  A Talk with John Akeman - 1898
  Ned Callahan and Capt. Strong compromised their troubles in Jackson, and in a few days Strong was killed. Their excuse for that way of doing was that Capt. Strong did the same way with the Amises. He and John Amis and old Wilson Callahan agreed to go home and go to work, and he would not trouble them. In two days, he had them killed. At least it was only a few days. Old Wiley, Tom, Ause, and Bob Amis bundled up and left at once. I don't think any of the Strong men were killed. I do not remember that any besides these were killed on the Amis side. This lasted over a year. Strong kept his men around him. The others did not have the means to support their men in a body as Strong had. Old John Deaton declared that they killed 40 head of sheep for him during the war.

  About Our Family Research
  My family lines include the surnames STRONG, RICHARDSON, RALEIGH, HADDIX, SPENCER, and others. I have accumulated much information on the STRONGs over the years, and I also have quite a bit on the HADDIXes, but have had some difficulty in tracking my RICHARDSON roots (and to some extent, the RALEIGH family). Any help would be appreciated. Just recently, my father (Sam Strong, Jr.) and I published our first book entitled "At Rest Among Thorns: The Story of Captain Bill Strong, as told by Strong family descendants." Ask me about availability at [email protected]@kih.net. Contact the Author
