Joe:
The Louisville Daily Journal of April 15, 1865 carried the following:

Marion Wounded - We learn that John Oliver, alias "Bill Marion," was shot and badly wounded, last Sunday a week ago, in a fight with Bridgewater, and his men. The ball passed through his hips, inflicting such an ugly wound that his life is despaired of. Mitchell, it is said, is leading Marion's guerrillas during his confinement, and it is supposed that it was Mitchell, and not Marion, who captured Dr. Miller, but from whom he escaped. There is no doubt that Marion is wounded, as he has not been heard from recently.

Hope this helps.
