Feud Between Gaffneys And Greens Ends In Double Deaths
A long running border feud between the Gaffneys and Greens escalated from a roadside confrontation to a cascade of killings. Abner Gaffney was shot on a May day after a dispute over an estray mule, followed by the murder of Scott Green days later. Subsequent killings included Charles Gaffney, Jasper Green, and George Gaffney, with arrests and occasional acquittals marking a county torn by violence. The feud drained families, dissolved churches, and left the county economically reckless as post offices and farms closed or burned, with vendetta continuing after the last victims.
