Notes |
- The following is a story told to William Linley from Greens and Lanns, and apparently was confirmed by Bo Morris ( William Linely E-mail 3/31/2000). John W. Green was a member of Company I, Monroe Raiders, of the 24th Mississippi Infantry Regiment, CSA. He was wounded in battle and was in a hospital in Kentucky, At some point he left Kentucky and did not report to duty, Instead, John along with two Chaney brothers came home to Monroe County. Sometime after reaching the protection of home, he apparently stole some money form his father-in-law, Henry Pickle. Apparently Henry, or the law caught up with John in Detroit, Lamar County, Alabama and hung him along with the unlucky brothers behind the Detroit post office. William believes that he is buried in the Old Franklin Cemetery near Detroit.
