About Mary Stegall
From http://www.webstercountyky.com/history/harps.php
From McBee's cabin they [the Harpe Brothers] traveled about four miles to the cabin of Moses Stegall. Stegall was not home. The cabin was occupied by Mrs Stegall, her child, and a Major William Love. Love was a surveyor who had come to see Stegall on business. As was the custom at the time, the Harps were invited to spend the night. The Harp brothers and Love were to sleep in the loft of the cabin. During the night, one of the Harps killed Major Love, supposedly for snoring and keeping them awake. The next morning, they killed Mrs Stegall and her child and set fire to the cabin. The cabin site is roughly on the Hopkins-Webster County line and east of Ky Hwy 630.
