Shawn, thank you for that information! I hadn’t heard that but I will go now and check my information on James Gibbs. I have to tell you I’m not surprised as I’ve seen so many instances of violence like this as I’ve done research on my family. Do you have anything regarding this you could share? I would love to know why James shot him. Like I’ve seen in many instances, these perpetrators generally did not suffer severe lawful consequences. As I said, I’ll look around and see what I can find and can I give you belated condolences regarding your ggg-grandfather? Susan Pence

Hello, Susan. Thank you for responding. Unfortunately, all of my information is second-hand from a FamilySearch poster (a descendant of William Hale, Dock's brother who was also shot that day but lived) and from an old Rootsweb post. So while it seems this person is knowledgeable, they don't have citations so it is anecdotal to an extent.

In the FamilySearch instance, I have contacted her because it was more recent but haven't heard back yet, but she said in a post she made about it that she corroborated the information with microfiche reels and that Mr. Gibbs was not punished because he left the county shortly after. Here's part of each from both sources:

Rootsweb:

"I found the documents concerning what happened and also a small newspaper article about the death of Ephraim. it was the very first murder trial in the brand new county of Menifee Co..."

Familysearch:

"Ephraim Hale was murdered in 1869 by a man named Gibbs in the newly formed Menifee Co. Kentucky. In fact, it was the first trial in the new county. There was some kind of trouble between the Hale family and Gibbs; William C. Hale, older brother of Ephraim was wounded but Ephraim was shot and killed in the altercation. Gibbs was found guilty of the murder of Ephraim but left before they could lock him up but that is what happens when you give a bond for murder I would think. I believe it happened on McCausey Ridge which was close to the Hale land and there is a Gibbs cemetery there also. I went to Menifee County years ago and obtained the court records of the trial which were few at that time. I have only found one small newspaper article about the death."

I appreciate any other information you may find or have. Thank you for reaching out!

After years of research, I found out the Mr. Gibbs was the man who shot my ggg-grandfather, Dock Ephraim Hale, in a field near their houses and killed him. Dock's brother was also shot in the altercation but lived. This was in 1867. If anyone has any information on this, please comment. I would love to know more about it. Thank you!
