While returning home from the Civil War Jessie and his brother William were killed by bushwhakers near the Buffalo River.
The Confederate author and veteran Joseph M. Bailey wrote that the Atchley brothers, Jessie T. and William N. were southerner sympathizers that took no active part in the fighting. They were taken from their homes and murdered by "Mountain Federals" in front of their families.
