Research Notes

Amon Haile and his wife, Lockie Brown, were both natives of Jackson county, Tennessee and descendants of two old Virginian families, representatives of who were among the first settlers of West and middle Tennessee. Amon was a lifelong resident of Jackson County, was a volunteer in the War of 1812 from that county, being then a lad in his teens, was a blacksmith and a farmer, a man of quiet life and unostentatious ways. He died in 1867, in the seventy-fifth year of his age.^[3]

Amon was supposedly struck and killed by lightning but I have also seen where a tree fell on him. Maybe the tree was struck by lightning and then fell on him.
