Yes. I suppose it will remain a mystery. Of course, I live in Raymond so I do not openly contradict the belief that a Witworth was there. It’s important to some of the folks here, so I let it be.
When I was in high school, my brother and I spent many hours metal detecting out there, and though we recovered several fragments and one shell, none were Witworth. I also helped with the archaeological recovery on the battlefield when the Friends of Raymond purchased the property. We did not find any Witworth evidence. Of course, that doesn’t mean much, for if there was a Witworth there and it burst early on in the battle, there would be few indications of it anyway.
