My Great GRanfather was born in 1853 near Locke Creek, so I suspect the Story was handed down from him about the fence. What would be interesting to have, would be a War Between the States Site on our Cannon County info. People could contribute their info to this on their Ancestors. It is most interesting because the County was split in the War.

Kevin, Part of the Union force out of Murfreesboro split off and attempted to flank the Confederate troops in Woodbury. The route this smaller body took was the Locke's Creek Road. They expected to circle around and come into Woodbury by the Auburntown road and pull a surprise attack. The story goes that they became lost in their journey and never succeeded in carrying out their mission. Rumors have it that they are still somewhere on Pleasant Ridge trying to find a way out. My own theory is that they probably just found one of the stills in the area and became "somewhat distracted". :-) Danny Nichols ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Morgan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 17, 2006 11:41 AM Subject: Re: [TNCANNON] Fence > My Great GRanfather was born in 1853 near Locke Creek, > so I suspect the Story was handed down from him about > the fence. > What would be interesting to have, would be a War > Between the States Site on our Cannon County info. > People could contribute their info to this on their > Ancestors.

Allen Morgan lived on Locke Creek. Near what is the old Campbell Place. Some Morgans are buried in Ready/Gaither Cemetery.
