Son of James Milton Blackwood and Mary BROOKS Blackwood
KILLED BY BUSHWACKERS WITH HIS BROTHER WILLIAM
As told in "Ozark Cousins" book by Bud Phillips...
"The Murder of the Blackwood Brothers [James Milton Blackwood's sons]:
James and John Blackwood were working together in a field near Cowell [Newton County, Arkansas] sometime during the Civil War when bushwhackers came upon them. One was shot down there in the field. The other attempted to flee but was shot from the top of a rail fence over which he was climbing. I believe that both these brothers are buried at Cowell."
