  • Joseph Alexander Mabry Sr. (1826 – October 19, 1882) was a folk figure, businessman and Confederate general during the American Civil War. The gunfight which left Joseph, his son, Joseph Jr, and Thomas O'Conner dead was immortalized in Mark Twain's book, Life on the Mississippi. Thomas O'Conner was a bank president and one of the richest men in Tennessee. Following a business dispute, Joseph Mabry, Sr, a wealthy (and eccentric) businessman, threatened his life. The next day, O'Conner shot him dead on Gay Street in Knoxville. The victim's son, lawyer Joseph Mabry, Jr. , was nearby. He and O'Conner became involved in a gunfight which left them both dead. Twain, intrigued by the story, recalled the event in Chapter 40 of his book, Life on The Mississppi. Today the Mabry-Hazen House is one of Knoxville's historic attractions. Joseph Alexander Mabry, Sr. and William Swan donated the land for the downtown Market Square to the City of Knoxville in 1853.
