...
John Lewis murdered Naomi Wise, and Dylan sings about him on the
Minnesota tape in the song named after the woman he killed.

According to Digital Tradition (the folk lyric database) :

        In 1808, in Randolph County NC, Johnathan Lewis murdered Naomi
        Wise, who he had gotten with child and promised to marry. Lewis
        escaped before conviction.
