The following is from some of my research on the lynching in Greenfield. Joe Stout Hanging of Mallie Wilson in Greenfield, TN 1915 Mallie Wilson was born in September 1893 and was living in Greenfield in the 1900 census with his widowed grandmother Martha A. Manuel born in June of 1848. Other members of the family in her household were Franky Watson, a daughter born April 1863 and her son Jimmy Watson born March 1882, Robert Watson born June 1882, granddaughters Minnie Russell born April 1884 and Lottie Wilson born December 1887. All of these born in Tennessee. The 1910 Census shows Frankie Watson as the mother of Lottie and Mallie and Martha Manual as her mother. Also in the household were Snowdie Flinnay age 12 a cousin and Virginia M. Terrell age 3 a granddaughter. In the next household are Elbert and Minnie Terrell ages 28 and 25 who may be the parents of Virginia M. Terrell.

He was born October 1900 and lived in Greenfield until about age 14 or 15 (we think) when they moved to Arkansas. This must have been the one you described. Martha Smith
