My father was James Lyttle. He was a son of David Lyttle of Russell Co., Va. My father removed to Harlan Co., Ky. in 1846 and settled just above Mt. Pleasant where he lived two years then removed 8 miles further up the Clover Fork near the old homestead of Wm. Turner, one of the first settlers of Harlan County. At that time he was a 100 years old and his wife was the same age. They were both paralyzed and both died the same week when they were about 104 years old. They raised a large family perhaps 12 in number. One daughter married John B. Clay who was murdered for his money in 1856. I saw him borrow the money $95. He was killed by unknown parties supposed to be Joe Noland, Hezekiah Clem.They were prosecuted. D.Y. Lyttle attended them. John Dishman and others prosecuted. They were acquitted. Clem was hung in 1858 for killing Ben Irvine in Mt. Pleasant. Lyttle and Dishman prosecuted. The trial excited great interest. Clem's mot! her was Tupsey? Hall, a sister of James, Hezekiah, Francis Hall and others. The Halls were and early family and fighters and thieves. Tupsey Hall was a noted woman. I saw her shoot a big buck in the ford at Mt. Pleasant. When the hunter came up she refused to them them any part of it.Old Sammy Howard killed John Hensley. David Y. Lyttle defended Howard and cleared him. I rode behind Sammy Howard in Lee Co., Va. He did not mean to kill Hensley. He struck him with a little stick to keep him from cutting him. Howard was a good, very old man.
