My father also had our lineage traced with the same conclusions. It seems there have been Eppes/ Epps ancestors attending almost all the most important events in American history including Lee’s surrender to Grant (Eppes) and the bombing of Pearl Harbor (Epps onboard the USS Alabama).

I remember the murders and all the tales that were spun from this event. Many years later, I work for the telephone company. The phone lines were behind their farm house in the woods. Often we had to get access to the woods by driving thru a farm road next to the house. Phones line problems were often in that area, and the Hyatts had phone troubles as well. I got to know Viola through working on their phone line. Viola was a sweet lady. Often offering me a coke on hot summer days. No one has mentioned that Viola was mentally a simple person. I am not sure how to describe it, but her mental capacity was not up to full scale. She did not exhibit the ability to commit the gruesome murders. Perhaps if she were defending her Father, she could have done the murders. But someone else did the butchering and scattering of the bodies. She could have helped, I don’t know. But from by observations –she did not know how to drive. Didn’t have a drivers license. I don’t have any proof of any of this, but I dislike all the sensationalized accusations about Viola, whom from what I have known was a victim of circumstances. She was a nice lady and I think authorities at the Tutwiller prison could also vouch for that statement as well.

I’m glad you children can use this effort to tell about the ancient name of Epps. Is you Epps line from the Lincoln Tennessee Epps clan?

My grandfather passed away in 2012. I am the oldest male left with the last name
Epps in my family. I’m so glad this website was available to show my children where exactly where their last name originated. The information on this website will be a great help when they continue to learn their family history.
