Your posting is very interesting. I haven't seen this murder mystery before. Google Books is a wonderful thing. I just love the old book they have digitized.
The Durrett Oliver of Orange Co., Va was a brother to Nikerson Oliver (many diff spellings). They were sons of Nickerson Oliver (diff spellings as well) of Caroline Co., VA. Yes, they both had sons named Achillis/killis Oliver.
I love this mystery and the possibilities you mention in Smith Co., TN, but I haven't researched that line of family. My line is from Durrett Oliver through his son, Caleb Oliver, my 4th and 5th great-grandfather. Please keep this forum posted on any further evidence on this mystery.
