Her mother "Marsha was defamed and libeled in Fentress Co., TN, 1843. What happened may seem ludicrous in the 21st century, but in 1843, was very serious. Here's how it's detailed in Hogue's History of Fentress County, and recorded on p. 356 of the Minute Book, Circuit Court Record, Fentress County, June term of Court, 1843: [Nowhere is it stated that this was a flier distributed around town, but it may well have been!] "CAUTION. A witch of the most extraordinary power has made her appearance in Jamestown. She can, at a single touch, convert those who have lived without stain or blemish into the most consummate rogues and rascals. She can transform members of the church into liars, sorcerers and robbers of hen roosts. She can change her neighbors' geese into her own with a single touch of her all-powerful wand. She infects those who share her bed with an overstock of loathsome vermin. She fills those with whom she converses with false ideas of her neighbor's honesty. She can transform herself into a suitable mate for the masculine gender of the canine species, which she has fully tested by experiment. Unless she ceases the exercise of the diabolical art she shall feel the force of public opinion turned against her. (signed) A. Wizzard. "A. Wizzard" was soon identified as William M. Bledsoe; the State of Tennessee put him on trial for libel; he was found guilty, fined $25 and court costs. Then, Marsha and her husband, Hyram Millsaps, filed two damage suits against Bledsoe and Robert H. Macllvain, for circulating defamatory and libelous matter. The jury awarded the Millsaps $10,000 damages for each of these suits. Then Macllvain sued the Millsaps for $5000 damages for falsely charging him with mutilating the books in the Register's office, of which he had charge. The jury ruled in his favor. It seems that all the winners paid court costs and payment of the judgment was released. (What was this really about? Can't be sure, but it sounds like when Marsha said "NO" she meant it; A. Wizzard wasn't about to take "NO" for an answer so decided to ruin her!)" From; Searching for Buckeye Billy's Roots by Marilyn Mullinix Blanck (This information about Marsha begins on page 109.)
