Dale. Thanks for the information. I have heard some stories, too. One is about John Calvin Brown during the Civil War. My Aunt Flossie Ashburn Atkins (who just passed away June 18, 2003) told me #1 There were Union soldiers on one side of the creek and Confederate Soldiers on the other side. It was night and they caught John Calvin and were going to hang him until they saw Polly (John's wife) go toward the Confederate Camp with a light (going for help)..they let him go because they didn't want a fight.. My Cousin Bobby Neely told me the same story this year, too.Bobby is the son of Artie Ashburn the daughter of Robert Balaam Neely and Elvira Brown, daughter of John Calvin and Polly Phillips Brown. #2 This was told to Bobby by his Grandmother Elvira Neely, daughter of John Calvin Brown. There were Union soldiers on one side of the creek and Confederates on the other. It was night and the Union soldiers caught John and were going to hang him because they said he had helped the Rebs. The Union soldiers hung him but when they left Elvira and her two sisters cut him down. They said John lived (which we knew) but was never "right" after that.. One other note. I was surprised to find out recently My Great Grandfather James Anderson Ashburn was a Union Soldier..I have to say I was disappointed.

Betty, If I'd been hanged and later cut down, I doubt I'd ever be "right" again either! Ron At 04:00 PM 11/9/2003 -0800, you wrote: >Dale. >Thanks for the information. I have heard some stories, too.
