I was hoping that someone with a subscription to a Newspaper article site could try to find an article on a murder that supposedly happened.
The only info I know about it is on this find a grave page
https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=59439384
all it says is...... Nancy Kisire "Seana" Swearingen was married to a man with the last name of "Stevenson" (first name unknown) but believe to be "Tom", about 1870. This man, while drunk, killed Seana's brother about 1875 and was sent to prison for 30 years. About 3 years later, she married Riley Dyer. Her two children, born in this marriage to Stevenson, Mary and Sam, took the name "Dyer" for the remainder of their life.
Also the family was all living in Jackson County, Tennessee during this time.
There has got to be some kind of article on this
I have an ancestry subscription and would be willing to do some searching for records for any records you might me needing to find, in return for your help :)
