In collection some family history during the Civil War, I was sent the following which was written by William Daniel Cabell who lived in Nelson County during The War........

"Generals Sheridan, Custer, Devon, and Fitzhugh, who occupied my property with their cavalry commands, near the close of the struggle, burned most of my buildings and all my fences.  "Awful Slaughter of Horses" Confederate Veteran Magaine Vol II 1893 pg. 243. 

My Question.  Would the 'Fitzhugh' be General Fitzhugh Lee, or was there Union Fitzhugh to whom we can ascribe the burning"?
