Carolyn…

This particular incident changed my grandfathers life, my uncle Edward and Elijah's family forever. Henry Davidson was a Marshall on duty of Hyden, Ky at the time and they were found guilty of murder and given life sentences. They served 8 years and was released. They moved a way and started a new life. My family has always felt that it was an injustice for two lawmen to go to prison while trying to do their job. However, many newspaper articles claimed it was a dispute settled by law and justice by only two men. Since Elijah Sizemore was Henry Davidson's son-in-law, this made it appear as a family dispute.
