Perry Connolly is buried at Cowen, Webster County on a farm located on John Goff road just outside of Cowen. My Ancestor Alexander Benjamin "Alex" Goff & and his friend Jacob Phillip Starcher who both served with Perry Connolly in the Moccasin Rangers moved to near Cowen just after the Civil War. The Moccasin Rangers stayed here alot in and around Cowen during the war, because most of its Citizens were very loyal to the Confederacy. And they gave food and shelter to those in the Moccasin Rangers who was being hunted down by the "Snake Hunters" who was ordered to trck them down. They once ambushed a Union supply wagon at Birch River, and took the loot up the river 8 miles from Cowen, in the loot was the Payroll for Union Soldiers. They instructed to two soldiers to take the strong box up a Hollar and hide it in a good place, and they would continue up the river to draw the Yankes away from them and they would meet them later. Well, the two men hiding the payroll was sho!
t and killed, but they were able to get the strong box hdden before they were killed. They hid it so well that neither the Yankee soldiers chasing them or the Moccasin Rangers could find the Strong box. And it is said that was why my Ancestor moved to Webster County. But him and everybody else has never been able to find that strong box.

Note: Page 41, of H. E. Matheny's Major General Thomas Maley Harris states that "Shortly after the skirmish at Arnoldsburg, Lieutenant James P. Conley was a member of a group that were part sent to Laurel Creek and the rest to Birch River looking for bushwhackers. His brother, Perry Conley, was one of the guerrilla leaders. The guerrillas were located, and in a hand to hand conflict. James killed his brother Perry. James was advanced to 1st Lieutenant 12 September 1862 but was dismissed 12 September 1864." Page 31, of the same book states that "A large two-story house located in the Big Bend of the Little Kanawha River was used as a fort by George Downs and Peter Saurburn, and their Partisan Rangers. Perry Conley, another of the guerrillas, operated on the North side of the river, ranging back into Gilmer, Braxton and Webster counties. In December his gang murdered at least two people and robbed seven families. Perry Hayes and Ben Haymond returned from Webster County where they had taken refuge when portions of the 10th Regt reached that region. On the way north they fired on a supply train near BuIltown. Robert Ervin, another ruffian, returned to Calhoun County and was one of the right-hand men of Perry Hayes."
