Description: Fun Fact: During the Civil War, Boydville narrowly missed being destroyed when Capt. F. 0. Martindale, under orders from General Hunter, arrived with his troops to burn the house to the ground, in retaliation for the Confederate burning of Governor Bradford’s house. Mary Boyd Faulkner was given one hour to leave, taking away only wearing apparel for herself and daughters. The only other family member at home was one daughter, Mrs. Pierce. Mrs. Faulkner managed to send a message of appeal to President Lincoln and the house was spared. President Lincoln replied: “The property of Charles James Faulkner is exempt from the order of General David Hunter for the burning of residences of three prominent citizens of the Shenandoah Valley in retaliation for the burning of Governor Bradford’s house in Maryland by the Confederate forces.” Dated: July 18, 1864 Signed: Abraham Lincoln (source boydville . com)••••• Hi!
