According to Jesse Wilson's book "When they Hanged the Fiddler,"Thomas Begley and Isaac Callahan (the fiddler) were hanged for the killing of David Newberry, the son of Bethia Brannon-Begley and her husband Samuel Newberry.Bethia was the daughter of Elizabeth Pearsall who married Henry Begley after the death of her first husband, Mr.Brannon.The killing happened in Clay County, near the mouth of RedBird not far from the Clay/Leslie County line.Achilles Gibson, who was also involved in the killing, (and who was married to Mahala Begley) escaped hanging by testifying for the prosecution.
