I am writing a history of the feud that took place between the Jones, McGhee and Howard families in Monroe, Blount, and Knox counties. My effort is to present an objective account, giving the benefit of the doubt to all sides rather than seeking to present the participants as "good guys" or "bad guys." I am also interested in the genealogy of the McGhees and Jones families, which include the families of Aylette (Aylet/Aylett), White (beginning with James White of Knoxville), Moore (Bernard Moore), and Spottswood (also Spotiswood).
