One day early in the spring of 1868 Elijah Clark, a Peacock man, called on Hester  Anne Dixon to invite her to go with him to a dance. She refused him. In his frustration  and disappointment, he ran out of the house without bis gun which he had left on a table.  He met Hester Anne's brother, 16-year-old Billy Dixon, a Lee man, Elijah grabbed Billy's gun and shot at him, Billy ran in the house, grabbed Elijah s gun and ran out of the house  and shot Elijah off his horse, dead. 
    In less than a month, Billy Dixon met death on the Jefferson Road. He was on the  way to Jefferson with a load of cotton when about 20 miles from home the wagon  broke down. His cousin, Charlie Dixon, was with him. They were repairing the wagon  when suddenly a dozen men appeared and surrounded them. They told Billy to march  ten paces with hands up, Five paces, six, seven; a single bullet split the air and Billy slumped in his tracks.
