I had a couple of ancestors in the MM Massacre. The legend is that they all swore an oath of secrecy. One of my grandfathers called his family around him before his death, held out his hands and told the," these old hands have never shed innocent blood". They never knew exactly what he meant by it because he was there at the massacre.
