I own acreage on Nolensville Pike, just north of the old town of Nolensville-approximately 1 mile where Snake Creek meets Mill Creek. In front of my property that was owned by the Kidd Family in the 1800s, it used to be a toll road, and the money was collected there. William N. Haley was traveling on the toll road Februrary 10, 1864, and just south of Snake Creek and the Toll Booth he witness a cruel abuse and a murderer that occured when two union soldier's was passing a citizen that was just traveling thru the area. The soldier demanded several thing from the man, the man stayed calm and polite, after cursing the man several times, the union soldier didn't make the man mad-he pulled his service revolver and killed the man. He took the man's money after he died, and left the dead body on the road. William N. Haley and the people of Nolensville, Tenn. was furious of the heinous crime that occured in open daytime, in front of witness, and the soldiers made a joke about their crime. The high ranking soldiers in Nashville, Tennessee was notified of this crime, but was not heeded at all. Nothing was done to this killer, and after the war-he went back North where he came before the war. Gerald Barnell Fowler
