• Notes

  Did not marry. Murdered by ____ Hoodenpyle. David Hoodenpyle offered the following: I have always heard that "Jesse Hoodenpyle" killed Pat Layne in Daus Tennessee. Here is the story as told by Ratus Mosley, who is retired on Signal Mtn. I just don't which Jesse? A sitting judge in McMinnville told me that that he had read about a Jessee Hoodenpyle that was hanged in his jurisdiction for murder of a Layne. So, there must be some unread history waiting to be told. My grandfather was Jesse and lived to be an old man 1857 - abt 1950. One of his sons from his first wife was a Jesse Jr. If I were to guess, this could be the one, although there are other Jesses as well. The story as told from Ratus Mosley: Jesse was selling some moonshine to Pat on the Hoodenpyle barn in the Daus community. The moonshine was made in an old mine on the mountain and was later carried to the farm for storage. An argument followed, (they had probably been drinking), over selling more brew to Pat which Jesse refused to do. Pat had started to walk down the railroad tracks but returned. After arguing some more, Jesse killed Pat with a gun. The Moseleys bought the farm in later years where Ratus was shown the bloodstain by his dad. It was still visible in the barn. Jesse was later hanged in McMinnville, Tennessee for murder.
