Re: Garrett Fugate Murder in Molus, KY

pastorsuz — 2010-01-04 20:41:53Z

I think Avery is my father's great uncle. I have been trying to find anything out about the Keyes family (which is also spelled Keys--my great grandmother's gravestone uses that spelling). I was shocked to see "Uncle Avery"'s name connected with a murder...I didn't know about it, and I am so sorry. My grandfather was murdered that same year (Walter Parsons) in Pineville by a first cousin. Rough times.
I discovered a WHOLE LOT about my grandfather's murder by going to EKU's library and searching out the newspapers on microfilm. I was able to copy articles that were printed in the papers as far away as Lexington. It was interesting to get the original take on the circumstances. If you're able to get to any KY libraries (college libraries tend to have most), you are likely to find the articles on Garrett's murder. You will need some dates, though, or it will be like the old needle in a haystack.
Let me know if you find anything. I'd be interested, since it seems my family was involved. Again, I am sorry for the affect all that must have had on your family.

Hello,

I have found on several Ancestry.com family trees that have been posted by others that Mary Jane Shortridge McCoy died in 1942 in Wayne County, West Virginia. I don't know how accurate that information is though.

You might try obtaining her death certificate from West Virginia and hopefully her parents will be listed on the record. Also, you could try to locate an obituary for her in Wayne County that would hopefully have her parents listed.

Hope some of this helps. If you need any other help you can contact me at my email address below.

My name is Michael Keyes, and I belive that Avery Keyes is my grandfather. I don't know him, have never met him, and believe that my mother only met her father once, When he got out of prison for the murder of Garret Fugate in 1930. I just leaned of your great grandfather yesterday, christmas day, when asking my mother about my father and family.

Jeff,

There is the great mystery. From what I have read Jesse Fields was married to Elizabeth "Sally Ann" Combs Couch. I have found no documentation on any children. My Grandfather told me his Grandfather was Jesse Fields and his Grandmothers maiden name was Couch. If you want to give me you email address I can send you an invitation to my family tree. I have yet to be able to find documentation to prove this Jesse Fields was my Great Great grandfather but I keep gathering information and stories. Maybe my tree will help shed light on your tree!I also am liiking for information on what finally happened to Jesse Fields. He was involved and convicted of murder according to what I have read on the internet, but I can't find any information as to if he was imprisioned or received a death sentance and if so where and when. The stories just kind of fall off. I was told by my Grandfather that he was a sheriff, was shot in the back and killed, this is a very different version of what I am reading on the internet about the feuds.

garygriffith66208 — 2009-08-19 15:21:17Z

Hi Sarah, I think that your grandmother is my dad's first cousin. My dad's father was Cecil Griffith, and I think he had a brother named Henry who lived in Oregon. I might have his name wrong, but I definitely remember my dad talking about Barbara Griffith. Unfortunately, my dad died last year, so I can't check with him. Regardless, the Doc Taylor saga is incredibe, to say the least. My dad and I went to Wise, VA about 5 years ago and met a bunch of kin, who took us to Killing Rock. Have you seen the dvd "Red Fox/Second Hangin"? Write to me at garygriffith66208@yahoo.com.

Hi Gary,

I recently found out about Doc Taylor from my Aunt who has done loads of research on our family history. My grandma's maiden name is Griffith and was born in Oregon. Her name is Barbara. What an interesting story! I have really started to get interested in finding out more about my family history/heritage and what an amazing story about Doc Taylor. Anyway, just stumbled upon your name under this question about Doc Taylor and saw that your name was Griffith. Thought that was pretty cool!

Re SEXTON HUNG, A DULL THUD AND ANOTHER SOUL ANSWERS THE CALL-DENIES HIS GUILT TO THE LAST-SCAFFOLD SCENES

LRoutien — 2009-05-18 02:16:58Z

This is a transcription of the original newspaper article as it appeared in The Mountain Echo on April 3, 1885.

SEXTON HUNG. A DULL THUD AND ANOTHER SOUL ANSWERS THE CALL--DENIES HIS GUILT TO THE LAST--SCAFFOLD SCENES.

At 4:55, standard time, last Friday evening, John Sexton was hung at Barbourville in exiation of the crime of murdering George Routen near Woodbine July 21st, 1884. For several months, Sexton has been confined in the Lexington jail for safe keeping until the day of execution should arrive, from where he was taken late on Tuesday evening of last week by Sheriff Corum and a strong guard from Knox County and conveyed to the Knox County jail where they arrived Wednesday before noon where he remained with the exception of a very short time until the hour arrived for his execution. Tuesday evening he was taken to prayer meeting at the M.E. Church, in which he seemed to take considerable interest, kneeling at each prayer.

About 10 o'clock, he and his wife retired, his wife being permitted to stay with him all the while he was in Barbourville until he started to the gallows, and rested only tolerably well, but was sleeping soundly at 6 o'clock Friday morning when jailer Catron called him up to breakfast. He ate a light breakfast and was baptised in the jail at 7 o'clock by the Rev. S.F. Kelley of the M.E. Church, and whiled the day away as pleasantly as it would seem one could under such circumstances, talking to friends and relatives until noon, when he ate a very light dinner. Prayer services were held at the jail at 1 o'clock by Rev. G.B. Foley of the Baptist Church. A few minutes before 4 o'clock, he was dressed and at exactly 4 he took leave of his wife and father at the jail and started to the gallows about one hundred yards away, under heavy guard of about ten men, and sheriff Corum and the guard of fifty picked men, and arrived at the gallows at 4:06. Sexton rode to the gallows, seated on his coffin in a one-horse wagon, without being handcuffed or confined in any way with a guard seated on either side of him. He mounted the scaffold situated just in the rear of the new jail with a firm step and with as much composure as though he was only entering a dining room to eat a man's victuals and listened with an attentive ear to the reading of the death warrant by the clerk. Rev. G.B. Foley then quoted this passage of scripture: "Truly the Lord liveth and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death", sung and prayed. Sexton kneeling and engaging in the prayer. At 4:26 Sexton began talking and talked until (unreadable) stoutly maintaining his innocence, but said James Carter, his wife's brother, was the guilty party according to Carter's confession to him. He said that Carter told him that he did the killing and robbed the body of $783, and then promised to pay him and his wife $50 if they would never tell it. He also saw Carter coming away from where Routen's body was found with Routen's valise and clothing, and that Carter told him that in addition to these thngs, he had two hats, one of them having two bullet holes in it, a pistol, razor, brush, pocket-book, et., all worth about $17. Of the $50 that Carter had promised to pay him and his wife, he had only paid $15, and asked him to pay the balance to his wife and children.

He said that besides this he was accused of two other murders, but guilty of neither, that he had never killed a man, never had plotted to kill anyone and had never known of any plot previous to the crime, if he had, the day could never have been too bad or the night too dark for him to have gone and informed the parties. He said he was prepared to die and was going to a better world than this where there was probably not so much mud as here. He advised all of the boys to obey their parents, let cards and whiskey alone and escape the end he had now come to. He gave Brother Foley a note and asked him to talk to his children, brothers, etc., and then asked the public to see that his wife and little children never suffer. The black cap was then drawn over his face, and the rope adjusted, and the trap fell at 4:55. At 5:10 life was pronounced extinct by the atending physician, Dr. B.F. Herndon and B.F. Nelson; at 5:12 the body was taken down and placed in the coffin. The remains were immediately taken to his father's, Mr. Calvin Sexton, and buried Sunday.

SKETCH OF HIS LIFE
John Sexton was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Sexton, was born in 1856, married June, 1872 to Miss Alice Carter, to whom five children have been born, all of which are still living and reside about 3 1/2 miles East of Woodbine. He and his wife joined the M.E. Church about two years ago, Rev. Samuel Jarvis being their pastor.

SEXTON'S CRIME

On the 30th of last July, John Sexton, one of the most notorious characters of Woodbine, a station on the Knoxville branch of the L&N Railroad, sixteen miles west of Barbourville, a place known prior to the building of the railroad through it as Joe Fields, notoriously known throughout the country for the past quarter of a century for the host of desperate men who inhabited it and the number of murders that have been comitted within its limits which have covered the pages of its history common, learned there was a young man from Chicago, named George Routen, at work at Davis and Hammon's sawmill near Whipporwill post office in Laurel County, about five miles north of Woodbine, and that he was known to have about $200 in cash. On learning this, Sexton at once set about devising some plan by which he could decoy Routen off and rob him, and if necessary, take his life.

TO CONCEAL HIS CRIME

The idea at once struck Sexton that he would go and see Routen and represent to him that he could get a permanent position in a mill on Indian Creek, in Knox County, and at a highter wages than he was receiving, and that if he could induce Routen to change his position he would accompany Routen to Indian Creek, which was about ten miles from where he was at work. He would improve the best opportunity offered while on the route to execute his purpose conceived in a murderous heart.

Armed with his scheme well nurtured in his brain, and goaded on by the weakness of his heart, he started at once to see Routen and put his design into execution. Arriving at the mill he called Routen to one side, and in undertones, told him he had been looking for him for more than a week; that he had secured him a permanent position on Indian Creek, at wages 25 cents per day more than he was getting.

Credulous boy that he was, he accepted Sexton's flattering story, immediately settled accounts with his employers and left the same evening with Sexton, but it being quite late when they started, they only went as far as Woodbine that night. Early next morning they started again on their journey, stopping a few minutes at the store of S. Dowis & Son, about four miles east of Woodbine, where Routen bought a pair of shoes, a shirt, and some cartridges, and in paying for them exposed quite a sum of money. Mr. Dowis gave him a box to put his shoes in. Routen then put on his shoes, giving his old shoes to Sexton, and they left together. They had not gone over one and a half miles until they came to an unfrequented spot near Sexton's house, but a considerable distance from that of anyone else. Sexton conceived the thought that this was his most proptious time and place to
EXECUTE HIS HELLISH PLOT
so he told Routen that he had made arrangements with a sporting woman to meet them at that time a short distance in the brush, and that if Routen would go with him they could have a jolly time for a season. Routen at once consented and they immediately started for the dense brush to the point designated. They had gone but about one hundred yards when Sexton fell in the rear, drew his pistol, and shot Routen in the back of the head, robbed his person, threw the reamins in a "nap" of a fallen tree and left for home.

He was seen coming out of the woods where Routen's body was afterwards found, and enter his house with Routen's shirt box under his arm by Frank Elliott and Tolbert Helton. Next day he and his wife visited several stores in the neighborhood where they bought quite an amount of goods, displaying a considerable roll of money. As Sexton was a worthless character, and was never known to have any money before, and as Routen was mysteriously missing, Sexton was at once suspected of having murdered and robbed him and was arrested, a search instituted for the body of Routen which was found on the 6th of August with a bullet hole in his head, one in his mouth, and one in his hand, and his body wrapped in an overcoat and quilt, which were afterwards proven to belong to Sexton.

On the examining trial, Sexton was held over without bail, and at the subsequent term of the Knox Circuit Court, was tried, convicted, and sentenced to be hanged on the 3rd of November, 1884, but pending an appeal his sentence was respited until March 27, 1885.

This is what I printed off online several years ago, that was posted as part of a family tree: "Lida Jackson says John is buried at a little cemetery off the Little Indian Creek Road near Dallas Logan's over in the field on the right of the road". Someone familiar with the area would probably be able to find this cemetery. Hope this helps you.

I wrote to the courthouse in KY several years ago, asking about the transcripts from the trial, and never received a reply from them. Others have gone there in person to try and find the transcripts, but they have indeed "disappeared". Obviously, there's likely a very good reason why the transcripts aren't available. It's my opinion that an innocent man, your great-grandfather, was hanged for a crime he didn't commit. I obtained the newspaper article, exactly as it was published at the time, from a genealogy library in Indiana.

Re: Sol Fleming

bongiornog — 2009-03-22 00:22:41Z

Sol was my grandfather's grandfather, I believe. I would be very interested in any information you may have about my ancestry. My grandfather just passed away last year, his name is Pridemore Fleming. He claimed to be part cherokee, and my mother looked it. I believe he had a brother named George. His fathers name is Hibbert Fleming, and he married Bessie Street(?) I was able to trace it back from online info to Ireland, and on the Stumbaugh side to Alsace.

My grandpa wasn't really in touch with the rest of his family, and had moved to Detroit, MI, in the 50's. He married my grandmother, Theresa Pruchnic(she is still alive today living in Dallas, TX near her daughter/my aunt Monica)
Theresa and Pridemore Fleming had three children, Ronald, Monica, and Catherine Sharon(My Mother). My mother married Osvaldo Salvatore Bongiorno, and had my Sister Laura Alessandra, and me, Gina Maria Bongiorno. My sister married Brandon Little, and had a little girl 2 years ago, Ellieanna Minot Little.

Any more information about my ancestry would be appreciated.

At one point I found a picture of Sol with handcuffs on, years ago on the net, but was unable to find it again. The article said he was a bank robber.

Hi, Good to here from you, I am Cullen Edward Porter Jr. born in Chicago on 1/7/1957 and living in the Chicago south suburb of Midlothian, IL since 1962. I have a B.S. degree and was working in hotel maintenance since 1994.

My father was Cullen Edward Porter Sr. (1922-1994) who worked in sheet-metal labor from 1055 to 1987.

His mother was Pearl Mae Litteral (1898-1972)
she was the only grandparent I ever met. She had a nickname of "MAA-MAW" and had 10 children total 5 boys and 5 girls. the 4 oldest are "Porters" (Carol and Marie are still living, Jake died in 1995) and the last 6 are "Hinkles" (Lois, Catherine, Bill "BEBOE", Lydia and Clyde are still alive, Troy "TED" died in 2004).

and her mother was Lydia McCoy (1876 ?-1967 ?)
She was the only great grandparent I ever met.We called her "NANO"
I am told that before Lydia married John Litteral and had 4 children, she had Pearl first by a Jessie Duncan out of wedlock.

If you know anything about Pearl's real father let me know. also I would love to have those pictures of Asa and I will send you some of me and Pearl's children. Lois' son Ron Sutton has been living here also since 1994.

I have been trying to find out if Everett was still alive, Ron, BEBOE and I seen him last in 1995 at his home in Ashland, KY. where is he living now?
Give me his address and I will send some pictures to him.
I was also told by my father that Everett had a picture of Elizabeth Ann Rutherford (1837-1928 ?) who was Lydia's mother and was better known as "betsy ann" McCoy.

Give me a listing of Everett's family (I think he had about 7 children?) I took some home movies at his house in 1995 and I could also send you a copy of that.
