- Union Soldier, Company B, 2nd TN Infantry, discharged 1864
From Judy Gooch:
Anyway I have been trying to locate descendants of the family of JamesGarrett Hall and Matilda Jones Hall for years. But nothing, willtell you what I know. He was a Union Soldier Co. B 2nd Inf Tn (roll no131) He was discharged -2-1864 Old Garrrett Hall 1820 was 1st marriedto Diannah in Missouri, he resided in Morgan Co. Tn and was registerof deeds at time of his death in 1869. He was 5 ft 8 inches tall,dark compexion, black eyes black hair. He was supposed to have beenkilled by Bill Keith. (He was married to Susan Byrd Walker at thetime. They had one child James Garrett Jr. who married Matilda Jonesand moved to Springfield Illinois. I believe that Garrett/JamesGarrett 1869 died in IL and Matilda moved to CA to live near or withher children:
======Morgan Co Tragedy. Killed on the Highway, The Sequel To a Deedof Blood, About one year ago, a Mr. Hall, of Morgan Co was killed byW.J. Keith, a young man, son of Senator Keith of the same county. MrKeith and his friends claimed that the killing was in self defence.In November last, young Keith was tried for murder and the jury failedto agreee. Keith was released on bail. We learned yesterday, that onMonday last, while young Keith was riding on horsebac, on the roadfrom Ontgomery to Jamestown, and about six mile west of the formerplace, he was fired upon from an ambush, on the side of the road andkilled. On Wed a man, whose name we did not learn, was arrested,charged with the killing. As we learn, he confessed that himself andMr. S. Hall, fired the shots. The mail (?) ??ler, who brought thesefacts to Clinton, yesterday, stated that when he left Montgomey, Hallwas still at large. Dailey Press and Hearald, Knoxville, Sat 10 Dec1870 Vol IV, No 137

Homicide in Morgan Co. W.J. Keith Shot & instantly Killed. theintelligence reaches us from Morgan Co that Wiliam J. Keith a son ofex Senator Keith of that Co was assassinated near Montgomery, onWednesday Night. We are unable to furnish any parrticulars. The mailboy met him on the fatal evening, not far from where the deed wasperpetrated and on returning next morning from Jamestown, ascertainedthat he had been shot from his horse while riding along the road, mostprobably by parties in ambush. We learn that several parties aresuspected and that three of them have been arrested, one of whomconfesses that he participated in a conspiracy to take Keiths life.the unfortunate event is no dobut the result of a bitter feud that hasexisted there for some time past. Last spring Keith killed a mannamed Hall, for which he was tried in the Circuit Court a few dayssince, and as we have before announced, the jury was unable to agreeupon a verdict. Since the killingffo Hall, KKeith has been shot atonce before this and we are informed that threats were freely madethat his life should be taken during the progress of the trial in theCircuit Court. One of the parties arrested, we are informed is abrother of Hall, who was killed by Keith as before stated. KnoxvilleDailey Chronicle Sat 10 Dec 1870 Vol I No189--------------------------------
