Thanks for the reply Dan...... ----------------- Chris, Hope Dan's info is helpful..... I would suggest you get a copy of Perry's book about the 'Old 23rd District' (if you don't already have one). You can still buy it locally in Paris from his descendants if you don't. Not much on 'Moonshine Wars', but good pictures and geneology of those who lived in the area. Suggest you also attend the annual 'gathering' of the 'Old 23rd District' members around July 4th at the old Church to get personnel info from folks who used to live in the that area and participated in the 'Wars'. Please excuse me if you already know some of the information, for I don't how much you have researched this period or the area............ Alot of folks and 'noteable' families from the 'Old 23rd' (part of Henry County at the northern tip of Benton County) were involved in illegal Moonshine production. Though they don't want it discussed publically, they relate their stories about this period amongst themselves and their dislike for the 'Revenuoors'. Prior discussions, I have had with some of the TVA authorities, have indicated that though there was not a 'real reason' for the TVA to relocate the families of the 'Old 23rd' at the time of the flooding of Kentucky Lake, the TVA did it in order to 'remove' this section of the local society from the area, as they were deemed 'undesireable' to the rest of the population in Benton and Henry Counties. Don't know.....only repeating what I have been told by some the local residents of Big Sandy and the TVA folks. As you have been informed by Dan, this 'topic' is not open to discussion in the local population. Perry was warned NOT to discuss it in his book on the area. Suggest you handle your inquires with 'velvet gloves'. You can still get the transcripts of the Evans' case at the Henry County Courthouse........ Be careful here......but,....Wish you well in this endeavor. Let us know how we might help, and please stay on List with your progress.

Hi Wil & Dave: That is an old email address. I use DanMartin@xc.org for all my genealogy work. My Dad remembers the event in question. Cloys' father, George Martin, was my grandfather's brother. Cloys and his dad had a still, and the community, lacking proper law enforcement, took things into their own hands. Some of them came up and broke up the still. Cloys evidently shot Tom Evans over this incident. Cloys served about a year in prison for the murder. My Dad said that George made really good whisky. He said that George didn't drink himself since he was a member of the Church of Christ, but gave a lot of money from the sale of the whisky to the church. My Dad is loosing his memory, but I will ask him if he remembers any more details about the incident. I know it is still a sensitive matter with Cloys' family. Larry Perry was warned not to put anything in his book on the Old 23rd about it. Tom Evans was the first cousin once removed of Cloys' wife, Clara Evans Martin. His full name was Thomas Jefferson Evans, b. 1884, Henry Co., TN, d. 18 Apr 1926, Henry Co., TN, m. 28 Jun 1908 to Claudia Herndon, b. 1885, d. 1969. The following is from Charles D. Robbins book: "And of course, there was the bootleg war which made headlines even in the large city newspapers. A man named Homer Wells, who was a native of Paris, but was head of the L. & N. Railroad detectives came to Paris to head the investigation, and he later wrote a story about it that appeared in True Detective magazine. "This had been a case where numerous stills were operating out in the woods and the law enforcement officials couldn't find them, or more likely they were not trying to find them. "There were men living in the area who were against the making of bootleg whiskey, so they took the law into their own hands and were breaking up the stills. After a couple of years of simmering, the conflict broke into the open when Tom Evans, one of the 'Vigilantes' was shot and killed." [Source: "Old 23rd District," by Charles D.

No Accidents (from the "Sunday Afternoon Rocking" series) Nothing could begin until they all arrived. By this time, it appeared that all were at least in the same country, but nothing could begin until they all converged upon the same place within it. In 1801, most all were in North Carolina/Virginia area, many near one another, but no marriage records indicating they yet knew one another. Some were in Pennsylvania. Some were already in Tennessee territory and some were in route from Maryland. Some would be in the right spot within a few short years, and some would not arrive for forty more years. Most would come for the same reason: to own a spot of land they could call their own, to coax a living from the soil. Some would come for other reasons, to find a "safe" place out of the impending storm of white settler and Native American clashes, or to bring their trade and talents to a rapidly expanding frontier. In 1801, there would have been more than thirty of them in various stages of their lives. All of them were my direct ancestors, but nothing could begin until they all arrived. Until these ancestors of Irish, Scotch, English, French and Native American roots could converge on a small area known as "Land Between the Rivers" there was no chance for my birth or the birth of my descendants. And obviously, they all arrived. I have often wondered on that. In that time period the chances of survival were not high anyway. The world would have been fraught with health dangers, regardless of the intensified dangers of travel through a wilderness and homesteading a frontier. If only one of those ancestors had been in the wrong place at the wrong time, met with the wrong untimely disaster, a family line would never have been, and hundreds of descendants never have drawn breath. It is a wonder to me to think of it, to even realize the miracle of being. It is a wonder to me to realize that this "happen chance" has been, not just since 1801, but since the dawn of civilization and the creation of humanity. A very long time ago, when my son was having a very hard time of things, I did a little homework and a little research, and I wrote him this little piece to remind him in yet another way how very special he was. I was astounded myself at what I learned. It became a lesson for myself, as well as a lesson for him. This is how special you are... If you had been born in this country 200 years ago, you would have had less than a 20% chance of reaching the age of ten. If you had been born in most of the world today, the same is still true. But this is not the most wondrous part of who you are. Listen... For only a few hours of one week of one month in a certain year was it even possible that your conception could even occur. There was one in 450 million chances that the sperm that created you did so. Had it not you would have been another child. When you were conceived you received 23 chromosomes from your mother and 23 from your father, but all of those were a toss up from millions. If one chromosome had been different, you would be a different child. Theoretically, any one of 64 trillion children could have been born...yet it was YOU. Add to that the fact that even after you received the chromosomes that led to your creation, they have a quirky little habit of "crossing over", changing pieces and parts of each other and this made for eight million MORE possibilities of you being someone different from who you are. If one chromosome had switched one part with another...you would not exist... And yet you do. You were born in this country in this time to this family. You were conceived within the only few hours that were possible for you to exist. You beat the odds of one in 450 million to receive a particular sperm, you beat the odds of one in 64 trillion to receive just the right mix of chromosomes, and you beat the odds of one in eight million that no switching was done afterward except that which produced YOU. Have you any doubt that you are meant to be, meant to exist? Have you any doubt that there is some very special purpose for you on this earth?

Thanks for all the concern everyone. I'm okay now, but I sure hope no one else got infected. It's kinda scary that it got past the virus detection and through to me. These things are getting way too smart. I guess I like getting things from DanvilleCrossing so much that I opened the files without thinking. It's been way too quiet out there for a long time now. It's just good to hear from someone even if they send me a virus. :) Take care now, Peggy

Peggy , I do know what you are saying.. I too have received an email from W. A. Christopher that was infected. But I have Norton on my computer and it caught it before I opened it. As a matter of fact my computer just notified me of another.. I do not get upset like I used to as I know how the virus works.. I just hope everyone gets their computers cleaned up real good and gets rid of the virus'.. Good luck to anyone who was unfortunate enough not to catch it in time.

Peggy, this is W.A. Christopher, I am sorry that you got the message from me. I did not send a message. I received the virus from someone that I knew. It is looking for credit card numbers etc. I did not open the file however I guess it then was sent to any of my unopened mail. That would be Danville Crossing. I have checked my system several times and according to McAfee V 6.0 I do not have a virus now. I hope this was not too much trouble for you. Will from Big Sandy through Michigan and now MO.

I went to an AOL virus chat room and they recommended this Anti-virus software <A HREF="http://www.simplysup.com/">http://www.simplysup.com/</A> for the virus I got from other DanvilleCrossing subscribers. It's free for 30 days, costs $25.00 after that and works automatically. Hopefully, no one else was infected. I apologize to Phyllis Arbogast and W. A. Christopher if I upset you. I was "totally freaked out" when I realized what had happened. I didn't know how the virus worked until later. Happy Holidays, Everyone, Peggy

Mollie, Thanks! I'm reading about it now and hoping to find an anti-virus before it gets my files. I don't turn off my computer very often, so I'm okay if the power stays on. :) The files I received end with ".mp3.pif" just in case any of you get one of them. You should be okay if you don't download them. Also, the subject line was from a Danville Crossing message that I remembered, so that's why I downloaded them. Boy, do I feel stupid. Thanks again for your help. Peggy

I just received virus downloads to my direct email from Phyllis Arbogast and W. A. Christopher. Could someone please explain this?

Peggy, It has happened to me before , that is the only reason I know... Check out Norton , they are good.

These people may not know they even have a virus. I am sure it was not done intentionally.
