Notes for Isaac Barton Everett:

The Killing of Jim Everett
by
Barton Everett
Before coming to Missouri, the family lived at or near Yellville, Arkansas. A small village at that time, which was named in honor of Archibald Yell, who was the first governor of Arkansas, from 1836 to 1840.
Their father, Isaac Everett, was of Scotch-Irish ancestry. His wife Nancy, was one half-blood Cherokee Indian. Four children were born of this marriage. The eldest, Mary Jane born 1836; Martha, born 1841; James M., born November 17, 1843; Barton Yell, born November 21, 1848.
At this time there was a "feudal" war between the people of northwest Arkansas, southern Missoui and southeast Kansas. This no doubt stemmed from the slavery question.
In September 1848, Isaac Everett was shot in the back and killed by a bushwhacker, while chopping wood in his front yard.
In 1859, the mother and family moved to Dadeville, Dade County, MO. Here, Uncle Jim and father (Barton Yell Everett, Sr.) started their business career. About 1868, the family moved to Forsyth, MO. They were engaged in farming on Swan Creek, and in 1873, Uncle Jim started a general merchandise and grocery store in Forsyth. He also had a saloon adjoing the grocery, on the southeast corner of the square. Father had a store on Bull Creek, just below the (now) Archie Hartzel farm.
In the autumn of 1883, father and Uncle Jim were building a grist mill in connection with the store on Bull Creek. It was necessary to construct a mill through which water would be carried from the stream above the store to furnish power for the mill. The had several men employed on the job. Some of these men lived in or near Forsyth. Their ususal conveyance was by horse back. On Saturday evening, September 22, 1883, two of this group had participated in a horse race. After arriving at Forsyth, some had entered the saloon for a drink and departed. Uncle Jim was at the bar when Al Layton came in. The two had a short drink together. At this time, Sam Hull entered and had drinks with Al. Both, no doubt had too many drinks. They started an arguement concerning the horse race, which had occurred up the road. They became quite loud and were on the verge of a fight. Jim asked them to go outside. Sam went out but Al was stubborn and in a quarrelsome mood. He and Uncle Jim got into a scuffle. Jim threw Al to the floor near the entrance to the door. At this momen, father arrived and asked, "What's the trouble, Jim"? Jim replied, "Al's mad and doesn't know what he's mad about". Father said, " If there is anything wrong we will make it right. Let him up, Jim". He said about this moment Charley Groom and Emmett Everett entered. Unlce Jim relaesed his hold and as Al arose, he drew a revolver from his hip pocket and shot Jim in the chest. He then shot at father hitting him in the left shoulder. Uncle Emmett and Charley stepped behind the open door to avoid being hit. Al leaped out the door and ran for his horse which was tied at the southeast corner of the square. The army pistol father carried had to be cocked by hand. His left arm being crippled, he was unable to fire until Al was running for his horse. This he did, but he missed.
Uncle Jim died within seconds after he was shot. A; escaped but was later brought to trial , but was acquitted and relaesed. The court action was in line with the procedure of justice at that time. The county was overrun with criminals and apparently the law was afraid to meet justice for fear of revenge.
It was such prevailing conditions that was responsible for the organizing of the" Vigilante Committee", or, as it was later caled "The Bald Knobbers".

I.B. Everett's father may have been Samuel and Samuel's father may have been Richard.
