Sue: I checked in my copy of Franklin County Virginia 1786-19986 A Bicentennial History by John and Emily Salmon, pp. 223-25. There is a lengthy review of a feud between the Witcher and Clement families which resulted in a gunfight at Dickinson's store 25, February 1860. "When the smoke cleared James and William Clement were dead, and Ralph Clement lay dying." I am not sure if this is what you are looking for. There is no mention of Carrie, but the incident was a major event in the history of Franklin County, VA. What is interesting Sue is that on page 222 just before the above is recorded, the assault in which Samuel Dillion charged that Barnett, Elijah, Elisha, Hezekiah, Isham (Jr.) and Isham (Sr.) and William Blankinship with "Swords, Clubs, Fists upon the said plaintiff . . . an assault did make and him did beat wound and ill treat so that his life was greatly despaired." This reference to a court record may be the only written proof on some of the siblings of Isham (Sr.). Bill Huntington Beach
