Notes

William Rolen Stucker lists given name as William.

Johnie Williams was killed by a man named Stephens. He lived up near Chad Herrel's. He hit Johnnie on the head with an iron spikeat at a saw mill down near Curt Huff's. They brought him up to Bobby's old log cabin that afternoon where he died. Stephens went to North Carolina but was brought back to Sevierville, Tennessee where he was kept in a mule stable until he was tried and hung.

Buried in Huff Cemetery but lists him as husband of Polly.
