According to Eula Mae
Lyon McNutt after Hiram E. Payne died and his son, Anderson needed some money
and wanted to sell his part so there had to be some surveying done to determine
what was A.
Y. Clinks and Mary Polly Payne Clicks
and what was Hiram E's lands. This surveying business
& Court Case is on file in Scott Co. Va. Of course it once all belonged to
Old Enoch Payne.
His father (Hiram E. Payne) was killed in Scott
Co., VA, August 1865, by horse theives, bushwhackers.
Anderson was shot in knee and
crippled for life, and Hiram
England, Sr.
Hiram England, a first cousin to Hiram E. Payne was at
Payne's home August 1865 when Payne's horses were stolen and being
driven through the woods up the Clinch River Knobbs southwards towards the
Clinch River and the
Virginia and
Tennessee
State line. The two Hiram's
and Paynes teenage son Anderson G. Payne
tried to overtake and recover the horse when Hiram E. Payne was killed
and Anderson G. shot in the knee and crippled for life.
Hiram England ran for his life and obtained help of the
neighbors and kinsmen and retrieved the body and the wounded son. The horse
thieves made their escape in the woods and was never seen again.
About 3 miles or less west of where this murder happened in Hancock Co.,
where Hiram England barely escaped getting killed, on the south side of
Clinch River Knobbs on the farm of James Kilgore, who had purchased 120
acres and was clearing a new ground of some large brush, Rebel
bushwhackers attached him and William
Lyon. Tom Edison and his gurellas attached them. As William and
Hiram England tried to escape norhtward up the Knobbs, William
was shot in the back and killed. Hiram England managed to crawl under
one of Kilgores huge brush piles. The rebels walked all over the brush
raming muskets with bayonets on the end barely missing Hiram England. He
was so afraid he said he was afraid they would hear his heart thumping and be
found. All this happend on October 20,
1864. The rebels stripped the body of William
Lyon and left. Hiram England finally went on across into Dry
Valley to Isom
Edens home, whose son David Edens had married William
Lyon's sister Lucille Ellen Lyon. The ladies went to pick up
William's body and he is buried there in the
Old
Cemetery with his 3 children. As the
ladies were gathering the body of William
Lyon one accidently stepped on his musket, which had slipped under the
brush. They gave it to William's father, Michael Mason Lyon. Then
Andrew Lyon received it after his death, then to Chris
Lyon, Eula Mae Lyon McNutt's father and upon his death Eula's
brother Elbert Lyon got it. As Elbert needed money to install water,
being crippled badly with limited income Eula Mae gave him the $400 he
needed to get his water installed and now she owns the old musket. (Eula died in
1999 and know who has that musket??)
