September 25, 1862 - Brothers Burnett, Runyan [sic] and Bryan went to Lexington to convey seven two-horse wagons - 5 from the church and one a-piece from the North Family and West Lot for the Confederate Army, by order of an officer who came yesterday. They promised to pay for them in Southern Scrip. The Brethren returned late at night bringing one of the West Family Wagon back by liberty. They received 640 dollars in Southern Scrip. (Hutton, p. 66)
Author's note: this would have been either William or George Runyon
