Collin,

Daniel Ellis tracked one of the men who killed my ancestor into North Carolina. He was after him for another killing of a friend of his. This according to family folklore. Ellis would find and kill him near Morganton NC, some 75 miles behind Confederate lines. I wish all the other murders would have meet the same fate. I salute the shade of the "Red Fox."

One Joseph Franklin, a friend of Daniel Ellis would guide US troops on a raid at the trainig facilities near Camp Vance, about this time. Franklin was said to be a leader of the Heroes of America or the Red Strings.
