DEATH: A report on the death of Daniel Epley. The BOLIVAR WEEKLY COURIER: December 22, 1860, page 2 column 1: "On the 13th inst. a difficulty occurred between O. F. Hall and Wm. Thompson at Black Oak Point, in which the latter struck the former which caused him to procure a warrant, and Mr. Daniel Epley was deputized to arrest him, and whilst performing this duty, Thompson stabbed him with a knife eighteen inches long which resulted in his death on the following morning. Thompson is now in custody and undoubtedly will be dealt with by law as he justly deserves, and his fate cannot be too severe, for he has robbed the life of one of our oldest and most respectable citizens. The life that he has so brutally destroyed is worth more than all the vagrant striplings in the universe." Given to me by John W. Epley; P.O. Box 212 807 Thayer Street, Plymouth, Indiana 46563. Descendent of Peter Epley.
MARRIAGE DATE-SPOUSE-PARENT-SIBLINGS: source from Greene County, Tenn. Marriages 1783-1868. FHL book 976.891 V2b In the entry for Sally Brown's marriage to Daniel Epley it lists a Thomas G. Brown who is probably her father or brother. Also there is a marriage entry for a Samuel Yeates marrying Delila Brown on August 22, 1826 where Daniel Epley is the witness. I think Delila is probably Sallie's sister.
