On July 26, 1863 Alfred Greene was informed that his wife had just given birth and decided to visit his wife and newborn child. Three members of the Jones’s who were Union sympathizers anticipating that Alfred Greene would return home waited in ambush.
He was able to make his way undetected into his house. When the Jones’s saw that Alfred Greene was in his house they started shooting. In order to draw fire away from his family Alfred grabbed his rifle and ran towards the smokehouse for cover. He was shot multiple times in the chest and immediately died of his wounds.
The Greene-Jones
War was the second largest feud in
The feud lasted about 35 years and during this time approximately 30 men and
1 youth was killed.
Ila Lamb-Grable said that her mother Lucy Givens-Lamb told her the following about Lincoln Greene who was married to Dorcas Lamb and participated in the feud:
1. While he was a kind and gentle man she was always afraid of him because he had notches on his pistol.
2. During the Greene-Jones War Lincoln Greene dressed as a woman to pass through the Jones’s to obtain supplies.
