There are a couple of ways in which the Federal presence on our land has had lasting import for us.
1. I often have cause to reflect on what our lives would have been like if we hadn't experienced the economic devastation of having this large and fine house destroyed and its barns, dependencies, and outbuildings burned as well so that the family never recovered financially. We lost that property, and right now the land is a cow pasture, soon to be turned into a townhouse development south of Winchester, VA.
2. The child who was born nine months after this episode always had his paternity questioned. You see, his father was on site at the time of the episode--the Yankees had come looking for him, as a colonel of cavalry. In an age before DNA proofs of paternity, there would always be some doubt about whether the boy was really his father's son. There were resulting family disputes and eventual lawsuits, with financial and inheritance consequences.
3. The lady who experienced this attack was seriously injured and never recovered. She was never able to bear another child and died two years later. I don't know if her internal injuries gradually led to her death or not but they certainly prevented other children from being born.
4. "Implications" is correct in this application.
