I am at work and do not have any specific information with me but there is a family story about my relative Harvey
Looney shooting the sheriff Oscar Martin in southern
Virginia(New
Castle,
Giles County?) in the early half of the 1900's. I was told by family that
Looney escaped from jail but others told me there was a trail. I would love to have any information someone might have on this event. The only thing I have is an obit for Martin and family stories. Thanks.
