History At Stony Creek
In 1864, supplies for Lee's army were
carted from the Weldon Railroad here
to Petersburg. Here the Union Cavalryman,
Wilson, returning from his raid in Burkeville,
fought an action with Lee's cavalry, June 28-29,
1864. The place was raided by the Union
Cavalryman, Gregg, on December 1, 1864.
