You didn't say WHY he killed her. They had arranged to meet and then elope. So what occurred that led to him changing from "run away together, live happily ever after" to "gotta kill her and hide the body"???? We need to investigate this murder correctly and professionally.

Tom Dula and the Foster girls were ALL cousins of mine. William Kendall/Kindall married Sarah Foster @ 1760. Their son James Benjamin Kindall (also in my line) married Mary "Polly" Dula who was the sister of Tom Dula's grandfather, Bennett. TRIVIA: Also, a grandson of James Benjamin Kindall (also a Kindall) married his 2nd cousin, Selena Dula, who was Tom Dula's sister. Selena and her husband moved soon after their marriage, along with most of the Kindall clan, to the state of Georgia. Note:. My grandfather changed our surname back to the original KE spelling. The family story is that William Kendall/Kindall changed the surname spelling when he went AWOL from the Revolutionary War....but I've been unable to verify his service in that war. He died in 1777 at the age of 37 and that's when his widow, Sarah (Foster) Kendall/Kindall, along with her 6 small children, a brother, and 2 or 3 sisters (all Fosters) moved from Orange County, Virginia to Wilkes County, NC. I live in Boise, Idaho.

Careful Tim, you just might be out of a job! ;) This series is of particular interest to me. When I was 12 (in 1972) my family got a dog. He lived until I was 25. Anyway, when we first got him as a puppy we were trying to figure out a name for him. Whilst brainstorming, we noticed that he walked around with his head hung low a lot. He continued this practice til his death, something we never figured out why, as he was not sad or anything, he just did. I digress. So, seeing the position of his head, we were immediately reminded of the old song, and thus he was named "Tom Dooley", or just "Dooley" for short heh heh. I miss that old dog :D

Colonel James Isbell and his father-in-law David Horton. Isbell was William Dula's grandson, His plantation included the Caldwell County farm where Laura lived with her father. Horton was on horseback due to his age of 74. Robert Isbell, son of James Isbell an his father noticed the horse back away from the spot where Laura was buried. They uncovered the narrow short grave an found Laura laying on her side face up, a bundle of clothes laid on her head. Dr. Carter was called over to look at the body, noting that her legs were folded back to fit in the grave (not broken) He stated a single knife wound between the 3rd and 4th rib probably priced her heart. Her body was taken to Cowles Store and formally identified by both Pauline and Wilson, who recognized Laura by the gap in her teeth and what was left of her clothes. The doctor treated Dula and Anne for syphilis, Dula blamed Laura for giving it to him. But the Dr. Treated Pauline first for it, indicating that Dula had sex with Pauline first then passed it to Anne and Laura later. Melton and Dula were captured during the war and sent to a northern prison camp. They were released after the war ended and returned home. Shortly after his return, Dula resumed his relationship with Anne. According to the census records, Ann married James Melton in 1859, three years before Tom Dula joined the Army. Anne Foster's mom caught Ann and Tom in bed together when he was 12 an she was 14 years old, so this was a long term relationship. Before Melton entered the picture. It's also noted that Tom entered the Army 3 months before his eighteenth birthday.

I've been to the gravesite .. read and learned a lot about the "story" .. Ann, it seems was not a very nice lady and let an innocent man go to his grave .. people should respect the gravesite as he was more than likely an innocent man. R.I.P. Mr. T. Dula

Tom didn’t do nothin’. Very definitely he didn’t kill Laura. No reason. She definitely had a knife wound, more likely the handiwork of a woman rather than the gun toting Tom who was too happy go lucky to kill a woman. Time for the state to declare his innocence.

I don't think Tom Dooly killed this ex-girlfriend. I think the older man she married had something to do with it, assisted and approved by that evil governor of N. Carolina at the time. Tom Dooly is now reincarnated back in this lifetime.

@@garymartin1040 I don't either. But those two men will receive their karma if not fully paid for what they did, and I think the old man who married Dooley's ex girlfriend hired someone to kill his wife...Dooley's ex, and blamed it on Dooley. Dooley looks like my cat...his left eye is kinda like the same, and when I played that song I had him sit on my lap, and when it got to the verse that talks about hang down his head, my kitty at the time would hang his head low and right now here and then it was confirmed to me and my husband that it was his soul incarnated into my cat...as a matter of fact, I always pray and ask for my pets' name, and when this kitty grew up, one day I prayed and asked, and the name Tom came to mind...I looked at him and I said ...'you don't look like a Tom.' and all of a sudden my husband said. 'it's Tom Dooley.' ...I right away turned to my KZitem channel..and there his story was...I felt goose bumps that confirmed to me that he was right...so I named him Tom Dooley but mainly 'Dooley.'
