Notes:

Newspaper articles from Morgan Co. KY sent by Gary Whitaker document that Dock was shot around 9 Sep 1904 in West Liberty, KY by Nelson Bishop, a deputy constable, who was arresting him. The shooting took place at the Lee Caskey home near Hazel Green. Dock was shot in his spine and died from his wounds around 12 October 1904. The deputy was arrested and convicted for Dock's death in April, 1908. He was sentenced to two years in the state penitentiary for voluntary manslaughter. Governor Wilson pardoned Nelson Bishop in April, 1909.

Family lore says Dock was in KY on moonshine business for Bill Whitaker.
