Two Held in Tenn. Slaying Jacksboro, Tenn. (AP) - Two men who surrended voluntarily to Sheriff Austin Harmon of Campbell County were held without charge Saturday in connection with the slaying of a coal mine owner near here Friday night. Harmon said,?Clyde Padgett, 33, and Will Ledford, 66, admitted slashing Minton Wilburn, 45, at his mine on Stinking Creek.? The sheriff said he doesn't know whether charges will be?filed against them. "It looks like they just got into a fight", the sheriff reported. The Kingsport Times News, Kingsport, Tenn., Jan. 7,?1951 ?

The marriage certificate lists their names as Medy Jordan and Moss L. Wilson. I am looking now to see if Moss fits in with my Wilsons. And if Medy fits into the Jordan's that also married into my Wilson line with John Presnell Jordan and Mary Cordelia *Cordie* Wilson. Does anyone know who Medy and Moss's parents were? **************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars. (http://autos.aol.com/used?ncid=aolaut00050000000007)

As I recall, we had an instance of this in a strip mining situation in the 1970s in the Poioneer area, so it's not just North Carolina or WVA.

Mountain top removal mining address:http://www.stopmountaintopremoval.org/ Being this effects the lands of many of my ancestors it just broke my heart. I thought with strip mining outlawed this was behind us. Thought our group might be interested in this subject. Sadly this affects the land of many of our ancestors, cemeteries, our people and the environment. NC has laws banning this....Lois Mountaintop Removal Mining A form of strip mining that has grown increasingly notorious for laying waste to mountains and their forests, streams and wildlife, and for the consequences inflicted on people who live nearby: flooding, desecration of cemeteries, round-the-clock explosions that damage wells and houses and shatter nerves, and loss of the family "homeplace" and mountain culture.

The old mountaintop cemetery, covered with daylilies shaded by maples, sassafras, basswood and many other hardwood tree-species, is an oasis surrounded by over 12,000 acres of active and "reclaimed" mountaintop removal mines. Laws require mountaintop removal operations to relocate cemeteries from mining, or to not mine within 100 feet of cemeteries and to give people access to cemeteries remaining on otherwise mined land. .

Is it possible his name was spelled Sweat? I see a lot of people with this spelling listed in "History in Stone", cemeteries of Campbell County, Tn. but no Martin. There is a Sweat Cemetery with a lot of unmarked graves.
