Greene–Jones War
The Greene–Jones War was an ongoing Appalachian Mountain clan feud in the United States reputed to be second only to that of the Hatfield–McCoy feud in scale, duration, and number of persons killed. At least sixteen people, including one child, were killed during the course of the feud, and many others were seriously injured. The feud took place primarily in the border areas of Hawkins County (formerly part of Sullivan County, North Carolina, one of the earliest Tennessee counties and said to have a large Melungeon population), Washington County, Claiborne County, Hancock County, Tennessee (created when Hawkins County, Tennessee was subdivided), and Lee County, Virginia, not far from Cumberland Gap, the narrow Appalachian Mountain pass sometimes called The Wilderness Road leading into Kentucky.
Flann mac Áedo
In 712 the feud among the Síl nÁedo Sláine was intensified when Flann defeated and slew Maine mac Néill of Uí Chernaig. In 714 Flann fought the Battle of Bile Tened (near Moynalty with the Clann Cholmáin led by Murchad Midi (died 715). In the first encounter two brothers of Murchad were slain, but, in the second encounter, Flann himself was slain.
