Ok, I was so confused until I went to your website and read the article. The one that I was looking at happened in Turner County but was in the Coffee Copunty Progress and concerned the Hancock family. November 1913. I just couldn't find a Holton and thought I must be reading it wrong, especially since the type is small and the paper is faded. I'll see if I can find the Holton obit for you.

Not a lot to go on I know. I have two different Thomas Holtons, both of them were born in 1866, so either could have been him. Thats why I needed to know if there were an obit a few days after the murders. I figured since the murder rampage was written about, and the hearing, that surely there would have been some obits. Thanks for what ever you can come up with. Kay --- gene lib wrote: > Kay, > Do you have any more info?

Did I miss an email here? I haven't read the one regarding M L Cribb that Mel was referring to. In Coffee County in Dec. of 1902, Lee Cribb, my children's 2nd great grandfather, at age 26 killed the Coffee Co. Sheriff and an innocent bystander who was loading his wagon. This was done in a drunken rage at his wife for having him jailed and then leaving him because of his abuse. Lee was convicted and sentenced to hang 1903. His tombstone reads the date of 1903 for his death. Lee is actually Leon W Cribb, son of Eli Warren Cribb and Dicey Nelson, Descendants of Jonathan Cribb, b. 1777 in NC. M L Cribb in Turner Co, GA is Miles L Cribb and committed murder in his wife's family is a son of Ezekiel Cribb and a descendant of Jeremiah Cribb b abt 1796 of the Jones Co, GA Cribb lines. I suspect a family relationship between Jeremiah and Jonathan perhaps as father and son, but have never found proof. In a way, I am glad that this has been placed into a media that can be accessed for posterity, but unfortunately there are still many family members mortified by what has happened in the past. Lee was hung over 100 years ago and the deaths by M L nearly that. Anyone wishing information on the Cribb lines in NC, SC, GA, AL or FL, please contact me. I have worked for many years on the surname and have quite a bit of information on the family lines, some link to my children, some do not. Kimberly Clark Kansas City, MO
