�1920's HOPSCOTCH AND DOUBLE DUTCH
Memories can make us happy and at the same time, very sad. When one is
elderly, we seem to cherish both happy and sad memories alike. There are
happy memories of years gone by, things we did as a child, things we did with
our parents, followed by the joyful times with our children and their father as we
watched the children grow up and wondered how we had grown so old.
Remembering those years, I think about all the other people close to my age who
have similar memories and wish we could share them with each other. One of
my fondest memories as a child is of the happy, carefree days of summer
evenings in Roanoke when after supper, the neighborhood children gathered on
the sidewalks in front of their houses to play. Our parents were sitting on their
front porch, visiting with neighbors and sipping sweetened ice tea. We felt loved
and safe with Mother and Dad watching over us.
We rode our tricycles, skated, played hide-and-seek, and played tag, always
"counting out" to see who would have to be "it" for the first game. We played
hopscotch drawn in chalk in front of someone's house. In the cool evening, we
could be heard chanting to the rhythm of a turning rope. Jumping rope was my
favorite! I remember dozens of the limericks we chanted , jumping to the rhythm
of the rhyme.
Who will I Marry?
Rich man, poor man,
Beggar man, thief,
Doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief,
Tinker, Tailor, soldier boy, sailor!
When you missed the rope during the limerick, the word you last chanted was
destined to be your mate!

�We learned to jump rope very quickly while two children turned it faster and
faster with:
Mable, Mable, set the table
Don't forget the vinegar,
Mustard, salt and pepper!
Each time the word "pepper" was chanted, the rope was turned as fast as the two
children could manage. Your turn at jumping ended when you missed the rope.

Teddy Bear
Teddy Bear, Teddy
Teddy Bear, Teddy
Teddy Bear, Teddy
Teddy Bear, Teddy

Bear, touch the ground, ground, ground
Bear, turn around , 'round, 'round
Bear, show your shoe, shoe, shoe
Bear, how old are you?

The "Teddy Bear" chant now required you to jump your age and then "run out" so
the next person could have a turn .
All this could go on for hours, changing rhymes or limericks when we grew tired
of one and agreed on another. These are such pleasant memories of years past!
Now, at nearly 90 years old, I go for rides to these old neighborhoods and I am
saddened by how it has all changed . The growth of the area and the removal of
many proud and beautiful buildings make it hard to recognize what was once a
familiar neighborhood, if the place can be found at all. I realize how much I have
seen and experienced in my life. I miss my husband, family and friends, now
long passed. But no matter what the future brings, I know that the children of
today will continue to play games with their friends and create wonderful
memories just like those that are so precious to me and that make me so happy
and sad all at the same time.

�New Book by Max S. Thomas

A new book by Max S. Thomas is just off the press. Titled THIS PLEASANT
LAND: A Blue Ridge History, it is being published posthumously by Harvestwood Press.
The author's daughter, Jean Thomas Schaeffer, has served as editor, compiler, and
publisher of the book.
This Pleasant Land is a 250-year chronological history of the border areas of
Floyd , Franklin, and Patrick Counties in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwestern
Virginia . The book covers an area reaching out from the epicenter where the author
lived by the Blue Ridge Parkway, about fifteen miles in all directions. In the book, the
author also describes going with his father in a wagon to Roanoke to sell farm-grown
products at the downtown Market.
The book is a local history but it is written within the context of what was
happening in the outside world during the 1sth, 19th, and 20th centuries. The paperback
book has about 200 pages and begins with the first settlers coming to the area. The
book goes on to explain how certain events impacted the local people - events such as
the American Civil War and Reconstruction, the American chestnut blight, the Great
Depression, the building of the Blue Ridge Parkway, and World War I and II.
The last half of the book is a collection of the author's earlier writings on a variety
of topics such as early music, the language of the area, early roads, the mountain
economy, country stores, old-time tools, fences, foraging , early marriages, women and
their lives, photography, weather, geology, critters and maladies that caused problems,
passing on, old-time medicine, and communicable diseases. One chapter tells about
Sparrel Tyler Turner who represented the area in the Virginia House of Delegates and
the Virginia State Senate. The book has twenty photographs, including a picture of
Turner.
Speaking about the manuscript he wrote, Max Thomas said , "I am a fifthgeneration descendant of the first settlers in this part of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I
have lived all of my life on the same piece of land on a high plateau on the FloydFranklin County line in southwestern Virginia. Since I was a boy, I have been told
stories about my ancestors and their neighbors, men anp women who came to and lived
in a pleasant and rugged land during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. No
matter who told the stories, they were always the same. It is also my story, for I was
born in 1908 and witnessed events through most of the twentieth century, including the
building of the Blue Ridge Parkway in the 1930s.... So in 1997 at age 89, I began
writing this history in longhand."
Jean Schaeffer has this to say about her father's book: "In publishing my father's
book, I have made every effort to be true to his writing and intent. He wanted people to
kn ow about the Appalachian heritage of this area, and he wanted them to understand
the local history within the context of what was going on in the outside world. He knew
what he had to tell was extraordinary. His was a generation that served as a bridge,
beginning with the most basic way of life typical of the nineteenth century and evolving
into the modern technological age of the late twentieth century. He was a farmer and

�school teacher. Having lived on the same piece of land for almost ninety-three years,
he was drawn to it in a way that a native will understand. Beyond that, he wanted to
know all he could and studied about the area the way a scientist or historian studies.
He learned from his grandparents and other people, he learned from books, and he
learned from his own observations about the natural environment. He knew first-hand
about the land and its people and he wrote about them continually. He was interested
in everything and was blessed with an excellent memory throughout his life. He was a
deep and divergent thinker, and he wrote this history the way he thought and talked like a conversation he might have had with a visitor on his back porch."
More information about this book is available at www.HarvestwoodPress.com, by
e-mailing info@HarvestwoodPress.com, or by phoning (540) 745-3173. The book's
ISBN is 978-0-9703758-2-7. This is the author's second book. His first, Walnut Knob,
was first published in 1977 and is a collection of songs and stories of the area. Its
copyright was renewed in 2005 but, after three printings, Walnut Knob is once more out
of print.

As the final Editor of Virginia Appalachian Notes, I would
like to reserve the privilege of dedicating this last issue to
my mother, Lois Rice Blankenship. She first taught me the
Bove of reading, then she taught me the love of research.
Although she invested thousands of hours in researching
her own genealogy, she always had time to help others fiV»d
their own family roots. I know she is rejoicing in heaven
with all those she knew so intimately from her research.

Dear Fellow Members,
Well, this will be the last President's letter that I write. It's hard to know what to say. I
am sorry that the executive board voted to suspend the operations of the society but
there was no other choice. It is my hope that some interested people will step forward
and restart the society. For the present we plan to maintain the bank account and
continue to pay the yearly state corporate fee to keep our corporate status. Who knows
what the future may hold.
Our intrepid VAN editor has somehow managed to copy the rest of Charles T. Burton's
Botetourt County Death Records book two pages to one page for the final issue of
the VAN. And it's readable!!! However, there are too many pages to print as one issue.
Consequently, the final issue will be split in two, this being the first issue with a
supplemental issue to follow on its heels. We felt it was important to finish this book
that we started some years ago. Hopefully, you won't mind that there is no other
material in this issue.
Finally, the Burton book sale was a success, in my opinion. We sold 16 books to
members all across the country. I was happy to see that members outside the Roanoke

Dear Fellow Members,
Where does the time go .....Summer is over and fall is here. With yard w ork w inding
down I will have the opportunity to get back to business with my research . I have new
data to enter. A friend here in Roanoke is from my hometown and, at one time, we
attended the same church. Many of our Germany ancestors w ere active in this church .
During a visit home my friend digitally photographed many of the pages of the old
church registers. He looked for both his surnames and mine. This yielded some new
information including marriage dates and full names of spouses.
Another exciting thing that happened was making contact w ith a direct line cousin in
Australia . His ancestor is a sister of my great-grandfather. I recently purchased a
netbook computer (VERY small, lightweight laptop) that came w ith the program Skype
installed. This program allows you talk over the Internet, computer to computer, as if
you were using the phone. If you have a camera installed on both computers you can
also see the person you are talking to. My cousin had Skype so we set up a time to
call. It was amazing!! He sounded like he was in the next room. In fact, my husband
who was several rooms away could clearly hear him, too. Best of all , the service is
free!! This type of technology has certainly come a long way. Visit www.skype.com for
a free download and instructions on how to use it.
Any member who has interests in Botetourt County should turn to page 116 straight
away. We are offering a special , one time only, chance to own copies of Charles
Burton's Botetourt County research books. Copies MUST be ordered by November 10.
Happy Hunting,

The New Yor k Times, June 21, 1854
Supposed Murder of a Young Lady by her Betrothed
From the Lynchburg (Va.) Republican
It will be remembered, that some time during last Spring, an item
went the rounds of the papers, chronicling the sudden death of Miss
Agnes Pharr, of Covington, Va. , and stating that she was within a
few days of her marriage to one Dr. Thompson [27 year old Wil liam
B . Thompson originally from Botetourt , County ], h er father's
physician. We learn from a private source, that i t is strongly
suspected that her death was caused by strychnine administered by
Dr. T.; that several public meetings of the citizens have been held
to consider the matter. The circumstances seem to be these: Miss
Pharr had been indisposed for some weeks, and had been taking
medicine from Dr . Thompson. On the morning of her dea t h, Dr . T.
wrote her a note, asking a postponement of her marriage, and urging
her to take the remainder of the pills he had left her. Among the
pills there seems to have been one considerably larger than the
others, and this was the only one le ft , Mis s Pharr having refused
to take it. Upon this last request, she took i t , and in fifteen
minutes was a corpse. Her death was pronou nced , at the time,
similar to that produced by strychnine, but there was no suspicion

discovered certain signs, which were more than confirmed by the
further discovery of a box of ergot pills. When the suspicions
a~s1:1111ed a public character, Dr. Thompson demanded that the body be
disinterred and examined by a committee of physicians, named by
himself; but when the consent of the parents of the unfortunate
girl was obtained, he refused to have anything to do with it,
alleging as a reason that he did not wish to wound the feelings of
the family . These are the facts as they have been detailed to us by
two gentlemen of standing. If they be true, there is certainly good
ground for demanding an investigation. If Dr. Thompson be guilty,
no time should be lost in ridding the world of this monster; if
innocent, his character as a man will be satisfied with nothing
less than a full, free and triumphant acquittal . The father of Miss
Pharr is a Presbyterian minister, and is said to be one of the most
upright , amiable, and unsuspicious persons to be found anywhere.

A Case of Supposed Murder of a Young Woman by her Betrothed

From the Petersburgh (Va .) Intelligencer, Aug. 4
Post Mortem Examination - A Lexington correspondent furnishes to
yesterday's Richmond Dispatch the following account of the
proceedings of several physicians who were required to hold a post
mortem examination upon the body of a Miss Pharr, a young lady
residing in covington, Va., who died some time since under
mysterious circumstances:
Drs. Jordan and Estill, and Major Gilham, Professor of Chemistry in
the Military Institute, returned to this place last night from
Covington, where they had gone for the purpose of attending a post
mortem examination of Miss Pharr, whose death took place in the
month of March last. Rumors had been rife in the community, and had
found their way to the public prints, that she came to her death by
foul means at the hands of her physician, Dr . Thompson, to whom she
was said to be engaged. These [rumors] had become so common, that
Dr. T., in order to vindicate himself, instituted suits against
several prominent citizens of Covington, for slander, laying his
damages at a high amount. The defendants, in order to relieve
themselves, determined upon an examination, and at their instance
(insistence] the coroner summons a jury of inquest, and several
physicians from a distance were invited to be present , on Saturday
las t, the time fixed for the inquest, of whom, Drs. Jordan and
Estill of this place, and Dr . Woodson of Fincastle, (the latter at
the instance of Dr. T.,) were in attendance. Major Gilham was also
present to submit to a chemical analysis of the stomach .
On Saturday morning they repaired to the place of burial and too k
up the body, which was recognized by several witnesses , and
conveyed to a room near at hand. All were required to leav e the

�Page 110

room except the physicians and Major G., though Dr. T. is said to
have done so with great reluctance. The body, though somewhat
decayed and very much blackened, was still in a remarkable state of
preservation. Upon examination she was discovered to have been
inciente [enceinte: pregnant] , as had been suspected. They next
examined and found the stomach to be entire. It was taken out and
placed in the possession of Major Gilham, who will leave here in a
day or two for some of the Northern cities, in order to have the
assistance of experienced chemist in submitting i t to the chemical
tests. It is very doubtful whether they will be able to discover
anything, as strychnine, the agent supposed to have been used,
diffuses itself very rapidly through the system, and is very
difficult to detect at any time, and much more so after four or
five months have elapsed.
After completing the examination they repaired to the hotel, where,
after consultation,
they
communicated
the
result
of
the
investigation to William Skeen,
Esq.,
the Attorney for the
Commonwealth and Thompson's counsel in the slander suits, who
immediately had a warrant issued and Dr . T., taken into custody .
The Jury then met in the Court-House, and after hearing the
testimony of the physicians and other witnesses, adjourned until
this morning. A crowd was in attendance, and manifested great
interest in the proceedings. Dr. T. manifested considerable anxiety
during the examination, but appeared perfectly composed after his
arrest.
Such are the facts as I gathered them from those who were present.
Whether he be guilty or not remains to be determined. If he be
guilty of what is alleged against him, he has upon his head the
most horrible crimes that can be conceived - seduction and double
murder; the seduction and murder of his betrothed, and the murder
of his own unborn offspring. Of his guilt or innocence we express
no opinion, as it would be improper, the matter having to undergo
judicial investigation. We can scarcely believe, however, that any
human being can be guilty of crimes of such enorrni ty as are laid at
his door .

Tria 1 of Dr. Thompson

From the Richmond Whig, 29th
The Term of Al l eghany County Court, which commenced Monday last, is
now hearing and reviewing the evidence upon the c ha rge against Dr.
William Bo Thompson, of Covington, for the murder of Miss Agnes
Pharr, of the same town, in March last, by giving her strychnine.
The circumstances which led to the arrest of Dr . Thompson were
given through the papers at the time it was made. A large number of
witnesses were sworn, and among them Drs. Jordan and Estill, of

�Page 111

Lexington, and Dr. Woodson, of Botetourte, physicians who made the
post- mortem examination, and Maj . Gilliam, Professor of Chemistry
at Virginia Military Institute, who made analysi s of the stomach of
the deceased, and its contents . The examination of witnesses has
been very full and lengthy, and .especially was it so in regard to
the physicians and Maj . Gilliam, whose testimony has leading weight
i n the case.
It is expected that the trial will consume the entire week, as i t
is probable lengthy arguments will be delivered.
During the progress thus far there have been evidences on the part
of all who witnessed the proceedings of the deepest sympathy for
the friends of the deceased. There were many spectators from a
distance.

and respectable meeting of the citizens of Alleghany county,
Virginia, held on the 18th instant, for the purpose of expressing
their indignation at the acquittal of Thompson ,
the alleged
murderer of Miss Pharr . There was quite a serious riot on the
occasion , as appears from the Era :
«At ten o'clock the people quietly hung Dr. Thompso n in effigy . The
image hung unmolested until the people went into the court-house to
attend the indignation meeting . Whilst there, Robert B . Thompson
backed by Messrs. Bush, Neff, Waldron and others , attempted to, or
did, pull down the effigy. The people rushed out of the courthouse, and a scene of intense excitement ensued. The friends of
Thompson drew their revolvers and bowie knives, but, deeming
discretion the better part of valor, they finally broke and fled ,
pursued by the excited populace. Waldron , however, having r un into
a field, turned upon his pursuers and showed fight, when he was
knocked down, and mounted upon a rail, and thus carried into the
court-house. The friends of Thompson were bound over to ke e p the
peace , and the effigy was subsequently burnt."
Further Info rmation:

The house where the supposed murder occurred still stands and is on
the National Register of Historic Places as the oldest house in
Covington. It was built in 1800 by Dr. James Merry, a physician,
who also operated a store near the river which was called ''Merry's
Stand." The house has a stone foundation and is a log structure of
solid walnut which has been stuccoed.
Rev . Dion Cassius Pharr was born in Mecklenburg County , North
Carolina on February 25, 1800 . He ministered in the Presbyterian
Church for 23 years . Before the acquittal of Dr. Thompson, Rev.
Pharr died of typhoid fever on November 20, 1854. The death record
lists his age as 54 years, nine months. [Allegheny Co. Death
Records, 1854, line 47.]

COMPANY F, SECOND REG. VA RESERVES
Eileen Bolger has graciously supplied the following article.
Times Register - September 30, 1915
E ditor's note - The following interesting history of Salem men composing Co. F . Second
Reg. VA Reserves, written by the Rev. Calvin S. Blackwell, D.D. LL .D. distinguished
Baptist preacher of Norfolk and a native of Roanoke County.
T here were eighty-one in the Company when we were called out and organized in Salem,
March 12, 1864. Five of these names I cannot recall. The late Pleasant Mills, keeper of the
Cemetery at Roanoke, assisted me very greatly in connecting the roll, he having remained
in the county, kept up with the men while I have been away for forty-two years.
At one time I could call the roll in the dark from memory, as well as from the roll book.
But forty-two years are apt to dim the memory somewhat. This is the best I can do. The
late Col. Guy of Richmond showed me a complete roll some twenty years ago. But since his
death I have been unable to get any information from persons having his effects in char ge.
March 22, 1864, the law calling out the last reserves of the youth, sixteen to eighteen boys
and fifty-five to sixty men "the cradle and grave fellows" brought th e company together at
Salem, VA. The notice and the law being read by an official of the C.S.A. and the
following list of names were recorded as present. We were assem bled in the five-acre ho rse
lot of Dr. Griffin, south side of the rock road west end of the town. We were given the
privi.l ege of electing our own officers. The elected offic~rs, as given below, a happy mixture
of old men and boys. The second Lieut. S. Lee, mentioned, had served in the War with
Mexico. None of the others had seen service. We were per mitted to return to our homes
subject to call, which came in a few days, April 1. Federal fo r ce was str iking for the
railroad at Salem or Christiansburg. We were armed and put under the general command
of Col. Preston of Montgomery and marched through rain to Hanging Rock and went into

camp.
Our chief duty was to obstruct the road fro m the north by cutting trees across it and
arranging breastworks of logs. Col. Preston being an old military officer , our drill was
after that style. While Col. Preston was nominally in command, M ajor Sweeney, a gallant
Confederate officer on wounded furlough a nd r esting at Salem took actual command of the
defense. He inspired the boys with enthusiasm and the led men with confidence. On the
second day of the defense a dashing stripling d ressed in full uniform of a V.M.I. cadet rode
into camp. It was Wingfield (Rough) Griffin. The call of the camp was too much for him
in the quiet of the schoolroom when bis native town was in danger. He took " French" leave
of the " West Point of the South" and sought the field of action, remembering how only the
yea r before Salem bad been raided by the Federals, one of his neighbors, Ca pt. Chapman
was killed, his family taunted, and the property of the citizens destroyed. H e being
mounted witb a few others was sent forward in to C raig to feel for the enemy, and n ot
finding any blue coats returned. Being fresh from the drill grounds of the V.M.I. Cadet

Gr_iffin be~ame a very important personage in the company, as driJlmaster at the campus
of instruction at Lynchburg, Richmond, South Anna and elsewhere. He was unusually
popular among the old and young and did much to hammer them into military shape. His
heart was in the Cavalry service where he served with distinction until the surrender. The
enemy not appearing, we were ordered to Lynchburg and put into camp of instruction.
May 1st the company was ordered to Richmond, where at Camp Lee we were again put
under instruction and organized into the Second Regiment VA Reserves. On May IO'h we
were put forward a few miles towards Yellow Tavern but did not get into the fight. On
June 2°d, the Regiment marched to the Chickahominy Bridge on the York River Railroad
and placed to the extreme right of Lee's army during the second battle of Cold Harbor.
General J. L. Kemper was in command of the reserves. Col. John Guy and Major Cook in
command of the Second Regiment. The Federals were on the north side of the river and
put us under a heavy shellfire, our first experience of the kind. After the battle of Cold
Harbor Lee's whole army started on its march southward and toward the James and
Petersburg. Our company lay in the pines by the road along which passed the whole of
Lee's army of veterans. It was an inspiring sight for our boys all the days of June 12the
and 13th, 1864, the steady tramp was heard and their battle torn banners were seen by us.
On June 15th we were taken to Richmond and assigned to duty on Belle Isle to guard
Federal prisoners. A week later we were assigned to South Anna Bridge and fortified and
guarded the bridge against a second attOack which was threatened. July 2o•h we were
moved near to Deep Bottom. Hancock's Corps of Federals were malting a movement north
of the James with Butler as a feint preparatory to exploding the crater mine near
Petersburg, which took place on July 3o•h. Though north of the James, the shock was
beard and felt by us. On August 161h Hancock was again in front of us at Deep Bottom.
We remained in camp at Signal Hill just above the Dutch Gap where butler was cutting the
Gap day and night while our battery at the Howlett House kept up a constant fire. But
unable to reach the battery would take revenge by having the guns in gunboats shell us on
the north side. Not until September 28th did this get lively. Warren's Corps made an
attack on Forth Harrison near Chaffin Farm. We were not in the fort but in a line of
works northeast. The fort was taken in the morning, our line was fiercely assaulted in the
afternoon and the enemy repulsed with great slaughter. The next day September 30'h,
General Lee himself came to the north side to direct a vain effort to retake Fo1·t Har1·ison.
A terrific artillery fire was opened from the gunboats, Drury's Bluff and Chafin's Farm.
We were laying in the ditches and behind us a battery of six guns. It was drizzling rain. At
every discharge of the guns, great volumes of powder smoke wouJd pour out on us, so that
the three o'clock every man was black as powder. Just then General Lee quietly remarked,
"Lie down again boys, some of you might get hurt." Just then a shell exploded near by and
killed several of the gunners in the artillery and we got back in the ditch again. Through
the fall and winter 1864-65, we remained in the works at Cbafin's Farm. We were a part of
that attenuated line forty miles long held by Lee's 37,000 men and boys, half-clothed, halffed and poorly equipped. February z nd we were brought t o Richmond. The veterans
regiments were most reduced to not much over a hundred fighting men and Reserves were
well seasoned and so they were broken up and given the privilege of uniting with such
regiments as they might choose. Quite a body of Company F. was united with Company E.
36tt' VA Regiment and sent on a march to Lynchburg to protect it against Sheridan.

surrendered and E chol's army of 4,000 disbanded.
After our first call to Hanging Rock and before we went east to the real seat of war, quite a

us after we left Roanoke County.

Charles T . Burton
Charles T. Burton, who lived in the Daleville Community in the County of Botetourt, Virginia
was a man who may have known more about places and people in early Botetourt County than
any other person of recent times. Mr. Burton was a well-known genealogist who spent years
checking faded and yellowed deeds, tracing the lineage of fan1ilies, or the history of property
ownership. He researched just about every court record available-deed books, marriage records,
death records, birth records, wills, tax records, court records, census reports and the information
available in the Virginia Room of the Roanoke City Library.
In addition to being a Genealogist, Charles Bwion was a historian. Not only did he search the
records for information about places and people, he personally visited and checked out early
places of travel, commerce and industry, as well as home sites and cemeteries. His knowledge of
people and places in the days of settlement and development was remarkable. He consistently
reported his findings in the numerous papers and reports that he wrote for individuals and he
shared many of these with other genealogists and record searchers.

Charles T. Burton's ancestors were early settlers in Botetourt County and he grew up on family
lands in the Glebe area of Botetourt County. His life changed when he became ill with
tuberculosis in the l 950's. He was unable to work for about seven years and struggled to fi nd
something to do to relieve his boredom. During this period he discovered the Virginia Room of
the Roanoke City Library. His research and genealogy work began there.
For a number of years, after recovering from tuberculosis, he did agriculture survey work in
Botetourt County. This work added to his knowledge about creeks, branches, homes and other
old buildings.
It is of interest to note that much of Burton's genealogy work was done for women, who were
trying to track down proof of their ancestry so they could apply for membership in the Daughters
of the American Revolution organization. Some of his research was done to trace the ownership
of property. Many people buying property in historic Botetourt County wanted to know the
history of their land from the days of its first settlement. In his personal files Burton maintained
detailed records and information of his findings as well as copies of his reports and data
compilations. In 1995 he gave all of his research material along with the copyright to his books
to the Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society in Roanoke, Virginia. The society donated
his material to the Virginia Room of the Roanoke City Library but retained the copyright.
Charles T. Burton passed away in the fall of 1998.

Charles Burton's Books Offered for Sale
Several years ago the society reprinted 75 copies of Charles Burton's seminal work
Botetourt County, Virginia Early Settlers. They were offered for sale to members a~d
they sold out quickly. Some thought was given to reprinting Burton's other book,
Botetourt County, Virginia Children, but it never happened.
Two years ago the society decided to participate in the genealogy fairs sponsored by
the Bedford Genealogical Society and the Botetourt Genealogy Club. It was felt that we
should offer something other then just brochures. We decided to sell reprints of both
Burton books at the fairs. The books were ordered and paid for at the fairs. Following
the fairs the books were printed and mailed to the buyers. This proved to be a
successful project. Please see the order form for a description of the books.
The society would like to offer the same opportunity to our members. The sale will be
conducted as a "one day sale", which will allow us to not have to collect sales tax on
books sold to Virginia residents. Out of state residents pay no sales tax. Orders MUST
reach us by November 1O, 2009. Any orders received after that date will be returned
unopened. Checks will NOT be cashed until November 1o th . After the 1oth, the books
will be printed and mailed. They will NOT be bound but will come with coverstock front
and back covers. The buyer can then "bind" the book as they see fit. If we were to bind
them it would add significantly to the cost. Please use the following order form . Make a

HISTORY OF BOONSBORO HIGH SCHOOL

~..;.~.-:

In the early days before public schools, parents who

could afford to do so would employ a governess or private tutor to come live in the home and teach the children. Poetry, French, Latin, music and cultural things
were taught to the children to hold their social position.
At this time, there were a few private schools but
only the children of wealthy families were able to attend. There was one private school in the Boonsboro
community. This was Pebleton which was organized by
two Mason sisters, Anno and Charlott. This was for girls
only and was located on the Holcomb Rock Rood.
The attitudes of communities on organizing public
schools varied. The lower class and less fortunate people wonted the organization of public schools. Children

Dear Fellow Members,
Time just seems to fly by!!! In my last letter I mentioned that we were off on a
Mediterranean cruise in March. We were gone about two weeks and had a wonderful
time ... the trip of a lifetime!! We stopped in Italy, in Greece we climbed the Acropolis to
see the Parthenon, walked in St. Paul's footsteps at Ephesus, saw the Pyramids in
Egypt and spent the day on the jewel of the Mediterranean, Malta. While I have no
ancestral ties to these places I could imagine how excited I would be if I did . I felt that
excitement when I first visited England and saw where my ancestors lived and worked.
If you can visit some of your ancestral "homeplaces" I highly recommend it.
My husband had a new development with his family history research recently. I was
looking at the KAPPESSER message board on Rootsweb.com, something I had not
done in a long time. Someone asked for information on Peter KAPPESSER, winner of
the Medal of Honor in the Civil War and my husband's great uncle. A reply was posted
by Peter's great-grandson. Since he blocked his email address, the best we could do
was post a response. We figured he might not look at the board for sometime so we
searched Switchboard (switchboard.com) for an address and phone number for him.
Sure enough we found him. Gary called him but got voice mail. He left a message and
waited. Several days later he received a call. He now has a new "cousin" and the
answer to a burning question, what happened to Peter's Medal of Honor? The cousin
has it framed and hanging on his wall. The moral of the story is: check the surname
boards at various genealogy websites often and, if you can't respond with an email, find
the phone number and give the person a call.
Happy Hunting,

K~

National Genealogical Society Convention May 2009 Raleigh NC
What a great convention! If you haven't had the opportunity to go to the
National Convention_, I encourage you to go next time it's in your area. Next
year it's in Salt Lake .City, Utah. Just going to the exhibitor's hall 1s
awesome, plus it's free! Titis year many great classes were offered.
I was able to go to a couple of classes - "Solutions for Missing or Scarce
Records'' - Thomas W. Jones, PhD, CG, CGL, FASG &amp; co-editor ofNGSQ.
This class dealt with overcoming barriers in your research caused by lost or
destroyed records.
The wealth of knowledge at the convention is intoxicating. "ABC's of
NARA'', conducted by several National Archives staff, dealt with finding
aids for the vast holdings at the National Archives &amp; Records
Administration including its regional &amp; affiliate archives.
It was hard choosing which classes to attend -wish I could have stayed .for
the whole week.

Like most of the N GS conventions one of the nice things is the free extra
activities offered. They had a "Society Night" where most all the geney
societies in NC had info tables set up. There were free lectures on:
Melungeons_, Irish Emigration, How our Ancestors Moved over the Land in
Olden Times, Genealogy 2.0 Using Digital Tools to Trace your North .
Carolina Roots, The Journey of the Ancestry Record and African
American genealogy forum at the North Carolina Museum of History.
There were also extra activities that \Vere not free but sounded fun Research Trip to UNC Chapel Hill's Wilson Library, Raleigh Trolley Tours,
and Orientation Tours &amp; Segway Tours. Great activities for non-genealogist
&amp; genealogist alike, so a good time can be had by all!

REV. PETER VEST MARRIAGE RECORDS
The following was printed in the Floyd Press, February 4, 1960
and is presented here in its entirety.
Ma1Tiage Records Kept by the Late Rev. Peter R(obert) Vest
The following was taken from some papers found by Mrs. Lala Vest in
old files of Rev. Peter R. Vest. It is not an accurate record as the papers
were so depleted that they could scarcely be read and it is not a complete
record. It was taken from scrapes of paper and was inco1nplete but we
thought it might interest some to have this published. Rev. Vest was a
minister for the Methodist Episcopal Church for 44 years.
Peter R. Vest was converted to God, June 20, 1852; was appointed Class
Leader 1866, was licensed to exhort 1871; was licensed to preach 1873;
was ordained deacon 1886 by Bishop Andrews.
Rev. Vest was married to Charlotte Shockey, December 7, 1853. His
family consisted of the following children: William Madison, Sarah,
Callahill, Nancy Ellen, George D, Biar, Lewis Letnon (Jeff), Frances
and Noah.
Fron1 1874 to 1888, he had preached 750 sermons. That was the last
record he had kept. Below are the marriages we found.

Most aspects of African
American History is undocumented
in Southwest Virginia. If these
histories go unrecorded, a
remarkable saga will go untold and
will be lost to future generations.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE?
On August 8, 2001 with the
help of a committee of Marion,
Virginia citizens. Evelyn Lawrence
organized the Mt. Pleasant
Preservation Association (1\1PPA)
to insure the preservation and the
use of the Mt. Pleasant Church.
With the aid of Atty. John
Graham and Rev. Harry Howe this
goal was attained and the church
building sits ready to be used as a
Community Center and an African
American Museum.

There was once a society of people, ill
this area, who are with us no more.
Their lives were filled with sacrifice,
social injustice and deprivations; a people
who counteracted with courage, triumph
and outstanding achievements.
But the voices of these people have been
stilled and will not be heard audibly again.
We've heard the stories told by these
voices, that were never written down.
But there are ways to bring these voices
back. The task rests with the present
generation.
Hany Plummer, inventor/chemist

MISSION
The Mt. Pleasant Heritage
Museum is partnering with "Project
Crossroads," as a non-profit group,
to focus on the preservation of the
Church, to be used as a Community
Center for worship services,
programs and meetings; and as an
African American Museum to
promote the cultural contributions
of African Americans to Stnyth
County, the state and the nation.

Where Th ey Came From

States

How We Got Them

As the United States expanded westward from the Thirteen Original Colonies, Congress recognized the need for an
orderly system of surveying and. describing the Federal lands to be opened for settlement. On May 20, 1785, the Continent al Congress enacted 'a land disposal ordinance establishing a Pubfic·Land Survey System based on a rectangular grid, and
authorized the Treasury. Board to sell public lands for revenue.
The General Land Office (GLO) was established within the Treasury Department in 1812 to
take charge of all survey and land title records. GLO became part of the newly-created Department of the Interior· in 1849, and merged with the U.S. Grazing Service in 1946 to form the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). BLM is now custodian of the land records, including more than
7 .5 million ow.n ership titles covering. 1.5 billion acres of present or former Public Domain land.

More than 5 million of these title documents are stored and mafntained· at BLM's Eastern States

Th e Records We Maintain

The first land records developed from the Ordinance of 1785 were survey field notes.
Government surveys began in Ohio in 1785 and progressed westward to open more territory for
settlement. The surveyor prepared the field notes 'describing the survey performed. The notes
might include the names of very early settlers livlng in the survey area and a variety of descriptions of land formations, climate, soil, and plant and animal life.
Survey plats. are drawings of the boundaries created by each survey. Plats are prepared by
dra~smer:i who base their drawings on information in the field' notes and surveyor sketches. The. survey plats do not show ownership or land status. ·
·"
Land ownership, protected b.y a legal title, Is a hallmark of western civilization . As the Public
Domain was surveyed, the Federal Government began transferring title of land parcels to private citizens, companies, and local governments. · Mos't titles were transferred by patents (deeds) from the
Federal Gover.nment. Records of these patents and other conveyances of title-such as railroad grants,
swamp grants, schoot grants, Indian allotments, and private land claims-are contained in large-sized
tra.c t books. First developed around 1800 and maintained in local land offices, tract books have long
served as the essential reference source for all transactions involving public lands. They tell who obtained what land from the Federal Government and when.
.
RLM's Eastern States maintains approximately 2,000 GLO tract boo ks containing the land records for the 13 ·p ublic
land states under its jurisdiction: Alabama, Al'kansas, Florida, Illino is, Indiana 1 Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Consi dered the largest land title. office in the world, Eastern States maintains almost five ml llion Federal la nd conveyance documents issued before and after the U.S. constitution was ratified. These conv eyance documents include homesteads, cash sales, miscel laneous warrants, private la nd claims, railroad lists, and St;:1te
swamp lists and selections. We do not have the land owner.ship records that come after this first patent. · (These recoFds
are unde r State jurisdiction and are usual ly kept at t he local county courthouse or recorders' offices.)
The historic t ract books are continual ly used by the Eastern States' staff, Federa l arid state agencles, title insu:·ance companies, ind ustry , researchers, and others. The continuous use o f many of these old books has caused much wear
and tear, despite \::he efforts of artisan bookbinders using old skills and new technologfes to help maintain the books in ·usable form. These old records are literal ly being

"Preserving Anierica's Heritage," The General Land Office Records Project
BLM faced an urgent need to preserve and protect these r.ecords, but still insure their ava ilability for resea rch . Technology provided the answer. In 1989, Eastern States launched a unique
project--the GLO Automated Records Project--to copy these priceless conveyance documents onto
com puter-read laser disks. Once copied, the historic documents can then be retired and stored in
acid-free boxes in a climate-controll ed vault.
This Project offers researchers a single source of recorded information on lands once in Federal ownership, such as data regarding current Federally-owned lands and minerals; which Federa l
agency ha s j urisdiction over the land suiface; and what individuals or entities first received the land
from the Federal Government.

If We've Got It, You Can Get It ·
Every month, the BLM, Eastern States, furnishes certified copies for hundreds of patents. Most requests for copies come
from genealogists seeking information about their ancestors. Individuals and firms involved in real estate and in minerals
exploration and development find these records essential to knowing whether or not the United States owns the land, or if
mineral rights were reserved to the Federal Government when the United States conveyed
title to the land.
;
Many of these requests come from the southern States where the burning of county
courthouses during the Civil War caused the loss of many titl.e records. The records are also

section, township, range, survey meridian, and state. Until very recently, the name of the

landowner alone has not been sufficient, because the land records of most states are not
indexed by name.
)
Now, available via the internet, BLM offers information on historic land patents from
a II 30 public land states (those not included in the original 13 colonies), east and west.
"'r"
Cash and Homestead patent images and data for 13 eastern public lands states have been online for about 9 years. Now
the "serialized" patents can be found on-line--these records includ~ post-1908 conveyances issued chronologically from the
headquarters General Land Office/SLM in Washington, D.C. Currently, we are in the process of automating the Military
Warrants issued under the Acts of Congress dated 1847, 1850, 1852, and 1855. Data and images are being made available daily, as the automation of the GLO records. continues. The website also includes indexes to patents issued prior to
1908 for most western states. The website has image display capabilities to include TIFF, GIF, and PDF formats.
The survey plats and field notes are now being added to the GLO Records website. These hand drawn p·lats were
made from the descriptive field notes in preparation for the Federal Government's sale of public lands. These plats show
the landscape as it was prior to American settlement as well as legal surveying measurements. Occasionally these plats
indicate man-made features, both Indian and from early pioneers, however they do not show ownership information or
land status. Today these plats still have legal, historical and scientific value.

H1ese states are: Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and West Vir ginia, Also, we do not have records for Texas and Hawaii.
Inquiries concerning land records for these states should be directed to the individual state archives or land record s
offices .

------.... Bureau

of Land Management
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is an agency with1h
the Department of the Interior. We are responsible for managing the Nation's public lands and resources in
ways that best serve the needs of the American people. Management is based on the principle of multiple
use and sustained yield--a combination of uses that balances the needs of future generations for rehewable
and nonrenewable resources. These resources include recreation, range, timber, minerals, watershed, fish
and wildlife, wilderness and natural scenic, scientific and cultural values. BLM's Eastern States (ES) organization is the steward of the public lands and resources under the jurisdiction of BLM in the 31 states east of
and bordering on the Mississippi River. These public lands and resources are managed to protect the environment and provide a diverse array of products and outdoor experiences. In addition t o maintaining and protecting the
Secretary of the Interior's official land records, ES also performs cadastra l surveys for other Federal agencies and hel ps
place many of America's wild ho rses and burros lnto adoptive homes.

Traditional Genealogy Search Methods Are Often Needed For Virginia Records
Access to so much information online may mislead you into thinking you can solve tough Virginia
genealogy research problems with a few clicks of the mouse. Not so!
Record loss because of missed entries in sources that were:
1) written on convenient slips of paper tom from edges of record books
2) copied into ledgers provided by government agencies
3) microfilmed by technicians who often had no idea what they filmed
4) scanned into digital format from microforms
5) indexed by non-English speakers in foreign lands
6) searched by selected spellings
7) retrieved mechanically by exact spelling as typed by foreign indexers
Read Lynn C. McMillion, "An Index Can Be A Roadblock,'' The Virginia Genealogist 21 (July-Sep
1977) 205-06. Ms McMillion cautions, "Good effective research can begin with a published index,
but MUST NOT END THERE. Search an index for alternate spellings of the name; then locate them
in the actual census ... When too much reliance is placed on indexes-especially mass-produced
ones-they become roadblocks to research."
You can read the census records online frame by frame without using online indexes. Just remember
that the online version comes from microfilm, not a new scanning of the original handwritten pages.
If the filmer missed a page, you will too. And page numbers are not a lot of help-because they have
been numbered and re-numbered over and over.
If you sit quietly in the comer of your local genealogy library with a stack of The Virginia
Genealogist issues beside you, you can begin to make some progress. John Frederick Dorman edited
the magazine from 1957 to 1996, filling 40 volumes with record extracts.

There is a basic focus in those volumes, if you do sit quietly and examine them all. Dorman sought
to fill in the gaps where the records were missing. He included the 1800 tax lists county-by-county
(alphabetically). He printed the British Mercantile Claims, 1775-1803 serially-providing more
specific details than more recent printed versions.
Genealogists from all over the country submitted names missed in printed census editions. For
example, "Some Corrected Readings to the 1625 Census," submitted by William Thorndale, Volume
37 (Jan-Mar 1993) 54. And "Virginia 1820 Federal Census: Names Not On The Microfilm Copy,"
submitted by Gerald M. Petty, Volume 18 (Apr-Jun 1974) 136-39.
"Some Delinquent Taxpayers, 1787-1790," submitted by Robert Y. Clay, Volumes 19-21 (19761978). These census substitutes for the missing 1790 schedules, also give the next place of
settlement for those Virginians who left without clearing their tax bills. A very nice bonus. These

�Page 79

are just examples of the goodies that await you.
Account books, militia lists, legislative petitions, land office warrants, and special census schedules
for the independent city of Alexandria continue the focus on those sections of Virginia where record
loss is especially grievous. And each volume is indexed and there are cumulative indexes in the
reprint and CD editions
Many genealogy libraries subscribed to The Virgillia Ge1Zealogist from the beginning. Libraries
established later acquired the reprint edition from Heritage Books of Bowie, Maryland. Or ordered
the CD-Rom available in 1994. If you want your own set, most of the volumes are still available:
http://www.heritagebooks.com.
Or you can access the volumes at your local Family History Center on 3 rolls of microfilm, FHL
844855-57.

you shouldn't hesitate either.

The Roanoke Times

Our correspondent, ''Front Row," is right and wrong. Roanoke fares
better than the average city of its size in the matter of theatrical
performances. It is on a trunk line and gets the best companies on the road.
The Greenwood Opera Company, Clara Louise Kellogg, Robert McLean
and Marie Prescott have been here the present season, and are in the front
rank as theatrical attractions. Evans and Hoey will be here to-morrow night
and give a performance at a less price than it can be seen in Washington~
On the other hand, "Front Row" is right in complaining of the building in
which the performances are given. Roanoke ought to have a hundred
thousand dollar opera house, with a seating capacity of not less than 1,500.
Manager Beckner, "Front Row" and The Times are right in a line on that.

Oral History Questions
This list of oral history questions was compiled from a variety of sources
by Joanne Todd Rabun in 1992.They included a 6th grade class project of her
daughter and a college-Jevel Women's Studies class project of her nephew.
She used them to produce a booklet entitled "The Life and Times of Winnie
Lackore" to commemorate Winnie's 90th birthday celebration.

Name tags for everybody.
Be sure to have a camcorder, and after the reunion provide/sell copies
of the video.
Have a display area showing everyone on the family tree. If people
want to share photos, documents, etc., look into renting a copier.
Assign someone to schedule games. Prizes could be small like a mug, tshirt, etc., with the family name on it.
Put together a Family Trivia Pursuit game.
Make a family time capsule. Family members could write down
memories, bring pictures or anything they would like to put in the
capsule. The idea is how you would want others to know your family.
One family put their items in a small footlocker and donated it to the
local historical society in the family name.
Have family members bring odd pictures that not too many have seen,
and guess who they are.
Ask family members to bring one wrapped gift, something
about/of/from the family. The gifts are numbered as they are registered
and given out as door prizes.
Give prizes for the oldest, youngest, farthest traveled, most children,
etc.
Have a story telling time, with the elders telling stories that begin with
sentences like, "The orneriest thing my brother/sister ever did to me
while we were growing up was ..."
Sell t-shirts with the family name/crest.
Make a xeroxed family history coloring book that tells the family story.
Buy discount stuffed animals and send one home with each child.
Sometimes the teenagers want one, too.
Have crafts for the kids: necklaces, marble pouches, something they can
make and take home. Or, have face painting, bubbles, ring toss, etc.
Have everyone handwrite a recipe card or paper, copy them and make
a family cookbook.
Laminate copies of family photos for a placemat to be taken home.
Make a family calendar showing everyone's birthday.

Something to think about: Some folks might not be at the next reunion, so
make it one they will remember. Have something interesting for all age
grolBps.

Dear Fellow Members,
It's hard to believe that we are two months into 2009. It seems like time just flies by.
There are so many things to do and seemingly no time to do them . One of our local
members, Elizabeth "tibbie" Spoelma recently passed away. Libbie, with the help of
her daughter, took the time to write down her remembrances of her early life in
Roanoke. In fact, we published some of them in the VAN. What is important is that
now her family has these because she took the time to put them to paper. If you have
considered doing this, make the time to do it. Your family will thank you for it.
Recently I saw this website in our local newspaper: http://calendarhome.com/free It
has a number of interesting features including a date calculator and perpetual calendar.
Often times the old newspapers I look at online give the date but not the day of the
week. If the obit says he died on Tuesday and the date on the paper is June 8 what
was the date of his death? Is June 8 Wednesday or Thursday? A calculator sure
comes in handy! The world clock feature is neat, too. We are off on a Mediterranean
cruise in March and it's been fun to see what time it is in the various ports we will visit.
Finally, awhile back I mentioned the new LOS Family History Library site at:
http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=O It is worth checking this site
periodically as new material is always being added. A recent check revealed a new
batch of German burial records that included new information on both my husband's
and my German ancestors. We were able to add death dates and spouses (included in
the record!) for several of them. This site is fast becoming a great resource.
Happy Hunting,

f&lt;ci.,~

REMINISCENCES O,f A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER
CHAPTER

III .

THIRD YEAR OF THE WARo

When we left home we thought our command had gone across
the Blue Ridge and were in the valley of Va. , but when we got
to Port Republic we learned they were movin g in the direction
of Chancellorsville, so we had to recross the Blue Ridge .
Just about sun down of the day we recrossed , we arrived
at a Mrso Woolfork ' s. There were about 24 other soldiers
stopping there for supper , alsoo Mrs . Wool for k ' s son-in-law,
Mr. Poindexter , had been in prison with u s at Washington ,
just about a month beforeo He knew the country well and we
decided to march all night in order to join the command .
Just
as supper was ready a citizen who lived nearby and knew we
were all ther, came in and said there was a lot of cavalrymen
on the Louisa Spring Road, but he could not just tell which
way they were aiming to goo
While we were eating supper , some of the family stayed
on the front porch t o see if the cava l rymen wou l d come that
way and just when we were about half through supper , the young
lady who stood guard rushed in and said th e cavalrymen had
come near enough for her to see they were yankees and a coup l e
fo them were already dismounting.
The dining room was in the basement and we all went out
at an east door while the Yankees were corning in on the west
side of the house on the upper flooro
We ran and got our
horses as rapidly as possible and r o de about a mi l e , and then
Mr. Poindexter and I wen t to a cross road to see if we cou l d
hear anyt~i~g.of them coming and to our surprise, there was
a whole division of cavalry coming . We had left our two
horses wi th the other 28 men and we just stayed in the heavy
p ine timber, where we knew the Yankees couldn ' t see us , until
Stoneman 's whole division passed.
It was fortunate for us that this all took place after
dark, for had it been a couple of hours earlier, the Yankees
would have undoubtedly captured us all.
We s tayed a l l night
in this pine timber about a mi l e from Poindexter ' s hom e and
kept on the alert all the ti~e for fear other Yankees were
f ollowing o

After day break we started on in the direction of Chancellorsville , but soon found there were troops moving in front
of us . Poindexter and I went in ahead of the otheT 28 ,
to see if we could find out who they were and soon found they
were Confederates.
I left Poindexter and went to them as soon as they
halted and found it was Gen . William Henry Lee's Division .
Poindexter went back and told the other men to come on and
we joined Lee's men . He had no rations for his men and
as we had only had a half supper the night before and no
breakfast, ha told us to go to a farm house near by and
try and get something.
We found the man of the house as . kind as any one could
be. He was the father of our present Judge, William A.
Anderson. He fed all 30 of us and our horses also.
We went back to Lee's division after our late breakfast
and after a short march, overtook Stoneman ' s division and
began fighting his rear men .
He checked the whole division, of course, to protect the
rear and we thus checked his raid.
I was in the rear line of
the battle and didn't see the hotest of the fight.
We were right at a house and as some one brought some
prisoners by taking them to the rear, an old lady came out
and saw the blue uniforms and began crying,
and said,
"Don ' t kill any of them blues!" One fellow said: ' ' I'm
going to kill every d--n rascal I can." She just fell down
on the ground and said : "I ' ve got a boy in the blues and
I don ' t want you to kill him" I felt sorry for her and
went to her and told her I was sorry she had a son in the
yankee army. "Oh ! he is not a yankee," she said, "he is
with Mr. Wiser ' s folks." They were called the Louisa Blu~s
and the old lady thought any one having on blue clothes might
be her boy.
About one o ' c l ock the artillery began firing near
Chancellorsville , about three or four miles from us, but Wm.
Henry Lee held his position to keep Stoneman in check.
Shortly after nightfall Jackson was reconnoitering bet ween his men and Hooker's army, and had given orders to his
outposts to fire on the first sound or man they saw or heard,
and they not knowing he was out there, fired on him and
mortally wounded him.
The next morning Gen. J. E. B. Stewart took conunand of
Jackson's division. Stewart began his march that morning and

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 10

ordered the band to play his £avori te: "The Old Gray Horse
Jumped over the Elephant . " He and one of his aids sang the
tune, to other words, though . They were : " Old Joe Hooker
Get Out of the Wilderness . "
Stewart followed Hooker and drove him across the Rapp ahannock . We 30 fe llows who hadn't got ten to our company
yet, got supper and breakfast among the citizens, and Wm . H.
Lee sent us to Orange c. H. Here we found some more boys ,
who like ourselves hadn't found the command they belonged
to yet . There wer~ about 70 of us by this time.
Some of
them new ~en comi~g in, prisoners returning with their
_
horses, like I was , and some coming back who had been on sick
furloughs, etco
We got rations here and laid down in the woods where the
infantry had been camping and the next morning when we
awoke
the snow was falling in flakes more like biscuits, than snow
flakes . If it had been biscuits it would have had to snow
some, or we would have eaten it just as £ast it fell .
I was about the first one to wake and I jumped up and
shouted "Hurrah for Jeff. Davis o" Campbell, of Co . G . Bedford
County, shouted back Hurrah for H-- o"
Several fellows had to
smil e, when Campbell made his reply.
I told Campbell I had
always heard a bad beginning made a good ending , and when March
came in like a lion it went out like a lamb .
He said : " yes, ''
but this is the first of May and it is coming in like the
devil, and I reckon it will go out like h- - . "
This caused
laughter generally , and everybody was soon up and our fire s
started fo r breakfast .
We went into town after breakfast and orders had come
to send all the men on to Culpepper C. H.
Here we joined our
command and found that none of our Co . had been killed at
Chancellorsville. It had been about six weeks since I ' d been
with the Co., only the one night, before I started for my
horse, after being captured.
Norman Hayth was our cook at ·this time and when the other
members of mess got back from picket duty one day he hacl. a
lot of beef cooked, that was highly flavored with garlic.
Not
one of the boys in the mess could eat it, but me, so I traded
each of them some other part of my supper for their beef and
ate all eight of the rations . They all said I ' d die before
morning, I told them I'd come nearer dying from not getting
enough beef than too much. Joe Shaver was sick and we put him
in a tent near by and John Q. H. Thrasher was tak ing care of
him. Well in the night I woke up and the garlic had gotten in
my head so that I was sneezing and gaging and Jo hn heard me
and h a llooed to the boys to see what was the matter with that
man. They soon found I was the fellow in trouble, but they a l l

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 11

laughted and said that's the man with the 8 rations of beef.
He'll come . Such a time as I had with that garlic for a
wh ile, I told them I'd invented a separator to seperate the
garlic from the meat. By this time a lot of boys was awake
and shouting and laughing, soldier like, and the Capt. had
to call us to order before the fun stopped.
I didn't get
sick at all but the garlic just filled by head almost like
an overdose of snuff would I imagine .
The next thing that happened to me of any note was one
day another boy and I decided to go to see some young ladies,
and we went down to a pond to wash and the water was low,
s o we had dug basins around the edge so the water would clear
up by the time we needed it, and just as we were about washed
and dressed in our very best, a stray bullet crune whizzing
along and went right into the muddiest part of the pond and
threw mud all over us. Well , now if ever boys felt like
saying Sunday school words, we did then . We had to give up
our trip for that day, any way.
We had fine pasture for our horses and they soon f attene d
and l ooked so nice, that we could hardly realize they were the
same animals we 'd brought through the winter. We were in
camp h e re until the 20th of June , when the grand review of the
whole army took p l ace at Culpepper C. Ho
The fences had all been torn away and the infantry, cavalry ,
and artillery were all stationed, so that Ge n. Lee and his
aids could review them . After he had gone around and seen
them all , he took a position ~ and ordered all to march by him
in battallions . The cavalry passed first , then infantry, th e n
artil l ery . The arti llery took a position on the heights and
fired all the cannons as Gen . Lee passed by again.
Gen o Lee had ordered all the cavalry and wagon horse s to
be shod , but we didn ' t know what was to follow . The n ight
after the review a grand ball was given in the town. When
Gens . Kilpatrick and Buford of the U. S. army heard the firin g
o f the artillery , they sent out scoutincr0 parties on all the
roads to see what it meant .
Just at the height of the ball our pickets c a me in and
r e ported that the Yankees were coming in on all th e ro a d s ,
which put a sudden stop to gaities and every man ~a s t e n e d
to his post of duty. The cavalry was sent to guard all the
fords on the Rappahannock . Our command was sent to McLean's
Ford to throw up fortiforcations which we did unt i l d aybre a k .
At daybreak , we found there was a squadron of c avalry near us,
which we could see over our fortifications.
Two of the men came down to the ford a nd wate red the ir hors es
and I

down, by two ' s until about 8 o ' clock.

At about 9 o ' clock Gen. Kilpatrick aimed to cross at
Kelly ' s Ford and was met by Gen. Wade Hampton . A desperate
battle was fought and finally Hampton succeeded in driving
them back across the river.
We were near enough to hear the firing but not near
enough to engage in it . Geno Stoneman did not at temp to
cross where ' we were, so we just stood guard all day .
While
this was going on Gen . Lee, with the r emainder of the army,
was moving o~ toward Harpers Ferry .
We were ordered from the ford late in the evening and
started in the direction of Manasses Junction . We were there
on the same side of the river with Stoneman and marching on
roads paralle l to each other, but neither General knew the
others course until after the camp fires were started .
We went into Camp in the rear of Stoneman's men , and later
in the night, Gen . Kilpatrick ' s forces camped in a skirt of
woods just behind us , and a little later Gen. Wade Hampton,
following on, got a message from Gen . Stewart that Stoneman
was in front of us and Kilpatrick behind us, and for him to
camp in the woods just behind Kilpatrick and at daybreak
to open fire on Kilpatrick's men and he, Stewart, wo~ld have
us fire on Ki lpatrick ' s and Stoneman ' s men also.
This we
carried out and completely routed both commands .
They didn ' t
know the other ' s position and we surprised them so , that all
they could do was to try to get away . We willed and captured
a good many, but they didn ' t resist us.
It was just a running
fight.
We drove them all that day on toward Washington , not
stopping to get food, and went into camp at nightfall .
Stewart and Hampton cross the Potomac with their men at
Senica Falls in the nighto When Gen . Hooker learned that Lee
was going on toward Maryland , he took his men and tried to
get in front of him, which he did
Eight packet boats had been
sent up with provisions for Hooker ' s army and when they came
into the locks not knowing we were there 'we turned the wickets
and let the water out and burned the boats . We had been marching four days withou t any prov is ions a .t al 1, so we took what
we could in our haversacks, before burning the boats.
We took
the mules, 24 in number, on with us. we helped the woman and
children from the boats and took their furni ture out, as we
didn't want to destroy private property.
It was ha:d to do
then, with them all crying like they did, but such is war.

In a short distance from where we crossed the river, we
came on a garr ison of yankees at a place ca ll ed West Minister
and captured them all, without the loss of a man .
We so

�Page 13

completely surprised them that they surrendered without
resistance . We went on to Hanover to capture a garrison there,
but they learned of our coming and resi-sted us with right heavy
loss to both sides. One of our young men, Walter Gilmore, was
shot in the shoulder, as he was riding between Chas Price
and myself, as we were trying to get him to the rear, he was
shot in the left eye , but we f i nally got to a house and asked
the lady of the house to take care of him, while we went on
and took the garrison o I never knew anything more of young
Gilmore until the summer of 1911, I met him at New Port News
at a reu nion. He told me he was sent to a hospital in Baltimore by the Yankees and received the kindest of treatment
and the best of medical aid and soon recovered.
We took our West Minister and Hanover prisoners on with
us and our next stop was at Carlisle, Penn . All the provisions
we had on th i s march , except what some of us got from the boats,
was what we could beg form the citizens . Some of us nearly
starved. Here we destroyed some of the public buildings in
which food for the Yankees was stored . We threw hot shot a
mile or so and wherever those hot balls would strike, they
would set fire . Some of our men who were marching ahead of
our Coo had set fire to Thad Steven's Iron Works · in Penne and
as we passed and saw it burning I told the boys that was a bad
move, that the Yankees would soon retaliate and do us more
damage than we could do them, as so much of the fighting was
done on southern ground.
We did this shelling with hot shot at night and continued
marching all night . We still marched all the next day stopping
occasionally for a little while to let our horses graze.
About noon we heard cannonading about Gettysburg.
Gen.
Lee had arrived Friday July 1st , with his whole army except
Picket t's division, which was coming from Chambersburg and
Hampton's and Stewarts divisions of cavalry with which I made
the trip. Lee had engaged the enemy Saturday and drove them
back, but could not make a general charge, as these three
divisions hadn ' t arrived. Had these divisions been full
numbered there would have been about 48 000 men. But of course
a great many of different companies had'been kil l ed or disabled . For instance Co. C. the one to which I belonged,
only had 64 men bearing arms when we left Va. a Co. was supposed to have 100 men, of course, and they were recruited at
different times, but I remember we only had 64 then and other
companies may have been cut down, also, so it would be hard
to determine just how many men were in these three divisions .
However there were so many that Lee waited until they arrived
to bring on the general chargeo We arrived Saturday evening
July 2. As we had been marching so much and had so little

rest since June 20, we all laid down in a stubble field and
were soon fast asleep. I tied my horse's halter strap to
my gun sling and just left saddle and all on, and when I
awoke the next morning, I was about 30 yds farthe r down in
the field than where · I went to sleep.
She had just dragged
me on as she ate, but I was too dead asleep to know it.
Before we got to sleep the enemy was firing a cannon every
littl e while and every thing would be as visible as in day
time. But it was a dark night and illuminations made it
seem darker, of course, after disappearing, the shells would
some time burst over us , but didn't do us any harm.
Some of the boys heard the cannon all night at int ervals ,
but I was too exhausted to hear a great deal.
At daylight the bugle sounded and we mounted our horses
and went out to join the line of battle before having any
breakfast. As our wagon train wasn ' t with us, we hadn't had
any rations issued since the 20th of June and all we had was
what citizens gave uso There were too many of us, for any
one man to get much , so we thought of breakfast the first thing,
when we awoke.
We were halted before reaching the line of battle , by
Major Mason , one of Gen. Lee's staff officers, and he called
for one Capt . two Serg's two Corporals and 30 private soldierso
I was one of the private soldiers called out and Capt .
Jas . Breckinridge was the commissioned officer called out.
Major Mason took us then three or four miles out in the direction
of Harrisburg , Penno Major Mason then told Capt. Breckinridge
to send a reliable ~oldier to an elevated point near by that
overlooked the Harrisburg Road for about a mile.
Capt. Breckinridge told me to go and gave me paper and
pencil to kee~ an account of the enemy ' s regimental flags , and
peices of artillery that passed the road.
There were lookouts
stationed on my right and le ft to guard . me as I was lying flat
and watching the enemy ' s movement, so could not watch myself.
I began my watching about 9 o 'cl ock a nd was to l eave my
post at noon : I~ was a sweltering day, a real type of Ju l y
a~d you may imagine how sleepy_I got l ying flat in that clover
field and the rays_of the sun Just pouring on me.
You see,
I'd only had one night's sleep since June 20 and had been
marching day and night and this was July 3. 'My same old watch
that I'd carri~d when I waded the Rappahannock, was_st~ll
keeping good time and you may know r was g lad when it indicated
12 o'clocko
When I went back to ~he Capt. and gave him the account
of what I'd seen he sent it by a courier right on to Gen. Lee.

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 15

I remember I counted 100 ~egimental flags and 70 peices of
artillery. Lee had men put on all the roads like this, so
he'd have a knowledge of the size of the army he'd have to
fight.
.
When I got back to the CaFt• and gave him the paper, I
was as wet with perspiration, as if I'd been dipped in the
creek.
I was so exhausted from hunger and general fatigue
that I soon fell as l eep and slept £or an hour or so , the
cannons firing a l l the timeo At one when the general charge
was made , I awoke though .
Soon we saw a skirmish line coming, and they began firing
on us, but we showed a bold front and they not knowing how many
there were of us , as there were some buildings near and we
were scattered around and they soon stopped firing on uso
Looking south, we could see the smoke from the artillery and
musketry, boiling up like a volcano. This elevated position
give us a fine view of the surrounding c9untry. The roar_of
artillery was like a continuous peal of thunder. Our regiment
was about a mile from where I was with the few men who had
been sent out with me and in fact our skirmish extended on
to us , but the main part of our regiment was heavily engaged,
but . were driven back by Kilpatrick ' s regiment. They were
fighting , without having had any food all day and .the day
before and the horses the same, only what they ate dragging
us around the night before. The whole regiment had fared just
as I had for the last two weeks and were broken down completely.
The hottest of the battle was fully two miles from where
I was stat i oned . As I hadn ' t had a bite to eat since breakfast
Sat . morning and this was Sunday eve, I told Capt . Breckinridge
I was going to risk my life and go to a brick house about
200 yards in front of our skirmish line and try to get something to eat.
I watched and kept the house between me and
the enemy ' s skirmish line and went in at the winq9w and down
in the basement, I found a boiled shoulder of bacon, several
loaves of bread and all the apple butter and marmalade I could
carry and a lot of dutch cheese. The family had left on account
of the battle , so I took my time to get plenty and made three
trips and took enough back to feed all 35 of the men who had
been sent out with me.
After emptying the crocks we put them on the fence back
of the house and wrote a note to the lady of the house and
put with the crocks, thanking her for her kindness. Her
provisions had certainly been a friend in time of need .
The firing of the enemy stopped for a little while and
we thought our forces had gained the victory, but when Pickett
made his charge the firing began anew and as we hadn't been

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

ordeTed to advance, we soon knew that we had lost the day.
We could not see the hottest of the battle, only the awful
smokeo I ' d never forget that. Major Mason took us back to
Gen . Lee's headquart~rs about nightfall and we slept in the
yard that night. About 10 o'clock i t began raining and rained
all night. Shortly after daybreak Monday morning, Major
Mason gave us something for breakfast and Gen . Lee sent us
to Gen. Meade's headqu~rters under a flag of truce to get
permission to bury our dead.
So I had the privilege of
sitting with Gen's Lee and Meade at their respective headquart~rs the morning of July 4th 63.
When Major Mason
presented the . dispatch to Gen . Meade, he immediately sent
about 30 of his men with a dispatch back to Lee under a flag
of truce·o
About 60 of the U.So Regulars took us all over the battle
field and explained the position of the armies that fought
the day beforeo We went to the hospitals where they had been
amputating limbs and at some of them a six horse wagon could
have been loaded with legs and arms . We passed a half dozo
or more of these field hospitals.
There were a do z . or more
doctors at each of them.
The dead men were every where to
be seen, of cour~e.
It looked more like fields of flax spread
out to dry than any thing I ' d seen beforeQ The most of the
Confederates had been gathered up ready for burial .
There
were several ten acre fields with men lying just as thick as
they could lay. We saw them digging the graves several feet
deep and a blanket was spread down and fuur men laid on it,
then another blanke~ spread over theme The dirt from the
next grave was filled on this one and so on until the whole
line was buried.
I learned afterward that the hurried dispatch
Geno Meade sent back to Gen . Lee, was to send men to mark the
graves of the dead, but that he would have them buried.
The
· regulars did not take us over the portion of the battle field
occupied by the Yankees a We could see the fields strewn with
the dead but they didn't want us to see how many they had lost.
The men were very nice and kind to us though.
They explained
how the dreadful slaughter of Pickett ' s men occurred .
His
columns had been thinned out so much by the artil l ery and heavy
f iring they were subject to in crossing the low ground comeing
up to the road to Cemetery Ridge, and he gave the order to close
to the left, expecting Geno Heath's division to also close to
the left and support him . But Heath couldn't see the move
Pickett made as his men were in a peice of timber and the trees
being in full leaf, the view was obstructed.
They advanced
slowly and when Pickett charged the breast works, Heath's
division was too far in the rear to aid him .
Ther~ was a gap
of about 700 yds. left between Pickett's and Heath's division
and Gen o Warren, who was in fron t of Heath's division saw the
gap, marched a part of his men to the front and right faced and
marched in behind Pickett and captured a part of his men, who
had already taken the breastworks.

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 17

When Pickett saw Warren rs move and knew that Heath
couldn ' t support him to recapture the breastworks, the was
compelled t o retreat. Then was when the terrible slaughter
occurred , as Pickett ~ s men retreated under the heavy £ire
from the artillery they had once taken , but was unable to
hold.
The men had to march very nearly . two miles in the retreat,
in full view of the enemy's artillery , before they reached the
timber , which served as a protection . If Heath had brought
his men up as Pickett expected , it would only have caused
a heavier slaugh ter, because I saw the tents of a number of
lines of battle the next day that the regulars told us were
right there to support the b;eastworks, that Pickett couldn't
see when he was making the charge . He never could have held
the position , againsed such heavy forces .
We went right over the summit of Cemetery Ridge, by the
Peach Orchard and High Water Mark . It was all a dismal sight
as it was raining steadily until about 12 o'clock , but the_
work of caring for the wounded and burying the dead was being
carried on as rapidly as it was possibleo The regulars took
us on to our outpost and we bade them farewell , never to meet
againo Major Mason knew some of the men personally, so we
enjoyed their kindness very much. Major Mason took us back
to Lee ' s headquarters and Gen. Lee released us and sent us
on back to our command .
In going back to our command , we passed by the remnant
of Pickett 's gallant division . It didn't look to be more than
a regiment . The first man I recognized was my brother-inlaw, Liewu . John Dill , who is still living. I asked him how
many they had lost and his reply was: "We have lost all" He
got in sight of the breastworks, he said, before they had
to retreat. He was wounded by the explosion of a shell.
As all of the Botetourt Infantry was in Pickett's division,
I soon found other men that I knew. The men of the Fincastle
Rifles had the same sad story to ~ell, of the dreadful loss of
their comrades . The descendants of the Botetourt Infantrymen
can always be proud of the charge their ancesters made and glad
they did not see the disconsolat e , depressed remnant I saw
that morning after the battle. It was the saddest sight, I
think, I ever witnessed. You know the missing men were from
my own county, and so many were my acquaintances.
I talked to
some of the gallant men of the Blue Ridge Rifles, Buchanan .
Rifles, also· some of the men who composed Capto Gilmer Breck.inridge ' s company, then commanded oy Capt. Ke l ly .
Capto Breckinridge raised this Co at the beginning of the
war and his father furnished uniforms for the men. Some of the

men of Capt. Spessard's Co. of Craig Co . told me of Nat
Wilsdns death . He was k;illed just· as he crossed the breastworks . He was raised in Fincastle and was one of my schoolmates ,
We reached ouT command on the evening of the 4th.
I
found the regiment had lost heavily, but our company had not
suffered so much . Six of our Co. , beside myself, that only
numbered 64, when we went to Gettysburg , were sent out on this
lookout expedition . The most gloomy time of my life, I
think, was from that eve until we started back to Va . the next
day. Lee was· whipped, but unconqueredo Meade was slow in
following us up .
The infantry and artillery moved in front and the extreme
rear, was brought up by the cavalry , as usual.
The business of the cavalry was to fortify behind us and
protect our men in ~ront . We took wheat shocks and piled them
up high and threw dirt on them and when the advance guards
of the enemy would see our fortifications, they would slack
in their movements. Thay would bring up their artillery and
open fire on us often and we would retreat to other fortifications
built by cavalry ahead of us and so ono
Sometimes we would
have to stop in the open field and fight the enemy .
Sam Riley
was killed in one of these engagements, while we were still
in Penno
George Hayth, "F l ud" we all called him, was mortally
wounded near Boonesboro and died at Winchester, about ten
days later. Alonzo Rineheart was shot through the hand at
the same time "Flud" was wounded, in one of these encounters,
trying to drive the enemy back o
We struck the Potomac near Williamsport and learned there
that our wagon train had been captured and about 15 men from
my Co were captured, also o
They were acting as guards for
the wagon train.
0

Some of the caval r y was ordered to go to the front to
guard the pontoon bridge, that Lee had used crossing the
Potomac going into Maryland, but before we go t there we learned
that the bridge had been destroyed but we went on to where the
bridge had beeno
Whi le there I saw a lot of the wounded men, who were able
to ride crossing the river o It was very deep and at one time
I saw about 30 men go into the river and the horses go t confused
and threw their riders and only 15 passed over sa£elyo
Some
of the horses came back on the Maryland side while others went
across without a rider. These horses were just broken down horses

that the men had picked up along the road and some of the men
were ridi!lg w:l thout sa,ddle or•·b:ridle , just a rope or strap
tied around the horses neck . There were more wounded than we
had wagons or ambulances to carry them and those least wounded were walking on ahead trying to escape the enemy and
get back to Va~ , so picked up the horses as they could.
The citizens told us that the wounded men had been crossing
like that for a day or more , so no doubt many a poor fellow
had a watery grave , in this last effort to reach his home
state again .
We remained at Williamsport , until the whole army arrived .
We had been sent ahead to guard the fords , whi ch we did and
fortified at several places . When they arrived, the river had
run down considerably and the infantry and artillery passed
over first and we again brought up the rear . After we had
crossed we found that Gen. Pettigrew with his division had
been left.
I never knew why . And the enemy attacked him and
he was killed , but not many of his men were lost. Our batteries opened fire from the Va side and protected Pettigrew's
men and held the enemy in check until they could cross the
river and get with uso
0

We continued to retreat until we reached Winchester where
we went into camp for a few days and got a little much needed
resto A good many supplies had been shipped to the army and
we found them when we arrived . A great many were not present
to receive the boxes from home. They had answered the last
roll call and were numbered with the slain.
Some of the Yankees had crossed the Potomac between
Harper ' s Ferry and Winchester and attacked us at Sheppherdstown.
When we went into the battle, Co. C. had only 13 men
left of our 64 that went into Penn. Some had been killed
and the others captured. The picket's were driven in about
12 o ' clock by Gen. Kilpatricks men and a skirmish line was
sent out to bring on the attack. There were a hundred or
more of us in the skirmish line and the 13 men, who compsoed
Co. C, 2nd Va . Cavalry were among them.
In marching toward the enemy a large sink hole was right
in our pathway and instead of going through .the hole and
keeping 8 ft apart which was our usual distance in skirmish
lines , some of the boys went around the hole and 6 or 8 of
them were huddled right together. The enemy was behind a rock
fence on the summit of a hill, which was a grave yard and whe n
they saw these men together, they fired among them and
wounded five, two of them mortally.
We couldn ' t get nearer than about 500 yds, to the ro c k
fence, as the enemy was firing grape and cannister among u s so
we had to lie down behind a rail fence to protect ourselv e s.

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 20

I was lying in a £ence corner and a cannon ball hit the fence
stake on the opposite s~de of the fence from me and cut the
stake off and tore it out of the ground and took it whizzing over me.
It shook me up, I ' l l tell you, but didn ' t
wound me . Had it struck the stake my head was againsed
I would not Ji.ave oee·n· left to tel 1 the tale.
We couldn ' t damage them much from where we were so
we were ordered to the left into a piece of timber and
remained there lQ or 15 minutes and were then ordered to
cha!ge in an9ther direction and went through an old field
and came ~cross five pieces of artillery, that our men had
abandoned on account of the heavy firing from behind that
stone fence . Several of the gunners were lying there
dead and after we passed the guns our gunners came back
and opened heavy fire over our heads, at the men on the
top of tfle hill .
As Gen. Young had gotten in position on our right,
we were ordered to advance and came by a house that we
found to be full of Yankee soldiers.
We came across
several men oehind a corn crib and they laid down and
shot under the crib at our feet , but missed us , and
before they could reload their guns, we ran around the
crib and they ran to the house and into the basement . We
followed at their heels, and to our great surprise , there
were about SO men in the basement , instead of 3 or 4 .
We
ordered th.em to surTender, which they did at once.
Our
line of battle had gotten up by that time and we sent the
prisoners to the rear .
We crossed a l i ttle ravine up a slope into a wheat
field and the · enemy opened such a heavy fire, that we were
compelled to take refuge behind rocks , wheat shocks, or
anything we could. Every man, though , that got behind a
wheat shock was kil l ed .
Capt. Graves and I fell down
behind a large lime stone rock and a shell struck in the
ground about 20 feet from us and ploughed right along
to our rock and exploded .
It threw dirt all over us, but
didn't hurt us at all .
Just at that time , I looked to t h e rear and saw J .
E. Stewart, Wade Hampton and Fitz Hugh Lee coming right
up the ravine and would soon have been in full view of
the men at the rock fence and grave yard.
I ran down
and explained the situation to them.
They remained there
a few minutes planning what to do, and Hampton decided
to ha·v e Gen. 'Young's men come up in 1 ine with Fitz Lee's
men, and make a desperate effort to take the grave yard .

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 21

Hampton sent a cou~~er to Young , and ~n a few m~nutes
his men did charge , ~uf they were ~~wed down so rapidly
that they didn ' t get near up to our line until they were
compelled to fall back. We had to keep our hidden
positions until n~ght fall and then retreat.
When we go t back I found that only six of our 13 in
my company remained unharmed . Ben Peck , a cousin of mine,
was mortally wounded , only lived a few days. John Deisher
also died in a few days. The othe r S recovered , but were
unfit for servi ce for awhile .
We spent the night in camp and the next morning
our pickets found that Kilpatrick had withdrawn his forces
in the night and gone back toward the Potomac. We remained
at this encampment until the next eve, when we had a dress
parade in an oats field nearby.
Dress parades were held every eve in each regiment .
The orders for the next day were always read out and each
orderly Sergeant had to report if any of his men were absent
" without leave " o When the dress parade was over the regiment
was turned over to the quarter master, and he gave orders
for each man to get four bundles of oates to feed our horses
that night and the next morning.
Our Co . was on the extreme right and Co . K, was on the
extreme left of r eg i ment. Each Co . had one of the contariest me n the wor l d ever knew. We had all said if either
of them ever drowned we would fish up the stream for them.
Instead of getting the oats near by, these men started off
in a sweeping ga l lop to the opposite sides of the field
and ran together about the center of the fieldo We heard
a report like that of a gun and immediately, another;
the first proved to be the horses heads coming together
and then the men ' s. All four fell over dead, as we all
thought, at first . We rushed to them and not a sign of
life could be seen. Some one hastened for Dr. Shackleford
and as he had no restoratives with him except hartshorn,
he used that , and we soon fo und we had' two live men alright.
They felt up for the ground though. They then used the
hartshorn on the horses and they soon revived also. The
crowd had gathered by that time and all had a hearty
laugh and gave them three cheers for the bay windows they
carried on their heads.
After going into camp that night in a piece of woods,
we hitched our horses and some of the boys went in search
of water back in the open field. A fellow by the name of
Bob Luckadoo, had gone off about 30 or 40 yards from the
majority o f us and laid down, and these boys coming back

�Page 22

from hunting wate~ , accidently stepped on the man.
He got
very mad and cursed and the boys apologized and told him
they could not see him in the dark . He finally accepted ,
but the boys found .. out what a "touch-me -not " he was, so
told it as soon as they got into camp . We decided to pass
by and stumble over him· again in going for water.
The next
boys did so, and he shouted and cursed them and they
pretended to be so surprised at his being there and began
to apologize. He said : " What in the hell is the use to
apologi .z e , when you ' ve killed me? " He 1 ai~ down again, though,
and presently another boy stumbled over him and he jumped
up and called to the bugler as loud as he could yell:
'' Casey·!
Casey! Just turn out the whole damned bloody
2nd Cavalry and let them march over me and maybe they will
be satisfied . " The regiment enjoyed the prank greatly and
we often laugh about it yet.
We moved camp the next day and his horse got lame and
as we would pass every boy would ask him what was the matter
with it. He got so mad he told us it was none of our d--d
business. Sometimes 3 or 4 would be asking him at once.
He finally got so mad he cursed us until you could have
heard him a mile , I think. We camped the next night in
a dewberry field .
As soon as day broke, I got up and ate a good breakfast
of dewberries. We soon found that there were about a dozen
Yankees on the hill, just above us and they fired on us a
few times, but over shot us. ColQ Munford ordered the bugle
to be blown , which was a signal for us to mount. We were
formed in line and by that time the fog had raised so that
we could see the men on the hillQ He wanted someone to
try to ascertain who they were and why they were there.
I told him I'd go on the hill just opposite, where we could
see better , if someone would go with me. Another man
vo lenteered and I told him to come up from one side and I'd
go up from the other and we could meet on the top. When I
went around on my side of the hill and got to the top the
other volunteer wasn ' t there.
I was in sight of the men on
the other hill and about 200 yards from them I could see
that there were 8 men on horseback and there were two horses
without riders. I was riding my horse that I ' d captured
in the spring. I shouted to them and bade them "Good Morning"
and asked them to whose command they belon ge d and they
answered "Gen. Rosser's ".
They asked me to come up to where they were, but I
told two of them to come down to meQ
They insisted on my
coming but I told them there we re more of them and for two
of them to come to me. Just then two men in some sassafras
bushes about SO yds~ from me fired at me and my horse
whurled so sudden ly, that I heard the whiz of both bullets

right by my head.
I ~ell over on my horse to ~eep her between
me and the men, She almost flew back in the ·direction from
which we had come. The man who started with me never went
to the top of the hill, for he could see the Yankees before
I could and he soon started back .
The Col. then withdrew
the men and made preparation for an attack; but it never was
bro~ght on .
There were a few stray shots all day, but
didn't amount to anything among our men .
Each side seemed
afraid to attack the other , as they couldn ' t ascertain the
strength of the opposi~g forces .
Wh~le we were recuperating and maneuvering around one
evening at dress parade an invatation was read out, that a
Mrs. Lucas in the neighborhood had given an invitation to
all the Burdens , Sheppards and Pecks to attend a dining at
her home .
The invitation was read all through Lee's army.
A lieutenant by the name of Burten from Bedford Co. and I
were the only ones who went. We had to go about six miles:
She lived at a fine farm house and the porch was crowded with
guests. Mrs. Lucas and her daughter came out to meet us
and told us not to tell our names until she guessed who we
were .
She looked at the Lieut. first and said she couldn't
see the favor of any of the Burdens, Sheppards or Pecks .
I told her how he spelled his name and we soorl found it was
different from the name she was hunting . She told us to
get down and come- in anyway ; she was glad we had come,
etco, if the name was a littl e different.
I told her she
had slighted me, that she hadn't guessed who I was yete
She said : "Oh! Come on , I know you by the favor.
I' 11 show
you pictures of your relations for two generat i ons . "

She introduced the Lieut . to the ladies and said she
would introduce me a little later . She took me in and showed
me a life-size portrait of her grandfathe r Jacob Peck, who was
born and raised near Fincastle, and was my great unclea
She knew me by the picture, she said. She then took me back
and introduced me to the guests . Her husband came in, and
to my astonishment, I recognized him as the same Dr. Lucas
that we had so much fun over when we were in prison at
Washington about four months before. I laughed and called
him the fresh fish and he enjoied anew our initiating we
had for these witnesses that were sent to Washington. He
said he recognized me on first sight . Lieut. Burten went
back to camp that eve, but as I had a three day's furlough,
I stayed until the next evening.
Dr. Lucas sent regua~ds to
the other seven men who spent the time with us at Washington.
After a few days we crossed the Blue Ridge and went
back into Culpepper Co, near the same place from which we
had made our start to Gettysburg. We rested and recuperated
at this place a few days and the first disturbance was one
day when half of our division of cavalry was out letting the

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 24

horses graze , when the pickets came in and said that
Kilpat~ick was crossing the Rappahannocko
The bugle sounded,
a signal to saddle and make ready for movement.
Our horses
all being out and half the men, naturally we had a considerable stampede before the men could get back and we could
all make ready. By our de l ay Kilpatrick succeeded in
getting about all of his men over.
We formed our line of battle and aimed to make a
cavalry charge, but could not on account of the timber and
underbrush. · Just as we were dismounting a young man by
the name of Preston, who had come to our regiment the
day before, was shot in the neck and fell deado We charged
them on foot and drove them across the river, capturing a
few of their men and having a few wounded and killed .
Some of our slow fellows who didn ' t get up with us in time
for the pursuit, hitched their horses a t a straw stack and
were smocking and set the stack on fire, and burned it
and one of the horses .

A few days later while out on a scouting expedition ,
and some of our men were left behind the majority of the
command, having the ir horses shod , Kilpatrick's men came
on them and would have captured them all , but for Lieuto
Ed . Hayth. He hurriedly formed them in line, as soon as he
saw the enemy approaching and charged them and drove them
back
Hayth then hurried on and overtook us and informed us
of the enemy 's advance , so we took our position ~ behind a
rock fence
When Kilpatrick's men advanced , they came up
through a corn field , so we had to s hoot considerably a t
random an d their firing on us was about the same way .
One
of our men by the name of Chaso Cross, from Lynchburg, was
accidently killed by one of :~·our pieces of artillery, and Capt .
Breckinridge sent word back to the gunne rs that they must
aim higher, and just as the messenger, William Craddock , got
to where young Cross was killed, he was shot by the Yankees
and died that nightD

These were the on ly two men we lost.
We left the fence
and charged the enemy and drove them back, but didn ' t
capture any of them o
The next
· · we heard of the enemy was that Gen . Meade
was concentrating his forces in Culpepper Co . , preparing to
advance on Richmond. Gen. Lee then moved with his army
toward Cu lp epper, Co H. , to check Meade.
He sent Stewart 's

the enemy back.
When we crossed the river the enemy opened fire ori us
with three or four pieces of arti ll ery and th e first ball
that was fired cut Sergeant McCabe ' s l eg off and th e ball
went on through his horse and killed it instantly.
We soon

went on thro~gh his horse and killed it instantly. We soon
saw that our only chance was to dismount and charge the
enemy on foot. When we got near the artillery they began
to fall back and never halted until they got to Stensburg,
about two miles distant. Here they opened fire on us again
and we laid down in a mill race, to get out of range and
sight of the enemy .
I was very warm , having wal ked the two
miles in double quick time and h ad to lie ln that spri~g
water for about three hours until reinforcements arrived.
When the infantry got within about 200 yards we were ordered
to charge the artillery, which we did, but when t h ey saw o~r
reinforcements corning they began retreating to Brandy Station.
We fol~owed them expecting them to make a stand agai~ ~ut
they did not.
They continued to retreat until they JOined
the main army .
We camped near Brandy Station that night ~
and the next morning I was unable for service. My rest in
that spring wa t er had given me a case of congestion of the
livero Ke B. Stoner was sent to take me back to Orange C.
H. , I wasn ' t ab l e to go alone.
After going a coup l e of miles a citizen told u~ of a
near w~y by going through his corn field and on out in ~
cross road , that led to the main road 1 Just after getting
into the corn field I was riding a little ahead while Stoner
laid up the fence and to my great surprise one of Gen.
Pleasenton ' s couriers came galloping up.
I drew my pistol
and ordere d him to surrender, which he did without a wordo
When we got through the field and to the next house, the
man of the house told us it wasn ' t safe to go farther
because h e had seen a scouting party go that wayo He told
us another near route back to Lee's headquarterso
We arrived t here in due time and stayed all night and
they to l d us where to find the command . We at last reached
them and turned our prisoner over to the provost guard, and
made a second start for Orange C. H.
I hadn ' t eaten anything
for a coup l e of days and would get so sick every f ew miles
that I ' d have to get off and li e on the ground awhile and
try it again. A£ter two days riding and resting along, we
reached camp and you may know I was glad to get backo I was
sick for a week or so and every thing remained quiet for some
time.
This was nearing fall and we soon began fixing up winter
quarters. We tented in a heavy piece of timber and built a
wind brake back of the encampmento We had built log huts for
winter quarters before this, but just lived in our tents the
winter of '63 as we were expecting to have to move at any
timeo
Nothing occurred during the winter to break our rest.
We kept up picket duty, of course, and had fairly good rations,
principally corn bread and pork with some beef . The country

had been so over~run that we couldn't expect to fare as well
as we had previously a
We broke camp the early part of march and moved to
Fredericksburg. Thi evening we started, after we had
saddled up we were waiting for further orders and about
half of th~ boys lay down by the wind brake and went to
sleep. The horses were all hitched around, ,just where we
had kept them all wintera Some of the boys thought things
were too quiet, so they slipped around and set fire to the
dry pine brush of the wind brake, and such a scare as the
fellows had when they waked upo The men jumped and some ran
off without their guns or pistols~ and every little while
the f±re ~would burn over one and it would fire away .
The
horses then got scared and we had a general awakening.
Some of the. boys used Sunday words, lavishly, I'll tell you.
If they could only catch the fellow- ~ho set the brush, was
the cry; but catching him was the thing .
Every fellow was
perfectly innocent, of courseQ
At about 8 o ' clock at night we had orders to march
toward Fredericksburg. As the roads were bad, the wagons
made poor time, so we didn ' t get there until the next day.
As soon as we arrived a detail was made from all the
companies to send men down to help draw a seine.
I got
permission to ride about some and took one of the roads made
by the infantry the year before , when the battle was fought
there o I heard a man cursing at the top of his voice and
I went to him and his wagon had upset with a load of £.sh.
I
helped him turn his wagon back and to reload his fish and
he was very grateful for my he l p, so much so , that he gave
me a dozen fine hickory shad.
I strung my fish up and hung
them to my saddle and started on toward the fishing , and
directly I heard my man yelling and cursing and I rode back
to find his wagon upset again and every fish on the ground
I helped him load up again ~nd he gave.me anothe: dozen. My
hands and clothes were considerably soiled by this time so
I dec i ded to go back with himo He was going to the camp wirh
the fish, so I helped him on out o f the woods.
Every time
the wagon would strike the roots of the trees the fish would
slip first to one side of the bed and then the other and by ,
both of holding and watching we kept them from upsetting
the wa g on again . When I got back our quarter-master had
issued f i sh to the men, so with my extra 2 dozen, we had a

REMINISCENCES OF A CONFEDERATE SOLDlER
CHAPTER IV .

FOURTH YEAR OF THE WAR .

We remained at that camp until the morning of the 4th of
May, when we tore down our tents and started to Spottsylvania
C. H.
When we got there we were ordered out to take a place near
Todd ' s Tavern , where we were ordered to fortify .
In a few hours Gen . Sedwick, with the 19th army corps marched
againsed us . A desperate fight ensued . We fought from behind
our log fortifications; he charged again and again during the_
whole day , but we continued driving him back . Our loss was light,
as we were well fortified, but the ground over which they charged
was left blue with their slain. Gen . Ulysees Grant had already
been appointed commander-in-chief of the Yankee forces and was
now in Spottsylvania Co . His motto was "never to give up" so
he reinforced Sedgwick the next day with another army corps, which
meant 30 , 000 or 40 , 000 men . The first day I receipted for 100
rounds of ammunit i on and shot it all and the next day for 115
and used all that the 2nd day . The others all did about the same.
They had removed t he dead during the night and charged over the
same ground all of the second day . We held our same position
behind the fortif i cations and lost very few men , but the ground in
front of us was blue with the poor boys in blue, again by night
fall .
We left a strong force at the fortifications during the
night , but a part of us went into camp near by.
We went back to our position in the morning of the 3rd day
and the Yankee ' s had moved their dead, but were reinforced and
ready to charge us again and continued until about the middle of
the day.
One of our Bedford boys "Lil" Johnson, looked over the
fortifications and was shot through the head and killed ~nstantl y.
Another fellow Creed Hubbard was killed by a bullet passing through
the fortifications.
Chas. Price, Newt. Shaver and I we re side by
side as we had been for three days firing at the enemy, when
another bullet came through the fortifications and struck Newt.
in the breast and he fell dead, as we thought.
I put my hand
into his bosom to see if we could stop the bullet wound from
bleeding and found there wasn't a particle of blood. He had just
been stuned so we soon revived him with water, and just then one
of our couriers came in sight and was killed. Some one ran up to
him and found a dispatch in his hand ordering us to fall back . .
Our breastworks had caught on fire at the extreme ends of our line

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 28

and our men had already been ordered back, but we were the last
to receive the order.
The enemy was pressing ha rd er , of course, and just as we
started back, after our breastworks had caught on fire, Chas.
Price took Newt's gun to carry and I took his arm to help him,
as he was still weak from the shock and a bullet struck him
in the arm, that was locked in mine. We had to leave our dead
men at the breastworks to burn . I only saw the two right near
me, in fact they were about 3rd or 4th man from me, but of
course, there .were others all along the line .
Still our loss
was very meager, compared to the enemy . We fell back until we
reached Gen. Lomax's breastworks . When we crossed over and laid
down, I told Newt I wanted to find out why that first ball
that struck him didn't enter his body and I asked him what he
had in his pocket . He said he had the bible that his mother
gave him, when he left home .
I looked and found the bullet more
than half way through the little bible.
So it had saved his
life.
·
turned him over to the ambulance corps to be cared for.
The enemy's whole line of battle followed us, but only the sharpshooters came in sight. We waited for the line to appear to
open fire, but as they didn't, Col. Munford ordered our sharpshooters to re-cross the breastworks and charge the enemy who
was hiding behind the trees and firing oc-asionally .
I

Edward Brugh, of Co. C., 2nd VA Cavalry, who was comm anding
us, ordered us to advance and try to keep the trees between us
and the enemy as much as possible. Just as I got to a large tree
a man behind it fired at Brugh who was behind another tree to
my right, and shot him through the lung .
I ran around the tree
expecting to get him, but he had dodged behind another tree and
I didn't get a shot at him .
Lieut. Hayth was put in Brugh's
stead and we followed on a drove them nearly to our breastworks
that had been burned.
I was in the front line and just as we
were ordered to halt, I saw a Yankee officer lying dead, as I
thought, with his head between two small shrubs.
I went to him
and saw that he was shot through the head and thought from his
appearance that he might have money, so I examined his pockets
and found none, but found a splendid silver watch.
One of Co .
K's men was with me and he said: "Peck, I am going to take his
boots, he'll never need them again." Just as he aimed to pull
one off, the man kicked him and sent him a couple of somersaults.
I looked and saw that our men had gotten some distanc e back
toward our breastworks, so we started back in double quick time,
I'll tell y ou .
The enemy's skirmish line began firing on Bnd we ran at
full speed. I carried the watch in my hand, so if I was shot I
could throw i t away.
I didn't want them to kill or capture me
with a dead Yankees property on my person. We didn't overtake
VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 29

our men until we crossed the breastworks, and we crossed right
where Capt. James Breckinridge was and laid down by his side.
He said to me: " The boys thought you were either killed or
captured as you didn ' t get back with them ." I then showed him
the watch and told him of my hunting for money and finding it .
Capt . B . took the watch and looked at it and saw that it belonged to Col . E . L. Sindler, of the 1st Vao V. S . Caval ry.
Col . Munford said he knew the man well ; had gone to school with
him at West Point, and had been his class-mate and graduated
with him.
Capt . B . wanted to tr ade me a gold watch for it,
and I sent the gold watch home , and he carried Col . Sindler ' s
watch until he was killed at the battle of Five Forks.
.
It wasn't long until night-fa l l , so ·the enemy let us rema~n
in camp until morning . We arose early and the infantry had
arrived by this time, and we fortified , expecting them to do
the fighting and we cou l d look on . The infantry had been in
camp nearer Richmond and didn ' t get to us in time to share our
three days fight .
Gen . Lee ordered us out near where our breastworks had
been burned , to bring on the f ight, but before we got that far
the enemy , hiding in the timber, fired on us and killed Capt.
Breckinridge ' s horse, known to us as "Bull Locust. " We retreat ed so they would come out in the field and follow us
nearer to the breastworks where we could have a chance at them
and the infantry opened fire on them. Just at this time Col.
Munford received a dispatch from Gen . J. E. B. Stewart, that
Sheridan , who had been fighting in the southwest was advancing
on Richmond with 15,000 men and 90 pieces of artillery,
pr i ncipal ly parot guns. Munford ordered us to follow him in
a gallop, which we did.
We halted after gal l oping about twe l ve miles, when we were
nearing Sheridan ' s rear . He was in a country where a great deal
o~ broom sage grew and to keep us from overtaking him he ha~
fired the country for miles . We rushed ri ght through the fi re
singing our eye-brows and our horses manes and tails , but suc ceeded in coming on his rear and a l so getting a portion o f our
army in front of him at a place near Beaver Dam.
As Sheridan had so much larger fo rce of men and equipments
than Stewart, we had to give way at sBveral points, to protect
ourselves , but when we got to Yellow Tavern, about 9 miles
from Richmond , Stewart determined to make a stand and save
Richmond . Stewart rode in fron t of his line and told us that
Richmond's destiny l ay at our hands; that in three more miles
Sheridan could reach the Heights from which we coul d throw
Greek fire from the paro t guns and s h e ll the town. Richmond
houses were pr incipally covere d with shingle roofin g at that

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 30

time and not so many brick buildings , ~nd as the parot guns
could throw a shell 6 miles, an~ whe~ it struck it would explode and throw fire in every d1rec~1on , it would have been
an easy and short take to have set 1 t all on fire . We had
come experience with Greek fire and_knew what it was to
extinguish it . It was a very dry time, too, but a cloud
arose and just as the battle be¥an t~e cloud reached us and a
dreadful storm followed . The lightning and cannonading were
so terrific, that sometimes we_couldn~t tell the flashing
of one from the other . The rain was Just pouring and often
the ammunition would get so wet , as we were loading our guns ,
that they wouldn ' t fire .
The Penn cavalry made a desperate ~harge and took three
of Stewart ' s artillery guns . ~tewar~, with his 1st Va. regiment ,
the one that he had gone out with, aimed to retake the guns,
and one of the Penn. cavalry , who had gotten out into our lines
before falling back and saw Stewart a~d recognized him , I
suppose , fired and mortally wounded him. We didn ' t get the
g uns but we held Sheridan back and saved Richmond .
The battle
only lasted something more than an hour, but in that short
time we had lost one of our bravest and best men, Gen o J. E .
Stewart.
0

We fought nearly the whole ~ime in a down-pour of rain
the
loss was heavy on both sid~s , but we fe l t the los s of
and
our leader more than all of the privates, at this time , when
the enemy was doubling in on us from all sides .
Sheridan was not easily defea~ed, we only spoiled one plan
for him to make another to reach Richmond; that was to go down
and cross th e Chichahominy at Meadow Bridge . He began that
movement as he fell back from Yellow Tavern.
Our pickets that evening and night found that he was moving in that direction , so we were ordered to move down and
form a line of battle south of ~eadow Bridge .
The Chickahominy
was very much swollen by the rain the day before and it was out
over the swamps about waist deep on a man .
We were right at the bank of the river and saw so many
large turtle s , watching for bugs or anything that might be
floated. We soon looked out ac ross the river that had spread
a mil e or more over the swamp, and saw a number of objects that
looked no larger than many of the turtles, advancing in regular
line.
I told the boys that I believe~ that was Yankees wading in
the water and trying to make us believe they were turtl es .
The
other boys all thought they were turtles, though.

VIRGINIA APPLACHlAN NOTES

�Page 31

I was right in the road that crossed the bridge and had a
good view, and felt sure they were men we saw and not turtles.
So I called up to Lieut . McGruder to come down and investigate
the matter .
He hadn't much more than reached me, before these
men in the water opened fire on us and killed McGruder while
talking to me.
The Yankees were armed with Spencer rifles and it made no
difference how wet they got the water couldn't penetrate the
powder.
They had stooped down until only their heads· were
above water, where it wasn't deep enough to hide them, and when
they were yet about fifty yards out from the river in the
swamp timber, they fired on us , killing several men of our
skirmish line and the Lieut .
We were ordered to fall back over the crest of a little
hill south of us, in double quick time. We had a very brave
Irish Sergeant , who said he'd never run, and as we were going
~ack in double quick time, the Capt. said to him:
·
"Paddy, I thought you ' d never run. "
He said : "Ah, Capt . It is shust this wayo Those d---d
rascals have played turtle on us and it is better for a fellow
to be a coward f or a few minutes, .. than a corpse for the rest
of his l ife.
Let the d---d rascals come our of the water loike
min , and I ' ll foight them until hell freezes over and and thin
I ' l l foight thim on the ice."
We fell back to our regular l ine of battle and arti llery and
when they came out of the water we ruched up to the top of the
hill with our arti ll ery and charged them, driving them back
through the river with heavy slaughter.
Gen . Stewart, who had been taken to his brother-in-law's
home in Richmond, and was gradual l y growing worse, heard the
cannonading and asked what it meant. They told him that Sheridan
was aiming to cross at Meadow Br idge, and that FitzLee and Wade
Hampton were holding the ford . Stewart's reply was: "If Fitz
Lee is there with th e Vao cavalry, Richmond is safeo" These
were the last words he spoke, that any one could understand.
I ' l l tell you it did our sad hearts good to know that the man
we had fought with that long, had that confidence in us and that
we could be among hi s last thoughtso
At about two o ' clock the water had run down considerably ,
and some of us crossed to see if we could . locate Sheridan's
movementso Scouting parties were sent in every direction and
we soon found that he had retreated in the direction of the
White House on the York River.

I would like to mention is the matter of p zying due s

:for the year 1932".

There ar·e about 30 members who have not pa id :fo r

that yea r 2s yet and I understand they were given copies
latte r se~t o:1 t

by our secret ary - t reasurer.

o~

a general

Of course such membe rs ere

not delin~uent as yet but it is desired t h at they be pai d as ecrly a s
pos·sible.

If for any reason you are £_ot able to pay them now the

secreta ry-treasurer would ~p pre icatexl\note from you expl ~ ining ycu.r
situaaion so that when the proper time comes he c 8 n p l aoe your c2se
am
gefore the executive committee. IAsure our officers are all men who
unde rs tand existing conditions and th~t they will be very reasonable
in considering litUCh cases.

You understand tha.t those who pe.icl , or

are ~e~uired to pay, dues for 1932 do not have to pay dues for 1933.

This rule was made

oy

our executive committ ee bec Luse we did not

have a regular annual meet ing in i 932.

However,

the secret£ ry-

treas u rer has been author i zed to collect dues for next ye5r but they
will not be peyable until January l, 1~34.

"I will

now ask the Robinson Singers to giv.e us a selection."

nour secret a ry - treasurer wi l l give us a report on the
of our division.

The follo"ving pages contain a listing of African Americans living in Northwest
Roanoke City. The purpose of the list is unknown. It is possible that this is the
membership of some fraternal organization since consecutive dates are listed,
perhaps to be checked off for the payment of dues. This list was prepared by J.
Lewis Majors who resided with is wife, Martha, at 324 Gilmer Ave., N\V. T he
type-script was prepared by Mr·s. J. M. Wa1·reo, a clerk at the Norfolk a nd
Western office located at 918 Norfolk Ave., S.W.

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of one of our loyal
contributors to the V.A.N. E. Elizabeth (Libbie) Spoelma passed away on

January 26, 2009. At her memorial service on January 31 , 2009 her
daughter read one of Libbie's stories from the V.A.N. as a eulogy. Her
endearing, sweet stories about growing up in Roanoke will greatly be
n1issed in these pages.
From Libbie's funeral bulletin:
When life seems dark and empty
and there's no hope in sight
look for God to send an angel
to guide you toward the light.
-When God Sends an Angel (2007, Pg. 4)

study of genealogy. Our newsletter will be only as
good as our membe rs make it because it is dependent

Dear Fellow Members,
Seems like I just wrote a president's letter and here it is almost Christmas!! This is the
time of year to see family and friends and it can also be great time to add to your family
history. W hy not ask older family members about their childhood holidays. What
traditions did they have? Were special foods served? If you are part of "the older
generation" consider writing these things down for your children and grandchildren.
If you do decide to do some writing you might be thinking about a new word processing
program. Perhaps you're using an older version of Microsoft Office and don 't want to
spend the money to upgrade to a newer version. Open Office might be just what you
are looking for. It's a free program that looks and acts very much like Microsoft so
there's not much of a "learning curve". It reads Microsoft Word documents so anything
you've saved in that format is still useable. The program can be downloaded at:
www.openoffice.org
An other free program that might be helpful with those holiday photos is a program
called Gimp. My husband tested this program and pronounced it as good as Photo
Shop for editing photos. Maybe you'd like to correct or enhance some of those
impossible to replace shots. It's available at: www.gimp.org/downloads On the
homepage are links to tutorials and help files. A Google search will turn up more
tutorials and online how-to videos. The program can be used to repair and enhance
older scanned photos.
Happy Holidays and Happy Hunting,

LETTER FROM THE MOUNTAINS
Fata/Accident 11ear Christiansburg-Shooting Affair in Pulaski County.
(Special Correspondence of the Daily Index)
Montgm'y White Sulphur Springs, August 20, 1871
A fatal accident occurred near Christiansburg on Friday last. Mr. Byrd Anderson proprietor
of a hotel in Blacksburg, and Mr. Wm. Hines, a carpenter r esiding near the Yellow Sulphur Springs,
were riding in a two-horse buggy and while going down a hill, one of the pole-straps of the buggy
broke, causing the horses to run off at full speed. Mr. Anderson jumped out and was badly bruised
about the face. Hines was violently thrown out, his head striking the ground with great force,
producing injuries from which be died, on the following morning, Saturday, at 3 o'clock.
Hines was a poor, but industrious m an, about 40 years of age, and leaves a wife and six small
child ren to mourn bis untimely death. He and Andrews bad been to the I ndian Show, which gave a
performance in C hristiansburg that day, and it is said they were both intoxicated at the time of the
accident. By the by, this so-called " Indian Show," now travelling through the country, is the greatest
humbug of the age.
Since writin g the above, I learned from persons on the train, that a man named Charlton had
a personal difficulty, today (Sunday) with a man named Thomas, near Pepper's Ferry, in Pulaski
county, (near Central Depot.) Thomas was shot twice by Charlton, and is supposed to be mortally
wounded. I have no particulars at present.
Our crowd of visitors continues to increase, and this place has already regained its former
splendid reputation. We are to have a tournament about the 151 of September-preparations are now
being made.
Yours in haste, Barry Scratch

Remembering Dr. John Henry Pinkard
By E. Elizabeth Spoehna

I remember hearing my father saying, 'There goes Dr.
Pinkard!' when our cars passed on the city streets. I knew
he was a Black man because I could see him sitting on the
front seat of his car beside the chauffeur. He sometimes sat
on the back seat but I never saw him driving the car. I knew that he was called
" the herb doctor' or 'the yarb doctor' and that many people, both Black and
White, took his homemade tonic, which be sold from his drug store on Salem
Avenue. They said the tonic cured their ills and made them feel well and
stronger.
My mother was taking a medicine that she said was Dr. Pinkard's ton ic.
I don't know when she started taking the tonic but I do know she was taking it
while she was pregnant. The pregnancy seemed normal and everything was
going well untiJ time for delivery. She went to Roanoke City Hospital, now
Carilion Hospital. Dr. Saunders, her doctor, was concerned about how much
weight she had gained and how large she was.
When it was dark and past my bedtime, I was f rightened because my
Daddy hadn't come home. Our cousin, who was taking care of me, tried to
reassure me. She kept telling me everything was all right and if I would just go
to bed and go to sleep, my Daddy would soon be home. I think I cried myself to
sleep. In the morning, I was told that Mother would have to stay in the hospital
for a while and that my baby brother did not live. Frightening news for a four
year old.
Mother was a very small woman. I was told when I was older that the
baby weighed thirteen and one half pounds and was nineteen inches long. It is
a miracle that Mother lived. Mother's friends and our relatives, especially the
older ones, blamed Dr. Pinkard's tonic for the large baby, the baby's death and
the difficult de!ivery.
The tonic, of course, did not cause any of these problems. In 1923, the
doctors did not have the knowledge or the technology that is available today.
Mother's friends and our relatives couJd have just as well said that perhaps n.-.
Pinkard's tonic gave Mother the strength to survive the difficult time she had
with the birth of the baby.

Yearbooks, A Rich Resource
By Pamela Young
The Yearbooks, I think, are one of the best resources we have in the Virginia Room.
When we give tours we always ask if anyone's parents/grandparents grew up in Roanoke.
It's wonderful when they find relatives. The yearbooks we have are all from donations.
The Virginia Room is very lucky to have patrons who look out for yearbooks for us. The
Virginia Room is a great reunion destination. Oh, the treasures you 'll find! Below is a
li st of what we have. If you or someone you lmow has a Roanoke yearbook lying around
we'd love to give it a good home. Every new resow·ce enriches the collection making the
Virginia Room even more valuable to genealogists, students, and historians.
We welcome your donations!

From the Petersburg Index Newspaper, Petersburg, Virginia
Februa·r y 9, 1867
Sad accident in Salem _ The Roanoke Times of Tuesday chronicles the foil owing
sad, but singular, (indeed to those who do not understand the "pavements" of
Salem and their "bottoms" most mysterious) tragedy:
"Last Saturday afternoon, Miss Letitia Smithley, daughter of our esteemed
fellow-citizen, Jonathan Smitbley, attempted to visit a school acquaintance upon
"High Street" - owing to the late thaw, the sidewalk had lost its bottom - and as
she attempted to pass from the jail corner to Mr. Palmer's gate, the pavement
gave way, and with piercing screams she rapidly sank from view. Some of our
citizens made almost superhuman efforts to rescue her from her terrible fate but
in vain. The condition of the sidewalks were such that despite every effort, life
was entirely extinct before she could be brought to the surface of the earth. We
understand that some of Mr. Smithley's friends intend having a judicial
investigation, and if so, we fear that some criminality may in this matter be
brought home to our corporation authorities. We earnestly hope that by prompt
action they will prevent a recurrence of so terrible a tragedy."

REMINISCENCES OF A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER
Of Co. C. 2nd Va. Cavalry
By R. H. Peck ,
Fincastle, Va.
CHAPTER :I.
In the year 1859 at Fincastle, Va., I enlisted with a
company called "The Botetourt Dragoons." This company was
composed of 106 men, ready and willing to defend their country
when called upqn . Our officers were as follows : Andrew L .
Pitzer, Capt.; Wm. -A. Glasgow , 1st Lieut.; Wm. Price, 2nd
Lieut.; and Ja:s. :R. Thompson, Orderly Serg . Our first Serg .
was Edward Brugh, second Serg. Wm . Garret and third Serg,
Thomas McClu~e. Our first Corporal was Wil l iam A. McCue,
2nd Corporal Robert Rieley and 3rd Corporal Geo. Peck.
We were called out by our captain for drills and
parades usual ly on Sat. Our uniforms were navy blue with
yellow trimmings. We had general musters once each year.
we were invited to Buchanan, Salem and other points.
On our march to Salem we lined up in front of Hollins
Institute and called on Prof. Cocke for an address which
he gave in his usual pleasant manner and finished it b y inviting us to dine with h~m on our return. Capt . Hupp's Battery
of Salem , and Capt . Dierl y 1 s Infantry of Roanoke, met us
there.
Col. Robert Preston, of Blacksburg, addressed the
companies, also Capts Hupp , Pitzer and Dierly.
All this was
enjoyed, but not so much as the time spent with P:of . ~oc~e .
on our return three days later. We received genuine Virginia
hospitality, such as we longed for many times in the four
years which followed.
As the John Brown raid had already occured we soon found
that our service must be for defence and not only for
practice. South Carolina, Mississippi and several other states
had already seceded from the Union and when Abraham Lincoln
called out 70,000 men to coerce the states, the majority of
our men wanted to go to Manassas Junction to protect our
captiol, Richmond. We were called first to Lynchburg for
drilling and future orders.

FIRST YEAR OF THE WAR. '

We remained at Lynchburg one month guarding the two

On June 10th
Capt. Terry with Co's A and B went on to Manasses Junction
while we of Co. C with Co . D were ordered out June 17th.
'
m~gazines

Our first stop was at Rockfish Station where we camped
out for the night, and our second night was spent at new
Glasgow. We reached Charlottesville by noon the next day and
spent the night near Orange C. H .
The next day found us at
Culpepper C~ H. by noon and night overtook at Warrenton Springs .
We reached Manasses Junction by night f~ll of th e next day .
We moved on to Fairfax C. Ho the following day and found Gen .
Bornem commanding the first Sou.th Carol i na Brigade, s tationed
there. Here we . pitched our tents on Sat. eve and on Sunday
a. m. a part of our Co was sent out on a scout and two of
our men, Calvin Garret and Joseph Robinson , were captured
by the New York Zouaves. We remained at Fairfax C. H . unti l
the 17th of July and I was sent with fourteen other men
commanded by Serg Garret, three miles be l ow Farifax C .
on the Falls Church road to stand picket, and at 9 o ' clock
a. m. we found that McDowell was moving on Manassas Junction
by three roads, via.: Falls Church road, Little River
turnpike, and Flint Hi ll road . Serg . Garret returned to
notify the General of McDowell ' s movemen~ , but the Geno had
already learned f r om other pickets , of his advance , so he
ordered the army to retreat immediately. As Serg . Garret
did not return to us Corporal McCue sent me back 3 miles
to Fairfax Ca H., and when I arrived our Adjt. told me of
the retreat and from there I cou ld see Col. Kershaws regiment
already engaged wi th the enemy , so I had ~o return to notify
the other pickets to join the command, wh ich.we could onl y
do by a flank movement and came very near being c ut off entirely
by the enemy. When I returned I found !ha~ two of our pickets
on the Flint Hi ll Road John Mays and Willi am Maller had
been captured
We continued our retreat to Centerville and
remained there until night. Gen . Beauregard's p l an was to
throw sky rockets to let us know when to retreat further
towards Manassas Juction and whe n we cal l ed in the last
pickets, we were fired upon by the enemy and two of our
horses were killed from under their riders, Edward Hayth and
William Walton.

During ~he night, we marche~ across the B~ll Run at Mitchel's

g~ns , at Manasses Junction. We were awakened n ext morning by th~e
fire1ng of one of the enemy's guns called "Lon g Tom." As this

�Page 161

was the first big gun I had seen fired , I remember well the
appearance of that shell to me . It looked more like a gatepost flying through the air than any thing else I could compare
it to. After hissing through the air about a mile it exploded
and I to l d the boys I knew it had blown Manassas to " kingdom
come" and she would need no more protect i on.
It wasn ' t man y
days after this though , u nt i l we became more accustomed to the
big guns , so we didn't jump at such h asty conc lusions and the
fireing wasn't so exciting or terr i fying .
I hadn ' t seen much
of the infrantry until that day and when they began double
quicking and crossing Bul l' s Run at Mitche l l's Ford in order
to meet the enemy, I imagined we had men enough to whip the
North right there.
At 9 o'clock on the 18th, the two armies met and for two
hours a raging battle fol l owed and when the Southerners made
a charge a l l along the l i ne , they drove the enemy back with
considerab l e slaughter, i nto the timber back of the lowl ands,
where the batt l e was fought , and they remained there until
Sunday, with " Long Tom'' occasional l y sa l u t ing us o
Our line
of battle extended from Blackburn ' s Ford up nearly to Stone
Bridge, a distance of 10 miles .
Sunday morning a t about 8 o ' clock Long Tom began firing
and we all thought the enemy meant to renew the attack, but
about 9 o ' c l ock, we heard fireing at S t on e Bridge about six
mi l es above Manassas Juction .
The cava l ry was immediately ordered to make a force march
to Stone Bridge and when we got there we found that the 8 th
Georgia Regiment , commanded by Col. Hunt i ngton, in trying to
ho l d the fo r d had lost near l y a l l their men and t heir commander .
The 2nd Va. Regiment arrived to go to their rescue , but failed
on account of the thick pines . About this time Jackson came
in and with Gen . Bee and others turned defeat into victory.
Gen . Bee rushed to Jackson and ~aid " General they are beatin g
us back . " and Jackso n said "we wi ll give th e m the bay o~et ."
Gen. Bee encou:aged by Jackson ' s response shouted to his me n :
Look !
there is Jackson and his men standing like a stone
wal l ." He was ever afterward cal l ed "Stonewall Jackson".
Gen . Bee was killed in a few minutes a fter mak ing t h e
remark to his men . The enemy, under McDowell's comma nd ,
was driven back with dreadfu l slaughter to Washing ton .
As we of th e 2nd Vao regiment were unabl e to get to St one
Bridge to aid in the batt l e there and were i n a dangerous
position, being between the fires of both armi e s , Gen .
Beaureguard ordered us to the rear. Jus t a t t h a t time Gen .

Beaureguard ' s headquarters and took c ommand, h e being a
senior o f fic e r . He inunediately sent a cou r ier t o Col. Radfo r d

to halt the 2nd Va. Cavalry. Col. Radford told the courier
to go to the D-- that he was acting under Beauregaurd's
orders . We we re not aware of Johnston being near , but as soon
as Johnston saw we didn ' t halt.he ga llop ed down and shouted
"In the name of Jos. F. Johnston I command you to halt . "
Of course, it wasn't any trouble for Col . Radford or his men
to halt, then.
He commanded us to cross Bu ll Run and go toward Cub Run
Bridge to intersect the enemy's line as it passed on retreat
and to shoot all the horses drawing the artillery and wagons '
There being 1,000 of us, we held the road for nearly a mile ·
coming on their right flank and being so near before they
'
knew it that we succeeded in capturing 24 pieces of artillery
and the men commanding same. The road was lined with dead
horses for nearly a mile, a sight no one would want to witness
again, but we were only carrying out orders .
Our captain ordered the fences to be pulled down and 3
other men and I dismounted and tore them down on both sides
When we mounted we happ e ned to loo lc to our le ft and saw a
·
house with a crowd of men standi~g around a well .
I proposed
to these three comrades that we could go up and fill our
canteens as it was a hot day. When we arrived, there were
60 or 70 of the finest looking men I ever saw, about middleaged and finely aressed . More gold-headed canes , gold glass es
and gold teeth than I had ever seen before o~ that number of
men. We asked them to fi ll our canteens, which they did and
just as they filled the last canteen, one of the men said .
to us that our command was retreating and I road around the
house to where I could see our line and it had passed nearly
out of sight. Just then two guns that we h~dn't captured with
the other 24 pieces of ar till ery, and a reg 1man t of infantry
also, opened fire on our regiment, ~nd Capt. Radford of 2nd
Va. reg iment and Serg . Ervin were killed and several others
wounded.
Just as we four men arrived to rec:o~s the road, a cannister
of grape shot passed down th e road strik1n¥ two of our ho rses .
We rode on about a half mile under heavy fire, but they were
over shooting us just stripping the leaves from the trees
when one of the horses fell d e ad from his wound and the other
une was still running on three legs.
I took the saddle from
the dead horse and carried it on my horse that was called the
"Flying Arti llery" and wouldn't carry two men, and another
comrade took the rider of the horse that was killed.
We overtook our regiment just as they were ready to recross
Bull Run, and were held in re~diness the rem~inder of the day,
but no order for action was given and near ni ght fall marched
back to our camp ground of the proceeding night.

Just after dark a heavy rain began and continued all night
and about half the next day, so we were thoroughly drenched
by this time. Shortly after day break we started toward
Centerville and our skirmish line captured several prisoners
on the way. We moved very cautious l y through .the woods in the
downpour of rain, thinking the enemy was · at Centerville. But
instead of the enemy being at Centerville , we found the homes
deserted .
Tab l es were set with the most delicious victoals,
f ine drinks , etc, having been prepared for a general jubilee
after the supposed victory. Some of the houses were locked,
but the majority were so that we could easily enter and some
of the owners soon returned, so we enjoyed a bountiful repast
that was intended for the northern soldiers . After the victory
at Stone Bridge and the capture of the artillery at Cub Run
Bridge, as they were retreating , the enemy rushed on to
Washington panic-stricken. Had we realized the condition of
the enemy then, as we afterward knew it to be we could have
pursued them and easily captured them, but we'didn't know
the conditions .
We remained at Centerville until about 4 olclock, when we
began our mar~h to Fairfax C. H. , arriving there about night.
The next morning we sent out scouting parties and videttes on
all the roads and marched on to Fal l s Church and put out our
pickets, some of them nearly in sight of Washington . We
remained there several weeks and enjoyed the fruit of a 300
acre peach orchard. Finally a division of infantry was sent
to Mason Heights, wh ich they captured without any great lo ss
and a few days later Munston ' s Heights were taken in the same
way. From the Heights the city of Washington could be seen,
but the distance was too great for any bombardment. We moved
camp about this time and when we got to our new camp a terrible
rain and wind storm came up.,
It was a regualr equinoxial
storm . We hurr idly put up our tents and our Orderly Ser g.
cautioned us to ti e our horses well as it was so stormy o He
cautioned Marcus Ammen especially as he had an old ho-rse called
"Roachback" that was in the habit of breaking loose and rooting
around the tents to hunt for corn . William Harvey, Henry Payne
and McCaga Pitzer couldn~t s leep, as the wind was blowing so
dreadfully, so they got out and built a fire and cursed
everyting and everybody from Jeff. Davis down to Buckie Brugh ,
one of our company . Kent Stoner was sleeping wi th me and I
told him I'd give him my room and go out and help the boys
celebrate around the fire.
I reminded Kent of Basil Underwood ' s
sentence to death at the "Ringing of the Curfew,'' and how his
sweetheart said the "Cerfew shall not ring tonight, " and th a t
my motto for the present was that "Roachback must get loose
tonight . '' I went and unti ed Roachback and led him up t o
Albert Pitzers tent . The horse soon began rooting for t h e
corn and the orderly we nt out and soon recognized the horse
as Mr. Ammen ' s. He led the" horse down and hallowed : "Marcu s
! Marcus ! Mr . Ammen ! " And Marcus yelled back " h e l l o ! 11
Then he said "here is your horse that has gotten loose . You

�Page 164

must not tie him well . Come and I ' 11 show you how ."
an d t h ey b oth went back to bed.

He d id,

In a short time I led him up again and he began his search
for the corn . Pitzer rushed out and called Marcus again and
Marcus said "well d-- that horse."
He tied him again and I went then and talked to that
cu:sing crowd at the fire and when Ma:cus ~nd Pitzer got
quiet, I led Roach-back up for the third time .
Pitzer came
out yelling to Marcus that he must keep that horse tied.
Then
Marcus said curse wo rds thick and fast.
I thought I ' d had
enough f un out of the boys for that night do didn ' t untie the
horse any more.
Pitzer was always telling us to fall into line quickly so
the boys nicknamed him ' Quickly ." Marcus was very quiet f~r
awhile and presently he broke the silence by saying : "D- - 0 ld
Quickly! If he foo l s with me any more, I' 11 thrash him. 11 r
was afraid to go back into the tents f~r fear the boys would
suspect me of the mischief, so I slep in Capt . Pitzer ' s
headquarter wagon
It was midnight by the time Roach- back
got settled and the boys never knew unti l I told them, about
six-months later, that I had caused the fun and trouble that
stormy night.
0

The enemy then began forti~ying ~r~ington Height's and
bringing in troops to hold their position ? our men began
falling back toward Centerv i ll~ , but keeping our pickets out
about twenty mi l es toward Washington.
About October 1st the northerners began d riv ing in our
pickets, and Co l .. Kershaw, thinking it was a regu l ar advance
of the enemy sent me with a dispatch to Gen . Bornem at Fairfax
C. H
and he brought four regiments and the Washington
artillery to reinforce use The only man I ' v~ ever _had the
pleasure of meeting since the war that was wit h t~is Washington
artillery, from La., was B . T. ~als~e , Sr . ~ho s~ill lives in
La., but spends a part of his time in Vae with his son.
0

The enemy did not advance further so the troops just
remained together over nighto The next morni~g Gen. Bornem sent
an infantry sk irmish line out to go to the He i ghts , near
Lunenburg, and try and ascertain the position of _the enemy.
As I had been a courier for Gen . Bornem severa l t imes I got
permission to go with the skirmishers and left my horse at his
headquarters
The men how bad been killed t h e evening bedore
when the enemy was driving our pickets, had all been taken
'
away during the night, as we found none of them, but several
overcoats were founde Kershaw's men had seen the dead men the
evening before, l ying on the fields , but none of our men were
killed, as they were considerably above us and were overshooting

us all the time . We went as far as Lunenburg Heights and saw
no troops ahead of us, so we returned to Bornem's headquarters
and Bornem ordered his brigade back to Fairfax C. H . , and left
Col. Bacon ' s regiment , as picket. In three days I returned to
Fairfax and joined my regiment.
All was quiet for a few days, when a similar raid was made
and we were called out at 7 o ' clock p. m. and we tore down
our tents and loaded the wagons and sent them back to Centerville.
We were ordered to march about six miles to a little place
called Langley. Here we drew up in line of batt l e , every man
holding his horse, expecting an attack any moment and remained
there until day break . After day break scouting parties were
sent out in every direction, but no sign of the enemy could
be seen.
Bornem returned to Fairfax camp ground again. Co. C was
sent to the Difficult Run Turnpike and we began leaving
sentiment ' s on every road leading into this Turnpike, from
the north .
I was left 20 miles out from Langley, just after
dark . One other man from our Co . was left at the next road
above me, and from there pickets from another regiment guarded
the roads nearly to Leesburgo
In a short time after we were stationed a terrible thunderstorm came up and my horse became so unruly that I could hardly
control him at all . I soon saw by the lightning that there
was a man sitting at the foot of the tree under which my horse
was standing . I looked closely when the next flash of lightning came and recognized him, as a man by the name of Underwood
who had been our pilot on one of our scouting expiditions.
I
spoke to him and told him who I was and when and where I had
seen him , so he had to search him to see that he had no arms,
thinking he said , that I might think him a fake and shoot
him .
We enjoyed each others company all night, and next mor~ing
he went to a house nearby and got breakfast for me, also dinner
and supper for me and my horse. He certainly proved a friend
in need.
I was reli eved at about 5 o'clock that eve to return
to camp 20 miles distant. I soon reached camp as the horse
was tired standing so long, and I got a good r;st that night.
This I enjoyed you know as I had marched all night and all
day and then been put on picket duty for 24 hours, where no
one dared to sleep.
I was quiet and had an
next turn for picket duty,
twelve of us, commanded by
place called Hunter's Mill
but only had to serve four

easy time, for a soldier, until my
which was about a weeko Ten or
Serg . Brugh, were sent out to a
and stationed on different roads ,
hours until relieved .

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

At one o'clock the next day one of our men went out in
search of food for his horse and he had just bought a new hat
the day before and when he passed my post, I told him it was
da~gerous to go out beyond the picket post.
But he said
he was going , so I told him I hoped the Yankees would get
him and his new hat too. He hadn't been gone long until I
heard the firing of 30 or 40 guns .
I , of course , look ed
immediately in the direction of the firing and here came
the trooper, like a winged animal , without a bridle for his
horse or that new hat.
I .could see that the Penn . Bucktails
were pursuing him , so I notified Serg . Brugh and he sent me
to meeet Capt . Whitehead to prepare him for a line of battle,
but by the time Capt got to Serg . Brugh , we could see the
line of the enemy extended out of sight to right and left.
So we were ordered by Capt. Whitehead to r etreat, which we
did hastily but not until one of Capt . Whitehead 's men had
been killed.
0

The line of the enemy, we afterward found , extended
up to where our next picket stood. William Marks of our
Co. was wounded.
This occured in Fairfax County, and as winter was coming
on and we had a great many horses , Gen . J. Eo B. Stewart
·
made a raid into Loudon County to find provender for th e
horses. He took four or five hundred wagons, two brigades
of infantry, one of cavalry and a battery of arti ll ery,
commanded by Capt Cults of La. When we made our way as
far as Drinsville we encountered Gen. McCall , of the
northern army with a wagon train_ and ab?ut as many soldiers
as Stewart had with him making his way into the same county
and for the same purpose , we were .
0

The enemy opened on us with five pieces of artillery and
damanged our artillery so much , as we were so hampered only
one gun could be used at a time , that Capt . Cults was forced
to retreat from his position very soon.
Then the 11th Va. infantry was ordered to the front to
drive the enemy's artillery back , but were unable to do it .
The 11th Va. lost several men, one of whom, I remember was
Melv in Gibbs. Both armies remained in position until night
fall and were more than glad to get back to quarters with
our provender. Ne ither claimed to have conquered or to h ave
been conquered .
The next day I got permission to ride over the battle fie ld
from "Dan to Beersheba" and was returning , I saw a lady
beckoning to me from her home .
I went to her yard fence and
s~e told me there was a soldier there who was intox i cated.
I
dismounted and went in and to my great suprise, found it to
be a man of our regiment, from Co. I, of Campbell County,
by the name of Johnnie Woote n, (the man who sat back in his
whiskers, the boys called him) . I insist ed on his going to
VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 167

the camp with me, which he finally agreed to do . The Capt .
sent him to the guard house and the officer of the guard
made him walk for two hours with the sentinel, as his
punishment.
I had received a box from home that day , which was enjoyed
heartily by all the soldiers you know. After partaking of
its contents I was in the best of spirits. Any child could
have played with me then . I thought of poor Johnnie Wooten
on his two hours tramp and went out to share some of my
provision with h i m. I found him still paying his penalty
and gave him a ration.
I agreed to walk in h i s place while
he would go a few steps inside the encampment to eat his
supper. At this interval , the guard sent the chaplain out
to reprimand and advise Johnnie how to conduct himse l f in
the future . When he came up the sentinel halted him.
The
chaplain remarked that he wanted to talk to Johnnie and
as I was acting for Johnnie at that moment, I got the whole
reproof and lecture .
After we three walked together about ten minutes, the
chaplain asked me if I wouldn ' t promise to do better in the
future . And with my handkerchief over my face all the
time, to keep him from recognizing me I promised faithfully
to try. The chaplain went back very much gratified to know
that Johnnie had repented so earnestly .
As Johnnie , in reality , failed to get this reprimand,
as soon as he was released , went in search of his horse
which had strayed over to Co. C' s picket rope. He was
so provoked , he cut the picket rope, which was againsed
the rules , of course, and was immediately sent back to the
guard house .
We were next ordered to prepare winter quarters near
Stone Bridgeo About this time I was sick and was sent
to the hospital near Centerville. After recovering I came
back to the camp , having been absent about a month.
As it was near Xmas, now, W. S. Hines, one of our Co.,
had engaged eggs and cream for making "egg-nogg" . My horse,
the " Fly ing Artillery," was very restless, pawing continually,
and I remarked that I wished I had a long ride to take
on him and could give him the exercise he needed.
Hines told me I could ride for the cream and eggs. He
went to his tent and brought canteens enough to hold about
a gallon and a half. I started off and when I got to the
house, the lady remarked, as I gave her the canteens, that
"the man must expect to fatten his sick man." I told her
I expected he had several sick men he wanted to give cream
to, never hinting at "egg-no gg", you may knowo
I soon got
back to camp as the ground was covered with snow, my horse

slipped r~ght in a hole ma d e by the picket rope post and
turned a complete somersault , falling right on top of me
I whistled to the horse and he sprang up at once .
I
•
thought I was smashed up right this time and would certainly
get a furlough to go home. My brother-in-law and a
neighbor , A . A. Woodson , had come down to take me home from
the hospital, but before they arrived I was back on duty .
They were sti l l in camp with us when this o curred and my
first thought was wheather I ' d be able to get home .
r first
tried to move my right arm and it work~d alright, then my
left and it responded also . Then I tried both legs
thinking
some of the limbs were sure to fail to work , but to' my utt e r
astonishment, I wasn ' t hurt at all , only stunned . My first
remark was that any big headed soldier that wouldn ' t get hurt
by such a fal l as that ought never to get a furlough .
When I got into camp and told the joke on myself the boys
enjoyed it hugely .
The winter quarte r s were completed by this time s o we
broke camp and occupied them. ~nile we were.expecti~g to
enjoy the winter quarters, unlike Geo. Washington's men at
Valley Forge, as there was plenty of every thing to live
upon and we were all well c l othe d, we rece i ved orders for
half of the regiment and Col. Radford to move on to Leesburg .
Five of the higglers from our mess were ordered out , so
it only left John K. Young , Lewis Young and myself.
The
regimental quarter masteT, wagon master and several other
men offered to furnish the rations and pay the three left in
our mess to cook for them. My job w~s to notify them wh en
me als were ready and as these m~n had contro l of the rations
they also had contro l of the whiskey .
When I went for them the first time they drew t he bottle
fo r a social drink, all around. Pharoah ' s dream occurred
to me that moment how seven years of plenty must provide
for seven years of famine . S? while I ~ad that bottle at
hand r thought I' d j~st.keep it f o r a time of nee~ .
I
accordingl y slipped it into my coat pocket, unnoticed by
the other men. Every time I went for the men , I p l ayed the
same prank on their whiskey, as I knew ~he whiskey was
to be blockaded soon and we would need 1t fo r the boys when
they were sick. Afte r three or four days some of them said
to me that somebody was taking their whiskey while they were
gone to their meals and I told them I was next to a detective
to find such fellows and I'd soon locate him for them.
Co . Munford 's tent was next to these fellows and he had
a cook hostler and man servanta This servant was a boy of
about ~ixteen, by the name of Bil ly.
They all c alled him
Co l's cup-bearer o Well if ever there was a black boy he was

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 169

the one; so black until he was blue , and charcoal was ashamed
of itself by the side of him.
It just occurred to me how funny it would be to put
the blame of whiskey stealing on Billy , as I knew the Col.
would take care of him. On my next arrival they told me
I was right , they could tell that very nigger had gotten
their whiskey.
I continued like Joseph to lay up · for the
whiskey famine until the blockade occurreda After I ' d
gotten all they had and they couldn ' t treat me any more I
began treating them. There was a moonshiner a couple of
miles from camp and a man was going there to get whiskey
so I gave him $5o00 to get a canteen filled for the quarter
masters, fearing theirs would run out before the blockade
was raised , and the man came back saying he couldn ' t get it
for less than $10 . 00 a canteen. I told him he was crazy,
that I ' d bet I could get a canteen full for nothing and one
full of butter milk besideso He said I was a fool and he ' d
bet me $l00o I couldn ' t do it.
I took the bet and we staked
the money.
I had two Yankee canteens exactly alike and I filled
one with water and put a little whiskey on top , as you
know they won ' t u n iteo We both then went to the moonshiner
and I gave him the counter - sign . He knew by this that I
wasn't going_ to betray him.
I gave him the empty canteen
and he went into the cel l ar and filled it. When he came
out and gave it to me , I put it in my saddle pockets and
gave him_ $ S.O~o He held up his ten fingers, signifying that
I must give h i m more.
I told him I was buying it for a Co .
and they wouldn ' t hear to such figures as that, and I'd
just have to gi!e him h i s whiskey back until I could ~ee the
men but gave him my canteen of water with a litt l e bit
' i skey on top i. nstead of t he canteen of whiskey. He
of wh
gave me my $5 . 00 and t?ok the canteen and emptied it ~nto
his barrel.
I asked him to tel l his wife to please fill the
canteen with butter_milk, if she could spare it , which she
did , so I go t my whiskey and butter milk for which he'd
accept no pay , and I won my $1000 Of co~rse the moonshiner
lost nothing, but some fellow bought water in his whiskey
after thato
I wouldn ' t take the $100 . I had won, but we all
enjoyed the joke.
Soldiers have to resort to many jokes and pranks, to keep
up spiri t s, that they would never think of in private life .
We each took our trun picketing around Drainsville, a
small town on the Loudon and Leesburg Turnpike . We made many
friends in this sec t ion finding relatives of some of our
county peop l e . A whole company was sent out on picket for
a three day s period and we were given money to buy our ration
while out, so we rat her enjoyed the outing

It was a hard wi nter , but the 8th of March soon rolled
around and we were ordered to vacate winter quarters and go
to Richmond. The whole army did not go as Ewell was ordered
to Washi~gton Junctio n and half of the 2nd Va. Cavalry was
sent to keep up a vidette line from Manssas Junction to
Strasburg .
Company C. was among the ones sent and our first order
was to burn all the commissaries at Mans.ses. : Junction .
Then the next was at Haymarket . The next burned suplies
at Throoughfare Gap . At this point a great many hogs were
dr i ven every year and butchered and there was a large mill
which had cost $2 000 and was being used a s a packing house:
The citizens told us that 600 , 000 pounds of beacon was
stored in the building . We were ordered to burn this al so
which we did a nd when the lard ran out into the creek it
'
chilled and formed a dam across Broad Run . There was an
acre lot about covered with barrels of flour at the point
we had been getting our supp l ies from , and as i t was feared
the Yankees would get that a l so , we were ordered to knock
the barrels to p i eces and ·ride over t~e flour to.destroy
it.
I was bitteTly opposed to a l l this destruction but
we had to carry out orders. ~e also h~d orders to blow up
the big stone
around which the first batt l e of Manssas
was fought . It took 40 kegs of powder to destroy
It was destroyed in order to prevent the enemr from fo llowing
us, as it was the main thoroughfare from Washington to the
foot of the Blue Ridge .
We burned the depot also , destroying numbers of boxes
sent to the soldiers from home . We open ed t h e boxes and
got out any money th~t was in ~hem , ate what we could of the
provision; and took such clothing as we needed . We advanced
the money on to the boys . We had to burn Loudon Station
also, just on top of the Blue Ridge , and the ~ast was at
Front Royal. The boxes at both of the~e stations w~re
ordered opened and , of course , we receiv~d so~e benifit from
them but not near so much as if t he soldiers in camp cou l d
have r eceived them .

REMINISCENCES OF A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER

CHAPTER

II .

SECOND YEAR OF THE WAR .
Ewe ll then fell back to Orange C.H. and we joined him
there for future orders . Capt. buchene and Capt. White, of
Ewell ' s division , married two young ladi es in Fairfax Co.
and brought them in a fine carriage driven by a white man,
on up to Orange C.H. They were there at a private residence
boarding and would often drive out to the camp and when we
were tearing down tents and getting ready to go to the Valley,
these ladies asked me if I'd seen the Captains but I hadn't
and we began inquiring and no one had seen them for a few
hours, and we learned afterward that they had resigned their
positions put on citizens clothing and had gone to parts
unknown .
The ladies , of course had nothing to do but to
return to their homes.
We crossed the Blue Ridge at Sneeger's Gap in a down
pour of rain and p~tched our tents at E l k Run Church. The
rain ceased that night, so we were ordered to clean up
the encampment next day which was Sat . Sun . dawned clear
and calm and we all had the privilege of attending the church
services . The afternoon was spent in s leep, or rather a part
of it. We were aroused by screams from the east end of the
encampment and we l ooked and saw men shooting out from under
their tents and capsizing some of them in their mad rush.
we inquired for the trouble and some said a snake had crawled
over their faces, and others that the devil was in the tent.
After a number of tents were overthrown and all the men
awakened , nearly, we found that the trouble was a large black
snake running over the men while asleep . He ran in a mus~rat
hole , so no one had the pleasure of killing him for breaking
our rest.
We remained here a few days and scouting parties were
sent out every day across the mountain, and as far down as
Linden Station to see if the enemy was approaching.
The cavalry that was engaged in this vidette line, picketted on the Shenandoah River and were often routed by the
enemy.
Some of the men didn't stop until they got clear out
of the country.
About this time we had a re-election of officers and Col .
Munford was put in command of our whole regiment, where as h e

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 172

had only commanded half, and Col . Watts was elected Lieut_
Col.
On the 3rd of May , when the regiment was near Lind en
Station, 13 of us were left at Flint Hill , several miles
distant, to have our horses shod, and as we were going on
to overtake the command , we met a man galloping up the road.
Serg._Lemon , who had charge of us , met the man first and
let him pass , but when he reached me I ordered him to halt
as I saw he was a northerner. But he fell flat on his hor~e
a~d swiftly made a turn in the road, so we didn't pursue
h:m. He dropped a nice gum coat in his wi l d rush, which we
didn't fail to get .
We were in Rappahanneck Co . and there were a great many

~tone fences and I told Serg. Lemon we had better get out

into the open on a high point and see if we could locate
any £orces of the enemy . We hadn ' t gone any distance until
we saw Gen. Gary with a division of Inft. and a regiment of
cavalry, making his way from Front Royal to Richmond .
We
soon overtook Col . Munford and notified him of Gen . Gary ' s
mo~ement and he waited until night fal~ and pass~d through
Flint Hill, and took another road leading to Madison C.H .
We camped and kept watch.
The next day some of Gary's men came out in sight and
Munford sent a couple of companies to cut these men off
from the command and capture them, and when we got to a
rock fence where we thought we coul~ cut them off, we found
the fifth Mich. Inft lying just behind the fence . They
raised up right at us and our horses were stopped so suddenly
that six of the men were thrown off and captured.
When Major Cary Breckinridge, who was in command of
us saw the trap we were in, he orde~ed us to "left about
wheel," and just in the act of turning , a bullet th~t was
aimed a t me struck c.c. Cahoon, the man next to me in the
armo
We had to retreat about 400 yar ds in full view of this
whole regiment and they were firing at us all the time . But
they were excited and overshot us and only the one man was
wounded. My horse was struck on the foot and had to make
three-fourths of the distance on three feet.
The roll was
called after we got back, but only the six men of Franklin
Co . had been captured.
After awhi le three indep endent scouts came up, Williams
Lamar Fontain, and Farley - s. Carolina and Mississippians. '
They wanted a dozen sharpshooters to go to where some Yankees
were doing a lot of depredating, ki lling cattle, etc.
I was

sent among the others to within about 500 yards of where
they wer~ and we could see the hill beyond blue with Y~nkees.
We fired four or five shots each before they had time
to protect themselves and killed and wounded a dozen or more,
but then had to retreat for our own safety .
The next morning I was sent with C. C. Cahoon, William
Henderson and George Zimmerman, who had been wounded by their
horses fal ling with them , except Cahoon, who was shot, to
Madison C. H.
I led their hors es and took $100 to pay their
expenses on the road, but we were so kindly treated by everyone
that I didn't have to pay a penny. Mrs. Gen. Kemper had charge
of the hospital and took care of the men .
I took my horse , which had been wounded to the horse
pasture and got another and returned with the ambulance, in
several days .
The command was moving, but Gary reached Richmond and was
ki lled in the first battle around Richmond .
We next went back and joined Ewel l in Luray county, and
went on toward Front Royal, where there was a U.S. Garrison.
We joined Jackson at Front Royal , and Col . Ashby , with the
first Va. Regiment, attacked the enemy here and drove them
back with heavy _l oss . The 2nd Va. regiment was to the ri ght
and didn ' t receive as heavy firing as the 1st Va.
There were two Maryland companies in the 1st Va. cavalry
and they were eager to bring on the at tack, as the Maryland
infantry held the position.
The cavalry made a charge through a wheat field and the
regiment of infantry was lying down in the wheat, and when
the cava lry came near the infantry arose and slew a number of
our men. Colo Ashby then ordered our men to charge with
drawn sabe rs, which they did, with considerable slaughter.
This was our first charge with drawn sabers. The enemy
r et r a t e d to Winchester, about four mil es distant. The remainder of the day was quiet except picket firing.
The next day, which was Sunday, Gen. Ewell advanced from
Front Royal with his division of Infantry and Gen. Jackson
advanced from Strasburg with a division of Infantry, also.
The count r y was generally fenced with stone fences and both
armies made use o f the fences as fortifications.
There was a rock fence running paralle l with the fences
occupied by both armies, and each army was ordered to advance
to this middle fence . The Confederates beat the enemy to the
fence and opened a deadly fire on them . The enemy was so near

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 174

the fence that they lost heavily before they could retreat
and re-cross the fence used as their fortification .
The Confederates followed them on into the town, and just
as we entered the village a lady be gan ringing a church bell
giving us new zeal 9 and the cavairy was ordered to charge
'
after they had gotten through the town. This they did with
heavy loss to the enemy and considerable loss to us. We could
have captured a great many more men, but they lined up a lot
of w~gons and set fire to them, completely blockading the road.
We could not pass the fire, of course, and could not tear
down or cross the rock fences rapidly enough to pursue to
any advantage . However, we drove the enemy to Harper~s
Ferry .
We remained at Harper ' s Ferry several days and while
we were there Gen. Banks was removed and Gen. Shields appointed
in his stead. Gen. Banks had command of the northern fo rce s
at Winchester and the command was given to Shields Just after
the battle .
While we were at Harper's Ferry, Gen. Jackson r eceived
word that Gen . Fremont was advancing on Harrisonburg from the
direction of Parkersburg, aiming ~o pe~ himo
So Jackson made
a force march, marching day and night in order to get to
Harrisonbur g before Fremont.
Shields rapidly followed us, but our men kept holding him
in check. We were sent on at the h ead of the army, as the
cavalry could make much better time. We arriv~d one day ahead
of the Infantry and rode two miles_b~yond Harrisonburg in the
direction of Parkersburg, and fortified.
Gen. Ashby maneuvered so wisely, that John C. Fremont,
(the old wally horse), thought he ha~ to fight Jackso~ ' s whole
army and was preparing for same . While he was preparing for
a general attack, Jackson pas?ed through Harrisonburg and went
in the direction of Port Republic.
When Fremont made the attack, we retreated hurri edly
through Harrisonburg , and Fremont censur~d hi~ Eng lish General,
Percy Windam , for a llowing Ashby to deceive him that way .
Windam pursued us and made his brags that he would capture
Ashby before the sun went downo He attempted it and Ashby made
the same attempt at him . Windam ordered a charge, but his men
woundn't follow him and he ran into our lines and we captured
him. Just as we captured him, Gen. Ashby was killed. A Confederate brigade was ordered back to help us and quite a
number of our men were killed, but not so many as of the enemy .
This is known as the battle of Harrisonburg.
Night came and
put a stop to hostilities for a time.

The cavalry pickets were stationed a l l around, but the
next morning just after sun rise , the enemy began to advance
again.
Gena Ewell ' s division took a stand near a l ittle
village called Cross Keys . Gen. Fremont marched againsed him
with a force more than double the number of his . At about
10 o ' clock the battle began and raged until about four.
Fremont
was completely whipped and never made another attack.
Jackson, now thinking his way was clear, continued his
march to Port Republic . But when he arrived, to his great
surprise, Gen . Shields had come in on the east side and stationed
a battery to guard the bridge to prevent Jackson from crossing .
Jackson rode up to the men commanding the battery and told
them to move the guns back to another position , which would be
better, and t hese men didn ' t know who Jackson was and obeyed the
order , and Jackson went back and marched his men over the
br i dge . He went on down the river with his and Ewell's divisions
to meet Shield ' s main army . We , of the 2nd Va. cavalry was
l eft in the rear to hold Fremont in check , and as soon as
Ewell ' s and Jackson ' s men crossed the br i dge they burned it.
Of course our cavalry could cross without the bridge but they
fired it to stop Fremont's infantry and artillery ·. The waters
of the Shenandoah were especially deep at this time , but we

Jackson reached the Lewis House he found that Shields
the very position he wa s aiming to get. He had
18 pieces of arti l lery in an app l e orchard a r ound
House.
It was on a hill and commanded three ways.

Gen . Bran ch wit h his brigade was ordered down the Shenandoah, at t h e waters edge.
Gen. Trimble was ordered up at the
foot of the mountain , his men being conceal ed by the timber.
Jackson's brigade came down the river about a ha l f mile from
Branches men , on a road running paral l el with the river.
Since
Gen. Ashby ' s death, Gen . Stewart from Maryland, was commanding
Ashby's men .
Stewart's men were ordered up to the right of
3ackson ' s men and in fu ll view of the Lewis House and Shields

Shields had taken his position and of course
Jackson had to make the attempt to move him from it .
Jackson had sent a regiment up a ravine about 400 yards
from the house and righ t in front of the battery . They were
entire l y concealed in a rye field . About 200 ya rds bey ond
th i s regiment was another regiment also concea led ~n the r~e .
Neither of these regiments knew the other one was in th e f i eld ,
and when the signal guns were fired for all to a dvanc e , and th e

Trimbl~, Branch.and Jackson, advanced a part of the way,
but when this confusion occured between the two regiments
in the rye field, Jackson's whole army seemed demoralized.
They thought, probably all those men in the rye field were
men supporting and protecting the battery .

The attack ceased for an hour or so, until Jackson could
notify his men of the plan, and when the second signal guns
were fired, they advanced from the three sides .
Brigadier Dick Taylor had been ordered up nearer the
batteries than any one e l se , and when the signal guns were
fired , Taylor 's men marched right up and took the guns .
Shields sent reinforcements and took them back from Taylor
and Jackson reinforced Taylor and he took them the second time.
Shields reinforced again and took ~hem back from Taylor
the second time, and Jackson ordered reinforcements and Taylor
took them the third time and held them .
Trimble ' s whole force had come down from the mountain and
Brnach from the Shenandoah , with Jackson right in front of the
battery. The cavalry had been ordered to char~e, by this time ,
and we drove them, with heavy slaughter , t en miles down the
river.
By this time Fremont, who was on the west side of the
Shenandoah, and the bridge burned , you remem~er, ha~ gotten a
position and fired a few guns , but we had driven Shields so
far down the river that he could be of no help to him then .
As we were coming back from driving Shields, Jackson
sent out a skirmish line and re-capt~red all of our ~en, about
100 in number who had been taken prisoners, and their guards
Thus ended th~ battle of Port Republic.
·
As my horse was wounded at Gain 's Cross Roads , and I wasn ' t
well myself, I was sent home the 17th of Jun~, afte: being out
18 months.
I was not able to enter th e service again until
Oct.
The people of the community got me to go as a gui de with
about ten wagons, to the Sal t Works at Kanawa , W. Va ., while
I was at home.
I went ahead of the wagons with several other
men from our county , who were going on the same errand .
When we go t to the top of SeWel l Mountain, we spent the
night at a hotel called Locust Lane. When we awoke the next
morning we found a s ix-inch snow on the ground.
We regretted
the snowfall so much, but to our glad surprise, when we we nt
about six miles beyond and at the foot of th e mountain , we

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 177

found no snow at all.
The next night we stopped at Tyree ' s Hotel. The lady of
the house was a sister of Mrs . Dr. Williams, of Fincastle,
so we felt perfectly at home. Wyatt~s Hotel, near Maulden,
was our next stopping place.
There were thousands of barrels of salt and a number of
government wagons, and a large number of oxen for sale. So
we planned to buy some of the salt and haul it back to Botetourt
and turn th e wagons over to government use there . But to our
surprise, at mid-night , before we coul d carry out our plans,
we heard wagons rumbling and were told that Gen. Floyd, who
had driven the Yankees from the Salt Works to Charlestown,
was falling oack. While we were still talking Gen . Floyd
and his staff came to the Hotel and ordered breakfast.
Gen Floyd wanted a courier to go to the Hawk ' s Nest,
a place about 30 miles distant, and hurry al l the wagons on
to the Salt Works; but after ar:riVi!J.g at the Hawk's Nest,
to turn all the wagons back.
I volunteered to act as courier . At first he was afraid
to trust me, but after questioning me until he thought he knew
me sufficiently, he had a dispatch written and gave me to
notify the wagon driveTs to hurry on and load the w~gons, and
they would be put acro ss the Kanaw~a on the fe;rry and sent by
way of Cotton Hill. The mountain road was so narrow that
these teams were sent this way to avoid meeting the other
wagons .

\

I was ordered to shoot any man who wouldn ' t obey orders.
Floyd knew that he could get the wago ns within the 30 miles
loaded and across the river before the Yankees could overtake
them , but it would take too l ong for the wagons to come from
beyond the Hawk ' s Nest .
I met my teams right at the Hawks Nest and ordered them
back . The dispatch also stated that all loaded wagons beyond
the Hawk's Nest, were to sell half their load to empty ones.
This they all did . Some were heavily lo aded and were just
creeping along .
After dividing up loads, we continued to carry out orders,
which was - to travel all night and not stop to feed our teams
until we passed two roads, known as the Sat. and Sun. roads,
where the Yankess were supposed to pass. We kept turning
empty wagons back and overtaking loaded ones and dividing up,
until we reached Lewisburg, in Greenbrier Co. We were about
two weeks making the tripo This was the only time I had any
experience with, or was in the western army.

~very letter that went to the boys in the eastern army,
I think, told of my trip to the Salt works , and the boys
began to think I ought to be back fighting inst ead of
guiding wagon trains.

The boys showed the letters to Capt. Breckinridge and
he ordered me to be brought back by an officer . Sheriff
Linkenhoker , when he go t the lett er from Capt. B-, came
to me and told me his orders .
I told him that Xerxes 6 ,0 00 , 000 men couldn 't take me
back under arrest. I told him I was going back soon, that r
wasn 't yet able to ride on horse back, so far and constantly .

The next day I wnet to the army surgeon , Dr. Mayo of
Buchanan , and showed him the order and he remarked th~t
"they are a set of fools, your are here under a l egal
certificate . " I had three ce rt ific;:ates fro~ the family
physician of my inability for ser~ic;:e, but in Aug., Gen . Lee
had passed an order that no certificate could be recognized
except from an army ' surgeon, so I had been to_him in Aug.
and twice since that time, so held three of his certificates
in Dec.
Dr . Mayo gave me a reconunendation to e it~ er be discharged
or detailed for light dutyo I'd ?een suffering from congestion
of the liver and was broken down i n general.
Dr. Mayo told
Capt. Allen , who was at the head ?f affairs i~ Buchanan to
give me transporta tion on the train as I was n t able to make
the trip on horse back. On the 20 of Dec: I started back to
Fredericksburg, where my company was st~t1~ned .
I was
detained at Lynchburg several day~ · so d1dn t get to Guinea
Station, near Fredericksburg, until N~w Year~ day ' 63 .
r went
directly to the Capt's tent and the first thing he said when
he saw how bad I looked was, "what in the wor~d have you come
back for"? I showed him the letter he had written to the
sheriff, Lewis Linkenhoker. He said I was u~fit_for service ,
but as they were in winter quarters and no fighting much , I'd
have an easy time.
I then went to Col. Munfords tent.and ~e greeted me with
the same question. I replied by showin g him the Captain ' s
order to be sent back. The Col . said I had b~en r epor ted to
him as absent without leave. I then showed him my certifica te s
from both Drs. Col. Munford remarked: " Wel l, I ' 11 stop this
proceeding right here, you shal l not go before a court-martia l
without a cause."
I told him that I prefered goi~g before the ~ourt-martial
that I wouldn't gratify these parties, who had c i rculated the
false reports abou t me, enough to show them th e certificat es

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

but I wanted a lot of gentlemen to see why I'd been absent.
The early part of the New Year was taken up very largely
to straighten up the work of the old year .
In a few days about 75 of us went to Massiponix Church,
in Spottsylvania County, where the court~martial was in
session.
Capt. William Graves, of Bedford Co . , was there with his
company , guarding the prisoners. He had been commander of
the sharpshooters the first year of the war and I had been
one of themo He assigned the prisoners to different tents
and told me to remain with him.
It was a month before our turn came to appear before the
court , so he gave me leave to visit my friends all over the
army of Northe rn Virginia .
When our turn came, I went before the court and Captain
Breckinridge presented the papers to the court. They asked
me if I had an attorney and I told them I hadn 't but handed
them first my detail and sick furolugh , then my certificates
from Dr . Mayo , the army surgeon.
I then showed them Gen.
Lee ' s order for all soldiers to be examined by an army
surgeon , they cnuld see by the dates that I'd seen Dr . Mayo
on the day f ollowing, and when Dr . Carper's certificate had
only half expired .
I then showed them the order to the
sheriff to bring me back under arrest .
They asked me if I had any witnesses I told them I had
one , Capt. Bo whom I'd asked to please remain until I called
for him .
After reading the pape r s I asked Capt. to please state
to the court just when I ' d enlisted and what kind of a
soldier I'd been while in service, etc . He stated that I'd
volenteered at 19 when a school boy, and that he had joined
the Co. the 20 of May 1861. He said during the 13 months I'd
been with us he wouldn't ask for a better soldier than
I ' d been .
I was dism iss ed , but didn't hear my sentence until a
month lat er. When the last man of our regiment was examined ,
we returned to camp.
As I couldn ' t carry arms until my sentence was heard, I
wasn ' t liable to duty. But I volunteered to go into Stafford
Co. , with a detachment, to try to capture some of Gen . Averill ' s
pickets. We captured about 25 of them and as we were returning,
the enemy be gan char g ing the rear of our command, and the

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 180

sharpshooters of the 1, 2, 3 and 4 regiments, were sent
to the rear to check the advance .
Our skirmish line went back and aimed to get to a
little town of vacated winter quarters, and I saw a soldier
riding a beautiful dappled gray horse , so I made in that
direction and was ordered to dismount and advance on foot.
Not thinking that the man had gotten so near, just as I
started around one of the cabins, the man called to me to
halt and surrendero
I threw up my hands , of course, as he
had his gun right in my face, but even after doing this
he snapped h i s gun at me.
It was snowing very hard and the
gun failed to fire, and fearing that my gun would be like
his on account of the dampness , I drew my pistol on him, so
he surrendered to meo
As I took him back , I had to pass through the sharpshooters
of the 3rd regiment, and three of them had seen the man try
to shoot me after throwing up my hands . They wanted to shoot
him right there for the cowardly act, but I told them two
wrongs never made a right, and wou l dn't al low them to harm
him.
I took him on back to Co l . Ry l es , who had charge of
the prisoners .
When we crossed the Rappahannock o~ our r~turn , we were
ordered to lie down for the night .
This we did; we put our
gum cloths down on the snow , then a blanket, and had a
blanket for a cover. My prisoner and I shared the same bed
that night, but before we went to sleep , the_ three men who
wanted to ki ll the prisoner, came and a~ologized to me and
the man, for wanting to deal death to him for the error he
had made. We accepted the apology and they went back to
their men with much relief.
The next day, the 17th of Feb. '63, we went . to Stewart ' s
headquarters and turned the prisoners over to him and they were
sent on to Richmond immediately . Gen . Stewart made me a
present of the be autiful horse I'd captured and she was my
faithful companion for the remainder of the wa r.
I bought
her home with me after the war closed .
We all returned to the camp ground and remained about
ten days, when we were called out for a dress parade .
After all the orders were read out for the next day ' s
proceeding, the results of the court-martial were read next.
One man who was f ound asleep on picket duty, was sentenced
to be shoto _As he was so young and a good soldier Col.
Munford reprieved him and gave him a good , fath~rly l ecture,
and the man was a faithful soldier for the remainder of the
war .

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 181

Finally they came to my sentence.
I was charged with
being absent without leave, but was found innocent of the
charge and honorably acquitted. As is usually the case,
the first men to come and congratulate me on my honorable
acquittal, were the very ones who had caused the false reports
to be s tarted , I thanked all alike , but knew all the time
who caused the disturbance.
As the weather was bad and no dril ling or f i ghting going
on much, the main thing to break the monotony of camp life,
was picketing on the grand old river, Rappahannock.
On the night of the 16th of March, I had a dream of being
in a battle and of having to retreat, and while doing so ,
mired in the mud and was captured . I told the dream at
breakfast the next morning and they all laughed at such a
dream.
While we were still at breakfast, the orderly sergeant
came around and notified us to get ready immediately to go
down to Kelly ' s Ford on picket.
We expected a good time for three days out on the outpost,
but was kept at the village of Kellyvill e , all that day .
There were about 40 of us scattered around, but in hearing
distance of each other . Some of us were in hay mows, some in
outbuildings and some in a mill, to spend the night.
A load of gun s and 40 rounds of ammunition was sent us,
about the time we were fixing for sleep. Those wh o had no
guns got one from the l ot and we were ordered to clean up
the others , r eady for use.
After we had them all cleaned the Capt . inspected them
and if any of our guns were not good , they were sent back and
a good one taken from the new lot . We were eager to get to
sleep , but ins t ead of that at 4 o ' clock we were ordered to
go down to the ford of the river.
We rolled our b l ankets up and tied them on the horses and
were orde red to moun t and fa ll into columns of four. No. 3 Nos. 1 , 2 and 4 we re ordered to dismounto This being done,
we formed into columns of four again, and were ordered to
march on to the river bank, about four hundred yards .
There had been a heavy rain just before this which
fin ished up with a snow about five inches deep . This was
sti ll on the ground, but the river was swollen from the rain
until it was deep fording on horse backo
The wind was blowing from the north and the thermomete r

positioµ

fell to abcut zero. When we reached the breast
the river , some of the rif le pits were filled with
ice , and those that were not, were soon £illed with
some of the men had to just stand and get the best
they could .

At about an hour before daybreak we saw a light that
we first thought was the morning star rising, but the l igh t
increased and we almost instantly found it was the camp fire
of the enemy, being kindled, making ready for an early breakfast to ~ome and attack us .
At daybreak they were coming in sight of the ford .
Gen.
Averill with a division of cavalry and 15 pieces of artillery
soon stationed themselves on the heights commanding the fo rd
and commenced a heavy f ire on us.
In about ten minutes Averil l ordered his men to advance
They came right to the ford, not kn?wing that we were there:
and we opened fire on them from behind the breast works and
drove them back with considerable slaughter .
Then Averill charged with another regiment, but we drove
them back also . He then charged a third time, just about
sun-rise and by that time three companies of the 3rd regiment
commanded by Capte Moss, had reinforced us , and Capt. Breckin-'
ridge, thinking we had enough ~en to hol~ th em back, ordered
us not to fire until they got into the middle of the river.
Gen . Duffe, commanding a French brigade , had the majority
of his men in and near the river before we opened fire .
Several men were shot from their horses and the horses rushed
right out of the river and over our breast wo rks. Some of
them killed themse lves on the stockades . When Gen . Duffe
got within about ten fee t of the bank, his hor~e was shot and
the Gen. came very near being drowned .. When his men rescued
him he was unconscious.
By this time so many of his men had crossed the river that
Capt. Breckinridge saw they would over-power us, so ordered
us to fall back. Some of our men didn't hear the order and
remained in the breast works and were captured .
We fell straight back from the river under a heavy fire
all the time and the men with the horses couldn't well get
to us on account of a fence and the heavy firing.
Those on
the extreme le ft had so much farther to go than th e others
that they couldn't get the horses to them at all.
I wa s
'
with the dozen or so, that was on the extreme left, and just
as I saw the man with my horse coming toward me, I noticed a
little piece of ground fenc e d off right be t ween us, which
to go around wou ld take some li ttle time longer to ge t to
my horse, so I just kicked off a pole and jumped over, to save

�Page 183

distance, you understand, and to my utter amazement, I found
I had jumped into a bed of quicksand .
Four Yanks were pursuing us as rapidly as they could
and when they saw I had been caught in the sand, they rushed
ri ght on around the fence and drew their pistols on me . I
had managed to get out of the sand by the time they got to
me, but in doing so, had nearly dislocated one of my hips,
so cou l dn ' t rune The man with my horse saw that if he stopped
to help me, he and the horses too would be captured, so had
gone on knowing I ' d be captured - the realization of my dream only caught in quicksand instead of mud .
I immediately surrendered, of course , but found that three of the men to whom
I had surrendered, were beastly drunk.
By that time our line of battle was coming in sight and
the three drunken men rushed on for fea r of being captured
by our men.
I held to the mane of the horse that my captor
was riding and as we went back several Yanks shot at me.
The man told me to get on the opposite side so they could not
see me so well .
One man shot at my hand as I held the
horses mane and missed my hand and shot the horse in t he neck .
They were drunk and enraged because we had shot their General's
horse and he came so near being drowned . They were saying
d - - you, you killed our General! Some of them thought he
was killed .
When we go t ri ght to the rive r, I saw a lot of men standing
around a Gen. who was lying on the g round, and I told the man
who had captured me that if he would take me over there, they
certainly wouldn ' t fire among them.
It proved to be Gen.
Duff e who had been resuscitated and was just able to stand up
as we go t to him .
The man told the Geno that there was a man he had captured
and asked him what he must do with me , and the Gen. just reached
out and hit me over the head with the gauntlet of his glove.
He asked me why we dared to fire on his command with our
p i cket?
I told him we were ordered to hold the ford and would
have fired on Hooker ' s whole army if it had advanced. Then
he hit me again.
I told him I hadn't any idea of rece iving such treatment
from a U. s. Gen. Just then one of his aids said to me to
come with him and he took me down the river a littl e ways,
where about 20 more of our men were who had been captured
this same day, March 17.
As we went down the river the aid apolo gized for the
General's conduct; sa id he was drunk and would never have
acted that way when sober. The aid was an American, while

Duffe and the majority of his men were French.
The man who captured me was from the 1st R. I. regiment
and I told him about the man and fine horse from that
'
regiment that I ' d captured just a month before, and he said
the man was from his Company .
Just then I was ordered to fall into line with the other
prisoners, but I took time to thank the two men for their
kindness to me before falling in.
There was a company of cavalry on ~ither side of us when
we s-tarted across the river, marching in columns of four .
We halted a little when we got to the water ' s edge but
were soon ordered to "forward ~ar~h," and we knew that'ment
we must go through that water if it was full of mush-ice and
deep fording . As I was a small man I was ordered to get
between two large men, and we held to each other and marched
through. A Mr. Powell an~ Mr. Shepperson, from near Charlotte
c. H. marched on either side of me.
Matt. Linkenhoker and I had made such an effort to esca e
being captured and to get to our horses that we were about P
hot as a "ginger mill in Au¥ust '_' . But strange to say, wadi~s
that river didn ' t make us sick in the least. The water w
g
just over our shoulders. I rememb~r h~w the mushice and ~!ter
ran down my coat collar. You can imagine how pleasant that
would be , in March and zero weather .
It looked hard but some of our men had made the Yanke
wade the river about a month before; but it wasn't more t~s
knee-deep where they waded.
I.gues~ they thought it no mo an
than right to retaliate. All is said to be fair in love a~~
war.
As soon as we crossed, one company went back to join th
command and the other company took us about four miles to
e
hotel where Gen. Ryles had been ordered ~o hold t h e Yankee a
prisoners about a month beforeo We remained here a few h
awaiting future orders. Ou r clothing had dried while we ~urs
marching. We stopped and poured the water from our boots Nere
soon after crossing the river, so we were very comfortable
by this time.
The lady of the house and her three pretty daughters
came out to look at the prisoners, as they had a month
before, and one of them recognized me.
She came to me and
asked me if the Yankees got my pretty gray horse, too.
r told
her she had escaped and how I came to be captured.

We soon heard the firing of the artillery back at Kelly's
Ford .
Gen . Lee had taken a position on the heights above the
ford and Averill made an attack on him.
Gen. Stewart had
been ordered from Fredericksburg up to Cul pepper C. H., to
attend a court-martial, and went with Lee as a spectato r
and not as a commander . He and Major John Pellum rode in front
of Lee's lines and the Yankees seeing him thought his whole
corps was there and began to fall back at once , under fire
from our fo rces, and lost a great many men in the retreat,
and a few were captured .
Some of our men were captured also,
and among them the gallant Major Cary Breckinridge .
The courier s ordered the gua rds to hurry us on to Fairmouth,
then Hooker ' s headquarters . We arrived about an hour before
sun-set, and about 9 o ' clock the who l e army returned.
We remained here three days and on March 21, ' 63, were
paroled and sent on the Fredericksburg &amp; Aquia Creek Road,
to a station called Aquia Creek. Ther e was a boat landing
here and we took a boat called "The State of Maine," for
Washington .
He r e we were put in the city prison on the
second floor in the basement.
There were 75 of us and ?11 put in one room . There were
bunks on the wall s and benches for seats, but still our
quarters were not comfortable , as the men above us had bored
holes in the water pipes and didn't have them sufficently
stopped, and water was running down the walls and over all
the floor except a little place in the centre large enough
to spread a blanket .
We were kept here until the next day when they sent us
to the Old Captio l Prison. We were all put in the same room
agai n, but the quarters were comfortable and alright. We
had pork and beans , coffee and baker ' s bread, good enough
for anyone.

As I was disabled by being caught in the quicksand, and
was still very lame, the guard al l owed me to go all over the
barracks .
I had to see the Dr. often, so I had a very pleasant
time going around.
Dr. had given me a pass, also, to go any
where inside the barracks . The barracks was a Park of 3 or
4 acres and was said to contain 10,000 men, Rebels and Yankees
together.
We had a f ull view of the street and often saw the Congressmen and President Lincoln pas s by.
The sentinel would often
tell us when different important persons passed, which was
a pleasure to us, to help pass time.
We were given quite a
lot of good literature to read, and altogether, we had a much
better time than when in service.
It paid to be a prisoner

that time, certainl y .
While we were there a lot of Yankees were raiding in
the Valley of Va. and a lo t of Confederates were raiding
also, and the two forces met and a good number of the
Yankees were killed . There was quite a lot of talk about
it, and it seems that the Yankees thought the citizens had
gotten the soldiers to attack them in s ome unfair way.
So a
lot of citizens from the val ley , were summened to come to
Wash ington , as witnesses in the case . Th ey were brought
to the barracks and put in with us . The Johnnie Rebs were all
g l ad to see them . We c a lled them fresh fish, and had to
irritate them, of course.
One of us would go to a citizen and get him to talking
and telling us about the affair , and the other boys would
begin crowding around c l ose by to hear , and we'd say , " boys
dont push," which meant to push and crowd ·more , until we got
our fresh fis h in such close quarters that so~ e o~ them would
get fighting mad. When we would laugh and enJOY ~t with the
rest, that was a signal to give way .
Dr. Lucas from Frederick Coo, was a large fe llow·
'
weighed more than
two hundred, and he got the maddest ' of all
until he understood the joke , and then he was the best fellow
we had to halp initiate .
We all en joye d playing pr anks on each other .
I named
myself the "limpy lame dog" and they al l treated me about as
considerately.
Some of the boys sighed and worrie~ over . having to s tay
in prison, but situated as I was, I enJoyed it . . we only
remained 1 6 days. There was a boat lo a d.o f sol~ier s from
Johnson's Island to be exchanged.and as it wasn t a f ul l load
they telegraphed to the Old Cap~ i ol that they could ta ke about
75 more men while making the trip . Straws were dr awn to see
which room wou l d be sent to exchange , and our room go t the
" lucky st raw."
The boat that carried us was cal l ed . the "~ rc:irie Fl ower ."
A beautiful boat i t was , too. We had fine sailing until we
got within about six hours ride of Fo rtres s Monroe.
Here a
heavy snow storm overtook us a nd the boat was compelled to
anchor.
After the storm ceased and we could see the li ght-ho us e
we made the rest of our journey in safety . We couldn 't see ' at
night, of course, but wh en morning came we found ourselves in
sight of t~e guns of Fortress Monro~. We r~mained here three
days and nights, as the wind was still blowing s uch a ga le

that the ship had to remain anchored.
When we arrived at City Point, our exchange point, as we
marched out, another boat load of Yanks were marched in to be
taken home, and we were sent on to Petersburg by rail.
Here we were put in a big tobacco ware house, which was
hardly suitable for mules or billy goats, but there wasn't any
other convenient place near by . There were several very large
barrels in the building and I told the boys that mother said
I was always her best child to find out what was in anything
sitting around.
So I took my pocket knife and began dissecting.
To my great pleasure I found they: contained sugar and we soon
ate all of the sugar that tasted good in the barrel.
I talked to a citizen through the cracks of the building
and told him that he ' d better help to hunt a place for me for
some fo the boys had cut a hole in a barrel in there and had
eaten lots of his sugar. The man left and soon came back with
the information that there was a barracks about a half mile
distant that we could occupy that night, so we went over, and
such a place as it waso We had to stay all night as it was
so late when we got there, but it was only a good place for
bats and hoot owls. He consoled us by telling us that supplies
would be sent in from Richmond and they were, early in the night.
When we got our supplies it proved about like the surroundings. Well , we didn ' t know what to call it even.
Couldn't
think of a name in the English language to call it .
It had
been bread and meat once, but had been sent from "God knows
where," as the old woman said about the rail road, and was just
poured into a corner of a box car and was of course, about
like hog feedo
We had been locked in the barracks and we just said if
we were not taken out we ' d break the old shack down and go on
to Richmond, so we were soon notified that a train was ready
and we gladly got on board for Richmonde
The cars that took us were cattle cars and the engine
must certainly have had a genuine case of tuberculosis, because
it tried faithfully to whistle, but couldn't make a sound.
We would gladly have gone on, or in anything, to get back,
through o
Well, we arrived in Richmond in grand style , of course,
and the next morning took a train for Culpepper C. H.
When
we got to Culpepper C.H . , Col . Munford had orders to make_ a
raid toward Manassas Junction, but we couldn't go on the raid
as our exchange papers hadn't arrived and therefore Col.
Munford had no control of us. He told us to go home for our
horses and he would send our furloughs as soon as he could.

VIRGINIA APPLACHIAN NOTES

�Page 188

We took the train next morning for Lynchburg and when we
were found to have no furlo ughs, we were stopped there for
furtheT orders . We wrote Col. Munford that we were under
arrest, and ~o send the furloughs on.
I happened to have a
cousin by the name of Linkus keeping the Washington Hotel
and he went my security, and in that way I, with two othe~
boys, got to spend our time with him .
Before I heard from Col. Munford, Gen. Devon sen t for us
to come back to the soldiers home, that he wante d to send us
as guards for some deserters and Yankees that had been
captured in the Western Army.
He gave each of us a pistol and when we a rrived at Richmond
the man who had charge of us handed the papers to Gen Winder
'
and we took the Yankees to the Libby Prison and put them in
'
charge of the officials there . When we went back to Gen .
Winder ' s headquarters , with our deserters , he told the Ser g .
to take us all to Castle Thunder. As the deserters had the
same uniforms we had, he naturally supposed we were all
Deserters , but fou r of us were the guards for the others .
As
I was the oldest of the guards , ~, of course , had to try to
explain the case . But when I tried to do so, he told me to
hush, that he wouldn ' t talk to a deserter, and ordered the
Sergeant to take us on.
0

This the Sergeant refused to do and a general racket
followed. General Winder told another sergeant to take all
of us even our sergeant , because he wouldn ' t obey him · to
Castl~ Thunder . But he went to a Lieut, who was there' on
detached service, and who ~new some of.us, and had him to come
and explain the whole affair to Gen . Windero
He accepted the Lieutenant': account , of course, and
gave us four guards , transportation back to Culpepper c . H.
He told the sergeant to take the real deserters on to prison
castle Thunder, and in the stampede he had caused by trying '
to send us all, the deserters had every one gotten away .
When we got back to camp at Culpepper CGHo and our
exchange papers had arrived and Co l . Munford gave us furloughs
so we made a second attempt to ge t home for the horses .
'
When we got to Lynchburg we learned that Gen. Devon had
been removed form office and Gen. Co l ston put in his stead.
We we nt on to Bonsacks the next day a n d left the train
and took dinner with Geo. Riley, who had thr ee sons in our
command
Mr. Riley was not at home, but Mrso Riley sent us to
Fincastle on horseso

Virginia Appalachian Notes contains a wide variety of information on the people of Southwestern Virginia, including genealogies, records, and historical accounts of geographical areas.  The Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society dissolved in 2014.</text>

Dear Fellow Members,
I don't know where the summer went! As I write this the days are getting shorter and here in
Roanoke the weather has taken a "tallish" turn. We stayed close to home this year so this gave
me some time to dig out my family history files. I thought I might have a look at "brick walls" and
see if I could find a way to break them down. One of the "problems" was where in Germany
was my great-grandmother, Louisa GOETIEL born? She died before I was born but my father
told me she was born in Germany and spoke with a heavy German accent. Census records
gave me her parents and siblings names but no birthplace other then Germany. Other records
that I could find gave no additional information. When I began this search some 25+ years ago I
checked the IGI (International Genealogical Index) available through the LOS Church. Nothing!!
Over the years I occasionally rechecked. Since it had been quite awhile since I last looked I
dec'ided to give it try. Much to my surprise, there she was!! I knew it was her by the birth date
and parents' names (I now have her mother's maiden name). She was christened in the town of
Gumbsweiler. Using Google Maps and Google Earth I was able to pin point the town. It is
located in the area where many of my German ancestors came from and where many of the
German emigrants to Central New York began their journey.
The LOS Church as continued to add names to the IGI so it is worth check back from time to
time. The website with the IGI on line can be found at www.familysearch.org The LOS
Library has begun a partnership project with many record keeping organizations to digitize
material and place it on the Internet. They are also doing indexing of records they have filmed.
They have test site at: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=O A long
address to type in but well worth a look. I found the death date for a great uncle in the Ohio
Death Index.
Happy Hunting,

K~

CALVIN SHANK BLACKWELL
Calvin Shank Blackwell, was born on a farm in Roanoke County which is now a part of
Roanoke City, on27March 1844. He was a son of Robert Monroe and Lucy Shank B lackwell,
who bad formerly resided in FJoyd County, VA. Lucy Ann was a daughter of Henry and Susa n
Shank, Robert was a son of Moses and Betsy Williamson Blackwell from Bedford C ounty, VA.
Calvin had three brothers, James L, John Hen ry, who was also a minister and W illiam H.
Blackwell. Their mother died young, date unknown, but the children sometimes resided in
Floyd according to the census, with their grandparents, Henry a nd Susan Shank, while very
young. Their father, Robert remarried to Mary Magdalene Wertz on 14 December 1854, in
Roanoke County .
When the War Between the States began, be became a member of a company of Confederate
Cavalry for the first year under the command of Capt. B . C lay Pate. When the Second
Regiment of Reserves was formed, one company was composed of Roanoke County men, and
was called Company F., and Calvin was a sergeant. Be took part in the engagements in 1864,
with the Army of Northern Virginia around Richmond and Petersburg, VA. In 1865, he was
transferred to the Thirty-Sixty Regiment, and moved to assist General Early in the last
struggle in the Valley, and then to Southwest Virginia to protect railroad communications west
of Lynchburg, VA.
When the war was over, be came back home very much alive, but without money. lt was not
long afterward when he started walking across Virginia , West Virginia , Oh io , and into
Putman County, Indiana, where he went to workoo a stock farm, which was owned by Joseph
La Follette, an uncle of the present Senator La Follette, of the state of W isconsin. It took him
thirty days to walk that distance. His wages were twenty-five dollars per month, with board.
At the end of fifteen months, be bad saved three hundred and fifty dollars cash, with which he
entered Ladoga Academy. In 1870, he entered Oskaloosa College in Iowa . This college later
merged into Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa.
He also pursued other theological studies under Dr. F. M. Bruner, who was a German
theologian of eminence and graduated in 1874. After ten years absence he returned to Virginia
in 1874 and located in Norfolk where he began preaching in a little chapel upstairs, on
Cbarlitte Street. From here he was called to BrookJyn, New York, where he built a church.
In 1878, be went back to Norfolk, as pastor of the Disciples Church, and during this pastorate
built a church on Freemason Street . In 1880, he married Miss Frances De Jarnett, and the
same year he received a call to St. Louis, Missouri, and shortly thereafter to Central Christian
Church in the same city. In 1887, he was called to the Central Christian Chu r ch in Chicago
, IL, when two years later he moved to Augusta, Georgia.
On JuJy 12, 1891, he united with the Baptist denomination, and became the pastor of the Third

Baptist Church in Norfolk, Virginia, then from 1892, until 1897, he was pastor of the First
Baptist Church in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The Blackwell Memorial Baptist Church
in this city was named in memory of his great work and usefulness. In 1897, be1· retired from
the pastorate, and was made the first Southern Baptist secretary to organize the BYPU work
of the South, and at the same time be was associate editor of The Baptist Church in Norfolk
Virginia where he remained until his retirement from the pastorate for good in 1909. His grea~

usefulness in the ministry, was bis remarkable evangelistic powers and gifts. He was an
evangelist and supply pastor in fourteen states. He possessed a rich vocabulary, also had a keen
sense of humor and was very much admired by the young people. It is estimated that he
preached 11,000 times during his fifty-six years in the ministry, and that he married 1,198
couples, and received for baptism more than 12,000 people.
Calvin and Sophia Frances Blackwell are found on the 1900 census in North Carolina, New
H anover with two boys, Hugh Burke born 1881 and Calvin born 1884. The census states that
Hugh Burke is a medical student. Calvin Blackwell died in Suffolk, VA on 03 May 1923,
having been found by some friend in his room, after preaching a revival in Suffolk, on
"Preparation for Death."
Marinus James said the following:

"What a preacher he was!" He possessed a rich vocabulary and had a keen sense of lzunwr,
which was used with biting satire when the honor of hi Lord was at state. He could thunder
like a lion and plead like a mother yearning for a wayward son. Always intensely in earnest,
he swayed the masses by his eloquence. When the writer tried to persuade him just a few days
before he went home to God, to take life easy, he raised that fine voice and thundered in my
ear, "My voice is just as good as it ever was, but my feet bother me." Over the p rotest of his
devoted family, he dragged himself to my car and upon arrival at the depot secured a seat in
the coach that carried him to his last revival"

The Woolridge Family
of Rockbridge County, Virginia

Found in a Woolridge Family Bible on August 2004 in the home of my grandmother's
first cousins. Transcribed as written. If unable to discern writing, a question mark will
show.
One of the newspaper articles was an obituary for Lee Woolridge. It read as follows:
LEE WOOLRIDGE

The venerable colored minister, Rev. Lee Woolridge, died early Monday morning, at
Jackson Memorial hospital, after an illness often days due to the infirmities of old age.
Funeral services were conducted at 3 o'~lock this ~fternoon, at the Baptist church, by
the pastor, Dr. P.W. Cook. He is s~ved b~ his son, Lee R . Woolridge, Jr., of
Glasgow, and his daughter Miss Nanrue ~oolridge of Natural Bridge; a brother, Joe
Woolridge ofMidway, and three grandchildren.

The Rev. Woolridge was born in Buckingham county at the home of his mistress, Miss

Nancy Perkins Jones, in 1844, he w~s therefore i~ his 85 h year. By the time Lee was
fifteen his young mistress had mamed Dr. Camillus Kyle and he accompanied the
young master as servant and was with him when John Brown was hw1g, Dec. 2 , l 8S 9 .
He accompanied Dr. Kyle as his body servant when he entered the Confederate army
at the opening of the Civil War in 1861 and remained with him until the doctor was
killed at Petersburg.
1

He came to Lexington at the time when the bridge was built across North River about
fifty years ago. Woolridge in his younger days was a blacks1nith, but for forty years he
has followed the Lord' s ca11ing and gone about his Master's business;&gt; having been
ordained as a Baptist minjster. The last seven years have been spent in work at the
convict camps. This work has necessitated his travelling all over the state. He was
always a welcome guest at the camps and his visits were instruments of much good.
His talks were good plain Gospel truths told in an earnest reverent inanner and his
prayers were those of an earnest christion seeking the Divine help and a ssistance in rus
work.
He was a man who made many friends, and was deeply loved by his own race and
esteemed by all who knew him.
Author's note-According to family Bible, Rev. Woolridge died 24 June 1928.

EDITOR MITCHELL TRAVELS
(continued :from last week)
It was 5:20 when we left the Union Station via C. &amp; 0 . R.R. for Glasgow, Va. In the

party were Miss M . L. Chiles, Mrs. Gertrude A. Patterson Mrs. Rowena White, Dr. E.
R . Jefferson and Rev. L. J. Morris.
It had been a long time since I had traveled in this section and yet the scenes looked
familiar. The Winding James and its muddy water, almost at its source made a
picturesque landscape.

A FRIENDLY GREETING
Arriving at Balcony Falls, which is also called Glasgow, our p arty met L. R .
Woolridge, Jr. He had brought with him a six seat (or more according to the size of the
passenger) wagon, and in a short time afterwards, we were pleasantly located in Mr.
and Mrs. Woolridge, Jr's residence. The madam and her daughter were engaged
preparing breakfast and in company with Dr. Jefferson, I strolled over the town of
Glasgow. Mr. Woolridge is the only blacksmith in the place. He had notified his
patrons in advance that he would be closed Wednesday, July 24.

THE VI LLAGE BLACKSMITH
I saw a white gentleman come up in his automobile and whisk blacksmith Woolridge
away. He soon returned. Then another, who had come across the mountain wanted
help, for rus horse had gone lame. Again the doors of the blacksn1ith shop swung open
and I stood by watching the operation of shoeing a large mountain travelling horse. In
spealcing of ages, it was sta~ed that this horse was 23 years old. Mr. Woolridge stated
that there was one there which had done service up to the age of 32 years.

A HAPPY FAMILY
I was interested. Another white custo1ner came and I assisted him using the old chisel
on a fanning implement. I then went over to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Fitz, where
the ladies were stopping. When I returned to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Woolridge,
breakfast was ready. I enjoyed the repast. One ofMr. and Mrs. Woolridge's daughters
is a student at the Deaf and Dumb school, at Newport News, Va. No one would think
that she was "a child of n1isfortune,'' having been stricken when a child four years old.
She is now a most attractive young lady, who is ever careful of her personal
appearance.

Still linger in my heart.
You passed away before you could bid me farewell,
But memories of those happy days when we were together;
Your loving smile and kindly ways
Will live in my heart forever.
May God grant you eternal rest.
Husband Luther.
According to Edna Basham Woolridge, sister-in-law to Elaine &amp; Clara Woolridge, they
were stricken by a high fever when they were younger that took their hearing. Their
brother and Edna's husband, was never stricken by a high fever when he was younger
and therefore he never lost his hearing.
Elaine Woolridge Byrd had the honor of working for the then president of Gallaudet
U niversity (college for the deaf) in Washington, DC, Dr. P ercival Hall. Prior to that,
E laine taught at the Dwnb and Deaf school in Newport N e,;vs, VA vvith her sister,

More About CHARLES "WOODROW" WOOLRIDGE:
Residence: 1920, Glasgow, Rockbridge, Virginia
More About EDNA BASHAM:
Residence: 1920, Union Hall, Franklin, Virginia
This is a typescript of a handwritten letter telling about the occupants of Edna Basham
Woolridge's house. The original Jetter is not dated, nor is it signed. Edna doesn't know who
wrote it either.
The only son of Harriet &amp; Eli Napper, W. P. Napper, became a doctor. He was a
pharmacist who lived in the Washington, DC/Maryland area. I do not know if he ever
married or had children. Edna doesn't think he ever married.
Also, the Nappers took in other young men who were studying in school without a home
close by. Edna said some of Eli's family spelled their name NAPIER too.
"Nannie M. Woolridge came to Natural Bridge from Lexington, Virginia in 1924 and
was the Teacher for the [local] school and lived in the home of Eli and Harriet Napper. Eli
Napped died May 22, 1924 leaving Harriet along in the home. The son Walter and all the
other men that were raised in the home asked Nannie to stay with their mother and she
would have a lifetime home. Nannie being single and never married accepted their offer.
Harriet Napper died October 15, 1927. Nannie remained in the homeplace and the men
continued to send money to keep the place going. Nannie's brother Lee R. Woolr idge Jr.
Jived in Glasgow with his wife Mary, two daughters, Elaine and Clara, and a son, C harles
Woodrow. Woodrow came to live with bis Aunt Nannie in 1924 after E li died. M atthew
Elliott came here and lived and worked for Harriet a year after Eli died. Nannie continued
to teach school. She also taught music. Her students included H elen Hubbard (Rodney
Hubbard's aunt), Margurite Moore Carter, Annie Ruth (Na dine H ubbard 's mother) and
Everett Dixon's sister. She taught her sister-in-law Mary W oolridge in GJasgow."

PLEASE READ
Dear Fellow Members,
I have some bad news for you - The Society is on the verge of disbanding . Membership is
down, costs for printing and mailing the VAN are up and if we fall below 200 members mailing
costs will skyrocket. We spend more money then we take in and while there is enough money
in the treasury to continue for this year and possibly next, it is unlikely that we can make it
beyond the end of 2009.
We mail out meeting reminders to those in the Roanoke area but hardly anyone shows up. A ll
we can conclude is that no one cares about the meetings. The cost of mailing the reminders
and the honorarium paid to the speaker further drain our resources.
The board has discussed ways to increase the bottom line. We could increase dues. A small
increase would be of little help. We could decrease the size of the VAN to cut printing and
mailing costs. If we had a website we might increase our membership. But, would the
members be satisfied with greatly reduced quarterly publication and adding members from all
over the country would not solve the meeting attendance problem. We REALLY need local
members who are willing to come to meetings and more important take an active part in the
Society. It seems no one wants to take an office and we, the board, cannot go on forever.

I have asked the board to think over the summer about whether to disband or not. At the board
meeting in September we will discuss our options again and make a decision.
Now, I call on all members to give some thought to what we should do and PLEASE, PLEASE
contact me with your feelings and suggestions. My contact information is listed below. I look
forward to hearing from you.
Happy Hunting,

K~

BELMONT SCHOOLDAYS
Today I drove through the old Belmont Hill section of South East Roanoke, just looking
for anything that was there when I was a child. I lived in Michigan for many years b efore
moving back to Roanoke. Now, everything seems strange and new.
I especially wanted to see the comer of Dale Ave. and 8th Street, the location of B e lmont
Elementary School. I went to school' there from the first grade through the sixth grade,
from 1924 to 1930. Nothing is the same- it seems strange and unfamiljar. The old brick
school is gone. Instead, there is a Salvation Army church on the old school grounds.
Gone are the front and back playgrounds - the front for the boys and the back for the
girls. I remember.how excited we all were when a slide was added to the girl's
playground. I will never forget the new fire escapes that were installed when I was in the
3rd

or 4tb grade. They looked like tall, metal silos opening onto the second floor. A slide

spiraled down inside. When we had a fire drill"' we were lined up and one-by-ooe had to
sit down and go sliding into what seemed to be a big, dark hole. Some of the children
were afraid. They cried and did not want to go down.
Another vivid memory is the big, walk-in basement. The lower grades could go inside in
cold or wet weather and wait for the bell to ring at 9 a.m., telling us it was time to go to

class. There were benches to sit on and there was usually a teacher present to keep us
reasonably quiet and orderly. Tue restrooms were also in the basement but separate from
the main room. The basement was divided by a wall into two large rooms - one side was
for boys and one side for girls. Tue students who couldn't go home for lunch carried
their lunch in a box or a brown paper bag and ate in the basement. There wasn' t a
cafeteria or a gym until much later.
By today's standards, the rules and the teachers were extremely strict. Absolutely no
talking to classmates was allowed and we had to raise our hands if we needed to ask the
teacher a question or tell her something. Eating anything or chewing gum in class was a
terrible crime. We might have to write, "I will never chew gum or eat in class again,"
from 50 to 100 times on the blackboard or perhaps stand in the comer or stay after school

for a week. It was humiliating to have to stand in the comer or write on the board in front
of your classmates.
I had teachers who were really excellent, helpful and understanding. Other teachers were
impatient, strict and crabby. But most of my memories are happy ones, especially those
of my first grade teacher, Miss Crocket. Second grade was Miss Penn, younger and who
wanted everything in perfect order. She went by the book; rules had to be obeyed
exactly. Miss Fetters, whom we called "Miss Feathers," was my 3rd grade teacher.
Fourth grade was Miss Jackson but my memories of that year are sketchy. It was a bad
year for me because of my father's serious illness. I adored my Dad and I was really
emotionally disturbed when he died in April of the following year. Miss Lucas was my
5th grade teacher. She was very patient, understanding and gentle following my Father's

death, but again, my memories are vague of that year. Then in the 6th grade, I had Miss
Dean. She was a good teacher but a very strict one. This was my last year at Belmont. I
went to Jackson Junior High and many of my elementary school mates were there, too.
I have so many memories of my childhood in S. E. Roanoke. Some happy, some very
sad, but Roanoke is my old hometown that I love.

Springwood Burial Park
Perhaps more than 1,000 people found their last resting place in Springwood Burial
Park in Roanoke's Lincoln Terrace neighborhood between 1937 and 1979. Heavy
undergrowth has since overtaken the private graveyard for Blacks, but Roanoker
Robert Bird is leading a charge to recapture Springwood. The 78 year old Scout
Leader bas turned the clean-up of Spriogwood into a project for his scouts. As of the
date of publication he bas massed information for 767 gravesites. Of those, less than
290 are marked. Mr. Bird bas graciously given the Virginia A ppa lachian Notes tbc
privilege of publishing these records from his personal files. This is seasonal work~ so
hopefully next year the VAN will have additional burials to report.
Do you have information on Springwood, or someone buried there? Contact Robert Bird at
birdnest14r'@cox.net or (540) 366-0996.

Additional Springwood Records
M argarette Tynan, a lifetime member of the Botetourt Gc~ealogy C lub, went through
3 bunch of her old Roanoke Times newspapers and submitted the following records.
She is over 80 years old. We appreciate her efforts to keep the legacy of S pringwood
alive.

The Recording Of A

Cemete~

By Thelma Greene Reaga1
Today we walked where others walked
On a lonely, windswept hill;
Today we talked where others cried
For Loved Ones whose lives are stilled.
Today our hearts were touched
By graves of tiny babies;
Snatched from the arms of loving kin,
In the heartbreak of the ages.
Today we saw where the grandparents lay
In the last sleep of their time;
Lying under the trees and clouds T heir beds kissed by the sun and wind
Today we wondered about an unmarked spot
Who lies beneath this hollowed ground ~
Was it a babe, child, young or old~
No indication could be found
Today we saw where Mom and Dad lay
We had been here once befort
Oo a day we'd all like to forge~
But will remember forever more.
Today we recorded for kith and kin
T he graves of ancestors past;
To be treasured for generations hence!
A record we hope will last
C herish it, my friend; preserve it, my friend'.
For stones sometimes crumble to dus1
And generations of folks yet to comE
Will be grateful for your trus1

MEMORIES HELD IN A VASE
Submitted by Elsie Elizabeth Franklin Spoelma
I'm sure most of you are familiar with carnival glass. It has become quite
collectable over the years. It is called carnival glass because it was given as a
prize at carnivals and amusement parks. This vase is filled with memories for
me. My mother won it at a booth at Lakeside in the 1920's. It sat on a mantle in
our house and was a constant reminder of how much fun a kid like me could
have at Lakeside.
When I was very young, my parents took me to Lakeside on picnics and on the
more gentle rides, such as the Ferris Wheel and the Merry-Go-Round or the
hobby horses, as most children called them. The Amusement Park opened to
the public in 1920 as a man-made lake for swimming. It had a sandy beach,
complete with a boardwalk. It was 300 feet long and 125 feet wide. By 1923,
m any rides had been added, including the first roller coaster, officially called the
Wildcat. In 1968, a new roller coaster called the Shooting Star was built. Both
were most often locally called , ''The Thriller." When I was older and went to
Lakeside with school friends who always wanted to ride The Thriller, I could
never let them know how I hated the roller coaster or how much it scared me.
So, I closed my eyes, gritted my teeth and went screaming down with the others.
Lakeside closed October 19, 1986. My interest in the history of Lakeside led to
searching for the details and I discovered that I am older than Lakeside, which
was quite a shock until I decided it was o.k. My vase and I are still here, but
Lakeside is gone.
Thank-you for letting me reminisce and share my memories. It is amazing how
many memories one iridescent, orange colored glass vase can hold!

Roanoke, Virginia 24026

Dear Fellow Members,
I always think I've contacted or heard from about everyone related to one of my main surnames.
Well a month ago I received an interesting package in the mail. I did not recogni ze the name
.but it came from the Syracuse, NY area where my ENGEL family is from . It contained two CDs
and a letter. I began reading the letter and it made no sense, I didn't recognize the surnames
she was listing. My first thought was that she had my ENGEL's confused with hers. I'd have to
set her straight. Reading a little further something clicked ... her great grandfather was my
"Uncle Harry", my grandfather's older brother!! My parents had a summer home just up the
road from his and I spent much time there visiting with him, my grandparents, who were
frequent guests, plus other great aunts and uncles. Harry had a son , Charles , who was not well
liked due to a family dispute but in 1994 I sent what information I had on the ENGELs to his son
Charles Jr. This material was pasted on to his sister and in turn to her daughter. Teresa was '
so excited to get it that she wrote to me (luckily I still live
the address she had!!) to thank me
for my work and provided CDs with b~th old an_d new family ph~tos . She said her mother knew
little about the ENGEL side of the family most hkely due to the nft that occurred in the 1960's.
Uncle Harry's wife died before I was born so I have no memory of her. Teresa told me she was
Irish and wrote beautiful poetry. She said she had a book of her poems and would copy and
send it to me. 1was amazed at these poems, some sad, some happy, some about everyday
things. It reaffirms my feeling that those that have gone before us want us to know them.
Agnes Garvey ENGEL wants us to know her through her beautiful poetry.

A Little Nostalgia ...
STONE PRINTING C01\1PANY
In July 1883, .J.P. Bell, a Lynchburg, Virginia printer and Edward L. Stone, one of his employees,
decided to open a printing shop in Roanoke. They rented a small frame building on Commerce
Street, the site now occupied by the Times-World Corporation. Samuel G . Fields of Abingdon,
Virginia was placed in charge. Edward L. Stone was the printer; the other two employees a youth,
Fleming R. H urt, and " a boy to furnish the power." This shop was known as The Bell Printing and
Manufacturing Company. Following Mr. Fields' death, in 1885, Mr. Stone was appointed
manager. The plant was almost destroyed by fire in 1889.
Jn 1890, the work force bad increased to 33 employees, eight times the original number. La:ger
working quarters were needed, and a year later, in 1891, the company leased the second and third
floor of a three-story building on North Jefferson Street, across from Hotel Roanoke. Around
1891-92 the company name was changed to the Stone Printing and Manufacturing Company, and
Edward L. Stone was named president.
In 1895 the building was enlarged by adding an exact duplicate to the side. This building, later
known as the Stratford Annex, was occupied by the printing company until 1908 when the
struct ure with the stone facade, familiar to many, was erected.
The nvin brick buildings were to ..n down in 1931 to make way for the Norfolk and Western
Railway General Office Building.
Submitted by Jean McGrady, 43 year employee of Stone Printing

Patsey Blankenship, Daughter of Hillery of Giles Co., VA
In trying to piece together the following puzzle of a purposefully forgotten piece
of history I have determined that Hillery Blankenship of Giles County, Virginia had a
daughter named Martha (Patsey) born around 1810. She would be one of the
daughters born 1800 to 1810 which appear with Hillery on the 1810 Giles County
census.
In the recounting of the history of these Giles County Blankenships, I have come
to the conclusion that Patsey is one of the persons I truly admire. Rather than living
her life to satisfy the norms of antebellum society, she instead intentionally chose a life
of certain hardship. Her stubborn courage, and unwavering determination to live her
life as she pleased, is surely an indication of her Blankenship heritage. She may have
been unable to marry the man she loved but her love for her children should be
legendary in our family. She fought the legal powers of her day to keep her children
close to her, and even though she lost in court, she later manipulated the jus tice system
to have one of her sons returned to her.
Patsey Blankenship first shows in Giles court records in an entry in Giles Order
Book 1833-1835, page 283, dated June 28, 1837, reading: "It is ordered that Isaac
Epling, Overseer of the Poor, bind to Leland Vass, Charles Blankenship [the word
orphan marked through] a free boy of color, son of Patsey Blankenship until he arrives
at the age of21 years".
A year later on, Monday, June 26, 1838, Patsey appeared in court with Joseph
Canterberry questioning the legality of an "indenture of apprentice" which the
Overseers of the Poor had used to "bind" her son, Charles, to Leland Vass. The
original indenture, dated June 1, 1838 is preserved at the Virginia State Archives. It
states that Charles was aged "five years, ten months, a free boy of color", and would
dwell with Vass "to the age of twenty one years" to "faithfully, honestly and obediently
serve his said master". On August 27, 1838 the court gave the opinion that the
indenture was valid.
Leland Vass died in 1843, and on March 28, 1843 John McClaugherty, the
executor of the Vass estate, appeared in court: "having intimated his intention of
transferring the indenture of apprentice binding Charles Blankenship, a mulatto boy
aged 10 years in August next, and a bastard child of Patsey Blankenship, to Mary
Vass, widow ofLeland Vass".
However the court did not agree and Charles was "bound" to Isaac Fry with the
stipulation that "Fry is to learn [sic] the boy the wagon-making trade and when he

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Page 19

attains the age of 15 is to pay the mother whilst he is in the service of the said Fry after
that period until the last year of his services the sum of $5 annually and for the last year
to pay the said Charles the sum of$50". A year later on March 26, 1844, the indenture
to Fry was cancelled and Charles was bound to Patsey's friend Joseph Canterberry.
Patsey could once again have access to her son.
Patsey Blankenship shows up in the 1840 census, with an older woman aged at
least 50, living in the midst of the Vina [the name would later be spelled Viney] family
with several of her own mulatto children. Although records of the Overseers of the
Poor indicate that Milly was being supported by Captain James Stafford during ·the
early 1840s, I believe that Stafford allowed Milly to remain in the home of her
daughter.
The Vina/Viney's were one of the few families of free Blacks living in Giles
County at that time. Even though they were not slaves laws still forbade the mixing
of the races, so marriage would have been impossible. The Virginia law against
interracial marriage was still in effect until 1967.
In Patsey's household in 1840 were three boys and a girl, all under age ten, listed
as "free colored persons". These were the four mulatto children listed in the June 5,
183 7 records of the Giles County Overseers of the Poor, reading: "Thomas Kirk is
[ordered] to take four mulatto children who are now at the late dwelling house of
Hilery Blankenship dec'd - his grandchildre~ and keep them until they can be bound
out." [Giles Co. His. Vol. II]
The free Blacks many times had it worse than their brothers and sisters held in
the bondage of slavery. They had no one to care for their needs and yet finding
employment was nearly impossible. Occasionally they could find work in dangerous
occupations but even then the pay was minimal, otherwise they engaged in the most
menial work. Some of Patsey's children were listed as fishermen.
The names of some of Patsey's children are known. In a preface to the 1834
Giles Personal Property Tax list are the names of all free "mulattoes" in the county,
included are: Charles Blankenship of New River, Henderson Blankenship of Sugar
Run, and Nancy Jane Blankenship also of Sugar Rllll, all under the age of 16. The
183 6 and 1844 list of free "mulattoes" included: Charles Blankenship of Walker
Creek, Nancy Jane Blankenship of Walker Creek, Henderson Blankenship of New
River, William A. Blankenship of New River, and James A. Blankenship of New
River. Nancy Blankenship appears in the 1860 Giles census listed as a mulatto
washer-woman, aged 28, her children are: Rebecca, William L., and Sarah E .
Blankenship.
The following Giles court record appears on May 11, 1857 - "It appearing to the
satisfaction of the court that Henry Blankenship is a free man of color, it is ordered that

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Page 20

he be registered as such by the Clerk of this Court, when a full description of the said
Blankenship is furnished to him". This record may refer to Henderson Blankenship.
A Giles "freedman" marriage record dated April 17, 1866 for Augustus Viney,
age 29, and Clara Daugherty states that his parents are Jrunes Viney and Patsey
Blankenship. The marriage took place at the home of Mark Canterbury. C lara, age
23, was a widow, the daughter of Sally (no last name).
James-Viney was born in the early 1790s, the son of Rachel Viney. Lists "of all
free Negroes and Mulattoes with the County of Giles" were prepared by the court for
each year from 1816 to 1864. In 1816 and 1817 Rachel was living "on New River at
Philip Peters' place". Two decades later, on March 27, 1837 Philip Peters is listed in
Giles Court records as the administrator of Hillery Blankenship's estate. By 1818
Rachel Viney and her family are shown in tax records to be living on "New River at
A. Johnston's place".
The will for James Viney was presented at the Giles County November, 1862
court [original will on file at Giles Court House]. A portion o f the will reads: "I do
hereby direct the whole [estate] to be sold to the hjghest bidder for cash and the
moneys thereof arising from said sale to be equally divided between Lusinday, my
wife, and her two boys Andrew and Ballard, and Augustus Viney and Sarah Viney".
A Giles Court record dated January 28, 1828 regarding the opening of a new
road from Clover Bottom on Bluestone to Rich Creek was signed by Hilery
Blankenship. The proposed directions for the road indicate that it would pass through
"James Vina's field and through a comer of Daniel Wray's field", it further states that
"the said road will run through the lands of John McClaugherty, J aines &amp; Santy Vina,
Daniel Wray~ Col. Snidow and John Snidow, and if it should cross the branch near
Wray's it would run through the land of Hilery or Stephen Blankenship. The said
McClaugherty, Wray and Vina give their consent for the said road to pass through their

lands".
The following Giles County Deed is found in Deed Book D , pages 150-152:
"This 28th day of August 1832 Daniel Wray and his wife of the County of Scott and
state of Virginia, hath fo~$58 paid by Santy Vina and James Vina, do give, grant,
bargain and sell to the said Santy Vina and James Vina, three parcels of land all
adjoining and being in the Big Spring Branch water of New River, the first piece
being part of a survey of 52 acres patented to Hilery and Arthur Blankenship, twenty
six acres of the said survey was deeded to Daniel Wray, the second parcel being also
a part ofthe survey above mentioned, ten of which was deed to Daniel Wray by Hilery
Blankenship, the above two piece of land hereby sold and conveyed containing 36
acres. The third tract containing 23 acres was granted to Daniel Wray by letters of
patent bearing date 13th of August 1825." Recorded September Court 1832.

JOHN TALBERT MORGAN

.

~ . :~·-·

Again and again in the lif~ histories of our successful American business
men we discover evidences of the truth of the old precept that sufficient and
satisfying rewards await those who strive . The exarnjnation of career after
career reveals the fact that the ladder was not ascended at a s ingle l eap and
that the man of affairs of today was the hard-working employe of yesterday.
To John Talbert
-·
Morgan,~vice president of the

Edgar-Morgan Company of Memphis, have
now come the rewards of industry, integrity and efficiency.

He was born on a farm in Roanoke county, Virginia, on January 29, 1871, the
son of Captain Dempsey Abiah Mor~ a farmer and dealer in agricultural
lands. Captain_M organ was a native of South Carolina, his birth having
occurred on the.20th of October, 1822, in Edgefield district. As a young man,
prior to the.Civil war he went west and settled near Independet;lce, Texas,
and during the.war was a captain in the Fourth Texas Infantry, on duty with
the coastal defonse of his state. Before the war he had married Miss Laura .
Hines, a native of Georgia, who had come to Texas with her parents as a gii-1
and it was at Independence that their wedding took place. After the war Mr.
and Mrs. Morgan moved to Roanoke county, Virginia, which was their home
for the remainder of their lives. In his enterprises as a land speculator and
dealer Captain Morgan_was very successful, having accumulated at the time
of his death a considerable estate. Left fatherless at the age of five;&gt; John T ..·
Morgan, together with his brother
sisters, grew up under the mother's
guidance, and well it was for these little folks that she lived until they had all
grown to maturity, passing away in 1912. The subject of this sketch is the
only member of the family in Tennessee, his only brother and three sisters

and

still residing in Virginia in _their native county.
Growing to manhood on the farm, John Talbert Morgan obtained bis
education in. the near by schools until he was ready to enter Washington and
Lee University, where he took a course in civil engineering. Among his
classmates in college was a young man, John W. Davis, who has s ince won
more than national fame as a lawyer in New York ·c ity and w as the
ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary fram the United States to

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

Great Britain from 1918 to 192(. For five years after leaving the university
he followed the engineering profession, during three of which he was
employed by the city of Baltimc)re as assistant engineer. While in this service
be helped in drawing a map ..of fue city for pffi.cial use. Having decided,
however, that the field of ciVil engineering ·~ overcrowded and offered
insufficient opportunities
advaric.ement, "i1e resigned his position in the
Baltimore city governn;ient and went to Chicago, where he succeeded in
getting himself on the sales force of a l~ge wholesale paper house as a
traveling representative. His firm assigned him to the southern district and

While he was thus employed he acquired an interest in the John B. Edgar
Grain Company and before he left the road-he had increased his holdings in
this concern to half of the stock. In 1908 he resigned his position with the
paper company in order to devote all of his time to the grain business. At this
time a reorganization took place in th~. company by which the name was
changed to the Edgar-Morgan Company and the business was converted from
a grain trade into a manufacturing concern, producing all kinds. of live stock
and poultry feeds . The firm is now located at the comer of Mississippi and
Broadway and employs about one hundred men in its factory. The products
include all kinds of feed for live stock and poultry, which bear the trade
mark "Happy Line of Sweet Feeds." Because of the large local supply of
.c otton seed Memphis now leads the other cities of the country in t4e
manufacture of mixed stock feeds, and of the firms in the city engaged in this
line of manufacture the largest is the Edgar-Morgan Company, which is now
shipping five thousand carloads of feed annually. The market for the
company's output is chiefly in the south and east, and covers so large a
territory that it finds it necessary to _keep twelve traveling saiesmen in the
field all of the time. The officers of this company at the present time are:
John B . Edgar, president; John T. Morgan, vice president; Howard Jones,
secretary and treasurer.
Nor has Mr. Morgan con.fined his activities to this business alone or limited
his interests to this line of endeavor. He was one of the leading spirits in the
organization of the Liberty Savings Bank of Memphis, the plans for which
were formulated in his own home. At present he is the vice president of this
growing financial institution. He is also prominently identified with several
of the leading business men's associations in the city, being a member of the
Memphis Merchants' Exchange and one of its former presidents, and

intensely interested ~:the work .of~e Boy Scout movement. At
any even~ it is his chief hobby and one that has claimed much time and
personal attention as well as his financial support He is now vice president
of the Chickasaw Council of the Memphis Boy Scouts of America A love of
nature and outdoor life has particularly qualified him for this wor~ as he
, shares with his young comrades a ready zest for sports, camping and holiday
hikes.
He also belongs to
the Memphis Co1:1Iltry Club and the Five Lakes

.
Outing Club.
On the 2d ofJune, 1903, Mr. Morgan was married to Miss Margaret Bermers
of Birmingham, Alabama, daughter of the Hon. Alfred H. Bermers, a
prominent lawyer and ex-chancellor. of that city. By her marriage she has
become the mother of four boys: Talbert, Alle~ Augustus, and William. The
religious affiliations of the family are with the St. Luke's Episcopal church.
Sam Morgan has added the following:
Dempsey Abiah Morgan, born 22 October 1822, Edgefield District, South Carolina, died 22
March 1878, Rmµ1oke County, Virginia (per: Oakey,s Funeral Home, Salem, Virginia). The
family was insistent that the body be sent back to Edgefield District for burial. He was the
grandson of Dempsey and Sarah Lyon Bussey and Abiah and Nancy Pace Morgan.

His first wife, Amelia Ruth Holmes died 1854 and is buried in Independence, Washington Co.,
Texas. Hissecondwife,LauraJ.HinesMorgan, born 11September1837, died November 1913

HELLO FROM THE VIRGINIA ROOM
Hello from the Virginia Room! The fall conference of the Virginia Genealogical Society held
in Roanoke, November 2 and 3, was a great success. At the Friday evening reception held at
the O. Winston Link museum, our own Babe Fowler was presented with a Volunteer Award
for her many contributions to the field of genealogy. Babe started SVGS in 1975 with Mrs.
William Hagan for the purpose of exchanging ideas and information on family histories
primarily in southwestern Virginia. Babe was the Society's first president and editor of the
VAN, a position she held for 25 years. This is recognition well deserved. Congratulations
Babe!

Our second annual "Late Night in the Virginia Room" continues to pack them in as 31 brave
souls shared a late night with us researching after hours on Friday the 26th of Oct. We will
be hosting an informal open house on December 5. Visitors will see the 1898 Roanoke Sanborn
Insurance map and a demonstration of map encapsulation (a preservation technique). There
will also be an introduction to GenealogyBank, the most recent addition to the library's online
databases.
Remote access is available to Roanoke Valley Library cardholders.
http: //infoweb.newsbank.com/signin/RoanokeCityPublicLibrary With proper ID and a visit
to any RVL location, researchers may acquire a card.

Alicia Sell, our Archivist, continues to interview veterans for the Library of Congress
Veterans History Project. Visit www.loc.gov/vets for more information about the project or
contact Alicia at alicia.sell@ roanokeva.gov. Sign up for email notification of Virginia Room
programs at ''MyRoanoke" on W\-VW.roanokeva.gov.

BABE FOWLER RECOGNIZED BY V.G.S.
On Friday, November 2, 2007 during a reception for the Virginia
Genealogical Society atthe 0. Winston Link Museun1 in Roanoke, the state
Volunteer Award was presented by Shirley L. Wilcox to our very own
Babe Fowler. Below is the speech given by Ms . Wilcox during her
presentation:
The Volunteer Award
Vicie Waskey "Babe" Fowler
Babe Fowler tells us that one night she had a wild genealogy dream.
One part of the dream was to start a genealogical society in Roanoke.
Another part was to start a quarterly magazine and the third pa1i was to
have a building for genealogy. In 1977 she and a co-founder started the
Roanoke Genealogical Society. Then they sta1ied a quarterly that she edited
for more than twenty years. Recently she jumped in to save the day when
a replacement editor was needed because the editor had inoved away. The
building portion of her dream will take a li ttle longer, but she still has hopes
it will come true.
Always trying to learn inore, Babe attended the V irginia Institute for
Genealogical Research several titnes and enjoyed every class because she
always learned something. In addition, she has attended several National
Conferences including the one in Richmond this May.
Charles Burton compiled many source records, for Botetourt County
and other counties in this area. Babe convinced him to g ive her his material
so that the Roanoke Genealogical Society might publish it. She worked to
t~t t?~ money to buy a copier and a tnicrofilm reader for the Library's
irgirua Room and because of her effotis people began to donate books.
She h~s a gr~~t sense of humor and it is contagious. She exe1nplifies the
volunteer sp1nt and VGS is pleased to recogni ze her with this award.

Query

My quest; is to determine the date &amp; place of the death of Mary Elizabeth (BOWEN) SARVER, b. ca
1816-20, in Montgomery Co., VA., with documentary proof thereof... She married (3 Dec 1832), in
Montgomery Co., VA., George SARVER, b. ca 1808. She was the daughter of James (b. ca 1790), &amp;
Catharine (BOSTERS) BOWEN (b. abt 1790 in PA.).

I have been attempting to compose a grouping list by date of birth, of the many "George SARVER's
(soundexed), born and/or residing in the Western Division of VA., including what is now West VA.,
born between early 1700 &amp; 1900. This list is intended to include all variations of the SARVER I
SURBER name, but only in the Western Division of VA.
Would you please make this listing available to anyone who might be researching the SARVER I
SURBER name (soundexed) in your annual Genealogy Fairs.
I'm sure this listing is far from complete, &amp; will gladly accept &amp; include any/all "George's" not
contained herein, on ly on condition that they contain documentary proof from where it came. They
must also be living only in t he Western Division of VA. during the cited period (even if born
elsewhere).

"Any" information on the death of Mary E. BOWEN will be appreciated.

Cousin Charles told me what his father, my great great Uncle Edmund King Edwards, bad related to
him while growing up.
Cousin Charles doesn't know who Cephas Poindexter's parents were. He believes it was "01' man Ike
Poindexter." I have found an Ike &amp; Isaac Poindexter on census records for Franklin County, VA, but
I have never found Cephas on any census record using various spellings of his first and last name.
Minnie Poindexter was an Edwards before marriage. She was my great grandfather's sister. She
remarried one time after Cephas Poindexter died.
What a sad way for Cephas &amp; Deputy Wade to end their lives. Unfortunately, the time called for the
death of a Black man for killing a White man. An old African proverbs states that "The ruin of a
nation begins in the homes of its people and there is no medicine to cure hatred."
Following are the newspaper articles printed by the Roanoke newspapers Tlze Evening News and The
Roanoke Times on my great great Uncle Cephas Poindexter:

POINDEXTERISBROUGHTHERE
Dresse d as Woman Murderer of Deputy Wade Reached Here Last Night.
WAS GRANTED A SECOND REPRIEVE
Mob Violence Feared at Rocky Mount if People Learned of Stay of Execution - Was to Have Been
Hanged Today.
Dressed in the garb of a woman, in bonnet, bustle and skirts, Cephas Poinde~ier, the negro who was
sentenced to hang at Rocky Mount this morning for the murder of Deputy United States MarshalJ Z.
B. Wade several months ago, was brought to this ci1:y on the 7:15 o'clock h"ain from Rocky Mount last
night by Sheriff Nicholson and a deputy and lodged in the city jail for safe keeping. He was granted
a second reprieve of two weeks yesterday afternoon by Governor Montague after much solicitation
by the counsel of the prisoner.
It was feared that when the citizens of Franklin county, in whose minds the story of foul murder is
still fresh , got wind of the fact that the condemned man had been granted a second reprieve they might
make an attempt to administer justice themselves, and for this reason it was deemed best to spirit him
away from Rocky Mount jail under cover of darkness and in the clothing of a woman.

A telegraphic message from Governor Montague late yesterday afternoon stayed the hand of
execution and the negro 's attorneys will have until Friday, the 24•h of the month, to make forther
efforts on behalf of their client.
The tragedy for which Poindexter was convicted by the jury of the circuit court at Rocky Mount
sever al weeks ago was the killing of Deputy United States Marshall Z. B. Wade while the officer was
attempting to place him under arrest as an illicit distiller. The negro used a double-barreled shotgun
and Officer Wade &lt;lied instantly. Later Poindexter was tried and sentenced to died on the gallows on
Friday, October 27, but on the day preceding he was granted a reprieve of two weeks. The time would
have b een up today and all preparations for the execution were perfected in the event the second
respite was not granted.
The people of Franklin we1·e greatly aroused over the murder and when information granting the
second r ep rieve reached Rocky Mount yesterday mob violence was feared and it was decided to rush

the prisoner to Roanoke as early as possible b efore the tim e set for the execution. li e was accordingly
dressed in a woman's garb by Sheriff Nicholso n, who exercised g r ea t ca r e in p e rfec tin g th e disguise.
It was so complete that the prisoner attracted much attention o n th e w a y from th e s tati o n here to the
city jail, a crowd following the party most of the way. A s triking featur e of the pro cess ion was th e
extraordinary proportions of the padding on the priso ner, but the oth e r det a ils o f th e make-up were
sufficiently deceptive to throw the Rocky Mount depot loungers off the sce nt. He was taken to a cell
on the upper floor of the jail a nd pl aced in th e care of Jailer AJlcn , who g uarded hi s priso ner last ni ght
like a Nemesis of old. The sheriff and d e puty who broug ht Poindex ter t o Roanoke w ill r eturn hom e

POINDEXTE R IS REFUSED NEW TRIAL
T he supreme court has refused the appli cation for a new trial in th e case of Cep has Poind exte r , ·w ho
was convicted of the murder of D eputy Mars hall Wade at Rocky Mo unt last Augus t, and unless th e
governor interferes Poindexter will hang on F rid ay.
Poindexter was brought to this city about m ·o weeks a go disguised as a woman, a nd placed in jail
for safe keeping. When the last reprieve was granted him there was so m e talk o f lyn c hing and th e
officers feared that something might happen and disguised him as a woman, he was brnught here and
has been here ever since.
Poindexter was told that his application for a new trial h ad been r efus ed , but the announcement did
not seem to effect him a great d eal. When h e was first arrested and broug ht h ere h e had a rabbit's
foot in his pocket. This be had given to Mr. A llen, th e j a iler, and he s aid th a t if h e h ad had the r abbit's
foot with him all the time he was s ure he would have fared better a nd tbat his tou gh lu c k was due to
the absence of the charm.
It is not known when Poindexter will be taken back to Rocl&lt;y Mount, but possibly not before

T hursday afte rnoon. He will be accompanied by one or two officers from this city, besides the s h eriff
of Franklin county.

Murderer of Deputy Wade Hanged at 11:05 in Rocky Mount. Did Not Weake n and Met His Fate
Bravely .
.Cep~as Poindexter convicted of the murder of Deputy Zach Wade last A ugust paid the penalty for
his c nm e on the gallows at Rocky Mount this morning a t 11:05 o'clock. In exactly twelve minutes
after the trap had been sprung Poindexter was pronounced dead by the attending physician.
Poindexter was taken from this city to Rocky Mount yes terday a fte rno on by Sh e riff Nic holson and
~epu~ ~er~eant Moss, of this city. They a rrived there without i~cident and Poindexter was placed
m the Jail with a heavy guard. He seemed tit·ed and s pe nt a good night, slee ping nearly a ll night long.
He was awakened about 7 o'clock a nd when asked if he wanted a ny brea kfas t s tated that he did, and
when it was taken to his cell he eat [sic} very heartily. He was stoical all the time and never once
weakened.

When the time arrived for the march to the scaffold Sheriff Nicholson and several deputies entered
the cell and started with the condemned man to the scaffold. Arriving at the steps, the sheriff offered
to help Poindexter up, but he remarked that he could get along all right.
When under the drop he was asked if he had anything to say, and replied that he did not deny the
crime of which he was convicted, but he did not think that he deserved the penalty, as he had acted in
self-defense.
Drs. Wood, Williams, Chickwood, Cahill and Greer were present, and as soon as the drop fell placed
a stethescope (sic}, listening for he last heart-beat, and in exactly twelve minutes they pronounced life
extinct.
The body was turned over to his relatives, who left immediately with the remains for their old home,
near Union Hall.
The crime for which Poindexter paid the extreme penalty of the law took place about the middle of
August. Poindexter had been in West Virginia and had only recently come home on a visit. A warrant
had been out for him, charging him with illicit distilling. Deputy Wade had the warrant and went to
serve it, and surprised Poindexter at his distillery.
When the officer rode up Poindexter picked up a double-barreled shotgun and emptied the contents
of both barrels at him. Mr. Wade was found shortly aftenvard and died a few hours later.
Poindexter made his escape and for a week was pursued by a posse, who would have lynched him
had he been caught. He was finally captured on Sunday and brought to Roanoke for safe keeping.
He was convicted at the first trial of mui:der in the first degree and sentenced to be hung. Two
reprieves were granted, and aftel" the second one he was brought here for fear there would be a
lynching attempted.

The 24th Amendment Ended the Poll Tax
January 23, 1964
Many Southern states adopted a poll tax in the late 1800s. This meant that even though the 15th
Amendment gave former slaves the right to vote. many poor people. both blacks and whites, did
not have enough money to vote. This effectively kept the selection of elected officials in the
hands of rich, white men.

Ratification of the Twenty-fourth Amendment marked the culmination of an endeavor begun in
Congress in 1939 to effect elimination of the poll tax as a qualification for voting in federal
elections. Property qualifications extend back to colonial days, but the poll tax itself as a
qualification was instituted in eleven States of the South following the end of Reconstruction,
a lthough at the time of the ratification of this Amendment only five States still retained it.
Congress viewed the qualification as "an obstacle to the proper exercise of a citizen's franchise"
and expected its removal to "provide a more direct approach to participation by more of the
people in their government." Congress similarly thought a constitutional amendment necessary,
inasmuch as the qualifications had previously escaped constitutional challenge on several
grounds. However, not long after ratification of the Amendment Congress by statute had
impuned the continuing validity of the poll tax as a qualification in state elections and the
Supreme Court had voided it as a violation of the equal protection clause.
In Harman v . Forssenius, the Court struck down a Virginia statute which eliminated the poll tax
as an absolute qualification for voting in federal elections and gave federal voters the choice
either of paying the tax or of filing a certificate of residence six months before the election.
Viewing the latter requirement as imposing upon voters in federal elections an onerous
procedw·al requirement which was not :imposed on those who continued to pay the tax, the Court
unanimous ly h e ld the law to conflict with the new Amendment by penalizing those who chose to

exercise a right guaranteed them by the Amendment.

Dear Fellow Members,
PLEASE READ THIS! If you wonder why the last issy~ of the VAN was a little late and
if you wonder what your officers do in their time off .. . ..Well , let me tell you. On May 22
as I was leaving on vacation our printer called to say that the VAN had been delivered
to the mailer. I expected to see the issue in my mailbox when I returned 12 days later.
However, it was not there. I waited several more days and when nothing appeared 1
called several board members and they indicated they had not received theirs either.
We went into "action mode". Several out of town members were emailed, no VANs.
The mailer was contacted and they said th ey took th.e VANs to the post office on May
24. The post office issued a receipt for all 200+ copies on the 24th but knew nothing of
their where abouts after that!! We were told they probably "went to Greensboro, NC". A
call to the Greensboro post office revealed that "flats" like the VAN actually go to
Hickory, NC after they pass through Greensboro and the VANs were NOT in
Greensboro. And, in fact, only the out of town material moves on to Greensboro . One
board member went to the post office for a "face to face " while I s poke to the postmaster
on the phone. He indicated that he would personally c heck but he was "sure" they were
not at the Roanoke post office. He offered to refund the postage if we didn 't find them.
When I informed them that the printing cost, cost of the mailer and the postage came to
over $750 and we expected to be reimbursed for all costs he was suddenly more
interested in "finding" them. The ''face to face " yielded no results only evasive
responses from postal employees. The postmaster called me the next day and asked
that we wait a few more days before taking any further action. Stra.ngely. the next day
my VAN appeared in the mailbox!! T~e rest of the VANs mad.e their appearance in due
course. 25+ days from mailing to delivery!! A new record I think.
Remember that the VAN editor is always looking for material. In this issue there are
Bible records and family histories. Do you have something you can contribute? If you
do, please get in touch with Mike.

Happ~unting,

nc~

BRO\VN'S MULE TOBACCO
William Norbo111e Brown (1842-1920?) is a legendary figure in Franklin County Virginia
history. The son of John Spotswood &amp; Mary Patterson Brown; «Nob," as he was commonly
called, was one of approximately 12 children. John Brown was a tobacconist in Franklin County
Virginia for many years. Nob was one of his son' s who followed in his footsteps. This was a
very profitable venture for John &amp; Nob Brown.
According to Nob Brown's grandson, Tommy Smith, his grandfather got a " recipe" from one of
his slaves many years ago. The "recipe" was to put a drop of honey in the tobacco to make it
sweet.
Nob was the producer of Brown' s Mule Tobacco. He grew the tobacco and
manufactured the finished product for many years before, according to oral famil y history; he
sold the recipe to R. J. Reynolds of R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company.
Before selling to Mr. Reynolds, Nob Brown was lmown as a fair employer who paid d ecent
wages on time. Many census records list several boarders in his household. Tommy Smith
states , "Those were the workers.,,
Nob took some time out of the tobacco business to fight for the Confederacy during the Civil
War. He &amp; his brother John Virgil served in Co K, I ot11 Virginia Calvary. Nob enlisted as a
private on October 15, 1863_ In 19 15 Nob applied for and received a Civil War p ension
($21.60) because he was disabled.
Nob's grandson, Tommy Smith, has many "tall tales" about his grandfather that he heard from
his mother, Amanda Susan Brown Smith, Nob ' s youngest child. According to Mr. Smith, "when
his grandpa was out fighting somewhere in the War, the Union was winning. They were
shootin' black and white a like. Well my grandpa said they weren ' t going to get him. He found
a big hollowed out log and crawled up in it. The Union soldiers m arched right over him and

V IRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Page 120

didn' t even know he was in the Jog hiding! My grandpa said he werc n ' t so stupid a fte r a ll, he
lived!"
His brother, John Virgi l, did not fare well in life and di e d a pa uper in Richmond, VA. His
descendants have since discovered where he was buried and placed a marker from Veteran
Affairs on the grave. Nob Brown 's alleged burial site has bee n bulldozed and plante d over with
com.
This author and other relatives of Nob Brown have bee n unabl e to acquire a picture of him .
According to Mr. Smith, "his ma looked like her pa, short.'' A fom1 c r Franklin County resident
who is now 94 years old stated that, "Nob Brown was short w ith a hump on his back and carried
a cane. The hump made him bend over." An act ive searc h is sti ll ongoing for a picture of Mr.
Brown.
On the personal side, Nob Brown never legally marri ed . He did have a relationship with a
former slave, Mary Ann Holland, who openly li ved in the house with him . With Mary Ann, Nob
had three children, two gi rl s and a boy. Mr. Sm ith says, " Hi s g randma was what you call a
quadroon. That means she only had one quarter black blood in he r." On the 1870 cen sus for
Franklin County, VA, Mary Ann Holland was listed as " white" for he r race and the wife of Nob
Brown. Apparently word got out about her lineage and from the 1880 census until she died, she
was listed as "mulatto" and the «servant. " All of the children we re acknowledged as being
Nob's. This was a very unusual situation in post C ivil War era Virginia as interracial marriages
were not allowed in the state until 1967.
The children were, John Brown (possibly named after his uncle, John Virgil-date of birth
unknown), Mary Jane Brown ( 1878-?), and Amanda Susan Brown (8/28/1898-7/23/ 1965).
Nob was known to publicly proclaim his love for Mary Ann and to tell a ny white man that
attempted to belittle him that they were, ''just jealous 'cuz ya'JJ ain ' t got a good woman. " Nob
was known to imbibe in Franklin County's finest product, moonshine. He would go to town
"and get likkered up and start throwin ' money to all the Black folks," says Mr. Smith. Mr.
~mith stated that, " word would get back to bis grandma and she would hitch up the wagon and
nde to town to get him. Grandpa Nob love d him some grandma Mary Ann ."
Apparently Nob's mother, Mary Ann Patterson Brown, did not have a problem with the
relationship. In her will, dated 1895, Mrs. Brown leaves everything to Nob for his natural life
a~d to his three children. Unfortunately, her wi II was contested until 1916 based on the
signature of one of the witnesses.
Not much is known on Mary Ann Holland (1852-6/ 16/19 16). She was the daughter of Samue l
Holland and Lucy Preston, former slaves. Her father is the household listed on the census
records after Nob.

Jn June of this year, two great granddaughters of John Virgil Brown drove to Franklln County,
VA.

They met with the author of this articl e who introduced the m to Tommy Smith and

Cornetta Holland Preston (Nob &amp; Mary Ann's great granddaughter). It was a joyous occasion.
All four the Browns had dimples in their chins and other similarities. Addresses and phone
numbers were exchanged with promises to keep in touch.

Dear Fellow Members,
Well, we tried . As I write this, the trip to the NGS Conference in Richmond, VA was
cancelled due to lack of participation. This really applies to those of you living in the
Roanoke area .. .. ... what do you want the society to do for you?? I know that for those
of you living far outside the area the VAN is the important thing for you and to that end
we strive to provide the best publication we can. But, for those of you who live in the
area, we want to provide more. The problem is, we don't know what more is?? We
can't do it unless you tell us what you want. Please let us know what type of programs
you would like. Do you want field trips? Would only a couple of meetings a year be
enough for you? Please feel free to contact me with your ideas.
I want to tell you about a part of the Google website I recently discovered . Google
Books has links to many full text old books. These are available free for download in
PDF format. I found references to both my American and British ancestors. Go to
Google.com. Click on "more" and you will see "books" on the right side drop down
menu. Click on that. Use the "advanced search" and "full text" options. Put in your
surname of interest or a place or an event and see what you get. Note the page
number to make finding the full entry easier.
My husband retired in January and in a week we leave for a "retirement trip" to Seattle,
WA followed by a cruise to Alaska. We are really looking forward to it!!!
Happy Hunting,

Feedback to the Editor
Michael,
Thanks for giving me the phone number for your mother. We had a wonderful
conversation about genealogy and research. I wanted to let her know that the letter she
submitted to VAN [See Fall 2006 issue] gave me some really good information to work
with for the WITT and FRANK families of Bedford, Virginia. Thanks so much for
publishing the letter. One more thing, my father really looks forward to getting each
issue. He reads it cover to cover&gt;and then makes sure he discusses it with me. He grew
up in Virginia, has always enjoyed researching, and getting VAN in the mail is like
getting a letter from home!
Thanks again,
Judy Mills Dom

Old Book Relates How The Yankees
Were Fooled in Saltville Battle
By H. E. Diggs
The town of Saltville, as the chief source of salt supply for the Confederacy during the
Civil War, was a coveted target for raids of Yankee soldiers. Two battles were fought for the
"salt works" and the Yankees were eventually able to capture the town and, they thought, destroy
the salt works.
Saltville people, however, were ingenious and in a very short time had the salt-making
apparatus back in fine working order.
James Hatfield of North Holston has in hfa possession an old book whjch gives a vivid
account of the October battle in 1864, a surprisingly hot engagement which s~w Y~nkee troops
defeated roundly. Entitled "Kentucky Cavaliers in Dixie," the book gives a deta1~~d picture of the
engagement, devoting three chapters to the Battle of Saltville. Portions of the wntmg follow:
"The loss of the Virginia Salt-works would have been a dire disaster to the Confederacy.
Th~ saline springs and wells were numerous and large sums of money had been expended in
their development and in the manufacture of the most indispensable condiments used by man or
beast.
" A person who had never seen them could scarcely conceive of the huge piles, long
ranges of salt hills.
.
"The Federals had long coveted these works and our scouts reported a _force of six to
eight thousand cavalry with six to ten pieces of artillery was making a rap1d march from
Kentucky with the avowed determination to capture and destroy them ... Our main force, not
more th:m thr~e hundred effective men, took position on the slope of Clinch Mountai~ while the
enemy in plam view were encamped in the broad fields of the demesne of stanch old General
Bowen, some two miles from our position.
. " This was on Saturday, October 1, 1864. We knew that there were no troops behind us at
Saltville, excepting a small body of militia and a few pieces of artillery.
"~bout the middle of the forenoon, the enemy moved out of their encampment and
~eaded ~rrectly for our position on the mountain side. The long, blue columns as they debouched
om th:rr camps made a magnificent panoramic display.
.
On they caine in serpentine course, bugles sounding and panoplied in all the pomp and
circumstance of war. A white horse battalion in front was especially noticeable. The mountain
road ran in a zigzag course, and when the enemy reached a tum in the road, about three hundred
yards below one occupied by the 4th Kentucky and l Otb Kentucky Mounted Rifles, our men
fired down ':1Pon the Federals, emptying a number of saddles, killing some horses and causing
the front regunent to dismount
"The. superior number~ of the invading Federal troops forced the Confederates to give
ground,"albeit they ~thdrew grudgingly and fought for every foot of terrain they relinquished.
From earl~ m the morning until late in the afternoon the out-manned Southerners
battled, finally falhn~ back to Saltville proper. What Union General Burbridge did not know,
however, was .that remforcements had unexpectedly arrived on the scene for the Confederates
and the~ were m the process of&lt;'sitting him up" for a rugged reception.
.
Th~ e~emy was arrogant and jubilant. The small force opposing hun and the brief
checks to his tnumphant march emboldened him to think that Saltville would fall an easy prey on
the morrow. Burbridge&gt; in bis self-conceit and pomposity, did not seem to even suspect that he

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Page 59

was be ing to led on to an inferno of blazing muskets and roaring artillery which would sound the
death knell for hundreds of his doomed command, and whose reverberations amid the hills and
valleys of the salt-works would mingle with groans of his wounded and dying and sing requiems
for his dead."
ON CAME THE Union troops and the Confederates gave ground slowly as they retreated
to prearranged positions in the Cedar Branch-Broady Bottom area.
The main battle began on Sunday morning.
Saltville was a natural fortress, a number of hills and ridges in concentric circles
surrounding it.
T he battle continued hot and heavy, with the Federals suffering tremendous losses from
the Confederates who commanded the heights. The Confederates would taunt the Federals
urunercifully.
ACTIVE FIRJNG in the engagement ceased about 5 p.m., but the Federals dared not
retreat, as the road to Hayter's Gap was controlled by Confederates. They contented themselves
by ho lding their positions, about a mile from the salt-works, tmtil nightfall.
The Federal troops that night built up a large number of fires and some of the
Confederates surmised that they would be gone before Monday morning's dawn, which is
exactly w hat happened. Under cover of darkness, the Union troops fled and swift pursuit the next
morning by Confederates failed to catch up with the fleeing columns.
-.
General Burbridge, w hose generalship was looked on with contempt by the Southerners,
paid a return visit to Saltville, just before Christmas in 1864 and, with General Stoneham and
General Gillem, succeeded in capturing the town and filling the wells with cannon balls. But in a
matter of days the salt-works were back in almost full production.

Landmark in Marion Has Been Silent
Spectator to Life's Passing Parade
By Clara Hill Carner

MARION, June 28 - Houses may come and houses may go, but the old Atkins house goes
on forever. This old family landmark, built about 1815 or 1818 by John Irons being either the
oldest or the second oldest house in Marion, still stands the test of time.
Digging back into old records in both Smyth and Washington Counties, some covered with
the dust of time: trying to read page upon page recorded in the "old school penmanship" long-hand:
copying inscriptions from old tombstones, some shaled off, some fallen down in the weeds or dead
leaves, in order to make a composite word picture is as intriguing as making one of the old-fashioned
'crazy'' patchwork quilts.
. .
In 1815 Patrick Campbell sold to John Irons 770 acres ofland for $6,000. This is the Royal
Oak residential section of east Marion. It belonged to Patrick Campbell 's father, David, who in 1768
bought and settled the Royal Oak survey.

In those primeval days sturdy log houses were the style of architecture hence the 14-room
house of which the original two-story, three front rooms and hall constructed of logs were build by
John Irons.
Henry Shugart, a hatter by trade, who was born in Washington County manied Mary,
daughter of John Irons. This house became their home.
During the occupancy, Mr. Shugart added a framed section which parallels the log section
and an ell with double back porch (the ell having been torn down several years ago) and double front
porch, thus making 14 rooms. The entire house was then weatherboarded.
Was Tavern
This house being located on the stagecoach roa~ connecting the frontier with the eastern
markets, resounds not today to the rattle of the ox wagon and the swaying stage coach but to the
hum of thousands of automobiles and busses passing its front door.
About the only market the farmers had then for their surplus grain and produce was
afforded by the great droves of hogs, sheep, horses and mules and herds of cattle on their long

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Page 61

drives to eastern markets.
Over-night guests to be fed were the stagecoach drivers and travelers , and covered wagon
drivers who were the " drummers" during the horse and hack days or the traveling salesmen of
today.
With 14 rooms, Mr. Shugart ran a tavern. Across the road to the north was a field used
for the wagon and stagecoach stand - parking lot in today's vernacular.
Rates and prices paid today by the traveling public at hotels, tourist homes, motels and
restaurants seem a fortune as compared to those paid in 1832. Prices for license ranged from $2
to $4 per year.
Get Atkins Name
On file in the clerk's office in Smyth County is a marriage license on pink paper dated
Jan. 31, 1843, of Elizabeth Shugart, daughter of Henry Shugart, to Joseph Atkins.
During 1856 a deed was recorded by Thompson Atkins and his wife Frances, saying that
in consideration of natural love and affection, they granted to their son, Joseph, 459 acres lying
on the Middle Fork of the Holston River with the understanding that he was to provide them with
adequate and comfortable support during their lifetime and his mother was to have one-third of
the land during her natural lifetime.
The writer was informed by Miss Margaret Atkins, a granddaughter of Joseph Atkins,
that he moved his family to Marion from Cripple Creek when her father, the late William J.
Atkins, who died at age 96 in November 1951, was nine years of age. That makes the date 1865
when he came to make his home in Marion.
The Atkins homeplace was quite an institution. Many out buildings such as barns,
smokehouse, poultry house, apple house, granary, cribs, dairy, apple orchard, vegetable garden
and flower garden were part of it.
Springs were scarce in this vicinity, residents resorted to various ways of getting water.
The spring on the Atkins place is across the Middle Fork River near the railroad (now in the
garden of the section foreman's house).
Water System
A bucket and windlass salesman traveling through the country installing the latest device
for conveying water to the house, sold and installed an outfit for Mr. Atkins for $75. The buckets
traveled on a suspended rope or wire across the road to the spring, a full bucket passing an empty
on the way from the spring.
The late owner of this house, Willliam J. Atkins, remembered their burying their hams
and silverware when the Yankees were fighting in this county during the War Between the
States.
Marrying late in life, Mr. Billy remained at home running the farm for his father. As a
young man he was fond of raising poultry - chickens, turkeys, guineas and peafowls.
The original house is of large hand-hewn oak logs. The rafters are braced and fastened
with wooden pegs. The back rooms are of hand-sawed framing, morticed and fastened with
locust pins.
Some of the rooms have a panel wainscoting. The ceilings are low and the windows

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Page 62

small.
Floors are of oak and poplar, worked out by hand, being togue and grooved.
The original doors are handmade. The double front doors are each on one plank. On
some of the doors will be found the old style thumb latch.
Walnut was used in making the wind ing stair railing.
On the double front porch the columns of walnut are morticed into the plate and fastened
with locust pins. The railings and banisters are of walnut.
This house by the side of the road which has been a friend to man for so many years has
been a silent witness in the progress of Marion and modem transportstion. With the fast motor
travel which requires wide and straight roadways, the fate of an interesting old landmark and the
curve around its front door on Highway No. I 1 remains to be seen.

Young Smyth Girl Saved Records from Destruction
By Clara Hill Carner
Roanoke Times - January l 7, 1960
!'"""' ...... . ..

MARION, Jan. 16 - Down the space lanes of time, many
countries have boasted their heroines and heroes. Smyth County
can quality for similar honors.
Near the site of Marion Town Spring, just offRt. 16, about
four miles south ofMarion, stood the home of Peter and Minerva
Atkins Killlinger.
Here, their daughter, Elizabeth Katherine, who became one
of Smyth County's heroines during the War Between the States,
was born Jan. 28, 1840.
Before the Battle of Marion, December1864, Major
Harrison with 300 Federal troops passed through Marion and
Proceeded three miles up Staley Creek where they destroyed the
Thomas iron furnace.
Mrs. Scherer
The following is from an account from the pen of her late
daughter, Mrs. Laura Lu Scherer Copenhaver.
William C. Sexton, clerk of Smyth County, was at his home west of Marion, today Shanklin
dairy farm , when notified by a frightened courier that the Yankees were approaching.
Mounting his horse, he galloped into the panic strcken town to try to save the court records.
Securing a wagon and Negro driver, he placed the court record books and a wooden box containing
files of papers such as marriage license, etc., in to the wagon.
Diagonally across Main street was Thurman's store - site of Marion Motor Co. Thurman threw
a number of bolts of dress goods into the wagon.
Sexton and the wagon took the road up Staley Creek. Bent upon destroying the iron
furn ace, Harrison took the same road. Sexton on reaching the spring at the foot of the hill
below Killinger home, was informed by a cross-country messenger that the Yankees had
destroed the furnace.
Hearing the clatter of approaching artillery, Sexton realized his futile attempt to save the records.
He rode off into the mountains as the troops came into sight.
Examining the contents of the wagon, the Yankees set fire to it. Two men were dispatched to
the house on the hill to search for any Confederate soldiers or fireanns concealed there and to bum
the house if any were found.
THEY WERE met at the door by Katherine, a young lady. They asked for a drink, also if any
Rebels or guns were hidden in the house. A brother, home on furlou~ was hiding in the woods,
and two new guns, captured from Yankees, were stacked behind the door.
A quick-witted older sister, hearing these questions, came forward with an old, battered, rusty
rifle and said, "Here's Dad's old gun". At which the soldiers laughed.
Instead of searching the house, one of the soldiers told the girls there were bolts of calico in a
burning wagon at the foot of the hill and to go help themselves as he understood dress cloth was
scarce in the South.
Through a window of the house, they could see the burning wagon. Katherine lmew the
contents were more valuable than calico as Mr. Seeton had warned the family of the approaching
enemy.
Perhaps she realized the loss of the court records might likely entail lawsuits, she made

known her intentions of saving them. Her mother and sisters frowned on her venturing so
near t he dreaded Northerners encamped near th e spring.
As twilight descended, Katherine with a servant girl , stole down to the wagon. The books
were burning slowly. Making many trips across a foo t- log, she hid them in a lump of bushes.
Upon hearing several rifle shots, the servant girl ran to the house with a bolt of half-burned
calico. But Katherine stayed until every book was saved.
In the above picture* is seen the charred and burned pages of Court Order Book I. Papers
attached at top ri ght, first marriage license and bond to be issued in Smyth County on Apri l 3,
1832 to John Jacob Lampe and Priscilla Wassum, show burned holes .
. In order Book No. 12, p. 499, records state that in appreciation of Katherine Killiinger's
savmg the records that a reward of $500 be paid her by the sheriff.
Prior to 1940, her daughter, Mrs. Copenhaver, told this writer that neither her mother nor any
of her family had received this money.
While Miss Katherine was teaching at Black Lick in Wythe County, a suitor went a-courting.
Jo~ Jacob Scherer, a young Gettysburg ColJege man, went to Texas where he studied law,
dunng the meantime teaching to support himself
After some time in Texas, he d ecided it was high time to find a wife, but he w anted one
from Virginia. He returned to the Old Dominion for the purpose of taking a Virginia bride
back to Texas. A niece introduced him to the Black Lick teacher, with whom he fell in love.
After a short courtship, they were married, Sept. 5, 1867.
Together they founded Marion Female College in 1873 where she was an inspriation to the
young women who passed through its portals. Quoting from her obituary, " Marion Female
College stands as a monument largely to the results of her ardent labors and earnest prayers."
Mrs. Scherer organized the first Woman's Missionary Society in 1881 of the Southern Lutheran
Church. A memorial chapel was built to her in Japan.
At the age of 58, Mrs. Scherer passed away Oct. 23, 1898. Not only in the Jives of colJege
student has the influence of this noble woman lived, but as ambassadors of their departed mother
are the lives of her five children: the late Mrs. Laura Lu Copenhaver, teacher of English at the
coll~g~, author, church worker, and founder of Rosemont Industries: Miss May Scherer, her only
survivmg child, teacher of Bible and other subjects, Dean Emeritus of Marion college, currently
teacher of Women's Bible class, Ebenezer Lutheran Church; the late Luther L. Scherer, special

About Aunt Mary
Submitted by Bonnie Stuart Beckett
Although I grew up in Floyd County, Virginia, I left there in 1964. It was not until I attended a
Family Reunion in 1998, that I became interested in my families ' history. I started researching the
Census Records. Since my ancestors were al I Stuarts (though not re lated) and alI from Floyd County,
I soon I thought I'd found them all. Until. .. ! made a connection on Classmate.com.
Hoping to make contact with classmates I hadn' t known before, 1 added Floyd County High School
to Classmate.com. (I was one of the thirteen black students who integrated Floyd County's High
Schools in 1960.) Before long, several had signed up, and I decided to contact them.
Sitting at my desk at a Financial firm in McLean Virginia one afternoon in October 2000,I sent an
email to one of them, Leab Wade Ford. Although, 1 realized that we had not been classmates ...
(She didn't graduate from Check) we graduated the same year. That was close enough. When she
told me she lived in the Indian Valley, where my Dad' s family Jived many years ago, I asked if she
knew ofthem. Withinanhoursheanswered, "Not only do I know your father's family, I know about
yo~ great Grandmother" Thinking that she meant my maternal grandmother Mary Ellen Stuart,
I didn't get too excited. I already knew about her.
But Leah said, "No, I know of your great grandmother, Lucy Mary Stuarf'_ I had never heard of
her, much less heard her name. I got a chill~ tears ran down my face. Despite the fact that I was at
wor~ I had to tell someone. r shouted to a co-worker who passed my desk," I just found my great
grandmother. "Jyoti, my co-worker, who was from India, must have thought I was a little strange.
She smiled and said "that's great" and kept walking.
Leah and her husband had returned to Floyd from Florida to care for her mother and grandmother.
I think she welcomed a diversion. In the days that followed, she gathered information for me. She
even went to my grandparents old abandoned home place late one winter evening to take pictures
for me. She sent pictures of the old house; J couldn 't believe it was still standing. And pictures of
my grand parents graves in the cemetery that had been abandoned since 195 5. She told me that her
Dad, Elvin and his siblings, Ellen, Reva and Houston Wade, lost their mother suddenly when they
were little ... Aunt Mary helped take care of them. I understood ... I remembered what it was like to
lose a mother at a young age.
Before long, she sent me the photo of Aunt Mary, "Lucy Mary Stuart," the great grandmother I
had never known. The picture came from her cousin, Sammie who lives in Florida. Then I started
emailing Sammie, a retired/disabled English professor who lives in Ocala Florida She explained
that her grandfather, Alseberry "A.M." Wade and Leah's grandfather, Elvin Wade Sr. were
brother~. When her mother was a young girl she came to stay with her Grandfather Eli, to attend
s~hoo.l m Floy~ " Aunt Mary was there for her too." In fact, Sammie's mother, Ethel is the young
girl pictured with Aunt Mary. She was about 18 when the picture was taken in 1930. "Aunt Mary
was very dear to them." That picture had been in the Wade family for many years.

As the weeks, then months passed, Leah and I emailed daily, she sent copies of pages from cemetery
books, passed on what she learned from her mother, a retired school teacher, Eris \\lade. "Aunt
Mary bought delicious basket lunches on Rally day at church and apples for the children in Sunday
School.,, She told me all about her family and that they spoke highly of my family.
She suggested that I might want to meet her Aunt Reva the next time I'm in the area. Later, she told
me that her Aunt Ellen wanted to meet me too. Ellen was eighty-six years old, had survived a battle
with cancer ... but it was back. Ellen was so excited about meeting me, "she wanted a new dress for
the occasion." I was really touched.
However, I lived two hundred fifty miles away, I worked, and it was winter time, so I had to
consider the weather. It was difficult to set a time to make the trip. When Ellen's daughter, Carolyn
confided in m e that if I wanted to see mother, I should hurry, I set a date. I wrote to tell Ellen of my
plans to visit them April 7. Perhaps thinking that she might not be able to hang on, she wrote to me.

Ellen's Letter
Sunday, March 24, 2001
Dear Bonnie,
I so appreciate your letter, even though we have never met, I feel like I already lcnow you.
My mother died June 192 2, before I turned 9 in October. I was the oldest ofher four children. We
stayed with our grandmother Layman until Dad got a housekeeper and took Houston, Jr. and I
home. To this day none of us know why Reva was left with Grandmother Layman for quite some
time. My father remarried in two years.
·
I am not sure that I will be able to meet you on the 7'11 when you come to Reva's. I have had to make
so many trips to Roanoke and Salem to the doctors lately, and they just completely wear me out. I
am looking forward to seeing you later on in Willis.
In my book Aunt Mary was a "saint". When J was little I had the croup. She had to walk to our
house to get her mail. When she came in andfound out how sick I was she went to the swamp and
dug a root and boiled it and made a tea and had me to drink it. I used to know what it was but I am
sorry to say I can no longer remember it. It had a *root sort of like an onion. Can't remember the
taste, but sure it was bitter. Anyway J recovered-she saved rne lots ofsuffering- maybe even my life.
She always wore a bonnet with a night cap under it.
Years ago I went back to the area to try andfind Aunt Mary's house but never could locate it. Eris,
told me that a Black professor from VP! had built a house on the Phillip's land which would be
joining the Stuart land, opposite side ofthe Wade land. I do not know who ownAunt Mary's land
I am sure that you were delighted with thepicture that Lea sent you ofAunt Mary and Ethel Wade.
I know you enjoy hearing from Ethel's daughter Sammie.

I made the trip April 7, 2001. I rushed down the interstate to Salem, Va. When I first arrived at their
home, running a little late, I found Reva, this gracious little white haired lady, standing on the front
steps waiting for me. She greeted me with a big warm smile and a hug, as if we had always known
each other.
She could hardly wait to tell me about "Aunt Mary" but she wanted to share me with her sister Ellen
who was terminally ill in a nearby hospital. Harry drove us to the hospital. At the hospital, Reva
walked beside me holding my hand, Harry walked ahead of us carrying the half-cooked Peace lily
I'd foolishly left in the hot car. Each time she met someone she knew, Reva would introduce me
"This is Aunt Mary's great grand daughter". They smiled and greeted me as ifthey knew who Aunt
Mary was. I smiled too.
When we reached Ellen,s hospital room Reva stepped back. Ellen looked so small and so very ill.
I was a little overwhelmed! My heart went out to her. She said "J know who you are". I laughed
nervously and answered jokingly" Andjust how do you know who I am? She said "Because you look
just like Aunt Mary." At that moment I wished I had been Aunt Mary. I felt as if I had known her
all my life. I had to sit very close to hear her. She held my hands and didn't take her eyes off me.
I've never felt so loved.
Her family sat quietly while she, despite her obvious pain, tried to tell me about my great
grandmother who died sixty years ago. She said "She ~ore ~ool strings in her ears. Her ears were
pierced but she didn,t have earrings so she put wool stnngs m them." I thought, you would have to
be very close to someone to remember that all these years.
She went on to say "She always wore a bonnet ... I don't know why. Couldn't see her hair." I
thought, that's a family thing, Dad's sisters kept their hair covered as they got older too.

It was obvious that her pain was intense, she was holding on just to talk to me. She was having
trouble remembering. So she told me that if she did remember something else, she would tell her
daughter, Carolyn so she could tell me. Then she wanted to hear what I had found out about Aunt
Mary ... so I read to her. She looked like a child listening to Aunt Mary. Not wanting to tire her any
longer, I excused myself; spoke briefly to her daughter and family. Harry and Reva watered the half
cooked lily and we left. I was both saddened and moved by the experience. I wished rd come
sooner, before she became so ill.

Back at Reva's, she p resented me with two hand made wooden baskets given to her and Ellen as
little g irls . T hey were made by my great grandmother in the l 920' s or 30's. The larger basket bad
been given to E lle n (the oldest) and the smaller basket was given to little Reva " a little basket for
a little girl." A lthough, they had cherished them all those years, Reva and Ellen had decided to pass
them on to me for safe keeping. I was so moved; I had to fight back tears. Reva joked that " ifl failed
to take care of them, Aunt Mary, Ellen and she would get me." We laughed and I promised to
cherish them too.
She gave m e a picture of my grandfather John, whom she called "Johnny", Aunt Mary's oldest son",
with their father, Elvin Wade Sr., and a couple other men, all on horse back. The men on the
ground had hunting dogs. I asked if they were going hunting? "Oh goodness no, she replied. "They
didn't have time to hunt; they were foreman on a cattle farm." Her grandfather, Eli owned ET
Wade &amp; Son Livestock Dealers. The picture was taken about 1910. It was great to see a picture of
grandpa John as a yow1g man. (He was seventy years old when I was born.) I was pleased.
She remembered how Aunt Mary and her husband attended their church, Indian Creek Primitive
Baptist, when she was little. They sat in their own little section. Aunt Mary would carry her out side
after service and sit with her in the buggy until her grandmother Layman was ready to go.
Although I was filled with questions, I just listened as she relived memories. She told me how when
she was thirteen years old, her step mother taught her how to bake a cake. Her first cake, in a little
fluted pan was a birthday cake for Aunt Mary. Aunt Mary's birthday was In January (Reva was also
born in January). When the cake was ready she asked her brother to walk with her through the deep
snow to take it to her. Aunt Mary was very pleased and Reva was very proud
Years after Aunt Mary had died, she ran into her son Johnny. He told her how when his mother died
he got he r trunk with all her worldly goods. When he went through it, he found a mound of mold
in the bottom and couldn't imagine what it was. It was a cake ..... the cake she'd made for her
birthday. Reva was crushed to think that Aunt Ma1y didn't eat her cake after all. To make it worse,
her brothers teased her saying it was so bad she couldn't eat it. .. she had to hide it. Reva asked me,
Why do you think Aunt Mary didn't eat my cake? I answered honestly, I think she was so touched
by it ... she tried to keep it. She smiled. That was another family thing ... dad's sisters were good at
packing things away in a trunk for safe keeping.
Then came the time she went to see Aunt Mary and found her door open, a tree limb laying with one
end in the fire and the other out the door into the snow. She asked her father about it later, he told
her it was probably because she had no one to cut it for her. (She would pull it into the house as the
end burned. That bought tears to my eyes. She had two sons, and many grandsons but no one to cut
a log fo r her fire. She was really alone.
Reva's husband Harry sat patiently for a long time. Soon he joined in. Retired from the Highway
dept for many years, h e spent his time making things in the workshop in his basement. He had a
working model ofMaberry's Mill, his favorite. Ironically, I painted a picture ofMabeny's Mill, my
favorite. He gave me a choice of his many works of art. I picked wooden cat and a reindeer with a
red nose. T hey are very special reminders of him.

As my visit was ending, Reva and Harry walked me to my car. I asked, " What do I call you two? She
said quickly, "how about Reva and Harry?" I laughed, No, I'm from the south .. . I can ' t do that." Mr.
&amp; Mrs. Weeks sounds too formal. She said "Well, you can call us Uncle Harry and Aunt Reva ifyou
want." I said ' Okay" We laughed!
I went back to see Ellen again the next morning before my drive back to Northern Virginia. They
said she'd stopped talking after I left. The doctors had limited her visitors to"family only and me."
Her daughter, Carolyn asked the fami ly to wait outside so she could be alone with me. I felt as if I
were. intruding on a very special and private time. Ellen was very weak and I felt bad that I was
causmg her to try to remember. It seemed so insignificant compared to what she was going through
but she wanted to talk. She held my hand and talked very softly. Said she was "son y she hadn't been
able to remember anything more but that she was sure we would nieet again." I told her I was sure
we would too. It was hard to hold back the tears. I gave her a book of prayers w hich I handed to
Carolyn. I said Good bye, kissed her on the forehead and tried to get out before the tears really came.
I left the hospital sobbing. Dear Ellen died two weeks later, April 19, 2001 at her home in Willis.
Ellen had wanted so badly to go with us to find Aunt Mary's house. We made plans and her
daughter, Carolyn would take her place. I'm certain that E llen and Aunt Mary are together again in
Heaven ... holding bands. In the months that followed, I visited Reva and Harry as often as I could.
I value the time I spend with them. r find them witty, charming and funny. She reminds me so much
of Grandma Mae, the maternal grandmother who took care of me and my siblings after my mother's
death.
She still tells me stories of her childhood and from time to time there are more memories of Aunt
Mary. She told me how her parents married at Christmas. They rode a horse and buggy to
Christiansburg to catch a train to Bristol Tennessee. Grandpa John fo llowed them on horse back.
He stayed in Christiansburg with the ho;ses and bugID:' until th~y returned the following day. She
was concerned that she didn't know where he slept while he waited. I couldn' t tell her he probably
slept in the stable with the horses. (It was the South in 1911 .)
Reva said that when I'm holding her hand, I'm holding the hand that held Aunt Mary's hand. T he
first time I said " I love you" to her she said "]love you too, Aunt Mmy. "Harry, Reva' s soulmate,
is just as delightful. They have be~n married over sixty years and are always together.
During my first visit, he sat quietly, watched and listened as we talked. By the time I was ready to
go, he said "Bonnie, you're a nice lady." That j ust made my day. I responded. "Well, thank you
Uncle Harry, I think you' re pretty special too." We had a good laugh.
~s far as_ I can tell, although great grandmother Lucy (Aunt Mary) she was a former slave, she was

Just a neighbor to the Wade family. She did not work for_them, although, it appears that she was
always close. When little Ellen, Houston, Reva and E lvm Jr. lost their mother, she had lost her
husband and her only daughter and grand daughters had moved away. The Wade children needed
to be nurtured, she needed to nurture. It was unconditional love. She loved the children. Clearly they
returned that love .... love transcends all._

how you make them feel!" Maya Angelou

Lucy Mary (Smith) Stuart
1849 - 1941
Although, she was born during slave1y, I can only assume that she was a slave. According to family members,
she claimed to have been sold four times during slavery. She might have been one ofthe marry slaves sent to
Indian Valley lo lend the ca/tie ofJudge Fleming Saunders and others before the Civil War. Or one of the
slaves owned and leased by the County ofFranklin. In any case, she was about sixteen when freedom came
in 1865.

Lucy Mary born January 1849 was the only child of Charlotte and T. Smith ofFranklin County
Virginia. She married James Stuart of Henry County, the eighth day of April, 1869 in Floyd
County, the day after his twenty-fifth birthday. They settled in a three-roomed cabin on a hillside
in the Indian Creek section of Indian Valley. (between the Phillips and Cox's and very near the
Wades.) They were farmers or share croppers who could both read and write. They had four
children. One daughter, Nancy Ellen -born August 1870 and three sons: John Herny- born June 15,
1872, William James- born May 25, 1875 and Walter born July 1877 Walter died of colic July 1878
he was a year old.
Ellie, (Nancy Ellen) married a neighbor, James Anderson Stovall in 1893. They had six daughters;
Mary, Clara, Laura, Martha, Nannie and Nora.
Their second so~ William, known as Will, married another neighbor, Alma Saunders in 1896.
They had four children: E lmer, Mary B., Flora J. and James. That marriage ended and he married
Judy about 1909.
Their oldest son, Johnny (my grandfather) was the last to leave home. He was 27 years old when he
married 15 year old, Mary Ellen Phillips, October 8, 1899. She was the daughter of neighbors,
Virginia and Samuel Phillips. They were listed as part of the household of his parents on the 1900
census, along with Lucy Mary's widowed mother, Charlotte. They had nineteen children, only
eleven of them survived. They were: Johnny Lee (1904), Grace Ellen (1907), Essie Pearl, 1909.
Samuel (1910) Virginia Mae (1913), Minnie Augustus (1916), Robert Otis (1919), Royal Willard
(1921 ), Matthew Alden (1923), Archie (1925) and Clevie (1929).
They were farmers and Johnny worked with cattle for Eli Wade; he was a co-worker and friend to
his son, Elvin Wade. They had a telephone; he owned a model T Ford and taught the young women
in the Wade family to drive. His wife Mary cooked, canned, cleaned, sewed and raised eleven
children while she took in laundry for her neighbors. They even boarded the black school teachers
in the area.
Lucy and James were married forty-eight years. He died in May 1917. Their daughter, Ellie and her
family moved to Crawford Pennsylvania about 1920. Will's children are believed to have gone to
West Virginia.
As soon as they were old enou~ Jolmny's children went to work His daughters became domestic
servants for white families in Floyd, then Roanoke. The older boys went to work in the coal mines
of West Virginia. Samuel died of pneumonia while recovering from surgery in West Virginia in
1934 at age24. Augustus was killed in an auto accident in 1936 in Tennessee atage 20. The younger
boys went to war; they joined the Navy and Marines.

After which, Otis married Iver Gertrude Stuart (my mother) in 1940 and settled on the other end
of the county.
When young Ona Wade died in June 1922, Lucy Mary was seventy-three years old, w idowed and
alone; her only daughter had moved away, her sons were working hard to care for their families and
her grandchildren were already at work. She needed the Wade children as they needed her. The love
was mutual. There is no indication that she ever belonged to them ... except in her heart.
Great Grandmother Lucy Mary Smith Stuart d ied of natural causes at age 92 on July 1, 194 I in
Indian VaIIey ... before I was born. She was laid to rest in the Wade family church cemetery, the
Inclian Creek Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery, in Indian Creek. Reva paid for her headstone.
Although she didn't say, she gave me her death certificate which leads me to believe that she paid
for her funeral as well. I shall be eternally grateful . - ***I would like to Thank:

Leah Wade Ford; Sammie Wade; Carolyn Keith Shockley; Ellen Wade Keith; and Reva Wade
Weeks &amp; Harry C. Weeks.
Without them I would never have known of my great grandmother and the legacy of love she left
behind. Nor would I have experienced the love and friendship I've gotten from them.
This is dedicated to:

History of Quakers in Southwest Virginia
By Anthony Lowe
Sixteen years after Quakerism had its beginnings in Virginia along the eastern waterways in
1656, George Fox, the English founder of the movement visited the colony. Prior to Fox's 1672
visit to Virginia, his trusted associate William Edmundson also traveled through the Old
Dominion hoping to stir up the Quaker congregations there. One of the places he was most
successful was in Henrico County in the area around Green Spring, plantation home of Sir
William Berkley, the then governor of Virginia. There were a few Quaker families living in that
area when Edmundson passed through, and as a result of the services he held there, several new
converts joined the group. A1nong them was a man named John Pleasants from nearby Curles
Neck Plantation.
Born to a weaver' s family in Norwich, England on February 27, 1644, John Pleasants came to
Virginia at the age of 21 in 1665. He began his life in the New World as an assistant to a Jam es
River merchant. He began investing his earnings in land and by 1672 when he met William
Edmundson, Pleasants had acquired a substantial amount of land along the James where it makes
several loops on its trip from the hills to the sea, a place appropriately called Curles. Pleasants
was s uccessful enough and attracted enough attention that, like his neighbors the Randolphs at
Turkey Island, he was chosen to be a member of the House of Burgesses, but refused the
appointment because he would have had to take an oath which went against his Quaker beliefs.
Shortly after his conversion to Quakerism, John Pleasants married Jane Lacrome Tucker, the
widow of Captain Samuel Tucker. Pleasants announced their intentions to the community, then
had a m eeting for worship in his warehouse in which they recited their vows to one another
without any clergy present as was Quaker custom. Their marriage was evidently accepted since
Henrico records refer to Mrs. Pleasants as early as 1678. Sometime later on a visit to Quakers in
York County, John and Jane recited their vows again before witnesses in order to have the
marriage officially recorded in the minutes of a Friends' Meeting. The date of this entry is
November 19, 1680. By then, John and Jane already had three children of their own in addition
to her two daughters by Samuel Tucker.
John Pleasants made his will in Henrico County on October 1, 1690. He left a parcel of land
to the Quakers in Henrico County on which to build a meeting house and start a cemetery. In
1692, there were three groups of Quakers meeting in Henrico, one at the house of Thomas
Holmes, one at the house of Mary Maddox, and the monthly meeting itself which met in the
home of the Pleasants. It was during this period that Jane Pleasants was recorded as a minister
among Quakers in Virginia. During her lifetime, she was the only resident recorded minister
among Friends north of the James River. John Pleasants died on May 12, 1698 at which time the
meeting house had not been built. On June 4, 1699 a group of Friends from Henrico meeting in
the home of William Porter Jr. pledged portions of their tobacco crop towards the building of a
meeting house. The names on that list are the closest thing that exists to a membership roll for
Henrico Meeting. They included Jane Pleasants, James Howard, Henry Watkins Sr., Edward
Hughes, William Porter Jr., John Crew, John Robinson, Ephriam Ga.rhite, William Ladd, Robert
Hughes, Samuel Garritt, Edward Mosby, John Pleasants Jr., Joseph Pleasants, Henry Watkins Jr.,
Nicholas Hutchens, Benjamin Woodson, and John Woodson.

By 1702, Henrico Monthly Meeting had three separate congregations meeting regularly, the
original meeting now called Curles in Henrico Coun ty, Black Creek Meeting in New Kent
County, and Howards Meeting in Charles City. When the Virginia Yearly Meeting was divided
into two quarterly meetings, Upper and Lower, these three meetings north of the James formed
the Upper Quarterly Meeting.
An early list of the members of the meeting in New Kent County includes: Charles Fleming,
John Raley, Thomas Moorman, James Woody, Rice Royals, Richmond Terrell , Sisely Ellison,
Albert MacKenny, Thomas Stanley, Thomas Harris, William Johnson, John Johnson, Robert
Ellyson, Gerard Ellyson, and Robert Hughes.

Cedar Creek Meeting in Hanover County
Like their counterparts south of the James, Quakers in Henrico were more than willing to
move into new areas and establish communities where they could live and worship in freedom.
Several Quaker families moved into the newly opened area northwest of Henrico that became
known as Hanover County and built a meeting house there by 1719. One of the leaders of the
group was Thomas Stanley. As early as 1719, there were complaints from the Established
Church clergy in Hanover that Thomas Stanley's sons, John and James, did not pay their tithes to
the chw·ch, nor did they present their children for christening and baptism. Born around 1670,
Thomas Stanley was about 50 years old at the time. He had three married sons with families,
James, John, and Thomas Jr. who were a part of the meeting along with his daughter Mary who
was married to John Harris, the first clerk of the newly formed Cedar Creek Meeting. It was
noted in the minutes in 1724 that John Harris was imprisoned for refusing to pay his tithe to the
Church of England.
A few years after Cedar Creek was formed, the Great Awakening began in America. Like
other denominations, Quakers took advantage of the renewed interest in religion and recorded
ministers traveled among Friends holding evangelical meetings attempting to make new
converts. Joseph Newby of North Carolina held a series of meeting at Cedar Creek in 1738 that
more than doubled the size of the meeting. Among the new converts were William and Mary
Ann Ballard and their children, his cousin another William Ballard with his wife Sarah and their
children, the Richard Ballard family, Joseph Anthony, and the families of two immigrant
Scottish brothers, Jolm and William Johnson who had come from the meeting in New Kent
County, and two families related by marriage, the Moonnans and the Clarkes.
The latter group had all come to Virginia together. The founder of the family, Zachariah
Moorman married Mary Candler at Isle of Wight, England. He came to Virginia in 1669 with
his two sons Charles and Thomas Moorm~ and his daughter and son-in-law, Sally and Micajah
Clarke. In the next generation. Christopher Clarke (1681-1754), son of Micajah and Sally
Mo01u1an Clarke married Penelope Jolmson, a sister of William and John Johnson and moved
into Hanover County about the same time as Thomas Stanley. Charles Moorman, son of
Zachari~ a lso settled in the area. He and his family joined Cedar Creek about the same time as
the Clarkes and Johnsons along with Daniel Candler, a nephew of Zachariah Moorman' s wife.
As a result of the growth, a new and larger meeting house was built in 1739.
The traveling Quaker minister John Woolman visited Cedar Creek Meeting on May 14,
1757 during his journey through the South to speak against slavery. Quakers in Virginia did not
respond as he had hoped initially. The Yearly Meeting that year condemned slave trade, but did
not address the institution itself. Cedar Creek was one of the first Quaker meetings in Virginia to
outlaw slavery among its members in the late l 760's. As a result of the work of Cedar Creek and
other meetings, the Virginia Yearly Meeting in 1782 made the keeping of slaves grounds for
disownment. This heroic step for freedom and equality, however, made it even more difficult for
Quakers to peacefully co-exist among their slave holding neighbors. Once again, Quakers began
moving westward, searching for less populated areas where they could live out their testimonies
without reprisal.

Although numbers of Friends left the more populated eastern part of Virginia, there were
four individuals who all came out of these families at Cedar Creek and each. in their own way,
had a tremendous impact on the spread of Quakerism into Southwestern Virginia: Sarah Clarke
Lynch, Byrum and Eleanor Candler Ballard, and Zachariah StanJey. Their stori es are closely
tied to those of the Quaker meetings in the western part of the state.
South River Meeting in Campbell County
Among Christopher and Penelope Johnson Clarke's ten children was a daughter named Sarah
who was born in 1716. While she was stiH a young girl, her fathe r took on an Irish apprentice
named Charles Lynch who was born in Ireland in 1705 and came to Virginia as a teenager in
1720. Charles Lynch and Sarah Clarke were married in 1733. They moved up the James River
and established a plantation near the present site of the city of Lynchburg in 1752. Charles
Lynch who never became a Quaker died jn 1753 and for the next four years, Sarah held regul ar
meetings for worship in her home with no one in attendance but her six children. Eventually
Sarah's brothers Bolling and Edward Clarke settled nearby and became a part of the worship
group.
A meeting known as South River because it was on the south side of the James was
established under the care of Cedar Creek. It was set off as an independent meeting in 1757 and
the meeting house was completed in October of the same year. Twenty-two year old William
Candler, son of Daniel and Hannah Candler, was named clerk of the meeting. During the same
year, John Lynch, son of Charles and Sarah, started operating a ferry across the James. This was
the beginning of the city of Lynchburg, which grew out of the Quaker settlement along the
James. Eventually descendants of the Jolmsons, Moormans, and other famil ies moved into the
area and became a part of that settlement.
In _1767, South River Meeting disowned Sarah Clarke Lynch for marrying a non-Quaker,
Captam John Ward. She married Charles Lynch before her family became Quaker, so there was
no breach of the uniform discipline in that marriage. She had been a Quaker for more than thirty
years, however, when she married Jolm Ward, and in accordance with the discipline, she was put
out of the meeting for marrying out of unity. Charles and Sarah Clarke Lynch's six children
were:
1. Penelope Lynch born 1734 married Robert Adams
2. Charles Lynch born 1736 married Anne Terrell
3. Sarah Lynch born 1738 married Micajah Terrell
4. John Lyne~ founder of Lynchburg born 1740, married Mary Bowles
5 · Christopher Lynch born 1742 marrted Anne Ward
6. Edward Lynch
The South River Meeting was one of the largest and strongest in Virginia for about seventy
years. Quakers began leaving Campbell County for the free states beyond the Ohio River around
1810, partl~ due to the slavery issue, but also because of the opposition their stand for peace
created dunng the War of 1812. By the 1830's the pro-slavery sentiment in Lynchburg was
strong enough to cause many of the remaining Quakers to leave for Ohio, and in 1837 South
River Meeting ceased to exist. Leaving the city they had founded for a new beginning else

where. the Quakers deeded their property to the Presbyterians who honored them by calling their
place of worship Quaker Memorial Presbyterian Church.
Goose Creek Meeting in Bedford County
Byrum Ballard, son of William and Mary Ann Byrum Ballard, was born in the Cedar Creek
community o n February 27, 1739. After the death of his first wife, William Ballard married
Rachel C larke Moorman, widow of Thomas Moorman, and sister of Sarah Clarke Lynch, so
Byrum Ballard was a step cousin to the Lynches. As a young m~ he followed the example of
the Lynches a nd other Quaker neighbors and moved up the Jan1es, eventually becoming a part of
South Rive r Mee ting. He may have been a part of the group who attempted to establish a
meeting in Bedford CoWlty in 1758, but had to abandon it due to an Indian uprising. On August
20, 1763 Byrum Ballard married Eleanor Candler at South River Meeting. Born on October 10,
1740, E leanor was the daughter of Daniel and Hannah Candler, the family for whom Candlers
Mountain was named. E leanor was the sister of William Candler who served as clerk of South
Rive r Meeting.
Afte r the ir marriage, Byrun1 and Eleanor settled in Bedford County and were among a small
group of Frie nds who revived the meeting that had been started there earlier. A gifted leader and
sp eaker, Eleanor Ballard was recorded as a minster among Friends in 1787, and served as a
spiritual guide to the Quaker meetings on the Virginia frontier until her death in 1791. The work
in Bedford County which was begun under the care of South River was set apart as a full fledged
Quaker meeting known as Goose Creek in 1794. Most of Byrum and Eleanor Ballard' s children
grew up and were married there:
1. Mary Ballard ( June 1O, 1764 - 1813) married Moses Cadwalader Jr. at Goose Creek
M eeting in Bedford County on May 23 , 1792. They later moved with her family to Grayson
County, Virg inia.
2. Betty Ballard was born November 1, 1765 and appears to have died unmarried
3. William Ballard (July 20, 1767 - 1832) married Elizabeth Anthony at Goose Creek Meeting
on April 24, 1788. His family also ended up in Grayson County.
4. Byrum Ballard (May 14, 1769 -July, 1769)
5 . Amos Ballard (November 15, 1770 - February 5, 1859) was disowned by Friends for
participation in the military. He married Jane Kenny in a civil ceremony in Grayson County
on October 20, 1803.
6. B yrum Ballard (June 9, 1773 -November 19, 1774)
7. Mourning Ballard was born May 14, 1775 and married Joseph Morland at Goose Creek
Meeting on August 20, 1794.
8. Judith Ballard was born December 10, 1779 and married out of unity to a Mr. Cunningham
around 1800.
Byrwn Ballard married a widow, Sarah Cadwalader Hutton, on September 20, 1792 at Goose
Creek Meeting. She was the sister of his son-in-law, Moses Cadwalader. On May 2, 1795,
Byrum and his wife Sarah and their infant son Philip aJong with his unmarried daughters Betty
and Judith, were given certificates to Westfield Monthly Meeting in Surry County, North
Cru·olina. They actually moved to Grayson County, Virginia, but since there was no Quaker

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Page 80

meeting there, their memberships were transferred to the closest one, even though it was a part of
the North Carolina Yearly Meeting rather than Virginia Yearly Meeting.
Over the next few years most of the Quakers in Bedford County followed the Ballards to
Grayson County. As a result, Goose Creek Meeting was laid down in J8 J4, and the Quakers that
remained in the area once again became a part of South River Meeting.
Mount Pleasant Meeting in Grayson (now Carroll ) County
A number of Quakers in North Carolina moved westward about the same time as those settling
in Campbell County, Virginia. These North Carolina Friends established Cane Creek Meeting
in Orange County in 1752. They were joined by an influx of Quakers from Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, and Maryland who came down the Great Wagon Road through the Shenandoah Valley
and became the nucleus of New Garden Meeting in Guilford County in 1754. Other famflies
came from Hopewell Meeting in the Shenandoah Valley which had been established by Quakers
c~miog ~ut of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. They also settled in Guilford County on the Deep
River as it was known and established a meeting there about the same time.
In ord~r for a new meeting to be established, a group of Quakers had to petition an existing

congregation for permission to do so. The new group known as preparative or indulged meeting
woul~ operate under the auspices of the sponsoring or parent meeting until such time as the
established group was satisfied that the new work was able to function on its own. This process
often too~ seve~al years. During the preparative period, the existing meeting held the
member~hip certificates of the new congregation, and released them only when the new
fellowship was finally given independent status as a monthly meeting.
A group of Quakers in Surry and Stokes counties began meeting at Tom's Creek in 1771
under the care of New Garden Meeting. They requested preparative meeting status in 1786 and
were set off as. an independent meeting in 1788 at which time their name was changed to
Westfield Meetmg. Quakers who moved from central and southeastern Virginia into the
southwest found that Westfield was the closest meeting to them, so many of them, like Byrum
Ballard and his family, also transferred their memberships to there even though they never
actually lived in North Carolina This was to be the case with all the Quakers who moved into
Southwest_ Virginia Because they joined a meetings in North Carolina until they could establish
one of their ~wn, the meetings they did eventually form were under the care of North Carolina
Yearly Meetmg. Goose Creek Meeting in Bedfo.rd County was as far west as the Virginia
Yearly Meeting was ever extended.
Most of Byrum's family as well as a number of others from Goose Creek moved into the area
as well. In 1797, Byrum purchased seven acres of land in what was then Grayson County from
the Reddick family for a Quaker meeting house and cemetery. Known as Mount Pleasant
Meeting, it was set off as an independent meeting by North Carolina Yearly Meeting in 1801.
Byrum Ballard married for a third time at Mount Pleasant in 1807 to 23 year old Elizabeth Davis
(he was 68 at the time). Byrum died in 1817 and was buried in an unmarked grave in the
cemetery which he had provided.

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

While for the most part slavery was not an issue in the western part of Virginia, the Quaker
peace testimony was. Prior to the Revolutionary War, the English government had recognized
the Quakers as pacifists and excused the men from military service with an Exemption From
Military Service certificate signed by the clerk of the meeting of which the individual was a
m ember. Their own countrymen, however, were not so charitable. During the War of 1812,
Quakers who refused to take up arms against the British were often fined or imprisoned or had
their p ersonal property confiscated to help support the military. In addition, their neighbors
found it hard to understand why Quaker men refused to join the militia and do their part in
protecting their settlements from the Indian uprisings that took place along the frontier.
In the decade following the War of 1812, more and more Quakers moved westward into the
newly established Ohio and Indiana territories. By 1826, most of the Quakers had left the
mountains of Southwest Virginia, and as a result of this, Mount Pleasant Meeting was laid down
in 1826.
Many of those who left Grayson County settled in the same area of Ohio and
established a meeting there which they named Mount Pleasant, so the legacy from Byrum and
Eleanor Ballard and other V irginia Friends continued in another place.

Fruit Hill Meeting in Carroll County
Zachariah Stanley, another important figure among Quakers in Southwest Virginia, was the
son of Thomas and E lizabeth Crew Stanley, born October 6, 1737. His parents, both of whom
were from Quaker families, were married at Cedar Creek on September 6, 1726. Elizabeth was
the daughter of John and Sarah Gatley Crew, part of the original membership of Henrico
Meeting, and Thomas was the son of Thomas Stanley Sr. who founded the Cedar Creek Meeting.
There was also a strong connection between his family and the Ballards. Zachariah' s brother
John was married to A nne Ballard, daughter of William Ballard who moved from Cedar Creek to
North Carolina, and Zachariah's sister Anne Stanley married William Ballard, son of the same
William.
As a young man, Zachariah, with his cousin Strangemai1 Stanley, transferred his
membership to New Garden Meeting. The certificate of removal in good standing was issued by
Cedar Creek Meeting on September 8, 1764 and hand carried by Zachariah to New Garden
where it was recorded on December 24, 1764.
While in North Carolina, Zachariah met his future wife, Susaima Mendenhall They were
married recorded at New Garden November 21, 1765. After the births of their first two
chlldren, Zachariah requested certificates for his family to return to Cedar Creek Meeting in
1769. For some undisclosed reason, Cedar Creek refused to accept Zachariah back into
membership, noting only that charges of misconduct against him were being investigated. The
problem was worked out and he was accepted into membership in 1771. Susanna Mendenhall
Stanley died during this time. On March 6, 1775, Zachariah married Sarah Crewe of Charles
City County at Cedar Creek. She was the daughter of Ellyson and Lydia Ladd Crew, and a great
granddaughter of John and Sarah Crew.

In 1780, Zachariah was once again charged with misconduct and put on probation ~y the
meeting. In 1784, he requested certificates of removal to Pe nnsylvania for the three children
born to bis first wife to attend school there. By that time, four more children had been born.
Sarah Stanley and the four children received certificates to South Rive r M eeting in 1787, but
Cedar Creek refused to grant a certificate of good standing to Zacharial1, again claiming
misconduct on his part. After a lengthy battle with Cedar Creek, Zachariah was d isowned on
April 14, 1787 for "using spiritous liquors to excess."
Zachariah was among the group from South River that relocated to Grayson Colll1ty. In 1792,
he received a grant of 1,000 acres of land on Burk's Fork. As he acquired more land, he sold off
parcels of it, many of them to Quaker families who were coming to the area. As a result, there
were soon enough Quakers living on Burk' s Fork to start a meeting there. There are records
indicating Quakers were meeting along the creek as early as 1797, though they did not yet have a
meeting house. Like other Quaker groups, they met in the homes of various members W1til they
were able to build a place of worship Because most of them were orchard keepers, the meeting
was called Fruit Hill.
On February 22, 1805, though no longer a Quaker himself, Zachariah Stanley deeded 22 acres
of land for the meetinghouse and cemetery to the trustees of Fn1it Hill Meeting: N icholas
Robinso~ William Williams, John Robinson Jr., and Nathan Newby. Zachariah's wife and
children were active in the meeting though he himself never asked to be reinstated. His land
holdings continued to increased such that by 1809 he owned 6,422 acres in what is now Carroll
County and 1,3 81 acres in Floyd. He also fell on hard times and was forced to mortgage most of
his property the same year. His estate settlement was filed on February 27, 1810 with his son
Abraham Stanley and Libni Coffin as his executors.
Like most of the other Quakers in the area, the Fruit Hill congregation which was under the
care of Mount Pleasant Monthly Meeting, began looking towards the new territory in Ohio right
after the War of 1812, and by 1825 the meeting was gone.
Children of Zachariah and Susanna Mendenhall Stanley:
1. E lizabeth Stanley born August 1 1766 in North Carolina, was sent to school in
Pennsylvania in 1784. She married A~on Wood in Montgomery County, P ennsylvania on
October 31, 1786.
2. John Stanley born November 12 1768 was disowned by Quakers for marrying his first
cousin Ca~erine Elizabeth Stanley, da~ghter of John and Anne Ballard Stanley in 1797. He sold
the land his father left him in Carroll County and migrated to Indiana and raised a large family
there. He died January 8, 1826.
3. Beulah Stanley born around 1770 married Robert Robertson and moved on to Ohio

Dear Fellow Members,
Once again I am pleased to serve as your society's president. I have been a member
for 14 years and I hope to see the society continue for many more.
This year will be an exciting one for members living in the Roanoke, VA area. In May
the National Genealogical Society (NGS) will hold its conference in Richmond. This is
to tie in with the 400th year anniversary of the founding of Jamestown. The conference
will run from May 16-1 9. On the 19th the society will have a bus going to Richmond
so that members can visit the NGS Family History Fair with over 150 exhibitors,
the museums that will be open and, of course, the State Library for research . The
cost will be $25 for members, $30 for non-members. The Abbott bus will pick at
Tanglewood Mall at 6:30am and in Daleville at 7:00am. We expect to arrive in
Richmond at about 10:30am and will leave at 4:00pm for return to Roanoke about
7:00pm. If you would like to go please mail your check to P.O. Box 12485,
Roanoke, VA 24026 before April 30. Please include your name, address,
telephone number and where you want to be picked up. If we are unable to fill the
bus, your check will be returned. For more information call Pam Young at 540853-2073. This is great opportunity, don't miss out!!
In the fall Roanoke is scheduled to play host to the Virginia Genealogical Society state
conference. The society's role in this is yet to be worked out but we hope to play an
important part in making the conference a success.
Happy Hunting,

K~

Letter From Our Irnmediate Past President
Greetings Fellow Treasure Hunters!

It has been a great year. l have enjoyed working with the talented cast at SVGS Elaine Powers who
got our wonderful speakers, Susan Hays, who tried to keep me on track, Mickey Prescott our
corresponding secretary, Don Vaughan our money man, Jim Nelson who keeps track of all of us,
Michael Blankenship ed itor of the VAN, Gene Swartzell the past president, and the lady who started
it all Babe Fowler. Thank you for the help and guidance you gave me.

I want to thank those who have contributed to the VAN most recently Judith Blackwell, Lois
Blankenship, Mary Ann Sink Barnes and Jolm Edmonds. I want to encourage you to be active in
yow· society. It's your contributions that keep us going.
We had a great tw·n out Janua1y 20 at the Bring a Treasure meeting and are thinking of doing it again
next January. Thanks to the many members who shared their family stories and treasures.
Don't forget the National Genealogical Society Conference and Family History Fair inRlchmond
May 16 - 19. The Virginia Room's Laura Wickstead will be speaking 11 :00 AM Friday on Treasures
of the Blue Ridge and Beyond. This is a great opportunity to not only hear noted speakers but to see
a variety of vendors. We may try to get a bus together to go May 19 (Saturday) - more on that to
follow. In November the Virginia Genealogical Society will be holding its conference in Roanoke.
It's a great year to be a genealogist living in Virginia!
Karen Kappesser, who has been active and held several positions in the society, is the new SVGS
president I encourage you to come meet Karen at our next meeting March 17, let her know what
you'd like your society to be doing. Please let me know topics you'd be interested in hearing about
or ideas for programs.
Looking forward to seeing you at the next meeting!

family Ylistory fair
Richard (Dick) Cheatham, a descendant of John Rolfe and Pocahantas, will provide a
" Welcome to the Virginia Colony" to attendees at the National Genealogical Society
banquet at the NGS Conference in the States &amp; Family History Fair on Friday 18th May
2007 at the Richmond Marriott Hotel.
Appearing in the character and dress of John Rolfe, Cheatham, a 14th generation
descendant of John Rolfe and Pocahontas, will provide the same welcome that John
Rolfe would have given to new arrivals to Jamestown. Rolfe will talk about many of the
important events that preceded their arrival and about many of the important individuals
who played a part in the founding of Jamestown in 1607 and during the next several
years. At the end of his presentation, he will answer questions that John Rolfe would not
have been able to answer.
The year 2007 marks the 400th anniversary of Jamestown, established by Sir Walter
Raleigh in 1607. John Rolfe was the savior of the English colony - the failing experiment
at Jamestown which became "America." The marriage between John Rolfe and
Pocahantas created an eight-year period of peace between the English and Powhatans
- known as the " Peace of Pocahantas" - saving perhaps hundreds of lives. John Rolfe
was also a member of America ' s first democratic parliament in 1619 called the General
Assembly.
Richard (Dick) Cheatham, a native of Richmond, Virginia, is founder and director of
Living History Associates. A graduate of Virginia Military Academy and a school teacher,
museum educator and television reporter, he has appeared on the BBC and The
Learning Channel and has been interviewed on Entertainment Tonight and the Voice of
America in addition to many other TV and radio stations. Dick' s interest in history flows
directly from his strong and broad interest in ideas - why people do what they do.
The National Genealogical Society was founded in 1903, and is the premier national
society for everyone from the beginner to the most advanced family historian. The NGS
serves its members by providing genealogical skill development through education,
information, publications, research assistance, and networking opportunities.

Peter and Jacob Coger
Who Were Their Parents!

By Barbara Cogar 1rwin

Peter and Jacob Coger were brothers who fought together in the Revolutionary
War under the command of Col. George Rogers Clark in the conquest o r Illinois in 177 879. Little is known of their lives prior to their service in that campaign. Jacob left no
written record, but Peter did provide some information in two pension applications under
a law passed by the Virginia Assembly on June 7, 1832 providing for soldiers o f the
Revolutionary War. 1
He first applied to the Lewis County Court of Virginia on December 3rd of that
year. He stated that he was 79 years of age and that he first entered the service in
Rockingham County, Virginia as a volunteer in July of 1777. After givi ng an account of
his several tenns of service, he said he was discharged towards the end of October in
I 781 whereupon he returned to his residence in Rock ingham County. He was then given
several questions to answer under oath. To these he replied that he was born in the State
of Pennsylvania but did not recollect the name of the county, that he was 79 years of age
but had no record of his age other than the account given by his parents. He stated further
that his discharge papers had been lost. Peter was then placed on the pension rolls and
received .a pension until the fo llowing year.
On 5 Aug 1833 the commissioner of pensions notified him that he was being
removed from the pension rolls and that his papers were being returned because he had
not provided proof of his service. He was asked specifical ly to provide proof oC hi s
service under Col. George Rogers Clark.
One year later, on 18 Aug 1834, Peter returned to the Lewis County Courthouse
and stated to the court that he didn 't know his age, that he was raised in Rockingham
County, VA and that he was drafted in the year 1777 at the age of l 6 years to serve in the
battle at Point Pleasant.
It was not until 5 Feb 1836, when two payrolls from the Illinois campaign of
1778-79 bearing the names of Peter Coger and Jacob Coger were found, that Peter again
traveled to the Lewis County Courthouse to apply for a pension. T here he stated that he
was upwards of eighty but that there was no record of his age. He added that he had

volunteered for a te1m of one year with hi s brother Jacob "to join the expedition under
taken by Col. George Rogers Clark agai nst the British and Indians in the Illinois
Country" Their term of service expired and they were honorably discharged at Fort
Vincennes, but "Owing to the ill health of both Declarant and his brother Jacob, w ho had
the fever and ague, they did not reach home until July 1779." When questioned he said
that he was born "on the Hawks bill in the County of Shenandoah, State of Virginia", that
he was living in Rockingham County, VA at the time he entered the service of the U nited

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Page 9

States and that hi s company officers were his neighbors in his youth. He further stated
that shortly after the war he had moved to Franklin Co., VA.
Peter also stated that he was at the time a citizen of Kenhawa (Kanawha) County,
State of Virginj~ but that he applied to the Lewis County Court because "he is a very old
and infirm man, that he li ves near the line dividing the two counties, that from his house
to KenJ1awa. a considerable part of the way is wilderness and he is unable to get on and
off his horse without assistance, that between his house and Weston he has relatives
li ving w ho can when he comes to Weston come with him and assist him."
On Peter's second pension application in the Spring of 1837 his brother-in-law,
Tunis McElwain, swore that " he has been acquainted with Peter Coger from the days of
their youth ... that he well recollects that the said Peter Coger and his brother Jacob Coger
were absent at times from the neighborhood where they were raised, in the County of
Rockingham in the State of Virginia during the period of the Revolutionary War, and
upon their return was in formed by the said Peter Coger and Jacob Coger that they had
been in the Army of the United States then engaged in the struggle for Independence."
Peter' s second application was accepted and he was restored to the pension roll s. He
rece ived a pe nsion until hi s death in 1841.
These pension claims of Peter Coger provide only a brief account of his long life
and li ttle concerning the life of his brother Jacob. Although Peter refers to "his parents"
he does not name them. Some descendants believe that Peter and Jacob were sons of the
German immigrant Hans Jacob Coger but.have offered no documented proof. Therefore_.
further research into Virginia court records has been conducted in the hope of learning
more about origins and lives of the two brothers.
Peter returned to his residence in Rockingham Cow1ty after his service where on
3 Sep 178 l he was united in marriage with Mary McElwai.n, a sister of the previously
m e ntioned Tunis McElwain. That sarne day the marriage of Thomas McElwain (brother
of Mary and Tunis) and Francis Price was also celebrated, with the same minister
presiding over what appeared to be a double wedding.
Three weeks later on 24 Sep 178 l , Peter Coger and Ephraim Hop.lcins witnessed a
2
deed of bargain and sale from Samuel Philips and his wife Eleanor to Jonah Histon.
Although Peter stated in his pension application that he had moved to Franklin
Co., VA after his return to Rockingham Co., records show that he first moved to
Botetowt Co., VA that adjoins Franklin County. His name is found on the 3 1 August
3
1782 list of Capt. Neeley's Company of Botetourt Co., VA Militia. That same year his
brother Jacob and another fon11er Rockingham County resident, Godfrey Hamilton were
on the Botetourt Cow1ty Personal Property Tax Lists. These taxes were mandatory under
a law passed by the Virginia Assembly that required all white males on or over the age of
2 1 to pay a tithe, whether or not they were landowners. Each tithable was also taxed on
such personal property as horses, mares or colts, mules and cattle. Each year the head of
the household was to take hi s list of the tithable males in his household and taxable

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Page 10

personal property to the district commissioner. These tax lists are important because they
make it possible to follow a taxpayer if he should move from one co unty to another
within the Virginia.
Godfrey Hantilton had a long personal relati onship with the two brothers, a
relationship that probably began in Rockingham County. He is first fo und in the Augusta
Co., VA County Court in May of 1772 when his sui t against George McNeil was agreed. 4
He probably lived in that part of Augusta County that in 1778 became Rockingham
County for on 24 Aug 1778 the Sheri ff of Rockingham County was ordered to take
custody of two orphan girl s in Hamilton's custody. 5 Three months later Hamilton and h is
wife were summoned to the next court to explai n why they had not delivered up the two
6
orphans as ordered. This is the only record that Han1 ilton had a wife, but unfortunately
her name and the names of the two girls were not recorded nor was the outcome of the
case. No records were found in prior Augusta County Order Books or in those of
Rockingham County concerning Hamilton's custody of the two girls as was required by
law when the custody of minors was granted.
On 27 Mar 1782 in a session held in the county court to adj ust claims against the
Commonwealth of Virginia, Hamilton's claim fo r six yards of cloth at five shillings
7
per yard was approved. Shortly afterward he moved to Botetourt County, VA where in
the following August James Simpkins brought sui t against him, the first of many suits in
the succeeding years involving Hamilton. 8

In 1784 Peter, Jacob and Hamilton paid taxes on personal property in Botetourt
County. They appear to be living on two tracts of land on the waters of Back Creek, a
branch of the Roanoke, one of 188 acres and another of 160 acres. Hamilton had applied
for patents on the two trac(s when he fi rst arri ved in Botetourt County, but the grants
were not made until 23 Aug 1794 and 26 Aug 1794.9 Since nei ther Peter nor Jacob
owned land at that time, it is possible that they were helping Hamilton clear and cultivate
his land as was required by the terms of the patent. T he following October Ha mi lton was
appointed surveyor of a road that terminated a t his property line and all of those living o n
the waters of Back Creek were to assist him in build ing the road and keeping it in
10
repair. Peter and Jacob were probably two of those who worked on the road.
There appears to have been a close relationship between Jacob and Godfrey
HamiJton. h1 the fo llowing November Hamil ton gave to Jacob "for and in consideration
of the Love and good Will and Affection which I have and do bear towards m y Lovi ng
Son-in-Law Jacob Koger ... all singul ar my Goods and Chattles now being in my Present
Dwelling house." Peter Coger, David Branier and E lizabeth Poor witnessed the deed of
gift. Two years later in October 1786, Peter Coger and Elizabeth Poor presented (he deed
in October to the Botetourt County Court where it was proved and ordered recorded. 11
The exact nature of the relationship between Jacob and Hamilton is not known for
at that time the term son-in-law could also have meant stepson. Jacob would have been
Hamilton's son-in-Jaw if he had married Hamilton's daughter. But although Hamilton
was married, there i~ no record that he had any chil dren. Jacob would have been h is

stepson if 1lamilton had married Jacob's mother. Unfortwiately there are no records to
establish eithe r of these relationshi ps. Nevertheless, at some point in Rockingham County
a close relationship did develop between Hamilton and Jacob and this relationship
included Peter.
On 5 Jun 1786 Hamilton deeded to Jacob "all my lands that I now possess in the
said county w ith the plantation that I now live on with likewise all my furniture and
movables for his lands and properties that the said Jacob Koger had in Kanducky." A
condition of the B ill of Sale was that Hamilton was to have use of the land, household
furniture and movables for four years, but that Hamilton wou ld give th.e m up if Jacob had
a chance to sell the said lands before the four years expired. It the land was sold, Jacob
was to " help to move the said Godfrey Hamilton to the place where he intended to
move.,, Peter Coger witnessed the bond. 11
In 1787 the Virginia Assembly revised the Personal Property Tax Laws. Prior to
that year, taxpayers took the ir individual tax lists to the conu11issioner for their district,
but now beginning on the first of March of each year the tax commissioner was
personally to call upon all households in his district to collect the lists and also to record
the date of his visit. Because of this new req uirement it is possible to identify neighbors
since presumably the commissioner would have visited all near neighbors on the same
day.
The 1787 tax list shows that the commissioner visited Peter and Jacob on May
24th and that Jacob was charged for two tithables (white males over the age of21), one
for himself and one for Godfrey Hamilton who was listed as a member of Jacob's
household. Again on 15 Jun 1788 Jacob was charged for two tithables. Although
Hamilton's name did not appear on the list he was probably the second tithable in the
household. For the next three years, Peter, Jacob and Hamilton all paid taxes on the san1e
day. These tax records show that Peter and Jacob lived in close proximity to Han1ilton
and that for two years, 1787-1788, Hamilton was Jiving with Jacob.
On 2 Feb 1791 Godfrey Hamilton bought a tract of 110 acres ofland from James
Ferguson •'on the Waters of Roan Oak. .. beginning at two Hicories at the foot of the
mountain" . Jacob Coger was a witness to that deed and presented it to the cowi the
fo llowing June. 13
On 15 Jun 1791, Jacob Coger mruTied Sarah Walker and Godfrey Hamilton
w itnessed the maITiage bond. Two years later Jacob paid his last personal prope1iy tax in
Botetourt County and the couple moved to Franklin County. There he bought a tract of
14
""'
97 Yi acres from George and Mru·y Harter on l 3 Nov 1793. The following month on
I 0 Dec 1793 , Peter Coger presented to the Botetourt County Court the title bond of 5 Jun
1786 that Hamilton had given to Jacob. 15 There may have been a question concerning the
bond because the foJlowing year on 11 Mar 1794 Jacob brought suit against Hamilton in
the Botetourt County Cowt. Whatever the cause, the problem must have been settled
amicably because "The Plaintiff not further prosecuting the suit lt is Ordered that it be
discontinued." 16

Godfrey Hamilton paid his last personal property tax on 2 /\pr 1795 and the
following Jw1e, shortly before his death, he wrote hi s will wh ich was presented to the
court on the 14th of July of that year. 17 " William Koger Eldest son of Peter Koger' ' and
"Catharina Koger the woman that had lived with me" were the only legatees. An
inventory and appraisement of the estate was made the fol lowing October 18 and the
settlement was recorded at the Botetourt Cow1ty Court of January 1800. 19 T he settleme nt
lists many expenses incurred in the disposition of the estate. Thus, in Janua ry Col.
Mclanahan was paid for publishing a notice in the Gazette for " Settli ng with the
Creditors ". Henry Snider and Jacob Kinsey were paid for making the co ffi n and Jo hn
Noftsinger was paid for whiskey served at the funera l. John Kell y was paid for 1iquor
served at a vendue that was held for the sale of the deceased's estate and Abraham
Haldeman was paid for liquor consumed at the last vendue.
On 2 1 July 1796 Catherina received her inheritance of 10 pounds, 7 shillin gs.
4 pence and a horse valued at 7 pounds, 3 shillings. {n August 1797 Pe te r received tw o
payments for a total of 2 pounds, 1 shilling and 19 pence. In add ition to these expenses
many other outstanding debts incu1Ted by Hamilton were al so paid. The settleme nt al so
included payments collected from the estate's de btors and amon g them was Jacob Coger
who owed 2 pounds, 4 shillings and 5 pence.
Peter paid hi s last personal property tax in Boteto urt County on May 1794 and
moved to Franklin near his brother Jacob. The fo llowing year both Peter and Jacob pa id
personal property taxes in Franklin County.
Peter became a landho lder for the first time on 3 Apr 1797 w he n he bought
160 acres of land in frank lin Co., VA "on the head Branches of Lick run of Black Water

River" from William Kelly, Sr.2°
The year of 1797 also saw the deaths of both Peter's brother Jacob and his
brother-in-law Thomas McElwain. Jacob died and left a brief will dated 21 May 1797.21
The estate was to be divided between his wife Sarah and hi s children. He did not say how
many children nor give their names or ages. Two daughte rs have been identified and each
sold her half of the land inherited from he r fath er to Joseph F lora. 22 Mary ma rried
William Highley on 8 Dec 1809 and moved to Kentucky. El izabeth moved to Bath Co.,
Kentucky where she married T . Barnes on 30 Aug 181 9.
In December of 1797 Thomas M cElwain died and on 1 Jan 1798 hi s widow
Fanny was made adm inistrator of hi s estate. 23 T homas and his fami ly arrived in Frankli n
County the same year as Peter. On 18 A ug 1794 Thomas witnessed the marriage of hi s
sister Catherine McElwai n to Jeremiah Brooks.

Tunis McEJwain, younger brother of Thomas, had been living in Botetourt
County but moved to Frankli n Cow1ty shortly before the death of hi s brother Thomas and
24
purchased 97 acres on the "waters of black water on the meadow branch" . He was
named as one of the appraisers of Thomas' estate. T he appraisa l o f the modest estate was

returned to court in September 1798 and an inventory of the debts and credits was
returned that same month. The only debtors were identified as Kelly and Coger who
togethe r owed I 1 pounds and 67 shillings-2 5 On 5 Nov 1798 the widow fanny McElwain
married J o hn Kell y.
Peter's close neighbors in Franklin County included the Kingarys, the Kellys and
the Vincents as well as the McElwains. On 29 Jul 1800 a court was called in Franklin
County for the examination of Sarah Vincent, a single woman accused of destroying her
bastard child. Witnesses called were Mary Coger, Mary Coger, Jr., Franky Kelly (fonner
Fanny McElwain), Susannah Kelly, Leah Kelly and Betsy McElwain. The elder Mary
testified " that last harvest was a year she heard Sarah Vincent say she was at that time
Two months gone with Child". The remaining witnesses said that Sarah had told them
she had lost a child. Although Sarah claimed she was "no wise guilty" the court was of
the opinion that she was ''Guilty of the fact wherewith she stands charged and that she
ought to rece ive a furthe r Tryal'' at the District Court. There were no further records in
26
the order books of either court and Sarah herself disappears from the records.
Peter and his family remained in Franklin County for another seventeen years.
During that time he made onJy occasional trips to the county court at Rocky Mount. He
served three times on juries and was involved in four civil suits including one lengthy suit
27
invol ving John Harman from 5 Jun 1809 to 5 Mar 181 2.
His two oldest children were married in 1804: William to Elizabeth Kingary,
.
ili
daughter of Peter and Mary Kingary, on September 18 and Mary, Jr. to Edward
Robertson the following October 13 1h. William was of age and needed no consent from
Peter to man-y Elizabeth. As Mary did require his consent, Peter sent a note to the county
clerk saying that he and his wife Polly were both willing for the clerk to let Robertson
have the license to marry and that he (Peter) would be much obliged if Robertson could
have it without his (Peter's) coming down (to the comthouse). Clu·istofer Kingary and
William Coger witnessed the consent.
Following the death of his father and the remarriage of his mother to Jolm Kelly,
Thomas McElwain, Jr. married Ruth Vincent, daughter of Charles and Susanna Vincent,
on 12 Oct 1799. He bought 119 acres of land from John Vincent on 31 Mar 1803 that he
later sold to John Wright on 24 Aug 1805. 28 He then moved to Kentucky. ln the
meantime, Tunis had sold his land to John Adney on 11 Nov 1803 and retw·ned to
Botetourt County. 29
By 1810 Peter's son William and his wife Elizabeth were the parents oftlu·ee
boys and as additional income was needed, Peter purchased a tract of 100 acres on the
"waters of Maggoty Creek on the north side of Clarks Knob'' from John Kinsey. The
deed was recorded on 2 Apr 1810.30
By 1816 three more of Peter's sons, Thomas, Jacob and Benjamin, had reached
the age of 21 and were required to pay a personal property tax. The number of tithable
males in Franklin County had also grown with the result that land had become scarce and

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Page 14

more expensive. Land was readily available farther west and the Coger fam il y decided to
leave Franklin County. On 24 Feb 181 6 Peter sold 100 acres of land on the Waters of
Black Water River to Benjamin Garnes of Montgomery Co .. VA and a year la ter on
13 Feb 1817 he sold the Maggoty Creek tract to Abraham Abshire. Peter and his fam il y
then moved to Nicholas Co., VA (now WV). 31
Before leaving Franklin County, William Coger was appoi nted administrator of
the estate of Peter Kingary, deceased .32 The estate must have been very sma ll and settled
privately because there was no court record of an appraisement or settlement. Two
brothers of William's wife Elizabeth have been ide ntified. Her brother Jacob Kingary and
his wife Leah, the daughter of William and Rachel Kell y, had left F rank lin Count y in
1805 and settled in Monroe Co., KY where Jacob d ied 4 Nov 1857 at eighty years or
33
age. Elizabeth's brother Joseph Kingary and his wife Caty (nee Kell y) joined Jacob and
Leah in Kentucky in 1810.
However, a year after Peter's departure, George Wri ght 34 brought sui t agai nst
him in the Franklin County Court on 3 Mar J818; Peter was fou nd no t gu ilty and the case
set aside. The followi ng June, Wright again brought suit against Peter; the sui t was
continued until 3 Mar 1819 when the j ury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for twentyseven dollars and fifty cents with interest from J Jul 1817.
ln N icholas County on 10 Oct 182 1 Peter purchased a 50 acre tract on the Elk
River 35
from Jeremiah Carpenter, who is believed to be have been the earliest settler on E lk
River. A survey for an adjoining 65 acres was made on 13 Sep 1822 and a gra nt
received on 7 Jul 1823. 36
Peter resided in Nicholas County until 1827/28 and then he moved to Kanawha
County, probably to be near daughter Sarah who had married Henr y Mace about 182 0 .
There on 23 Aug 1828 his youngest daughter Phoebe married Adam S ta rcher.
On I 0 Aug 1832 Peter and his son Peter, Jr. sold the 65 acre grant and 30 acres of
the 50 acres purchased from Jeremiah Carpenter to Samuel Skidmore. Peter, Jr., who had
married Mary Carpenter, daughter of Jeremiah, retained the re maining 20 acres. 37
In 1840 Peter was living with his daughter Phoebe and her husband Adam
Starcher. He paid his last personal property tax in Kanawha County in 1841 and died a
short time later. He is buried in the Gi bson Cemetery near Arnoldsburg, WV.
As previously stated, the purpose of the researc h that led to this article was to
learn more of the li ves and origins of Peter and J acob. An earlier article, publ ished in the
Fall 2004 Issue of Virginia Appalachian Notes, dealt with the claim tha t they were son s
of Hans Jacob Coger a German immigrant who arrived in Philadelphia, PA w ith his
brother Nicholas in 1732. 38 Research for that article found no reco rds to validate this
claim but records were fou nd that show Hans Jacob had three sons: Jo hn, Henry and
Nich~las. Although the names of Peter and Mary appear as witness,s on a deed dated 2 1
Oct t 882 in Henry Co., VA where by Hans Jacob gave land to his son He nry , this deed

tells us nothing of the identity of Peter and Mary, their relationship to each other or to
Hans Jacob. 39
Both Hans Jacob and Nicholas settled in Pennsylvania after their arrival from
Germany in 1732. T hree years later oo 15 Aug 1735 Nicholas was united in marriage
40
with Elizabeth Willheit~ daughter of John Frederick and Lucretia (Hafuer) Willheit.

located on the Shenandoah River at the Hawksbill Run in what was then Orange County,
became home to both fami lies. It was there that Nicholas Coger died in 1743, shortly
after the bi11h of Catherina.
The widow Elizabeth Coger relinquished her right of admi11istration of her
husband's estate to his brother Hans Jacob. 43 In 1745, Augusta County was formed from
the part of Orange County in which the Coger families resided.
Hans Jacob remained in Augusta County until 1753-54 when he moved to Halifax
Co., VA w here he had land surveyed on Stone's Creek in April 1754; patents to the land
were granted several years later. 44 Because of changing boundary lines, the land 011
Stone's Creek was located in Pittsylvania County after 1766-67 and finally in Henry
County aft.er 1777-78. No records were found to show that Peter or Jacob had ever lived
or owned property in these counties. Record do show that the two brothers were born and
raised in that part of Rockingham County that was formed from Augusta County in 1778.
T his suggests that Jacob was the son of Nicholas Coger, the brother of Hans Jacob. As
previously mentioned, Peter was related to Jacob but the natme of this relationship
remai ns unclear.
O n 24 May 1753 , Hans Jacob, now a resident of Augusta County, returned to the
Orange County Courthouse to settle the estate of his brother Nicholas. The widow
45
Elizabeth received he r sh are of the estate, 20 pounds and 5 shillings. Although she
disappears from the records, E lizabeth probably remained with or near her sister Barbara
(Willheit) Miller, the wife of Adam Miller. Some have suggested that she may have
m arried Godfrey Hamilton. It is unli kely that Peter was Hamilton's son since he referred
to himself as Peter Coger and not Peter Hamilton.
On the same day that the settlement of the estate was submitted to the Orange
County Court, Hans Jacob sold 465 acres of land on the Shenandoah River to Thomas

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Page 16

McCredie, a merchant from Fredericksburgh. V A. 46 The 465 acres was part of a 930 acre
tract patented to him by the Commonwealth of Virginia on 24 Apr 17 53~ the remaining
acres he kept for himself. 47 Also that day McCredie with George Frazi ~r and Jerem iah
Morton put up a bond for the orphans of the deceased Nicholas Cogcr."&gt;l
There were no records concerning the guardianship of N icholas' chi ldre n except
for Michael who was made a ward of his uncle Adam Miller in 1755 and was to receive
his share of the estate when he became of age. 4 9 He married in June 1762 and the
following August, Hans Jacob sold to him the land that he had kept for himsel r in
Augusta.County. He served as a Captain of the Militia during the Revo lu tionary War and
as a Justice of the Rockingham County Court from J 778- 1783 when he sold hi s holdin gs
in Rockingham County and moved to Kentucky.

John, like his mother Elizabeth, disappears from the records.
.
Elizabeth married her co!1sin Henry Miller, son of /\dam and Barbara ( Willhe it)
Miller and had several children_:io
. Both Jacob and Peter enlisted for service in the Revolutionary Wur in
Rockingham County and returned there after the ir service.
. Catherina probably went to Botetourt County in J 782 w ith Godfrey Hamilton as
HamJlton referred to her in his will as "Catharina Koger the woman that had lived with
me."
.
From the foregoing it appears that .Jacob Coger was the son or Nicholas a nd
Elizabeth Coger. There is a recorded date of his birth and baptism. There is testimony by
Tunis McElwain that he knew Pete r and Jacob from the days of his youth in Rockingham
County. Personal property records show that the two brothers moved to Botetourt Co unty
after the war and lived near or together on land owned by Godfrey Hamilton. Catherina
Coger, the youngest daughter of Nicholas and Elizabeth Coger, was a member of the
Hamilton household.
The origins of Peter are not so c lear. He c laimed he was the brother of Jacob
Coger, but there is no record of his birth o r parents. There are th1·ee possibilities.
The first possibility is that Peter was the son of N ic ho las and Elizabeth and
therefore the natural brother of Jacob. He is not included on the birth and baptismal
records of their five children, but he may have been born posthumously and hi s birth not
recorded.
The second possibility is that Peter was the half brothe r of Jacob, son of
Elizabeth. Mrs. Delores Cogar Bright, a descendant of Jacob Coger, the third son of Peter
and Mary, writes that the family B ible of J acob and Margaret (Mol.l ohan) Coger was
handed down in their fami ly for four generations. She continues, " lt starte d with J acob
and Margaret and their fami ly. O n the s ides of blank spaces, where they had named their

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Page 17

children, they had filled in the names of Peter and Polly Coger as parents of Jacob, and
out from Peter, they had written Eliza as his mother. No father was named. Also written
a&lt;&gt; the chi ldren of Peter and Polly were the names Wimam, Thomas, Jacob, Benjamin,
Peter, John, Catherine, Mary. Sarah and Phebe." As there was no birth date given for
Peter and assumin g that his mother was Elizabeth and his father someone other than
Nicholas, he wou ld have been Jacob ·s half brother.
Unfortunately, this Bible and other family heirlooms were lost when the family
farmhouse was set on fire by arsonists while the family were visiting relatives out of
state. However, many fami ly members remembered the Bible and shared the names and
dates recorded in its pages.51
The third possibility is that Peter was the brother of Jacob by adoption. It is
possible that he was orphaned at an early age and taken in by Elizabeth and raised as a
member of the family. Usually orphans were legally adopted or bound out and records of
these procedures were du)y recorded in the County Court Order Books. There were no
such records concerning Peter. However, not everything found it's way into county court
records. It was a long and hazardous trip by horseback on trnils through the backwoods to
the Augusta County Courthouse in Staunton. The family may have considered Peter's
adoption a private matter and did not deem it necessary to record it.
In conclusion, although records appear to show that Jacob was the son of Nicholas
and Elizabeth (Willheit) Coger, no court records were found that identified Peter's
parents. They do show that he had a close relationship with Jacob, Jacob's mother
Elizabeth, Jacob' s sister Catherina and with Godfrey Hamilton with whom Jacob had a
close re lationship.

In the foregoing Virginia Court Records the German surname of Koger was
usually spelled Coger or Cogar and on occasion Cogor, Coager or Couger. Han Jacob
signed the deed giving land to his son Henry as Jacob (his mark) Koger. After his death
his sons continued to use the German spelling. Jacob, son of Nicholas Koger, signed his
will as Jacob Koger. In Nicholas Co., VA court records the surname was spelled Cogar
or Coger by Peter and his descendants and on a few occasions Cowger or Cowgar.
In this account of the life and origins of Peter and Jacob, Hans Jacob refers to the
German immigrant who came with his brother Nicholas to America to distinguish him
from Jacob, the son of Nicholas Koger.
Godfrey Hamilton appears to have been a German immigrant. Although his name
usually appears as Hamilton, he signed his will as Godfrey (his mark) Hambledon and
that spelling appears occasionally in the court records.

with me and Wendell Ware for his enthusiastic support of this project. r mu st a lso thank

Deru· Sir:
Enclosed is a follow up article to the article on Hans Jacob Koger published in the
Fall 2004 issue of VAN.

In tbat article I identified three of his sons. Tb.is article completes that work.
I'm sony this article has been so long in forthcoming, but the research took far
longer than I had anticipated.
I'd also like to compliment Charles T. Burton and Babe Fowler for the Botetourt
Cow1ty, VA Death Records. They include so much more than dates of death! I look
forward to the completed records.

A Journal's Place in Family History
A journal's place in family history can be very influential. I was thinking abo ut my ancestor'.s who
lived when a census or birth, marriage and death documents were not always legall y required. I
thought about records that were destroyed, such as the 1890 census, and al l that valuable data .was
lost. I contemplated those families who were immigrants or migrant workers and never reall y lived
long in one place for records to be solidly documented.
Similar things can happen to us even today. Acts of natures such as fires, earthquakes, floods,
hurricanes can destroy court houses, homes, cemeteries and other places where genealogical records
are kept - destroying our family's documents. What can we do to help keep our family records
recorded for our descendants in the upcorrung years?
It is so important for us to keep these things in mind when we write in our journals. We may not

want to dedicate every writing toward recording historical events in our fami lies, but choose a time
and write things that could be beneficial to your descendants. I think at least once a month would
be a good time to set aside for this~ that wou ld give you twelve times a year dedicated to recording
your family infonnation.
As you write in your journal during this special time, record family m e mbers, their births, marriages
and deaths. Record all the places the fami ly has lived and lists the dates of any moves. Always
remember to list dates for any of these occurrences. Stories about your family are an important part
of this writing. This may be the only place that the event was recorded! Th.i s would be s imilar to
how our ancestors recorded information in the old family bibles.
Journals should be stored in a very safe place. While most of us tend to hide our journals because
they are private to us, consider storing it in a safe place in case of severe weather or fires. It is
important to preserve your memories and data for future generations. Another thought is who you
would like to inherit your journal upon your death. We do not like to think that we may not a lways
be here, but death is eventually going to happen to all of us. Some of us may live long li ves, whi le
others die young due to accidents or health issues. Keep a note in your journal who you would like
~our journal to go to should something happen to you. Write in this note how important and
influential the information you share in your journal is for your descendants and family . Express to
t~em how you would like it to be preserved and stored in a safe place and left in the family and not
1scarded or taken to the curb. If your family has no interest, or if you have no descendants to leave
it to, you might consider donating it to a historical society.

?

The Ne~ Ye~r is a great time to set goals. Consider setting a goal to start a journal that includes
yo~ family hist~ry. A great idea may be to share the family history portion of your journal with your
childr~n ~r relatives by making them copies updating them as you add to your jow-naJ. If you use
an onlmeJournal, ~ake sure you print the information and store safely. While floppy disks and CD's
can make a convement back-up system, the future generations may not use these currents methods
of data storage. An old fashioned journal with a good pen is sometimes the best way.

Dear Ancestor
Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone.
The na1ne and the date are chiseled out
On polished, nlarbled stone.
It reaches out to all who cares
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood ·contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And corne to visit you.

As our eyes bleed with tears.
Her death was surprising,
For we left her doing well,
But before the sun's uprising,
She had gone with God to dwell.
Why should our tears in sorrow flow,
When God recalls His own,
And bids us leave a world of woe,
For an immortal home?
We are writing her this letter,
At a quarter after seven,
Knowing that she's feeling better,
Spending Sunday up in heaven.
For the family, by Alfred.

Happy Holidays, Fellow Researchers!
Holidays and family gatherings are great times to hear about those elusive ancestors and
hear family legends. My great aunts and uncles were all school teachers or school
principals. My Great uncle Charles was principal at one of the first desegregated schools
in Roanoke in the 1960's. What stories they could tell!
Researching genealogy has gotten easier with the use of the World Wide Web but lacks
good stories. It's the stories that put a human face on our ancestors and make us proud or
amused by our sometimes too human relatives. It's the stories that connect us.
Members have a wonderful opportunity to contribute to a major undertaking in
genealogical research in the Roanoke area. There are years that the Roanoke Times is not
indexed. We are starting with 1897 to 1906. The project starts January 3, 2007. If you
would like to be part of this project please call Alicia Sell, (Archivist) in the Virginia
Room (853-2073).
·
It has been a great year. It has been a privilege to work with all who have contributed
their time and talent to make our Society a great organization. I hope we can keep
building on the foundation that has developed over the years and that next year will be
even better!

I hope the holidays find you well connected.

BEAUTIFUL HOME CEREMONY
The Bride Widely K11ownfor Her Vivacity, Beauty Aud
Charm of Manner
(Special to The Times-Dispatch)

FLOYD, VA. October 16-A marriage the news of which will be received with interest
throughout the State of Virginia and Tennessee, was solemnized Wednesday, October I I ,
at "The Aspens." Floyd county Va, at high noon, when Miss Lillian Beatrice Pendleton became the bride of Mr. David L. Vestal, of Knoxville, Tennessee.
The nuptials were consummated at the home of the bride's grandparents, Major and Mrs.
William H. Barman. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. K. Harris in the presence of a
party of relatives and friends.
The marriage took place in the parlor of the res idence. Columns and banks of golden rod and
potted plants adorned every available portion of the lower floor of the house, the color sche~c
being yellow and green. Promptly at 12 o'clock the opening chords of Mendelssohn's_wed.ding
march was struck and the bridal party proceeded to the altar. First came Mr. Vestal Wtth his best
man. Mr. E dmund M. Pendleton, brother of the bride, then came little Mary Spence r Pendle ton
A sister of the bride, dressed in white organdy, carrying the wedding ring on a silver waiter; next
came Mrs. F. Willis Michael, a brunette of rare beauty, sister of the bride as matron of honor,
costumed in white crepe de chine on taffeta carrying yellow chrysanthemums. The brjde entered
with her father, Dr. William Pendleton, who gave her in marriage. Her gown was exquisite v iolet
chiffon with hat and gloves to match and she carried violets. The color scheme was carried out in
the elegant luncheon which was served after the ceremony.
The bride is one of Virginia's prettiest daughters, a vivacious brunette, and is noted throug hout the
state for her charm and beauty, is a daughter of D1·. William Pendleton, of Floyd, VA, a

descendant of Judge Edmund Pendleton of the Supreme Court, a granddaughter of Maj or
William H. Hannan of Floyd Va., and a niece of Mr. F. P. Harman, of Lynchburg.

T~e groom is a prominent business man of Knoxville and is held in high esteem by all who know
him. After a Southern trip of two weeks, Mr. and Mrs. Vestal will make their home in Roanoke
for the winter.

~OTE.: This wedding announcement was found in the Bible along with many obituaries
mcludmg one for Dr. C. M. Stigleman. Dr. William H. Harman's wife was the former Mar-y
1'.tta Yearou! and their home was called "The Aspens," named for the row of Aspens on either
side of the dnveway leading to their home on what is now Bethlehem Church road in the Northeast
section of Floyd county.

Dr. C M. Stigleman is Dead

Dr. C. M. S~gleman " the belov~ physician," is dead, and although there had been for some
weeks pa_st, ltttle or no hope of his recovery, yet his death sent a shock through the town and
commumty, and many many hearts were sad at the announcement of his demise.
Dr. Stigleman breathed his last peacefully and quietly on Sunday the 291h of January, a t 4 :30 p.m .
and all that was mortal of him was laid to rest on Tuesday mo ming following, at the cemet ery by
the side of his beloved wife who preceded him to the grave 16 years ago. Dr. Stigleman was born
in Floyd county, near Rose Hill, on the J 3lh of March, 1833.

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Page 161

Dr. Stigleman received his academic education at the school conducted here by Wm T .
Gannaway, was always a bright student, excelling io mathematics and almost every other branch
of s tudy. He, by his own exertions, accumulated sufficient means to take and complete the course
of medicine at the Medical College of Virginia. When he graduated in the spring of 1857, and
during the same year, commenced bis career as a practitioner of medicine in this county, locating
at the courthouse. In the fall of that year he was united in marriage to Miss Ellen M. Shelor, a
daughter of Rev. Thomas G. Shelor, who at that time lived at this place.

At the beginning of the Confederate War, Dr. Stigleman was captain of a military company
known as the F loyd Rifles," which he took into the service in May, 1861 . This company was
incorporated in the 4th VA R egiment at Lynchburg, along with Col. Jubal A. Early commanding,
and in a short time went to the front at Manassas. Capt. Stigleman being the senior captain his
company was designated as C ompany A.t and took its place at the head of this gal lant regiment.
Capt. Stiglcmnn served faithfully during the first year of the war, when he returned home and
resumed the active practice of his profession, which continued up to the commencement of his
only serious and last sickness, though for several years past he had been trying to retire from active
practice and to some extent succeeded. Still there were many of his old friends and patrons w ho
would, to the last, persist in having him to attend them in times of sickness. And in many serious
cases, far and near, he was often called in consulration.

Dr. Stiglemnn was by far, for many years, the most widely known and the most extensive
practitioner in this county and section, his practice extending largely into the adjoinjng counties,
especially F.-anl&lt;lin and Patrick There are few families in the county, especially so with the
older and middle aged people, where Dr. Stigleman has not been called to visit, the sick and
afflicted, when by kindness and sympathy as well as by his skill, he endeared himself to all , and it
can b e said of him with truth, that he was the friend of the sick and suffering and of the poor,
paying hundreds and thousands of visits for which he never received a cent and never expected to.
Truly he was the " beloved physician."
Dr. Stigleman was the first Superintendent of Schools of Floyd County, which position he
efficiently filled until ousted under the Mahone regime in 1880. W ithout any disparagement of
the services of his successors in this office it may be said that Floyd county never had more able
and faithful superintendent of schools, and one who took more pride in his work. 01·. Stigleman
organized the schools of the county with more dispatch and with better school houses than was
done in any other county in this section of the State.
Dr. Stigleman was a true southern man. H e always maintained that the South was right in the
struggle of 1861-65, and nothing could ever induce to become false to his people or section. No
thirst for office or hope of gain could swerve him from his devotion to the Sunny South and her
cause.
Dr. Stigleman loved and honored the old Confederate soldiers and it has been by his efforts and at
his expense principally that the "old boys" have held several reunions in the past years.

The crowning act ofDr. Stigleman's life in his devotion to the Confederate soldier and d1e cause
for which so many fought and died stands today in the courthouse yard- the bronze monument " in
m emory of the Confederate dead"- which he only lived to see erected under his supervis ion and
principally through his inspiration and exertions and then as if he said, " it is finished," he laid him
down and died.
NOTE: D r. Stigleman died 29 January 1905.

WITT and FRANK(S) FAMILY LETTER
The following letter was submitted by Lois Blankenship who found the letter in a box of
items purchased at an estate sale.
Old Witt Fann
Rt. 221, Bedford, Va.
August 7, l 979
Dear Aunt Helen:
Here you're going to be 95 tomorrow and I am still not able to hand you a copy of the
Witt Family as I have gathered it since I was a girl in hig h school.
I started when Mrs. Mary Latham Norton of California organized the Hug uenot
Society of the founders ofManakintowne of Virginia about 1924. J opened a lette.r she had
written to your mother, Mrs. Booker T. Wi~ giving the line of descent of t~e Witts from
William Witt, who came to Manakin in 1695_ w e are descendants of one ofh1 s sons, Lewis
Witt They were French Huguenots, who fled France after the Edict ofNantos.
As I understand it he moved on to Nelson County where "Roselands" becam e the o ld
Witt home. I have not been able to visit there, but that's what the various yearbooks of the
Huguenot Society report. His son, Lewis did not fight in the Revolutionary War but he gave
aid to the troops and thus, if anyone in o~r family wants to join the Daughte rs or Sons of the
American Revolution they can do so on his line.
Here are the descendants as I have them listed w hen I j oined the state society. Jane,
my sister, still is active in the Suzanne Rochet C hapter,, which was organi zed in Lynchburg
and I often attend their meetings but I had to give up belonging to things when I worked on
the newspaper here and had to keep up with what other people belonged to.

Willi~m Witt father of Lewis Witt w ho lived in Amherst County. William was born in
1675 m France and died in 1754.

Lewis Witt, who died in 1774, was married to Ann Mills, who died O ct. 28, 1816.
Their son, Mills Witt who is listed as a " pioneer in Bedford County" married Betha ni
Creasey, April 27, 1797.
'
Their son, Abram Witt, married Alcinda James in 1831 . She died Oct. 11 , _ _
Their so~ Booker T. Witt (b. 4-8-1 834, d. 4-12-1896) married Eliza Jane Frank (b. 10-30-

1844, d. 12-27-1910)

Their so~ Abram Witt, married Lelia D. Anderson June 10, 1897. She died July 24, 192 0 ;
he died Mar. 17, I941. They are my parents.

Now about the Franks who are buried on the farm next to ours.
I have a record of John Frank, our grandfather, as early as 1809 when he went on a
marriage bond of his daughter, Sukey Frank. He bought the land Dr. J. A. Wente, Jr., now
owns adjoining our farm . I have a date of 1832 for that farm which included the 100 acres
we live on. You told me that he gave this part to his son, Washington Fran~ for a wedding
present.
John' s wife was Sarah Catherine
. She was born 1811, according to my father.
She died Jan. 17, 1898. John Frank (Franks) died April 1854. They are buried on that
farm, along with their son, Washington Frank and his wife, Catherine Powell. Their
daughter, Nancy Fran~ married Silas Ramsey. After John's death in 1854, his wife came
to live on the Washington Frank fann and the Ramsey's took over the other fann. Nancy
Frank Ramsey died in 1851 and is buried there with her parents. Her tombstone is one of
the two we can find that have not fallen into holes, etc. I learned from Mrs. Mary Ramsey
Venable, a granddaughter of cousin Calvin Ramsey, that Mr. Silas Ramsey moved to
Rockbridge County after Nancy's death and that family has had a prominent part in the life
of the county. He was county clerk, and I think, an ancestor [descendant?] is now running
for the State Senate.
The others buried there are four of your little brothers and sisters, as you gave them
to me. Uncle Lee's daughter, who is now dead, gave Booker a copy of the old fa1nily Bible
in which all are listed. She thought her father did the writing in the Bible. Anyway, here
they are so you will have a record:
George W. Witt- b. 3-22-1860; d. 6-25-1861
John W. Witt- b . 6-6-1863; d. 9-27-1871
Mattie N. Witt - b. 5-10-1875; d. 2-16-1879
Harold J. Witt - b. 6-10-1878; d. 6-10-1878
There are no stones for the Franks or Witts, except one almost buried, but someday,
the Lord willing, I shall have them properly identified. I have checked on the cost of a
marker listing all of them. Dr. Wente is good about keeping it mowed. He loves that old
fann and if the time comes that this fann gets out of our "Witt" hands I hope he can but this,
too. He beautifies everything he touches and has a sense of appreciation for the family that
lived there so Jong ago.
Your parents got their marriage "consent" on June 10, 1859, according to t11e records
in the Bedford County Courthouse, but I also have an 1858 date from somewhere.
Here's your mother' s obituary which I copied from the Bedford Bulletin-Democrat
This was in the issue of 1-5-1911 . She died Dec. 27, 1910:
A Good Woman Gone
Mrs. Eliza J. Witt, who has been quite ill for a long while, died on Wednesday night
of last week at 9 o, clock, aged 67 years. She was the widow of Booker T. Witt, at one time
a well-known contractor and builder, who preceded her to the grave twenty odd years ago.

.
Her children loved her devotedly and did everything in their power to prolong h~r life
and add to her comfort. She was before marriage a Miss Franks, born and reared in the
vicinity, where she lived all of her days, where everyone knew and loved he~ for her many
good good traits of character. The funeral and interment took place at 11 o clock and the

concourse of sorrowing friends . The pallbearers were Wm. Smith, Harold Stanley, James
Mcintyre, F. 0. Thomas, C.R. Bondurant, and C. J. Ramsey.

Bobby Witt

NOTE: Attached to the letter is a newclipping from the Bedford Bulletin-Democrat, dated
August 15, 1979, entitled "Mrs. Helen Nave has 95lh birthday Aug. 8". In part it states: Mrs.
Helen Witt Nave, who was born and reared on the old Witt farm on Little Otter, Route 22 l ,
celebrated her 95th birthday Wednesday Aug. 8. She was the dinner guest of her son Cecil
W. Waugaman of Roanoke. Also present were her daughter, Mrs. Virginia Thomas with
whom she now lives in Vinton, and her nieces, Mrs. R. E. Carneal and Miss Bobby Witt,
and Robert C. Peterson of Bedford. Mrs. Nave's other daughter, Mrs. Marietta
Waugaman Hockett, lives with her husband, Robert E. Hockett, at Orange. She was
married to George Emory Waugaman Sept. 17, 1907. After his death she married Th01nas
Nave in 1914 and had one son, Frank Nave who was lost aboard the submarine, " The
Grunion"in the Aleutian Islands Aug. 2, 1942~ Mrs. Nave's parents were the late Booker
T. and _Sarah Frank Witt. Mrs. Nave became a nurse in her youth and continued in that
profession the gre~ter part of her life, doing private duty at one time at Johns Hopkins and
Walter Reed ~osp1tals until her retirement in 1961, when she moved back to Virginia. She
served ~ assis~t postmistress in the Vinton Post Office during the 1920s and 1930s and
was active there m the Baptist church. She became weU-known in the Roanoke area because
of her perio_d of service as a nurse for the late Dr. Semones who pioneered the practice of
oste~pathy m Ro~ok~. Mrs. Nave wears a hearing aid, does not see well and has difficulty
walkmg but her mmd is as clear as when she grew up in the Center Point neighborhood. She
visits her old home once_ or twice a year and walks around the old orchard and other places
where she played as a child, a~d where she and her sisters planted daffodils which still b loom
all over the farm. Her health ts good and she looks forward to her 96t11 birthday.

Funeral homes recently have been using the excuse of HIPAA privacy regulations to
deny access to their records. As indicated by this federal advisory this is not true.
ADVISORY CONCERNING THE
HIPAA PRIVACY RULE
The HIPAA Privacy Rule, a federal regulation which is required by the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act, will take effect on April 14, 2003. Basically, the HIPAA
Privacy Rule will requi re all health care providers, such as hospitals, nursing homes and doctor
offices, to adopt and implement strict privacy procedures for patient's medical records.
Detailed information regarding the HIPAA Privacy Rule will be published in the next few
weeks. However, with the compliance date of April 14, 2003 right around the corner, it is critical
for funeral homes to understand several important aspects of how the HIPAA Privacy Rule does
and does not impact funeral service.
1.
Funeral homes are not covered by the HIPAA Privacy Rule. Covered Entities,
which are those businesses that are subject to the HIPAA Privacy Rule requirements, consist of
health plans, health care clearing houses, and health care providers. Although funera l homes
may receive or have access to health information of the decedents they care for, they are not
Covered Entities. Therefore, funeral homes are not subject to the HIPAA Privacy Rule and do
not have to comply with the obligations imposed upon Covered Entities regarding the
development of privacy practices and the protection of patient health care information.
2.
Funeral homes are not Business Associates. When a Covered Entity has
another business perform functions or activities on behalf the Covered Entity, and that business
is provided patient health information, the s.µsiness is required as a "Business Associate" of the
Covered Entity. While the HlPAA Privacy Rule does not directly regulate Business Associates,
it does require Covered Entities to regulate the activities of Business Associates. The Covered
Entity must enter into a contract with the Business Associate that mandates that the Business
Associate's use of protected health information will be consistent with the privacy policies of the
Covered Entity.
In nearly all cases , funeral homes would not be regarded as a Business Associate of a
Covered Entity. Therefore, if a hospital or nursing home requests that the funeral home enter
into a Business Associate contract, the funeral home should not do so. The only exception
wo uld be if the funeral home was providing services for the hospital. For example, if a funeral
home .ran the morgue at the hospital, it would be a Business Associate. However, in the
overwhelming majority of the cases, funeral homes are not Business Associates and should not
enter into Business Associate contracts with hospitals, nursing homes, doctor offices or other
Covered Entities.
3.
Funeral homes may receive confidential medical information. Under the HIPAA
Privacy Rule, Covered Entities are permitted to make disclosure of confidential patient health
information to funeral homes as necessary for the funeral home to carry out its duties with
respect to the care of a deceased body. Therefore, hospitals could disclose to funeral homes
the presence of a contagious disease or the fact that organ and tissue donations were taken
from the deceased body.
Hospitals and nursing homes may be contacting funeral homes to discuss these
disclosure policies. Certainly, it would be appropriate for funeral homes to participate in the
development of these disclosure policies to insure that the funeral home receives the necessary
information to perform its duties for the decedent while protecting the health and safety of its
staff.

GILES COUNTY, VlRGIN1A
The history of Giles County goes back to the "original county' of Northumberland from which
ninety-six counties were derived. Named in honor of William Branch Gi les, Govenor of Virginia 18271830, it was formed from Montgomery, Monroe and Tazewell in 1806. Numerous changes in the
development of counties between the formation of Northumberland in 1648 and the 1806 formation of
Giles.
Migrations of the early settlers finds their records in various counties as area became more
populated. Researchers of the people of southwestern Virginia wi ll find themse lves, of necessity,
consulting files in present day counties of Augusta, Botetourt, Bedford and Franklin in Vi rginia and
Greenbriar and Munroe in West Virginia.
Botetourt County was formed in 1770 from Augusta County. Its southern boundary followed the
then· colony (now state) lines ofNorth Carolina and what later became Tennessee, from the Blue Ridge
Mountains to the Mississippi River. The northern boundary extended from the Blue Ridge Mountains at
approximately the present·town of Buchanan and the James River and apparently following the course of
the James and Jackson Rivers· then on a direct course in a northwesterly direction across present day
West Virgina, Ohio, Indiana, imnois and Wis-consin to the Mississippi River. The public records of
Botetourt County from its beginning are in good condHion in the County Clerk's office, in spite of lhe
fire that destroyed most of the courthouse building a few years ago.
From Botetourt County came
the short lived Fincastle County, fanned in 1772 and dissolved in 1776. The county seat was in present
day W~e County at a community known as The Lead Mines a short distance south of Fort Chiswell on
U. S. Highway Route 52. The records of old Fincastle County are stored in the Montgomery County
Courthouse in Christiansburg. They are said to be almost illegible and very poor condition.
Bedford County was formed in 1753 from Lunenburg County. Some Giles County early settlers
are known to have resided in Bedford County with most of them settled in the section that became
Franklin County inl 785.
Greenbriar County, West Virginia, was formed in· 1778 from Augusta County, Virginia, and its
records are intact in the county Clerk's Office in Lewisburg. As that area of Giles County on the
northwesterly side of New River, downstream from The Narrows of FaUs where the river cuts through
the Peters and East River mountains, was in Greenbriar County until Monroe County was formed in
l ?99 .. The records of the early settlers in that area of present G iles County are its Greenbriar and Monroe
counties, West Virginia.
.
The first settlers in Giles County were the Porter family. The onJy known record of this fami ly
bemg a grave marker found at present day G len Lyn for a Mary Porter which read "killed by Indians,
N~v. 28.' 1742". This grave marker was found by the John Tomey family that settled at this site in 1780.
It is believed that the next whjte settlement was at Gunpowder Springs, now Eggleston, by Adam
H~on .early in 1749, and that he was foJlowed by Pbjlip Lybrook who settled at nearby Gunpowder
Spnngs m 1750.

COUSINS- FRIENDS
Four years ago a computer genealogy class was begun at Floyd County High School with e ight or
ten members and a dedicated teacher, Kathy Calvert, who is also an avid researcher. The goal was
not only to improve our computer skills, but to improve our research technique as well . Most were
not Virginia born but had very interesting family histories. As we studied together, compared notes,
offered suggestions to each other and became well acquainted we begin to appreciate other
members' family lines and their heritage.
We soon realized many members' roots began in Virginia and branched out from there to many
states. Indiana was one of the states that was a favorite destination. One of our membe rs, Jo Parr,
made several trips to her home state of Indiana and discussed her research problems with us. We
offered advice and sources as the research progressed .

O~ research went slowly as it does sometimes, but we persevered and were rewarded and we shared

with ~e class. Two years passed and we were becoming proficient at finding information on line

learrunghowto use scanners, printers and respond to queries on line and making corrections where
necessary.

~~s year, Jo made another trip to Indiana and came back with pictures of old cemeteries she bad
visited. As we shared information together, she mentioned that she had been able to connect her
roots to R~. John Stanger of Wythe County, VA. My ears perked up and I went over to her chair
and as our discussion progressed we discovered that her great great grandmother Aon Thomas who
had married Rev. Stanger's s~n, John, Jr. was known to me. Ann's sister, Margaret Bickle
Thomas had married Waymon Creger and was m y great great grandmother. Thus Jo and I are
fourth cousins descending from Kemp and Nancy Baber Thomas, who were an early family in
Wythe County. Each week I had been carrying the information she had needed but her research had
not gotten her to the point where she could use it. Conversely, she had been carrying information
I ~eeded but was unaware of the connection and my need . We were very excited to discover our
~hip and are still sharing information and getting acquainted as cousins, having already been
friends through the class.
Genealogical connections come when they are least expected and often with surprising results. We
need to keep our eyes and ears open all the time. Often when we help others, that is when we get
help ourselves. I believe most of the genealogy we do is a step towards something that heretofore
has been eluding us. Ann Thomas Stanger's line would never have been completed if I had not met
Jo Parr and the same for her I am sure regarding Margaret Thomas Creger's line. There were
times I had decided Ann and John just never had children an~ put it ~side for a while. Yet, I would
always go back and wonder, it was not ofte n a couple was childless m the period of time in which
we working, so why was it I could not find information. The answer was in that classroom for three
years I
We should never give up and one reading this may think lateral lines not important, but we often
find the lateral lines have information that we can use in our direct lines in a later generation.
Lateral lines depict neighborhoods and religious preferences as well.

Furrow Family Finds Links to New River Valley
(The following infonnatioo was submitted for Amanda Furrow by
Lcscoe "Gene" and Wanda Furrow of Maynardville, Tenn.)

Although we were born 270 years apart, my sixth great-grandfather, Jacob Furrer,
and I were born in two of the most beautiful mountainous regions in the world. Born in
Switzerland and of Germanic origin, Grandpa Jacob migrated to London, England, after
1743. A few years later, he traveled the Atlantic Ocean on a vessel named Brigantine
Sally and landed at Philadelphia on the 17'11 of October 1750. Grandpa purchased cattle
and land in a little place called Hempfield Township, Pa He had several sons, but the one
born in 1749 named John (Johannes) was my fifth great-grandpa Now, 243 years
separate us!
Grandpa John and his brother, Adam, moved to Loudon County by 1771 while
some of my fifth great-uncles stayed and eventually served in the militia during the
Revolutionary War. However, they came to Virginia later. In addition to farming,
Grandpa Jacob was also a preacher. In September 1810, he took an oath of fidelity of the
Commonwealth of Virginia at which time he stated that he was licensed to preach the
Gospel according to the rules of the Methodist Society. In 1797, he moved to
Montgomery County where he and his sons owned adjoining lands about nine miles
southwest of Christiansburg at the Montgomery-Floyd County line area This was only a
few years after our county seat, Christiansburg, was incorporated. One of Grandpa John's
sons, Charles, was born in 1773, and he was my fourth great-grandfather.
Like Grandpa Jacob, Grandpa Charles and his brothers purchased land and fanned
the fertile soils of the valleys within Cedar and Bear Branch of Elliot's Creek to Camp
Creek on the Little River. Montgomery County tax records and the U.S. Census now
listed our surname as "Furrow." Daddy said many people had their last names misspelled
during this era. Grandpa Charles wed Deborah Graham in April 1796. She gave birth to
my third great-grandpa, Abraham (Abram), in 1805.
Grandpa Abram grew up in Montgomery County and farmed just as my previous
grandpas. The 1870 Census shows that he and his wife, Mary Jewell, lived in the
Allegheny Township. My great-great-grandpa, Andrew Jackson, was their last child and
was born in 1848. The link between my sixth great-grandpa, Jacob, and myself, is now
more than half completed at 126 years! The arrival of the railroad was just around the
corner.
Grandpa Andrew was also raised in Montgomery County. He married Frances
Ann Maddox in 1874. She gave birth to a son in 1885 named Johnson, who was my
great-grandfather. They purchased land on the Old Mudpike, southwest of
Christiansburg, in 1903 and built a home.
Grandpa Johnson married Lucy Remines of Tazewell County in 1924, and they
also lived on the Old Mudpike. Grandpa Johnson farmed, worked with the railroad and
was also a preacher.
He and Grandma Lucy had three sons and a daughter. One of their sons was
Lilburn Lesco, who is my "Pap~" and he was born in 1931. Papa also grew up in
Montgomery County. He left home in 1949 but returned shortly after retiring from the
U.S. Air Force in J969. He married Gloria A. Schaumloffel in 1950 when he was in
Texas. They had three sons and three daughters. Their first son was Lescoe "Gene," and

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Page 114

he was born in Texas in 1955. He is also my "Daddy"! Finally, there is only 37 years Lo
complete my link with Grandpa Jacob.
Can you guess my age? Now that you know when I was born, you can see why I
had my Daddy write this genealogical letter for me? You can also fi gure the year Papa
Jacob was born.
Although our family lives in Tennessee, we come to Montgomery County oft.en to
visit my Papa's nana, aunts, uncles and cousins. Oh, 1 almost forgot! My mom, whose
maiden name is Wanda Marie Earles, was also born and raised there, but she won't let me
tell y~u when. All I know is she has a brother two years younger than her, and he was
born m 1~50. It's been nice sharing some of our family history with you and we wish
everyone m Montgomery County the best!
Love, Amanda

Catherine ''Kate" Dobyns of Carroll County, Virginia
The 1877 account for Mrs. Kate Dobyns with a store by the name of Dobyns
and Burroughs was found by Lois Blankenship in some flea market purchases. The
account 1isting gives a fascinating picture of what items were in common use in the
average household following the Civil War. The prices of these items are laughable
by today's standards.
As indicated on the last page of the account listing, this copy was furnished by
P. L . Franklin, who also was the census taker three years later when Mrs. Dobyns was
enumerated on the Carroll County census in the Piper's Gap District [ED 20, page 34,June 18, 1880]. The ~ensus record reads as follows:
Household 340
Kate Dobyns, W, F, 45, widow, keeping house
Annie G. Dobyns, W, F, 17, daughter
James N. Dobyns, W, M, 16, son [twin]
Florence 0 . Dobyns, W, F, 16, daughter (twin]
Thomas M. Dobyns, W, M, 15, son
Charlie D. Dobyns, W, M, 13, son
Henrietta F. Dobyns, W, F, 21, step-daughter [married Wm. P. Kyle, 4-11-1881]
James J. Dobyns, W, M, 26, boarder, merchant
All born in Virginia
Kate Dobyns was the third wife of Thomas Mitchell Dobyns. She was born
Catherine Gannaway on February 18, 1832 and died April 12, 1915 in Carroll Co.
Thomas Mitchell Dobyns was the son Abner and Elizabeth Wilkes Dobyns of Bedford
Co., born January 8, 1826. He married first to Lucinda Conner, following her death
he married in 1855 to Permelia A. Lemon in Franklin Co. Permelia also died and on
November 15, 1861 in Wythe Co. Thomas married Catherine Gannaway.
Thomas Dobyns spent his boyhood in Bedford Co., then he moved to Floyd Co.
where he worked as a tailor. Later he moved to Carroll Co. where he was a merchant
'
farmer and stockman. He also had mining interests in Iron Ridge. During the Civil
War he was in the Home Guard. He was also chairman of the magistrate' s court for
some time. I-lis other children included Samuel Green Dobyns, from his first marriage,
and Michael and Lilly who died in infancy. Thomas Dobyns died December 8, 1872
in Carroll Co. and is buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery.
In all probability Thomas Dobyns was one of the original owners of the store
Dobyns and Burroughs, where the following purchases were made.

Descendants by Kenneth W. Dobyns and Margaret S. Thorpe, 1969, Virginia Room.]

Dear Genealogists,
Ms Denise Smith's presentation of Bland County History is Anything but
Bland was entertaining as well as informative. For anyone who missed it,
Ms Smith gave excellent hand outs. The Virginia Room has copies.
Speaking of the Virginia Room, the open house February 9 was a great
success- over 150 people signed the guest book for the three hour event!
Showcased were some Giles County poll books from 1820.
The Virginia Room is looking for volunteers to create an "every name"
index for copies of the Roanoke Beacon. The dates range fro1n February
1852 to August 1853. It seems the Virginia Room has 1nore copies than
anyone else in the state and the Library of Virginia has offered to 1nicrofihn
them. Volunteers will be able to work with the original materials before
they are sent to the Library of Virginia on July 15, 2006. If you would like
to contribute some time to this project, please get in touch with Laura
Wickstead or me, as soon as possible 540-853-2073. As projects co1ne up I
will pass them on to you.
We're planning a bus trip to the Library of Richmond in August. Round trip
seats will go for about $30 and we may be able to make a pick up in
Christiansburg as well as Roanoke. I'll make an announcement at the May
meeting with final details.
Another exciting note - Mike Blankenship has volunteered to edit the VAN.
We look forward to his tenure. He has also mentioned writing a column on
African American genealogy.
As always I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at the
meetings. If you have suggestions/ ideas please feel free to contact me.

Best Regards,

BRIEF I II ST O RY Of E/\RLY QUAKERS IN EASTERN VIRGIN1A
By Anthony Lowe
Altho ugh George Fox. the fo under o f Quakerism traveled in eastern Virginia in 1672, the
history of the religious movement in eastern Virginia actually began several years before his
visit. A number of Quaker missionaries had already passed through the area, beginning with
E lizabe th Harris in 1656. Letters from Quakers in England indicate that Elizabeth Harris of
London visited in Is le of Wight. Nansemond. and Norfolk counties in 1656 spreading the Quaker
message o f each indi vi dua r s immediate access to God without a minister or any kind of
cere mony or ritual. This new unde rstanding of Christianity was well received in Virginia. When
Eli zabe th Harris re turned to England in 1657, she reported a number of converts in Virginia.
Among these was six teen year-old Margaret Brashere, the future wife of Thomas Jordan of
C huckatuck. Elizabeth Han·is also reported that the Governor of Virginia was very open to her
message as well.
T his governo r was Richard Bennett ( I 609- 1675) who had been elected to that office by the
House of Burgesses on /\pril 30, 1652. Normally governors in Virginia were not elected, but
appointed by the king. In 1649, after years of struggle between the Roundheads and Cavaliers,
King Charles was de throned and Oliver CromweJl and the Puritans came to power in England.
for the brief period of time that Cromwell's government lasted, Virginians were allowed to
select their own governor. Born in Somerset, England, Bennett had come to Virginia a Puritan
supporter of C rom wel I. He married Mary Ann Utie in Isle of Wight County in 1641. Bennett
served three te rms as governor of Virginia, and unlike the New England Puritans, was very
k indly dis posed toward the Quakers and allowed them freedo m to worship in their own way
which helped the group to get established in Virginia. Bennett's son Richard Jr. became a
Quaker and late r moved to Maryla nd when Quakers began to be severely persecuted in Virginia
under the royal gove rnors.
Early Quake rs were persecuted not only because their beliefs and practices were contrary to
the establis hed re lig ion of E ngland, but also because those beliefs called for radical changes in
social behavior and ins titutions as well. In addition to the idea that God spoke to and through
everyone and not just clergy, Quake rs also held a distinct group of social testimonies that later
generations nicknamed "spice" based on the acrostic their first letters created:
1. Simplicity. This was primarily expressed in worship where Quakers gathered in silence
without preaching or music and " waited on the Lord" for a message. Because they understood
true religion to be an inward experience, they rejected all outward rituals and ceremonies such as
baptism and physical communion.
2. Peace. George Fox wrote in his journal that he lived in the spi1it that took away "the
occasion for all wars." Complete pacifists, Quakers were forbidden to serve in the military or
take up anns against anyone.
3. Integrity. Quakers literally accepted the admonition from the book of James not to swear by
anything, but to Jet their "yes mean yes and their no mean no."
4. Community. Quakers believed that salvation was worked out by living together in a holy
community of whi ch Christ was the head. Since God's will was not divided all decisions were
'
made by consensus rathe r than voting. Eventually the faith and practice of Friends became a

Virginia Appolachlan Notes

�uniform discipline and those who deviated from it were disowned by the commu n ity . S uc h
infractions included marrying a non-Quaker, entering the military, deviating from simpk liv ing
(not wearing Quaker dress or using "plain language") o r attend ing worldl y pl aces or am usem e nt
such as dances.
S. Equality. Quakers were among the first to believe that all people were equa l. They refu sed
to doff their bats or bow to the nobility or address anyone by any kind o f title. ln O ld E ng li sh the
second person singular (thee and thou) was used to speak to child ren. servants, and fan1il y
members, but when speaking to a superior the more fo rmal plural form (yo u ) was requi red.
Quakers referred to everyone from the lowliest servant to the king as thee and tho u .

In 1657, two more missionaries, Josiah Cole and T homas Thurston vis ited Vi rg inia. B y the n,
Quakers were becoming more well known and their peculi ar testimo nies were cons idere d a
threat, not just to the Established Church of England, but to society as a w ho le. As a result. the
two missionaries were immedjately thrown into the j ail at Jamestown. A ll w ritin g m ateria ls
were taken away from them and they were not allowed to have any contact with people li v ing in
the colony. The master of the ship who brought them to Virginia w as fined for hav ing d o ne so.
Cole and Thurston were released only on the condition that they leave V irg inia and proceed to
Maryland at once.
William Robinson, one of the ffi.Jss10naries who came to A meri ca o n the g ood s hip
Woodhouse, also visited Virginia in 1657 with Christopher Ho lder and Robert H o d gso n . They
spent most of their time on the Eastern shore of Virginia adjacent to M a ryland so they did no t
encounter as much opposition. Robinson went on to New Eng land w he re he was la te r hanged o n
Boston common for his Quaker beliefs. Josiah Cole returned in 1660 and wrote to G eorge F ox
that he left Friends in Virginia "generally very well and fres h in the truth." G eorge Wilson , w ho
arrived in Virginia in 1661 did not fair as well. He was beaten and put in irons in the d ank
Jamestown jail where his flesh actually rotted and he died, a m artyr to his fa ith the re
imprisoned!. George Rolfe was also an early Quaker missionary who passed throu g h Virg inia .
Due to the Virginia colony's increasing persecution of Quakers, mee tings were often held in
secret, so there are no records of some early meetings. Early Quake rs usually m e t in homes in
the community. Existing records show that there were m eetings in the homes of seve ral
individuals along the Nansemond and Elizabeth Rivers. Two of the earlier m eeting places w ere
in the homes of Thomas Jordan and Robert Lawrence . As w as mentioned, Margaret Brashere
Jordan became a Quaker in 1658. Her husband became convinced after their marriage. Thomas
Jordan, by his own account, became a Quaker in 1660 after the birth of their first child.
In
papers contained in the Chuckatuck records, Thomas Jordan tells of being imprisoned for s ix
weeks after being arrested at a meeting in his own house. Afterwards, he was take n into custo dy
again for attending a meeting at Robert Lawrence's house in 1661. When he followed Quake r
beliefs regarding oaths and refused to swear on the Bible in the Nansemo nd C ourt, he was j a iled
at Jamestown for ten months. In addition to being imprisoned, Jordan also suffered seizure of
property by the sheriff worth 5,607 pounds of tobacco . This testimo ny in Tho m as Jordan's o wn
writing is dated first day of seventh month, 1661 which indicates that Quakerism in e aste rn
Virginia was strong enough to pose a threat to the order of the royal colon y severa l years b efore
George Fox's visit.

\ltrglnla Appalac hia n Notes

�53
Quakerism had also taken root along the Elizabeth River in Norfolk County. Records of
m eetings being broken up and individuals fi ned go back to 1660 in that area as well. In 1663,
Jo hn llilL sheriff or Norfo lk County raided a meeting on the Western Branch of the Elizabeth
Ri ver at th e home of Ri chard Russell and summoned all parties found there to court. Shortly
thereafter, the shcri ff reported that John Porter, a member of the House of Burgesses representing
Norfolk County was " loving to the Quakers and attended their meetings." Porter admitted that
he was loving toward the Quakers but denied having ever attended one of their meetings. In
keeping with Quaker beliefS, however. he refused to take the oath of allegiance and was expelled
from the House o f Burgesses on September 12, 1663.
Jn November, the sheriff once again found a Quaker meeting being held in the home of
Richard Russell . Twenty-two persons were summoned to court and fined. Among those present
were John Porter Jr., Mrs Porter. Thomas Hollowell and his wife Alice, Richard Russell,
Mirhartt Maso n, Mrs. Forby, Richard Yates, Mrs. Mary Emperor, Ann Bodby, Robert Spring,
Mrs. Joseph J ohnson, and John Porter Sr. When they appeared in court, all were fined 200
po unds of tobacco except fo r John Porter Jr. and Mrs. Mary Emperor who were fined 500 pounds
because it was the ir second offense. having also been present at the earlier meeting at R ussell's
home. Richard Russell was fined 5,000 pounds of tobacco for allowing his home to be used for a
Quaker meeting.
On the 22nd of November, 1663 Sheriff Hill fow1d a Quaker meeting being held on the ship
Blissing at an chor in the Elizabeth River. John Porter Jr. who was speaking at the meeting was
s ummoned along wi th James G ilbert the master of the ship, Mrs. Mary Emperor and James
Sammonds and his wife. The same day they appeared in court, December 15, another meeting
was broken up at Mary Emperor' s house where John Porter Jr. was once again the speaker.
Because it was the ir third offense, Mary Emperor and John Porter Jr. were ordered to be expelled
from the colony. The sentence was never carried out, but most of the Quakers in Norfolk
County seem to have moved a little further inland and joined with Friends along the backwaters
of the Nansemond River. T here are onl y two references to Quakers in the Norfolk county court
records after 1663
Although severely persecuted, Quakers in Virginia held on. The movement was almost
d estroyed in 1663, but the damage came from within. A Quaker minister named John Perrott
visited Virginia in 1663 with a message contrary to what Friends had heard previously from
George Fox and others. As a part of their testimony on equality, Friends had refused to remove
their hats as a sign of honor to dignitaries and the nobility. The one exception was for prayer.
Quaker men always removed their hats as a sign of reverence when praying. John Perrott came
to Virginia teachjng that Friends should not remove their hats while praying. Of more lasting
consequence was his teaching that having a set time and place for Quaker meetings was wrong
since all gatherings should be based on the leading of the Spirit.
Edward Perkins in a 1678 letter describing the situation said that Perrott "preached up a
liberty which tended to the shunning of the Cross." Several influential Friends in Virginia were
led astray by Perrott's preaching, among them Thomas Jordan, William Yarrett, Edmund Belson,
and Edward Perkins himself. E nough damage was done that when Quaker minister John
Burnyeat v isited Virginia in 1665, he said Friends there had "quite forsaken their meetings.''

Virginia Appalachian Notes

�54
Burnyeat remained in the colony for some time trying to undo the damage d o ne b y Perrott. I le
came back a second time in 1671 and encouraged Friends to have regular m eetin gs and work o ut
their differences.
W illiam Edmundson arrived in Virginia early in 1672. He vis ited a ll the Vi rg inia meeti ngs.

stirring them up and adding new converts and even establishing new groups through his
preaching of the Quaker message. Edmundson in his journal mentio ns stay ing a t the ho use of
Justice Thomas Taberer of Isle of Wight County. He described Taberer's w i fc as very "'loving··
toward Quakers. He also met with former governor Richard Bennett w ho m this time became a
solid convert to Quakerism. Edmundson was not as successful with the new governor appo in ted
by the king to serve Virginia, Sir William Berk.Jey Edmundson met with the Gove rno r to seek
some relief for the sufferings of Friends but did not find Berkley inclined to g ive the m a n y
sympathy.
George Fox came to Virginia from Maryland on the fifth of November, 1672. H e records
reaching Nansemond three days later where a "great meeting was he ld." He atte nded a "'very
precious" meeting about four miles from the Nansemond water that had a m e n a nd wo m e n 's
meeting established. After a successful visit to Pagan Creek, he passed o n to North Carolina.
Upon his return to Virginia, he met with Fri ends at John Porter's hom e as it was a long his way.
It was reported that the number of Quakers in Virginia almost doubl ed as a res ult o f the m eetings
Fox held although the official purpose of his visit had been to organi ze Frie nds and he lp
overcome the damage done by John Perrott.
By the time of George Fox's visit to eastern Virginia, there were Friends s pread a long the
Nansemond River's branches from the Dismal Swamp past Chuckatuck and a lo n g the W este rn
Branch of the river to near the present site of Isle of Wight Courtho use. Fri ends had a lso s pread
to Pagan Creek near Smithfield and along the Blackwater in Surry. In order to m a intain som e
kind of unity and co-operative effort, Fox suggested in a letter that Quakers a round C huckatuck
keev a men's meeting once a quarter. The letter was written from Elizabeth River naming
Thomas Hollowell's house as a general meeting place and was specificall y addressed to certain
F~~ds in the Nansemond, specifically: William Denson of Isle of W ig ht (P agan C reek),
Wilham Yarrett of Isle of Wight (Pagan Creek), John Porter ofNansemond (Somerton), George
Kemp of Elizabeth River, Thomas Jordan of Nansemond (Chuckatuck), Edward Pe rlcins of Is le
of Wight (Pagan Creek), William Pope of Namsemond (Chuckatuck), Robert Lawrence of
Nansemond (Chuckatuck), and John Fowler of Surry
Fox also encouraged Friends to attend a general meeting asking that each local congregation
send representatives. This meeting, in 1672, is generally accepted as the beginning of the
Virginia Y~arly Meeting of Friends. In accordance with Fox's instructions, a quarterly meeting
was established at Chuckatuck where the records begin with the following entry: " This book
begins with the Yeare 1673 by the motion or order of George ffox the servant of God." The
Chuckatuck Quarterly Meeting was made up of four particular meetings, Surry, Pagan Creek,
Nansemond, and Chuckatuck. A general Meeting House was built at C huckatuck prior to 1674.
Henry Wiggs and Katheren Yarrett were married that year in the m eeting house. B ecause of the
difficulties involved in travel, Quakers still often met in homes. Early records indicate there
were regular meetings being held in the homes of several people:

Virginia Appalachian Note1

�55
Thomas Jordan's house at Chuckatuck in 1678
Eli zabe th Outland 's house in Nansemond 1679
Thomas and Alice Hollowell' s house Elizabeth River 1680
John Copeland' s house Chuckatuck - 1682
William Sander·s house Nansemond 1683
Robert Jordan 's house Nansemond 1693
Leavin Buskin's house Southern Branch 1683
Elizabeth Belson' s house in Nansemond- 1682
During this period Chuckatuck remained the most prominent Quaker meeting in Virginia, and
it was there that Friends first got into trouble with the government because of their Peace
Testimony. When Sir Willimn Berkley the opponent of Nathaniel Bacon was governor, be
sought to raise a militia and notified the Chuckatuck Meeting that all males 16 and over would
be required to serve. The Meeting sent a letter to the governor explaining that their religious
convictions would not allow them to participate in the militia. Trying to be very understanding,
Berkley responded that the Quakers need not come themselves, they could send servants or
hirelings to serve in their stead. After contemplating this, the Meeting responded that not only
could they not serve themsel ves, but their beliefs prohibited them from supporting the militia in
any way and to force or encourage others to serve in their place would be equally as wrong as
serving themselves. The irate governor then sent troops to the Meeting and arrested all the males
over J6 and kept them imprisoned for several weeks in the Jamestown jail as punishment for
their stubborn disobedience.
After William and Mary came to the throne of England in 1693, the Acts of Toleration were
passed, giving more religious freedoms to those who did not belong to the Church of England.
When Robert Jordan, son of Thomas and Mary ofChuckatuck, was called upon to swear an oath
in cornt, he confidently refused having heard from Friends in England that the Toleration Acts
had been passed. The governor, however, had not yet received notification of their passing, so
Robert Jordan was jailed in Williamsburg and held for months until official notification of the
passing of the Toleration Acts was received in Virginia.
The second meeting house constructed in Virginia was built on Leavin Buskin's plantation
in the Southern Branch of the Nansemond River. It was a 20 x 20 building that cost 3,868 pounds
of tobacco to build. Donations to cover the cost were received from: Robert Jordan, John
Murdaugh, Benjamin Small, John Porter, Nathan Newby, John Hollowell, Reid Hopkins,
Matthew Small, Elizabeth Mace, and Moses Hall Since all of these individuals are associated
with Somerton Meeting, it appears that this meeting house built in 1702 and referred to as the
Nansemond Meeting or Southern Branch, was actually the first place of worship built for
Somerton Meeting.
There was also a meeting house built in Isle of Wight at about the same time. It was a little
larger being 25 x 20 "fitted with forms and Benches suitable for such a house" at a cost of 3,200
pounds of tobacco. Contributors to the building of this meeting house included: Isaac Ricks.
William Scott Sr., James Denson, John Denson, Abraham Ricks, John Ricks, Robert Ricks,
John Sykes, Thomas Hampton, Francis Denson, and Francis BrydelL Yearly Meeting sessions

were held in the Isle of Wight meeting house in 1696. The marriage of Joseph Kennerly and
Sarah Ratcliff took place at Yearly Meeting that year, and Isaac Ricks wus referred to as clerk or
the Yearly Meeting in 1699. The first existing minutes of the Virginia Yearly Mcc.;ting date back
to 1702 when annual sessions were held in the newly bui lt Pagan C reek Meeting hnusc during
seventh month. Daniel Sanbum served as clerk of the Yearly Meeting and Nathan Newby was
recording clerk.
The Virginia Yearly Meeting was divided into two quarters at the time, the Upper Quarter
which was composed of those meetings north of the James River, and the Lower Quarter made
up of those on the south side. Representatives to Yearly Meeting from the Upper Quarter
included: Joseph Pleasants, John Pleasants, John Woodson, John Bates, Samuel Newton.
Charles Fleming, Gerrard Robert Ellyson, Robert Hughes, Thomas Lankford, J ames Bates. and
Edward Thomas, all of whom were members of Henrico Monthly Meeting at the time. Lower
Quarter was represented by: Thomas Page, Ri chard Ratcliff, Isaac Ri cks, Nathan Newby, J o hn
Small, John Porter, William Scott Sr., Robert Jordan, Henry Wiggs, John Murdaugh, John
Jordan, Daniel Sanburn, Joseph Glasiter, Benjamin Small, James Jordan, Matthew Jordan, and
Samuel Jordan
Existing records of that 1702 meeting give some feel for what, it was like. J\n account is
given of the traveling minister Thomas Tomas who also visited each or the indi v idual m eetinos
in the Yearly Meeting. Of his ministry, Friends said," the great and mi g hty power of God ha7h
through him (Tomas) mollified many stony hearts and made the lofty oaks to bow and bend. We
can truly say in the sense of God's love, that at our yearly meeting the shout of a king was
amongst us."
Early in their history Friends realized that there were certain people among them who had
been given special gifts and abilities for ministry. Because these gifts came from God, those
who possessed them were "recorded" as having such gifts, and they we re referred to as "recorded
ministers." Quakers required no formal training or education for their mini ste rs, only
recognition of gifts for ministry. In keeping with their testimony on equality. Friends made no
distinction between men and women in the area of recording. Of the first four people recorded
as ministers among Friends in Virginia two were men and two were women.
Robert Jordan (1668-1728), son of Thomas and Margaret Jordan of C huckatuck, served as a
minster in the Chuckatuck Monthly Meeting and traveled as far as Pennsylvania visiting and
ministering among Friends. He was married to Mary Belson, which shows how closely Quakers
in Virginia were entertwined. Mary was the daughter of Edmond and Elizabeth Belson who held
early meetings in their home. Their other daughter, Elizabeth Belson Small ( 1666- 171 7) was
also a recorded minister among Friends in Virginia. As a young woman, Elizabeth married J olu1
Scott of Western Branch Meeting. After his death, she married Henry Hollowell of E lizabeth
River. Her last husband was Benjamin Small. Henry Hollowell's sister Elizabeth was married
to the third recorded minister in Virginia Yearly Meeting, Nathan Newby ( 1660-1 734). By
vocation, Nathan Newby was a blacksmith. He lived on the edge of the Dismal Swamp near the
North Carolina line. He was recorded as a minister at Somerton Meeting which was built on
land belonging to Leavin Bufkin who was married to Dorothy Newby, Nathan 's s iste r. Gabrie l
Newby, another brother in the family, was the first clerk of North Carolina Yearly Meeting. The

\llfglnla Appalachian Not~

�57
other reco rded minister was Jane Pleasants (1638-1708) of Henrico Meetina who served in the
Upper Quarter north of the James.
~

Quakerism prospered in eastern Virginia in the early part of the eighteenth century.
Meetings grew larger and new meetings sprang up such that in 1737 the individual congregations
that made up Chuckatuck Monthly Meeting were divided into two groups. The meetings in
Nansemond County became a part of Western Branch Monthly Meeting, and those in Isle of
Wight and Surry formed the Pagan Creek Monthly Meeting. While some of this spreading out
was a function of the increasing population, some of it was because Quakers on account of some
of their unique beliefs had frequent problems with the government of the colony and chose to
move to more isolated areas where they were free to live and worship as they were led.
Western Branch Meeting was named for the western branch of the Nansemond River. It was
an isolated, boggy area bordering on the Dismal Swamp, and Friends there were much less
conspicuous than in the more densely populated settlements along the James and Nansemond
rivers. As the area around Pagan Creek grew toward becoming the town of Smithfield, Friends
there began to move toward less populated places. In 1752, the Pagan Creek meetings were
reorgan ized as Black Water Monthly Meeting. The only existing minute book for Pagan Creek
Monthly Meeting primarily is a record of couples who were married under the care of the
Meeting from 1739 - 1750.
II The Meetings of Chuckatuck Monthly Meeting

Chuckatuck Monthly Meeting was given jurisdiction over four groups of particular
meetings. These included:
1. The. Chuckatuck (Nansemond) Meeting itself - the mother church of Quakerism in
Virginia located along the Chuckatuck Creek, built around 1674.
As was noted, most early Quaker meetings were held in private homes. The earliest
recorded meetings were held in the homes of Robert Lawrence and Thomas Jordan. The
Chuckatuck Meeting had its roots in these gatherings. The meeting house there seems to have
been the first one built in Virginia. Herny Wiggs and Catherine Yarrett were married in the
"general meeting house" at Chuckatuck on 12/3/1674/5 so it must have been built prior to that
date.
It was at the heart of the early Friends' movement in Virginia, but seems to have declined
as new meetings came into being. By 1737, it was no longer the force it once had been, and
what had once been Chuckatuck Quarterly Meeting was divided into Western Branch and
Blackwater Meetings. The last mention of the Chuckatuck Meeting is found in the journal of
Rachel Wilson who visited there in 1769. According to her account, they "rowed 20 miles
around Suffolk" to get to the meeting and then "rowed with Josiah Jordan to his hos 7 miles."
2. The other Nansemond Meetings:
When the quarterly meeting at Chuckatuck was set up by George Fox in 1672, its member
meetings included Chuckatuck, Levy Neck (Pagan Creek), Surry, and Nansemond monthly
meetings. There had been appointed meetings taking place in the homes of several Friends in
Nansemond before the first meeting house was built there on Leavin Buskin' s plantation in the

Virginia Appolochlan Notes

�58
Southern branch of the Nansemond River in 1702. From the names or Friends who con tributed
to this meeting - Robert Jordan, John Porter, Nathan Newby. a nd others. it is ckar th ut this was
the first Somerton Meeting house. It became a part of Western Branch w he n C huckut u c k was
divided in 1737. There was also a. Murdaugh's Meeting that met in the home of John Murdaugh
No meeting house was ever built and it was eventually j oined to one of th e o ther m ceti ngs
3. Isle of Wight Meetings
The original Isle of Wight meeting was the one in wh ich the Virg inia Yearly Meeting
convened in 1696 and was referred to as the general meeting house in Is le or Wight. Wi lli run
Bressie and his wife Susanna gave a building to be used as a meeting house and the land around
it for a cemetery to the Quakers in 1679. This was the Levy N eck or Pagan C reek Meeting and it
seems to have been the earliest organized meeting in Isle of Wight. Prior to that, what was
referred to as a " large" group of Friends had been meeting at Wil liam Ya rrc tt's h o u se. Matthew
Jordan of Chuckatuck married Susanna Bird Bressie widow of William 's ne phew at Levy Neck
Meeting House in 1702. The first surviving minutes of the Virginia Y early Meeting in 1702
indicate that it was held at Levy Neck Meeting House. The name Levy Neck seems to h ave
been used interchangeably with Pagan Creek and also with T errascoe Neck.
Another meeting listed as being in Isle of Wight was Lawne's Creek. Thi s creek is the
border between Isle of Wight and Surry, so most of this group may have been from S urry. ln
1702, Friends in Isle of Wight instructed those in the Western Bra nch of the Nansemond to
proceed with the building of a meeting house for which the Ricks, Scotts , D e n s ons, a nd others
made contnlmtions. This new meeting house was in the v icinity of Is le of Wight Co urthouse and
was known as Western Branch.
4. Surry Meetings
There is very little information available about the Surry meetings unti I after 1737 when they
became a part of Blackwater quarter. The minutes have been lost or destroyed. The earliest
Surry name found in the Chuckatuck records is that of John Fowler who was one of thos e to
whom George Fox's 1672 letter was addressed.
The earliest county records indicate several
known Quakers who were living in Surry in 1687: Anselm Bailey, William Seward, Thomas
Partridge, William Bartlett, John Barnes, Thomas Wolves, George Morrell, and Robert Lacey

The following information is found in the C huckatuck Quarterly Meeting book relative to
Surry families:
John Person, son of John of Isle of Wight, married in Thomas Took's house, Mary
Partridge, daughter of Thomas of Surry on 1/ 10/ 1691/2.
George Murrall, son of George of Surry, married at Western Branch Meeting
House, Mary Waters, daughter of Walter of Isle of Wight, 2/16/ 1704
John Collings married in the house of his father-in-law (stepfather) John Barnes, Mary
Took of Surry County, 12/14/1682
Representatives to the Virginia Yearly Meeting in 1702 from Surry were Samue l Cornwall
and John Took.
As was indicated, most of these families seemed to have li ved near the Surry/Isle of Wight
border and were probably a part of the Lawne's Creek Meeting which seems to have been started

Viglnlo AppolochJon Notes

�by the Took fami ly. By the time Blackwater Meeting was set up, most of the Quakers in Surry
were living along the Blackwater River close to the Southampton/Surry border though some
Jived in S ussex Cow1ty as wel l. When Blackwater Monthly M eeting was set off from Pagan
C reek prior to 1750. it included:
/\. S urry (B lack Water) Meeting in Surry County - the m eeting house was on Joseph
Hargrave· s property
B. Butler' s Meeting - began m eeting at the home of the Butler family in Dinwiddie
County , around 1722 later known as Gravelly Run
C . Burleigh (Burley) Meeting - met near Robert Hunnicutt's about 1718, later a meeting
house was built o n his property
D . S tanto n' s Meeting - m et in the home of the Stanton family in Sussex County until a
meeting house was built

5. Norfolk County Meetings
The meeting in Norfolk Cormty in so far as is known were all in private homes. By 1665,
most of the Quakers there had moved into Nansemond County to get away from the persecution
in Norfolk. Thomas Hollowell and George Kemp of Elizabeth River were mentioned in George
Fox's lette r of 1672.
By 1780, there were only two monthly meetings south of the James River. Black Water
Monthly M eeti ng included all the individual congregations in Surry, Sussex, Prince George,
Dinwiddie, and Southampton Counties, and Western Branch Monthly Meeting was made up of
w hat remained of the earlier gToups in Nansemond and Isle of Wight counties.
Inform ation on the Upper Monthly Meeting will be found in " Quakers of Southwest Virginia"
since most of the m eetings west of Richmond had their roots in Henrico Monthly Meeting.

�In an effort to attract more members of the black community to the South\vc s tcm
Virginia Genealogical Society, starting with this issue, the VAN w ill c onta in at le a s t
one article strictly related to African American history and genealogy. N e w African
American members are encouraged to share their family stories and famil y histories.
We can remember that in the year 2006 Virginia Appalachian Notes came to embrace
an even larger portion of Southwest Virginia' s genealogy enthus ias ts . With eighty-two
countries represented at the Local Colors celebration in Roanoke, who knows what
other ethnic groups might be sharing their family histories in the future pages of the

Virginia AppalachlOn Notes

�Bland Readies for Its Centennial
By Goodridge Wilson
People in Bland County are agog with enthusiasm over their county· s centen ni a l
year and are hastily and happily worlcing together in tine fashion to be ready for a threeday celebration next summer. Among other features, a history of the county w ill be rc.ady
for distribution and a colorful historical pageant worked up and staged by local ta lent w i 11
be shown. Committees on these two major projects arc making good progress. In
response to appeals to the public for information, a surprisi ngly large volume of histo ri cal
data has to come to light, brought in from receptacles in atti~ trunks and other places
where old family letters, documents, and relics are kept. The manuscript for the fir::&gt;t h a lf
of the county history is now in the hands of the printer and the remainder w ill be given to
him soon. The pageant writers and costume procurers are getting alo ng with the ir j obs.
The big show will be put on some time in late July or early Augu st.
In chronological order of birth, Bland is the twentieth county establis hed in
Southwest Virginia and Bland the village is the twenty-second county scat, two counties
previously organized having had two county seats apiece, Montgomery with Fort
Chiswell and Christiansburg, and Russell with Dickensonville and Lebonon. The journal
of the Senate of Virginia records the county's birthday as March 30, 186 l , that be ing the
day on which the act was passed to set apart portions of Giles, Tazewe ll and Wythe
counties to form a new county to be called Bland, in honor of Richard B land of Jordan's
Point on James River in Prince George County.
Richard Bland was one of the group of remarkably able men who led the Virginia
Colony into rebellion against Great Britain. He was known as "the Virginia Antiquary,,
because of his thorough and accurate knowledge of the history of the colony in a ll its
phases, was a profound logician, and perhaps the best writer of the period.
His pamphlets clarified the issues and laid the foundations fo r the Revolution. H e
was a member of the Continental Congresses of 1774 and 1775, but resigned from the
latter because of ill health. He was chosen by the Virginia Convention that year as one of
the 11 men who composed the Committee of Safety, that was in effect the governing
bo~~ until the Constitution was adopted in June of 1776. He was born in 1710 and died in
Williamsburg from an attack of apoplexy that struck while he was walking on the s treet
on Oct. 26, 1776, while in the city to attend the first meeting of the Legislature, in which
he represented bis county. Thomas Jefferson rated him "the wisest man South of James
River."
Between March 30 and Aug. 15, 1861, elections were held and the following
county officers were chosen: John W. Tracy, Clerk of the County Court; Wm. R.
Harman, Clerk of the Circuit Court; William N. Harman, Commonwealth's Attorney;
Samuel N. Newberry, Sheriff; Wm. G. Mustard, Surveyor; Franklin I , Suitor,
Commissioner of Revenue.
On Aug. 15, 1861, the county was organized in a vacant store building owned by
James W. Grayson at a place called The Crab Orchard. The following were sworn in as
Justices of the Peace after presenting commissions from the Governor of Virginia: John
R. Compton, John W. Harm~ Madison Allen, Albert G. Updike, William E. Hoge, John
C. Shannon, John C. Locke, James A. Repass, Thomas Shannon, William Groseclose, E li

Virginia Appolachlon Notes

�F. Groseclose, William M. Bishop, Peter C. Honaker, Thomas N. Kinzer and Stephen
Gose.
William Groseclose was elected Presiding Justice of the CourL The county
officials previously chosen by the electorate were sworn in. Arrangement was made for
renting Mr. Groseclose's store building and the Clerk was directed to have it altered and
fitted up as a temporary court house.
Subsequently Mr. Grayson donated a suitable tract of level land in a meadow of
Crab Orchard Creek as a site for the county buildings. The War having started no attempt
was made to erect buildings for about 10 years, and the county got along with the rented
ones. The name of the place chosen as the county seat was changed from The Crab
Orchard to Seddon, in honor of James Alexander Seddon, a former representative of
Virginia in the Congress of the United States and Secretary of War in Jefferson Davis~
cabinet from 1862- 1865. Later the name was changed to Bland.
A contract for the first court house was let in 1872 and the finished building was
accepted in I 874. This house burned on the night of Dec. 5, 1888. The main part of the
present Court House was erected on the same site.
One of the first orders of the court constituted on Aug. 15, 1861, was to
"appropriate the sum of fifteen hundred and seventy dollars to be expanded for the use of
the vo lunteers of this coWlty," the money to be borrowed and the Clerk to borrow the
same and issue a bond for it.
Flanking the Court House, near the centers of vacant sections of the grounds on
either side are two monuments. One is a finely executed statue of a Confederate soldier.
The other is a plain but impressive granite shaft in memory of Thomas J. Muncy, a
favorite son of the county and a popular political figure. It was erected soon after hls
death in 1922 by his fellow Republicans of the Ninth Congressional District.

Tips on Bland County Historical Research
(Or information that's vital that has not been written down until now)
I . Be mindful of county formation lines an&lt;J yet also be willing to ignore County
formation lines. In searching for the elusive records we all want to find I
have found more than once that the records I was searching for were in the
adjoining "parent" county and not in Bland County where they should be.
Knowing the location of your ancestor in the land that became Bland County
and th e closest county seat can help you find records. Especially with land
records, until the land was sold no record will exist for the most part in the
newly formed Bland County (for the most part) especially land located near
" parent" county lines.
2 . If trying to find a physical location of say a cemetery, when asking d irections

you will have to know the way the streams and creeks flow.
Directions in Bland County are still given by whether the location is up a
creek or down. For example, the community of Grapefield th ey will tell you
is ''UP \Volf Creek" me&amp;ning towards the head waters of Wolf Creek
towards Tazewell and Burkes Garden. The community of Niday however is
considered "DOWN Wolf Creek" and towards Narrows and the New River.
The dividing line of Up and Down is old North-South Route 52 through the
county. This road also used to be called the Raleigh-Grayson Turnpike. "UP"
is usually West and " Down" is usually East unless it is up Dry Fork Creek
which runs from East to West.

3. The farther back you go in researching the records of the land that became
Bland County the more courthouses, libraries, ar chives etc. you will get to
know personally to find your ancestors. And it will do you well to be mindful
of who their neighbors are- on the census records, deeds etc. to help in
locating those records you are searching for in a new county search.
4. Be mindful of the geography or lay of the land. Especially when wanting to
know and visit the areas that your ancestors lived. Farmers worked farms
vsually in valleys not mountain tops. There were many thriying communities
in Bland County that are long since deserted now. Learning those
communities can help you place where say a lawyer practiced and lived.

5. Most important. Build a r apport and a connection by becoming a member of
the local historical societies and genealogy groups where your search leads
you. These organizations can help you cut your research time and costs in
half with their knowledge and expertise of their county records as well as
their collections may even have on file what you are looking for.

AND THIS (TOO) SHALL PASS
(TWO)
by: Hazel Wells Collins
The year of 1916 was one of unrest in the United States for we were nbo ut to enter
World War One. I arrived that year on November sixteenth to the sheer delight of m
father who already had two fine sons. Most men say they would prefer sons to daughters
but that was not the case with my daddy. He adored little girls. l was spoiled, catered to
and given almost everything I could want for eight years then we had another baby gi r1 to
take my place. 1 became my sisters second mother. I took her everywhere I we nt w ith
her always sitting on my hip. Neighbors would tease me by saying "she has a I ittlc
growth on her hip'.
I was born and raised in a very small village (Lafayette Virginia). We had jus t two
stores and one of them had a post office, which bars and a window that would raise up so
the postmaster could hand out the mail. One member of each family wo uld go to the
store twice a day, stand and wait for the mailman to bring in the mail bag . T hen the s tore
keeper would sort and call out the name on each piece of mail. If a name was called and
no one was there to collect it the postman would put that mail in a little pigeo n ho le . The
children would be quiet as a mouse whjle the mail was being called out. T his was a
pleasant time for children as well as adults. It is a practice which has long s ince passed
out of style. Even my own children never had the opportunity to stand in Ii ne a nd see if
anyone in their family had received any mail.
We had one church which was the only brick building in our village so everyone
went to it. You might say we were a11 Methodist b ecause that was it' s denomination .
Sunday was a big day for everybody. The children were up early, dressed a nd waiting
just to hear the church bell ring which summons us to Sunday school. Then again in the
evening we went to preaching. Our church couldn' t afford a preacher just for us alone.
He had several other churches to minister. We had a number of deacons who would take
over on Wednesday for prayer meeting. The store keeper I postmaster was also a man of
great faith always available to take over any meeting in the church. Our church could
boast just a little for we always had at least one member of every family with perfect
attendance for the year.
We had one crippled girl in the village and she had a perfect attendance at church as
long as her mother and father lived which was about twenty six years. But as everything
wi11 pass or at least change - this did too. This girl is living as this is being written, but
she is in a sanitarium a great many miles from her small home area.
Ann, as I am going to call her was very much a part of our village. Although she was
much older than I, she was invited to every birthday or any kind of party which we h ad .
One of us children would go and push her to most every event be ing held. She would
take part in the games, laughing, and having fun., and although she couldn't speak very
distinct we always knew what Ann was saying.
As I sit here thinking about her I can't help but know how lucky she was to have
been born in our small village where she was so much a part of everything. We children
were always willing to talk, play, and take her any place she wanted to go. We didn' t
think anything strange about her being in a wheel chair. Then was not like today when a

girl like An n wo uld be put in a home where she wouldn' t have the companionship of
strong a nd healthy c hildre n like we were.
O ur v illage had a flour mill where the farmers in and around us brought their wheat
to be made into fl our and the ir com to be made into com meal. This mill was a very busy
place. T he re was a sawmill connected to it where logs were sawed into Lumber. As
c hil dren thi s was a de li ghtful place to go and spend an hour or two, but we were never
a llowed to go thro ugh the mill unless we were accompanied by some adult
M y daddy worked on the railroad and was away from home all week but was home
on Saturday and Sunday. I'll never forget one Saturday my daddy was going to talce
som e com to be made into meal and I was allowed to go with him. The miller who lived
across the street from the mill took us on a tour of the mill. It was a big building that was
run by wate r. As you go into the mill it had hal f doors and the bottom part was always
c losed and chi ldren couldn ' t get them open. It was such a nice smell as you entered
whe re you c ould see bin fi lled \vith com and wheat. There was a large wheel made of
stone a nd the re was a race, as it was called, that brought the water right into the mill
w he n the gates o f the race were opened, this rushing water caused the stone wheel to
tum. The mill was three stories high with open steps to walk up. The wheat \ &lt;VaS crushed
on the top floor and it was sifted down through cloth. You couldn' t see the flour until it
came out to be bagged on the first floor. Everyone depended on the mill for flour, meal,
brand and c hop. T he c hop was fed to the pigs and cows.
O h yes, we had a School house. No, it wasn' t a one room school and it wasn•t red
e ithe r as all small towns were supposed to have. Our school house was painted w hite and
had three room s. It was on an island and to get to it we had to cross the mill race on a
sm a ll bridge. There were seven grades taught in our school When children finished the
seventh grade they had to ride a school bus about ten miles to the high school, and they
had to pay for the ride.
W e ll, the time fina lly rolled around that I was old enough to go to school. We didn't
have a kinde rgarten and you had to be six years old to attend public school. When you
have olde r brothe rs which are already in school the time passes so slow until you are old
enough to e nter school. Then that magic day arrives and I was so eager and excited now
tha t I would be in school. On the very first day in school I learned a lesson which almost
broke m y h e art I had never been inside a school room and mamma didn't take me as
most mothers do. My brothers just took me to my room then went on to their own room.
We w e re told to sit down, and one of the older children took our coats, hats, and
sweate rs up and put them in a closet. Then just before school was let out for the day that
stude nt would go to the front of the room with the wraps and hold them up one at the
time so we could claim our own. I didn' t know how you were to get yours so when my
pretty new re d sweater was held up I j umped up out of my seat and yelled, "that's my
swe ate r". T he teache r came back a nd slapped me in the face, which made me cry. Then
she explained this is what would happen to the other children if they got out of their seats
before a ll clothing had bee n brought to the~ and the teacher had excused the class for
the day.

I started to run home crying as I went saying to myself, ··1 won' t go to schoo l any
more as long as I live." A neighbor's son, who was a couple of years olde r than l was
caught up with me, put his arm around my shoulder and said, " Don't cry". J le went o n,
"Let me tell you about my first day in school, I didn ' t just get a slap as you did'". He
continued talking, "I got a whipping with a switch because l hit a boy that had hit m e .. .
"So,yougotoff easyanditwon't happenagain ifyou wi ll only stay in yo ur seat, and
raise your hand when your clothing is held up, then it will be brought to yo u·'.
I had stopped crying by the time I got home. Then l told momma what had happened
to me. She sided with the teacher, but explained how the teacher couldn' t a llow a ll the
children to jump up and yell, it was her place to keep order in her class. l e nded m y first
day in school with a bard but good lesson learned.
We were taught lot more than reading, writing, and arithmetic at our schoo l. Most
of what we learned was not taught from books. The teachers were never too busy to vis it
in our homes. Upon their visits a group of girls would teach the teacher a few things, I ike
how to iron a shirt or make a platter of candy. In return we were being taught a lesson in
fellowship or communication without ever being aware of it.
We had rules and regulations to go by - the teachers had the right to punish you when
ever you did wrong- even to whip you with a switch if yo u deserved it. I was no
exception. I had a whipping for jumping the race. Our school had a rule th at no child
could go near the race much less get up in the fork of a sycamore tree and jump to the
other side.
Our school house was different in an another way from school houses today as we
didn't have a janitor to keep it clean. That was a job for the older boys and girl s. Each of
us were always glad when it was our tum to sweep, dust the erasers, or wash the windows
and the blackboard. We were always proud of the way our school house looked.
All of the children were a healthy bunch and the teachers helped to kee p us that way.
One of the older boys would carry water in a big bucket for us to drink. We had a dipper
but no one was allowed to drink from it. You must bring a glass from home or make a
paper cup out of a piece of drawing paper. Twice a day our teacher would take u s out
side for our exercise. For fifteen minutes we did jumping jacks or ran around the school
house. School days were happy times.
Now, I will tell you about the morbid side of our village. We had an unde rtaker for
as you know death is a part of every town no matter the size. Our undertaker was a real
nice man, liked by one and all. He was real tall, stout and also good looking. His shop
was a small building where the corpse were laid out and where he did the embalming. It
wasn•t large enough for any funeral to be held there. When ever anyone died and was
laid out in the shop there would be candles burning. There was a chair for someone to
set with the corpse. Anyone could come by and look at the dead person.
We had one man that caused quite a stir. He had been electrocuted for his part in a
robbery in New York City. His aunt, that raised him lived in our town so she wanted him
brought to our morgue and to be buried in our cemetery. He was brought to the shop and
some one put candles to burn over him. This was just the start of things. Some of the

peo ple didn ' t want him to be laid to rest in our cemetery. Others said that the notoriety
of his crime would give our small village a bad name if we allowed him to be buried
here. T his talk we nt on for several days while everybody even folks from the
surrounding communities fil ed by his casket at the undertakers shop.
I re member my father and mother talking about how they couldn' t see as how it
would hurt our village to have this criminal buried in our cemetery. I was allowed to
pass by the casket to see him and I will never forget how he looked. His hair bad been
shaved off and the re was a wide brown ring around his head.
The decision was finally made to let him be buried here. As I think back on this
happening I believe it was a lesson for our young people to see someone that had to pay
the s upreme sacrifice for taking part in a crime.
We didn' t have any law enforcement officers then and we really didn' t need any,
because I can only recall one time when anyone in our village was in trouble with the
law. He was caugh t stealing w hite leghorn chickens and he served two years in the pen
for his crime. After he paid his debt to society he turned out to be a fine man. Now he is
married, has two beautiful children and is very much a part of our fine community.
I won't say that there weren't some shady things going on in our village. Most of the
harm done by these perpetrators was done to themselves. Like, take a woman who's
husband worked away from home, who had another man come to live with her while her
husband was away. She thought she kept him hidden from her ·neighbors, but that fact
and her s ignals were known by most of the town 's people. She was only hurting herself
and no one e lse. Then there was a young girl who had a baby without being married.
The child was not hidden away, but was raised by her parents. He lived quite a normal
life without being pointed out as the boy without a father.
When I was young our village didn~ t have a doctor either, but we did have a
midwife, she was an aunt of my father's. When she got old my mother took her place. It
was common knowledge for our family to know who was expecting a baby. The women
would come and tell mamma so she could market it down and be ready to go to help
them when it was time for the baby to arrive.
I didn' t like for my mother to be called on every time someone had a baby for it was
a lways at night and I would have to do more work, work that mamma always did. She
was very seldom ever paid much and some times she wouldn' t receive anything. If the
mother hadn' t prepared for the new baby mamma would take all the clothing the new
baby would need from our home with her. She was always making dippers from old
worn-out sheets and flour sacks. 1 never could understand why every time a baby was
born it was storming, raining, snowing, or very hot. I don' t remember anyone ever
having a baby on a real nice night.
So - l made myself a promise, that I have kept to this day, that is never start being a
midwife. I would do most anything to help anyone except help deliver a baby. And now
this has pass for I don' t believe there are any midwives even in small towns today. What
with our ambulances and life saving crews so available there isn't a need for anyone
other than a doctor to deliver a baby - except in the case of an emergency then there is the

goodness for modem conveniences.
I hope I have given you a clear picture of some of the people of our community .
Now, I will try to describe to you just how our village would have looked w h e n l was a
young girl.
As you leave the main highway coming into our vi llage the first thing sec off in the
distance is the mountain, tall, blue, and beautiful next you wi ll notice the ri ver so nice
and clear with willow trees standing so stately and green a long its bank.
The Roanoke River was a most important source of food . One could tell the season
of the year by the crowds of people coming from near by towns a nd c ities first to trout
fish in the spring and then to grab hook in the summer. Our ri ver was as clear as the
spring water from which it was formed. lf we kept o ur river clean it would s upply us
with all kinds offish, turtles, and frogs. Almost every member of the fam ily h ad a
fishing pole to use. There were very few reels, ours were home made from one of the
many willow trees which lined both sides of the river. Along the ri ver there was a lso a
large supply of small animals. The boys of the village could trap these animals a nd sell
their fur for money.
For the children of our village the river was a place where we spent m a ny hours just
having fun. We swam when the weather was warm, - girls in an old dress and the boys in
old blue jeans. Every boy and girl considered the river his or her own swimming pool.
There weren't any swimming lessons but the older children taught the youn ger ones.
There was one place in the north fork of the river just above the railroad bridge called
the whirl pool where the boys could go and swim in the nude. This was quite proper
because it couldn' t be seen from where anyone lived or the road.
Almost every boy and girl could row a boat. Everyone kept their boat tied up nea r
where they lived. Most every family had a carpenter so we built our own boats. My
father being a carpenter by trade built our boat. Even as children we were taught to drive
a nail and saw a plank so we helped. Each winter we would take our boat out of the
water, tar the bottom and paint it. When spring came we always had a boat that wouldn' t
leak ready for hours of fun on our river.
You could see our railroad running along side the river. It was a very important p art
of our village. The Virginian Railroad provided work for some of our men like m y
father. It also brought and took our mail twice a day. The pleasant rumble of the train
and it's long whistle was about the last sound we heard before going to sleep every night.
Next we come to the first home. It was a large two story white house with a big
yard filled with flowers of all kinds. This home was owned by a man and his wife who
never had any children of their own. Over the years they adopted several children which
they raised teaching them how to work, play and become solid citizen. One of the boys I
have already mentioned stole the chickens, but ended up a fine part o f our community.
Next we come to the undertakers shop. It's painted dark red and sits in the com e r of
his garden next to his house. Then there a re two more houses one on each side of the .
road. On the right side of the road is the first of three swinging bridges. Today there is a

bridge for cars to cross the river, but when I was a child the bridge had two cables to hold
onto, fe nce wire to protect the children on both sides, and two big boards wide enough to
walk on. It was so much fun to walk on the swinging bridge and I did almost everyday.
You see we had two cows which we kept in a pasture across the river just about a
mile up the holle r road. One of my brothers and [took turns milking. I would milk one
week morning and afternoon and he would milk one week. One week when it was
brothers week to milk the cows just didn' t give any milk. Well mamma found out that
my brother was having milk battles with a girl that milked in the same place. I don' t
remembe r what his punishment was but I'm glad that wasn't me.
l always crossed the S\vtnging bridge every Friday evening when the passenger train
brought the men home from their jobs for the weekend My daddy would always bring us
children some small gift when he came home. This was something to look forward to all
week. We would go with daddy across the bridge on Sunday evening and watch him
catch the train back to work.
Two houses just past the swinging bridge was our home. It wasn' t such a fine house
and it wasn' t as large as some of the homes, but it wasn't as small as some. Never the
Jess we loved every inch of iL Just up church hill from our house was the blacksmith
shop. I spent many happy hours turning the billows to make the fire burn hotter so it
would heat the horseshoes. Then the blacksmith could hammer and bend them to fit the
horse. How sad l was when the blacksmith died for we never got another to take his
place. After a few years his shop was tom down to make way for more Sunday school
rooms to be added to our church. The blacksmith shop had been on a small comer lot
joining the church yard. This might have been progress, but it was a passing that I didn' t
like, and as a child I just couldn' t understand.
1t was about this time that our little village got its first car. That was a day, everyone
was out in their yards looking at the car going by. It was bright red with a black top that
could be put down. For weeks every time we heard the car coming we would run out to
see it pass by so we could wave at the driver. The owner was the postmasters brother
who was a railroad engineer. Everybody thought he must be rich to be able to buy such a
fine car. It wasn't too long before we had a second car in our village. It belonged to the
postmaster, next the other store owner got one, then the miller got a car so it wasn't
much of a thrill to watch so many cars, besides none were as pretty as the first one. They
were just plain black and if I remember correct none of the other cars had a top that could
be put &lt;town.
Oh! while I'm at it I must tell you about the first radio to come to our village. l had
already had the pleasure of listing to a radio before we got the first one in the village.
The one I heard was a crystal set. It was owned by an aunt of one of my girl friends. Her
aunt lived up the road about a mile from us. I would go with my friend to spend the night
with her aunt and everyone would take turns putting on the earphones to listen to the
music. I don ' t remember much about the music or what was said but I do remember it
being loud and squeaky. Now back to our village' s first radio. The postmaster was the
one that bought it, he couldn't let his brother get all the notoriety by getting everything

that we all would like to have, but could not afford. The radio was like a drawing card.
It was kept right in the back window of the store where it could be heard on the out s ide
as well as inside. It was right where the men could sit around the potbellied stove, chew
their tobacco and listen to the music or the one big favorite program. ln those days that
program was Amos and Andy. When ever my daddy was at home and it was almost
seven o' clock he would tell momma, "Got to go to the store to hear Amos and Andy. "
He would always bring us children some kind of treat but he would never let us go w ith
him. He said that was no place for children, but the good thing was he would always
come home and act out all the parts of Amos and Andy to keep us from wanting to follow
him to the store to so we could hear it on the radio our selves. Daddy was quite an actor,
he did the parts so well we really enjoyed hearing him repeat the show for us. He could
do the dialect of every character prefect.
Among the fondest memories of daddy was his portrayal of the different ne ighbo rs
and friends in our area. The Thomas family lived about two miles from us across the
river and up the hollow where only two families lived. They would come into the village
about once a week to get a few things from the store like salt and sugar. They rai sed
most everything they ate including apples and other fruit. Mr. Thomas stuttered when he
talked, my daddy could talk so much like him you would have thought it was Mr.
Thomas himself. My mother thought that daddy was making fun of the way some of the
neighbors talked. But to me daddy was paying each man and woman that he imitated a
complement. It takes someone who pays attention to learn just how someone stands,
walks, and talks to act like that person. Mamma would always say that it was a wonder
that any of their children could be themselves with their father always acting like som e
one else.
After our house on Water Street going west was the parsonage where years ago the
preacher lived. The first preacher that I remember who lived there was a cripple man. He
and his wife would go places in their buggy and my being a neighbor once they took m e
with them to one of the other churches several miles away. It always made me very
proud to be ask to ride with them but they didn't have any children of their own.
This was about the only house in the village that was later turned into a renter's
house. It had been bought by a man from Roanoke, a city about eighteen miles away. It
was several years before we met Mr. Williams. l didn' t like him from the first time that I
saw him. The only time he came to our village was to yell at the people living in his
house about rent that they owed him. He didn't look like a man that needed money
because he had a car and was always dressed like he was going to a funeral. He always
looked down on the people who rented his house as if they weren't his kind of people.
He proved to be a very hard man as he put one of his tenants out in the street because she
couldn't pay the rent. This widow woman had five children still at home. Her husband
bad heart trouble and hadn' t been able to work for about a year when he died. She was a
very hard working woman, but she had gotten behind in her rent by the time her husband
died. I'll never forget seeing the sheriff from a small town about ten miles away come to
put this poor widow woman who had no place to go out of her home.

T his is where m y mother proved what a wonderful woman she was. Mamma helped
carry al l of this woma n's furniture down the road and store it in our barn. Then she took
straw ti c ks a nd made beds for the children on our floor. We kept them until the widow
woma n fou nd a job in a nearby town and was able to move and take care of her family.
T h is was the first tim e that rnamma took a whole family into our home but it wasn't the
last tim e.
A ll of the homes in our vi llage were arranged in an orderly fashion All of the houses
were o n the so uth side of the ri ver which was laid out like a small city with the church in
the cente r. Just across the street from the church was our shoe shop. It was a small lean
to built on to Mr. Arc hie's house. In the front yard he had a tame strawberry patch with a
hig h wire fence around the house and yard. When the berries were ripe Mr. Archie bad a
time trying to keep the boys out of them. While he was busy hammering on his shoes the
boys would try to sneak some berries, but it seamed like Mr. Archie had eyes in the back
of h1s h ead because he would ye ll at the boys to stay out of his strawb erry patch. You
should have seen those boys scatter, they knew Mr. Archie would come after them with
his cane. I can see him now, he always wore dark clothing, walked with his cane and
was stooped fro m working so long over his last fixing shoes.
You could go by his house at night and he would be sitting over his last with a lamp
burning bright and his speculates sitting on the end of his nose working bard on
someone's shoes. When you went to get the shoes he had fixed for you he would give
you a big strawberry. This made him the friend of children and adults alike. I don 't ever
rem ember Mr. Arc hie having a wife, but of course he did because one of his children
lived with he r husband a nd thei r seven children in our village.
I guess you could say we were poor people, but you could ask any of the thirty SL'&lt;
families in our village and they would say that we were all rich as there wasn't anything
that we didn't h ave at least we thought we had everything. We had our river, two stores,
one has a post office, the flower mill and lumber yard combined, a blacksmith shop to
keep the horses shoed, a shoe shop to keep the children in shoes, an undertaker to bury
the dead, a three room school and the church which gave every family a felling of being
one in a spiritual sen se.
There was one other building in our village, that was the Odd Fellows hall on Main
Street. It played a real important part in all our lives. It was not only used for the men
that belonged to the Odd Fellows, but it had a stage where to local folks put on plays
using the village people as actors. Then when money was needed for some project there
would be a string band from a nearby town come to play. The hall would seat about one
hundred and fifty people, that is if you sat real close together on the long wooden
benches. Who would mind setting on wooden benches to listen to good country music or
your own people acting out some play like ' The Eyes of March'. The lodge was the only
p lace which youngsters got a c hance to try their hand at acting. Each year our church put
on a C hristmas program with a play a nd all the children who wanted a part got one.
Some of the young people read poems. The girls couldn' t wait to get old enough to take
part in the pantomime . We wore long pastel colored gowns with tinsel around the neck,

sleeves and head band. The pantomime was near the end of the program then several of
the church men would give out presents.
Oh! I must tell you about the tree. It was always a big tall tree decorate d o nly with
handkerchiefs, socks, and small dolls. Nothing was wrapped. To me this typ e of tre e was
the prettiest thing a child could ever see, and he or she would never forget. Every child
would receive a present. The parents and Sunday school teachers always saw that no
youngster was left with out a present. To hear your name called out with some cute
remark made about you would make the children squeal with deli ght.
Todav many ofthe phlfsfcal properties like rite mountain. the river. rat/road. the cfturc/1. and scorra l
oftAe old houses still remain. but the real way of life of111!1 vouth indeed ltas long passes.

Center on Gloucester, Virginia. This story was written in the 1950s.

February 2006
Happy New Year!
Let me introduce myself. I'm Pam Brammer Young. I have a B.A. in history from Elon
University in NC and have worked in the Virginia Room the past 3 years. My pare nts and
grandparents are from the Roanoke area - my mother's side 5 generations in F loyd county. My
mother is currently working to help restore the old Jacksonville Cemetery in Floyd where a son
of Patrick Henry is buried along with the founders of the town. My Dad's side is a work in
process.
We've got great programs this year. Karen Kappesser is teaching "Beyond ancestry'' at the main
library February 14. The class, as of February 3, was full! We're hoping she'll agree to teach it
again, maybe on a weekend later this summer.
For the March meeting Ms. Denise Smith of the Bland County Historical Society will be giving a

talk. Elaine Powers continues to get wonderful speakers.
Jim Nelson has been volunteering in the Virginia Room transcribing the Marsteller (the
tombstone company in Roanoke) records. I know the Virginia Room and a great many
researchers appreciate his efforts.
The Virginia Room has their first open house coming up February 9. Many treasures wi 11 be on
display and you'll be privy to the Special Collections temperature and humidity controlled room
where the oldest treasures are kept. The staff has been working feverishly to get ready and hopes
everyone will be pleased. They have a few surprises too.
Any aspiring editors out there? The VAN needs an editor for 2006. Try it - you might like it!

If anyone bas any ideas they would like to share please email me at PMYoungOO l@aol.com.
I've got ideas to share at the next meeting. One goal for SVGS is to increase membership. If
you have ideas please share them.
Hope to see you at the next meeting!

Best Regards,
Pam

�CORRECTION
The Marsteller records we published in the Fall 2005 issue are available in th e Virg in ia
Room.
And Oops!

The transcriber, used an "AutoComplete" feature of the word processor so ft ware a nd not
proofing the print out. Date of Birth and Date of Death were the affected entries.
Any year shown as 20.XX should be 19XX. Sorry for the slip up!

Fair View Cemetery Staff - 1929

Bruce Griggs, President of Fairview (fifth from left), is joined by fellow workers at the fountain
near the cemetery office. More workers were required in 1929 than today. Graves were dug b y
hand,and horses were used to provide "power" for much of the general maintenance work.

Tinnell Family Cemetery
on Bent Mountain, Roanoke County, Virginia

Amanda Martin Tinnell

Francis Marion Tinnell

Matilda Grice Tinnell

How to get there: Take RT. 221 South. Beginning at the intersection of 419 and 221, you will
go 6.2 miles on RT 221 toward Bent Mountain. After 5.0 miles, you will pass Back Creek
Elementary School on your left. After 5.5 miles, you will pass Haran Baptist Church on your
left. Travel only 0.7 miles further and then turn right on Forest Edge Drive. Turn right at the
next street, which is Cedar Edge Road. Turn right at the next street, which is Vista Forest Drive.
Proceed to #8031 Vista Forest Drive, and drive down the long asphalt driveway to the house.
Park at the front of the house, which belongs to Mrs. Flannagan.
As you are facing the front of the house (8031 Vista Forest), walk around the right side of the
house and proceed down the hill until you reach the flattened out area. You will notice that
there seems to be a path from this yard to the right side. This path is right near a birdhouse that
is placed in the yard. You may also see the white sign in a tree, to the right of the yard, that says,
"Tinnell Cemetery".
Alternatively, you may be able to drive to the cemetery if you have a truck with a good low
gear. Here is how. After you pass the Haran Baptist Church, look on the right side of the road
for the mailbox and driveway for Mr. Arnold Duncan at 7673 Bent Mountain Road (Rt. 221).
Mrs. Duncan told me that she thought that you could still navigate the road to the cemetery,
which is little more than a clear, grass-covered path up the mountain, wide enough though for
a vehicle or tractor. If you want to drive to the cemetery, you should call in advance and speak
with Mr. or Mrs. Duncan at 540-774-3385.

Mr. Lowe first spoke of the History of Early Quakers in eastern Virginia and then on the
History of Quakers in Southwest Virginia. He generously gave us permission to publish his
presentation. He also provided a Chart of 1669 immigrant Zachariah Moorman's Descendants.
Mr. Moorman's wife was Mary Candler (Candler's Mountain Road). These articles will be
published at a later date.
Thank you, Mr. Lowe!

�l\10NTGOMERY COUNTY OBJTUARIES

Editor's Note: The following obituaries were posted on the RootsWeb.com e-mail list for
Montgomery Country, Virginia in March of 1999. We are publishing them as they might be of
interest to members researching in Montgomery County. The person posting the obituaries
began the seri es with the following:
''My mother and I came across a box of obituaries my great-grandmother had saved from the
1940s-1970s in Blacksburg, VA. Unfortunately we don't have years for most of them, but some
of them still have good genealogy clues so I'm transcribing them here. We suspect that they
came from the Roanoke Times newspaper, but aren't completely sure. Some of them had dates
handwritten on them. I have noted these where they occurred. I have no further information on
any of these people, though."

NEWS RELEASE
The Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society and the Genealogical Society of
Pennsylvania have reached an agreement to hold a state-wide genealogical conference in
Pittsburgh on September 29 and 30, 2006. This event, the first state-wide genealogical
seminar held in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, will undoubtedly draw considerable
numbers of family historians to Pittsburgh because Pennsylvania is a genealogically
significant state. For three centuries the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has been one of
the most populous colonies or states, so many family historians can track their ancestry
back to Pennsylvania.
Program specifics will be announced later in 2005. Conference planners, John T.
Humphrey and Barbara Braden Guffey, have noted the program will feature presentations
that will discuss all aspects of Pennsylvania research along with computer and Internet
topics as well as not-to-be missed methodology lectures.
Both societies have experience running large conferences. In 1997 the Genealogical Society
Qf Pennsylvania hosted the NGS Conference held at Valley Forge, and in 2003 the Western
Pennsylvania Genealogical Society hosted NGS's Centennial Conference. Both conferences
were among the most successful events NGS has held.

Dear Friends,
These past few days we have been enjoying beautiful fall w eather. All to soon winter w ill
arrive! May it bring time to concentrate on research or the writing of our family history.
Great news from the nominating committee! Serving are Babe Fowler and Cathy Vaughan,
with Jim Nelson as chairman. The newly elected are sure to bring great ideas and enthus iasm to
their office. The Fall issue of the VAN will be delayed s lightly so that we may include the results
of the November I 9 1h election. See p. 157 of this issue.
Now let us direct our attention towards an Editor and assistants for the VAN. It would be
great to have volunteers willing to record and prepare city, county and/or court records for
publication. Would you transcribe for someone ? Or wou ld you share research you have already
completed. Several folks doing 2 or 3 pages each could make a wonderful contrib~tion to our
quarterly. Perhaps you have a picture or two you would like to share. (black and wh ite seems to
reproduce best).
The January program, weather permitting, wiIJ feature Mr. An~hony Lowe on Quaker
settlement and genealogy. He is recognized for his knowledge of the sub~ect. The Quakers kept
wonderful records; you just might find that elusive ancestor there. Thrs source should not be
overlooked.
Again, we do appreciate Jim Nelson's volunteer work for the Virginia Room as we include
transcription of another volume of the Marsteller Stone Records' in this issue. Once more we are
indebted to Babe Fowler for the Index.
The time has come to say 'thank you' to all the folks who have worked hard on the socie~'s
b~halfthis past year and to the wonderfully congenial colleagues I have had the pleasure ofworkmg
with. It has been a.fine trip.
Sincerely,

/~'L&gt;L1

Started in 1927, the Marstetter Corporation provided many tombstones for the
surrounding area. For more see Vol. 28 #1Winter2004 of the VAN

ESTABLISHED IN 1890

Generous Donations Allow Replacement of Old Equipment
F air View Cemetery may hold a record for the
continuous use of aged equipment in the maintenance
of the 75-acre burial grounds.
Three Farmall tractors, vintage 1947, 1948 and
1949, have served the cemetery for more than 55
years. Two of the tractors saw their last days this year,
leaving only the 1948 Farmall in service.
Fortunately, a substantial and unexpected donation
allowed the purchase of a small 20 HP Nortrac at a
cost of $6,500, as well as other critical equipment.
The cemetery requires three riding lawnmowers.
We were able to purchase a Grasshopper riding
lawnmower for $9,500. Donations covered the cost of a

In Memory

JOSEPH BURWEIL
KENNERLY
April 18, 192/J -June26, 2004
T he Fair View Foundation
pays tribute to a devoted and
knowledgeable member of our Board of
Directors, Joseph Ken nerly.
Mr Kennerly's volunteer service to the Board
spanned 28 years - one of the lo ngest tenures in
the 114-year history of Fair View Cemetery.
A native of Roanoke, he was educated at St.
Andrew's School and Jefferson High School. Joe
earned hi s degree at the Cincinnati College of
Mortuary Science. He later studied with Virginia
Western Community College, the University of
Virgi nia, and the Schoo l of Theology at the
University of the South in Tennessee. He also
served w it h the U. 5. Navy Hospital Corps.
Joe touched the lives of many through his lay
ministry at Christ Episcopal Chu rch, and his
membership in the Masons at Pleasants Lodge
#33, Murray Royal Arch Chapter, the Scottish
Rite, and the Kazim Shriners/ Provost Guard.
Joe is well remembered for his many yea rs as
a Licensed Funeral Director, and his 30 years of
service with the Virginia and City of Roanoke
Health Departments.
He is survived by his w ife, Kathryn Bell
Kennerly, two sons, their families and many
devoted relatives and friends.

Valentine's Day has S pecial
Significance for Fair View C e m e t e ry
February 14, 2005 will be the 115th
Anniversary of beautiful Fair View Cemetery. It was
on that date in 1890, when Roanoke was Big Lick,
that a group of leading citizens established Fair
View Cemetery.

for Increased Efficiency in 2004

Original Iron Fence Restored

Myrteen H eslep (top) a n&lt;l Licia Eppe rly arc sh own with
the n ew compurer syste m whic h provides t hree 1no re work
stations. Until 1994, a ll wo rk was done "by h a nd " . T h e
software was updated in 1999 to m ecr Yea r 2000
Regulatory Complia nce. This new syste m h a rdware
increases efficiency for the vira l fun c tio n s of record
keeping.

This 1919 photograph is among the favorites of those
wh o visit our "Walk Through History" Museum.
Over the years, great care has been taken to preserve
the unique iron fence facing the Salem Turnpike
entran ce to Fair View. During 2004, the fence was
sanded, primed and painted. The detail work was
difficult and tedious, but our ongoing commitment
continues to be to preserve, protect and enhance the
cemetery property for future generations.

Replacing Memorial Marker
Collars an Ongoing Challenge
From Spring to Fall each year, our maintenance staff
continues to replace concrete marker collars th at
have deteriorated over the years. Approximately 250
are scheduled for restoration in 2005 at a cost of
$9,000.

New Trees to Replace Those
Removed During 2004
Due to aging and deterioration, twelve hemlock and
white birch trees were removed this year. The trees
will be replaced with 20 new plantings of maple and
white birch. If you would like to contribute toward
the new trees, please contact our office at 344A263.

It may seem odd to think you'd ever find a fine East Coast Cabernet in a posh restaurant-but not if you're up on your history. After all, in 1619, America's first legislature, the House of
Burgesses, fmmed at Virginia's Jamestown Colony, required every male over 20 to plant at least
10 grape vines. That started America' s industrial wine production with a 200-year head start on
California. What' s really odd is that the east coast wines ever got so far behind.

Dear Friends,
Stephen C. Vest, Director of Botetourt County, Virginia Libraries, advised they have
successfully converted historical issues of the Fincastle Herald from micro-film to CD-Rom
format. Years covered are 1935-1945 and 1950-1968. They are now being processed for public
use at their three libraries, where they may be viewed and copied.
The Giles County Historical Society has conserved 250 local newsapers, ranging from
1859-2005. They have reorganized over 750 family files to improve accessibility and facilitate
genealogical research
October brings Family History Month and the Virginia Room wi ll present a full day of
celebration. Two very difficult research groups will be featured. Char McCargo Bah will speak
on African American research (see the article by Kristin Davis in this issue) and a speaker wi ll
instruct on Native American research. The date is OCTOBER !51••••••••• something for Eve1yone.
Society members will be available to answer questions and help beginners.
We are quite beautiful that time of year (Our mountains, this is) so plan on a trip to attend
and then spent a few days researching in the area.
NEEDED: At the next meeting we will ask for new faces and ideas to lead this society.
Don't be bashful. Say, hey I can take minutes at the meetings, or arrange for speakers. Or, by
golly, I know I could do a bang up job as editor of the VAN. What ever your talent.. YOU ARE
NEEDED!
The Virginia Room needs your (our) support! Election is in November.
Sincerely,

AA

�people come from all over the country to discover pre~ious informat1011 about the ir
family trees and history in the Virginia Room
by
. u
There's a small, quiet place in the city that
attracts visitors from all over and tempt s them
to stay for quite a while. It's the Virginia Room,
on the second floor of Roanoke's Main Library.
At the entrance is a map, ful l o f pins stuck into
nearly every state, plus a number of foreign
countries, marking the origins of people who
have journeyed to the Virginia Room in search
of treasure, personal and otherwise.
What treasure do they seek? Maps. Directories.
Census records. Regimental histories. Court
records that dish the dirt from a century ago.
And a full complement of librarians to help
them find what they are looking for.
Customer service is the top priority for Sheila
Umberger, acting director of Roanoke's Public
Libraries. "Since July [2004), we have made
real strides in attracting top librarians,"
doubling the Virginia Room staff, she says.
The Virginia Room is now open the same hours
as the Main Library, expanding its availability.
Heading the Virginia Room is newcomer
Laura S. Wickstead. As the new Virginia Room
librarian. she brings to the position an M.S. in
library science, work experie~ce in librarie~
nd a local historical society in Pennsylvania,
a d a successful track record in grant writing.
~hat sets her apart is her special training at
the National Archives in Washington, D.~.•
where she learned to preserve and repair
precious materials and photographs.

have different gifts. (No matter what the p~oiect,J
there's always someone who wi'll t ackle It"
·

And the projects are diverse. "Genea logy is
one of the top two or three hobbies in the
United States," says Umberger, "and we have
a renowned collection." The curious find the
Virginia Room through genealogica l guides,
online databases, and word-of-mouth referrals.
Individuals, couples, and sometimes entire
family reunions come t o do research. They can
also make copies of photos in the Virginia
Room's collections.
Authors use the resou rces, as do students
hoping to qualify for scholarships based on
ancestry. "There's always something new to
do," says Wickstead. " It's not about old stuff
and dead people, it's about the lives of the
people who come in."
Librarians choose new materials based on th e
needs of Virginia Room users. In addition to
owning every available Virginia census. librarians
have noted the migration trends of ea rly
Virginians and have pu rchased census indexes
for key Midwestern states to help people follow
their ancestors. Much material is donated
every year, and it's t he lib rarians' job to create
topical vertical files and "finding aids" to help
researchers navigate it all.

in particu lar stand o u t. The History Channel
recently featured one postcard out of the
2,400 in the Virginia Room's postcard collection.
The George Davis photography collection
includes 14,500 p h otos and glass plates
dating from 1904 to the 1960s. The images
include people , places, and "phenomenal
scenes of t he rail road," says U mberger.
The Virginia Room has one of the most complete
collections of books. articles, and documents
relating to the infa m ous Beale Treasu re, gold
supposedly buried in Bedford County. As in the
recent movie "National Treasure," elaborate
codes, only partially deciphered, purportedly tell
where the treasu re may be found . Numerous
books. articles. and documentaries by the BBC
and others have covered t he myst ery and, as a
resu lt, the li brary receives so many requ ests for
information that special packets have been
developed for treasure hunters. ~

A variety of programs is available in the
Virginia Room, including classes on how to
use a special online family history research
database to which the library subscribes.
A new microfilm reader/printer has a computer
attached to it so researchers can save or e-mail
what they find.
The Virginia Room got its sta rt in the 1960s,
acquiring rare and important materials relating
to Virginia history and families. Two collections

VIRGINIA-APPALACHIAN NOTES

�ON WRITING AND SPELLING

In a search through the census schedules, it is helpful to become familiar with a few
variants of spelling and letter formation. Until the turn of the century, spelling was phonetic,
words were spelled as they sounded. To obtain complete use of any index, it is important to
anticipate the different possibilities, then to use the index accordingly.
Each scribe had his own pecular style. Nevertheless, it is possible to form some
generali ties, the study of which will greatly improve the thoroughness of research. The following
guidelines are based on editorial conclusions from this 1800 census and should not be taken as
definitive statements on early penmanship.

German man finds out genealogist is a relative
April 24, 2005 1:08 am

By KRISTIN DAVIS
The plane landed three hours late.
But they were waiting for him, with smiles and cameras and four shiny
helium balloons.
At 57, Harald Stoelting was finally coming home, to a family he'd
never met.
Home, he'd learned over the years, wasn't just a place you lived. It was
~place that grounded you, a place where your toes dug into the soil
like roots and made you grow. Helped you thrive.

Tears form in Harald

James Yancey, a first cousin,

Church.

Harald never had that. But on a cool and rainy Saturday afternoon in
April, he was about to find it.
A!ter a dozen failed attempts to find his family and a weather-delayed
fligh~ from London to Washington, Harald walked into the embrace of
cousms.
Into bis history.
There were no tears. Only smiles and introductions and pictures.
~d then a scurrying to baggage claim

SQ they could get out of the
airp_ort and back to Stafford County where the journey would really
begm.

A man without a family
On Oct. 8, 1947, less than two years after the Nazis were defeated, a
young, unwed mother gave birth to a baby boy in war-weary Germany.
AnnaLisa Stoelting, unable to raise her child, turned baby Harald over
to foster care.

�I i.3
Years later, AnnaLisa would tell Harald this much about his birth
Harald Stoelting stands and c laps as he is
father: His name was James Clark. He was an African-American World Church
overcome bv the music at Spanish Grove Baptist
during a service he attended
War II veteran from Virginia, stationed briefly in Bremerhaven. During with his cous in CharMcCnrno Bah (center) and
the mid-1940s, he'd lived with a sister on Early Street in Lynchburg.

It was little to go on.
No one in the U.S., it turned out, knew Harald Stoelting existed.
At 15, Harald wrote to his dad: Dear Mr. Clark, I want you to know I
am your son.
He mailed the letter. No response came, but the envelope was never
returned.

first cousin James Yancev and third cousin

In 1980, Harald, by then a Gennan merchant marine, was stationed
briefly in Chesapeake. On a cold weekend in November, be hopped a
Greyhound bus to Lynchburg and found Early Street. For hours, he
asked every black person he saw if they knew James Clark

Solomon Perkins fright) during a visit to his
father's child hood home in Scottsburg.

N o one did.
Over the years, Harald would contact the U .S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the U. S. Army, the
Social Security Administration and the Federal Records Center.
But all responded the same way. Without a Social Security number, without a veteran's service number,
they couldn't help him.
In Germany, Harald had faced discrimination, as one of thousands of offspring of black American

servicemen and German mothers during World War II.
They were called "Brown Babies."
Harald's foster parents died before he turned 20. He never made inroads with his German family. There
was no one to call brother or aunt or cousin.
Harald married in 1980 and had two children.
Still, he felt alone, an orphan without footing.
"I was fl ying, " Harald explained, "and not steering."
In 1998 his marriage ended. He loved his wife, but he said he wasn't the husband he should've been.
In the aftermath, he backed off from his search .

"I decided to leave it for a couple of years. "
Last year, he was ready to try again. With the help of a friend, Harald discovered the Viro-inia
Genealogical Society's Web site. There, listed as an African-American genealogy resear;her, was a

�J

14Stafford County woman named Char McCargo Bah.
Maybe she would be his link.
Finding James Clark
His e-mail came on a late afternoon in mid-February 2004.
Char read his story and wondered if she should take on the case. So little information. And James Clark
was a common name. What if she couldn't find his family? And what if she found them, and they
wanted nothing to do with Harald?
"I didn't want to take him on and have him hurt again," she said.
In Chars more than 20 years of genealogical research, she'd seen it happen.

"Some are success stories," she said. "Some are not."
But Char was drawn to Harald. He shared her only daughter's Oct. 8 birthday. Both Harald and Char's
daughter are social workers.
Char had a great-uncle named James Clark, also a World War II veteran.
Wouldn't it be funny, she joked, if they were related?

o.n a Friday last March--her day off from a government job in Washi.ngton~-Char traveled to Richmond's
Library of Virginia and asked for the 1937 to 1940 Lynchburg city d1rectones.
Char found the rows of red, leather-bound books on the second floor, in the East Reading Room.
She flipped through the first three books. Pages of Clarks. Three James Clarks. None on Early Street.

~n to 19~0. There, on page 279, was a James Clark who lived at 801 Early St. A "C" by his name meant
colored. An "R" meant he rented.
Char ~as ~lmost certain she'd found Harald's father. On a whim, she decided to look for her great-aunt,
who hv~d m Lynchburg at the time.
Mary Clark Martin and her husband were on page 95 . They also lived at 801 Early Street.

Char screamed. Harald's father and Char's great-uncle were the same person.
That made them cousins. And that meant Harald at last would know his family.
'

'

Later, at home in Stafford, Char started calling Harald. On the third or fourth try, a sleepy voice
answered.
She hadn't realized it was 4 :30 a.m. in Germany. Char identified herself and told him the news.

�I

. _..,,

I {~
He began to cry.
The research came easily after Char made what genealogists call a "bit."
She got the numbers all those government agencies needed. For a year, she gathered pages and pages of
documents and records and a handful of photographs.
James Clark had one other child, a daughter, who died in her teens. He made a career out of the military
and worked as a cook, traveling all over the world. He married three times, and indeed, was stationed in
Bremerhaven in 1947.

In old age, he'd suffered from diabetes and arthritis. He died in 1987.
The stories would come later, from folks who remembered a funny and exotic and sometimes secretive
James Clark.
Now it was time for Char and Harald to meet.
Roots, at Iast
A week into Harald's visit to America, it was time to travel to Halifax County near the North Carolina
line and meet hls extended family .

If he'd ever wondered what faith he belonged to, Char told him, be could put that question to rest.
"When you get down to Halifax, you will be Baptist. 11
Harald, at last, was putting down roots. In just a week, he'd met Char's brother and sister, great-aunts and
-uncles and more cousins. A camera around his neck, he went to the Library of Virginia, where, in black
and white, he saw his father's Early Street address.
He'd visited the World War II Memorial in Washington. He toured Alexandria's Black History Museum
and the Civil War battlefield in Manassas.
Throughout Harald's life, he built an image of how be thought his father would be.
Harald connected with everything African-American. He read James Baldwin and Langston Hughes,
studied slavery and and the Civil War and black culture.
On April 10, he attended a four-hour church service at Spanish Grove Baptist Church in Scottsburg, the
place his father worshipped as a child and young man.
Ninety percent of the congregation was some close or distant relation to Harald. Those who'd Irnown
James Clark recognized his half-German son.
They were the same 5 feet, 6 inches tall. They shared white hair and a slightly receding hairline, the
mouth and hand gestures and way of looking off into the distance.
One remembered that, like Harald~ Jan1es Clark always canied a camera around his neck. He entertained
nieces and nephews with "war stories" about flying bombs and near misses in Germany, even though

�[ l (o
he'd been there after the war and worked as a cook.
James Clark played loud gospel music on Sundays, a former neighbor told them .

After church, where relatives embraced their newfound cousin or nephew as if he'd never been absent,
Harald went to his father's borne place.

The house was gone, but an old tobacco barn stiH stood.
He took a stone and a twig from the land.
Born again
The next day was warm and clear in South Boston, just south of Halifax. Harald and Char and Cha r's
husband, Mumini Bah, walked into Rosa Garden Cemetery.
Somewhere among the headstones and tiny metal funeral home plates lay James Clark.
They walked up and down rows of graves, looking for a plate hidden in the grass. Family members felt
certain there was no headstone.
Fifteen minutes into their search, though, a headstone caught Char's eye. She recognized the World War
II veteran engraving. Up close, she read the inscription.
James Clark, SP-5. January 10, 1900--May 7, 1987.
"At last, you are resting here," Harald thought. "We can communicate on a different level it is now
through our big family ."
Two days later, he laid a wreath on the grave. He plans to have a foot stone made on a return trip.
On Harald's flight back to his London home, he felt tranquil.

"I always needed crutches. I was walking with crutches. I think I can just put the crutches in the corner
now."
He carried a hundred new photographs and three pages of phone numbers and addresses for his "big,
huge, large, vast African-American family .
11

He felt excited about something else, his future.
While in Virginia, he reconnected with his ex-wife by phone. They'd talked for hours. Harald told her he
thought he was finally a grown-up, a man ready to be a real husband.
She wanted to see him. He wanted to see her.
"I am rooted. Now I choose the direction. I am rooted now.

�Roanoke Area Local History Reading List
A nnotated by John Lo11g, Salem Museum

''Where do I look fo r info on
? Is
a reliable source? Can you
recommend a book on _ _?" As director of the Salem Museum and the default local
historian for the town, I am frequently asked to help genealogists and researchers sort
through the resources available. Below is an annotated list of sources on the history of
the Roanoke area, which I prepared some time ago to guide the beginner in the right
direct ion. Naturally, the opinions expressed are mine alone.
E arly Histo11•:
• Kegley 's Virginia Frontier (1938). A definitive source on early settlement, now
available in a reprint.
+ William McCauley: Hist01y ofRoanoke County (1902). Authoritative source which
established the study of our local history. Difficult to find except as a non-circulating
reference book. Poorly indexed, but with interesting biographical sketches.
+ Egloff and Woodward: First People: The Early Indians of Virginia. Includes info on
the pre-history of the Roanoke Valley.
Roanoke County:
+ George Jack and E. B. Jacobs: H isto1y ofRoanoke County. Roanoke City, and the
N&amp;W Railway. (1912) Also has good biographical sketches and corporate histories.
+ Roanoke: Stmy of County and City. Prepared in the early 1940s by the WPA Writer's
Project. Use with care-many inaccuracies.
• Deedie Kagey: VVhen PasL is Prologue: A History ofRoanoke County. Very well
indexed, exhaustive in detail but too little analysis, not without a few errors. Great
bibliography, obsessively footnoted.
• Helen Prillaman: Places Near the Mountains and A Place Apart. Neighbor.hood
histories with interesting anecdotal and genealogical history. E&gt;..-pensive books for
what you get-try the library.
Roanoke City:
• Raymond.Barnes: Hist01y of the City of Roanoke. Entertaining but flawed book.
So~e passages racially insensitive; plenty of chronology but little analysis. If you
have a copy, get the separate index as well.
• Clare White: Roanoke 1740-1982. Wonderful short history, highly recorm11ended.
+ Carolyn Hall Bruce: Roanoke, Past and Present and Roanoke: A Pictorial Histor:1·.
Both interesting pictorial histories: short on text but rich in images.
Salem:
+ Norwood C. Middleton: Salem: A Virginia Chronicle. Wonderful book. one of the
best written local histories in Virginia. Well indexed but not footnoted.
+ John D. Long and Mary Hill: A Town by the Name of Salem: The Past in Pictures.
Shorter survey with more photos; not a substitute for Middleton.

·~IRGINlkAPPALACHIAN NOTES

�l1~
Long: South ofMain: A History ofthe Water Street Community ofSalem. VA .
History of Salem's main African American neighborhood.
+ Guide to Historic Salem. Periodical publis~1ed by the Salem Historical Society and
the Salem Times-Register, with a wide variety of topics. Text of m ost articles
available online through www.salemmuseum.org.
•

Botetourt:
+ R . D. Stoner: Seedbed ofthe Republic (early Botetourt). A good compendium of info
on Botetourt, which covered most of this part of the state.
• Frances Niederer: The Town ofFincastle, Virginia. Interesting survey with good
architectural information.
• The Botetourt Historical Society has published several other books and booklets on a
variety of subjects. Check their catalog or visit their giftshop at the museum.
Vinton:
• Irma Moseley and Mattie Forbes: Vinton History J 884-1984. Still available through
the Vinton Historical Society.

Biography and Special Topics:
• Patricia Givens Johnson: General Andrew Lewis ofRoanoke and Greenbrier. Not the
most readable book, but the only thing written on this important founding father.
• Patricia Givens Johnson: William Preston and the Alleghany Pioneers. Interesting
account of a prominent early settler. Johnson wrote several other books on the early
history of the New River Valley.
• Clare White: William Fleming: Patriot. Good book, but may not be accessible for
students.
• James Thom: Follow the River. Historical novel, but so engaging it may awaken an
interest in the early history of our area.
• Reginald Shareef: The Roanoke Valley's African American Fferitage. A pictorial
history; not much text or analysis.
+ Whitwell and Winborne: The Architectural Heritage ofthe Roanoke Valley. Very
interesting, but now dated. Still widely available and makes a good driving tour.
+ Roanoke Valley Historical Society: Roanoke County Graveyards through 1920.
Good genealogical source; makes a fun day exploring.
+ John Hildebrand: Iron Horses in the Valley. Early history of railroads in our area.
• James .1. R~bertson: Civil War Virginia. Little from our area, but an excellent
statewide history. All of Robertson's books are popular with good reason.
• Egloff ~d Woodward: First People: The Early Indians of Virginia. Includes info on
the pre-history of the Roanoke Valley.

Local Cemeteries reveal Salem's History
ByJOHNandCANDY LONG
Historic Salem
Thecemeteries of any com1mmity arc: always :1mong its most important cul!Ural le1wcies. In· the local
family. church. and community
cemeteries our history literally lies
burii.:cl at our feet. Ht:re we find our
pioneer ancestors. our forefathers,
and gene&lt;tlog ical clues that tell us
who we were and who WI! are.
In and around Salem. there are
dozens of cemeteries. Some are
obvious and well tended: far more
are forgonen, vandalized. or even
vanished. 111e listing below owes a
tremendous debt to tlm.&gt;e prior studies. During the Depression,, the
\VPA made suf\ley of ar~n cemeteries that was far from complete but
supplied viral data. ln the 1970s, the
Roanoke Valley Historical Society
(now the Historical Society of
Westcm Vu-ginin) begcu1 a project to
locme. record. and describe all of the
cemeteries in the Roanoke Valley.
There effo11s resulted in t11e 1986
book. "Roanoke County Gr.iveyards
through 1920." Finally, archaeologist Tom. Klalka of the Roanoke
Regiomtl Preservation Office in
2000 authored a major academic
study of area cemeteries en.titled,
"Cultural Expressions of Narure in
Sacred ConrexLs: Documentation of
Family and Communicy Cemeteries
in Roanoke Counlv, Viminia." At
607 pages, it can be co;;sidered as
exhaustive ..a source a&lt;; has ever or
likely will ever exisL Mosl of the
infom1ation below derives from
these lust two sources, and further
detail abolll most cemereries may be
found in Lhem.
We have concemrated on ceme1e1ies in the cun-ent city Iimirs, or
ones nearby in the county or
Roanoke City with families significant co Salem history. It should be
noted tha1 many of these cerneceries
are hard to find. on private property,
or vanished entirely. IL would be
advisable to keep !his in mind before
searching for some of rhe smaller
o nes. If you would like more precise
d irections to any graveyards-on the
list, please call the Salem Museum.
Other graveyards were certainly
missed. Anyone wich infom1arion

about local cemeteries ·.iot listed is
also encoumged to call the ·Salem
Museum.

recem marker gives the date of 1789

CUSTOM MAGNETS
A small company out of San Diego makes custom magnets of all sizes and will use your photos
or drawings. They've made several small orders for me, and I am satisfied with their qualit y.
price, and speed. You tell them what you have and what you want, and they send a quote. You
then make your decision. For me it's easier, and it's a better use of my time to order some
magnets than to make them myself. They also make bumper stickers, but l've never ordered one.

RE-HUMIDIFYING FAMILY TREASURES
Among the archives I inherited from my mother were her hjgh school and college diplomas,
which were rolled tightly with my father's diplomas. They were tied with a blue silk ribbon,
which disintegrated when I tried to untie it, and had to have been rolled up for more than sixty
years.
After conferring with several archivists, we decided that the paper had to be re-humidified so that
it would not crack when unrolled. (The college diplomas were on parchment, which created a
different problem!)
I took a large plastic under-the-bed storage box, put a glass baking dish at one end filled with
water, and placed the roll of certificates at the other end. Every day I unrolled a little more. In a
couple of weeks, they had absorbed enough moisture that they would lay flat, and are now
framed (with acid-free backing and UV glass, of course)
Since they both graduated from high school in 1920 and from college in 1924, these certificates
are precious to me.

How many Genealogists does it take to screw in a light bulb? Six!
One to travel to the factory to record the name and age of the bulb.
One to see if the line is still alive.
One to trace the line back to the pole.
Two to argue over the name of the original pole where the line started.
And one to screw in the bulb and write a detailed biographical account of the experience .

Dear Friends,
We did get an education on the workings and needs of libraries. In additi on to the
expected books and microfilms to augment collections, shelving and repair of a reader/printer
was requested. Projects included digitizing or microfilming of early newspapers, cemeteries and
photo collections. The purchase of archival quality materials to properly preserve or to
reorganize collections. And there were more ..... quite a challenge!
Be sure to read the published minutes of the March 22 special meeting of the Executive
Board to select recipients of grants. It was very difficult to schedule because the members who
are 'retired' are busy with volunteer work. Only two could not attend; Elaine had to work a nd
Fred was volunteering. I think we all feel very good about the success of the Grants Program and
hope you do!
The spring issue will be a little early to work around vacation plans of committee
members. The publishing committee expresses their appreciation to several members who have
contributed work, they have done or have found during research, to the VAN. The search for
articles is constant. Do you have research you would like to share? Please do, and do not forget
to cite your sources.
Remember, the summer issue will not have a Surname Index this year. Consider sending
a Query to locate others researching the same names. The committee has experienced an
increase of queries recently as members are reaching o.u t for help. Each member is allowed two
.
.
quenes per issue.
The program for the May 21 51 meeting will be presented by Circuit Judge Gino Williams
titled "Researching Floyd County".
Best regards,
Gene

Executive Board Minutes
Special Meeting
March 22, 2005

The meeting was called to order at l :00 P.M. in the Brody Room of the Roanoke City Main
Library. The purpose of the meeting was to select winners of the Grants to Libraries and
Historical Societies in ow· southwest Virginia area.
Present: Gene Swartzell, Babe Fowler, Mickey Prescott, Jim Nelson, Karen Kappesser, Don
Vaughan and Winfred Hart.
Absent: Elaine Powers and Fred Anderson
The response to the Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society's grant announcement was
extremely positive. We had many applications with requests coming from most of the counties
in southwest Virginia. The Society is both pleased and challenged by this response, the
challenge having been to select winners from among so many worthy and deserving projects.
Every member of the executive board was given a copy of each application ten days prior to the
meeting for their consideration. The projects and needs of the applicants were reviewed. Elaine
could not be present, but submitted her preferences.
A list of Award winners and their projects is attached.
The Award Letter by E laine Powers was approved: Awards will be mailed and letters of notification will also be sent to unsuccessful candidates.

NEWS RELEASE

The Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society and the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania
have reached an agreement to hold a state-wide genealogical conference in Pittsburgh on
September 29 and 30, 2006. This event, the first state-wide genealogical seminar held in th e
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, will undoubtedly draw considerable numbers of family
historians to Pittsburgh because Pennsylvania is a genealogicall y significant state. For three
centuries the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has been one of the most populous colonies or
states, so many family historians can track their ancestry back to Pennsylvania.
Program specifics will be announced later in 2005. Conference planners, John T . Humphrey and
Barbara Braden Guffey, have noted the program will feature presentations that will discu ss all
aspects of Pennsylvania research along with computer and Internet topics as well as not-to-be
missed methodology lectures.
Both societies have experience runnjng large conferences. In 1997 the Genealogical Society of
Pennsylvania hosted the NGS Conference held at Valley Forge, and in 2003 the Western
Pennsylvania Genealogical Society hosted NGS's Centennial Conference. Both confe rences were
among the most successful events NGS has held.
Society websites: www.wpgs.org and www.genpa.org.

�Early Landowners of Pennsylvania: Atlas of Township
Warrantee Maps of Washington County, Pa.
Ancestors Tracks (www.ancestortracks.com) has introduced the first of its county atlas series,
early Landowners of Pennsylvania: Atlas of Township warrantee Maps of Washington County,
Pa. Those township maps, which are on file at the PA Archives in Harrisburg, show the earli est
surveys of tracts in each township; names of the warrantee and patentee; dates of the warrant.
survey, and patent; and the patent book and page. What I found unique and so handy is that the
township warrantee maps, which are typically extremely large and hard to hand le, have been
reduced to page size for easy use and coordinates have been added to them. All the information
for each landowner has been detailed into easy-to-read tables for quick reference. Since each
tract has coordinates, you can locate the tracts of your ancestors and their relatives and neighbors
on the map easily. They have added copious footnotes from published county histories, as well
as an everyname index. You can see a sample page of their book at
http://ancestortracks.com/washblurb.html (click on "information found on this map"). There is
also a CD of the maps available, which makes it possible to zoom in for details.
This series will, for those of you with Western Pennsylvania ancestors:
*Pin your families to exact locations prior to the 1790 census.
*reveal family relationships you might not have realized. Relatives tended to li ve next to each
other in those times so tracts that are contiguous could indicate new family ties.
*Trace the progression of families and neighbors as they moved across Pennsylvania
*Locate wills, church records, deeds and orphan court records by showing which towns your
ancestors lived in
*Help plan a trip to the ]and of your ancestors, so you can walk where they walked and feel your
roots
*Give flesh to your ancestors by helping you find historical events in the county histories where
they lived
*Uncover the history of modem land tracts.
Copies of the Washington County Atlas &amp; CD are available from either Ancestor Tracks
(ancestortracks.com) or Closson Press (clossonpress.com) at a cost of $30: the CDs are $15. The
second volume, Early Landowners of Pennsylvania: Township Warrantee Maps of Fayette
County, PA., is being printed and will be released any day now. They have also published a book
detailing the Virginia land transfers entitled Early Landowners of Pennsylvania: Land Tracts
Transferred from Virginia to Pennsylvania 1779-1780 for $25 and a CD of Caldwell 'S Illustrated
Historical Atlas ofWashlngton County for $25. (Sent to us by Sharon Maclnnes, WPGS

FOREWORD
Hidden away along the by roods of Central
District lie the remains of the little schools where
generations of Bedford's citizens learned their three
R's. Well remembered by those who once walked
weary miles to school, the little buildings have now
felt the hand of progress. Like many of the beloved
things of old, there was no place for them in this
modern age. Hallowed in our thoughts, these old
remains stand as another example that "the old
order changeth". As Bedford enters her Third
Century, the school house of yore is replaced b y
the modern classroom and the familiar yellow
buses.

�Hon. P. F. St. Clair
Dead
Hon. P. F. St CJair, who was truly the leading citizen of Giles county~ died at his home at
Bane last Monday night at 11 o' clock.
Peyton Ferdinand St. Clair was born in Roanoke, August 15, 1860, and lived there until
he was about seventeen months old, when his father, Meadow St. Clair, moved to Pulaski
County. They lived there until 1868, when the family moved to the present home in
Giles county.
October 16, 1887, Mr. St. Clair married Laura May Cecil and there were five children
born to this union:

D. M. St. Stair
'N. C. St. Clair
Ardelia St. Clair
Ellen Elizabeth St. Clair
Nancy St. Clair now Mrs. Harris Hoge, Jr.

His father died September 5, 1889. His mother lived until February 16, 1907. His
brother G. William St. CJair, of West Virginia, died November 4, 1906, his brother John
St. Clair, died August 1906, and he left one brother Charles R. St. Clair, of Dublin, VA,
yet living.
Peyton St. Clair was a man of almost perfect health until last August when he had his first
ser~ous attack in Craig County, Virginia but from this he soon rallied and he attended his
entire extensive business until October. 1913.
He was a man of untiring energy, a kind and helpful neighbor at all times and was tender
and loving to his family.
From his earliest manhood, he showed a fondness for active politics, but he never was a
candidate for office until 1901, when he was nominated and elected as a Democrat from
hjs district to the senate of Virginia. Going into the legislature untried in that period of
transition from the old constitution to the new; his worth as a statesman was recognized
and he was placed on some of the most important committees of the senate, where he
soon showed his ability and was recognized as one of the strong men of that bo dy. He
was reelected in 1905, served two years and declined reelection.
He was about ten years chairman of the Ninth congressional district Democratic
conuuittee, but declined reelection at the Norfolk convention in 1912. He served six
years on the board of visitors of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and was again appointed
by Governor Stuart a few weeks ago.

�No man in Southwest Virginia exerted a stronger influence in his district, his county or
state than did Peyton St. Clair.
He owned a large and valuable farm in Giles County, and for years has dealt in cattle and
sheep, shipping many car loads each session. He was president of The First National
Bank of Pearisburg, was active in various business enterprises and almost invariabl y
successful in what he undertook.
As a tribute to the memory of Peyton F. St. Clair, a ll stores in Pearisburg and the four
banks in the county were closed when the funeral services were held Wednesday
afternoon.
He was buried Wednesday afternoon at Pleasant Hill Methodist Church at Bane by the

The Roanoke Times of Tuesday said of him:
"By the death of Peyton F. St. Clair, Virginia has lost a strong, active, valuable man. The
loss is felt with special force in this part of the State, where Mr. St. Clair's activities were
most immediately known and felt, but it will be realized by all everywhere who are
familiar without public men and affairs. He was a farmer and loved the soil and the work
and science of using it, but his energies sought outlet and use in other directions. He
was a high class businessman, shrewd, far sighted broad minded and filled with that
prolific pulse known as pure spirit. He liked politics for the sake of the game and that he
mig ht serve his State, his conununity, his party and friends. One ofthe most controlling
qualities of bis nature was loyalty. The person or cause winning his good will and
confidence won a friend who would not swerve nor falter. His promises were given from
his heart and were given to be kept. Conservative in his hopes he spared nothing of his
time, labor and means in the endeavor to do always more than he undertook. He was a
man who could be trusted always. There was no selfish pwpose in his work. His
ambitions were to do good and faithful service. In the darkest and apparently the most
hopeless days of bis party in his section his busy brain never ceased from contriving
plans for revitalizing it, he sanguine while others desponded, his courage never faltered
and he was stirring and potent among the leaders, tireless, resourceful, filled with the joy
and fire of battle.
He was a good and kindly neighbor, devoted, generous and tender with his family, a
leading citizen because he really led and used hls powerful influence to better the
condition of the people and for the promotion of all progress in right directions. Few
men in the State did more than he to promote the development of Virginia and sta.t1 and
urged the old Sate upon onward and upward course. In his personal relations with men
he was bluff, straightforward, outspoken, honest and convincing. He was trusted because
he deserved to be. He won friendships readily held them closely and when he gave
friendship he gave it heartily and faithfully. He was honest, true, clean and brave
Not much better than that can be said for any man. For him it may be added that he
used his strength and was useful because his instinct was to be so and he had the clear
head to know how.
We have lost a good strong man who was real man. All we can do is to mourn him. to
emula~e his good work as we can and to keep his memory in high honor among the
worthiest of Virginia's sons and the foremost of the human forces that have given her
new life and hope and power."

Note: Mr. St. Clair died at 11 P. M ., Monday, 7 August 1914

Newspaper Obituary

Sudden Death of Dr. J.B. Garla nd
Dr. J.B. Garland, the well known dentist, died suddenly while sitting in his chair at his
home on Main Street, while conversing with Capt. R.H. Alexander, about 1 o'clock a. m.
yesterday. The Doctor had been complaining d~~g the da~ of ~n asthm~tic affect ion
and pain in the chest, and Capt. Al~xander ~as s1~tlng up :v1th him. showing his
neighborly attention and endeavonng to reheve his su~ermgs. He had been on the street
conversing with friends as late as 9:30 p. m. Monday night. Dr. Garland was a nat ive of
Richmond County, and was in the 74th year of his age. He was related to the Garlands
and LyelJs of that county. He was an accomplished dentist and a c ult ivated man. His
eccentricities of opinion prevented in many cases that intimacy of association for which
he was well fitted, but his pure and upright life, gentle man ly demeanor and kindness 0 f
heart made him respected by all.
Dr. Garland is the last survivor of the small band who voted against the ordinance of
secesstion in 1861. He was a most determinded and determined and intrepid man, always
ready, with an intelligent reason for his own opinions: and at the same time. never
disposed to urge them offensively before others.

This is a 'where to find it' source, not a 'how to ' . The Table of Contents provides the

Chapter 2 speaks of Types of Records, Chapter 3 - Record Locations, and Chapter 4 takes
us through Research procedure &amp; County Listings. Two illustrations locate rivers and
counties.
A brief look at Court Records directed attention to a resource at the Library of Virginia

A SHA WSVlLLE HOME, ca. I 750

DAVE HUTCHESON/STAFF

The Pappas home in Shawsville is about 250 years old, and was formerly a tavern and
lodging place, whose guests may have included George Washington, frontiersman Daniel Boone,
and the explorers, Lewis and Clark.
Much of the house bas been altered, but it is undergoing restoration. The floors, believed
to date to the time the house was built, are made of chestnut. Some of the boards in the walls
measure 12 to 18 inches wide. One board is 21 inches wide.
Karen Pappas, the owner, says the house was probably owned by the same family for the
first 100 years.

Dear Friends,
Susan Hays, library cataloguer and a member of our society, presented a wonderf-t.il
program on writing your family history for the first meeting of the year. And then declined an
honorarium. Thank you, Susan.
Carol Tuckwiller was there and I persuaded visiting Laura Wickstead to say a few words.
She advised that beginning February 1si, the Virginia Room will be open the same hours as the
rest of the Library---and---patrons will also welcome the return of Pam Young! A great way to
begin 2005!
Ms. Wickstead will present the March program; 'The Virginia Room Effect: lnside the
Library and Outside in the Community'. This will cover what's new, projects and initiatives in
the Virginia Room. Finding aids are being developed to assist researchers. Collaborating with
community organizations creating programs, etc. Do make every effort to attend.
That meeting wil1 be held at Hollins Library, so we can avoid sound and parking
problems due to the St. Patricks' Day Parade on Jefferson Street. Not the Hollins University, but
the Hollins Branch of Roanoke County Libraries .. Plenty of parking and a very ni_c e room.
Jim Nelson reported receiving generous donations from members along with pa~ent of
dues. Thank you! This, along with the larger than usual attendance at the January meetmg has
given hope for some fresh ideas and new leadership in our future. . .
. .
Historically, the Society has made the Virginia Room the ~eci_pient of the ma1onty of the
donations made. Many of the small libraries and historical societies m ~ur area of coverage are
in need of help due to the loss of funding. The Executive Board has designed a ?rants Program
to extend our support to them. A copy of the letter sent announcing the opportunity appears in
this issue.

Joy to you all,

DAR President General Presley Merrit t Wagone r
Welcome Remarks
Marian Anderson Commemorative Stamp Dedication Cere m o ny
Ja n ua ry 27, 2005
WASHINGTON, D.C. - I am truly honored to be here today representing the
National Society Daughters of the American Revolution on this historic occasion
which commemorates in a most visible manner the life of such an extraordinary and
inspirational woman. On behalf of the 170,000 DAR members across the country
and worldwide, it is my pleasure to welcome you to DAR National Headq uarters for
the dedication ceremony of the Marian Anderson commemorative stamp. In
particular, I want to thank the United States Postal Service and Ms. Anderson's
family for inviting the DAR to participate with them in this special recognition.
It is most fitting that we gather in Memorial Continental Hall at Constitution Hall,
the place which historically represents a sad chapter in our country's history and in
the history of DAR. We deeply regret that Marian Anderson was not given the
opportunity to perform her 1939 Easter concert in Constitution Ha ll but recognize
that in the positive sense the event was a pivotal point in the struggle for racial
equality.
Ms. Anderson's legendary concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial will always
be remembered as a milestone in the Civil Rights movement. The beauty of her
voice, amplified by her courage and grace, brought attention to the eloquence of
the many voices urging our nation to overcome prejudice and intolerance. It
sparked change not only in America but also in the DAR.
I stand before you today wishing that history could be re-written, knowing that it
can not, and assuring you that DAR has learned from the past.
DAR was proud to welcome Marian Anderson to Constitution Hall on a number of
occasions soon after 1939, including a benefit concert for war relief in 1942. It is
also meaningfu l to us that this notable American chose Constitution Ha ll as the
place where she would launch her farewell American tour in 1964.
And today, the DAR is especially honored to be able to participate in the celebration
of Marian Anderson's legacy with the issuance of this new commemorative stamp.
We are very happy to welcome the Deputy Postmaster General John Nolan , the
members of Ms . Anderson's fami ly, and all of the other distinguished guests w ith us
today for this special occasion.
On this day we celebrate the life, the talent and the legacy of Marian Anderson .
America is a better place because of her dreams and her sacrifices. As a nation , we
can be grateful that she opened so many doors for all those who follow; and , as an
organization, the DAR is genuinely pleased to pay tribute to her memory.

'VIRGINIA-APPALACHIAN NOTES

�HISTORY OF THE BEDFORD PUBLIC
SCHOOL
Before the days of public education, Liberty (now
Bedford) was fortunate in having good private schools,
some of them established cs early as 1806. Piedmont
Academy (later Piedmont Institute) was opened in 1850
in the building which was for many years the home of
D r. W. L. Lyle. In 1861 Miss Mory Aunspough conducted
a school for small children c t her home on East Main
Street, in the building which was the residence of the
late W. N. Stone. But for originality and longevity the
A. B. C. School of Miss Nancy Thomas (1850-1870) stands
pre-eminent.
At the time the Liberty Graded School was established,
public education was in its infancy in the South. One
session under the new regime had been tau ght in the

by Mr. and Mrs. S. l. Dunton for o boarding and day
school for girls. There was one long basement room
where Mrs. Dunton, assisted by Miss Foster, had charge
of the Primary Deportment. Above were two lo ng narrow
rooms where the principal, assisted by Miss Sale, taught
the higher grades. These two rooms hod been for m ed
by removing partitions between adjoining bedrooms,
and were fully three times cs long as wide.
There could not have been two more uncomfortable
or ill-adopted rooms for teaching, yet, notwithstanding
this fact, the school prospered. The few teachers, doing
double duty and lacking the proper apparatus and
equipment, gave bountifully of their hearts end mind s
to the urge of education. Many of the boys and girls

town by Mrs. S. l. Dunton and Miss Geils Thomas. But
Liberty was, as Bedford hos si nce ever been, not will ing
to be left behind in any forward movement for the good
of her citizens, and so, in 1872, it was decided to
establish a graded school for the ed1:1cation of her
children. Three prominent men were chosen as Trustees:
Col. Wm. Groves, Dr. C. A. Board and Dr. John W. Sole.
These trustees selected Mr. J. R. Guy as principal, and
Mrs. S. L. Dunton, Miss Virginia Sale end Miss Nannie
Foster (the late Mrs. J. R. Guy).
The building, secured cs the home for the new school,
stood on the lot now used cs a park between the Bridge
Theatre end the Norfolk and Western bridge. It was
originally o residence but had been used many years

educated under these trying circumstances, became good
and useful citizens. They, along w ith their descendents,
have been prominent in the affairs of the town up to
the present day.
In the year 1875 a new school building was erected
by the town in the center of the lot, running through
from Longwood Avenue to Lee Street, which has since
been cut in two, and upon which are now the residences
of Mrs. F. VonRoy and Mr. John Pugh. Th e two entrances
to this building, one from each street, opened into a
large hall which separated the two class room s on the
first floor. By the use of folding doors between these
rooms and the hall, the entire lower floor could be
thrown into a commodious auditorium. On the second
floor were three large class rooms and coat rooms. The

building was considered adequate in every respect for
school purposes and quite an ornament to the town.
In a few years, however, the increase in enro llment
was so great that the hall had to be converted into a
class room, thus destroying the orig ina l pion of the
structure. This s ufficed for a few more years, but the
continued growth of the school made it necessary to
make a further addition, and this was done by erecting
a two-room one-story bu ild ing just west of the original
building , with a narrow alley b e tween . To quote Mr.
Guy, " This is the conglomeration whi ch the present
handsome and commodious (g raded) school building
displaced"
It was in 1901, in this old building, that the high
school course was included in the curricula of the school.
The first graduating exercises were h eld in 1906, when
dip lomas we re received by Misses Florence Saunder:,
Bessie Coppedge, Ella Cauthorn, Mory Meade, Hallie
McCormick, and Verna Knauss. Miss Sounders hod
f ini shed the course of 5'udy the year before, and was
really t he first graduate of the Bedford High School, b ut
as there was on ly one, no graduation exercises were
h el d , and she received her diploma with the class of
1906.
Among those who taught in this building, whose
efficient work and wholesome influence are still cherish e d by their pupils are: Miss Charlotte Sale, the be·
loved te acher of the Primary Deportment; Miss Mary
Freddie Stone, Miss Annis Aun spaugh, Miss Al ice Board,
M iss Junia A. Graves, and Mrs. S. C. Graves.
In 1913 the entire school moved into t he building
now occupi e d by the Bedford Graded School, with Mr.
Guy still its efficient principal, a position which he held
until 1915, thus rounding out forty-three years as Bedford's foremost educator. (From 1890 to 1896 he was
Principal of Belmont Seminary, but still teaching the
child_ren of Bedford.) When this building was designed

it was thought to be s ufficient for the needs of the school
for many years to come, a nd additions had been made
to the staff of teachers until the faculty now n umbered
ten- three in the high school and seven in the grades.
But soon the World War come on and , with it a startling
revelation of illiteracy in Virginia, as shown b y the
Selective Draft. This, with compul sory education and the
improvement of roods, gave a mighty impulse to education, and, almost overnight, the Public School o f
Bedford was full to overflowing from both town and
country.
By 1919 conditions hod b ecome so con~$~ed that it
was ev ident thot not hing but a new building would
relieve them, and, in 1920, the Belmont property, adjoining the school, was acqu'.red for th~ purpose . of
erecting a higlT school building upon 1t. Imperative
demands upon the treasury of the town for lights,
water and street improvements del a yed the erection of
this building until 1928, and severa l of the rooms in
the old Belmont building were fitted up as class rooms
and used for seven yea rs. Valuable additions to the
equipment of the school during these years were the
Library and Lunch Room.
Among the teachers who have rendered long, faithful
and efficient service in this building may b e mentioned:
Miss Belle Buford, Miss Mamie H61wkins, Miss Florence
Saunders (now Mrs. Fronk Joh nson), Miss Bessie Coppedge, and Miss Nelle Fitzpatrick (now Mrs. H. B.
Jordon). Mr. J. L. Bordon was elected Principal in 1917
and still holds that position.
The new bu ilding, conpleted in 1928, was occupied
by the Bedford High School in September of that yea r
enroll ment of three hundred and sixty-one pupils and
and ten teachers in the faculty. The Graded School was
left in full possession of the former building w ith onenrollment of three hundred and sixt-one pupils and
ten teach ers.

ADDING IMAGES TO OBITS
I have a love of old obituaries and the unbelievable stories they sometimes tell. I have been
putting a picture of that person with the obituary when possible. If I do not have a picture of said
person, but have a picture of his tombstone or a personal item (such as a teapot from a greatgrand~other that may have been brought over from another country) , I use that instead. It
m~kes it even more interesting for family members to see what you have collected, and
brings you a little closer to your ancestor.

13AZ LE CASTLE
~eel-by GeA'\.e.ISWCU"t~

The Jacob Castle, sr. family of Russell County, Virginia has many legends and traditions
with a lot of speculation and no way to prove what is true. The affadavit given by Bazle Castle
when he applied for a pension for Revolutionary War Service provides the name of two sons;
Bazle and Jacob, jr. Bazle's Final Payment file provides his date of death, that his wife was
deceased and that he had an only son, John, his only survivor.
So we learned early in 2001, my husband's ancestor, Zedekiah, 'Zader', who died
December 27, 1851, is not the son ofBazle. We now say son of Jacob, jr., but we have n o real
proof.
It was necessary to transcribe the following from reproductions by National Archives-backgrounds are dark and they are on 11 Y2 x 13 paper. They are easy to read. These files were
located in National Archives, Washington, C. C., Record Group 217, Records of the Accounting

The Year 1904
The year is 1904 one hundred years ago. What a difference a century makes! Here are some of the U .S.
statistics for 1904:
The average life expectancy in the U.S. was 47 years.
Only 14 percent of the homes in the U.S. had a bathtub.
Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.
A three-minute call from Denver to New York City cost eleven dollars.
There were only 8,000 cars in the U.S., and only 144 miles of paved roads.
The maximum speed limit in most cities was 1O mph.
Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California. With a
mere 1.4 million residents, California was only the 21st most populous state in the Union.
The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower.
The average wage in the U.S. was 22 cents an hour.
The average U.S. worker made between $200 and $400 per year.
A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, a dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian
between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.
More than 95 percent of all births in the U.S. took place at home.
Ninety percent of all U.S. physicians had no college education. Instead, they attended medical schools,
many of which were condemned in the press and by the government as "substandard."
Sugar cost four cents a pound. Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.
Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.
Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used borax or egg yolks for shampoo.
Canada passed a law prohibiting poor people from entering the country for any reason.
The five leading causes of death in the U.S. were:
1. Pneumonia and influenza
2. Tuberculosis
3. Diarrhea
4. Heart disease
5. Stroke

The :American flag had 45 stars. Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska hadn't been
admitted to the Union yet.
The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was 30.

VIRGINIA.APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been invented.
There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day.
Two of 10 U.S. adults couldn't read or write. Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated high school.
Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at comer drugstores. According to
one pharmacist, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and
bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health."
Eighteen percent of households in the U.S. had at least one full-time servant or domestic.
There were only about 230 reported murders in the entire U.S.
And I forwarded this from someone else without typing it myself, and sent it to you in a matter of
seconds! Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years ... it staggers the mind.

Members will be given priority in publishing these notices.

MATERIAL FOR PUBLICATION: We welcome articles, records, etc. for publications.
The material when received may not be used in following issue, but in a future issue. \f a \arge
amount of material is sent, it may take a while to publish because we try to have a variety of
material in each issue. ('1) READY FOR PUBLICATION (which the editor loves). Please type
using a carbon ribbon or dark ribbon and CLEAN KEYS. Use 8 1/2" x 11" paper, single space , with
a minimum margin on ALL sides of 1 inch. Center your title. Be sure to include your name,
address, and date (year) on the document. If not typed for publication, please PRINT PLAf NLY some articles that have been.hand written we have not been able to read, or those t hat are typed
with all caps are difficult to read. PLEASE read material over before mailing and double check a ll
dates. (2) GIVE SOURCE OF MATERIAL. Original documents - where found, type of record,
page number, etc., or, if known, who now has the document in their possession. We CANNOT
PRINT material from printed sources unless we have written permission from the publisher, which
you MUST FURNISH. We must have source of material to give credit to the person who has done
the work. (3) DEADLINE for submitting material should be at least two months before date of
publication. (4) PLEASE do not send material that you want returned - send a photocopy to us
instead. That way it won't get lost, as letters do get misplaced, when passed from one person to
another.

(location at time of date), Date (birth, death, marriage, or where living at the date
given). 'WASKEY, William Christopher - Montgomery Co, VA - 1900-1 O death" If this

A magistrate, who unfortunately, could neither read nor write, being
handed a warrant to read, very sagaciously put on his spectacles, but
unluckily turned the warrant wrong end uppermost. A person who stood
near him, more busy than wise, observed that the warrant was turned the
wrong way for readlng .--"Sir, " said the magistrate, "I wou ld have you to
know, that, by virtue of my commission, I ma y read with wh ich end I

Dear Friends,
I am very pleased to tell you the search is over for a Librarian II for the Virginia Room after
more than year and a new staff member has been added. Be sure to read Pam Young's article about
Ms Wickstead and Ms. Sell in this issue. We are delighted to have them. Sadly, Pam has transferred
to the Reference department to have full time employment
Karen Kappesser has worn many 'hats', as she calls it, since joining this society. She has
retired as president, but continues to do the flyers posted around town. She and I put the VAN
together with help from others at different times. She still is involved in projects (note plural) we
hope to complete in the near future. Of course, as past president, she is still a member of the
executive board.
Mary "Mickey'' Prescott continues to quietly go about the business of corresponding
secretary. She is devoted to that service and we see her in the Virginia Room as she searches for
answers for members looking for help.
Thank you very much, Karen and Mickey. You are appreciated! ! !

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�In Step with the Virginia Room
By Pam Young

The Virginia Room has recently added two new staff members. The first
is Laura Wickstead who hail s to us most recently from the Crawford
County Pennsylvania Historical Society where she was the Executive
Director and Librarian/ Archivist. Ms . Wickstead obtained her Master of
Library Science degree at Clarion University of Pennsylvania and she is a
graduate of the Modern Achieves Institute at the National Archives and
Records Administration in Washington, DC. She spe nt her formative
years in Richmond, Virginia. In her spare time she is a knitter and a
handspinner.
Acting Director of Librari es Sheila Umberger feels that 'The public Library
is fortunate to have someone with Laura's background and experience to
facilitate library services and programs within the Virginia Room. Ms
Wickstead's previous experiences will certainly be an asset as she works
with library staff to meet the needs of local history and genealogical
researchers who visit us from all over the country."
Laura enjoys her work because it connects people with their own history,
which is not about the past, it's about the present and effects people
lives in a meaningful way. She is looking forward to meeting all the
member of the SVGS . Please feel free to contact her by email
Laura Wickstead@ci.roanoke.va.us or by phone 853-2073. The Virginia
Room hours are 9-6 Mon, Tues, Thur, Fri &amp; 10-6 Weds &amp; Sat 9-5.
The second is Alicia Sell who also hails from Pennsylvania. Ms Sell 's
husband's family has lived in Vinton for several generations. She has a
BA is History with a minor in English from Messiah College in
Pennsylvania. Ms Sell prior to joining the public library staff, cor:ipleted
an internship at the Pennsylvania House of Representatives Archives and
Records in 2002.
Please come by, introduce yourself and see what else is new at the
Virginia Room . We 're history in the making!

�Hans Jacob Koger
Who Were His Sons?
By Barbara Cogar Irwin
For many years there has been a dispute concerning the sons of Hans Jacob Koger
and his wife Lucinda Crum. Some family genealogists have said Jacob fathered six son~s:
Michael, Henry, Jo~ Jacob, Peter and Nicholas. Others have recognjzed Henry. John
and Nicholas but do not accept Michael, Jacob, or Peter as his sons.
The purpose of this paper is to learn more about the life of Hans Jacob and to
identify his sons. For this reason a search has been made in the court records of the five
Virginia counties where he resided, first Orange County, fo llowed in succession by
Augusta, Halifax, Pittsylvania and Henry Counties. Special attention has been given to
the court order books of these five counties.
County court order books contain records of the proceedings held each day. They
are brief and hand written by the county clerk. They record the date and names of the
presiding justices for the day. Included in the many entries are appointments to county
offices, permission to build gristmills or operate ordinaries, and the names of those
ordered to survey, clear and maintain county roads. The latter was the duty of all tithabl e
males over the age of sixteen years with exceptions for age, infirmity and for some
appointed county officers. Juries were selected and witnesses paid for testifying at trials.
Minors and orphans were bound out by the Church wardens. Deeds were acknowledged
and ordered recorded in the county deed books. Wills and the administration and
appraisals of estates were acknowledged and ordered recorded in the county will books.
Vendues (the sale of estate properties) were also ordered recorded in the county will
books. Officers were appointed for the county militia and claims were paid to the county
inhabitants for the supplies they had either given or surrendered to support the
Revolutionary War.
Each year a county levy was recorded with payments for salaries, costs of
building or maintaining county buildings, care or transportation of prisoners by the
sheriff, bounty for old wolves beads, and sundry others. The total was tallied and the
number of tithabJes recorded.
Although these records contain little genealogical information, they do
provide a picture of life in the county at that time. They can often record the activities of
an ancestor that might otherwise be lost to history. A search of these records requires
long hours. They are seldom indexed and then not adequately. Some pages are damaged
and difficult to read; fortunately few are missing. The penmanship is not always of the
best quality.
This account of Hans Jacob Koger and his brother Nicholas begins in the German
Palatine, the fertile area lying along the Rhine River. After one hundred years of war,
beginning with the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) and culminating with the War of

VIRGINIA.APPALACHIAN OOTES

�Spanfah Succession (1707-1713), the region lay devastated by the English and French
Armies. Fields were laid waste, towns and villages pillaged and destroyed. Adding to
these hardships were the religious persecutions following the Edict of Nantes in 1685. So
when an agent of William Penn arrived following the unusually severe winter of 1708-09,
the impoverished Germans were receptive to his account of the civil liberties and
religious freedoms offered to them in Penn's Colony in the New World.
By June of 1709 the first group of German emigrants had arrived in London,
ready to embark on the long voyage across the ocean to a new land and a new life. 1 By
1732, so many emigrants had arrived in Pennsylvania that the Philadelphia resident
Caspar W istar wrote:
Some years ago this was a very fruitful country, and, like all new
countries, but sparsely inhabited. Since the wilderness required much
labor, and the inhabitants were few, ships that arrived with German
emigrants were cordially welcomed. TI1ey were immediately discharged,
and by their labor very easily earned enough to buy some land.
Pennsylvania is but a small part of America, and has been open now for
some years, so that not only many thousand Gem1ans, but English and
Irish have settled there, and filled all part of the country; so that all who
now seek land must go far into the wilderness, and purchase it at a higher
price.2
That same year on October 17 two young German emigrants, Hans Jacob Koger
(hereinafter referred to as Jacob) and his brother Nicholas Koger, 3 arrived at the Port of
Philadelphia on the ship Pink, John and William.4 They remained in Pennsylvania for
several years where Nicholas married Elizabeth Wilheut in York County on 15 Aug
5
1735. No record of marriage for Jacob has been found, but descendants claim that he
married Lucinda Crum in ] 73 7 before leaving the state. In time both followed the Great
Warriors' Path that led from Philadelphia south to Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas
where cheaper land was readily available.
Jacob arrived in Orange County, Virginia sometime before June 1740 for on the
26th of that month "Jacob Coger of the Parish of St. Mark in Orange County" paid 17
pounds Pennsylvania money to Jacob Castle for 75 acres ofland on the Shenandoah
River at the Hawks bill Run. 6 It is not known when Nicholas arrived, possibly the
following year because Jacob Weller and his wife, Orange County residents, were
sponsors at the baptism of his son John Jacob Koger on 27 Sep 1741. 7 Descendants say
that Indians attacked and killed Nicholas in 1743 while he was building a house; he died
without leaving a will in August of that year.

Michael, John Jacob and Anna Catherine, 8 " •.• Relinquished her Right of administration

cruldren, having married Maria Barbara Wilheut the sister of the widow El izabeth. The
identity of William Carpenter is not known; some claim he was the husband of Maria Eva
Wilheut, another sister of Elizabeth. 10
A month after the death of Nicholas, Jacob sold the 75 acre tract he had purchased
from Jacob Castle to John Megert for 35 pounds and purchased 800 acres, part of a 2000
acre patent on the east side of the Shenandoah River, from Richard Maudlin for I 50
pounds. 11 There must have been some question concerning the property rights of the
children of Nicholas Coger, for on that same day Jacob was ordered

to appear at the next Court to answer such matters as by the said Court
shall be objected of him with respect to a Certain Fraud Suggested to be
committed by him against the Orphans of Nicholas Coger, Deced(deceased) Who
are ordered to be brought by the Sd(said) Coger to the next Court. 12
It should be noted here that the term orphan in the colonial period did not necessarily
imply the death of the mother. Elizabeth survived her husband but the time or place of
her death is not known.
Whatever the problem was concerning the fraud, it must have been settled
privately for no further action was taken in court. The following month on 25 Nov I 743
Jacob returned the appraisement of Nicholas Coger's estate and the court ordered it to be
admitted to record 13 • There are no further records concerning Nichol as. E lizabeth and
their five children in the Orange County Order Books until 24 May 1753 when Jacob
returned an accounting of the estate ofNicholas and a bond was acknowledged for the
benefit of the children. 14
On May 1744 Jacob brought a suit for debt against John Bumgardner; this suit
was agreed upon and dismissed the foJlowing year. 15 Later the same year, the area of
Orange County known as Augusta was surveyed and established as a separate county
known as Augusta County. For the next several years Jacob was a resident of the new
county.
Jacob first appears in the Augusta County Court Order Books on 2 1 Aug 1746
when Jolm Ennis brought suit against him for trespass. The suit was continued until the
following September when it was dismissed. However, five months later Ennis sued
Jacob for debt. Jacob pleaded not guilty and on 23 May 1747 the jury brought in their
verdict: "We find for the defendant, James Carter foreman." Jacob recovered his costs
expended for his defense. Adam Miller and his wife Barbara were paid 200 pounds of
tobacco by Jacob for attending court for four days to give evidence for Jacob as the law
required. John Bumgardner was paid 50 pounds of tobacco for two days to give evidence
for Jacob. 16
The following year Jacob was appointed overseer of the road in place of Adam
Miller. It was his responsibility along with all the male tithabJes along the road to keep it

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN OOTES

�cleared and in good repair. At the end of the year he was discharged and Henry Long was
appointed in his place. 17
Once again John Ennis brought suit against Jacob; this suit was dismissed on the
plaintiffs motion. A year later Ennis again sued Jacob. It seems the costs of the suit of
1747 had not been paid and it was suspended until those costs were recovered. The debt
18
must have been settled for there were no further suits between John Ennis and Jacob.
Six months later, Jacob found himself in breach of the strict Sabbath laws of the
Colony, an event that has been reported in Augusta County histories. On 28 Nov 1750 a
Grand Jury convened and made several presentments to the Court for breaches of the
Sabbath and other offences. T he first presentment was to
Jacob Coger for a breach of the Law by Driving Hoggs over the blue
Ridge on the Sabbath day within these two months last past by the
Information of Henry Downs. 19
It has been suggested that perhaps Jacob did not have an almanac, but perhaps as
a good farmer he was more concerned about rounding up his hogs than keeping
the Sabbath. It was customary for German fanners to let their hogs run loose in
the woods where they could feed on acorns and roots. Then in the late fall they
would then be rounded up for "hog killing day" in December when neighbors
20
gathered together "to kill, clean and butcher their porkers for the winter ahead. "
The following May he was ordered by the court to
pay to the Wardens of Augusta parish where the offense was
Committed for the use of the Poor of the said Parish five shillings
Current money and that he pay Costs. 21
Two years later (20 May 1752) John Harmon was discharged as constable
and ordered to summon Jacob to the County court to be sworn in as his
rep la cement. 22
On 14 Feb 1753 a survey was made for Jacob for 930 acres of land on the
.
" Shenando River". 530 acres of the tract were part of a 2000 grant to Richard Maudlm
that had been sold to Jacob by Maudlin. The remaining 400 acres " he took up by survey."
Two months later on 24 Apr 1753 Jacob was granted a patent to the 930 acres for the sum
of forty shillings. By the tem1s of the patent Jacob was to pay a rent fee of one shilling
yearly for every 50 acres of land and he was to cultivate and improve a part of every 50
acres within the year except for that which had been improved according to the former
patent. If the payments should fall in arrears or be unpaid within a period of ~ee years or
the land not cultivated as required by the terms of the patent then the land and its
appurtenances would be granted to other person or persons. 23

�/SO
Two months later Adam Miller brought suit against Jacob. The problem mus t
have been settled privately between the two men for as neither appeared in court the suit
was dismissed. 24
Jacob made one last trip to Orange County, for on the 24 1h of May 1753 he
returned an account of the estate of his deceased brother Nicholas to the county court.
The widow Elizabeth Coger received 20 pounds and 5 pence as her part of the estate after
which all debts against the estate were paid. Jacob claimed expenses for traveling twice
to Pennsylvania to collect a bond and to sundry visits to the Orange County Court but no
amount was given for those expenses. The account notes that one Henry Thomas was
paid in "pensilvanie Money". 2
On the same day Jacob sold 465 acres of the new patent of 930 acres on the
Shenandoah River to Thomas McCredie, a merchant of Fredericksburg. McCredie,
George Frazier and Jeremiah Morton in turn put up a bond for 119 pounds, 14 sh iI Ii ngs
and 6 pence to the children of Nicholas Coger. If a payment of 59 pounds, 12 pence and 3
shillings were made "on or before the first day of June next ensueing" the above
obligation would be void otherwise remain in full force. Jacob retained the remainder of
the 930 acres in his own name. 26
On 19 November 1755 Adam Miller was appointed guardian of his nephew
27
Michael Coger. William Owlor and Henry Miller were his securities on the bond.
It appears that Jacob and his family left The Valley of Virginia sometime after
completing his duties as administrator of his brother's estate to establish a new home in
Halifax Co., VA. There on 23 April 1754 Jacob had surveys made for two tracts of land
on both sides of Stone' s Creek, 118 and 285 acres respectively. A third tract of 94 acres
on Mayo River was surveyed the following day.28 Patents for the three tracts were
granted to Jacob on 16 March 1771. A patent to 117 acres on Stones Creek was granted
to Jacob on 2 Dec 1785 (three years after his death). Another patent was granted on
23 Jul 1787 for 257 acres surveyed on 25 Oct 1755 on Stones Creek beginning at Cogar
corner. In all, Jacob acquired 861 acres of land by patent.29

The following years were difficult for Jacob. In addition to clearing fields and
making improvements on his newly acquired land, he was twice involved in suits. A suit
he brought against William Murphy was dismissed when Jacob did not continue the
31
prosecution. The following year at the March court of 1758 Hampton, Wade, and
William Stokes brought suit against him; an agreement was reached and the suit
dismissed. But Jacob was to pay the plaintiffs "their Costs by them in their behalf
Expended." 32

'VlRGlN\A APPAL/\CH\f\N NOTES

�A more serious situation arose on 6 May 1758 when Jacob was summoned to a
called court on suspicion of being an accessory to a murder. The accused murderer
N icholas Scott, a free mulatto, pleaded not guilty. Witnesses were heard. It was the
opinion of the court that Scott be returned to the county goal to await trial before a court
of O yer and Tenniner. Jacob was summoned to the bar but claimed he knew nothing of
the matter for w hich he was charged. Again, witnesses were heard. Unfortunately the
bottom pages of the order book had been damaged and the verdict relating to Jacob was
missing. No further records concerning the trial were found in the following pages of the
court order book.33 Later entries for disbursements made at the county levy for the year
1758-59 do shed light on the chain of events. At a court held on Friday the 16th of March
1759 the sheriff was paid "for Summoning and Attendjng a Called court on the
E~amination of Scott and Cogar." The following December on Friday the 2 1st Benjamin
Dickson was paid "for a Horse Damaged in conveying _ _ Scott and Cogar to the public
Goal. George Watkins was also paid for "conveying the said Scott and Cogar to the
public Goal" and reimbursed for a saddle lost by accident at that time. On the County
Levy o f 16 Jan 1761 , David Caldwell was reimbursed for a "horse Impressed to Convey
Nicholas Scott to Williamsburg." That same day Theophilis Lacy was the "assignee of
Jacob Cogar for one old wolf head." From the foregoing it seems that although Jacob
.
.
d 34
spent time m the county goal he was found not guilty as charged and release .
Jacob's financial difficulties were not over. Io July of 1763 Alexander McCaul,
James Lyle &amp; Company sued him for debt. The case was continued and on 16 August
1765 a jury found for the Plaintiffs; Jacob was ordered to pay damages of 14 pounds,
19 shillings, 7 pence and costs.35
The following year John Cogar collected a fee for one old wolf bead and Henry
Cogar assigned two old wolves heads to Epaphioditus White. George Allen was
appointed surveyor of the road from Mill Creek Waters to Marrowbone Creek; Jacob
Cogar, John Cogar and Henry Cogar were among those ordered to clear and keep the
road in repair. 36
In 1766-67 Stones Creek was located in the new county of Pittsylvania that was
taken from a part of Halifax Co.; thus without moving the Koger faJ~ily found
.
themselves residents of a new county. Henry was the first of the family to appear m court
where he collected a fee for one old wolf head.37 On 24 Jun 1769, Jacob was sued for a
debt owed John Blevins. A judgment by default was granted with John Cogar as security.
The judgement was to be discharged by payment of18 pounds, 13 shillings and 11 pence
with legal interest of"five per Centum per Annum" from 29 May 1764, the d_ate ~e debt
was incurred. That same day Jacob sued James Blevins, but for reasons not given lD the
court records the case was dismissed.38
On 26 September 1771 John Cogar bought 11 3 acres of land on the north fork of
39
Gobling Town Creek in Pittsylvania Co. from Jacob Echols for 30 pounds. He may
have married about this time for the following 25 Mar I 774 E lizabeth Cogar appeared as
a witness for Eleanor Martin in the latter's suit for "Trespass assault and Battery" against
Anthony Tittle and Ann his wife. The plaintiff Eleanor Martin recovered damages and

costs and Elizabeth Cogar was paid for two days attendance. That same day. Jolm Cogar
served on the jury for four different cases. 40
John Donelson, Gent. Surveyor of Pittsylvania Co. was appointed on 29 Nov
1776 to run a dividing line between Pittsylvania and the newl y created County of H e nry:
Stones Creek was then located in the new county and Jacob and his family became
residents of Henry County, VA. By 1777 Jacob may have been pressed for cash, fo r the re
were rent fees to be paid on bis 861 acres, land to be cleared and cultivated and perhaps
money still owed to John Blevins on 21 April 1777 he sold his 94 acres on the north fork
'
41
of the Mayo River to Thomas Stockton for 60 pounds.
During the War of Independence (1776-1781) no records were found in the court
order books that Henry, John or Nicholas Koger served in the military. John, however.
42
was reimbursed on 24 May 1782 for 25 lbs. of beef supplied the commissioners.
On 21 Oct 1782, Jacob deeded the 285 acre tract on both sides of Stones Creek
patented to him in 1771 to " Henry Koger ... for and in Consideration of Divers Good
Causes and more Especially for the Natural Affection I have for my son Henry." Peter
43
Coger, John Dellard and Mary (X) Coger witnessed this deed.
The following month on 15 Nov J782 John Cogar was ordered to " ... take into his
Possession the Estate of Jacob Cogar his Father, for the future Support of the said Jacob
4
Cogar, it appearing that the said Jacob Cogar is Delirious ... '"'
Two weeks later on 29 November1 782 the administration of Jacob's estate was
granted to John Cogar. John Marm, Charles Fisher, Samuel Allen and Henry Tittle or any
three of them were to appraise the estate. The appraisement was made on 13 June 1783
and on 26 June J783 was acknowledged and ordered recorded by the Henry County
Court.45
Therefore, the foregoing court records show that Jacob Koger died between th e
15th and 29th of November 1782.
Jacob left no will. But court records do show that John and Henry were his son s.
While Nicholas is not so identified, he is found on the 1782 Henry Co., VA p ersonal
property tax lists with Jacob, Henry and John. In 1788 Nicholas paid taxes on land that
had belonged to Jacob, namely, the 257 acre tract on Stone's Creek that had been
surveyed for Jacob on 23 Oct 1755 and granted to Jacob on 23 July 1787 about five years
after bis death. 46 Jacob therefore had three known sons: John, Henry and Nicholas.
The question remains: Were Peter Jacob and Michael also sons of Jacob
Koger? First Peter will be discussed, then Jacob ~nd Michael.
There are no entries for Peter in the court records except for the signatures of
Peter Coger and Mary (X) Coger as witnesses to the 1782 deed granting land to Jacob's
son Henry. These signatures have been offered as proof that Peter was the son of Jacob

Vl~~llll A Ann• t a"'' ........ ·-~,,..,.

�and that Mary was the wife of Peter. But these signatures alone tell us nothing of their
identity, their relationship to Jacob or to each other.
Peter made three applications for service in the Revolutionary War. In these
applications he declared that he was born either in Pennsylvania and taken to Virginia as
an infant or born on the Hawksbill in the State of Virginia. His dates of birth in these
applications range from 1748 to 1761 . He said that he was raised in Rockingham Co.,
VA, entered the service with his brother Jacob in that county and that both had returned
there after the war. 47 Personal property tax records show that shortly after their return to
Rockingham Co. Peter and Jacob removed to Botetourt County, VA where they lived for
several years, eventually moving to Franklin Co., V A. 48 Although Henry, John and
Nicholas inherited land from Jacob, there is no record that Peter inherited land from
Jacob. Peter did not buy land until 1797 two years after moving to Franklin County and49
fifteen years after the death of Jacob; this is the first record of land ownership by Peter.
Moreover, a comparison of personal property taxes paid by Peter and Jacob's sons H~nry,
0
John and Nicholas shows that Peter was considerably less affluent than Jacob's sons.'
Therefore it would appear that Peter inherited nothing from Jacob.
For the following reasons, it appears that Peter was not a son of Jacob. When
Jacob and his family departed Augusta Co. for Halifax Co. between 1753 and 1754, Peter
had either not yet been born or was very youno. He was raised in Augusta County (from
which Rockingham County was later organized in 1778) while Jacob and his family were
living in what eventually became Henry Co, VA. Peter is not found on the court order
books or the tax records (land or personal property records) of the counties where Hans
Jacob resided. There is no record that he inherited land from Jacob or came into
possession of land Jacob had owned.
There is no record of a son named Jacob, Jr. associated with Jacob and his wife
Lucinda Crum. Peter's brother Jacob served with him in the George Rogers Clark
campaign and soon after their return to Rockingham County they removed to Botetourt
Co., VA where Jacob married Sarah Walker on 15 Jun 1791. 51 In 1793 Jacob and Sarah
moved to Franklin Co., VA and bought land. 52 Jacob died in Franklin County after .
making a will on 21 May 1797 leaving his estate to his loving wife Sarah C:oger. dunng
her widowhood. Should she marry, the estate would be divided with one third given to
his wife and the remainder to his children. 53 There is then, nothing in the records to
suggest that Jacob had a son Jacob, Jr. or that Peter's brother Jacob was a son of Jacob.
It has been claimed that Hans Jacob and Lucinda had a son Michael. But there
was no Michael found in the Halifax, Pittsylvania or Henry County court recor~s. The
name Michael first appears in an Augusta Court record of 1755 when Adam M1Jler
.
4
became the guardian of"Michael Coger, orphan of Nicholas Coger, deceased."' This
Michael was the son of Nicholas and Elizabeth (Wilbeut) Koger. Seven years later, on
6 Jun 1762, Michael married 55 and on the 131h of August of that san1e year Jacob Coge~6
of Halifax Co., VA sold 455 acres more or less to Michael Coger of Augusta Co., VA. '
This tract was the part of the 930 acres patented to Jacob in 1753 that he had kept in his
own name after selling 465 acres to Thomas McCredie. It has been claimed that this was

VIRGINIA

�JS4
a wedding gift from Jacob to his son Michael, but the deed does not state that Michael
was his son or that the land was a gift, wedding or otherwise. In the following years,
Michael acquired more land in Augusta County and was appointed a captain of the
militia.57 When that county was divided in 1778, Michael was in that part which became
Rockingham County, VA. That same year he "took the oath of a Justice of the Peace, a
58
Justice of the County Court in Chancery and a Justice of Oyer and Terminer. He
59
remained a captain of the militia until his resignation in April of 1783. Shortly after, he
sold his properties in Rockingham and moved to Kentucky where he passed the
remaining years of his life.
Therefore, there is no evidence that Jacob was the father of Peter, his brother
Jacob or Michael. However, it is evident that Michael was the son of Nicholas Koger.
The origins of Peter and his brother Jacob is the subject of further research and a follow
up article.
In conclusion, these records show that Jacob (Hans Jacob Koger) and his wife
Lucinda Crum had three sons: Henry, John and Nicholas Koger.
In the foregoing records of Colonial Virginia Court Orders the German surname
Koger was usually spelled Coger or Cogar and on occasion Cogor, Coager or ~ouger. In
Vol. I of Augusta Co., VA Court Orders the surname was spelled Cober but this was
discontinued in the remaining volumes. The German spelling of Koger se7ms to have
become the accepted spelling of the surname after the death of Jacob by his sons John,
Henry and Nicholas. Jacob, the brother of Peter, signed his will as Jacob Koger; Peter and
his descendants continued the Anglicized spelling of Coger or Cogar.

Maria Eva is not found on the passenger list with other members of the Willheit family. She is said
to have married William Carpenter: however, no marraiage record has been provided.
After their arrival in Philadelphia the Willlheit family joined other German families already
located in York County, p A. There at the Church of Codorus Maria Magdalena married Martin Frey on
l Apr 1735. Four and a half months later on 15 Aug 1735 her sister Maria Elizabeth married Nicholas
Koger. The Rev. John Caspar Stover officiated on both occasions.
Rev. John Caspar Stover also records that Maria Elizabeth Meuller of Adam and Barbara was born
on 22 Aug 1758 and baptized on 24 Sep J758.
Koger family genealogists have said that Adam Miller married Barbara Marie Koger,the sister of
Hans Jacob Koger but no proof has been offered. In fact, records from the Evangelical Protestant Church,
Auggen, Baden, Germany show that Hans Jacob had only one sister (a half sister of his father 's first
marriage) born 25 Dec 170 I and that she died 8 May 1703. For this reason, others believe that Adam Miller
married Barbara Willheit; no record of their marriage has been found.

August 2004
Dear Friends,
It is August and school will soon be starting with many activities for our attention . There
must be an equation to explain the passage of time as it relates to our years on this earth. Or does
down hill explain it? Whatever the reason, I feel compelled to recognize the dedication and
expertise of folks who continue to do the work necessary to keep this organization operating.
Winfred Hart is our treasurer. Every so often someone will agree to take that office, but
often, midway through the term he is called to rescue. And rescue he does, with a smile and g lad
to help. In addition to keeping a beautiful set of books, he has been a volunteer at the Family
History Library in Salem for about 15 years and a member of the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra
for years. Retired, he still attends every concert he can.
You surely have noticed the various articles Don Vaughan has contributed to the VAN,
but clid you know he maintains the membership list for mailing the V ANs and supplies the
address labels? He also gets the labels to the mailer, fills in as recording secretary and in general
helps anywhere anytime. We have relied on him for years 'n years.
Jim Nelson follows in their footsteps. He keeps track of our various memberships, and
duties that go with that position. As a Volunteer Roanoke Library Staff, he is often at work in
the Virginia Room. You may remember he was also co-chair of the Family History Celebration
last year. He plays the tuba with the Roanoke Community Band and the orchestra for his church.
Fred Anderson, in his second year of office, fits right in--he is a weekly volunteer driver
for the blind. Did you notice the~r inte~ests are not limited to genealogy? They have all served
well and long to the benefit of this Society and the community. On behalf of all our membership, THANK YOU! - Winfred, Don, Jim and Fred. Do- please- continue!
I hope you have enjoyed "meeting" them and are inspired by their efforts. There will be
room for new people to serve as officers come November elections!
Elaine Powers and Pam Young have been trying to locate someone to give classes in
genealogy at the library this fall. Is this something you can and will do? Perhaps if it cannot be
arranged this fall, it could be after the Christmas holidays.
With hope for our organization's future,
Gene

ROANOKE AND NEW RIVER VALLEYS, VIRGINIA, MANUSCRIPTS: A Guide to
Collec tions in the United states. Edlted by Charles A. Bodie) History !vluseum and Historical
Society of Western Virginia. 286 pages $19.80
by George Kegley

Researchers and readers of history have a new source for stacks of old documents from
Roanoke, Botetourt, Craig, Montgomery and Floyd counties. Charles Bodie, a Lexington
historian, has compiled a descriptive guide for more than 1,600 collections in 62 public libraries in
Virginia and across the nation.
Here are references to such primary sources as maps, diaries, letters, slave and iron
furnace records, ledgers, pension applications, photographs, city directories, genealogical
material, stagecoach waybills, land surveys and many other papers. Here we learn how to find
18'11 century letters ofWilJiam Fleming and William Preston; Thomas Jefferson's vouchers for
Botetourt County property; 19th century account books of a Roanoke County sawmill operator;
an inventory of the estate of Col. George Hancock, owner ofFotheringay in Montgomery
County; and photo copies of early papers at Christiansburg Institute. The guide is enhanced by a
SO-page index and the names and addresses of the libraries where the papers are preserved.
These items touch the lives of people on farms, in stores, homes, schools and in
professions. They document people neglected by many writers, such as wome~ children, blacks,
small farmers and factory workers.
Bodie, the editor, previously completed similar guides for Rockbridge and Bath counties.
The guides are sold at the History Museum Gift Shop and some local bookstores. This study was
partially funded by a grant from the Virginia foundation for the Humanities.

NEW WEB-SITE FOR GENEALOGISTS
Olten people have trouble finding their ancestors because a census record is missing. Census
records are the backbone of genealogy research and are used more often by researchers than any
other record type. When one is missing th e loss is serious, but not irreparab le.

Missing Federal Censuses
De laware, before 1800
Kentucky, Virgin ia before 1810
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee before 1820
Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, New Jersey before 1830
Our goal at www.censustTail.com is to restore missing censuses from alternate records that exist
and make them read ily avai lable on our website. We currently have nearly 50,000 names on file
and are add ing more on a freq uent basis. We are even building censuses for each decade before
1790!
As an example of w hat we have available at www.censustrail.com, is what we feel are most
heads of household for 1810 Indiana, 1810 Missouri, and a large percent of those for I 760 New
Jersey and 1790 Georgia. An added benefit for Georgia is the inclusion of names for Burke and
Washington Counti es w hich have experie nced severe record Joss.
Our web-site does not contain I 00s of millions of names as some others do. Simply because
there were not that many people living here for the time period we are working on. Only about
3,000,000 people lived in America in 1790 with less than 400,000 heads of household.
We focus our efforts on areas of missing censuses so the impact of our database is concentrated
where it is needed most. Excluding existing census records, our fil es are quite large for their
area of focus and are continually growing.
Unlike the non-census records in other web-sites, censustrail.com organizes the information by
date and locality like a census would.
When we index a name we include most relevant infonnation to help you decide if that person is
important to you without your having to go to the source. For example an already available 1850
Ohio census index contains about 7200 Smiths and 720 John Smiths, and that is just for heads of
household ! A ll the index gives is the name and place found on the census. Few would take the
time to search census microfilm 7200 times to find a child in a Smith family.
What we are doing is a massive undertaking which will require many years of work, the efforts
of many people, and a considerable financial investment which is why there is a fee of less than
a dollar a month for using this website.

We invite you to visit us at www.censustrail.com.

�SURNAME INDEX 2004
There are three steps involved in contacting the person who submitted the surname you are int erested in .
1. In the "Surname List" identify the surname you are interested in and note the reference number to
the left of the surname.
2. Locate the reference number in the numerical listing of members. There you will find th e nam e of
the member submitting the surname.
3. Look up the member's name in the Society Membership Directory. There you will find the m e m ber's
contact information.
The Surname Index is designed to help you identify other members researching the same surn a m es you
are. Dates and places are provided to help you determine whether or not this is the family you a re
interested in. Keep in mind that all dates are approximate. We try to proof read all of the informati on , but
mistakes can "sneak in". We apologize for this. Please let us know if you find any. Contact K aren
Kappesser, 514 Scalybark Drive, Blue Ridge, VA 24064; phone: (540) 977-0067; e-mail:
gkkapp@infionline.net
Note from the surname list editor: In keeping with the instructions on th e renewal form, ev eryo ne 's
entries were limited to six (6) surnames only. All surnames noted as "additions" on the form w e re add ed ,
corrections, where noted, were made and older, extra surnames were deleted keeping the total to s ix (6) .

******

NOTE- We would like to know if you want us to continue the Surname *****
Index. Has it helped you? If we do not get a significant amount of positive
feedback, we plan to discontinue it. A lot of work goes into making it ready
for publication and if it is not useful to you then we will put the time into other
areas of the VAN .

Please give your comments to Karen Kappesser, 514 Scalybark Drive,
Blue Ridge, VA 24064; phone: (540) 977-0067; e-mail: gkkapp@infionline.net
HAPPY HUNTING!!

others can understand them and have a chance to help you. Each query should include name,
dates, and location to identify the problem. Please CAPITALIZE sumames - is it Mary Smrth

MATERIAL FOR PUBLICATION: We welcome articles, records, etc. for publications.
The material when received may not be used in following issue, but in a future issue. If a large
amount of material is sent, it may take a while to publish because we try to have a variety of

a minimum margin on ALL sides of 1 inch. Center your title. Be sure to include your name,

with all caps are difficult to read. PLEASE read material over before mailing and double check all
dates. (2) GIVE SOURCE OF MATERIAL. Original documents - where found, type of record ,
page number, etc., or, if known, who now has the document in their possession. We CANNOT
PRINT material from printed sources unless we have written permission from the publisher, which
you MUST FURNISH. We must have source of material to give credit to the person who has done
the work. (3) DEADLINE for submitting material should be at least two months before date of
publication. ( 4) PLEASE do not send material that you want returned - send a photocopy to us
instead. That way it won't get lost, as letters do get misplaced, when passed from one person to
another.

(location at time of date), Date (birth, death, marriage, or where living a~ the date
given). 'WASKEY, William Christopher- Montgomery Co, VA- 1900-10 death" If this
data takes more than one line or the spouse is included on the same line, it will
count as two names. The limit is 1o names. The surname index is published in the
August issue.

VAN cannot vouch for the accuracy of the material submitted to us and
printed by us. The 'translation' of the original
document may not be correct - get a copy of the
original document, if possible, to see if you
agree with the printed version.

Most of you know that Babe Fowler retired as editor the VAN after twenty some years as
editor. But she isn't exactly retired, as I do not think there has been one issue that she has not
contnbuted articles, research or help in assembling. Most likely all three. She was a founder of the
Society and it is dear to her heart: Always ready and willing to help where ever she can. Next time
you see Babe, let know you appreciate her efforts!
Our Proclamation by Roanoke's mayor for Family History Month, October 2003, has been
framed and is now displayed in the Virginia Room. ·
Have you found some long sought after information in an unexpected way and quite by·
' accident'? Inspire your fellow members by writing a short article for the VAN .. Or contribute a
xerox copy of a will or deed. (It would be ' nice' to transcribe it, if the writing is difficult to read)
While you are relaxed, enjoying our beautiful sprin~ consider taking an office in the Society

Using Old Receipts to Tum Paper
into People
by
Marshall D . "Don" Vaughan

Don't you just hate reading those dry, statistical biographies that are published about our
ancestors?
Abraham Whitworth, son of John Whitworth and Frances Bozwell, was born
before 1820 in Bedford County, Virginia. He married Catherine Ware Kennett,
daughter of J oseph L. K ennett and Lucy Johnson, on December 6, 1860, in
Franklin County, Virginia. He served in Company F, 57th Virginia Infantry during
the Civil War. Abraham was a farmer and the father of five children. He died
September 10, 1901 , in Franklin County, Virginia, and is buried in the family
cemetery.
Does that answer your questions about what kind of life Abraham and Catherine had?
What items did they purchase at the general store? As a farmer, what crops did he raise?
What tragedies and hardships did the family endure? Thanks to a collection of old receipts
that was p assed from my great-grandfather, to my grandfather, to my mother, and then to
me, I have been able to add some personality to and gain some insight into the life of my
great-grandfather, Abraham Whitworth. Spanning sixty years (1832 - 1891), the receipts
detail general store purchases, medical visits, and work relationships.
After you file those federal and state income tax returns, save a couple of your pay stubs.
When you are doing your spring cleaning or sorting through that old, four-drawer file
cabinet, keep some of those cable, telephone, or other utility statements. Retain a few of
those cash register tapes from a grocery store, home improvement center, or clothing
retailer. One of your great-grandchildren may become curious about how you lived in the
2 1st Century.

NOTE: To meet layout require ments, some of the receipts were reduced 15% from actual
size.

�By 1832, Abraham Whitworth had established an account with A. C. Rucker &amp; Company of
Bedford County, Virginia.

July 24, 1832, Abraham Whitworth and his brother Rowland each paid $10. 00 on their accounts
with A. C. Rucker and Company.

On December 13, 1879, the family of Abraham Whitworth may have been Christmas shopping. Redirnade coats,
calico, and coffee were among the items purchased from W. H. Edwards of Franklin County, Virginia. Four dollars
credit was given on December 20, in exchange for a calf. William H . Edwards served intermittently as a
Representative in the Virginia House of Delegates from 1848 to 1861 . He also served as the first Postmaster at
Edwardsville, Franklin County, Virginia, when a post office was established there on January 9, 1878.

Roanoke, Virginia 24026

January 2004

Dear Fellow Members,
Happy New Year! And a special 'Thank You, to the officers and committee members
who served the last two years. As you will notice, some folks continue to serve in another
capacity. You are encouraged to attend as many meetings as possible and to join in the duties of
the Society.
Very interesting programs are anticipated with former Virginia Room Librarian, E laine
Powers, the new Program Chair! Anita Haksch has assumed responsibility for checking in
Exchange Quarterlies before donation to the Virginia Room.
Foremost on the agenda for 2004 is the necessity to change Section 1 of Article V of the
Society's By-Laws regarding meetings. This has been under consideration for some time due to
the scarcity oflocal members doing the work of the Society. The proposed change is published
in this issue.
Work has begun towards publishing Children ofBotetourt County, Virginia by Charles
T. Burton. Added to publishing the VAN, it will be a busy year. Thank goodness for a
dedicated staff.! In this issue we begin Burton's collection of Botetourt County Death Records
and Jim Nelson's reference for the Marsteller Stone Records.
Th~ Roanoke Valley Convention &amp; Visitors Bureau moved this fall to 101 Shenandoah
Avenue N.E. That is located across the street from Hotel Roanoke in Roanoke's historic :N &amp; W
passenger station. They share the building with the Link Museum which recently opened.
Jimmie Steele, a long time member of this Society passed away December 16, 2003. She
taught genealogy classes for many years and was well know around the state. This society has
donated Index to Virginia Estates 1800-18_65, Vol 4 to the Virginia Room in her memory.

Come, join us in our work - we are still an all volunteer organization!
Cordially yours,
/

MARSTELLER STONE RECORDS
The Marsteller Corporation, started in 1927, provided many of the tombstones for the surrounding area. The final location was on Franklin Road next to
the Roanoke River. Black Dog Salvage followed at the location, has since moved
and the building since been razed.
Marste1ler Stone Records, seven hugb volumes three or more inches thick,
were donated when the company ceased business in 1992. They are stored in a
base1nent vault and difficult to access. Jun Nelson, Virginia Room volunteer, was
asked to develope the following reference for patron' s use.
·
The records give c01nplete directions for the engraver, purchase order and
occas ionally relatives. Cemetery listings outside the metropolitan area are sketchy
at best. In some cases more detail can be found in the Marsteller book. At times,
markers were ordered and picked up by the purchaser with no hint of the final
destination.
The following records are for 1957 in a to111e about three inches thick. Of
course, many of the markers that had "blank" DOD entries in 1957 will have since
been completed. Jim is currently working on the 1943,1944 record book.

�Honor Veterans with Government Grave Markers
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) National Cemetery Associati on
maintains 120 national cemeteries in 39 states (and Puerto Rico) as well as 33
soldiers' lots and monument sites. Two other national cemeteries, Arlington
National Cemetery and the US Soldiers' &amp; Airmen 's Home Natio nal Cemeter y
(Washington, D.C.), are supervised by the Department of the Army.
Upon request, the VA will provide a government headstone or marker for th e
grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery worldwide. There is n o
charge to the applicant but certain eligibility requirements must be met. The
deceased must have been honorably discharged, for example . If the marker is to
be placed in a private cemetery, someone, usually a local official , must be
responsible for the receipt and installation of the marker. Most private cem e te ri es
charge a fee for setting a headstone.
If the veteran is buried in a national, post, or State veterans' cemetery, cemetery
officials will order the marker. For placement in a private cemetery, VA Form 401330, Application for Standard Government Headstone or Marker must be
completed and submitted, including a copy of the discharge documents or other
military records required to: Memorial Programs Service (402E), Department of
Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420-0001 .
VA Form 40-1330 may be obtained from any VA regional office or national
cemetery or by calling 1-800-827-1000. Information is a lso availab le at:
www.cem.va.gov/hmorder.htm.
There are 15 national cemeteries in Virginia. They are listed at
www. cem.va.gov/listcem.htm#VA. The state veterans cemetery is V irginia
Veterans Cemetery, 10300 Pridesville Road, Amelia, VA 23002; Cindy
VanBibber, Superintendent; phone: 804-561-1475; FAX: 804-561-1455
The VA National Cemetery Association will also help to determine if a decedent
is buried in one of the 120 national cemeteries. Up to 1O names can be
requested. Records do not contain personal , military or fam ily information. No
form is necessary, and there is no fee. Simply send your written request to:
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, National Cemetery Administration (4028) ,
Burial Location Request, 810 Vermont Avenue, N .W. , Washington , D.C. 20420.
Be sure to include full name, date and place of birth, date and place of death ,

Dear Sir:
I received the book, Botetourt County Virginia Early Settlers. by Charles T. Burton.
We have many in our society whose ancestors came from Virginia so this shouJd be a help on th e.ir
research.

L too, have ancestors on both sides of my family who settled in Virginia, particularly Botetourt County.
(Woods, McCoun, Black, McGee etc.)
I don't know who is perpetuating errors on Old Archibald Woods, you or Mr. Burton. There were two
Archibald Woods: Archibald who married Mary and died in 1783 Virginja. She moved to Kentucky to
live with daughter, Elizabeth, who married David Adams. The old Archibald Woods (b. My 11 , 1706)
who married Isabella Goss moved to the Carolinas and died there Dec. 11, 1768. It appears he is the son
of old Michael Woods of Blair Park, as his son, John (Archibald's) came back to Virginia to settle O ld
Michael's estate.

Old Archibald Woods, who married Mary, died intestate, but Mary's will leaves her estate to her 9
children, all had sons named Archibald except Joseph who remained in Virginia, married widow
McConkley and had no clhildren.
Neander M. Woods in Woods McAfee Memorial started all of this mess by 'giving' part of each of the
two Archibald's children to Archibald Woods who went to the Carolinas and died there. Ever since his
book, all researchers have been perpetuating that situation. Mr. Woods did everyone a favor in collecting
all of the Woods information at that time. But it has taken years for the Woods researchers of the
~escendants of Archibald Woods and Mary to get the two Archibald Woods' lines straightened out. If I
live long enough I hope to get our research into print!
Archibald Woods and Isabella's son, Michael, saved the day by keeping as Age Book of their move to the
Carolinas, listing all of Archibald and Isabella's children and his father Archibald' s b and death appears in
Va. Mag. Hist &amp; Biog Quarterly Dec. 3 1, 1943.
It is our Archibald Woods and Mary who purchased land (Indian Camp) 400A from the McAfees- Robe1t
Poague to James McCoun, McCoun to Gabriel Jones, Jones to James, George and Robe1t McAfee and the
McAfee's to Archibald and Mary.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Charles G. Drake, Treasurer

ABOUT THE 0 . WINSTON LINK MUSEUM

0. Winston Link was a successful independent photographer from New York who
declined numerous offers of exclusive exhibits by several notable musewns. He was actively
involved in the planning of the museum when he died of a heart attack at age 86 in January
2001.
The N&amp;W passenger station was built in 1905 and redesigned in 1947 by worldrenowned industrial designer Raymond Loewy. It served as the hub of five main rail lines
radiating in all directions to points in Ohio, North Carolina, Maryland and Tennessee.
The 0. Winston Link Museum, a partnership of the History Museum and Historical
Society of Western Virginia and Center in the Square is located at 101 Shenandoah Avenue,
across from the Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center.

Nostalgia from The N&amp;W Magazine, December 192..t

0. P. Woodson
1 W:IS born December JO, 1857, in Camp.
bell County, Vn., ne:ir Lynchburg, :ind I h:id
about three re:lfs of schooling in a country
school. My boyhood d:iys were spent on the
form, :ind on November 1, 1875, I enrcred
the service of rhe Arlnntic, Mississippi :ind
Ohio Railroad at Lynchburg Shops, :is :i
wiper in the roundhouse.
This road
afterw:1rds became t h e Norfolk a n d
Western.
I went to firin11 extra in I 8;6, nnd wns
promoted to locomotive engineer in September, 1SSz. I ran freight miins and was in
work train service until M:1y 1~, 1S91, when
1 wns promoted ro pnssenger service. I was
in passen11cr service for J 1 )'cars nnd eight
monchs, when I wns retired. During the
time of my service I hnve enjoyed the
privilege of some of the best runs on my
division.

Thomas C. Vest
Thom:is C:ilvin Vest, generally known as
"Tom", needs no introduction to our older
employees. Tom h:is had nn eventful life
and one finds it h:ird to reconcile Tom's
vigorous :ind :ictive movements with :t m:tn
who has lived 1hree yurs beyond the
:illoccd 1hree score :ind ten.
He w:tS born in Bedford County on M:iy 1,
1851, and received but n limited cducntion in
the schools of th:it county due to the wnr
between the States. Fnrm life occupied his
time until he wns 17, when he w:is apprenticed. Four years of hnrd work m:ide him n
P.lasterer. But, ns he tersely sums it up,
Whnt I could :nake and save during the
sum.11er months dwincfled quickly nwny

during the winter months when l could
finri no work."
Then he cn1ered rnilrond service ns w:i1ch.
mnn on a sec1ion. After two yc:irs, he
nsked for :ind received :t job as :t locomoti ve
fireman. In those ci:1ys 1he wood burner
rredominntcd :ind :i fircm:in ·~ Ii fe wns no t :i
bed of roses. The fuel h:id to be lo:ide&lt;l
by hnnd on the locomori\·e :it the fuel
stations :ind the mechanic:il s toker w:1s
embodied in the arms oi the humnn /iremnn.
Serving four rc:irs :ts :i lircm:tn, he w:is
promot~d to the throttle. Hi s first ns.~ign.
ment w:is :t bnll:tsc trnin oper:tting between
Big Lick (now Ro:1nokc) :ind Blue Ridge,
spending the time when the b:ill:tst tr:iin w:is
not in service shifting enrs about the shop
y:ird of the Roanoke Mnchine Works.
H~ w:i~ then rrnn~ferred 10 Central (now
Rndiord ) :ind was :issigncd to :i freig ht run

with pride 1h:tt he hauled eastbound the

L:itcr he was trnnsferred to Lynchburi:t :ind

"When we did not h:ive use for the y:ird
engine I worked in the shops :ind have oi1-:n
thought of the plensant experiences I h:id
there working under N. H. Smith and
Frank Sturk, master mech:inics, and M:tchinists L P. Ligon :ind C. M. Mays. To
these gentlemen I :im indebted for the
knowledge I :icquircd of che Etcncr:il
construction of the locomotive nnd th:it

Frank M . Ratliff
Frnnk M. R:itli/T w~s born on Ma rch JJ
1861, in F~oyd County, Vn., living there until
he wns c1p;hc ycn~s old. when his pnrents
moved to !&gt;11l:isk1 County, nenr Dublin,
where Frnn~ ~tarted his schooling. He
started workmg nbout the form, but !arming
never nppenlcd to him so he deserted the
plow and worked in severnl flour nnd woolen
mills loc:ited at Snowville and at Newport
Giles County.
'
In l 886, he moved to Radford nnd entered
the service of the Virginin nnd Tennessee
R ailroad, now a p:irc of the Norfolk :ind
Western, under N . H. Smith foreman and
was placed in L. P. Ligon's rC".'•"ldhouse gang.
Several years lacer he became a locomotive
fireman between R adford and Bristol. This
run forced him to be absent from his family
so when an opening occurred on the Dr):
Branch pusher, with lny over nt Rndford
Fr:ink asked for nnd received his transfer'.
Sevc;rnl yenrs Inter he wns assigned to y:ird
servH:e at Radford ;ind fired nn engine on thnt
yard until 1902, when he was promoted to
enginemnn. After running for a shore time
on Radford Ynrd he was transferred to
Roanoke Yard and continued there until
his retirement because of bad henlth in April,
1923.

Looking back on his railroad experience
he dearly recalls the building of the belt
line ~ro';lnd Roanok~. He played no small
part in its construction and is pr oud of the
fact that he hauled the first train over the
completc;d line. Frank now spends most of
his time tn the open and is a familiar figure in
Highland Park. His henlth has improved to
some extent since his retirement. Fr:mk is at
home to his friends at 7~7 Marshall Avenue,
Southwest, and we wish him manv more
yenrs of happiness and nil the blessings of
this Ii fe.

Stephen L. Mayo
I was born in Albemarle County, Va., on
.August I.i, 1650. My boyhood days were
spent &lt;?n a form (Little Egypt), near Charlottesville, and I attended school at Cedar
Grove and later at Parsonage School. From
both these schools trains could be seen

p nssi ng every dn\' nnd I rcsoh·ed that 1
would be ~n enizlnec:r. F :irm life did not
appeal to me :it iill.
ln t S;: C:ipt. T. W. \\'ood, postmnstcr and
depot :iizent, offered me :c clerkship in his
store at- h·y, on the Chesapenke :ind Ohio.
\i\' hile working here l became ncquainted
with some of the Chcsare:ike nnd Ohio men,
especially those in loc:i freight service, and
on March 1, 1S7,1, I went on the locnl with
Cnpt. Alex Neth.erland, brother ~f .C:· ~:
Netherland, superintendent. Captnm Lex
was n fine old gentleman and very kind to
several of us young fellows who were
working without pa)' until we could find a
vacancy. In those d:1vs conductors selected
their brnkeman nnd engineers their firemen .
J spent most of my work hours on engine 40
with H.J. vV. (Poll y) Perkins :ind his fireman,
Joe Phillips, doing most of the firing while
Toe did the running. About two weeks later
Phillips was promoted and Polly Perkins
took me to fire for him. And from that time
on I had to do nlmost all the work-no
metallic packing 11nd no inj ectors-we had
to pack our piston rods, v11lve stems and
pump plungers with hem? rope, key the
rods line up crosshe:ids which hnd gibs held
on bv slide plates bolted to the crosshend,
and the pump plunger wns nlso attached to
crosshe:icl. Most of this work wns done
when on n siding w:iitinq for some other train.
Early che next year Polly gave up the local
and took a through run, Staunton to Richmond. His p:iy increased from $3.50 to
~4 .-r and mine from j;r.50 to Sz.oo per trip
nnd ~o overtime. We were still burning wood
and usin~ 14 or 15 cords
trip h:iving to
throw ir from the wings o the tender to the
vault, from the vault to the foot-plate and
from foot-plate into the firebox. H&lt;\rd work
nnd more of it than I had thought there
could be in train service.
The Chesape&lt;\ke and Ohio was then
getting through to the co:il fields :ind soon
our engines were changed to conl burners.
About this time Geo. E. Sampson was m:ide
our first ro:id foreman of engines. I heard
him tell Perkins to give me all the show he
could for work was getting heavy and they
wanted to promote every man fitted for it.
Perkins told him thnr I was rcndy whenever

he needed me. The first thing expected of a
new man was to learn the rules and :t fireman
or br:ikeman in service two months knew
the rules and watched out for rights as
closeh· as did the conductor and engineer.
And ru les were more complicated th:in they
:ire now; we simplr h11d to le:irn them .and
underst:md what thev meant. One night
nbout t he middle of July, 1S74, I was called
off m\' ene:ine at Gordonsville, given charge
of en~ine -4 and ordered to take a train to
Staunton. Thus, after firing 18 months, I
was promoted on the word- of the man I
fired for.
V\'hen the divi~ions were made shorter,
Richmond to Charlottes,·ille and Ch:irlottesville to Clifton Forge, I fe;ll heir to a run
Richmond to Charlottesville and traded
runs with "Pat" Taylor, a young mnn whose
mother lived in Richmond.
This put me in t.he mountains, C~:irlotte~
ville to Clifton Forge, where I remmned until
October l 880 when r came to the Shennndoah V~lle\' 'now a part of the Norfolk
and Westerr:. In June, 1881, the Shenandoah Valley line was completed from
H&lt;\gerstown to Roanoke. Fesides good local
traffic we have hauled a great number of
through passengers a!'ld have always hnd to
do fast running. We have killed some
employees, some tresp~sscrs and a few
motorists (who were crym!f t» beat us to
public crossings) but as wel: as I can re~em­
ber there has never beer. a passenger killed
on one of our trains. This is a good 40-year
record for a road throu!:{h the beautiful
valley of Virginia, nnd let us hope that its
record will continue good.
On December 31, 19?.o, I was retired &lt;\long
with a number of others who had also reached
the age limit.

A Little Thing
W'en big vessels meet, they say,
They saloot an' sail away,
Jest the same are you an' me
Lonesome ships upon a sea;
Each one sailing his own jog
For a port beyond the fog.
Let your speaking trumpet blow,
Life your horn an' cry "hullo !"
Say "hullo" and "how d'ye do I"
Other fol.ks are good as you,
W'en you leave your house of clay,
Wanderin' in the Far-Away,
W'en you travel through the
strange
·
Country t'other side the range
Then the souls you've cheered
will know
Who you be, an' say "hullo!"

�This material has been copied as Mr Burton wrote the information on the
index cards. Please remember that he never expected it to be copied or published, so we may ask where the cemetery is located (see Botetourt County
Cemetery Book) . Each genealogist has his or her way of putting the information down - and it doesn't always make sense to someone else. This information is from material that has been research over a period of about 30 years
or so - so some cards have sources while others do not. The census record
is "The 1850 Botetourt County census" · The Heirs List gave the ages of the
heirs, in some instances he put the ages in without adding years such as 76
or born ca
. The death records are from the death register, death cert i ficates, inquest papers, cemeteries, Cronise Scrapbook, court order or minute
book (this is where children are called orphans, in most cases the mother is
still .living), deed books: division of land, selling of inherited land, and
information he received from clients• He also used marriage records, birth
records (these may show names of parents) . He took notes from various books
and quarterlies that he had . The administrator or executor wi 11 be found in
the cdurt order or minute book on the date given or the will book .

Dear Fellow Members,
WE DID IT!!! On October 18 your Society staged a very successful Family History
Celebration Day. The speakers were excellent. Their programs contained much useful
in formation and it was a treat to hear them. The various authors in attendance offered
a wide assortment of books for sale as well as answered questions about their works.
While we did not keep an actual "head" count, we had around 80 people participate in
the activities. The Society wishes to thank all who helped make this day special. Gene
Swartzell lists their names in her article on page 138. The article also includes
photographs of the day' proceedings.
In this issue you will find articles submitted by members, Helen Johnson, Charles R.
Anderson and Babe Fowler. We thank them for taking the time to put the material
together. This is your quarterly. Please consider sending us something for publication.
Soon you will be receiving your annual renewal notice. We hope to see you back as a
member for 2004.
This is my last letter as Society president. It has been my pleasure to service in this
office. I will continue to be a part of the Society, helping in anyway I can.

TWELVE STONES FOR BELMONT: REVISITED IN 2000, edited by Clovis E. Linkous.
Soft cover, 132 pages, name index, privately printed, Blacksburg, Virginia, May 2000.
"Belmont is a community of Montgomery County, Virginia lying between Price Mountain and
Barringer Mountain. This book is written in celebration of the 250th anniversary of Belmont's
beginning in 1750. It is an update and extension of the first edition entitled "Twelve Stones of
Belmont" written and self-published in 1976 by Clovis E. Linkous." (quote page 9)
A committee of eight long time residents of Belmont wanted to record as much as possible to
honor those who gave so much, and to inform those coming after of their heritage. They begin
with the original Land Patents and include photographs of Old Belmont. Churches, schools,
maps, and points of interest and how the community has changed are some of the subjects
covered.
Over 60 pages are given to the history and biographies of the families. Some oftbe surnames
are Chrisman, Charlton, Hornbarger, Harman, Taylor, Hawley, Gilmore, Neece, Roberts,
Whitworth, Christian and Long. This neat book is sold out, but we hope it will be re-printed!
Ms. Linkous may be reached at 1018 Oak Pointe Court, Blacksburg, Virginia 24060.
This edition will be donated to the Virginia Room, where the earlier edition was deposited, with
a sincere 'thank you' to the anonymous donor.

TRACING PAPER LABELS PHOTOS

Wh.e~ I w~~t to identify people in a photo, I lay a piece of tracing paper over the top and note
thei~ 1dentit1e~ there, rather than on the back of the photo. The tracing paper can be folded back
to view the p1ct~re, and folded down to find out whom it is. This protects the photo and makes it
easy to correct 1f I have mis-identified anyone. (Writing on the back of a photo causes it to
eventually bleed through and ruins the picture.) I have also used this method to send
photos to relatives so they can identify the people they recognize and mail the tissue paper back
to me, keeping the photo.

Filling ·tn The Blanks 'With Census
As I mentioned last week after my recent moye, I've finally rea~~ed the point where I am able
to spend some time worklng on my ram.lly history. (Even the er'rant refrigerator hinge is back!)
After a long vacation from my flies, I have a lot of organizing and re-flllng to do and am taking
advantage of this time to go through all my research with a· fine-tooth comb, filling In gaps,
updating timellnes, and just generally putting my ducks in a row.
As I was going through one family file, I found that I was missing their entry In the 1880 Census
and with the FamllySearch site's recent launch of the 1880 U.S. Census Index onllne, I thought
I'd check It out. Then, using Information from the index, I'll follow up and grab a ·copy of the
census image at Ancestry: com. While the· Index does contain some good Information, there is
more infornia'fton- on" the..·census record Itself' an·d I want all the details I can get my hands on!
(What can I say? I'm nosy when It comes to my ancestors.)
The index Is a great help for search.Ing because, being an every-name Index, I can look at the
family structure In the Index before golng ·to the trouble of lo_okt~g u·p th~_ Images, saving me
time. When I find the person I 'm looking for, I deflnltely· want to take ttlat extra step to get the
image. Information found on the image that does not appear in the ind ex includes:
.

.

• Street Address. This Is a biggie. I Include addresses In my tlmellnes wherever they are
available. Not only do they help to trace an ancestor's 'movements and posstt&gt;ty lead to property
records, but tliis can also be ·very helpful In matching up records. Tlils Is· the case, particularly
when you're cursed with common names like Kelly, Miiier, Smith, etc. While there may be' a
number of people out there sharing a name with your ancestor, you can be fairly certain you
have the right one If the address matches up.
The address can also let you know what kind of residence your ancestor lived In. Were they
enumerated in some kind of lnstltutlori;'llke a school, hospital, hotel, prison, asylum,. etc.? In the
1880, I have one· long sougnt-after relative who was enumerated· In ttle Hotel· Branting on
Madison Avenue in New York City arid another who was listed at the school/coriverit she
attended. In the latter case, we were able to obtain valuable Information from records the order
of nuns that she joined .
• Wh ether Married During That Year. A no-brainer here - knowing this can lead to marriage

records.
• If Born During That Year -What Month? Another no-brainer-makes it easier to get birth
records.
• Number of Months Unemployed during that-census year. This can give us some great Insight
into family's financial situation. One family I have shows the father t)avlng been unemployed for
three months and the teenage daughters working as coffee packers to supplement the family
income.
• Health Issues .(on the day of the visit were they sick or temp. disabled and If so, sick with
what; were they blind, deaf and dumb, Idiotic, insane, maimed, crippled or otherwise disabled).
• Education. Could they read and write, were the children attending schoo l?

How Do I Find Them At Ancestry.com Using The Index?
Since the page numbers on the Index aren't the sa me as the Image number at Ancestry.com
ther~ a~e a couple of steps, but It's a quick process and beats the heck out of browsing distr.i ct
by district! Here's a quick guide:

lh) Locate) your ancestor In the Index at ww~ .farT)i!~.~_grch_,org (click on the link on the left side of
t e page .
2) Print or make note of the source Information listed below the entry for your ancestor.
3) Go to the ~ensus at Ancestr)-'. .com and select 1880.
4) Using the source Information from the index, click on the state, county, and township on
Ancestry.com.
5) If there aren't.a lot of districts to choose from, you may be al:;&gt;le to determine which one you
need and can ell.c k on it right away~ However, If you find ..yourself looking In-a large city, you may
be faced with -hundreds. of districts. Not to -worr.y, we can narrow it down considerably. Just go.to
the N.atiO [l_g_l P.a:hives' C_E;~!J..S Microfilrn. Cctt9JQfl, click on "Part 7: 1880· Census Schedules" and
scroll down to the state your are searching. Also included In the source information from the
Index, Is the "NP.. Film Number." T9 ts the series number for the 1880 Census and the last four
digits are th..e microfilm number. Look for.the microfilm number under that s.tate In the National
Archives' Catalog'_and yqu'll s~e a _q~scri'ptlon similar to this one:
841. City of Brooklyn, wards 2-4 (cont'd: ED 12, sheet 43-ED 26, sheet 27)
The first ED In parenthes~s Is where this roll of film starts and the last one Is where It ends. So
now we've narrowed It down to fourteen districts In this case. Much better than 253, but still a
sizable chunk.
6) Here's where the "Page Number" comes In (just below the NA Fiim Number In the Source
Information). Pick a district midway through the ED range for that film. For example, one of my
ancestors Is at: NA Fiim ·Number 1:9-0841 (the example above), Page 522C. Since the districts
listed In the NARA catalog for that film are ED 12 - ED 26, I might choose ED 19. Clicking on ED
19, I look at the first Image In. that district. Now. J.look for a stamped number on the page. T.hls
Is the number t~at Is going to .correspond with the page number from the Index. On this page I
see 423 and the letter A stamP,ed- ln - t~e upper corner,, so I'm at 423A. Since I 'm looking for
522C, I probably need to go to a later district. If it were close, I might check later pages in that
district by changing the "Go To Image" number. In this example, District 22 brings me to page
515A and after a bouncing through those images a couple times, I zero in on my ancestor on
Image 15 of 61.
A Bonus Find
I was rewarded In my search by not only finding my ancestor, Edwin Dyer, but the household
above his was headed by his mother-In-law, Eliza Doner. Further down the page, I also see a
Thomas Moran listed. Moran happens to be Eliza's maiden name. He's too young to be a brother,
but could be a nephew or otherwise related, so I'll be keeping his listing In my Misc. Morans fife,
just In case he pops up again somewhere else.
One More Thing
As with any Index, there are bound to be errors, and this one Is no exception. One of Edwin's
daughters Is listed as Agnus L. -ln the census. The Index lists her as L. Agness. I f I were looking
specifically for her, I would have probably spelled her name Agnes, so the mlsspelllng might not
be an Issue, but because the index lists the Initial L. first, she does not come up with any spelling
variant of Agnes . I wou ld have only found her by looking for the initial L. or by searching for

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTFS

.

�someone else in the family (which I did).
To complicate matters further, she Is known to us as Liiy as that Is the name she used
throughout her life, so I probably wouldn't have tt:tought to look for Agnes. The bottom line Is, If
y ou don't find someone right off, don't give up. Expand your search parameters and get a little
creative and you may find them.
Well, I stll\ have a \\ttle time left before my daughter gets home from school, and I have plenty
more loose ends to t ie up, so I'm off In search of more ancestors! See ya next week!

CENSUS HEADINGS FOR EASY REFERENCE
When 1. search online census pages, especially the early years where head of household is the
only name given, I want to know the age categories so I can quickly tell whether this is "my"
Ezekiel or Daniel. or not. All census headings are difficult to read on a computer screen, but
because my memory boggles at remembering categories for 14 censuses, I used to carry blank
copies of each census year with me. I found shuffling through them a nuisance. My final solution
was to cut off the top section of blank copies of each census, tape them in chronological order
on each side of two sheets of paper. Having them laminated w as very inexpensive and now I
have two sturdy and easily carried templates to consult and compare with headings I cannot
read on the computer.

FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA
IN 150 YEARS
This is the story of the migration of my direct family line. From my first
immigrant ancestor, Daniel Barnhart, who left his home in Germany seeking religious
freedom, arrived in Philadelphia around 1750, to Samuel Barnhart, who brought his
family to Seattle, Washington 150 years later.
I am not sure that the migration path of my ancestors follows the general
migration path of our nation. I am sure that the hopes and desires that strengthened them,
and the hardships that cha11enged them, were similar and were the same for all the untold
thousands of families that made this journey. My family members were devout members
of the "Church of the Brethren" and their movement west coincided with and was part of
the westward expansion of that church. Another factor in their moving west was the
appeal of free or cheap land. Farming was the only lifestyle by the families in my direct
line at that time. Despite the beauty and richness of the Great Valley of Virginia, there
was just not enough land for succeeding generations of large families. Moving west was
the only alternative. At no time was my family on the leading edge of the surge west.
They were, however, early settlers, men, women and children who created the permanent
settlements and founded the churches and schools.
Daniel I

Family lore say that Daniel arrived at Philadelphia in 1749 or 1750, with two
brothers, names unknown. In searching "Passenger and Immigration List Index", a list of
500,000 names edited by P. William Filbey, I found no one who could have been the
right Daniel Barnhart. A search of "Thirty Thousand names of Immigrants in
Pennsylvania, by Daniel Rupp was also unsuccessful. Filbey's" book does not have a
complete record of ages. Rupp lists only males over sixteen, who where marched up the
Courthouse to swear allegiance to the Queen. Rupp's list shows six ships arriving in
Philadelphia in 1749 and 1750. I searched the names Barnhart, Barnhardt, Bernjard,
Bernhardt, Bernard and similar names. This list shows two men within that name group
with in that time frame, but none who could be identified as the Daniel Barnhart I was
looking for. It is possible that Daniel had arrived with older brothers and was not
required to swear allegiance to the Queen.
Daniel was said to have married and had two daughters and either three or four
sons.
According to Miles G. Barnhart in bis book "Barnhart Memoirs", the sons of
Daniel were named Daniel II, David and Jonathon or, Daniel II, David, John and Jacob. I
have found no documentation of this, but I have no reason the doubt it.
.
~h:~e are sixteen Barnhart's in the list of "Revolutionary War Soldiers" incJuding
six J?aruel s. I can find no proof my Daniel was one of them. Revolutionary War
pension records have Bernhart, who applied for a pension in 1819, giving his age as 64.,

�this would ~ave made his bi~~ _Year 1755 ~us he could' not be the Daniel I am looking
for. There is a strong poss1b1hty that he did not serve in the war. Members of those
churches whose creed included conscientious objection were excused from serving in the
army by paying a special tax. The "Dunkards" as members of the "Church of the
Brethren'\ were known, were explicitly one of the sects excused.
Daniel Il
Family lore says that Daniel 's son Daniel II was born in Pennsylvania in 1765
However it may have been a few years earlier. He is believed to have moved to Franklin
County, Virginia with a group of members of the Church of the Brethren that migrated
there in the mid 1780s.
I would say again, a11 the names and dates to this point are family lore, and are not
documented.
The first documentation of his being in Virginia is an entry in the " 1887 Personal
Property Tax List. The entry is for Daniel Earnheart. His personal property was one
horse. This list is for males over 21, which indicates that he was born no later than 1766.
The next document is an entry that records on 12 February 1788, to Elizabeth Naff
daughter of Jacob and Eva Naff C. Florin, their tenth child. The Naff name is variously
spelled Naffe, Nafe, Knave and Neff.. Her birth year is given as 1783 in "Naff and
Related Families" by John W. Bointott, This would have made her fifteen years old when
she married a little young but not impossible. "Barnhart Family Record" Josephus E.
Barnhart," says she was born about a year or two later. Three sons and one daughter were
born to this marriage, "Barnhart Family Records", gives these names and dates, John,
born 1787; Daniel ID, born 1791; Abraham born 1795 and Susannah born 1798. The head
stone for Daniel Ill in the Barnhart Family Cemetry, near Salem in Roanoke Co., Virginia
has birth date inscribed as "June 14, 1791. Census records for 1850 and later confirm the
birth years of John and Abraham. Susannah married Stephan Kessler 14 Oct. 1816, and
died in Franklin Co., VA, 6 June 1883.
There three deeds in Daniel's name in the Deed books of Franklin County. On 6
Oct. 1788, he purchased 200 acres from James Calloway for 100 pounds CVM (Current
Money of Virginia), 28 Jan. 1792 he purchased 188 acres for 100 pounds CVM, and 3
Dec. 1892 purchased and additional 120 acres for 50 pounds CVM. This is a total of 580
acres, a large holding for that time and area. There is no record of any of this property
being sold before bis death.

Franklin County was established in 1785. Daniel II is mentioned many times in
the early county records. In 1788 the Court of Franklin County appointed him as a
surveyor of the Road. He was appointed to become an appraiser in the Estate of Jacob
Richman. In l 792he was appointed by the court to be a trustee to help layout a new town
to be called Wisenburg.

'VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTE f''

�There is no record of Daniel's death, but it probably occurred in the spring or
early summer of 1800. There is an entry in the Franklin Co. Court Journal for September
Court 1800 appointing his wife Elizabeth and Joseph Flora, "Administrators for the Goods
Chattels and Credits" of Daniel Barnhart, Dec'd. 1 At the same time four men were
appointed to appraise his estate. The inventory was taken on 6 Sept. 1800, and returned to
the Court on 8 Feb. 1801. The total value Of the estate was 6pounds, 13 shillings and 6
pence. I can not equate that to the dollar value today. It is interesting to read the inventory
as it gives some insight into the way of life of that era, and some idea of the value of
things.
The date of Elizabeth's death is not known. The only indication is found in Will
Book of Franklin County. An Entry in ''Will Book" !records that an inventory of her
estate was returned to the Court and ordered to be recorded. Her estate was valued at 84
Pounds and 14 Shillings.
An entry in "Order Book" 6, 1 February 1813, records that a suit was brought
against the estate of Daniel Barnhart. Joseph Flora is appointed guardian of Abraham and
Susan, the two youngest of Daniel's children. At a court held 3 March 1813 this suit was
tried and settled. An order was issued to the Defendant's to convey to the Plaintiffs, 100
acres of land, described in the court Order. This transferred land does not appear in the
County Will Books. I have not found any names of the plaintiffs, nor the reason for the
suit.
On 1 Feb 1813 John and Daniel TI, the two oldest sons each sold their Y.i interest
in a tract of 208 acres that had belonged to their father, to Joseph Flora for I 00 pounds.
On May 5, 1817, Abraham and Susanah, the two youngest children sold their interest in
this same property to Joseph Flora for the same amount.
I have found no other records for the total distribution oh his estate. There must
have been a substantial amount as there would have been 200 of the 508 acres
unaccounted for, plus the personal property.

Abraham
Abraham, the third son of Daniel and Elizabeth was born 16 Oct I 79 5. He died
12 May 1872. These dates are taken from "Barnhart Family Record" by Josephus
Barnhart. and sustained by other records. He married Elizabeth Naff, (the name is the
same as his mother's), born 18 March 1798and died 23 May 1882. I am not sure who her
parents were. ''Naff and Related Families" has her parents as Isaac a Barbara Naff, "
"B arnhart Family Record" says her parents were Jacob and Elizabeth Naff. Isaac and
Jacob were brothers and each had daughter named Elizabeth born in 1789. Abraham's
mother was sister of Isaac and Jacob, making Abraham and Elizabeth I st cousins. This was
not an unusual occurrence for that time. Due to the sparse population, the pool of
1

�available spouses was limited. Also in the early family there was, and still is, a strong
tendency to marry within the Brethren Church.
Abraham and Elizabeth were the parents of nine children. Danie] born 8 Feb
1819; Hannah born 12 Aug. 1821; Jacob born 25 Dec 1823; Rebecca born 19 March 1826;
John N. born 13 Feb. 1829; Abraham born 11 Nov. 1831; Elizabeth born 26 Sept. 1834;
George born 8 Aug. 183 7, and an unnamed infant who died at birth. Abraham and all his
sons were ministers in the Brethren Church. Abraham is named in the Ministerial List of
the "Brethren Family Almanac for the years 1871-1913. He also appears in the Brethren
Encyclopedia as an Elder in the Germantown Brick Church.
I have been told that the property owned by Abraham was part of the property
owned by his father. It is difficult to locate the exact property as all early deeds were
written using the Metes and Boilllds description. A typical description of a tract
containing 2 Y2 acres and rods of land reads as: Beginning at a Poplar S55 W66 poles to a
gum thence S40 El5 poles to a rock at Sink's comer thence N 441/2 E 63 poles to the
beginning". The Poplar and Gum trees have long since been gone, the rock has been
move and Sink has been dead for 100 years. This is only the description of a small tract.
Imagine a tract of several hundred acres would look like. As property was sold over the
years it was sometimes divided or added to another tract.
Abraham and Elizabeth were lifelong residents of Franklin County, Virginia.
Most of his sons moved west in the search for land, His youngest son, Abraham stayed in
Virginia and took over the family fann at his fathers death. Land records I have found
show that he bought he purchased 140 acres for $500.00. He sold 4 7 acres in 1832, and
purchased another 41 acres in 1840. Leaving him with 121 acres.
In his will his property was left to his son Abraham. ''I will that my son Abraham

have and bold full possession of all my land at the price of three dollars and fifty cents per
acre ... ". This was common way to divide the property. To break the property up in to
eight parcels would not make any parcel big enough for a family fann. The executors then
divided the money from the $3.50 per acre equally among the other children. It was not
unusual for the youngest children to get the property, as the older children had often
moved west or had already purchased nearby property.
Daniel , the first child of Abraham and Elizabeth, was born in Franklin Co., VA.
on 8 February, 1819. He died at the home of his daughter Elizabeth Flory in Willow
Springs Township, Douglas Co., Kansas, on 1 January 1906. These dates are confmned
by an "Affidavit of Death" filed in Probate Court of Franklin Co., Kansas, 5 January 1906,
and by two obituaries and the inscription on his bead stone. He was buried in the Pleasant
Hill Cemetery, in Centropolis Township, Franklin Co., Kansas.

His wife Anna, the daughter of Martin and Elizabeth Frantz Winger, was born in
Virginia on 23 June 1821. She died at the home of one of her sons. These dates are taken
from two obituaries and her headstone. She was buried in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery,
beside her husband.

.VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Daniel

Daniel and Anna were married in Franklin Co., Virginia. The date on the
marriage application is 16 January, 1840. Josephus Barnhart, in the "Barnhart Family
Record" says they were married on Daniel's birthday, 8 February 1840. These dates are
probably accurate as the marriage record shows only the application date, not the day the
marriage was performed. They were the parents of ten children, David 19 Dec 1840;
Abraham 24 April 1843; Isaac 6 Mar. 1844; Elizabeth 3 Jan. 1847; Jacob 2 May 1849;
Joseph 12 Sep. 1851; Sarah 2 May 1854; John 30 Jan. 1857; Benjamin 7 Sep. 1859, and
George 9 June 1862. The first six children were born in Virginia and the rest in Wabash
County, Indiana. John died 39 Jan. 1858, in Wabash, County In. and George died 26 Jan.
1868 in Franklin Co., Kansas.
I do not where Daniel and Anna lived for the first year of their marriage. On 8
Feb. 1841 A deed was given for 75 acres that Daniel purchased in Floyd Co., VA. Floyd
County adjoins Franklin Co. on the west. In Jan. 1851 this land was sold and 146 acres
was purchased in the same county. This land was sold in February 1852. They then
began their western migration.
On 19 July 1852, Daniel purchased 93 acres in Wabash Co., Indiana for $400.00.
This property was sold for $3,700.00 on 4 Oct. 1865. This is huge difference in buying
price and the selling price. Probably this was undeveloped when purchased and the land
was broken and fenced and a home and outbuildings bad been constructed. On 4 Oct. he
also purchased 80 acre. I have found no record of the sale of this 80 acres.
The exact date that Daniel and his family moved to Kansas. The three married
sons, David, Abraham and Isaac, along with their families, and with the unmarried
children accompanied their parents the Kansas. The exact date of the move is not
recorded. An obituary for Sarah Ward, daughter of Daniel and Anna, published in the
Vindicator in Feb. 1940 says "She came to Kansas with her parents in the summer of
1866. "The trip from Indiana was made in a covered wagon, being over six weeks on the
road."
Daniel made a mortgage on 24 Oct. 1866 on 148 acres of land in Centropolis
Township, Franklin Co., Kansas for $1.000.00. On the left margin of page 92 there is a
notation, "Recorded May 14, 1870, Received on the within, payment in full, H.F. Shelden,
Register of Deeds", and signed by Charles Homing. He purchases another 80 acres. On
the same day he sold 94 of the original 148 to a cousin, Joseph Barnhart for $2,500.00.
On 10 November 1902, Daniel made a hand written will, witnessed by H.H. Bliss
and W.S. Wilburn. Dniel's signature on the will is very shakey and probably indicates the
state of his health. There is an endorsement on the second page. "filed january 5, 1905,
L.L. Crittendon, Probate Judge. All eight of his living children were named on his will
along with the residence of all the children
Daniel was a minister and elder in the Church of the Brethren, and was active in
the church everywhere he settled. His obituary published in the "The Gospel Messenger"

'VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�20 January 1906 says that "he was elected to the office of Deacon in 1846 and to the
Ministry in 1884, and advanced to the Eldership in 1855".
'
Daniel was very active in the Brethren Church. In a chapter on the history of the
Roanne church in Wabash County, Indiana, the "Roanne Church of the Brethren Survey
Committee Report of 1990" says that Daniel Barnhart was a pioneer minister serving in
the free ministry. His name is on the Deed, dated 23 Jan. 1864, for the original church
property on Squirrel Creek, the predecessor of the Roanne church. I have a copy of that
deed and pictures of the ruins of the old church. Daniel was active in the church in
Franklin Co., Kansas. "History of the Brethren Church in Kansas", by Elmer LeRoy
Crain, says that shortly after the civil war Brethren moved into the area. "In 1866, Elder
Daniel Barnhart moved from Wabash County, Indiana into what later became Eight Mile."
Daniels cousin, Daniel B. Barnhart moved from Virginia to Centropolis Township in
1872. He was also member of the Brethren Church. Both being named Daniel Barnhart,
has created some confusion as to which one Was with the Eight Mile Old Order Church
and which was with the Appanoose Church. I believe Daniel B was with the Appanoose
Church, as the Church was built on a part of his property.

Isaac
Isaac, the third son of Daniel; and Anna was born 6 March 1844 in Floyd Co.,
Virginia. He would have been about six years old when the family left Virginia and
moved to Indiana. He is listed with his parents in the 1950 and 1960 Census, sin Wabash
Co., IN.
He married Lucinda Peffley, , the seventh child of Samuel and Katherine Peffley.
She was born 29 Oct 1849 in Goshen, Elkhart County, Indiana .. Goshen is about 50 miles
from Roanne where Isaac Jived. This is not a long distance to go courting to day, but in the
mid l860's how did young farm boy get that far ~way from home. His ol~er brother
Abraham is married to Lovina, Lucinda's older sister. If he met her at his brothers
wedding bow did their older siblings meet. Isaacs father Daniel was the brother of John
Barnhart who married Mary Peffley, the sister of Lucinda and Lovinas father. It is
possible that they met at some family or church event.
Isaac and Lucinda were the parents of eleven children. Infant daughter 22 Feb.
1867; Elle May 1868; Danie] Madison; 14 Dec. 1870; Samuel Washington 17 Dec. 1872;
Sarah Elizabeth 4 Feb 1875; Jesse Hennan 27 Mar 1877; Oliver Emmanuel 27 Jan 1849;
Albert Marion 4 Sep 1882; AJice IO Mar 1885; Thomas Jefferson 6 Jan 1887 and Cora Z.
Nov 1895. The infant daughter died the day she was born, Daniel died 2 Sept. 1894 and
Cora died 25 Feb 1896. All three children are buried in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery in
CentroploJis Township, Franklin Co., Kansas.
Isaac and Lucinda did not seem to do we11 in Kansas. Shortly after arriving in
Kansas they made a mortgage for $230.00 for 80 acres on 6 Jan. 1868. There are thirteen
other entries of this and other property transactions i.11 the Deed and Mortgage books in
Kansas for Isaac, the last being 23 Dec. 1896.

In the late I890's Isaac and Lucinda and all their family moved to Towner
County, North Dakota. "Towner County N. Dakota Families" says that they were pioneer
settlers of the county, arriving in 1898. The first listing for Isaac in the land records of
Towner Co. N.D. gave mortage for 160.77 acres for $2,500.00. This property was later
sold to their son Thomas. Thomas, with his family, stayed here until around 1920.

There are three listings for the family in the 1910 Census. Lucinda and daughter
Elizza were listed with son Oliver, with Oliver as Head of Household. Isaac was
enumerated as head of household, with two sons and a daughter in dwelling # 146, Trier
Twsp, Cavalier Co., ND. Samuel and his wife and son are listed in dwelling 147, same
township and county. In the mid and late 1890's until the early I900's, there was an
abundance of rain, for the next years there was a serious draught. the Wheat crops failed
and people were unable to survive here. The family started to drift away. Mostly to the
East bank of the Columbia River, By 1910 most were living in the area of Wenatchee,
Washington. Some bung on. Son, Thomas Jefferson was enumerated in Towner County
in the 1920 Census, Isaac moved to East Wenatchee, Wash. he bought a plot of 5.86 acres
on the east bank of the Columbia River, where he established an apple orchard. Isaac died
in 24 Dec. 1913 in East Wenatchee, Douglas Co., Washington. He is buried in the
cemetery next to the Sunnyslope Church of the Brethren. After his death Lucinda leased
the orchard out on a farm lease. Lucinda died 26 August 1935 and is buried in the same
cemetery as her husband.
Samuel

The fourth child, of Isaac and Lucinda, Samuel Washington, was born 17 Dec.
1872 in Centropolis Township, Franklin Co., Kansas. He died 1 June 1913 in a logging
accident in Kirkland, King Co., WA. He was married to Lillie Mable Shadd, born 26 Feb
1869. They were married by a Probate Judge in the courthouse in Ottawa, Franklin Co.,
Kansas, on 28 September 1892. The marriage record has very little information on it. It
gives their names, the county of residence and their ages. Samuel gave his age as 20 and
Lillie gave hers as 19. LiJJie cheated a little on her age, 22 would be the correct age. I
guess it is alright for a lady to fib a little on her age on her marriage application ..
I do not know where she was born. Census records for 1900,1910 and 1920 give
place birth as Kansas. Her son Earl wrote on a record of the family that she was born In
Kansas City Missouri. There are other indications that she was born in Arkansas. On her
death certificate the information provided by her son Earl gives Missouri as her place of
birth. No names are given for her parents. Lillie Mable died 15 Feb. 1969 in Auburn,
King Co. WA., fifteen days before her hundredth birthday.
Samuel and Lillie were the parents of five children; Edward Earl born 3 Mar
1897; Frederick Merle born 31May1899; Alpha Marie born 28 Mar. 1901; Bertha Helen
born 27 Mar 1905 and Edna Lee born 6 Aug 1908. Frederick died 13 Apr 1900 and is
buried in the Zion Cemetery, Zion Township, Towner Co., ND.

The fust son was born in Topeka, Kansas. They were probably renting a farm as
there are no Mortgage or Deed records for them in Franklin or Douglas counties. In the
late 1890s His father Isaac and all the young children, including Samuel and Lillie moved
to Towner County, N. Dakota. It was probably 1897 or 1998 as Earl their first child was
born in Topeka, KS. 3 Mar. 1897.
'
'
Samuel filed a homestead application in Trier Township, Cavalier Co., N. Dakota
on 24 June 1898. This was very complicated procedure. I Have copies of 17 different
forms that were found in the envelope that was filed in the Devils Lake, N. Dakota Land
Office. One form dated 29 June, 1901,"Homestead Proof ---Testimony of Claimant"
Ques:4 asks for a description of the buildings on the property. Samuel described it as "
frame house 10x12 ft, with a frame and sod addition 12xl3 ft. frame sod stable 12X 16
ft." Ten acres were fenced and about 30 acres were cultivated the first season and 50 acres
the second season.
From this point on the transaction be comes hard to understand. On the 8th day
July1901 Samuel and Lillie gave a Mortgage on this property to J. H. Mccullough. The
property is described, but there is no mention of the doJlar amount of the Mortgage.
S~muel did not hold title to this property at that rime. August 7, 1901 Samuel commuted
this Homestead application to a cash entry, and made a payment of $200.00. to the Land
Office in Devil's Lake. I would presume that the money came from the Mortgage,
h~wever, He did not own the property at the time he made the mortgage. On 15 Oct. 1904
this mortgage was transferred to M. L. McCullough. This property was sold at a Sheriff's
Sale on 5 Dec 1905, for $118. 84.
I do know that in the ]ate 1890's the precipitation in this area was very good and
wheat growing was prosperous. Tue next few years were dry, and farming became
unprofitable. Railroad Land Agents selJing land along the rite of way claimed that though
this was dry land, there would soon be adequate precipitation as "every one knows that
rain follows the plow".
The family was listed in the 1900 Census in Trier Twsp., Cavalier County, North
Dakota. I do not know the whereabouts of the family until 1907 when they are listed in
the Seattle City Directory, there are listings in 1909, 1910 and 1911. They are Jisted in the
1910 Census in King Co., wA. There is deed recorded on 6 May 1911 for 5 acres of land
for $600.00 in what is now Bellevue. This ]and is now part of the site of the Bellevue
Community ColJege. This is where my mother grew up. When I was growing up, this
location was far out in the country. Now it is an area of fine homes.
Samuel died of injuries received in a Jogging accident 1 June 1913, when my
mother was four years old, so I never knew my grandfather. LiJlie lived until 11 Feb.
1969, fifteen days before her 100111 birthday. I used to spend time every summer with her
in Bellevue. I treasure my memories of her.

�GENEALOGICAL QUERIES: Each member is entitled to one (1) to three (3) free fill
word query (does not include your name and address) per issue as space pennits. The typist will
not compose queries for you, so please make your query as clear and specific as possible so that
others can understand them and have a chance to help you. Each query should include name,
dates, and location to identify the problem. Please CAPITALIZE surnames - is it Mary Smith
JONES (single) or Mary SMITH JONES (maiden &amp; married name). Do not abbreviate, we will. If
not typed, please PRINT - some written queries we have not been able to read. Queries for nonmembers are 5¢ (cents) per word not including your name and address. Queries must be
received prior to the 1st of the month preceding publication.

FAMILY REUNION, PUBLICATION OF BOOK, NEWSLETTERS, ETC.:
Limited to 60 words, not including your name and address. We cannot edit a full page down to 60
words- so send the notice as you want it printed. These notices will be put in as space pennits.
Members will be given priority in publishing these notices.

MATERIAL FOR PUBLICATION: We welcome articles, records , etc. for publications.
The material when received may not be used in following issue, but in a future issue. If a large
amount of material is sent, it may take a while to publish because we try to have a variety of
material in each issue. (1} READY FOR PUBLICATION (which the editor loves). Please type
using a carbon ribbon or dark ribbon and CLEAN KEYS. Use 8 1/2" x 11 " paper, single space, with
a minimum margin on ALL sides of 1 inch. Center your title. Be sure to include your name,
address, and date (year) on the document. If not typed for publication, please PRINT PLAINLY some articles that have been.hand written we have not been able to read, or those that are typed
with all caps are difficult to read. PLEASE read material over before mailing and double check all
dates. (2) GIVE SOURCE OF MATERIAL. Original documents - where found, type of record,
page number, etc., or, if known, who now has the document in their possession. We CANNOT
PRINT material from printed sources unless we have written permission from the publisher, which
you MUST FURNISH. We must have source of material to give credit to the person who has done
the work. (3) DEADLINE for submitting material should be at least two months before date of
publication. (4) PLEASE do not send material that you want returned- send a photocopy to us
instead. That way it won't get lost, as letters do get misplaced, when passed from one person to
another.

SU~NAME INDEX: Information will include name (given and surname), place
(l?cat1on at time of date), Date (birth, death, marriage, or where living at the date
given). 'WASKEY, William Christopher - Montgomery Co, VA - 1900-1 o death" If this
data takes more than one line or the spouse is included on the same line, it will
count as two names. The limit is 10 names. The surname index is published in the
August issue.

VAN cannot vouch for the accuracy of the material submitted to us and
printed by us. The 'translation' of the original
document may not be correct - get a copy of the
original document, if possible, to see if you
agree with the printed version.

Dear Fellow Members,
OOPS ... We goofed!! Somehow the first page (#84) of the article " On the Trail of the
Dickersons of Virginia and Indiana" was turned over so the blank back side was what
printed. Since every VAN is missing this page it was decided that it would be best to
simply reprint the entire article in this issue. The Society apologies to the author,
member Marilynn Dickerson, and to the membership for this unfortunate mistake .
Speaking of the VAN. We have little left to print. Those of us who put the VAN together
are always on the look out for material to publish. In the past we have relied on items
submitted by members along with material from the Charles Burton Collection, which
the Society has the right to publish. Once this material is used there will be nothing left
to publish in the VAN and hence we will cease publication. Perhaps some of you have
transcribed some Virginia records for your personal use or maybe you would like to tell
the readers about your research on your family. PLEASE, PLEASE consider sending
us material for the VAN. Help us keep publishing.
A very special event will take place October 18th here in Roanoke. Your Society along
with several other groups is sponsoring "Family History Celebration Day" at the
Roanoke Public Library. Mark your calendar and make plans to attend. Please see
page 92 for more information.
Finally, I would like to mention two people who have left the area. Long time member,
Don Martindale and his wife have moved to Arkansas to be closer to family. Don
served the Society in many functions, most notable computerizing the membership
record s, designing the surname interest list and as publications chairperson. Elaine
Powers, Virginia Room Librarian, accepted a position at the Edward Via Virginia College
of Osteopathic Medicine in Blacksburg, Virginia. She will be in charge of medical library
at this new facility. We will miss them both.
Happy Hunting,

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�ON THE TRAJL OF THE DICKERSONS OF VIRGINLA .J:\.N D IN OLA.NA
On July 16, 1814 four young Dick erson men of Montgom ery County . V 1rgm1 a . and o n e o f V'1es t
Virginia , journeyed to Christiansburg to be mus1 e r e d m to th e a rmy . War had been decla r ed
in June of 1812, and the United States was at war w ith Gre at Bntam fo r the se c o n d time.

The five joined the 4lh Regiment under the command of Lieut. Col. Tho m as H. W o oding . The y
served as infantry privates in Captain James Hog e's Compan y o f Virginia M il111 a. and w e re
s tationed at a camp &lt;in the rear of G ordon Battery at Norfolk, V 1rgm1 a .
Griffith, John and Leonard returned to their famili es, but Re e d did no t live to s ee lus y o ung
wife, Susan, and their small son, Wiggenton, again . Nothing is known ab o ut Tho mas .
Griffith had a young growing family. He and Rebecc a Thompson had m arried m 1801. Their
children were: James T., born in 1802, Elijah in 1804. Mary in 1806 and Gr iffit h Jr. in 1811 .
Reed, named for the deceased cousin, was born m 181 6. Mathew, John and Sarah w e r e born
in the n ext seven years. 1
Griffith and Rebeccca were Dorman Dickerson Jr' s great great grandparen ts. Their son,
Reed, was his great grandfather . According to the census , R ee d and h is brothers and sisters
were born in Montgomery County, Virginia, in the area now called Floyd . The fam ily sett led
in Hendricks County, Indiana sometime after 1823. Their fir st purchase of land was made on
November 7, 1825 in Center Township. 2

~

Many of their neighbors came from the same area of Virginia . Sarah Dodd , wife of John ,
thought to be a sister of Griffith and a cousin, Andrew, were living close by. Other neighbors
were from families that had lived close to the Dickersons in the D anville , Virginia area, when
the Dickerson family lived there b efore 1770. The se people se ttled the area of Hendricks
County that soon had a young town called Danville, Indiana .
Griffith Sr., and his son, Elijah, died in November 1845. The settlement of G riffith's estate
named his wife and children and the children of Elijah, who must h ave passed a way first. The
son, James , who had married Perme lia Reed in September of 1825, inherite d land from his
fat her, tho u gh he had stayed in Virginia.
In 1850 Reb ecca was living in Vermilion County, Illinois with her daught er , Mary, calle d Polly,
and her son-in-law, Ruel Dodson, a farmer and Baptist minister. Rebecca a pplied for bounty
land, which she became entitled to because of h e r husband's service in the War of 1812. The
law was passed in September 1850, and she rece ived 80 acres, but appare ntly was not
notified of the final registration of the land until August 1855. ·
Bounty Land Warrant 42720 for 80 acres was located on the wz NW' 4 of Section l 0 in T21N of
Rl2 in Illinois, and registered in the name of Ruel Dodson at the Danville land office on the
28th of January 1853.
This registration was not without considerable communication between Milton Lesley, Justice
of the Peace at Danville, Illinois, and the War D epartment. There had b een two applications
for bounty land in the name of Griffith Dickerson. One had been made from G entry County.
Missouri, and it seems that the Vvar Department c ould only find one Griffith that had served in
the War of 1812.
Howe ver, a Griffith and Hezekiah Dickerson were in Captain David Watson's Company of
Virginia Militia from March to Aug u st 1813. The y were from Louisa County. Another G riffith
served in Hardaway's 351h Infantry, and received bounty land January 21 , 18 19. He must have

'VIRGINIA-APPALACHIAN NOTES

�served in the Regular Azmy for the duration of the war, and received bounty land under the
18 !2ac ts .
It took three trips to the National Azchives to uncover the information that has answered so
many questions. The first trip enabled me to find all the Dicke.rson men who had served in the
s ame r e giment. At that time I was able to hold thei.r pay stubs in my hand. I learned that they
had been paid $8 a month, and that Reed had given power of attorney to his commanding
officer before he died.

A t that time I was interested in people living in Floyd County since a neighbor looked so
much like my husband's aunts, and we found that she had a Dickerson grandmother who had
lived in Floyd County. 1 would later find that I had held the pay stubs of the great great
grandiather we were searching for.
Later information came to me from a relative of our neighbor, Russell Dickerson, of Boone's
Mill, Va. A letter had been received in 1923 with information, though scanty, on the young
men from Floyd County whose widows, had received bounty land.
S ix pag e s if unindexed Bounty Land Records were brought home from the National Archives
by Diane Good . They concerned the applications for bounty land of Griffith Dickerson of
Gentry County, Missouri. He was declared a Fraud because of the dissimilarity of his
signatures. He signed his name at one time, then signed with his mark, later because of poor
e yesight and fraility.
My later visit requesting the same informatioon on the same serviceman unearthed 19 pages
if revealing information, not seen by Diane. Rebecca was described as an old lady of 73 • of
honest simplicity; that she lived 12-15 miles up country from Danvillle. and that she
r e membered her husband had two relatives of the same name , but did not know if t~ey were

· ·cive Baptlst
m
.
.
Church , who married Griffith and Rebecca, was included. He remembered the marriage m
180 l, but he had kept no records. This information completed the picture of these people
who lived so long ago.

�Black Genealogy and Black History Go Hand In Hand
By ELAINE POWE RS

Black genealogy presents some interesting challenges when compared to Euro-American
ancestor bunting. Slavery and segregation and the 1870 stonewall are incidents of black history that
often create stumbling blocks for genealogists. The lack of records and documentation are
handicaps, but once you learn how to use what is available it is amazing what can be found. You
simply cannot expect to have much success if you are African American and don't study black
history while searching for your ancestors.
Serious searchers need to interview, interview, interview a ll living family members and
relatives. Some information you receive through the oral tradition will never be proved, but you
should collect what you can and document it because if you don't it wi ll be lost forever. Learn to do
research through guidebooks, membership in a genealogy society and pub! ished histories on African
Americans and on your county, state of birth and residence. "Black Roots" (New York: Simon &amp;
Schuster, 2001) by Tony Burroughs is but one example of a good handbook. Look for others at the
library. Tony Burroughs is a noted black genealogist and teacher at Chicago State University who
has lectured and written widely on genealogy. His website is www. tony burro ughs.com. Tapes of
his presentations with titles like "Jumping the Broom: African American Marriage Records,"
"Forty Acres and A Mule: Hidden Land Records," "Freedman's Bureau Research and Researching
Pullman Porters can be ordered from www.audiotapes.com. The Afro-American Historical and
Genealogical Society Inc. (www.rootsweb.com/%7Emdaahgs) headquartered in Washington, D.C.,
has two chapters in Virginia. The AAHGS-Hampton Roads Chapter in Newport News is very active.

Unfortunately, there is no Roanoke chapter. Someone want to start one?

Grandmother was Austin from Austioville
Roanoke native Samuel Hayes Ill, who first became interested in his family's history in 1977
after Alex Haley published ''Roots, 0 began bis search by asking his grandmothers and other relatives
about the past. According to Sam, both grandmothers have remarkable memories, and he used their
stories to piece together the past. Next, he got copies of existing marriage and death records and
viewed census records. Social Security records revealed information about his grandfathers. Sam
works at the Roanoke Higher Education Center, the same building his father and bis grandfather
worked in as railroad employees. While Sam did his research primarily in the Virginia Room, with
a few trips to the state library in ruchmond and to the National Archives, bis cousin visited the
courthouse in Cumberland County where one branch of the family originated.
Sam said that besides the census and vital records he used at local and state facilities, he
found the Mormon Website most helpful, especially being able to search the Social Security Index
as well as the Family History Center's version of the 1880 census, which has more complete
indexing than the National Archives' Soundex.

His research tip is to look for all possible speliings of a name. He found the surname Holmes
spelled various_ly: Holmes, Homes, etc. He also found out that one grandmother, whose maiden
name was Austin, was from Austinville in Wythe County where Stephen F. Austin of Texas fame
was born.
"And I don't know the connection between why they had the same last name but I have to
believe there's some kind of slave connection there, 11 Sam said.
Slaves, Free blacks listed differently
If you are looking for African American ancestors in Virginia or another slave state you will
want to find out if they were slaves. It makes a difference whether they can be found in the census
records before 1870.

Free blacks are found in the free schedules but slaves were not included in these schedules.
However, separate slave schedules do exist for the years 1850 and 1860. Slaves are found under the
name of the slave owner by age group and sex, not under the individual slave's name.
After working your way through family members to local resources, then to state and federal
records, you are ready to compare your "organized" original research with printed works. There are
four good sources for published African American family histories and genealogies: "Index to the
Joumal of the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society Quarterly: Issues of 1980-1990"
compiled by Barbara Walker; "Generations Past A Select List of Sources for Afro-American
Genealogical Research" edited by Sandra Lawson; "African American Family Histories and Related
Works in the Library of Congress" (update for Generations Past and found on the Web at
http://lcweb.loc.gov/rr/genealogy/big_guid/aframer); and family histories in the "Negro History
Bulletin" (1942-1978); and "Family History Library Bibliography of African American Sources"
compiled by Marie Taylor.
Other local resources
Don't forget to check out the resources in the Virginia Room, which include census records.
E laina Loritts extracted the black population in two-thirds of the counties in the 1850 Virginia
Census and several published volumes of registers of free blacks in Virginia.
Also be aware
there is a Family History Center at 6311 Wayburn Drive, Salem. The Gainsboro branch of Roanoke
Public Libraries has the largest collection of black history books in Roanoke, named after Virginia
~- Lee who over a period of 40-plus years as librarian at the branch put together the materials almost
smgle-handedly. The Harrison Museum of African American Culture has additional artifacts and
resources highlighting African American heritage. The library at the Booker T. Washington National
Monument in Hardy can also be a rich resource.
Elaine Powers is librarian in the Roanoke City Library's Virginia room. This column

"Along Those Lines"
Alternate Resources for Confederate Soldiers
George G. Morgan Ancestry.com 11/27/2002
One of the puzzles I have faced for years is that there are no military
se rvice records at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)
for my great-grandfather who served in the Confederate Army. Yes, I filled
out the NATF Form 86 to obtain military service records and received a
response indicating that no records were found. In desperation, I even
fil led out an NATF Form 85 thinking that by some miracie a Confederate
soldi er ' s record s might have been misfiled among the military pension
records . Si lly me! There would certainly be no Federal pension records for
a Confede rat e soldier. However , hope springs eternal and desperate times
call for desperate measures .
So , if I couldn't locate the military service records through NARA, where
could I locate alternate records to help prove my great-grandfather really
ser ved in the Confederate Army? In "Along Those Lines .
" t his week,
let 's explore some alternate record sources to help document your
Confederate Army ancestor whose records are MIA .
The Facts of the Case
My_ great-grandfather, Green Berry Holder, is a person I've discussed in
this col umn before . He was probably my ancestor with the most remarkable
personality : a soldier first postmaster at two sites, merchant , farmer,
I
the
entrepreneur, businessman, real estate speculator, representative in
Georgia state 1-egislature, -bank director, insurance salesman, husband, and
fat h er of twelve .
0

•

I know he was born near Lawrenceville, Gwinnett County, Georgia, on 22
December 1845, and he d ied in Rome , Floyd County, Georgia, on 18 June
1914 . He was the second of two sons born to Jesse and Hepsevah/Hepsebah
Langley Holder. His brother , John Thomas Holder, was born 30 August 1840.
The £amily unit appears on the 1850 and 1860 Federal censuses.
Family legend has i t that John enlisted in the Confederate Army and that
Green Berry enlisted at the same time . It also was said that Green Berry
was p resent at Appomattox when Gene ral Robert E. Lee surrendered on 9
April 1865. As I said there are no military service records at NARA for
Green Berry, so how c~n I prove he was or was not in the Confederate Army?
.
Looking For Evidence
.
Since family stories often contain at least a grain of truth, I decided to
check other potential sources of military records . My first stop was the
Georgia Department of Archives and History in Atlanta to determine what
they might have on file for Green Berry Holder. Again, I came up blank and
began to wonder if the family tradition was a merely a family myth.
However , I knew I couldn' t stop looking.
Since I couldn ' t find information on Green Berry, I decided to sidestep to
his brother and see what r could discover. Sometimes this parallel
research pays big dividends , and this time was no exception.
First, I located two books that included information about his service.

Artillery battalion . He was mustered into the Confede rate service near

at Appomattox . After parti c ipating in numerous engagemen ts in east

Tennessee and southwest Virginia, among them the ba t tle of Wytheville ,

General Hunter that was threatening Lynchburg in the spring of 1864, and
after the defeat of the enemy , campaigned down the Shenandoah Valley as

turned over their guns at Wayne ' s Gap, and went to Richmond, where they
ere on duty with the heavy artillery . During the siege of Richmond and

Decembe r following made his home in Floyd County ."
From this information, I now have both a confirmation of details of his
service , and more information to compare with John Thomas Holder's pension
application . I also have records of specific places on which to conduct
mor e excensive searches.
Finally , I discovered a copy of Green Berry Holder's original application
to the United Daughte rs of the Confederacy for a Confederate Cross of
Honor, dated 28 Ma y 1900. The document was among materials in the vertical
files of the Rome-Floyd County Public Library in Rome, Georgia . The
application was endorsed by the officers of the United Con federate
Veterans , Camp No. 368 . A booklet titled " Crosses &amp; Medals Awarded by the
Georgi.a Division , UDC," Volume II , page 210 , also in the vertical files at
that li.brary , includes the following listing :
Holder , Green Berry Co . D, 9th Bttn, GA Artillery
Southern Cross of Honor Bestowed 1912 in Rome by Chapter 28
I have since found information in other histories of the period,
particularly local histo r ies, newspaper stories , and in Green Berry
Holder's obituary stating that he was, in fact , a Confederate veteran . At
last, I have a sense that the family tradition is truth and not fiction!
Not Al.ways There, But.

You ·may not have the success that I had, but it certainly is worth
looking . More has been published concerning the U.S . Civil War than any
other armed conflict in history. Battles have been recounted from many
perspectives and , beginning in the late 1860s , regimental histories,
biographies , and compilations have been generated in abundance . You never
know whe r e your next lead will be discovered . And while there may be some
fact ual discrepancies from source to source , the essential collection of
evidence indicates that Green Berry Holder was, in fact, a Confederate
veteran. Keep searching for your own veteran's information . It ' s out there
somewhere .
Happy hunting!

The following is from "Old Time News &amp; Newspapers in Marion County, MO

Newspapers &amp; Genealogy Research
Every genealogist and family researcher has their own favorite sources for infonnation. An often
overlooked window into the past is use of newspapers in genealogical research. Some
newspapers date back to the 1830's and are found in state archives, libraries, and historical
societies. For example, the State Historical Society ofMissouri has an excellent newspaper
collection. A Catalogue of Missouri Newspapers on Microfilm is available for $10.
The Missouri Historical Society, Jefferson Memorial Building Forest Park, St. Louis, MO
63112- 1099 has obituary clippings dating back more than 100 years--mostly from eastern
Missouri newspapers and an almost complete collection of the Missouri Republican, which
began in 1808 and the Missouri Gazette, which was published until 1919.
Of all the sources of research material, nothing can compare with old newspapers. If yo_u want to
get a good feel for the lives and times of the families you're investigating, consider reading some
old newspapers. Further information on using newspapers for genealogical information can be
found by c)jck.ing this link: http://www.rootsweb.com/-momarion/newstopic.htm
Preserving Newspaper Articles &amp; Clippings

Dissolve a Milk of Magnesia tablet in a quarter cup of club soda overnight. Pour into a pan large
enough to hold the flattened clipping. Soak the clipping for one hour, then pat dry. Do not move
the clipping until completely dry. Estimated life: 200 years
Steps for Preserving Documents

The basic premise for preservation of any clipping or photo is simple. Air and light do damag~.
Keep the documents enclosed, preferably in sealed archival quality page protectors, then keep m
a box (archival quality storage box).

DO NOT LAMINA TE! !! The glue will eventually start to eat away at the document.
Newspapers (but not photos!) must be deacidified, before you enclose them in plastic.
(Note - newspaper ink needs one fell year to dry, so do not seal clippings from the past 365 days)
•

Enclose in an archival quality page protector (if using regular page protectors, purchase
those with greatest thickness of plastic.)

•

Label on the outside of the page protector.

•

Store collection in a box, away from the light

Louisiana Land T itle
A New Orleans lawyer sought an FHA loan for a client. He was told the loan would be
granted if be could prove satisfactory title to a parcel of pro11ertv being offered as
collateral. The title to the property dated back to 1803. which took the Lawver three
months to track down. After sending the information to the FHA, he received the
following reply (actual letter): "Upon review of your letter adjoining vour client's loan
application. we note that the request is supported bv an Abstract of T itle. While we
compliment the able manner inwhicb vou have prepared and presented the
application, we must point out that you have onlv cleared title to the proposed
collateral property back to 1803. Before final approval can be accorded, it will be
necessarv to clear the title back to its origin." Annoyed, the lawyer responded as
follows (actual letter):
"Your letter regarding title in Case No. 189156 bas been received. I note that you wish
to have t he title extended further than the 194 years covered by th e present
application. I was unaware that any educated person in thiscountry, particularly those
working in the property area. would not know that Louisiana was purchased, bv the
U.S., from France in 1803, the vear of origin identified in our application. F or the
edification of uninformed FHA bureaucrats, the title to th e land prior to U.S.
ownership was obtained from France, which had acquired it by Right of Conquest
from Spain. The land came into the possession of Spain by Right of Discovery made in
the year 1492 by a sea captain named Christopher Columbus, who had been granted
the privilege of seeking a new route to India by the Spanish monarch, Isabella. The
good queen, Isabella. being pious woman and almost as careful about titles as the FHA,
took the precaution of securing the blessing of the Pope before she sold her jewels to
finance Columbus' expedition. Now the Pope. as I'm sure you may know, is the
emissary of Jesus Christ. the Son of God, and God, it is commonly accepted, created
this world. Therefore. I believe it is safe to presume that God also made that part of the
world called Louisiana. God, therefore. would be the owner of origin and Bis origins
date back, to before the beginning of time. the world as we know it AND the FHA. I
bope that you find God's ori&amp;inaJ claim to be satisfactory. Now, may we have our
cotton picking loan?"
The loan was approved.

Dear Fellow Members,
Spring has ar~ived. It's time to put thin~s from the past winter in .o rd e r as a start to "spring
cleaning". This goes for you genealogical r~search too. I say this because of something that
happened to me recently. I placed a query 1n my hometown n ewspape r in an effort to connect
one of my surnames to a local Civil War hero. I feel that all th e G O ETTELs in Syracuse NY are
connected but I don't know how. I received an answer straight away from a person wh~ had
done some research on the surname. Of course he asked me a lot of questions and in some
cases I could not provide the answer because my notes were in terrible shape . VERY
embarrassing!! The connection still hasn't been ma_de. Th e moral of this tail is; just as you
straighten and clean up your house, do the same with your family history research.
Thank you to member Marilynn Dickers?n for the ~rticle she submitted for this issue. Also to
Gene Swartzell for typing up the mortality an_d agncultu~e schedules. We are running out of
material for The VAN. Without items to publish there will be no VAN. Please consider sending
something for publication.
In this issue the society is ~nnouncing ~ special event plan~e.d for O?tober. October is Family
History Month and the society, along wrth several other partrc1pants, 1s sponsoring a family
history day Saturday, October 18th. Please see the announcement in this issue for more details.
This will be my last year as society president. ~yself and ~everal other officers have served
longer then we planned to. In order for the sC?crety to cont1~ue .we need people willing to stand
for office this November. In September we will_ form a n?!11 1nating committee to seek
candidates. Please give some thought to holding a positron. If you are interested, please
contact me or one of the other officers .
Finally, as of May 1 sth my e-mail address has changed. I have noted the new address below
my signature.

Happy Hunting ,

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Family Bibles Rich Resource For Name Connections
b y ELAJNE POWERS

The Virginia Room has a small collection of fami ly Bibles and a growing collecti o n of pages
copied from family Bib1e records. The most well known B ibl e in the co ll ection is the John c.
Brickey Bible, donated in 1983 by J.W. Gontennan Jr. of St. Lo uis, Mo. John Compton Brickey of
Catawba Valley was the original donor. In .t he ~ast year or so, at least five pe ople have requested
copies from the Brickey Bible. The latest mquuy came from Nettie G rim es of Berger, Mo. , who
has been searching for a connection between her ancestor Luci nda Toadvine a nd the Brickeys.
Excerpts from the mail ~xchanges with ~rimes show how family research develops. The
first mail from Grimes asked copies of aII the fam ily record pages from the B ibl e. She said she had
been researching for a long time and had a ."v~ry poor ~op~" of som e of th e pages from a Brickey
Family Ledger. The Brickeys recorded family mformatwn m ~~e ba~k of their store ledger I sent
Ms. Grimes the Brickey Bible pages an~ told her I was not ~amil1ar with the Brickey ledger she had
mentioned She also asked for infonnat1on on. Compt?ns. Smee she had been looking for year, I was
cwious how she just now discovered the Bnckey B~ble. I also promised to look for references for
her in the library's several issues of a Compton family newsletter cal1 ed "Comptonology.,,
Grimes replied: I had been l?o~~g a ~~od .while for documentation f?r my ancestor Lucinda
(surname unknown) who had marned some W1!son (the parents of my Silas Harrison Wilson). I
only knew my dad's grandmother had hbeehn a ;'thilson. IS~nl ally fo~nd her family on local census

Wilson so I began to trace
records. Idisco

him on marriage and census records. You cant nnagme ow many ~ilsons there are until you begin
to research them. Luckily, I happened onto a fellow researcher, Dianne, who is out of Silas' sister,
Mary Minerva Wilson. She was a ~eat help. The c~~s_us where I began searchi ng was the 1850
Missouri, Crawford County, one and it only ha~ first m1tia~s! Aft~r detennining that the S. Wilson
male must be my Silas, I began to look for his M .M. Wilson sister who turned out to be Mary
Minerva Wilson.
I had wondered about the 1825 Washington C?unty, Missouri, ~arriage record of a Lucinda
Brickey and Aquilla Wilson. Dianne andhI begadn tdohp1e:etthog~ther Lu.cu~da's family and learned she

on the marriage record (Jeremiah Bnc ey . ven en, you won er. .. ts iny Lucinda THE Lucinda
or not.
We did figure out that Lucinda Brickey married Aquilla .Wils.on and had several children,
and then he died and she married some Odle. We found their children with her on the 1850
Crawford census, with the older Wilson children in the home, too. She was a widow a second time
on that census.
Then, we had a marriage record for L ucie OdJe marryin g a Henry Morris Toadvine. Her
children, thank goodness, were with her on subsequent census with the third husband. Then, I found
a record that the Lucinda Toadvine was buried in Lost Creek Ce1netery in Washington County. I

found her stone broken into three pieces and under briars and yucca plants. It said her name:
Lucinda Toadvine ...Erected by S.H. Wilson for bis mother and gave her birth date and age at
death. Another breakthrough. Now, I still needed more documentation tying my Lucinda to the
Lucinda Brickey of the marriage record.
While I was talking to a man who posts lots of genealogical info online, he mentioned that
he had some copies of papers from the Roanoke Library, and he would look to see if my Lucinda
was in there. He also had copies of the ledger pages that list Lucinda... her husband Aquilla
Wilson ... their children ... bis death... her remarriage to Tompkins Odle and their children. I was so
overcome when I learned that news, I wept. The Bible Records helped establish my Lucinda's
paternity. Sounds like someone on Montel Williams, I guess.
Oh, another thing .... my Silas bad applied for a Veteran's Pension for injuries from the Civil
War. One of the depositions taken was by a notary public that stated Silas had brought in a tattered
family Bible with all the children's names in it. The Notary had typed them all down and put them
into the deposition and that was the first time I saw Silas Harrison Wilson's children.
His pension papers also listed his second wife, Annie Mercer Montgomery Wilson. Wow,
I w~uld recommend getting a man's pension file, too. There in it was the record of his children
copied from that old tattered Bible. -Nettie Grimes
Always need more Bible records

Other Bibles in the Virginia Room collection include two Nicoll fainily Bibles and two Garst
family Bibles, along with the original family record pages (in German) from the Moser family Bible.
The Virginia Room welcomes the donation of family Bibles or of photocopies of the records pages
from the Bible.
Family Bible records are important because they may be the only sources of infom1ation
available for ancestors who lived before vital records were required by law. In Virginia, there are
no vital records before 1853.
If you locate a family Bible you should photocopy or photograph the ~ntire recor~ on
permanent (acid-free) paper. Be sure to include the title page and date of publicatlo~ o~the B1bl~.
Be wary of records with dates earlier than when the Bible was printed. If the mam title page is
missing, look for one in the New Testament.
If no title page exists, look for any publishing information that might help identi~ the edition
of the Bible or ask a reference librarian to help. Also, always store a copy of the Bible records
somewhere other than with the book.

�Are you aware that the United States Census microfilms of various schedules
can provide information not found elseware? The earliest most states kept vita l records
was the later half of the 19th century and those were spotty. The following Mortality

CONFIRM ALL RESEARCH
It seems we personally have to confirm all research. I received a GEDCOM from a cousin who
had downloaded from the Ancestral File. I sent her a correction consisting of a birth certificate
number and information, and included the documentation for it. I then asked her to resend her
GEDCOM so I would know she had made the correction before she sent it on to other family
members, etc. She sent me the GEDCOM and lo and behold, her mistake was stil1 there.
Unfortunately, she had included the documentation I had sent as the documentation on
her mistaken information. It made it look as if her information was the documented, correct
information! It served as a great reminder to me that we need to be very careful when accepting
information from anyone.

WHERE AND WHAT SCHOOLS
The 3 school pictures which follows were given to me and I would like to know where the schools were
located. l had the pictures enlarged and located my aunt, Janie Emily Waskey (1890-1964), in all 3
pictures. She married in 19 I I to E D King. Was told that she taught school before her marriage. The
Waskey family was living in Shawsville, Montgomery Co, Va. at that time. Postcards, written to her
between 1908 and l 910, had these remarks on them "you are training" and "getting ready to teach school
by this time". Were the schools in Shawsville or somewhere else? All 3 school pictures were taken by L.
W. Stewart, photographer, Cambria, Va. -- now part of Christian burg. The picture of the larger white
frame school has the date of Jan. 1909 on it.
1f anyone knows where these schools are located, please let me know as I would like to donate them to the
proper museum. When the pictures are enlarged, all faces are cleared - easy to recognize.

�The Care and Feeding of a Pedigree Chart

The following definitions are from Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary.
Springfield , Mass.: Merriam-Webster Inc., 1989:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Ahnentafel - "ancestor table" (rough translation from German, not in Webster's)
Bloodline - a sequence of direct ancestors, particularly in a pedigree
Chart- a sheet giving information in tabular form
Generation - a body of living beings constituting a single step in the line of
descent from an ancestor
Immigrant - a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence
Pedigree - a register recording a line of ancestors
Vital Events - recording data relating to lives

A genogram (pronounced:jen-uh-gram) chart is a method of graphically the describing
relations~ips between individuals. Primarily used by mental health experts, this diagram
can help identify positive and negative influences surrounding an individual.

Feeding the Chart:

What should be included on a pedigree chart?
o

o
o
o

The full name of each person [note, as in most genealogical records,
women are listed by their birth name, not their married name]
Date and place of birth
Date and place of death
Date and place of marriage (note that this is the marriage of the
individuals on the chart - other marriages of either party are not relevant to
the pedigree of the descendant)

Why use a pedigree chart at all? Using a pedigree chart gives a quick, visual summary
of ancestry You can see several important things at a glance:
o

o

Where are the gaps?
• Missing names
• Missing dates
• Missing places
What are the migration patterns?
. .
.
.
• Sites of vital events show where ind1v1duals were at specific points
in time

.VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

o

o

VVhere the various families came together and may give clues that
they migrated fro m similar locations
Where was I?
• Use a copy of your pedigree chart(s) as a checklist when
undertaking a major review or housekeeping effort. For example. if
you discover a great new resource (maybe a new internet search
engine), you can check off as you search for each individual to
avoid missing anyone or repeating your efforts.
Are we related?
• You can compare nores with new contacts to see where your lines
might connect
~
You can easily see whether we have the same basir i nfcr~ation on
common ancestors to start discussions on £he deta ils

As with everything in life , pedigree charts are NOT the answer to everything. Their
advantages are also their weaknesses:
0
0
0

They show limited information
They show direct line only
They do not show sources

So, use pedigree charts wisely.

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN OOTES

�C are o,&amp; f"'h-:i.
~ .... r:.

Put your completed pedigree chart in a top-loading Mylar (polyester) sleeve for
safekeeping. The page will wear out from use if not protected. If you use a 3-ring
binder to organize your research, the sleeve can be inserted at the front for easy
access.
Make sure you have back-up copies of your pedigree charts, especiafly if you do not
use a software program to store your information. I keep folders for surnames and
keep copies of re levant pedigree charts at the beginning of each folder. If I take a chart
out of a folder ' ::·...:t it in a protective sleeve.
Organize your charts. Make a master copy file folder for aach chart.
Use pencil.

FUN WITH MAPS
I am currently researching in my home state of Iowa. I grew up there, but have been gone since
1958. While working on my census reports, I found many new Townships which I didn't
remember. I guess I didn't pay that much attention to things like that. So, I went to
http://www.topozone.com and made a map of my home county ofDes Moines County, as well as
all the immediate counties around -- Lee, Louisa, Henry, and since Des Moines County falls on
the Mississippi River. I also printed some maps of Illinois.

The project took a while, but this was a fun craft. I taped all the pages together, and then taped it
to the wall near my computer. When I go into my census reports now, I can check the map, and
see where I am. When I find a family member in a census report, I go to the map and mark it
with their name and year of census. Each of the Townships are already on the map, I just
highlighted them with a colored marker, and also darkened the borders on the counties. This
helped my old eyes a bit. When I finished making this map, and found how handy it was, I then
went to http://www.mapquest.com and looked up my hometown of Burlington, Iowa. And yes,
you guessed right, I made a large street map of it. It's also hanging on the wall. I discovered
some interesting things while going through the 1910 and 1920 Census. Since most of the Iowa
censuses have added street names, you can trace where your families lived. Did they still remain
in the same location over the years or were they constantly moving? I discovered that my
mother's (who was only one years old or eleven years old during these two different census
periods) family lived in the same place but her :first husband lived within a five-minute walk
from her family home. Her third husband lived halfway between both of them. Of course they
didn't know each other. Her third husband, my father, was married and had a family already. In
fact, the home he lived in was two doors down from where I grew up as a child. And today the
house she grew up in still stands. I have relatives still living there. I mark my street map also,
and I know where most of my relatives lived at the beginning of the 20th Century. They all lived
close in proximity --- most of them in walking distance. All were close to the Oak Street Baptist
Chw·ch that was started by my German ancestors. I'm discovered a lot about my family, things I
never knew while growing up, just by making a couple of maps and keeping track of their
movements over the years. I wish some of the earlier census reports were as helpful as the later
ones. O~ and by the way, on my large county map, there are also some of the cemeteries listed
in the area. I know most of my family was buried in Aspen Grove Cemetery, but I had other
family that was buried, near where they lived their last years. I have also marked these on my
county map.
Good luck

TELL IT LIKE IT IS
I've b_een in this"business" as a professional researcher, family researcher and teacher for about 3 7 years now. and I have
seen 1t all!
Here are some examples:

* A customer who refused to go any further once r connected him to a titled family in E ngland.
any snobs in ms family!

He wasn't going to have

*A customer who refused to believe tliat her Huguenot ancestors could rev~rt to the "mother ch~h", even after being
presented with parish registers, probate fil es, and pictures of their graves m the Roman Catholic churchyard.

* I stumbled onto a bonanza of information about a person's maternal line, though I was researching the paternal one.
He threw it out with the statement that "females don't count in genealogy.

11

* A customer who. when she found out that I needed to know the birth dates of her father, mother~ and grandparents,
refused to go furt11er . She infonned me that if I had to know the family "business" in order to find her family history,
to 'just forget it".

* A gentleman believed that his mother had had an affair, and that be was illegitimate.

His mother had corresponded
briefly with this man after a relative in Califomia suggested it. I found tllat at the period of interest, his mother was in
nortl1em Canada, and tliat tlle man was out of the countty in the U.S. Navy. He still preferred to believe tliat this man
was his father, and carried his picture (found in his mother's belongings) in his wallet.

Ah well ... it just goes to prove a point ·-- be very careful in analyzing what you find, especially printed genealogies and
family "sources". There are lots of people who alter records for their own reasons. I have heard of original records have
being altered, tllen xeroxed and copies sent to trusting people.

'VIRGIN1A.APPALACHIAN NOTES

�served in the Regular Army for the duration of the war, and received bounty land under the
1812 acts.
It took three trips to the National Archives to uncover the information that has answered so

many questions. The first trip enabled me to find all the Dickerson men who had served in the
same regiment. At that time r was able to hold their pay stubs in my hand. I learned that they
had been paid $8 a month, and that Reed had given power of attorney to his commanding
officer before he died.
At that time I was interested in people living in Floyd County since a neighbor looked so
much like my husband's aunts, and we found that she had a Dickerson grandmother who had
lived in Floyd County. I would later find that I had held the pay stubs of the great great
grandfather we were searching for.
Later information came to me from a relative of our neighbor, Russell Dickerson, of Boone's
Mill, Va. A letter had been received in 1923 with information, though scanty, on the young
men from Floyd County whose widows, had received bounty land.
Six pages if unindexed Bounty Land Records were brought home from the National Archives
by Diane Good. They concerned the applications for bounty land of Griffith Dickerson of
Gentry County, Missouri. He was declared a Fraud because of the dissimilarity of his
signatures. He signed his name at one time, then signed with his mark, later because of poor
eyesight and fraility.
My later visit requesting the same informatioon on the same serviceman unearthed 19 pages
if revealing information, not seen by Diane. Rebecca was described as an old lady of 73, of

honest simplicity; that she lived 12-15 miles up country from Danvillle, and that she
remembered her husband had two relatives of the same name, but did not know if they were
in the war. A statement from Jesse Jones, the minister from West Fork Primitive Baptist
Church, who married Griffith and Rebecca, was included. He remembered the marriage in
180 I, but he had kept no records. This information completed the picture of these people
who lived so long ago.

�The Family History Library Catalog (FHLC) lists and describes each of the microfilms, microfiche,
books, CD's and other records.
The FHLC is available on microfiche or CD-ROM m the FHC, or online at
www.familysearcb.org.

Search online from home
FamilySearch is the computerized collection of genealogical information created by the LDS
church. The search can be by place, surname, author, subject, call number, film/fiche or title. If you
have access to the Internet at home you can connect to the LDS site and do your record searching
before you visit the center.
Most of the microfihn and microfiche can be borrowed from the F1IL. There is a fee ($3.50
per microfilm roll/$. 15 per microfiche) and this service must be requested in person at the FRC.
Borrowed materials are sent from the FHL to the local FHC for your use there. You must use the
borrowed items at the center, usually for a lending period of 3 weeks, but most items can be
renewed.
You get what you ask for; so if you've requested an Italian marriage document, don't be
surprised if it is in Italian rather than English. Do your homework before you order. If you haven't
been to a Family History Center, an adventure awaits you. The Family History Centers are
wonderful resources.

TIPS TO HELP YOU GET OVER THE BRICK WALL
by Liz Lieber, Genealogy.com
Every genealogist, at one time or another, has encountered a brick wall in his or her research.
When you hit a brick wall it is a good thing to remember that every research challenge allows
you the opportunity to grow as a family historian. Every time you get over a brick wall, you've
learned a new research technique that you may be able to apply later. Here are some tips to help
you along:
o Check for Misspellings. It is always a good idea to remember that generations ago, name
spellings weren't standardized and people often spelled their own names many different ways.
Also, since lots of people couldn't w1ite, they had other people write things down for them. This,
too, resulted in multiple spellings. Even official documents (for example, a census, maniage
record, or immigration document) may contain misspellings. In the end, remember to check
many different spellings of a name you are having trouble finding record of
o Take a Break, Then Review What You Already Have. Sometimes putting your research away

for a little while will help you see things in a new light when you come back to it. You'll often
find new clues or hidden significance in your existing research when you take a step back and
reevaluate your sources or reexamine any assumptions that you have made.
o Look for the Person, Not the Name. Sometimes you'll hit a brick walJ when you find two
people with the same name living in the same area. In this case, only further research will help
you detennine which one is yours. One way to identify an individual is to expand your research
to include hjs extended family. -w11y not look for record of your ancestor in documents relating
to his siblings or his wife's family? Try to determine if friends or associates mentioned him in
their wiJls or deeds. Perhaps he was active in his community and may be mentioned in a local
history. By making your ancestors more than just a name, you not only spice up your family
history but also make it easier to trace.
o Make an Educated Guess. When absolutely no records exist, you can often make an educated
guess to help further your research along. For example, to determine someone's age when there
are no birth or census records available, you may wish to estimate based on that person's
marriaae
oirls were married for the first tin1e between the a12:es
o date · Generally, in colonial times&gt;O
'-'
of 17 and 21 and boys were married for the first time between the ages of 18 and 2 1. You'11 want
to do a little research to determine what the general rule was in your case but you can see how an
understanding of some historical demographics can sometimes help you get past a brick wall.
o Ask Your Fellow Researchers for Help. Genealogists are often willing to help each other out
and you might be surprised by the amount of assistance you'll receive. Posting a query, for
example at www.genforum.com, is a great way to get in contact with other researchers who may
be researching the same family lines as you.

Dear Fellow Members,
This issue of the VAN begins a new year. Election of officers took place in Nov ember and 1 am
pleased to say that for the first time in several years we have all positions fi lled. The list of
officers is inside the front cover. Thank you to all who agreed to serve and to those people w ho
served last year.
This year the program chairperson is trying to book programs that relate more to various
research issues. To that end the society is pleased to ann ounce that Barbara Vine Little n oted
Virginia genealogist and national known speaker will present our March program. This is an
excellent opportunity to hear a regular NGS speaker. The date is March 15 at 1 :30pm . T h e
meeting place, however, will be the Hollins Branch Library, 6624 Peters Creek Rd. NW. We
hope to see many members there. Mark your calendars! We had hoped to have Mr. Tommy
Moore, clerk of Botetourt County Court, speak about the court system and court records in
Virginia at a future meeting. However, he is a member of the reserves and faces the possibility
of a call to active duty at any time. We wish him well.
In this issue are two articles by members Don Vaughan and Barbara Baganakis. The VAN likes
to publish material from members but we get very little. Please consider sending us something.
Note that Ms. Baganakis cited her sources at the end of the piece. That's all we need, even if
it's just "this is a family legend". Help us keep the quality of the VAN high. Send us something
for publication.
Finally, as of mid December, the Virginia Room is no longer able to provide free parking in the
lot acrossed the street to anyone spending two or more hours researching. If this is m aking it
difficult for you to come to the library to do _research , pleas~ ma~e your objections known to the
Director of Libraries, Mr. Zaryczny (not Elain~) or call the cit~ off1~e and ask to speak to the city
manager. Perhaps if enough people complain then something will change.
Happy Hunting,

A Brief Guide to the Genealogical and Historical
Resources of Highland County, Virginia
Compiled by Marshall D. "Don" Vaughan

Scottish Highland cattle. Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson. Maple syrup. Can you
find evidence of all three in one location in Virginia? Visit Highland County.
Formed from Bath and Pendleton County (now West Virginia) in 1847, Highland County
(2000 pop. - 2,607) is one of the four counties in Virginia named for its natural features.
Called "Virginia's Switzerland" because of its mountainous terrain, settlement began in
about 1745 as the Germans began to migrate over the mountains into the northern and
western part of the present county and the Scots-Irish began to find land in the eastern
and southern part.
Ten streams flow out of Highland County and form the head waters of the James and
the Potomac Rivers. Local lore has it that a barn in Hightown sits astride the dividing
line of the watersheds. Rain falling on one side of the roof runs into the Potomac basin,
rain on the other side runs into the James River basin.
US 220 and US 250 (the Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike)intersect at Monterey (est.
2000 pop. - 250) , the county seat. If you travel the secondary roads, you will visit such
communities as Blue Grass, Hightown, McDowell, Doe Hill, Mustoe, New Hampton,
Bolar, Clover Creek, Vanderpool , and Headwaters.
The telephone directory gives some indication of the ethnic mix in the county. Allen,
Armstrong, Beverage, Botkin, Colaw, Eagle, Grant, Hull, Malcolm, McCray, O'Baugh,
Puffenbarger, Pull in, Rexrode, Simmons, Sullenberger Vance, and Varner are some of
the more common surnames names.

Historical and Cultural Events
The Highland Maple Festival
The second and third weekends of March 2003 will be the 45th annual Highland Maple
Festival. Craft shows and demonstrations of various methods to collect maple sugar
water and to prepare maple syrup will be highlighted. Several maple sugar "camps" will
be open to the public. Located on US 220 just south of Monterey, the Highland Maple
Museum is a replica of an old-time maple camp. It contains exhibits that explore the
history of maple syrup making from the time of the Native Americans to the present.
The Battle of McDowell
After enduring spring rains and knee-deep mud , 6 ,000 Confederate troops under
General Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson and approximately 3 , 000 men
commanded by General Edward "Alleghany Ed" Johnson joined forces to defend the
Shenandoah Valley against General Robert Milroy and 4 ,000 Union forces. The two
armies met on Sitlington's Hill east of McDowell on May 8, 1862, at about 3 :00 PM.
After nearly four hours of fierce fighting, sometimes hand-to-hand , the costly

Confederate victory was assured as the Union troops withdrew under cover of
darkness. The Confederate toll was 146 killed, 382 wounded, and 4 captured.
Confederate units from Virginia participating in the battle were 21st Infantry, 23rd
Infantry, 25th Infantry, 31st Infantry, 37th Infantry, 44th Infantry, ~2nd Infantry, and 58th
Infantry and from Georgia the 12th Infantry. The Battle of McDowell was considered to
be the first victory of Jackson's Shenandoah Valley Campaign.
The McDowell Presbyterian Church still shows the scars of battle. Serving as both
headquarters and hospital during the battle of McDowell, the church bears the marks of
a cannonball strike and the bricks still have the names of soldiers and dates carved into
them.
German Field Marshal Rommel reportedly stayed three months at the Highland Inn in
Monterey in the late 1930's and studied the tactics of Jackson and the battle.
The next McDowell Battlefield Heritage Days will be held in May 2003. A living history
and reenactment celebration sponsored by the Highland Historical Society and the
Highland Chamber of Commerce, the event features regiment to regiment combat on
the actual battlefield, camp life, lectures and talks, and period music.

DIGITAL COPIES OF OLD FAMILY PHOTOS
A digital camera can be used to reproduce old photographs, and offers better flexibility,
portability, and resolution than most scanners. My camera has~ zoom lens, a preview scree~
and a "macro" mode for extreme close-ups, so photos can be laid flat and copied quickly without
removing them from albums or frames. Snapshots as small as 2" x 3" are reproduced with
remarkable fidelity.
While home for the holidays, I photographed over a hundred old photos from a family album in
about an hour. The photos were later downloaded to a computer with a CD burner, and copies of
the collection are now available to the entire family.

SUSAN JANE HANKS
This story must start with my great great grandmother on my father's mother's side of
our family. She was born 3 July 1819, married Edward Atkinson 25 Nov. 1839, and
died 29 May 1903, some thirty two years before I was born. Her name was Susan
Jane Hanks. Susan was the first of the Hanks clan that I found in my ancestral tree.
She was born, married and lived in Bedford Co. , VA and died not very far away in
Montgomery Co., VA., where I was born and raised.
Susan Jane spent all her life in one small area of Southwestern Virginia's beautiful
Appalachian Mountains. This was much the same as her parents, William Hanks and
Harmony Holdren had done before her. Not so with William's father, Fleetwood Hanks,
a direct descendant of Thomas Hanks, one of the earliest Hanks that came to Virginia.
By 1653 Thomas Hanks had immigrated from England to Gloucester Co., VA where he
purchased one hundred acres of land which grew to over 2,500 acres by 1674. Two of
Thomas' patent grants gave him land adjoining the estate of Colonel Lee, none other
than the Colonel Richard Lee, progenitor of the Lee family and ancestor of General
Robert E. Lee. After Bacon's Rebellion both the Lee family and the Hanks family moved
across the Rappahannock River. The Hanks lived for a hundred years with Lees on
three sides of them. You see, Thomas always lived near the famous Lees of VA and it
is believed that Elizabeth, his wife was of that family but that's another story.
,
Now, back to Fleetwood, the mover, who was to my search much like the sound of his
name - allusive ... I just knew that Fleetwood was William's father but proving it would not
come easy. It is known that Fleetwood was born in MD, married in Loudoun Co., VA,
owner land in Bedford Co., VA, and died in Jefferson Co., KY. Fleetwood's lineage has
been well documented. Fleetwood had two wives, the first was Ruth Wyatt, the mother
of William and his second wife was Alvah Hynes. Fleetwood owned the land in Bedfo~d
Co. VA from1797 until he sold it in 1802. Only a short time later, in 1810 he appears in
the Jefferson Co., KY census records. Fleetwood received a bequeath of two dollars
from his father's estate in 1814 and he died in KY sometime after that year.
There were other Hanks who fit the time frame to have been William's father but none
proved to be the right Hanks. As is the case with many family traditions and stories that
follow the generations, 1 always heard that through our Atkinson relatives, that we were
related to Nancy Hanks, the mother of Abraham Lincoln. Fleetwood would be the
connection that would weave Abraham Lincoln into our family.
Continuing my search for a connection between my third great grandfather and old
Flee~ood, I reviewed William's property records in Bedfor~ ~o . , VA and fou~d a deed
showing that William and Harmony had sold property in Ph1lltps Co., NC, which they
had inherited from one Millinder Hanks. A copy of Millinder's estate record showed that
he was William's brother. In fact all of Millinder's possessions went to his siblings as he
had no wife. This estate document pointed out where each heir lived. The day this
paper arrived in the mail I knew that I had hit pay dirt, well maybe. Fleetwood and
James Hanks were the executors of Millinder's estate, but this Fleetwood turned out to
be William's brother. Having all of the sisters names made the puzzle a bit easier.
There on sister Nancy's first marriage bond her father....Fleetwood Hanks gave his

�'~
permission for the nuptials in Bedford Co., VA. Now , I have my Hanks lineage
documented, but do I have our family connection to old Abe?
It is a shame but Abraham Lincoln's ancestry on his mothers side of his fa mily may
never be proven. Even though he rose to the highest office in the land and became o ne
of the most famous person in all our history, the parentage of his mother, Nancy Hanks
has been to many genealogist their "Fleetwood". Generatio n after generation of Lincoln
historians and writers have tried to answer the question - "Who was Nancy Hanks that
married Thomas Lincoln and became the mother of Abraham Lincoln , sixteenth
president of the United States of America?"
Well, first there is Fleetwood's daughter, Nancy born in 1785 , she first married Enock
Holdren in Bedford Co., VA and then her second marriage was to Francis G . DeMar.
Our Nancy was not the mother of Abraham Lincoln .

According to Abraham in his biography, "Nancy, his mother was born in 1784 in
Virginia". Of the seven or more known Nancy Hanks born between 1780 and 1788, the
Nancy Hanks born in 1784, daughter of Abraham Hanks and Sarah Harper is the Nancy
accepted by many historians and genealogist alike as the mother of old Abe. ,This is the
Nancy researched over a fourteen year period by the renowned genealogist, Aden
Baber, author of many books on the Civil War preside nt.
There are other accepted researchers who believe that Nancy was the daughter of
Luke Hanks I. This Nancy Hanks first married a man who's last name w as South and
they believe that her second marriage was to Thomas Lincoln.
Should historian or genealogist ever prove that either of the last mentioned Nancys was
the mother of Abraham Lincoln, then I am old Abe's cousin because Abraham Hanks,
Luke Hank I, and my ancestor Peter Hanks, great grandfather of Fleetwood are all
descended of that first Thomas Hanks of Gloucester Co., Virginia. In the case of the
first Nancy, daughter of Abraham Hanks old Abe and I are fourth cousins five times
removed and with the second most widely accepted Nancy, daughter of Luke Hanks I,
old Abe and I are fifth cousins four times removed. Well, in either case I don't guess we
are much more than kissing cousins, but I am grateful to have found my second great
grandmother, Susan Jane Hanks and connected her to our Hanks ancestors of Virginia.
Will this be of interest to my descendants or just a family skeleton? Perhaps knowing
that Tom Hanks, the contemporary movie star and I are ninth cousins will be muc h more
fun.

�SAUL SIMON
By Judy Blackwell

Saul Simon, according to my view, was one of Radford's finest. He ran a
jewelry store in Radford for years. He was always willing to help anyone he could.
He walked just about everywhere he went and was a very "dapper" dresser. He was
not very tall but quite trim and knew everyone and always spoke.
He was proud of the town and wanted to promote it at every opportunity. I
guess for his time peri~d, you could call b~ "Mr. Ra~ford" ~nd I think everyone
who knew him loved him. People went to bun for advice, assistance and just to talk.
He always helped the young people by extending easy purchase terms to
those who wanted to bu! jewelry. I can't ~hink of a bad thing about him. It seems
there was a long article 10 The Roanoke Tunes not too long before he passed away.

This picture most have been taken in his young days. He was a lot older
hen I knew him. My parents were very good in raising us not to discriminate
:ierefore, if I eve~ knew be was Jewish, it didn't matter.

PLEASE NOTE---FEES FOR GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH :
Here in Botetourt County, Virginia , our records date back to
1770 and go through to the present . Our records include: Wills and
other Probate records, Marriages, Deeds and Surveyors ' records,
plus various oth er records of the Circuit Court.
We also have
acquired an impressive collection of currently out-o f-prin t books
and other materials that have proven to be very helpful to people
who are doing research on their ancestors . In addtion, many people
whom we have assisted at some point with their research have sent
us the books that they have written about their families .
.
The only records that are not complete in ou~ c~unty are the
Birth and Death records . The simple reason for this is that.. the~e
types of records just were not kept.
However, one Clerk of this
County~s Cicuit Court, who served from 1853 through 18 7 0, ~ept a
mere listing of births and deaths reported to his office---wi~ho~t
any oth~r written information to back up these listings .
Within
the entire state of Virginia, birth and death records, a~d Ce~sus
records were not kept until the late 1800's.
A local historian,
~harl es Burton, put t ogether numerous listings of census- related
information---and we have a copy of all of Mr . Burton 's works .
. rn this off ice, we charge a fee of $2 . 00 for a copy of each
•
All other copywork
7s done for a c h arge of $0. so per page .
we also ask that you
inclu~e something extra to help us off set the cost of .postage and
handling. While we do not charge a specific fee for do i ng research
for people who make such requests1 most people wish to compensate
us for our time and efforst---therefore , we suggest that they make
a contribution to our Book Repair Fund, which is used f .o r the
~ostly restoration and/or preservation of our collection of
irreplaceable historic books and documents . Checks need to be made
payable to:
Tommy L . Moore Clerk.
It will simplify matters for
~s in this office if you wiil address your research re~uests to.me
in care of this office . we will be glad to try to assist you with
your research in any way possible .
~arriage record, fo r they must be "certified 11

�Botetourt's History
T here's little wonder that pioneers in the mi &lt;l1700s decided to put down roots in what is now
Botetourt County. The rolling hills, the fertile
valley along the James River and the beautiful
mountains that nearly surround this picturesque
haven were as inviting 250 years ago as they are
today.
When those first pioneers started settling here
in the early 1740s, the land was part of Augusta
County. Three decades later, Virginia's General
Assembly and Royal Governor formed the new
County
of Botetourt.
The official date:
January
31, 1770.
T

_ _ _ __
the east to t he Mississippi River on the west and
encompassed parts of what are now West Virginia,
Ohio Indiana Illinois and a11 of Kentucky, and all
or p~rts of the present Virginia counti~s of
Alleghany, Bath, Craig, Roanoke and Rockbndge.
The county was named in honor of Norborne
Berkley, Lord Botetourt, Royal Governor .of the
Colony of Virginia. Lord Botetourt was considered
a friend of the colonists a nd tried to peacefully
settle their differences with the Crown of E ngland.
He died in October of the year the county was
formed.
Botetourt is pronounced Bot-e-tot, or T!1ore
quickly and almost as one syllable by natives,
Botetot.
The northeastern part of the county saw the
first permanent settlers. They began putting down
roots near what is now Buchanan. The early settlers were mainly of Scotch-Irish descent and were
staunch Presbyterians. Included among them were
a few French Huguenots. About 50 years aft~r the
Scot.ch-Irish first came here, many began migrating westward and sold their lands to new settlers
whoconsisLed primarilyof PalatineGermans. Those
early Germans were primarily Lutheran Reformed
and Mennonile. They were followed by the Dunkers
ll~C

c.a. a o~'"'"

ontl United Brethren.
Arguably, the first balLl e of the Revolutionary
War was fought in what was then Botetourt County.
John Murray, fourth Earl of Dunm ore, was nppointed Hoyal Governor in 1771, and he incited a
wnr between the Native Indians and Virginians in
1774 which was known as Dunmore's War. The
final battle of that war was fought at Point Pleasant on the Ohio River in what was then Botetourt
Cou nt,?-and is now West Virginia. Andrew Lewis
led the Virginians against the Shawnee and Chief
Cornstalk in the Batlle of Point Pleasant. Cornsta lk was decisively defeated and the resulting
treaty with the Indians opened up the Ohio River
route to Ken lucky and much land south oflhe Ohio
for colonists. That battle also set the stage for the
colonists' revolution against the British Crown less
than two years later_
Followingt.heAmerican Revolution, theJames
River and the Great Valley Road led more seltlers
and traders to Botetourt. Buchanan and
Pattonsburg (now part of Buchanan) prospered
with trade on the James River, and Fincastle the
county seat, grew with commerce and more settlers
who were often only passing through as they headed
west.
Meriwether Lewis and William C lark helped
spur that move west.ward when they left Fincastle
to explore the Louisiana Purchase under Thomas
Jefferso n's presidency.
The War Between the States brought its own
~r~gedy to Botetourt. Many of the county's men
JO med the Confeder ate Anny, and while most of the
war was fought in other parts of Virginia a nd the
South, much of Buchanan was burned by Maj. Gen.
David Hunter's Union troops as they made their
own devastating march through The Valley of
Virginia a year before the war ended.
Botetourt continued. to prosper and grow afl.er
the war, and even sent its own delegation to tout
the virtues of the county during the 1893 Chicago
World's Fair.
. When the Sout~ern Railroad located in Big
Lick (now Roa noke), it set the course for Botetourt's
future. The steam engines and stee l tracks took the
place of river transportation that had made
Botetourt so important in the mid-19th century;
but it a lso guaranteed Botetourt would remain a
quiet rural county with small, tightly knit towns
and villages that make it so peaceful and pleasant.
as the 21st century approaches.

Gravestone

Clean!ngJ~&gt;o'~__and_ P.Qn 't~

by Andi MacDonald

As the mo, ement for cemetery preservation spreads acrnss ou r nation , I am seeing mo1·c and more articles and
videos on cleaning funer ary objects written by well-meaning indh ·iduals. It seems cYcryonc now wants to jump on
the bandwagon without proper training. While we genealogists know how to glean fami ly history information
from a burial recor d, or a headstone, or other burial records, man~· of us a1·c not spec ialists in cemetery
preservation Just as the AssQciatio..lLl&gt;f P1:.ofe5sio_1!!!.LG~IJ~al9gi_,1.;j5 promotes sound gencal o~ica l wo rk. we shou ld
also promote sound cleaning techniques.
A specialist in cemetery pr esen'ation is one who has taken classes from p rofessional stone p1·cscrvationists such
as Fannin-Lehner Presen ation Consultants in Concord, MA, or L~· nettc Strangstad. author of" A G1·aveya1·d
Preservation Primer." A specialist under stands the various t~·pes of stones and how chcmicais/cm·ironmcnt affect
each. And, a speciali~i knows very specific methods for cleani ng fune r ary objects.
We are starting to refer to cemetery presen-ationists as 'ce meterians.' a word coin~d by a n individual on one of
the many cemetery conservation maillist~.
There are a few points anyone writing an article on cemeteries might keep in mind that would benefit all. T hey
are:
1

1

OONOT
1. Do not promote chalk or any othe r product considered to be natural--clirt, grass, weeds, etc. They a rc all
harmful to stone. If you would like specific information on this, please cont act rne pl'ivatcly.
2. Do not promote household bleach; aka SODIUM hypochlorite. While chlorine is safe in very limited

quantities, the sodium io it is the most harmful thing you can use on a stone. l.Jse CALCIUM h~·p ochloritc
instead. And, never use calcium hypochlorite unless the stone absolutely needs it for hiological g r owth--use plain
water and non-ionic detergent first.
3. Do not clean one stone more often than one time every ten ycars--longcr if possible.
4. Do not use any brush or product on a stone with natural bristle brushes as the~· will lcaYe fihcrs behind that
biological growth adheres to.
5. Do not use llOwer washers, wire brushes, etc. These items rip the skin of a stone which promotes water
penetration--stone breathes water vapor but hates water. (yes, stone has a skin!)
6. While it may be great to have a rubbing-please do not promote them. Tbc,y dam age stone. be l ien~ it or oot.
Some cemeteries arc banning this practice altogether.

DO
1. Promote the cleaning of sound stones ( if it sounds hollow when you rnp your knuck les on it, leave it alone) with
a non-ionic detergent. The only two recommended non-ionic detergents arc Orvis (used fo1· cleaning horses and
available at tack shops or seed/feed stores) and Photo-Flo (sold a t 1&gt;hotographic supply stores such as Kits
Cameras or some lhour photo stores). Both of these products are very cheap--ahout a petrn~' a stone.
2. Promote the use of WHITE NYLON bristle brushes, such as the ones you can buy with a handle for cleaning a
bathroom floor, and other brushes such as used toothbrushes (with w hite handles and b ristles). Whitc=no dyes.
3. Promote contacting the Association for Gravestone Stu dies or the {;emctea_Px~.se121 ati.9!1_ AJ l ian~~ for more
information. There are many well-meaning indi"iduals on the Internet who still cncom·age poor cleaning
methods, so go to the experis (sounds like an APG mantra).
4. Promote teaching our youngsters proper cleaning methods and respect for cemeteries.
5. Promote wetting the entire stone completely (think sponge) before any hrush is ta ken t o it an d start at the
bottom of the stone and work your way to the top to avoid stains that will ne\•cr come out. Only 11romotc nonionic detergents fo r stubborn stains; only promote calcium hypochlorite fo r complet e removal of b iological growth
such as black moss.
6. Promote the book "A Graveyard Preservation Primer," by Lynette Strangstad, or promote membersh ip in an
organization that works specificall!· with cemetery preservation or graYestone preservation.
7. Promote taking a photo instead of a rubbing. There are ways to bring every detail out in a photo while
rubbings cannot. Photos arc not harmful.

Low steel posts surround this cemetery with a chain strung between them. It takes up 1/ ,
of the front yard and is right beside the Caldwell Cemetery. There are only these six
stones.
The present resident states that many years ago there was a large farmhouse, behind the
CUJTent house, in which a widowed lady lived. Her relatives were the ones buried in this
little cemetery. The farmhouse burned and the children of the widow built her a small 4room home in front of the site of the old home. That is why the cemetery is now in the
front yard. The present owner did not know the surname of the widow but it might be
one of those listed above. The present owner has enlarged and remodeled this home.
In the days of the farmhouse, there were no other homes built in this block of 4 111 ,
Monroe, 6t\ and Spring Streets. Now every plot has a house and they are close together.

b ~WE o! Alaska ha.ve Jteard and read a great deal ·
about bribery and the buying ot' votes In the
electlons of the United St~tes proper, but l doubt _ .
f any of the .People In Washington ever hen.rd ~r dreamed of ·;. ·'
t man In American politics ·w ho asked the prlvllege of paying' . --.: ,
:or a chance to cast bis vote." ·
·
. j
The speaker was Mr. Thomas Cale ~f Fa.lrbanks,·Alaska ..\·
the firs_t full-term. delegate ever elect;ied trom tho.~ .far·Oft . ·~·I
tei·rltory. !\'Ir. CaJe is a tall, rugged man of perhaps 08 years. ·'· ' ,
He \\'as born In Vermont, but he had 11Ved for ·many years ln ·
Wisconsin and abou.t ten years ago he j~ln ed the adventurous
spirits who: during the past decade, have built ~ nn empire
11• the "frozen north."
·
.
.
Mr." Cale was aslced to explain his remark and at .the same
t. me to tell the readers .o f the !llustrated. Sµnday Magazine .
something about the vast territory which he repres!Jnls. In
response Mr. Cale furnished Ille following. statement:.
.
For years we of the great territory of the 'extreme notthi.. :
west section of this continent have been asklng Congress to
give us a territorial' form of .government. No one not·-dJi:ectlY ·
Interested In our territory can possibly understand our n eeds
!lnd certainly no one could be expected ~o devote his tlmP
and attention to our Interests. Senators an d" Members from ..
the Coast a.nd Intermountain·Slates have alwa.y.s .shown a dis- ,
r:os!Uon to give us consideration, and have at a.II tlmes been .
wllllng to do .what they could _for their neighbors In th~ north. ·.
i ut they have had their .. O'Wn constituents to look after. a nd .
naturally could ·not devote· all thelr attenuon to the needs ·ot
Alaska. 'frlnally Congress listened to "Our appeal, In part., and' ·.
In st winter we were recognized to .the extent that we wero .;'
permitted to elect a delegate to Congrss who· w.111 hav tho .. :
privileges accorded to similar delegates from Arl:zona, ·New
!II~lco , Oldahoma and Hawaii and the Resident· Commis'- ·
stoner from Porto Rici:&gt;:
. ·
.
·
Under the terltls of th.e Act· of Congress, Alaska.' held her ·
f\:·st el~ctlon of national Importance last August. and· ·Mr. ·
Waskey of Nome was chosen the first' delegate. for ·the short
term, the second session of the Fifty-ninth Congress: I was
honored with the election to the full term beginning oil the
4th day of next March. There was virtually no pollUcaJ : di"'
vision bet\'l'een Republicans and Pemocrats. Mr. Wo.ske.Y..ls' a . -..
Demo~rat and I s.m a Uepubllcari. Our people were . erithusl:-. : ~.­
as tic over the opportunity to send a'.· delegato to Congress who · ; :
would be accor ded the privilege· of speaking .for them and ...
upon the needs of the great empire:embraced wJ thlh the con. · ·,•:1,
fines of the "Seward Purc)lase,'~ even· though ·wo. are. per- :•

.
T.hl.s. change of conditions ts· due to tho great work done
by.'MaJor .w. P. Richardson of the 9th u . s . Infantry. No
man has done 'lui.l! as much for Alaska as' thaU officer. of the
United Stat~ Army. . He. has been a r,esi.dent of the territory
practically for the:.past nlne y~Q.rs;· and' his Intelligent grasp .
of the situation ana ·Jlls untj.rlng energy· have resulted In tht!
construcflon .or hundi:eds ot· miles of trails ·and wagon. roads
which have been of ,IJnestlmable bcrtefit to· our people'. · l ' will
cite· one ·Instance whfch 'Ulustrates my poinl Three-years ag()
it cost u,s·oo t:o· haul one ·boller 23 miles to a m lrie. Today
that same boiler · could 'be hauled the same .distan ce for 'less
than $300, all on account of ·the roads which Mo.jo'r Richardson has bulll No man .hn.s ·done so much for lhe · territory,
and 1f our people could control the. next Presidential clecUon
I do · not hesitate to . say that . Major Richardson would 'br:
una'nlmously elected.
· #. Th~. populat\on"of A)aska ls, of course, cosmopolllan in
the c.itt:reme. We have ln all about 75,000 people. Twentyfive thousand are non-Cil.ucl!,.Slans--Slwn.shes, (\louts and Mongolians. Among our . peo.ple you will find natives of every
State n:nd territory In the Union: The Irishman and the Swede.
the ScQtchman and the Slav, work slCle . by side. . There are
Mex.leans, New Zealanders, Russians, Germans, South Afrl·
cans-in fact, natives of p ract.lcally every counlry on earth,
but the great majority are native citizens of the ·united States.
And rJgbt here Jet me say thnt· there iS plenty of room for
'more. .Any man wltl,l courage; .energy and good health is sure
of success In Alaska:.. There Is a. constant demand for arll.sans:, Carpenfers and . bla.cksmlths aro 1&gt;nrlicularly deslreu.

a.nd Ja:boreis ln the mines and in tbe woous are paJd $5 a
day and tbelr bC1ard. · Thus 'far our mining operations In the
Interior are confined to p lacers. Quartz mining is too l:ostly
at present · because ot the lack or facili ties for tho transportation of heavy macl).lnery. But that is· comlttg, n.nd In · the

Locating Ancestors in the 1930 Census
By Megan Smolenyak
Many of us are anxiously anticipating the 1 April 2002 release of the 1930 Federal Population
Census by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). By law. census records
are restricted for seventy-two years for privacy reasons, but the wait is almost over. Since the
census day in 1930 was 1 April, that is the day that two thousand, six hundred and sixty-seven
microfilmed rolls of population schedules will be released for public access at the National
Archives in Washington, D.C. and thirteen regiona l branches , this year.
So all of us can rush right out and find our families in the 1930 census, right? Not quite.
We've become accustomed from most of the earlier census records to using the Soundex
finding aid. This personal name indexing tool makes it relatively easy for us to pluck our
ancestors out of the millions of names in a given census, and those of us whose kin resided in
twelve southern states will still have this luxury for the 1930 census. To be more specific,
indexes using the Soundex exist for the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida , Georgia ,
Kentucky (part) , Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina , South Carolina. Tennessee, Virginia,
and West Virginia (part).
The rest of us are not so lucky. We're going to have to muddle through without any Soundex.
That might not be too much of an obstacle if your family hails from a sparsely populated, rural
area, but what about those of us whose families lived in major urban areas such as New York
or Chicago?
Fortunately, the National Archives has already thought of this and made some finding aids
available
(see merrimack.nara.gov/genealogy/1930cen.html for details). The more you know about the
family you're seeking, the more useful these tools will be. At a bare minimum, you'll want to
know the names involved and the state and county in which they lived. To improve your
chances, you'll want to learn their exact address in 1930. If you were around in 1930, you can
be your own source for this information, but how can you learn this if you're a more recent
model? Here are a few suggestions:
* Talk to Your Older Relatives. Chances are you have relatives who were either alive in 1930
or who know where their parents were living at that time. Ask them!
* Loo~ ~hrough Family Papers. Maybe personal items such as letters , postcards, and photos

or official documents such as deeds or vital records will reveal the desired address.
* Note Where They Lived in the 1920 Census. Just maybe you'll get luci&lt;y and they'll have
stayed in the same place.

�* Search City Directories. Perhaps one of the most underutilized resources, these can tell you
exactly where your family was living in 1930. Recognizing this, NARA has posted a list of city
directories they've made available at regional branches at:
merrimack.nara.gov/genealogy/citydirs.html. Additional assistance can be found at:
www.cyndislist.com/citydir.htm and many major libraries have city directories for their area or
state.

So now you've found the street address. What next? You'll need to find out which enumeration
district (ED) contained the address to narrow your search. This will enable you to, for instance,
search just one neighborhood in Pittsburgh, rather
than the whole city. Once again, NARA has anticipated this need and made several important
finding aids available:
* Enumeration district maps numbering eight thousand three hundred and forty-five sheets
spanning thirty-six rolls have been reproduced as NARA microfilm publication M1930,
Enumeration District Maps for the Fifteenth Census of the United States, 1930.

* Geographic descriptions of enumeration districts are provided in NARA microfilm publication
T1224, Descriptions of Census Enumeration Districts, 1830-1950. Descriptions of
.
enumeration districts for the 1930 census are arranged by state, then by county, on rolls s1xtyone through ninety. Details are available on the NARA Web site mentioned earlier.

*The seven rolls of NARA microfilm publication M1931, Index to Selected City Streets and
Enumeration Districts, 1930 Census contain address indexes to help you convert addresses
into EDs for more than fifty larges cities, although it's not clear how the cities were selected.
For example, Kansas City, KS is included, but the much larger Kansas City, MO is not. (The
list of cities included in this publication is at:
www.nara.gov/genealogy/1930census_city_streets.html) More on this shortly.
Online Finding Aid
Those of us with big city roots should all be grateful to Stephen P. Morse, Joel D. Weintraub,
and David R. Kehs for the tool they've just launched at: home.pacbell.net/spmorse/census/
Building on data transcribed by Weintraub, this site is called "Obtaining Eds for the 1930
Census in One Step (large Cities)" and that's exactly what it helps you do for a number o~
major cities that weren't indexed in the M1931 microfilm series mentioned above. So now if
your family resided in Jersey City or one of about one hundred other cities, your research just
became a lot easier.
Researchers with Ellis Island ancestors are already familiar with Morse's one-step tool to help
search the Ellis Island database (home.pacbell.net/spmorse/ellis/ellis.html), and luckily for us,
he's at it again. As with his other tools, I strongly recommend that you read his Frequ~ntl~
Asked Questions (FAQs), which will help you understand how to get the most from this site as
well as what its limitations are. You'll also get a quick education in the 1930 census.
Essentially, the site helps you determine the ED or EDs in which a given street was recorded.
It does so by taking you through a straightforward query process. When you first go to the
page, a single field will appear asking you to select a state from a drop- down menu . It then

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�page, a single field will appear asking you to select a state from a drop- down menu . It then
takes you through a series of additional questions. For example , I conducted a search with the
following specifications:
State: NJ
City: Jersey City
Street: Bright St.
House number: 136 (map)
Cross street: Varick (map)
Cross street: Monmouth Result ED 41
So now I can focus my search for my great-grandparents in just one ED. If I had stopped at
just the first street, my search would have been narrowed to six EDs, but adding others helped
me zero in even more.
How did I know these cross streets? I didn't. Entering the house number activated a mapping
function incorporated into the site. From the current-day map that opened, I coul d then identify
nearby streets. Entering one of these brought my choice down to two EDs. Consulting the
map, which the intersection of these two streets generated , I selected one more that formed
part of the closed city block that interested me. This last entry whittled the field down to a
single ED.
If there is an already existing resource for the address you seek, you might be informed of this
at some point in the process. For instance, if you select one of the twelve states that were
Soundexed, you'll be reminded of this fact. If you select a city that is contained in the address
index microfilm series, you'll be directed to the exact roll that contains your city of interest
(incidentally, FAQ No.10 contains a list of cities in this series). And if you specify a city that's
not covered in this site (since it's a purely volunteer effort, they drew the line at cities with
populations below eighty thousand, although they invite volunteers to contribute the necessary
data to add other cities), it will point you to the exact roll in the above-referenced ED
geographic description finding aid you'll need to continue your research. For those of us with
roots in Wilkes-Barre, PA, Sacramento, CA, or any of one hundred other large cities, this tool
arrived on the scene just in time!

ALL THE EASY ANCESTORS ARE TAKEN
by Patricia Law Hatcher, CG, F ASG

That's how I felt. All the easy ancestors were taken.
In my early genealogical experiences, I visited the Dallas Public Library, t he Family History
Library, the New England Historic Genealogical Society, and the DAR Library. They had rows
and rows of compiled genealogies--genealogies that did N OT contain my ancestors. I stud~ed
the books. Many were undocumented but the information seemed to have come from public
vital record s, from church records, fr~m tombstones, from wills, and from family records-records of
vital events.

My ancestors, on the other hand, seemed to have been one of the following: willfully negligent in
reporting vita l events to the appropriate officials; members of churches that eschewed record
keeping; too poor to have a tombstone; or too frugal to pay for a will. Their records had not
survived their multitudinous moves.
Over the years, however, I have managed to establish lineages for many of these ancestors.
How? 1 found my ancestors when l quit looking for vital records and focused on record groups
that might tell me about relationships.
CENSUSES
The decennial censuses are the backbone of oenealooical research in the federal period. They
weren't readily available to early genealogist:. but th~y are to us. Relationships weren't explicitly
stated until the 1880 census, but they are generally implied in the J 850. 1860, and 1870 censuses.
I learned it was important to look at EVERY census. The solution to the ancestry of the
newlyweds of 1860 mjght be found in the 1880 or 1900 census when an elderly parent was in the
hou sehold--and explicitly identified as such.

PROBATE RECORDS

VIRGINIA APPALAGHlAN NOTES

�/°7 7
I discovered that there were other probate records besides w ills. W hen there wa s property but no
will, an administration should have occurred (although some of my ancestors e ven wiggl e d out
of this one). Admin1strations required that the property be distributed nccord ing to the law. w hi ch
meant that the w idow and each of the children usually go t somet hing~ often they were a ll li sted
by name.

If there were minor children, a guardian was appointed fo r the child (as guardian for th e
property, not the person). Once a child was 14. he or she could choose hi s or her own g u a rdia n,
and this action provided an estimate of the child's birth dat e.
With this wealth of information resulting from the lack of a wi lL L sometimes find myself
wishing the ancestor whose will left everything to hi s unna med wife and eldest so n had di ed in
testate instead.

LAND RECORDS
Land records are easily the most under-utilized source for establishing relationships. E Jd e rly
parents sometimes wrote deeds of support, giving land o r personal property to a chi ld if that
child would care for them in their old age. The arrangement didn't a lways work. and a second
deed several years later mighl switch Lhe agreement to a diITerent child.
I love finding "et al" in a deed index. It may indicate a qu it c laim in which one or more siblings
(usually with spouses named) sold their rights in thei r father's property. often to a nother sibling.
Quit claims may be years (or even decades) after the father's death. Why? Likely th e m other
recently died and her dower thirds reverted to the estate, making it easier for the c hildren to
divide or sell the land.
TAX RECORDS
One of my favorite sources is tax records because they were created annua ll y. lt is so comforting
to see William, his 50 acres, and his two cows being assessed year after year because it makes
me confident I haven't combined two different men. The new entry for "John of W ." tells me of a
relationship, and the entry for "William est." tells me of his death. l just wish tax records
survived for more states.
COURT RECORDS
Tedious to use because they are usually unpubli shed and unindexed, court record s (especially
depositions) can be a gold mine. Deponents were often identified by age, such as "Thomas, aged
about 45." I have one family who appears only rarely in Massachusetts vital and church records,
but whose relationships (amicable and otherwise) are detailed in depositio ns, m ost of which
(fortunately) are in print.

Once we break ourseJves of thinking, "I just need to find a bi11h record" (or marriage record or
tombstone or Bible record or will), we have a much better chance of adding ancestors to our
family trees.

Dear Fellow Members,
With this issue of the VAN we come to the end of the Grant Bryant Funeral Home
Books. We would like to thank Lucy Bryant Hurst again for allowing us to publish her
transcription of them. In future issues we will publish cemetery records from Radford ,
VA and transcriptions by Charles Burton. If any member has material that they would
like to see published in the VAN, please send it to us .
At a recent board meeting the Society received the final accounting for the sale of
Charles Burton's book, Botetourt County, Early Settlers. Seventy-five copies of the
book were printed and all were sold. Buyers, besides members, included The Library of
Virginia, The DAR Library and The Allen County Public Library . Two copies were sent
to The Library of Congress for copyright purposes. After all was said and done, the
Society made a profit of $606.20. Not bad for a first attempt at publishing! This money
will used to purchase materials related to Virginia genealogical research. Mr. Burton
gave the Society the rights to his material in the hope that it would be made available to
researchers and any monies made would benefit the Society. I believe that we have
begun to fulfill his wishes. We hope to publish another book in the coming year. The
Society wishes to thank Don Martindale for overseeing this project.
Once again we are getting ready for election of officers. We need people to volunteer to
hold an office . The Society cannot keep going if there are no officers. This fall we will
vote on ch~~ges to ~he by-laws that will help the problem, but we NEED volunteers to fill
vacant pos1t1ons. It 1s YOUR Society. Please consider being a part of it.
Happy Hunting ,

happened to the person I hat was listed as insane, deaf mute, convicted in court ofa crime? 'The local

What Are the Records for Castle Garden?
Prio r to the opening of Ellis Island, immigrant processing was the responsibility of the st~te, and
. before 1855, there was no official center. In 1855, the State of New York began proces_smg
immigrants through the facilities at Castle Garden (previously known as Castle CJznton). m
response to a massive influx of immigrants. Trus did not prove to be the best poss~Je site,
though, because as the new immjgrru1ls Jefi the facilities, they were routinely exploited by con
men, who sold them phony tickets to various destinations, took their money in exchange for
non-existent jobs, or found other ways to pa.it the unwruy immigrant with his or her money.
No administrative lists from Castle Garden are known to have survived, but the National
Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has microfilmed copies of pas~nger lists from
this period . That's the good news. Now for the bad news: There is no central index to these
records. NARA's "Immim-ant and Passenger Arrivals: Select Catalog ofNARA Microfilm
Publications" lists the fottowing for New York, New York under 'Index to Publications by Port'·
Indexes to passenger lists
1820-1 846 [M26 I]
1897-1 902 [T51 9]
1902-1943 (T621]
1906-1942 [T61 2 ]
1944- 1948 [M 1417] Passenger lists
1820-1897 [M23 7)
1897-1957 (i ncl udes crew lists) (T71 5] Registers ofvessels, 1789- 1919 [M1066]
The letter/number combination in brackets is the NARA seties number. Within each series are
varying numbers of films. The lists of microfilm rolls are available here.
More good news: There are efforts to post the lists online through websites like the lmmigrant
Ship Transcribers Guild, or Olive Tree Genealogy.

LABELING CEMETERY PHOTOS
I take a lot of cemetery photos. It's easy to forget which cemetery a photo was taken in, so I u se
address labels. I print a sheet with the name of the cemetery, the town, county, a nd state . This
way, I c~ quickly and easily attach the label to the back of the photo. It's so much faster than
hand wntmg the name and address on the back.

THE FIVE-MILE RULE FOR GENEALOGISTS ....
A young man couldn't go courting at night much further than five miles or he wouldn't make it back home
the next morning in time for farm chores. Five miles was a long way to go, on foot, on horsebac~ or by
bugm:· Young men often married young women within that five-mile radius, so look at the tax lists to see
who lived within that radius. You may find the maiden name of your female ancestor.

DNA study finds no difference from other American whites

rrwre nurture than nature
For generations, "Melungeon" was a
pejorative that settlers in remote
Appalachian villages directed toward their
darker neighbors.
By CHRIS KAHN
THE ASSOC/A TED PRESS

The bright-eyed, olive-skinned "Melungeons''
from the mountains of central Appalachia are of
mostly European ancestry mixed with traces of
American Indian, African, Middle Eastern and Asian
bloodlines, according to a DNA study released
today.
The study, based on hair samples from l 00
unrelated women in East Tennessee and Southwest
Virginia, suggests that Melungeons are genetically
no different from other American whites and their
identity is based largely on the shared cultural expe·
rience of living in the hardscrabble region.
"Melu.ngeons are almost anything they want
themselves to be," said geneticist Kevin Jones from
the University of Virginia's College at Wise, who
spent two years analyzing the samples.
Jones matched the Melungeon mitochondrial
DNA, which passes through the ~ternal line, with
genetic samples from the National Institute of
Health's world gene databank. He fo~d. that 83 of
the I 00 women had genetic charactenstics m?st
frequently found in Europe. Six showed Amen~an
Indian genetic sequences, and five showed Afncan
sequences. Six more fit in the European category
but had genetic charact.eristics associated with people from no rt.hem India or Turkey.
"This is exactly what I expected," said Brent
Kennedy of Wise, who has led a Melungeon pride
movement during the past 15 years.
Instead of the traditional theory that Appalachian people are a loose mix of white, black and
American Indian, Kennedy believes that they_ are
also descended from lost Indian tribes, Spa.rush conquistadors, even Mediterranean slaves who fled to
the mountains during Colonial times.
·
Kennedy said the trace amounts of Middle Ea.stem blood in the sample shows the "disappearing
lega~" of Melungeons, many of whom intermarried
to fi~ m with their Scots-Irish neighbors.

~avid Henige, a free-lance historian at the Uni·
versi~ of Wisconsin at Madison said the DNA study
does. Little to solidify the Melungeon claim of an
exotic origin.
"lf ~Y DNA was sequenced. it probably

Brent Kennedy (left) and his brother Richard talk
during a Melungeon gathenng last year in Vardy,
Tenn. Brent Kennedy said the lesson people should
take from the study is that everyone is mixed with a
greater diversity than they know.

toward their darker neighbors. Calling someone
Melungeon was enough to start fights.
"l remember once when the census takers cruTIC
around, and my grandmother told me to go inside,"
said Connie Clark of Big Stone Gap , who has what
many consider the classic Melungeon look of jet
black hair, dark skin and hazel eyes. "She said,
'They don't need to see you.' "
Recently, people living in the Appalachian
Mountains said they've learned Lo embrace their dif.
ferences and now e&gt;.-press pride in their mixed heritage.

The Melungeon Heritage Association was
fonned in 1998 and paid for part of Jones' study . It
will unveil the results at its Fourth Union convention today in Kingsport, Tenn.
"Many people who studied the Melungeons
scoffed at our claims of a Mediterranean heritage,•·
association president Wayne Wmkler sajd. "They
said this was some story that Lhey made up to deny
being black. WeU, we've proven ourselves with the
DNA."

.

After looking at the data, Winkler and Kennedy
acknowledged that there is little difference between
Melungeon DNA and that of any other Caucasian in
America.
But the lesson people should take from the
study, Kennedy said, is that everyone is m.ixed with
a greater diversity than they know.
Jones said he plans to publish his study sometime neXL year and will now focus his research on
the possible genetic origin.-. of sarcoidos1s and famil·
ial Mediterranean fever - ::til111e nL&lt;; found in Appalac hia lhat are more comm on in the :v1edite rranean
and the Middle East. He said treatments are effect.ive for the fever. but doctu rs may not diagnose it
because they don't expect Lo see it in Caucasian
people.

Dear Fellow Members,
We have a problem. Only a few of you come to the meetings. I can't figure it out. We
try to have interesting programs. Sometimes they cover genealogy topics. Sometimes
they're more historical in nature. Nothing seems to work. What's the problem? What
are we doing wrong? I wish the members would tell us. The officers serve at your
pleasure, but we can't read your minds. So, in light of the decline in attendance l am
going to propose at the next board meeting that we decrease the number of meetings to
only one or two per session. In other words, one, possibly two meetings in the fall and
the same in the winter/spring. I would really like to hear from members in the Roanoke
area as to how they feel about this change. Please feel free to call or e-mail me.
In this issue of the VAN we'll conclude the Covington , VA City Directory . There is still
more of the Grant Bryant Funeral Home Books to be published . Since the index to the
2001 VAN and the index to this year's VAN will contain reference to all the surnames in
the books we have decided to let this serve as the cumulative index. Hold on the your
VANs!1

In September the Roanoke Public Library and the Virginia Room will host a one-day
genealogy workshop featuring Sheila Steele Hunt. There is a registration fee. See the
bottom of the table of contents page for all the information. Additionally, at the April
meeting the society presented the library with a check for $1 ,000 to help cover the cost
of purchasing the 1930 Virginia Census and Soundex.
Finally, I call your attention to the proposed changes to the by-laws on page 75. We will
vote on them at a fall meeting.
Happy Hunting ,

Locate Civil War
.relatives online
..L

I receive a lot of correspondence about Civil War ancestors.
The letters are fascinating and I
try to include as many of them as
I can when I 'write my·columns.
But I also get many questions
that ask for information about
finding a Civil War ancestor when
all the writer has is a name and
maybe an inkling of where the
person lived. This pres~nts problems and I have generally suggested that the writer make
friends with his or her local librarian.
However, there are ways of
going about a search on your
own, and '"' ith the generous guidance of the Civil War Preservation Trust, I am going to discuss
them in this colwnn. The CWPT
puts out a publication, Hallowed
Ground, and a recent issue gave
detailed information about finding a relative who may have
fought i.11 the Civil War.

JL

that the census is indexed by the
head of the household, which may
be either the man you are seeking
or ms father. If you try this method, you should at least know
where he enlisted so you will have
an ~dea of whq can be excluded.
• cwc.lsu.edu is excellent if you
have the name and the state or
place where he enlisted. Go to
"Researching People in the Civil
War Era." States are enonnously
proud of the contributions their
citizens made during the Civil
War. Most have published histories of their military units and ·
often they have references to individual soldiers. This is one of the
best sites I have found for Civil
War information of all kinds.
• scv.orglmembership/genealogy .asp is the address of Sons of
Confederate Veterans Genealogy
Network. It details information by
state, including several from the
North.

U you have a male ancestor
who lived in this country during
the Civil W.ar, there is a good
chance that he served in the military. About 50 percent of draft
age men (generally 18 to 35) in
the North served in the Union
Army; about 75 percent of draft
age men in the South served in
the Confederate Army.
At a minimum, you should
know his name. It is a plus if you
also know where he enlisted or
was conscripted and the company
or regiment he joined. Check with
family members who may have ·
infonnation about the relative
you are researching. Often a distant cousin will have just the file
or photo or discharge paper you
need.
However, even if all you have
is the name, there are records
available on the Intern~t. lf you
do not have access to a computer, then try to use the one at the
local library.
Hallowed Ground suggests
these Internet addresses in any
search. I checked them and they
are up and running: ·
• itd.nps.gov/cwss is the address
for the "Civil War Soldiers and
Sailors System" of the National
Park Service. At this site you can
start with a name and go from
there.
• fisher.lib.virginia.edu/census
can give you the Federal Census
of 1860. This site is invaluable iI
aU you have is the name. Note

1I
• nara.gov/gencalogy/civilwar/
html is the site if you know both
the soldier's name and his regiment. This is the address of U1e
National Archives in Washington,
and people there are delighted to
help with Civil War research.
There is a small fee.
'l\vo-excellent books summarize most of this information:
"Tracing Your Civil War Ancestor," by Bertram Groene, and ·
"Civil War. Genealogy," by George
Schweitzer. In addition, many Virginia Civil War regiments have
their own Web sites, complete
with their battle histories and
names of individuals who served.
I started with Google and typed in
"Civil War r~giments Virginia" .
and found an enormous amount
of information.
Finally, you can write the
Civil War Preservation Trust al
1331 H St. N.W., #1001, Wash. ington DC 20005. .

Years ago a Kentucky grandmother gave the new bride the following receipt, for washing clothe&gt;...s.

1. Bi \t fire in backyard to heat kettle of rain water.
2.Set rubs so srroke wont blow in eyes if wind is pert.
3. Srove one h:&gt;le cake of lie soap in bi I in water.
4. Sort thir.g, mike three piles. 1 pile white, 1 pile colored, 1 pi le work britches and rags.
5.To rrake starch, stir flour in cood water to smooth, then thin down with bi Ii n water.
6.Take white things.rub diriy spots on board, scrub hard, and then bi l e.
Rub colore:ci dont bi le, just rinch and starch.
7. Take things out of kettle with broomstick handle, then ri nch, and
starch.
8. Hang old rags on fence.

9. Spread tea towels on grass.
10.Pore rinch water in flower bed.
11.Scrub porch with hot soapy water.
12.Turn tubs upside down.

Tombstones and flowers
. Rea.?er Mary Williams of Pulaski pi:ovid~ tiu: week's digital camera news by
shanng tips for using her Olympus D-490
camera to record tOrnbstones relatmg to her genealogy research.
. "I am dabbling in genealogy and also
like to go to vartous cemeferies to make
lists of all the stones. I t is very tirneconswning te try to write out all the information or expensive to take pictures. with
~ 35 mm and" have them de:velqped,'' Willi~ .:wrote. I have fourid that digital
worllS fine for this purpose. The 8 MB
card that came with ~e camera at the lowest resolution gives me 139 pictUres, and
the 32 MB card I bought will give me
399."
,
Initially, Williams hesitated to use the
lowest resolution setting on her camera
but finds it works well and produces readable stones. She transcribes the informa. tion on the stones from the screen and
then erases the images.
She also reminds us that the camera
cards are dropping in price. A year ago,
she paid more than $100 for a 32 MB
card, but she recently bought a 64 MB
card for about $30.
Nothing solves the battery need, so it
is .necessary to have two sets of rechargeables, she said.
If you wish to take a look at some of
Williams' non-cemetery art, check out the
daylily photo albwu on her Web site,

!he above article appeared in the March 12, 2002 issue of the Roanoke Times. Mary Williams

wil!

ts a member of the society. In future issues of the VAN we
publish her tr~nscription of
R~d~ord, Virginia's Central Cemetery. The original copy was gwen to the so~1ety by Ms.
Wtlhams and placed in the Virginja Room. We feel that those members outside the area would
also enjoy seeing it .

My husband and I have a di oital camera and we ha ve fow1d it a great help in recording our
family history. We've used 10 copy photographs whi le visiting ~amily, much easier then trying
to find a copy machine! It also g ives clear close ups of text matenat You load the photos into
your computer where you can view or print them. A 1.3 magapixel camera is adequate for most
needs. I t will give you 4x6 prints that rival regular 3 5 millimeter ones. Many photo centers no\"
will make prints from digital sou rces. You can even order prints online at WVl.T'\N . shutterfly.com
or wv.rw. Kodak.com You simply upload your images to t he website and your prints are mailed
you usually the ne&gt;...' t day.

P. 0. Box 12485
Roanoke, Virginia 24026

Dear Fellow Members,
This issue marks the beginning of the 2002 VAN. For those of you who have not paid your 2002
dues this will be your last issue! For your convenience there is a renewal form on the last page
of this issue. Also, there are still a few copies of Charles T . Burton's book, Botetourt County,
Virginia, Early Settlers left. An order blank is provided for your convenience.

I hope you all had happy holiday season. Perhaps you had a chance to talk with family members
and pick up some new infonnation. In my case, I discovered that I could easily order the
military records of my great uncle who served in WWI with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces.
They are available at the Canadian National Achieves in Ottawa, Canada. He is a "mystery". He
eventually left bis home and family, never to be heard from again. The records, at least, give a
glimpse at a special period in his life.
In April the 1930 US census will be released. Some of us will be lucky. The state they are
interested in has a Soundex. Others, like myself, won' t be so lucky. Only l 0 states and portions
of two other were Soundexed. Enter Stephen Morse and friends. He created the website to help
find people in Ellis Island passenger lists and now he has one to help locate the correct
Enumeration District in larger US cities. You need to know the street where you expect to find
the family. Plugging in the street name will give you the ED number or numbers. Clicking on
the numbers will tell you other streets in the ED. Hopefu11y, this information will narrow your
search area. I'll be excited to try it after the April release. The site can be found at:
http://home.pacbell.net/spmorse/census.

We still need local members to fill some of the elected officer positions. If you live in the
Roanoke area, please consider offering to serve in one. Without help it will difficult to continue
providing the services society members expect. Please support us by attending meeting and
offering to help out.
Happy Hunting,

TIP
IDDDEN TREASURE IN F AWL Y BOOKS
With the exception of the Family Bible, you may have trouble deciding what to do with a
relative's books. It is really hard to discard old books, but many times there is just no room to
store them. However, before donating the~ always leaf through to look for hidden treasures.
You never know what someone might have used for a bookmark. I have found newspaper
articles, receipts, and even a hand written note from my grandfather to his mother written in
1907.

TIP

CMIBRAS AT THE CEMETERY
I have found that taking a notebook and a disposable c~mera to_ a cemetery can be very helpful.
Sometimes after locating a gravesite and jotting down information on scraps _of paper, I would
often misplace or even lose them. Now, by taki~g a camera ~ong, I h~ve a visual backup that I
can scan into my computer and keep in my family file to rerrund me of where the find was.
Joanne Burnett
BRING A BROOM

I've just returned from a very old cemetery in Pasadena, California, where I was searching for my
husband's ancestors. Many old trees in the area had shed leaves, making it hard to locate names
and markers at a glance. It was also a larger cemetery with many raised monuments that made it
impossible fo r the caretakers to keep up with cleaning off the flat markers. I wished l had
broug ht some sort of small tool, perhaps a small, short-handled, child-sized broom that l could
use to sweep the leaves ofT without stooping, and without hruming the markers

�BOTETOURT COUNTY, VIRGINIA,
EARLY SETTLERS
By Charles T. Burton

Throughout southwestern Virginia, Charles T. Burton was a well known and respected
genealogist and historian who compiled a large amount of data. The Southwestern Vrrginia
Genealogical Society is pleased to announce the publication of Charles T. Burton's wor~
Botetourt County, Virginia Early Settlers. In this compilation he confined his presentation to
the 1782 land area of Botetourt County. In that year the indicated area encompassed all or
portions of: Monroe county, West Virginia and the present day Virginia counties ofMontgomery,
Floyd, Giles, Roanoke, Craig, Allegheny and Bath. During his many years of researching, he
coJlected material relating to the 1740 to 1795 land transactions of the early settlers in the
indicated area. This compilation was his attempt to index this material. Approximately 2000
individuals are listed alphabetically by their surname and then their given name. These entries are
followed by an identification of the county where the record is located, along with the type of
record, its boo~ page, date, and quite often the acreage and location of the land.
This compilation consists of 133 pages of names. It has a soft cover and a cloth binding. Only a
small number of copies have been printed and, unless the demand exceeds our expectations, we
will not republish it. It is an excellent resource for use in identifying many of the early settlers and
in locating most of their early documents that relate to the 1782 Botetourt land area.. Purchase
information is on the order blank.

Purchase cost is as indicated below. Make checks payable to: Southwestern Virginia Genealogical
Society, Inc. or SVGS, Inc. Orders should be mailed to:

Dear Fellow ·Members,
The events of September 11 have caused us all to think long and hard about our famil ies As
"family historians" we have the responsibility to keep the memories of those who a re gone alive
Sometimes we think that no one cares about our "work". How many times have we gotten a
"cold shoulder" when we start asJcjng questions about family members? Something keeps us
going, though. Maybe it's just our desire to know more about these people. Perhaps, though, it's
for times like this. Hopefully, people who lost family and friends on that hoTTibl e day wi ll
preserve their memories of those individuals so that they can be passed down t o those who come
after. How will young child know his parent or grandparent if no one keeps the m "alive" in th e ir
memory? Our work is worthwhile and we should encourage other to preserve the ir past and
present.
At the risk of repeating myself, I want to mention the Ellis Island site again . ln mid-September l
finally found the passenger ship entry for my grandfather and great-grandmother t han ks to the
help of a website. Stephen Morse has created a website that allows you to search more then one
field at a time. It is very helpful when there is a spelling error in the surname you are seeki ng.
Anyone with an ethnic surname knows-this is the biggest problem with the Ellis Island material .
The site can be found at: http://home.pacbell.net/spmorse/ellis/ellis.html Thanks to Stephen
there is another tool to help you.

I recently attended an old postcard show. I have been collecting postcards from places in
England that my ancestors lived in or near. Many date from the time period they actually lived
there. Postcards can add to your knowledge of ancestors by showing you places they lived and
worked. Many building no longer exist. Old postcards capture these memories for us.
Election of officers will take place at the November meeting . As I write this there are still
positions to be filled; recording secretary, corresponding secretary and membership chairperson
among them. If you can help with any of these offices, please contact me.
Happy Hunting,
Karen Kappesser, President

�SISSON CEMETERY
T his F loy d Co unty cemetery was established near Simpsons, circa 1865 by members
of th e L udlow B. and Cath erine Grisso Sisson family. A large number of the first
hu rials in th e cemetery were marked with local flat tieldstones showing no
id e ntification. Commercial markers were used in later years and some of the native
~ tones were replaced with th e new modern cut stones. From Simpsons, VA on road
65.3 Shawsvillc Pike, turn left on Diamond Knob Road and travel about one mile.
T urn left on School House Lane (Washington School used to be in this vicinity).
You will be on a very narrow road and will come to a "No Trespassing" sign. Stop 3
little beyond the sign and the cemetery will be up the hill on your left. You will have
to hack out until you can find a place to turn around. Words in parentheses have
been added for clarification.
Some of the unidentified burials there are known to be:
Ludlow B(ranham) Sisson, b. Feb. 3, 1797 in Rockbridge Co., d. March 12, 1886
(son of Stanley Sisson &amp; CatrinJCatherine Kirkwood. Stanley was born in Orange

A Guide to C hurch R ecords in the Library of Virginia. Compiler: GeraldP. Gaidmore.
Publish ed b y: The L ibrary of Virginia. 188 pages; paperbound. Price: $20.00

This g uide is a r e vis ion of A Guide to Church Records in the Archives Branch, Virginia
State Library and Archives, published in 1981. Since then, the Library ofVirginia has
s ubs tantially increased its ho ldings of cl1urch records. Arranged alphabetically by denomination
or r e lig ion, this g uide contains a descrii:ition of the records of the Baptist, Church of the Brethren,
Catholic, Christian (Disciples of Christ); Episcopal, Friends, Jev.rish, Luther~ German
Reformed, M ethodis t , P e ntecostal, Presbyterian, Unitarian-Universalist, and United Brethren in
Christ denominations housed at the Library. The records cover more than three centuries of
Virg inia's relig ious history. Although not every denomination recorded information about
baptisms, births, bLu·iaJs, deaths. and marriages, researchers can glean important genealogical
data from the c hurc h records. Of particular importance are the parish registers of the Anglican
(now Protestant Episcopal) Church, which were required by law to record vital statistics for each
paris h.

The g uide includes a n index, a glossary, and an appendix indicating the locations of extant
Anglican paris h r egisters. Each entry in this guide has been described in the Library of Virginia's
online Archives and Manuscripts Catalog. This guide provides to researchers fil 11 information
at their fingertips about the large and important church holdings in the Archives of the Library of
Virginia.

th a n th ose fc \ v t h a t \ Vere lis ted as head s of household) were named on the census, and you have
th e r ecipe for a Vl..! T&gt;' e lu s ive ancest ress! Cathe rine Kelly was my third great-grandmother, but I
am g u essing mos t of ~1 ou have si mila r c haracters in your family trees. So how are we to find
th ese wo m e n ') H ere are som e t hings to keep in mind.
HOM E S O U R CES AN D LO NG-LO ST C OUSINS

As w ith any o th er kind o f resea rc h. d o n't o verlook home sourcesFamilymembersmay have
s aved o ld le t ter s . paper s. n ews cli p pings. a nd stories that may contain either the exact
informati o n yo u a r c lo oking for about a woman relative or at least the clues to point you in her
dire cti o n . B esides the s p ecific d etails o ld letters contain, they often carry the personalities of the
write r s . S ome times fi ll e d w ith humor, sadness. and spiced with a bit of gossip (and who doesn't
like a bit of gossip now and the n! ), these letters paint a portrait of the writer and lend light to her
pers pective on life .
Also, neve: u~dere stimat.e the information long-lost cousins may have. Interview them! One of
my mother s distant cous m s was able to tell us that Catherine Kelly had died in Rochester, New
York . W e wo~ild neve r have thoug ht to look there had it not been for that cousin1s information,
which we g ain e d from the interview my mother conducted with the cousin. The cemetery record
we found in Rochester for Catherine Kelly, with a death date of 1850 at 26 years of age, is one of
the few records we have of this ancestor.

COURT R E CORDS
Court r e cords are often great places to find women because women show up regularly in even
the earliest recordings. Probate cases are a natural place to start look.ina. Probates typically deal
w ith a decedent's w ill or the distribution of property. Family relationsh.i~s are usually spelled out
in these docun1ents, and you will often find details about women, including their maiden names,
p laces of residence, ages (sometimes), and personalities. An interesting will we uncovered.
showed that one woman left most of her considerable estate to a couple of her mends, while ~he
gave her own children only a dollar each. Some probate records are so detailed that they provide
genealogie s of fanulies going back for several generations.
When Cathe rine 's g randdau g hter died, the guardianship papers that were filed for her children
included the addresses of several inherited properties. By tracing the origins of the real estate
through property records, we mig ht get lucky.

�CEMETERY RECORDS
In the cemetery, study all t he names of people who may be buried in a famil y plot Often. \" e rely
on indexes and happily copy the name of the individuals we know. never looking at t.he
interment records as a whole. Names of grandmothers, sisters, aunts, and other relauves arc
frequently missed because we rely too heavily on indexes. Also note who is buried in nearby
plots. You may find other family members buried nearby, and a name that doesn't mean much to
you at first may become an important clue down the road.

When searching for an elusive female, dig up all you can on the men in her life. Because many
of our female ancestresses had few or no legal rights (depending on the time and place in which
they lived), they often left very few records of their own. But fortunately, even if they didn't
create any records of their own, the records created by the men in their Jives--husbands, fathers,
grandfathers, brothers, sons--often carry a mention of these women, or at least a few clues about
their identities.
SIBLINGS COUNT
Keep in mind that the siblings of the woman you are trying to find could lead you to her.
Catherine Kelly is said to have had a brother named James. Granted, there were a whole lot of
fellows by the name of James Kelly roaming around New York in the time period we are
researching, but if we look for them in the census, city directories, court records, county
histories, newspaper stories, military records and other places where men can u sually be more
easily ferreted out, we may have some luck.
·
At one point we had our eye on a James Kelly who served in the Civil War. If he had tun1ed o ut
to be the right guy, his records just might have taken us back another generation to hi~ parents.
But alas, we were unable to make a connection, and we will have to find another place to pick up
Catherine's trail.
GRASP EVERY FACT YOU CAN FIND
This may seem like stating the obvious, but it's important. It also means not relying on databases,
indexes, extracts, and abstracts. It means checking original sources, even those where you have
come up dry in the indexes or in online databases. There are several important reasons for this.
First, the original often contains important information not found in the above-mentioned
formats . Maybe it wasn't important to the abstracter to record the names of all the witn esses, but
if the witnesses were family members, we miss an important clue by not consulting the original.

GATHER BACKGROUND INFORMATION
By famjliarizing yourself with the laws and government agencies for a particular time and place,
you may find other avenues to explore. Were women allowed to own property at that time? Was
your ancestress entitled to a military pension via one of the men in her life? What were the

Dear Fellow Members,
Summer is almost over. I hope you all had a wonderful one. Jn my last letter 1 me nt io ned that
my husband and I were off to England to visit my second cousins, fo und throug h my ge nealob'Y
work. We had a wonderful time!! One cousin lives in Dorset and we explored this cou nty fro m
top to bottom, literately. Then it was off to Kent, home to my ancestors. We saw o ld friends,
family and visited new areas of the county.
With this issue, the Society launches its first publication. Many of you are fam ilia r w it h C harles
T. Burton' s work in Botetourt County. In Botetourt County, Virginia, Early Settlers he
indexed early land transactions he found during his research. Between 1740 and 1795 Botetourt
County included land that later became part of other Virginia counti es. Full detai ls and an order
form can be found on the last page of the VAN. If you have interests in this area, this book is for
you.
I recently learned that the website, www.genealogy.com has the 1900 census with a head-ofhousehold index on line. It is a pay-for-view site but you can subscrib e for as little as one
month. I have not used the site yet but, if you have need for the 1900 census, a one-month trial
would be worth a shot. I have had some great results using the Ellis I sland records site at
www.ellisislandrecords.org A family story had my great-great g randfather coming from

England to the USA for a visit. Searching the site I proved that he did come in 1898 and the
original passenger list image, available online, showed he was going to Toledo, Ohio to visit his
son.
Finally, and I hate to bring this up again, election of Society officers will be coming in
November. Please, please consider offering to serve. Many of the current officers are doing
"double duty". We need help. We can't continue to carry the Joad be ourselves. If you live in
the Roanoke area please consider giving just a little time to the Society so that we can continue
to function.
Happy Hunting,

REVIEW EARLY RESEARCH
If you've been researching your family for a while, go back and look at your earliest
research. You might find what I did:
-- Some holes in my research that 1didn't notice because I was new.
-- Some good leads that I didn't notice because I was new.
-- Some information right there in my documents that I didn't notice
because--yup, you got it--1 was new.
That early research looks a lot better now that 1took a second look and filled .in some
blanks. And I have some clues back another generation-and here I thought it was a
brick wa ll.

Dear Fellow Members,
By the time you read this letter I will be in England visiting my cousins. Those of you w h o
know me have heard this story before. But, for those of you who haven't. it is worth retelling.
My great grandmother corresponded with her two sisters in Kent, E ngland up until he r d eath in
1956. No family member kept it going. In 1995 I decided to try contacting any fami ly still left
over there. With the help of a friend in Kent, I wrote to newspapers there asking the m to please
print my letter giving what I know of my British relatives. As luck wo uld have it, the daughter
of great grandma's youngest sister was still alive and read the Jetter. She and her daug hter wrote
to me and later another "cousin" now living in Dorset replied. l met both on a trip to England in
1998 and in 1999 the Dorset couple visited us here in Virginja. Now it's our turn to visit Dorset
and Kent. The moral of this story is: try every way you can think of to add to your family
history. You never know what you might turn up!
On the computer front there. are two items of interest to report. Since the early 1990's the LDS
Church and the Ellis Island Foundation have been hard at work preparing data on those who
passed through Ellis Island. The years covered are 1892 to 1924. As of April 18, 200 l the
information is available at: www.ellisisland.org I haven't been able to access the site yet, too
much "traffic, but I saw a demonstration on TV. Looks VERY interesting. Secondly, the re is a
new version of PAF (Personal Ancestral File), which includes a program to allow you to p lace
your data on a hand held computer (Pahn Pilot or Visor). PAF is offered free on the Internet by
the LDS Church at: www.familysearch.org Click on the heading at the top, order/download
products. This is a great program in general. I've used it for years and best of alJ; it's free!
Finally, I have the sad duty to report the passing of a long time member, Ruth Hale. Ruth was
one of the first persons I met when I joined and, besides being a friend, was a great h elp w ith my
German family research. A fund to place a book in her memory has been established. Make
checks payable to: Roanoke Public Library Foundation and note it is for a book for Ruth Hale.
If written another way, the funds go into the general fund and the Virginia Room does not benefit
from it. This goes for any donation you may make to them.

Alleghany County, Virginia
Compiled by Marshall D. "Don" Vaughan

t

Alleghany County, VA, takes its name from the mountain range in which it is
located. It was formed on January 5, 1822 by an act of the Virginia Legislature
from portions of Botetourt, Bath, and Monroe counties. At that time Monroe was
a Virginia county and remained so until the seperation of West Virginia from
Virginia. Prior to 1822, any records of Alleghany County would have been kept
in Botetourt County.
The county (1990 pop. - 12,200) is about 452 square miles of which ne~rly
50% is National Forest. The county surrounds two independent cities, Covington
(1990 pop. - 6 ,900 ) and Clifton Forge (1990 pop. - 4,400 ). Other populated
areas include Rich Patch, Low Moor, Longdate, Sharon, Selma, Iron G~te ,
Wrightsville (an African-American community), Potts Creek, Falling Sprrng,
Callaghan, Sweet Springs, Hematite, Johnson Creek, Boiling Springs, and
Sweet Chalybeate.
·
Prominent surnames of the county include Alexander, Anderson, A~mentrout,
Brown, Campbell, Carpenter, Carter, Dressler, Ellis, Fridley, Fudge, Gibson,
Hammond, Hughes, Humphries, Johnson, Jones, Knighton, Lewis, McAllister,
Martin, Nicely, Oliver, Payne, Persinger, Pitzer, Plott, Revercomb, Rice, Scott,
Smith , Taylor, Thompson, Williams, Wright, and Young.
A quick survey of historical and natural features include Humpback Bridge,
Falling Spring, Milton Hall, Clifton Iron Furnace, and Rainbow Rock.
"Mad Ann" Bailey, Captain Joseph H. Carpenter, Sam Chapman, Lad~ Milton,
William Scott, and L. Bernard Pitzer make for interesting reading in the history of
Alleghany County.

�The Alleghany County Court House contains the usual required coll ect ion of
deeds, plats, marriage records, birth records, death records , and court orders .
Some of the more unusual holdings include photographs with a lady "showing a
lot of knee" from a 1920's divorce and a lawsuit against a 1949 Chevrolet.
Within the last ten years, concerted effort has been made to catalog , clean ,
microfilm, and file the records. Especially noteable is the effort made to sort the
records in the basement. The Clerk of Court and a volunteer have done a
magnificent job of giving everything a file number and a packet number along
with an index.
The court house has the "Williamson File" (the early records of what is now
Clifton Forge), Poor Farm Papers 1870-1935, Supervisor's files, Ethridge E . Burr
and others vs. Char/es A. Kraft (fisherman vs. landowners) , coroner's inquests
from 1BOO's to early 1900's, copies of a questionaire sent to veterans of World
war\ from Alleghany County, and copies of Confederate money (the real stuff is
in the safe).
A volunteer that has devoted several years of her life to preserving the
holdings and records is on duty three days a :week.

Covington
Covington was designated a toWf! in 1819 follo~i~g. the sale of lots from 25
acres owned by Dr. James Merry. Prror to the subd1v1s1on and the naming of the
town, records refer to the site as "Mouth of the Dunlap". The town became a city
of the second class on December 20, 1952.
The bfggest boost to progress in the area was the dec ision in 1899 by West
Virginia Pulp and Paper Company (WESTVACO) to locate a mill at Covington.
The pulp mill stimulated the development and growth of other industrial and
commercial interests.

V!RGlN!A APP.\L.f,C! 11;\N NOTES

�Clifton Forge
Clifton Forge, a city of the first class, was originally called Williamson after
the family which owned the land on which the city is located . In 1882, the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company named its new depot there "Clifton
Forge". With the coming of the railroad, it became not only a railroad junction but
a division point. After this, growth was very rapid and in 1906 Clifton Forge
became an independent city.

NOTE: A referendum to revert to town status will go to the voters on
March 6, 2001. If the result is positive for relinquishing the city charter,
the city records will be sent to the Alleghany County Court House in
Covington, VA.

She traveled throughout Craig
County, recording family histories
and tombstone inscriptions.
By LAUREN ARESTIE
THE ROANOKE TIMES
Ruth Hale spent her life trudging
through forests in search of cemeteries,
salvaging photographs and Bibles, and
poring over census records. In Ute process,
she prevented pieces of history from slipping away forever.
Hale, of Cloverdale, died Sunday at age
74. Her research on the genealogy of
Southwest Virginia residents, however, will
benefit historians for years to come.
"Ruth Hale's work was a gift to researchers," said Carol Tuckwiller, director
of research and archives for the National
D-Oay Memorial Foundation. Tuckwiller
worked for 30 years in the downtown
Roanoke Public Library's Virginia Room,

which houses some of Hale's records.
"She did a great service to the field of
genealogy," Tuc kwiller said. "And she was
such a sweet lady. She was one of those
special people who only comes along every
once in a while."
Hale was born in Gennany, but took an
interest in the history of her husband's
family in Craig County. She traveled
throughout the county, visiting families
who had been there fqr generations and
recording their stories ..
"She would borrow people's old photographs and family Bibles and make copies
of them," Tuckwiller said. "A lot of those
important records would have been thrown
out if Ruth didn't see their value and save
them.~

Hale also visited old cemeteries and
kept meticulous records of the inscriptions
on the headstones. Many cemeteries are
destroyed by new construction in rural

areas, and Hale's information is the only

No city or town of tod&lt;&gt;y cn n be expected to prosper wi th out making
mu nicipn l improvements; without suc h it will never be looked upo n ns being
nny gqod. or hnving a ny future, but simply will be coiled dcnd o r a hos-been.
In busi ness ci rcles the Ciry Directory is just ns impor tant to t he heo lth nnd
vigo r of a busi ness, whatever line it may be, us municipol improvement .. o re
to the heal th nnd vigor of a town; they bo th ~o hnnd in ha nd; they both
m ean prog ress fo r they both stand for EFFICIENCY, whic h loc t is bein15 m ore
vividly demon strat ed, fo r th ere a rc ihousnnds of City Di r ectori es in use now
w here there were to be found co mparn tively few o nly a very short p eri od ogo.
The business world hos awakened to th e renlizn ti on of this need, for
there o re very few towns of a ny con~cqucncc thot do not hove o City Directory. Ju st how up-to -date or co mpl ete the directo ry is depends in most
coses up o n th e sup port accorded the pu blis her, provided, o f co urs e, th at th ey
kn o w their business.
It is an old saying that you cu n judge u man by the clothes he wears.
Whet her thi 11 . be true or not matt e rs little, we nil know thot it is ge nerally
done; often no doubt to the di sodvuntnge o f 8om cu ne. Ju11t oa much as a
mo n is judged by his clothes, just so much is th e bueinesa life o nd octivities
of a tow n or communi ty judged by its Directo ry.
A c ity direc tory is th e m os t complete und the o nly re cog nized sta ndard
boo k o f reference regarding th e citizens of o co mmunity, ond thei r address.
Wh en you consult a Direc tory of u t own, you con e1JSily determine if it is up to
stnndard, and if you find it to be well p o t ro nozcd, you n eed n ot be told th at
it belonged to a live commu ni ty-the fa c t is self-evident.
It ie therefore with plea..ure that we prese n t you with one of the Covi n gton,
Virginia, City Directories, for the fact i" se lf-evident thu t we arc doing buainen
in o live comm u nity.

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

Society, 9"nc.
P. 0. Box 12485
Roanoke, Virginia 24026

Dear Fellow Members,
With this letter I begin my term as president of the Society. Last year was a trying one for your
Board of Directors. They all pulled together and were able to get the last two issues of the VAN
out in record time. Speaking for the members, I wish to thank them for a "job well done". Until
an editor for the VAN is found, the Board will continue act in that capacity. lf you have any
material that could be published in the VAN, such as cemetery notes, transcriptions of records,
family history etc., it would be most welcome.
For those of you who live in the Roanoke area remember that the annual field trip is scheduled
for April this year. Since we will be going to James Madison University in Harrisonbu rg, bit
farther then usual, I wonder if arranging van transportation would be in order. A local company
can take 10-1 2 people for between $20-25 per person. Would this be of interest? The field trip
will be April 21. Please contact me if you are interested.

In a previous letter I mentioned that H eritage Quest.com was planning to put the entire US
census, 1790 through 1920, online as digjtal images. According to their online newsletter the
project has been "shelved" for the time being. Their parent company, Sierra, is "rethinking" its
online presence. Insiders speculate that the project was much more expensive then first thought,
although Heritage Quest already has the digjtal images. Oh well, we can only hope that
someday .. .
Have you ever looked at the online auction site, eBay.com? Recently I purchased an item from a
seller who deals in new and used genealogy books. While my item was related to my British
research, I noticed t hat she had a number of Virginia genealogy books for sale . Her sellers name
is: book.momma77 Log on to eBay and click on "search". Click on "by seller'' and enter her
name. AJI her current auction items will be shown. If you see something of interest don't be
afraid to bid. eBay will walk you through the process. Try searching for other items related to
your research. Who knows, you find a real treasure.

Dear Editor,
Enclosed please find 10 pages from a journal written by Dr. James Washington Harman
of Mechanicsburg in Bland County, Virginia. Dr. Harman was a younger brother of Col.
William Neal Barman of Civil War note. Be was noted for his kindness and caring nature
for all things both great and small.
His great granddaughter, Patricia Hamilton Mitchell gave her full permission for this
journal to be published.
Since very little has been published in the VAN concerning Bland County, these pages
should be of interest to your readers, especially if they h ave roots in Bland County.
The notes in {-} and in italics are my own notes.
Please inform me when our dues are due. I am 80 years old and my nlemory is not what it
used to be.
Sincerely Yours,

Parke C. Bogle

A PRAYER OF GENEALOGISTS

Lord, help me dig into the past
And sift the sands of time
That I might find the roots that made
This family tree of mine.

Lord, help m e find an anc ient book
Or dusty manuscript,
That's safely hidden now away
In som e forgotten crypt.

Lord, help me trace the ancient roads
On which my fathers trod,
And led them through so man lands
To find our present sod.

Lord, let it bridge the gap that haunts
My soul when I can't find,
The mi ssing link between som e name
That ends the same as mine.

LEDGER OF DR. JA1v1ES W. HARMAN-1880-1883
{ Bland County, Virginia}

I

(

{Dr. Harman kept his records ill this little book which was published i111853 by Lindsay &amp;
Blakiston, Medical Publishers and Booksellers. Tlze book was named "The Physician 's
Visiting List Diary and Book of Engagements. " Dr. Harman started making notes in the little
book in 1880. It is evident that Dr. Harman was a very compassionate man. More often that
not, his accounts were n ever paid in full. The lack of money did not deter him from doing all
he could for his patients. What a difference we find with today's medical doctors. I had heard
all of my life that Dr. Harman was the poor man's friend The pages ofthis little booklet
prove that statement to be true. What would these people have done without such a man?.
The first page has been damaged by 1noisture and is illegible. Several other pages are faded
and very hard to decipher. By consulting the Bland County 1880 Census I was able to figure
out some of the names and where the p ersons lived. My thanks to Patricia Hamilton Mitchell,
the great g randdaughter of Dr. Harman, for allowing me to view and abstract this little book.
With her permission I present it to you for publication. Parke Bogle}

SMOCK MARRIAGES
In the 18th century , widows sometimes r e married clad only in a s~ock ,
or sometimes wearing nothing at all . Thi s c u stom was based on the notion
that, according to common law, a man who married a wol"'.l.an with few or n o
clothes would not be responsible for her debts or those of h e r first husband . Without an estate, the popular thinking went, the widow-bride could
not pass on any liability to her new husband. The noted juris t Francis
Wharton (1820- 89) called this concept " a vulgar error."
Thes e "smock marriages", which originated in England , we re not unconnnon
in the New England colonies during the early 1700 ' s. The custom varied
according to the region . In some places , the marria ge took p l ace a f ter the
groom and his scantily clad bride , often naked, stood in a closet and put
out one arm during the wedding ceremony. Somet imes the bridegroom lent
wedding clothes to his bride-to- be, keeping her modest while he protected his
money!

PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX RECORDS
This tax is perhaps the most underused source for genealogical research. It's value is not
well understood or appreciated even by Virginia citizens and we hope to change that. The
following paragraphs are from a free informational pamphlet, compiled by Minor T. Weisiger.
You are encouraged to request a complete copy of the four page Genealogical Research at the
Library of Virginia, available from the Library of Virginia, 800 E. Broad Street, Richmond,
Virginia 232 19.

"Use of Personal Property Tax R ecords," Research Notes Number 3

.,.

The most frequent use of personal property tax records is for the direct information recorded:
name of the property owner; type and quantity of property owned; and amount of tax .paid.
Comparative analysis of personal property tax records from year to year may lead to conclusions
about social, economic, and agricultural history, as well as the status of certain individuals or
groups of property owners within a locality.
For g enealogical researchers, personal property tax records may provide important data. Individuals with the same names in a locality may be distinguished by a junior or senior, residence in
different tax d istricts, or geographical location. Parentage may be expressly or implicitly .stated by
either the name or number of male tithables between the ages of 16 and 2 1 in the household of the
taxpayer. The names of women appear occasionally when owning property in their own right.or
as the widow of a property owner.
Personal property tax reco rds are a substitute for records of those counties where destruction .of
the o riginal deeds, wills, and other records has occurred. By studying the lists from year to year,
the researcher may t race an ancestor to determine the .date -0f departure from, a locality, -0r
possibly the year of death. T he name of a taxpayer will continue on the tax list, noted as
"deceased" o r "estate," until the estate is settled.
The abolition of slavery meant that male African Americans, age 21 and above, were taxed by
name for the first tine in 1866. After 1890, African Americans wer.e listed in a separate part of
each tax book. By 1965, this practice had been discontinued.

Availability ofR ecords f or R esearch
Personal property tax records in the Archives are available for use without prior arrangements.
Most of the su rviving records for the period 1782 through 1850 are available on micro~ and
some county tax lists have been filmed through 1870. Microfilm copies of these tax r.ecords
circulate through the interlibrary loan system of local libraries. A list, available upon request,
shows microfilm reel numbers and dates covered for each locality."
Research Notes Number 5, Questions and A nswers Concerning the Archives Collections at the Librmy of Virginia,
compiled by Jennifer Davis McDaid may also be requested.

TIP

CHECK NURSING HOlvIBS
When you are on a research trip, don't forget to check with local nursing homes. On a recent trip,

I visited a nursing home in the town where my great-grandfather lived for a time. I asked at the
desk if any residents would be interested in speaking to me about the local area and the family I
was researching. I did not expect the phenomenal reception I received from several residents
with many stories and plenty of time to tell them to an interested person. I was given not only
informatio~ but also several new leads on my great-grandfather's history, and I had a wonderful
afternoon full of laughs and memories shared with others.

"PEITY'S PARADIGM ON PREYARICATED PEDIGREES"
If a person has an idea, it's a Possibil ity.

If the idea is written down, it becomes a Probabil ity.
If the idea is published, it becomes a Fact.
And if the published idea is quoted, it becomes Gospel Truth.
The above is from the article "Seventeenth Century Virginia County Court Headright Certificates" by
James W. Petty, Salt Lake City, Utah, published in The Virginia Genealogist, January-March , Vol. 45,
No. I, 2001. The article is excellent -- made me think about the information that I had about headright
certificates. The big problem is that it is continued to the next issue.

TIP
GETTING FAMJLY TO TALK
When I decided to get more involved in doing family research, I knew l needed to interview
family members. But my family members thought genealogy was a huge waste of time, and that
I would find out things I'd rather not know. So my problem was getting them to even talk to
me about our ancestors.
I got a yellow legal tablet and listed every family name I could trunk of in two columns, one for
my dad's side and one for my mom's side (even if all I knew was Aunt Ida). Then I went to my
mom I showed her the list and, with great glee, she pointed out the people I had in the wrong
columns and gave me a lot of other information that she had previously been unwilling to give.
I took the same list to my dad, then to aunts. You would not be lieve the information I harvested
in those few days.
So, if you are willing to put yourself into a position of being wrong, your elders may jump at the
chance to correct you, even if they think genealogy is a "waste of time ."

by Gustav Adolph Strauss from J 857 to 1894. Over one half of the entries were written in " old

became proficient in English, he made his entries in English. At that time he also summarized
and re-entered many of his earlier German language entries. These later entries do not reflect the
personality and attitude of Gustav that is ap parent in the earlier translated entries. The compiler
has added a few clarification comments. These additions are in italicized type and enclosed by

In America (April 1857)

As stated before, I have a brother in America. Friedrich Strauss, born 9 February 1827 at
Noerdlingen. He lives in Detroit where he is proprietor o f a tavern there. I Tis wife Catherine
was born in the year 1830, maiden name Bader, daughter of N icolaus Bader, soapmaker in
Noerdlingen. He has a son Charles Strauss, born in St.Clair Michigan in the yea r 1853 . He had
another son Nicolaus, born August 1855 and died March 1856 at St.Clair.
My brother errugrated to America in the spring of 1850 .
Carl Hueber, born May 1826 a brother of my wife ma1-ried my sister Friedrike i_n the year
1853, she was born 1830. As of this date they have a daughter Elissc w ho was born 6
September 1854. Carl emigrated to America in the year 1852 and F1iedrike in the year 1853 .
They now own a farm of 120 acres in Town Caseo (Michigan) St.Clair County.

My dear wife Rosina and I knew each other for several years in our much loved hometown
ofNoerdlingen and we decided (if to our happiness ?! I don't know) to emigrate to America.
Upon which we said on the 6 July 1854 our goodbys to our loved ones and embarked the
steamer Herman on the 14 of July 1854 Bremerhaven to Southhampton, w here after a three
day layover the same departed for New York. We arrived at New York on the 2°t1 of August
of the same year. And after a few days rest, we continued our journey to St .Clair in the state
ofMichigan, where my bother Fritz and his fami ly as well as my brother-in-law lived in the
Town Caseo.
On the 12 August 1854 (Sunday) Judge Mjles of St. Clair married us and on 1 September in
the same year I joined my brothers business as a partner. We had a grocery and a liquor
business and the first half year business was very brisk.
On the 7 March 1855 our first child Friedrich Christian was born .
In March 1856 I undertook a journey to the west in the states of Illinois and Wisconsin and
learned in Rockford, Illinois by Ferdinand Wunsch and Phillip Muenzinger in about three
weeks the confectionery trade, American style. End of April 1856 I returned to St. Clair and
severed my partnership in my brothers business. The business was not very profitable in the
last year since St.Clair lost population and there was no way for the business to support two
families. We separated for business reason o nly.
On the 9 May I 856we moved to Port Huron, 12 miles above St.Clair, where we found a
house for rent. Rent was $200.00 for the year. l started a confectionery and grocery business.
Everytrung went fine during the summer and in the fall 1 had to hire a Mr. Joseph Simon, who
transported staples and liquor to Lexington. He also bought goods and who in the time span
of about 4 to 5 months relieved me of a great sum of money, through bad outstanding loans,
lying, ch.eating and of a general bad chru:acter, that I must wonde~ if I will ever recover.
Since the first of May 1857 I am rentmg another house for which I pay $300.00 a year
My brother Fritz too left St.Clair in August of 1856 and moved to Detroit, where he
manages a tavern. Until now ~oddess fortune has not smil ed upon him, it seems we are not to
prosper in business or occupation ..

�Mondav the 9 Februarv I 85 7 o ur second child Christian Ri c hard was born . We appointed his
grandparents Christian Huebcr a nd gra ndmother Hueber as his Godparents. He is well un til
now and we hope that he continues to gro' me ntall y as well as physically. Out oldest son
Fritz, thank God is well and he brings us much joy.
Pon I !uron August 1857
Our little Christian and Fritz are fine and healthy, thank God .
Since the 1st of May I have a confectionery in baker Harves place. Business is slow and
everything is to expensive and I pay to much for rent . Just hope that 1 and my fanu\)l stay we\\
and that we can try again next year at another place.
My brother-in-law sold in Jul y his farm for $2400 .00 cash and joined butcher John Kel\ers
company in St .Clair.
My sister Rieke has been ill for quite some time. God w illing her health will soon be
returned to her. From our dear parents, we received letter a few weeks ago, stating that they
were all well .
My dear Rosina received from her dear parents $ 10 .00 as a present for having a new baby.
Beside that my father-in-law let me know that from time to time he deposits money in the n~o
boys name in the bank at Noerdlingcn . \Vhich show·s us, that he is interested and cares about
his grandchildren' s future. God bless him .
September 1857
Beginning of September we received a letter from Noerdlingen with the sad news, that our
Stang grandmother died 24 May and the uncle of m y dear wife Mr. Carl Hueber 9 July 1857 .
Peace to their ashes, they will live in our memories.
Port Huron, begin of October 185 7
Sad times everywhere, business for the last two months has been slow, that l can hardly
take it. And if this was not enough the banks which one thought safest are folding. No
business, little money and what little there is, not safe from day to day. No future . LjttJe
credit.
God willing the winter will pass and I can sell more. So we can leave Port Huron, which we
now hate.
I have already endured more than any one man can, but I never found my thoughts as sa?
and melancholic as I do now. Circu1nstances are the same for me here as they were for me in
Gennany.
Port Huron, l81 January 1858
Circumstances are much worse. There is no money among the p eople, just much need in
the land. We suffer hard as there is no business at all.
We already started the new year and may the end of the same b e better than the beginning
March 1858
From Noerdlingen we received letter with the news that my uncle John Stang, m~rchant in
Heilsbronn by the Neckar died 24 August 1867 and such news brought ~e mu~h pam.
Times are not better, we had until now very hard days in our lives, which will be engraved
in our memones.

Still the same old complaints. Nothing moves. Neither business or trade. Seldom here and
there a sawmill starts up. It appears as if everything is in a deep sleep and frozen state.
Groceries are cheap, but no wages, no money. What will happen?
~
I changed my plans. Gave up my rent in Harve' s place and rented another house from John
Miller for two years at $17 5. 00 per year.
About the middle of April I took a trip to Bay City and East Saginaw and on my way back I
visited Flint and arrived home by way of Detroit. In Flint I wanted to buy someone out
(through the help of my brother-in-law Carl at St.Clair), but abandon said plan for which 1 am
not sorry, since I would have burdened myself to heavily in debt (for about $500.00 for a year)
and with my present circumstances it probably would have been too much for me to handle,
especially if I would not have found what I anticipated.
I have not the foresight of my memories which I write down to be made public only after my
demise perhaps to fall into the hands of my descendants, so they can read for themselves from
whom and where they are descendent. What trials and fate their parents lived. What pajn,
suffering and sorrow they endured for such a long time. It is as our lives should be a constant
and continued source of pain and suffering.
To have come with wealth from Germany to this country and to have seen it in less than
four years disappear into the winds. We arrived with a strong heart, with sadness and bad
feeling to have lost it all we look with fear into the bleak future. What will the future bring us.
More suffering and sorrow? Or will she bring us heavenly ointment for our wounds. We hope
In the meantime may the dark future bring what it has in store for us, I will not surrender.

--------------------

The most painful feeling for me is, that in spite of my losses I am still beholden to others and I
am unable to discharge said obligations. Ob how easy and gladly would I carry my burden to be
poor, but to be looked and put in a bad light is more than I can bear. But I must endure it all,
the world may judge, but in the end they will see that they were wrong about me. I am forced to
do something. On the 1Th of May 1858 I opened my books to my creditors and offered to pay
later in installments. I am now awaiting their answer. Whichever they decide, fate will find me
prepared and strong.

Today the 17111 of May 1858 Monday morning, between 11 o'clock and 12 o'clock there was
a terrible accident. My dear wife fell backwards through the open cellar door. Oh what an

accident. I hunied home, to help, to rescue. And I did not feet thankful to God as I saw her,
she was wounded and scared to death. That she would be all right and the worst did not
happen. lever will l forget the lamentations of our two boy, Fritz and Christian, standing at the
edge of the cellar door, wanting to help their mother. Oh God, how much more, how many
more test.
It is now February 1859 and I will continue my memories as I promised myself.
The summer of 1858 was slow, boring and bad. Business was very slow and unsatisfactory.
Autumn was not much better. But I am a little more satisfied with the beginning of winter than
the month before.
The present winter is a mild o ne, with very little snow which does not stay long. Which in
turn makes for little business in the forest . Which will affect next summer and will make for
little lu mber business, which in turn will make for slow business in store. The outlook for
summer is not good.
The last year discovered gold mines in Kansas are according to all reports very profitable and
so come spring there will be a great exodus to the goldmine regions (Pikes Peak).
From my dear mother-in-law in Gennany sorry to say we have not heard any news for quite
some time and we worry a great deal .
In March 1859 we left Port Huron, since we were never happy there and no hope we ever
wou ld be.
Looking back o n our three years in Port Huron, we gained much in knowledge, bitter
knowledge, but lost much of our bodily welfare. The rest of our wealth was taken from us for
knowing one bad person (Joseph Simon). Through the generosity of my father-in-law Christian
Hueber in Noerdlingen, who sent us $400.00 is was made possible for me to try and rebuild our
lives.
Brought my family to St. Clair in March. Oh, I had in mind to go to Missouri or Kansas or
somewhere . But I came only as far as Chicago, where I returned to Michigan and opened a
store in Grand Haven on Lake Michigan, where we now live.
Until now everything is bearable, but since our arrival here we are besieged with illness.
Especially our Christian, he took ill from the beginning, we thought we would lose him . My
wife too was ill with the fever, but after three days well again. I took ill with the fever from May
until end of October. This is a harsh and unhealthy climate with a sandy and wild terrain and we
don ' t like it much. So next year we again will pick up our cane and wander in search for a new
homeland .
Today is the 22 of October, letters arrived from Germany and all our loved ones there are
wel l. Pikes Peak turned out to be a big swindle, even so there is some gold it is not profitable to
mine it. In later years Colorado was a success.
September 1860 I sold everything in Grand Haven and traveled, mainly to souther and central
IJlinois, to settle somewhere. But could not reach my goal and arrived in the central region. But
rich on bitter knowledge I went back to Grand Haven. From there I went with my family to
Grand Rapids where we lived several months without a store. Till I finally managed to rent a
store with living-quarters for $ 150.00 for the year on Monroe Street. I proceeded to stock the
store as my stock from previous store through my travels was completely .de~leted.
I have seen on my trip through Chicago many fish-skeletons in Lake Miclugan. As well as
the steamer "Lady E lgin" on which I booked passage on my trip back to Grand Haven. [He saw
a lot of dead fish near Chicago and.from the steamer.}

�Grand Rapids Mich. May 1861
Our American circumstances went from bad to worse. The entire year of 1860 was a heated
one as it always is before a Presidential election. Especially this year as several of the Sou thern
States were unruly. A party was being formed by the Northern States in the last four yea rs
named the republican party, which didn't look to favorable at the Southern States, their
skirmishes and their stand on slavery. The fighting between the north and south was an ongoi ng
thing in newspapers for may years, the Congress and the Senate in Washington. But now
circumstances took on a different face and we are now at war, the south against the north. 1t
means the southern slave states such as South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, AJabama, T exas,
Florida and Mississippi unhappy with the election of the republican President Abraham Lincoln
from Springfield, Illinois declared their independence from the United States and built
themselves a southern Confederacy with seizing of forts arsenals and property belonging to the
United States. The border states such as Virginia, Missouri, Kentucky, North Carolina and
Maryland took a neutral stand but one could see they were sympathetic to the south. Which
they expressed through their impossible demands on the north.
The outgoing President Buchanan who left office 4 March 1861 and his Minister of War
Floyd were also sympathetic to the south and have seen to it ghat the incoming President
Lincoln who took over the office 4 March '61 started his reign powerless. The same could do
nothing in his first weeks in office except listen to advice and in secret make his plans, to take
steps to help Ft. Sumpter in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina whjch was occupied by 80
United States Troopers under the command of Major Armstrong and since they were low on
provisions the President wanted to send same by several ships. However the south attacked said
Fort and prevented the supplies from reaching the Fort. Berina )ow on provisio n the Company
of Troopers inside the Fort surrendered. This in.flamed the wa~ and the newly elected President
Lincoln asked the loyal states for help to squash the effort of the south to divide our Union;
which with division of freedom would be easy to accomplish. In the Spring of l 861 come
tog~th~r an ~rmy of over 600,000 men mostly volunteers to fight for our Union. In the
be~g things went bad for our sid_e. The south was prepared for a long tim~ and had
everything and the best weapons, which they obtained through treachery and thieve~ . Our
Secretary of War under Buchanan saw to it systematic that by the start of the rebelhon the south
had all the weapons and the north had nothing. Now is this no good ... . Floyd is his name a
General for the South and it is only in passing here that he is known for retreatin~.
As noted we bad only bad luck, the patriotism of the people, the energy and wisdom of our
leaders hindered the rebellion after their first victories and no progress was made. And they
were unable to bring the war as they first anticipated to the loyal states and melt them together.
The border states ofNorth Carolina, Tennessee and half of Kentucky, half or 2/3 of
Wisconsin, ~irgirua except the western part went for the south and declared their indepe.nde.nce
~o~ th~ Umon. Maryland :vanted with aU of her might to secede, but our troops oc~up1ed 1t
Just m tune and stopped therr devilish plans. The southerners under cormna_nd of the~r Generals
~e~e~~d, Johnson and their President Jefferson Davis found themselves m t~e spnng of 1861
m Y_rrguua at Richmond marching toward the river Potomac to take over Washington and our
Capitol and to besiege the free states. But our Union had there a ready army of about 250,000
against a southern army of about 200,000 men.

ln June Fritz moved from Port Huron wi th his family to St.Clair where it goes much better
for him.
I have since April started a small shop on Canal Street, as I have been \vi.thout one since
October 1861 . Yet 1 learned at home how to make cigars. I now have a Cigar and Tobacco
business at said place. Times are very hard for everything and everybody. N aturally 1t w on' \
get better unless this fight is settled and the Union restored. Or until same has d\s\)etsed)
because now in spite of our huge army (700,000 men strong last spring) nothing has been
accomplished and the south is still unconquered. In fact they have the advantage over us. And
the goverrunent saw fit t~ pass new Laws to gain 300,000 men of volunteers. A 300,000 men
Militia which could be raised throug h conscription. According to law every able bodied man can
be drafted; men between the age of 18 and 45 to serve in the war. And so we are not safe that
we won't be called upon and tom from our families, to fight to uphold the Union.
In August 1862 I gave up my little shop on Canal Street, it would make no sense to keep the
same much longer. Since I had no capital and I can not run the business at a profit. I made
from August until November 1862 cigars for Schubart and Mason and could provide very well
for my family and myself. From November 1862 until middle of December 1863 I managed the
store for Schubart. (Mason dissolved the partnership.) Middle of December I left Schubart and
I took a trip to St. Clair, where 1 visited our relatives and found them well. After a stay of four
days I returned home by way of Detroit and brought tobacco leaves for myself so I could make
cigars at home. Middle of February 1864 Fritz Mayer came to me and offered me a
partnership. He bought out Friedrich Wellendorf who followed P. A. Schubart . I accepted and
invested $300.00.
Beginning of the year 1_864 my dear wife' s aunt Weber from Noerdlingen died., from whom
she inherited $ 160. 00 Which sum our brother-in-law Christian sent i11 silver to New Y ork, where
it was exchanged at the current rate of June 1864, silver being worth 90% more. We received
$304.00 in paper money.
We invested in June another $250.00 in the business of a total of $550.00. Business has been
brisk and according to my calculations I hope to be back on my feet soon.
Through the course of the war, the tobacco and cigar business wings were cli~ped. The
tobacco prices went higher, wages also escalated for cigar makers and on top of 1t Congres~
imposed an ungodly high tax that this business can be looked upon as ruined. The future w1ll tel]
if my fears will come to pass. (My fears for the future of the cigar business were later µroven to
be groundless)--[this was entered at a later date).
In March of 1863 our dear brother-in-law Carl and sister Rike lost their second girl Cathy,
four years of age, which brought them and us much anguish and we are until this day in deep
sorrow.

VIRGINIA APPALACHfAN NOTES

�On the 14th ofMay 1863 on Pentecostal Sunday and on his names day we received a sudden
shock and wound. Our dear and good father-in-law and grandfather of Mr. Christian Hueber
was called by our Lord suddenly from this earth to the great beyond. Oh what lamentation,
what heartache to receive such news. We lost something irreplaceable and our hearts are
bereaved and heavy and we can't console ourselves. The thought that it was not in our power
to see him once more, to have been apart for so may miles is painful.
A stroke suddenly ended the life of our father and we shed many tears. He was the best
father with a big heart and a true friend. He will live in our memories. Yes, dear father you
meant well, thank you a thousand times for your love. We call to you in your cool resting place,
sleep softly till we see you agai~ you dear loved soul.
Separation is Our Loss
To Meet Again Our Hope
In August 1864 I dissolved partnership with Fred Meyers of Grand Rapids. Said partnership

promised not to prove very successful for me in future, therefore I thought best to separate. We
moved to Detroit where I accepted a situation in the business of I. Rosenfield and Bro ' s. Cigar
and Tobacco Factory. Before we left Grand Rapids my wife met ·v..rith an accident, hurting on a
bad sidewalk her foot to terrible that she had about 9 months to suffer before she got well again.
We moved in August from Detroit to St. Clair, where I opened business of Tobacco, Cigar
and Liquors, etc. Brother Fred and family moved in September 1865 to Detroit again.
In the year 186_ my brother in law had a son born who they have named Hennan.

-------------------On June 11, 1867 we bought house and lot on Trumbell Street of my brother in law Charles
Hueber for the amount of $700.00. We commenced a Grocery and Provision Business.
Carl Hueber &amp; family have (moved) to Alpena, where he opened butcher business.
The first of April 1869 our last child was bo~ a nice and fine boy, our Gustav Charles. We
were really happy at this new family increase.

-------------------In ... of 18_we bought the property ofMrsHagedone on Trumbull and
lots for $500.00 which we have made our home for us and family

6lh

St. containing of2

--------------------

On the 5th of March 1870 a fire broke out in our neighbors Carl Lamlein ~ s house which also
destroyed our store building, and three more besides it. We build up again from Brick a two
story building 20x40 with a good cellar under it, and in September 1870 we opened business
there again.
In summer, 1870 Emperor Napoleon III of France declared war on Germany, which lasted to
1871 with the defeat of the French nation. After this France declared for Republic.
Eliza daughter of my brother in law C. H . and my sister Frederike married in 1870 Mr.
Charles 'Golling born in Crenznach, Prussia. His profession is that of a Painter, but since years
he opened a Hotel business of which he was. very successful.

In the fall of 1871 my youngest Brother Herman Zapff arrived in this country. After a brief
stay with us he went to Alpena, where he stayed and worked for the family Hueber.

Dear Fellow Members,
With this issue of the VAN we complete the issues for 2000. With the help of severa l So c iety
members we were able to catch up and finish only a month or so behind schedule . W itho ut their
help this never would have happened. I hate to sound like a "broken record" but we need mo re
involvement by members. The board of directors can't do it alone . I f yo u could just g ive a little
time it would be a great help. We have two offices that are vacant at prese nt, First VicePresident/Program Chairperson and Recording Secretary. Can yo u fill one of these positions?
We also are looking for an editor for The VAN. Attendance at the mo nthly meetings is way
down. Think how a speaker must feel looking out on an audience of just a fe w people . Coming
to the meetings would be a big plus for us. Ok, Ok, I promise not to dwe ll o n this to pic. Please
give some thought to what I've said. The Society can't continue without me mber's help.
The field trip for this year will take place in April rather then M ay. We have been invited to visit
the library at James Madison University. Two of our members met one of the librarians at a
workshop and were surprised to learn how extensive their collection is. T he re is a gr eat deal of
material related to the Shenandoah Valley that I suspect is under used. A listing of their
genealogy related material can be found in the Virgi.illa Room at the Roanoke M a in Public
Library. Details about the field trip will be discussed at a future meeting .
Happy Hunting,

K~

lRlSH RESEARCH
15 November 2000

Dear Mrs. Fowler,
I have just received the latest ·•North Irish Roots" and noticed your question about John Perry's
education.

When I was over in Dublin earlier this year working in tbe r ecords I called in at Trinity to look up
some ancestral connections and saw ••Alumni Dublinienses" - a register of tbc students, graduates, professors
and provosts of Trinity C ollege Dublin edited h)' G D Burehaell and T U Sadleir, in an edition published in
1935 by Alexande r Thom and Co of 2 Crow Street, Dublin. H your J P erry was there, you should find bis
father's name a nd &lt;Juali~· .
In the ci~htccnth ccntur)', Trinity was Ireland's only universit~r. There were, of course, Oxford and
Cambridge but no others in England. T heir publisbed central records start rather later - though the
individual colleges may well have lists of earlier undergraduates. You would have to know which college,
though. Presbyterian ministers had t o be graduates and usuaU~' went to one of the Scottish universities: St.
Andrews. Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen wer e, I think. the only ones in ScotJand in the eighteenth
century.
It is quite like ly that you will find it hard to consult a copy of the Burcbaell and Sadlcir book io the
However I found the TCD Regist°D' staff ve ry helpful and, if you write to them nicely - particularly if
you send an internatiooaJ postaJ coupon (wbicb sbould be obtainable from any post office)-, I am sure they
will look for you. Or you could give them your e-mail address if you have one. Mind you, if you have access
t o the Library of Con g r ess in Washington , you may find the book there.

us.

Mind you, handwriting before this century did tend to be vet')' regular and standardized - among
clerks even more t han among g raduates - and ,your J Perry ma)" well not have been a university man. For
example, if he was a lawyer and practised in lreland, he will have to ha,·e attended one of the Ions of Court
in London and should also fi gure in a work called ''King's Inns Admission Papers 1607 - 1867" edited by E.
Keene, Phair and Sadl ei r and published by the Irish Manuscripts Commission in 1982.
I hope this will be some hel1l.

CEMETERY LINKS
Several years ago, while I was hiking in the mountains of Wythe County, Virginia, I crune
across two gravestones that had fallen over and were covered with leaves and branches. I
recorded the names and dates (even made chalk images from the stones).

Valentine HART
Bon1 Sep 3 , 1760
Died Sep 21 , 1859

Mary HART, wife ofVaJentine HART
Born Oct 7, 1775
Died Apr 29, 1862

As far as I could tell, there were no other graves in the area. It appears as if the graves
were adjacent to an o ld building because there was some indication of a foundation. This
was probably their home on the edge of the mountains. If anyone is interested, I will send
additional information, as w e ll as the actual stone images.

"JUMPSTART YOUR RESEARCH_" by Juliana Smith
l have a confession. I was in a genealogical rut . It happens to all of us at one time or another.
When we pull out our files, we just stare blindly at them, wondering where to begin. Sure, we are
stilJ collecting clues (we're not dead. just in a rut!). We monitor the lists, saving any messages that
may hold a clue as to the whereabouts of our elusive ancestors. We bookmark articles to
reference later. When a database is posted for our area of interest, we do some searches and print
out the results to be fil ed later (a truly dangerous habit). But where are those great, late-night,
head-banging, brickwallshattering, research sessions that get our creative genealogical juices flowing? How do we revive
the passion that makes us stay up half the night surrounded by research binders, our noses pressed
to a computer screen, buried in the mists of time? Here are some tilings that have helped me dig
my way out of some ruts.

NARROW YOUR Sl GHTS
You'll have much better luck if yo u pull out just one or two related lines, rather than pulling out
your entire project, which can easily be overwhelming. By focusing your search, it will be much
more clear where to begin.
GET OUT, OR PLAN TO GET OUT
Get out to a library, courthouse, archive, or cemetery and do some on-site research. Whenever
possible, th.is is a sure-fire way to rekindle the fire. Sometimes, though, it is just not immediately
possible to get out. As the mother of an almost five~year-old ~aughter who w?rks full-time fro~
home this is a problem 1 often face! In these cases, Just planrung a research tnp can be a huge lift.
The t~sks of reviewing your files, forming a detailed game plan, and checking availability of
resources can all be done from home, and in the process, you may find things you have previously
overlooked.
If it is just not possible for you to get away to the repository that contains the records you need,
these same steps will prepare you to retain a professionaL volunteer, or organization to follow up
for you.

CHRONICLE AN ANCESTOR'S LIFE
As family historians, our purpose is to research and preserve the history of our families. One way
to preserve the stories of_th?se be~or~ us ~s to cre~te a biographical profile of the individuals in
our family tree. By chromclmg their lives m narrattve fonn, using the records and information we
have found (rem embering to footnote where we got our facts), we can bring them to life, and as

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�/37
we write, we may gain new insight into their lives that can further o ur research. This can be done
on the computer directly into our files, or maybe on paper in a more relaxed setting--on a porch
or sprawled out on some pillows on the floor with your research spread about. These are the life
stories that first enticed many of us to pursue our ancestors, and they can easily revive o ur
interest. [Look for more on writing your ancestors' biographies in Michael John Neill's article,
"Your Ancestor's Biography."]

TACKLE A NEW RESOURCE
If you feel you've exhausted all of the records you are familiar with, explore some new ones. The
Internet has made it incredibly easy to explore new resources from the comfort of your home and
to learn whether the information they contain will help your search; you can also learn where
these sources are and how to obtain them. A good starting place is the Ancestry.com Library,
where you will find more than 2,700 articles from the "Ancestry Daily News,'' "Ancestry"
Magazine, "Genealogical Computing," and Ancestry.corn's regular columnists--Elizabeth Kelley
Kerstens, Drew Smith, l(jp Sperry, George Morgan, Dick Eastman, and me. The articles can be
browsed or searched by keyword for free at: http://www.ancestry.com/library/archive.asp Or visit
the site of the agency that created the records or of repositories that may hold them. The main
archival repositories for many countries, and the states or provinces within, have posted
helpful record guides to the collections they maintain, as do many libraries and organizations. The
Internet is bringing millions of resources to our fingertips . We just need to do a little searching.
READABOOK

Reading about the places where and times when your ancestors li ved is a great way to regain your
passion for the past. Curl up with a local history, or skim over historical chronology of the times
in which your ancestors lived, keeping your notebook open with names and dates easy to see and
a notepad handy, so that when you find something interesting, you can easily see what effect it
may have had on your ancestors and make a note of it. By deJyjng into the factors influencing our
ancestors' lives, we open ourselves to insight into the decisions they made and envelop ourselves
once again in the lives and times that inspire us to search further.
REORGANIZE, REFORMAT, AND REVIEW

Sometimes the very act of filing, re-filing, or reorganizing what we have been collecting can be a
very enlightening experience. What may seem a very mundane or boring task that is much
overdue can bring to light treasures that have been buried or that take on new significance in the
light of newer discoveries. Whether you are the most organized researcher on the planet or
someone who is desperately looking for solutions for an ever-increasing filing problem (guilty
here), a little reorganization project with some cheap folders and/or file boxes can send you on a
journey down the memory Jane of your research and bring to the surface resources that have been
waiting to be rediscovered in your own personal archives.

GET A NEW TO Y
Maybe it's time to treat yourself You have been working hard to preserve your family's history,
and you deserve a n ew toy . If the budget doesn't currently allow it, it's not too soon to start
making your Christmas wish list ! A nev.r genealogical software program or reference book, a
subscription to your favo rite Web site, or a shiny new CD might be just the ticket to spur another
burst of genealogical ene rgy. Santa would probably love to get a few hints from you. (My list was
started sometime in January 2000!)

MAKE CONT ACT
Contact other fami ly members, and share what you have found. If you present your family saga in
an interesting way--written or oral--you may encourage others to do a little digging of their own
to make a contribution. Interview or re-interview older family members, prodding their memories
with any new informat ion. And last but not least, if you notice your family's eyes glazing over as
you present your t heo1ies about Great-Great-Grandma Betty's origins, give them a break and try
talking to your pets or yourself (you mjght want to close the blinds before you try this exercise).
My pets are a wonderful support system and sounding board. My cats nod sagely as I present my
theories or explore new possibilities, and my golden retriever will always wag her tail as I share
my newest family tree discove1ies with her, even if it is in the wee hours of the
morning. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Research Tip

ADJUSTING LIGHT AND DARK
A stranger sitting next to me at an archive photocopier gave me this
tip. If you are attempting to make a photocopy and the microfilm is
very light, you are probably inclined to move the copier setting to
"darker, " thinking this will improve the quality of your copy. The
likely result is that the copy is not any better. The trick is to
move the copier setting farther down to "lighter," which actually
lightens the background of the microfilm and makes the print appear
darker. I tried it. It worked marvelously. I recommend it to others.

UPCOMING ISSUES OF THE VAN
Smruner 2000 - Wise County will be highlighted. Plus we will have the annual Surname Index
which is growing every year.

Fall 2000 - Wise County will be the featured county.
Editor's Note: This will be the last issue of the VAN that I will edit. I have thoroughly enjoyed
working on this publication; however, new job responsibilities and family obligations leave me
with very little time to do the kind of publication the members of this organization deserve, as
evidenced by the lateness of the last several issues. I apologize for these delays, and hope you
will support the people who wi ll be editors in the future. - AMS

Fam il y of J am es and Esth er Robin son of Early Montgomery County, Virginia
Other surnames: Ar mst rong. Brown. Cr ockett, Draper, Edmundson. Gorrell , Graham, King, Montgomery, Terry, Trigg, Willis,
Woods

l

Many people have trouble tracing a Robertson/Robinson line because the surname is
common , and many of the given names are the same. I have studied the family of James and
Esther Robinson. who resided in present-day Montgomery Co, VA as early as 1745, when the area
lay in Augusta Co. Depositions made in lawsuits concerning their land, spanning almost fifty
years, have enabled us to learn ~omething ~bout their fa.m ily . . To my knowledge, the information
has not been gathered togeth er in an organized form which might benefit those who are trying to
sort out a Robinson/Robertson line . I must say at the outset that I have not examined the court
documents personally. with the exception of a copy of an entry in Land Patent Book 24 and the
will of Robert King, both mentioned below. I have relied upon the abstracts found in Chronicles
of the Scotch -Irish Settlement in Virginia, extracted from the original court records of Augusta County,
1745-1800 by Lyman Chalkley, published in 1912 by Commonwealth Printing Co., and reprinted
in 1965 by Genealogical Publishing Co. , Baltimore, MD, hereinafter referred to ''Chalkley." Part
of the family story is also told in Kegley's Virginia Frontier by F. B. Kegley, published by The
Southwest Virginia Historical Society, Roanoke, VA, 1938, and reprinted in 1993 by Heritage
Books, Inc., Bowie, MD, here inafter referred t'? as "Kegley. " The book Annals of Southwest Virginia
I 769-1800 by Lewis Preston Summers, copyright 1929, reprinted in 1992 by The Overmountain
Press Johnson City, TN was also used as a source and is referred to hereinafter as "Summers."
' Briefly, the story of this family is that in 1743 or 1744 James Rob inson of Lancaster Co,
PA sent his eldest son, John, to the .Roanoke, VA ar~a to buy 800 acres of land from George
Robinson. John Robinson also obtained ~00 acres. 1~ Augusta Co on the South Fork of Goose
Creek by patent from King George 11, paying 40 shillings for the land, 25 Jul 1746 (VA Land
Patent Book 24, 1745 -1746, pp. 320-321). The land '¥'.'as to be taken in the name of John
Robinson who was then to convey a share to each of his brothers. Some members of the family
were in A~gusta Co by 1746. On page 94 of Kegley's work, one finds that Jacob Brown was on
the road crew on the North Fork of Roanoke. On the South Branch were "old Mr. Robinson and
sons "William and James Bean, and Ephraim Vause. This came from the Augusta County Court
of N~vember, 1746. Notice that the land is listed in the Pat ent Book as Goose Creek, but in the
County Court Minutes as Ro~noke. The Roanoke River was .also known as Goos.e Creek for some
years, causing much confusion for some of us who were trying to trace the Robinsons. The map
of the Roanoke area between pages 176 and 177 of the Kegley book shows both names on the
stream. (There are streams named Goose Creek in other nearby counties.) The land was later
k n own as James Robinson's Big Spri ng tract above Elliston. This places the land very near the
present Montgomery Col Roanoke Co line.
on 1 4 May 1753 John Robinson , Sr., conveyed 200 acres on South Fork Goose Creek to
William Rob inson. The land was part of two tracts patented to John 25 Jul 1746. Corner, Joseph
Robinson . Witnesses to the deed were Charles Brookin and John, Thomas, Joseph, and Esther
Robinson.
.
on 7 Aug 1753 John Robinson and Mary conveyed to James Robinson , son and heir of
James Robinson, deceased, 150 acres on the South Fork Goose Creek. Witnesses were James
Gorrell, William McCrab, Jacob Brown, and Elizabeth Robinson.
These two deeds show that there was an elder John Robinson (son of James, deceased)
and a you nger John Robinson, who in 1753 was ol.d enough to witness a deed. Further, between
14 May 1 753 and 7 Aug 1 753 John Robinson, Sr .. had married Mary. Lastly, James
Robinson.Sr., had died in that ~ime interval .. ~he death of James Robinson , Sr., is confirmed by
the appointment of Esther Robinson as administratrix of her deceased husband, James Robinson ,
17 Aug 1 753, Augusta Co.
we might pause here to establish approximate birthdates for these people. James
Robinson, a grandson of James Rob inson, Sr., was 67 years old when he made a deposition in a

�4-o
2
lawsuit in 1805. Therefore, he was born ca. 1738. Since Eli zabeth Robinson Montgomery. a
party to the lawsuit, was the only child of John Robinson, Sr ., Jame s was a child of one of the
younger sons of James and Esther Robinson. If we assum e that his father was 21 years old 1n
1738, James and Esther Robinson had one or more children befor e 171 7 . Using the sa m e
reasoning regarding their ages, James and Esther Rob inso n must have been bor n befo r e 1 7 00.
.
Listed below are the eight known children of James an d Esthe r Robinson with all of th e
information discovered about them to date. The names of th e sons were found 1n depos i tions 1n

(Chalkley, Vol. 2, pp. 109-110). Much more about this couple c an b e le arn e d fro m tt1 e book
Trans-Allegheny Pioneers by John P. Hale, 2nd Edition, published 1931 by Th e Ka nawh a Vall ey
Publishing Co., Charleston, WV.

I.
John Robinson, the eldest son, was born before 1717. He was call ed "Long
John," according to the testimony of William Davis, given in Montgomery vs Madison (Chalkley,
Vol. 2, pp. 109-110). He married Mary Robinson, sister of Col. William Robinson and Col. David
Robinson, in 1753. Col. William Robinson made the statement about his relationship to Mary
Robinson and David Robinson in a deposition in the same court case . The date was 1806, and
Col. Robinson was living in Fayette Co, KY. John and Mary Robinson's only child, Elizabeth, was
born in 1754. She was only two years old when her father died, and she inherited all the land he
held in his name. This was the basis for the lawsuits. John never had deeded to some of his
brothers their shares of the land he bought at his father's instruction and which his father had
divided among them.
Mary Robinson may not have been John's first wife . Hugh Crockett deposed that
the Crocketts and the Robinsons were neighbors in Lancaster Co, PA. He came to the Roanoke
country in 1749, and the Robinsons were already there. He further stated that his sister married
J?hn Robinson. Chalkley has a question mark after that statement, but it is possible that John
did marry a Crockett and that there were no surviving children of the marriage.
John Robinson was killed in 1756 when Vause's Fort was attacked by French and
Indians and burned after some people were killed and others were taken prisoner (Kegley, p.
193). Mary Robinson, John's widow, married James Montgomery in 1760. Her daughter married
Alexander Montgomery in 1774. (Chalkley, Vol. 2, pp. 109-110).
Deeds recorded in southwest VA showed the r eside nces of Alexander and Elizabeth
Montgomery as new counties were formed and as the couple migrated westward to Fayette Co,
KY, where they lived in 1806. These deeds are found in the Summ ers book: (p. 553) Alexander
Montgomery and Elizabeth his wife to Walter and Joseph Crockett, land on South Fork of
Roanoak, 7 Mar 1775, Botetourt Co. (p. 558) Alexander Montgomery and Elizabeth his wife to
David Robinson, land on both sides of North Fork of Roanoke, 14 Oct 1 777, Botetourt Co. (p.
1304) Alexander Montgomery and Elizabeth to Abraham McConnell 25 Sep 1794, Washington
Co, VA.
The will of David Robinson, uncle of Elizabeth Montgomery, was recorded in
Fayette Co, KY in 1804. The will of her husband, Alexander Montgomery , was recorded the re in
1814.
II.
William Robinson received his share of the land purchased by John Rob i nson in a
deed dated 14 May 1753 and recorded in Augusta Co Deed Book 5, p. 429. His name was listed
among those wounded at Vause's Fort in 1756 (Kegley, p. 232).
He married Margaret Gorrell ~e~ore 1765. On 20 Aug of t hat year sh~ '":'as
appointed administratrix of his estate with W1ll1am Bowyer, James Robertson, and W1ll1am

�3
Christian as bon dsm~n . (Chalkl~y, Vol. 3, p. 91). On 18 Nov 1766 the Augusta County Court
acknowledged that W1ll1am Robinson had built a causeway at Vause's Fort and had died. The
court ordered that the money owed him be paid to Margaret, his widow. The cause of death was
not recorded .
By 29 Jun 1 769 Margaret Robinson had married Samuel Woods. At that time
Samuel Woods a nd Margaret, his wife, late Margaret Robinson, administratrix of William
Robin son, deceased, filed suit against Anthony Bledsoe and Stephen Trigg (Cha lkley.Vol 1, p.
363) .
No children of William and Margaret Robinson have been identified.
Ill.
James Robin son received his share of the land purchased by John Robinson in an
Augusta Co deed dated 7 Aug 1753. He probably was the James Robertson signing the bond of
Margaret Robinson , administratrix of William Robinson, deceased, in 1765. The
Robertson/Robinson surname is often spelled differently in the same document.
An entry in the Augusta Parish Vestry Book on 12 Mar 1765 says that William and
James Rob inson proce ssioned for David Robinson and Robert McGee. The death of William
Robinson prevented further progress (Chalkley, Vol 2 , pp. 450·451). In Aug, 1769 Samuel Woods
and wife Margaret, late Margaret Robinson, administratrix of William Robinson, deceased,
collected a note from James Robinson (Chalkley, Vol. 1, p. 356).
Because several men named James Robinson were in the area, it has not been
possible to tra ce this man's family. Sever~l_deeds involving men named James Robinson were
recorded in Botetourt Co ca. 1774. In add1t1on, on 11 Nov 1779 the Botetourt County Court
certified James Robinson, Sr. to the Register of the Land Office as a Sgt. in Capt. Peter Hogg's
Co. of Rangers in 1758 (Summers, p. 297).
IV.
Samuel Robinson' s story is told in the files of the Augusta County lawsuit Crockett
vs Robertson , dated 28 May 1 768. It begins by saying that James Robinson and family moved
from PA to the South Br anch of Roanoke, where John Robinson, the eldest son, had bought land
at the direction of h is father. Th e father divided the land among his children, and John was to
convey title to them. Samuel's land adjoined that of William and James Robinson. The family
was broken up by Indians and th e French , and Samuel moved to the south side of the Blue Ridge
and be came ve ry poor. In an agreement dated 24 Oct 1767 Samuel Robinson of Cumberland Co,
PA sold his land in Augusta Co to Samuel Crockett. Unfortunately, John Robinson had not
deeded the property to his brother Samuel before his death. Elizabeth Robinson, the minor child
of John , was the legal owner of the property. Crockett asked for a deed to the property (Chalkley,
Vol. 1, p . 362). Cumberland Co, PA was formed from Lan caster Co in 1750.

v.
Thomas Robinson witnessed t he 14 May 1753 deed in which his brother John
conveyed land to Wi ll iam Robinson (Augusta Co Deed Book 5, p. 429). Thomas Robinson was
listed among the people who were wounded in the attack on Vause's Fort in 1756 (Kegley, p.
232). In the Augu sta Chancery Court case John Madison vs Robinson a writ dated 26 Mar 1767
tells once again the story of the purchase and divison of the Rob inson land. Thomas Robinson
did not have title to h is land, but he sold his right to it to Samuel Crockett, who then sold it to
John M adison (Chalkley,Vol. 1, pp. 366-367). In the case of Montgomery vs Madison we learned
that t h e fate of t h e Th omas Rob inson land, which in 18 05 lay in Montgomery Co, VA, still had not
been decided. A deposition in the case said th at Thomas Robinson lost his life at the Big
Defeated Camps on the other side of Cumberland Mounta in. All of his family were eith er killed or
taken prisoner (Chal k ley, Vol. 2 , pp. 109-110).
VI.
Joseph Robinson witnessed the 12 May 1753 deed in which his brother John
conveyed lan d to William Robinson, and William's land adjoined that of Joseph. The name
Joseph Robinson appears in Augusta Co, VA records during the period 1748-1771 , but no
records have been found to allow us to determine if all of th e record s refer to the same man.

In an Augusta Co deed dated 13 May 1767 Joseph Robinso n sold t o Edward Springe r 1 90
acres of land patented to him 20 Sep 1748 on the waters of Rone O ak. adjoi n ing land forme r ly
George Robinson's on Buffalo Creek (Chalkley, Vol. 3 , P 451 ). In _l 763 George Robinson· s wi II
was proved by William Preston, William Graham, and Joseph Robinso n , a nd J oseph Rob i nson a nd
Will iam Graham were bondsmen for the executors. The names o f George Rob inson ' s ch il d r e n ,
found in the will, were James, Samuel, George, William , Sarah. Catheri ne . P r 1sc1l la.and Ma r t h a.
A Joseph Robinson had married Elizabeth, a daughter of William Graha m. b y 1 7 65 , wh e n
Graham sold him land on Buffalo Creek (Chalkley, Vol. 3 , pp. 418-419). He sold him a dd1t1o na l
land in 1767 (Kegley, pp. 516-517). Joseph Robinson resided in Botetourt Co, wh e r e G r a ham 's
will was probated in 1786. The will names "Elizabeth , wife of Joseph Robinson " (Early M a rriages
andWillsofBotetourtCounty, Virginia by Anne Lowry Worrell, 1975). In 1792 Priscilla Robin son,
daughter of Joseph Robinson , married Alexander Armstrong . Bondsman was Jose ph Rob in s on ,
Jr. Witnesses were Francis Graham, George McDonald, and E.dward Robinson (Bo t e tou rt County
Marriages, 1770-1853, by Jolln Vogt and T. William Keithley.Jr., 1987).
\n Montgomery Co, VA in Aug, 1780 a Joseph Robinson pledged his estate for hi s
son-in-law Robert King, who had been accused of treason (Dr aper Mss., Preston Papers 5QQ, p .
77). King later moved to Washington Co, VA, where his will was written in 1819. However, the
will was probated in 1828 in Montgomery Co, VA, where he still owned land. The will named
children Robert, Joseph, Margaret, Elizabeth, James, and Agnes. Joseph Draper was
administrator. The following King marriages occurred in_the Botetoui:: Co area during the period
1799-1807: Peggy King to Henry Edmundson, Joseph King to Catherine Lewis, and Eli ssa King t o
John T. Trigg (Kegley, pp. 594-601).
In Botetourt Co 11 Sept 1783 a Joseph Robin_s o~ w~s exempted from paying parish and
county levies in the future on account of his age and inf1rm1ty (Summers , pp . 381 -382).

VII.
Ann Robinson married Jacob Brown before 17 Feb 1 768, when both of them
made depositions in the Augusta Co case Crockett vs Robertson. Ann stated that she was a
dau?hter of James Robinson and verified the familiar story of the purchase of land by John
Robinson at his father's direction. Jacob Brown, her husband, also verified the facts (Cha lkl ey,
Vol. 1, p. 362).
.
On 12 Apr 1774 the Botetourt County Court ordered that John Robinson , Samuel
Willson , and David Robinson view the way for a road from Jacob Brown's old place down the
North Fork to Isaac Taylor's (Summers, p. 218).
Nothing is known about descendants of Jacob and Ann Robinson Brown. An
Esther Brown married John Terry in Botetourt Co in 1781, and an Ester Brown married John
Willis 3 Jan 1793 in Montgomery Co, VA, but it is not known if they are members of this family.
VIII .
Elizabeth ''Bettie" Robinson was born in 1732. She married John Draper in April,
1754, and she died in 1774. The story of the Drapers is told very well in the book
Trans-Allegheny Pioneers by John Hale, mentioned earli er in this article.
John and Bettie Robinson Draper lived at Draper' s Meadows, near his sister Mary
and her husband, William Ingles. On 8 Jul 1755 Shawnee Indians attacked the settlement,
killing several people, including the child of Bettie Draper. Bettie and her sister-in-law, Mary
Ingles, were taken prisoner. Over the years John Draper made several trips to try to find and
ransom her without success. Finally, in 1761 he attended a meeting about a treaty between the
wh_ites and Indians and met the old chief in whose family Bettie was living. He negotiated and
paid a heavy ransom to win her release. They returned to Draper's Meadows, where they
remained until 1765, when they exchanged their land for land near the present dividing line
between Pulaski and Wythe Counties, VA. John Draper called this settlement Draper's Valley.
The Drapers had seven children after her return from captivity. The four sons were
George, James, John, and Silas. The names of the three daughters were not remembered.
Bettie Draper died in 1774, and John Draper marri ed a widow. Jane Crockett. They had two
daughters. John Draper died 18 Apr 1824 at the age of 94.

The names of only two grandchildren of James and Esther Robinson are known. Elizabeth
Robinson Montgomery's story is well documented because of the lawsuits over the land she
inherited from h er father , John Robinson.
James Robinson, a grandson of the original James, wa s born ca. 1738. In the Augusta Co
lawsuit Montgomery vs Madison he stated that prior to 1757 he lived in Augusta Co about 107
miles from the land in con trove rsy. (The land was in Montgomery Co in 1805.) He moved to the
Roanoke country in 1762 or 1763 (Chalkley, Vol. 2 , pp. 109-110). His father has not been
identified. and we do not know if he was living in his father 's household in 1757. He would have
been 19 years old then and may have struck out on his own. He could be the James Robinson
who served in Capt. Peter Hogg's Co. of Rangers in 1758.
The name Esther/Easter/ Hester is uncommon. It appears in the Crockett family and in
this Robinson family , who were neighbor s in Lancaster Co, PA ca. 1740. Those who find an
Esther Robi nson, Esther Draper . or Esther Brown among their ancestors might suspect a
connection t o t h e family of James and Esther Robinson.
The author of this article is a descendant of an Easter/Hester Robertson , born ca. 1765.
She married Charles Blair ca. 1790, possibly in Sullivan Co, TN. The couple resided in Russell
and Lee Co, VA before settling in what is now Letcher Co, KY. Th ey were members of the Oven
Fork Baptist Church there . The siblings of Easter Robertson Blair have been proved, but those of
us trying to t r ace her parents have had little success. The family of James and Esther Robinson
was studied to see if a connection to our Robertsons could be found.

Dear Ms. Sylvest:
1 read with in t erest your comments in the current issue of VAN regarding the number of
quer ies submitted f or publication now vs five years ago. I believe that the suggestion
about the effect of the Internet is a big factor. However, I am the type of family historian
you described as having a lot of kno~ledge and resources. but not on the www. This is a
conscious choice on my part. A cousin placed some queries for the two of us on several
sites and al l we got were questions from people who were sending misinformation
everywhere, and I received from someone a big print-out which included some of my own
research . It had been placed in a GEDCOM file without permission, and unwarranted
conclusions had been drawn from the information.
1 suggest that you place your par agraph regarding queries on the websites of the counties
cover ed by VAN and include the rul es for publication of queries which appear on the
inside ba ck cover of VAN. I no longer respond to anyone who will not write me an actual
"snail mail" letter. A person who takes ti me to compose a letter is more likely to be a
serious fami ly historian instead of an information trader.

Sincerely,
/

his county was formed in the year I 880 from the counties of Wise,
hanan and Russell and named in honor of vVilliam J Dickenson,
li! was a member of the House o f Delegates from Russell county at
. ~r'tirn e . The county is bounded on the north by Kentucky, on the east
.;Buchanan county, on the south by Russell county and on the west
'Wise county. The p roductions of t his county are corn, rye, oats ,
·a t, grass and some tobacco. A vc::ry large:: portion of this county is
-:'ihber, and some of th e fines t to be found in the State is in this county..
ere is abundance of coa l and iron besides a number of mineral
Jngs. This county is very mountainous and there is no railroad in
Jtf.ounty, though _several l_ines hav~ been surveyed. The Ci1:cinna~i,
·arieston and Ch icago railroad will probably be the first line bu.It
:i5"ugh the county, it having been -surveyc::d down l\kCl ure creek aud
~iigh what is known as the Breaks of Cumb erland mountains (which
~£-~ery grand natural scenery).
Th e line will run in the county about
· tfy miles . None of the timber and minerals have been removed from
(s'i'county, excepting a small number of walnut trees . Pound, Crane's
--~F a-nd Russell'~ Fork rivers and McC lure creek are the principal
~earns, all coursing through the Breaks of Cumberland mountains ..
fl~e timber of this county consists principally of poplar, oak, ash , cul!ur!iber, pine, h e mlock and walnut. This cou nty has an area of 606
s tiare miles, 387,938 acres, and the la nd has a n average assessed 'value
pf:'$0.40 per acre. Th is is a fine county for grass and grazing purposes,
:,Vd is one of th e best counties in the State for investors as prices are
ow and the resources as yet undeveloped.
·_:-when the countv was first formed the countv seat was located on Mc'.~~lure creek at Evington, but in the fall of iS S I there was a hot fight
"Ver th e county seat in electing the member to the House of Delegates
,~bm this district, composed o f the counties of D ickenson, \,Yise and
tichanan, which resulted in the election of Captain ]. P. Chase against
, ·S. Colley, who was in favor of the county seat remaining where it
~~~, by a · large majority, and in I 882 the county seat was removed to
olly Creek Valley by an act of the Legislature. The county seat was
~~ed Cl intwood, in honor of the State Senator Clint vVood. Clinthas a population of 22 5.

VAN Editor
SVGS, Inc.
PO Box 124 85
Roanoke, VA 24026-2485
Dear Editor:
I really enjoyed the November issue and especially liked your idea to include
"specially designed" forms. I have included three fonns that I designed myself to aid
me in my courthouse research. When I'm fortunate enough to get to a courthouse, I
don't know how long it will be before I can return and try to collect as much
information on my line while there. I was wearing myself out collecting birth,
marriage and death information by having to write out the different categories. All
registers are not laid out the same but generally have the same data. These forms
have saved me tons of time and spared my hand many nights of painful cramps. To
me they are pretty much self-explanatory, but if you should need details contact me
via e-mail at lsakers@citlink.net.
The fourth form was one that I amended from other form that I obtain from a
book. Originally it was a ''Cemetery Log". In my research after finding relatives
markers with the date of death, I like to go to the local library and look up the
obituary. First of all I list the newspaper name, town, state and the name of the
particular library or other source of microfilm. Then I list the individuals with their
corresponding dates of death; the next time I go to that town for research I have the
data at my fingertips. I included the "Found" column because I had found myself
researching the same data more than once. This way if I am unable to find an obit, I
mark "No" and won't be tempted to duplicate the search. If I'm lucky enough to find
the obituary, I like to include the microfilm reel number as a reference.
Hope this will be helpful to you,

Efficient use of search engines is one of the most important skills needed for
successful online research of any kind, and family history is no exception.
Search engines are the navigational tools that can help you locate the
information you seek in the expanses of cyberspace. Leamjng your way around
these essential tools can be a daunting task , but as is often the case,

experience can be the best teacher.
USING . EARC f I ENGINES
A ll search e ngines were not created equal. and the one you choose to use for a

specifi c search shou ld depend on the capabilities you require. A basic search
may require only a keyvvord. and in these cases any search engine will probably
d o the job. The simplest to use are those that onJy offer three choices:
] ) Searc h for any of the words (a search for "Minnesota naturalization records"
wlll turn up a ny site it finds with "Minnesota" or "naturalization" or
"records").
2) Search for a ll o f the words (a search for "Minnesota naturalization records"
will turn up any site it finds with all three terms in any order).
3) Search for the exact phrase (a search fo r "Minnesota naturalization records"
will turn up any site it finds with the phrase "Minnesota naturalization
records").
The re are other things to keep in mind though as you enter your criteria. For
example, I did a search fo r "Minnesota naturalizations" and "Minnesota
n aturalization records" using a popular metasearch engine (a search engine that
searches severa l other search engines and lists the top results). Of the top ten
results for each. o nJy two URLs can1e up in both searches. By trying variations
of the same terms. you can often find other resources that may have be otherwise
overlooked.
Check a lso for abbreviations. Another search in this same search engine, this
time using the abbreviation for M.innesota ( "l'v1N naturalization records") turned
up some of the same URLs as before, but also one for the Fourth Judicial Court
of Minnesota, Records Center that revea1ed what records were available there for
Hennepin County and that duplicates could also be found at the Minnesota
Historical Society.
Some searc hes may require a more precise search using Boolean operators. For
articles on Boolean searches, see:

An alternative to Boolean s~arches is also accepted on m~~. search engines that
uses plus signs(+), r:imus s1~~ (-),and quotation marks ( ). An
easy-to-follow tutonal on this is at:
http://searchenginewatch.com/facts/math. html

WHAT CAN WE FIND?
One of the most common uses of search engines by family historians is the search
for a surname. In this instance, you may be able to weed out non-genealogical
sites by adding a keyword. For example, if you were searching for Dooner. you
might try searches for: "Dooner genealogy," "Dooner ancestry." "Dooner
descendants," "Dooner family," or "Dooner GEDCOM."

If you are still getting too many hits, adding a location can help (e.g..
.
_
"Dooner NY," "Dooner Kings County NY," or "Dooner Brooklyn NY"). Add mg a hrst
name can also narrow down the search for a particular ancestor, but be wary of
names that have variations (e.g.! Harold, Harry, Hal).
Don~t restrict your searches only to surnames, though. A wealth of background

information can be found for various time periods, ancestral towns or
neighborhoods, regimental histories and military engagements, institutions,
churches, migration routes and patterns, geographlcal boundaries, and more.

This type of search has brought much to my own family history. l have located
ancestral towns in Europe on maps and even found photographs from my ancestral
towns in Slovakia that someone took on a trip and posted to a Web site. I have
found a social history of Rochester, where another ancestor lived, that revealed
a lot about the times in which he lived. I've seen photographs of the church
that some of my ancestors are supposed to have helped build. And the Internet
has helped me to trace some of the movements of my grand-uncle in World War l.
Another very important use of search engines is in the location of original
records. If you are unfamiliar with resources for a particular region, there are
a number of sites that may list the records that are available for that area,
and these can be a good starting point in your search. They can lead to the Web
sites of societies, archives, libraries, and government agencies that may have
catalogs and/or detailed descriptions ofboldings. Even ifl find reference to a
repository online, I always try to find the Web site of the actual repository
because it will often have the most current information when it comes to rates,
restrictions, information on accessibility, and hours of operation.

�Preliminary Research Into the Origins
of the Reed Families of Floyd County, Virginia
by
Charles P. Thomas 1I
1522 Jones Blvd .
Murfreesboro, TN 3 7129-2049
March 2000
As the title indicates, this paper is not intended as a definjtive statement on the origins of
the Reed families of Floyd County, Virginia; but it is presented in the hope that it may

stimulate further research and discussion. I would invite correspondence from anyone
researching this subject. Please write me at the above address .

In order to identify the Reed families in whom I am most interested, it may be helpful to
take a quick survey of the Reeds enumerated in the 1810 Federal Census in Montgomery
County, Virginia. Unlike some early census schedules which list families in a somewhat
alphabetical order, the 1810 Montgomery County enumeration apparently lists them in the
order they were visited by the census taker. On pages 4 and S appear James Ree d and
James Reed, Sr. Pages 14 and 15 include Jonathan, Cornelius, and Stephen Reed . Listed
on page 28 are no fewer than eight Reed households: Humphrey; George, son of
Humphrey; William; George, son of Andrew; Andrew, Sr .~ Humphrey, Jr.; George ~ and
Peter.1 (There was another George in Montgomery County about this time, but he died a
few years prior to the date of this census.2)
Although all of these Reeds are of interest, I am particularly interested in learning the
origins of the group which includes the names Andrew, George, Humphrey, Peter, and
Willjam.3 They seem to have lived primarily in the Beaver Creek and Indian Creek areas
of Montgomery County. These areas became Floyd County when the new county was
formed in 1831 .4
Where did these Reeds reside before their enumeration in Montgomery County in 181 O?
The abstracted 1787 personal property tax list "A" of Botetourt County, Virginia, includes
the following: Casper; Andrew; George; George, Jr. ; and Humphrey Read .5 Except for
Casper these given names are present in the 181 o Montgomery County enumeration cited
above. 6 It seems, however, that these families did not actually move but that the boundary
dividing Montgomery County from Botetourt County was changed. The following are
included in an abstract of a 1790 Montgomery County tax list for an area which was
previously included in Botetourt County: Casper, Robert, Andrew, two Georges,
Humphrey, and William Reed.1
Netti Schreiner-Yantis•s research has placed the residences of Andrew, the two Georges,
Humphrey, and William Reed in the area of 1'Laurel Cr. of Little River, Beaver Creek,

__

.....

�Indian &amp; Greasy Creek, W . Fk. Little River" ~ Robert Reed in the area of "Indian Ridge,
Greasy &amp; Burk Forks. W Fk. &amp; S. Fk. Little River"; and Casper Reed in the area of
"Little Ri ver. S Fk . Roanoke, Laurel Creek, head of Elliott Creek, Old Field Creek, Pine
Run, B eaverdam Creek" in 1790 8 Peter Read and Robert Read are listed in Montgomery
County in 1787 ,'&gt; and Peter Read is listed there again in 1789. 10 Yantis's research
indicates Peter R ead's residence in 1789 to have been in the area of "Indian Creek and
West Fork Little Ri ver "I I
There seems to have been a Reed presence in the area of Botetourt County which was to
become Montgomery County and later Floyd County at least as early as 1782. That is the
year Botetourt County land surveys are listed in the names of Peter Reed (100 acres on
B eaver Creek) and Samuel Reed (150 acres on West Fork of Little River).12 The year
1782 is also the year during which Peter Reid is listed on the muster roll of Capt. Samuel
Eson's Company in Botetourt County. 13 A Botetourt County land survey in the name of
George Reed (96 acres on Beaver Creek) is dated 1789.14
Is there any evidence of where these Reeds resided prior to their coming to the
Botetourt/Montgomery/Floyd County, Virgi nia, area? The 1782 Personal Property Tax
List fo r Bedford County, Virginia, includes, among others, George and Andrew Read.IS
The 1783 Personal Property T ax List for the same county includes, among others,
Andrew; G eorge, Sr.; G eorge, Jr.; and Humphrey Reed. George Reed, Jr., is identified as
not being over the age of twenty-one years. 16
The possibility that these Bedford County Reeds are the ones we later find in Botetourt
County is supported by information contained in the Revolutionary War Pension
Application File of Andrew Reed (File Number R8650). Although his application was
rejected, the information provided is of much value to the genealogical researcher.
Andrew Reed of Floyd County, Virginia, made two declarations in an attempt to gain
pension benefits. His first declaration, dated 15 October 1832, states that he was then 83
years old and that he had enlisted "in the County of Bedford now Franklin. . . .'' His
second declaration, dated 26 March 1835, contains many more details. It states that he
was then "aged 84 years and eleven months . . . " and "that he was born on the 20th of
April in t he year 1750 not far from Philadelphia in the State of Pennsylvania." It further
states "that he was living in the upper end of Bedford now Franklin County, Virginia,
when he entered the service and when he removed from there, it was to the place where he
now resides." It was early June 1776 when he began his term of service. This infonnation
places Andrew Reed in Bedford County at least as early as 1776, and seems to confirm
that he moved from there to an area of Botetourt County which later became Floyd
County. 17
In summary, the information presented indicates that there was a Reed presence in the area
which later became Floyd County as early as the 1780s. Land surveys on Beaver Creek in
what was then Botetourt County were made to Peter Reed and Samuel Reed in 1782.

descendants of No. 7 &amp; 8 now maintain it.
My brother and I suspect there were older graves, as in our youth we recall there
being a number of fieldstones besides the carved stones. The fieldstooes were
eventually tossed out of the cemetery. Some of the very old carved stones have been
replaced over the past several years by new stones.

BOOK REVIEW

1860 BUCHANAN COUNTY, VIRGINIA FEDERAL CENSUS. transcribed by Debbie
S. Dehart. Iberian Publishing Company, Athens, GA, 1999.
Ms. Dehart has done a great job of transcribing this particular census of Buchanan
County, Virginia. She has included all the columns of information. plus she has added
data on births, deaths, marriages, and parents of many of the families enumerated. The
transcription is in the order of the census itself so it is easy to see who the n e ig hbo rs are .
The index is an every name index.
This book will be a valuable asset for anyone researching Buchanan County when it was
newly formed. It is available from the publisher by phone at: 1- 800-394-8634; by 1nail
at: 548 Cedar Creek Drive, Athens, GA 30605; and on the internet at:
http://www.iberian.com. The cost is $24.95 plus shipping and handling and 7o/o GA
Sales Tax.

�QUERIES
NOTE: \\.hen I lirst started editing the VAN nearly 5 years ago, there were consistently
about 5 times the number of queries as what v,1e have had lately. Many people have
s ugges ted that thi s is due in part to the \Vorld Wide Web. People feel that they can reach
many n1ore people and. the refore. get many more responses from the Web. When you
cons ider '"'here to put your queries. consider that fact that there are still many
genealogists who arc not on the Web and many of those have a great deal of experience.
Don't miss o ut o n their knowledge! Put your queries on the Web, but send us a copy to

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
We are fast approaching the end of the year 1999 and nearly the end or the century and
mi llennium (with actually a full year more to go until the rea l new century and millen nium). l
can honestly say I have been very proud of the work SVGS has accomplished this past year. Our
program speakers have been exceptional, and several ha ve been imponant on a national as well
as local level. Although attendance at our membership meetings has been u p-and-down in
accordance with interest level, I feel we have enhanced the knowledge and appreciation for local
history and genealogy to those who have attended . We have done a fine job in publicizing our
meetings/speakers w ith distributed fl yers and newspaper notices (although our local newspaper
clips, included in various calendar-type sections, are only printed on an as-space-a llows basis).
It is with regret that we let VAN readers know our long-time Virginia Room Chief Librarian,
CAROL TUCKWILLER, is retiring. She will be leaving at the end of January 2000 (please
see "Tribute" article later in thjs issue.)

Looking ahead, these members of the SVGS Board of Directors wi ll continue through the Year
2000: PRESIDENT ..... ....... .......... WENDY JAMES
lsT VICE PRESIDENT . .... . .... KAREN KAPPESSER
2ND VICE PRESIDENT ... ..... . DARRELL BOLES
TREASURER .......... ........... DON VAUGHAN
RECORDING SECRETARY ... DOROTHY CREASY.
These current members of the Board wi ll be leaving the Board as of December 1999, and
candidates are now being sought by Nomi nating Committee member Ann Sylvest for:
ASST. TREASURER/MEMBERSHIP CHAJR ... . ... STEVEN JENKINS
CORRESPONDING SECRETARY ... ······ ······· .. . .. CHUCK WILKERSON

In addition the Committee position of PUBLICITY and some more volunteers for our
PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE are actively being sought. At a recent Board meeting, the idea
of forming an EDUCATION COMMITTEE was suggested and will be explored . If your interest
might lie in any of these directions, pl~ase contact n:i e at ad~ress/pho ne number below and I will
pass your name on to Ann Sylvest. Will YOU consider takmg an active part in your Society?
By the way, Ann has reminded me that_ the Y_AN needs more articles submitted from the
membership to print in the VAN . . She is startm? ~ ~ew. "geographic-area" theme with the
February 2000 issue where a county m ~outh~est Virginia will be highlighted as to area covered,
county formation history, records availa?le m the courthouse, whether any historical and/or
genealogical societies are current an~ active, personal research experiences in that county, etc.
This promises to be valuable e?ucation for all our readers and especial ly those of us who are
"stuck" in researching the counties close to Roanok e

SOUTHWESTERN VIRGINIA GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
ROANOKE, VIRGINIA
VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES, NOVEMBER 1999
TRIBUTE TO CHIEF LIBRARIAN OF THE VIRGINIA ROOM, CAROL TUCKWILLER

As announced in my President's Message earlier in this issue of the VAN, we report to our
members and readers that our long-serving Chief Librarian of the Roanoke Public Library's
Virg inia Room is retiring as of the
of February 2000. Carol first came to RPL in 1969, and it
was not long afterward that she realized how important it would be to gather the historical and
genealogical books and materials into a single collection and location. So it was that early in the
1980' s, Carol was single-handedly responsible for re-organizing the collection and locating it in
the Library's south addition to the building on Jefferson Street in Downtown Roanoke.

r;t

For those readers who do not know, the Virginia Room is the major Southwest Virginia regional
historical and genealogical research collection south of Charlottesville and west of Lynchburg.
As members of the Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society, we depend on this collection for
most if not all of our family history and genealogical information. While it specializes in
Virginia and especially Southwest Virginia sources, it contains major references from our
bordering states as well. After 6+ years of researching t his collection, I am constantly amazed at
the scope of materials contained in the Virginia Room. It is not enough to merely search the
computer for specific needs, but you must browse the room itself for wonderful but perhaps
overlooked materials. One member recently told me they had been researching in the Virginia
Room for many years but only recently took a look at some of the oversized reference materials
and found something they had been searching for and wondering about for years.
And that has been the incredible value of Carol Tuckwiller ... she knows EVERYTHING that is
there ... it is only up to us researchers to ASK HER for what we are looking for, and she will
either find it there immediately or lead you to another location where to look. I remember very
clearlv when l first arrived in Roanoke from Oregon in April 1993 on a job-hunting trip. I could
not p~ss up visiting the Virginia Room at RPL to see what they had, and on my arrival there,
Carol recognized I was a visitor (but soon a resident) and immediately took me under her wing
and asked me my specific research goal(s) for that particular visit. She then took perhaps half a
minute and gathered up half a dozen references and brought them to me at my table. WHAT A
GAL ! I have observed many times since then that she treats EVERYONE like this-like she is
their " personal guide" to what is requested. I know of no other librarian in any library I have
visited who makes the researcher feel like a VERY IMPORTANT PERSON right from the start.
This SVGS President, Board and Committee members, as well as all our other SVGS members
and researching colleagues wi ll sorely miss Carol and her expertise. Her successor and the
Virginia Room staff members Brenda and Ann (plus numerous others who have and will
continue to help there) will carry on without her, of course, but Carol will go down in history as
the ONE GAL fN SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA WHO MADE AN INCREDIBLE DIFFERENCE
TO THOSE OF US RESEARCHING IN THIS AREA Praise to her for a job very well done,
and we wish her all the best in her further endeavors.

World War I D raft Applications
Prior to the US's entry into WW I (approx. 1917- 1918) e\·ery mak between the age of
18 and 40 was required to register for the draft . The information round on the card was
provided by the individual himself T he regist ration cards qtry in inrn rn1:Hiu11 depending
on the individual draft board . But by and large the cards include
The fuH name of the person (thi s means first, full middle name, any additional middle
names a nd last name) ; the current address of the man: his age. his bi rt hdatc (some inc lude
hjs place of birth); whether he is a US citizen o r a natura lized citi.len (some ask ir his
father was a naturalized citizen and his father's race): his race: his occupation. \\ ht'rt&gt; he is
employed (name of employer); address or locati on of employment . name am! address or
his next of kin; some cards ask if the man is married or s ing le and ho\\' many peop le he
supports. The card is signed by the draftee . On the back
the card hi s ph) s1cal
description is noted: Height is broken down by short. medium. tall although some cards
give the actual height in feet and inches; Build by ~lim , medium , s tout although some
cards list actual weight along with the build, color of eyes and hair, any dcf'ormitie~ or
1njuries are listed (such as one arm mi ssing, blind in one eye. etc). the name and address of
the draft board and the date

or

When these original cards were t ransferred to the East Pointe NA R/\ b ranch the LOS
spent about 3 years microfilming these cards. T here are hundreds and hundreds or boxes
and the LDS opened one box at a time and filmed them - in st ate order I lowe\·er, \.Vithin
each state the cards were fi led by draft board, not by county or by draftee . This makes the
searching of the microfilm diffi c ult to say the least.
The good news is that the Friends of the Nat ional /\rchives took c;1c h bo:-; after it was
filmed (and checked) and sorted all of t hese thousands and 1housand s of cards in to - state
and then COUNTY order and then in alphabetical order by surname and put then in new
boxes. The Friends deserve all the kudos we can g ive thc1~ ror thi:-. mon st rou s ta sk

Dear Friend;
Here at Cumberland Gap National Historical Park we have the unique opportunity to meet and share with
numerous genealogy enthusiasts from all over the world. In their excitement they often relate to us stories
that have been handed down through the generations of their ancestors who traveled the Wilderness Road
and came through the Cumberland Gap. We soak up every word of their history and often use some of
their stories in our interpretation of the lifestyle of the late l 700's, early l 800's. In all of the excitement
that surrounds each recounted history there is a cold dark void that is always lurking in the background .
What about the thousands, indeed the hundreds of thousands, of untold stories, of the still unknown
pioneers, the mothers, fathers, and babes?? Unfortunately there was no one keeping record of those fi rst
settlers that came through the Cumberland Gap.
Today at this very spot of hall owed ground there is an exciting plan taking shape. A plan to restore the
Gap to the way it was 200 years ago and to reestablish the Wilderness Road. Upon the opening of this
restoration, you will be able to actually retrace the footsteps, and experience the exact emotions, of your
.very forefathe rs as they saw and traveled through this gateway to their future.
As we are awaiting congressional funding, we do not know the exact date that this project will be
complete, but we are already preparing for that wonderful day. Though 200 years late we are compiling,
name by name, that very list that we have often hoped for. On the day of the opening there could be no
greater joy for a genealogist than being part of the remaking of this history, a recreation of the great
migration w ith recnactors who quite possibly may share the same name, the same mannerisms. even the
s~c appearance of those who originally came here. The only difference might be the lone candle carried
by each participant with its fl ame burning in memory of that special pioneer that is truly a part of your
history. We would love to have you as a part of this celebration and be able to add the name of yow
ancestor to ''The List of Names." This will also be a wonderful networking tool in the search for the
"untold stories."
Please complete and return attached form to Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. For address see
bottom of "List of Ancestors" form.
Respectfully yours,

Salem, the countx seat, is a beautiful
and prosperous village on the north
bank of the Roanoke river and on the
tine of the Norfolk and Western R R.
178 miles southwest from Richmond.
The place is steadily growing in impor·
tance as a business centre, and with its
fine natural advantage$ and the railroad
connections soon to ·be consummated
at this point by the extension o( the
Valley railroad, is destined to become a
populous and highly prosperous city.
Owing to its delightful location, Salem
bas become very popular as a summer
resort, and its society during the liUm·
mer months is greatly augmented bv
visitors from the.more southern localities.
Roanoke College, one of the young· .
er, though one of t he most flourishing
· institutions of leamin~ in the State, is
located at Salem. It IS a Lutheran in·
stiturion, and its systeP.J is the regular
r

mal course of teachers of public schools,
a select one for a mere business ednca·
tion. and a -preparatory departmeut for
training boys for the college classes.
Roanoke, formerly Big Lick, oo the
Norfolk &amp; Western railroad at th~
southern terminus of the Shenandoah
Valley road. is the principal town of
.......
Roanoke county. Its growth from a vii·
!age of a few hundre&lt;i three years ago
to a city to-day of 6,()0() inhabitants is
unparalled in the history of Virginia
· towns. There are extensive work shops .
here, where the connecting Norfolk &amp;
'~-­
~
Western and Shenandoah Valley roads
~have their ~reat engines and handsome
coaches built. ~be street:S• stores and
dwellings are lighted with gas, ~nd
there are large water-works, whic~

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
DID YOU NOTICE that our VANs are now in a differ ent f o rmat- -a one-piece
front-and-back cover stapled in the fold which gives a much neater
appearance and is easier to read and photocopy fr o m.
We are al so getting
a better deal on our printing and collating costs per issue with a new
printing firm--saving about one-third of our previous cost even though
postage expenses have risen.
You see, your Board of Directors
is
working hard to make improvements where we see the need.
We have already
agreed to start our Saturday Board Meetings at 12 NOON instead of 12:30,
starting in September 1999, because we just have too much business to
consider and discuss before the schedul ed 1 : 30 me mb ership meeting and
program, which wil l remain at the same day and time (3rd Saturday of
September through November and January through April) .
This will also
give us Board Members a little leeway in arriving at our Membership
Meeting room to prepare setup for that day' s program.
From the meetings we have had since the first of t he year, these are
just some of the projects in progress or soon be started:
a WEB PAGE of our own in which to both info rm a wider region of our
membership and activities, and offer for sale future publications;
a compiled index of ALL 20+ years of our VANs
a publication of some of the Charles Burton mate r i al given to us.
We will be continuing these features that our readers have found helpful:
a yearly VAN index and membership list;
surname submissions list (on an irregular basi s );
If you have any project ideas or suggestions for our meetings or
programs, drop me a line ·and I will forward i t to the appropriate
individual:

This cemetery was recorded in August, 199J by Mary Ann Sink Barnes .
At the time of' the removal of' burials from t he f o:rmer City Farm located on
colonial Avenue, SW in the City of Roanoke, the compiler ' s father , Daniel
.Ruf'us Ralph Sink was a City of Roanoke, Virg inia Firef i g h ter . He was
assigned to duty during some of the disinteJJUe.nus· believed in a n observation
capacity. I recall, he was greatly ·sad.ctened. by thi.:s e.x.parietJ.be-..
A large sign was posted at the time of recording that g ave the f ollowing
information:
Roanoke City cemetery
l~2JO Coyner Springs Road
For further information contact
City Nursing Home 977-1018
The former City Farm is now the Virginia Wes tern co1J e6e . Their old
~rial ground was moved in preparation for the building o f this college .
The burials at the cemetery located at the intersection of Williamson Road
and Orange Avenue at Interstate 581 were moved f or the new road . It
should be noted there are burials and s ome tombstones that were not in
the Interstate 581 grave removals to City c eme t e r y at Coyner Springs .
They are visible from the road . It i s beli eved ho we v er, that cemetery is
fenced and overgrown making it inaccessible. Also , that it is Posted for
No Treaspassing. The 581 burial site is located d irectly north of the
Civic Center in the City of Roanoke , Virg inia .
This recorder noted any evidence of memorials pl aced on a g rave a t that
time. It was felt that their present indicated ~o meon e c ared about and
loved the person buried there . It is po ssible , these co u ld be the last
and only memorials presented for these deceas ed persons . In the future
their presence and once existenc e could be of comfort and reassurance '
to loved ones •• "that once there was in time, a time of caring , a time of'
loving, and time of loss, a time of saying good- bye- possi bly a strand in
their own existence". They are at rest and p rotected in care by the
City of Roanoke , Virginia .

Additional:

There are many and most graves are unmarked. The cemetery
is beautiful and in excellent care by th e City of Roanoke t

COMPARISON OF TWO ALLEGHANY COUNTY BUSINESS DIRECTORIES:
CHATAlGNE,S 1893-94
HILL'S 1917

Business Directories can tell us a great deal about our ancestors. If Great Grandad ran a
furniture store or was a stone mason, there is a good chance his name or company name will
appear in a Business Directory or Gazetteer of the time period. Even if he was a farmer, there
is a possibility that his name wi ll be in one.
"So what?" you say, " I already knew he was a farmer. I just can't find hlm on the 1900
Census for Alleghany County because he is not on the Soundex and I don't have time to go
through the entire county line by line." If you will go to the 1893-94 Chataigne's Virginia
Gazetteer and Classified Business Directory , you just might find him in the Indian Draft area
of Alleghany County, then by looking up one of the neighbors on the Soundex and going to
the 1900 Census from that, you might find that the indexer just missed him. Or, if he is not
listed in the business directory, but you know he lived in Blue Spring Run, you can do the
san1e thing using one of the farmers listed for that area.
Please note that I used the word "might" several times in the above paragraph. Remember,
there is still the possibi lity that the family you are searching for was overlooked by the
census taker.
You can also get a flavor of the times from Business Directories. In Hill's \{ir2inia Business
Di rectory and Gazetteer 19 17, under Restaurants E. F. Scott is listed as owner of a restaurant
in Clifton Forge--nice respectable business. However, in the 1893-94 directory, he is listed
as owner of a saloon. Did Mr. Scott change his attitude, did he change the business; or did
the times change and what had before been a term for a respectable eating establishment
come to be associated with hard drinking and rowdiness? A worthy topic for investigation if
E. F. Scott is your ancestor.
Perhaps you would like to know how long the "family business" was in operation. In 1.89394 Farrar &amp; Williamson are listed as Dtuggists in Cl ifton Forge. In 1917 G. M. Farrar is
listed as a druggist in Clifton Forge. In the 1999 phone book for Alleghany County, Farrar's
Drug Store is still listed. If I were a Farrar from C lifton Forge or Alleghany County, I would
be searching for earlier business directories to see when this business was started. I would
also be checkin g to see if the current owner is related.
Please do not overlook the gazetteer portion 0 f these books. It contains information on
population, value of property, names of rivers, mountains and major industries as well as a
brief history of the county.

ALLEGHANY COUNTY.

&gt;Contains large deposits of iron ore, the development of which has ~~
-cently become a subject of interest to capital ists, many of whom ha.'
invested large means in the purchase of lands and ere · rn of furna~t
to the end of the manufacture of iron. The Chesapeake an d Ohio rai'
way traverses the county, connecting with the Warm Springs railroad .
-Covington in this county. The Peters and Warm Springs mountains e
tend through the county in unbroken range, except at Covington, at whic
point there is a narrow gap through which the Jackson river winds it:
way. The passage of the Jackson river through Vvhite's mountain is
majestic feature of the sublime natural scenery of this county.
The northern and middle portion of the county is watered by the Jae~
son and Cow Pasture rivers, which unite in Botetourt, near t;m Alie'
ghany line, and form the James. The rich valleys of the south ar~
wate~ed by Potts' and Dunlap's creeks, the principal branches of Jae
so~ nver.
Covington, the county seat, on Jackson river, and Clifton Forge;
twelve miles distant at the junction of the main line of the Chesapeake
and Ohio with the Richmond and Alleghany branch line, are importan~
and fast growing towns. Low Moor, on the Chesapeake and Ohio:
road, eight miles from Covington, is the place of location of the Lo~
Moor Iron Works, which manufacture one hundred and twenty-five ton
of iron daily, and employ about six hundred men. Since the publid:
tion of the last Directory there has been great development of the mi~
eral resources of the county and large increase of the population, i~
portant towns have sprung up 'and manufacturing plants have been e
tablished. According to the last census there were but two counties iJI
the State that showed a larger proportionate increase ;11 populati on a.
values. There is not only an abundance of corn, oats and wheat beside\.
the dairy and orchard products raised for the uses of the people, but¢
surplus for market. The raising of live stock is '"'- ~ of the principa:
rndustries of the farming population.
As there is so much mountain land in the cou ntv th,. average asses~err
walue is small.

FROM WHERE I SIT
THOUGHTS FROM YOUR EDITOR...
How many tiJnes have you looked in an index, saw your surname, but did not bother to
look it up because your family did not spell it the same way? Many times I have heard
patrons in the Virginia Room say "My mother's family was Green, with an 'e"' or "No,
that's "Robe11son' not 'Robinson"'. I've even heard one patron say "My mother was a
Reynolds. She always spelled her name that way and that's the only way I've seen it. I
can't understand why all her ancestors misspelled it." Please, please do .NOT let yourself
be hindered by the modern world's obsession with spelling. Prior to the Twentieth
Century, the world was a verbal world. SPELLING WAS NOT AN ISSUE. No matter
how a word was spelled (not just names); if you said it aloud and it matched what you
intended to say, it was correct. (I know that spelling was taught in schools during the last
half of the Nineteenth Century, but it really did not catch on with parents, clerks of court
and public officials until much later) In fact, if a clerk of court were to ask your
ancestors how they spelled their names, many times the answer would have been "I don't
know." The clerk simply wrote what he heard.
Please notice that we have only a couple of queries in this issue. The number of queries
over the last year or so hns dropped dramatically. In discussi ons about why this has
happened, several possibilities have come up: "People are too busy." "They're putting
queries on the internet because ifs faster (because they reach more people)." ··Queries
are too hard to write.'' If you are one of those who feel a query on the internet will reach
more people, you are probably right. However, there is a large group of genealogists who
are still not on the internet. Many in this group are older genealogists who have had
many years of researching. ff you do not reach them, you may be missing the benefits of
their knowledge. My recommendation is to put your query on the internet, but put it in
the journals as well.
Don Martindale sent me a copy of a series of e-mail exchanges regarding the selling of
grave markers on eBay auctions. In some of the "ads" for these markers, the seller refers
to the fact that they are " used" or "show signs of use." To give these grave robbers the
benefit of the doubt, they may not realize that every state has laws against vandalism to
graves; and that in selling the markers, they are encouraging it by providing a market.
Therefore, if you see any of this type of activity on the jnternet, e ither at eBay or Amazon
or any other site, please register your complaint with the site itself, with the seller, and
w ith your own state's authorities. This is an activity that should not be tolerated
PERIOD!
Beginning in the February 2000 issue of the VAN, we will be highlighting one of the
twenty-nine counties of southwestern Virginia in each issue. By highlighting, I mean that
your editor will be checking out sow-ces for genealogical research in that particular
county, publishing lists of what is available in court houses, libraries, genealogical and
historical societies, and other pertinent information she can find. Your mission is to send
VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�62
any original research you have done in that county; cemeteries you have recorded ;
problems you have encountered; successes you have had; transcriptio ns o f w ill s, deeds,
court orders; obituaries; family B ibles; abstracts o f will books, deed books, etc. pertaining

Craig County Virginia Marriages, 1911 - 1939, compiled by Ruth G . Hale. 1998.

Mrs. Hale has taken the marriages from the marriage register for Crai g C ounty and listed
them chronologically with all the pertinent information included . T he groom is listed in
column one with all his information below his name, the bride in co lumn two with her
information. The date the license was issued, the date of the marriage, the loca tion of the
marriage and the name of the minister is all in column three. She has included an Inde x
to the Brides and Grooms in the back along with some e xamples of ma rriage I iccnscs .
The print is very clear and easy to read and I know it will be a tremend o us hel p to a ll who
are looking for marriages in Craig County during this ti me period . The o nl y thing this
reviewer would like to have seen is to have parents and ministers inc luded in th e index.

WHAT'S OLD IN THE VIRGINIA ROOM
This series of articles will highlight some of the materials that are located in the Virginia
Room of the Roanoke City Public Library that may be overlooked because they have
been there for some time. For those of you who do not have access to this li brary. be sure
to check for availability at your own local library or possibly what might be available on
inter-library loan.
THE DRAPER MANUSCRIPTS:
Lyman C. Draper (1815- 1891) developed a keen interest in history during his youth and
throughout his lifetime gathered as many copies of archival records, newspaper articles,
original manuscripts as he could. On several trips throughout the southeastern and
middle states he also interviewed a great many people and made notes of their
recollections. In total, the collection is composed of nearly 500 volumes of records which
are housed in the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. In 1949 a mi croft Im edition of
the manuscripts became available for the first time. During the time from 1970-1 98 1, a
new microfilm edition was made, finding aids, and the Guide to the Draper !vfanuscripts,
by Josephine L. Harper were published to make research in the manuscripts easier.
Several libraries across the nation have the complete set of manuscripts, including the
State Library of Virginia.
The Virginia Room has the following series from the collection on microfilm
(descriptions are taken from the above mentioned Guide which the Virginia Room also
has):
Series CC - Kentucky Papers - 37 volumes
"A large collection of papers of diverse dates, format, and content dealing with the early
history of Kentucky rather than with the life of any particular person or family. Acquired
by Draper from many sources, this series includes many original manuscripts of the
eighteenth and early nineteenth century created not only by pioneer Kentucky settlers but
by persons representing numerouse occupations and professions--land promoters,
surveyors, farmers, housewives, historians, teachers, clergymen, merchants, and
soldiers."
Series QQ - William Preston Papers - 6 volumes
Entirely original papers, l 731-179 1, of William Preston ( 1729-1783) and of a few of his
relatives including James Patton and John Buchanan (Patton's son-in-law). These three
men held various civil offices in Augusta, Botetourt, and Fincastle counties when these
areas were indeed the frontier.

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�71

"Through David Campbell, former Virginia governor, Draper was introduced to members
of the Preston family in 1844. Two years later W.R. Preston, grandson of William
Preston, gave to Draper the original manuscripts composing this series."
Series XX - Tennessee Papers - 7 volumes
"Original papers of early Tennessee settlers, their later reminiscences, and Draper's
correspondence with smviving ioneers and descendants. Draper gathered most of these
materials early in his research career ( 1840-1854) as sources for use in writing his
proposed biographies of Joseph Martin, James Robertson, John·Sevier, and their
comrades."
·
Series ZZ - Virginia Papers - 16 volumes
"Papers collected by Draper and partially arranged by him about 1865-1869 when he was
planning to publish an enlarged and revised edition of Joseph Doddridge' s Notes on the
Settlements and Indian Wars ofthe Western Parts of Virginia and Pennsylvania, 17631783 (Wellsburgh, VA., 1824).

Now, you may ask "What has all this to do with genealogy?" If you have done any
research for the time period prior to 1850, you know how hard it is to place specific
people in specific locations at specific times. Lyman Draper was interest in the history of
the trans-Alleghany West, a region embracing the western areas of the Carolinas and
Virginia, portions of Georgia and Alabama, the entire Ohio River Valley, and part of the
upper Mississippi Valley, from the period of the frontier conflicts in the 1740' s and
1750's to the American Revolution and the War of 181 2. AND HE DID HIS
RESEARCH 150 YEARS AGO. The people he interviewed remembered the Revolution
and the War of 181 2 and their parents told them directly what life was like during the
Indian Wars and the settlement of this area.
Not only that, they mentioned names and relationships, dates and places, and gave a great
many details of life on the frontier. Even if you do not find a single person related to
your genealogical research; if you take a look at the Draper Manuscripts that cover the
place and time where your family settled (or even stayed only briefly), you will come
away which a new understanding of and appreciation for the lives they lived.
My personal experience with the Draper Manuscripts came about as a result of an
assignment given me in my training to work in the Virginia Room. I was simply told to
look up something in the Draper Manuscripts. So I picked my maiden name of
McQueen. I fo und a referenced to an interview with a Joshua McQueen and that he
mention his brother Thomas. Well, my fourth great-grandfather was named Thomas and
according to the totally undocumented family history given to me by my parents, Thomas
had a brother named Joshua. When I looked up the reference, there was a nine-page
(handwritten) transcript of an interview with Joshua McQueen who told in great detail the
VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�72

experiences of his brother Thomas McQueen during the Revolutionary War w hi ch
confirmed much of what was a " Family Legend." In addition, Joshua told how the
McQu eens came to Kentucky and the fact that Thomas went on to Indiana after the w ar
and how proud Thomas was of the fact that three of his sons became ministe rs of the
Gospel.

This makes m e feel that he would be proud of my father who was a minister of the
Gospel and m y brother who is also a minister. Genealogy is fa r more tha n nam es and
dates on a chart!
While we are on the subject of the Draper Manuscripts, there are a few things to b e aware
of and to beware of:
l.

When places are mentione~, keep in mind that these are places of the time a nd
many of them no longer
c.
th e ti· m e m
.
. .exist. If you can, find a map of the a rea 1rom
question to see where 1t is.

2.

Don't look in an inde~ and stop t?~re if you don' t see your a ncestor. C heck under
names of children, neighbors, m1l1tary conections, in-laws, etc.

3.

Spend some time getti.ng used to the handwriting . If you struggle through several
exerpts, it will get easier. The more yo u read, the mo re you w ill be able to read .

wo rd query (does not include your name and address) per issue as space pennits. The typist will
not compose queries for you, so please make your query as clear and specific as possible so that
others can understand them and have a chance to help you. Each query should include name,
dates, and location to identify the problem. Please CAPITALIZE surnames - is it Mary Smith
JONES (single) or Mary SMITH JONES (maiden &amp; married name). Do not abbreviate, we will. If
not typed, please PRINT - some written queries we have not been able to read. Queries for nonmembers are S&lt;t (cents) per word not including your name and address. Queries must be
received prior to the 1st of the month preceding publication.

FAMILY REUNION, PUBLICATION OF BOOK, NEWSLETTERS, ETC.:
Limited to 60 words, not including your name and address. We cannot edit a full page down to 60
words - so send the notice as you want it printed. These notices will be put .in as space permits.
Members will be given priority in publishing these notices.

MATERIAL FOR PUBLICATION: We welcome articles, records , etc. for publications.
The material when received may not be used in following issue, but in a future issue. If a large
amount of material is sent, it may take a while to publish because we try to have a variety of
material in each issue. (1) READY FOR PUBLICATION (which the editor loves). Please type
using a carbon ribbon or dark ribbon and CLEAN KEYS. Use 8 1/2" x 11 ''paper. single space, with
a minimum margin on ALL sides of 1 inch. Center your title. Be sure to include your name,
address, and date (year) on the document. If not typed for publication, please PRINT PLAINLY some articles that have been hand written we have not been able to read , or those that are typed
with all caps are difficult to read . PLEASE read material over before mailing and double check a ll
dates . (2) GIVE SOURCE OF MATERIAL. Original documents - where found, type of record,
page number, etc., or, if known, who now has the document in their possession . We CANNOT
PRINT material from printed sources unless we have written permission from the publisher, which
you MUST FURNISH. We must have source of material to give credit to the person who has done
the work. (3) DEADLINE for submitting material should be at least two months before date of
publication. (4) PLEASE do not send material that you want returned - send a photocopy to us
instead . That way it won't get lost, as letters do get misplaced, when passed from one person to
another.
SURNAME INDEX: Information will include name (given and surname), place
(location at time of date), Date (birth .. death, marriage, or where living at the dat e
given). 'WASKEY, William Christopher - Montgomery Co, VA-1900-10 death'' If this
data takes more than one line or the spouse is included on the same line, it w ill
count as two names. The limit is 1o names. The surname index is published in the
August issue.

VAN cannot vo uch for the accuracy of the material submitted to us and
printed by us. The 'translation' of the original
document may not be correct - get a copy of the
original document, if possible, to see if you
agree with the printed version.

Online Genealogy
Steve Jenkins

There has been a revolution brought about by linking computers worldwide and it is beginning to
change the field of genealogical research. Though these changes are for the most part in their
infancy. their impact wi ll grow and become one of the genealogists most important tools.
Thanks to the vision and impact of Apple Computers and their Macintosh model, personal
computers (PC) and the internet has become as easy and fun to explore as your favorite shopping
mall. At first, IBM based computers were so complicated that you needed a degree in electronics
and knowledge of obtuse, complicated jargon and mathematic like program.ming languages just to
find the "on" button. Even with the development of Microsoft's software for the PC, DOS (Disk
Operating System), you still needed to master a cryptic fom1 of shorthand to manage your
computer.
Now. software is pre-loaded on the PC's and computer icons have changed the complicated
commands needed to operate a computer to just pointing to and clicking a symbol on the monitor
screen. This has made using a PC easy and intuitive. You can plug in your computer to the electric
power and your phone line~ set up an internet account and start searching for your family and
ancestors.
Anyone who can type can use a PC to do research on the Internet v.rith only an hour of guidance
from a computer literate friend.
Understanding what kind of resources are avai lable on the Internet is important to the genealogi~t
and family historian. By its very nature, no source can be better than a secondary source and is
more usually tertiary or quaternary source at this time. As far as I know, no government body uses
only computerized records yet. Most of the information I have found has been transcribed from
hi storic sources and a fo ll ow up and check of source records is imperative.
At best, the Internet should be considered an additional research tool, pointing the way to sources of
evidence a nd other genealogist researching the same lines. But, considering that the Internet can
save you munero us phone calls to other researchers or hours and days of searching tlu·ough the
wrong co urthouse for the records you want, it is and will be a boon to genealogists everywhere.

A key to using the internet for researching your ancestors is u1H.lcrsta11d i ng w ha t kind of
information or resources each site provides. "Surfing" the ne t \ Va s a n c~1sy "ay rnr me to find that
my great-great-grandparents were married in Bro,vn Co .. Indi a na i11 stL'~1d or ~!11.:lhy Co . w ere they
lived. Now when I plan a trip to the courthouses in Indiana . I ,,·ill he sure tP i11cludc Bn n\'n County.

A good point to make here, though, is that you sho uld still take the time tn gu throug h a ll o f the
record years looking for the surnames you are researching a nd no t just look at the Jatc the internet
gave for a particular record. Evidence seldo m occurs as a n iso lated entry in a record boo k a t the
courthouse, so check all of the records for the period a nd na mes .\'lrn arc rcscarchi 1112. to u.c t the full
benefit of the "lead" the internet produces, that way you \\'O n ' t ha , ·c t L) return nc.--:t : ca r.

instance, a search for "Smith" might return forty or fifty thousand occurrences of that name

VIRGINIA APPALACHIA POSTAL HISTORY- POST OFFICES AND
POSTMASTER APPOINTMENTS: THE STAMPLESS PERIOD
by H. A. Hudson

We are indeed fortunate that many old letters from Virginia did survive the fires, floods and
conflicts of the past. Without these documents genealogists and historians would find many a
dead end street in their work. There is a group of individuals who specialize in this type of
material. You might call them postal historians. Some of us also use this field of interest combined
with genealogy to enhance both areas of study. I enjoy researching the old letters from the
stampless period (before 1850) from a postal history perspective and sharing this information with
genealogists. Applying this field of study to genealogy can provide a real bonus to the researcher.
Virginia is very rich in postal history and a complete discussion of the topic is way beyond the
scope of this article. For our purposes here, we will be discussing the period after the
Revolutionary War until the first stamps were issued in 1847. As the population of the various
counties increased, so did the number of towns and with it the establishment of official post
offices. Prior to the establishment of official post offices, mail was handled on an informal basis by
residents and travelers going from point to point. Mail handled in this fashion is termed "carried
outside the mail," as it had no official Post Office Department sanction. Mail and letters in this
style are often marked "By the Favor of,"or "By the Politeness of," indicating who actually
carried it to its destination. In slave states, letters may be marked "By the boy (name)," indicating
that the letter was carried by a slave or possibly a servant of the writer.
There are hundreds of towns within the Virginia Appalachian region that had official post
offices during this period Each of these towns had postmasters appointed by the Postmaster
General in Washington. The position of postmaster was quite important as he was often one of
the few inruviduals who could read and write. At times, he may have been the only U. S.
Government official in the area. He served as a witness to legal matters, fiiend and counselor to
many and conveyor of news to alJ. Often the post offices were located in stores, stands, at crossroads, ferries, forges and other prominent landmarks. Being a postmaster was not a full-time
occupation in the early settlements as the postmaster still had to keep his store, farm and tend to
other frontier business.
There were no household deliveries of the mail. You had to go to the post office yourself and
pick it up. Letters arriving in the mail was news in itself and this news was spread far and wide so
the mail could be picked up. If a letter remained at the post office for a long period, the
postmaster could run an ad in the local paper. This resulted in an extra fee that was applied to the
letter. Sometimes these letters carry the markings "Advertised" or "Adv." Everyone who has read
old newspapers has seen the listing of people who had letters waiting for them at the local post
office.
A study of the appointment of the various postmasters can assist the genealogist or historian in
placing particular individuals at their post office location within their tenure. The following pre-

These postmaster appointments are genealogically significant as one family member often
succeeds another in the appointment. Sometimes the town is named for the first postmaster.
Researchers can use this information to great advantage in their work. For information about
postmaster appointments prior to 1832, you should consult National Archives and Records
Administration microfilm publication M 1131 Record ofAppointments qfPostmasters, Oct. 17891832. There are four rolls of microfilm, arranged alphabetically by name of post office. For
postmaster appointments after 1832, consult M841, Record of Appointment ofPostmasters,
1832-Sept. 30, 1971. There are 145 rolls of microfilm in this set of records, arranged by state,
then by county, and then by the name of the post office. If you are interested in the specific
physical location of a particular post office, consult Ml J26, Post Office Department Records of
Site Locations, 1837-1950. There are 683 rolls of microfilm in this record set. These records are
available at the NARA in Washington, DC and at selected branch offices. You might also want to
check with LDS Family History centers for microfilm loan. You will have to cross~reference the
NA.RA film numbers/title to obtain the LDS item number.

What did the mail look like during this period? How was it sent and delivered? Could you
recognize an item of early postal history? As an introduction to a study of early postal history, the
first United States postage stamp was issued in 1847. For some times aftetwards, these initial
stamps were not available to all post offices. They were most certainly not made available to small
post offices in Appalachia. Postage stamps were required on all mail on and after January l,
1856. Before stamps were made mandatory, the mail was sent stampless, that i~ without stamps.

These items of early postal history are called stampless covers or stamp less letters and they are
highly collectible, not only for their postal markings, but also for their historical content .
A typical stampless letter was simply a folded letter sheet that had been sealed w ith wax after it
was written, then addressed and taken to the post office for mailing . Envelopes were not in
common use until the mid 1850s. Once it was in the hands of the postmaster, it v.··as postmarked
using a hand stamp not much unlike what is still in use today In most cases, the hard stamp was
provided by the Post Office Department. Various colors of ink wert! used, \vith black, blue, red
and green being the most common. If the revenue from the post office did not meet certain levels,
the Post Office Department would not provide the postmaster with a hand stamp The postmaster
had to resort to posting the Jetter in manuscript . These are called manuscript postmarks or
manuscript cancels. The postmaster then. had to apply a ~ate schedule or fee schedule to the letter.
Various fee schedules were used depending .on the rates m effect at the time This was usua11y
based on the weight of the letter or on the distance the letter was to travel. Tht rates were either
stamped on the letter or written in manuscript. Most of the rates were due rate~. that is. the
recipient had to pay the fees at .the dest.ination of the lette:. Woul.dn ' t that be a novel thought
today? It might even eliminate JUnk mall. Yes, there was Junk mat! back during the stampless
period, called circulars, and ~hey could be sent for less than a. letter The sender could pre-pay the
fees and if they were pre-paid, the postmaster would note this on the face of t he letter us·
mg a
hand' stamp "Paid," or by writing "Pai"d" on the Ietter next to t he rate.
Certain individuals, bec~use o~their office or position, had free franking privileges. Senators,
certain federal appointees, mcludmg postmasters, U. S. Congressmen and others made th 1. t

the face of the letter. These free rranke? letters and c~vers are extremely collectible and are
readily sought by collectors at dealerships and at auctions.
In the early stampless period, hand s~mps were used ~n Salem from 1839-51 with only circular
stamps being reported. Black and blue ~s were used with the~e stamps. Manuscript postmarks
have been found from Salem for the penod of 1819-44. There 1s about a five year overlap w here
both manuscript cancels and circular date stamps were used. To distinguish the town of Salem in
Botetourt County from another Salem, the postmaster sometimes wrote "Salem Bot" as the
postmark. Figure No.1 is a stampless folded letter fro~ Sa.lem, :'irginia using a black circular date
stamp postmarked July 24, 1847. The rate of 5 cents is wntt~n m manuscript on the letter. This is
a due rate, payable at the Christiansburg post office upon delivery. The writer wrote "Mail" in
manuscript on the letter.
The post office at Fincastle used circular date stamps from 1833-53 w ith red, blue, black and
green inks. No other shapes have been reported. Hand stamps for Paid, Free, 3, 5, 6 and 10 were
also used. Manuscript postmarks for Fincastle have been reported for the years 18 16-44. There is
about an eleven year overlap where man~script c~ce~s .and ci~cular date stamps were u sed. Figure
No. 2 is a stampless folded letter from Fincastle, V1rg1ma beanng a manuscript cancel dated
February 20, 1846. This postmark makes the cover somewhat more collectible in that it is two
years later than reported. The rate of five cents is noted in manuscript o n the lett er and it w as

prepaid at the Fincastle post office as the postmaster wrote ''Paid" by the rate. The Jetter was sent
to the postmaster at Christiansburg.
The Flukes post office is a mystery to most postal historians. Not very much in known about it.
N o hand held stamping devices have been reported used at this post office and most all references
on postal history do not list any manuscript covers being reported. So let's make a little history
here and talk about one. Figure No. 3 is a stampless folded letter from Flukes, Virginia bearing a
manuscript postmark dated May 12, 1836. The due rate for the letter is 12 1h cents and this is
noted in manuscript on the face of the cover. The letter was sent to Amherst, Virginia.
The post office at Christiansburg used circular date stamps froni 1826-52, with red, blue and
black inks. No other shapes have been found for the town. Hand stamps for.Paid, 3 and 5 have
been found. Manuscript postmarks have been reported as early as 1827. There is about a 2 year
period when both circular date stamps and manuscript cancels were used. Figure No. 4 is a
stampless folded letter from Christiansburg, Virginia using a blue circular date stamp dated July
27, 1840. The rate for the letter was 12 1h cents and this is written in manuscript on the letter.
The rate was pre-paid at the Christiansburg post office and the postmaster stamped a blue "Paid"
on the letter. The letter was sent to Lynchburg.
The Lynchburg post office used circular date stamps from 1809-56 using black, red, blue and
green inks. They also had hand stamps for Paid, Fre !, J , I 0, Paid 3 in a circle, Way and 6 . N o
manuscript postmarks have been reported. Many v Jiations of the Lynchburg postmark can be
found on old letters. Figure No. 5 is a stampless fc ,, ed letter from Lynchburg, Virginia using a
black circular date stamp dated August 7, 1852. T tJ ~ rate for the letter is 5 cents and this is noted
with a black 5 stamped on the letter. This is a du: ate, payable at the letter's destination,
Richmond, Virginia.
Historians can have a field day examining old fetters from this period, not only looking at the
postal markings, but also at the content of the letter. Many of the same things we consider
important today were important back then- land, agriculture, weather, politics. Often we get to
hear how events took place directly from the people involved in them. Genealogists sometimes
overlook the importance of this type of material in their research. From such a study, both a
sender and a receiver can be placed in exact locations at exact times, thus being better than the
census at locating specific individuals. Family mail provides a wealth of information not only
about the family members but also about family migration patterns. As a tool for postal
historians, the census can be used to locate a letter writer when post office markings cannot be
read (which is quite often). I have frequently used the census index, either in book for_m or CD
format to pinpoint an individual and from there locate the town in which he lived. This does not
work in all cases as the census i~ taken only every ten years and people moved aroun~. This
method works best for letters written in or near the decennial year and for letters wntten by the
head of household as they are the only individuals listed on the census by name until 1850.
You should always take great care in reading, handling and displaying old letters. Paper will
not last forever and it is very important to preserve these items for future generations to enjoy.
These items are easily damaged by dampness, light and even the oils and moisture from human

German church records (a. k. a. Kirchenbiicher) are veritable
treasure troves of information. This is especially true of those
records associated with the German churches which practiced infant
baptism i n this country in the 18th and 19th centuries, e.g., the
Lutheran and German Reformed churches. While the registers vary
greatly in completeness and difficulty of script, they will be the
focus of this presentation.
The church registers kept by the Lutheran · and the Reformed
settlers in the Valley of Virginia provide priceless information
on births, baptisms and communions
shed some li ght on deat h s
wi t hin the community, and occasionally indicate precise dates of
marriage. The really good news is that in the process of doing all
of the above they also illuminate extended family relationships ,
i~dicate language shifts and naming patterns, and help document
migration patterns - on both sides of the Atlantic .
Kirchenbiicher are a particularly valuable resource for those
that know how to unlock and decipher their secrets - incl~d~ng the
indisputable fact that many apparently " English" families in
Virginia have some very German roots.

It is likely that many of the following questions will be
addressed during the course of the presentation :
Why study extended families?
Why are German churches concentrated in the Valley?
Why are baptismal sponsors important? Who were they?
Why and when did the surnames change?
What ' s distinctive about the naming pattern(s)
us ed
Germans?
What's a Union Church?

VIRGI NIA APPA LAC H IAN NOTES

HELPFUL HINT #1: If you are typing a German name or word and need
to indicate an umlaut ( " ), try the following keystrokes:
WordPerfect 5 . 1:

enter Ctrl-v followed by o"

(the o key and then

the quotation mark) which produces o - or enter Ctrl-v followed by

A" to produce

A

Micr os oft Word 6.0 and later: type the word or name in need of an
umlaut as follows : Meyerhffer . Place the cursor where the letter
with the umlaut is needed . From the insert menu , choose " symbol."
In the font box , choose " normal text. " Double cli c k t he desired
character, i . e ., a, e, i, b , or ti , and it ' s yours. Meyerhffer now
becomes Meyerhoffer .

Both work like a charm!

* ***
HELPFUL HINT #2: Unfortunately, most genealogy software does not
allow you to enter umlauts so easily . Accordingly, you will likely
be forced to follow the following,
fairly well established,
convention when entering information into your database: MULLER
will be entered in the database as MUELLER; Wurttemberg will be
rendered as Wuerttemberg.

* ** *
HELPFUL HINT #3: You need to keep in mind the fact that in Germany
dates are usually written as day/month/year . If you read on a
tombstone or in a church book that a person died 5.6.1850 you can
confidently assume that it means the person died on 5 June 1850
not on May 6, 1850 . Be warned that there are many errors in print
as a result of transcribers not being aware of this fact.

*** *
HELPFUL HINT ,4 : Keep in mind the fact that in Europe in the 17th
and 18th centuries intermarriage between Reformed and Lutheran
people was often as full of difficulties as intermarriage with a
Roman Catholic. To help minimize the problem(s) associated with
marriage between members of the Lutheran and the Reformed
churches, attempts t o unify the two German Protestant churches was
begun in Prussia in 1817 by order of Frederick Wilhelm III.
VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

While intermarriage between the two Protestant groups was far less
of a problem in the new world wh ere common language and customs
tended to count for so much more, the followin g general " rule "
can, nevertheless, be perceived on both sides of the Atlantic in
the 18th century in cases of intermarriage between members of the
Lutheran and the Reformed churches : boys generally followed the
religion of their father and girls tended t o follow the religion
of their mother . I need to emphasize that i t is not a hard and
fast rule . Rather, i t is me.rely something to keep in mind . .

FROM WHERE I SIT
THOUGHTS FROM YOUR EDITOR ...
In the listing of Officers, Board Members, and Committee Chairpersons on the inside
front cover of this issue please note that there is no chairperson listed under the Book
Review committee. If you think you could fill this position, please contact Wendy James
and volunteer. Without the help of members like yourself. the work of the Society will
not get done. You can see that some of our officers have spread themselves pretty thin
nnu we really cannot ask them to do more. IT'S YOUR TURN TO TAKE SOME
RESPONSIBILITY!
I now have e-mail. If you would like to contact me directly. I can be reached at
&lt;amsylvcst@cxcite.com&gt;. You may send me comments concerning the VAN, ideas for
articles you would like to submit, responses to any of the articles appearing in the VAN.
or suggestions for improving the VAN. I look forward to hearing from you.
In today's world, with the Internet, books being published and reissued at a tremendous
rate, many more books being self-published, we are constantly being bombarded with
information. Some of this information is new. some of it is merely old information
rehashed; but f!l.l of it is questionable. By that I mean that as researchers, we must
continuously question aU that we read. We must ask the simple question: "How do they
(the authors) know that?" The really good ones will tell us without our physically writing
o r calling to inquire. It will be documented in the articles they write. However, you
shou ld not stop there. Check out at least several of their documentations. If an author
says information on a birthdate was obtained from a birth register, go look at that register
on that date to be sure that all the information given is there. If the author gives more
information than what is on the birth register, such as a mother's maiden name, ask how
th at informatio n was obtained. If you do not go to the sources for all the information you
receive, then you are not a researcher. You are only a gatherer.
This brings us to another very important topic. There are many gatherers in this world
trying to present themselves as researchers. You have been warned quite often about the
group from Bath, Ohio, who gather general information on a particular surname and offer
it to the public as research, usually at a heftly price. But keep in mu1d that this is not the
on ly group doing this. In the February/March 1999 issue of The Family Tree published
by Odom Library in Georgia, is a caution about the World Fan1ily Heritage Society in
Philadelpia, Pennsylvania, which was submitted to them by the Clan Leslie Society
concerning two products entitled: The Nei-11 World Book ofleslies and The Leslie Fami(r
CD Rom Collection. To quote the Clan Leslie Society from The Family Tree: ''In the
Fine print under ·satisfaction Guarantee'' they say, 'No direct genealogical connection to
your family or ancestry is implied or intended.' It is supposed to contain government
records (presumably US). records like passenger/immigration lists and census, social
security, marriage, birth and death records. I las anyone seen this product and is it worth
the $50 they are asking?" C heck it out ! Be a researcher! Seek truth!

MATERIAL !FOR PUBLICATION: We welcome articles, records, etc. for publications.
The material w hen received may not be used in following issue, but in a future issue. If a large
amount of material is sent, it may take a while to publish because we try to have a variety of
material in each issue. (1) READY FOR PUBLICATION (which the editor loves). Please type
using a carbon ribbon or dark ribbon and CLEAN KEYS. Use 8 1/2" x 11 " paper, single space, with
a minimum margin on ALL sides of 1 inch. Center your title. Be sure to include your name,
address, and date (year) on the document. If not typed for publication, please PRINT PLAINLY some articles that have been hand written we have not been able to read, or those that are typed
with all caps are difficult to read. PLEASE read material over before mailing and double check all
dates. (2) GIVE SOURCE OF MATERIAL. Original documents - where found, type of record,
page number. etc., or, if known, who now has the document in their possession. We CANNOT.
PRINT material from printed sources unless we have written permission from the publisher, which
you MUST FURNISH. We must have source of material to give credit to the person who has done
the work. (3) DEADLINE for submitting material should be at least two months before date of
publication. (4) PLEASE do not send material that you want returned- send a photocopy to us
instead. That way it won't get lost, as letters do get misplaced, when passed from one person to
another.

(location at time of date), Date (birth, death, marriage, or where living at the date
given). 'WASKEY, William Christopher. Montgomery Co, VA- 1900-10 death" If this

count as two names. The limit is 1O names. The surname index is published in the
August issue.

EDITOR'S NOTES

Concerning the repeat of the Surname Submitter by Reference Number
beginning on page 131, it seems some names were inadvertently
omitted in the August issue .
Don Martindale explains it all on
page 135.
Once again, space is limited in this issue due to the siz e of the
Index. If your submission did not get published this t i me, it will
be in a l ater issue. I sincerely appreciate all of you who have
sent in mace r ial to be published.
It is e very editor's dream to
have a backlog of articles .
Please, PLEASE , don' t stop now_
February 's VAN is a l ready begin~i~g to take shape, but I will r.eed
more articles, cemeteries, etc., then there's May, and so on and so
forth.

Virginia. Religious Groups and The Historical Library

Genealogists researching in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley may encounter ancestors who were members of
some of che Anabaptist -Yknnonice or BrethrervDunkard churches. Here is a brief discussion of some of
these groups, with an attempt to sketch their dilferent origins and characteristics.
I. The Mennonites
The largest group of Mennonites in Virginia belong to The Mennonite Church. Their district is called
Virginia Mennonite Conference. with headquarters in Harrisonburg. They practice a moderate to
progressive style of Mennonitism, emphasizing the centrality of the Bible, community, simplicity,
peacemaking, service, missions, and Christian discipleship. Mennonites originated in 1525 in the Swiss
Brethren/Anabaptist movement in Zurich, Switzerland. Stressing baptism of adult believers only and
separation of church and state, they soon clashed with the Catholic and Zwinglian churches and were
severely persecuted. However, the movement spread throughout Gennany , the Low Countries and other
areas , surviving a long period of hardship. The name Mennonite comes from a former Dutch priest,
Menno Simons , who became a strong leader in Friesland and North Germany (1 S30s to 1561 ).
Mennonites established their first permanent settlement in the colonies at Germantown, Pa. in 1683 and
their first homes in Virginia in Page County in the late 1720s.
Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg is operated by The Mennonite Church and is the Mennonite
higher educational center in the East. Its Menno Simons Historical Library and Archives, with its rich
collection of historical and genealogical materials, will be discussed below.

Other Anabaptist/Mennonite groups in Virginia include
--- Old Order :'vlennorutes. These are:: a varietv of churches, mostly in Rockingham Coum:y, who practice a
very traditional \'1ennonite Lifesrvle. Most of them travel bv horse a.nd buggy and dress very c0nservatively.
Theologically they are almost like the Virginia Conference ·Mennonites. but the Old Orders' simple living.
adherence to farming, conservative garb and rejection of higher education set them apart The original
group of Va. Old Orders began about 1900 as a conservative movement out of the Virginia Conference.
--- Southeastern Mennonite Conference. Founded in 1972 when another conservative group left the
Virginia Conference be&lt;::ause of the main group· s rapid modernization, their center is in Rockingham
County. Thev dress conservarivelv have automobiles and other modem conveniences, but practice a sty!e
of Mennonitism common in the rrtiddle decades of this cenrury. They have missions and operate a school
for grades I thrc ugh 12. but few attend college
- Old Order ..\.mish. This group comes from a division in Europe about I 700 when an ultraconservative
group left the .\ilennonites over several issues of strict practice, including shunning of disobedient members.
Today many of these horse-and-buggy people are scattered across America, but there are only a few small
congregations in Bland, Giles, Tazewell (Burkes Garden) and Washington (Abingdon) Counties, Virginia.
--- Beachy .-\rrush Church. These progressive .\!rush with automobiles began Ln tht! l920s in Pennsylvania.
They are like conservative .\itennonites but ·with some Amish characteristics. Beachy congregations are
located in .-\Jo~ CJtler-... Chartortesville, Farmville, Free f'nion. StuJ.rts Dr..U-1. and Virginia Beach.

Church of the Brethren
This denomination has many congregations scattered throughout the U . S ., including Vir ginia. The German
Baptist Brethren or Dunkards. as they were called earlier, o riginate in Schwarzenau. &lt;ft!m1any in I 708 and
have much in common v.ich the Mennonites. In their founding they combined ideas from Reformed
Proce::aancism, Evangdkal Anabapc1sm and Radical Piecism. Coming w America 1n t 719, they, coo, first
settled in Gennantown, Pa. Brethren came to Virginia in che 1730s and 1740s. They have often lived in the
same communities as the Mennonites, Rockingham and Augusta Counties being examples. Over the years
there has been some Brethren-Mennonite intermarriage. In the past, both groups " dressed plainly.,. They
are both peace churches and they believe in simplicity, community, missions and service. One difference
between the Brethren and Mennonites has been the mode of baptism; the Brethren practice immersion, the
Mennonites typically do not. In some subtle ways the effects of Pietism can be felt among the Brethren.
Instead of having a formal creed or confession of faith as the Mennonites do, the Brethren stress simply the
New Testament, especially the Sermon on the Mount. The Church of the Brethren supports several
colleges, with Bridgewater College being their Virginia school. Their library has Brethren historical and
genealogical materials. As you probably know, Roanoke is also a center for several Brethren
congregations.

These are the major religious groups, sometimes called sects, in which your ancestors may have held

membership.
Menno Simons Historical Librarv, on lhe third floor of Hartzler Library at Eastern Mennonite University, is
Vrrg:inia's best center for genealogical and historical research on Mennonite and related groups. It is a
research library specializing in Anabaptist and Mennonite groups-- their history, doctrine, life and arts, as
well as Shenandoah Valley history, culture and genealogy. Begun in the 1920s, the MSfil contains about
30,000 cataloged vol:Jmes and receives about 480 periodicals, several of which are useful to genealogists.

Gene Swartzell

correspondence with researchers of Russell county early settlers
has been very active. A Tay~or geneal~gy published sc:ne years ago
was read because of the many inter-marriages wic'.1 our Sword Family.
Since our line was not the primary subject, care has been taken to
check all s ou rc~s .
Ir.i.~; ~ 2 f:..:.d}.::~s J:.~ ·/e prompced the £rear that some of the " facts"
were indeed invented by the professional who did ~he 7esearch .. It
is distressing to even think that could happen; but since outrig~t.
fraud was discovered with another published genealogy recently, i t
seems prudent to present the information to our members.

Rules of evidence must be followed.
If you £ind some of your
people have already been recorded by a previous researcher, don't
take their word for it . CHECK &amp; PROVE for yourself.
Use what is

"Elijah Taylor ... married in Russell County,

persona_ property tax lists was 21 November 1808 11
Russell County marriage records begin in 1853 .
NO personal property taxes were levied in Virginia in 1808.
"the Samuel Taylor family transferred from Lovettsville Lutheran
Meeting."
Not found in New J i:::rusalem Lutheran Church records. Not found
in the Fairfax Monthly meeting or Goose Creek Monthly Meeting
records.
"Sarah Taylor christened 16 July 1781, Episcopal Church, Shelburne
Parish, Loudoun County, Virginia"
The Fairfax Monthly Meeting has a Sarah wife of Thomas Taylor
and a Sarah married to a Bernard Taylor, none christened. No
know extant register of the Cameron or Shelburne parishes.

The :KEPLY co the request for helo:
QUOTE
Dear Richard and all rtooters1
To give the researcher from the 1970's every be~efit of doubt., i t
migh t be said that the "professional" researched records . of
Lutheran
church(es),
Reformed
church(es),
and
Mo:avian
congregation(s) and then lumped his findings all t o gether ~ithout
annotating which records came from which churches.
Ther.might.be
ligitimate information in what he collected and only misleading
documentation about his sources.
From my understanding of church history, I regret tot tell you that
at least part of the reason the churches named above do not appear
on the LDS films is that such churches NEVER existed.
I am qu i te
certain there never was a Reformed Luthran church 1 and I do not
believe there ever was a Lutheran/Moravian or Moravian/Lutheran
church. The most ludicrous combination of all is the one cited as
REFORMED LUTHERAN CHURCH , Moravian Congregation 1 York Co, PA!
Since the 16th century, Lutheran congregations have followed the
teachings and practices of Luther from Germany, while Reformed
congregations have followed the teachings and practices of Zwingl i
and Calvin from Switzerland.
From early colonial times and
continuing into the early 20th century, due to lack of resources
and in a very cooperative spirit 1 sometimes a Lutheran cong regat ion
and a Reformed congregation would share expenses of building and
maintaining facili.ties for worship in common.
The cooperative
venture were sometimes referred to popularly as "union churches, "
but there ne•rer was a formal merger for any church cal l ed a Union
Church.
In early times the typical pattern was that. a German
Lutheran service of worship and the sacrament of the altar would
take place on one Sunday and the next Sunday a German Reformed
service and communion would take place .
This
pattern of
alternating worship services would of course depend upon the
availability of a Lutheran pastor and a Reformed pastor.
As regards
" Lu theran/Moravian" churches,
this
is
even more
misleading '' :..nformation 11 from the "professional" researcher.
In
early colonia l times the Lutherans in America lacked ordained
p ast ors and ~requencly got together for "publi c wo!:"ship" without a
pastor.
Counc von Zi~zendorf brought a colony of German-speaking
Moravians to America and they developed mi ssionary met.hods of
t rying to con·rert Lutherans to join their ranks.
there was
considerable ancagonism between the tow groups
rather
than
cooperation as the re was between Lutheran and Reformed groups.
Many Lut herans did go over to Moravian congregacions and many
Lutherans

Editor's note: If you have moved, changed addresses, phone numbers
or e-mail addresses, let us know.
It saves a great deal of money
on postage for sending you the VAN. If you do not tell us of these
changes, we must pay postage for the VPu.~ to be returned to us (at
a much higher rate than our bulk mailing, then we must pay first
class postage to mail you a new one (which is even higher) .
With
another increase in postage rates in our not to distant future,
this is even more important.

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

Word query (does not include your name and address) per issue as space pennits. The typist will
not compose queries for you, so please make your query as clear and specific as possible so that
others can understand them and have a chance to help you. Each query should include name,
dates, and location to identify the problem. Please CAPITALIZE surnames - is it Mary Smith
JONES (single) or Mary SMITH JONES (maiden &amp; married name). Do not abbreviate, we will. If
not typed, please PRINT - some written queries we have not been able to read. Queries for nonmembers are S&lt;i (cents) per word not including your name and address. Queries must be
received prior to the 1st of the month preceding publication.

FAMILY REUNION, PUBLICATION OF BOOK, NEWSLETTERS, ETC.:
Limited to 60 words, not including your name and address. We cannot edit a full page down to 60
words - so send the notice as you want it printed. These notices will be put in as space pennits.
Members will be given priority in publishing these notices.

MATERIAL FOR PUBLICATION: We welcome articles, records, etc. for publications.
The material when received may not be used in following issue, but in a future issue. If a large
amount of material is sent, it may take a while to publish because we try to have a variety of
material in each issue. (1) READY FOR PUBLICATION (which the editor loves). Please type
using a carbon ribbon or dark ribbon and CLEAN KEYS. Use 8 1/2" x 11" paper, single space, with
a minimum margin on ALL sides of 1 inch. Center your title. Be sure to include your name,
address, and date (year) on the document. If not typed for publication, please PRINT PLAINLY some articles that have been hand written we have not been able to read, or those that are typed
with all caps are difficult to read. PLEASE read material over before mailing and double check all
dates. (2) GIVE SOURCE OF MATERIAL. Original documents - where found , type of record,
page number, etc. , or, if known, who now has the document in their possession. We CANNOT
PRINT material from printed sources unless we have written permission from the publisher, which
you MUST FURN ISH. We must have source of material to give credit to the person who has done
the work. (3) DEADLINE for submitting material should be at least two months before date of
publication. (4) PLEASE do not send material that you want returned - send a photocopy to us
instead. That way it won't get lost, as letters do get misplaced, when passed from one person to
another.

(location at time of date), Date (birth, death, marriage, or where living at the date
given). "WASKEY, William Christopher· Montgomery Co, VA - 1900-10 death" If this

�THE STORY OF BUZZARD ROCK
SVGS Membership Meeting Program on April 18,
presented by Gary Foutz
II

II

1998

Many of the members present at this program did not know about the
Buzzard Rock Archeological Site which is located on both sides of
the Roanoke River not far from downtown, in the area where the old
American Viscose Plant was built in 1917 .
The name of the site,
Buzzard Rock, first appeared on Roanoke River navigational records
as early as 1837 , probably referring to the turkey vultures which
made their home on the rocky cliffs north of the river's bend .
While evidence of Indian habitation there has been known since at
least that time , it has b een the site of repeat digs for artifacts,
and alternating protection and destruction over about the last 25
years that has been the most informative to those who would like
the site preserved as it is now. Gary explained i t is the largest
archeological find in the entire Roanoke Valley. Gary has repres~nted almo?t a one-man preservation activist in recent years, but
his connect.ion to the land goes back to his childhood when he would
spend many quiet hours at the site.
For more information on the site, a lengthy article with photo graphs appeared in the "Roanoke Times" on March 8, 19 9 8.
Gary's
current project to both define and respect the site is to raise
funds to install a permanent "highway historical marker" nearby .
Almost all the funds are now raised, and the date for unveiling the
marker is tentatively June 6, 1998, on 13th Street Southeast, which
will also include a car pull-off space for future readers of the
sign.
Gary concluded our program by reading us a poem symbolizing the
basic beliefs of our Native American ancestors :
0 GREAT CREATOR

We come before you in a humble manner, and offer you our hearts and
souls, with tears in our eyes and an ancient song from our heart ,
I pray ...
To the four powers of Creation, To the Grandfather
Grandmother Moon, and to Mother Earth, I pray . ..

Sun ,

Be with our ancestors and let them have peace and honor.
elders and children, families and friends, I pray .
I pray for our relations in nature, all that walk,
swim , seen and unseen, I pray ...

to

the

Bless our

crawl,

f ly

and

To the good spirits that exist in every part of Creation and peace
among the four races of humankind , I pray.··
May there be good heal th and healing for our Mother Earth.
May
t~ere be beauty all around us, and we ask that this world be filled
with peace, love and beauty, we pray today.
Amen.

from the Virginia Department of Archives, s hows t he i n formation

There is no reference to
''dau of Sarah Farley" on t he microf ilm.

Pe r h aps Wingfi eld picked up erroneous l y from the marriage on oec.

She was t he daughter
of Sarah Farley .
In this marriage Sarah Farley signed a
permi ssion document fo r h er daughter's marriage, which is on the
same microfilm frame as the bond .
There is no permission document for Sarah Cox's marriage.
Sarah
Cox ' s and Jane Farley ' s marriages are very close time w i se.
The
microfilm has these bonds on adjacent frame s and the original
bonds must have been stored very close together .
Possibly in Wingfield' s copying, the pages were mixed u p .
Many
people, includ i ng this writer, have thought that Sarah's maiden
name was Farley . Also Worrell must have just gotten the date
wrong.
Sarah 's maiden name was probably Cox since:
-S he was re married as a Cox .
-Her daughter Mary was married as a Cox

-She was referred co as Sarah G r y~es alias Cox (Bedford
Co, VA courc papers Sepe . 1784 '
-When Thomas Arthur deeded land t o Sarah ' s children, he
r eferred to them as Graham. (Franklin Co, VA DB
# 1 , Pages 378-379). This was land he bought
fro m Jacob Gra ham when this was Bedford Co and the
court evidently made him return 128 acres to Sarah's
children .
- When Sarah's h usba nd John Furrow deeded this same land to
her children (Franklin Co, VA DB #1 page s 441-442 ) , he
named them as Cocks. This was probably to show he had
no intere st i n the land .
There is the possibility tha t Sarah mar ried a Cox after she
became a widow.
We can find no evidence o n such a marriage . The
n a me Cox or Cocks shows up when the dispute between Sarah and
Jacob Graham arise s over the land on which s h e lived . there were
probably bad feeling s betwee~ the tow families and ~he took back
her maiden name .
Speci al thanks to Hazel Harvey, who pointed out the above problem
with the name Far ley.
Note: Mr. Graham has been doing researc h on the Graham family
for over 30 y ears .

SCANDINAVIAN RESEARCH

TIPS FOR THE GENEALOGIST
If your travel plans to Norway or Sweden include tracking down
relative in the old country, do your homework before you leave
the states .
First, know some basic information about your
ancestors.
This includes the county (fylke in Norwegian and lan
in Swedish) they immigrated from and the city where they
disembarked in the United States.
Also, try to find out if the
immigration officials changed your ancestors' names when they
were registered.
Anglification of names--for instance, Johansen
to Johnson-- was common and could compl i cate your search .
If you can ' t find this information, don't despair.
Numerous
organizations and research centers in the United States , Sweden,
and Norway specialize in generating family trees or assisting
individuals with their own research . And when you've exhausted
the services provided by the organizations listed below, contact
state or local archives and investigate church records once you
arrive in Scandinavia.
Genealogy is a popular pastime in Sweden
and Norway as well , and chances are a local genea l ogist will help
you make the final connections.
For those with ancestors in Sweden, contact:

SCAND I NAVIAN ETIQUETTE
On the surface, Norwegians and Swedes don't seem much different
from Americans . but there are important differences between
Scandinavia and the United States that can sometimes crea te
sticky situations for visitors.
F i rst, the Scandinavian sense of humor is more of the slapstick
variety , earthy and straightforward. Subtle irony or f riendly
teasing, so common in the United States, is less likely to be
appreciated . And yes , Norwegians and Swedes are more liberal in
interpersonal relationships than Americans, a nd their beaches are
usually topless and o f ten nude. but in many o ther ways, locals
are c onservative, dedicated to traditional values that emphasize
thrift and hard work. You'll always score points by praising the
pure Swedish drinking water or the stunning Norwegian mountain
vist as.
There are t wo subjects, however, that you might want to avoid in
casual conversation: politics and religion.
Most Norwegians and
Swedes have a liberal political outlook, a nd your S c andinavi a n
relatives or friends may have f ormed strong opinions that don't
coincide with your own . And though swedes and Norwegians attend

churcn less frequently chan Amer~cans, chey are relig~ous people,
devoted in cheir own way co the Lutheran faith, the state
religion.
You'll go far if you observe some formalicies:
shake hands when
you introduce yourself (including children), shake hands as you
thank your host and hostess for their hospital~ty before you
depart and thank you host for the meal before you ri s e from the
table.

THE NOTORIOUS HISTORY OF
Submitted by:

JOSI~.H

BLANKENSHIP

Michael E . Blankenship, 5320 Spencer Dr., SW
Roanoke, VA 24018-4709

Anyone researching the Blankenship family in Bedford County
has more than likely encountered Josiah Blankenship in the court
records.
Their first thought is probably, "Who is he? 11 ; but
certainly their second thought would be, "I hope he's not in my
family line!" Knowing that no other researcher has dared to touch
the the subject of Josiah , I felt it was time that his deeds were
brought to light .
I knew that Josiah eventually ended up in Williamsburg, so
while I was touring the colonial Capitol last Autumn, I requested
infromation on him.
While no information was immediately
available , I was contacted later by Linda H. Rowe, one of the
historians for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation .
the
information in her letters revealed an even more infamous
reputation than I had suspected.
There may be more records on Josiah Blankenship, but I have
put together the evidence I have accumulated to document his
criminal career .
June 16, 1774 - Virginia Gazette, William Rind, ed., p. 2, c. 2,
and Virginia Gazette, Alexander Purdie &amp; John Dixon, eds., p . 2, c.
l
"At the court of Oyer and Terminer, on Tuesday last, the
following criminals were brought to their trials at the general
court, and received sentence as follows, viz. Josiah Blankinship,
from Amelia, for grand larceny: Burnt in the hand ["Burnt in the
hand" means that the judges approved "benefit of clergy" for the
condemned man (a plea for commutation of the death sentence
ap~licable in several types of capital felony convictions), after
which the public jailer branded him on the thumb in open court.
The brand served several purposes it seems:
The thumb mark
prevents fraudulent claims to "benefit of clergy" which could be
claimed only once; the mark supposedly was a warning to others who
contemplated breaking the law; and, of course, branding amounted to
a lesser, though still unpleasant, punishment for persons granted
"benefit of clergy."
Imprisonment was not a common punishment in
colonial Virginia. -Linda H. Rowe, Historian)
April 18, 1777
Virginia Gazetter, Alexander Purdie, ed.,
supplement, p. 3, c. 2 - Deserted from my company of continental
regulars, John Bentley, Charles Hansley, Josiah Blankenship, and
James Watts.
I will give a reward of 15 DOLLARS for apprehending
each of the above deserters, on their being delivered at head
quarters in Williamsburg . Henry Conway, capt.
July 18, 1777 - Commonwealth Papers Bedford Co . 1777-1904 - I do
hereby authorize and appoint James Greer, constable, to conduct the
within named Josiah Blankenship to gaol. All persons are therefore
ordered in the name of the Commonwealth of Virginia to pay due

obedience to his orders. - John Wilkinson
To the gaoler of Bedford County - I herewith send you Josiah
Blankenship who is convicted before me, one of the justices of this
state, as a felon. These [orders] are therefore in the name of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, that you keep the said Blankenship in
safe custody till he has a regular trial and (is] duly discharged
by course of law and this shall be your warrant . - John Wilkinson
r do hereby instruct you to summons a good and sufficient guard to
keep him safe, as he is a notorious felon, to watch him by night or
by day and be sure to have him well [in] irons. To the Gaoler of
Bedford County - John Wilkinson
July 28, 1777 - Bedford County Court Order Book - At a court held
at the Court House of Bedford County ... for the examination of
Josiah Blankinship on suspicion of his having feloniously taken a
smooth cord gun of the value of 40 (shillings] the property of John
Booth, a good piece of silver &amp; a silver brooch of the value of 2
[shillings) 6 [pence) the property of William Haynes &amp; a suit of
cloathes belonging to Thomas Black of the value of 80 [shillings] ,
a bay horse 4 years old, face value at 20 pounds, a man's saddle
value at 3 pounds 10 shillings, saddle bags ~O (shill ings] , a black
horse the property of Bundrin Buckingham. The Prisoner being led
to the bar in custody of the Sheriff of this county and charged of
thefelony aforesaid, answered he was in no wise guilty thereof.
whereupon the court proceeded to the examination of dundry
witnesses and the prisoner being heard in his own defence.
On
consideration whereof it is the opinion of the Court that the said
Josiah Blankenship ought to be tried for the same before a Courc of
Oyer and Terminer to be held in the City of Williamsburg for the
Trial of Criminals . Whereupon it is commanded the Sheriff that he
remove the prisoner to the Jail of this county and from thence to
the Publick Jail in the said City of Williamsburg. - Moses Belcher,
Thomas Black , John Philip Weaver, Peter Funk, William Haynes ,
Richard Booth ,
William Clay and Rhode Belcher acknowledge
themselves held and firmly bound to the Commonwealth of virginia in
the sume of one hundred pounds each for their personal appearance
at the Capitol in the City of Williamsburg as witnesses on behalf
of the Commonwealth against the said Josiah Blankenship. - Robt.
Ewing
August 29, 1777 - Virginia Gazette, Alexander Purdie , ed., p . 4.,
c. 2 - Taken up in Bedford, a red steer about 3 years old, with a
white face, some white under his belly, the end of his tail white,
marked wich a crop in the right ear, and an underkeel in the left.
Posted, and appraised to 30 s. - Josiah Blankenship (This notice
apparently posted prior to his July, 1777 arrest . ]
November 14, 1777 - Virginia Gazette, Alexander Purdie, ed., p. 2,
c. 2 - At a court of Oyer and Terminer held the 4th, 5th, and 6th
ins cants, Josiah Blankenship, from Bedford, for grand larceny:
Acquitted by the grand jury.

December 19, 1777
Augusta County Order Book 16, page 249
"Called court on James Brown and Josiah Blankenship for breaking
house of Woolrich Waggoner and larceny . .. guilty and sent to
Williamsburg for trial . " [Reference from Chaukley; Blankenship
Records by Julia Gaugle r )
October 30, 1778 - Virgini a Gazette, John Dixon, ed . , p. 3, c . l WILLIAMSBURG. At a General Court, begun and held at the Capitol the
10th instant, the following criminals were condemned to suffer
death:
Joseph Turner, alias Josiah Blankinship, from Albemarle,
for burglary.
October 30, 1778 - Virginia Gazette , Alexander Purdie, ed., p. 3,
c . 2 - WILLIAMSBURG, OCTOBER 30 . On Friday the 16th commenced, and
continued to the 21st , t h e trial of sundry prisoners from the
publick jail ... Josep h Blankinship, from Albemarle, for burglary,
found guilty. And last Tuesday the whole number rece ived sentence
of death .
December 4, 1778 - Virginia Gazette, Dixon and Hunter, ed., p. 2,
c. 2 - WILLIAMSBURG. In the House of Delegates, November 23, 1778.
This day were executed at the gallows near this city, pursuant to
their sentence, the following criminals, viz. John Phillips, Henry
McClanen, Robert Hodges, John Reasor, and Josiah Blankinship .
Since Josiah, in the earliest record, is referred to as being
from Amelia Co., there is an excellent possibility that he was a
descendant of John Blankenship, one of the sons of Ralph, the
progenitor of the Blankenship Family in America. considering the
fact that Josiah sometimes used the alias Joseph Turner, it is
possible that he coul d be the son of John's daughter Amy, who
married William Turner.
Following h is first arrest and his
desert ion fro m t h e col onial army , he could have 11 taken co·ver 11 in
Bedford County near his uncles Is ham Blankenship Sr. and Hudson
Blankenship . However, given the known facts, no conc lusive proof
of Josiah Blankenship's parentage can be presented .

... I have sat at the computer and typewriter too long at a time and
as a result spent Th anksgiving in the hospital.
I said t hey send
women who have just had babies home in 24 hours, but keep me for 8
days. So, I am wa r ni ng all writers and family histor i ans, do not
sit too long at a time no ma tt er how young or old you are. I ended
up wit h clots in one leg from the ankle to the groin and am still
having trouble.
I refused to listen to my husband and sons who
work with computers al l the time, but I am now trying to get others
to listen .
So without going into details about my ailments, it
might be a good idea for you to put a warning in one of your
quarterlies that such results can happen if researchers don't take
heed about sitting too long at one time while researching.
The
readers may be like I was and won't listen, but at least we've
tried.

THE

MCCLANAHAN
TC&gt;

A

CEMETERY:

DUMP I T SHALL
UNLESS---

~ET~,

THE SORRY PLIGHT OF
AN HISTORIC SITE
"To a dump it shall return unless ... "
Such was the heading
given to the editorial of the Roanoke Times on t he Mcclanahan
Cemetery Project last spring . And how prophetic it was, bringing
forcefully to mind the observation made by local his t orian Raymond
Barnes in his article of February 6 , 1965- -nearly 33 years ago:
"The most forlorn and neglected
landmark of old Roanoke is the
Mcclanahan burial plot . .. "
The editorial, which accompanied the Barnes article, was of
equal poignancy and concern.
It was titled "Shall we Forget Our
Heritage" and began by noting that:
"The story told in Raymond Barnes'
historical
article
in
adjoining
columns t oday is enough to cause
every citizen of Roanoke Valley to
hang his head in shame."
This editorial concluded :
"Admittedly, something needs to be
done. A people which loses pride in
its past or which fails to preserve
its heritage and the resting place
of its forbears is poor indeed, and
without hope of foundation upon
which t o build a brighter future."
Hence, deaf ears and uncaring and unconcerned posterity have
so responded to the concluding remark of a brief biographical note
on Elijah Mcclanahan and his brother, James, wri tten in 1894 by
someone who had actually known them in their lifetime:
"They were better and more favorably
k n own, . .. , than any two men in the
county.
A noble pair of brothers.
Long
should
their
memory
be
cherished and honored .Qy their
descendants." (Emphasis added) .
THE RECENT EFFORTS AT RESTORATION
In recent years effort to restore this cemetery and beautify
the knoll upon which it is located had its genesis in 1986 as a

Ad
Hoc
Committee
was
organized
with
representat ives from the DAR, the Fincastle Resoluti?ns. o~ the SAR '
The History Museum &amp; Historical Society of Western Virginia and. t he
Roanoke Valley Preservation Foundation. The Comrni ttee, determined
to do more than merely have the marker replaced, urged Roanoke
City's Council to take over the restoration and permanent care ~ nd
maintenance of the site. After two years of meetings before city
Council and its Water Resources Committee, to whom the request had
been ref erred, the City declined to assume responsibility, al though
a cleaning out of portions of the area was done as wel 1 as a
commitment to r estore the marker and de-weed the area twice a ye ar .
The City's formal resolution concluded that i t would also
"attempt to facilitate a permanent solution," but what action was
intended within the em.brace of the promise to 11 attempt to
fac il i tate" remains undefined and unfulfilled.
After the first cleaning out of· portions of the quarter acre
site, Caleb Rossi, a young boy scout from Botetourt County seeking
to earn his Eagle Scout award, undertook with some of his comrades
to add to the City's operation. They created a pathway to the site
from the alley entrance, stored many of the bricks displaced from
the original enclosure, set up a bench that had been donated,
planted some shrubbery and mulched much of the area.
Not being
spread by a professional landscaper, however, the mulch only served
as a fertilizer for the weeds a nd the are a quickly became the
jungle-like eyesore as so described in the 1965 e ditorial.

REASONS FOR THE CITY'S NON-INVOLVEMENT
One of the reasons advanced by the City i n refusing to become
so involved was the fear of the precedent that it might set .
An
extensive survey was undertaken by the City' s Department of Public
Utili ties somewhat similar to the one now being undertaken by the
Regional Office of the Department of Histo r ic Resources, but
perhaps not quite as accurate or complete .
A large exhibit was prepared s uperimposed upon a map of the
City locating each cemetery that had been identified including a
photograph of each.
Some twenty-six ( 26) cemeteries
suggest that any active involvement in

such a preced~nt, therefore, was simply

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�15

An analysis of those twenty-six, however, which included the
City's well known public cemeteries, church cemeteries (which are
inhibited from public investment by virtue of the separation of
church and state doctrine) and private ones adequately maintained,
showed that there were only four ( 4) others in similar unkept
condition comparable to the Mcclanahan Site.
Of those four, one
was in interminable litigation, one had no graves at all, and the
other two had very little historical significance--certainly
nothing to compare with the Mcclanahan-Lewis background.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SUB-COMMITTEE
The subcommittee of the city's administration in its report to
the Wa t er Resources Committee offered to make space in the City's
Cemetery at Coyner Springs in Botetourt County for the removal of
the Mcclanahan graves, but not at the City's expense.
The Ad Hoc Committee was not impressed with this offer for not
only did the Committee have no funds to finance such a transfer ,
which would have also required an expensive lawsuit to obtain
permission of the Court, but to remove the graves from the existing
site to the graveyard in another county now being used primarily
for the deceased homeless or indigent was not felt to be the proper
"cherishing and honoring" of the memory of these pre- Civil War
leaders as the 1894 biographical sketch had urged.
The sub-committee also suggested , without documentation, that
it would cost about $100, ooo. oo to restore the area-- a grossly
exaggerated
estimate
submitted
in
order
to
justify
its
reco~endation that the City should not get involved.
The Ad Hoc
Committee had advanced a budget of $15,000.00.
The City was also concerned that because it did not own the
property it had no duty to assume the responsibility.
But
reference to powers granted by the city Charter failed to provoke
response .
Paragraph 29 of Article 2 of the Charter provides in
pertinent part that the City has the power"
" ( 29) To acquire . .. lands to be used,
kept and improved as a place for the
interment of the dead, and to make
and enforce all necessary rules and
regulations for the protection and
use
thereof;
and
generally
to
regulate the burial and disposition
of the dead."
Clearly, one of the proper functions of government is to preserve
and maintain its historical resources.

JUSTIFICATION FOR THE RESTORATION
OF THE MCCLANAHAN CEMETERY
Why, however, does the Mcclanahan Cemetery qualify as an
historic resource? Why should the graves of these two, long-dead
citizens (and probably a few more) be restored to any kind of civ i l
environment or their memories perpetuated to the possible exclusion
of other old-time family cemeteries of similar neglect and
abandonment?
Let, therefore, the two persons sought to be memorialized be
introduced, after first noting, however, that the site of their
graves on the commanding knoll behind Advance Auto Stores near the
intersection of 24th Street and Melrose Avenue is in and of itself
of historical significance.
From this hill one can view to the
west the site of an early horse race track and early basebal 1
diamond. The first airplane to land in Roanoke in 1917 set down on
an open field in front of this knoll. Along the northerly boundary
of the cemetery ran the Roanoke to Salem Electric Trolley. And all
of the surrounding area as far as the eye can see was once owned by
the McClanahans and the Lewises.
AGATHA STROTHER LEWIS
Agatha Strother Lewis was the granddaughter of General Andrew
Lewis who gained everlasting fame as the leader of Colonial Forces
in the Battle of Point Pleasant against the Indians in October
1774.
Prior to that he had been an Indian fighter along with
George Washington. Earlier historians claimed that the Indians had
been influenced by the British to commence what has been known as
"Lord Dunrnore 's War" in order to terrify and confound th e Colonists
before England began formal hostilities less than a year later at
Lexington and Concord.
In 1909 congress , in appropriating money for a commemorative
1!1on1;1111ent at Point Pleasant and based o.n research that strongly
indicated that Dunmore had betrayed Lewis to the Indians
called
Point Pleasant the "first battle of the American Revoluti~n."
The Lewis connection is strong in the Roanoke Valley.
The
Genera l is buried in Salem; Fort Lewis Mountain is named for him as
is Lewisburg, W.VA.; Andrew Lewis Middle School in Salem bears his
name; and he was a member of the House of Burgesses in Richmond
both before and during the Revolutionary War, as well as being head
of the Virginia Militia and subsequently military adviser to
Governor Jefferson.
It is not by chance that at the base of George Washington's
S~at~e.in Richmond Andrew Lewis is included as one of only five of
Virginia's most famous sons: Jeffer son, Marshal 1, Mason Nelson-and General Andrew Lewis. His military genius was fully ~ecognized
when George Washington, before his own appointment as Commander-in-

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�17

Chief of the Continental Forces, recommended that the appointment
be given to Lewis.
One of the sponsoring organizations of the subjec t project is
named for General Lewis ' mother, Margaret Lynn Lewis ( 1 693 - 1773).
This chapter was instrumental in the late 1800s i n l ocat ing the
remains of the General whose burial site h ad long been forgotten.
Quite ironically , in view of the Mcclanahan connection, t he exact
spot of the grave had been shown to one Frederick Johnston, many
years earlier by Col o nel Mcclanahan , who as a young boy had been
present at the General's burial. Johnston had paint ed t he initials
"A. L ." on a stone which l ed to the discovery of the s ite long after
Johnston's death .
On April 5, 1 897 i n t h e presen ce of the Margaret Lynn Lewis
Chapter of the DAR a service was conducted for t he reburial of
An drew Lewis in the East Hill Ceme t ery in Salem whe r e today a
handsome monument stands in his honor. An impressive monument to
his memory and accomplishments at Point Pleasant has also been
erected at the site of that battle .
Andrew Lewis married Elizabeth Givens in l 7 49 . They had seven
(7) children.
One of them , Andrew Jr. (1759 - 1844), married
Agatha Madison , t he dau ghter of John Madison in 1778.
Agatha
Madison, a direct b l ood relative of President James Madison, was
the mot her of Agatha St rothe r Lewis, who married Eli j ah Mcclanahan
on Sept ember 5, 1795 . so, a direct connect ion with a President of
tl_le United States--on e from Virginia n o less -- lies buried in
disgraceful surroundings atop that neglected hill.
COL. ELIJAH MCCLANAHAN
Elijah Mcclanahan was one of nine children, the son of William
Mcclan a h a n (1769-1 81 9) a nd Sarah Neeley. William was himself one
of eight children .
They , in turn, were the children of Robert
Mcclanahan (?
1 791 ) wh o married Sarah Breckenridge, another
famous family from West ern Virginia.
Elijah and Agath a h ad twelve children, ten daughters, nine of
whom married, each beari ng a number of children ranging from four
to nine . There are literally hun dreds of Mcclanahan heirs, though
very few have remained in the Roanoke area. Kyle Montague, now 87
and living in Napl es, Florida, is one direct descendant of Elijah
and Agatha who has been identified. He traces his ancestry through
Mar y Mcclanahan who married Ri ce Montague.
Through the Montague
line came Wally Simpson for whom a King of England gave up his
t h rone. So n ot onl y do we have a President, but a King, that has
credible association wi t h this jungle-like eyesore.
There are other famous citizens who proudly claim a
relationship to the Mcclanahan-Lewis progeny. M. Caldwell Butler,
a former U.S. Congressman from Roanoke as well as a Delegate to the

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�18

Virginia General Assembly, traces his ancestry thro.ugh Polly
Mcclanahan, a daughter of Robert Mcclanahan, who married Thomas
Poage.
One of their sons, William Poage, had a daughter who
married General James Walker of Wytheville, another fa mo u s Wes tern
Virginian.
Senator and former Governor Charles S. Robb is also connected
with the Mcclanahan-Lewis genealogy. His fifth great-grandfather
was Thomas Lewis who was the father of Agatha (Agnes) Lewis,
Senator Robb's four t h great- grandmother . Agatha's younger sister
was Margaret Ann Lewis wh o marr ied Captain John Mcclanahan, second
son of Robert McCLanahan, who died years before the death of Elijah
and Agatha. Margaret Ann Lewis is rumored to have been buried in
one of the unmarked and unlocated graves on the Mcclanahan Cemetery
Site. Also probably buried in the immediate area, though not yet
located, are Colonel James Mcclanahan, Elijah's brother,
and
William, one of Elijah's sons . The ast ronaut and first man to walk
in space was Edward N. White, II , a great, great, great, great,
great grandson of General Lewis.
Elijah Mcclanahan,
fol~_owing
in
his
father
William's
footsteps, and along with his brothers were outstanding leaders of
the early Roanoke Valley.
In 1806 at the age of 36 Elijah was
elected one of Salem ' s first six trustees, as councilmen were then
called. He served as a delegate in the State Legislature in 1808 1809 and in 1809 was elected Sheriff of Botetourt County.
In 1816
he was the material witness in a famous trial against two local
citizens who had challenged each other to a duel which had only
recently become illegal. That same year the records show that he
was one of the managers of the Upper Roanoke Navigation Company.
In 1831 he was a founder , charter member and elder of the Salem
Presbyterian Church.
He became one of the first justices of
Roanoke County in 1838--the year that the County was established- and also served as the first Sheriff of Roanoke County .
Later on
in 1852 he was one of only a few local leaders in bringing the
Virginia and Tennessee Railroad to the Roanoke Valley.
The
following
detailed description
of
Colonel
Elijah
Mcclanahan, as well as his brother, Colonel James Mcclanahan,
appears in the book on the McClanahans written in 1894:
"COLONELS ELIJAH AND JAMES MCCLANAHAN.

Colonel Elijah Mcclanahan was a man of noble
build in body, mind and spirit. In person, he
was tall and larqe, without being portly; his
countenance was impressive, blending kindness
and candor with qravity; his disposition was
cheerful and sociable; his probity beyond all
reproach; and the love and fear of God
qoverned his life.
His was a tower of
strength in the Presbyterian Church at Salem

as a ruling elder, and was the chief builder
of the church at Big Lick.
His name in the
church extended beyond his own Presbytery. It
was considered a privilege by strangers from a
distance to know him.
His brother, Colonel James Mcclanahan, was
very much like him. It would be difficult to
compare and impossible to contrast the.m. When
I went to Roanoke to live in June, 1860, their
names were on the lips of everybody.
They
were better and more favorably known, it
seemed to me , than any two men in the county.
A noble pair of brothers.
Long should their
memory be cherished and honored .ret_ their
descendants."
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE

To restore the area the followi ng needs to be done :
1.

archeological dig to locate other additional
grave sites both within the old brick-enclosed area
but outside of it as well within the original
quarter acre.

2.

Before the dig can be undertaken a man-made mound
of three to five feet in height needs to be
removed.

3.

The area needs to be attractively landscaped with
the restoration of the old brick enclosure, the
duplication of the original headstones and an
overlook depicting the historical sites and events
that once existed below the knoll as well as
genealogical charts.

4.

A new, s t epped-up pathway from the Old LynchburgSalem Turnpike to the site needs to be constructed.

5.

The restoration of the historical highway marker .

6.

Other incidental items of beautification .

An

As to the perpetual upkeep and maintenance after the site has
been properly restored, local neighborhood organizations , garden
clubs, clean-valley committees and ci vie groups have already
volunteered to undertake such assignment.

Calvin Weddle, 4404 Pennsylvania Ave ., NE,
VA 24019

Roanoke,

For years Prillaman family researchers have been searching for
the ma iden name of Jacob Prillaman, Sr.'s wif e Walpurga.
In a book
Pennsylvania Births, Philadelphia County 1644-1 76 5 , copyrighted
1994 , by John T. Humphrey, page 217, is a birth for Anna Walburga
HEIM, 24 Dec 1755, parents David and Maria Margaretha, records of
St. Mi c hael' s Lutheran Church in Germantown.
The Prillamans settled in Franklin Co VA. This Anna Walburga
Heim might be Jacob Prillaman's wife, Walpurga.
P. S. You may want to check the Prillaman b ook in the Virgina Room
(Roanoke Publ ic Library) to see if the dat es fit.
The Virginia
Room also has the book on Philadelphia Cou nty births.
Ed. Note:
The editor would like to hear from other Prillaman
reseache rs regarding the above. Do you agre e o r disag ree with Mr.
Weddle?
Send your response to: VAN Edito.c, c/o Southwestern

Henry Harrison EARLES was born in the 1840s in Floyd County, Virginia and died in
1928. His mother's name was Francis "Fanny" EARLES . He is described as being 5'5"
with light hair, fair complexion, and grey eyes.
ln January 1864, Henry enlisted in Company A, 24th Regiment of the Virginia
Infantry. In the spring of that year he was assigned guard duty in Tarboro, North
Carolina, then he returned to Virginia. On a damp, rainy May day, after three days
without food , he was shot with a muzzle loading rifle during the Battle of Drewry's Bluff
(near Richmond). The bullet entered through his stomach and exited near the spinal
co lumn. It was thought he wouldn't survive, but after several weeks in field hospitals, he
pulled through. Those that knew him say the wound didn't seem to bother him too much.
H e survived the ordeal with dignity and was proud to have served. On February 6. 1865
Henry was medically discharged from service. In later years, he was granted a milirary
pension from the state of Virginia and in 1908 he was a warded the Confederate Cross of
Honor by the Daughters of the Confederacy.

Fleming W . and Permelia O'BRIEN LESTER. Henry and Susan had eight children.
Su san died at the birth of their last child.
In September 189 1, six years after Susannah's death, Henry manied Rosetta Mildred
COLE (1863 -1 956), daughter of Bird, Sr. and Sarah IDDINGS COLE. They were
introduced by Capt. Peter SHEL TON. Both SHELTON and Bird COLE, Sr. served in
the C ivil War, but dates and regiment s are unlrnown. Henry and Rosetta had five children.
Henry Harrison E ARLES was active in the Fl oyd County community having served 30
years as Registar and 30 years as an Alum Ridge school trustee. He was also a successfol
bri ck mason having made the brick for the Old Floyd County Courthouse (now torn
down) and building several structures which are still in use . He also was a farmer and

LETTER TO RUTH G .

FL~LE

Dear Ruth:
I

found your three ceme t ery art i cles in the Augu st 1997 issue of
Vi rginia App alachian Notes 11 very interest i ng .
You are to be
commended for your effort s t o d ocument the history of Crai g County .
'

The article on the Huffman Cemetery at Captain , Craig County did
n ot include information o n two of the community's prominent
ci t izens.
Capt . Guy Dingus Huffman, commander of Company K, 46th
Virginia Infan try Reg i ment , CSA , and his wife Sarah Jane Hutchison,
daughter of Col. Robert Mason Hutchison and Mary Elizabeth Tawney
wh o was the daughter of Daniel Tawney and Elizabeth Price .
I don't know if the stones are sti l l there or not. They were near
the center of the cemetery . A large part o f the old sassafras tree
fell several years ago. Pos sibl y it damaged the stones . I copied
the stones quite a few years ago.
They read:
SARAH JANE HUFFMAN
BORN APRIL 1 6 , 1827
DIED SEPTEMBER 21, 1914
DAUGHTER OF COL. ROBERT M. HUTCHIS ON
AND MARY E . TONEY
CAPT. GUY D. HUFFMAN
CO K 46 VA INF REGT CSA
BORN NOVEMBER 27, 18 2 9
DIED JANUARY 19, 191 0

Over the years I have noticed quite a bit of conf u sio n concerni ng
the names of the Huffman cemeteries (Huffman Cemetery at the ~erm an
Huffman place and the Huffman Cemetery at t he o ld Wal te r Mills
place) , the Hutchison Cemetery and the Hardwic k Ceme tery .
The
Huffman Cemetery at Captain is really the Capt . Guy Hu ffman Family
Cemetery. Some think it is the Hutchison Cemete ry becaus e it i s at
the old Col. Robert M. Hutchison place. the Hut c hi s on Cemetery i s
on the old Hardwick place which causes it to be ca l led the Hardwick
Ce rne t ery .
Jane Wal lace the wife of Robe r t Hutchi s on, Sr . was
probably the first burial in t he cemei:ery a oout 1815 .
Elinor
Eakin, the first wife of Col . Robe r t Hut c hi son was probably che
second burial. Robert Hutchison, Sr . was buried there about 1 825.
The cemetery located at the Herman Huffman plac e is the Huffman
Cemetery.
I failed to mention that Capt a in got it's name f rom
Capt . Guy becau se there was a post office there e arl y i n the 1900's
with that name.
Sincerely,
Kenneth E. Mills

INTRODUCTION OF CHARLES THOMP.S BURTON TO THE S OC IET!

Some of you have not had an oppo rtuni ty before today of meeting: or getting to know our
guest-of-honor. I' ve had the pleasure of knowing him for twenty-nine years. so I was hono red to be
asked to say a few words about the man and hi s work.
C harles Thomas Burton lived a fairly nonnal life until the 1950s. He had a fam ily. and he was
working as a mechanic for the Wright Motor Company in Roanoke. when he devel oped tubercu losis.
Because of his illness, he was unable to work fo r several years. It was du r ing this time that he
discovered the genealogical and histori cal collection in the alcove under the stairs of the Roa nok e
Public Library, which was in the former Terry home on the hill in Elmwood Park. It was at this time,
too, that he was struck with another di sease - a powerful disease - sometimes referred to as the
Genealogy Bug. and he began researching his own fam ily.
After recovering from tuberculosis. :Vlr. Burton did agricultural survey work in Boteroun
Cou nty. This work provided him with fi rst-hand knowledge of the properties. the streams. the
fam ilies and the cemeteries of the county.
E vcntually he \.VOuld begin researching for o thers - those who \1,anted to Join patnoc.ic
societies. as well as those across the country whose roots were in Botetourt County

As a genealogical researcher: Mr. Burton became familiar with the vast wealth of reco rds in
the Botetourt County courthouse and other area courthouses. He also became a ··regular·· in the
Roanoke Public Librarj's Virginia Room. His familiarity wi th the family names, the land, and the
court records available made him a " natural" in the role of researcher.
His personal collection of notes on the families and properties grew as a result of the research
done for his clients. He compiled family group sheets o n individual famil ies as he researched lhem.
realizing that they would be useful for future inquiries he might receive. He kept meticul ou s reco rd s
on his research in files and on card indexes. He had made scrapbooks of hundreds of historical
a111des from the newspapers - some \.vritten by Goodridge Wilson and by Raymond Barnes - and he
indexed them
:VJr Burton began compiling records he found into books, perhaps to make hi s own wo rk
easier so that he could have the information on hand instead of rechecking the microfilmed censuses
or the court records he used so often. He realized o thers cou ld benefit from these compilatio ns as
much as he did. and he began printing and selling some o f his work on the censuses. tax and tithe lists.
land records and court entries, to name a tew ln co llaberation vvith Mrs. Vicic Fowler, he compiled
the marriage records of Botetourt County from 1770-18 19 .
The Roanoke Public Library was surprised and excited to learn that we were to become the
repository for Mr. Burton's outstanding collection of genealogical and historicaJ research . tvlr.
Burton, we pledge to preserve and protect your work while still making it available to those who
would benefit from using it Your collection has been transfered to archivaJ quality folders and boxes.
which are being housed in our climate-controlled Special Collections room to insure a long li fe. An
index to the collection is being: compiled to make the general contents known to the researchers.

l ' m so glad we could have this reception today in honor of Mr. Burton. He has earned welldeserved respect and recognition from people all across the country. from those who have known him
personally or through correspondence, to those who know him only by the work he has done. We
who have been bitten by the Genealogy Bug can be grateful for people like Charles T. Burton for his
dedication and his interest in the pursuit of this region's history.
And now I'd like to add a personal note: When the Roanoke Public Library hired me in 1969.
I was truly GREEN. I was just out of college and had no previous experience in genealogical
research. But [ had some things in my favor - I was raised with strong work ethics~ l had a keen
interest in my own family's history; I've always enjoyed working jigsaw puzzles. which is just like
genealogical research. And the greatest thing in my favor was a good-natured, regular patron who
came to the Virgi nia Room nearly every day. He must have sensed my helplessness, as well as my
willingness to learn, because he never failed to answer my questions, no matter how stupid they were.
He was never too busy to show me what he was doing, why he was using certain records, and what
he hoped to get from them. When he spoke to o thers, I listened, because I knew I'd learn something.
:Vlr. Burton was my teacher!
Mr. Burton. l have so much to thank you fo r, but I would especially like to say thank you for
your g uidance. for your patience. and for your encouragement. You are a very special person!

The above introduction was made by Al ice Carol Tuckwiller.
After Carol spoke, Babe Fowler also sa id a few words about some of
the special aspects of her 30 year friendship with Mr. Burton. He
had pointed out to her that in her research she had a father who
was five y ears old when the son was born; that there we re three men
who had been combined into o ne man because they had the same name;
and that s he and Mr. Burton both had the McClure family in cheir
background, but that he would not cla im Babe as k i n. Duri ng che 30
years of their friendship, they have discussed everything under che
sun.
Rev. Nelson Harris, Roanoke Ci ty Counci l man, presented Mr . Burcon
wit h an engraved paperweight to show Roanoke's appreciacion of the
contribut i on made by Mr. Burton .
Mr . Burton himself delighted t he audience with an anecdote of his
c hildhood in which he was sent to the store by h is mother when he
was four years old to ge t a bar of soap . Because of hi s tendency
to forget, by the time he got to the store he had f orgotten what he
was to get and had to go home without it.
The second time his
mother sent him, he repeated "bar of s oap" over and over until he
go t to the store and was able to make the purchas e for her. Later
in life , when he had learned to write, he solved his problem of
forgetfulness by writi ng down everything--a good lesson for all of
us .

TWO APOLOGIES
My first apology goes to Bi llie Redding Lewis who submitted the
a rt icle 11 A Re nfro/Rent fro Timeline 11 published in the May issue for
may failure to give proper credi t to her.
I do appreciat e Ms.
Lewis' work and will continue to publish her articles.
The second apology goes to all readers of the VAN. Emergency roo f
repairs in my home (the only access to the roof is through the

SOUTHWESTERN VIRGINIA GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY,

INC

August 1997
Dear Fellow Genealogists:
This past Fourth of July the Roanoke Times featured an ar ticl e
about the Virginia Room and the librarians who make it a very fine
research facility.
This society was also recognized for the
donations it has made.
A Volunteer program to assist the librarians has been developed,
with several of our members presently serving.
If you would like
to help in this endeavor, contact Carol Tucl&lt;willer or Brenda
Finley.
Help is needed for assisting patrons and for special
projects .
The executive board is considering a number of proj ects to be
undertaken . When a decision is made, the board will need help in
accomplishing the goal.
There will be more informacion and
discussion on this in the fall .
The relaxed atmosphere of summer may be a good cime to discover how
we would prefer to contribute our talents for improving SVGS.
Suggestions and helping hands are welcome and encouraged.
Sincerely yours,
Gene Swartzell,
President

ROBERT AND VIALETA LINUS H:~~
Early Franklin County Secclers
Submicced by:

Jane Bernard Williams (Mrs . Jon~ . ) , 95 Myscic Lane ,
Social Circle, GA 30279-5145*

Robert and Viale ta Linus P.il 1 were my ggggg - grandparents.
Their daughter, Ruth Hill, married Walter 2ernard, who was my
Revolutionary War grandfather .
I have been re s earc hing the Hill-Bernard-McNeil families of
Franklin County , Virgi nia for approximately lO years and really do
not like to have my s te ri es develop in my research .
Ic also does
not help to live i n Social Circle , Georgia , and have everything
you are working on i n F r a nkl i n County, Virginia . Or so we thought.
Having already entered Daughters of the American Revolution
with Walter Bernard as my Patriot , I really wanted to become part
of the local Colonial Dames chapter. This meant that I must prove
an acestor who was here in the 17th Century (1600's) . This bacame
an obsession!
Having no luck in Franklin county with Robert Hill or Walter
Bernard, we approached my son's history professor at Erskine
College, Due Wesc, SC, who suggesc ed that we take the Bernard name
north into Pennsylvania and Maryland.
This earch st.ill has not
located the Bernard family in question, but did connect us with the
Hills .
Robert Hill and Vialeta Linus were married on 9th month 12
1741 at the New Garden Quaker Meeting house in Chester County,
Pennsylvania . :
It was a requirement of the Quaker Meetings at this time that
the bride and the groom state the ir intent to the monthly meeting
and then a committee was appointed to interview each party
regarding the request for marriage. This was done and is recorded
in the Monthly Mee ti ng Mi n ut es for New Garden Meeti n g .
7th month
26 , 1741 was when they fi rst asked for permission to marry . Their
second intentions were r equested on 8th month 31 17 4 1 and they were
given the liberty to ma rry .
By 9th month 28 1741 it was reported
in the monthly meeting minutes for New Garden Mee t ing House that
they were married . 2
The only other reference to Robert Hill came on llth month 30
1747/48 when the meeting learned he was in legal trouble with his
credicors. For this he was disowned from the Society of Friends on
lsc monch 26 1748.
The latter reference was very poorly
microfilmed and it was hard to read. 3

* Mrs.

Williams is a native of Franklin County, Virginia, and
recently won one of the 1996 Essay catagories in the United
Daughters of the Confe deracy Historian General's Es say Contest .
She wrote about Linus Hill Bernard , her g-grandfather and how the
Union Invasion affected her family.
The current fa mily project :
locate the Williams connecti ons in Montgomery and Charlotte
Counties in Virginia

There is no clear information on who were the parents of
R?bert Hill.
Parents of the bride and groom always sign in the
righc hand corne r of the marriage certificate under the name of the
bride and groom at a Quaker marriage ceremony. In this case no one
signect in that position.
However, Ann Hill did sign the
certificate with other friends who attended.~ She was the wife of
Samuel Hill, and they were received at New Garden on 8th month 25,
1735 from a meeting in Limerick, Ireland; Ann appearing be fore the
Women ' s Meeting, Samuel before the Monthly meeting. 5
It is
possible these were Robert's parents. Ann later asked the Monthly
Meecing to grant her and her children (not named) permission to
move to a Monthly Meeting on the "Frontier" .a
Robert and Vialete do not appear in the New Garden Monthly
Minutes again after he is disowned. Perhaps they have already left
the area or that this is when they began the journey to Virginia.
This would fit into the time frame in the area that became Franklin
County.
Maps which show the travel routes into areas of Virginia
would indicate that perhaps they travelled the Pennsylvania Wagon
Road into what is now Franklin County, Virginia.
The marriage certificate shows that Vialeta Linus lived in the
county of Chester in" ye Province of Pensilvenia 11 and that she was
the daughter of Thomas Linus of 11 Newprovidence in ye County of
Ph ilada. &amp; rpovince aforesd . 117
Several ref erences to Thomas Linus were found at the West
Chester Historical Society in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
Item
#4399 in the computer system r.:here showed a list of returned
letcers to the Post Office in Philadelphia.
The list is dated
January 15,
1741 and shows that a l ecter was returned to
Philadelphia for a "Linus" at New Garden.
Of course, the letter
has long-been destroyed, but William Penn did keep good records.
Reference was also made to a notice published in the
Pensylvania Gazette dated June 12, 1746, WHEREAS Jane, the Wife of
Thomas Linus, of New Providence Township, in Philadelphia County,
hath lately made frequent Practices of eloping from her said
Husband, and running him in Debt; these are cherefore co forwarn
al l Persons trusting her on his Account, for he will pay no Debts
by her contracted, after the Date hereof. Thomas Linus . 8
This information is submitted in hopes that other familv
connections will become incerested in completing the "rest of the
story."
My husband and I have made two trips to Chester County,
Pennsylvania.
We have walked on the grounds of the New Garden
Meeting House, founded in 1714, at New Garden, and also at London
Grove Meeting House , Chester County. These meeting houses remain
in much th e same style as when Robert and Vialeta Linus Hill walked
on their grounds.

DOCUMENTATION

The dreaded "D' 1 word keeps many good genealogists from submitting their work to
publications. It keeps many good writers from publishing their work. However,
documentation is not intended to make your research more difficult, it is intended to
make it easier. It is intended to make it easier for you to let your renders know where you
found your information. Unless you let them know, they think you made it up. Well,
that is not exactly true. Some people will think you fabricated the whole thing , others
will think you are being stingy and others will think you don' t really know what you're
doing.
We want you to submit your original research to the VAN for pub li cation. However, we
do want your work to be properly documented. By " properly" we simply mean we want
you to let us know where you found your information.
Do you remember the thrill you felt the first time you located a missing ancestor or found
one that shares your full name that you did not know existed? When you share your
sources with others, they can feel the same thrill, perhaps by finding someo ne in the same
source that did not apply to your branch of the family and which you, therefore, did not
list in your research.
Below are some guidelines that the VAN w ill be usLng to determine if proper
documentation has been used in articles submitted for publication.
The most important aspect of documentation is that the following information be given:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

The title of the source
The author of the source (if applicable)
The publisher of the source
The date of publication, edition number if applicable
Where you found the source

This can be done in any one of several methods.
I. Any of the style manuals can be used
2. A reference list at the end of the article which is referred to in the body of the
work using a number followed by a page number
3. A narrative style in which you simply make reference to the source within the
body of the work (This method works best on short pieces with few references)
If yo u have kept good notes for yourself so that you know where yo u found information,
then yo u should huve no problem documenting your work. Even if you did not write
down a ll the information, you should be able to go back to the source to complete it.

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Beware of family traditions. If you have a piece of information that you have k.novvn all 9 9
your life, bllt you don't know exactly where the information came from originally, it is
"family tradition." That does not mean that it isn't true or that vou can't use that
information in your article. It simply means that you must lai.Jel it as family tradition
unless you have done the research to substantiate your family tradition, in which case you
show the sources that proved the family tradition to be correct. In another situation, you
can remember when you were a very young child your Great-uncle George telling you the
story of three brothers with your last name who came from Europe during the 18th
Century to settle in America and that two of them became heads of famous families, but
you are descended from the third brother who disappeared ~ithout a trace ... etc. \Vhen
you put this information in your article, you must state that George told you the story.
This does two things; it info1111s us that the story is "family tradition" and it let's you off
the hook as saying that it is completely true until such time as you can prove it.
One more caveat is the notion that "if three sources say it is so, then it is considered
' common knowledoe'
and does not need to be documented." !vfanv
times in the world of
0
genealogy, an article references a published family history then goes on to elaborate on
what has already been published. The family history and the article DO NOT
CONSTITUTE TWO SOURCES. Remember, when you cite a published work, you
should check the documentation of that work to make sure you are not citing two
references to the same source as two different sources.
Reme mber, we at the VAN do want you to submit your articles of original research, we
do want to know what you are doing on your own family history. Just remember that
when you make a statement, you should also answer the question: ''How do you know
that?"

The Morristown Gazette
February 9, 1898
"Hannah Family Reunion"
Birthday of Mr. and Mrs. George Hannah
Also their marriage anniversary and the ninetieth birthday of Mrs. Elizabeth Hannah
January 25. 1898

An intensely interesting event was enjoyed at the old homestead of the
DeVaults, at Austin's Springs, Washington county, Tenn., Jan . 25, 1898. The ninetieth
birthday of Mrs. Elizabeth Hannah (more familiarly known as "Grandma Hannah") was
the occasion of a large assemblage of her friends and relatives . and all the living
children were present--and her children's children unto the third and fourth generation
were there.
As Mrs. Hannah and h~r family are all well known by many, an account of this
event will not be uninteresting.
Mrs. Elizabeth Stover was married to Mr. George Hannah on their birthday, Jan.
25, 1826, at the stone residence of her parents in Roanoke county, the garden spot of
Virginia. Her father's farm is now the site of Roanoke City. Hr. Hannah was a citizen of
the same county.
When their family had multiplied to the Scriptural number, seven , they
concluded to emigrate to East Tennessee (which was then a new country) where their
children would have better opportunities.
In December, 1841 , they commenced their journey in wagons, hacks, etc., etc.
It was before the days of railroads. They crossed the Blue Ridge Mountain, following
what is now the valley route of the railroad, until they came to Watauga River. They
found this beautiful stream past fording from recent rains. They pitched their ter its and
went into camp on her bank until they could cross and make their way on down to the
rich valleys below.
Mr. Valentine Devault, Sr., the landlord of the bank on which they were
camping, came down to see who the movers were. The acquaintance proved to be
agreeable on both sides, so much that Mr. Devault invited Mr. Hannah to take his
family to the house and be entertained there--which hospitality was accepted . A
mutual friendship sprang up, the ties of which have grown stronger through all the
intervening years since, and which was the foundation for the ninetieth birthday
celebration of the only living head of these two families. Mr. Devault persuaded Mr.
Hannah to occupy a house on his land, a mile up the river, until he would have time to
seek a satisfactory location. There were two houses in the same yard ; one was empty,
and one stored with grains, fruits and vegetables. Mr . Hannah moved his family into
the empty one. Mr. Devault told Mr. and Mrs. Hannah to use all they needed of the
stores there, and that it was unnecessary to keep any accounts.
Mrs. Hannah was an expert with her needle and, as it was before the days of
sewing machines, it was a valuable accomplishment. With much nice neat work she
tried to return the many favors received. The two eldest children were girls, Mary
Elizabeth and Edna. They were experts, for their age, being only fourteen and eleven
years, with knitting needles, which was also a valuable accomplishment in those days.

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Hose and gloves grew like magic, and were given by Mrs. Hannah to Mrs. OeVaLJ!.tcf§&gt;r
herself and family.
Mr. Hannah bought a farm of 300 acres one mile south of what is now Bluff City,
seven miles from Mr. DeVault's. In two years Mr. and Mrs. Devault sickened and died
within two days of each other, leaving their lands to their three young sons, Isaac,
Jacob and Valentine, who were at that time in their young manhood. A large brick
house was in course of erection. It was finished by them . The contractor, Mr. Jordan,
was a courtly young man for whom they formed a high regard. Soon after the house
was finished Mr. Jordan married . They gave him a grand reception , to which the
Misses Hannah were invited, who had grown to be beautiful , winsome young ladies.
Mary Elizabeth was a blonde, small , with bright intellect and modest deportment.
Edna was a brunette, tall, amiable and modest. They made their debut at this
reception . Isaac, Jacob and Valentine were in the full development of young
manhood--were well-proportioned, erect--six feet high and over--handsome , gallant
and courtly, and were considered the best opportunities for husbands in all the
country. Cupid put in his arrows on that "infair" occasion and from that time the gallant
Isaac went wooing the fair Mary Elizabeth. Her parents were highly elated. After a few
months he asked for her hand in marriage . Their consent and blessings were
graciously given.
Then came a wedding and reception at the old homestead. They went to
housekeeping in the house she had occupied w ith her father at first, until a new
palatial brick residence on the same ground was built. Jacob married th e
accomplished Miss Elizabeth Clark, of Nolachucky. They located immediately across
the river, and built one of the pretties houses in the county.
The union of Isaac and Mary Elizabeth threw Edna and Valentine much
together. Soon it was known. Cupid has successfully used his arrows again. After a
time Edna 's hand was asked by the greatly favored Valentine--again , as the first
couple, with the hearty consent of the parents. Again nuptial ties were celebrated; and
the kind Edna, with dark brown eyes and hair as black as a raven 's wing, became the
mistress of the grand old homestead, where Mrs. Hannah has made her home in these
later years. Had all men been like Valentine and all women like "Grandma Hannah"
there never would have been the sarcasm written about mothers-in-law that has been.
Twelve children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hannah, first three girls, then three
boy; then three girls, and three boys: Mary E. , Edna, Sarah J ., John W., E. Mark,
James S., Lucy C., N. Francis, Charlotte So., George M., Andrew J. and Farel Bratcher.
Two--Sarah J . and James S.-- died in their childhood. Mary E. died, leaving a family of
five children; N. Fanny, who married Dr. James Stewart, died ; leaving a family of three
children. The eight living were present at the reception : Mrs. Edna Devault, John W .,
of Tusculum , Mark, of Austin 's Springs, Mrs. Lucy C. Jarnagin, of Morristown , Mrs.
Charlotte McFerrin, of Bristol, George M., of Austin 's Sp'gs, Dr. Andrew J . and Dr. F.B.
of Umatilla , Fla. The two youngest, A.J. and F.B., are the Joseph and Benjamin in the
old lady's affection. They brought tropical fruits and vegetables with them from Florida,
which added much luxury to the already luxuriantly prepared di nner.

THOMAS PLEASANTS JORDAN cl745-1809
Links 'I'o His Quaker Heritage
By Mary Elizabeth Ferrell
Thomas Pleasants Jordan, the father of my ancestor Decorah Jordan Thomas,
was torn about 1745 probably in Henrico COW1ty Virginia. In the search for
his origins it seemed apparent at the onset that his might be a Quaker
lineage. But no evidence emerged from the Society of Friends compiled
records that this Thomas Jordan was the 'Thomas Jordan who was the son of
P.enj amin Jordan . Wr itings on other 'Thomas Jordans tenrieri to "muddy the
waters" . Several writings made suppositions and attempted to link: this
Thomas to various Jordan l ines but failed to provide the evidence . Thus,
this was a family line that I had placed on the back burner until a inquiry
was received from a distant cousin ' s wife in Floyd, Virginia . That inquiry
started me on a determined search.
Badcg:t0tmd

and Clues

The rule of thumb in genealogical research - ''the best clues to a person ' s
origins and birth family exist in the earliest proven place of residence ''
became the first step in the strategy of this search. The collection of
data was first centered on the reconstruct ion of the family of Thomas P .
Jordan to try to establish those links before beginning to try to find the
evidence to link him to the Quaker Benjamin Jordan, Jr . 'T'he reconstruction
of the family was paramount in the strategy.
Robert Barnard Jr., a descendant , also of Deborah Jordan 'Ihcmas (Charles
Thomas Jr.) had written to me, sent me material on the Quaker Jordans .
I had collected other material, too, which includen a book entitled
These Jordans Were Here . I discovered this lx&gt;ok in the Virgi nia Room of
the Roanoke Library on a vi sit there. This writing was one that provided
good information about the Jordan family. However, the supposition was
made that placed Thomas P. Jordan, son of Benjamin, Jr., in another
Jordan fami 1y. No clear evidence was given and this supposition
subsequently proved to be incorrect.
A letter from o. E. Pilson had brought another clue. 1his was a somewhat
hidden clue that I had not realized was a clue until I began to review
all the material I had gat hered . His letter had the informati on that
Thomas Jordan had migrated into the Blueridge Mountain area after the
Revolutionary War from "near Richmond".
answer to a query placed in The Genealogical Helper hrought material
from Marilyn OWen in ca1ifornia. Her husband , also, has a Jordan line
and she had collected much material frcm research in North Carolina
which she sent to me.
An

One of the nost important clues came from Juoy Blackwell, whose husband is
the descendant of Deborah Jordan Thomas. She wrote to ask if I thought the
Thomas P. Jordan who sold land in Montgomery Count:y in 1798/1.799 was the
father of Deborah Jordan. ?ubsequently, she made a trip to the courthouse
in Montgomery County and obtained a copy of the deed. An~ this, along with
other deeds , verified that this 'Thomas P. Jordan, who had migrated from the
Franklin, Patrick Counties area to Buncombe County North Carolina was the
father of Deborah Jordan Thomas and Mary Jordan Dehart of Patrick County.
VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

All this infonnation, from various family history r esearche rs, greatly
assisted in giving clues as to places to search for Thomas P. Jordan prior
to and preceding the Revolutionary War. As I began to reconstruct the
family of Thomas P . Jordan other clues erner ge&lt;i and the pieces of the
puzzle began to fall into place .
'Ibe Evidence and Links to Benjamin Jordan, Jr.

The 1787 persona l property tax lists and index of Virginia , compiled by
Netti Yantis and Florence Love , provi ded t he needed ass i stance in the next
step in the search. 'There were a dozen Thomas Jordans listed . 'T'he "near
Richmond" infonnation given by o . E. Pilson helped to narrow the location
of which Thomas to choose! I don ' t know if it was sheer luck or serendipity
that made me choose Hanover County - a "burned county"!
In spite of it being a burned county, I found the land t ax, personal
property tax and de eds to provide the needed evi dence. Three important
pieces of evidence linked 'Thomas to Benjamin Jordan, Jr . his father. One
was the names of the slaves given to him by his fathe r's will in Henrico
County and listed by name for him on the personal property tax. 'T'he second
piece of evidence was the name of the land, "Ginger Bread ", the description,
and the location listed in his father's will and in deeds. This was the land
Thomas and wife susannah sold in 1787 before leaving Hanover County . The
third piece of evi dence was the name of his wife SUsannah . Their marriage
was in the Society of Friends compiled recor ds . Her narre was in near ly
every land transaction that Thomas made.

Extension of the Line
More rece nt research has further e&gt;..'"tended the line. The parents or 'Thomas
Pleasants Jordan were Benjamin and Lyn i a Pleasants Jordan. One of the more
useful tools for thi s information has 1::een William Wade Hinshaw's Encyclopedia
of American Quaker Genealogy, the Vi r ginia Volume. Goochland County Virginia
deeds have given further evidence and information of Lydia Pleasant Jordan•s
pare nts - Thomas and Mary Jordan Pl easants.
Benjamin Jordan ' s father was Benjamin Jordan, Sr. He was an elder in the
Society of Friends. Hinshaw has been an useful tool for information
about him. It proved to be a little m:&gt;re complicated finding information
on Benj a.min Jordan Jr. ' s mother, Sarah . A query in 'T'he Vi r ginia Magazine
of Genealogy brought to me Sarah's maiden name of Robinson. This information ,
however, was without evidence. A Jordan researcher in Georgia sent to me
some pages from a genealogy tha t gave Sarah as the step daughter or Joseph
Glaister.
A review of the Quaker literature provided me with the information that
Joseph Glaister was a Quaker missionary who migratecl to American from
England around 1707. He had settleCT in North Carolina. So it was bac~
to Hinshaw's writings, this time the North Carolina volume. I lmew that
Sarah had married Benjamin Jordan Sr. about 1708. 'The North Carolina
volUitE gave IrE further information on Joseph Glasiter and the location
of his rronthly meetings in England.
Thi s information sent IrE to the Quaker Records of Englano, available on
microf ilm fran the Salt take Family History Center Library. And luckily

vital recor ds for the location I wanted had teen rnicrofillned. I founrl
Sarah Robinson ' s birth date, the names of her parents, and the second
marriage of her mother in those listings. She was, indee~, Sarah
Robinson, daughter of John and' Sarah Rohinson of Par oshaw , Cumberland
England .
OJnclnsion

Linking Thomas Pleasants Jordan to his Quaker parents and heritage
entailed researching much more than the published literature . It
involved some complicated plans and work in many different kinds of
records . This was in part because Thomas Pleasants Jordan left the
Society of Friends in 1775 , during the Revolutionary War . The wonderful
clues and assistance I received, though, from other ~amily history
researchers, cousins and their spouses made it much li::ss work and a lot
more enjoyable .

listed in Knox County, Tennessee is Stephen Renfro Sr,who
died intestate, but this has to be Stephen Jr . who had a son
named Stephen by that time. His estate was intestate because
he had been killed by Indians. His sons were John (probably
named for John Looney), David, William (both popular Looney
names) and Stephen to whom he left 300 acres on Beaver Creek.

The Renfro researchers theorize that old Stephen Sr ' s f irst

(Rhea) Looney, widow of Robert Looney Jr . who also had been
killed by Indians. The Renfro family certai nl y had a lot of

did the Renfros.

The
COX-PHILLIPS
NEWSLETTER
is
published
each
quarter
(irregular ... four issues per volume/year at $12.00 per year USA
and $14.00 foreign) and being used by researchers (not just Cox
and Phillips) from all over.
It started from the Cox and
Phillips settlers in Virginia from the early 1600's .... the Cox
line descends from William Cox of England, who arrived at
Chesapeak Bay on 6 May 16 07 .
He returned to England and
supposedly brought his family back to Virginia in 1610. William
gave his age as 26 in 1610, and supposedly was the son of
Michael Cox of England .
My Matthew Cox (born 1730, VA) is a
descendant o f this line, who first settled in Montgomery (now
Floyd) Co, VA, and later moved to Wilkes (now Caldwell) Co, NC .
My Phillips line descends from John Phillips, born 1653, Wales,
England and Elizabeth Tobias.
John died 1701 in Richmond Co .,
VA, was supposedly the son of John Phillips and Sarah (unknown)
Phillips.

MRS. REBECCA WILSON
An accident of the most serious nature occurred, about a mile from this
place , on Saturday last, which has filled our little village with sympathetic
feelings of sorrow and regret . As Mrs Rebecca Wilson. consort of the late
Alexander Wilson, formerly a representative of this district, with her brother, (Mr Simon Gillispie, from Kentucky) were passing from this place, on a
visit to some friends, near Pattonsburg, in a Carry All, drawn it appears by
a very sprightly horse ; a dog rushed from an enclosure belong ing to a Mr .
Ingleheart, which affrighted the animal in such a manner, as to cause him to
run off, his speed was such as to render all efforts to stop him fruitless;
Mr Gillispie in order to save himself, sprung from the Carry-All, by which
he received several severe bruises, the horse still passing on-- the lady,
was at lenth precipitated, and so dreadfully hurt, that serious doubts were
entertained by the physicians of this place of her recovery.
A few rods
from the place the horse was found with his neck broke.

�GENEALOGICAL QUERIES: Each member is entitled to one (1) to three (3) free §Q
word query (does not include your name and address) per issue as space permits. The typist will
not compose queries for you, so please make your query as clear and specific as possible so that
others can understand them and have a chance to help you. Each query should include name,
dates, and location to identify the problem. Please CAPITALIZE surnames - is it Mary Smith
JONES (single) or Mary SMITH JONES (maiden &amp; married name). Do not abbreviate, we will. If
not typed, please PRINT- some written queries we have not been able to read. Queries for nonmembers are Sc (cents) per word not including your name and address. Queries must be
received prior to the 1st of the month preceding publication.

FAMILY REUNION, PUBLICATION OF BOOK, NEWSLETTERS, ETC.:
Limited to 60 words, not including your name and address. We cannot edit a full page down to 60
words - so send the notice as you want it printed. These notices will be put in as space permits.
Members will be given priority in publishing these notices.

MATERIAL FOR PUBLICATION: We welcome articles, records, etc. for publications.
The material when received may not be used in following issue, but in a future issue. If a large
amount of m aterial is sent, it may take a while to publish because we try to have a variety of
material in each issue. (1) READY FOR PUBLICATION (which the editor loves). Please type
using a carbon ribbon or dark ribbon and CLEAN KEYS. Use 8 1/2" x 11 " paper, single space, with
a minimum margin on ALL sides of 1 inch. Center your title. Be sure to include your name,
address, and date (year) on the document. If not typed for publication, please PRINT PLAINLYsome articles th at have been hand written we have not been able to read, or those that are typed
with all caps are d ifficult to read . PLEASE read material over before mailing and double check all
dates. (2) GIVE SOURCE OF MATERIAL. Original documents - where found, type of record,
page number, etc., or, if known , who now has the document in their possession. We CANNOT
PRINT material from printed sources unless we have written permission from the publisher, which
you MUST FURNISH . We must have source of material to give credit to the person who has done
the work. (3) DEADLINE for submitting material should be at least two months before date of
publication . (4) PLEASE do not send material that you want returned - send a photocopy to us
instead . That way it won't get lost, as letters do get misplaced, when passed from one person to
another.

SURNAME INDEX: Information will include name (given and surname), place
(location at time of date), Date (birth, death, marriage, or where living at the date
given) . "WASKEY, William Christopher - Montgomery Co, VA - 1900-10 death" If this
data takes more than one line or the spouse is included on the same line, it will
count as two names. The limit is 1O names. The surname index is published in the
August issue.

VAN cannot vouch for the accuracy of the material submitted to us and
printed by us. The 'translation' of the original
document may not be correct - get a copy of the
original document, if possible, to see if you
agree with the printed version.

NOTE:
If you compare this issue with May or August of 1996, you
may note that the Volume Number is the same.
However, 1995 was
Volume 19; 1996 should have been Volume 20 and the February and
November issues reflected this . Somehow in May and August a finger
hit the wrong number and they show Volume 21, which is 1997's
volume number. We apologize any confusion or inconvenience we may
have caused . -Ed.
ANOTHER NOTE:
We still need articles from our readers. See page
Just
13 of this issue for suggestions on things to write about.
remember to give us permission to publish it and document your
work, i.e. tell us where you got your information .

SOUTHWESTERN VIRGINIA GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY,

INC .

January 1997

Dear Fellow Genealogists:
Let us close 1996 with a heartfelt Thank You to those who have
served our society for the past term.
It is a pleasure to
work with such a dedicated and congenial group.
1997 begins with some new officers, but I wonder if you have
noticed other changes.
Babe Fowler has retired after over 20
years as editor of the VAN, and Ann Sylvest has assumed that
job.
Babe, as always, will be available to help when needed.
Our first venture of the year is to help WBRA-TV, our local
PBS station, with a mailing in conjunction with the Ancestors
series they began broadcasting on January 11, 1997.
Viewers
interested in more information on beginning research will send
a $2.50 check to cover postage and handling to us and we shall
mail the brochures supplied by WBRA-TV.
The station plans on
producing a series of three programs to foll ow the national
program.
We have representation on the group developing the
direction and content.
We are always looking for ways to better serve members
will appreciate articles about the area we cover .
Have
considered transcribing a public record for publication?

and
you

Distant members are encouraged to plan a visit to the Virgina
Room for research and to attend a meeting.
Librarians Carol
Tu twiler and Brenda Finley are most helpful and constantly
wo rking to improve the very fine Virginia Room .
Gene Swartzell,
President

INTERESTING KINFOLK : J . D. HALE
COWBOY, CATTLEMAN AND POLITICAL LEADER
I'm convinced Grayson County has its share of notable and
distinguished ancestors; and I have "uncovered" a few. One of
the more interesting is John Dickinson "Jack" Hale/Hail.
Jack Hale was born 22 October 1847 5 , the son of Warner
Hale and Mary Cox of Oldtown, Grayson County, VA.
Jack ' s
6 7 8
brothers and sister were: • • F. J . (Fielding/Frielden) b. ca.

Jack Hale left Grayson County in 1867 at abou~ ~ge 20 and
headed West as did a lot of our ancestors. 1 The Civil War had
just ended; the South faced hard economic times; and the
Homestead Act passed in 1 862 provided "land for the taking."
The West beckoned to the adventurous, the energetic, the
visionaries.
In 1867, Jack Hale arrived in Omaha, Nebraska, where he
lived with a distant relative, Alf . D. Jones, the first
Postmaster of Omaha, and attended night school. He moved to
Cheyenne, Wyoming, where he worked for the McGrath Forwarding
Commission Company . In 1868 he moved to Montana where he was
a miner for a £ew months. Then to Salt Lake City for a short
stay where he was personally acquainted with Brigham Young;
and then back to Battle Creek, Nebraska, where he clerked in

his older brother Fielding's general store .
With the Black
Hills Gold Rush of 1874, Jack either established a freighting
operation or worked for one, operating from Nebraska to
Deadwood, SD, and expanded the business until it included
seven eight-yoke teams of oxen and 17 wagons. In 1876 he was
elected sheriff of Madi son County, NE. In 1877 he helped move
the Sioux Indians under Chief Spotted Tail from Camp Sheridan
to the Ponca Agency on the Niobrara River in Nebraska and
later to the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. 1 • 2 "The Big
Sioux Tribe, numbering 4 to 5 thousand with their ponies
started a vast cavalcade to the new location.
Mr Hale
superintended the trip as provision man. He portioned out the
food and the Indians call him Waupimin -ee Jack. Two companies
of U. S. Cavalry acted as escort . They traveled 10 mil es per
day, total 300 miles.
The Indians did not like this new
country and he later moved them back to the Rosebud
Reservation.
He knew Crazy Horse very well indeed.
He was
offered one of the Chief's daughters .
Being a dipl omat,
(Jack ) told him he had a white squaw." 1
In an article from the Rapid City Daily Journal, Sunday,
29 March 1891, entitled "Hale's Great Horse Ranch," the
reporter describes Jack Hale's ranch in Crook county, Wyoming.
The ranch consisted of 11 several thousand acres 11 and was noted
for breeding and raising horses . The boundaries were give as
"Beaver Creek on the North, the Bear Lodge Mountains on the
East/Southeast, Lytle Creek on the South and the Belle Fourche
(River ) on the West."
The Reporter states it is about ten
miles to the base of Devil's Tower. The ranch produced "300500 tons of cut hay annually from meadows of the Belle
Fourche. 11
The horses represented stock of Leamington and
Lexington, Norman, Clydes and Percherons . 4 Jack continued to
operate this ranch, known as the JH Ranch, as a Hereford
cattle ranch for many years . In 1877 Jack bought a ranch of
1680 acres near Sturgis, SD, which he called Pleasant Valley
Stock Farm. In 1878 he drove 3000 sheep overland to Pleasant
Valley and later a 100 head of hogs.
He sold this ranch in
1903 and mover to Sturgis . 1 • 2 • 4
Jack was noted for raising excellent horses . He supplied
a large number to the cavalry at Ft. Meade, SD . "Big Sis" was
Queen of the Black Hi 11 s racing turf.
She had raced in
Oregon, Washington, Montana and the Black Hills and never lost
a race.
"Big Sis' s 11 col ts brought high prices .
Two of her
fillies were sired by the renowned French racer, MAHDI. 1 • 2 • 4 A
historical note of interest: In 1878 Ft . Meade replaced Camp
Sturgis as headquarters of the peacekeeping force in the Black
Hills.
The first garrison at Ft. Meade was the US 7th CAV
reorganized after the Battle of the Little Big Horn.
Ft.
Meade was home from 1879 - 1887 to the horse "Comanche," the
lone survivor of the main battle at Little Big Horn.

But the most 11 spectacular 11 race was the Great cowboy Race
in 1893 from Chadron, Nebraska, to Chicago.
apparently,
bragging led to the race from "Chadron to the gates of William
F. (Buffalo Bill) Cody's Wild West Show in Chicago where the
World's Fair was in progress.
This race would prove the
endurance of the prairie-bred horses of the West for all
time." The citizens of Chadron met and adopted the following
11
rules for the race:
the riders were each to use not more
than two horses, which must be Western bred and raised.
Western cowboy stock saddles to be used were to weight not
less than thiry- five pounds. 11
First prize was $1, 00 0 and
another $500 given by Buffalo Bill.
The Humane Society
objected to the race as the horse might be "misused beyond
their
endurance"
but
withdrew
their objections
after
inspecting the horses along the route . 1 • 2
There were ten riders and owners or promoters of the
race.
Jack Hale furnished two horses, "Poison" and "Sandy"
ridden by John Berry, an engineer and stagecoach driver.
Berry won the race--1040 miles in 13 days 16 hours--an average
of 75 miles per day, riding 150 miles the last day. Berry was
awarded first prize only after an investigation.
Berry had
h elped lay out the route which was kept secret until the race
began. All the riders wanted him barred but he was determined
to ride even if not eligible for first prize . Irregularities
by the other riders included "riding in carriages; leading
their horses; shipping horses part way by train; stopping in
Iowa and riding a trick mule in a circus; one rider's horse
had been poisoned by gamblers in Iowa; one rider was ~ccused
of giving his horse a big drink of whiskey before starting out
(the last day; two riders flipped a coin outside Chicago to
determine who would ride ahead. 11 In any event, the first and
second place was won by horses bred and raised in South Dakota
and Jack Hale's Percheron horses won first place . 1 • 2
In 1905 Teddy Roosevelt wrote his old friend, CPT Seth
Bullock of Deadwood to join the doings in Washington.
Jack
Hale was one of 60 western cowboys who rode their horses
(complete with boots and sixshooters) down Pennsylvania Avenue
in the President's inaugural parade and attended a banquet at
the White House.
In September 1906, Theodore Roosevelt
declared Devil's Tower, near Jack's Wyoming ranch , our
nation's first National Monument . 1 • 2
In
1966
South Dakota honored Jack Hale for his
contributions to the American West by inducting him into the
National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center at
Oklahoma City. 2

All of the items are 11 d o-able " some take a
little more work than others, but we hope you will find one of them

or something similar and you just need to send it in for
publication.
1.
2.

A list of all Revolutionary soldiers buried in your county.
A list of all guardianships approved in y our county, or those

If
possible, add informat ion about relationships among those listed .

Tips on Reading Inscriptions
Keep Shaving cream where it belongs - in the bathroom. It is very bad for stones since it contains
stearic acid which is more acidic than acid rain.
Do no use blackboard chalk which contains gypsu~ or dirt, which is highly acidic.
Use inert or neutral materials such as powdered limestone, crushed Tums, or talcum powder for dark
stones and powdered graphite for light colored ones. (Anne Arundel Speaks, Vol 23 No 2, December 1996
viaAntique Week October 14, 1996)

WANTED:
Articles from you.
The Editor has a folder for each of
the 29 counties covered by the Southwestern Virginia Genealogical
Society . Fifteen of those folders are completely empty. We would
like to hear from you. Please write to us telling us how you got
started into genealogy, what type of research you are doing, why
you find it rewarding, and what special hints you have for finding
hard to locate relatives as well as the ''normal" genealogica l
articles . You do not have to be a professional to share what you
are doing with others.
All we ask is that what you write is
legible (not necessarily camera ready) and that your name, address
and phone number be on each submission and that they not be
combined with other SVGS correspondence (queries, surname lists ,
etc.)
REMEMBER , THIS IS YOUR MAGAZINE, YOU SHOULD BE PART OF IT.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Members,
This is my last message to you as new officers will be elected
shortly and will assume their tasks the first of the year.
It has
truly been a privilege to serve as your president for these two
years, but time marches on and you will be blessed by a very
capable incoming president .
I hope each of you have had a productive and satisfying
experience this now past summer with your research and have been
able to find that missing link in your family line.
One thing is
for sure--there is a renewed interest in genealogy as more and more
people are searching in the court houses and especially the
Virginia Room in the Roanoke City Library.
More people are
collecting data of their relatives at their family reunions, and
more are relating the wonderful world of the Internet and other
computer programs.
Now that summer is over, the colorful leaves will soon be
gone, the winter winds will soon blow, be sure to enter all of the
information you have collected into whatever ~ystem you use toward
achieving the goal you have set for your family tree.
One of my highlights of the year has .been the meeting of a
distant cousin from Massachusetts, whom I did not know about until
June, in Montgomery Co. and we found our ancestor's land.
I have
also met distant relatives from IL, WI, AL, as well as Southwest
Vi rginia in the Virginia Room.
Our Society resumed its monthly meetings and programs in
September.
They have been excellent.
I hope each of you within
driving range will make every effort to come to our meetings .
The VAN Editor would like to have more material submitted for
publication in the VAN.
Thank you again for allowing me to be your President for the
last two years.
HAPPY HUNTING!
Ora Belle McColman

THE PERIODICAL SOURCE INDEX (PERSI)
The Historical Genealogy Department of the Allen County Public
Library, Ft. Wayne, IN, houses thousands of periodicals. For over
six years,
the library and its foundation have acquired a
comprehensive
collection of North American historical
and
genealogical periodicals. PERSI (pronounced like the name Percy)
is the result of this endeavor and the public can now access these
materials .
Many libraries now have PERSI - -an index by area and family
name for all periodicals in its collection since 1847. Yes, 1847.
PERSI lists Places and Families in separate volumes from 1847-1985
and from 1986 on they are combined in one volume. The volumes are
divided into place, subject and surname index to articles for all
publications in the collection. Each volume is divided as follows:
US places,
(current) county and record type (22 record type
designations); Canadian places, province; Other Foreign Places,
country, record type; Research methodology, record type; Families 1
alpa surname.
Once you have found an area or a family name, simply copy the
information given: title of article, the name of the periodical,
volume, number, month and year. For example:
VAAP (Virginia Appalachian Notes) Vol. 1, #2,
Grayson County, VA Court Order Book 1793-1794

April,

1977:

You can request up to six (6) articles per letter for a cost
of $5 each letter and twenty (20) cents per page copied. So order
6 articles at a time and save money.
Send your request to:
Allen County Public Library, 900
Webster Street, Box 2270, Ft. Wayne, IN 46801-2270.
They will
send you a bill.
The Library handles requests in a very timely
manner.

IN THE VIRGINIA ROOM.
joined the SVGS within the last two years, you may have noticed an
index of sorts being printed in the VAN.
It usually begins with
"Continued from ... " and ends with "To be continued. "
Well, this
issue of the VAN contains the last installment of "Mit chell's
Reference to Map."
Many of us are not aware of what this
particular map is or how it relates to our genealogical research.
Babe Fowler discovered that a cousin of hers, Geraldine
Obenshain, had a a book belonging to George Waskey, from whom they
are both descended, which was a reference index to a map of The
United States published in 1835. After some research, the map was
found.
The Society purchased the map for the Virginia Room and
Babe made a copy of the reference index and began to publish the
copy in small sections in the VAN.
I decided to take a look at the map for myself to see what all
the hoopla was about. The map is a very clear copy, and according
to the title page of the index:
"The whole, in connexion with the map, illustrating
the geography, topography, and statistics of the Union,
in a more complete and satisfactory manner than has been
hitherto attempted."
Let me tell you, this is the most exciting thing I have seen
for searching for those elusive early nineteenth century ancestors
who do not seem to be listed where we know they were.
If you are
stumped, take a look at this map.
The United States in 1830-1835
was not the same as it is today. "We know that", you say. But the
topography was very much like it is today . If you know your greatgreat-great grandfather Jones bought a farm in New Market in 1833,
do you know where that farm should have been?
In 1830 there were
16 New Markets in the United States and only 5 of them were in
Virginia. That's right there were 5 New Markets in Virginia.
So,
maybe, you are not so sure after all where that farm was.
Another feature of the map itself that makes it worth taking
a look at is that it shows the major roads of the period . Along
with this is the listing of the stage routes in the Reference. The
combination of these two will allow you to see a "possible" route
your family took if they migrated near this time. Even if they did
not take the stage, chances are they used the same roads.
Keep in
mind that travel then took a lot longer than it does now and many
times families stopped somewhere along the way for several weeks or
even months or to pass the winter.
.
When you come to the Virginia Room to look at this map and
find out where all those others towns with the same name were,
bring your copy of the index (from your old issues of the VAN, of
course) with you because I suspect a lot of people will be wanting
to do the same thing.
The Virginia has a full copy of the index
just in case you joined after publication of part of i t .
Also
bring a magnifying glass with you. Even though the map is clearly
printed, the print is small (the copy of "our neck of the woods"

�135

shown below was enlarged to 150%) .
Because the map is in six
sections , it is not difficult to make copies of the section your
are studying, but be sure to ask for assistance to avoid damaging
the map.
You also might want to read the little history provided
in the index of the state in which your own search takes place.
Once you look at the map and make the "connexion" with the
index, you will be glad Babe put it here for us .

EXCHANGE QUARTERLY NEWS

News in the Piedmont Lineages, Vol. XVI I I No. 3, published by VA-NC
Piedmont Genealogical Society, has the announcement of the Danville
burial records being put on a CD. In a cooperative effort between
Danville's Department of Public Works and the Society, Mrs. Mary
Leigh Boisseau is entering city burial records on a computer with
plans to put the information on a CD . The completed CD would then
be available for use the Public Works Department and the Danville
Publich Library by the end of this year.
For members who use the Virginia Room in the Roanoke City Public
Library, please check out some of our Exchange Quarterlies.
The
National Genealogical Society Newsletter contains news of what is
going on in the genealogy community. It also contains the NGS/CIG
DIGES'.IWhich features the latest information on computer software,
tools, techniques and etc . The NGS/CIG DIGEST is written by the
NGS Computer Interest Group.
Numerous genealogical records contain the names of witnesses to
events such as land sales, marriages and writing of wills.
In the
recent past a rumor has been circulating that the first witness is
a relative of the male and the second witness is a relative of the
female.
THIS IS NOT TRUE.
While the witnesses may in fact be
relatives, they are not necessarily relatives and certainly not in
that order. The witness could be a neighbor, friend or relative.
Researching these witnesses' names is very important .
You may
uncover information about them that would lead to new clues to your
ancestors' past. For instance, emigrants often traveled in groups .
Perhaps you would find where the witness last lived, which could
(not would) help you discover your ancestor's former home.
Please help dispel this witness-as-relative rumor. However, do use
the valuable source of further indent if ication .

ELECTION YEAR BITS AND PIECES

FINCASTLE, Monday, April 16, 1821 ("Herald of the Valley")
The election for Botetourt County, af~er a warm contest of
three days, terminated in the election of Col. Burwell, and Capt.
Snider. On the two first days Col. Burwell and Capt . Walker were
a few votes ahead, but on the third day they stood as follows.
Doct . Floyd (for congress)
?~02
Col. Burwell
~73
Capt. Snider
3~2
Capt. Walker
30~
There were various reports circulated to injure the three last
named gentlemen, which some would perhaps think were of so simple
a nature, that they could have no effect, yet they were credited by
many . But Capt. Walker appears to have been most injured; i t wa s
stated of him that he had declared he never would vote for a
republican.
But it is believed he suffered most from a new raod
being cut through his neighborhood, which imposed a heavy tax on
that sect ion of the country.
The people insisted on Capt. W's
preventing its being done; but as it was of considerable benefit to
him, he did not attempt to prevent it being done; and this was the
cause of Capt. W's friends not turning out unanimously; and from a
misunderstanding of the candidates respecting the number of days
the election would last. It was their impression on the close of
the first day, that the law allowed four days; and it was asserted
by Capt. W that he directed his friends to come in on the fourth
day, but it was decided by the gentlemen of the bar, that it could
not lawfully continue longer than three days, which prevented Capt.
W. from receiving the aid of those of his friends that would have
come in on the fourth day.
The election was conducted in the best possible order.
The
greatest harmony existed between the candidates and people.
Capt. Walker will be again a candidate for the next general
assembly.

=================================================================

WARNING ! The National Archives has re commended that no removable
self-stick notes be used on any paper that has permanent value.
The lab examined 3M Scotch Post - It Notes and AMB brand Note Pads
and found that adhesive remained on papers to which the notes were
adhered--even when they were removed immediately.
This remaining adhesive coul d cause i mportant records to stick
together or to the files in which they were housed .
In addition, as the chemical s in the adhesive break down over
time, they can deteriorate the paper and make printing illegible.
The lab also found that the adhesive lifted photocopied images
after two weeks of aging and that some of the note paper colors run
when wet.
So, take those Post-It Notes off your birth certificates and
other important records (unless you have an interest in destroying
certain information, such as your birthdate!) .
A little action now can help save important records--both at
home and in the library--from irreparable damage.

In an endeavor to reduce costs the Society's Officers and Executive Board approved doing away
with the ffifth or index issue of each volume of the VAN. Efforts are to be made to include the
annual index and the list of new members in the November VAN for that year on in the February
issue of the following year. Accordingly, your VAN index for Volume 21 (1996 - Feb., May,
Aug., &amp; Nov.) is on the following pages. The following abreviations are used in the index:
[NNL] -- No Name Listed, (r) -- Reversed Names .i.e. Calhoun &amp; Patton and Patton &amp; Calhoun
(r)

�GENEALOGICAL QUER IES: Each member is entitled to one (1) to three (3) free 6Q
word query (does not include your name and address) per issue as space permits. The typist will
not compose queries for you, so please make your query as clear and specific as possible so that
others can understand them and have a chance to help you. Each query should include name,
dates, and location to identify the problem. Please CAPITALIZE surnames - is it Mary Smith
JONES (single) or Mary SMITH JONES (maiden &amp; married name). Do not abbreviate, we will. If
not typed, please PRINT- some written queries we have not been able to read. Queries for nonmembers are 5~ (cents) per word not including your name and address. Queries must be
received prior to the 1st of the month preceding publication.

FA M I LY R EUNION, PUBLICATION OF BOOK, N EWSLEI IEAS, ETC.:
Limited to 60 words, not including your name and address. We cannot edit a full page down to 60
words - so send the notice as you want it printed. These notices will be put in as space permits.
Members will be given priority in publishing these notices.

M ATE R IAL FOR PUBLICATI ON: We welcome articles, records, etc. for publications.
The material when received may not be used in following issue, but in a future issue. If a large
amount of material is sent, it may take a while to publish because we try to have a variety of
material in each issue. (1) READY FOR PUBLICATION (which the editor loves) . Please type
using a carbon ribbon or dark ribbon and CLEAN KEYS. Use 8 1/2" x 11" paper, single space, with
a minimum margin on ALL sides of 1 inch. Center your title. Be sure to include your name,
address, and date (year) on the document. If not typed for publication, please PRINT PLAINLY some articles that have been hand written we have not been able to read , or those that are typed
with all caps are difficult to read. PLEASE read mate.rial over before mailing and double check all
dates. (2) GIVE SOURCE OF MATERIAL. Original documents - where found, type of record,
page number, etc., or, if known, who now has the document in their possession. We CANNOT
PRINT material from printed sources unless we have written permission from the publisher, which
you MUST FURNISH. We must have source of material to give credit to the person who has done
the work. (3) DEADLINE for submitting material should be at least two months before date of
publication . (4) PLEASE do not send material that you want returned- send a photocopy to us
instead . That way it won't get lost, as letters do get misplaced, when passed from one person to
another.

SURNAME INDEX: Information will include name (given and surname), place
(location at time of date), Date (birth, death, marriage, or where living at the date
given) . 'WASKEY, William Christopher· Montgomery Co, VA, - 1900· 10 death" If this
data takes more than one line or the spouse is included on the same line, it will
count as two names. The limit is 1O names. The surname index is published in the
August issue.

VAN cannot vouch for the accuracy of the material submitted to us and
printed by us. The 'translation' of the·original
document may not be correct - get a copy of the
original document, if possible, to see if you
agree with the printed version.

�PRESI DENT'S MESSAGE
July 15, 1996
Dear Members,
I just don't see where the year has gone. It's time for the August
issue of the VAN, and I haven't even made a visable reduction in the stack
of materi a1 I was intending to finish this summer- -yet, I've been working
every ava i lable minute. As al l of you know, researching your family or
families is mot something you can finish in a few hours , a few days, or
even a few years.
I'm very encouraged by the number of people researching in the Virginia
Room this summer and the miles they have come to do research . One man from
Alabama remarked that he had driven 600 miles to f i nd one name, but it
turned out he found many of his wife ' s family from a book that one of the
SWVGS members had done. Almost every day folks from different states come
to the Virginia Room searching, and as additional resources are added
regularly, it becomes even more attractive. Other members have reported
they have been l ocating cemeteries and recording the information on the
stones, and trying to find the names of the people buried there whose
graves do not have legible stones- - particularly if some of their relatives
are known or thought to have been buried there .
Another surprise for me was a distant cousin coming from Florida to
Montgomery Co . for research and found my Lawrence book in the local library.
It turned out he was a descendant of one of the Lawrence sons having migrated
into KY. and raising a family there, i n addition to the two sons he left i n
Montgomery Co.
Genealogy is alive and well in Roanoke.
I hope each of you has had an opportunity to attend your family reunion,
or will have before the year's end. This is an excellent opportunity to
get to know your kith 'n kin and to exchange pictures and information. One
of our members helped to organize a reunion earlier this year- -the first
for the family and it turned out to be a huge success. They hope to have
another next year.
The next meeting of SWVGS will be Sept. 21, which will soon be here .
I hope each and every one of you within traveling distance will attend our
meetings as they have been very interesting and informative .
Also, our VAN Editor, Babe Fowler would appreciate any of you
submitting material for publication in the VAN .
Happy ancestor or kin folk hunting unt il I see you in September.
Ora Be ll e McCo l man

�THE LIBRARY OF VIRGINIA

I:!. 3

The Library of Virginia is pleased to announce the Virginia Colonial Records Project (VCRP)
database, a modern and innovative electronic tool for access to a vast finding aid to the basic
sources for the study of colonial Virginia history. The VCRP was established by the Librarv of
Virginia, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, the Virginia Historical Society, and -the
University. of Virginia Library to reconstitute the archive of colonial Virginia--a documentary
record decimated by war and fire. Between 1955 and 1985, project agents visited more than 100
archives and libraries in Great Britain, Ireland, and France to survey their collections for Virginiarelated documents.
The VCRP generated 14,704 Survey Reports, in which the agents described their findings, and
acquired 963 reels--about a million images--of microfilmed original documents. To provide ready
and easy access to this mountain of information, VCRP staff at the Library of Virginia have
created a database index to 500,000 personal names and ship names in the Survey Reports. The
database is fully searchable and, most important, is linked electronically to digitized images of
the Survey Reports. Historians, genealogists, exhibit curators, archivists, and other researchers
can examine any of the 28,000 pages in that huge finding aid.
The Virginia Colonial Records Project database is available for public access on the Internet
through the Library of Virginia's Home Page. The URL is &lt;http://leo.vsla.edu/lva/lva.htrnl&gt;.
Because all of the panicipating Virginia institutions hold copies of the microfilmed documents.
the VCRP database supports research on early Virginia history at those institutions as weJJ as at
the Library of Virginia. As the year 2007 and the 400th anniversary of English settlement in
Virginia nears, the VCRP database will be an invaluabJe resource for all varieties of historical
research.
For more information about the Virginia Colonial Records Project database, contact John
K.neebone. Project Director, The Library of Virginia, 11th Street at Capitol Square, Richmond,
Virginia 232 19. E-mail: jk.neebon@leo.vsla.edu; phone: (804) 786-7311.
The Virginia Colonial Records Project database is one part of the Library of Virginia's Digital
Library Project. More than 1.3 million documents, images, and finding aids are available through
the Library of Virginia's Home Page. During the second phase of the Digital Library Project,
one million images will be added by September 1996.
In addition to the VCRP database, the first phase of the Digital Library Project includes:
• Images of more than 850,000 deteriorating catalog cards, totaling 35 unique and
searchable research aids to archival and library collections at the Library of Virginia.
• A bibliographical index to the Library of Virginia' s extensive Bible Records collection.
which is often the only source for birth, death, and marriage information prior to 1853 and from
1896 to 1912. Images of the Library's 100,000 Bible Records will be linked to this index during
the second phase of the project.
• The U. S. Army Signal Corps Photograph collection, including more than 3,500

�photographs from the Hampton Roads Embarkation Series, 1942-1946, docwnenting military
activities at Virginia ports during World War II. A bibliographical index is fully searchable and
linked electronically to digitized images of the photographs.
The Library of Virginia, formerly known as the Virginia State Library and Archives, has served
the archival and research needs of Virginians since 1823. The history of the Library of Virginia.
however, reaches back to the collection of books and archives acquired for official use, first by
the colonial Council and later by state authorities. Established as the reference and research
library at the seat of government, it holds Virginia's official records from 1607 through the
present day.
For more information about the Digital Library Project, contact Elizabeth Roderick, Project
Coordinator, The Library of Virginia. E-mail: eroderic@leo.vsla.edu; phone: (804) 786-2975.

others can understand them and have a chance to help you. Each query should include name,
dates, and location to identify the problem. Please CAPITALIZE surnames - is it Mary Smith

not typed, please PAINT- some written queries we have not been able to read . Queries for nonmembers are S&lt;i (cents) per word not including your name and address. Queries must be

MATERIAL FOR PUBLICATION:

We welcome articles, records, etc. for publications.
The material when received may not be used in following issue, but in a future issue. If a large
amount of material is sent, it may take a while to publish because we try to have a variety of
material in each issue. (1) READY FOR PUBLICATION (which the editor loves) . Please type
using a carbon ribbon or dark ribbon and CLEAN KEYS. Use 8 1/2" x 11" paper, single space, with
a minimum margin on ALL sides of 1 inch. Center your title. Be sure to include your name,
address, and date (year) on the document. If not typed for publication, please PRINT PLAINLY some articles that have been hand written we have not been able to read, or those that are typed
with all caps are difficult to read. PLEASE read material over before mailing and double check all
dates. (2) GIVE SOURCE OF MATERIAL. Original documents - where found , type of record,
page number, etc., or, if known, who now has the document in their possession. We CANNOT
PRINT material from printed sources unless we have written permission from the publisher, wh ich
you MUST FURNISH. We must have source of material to give credit to the person who has done
the work. (3) DEADLINE for submitting material should be at least two months before date of
publication. (4) PLEASE do not send material that you want returned - send a photocopy to us

The Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society meets (usually) the third

Come early and research in the Virginia Room.

�PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
April l 0, 1996

Dear Members,
It's Spring. The spring flowers and the greening of the earth should
be giving us a renewa l of enthusiasm to get busy on that res ea re h you may
have put on hold during these past few months of winter's snow, ice and
chilling winds.
By the time this VAN is published, Roanoke will have hosted the
Vi rgi ni a Genealogy Society's Spring Conference which promises to be a
great conference concentrating on Virginia's migrations.
As you do your research and recording, be wary of everything that
is in print, or recorded even in the court house records.
If at all
possible, double check with the original document, or before you accept
the printed source, double check it yourself. There are just too many
chances for human error in recording, copying or typing.
In order to make the VAN more representative of the membership, if
you have unpublished material the editor would appreciate your contributing it, however, it may not be included in the next publication.
Happy hunting,
Ora Belle McColman

Smyth county wa::; formed from Washington and \tVythe in 1832.~
lies in_ the valley formed by the Alleghany and Clinch mounta ins, ~
Washington county on the western and vVythe and Bland on .~&gt;
eastern borders. The valley lands are \'ery fertile, and the upper la
produce the spontaneous blue grass upon whic h large herds of c~
are annually raised. The cou n ty is drained by the North, Middle '
So uth forks of the Holston river, which have their rise in this coun
while the Norfolk and Western railroad extends through its m i~f
part east and west. It has been demonstrated by actual experieh·
within the last few years that the county (especially the Rich Val
and Chestnut Ridge sections) cannot be surpassed for the productio?
tobacco- either fine yel!ow or heavy shipping. Co rn , wheat, oats i
buckwheat are grown in paying quantities, a n d the dairy and ore~·
products are varied and valuable. Iro n o re , limestone and salt 1":
found in great abundance, as are also lead, copper, gypsum and ma~.,
Marion, the county seat, is a thriving, handsome town o f con sidera,~.

southwest from Richmond , on the line of the Norfolk &amp; Western R~
road, and on the banks of Middle Fork Holston river. It is the site,
the South Western Lunatic Asylum. The county has a n area of
square miles, 327,394 acres, and the lands have an average asse.~i·

MARRIED - --On the 2~th instant, by the Rev John Helms , Mr John Rock, to Mi ss
Nanc ey C McConnell, both of this County .
----------On the same evening, by the same, Mr John Custard , to Miss Betsey
Whistler .
On Th ursday evening, the 10th inst at Bell Air, Front Royal, by the Rev Mr

=====~=~~=====~===================~=========~=~ = = =:=========================~=

DIED--On the 19th inst. very suddenly, SAMUEL HORNER , in the 17th year of his
age .
To g i ve some particulars respecting th e death of this young man,would
be to say, he was afficted for a short time withthe sore throat but not in a
manner calculated to creatthe least apprehension---On the night of his
departure; he went to bed apparently ind isposed, but not so much so, as to
cause alarm, he profanely expressed a wish t o the servant, who attended him ,
that he "wi shed to God, h is d is ease might kill him"--it appears his wish was
granted him---for i n t he morning he was found in bed a lifeless corpse. This
may possibly serve as a warning to others, who no doubt incautionaly make
such wishes .
=====~========================~================================== ===~========

LAND SALE SYSTEM
from Burton Collection
The following is taken from a letter that Mr. Charles Burton had written to
a client concerning land during the 1780s.
"A number of people in the area were claiming land for which there had been
no grant issued. The Commissioners were appointed to hear each person's
claim, and investigate their proofs of claims, and decide who was entitled to
how much land at what place. Some people were here with no permission of
any kind. Some had permission. This permission, or warrant, could be
acquired by military service, or by purchase from the State. This warrant
could be sold and assigned to another person. The holder of a warrant could
have the County Surveyor go to the land he had found (not already claimed by
someone) and have it surveyed by metes and bounds. This surveyor's report
could also be sold and assigned to another. The holder of the surveyor's
report could then send it to the Land Office so that a grant could be issued
to him. After the grant was issued, when the land rights were sold, a deed
was written and recorded . When the Warrant, or surveyor's report was
assigned , it was endorsed on the back, as we do a check. Sometimes there
were several assignments made on the same document .
Now, when the Commissioners issued the Certificate, we are thinking about ,
they were saying that they had looked into the documents presented to them
by 'John Doe', and had decided that he was entitled to the supposed 800
acres. They had examined the papers which those named had assigned to him,
and found them to be legal. ' Doe' would send this Certificate to the Land
Office, and a grant would be issued to him. But, again, this Certificate
could be sold and assigned to another.
When a person, with a Warrant, found some unclaimed land that he like d he
went to the Courthouse and had this location recorded in the Entry Book •

BREACH OF MARRIAGE CONTRACT
Ann Myres, Plaintiff

against

William Snodgrass , Defendant

The case was argued by Watts 8 Allen Taylor for the plaintiff , and by
Miller S Baldwin for the defendent. The contract was fully proved. The
defendant's ground of defence was that she had departed from v i r tue , b u t i n
this he was not barned out by evidence. It did indeed appear , she h ad b een
seduced by the defendant, who produced witnesses to prove that she ha d fr equently 'bundled' with young men , but such was their ch ara ct er and mann er
with but one exception, (Wilson) that the jury did not giv e the ' least
credit' to their testimony . The defendant was most ably s upported by his
counsel.
The jury after a consultation of about half an hour dec ided in favour of
the Plaintiff --- damages , Three hundred dollars . The de fendant ' s property
was supposed to be worth two thousand dollars.

LEGISLATIVE PETITION
for GILES COUNTY, VIRGINIA
To the General Assembly of Virginia
The undersigned petitions would humbly represent
to Your honourable body that grant apparent inconvenience is now and
has
been for most of the present Year suffered, by those persons who are owners
of lands lying along the margin of New River, because of the want
in most
instances of the means and ability of procuring the necessary fencin g alon g
those part of the farms bordering upon said River.
Your petitioners would represent that in the month of May last, a freshet happened in said River that overflowed its banks and carried away perhaps
nin e t een Twentieths of all . the fencing along the river, leaving the Crops of
the Farmers residing on the River there in a very flourishing Condition
exposed t o destruction by all the stock that usually range about the River, and
to prevent which these seemed to be but one resort and that was to connect
t h e fenci n g wit h the River at the upper and lower ends of the farms, and make
t he Riv er answer the purpose of the fencing which by an act of Providence the
own er s had been defenced of. Your petitioners would further state that
this
res or t prov ed to answer a very valuable purpose and that so far as Your petiti one rs ar e informed no person suffered any loss whatever by stock passing
aroun d t h e p oints of connection by the fencing and the River . Your petitioner
the r e fore Confidently believe that it would be of very great advanta&amp;e to the
f a rme r s alon ge t he River to be permitted to use the said river as a
lawful
fe n ce. t his ri v er is in average width about three hundred Yards, and but little p roba b ilty that stock would ever attempt to cross.
Your petitioners
th er e fore earnestly desire that Your honourable body may pass a law declaring
Ne w Ri v er a lawful fence and as in duly bound will ever pray &amp;c
John Chapman

There wil l be a petition presented to the next Assembly of the Virginia Legi sl a t ur e praying the passage of an act establishing Newriver as a lawful

The Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society meets (usually) the
third Saturday of the roonth (except S\mrer roonths and Decerrber) at

Roan.

�PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
December 30, 1995
Dear Fellow Members,
I sincerely hope that each of you ha s had a year of prosperity and
good health along with all the pleasures of a Holiday Season with al l of
your loved ones.
Now that the mad r ush of the holidays is over , perhaps you will be
able to settle down and complete the research you have put aside for a
more opportune time to finish.
As I have spent a lot of time recently in the Virginia Room in our
local l ibrary, I've been very encouraged to see that genealogy is alive and
well in Roa noke as evidenced by the number of peop l e researching in t he
Virginia Room, as well as in the nearby courthouses. It is encouraging to
see a number of school age chil dren working on their family tree . It may
be true that they are doing it as a school project, but they seem to be
doing it with interest and enthusiasm.
We, in Roanoke, Virginia, are very fortunate indeed to have the
materials that are available to us in the Virginia Room al ong with the
staff that is so willing to help with our problems. Also resources are
being added regularly to the collection already avai l able . I encourage
our out of town members to make Roanoke Public Library Virginia Room a
destination point for Y?Ur reseach. Better yet, plan on attending one
of our meetings --the third Saturday of each month except May, June , July
and August.
To each of you, a Happy New Year.
Sincere l y ,
Ora Bell e McColman

DO YOU HAVE PHOTOS OF CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS?
The U.S. Army Military History Institute, Department of the Army
collects photographs of Civil War soldiers, both North a~d South, for
historians, genealogists and other researchers. They prefer photos of
the men to be in uni1orm but any photo of the man who served is
acceptable. For the Army to provide the public with a copy of a photo ,
they need a good, close-up negative made from original photographs.
There are basically two ways they get the negatives when the photos are
in private collections. The first way (and the one they prefer ) is that
the owners send the1r originals to the Army ( see address below) and they
will have nega tives made with the original photo returned to the owner.
The second way is for the owner to have negatives made and donate those
negatives to the Army. They do want the information of the sol dier, his
rank , full name, company letter and his regimental affiliation (number )
when kno·..m. They do not need photos of tombstones or family members
unless the photo is a post-war image and family members are included in
the picture. The photos are made avai lable to the public. They will
check their f 1les for photos and if they have a photo of your s oldier
they will send you an electrostat1cally reproduced copy along with
ordering instructions. Address: Department of the Army, U.S. Army

�BREACH OF HARRIAGE CONTRACT
DIANA IIMBERLAND, Plantiff, against ALEXANDER FLEET, Defendant

This case came on and was argued before the Hon. Judge Allen; counsel for
the plaintiff, Mr. Allen Taylor and Mr. Caliahill Minnis; counsel for th e
Defendant, Mr. Briscoe G. Baldwin. It was contended on the part of the Defendant that the Plaintiff had made more than one other engagement at the
time she was engaged to him; but in this, he was not borne out by evidence;
it did indeed appear, that the plaintiff had been very nekle in her promises, for two of the witnesses declared that they had courted her and th a t
she had engaged to marry them; but this was before the engagement with the
defendant.
It appeared from the testimony advanced by the parties, that the Defendant
had before addressed the Plaintiff, but the union was opposed by her father,
which for some time broke off the courtship, when the defendant paid his addresses to another young lady, which reaching the ears of the Plaintiff, he
again received encouragement whic~induced him to return, and soon after they
were to have been married, but falling in company with the young lady above
mentioned, and his mind being somewhat sowered with the conduct of the Plaintiff's father, he hastily came to the resolution of eloping with this l ady ,
to whom he was married, on the very day he was to have been married to the
Plaintiff .
The following is said to be a copy 0£ the letter which he wrote to the
Plaintiff's father, the day before his marriage.

[THE LETTER]
February 21st , 1822
Dear Sir:
It is with displeasure I must inform you that though this affair
wi t h regard to me marrying your daughter has gone as far as it has I cannot
reconcile it rightly to myself, for with shame I must acknowledge, that I
don't believe my affection is great enough to engage on so solemn an occasion, When I consider how serious a case it is that I must answer for the
same, at the day of Judgement, and when I am required &amp; charged tha t if I
know any cause or impediment why we should not be joined together, knowing
my want of affection, which I think is sufficient impediment if I was on the
floor; and I further believe that my happiness in this life and the life to
come depends much on the companion I get; I always shall believe people ought
never to be coupled together for any other principle than love, though I
have often tried to persuade Dianab for us to drop it, she did not appear
willing, which was the cause of it going as far as it has; I think it better
to drop now and to rue in time, then to live together unhappily and repent
it hereafter, when it is too late to be helped, however, I wish you to give
yourselves no further trouble about it, as I do not expect to attend there

�PRES IDENT'S MESSAGE
October 14, 1995
Dear Fellow Members,
It seems this year has gone so fast . It will soon be 1996. The fall
of the year is so beautiful but it is sad to know that the dead of winter
will not be far behind.
I, and the other Board Members, want to apologize for the delay in getting
the August VAN in the mail you to. Our printer had both technical and
health problems, but we hope this is behind us and that your November
issue will be arriving soon.
I hope that the summer months have been productive for you, that you hav e
been able to make many trips to do your research and with the coming
winter months you will be able to put it all together .
As I work in the court houses and the Library, I find more and more
peop le are being "bitten by the bug" to find out more about their
fami li es and their heritage.
I wish it were possib l e for all of you to attend some of our great meeting
programs. If you are in the area, or within commuting distance, please
come to our meetings. Also, if you have something to share in the VAN,
Babe Fowler, the editor~ would like to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Ora Belle McColman
President

AT A MEETING
Of the young men of Fincastle , engaged in Merchantile emp loyment, held on
Tuesday the 17th inst .
Mr. DANIEL MEENAN in the Chair.
The following preamble and resolutions were proposed, and unanimousl y
adopted --Whereas, the practice of selling Goods on the Sabbath, has become so familiar in Fincastle, that it attracts an assemblage of Negroes and 'l ow Whites'
---whos e example is highly pe~icious to public morals; and, whose actions
are ostensibly subversive of the laws of th e Land and the Municipal regulations of this place---a practice repugnant to every feeling of christianity
and personal duty- --detrimental to the publick---unprofitable to our employers -- - and degrading to ourselves.
Resolved, That, from and after the 23rd day of July 1821, neither we, nor
either of us, will sel l or be accessary to the sale of Goods, Wares, or merchandize on the Sabbath day, unless in case of absolute necessit y.
Resolved That, in order to frustrate false pretexts on this score, we
will re quire of each and every applicant a testimonial of the fact from some
citizen personally known to us as a man of probity and truth .
Resolved, That , we conceive it a duty, which we owe to our employers, to
state, that our services have never been required by them, on the Sabbath
day; but, that we have hitherto labored under the influence of a long establ ished custom.
Resolved, Tha t , for our mutual support in carrying the above resolutions
into effect, we do thus publickly and solem£1Y plight to each other our
words of Faith and Honor.

When statues of horseback riding heroes are constructed , the horse ' s position
signifies how the hero did.
A statue showing the horse with two hooves raised
indicates the hero died in battle; one hoof raised, he died of battle wounds;
and if all four hooves are on the ground, the hero died naturally.

TO UNMARRIED LADIES
THE SUBSCRIBER a Widower being desirous once more to enter into th e state
of Matrimony, takes this method of letting himself &amp; in cl inations be known,
and also of bec oming a cquainted with one whom he hopes would make him happy.
He i s well convinced (having h!d a sufficient trial ) that the married state
is th e only one calculated t o make him completel y happy; and for th e informa tion of th ose ladie s who should feel d isposed to favor his views, he will
st ate what his circumstances are: He is a farmer, 35 years of age, with four
small chi ld ren, and has property amounting to about two thousand dollars or
upward s .
The lady h e would desire he wishes should posses the following qualifications : - -1s t s he must be moral; her morality may amount to reli gion .
2nd, she
must posses at l east as muc h prop erty as himself. He will not object to any
Sect or Church , but will ac ce pt of any from the mild and moral quaker to the
ze alous methodist, between the ages of 20 and 35.
All letters add ressed to A F, Strasburg, Va. or to the editor of the Herald
of th e Valley wil l be attended to with the greate st secrecy.
As he is in earn es t he does not wi sh to be trifled with, or have any thing
to sav on th e subie c t to any whom he has not addr ess ed , or should not feel
disposed to change their si tu ations

�PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
July7,1995
Dear Fellow Members,
I sincerely hope you have had a wonderful year to date with your
genealogy research. Now is a very good time to hit the roads, court
houses and libraries--not to mention the family reunions.
Be sure to take your family history or work sheets with you to
your reunions, and share your research and enthusiasm with your fam il y
members. Most of them have good stories to tell and they would l ike a
good listener. A smal l tape recorder is good for recording the stories
rather than trying to take notes at the time.
I'm so glad to see an increase of younger people in the court
houses and libraries doing research. So many of the younger generat i on,
as well as the older ones, could care less about their roots. That
makes me very sad because I've thoroughly enjoyed knowing about my extended families -- the scoundrels as well as the well to do.
Don't forget the benefits of using land records to prove your
family. I ' ve just found out an instance the hard way--! was taking for
granted an extensive research on one of my families done by another
person which appeared to be the logical line and had worked it into my
work. Then in the court house , I wa s trying to fi nd where another
branch of the family went and found a deed recording the one I was
looking for, as well as the other heirs of the family, including the
ancestor of the other person. The two were brothers rather than
cousins.
Sincemy,
Ora Belle McColman

�A LETTER TO MY GRANDSONS: DONALD ROSS, JAMES WAYNE AND JOHN ROLLA
PROTHERO.
This letter was written by Zulema (CANFIELD) PROTHERO.
Her
grandparents were Henry and Mary W. (WYNN) MILBOURN who migrated
to Butler Co. KS from Lee Co., VA in 1878. Henry b. 1July182 8 ,
d. 15 July 1887; Mary b. 12 Nov 1833, d. 19 Feb 1907.

Dear Boys;
I think the time may come when you will want to know more
about your ancestors, so I have decided it is my duty to tell you
some of the stories and legends which were told to us by our
mother. She was born, Margaret Ann Milbourn, near the little
town of Jonesville, in Lee County, Virginia, on April, 20, 1854.
She was an interesting story teller and her stories of her early
childhood in Virginia were told so vividly and in such detail ,
that it seemed, when your Daddy, Grandpa and I were there in
November, 1950, that I had seen the places before.
There was the Grist mill, where her family and all their
neighbors had their grain ground into food for themselves and
their animals. It stood, as she had always told, beside a little
stream of water, which was fed by a spring farther up the
hillside. The stream was turned into a mill race when it was
needed to furnish power for turning the mill stone which did the
grinding. Her father had imported that stone from France, whe n
she was a very little girl, and it was still in use when we were
there. The mill had been partly destroyed by fire but had been
repaired and was much the same as when her father owned it. The
house where her family had lived had been burned, but another had
been built in the same place and style.
I want you boys to know some of the stories which Mother
used to tell us, and I will try to tell them just as she did:
She was seven years old when the Civil War started , ----just as you are now John . . Lee County is the very western tip
county of Virginia and so is on the boundary line between
Virginia and West Virginia. There is a place there which is
called Cumberland Gap. Mother's home was thirty miles east of
there in a se ction called Long Hollow.
In that part of the
united States, a valley between two hills is called a " hollow",
the hills are called "ridges" and a place where it is possib l e to
drive from one hollow to the next is called a "gap" . We
Westerners call it a "pass".
Mother told of one time she went to open the pasture ga t e to
let thei r milk cows come home to be milked. They were not wa i t ing
at the gate as they usually were so she had to go hunting t hem on
the brush and tree covered hillside . She found them and was
driving them to the gate when she heard a horse coming at a fast
run. She knew it was being ridden by someone in a b ig hurry , a nd
when it came into view she saw it was a young nei ghbor man. He
saw her and called, "Let the bars down , Maggie ." It was a pole
gate,--- - the kind in rail fen c es----and she knew the right way to
open it was to take the lowest bar off the block on which it

�rested first, then the next and the next.
But the horse was
coming so fast that she kn ew she would not have time to take all
~he poles down, so she threw off the top one first and the horse
Jumped the other and dashed away out of sight on the hillside.
As he passed her the rider called, "They are after me Maggie .
Don't tell them which way I went . " She was only a little girl
but she knew about the Conscriptors---men who rode about the
c~untry forcing every man they saw to leave everything and go to
fight for the South.
So she knew that was why the young neighbor
was hiding . Soon, three men, dressed in Southern uniforms, rode
up and asked her if she knew which way that rider went .
She
could truthfully say she did not because there were many trails
on the hillside. The men knew the difficulty of finding him and
rode away.
The Conscriptors took the stand that any man living in a
state which had seceded, as Virginia had, must favor slavery and
should go and fight for the Cause----they did not bother t o ask a
man how he felt about slavery, but took him at once--no questions
asked or excuses accepted.
Tho' my mother's father did not favor
slavery and he and his family had given all their slaves their
freedom by legal action, the conscriptors came after her father
and his two brothers.
The family was a strong Quaker one and as
such did not believe in war of killing.
The last words their
father said to his sons were "Never raise a gun against any man,
my sons; He never did thee any harm . " So Grandfather did not
make a very good soldier for the South . And because he was very
free to tell every one how he fel t about the problems of the day
and his promise not to bear arms, they found another use for h im.
They made a cook of him.
Grandmother Mary u sed to say it was no
wonder the South lost the war if that was the kind of cooks they
had. Grandfather was so open in his criticism of the South that
most of the time he was confined to the guardhouse to keep him
from escaping and where he dared n ot talk so much.
Mother said
she and her brother, Will, use to go to the Army camp t o visit
their father and usua lly found him in the guardhouse.
The camp
was v ery near their home.
Like others who had been forced into
service he watched for a chance to escape.
He and several
others ~ere very ill from eating poorly cooked and partly spoiled
food and were put apart from the others to prevent a possible
outbreak of epidemic. They were kept guarded but one night, the
guards , thinking they would all be dead by morning, were not very
alert, and theY all escaped.
Before the Conscriptors took Grandfather away they allowed
him time to find someone to stay with Grandma Mary and the
children.
Mother was the oldest and she had two younger brothers
and a baby sister . Grandfather was able to get an old woman,
whose familY had also been taken, to come and make her home with
Grandma and the children. Although the woman was old, she was
strong and capable and had a great deal of courage . She knew how
to butcher a Pig which they had raised for meat and she knew,
too, that the meat must be well hidden or it would be stolen by
the Army or the marauders who roamed the country.
So she

�loosened a board of the floor and hid the meat and other supplies
under the house.
Then she spread a length of rag carpet over the
loose board and put her r ocking chair on it. When the thieves
came she pr ete n ded to be very feeble and sat in the chair. The
thieves had known that they had the pig and asked where it was.
The old woman told them it had been stolen and they believed her
because that happened so often.
The family had one other animal, an old mare, so old that
the Union Army had rejected her when they bought the other
horses.
She was the pet of the children and they called her "Old
Pet" . The old woman knew how to handle a plow and with Old Pet
to pull it, she plowed a small patch of ground on which they
raised a garden.
The night Grandfather and his friends escaped, he came home,
but knew he dared not stay there. He was so sick, he knew he
could not go far on foot, and his intention was to go to the
Union Army, camped some distance away. Tho he hated to take Old
Pet away fr om the family, he had to have some way of getting away
other than by walking, so he rode Old Pet away from the family
and to make it look like she had been stolen, Grandma Mary tore
the barn door off it's hinges.
Mother said she was nearly a
grown woman, before the children were told who took Old Pet.
It
had to be a well kept secret .
Grandfather was successful in getting to the Union Army, but
he was so sick that they thought it best to send him on North to
a brother of his who lived in Indiana on a farm.
Since Virginia
had seceded from the Union and most of the people living in their
part of the state were Southern sympathizers, Grandfather knew he
would not be very popular with his former neighbo rs . There was
much bitterness, especially since the South had been defeated.
You boys are living through a war but it is on the other
side of the world, in a little country called Viet Nam, so you
see very lit tle to remind you it is taking place. Mother told
one story which illustrated the frightful nearness of the Civil
War.
History tells us that more battles of that war were fought
on the soil of Virginia than on any other state North or South .
Mother and her two younger brothers attended school in a large
log school house, about a mi~e from their home. It was a one
room building and all the children for miles around attended
school there.
They had a young lady teacher who taught all
grades.
One day they heard cann?ns firing a~d knew a battle was
in progress fairly near. The children were frightened and wanted
to go home but the teacher thought they were safer in the school
house than any other place. The battle had started in Cumberlan d
Gap, about thirty miles west of there, but was coming closer .
The teacher became frightened, too, and said they could all go ,
but those living in the direction o~ the.fighting must go home
with s ome one li ving in the other d1rect1on . Mother's home was
in the direction away from the fighting so she was taki n g sever a l
children home with her.
They had just left the school y ard wh e n
a cannon shell burst in the roof of the building and it was
completely destroyed.
Later another large log buildi ng wa s built

�in the same place, and was still in use as a school when we were
there.
People there told us it had been built ninety years, and
was used also as a church and neighborhood meeting place.
Although Grandpa did not come home immediately after the war
close, he was anxious to get back to his family and resume his
milling business. He and some of his neighbors, who had also
been sent north to regain their health, decided to ride home on
horseback.
It was a long ride and they had camped out at night
and so were very dirty when they reached their own homeland.
They had to pass the school on their way to their homes and it
was recess time and the children were out playing.
The men
stopped to talk to the children and some of the older children
said, ''That is your Pappy, Maggie." But she refused to believe
that dirty, unshaven man was her father who had always kept
himself so neat and clean.
But when she went home after school,
he was there, looking more like she remembered him.
Mother told of her Uncle Joel Milbourn, who had been taken
at the same time her father had had to go. And like all the
others who had been conscripted, he was always on the alert for a
chance to escape.
He and several others were shackled together
and were being herded along to the Southern Army.
They came to a
hastily and poorly constructed bridge over a deep and very muddy
river.
Their captors untied them to allow one man at a time to
cross.
That was the chance Uncle Joel needed.
He was a good
swimmer and he knew that water would deflect a bullet, and he
knew too, that if he could get away and hide, they would not
spend much time in looking for him, as the Union Army was
pressing close.
He had to take the chance.
As he crossed the
b ridge, he pretended to catch his foot on a loose board and fell
into the water, amid a rain of bullets.
None of the bullets hit
him and he swam away under water and was able to hide behind a
log. His captors were so sure he had been shot or would drown
that they did not spend much time in looking for him.
He knew
the country well and slipped through to the Union Army where he
served as a guide.
Awhile later, the conscriptors, thinking he
might have survived the shots and flooded river, came back
l o oking for him. When they learned he had never returned, they
were sure he was dead. A few days later another team of
conscriptors came to Jonesville, carrying with them, a man's head
in a sack.
They showed it around, saying it was the head of Joel
Milbourn and that he had been shot for trying to escape . That
was their way of warning others not to try that. Great
grandfather heard about the head and asked to see it.
He knew,
at once, that it was not his son's head.
The hair was the wrong
color and a small scar was missing.
But he pretended to mourn so
they would st~P looking for Joel, and he asked permission to bury
t h e head in ~is family cemetery . After the war, Uncle Joel
re tur n ed, still Wearing his head.
La t e r, Uncle Joel had another narrow escape, which was in
no• wa y c onne cted with the war.
Great grandfather owned a large
Pla nt atio n on the western outskirts of Jonesville and kept a herd
of c attle - There were many small calves which were fed a mixture

�of ground grain and milk or water called "mash".
The dry mash
was kept in a large barrel in a rather dark shed. A tin scoop
use for measuring the amount fed to each calf was kept in the top
of the barrel when not in use. One evening, Uncle Joel went to
feed the calves. He reached into the barrel for the scoop and
felt a sharp peck on his hand. Thinking it was on old hen which
had chosen the barrel top for a nest, he again plunged his hand
in, intending to evict her bodily. Another very sharp peck
caused him to withdraw his hand hastily and he was horrified to
see a large Copperhead snake clinging to it. He knew it was very
venomous and that he must get help quickly. His first thought
was to prevent the poison from spreading . Using his other hand
and his teeth, he quickly tied his handkerchief around his arm
and ran to the house. His mother, my great grandmother Mitchie,
as she was called by everyone, was so well versed in the use of
native plants and herbs for medicines and poultices, that she wa s
often called upon to doctor sick people in their neighborhood .
With her knowledge and ability, she was able to save his life.
Following the close of the War came a very trying period
which y our history calls Reconstruction . There was much to be
done to restore the Country to peaceful existence.
In the North ,
where most of the manufacturing was done, it was necessary to
convert from manufacturing war goods to peacetime needs. But
their lands and businesses had not been damaged to the extent t he
South had suffered. The Sougth had few manufacturing plants
before the war. The end might have been different had they been
able to supply themselves with needed guns and ammunition . They
had a long established trade with England, who would have been
glad to supply them with their needs if the ships which carried
guns and other needed war goods, had been able to get through and
land their cargoes . But the North had no intention of letting
"Gun runners" get through their blockade. So it became necessary
for the South to obtain guns wherever they could be found.
You
boys will remember the faded scrap of paper which Grandmother
Mary had saved, and which my cousin Homer Milbourn gave to me
when I was there in 1950. It is a receipt of Grandfather's
rifle, which a Captain from the Confederate Army gave him when he
"borrowed" Grandfather's gun to defend the mountain passes during
the Civil War .
It states that the gun will be retur ned to
Grandfather at the end of one year or sooner but since we still
have the receipt, it is to be assumed that the gun was never
returned .
In the South, there was hardly a foot of ground that
had not at some time, been a battle field.
There had been no one
to tend the fields so they had . grown to weeds.
In manY cases,
the sons or fathers had been killed or crippled, so there was not
one left to care for the land . Some of the former slaves had
chosen to remain or return to the only homes they had ever known ,
but there was no money to hire them .
The money which the Confederate States had issued, was
worthless.
So, when Grandfather heard his friends talking about
that great "out west" where the Government would actuallY give
you a piece of land for a small cash payment and Your promise to

�build a house on it and farm the land, he and many others decided
to take a chance on that plan rather than to try to rebuild where
they were. There was much talk of a new state called Kansas,
where they hoped their stand on the slavery question would not be
so unpopular. So they sold their Virginia homes and loaded their
families and necessary household goods and machinery onto wagons
and started "West" by wagon train.
They drove as far as
Nashville, Tennessee which was the nearest railroad.
There they
bought tickets to the "end of the line" wherever that might be .
on that particular day, it happened to be El Dorado, in Butler
County, Kansas. All their lives they had been use to ridges and
h?llows and streams of running water.
Now they must learn to
live on the wide expanse of prairie, with seldom a tree in sight.
It was no wonder that when Grandfather started to look for a
piece of land to homestead, that he tried to find something as
near like their Virginia home as possible. But he soon learned
that no part of Kansas is like any part of Virginia.
He did,
however, find a piece of land with a running stream across it,
and there he located. Along the banks of the stream were trees
which would furnish the needed lumber for building.
The trees
were not pines as Virginia had but sturdy oaks were plentiful,
and the log house which was their first home in Kansas is
standing today. (Note: house no longer standing, 1995).
Kansas was at that time, notoriously lawless and many of the
wild west stories which entertain you today, are based on
episodes of that day in such towns as Dodge City, tho' there is
no doubt they have been made wilder in the telling.
But there
really were many people who were not law abiding citizens.
But
the Milbourns and their friends brought with them their quiet,
industrious ways of their Quaker faith and soon were very
prosperous. After a few years, Grandf~ther built another home
for his large family.
It was a large frame house with an
abundance of "gingerbread" trimming, as was the style of the day.
There he lived the remainder of his life and Grandmother Mary
lived there with her two youngest sons, Uncle Dick and Uncle Lon,
until her death in 1904.
It was always one of my childhood
delights to get to go to Grandma's and explore those unused
second floor bedrooms or play in her garden, filled with oldfashioned flowers.
The roots or seeds of many of them had been
brought from her garden in Virginia.
Although the family had successfully established a home in
Ka nsas, their thoughts were often with their old home and the
dear ones who had . stayed behind.
Great grandfather and great
grandmother Mitch1e still lived in the large brick house near
Jonesville. When we were there we went to visit the old home and
get some pi~tures of it.
The lady who was the present owner
invited us in to see the interior.
The main house had four rooms
on the first floor and four rooms on the second and every room
had a lar~e open fireplace.
Many of the bricks in the fireplaces
and exterior showed the finger prints of the slave who had made
them, for every brick was made by hand . That was many years
before Great 9ranctfather owned the plantation.
The present owner

�estimated that the house must be well over two hundred years old,
and had been continuously occupied. Many of the slave cabins
were still standing, but at that time of the year, it was
difficult to tell if the land had been well tended.
Mother knew
that as long as her grandfather had lived, he had cared for the
land very carefully. Tho' he had given the slaves their freedom
and assured them they could go if they wished, many of them
pref erred to stay or return. He gave them money along with their
freedom, but in a short time they found they did not know how to
meet the world as Freemen, so returned to their cabins and worked
for Great grandfather for wages. He also gave them ground on
which to raise garden and feed for their pigs.
Great grandfather had a custom of riding on horseback around
the plantation, inspecting the work of the Negroes. On one such
ride, his horse became unmanageable and threw him, breaking his
hip.
Since he was quite elderly, he suffered a great deal.
Medical science was not so advanced in those days and he never
fully recovered from the accident. He is buried in the family
cemetery on the hillside above the house.
In this same cemetery,
lie buried under one headstone the bodies of twenty Union
soldiers and were billeted in Great grandfather's home and who
were slain in their sleep one night by a larger force of
Confederate soldiers. Sometime before the Civil War, Great
grandfather had served as United States Senator from the section
of Virginia and during th~ war he had invited the Union Army to
use the second floor of his home as a hospital. My mother said
that no amount of scrubbing could remove the blood stains which
had dried into the wooden floors, but we did not see the
upstairs. The owner said it was used only for storage .
I think this is enough introduction to my mother's side of
the family.
Perhaps sometime, I will tell you of some of the
incidents in the lives of my parents and maybe some of the times
Grandpa and I had together.
With much love to my boys ,
Grandma Prothero

Note:
Contributed by Carol L. ~ilbourn, 6929 Pine Needle Dr. ,
Boones Mill, VA , March 1995. This letter was sent to me by Robert
Milbourn of Greenbrae, CA who gave me permission to share it with
others.
I have not been able to ~rove that this Milbourn family
was ever Quaker . Will mentioned in the letter is William B.
Milbourn 1855-1936; Uncle Joel must be George B Milbourn 18261890; the great grandfather was Andrew Milbourn.l802-1B86.
Andrew Milbourn was not a United States Senator but served as a
radical representative for Lee County at the Virginia
Constitutional Convention 1867-1868.
"Grandfather" HenrY
Milbourn, who supposedly went to IN after the war was ba ck home
in Lee Co., VA by the 1870 census.
The house mentioned as being
"200 years old" was built around 1825 . The house has been

�unoccupied for some time and the cemetery was overgrown when we
were there in the 1980's. In 1992 the house was owned by Evelyn
Gibson Mason of Middlesboro, KY and papers had been filed with
the Historical Society for elibility in the National Register
[Bicentennial History of Lee County Virginia 1792-1992 pg. 125).
According to a El Dorado, KS newspaper article, the Milbourn
family arrived there by train on February 18, 1878 with 25 people
in their group.
The group had boarded a train about 45 miles
from their home in Lee Co.
&gt;

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

A recent letter that was received by SVGS listed 23 names, 9
birth dates with just 2 places of birth listed, 1 place name
concerning where someone had built something - and no SASE but
this person was wanting help.
For new researchers (and those who have forgotten), please send
SASE (Self-Addressed-Stamped-Envelope) when writing to this and
other societies.
SASE's are always appreciated by all!!!

============================================================================
The Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society meets (usually) the third
Saturday of the month (except summer months and December) at the Roanoke
City Central Library, El mwood Park , Jefferson St (across from Community
Hospital), Roanoke, Va at 1 :30pm. Come early and research in the Virginia
Room.

�Dear Fellow Members,
Isn't it great!! As I sit and write this letter to you, the forsythia
is still in full bloom outs ide my window, backed by the crab appl e blossoms
still hanging on and the pink dogwood is almost in full bloom . Isn't spring
wonderful --the renewing of both the spiritual meaning of Easter and the
bursting forth of nature.
Great things are happening in our Society. Mr. Cha rles T. Burton has
entrusted to us his life-long work to make it available for the public to
use through the Virginia Room and other libraries. THANK YOU, MR. BURTON!
Our program chairman has lined up wonderful programs for future months and
MOST OF ALL, there seems to be a new breath of enthusiasm in our Society .
Jimmie Steele is starti ng a new class in genealogy on Sunday afternoons in the Virginia Room . Perhaps, many of these will become interested
enough to join our ranks. Three of our members have commi tted to be
speakers at an upcoming regional workshop .
May I say, don't hesitate to let your fellow members know what lines
you are working on . . why ~ say this, within th~ last m?nth two fellow members
have shared information ~ith me that has come 1~to.the1r possession -- one
of which was beyond my w1 l?est dre~ms of ever find i ng as the name was a tran1 ati on from Ge~man to Eng lish., Be1~g of Germ~n descen~ on that family was a
compl ete surprise. Now, I can t wait to combine that information with what
I have accumulated. THANK YOU Ms. --Please, all of you members try to make a point of attending our meetings.
We'll try to make them interesting.
Sincerly,
~~£0

It · will
require
much
time
to
inven tory
and
prepare
this
meticulously researched col lec tion for the Virginia Room.
we also
hope to publish.
For those unfamiliar with his work we are

CHARLES T . BURTON
I n the Daleville Co mmunit y in the County of Botetourt the re
li ves a man who perh aps knows more about places and people of
ear l y Botetourt than any other person.
Ch ar les T. Burton, known
as a Genealogist ,' ha s spe n t years checking faded and yellowed
deeds , tracin g t he histor y of familie s or property ownership.
He
has researched just ab o ut every court record avail abl e-deed books.
marriage records, dea t h records, birth records, wills, tax records
a nd Ce nsus reports .
He has utili zed the information available in
the Virginia Room of Ro a n oke C i ty L ibrary .
In addition to bein g a Ge nealo gist. Charles is a historian.
Not
only h as h e searc h ed records fo r information about places and
people he ha s pe r sonal l y v isit ed and checked out early homesites,
ce mete ries and p 1 aces of industry in the ear 1 y days.
He has
written hundreds, perh aps tho u sands , of reports and papers on his
findings.
He has writt e n a numb er of factual books.
His
kn ow led ge of people and places in the days of settle ment and
development i s remarkab le.
Charles T. Burton i s the grandson of C. B. (Fal) and Maggie
Smith Tho ma s who owned the old Glebe Mill and li ved on a portion
of t h e G leb e land.
Hi s mo the r was Eula Thomas and his father was
Gilmer Br u g h Burton .
He grew up at the Thomas homeplace and spent
hi s life
in t h e Gl e b e a r ea of Botetourt County.
Burton's li fe changed when he became ill with Tuberculosis in
the 1 950's.
At t hat time he was working as a mechanic for the old
Wright Motor Compan y in downtown Roanoke.
He was unable to work
for about seven years and struggled to find something to do to
relieve his boredom.
During this period he discovered the
Virg in ia Room of th e Roanoke City Library.
His research and
gene.ajogy work began.

�For a number of years after recovering from Tuberculosis he did
agr iculture survey work in Bot etourt County.
This work added to
his
knowledge
a bout
creeks,
br anc he s,
homes
and
other
old
buildings.
He began his research work with his own fa mily.
To hi s surprise
he found that he was a descendant of Pocahontas and was related to
mo v ie star Robert Taylor (real name Arlington Brugh).
He also found ifciht he was a direct descendant of Mark Evans. the
first settler of Big Lick, through Evans' son, Peter.
It is of interest to note that much of Burton's genealogy work
is done for women trying to trackdown their ancestors to be in a
position to apply for membership in the Daughters of the American
Re v olution
organization.
Research
has
been
done
to
trace
o wne rship of property-many people buying property in historic
Bo tetour t Co unty want to know the hi s tor y of their place from the
days of first settlement .
Burton ma intains his files and in many instanc es requested
informat i on can be furnished from his records and information
wh ich he ha s de v eloped over the years.
A person seeking information about Botetourt County at the courthouse is usually referred
to Burton.
The same is true in the Roanoke City Library.
His
knowledge
and work over
the
years
have earned
res pect
and
recogni ti on for him.
Those of us who have sought help from Charles Burton have be en
re wa rded with far more than expected-a reference to his files , or
per h aps he w i l 1 rec a I I a f am i 1y or p l ace w i t ho u t ha v i n g t o r e fer
t o t he wr itten document.
How for tunate so many people are to ha ve
h im shar e his knowledge and research findings with them, which he
wo rke d ha r d and long t o obtain .
Char l e s T . Bu rt o n is truly an outstanding cit izen of Botetourt
Co un ty - o ne who h as rend e red a great service by bringing the past
to light.

dollar, and all extra work, on the most reasonable terms.

This

Brown of Paris, TX has a picture of the stone that was made
several years ago.
In the overgrown area there is a gra vestone that is leaning and
dark and not too clear. In Memory of Miss M. Ga laspy - Died Apr .
26th , 1883 - Aged 16 years.
Next to her is a gravestone l aying
on t h e g r ound so we do not kno w i f it is at the correct grave
site.
It just says Florence - aged 10 months.
In the overgrown
area there are at least 10 to 12 s tones that are not readable
and/or underneath brush so we do not know how many graves were
o r ignally t h ere.
The following lis t of graves tones is in the above mentioned book
ROANOKE COUNTY GRAVEYARDS THROUGH 1920 that we could not locate .
Fl orence - Aged 1 0 months .
This is undoubtably the same

NOTICE
The merchants of this place are requested to attend at the Bell tavern on
Tuesd ay, the 7th instant, for the purpose of devising means to prevent
effectually the Breach of the Sabbath, by the shameful practice of the sale
of goods on that day. It is to be lamented there has-been no check applied
to this vice previous to the meeting of the young men . It is hoped all will
attend.

THE LAST WORD
The editor would like to give the reason why we are publishing the book
" Mitchell's Reference to Map". I found it very interesting in giving a history of the US at that time -- The first part of the book which will be published last, is a n index of towns, counties, &amp; rivers which are given on the
map that accompanies the book. The SVGS has given a copy of that map to the
Virginia Room of the Roanoke Public Library. The map is large and the map
division of the Library of Congress sent it to us in five section. One of
the most important things that I found on the map is that there may be
several towns by the same name in one state.
Also the stage routes are
very helpful - what route did our ancestors take by land . The Virginia Room
does have a copy o f the book, so stop by and check to see if your town is
listed.

others can understand them and have a chance to help you. Each query should include name,
dates, and location to identify the problem. Please CAPITALIZE surnames - is it Mary Smith

MATERIAL FOR PUBLICATION: We welcome articles, records, etc. for publications.
The material when received may not be used in following issue, but in a future issue. If a large

u~g a carbon ribbon or dark ribbon and CLEAN KEYS. Use 8 1/2" x 11" paper, single space, with
a minimum margin on ALL sides of 1 inch. Center your title. Be sure to include your name,

�"MINUTES" for DECEMBER 10 , 1994
A special meeting was called for December 10, 1994 to launch
the celebration of our 20th year.
President Norma Jean Peters
asked Babe Fowler to speak briefly about the start and earl y
years of the society.
(she has been asked to publish her
speech in this issue of the VAN)
The Board of
Directors were happy conspirators
in the
deception of the reason for the meeting.
Meeting notices
announced the surpris e recognition . Babe received a specially
printed notice.
Attending on Meeting day were charter members Mae Moore, Bob
Phlegar, Ed Keith, and Mary Jane Vaden in addition to Babe ,
also a charter member.
All members were anticipating the fun
of the surprise!
Norma Jean anno unc ed there was a bit of business to take care
of before enjoy ing refreshments and fellowship.
"It was decided we should begin our 20th anniversary year by
honoring someone we all hold in high esteem and who has given
a great deal of time and dedication to this society.
She was
our fir st president and has been editor of the VAN since 1979.
Babe Fowler is a helping and caring person, always so helpful
to persons having a problem.
She has given many hours to the
work of the society and to personally helping members with
genealogy questions.
Babe, this gift represents the Life Membership it is our great
pleasure to give you . "
Babe was surprised and thanked us for the beautiful Virginia
cup inscribed " In Appreciation, Babe Fowler, VAN
Editor".
Ruth Hale presented a basket of flowers, (borrowed to use as a
centerpiece for the refreshment table) and Charlotte Haymaker
gave a box of choco 1 ates.
Babe expressed her thanks and
. stated "the onl y way to get a piece of candy was to drop by
the house"!
Mary Jane Vaden feared she would be delayed and asked me to
read her thoughts of Babe she had written and left in our bo x
in the Virginia Room.
A Tribute To Babe
How shal 1 I put int o words a warm feeling from a person - toperson standpoint as well as a fair and comprehensive sense of
appreciation for all of your dedication and devotion to the
Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society?
It is this
organization through which you have expressed your desire to
share what you hav e learned through the years about genealogy.
You have tried to convey reliable as well as unusual methods
of research-over and above that, you have shared interesting
bits, some of the ridiculous and some of the delights of
persistent research.

�3

Much of the hard work and timeless hours you have spent trying
to produce a genuinely useful magazine have not been known to
most of us.
Publication of the Virginia~a1Echian Notes. has
had many ups amd downs but you tackled the problems until you
could find workable solutions .
You saw to it that what was
projected as needed to be done, was done and as c 1 ose to " on
time'' as was humanly possible under given circumstances.
Having
had
the
opportunity
from
the
beginning
of
the
Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Socity to
observe the
progress, I am sure its growth and its value to its members,
far and wide , has been, in large measure, due to the qua l ity
and content of the VAN.
This is almost the only contact most
of its members have with the organization.
Without Babe, I
wonder what might have happened to us.
For many reasons, I salute and thank you, Vicey Waskey Fowler,
better known as BABE to most of us, your friends.
Sincerely,
Mary Jane Vaden
December 10, 1994.
I concluded the reading by say i ng " I
say We Love You"

think we are tr y ing

to

Mary Jane arrived just in time for refreshments---a fruit
plate , Ora Belle's homemade fruit cake, a decorated cake and
soda.
It was a lovely party and I am sorry you couldn't all be
with us.
I hope you have enjoyed 'meeting ' Babe.
Gene Swartzell,
Recording Secretary

1WENTY YEARS
There is no way that I can write that in these few lines. A few thoughts instead. The first workshop was in the red until one speaker (who knew we were struggling) wouldn't accept payment and paid
the expenses and fee of another. That workshop taught all of us what .Nor to do. We have had speakers on a variety of subjects, workshops, trips to court houses and other libraries , recorded cerretries, tours of historical hares, taught classes, etc. At one cemetery, we were told of the metal
m::im.:on:mt that was put to use during Prohibition - rrany people came to pay their respects to the deceased. 'We have tried to help people wtX&gt; write to us. What do yoo do when sooieone writes for a
birth certificate for sc:rneone bom in Virginia in 1756? Very proud of the Society and individual
rnenbers for the donations - txx&gt;ks, records, quarterlies, equiµnent, etc - that have been given to
the Virginia Room. We want to thank the CPA who helped us to get o..ir IRS non-profit rating, the
attorney .mo helped us with the incocporation of the Society and those who got our non- profit with
the Post Office. Still mad at the ccrnpany for rroviog Calvin across the state - we found three
people to take over his job. The fun and worry of putting out the V~. I have learned not to believe every thing that is in print because I have misread the original records too many times and
make too many typing errors (which I never find until after it is in print) . My best merrories are
people - members and non--manbers - (sooe who turned out to be kissin' kin) I have ITEt. Hope their
memories are as pleasant as mine and they w-1.11 rerreirber me as a friend and forgive tre for the mistakes I have made .
The big question now is what do our members want? let us know for this Society
is yours!
Babe Fowler

The site of the old Jacob Spitler farm is off Rout e 11 about a half' mile
unto County Road 640. In the swnmer, 1994 the road was being changed
considerably with the removal of a curve that passed through the location
of the old Spitler farm known as, "Weeping Wd.llow Farm" . This i s the tract
with the splendid old brick house that Mr. Howanl Loope of the Wheatland
area i nherited as a young man from his uncle, Andrew J . Loope . A. J. Loope
and his wif'e purchased the old "Thrasher place", moved from t he .farm of
Loope's ancestor, Jacoq Trevey's son-in-law, Jacob Loop i nto the Thrasher
place. A. J. Loop and his wife were getting up in age ar:d young newphew,
Howard Loope cared for them. Having no childxen, t hey left their f a rm to
him. Mr. Howard Loope died in May, 1993· It is beli eved his widow, Mrs .

better or worse .
ALIAS - did not have a criminal meaning. It usually meant illegit imacy; the
surnames of t he father and mother were joined .
SENIOR &amp; JUNI OR - di d not necessarily refer to father and son . I f t wo men in
t he same t own had t he same name , the older of the two was "senior" and the
younger became " juni or" even t hough they were unrelated . In earlier t i mes a
father might have done the same in naming sons.
NIECE - could be any femal e relative,, but usually a granddaughter.
NEPHEW - might be an ill egitimate son , but usually a grandson.
COUSIN - might be a nephew or an uncle.
BROTHER - might be an adopted brother ,, but could also be an in-law, lodger
or church "brother" .
DCMESTIC - could be a wife because she was at home .
MOTHER- IN- LAW - could be a stepmothe r.
HOUSEKEEPER - once meant property owner and could be used for a male as well as
a female .
INMATE - as found in the PN (sic) ArGhives, refers to a man l iving in the home
of another person but not necessarily in an institution.

Mill Creek of
Mr Thomas A. Rice
Dear Sir

According to your request I will this
day - drop you a few lines = in order to inform you that I = Received your
letter = of = the ath May = and was happy to learn that you and all were well
a nd saucy as pet pigs your letter according to your desire found us all well
as usual.
I understand by your letter that Col. Waskey was very unconcerned
about writing I wi sh you would tell him that if he does not write sooner he
had better for depend upon it he'll get his ears boxed when I see him if he
dont attend to his business better than he Does === but enough of this at
pres ent I was very much mortified when I heard your little darling was
married to another man but not half so much as I was when my little one took
to her sevapers but I have about forty-leven in view at present and either
of them I believe is far before the former.
I have been varing and charging
amongst the gir l s for a few weeks like a dog in a meat house I was sorry to
hear you had wore out your bed rolling about of Nights on account of Eve
runn i ng off in the way she did , Never mind
(page 2) that for one of the Name is as good as the Same theres
Miss Phebe
yet in her prime - fresh as a lilly blooming as a rose and not to be wined
at by them that has no teeth mind you and theres miss Ellen yet Just in her
prime not to be sneezed at neither and there is one more yet but I do not
recollect her name at p r esent allthough I am very well acquainted with her
too = and she is hard to b eat I can tell you
Here is a piece of poetry about our missfortunes in losing our Girls which I
composed j u st for this letter
Alas my darling did depart
Which al most broke my aching heart
But since that time (and long before)
I had in view == some forty more
Yo~r-Lucy-dear I "illlderstand
Accepted of another hand
And vowed herse lf t o be his wife
Which allmost took your very life
But Since that time (Perhaps before )
y_~u-~~L_ell:_ .in _love ~it_!"i fo..E.!.L..m£E.~ ::_-_:::I have not Saw the gir l you requested me to Speak a Ct has been erased?) good
word to for you yet perhaps though I wll see her shortly I wish you and Col.
Waskey and his old woman (if I may so call her) Cou ld Come up == Shortly for
(as I Stated in my letter to him) I am determined to have a quilting right or
rang and have all the girls in the County and we will lock

�George W Waskey
(page 3) the Old women in the Closet or some other dark place and then we'll
dance like five hundred
You aught to come up and hear us ----- Sing Once at Our Society
wish I may
be squeezed to death in a cider press Double distilled into a bott le of
Colongne water and sent round to New Orleans if ther e aint some of best Singers
in the Mill Creek Singing Society (for such is the name of it) that ever jumped
the brown stick Why Sir when you look at them they will grin just like an
Opossem at a green percinamon and as to squeezeing I have never tried many of
them but I got hold of a small chunk of a one some few ~ek ago she only
weighed 196 lb Just a barrel
flour and mind I tell you sir I thought
should never get loose--from her Grace I wish I may be scratched to death
with Crab Claws if She had not like to Squeezed me smack in two (and kiss)
wish I may kicked to death with grasshappers if she dident buss me on the
Cheek and it Cracked so that you mought.a herd it at least two miels of a
right windy day and it burnt as bad as if there had been a plaster of
Spanish flies and Vinegar put on it - but I cannot give you a full description without writing a volume of about 400 pages = and that I have not time
to do at present So I shall have to conclude by remaining your affectionate
well wisher until Death ===

Write to me soon after you get this

GENEALOGICAL HINTS

Need to send money to a foreign country in their currency? Call Ruesch
International at 1-800-424-2923. For a two dollar service charge, they will
provide you with a check for the amount you wish drawn on a major bank in that
country. When you call they will ask what amount you wish to send and quote
you an amount in dollars based on the current exchange rate. You send them a
check for that amount plus the service fee and they will mail the proper check
back to you . Fast, easy and much cheaper then going to a local bank .

THE LAST WORD
December 10 , 1994
Usually I don't use this column because it takes away from the material in
VAN and you would rather have data then to hear from me . I am not sure what
is to go in VAN this issue, but I will put my 2¢ in. I and Janice Hagan did
start the SVGS in 1975 -- Janice moved to GA and have lost track of her. In
the summer of '75, I told Janice wouldn't it be wonderful if we had a genealogy society, a quarterly, and a library. And Janice took me up on it -neither of us knew what we are doing. We have SVGS, VAN, and our l ibrary
is the Virginia Room . Wouldn't have it any other way. The Library has been
good to us - especially Carol who goes out of her way to help everyone (and
I am not forgetting Brenda). The people who deserve the credit for what success that we have had are: The officers - past and present -, members (who
have taught me many things) that have contributed to the society in big ways
(there are no little ways). The professional friends that have contributed
their time and talents and have not charged for their services and did not
want their names used. If I tried to name the people, the list would take
the entire issue and then some.
All I can say is "thanks for all the help that everyone has done to take the
Society to this date - and in the future i f we are to exist,"
Babe Fowler, editor
ps : Don't believe everything that you have read in this issue.

The Southwestern Virgin ia Genealogical Society meets the third Saturday
of each month (except summer mont h s and December) at the Roanoke City
Central Library, Elmt-(o od Park, Jefferson St (across from Commun ity
Hospital) , Roanoke, Virginia, at 1 : 30 pm.
Come early and research in
t h e Virginia Room.

�Dear fellow genealogists:
The Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society provides a variety of services
for members as they engage in genealogical research. Your executive board works
hard to try to provide these services. We have dedicated volunteers who give of their
time and energy to promote genealogical research .
In addition to the individual benefits extended to members, the society also
makes contributions to libraries to assist people who are doing research in our area.
Recently the society purchased a microfilm reader for the Virginia Room at the
Roanoke City Library.
Another project of the society is the organzation of a computer user group. This
promises to be a wonderful way that our computer users can share expertise and
knowledge. I urge you to become involved in this group.
You will soon be receiving your renewal notice for membership for 1995. Send
in your renewal as soon as possible so that you will not miss a single issue of our
journal, "Virginia Applachian Notes."
Best wishes to each of you .
Sincerely,

,.·

BIOGRAPHICAL
Died, at his residence, in Botetourt county, on the 13th of December , 1856,
Mr . Samuel Kesler, in the sixty- first year of his age .
Bro ther Kes l er did not make an early profession of religion, yet early in
life he was a student of the Bible; and his devotion to this exercise increased as long as he lived . Acknowledging the purity and sovereignty of
the Scrip tur es, the development of their truths to his understanding, he received as imperishable treasure; and f rom them derived those principles that
distinguished him for integrity of character and real worth.
The moral grandeur of redemption impressed his mind with a sense of God's
g oodness. "If God so loved the world, " he reasoned, "as to subject his son
to extreme suffering to bring salvation, on the principles of justice and
mercy, in reach of the lost, its rejection must be most criminal.'' Such
thoughts e nabled him to realize his true position as a sinful man, and his
own littleness in view of Him, who reigns in the majesty of his glory in redeeming love. But the same gospel that produced in him bitter repentance,
led him to solid rest in the love of God, through faith in Christ .
"For renewin g and sanctifying grace , he exclaimed, "Let the name of God be forever
adored."
He regarded obedience to God ' s au tho r ity as true moral excellence , and the
idea of some---"If saved in heaven, all is gained, and hence obedience to
God in baptism is of no consequence"---to him, was extremely wicked . He considered that men might be saved without the sacraments, but that a disposition
to obey God ' s authorit y , whereve r seen, is essential to the perfection of the
christian character. With this view of his duty , he made application to the
Cowpasture Baptist church for membership, was received, and was bapti zed by
Elder C. Tyree , in the Cowpasture river, into the fellowship of that church .
His p iety and christian deportment g ained for him the esteem of hi s brethren,
and commended him as a consistent Christian, until his faith triumphed in
deat h.
During the last week of his life he suffered much bodily pain, from which,
the best medical aid and kindest attentions could not relieve him . But he
suffered and died like a Christian. To the wi fe of his bosom and sorrowing
children, he said, "Weep not for me . My faith is strong---the stin g of death
i s removed---my Redeemer is near---the conflict is closing---rny bl is s, now
beginnin g , will be unending---weep not for me."
The death of brother K. has opened wounds in many hearts , wh ich the world
nor a ny thing but grace can heal . But heaven has
"A sovereign balm for every wound ,
A cordial for our fears."
His bereft companion and children deeply mourn their loss, but following
him by the eye of faith to his seat wi th Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob , in the
kingdom of heaven, say in their hearts, " Thanks be to God, who giveth us the
victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
D.S.
(Note: The above obituary is typical of the period . There were very few
that gave the names of the wife, children, or other members of the f amil y.)

The Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society next meeting will be the
third Saturday of September at the Roanoke City Central Librar y, Elmwood
Park, Jefferson St. (across from Community Hospital .

�Dear fellow genealogists:
The Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society values your membership and
your participation in the activities of the society. Your executive board works hard to try
to provide services which will assist our members in their genealogical work . We are
an all volunteer group and many people contribute to the success of the society.
We do not have meetings in the summer but plan to resume in September with
our regular meetings on the third Saturday of the month at the Roanoke City Library.
Ora Belle McColman is doing a great job in planning interesting meetings for those
who live near enough to Roanoke to attend.
For those of you who live out of the area but whose research brings you to
Virginia, your executive board members would welcome a telephone call. The
Virginia Room at the Roanoke City Library is a wonderful place to do research .
Please let us know if we can be of assistance to you .
Sincerely,

~~~r:~

Virginia was the.first nnglo-American colony, and the fi rst germ of a
mighty notion.
Jn mes I. in I fi06, grnnlc1l lo two Companies, the London nnd Plymouth,
all thnt p;irt of the Americnn coast from N. laliturlc 34° lo 45°, under the
names of North nod South Virginin. The lotter effected an nctual settlement on the Powhatan, now Jnmes river, nnd there commenced tl1c United
Statc.c::. The early ntlvnnce was very i:low, the colony being regnrded with
indi!ferencc in Englnml. In 1619, the first Legislature was convenednn ndvnnloge more than counterbalanced tho ensuing ycnr, by the i.ntroduc.
lion of the first African slaves.
As an English Colony, Vi rginia wos royal in its political features and
feeling!'!. In the long revolutionary struggle, from 1612 to IGGO, the people sided with the roynl party. The revolution of 1688 extended il.9 e!fects
into every section of Drilish dQmination, in which Virginia shnrcrl its bcne.
fits. For n considernl&gt;le periotl she e11joye&lt;l great internal trnnquillity, and
experienced nothing to interrupt her growth.
In the year 1732, she gnrn L&gt;irth to the most il111strio11s of hc,r sons ; the
great slntesman nnd p11triol wlio wo!'I destined nllerwnrds to nchicve the
intlepc11dcncc of nll the colonies. In the coloninl wnr of 1755, Virginia
was truly distinguished. In that of Ilic Americnn revolution, she was, in
many respects, tlm l cadin~ Stale; nml the illustrious J.Va,,hi11gton WM only
one of mnny of her sons who shone in lhnt day of events. Since the
peace of 1783, she hns rctninecl nn elcvnted rnnk in the family of Stoles.
Fruitful of illustrious men, she lrns given fou r Presidents to the Union.
During the late war with Grcnt Dritain, her citizens displnyed great pnlriotism in opposing the common enemy; nntl her maritime frontier su!fercd
severely from his predatory incursiom;.
The distinguishing national lroits of 117 Virgininns ore frankness, generosity, decision, nml unshrinl&lt;ing pcrscvcrnnce. Nature hns bestowed on
Virginia ndvanfagc of position, soil, climolc, and nnvignble rh·ers. She is
ofien distinguishatl by the title of tho Ancient Dominion, prohnbly from the
circ11mstnncc of her having IJC&lt;'n the first settled of the colonies.
This Stnte is bo1111dcd on the north by J\laryland, Pennsylvnnia, nnd

that pcrio&lt;l it wns brought under lhe control of tlie crown, nncl so continued
to the revolution, which separated the Cnrolinns, with the other Ameri.enn
colonies, from Great llritnin. In 1720 the colony of Corolinn wns found
too unwieldy for convenient government, nnd wns scpomted iulo two distinct go\'ernmenls, under the relative nnmes of North Cnrolinn nnd Soulh
Carolina. Jn 1775, an insurrection took pince of the inlmbilnnts of the
western counties, who styled themselves "n~gul n tors," nnd complni ning
of oppressions practised in the nclministmtion of justice, professed n desire
to rcgulnle these mailers by destroying the lawyers. With this chnrilnble
view, they organized themselves into n body of 1500 men, but Governor
Tryon marched ngainst them with n force of nbout 1000 militin, nnd totnlly
dcfoated them; three hundred were killed, nnd the rest sued for mercy.
Sbon nfler this pcricxl the contest with the mother country commenced, nnd
although this colony hat! s11fforml pcrhnps less than any other from Ilritish
misgovernmnnt, the majority of the inhnbitnnLc; joined heartily with their
brethren of the other colonies, in opposition to the schemes of the ministry,
and aflerwnrds in the declaration of indepcndenco. During the wor ,or the
revolution, North Cnrolina was for n considerable time the thcnlrc of hostilities, in which much blood was spilt, nnd where some of tho most brilliant nchicvcmcnts of the contest were performed. The battle of l\loor'e
Creek bridge, King's l\fountnin, nnd Guilford Court-House, will rcmnin in
history imperishnblc memorials of tho bravery and patriotism of its inhnbitnnLc;. Since the pence of 1783, her progrc.&lt;is hos been so tmnquil os to
alford hut few materials for rcmnrk. North Carolina is bounded on the
north by Virginia, cnst by tho Atlantic Occnn, south by South Cnrolinn,
nncl west by Tennessee. Length 362 miles, nnd brendth 121 miles; nrca,
43,800 ~qu arc miles, or 28,032,000 ncrcs. The country, for more than
GO miles from the coast, is a low plnin, with mnny swnmps nnd inlcls from
the sea. T he,grcntcr portion of this district, except nlong tho wnlcrcourscs, is a vnsl fores!. of evergreens. T he rich lnnds nror the s\vnmps
nntl rivers arc insnluhrious. Having passed this monotonous region, we
emerge to the pleasant nncl midlnnd pnrls of the Stntc, nt the hnsc of the
Allcghanir,s, from whose s ummits the eye trnverscs on immense extent or
hcnu ii rut country to the wc.~t, nnd vision is lost in !he ngreenblc succession
of hill, dale, forest, nncl valley, with nn claslic nml snluhrious ntmospherc.
The soil of North Cnrolinn resemble'-'&gt; that of Viq~inin : in the lrvcl pnrts it
is generally poor, in rhe hill y country more fertile, nnd Lhe productions nre
much the same ns in the more northern Stnles. \Vhcal, rye, barley, onts,

NORTH CAROLIN A.
In North Cnrolinn 1 the first nttempt by the English a.t colonization in
Amcricn, wns m:i&lt;le. This country originally formed pnrt of that extensive region which by the French wns nnmed Flori&lt;ln, and by the E nglish
Virginia, nr~l. inclrnled in the pntent granted in 158 1 to Sir W:~lter Haleigh,
hy l!uccn l.'..lizaheth. Under the auspices of that noblemnn, a small num.
lier of alll'enturcrs were lnrnled in 1586, who were prohnbly cut off hy
the natives, as 110 lrncc of their existence couhl nfierwnrds be obtninecl.
Two or three other nllempts were nt &lt;liOcrcnt timC'.~ made to establish colo11ic.c;, which, however, proved nbortive. About the year 1650, some emi~ r:i nts from Virginia made the first nctu:il settlement of whites, nnd in
11flli l, a second English colony from J\lnssnchusct,., reached anti settlct!
. 1lw111c;clvcs on Cape fcnr river. Af1cr mnny vexatious struggles, the
'1nr.'rnt colony obtained , in 1667, n rcprcscntntivc government. Dut two
yr:1rs nlkrll'ar&lt;ls, it was thrown into confusion by nn attempt to introduce /
the !i111cilul constitution, so famous under the nnmc of Locke's scheme of
govrrnmcnt. T his wild project wns soon nhondoned, nnd like most of the
otlir:r Enrrli~h colonies, the ndvnncc of Carolina was slow, nnd its history
rrndercd "horribly mernornble, by n most destructive snvngr. wnr in 1712.
Previous to 1717, Carolina had been n proprietnry governmr.111 1 but nllcr

Remember the Gremlins -- well they showed up in VAN. Above is the list of
principal sources for the "The Duncan Family" that was published in the Feb

original list disappeared . My apologies too all for this slipup.

The family of Jacob Sarnuel ANDERSON and Lydia RANKINS
Written by : J. Mahlon ANDERSON and Darlene ANDERSON
May 1994

In an effort to sort our ANDERSON relationships from the
numerous ANDERSON households established in the Grayson County,
Virginia area (and adjoining areas of VA-TN-NC) in the early
lBOO's, we have acquire d substantial collections of family
information.
We will atte mp t to s hare organized col lections of
documented researc h to establish rel atio nships or re-establish
locations of those ANDERSON families enumerated in Census records
in the early l800's in Grayson County, Virginia .
Additional presentations will follow, as a "Compendium of
Source Materials" from collections of our research and abstracts
of other researchers work on this Family.
Documented
contributions and/o r corrections to this research effort will be
well received in an attempt to establish a complete and accurate
information resource .
This article will contain some of the history of JACOB and
LYDIA RANKINS ANDERSON . Some of this history is factual .
And,
some of this history are theories we have determined from our
resea r ch on this family . As all of us know, documentation is the
key to proving information rega rding our ancestors .
But,
sometimes we have to piece together information from several
documents to determine i f the a ncestors we locate ar e the correct
families.
We do not always locate documents that specifically
state family relationships.
In this case study, we need to
doc ument further information to prove or disprove ou r theories.
During the late 1700's, after Grayson County, Virginia was
formed, and early lBOO's we determined the following information
on JACOB ANDERSON and LYDIA RANKINS ANDERSON:
The Land Tax Records of Grayson County, Virginia show JACOB
ANDERSON paid taxes on 100 acres of land in 1799, 1800, 1801,
1802 , 1803, 1804, 1805 , 1806, 1807 , 1808, and 1810 .
We know from the Land Tax Records that JACOB ANDERSON was
the son of PETER ANDERSON , as stated in the records of 1810.
The Personal Prope rty Ta x Records of Grayson County, Virginia
show JACOB ANDERSON paid personal taxes in the years 1798, 1799,
1800 , 1801, 1802, 1803, 1804, 1805, 1806, 1807, 1809, 1810, 1811,
1812, 1813, 1814 , and 1815.

We know frorn the Personal Pr·operty Tax Reco t'ds th at JACOB
ANDERSON was referred to as "Junior" in 1798 and listed as
PETER ANDERSON's son in 1811.

The 1810 Grayson County, Vir·ginia census records show
there were two JACOB ANDERSON 's in the county during this tirr1e
period.
This source states that one of the Jacob's is a son of
P. ANDERSON.
We know from the 1810 Tax List Grayson County , Virginia
there were two JACOB ANDERSON'S in the county during this time
period.
This source states one of the Jacob's is a son of P.
ANDERSON.

Therefore, we have determined according to the Land Tax
Records, the Personal Property Tax Records and the 1810
Tax Li st for Grayson County, Virginia that we have followed
JACOB ANDERSON, the son of PETER ANDERSON, and he is the same
Jacob that married LYDIA RANKINS.

We know that JACOB ANDERSON and LYDIA RANKINS were married
March 22, 1817 in Grayson County, Virginia .
The Bond was not
f ound .
They were married by Jonathan Thomas .
l "he marriage
information we found showed a Jacob Anderson and a Sam Anderson
married Lydia on this date.
Therefore, we can determine that his
name was JACOB SAMUEL ANDERSON.
The census record for 1820 Grayson County , Virginia has,
again, enumerates two JACOB ANDERSON's living in the county
during this tim e period.
We show JACOB ANDERSON, age 45+ and has no wife .
We can
"assume" this person to be "old" JACOB ANDERSON, whose wife was
SUSANNAH
Also, in this household was one male
child between the ages of 10 to 16 years.
We show JACOB ANDERSON as head of household .
He has 2
male children under the age of 10 years, 2 male children
between the ages of 10 to 16 years, and Jacob is 45+ years old.
Also, in this household are 1 female child under the age of 10
years, 3 female children between the ages of 10 to 16 years and 1
female between the ages of 16 to 26 years .
This census period would place Jacob's birth year by 1775 .
The oldest female in this hou s ehold was born between the years
1794 t &lt;.:' 1804. We have determined Lhis -female to be LYDIA RANKINS,
a s s he a nd Jacob were married in 1817 .

Therefore, we have determined that JACOB ANDERSON was married
prior to his marr iage to Lydia .
We can also determine that most,
if not all , of the children e numerated in the 1820 census of
Grayson County , Virginia are children of his first wife .
At this
time , we have no information in regards to whom this wife might
be .
A Deed Record in Grayson County, Virginia, dat ed April 17th,
1820 , see ms to be the property JACOB ANDERSON purchased and l ater
sold o n Cl e ms Branch waters of Fox Creek.
Jacob purchase d this
property from FREDERICK ELLER , and his wife CATHARINE, for
$300.00.
Th is propert y contained 150 acres of land .
The Gray:.on County Court Order· Book shows a land transaction
This deed was proven by
JONATHAN THOMAS and HARVY ANDERSON on November 28th, 1826 .
There
was no mention of how much land or where this land is located in
this record .
f rorn JACOB ANDERSON to THOMAS ANDERSON.

According to deed records of Grayson County,
and LYDIA ANDERSON sold 60 acres on Clims Branch
LIVESAY January 30, 182 7 tor $100 . 00 .
Witnesses
transaction were : JAMES LIVESAY, THOMAS ANDERSON
ROSS.

Virg inia JACOB
to GEORGE
to this
and STEPHEN

Th e 1830 Grayson County , Virginia census record enumerates
only o n e JACOB ANDERSON living in t h e co un ty during this time
period.
We have determined this Jacob to be the same Jacob we
are wr iting about due to deed records, a nd documentation of the
gravestone o ·f "old" JACOB ANDERSON locate d on the property that
belonged to GARNET ANDERSON.
This household shows 2 males under
the age of S years , 1 male between the ages of 5 to 10 years, 2
males between the ages of 10 to 15 years and l male between the
age of 40 to SO years .
Also. in the household are 2 females
between the ages of 5 t o 10 years , l female between the ages of
10 to 15 years and one female between the ages of 20 to
30 years .
This census record would place Jacob's birth year between
1780 to 1 790.
Lydia's birth year would be between the years 1800
to 1810.
We can d etermine that between the time the 1830 census
was taken and 1835 JACOB and LYD IA ANDERSON had decided to move
their 'farnily to "greene r· pastures" .
JACOB and LYDIA ANDERSON
sold their property to JAMES MATISON NELSON consisting of 50
acres on Clams Branch on the water s of Fox C t eeh.
This property
was sold April 18, 1834 for $200.00.

The Deed Records of Grayson County, Virg in ia show a Deed of
Gift fr o m JACOB ANDERSON t o SEALEY ANDERS ON and SUSEY ANDERS ON.
This Deed of Gift is dated March 12th, 1835 and acknowledged in
Grayson County Court Marc h 2~th , 1835 by J ONATHAN THOMAS and
SHADRACK GREER.
Wit ness es to this dee d are JONATHAN THOMAS,
ANDR EW ANDERSON and HARVEY ANDERSON .
Co nsi deration is N?tyr a l
.!,._Qv~_an.s:L..6.Lf..~_&lt;;:_t_~9n_,__~Q_&lt;LJl&gt;_.~_,_Q.9. . Jacob is giving to Sealey and
Susey "two rnare, a two year old horse , five cows , two cave(?) ,
t wenty head o f shee p , eig h t hea d of hogs, ho u seho ld fu r· niture,
f~re beds and furniture, all the household furniture pots, pans,
c1llen(?), farming tools, land,
cuts , and what-ever
belong to the possession or f reE!hold".
You will note this DE:!ed
of Gi·f t mentions "land ", but does not give the exact amount of
acreage .
The 1840 Grayson County, Virginia Census Record does not
enumerate a JACOB ANDERS ON in the cou n ty for tl1i s tirne period.
We determined the most logical place to locate Jacob and
Lydia would be the counties where other ANDERSON 's families ha d
moved.
We researched the 1840 census records for the followi n g
counties: Washington Co., VA; Wythe Co . , VA; Scott Co., VA;
Smythe Co., VA; Russell Co . , VA; Sullivan Co ., TN; Hawkins Co .,
TN; and Claiborne Co., TN .
There were no Jacob Anderso n's livi n g
in these counties for this time period .
However, we did find a J ACOB ANDERSON in Lee County, Virginia
for the census of 1840.
This househol d gives u s one ma le un d er
the age of 5 years, 2 males between the ages of 5 to 10 year$, 1
male between the ages of 10 to 15, 2 males. between the ages of 15
to 20 and the head of household between the age of 60 to 70
years.
This would place t he year of birt h betwee n th e y ears 1770
to 1780.
Also, in this household is one female between t he ag e s
of 15 to 20 years, one female between the ages of 2 0 . to 30 and
one female between the ages of 40 to 50 years .
This would place
the year o·f birth betvJeen tl1e years 1790 to 1800 . ...
By the tirne the 1850 census is taken Jacob and Lydia have
moved out of Lee County, Virginia into Hancock County, Te n nessee.
Jacob is 74 yea rs old.
He would have been b or n a bo u t 17 76.
Thi s
census record shows his state of birth in Virginia .
His
occupation is listed as Wheelright.
Lydia is also in the
household.
She is 53 years old. She would have been bo rn about
1797, and he r state of birth is Virginia.
Also, in the h ouseho l d
are PETER ANDERSON , agE~ 17 and bo r r1 in Virginia.
His year o·f
birth would be about 1833 . His occupation is a Laborer.
And,
also in this household is THOMAS ANDERSON. He i s 14 years old,
and was born in Tennessee about 1836.

The 1860 Hancock County, Tennessee census record shows that
Jacob and Lydia are still living in the county .
Jacob is 83
years old .
His occupation is Cooperer .
The value of his
personal property is $10 and he states he was born in Virginia .
Lydia is also listed in the household .
She is 65 years old and
states she was born in Virginia.
Also, in this household is
ELISABET H ANDERSON , a ge 38 years , b orn in Virginia and is
e mployed as a Domesti c.
PETER ANDERSON, age 2 years , is also
enumera t ed and Was born in Virginia .
We have not made a determination as to the reJationship of
ELISABETH and PETER ANDERSON in the 1860 census record to JACOB
and LYDIA ANDERSON.
By the time 1870 comes around JACOB and LYDIA ANDERSON are no
longer in Hancock County, Tennessee.
Does this mean they have
passed on? Or, does this mean that Jacob may h av e passed on and
Lydia has moved to another location? A check of th e ANDERSON
household's in Hancock County, Tennessee did not reveal any
answers to this question.

There are still many questions to be answered regarding Lhis
family .
More research is needed to establish the identities of
Jacob and Lydia's children, whom Jacob's parents were, and the
names of his brothers and sisters .
We have established facts
regarding Jacob and Lyd i a's tax records, census records, property
rec ords and co urt records.
We have writ ten the history of JACOB
and LYDIA RANKINS ANDERSON family as we know it to be up to this
point.
we plan to co ntinue our research on this family , and other
ANDERSON families that lived in Grayson County, Virginia.
Our
hope is that those of you who have also done research on this
family will contact us so we can broaden the information on this
family and other ANDERSON families of Grayson County, Virginia.
In doing this, we feel, there will be new and exciting
i nformation to sha re with everyone .
We look forward to hearing
from each a nd every one of you.

ABRAHAM &amp; ELIZABETH NAFF BARNHART
Abraham was the third son and third child of Daniel and
Elizabeth Naff Barnhart.
Both his mother and wife were named
Elizabeth Naff.
His birth date is given as 16 Oct 1795, in
"Barnhart Fami 1 y Recor-d" by Josephus Bar-nha1~t. ( 1) The ~ame
book gives his date of death as 12 May, 1872. Census r-ecords
and the date his estate was inventoried after his death would
appear to validate this date.
I have found no official
r-ecords of either his birth or- death.
In the "Ba1T1hart Fc:'\mily Recr.Jrd" Elizabeth Naff was born
17 March 1798 and died 23 May 1882.(2) This books says her

parents were Jacob and Elizabeth Naff.
John Boitnott in
"Naff and Related Families" (3)
Agrees that she was born in
1798, but indicates that her parents were Isaac and Barbara
Naff. The birth dates coincide and are in agreement with the
age given in later census records.
It is interesting to note
that both Jacob and Isaac are brothers, and children of Jacob
and Eva Naff. Their sister is the mother of Abraham.
This
makes Abraha~ and Elizabeth first cousins.
This was not an
unusual occurrence at that time.
I would believe that due to
the sparse population the pool of available spouses was
limited.
They also were members of the Brethern Church~
who members tended to marry within that church.
·
Their marriage took place in Franklin County Virginia en
21 October 1818.(4)
The name of the minister is not shown.
George Knave was listed as surrogate.
They were the parents
of nine children.
Daniel born 8 Feb. 1819, Hannah born 12
August 1821, Jacob born 25 Sept.
1823, Rebecca born 1827,
John born 13 Feb. 1829, Abraham born 11 Nov. 1831, Elizab ~t h
born 26 Sept. 1834, George born 8 Aug. 1837 and an unnamed
son who died as an infant.
There are several sources for the
birth dates of the children.
They are shown in both "Naff
and Related Families" and "Barnhart Family Record" and there
is general agreement.
These children are also listed by name
in Abraham's will and in the sett l ement of the estates of
both Abraham and Elizabeth. All the children were born in
Franklin County.
Abraham and Elizabeth, and their children were members
of the Brethern Church. Abraham was an Elder in the church.
(5)
It is interesting to note that four of Abraham's sons
also served as Elders in the church. Abraham's brother Dan iel
was also an Elder in the church.
Census records have been found for the years 1820
through 1870 in Franklin County, Virginia.
Prior to 1850 th e
census listed only the head of household by name, other
members of the family were listed by sex in certain age
groups.
In 1820 (6), 1830 (7)~ and 1840 (8) Abraham was
listed as head of household in F r anklin Co. Va ••
No township
was listed for these years.
In the 1850 cens us (9) Abraham

�was counted with Elizabeth and three children Abraham,
Elizabeth and George.
His occupation was li s ted as farmer,
no township was listed.
The 1860 census (10) has Ab raham and
Elizabeth in the Googinsville P.O.
district of Franklin Co ..
Hi£.; o c cupci.t.ion is i;i.iven .::1s "Dunka1rd Cle1rgy1nc:\n
He h&lt;=td n"-t&lt;'.:1.1
es t.ate va lued at $1,700 and personal property of $250 . 00.
His last census record, 1870 (11), has him enumerated in
Bonbrook Township of Franklin Co.
living with Elizabeth.
His occupation was farmer and real estate value was $1~500 .
11

•

When Abraham's fathe r died he owned three parcels of
land.
Among them was a parcel of 208 acres he had purchased
from James Calloway for 100 pounds CVM (current money of
Virginia).
On 1 Feb. 1813 Abraham's brothers John and Daniel
sold their interest in this propert y to Joseph Flora fo r 100
pounds.
At that time Abraham and his sister Susannah were
still minors.
On 5 May 1817 he and his sister sold their
remaining interest to the same Joseph Flora for 100 pounds.
(12)
As the deed makes no mention of this sum being paid to
each, I assume i t was divided between them.
On 6 April 1819 Abraham bought 140 acres from his
brother John for $500 . 00 .(13)
That is the equivalent of
about $5,::::;25.00 in todays dollar·s &lt;:1.ccorr.Jing to "How Much is
that .in Real Money" by McCuske1~. (1LI·)
The 50 pounds he
received as his share from the sa le of his fathers propert y
would have equaled about $2,500.00 in todays mone y .(15 )
The
fact that a man in his early twenties had that much money
would seem to indic ates that his inheritance was substa n t ial.
George Nafe, on 13 June, 1840, sold 18 acres to Ab r aham
for $18.00.
This amounts to $4.50 per acre.(16)
There a re
two deeds involving Abraham written on 3 June, 1861.
He sold
2 1/4 acres to his nephew , John Barnhart, for $20.00.(17) and
John sold him 21/2 acres for $30.00.(18)
Both of these
parcels are alo ng Gill's Creek.
I could find no othet- recor·d of land nvmed by Ab1... al1am,
however I believe he owned other properties.
In a deed d a ted
31 Aug., 1912 his son, Abraham Jr . , sold 205 acres to his son
George, for $500.00.(20)
There is no metes and bounds
description of the p roperty, only the names of t he adjo i ni n g
p1·.. ope1rty owner·s.
The land is fu1... ther desc1... ibed C:\S "being th e
same l ands formerly owned by Abraham Barnhart Sr. and willed
by him to Abr.. aham Barnh.:1r·t."
Daniel, the fat.her· of (.~ b1·- r-.h am
Sr., owned 508 acres in Franklin County at the time of his
death.
I can find records of only 308 acres being
transferred.
Could this 205 acres been part of Dani e l ' s
estate, and thus been acquired by Abraham Sr? This is only
speculation as I have no evidenc~.
.
Abra h am died 12 May, 187 2, near Wi rtz in Fran k lin
County, where he had lived his whole life .
I ha v e no record
of his death or burial.
I would bel i eve that he is b uried i"

Vtronta A.ppalaohJan Noae

�the cemetery of the Germantown Brick Church of the Brethern,
the church that he had served as an Elder.
I have found no
stone marking his grave, but there are some older graves with
missing stones, and some illegible ones.
His wife,
Elizabeth, died 23 May 1882 .
Again, I would believe that s h e
is buried next to him, but have no document atio n.
Abraham made a will dated 3 July, 1869 and admitted to
record 2 June, 1873.
The will named his wife Elizabeth . hi s
seven surviving children, and the two children of his
·
daughter Elizabeth who had died in 1859, as heirs .
Hi s son
Abraham Jr. was named as executor.(19)
The will provid ed
that after the death of his wife, the property was to be
divided equally.
Abraham Jr-. was to "have possession of all
my land at the price of $3.50 per acr-e."
His wife was to
take such household and kitchen furnishings as she ma y deem
necessary.
An appraisal of the personal property of Abraham showed
a total of $299.32.(21)
This included $79;05 of personal
property, $178.12 in bonds and notes and $42.15 worth of
property his widow kept. At a sale held 15 Aug., 1873 a
settlement of the personal estate was filed and reco~ded
showing a total sale of $184.25~ which was distributed to the
heirs. (22)
The sale of the personal property of Elizabeth. wid ow of
Abraham, after her death netted $31.28.(23)
·
A paper filed with the Fran klin Co. Court and record ed 3
June, 1844 shows a disbursement of $11.18 to each of the
distributees.(24)
Another- paper filed with the Cou rt 7
March~ 1888 shows the same disbursement as the previous
document, and a balance of the estate of $6.72.(25)
None of these papers concerning the disbursement cf the
estate make any mention of the $3.50 per acre that Abraham
Jr. was to have to have paid the estate for his father' s
lands.
I have not found any record of this disbursement~ but
I will sear-ch for it the next time I am i n Fra nkl in Coun~y.

THE DECEASED: A woman in Cherokee County, NC.
THE BEQUEST: She left her entire estate to God.
WHAT HAPPENED: The court instructed the county sheriff to find the beneficiary. A few days later, the sheriff returned and submitted his report:

Ancestors who seared to have disappeared in the 1850s may tum up in the 1850
California state census. over 50,000 people traveled overland to the goldfields, while more ventured there by ship. The 1852 State Census of California
is especially valuable as it asked for the person's residence . Most answered
with the name of the state fran which they came. By 1855, 23,000 of these
people had moved on or returned to their former hares.

KEEPING THE ONCE LOST FRCM GETTING LOST AGAIN, by Richard Andre
One of the m::&gt;st rewarding sidelights of the genealogical hobby is the discovery
of the last resting place of our long departed ancestors .
It is sanehow sad to consider that many old graves are unmarked and often times
it is only through our reseaarch that their location beccrres known.
The writer has discovered at least five in his own -family line that were either
unmarked or the original stones have eroded away.

What can we do to assure that future researchers will be able to find and
identify these graves?
Any individual can usually see that a rood.est stone is cut and placed on an unmarked grave once the person is sure of his fact.
Most m::in~t carpanies, especially small struggling ones, will sell a sirm;&gt;le
flat granite headstone for less than $50. Note I specify granite because it
is tim:!less, and scoundrels will steal bronze markers. You must consider that
the well-cared-for caretery you see today may be left to fend for itself in a
hundred years or so. Do not choose an upright stone because it will eventually
fall or be pushed over.
Now here is a simple tip . The installation of a small headstone, say 50 or 60
lbs., is very easy! Just buy a 90 lb . bag of sakrete- dig a hole about 6 inches
deep exactly the size of the sakrete bag-place the bag in the hole and cut out the
top of the bag. Lay the headstone exactly on top of the exposed sakrete and I
guarantee roother nature wi 11 do the rest . The rain and natural darrq;&gt;ness wi 11
solidify the sakrete and the new headstone will have a good solid foundation.

Dear Mrs . Fowler :
The last issue of VAN , February 1994, published The Duncan
Family, prepared by Mary Frances Duncan Bridgeso
I believe
a clarification as to source is in ordero
The section on George and Elizabeth (Morricle) Duncan (I- 2)
and the section on Blanch Duncan Jro , and Mary (Morricle) D'.mcan
(I- 5) were taken with minor changes from my book, The Morricle
Family (198J)o The personal information on Malachi Duncan,
Rhoda Duncan, Mary Morricle Duncan, as well as that on other
family members, was copied verbati m from my booko
I would appreciate your publishing this clarification in
the next issue of VAN o Many thankso
Sincerely yours,
.

the inclosure, locks, etc. of the Presbyterian Church, or anything pertaining
thereto, he shall be fined in a sum not exceeding Five Dollars, and the master of
any apprentice or slave so offendi ng, shall be liable for such fine, and it is
furthermore ordered that a similar fine be inflicte on any person or persons
hitching a horse, or horses, to the inclosure around the church. (Botetourt Co,Va)

As we look forward to the new year, we wish you success 1n your genealogical
research projects. The Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society values your
membership and your participation in the activities of the society. Your executive

Our membership for 1994 is increasing. A number of people joined for both
1993 and 1994 in order to have complete sets of issues of the VAN.
I would like to appeal to our members who live in the Roanoke area to become
more involved in the society. We need volunteers to serve in a variety of capacities in
the society in 1994. We need your attendance at our meetings and your suggestions
for prog-ams.
We recently received copies of Orderly Book of Colonel Henry Bouquet's_
Expedition, 1764 and Jacob Parkhurst's. Sketches of Jacob Parkhurst. 1772-1863.
Mr. Monroe Stewart of Monroe. Louisiana made these copies available to us and they
have been µfaced in the Virginia Room at the Roanoke City Library. Many thanks to
Mr. Stewart.
Please let us know if you have suggestions as to how the society can serve you
better.
Sincerely.

5 January 1994
Dear VGS Member:
The enclosed is part of the lead article for the January-February newsletter. You are being
asked to help mount a campaign to preserve Virginia's heritage, the records in which you so
avidly pursue your research . The Virginia State Archives is the repository for all state records
including land patents and grants, military certificates, Confederate pensions, tax records and
other documents that record our state's history and our ancestors' lives. For years counties have
voluntarily sent their original records to the Archives to insure their preservation. These records,
still in the boxes they came in, still covered with dust, are stacked in the aisles, inaccessible,
slowly eaten away by acid, crumbling into dust.
Budget restraints and overseers more concerned with other matters have contributed to this
neglect. But, we are also to blame, for we have al lowed it to happen. We need legislative action
if we are going to stop the destruction of our history. You are asked to contact your legislators,
in writing, by fax, by phone or in person. Let them know that you are vitally concerned about
the future of your state's history. Let them know that you expect them to safeguard the records
of the past.
During the current session you legislators can best be reached by writing them at the
addresses below. (Your local library can supply their names if you don't know them.)

The Archives, our history, our heritage, needs your help now. Please take the time to help
us preserve these records.

�The Virginia State Archives: A Treasure in Trouble
Sparked by rumors of deficits and further budget cuts, a group of concerned Archives
users recently investigated the current and future status of the institution . We're researchers ;
finding answers is our business. And , "find out" we did. It isn't a pretty picture.
Although the title of the institution is the Virginia State Library and Archives, 1t 1s tn
reality two institutions with separate and unequal status under the direction of the State
Librarian. On one side is the Archives; on the other, the State Library.
VSLA Task Force recommendations for a $3,000,000 addendum budget to be submitted
to the Legislature included only $100,000 for the Archives. [For non-mathematicians, that
means that one out of every thirty dollars would go to the Archives.]
For fiscal years 1992-93 and 1993-94, the Archives received only 11% of the entire 2.3
million dollar budget for the Virginia State Library and Archives.
A mere $7000 was allotted in the last budget for continued conservation and restoration
of original documents. There is no conservation specialist.
The Archives presently requires 57,000 cu. ft. of storage space. It will be allotted 27,000
cu. ft. in the new VSLA building. Press releases of the ground breaking for the new
building state ''two stack floors" will be used for storing archival materials. In fact Yi of
one floor will be devoted to archival storage.
There are enormous archival holdings that include county court records, solicited by the
Archives from the county court clerks, that have not been inventoried, preserved, or made
available to the public. They continue to be inaccessible to those persons who have
legitimate research interest in these holdings.
Worse yet, there are no plans to inventory or preserve these records. As unprocessed
records they are destined to be stored off-site at a warehouse. These include, but are not
limited to, county loose papers and original volumes, tax records, original state papers,
military records, land records, the list is endless.
What can be done? The legislature and the governor allocate the funds and set policy .
But we bear the final responsibility; for they are our elected officials. They respond to our
concerns. To institute change, we must be heard, not one of us, not some of us, but all of us .
If we all, each and every one of us, let our legislators and the governor know that we want
funding for· preservation and all of the manuscl'ipt records to remain in one place and
accessible, we will be heard!
But we all have to speak to be heard. Let your local historical and genealogical society
know that the Archives needs their support. Ask them to join you in the campaign. If we
don't, in the words of the current overseer, "Virginians will find their documentary heritage in
irreversible jeopardy by 2007, the Commonwealth's 400th Anniversary."

�Search for Arnariah Phares, Revolutionary War Soldier
of Franklin and Floyd Counties
1

Three years ago, I never heard of Amariah Phares •
All I
knew, was that my father said his great-grandmother Epperly was "a
Ferris of English blood" and that is all he knew about this family.
He knew that his great-grandfather John Epperly served in the War
of 1812 .
With these few clues, data from John Epperly's War of 1812
file, and a lot of searching, I found that his wife Nancy's name
was spelled "Phares" and that Arnariah Phares was listed as the
f ather on their Montgomery Co. marriage bond.
One day while
looking through some New Jersey Archives data, I found that an
Amariah Phares was married to Sarah Van Zandt and also that he was
listed on page 718 of Stryker's List of Jerseymen in the
Revolution . 2 I wasn't sure that it was the same person , but how
many people are named Arnariah? I looked in the 1810 census and
didn ' t find him at first until, again by accident, I found that
"Emeriah Fares" lived in Montgomery County in 1810 and an "Emerica
Pharis" in 1820.
My guess was that this was "Amariah Phares " .
Widow's pension file from the National Archives, W5541 verified
that Amariah Phares of Middlesex Co., New Jersey was truly my
ancestor .
The uncirculated book, "John &amp; Laura " written by Wi l liam C .
and Eugena Agee (formerly of Riner, VA) verified my d ata a nd
provided additional family information . The Agee's sent me a copy
of the war record from the New Jersey Archives which has much more
detail than is in Stryker's Book .
They also sent me information
regarding his first marriage to Sarah Van Zandt.
Elizabeth was his second and surviving wife. Amari ah marri e d
Sarah Van Zandt in 1780 in the State of New Jersey . She died a nd
their infant daughter was adopted by Amariah ' s brother when he we n t
to Franklin Co. Amariah gave his brother 20 pounds to pay f or his
daughter's education. He married Elizabeth Beheler , daughter of
David Beheler in 1791.
She could speak no Eng l i s h a nd he c o uld
speak no German at the time.
Amariah was a school teacher and according to a l e t ter fr om
his daughter Nancy, was well educated and always had a tea c hing
position waiting for him.
Amariah Phares served in several
New J e rsey uni ts .
His
widow, Elizabeth Beheler applied for his pens i on in Floyd County,
Virginia on the 24th of November , 1840.
She t hought he was a
Sergeant Major, but if he was, there is n o known v eri f icat ion of
this.

Don't be surprised to see "Amaz iah " in some boo ks. This is in error.
One archive record has cursive "AmaRiah" and the c a pi tal "R" l ooks a little like

Here is a transcription of the New Jersey archives rec ord:

months; discharged February 23, 1779.
At the date of enlistment in the Continental Line, place of

light complexion; light eyes; brown hair.

I note that the widow's pension appli cation is difficult to
read, but I have managed to transcribe it if anyone is interested.

I have since joine d the Sons of the Revolution (SAR) based
upon Amariah's service. As far as I can determine, I am the first
person to join any society based upon his service .

I have noticed errors in some genealogy books about the origin

Usual ly they don't know that the fami ly
lived in Frederick Co., MD prior to three brothers (Jacob,
Christian &amp; George) moving to Montgomery Co . (Floyd) in 1791, or
they don't know that Christian was Jacob and George' s brother. To
complete the picture, it is necessary to have the following data:

1857 Incorporating said Company would respectfully represent to your
Hon ' ble Body that owing to the 4th Section of said Act directing the
Board of Public works to cause to be surveyed the best route for said

their engineers upon roads previous l y authorized by Laws, it has been
impossible to make arrangements to commence the making sa id road within
the time prescribed by the Act prescribing certain General regulations
for the incorporation of Turnpike Companies " Your Petitioners would
therefore resp ectfully beg Your Hon ' ble Body to allow a further time to
begin said road as long as your Hon'ble Body in its discretion shall
deem best &amp; as in duty &amp; we will ever pray

Emory Altizer, Daniel Booth, Ferguson Booth, Alexander McAlexander and
Samuel Thompson who having met upon the land of George Hornbarger have
proceeded to examine the land above and below and are of an opinion that
the land of no person will be damaged nor the mansion house or the Office
curtilege or Garden thereunto immediately belonging or orchard will be
overf1.owed by erecting a dam, and we are of an opinion that the passage of
fish will be obstructed, and may be prevented by building a slope across
the dam in the main part of the current, the Slope to be JO feet long and
10 feet wide with side pieces 6 inches wide. And we are also of an opinion
that ordinary navigation will not be obstructed."

Or sane other arrangement.
Of all the arrangements, the LDS one seems most useful to genealogists , for it
can only be interpreted one way, and is reasonably short. However , will it
permit computers to record various items in chronological order? And does FEB
offend genealogists using other languages?
During this decade, we should try to standardize this matter , at l east forgenealogists. What is needed is a method that is acceptable in all countries
where genealogy is an active hobby. Think it over and write a letter expressing your preference and mail it to the Editor of Families , Ontario Genealogical Society, suite 251, 40 Orchard View Blvd., Toronto , Ontario M4R 1B9

Dear Fellow Genealogists,
Best wishes to you as you are researching your family history
this summer.
I trust that the courthouses and libraries are air
conditioned and that your work is successful.
Al though the society does not sponsor summer meetings, we
continue to work to provide services to our members .
We will
resume our monthly meetings in September . Please let us know how
we might serve you better.
We still are in need of people willing to do volunteer work
for the society.
Let one of the officers know if you are
i nterested .

Capt. Lowe was suddenly called East to see bis sick mother last week.
The Capt. and his family
have our sympathy.
By the careless handling of powder by a foreman on Stuart and
McGraw's section of the Clinch Valley R. R. in Russell county, six men were so
severe ly burned that death is likely to occur to all. William Crewey, a young
man from this town, has already died, and no hope is entertained for the other
flve.
It seems the foreman had "sprung a hole," and at once commenced to charge
it with powder.
He had emptied a keg and a half into the drill, and had sixteen
other kegs opened, and placed conveniently around, when t he whole was ignited by
a part of the burning fuse, used i n "springing the hole." These are the chief
facts. yet to get all the particulars is difficult.
TWO OLD CITIZENS DEAD. - We are greatly pained to chronical the
death, last week, of two worthy old citizens. The first, in point of time, was
John Whitman, who had been a citizen of town and vicinity for forty or fifty
years. His age was about eighty-six years.
He came to Tazewel l when quite a young man, where he spent his prime
age, and declining years, and died honored and respected by all.
Mr. Whitman was the father of the good wives of Wm . O. Yost , Es. E. L .
Whitley and John H. Whitley, and of William 0. and James Whitman.
The other death was that of Chapman A. Spotts, Esq., of Indian Creek. aged
about 85 years .
Mr. Spotts came to Tazewell from Washington county, we believe, and settled
in the Richlands, near the place of his death. - - He had been blind for a number
of years, - - -.
I t is now given out that her "sickness was unto death."

DENTISTS
Early dentists were smiths. Richard Locke Hapgood, in his ~-ist;_o_~~°-~
the Harvard Dental School, discussing dentistry in colonial America, says ,
"The goldsmith, tinsm ith, or blacksmith was the typical dentist in those
days, and in most cases, his dental work was carried on simultaneously with
and as a minor part of his usual vocation ." Paul Revere was a dentist . On
Augu st 29, 1768, his advertisement appeared in the ~-o_s_1:._on ~-~e_1:._1:._e__&lt;!_n_~_Cou_1!._1:1:Lo~~l' as follows:
"Whereas many Persons are so unfortunate as to lose their Foreteeth by
Accident, and otherways, to their great Detriment, not only in Looks, by
speaking both in Public and Private: -"This is to inform all such, that they may have them replaced with
false Ones, that looks as well as the Natural, and answer the End of Speaking to all Intents, by Paul Revere, Goldsmith, near the Head of Dr. Clarke ' s
Wharf, Boston. All Persons who have had false Teeth fixt by Mr. John Baker,
Surgeon-Dentist, and they have got loose (as they wil l in time) may have
them fastened by the above, who learnt the Method of fixing them from Mr.
Baker."

DIVORCE LAW
Passed March 18, 1848
1.
••• •••••.•.•• . And whereas applications to the legislature for divorces
'a vinculo matrimonii ' are becoming frequent, and occupy much time in their
consideration, and moreover involve investigations more properly judicial in
their nature, and ought, so far as this legislature can do it , be referred to
the judicial tribunals of the state : Therefore,
2.
'Be it enacted by the general assembly', That the circuit superior
courts of law and chancery side thereof, shall have jurisdiction to hear and
determine suits for the dissolution of marriage, where the cause therefor is
adultery; and in such suits to decree a divorce from the bonds of matrimony,
with liberty to both par ti es thereafter to marry, or with liberty to the
innocent or injured party to marry , and deny it to the guilty party :
( The rest of the act gives the whys and wherefors of the process of obtaiing a
divorce. Up to this time, a petition for a divorce was presented to the general assembly and most of the time a divorce was not granted. Usually we go
to only the one court - now try the records of the other courts .)
from "Acts of the General Assembly of Virginia: 1848-9 ", p 165- 7.

OUR PEOPLE WERE SCOTCH - IRISH
contributed by
Nelson Eddy
Scotch - Irish is a name given to the people who migrated to Ireland
from Scotland because of many abuses and deprivations suffered in their
homeland by political and religious dif'ficulties. These Scots migrated
to Northern Ireland by the thousands in the year of 1500 . In fact there
were about 10,000 Scots who went to Ulster durning 1606 to 1612 and this
type of trend continued for a number of years after.
The Scottish people were very clannish and they lived very much to themselves in Ireland. They were all Presbyterians and they accepted their
religious beliefs seriously. They were often guilty of causi ng reli~
gious intolerance.
The Scottish people were a proud people and a proud race by having a
rule within themselves that there would be no one mixing of the races
of Scots and Irish. All marriages were within their own race and this
vow was completely accepted and faithfully observed.
When these people migrated to Northern Ireland they were soon very unhappy in Ireland because they found that it was no better living there
than it was in their homeland. They took advantage of the opportunity
to migrate to America early in the 1770's and since they came Ireland
and they were Scottish they were given the nickname of Scot-Irish a
name which still identifies them as a group of American pioneers .
Added to the problems of their religious and political persecutions were
the problems of a six year drought , a smallpox epidemic, a slack in the
linden and woolen trade, high food costs , failure of the potato crop,
high rent, which cause a great anxiety and unrest with the Scottish
people.
These people were a stout-hearted and a very adventuresome sort of people and they were not afraid of anything or anybody . They were just
typical frontiersmen in the early settling of America . The Scot-Irish
people were a very bold and courageous , democratic and to the point of
lawlessness people. They were very individualistic, squatter and a
hater of the Indians here in America. They were a chronic opponent to
established order as they came from a border where raids, feuds and
petty warfare had been the rule.
The Scot-Irish played a vigorous part in the America Revolution seeking
their freedom that they had so wanted when they left their homeland for
America. They established a l ot of s·mall colonies like in Pennsylvania
where pacificist sentiments of Quakers, German Sectarians were strong ,
this no doubt prompted the alignment with the patriot cause and were
perhaps a decisive importance in their cause for freedom. The ScotIrish peoples tenacity, firmness, and determination along with his
courage and self-reliance had helped him to make a notable record in
the political leadership for which the group as a whole seems to have a
remarkable capacity for.

V1rliDJa .Appalaohtan NotM

�Here in America these Scot- Irish were leaders and builders. These people
would secure a frontier fro~ danger and they stood firm for their principles. These pure blood Scots who came here in the beginning were not
a part nor did they like t o be known as a part of the Irish people who
came to America. When their migration to America in the early 1700's
by way of as many as 54 ships at a time which arrived in New York from
both Ireland and England and even a greater number had came to the
ports of Delwa.r e , Maryland and South Carolina.
It i s guessed that at the time of the Revolution that there were one
third of all t he colonist who were Scot-Irish, and in Boston t he remark
was ma de "Why the confounded Scotch-Irish will eat us up." These ScotIrish people were well known to be a strong-hearted people and they were
very hard to get along with at times as they seem to cause friction with
their neighbor~ mostly because of their religious doctrines plus a few
other s mall matters. They did not seem to get along with the settlers
in the north and east parts of Pennsylvania and they packed up and all
moved to the s outh part of the state into a clan like group around York
and Gettys burg known as in part the "Manor of the Maske'' and they were
in no humor to give up anything.
By far the most prominent Scotch-Irish settlement in York County was the
"Marsh Creek Settlement , " which is presently the town of Gettysburg is
the center. As it was the policy to push the Scotch-Irish to the frontier, and as the land at the foot of South Mountainfesembled to some
extent that of their homeland and Ireland. It wa&amp;'°'only natural that
many of the early s ettlers should take lands in this locality. 'Iltls
name of this settlement is taken from the Marsh Creek, a small stream.
This district has given to the County of York many men of prominence in
civil and military leadership. Called upon in their early history to
do active service against the Indians, they became adjusted to all sorts
of hardships, and thus became throughly self-dependent and aggress·i ve
people .
Among s ome of the early settlers of the Marsh Creek section now known
as the "Manor of the Maske" were four men known as John Eddy Sr., John
Eddy Jr, , William Eddy and Samuel Eddy. In this list the names of McLean stands for McClellan; McCain for McKean; McFarson for McPherson;
Hooswich for Hosack and Eddy for Edie.
In 1765, a compromise was affected through the agency of 'lhomas Agnew
and Robert McPherson, who acted as a committee for the settlers, which
s ecured for them the concession that the lands taken prior to 1741
should be sub ject t o the "common terms" the boundaries of the manor and
were there marked upon in 1766. This land consisted of some forty three
thousand five hundred acres instead of the thirty thousand acres originally intended. The tenn "Marsh Creek Settlement" has been applied to
all the settlers (S cotch-Irish ) within the Manor of Maske. There was,
however, another settlement, known as the Great Conewago Settlement,"
which was some miles to the east of Gettysburg, and near the town originated by Capt. D:i.vid Htmter, which bears his name (Huntertown) . So
closely and initmately were the people of these two settlements connected in all manners of historical interest, that in speaking of the Marsh
Creek Settlement the Great Conewago Settlement is included. This same

relationship also existed with all the Scotch-Irish settlement in Augusta County , Virginia . Which is possible the an~wer as to why our family
came from out of Virginia . One must remember that at this time that
this area was all known as the Virginia Territory .
General George Washington once said , " I:f defeated everywhere el se I
will make my last stand for liberty among Scotch-Irish of my native
Virgi nia ." One of the famous forces was the Pennsylvania line , and
these men were all Ulster Scot-Irish to a man . The position of the
Scot-Irish in the new world was a peculiar and unusual one . They alone ,
of all races, were present in sufficient numbers in all New Engl and to
make their influence felt , and they alone had a uniform religion and
had experienced persecution of both church and state in both Scotland
and Ireland. They previ ously had been denied liberty, bot h civil and
religious which are common heirs to democratic principles of f r eedom
for which they were searching. Many believe that the strong stand of
the Scotch-Irish on these principles not only set the revoluti on in
motion but determined to a great extent the form of government adopted.

This is to inform your organization of the historic Federal Land
Records at the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Eastern states
office, and their availability.
The Eastern States is one of the largest land title offices in
the world, housing the original patents and supporting title
documents for lands that were part of the original "Public
Domain" of the . United States in 1789. In 1812 the General Land
Office (GLO) was created to administer the district land offices,
land sales, issuances of warrants and grants, collection of land
sales monies, and the maintenance of land records.
Eastern States houses the Secretary of Interior's copies of more
than 5 million title documents that date from 1787 to the present
for the original public domain states and many western states.
Often t h e information contained in the GLO records is needed
before a search can be conducted at the National Archives and
Re cords Administration centers. Our records are available for
public use .
In 1989 the GLO Project began automating the Homestead and cash
Patents issued before July 1, 1908.
Patents for the states of
Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis sissippi ,
and Wisconsin are autQm~ted . The remaining Public Domain States
a re scheduled for completion by 1998.
Upo n y our requ est the Eastern States will provide information
a bout t he Project and how to set up a GLO user's account, a
video, an~ a speaker at yo~r convenience. We also encourage your
organi z ation t o p l an a visit to Eastern States to view the
automation proces s and search the records.
We hope thi s info rmation is of assistance to you. Please feel
free to contac t me at (703) 440-16 8 5 if further assistance is

DID YOU KNOW THAT-- The Church of England was very much a part of the local government of our country in its early days. The sheriff conducted a mass meeting of
"Freeholders and Housekeepers" which elected twelve men t o serve as Vestrymen. To
qualify, they were required to be freeholders ; residents of the Parish; and must
take an oath "to be conformable to the doctrine and discipline of the Church of
England." The several duties of the Vestry weres '!he levying and collecting of
a tax on all citizens; The building and maintenance of a ll Church buildings and
Glebe lands; The paying of the Minister's salary; The care of the poor; The marking of property boundaries; The settlement of property disputes; the investigation
of all moral offences; To report to the civil authorities all offenders and
criminals; etc.

�TAX LI STS IN THE UNI TED STATES
by E B Fau l coner
Genealogical Helper, Jan 1974, p3
(Taken from the " Genealogical Society Observer" , Oct 1972, Vol VII I, #10 ,
published by the Genealogical Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints , Salt Lake Citr, Utah . )
Did your great-grandfath er own a bi ll ard table? How many wheeled carriages and metal stoves did he have'? The answers to these quest ions might
be found in the early tax lists . These records are not very glamorous but
searching them can be fun. Tax lists often are neglected because their
genealogical value is not appreciated.
Tax lists are maintained at the federal, state &amp; county levels of government. With few exceptions , such as the " US Direct Tax of 1798," federal tax
lists are almost nonexistent until WW I , &amp; can be e limin ated as a genealogical source before that time. Therefore, county &amp; state lists constitute the
most valuable genealogical source . Most tax lists were alphabetized to some
extent when they were compiled , but some were not &amp; are completely unindexed.
The best way to locate these records is to search under the state 8 county in
the card catalog for "Tax Lists. " Also , look under " US Taxation " for federal
&amp; miscellaneous lists.
Probably the earliest US tax list is the "US Direct Tax List of 1798."
This list records the tax levied on 16 colonial states . Partial lists are
known to be extant for Ga, Md, Mass. &amp; Pa . A pamphlet by the National Arch ives, "US Direct Tax of 1798: Tax Lists for the State of Pa " (974.8/A6t),
names the Custod ians of known extant lists . The Gen 'ical Soc . has the list
for Md on microfilm (499,893 to 499,905); however , the list is not alphabetized and parts are not legible . These list s contain the name of the occupant 8 owner, location of the property &amp; No . of acres, No. of buildings,
value &amp; taxes levied . Some plantations carried such distinctive names as
" Winchesters Folly" &amp; "Thacker ' s Adventure . "
Tax lists help to fill the 10-yr gap between federal censuses. They provide the names of occupants &amp; landowners, dates &amp; places of residence, &amp; surname spelling variations. Ownership of land in more than one county plus
dates of arrival &amp; departure from a community may be i ndicated. Clues to
relationships &amp; dates &amp; places of death frequently are given.
For example,
if a man's name suddenly stops appearing in the tax lists, but the same
property is listed under a woman ' s name, the researcher could assurme that
the man died &amp; hiswife is listin g the property. This procedure would lead
to a search of the probate and land records to prove the assumption.
Tax records were usua l ly begun soon after the county was created, but
the records may or may not be extant now .
The format &amp; content of tax lists vary greatly for the counties &amp; states
of t he US. Personal property &amp; land may be combined in one list or may be
listed separately . Tax lists usually contain the day, month, 8 yr the tax
entry was made; name &amp; residence of the taxpayer; amt of land or list of
personal property &amp; its value; the No. of free white tithabl es (persons)
over 21 yrs of age; &amp; a list of the No., of slaves , livestock , &amp; buildin gs.
Some tax records provide good clues to the location of land by indicating
the watercourse upon which it is located, distance from the County
courthouse, &amp; names of the adjoining property owners. Many lists include a
column headed " Alt erations. " This means changes made on the property within
the past tax year. This column shows additions &amp; removals of buildings,
plu s sales &amp; transfers of property, &amp; deaths which occurred during the vear,

REV. (ELDER) JOHN LAWRENCE AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS
By Ora Belle McColman- a great, great, great , greet
grandaughter and William L. Lawrence
Elder John Lawrence, b. 1739 in Connecticut (according to information from
DAR He2dquarters) served in the First Regiment of Militia, commanded by Col .
Jacobus Swarthout , in Dutchess County, New York.
He began preaching in the Pawling Baptist Church in 1770, and was pastor
of a church organized before the Revolution, according to The History of Dutchess
County, N.Y. by fr ank Ha5brouck , published in 1909 . From the History of Putnam
County, New York by Wi lliam S. Pelletreau , AM, published in 1885. "The Kent and
Fishkill Baptis t Church . . . appears to have been constituted in 1782 . The
organization was composed of members forming a branch of the Pawling and Beekman
churches, and also some from the Carmel Church . Elder John Lawrence, having the
pastoral charge over the Pawling and Beekman Church , was instrumental in establishing this church in Frederickstown . He frequently preached in this vicinity in
private houses, and particularly in the upper part of the grist mill i n Milltown
(now Farmer's Mills), previous to the organization of the church and became its
first pastor."
Prior to September 27, 1785, he with his family and other families from New
York, migrated to Montgomery County , VA where he was l i censed to perform
marriages in Montgomery County . (Order Book No . 1, p . 232) .
Cb Augus t 10, 1787, Richard Whitt for 150 pounds conveyed to John Lawrence a
tract of l and containing 68 Acres on Meadow Creek , a branch of New River.
(Deed Book A, pg. 454).
In History of the Rise and Prcg pess of the Baptists in Virginia by Robert B.
Semple, published by the Author in 1810 in Richmond, VA we read :
"Meadow Creek Church
Was formed, partly out of members who moved hither from the ftate of New York ,
;;i,nd partly of natives. Rev. John Lawrence became their paftor. He had been
a minifter, for many years, in the ftate of New York; was an eminent fervant of
Chrift, and pious and fenfible man. His labours were not very much bleffed after
he moved to Virginia. Some difturbance happening in the church , and Mr . Lawrence
being obvioufly in dotage, was rather indifcreet in efpoufing one of the parties ,
fo as to give fome discontent to the body of the church: in confequence of which
added to his incapacit y through do tage and infirmities, the church difmiffed him
from his paftoral charge. Sodm after, he was taken ill , and God difmiffed him
to the church triumphant. He was eighty years of age when he died. After his
difmiffion, elder Howard preached for them ftatedly, and God poured out his
fpirit upon them. The church increafed from fixteen to fixty four. Elder
Howard, through infirmity, is not able to vifit t hem ft atedly , as formerly;' but
he attends them occafionally and adminifters the ordinances. Robert Simpkins is
a l i cenfed preacher in the bounds of this church. "
Vil'C1D1&amp; Appalachian Notes

�John Lawrence (would have been John Lawrence, Jr . ) and Jam=s Simpkins (Elder
John Lawrence ' s son- in-law) were trustees of the "Regular Baptist Church of
Meadow Creek" when John Winter deeded land to them on 2 February l802. The
church was probably meeting in a home or another location prior to this as
Elder John Lawrence died between May, and October 1801.
Recorded in Montgomery County Deed Book: "This deed made this 12th day of
August 1903, between Wm. H. Altizer, Gordon Dobbins and J. F. Graham, Trustees
of Meadow Creek Primitive Baptist Church, parties of the first part and W. T.
Riner and George Williamson, parties of the second part. Witnesseth: That
for and in consideration of the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars in hand
paid the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the pa1i"ties of the first
part in the capacity of trustees of the said church grant, and convey with
special warranty unto the par ties of the second part, the Old Meadow Creek
Church and lot and appurtenances belonging thereto, situated in Montgomery
County, VA about 6 1/2 miles SW of Christiansburg, the lot containing 1 1/2
acres and is bounded as follows: Beginning at a large red oak on the east
side of the road corner to William Sarles land , and running with east side
of the road S 18 degrees, W. 18 poles to a stake, thence leaving the road
S. 53 E. 12 1/2 poles to a stake, thence N. 25, E. 18 poles to a stake,
thence N 55, W 15 1/4 poles to the beginning, and is known as the Old Meadow
Creek Church, and the trustees also convey all water rights and privileges as
may belong to the said Church property or such as are mentioned in the deed.
Witness the following signatures, seals and date above written , W. R. Altizer,
Gordon Dobbins and J. F. Graham."
The writer (now 75), remembers the old Meadow Creek Primitive Baptist Church
the surrounding cemetery, with surrounding large oak trees which stood on the
east side of Rt. 693, 1 1/2 miles from intersection of Rts . 693 and 658. Just
when the church and cemetery disappeared, the writer is not sure, but both were
there as late as 1935 as the school bus went by the church. She remembers that
there were a number of large tombstones, as well as at least three above-the
ground vaults . Please note the above deed of sale makes no mention of the
cemetery. Now (1992) , the only thing remaining of this church and cemetery are
a few decaying oak trees. It is now a part of a sheep grazing farm belonging to
Jake Shelburne.

If Harman and his friend s got

ICE AND SNOW
In my research I have run across many unusual names but I think the one I
recently found in Beers 1882 "History of Clinton County, Ohio" is the most
unusual of all.
On page 824, under the heading of Grove Cemetery, Wayne Township, is the
following listing : Ice and Snow died April 29, 1860, aged 79 years, 2
months, 16 days . Mary, wife of Ice and Snow, died July 8, 1864, aged 78
years, 4 months and 4 days .
Mrs Nelson L Wadsworth, 5447 SR 380, Wilmington, Ohio 451 77
from The Genealogical Helper, January 1974.
(Note: Ran across this while going through some articles. He also had relatives (brothers?) named Frost Snow and Hail Snow. Ice and Snow and Frost Snow
can be found in Henry Co (I think) -- Hail Snow -- southwest Virginia. bf)

TYPED ENVELOPES - will reach addresses one day earlier than
handwritten ones!
The optical scanner that reads the envelopes
starts at the bottom and reads the Zip Code first.
If you use
"ATTN" at the bottom left side of the envelope , it will be kicked
out by the scanner and held until a human eye can sort it . Mail
will reach its destination at least a day sooner if you use Zip
Codes.
Keep these helpful hints in mind when you are addressing
your next letter.

LEGISLATIVE PETITION
for GILES COUNTY, VIRGINIA

The citizens of Pearisburg and its vicinity would humbly represent that they
are situated some seventy five miles distant from the plaster banks and Salt
works in the County of Smyth and that they have been accustomed for the last
fiew years to procure from the said works a general supply of salt for the
common and ordinary purposes of life . That from the distance and impassable
state of the road over wh i ch they have to travel to and from the place afore said It must be apparent to all that articles so important to the agricultur ist and every member and class of society when brought here is furnished at a
pr ic e far exceed in g its intrinsic value The road at t his time of the year is
in suc h condi tion that a good team will with much d iffic ulty draw from the
the banks and works about one ton* of eit h er of the aforesaid articles where ~s
if the road was in good :':--ctit ion the same team would readi l y and easily
haul twice that quantity. The--i.7ndersigned would further represent that the
time is not far distant when the turnpike from the Red Sulphur Springs in the
County of Monroe to Newbern will be in succes sful operation and that the Cum berland Gap turnpike now under contract will soon be compleated the contigu ity of both of which improv ement s is about forty-five miles d istant at the
nearest po i nt f rom the said banks and salt works that an improvement in the
road from Cap t Shannon • s on Wall{ers Creek to the places aforesaid wi 11 be
of immense and inc a lculable advantage to the citizens of the County of Giles
as well as those of the Counties of Mercer Green:':_____ and and Monroe as they
a r e now acc ustomed and necessarily compelled to furnish themse l ves with the
a rticl es of Gyps u m from the Holstein Banks particu ( :'; ink spots)
page 2
larly when it is remembered t hat a part of the said road is almost in an impassable condition and added to which fact they wi ll soon be subjected to the
payment of tolls on that part of the turnpike running by Capt Shannon' s the
point above des i gna ted for the commencement of the aforesaid improvement and
t hat too upon waggons that cannot haul mor e than half a load over the said
road passing fr om the designated point of aforesaid to the said Banks and
wor ks in the county of Smyth both of which facts Khen taken into considera tion must augment rather than less en t o the Consumer in the foregoin g coun ties of Giles , Mercer, Monroe and Greenbrier the price of the said articles
of plaster and Salt : The undersi gned believe and are satisfied of the fact
that when the Cumberland Gap improvemen t i s finis h ed and is under Successful
operati on that Citi zens generall y o f the County of Botetourt will supply
themselves with plast e r from the Holstein Banks in the event the improvement
asked for s hall be granted . The undersigned are satisfied of the fact that
of the road from Shannon' s to the Salt works and the Plaster Banks was improved and put and kept in good Condition but it wou l d greatly reduce the
pr ice of salt and plaster to the Citizens of the County aforesa id and bring
them into succe ssful compet ition with the Liver-pool salt and the Nova Scotia
p l aster particul arly in th e latter art icl e as the fact is estab l ished tha t
the Hol stein plaster is worth $5 more in the ton than tha t imported from Nova
Scotia. The fact b eing demonstrable that if the improvement in the road so
much desired was e ffec ted that the price of the articles of salt and plaster
would be grea tly reduced
page 3
to the Citizens of the Counties aforesaid and it must be conc eded that it

Virginia Appalachian Notes

�would bring into more general use the commodity of Plaster . The undersigned
conceive that the Citizens living on the road between John Kirk ' s (n ear the
forks of Walkers Creek in the County of Giles) 8 the b anks and Works are onerously taxed with labour in keeping the Said road in its present and ge ner a l
repair There would be some incentive to the citizens livin g upon that road to
keep it in good repair or in such ord er and condition as could be some con sistent with justice and convenience of the travelling upon the same would in
the end remanerate them for the labour there extended but unfortunat e ly such
is not t he fact . The road is but little travelled save by plaster and salt
waggons and then the drivers and houses are supplied with provisions and provended by their respective owners .
The undersigned wish not to be consider as unworthy the patronage of your
honorable body they concieve that they are entitled to the notice the protection and generosity of the Legislature of their native State they concieve
and do declare that for their means and facil iti es they have done more for
the improvent of the roads lying within the limits of their County , than any
people in the Commonwealth and when their resources are exhausted they hope
and believe that the Legislature of this venerable Commonwealth will not refuse to aid and assist them so far as it is consonant with justice policy and
the interest of the Community To that end therefore they humbly petition and
respectfully solicit your honorable body to pass a law which has for its object the erection of a gate across the said road requiring each waggon laden
with plaster or
page 4
salt passing through the same to pay a toll of two dollars . That the State
appropriate the ?um of Ten thousand which together with the tolls arising
from the gate to be erected thereon is to be expended in opening the said
road after the same is located by the State Engineer a ll of which is to be
laid out by a board of Director s appointed for that purpose and that the
hands now allotted to work on said road together with such as reside above
John I.irks and between Walkers Mountain and the mountain north of it as far
West as the Banks be required to labour in 2'.'..._d of opening the improvement
eight days annually or pay its equivolent in money until the said improvement
is finished - That the Directors have full power and authority to proceed immediately to the performance of the duties enjoined upon them and that when
the said improvement is completed and is successful operation that the gate
be discontinued and that the hands living upon and adjacent to the said line
of improvement be required to keep the same in repair And in duty bound your
petitioners will ever pray &amp;c

LETTER FROM E. A. DUNBAR
contributed by
Mrs E J Sutherland
Abingdon Va Ju n e t.hll;

192~

Hon R ~ E. Chase
Clintwood Va
Dear Nephew
After Coln Menifee made that country his h ead
quarters for awhile there was not much hostil oposi tion
to the southern cause f0r some months, &amp; the war spirit
was not so high as it was soon after that.
Just before
Menifee made his first raid to Ky Isaac Fleming t h e sec ond son of old uncle Jack &amp; Aunt Marry F lem i ng volente ered in some company I don't rememb e r \vhat company it was,
but he was with the command on that raid.
A fiew days
after their return to this side of the mount ai n he went
over in to Ky to visit some of his relatives on Shelby
Was decoyed to a house by some women and shot fro m a cor n
field and instantly killed.
He was the first of our
near neighbors that lost his life in that strife .
Just
one thipg after another seemed to fan the flame of th e
war spirit, and the country was badly devided.
and
suffered greatlyo
I wrote you that Coln Menifee had started hi s
military operations by such theft that he was report e d to
the war department &amp; had gone to parts u~known to the
writer.
Coln James Milton French the oldest son of old
Unc le George French and was a young lawyer of some note,
and had been verry active aiding in the drilling and
traing of the first volunteers , had made many speec hes
f or the southern cause went to the front with about the
fir st volenteers from that county (Wise)o
I don't know,
whether he held any commishion or not when he went to
the wa r.
But about the time that Menifee was getting in
bad with the war department, Coln French came back to
Wise Co &amp; made some speeches against the kind of warfare
that Menifee had started o He made one speech at Ho lly
Creek, the people was well pleased with his idea of a
state line force that would protect all citizens alike
reguardless of their political faith.
In the sp~ing of
1863 I thi nk it was French got some companies from Bland
Co &amp; s ome f rom Wise together I think he was in Camp
awhile at Gladeville also on Indian Creek.
Had his
idea been carrie d out it would have been a good thin g
for that secti on . But he made the great mistake o f
mooving his little command to Pik ev ille Ky and t ryin g to
make his headqua rt e rs there ~ He s oon proov ed that h e was

�5
a better taulker then he was a military stratioist. He
had not been in Camp but a short time untill t~e Federal
forces come up the river surrounded the town captured
him and the most of his men. However he had formed quite
a friendship with old Coln Dilts of Piketon, while he
was there.
I heard of Dilt's saying that Coln French
was all the honest rebel that ever lived . It was also
said that it was through the enfluence of Dilts that
he and his men ware exchanged much sooner than they
would have been. When he &amp; his men ware exchanged his
men that was from Bland never came back to the state
line service, but joined the eastern army and he made
some record as an offic er in the war .
After the war was over Milt made a ver ry prominent
lawyer and was elected to the state sennet from Giles
&amp; Bland Countieso Was in the sennet when your uncle
Jerry was there at the time of the crash at the capital.
Your Pa was still at home from the effect of his wound
when French had the command of the state line service.
When he went back to Camp I think Coln Printis was in
command &amp; was the Commander of that the 7th battalion
tell the close of the war . Some time in the ~ ast part
of 62 I think it was George D. French a younger brother
of Milt French made up a company and was mustered into
service in the 7th battalion. Th~t bata~ion was in camp
first one place &amp; then another while a kind of gerilah
warfare was going on most all the time.
I don't think
they ever had a regular camp any nearer Holly Creek than
the mouth of Indian , there ware scouting parties all
over the country, t h ere was but little neutral ground
on which to stand . Some men had gone into the brush
for protection. About that time there was what was called
a union home gard formed.
I don't think they had any
connection with the federal army or war department, but
their main object seemed to be to keep rebels out of
that country or kill them outright so times commenced
getting worse &amp; worse.
Some time in the latter part of the summer of 63 or
fall of that year Capt George D. French &amp; a fiew men went
down tn see his father' s folks gether up some of his men
that was out without leaf, Lieutenant John Fleming was in
command of some of the men that belonged to your Pa's
Company in the squad seemed to be devided a bunch of them
was fired on over on the south of the mountain and Wilie
Mullins was killed. He was a brother of old aunt Bettie
and Aunt Li z ie Mullins. Either that same day or the
next day as the bunch of men under the command of French
and Fleming was fired on as they ware crossing the big ridge

�and Marshel Keel was killed. he was a son in la~ of ol&lt;l
Uncle Jack Flemingo The Confederate soldiers then left
th ere as it was unsafe for th em to travel any whare for
the woods se em ed fu ll of union bush-whackers.
Some later
that same fall Major Chiniworth with his men went into
camp at the Jack Mu llins place.on the Crane'snest .
I don't
know what kind of a march they.were on, or whare they
had come from , But as soon as it was known that a rebel
force was camped there the union home gard got th eir
forces together to give them a battle . They, the home
gards met on Longs fork about the old Protestant church
late in the evening before they fired on the camp ne xt
morning at day light o They stayed there tell just before
day. Eddie French was down the creek that ev e nin g and
they held him as a prisenor until they started on their
march next morningo I don ' t know the straight of either
side in that, the only real battle that was fought in
that section during the war o The union force had all the
advantage of his ground they fired into the camp just as
the rebel force was getting up without even a picket f ir e .
The first volley they fired one reble soldir was killed .
As soon as the rebel soldiers got their arm , with th eir
military training they charged right up the ridge under
the fire . of th e union force firing as they went and killed
a number of them before th ey reached the top of the ridge .
Bob Killin Charles Hibbtts and little Revel Bartley are
all th e names that I remember now of the men that was
killed in that fight.
That was the l ast real resistant
that was made by them. The most of the men that escaped
went over to Ky and some of them jo ined the Federa l army .
some fiew scouted around in the country for awhile .
Uncle
Wm Neel and James A. Kilgore was captured a l ong about that
time and taken to Camp Chase , Uncle Wm got back home
in a fiew month but Jim Kilgore did not come back tell
after the wa r. At new year 64 your Pa and George Fr e nch
brought their companies down to that sectio n to moove
their families auto The country was so unsafe at that
time.
You no doubt have heard your parents say that they
went to Guest river &amp; stayed te ll after the war was over.
Old uncle George French mooved to Russle Co &amp; never went
back there any more.
About that time nearly everry baddie was mooving one
way or the other. The union people crossed the mountain
to Ky the southern people got farther away from the state
line, so but ver ry fiew people ware left in that whole
section of Wise Co, and what was l ef t had verry little
to live on, But one fortunate thing for what was left,
there was verry fiew soldiers of e ither side passing that
way. So there was not the strife during that year that
there had been during 62 and 63.
I dont r emember of any

�one that was killed during th e year of 64 in that section .
Early in 65 there was a camp of men went in to hiding
about the head of Caney or some where up there.
I don ' t
know whether they had much preference for either side or
noto
But they seemed to want to live on what they could
get from the citizens, that had nothing to spare .
For
severa l months they stayed there. The report was that
there was some six or eight of them, well armed . So when
they had stayed there for some time , the y , ware surrounded
and fired on by some parties and the whole camp was ki lled
out .
I never heard just who it was, that kil led them .
No one that might have known would say much about it.
So that was the last blud that was shed during the war
in that section that I heard of .
In th e spr ing of 1865
nine years after my young eyes had first beheld th e
beautiful little vallie of Holly creek I looked on it in
a verry different way , it then showed the effec ts of the
war houses ware standing vacant fences ware down brush
&amp; bryers had overgrown the fields, and even the woods
that was so clear of brush only nine year before was
then so thickly grown up with brush that you could hardly
get along the pathes . So many peop le had left their homes
&amp; what had remained had lost the most of their live stock.
the most of the farm ers that stayed had to tend their
farms with oxen but fiew horses in the country when the
war closed. I dont think that that country go t over the
effects of the war in fifteen or twenty years .
The war str ife was still pretty high for some years
afte r it closed.
In my next sheets I wi ll write you some
things about the reconstruction day so I will clos e now
I cant go over to see you all when Ann and Minie goes
home but I meant to go just as soon as I can.
Yours truly
E. A. Dunb ar

with explanatory notes
by Judges Brockenbrough and Holmes
published 1815; reprinted 1900
by The Michie Company
This volume is part of a larger volume "Virginia Reports Annotated" found in a
Virginia Law Library. This volume is mainly con~erned with the law concerning
points of appeal or question of law - not too much genealogy.

p9-lO: The Com'lth v John Crane, the Younger: Winchester Dist Ct, Sept 1791.
"John Crane, the prisoner at the bar, was informed by his reapers , that one
Campbell's reapers had sent a challenge to his. That in consequence of this
supposed "chal lenge ", the said John Crane went with others out of his own field
into the field of the said Campbell, which was adjoining to that of Crane's, and
that the said Crane did make use of threatening language, such as he could whip
any man in the field, meaning Campbell's reapers, amongst which was Abraham Van horn; but after some altercation we find all parties app ear to be reconciled ; but
before . said Crane left the field, another dispute arose, in which Crane challenged
them to fight, man for man, which Campbell's party agreed to do, of which number
the said Abraham Vanhorn was one: when the parties came near together, they parlied and disputed for sometime, the issue of which was, that the prisoner at the
bar sw ore that if he fought any man that day , he would let out their.guts , and
likewise that he would fight Joseph Vanhorn the next morning,for ten dollars ,
which the said Abraham Vanhorn was to bet him. The prisoner at t he bar leaving

�Vol 1 - Virginia Cases
Campbell 's field, after some time a certain John Dawkins, one ~f Crane's reapers,
suspected some insult given by Campbell' s party and going to fight a ny one t hat
would insult him. The prisoner at the bar observe d thi s , requested the sa id
Dawkins to get him a club and he would take his knife , which knife he took o ut
his pocket, declaring they could clear their way through the whol e of Campbell's
party, upon which the said Dawkins desisted from prosecuting his intentions, and
likewise the prisoner at the bar. We find that between sunset and dark, that the
said Abraham Vanhorn with several others passing t hrough the field of John Crane
the prisoner at the bar, to confirm a bet whic h was to ensue the next morn ing an~
also making a noise and singing which the said Dawkins conceived was an insu1 t
insult to the prisoner at the bar and his party . There upon Dawkins called out
that he could whip Joseph Vanhorn. Joseph Vanhorn replied it would b e no credit
to him if he did , as he was a larger man; upon which the prisoner at the bar came
out, and orde~ed them out of his field, or he would blow them through upon which
they immediately quitted the field; be then called for his gun, which was refused
by h is wife ; he then called for bis knife &amp; pursued them to the fence, exclaiming
Abraham Vanhorn, you have used me ill, and I'll be damn'd if I don't have satis faction. Then the said Abraham Vanhorn replied, not more so than you have us e d
me. The prisoner then requested the said Abraham Vanhorn to come over the fence
and fight him; the sa id Abraham Vanhorn made answer, that he the said prisoner
at the bar would use a knife or razor; the said prisoner at the bar replied,
come over the fence, and I will give a fair fight: the wife of the said prisoner
at the bar came down crying out, Mr Crane I am surprised you should de mean
yourself to figh,t with such a set of negrofied puppies. By this time the
prisoner at the bar, 8 the said Abraham Vanhorn, were much irritated, at which
the said Abraham Vanhorn, and Isaac Merchant one of Campbell's reapers, had
their shirts stripped off, which the prisoner at the bar had not; the prisoner
at the bar and the said Abraham Vanhorn attempting to get at each other across
the fence, who was prevented by John Dawkins. Then the said prisoner struck at
Merchant, who struck the said prisoner at the bar, and turned him around, who
immediately joined in combat with the said Abraham Vanhorn We find in the combat
that the said Abraham Vanhorn threw the prisoner at the bar on the ground , and
kept h im there for some time; at l ength the prisoner at the bar seemed to get
the advantage of the said Abraham Vanhorn, at which time the said Abraham Vanhorn cried enough and said his guts were cut out. We do find that the said
Abraham Vanhorn did receive several wounds with a knife or some sharp instrument
of which wounds the said Abraham Vanhorn died, and that the wounds were given by
the prisoner at the bar." The jury asks for a special verdict - is he gui lty
of murder or mans laughter? The court - he is quilty of murder .

DID YOU KNOW THAT-- The Presbyterian Synod of Philadelphia met May JO, 1738; at
which time they wrote a letter to Governor Gooch of Virginia, requesting his official permission for Presbyterians to freely worship in Virginia. On Nov 4 , 1738 ,
the Governor answered, in part, " ••• I have been always inclined to favor the people
who have lately removed from other provinces, to settle on the western side of our
great mountains; so you may be assured, that no interruption shall be given to any
minister of your profession who shall come among them, so as they conform themselves to the rules prescribed by the act of toleration in England, by taking oaths
enjoined thereby, and registering the places of their meeting, and behave themselves
peacefully towards the government."

CIVIL WAR TALES is a delightful concoction of newly uncovered pure history ,
hilarious fables, heart wrenching stories , and just plain bul l about the e xploits of our ancestors related to America's greatest war. Tho se who lived
and fought during this period are gone, in many cases all that remain s is
dried ink on some paper or writing on a headstone. The stories they left
behind about bloody combat or how the wife suffered on th e homefront make the
names come to life. The stories offer the reader a personal , very emotional
look at our ancestors who struggl ed so valiantly and gave so much for the
Confederate States of America.
Price $25 . 95.
HUNTER'S FIERY RAID THROUGH VIRGINIA VALLEYS . This is the only accurate
account of the invasion by Union Gen. David " Black Dave " Hunter. Hunter was
a ruthless des pot who burned and looted homes from Winchester to Lynchburg ,
to Salem, and back into West Virginia. He left Staunton and Lexington (including VMI) in smoldering ruins . Furious battles raged near Covingt on ,
Waynesboro , Harrisonburg, Buchanan, Bedford , Lynchburg, Salem and New Castle
as our Southern· ancestors attempted to defeat Hunter's hordes. It i s truly
an epic of men at arms and terrorized civilians. After reading this book ,
one realizes that history does not die, but the deeds and at titudes of our
forebearers he lp shape our world today . Price $32 . 95
THE WAR IN SOUTHWEST VIRGI NIA 1861- 65 . This is the only boo k ever written on
that strategic military department . Over 50 battles and skirmishes took
place as our Dixie boys fought to de fend the Confederacy ' s only source of
lead and salt and the railroad that transported it . Not only does the extensive military history come to l ife, but also a look is offered into the l ives
of civilians of the area. Many of the wealthy were forced into proverty in
less than four y ears. A very revealing book , Price $26 . 95
All books were written by Gary C Walker. All books are guaranteed and will

photos, drawings, and map s and have a col orful eye- catching dust jacket.

NOTES ON GERMAN RESEARCH
Heidel berg , Jul y 27,

1987

Mr. Calvin L Weddle

Dear Mr. Weddle,
Having received your letter of J uly 12th, I must correct your
impression t~ht I am omiscient in Dossenheim . I am working about
the population of Handschuhshei~, th e neighbour village, so some
Informations about the Dossenh eimers are at hand.
The situation at the beginning c f -t he beginning 6T the 18th cen tury were pretty bad for the population here . In 1689 a French
army had burned down and destroyed most of the Towns and villages
in th e Palatinate and so also Handschuhsheim and Dossenheim, all
earli er rec ords in the places we re distoyed. Sev eral times after
1700 the inhabitanbwere plun der ed by foreign soldiers . So the
Intentions for emigration were numerous, but the gouvernment did
not incourage them, as they wanted to repopulate their burned out
country. Especially well to d o families were retained, beggers,
and other unwanted people rather encouraged t o emigrate, there are
even notes, that the comm unit y chest paid the passage for unwanted
inhabitants .
Now the Wedels :
In the book "Kurpfalzi sche Auswanderer von unteren Neckar" Werner
Hacker lis~ quite a number of Dossenheimer Wedels:
22.3 . 1726,' Michael WEDEl, citis2n, requests emigration to the "Island of Pinssfania", request was denied, the Schultheiss ordered
to take care that he remainea in Dossenheim.
6 . 5.1726 John Michael the younger, without means, is granted the
same request .
1759 John Michael WEDEL, born 16 97, married to Maria ROSCHER emigrates to JUtland (Denmark) with 3 children.
12 . 4 . 1·752 Anna Maria WEDEL, a widow, emigrates to the "New Country".
(second note : "to Carolina, with a child")
9.5 . 1752 Georg WEDEL, born 1691, went to Carolina with his wife, Barbara SCHLEPP and 2 children.
7. 5. 1764 Johann Peter WEDEL, mariie~\ to Sybille HEER went to Mary's
Land in America.
1764 Georg Albracht WEDEL , born 1711, went t o America with his
wife Eva Catharina.
13.2.1764 Peter WEDEL requests emigration to Pennsylvania, where
his brother and other near relation s are a lready living, with
his wife and 5 children. Request granted, arriv ed in Philadelphia
27.1 0 . 1764 .
So you se e that in 1726 at least two Michael WEDELS were i n Dossenheim , both wanting to emigrate. S upp osing the elder stayed on and
emigrated later to Denmark, the yo un ger , the poor one, might be
your ance stor. Your notes a bout his son Martin do net find a correspondence here, the name cf Beckelheimer or the like does not
appear
in the books here.
The n e i g hbour ing villages of Dossenheim and Handschuhsheim were
under the sam e parson in the beginning of the 18th century, so I
find in the H ' heim Register the Confirmation of two Michael WEDELs,
one at Easter 1696, one at Easter 1698, as the age at the cor.firmation was ab out 15 years at that time, they might be born at 1681
r es p . 1 5 9 3 ·
V!f~"lie App~lcc~-.::.r:n !7 _: - .,

�Regrettably the names of the

paren~

are given in neither cas e.

In the "Land sales regist e r" (Gerichtsbuch) of Handschuhsheim
I find that Hans Michael WEDEL bougt a vineyard in Dossenheim
togetther with his sist~r Margarethe WEDEL on Aug . 1st, 1718.
(That probably was the richer one!)
So I cannot give you any proof that your Martin WEDEL or his
Father Michael came from Dossenheim, nor certified dates about
their pa re ntage . In Handschuhsheim the name of WEDEL is found
as early as 1516, but without the possibility to find family
lines.
At present my time ist limited by my Handschuhsheim studies , so
I canno t look into your Dossenheim people . A friend of mine
living in Dossenheim and doing some research there might find ;ome thing mo re, I shall relay your request to him.
Could you find anny dates of Michael Wedel that coul $ specify
his time of birth or emigration?
Wishing you good success in your researches I

am

Old Jacksonville Cemetery
This c e metery was the first " burying ground'' in the town of
Jacksonville, now Floyd. It is located near the center of town,
just off the east side of South Locust Street . It was originally
the Kitterman family burying ground, John Ki tteman the first
to be buried here . In 1852, David Kittennan , John Kitterman ' s
son, gave i t for a public cemetery and it was used by the townspeople for thirty-five years . When the new cemetery was built on
the hill in 1886, this one ceased to be used. Some of the bodies
were disinterred and moved to the new cemetery . Many of the
early leaders of the town were buried here . The graves are not
in all cases by family and are not arranged in rows . This was
recorded in 1971.

THE PITFALLS OF GENEALOGY
by Wm T

Carter~·:

Back around 1985 I met a lady who was working on her family history .
After talking with her for thirty minutes or so I thought that tracing
one ' s ancesters would be something that I would like to do. About six
months later while looking for something to do, I recalled my conversation
with the lady.
I also remembered her telling me about the Morman Church
and the Virginia Room a1: the Roanoke City Library . I thought now is the
time to begin my search. My first visit was to the Morman Church to look
for marriage records .
For some reason I started with my mother's line,
Betty Jane Watkins, born June 3 , 1882 in Henry Co, Va, daughter of John W.
Watkins and Sarah Ann Minter al l of Henry County . I found the records and
they stated that John W. Watkins was born in Henry County , son of W. J. and
Elizabeth Watkins .
Next I made a trip to the Virginia Room to check census
records.
In a 11 of Virginia for the year 1850 I find two W. J . Watkins.
One is in Appoma tox Co, Va and is quickly eliminated as his wife's name was
not Elizabeth.
The other W. J. Watkins was in Charlotte Co, Va and was
married to El i zabeth Coles .
I am also armed with a copy of "A Catalogue of
the Descendants of Thomas Watkins of Chickahomony, Virginia" that had been
passed down through the family.
I thought since this catalogue had been in
the family, this must be my line . I look and find W. J . and Elizabeth
1 isted in the book but without a son John . Some weeks later it dawned on
me that the book was published in 1850 and my grandfather was not born until
circa 18 54 .
Back to the Virginia Room for the 1860 census . No index at
this time.
After an extended search I find W. J. and Elizabeth with three
children born a-fter 1 850 - Issac, John W. and Margaret a name that has come
down through our 1 ine .
The "History of Henry County" states that the Wat kins of Henry Co are kin to the Watkins of Pr Edward and other counties.
You jus t know th is is the right line and I'm on my way. I took this line
and ran and ran a nd ran and ran. Within weeks I was back to Edward III on
three lines .
I forg ot to mention that when I started my search I though I would be through
in a few weeks .
I ' m a little wiser now and realize this search will probably
take about three months to complete. Now my royal ancestors kept pretty good
genea l ogical records out of necessity . This really made it easy for me.
Now I • m on a roll.
Virginia Fergerson from the Morman Church was going on
a trip to northern Virginia and was kind enough to bring me back twenty-five
of the 15 generation pedigree charts. Boy, am I on a roll. I'm off the back
of chart #1 and don't have enough room on the front of the next chart for all
the names I have to carry over. Did I tell you I'm getting smarter? I now
realize its going to take me more than a few months to write down all of
these royal names .
Okay lets back up the sixth great-grandparents and start
chart #2 with Col George Reade, born October 25, 1608, and run through the
Windebanke ' s - Dymoke • s - Tailboys - Percy - Sir Henry De Percy "Hots pur "
(whatever that means) - De Mortimer - De Welles - Neville - Edward III King
of Eng l and.
We are rolling, now back to the early thirteen hundred's. Here
comes and goes Edward III - Edward I - Henry III - Philippe III - King of
France - and others. We are now off the back of chart #2. Lets start off
* 4435 Cordell Dr SW , Roanoke, VA 24018

Virtfn1a Appa1aohtan Notes

�chart #3 with sixteen of these royal families . By the time I get to the end
of chart #3, I have Malcolm II, born 954 - Duncan of the Is les _ Jaroslaus
the Halt, Lord of al l Russia 1015 - Clave III King of Sweden and Norway Raoui III The Great - Henry I The Emperor - Yaroslav I of Kiev _ Bela II
King of Hungary and others. Time to start chart #4 .
Boy, thi s stuff is a
little more time consuming then I thought but have I go t g reat lines or
what?
Chart #4 : Lets start here with William The Conqueror (I always wondered who
I was named after) , we run through Alfred the Great - Henry The Fowler, Emperor of Germany - Louis IV - Charles III King of the Franks to seven lines
to Charlemagne and it don't stop here . We run lines on back to some time in
the year 200 AD . It just don't get any better than this .
I can 't believe
I've been two years putting this together but I guess its worth it to find
out you are descended from the kings of most nations.
Did I mention Constantine, Joan of Arc - and somewhere on one of those charts
is a Pope . Boy, I hope the rules were different in those days or I 'll have a
blemish on my charts .
Been doing genealogy several years now but it can't last much longer , on ly a
couple of centuries to go . There are a few blank spaces on my charts for the
mid e ighteen hundreds.
One small item did bother me when I started . My grandf ather John w. Watkins
stated he was born in Henry County, Virginia but here I have him born in
Charlotte Co, Va . He may not have known where he was born and just put down
Henry County. Heck, a lot of those old timer s weren' t too smart anyway .
They couldn ' t read or write just put down their "xxx's" and went about carving a nation out of the wilderness . Anyway this one little item kept bugging me and I kept trying to prove I was on the wrong lines.
I didn't need
all these wealthy ancestors anyway. They didn't pass any of their wealth
down to me.
Been doing this genealogy thing about six years now and -- wait a minute ,
who is this Wm J Watkins on the Henry County 1850 census in the household of
Wm. Moore? Lets go back and recheck marriage records after 1850 in Henry Co,
Vir ginia. No luck . A lot of these Watkins for some reason were goi n g to
Rockingham Co, N C so lets look there. Here we are 9/10/1850 Wm J. Watkins
married Elizabeth Jane Creasy and Hiram Watkins of Henry Co, Va is surety .
Check 1860 Henry Co and find Wm J . Watkins with son John W Watkins age seven .
Looks like I ' ve proved I was wrong . S ince the mistake was made in the fourth
generation I wipe out most of chart one and all of charts two three and four.
There goes my royal blood. Oh, well, I pick up Creasy - Moore - Mayse Smith - Shackelford - Shields and Childs. There wi ll be others.
Gues s I ' ll
try and fill in some of those little b l ank spaces for the mid 1800 .
There
must a moral in here somewhere . Guess it's if you jump to conclusions you
might stump your toes or worse.
If your lines include Col George Reade, born 10/25/1608, or any of his des cendants, drop me a line. I can save you a lot of work since I have three
slightly used 15 generation charts with his ancestors that I wou ld be g lad
to share .

General Court,
This is a volume that will be found in a law library. I only abstracted the names ,
dates, etc -- more to show that the people were there. The Supreme Court records
were burned in Richmond during the Civil War. These volumes are a record of the
cases of the Appeal Court for Virginia. Printed in these vol umes are the depositions of the witnesses, evidence , lawyer briefs , judges opinions -- sometimes a
wealth of information for the genealogist. The books are usually thick , pages
yellow -- and may be hard to zerox. bf

�WYTHE COUNTY , VIRGINIA, LEGISLATIVE PETITION

'!be f ollowing is a copy of Petition #7778 , 4 Dec 1822 , found in Box C, Wythe
County Legislative Petition at the Virginia State Archives , Richmond , Virginia .
A zerox copy has been placed in the Virginia Room, Central Roanoke City Library
Roanoke , Virginia .
page 1 (printed)except the name of the county which was written in)

"TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF VI RGINIA
"The Memorial of the Citizens of Wythe County.
'Ibe undersigned inhabitants of the County of Wythe having every confidence in
the integrity of the Legislators of the State , and convinced of their sincere
desire to promote the interest , happiness and convenience of its citizens , beg
leave respectfully to present to your consideration, the question of the propriety of the Removal of the Seat of Government from the City of Richmond .
I t i s not deemed necessary by your memorialists to enumerate, at large ,
all the objections , which apply to a longe r continuance of it in the City of
Richmond -- a few of the most prominent a r e selected for your serious consideration .
The first objection of your memorialists to the present Seat of Government
is it want of centrality , whether regard is had to territory or to population .
Your memorialists as well as the inhabitants of every other section of the State
must frequently , and of necessity , resort to the Seat of Government , where the
General Assembl y are convened , Superior Courts held , Public Offices kept , and
the Governor and Council usual l y trasact the Executive business of the Commonwealth; and hence it is , that in the opinion of your memorialists, the equal
rights of all the said inhabitants require such Seat of Government should be
as nearly central as possible , .having a due regard to the population of each
section of the State , (and of the certa in increase of population to the west
and the healthfulness of the most central part . Upon this principle of justice,
have most of our sister states been governed , in the location of their seats of
government.
Your memorialists , f r om the history of the late and revolutionary war induced to believe the City of Richmond , too much exposed to danger from foreign
and domestic enemies , to offer suffi cient pledges for the security of the
Capitol, the Treasure, the Archives of the State , our public property , and the
records of our land titles : for so long as our Seat of Government remains in
this dangerous and exposed situation , do we hold out strong inducements to our
enemies to attack it-- All these dangers may in the opinion of your memori alists,
be avoided, by a removal of the Seat of Government to the interior of the
country.
Your memorialists beg leave further to state , that in consequence of the
wealth and commerce of the present Seat of Government , expences have accrued to
such a degree, that the sal a r ies of our public officers hav e become quite inadequate to their support and maintenance ; and no man who is not possessed of
wealth, can accept of any public office , the duties of which require a r esidence
in the City of Richmond; but by a removal of the Seat of Government to the interior of the country, where luxury and extravagance do not so much abound ,
where the main necessaries of life are to be had in great a bundance , and much
cheaper than in the City of Richmond , this objection would not be found to exist.
Your memorialists cannot think , that the splendor , the hospitalities , the
amusement sand perpetual excitements to pl easure , which Richmond , in common with
every large commercial city possesses, is a fit situation for the Legislative
cotlllcil of a plain repu~lican people, but these amusements and excitements to
pleasure tend much to protract the sessions of the Legislature , and by that
V1.rg1n1&amp; Appalaohie.n Notes

�page l con ' t
means add greatly to the expenses of the goveniment .
Your memorialists have reason to believe, that no additional taxes will
be necessary in order to effect a removal of the Seat of Government to a central part of the State , as the public property in the City of Richmond will
sell for a price , amply sufficient to defray all the expenses that will arise
in erecting other necessary public buildings . Your memorialists are led to
believe that, so far from the removal of the Seat of Government from Richmond
to some more central position, requiring any additional taxes , or imposing any
additional burthens on the public , i t will produce an annual saving to the
State , of many thousands of dollars, which may be usefully employed to the
improvement of roads or other beneficial purposes.

l

State of Virginia, Grayson County: On this 24th day of September 1832 personally
appeared in open Court before the justices of the Court of the County of Grayson ,
now sitting James Cox a Resident of Grayson Cou nty &amp; State of Virginia age 69
years &amp; 7 months, who being first duly sworn according to l aw, doth on his oath,
make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832. That he entered the service of the United States under
Capt. John Cox at the age of 15 or 16 and assisted in the building of a fort on new
river n ear the mouth of Peach bottom Creek in the yea r 1778, and f rom that time until the year 1780, he acted as an Indian Spy for the Said Capt • John Cox a nd from
his intimate knowledge of the Country, was upon every occasion, sent as a pilot to
conduct those who were unacquainted with the mountains, in safety to whe re the different parties had their encampments. The tories about this time, or about the
time the Brittish were invading North &amp; South Carolina, became ve ry troublesome in
the Country where he was, havi ng but very few ne i ghbours who were n ot tories, a nd
these, with those of the adjoining State of North Carolina, would frequently assemble themselves &amp; overrun the Country. The Decl a r ant's father, the afore said Capt.
John Cox, Enoch Osborne and his family, Benjamin Phipps, Peter Hart, &amp; William Hardin, were the only whigs who would rende r any assistance when r equi r ed.
In thi s
situation, s urrounded by tories, the declarant and a few others had to combat with
the whole n e ighborhood, and when they found themselves too weak (lines are marked
out) the declarant was sent as an express to Col. Benjami n Cleveland who was
stationed on the Yadkin River near where the town of Wi l ksboro has been since built,
to inform him of the fact that the tories were collecting in large bodies in the
mountai ns. Shortly after his return from Col Cleveland's camp, he was taken pris-·
oner by the tories who intended to take &amp; deliver him to the Britti sh, but in the
mean time Col. Cleaveland and Maj~. Love had joined thei r forces, and overtook the
tories at a place called the big g lades , now in Grayson County, VA .
The tories
when they discovered the whi gs determined to seek safety by f li ght and in their
terror forgot the declarant, who availed himself of the opportunity, a nd immediately run with all speed to the whigs and informed them of what t he tories had done;
the whigs then pursued them, wounded some &amp; took others prisoners, whipped or flogged several severely, &amp; hanged one where the declarant now lives.
After this the
declarants father Capt. John Cox, being on an expedition against the indians,
the tories under a Capt .• Green made another excursion into the mountains, a nd this
declar ant r aised his father's Company a nd pursued the tories unde r Gre e n, and killed
or made prisoners of Green &amp; his entire Company..
Gree n afterwards died of his
wounds, and only one of the the said Company survived, this was a brother of the
said Green, who afterwards enlisted in the reg ular a r my of the United States .
Some time after this affair a certain Capt . Roberts, of the tory party, come into
the neighborhood with a Company of Six Hessians, and this declarant with Maj r .. Love

MIDDLE NAMES
Did you known that middle names were once illegal? The old English law was
de£ini te as to the naming of children and, according to Sir Edward Coke• s law
commentary, "A man ca nnot have two names of Baptism; and on bills of sale,
that purchaser must be named by the name of his Baptism and surname." Royal
personages were always allowed to have more than one given name, but as late
as 1600 i t was said that there were only four persons in all England who had
two given names.
In 1620, when the 'Mayflower' sailed for America, not a
man or woman aboard had a middle name ! Thanks to the Clark/Oconee Genealogica l Society Newsletter, PO Box 6403, Athens, GA 30604. Our thanks to "The
Family Tree", PO Box 1110, Moultrie, GA 31776-1110.

Fall, 1992
Dear Friends:
I hope that your sununer has been fun and that you have been
able to do a great deal of research .
My husband refers t o my
endeavors as searching for those "old dead people."
They may be
dead, but they're MY old dead people .
our presentation of the .1920 ce~sus . on microfilm to the
Virginia Room of .the Roanoke City Pu~lic Library was the largest
single gift the library has . ev~r re~e7ved . . They are appreciative.
I am sure that all of you within dr1v1ng distance and those of you
who travel through Roanoke at sometime will he able to use these
records.
We were very pleased that we received these records so
quickly--even before the State Library received theirs!

We presented the Floyd County Clerk's Office with a check for
$300 to aid i n thei r efforts to preserve and restore some of their
older records .
We received a wonderful thank you note from Mr.
Peters, the County Clerk , thanking us for the check and assuring us
that their efforts would continue.
We would like to be able to
present checks to other counties when they are making pl ans to
restore or preserve some of those valuable records that we al 1
enjoy using .
Our trip to Floyd County in May was a wonderful
e v ent , and I hope we' 11 be able to do more 1 ike it .
If you have a
suggestion concerning court records that you have used, please drop
u s a note .
Unfortunately, we have heard of some fellow genealogists who
h a ve l ost their records either by fire or water damage. We will be
ha v ing an archivist at one of our fall meetings who will be sharing
h is knowledge concerning the protection of our personal records and
r esearch .
The election of officers will be one of the first things on
o u r agenda when we resume our meetings in September .
If you are
int erested in serv i ng a s an of f icer o r se rving on one of the
c onuni t t e es , p 1 ease 1 et me know ·
M.ar.y Jane Va d e n , who has served
our org aniz at ion i n man y c a pacit i e s .' n e eds someone who is
inte rested i n t a~ing over . the recording of our many exchange
quar te r l~es.
T.hi s woul d invg} Ve th.e r ecor q }t e e p i ng when the
quart7rl ies a rr1 v e and t he tJor r espondenee i nv o 1 v e d with other
o rgan1 z ~tion§ who~ e quart er li es we acc e pt . These quarterlies are

Dear Sister - I seat myself to write you a fiew lines to l et you know that
we are both tolerably well at this time and hope that these fiew lines
will come safe to hand and find you well and all of your little children
well. I havent got any nuse to rite to you that would be interesting to
you more than I have had a long and t i resome march from Suffolk we had a
rough march of it we had to march through creeks and mud and some places
the water was about half l eg deep i n the road for miles and we had to
march very fast for we was on a retreat and the Yankee cavilry was after
us
braking down men and straglers . We marched about
85 miles in les than 6 days we got to this place on the 10th of this month
I dont know how long we will stay here but we just stopped here to rest and
draw clothing and shoes I hope we will stay here a long time for I want to
:rest a while for I have been marching and fiting as mutch as I want to do.
Dear Sister I will impart to you something about your husband ' s papers and
money if you havent got the papers that he had when he was sent to the
hospitaJ. when he left us he had about 75 or 80 Dollars in money and he had
a bond on Albert Mathus for about 25 Dollars and John W. Haden was Security
on the bond and I thought it was my duty to inform you about it and if you
havent got the money nor the bond you had better g et somebody to talk to

...;,.EVENTS OF OUR CHILDHOOD
by
Rosalee Collins Pless
1877-1966
*Contributed by Mrs. Calvin Beeson

(Written in 1913)

When I was about six years old, my father put a
few household goods in a covered, one-horse wagon, and
started out to Wise County, Virginia, in the fall of
1883. We three children rode on the one seat in the
front end of the wagon, while our father held the check
lines and drove, walking along side the wagon and my
mother trudged along behind uso
The wagon was drawn by
a fine old, 25 year old, Percheron mare o f almost human
intelligenceo
I shall never forget an incident that occurred on
the second or third day of our journey . We were travel ling on the first hard surface road ever built in that
part of the state. We were nearing the point where the
first railroad was built in that part of the state
cro ss ed the rock road when we heard a train whistle
We
children had never seen a train, and father supposed that
old Puss, the big mare, had never seen a train either·
so my mother yanked us out hastily and placed us on a'
high stack of lumber by the roadside, jerked off her old
split bonnet to cover the mare ' s right eye with it, and
my father covered the left eye of the mare with his old
broadrimmed felt hat. Old Puss only rai sed her head and
wiggled her ears a little , and the men on the train
platform lauged heartil y and cheered.

My father bought land and r a ~sed a crop the first
year we lived in Wise County. During that summer while
he was building a cabin on his land, we lived in a house
on a farm located about two or three miles from Pound
Gap on Ge~rge's Creek between two high mountains o

This summer was a very hot, dry one, so much so
that the waters dried up till only poo l s of water thick
with clouds of almost pure s ulphur remained along the
creek. An epidemic of mountain cho l era took the life of
my four-year old sister, and tho I too became ill with
it, my life was miraculously saved. The wife of the man
who had bought the r e st of the big farm, had brought some
whiskey along when she saw how sick ~ was.
She took a
half-teacup of the whiskey and set. fire t o it; when t he
.
blue blaze died out, she had me drink what was left in the
cup. They always felt that this is what cured me .
Soon
the early frosts an d fall rains had se en fr om one to five
family members l ying dead at one time.
VirCL'lia Appalachfan NotP.s

The next spring in the month of May brought another
little girl to take the place of my deceased sister , but
she too was with us only 18 months when another scourge
of cholera took her away o This saddened my father so
much that he sold his little cabin and started to
Cumberland Valley in east Tennessee to find a new homeo
We traveled this time in a covered wagon drawn by two
mules . After we had got out on the Cumberland mountain,
we camped on a flat rock on what seemed to be table
land, and next morning drove back to Crossville, Tenn.,
and on back to Carroll Co., Va. where my father again
bought land.
This was in the fall of 1887 0 The winter
of 1888 saw another little sister born, and die. That
was the year that my father bought me my first little
china dollo

...

Before that time, my mother had always made our
rag dolls, making whole families for each of us. We
would take a market basket of our rag dolls and play all
day in the shade of a green tree until our ma called us .
But the tradgedy of death of our' four year old sister
destroyed the joy of playing with dolls for us, as well
as many other pleasures of childhood activities . So we
buried the three families of rag dolls between the little
houses over the two little graves of my sisters.
At this stage of our childhood, times were hard ,
~ork a~d money scarce, wages low. My father w~rked in the
iron mines to support his family and pay for his land.
Our shelter at first was a leaky old house made of logs o
I remember one night a girl friend of mine stayed overnight with us, and it rained so hard and leaked so badly
that we had to sleep under a big old umbrella. Notwithstanding, our parents were courageous and worked with a
vim to fix up our home and send my younger sister and I
to school, four miles away which we walked.
We had much Bible reading in our home , and s i n g ing
of songs o And my father, who was not highly educated ,
stressed education for my remaining sister and I o He was
very gratified when I graduated from Milligan Business
College, Tenn., in 1902 .
(Note: Rosalee Collins Pless was daughter of Georg e and
Sinia Smith Collins who last lived near Hillsvill e , Va.
She was the last of'her line a s she had no children , and
her sister never married. R~salee was a fine artist and
well known around Russellville , Tenn ., i n t he 1 ?30 ' s~
.
where she then lived, for her skill and t a lent in spinning,
we aving, and making of cornhus k dolls .

�MICHAEL SWORD
contributed by Gene Swartzell

Russell Co, Va, Order Bk 6, p 30: May 2 , 1818: Michael Sword who resides in
the county of Russell in the state of Virginia wishing to become a pensioner
pursuant to the provision of an Act of the Congress of the United States
passed the 18th day of March 1818 entitled "an Act to provide for certain
persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the
revolutionary war," personally appeared in Court and declared on oath that
he enlisted as a private soldier in Winchester in Virginia some time in the
year 1777 a s near as he recollected, under Col . Nevil.
He did not recollect
the number of the Regiment, but it was in the service of the United States .
Re served nearly four years and was discharged at Williamsburg in Virginia.
Re was in the battle f ought at Germantown where he was taken prisoner and
sent to Philadelphia. he was sent from thence to New York and was there exchanged and joined the American Troops at White Plains - under Col John Nevil
and passed through the Jerseys till orders came for a detachment to South
Carolina, that Col Crabtree commanded th e Troops until their arrival at
Charleston. That he was taken prisoner again at Charleston. That the first
captain under whom the said Michael Sword served was Capt Robert Higgins .
he afterward served under Captain Leonard Cooper. he does not at present
recollect the name of th e officer who discharged him.
He also stated that
Col Nevil was first in command of the detachment that went to Char l eston .
And from the knowledge which some of the members of the court themselves
have, as well as from other sati sf actory evidence, the Court are unanimously
of opinion and do certify that the said Michael Sword is a person of credit
as a witness; that it was generally understood in th e neighborhood of the

POrnDEXTER
(The following is the text of an historical tablet of granite erected at
the entrance to the old Poindexter cemetery , Franklin County, Virginia,
located Route 1 - highway route 655 east of Rocky Mount and Red Wood.)
Buried here is a line of descendants of the ancient Norman gentry named
Poingdestre of the Isle of Jersey whose lineage from the present generation of the early 1400's is of verified unbroken record.
"One of those Jersey feudal lords, Thomas Poingdestre , Seigneur of the
Fief es Poingdestre, had an adventurous son, George (b 1627), who anglicized the spelling of his surname, making it Poindexter, and emigrated to
Virginia, settling initially at Gloucester, 1657; later was co-owner of
the land which became Williamsburg; with Nathaniel Bacon was co-owner of
the first ships owned by the colonists; was a participant in Bacon's
Rebellion; was a vestryman of Bruton Parish Church, 1679; later moved to
New Kent County and there buil t the famous Cross house , "Criss Cross'',
c . 1690, which still stands, representing a uniquely fascinating example
of colonial architecture .
All of the American Poindexters descended from this George Poindexter,
among them being leading patriots and soldiers of the American Revolution ,
public servants such as governors George Poindexter of Mississippi and
Joseph Poindexter of Hawaii, Sen. Miles Poindexter of Washington , and
many other notable figures in the saga of our country. "
Among the grandsons of immigrant George Poindexter was one, Philip Poindexter, b 1708 in New Kent Co. He migrated, c 1750, to Lunenburg County
- later partly transformed (including Philip's locale) into the newer
county of Mecklenburg. There he became a champion of the Revolutionary
cause of the colonists. His name is enshrined as one of the Revolutionary signers of the famour Mecklenburg petition to the Virginia Assembly .
Meantime he had married Sarah Crymes, daughter of Col. George Crymes
(later of Revolutionary War fame), from which marriage were born five
children, one named John Poindexter. He married Nancy Elizabeth Neal in
Lunenburg County, 1792. They then migrated to this place. 'Ibey ai;d .
successive generations of their descendants are buried here, comprising
the most consecutive generations of the oldest fully documented l ine of
any family buried anywhere in Virginia.

Clerks off ice of Lunenburg
4th October 1839
I William H Taylor clerk of the county court of Lunenburg
county in the State of Virginia do hereby certify that I
have held the said off ice for the last twenty five years
that I have examin~d the books containing the register of
marriages in my office from 1776 to 1820 and cannot find
any record of the marriage of William Palmer or Palmore to
Frances Westbrook .
I further certify that the records of
marriages during that period appear to be irregular that
there is no register of marriages at all in my office but
in what is called the Will book. that the marriages
recorded in the will book were celebrated by dissenting
ministers only and no marriages recorded celebrated by
ministers of the established church either before or since
the revolution in consequence of which the marriage not
appearing on the records of my office raises no
presumption that the aforesaid parties were not legally
married at the time stated
In testimy whereof I have
annexed the seal of the said
court and subscribed my name
this 4th day of October 1839
Wm H Taylor

CORRECTION
VAN May 1992, p54: shows "Dec 8, 1885 Jessee L Cecil Md Mel lie H Buckingham,
col'd" The correct ion is that both were white. (They were also first
cousins .) Verification can be found in the 1870 &amp; 1880 Federal Census records
for both their parents. Richard W Buckingham, Apt 803, 330 West Brambleton
Ave, Norfolk, VA 25510 .
Note and comments by the editor: Many errors were made when the clerk copied
the marria ge returns in the register ; also, what appeared to be ditto marks
could be dark spots (water shows up as dark or black spots on microfilm) on the
paper, please remember that the copy was made from microfilm and parts were very
hard to re ad ( imposs ibl e in some cases) -- please forgive any errors that we may
have made and correct u s . We were sent a copy of a previously published Pulaski
Co marriages, but could not u se them for corrections or comparison as no written
permission was sent with th e m. One of the most important things to remember in
genealogy (£or me) is to believe nothing in print until you have seen the original and tben get several other records to prove that fact - if possible . In
'translating' t he marriage record - remember the h andwriting. Do we put down
what we t hink we see or as it is written? You put down what it seems to be.
Examples: the 'a ' is looped at the top or not c lo sed, so it looks like an 'o' or
'u' - you write the lat ter and, if sure, make a notation that the letter is an
'a' .
And you never change the spe lling of a word or name in a document. We
make no corrections of a document! A footnote serves that purpose.

�SOUTHWESTERN VIRGINIA GENEALOGICAL

SOCIETY

Spring,

1 992

Dear Fellow Members :
We have had some exciting programs at our meetings this year,
and our May meeting will be no exception. We will be traveling to
Floyd County. We will be meeting at the Floyd County Courthouse,
having lunch together, and then meeting at the library .
You will
have a special opportunity to tour the Courthouse and find out what
is available there.
You will be receiving your notices soon.
We have recently purchased some Vital Statistics records for
the Virginia Room and we have authorized the librarian to
investigate the purchase of others .
New census records have been
ordered .
We are now investigating the possibilities of helping
with the preservation or restoration of some area records.
All
these things will, hopefully, make our effo~ts more effective.
At times, we receive research requests from our more distant
members.
We hope you will understand that we do not have anyone
from this organization available to do individual research on
behalf of the organization.
The best we can do is to send you a
list of individuals who are willing to do this type of research .
We hope you understand when you receive this list.
The requests for back issues of the VAN have been so great
that we are now out of some issues.
If you have more requests,
please get them to us.
We cannot guarantee how long we will have
some issues available.
As summer a nd vacation time arrive , our monthly meetings take
a vacation, also.
Please remember that we do not me et in J une,
July, or August. Have a safe and fun-filled summer.
Sincerely,

NON-DELIVERY of issues must be reported within one month after the quarter
within one month after the quar ter they are dated if the publication is to
be replaced free of charge. Issues termed undeliverable by the Post Office
due to late notification of c hange of address will be re-mailed after the
fee involved ($2.00) is paid. The $2 is for returned postage and mailing.

be found in a Virginia Law Library. The page numbers are also taken from the
same volume .
The genealogical information varies from none to a great deal
or just one fact that will be wh at you need to place a person in a certain
area. The cases are mainly concerned with points of laws - the information
on the case itself may be lim ited or in great detail . The material can be
very interesting or very boring, as anyone who has read trial cases can tell
you .

HOW TO GET COPIES OF BOOKS

You go to University Microfilms , JOO North Zeeb Road, Ann Arbor , Michigan . They
will give you the quote as to two prices -- if you want it on microfilm , or you
want hard (Xerox) copies. It is generally cheaper on film.
Because you have the
card now (from the Library of Congress) and you can order it now , for you know
five basic things: The title, the author, the date published, the publisher , and
the city.
If you want a portion of the book , you might write the Li brary of Congress Photoduplication Division, and see if they would do that chapter , or a few pages , or
the page, that you wish.
If perchance it is one of those rare books t hey don 't want to mess with because
it is not enough money for them , you write to that special firm in Wooster , Ohio ,
called Bell and Howell. You go to University Microfilms first , the biggest . But
sometimes some records, some county histories, some directories you want that
they won't have, but they may have in Wooster, Ohio .

. . . . ' .. ......... .. . .

Did you realize there were more histories printed in the 1800s than the 1900s?
That was the first centennial in America . Everybody who was anybody published a
family history. It may have been ten pages, but it was published . ........ ...•.

Gen ea l ogical Aint
For those who are just starting to r esearch their family, remember that your
surname was not always spelled the way it is today. There is no name that
hasn ' t been spe lled more than one way. I have seen a deed that was a half
page in length and the man's name was spelled 3 different ways. Most names
were spelled by sound. If a person had an accent - a name would be spelled
by the way the clerk understood it. Some names were changed completely from
one n ationa l ity to the English version - especially in Virginia. And that is
done today. So go by sound more than the " correct" spelling.

COUNTY VIRGINIA compi 1 ed by Donna Kelly Edwards.
Ms. Edwards
traces the Worrell family of Carroll from John Worrall of Acton,
Cheshire, England to the present.
There are some photographs (the
oldest taken in 1935) and some reproductions of a newspaper article
concerning the Worrell family reunion in Hillsville in 1990.

information may be obtained from Ms. Edwards at 2301 "A" Choate

This is a listing of

BEWARE!
These are a few of the books that are not true genealogical books - they
take your money and send you a list of names. The names below are several years old - some have changed their names, others still doing business.
Before ordering a book with a surname only, write asking for information
on which branch of the family it is, where the family came from, etc? The

�A LETTER FROM TEXAS
Collin county June the 3rd 1859
Dear Brother
Thos Borton I Sit down this evening to drop you a few lines
to let you know that we are all well and well pleased with
the Country hoping these few lines will find you and family
enjoying the Same like blessings. I would have written to
you aefore but did not know where to direct my letter until
I Re
a letter from James Duncan which informed me you were
ig the Cove.
I will try to give you a description of Collin
c_. as fare as I have Sean for beauty and soil i t cannot be
beat on earth the Prairies lies high and just rolling enough
to drain the water off betwen the branches of the Sabine.
The Prairies is about 1/2 mile wide and on the branches timber enough to answer the demands of the country. These
branches run up the divide between the Sabine and Trinity
rivers and Some of them is from 1/2 mile to 50 miles in
length.
These Prairies are covered with grass that looks
like a wheat field with numerous beards of cattle and deer.
Some times can be Sean twenty in a gang. The Prairies at
this Season of the year is over Spread with flowers of every
tint and hue. The land is all taken up in Collin Co. but a
plenty for Sale.
I know of three four hundred acre tracks
i t is said can be had for $2.00 per acre one half timber
and the other half Prairie land and a great many other tracks
that can be had for $2.50 per acre.
If you intend to move
to this Country the Sooner you come the better i t will be for
you as land is rising verry fast.
There is a 350 acre track
joins me that has got a good double house orchard and about
45 acres in cultivation that can be had for $3000.00. I think
this will be a great Season for people to move to Texas as
there was plenty of wheat made and a good looking chance for
corno
If I was young and back in Virginia and know what I
now know about Texas I could not be kept there.
I would beg
my passage to Texas.
Hy opinion is that Collin co. is a
great deal healthier a place than the Rye Cove. The water
does not lie on the ground and the Springs and wells is not
fed by Stagnated water. There is allway a pleasant air stiring on the Prairies though verry sultry in the timber. Our
wheat harvest is over here and the people is generally done
layin~ by their corn and better looking corn I never saw grow
out of the ground.
Please tell Mr. Robert F. Dorton that he could do much better
in this country than in va. as good wagonmaking can do well
here.
I will not bring my letter to a close as I want to
write a few lines to Brother Harry carter. Please write as
Soon as this comes to hand and let me know how you are getting
s
along. To Tho Horton.
John Pendleton
Collin County Texas June the 3d 1859
Dear Brother and Sister in Christ I take this opportunity to

I

�drop you a few lines to let you know that we are all well
and well satisfied with the country hopinq these f ew lines
may find you enjoying the same like blessings.
I hav e had
better health since I left Va for the same length o f time
than I have had for many years.
I should like verry much to
see you once more in the flesh but I never expect to see you
until the judqment of the great d&amp;y but hope in God to see
you in that better world where parting will be no more.
I
have often thought of you and drempt of seeing you, &amp; how
glad I was.
I often think of being at y o ur house and seeing
old Barry smile when I slept in and the many good dishes of
coffee my dear Sister Polly has dished out to me and the
happy seasons we have had togeather but now more than a
thousand miles apart.
A word now to sister Polly i - regard to her beautiful flowers
in her garden.
Her garden i ~ nothing in comparrison to our
Prairies for beauty. '!'hey are covered the bloom from the
large rose down to the little pink.
When the Seed gets ripe
I will send you Some of the beauties of Texas.
When you
get these lines I want you to write to me and let me know
bow you are getting along.
When I got to Texas I felt like
John did in the isle of Patmus almost banished from friends

at her house.
My first sermon was from Paul to the Romans

�James w. Phillips was the son of Roy E. Phillips and
Charlotte Elizabeth Pendleton, grandson of Eldridge
Howard Pendleton and Sarah Cassandra Robinson, greatgrandson of William Gaines Pendleton and Charlotte Coupland, and great-great-grandson of John Pendleton and
Jemima Kilgore. James w. Phillips was born in 1919 and
died Dec. 20, 1986.
He was the author of The Pendleton
Family which was published in the late 1930s. He was
the Curator of the DeGoyers Library in Dallas, Texas.
Mr. Phillips sent the copy of John Pendleton's letter
to Maxine Pendleton Sanders of Wichita Falls, Texas.
Mrs. Sanders is the daughter of Homer Alexander Pendleton
and Marguerite B. Shine, granddaughter of Eldridge Howard Pendleton and Sarah Cassandra Robinson, great-granddaughter of William Gaines Pendleton and Charlotte Coupland, and great-great-granddaughter of John Pendleton
and Jemima Kilgore.
Mrs . Sanders shared this letter, and
other valuable information, when my late husband, Robert
Ferrell Pendleton and I began our family search.
Robert Ferrell Pendleton was the son of Hardy Winford
Pendleton and Lydia Rowena Bradford, grandson of Croel
Newton Pendleton and Maggie L. Allison, great-grandson
of William Pendleton and Harriet Rebecca Hawkins, greatgreat-grandson of Isaac Newton Pendleton and Mary ?
(she was mentioned in John Pendleton's letter), greatgreat-great-grandson of John Pendleton and Jemima Kilgore.
John Pendleton was born ca. 1792 in Russell (now Scott)
County, Virginia. He was the son of Benjamin Pendleton.
John married Jemima Kilgore ca. 1810. She was the daughter of William Kilgore and Virginia Jane Osborne. John
was a Methodist minister and farmer.
John and Jemima
were the parents of 13 children (all born in Scott County,
Va.). Their children were:
Melinda who married Daniel
Price, William Gaines who married (1) Charlotte Coupland
(2) Rhoda Day, Hiram Kilgore who married Eliza Jane Richmond, Ira T. who married Phoebe Flannery, Isaac Newton who
married (1) Mary? (2) Lucy Shifflett, Jane who married
John Duncan, John Craig who married Martha Ann Asbury, Eliza
who ma~ried (1) Monroe w. Legg (2) Elijah w. Hendrix, Andrew Jackson who married Sallie Taylor, Allison Osborne
who married Rebecca Ann Lawson, Sarah E. who married Abraham J. Gaylon, Minerva Jemima who married (1) Levi Howell
(2) Joseph Rice Buchanan, and Melvin c. who married (1)
Mary Davis (2) Narcissus M. Brummett.
John Pendleton, his wife Jemima and their children lived
in scott County, va. until shortly before 18 50 when they
moved to Lee county, Va.
In the fall of 1858, John and
Jemima Pendleton, sons Allison Osborne and Isaac Newton
and their families, daughter Eliza and her husband Monroe
Legg, grandsons Eldridge Howard and James Bell Pendleton ,
and brother-in-law Robin Kilgore moved to Texas. The trip
to Texas was made in covered wagons and i t took them 64
days to make the trip.
It is believed that son William

3

�Gaines Pendleton was already in Texas teaching school.
John
Pendleton died Oct. 11 1 1861 and is buried in the Pendleton
Cemetery near Farmersville, Collin County, Texas . Jemima
Ki1gore Pendleton died May 28, 1868 and is buried beside her
husband.
John Pendleton evidently knew the value of Collin county,
Texas well as i t now one of the fastest growing counties in
the state.
rt is near Dallas and much of the growth is due
to the location and interstate highways.
Many descendants of John and Jemima Pendleton have visited
Southwest Virginia in search of their roots, and have grown
to love the area and it's residents. The area is especially
lovely in the fall with the many colors on the trees and
bushes.

CHAMPAIGN WOMAN, AGED 108, TALKS
Champaign Daily Gazette, 10 Aug 1912, Champaign, IL
contributed by Michele McNabb, Archives Ass't
Champaign Co Historical Archives *
What would you do if you were the oldest person in Champaign, having lived
several years over the century mark and far beyond the four - score years and ten,
the time allotted for man to inhabit this earth?
Mrs Winnie Bennison, 411 West Maple street, 108 years old, says she is happy
in her own thoughts as she sits on the back porch of the home of her daughter, Mrs
Maggie Carter, and looks over the sunny yard with its wealth of old- fashioned and
bright-hued "posies" and wanders back in memory to the old antebellum days in the
south "before de wah ."
Children Born In Sl~very
Born and reared in slavery , bearing her sixteen children under the same conditions, the old southern "mammy's" thoughts naturally dwell mostly on her younger
days· "Ole marster" and "young missy," the huge plantation in Tennessee, the few
bright spots in the lives of the slaves, such as "possum killin ' time," "applejack time," " Christmus time" and "camp meetin"' time, and through it all never to
be forgotten memories of hard work in the cotton fields from daylight till dark
and the cruel words and deeds of the slave-owner, dwell uppermost.
Retains All Her Faculties
Mrs Hennison retains all of her faculties to a remarkable degree excepting
that her mind wanders and she cannot keep it long on any subject of the present
which is brought before her. She will revert in thought to the olden days and
the fact is not to be wondered at. She does not wear "specs'' and probably the
reason for this is the fact that the old woman never could read nor write. Her
hearing is remarkably keen and she is the first of the household to hear a Big
Four engine's shrill whistle long before the train thunders by a little ways from
the front of the house .
The Centenarian's face is threaded with winkles , but a pair of humorous old
eyes in which there is a saddened cast, however, beams out above it. Mrs Bennison
said that her two southern masters in Tennessee were noted for their cruelty and
memories of old times and old scenes are forever crowding before her mental vision.
Negro Born in 1804
Mrs Carter says that her mother's age would not be known if it had not been for
an elder brother of Mrs Hennison ' s, who died several years ago. Before his death
he informed Mrs. Carter how old her mother was, saying that she born on the plantation of one Dave Cent in Pulaski county, between Lynchburg and Bristol in 1804.
Napoleon Starting on Conquests
The year of Mrs Hennison ' s birth was the same as that which witnessed the
beginning of the fame of Napoleon Bonaparte, which extended uninterrupted for ten
years . When the "little corporal" died broken hearted •::&gt;n the island of St Helena
in 1821, Mrs Hennison, being seventeen years old, was serving in the capacity of
maid for "young missis" who had married her "marster" ten years before.
During the war of 1812 with England, our second war of independence as it
were, the little pickaninny was p laying around the plan~ation cabins with the
other negroes of her age on the immense preserves owned by Mr Kent. Three years
later she began her train ing for "lady's maid . "
Remembers Marriage of Master
''Yassir, I remember that time well,'' said the old ex-s lave. "When Marster

Champaign Woman, Aged 108, Talks (con ' t)
Dave he married Miss Virginny Bu for d I went along with de young couple to watch
over de young missy . They was kind to me in de main, but Marse Kent was turrible
hard on his niggers an ' beat ' em an' sold ' em aroun ' lak dey was a passel of
cattle."
"How'd I know when I was free?" she continued, "marster come an' tol ' us
hissef and he didn ' t lak it none too well, neither. But we-all didn ' t lak him
an' we all skun out as quicken as we could . "
Mrs Hennison has remained with the Carters in Tennessee near their old plantation home until three years ago when the family removed to Champaign .

JITS, JOTS, AND DOTS ON THE OLD FAMILY NAMES OF SCOTT
by
C. V. Compton

from
Thursday , December 23 , 1937
The Gate City Herald ( Va)
The Adams family is of Welsh origin. They migrated to Pennsylvania
long before the Revolutionary War and two brothers, Samuel and George came
down the "Great Trough" of Virginia . Samuel went to Kentucky in 1773 as
one of the very first settlers of ~hat state and George 's descendants are
the Adams in Scott and adjacent c0 .nties .
Addington is an old English name . They came from the region of London
prior to the Revolutionary War. William Addnigton (sic), who is the progenitor of the Addingtons of Southwest Virginia, participated in the Battle
of Yorktown from Culpepper (sic) Co ., Virginia . After the close of the
Revolution he with his family migrated to Caswell County , North Carolina
and thence on to Hyter Gap , Virginia . We find a James Addington , living
in the same community of North Carolna (sic) with William prior to 1800
and a member of the Quaker Church -- we do not know the exact relationship
-- whether father and son or what . We know William Addington , who married
Miss Cromwell left two sons , and one of these was Charles Cromwell Addington, who moved from Hyter Gap in 1802 to the Old Billie Guillenwater's
Fann near Wood, Virginia, but due to the fear of fever and chills he migrated to the Copper Creek Region in a year or so and founded the Addinton
(sic) settlement in that section.
Brickey was originally Briquette, until Anglicized to the present spelling .
John Brickey with his family left France during the St . Bartholomew Massacre 1686 , first coming to Charleston , South Carolina and then with his
wife, Mary, and the following children : Gerard , John, Jr ., William ,
Peter, Geney , Nancy, and Mary to Maryland . : ·hn , Sr. moved from Mary ~ ~d
Co., Va. prior to 1725 where he left a will
17J2. Among his children
only Peter, who married Winifred Lucas , had 1. _e heirs to continue the
Brickey name . His sons John and Jerrard moved to Southwest Virginia prior
to the Revolutionary War and John married Mary Garner , migrated aft ~ ~ the
close of the war (1789) to Blount Co ., Tenn . Most all the Brickey. ·. )f
Southwest Virginia are the descendants of Garrard Brickey .
Broadwate~ is English from Broadwater Hundred, Hertfordshire , England.
We
find the will of William Broadwater in Accomac County dated 1716 lea ving
a large family of sons and daughters. In the Rev~lutionary War at least
nineteen Broadwaters served i n the Continentla (sic) A:rmy. Charles and
Nancy Broadwater, boni in Fair.tax Co ., moved to Loudon Co. , and in 1787
bought a farm in Botetourt County and sold the farm in 1811 and came to
Russell (Scott) County, We believe Charles died enroute but his wif e , two
sons, William and John and four daughters , re~ched Scott County about 1812.
John married Winnie Kilgore from whom all the .aroadwaters of southwest
Virginia are descendants. William married a Culbertson and migrated to
Missouri in 1825 where find most of his descendants.

Carter is an old English name. We find more Carters in Scott .County than
any other family name -- also this is t:rue for the state of Virginia . The
Carters of Scott County came from Amherst Co., Virginia in about 1772 to

�.:Z. I
Scott Co. , Va ., con ' t
Scott . We find the will of James Carter , Amherst County , mentioning two
sons , Jas . a nd Dale which will is dated 1754.
Carrico is a Gallic name -- they came direct from France during the St.
Bartholomew Massacre in 1686 to Charleston , South Carolina. One of the
descendants moved to Tu.nville , Virginia region f rom whom the Carricos of
Southwest Virginia are descendants .
Compton is an Anglo-Saxon name, meaning a town in the hills, John Compton
came to Roxbury , Massachusetts in 1634 as a Baptist . William, his son migrated to Long Island and at one time owned a part of Coney Island -- then
he moved to Woodbridge , New Jersey in 1666 with his wife Mary Wilmot where
he bought the land from the Indians and built the first Baptist Church in
New Jersey from which church all the Baptist churches of Pennsylvania,
Maryland nd(s ic) the Valley of Virginia have sprung. Jus t prior to the
Revolutionary War John Compton , his brother Samuel, and their nephews,
Abraham , Jeremiah and Reubin came to Botetourt County , Va. John was
killed by the fall of a tree on Wolfe Creek in 1778, Abraham was killed
in the Continental Army in 1779, Samuel died at a ripe ole age in Botetourt
County , Jeremiah dr ew a pension for Continental service and died in Sevier
County , Tenn ., and Reubin drew a pension and died in Montgomery Co., Virgini a,
but most of his descendants migrated to Arkansas. Abraham ' s descendants
a r e the Comptons of Scott County, Va .
Culbertson is a Scottish name but Joseph Culbertson came from Ulster County ,
Ireland in 1720 and established Culber ston Row, Franklin Co . , Pennsylvania.
One of his sons set tled at Culbertson Bottom , near Draper ' s Meadow from
whom all the Culbertsons of Southwest Virginia have sprung. Joseph Culbertson who was buried near Ft . Blackmore, possibly say service in the
Revolutionary War. All Culbertson in American a re akin.
Dingus (Dinges , Dingess , Dingee ) is of Teutonic origin . They came f r om
the Palatinate , Rhine Region Germany . Three brothers came across in 174950-51 and the last one of the three to come was Phillip Dingus, the progenitor of the Dingus ' s of Southwest Virginia . One of Phillip Dingus'
sons married a Miss Head (a German woman) whose son Phillip Dingus, who
married Nancy McConnell, the s ister of Adam and George McConnell. It is
the writer' s opinion that George , Adam and Nancy McConnell's father was
Adam McConnell . Adam McConnell served in the Revolutionary War in Pennsylvania and his son Adam , Jr., served in the Indian Wars of 1787 . Nancy
s poke German fluently and had her own Gennan Bible . George spoke German
and possibly English brokenly as when he came from Glade Hollow (near
Lebanon , Va ., ) and bought the land a round the Glad around the Glade Hollow
Region , Scott Co ., he said in his German dialect that he bought a "Walley
on top of a hill" . Phillip Dingus who married Nancy McConnell, left a
large number of descendants in southwest Vir ginia, and eastern Kentucky.
Bowens are f r om Wales . We find them at Frederickstown, Maryland. Reece
Bowen left Fredericktown, Maryland and in the ful l ness of years drifted
down the great "trough" to Tazewell County, Va . He married Miss Louisa
Smith in Augusta County, Va., l i ved for a while on the present site of
Roanoke City. He is reputed to be the one of the Long Hunters and settlers
a t Maiden Springs in 1772. His des cendants are scattered along the Clinch

THE NATIONAL COALITION TO STAMP OUT
CHICKEN SCRATCHING
Tips to Improving Your Writing
by
Charles Lehman
Improving your handwriting is not a very
difficult process. There are five common elements used in the formation of
letters and words that when done correctly will yield legible and graceful
writing.
These five tips are known as the five S's: Speed, Slope, Space, Size,
Shape.
Speed: Slow Down!!! Even though life seems to be going by in the wink
of an eye, there is no reason to rush when writing. Writing fast is a major
cause of poor writing as it does not allow you enough time to properly form
letters.
Slope: Your script should reflect the natural movement of the hand. All
letters should slope in the sam direction at about 10 degrees to the right.
Space: Letters should not be cramped and uneven, but rather should be
equally spaced. Two straight strokes (l,i) should be further apart than a
straight stroke with a curved letter (a,n,o), while 2 curved le tters should
be the closest together of all (o,o).
Size: Make sure all capital letters are consistent in size; lower-case
letters as well .
Shape: Letters with the same body shapes, such as the rounded parts of
(d,g,q) should be consistent.

****************

By legibly signing my name below, I hereby agree the bird's got to go.
I needn ' t be chicken and scrawl like a fowl; I'll write like a human and
keep sacred my vow .
Because my handwriting is unique, I can write clearly and still be chic.
I'll encourage my boss, my peers and my friends: "Don't scratch like a
ch i cken with pencil or pen."
Your days are now numbered you fowl feathered blight; t he call has been
sounded , " Good writers unite!"

�FRANCIS BROWNING
contributed by Gene Swartzell
Russell Co, Va, Order Bk 9 , p 395: Oct 2, 1832 : Russell County Court to
wit : On the 2nd day of October 1832 personally appeared before the County
Court of Russell and State of Virginia Francis Browning , a resident in the
county of Russell and State of Virginia , aged about seventy- nine years, who
being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following
declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the act
of Congress passed June 7th 1831 - -- . That he entered the service of the
United States in the State line of North Carolina in the month of October in
the year he thinks of 1778 at Hillsborough in the said State , under Captain
William White and as he now thinks , Lieutenant Lawson and Ensign William
Raney, and was attached to the State Regiment commanded by Col . James Saunders and Major Moore for a term of six months, and from Hillsborough, the
place of rendezvous, he , with the sa id Regiment marched to Sal isbury, when
when they joined the Salisbury Regiment under the command of Col . Lock, and
were then placed under the comman d of General Rutherford and marched from
thence to a place then called Pine Tree, the same perhaps which is now called Camden in the State of S . Carolina , near the junction of the rivers Congaree and Wateree, and f r om thence march ed to the Ten Mile house, it being
about ten miles from Charleston in the State of s. Carolina, and from thence
to a little town called Dodgeston, and from thence took up their line of
March for Savannah in South Carolina, where they joined the main army under
the command of General Lincoln at a town called Pinensburgh upon the Savannah river .
From which place the Regiment to which the said Frances Browning belonged, marc:hed up the said river to a place called the " Two Sisters"
where they remained , nearly in sight of the enemy for about one month, and
then marched to the place called Brian Creek , where they joined General Ash
in th e time of the Battle fought at that place, and took part in that engagement, and from thence he and his regiment were ordered to make a forced
march back to Pinensburgh to protect the magaz ine left there, which they affected by a most servere and fatigueing march, and remained there and in the
vicinity of that p l ace watching and following the varied movements of the
enemy upon the border line of Georgia, from Savannah to Augu sta, which was
exposed to the depredations of the british then in the said state of Geor gia , and was then incessantly engaged, until about the 10th of April in the
year he thinks of 1779, when he and the Regiment to which he belonged were
discharged, ~t a p l ace call ed Bl ack Swamp, about 500 miles from home, and
obtained a re gular discharg e in writing, which has been since either lost or
mislaid so that he cannot now produce it. The said Browning, although nominal l y belonging to the s tate line, performed continental service during the
time aforesaid , and out of the nomin al compensation r eceived from the government for his se rvices, he afterwards paid $100 thereof for one bushel of
sal t . The said Francis Browning further states that sometime after his re turn home from the tour aforesa id , he removed with his family from Caswell
County in the state
Bk 9, p 396: of North Carolina near Jon esborough then N. Carolina but now
s tate of Tennessee, where he was again in 1781 drafted to go to the State of
Sou th Carolina under the command of Co l Sevier for a three months tour , when
the situation of his affairs was such as to render it exceedingly inconven-

�NATHAN MCCLURE LESLIE
Nathan McClure Leslie (1829 -1919 ) who immigrated to Texas in the 1880s
was probably born in Augusta or Rockbridge Co, Va, 17 Aug 1829 . He was the
son of Samuel &amp; Elizabeth Winegar Leslie (Lesley). Samuel &amp; Elizabeth were
married 28 July 1814 by Samuel Houston at the Old Oxford Presbyterian Church
in Rockbridge Co, Va. Samuel is listed as the son of John, &amp; she the daughter of William Winegar. Samuel is shown on the 1840 Rockbridge Co census and
a taxpayer in 1841. In 1850 , he is shown in the Augusta County, Va census,
age 57 , Elizabeth, age 56.
According to information from History of the Evangelical Lutheran Church
in Botetourt County, V~ by Rev. E. W. Leslie, A.M., published in 1910, David
A Leslie was the son of Samuel and Elizabeth Leslie .
David A. was born near
Fancy Hill, Rockbridge County, VA 14 June 1831. It can be assumed that Nathan
McClure Leslie could have been born either in Rockbridge or Augusta counties.
The article further states that the family moved c 1837 to Alleghany Co, Va,
then back to Rockbridge where they lived at Collierstown. Cl841, the fami ly
moved to Augusta County where they probably remained until 1850 as Samuel is
shown on the 1850 census in Augusta. Nathan is shown on the 1850 census
living with James Leslie in Botetourt County. It is assumed that James was
his brother. Then Samuel and his family moved back to Rockbridge County and
lived near Brownsburg. C 1851-1852, Samuel planned to move to Wythe Co, Va,
but became ill. He then moved to the home of a relative in Bedford County.
Samuel &amp; his wife Elizabeth are buried at the Zion Church at Locust Bottom
in Bedford County. The known children of Samuel and Elizabeth were:
Nathan
McClure (1829), David A (1831), Elizabeth (1832), Pansy (1834), and Martha
(1840). James was born in 1822. There was also a William listed in the 1850
Botetourt census who may have been a son.
David A married Elizabeth Lemon, daughter of Christopher and Sidney
Lemon 14 April 1858. He moved to Blue Springs where he worked as a carpenter. David served in Co. K, 28th Va Regt , and also made coffins for the CSA
at Lynchburg. Although his father had been a strict Presbyterian , David
joined the Lutheran Church as a young man. He helped build the Lutheran
church at Glade Creek, Blue Ridge Community. Both David &amp; Elizabeth Lemon
Le 3lie are buried at the Glade Creek Church Cemetery which is now a Baptist
church.
When Nathan McClure Leslie married Susan Waggoner 18 December 1851 at
Fincastle, Va, he was listed as a farmer in Botetourt co where at least three
of his children were born.
Sometim~ between 1851 &amp; 1860, Nathan became a Baptist minister.
Bedford
court records indicate that he presented himself to the court in Oct of 1860
and was granted permission t o perform marriages in £edford as a licensed
Baptist minister . He is listed in the Strawberry Baptist Association minutes
as the minister of Flint Hill Baptist Church in Bedford County . His post
office addresses during the 1870's included Thaxton, Troutville, &amp; Fincastle
(1871 - 1873) . The Va Baptist Historical Society, Richmond, Va, indicated
that Nathan Leslie pastored churches at Cove in Alum Springs , New Bethel,
Rose or Rasey Hill, Enon, Natural Bridge, and at Flint Hill. The society
was unable to furnish further information about Nathan .
In the 1862 Confederate records at Bedford County, Va , it is noted that
David A Leslie asked to be released from military service with the CSA to
help operate Plott's Mill with his partner brother, NM Leslie .
It is noted
above that David did serve later in the military. Nathan's son, Alonzo re-

�Leslie
membered the Yankees coming to his father's house at meal time and taking
all the available food.
Then they destroyed the mill which Nathan and his
brother operated.
Prior to 1880, Susan had died as Nathan is listed as a widower in the
1880 census of Botetourt Co . Susan may be buried near Buchanan. Her father,
John Waggoner and his wife Mary Powers lived near Buchanan . John is shown
in the Fincastle records as having made the shingles for the court house
built in 1820 in Fincastle. He is shown in the 1860 census with his wife
Mary, born in 1798 in Va.
Her parents are assumed to be Yancy and Nancy
Powers.
Nancy is shown in the 1870 census , aged 105, living with the
widowed Mary.
John's father, Jacob , was still living in Botetourt co in
1850.
He was born in New Jersey in 1764 . John Waggoner died in 1868 and the
probate of his estate named Nathan McClure Leslie and wife (Susan) among the
heirs.
John Wag goner is buried at the Mt . Moriah Lutheran Church, located
near Lapsley Run and Eagle Rock, northwest of Fincastle, Botetourt Co, Va.
C 1886, Nathan, his new wife, Susan A Laymon, (whom he married 14 Oct
1881) and part of his family went to Texas on an immigrant train, according
to William S Leslie, Nathan ' s grandson. At Dallas, the family purshased or
hired a team and wagon and settled south of Dallas at Fairy(?). At that time
it seems that the large family was divided with the older children remaining
in Virginia .
There was no issue with the second marriage .
Nathan and Susan Waggoner Leslie's children were: Josephus A (1854),
Lora Virginia (1855), Nannie Judson (1852), Alonzo Chalmer (1860), Andrew M
(1866), William Walter (1868), Anna (1869) , Howard (1870), Charles Edward
(1873), and Ellira (1876).
Josephus, Anna , Walter, and Nannie remained in Virginia . Lora Vi rs.in ia
mo ved to Oklahoma where she died rather young. Alonzo Cha l mer (called
" Uncle Doc") went first to Texas, began his practice of medicine, and sent
for the rest of the fami ly. After remaining near Dallas for four years, the
family moved by covered wagon in 1890 to the plains of West Texas. They
settled near Hermleight, Scurry County, TX, where Nathan took up state land
at $1.00 per acre with 40 years to pay. The family lived for sometime in a
dugout, Nathan continued to preach, and his son, Charles Edward, also became
a Baptist preacher .
Nathan McClure Leslie died 15 February 1919 and is
buried in the Snyder Cemete r y in Snyder, Texas near his son Dr. Alonzo C
Leslie and his wife, Nathan Leslie ' s second wife, Susan Laymon is buried in
the Hermleigh Cemetery, Hermleigh, Texas .

CORRECTION
In the August 1991 VAN on p 96 in the listing of Pension Applications is an error #35 R C Browder served in Co F, 29th Virginia Infantry. This service is typed in at
#34 for John A Sutphin . Mr John A Sutphin is NOT listed in John Perry Alderman's
"29th VA Inf an try." I do not know the extent of the typographical error( s).
Camilla (Browder) Dean, RD 3 Box 82, Cambridge Springs , PA 16403.
[Editor's note: Our article was taken from photocopies of a record in Carrol
Co. I believe that the notes were taken by the board at various locations and
then recorded at the court house . How many errors were made we will never know .
And all who serve in the Civil War are not recorded. The only record of my
grandfather, James M Waskey, serving is his pension record.]

THE LAST WORD

I owe apologies to many people ~or not answering their mail and the fact that this
issue will be late coming out . Most of Nov 8 Dec I was out of town and on coming
back - I started the New Year with a 'cold' that kept me in for more than 2 weeks have a good case of ' cabin fever . ' This is for local members -- VAN needs help especially with typing . We need a query editor and another assistant editior.
And
don ' t say ' I know nothing about putting out a quarterly.' Learn on the job, as I
did.
Want to congradulate one of c ·r members . Richard Dickenson has been
appointed borough (Staten Island) h _5 torian. Dick (at that time with VP!) was a
speaker at our first workshop; he has ·contributed many articles to VAN and I hope he
will continue with his research in this area . Good luck Dick on your new job.

trustees, costs shall be taxed as provided by law. (1970, c. 94 . )
8 57-25. Condemnation of land for cemeteries. If it be desired at any time to

Virg.1.nia Appe.lach1an Notas

�13:{
Chapter 3 . - Cemeteries
Article 2. - Jointly Owned Cemeteries.
S 57-28. Cities and counties may establish. - Any city and county , or any number
of cities and counties, may jointly purchase or otherwise acquire land for the

purpose of improving and establishing a jointly owned cemetery or cemeteries,
and the governing bodies of the cities and counties purchasin g or acquiring
land for joint cemetery purpos es shall have the power t o pl a n a n y s u c h cemetery
and amend and revise any plans so made, to determine t h e per pe tua l u pk e ep requirements of s uch c e me t ery and of perpetual upkeep lot s therein, to f i x the
purchase price of all lots therein, and to designate pauper lot s and lots with
and without perpetual care . (1944,p . 326; Michie Suppl. 1946, S 53a.)
8 57-29. Trustees. - After acquiring and planning such cemetery of cemeteries,

the
circuit court of the county wherein the cemetery is located shall appoint not
less than five nor more than nine trustees, who shall reside in the city or
county, for the purpose of managing and controlling such cemetery.
The trustees
shall have the power to convey lots in the cemetery in accordance with the plan
thereof, without authority of court, and to include in deeds of conveyance
such reasonable restrictions and conditions as they deem advisable, and shall
have all other powers granted by general law to trustees of cemeteries.
Such
trustees shall , before entering upon the performance of their duties, give bond
with approved security and in such penalty as the court determines for the
faithful performance of their duties.(1944, p. 326; Michie Suppl . 1946, S 53a)

S 57-30. Funds from sale of lots and for perpetual upkeep. -

The trustees shall,
upon delivery of a deed for any lot or portion thereof, except a pauper lot,
collect the purchase price and pay it to the designated treasurer of either the
county or city establishing the cemetery. The amounts received from the sale of
lots or portions thereof as herein determined shall be used by the city and
county to pay for the cost of the land and improvements.
Al 1 funds for perpetual
upkeep shall be properly invested under the direction of the governing bodies
of the city and county. The balance of the purchase price of lots or portions
thereof, and so much of the income from invested perpetual care funds as may
be needed, shall be paid annually to the trustees, to be used by them along
with all other funds received by them for the maintenance, operation and upkeep
of the cemetery and of the perpetual care lots therein . (1944, p . 326; Michie
Suppl . 1946, S 53a.)
Article 3. - Disposition of Property for Maintenance and Care.

S 57-31. May be in perpetuity. - No disposition of property heretofore or hereafter made for the maintenance or care of any cemetery, burial ground, burial
lot in a cemetery, or monument, or other erections about such cemetery or
burial lot, shall fail by reason of such disposition having been made in perpetuity , but shall be valid.(Code 1919, S 59; 1918, p. 103; 1920, p. 10.)
- - to be continued
Learn ing about Virginia's laws which govern cemetery operations takes a little
time and study and it is comforting to feel that these laws protect both those
i n side a cemetery and those outside.
Our Gen ealogists who do a lot of work in cemeteries will be more interested in
the laws under Article 4 which deal with abandoned and neglected graveyards
and r emoval and r einterment of remains.

CORRECTIONS TO PULASKI CO . MARRIAGES
from Vol 15, Aug 1991
The editor pulled a boner - forgot to put the corrected pages in . First page
number is page number of VAN - 2nd number is page number of marriage register.
The corrections were made by people who are familiar with Pulaski Co. names.
Most of the differences concerned handwriting - was it a or o, n or r, s or
1, i or j , etc .
I (editor) don't know as I am not familiar with the county
names.

MURPHY'S LAW
FAMILY HISTORY given by members of the family.
Beware! Don't believe everything that you are told -- prove it. Occasionally it will be right, but so
many times there will be errors. A cousin told me that we were related to
Commodore Perry . After some research, we are related -- the man's given name
was Commodore. I found the same family legend in 3 related families.
The
only difference is who it happened to. Usually a generation or two are missing from the chart . One chart I have, the father was 5 years old when the
son was born or the chart where the mother was close to a 100 when her youngest child was born. And each person, who had the chart originally, swears
the charts are correct . On one chart, I spent several years researching a
wife's surname and then discovered that the chart had the wrong 'John Doe'
there was two men in the area by the same name and about the same age .
Of
course, the wrong one had been chosen. Don't give up - you have learned a
lot about research &amp; to prove each step before going to the next generation.
The researchers of today have more records available and know more about research so they are wil ling to be proven wrong because they know how easy it
is to make a mistake .

FRANKLIN COUNTY, VA, PUBLIC LIBRARY

The first Franklin County Public Library buildinq. located
directly behind the courthouse in Rocky Mount, was a ~if~ · from David
K.E. Bruce of Charlotte County , Virginia . Between 1937 and 1942 ~ Mr.
Bruce, who later serv~d as a mb assado~ to_En9land , ~ranee, Germa~y,
and NATO, and as spec i a l en~oy _ t~ China i~ ~he 197us, donated
libraries to eleven rural ~i~9inia com~ u~ities . With the exception
of Hanover County, the recipient loca l ities are all in the
southwestern part of the state and share common borders.
Like Franklin County's first public librar y, all of the
donated buildin9s are typical of the ~Bth ~entury style of colonial
Vir9 inia architecture and ~re a~mo~t . identical to each othet·. Mr .
Bruce reguested that colonial V1r9in1a colors be used for the
inter io rs, and the libraries b~ constructed f rom plans by the firm
of Claiborne &amp; Taylor Inc., which conducted the restoration of
Wi 1 1 ia msbL•. rq .
Besides the eleven buildi~9s, Mr. B~uce also donated
furnishings, eguip me n t, a n d a basic collect ion of books to each
county.
Unsuccessful in his att~m~t to remain anonymous as the
benefactor t~ the ele~en _ commu n1ties, Mr. Bruce ne ve r revealed why
he donated library buildings , _as opposed to s?me other for m
f
ed u cationa l ass~stance, n or did he ever expl ai n how he selec~ed the

VIRGINIA STATE LIBRARY &amp; ARCHIVES
Family bibles and family registers are frequently the only source of birth and
death records prior to 1853 when Va began recording vital statistics and during
the years 1896 through 1912 when Va did not require the registration of births
and deaths.
The growth of the Va State Library &amp; Archives collection of photocopies of bible records is dependent on private individuals having their records
duplicated.
The enclosed brochure describes how this process may be accomplished.
Would you please make your membership aware of "The Family Records." If your
members have any questions, please, do not hesitate to contact me at
(804) 786-2306. Sincerely yours, Chris Kolbe, Archivist.
From brochure:
••••• Placing your family Bible records in the Archives helps ensure that the information will be available to future generations of researchers.
Here is how to have your records placed in the Archives collection. *If you can
bring your original Bible to the Archives, we will make arrangements to copy the
family information for the collection at no charge.
*If you cannot visit the
Archives, make good quality photocopies of the title page of the Bible showing
the date of publication and any pages which record dates of birth, death , marriage or other important family information. Send the copies you make along with
information about the Virginia counties of residence of the families shown in the
record to the Archives and Records Division, Virginia State Library and Archives,
11th street at Capitol Square, Richmond, Virginia 23219-3491.
(Note from editor: Many family histories list the source as 'familly Bible ' - for
many this is not proof because they have not been able to see the Bible. By placing a copy in libraries where the public can see it, researchers have a sourc: of
information not heretofore available. Also, there is always the chance the B~ble
could be destroyed in your home - by fire, flood, being discarded by someone, etc .
Not only place a copy in the Archives but in a local library - more places the
copies are placed, the less chance of the record being lost. AND DON'T FORGET
THE VIRGINIA ROOM, ROANOKE PUBLIC LIBRARY.)

GILES COUNTY, VIRGINIA, 1860 CENSUS - ANNOTATED: compiled by Charles L Davis.
A brief history of the county &amp; maps of Pearisburg, jail &amp; county. The explanation of the 1860 census is very good and Mr Davis explains why you may not
find the person you are looking for even tho' you know he was in the county.
(Remember the 1990 census is NOT complete .) The census is printed as enumerated with additional information - family histories, births, marriages, deaths
(some from vital statist ics). There are good leads here but if you don 't agree
- prove it. All information is well set-up and easily read. There are se lections from John Sowers' newspaper "Pearisburg Gazette" 1868, 1869 on the people
of Giles, giving an idea of life for those years &amp; showing the importance of
this source for res e arch. There are photocopies of a few marriage consents .
For those who have n ot seen the original records, these are very easy to read
- not all records are this good. There is a complete given &amp; surname index
- the numbers ref er to the census number &amp; not the page number which make the
name easy to find.
The book is soft cover, 328 pgs, price $35.00
Order from:
Charles L Davis, 3308 Jermantown Road, Oakton, Va 22124. [Phone (703) 591-4027]

she was privileged to have had the assistance or Mrs Margaret Harman, clerk
or the Court and Marguerite Tise, a prominent genealogist or Floyd County
in editing oF all material prior to publication. May be ordered From the
author For $ 15.00 postpaid. Address: 1920 Heliotrope Drive, Santa Ana,
CA 92706.

PEDIGREE CHARTS
We have 14 completed volumes of pedigree charts in the Virginia Room of
the Roanoke City Public Library. My objective is to ascertain the interest
of our members-at-a-distance in access to this collection of valuable data .
For the past several years we have published one volume of surnames
each year, that is, surnames from Vol 1 through Vol 7. I have filled orders
for the charts on a very close to cost basis. This I can no longer do but
would like to find a method by which members living at a distance can know
the contents and can have some access to them.
1.
I have considered a booklet with the surname index for each volume
in it. This could be purchased at cost plus postage. Implementat ion would
have to be service through private researchers whose name s cou ld be included
with the master surname index.
2. Another possibility I have thought about would also be a booklet
for purchase including only the pedigree chart name. That usually indi cates
more linea ge data.
Those of you who have purchased charts already known
that they can vary from almost nothing to a page crammed with names , family
relationships and documental data.
This is an effort to know what you, our members , might wish. Please
write directly to Mary Jane Vaden, 2438 Memorial Ave SW, Roanoke , Va 24015.

Genealogical Hint
John Doe was born in Virginia - the records start in Botetourt Co, then he
'moves• to Montgomery Co, where he dies . His son, James, is married in Montgomery Co, and he 'moves' to Floyd Co . Oh, how our ancestors moved.
I doubt
very much if either one ever moved. This is where you must know the formation
of the counties of the state. John Doe ' s records are in Botetourt Co because
the other counties were not formed at that time and his land was in what is
now Floyd Co. Find out where the land that John Doe owned is located and then
what counties were formed and from what counties.
Each county must be researched for Does to find all the data on them that you can.
Th e formation
of counties is why you wil l find someone saying that James Doe wa s borned and
raised in Floyd Co and another say ing it was Montgomery County .

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
Photoduplication service of the Library of Congress: Many people do not realize
that many of your lines , or at least some, were published sometime back, in the
last 100 to 150 years . For example , I have a craig line. I want to know every
book ever written on the Craigs . I could write to the Library of Congress -it ' s the largest library in the Western Hemisphere - - and say, "Could you Xerox
every card on the surname Craig?" There are many of them: They Xerox them six
at a time each time they click the frame, and send them to me after I send them
the money .
Now , I .don't want every Craig book ever written. I just want to see the card ,
because the allied lines are on the bottom of the card. I can then see which
ones are kin to me . . . . . . .. . . . ......... . .... .

Fall,

GENEALOGICAL

1991

Dear Friends,
As the sununer ends and our vacations are over, we begin · to
think of more time spent in the Virginia Room and in talking with
others who share our interests.
I hope each of you had a great
summer .
Our next meeting will be September 21, 1991, and I hope we
will see a lot of you there. Unfortunately, we will be missing one
of our most · supportive members--Belva Counts.
Belva has moved to
h e r "mountain estate" in Southwest Virginia. We wil 1 miss her book
r ev i ew s in the VAN, her contributions to all our meetings, and her
smiling face.
Best wishes, Belva.
The Society has purchased an
addit i on to the Virginia Room in Belva ' s honor.
The Society will also be financing the purchase of some
addi t i onal books for the Virginia Room.
Since we are among the
mo s t frequ e nt users of these materials, we felt that the purchase
of s ome of the more expensive materials would be appropriate .
We
wou ld also like to hear from some of our distant members.
We
re a li ze that you are unable to attend our monthly meetings, and we
woul d like t o know if there is something
we could do for you.
Ba be is always looking for articles of interest to you all for
the VAN .
The VAN is published four times each year.
If you have
somet hing y ou would like to submit to her, please follow the
di r e c tions i n this issue.
If you have a particular interest which
has not b een published, let her know.
I am looking forward to another great fall, and I hope to hear
from many of you .

THE PIONEER DAUG HTER of BENJ AMI N a nd RUTH HOUGH

by Betty

~il son

Thomas

13enjamin lf our,ll' s e reat grandson, Jonas Durman Wilson, (1808 - 1887) , left
his family a Jo urnal r ecord ing his own experiences as a frontier Baptist
preacher; he in cl uded a ce nealogical record noting many family groups dating
back to Benjami.n &lt;1nd 11uth ll ough , including birth dates.· (The Journal is now
in th e possession of his g reat grandson, Larry Wilson of Monrovia, CA) Benjamin Hou Gll/flufl \..ia s born :28 Dec 1 718 ; he died 25 Jan 1791 in Virginia . His
wife , Ruth , ~a s born 4 May 1 713 ; she died after 1800, probably in Grainger
Co , T e nn essPC' .
The first documented ev i de nce of Benjamin Hough ' s presence in Va was
fo un d in the court house r ecords in Le esb urg on a 1769 tithable l i st of Lou d on county residents .
Althou g h there is a we l l established (Quaker) Hough
1 inc i. n Lou do n Co , no connect i on has been found to Benjamin Hough , nor to his
wife Ruth.
In 1771, Be nj am in Hou g h's sons-in-law, Joshua Wilson and Cornelius Reed , were found o n th e same S helburne Parish, Loudon Co tithable list
with Benja mi n "ll off " and hi s sons , Joseph and John " Hoff". Discovering all
3 famili es in th e same area 1..ias th e first indic a tion of their early whereabout s ; this was co n sidered to b e an exciting breakthrough for Hough r esearchers .
Furth e r e xamination of the actual L oudon Co courthous e records
revealed that Jos hu a Wilson was on the tithable lists from 1769 through 177 2 ;
Benjamin was li ste d th e r e in 1769 and 1771 , and Cornelius Reed appeared in
1771 and ]772 .
Be njamin " !lu f f " is mentioned several times in Summer ' s "Annals of Southwest Virgi ni a ' ' : p 1 9 7 (in 1773) a s a surveyor of roads on Bent Mountain; on
p 319-320 , at court held for Botetourt Co the 11 May 1780, it was ordered
that Benjamin Hu ff ''with the tithables in the bounds of Captain Wi llson' s
Company of militi a open (a road) and keep the same in repair as the law directs ." On p 372, 8 May 1783, Benjamin Huff was " exempted from payment of
Cou nty l e vies in f uture on account of his age and i nfirmity " .
By 17 83, Benjamin Huf f owned 200 acres near Bent Mountain, wh i ch is now in Floyd Co,
south of present day Roanoke, Va . (See Charles Burton ' s " Botetourt County,
Virginia, Early Settlers ' ': Benjamin Huff, 1782, tax on 200 acres) .
An earlier reference, in Cartmell ' s "Shenandoah Valle y Pioneers and
The ir Descendants" , p 500 : " The Huffs of that section (Frederick Co, Va, east
of Newtown, n ea r the Clarke line) , John and Joseph are sons of an enterprisin g father, who spent money in prospecting for silver in that section many
years ago ''.
This is widely believed to b e a reference to Benjamin Huff .
'' Keg l e y ' s Virginia Frontier " by F B Kegley (1938), p 561, name ' s early residents of Bent Mountain , Captain Martin ' s Company: included were Benjamin
"Huff '' &amp; John Huff son of Benjamin.
In Stoner ' s "A Seed-bed of th e Republic" ,
p 1.Li 3, Benjamin Huff is na med among " Ot h er people furnishing materials or
service in war effort :
Order Book 1780- 1784". In "West Virginia Revolutionar y Ancestors ,'' whose services were non-military and whose names, theref ore, do not appear in Revolut i onary indexes of Soldiers and Sailors compiled
by Anne Wall er Redd y (1979) .
An index from Manuscript Public Cla im s of the
Revolutionary War in the Virginia State Library. p 40, " Hu ff, Benjamin Bote tou r t County ".
For many yea~s, gene a lo gis ts have known about the Mont g omery Co, Va
co urt record settling the estate of John Hough in 17 99; John bought some l and
and died b ef ore it was surveyed (A 20 0 acre e n try made 5 Mar 1 793 on land

The
name of Benjamin Hough, the father , wa s not me ntion0cl :
110 d i0 d 2r, ,J&lt;tn 17Ql,
according to the Journal of Jon as Durman Wil son .
(1)
Catherine Hough Wilson (b 6 Sept 17 118 ) a n d .Jo sh u a ( b lU Se&gt; pt 17L10 )
had nine children born between 17 65 and 17 83 .
Th e c 1c! e&gt;s r, Hcnjam in, h as b 4
Aug 1765 .
It is presumed they were marri ed ca l 7 611 ; but , no rec or ct h as been
found in Virginia .
Family stories indicat e that Jo s hu&lt;t \" i l so n ' s ancestors
were Scottish ; they came to America by way of IJl s tcr , in northern Ireland .
Many Scotch-Irish fam ilies settled in Loudon Co , Va in th e early 1700 ' s .
Catherina and Joshua Wilson moved from the Loudon Co area pr i or to 17 83 ;
their youngest chi ld, Elizabeth, was born 29 March 17 83 .
They set tled on
Brush Creek , a branch of the Little Riv er , west of Hoanoke .
They r e main ed
there until the late 1790's ; a deed of sale was record ~d for t h e i r property
in 1802 (Montgomery Co, Va, Dd Bk C , p 494).
Joshua Wilson was living in Lincoln Co , Ky in 1800, when h e ga v e hi s indenture to Thomas Lee for the land inherit ed fro m John llou g h. Catherine a nd
Joshua Wilson had moved on throu g h th e Cumberland Gap to the pres e nt So me rs et ,
Ky area.
They were accompanied by their son, Jonah Wilson and h is wi fe ,
Elizabeth Dearman (my ancestors) and by other children a nd g rand chi l dre n.
They lived in the Linco ln, Rockcastle and P ul ask i County area for many years .
Jonas Durman Wilson , my grea t grandfather, was born i n Rocke a st le Co , K y in
1808 .
(2) Sarah Hough, and her husband, Cornelius Reed/Read , rem ained in Loudon Co longer than the other sisters ; perhaps, until afte r the death of her
father -in-law , Jonathan Reed in 1791 (wills of Loudon Co , Va) .
Numerous Read
/Reed families resided in Montgomery Co, Va in the 1790 ' s , including Cor neliu s
Read Jt.:nior , Cornel ius Read Senior, was living in Montgomery Co , Va in 1800
when he gave his indenture to Thomas Lee for the land inherited fro m his
father- in-law, John Hou gh .
We do not have a complete l i s t of the Read c hildren , or birth and death dates for Sarah Hough Read a nd Cornel iu s Read .
(3) Elizabe th Hough married John Wil son.
It is not known whether he
was related to Joshua Wilson.
There was only one John Wilson family recorded on the Franklin Co Tax list in 1800 (at th e time a John Wilson and hi s wife
Elizabeth Hough of Franklin Co , Va were n amed as h e i r s to her brother, John
Hough) . We have a Frank lin Co record o f a John and E l izabet h Wilson, with
ten children , who left for Barren Co, Ky in 1808 . Their daughter, Sarah,

Notes

�Cf3
married Joseph \\ooten , 25 Dec 1805 , in Franklin Co, Va ; they had a son, Wil1 iam "li uff '' \foote n .
(Sarah died 12 Apr 1857 in Barren Co, Ky). We need
proof that these we re the children of Elizabeth Hough Wilson , and the grandchi ldrcn of Be njamin and Ruth Hough .
(l1)
Char ity llough married (21 June 1783) James Renfro, a Revolutionary
~ar so l cli cr from Bedford Co , Va; they owned land on the Little River, adjacc n t t o t Ile home of Ca th er ine and Joshua Wilson . Both families sold their
l ane! in Montgomery Co, Va a b out the same time (1798 -1800) . The Renfros settl ed land in Tennessee , just south of th e Cumberland Gap . Later they b eca me
early sc Ltler s or Pi n ev ille, Ky (Knox/Bell Co) . There has been considerable
doc umentatio n of this family ; their gravestones were relocated to the Pinevi ll e Cemetery by th e ir Moss family descendants, after their graves and
their o l cl h o mes t ead were coverert by floodwaters of the Cumberland River. The
era v &lt;?s t o n e of Charity Ann " Hu ff'' Renfro indicates that she was b 23 Dec 17 63
a nrl d 6 Nar 1 831 .
Charity had twelve children born 1784 to 1809.
( 5 ) Jerusha Hou g h was married to Thomas Lee (son of Stephen Lee) in
Bed f o rd, Botetourt Co , Va , 15 Aug 1788 (her mother, Ruth Hough , signed the
consent) ; they liv ed in Montgomery Co, Va from about 1790 to 1798, according
to the annual Personal ?ropery data in the Virginia State Archives.
By 1800
they liad moved to Gr a in ger Co. , Tn (later Claibourne Co . ) It is believed
that Ruth ll ough accompani ed them, as she gave her indenture to Thomas Lee in
in 1800 in Grainger Co, Tn for the share of land she inherited from her son,
John !lau gh .
She was 76 years old then . It is n ot known when or where she
died .
Thomas Lee d ied 27 January 1839 in Tennessee . Jerusha was born in
1766 in Va and d i ed after 1850 in Tennesse e . They had seven children.
Family group sheets for all 5 of the Hough sisters have been partially
completed fro m family records, Virginia marriage records, etc . Exchange of
group sh~ets , including additions or corrections , will be welcomed from
others researc hing these same lines .
Th e 5 Ho u g h daughters rep resent the strength and courage o f our pioneer
gra ndm others who shared the hardships of the wildernes~ frontier with their
brave and resourceful husbands; they raised lar ge fami lies who homesteaded
along the \vild rivers and western trails, as soon as these areas were open ed
to settlers, Benjamin and Ruth Hough le ft numerous grandchi l dren (in Virginia,
Tennessee, Ke ntucky, Indiana and Missouri) who are proud of their pioneer
h e rita ge .

JACOB PETERS, SR .

(1744 - 1814)

*Contributed by
Ted A. Peters
Jacob Peters , Sr. was born in Germany in l 74 -l
lie came
to the United States about 1762 or 1763 and sctt l e&lt;l j n ('?)
Berkeley (Rockbridge County) , Virginia. li e later move&lt;l to
Washington or Russell County , Virginia. lie marrie&lt;l ,\nnic
(last name unknown , born about 1748) about 1 768 . .Jacob, Sr.
was a farmer and had a large amount of land . There is no record
of his moving to Scott County , so it is assumed that he is
buried in Washington or Russell County , Virginia.
Sc.ott
County was formed from a portion of Russell County but I do
not believe Jacob Sro ' s land was part of it o lie had five
children - four sons and one daught er :
John (1770 - 1823) , Henry (1771 - UnknO\vn), .Jessee
(1774 - Unknown) , Jacob Jr o (1779 - 1862) , and
Annie (1781 - Unknown) .
The 1810 tax list and supplement to 1810 census for
Russell County , Virginia (which at that time included the
present Scott County (18 1 4) , Wise County (1856) , Dickerson
County (1880) , Buchan an County (1858) and present Russell
County) included one Jacob Peters . This is most likely our
ancestor.
JACOB PETERS , JR .
(1779 - 1862)
(So n o f Jacob Peters , Sro)
It is not known when or why Jacob, Jr o came t o Scott
County , Virginia. He married Catherine Hacker (1786 - 1859),
daughter of Jonas a nd Elizabeth Hacker , about 1801 .
He was
a land owner and successful farmer o They lived and died in
the Cooper Ridge area (now known as the Midw~y Community)
of Scott County , Virginia . They had four children :
John (1804
( 1808 -

), Henry (1806 ) , and Ira Do (1810 -

�THE SELU CONSERVANCY OF RADFORD UNIVERSITY
RADFORD, VIRGINIA
Grace Toney Edwards

Selu Conservancy -- the name has a ring of Cherokee to it, and indeed the word scl u means in the
Cherokee language •corn," or "the grandmother corn spi rit." At Radford U nivers ity Sclu s ignifi 4..!S a la rge
reel of land donated to the University Foundation in the fall of 1989 by John Bowles o f 0 1mb riu gc.
~assachusetts. Mr. Bowles gave almost 200 acres that include woods, meadows, and river frontage a lo n g th e
L'ttle River in the Dry Valley section of Montgomery County. He designated the gift as a co nscrvam.-y for the
~ysical, cultural, and social environments of the area. At the same time that the natural habitats of the Oora
~nd fauna are being protected, however, Mr. Bowles also has encouraged responsible usilge for cuuca tio nal
objectives.
With that charge the faculty and students of the Appalachian Studies Program set out to learn about the
history of the property. and to take appropriate st~ps to preserve the cultural hcri tagc associated with it. The
learning process prom~s~ to be ongomg mto the mdefini~e future, but to date we know that the prope rty was
farmed by various fam1hes, many of them ten~nt~, up until about 1955. Still s tanding, at the. time o f Radford
University's acquisition, were two log outbu1ldmgs, a newer frame barn, and o ne b rick chimney from the
Scottish-influenced I-house that once served as t~e.homeplace. These buildings, excludi ng the barn, like ly date
back to the late 1800s, though one of the outbu1ldmgs could be older, as suggcsled by the s ize of the logs and
the building style.
Nearer the river, under the protection of a hill, stands a single-pen log house, which at one time had a
ki°tchen built onto the back.. The house cc:&gt;ntains interior vertical panelin g, a partially boxed sta irway leading
to a spacious loft, a large bnckand stone flrep.lace, and an opening in the chimney upstai rs fo r what mus t have
been the f]ue for a small wood heater. Outside, the logs arc primarily yellow pine with some poplar mixed
· . the chimney is a masterful work of field stone, obviously collected from right around the house si te. The
m,
·h
V
Jogs, joined at the corners w1~ common -notches, are chinked with tightly wedged wood ch ips in a diagonal
pauern, then covered over with cement, surely a more recent addition that probably replaced the o rigina l clay
or mud. This house, too, appears to date back to the late 1800s.
With these vestiges of a cultural legacy to build on, Appalachian Studies students and faculty have begun
to collect oral history from former tenants; to conduct deed, map, and census searches; to excavate around the
house site fo r archaelogical artifacts; to photograph all evidences of materia l culture; and to res tore the
deteriorating buildings. The latter project was taken on by two Appalachian Folklo re classes in the fall of
1990 under the direction of restoration specialist Thurlowe Scudder.
The first Saturday on the site offered a lesson in squaring a po plar log for building purposes. It also
offered a lesson in humility: ~r. Scudder informed the students that the typical log house in pioneer days was
erected in about one week's time fr~m the moment the builder stepped into the woods to cu t the trees to the
moment he closed the door on his new home. In contrast, it took sixteen R. U. studen ts and faculty
approximately five hours to hew one log on two sides! At that rate we might have put a building up in two
years, but fortunately we had the resource of modern technology to call on.
With the help of a trusty sawmill and the expert guidance o f Mr. Scudde r, the students lea rne d to meas ure
and notch new logs to replace the rotten ones, to lift and carry heavy 10gs, to match notches in .order to set
the logs in place, and ultimately to celebrate the erection of the resL.ored s mo kehouse. As the .wintry days or
De.cember sent students into final exams and tow~r~ home fo! Chnstma~, Mr: ~cudder .. and ..his ~r~w mov~d
in to complete the restoration of the second outbutldmg, t~e cnb. As of this wnung, two new bu1ld111gs grace
the rounds of the Selu Conservancy. They carry somethtng of a checkerboa~d look to the m because of the
mix~re of old gray logs and new yellow poplar; but th~ poplar will weathe r quickly, J am told, and the strokes
of nature's paintbrush will soon make them all of a like hue.

I

�Our reason for restoring these buildings encompassed a two-fold goal: first and most immediately, to
provide a hands-o n learnin g act ivity for students in Appalachian Folklore classes; second and more longrange, to produce a nucleus for a living culture museum that we hope will serve both the university and larger
surrounding commu nities. From o ur earliest involvement with the Selu Conservancy Project, Appalachian
Studies has envisio ned a living cu lture museum whose goal will be to depict the recoverable past, that is, early10 mid-twentiet h century. We have informan ts who actually lived on the farm in the 1930s and 1940s, and we
arc look ing for ot hers who know something of the life there before 1930. Our dream is to restore the log
house described above and to reconstruct the I-house that served as the homeplace on the property.
Our task has hccom e m ore challenging in recent weeks by virtue of a new gift of an additional 200 acres
in the same area. This gift comes from another branch of the Bowles family, the heirs of Hargrove "Skipper"
Bowles of North Carolina. lt is directly traceable to the influence of the original donor, John Bowles.
In ou r attempt to learn as much as possible about the history and culture of this land and the people who
have lived on it, we welcome information, suggestions, and help. The property, in the amount of
approxima tely 400 acres now, is l ocated in the Dry Valley area of Montgomery County, along the Cracker's
Neck section of the Little River about one to three miles northeast of its confluence with the New River.
Before the Bowles family owned it, it belonged to J. S. Peters, to W. L. and Arintha Peters, to N. T. Showalter,
to N. B. Harvey, and others as the years unfold back-wards. Parts of it have joined land known as the Grange
tract, the Zoll l and, the Sale land, and the John Peterson tract.

1. County Courts are composed of Just ices appointed a nd
commis sio n ed
by
the Governor with the advice of the Council of State .•. ••• .• • Four Justices
at least are necessary to compose a Court , and on the
tria 1
of
slav es,
charged with felony, the number cons is ts of five at the least.
The j ust. es serve with out fee •.• · . for al though it is sometime s said that the ann~~l appointment of the Justices ~n rotation to the office of Sheriff with
t h e continuance for two years , is a compensation for the Judicial office .
These are Cour t s of general jurisdiction in Law and Equity; the most imortant duties in matters of police and economy are confided to them;
they
~ominate militia officers (below brigadiers) , sheriffs , coroners , &amp; c, and
they are Examining Courts of free persons charged with offences , and decide
and acquitted from further
prose cut ion ,
wh e ther they shall be discharged,
.
r may be tried in the Superior or County courts .
0
The corporation Courts are composed of a Mayor, Reco-rder and Aldermen;
their appointment , etc, depend on the charters of the
respective
cities ,
boroughs and towns.
2 • The General Court , and Circuit or Superior Courts, -- The Judges of the
Ge~eral Court are appoint by joint ballot of the two Houses of Assembly
and hold their office during good behavior .
At the first organization of this court in Oct 1777 , it consisted of S
·udges, anY 3 of whom to form a quorum .
J At that time, its jurisdiction was general
over
all
persons, and
in
causes, matters or things at Common Law, whether brought before them by
origina l process, by appeal · • • • • · • ·
But no original suit could be brough t
fo r a less sum than ten lbs, or 2, 000 lbs of tobacco .
The process
of
t he
Court extended to every county of the State .
I t was a Court of Oyer &amp; Term i ner f or the trial of all treasons , murders
felonie s, and other crimes and misdemesnors, commi t ted by any free person .
Offender s in any part of the State charged with
treason, or
felony
must
have been, and with misdemesnors might be , tried there •
••.•••••••• By the Act of 22 Dec 1788 , District Courts wer e establis~~~: ••The General Court by the Act of 25 De c, was made to consist of ten
judges, and they were made judges of the District Co u rts .
Each dis t r i ct
consisted of several counties.
2 judges were to sit in each
cour t.
Ther e
were finally 19 districts, and to each couple of judges, were allo t ed four
districts, except one, which had 3 districts.
The who l e of
the
jur isd i c tion of the General Court in civil a n d crim i na l cases , (with certain excep tions , ) was transferred to the District Cour t s , t heir authority extendin g
over the respective districts, as that of the General Court
did
over
t he
whole State. No original suit or appeal was, however, al l owed for a less
sum than $100, or 3,000 lbs of tobacco; now
any
Supersedeas, or Writ
of
Error, for a less sum than $33 1/3, or 1,000 lbs of tobacco .
.
.
.
The General Court being thus stripped of the gr~ater part of its Jur i~ ­
diction, it was declared that 3 . ju~ges s hould con st i ~ute a Cour t, except i n
c ases of impeachment, when a maJO't'Lty of 10 was required.

�HINTS ON MARRIAGE IN VIRGINIA
by Babe Fowler
Reading a paper on a Virginia family, it stated that there were two dates for
a marriage - 5 Au g or 9 Aug 1819. The 1st date is probably the marriage bond
a nd the 2nd the date of marriage . After the Revolutionary War, there were 2
way s to be married.
(1) Banns: To announced publicily (usually in church &amp;
once a week) for 3 consecutive weeks their intentions to be married . The
mini ster who preformed the marriages was to record it in the court house. The
on l y payment (if the groom had any money) was to the minister.
(2) The groom-to-be would go to the court house and obtain a marriage bond.
The bond meant that there was no reason why the marriage woul d not take place.
The s urety wo uld be a relative, frie nd, or a person at the court house who
kn ew the g room and had property that amounted to the amount listed on the bond.
If the bride or groom was under"age, the parents or guardian were to give permission - written or oral - for the couple to be married or state that they
were of age.
I have fou nd this age qualification noted on the back of th e
bond. This bond was to be r ecorded in the marriage bond register after a fee
had been paid to the clerk. This fee was one of the reasons that many were
married by banns and many lived too far from the court house to get a license.
The clerk then gave a license, which the groom gave to the minister performing the marriage who f illed it out with the date of marriage &amp; returned it to
the clerk at th e court, who then recorded it i n the m1n1ster returns book.
The minister often only filled out a sheet of paper with one or more marriages
t hat he had performed over a period of time and returned that to the clerk.
This law applied until 1853 when the bond was no longer required . The form s
we r e printed but generally written out. The bonds after being recorded were
often put to other u ses as paper was scarce, thrown out for lack of space,
destroyed when the court house was burned, given away or stolen, - so we are
lucky , if we find any of the marriag e documents in the court house.
Mur phy ' s Law on Marriages
Now that you know what the law (ther e were other le ga l requirements but the
above are the major points) was and what shou l d have been done - rememb er
that humans wer e doing these things . The minister may not have recorded the
marriage (could h e write?), put the wrong date (day, month, year) down; put
the wrong name down (one min ister return, the minist e r put down the fat h er ' s
name in s tead of the bride) or spel l ed the name in such a way that it c ouldn't
possibly be the nam e you are looking for (go by sound). Or the minister recorded 'y o u r ' marriage in a noth er. county. Many of th e ministers consid ered
the marriag e records as their personal property - not that of their church.
Many of these records have turned up in private co l lections, archiv es, public
&amp; private l i braries . What were the beliefs regarding marriage of the minister
that performed the marriages? I was g iven this explanation as to why some
ministers d i d not record marriages in t he court house. I do not know if it is
true - but it sounds logical. After the Revolution, many of the ministers
sta t ed that marria ge was a religious rite and not a civil rite , therefore,
it was n ot the concern of the state and d id not have to be recorded with the
s t a te. This wen t on until t he questi o n of who was the legal heirs -- no recorded marriage, then other member s of the family would i nhe rit.

in
both
counties.
And
the
m1n1s~er re
t
coun ies,
h d d" d
cord the marriage in another county.
If the clerk of a county a
ie or
for some reason was not available, the groom would go the an~ther county for
the bond - also, if there was an illness, such as smallpox, in.th e area.
The
couple wou1 n rross state lines to be married . Be known by a_n1c~name or middle name and use their first name only - mi ght be the only time it was ever
used. Living too far from the court house, the coup l e may be married .by an.
itinerant minister or married by a parent or friend who wa s a layman in their
church without a license. When the license was obtained , they were 'legally '
married with their small children close by.
Now for the clerks and their offices. Remember that the marriage books are
copies and some books have been copied several times . Those of you who have
re ad the early records know that the handwriting can be beautiful to unreadable. The clerk and those who copied the original could h ave misread the
names just as many of us have done. Marriag es could have been comb ined making one when there is actually two. Indexes can be wrong - unable to read
the names so the wrong one is put in the index and you look no farther .
One 'last ' word - on the books that have been published. I have heard many
people say, "Wel 1 , it was printed by - -- - - and ----- and ---- - so it must be
true." Once a date , name, etc, has been published, someone else prints it ,
another printing, so it must be true as so man y sources have the same information. Use any printe d material as an aid in your research not as a fac t .
There are genealogists, who have published records, that I am more willing to
believe than others. If possible, see if you can get a copy of the original
documen ts.
The worst is the book that states the records are here because
the law required it. The law may require it, but us humans don ' t always do
what the law tells us to do. And the archives and libraries are on the bottom of the list for r e ceiving government monies, so many of the documents are
unknown or have been destroyed by not having proper storage facilities . The
typist makes errors, the printer makes errors and all are not caught .
I know
for I have made too many errors that has not been caught until after VAN has
been printed.
The last four paragraphs are just a few of the reasons of why you can ' t find
the record that you need. And then there are some things that I haven ' t
thought of that will happen to you and make you go up the wall .
But don ' t
give up, the data may turn up when you least expect it and whe r e it is not
suppose to be. Th en there are the good things - like getting al l 5 mar riage
documents, having someone hand you the data you need without asking for it .

MAIDEN NAMES
by Robert Hoover
Wit hout a doubt , u n k n own "maiden names" can prove to be one of the most difficult thi n gs to locate in genea lo gy work. Unfortunate ly, in our frustration,
we often tend to overlook two of the most prolific sources available for this
in formation.
Th ey can be fou nd a mong t he local property record archives.
Name ly, they are " DEEDS " and "MORTGAGES". The techniques are as follows :
1.
"O F.EDS ".
In the lower left hand corner of most deeds you will find
th e s i gnat u res of fr om two to four witnesses . The firs t one is always from
th e husband ' s side . The next one is always from the wife's side. That is
to protect h er one/third dower righ t under the law. Nothing you will ever
use will give you g re ater clues to maiden names than the witnesses on those
.::ild ti me deeds.
2.
"MORTGAGES " . I n th e 1800's and even long before that, it was traditional, wh en the daughter got married, as a part of her dowry, for her
father to either cover the loa n or carry the no te for his son-in-law. So, if
you are working in Nova Scotia or New York in 1840 and you know his name and
he is married to Anna Maria, but, you don't know her maiden name, find out
who they were mak i n g the ir payments to , bec a use 70% of th e times it will be
her fat h er ! !
The mort gag e re cords in America, including Canada, and the witnesses on deeds
are ou t great es t c lue to maiden names. Us e them !!
f~om 'Cracker Crumbs ', Manasota Gen Soc Inc , 1405 - 4th Ave W, Bradenton,
Fla 34205 .
(Editor's not e : DEEDS: The law of Virginia was that the wife was examined in
''privy" (without the husband bein g present) as to whether she was selling her
dower ri ght of her own free will and not under duress. If she was not examined, the wife could come bacl{ at a l at er date and sue for her dowry right .
You may not always find witnesses to the de e d because of the .. privy" law.
If the deed was written at home, there will probably be 4 or more witnesses.
A few not es on deeds:
It was up to the grantee to record the deed and, many
times, h e did not record it. Or he wou ld sell the property without record ing it. [More problems for us] When t his happens, a later buyer might sue
former owners or h e irs to obtain a clear title to the proper ty . Their
statements would prove relationships. To b e sure of what applies to your
research, check th e laws of that state a nd remember that we are dealing with
people who do not a lwa ys do what the law states. Also the clerk may not
have recorded the deed when it came in or recorded it many years later. so
check all the records in the deed books for that name you are lookin g for -for some names, us e your common sense.)

Genealogical Hint

DEEDS : Usually a deed that is sold will be found in the index under the name
of the owner who sold it.
But, if the land was sold to settle a lien, the
owner ' s name will not be in the index, but under the commissioner's name (the
person whom the court appointed to handle the sale) will be listed as the
granter.

The book has 142 pages
and indexed for the following districts (1) Alum Ridge, (2) Burks Fort, (3)
Indian Village, ( 4) Jacksonvi l le, (5) Little River, (6) Locust Grove. The
price of the book is $13.00 postpaid.

GGTTFRIED PABST

:809------- -- - 1895

by
Lucille R . Mc Millan
~ y great - grandfa t her , Johann Heinrich Gottfried PABST ,
was b r r~ i~ 3aden - 3aden , Ge rmany the 11 June 1809 . All inforrnatiun .:. :l8Ve comes from family records . I have no record of his
narents , but he was one of eighteen (18) sons, and we know there
~as 0ne sister , Rowenia, who came to America with her husband ,
George ·:·i i:.l·:T L; C::J, .
A rr.an born in Germany gave this information . "The PABST
family we re highly skilled reonle ; some were locksmiths ; some
were go ld and silver smiths; some were jewelers; some were brewers and some were ~eavers of fine cloth . They were hearty,
healthy , hard working people ; domestic , full of good nature and
11
music ally inclined .
~y ancest ors were .weavers of cloth for many generations ,
but my great - grandfathe r didn ' t like weaving at all . In fact he
disliked it s o much that h~ took a sharp knife and cut all the
webbing out of the lo?m · His father, who did not believe in whipping children , . to punish the ?oy for his rebellion , said , 11 In
this family children obe~ their parents , but because you have
rebelled aganist the_family_tradition , I will apprentice you out
to a. lor.ksmi th . " . Thi s h~ did .
Johann 11ked_th1s work and became very proficient , and
having a n inventive mi~d he began.working on a combination lock.
·!hen he had perfected it he gave it to the Emperor. It was so
'-ntri cate that he had to show the Emperor how it worked . The
tmperor was s? pleased with the_lock and wanted to reward Johann.
He as ~ed him if there w~s anyth ing he could do for him . Johann
had been dreaming of going to Am~rica , so he asked for and received permission ~nd passage for himself and his brother Frederick
to come to America .
() ne of hi s daughters said that he came ove r here when
he was 2 1 years old . If so , they came in 1830 . They landed in
nort of Baltimor~ and g~eat - grandfather worked on the Baltimore
aail r oad f t)r a while. ~his same daughter said that he boarded
with a family in Balt imore and that the man 's wife fell in love
with Joha nn , so he left to keep from getting into trouble. He
then came to Gainsborough Va .
which was a small settl ement
in the center of what is now Roa n oke .
Joh ann did not like the way people pronounced his name
so to make it so it would be pronounced the way it was in
Germany , he changed the spelling and he became John Henry Godfrey
prB8~ .
He later dropped the John, and was known as Hen· ry G.
POBST .
Pabst is German for Pope a nd came from the so-called
" Viystery pl ays" which were nopular throughout all Europe in the
middle ages . They were nearly always Biblical and ecclesiastical
in form and motif. _Often those who took part were surnamed, by
their nei g hbors , with the name of the part they played, therefore,
a person playing the part ?f a pope in the ~lay became known as
PCP1•; in English , or PABS'r in German .

Hwy 81, turn left on F047 (North) to state road 672, cross Claytor
Lake (New River) to 693, turn left to 669. You will pass Cecil ' s
Chapel, continue on toward the lake, bear to the left at the fork
a nd cemetery is nearly right on the lake, fenced in. It was last
c l eaned in 1986 and badly in need of cleaning now. Pulaski Cty , Va .

CUNNINGHAM FAMILY
contributed by
Kenneth Blech*
The Cunningham Family is listed in Douglas Peerage -- Vol . I, p 632 ,
Warnebald , the progenitor of this family , settled in Glenga:rnock or Cunningham as a vassal under Hugh Moreville , Constable of Scotland , who died
i n 1162 , and from whom he obtained the Manor of Cunningham , which comprised the Church and a greater part of the parish of Kilmaurs .
He turned from a common vassal to a valued leader of Hugh Moreville ' s army .
From these holdings Warnebald received the right to assume the name of
Cunningham. Glengarnock or Cunningham Castle still s tands in the edge
of the Garnock river , two miles north of Kilbirnie , Scotland .
It was
sacked in the early times by the Danes .
Through the force of arms and general striving , the family made its elf one of the fore most clans of Scotland, and this clan , until recently headed by Sir William Montgomery Cunningham, is still strong and
active . Harvey de Cunningham, family tradition holds , fought at the
battle of Largs in 126J and there by earned a con£innation the following
year from Alexander II .
In 1321 Hugh de Cunningham got lands of Lamburton from Ro be rt the
Bruce and thereafter a series of marriages moved the family ahead .
Hugh
de Cunningham ' s grandson , Sir William Cunningham married the heires s of
funly and his grandson , Sir Alexander Cunningham was created Lord of
Kilmaurs about 1462 and Earl of Glencairn in 1488. Robert, 2nd Lai.rd of
Kilmaurs, was deprived of his father ' s earldom, but i t was revi ved for
his brother, Cuthbert, Jrd Lai rd of Kilmaurs.
Various members of the Cunningham family clan played parts in the exci ting and colorful life of Mary, Queen of Scots, and it was that regal
lady who lifted one branch of the family into a feudal barony .
Alexander
Cunningham , 5th Earl of Glencairn , was one of the most -prominent and active members of the family , being one of the promoters of the Reformation of Scotland . He stopped the advance of Mary , Queen of Scots , with
a force of 2500 volunteers .
There are two coat of arms registered to the Cunninghams .
The oldest, of Glencairn , has for it's central figure , a fork and on each side
a coney or rabbit. The crests are a crown and a unicorn .
The motto i s
11
"Over, fork Over.
The other or latest coat of arms has the fork and
the unicorn as crests and the same motto , but instead of coneys or rabbits at the sides, one side has a soldier with a spear and the other side
has a farmer holding a fork.
In connection with the name Cunningham , it was variously spelled as
Conyngham , Cuningham, Kinnickum, Cuninghame, and Cunningham.
The old
Anglo-Saxon spelling was Cyningham , meaning King ' s Home.
The family was
prolific and by the time that the King of England demanded their all egi ance to him as head of the Church of England , their numbers were wide
spread throughout England, Ireland and Scotland.

TVIRGINIA-APPALACHIAN NOTES

�The people of Scotland were Presbyterians , with a deep religious
char acter and extremely conscentious. Their material accomplishments as
pioneers , a dventurers, traders , statemanship , literature, and in finance
s howed t hem to be the peers of any of the peoples of the world . The
Presbyterians of Scotland were persecuted by the English when they refused their allegiance to hi m as head of the church. The persecution
was so great that many of the Scots were tortured and slain under the
s o called heresy laws of the time . Thousands immigrated to no rthern
Ireland to lands previously devastated by the English . In the mid 1600 ' s
and early 1700's many came to America . The first to come settled in the
Boston area , and those in the 1700's settled in Virginia and were the
ancestors of the West Virginia families .

Their son

Alexander Cunningham (1653-1749) md 1701 Rebbeca Burns , a Scot .
Alexander's sons were the progenitors of nearly all of the early
Cunningham families of Virginia, West Virginia , Pennsylvania and Ohio .
All these s ons came to America in 1752 , except Joseph . He held a trusted position in the British government . He visited relatives in America
immediately prior to the Revolution . His son , John , stayed here and was
active in West Virginia affairs .
The Children of Alexander Cunningham:
Hugh Cunningham (b 1708) md 1729 Nancy O' Neil (b 1728) Irish.
Robert Cunningham (1713-1784) md 1734 Catherine Sinnet ; she was Irish.
Joseph Cunningham (1721-1801) md 1744 Elizabeth Harris, a Scot.

These sons of Alexander left relatives in the counties of Marion ,
Monogalia , Harrison , Ritchie and Braxton in (West) Virgini a and thr oug h
out the Ohio Valley.
Hugh, his brothers and their families immigrated to Fairfax County,
Virginia. They entered this country by the Potomac river. The Coun ty
was formed by the Fairfax family. Other settlers in the neighborhood

�were the Culpeppers , the Arlingtons , and the Spots woods .
Fami ly lore
notes that these early families employed the Cunningham men as trade::rs
and business emissaries in the prioneer trade. Robert Cunningham was an
employee of the Hudson Bay Company.
The Cunninghams did not stay as a family unit in colonial Virg inia .
By

1775 , at the start of the Revolution , they were scattered throug h

out the colony , mostly living on the fringe of civilization , the frontier .
Hugh Cunningham , son of Alexander Cunningham and Rebecca Burns .
He
was born in D..tblin , Ireland , in 1708. The date and place of hi s d eath
is unknown, but in all probability was either Hardy county where he lived
or in Shannandoah county where his eldest son , Adam , resided .
Hug h married in 1728 Nancy O'Neil. Their children :
Adam Cunningham (b 17JO) md Rachel Morgan
Ephraim Cunningham (b 1732)
Benjamin Cunningham (b 17J4)
William Cunningham (b 1737)
Edward Cunningham (b 1744 - d 1800) md Sarah Pric e .
Thomas Cunningham (b 1748 - d June 2 , 1826) md Phoebe Tucker .
Walter Cunningham (b 1749) 1/md Hannah
; 2/md Ann Randall.
The daughters 1 Rachel , Mary , Tu.rcus , and Elizabeth, married in Ireland
and there is no record of their coming to America.
Hugh Cunningham of Kentucky and the Battle of Blue Licks
There was a Hugh Cunningham at the Battle of Blue Licks .
Just exactly who this man was is in question. For years he was listed (mistakenly) as killed in the encounter. He was also listed as being the son
of Alexander Cunningham and being born in Ireland in 1708.
He was als 0
74 years of age and no record of his migration to Kentucky.
I do not believe he could have pursued the British and Indians for 44 miles through
the wilderness and fought in one day , at his age .
I have recently received information that the Hugh involved was a
much younger man, being born ca 1744 and dying in 1820 in Lincoln county ,
Kentucky. His will was probated in Dec . that year , leaving each of his
sons Thomas, James , and John a third of his estate. A grandson was also
named. It is thought that his wife's given name was Elizabeth .
There is further records of this Cunningham family in Fayette and
Woodward counties of Kentucky · John , son of Hugh , had a son William N .
Cunningham who came to Indian and settled near Martinsville (Vigo County?)
The conclusion arrived at , is that the identity of the Hugh of Blue
Licks should be established to refute the premise of Norman Festus Kenda ll• s c ontention that the Hugh involved was a predecessor his mainly
Hugh Cunningham born in 1708. I do not believe that he left the locale
of his home in or near Fairfax County of Virginia.
The records of his
s ons, tt"i.at I have found are in Harrison, Hardy and Shanandoah counties .
Perhaps the Hugh of 1708 also did there .
From his (Mr. Blech) letter: The second complication is our inability to
find much on Hugh Cunningham and his four sons ; William , Benjamin, Walter
and Ephraim. On his other three sons, we have quite a great , the 250

The above volume was abstracted from the book, VIRGINIA REPORTS ANNOTATED,
containing volumes by Jefferson, Wythe, Washington I &amp; II, Gilmer.
As
this volume is ma inly concerned with the laws regarding the cases listed,
I abstract only those that gave genealogical information - so many of the
cases listed only surnames and no identification. These vo lumes are foun d
in a law library . Other states may not have the Virginia law books.

Also I am trying to l earn how to use my Christmas present - a personal word
processor. The mist akes that one makes are too numerous to believe - so
please forg ive them, some I have corrected but others - ·•ou wi 11 l e t me know.

VIRGINfA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�LINEAGE and RECORDS
By Glenn M 'IU.rnell
The subject of lineage could actually read LINEAGE-RECORU3 as an hyJ&gt;hen~ted
word, as no lineage could ever be established without records. This year of 1986
is the 900th of the first all emcompassing record we English speaking people have
of the citizens of a state . In 1085 King William I, during his Christmas court
commissioned the Domesday survey. I rather imagine that when most of us think of
this survey we assume it lists the names of all the people of England, a total of
some one and one half million persons, but most of them did not have names as we
know them , that is, first and last names . Only a very limited number of the actual
population was listed by name . To give you an idea of the record as presented to
the King, I will show one area only, Albury, in Surrey England in the year 1086.
The entry in the OOMESDAY SURVEY rel ating to Albury and translated from the I.a.tin,
is told by R. Charles Walmsley, FRIGS in a little booklet publ ished in 1974. The
"Domesday Book " is said to be so named because it judged all men without bias like the Last Judgement - named landowners only and showed the value of their
holdings and the extent . I hope the following account of the Survey made under
Wil liam the Conqueror will be of as much interest to others as it was to me.
DOMESDAY SURVEY - Relating to Alburyr In Blacheatfield
(Blackheat h) Hundred. Roger holds of Richard Eldeberie.
Azor held it of King Edward . It was then assessed for 4
hides; now for 2t hides. The land is for 6 ploughs . In
demesne there is 1, and (there are) 11 villeins and 5 bordars
with 6 ploughs . '!here is a church ; and 4 serfs ; and a mill
worth 5 shillings. Wood worth 30 hogs (a year). Of these
hides, a knight holds 1 hide; and (he has) there in demesne
lt ploughs, and 1 villein and 1 serf ; and there is an acre
of meadow . The whole, in the time of King Edward, was worth
10 pounds , and afterwards 100 shillings; now 9 pounds.
The following Notes help expla in some of the terms and names of the above,
1. Blackheath Hundred. A county was divided into Hundred, each of
several parishes, for what we should police purposes.
2. Roger d'Abernon, whose descendants held Albury for five centuries.
3. Richard de Tonebridge, ancestor of the great house of de Clare,
Earls of Hertford and of Gloucester.
4 . Eldeberie - i . e. 'the old Bury', Doubtless derived from the Roman
enclosed settlement on Farley Heath.
5. Azor. An Englishman who held large estates of King Edward, and
did not lose them all at the Conquest. He had made his peace with
the Conqueror, but died before 1086.
6. Assessed for 4 hides . A hide was 120 acres , but it does not follow that there were really 480 acres here. It is what we call a rateable value, so reckoned for purposes of taxation.
7. Now - i.e. in 1086 the rateable value is lowered.
8. 6 ploughs . 'Ihis almost certainly refers to an ancient valuation
of King Edward's days, not to any definite measure of land.
9, demesne . The part of the estate farmed by the lord's bailiff,
' Home Farm', we should call it.
10. there is 1 - one plough, meaning one team of eight oxen .
11. villiens . Small farmers who had land of their own, worked by them
in co-operation, of which they could not be deprived, but who owed
certain work on the lord's land and certain payments, and were not
free to leave. There were 11 villein holdings here, with one man
responsible for each, but most probably with several sons , orothers
or relatives on each holding. The population can not be estimated
from this.

bordars. Tenants in a lower class than villeins , perhaps with
only a cottage and garden and no farming land. 'Ihe same remark
applies to this number as to that of the villeins.
lJ. church. The Church of Albury Park bears traces of the church
mentioned here.
14. serfs. Absolute slaves who could be bought and sold. Probably
heads of families. They had no holdings of land, as even bordars had
on a small scale.
15. mill. A water mill. Dues paid for grinding at it worth 5s a year.
The Villeins would grind their corn here.
16. Wood worth JO hogs. Wood from which thirty hogs could be provided
a year, but it would feed very many more. Thirty killed.
17. a knight. In all probability this unnamed knight was ancestor of
the family afterwards called de Weston. Weston Street is the correct name of the main street of Albury village. De Westons held
it as a separate manor under the de Glares (see Note J) ,
18. li ploughs. This sound mysterious, but a plough means eight oxen .
He had twelve oxen - enough to draw one plough with four over.
Surrey farmers would plough with less than eight oxen . He also
had two tenants - his managing farmer and one slave under him.
19. worth 10 pounds - i . e. in the time of King Etlward, before 1066.
20. afterwards. After the Conquest of 1066 and the ravage of the
country by the march of William ' s army, which came through or
near Albury, The value of the land dropped by one-half that year
(1066/67).
21. now. In 1086, it has nearly recovered, but the lowered assessment
for taxation is allowed to stand.
From the time of the survey in 1086 until Runnymede on June 1 5 , 1215 when the
great charter - MAGNA CHARTA - was granted by King John of England, the people
started to add second or Surnames to the first names and many occurrences of their
lives were being recorded, such as marri ages, births and deaths. Most of these
records were kept by the churches of England (as well as those of other countries)
and even today, if one knows where to look - county or area - many of them are
available . When the ownership of property became more prevalent, the records
were kept by the civil authorities .
By the time of the first settlement in 1607 in this country some of the people ,
not all of course, were able to read, held property which could be sold or traded
and the transactions had to be recorded. From these records we are often able to
carry down generation after generation of a family to form a pedigree . Without
records it would be almost impossible to do this . I know there are some c ultures
where the genealogies are given orally by a very limited number of people , such
as was done by the Hawaiians, but even they have now had this information put
into book form. When a people have writing they have records, when they do not ,
there is no way to establish a true genealogy.
From the time of the first settlement in this country until just before the
Revolution, records were fairly well kept, both in the churches and by the civil
governments, primarily because of property, and names of the titheabl es which
were the principal source for taxes. Marriages, births and deaths were often
kept by local ministers of some of the churches as their private property , but
many Parish Churches still have existing records which are valuable for research .
One of the most informative and complete sources for church records is William
Wade Hinshaw's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN QUAKER GENEALOGY. The Quakers kept meticulous records and even though there may be no indication that an ancestor was a
Quaker, these records are worth looking into, especially up until the early 1800s
when the people started migrating over the mountains and from older states of the
coast into the Northwest Territory and other new areas of the country. The hardest period of research seems to be fro m the end of the Revolution until the first

Lineage and Records
complet e c ensus of 1850; Wltil then land records and sometimes wil1s were kept
but not much else because of distances envolved to seats of goveniment and the
lack of laws. It was not until after the early 1900s that most of our states
required that vital statistics be recorded, which certainly made for easier
research . One of the most important and often overlooked places for records are
the family Bibles or Record Books. The prize possession of many of our early
families was the Bible. In these were recorded the marriages, birth and deaths ,
often for a number of generations, and these Bibles were passed down from member
to member of a family . I f a family Bible is available for research, feel most
fortunated: I f the contents of any known Bible have not already been J&gt;Ublished
in some form, see that it is done, so the information will not be lost forever
from this prime source of LINEAGE-RECORDS.
Searching records can be frustrating, but remember, you have established a
bit of history when you have found an answer to a problem and that can be most
enjoyable:

Records of the Freedrcens Bureau
1866 Marriage &amp; 1867 Census
Montgonery County, Virginia
Compiled and Edited by R. Boulton Dickenson
August 1990
Prior to 'Ille Surrender at Appomattox , on April 9, 1865, the Bureau of
Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned lands, usually called the Freedmen 's :sureau,
\taS established by an act of Congress approved March 3, 1865.
Within the the
State of Virginia, following The war of the Rebellion, the bureau was divided
into 8 districts, r.bntgornery County being one of 18 counties included in the
8th district. Brevet Captain Charles s. Schaeffer , a native of Germ::ll1town
(Philadelphia) Penn., was assigned to the 8th District headquarters in
Christiansburg, under Special Order No. 9 of May 23, 1866.
It was under his direction that the follOVJing 1866 marriage records , and
the 1867 Census, of Freedmen were taken. Where appro~ate, the inconplete 1865
census taken by Schaeffer 's predecessors, are included. All told, they are
among the few such records to survive the disestablishrrent of the Freedmen ' s
Bureau by Congress in 1868, and the subsequent withdrawal of the bureau fran
the States in 1869 .

THE MITCHELL - ENOS CONNECTION
The Mitchell family of Carroll County descend from Stephen Mitchell who married
Keturah Wede in Bedford County , and from William Mitchell who married Elizabeth
Mitchell a d aughter of Stephen and Keturah. They moved to Grayson County about
1808 from Bedford County. Step hen was a s on of Robert Mitchell whose will was
proved in Bedford County in 1799. About 25 years ago some one of the family hed
e paper which stated, "About the middle of the eighteenth century Robert Mitchell
and his wiFe who se maiden name wes Mery Enos of Welch extr-action emigrated ~rom
the North of Irela nd to Ameri c a. They settled et Paquee, Penn. for a brief
period and then moved to Bedford County, Va. During their sojourn et Pequea
their first son whom t he y named .James was bor-n. Robert Mitchell and hie wife
were blessed with five sons: Jamee, Daniel, Samuel, Robert and Stephen."
In the Library of the Historical Society of Delaware in e smell book titled
"The EnoE Family of Delaware 1463 to 1958" by .Joseph G. Enos is quoted the will
of Richard Enos of New Cestle, Delewar-e, 30 April 1748, proved 3 Dec. 1748 in
which his h eirs include e daughter Mery and one of the executors was "Robert
Mitchell my son-in-law. " Richard Enos wee the first of the line in Delaware
but Joseph Enos traces the li ne back through New .Jersey, Connecticut, and England to the town of Mone, Belgium and Collard Henna who was listed a mong those
present at t h e reception of Burghers in Valenciennes 7 Feb. 1463.

DECENNIAL DIGEST
I want to give you ano ther source. It is my very favorite for every new line I
research . It is called the 1st Decennial Digest.
You may need to write down
these dates -- it only covers 1658 to 1911. Volumes 21- 25 of the 1st Decennial
Digest (1897-1906 ) comprise the Table of Cases , or the index, to Volumes 1- 50 of
the Decennial Digest (1658-1896), and Volumes 1- 20 of the 1st Decennial Digest
(1897-1906) . It has over 500 , 000 cases in it. The Decennial Digest is in five
(5) volumes , and 20 percent of your American surnames -- as an average -- are in
the Decennial Digest .

�PASTORAL RECORDS of the Rev. ANDREW JACKSON BOWERS, D.D.
an Annotated Index by
Rosemary Bowers Dodd and Kurt Andrew Dodd

SS

The Rev. Andrew Jackson Bowers was born 10-1-1860, Newberry, s . c.,
eighth of the eleven children of Jacob Stephen and Sarah Elizabeth Chapman
Bowers .
He graduated with First Honor from Newberry College and later
received an M. A. from that institution. He graduated from the Lutheran
Southern Theol o gical Seminary, then located in Salem, Va . , in 1883 .
Later
that year he married Mary Lou Lzown of Salem .
Dr . Bowers' first pastorate was in Columbia, s.c ., and his second in
Floyd Co., Va.
In 1888 he became Head of the Preparatory Department of
Newberry College and for the next twenty-five years he was Professor of
Ancient Languages at Newberry College. During those years he served
various churches and denominations as supply pastor, and was awarded the
degree of Doctor of Divinity by Erskine College (ARP). He died in Newberry
14 June 1930.
The following data are transcribed from his "Pocket Records".
Although effort has been made to read the handwriting and faded ink, it
will be appropriate for the researcher to consult the original records, now
located at the Lineberger Library of the Lutheran Theological Southern
Seminary (Columbia, S.C. 29203). Also, for the student of parish
activities in this time frame, there is additional information in the
"Records" regarding number of communion services and communicants, salary ,
expenses, subjects of sermons and addresses, and contributions to missions.
This data are found in eight books (Pocket Records) . · Although all of
the Virginia material is in one book, the South Carolina material is spread
throughout all eight volumes , and the Georgia entries are located in six of
the books.
VIRGINIA RECORDS

THE SHOOTING CREEK NOWLINS
Researching A Family History
Compiled By Mary Elizabeth Ferrell
Introduction

The research or the Nowlin ramily history, my mother's lineage , has
taken Place to date primarily in the Counties or Franklin, Patrick,
Floyd and Henry, Virginia. It has been an endeavor somewhat easier
than research of the Ferrell branch because of the intactness of
r e cords in those counties. One dirficulty encountered has been in the
spelling of the name. I have found it spelled Nowland, Nowling, Nolin,
No len, Nolan. Nowlan , and Nowlin. Differences in the spelling have
occurred within the same family group and even within a single
docume nt.
John Nowlin 1766-1855

John Nowlin purchased land about 1799 in the section of Franklin
County where i t is hilly and stony, except for the land along the
creeks . From what I can figure out from land and deed records John h a d
land only on Shooting Creek , a creek that winds its way thr o ugh the
Blueridge Mountains, Just on the edge or Franklin County and Floyd
County. Ir one follows Shooting Creek south it is only a f e w miles
until i t f lows into Smith River end you are in Patrick County.
There are areas of bottom land in the "hollows" of Shooting Cree k.
The re is one such area Just orr of Road 860 which may be the loc ati o n
of the original home piace. I found the burial place of my f irst and
s ec ond gre at grandmothers located in the small family ce me te ry locate d
on the hill there. Apparently this land now belongs to Ferrum Co llege.
Jo hn Nowlin was on the 1787 Tex/Census of Franklin Count y. He i s
re c orde d on the 1850 Census as age 80 but was proba bly born earlier ,
possibly 1766. He would have had to be age 21 to b e on the T a x L ist
&lt;It is poss ibl e this is another John Nowl i n!).
He ma rri ed Ma ry
"Polly" Thomas on 2 3 February 1 799 in Patrick County, Virg i nia. P oll y
was the daughter of Charles and Judith Thomas, Sr. o f Pat r ic k Cou n ty.
John, rrom all indications, made his living as a farmer and sl ave
holder. The re c ords do not indicate h e had any o th e r occup at ion . His
Will &lt;written 16 October 1848, r e corde d 3 March 18 5 5 in Fra n k l i n
County) and an inventory or his es tat e showed he h a d l a nd , cat t le,
horses , she ep, hogs. farm impleme nts a nd at le a st e i g h t sl ave s.
He
a l s o h e ld s ix bonds on various p e opl e , thr ee or the m o n his s ons.
Mary Thomas Nowlin 1784- 1873

It is s ometimes difricult to rind information a bout t he women of t h e
family. Name s may appear on deeds , land transact i o n s and documents. In
this case, Mary (or Polly a s Mary's we re known in t his period or t i me)
was Probably age 15 when she married J ohn Nowli n.
Th us her rather had
to give the cons ent for the ma rriag e . It is th is consent that provides
the ide ntirication or h e r r a the r .

�An anlaysis or Census information and ages or children provides
inrormation that Mary was probably born in 1784. A record or the
settlement of her estate 31 May 1873 indicates that she died in 1873
or possibly a year or two earlier. I have been unable to locate an
exact date.
The Children of John and Mary Tho1D8S Nowlin
The 1810 Census or Franklin County records John Nowlin with one male
26-45 years or age, one female age 16-26, 1 male age 10-16, 3 Females
less than 10 years or age and one male less than 10 yoars or age.
The 1820 Census lists 1 male age 45+, 1 female age 26-45, 1 male age
16-26, 1 female age 16-26, 1 ma le age 10- 16, 1 female age 10-16 and 2
males less than 10 years.
Fro m an analysis or these Census, along with Ce nsus through 1880 o.f'
Franklin, Floyd and Patrick Count ies, marriage records, wills, and
other County records this l i s t or childre n or John and Mary Thomas
Nowlin has been co mpiled. No ramily records, such as Bible records,
exist, to my knowledge.
Pleasant, born 1799 probably in December, sometimes known as
"Rusty", died 5 Dec. 1880, le.f't a Will in Franklin County (did not
name all his chil dren), married 17 Sept. 1827 in Patrick County, Va . ,
Elizabeth Nowlin, daughter of Richard and Mary "Polly" Burnett Nowl in
or Patrick County, Va . The relationship o.f' Richard Nowlin to John
Nowlin is unknown at this time. Pleasant is my 2nd great grandfather.
Lucinda, born about 1800, marr ied Samuel Rakes, 18 Dec. 1815,
in Patrick County, was a widow in 1860, died about 1865.
Unknown,

born about 1802.

Judith, born about 1804,
lived in Patrick County,

lived

Nothing else is kno wn .
married Richard Harbour 9 August 1824,
died sometimes in the 1850s .

Charles P .• born about 1806, married Nancy Adams 2 Dec. 1834,
Patrick County, lived in Patrick County, had died by 1880.
Alice,

born a bout 1808,

was deceased by 1830.

Alexander, born abo ut 1810, he was probably John Alexander named for
his rather, married Mary Ann Turner, 6 Aug. 1832 in Patrick County. He
lived in Patrick County until 1840s, was in Franklin County in 1850,
died 27 March 1863. My grandfather's marriage in 1886 is recorded as
taking place at "Alexander. Nolin's".
Wilson C., born about 1812, married Mary Ann Snead 1 Sep t.
lived in Franklin county, date or death unknown.

1840.

The above is an excerpt .f'rom what is to be a larger compilation o.f' THE
SHOOTING CREEK NOWLINS. Research continues on this 1-amily. Emphasis
will be focused on the search for the parents o.f' John Nowl in.
Inquiries are welcomed.

SOURCES:

PRIMARY OR SECONDARY?

by Helen Free VanderBeek
Genealogy Digest
Vol 16, #J, 1985, p 46-47
How many times, as you ' ve done genealogical research, have you received family group
sheets or pedigree charts with no sources listed ? Or maybe there was a notation
such as one I have seen: "family records ." That is as good as nothing.
When I receive a family group sheet without sources , I know I can use it only
as a guide to further research. I cannot trust one single thing on that sheet .
Every entry on a family group sheet whould have a source listed for it -- with
enough information that I could locate that source at any time. This process of
listing a source for every entry is called documentation.
Documentation generally consists of one primary source for birth , one primary
source for marriage and one primary source for death for each ancestor , great aunt
and great uncle . Each ancestor is identified by his name, and by his birth , marriage and death dates and pl aces. No one else in all history will have exactly the
same identifying information .
The preferred type of documentation is with primary sources when possible .
Sometimes several secondary sources can replace one primary source . It is , therefore, very important to know whether a source is primary or secondary .
A primary source is one that was recorded at or near the time the event occurred by a witness of the event. A secondary source is one that was recorded or remembered sometime after the event, often secondhand. A primary source is always
preferred and believed over a secondary source .
For example, I know of a situation where the parish records show Joe born in
1832. Family members say he was born in 1829 because Joe ' s brother , born in 1830
called him his "big brother" many years later. Well, I call my 6 ' 3" tall, 2JO lb
brother "my bi g brother" too , even though he is 12 years younger than I am . Which
of these 2 sources would you give the most credence to? The family legend or the
parish record? I hope you would believe the parish record, for even though parish
recorders occasionally made mistakes , they usually recorded the information near
the time of the event and got the information from those critically interested in
the event.
Once primary sources have been located for each person on the researcher ' s
charts, these sources should be listed on the forms with enough information that
others can find the same source easily.
An example of such documentation is taken from the family group sheet of Larkin
Dial and his wife Elizabeth. Look at the entry for the sixth child on the family
group sheet. (sheet not copied).
The information on Sarah has been carefully footnoted . Under the heading
"Sources of information " on this sheet are: J . 1860 census ; 4. Marriage certificate in possession of Helen VanderBeek ; 5. Junius Free Wells Collection in possession of Helen VanderBeek
Which of these sources are primary? Which secondary ?
Source #4, the marriage certificate , is a primary source because the marriage
was recorded at the St Clair Co. courthouse very near the day the wedding took
place, and the data came from Sarah and Andrew , the 2 principle involved. The other
2 sources may be more or less primary, so we assume they are secondary .
If , when the census taker came around in 1860 , Sarah gave the information herself, and if she chose to tell the t:ruth about her age, the census age would be
primary but since we can't know who provided the information or lf she was telling
the truth, the census as a source for age must be considered secondary . Though the
census entry is secondary for the year of Sarah 's birth , it is primary for the fact
that in 1860 Sarah lived in Washington Co, Ill, with Andrew and Roland Free.
It must be assumed that the Junius Free Wells Collection is secondary as all
histories and collections are. But we can write to the person who has the collection and find out whether this source is to be believed or not. When we discover
that this information came from letters written by Sarah's son to Junius Free

Newspaper obituaries :
Died , at his residence near Farmersville, California, on the 17th of
August last, WILLIAM MCCUTHCAN , in the 59th year of his age . Mr. McCutchan
was a native of Rockbridge, where he lived until he removed to California
about four years ago . He was an intelligent and efficient Ruling Elder
of the Presbyterian Church. The attractive elements of his natural character, elevated by Divine grace , made him the object of love and confidence
with all . He was known among us for his warm sympathies, his cheerful temper, his sterling integrity, his large charity, and the beautiful consistency of his religious life. He was the friend of the fatherless and the
widow , the type of a fai t hful Christian, citizen and friend. He was one
of a rare class, in whom the elements of character are so harmoniously
and attractively blended , that they quietly become leaders and admitted
examples for all.
All who knew him grieved much when they saw so exemplary a man leave
his Church and county, for his distant home, and now we sorrow most of all
that we shall see his face no more. Happy the man of three-score years who
can leave behind him the memory of so pure a life, and there enter into a
rest like his. It can be done, however, i£ we follow his example of faith
and obedience . (wr1tten 1871)

Sister Kunkle was a faithful and devoted member of the M.E. Church

thought, "She was the Lord's and he took her,"

LETTER FROM JAMES L . GRUBB TO MARY ANN GRUBB , HIS WIFE
Camp Winder
Caroline County, VA

1863
Dear Wife,
I take my pen in hand to let vou know that I am well and I
hope when these few lines come to hand that you may be well .
I
have gotten three letters from you only, and I have sent you
about fifteen .
I sent you two yesterday , I sent you a lock of
my hair and you never wrote to me whether you got it or not.
You
said something about having me detailed.
If anybody will have me
detailed they can get my labor for nothing.
I would be very glad
if I was.
I wrote to you to have your likeness taken and send it
to me.
I think you might sent it to me for I would like to have it .
John Wolford has Mary's likeness.
Daniel Bateman is at home.
You
might get him to bring it to me.
I haven't volunteered and I am
not going to, I am not fooled they can keep us only six months. I
want you to write me how your hogs and sheep are doing.
Write
me something about everything up there .
Write to me what you are
doing and what are going to do.
We had a family pie last night
out of those peaches and buckle berries you sent to me.
When one
gets anything, we all get part of it.
I must bring my letter to
a close, nothing more at present but remain y our beloved husband
until death.
Has James L . Kegley and D. C . Kegley come home yet - -thei r
time is almost out.
I would like to see you all mighty well.
Tel l
Virgi nia and Sera Jane to be good little g irls until I come home.
My little white headed Sera--tell her I'm going to wool her when
I come home.
Write as soon as you get this letter, and write how
many letters you have gotte n from me.

NOTE:
This letter was from James L. Grubb to Mary Ann Grubb, his
wife and to his two daughters~ Virginia Caroline Grubb and Sarah
Jane Grubb.
It was probably one of the last Jetters he wrote to
them, since he was wounded at Chancellorsville, Virginia , and
died on May 3, 1863.
He was a member of the Wythe Greys , Com p any
A. 4th Virginia Infantry Stonewall Brigade.
He was the Great
Great Grandfather of Judy Blackwell who contributed the article .

BOUNTY FOR WOLVES
November 25, 1772:

Bounty paid for wolves :
250 pounds tobacco for old wolf
125 pounds tobacco for young wolf
( 250 pounds of tobacco was the equivalent in money to 8 sh . 4 pence)
Since wolves were killers of lambs, calves, sheep and cattle, and a hazard to the
frontier farmer, the State offered the bounty for ea.ch wolf-head brought to the
Court. If a slave killed a wolf', his owner collected the bounty. From ''Botetourt

�LETTER FROM E. A. DUNBAR
contributed by
Mrs E J Sutherland

Abingdon Va Aug the 1st 1923
Hon R. E. Chase
Clintwood Va

Dear Nephew
Augustus P . Hendersen was the oldest
child of the Rev Nemiah Henderson by his first wife
(who was Nancy Harman daughter of Elias Harman) Old
Uncle Nick was one of the early settlers of that country.
Guss as he was called did not go out there when his
father first settled in that country
But stayed in
Giles and Tazewell untill he completed his education &amp;
was lisened to practice law. He came passed our house
when he was going out to his fathers , in the winter of
1856 . While we ware living on Guest river. He was a fine
speciman of a young man and afterwards made quite a record
as a lawyer .
I would have no way of judging the success
that he had made as a lawyer, but for one incedent that
occured about two years after the county was organized .
He was a great l over of a fine horse and my father had
bought a verry fine mare of Ky blood, that was one of
· the finest steppers I ever saw he came to our house to
trade for her he had a good horse but he took a fancy
to the brown mare and gave Pa forty dollars in cash paper
to boot and from the amount of notes that he seemed
to have it was good proof that he was making good as
a lawyer, in as short a time as he had been there. He
married Adaline Kelly a sister of Judge John A. Kelly
and they went to house keeping in Gladeville.
I don't
know what year they ware married and settled there
but they mooved from there to Jeffersonville 1861 he
went in to the war. I think he was wounded, but got back
&amp; settled there and had a good law practice tell he died
some years latero He had layed a land warrent on some
land down close to the breaks of the mountain . When I
was collecting the tax I remember that the ticket was for
several hundred acres of land.
I don't think they ever got
much out of it. Milt French married his sister Rhodie
and they ware booth in the race for Commonwealth attorney
in 1860.
I don't remember anything about the race, but
if that was the time he was elected he did not s~rve
but about one year until he went into the war. Senator
Newt Harman can perhaps give you a better history of
Guss than any one else as he is one that will have a
place in the Harman history.

Yours truly
E. A . Dunbar

�P.S. Rolie I see that there is some fiew mistakes in the
papers you sent me some time ago. The first mistake is
that Gran mothers sixth child. There was only five
children, that is Dunbar children. There was in her
home at least part of the time a child named Ida but
it was Gran Pa's half sister after his father's death his
mother married a man by the name of Dawson they had one
child named Ida, also Granmother by her union with Lowes
Nell had two children a boy and a girl the boy died in
infancy.
I have been so busey that I have not corrected
that and is perhaps is now to late.

TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR GENEALOGISTS

I am a genealogist dedicated to true Imowledge about the families I am researching.
2. Thou shalt use family traditions with caution and only as clues .
J. Thous shalt not accept as gospel every written or printed word.
4. Thou shalt not hang nobility or royalty on 'your family tree without verfying
it with experts.
5. Thou shalt clearly label the questionable and the fairy tale .
6. Thou shalt handle all records in such a way that they next users will find
them in the conditiop you did. (I am grateful to Joe Brickey of the staff of
the National Archives Summer Institute for rephrasing this commandment to
read: "Thou shalt not use bacon as a bookmark").
?. Thou shalt credit those who help you and ask permission of those whose work
you use.
8. Thou shalt not query any source of information without supplying postage.
9, Thou shalt respect the sensitivities of the living in whatever you record but
tell the truth about the dead.
10. Thou shalt not become a genealogical teacher or authority without appropriate
training and certification.

BENAJAH

NORDYKE
of
NJ; NC; SC; GA; VA; KY
by
Glenn M. Turnell

When we look at a map and see the amount of traveling some
of our ancestors did, under the most adverse conditions
imaginable, with neither good roads no~ accommodations such
as we have, the distances covered seem almost unbelievable!
Often these people moved with families from place to place
because of deep religious convictions and to be able to
worship with others of like beliefs. Such was a Nordyke
family, with the life of one member, Benajah, spanning
almost a century.
After I received a copy of a letter from th~ National Archives,
along with the application papers for a pension for service in
the Revolutionary War, I did a little further research on this
Nordyke family and the picture which erneraed was , to me, very
interesting.
I hope it will be so for others and also that
there may be a name or two of value in these comments.

John B. Floyd (1805- 1863), one time Governor of Virginia, was
Secretary of War for President Buchanan (18~7-1890) when the
f ollowing letter was written: Where there are words I could
not decipher I have used
and where I am not sure
of the spell ing of a word I have used a question mark.
Crab Orchard, Ky
November 7th 18j7
Hon. J . B. Floyd
Dear Sir
Believing you are disposed to assist by
advice and influence those who served their country
in acheiving our independence - I take the liberty
of addressing you a few lines in behalf of an old
Re vol utioner .
I dislike to trouble you, know ing that your duties
are arduous, and your time important , yet being a
native of the same county from which you hail
(Washington Va) and the applicant having lived
there the greater portion of hi~ life , we can think
of no one as capable of advising in the case as
yourself, or who feel s a livelier interest in our
Revolutionary fathers.
Mr. Benajah Nordyke,

(of whom I write) was often

�advised by his friends to make application for a
pension, but neglected doing so. He served his
country for his country's good, an~ felt and said
that so long as he was able to work, or earn a
living he would wish nothing of his c ountry .
But
now that he is reduced to want (having had his
earnings of many years destroyed by a fire) is
frail and almost blind, and feels greatly dependant
upon his friends he is constrained to try if any
thing can be obtained. But there is an obstacle
(and it is of that that he appeals to you) .
He
knows of no living witness by whom he can prove
his service. He entered the service in Georgia,
and it is said that the roll of the companies
were destroyed when the state Capital was burned.
He was born the 1st May 1766, entered the service
at 15 years of age in Wilkes County, Georgia in
1781, and served in the
upwarde
of 18 months in all, during the years 1781 - 2 &amp; 3.
He was under Capt Zachary Phillips (afterwards Col.
Phillips) of col. Joel Phillips regiment, also under
Col . Wm. oowns, Capt. Josiah Dunn and Capt.
of this same regiment, and was in Col. Fews
regiment at the battle of Kittle Creek (Ga?) and
was at the seige of Augusta. Mr. Nordyke lived in
Washington County Va., for many years, removed to
Ky in 1837 - is the father of Abram Nordyke Esq.
of Russell. He is personally known to many of the
citizens of said county an~ few
stand higher
in point of honor or veracity.
He would refer you to Rev. Jas. King (?) Bristol,
Tenn .
Col. John Preston, Gov . David Campbell,
Francis (?) Preston, Jas. W. Stevens
Also to the Hon . A. S. Talbot, M.C. elect from this
the 4th Dis. in Ky.
Very respectfully yours,
Jas. W. Grant
(Grandson of B. Nordyke)
Son of H. M. Grant, Fincastle
Va. (?) '
(NOTE: at the bottom of the letter in
another handwriting is the following:)
Respectfully referred to the Hon .
Secretary of the Interior
War Dept .
Nov. 1857

�s
I have found no record ±ndicatin~ that Flo yd answered this
letter or that Bei:iajah Nordylts r0;ee i vod a pens ion for his
service in the war as outlinod in ~ three page deposition
iR7691 dated November 15, 1852 which he made at Rock Castle
Co. , Ky_ al though he l ived in Lincoln CO., Ky but because of
distance the deposition was made at Rock Castle·.

The · earliest reco rds I have of tha Nordyke family show that
they were Quakers.
William Wade Hinsh aw in the ENCYCLOPEDIA
of AMERICAN QUAKER GENEALOGY l ists the early members of the
family in the Burlington Monthly Meeting (Quake r) in New
Jersey.
There is also a record in th~ file in the DAR Library
in Washington and for easy reference I wi.l l use this in the
first of thes e n o tes .
NORDYKE FAMILY
Abraham Nordyke, son of Stephen, from Holland, born
Nov. 16 , 173 6
Mary Roge rs, consort of Abraham, was born Apr . 13 , 1740
Abraham Nordyke and Mary aogers were married , _Burlington,
New Jersey, June 1 , 1761
THEIR CHILDREN
Aden Nordyke born 6/19/ 1762, 7:00 P .M.
Israel Nordyke born 2/17/1764, 3:oo P.M.
Benajah No rdyke born 1 /6/1766 , 9:00 P . M.
Beulah Nordyke born 3/8/1769, 6:00 P .M.
Micajah Nordyke born 3/ 2 6/1771 , 5 :00 P.M.
Da niel No rdyke born 4/ 27/1 77 5 , noon
Phebe Nordyke born 1/9/1 77 9.
.
Hiram Nordyke born 8/23/1782.(Quaker records show 2 / 23/1782)
As a reference only, I have i n my fi les the marriages of the
above children as fol lows but these should be checked for proof ,
other than for Bena j ah.
Aden m Martha Johnson ; Israel m Mary
Elmore; Beulah m Eli jah Foley; Micajah m Charity Ellis; Daniel
m (1) Sarah Albright , m (2) Mary Higgins; Phebe m Jehu Ellis;
Hi ram m Sarah Skeen • ... . . •. Bena j ah m Jane Foley (see later.)
This record also s hows that Aden, Israel &amp; Benajah were born in
New Jersey; Be ul a h &amp; Micajah were born in Sta fford, Va; and
Daniel, Phebe &amp; Hiram were born i n Wi l kes co . , GA.
In checking Hinshaw' s Quaker records we can begin to see the
movement of this family.
I feel the two named children above
could certai nly have been born at Stafford , va. as a new Quaker
Meeting house was established there about that time. We then
start to pick the family up in the Nor th Carolina and South
Carolina Meetin gs when they asked for and received what is
described as get - or granted certificate to - indicating that
they were moving from one area to another. We know from the
letter w r itten by Benajah's grandson and his deposit ~on for a
pension that they were in Georgia by 1781 .

�b
In 1798 some members 0£ this family were back in North Carolina
as they had asked for and received rocf - recei~ed on certifi cate from - N. C., a transfer to Lostcreek. Montjily Meeting in
Tenn. Beginning in 1804 and through 1806 many of them again
moved, this time to the Miami Monthly Meet~ng in Ohio. Abramam
and Mary Nordyke and at least two of the sons lived and died
in Clinton co., Ohio; the parents being buried in the Friends '
burying-ground there, as well as many'other members of the family .
Benajah Nordyke had not only go~e a~ainst the principles of
his family and the Quakers by.being in the Re~olutionary War,
he had also married out of uz:ity and was d1smi~sed or disowned
from the society. The notation from the Westfield Monthly
Meeting at North Carolina shows.- Benajah dis rn~u 4/20/1793.
He probably had married Jane (Jinna) Foley earlier than this date
as the 1850 census of Russell Co . , Va. shows that Abram,·
- ·
the son mentioned in the letter to Secretary Floyd, was 58 years
old and born in Montgomery Co e , va~ We know the dates of birth
or ages shown on the early census records were not always as
accurate as they should have been and I have been unable to find
a marriage record for Benajah but he had a total of seven known
children, and r know that Abr~. Nord~ke and Sally Mongle were
married on 18 September 1817 in Washington Co., Va. by the Rev.
Jeriel Dodge,
(Abram and ~al~y Nord~ke were ~y grgrgrandparentsl
therefore the date of BenaJah s.marriage was in the early 1790s.
Another of the children of BenaJah and Jane, a daughter Matilda
married Hugh M. Grant on l~ May 1829 and it was their son who
'
wrote the letter to Floyd io 1851, on.behalf of . his grandfather.
Jane Foley was born 2 January 1772 at ~ew River, Montgomery co. ,
va. the daughter of Mos~s Fole~ and Elizabeth Green.
Moses Foley
was a Baptist minister in Washington C~. Va . as early as 1794
and about 1815 he moved to Ky. According to the History 0 f
Kentucky Baptists he had a total of six daughters and seven sons,
one of whom was Moses Foley, Jr . who was a minister at the crab
Orchard church in Lincoln County, Ky where he preached for fortyeight years and died on November 9, 1858.
If we refer to James Grant's letter again we can see or certainly
assume to see why Benajah Nordyke made the move to Kentucky in
1837. I have no death date for Jane Foley Nordyke but she was
probably living when the mov~ was made from Virginia to Kentucky
to be with or near her relatives.
Benajah Nordyke who was born i~ 1766 died i~ 1863.
He fought
in the Revolutionary War and lived to see his country in another
two, the onlv wars fought in this country. We have been able
to follow his footsteps over a wide range!
Someday r hope to
find his grave in Crab Orchard and put a marker at the site.
To me, he was truly a remarkable man.

�s
I have found no record ±ndicatin9 that Floyd answered this
letter or that Be~ajah Nonly~a r&lt;M:eived a pension for his
service in the war as outlined in a three page deposition
#R7691 dated Novembe r 15, 1852 which he made at Rock Castle
Co., Ky although he lived in Lincoln co., Ky but because of
distance the deposition was made at Rock Castle·.
The: earliest records I have of thG Nordyke family show that
they were Quakers. William Wade Hinshaw in the ENCYCLOPEDIA

family in the Burlington l'klnthly Meeting (Quaker) in New

There is also a record in th~ file in the OAR Library
in Washington and fo r easy re~erenc~ I will use this in the

Abraham Nordyke, son of Stephen, from Holland, born
Nov. 16, 1736
Mary Rogers, consort of Abraham, was born Apr. 13 , 1740
Abraham Nordyke and Nary ~qers we re married, Burlington ,
New Jersey, June 1, 1761
·
THEIR CHILDREN
Aden Nordyke born 6/19/1762, 7:00 P.M.
Israel Nordyke born 2/17/1764, 3:oo P.M.
Benajah Nordyke bo rn 1/6/1766, 9:00 P.M.
Beulah Nordyke born 3/8/1769, 6:00 P.M.
Micajah Nordyke b orn 3/26/1771 , 5:00 P.M.
Daniel Nordyke born 4/27/1175, noon
Phebe Nordyke born 1/9/1779.
.
Hiram Nordyke born 8/23/1782.(Quaker records show 2/23/1782}
As a reference only, I have in my files the marriages of the
above children as follows but these should be checked for proof,
other than for Bena jah. Aden m Martha Johnson; Israel m Mary
Elmore; Beulah rn Eli jah Foley; Micajah m Charity Ellis; Daniel
m (1) Sarah Albright, m (2) Mary Higgins; Phebe m Jehu Ellis;
Hiram m Sarah Skeen ••.•.. • . Benajah m Jane Foley (see later.)
This reco r d also shows that Aden, Israel &amp; Benajah were born in
New Jersey; Beulah &amp; Micajah were born in Stafford, Va; and
Daniel, Phebe &amp; Hiram were born in Wilkes Co., GA.
In checking Hinshaw's Quaker records we can begin to see the
movement of this family.
I feel the two named children above
coul d certainly have been born at Stafford, Va. as a new Quaker
Meeting house was estab lished there about that time. We then
start to pick the famil y up in the North Carolina and South
Carolina Meetings when they asked for and received what is
described as get - or granted certificate to - indicating that
they were moving from one area to another. We know from the
letter written by Benajah's grandson and his deposit~on for a
pension that they were in Georgia by 1781.

�b
In 1798 some members of this family w~re b~ck ip North Caro lina
as they had asked for and received rocf - received on certifi cate from - N. C., a transfer to Lostcreek , Mon~ly Meeting in
Tenn. Beginning in 1804 and tbrough 1806 many of them again
moved , this time to the Miami Monthly Meeting in Ohio.
Abramam
and Mary Nordyke and at least two of the sons lived and died
in Clinton Co., Ohio; the parents being buried in the Friends '
burying- ground there, as well as rnany'other members of the family.
Benajah Nordyke had not only gone against the principles of
his family and the Quakers by being in the Revolutionary War,
he had also married out of unity and was dismissed or disowned
from the Society. The notation from the Westfield Monthly
Meeting at North Car~lina shows.- Benajah dis ITK?u 4/20/1793.
He probably had married Jane (Jinna) Foley earlier than this dat e
as the 1850 census of Russell Co . , Va. shows that Abram,·
the son mentioned in the letter to Secretary Floyd, was 58 years
old and born in Montgomery Co., Va:~ · We know the dates of birth
or ages shown on the early census records were not always as
accurate as they should have been and I have been unable to find
a marriage record for Benajah but he had a total of seven known
children, and I know that Abr~. Nord~ke and Sally Mangle were
married on 18 September 1817 in Washington Co., Va. by the Rev.
Jeriel Dodge,
(Abram and Sally Nordyke were my grgrgrandparentsl
therefore the date of Benajah's marriage was in the early 1790s .
Another of the children of Benajah and Jane, a daughter Matilda ,
married Hugh M. Grant on l~ May 1829 and it was their son who
wrote the letter to Floyd l.I&gt; 1857., on.behalf of. his grandfather.
Jane Foley was born 2 January 1772 at New River, Montgomery co.,
va. the daughter ~f Mos~s Fole~ and Elizabeth Green.
Moses Foley
was a Baptist minister in Washington Co . Va. as early as 1794
and about 1815 he moved to Ky. According to the History of
Kentucky Baptists he had a total of six daughters and seven sons,
one of whom was Moses Foley, Jr. who was a minister at the Crab
Orchard church in Lincoln County, Ky where he preached for forty eight years and died on November 9, 1858.
If we refer to James Grant's letter again we can see or certainly
assume to see why Benajah Nordyke made the move to Kentucky in
1837. I have no death date for Jane Foley Nordyke but she was
probably living when the mov~ was made from Virginia to Kentucky
to be with or near her relatives.
Benajah Nordyke who was born in 1766 died in 1863.
He fought
in the Revolutionary War and lived to see his country in another
two, the only wars fought in this country. We have been able
to follow his footsteps over a wide range!
Someday I hope to
find his grave in Crab Orchard and put a marker at the site.
To me, he was truly a remarkable man.

My veary dear and loving son,
I once more by the help of providence take the pen in hand to write you
a few lines. We received your letter dated the 14th of November. I do
not mind exactly the time, but it found us in tolerabl e health except
your brother Larkin . He was veary low at that time with the fever. He
lived untill the thirteenth day after he was ta.ken without eating anyth:ing except chicken water and some kind of tea. Nothing else was
allowed him un till the thirteenth day and then one spoonful of veary
thin mush and a half cup of milk.
You must expect my dear William that my dear Larkin was most gone and
so he did seem to be but he was willin to die. As Mrs. _ _ ? told me,
the lady whare he lives. His and your sister Catharine nursed him in
his sickness, but I went severil times while he lay sick, which I think
was about six weeks confinement to the house, but the Lord was pleased
to raise him from the bed of affliction and I saw him last 'Illi.:rsday evening, He was in good heal th of body and soul too apparently. He is a
veary pious youth and if you hear of him preaching the gospel you need
not be at all alarmed. He has commenced going· to school and is free the
27th of next January and seems to take such a delight in the ways and
worship of God. And John is still going on in religious ways. And o my
William do you not think that a grate comfort to me? And would it not
be a greater one still to hear in your next letter that you have embraced religion? You say in your letter you nor your wife had prof est
religion, and you have regul ar meetings with the methodists, Baptists,
and Presbiterians.
Well, my son, so you and your wife attend to preaching and do you wish
to get religion? Then if you do then get down on your knees and pray to
God to have mercy upon you and show you your sinful state that you are
in by nature for ye must be born again or ye cannot see the kingdom of
God. Oh, my William, read the Bible a great deal and attend to preaching
and if there is any revival out with you write me word in your next
letter and I pray you my dear son and daughter in law, be you both at
the alter that the people of God may pray for your dear souls.
When you read this think on whom it is that has ritten these few lines
once more. Tis your dear old mother, and I pray you remember what I
say to you on this paper and let it sink deep in your minds. What doth
it profit a man to gain the hole world and lose his own soul? Oh, my
son, try to save your precious and never dying soul. Lay not up treasures on earth whare moth and rust doth corrupt and whare theves brake
through and stele. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven whare
neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and whare theves do not brake through
nor steal, for whare your treasure is thare will your heart be also .
Let us all try to meet in heaven.

know and hope this will find you and a ll yours in good health. I have

be so glad to see you and your little family. John says he thinks you
might come if you would try rite. And now William, try and come and
let us know in your next letter whi ther you intend to try to come . So
farewell, my William , for this t ime . Your brothers nor sister Gatharine
is not preasent to joine with me in love to you and family but you may

Dear Brother.
I take this opportunity to inform you that we are in comon health at
present, what few thare is of us togather. And I hope these few lines
may finde you all injoying good health. Dear Brother we reneived your
letter directed to Leroy sometime since and I was very glad to heare
from you and to find that you were on this side of eternity for I had
not heard from you for so long . I did not know whither you were dead
or alive, But it would have comforted me mutch more if I could of heard
that you were on your way to heaven, as I know not whither we shall ever
meet again in this world, but I hope that we shall in a better one. And
now I wish you to make a start for heaven and try to meet a brother •.••
I feel it my duty to warn you of your doom for without holyness no man
can see the face of God in peace , My friend, do you know whare you are
going? Have you reflected what you are engaged i n? Is it an object
you will be able to think upon tomorrow with pleasure? Wold you pursue
it if you were sure you would die tonight? Have you asked God or can
you ask God to bless it? If you have not done this, if you cannot do
this, then reflect, For all these things God will b~ing y~u into judgment . .... .. Stop and consider before it is too late . 'Iba.re is yet time
but you know not how short it may bee. O flee to .the Savious for the
pardon of your sins -- pray that devine grace may be given you. Entreat
the Holy Spirit to convince you of the evil of sin and its dredful consequences and to influence your heart and mind to those things which
alone can bring you peace at the last, Read the Bible. All these things
are taught therein.
Besides, the heavenly world with all its glory and felicity would be a
place of torment to an unholy mind. Shold the sinner with his unholy
heart and character be admited into the regions of the blessed what
would he find suited to his desires and reigning temper of heart? He
would find the character of everything totally opposed to his own. He
would find every employment of heaven holy and spiritual and opposed to
his own inclinations. He would find himself perfectly alone -- no one
to associate with him among all the millions of the heavenly host . As
I exspect ere long to be standing on the walls of Zion to proclame the
glad tidings of Christ to a lost and ruined world and now I proclame to
you and beseach you by heaven to repent and believe the Gospel before
it shall be everlastingly too late , I know not that I shall .ever see
you again in this world, but I hope ere long we shall shack bands on the
banks of eternal deliverance • .•• •. Whatever you find amiss forgive.
Nothing more at present, but I remain your brother untill death

THE MCALEXANDER FAMILY OF PATRICK COUNTY, VIRGINIA
contributed by
Ge·o rge Pesely
Department of History
University of Northern Iowa
Cedar Falls, IA 50614
The McAlexanders of Patrick County, Virginia, are
descended from two brothers, William and John, who were among
the five sons of James McAlexander, thought to be an immigrant
to America from Ireland or Scotland, who lived on the north
fork of Davis Creek in what was first Albemarle County, later
Amherst County, from 1756 until his death in January 1798 .
(His land is now in Nelson County.)
Beginning in 1773 James
McAlexander acquired land in what is now Patrick County, which
he gave to his sons William and John.
James McAlexander ' s
five sons were:
1. James McAlexander , Jr. , born about 1741 , died between 1826
and 1830; married Patience McDaniel; one son, David.
2. William McAlexander, born January 13, 1744, died March 8,
1822; married three times, last to Tamar Boothe; 21 children
by the three marriages, of which 18 survived him.
3 . Samuel McAlexander, born about 1748, died between 1786 and
1798; apparently unmarried.
4 . John McAlexander, born 1751, died after 1834; married Agnes
Burnett; 10 children.

5. Alexander McAlexander, born May 1, 1756, died January 30,
1840; married Martha Burnett ; 11 children:
Jane, William,
John, James, Edmund Tucker, Alexander Waugh, Patsey Burnett,
Amelia Carlisle, Samuel Ramsey , David Robinson, Joseph
Roberts.
WILLIAM McALEXANDER'S OBITUARY NOTICE
The following obituary notice reporting the death of
William McAlexander was published in the Lynchburg Press on
April 5, 1822 (page 3).
(For other obituaries in this newspaper
see Marriages and Deaths from Lynchburg, Virginia, Newspapers
1794-1836, compiled by Lucy Harrison Mi ll er Baber, Louise Ann
Blunt , and Marion Armistead Lewis Collins, 1980 . )
William's
obituary follows another which is introduced with the word DIED:

�The McAlexander Fami ly of Patrick Co. , cont.
------, on Friday, the 8th ult. at his residence in Patrick
county, after a sho rt illness, which he bore with Christian
fortitude, Mr. WILLIAM McALEXANDER, in the 79th year of his age.
Few have descended to the tomb more regretted. On the stage of
life, his conduct has been most exemplary. At an early age he
became a professor of religion and a member of the Presbyterian
church--he was a strict observer of the sabbath, and never known
to use the name of God irreverently. He was firm in his purpose,
inflexible in his integrity , unbounded in his benevolence--he
was the friend of the poor, and the protector of the widow and
the orphan.
The good , disinterested neighbor, his heart was
open to every noble fee ling. Mr. McAlexander was one amongst
the first settlers of that part of Virginia , and as a true
republican soldier placed himself under the standard of his
country, and with active zeal bore a faithful part in obtaining
our independence. In him we have lost one of the fathers of our
freedom.
He has has three wives and 21 children--and now a
widow and 18 children, besides a numerous train of connections
and friends, are left to mourn their irreparable loss.
WILLIAM McALEXANDER'S GRAVE
William McAlexander ' s grave is in a small family plot
on a ridge overlooking the site of his house on Rockcastle Creek
a few yards from the Rachel DeHart h~use Jbuilt in 1903) and
'
perhaps half a mile west of the Rockcastle Creek bridge on
county road 710. William's tombstone reads:
WILLIAM.MC
ALEXANDER
WAS BORN JANY
13TH.A.D.1744
DECST .MARCH
8TH1822 AGED
78Y.1M.25.D.
There is another stone of similar size with his which is c o mpletely illegible bu~ pro~ably is of one of his wives.
The onl y
other legible stone in this cemetery (as of 1985) was tha t o f an
infant gra n ddau ghter , An~y Booth (b. June.6? 1816, d. Feb. 4 ,
lB18).
William's widow is reportedly buried on the side of the
ridge on the other side of Rockcastle Creek; the site is e nclosed
by large stones forming a rec t an g l e , but t here is no tombs t one.
As of 19 85, Willi am McAlcxnndc r ' s propor t y b~ l onqed to Car l
Griffith.
William McAlexander was born b efo re the cal endar re f orm of
1752.
His birthdate of January 13 is given in New St y l e , a s his
age at death shows; by Old Style his birthdate was J anua r y 2.

ADAH WALKER FAMILY
Adam Walker Sr.. was born in Ireland. When did he come to this country?
He married Agnes Davis of PA. Where &amp; When? They moved to what is now
Wythe Co.• , VA. and raised their family .• ·
The Adam Walker Jr. family left for MO. in 1849? an~ arrived in Pike Co.
Does anyone know the route they may have taken? They settled
in what was known as the Calwnent Distri.ct which is ,near Clarksville, MO.•
Some of their letters refer to the area where they lived as Walkerville.

MO. in 1832?

In 1845, Wellington Boliver Walker, his ·brother Cla)•borne Campbell Walker,
his cousin Andres Jackson Doak and A. J. ' s wife Rebecca left for Oregon.
They settlec' in the Will iamette Va.lley, .,appro~. 10 n.iles Northwest of Salem
in what was lated named " Spring Valley." Later there was a small community
&amp; post office called " Zena. "
In 1847, Wellington went back to Pike Co., using a pack horse to carry h is
supplies. In 1848, Wellington, Walter Montgomery Walker, his wife Jane
Mackley Walker, their daughter Mary Virginia Walker (then 4 yrs. old) and
Elizabeth, a 13 yr. old black girl left for s-e.• Joseph, MO. where they
joined a wagon train for Oregon. Wellington was elected Captain of the
wagon train. They arrived in Vancouver on 1 November 1848.
John Purvine of Illinois was in the same wagon train.. The Walker and
Purvine children intermarried to the extent t hat is was found feasible to
have a PURVINE- WALKER reunion rather that to have two separate ones with
mostly the samepeople· We have a record of over a thousand decendents of
the two fam ilies who met while members of the wagon train.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------DID YOU KNOW THAT-- In 1739, before the Presbyterian Church was organized in Virginia, the great revivalist, George Whitefield, made a trip by horseback from
Pennsylvania to Georgia. He dined with Governor Gooch in Williamsburg on Dec 15 ,
1739. On Jan 9, he wrote in his journal, '' .•• the greatest Probability of doing
Good in Virginia is among the Scots-Irish, who have lately settled in the Mountainous Parts of that Province. They raise little or no Tobacco, but Things that are
useful for common Life .••.•• And I hear the Governor has given Leave for a minister of their own Way of Thinking to come whenever he can be procured. " It was
Governor Gooch who "opened the door " so the Presbyterians could establish their
church i n the state.

================================================================================

�October 1989

Dear Fellow Genealogists :
With the fall of the year underway, i t reminds us that
1989 is soon coming to a close.

The Society has tried to

provide some interesting and meaningful programs throughout
the year .

If you have any additional suggestions,

please let

your thoughts be known to any board member.
We have recently had several inquiries about the printing
of a membership directory.

In the past the Society has printed

membership directories annually.

However, the cost has become

so prohibitive , we no longer feel that we can provide this
service.

We hope that you will continue to use the last

directory you received .
Our October and November programs should be stimulating-Martha Boxley, Roanoke Valley Preservation Foundation , and
Connie Stone, West Salem Elementary (Salem area folklore,
arts and crafts).

Be sure to attend and bring a friend.

Also , we are anxious to tabulate the surveys se sent out.
Many have already been returned .

We will let you know the

results of this survey in the next VAN .
Sincerely ,

~~~
Deedie

Kagey ,~

will let us. Also some cases were a half page , others 40 or more pages.
The cas e could include data on the case , depositions , lawyers pleas,

The above are the surviving bonds in the court house, not the only marriages
preformed in the county. Some papers call ed ' consents ' only gave the age but
were separate from the bond. My word of advi ce is to get a copy of the original
and make up your mind about the names and dates .
1976 the Botetourt County American Bicentennial Commission published 4 books
on Botetourt County, one of these is "Botetourt County History Before 1900 Through County Newspapers " from which the following notices of marriages for 1820
is taken.

In

them in his golden chain."

Isa ac Runion ' s Petition
Dec. 8th, 1819,
Reported Dec. 17th; Bill drawn Dec. 20th
To the Honorable the General Assembly of Virginia
The Petition of Isaac Runion of the county of Tazewell
humbly represents that he served as a soldier in the Militia, on
several occasions during the Revolutionary war for which he has
received but one dollar.
By a recital of the occasions and
periods of his service your honorable bod y will at once perc eive
upon what grounds he now asks the aid of that country whose
Independence his services contributed to establish.
The military
services before alluded to commenced in the state of New Jersey
where he served two months in Capt. Bruces Regiment of Militia.
Your Petitioner then served one month on the Frontiers of
Virginia under Captain Edwards of the Virginia Militia.
He next
served a tour to North Carolina in Col. William Campbells
Regiment of Virginia Militia , and lastly he served a second tour
to North Carolina under Capt. Edwards in Col. Walter Crocketts
Regiment of Virginia Militia.
The precise period of service
rendered in Carolina your Petitioner cannot now recollect having
been so unfortunate as to have all his papers and documents to
substantiate the facts herein stated, consumed by fire.
Your
Petitioner has heretofore declined any application to the Justice
of his country for a remuneration of his services, bu t in as much
as his age now exceeds four score years, the bodily infirmities
attendant on that advanced age, added to the entire loss of his
eye sight, have reduced him to abject poverty.
Your Petitioner
therefore throws himself upon the Ju stice, the Honour, the
Patriotism, the liberality and the sympathy of his Country, and
humbly petitions to be placed on the Pensi on List, or relieved in
such other way as may seem just and proper, and your petitioner
as in duty bound will ever pray.
Isaac Runion
Tazewell County, to wit :
This day personally appeared before me a Justice of the
peace for the county of Tazewell, Isaac Runion, who made oath
that the stateme nt made in the foregoing Petition , are facts .
October 28, 1819.
William Taylor
This day appeared before me William Taylor, a Justice of the
Peace for the said count y of Tazewell, Addron Runion, who made
oath that he knew that the said Isaac Runion marched on the tours
of militia duly mentioned in the foregoing Petition.
Oct . 28th, 1819.
In the year 1780 I first knew Mr. Isaac Runion who then
resided in that part of Montgomery County now Wythe o~ ?r. ne~r
Pine Run; and reco llect to have seen him with the M1l1t1a in
service in North Carolina in Cap. Frederick Edward's Company , a
short time before the Battle of Guilford, but how long he served
V1rgln1a Appalachian Notae

�therein, or what other tours of mili tia dut y he perf ormed, I
cannot say.
There were two men of that name at that time I think
in service, the father and the son , but my rnmeory does not serve
me sufficiently to say distinctly that this was the case .
I was
then very young, tho well acquainted with Capo Edwards and most
of his company, who performed that tour of duty in North Carolina
in Feb . &amp; March, 1781 - I think about 14 or 15 years ago Isaac
Runion removed from Wythe to Tazewell County; I have not seen him
since .
John Preston
Dec. 29, 1819
certify I am well acquainted with Isaac Runnion who
petitions for a Pension, that he is eighty-one years old as I
have understood, that he has been blind nine years and is in
great indigence and poverty .
I also know he has a son to support
who is a cripple and I understand has been always so, that he
appears to be about fifty years old .
That he has a very aged
wife unable to offer any assistance .
I further certify I have
heard that the said Runnion performed mi 1 i ta ry service in the
Revolutionary War.

NANCY THOMAS ' PENSION APPLICATION

Additional Evidence In the claim of Nancy T hom as , widow of
Kemp Thomas a soldier of the war of 1812 &amp; 15.
State of Virginia
County of Grayson
On this 29th day of May, 1879, persona ll y appeared before me
Andrew Cacicc, a Justice of the Peace, in and for the Cc~nty
and
State aforesiad, John S. Robertson, a resident of the County of
Grayson, State of Virginia, who being duly sworn accorc~ing to law,
decl2res that he was born the County of Albermarle, Stat e of Va.,
on the 16th day of June, 1784.
That he knew Kemp Thomas, the
husband of Nancy Thomas, who is now making application for a widow's
pension (as per application accompanying the affidavit).
They
lived close neighbors when boys, and married sisters.
That he
know s Nancy Thomas, the applicant.
Her maiden name was Na ncy
Beve r
(Baber).
That he was present when Nancy Thomas and Kemp
Thomas were married.
That they were married by Mr. Jacob Watts,
a Baptist Preacher, The same Preacher that married him (John S.
Robertson) to his first wife.
He, John S. Robertson, was married
to Sally Bever, his 1st wife, on the 10th day of November 1805.
Tha t Nancy Bever, a sister of his 1st wife, was married to Kemp
Thomas, afterwards a soldier in the war of 1812&amp;15, somewhere
about the Christmas following.
That he recollects th is from the
fact that her Brother, the oldest child of his parent, William
Bever, did not come to the wedding, and that on the following
Christmas; Viz, Christmas 1805, He, John S. Robinson, (note change
in spelling of last name), was requested by his mother-in-law Polly
Bever, to go and see what was wrong with her son William, that he
did not come to Nancy &amp; Kemp Thomas wedding. (HE GIVES A HISTORY
OF THE BEVER FAMILY WAY BACK TO HIS BOYHOOD DAYS which we do not
think necessary to write down . )
He, John S. Robinson, swears that Nancy Bever was married
to Kemp Thomas sometime between November the 10th, and Christmas
Day 1805. That in about a year they all removed to Wythe County,
Va . That the county seat which we now call Wytheville, was then
c al le d Evansville or Evans Town.
That Kemp Thomas, the Husband
of Nancy Thomas, His, J. S. Robertson sister-in-law, was drafted
in the fall or winter of 1814 &amp; 15 .
That he knows i t was toward
the close of the war, for had it not have been, He, John S. Robertson
was making preparation to go with them and volunteer, but was
prevented by the situation of his wife and that if the war had not
ended as soon as it did he would have been.
He John S. Robertson
had a brother in the Army at the time at Norfolk Va.
He does not
think fro m i nf ormation recieved at the time that the Regiment went
all the way to Norfolk, Va .
But thinks they were turn~d back from
some place ca lled Old Virginia: and believes the men were discharged
at what is now called Wytheville.
He, John S. Robertson, saw the
soldiers when they left for the seat of war and Kemp Thomas was with
them . They were camped about Wytheville for certainly a week, before
they left for the seat of war .
He thinks Norfolk Va . was their
destination . Does not know exactly how long th ey were gone.
He
thinks Kemp Thomas Captain's name was STUFFLE BROWN,
He could
not
say how the name should be spelled, But STUFFLE BROWN is the way
VlrilnJa AppaJachta.n. Not.'98

�J

Nancy Thomas ' Pension Application
Page Two
in which he always pronounced it . He , John S . Robertson, is not
certain that Kemp Thomas was in Capt. Brown's company, But he
thinks that Borwn commanded company in the same Regiment that
Kemp Thomas went with . He knew Capt. Stuffe! Brown : said Brown
lived at that time at a place called Black Lick on Reeds Creek in
Wythe County, Va . To sum up He, John Robertson, knows that Kemp
Thomas and Nancy Thomas, the applicant-for pension in the case,
were man and wife, That they were married by Jacob Watts , a Baptist
Pr eacher at Her-Nancy Bever ' s fathers house , somewhere about
Christ mas 1805 . That there were several children born of this union
to Kemp Thomas before he was drafted as a soldier in the War of
18 12 &amp;15 .
That said Kemp Thomas was a soldier in the War 1812 &amp;
15. T.ti;:i '. said Kemp Thomas somwhere about 1860 or 186 1 drew a land
warrant for services rendered in that war. That Kemp Thomas died
in Wythe County Virgin i a in 1865 . That Nancy Thomas has never remarried since his , Kemp Thomas, death to the best of his knowledge
and
.
(can ' t read copy) That He , John S. Robertson,
lived a near neighbor to Kemp Thomas in Albermarle County Va.,
for years when they were boys and when they were grown . That about
a year after his John S . Robertson marriage, he removed to Wythe
Co . Va.
That Kemp Thomas &amp; wife moved over to Wythe Co ., Va. about
the same time, and that they lived near nei ghbors for a great many
years . That finally he Johns S . Robertson moved to Grayson Co. Va
where he now lives.
That his Post Office address is OLD TOWN,
GRAYSON CO.VA .
And He further declares that He has no interest in a pecuniary
or other sense in th i s case: except so far as a sincere desire to
see the widow of an old soldier, receive what he conscientiously
believes to be her j u st right. He further declares that he does
not know of any livi n g person who was present at the marria ge of
Kemp Thomas and Nancy Bever. There may be such persons living but he
has no kno ~le d ge of their wbeceabouts . He does not know that the
marriage was put upon record . It may have been, but from his own
experience He knows that such thin gs were greatly neglected in the
days spoken of in this affadavit . All of which he declares to be
the truth to the best of his knowledge, recollection &amp; belief .
Witness :
R. J. Cu mming

SIGNED :

John S. Robertson

Sworn to and subscribed before me this 29th day of May 1879;
and I h ereby certify that the contents of the above declaration ,
were fully made known a n d explained to the witness before swearing .
And I further certify that Mr . John S. Robertson who signed the
above declaration i s one of our oldest and most respected citi z ens;
a n d that h is reco ll ect i on of events described is astonishing and
t h a t from the conversa tion I had wi th him, I have not a doubt
but t h at Kemp Thomas , was a soldier in the War of 18l2 &amp; 15 for a
longer period than fourteen days. And that I have no interest
direct or indirect in the prosection of this claim.

CORRECTION
I hope that I am not the only one to write about the gl ari ng error on page 98 of
the August 1989 issue of VAN. Concerning "The Jessies", the contributor says
''John Jessie • ••. lived in Tazewell Co, North Carolina (which is now Tazewell Co,
Va) from 1779-1787. " Tazewell Co, Va was never a part of North Carolina. And ,
as far as I can determine, there was never a Tazewell County in North Carolina •

GERMANY - PLA'IT DEUTSCH or HOCH DEUTSCH : Can someone tell me what "Platt Deutsch"
means? It is northern Germany, meaning "flat", or low, German.
It means, today
farmers or hillbillies. "Hoch Deutsch" are city dwellers .
But, Genealogically ,
you want to know where your people are from.
When they say "Black" or "Platt
Deutsch", usually they mean the "low land" -- the "flat land" -- of northern
Germany. If it ' s a Rheinlander , they are "Hoch Deutsch".

THE SCOTCH-IRISH
contributed by
David H Streets*
By the time of the firs t

national census in 1790, only the English outnumbered the Scotch-Irish as America ' s largest ethnic population. While
the exact number of Scotch-Iri sh Americans cannot be definit ely determined
from those early records , i t has been generally accepted that there were
well over a quarter of a million Americans of Scotch-Iri sh ancestry living i n the United Sta tes when Washington assumed the duties of the
nation ' s first pres ident . While of great importance in mere numbers
a lone, the r ole played by the Scotch-Irish in America during the historic
years of the l8th century was ev en greater than their numbers would
suggest. Unti l the comi ng of the Scotch- Irish in the early 1700's , the
American colonies had continued to remain a narrow band of settlements
nestled closely to the coast. With the arrival of thousands of adventurous Scotch-Ir i s h immigrants eager for land of their own, the American
boundaries were pushed hundreds of miles inland, and the settlement of
the American "frontier" was begun in earnest, Playing a major role in
the defeat of the French and Indians i n the war of that name , the ScotchIrish were consequently greatl y responsible for the acquisition by the
British, and thus eventually by the Americans, of the vast tract of land
comprising the Ohio Val l ey. Perhaps of even greater importance, the
Scotch-Iri sh were among the most ardent and active of the patriots during the American Revolution. Among the very first to take up the banner
of Independence, the Scotch-Irish never wavered in their dedication to
the cause. While millions of present-day Americans can claim descent
from those early Scotch-Irish ancestors, all Americans have benefited
from the rich heritage those early American pioneers handed down to us.
The Scotch-Irish did not appear on the American scene in any real sense
until the second decade of the 18th century, With the arrival of the
first vanguard of the Scotch- Irish immigrants in 1717, the American
character began a process of transformation that would continue for the
remainder of its history. With the sudden influx of thousands of ScotchIrish immigrants to the American shores, the colonies ceased to be
s t rictly English. The famous "melting pot" phenomenon of American
society was begun , and a new a nd unique American character began to
evolve .
During the s ix decades preceedi ng the Revolution, over 200,000 ScotchIris h immigrants settled in America . While there was a continuous
stream of immi gration during these years, there were definite periods of
time when the f low rea ched outs tanding proportions , These years of
greatest influx were 1717-1719, 1724·-1729 , 1740-1741 , 1754-1755, and
1770-1775.
As their name implies , the Scotch-Irish were an unique ethnic entity.
Although possessed of a Scottish her itage, these immigrants did not
come to American directly from their ancestral homeland of Scotland.
The Scotch-Irish who immigrat ed to the American colonies in the 1700's ,
had immigrated the century before to the north of Ireland, Having come
ori ginally from the war-torn poverty-s tricken counties of the lowlands
of Scotland, these immigrants had responded by the thousands to a call

by the English monarchs in the 1 6 00 's to settle on new lands in Ireland .
The English in their continual and often futile attempts to subdue the
native Catholic population of Ireland encouraged and sponsored this colonization by the Scots of Ireland ' s northern counties .
For over a hundred years these colonists from Scotland battled their
Irish neighbors , labored to civilize a frontier and even struggled with
their English sponsors . Staunch in their devotion to the doctrines of
the Presbyterian Church , they made Northern Ireland (Ulster ) a bastion
of Protestantism in a sea of equally fervent Irish Catholicism.
For
roughly one hundred years these Scottish settlers pros pered in their
colony and reshaped the very nature of their new " homeland ." In the
process they too were transformed, and the Scotch-Irish gradua lly
evolved into a new and distinct people .
As the 17th century gave way to the 18th, life for the Scotch-Irish in
Ulster underwent an abrupt about-face . Enjoying the fruits of al most a
century of hard work , their very successes proved to be their undoing .
Having successfully resisted the power of the native Catholic Church ,
the Scotch-Irish suddenly found themselves confronted with the "invincible authority of the Church of England.
With the p assage of the Test
Act in 1703, the Scotch-Irish were suddenly prevented from holding any
positions of civil authority or power without taking the unthinkable
step of denying their own Presbyterian be~ie~s and s witching their
allegiance to the Church of England.
Unwi lling to engage in suc h an
act of betrayal the Scotch-Irish were robbed of all of their political
rights.
Equally disastrous for these "Ulster-Scots " were the simultaneous
attacks on their economy . Within the hundred years of their settlement
in Ulster, they had succeeded in establi~ hing a _woolen and linen indus try successful enough to challenge the industries in England itself .
Faced with thi s formidable challenge from the Scotch-Irish, the English
met the challenge by virtually legisl ating the Scotch-Irish industries
out of existence. A trade embargo was placed on all Ulster exports ,
and the Ulster economy was practically destroyed .
At this same t ime ,
many of the leases on their lands began to become due, and their English
landlords raised their rents to such exorbitant prices that the ScotchIrish were forced to give up the very lands they were responsible for
improving. Attacked religiously, politically and economically they were
also confronted with the vicissitudes of the elements and suddenly suffered from a crippling series of bad harvests and crop failures .
Faced
with such impossible adversities, the Scotch-Irish suddenly became a ware
of the colonies in America and began a mass migration of unprecedented
proportions . Just as their fathers and grand£athers had crossed over
from Scotland to Ireland a century before , thousands upon thousands of
Scotch-Irish crossed the Atlantic in the l?OO ' s in the quest of new land
and a new future.
The initial Scotch-Irish immigrants to the American colonies coming in
Thinking that the Calvinists of New England would make the most suitable neighbors for them , the Scotch-Irish
chose this area for their first settlement .
The choice soon proved to
be an erroneous one, however, and the Scotch-Irish Presbyterians dis covered that the Puritans of New England did not tolerate or accept their
brand of Calvinism. The religious freedom they immigrated to America to
enjoy was not to be found in the colonies of New En gland ,
Likewis e, much

of the good l a nd in these colonies had already been granted before the
Scotch- Irish a rrived and opportunities for economic advancement were
limited. New England did not prove to be the promised land these immigrants sought , and attention turned elsewhere, Except for this initial
foray into the land of the Puritans, almost all of the over 200 , 000
Scotch-Irish immigrants who came to America during the six decades preceeding the Revolutionary War were welcomed to America by the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania .
Pennsylvania of all the American colonies was the most ideally suited
to receive this massive wave of migration . One of the last colonies to
be settled , there were still vast tracts of land available for settlement.
Founded under the benevolent liberal proprietorship of William Penn,
the colony was a haven of religious tolerance .
A great majority of the Scotch-Irish immigrants were too impoverished to
even pay for their passage across the ocean and depended upon the system
of indentured servitude . With a large plantation economy in the southern colonies dependent upon slavery and with a system of free family
lahor prevalent in New England , only the middle colonies were able to
support any great number of i ndentured servants . Likewise, with the
other middle colonies much less tolerant of religious diversity, Pennsylvania was the only real home open to the thousands of Scotch-Irish
immigrants .
These immigrants arrived in America through the ports of Philadelphia
and New Castle , Delaware . Finding the areas along the coast already
settled the Scotch-Irish moved into the Pennsylvania Valley and on to
the frontier . The path they followed was determined by the geography
of the land . The great valley spreading out from Philadelphia lead
west for over a hundred miles before running up against the formidable
Appalachian Mountains . From here the valley curved to the southwest and
became the Great Valley of Virginia or the Shenandoah. The Scotch-Irish
followed the course of the valley, and with each successive wave of
immigration pushed the frontier ever forward . By the 17JO's, thousands
of immigrants had filled the valleys in Pennsylvania and began to spill
over into the backlands of Virginia .
At the same time that the Scotch- Irish were arriving in America, thouands of German immigrants were coming as well. They too :found the
valley of Pennsylvania most suited to their needs, and these two groups
of immigrants found themselves in the rather unusual and often uncomfortable situation of being neighbors. Their movements across Pennsylvania and down into Virginia were often parallel, and their stories are
often intertwined. They were quite different peoples, however, and
there was little actual mixing of the two. Differing in religion,
language , culture and character they preferred to settle in their own
communities and would usually stake out opposite sides of a valley. In
almost every instance, the Scotch-Irish could be found on the very edge
of the frontier and the Germans closer to the more settled areas in the
Fast. The Germans were exceptionally good farmers and once settled on
a tract of land almost never moved on. The Scotch-Irish, on the other
hand, seemed possessed with an uncontrollable restlessness and always
seemed to be pushing the frontier to new limits.
The Germans following the practice endorsed by the proprietors of the
colony favored a policy of peaceful coexistence with the Indians . The
VtrCUU&amp; AppaJc.whlan N otee&gt;

�I 3·0

Scotch-Irish at the very edge of the frontier and always desirous of new
land saw the Indians as only an evil nuisance that had to be eliminated ,
The Scotch- Irish did not recognize any claims the Indians might have on
the land and would not wait for the proprietors to negotiate a treaty to
buy it from them . Openly hostile to the Indians , the Scotch- Iris h were
both the victims and the instigators of much of the subsequent violence
between the Indians and the colonialists .
As each new wave of immigrants washed upon the American shores , the line
of settlement moved further south into the Valley of Virginia. Ha ppy to
have the sturdy Scotch-Irish pioneers serve as a buffer against the
Indians on the frontier , the colonies encouraged the Scotch-Irish to
move into their interiors . By the 1740 ' s , they had reached the Roanoke
and for all practical purposes the end of the valley in Virginia . Having
filled the frontiers of Pennsylvania and Virginia , the Scotch-Irish next
headed south i nto the wide-open lands of the Carolinas.
There were several reasons why the Scotch-Irish turn ed to the Carolinas
during the later stages of their migration to America , Foremost among
these was the simple fact that much of the land in Pennsylvania and
Virginia was already settled and too expensive to buy. Second, was the
fact that beginning in 1756 with the outbreak of the French and Indian
War, the frontier communi ties in the valleys of Pennsylvania and Virgini a
were subjected to terrible violent attacks from the Indians . Many
settlers lost their lives, and many more were forced to abandon their
homes . While many of these settlers simply moved back East , an even
greater number headed south to the Carolinas . The governors of both
Carolinas welcomed the settlement of their colonies' interiors and encouraged the Scotch- Irish to come· In 1763 , South Carolina offered its
immigrants a headright of a hundred acres for each man , wit h fifty acres
for each woman and child. Many Scotch-Irish sailed directly from Ulster
to Charleston and then proceeded to claim their land in the colony's
interior. There they were joined by many more who had made the long
jounley south by way of Pennsylvania , Virginia and North Carolina ,
By the outbreak of the Revolutionary War , the Scotch-Irish were firmly
entrenched upon the American scene and were a ma j or force in the fight
for Independence . With the bitter memories of their oppression at the
hands of the English in Ulster still burning inside them , the ScotchIrish were eager to free themselves from the English once and for all .
With a spirit of individual dignity and independence fostered by the
rigors of life on the frontier , the Scotch-Iris h were among the first
to call for freedon. Having refused to acknowl edge the proprietary
rights of even the colonial proprietors , they were completely unwilling
to bow to the wishes of a "foreign " power across the sea . Through years
of combating the dangers faced on the frontiers, the Scotch- Irish had
evolved into expert marksmen and fierce fighters and proved to be the
finest and most reliable soldiers to fight for the American cause .
Seemingly fearless in their courage and willing to face great hardships ,
they became the very backbone of the American forces . From their
famous Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence in 1775 , to the final
victory in 1783, the Scotch-Irish never wavered in their devotion to
America 's freedom and Independence.
With the successful conclusion of the Revolutionary War , the story of
the Scotch-Irish in America comes to an end, Although the pioneers who
soon began to cross the mountains and push the frontiers further west

�into Tennessee, Ke n tucky and the Ohio Valley were the descendants of
the Scotch-Ir i sh settl e r s of the l?OO's, they were no longer ScotchIrish themselves. Aft er over a half a century of life on this side of
the At l ant ic, the Scotch-Iris h ceased to be classified as anything
other than Amer icans. Alwa ys looking forward, they continued to spread
out across the American continen t and became inextricably identified
with it . Judgi ng ea ch man by his own merits , the Scotch-Irish did not
hesitate to i nt e r -marry wi t h other pioneers on the frontier and soon
lost their ethn ic identity to tha t u.nique_-phenomenon the "American. "
The Scotch-Iris h contributed much to the American character, and i t is
from them that the American learned to romanticize the future rather
than the past .

STEPS IN GENEALOGY
Step 1: That preminary survey merely means: What has been done on your lines
and mine? Wouldn 't that speed up a lot of research if we could know that
completely?
Step 2 : What records exist.
, what book, to seek out .

I would move heaven and earth if I knew what library

Step 3: Is actual , mechanical research. Hopefully, if I see you in Salt Lake
City, or the National Archives , or in DeKalb Co , Tn, you won ' t have any spiral
notebooks, but from the books, the records and the film, you will go right to a
family group sheet. That ' s what I would like to see more of in genealogy. Save
the transcription errors , and other reasons.
Step 4: The analysis. We find that many of us have the solution to our pedigree
problems if we could shake it out of the bushel basket . Don ' t we? Right: Now ,
sometimes , don't you find that there is one "nut" in the county named Willie Wheelbarrow , or two, both married to Martha, with ten kids each? or , what about names
like Smith, Jones , Williams and Johnson? Don't you find in many of your lines
you go to those county records and find a whole tribe of people -- same name?
Same given name, so which one is mine?
I will teach you today how to show yourselves , research- wise, which one is indeed yours. A special technique called a
"general " search.
Step 5: Merely means, now that you have extended your lines back one more generation, do a survey or start again, at step number 1.

July 1989

Dear Friends ,
It is difficult to believe that the summer of '89 is here.
Thus far we have had some interesting programs , including a
review of new books and materials in the Virginia Room, how to
research and publ i sh genealogies (by some of our members),
a book signing party for the author of the new history of
Roanoke County , a combined trip to the Jones Memorial Library
in Lynchburg and Thomas Jefferson ' s rural retreat , Poplar Forest.
We had an outstanding speaker , Ron Bremer, from Salt Lak~
City in June.
Though the attendance was small, his presentation
was so outstanding that we are considering having him return
for an all-day workshop.
If this visit is arranged , howeve r:
we would like to be able to supply 200-300 participants.
It
would be a shame to miss his knowledge, expertise , and inf~r­
mation.
Let us know of your wishes along this line.
We wi ll
keep you informed of details as they develop.
Our July program is entitled , "Lucy Breckenridge of Grove
Hill, " presented by two local educators , Dr. Norma Jean Peters
of Roanoke County and H. W. Scott of Botetourt County.
In
August, we plan a question and answer period between members
of the group.
Sharing of unusual items found in research is
also encouraged.
We are firming up plans for a program i n
the fall on historic preservation by Martha Boxley and another
by some west Salem Elementary teachers on oral history of residents in the ~a l e~ ~rea. We hope these are topics of . interest
and that you will Join us for these sess i ons on the third
Saturday of each month at 1:30 p.m. in the City Library.
We are also in need of someone in the Society to take
over the job of handling back issues and the job of h i storian .
Let us know if you can give a l i tt le time to e i ther one of
these jobs.
Babe Fowler , our VAN editor, is going t o be includi ng
some information in the VAN from Ron Bremer because of its
worth to you, the researcher.
Have a great summer and bring a friend to the meetings l

Sincere l y ,

�Georges CreekA Texas
November 9, 1~92
This is the last
letter I shall ever write and· it is dedicated to
my dear and fait h f ul wife and children.
I was born in Pulaski
County, Old Virginia; was raised till I was twenty years old with
very small religious influence, my parents being both unconverted.
My father died about the time I was twenty and left the responsi bility of a large family to my care.
I was ignorant of God;
surrounded by wicked associates and wicked influences. My father
advised me never to come to a dying bed as he had done, unprepared.
Fifty-five years have passed of my life and still these words are
fresh in my memory .
I resolved at that time that I would seek the
salvation of my soul ,
and if there was such a thing as religion,
I would have it.
I did not seek in vain .
Two years I was a faithful seeker, and while at the mourner's bench at a camp meeting in
Giles County, Virginia, in the year 1842, the Lord in His mercy
opened the eyes of my understanding and I was enabled to lay claim
to His precious promises by faith in Christ; and Oh, the precious
peace that flowed through my soul .
I was happy day and night.
A
few weeks after this I went to another camp meeting where I was
equally conscious that God for Christ's sake sanctified my soul.
I never have doubted i t to this day for one moment.
I have had
many hard trials both within and without but the Lord has most
wonderfully brought me through them all and oft has manifested
Himself to me in such a way as to astonish me . And today while I
write I am in the midst of persecution and trial but I believe th e
Loru will make i t all right .
I pray that the Lord will give me
grace to meet it all.
Trusting in Him, He has often brought the
brightest sun from behind the darkest cloud.
The year after I
was converted I got married.
My wife has been a soul cheering
comfort to me along the rough journey of life we had to travel and
a thousand times has cheered my despondent spirit . God only knows ,
and eternity will only tell the hard trials and conflicts we have
passed through in the 47 years of our married life.
We were poor
when we started in the world for ourselves and we keenly felt the
need of a home chat we could call our own.
We had no recourse but
to go to our Heavenly Father who permitted us to have a comfortable
home in Mercer County, West Virginia, on which we labored and prayed
through many trials and persecutions for many long years, but the
Lord brought us out of them all, glory to His name .
A voice continually sounded in our ears, "Get thee up from thy country and
from thy house and from thy father's kindred and go to a land that
I will show thee."
He has brought us to the beautiful land of Texas,
and never have I doubted i t for one moment but that I was providentially directed by my Lord.
It has been almost my daily prayer that
the Lord would spa r e my life to see my children all old enough to
take care of themselves.
My prayers have been abundantly answered .
VtrQSnSa App&amp;lachta.n N otee

�Two of them have passed us to the better l a nd and are waiting for
us on the other shore .
The others are all grown to man and woma nhood and are settled in good and comfortable homes and with education sufficient to make their way honorably through this world.
My object in writing this letter is to express my g ratitude to my
Heavenly Father for the grea t things that He has done for me, and
to impress upon the minds of our children to follow the footsteps
of the God of their father and mother whom they tried to serve,
thought in an imperfect way.
And I hope the blessed Savior will
direct my pen that when we are sleeping in the arms of our mother
earth free from all the snares of His world that these words may
be sanctified to your good.
Remember my dear children you have an impor tant work
to do and
but a short time to do it in, and nobody can do i t but yourselves .
Read your Bible in preference to all other books.
It is your only
safe way bill to your home beyond the skies.
It is full of precious
promises and they are all yours if you will accept them .
Be kind
to one another.
Let brotherly love reign in your hearts.
Imitate
the Blessed Savior.
Let love through all your actions run.
The
righteous shall lack no good thing .
Above all things train up your
children in the fear of the Lord.
Marry the perfect man for the end
of that man is peace.
Associate with no wicked person.
Keep out of
debt so far as lies in your power.
Be fai thful to all your promises.
Keep within the limit or you income.
Never promise that which you
think it doubtful to perform.
Be not hasty to accumulate money or
get wealth.
God knows what is best for you and will give i t to you
in due time.
Be temperate in all things .
Speak the truth in all
things though it may be against your earlthly interests.
Always be
ready to give an answer for the hope that is within
you .
Respect
old age, for with Godliness it is honorable .
Be kind to the poor
and needy; turn none away f rom your door empty if you can help it.
Encourage Christianity.
Support the Church and the Lord will bless
your labors. Never be afraid while in the path of duty.
Keep all
your own secrets.
Be careful how you form new acquaintances .
Make
but few intimate friends and let these be of good religious character
and such as would support you in a day of trial.
Be not hasty in
your temper . Take time and think well before you speak and never
encounter danger when there is not absolute need.
Respect the
sabbath and never be afraid of showing your reverence for i t and
for God. Live each day as you will wish you had when you come to
die . It is a solemn thing when we grow old to look back on our past
lives and see how many crooked paths we might hav e made straight.
It is a preat pleasure to know in old age what good we have done.
They will never be erased from our memories but will be a support to
us in our dying hour.
Wear this world as you would a loose garment
that can be laid aside any moment, for you do not know what moment
the Lord will call you to Himself .
Pray daily and earnestly for
the guidance of the Holy Spirit of God, for without i t you have no
sure hope of Heaven .
If you have not the Spirit of Christ you are
none of His .
Pray night and morning with your families.
Leave
the example for them to follow you and the Lord will see to i t that
they will do it. They that trust the Lord will never lack any good
thing . And now my dear wife and children, farewell.
I fee l that
I am brushing the dews of the river.
Vll'atnJ&amp; Appalach1an Notes

�SS

The crossing can't be far .
My only hope and trust for immortality
is in the mercy and goodness of God through the merit of His Son.
I am ready and willing at any moment to obey His summons.
Follow
my admonition and meet me in Heaven.

Your husband and father,
WASHINGTON GORDON
"A si n ner saved by Grace "

Gordon and wa s married to Jane Johnston in Giles County Virginia.
He was reared on the Joseph Cloyd
farm in Pulaski County, Virginia.

the married children mov ed with the mother to Giles County , Virginia.

deduction of $68.56 was made due to AWO L for six months,
seven days. He drew $ 34. 84 as final pay .
When he c::ame home after the war, everyone called him
"Captain" o This was more than likely a title of r espect or
maybe the local folks were just furnished some wrong
informationo I can remember "Granny" always used the term
Captain when speaking of her father.
He married Francis Jessie (1827 ) , daughter of
George L. Jessie and Elizabeth Counts.
The only other child
I have knowledge of is a sister to Caroline Jane named Eliza
Vermillion Jenkins . Uncle Bob may have further information
on this matter .
I will furnish it if it becomes availab le.

�fog WHAT'S IN A NAME

from Genealogy Digest
Winter 1985 Vol 16 #1, p 24
Surnames surfaced almost 1, 000 years ago i n Euro p e t o 1 end better descriptions
to people. They were often related to t he person ' s r es i dence , occupation , o r their
parent ' s name (patronymic) or provided some type o f personal des c r i ption ,
The more than one million American surnames r ange i n meaning f rom Arsenault
(in charge of weapon storage) to Zarzecki ( dweller on t h e ot her s i de of the mountain )
Almosthalfofoursurnames (40%) i ndicate pla ce (Hill , Broo ks , Mea dow ) , 30%
a re patronymics (Johnson, Harris, Jones ), 16% occupa tion , ( Baker , Miller, Smith) ,
12% descriptive (Brown, Short, Longfellow) and 2% are othe r s .
Surnames were not just randomly selected ; there had t o be some l o g i cal connection between the individual and the name in or der f o r i t to be remembered a nd used .
As people left Europe and migrated to the n ew country, the s u rnames they
brought with them often reflected the places the y l ef t be hin d,
F o r exa mple : Dumont,
Maki, Zola, Jurek and Kopecky mean hill in France , Fin l an d, I taly, Pola nd a nd
Czechoslovakia.
Names referring to bodies of water would include Lake , P o nd , Pool, Lea ke and
Lynn in England, Kuhl in Germany and Loch in Scotland .
Rivers i s t o Spa i n wha t
Storm is to Sweden, and in England it's Brooks a n d Rivers .
Meadow, Meadows and Medow mean one lived in or nea r a fi e ld wh ere g r ass was
grown for hay, A Crane may have hailed from near the Cra ne river i n Eng l a nd ,
Steins near a stone or rock, and Hayes from either a hedg e or from Ha yes , a common
place name in England,
Sand, Sands and Sane were from Sen d ( a sandy a rea) in Surrey.
The a reas of
Moray (near the sea) and Wick (dairy farm) i n Sc otl a nd produced Murry , Murray ,
Murrie and Wick, Wicke, Wicker.
Another popular way of identification was by t h e p e r s on' s job .
The most comman occupational s urnames in this country a re Smith, Mill er, Taylor, Clark , Walker ,
Wright, Baker, Carter , Stewart and Turner.
Smiths forged the metal the Wrights worked with,
Bakers prepared bread from
the grain the Millers ground. Walkers cleaned the clothing the Taylors made, while
Carters drove the carts . Clarks served as clerks, and Turners operated lathes,
perhaps on the farms or estates the Stewarts were in charge of.
Carpenters built houses from the wood cut by the Carvers and the timber sawed
by Sawyers, Shepherds tended sheep , Kellogs killed hogs, and HaY1-fards were respons ible for keeping the livestock from the fences and hedges .
Fishman s old the fish the Fishers caught ,
Corders and Ropers provided the
cord and rope t he Shermans and Shearers us ed to bind their cloth.
Franklin, a l andholder , could have us ed Myer as a n overseer , Berry as a servant , Spencer as a butler, Ward as a guard and Na pier in charge of linen , and paid
them the money t hat was made by Minter,
Many s urna mes are not totally original names , but patronymics -- suffixes or
pref i xes added t o the paren t's name (usually the f a ther's) o For example , son indicated the male offs pring in English, but it' s poulos in Greek , wicz in Polish ,
ez in Spanish, ian in Armenian and sen in Ianis h a nd Norwegian .
Al though prefixes such as Ap in Wels h, Fitz in Norman , and Mac in Scotch and
Iri sh also indica t e s on, the Irish 0 means grandson.
Klein , Kurt z , Stutz and Wenig are German for the En g lish Small or Short , while
it could me Malek i n Pol i sh and Smail in Scotch,
Long, I.and and Longfellow are tall or larg e in English , but in French i t ' s 1e...
Grand or Grande , an Hoch or Feltz in German.
Bliss , Blyth, Merriman and Merriweather mean a g reeable, pleasant; a Fairchild
or Belcher was a ttractive or handsome; a nd Gentry, Curtis, Fine or Handy indicated
a polite person.
VtrClDia Appalaoh1an Notes

�What ' s In A Name

109

A person's an cestor might have been bald if the last name is Ball, Baldwin,
or Ballard while Rounds , Major and Stuckey mean husky or plump .
Harper played the harp while Piper mastered a pipe . Meeks was a mild or humble person , and Bonney was a good and kind soul. Dory was a person with gold or
blond hair, and Krause meant that a descendant had curly hair . A Winter was born
durin g that season , and a Temple was an infant left there in England.
Although a s urnawe may indicate a residence, occupation, parent' s name or description and be shared with thousands of others , people usually find a way to
make a name uniquely their orm .

Dear Frien:i:

senate Joint Resolution 177, adopted by the 1989 Virginia General
Assembly, recognized the cultural arrl historic signif icanoe of the small
cxmmmity oerreteries arrl family cexteteri es
that
dot
the
Virginia
oamtryside.
'lhe resolution also r~zed that these cemeteries are
in:::reasixqly vulnerable to neglect, encroachin:J develcpnent, or si.nply to an
owner's inability to bear the financial responsibilities of maintai.nirg such
cemeteries . o:&gt;nsequently, the resolution called on the Division of Historic
Larrlmarks "to stlxly the problems of small ccrnmunity, family-type cemeteries,
whidl may have been neglected or abandoned arrl thus lost to future
gene.rations, arrl to determine the need for and ~iateness of state
action in this area ... " We are to suhnit a report on our stlxfy to the 1990
session of the ~l Assembly.
Obviously, we cannot compile a full inventory of the state's small
cemateries in the next seven ironths . However, with your help -we shatld be
able to create a reasonable sample that provides a measure of the resa..n::'Oe's
value, a general assessrrent of its con:lition, and a feeling for the public' s
interest in its preservation. 'Ihe attached questionnaire asks you to give
us sane basic infonnation arout any small cemeteries with W'hich you are
familiar.
While the focus of the study is "small oammunity, family-type
cemeteries,'' we ¥.10Uld appreciate knowirq of any other cemeteries you f tel

may be threatened in sane way.

We have retained Martha H . Little of Olarlottesville to oversee this
stuiy for us. She has previously studied same of the problems associated
with the preservation of historic cemeteries and is looking forward to
hearliq fran yai a1:art: the small cemeteries in your oammunity.
If YQ.1 have
questions about this study, or if you want to talk with Martha , feel free to
call her in O'larlottesville at (804 ) 296-9604.
We canrci:. carry out this study without ya.rr assistance . With your
help, hc"-ievar, we should be able to begin the effort to see that this
valuable reso.n:oe is not lost. '!hank you in advance for taking part in this
inpxtant project.
S~ely,

H. Bryan Mitchell

The following newspaper noti ces are taken from " Botetourt County History Before
1900 - Through County Newspapers " publ i s h ed by Botetourt County (Va) American
Bicentennial Commission , Fincastle , Va , 1 976 .
The paper is "Herald of the Vall ey . "
Mon, Jan 22 , 1821. MARRIED-- On the 11th by Rev Wm Shanks, Mr Creed F Thompson ,
to Miss Eliza F Col man , daughter of Ebenezer Caolman, all of this county.
Mon, Feb l_, 1821. MARRIED -- On the lJth instant , by the Rev John Helms, Mr
Jacob Craft, to Miss Cathri ne Zimmerman , a ll of this county .
-------On the 8th, by the Rev Wm Shanks , John Gordon, to Miss Elenor Sirk.le ,
daughter of John Sirk.le .
- - --- - - On the same (7th), by the same , Gre en Richardson , to Miss Leagh Eddington ,
daughter of Philip Eddington .
- - -----On the 8th by the same, Michael Minnie, to Miss Rebecca Stever , daughter
of G€orge Stever, all of this county.
VAN, V8, #3 , Aug 1984, P 89- 99 : "Marriages and Deaths from the Herald of the
Valley, Botetourt Co, Va" by Charles T Burton . (from 8 Aug 1820 - 4 July 182J)
Editor's note : If you think that you have found the marriage you are looking
for, write to the court house and get the original .
Do not take our word that
the above is correct. Too many times , I have read a document, put the names down ,
then went back, reread it and found that I was wrong. Also , we do not find all
of our typing errors -- we try to find them .
Remember that these bonds are not
proof of marriages, but the intenti on of being married - - some did not marry and
others changed their minds and married someone else.
The clerks als o have made
errors in filling out the bonds . The surety may or may not be a relative --he
could be the clerk, someone in the courthouse who knows the groom , or a neighbor.
Be sure to check the back of each document - we found many notes on the back of
these bonds. Remember , the minister could record the marriage in another county
-- or have forgotten to record it. Some marriages were by banns -- getting up
in church three Sundays in a row to announce their intention to be married -and not all of these are recorded i n the court house . Another reason to check
with the original bond is that the person who recorded the bond or marriage in
the regis ter could have made a mistake -- and many of these registers have been
copied once or several times -- and the recorder may have had trouble reading
the handwriting. The main thing to remember is that we are dealing with people
and they do not always do what we think they should do.

�CAN DLER/ CANDLE/CAUDLE!
By : Glenn M. Turnell
In doing re s earch I be lieve that most of us occasionally
fin d publ i shed re c ord s with mistak es.
I trust the details
in the fo llowin g
~ornmen t s will be of help in clearing up
some e r rors regard i ng members of one family who were in the
Revolut io nary Wa r.
Fo r ma n y ye a rs I h a ve trie d to document where a John Candler
of Be dfo rd/Camp be ll was during the period 1767 to 1782 and in
so d o ing I h ave a ccumulated a great deal of material.
I know
that h e was oft en cal led John Candler, Sr, that he died 1802
in Campbe ll County , Va; he h a d one son John Jr born 1765 in
Bedfo rd County , d ied 1832 in Russell County; that the William
candler who was born 1751 and died 1836 in Campbell County was
in the Re volution and was probably hi s son; and that there
were othe r children.
The name Candler is almost invariably spelled Chandler so
I was delighted to find in the HISTORICAL REGISTER OF VIRGINIANS
IN THE REVOLUTION by John H . Gwathmey the names John Candle,
John Candle, Jr, t·;iilliam Candle; along with William Candler
(Chandler) and the above William Candler who died in 1836 and
who had received a pension shown on 59159 with one of the witnesses to his app lication, William Clements.
I was certain
these Candles must be my CANDLERS!
I sent for and rece ive d the papers from the Virginia State
Library at Richmond on the three Candles and they are all shown
on one set of seve n sheets headed REJECTED CLAIM, dated 14 Dec.
1820, signed by Tho. Miller, Clerk, Land Office and submitted
March 3, 18 21 but rejected.
In going over and over these pages
r feel confident in stating that the three people referred to
are, without a doubt, CAUDLE - John Caudle, Sr; son John Caudle,
Jr; and son Wil l i am Caudle.
The writing is v ery clear and
readable, with the exception of a few words.
Though extremely
disappointed that these papers did not concern my CANDLERS,
perhaps there are enough names shown and a definite family established to be of interest to others.
There are no CAUDLEs
shown i n the three DAR Patriot Indexes through 1982 which would
indicate no one had been approved with a Caudle as an anCEstor
up to that date, even though there were evidentally three men
in the Continental Line durin g the Revolut ion by that name.
The first sheet of the seven is a cover or title page of the
claim.
The second of this file is a statement made by Lewis
Caudle (signed by his mark) giving Power of Attorne y to his
friend, Willie Brasfeild of Wake County, N . C . on the 28th day
of August 1820 in Orange County, N.C. (with two of the witne sses
shown as Anderson Clements and William Lvnn ) to a pply f or and
recover the '' ... Lands etc that are comeing to me for the Se rvice
of my Fathe r John Caudle, Senr, and (Bro the rs ) J o h n Ca udl e , Junr
&amp; William Caudle, who ware Continental Soldiers in the United
states Armey and enlisted in the Virginia Line ... " .

�OLD SHAFER CEMETERY CALLED PURGATORY CEMETEifY

ROCKBRIJX;E COUNTY , VI RGINIA
On Nov 4 ,
Tne
location : There is a gulley or what was an old dirt road across .from the cemetery
(shown on the map) at the lower end of the cemetery on Rt 6 0 8 comir.c: from Rt lJO .
Climbin to the top of the hill and bearing t o the right , we went ovei~throug h­
under 2 barbed wire fences . Then down and up a ravine to the top of the next hill.
There is no path . What is left of the old cemetery is on the hill .
There are a
few stones standing at one end of the cemetery and abo ut JO feet or so away i s the
John Waskey plot enclosed in a wrought iron fence .
The @:entlem.J..n who was our guide
had to leave and told us not to go back the wa y we c ame but to g o d own the hill t o
the creek and follow it to the tree line or fence , where there i s a l &lt;:.i.rge cleared
pasture. We could see a paved road on the other s ide of the pas ture.
Arriving
there we could see a house to our right , walking toward the house , we arrived at
the curve in the road - not too far from where we had p arked our c a r at the cemetery next to the road. This cemetery i s very ha rd to find - - old clothes , clippers,
bug repellent and willingness to walk through the woods are necessary to find this
cemetery.
On the map below "X" marks the approximate location of the cemetery .

1987 , Ruth Hale and I (Babe Waskey Fowler) were guided to tr.is cemetery .

I first learned of this cemetery at Washington &amp; Lee College ,* Lexington , Va . In
the Diehl Collection I found a letter dated 22 Nov 1966 that Mr W B Zollman wrote
to Dr George w Diehl in which he called this cemetery the old Shafer Cemetery or
"Purgatory ." And his directions were not as good as the above.
Pictures of this cemetery have been pla ced in the Virginia Room , Roanoke Central
Library , Roanoke , Virginia .
(W&amp;L i s now an University)

The third page has three ins truments of Orange Co., N . c.
attesting to various items re g arding this Power of Attorney
and all dated December 4, 1820 . The named people are: Wm
Lynn; Anderson Clements ; Catle tt Campbell; William H. Merritt;
John Taylor who was the Co unt y Court Clerk; and William Lockhart
Pres iding J ustice of Orange Co., N. c.
'
The n ext four page s are all recorded in Brunswick Co., Va
wi th two people making af fidavits about the three men and their
servic e in the Revolu tiona r y War.
The first was Moses Pritchett
who said" ... he was well acquainted with John Caudle Jr &amp;
William Caudle so n s o f Joh n Caudle Senr at the time they enlisted . .. under the command of Capt James Lucas of said county".
He also stated that Wil l ia m served about two years, came home
o n a visit and returned again into the service and there died.
It was his understanding " ... that the y never received any
Bounty Lands or Money and that Lewis Caudle is the Brother &amp;
only heir of sd John &amp; Wi lliam as he was their eldest Brother".
The second person attesting was Dicy Edmonds formerly Dicy
Caudl e of lawful age and so forth (she does not say her relationship to th e others) .
In al most the same information as
given by Pritchett she added that ". .. they both died in the
continental War, without leaving either wife or child &amp; that
Lewis Caudle is the oldest brother &amp; heir of sd John &amp; William
Caudle . .. ".
She said that she al s o understood that John died
with the j a undice &amp; William with the small pox; that they were
sons of John Caudle Senr also a soldier in the Revolutionary
war &amp; he e n listed in the County of Lunenburg , Virginia under the
command of D. . ? Rudder? and " ... h e is since dead".
These affidavits were witnessed by Thos Edmonds and Jas.
Edmonds on 11th December 1820.
Then Robert Turnbull, Clerk of
the County of Brunswick , Virginia made a statement to " ... certify
that Thomas Edmonds &amp; James Edmonds . . . are Justices of the
Peace for said County" .
The Edmonds do not state what, if any,
relation they were to Dicy (Caudl e) Edmonds.
The last stat ement and page of the seven is that of
Thomas Edmonds, Justice of the Court of Brunswick County in
Virgini a to certify that Robert Turnbull was the " ... proper
officer appointed by the Laws of the said State ... " etc and
signed the 12th day of December 1820.
Perhaps a Caudle descendant of John Sr or Lewis will find
help in the information in this old fil e; or others will find a
name of interest - I hope so. I am persona lly sorry the Candle
name was Caudle and not Candler but I will just keep looking !

Dear VAN:
I am a member of your association and have.been researching
cemeteries in Pulaski and Montgomery Counties, Va. I am e nclosing a list of thes~ cemeteries; all are on private property
and a re family cemeteries.
I am interested in an association for the preservation of these
cemeteries . Many I have included are in such run-down condition
that it is difficult to find the stones. We only read those we

could locate without digging or cutting brush .
I will be glad to contribut~ to ~ny existing cemetery association,
or if you will place an ~rti~le i~ VAN , I would be glad to correspond
with any writers, every inquiry will be answered . An association
could be set up , and funds placed in one of your local ba nks of
the area and taken care of by elected officials of the organization.

We are hoping to return to Virginia in the Spring to do more research . We would like to stay t~o or three months would like to
rent a mobile ~ome or.apartment in Pulaski or Mont~omery County.
Would require it furnished sparsely and clean. Would pay two or
th r ee months in advance . Would not like to stay in someone ' s home.
Hoping these cemetery readingbs will find a place in VAN.
as I know 1 these have never een published.

As far

Very truly yours,
~

(These books a r e us ually found in a law library . When I started abstracting the cases , I did not copy those that did not have genealogi cal i nformation or only s urnames . Some cases were only half a page, others could be
JO or more pages . Quite often the depositions of witnesses were i ncluded ,
the lawyers briefs , and the judges opinions.

DAVID A.MMEN: A. W.P.A . Project , Virginia -- A Guide to the old Dominion,
printed by Oxford University Press of New York, 1940, page 132 , states
that "the farthes t outpost captured by the press in the 19th Century was
Fincastle, in Botetourt County, where THE HERALD OF VIRGINIA was published in 1800 . " This paper was a four page sheet , 10 x 15t inches, subscription price ten shillings a year, published by !avid Ammen, Editor
and Owner, on what was then Lot 9 on the south side of Main street, now
occupied by the residences of F . T. Waid and W.M. Minter and the law
offices of E.A. Lewey . A copy of this newspaper was among the effects
of the l ate S.Z . Am.men and of General Jacob Ammen and he removed to Ohio
in 1810 , leaving the first newspaper established in Virginia west of

carries the announcement of the testimonials of Ianiel Ammen as to the
efficacy of Dr. H. M. Johnson's cure for skin deseases .
ADMIRAL DANIEL AMMEN : Youngest brother of General Jacob Ammen, was a
graduate of Annapolis with a brilliant Civil War record . He invented
the Balsa and the Gunless Ammen Ram, the ram now being lodged in the
Smithsonian Institution at Washington. Admiral Ammen is credited with
origination the project of the Nicaragua Cana ; and he founded the town
of Ammendale , Maryland , twelve miles from the City of Washington, D.C.
The Ammens and their descendants have given their services to many worthy
causes. One , Samuel Zenas Ammen, born at Fincastle, Va., was one of the
founders of the Kappa Alpha Order, a society founded at Washington and
Lee University , and was the sole author of its ritual, its accolade and
its prayer. Another Ammen born in Fincastle , concocted and manufactured
Ammens Powder, medicated powder still sold on a national basis. The
Ammens established and operated the Fincastle Woolen Mills and built and
owned for many years a brick house which is still a landmark in Fincastle.
BENJAMIN AMMEN : In 1822 the Rev. Dempsey, while pastor of Mill Creek
Church procured its permission to establish a branch of the church in
Fincastle, Virginia . For nine years it was operated as a mission with
the Rev . Dempsey in charge . Then in 1831 the Fincastle Church was
built and the congregation formally organized with Benjamin Ammen being
ordained the first deacon of the Fincastle Church by Elders Harris and
Johnston.
There was always a mill at Fincastle; in fact, Miller's Mill came even
before Fincastle. In 1826, Benjamin Ammen purchased from his father-inlaw, Thomas Cross , his mill located on the west side of the Town Branch,
midway between the extension of Main and Back Streets. This land came
through Benjamin Carper , Henry Wax , Andrew Henry and John Miller of
Miller's Mill . Whether Cross ' s mill was the original Miller's Mill is
unknown to the writer, but the location is practically, if not absolutely,identicaly. In a deed from Benjamin Carper to Benjamin Anunen in 1829
the present Town Branch is spoken of as "Ammens Run"; so we can assume

A substantial two-story brick dwelling was erecte~
by Benjamin Ammen presumably around 1826, close to his factory .
The thick

large and have high ceilings ; and there they cooked and ate .
These r&lt;?oms
have high base paneling and built-in cupboards. The interior decorating
is finely carved , and the door locks bear English crests .
The window

beautiful, decorated with a fan and side light ; and the s tairway , mantels, door frames and chair rai l are finely carved with rope molding .

The Ammen Mill became famous for its Fincastle patterns, woven into
woolen blankets which are still sold today . This mill furnished vital
supplies to the Civil War Commissare Department and the Ammens having
brought from Switzerland the knowledge and skill of the dye industry .
BENJAMIN AW1EN was a trustee of the Fincastle Female Seminary ,
The
first record of which is in a deed dated January 24 , 1850 and recorded
in Deed Book 31 , page 399. This place was on part of land owned by
John T. Anderson called ' Grove Hill , joining the south s ide of Fincastle ,
Virginia.
JACOB AMMEN: A.W .P.A. Project, Virgini a , 'A Guide to the Old Dominion ,
printed ~y Oxford University Press of New York , 1940 , page 132 , states
that Tu.vid Ammen was the father of Rear Admiral 10.niel Ammen and of
General Jacob Ammen, and he removed to Ohio in 1810.
JOHN AMMEN : There after appointed by County Court and called "Assessors ,"
those serving between 1870 and 1875 were : Amsterdam : Mr . Ja.cob G.
Sperry, Mr. Francis M. Kessler and Mr . John Am.men.

�in Botetourt County, Virginia in the year of 1784 to become one of the
large landovmers of that area . Durst Ammen , who was a Luthe.r an all of
his life, s i gned a petition to the State Legislature purporting to be
signed by members of the German Baptist Church.
The Ammens came to America from Swi tzerland and to Botetourt County,
Vi rginia , from Pennsylvania , along with the Hershbergers, Deerdorfs,
and other brethren , but family history is very positive that Durst, the
head of the family in the late 1700's was a Lutheran all of his life and
to the time of his death, although some of his daughters had married
members of the Brethern Congregation .
DURST AMMEN: Signed a petition to the Homble The Speaker and Members of
the Legislature of the State of Virginia in the year of December 1J, 1799
The petition of a number of Inhavitants of the County of Botetourt lmown
by the name of German Baptists respectfully represents. That the members
of our Church have at all times and in all countries, been forbid by
their conscience to take up arms against their fellow man. Observing
as we trust we do, a c.onduct void of offense toward all men we are by
the same principles forbid all legal strife and contention when differences arise a mong us they are settled by the rulers of our Church, We
support our own poor and suffer none of them to become burthensome to
any but to ourselves . To live in this peacable and inoffensive manner,
we consider among our first duties . Notwithstanding laws have at various times been passed to compel a departure from these our religious
opinions, they have in no istance produced other effects than fines and
amerciaments . We humble hope that in this our country, the boast of
which is the uninterrupted enjoyment of civil and religious liberty no
part of the community will be impoverished by perpetual finds for refraining to do an act which to their consciences abhor. To this end we
pray the ourselves with others similarly circumstances may in future be
exempted from fines for not attending musters . Should your Hombly body
deem it improper for us to employ that part of our time to our own emolument, which is employed by others in attending musters, we will chear.full y be employed in labor of public utility and beg leave to suggest that
the improvement of public Roads in our respective neighborhoods might be
most beneficial . In allowing us to commute our labor for public benefit,
instead of military duty , or granting suce other ·relief to your petitioners as their case requires, they as in duty bound will ever pray etc,
There were 43 endorsements on back of this petition,: German Baptist Pet,

DURST AMMON - Record of votes of election held at the Court House in
Botetourt County, April 1792: In 1792, Botetourt County included present Botetourt , Craig , Roanoke and Alleghany Counties, and its qualified
voters (i.e. male owners of property) were required by an act passed
October 1785 to vote for members of the General Assembly . The procedure
was to come to the court house and in the presence of the assemblage
register their votes by a viva voce presentation of their choice to the
Sheriff , who thereupon recorded them on the election records. Some 518
names appear on the Botetourt County land tax lists for 1792, and it
appears that }21 voted in this election. Durst Ammon voted for one
George Hancock, one M. McFerran (as delegates), one James Montgomery (as
senator) .

cool, wary and vigorous method in which he managed h i s brigade , especi ally distinghishing himself at Pittsburg Landing and Shiloh.
After the
Civil War, General Ammen became Engineer of Hamilton County (Cincinnati) ,
Ohio. He was later sent by the United States Government , alon g with a
party of distinguished Army and Nav.y Engineers , to report upon the probable fate of. the De L~sseps scheme and the f easibility of the Nicaragua
Canal. He first married Caroline Pi erce a cousin of President Frankl.in
L. Pierce and his second wife was Angela ' Martha daughter of General
Nathaniel Beasl~y.. He. died near Cincinnati, Ohlo , at the age of 88
years , a most distinguished teacher , soldier and engineer .

COMPUTER NOTES : from an articl e "Genealogy More Popular", The Sun, Bremerton, WA
Horne Computer enthusiasts can use the latest technology to help trace family roots.
There are now about 50 software packages available that can maintain a data base
for genealogy . It i s also possible to share data with other computerized researchers via modem .
For example , Bill Johnson, a pioneer in computerized genealogical research, is
excited about future development. He has traced a few lines of his ancestry to
1621 , when some of his forefathers came to the New World on Ann,, the second Pilgrim ship to follow the Mayflower. But Johnson was stymied on another quest.
"Some of my ancestors arrived in the United States from Germany in the 1880s during a huge wave of immigration , " he says . "Their records are buried somewhere in
130 massive rolls of unindexed microfilm at the Nati onal Archives ." Within a
few years, however, it may be possible for Johnson to patch his home computer
into the records of the National Archives .

=================================================================================
SPECIAL CENSUS SCHEDULES: Most people p ay little attention to the "Special Census
Schedules " since it only gives the veteran ' s name (or his widow's), his regiment
and company , his s t a te of servi ce , an~ a little informa tion about his gener a l
health . But for s omeone who does not*the regiment o r co mpany a Civil War ancestor
s erved in but knows where he was livin g i n 1 890, this cens u s is very helpful.
Remember that the 1 890 s pecial cens u s was i n two basic categories: 1 ) the listings
of the veterans or their widows according to the civil jur isdiction they l ived i n
(city , township , etc.) and 2 ) a separate list, by state, for veterans living i n
local, s tate , or national institutions.
The special census of Union Veterans and
widows of vetera ns in 1890 are still in existance for Washington, DC , about hal f
of Kentucky and for Louisiana, Maine, Md, Mass, Mich . , Montana, Neb, Nev, NH , NJ ,
NM , NY, NC, ND, Ohio, Okla, a nd Indian Terr., Or, Pa, BI, SC, Sd, Tenn, Texas,
Utah , US Ships &amp; Navy yards, Vt, Va , Wisc , and Wyo.
Schedules for ot h e r s t ates
were destroyed in t h e 1921 f i re that a l so des troyed the populat ion schedules of
1890. The Special Census Schedules are p art of the Records of the Veterans Admini s tration , Record Group 15, and a re microfilmed on M12J, 1 1 8 rol ls .
(Tri-State
Trader. ) from "Genealogy Digest ", Vol 16 #1 Winter 1985, p 2 0.
Note: The Virg i nia Room, main Roanoke City Library, Roanoke, Va, has the film a t least for Virgin i a . And in the sou t h , the census t aker would put the Confeder ate soldi er d own and t han mark through the name (in some cases) since only the
Union soldiers were to be lis ted.

Dear Fellow Genealogists:
Your executive board is interested in promoting
activities to further genealogical research.
We are
always
interested in your suggestions as to how we
might serve you better.
Recent I y we purchased some new genea I ogi ca 1
research materials to be placed in the Virginia Room of
the Roanoke City Library.
In August we purchased the
1787 tax
lists and we feel that these will be an
important addition to the Virgi nia Room collection.
We
have also ordered books to be placed in the Virginia
Room in memory of three persons who were members of
SWVGS.
We purchased Marriage Records of Pittsylvania
County in memory of Lela Adams; Marriage notices from
Richmond. Virginia Newspapers. 1821-1840 in memory of
T. E. Gardner; and Virginia Settlers, Vol . II in memory
of
Sid Wolford.
We also placed Greenbrier County
Records i n memory of Ruth Ware, s ister of Belva Counts .
On behalf of the executive board , I would like to
express my appreciation to Jim and Mimi Prince who have
done printing of the VAN for more than four years.
The
Princes,
who untl l
recently owned PIP Printing i n
downtown
Roanoke,
have been
most
helpful
and
cooperative and we have enjoyed working with them.
As I
end my two years as president of your
organization, I wish to express my appreciation to the
executive board and other volunteers who have worked so
hard to keep the society moving .
I have enjoyed the
past two year"s and wish the very best to the new
president and executive board.

TALL-: i'O TI-i3 GENEALOGY SOCIETY , ON aoTETOU:tT COUNTY, VIRGINIA
by ;teoecca H. d . Austin, August 20 , 1988

";J hen we were asked to talk about mtetourt County, our first reaction was
t hat :Ootetourt. County has been analyzed and dissected and glued back
t.oget.her several t.iines by historians and genealogists •.. and that probably
some of you know more about the County than we . .. . out t.he County is most.
import.ant because of the vast number of settlers whose paths took them
down the ·JaLi.e y of Virginia , bot.h west and south •.. with stop-overs at
Bor.etourts ' Fincastle •.. which was the jumping off place and last supply
source for many set.tlers traveling both to the Carolinas and t.o the Kentucky
and Tennessee territories. The County court- house is a repository of recorcis
for many families , no longer in Virginia •.. but whose ancestors passed this
way, , and stayed perhaps long enough to marry ... and the territory was so
vas t that the County records include land and personal records for the
entire area now composed of Southwest Virginia, Kentucky , i·: est 'h rginia,
and parts of Ohio. To refre sh your memory as to the formation of the
many counties from Botetourt County ; the parent County . . . •
Botetourt County was farmed in 1770 from the southern part of Augusta
County .
It then included all of the Virginia and West Virginia territ.ories,
west of the Blue .:lidge and south of a line running through the center of
~o ckbridge County , and west to include the southern parts of Pocahontas,
Nicholas , Clay , .~oane and Jackson Counties , WEst iTirginia , and ·the si:.ate of

Kenuucky.

In 1772 .Botetourt County was divided into two Counties ; the western section
called Fincastle County . The dividing line between the tt10 ran along the
east side of the New ::tiver , to the mouth of Culbertsons Creek, t.hence to
the Catawba road, where it crosses the dividing ridge bett1een the North
fork of ~ioanoke and the waters of New 3.iver ••• from roughly present day
t:lontgomery County , west; Botetourt County then comprised its present
area , the southern parts of Bath and ilockbridge Counties , all of Craig,
Allegheny , and Roanoke Counties . Fincastle County existed only four years,
since in 1776 it was divided into Hontgomery County, Va ., ',vashington 80. , :la.,
and Kentucky Territory.

In l 778 ~o ckbridge County was formed.from Augusta and Botetourt; and
Greenbrier County was formed f rom Botetourt and Montgomery Counties.
In l 78 5 a part of J.ockbridge County we st of the top of Camp :t-';ountain was
transferred to Botetourt and in 1790, some of the southern portion to
Botet.ourt was added to ~·iontgomery County. Additional territory of
Botetourt was added to Montgomery in 1795 and there was a minor border
change in 1 796.

Bath County was created from Augusta, Botetourt and Greenbrier Counties in
1791.
D1 1802 Part of Botetourt County was added to Monroe County, w. Va.
Allegheny County was created in 1822 from Bath, Botetourt and Monroe Counties.
in 1838, 3.oanoke County was formed from the southern part of Botetourt Count.y;
and in 1851.Craig County was formed from parts of Botetourt, Giles, Joanoke
and iv!onroe Counties.
(The rule for creating new Counties, by the House of Burgesses, was that
the area under consideration have 800 tithables, and could build a church
and a courthouse ... 1760)

�The book, BOTETOIBT COUNTY HIS!OJ.Y BEFO.:tE 1800 , was sugge sted. as a ':)a sis
for our discussion .... 3ince t.here have been se,_reral 3otet.our~ ooo~s . .. for
instance ..• StS:::JBZ::J OF THE :IBPUBLIC by Bob Stoner , gives us i3o t.et.ourt
history· from the beginning to the 1970 ' s , through County records ; hr.
(Charles T. ) 3urtons many excellent publicat·.ons , census reco '&lt;is, his
books of tithables, and of the children , etc., all give us many facts
about the CoW1tys ' people and are a most valuable source for genealogical
and· other re search ; Kegley ' s ·v:rnGil\ IA IBQt;TIE.:1 is a ma rvelous compila t.ion
of many kinds of information, people, battles , recorci.s of service and
marriages; movements and land transa ctions . ••. and Jeede ~aegy ' s book
gives us an excellent picture of the settlement and growth of the Bonsack
area .
:·le were asked by the Botetourt County Bicentenniel Corrmissions '
Publication Cocrunittee , to complete their series of four publications;
promised and sold already to many subscribers .. . the first thre e in this
series had been published; the Book of Newspaper items ; the Cemetery
~ec ords; and the .Letters and Correspondence volume.
Lacking , was t.he
proposed over-view of the County before 1800 ..• which was our tas~ . Two
members of the Coaunittee, Helen Carper Caldwell and Patric i a Hickin, had
gathered much information •• • Helen had abstracted several Court order Jocks
and Patricia had a box of miscellaneous materials • .• • but no one had been
able, or had time , to put it into order , or to plan what to use in the
proposed lOJ page booklet • .. so . •. . we tackled the project ••. given the large
box of materi~l and notebooks full of court records. (The Court records
alone would be most valuable i f published, to researchers, but would be
very poor readin~; and could not be condensed into lX pages , our limit ,
by their budget.) So , we discussed the matter at some length after reading
through all this matarial and decided that we would have to find a lot of
glue to weld this dukes mixture of all sorts of unrelated i~ems together
into a book ••• but the whole collection seemed to support our idea of
trying to create a picture of life as it was lived at the time ..• breaking
the whole into sections,each dealing with the problems , and phases of 1.ife ;
economics, the laws, the education system , the medical treatments , the
reaction to war (Point Pleasant and the tlovolution) , the attitude toward
slaves and toward Tories, the farming methods and crops , t.he weliare
system,etc •. • so this is what we sought to glue into a readable whole ;
the best glue we found was in the descriptions of life of the times found
in the ~~illiam Fleming Papers in the "ti. &amp;: L . University Library , Manuscript
Collection: The Preston Family - :tobert Preston and Cabell ?amily Papers ,
Swem Library, William and Hary : and The Draper - Preston Papers , University
of 'fiisconsin Libr ary 8ollection , on microfilm in the Virginia :loom , .toanoke
Public 1.ibral"'IJ.
In working with this material, we found that this was not a project two
could work on well together ••• so , as far as the actual writing of the book ,
I did that. I would like to shar e some of the glue with you :
From

DaAPER - PRESTON PAPERS , Vol. lOXX, P. 63

Diseases of children were mostly ascribed to uorms; for the expulsion of

·11orms a solution of corn Jlixed with salt was given . The dose was always
large. I well remember being compelled to take a half a tablespoon:'ull
when quite small, and to the best of my recollection it generally answered
t he purpose . Scrapings of pewter spoons was another r eme dy for tl':e worms ,
as was sulphate of iron.

�Adult.s t.oo , were troubled ·11ith worms , on January J , 1782 Harry Innes
wrote t.o :ol. Fleming giving him the results of the worm medicine which
r.e prescribed for Innes ' wife st.ating ''The number of worms she has
avo ided f rom i:,i.rne to t.ime are almost incredible ."
For b urns a ;;ou.ltice of Indian meal was a common remedy , or a portion of
scra p ed pot.a toes . The croup was common , and many children died of it.
The j uice o.f roasted onions was given , as was garlic. For fever , s;.\-aating
was the g ene ral r emedy , and a white walnut bark was boiled and the juice
d.ruru:.
Fo r a snake tite , the snake was caught and killed, and cu.t into pieces
about. 2 inches long , which were laid on the wound to draw out the poi·son,
or chestnut leaves were collected and placed on the wound. The snakes
re mains were usually burned to ashes , &lt;LS revenge for what he had done.
A n umbe r of native plants were used for snake bites too .. . but the set.r.lers
did n ot. use the =-emedies of t.he Indians for snake bites .
Gunshot wounds were treacherous , and treated with slippery el.-n bark, flax
seed and other poultices . I'he itch was very common and was treated with an
ointment made of brimstone and hot. lard. Pleurisy was the only disease which
was s upposed to be treated by bl ood- letting . For sprains or sore muscles
bear grease , or any other animal fat was used as a liniment . The erysiplis
or St . Anthonies Fire was circumscribed by the blood of a black cat. There
was scarcely a black cat to be seen whose ears or tail had not been queerly
cropped for a contribution of bl ood .
From SKETCHES AND !IBCOLLECTIONS OFLYNCHBURG, by the Oldest Inhabitant
Published by C . H. :iynne , ~ichmond , Va. 1858
Colonel Charle s Lynch was a son of Charles Lynch, who came from Ireland
to settle on a large body of land on the J ames Rive r, in sight of the
Peaks of Otter , in the early l?OO's. Charles · ~ch's son, John Lynch,
operated a ferry across the James aiver, around which grew the city of
~chburg.
Col . Char les Lynch (Jr . ) resided on the Staunton aiver, a
branch of the :toanoke liver , an~as an officer in the ].evolutionary Army.
Dur ing the war, the conntry on the James ;tiver, and on the Roanoke, about
the Bl ue 3.idge and in the western mountain passes, was harassed by a
lawless band of Tories and despera~es. The problem required a strong
sol ution.
Col . r.ynch was a resolute , determined man, of elevated patriotic
p rinciples and a staunch ','Jhig . He organized and took the lead of a strong
body of determined patriots - men of mor al character and colTUJlanding influence,
and scoured the country nightand day . They took many of the desperadoes,
gave them a summary trial , at which Col. 13nch sat as judge; empanneled a
j .ury , and on convict ion , executed · punishment in a prompt manner. The
Villians were permitted to defend themselves , and to show mitigating
c ircun1stance s , and when punished, to clear out . Many well-meaning persons
are frightened at the name of ~ch Law, without knowing its history, code
or appliance. It did require proof positive, as would produce conviction of
guilt in any other circumstance.
Col. Lynch raised a regiment of riflemen, after he had officiated as judge,
in r e l ieving the country from Tories , thieves and murderers. He was present
at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, where he behaved with great gallantry .
He died soon after the war. Charles l..v'nch, Esq. afterwards Governor of
Mississippi , was his son.

Viratn!&amp; Appalaohian Notes

�Botetourt Ministers •• •
Some ministers were sent from Fennsyl vania as missionaries to visit the p eo pl~ in
people in Virginia and organise congregations in those parts , and others
came of their own accord and settled . The fiftL one to come and first to
stay was ~ev . John Craig , of the :megal Presbyter-/ . ~e came as ear ly as
1740 .and served regularly the congregat ions of the upper Shenandoah and
irregularly thesscattered settlements of the upper br anches of the James
and Roanoke Rivers , as well as serving Tinkling Springs Congregation, and
the Old Stone Church in Augusta County.
On 7/30/1742, aev. John Craig took up land; 472 acres on the north side of
Craigs Creek; 4-::xJ acres the same year on the fork of the James anc ~ ~aigs
Creek; anc 158 acres on the fork of Fatterson 's and ~ r aig s C ree~ . ne held
Pre sbyterian services for acongregation called J enean Fresbyte:rJ, in a
chapel on the edge of Mary tv!cJonalds , widow of Edward t-!c:Jonald , land , at t. ne
Mc:!)onald (or Glebe) graveyard. This Mc:Jonald r.ieeting house was es1:.c.bli sheci
farther west after the death of Bryan McDonald, on the Catawba Jivide .
The ;iev. John Craig baptized Thomas Madisons children •• • he a cousin of
Pre sident James r·iadison - Thomas was a son of John Hadison , first clerk of
Augusta County. He also baptized Gene r al Andrew Lewis 's children .
From t he Botetourt Court Order Book , years 1780 - 1784, John Craig furnished
materials for the aevolutionary Arrrry, and sent a man called Howard to fight
in the 'liar in his place. !tev. John Craig served as a deputy sheriff tmder
William Hadison, High Sheriff in 1781, and also tmder Samuel 'roC:.d in 179).
After Braddocks Defeat on July 9, 1755, .{Ev . John Craig argued fo r the
building of forts against expected Indian rai ds . . • and gave his time and money
along with others, to build fortifications for the Old Stone Presbyterian
C:hurch , 'built about 1750 near Stau.1ton . In 1756 many Indian battles were
fought at Johns Creek, now New Castle . itev . John Craig was not onl~,r a
minister, but a patriot and a businessman , who never re.fused land grants when
they wereoffered him. The Creek on which he lived, and the Cotmty fo r~e d

�jQHN G!iAYBILL

John Graybill, (Johannes Gracie: , born abou~ 1747 - died 1818) a son
of immigrant Christian Graybill, migrated to Dotetourt :ounLy in about
1778; a German, who spake tne language and taught it t o his child=en,
and ~ member of the German aaptist Church . He ~cquired land f~rsL on t he
!·~orth ?ork of the :toanoke !tiver, (now l·:ontgomery Cotmty) , and in July
1785 purchased land from ·,hlliam Ward; 220 acr es on aaci( Creek,
3otetourt CoWJty. He had.married Hannah Bondecke r (or 2orntrager ) , born
in 175,) , died 18J8 in permsylvania . He was a ve ry religious man , as
his father had been in Pennsylvania. His father had preaching in his
home and barn in Pennsylvania; which meetings led to the building of a
church on the Graybill farm at Pennsville , ?a.
//hen John Graybill came to Virginia , following the example of his faLher ,
he made his home a preaching place. Services were held in his house in
winter and in his barn during the summer months . ',•ihen his son, Sol omon ,
built his brick house , he divided the first floor into two large rooms by
a movable partition. This partition was made of board plank , carefully
dressed and jointed by hand, and removed r e adily, and in this way the
home was converted into a me~ting place of considerable capacity. Dl!.ring
the summer months his barn floor , well swept , was made the preaching place .
This also accommodated quite a large congregation. For seating the
worshippers he prepared ~enches which were placed in the house or barn, a s
the season determined, and which were carefully stored above his wagon
shed when not in use. These seats survived the building of churches in t he
corrununity, and remained as witnesses even to the third generation, of the
fact that the Graybills descend from a religious ancestry. The crick
house with the movable partitions still stands near Nace , Va .

In 1850 the Clergy population had grown considerably .•• there were 6 ~-lethoC.ists ,
1 Lutheran, 6 Baptist, 1 Episcopal Priest ••• in the Census the Presbyt.erians
are not identified, nor are the Brethren ; but two men are identified by the
letters OSP ••• which we understand means that they are licensed to only perform
marriages and funerals • • •not to preach and give the Sacraments .
This information on the Woodville family, is from Jane ~foodville :1·eus , a
professor at Marshall College, and who is presently researching and writing
a new book on Thomas Jefferson , based on his correspondence with a dear
friend, Eliza Tryst. Mrs . WElls is a descendent of James Littlepage ·,voodville.
The .:1.everend Jolm W

Culpeper in the mid 1700 ' s ••• his son, James Littl epage :voodville, was born
in Culpeper and studied law under his W1Cle , Andrew Stephenson , who was
not much older than he. Andrew Stephenson had a long distinguished career
a s a lawyer, and became an Ambassador, I believe Jane Wells said , to England.
~·Jhen James Littlepage completed his law studies and passed the Bar , he left
Culpeper and w~nt t o Sweet Springs, Monroe GoW1ty &gt;to begin practice . There
he met and married Mary Sophia Lewis of Sweet Spr"ings, she a daughter of
John Lewis and Mary Preston Lewis; i•.ary freston Lewis was a daughter of
Col. ·t lilliam Prest.on and Susanna Smith. John Lewis owned the Sweet Springs ,
and was of the family of Lewises for which Le wisburg is named •.• h.:.s father ,

James Littlepage ·,· Joodville left Sweet Springs and came to Fincastle , to
pr act. ice law there before 1820 . His office was behind the Courthouse, and
he b ought. about two blocks of Fincastle on Back Street , which runs parallel
t.o ~1.ain Street , in front of the Presbyterian Church ; Jane Wells believe s
he l ived in a house on Back Street which now carries the date of 1812. He
was a prominent Episcopal layman; was on the Board of Trustees and Vestry
of St . :-~arks Episcopal Church, which was built in 1817; and he was instrumental in building the Church , named for this father:s church in Culpeper.
James Lit.t.lepage ':/oo&lt;ivil.le left Fincastle and moved to Buchanan to become
president of the Bank of Buchanan in about 1838 . •. and was also instrumental

RULES OF CONDUCT FOR AND "PET PEEVES" ABOUT GENEALOGISTS

In ·.1i s i t i ng resea r ch facilities, I have become aware of
prob lems •:: r.:::ated by visitors doing genealogical research.
To
el;eminate
these
problems,
I
talked
to
librarians,
ar c hivi s t s , cl erks of cou rt , and staff in court houses to become
fami 1 iar with their rules of conduct and "pet peeves" concerning
their patrons.
Please read the following rules and see if we
genealogists
c an
improve
the opinions of the staff of these
re sea r c h facilities .
Before using research materials,
be sure to wash your hands
to
r e mov e
o utside
soil
to
prevent contaminating books and
r ecords.
Do not " 1 i c k" your finger to turn a page.
Not only is
i t unsanita ry,
but the acid and enzymes in the saliva will cause
the pages to deteriorate.
Do
not open file boxes and drawers in c ourt houses without
permi ssio n o f the staff .
Fountain pens are forbidden everywhere.
Ball point pens are
forbidden when using original re cords and very old books.
Be on
the
safe
side
and
use soft
pencils or mechanical pencils.
Ac ci den t s c an happen.
It
is in the best interest of all researchers not to make
de rogat ory
remarks
a bout
the s upporting organization of Law
Libraries, Ch urch Libraries, and State Libraries .
You are a
gue s t
a nd
it· is a pri vi ledge, not a right, for you to researc h
there s o be on your best behavior .
When
requesting in:for:mation in person from a
librarian,
a
clerk or a n archivist, do not relate your entire ancestry bac k to
the 1700 ' s. A s urname, approximate date, and a possible county is
all
the information necessary for an individual to provide you
with research materials .
If
writing
to
a research facility,
state your reque st
briefly and include a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
Obey a l l posted rules.
USE, don't ABUSE the records.
When leaving a research facility,
push your chair under the
table ,
place used books in the return book c art, and take all of
your not es with you .
Li mi t
conversation with your companion to avoid distracting
others .
There
are
many
other i n:fringements of researching too
numer ous to mention, but keep in mind not to "scan" a page with a
pen,
do not expect the 1 i brarian to do your research for you or
ask that your microfilm be read for you. THIS IS YOUR WORK .
There
have been instances of theft and mutilation of books
Please
and co urt re co rds. This is a crime and punis hable by law.
do not become a statistic.
Your
success
in
research
fa c ilities
depends on
your
attitude,
c onduct,
and
handling of research ma terials and will
ref le G t on a l l future researchers.

NOTES ON BEDFORD, VIRGilUA

contributed by
Bed£ord City-County Museum
THE MUSEUM (Once a Masonic Temple) . Liberty Lodge AF &amp; AM #95 was organized on July 6, 1813 .
The six charter members were Christopher Clark,
William Johnson , Reuben Cauford , Joseph Needham, Benjamin Rice , and
William Porter .
In 1829 , William R. Porter, conveyed to the Wardens of
Liberty Lodge #95, Lot #19 on Fast Main Street on which the first Ma.sonic
Temple was erected.
That Lodge was converted into a dwelling house when
the new temple was built in 1895 on the co:rner of Main &amp; Court Streets,
'!he Lodge is now its third location (Longwood Avenue) and the Bedford
City- County Museum now occupies the Lodge building on Ma.in &amp; Court Streets .
Mrs . Robert Newton Krebs is the Museum Curat or.

AUNSPAUGH CEMETARY.
Johann Peter Auspach lived in Germany in 1755 and
came to this country on a pleasure trip . He liked it so well, he decided
to stay and in 1794 he purchased a house on Fast Mai n Street in Bedford.
Mr . Auspach &amp; family belonged to the Luthe:ran faith and according to
family tradition he was a tanner by trade .
'!he house and lot faced East Main Street . Apparentl y the lot was a very
deep one since the cemetery i s located some distance from where the
house originally stood . His daughter , Miss Mary Aunspa.ugh, conducted a
private school from a building on the lot for many years .
'!he original old German spelling was Von Auspach. The "Von" was dropped
many years ago and the anglici sed spelling of the name is now Aunspaugh.
Al though there are a few Aunspaugh decendants living , the name has disapp eared from our area .
'!he exact location of cemetery - ask at the Museum.
BEDFORD PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. The earliest records of a Presbyterian Congregation in the town date back to 184). It is known , however, that before that time there was a congregation in Liberty which worshipped at
the Court House and in the old Masonic Hall.
'!he Steeple was built on the ground. Loafers and others who quit their
work to watch i t put in position argued pro and con that it could not be
done .
The workmen , t i red of increasing crowds, took advantage of a
bright moonlight night, and when the town was asleep, hoisted i t t o the
proper place, where it remains today,

BOWLING: As most alleys were adjuncts of saloons , their image was tainted by gambling and intemperance. (In the 19J0x and '40s). That had been the case in England
since the 16th century , Gentlemen played "at bowls" --rolling a ball toward a
stationary marker -- but ruffians bowled ''at pins," knocking them asunder . It was
mock-hunting (the phrase "duck pins" su.rvives), commoners being denied the right
to kill game by feudal law. "A Perfect Game" by Toby Thompson, "Philip Morris''
magazine, Winter 1987.

TENNESSEE
May 1810.:. Lott Luttrell bought land from William Pries, Warren Co .
Feb 1816: Michael Luttrell bought land in Lincoln Co .
Nov 1817:. Jesse Luytrell sold land (Jesse married Clary Shel ton daughter of James,
1798 in Ky.) They were living in Lauderdale Co ., Ala, 1820, where he died).
Nathan Luttrell also owned land in Lincoln Co, which he sold in 1825.
Nov 1, 1816: Deed from Shelton heirs to Jarmon Shelton which reads as follows:
"This indenture made &amp; entered into this 1st day of Nov, in the year 1816
between Nathan Luttrell; Prissila Shelton, administratrix of Varda Shelton,
dec'd; James Shelton, Jr; Michael Luttrell; Peter Shelton; Benjamin Hudson
(wife Shelton girl); Letty IA.mean (married Charles D.lncan 1797, Lincoln Co,
Ky); &amp; Harmon Shel ton, all join heirs of James Shel ton , deceased of Lincoln
Co &amp; State of Tennessee of the one part &amp; Jarman Shel ton of the other part .. "
(Lettie IA.mean was Lettie Shelton. She would almost have to be a daughter
of James Sr, in order to be included in this deed).
From the research on the Luttrells , Nathan &amp; Michael Luttrell must have married
James Shelton's daughters , this James probably son of Ralph, Henry Co, Va . The
name of Michael's wife Anne, showed up on a deed in Patrick Co, Va. But who was
Nathan's wife &amp; where did they marry? Nathan was bo:rn ca 1747 &amp; Michael ca 1751 ,
in Fauquier Co, Va. They both along with Rodharn, served in the Rev War in 1781,
in Fauquier Co. Between 1781 and 1787 they moved to Henry Co , later Patrick Co ,
Va, and there married the Shelton girls .
The other James Shelton , who made a will, 1784, Henry Co , believed to be the James
born ca 1726 and brother to Ralph , Jr , children of Sir Ralph &amp; Mary Pollard , Middlesex Co, Va. This James named only Nathan &amp; James (minors) in his will, but it
is believed he had a son Wi~liam &amp; a daughter who married Gregory D.irham. He could
have been married twice and named only the youngest children in his will. Samuel
Shelton, could possibly also be a son of James .
James Shelton, who is mention in the deed in Henry Co, 1805 , is the son of
James who died 1784, mentioned in his will, From the above, he could not be the
son of Ralph.

�DOUBLE DATI NG
This article copied from GENEALOGY DIGEST, Volume 1 9 , #2 Sp r ing 1988 ,

"The use of double dates in o l d record s tha t have be en t r ansc r ibed i s o f ten
puzzling, not only to the novice but to "old h a n ds " as we ll.
The calendar was changed in 175~.
Pr i or to S ept e mbe r 3 , 1 752 , the y ear
began March 25 instead of ~anuary 1, and March was c a l led t h e fi rst month
(another point of confusion causing misinterpretat ion wh e n the o r ig inal entry
gave the number of the month instead of the n a me ).
To c a ncel the 11 d a ys di f ference between the old and new style Sept e mber 3 was c a ll e d Septemb e r 14 .

�Thi s arti cJ c was sent to us by Mrs . Glenn M. Turnell . It appeared in Volume
III, Numb e r 2, 19 8 2 of The Pioneer Hagon, a quarterly publication of the Jackson
County Ge nealogical Society of Independence , MO .
THE FRICK FAMILY OF JACKSON COUNTY , MISSOURI
By : Mrs . Glenn M. Turnell

Each of us who has our roots in this county must have ONE family whose
early history may help the searcher, if for no other reason than the many
names connected with it .
Perhaps a limited resume of the Frick family of
Oak Grove and Kansas City will bring to light some lost names. My blood
connection with this branch of the family goes rather far back but the personal
contacts over many years were quite extensive . I hope this little story will
be of help to some in finding a name at a time or place now unknown thereby
filling a blank in a puzzle!
So many of the early settlers of Missouri were Virginians that one
wonders why it was not called "New Virginia" ? I do not be l ieve there are
many states t'7hich c a n boast of so many whose beginnings were in Vir g inia,
even though some may have stopped off for short periods in Ke n t ucky or Tennessee.
I will start this particular Frick family wit.h the entries from the
English Bible . There was also one published in German with the entries in
German but that is another story and I will elaborate briefly on the details
at the end of this article .
I have photocopies of the original pages of the
English record if anyone should care to see them but rather than list the
names as shov..rn - just dates and such - I will make comments to help explain
a little about the individuals .
William Frick, whom I will show as #1 hereafter, was born 4 May 1791
(Hanover, Germany according to his statement in the 1850 census) and died in
Jackson County , tlissouri 25 .May 1875 . I have never learned who his parents
were nor when he arrived in this country, but in 1850 (and long before) he
was in Russell County, Virginia with his second wife Margar_et who was born
in Tennessee 25 September 1801 and died Jackson County, Missouri 27 July
1876 .
The Bible shows "William Frick and Margarette Snapp were married on
the 8 of May 1826 at Blountville, Tennessee ." The 1850 census shows th e m in
Russell County, Virginia, 54th District, dwelling 905, he 57 and she 49 ; and
next to them in number 906 is William Snapp 47, wife Priscella 46 and six
children, so we certainly may asswne this William Snapp was a brother of
Margarette most often called Margaret V., which probably was for Vance.
Before proceeding further with the family after the second marriage to
Margaret a few details concerning the first marriage will be given.
William Frick Ill married first, date unknown but place proba bl y
Russell County , Virginia, (Sarah) Sally Ewing Hughes daughter of Oliver
Hughes and Jane (nee Ewing) Hughes, she being the daughter of Samuel Ewing
who died Russell County, Virginia before 11 March 1817 when his will was
filed for probate.
Early Russell County marriage records were destroyed
but we can arrive at fairly accurate dates from other r e cord s . Sally was
named in her grandfather's will written 20 February 1815 and she evidentl y
married between this date and the date of the birth of her first child.
There were two children by William # 1: Christopher Frick born ca 18 18 and
Oliver Hughes Frick born 1 September 1819. Sally died after 1 8 19 and before
May 1826 when William married the second time.
Both Christopher and Ol iver
stayed in Virginia long after William and Margaret left for Missour i.
Christopher had a large family and probably died in Virginia. Oliver Hughes

Charles Dow Frick b 20 January 1 869 died 7 August 1902 at
Kansas City , Mi ssouri . He was a doct or but nothing f ur ther
known about him.
Bible shows no record of a marriacc.
All of these children as well as the parents and erandparents are buried in
Oak Grove, Missouri.
I have a copy of a Warranty Deed dated 18 April 1875 wherein William Frick
of Jackson County party of the first part and William E . Fr i clt party of the
second part for One Dollar paid by the party of the Second part grant , bargail'
and sell, convey and . . etc., property both real and personal in Trust for the
benefi t of the wife of William Frick , Margaret V. Frie l&lt; dur in e her natural life
and at her death to be placed at interest with proper sureties for tl1e benefit
of Charles Dow Frick, until he arrives at the age of twenty one years , then the
whole amount to be given to him . . etc .. The items sho\m are : 1/4 acre (with
legal description) ; one Bay Mare; one promissory note against John Darby for
one Hundred and t wenty five dollars and one against William E . Frick for one
Hundred and fifty dollars . This instrurner.t is in Book 113 Page 176, recorded
at Independence , Missouri signed by lhlliam Fr ick before a Notary Pub lic, A. N.
Clay, 26th April 1 8 75 . The County Recorder was C. D. Lucas and the Duputy
Recorder was T. A. Lucas .
(They seemed to have kept th e job in th e fam il y ! )
Dr. William J . Frick was an extremely will known doctor and a beloved
person.
In fact there was quite a long article in The Kansas City Times ,
Friday, February 24, 1967 about him . He was known as " Billy Frick - a Doctor ' s
doctor." Gutzon Borglum made a bust of him which was in the library at Research
Hospital and Medical Center . Whether it is still there is unknown .
There were two Dr . William Fricks in Kansas City who were friends and
many times the two were confused; but our William J. was a surgeon and the
other a dermatologist who died in 1926. As far as is known they were not
related.
Dr. Robert McE . Schauffler said of Dr . William J . Frick '' he was a
quiet, modest man, and a great surgeon . His operative techniques were more
like those of Dr. Wili Mayo than was achieved by any other surgeon here .
He died poor because he charged many patients little or nothin g , and did
not press the others to pay. " (This I persona lly know to be true . GMT)
For many years Dr. William J. Frick lived in Kansas City (between travels
a nd s tudies abroad) and then he went back to Oak Grave to live but became a
commuter; and when weather was such or it was necessary that he stay for longer
periods of time in Kansas City, he and his wife lived at the Hotel Muehlebach,
so that he could be near the Research Hospital, which was also practically another
home .
This was of course because of his patients - they were always FIRST .
The home at Oak Grove had a l ways been known as the "Frick Hill ." After
Dr. William J. moved back he remodeled and added to the home.
It still had
many of the original furnishings which had been brought from Virginia , including
cut glass and old books.
One room I remember so especially contained many, many
very old memorabilia, including the two Bibles, among beautifu l old dresses , hats
and many other things which had belonged to deceased members of the family .
This
room was like a private little museum in a lovely home of many rooms , which
was always open to everyone - family or friend .
After the death of Dr. William J. Frick his brother Frank M. and wife
Annabel moved to the Hill . Frank was at one time the banker and also a druggest
in 02k Grove and he lived well past his 96th year at the old home place with
his wife.
They too were loveable and gracious people.
As I recall the size
of the "Frick Hill" property was about ten acres and before his death Frank gave
five acres of the land to the town of Oak Grove for a park .
The "Hi l l " had
always been the place for the townspeople to gather for picnics and fami l y
outings, so he fe lt part of it belonged to them .
Because of age and financial
conditions the home and premises were not }{ept up to the old standards for some
time before the deaths of both these dear old people.

Vtrgin.1a. Appals.ch!e.n Notes

~rick married Nary Jane Nordyke and they had nine known children, all born
in Russe l l County, a number of whom later moved to Missouri.
Oliver was my
great-grandfather and he may have gone to Missouri with his son, Newton White
Frick and wife Rebecca Jane (nee Candler) Frick and their children, Georgie
Adalin e (my mother) , Eula , Elma and James . A second son, William A. Frick,
was born in Missouri March 1890 .
My grandparents , Newton White and Rebecca Jane Frick with the four
children moved to Jackson County, Missouri from Russell County, Virginia
in the late 1800s; and I assumed for years that Oliver Hughes Frick had
died in Virginia until I unearthed an old stone in the Oak Grove cemetery
giving his date of birth and his death as 26 March 1885. His wife, my
great-grandmother, Mary Jane Nordyke Frick had died in Russell County 24
April 1874 .
I will give no further details about this branch of the family
at this time - that could be another story.
William Frick # 1 and Margaret V. Snapp had only one child as far is
known ,
He was Hilliam E. Frick born Russell County , Virginia 3 May 1828
died Jackson County (Oak Grove), Missouri 5 July 1889; married in Virginia
31 July 1856 Ellen Fulkerson who was born 20 July 1833 Virgin ia died 4 June
1913 in Kansas City , Missouri. She was the daughter of Jacob VanHook
Fulkerson born 30 March 1800 died 26 December 1884; married 24 September
1823 Catherine Ann Ew ing born 1804 died 27 January 1869; daughter of Nathaniel
Ewing (who was son of William) and Jane Elinor Ewing born 2 April 1778 died
10 October 1810 . And she was the daughter of Patrick Ewing 1737/1818 and Jane
Porter his wife 1739/1784. This Patrick Ewing was the brother of Samuel Ewing
of the Russell County , Virginia will of 1817 and the grandfather of Sally Ewing
Hughes who was the first wife of William Frick #1. What a puzz le for the
genealogist this one is !
William Frick #1 was a doctor, probably getting his education in Germany;
his son William E . also became a doctor as did two of his grandsons, William
Jacob and Charles Dow Frick . More about them later.
William E. Fr i ck received his medical education and degree at Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania and was graduated April 1853. He was still living in Russell
County, Virginia and excerpts from a letter he wrote from Philadelphia January
23 , 1853 to a friend and classmate who also became a doctor (Sylvester Albert)
are rather interesting .
First he mentions the pleasure both had in the days
spent with Dr . Alderson, then he said he had become acquainted with seven of
Albert's former classmates at the University of Virginia, . . •• "Some real good
fellows --Smoot, Pearo, Norrell, and others". He also said the "Old Thomas
Gibson is dead, Nancy N•••• is married" • •• and on and on but one paragraph is
rather amusing when he writes " I have not visited the females any this winter,
seen no skating and but little sled riding--been to the theater but twice .
In
a word, have indulged but little in the luxeries of the city life." Poor
William!
Hilliam E. Frick and Ellen (nee Fulkerson) had the following children:

Kathern Vance Fr ick b 28 June 1857 d 18 April 1883 m 23 Novo 1882
Dr. H. P . Wood. No children
Albert E. Frick b 19 September 1859 d 12 Aug 1860 .
Eva Elizabeth Frick b 9 July 1861 d 26 December 1948.
Never married .
William Jacob Frick b 3 November 1863 d 1 April 1942 m April
1 904 Katherine Menet at Kansas City, Missouri .
She died 4 August
1943 at Kansas City, Missouri. No children .
Frank M. Frick b 27 January 1866 d July 1962 m 15 June 1900
Annabel Masterson who died 10 March 1963. No children.

�Annabel Masterson Frick was the last of thi s family , though by marriage ,
to live on t he " Hill " and she died 10 March 1963 intestate . There were only
two things from the past of this family which I so much wanted and had been
promised but did not get : th e two Bibles - t he one in English and the other
in German which I later realized may have had something about William Frick # 1.
I have been unable to learn what happened to them and I know of course
they were certainly of no v a lue to anyone except a member of t he Frick family .
How of t en and with regret , t hings of this kind occur !
In a little over one hundred years of being an important p art of Jackson
County and the final chapter of this family was written by a Mr . Hollis E. Dyer
of the bank who was made administrator of the estate of J . Annabel (Mas1:erson)
Frick and the branch ceased to exist excep t as shown on the headstones in the
Oak Grove Cemetery . I do trust there are others who still remember members of
this Frick family with k indness and much l ove - as do I . They were truly
Jackson County PIONEERS.

�WHAT'S IN A NA11E?

In medieval England every town and village had fairs, f es ti vals, pageants and
plays to which the young a.nd old .from miles around came to shop, visit and be entertained. Although some of the entertainers were local people, most were traveling or strolling players, the kind that Chaucer wrote about , going from one place
to another . They were paid by the local people in goods, services or coins. In
an otherwise hard and monotonous life these entertainments .,ere highlights of the
year.
It was during this time that people were taking hereditary su:rnames, so it
was inevitable that some would come from the type of entertainment a man provided.
From the musicians come Tabor, Taber and Tabour for one who played the tabor,
a small drum ; Tabo:rn(e) and Tabou:rn(e) a small tabor. Piper played the pipe,
Flauter the flute, Co:rnett the co:rnet , and Harmer and Ho:rnblower the trumpet.
The stringed instruments gave us Fidler, Crowther and Crowder for the man who
played the fiddle. Harper and Harp were harpists, while Rotter played the rote,
an old instrument similar to a harp. The saltery was played by the Sauter, Sawter, Salter and Salterer; the lute by the Luter, Lutter and Luterman; and the
Vieler played the viol.
Lance, Iancer, Hopper and T.ripp(e) were the dancers, who often performed with
the tumblers known as '!'umber , Sailer, Saylor and Seyler.
Crowds of all ages gathered around to listen to the professional storyteller
cast his spell. He was called Speller, Spellar, Spellman, Sayer, Spiller, Singer,
and Sanger .
The names for the minstrel were Arlott, Border and Boarder. The Chanter was
a magician and sometimes a singer. A favorite of the children was the Juggler,
who was called Wyse , Wyseman or Wise . The Jester, a merry man, and the Fole, who
played the fool , were enjoyed by all.
No fair or festival was complete without a trained bear to entertain the
crowd.
The mv-n er was a Berman.
The highlight of any festival or pageant was the play, and many su:rnames come
from the role a person played. The same man perfonned the same part year after
year. This was true of the travelling players as well as the local ones. It was
natural that he was identified with bis character, and so was known as King, Cardinal, Pope, Emperor , Leggett, I.aggett, Abbott, Royal, Knight, Squier, Prince, Rex ,
Lord, Cayzer, Noble, Duke, Herald, Heraud, Herolt, Adam, Moses, Issac, Pilatt ,
Pi~ot, Herod , Iazarus, Verity, Justice, Mercy, Joseph, Gabryell, Gabriel, Roy ,
Friar, Frear, Fryer, Monk, Priest, Priess, Press, Priester, Priestman, Prior, Dean
and others connected with the nobility and the church. The real nobles and churchmen did not need surnames for identification, because everyone already knew who
they were.
Others at the fairs and festivals were the Pieman or Pyeman, who sold all
kinds of pie, as in the old nursery rhyme when "Simple Simon met a pieman going to
the fair", and the Paxman or Packman who went from fair to fair selling small goods
from the pack on his back, a peddler.
Some of these names also have other definitions, but these are the mos t common ones.

JONATHAN J. DRYDEN
The following is from HISTORY 1886 OF LIV ING TON CO, MO. and was
contributed by Mr &amp; Mrs M Lee Brown, R 3 Box 104, Cleveland, OK
74020. {1981)
On the 13th of November, 1855, there died, at his home in Livingston county , Mo., a man who had been a resident of this county for
fifteen years, and whose name had stood from the beginning without
reproach -- Jonathan J. Dryden. So many of his children ha ve become prominently identified with the affairs of this county , that
it is but proper a sketch of his li fe should be inserted here.
Originally from Sullivan county, Tenn., he was born November 15,
1813. Jn 1838 he removed to Missouri, locating i n Daviess county.
Previous to that time he had served as a so,dier in the Florida
War in 1836 and 1837, from which he was honorably discharged , and
for his services he received a land warrant. After his settlement
i n Daviess county he took active and deep interest in its welfare ,
and, besides his connection with its agricultural affairs , was
engaged 1n school teaching and also became well known in an offical
capacity. Besides being assessor he was sheriff in 1854, his election to that office being by the largest majority ever bestowed
upon a candidate f or that position. His death occured while he
was discharging the duties of that offfce, and his loss was the
more keenly felt because it was known that a good and use fu l man
ha d departed. His wife was formerly Caroline L. Dryden, a native
of Washington county, Va •• and daughter of William and Sarah Dryden .
The latter's parents were Francis and Sarah Berry, Virginians by
birth. Mrs. Caroline Dryden was born in 1813, and 1n 1830 accompanied her father ' s family to Chariton county, Mo., moving thence
to Daviess county. The father was a farmer and blacksmith , and
after moving to Linn county, he remained there until his death 1n
1860; h1s wife survived until 1874, dying in the same county.
(The next paragraph has the 15 children of J J Dryden) .

COUNTY CLERK: After the county lieutenant, the most important officer in
the county in Colonial times was the county clerk, who was not only the
clerk , but whose house was the clerk ' s office, where the county records were
kept and who was probably the legal advi ser for the people in general at a
time when educated lawyers at least did not abound. The office also had a
salary ••••• and a great deal of power and importances •••••• the clerk was the
leading, or one of the leading men in the county"
Next in importance to
the clerk was the sheriff who was appointed by the Governor. From an article
in the "Virginia Magazine of His tory &amp; Biography ", Vol III, p 291. Jan 1896.

HORNBARGER FAMILY HIS'IDRY
Contributed by
Martha Dudley Bland

*

All of the previous notes on the Ho:rnbarger family mention that our
first ancestor in this country was Jacob Hornbarger, who l anded in Philadelphia in 1732 . "At the Court House of Philadelphia, October 11 , 1732
--- Forty-two Palatines , who with their families , making in all 150 persons , were imported in the ship ' Pleasant ' , James Morris , Master, from
Rotterdam, but last !rom Deal , as by clearance thence ... " ---- from the
Minutes of the Provincial Council , printed in Colonial Records , Vol.
III, p 465 . (also in ''Pennsylvania German Pioneers ", by Ralph B.
Strassburger , edited by William J . Hinke. Lists 27 A. B, &amp; C, p 93).
Jacob' s name was spelled both Ho:rnberger and Hornbarger on the lists ,
but he did not write any of them -- his X mark. On one of the lists
his age is given as 33. No wife is mentioned , but wives and children
were seldom mentioned by name , except for sons 16 or over .
A book called "Hornberger and Yingling " , subtitled "Jacob Hornberger and His Descendants " by Claude J. Rahn, found in the library of the
Historical Society of Philadelphia took this Jacob and gave him an entirely different wife (Maria Barbara) from our Jacob in Virginia (Elizabeth), and a completely different line of descendants , most of whom
were in Pennsylvan ia. According to Rahn, Jacob had only one child
(grown to adulthood), a son named Carl (later Charles) . Also , according to Rahn, Jacob came to America to join two brothers already here,
Hans Bartel and Johan Carl and they all lived in Pennsylvania . The two
brothers had children, and at least one of them had a son named Jacob .
It was always a puzzle that Jacob Hornbarger , age 33 in 1732 , was in
Augusta County , Virginia in the 1760s , and was living in Montgomery
County, Va ., in 1804, the latest date mentioned in records . The Jacob
in Virginia could be a descendant of one of the Hornbargers mentioned
above, perhaps a son , grandson or nephew , but so far , no link has been
found.
1he first mention of Jacob in Virginia, is in Augusta Co . in 1766.
(All referrences to Hornbarger, Hornberger, Hornberry , Hornberrier, etc.,
are given on a separate page of thi s history -- notes from "Chronicles
of 1he Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia" by Lyman Chalkley. ) J acob
took the loyalty oath June 20 , 1769 , i n order to obtain land (Chalkley,
Vol. I, p 156). There are several references in the deed books to Jacob .
In 1787, Jacob bought land in Montgomery County on Crab Creek from Jacob
Smelser.
I t is possible, even probable , that 'Jacob Hornberrier ' of Augusta
County is our ancestor, it is definite that Jacob Hornbarger of Montgomery County i s. 1here is a direct line of d escent through his indentures of land to sons Jacob Jr. and Peter, and Peter' s and IB.niel's
wills . No record has been found of the birth of Jacob ' s children or ,
indeed, of his marriage. The name of Elizabeth is found on the Augusta
County deeds as well as in Montgomery County records, which leads one
to believe that it is the same Jacob who had ' wife Elizabeth' ; but then
both his sons married Elizabeths, too, so the name i s too common in the
family to rely upon it as conclusive evidence that the Jacobs are one
and the same.

Jacob deeded land to son Jacob Jr . in 1793 (Montgomery County Will Book
B, pps. 92 and 98) and to son Peter in 1796 (Will Book B, p 216) .
After the indenture of land to Peter , Jacob sued Peter, accusing him of
not living up to the terms of the indenture. 'Ihis took place in 1804,
and the records are in the Court House at Staunton , Augusta Co ., Va.
This was the court for the Western Dtstrict of Virginia . The papers
consist of letters from both Peter and Jacob, Sr, to the judge -- the
pag e with Jacob ' s signature was not in the file. There are depositions
from witnesses for both sides. It would seem from reading the papers
that Jacob, Jr ., was not happy with the div i sion of property, and was
stirring up trouble between his father and Peter. The papers were not
in go od shape to try to make copies , although one was made of Peter ' s
answer to the s uit and a letter £rorn Peter to his father, Jacob, Sr.
The dispos ition of the case was not found.
The Hornbargers owned land in Montgomery , Floyd and Bland counties.
Most of the land in Montgome ry County was in the area called "Belmont",
in the vicinity of the little community of Vicker, along Crab Creek,
between Vicker and Christiansburg , the county seat . Where the origi nal
'home place ' was , is not certain; Peter left his 'home place' to his
daughter , Catherine , who had married Samuel Gilmore ; but whether this
was Jacob ' s home farm , has not been ascertained .
Jacob Hornbarger, Sr . and his wife , Elizabeth had at least four
children: Jacob , Jr , who married Elizabeth Stapleton; Peter, who married Betsy Smith; Betsy , who married Michael Smith ; and Nancy, who married George Taylor . All these marriages are recorded in "A Brief of
Wills and Marriages in Montgomery &amp; Fincastle Counties, Va., 17JJ-18J1",
by Anne L. Worrell. Jacob Hornbarger was s urety for Peter and Nancy.
Jacob a11d wife Elizabeth are buried in the Vicker area, on what
was called the Margaret Taylor place , but the graves are unmarked. One
of the descendants still living in the area , says the old cemetery is
up on the hill north of the old railroad station.
Jacob , Jr. was given the l and which is now in Floyd County (on
Little River?) , and also some land on Crab Creek in Montgomery County.
Jacob, Jr . and Elizabeth Stapleton Hornbarger had at least one son,
George , who is mentioned in his uncle Peter's will; he is also mentioned
in the U.S. Census £or Montgomery and Floyd counties. (18JO Census gives
four daughters for George . ) There i s also a Philip 'Hornbarriger' mentioned along with Jacob 'Hornbarriger ' in the militia records for Montgomery Co ., but this is the only place that 'Philip' is mentioned, and
it is possible that the name was copied wrong, and that it should be
' Peter' . There is a marriage record for a Nancy Hornbarger, who married
George Carrell, 4 January 1836 in Montgomery County. She may be a
daughter of Jacob , Jr., or possibly of George. The original marriage
records has not been examined to see if more details are given there .
Peter Hornbarger (signature on will is Hornbarger ) married Betsy
Smith , the daughter 0£ Dr. William Jacob Smith, a Tory, who was the
first in Montgomery County to be granted amnesty after the Revolution.
According to Earl Hon1barger, who did some research in the 1950s, he
was tried by Charles Lynch of 'Lynch Law ' :fame, and freed because he

�had been in this country only six months when the war broke out, and
'because of his knowledge of Physic'. which does not exactly agree with
the 1850 census , which gives his daughter's birthplace as 'Virginia ',
and she was born in 1770 or 1771. Dr. Smith died in 1819 , "aged 75,
and the father of my wife." References to Dr. Smith 's trial as a Tory
traitor are recorded in Montgomery County Court House at Christiarlsburg.
Trials were held at Michael Price's fort , about 1782 , and many victims
of the trials (not as lucky as Dr. Smith) , were buried nearby. Site of
some of the graves were on the farm owned by William Taylor Price , who
married Margaret Hawley , daughter of Elizabeth Hornbarger and Crockett
Hawley , great granddaughter of Peter and Betsy Smith Hornbarger. Dean
H. L. Price says in his "Outlines", that his grandmother , Elizabeth
Hawley, is authority for the statement that her grandmother, Betsy Smith
Hornbarger, remained a staunch Jeffersonian Democrat until her dyin g day ,
because of the treatment of her father by the Federal party during and
after the Revolution . Dean Price also says that Charles Lynch was the
Judge of the Tory trials.
Peter Hornbarger was a powerful man , seldom met his match physically. Montgomery County records show that he took prominent part in
brawls at the county seat in Christiansburg . He ran a large farm and
drove wagons with supplies to Lynchburg, Bristol and the Cumberland Gap .
He was a bitter enemy of his son - in-~aw , 'old man ' Sammy Gilmore, and
in his will , left the home farm to his daughter , Catherine , wife of
Sammy, with the provision that Sammy was to have nothing to do with it ,
and after her death, the place was to be sold at auction. Whether
Sammy bought the place at auction , or had another place , at any rate ,
according to family records , Peter and Betsy are buried on ' Samuel Gilmore' s place'. Linkous , author of "Twelve Stones for Belmont" , says
the home place later belonged to Jack Charlton ; later still to a family
of Elliotts.
Peter and Betsy had six children , of whom we have records -- five
daughters and one son: 1. Peggy married William Vickers ; 2 . Nancy married William Simpson ; J. Elizabeth married Jacob Harless ; 4 . Mary
(Polly) married Henry Harmon; 5 , Catherine married Samuel Gilmore ; 6.
Ianiel married Nancy Walters. These marriage records are also in ''A
Brief of Will and Marriages of Montgomery County, etc" (For dates and
descendants, see charts . )
Ia.niel lived near Vicker, on the road into the little community
from Christiansburg. (Rte. 159, off Rte 114, which turns off U. S. 460,
just north of Christiansburg. Rte 114 runs from U. S . 460 to U. S . 11 ,
past the Rad.ford Arsenal, and 159 makes a loop off 114, goes down into
Vicker and returns to 114.) IB.niel' s house is still lived in , but not
by Hornbargers. Wilfred Hornbarger, great grandson of D3.niel , lives in
a small place next to the old house, and several other descendants live
close by. On the hill behind the house is the small, overgrown family
cemetery where I.B.niel and Nancy and other family members are buriea.
D:l.niel married Nancy Walters, daughter of John and Mary Kirby
Walers. They had eight children: 1. Elizabeth married Crockett Hawley ;
2 . Nancy married Paul James; J. Margaret (Peg ) married William Yingling,

Va .; 7 , Ia.niel L. marri ed Maria Loui se Catherine S. Hannon of Alleghany
Co. , Va . , an aunt of Mary C. Evans ; 8. Hiram T. married Sarah (Sallie)
Jane Lucas .
The four sons of Ia.niel and Nancy were in the Confederate Army --Co. C, 54th Va . Infantry . At least two of the sons became ill with
typhoid fever in Tennessee , and funiel went to bring them home ; Peter
and Ia.niel L. died , and funiel, Nancy and several grandchildren also
died of the fever.
r:aniel left his home farm to Hiram, who was to provide for his unmarried sisters ; they were to get their share of the estate when they
married . William Parker (called Parker) inherited land in Bland County,
and lived there after the war , raising a large family . Their sister,
Patsy never married; she was badly scarred by smallpox , caught from a
Confederate soldier who stopped by the farm and used the wash basin
he was on his way home after the war was over. William Trigg (Bob)
Hornbarger also had smallpox , but was not badly marked; he was only
about three years old at the time . Later, he nursed victims of a smallpox epidemic in Clifton Forge , Va , , as he was immune to the disease.

=============================~===========:============:===- -~~

THE LAS T WORD : Wills may be an important source of genealogical information; contested wills can be particularly useful. All interested parties may appear in the
suit , including the husband ' s of female heirs . Wills may specifically state how
people are related , may be available for an ancestor at a time when few other
records were maintained, give residences or clues to residences, lead to other records such as land records , religious affiliation and thus church records, military records , date of death. Executors and other signing as witnesses may be
rel atives ; searching records concerning them may lead to information, including
the family bible of the deceased . However, care must be taken when securing relationships from wills . A man may have been married more than once; a wife named
in t he will may not be the mother of the children. (above information from Dr.
Card Weatherbee , FGS Newsletter) ''Genealogy Digest " , Vol 16 , #3 , 1985, p 37.
Note: Children may not be mentioned in the will, because they had already received
their share of estate. The phrase "my now wife" probable meant that the husband
had been married before. In a contested case, if the heirs did not all live in the
area, a notice had to be placed in several newspapers about the coming case with
the names of all persons involved.

COMPTON CEMETERY
Montgomery County , Virginia, going south on Rt 11, just before reaching Elliston,
on the right side of the road there is a store building that is a 'flea market',
Than a trailer court - either one of the next two drive ways will take you 'close'
to the cemetery. You must walk through a pasture to reach the cemetery which
is better than halfway ·up the hill. Actually there are two cemeteries . One ,
we were told by Mr. Richard Weaver, has only a baby of the Shepherd family buried
there. Frank Shephard's wife was moved to the Shawsville cemetery.
There is one double stone in the Compton cemetery and what appears to be 2
children graves and 2 adult graves marked by field stones.

(comments by editor : Much of the material in this article is repetitious , but
when you go to court records, this is what you see and , if read carefully , a wealth
of material . #1 gives the names of the heirs of Reubin Roberts and the man one
his daughters married , location of land that he owned, that he died without a
will . Questions that arise: Did he live in Tennessee? In Monroe County? #2.
We find that Reubin died before 1804 - his daughter , Elizabeth , sold her share
of the land . #7 Frances Roberts , Wm &amp; Sally Burgess , and Jamima Roberts were
living in this commonwealth - #9 states that they are not residents of this state .
Also you know that you will check the Montgomery and Giles Co records . Now what
did I miss?)

Dear Fellow Genealogists:
As the weather changes and the autumn leaves fall, we tend
to reflect on the activities of the year.
The Southwestern
Virginia Genealogical Society has been busy this year providing
activities and services for those who have interest in research
in the southwestern section of Virginia.

Among our special projects this year, we provided two
excellent workshops - one in the spring on tracing German
ancestry and recently one on tracing Maryland roots.
Mary Meyer , a nationally known genealogist and authority on
Maryland genealogy, presented an excel l ent workshop at the Hotel
Roanoke on Saturday, October 10. Mrs. Meyer's first presentation
on the settlement of Maryland gave valuable insight into
immigration patterns and clusters of settlement in Maryland.
She
then talked about the various research centers in Maryland and
how best to use their resources .
Mrs. Meyer's third lecture was
on migration patterns.
She talked about traditional migration
patterns in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia as well as noting
many exceptions to these patte r ns . Throughout her presentations,
Mrs. Meyer talke d abo ut her bibliography and referenced a number
of va luable so urces.
Although attendance was not as large as in
o ur past workshops , the participants were enthusiastic about the
activities of the day.
The eKecutive board would like to have suggestions from the
membership concerning what we might plan in the future in
workshops, tours and programs.
Your suggestions wi 11 help us as
we try to provide interesting and informative activities.

�This art icl e was sent to us by Mrs. Glenn N. Turnell as it appeared in
Volume IV , Number 2 (1983-1984) of The Pioneer Wagon, a quarterly publication of the Jackson County Genealogical Society of Independence, MO.

THE BORDEN and BEVERLEY PATENTS of
ORANGE and AUGUSTA COUNTIES, VA.
By :
Mr . &amp; Mrs . Halter G. Turnell
A nwnber of years ago the Southern California Genealogical Society
advised the members that two very interesting maps could be obtained for $1.00
each by writing to a Mr . J . R. Hildebrand (whose address is now unknown) regarding the BEVERLEY PATENT, a map drawn and compiled by him in 1954 and a
"Map showing 92,100 acre grant for BENJAMIN BORDEN lying and being on the
West side of the Blue Ridge in the County of Augusta" which he presumably
also drew but did not so state nor is his name shown anyplace .
After having had these maps for many years we think this might be a
good time to try and break down the information shown on both of them so that
they may be of a little more value to the researcher than, what is now, a
jumble of names and lines on two large sheets of paper . We will deal with
these Patents as two separate entities, but it should be kept in mind that
both covered inunense areas of land , which today would be in several counties.
The real purpose of this article is to list in alphabetical order the
various names, dates and acreage of the later owners of small patents in
these vast areas . We also wish it were possible to reduce the sheets in size
so that the approximate locations could be shown, which might help in deciding
what present county or counties the land might be located in, but if this were
done to fit a page in this book, much would be of little value as the plot
size would be so small it would be almost unreadable, therefore dates may be
the only way of pinpointing a probable location of an ancestor. We hope you
find one or more lost names in these hundreds listed!
hie will start first with the BENJAMIN BORDEN Grant dated November 6,
1739 shown as being the Patent Book 18 , Page 360 (in Richmond, Va.) and give
a little of the information we think is rather interesting, but will omit
all the various trees such as red oaks, hickories, white oaks, sugar trees
and on and on, used as boundary points ; the poles and poles (which were used
as distances); the rivers and branches and all such which made up land grants,
even of small areas , of those early dates, and give some of the other details
before listing those we know received plots of land - some large and some
small - and most issued by Benjamin Borden, Sr .
" GEORGE II BY THE GRACE OF GOD OF GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE AND IRELAND ,
KING, DEFENDER OF THE FAITH, ETC .
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, GREETING
Know Ye that for divers good causes and considerations, but more especially
in consideration that Benjamin Borden, late of the Province of East Jersey ,
now of the County of Orange, in Virginia hath lately caused to be imported
and settle d on the land herein after mentioned one family for every 1,000
acres, we h ave given, granted and confirmed and by these presents for us ,

�our heirs and successors do give , grant and confirm unto the sa id Denjarnin
and to his heirs and assigns forever , one certain tract or parcel of land,
containing 92 , 100 acres , situate ly i ng a n d be ing on t he West side of the Blue
Ridge in the County of Augusta and on the North and Northeast Branches of James
River , between the Blue Ridge and the North Mountain , and bounded as followeth
(~o wit) :
BEGINNING - At thr ee hic kories and . •• . etc . . • etc to the beg i nning ,
with all woods , underwoods , swamps , marshes, low grounds , meadows , feedings ,
and his due share of all veins , mines •• •• • In Witness whereof we have caused
these our l etter s of patent t o be made .
Wi tness our trusty and well beloved William Gooch, Esquire • • •. e tc .• ••. the
Sixth day of November One Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty Nine , in the
Thir t eenth Year of our Reign .
(Signed - 1HLLIAM GOOCH . ) ''
There is a notation on this map that the grants listed were from
Benjamin Borden, Sr . but ther e were many vacant areas shown , some of which
were later sold by his heirs . Also there were questions regardin g some of the
Deed s , stating they overlapped .
Beginning with the alphabetical names of the
first part will cover those which are shown on the Borden Patent and the second
part will give the names in t he Beverley Patent .
There is no actual legal description of the Beverley Patent , such as
that shown on the Borden Patent which gives the trees , rivers , branches , po l es
and so forth but it does indicate that it abuts the oth er in a number of spots
and may be what caused the difficulty later in what was called " overlapped
deeds" .
Following will be quo ted from the Map :

118,491 Acres . THE MANOR OF BEVERLEY PATENT _ Lying and being
in the COUNTY OF ORANGE between the Great Mountains , on the River
Sherando - August 12 , 1736 - Signed by WILLIAM GOOCH, ESQ. , Lieut .
Gov . - September 6, 1736 to :
WILLIAM BEVERLEY, of the County of Essex , Gent l eman .
SIR JOHN RANDOLPH, of the Town of Williamsburgh , Kn i ght.
RICHARD RANDOLPH , of the County of Henrico , Gentleman .
JOHN ROBINSON, of the County of King and Queen , Gentl eman .
UNDER GEORGE II , of ENGLAND .
(Note: Beverley acquired the Rights of the other Patentees September 1 7, 1736 . )
At the bottom of the Map are the following notations with no further references ,

+===============================================================================
GENEALOGY HINTS : One of the first things that I would suggest for anyone starting
on genealogy is to read a good book (several) on genealogy. The prices range
from a few dollars to $40, 00. There are paperback editions - eg: "Searching For
Your Ancestors " by Gilbert H Doane and"How to Trace Your Family Tree" by American
Genealogical Research Institute Staff - are inexpensive, Many books have been
published on "How To " for under $10. 00 - some are on a special research problem.
I have one one(which I bought from the Mormon Church)"Building an American
Pedigree " by Norman E Wright, published 1974 - the price was reasonable . Two
other books which are very good - "The Researcher ' s Guide to American Genealogy 11
by Val D Greenwood (under $20. 00) and "The Source"- A Guidebook of American Genealogy " edited by Arlene Eakle &amp; Johni Cerny ( $39. 95). Each book will give you an
idea on where to look or a new approach to your problem. No one book can completely cover a subject.

RICHMOND. VIRGINIA 23221

September 21, 1987
Dear Member of the Virginia Genealogical Society,
By now you may have heard of the closing of the building housing the Virginia

State Library and Archives on August 18. At present the state is awaiting
the results of tests to determine whether or not the structure is safe to
reopen because of problems such as asbestos, mold and fungus . Work has been
done according to the newspapers, to upgrade the electrical system , the
fail~re of which prompted the closing. There are no publically announced
dates for reopening at this time .
The Virginia State Library an~ Archiv~s :e~resents the ~argest single concentration of genealogical material on Virginia . The closing of this major
facility, while obviously necessary , is of great concern to all genealogists
in Virginia and to those around the country with Virginia ancestors .
The
sad condition into which this building has been allowed to deteriorate is
illustrative of the over-all lack of attention by the state government and
the General Assembly in particular, to the State Library for some time . The
present building is fifty years old and has out - grown its usefulness as the
secure storehouse for Virginia 1 s historical , literary, and archival treasures .
A new General Assembly convenes in January for the long session and presentation of the governor 1 s biennial budget . Now is the time for each member
of the Virginia Genealogical Society who is a resident of Virginia to write
to Governor Baliles and to their state senator and delegate .
I have already
written to the governor and to all members of the Senate and House finance
and appropriation committees . Funding for the State Library must be increased.
Each letter to these state offic i als should be concise .
It shou ld brief l y
state your concern that the l i brary is closed and , more importantly, that
you strongly urge the gove r nor and Gen eral Assembly to provide more funding
to the Virginia State Library and Archives to insure proper and improved
preservation and processing of archival materials and proper a n d i mproved
services to the public. You might wish to add that if the present buildin g
is determined to be unsafe for continued use, that an immediate move of the
libr ary and archives be made to secure, safe quarters where the public will
have access and parking . We do not want to see a similar situation develop
in Virginia as in Maine where the State Library has been c l osed for similar
reasons since April 1986! Even if the present building is reopened, you
should urge state off icials to take immediate steps towards the planning
and construction of a new, modern and larger State Library building with
parking. A new building will take years to achieve but a start mus t be
made soon.
Your local public library will be able to p r ovide you with the names of your
state senator and delegate. The governor 1 s address is : The Honorable Gerald
L.Baliles , Office of the Governor, Richmond, VA 23219 . For years the State
Library has helped genealogists; now is the time for us to reciprocate .
Please write soon.
Sincere l y,

~~ . ~
Eric G. Grundset
President , Virginia

Dear Mrs. Fowler,
I am coordinating an effort to offer to interested persons pub 1 i cat i ans pertaining
to the history of southwest Virginia. This effort re presents a first time effort
to bring to readers important and cri ti ca 1 researc h done as degree re 1 a ted research
or independent research by competent writers. We a re not doing this as a company
related function, but simply, and honestly to crea t e a market for riters and historians
who normally would find the task overwhelming and discouraging.
To this end , I am asking that you provide a brief ins ert in your organization's
newsletter (Southwest Geneaological Association) reques ting interested readers
t o send thei r name and address to me at the university . In turn I will notify them
of materials which appear of interest and a price. At their descretion, they can
order any given pub 1i ca ti on. Fo 11 owing sufficient numbers of orders, we wi 11 pub 1 i sh
and ship. We have ascertained that a minimum of 500 copies should be published if
we are to offer the writers and historians a financial incen t i ve to submit.
I hope you find this idea useful, and that you are willing to share this with your
impo rtant readership. As we build momentum, the responsibility for this "press" will
be handed over to a viable organization. My ultimate goal is to create a University
Pr ess for southwestern Vi rgi ni a history and re 1ated subjects. Sufficient strength
wi 11 create graduate student funding and co 11 ege prestige.
I awa i t your reply.
ctfully submitted,

June 23, 1987

The Place Namers
T he little known agmcy that tried to make
Pittshurgh drop its "h" has had successes too

by Vernon Pizer

(Editor's note: This article appeared in the Jan 1980 issue of the The American
Legion magazine , and they have given us permission to reprint the article and
the art work . At first we throught that we would omit some of the article but
on rereading it , we could not decide just what to omit - so here is the article
in full. Our thanks to the American Legion magazine.)
Not so long ago a group of federal officials assembled around a conference table
in Washington and literally made a mountain out of a mole hill. This happened at
a regular meeting of the Domestic Names Committee of the US Board on Geographic
Names and one of the agenda items was a request from the town of Mole Hill, WV,
that it be renamed Mountain. The Committee considered the matter and sanctioned
the change.
But if there are moments of lightness in BGN proceedings, it is not a fun-and-games
operation . The Board is the arbiter of the nation's nearly four million placenames and of the federally-accepted version of the uncounted millions of foreign
names, including the labels pinned on topographic features on seabeds and on extraterrestrial bodies. With a mandate extending from the smallest crossroads hamlet
to the far side of distant planets, its decisions affect legal , political, economic , academic, and even military matters.
At the outbreak of World War II, when the US urgently needed worldwide maps with
standardized place-names to forestall confusion among its own forces and between
itself and its allies -- a monumental undertaking complicated by the requirement
for devising ways to render in the Roman alphabet such non-Roman systems as Japanese, Arabic, Chinese and Russian -- it was BGN that leaped into the breach.
VS1',m!a Appala.Ch1an Notes

�Remarkably, BGN has achieved the ultimate state of grace that zealots of economy
It has no staff, no budget and no facilities of its
own , at least in a technical sense . It exists entirely on n o-fa t-on-the-bone handouts from other federal agencies . The Board ' s operations are directed by Dr. Richard R Randall , who also serves as geographer of the Defense Mapping agency , ass isted
by a staff of 27 who are carried on Department of Defense and Department of Interior
rolls. They work out of a handful of offices scrounged from the US Naval Observatory and from the US Geological Survey .
in government dream about .

It is entirely fitting that the Board should be unique a mon g go vernment agencies
-- it was created to cope with a unique situation .
It s temmed from the long-ago
day in 151J when Ponce de Leon made landfall off a peninsula in the New world and
dubbed it Florida, the oldest geographic name of Eu ropean origin still in use in
the nation , "Ponce de Leon started the country ofJ' 01 1 :i. na min g jag that never ran
out os steam , '' Dick Randall observes .
"Few who .fo1 I owerl i 11 l1ic. rootsteps were
immune to the bite of the place-name bug. "

Explorers , settlers , soldiers , woodsmen , all showered the I'ac:e or the land with
whatever geographic labels struck their fancy .
Take, for instance , the Spanish explorers in what would become Colorado , who named
a river El Rio de las Animas Perdidas en Purgatorio , "the river of souls lost in
purgatory, ''because many of their party were slain there by Comanches ,
French trappers who followed the Spaniards truncated the lon g , storytelling name and gave it
a French accent by recasting it as Purgatoire . En glish-speaking settlers altered
it once more , making it more comfortable on Anglo-Saxon tongues by transmuting it
to Picketwire .
Or consider the place in Massachusetts that the Indians called Shamut .
When the
white men arrived they ignored Shamut and adopted Trimountain in its stead , but
only 10 years later they dropped Trimountai n and replaced i t with Boston ,
To the
south was a Connecti cut s ite that Indians called Quinnipiac after an adjacent river ,
but Dutch surveyors laying out a town there chose a new name , Rodenberghen .
When
the English dis placed the Dutch they erased Rodenberghen :from the map , restoring
Q.uinnipiac. A s hort time lat er they had second thoughts and rel abeled the place
New Haven .

After the westward expans ion began in earnest , place-naming went from fever to epidemic, often with bizarre consequences. Settlers putting down t heir roots at the
mouth of the Licking River in Ohio christened the place Columbia but almost at
once a scholar among them engineered a switch to a new name he co ined .
His linguistic invention started with L for Licking River ; then added "os ", Greek for
"mouth"; •anti, " Latin for "opposite "; and ' ville ', French for "city "; ending up
with Losanti ville -- " city opposite the mouth of the Licking River , "
Two years
later, General Arthur St . Clair, governor of the Northwest Territory and devoted
member of the patriotic Society of the Cincinnati , arriv ed for an official inspection . His first \.fords were , "Tu.mn i t, Losantiville is a terrible name .
Change
it to Cincinnati."
If St Clair was forthright , Archibald Yell was devious ,
Yell , running for Congress
from Shawneetown, Ark , was bei ng pressed by a local rival for the same seat .
Theorizing that if he could get Shawneetown to rename itself for him the resulti ng publicity . would translate into votes, Yell slipped $50 to some g o-betweens to promote
the switch. The ploy worked and Shawneetown became Yellsville.
It would be nice
to say that tainted politics never succeed, but the truth is that Archibald Yell
of Yellsville went to the nation ' s capital .
Slowly it began to dawn on government officials that the nation ' s haphazard , freewheeling approach to place-naming was tripping it up .
So many p laces h ad dubbed
themselves Lafayette to honor the Revolutionary hero that mail , g oods and travelers
were forever ending up in the wrong one. Ensared in the tangle, harried postal
Vtrallrta AJ:wai.:a.:}. ~:.::.:-~ 1-!otr-.i

�authorities cried ou t , "Enought : No more I.af'ayettes :" This was a challenge many
could not resist -- there was an outpouring of such variants as I.afayette Hill,
Iafayette Springs , Fayette , Fayette City and Fayetteville,
Even if the Frenchman had stayed home there still would have been plenty of thorns
There were scores of Washingtons , Franklins , Manchesters , Newports, Alexandrias . Fifty places were named Cedar. Seventyf i ve were named Summit and 20 states had more than one Summit within their borders.
Indiana had t wo towns named Scipio only 50 miles from one another, Mount 'labor,
NC , and Mount 'labor , SC, were confused with one another so consistently that in
des peration the South Carolinians dropped their Mount and turned their 'labor backwards to become Reba t .
in the thicket of American place-names .

To make a bad situation worse, numerous places went by several different names
simultaneously . To begin with, a town would have the title adopted for it by its
municipal authorities but its post office might , and frequently did , bear a quite
different d esignation assigned by postal officials . Meanwhile , its railroa d station often bore yet another name bestowed by the railroad serving the town , and,
if there were a local military post or lighthouse , the departments responsible for
them might list their locations by place-names unique to them alone . Finally, if
the community served as a county seat , the county authorities often had their own
designation fo r the place , as in the case of the West Virginia town that county
officials i ns isted was Raleigh Court House, while the city fathers were adamant
in proclaiming that it was Beckley ,
Alarmed by the topsy-turvy situation , President Benjamin Harri son issued an executive directive in 1890 creating the US Board of Geographic Names to bring order
out of the chaos . It was that directive that established the Board ' s unique position as Washington bureauracy ' s scrounger , because in i t Harrison specified that
BGN "shall entail no expense on the Government. " He appointed 10 members to the
Board from other f ederal departments, instructing the parent bodies to continue
their salaries . He had not, of course , invented a way of creating a cost-free
agency , but by having others foot the bill he played a budgetary shell-game that
produced that illusion .
In its first year , BGN tackled two different tasks . First , it devised a set of
principles for the form and spelling of place-names. Second, it considered 2 ,000
cases in which places were identified by more than one name and decided which was
the proper des ignation .
The decision was usually accepted calmly enough because BGN tried, with reasonable
success, to select the name enjoying widest usuage and strongest public support.
If it ignored local wishes -- as it did when it chose Porto Rico over Puerto Rico
- - the cries of protest were i nstantaneous and loud. In the case of Porto Rico
the cries did not abate for nearly 50 years until Congress , taking the ma tter out
of the Board' s hands , passed a bill restoring the name to Puerto Rico. On the
whole, though , BGN 's efforts to hack clearings through the wild linguistic growth
usually went fai rly smoothly.
rt was a different story with the principles laid down for the place- name forms.
Nobody quarreled with the objectives : simplification and streamlining. It was
the way the goal was to be achieved that raised hackles . Most of the objections
focused on two BGN edi cts : that names ending in "burgh" drop their ' h ' to become
" burg" and that apostrophes be eliminated so that a place like Miller ' s lake woul d
become Mill ers Lake . Of the t wo, the ' h ' drew first blood,
There were at that time a half-dozen towns around the country that had styled themselves Pittsburgh in mimicry of the original in Pa. They groused for a. while and
then , concluding that res i s tance was futile , dropped their ' h 1 to become Pittsburg,
The Pennsylvanians were made of sterner stuff. It was not just pride of authorship,
but more because many of the early settlers were Scots. In fashion ing their muniVtr&amp;lnia A.ppwchll:.n 1~01.~.i

�cipal title they had given it a typically Scottish ending of 'burgh • to remind of
their heritage , If "burg" was unmistakably German -- as in Hamburg and brandenburg
-- and the Pennsylvanians balked at hiding their Scottish light under a German
bushel. So they dug in their heels and fought the BGN edict, backed by a vigorous
editorial campaign in the local press. Federal maps , documents and post offices
dropped the city's 'h ' but residents stubbornly continued to use it in all correspondence . Municipal leaders enlisted the aid of Pa. ' s congressmen to pressure
the Board to reverse its ruling , but it declined .
Both sides were adamant and the stand-off persisted year after year,
Not until
1932, in a report to President Hoover , did the Board wearily raise the white flag
of surrender, conceding that Pittsburgh was entitled to its 'h'.
The seemingly innocuous apostrophe was to become as troublesome for BGN as the ' h' .
At first it seemed that the public would agree docilely to relinquish its apostrophes. In one year alone -- 1894 - - postal authorities industriously pruned 1 , 665
apostrophes from post office names. Mapmakers , railroads, educators, editors and
publishers fell in line , snipping away at the grammatical mark .
'Ihe affected
places themselves , bowing to the inevitable, followed suit .
Except Martha ' s Vineyard, Mass.
The Vineyarders doted on their apostrophe . It had been theirs ever since 1642
when Capt. Bartholomew Gosnold discovered the island and named it for its lush
growth of will grapevines and for his daughter, Martha .
'Ihe Vineyarders refused
resolutely to relinquish their three-century-old a postrophe . Flaunting i t like
a battle flag, they counter-attacked through the press, through citizen lobbies
and through their ele~ted officials , It took a long time but ultimately , like the
Pittsburghers, they were victorious . By coincidence, it was in its 1932 report to
President Hoover -- the same one in which it tossed in the towel on the Pittsburgh
'h' -- that the Board announced its surrender on the Martha ' s Vineyard apostrophe .
With the files closed on those two nagging issues, the BGN staff breathed a collective sigh of relief , It was premature . A new storm broke out in the north.
Thompson's Point, VT, had been stripped of both its apostrophe and its ' s' , being
converted to simply Thompson Point . Never reconciled to the amputation, the residents now launched an offensive to recapture their missing linguistic parts ,
'Ihe
Board refused to lift its ban but the voices of protes t would not be silenced .
Finally, in 1964, BGN relented to the extent of restoring the ' s' while holding
fast to the apostrophe . Thompsons Point was only a half-victory that did not satisfy the Pointers : they continued to press their campaign . Four years later , the
Vt, legislature joined the fray officially by voting unanimous approval of Thompson's Pint, with the cherished curlicue firmly in place , as the town's authentic
name. The Board was unmoved by the action . 'Ihe matter is still unresolved , both
sides still entrenched on opposite flanks of the disputed little mark.
"I know it must make us sound like bureaucratic nincompoops , " Randall says ruefully,
"but there is good reason for our obstinacy, We ban apostrophes in place-names
because on a map they can be misread as topographic marks, causing confusion .
This
is especially true on nautical charts where an apostrophe is often mistaken as an
indication of rocks,"
The fact is that as the nation ' s arbiter of its place-names the Board frequently
finds itself in a damned-if-we- do-and- damned- if-we-don ' t dilemma .
Cape canaveral
demonstrates how it can wind up in a no-win situation .
In 1963, Pres . Lyndon Johnson asked BGN to redes ignate the Fla. cape as Cape Kennedy to honor his assassinated
predecessor in office. Complying with the White House request, the Board made the
change. But Canaveral was so firmly entrenched among Floridians that they refused
to go along with the switch. The issue was debated in the state legislature which
voted for retention of Canaveral as the authorized name for all except the portion
of the cape under federal control for operation of the space flight center. Later,
Vtr&amp;1D1&amp; AppeJ.a.ehian NoteA

�when Pres . Johnson wa s occupied with other problems , BGN quietly rescinded its order.
Involvement i n place-name disputes is no novelty to Dick Randall -- he was born
into one. At the time of his birth, Seattle was rent by a move to rename Mount
Rainier, its f a mous landmark, a proposal the Randalls opposed vigorously. "That
mountain was named for an ancestor of mine; in fact, my middle name is Rainier,"
he explains. "So I a m delighted that we balked the change."
One recent change t hat did go through brought Randall and his colleagues at BGN a
spage of good-natured ribbing, including coast-to-coast quips by Johnny Carson on
the 'Tonig ht' show. It grew out of the Board ' s laudable undertaking to eliminate
offensive or derogatory place-names, an effort that has erased such indignities
as Jap Mountain.
(BGN, however, achieved only cosmetic improvement with another
mountain; resistan ce to elimination of the earthy name of this outhouse- shaped rock
formation was so strong that the Board succeeded only in truncating it to S.H.
Mountain.) What drew the recent coast-to-coast chuckles was BGN's treatment of
an Oregon site noted for an establishment where the world's oldest profession was
plied. The Board altered the place-name from Whorehouse Meadow to Naughty Girl
Meadow.
But a current place-name i ssue is not generating chuckles for anyone . It arises
from an Alaska request to BGN to revert to Mount McKinley's orig inal Indian name,
Denali . Because the modern name of the continent ' s highest peak honors the Ohioborn 25th president , the Ohio Congressional delegation has risen in defense of its
native son. At present the controversy is swirling through the halls of Congress,
with both Alaska and Ohio pressing for support of their opposing points of view.
Hoping it will not be scorched by this political hot potato, the Board is maintain ing a discreetly low profile in the matter.
In an average month the Board renders some 100 decisions on domestic place- names
and those generating the heat of a Pittsburgh, a Canaveral or a McKinley are the
exception. That is fortunate because now BGN faces a challenge from abroad that
is taxing its lean resources -- Pinyin, the new system adopted this year by the
People's Republic of China for rendering Chinese names in the Roman alphabet. Pinyin confronts geographers with complexities on a par equal with those most of us
would face if suddenly we had to adopt the metric and Celsius systems in place of
our familiar units of measurement . In Pinyin, Peking. becomes Beijing, Canton becomes Guangzhou, Sinkiang becomes Xinjiang , and Tibet is Xizang. "It's the biggest
problem we've ever faced ," Randall exclaims. "We have to alter all our place-names
on China as the Chinese release the new Pinyin forms, We are working on the 18,000
they have released so far but the total will probably run over a million."
The arrival of Pinyin can bring no cheer to Vermont. Confronted by the enormity
of its Chinese challenge , the BGN is unlikely any time soon to reconsider the plea
for restoration of the Thompsons Point apostrophe .
(editor ' s note: My apologies to the author -- I abbreviated state names and used
apostrophes( ' ) to designate italic letters.)

Vl1'&amp;1Jlia Appa]JM&gt;h1an Notes

�JOHNSTON'S LETTERS
I recently read through one of the volumes of the "Draper Manuscripts " , which are
on microfilm. This manuscript collection includes letters writ ten to Lyman Copeland Draper, the great historian . The entire collection is indexed in the book
"Guide to the Draper Manuscripts " , by Josephine L Harper, 1983 .
The volume I read was from Series C, the Da.niel Boone Papers .
Some of the letters
were wri tten by Thomas Colley Johnston, of Abingdon , Va in 1884.
Mr Johnston was
the great-grandson of my ancestor , Thomas Colley (b ca 1740), who fought with Gen
William Campbell in the Battle of King ' s Mountain .... ... .. . . .
I only copied the pages of Mr. Johnston ' s letters t hat r e ferred to my Colley family,
The writing was Mr Johnston's original handwriting , and i t was not easy to read .
I transcribed the letters from the printed copies f r om the microi'i lm printer.
I ' ve
enclosed copies of the typed transcriptions , and thought you might be interested in
including all or part of them in a future iss ue of Van .....•... , .. , . . . . . .
Since Mr Johnston's letters were hard to read , I may have ma d e some errors in my
transcription. Some words were almost illegible , so I ' ve put a (?) where I was uncertain of the word . Also , I did not co:crect the spelling , so you wi l l find misspelled words . All of the underlined words were actually underlined in the letters,
either done so by Mr Johnston or perhaps Mr Draper. Mr Johnston referred to his
Colley ancestors by number ; however , when he writes of Thomas Colley , no , 2 (who
was in the Battle of King ' s Mountain) , I believe he actual l y mea nt no . J , and no .
3, homas b . 1770, should have been no . 4 . He got the numbers correct on the
first page , but then must have forgot what he wrot e . • .. . .. . . • . . .••••••
Sincerely , (Mrs) Susan M Jurban, 11109 Rossiter, Detroit, MI 48224.

(Mrs Jurban, 11109 Rossiter, Detroit, MI)
Excerpts from letter to Lyman Copeland Draper from Thomas C Johnston of Abingdon, Va.
Letter #31 dated August 7 , 1884 (letter regard·i ng John Broady)
He lived and died about 600 yds above my grandfather Elder Thos Colley, on the
North Fork Holston River, and about 1 J/4 m. NW of Saltville. When a child, many
a time Old John carried me up home , a back from my grandf ' s, - But here we enter
upon a historic vacancy in the biography of Gen Wm Campbell. But who were the
Colleys? By the side of great mental ( ?) me we have "the Colleys" as great physical
men. Tom. Colley, no. 1 in Wales, a powerful man, manager of an iron foundary born (about) 1682 . Tom. Colley (oldest child) no . 2 in 1710.
Tom . Colley eldest, no . 3 in Pittsylvania, Va, 1740
Tom . Colley eldest, no, 4 "
"
" 1770
Sarah Colley, my mother, born in 1798 -myself , first born - - in 1818 ; hence the name after my grandfather - Thos. Colley
Johnston - my grandfather died lJ Feb 1855 at near 85 - after 6J yrs ministering
in the baptist church of great remain here still: the church is now building a
monument over his grave at mouth of McHenry ' s Creek 2 1/8 m. NW of Saltville . Tom
Colley no . 2 at the age of 19 had the misfortune to kill a bully with his fist.
The man had often followed him and challenged him, for a trial of manhood. Colley
struck him but one, - and not then , until his father seeing the affair, walked up
and ordered him. He killed the man - "Stelseg'' - at the one lick. He hid out of
the way of sheriffs for several weeks - and then found his way to London; there
married a Huguenot woman and shiped at once for New York - found his way to near
the place Chatham . I saw his deed to two bodies of land, in that office in 1854.
- This Colley was 6 ft. 9 inches in height, and a giant every way - In being , his
son , Torn no . 2 built a cabin on Gen . Carnpbell ' s land, 250 yds to the right of the
road from "Pres ton 's Mill", on the river, This Torn was another powerful man. He
was a favorite of Gen . Wm Campbell - Where is his name on any of your records? My
grand Father , Tom Colley no. J, was 10 yrs old (nearly) at battle of King's Mt.
- remembered well the day his father left &amp; that of his return from this battle.
He was not with the footmen left - but actually in the fight .
On Sunday afternoon, (suggested to have been, Sunday 24th, Sept 1780) Campbell

came dashing thro ' the hollow east of the mill and down along the road (or "outlet")
to Colley 's cabin. This fact my grandfather well remembered. The last time I
ever saw him - Fall of 1854 - he gave me the account in full over again &amp; perhaps
again ?
His father took down a rifle from over the door, and sat in the door with it on
his lap as long as Campbell remained. He rode with him when he left a mile or two
on his way - Campbell then leaving in a gallop and Colley inrevirse for home. The
next week the old man went to Abingdon. When he returned he cam back from battle
of King's Mt. - Sir, this itself, this Colley connection is a volumn: I must resist - Please hand in this letter, I see I was wrong, but here I never knew the
Seeslin(?) co., is a perfect myster. (The buggy is here - for Shady again). Why
does Wm C Preston, say of Lee's, of Campbell ''at twilight"? The Shelbys - Isaac
most - were curious of Campbell. M:rs Todd gave me a mighty lecture one night,
against Gen Campbell - as a coward:
Yours truly -- Thos C Johnston
P . S. Please write Boone inquires to "James Colley" Sandlick, Buchanan Co. Va.
Old Dick Colley the father, was a great bear hunter - a romance within himself.

Letter #JJ, p 1-12, written by Thomas C Johnston,
Extraordianary, - King ' s Mountain - Campbell &amp; Shelby.
Abingdon, Va , , Aug 19, 1884
.MY Dear Friend, for such in return, I will call you - here I a m again , and, on
this morn (?) , with unusual patience , suborned to that mental poise which above
can enact us a t:rue diseration . There you are, before me, younder, on a special
shelf, are your books and memoirs, - below , in a speci al drawer, your letters. 0 1
could we but penetrate to the predetermination of this a lliance, s o happily adapted
to my own moral incentives, and so peculiarly abstracted from the influcious of
personal presence - that often despoiler of sympathy , - So often , indeed, of all
correct appreciatives : - My philosophy , sir is truly a s pecies of Fatalis m. I
wi ll not, therefore , compliment you - that no such is colorings as flattery may
be even supported to tint the pages of this letter, But I will say, that I @d1}.
reading nothing but yours, - that, .. yonder lies, under a two-week ' s dust, Boswell ' s
Life of Johnson and Johnson's journey to the Hebrides - and there they must lie ,
until are read and reread your King ' s Mt. Heroes &amp; of , to the bottom . You found
me at the first deeply involved with the work mentioned -- Last evening I was in
consultation until nearly midnight, with the widow of Walter Preston, the orator,
whose biography I have now been the fourth year , in composing.
This fact I must
give you as an egotism , with the purpose of a little more light. -About four years ago, I happened to drop the hint , that I was writing History of
Washington. I told Gov . Campbell , the fall before his death what Col . Campbell
had insisted on my doing, He coincided, - and took it upon himself to open out
hi s sc:rutvire(?), and write me down many notes , which he gave me, with an hour's
comment, But from whence the materials of the Abingdon literate , I have no information: - Jno. G. Ward, editor of the Virginian (Atto:rney at I.&lt; ,., ) : ::i.ys he was
talked to by one of those geniuses in pretense, and that he c o 1vici 1 h mself so
conclusively of an assumed authorship of a treater in whi c h "f '· 1n
rh ( ly igorant ", that he advised him first to get up his notes, a nd he wuu.lll a .. vi ~;e with him
about these before the history i tsself should be begun" , - This ended this newspaper variety in a display of youthful ardor, in the department of literancy &amp; are
in glory, on this especial subject : - And now, herefore , I do propose, it , wi th
the help of Heaven, I may be permitted to complete my History of Washington County,
to transmit it to "The Historical Society of Wisconsin"; and to your especial care.
Please consider my intention. I have just today, mentioned my intention to judge
Ward - who said, "In consideration of all this d---d matter of essay , "Do So ",' I
need, from these conclusions to run considerably divergent from my notes in store
for your direct information . - But there is a subject of extraordinary import
which I have at present under the ban of the Lisievert( ?) Scrutiny , and it must
out.
Please retain my arithmetic discent of the Tom Colleys*, - for here in are strange
revealments. I have told you, that Tom Colley no, 2 was a favorite of Gen . Wm.
Campbell's, That he settled him at the "Buffalo Lick" , and as Tom Coll ey no. J
remembered well, at age 10 yrs. of age , the day (as Sunday Sept 24, 1780?) on which
Gen Campbell dashed through the "Mill Gap" to the house , and here he sat in the
door with his rifle i n his lap during the General's s tay, and then rode with him
through the gap , The want of record of Calley ' s name was accounted for in two
ways, first, by the loss of muster rollss but, secondly , by old Dr. Tate , who him*Tom Colley no. 4, I strangely omited to you - my uncle who died in 1867, a
Baptist preacher, in Boone Co. Missouri,

self at King ' s Mt. , in this way - that the great physical power of Tom Colley and
his bulldog courage caused Campbell to retain him always close by his person as
and extraordinary in case of any sudden occurance that required the handling of
such a man.
That Tom. Colley was at King's Mt. he "well himself knew " , in the
fact that he saw him there: he stated also , that on the way over the mountains,
he often saw Colley and Campbell riding together, Hereby hangs the tale. - Incidentally , this same "old Dr. 'Tu.te " was with my mother the day before my birth; he
left at about sundown telling my grandfather that both mother and child would be
dead by morning : that I "could not be born ". His old negro, John Broady, was
there : My uncle John Colley (yet living at 84) was put upon a fleet sorrel mare
at old John Broady ' s urgent suggestion - proposing to go himself - and he was
started over Walker ' s Mt. for Granny Scott. It was a desperate night but way he
went ,
"Through thunder, lightning and in rain ": - The old woman mounted her "bay Bob"
and, astraddle, like a man - her bonnet hard tied under the chin - with a hickory
switch in hand, she led the way by the occassional flashed of the lightning coming in, at the end of this four-mile race, as old John still delights to tell,
several lengths ahead of the sor1dl mare , with all his efforts to keep up with her
bay Bob : I was born next morning , Sept 2d , 1818 , just about sun- up, at a weight
of less than five pounds? I have always doubted this last .fac • 'Tu.ke, however,
this egotism and a little further light . -Now, to the tale . The tory hung by Gen. Campbell at, or near the place called
Midway* was after the battle of King ' s Mt . I need not now give you the circumstances , I may only say, that Tom Colley no . 2 was with him in this affair. His
name was Prayter - a blacken ' d name , still deeper, by the circumstances of the
murder of Mrs Ben Caywood in 182J . This man , Prayter confessed to several murders
and robberies , and named Moses Shelby as his leader in many adventures, both before and after the battle of King ' s Mountain. And Tom Colley, no. 2 was living
in Russell County , the father of a second family , when the first slanders against
Gen . Campbell were issued , in regards to which he was greatly astonished - having
never before heard , as he would say "by Mortal man that Gen. William Campbell was
a coward" , and told that he had acted the coward at King's Mt . , and that such men
as Shelby and Sevi er had asserted the fact, his rage was so extraordinary, that he
acted like a lunatic - threatening to travel to Tennessee or Kentucky, to kill
both Sevier and Shelby : -It was after the hanging of Pray ter , that Colley proposed to Gen, C. a plan for
getti ng hold of Moses Shel by ; and i t was agreed if the thing could be accomplished
that is i f Shelby could be gotten into Virginia; they believed the evidence could
be obtained to try hi m by the civil laws and hang him. Moses Shelby - hence all
the Shelbys - got wind of this matter , - it was told among them, that Gen. Campbell
was determined to bring Moses to justice. Now these facts were told to Gen.
Francis Preston , by Elder Thomas Colley, after the death of his father, and also
after the publication of the slanders and their refutation by the Prestons.
Gen.
Preston impressed great regret he ·had not heard the matter sooner, - also that the
opportunity had passed of investigating, by living evidence, the character of Moses
Shelby. Sir, here is the key in my opinion, whi ch may best unlock the Shelby
Slander. - - --- Permit me to examine relation to what is written, that weak instrument for such a man as Issac Shelby - his Pamphlet. Does he not stand condemned,
in this instrument of some species of revenge? - Of a termined(?) prejudice(?) After having been in King's Mt. battle ground, and heard this matter of Campbell's
cowardice so elaborately discussed - over and over - pro &amp; con - at Yorkville I
went up to Gen. Campbell ' s house - he having sent .for me to consult me in regard
to trying Mrs. Campbell's portrait, there in a peculair state of idiocy - I spoke

of the Colley history of hanging Prayter. He told he had "once heard of Prayter's
being hung - the uncle of the supposed murderer of Mrs. Caywood (or Kaywood - Kaiwood - mostly pronounced Keewood*) and I Jmew that old Torn Colley, probably 50
yrs. of age at battle of King ' s Mt. was a right hand man to Gen . Campbell - and
we All might have know that Colley Jmew a great deal in explanation of the Slander,
- but he , in 1812 was not less than Eighty, and had lon g lived in the "Wilderness "
on "Grassy ", head waters of Sandy - stopping a moment, and s miling , he continued "~ bear and buck slayer, the happiest of men - with an overflowing l arder , and all
things else that mortal man should , in view of heaven, legally crave : "
Now , what
are we historians to do with these facts? ---- -But , Stop : - Old Colley , no . 2, the
last time Elder Torn (no. 3) went over to see him , on Sandy, told , in a large company at night around a log-heap f i re, this curious fact: - " I had just jerked up
a Br itish musket with a bay ' net on it, on the last pull up the hill, when General
Campbell dashed by me and stopt , - he said, "Colley are you s ho t ?" - No , by g---d:
I said. "I order you , Colley , yonder to the branch - tear up anything of mine or
Broady ' s you see to aid in tying up the wounds of the wounded younder.
I looked
round and went down the hill . Moses Shelby was there , cursing and s wearing at being shot. I jerked off of Broady ' s lap the General ' s wrapper coat, catching it by
each tail , I pulled it in two - old John swearing:
I pulled i t there into more
pieces: Aint this the coat old Isaac sed (?) General Campbell come up in, after
the fight , buttoned round him? D---- - hi s old lying tongue " : - He then rode up
and went into a rage about the Shelby ' s &amp; Seviers. - --- - - ---- See 2d . /P . 565th
page, your book "looked down the Mountain saw C. coat off - the trim he had put
himself in to fight the battle to ." Now , old John Broady did not move , why should
he? - whil e he "looked at him " - whom he saw instead of C. , i n his black bald- face
horse " : Great deliberation, all thi s , in the greatest heat of the battle : - But
how deliberate was Gen . C. ' s cowardice : "He had buttoned around him his light
colored coat ", and "about JO minutes after the battle was over, came down on foot ,
with three others, to where the prisioners were " . Then he had not been to the
bald- face horse to get the coat, now torn up ; else having sit on h i m, he had dis mounted, and thus deliberately , after the fight walked abou t 800 yds . to the place
of its conclusi on - and John Broady was somewhere else :
The flag was received by a Shelby ( ? ) : - Maj or Evan Shel b y , Isaac ' s brother. False, - except that this Ma.jar Evan Shelby may have taken in to his hands
at anytime, after it had been surrendered , - But I saac, the day after the battl e ,
about 8 o'clock, "was enjoying the war mth of the sun ", about ( 66 ) when " Camp bell
walked slowly towards him" coming close by his side, he seems to have whispered t o
Isaac, "with a smi le on his countenance" - a most ex traordinary maneu ver for Gen .
Campbell's countenance on such occasions : - thus expressing himsel f :
" Sir, I cannot account for my conduct in thi s latter part of the action " - the last thing ,
after such conduct, that Campbell would hav e sai d to any man - and i t was never
said to any but this
man , I saac Shelby: - In the succeeding two paragraphs page 567 - we have a specimen of both Isaac ' s vanity and his envy - at the bottom
of which was both hatred and prejudice . But I have special ly and specifically
marked this the concluding sentence: Of those c i r cumstances which relate to Col .
C. personaly, and which might have a tendency to diminish his reputation,!or to
those who were previously acquainted with him: I am sure that I may say , with perfe ct truth, that I have never spoken of them in a spirit of detraction. " This of
an extraordinary lecture for the governor of a State : - The " circurns tances " were
all personal; - and those which might have a tendency to admonish " h i s reputation ",
are just what he has spoken of, not onl y in confi dence , but to the whole world, as
just written. Also, "he could say " , with infin i te truth , that he had never spoken
of them in "spirt of Detraction." I f not in a s pirit of detraction, pray then, in
what spirit did he speak of them? Was it in a spi rit of commendation? In a spirit
of con ciliati on? or of recuse, or of pardon? for so extraordinary conduct , which

Gen. Campbell himself could not account for? In Jr, /P (p . 567) Isaac had almost
forgot that a s word had been voted him by N, C. , uptil the year 1810 he thought of
it , because he had learned , that the sword , by N. C. had been given to Wm C Preston,
that had been voted to Wm Campbell , and that an approaching war with Great Britain
had roused him to a recollection for a more useful purpose,' - '.Ihis "e l egant sword"
to Preston , for the services of Gen . Wm. Campbell in the same great battle in which
he was evidently , self-considered, the greatest hero most-deserving of Glory.
This was a c i rcumstance that Did produce some feelings of emul tion( ?) and "soliutude " - the softest words possible in his vocabulary of Envy a1.J Ambition: Hence
he wanted "equal jus tice " - equal glory , which had not yet been done in him: - So
he wrote his soliutude to Sevier, of equal neglect below the fame of Campbell, and
they demanded their Honors of the old North State, * ~ourth /P, "with perfect
truth , " explains his envy of the ''Honors conferred on the memory Gen . Campbell.
He actually takes the pen out of the hand of the imparti al historian , in a comparison of merits between himself and that hero : The expedition to King ' s Mt. "was
not set on foot by Gen. Campbell nor by Isaac and Sevier" , - and ; in another place,
Isaac takes the honor of planning it to Sevier: hence i s all the Honors, glory &amp;
fame due to Col . Isaac Shelby : - The paroled Phillips came over the Blue Ridge directly to Isaac Shelby. - "In a few days he went fifty or sixty miles to see
Seviere ." He , I saac Shelby , had received all the news - the desertion of Gates and the threats of Ferguson - and he put the thing on foot him - got Seviere, and
" that some address was necessary to induce Gen . Campbell to unite with him,"
Of
these facts he reminds N. Carolina" , and that Col. Campbell was not present in the
latter part of the action : " in this state of mind - tortured of sleepless nights
by envy of the ashes of the ashes of the dead - he "ventured to make some comparison of the services of Sevi ere and Himself with those of Col. Campbell." - As to
those men who ' verified" Shelby ' s statements , thei r act is not difficult, by human
nature, to be accounted for. Gen. Campbell was a severe man the most rigid of
disciplinarians - he, in very truth i ncurred the hatred of many men and officers,
in that expedition . " This fact" , old Tom Colley said, "was so plain to him, that
he advised Gen . Campbell to "keep a sharp eye on certain among them, who he had
his own eye. "
Colley also said , that at f i rst, all the tyranny - so called - with the tories,
was
(?) to the charge of Gen . Campbell(?) Col Matthew Willoughby, who died
withi n my recollection, lived just two- and-a hal f miles south of Abingdon - use
to speak of Shel bys as •haters " of Gen Campbell. - Where he lived is call ed the
"Willoughby Place." to this day. Nathan i el Dryden, who was killed at King's Mt.,
lived four miles further south , at "Dr:vden ' s Ford.'' I saw his "Inventory" today

QUA RAN TINED:

The inhabitants of this place have been stricken with GENEALOGY FEVER, a
deadly and infectious disease .
SYMPTOMS : Notepapers stuffed in pockets and files; heart palpitations
at the sight of gravestones and old trunks fil led with letters; bloodshot
eyes from excessive microfilm exposure; erratic speech patterns punctuated
with pilgrims and princes; cold sweat upon the arrival of the daily mail.
INCURABLE:
contributed by Rev Richard Buckingham.

==----============================================================================
CORRECTION : Vol XI, #2 , p 65, May 1987 . Pate cemetery stops at Lester I. Pate.
The second cemetery , Hartman Cemetery , starts with the name George Stamback.

,,.,.,,.,.*=========================================================================·=
WHAT A NAME MIGHT MEAN? A person ' s title in colonial days often had a different
meaning than titles used today. Stepmothers were sometimes called mothers-inlaw . Cousins could be relatives of any type - - sometimes even friends .
Jr.
writ ten after a name did not necessarily mean a name the same as his father -- it
might be an uncle or a cousin .
Housekeeper once meant property owner and could
~e used for a male as well as a female,
Inmate as found in Pennsylvania arch~ ves _ref~rs to a man living in the home of another person, not necessarily in an
institution,
Freeman meant a young man, not yet married.
Domestic once
meant housewife, not necessarily the servant.
Mister was a title used only
for men of wealth and/or education.
A retired man might be listed as a gentleman. (abstracted from "The Review of' DuPage Co, Ill, Genealogical Society,''
Lombard, Ill, Feb-Mar 1984. "Genealogy Digest", Vol 16 #1 Winter 1985, p 14.

PtESEARCH TIP: Here is an idea used by a member of the Minnesota Genealogical Society: When writing to people listed in phone books that have the same name you
are researching, and you want to know if they have any information, send them a
letter outlining the information you need, and include a POSTCARD with this "form":
_ _ _Yes, I a m related to the (name) family but I cannot provide you with any
genealogical information. I suggest you contact :
_ _ Yes, I am related to the (name) family and can give you genealogical data.
Please write again with the data you need.
_ _ _ No, I am not related.
This will not only save you postage because you won ' t have to send an envelope
and a 22¢ s tamp, and hopefully you will have a better chance of receiving an
answer if the addressee doesn't have to actually write a letter :

THE BRAMMERS AND THEIR JQN by Pearle A Brammer with additional material provided
by the editor, Charles D Brammer.
There are thousands of persons i n the US
today who are descendants of the early Virginia Brammers . In the late 1700 's
the records show that nearly all the Brammers were living in Franklin and Patrick
Counties of Virginia . By 1850 descendants of these Brammers had migrated to
Kentucky, Ohio , Indiana, Missouri , Iowa , what now is West Virginia, and other
states . THE BRAMMERS AND THEIR KIN was written by Pearle A Brammer in the 1950's.
It had been edited and republished in March 1987 with additional data and research
material . This 90 page book provides information on the origin of the Brammer
surname in Germany , gives possible ancestors who immigrated from Germany and
England and references many land grants, wills , deeds , tax records, etc of the
Brammers of early Virginia.
Cost $15 . 00 postpaid.
BRAMMER SOLDIERS, 1775-1902 compiled by Charles D Brammer. What began as a
search for information on a Civil War Soldier ancestor developed into a compilation of all soldiers with the Brammer surname who served in wars between 1775-1902
and who are listed in records at the National Archives and the National Society of
the .Tutughters of the American Revolution. By reviewing military records and pension files and by consulting census records and other genealogical sources, the
compiler was able to determine the father and grandfather of many of the soldiers.
This booklet also provides information on how to obtain copies of the records of
the soldiers . Cost $5 . 00 postpaid.
Profits realized from the sale of the above publications will be used for further
research with the resulting data to appear in future editions. To order the

�M/\RRIAGE RECORDS OF BOTETOURT CO, , VIRGINIA

1791 - 1799
Volume II
compiled by
Charles T Burton
Vicie W Fowler
Sponsored by Col. William Preston Chapter, National Society Iaughters of the
American Revolution . The s ponsoring of this book i s a part of the observanc e
of the Bicentential Yea r 1776 - 1976.
(Note : Mrs InEz E Good , Ass ' t Professor Roanoke College, Salem , Va , helped
us with the translation of s ome of the German names and consents. Mrs Good
said she i s not s ure that the translations · are correct because of the
difficulty i n reading the handwriting. She also put down her ' translation' of
the English s i gnn.tures -- these were included to show the difficulty in reading the handwriting of that period ,
Our abstract ions were co mpared with the Botetourt County marriages included in
"A nnals of Southwest Virginia 1769-1800" by Lewis Preston Summers (I was told
these marriage s were copied by a typist and not by Mr Summers) and "Early
Marriages , Wills , and Some Revolutionary War Records , Botetourt Co , Va" by
Anne Lowry Worrell. After each author 's name are listed the differences, if
any. If no differenc es , just the name of the author or if the bond was not
listed .
These bonds are only those bonds that are s till in the Botetourt Count House
at Fincas tle , Va , as of 1976.

QUAKER INFORMATION : Accord i ng to Willard Heiss, noted genealogi s t from Indiana,
thos e of Quaker descent all too often change Quaker plain dates to pagan form .
They fail to realize , he writes , that prior to 1752 the tenth month was December,
ninth month was November , eighth month was October, and s eventh mont h wa s September. March was the first month , He recommends l earning the differen ce i n "old
s tyle " and "new s tyl e " da t es as well as double dating. And suggests there is a
need to compre hend the loss of eleven da ys a t the time of the change when the day
after September J , 1752 became September 14 , 1752. from "Geneal ogy Digest', Vol.

When o ur fo rebe ars were "h eading we s t " som e times t h ere wus no
clergyman to pe rf orm the wanted ceremonial ritual , so the coupl e
wait e d for the Circuit Rider o r Travelling Preacher to catch up
with them . This ofte n led the mini s t er to 11 marrying" the coupl e
and bap tizing their children all in one day .
Th ere was never a ny
a?c~sat ion of wrong behavior , but acceptance of living with cond1 t1ons as they existed at the tim e .
Hope this inform a tion will hP-lp someone .

ANCESTOR PROBLEM

contributed by
Robert A Goodpasture*
The earliest Goodpasture record so far found in North America is a land
survey near Brock 'Gap, on 'IUnis (now Runion) Creek , in Augusta (now Rockingham) County , Virginia for one Jacob Goodpasture, in 1753 (Augusta
County Survey Book 1 , page 69). The land was immediately transferred to
one John Runying (Runion) .
Runion is a French name ; however , the Brock' s Gap area was settled principally by Germans and in Colonial t imes was known as 'Little Germany '.
What were Jacob ' s origins ; and who was his wife?
ing an orphan s on Abraham from whom I descend.

He died in 1766 leav-

No passenger lis t has been found showing the name Goodpasture (Goodpasture) . Was it anglici zed from Bon Pasteur, Gudepastor, Gottspastor,
Gospatri c, Gutacker, Gutsbesitzer , etc? These names have not been
found on any passenger list either.
A Welch possibility is Gudquester.
The names Goodacre, Goodland, and
Good.range were found i n the London , England telephone book. Gospatric
appears in Ancestral Roots of Sixty Colonists by Weis. In German Gutspachter means Tenan~ farmer (note : Old Gennan h = s or f.). A Gutacker
genealogy was privately published in Wien in 1919 by Hans Gutacker. The
name i s not common . There is a Bonpasteur family in France.
*Star Route, Georgetown , CA 956JL~
(editor's note: I will not say how long this has been tucked away. Mr
Goodpasture may have found his answer by now, but the above is a good
example of why a person may not find his ancestor. I have been told
that the name of Waskey is Englis h , Welch, Moravian, German, Uk.raina,
Polish -- and they came from France. What a choice?)

In Roanoke Co. several.days ago Leslie lavender , 16 years of age , attempted to rob a farmer named Alex ' r Owens , living 8 miles from Salem , and in
order to accomplish his purpose shot Owens in the back while he was repairing his fences. The wife of the victim , hearing the shot , ran out to
ascertain the cause, when lavender shot her in the breast, he then tried
to murder Owen's mother, but she escaped and alarmed the neighbors.
The
boy then fled to the woods, and sought the protecti on of Matt Bandy , a
relative, who refused to shelter him. Iavinder then went to Bandy ' s
stable and stole a horse, on which he escaped to Montgomery Co, where he
abandoned the animal. He is thought to have escaped into Franklin Co.
Both Owens and his wife will probably die.

V1ratn1a Appala.ohia.n Notes

�From an old n ewspap e r:
"A Big Enough Family."
"I think the r e was chil e ns enough
There wa s Kitt y a nd Pomp a nd me;
A cat and a dog a nd a littl e boy
Are a b ig e nou g h f a mily.
We u s ed t o h a v e lot s of fun, you bet,
and now we h a v e none a t a ll;
Th e r e ' s s ome th i n g upsta irs in mama's bed
A littl e r ed th i n g i n a shawl .
If I sl i d e down the b a nisters ,
make a l ittl e noise
A woman comes out a nd pats my head,
And talks a bout ' g ood little boys. '
She wea r s a wh ite a pron a nd c a p,
a nd 'pears to o wn the hous e ,
I wanner 'f s h e think s a fellow like me
15 got fur on hi s f e et like a mous e?
~ es

They're all th e time talking about my nose
It ' s broke on the br i dge they say,
And they were certa i n sure there ' d be
An accid e nt the r e s ome day .
And whe n I look in the glas s they laugh;
I's funny I suppose ,
But nobody e ver did that before
Wh e n anything hurted my no s e.
When papa comes in, he s ays, "Hullo,
You little rat - how' s Sis?'
He mea ns that wiggly thing upstairs,
The cook call s "Little Miss. "
That' s got the puckers in her shin ,
And squinties in her eyes,
And looks like a 'gyptian mummy,
'Specially when she cries .
Her nose is ten times broke r 'n mine,
Don't look like a nose a bit .
I t's got little holes but not any bone,
And mama keeps pinching it.
J a ck Wilder's got a brother now,
That can wa lk and pitch a ball .
Why didn't they get a child l i ke that,
1 Stea d of that
thing in a s hawl?
Anyhow I've got Pomp and Kit,
They know a lot for tru e.
Th e y scoot when they see that woman come,
And that' s 'za ctly wha t I do .
She c a n't c atch u s , but when she says
Tha t baby ' s the image of me,
r wi s h tha t Pomp a nd Kit and I
wa s all the f amily .''

Dear Fellow Genealogists :
b e my la s t mess age to you a s y o ur pr e sident as my
term in offi c e will soon c o me to an e nd.
When I look back at
the past two years, I
am reminded of all the vo l unt ee r man
hours that go into the work of our organization· . Be fore my
term in office, I had no concept of the contribution of time
an d energy that many of our members cont ·Lnue to m ake week 1n
and week out . It ts because of these contri.but ion s
that r.:e
have been
able
to
provide
the
VAN
and
other
membership
services at a relatively modest cost.
l f we are to continue,
we will need to have additional volunteer participation.

I will not attempt to list the many individu als who have so
wilingly accepted the jobs that I have asked them to complete .
I would like to say thank you all for many tasks successfully

I encourage a 11 mem b ers to cons1· d er h OW y OU might
volunteer some time.
For those who are unable to attend our
meetings, we would like to hear from you and would welcome
material from you f or inclusion in the VAN.
If you are close
enough to attend, cons id er what contribution you might make
and make your willingness known.
Don't wait to be asked. I
have enjoyed my term in office and look forward to continued
work in our organization in other capacit ie s .

"CONSUMER BEWARE" -- GOOD ADVICE FOR POTENTIAL COMPUTER USERS SAY LOCAL
AUTHORS. "
How-to ' s for Genealog ists wanting to "Break .into" 1986
Technology .
(The Cosgriffs a re authors of Climb it Right -- a high-tech genealogical
prim.er , a " how- to -use- today ' s -high-tech" book for family historians, and
regional coordinators of the Nat 'l Genealogical Society ' s Computer Interest Group.
John is a reference librarian at Virginia Tech, while Carolyn
head..s a publishing and research frim , PROGENESYS. · They are now compiling
an electronic database for pre-Civil War Virginia.)
" Because techn olog y now provides such potentially good help,
we wrote t his article for those whose passion for family
history i s sufficient to overcome their natural recticence
to venture into the murky, and sometimes dangerous, waters
of c ompu ter commercialism."
Dateline:

Chri s tia nsburg, VA

Thos e having been hit by the genealogy bug will agree : it doesn't take
long to become overwhelmed by an intimidating pile of family fact and
fancy.
So i t ' s no wonder with computers becoming more affordable, powerful, and e as i er to use, that many family historians now look to them as
a possible means to bring order out of their record-keeping chaos. (And
many pursuing n on-genealogical interest rightfully feel that computerization might also benefit them.)
A persona l

computer may indeed provide efficiency, speed, and accuracy.
These exceedi ngly helpful abilities make possible a highly-effective
storage, organization, and retrieval system. On the other hand , an investment of time, money, and study is obviously needed to turn any potential
advantage into actual help . And by all means you want to avoid being
" burnt" by buying a system overpriced, 1.ll1sui ted to your needs, or both.
(This, unfortunately, happens frequently; resulting in both wasted time
and money, and emotional stress.)
There is , fortunately, a simple means of a voiding the common pitfalls
into which beginners are likely to fall. Begin by thinking throug h these
obvious ques tions:
"Am I suited for computers?" ( i.e., am I willing to
invest time up-front for expected long-range results? It is als o nice,
although not stri ctly necessary, to enjoy learning new skills); and "Are
computers s uited for me?" (i.e ., are there reasonably-priced systems to
help me accomplish my goals?)
If, after some self-searching, the snawer to the first question is "yes, 11
or even a tentat ive "maybe," you must then give careful regard to your
presen t situat ion.
Just what are your goals and how do you want your
system to help you, anyway? Simply applying the power of a computer to
a system unorganized to start with, will only speed up the mess . On the
other hand , spending good thought and serious study on your research
challenges can 't help but result in realistic goals to ensure your progress,

NOTE BY ALN: A scrap of paper with
" I n Chesterfie ld County Court May
purporting to be the last will &amp;
presented in court by William W.

the copy of the following will states:
the 14th 1792 An instrument of writing
testament of JACOB RUBSAMEN dee 'd being
Kenzie ••• "

P hiladelphia Mar ch 22 1792
Dr Gentlemen
The g out i s g etting in my head f ast and I think will kill me soon. I
t herefor make my will having destroyed that I had made before I appoint you
Mr James Lyle and yo u Doct . Mackenzie and you Thomas Banks my executors and bequeat h you al l my real and personal estate of what nature (NOTE BY ALM: Here the
handwriting c hanges ; however this is a copy.) soever in trust, to be by you sold
and f irst all my just debts paid and what is left to remit to my brothers DANIEL
and JACOB BALT HUS AR RUBSARMEN and to my sister MARIA CATHERINE RUBSIMON, or whatever else s u rname she now has to be by them equally divided. My eldest Brother
DANIEL l i ves i n the town of Gress(? )en twelve leagues from Frankfort, and let them
make the best o f it.
I do not much care
if you give a f ew years credit in your selling as the certificate I all ready have
will more than pay all I owe in the world, that is to say if my creditors are honest - Curry the Quack Doctor has an account against me but as it is a rascallY and
mo s t unjus t one he must sue you and I hope you will cast (?) him in 5th at least.
P urchase Dolly and her child and set them both, and Patty also free. I cannot
write more now so God bless you all. perhaps I may add some things as they occur .

I will write you some mor e of my ea r l y recol l ec t i ons
of Holly Creek. As C. /\. J o hns o n wants to know somet hing of
the men that was the pion ee r s o f t h at co un t r y ,
T wi ll g ive
some of my reccollecti o ns of th e Rev . Stcp h0 nt I I. Se nter old
uncle Henry as he was f a mil ia rl y ca ll ed , a nd that in my
judgement desearves special me nti o n in hi st o r y .
I k now
nothing of his early life , h e we n t to th 0t co un t r y fro m N.C .
before we settled there in 1 8 5 6 .
At t h a t t im e h e \\ as on e of
the pastors of the llolly Creek Prjmitivc Bab t :i cc Church,
associated with James Smith Loui s Edw a rds , a nd p c rh ~ ps o thers .
The church house was on th e l a nd of Pre ston P h i pps .
S hortly
after we went out there , th e re wa s s om e d iss ati s faction in
regard to the house, and it was moov e d ab o u t a h a l f mil e and
put up on the land of I s aac Mull in s , o n th e s ame s p o t wh e re
George Mullins stone r es id e nce now s t a nds.
Un c le llcnory
stilled remained as one of the Pastor so
/\n&lt;l I hav e no hesitancy in saying the most faithful of any, for T ha v e no
reccol e ction of ever being there when he was absent, another
thing I want to say, is that, I don't remember, that I ever
saw him come to the church except a foot.
He w~s a man of
medium size his moovment was brisk, dressed plainly, but you
could not fail to see how clean he looked, When the weather
was warm he always wore a clean hanke rchief tied at two
corners around his neck like a man in harv e st to wipe sweat
Another verry striking thing was that he aJway s carried a
redicule as they were called then , which was a small poke
with a draw string in , which he carried hi s Bible and himn
book. When he came to the Church house or in in the grove
whe re he was to preach, he would always hold his book in his
left hand while h e shook hands with all what was there with
hi s r i ght hand . There was regular service at the Holly Creek
Church untill some time in the early part of the civil war .
Wh e n th e people became so devided over th e war qu e stion, the
worship at that place was discontinued.
The faithful old
Pa s tor c a lled the people to meet at the dw e lling house of
squ ire Bill Vanovers where, there was regular service until
some time aft e r the war closedo
When the war commenced the
sons o f S teve n Ho Senter went into the confederate service
and do ub tl es s his sentiments was the same way o but he was
so str ic tly ne utral that he he l d the confidence and

es teem or a l l parties.
(Which only a man of God could do)
I \vas o n ly a bo y ,,·hen he was the Pastor at the Old Holly
C r eek c hu rc h , and I do n't remember whether he was pastor
o f a n y o th e r church or not but when I got to attending his
mee t i n gs a t s qu i re Va novers I often heard him speek of
hi s
pastor over at Elkhorno Some time after
th e war th e llolly Creek church was mooved and reorganize
on th e P o und river and took the name of the Pound Fork
chur c h .
S t i l l \vi th th e same faithful old pastor. When
I t hink of th e long yea rs, and the many miles he traveled
from h is home to meet his appointments, and that without
a ny m a t e rial assis t ance , laboring with his hands on his
farm for his support &amp; that of his family , I don't wonder
th a t th e g ood Lord lvas holding some great blessing in store
for him, part of \vhich in the judgment of this writer was
sent to his home church in the summer of 1872 when that
church was visited by a verry gracious revival of religion
a nd many of his friends and neighbor lvas converted and
joined th e church .
Amoung them was three young men who
was lis e nsed to preach .
Levi Vanover Calib Haynes and
Calvin Swindel l.
If I am rightly informed Calvin Swindell
is th e pas tor of Little Zion church and that the Pound Fork
church was mooved there so the work of the Lord mooves on.
Any man that was as faithful to his trust and labored
to please the Lord as I believe Old Bro Senter did will be
rewarded.
And that his work will follow him.
I will close by saying that tears often filled my eye
when I have been writing this verry imperfect sketch of a
verry faithful old servent of God.

Dear Soci e ty Off ice~

My regr ets for t he delay in proferring my 1986 membership dues .
The tardi ness vas due to my trying to finally coordinate my dues vith
a s pecial quer}'O
For s ome years, since the mid-1970's I have been dabbling in two
s outhwestern Va. Black a b.stracts - - one on Montgomery Co. , the other on
Russell Co, They are both large, Ix.It the larger of the two is Montgomer y
Co., for r e asons I won • t go into here, but the question of size may be
of great s i gni f icance.
The enclosed Ab.stracts of Slaveholdin g Families of Russell Co. in the
1850 Census , t hough annotated,still leaves something to be desir ed
in t erms of introduction text. I also should have included a key to the
abbrevia t i ons , and wi ll do so at t he end of this letter.

• Henry Dicke nson, the son of Henry "The Clerk", died in 1881, well
into his 90's. Elizabeth Bickley was the second of his 4 wives:
i n l 870 his wife was Rebecca Gibson and in 1880, his vife vas
Marie Phillips. His Will was written on 10 January 1661, and
proved 6 December 1881 in Book 10, page 141 . In it he refers
to his wife Mariah, and his sons Henry P., Nathan E. and James
H. It is notable that his slaveholdings had nearly doubled from
t he 23 he held in 1850 to the 45 he held in 1860.

HUNGRY MOTHER: HISTORY &amp; LEGENDS by Mack H Sturgill. "The legend of
Hungry Mother takes many forms, but the one generally accepted in the
Southwes t Virg inia has the earmarks of truth." The story relates that
an Indian r a i d ing p a rty crossed the mounta ins and desolated several
set tlements on the New River, some 25 miles south of the park. One of
t h e pioneers killed in the massacre was the husband of Molly Marley.
She and her s mall child, along with others were taken to the raiders
base, which as well as can be determined, was in Tazewell County, north
of the park.
Soon afterwards Mrs Marley escaped with her child and collapsed at the foot of the mountain now known as Molly ' s Knob. The child
unable to rouse his mother wandered down a creek until he reached a
group of houses .
He could only say the words "Hungry - Mother:" A
search party was organized and the mother was found dead. The stream
was named Hungry Mother Creek and t he Park took the name from this.

Th is article describes Thomas
Jefferson ' s country retreat known as P oplar Forest near
Lynchbu rg , Virginia. Thou gh much smaller, i t rivals Monticello
in a r ch i t ect ural des ign.
I t was built by Jeffe r so n on land
inherited by his wife, Ma rth a Wayles Skelton and used to
esc ape from the demands of hospitality that publ i c l i f e had
placed on the family .
Poplar Forest was a cq u i red in 1 98 4 by a group of pr i v a~ e
citize ns who were determined to preserve and resto r e i t .
O.Vnership has since been transferred to a non-pr o f i t

PRESERVING YOUR RECORDS

from

YOUR FAMILY TREE
By Garland Evans Hopkins

Do not wait until you have completed all you want to know about your
farni 1 y before you put your records into permanent form and thereby make
t hem avai lable to others. If you do wait until such time , you will die
with a mass of records i11 your files, many of which will have meaning only
to you. You owe it to yourself, your family and to your hobby to put what
you have in such form that others will not have to -retrace the ground you
have covered, freeing them to further the research you have begun. This
do es not mean that you should put your records in permanent form before
you feel they are historically correct.
When you have traced a line through as many generations as you can
find for the t ime being, and when you have collected such biographical
and other interesting facts as may be readily located , collect and collate
this data into one manusc ript, preparing it carefully . Continue to collect
information,and occasionally you will have to revise your manuscript or
make an addendum to it. But should anything happen to you, it is in such
f orm that others will be able to take up where you left off.
Whether you intend to have your genealogy published or not, it is very
important that you have several copies of your manuscript made . For your
own protection, do not keep all these together. It is a wise procedure to
p lace a copy in your safety deposit box, another in your state library, and
one in you r local public library .

Dear

~·!s .

Harris ,

"'.' .\t ~ ::::une
id en~ified as

today ~..,i th :.~e letter ar!d tr3.nscription from a person you had
M. S . Bocock . I thought you would be interested i n the identity

of the writer .
T his was T homas S . Bocock of 3 uckingham County, Virginia. He was born in
Buckingham County 1 8 May , 1815 , son )f John Thomas Bocock and Mary Flood. He
attended Hampton - S ydney, and gradua·J·~d firs t in his class in 18J8. He studied
law wi t:i hi s bro t her Will is P . oocock and was ad.mi tted to the bar in 1840 ·
He was a state delegate from 1842- to 1844 and became prosecuting attorney
of the newly formed Appoma~.:.tcx County in 1845 , the same year his fath er became
the first county clerk of Appomattox .
He was elected to congress as a democrat in 1847 and served seven terms . At
first supportive of the Union , Thomas S . Bocock became a representative of the
Confederate Congress a nd served as its speaker . Af'ter the war , he continued his
political career in Richmond , a nd served as delegate to national conventions in
1868 , 1876 and 1880 . He pra c tised law in Lynchburg i n the 1870 ' s during which time
he lived on Diamond Hill. (h is fo rmer home was on the garden to~ this year . )
He retired to his Bu c kingham County home , "Wildway" where he died in 1891.
This is on the basis of r esearch I did in 1980 for a client who graciously
gave permission to deposit my findings in the Virginia Room of Jones l&lt;Temorial
Li 'Crary here. The bulk of my work was on another branch of this illustrious BucKingham County family , but I expanded some of it in order to present a talk for the
Appomat tox County Historical Society .
At the time I am not sure that I would not have had the same difficulty in
reading the first l etter of the signature. If you will compare the capital "T"and "h"
in the firs t word of the second paragraph (p . 68 in VAN) you can see the signature
actually is "Th S . Bocock . "
If you receive any inquires concerning the Bocock family, refer them to Jones
Memorial Library , whi ch has many of the citations I simply do not have time to go
back and track down for you now. Perhaps you would also have the time to pass this
inf orma ti on on to Babe Fowler for next edition of VAN. I may not get to it!
Sincerely,

�THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE

May 1, 1986

DEAR FELLOW GENEALOGISTS :

One of the priviledges of off ice in this organization is the
opportunity to lear n more about the many talents of our
members.
During my term as president , I have been impressed
over and over by the achievements of our members.
One area
which stands out in my mind, is the number of excellent local
histories and genealog i es written by members of our group.
I
have dec i ded with our editor ' s approval to ask our members to
submit information about their boo ks.
We ask t h at this be
limited to books written by members wh i ch are still available
for sale.
This information , which will be published in the
August Van , should i nclude title,
author,
price ,
order
address, and a brief description (maximum of two sentences) .
In order to include this material in our August issue , it must
reach us by July 1. We look forward to hearing from you.
We have had several inquiries over the last several months
about delays in answer i ng our mai l and the amou n t of research
help which we are abl e to offer .
I would like to remind our
membership that we have no paid staff.
All our work is
performed by volunteers many of whom have ful l time jobs.
I
ask your understanding if we are slower to reply or unable to
offer the sort of research help that you had hoped for.
Our
o rganization does exist primarily to serve its members and to
f urther
genealogical research .
Your
board members
will
c ontinue to do our best to achieve these goals.
Plans are underway for our 1987 Wor kshop, whic h will be held
in July at Hotel Roanoke.
We wou ld appreciate your input
regarding workshop speakers and topics.
H. W. SCOTT

NOTE: The original letter by M. S. Bocock is in the possession of Benjamin
Cowan Shields, Jr. of Richmond, Virginia .
This letter was contributed by Susan Harris, 9500 Benbow Rd, Richmond, VA
23235.
"The letter is by a M S Bocock, there is no reference as to whom
the letter was addressed. The only clue is that M S Bocock is i dentif ying
himself as a southerner and the tone of the letter indicates the addressee
was a Northerner.
On the first page of the letter in the upper left hand
corner, there is a raised letter symbol of a building with the word
"Congress,. over the building.
"I found this letter interesting for 2 reasons - the first being the obvious
fact that Mr Bocock was an educated man. This is one of the few personal
letters I have come across during that period that the author s pelled
corectly.
" the second and by fa r more important aspect of the letter is that it gave
me insight into the firm beliefs &amp; pride of the Southerners .
" ps - M S Bocock possibly resided in Richmond, Va . He i s not t o my knowledge, related to me. The letter was given to my father , Benjamin C
Shields, Jr. by his aunt, Virginia Frankland (Butler) Priddy. I' m not s ure
how she came across it.),.

BOOK REVIEWS

MA DISON COUNTY : 200 YEARS IN RETROSPECT by Madison County Historical
Society.
"Madison County, Kentucky , located astride the path of early
western emigration in the latter part of the eighteenth century, fell under
the whole gamut of pioneering experiences . Essentially it was one of the
earliest points of destination of the human movement into Virginal Kentucky
by that great in-rush of emigrants from Virginia and the Carolinas. Its
early history is inseparable from that of Cumberland Gap and the Wilderness
Road "
For over two years Drs. William E Ellis and H E Freeman of Eastern Kentucky
University wrote the chapters , Madison County Pioneer D:tys, 1775 - 1850 and
Madison County Growth and Maturity : 1900 - 1985. Dr Richard D Sears of
Berea College wrote the chapter, Madison County , the Middle Period, 18501900.
The Madison County story is covered in a 450 page book, attractive dust
jacket , foot notes , bibliography, index, 90 photographs, hard bound, colorful personalities as Il3.niel Boone , Cassius Clay , John Fee , and the Burnam
family -- the establishment of Berea College , and Eastern Kentucky Universi ty and their impact on the development of the county. Many of the

THE LAST WORD

Once in a while I break down and write a few words . All material submitted
for VAN should be received a month ahead of the issue date . - - So all
authors please get your titles in by July 1st . (Read the President ' s
Message) . Also the surnames are to be published in that jssue. And if
-- any of our members do research let us know and we will publish the
list.
We appreciate all the material that has been sent to us -- some we have
not published as yet but will. We try to give a variety of information
so maybe our members will find something that may be of help to them .
Of course, all of us are hoping and praying for that one little bit of
information that will find that elusive ancestor. Maybe next time .
One thing that VAN does need is fillers .
I hate to get a quarterly and
find a page that is half blank (or whatever the size of the blank) . I
Know that all of us have copy from an old newspaper, or we have a document
(small) that could be used to fill in these blank spaces that we have in
VAN -- so please send them to us .
Again we want to thank you for the material that has been sent.
Babe Fowler, editor.

�THE PRESIDENT 'S MESSAGE
February 1, 1986

DEAR PELLOW GENEALOGISTS:
I want to begin 1986 with a thank you to our officers, Mary
Surkamer,
Mary
Jane
Vaden,
Calvin
Weddle,
and
Evelyn
Robertson, who are going off the board. They have done a fine
job and will be missed.
They will continue to work for our
organization in other jobs.
Norma Jean Peters is moving to
assistant treasurer and will still be with us. I also want to
welcome Jimmie Steele , Arlene Bell, Rose Disher, and Don
Price.
We look forward to the fruits of all your hard work.
We have received a number of inquiries from subscribers of the
Southwest Virginian.
Despite the similar name, we have no
conn ect ion with that publication and are unable to answer
subscribers questions .
We are beginning our purchase of microfilm for the Virginia
Room with Orange Cou n ty records. We will advise when this
mat~rial will be available to researchers.
A.s I have stated before, we realize that it is not possible
for many of you to attend our meetings but we would welcome
your input .
If you have ideas that you would like to share
with the board, please mail them to me at our P. o. Box.
Best wishes for a prosperous and sucessful year.
H. w. Scott
President

�SEARCHING IN VIRGINIA
by
Glenn M. Turnell
These comments on Virginia will concern mostly the early period and
counties, the counties where it is diffi cult to get records and the southwest area where many of our ancestors ended up after generations of slow
movement across the state from a beginning in Henrico and other original
Shires.
On July JO , 1619 Virginia had called to order, a group from which the
newly-elected Burgesses from each town , hundred or plantation would form
the first representative legislative body in the New World. The Royal
Governor was Sir George Yeardley and after t he necessary preliminaries
he established a precedent for f uture American legislatures - he appointed two committees to study and recommend action on those parts of Virginia's
Great Charter of 1618 dealing with land. Most of the laws in existance
were adopted - fines were payable in tobacco and labor; every householder
was supposed to reserve a barr er of corn for each person living on his
land , and this corn was to be sold to the Virginia Co. of London or exchanged for needed products . Land was the first thing of record in
Virginia and the product thereof - tobacco - the second and because of
these items we have records to help trace our ancestors. Also, we have
the ''head right " - 50 acres for each person transported to the new land
- but this was highly abused and many names on the lists should be questioned , especially dates shown as arrivals . Again, there are the Land
Patents , but these too must be considered carefully as often times a
Patent was not recorded until many , many years after settlement so do
check these for names and dates .
THE HANDY BOOK FOR GENEALOGISTS by the Everton Publishers, Inc., which
is practically a necessity for any researcher, gives the various counties,
when they were formed and from what and usually what records are available
and where you may write for them ; therefore, rather than go into that phase ,
I thought i t might be of help to tell you a little about where you CAN
NOT GET RECORDS and some of the TYPES .
The following will be information regarding "losses" of records in
Virginia counties.
Appamattox

Lost a number of records in an 1892 fire.

Buchannan

~ad a total l oss of records in 1885.
Some deeds
were brought in and re-recorded in an effort t o replace records .

Buckingham

Suffered a loss by fire in the Civil War period
and again in 1869, There are a few records available in the Huntington Library in San Marino, CA.

Caroline

Records destroyed in 1836 and again in the Civil
War, with the exception of a few which are mostly
Mutilated.

Charles City

Most records lost when they were scattered during

�during a rainstorm following a raid on the Court
House by Federal troops. Some were returned by
local citizens but many remain lost .
Dinwiddie

Some records destroyed in 1830s and agai n in 1 864
but not as extensive as might be imagined or
suggested.

Elizabeth City

Has had several destructions of records but the
Vestry Parish Book survives .

Gloucester

Practically no early records - before 1821 that is
- but the Abingdon Paris h records from 1678 have
been published.

Hanover

This, like many of the counties a round Richmond ,
sent their records to Richmond, s upposedly for safe
keeping during the Civil War, and all were destroyed in the great fire which raged through the city.
Actually, only a few Virginia county records were
destroyed by the Federal force s .
There are a few
original volumes which had been trans cribed and
retired and which were not among those destroyed
by the fire, Personally, I have found it very
difficult to get any information from this county.

James City

The original of so many counties.
The spot from
which many very early settlers left to move up the
JAMES for new and virgin l a nd for their crops.
Pr.actically no records - only those which can be
pi cked up from the references to James City in
other records and the Williamsburg and Bruton
Parish Records.

King William

Only 17 will books saved - all else was destroyed
by fire in 1885.

King &amp; Queen

All destroyed in a Reconstruction fire with the exception of a few very early records .

Matthews

All destroyed except a few fee books and some records
dating after 1890.

Nansemond

TOTAL destruction in 1866.
for possible records .

New Kent

Records destroyed in 1787 and 1865.
Parish records survived.

Prince George

Mos t destroyed during the Civil War but the Register of Bristol Parish is available.
Also, Dr.
Benjamin B. Weisiger , III of Richmond has assembled
some old records into two Volumes - #1 , RECORDS
1733/1792 and #2, WILL &amp; DEEDS 1713/1728 and both
are very good.

Prince William

Some records destroyed but more here than in most
of the "burned out" counties .

Try surrounding counties

St. Peter ' s

�Stafford

Ve'TY few early records with the exception of deeds
and St . Paul ' s Parish records .

Warrick

Records destroyed i n Civil War and earlier. Very
few surviving fragments but these are i ndexed.

The a bove list certainly does not give you ALL the lost records in ALL
the various counties but may give you an idea of some of the places where
records are not available .
In workin g with any of these shown counties , be sure and check your
HANDY BOOK anyway to see what is shown and also it never hur ts to try
sending a request for a record - with the SASE of course - because you
just might be lucky and get a favorable answer :
I believe most of us who have done any research have a speci a l place we
like to work - Henri co i s my favorite Virginia county because it i s the
first where some of my ancestors settled in 1635/6. There is a surprising number of existing records for this original Shire and I have two
books , again by Dr. Weisiger, which he has published on this county ,
from some of the records not previously in print and which I hope every
library would get , if not now on shelves . These are inexpensive books
but very easy to work 1nth and.contain many early records . These books
are COLONIAL WILLS of HENRICO CO. , VIRGINIA - Part One 1654/1737 and Part
Two

1737/1781 .

As the settlers started moving further and further up the James , more
and more new counties were formed from this parent county. There is a
published record of "500 Pages Census of 1850, HENRICO COUNTY and CITY
OF RICHMOND" - 1981 , which i s a prime source for the capital city of the
Commonwealth and its neighboring county , which shows the place of birth
of a.11 the persons listed , and hence a migration pattern can be seen for
many of the families . If working in this Henrico area always remember
to check Chesterfield, what records you can find for Charles City, those
for Prince George , Dinwiddi e , Albemarle , Powhatan , Goochland and
Lunenberg. It has been said before , but I will again repeat - a person
could have lived in the same place , not moved an inch and still be recorded in three or four counti es - check them all .
Moving yet further along we have many early settlers whose descendants
can be located in Halifax taken from Lunenberg in 1752 which then included the present Pittsylvania , Henry and Patrick ; with Halifax surrounded
by Mecklenberg , Charlotte , Campbell and the State of North Carolina.
Halifax was , and I trust still i s , a very cooperative county as far as
the clerks are concerned and I have even had them go out of their way and
beyond what might be expected of them in actually searching records to
be of help .
At this point I would like to mention three of the above cited counties
which have history books written about them and ask that you use with
caution . The first i s Campbell with the well knmm and greatly used
CAMPBELL CHRONICLES and FAMILY SJ&lt;ETCHES by Ruth Hairston Early. This
book and HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY, VA. by Judith Hill are both reprints
of early issues and then there is HENRY and PATRICK COUNTIES by Pedigo
which is al most a copy of Hill ' s book. As in all family histories and
genealog ies there are of course some excellent items and there are some
gross errors which have really fouled up a number of Virginia family

�lines . I have in my files a letter from a now elderl y woman who knew one
of the authors when she was in her 80s and writing one of the above books
and she stated if this author did not find the persons who could tell
her about the f amily or families she intended to write about s he put
down what she thought to be the information. DO NOT us e informa tion in
these mentioned books unless you double check with othe r sourc es s uch
as court records . This situation can be s aid to exist for many a rea
histories and family genealogies.
THE BEVERLEY and BORDEN PATENTS of Virginia have many, many names shown
which will be very familiar to those searching in Augusta, later in Botetourt which was formed in 1769 from Augusta and then Fincastle which was
discontinued in 1777, with Montgomery and Washington Counties picking up
at 1776/7. This now brings us down into the southwes t corner of Virginia ,
where many of the descendants of those real early Virg inians s ettled ,
some stayed and are still names well known today in the area . There is
one definite pattern I might mention and that i s - Bedford/Campbell families joined with Washington/Montgomery/Lee/Russell a nd all those sout hwest area families - many of them in the late 1700s and very early 1800s
- and in doing your research you will often find an alignment of names
indicative of this pattern .
We have now crossed the state from the James on the coast to the far
southwest corner and for any or all of the counties there is one source
I would especially recommend that is the ENCYCLOPEDIA of AMERICAN QUAKER
GENEALOGY by William Wade Hinshaw. Even though you may feel certain an
ances tor just could not have been a Quaker, look at thes e records anyway ·
you never know what you may find and these records are fantastic
Also '
do not forget Hening ' s LAWS OF VIRGINIA.
'
'
Personal research in court houses is , of course , the most desirable
met hod but often impossi ble ; next i s t ha t in libra ries ; and the last but
often mos t necerwary kind, to get a record, i s by mail . Some court clerks
are v~r; oooptYratf ve and others a re often almost i nsulting . One well
known county in s outhwest Virginia calls people like us "head hunters "
and turns our inquiries over to a "genealogist for hire " or sends the request back. Some s ources we never hear from even though we all know to
s end the self addressed , stamped , return envelope for a reply .
If you do
not hea r - try again. After all , you are aski ng for public records and
if you are willing to pay a fee to get them you should at the leas t be
given the courtes y of a reply , and put that in the second letter of inquiry
- many times it works: Do not, of course , ask these people to do res earch
for you but if you have a date or even a close approximate date, names
and type of instrument wanted , you are entitled to consideration .
Now t he final and probably the best source for materials is the VIRGINIA
STATE LIBRARY at Richmond . It is my understanding that they have called
in all loose records from counties across the state so they may be made
available for res earch. If you do not find what you have been looking
for in a n individual county by all means check this invaluable source .
I t wi l l usually take some time to get an answer to a reques t and an equal
amount of t ime to get the copy of the instrument if they have it, but it
is well worth wa iting for, as I believe most will agree : (see next page)
I hope there will be an item or two in these notes which will be of help
t o thos e who may be seaching for s ome answers to problems. Many people
say Virgini a i s a very difficult state to research but I have found it

�'7
most interesting and not really too hard and I have a lso found there are
many things available with worlds of information for the searcher - it
just takes time and patience, so good luck and good hunting in this area
of first importance in our country.

(editor ' s note : The Virginia State Library information is i ncorrect on
the county ' s loose papers. The loose papers of the counties are being
put on microfilm with the original being sent back to the counties. If
the papers are at the State Archives - in most cases - you have to get
permission from the County Clerk of Courts to look through the documents which is not easy. There is a great wealth of information at the State
Library and Archives . The Library has published indexes and books on the
material there - write Virginia State Library, Richmond, VA 23219 for
brochures on publications and information on research in the Library.
ps . I forgot to ask if the microfilm is available at the Library -- it
is available at the court houses.)

IGNOR ANCE AND SUPERSTITION ALONG

Contributed by George E. Pesely

LITTLE RIVER

*

The following letter, printed in the Lynchburg Press
on October 12, 1821, sheds light on the conditions in the
southeast part of Montgomery County ten years before that
area became Floyd County.

To the honorable JOHN FL 0 YD,
SIR- The high esteem in which your talents and virtues are held
in this part of the country, has induced one of your constituents, with deference and respect, to address you through the
medium of a newspaper, believing it to be the surest means of
producing the effect intended. I have not the honor of being
personally acquainte d with you, but your acknowledged abilities
and patriotism, shall plead my excuse, were any n ecessary. This
part of the country, perhaps is as little known to you, as any
section that you represent, although in your native county,
(Montgomery,) and at no gr eater distance from your residence than
twenty miles. We the good people, living on the waters of Little
River and its tributary streams, southeast of the Pilot Mountain,
have been chained in t he grossest ignorance and superstition,
ever since this c~untry has been settled: and, sir, I must
inform you that the prospect fo r an amendment, is as distant now
as it was forty years ago. These facts you cannot be stranger
to, when you reflect on the little scisms that exist between this
section and the centre of this county. It is but few among us
who know the pro per course, or by means means or way, a Post
Office is to be established; and their use is so little ~no wn,
that no exerti9n has been made until lately to get them among us.
We are neither a wealthy or very commercial people; but we can
read the newspapers, which will not only improve but interest,
and naturally inspire the people with thoughts of their ow n-Give
them an opportunity to judge of the duties they owe themselves,
and the authorities who govern. The advantages of a post office
to those whose business may incline to a foreign market, or where
the consumption is not adequate to the quantity raised or manirfactured, is certainly of the greatest importance. It has frequently happened, and not unfrequently to myself, that letters
written four or five months, have lain in the post office at
Christiansburg, (which :is twenty-seven miles from a large portion
o f this part of the county) of the greatest magnit ude to my
business.- ! therefore, sir, in the name of the people, your constit uents of this neglected and despised section of your own

* 3 1 4 s. Prairie St., Champaign, IL 61820

�county, r e quest your aid in promoting the establishment of a pos t
office, a continuation of the mail, that goes from Franklin C o urt
House to Giles Court House, which would not be mor e than six o r
eight miles further; to leave Franklin Court House, thence by
Goodson's, where an office may be established, thence to Helms'
or Boon's , near the west fork of Little River, thence to
Christia nsb urg , on the route it now goes. You have acquaintances
on this route, and im mediately in the neighborhood, that wo uld
use all pains to procure subscribers sufficient to guarantee t he
offices to the Post Master General, should that or any other
course be necessary . I am not versed in the laws of Congress,
sufficiently well to speak with certainty; but the people should
place a reliance upon their representatives, to obtain for them,
at least a reasonable demand, especially within his power and
controul- As you, sir, are considered the oracle of your
constituents, and the only channel by which a grievance of this
kind can be redressed with facility, I hope you will show a manly
independent interest in their wrongs, and co me forward as you are
warne d, with that characteristic dignity which distinguishes your
personal virtues, and say, that although you have been neglected
heretofore, for the future you shall hold a share in my esteem
proportionate to your population, your honest virtues, and the
latent single gleam of improvement, that is yet in grembryo, but
may ripen by my care and attention, into useful political or
domestic talents, that may do no discredit to a Breckenridge.
The honest and candid statements above, are written in
has te, and ·perhaps inaccuracies , both as to language and matter
may have escaped me, but I am neither a collegiate or a critic ,
but a plain blunt man of
LITTLE RIVER,
Montgo mecy County.

****************
The man to whom this letter :is addressed, John Floyd
(1783-1837), is the namesake of Floyd County. For many years a
resident of Christiansburg, he r epr e sented the district in
Congress from 1817 to 182 9.. From 1830 to 1834 he was Governor of
Virginiao In 1832 he received the eleven electoral votes of
South Carolina in the Presidential election. His son, John B.
Floyd (1806-1863), also a Governor of Virginia (1849-1852), was
Secretary of War for President Buchanan (1857-1860) and a
Confederate generaL By Breckenridge the writer probably means
John Breckinridg e (1760- 1806), who had been elected to the
Virginia legislature from Botetourt C aunty and to the U.. S
Congress from Albemarle County, before emigrating to Kentucky,
w h e re he achie v ed prominence as the outstanding champion of the
interests of the West, as proposer of the Kentucky Resolutions of
17 98 and 17 99, and as Attorney General of the United States
(1805- 18 06). Several other members of the Breckenridge/
Breckinrid ge family achieved distinction.

THE SIGMONS OF VIRGINIA
In the early 1700s , many immigrants came to America. The father
of Peter Sickman , Sr was among those people who were hoping for better
opportunities and land on which they could live and farm in peace. Peter
settled first in Henry County , Virginia, in 1785. Part of this area
later became Franklin County, and Peter made his permanent home there.
He fathered 13 children who intermarried with others who were children of
these early , adventuresome individulas who braved this difficult life to
carve a niche for themselves in this beautiful virgin wilderness. Among
those pioneers are the names -- Hale, Willis, Griffith, Richards, Brumley
Shively , Moore, Gibson, Jones, Hill, Foster, Burdette, Adams, Slone/Sloan
Peters , Bridges, Wade, Janney , Sledd, Ferguson, Snead, Workman, Brogan,
Keys , Winfrey -- to name a few. Two of Peter ' s children went farther
into the wilderness, helping to open the gate to the west, and made their
homes in Indiana. Two of his children moved into the Kanawha Valley in
the early 1800s and settled in Kanawha County. A grandson and greatgrandson settled in Putnam County , having obtained land grants in 1858.
Other grandchildren and great-grandchildren went to Boone and Lincoln
counties in West Virginia. Peter's other children stayed in Franklin
County, but their descendants have scatt ered all over the United States
and the world. This is a Bt"xll" hard-bound volume by Juanita Sigmon
Halstead . The prepublication price was $25 (brochure received after date)
and may be ordered from Sigmons of Virginia, c/o Ja lamap Publications ,
Inc ., 601 D Street , South Charleston, WV 25JOJ.

Des Moines , 26, Feb . 1876
Dear Estill:
I was gratified when I received your letter of i nquiry on the s ubject ,
that you manifested a wish to know all you could learn of our ancestry and
collateral relatives , and cheerfully comply with your request by giving
you all I know on the subject which I can now call to mind .
My Grand.father , John McHenry, first lived on the headwaters of the
Holston River in North Carolina , where he married Susanna Viney , who was a
swede by full desent if not by nativity . A few years after his marriage
and when my father was but a child , he removed to Washington Co . Virginia ,
and settled down some eight or ten miles from the old town of Abingdon
where he remained until he died , having raised a numerous family as will
see by the sequel.
The oldest son was Andrew McHenry, who was a l a wyer of respectable
attainments and talents , and died at the Medical Springs which he owned on
the Holston River a few miles from the County seat of Scott Co . Virginia .
Uncle Andrew had an only son John who died before his father , lea ving three
children , but I believe that branch of the family i s extinct . I ha ve n ot
heard anything abou t them for twenty five years or thirty years .
Barnabas McHenry , my father, was the second son , was born Dec. 10 , 1767 ,
was admitted into the traveling connection as a Methodist Preacher in 1787 ,
and continued to travel and preach on frontier and mountain c i rcuits unti l
i n 1793 when he married Sarah Hardin , my mother, in Washingt on Co . Kentu cky .
He located in 1795, remained on his land in Washington County . A few years
when he left it for five or six years when he returned and lived on it
until he and my mother died on the same day , June the 15th or 16th 1833
of cholera, at the same time my two youngest sisters , Sara and Emily , died
of the same epidemic. My father was the best educated and most highly
cultivated man I ever knew, who had learned all he did know by abs orption
and the use of t he few books a Methodist preacher could carry with him
around his circuit from settlement to settlement, and from cabin to cabin
i n the woods, and was the best man I ever did know. I never hea:rd him
speak evil of any man and never saw him in a passion in my life . Of course
you know all about our own branch of the family .
Our Uncle Isaac McHenry , the third s on of my Grandfather , marri ed and
settled in Madison Co. Kentucky , n ine or ten miles South-east of Richmond
the County Seat, where he lived until his death, and where his oldest son
John E. McHenry yet lives (1876 ). He is a fine intelligent old gentleman ,
now in his 75th year. Two of his brothers live in Boone Co. , Mo . Two of
his brothers live in Boone Co ., Mo. Andrew about my age, the other I don ' t
lrnow the name of. One of Uncle I saac's son, Oliver , also settled in the
same County and died leaving a son there , s o that by this means

you may some day meet with kinf'olds in that County. The daughters of Uncle
Isaac are all dead. One of them left sons in Illinois by the name of
Burnett. There is also a daughter, John E. McHenry , (sic) living in Clinton,
Mo. married to a man by the name of Stirman or Sherman, I can exactly make
out which as the name is written in her father ' s letter which I have before
me .
Uncle Thomas McHenry, the fourth son of my Grandf'ather , remained in
Virginia until about 1817 or 1818 when he removed to Alabama and settled
in what was called I think, Catawha Valley . He married a very intelligent
and respectable lady in one of the most worthy and respected families in
the State . They had ten or eleven sons and one daughter. Uncle Thomas was
a farmer and always held a high position as a christian gentleman where
ever he lived, and though not an educated man he was a well read gentleman,
his limited opportunity considered, He was elected to f i l l t he unexpired
term of his brother in the Legislature of Virginia , occasioned by his death,
and when my brother visited him in Alab . in 1821 he found him then a member
of Legislature of Alabama. He died in 1823 as I have learned from his son
Rupert whose letters is before me . In this letter he says: 'Ihere are six
brothers of us still living : f'our in Arkansas , and one in Texas, and one
in Homer, La . Robert , John and Martin H. the three oldest, William and
Josiah are the names of the other two . This cousin, Rupert P. McHenry,
lives in Ark . but so near the Southern State line that his P.O. is Onion
Cross Roads , La .
My Uncle John McHenry fifth son of my Grandf'ather, as described to me,
was perhaps the most handsome and prepossessing of the eight brothers. He
was courtly and urbane, in his manners the peer of the best society and the
favorite of the "middle classes" so called . He had been principle acting
Deputy Sheriff of one of the Southwest Counties of Virgi nia for some years
and his friends run for the Legislature against a gentlemen who had represented the County often and who looked down upon a young plebian who would
have the temerity to compete with him . The result was a very animated canvass and election of the young Sheriff over the old Col. Friends and partners
on either s i de were excited and inconsiderate and some unwise partisan
prompted a young gentleman , son of the defeated candidate to challenge mY
Uncle John. The challenge was accepted , weapons, r i fles, distance agreed on
sixty paces I have heard circumstancial details of what passed on the ground
going to show that the young men were not enimies to each other and that
neighter of them wanted to fight , and conducing to show that my Uncle's
friends on the ground were not as careful of his life as they ought to have
been. At the first fire the challenging party fell dead, shot through the
heart . My Uncle had a slight wound on the side of the adbom which did not
penetrate into the hallow of the body and yet the surgeons let him die.
His brothers always had their doubts as to the good faith of the affair,
Thus perished two noble and promising young men, cut down in their youth
and then in the morning of their usefulness, sacrificed to the barbarity of
the Code of Honor.
Uncle William McHenry, sixth son of my Grandf'ather, was a very active,
energetic young man, and in early manhood was clerk and principle manage of
the salt works of King &amp; Co. in South West Virginia. He married Miss
Paston, a lady of highly respectable parentage and about 1815 he settled
at Cumberland Gap or rather about a mile from the top of the mountain in
Claibourne County, Tennessee where he kept public house for ten or twelve
years. And then purchased the ferry and farm and hotel at the crossing of
Vtrginta Appala.chlan l~otea

�Powerlls River three miles further Fast , and then continued to live unt il
his death. I think he left no sons surviving him. He left some three or
four daughters . The oldest , Sarah H. married my and r.er cousi n William
Richardson, of whom I will speak hereafter. Two other daughters married
in that County, Susan and Louisa. I do not remember the names of the ir
husbands. Susan died thirty years ago , Louisa may still be living.
My Uncles David and Johnathan McHenry , the youngest of the family , were
twins; neither of them were married. Uncle David was acting Sheriff of Lee
County Virginia about the ·year 1816 and was shot by a man whom he was about
to arrest under legal process. He died immediately and Uncle Johnathan was
so overwhelmed and depressed that he seemed to lose all interest in life .
They were very handsome men , very much alike in personality , appearance and
sympathized with each other in taste and sentiments and princi ples, and
their mutual attachment was truly like David and Johnathan .
I have seen all of the eight brothers excepting Thomas a nd J ohn , and
as far as my memory serves me, it corresponds with what I have heard from
others that they were as nearly of uniform figure and size as any eight
brothers could be expected to be found . John was full six feet high , of
fine commanding presence, while the other seven were f ive feet ten inches,
each weighing about 170 pounds . Their complexion was fair , their hair
quite dark, their eyes clear bluish grey and very expressive , a family that
you or my boys need not be ashamed of having s prung from.
My Aunt Sarah McHenry , eldest daughter of my Grandfather, married
William Richardson in Washington Co. Virginia . She lived and died in the
vicinity of my Grandfather's old homestead . She left four sons and one
daughter. John, the oldest son when I saw him in the winter of 1818 was
married to Miss Orr and living at his father ' s , but afterwa rds I learned
that he and his brother Nathan moved to Hiwassee valley or purchase not
far from the line between Tennessee and Alabama . David, another brother,
never married; he live in Knowville, Tennessee, died thirty year ago .
William Richardson, when I first saw him, l i ved with my Uncle Willia m McHenry
near Cumberland Gap, and was engaged with him in merchandising. He married
Uncle William's oldest daughter, and moved to Jacksborrough, Tennessee not
far from them. I do not Imow anything of their family on ly that the Rev.
Frank Richardson of the M.C. Church South was their son.
My Aunt Jane McHenry, second daughter of my Grand.father, married
Robert Wallace . They settled in Wayne Co . Kentucky. She s urvived her
husband many years; her sons as far as I know were , John William , Barnabas ,
Andrew. I have no recollection about her daughter. I learned many years
ago that most of the family had moved to Alabama or Tenness ee .
My Aunt Susanna McHenry, third daughter of my Grandfather , married Mr.
Abraham Funk, a most worthy, hon est and Christian gentleman , a Pennsylvania
Dutchman. They lived in Henry Co. Kentucky about three miles from Lagrange .
My aunt died about 1820, They had several children, but beginning at the
youngest they all died before their father. My cousin William died, leaving
mr (sic) his executor etc.

My Aunt Fraces McHenry, the youngest daughter of my Grandfather married
about 1816 to a young gentleman in Southwest Virginia. I have forgot ten his
name.

�March 11, 1876
commenced this letter several days since but have been interrupted
by business and otherwise until to-day I recall and review what I have
written and heard of our ancestors and collateral relatives with very profound interest . I am no'K in the seventieth year and shall very soon join
my father's family of which I am the sole survivor, and as I write each
word and letter I do so with the consciousness that it will be looked at by
my surviving relatives after I am gone and regarded as a Memto of our
I

"OLD UNCLE ".

It is to me a sacred delight that as the last of my family of Father,
Mother and ten children I entertain any shadow of doubt that they are all
now and eternally at rest in the better without the loss of one, and I
fully trust in God's grace to meet them there.
I will just add as far as I know or ever heard no act of treachery or
falsehood or dishonor or dishonesty was ever attributed to any of our names.
Not one of them ever betr~yed a trust or was called a coward.
Affectionately your Uncle,
Martin D. McHenry

LETTER FROM E. A. DUNBAR

Abingdon Va May th e 20th
Hon R. E . Chase
Clintwood Va
Dear Nephew
I attend a sunday School just below here most cvcrry
sunday evening but as it is somewhat wet this evening T
will write you a fiew more sketches or the history that you
are interst in .
I recied the type written coppy of what
I wrote you some tim e ago .
I am sorry that I diden't
tak e time to re w_ri te it before T sent it to you .
J could
have arrainged it mu ch better &amp; not had it so confused
as i t is .
But from now on I think I can write something
that will be better arainged than what T have written .
I said about the last that I wrote that there was but
little war strife during the first year of the war but
some leaning towards the union .
Your Pa stayed at home
tell some time in the summer of 1862 .
it was in that summer
that the first hostility commenced .
I think about June
old Col Menifee and Old Col sam Salyer who was a malitia
col went down fro m Gladeville to Holly Creek,
with a flew confederatesolders .
I don't know what was the
real object of the trip .
but news had on before them
that they ware on th e March that way, and quite a number
of citizens armed them se lves and waylayed them at George 's
fork right where the Babtist church now stands and fired
on them the first shotts that was fired in that section
that I remember . One man was wounded in the a rm and Col
Menifee's fine mare was sho t through the top of her head.
They returned the fire and the ambushers run.
After the
fight there they went down to your Pa ' s and dressed the
wound.
I think they camped there th at night and left the
next day.
In a verry short time they returned with
some more force and with order to conscript all able
boddied men into the confederate service.
Menifee claimed
to have been in the mexican war and had lost his leg in
that war, but he was a bad man all he cared for was the
loot he could get out of it, so when he came back with
some men took up head quarters at Holly Creek for a
month or so , and mobelize&lt;l what force he could get.
Your
Pa joined the force and was made quarter master of the

VirSjnl&amp; Appal.e.Chian Notes

�31

Battalion as soon as he (Menifee) thought he was strong
enough he made a raid over into Ky went down as far as
Pikeville robbed stores and private citizens of stock
or anything they could get, and returned in a week or so
with his booty, took the most of it out abot Castells
woods or some place out there and in a fiew weeks got
his Battalion together again and made another raid over
in to Letcher County Ky and brought out another lot of
stock took them out east and sold them as he had done the
first lot &amp; turned nothing over to the confederate government I don ' t think your Pa was with him on his second
raid.
he did not like the office he then held and he
resined and made up his company &amp; was musterd in the service
some time in the fall of 62 . Was in camp at Camp Banner
and Saltvi l le with his company in the latter part of 62
and the winter of 63 some time in that winter he and Sam
Newberry reported Menifee to head quarters, which cost
Newberry his life and would have cost your Pa his life
too if it had not been for the providence of God as I
believe it.
I will write you a sketch that may not be much interest
to the pub 1 i c , but I am sh u re it w i 11 be of some inter es t
to you and your family . Menifee ' s robery over in Ky was
like stirring up a hornet ' s nest. They did not come over
with armed force , but in a fiew months the most of the
best horses was stolen and taken to Ky . Your Pa had
bought a verry fine mare that was sold at our sale after
Pa died .
She was the only hope that the old strain of
horses that had been in our family ever since Pa and
Mother was married could be kept up , she was a verry noted
animel a bright sorrel with a large bell face any body
that ever saw her would recognize her any where she was
stollen in the winter of 63. Your Pa heard of her over
in Ky by some one that knew her while he was in Camp
at Saltville .
he got a furlow and went home to make an
effort to get her back.
It was quite a dangers trip, but
he armed himself with a double barrel shot gun and his
army pistols , got on the horse he had in the service and
went over the mountain.
I think she was in Floy Co.
when he got near whare he had heard she was he had to pay
some one a good sum to get her in his posession. As soon
as he got her he started for home the horse he ~as
riding seemed to be some what tired and h e stoped to change
his saddle and while he was taking the saddle off the horse
he was riding Kit rubed the gun down that he ha d stood
up against a tree &amp; it went off and shot him in the
ankle.
I know you remember the wound well ., By getting
some help he manged to get home, was taken down with Camp

V1retrua Appalach1an Not('~

�feaver lay for several weeks seemly at the point of deatJ1 .
When he was about at his worst Old Col Me n ifee Come
no doubt with the intention to kill him.
It was on S aturday he stayed all night next mornin g when h e got his
horse out he walked up to the side of the bed and stood
there quite awhile he told every boddy h e met that Ch ase
was just a live but there was no hope for h i m.
fi e went up
to Guest station called Sam Newb e rry out of h is house
and shot him down. He the n run his fi ne mar e over to
Castle woods without a stop from th ere .
I don t remember
of ever hearing from him any more.
It was some months
before your Pa was able to go back to Camp he spent the
most of the summer at home or in the nei g hborhood, kept
a close watch over old Kit untill he sent h er out to his
Fathers for to get her whare he thought she would be
safer than she would be at home she brought one colt
while she was there and died before th e war was over.
That ended that strain of horses with our family .
I will
correct a fiew th ings in your ex planation to Charley
Johnson. Old uncle George French was not th e Fa th er o f
I. E . French he was his uncle.
Hew French was his F~ther ' s
n a me some fiew other things I will correct o r explain lat e r.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
November 5, 1985

DEAR FELLOW GENEALOGISTS:

t

I
~

The end of my year as president of your society is fast
drawing to a close.
I feel that we have had a successful year
due to the hard work of your executive board.
We finally
obtained our non-profit designation from the post office
department which has cut our postage expenses. We have opened
an additional bank account so that we may earn interest on the
money in our treasury.
The executive board has approved a
project which will involve obtaining additional microfilm of
Virginia records for use of researchers in the Virginia Room
of the Roanoke Public Library.
Our long range goal is to
obtain a large portion of the records currently available at
the Virginia State Archives.
We feel that our July workshop
was that best one we have held.
As you probably remember we
are sponsoring these workshops on alternate years now and
would welcome your suggestions as to speakers and topics for
1987 .
Mary Jo Shoaf, who is our support chairman, is heading up our
microfilm project and is completing our packet for new
researchers. This packet will be ready in the near future and
we would still appreciate any ideas on what might be included.
I ask you to look back over our first ten years of existance
and consider our growth and our accomplishments. We began with
a handful of members and now number in excess of six hundred.
Our treasury has grown so that we are now financially secure.
I also ask you to think of the future and where our
organization ahould be headed. Please share your thoughts and
plans with our executive board.
We realize that it is not possible for many of you to attend
our meetings but we would welcome your input.
If you have
ideas that you would like to share with the board, please mail
them to me at our P. o. Box.

Lugar vs 'Tu.ylor con't,

possessed of young bay mare four years old as his own property and which mare had
never been broke fit for service to ride and the said James 'Iaylor on the (blank)
day of (blank) at the County aforesaid did prepare to ~ell said mare to the plaintiff for the sum of fifty dollars but which said sum the said plaintiff would not
agree to Give unless the said Defendant would agree to break the said young mare
fit for service to ride And the said Defendant for and in consideration that the
said plaintiff would promise and agree to pay him fifty dollars for said mare did
promise and undertake to break the said young mare fit for service to ride And
which Said mare he was to proceed and break fit for service to ride as soon as
the said plaintiff should pay him twenty dollars part of the price of said mare
and the said plaintiff did in consequence of the (def t ? erased) said agreements
agree to give said Def end.ant fifty Dollars for said mare and did pay down the sum
of twenty dollars and did afterwards execute his note to the said Defendant for
thirty dollars more but the said Defendant entirely disregarding his promise and
undertaking in manner and form aforesaid made with the said plaintiff hath fraudulently failed and refused to break the said young mare so that she would be fit
for service to ride but on the contrary when persons would attempt to ride said
mare so as to be serviceable the said mare would throw herself down &amp; lie down &amp;
was entirely unfit for service to ride by reason whereof the said mare was and is
rendered entirely useless and of no value to the said plaintiff wherefore the
said plaintiff saith he is injured and hath sustained damage to the amount of one
hundred dollars and therefore he sues .

on a note t hat was executed by the Complainant to this Respondant &amp; obtained a
judgment fo r the same after deducting twelve shillings &amp; six pence which is Indorsed as a c redit on said note your Respondant states that true it is he delivered
to the Said Compla inant Ginsang to the amount of thirteen pounds ten shillings
agreeable to the Statement in the Bill of the complainants and it was agreed that
the said compla i nant Should pay this Respond.ant one half in goods &amp; the other
half i n cash for Said Ginsang Accordingly the Said Complainant credited his note
to the Said Respondant for the half that he was to pay in cash being six pounds
fifteen shillings the other half your Respondant then took up in goods and received a Bill of the goods from the Said complainant which amounted to exactly
Six pounds fifteen shilling but which Bill hath since be accident got misplaced
or lost Your Respondant expressly denies that he took up goods of the Said complainant to the amount of eight pounds ten shillings and nine pence and if the
complainant has got such charges on his books against your Respondant they are
false nor never did your Respondant agree to pay the said Complainant fur for
goods because he was not indebted to him for any goods having paid him in Ginsang
for all the goods he got of him except one bridle which This Respondant got of

then mentioned to the said W' m Toney as there was acc'ts between them if he would
get him ten pounds of brimstone when he came up that he would pay him for the
same in the accounts that were between them accordingly the said W'm Toney on his
return let your Respondant have seven pounds of brimstone £or which he charged
your Respondant one shilling per pound &amp; which your Respondant has paid him for
the same In one whiskey barrel and (?

denies that ever he sent an order either written or verbal to John Toney to
deliver goods to W'm Toney or any body else and to charge the same to him your

There is an old, little- noticed cemetery in the middle of a pasture , in Price's
Fork, Va, with graves, some of which have engraved stones and some of which
bear no witness. Mrs Evans Guymm of Price's Fork; Mrs Clairmont Snider Clemens
of Blacksburg; Mrs Eunice Snider Rudisill of Rad.ford ; Mrs Lois Snider Rudisill
of Price 's Fork and Margaret Drody Thompson of Roanoke recently hiked into the
area in order to record those still visible for genealogical research, as well
as provide a memorial for those buried here for which no sign remains .
There is a Confederate grave among the briers and fallen trees , which in days
past has been remember and decorated:

There is no stone for the original log-cabin settler and owner of the vast farm
that once surrounded this family plot . Although the plot is presently called
the "Pat Snider Cemetery" , it originally served John Abraham . It is believed
that he and his wife a re buried here . John Abraham Snider was born circe 1760
and died in 1848 in his home nearby .
The cemetery is located in the middle of pastureland between Sunnyside Road
and Tom's Creed Road Northeast of the Snider Cemetery on Sunnyside . Permission
should be secured to hike in from Tom ' s Creek Road. The best access is about· a
quarter of a mile from where Tom ' s Creek intersects with Route 685 .

(1 Apr 1984: This list was among the papers of my great-grandmother ' s trunk ,
Elvira Lockhart Ball of Lee County , Va. The "widow Olivar " was her s ister ,
Emeline Lockhart Olivar. She remained in Missouri (and kept the money) , and
later married James W. Caley. A third sister was Vashtie Lockhart Oliver ;
all three were daughters of Daniel Lockhart of Lee County. The "Martha
Lockhart" is probably a fourth sister (Daniel Lockhart did have a daughter
Martha, but I do not know any more about her. ). My great-grandmother Elvira
Lockhart was born in Lee County about 1842 and married Jonathan Kelly Ball
in 1861.)

THE LAST WORD
Usually I don ' t write this column because I figure the space would be better
filled with information. This has been a very busy sum.mer and has put me behind in everything • •• . construction work in our yard, birth of our first
grandson, visits from him and his parents , my brother and his wife from the
state of Washington , trips of New York and Washington , DC (no research much
to my regret), and all the other little things that happen to upset your
plans •.• . that I have not been able to spend the time on genealogy or the time on
VAN that I should - - so please forgive me for all the foul-ups that I have
made.
Just noticed that in typing the new address for the back cover of
VAN, I did not put "returned postage guaranteed• . That meant that if your VAN
was not received - - we di d not Imow it . Also , if a person asks that their
mail be forwarded to them, VAN will not be forwarded, unless that persons
agrees to pay the postage. Postage on a single issue of VAN is just under 90¢
-- that is the reason that we mail back issues with the current issues , trying
to keep costs down .
As with most genealogical societies , we have no
paid personnel - all volunteers who have families and jobs , so we must put
f irst things first , which I regret to say i s not VAN . We all try to do our
best - - so please don't be too angry at us when we foul-up . We are trying,
but we can do just so much. And I want to thank everyone who has helped us ,
donated material and been so nice to us .

HELP

WANTED

To our local members -- we need help in the Society. I Jmow we need a
treasurer, assistant treasurer, one of the secretary offices is open this year .
There are many other jobs that are open. - - I have heard people say "No one
asked me, " If you want to help , let us know --we don ' t Jmow unless you tell
one of the officers. One job -- I (as editor) believe that there should be J
people involved as editors of VAN -- will someone come forward .

�THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
August 1, 1985

DEAR FELLOW GENEALOGISTS :
I am pleased to be able to report to you that our workshop was
very successful.
Dr. Schweitzer and Pat and Ray Gooldy not
only taught us a lot but kept us entertained as well. What was
in reality a long day seemed to go by quite quickly.
In
addition the facilities and luncheon served by Hotel Roanoke
were both excellent .
No mention of our successful workshop
could be made without saying thank you to Calvin Weddle , our
t reasurer. He did most of the hard work that made our workshop
possible.
Thanks also to Norma Jean Peters who handled our
publ icity.
We have a new member of the executive board, Mary Jo Shoaf who
wil l be taking over the job of Support Chairman. Mary Jo is an
experienced genealogist who was very act i ve i n her North
Carolina society before moving to our area. We l ook forward to
her contributions.
Gerri Glosh has found in necessary to
resign because of other responsibilities and we hope that she
will be back with us soon.
As r have mentioned before, the board is continuing to explore
ways that we may fulfill our stated purpose of fostering
genealogical research .
We are working with the Virginia Room
of the Roanoke Public Library to plan what we might do for
them and would welcome any suggestions from the membership.
We are working on a packet of information which we might make
available to those members who are
new
to
genealogical
research.
we hope to have this packet ready by October and
would appreciate any ideas on what might be included .
We
reali ze that it is not possible for many of you to attend our
meetings but we would welcome your i n put .
If you have ideas
that you would like to share with the board, please mail th em
to me at our P. O. Box.
I look forward to receiving some
our out of town members.

ILLUf:ITNATING A DARK CORNER:

ROBERT ROSE, ROAD BUILDER

By Nathaniel Mason Pawlett
Faculty Research Histor ian
Virginia Highway and Transportat i on
Research Council
The multitalented Reverend Robert Ro se , t h r ough those en tries in his
mid- eighteenth century Diary dealing with roa d bui ld ing i n the T ye River
area of Albemarle (now Nelson) County, ha s h e l ped t o t h ro w a little light
on early road building in Virginia. Very few writt en r ec ord s were kept by
those who practiced it.
One who practiced road building and wh o did writ e about it, sketchily,
was the Reverend Rosert Rose. The conventio n al v iew o f e arly roads was
that of primitive trails and paths, particularly in t h e We st.
Even in the
earliest stages of settlement in large areas of Virginia in the eighteenth
century, this period of trail-blazing wa s bri e f.
Throughout the seventeenth century, "path" was the t e rm used to denote
the routes traveled by both the Indians and th e wh it e settlers to describe
Virginia lines of travel not worthy of the name "road."
"Consulting the Oxford English Dictionary, we find that the word trail
is derived from a 'trail,' that which is left by the passage of a thing or
person over a surface . Therefore, a trail should b e defined as the most
elemental form of a path , a followable route. • • • • The path is a footway ,
'especially one beaten by feet, ' •••• permitting the passage of a person or
a horseman, but not a wheeled vehicle. Paths suitable for travel on horseback were often designated as 'bridle paths ' in Virginia road orders."
Finally, the dictionary defined "road" as a suitable way for the passage
of wheeled vehicles. A road then would include bridges over l arger streams ,
and possibly some grading. It would seem that the paths of the I ndians became the paths and the roads of the white men as settlement moved into the
Piedmont in the years after 1700.
Road signs appeared at intersections directing travelers to "the most
noted places" by 1738 • Mileage markers were erected by 1737 or earlier, as
noted by William Byrd II, who mentioned having seen 13 miles of the road from
Germanna to Fredericksburg similarly marked .
Rose, located in the Piedmont up-country in the shadow of the Blue Ridge,
was involved in the construction of several roads and bridges.
As noted in
his diary dated January 30 - February 3, he was for five days engaged in road
building and bridge operations.
"January 30 - Cloudy, went with Mr. Harvie and my people on the Buffalow
Road , moved a heap of stones • •• ••
"February 1 - Fini s hed the Bridge over the Spring Branch, cut down the
Bank a t Buffalow, l evell e d part of ye Hi 11 by Naked Creek &amp; got Home at Night,

�J II
these 3 days has cost Me 36 Men ' s labour, to do my Neighbour s a pleasur e
before I have got Necessarys for myself •••
"February 3 - •• • finished the road two Miles from one Rol l ing Road to
the other, very Cold, got home about 3 pm."
Robert Rose owned plantations in Essex and Orange Counties. He owned
many slaves and white indentured servants . On his home plantati on, he owned
39 slaves at the time of his death in 1751. When two or three planter s of
the stature of Robert Rose , Pe~er Jefferson, and Joshua Fry wer e assigned
a road to clear or open, constructing or opening a road woul d have been
neither difficult nor unusua l , as they could easily have had access to 100
me n or more at a time for employment.
From Rose ' s Diary we learn how roads and bridges of what has been cal led
Virginia ' s Golden Age were laid out and constructed by such eighteenth century
ge ntlemen as Robert Rose .

Transportation, July - August, 1978.

DEAR FELLOW GE NEA LOGISTS:

I would like t o b e gin my letter you by asking that you look at

This page contains
informatio n a bout our 1985 Workshop. I have had the privilege
of h e arin g b o th our spea k e rs and can recommend them to you
without rese rvation.
I urge you to plan to attend.
We hav e sec ur ed a non-prof it d e signation with the Post Office
departme n t .
This will mean that our postage expenses will be
reduced an d hope f ully we will be able to increase our support
to organiz a tions that f oste r g e n e alogical research. I ask that
you not i f y Mr s. Gerri Glosh, our support chairman, of any
suggest ion s y ou might have r e garding these contributions . Her
addre s s is 30 1 Houston Av e . Roanoke, Va 24012.
I would like to offer my congratulations to our editor, Mrs.
Babe Fowl e r.
As I ' m sure you know , Babe has done a wonderful
job for us on our VAN.
In her " spare " time she has now
completed the Home Study Course offered by the National
Genealogical Society.
We will celebrate the tenth anniversary of the establishment
of our organization at our June meeting. Mrs. Deedie Kagey ,
our program chairman, has planned an overview of our history
and a r e c e ption.
Our meeting will be held Saturday, June 15,
at 1:30 p.m. , in the Brody Room of the Roanoke Public Library .
We hope a s many as possibl e will att e nd.
Your board of directors continues to discuss ways in which we
might improve our organization and our services to members. We
realize that it is not possible for many of you to attend our
meetings but we would welcome your input.
If you have ideas
that you would like to share with the board, please mail them

PARROTT OBITUARIES
contributed by
Charles T Bu r t on*
(Note : These were found in a scrapbook - no indication of newspaper er
date of publication . )
AN OLD CITIZEN GONE -- Lipscomb Parrott , an aged and respected citizen
died at his home near Whi te Shoals at J o ' clock on the morning of August
9th , 1 88.3 . Some ti me ago while wal king about the house he fe l l and recei ved an in jury a nd while confi ned to bed by reason of this , he was
attac ked by diabetis , which disease resulted in his death . Mr. Parrott
was a man of wonderful vitality ; at the age of ninety years and upwards
he was a ccus tom e d to ride over his farm and see to his affairs , and this
he continued even after he became unable to mount a horse without assistance . At his death he was in his 94th year--probably the oldest citizen
in our county . He was a man of the greatest energy and untiring industry ,
by reason of wh ich he had amassed a considerable fortune, consis ting of
a large landed estate and a great a mount of personal property . He was a
man of the sternest integrity , of unflinchi ng devotion to princi ple , and
at the same time of the. warmest and most generous impulses. In all he
was a noble citizen , liked and respected by all who knew him , and his
memory will long be cherished. He leaves two sons . His aged wif e preceded him to that undiscovered country only a few months ago .

ELIZABETH PARROTT
wife of Lips com Parrott and daughter of Wm and Martha Vermillion , was born i n
Russell co ., Va . Her parents moved to Lee co ., Va. , where they both died,
leaving sister Parrott in charge of her brothers and sisters . Though
young herself , s he brought them up as a mother . She professed faith in
Christ at the age of 14 , near Jonesville , during camp-meeting, joined
the M. E . Church , South , in which she lived a consistent life until death.
Was married the year 1843 , became mother of four children . Two of them
preceded her to the future home , two sons and her aged husband are left
to follow . Her redeemed and cleansed heart seemed to be the gateway of
charity , the p oor never came to her and were turned off naked and hungry.
As the end drew nigh and the sha dows fell l ong amid frailt ies and much
sufferi ngs , s he often rejoiced in hopes and expressed an ardent desire
to quit l i fe here and enter it anew i n heaven . This desire was granted
Ma y 17th , 188.3 , at which time Death finish his dread work and let the
ranso med s pirit g o to grasp the God we s eek .

Over the years of working on my family lines I've had to come up with
s ome fo rm of shorthand . This cuts down on time spent on the phone when
taking informati on on a family or at the libraries and archives to cut
down on write rs cramp . Before this discovery , many was the time I ' d
wri tten something down and then wondered hours or days later - What is
that ? The sy mbols aren't new , but it ' s a different way of putting them
together for a clearer meaning to your notes .

(Editor' s note : This is a good idea . Ea ch of us have found - on our own ,
read a bout , or picked up an idea from someone else - an easier way of d o ing recordi ng or records . What would you like to share ?)
Fowler's Hint : If possible I like to zerox the index page of the surname.
On that page beside each name, I mark one of the following : abstracted ,
zeroxed, or not of my family . This page will be placed in the notebook
I use for county research .
The next time I go to that county court house ,
I will not go over that same record again.
No more zeroxing the same deeed
or will t he 2nd or even the Jrd time .

�AN OVER VIEW OF THE RF'CORDS IN THE COURTHOUE.':S: OF THE CITY OF LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA

/~

Ann L. McAlister , C.G.R.S . *
From 1787 to its incorporation in 1805, Lynchburg was under the jurisdiction of
the county court of Campbell.
In 1788 an Act of the General Assembly established a district court for the
counties of Bedford , Campbell, Franklin , Pittsylvania and Henry to be held at
New London , then county seat of Bedford . Lynchburg was in this district.
A Hustings Court was established in Lynchburg in 1805 consisting of a Mayor,
a Recorder , four Aldermen and six common councilmen: the Mayor, recorder and aldennen were constituted justices of the peace within the limits of the town and a
half mile around with the same powers as those of the county courts .
This Hus tings Court continued until 1870 , although the limits of jurisdiction at
some time were extended to a mile outside the city (or town) limits.
In 1866 the General Assembly amended the city charter to provide that a Judge and
twelve elected persons should serve. At this time Lynchburg fell under the postwar authority of the 1st military district. The first elected judge in 1867 was
removed f rom off ice for refusing to take the oath of allegiance. The second was
appointed in 1869 , but resigned when the present Corporation Court went into effect,
and the Court of Hustings was abolished .
Hustings Books , essentially order books, are bound and labeled from 1805-1827,
although I have not found a book covering the period from 1823- 25. These books
are indexed. Records of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, containing criminal
charges , are bound upside down in the 1820-1822 and 1826-27, but there is a common
index. There is one volume of minutes from 1810-1815 which is not indexed.
Chancery and Law Order Books begin July 1828. These are still Hustings Court
Records and are variously labeled Mayor, Alderman and Judges; they continue through
1870 and are not with the Circuit Court and Corporation Court books.
There are several volumes of Dockett Justices Executions from January 1859 December 1886; these tell you little except names and returns of court costs.
There is one Law Execution Book covering the period from August 1842 to July 1852;
and a Chancery execution book beginning 1852. There is also a Chancery Process
Book beginning in 1832 and running through 1917 , located at this time on a shelf
of miscellaneous record books .
These routine Court Record books should be checked for possible expansive notes
by clerks , and for clues to other areas of search indicated by executions ordered
to officials of other counties .
Jucigment Dockets and Liens begin in 1841 ; these indicate in which court the
cause was heard, the date, names and parties and residences of parties (not always
filled in) and the debt or damage.
Bond records start at

1855.

To back up - First there was the Hustings Court beginning when the town of Lynchburg was incorporated. In 1870 the Corporation Court for the City of Lynchburg
was established under a provision of an act of the General Assembly providing such
a court for each city with a population of 5 ,000, to be presided over by a judge
elected in the same manner as judges of county court . Both Hustings Court and the
later Corporation Court were inferior courts with limited jurisdiction.
In 1814 there was established a Superior Court of Chancery, also referred to as
District Court. The Superior Court of Law was still held at New London, until one
was established in Lynchburg in 1823.

�By 18)1 fifteen judges held S~erior Courts of Law throughout th e stat e and t here
were nine Superior Courts of Chancery held by four judges . Apparently co nv inc e d t hat
the whole system was becoming increasingly cumbersome, the General Assembly abol ished
all these courts as they then existed; they then divided t h e sta te i nt o te n distri c ts
of two circuits each, and merged Law and Chancery with the prov iso t h at t h e d i stinction
be kept in the records. These new courts were called Circuit S uper i o r Courts o f Law and
Chancery. There was to be one for each county and corporati on, wi th a s eparate judge f or
each circuit. At that time the Lynchburg circuit included Campbell, Bedfor d , Patrick,
H~nry and Pittsylvania. In 1850 the Superior Courts of Law and Chance r y b e came simply
Circuit Courts - one for each county and city of t he first class (exce p t Danville . )

The source for this outline of the courts is Historical S ketch o f the S tate Courts
of Lynchburg, written in 1951 by Judge S. DuVal Martin, a pamphle t in Jon es Memorial
Library, Lynchburg, Virginia.
Papers in ended chancery file drawers also show that a Superior Court o f Chancery for
the Richmond District was held in Lynchburg shortly following its incorporation.
The importance of recognizing the variety of names by which the Courts of record went
is two folds l)accuracy of citation and 2)as a reminder that t he records of Law and those
of Chancery are kept separate. It is also important to remembe r that in Lynchburg the
Corporation Court records do not begin until 1870.

A word about the simple records we all know and love:
Marriages s The Courthouse has a General Index to Marriages - Male, and a General Index
to Marriages - Female, both from 1805-1925. These refer one to the Marriage Registers ,
kept in the same section of the Record Room. Original marriage bonds, conse nts and
Jninisters ' returns are in boxes on top of file drawers. Ask permission to see these.
Later marriages, of course are also indexed, registered and available.
Probate records: The earliest index is the General Index to Wills and Fiduciary Accounts
£orporation Court of Lynchburg June 1809 to May 1892. Actually this goes through 1913.
General Index to Wills, Administrations &amp; Fiduciary Account s through 1976 is labeled #1.
~neral lndex Wills , Administrations, &amp; Fiduciary Accounts #2 covers 1901-1935·
Reference s in these indices in general indicate Will Book i f by letter and Fiduciary

~ if by number. There may also be reference to Law Order Books (L), Chancery Order
O~er Books(c) ·or Deed Books (D) . This means another record concerning this probate
exists and should be checked.

The earliest Fiduciary Account books are kept in a locked room.
Original wills are
~e on file in drawers along the back wall; other miscellaneous original documents are
i n the same section of file drawers, including a Corporation Court list of heirs from
1918. As with other original papers, ask pennission from the clerk to search.
Unfortunately the first General Index to Lists of Heirs begins June 1922.
Deeds : Indexed by granter and by grantee, the earliest are from 1805-1935. Single
letter deed books, the earliest are to the far left. Most are in bound volumes that
may not be copied; abstract for the information or ask for a certif'ied typed transcript
t o be sent some time later.
~Books:
These are shelved on the far right wall, between the drawers of
Court a nd Chancery court ended file drawers. 1819 is the earliest book now in
Court house . Jones Memorial Library has the years 1814-18 on microfilm. These
are particular ly usef ulas a number of persons who were non-resident owned lots
burg ; their place of residenceis usually identified.

Circuit
the
records
in Lynch-

In r eading any land tax books, it is important to read the column " alterations" as this
Picks up the land changing hands, whether by deed or inheritance. And al though the lis t s
are usually alphabetical, by noting location - in Lynchburg there are street name s and
lot numbers - it is possible to f ind t he neighbors in the decade s between census enumerations .

�/~

In simples t terms the distinction between Law and Chancery (or Equity) can be
/
stated that where the Law is black and white (a document is signed, therefore legal),
Chancery Courts were created to provide relief for the persons crying "Unfair! I
signed that under duress!" For a succinct and clear explanation of examples of causes
falling under each category, see Genealogical Evidence. A Guide to the Standard of
Proof Relating to Pedigrees, Ancestry, Heirship and Family History, Noel c. Stevenson.

Lynchburg has continued to maintain separate records for each court. Remember ,
there has been a Circuit Court, a Corporation Court and a Superior (or District)
Court of Chancery.
Chancery Records: Ended Chancery Causes are indexed alphabetically by Complainants
and Defendants in two sets of Books - one for Circuit Court and one for Corporation
Court. There are four books for the Superior Court of Chancery (or District Court)
beginning in 1814. Each is indexed. The indices can refer one to a file #, and/or
to another court. The file # refers to the file drawers containing original loose
papers relating to the cause.
Corporation Court Chancery Order Books begin March 1867 - when the Hustings Court
was dissolved.
Law records: Circuit Court Law Order Books begin May 1823. Corporation Court Law
Order Books start with 4 July 1870.
There is no general index for these two series of Law Orders; however each book has
an index, either separately bound, or in the front or the back of the book. Among
entries of interest found in Law Order Books are declarations of intent to become
citizens, which give place and date of birth and year of emigration. These may be
indexed by name, and can also be found indexed under "Aliens".
Before getting into my favorite category of records - l oose papers - I want to mention a couple of items of interest in Lynchburg Courthouse.
There is a Chancery Process Book from 1832-191 7. It is not with the other chancery
order books. This contains records of fifas and subpoenas and to whom delivered -if to sheriffs of other counties, you have a clue to work on.
There are two books, one containing seven declarations of intent during the period
of 1906 to 1907, and a second with one petition for naturalization, "spoiled" written
across it. The Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization was established in 1906 ,
and those records are supposed to be confidential . I imagine, as usually happens
when a law is changed, there was a time lag in getting the information to the clerks .
Loose Papers: These are the original papers concerning a cause brought before a
court . They are fragile, dusty and Wlder the authority of the clerk of court . They
may be sealed for reasons of confidence, or of fragility. Check before attempting to
search any of these. Once given permission, ~ou will find searching these papers may
reveal all kinds of genealogical evidence. Ended chancery papers are filed when the
suit was ended, finalized, for the last ti.me. Try to find the date the original bill
was filed; there may be supporting evidence that predates this -- a will , a deed, a
patent, for example. Death dates and marriages can be approximated as suits are
abated, and parties added to, or removed from the dispute . Affidavits can provide
age and place of residence of the affiant; sheriffs make notes on subpoenas a bout
the persons they could or could not find to serve . Change of residence to another
county and state of individuals involved pop up. Some of our ancestors were a
litigious group when it ca.me to land or property, and there's no fight like a f ami l y
fight. There is a chancery suit in Lynchburg filed in 1858 which was beg un i n 1795 ,
and contains evidence ref erring almost twenty years back from that date .
In Lynchburg, as in any other court house, it is wise to check every record that
is open when you are stuck. At the same time, it is wise to have r espect for the
records, including exquisite care in handling a nd replacing all recor ds one is
permitted access to . It is also wise to have respect for the cl erks of the court;

117

�/&lt;!
they are busy and concerned with their charge of maintain ing c urrent day to day
records, and researchers owe them courtesy and a professional att itude .
Finally, there are many City of Lynchburg records that have been removed to
the State Archives permanently, as the space available has shru nk.
One group
of records was removed in 1958: in 1980 another large group of records went .
The clerk's office has a twelve page inventory of t he l at ter , including tax books ,
Hustings Court Minutes , Memorandums , Rules books , Fee books, Doc ket boo k s , Pleas ,
Indices to Birth and Death Registers, various account books and loose papers among
many other classifications.
Lynchburg , due to its position on the James River in its earliest day s , was and
continues to remain the hub for the surrounding , and more rural, counties .
The
records here often reflect that , and anyone searching campbell Bedford Amherst
Buckingham or adjacent counties must not neglect the re cords of Lynch b~g .

SAN F RANCISCO ' S EARTHQUAJ&lt;E : On April 18, 1906 , an earthquake measuring 8. 2) on
the Richter Scale rocked Sa n Francisco . The quake , lasting 48 seconds, and the
subsequen t fire , lasting three days and nights , caused tremendous property damage.
The number of c as ual ties , never completely tabulated , was in the hundreds.
To arrive at an a ccurate total for the number of dead Mrs . Gladys Hansen, San
Francisco City Archivist , has made a thorough search of all available records.
Her total of 826 known dead far exceeds the official figure of 478 given by the
1 907 Board of Supervis ors. Yet even with her careful calculations, Mrs. Hansen
belie ves the revised figure too low. She appeal s to anyone having knowledge of
any person killed in the 1906 disaster to write to her with whatever information
they have.
The names of the dead will be entered in the officia l roster in the
Pub l ic Library , a vail a ble to researchers of history &amp; genealogy.
We e n courage anyone seeking information on people killed in the 1906 F.arthquake

&amp; F ire to write to:
Mrs Gladys Hans en, San Francisco Archives, Public Library, Civic Center
San Franc i s co, CA 94102

P l ease enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

THE NICKELSVILLE .3PJ..RTl-J'; E/.. ::D
by

Lt . Col. Dale C. L . HoneycutL U .. .1 . A. !•' .

~ etirvd

from
Gate City Herald,
Gate City , Va .
1961
The community of Nickelsville gave the fourth Infa1 tr1 Conip:.:i.r.y :·ron . 'cot t
County to the Confederate .Army, as the local you lr.~; m·1rched or.f Lowards
Abingdon in a company knm-m a s the Nickelsv ill e 8p:.i.rtcrn &amp;t.nd , Lrnder the
command of Capt. Henry W. McCon nell.
They arrived :it their de:-; ti nation
in time to be mustered into t he Army of Virginj_a Volunte~rc on the 1Jth
day of July, 1861. This distance may have been coved ln one day , for
later on, a day ' s march of J5 miles was nothing unusual 1·or soldiers ll ke
these Gen . Jackson , in one of his official report::: on movement of ".foot
cavalry" , as they have been so rightly called , stated that one Brigade
marched 36 miles in a day .
The Spartan Band became Company H of the 48th Infantry Regiment , Virg inia
Volunteers . Later on, through reorgan ization , it became Co . E of that
regiment. The Company had a strength of 76 when f.i.r~:&gt;t mu s tered ; however
it was a different s tory at t he surrende r at Appotmatox on 9 April , 1 865 .
At that time it had only one soldier present for duty That soldier was
Tu.niel Frazier. A check of the muster roll, given below , will reveal that
this soldier was wounded at Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and the Wilderness. Whether this was the same soldier who surrendered at appromatox ,
the wri ter does not know .
Known commanders of this company were Capt . Henry W McConnell , Ca pt . S .
P. McConnell and Capt . c. w. s . Ha rris.
The Compa ny figh ting with Jacks~n · ~ ~orces saw service throughout the combat area of northern a nd eastern
Virginia, and accompanied General Lee to Gettys burg .
Perhaps i ts most
gallant display was with Jackson• s Valley Campaign.
Often outnumbered by
great o~ds, the feirce fighting by s oldiers such as these brought _ vi~t~ry
after victory, The soldiers from the mountain areas of western Virginia ,
often dubbed "Squirrel hunters " 1 were given up to be s ome of the best shots
in either the Union or Confederate Armies.
A glance at the names of this company, as well a s those other compan ies
to be discussed in these articles, reveal how strong families of Scott
County were loyal to " theSouth . It appears that the names on all thos~ .
old muster rolls were nothing more than a roll call of the pioneer families
of the county . Each family with sons accepted its duty as one or more sons
went off t o war . In some cases , n o doubt , every available son in the family became a Confederate soldier. It must be remembered that these were
all volunteers for the Confederate Conscription Act was not passed until
the next year.
The Muster Roll taken on 31 August , 1861, the first taken after Abingdon ,
while stationed at Big Springs (Northwest), Va. is quoted:

SAUL BROTHERS
contributed by Doris C Sink*
From her letter: I don't know who wrote this s tory but I have the address of
the person who sent it to me if anyone i s i nterested in t he Saul history . . . . . .
lvzy" husband's great grandparents were Leonard Al t ick Sink a nd Sa rah Ja ne Sa ul
Sink.
"During the Civil War there were three Saul brothers in the Boones Mill a rea of
Franklin County who were UNION sympathizers and were accused of burning barns in
the neighborhood. Their hideout was in a cliff behind the present day Antioc h
Church of the Brethren. Her e they apparently found a cave and used this as their
base of operation until captured.
"Not far away Hickman had erected a mill on the Blackwater River. The brothers
undertook to post a warning that his~uld be burned. At the time the sheriff of
Franklin County was Owen Price and an all out effort was made to capture the
Union Sympathizers. The three Saul brothers were captured and a trial took
place at Charity Chapel which stood on the site of the present intersection of
Routes 643 and 641, approximately half way between Antioch Church of the Brethren a nd Hickman ' s mill. This is near Retreat Store. The three Saul brothers
were t ired, found quilty and were executed by firing squad.
"Twelve rifles were loaded without shot and six wer e loaded with shot. My grandmother t old me that one gentleman stated he · knew his rifle was loaded because he
a imed a t a button and the 'button jest weent aflying'. I can remember seeing
one of t he s mall Kentucky rifl es that was used.
"Charity Chapel no longer exis ts and the present roadway passes over the site of
the original Charity Chapel. I would guess that the name is most likely related
to the f a ct that the county poor farm was located nearby and was in exi stence
many years bef ore t his event."

If you 1 ve been searching f o r a Revolutionary record for an ancestor
wit hout luck, don ' t forget th e alter na tive that they . may have been
lo ya l to the C rown - a Loya list or Roya list, as they were called.
It is sometimes diff i cult to find genealogica l records for the coloni sts who supported the British during the Revolutionary War. There
ar e some available , howeve r, in this country, and England and they
sh o ul d not be overlooked i n y our research.
Occassionally your search
could entai 1 records fo r exh iles in London, East Florida, the Bahama
Isl a n ds , Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and Upper Canada. There were
al s o b l ack l oyal i sts, of which more than 3,000 accompanied the British
forc es to Nova Scot i a a nd New Brunswick after the war. After nine
year s , some participated in a nother exodus to Sierra Leone. Attention t o absences by Loya lists shoulci be given both during and after
the ~·a r.

For a peri o d b e tor e the revol~tionary war broke out, notices appeared

Research for Loyal is ts has recently b~en given a big assist in the

In 1980 Murtie June
Clark published a list of Loyalists recruit ed in the South for duty
in the South (exclusive of Virginia and Mar~ land, to be in Vol. II ).
And she plans for future editions for the Mid-Atlantic States. So
her book is a good starting point for researching Southern Loyalists.

There may also be records of confiscation of loyalist

--- · --MY RECOLLECTIONS OF VIRGINIA
Of my home in Liberty I do not remember anything , except my .fa thl:r 1.u ::; t
have lived for a time on a small farm near Liberty, called the Dool e y I' l'l c ~ ,
and from this my brother and I got our nickna mes . His was "Capt Dooley" ;.nd
mine was "Pussy Dooley ". I do have some fai nt remembrance of livin g ln - f'i- m:
house painted yellow, somewhere on the road between Sandusky and Lyn c hhu r g , ·· .d
of a toll gate near there , kept by the Misses Powel . My mother used t o wcJ..lk
sometimes from there to Sandusky, and take her children with her ; a ud we woulJ
stop at the toll-gate to rest. While livin g here I went to school to Pa (he
taught an "Old Field Skule "). Though I could not have been more th.:tn fou r
years old. I remember going to the Spring one day and being terribly f ri ~ ht­
ened by a cow, and "Mary Amory Jones " drove her a way .

Well, as I told you , in the fall of 1830 Pa took us to Grandp:t ' ; t o :-· t."1.y ,
until he could get a home for us . How well I do remember Sandusky.
It : eems
to me I can close my eyes and think I see it a ll now , - -the two - story brick hous e ,
the circular carriage drive; in front, the t a ll oak trees , where I 80.. U 1e1·ed
acorn cups for my play house ; the brick walks leading to the office o..nd the
kitchen; the ice- house; the well; latticed around ; the poultry house s ; the garden, with the pear-trees and one apricot. In the garden were the bechi ves,
just like those we see in pictures of Englis h scenes , made of rushe::. or grass,
with round tops. I do believe I know just where the mint grew (on a stump) for
making the famous "mint juleps" of the " Old Dominion ". Back of the house were
large forest tre8s , with long notched poles leaning against the lower branches ,
for the turkeys to climb up to roost ; and here were several s tumps wh ere my
uncles used to crack walnuts and hickory nutes ( grand- ma kept them in the garret
over my mother's room.
My grandfather's obituary says he was kind and indulgent to his children,
Yes, and to his grandchildren too. I do not remember to have ever heard him
speak a cross word to anyone. It was grandpa ' s regular custom to ha v e family
prayers by candlelight "about five o ' clock in the mornin g " (and the house servants were present). After this was over he would sweep up the hearth a nd set
a row of apples in front of the fire , tuil1 and watch them until they wa re
roasted; these were for the little ones when they waked up.
I remem·ber he
carried dried fruit, peaches and pears in his pocket for us.

I always slept with grandma when at Sandusky. She u sed to put on a "flannel
shirt" and a "calico short gown " early in the morning, and go to the hen-house
to feed her chickens and ducks. 'Ihere stood a large shade tree near the window
of my mother's room, with a bench under i t where grandpa used to sit to rest
when he came in from the fiel d.
There are two hymns he was very fond of singing: " It is finished " and
"Brightest and best of the sons of the morning". Of this last I remember the
words and tune distinctly, and would be glad to know that his descendants would
keep it "sounding down the ages" as "Grandpa's favorite hymn"·
People go to
Jerusalem and Mecca on pilgrimages, but the greatest desire of my life is to go
to Sandusky if it is like it used to be; but I might be like cousin Virginia
when she went to see her father ' s old home in Franklin: "She was so tired becau se
the trees were gone".

Un c le Ro lier t :i.nJ Pa had n o gun or pis tol ; the only weapon of defence they
had wa!J n. :~ma11 d:i.r;l~er , ·1.bout 4 or 5 inches long, so they determined to sit up
and wa tc h th:iL nif~ht .
They took the s wingle-trees off the carryall and sat in

They heard some noises or disturbances among

sleeping in our c~ 1.mr thet. t ni ght, e xcept we little ones slept. The "Lord of Hosts"
kept guard over u:&gt; .
After b e ln g on the road three or four weeks , we reached Franklin, and lived
there until the ~ ~prin g o f 18.35.
lliring these four years in Tennessee, my sisters
Lucy and Sarah h a d died with s c arlet fever , and Ma had another little babe,
sister Elizabeth.
In this winter and spring of 1835 my mother ' s health was so
impa i red 1rom dy: ; peps ia that her physician said she would certainly die if she
r e mained here, and her only desire seemed to be to live long enough to reach her
hom e in Virgin i a .
They wrote to Grandpa and he sent Uncle Robert with a nice barouche and a
g ood pair of horses to c arry us back.
Now I must try t o tell you of our trip and what I remember of our visit.
So the r e were Pa a."ld Ma, brother Pa trick , sister Elizabeth and I, Uncle Robert
to go .
Brother had a little Indian pony that he rode . Uncle Robert went on
hors e -back; Ma an d Pa, s ister Elizabeth, with her nurse Caroline and I, went in
the c arr iage.
It was in April when we started. 'My mother was so weak when we
l eft F ranklin, s he had to be carried from the house like a child and put i n the
c a rriage , and i t took two days to go to Nas hville (only 18 miles); but Ma grew
stronger every d ay , an d s o impatient about getting home, after a few days, that
s h e wan t ed t o go 4 0 miles every day. I think Pa and Uncle Robert used to fool
h e r sometimes about the distance they had gone. It took us 15 days to get to
Sandu sky , about 450 miles.
Uncle Robert seemed to know a l l the best stopping
pla c es.
One e vening we stopped a t a ve-ry mice looking house, and Pa had carried
Ma u pstairs and laid her down, and he went to see after his horses. Ma lay still
and was very quiet.
When Pa came in she said: "Listen, Hopkins! I Hear somebody

Pa looked und er the bed, and sure enough there was a large man fast

�asleep. Very soon his son came in and took him ou t . The ::.on :-aid. he gave l-hem
a great deal of trouble. When he was drinking he would eet into the room::; and
go to sleep. Ma was terribly frightened, but Pa promised she : hould never be
left alone again.
Did you ever see the Cumberland Mounta i ns in the spring? I.f not, you L"lve
missed a treat. As far as we could see , it was a perfect flower t;arden of wild
flowers and traili.ng vines; the trees were covered with them . I ha vc 1 ookt.::d up
the molllltains, and to the very top it was the same ; and , down on the other .~ide
of the road, seen the tops of the trees , with a little stream , like 1. --11ve r
thread, winding along at the bottom. Did you ever read Charle:.; Egbert 8r-. 1 -lock ' s
"In the Tennessee Mountains"? She gives some of the most beautiful de:-criptlon~
of molllltain scenery I have ever read. (I knew Miss Murfree · ~ father when 1 w;:i.s
a school- girl, and went to school with two of his s isters , but I have never met
Miss Mary Murfree) .
Near Knoxville we passed the residence of Mr. Ros s , a l arge white f'rame
house on a hill, with the garden terraced dmm to the river . As we pa::-.:.Jcd, :.:; everal carriages were driving in at the front gate , the lad i es of Knoxville ·~o•ug
to call on his bride . (This man was an octaroon , was educated i n the north, and
married there). On the other s ide of the road , near the entrance of the toll
bridge, stood a small house where his "mother" ( a mul atto woman) s o ld cakes,
beer and cider. I was told she had been accustomed so long to thi:::; kind of work,
she could not be happy without it.
I and Caroline used to walk sometimes and gather wild flowers .
One day we
saw an immense wall of stone on one s ide of the road. On going nearer we .found
an opening, and peeping in saw a room with stone walls . It was a cave; we 13ot
frightened, and ran back, afraid of snakes and wild anima ls.
We crossed Clinch and Trench Brad Rivers in ferry boa ts, and I us ed to amuse myself paddling my hands in the stream. Sometimes I would ride on brother' s pony .
I couldn't manage him, and he would turn out of the road a nd try to rub me off
against a tree. Once he carried me up on a high bluff han gin g over a river . We
were about to cross, and I had to wait till some one led him dol-m.
Once I t ried
to cross the road just in front of the carriage.
The tongue s truck me and I
fell off backward and crawled out on all-fours. After this happened, Pa said I
shouldn't ride any more. After some time we reached your father's and staid a
day or two here. I saw -the mill and the creek and large pastures, with many
fine horses. I think there were two houses , a brick and a n old fram e house , and
Aunt Frances had a Dutch oven where she bakes bread, cakes and pies. She had a
small loom to weave carpet binding in, that Uncle Tu.zewell made. I have a key
basket that Aunt Frances gave Ma; s he said a blind boy near there made it. When
we reached Liberty, there had been a terrible rain and the gullies were full of
water. The first one we met was cousin Jimmie Cook; he had a pole and line,
with a pin hook. Uncle Robert said , "Where are you going, Jimmie?" "I' th g oin'
fi thin'". "Do you know this girl's name?" "Yeth, i th couthin Put thy Dooley".
We drove on to Uncle William Cook's, but there had been sad changes there. Aunt
Sarah and Cousin Mary were both dead· Fannv and Emeline were dressed in mourning.
(Cousin Roland, didn't Cousin Mary l~ave t~o little girls, Twins? I think I
remember seeing them at Uncle Cook's.)

As we drove out of Liberty the next morning , and old negro man got over the
fence and came to the carriage, said , "Howdy do, Mass Robert? " Looking in, he
saw Ma: "Laws, Miss Milly, is da t you?" "Yes, Uncle Abe, this is what is left
of me". "Fore de Lord, Mistes, I neber would a knowd you; dat are kentry don't
grees wid Mass Isaac's chillllll , nohow. I.0.r Mass Robert, he kem home a rter he
done hed de fever or somun , lookin' like he was dead, and Mass James, he allays
sick; peer to me you all better stay in ole Verginny; s uit you all s o much better".
Then he took my mother's hand and said, "Good-by Miss Milly; I hopes you ' 11 git
well now", and we drove down the road.

I remember I wt:.: in '.l class with the g:rown girls, and we used the Testament
for a read or .
We ::at on n. long bench in front of a desk or sloping plank the
whol e 1 enrrth of the room to write, and instead of a window made of glass, there
was a pl-ink :·huttcr , which W'3.S opened to give us light.

Pa did not rcmaln long at Grand-pa 's. He went home, and Uncle Robert went
to bring UncJ c James ' famlly to Virginia . I think Uncle Robert made the trip
back and forth five times that year, until he said he knew every crooked lane
and every 0 toppin {j place on it . After a while, Uncle James and Aunt Eliza and
five children came .
Then Uncle John ' s family from Lynchburg came out to spend
the s umme r .
There were thirteen of us grandchildren at Sandusky that year, and grand-ma
didn ' t let u s eat at table with the grown folks at supper time. She used to
have a lon g table in the yard and gi ve us cold rolls, biscui t and some times
ash-cake with milk, but ter and hon ey, just at sun-down , and then we played out
of doors until dark.
We ha d a happy time. My father, as he returned to Tennessee, had made arrangements for me to go up to Liberty to school, and I was to
board at Uncle Armistead ' s . As soon a s Ma could get me ready (I think it was
about the first of July ) she carried me to the post-office at Sandusky. Here,
after takin g leave of me, I got in the s tage to go alone. It was the first time
I had ever been separated from her.
Of course I fel t very lonely, and wished so
much fo r a qu iet corner where I might have a good cry; but there was a youth
sitting just in front of me who persisted in whistling all the time. It was so
t i re s ome, how I did wish he would stop . When we reached a little village, about
hal f way to Liberty, he got out and I was glad of it, and so was a nice man sitti ng on the sea t with me.
This gentleman talked to me some, and called me "Sissy", He asked where I
was g oing , and who would meet me,
I told him I was going to Liberty to school,
and my Uncl es Armi stead and Jefferson Otey would meet me at the post-office (he
did not ask me my n a me, or I might have found who he was), After a while I went
to sleep , with my head resting against him and his cloak spread over me. I sleptti
t i l l we reached Liberty .
He waked me, saying, "Look at the lights in the houses ·
and when we s topped at the post-office, he said, "Here we are, and there are your
uncl es " .
I g ot out a t the post office and walked to Uncle Annistead. Here all
was strange to me.
I had never seen any of them before, and I felt so lonely;
bu t i t doesn • t take children long to get acquainted. I think cousin Fanny Otey
was a beautiful girl, with her brown eyes and hair, and bright rosy cheeks. I
remember seeing Mr. Saunders, too, who was visiting her then. (Wasn't his face

marked with wine ? ) Though I was to board at Uncle Armi:-.;tead ' ..; , I LLlnk I :;pent
most of my time at Uncle Cook's with his children. I felt llkl~; I kI • w thl:!m .;o
much better. The cook's name was Milly, and Venus was house-~..:rvant.
Well, I started to school next day, to the Female Seminary (I tJ~li eve i t
s t ood just where Bedford High School is now; I think it loo~ like t~ 8 old ~em i­
nary did). Professor Smith was the Principal; he told me I need ~10t rl;t ~ny
l essons that week, but I might try to learn the rules and regul atlo1.. of the
s chool. Here I studied "Smith's Geography ", "Brown ' s Gramm::i.r"," Ar.ith1.wUc"
"Natural History" , used "The Young Ladies' Class-book" ·1.; a reader, 1.ml "Fir·t
Lessons in Composition". (These books were all bound in 1_:r:7, when w&lt;· lo.

house by fire.) The rules were vecy different from :::mythln,a 1 harl bc•..,n ·l.r·. 1 ~tomed
t o , and many a mark did I get for talking during school Lour;· a.rd for r~l.· Ln·· t~e
top of my desk.
I do not remember the names of many of my schoolma tc:; , but . ar-u1 ·mcl Laura
Cook, Annie Otey and Jennie Scruggs , Fanny Phillip (who ha.dn 't any Lorw lri her
thumb on her right hand and used to w.ri te with then pen between Lhe fir.~ t
nd
middle fingers). Her father, Dr. Phillips, lived across Main Street rror. l•n~le
Cook's
and Bessie Hoffman.
I went with this little girl to see Aunt Fanny, who was her :::::l:· ter- in- law ,
and we passed a spring and stopped to get a drink. I remember watchi? l: the water
as it boiled up in the bottom, through the f ine white sand , and thou ch t.. it. oea.utiful. Then we passed the tan-yard and ca me to the house.
Here I met Aunt Fanny . I remember going with some girl:= out ori the road
toward Lynchburg one evening to get a better view of the flag on the PP~k~ of
Otter, placed there by some patriotic boys on the Fourth of July.
We hi=Ld a
pocket spy-glass with us, but could see the flag without it.
About the middle of July my mother went with Uncle Jefrer"'.on and Miss Julia
-- (I have forgotten her name but think she was remated to Aunt Prudence Otey;
Ma called her "cousin" )--to the White Sulphur Springs.
The Doctor said that Ma
must drink the water eleven days. After she had stayed two or three days, she
became very anXious to leave, but Uncle Jefferson said " No"; she must stay there
as lo~g as the Doctor had said she rr.ust. He would not take her hom e.
I think
Ma weighed about 90 pounds when she went· and when we came back to Tennessee in
t?e fall, she weighed 14o;. I have no do~bt the trip to the springs saved her
life, When she went, she left sister Elizabeth with Grand.ma. I was in Liberty,
brother Patrick was at your father's, and Pa was in Tennessee; no two of us
together. I used to think it was very had, even then, when I was so young, and
n?w, when so ~uch.older, I am a great advocate of people keeping their child.re~
with them. Life is too short and uncertain for families to be separated when i t
can possibly be avoided.
After Ma returned from the springs, she sent me a box of fruit from Sand:isky,
peaches, pears, apri~ots and grapes. I think it was the prettiest box of fru1 t
I ever saw, a~d I enJo!ed it very much. (The peaches were not so large as some ,
my. husband. raised on his farm near Franklin. ours weighed a pound--apothocaries
we1ght--ap1ece.)
'
In Septem?er or October, some of the girls and I went chinquapi.n hunting ;
we gathered quite a quantity of these little nuts. I was in this school three
months. After the examination I returned to Grand-pa's and staid a while, but
the time was drawing near for us to go home. Pa did not come for us, but his
partner, Mr. Joseph Baugh, had been north for goods, and came through Virgini a
to visit his father's family, took us home. It was the last of October when we
left.

So I saw the Cumberland Mountains again, in the fall.
This country, even
then, was a fine place to raise apples. I have seen pens made of rails piled up

THE LAST WORD
VAN went to preqs early this time and for a very good - but sad - reason. Our
publis her, Ora Belle McColman, is retiring as of November 1, so she can publish
her book on the Mayberry family . We ' ll mis s her : She has done many wonderful
t hings for us ~ There is no way we can say how much we appreciat e her put ting up
wit h us. Thanks just doesn't seem enough. We do wish her much success wi th her
book on the Mayberry family .
VAN has had a good year and we want to say thanks t o a ll of you who have mad e it so.
We love those letters that pat us on the back. The ot her kind that pops the balloon
-- we apologize for all the foul- ups that we have made. Please forgi ve u s, we a r e
t rying to correct all mistakes . Remember we have no c entral office and we are a ll
volunteers. It takes time to put out VAN - we work at other jobs, have famili es, '
and all the ups and downs of life - - so be patient with us .
We are looking for a new publisher and I know that the cost of printing will go
up - - also the postage rate will be going up next year -- so that means that SVGS
will have to i ncrease dues. How much I don't know , but we '11 try to keep it as
l ow as possible . If we can keep our present membership, it won't be too much - not as much as some increases I have seen.
Another cos t we have is returned postage . Our members do not notify us of change
of a ddress. Return postage can be as high as 8J¢ per issue . High postage is one
of the r easons we mail back issues with our regular mailings. So please let us
wben you move.
The staff of VAN hopes that we have given you information that you can use in your
researc h. And most important, most of the material ha s been contributed to us.
Thanks to all who have contributed.
Good luck in your r esearch

�THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE
... t seems to me that a lot of history has passed in our Society since my last
message to you in the May 1984 i ssue of the VAN .
',.le had a!: excellent meeting in
May at the Mormon Genealogical Library in t!'.,.,12 church building off route 419 in
NW Roanoke. The librarian, Mrs Virg i nia Ferguson , whom mn..ny of us knew , gave an
excellent talk on the research faciliti es available at this location and how we
could also receive other research material from the vast records of latter D3.y
Saints Library in Salt Lake City.
The following week your President too k a ten day trip to Louisville , Ky . , St .
Louis, Mo., and the country south on both the east and west side~ of the Mississippi River, visiting towns and cities whi ch my distant relatives had a part in
their beginning. We travelled south to Memp hsis , vis ited the eastern part of
Arkansas, thence back to Memphsis and return ed thru TN to VA . We Jeft copies of
our Society' s brochure in most all locations vis ited.
At our June meeting, Miss Tutwiller, our beloved Librarian of the Virginia Room
of the Roanoke Public Library, spoke at the meeting room of the Library . She
gave a brief history of the Virginia Room, her aspirations for its future and
outlined how we as individuals could help her attain her goal s. She was presented
with a copy of an old 1868 map of Virg inia by your editor , Mrs Fowler, on behalf
of the Society at this meeting.
The finances of your Society are in excellent condition and our membership committee continues to report additional new members at each meeting . I hope you
will make your plans early to attend our next meeting.
Cordially ,
Raymond Brickey, President

SNOWVILLE
·About a hundred years ago, a villa ge called Snowville on Little River, Pu laski
County , Va.
miles south of Radford, was started. This village was calle d "The
Foundry" at first, with the post office named Humili ty .
In those days there were no
postage stamps nor envelopes; the letters were folded up, a small quant ity of sea lingwax held them together; the money, ten cents, was paid to the postmaster .
Not ma ny
persons received letters, and newspa pers were hardly heard of .
I never saw a news paper until 1852.
Snowville was named after the Snow family who were Northern people, and \vere
among the first settlers, whose touch gave li fe to the many enterprises that fol lowed.
The New Englanders who settled here introduced churches, school houses, Sunday sc hools,
singing classes, debating societies, etc .
The charcoal furnace was o ne
Before the war Snowville was a great iron center.
of the largest enterprises in the county. Then there was the foundry, where a ll ki nds
of castings were made; then the wood-shop with its facilities for making all sor ts of
farming implements; then the flour mills, saw mills, woolen mills .
Back in those days , before railroads and macadam roads, our village was an
inland emporium.
Saturday was always a great day in Snowvill e ; everybody around about had to go
to town once a week and get the news. The mails were carried weekly from Chr istians burg to this place. I can see old Dan Aker, sixty years ago, coming with the mail.
The sturdy yeomanry wou ld come in from the country and exchange ideas, crack jokes,
buy something from Capt. Bill's big store . This gentleman was from New Yor k, a nd
had the push of an A. T. Stewart. The Captain was a polished gentleman, a great
thinker, and a genuine friend.
Let us name a few of the men who used to be seen on the streets of Snowv i 11 e:
Rubin Roop, Big Jim Simpkins, John Hawley, Creed Tayl or, Dr. Pepper, Gordo n Hall,
Dan (Ben?) Ridpath, Lewis Roop, John Meredith, Gordon Dob b in s, Thos. Ha ll , Thos.
Crandall, Rev. Mat. Smith, et als. All these and many of the you ng er generation have
vanished, and their names are almost forgotten.

There were a number of citizens of the village that I cannot forget.
These
people lived there before the war, viz: The Bullards, the Snows, the Stones, the
Ammonses, the Sangers, the Hamakers, the Baxters, the Bi 11 s, the Hund 1 eys, the
Palmers, the Taylors, the Shelors, the Godbeys .
In 1861 Snowville passed under the war-cloud. Many of her hoble sons rall i ed
to the call of the Southern bugles. " Fall in" was heard all over the country. As
it were, men dropped their plows in the field, laid down the hammer and the saw,
kissed dear ones and started to the front.
I can see the boys marching -- - Tramp!
Tramp! Tramp! I can see Albert Bridges, J. P. Hamaker , Wi lliam Sa n ger, John Baxter,
William Shelor, going toward the valley of death! The writer saw the courage of
those boys tried in the "Queen Battle " of the war--Chancelorsville---where bl ood
flowed like water. Not a waver in the ranks, although half our company fe ll in t he
fight where Jackson was ki 11 ed. Co 1 . Vandeventer led the 50th regiment in this
great battle, and Capt. Stone , Lieut. Bridges and Lieut . Worre 11 1 ed Company I, a nd
Meeker's (?) legions vanished like leaves of the forest .
I here draw a curta i n over
that dreadful scene, and when "the 1 ast ro 11 is ca 11 ed" I may meet my comrades from
Snowville on the beautiful camping ground, where war is forgotten .

This was written by t he Rev . James T. Taylor about the year of 1912 .

He died in 1919.

Virg1n.1.a Appal&amp;eh1e.n Notes

�HISTORIC FINCASTLE, INC.
Fincastle,
Virg inia, twenty miles north of Roanoke on U. S.
Hi ghway
220 was e stablished in 1772 .
Today it is a quiet and
qua int village of 3 6 5 residents and a virtual museum of American
arch itecture from t he late 1770 ' s through the twentieth century.
As the seat of the new Botetourt County from 1770 until well
int o the Revol u tio nary War, Fincastle was the governmental center
of a v ast tract of land that included the entirety of the present
stat e
of Ke n tucky and most of what is now West Virginia, Ohio,
Indi a n a, and Illi nois.
George
Washing ton,
Patrick Henry , Thomas Jefferson, and
oth er
prominent Virginians either appeared in Fincastle or sent
thei r
age nts
to
lay claim to tracts of wilderness lands.
Thous a nd s
of
Swiss, German, and Scotch- Irish pioneers passed
throu g h
on their way down the great Valley Road which traversed
the
famed
Shena ndoah Valley to settle the western frontier
country.
Combining
the talents of German craftsmen and Scotch-Irish
merchan ts
and
lawyers,
Fincastle built a town of
well
proportion ed houses and pub tic buildings, a substantial number of
which
still
survive.
Courthouse Square contains the
old
Jeffersoni an Courthouse, a Gothic style jail, and the old Western
Ho tel.
Thr ee
antebellum and two late nineteenth century churches
still
s e rve their congregations.
The narrow streets are lined
with a mixture of architectural styles.
Homes of early smiths
wagonmak e rs,
and sadlers were.usually m~de of logs now clapboard
and shingle covered.
Commercial establishments and homes of the
mor e wea 1 thy were made of brick.
The s u rrounding countryside is
also rich in frontier architecture and historic lore.
Realizing
the value of these old buildings and the heritage
of the town, His t6r ic F inc as tle, Inc· was organized in 1968. The
objectiv es
of
the organization are to pres7rve the buildings,
encourage res toration,
and educate the public to the importance
of its past.
.
One
of
t h e first projects accomplished by H.F.I. was the
restoration of the "Bar Build~ng '.' , ~part of the Western Hotel,
after a severe fire.
The building is now used by the county for
off ices.
H.F . I.
has purchased and resold "The Douglas House",
"Th e Crowder House",
and Hayth' s Hotel' all now with protective
covenants.
A typical Victorian g~zebo was constructed on the Big
Spring
lo t,
an ever-present rem~nder of days gone by.
Under
recons true tion now is a l&lt;:&gt;g cc:bin on Mur:ay Street dating from
the
1 ate 1 700 's.
The cab in wi 11 be furnished in an authentic
manner
and wi ll be open to the public when completed.
The rear
wing will be used as the administrative office for H.F.I.
Walking
tours of Fincastle are conducted by guides for a
nominal fee.
The Botetourt County Museum and the Courthouse are
of great interest .
Special consideration is given to tours for
school children.
At
this
writing H.F . I .
is making plans to establish
genealogical archives.
Many people come to Fincastle to research
the
Bot eto u rt County records for their "roots" .
H. F.I. would
Virg1nia AP~ Noties

like
to give additional help by h aving
l oc al
genealog i e s
available to the public.
Historic Fincastle, Inc. is carrying o u t its objecti v es with
money raised from donations,
sponsorship of the Fincast l e
Arts
and Crafts Festival, and the sale of Fincast le so uv e ni rs .

fine teeth , rapid of speech , and of genteel address. He had on when he
escaped, a very good blue cloth coat, and eorded pantaloons of very wide
stripe , much wo:rn, and a pair of old square toed boots and coarse white
fur hat somewhat bell' crowned. The said Thomas S. Gardn er is 22 years old

stoop- shouldered and awkward in his appearance. He had on when he escaped
an ol d brown cloth coat nearly wo:rn out, and pantaloons of the same fabric

under way For our 1985 Workshop and it will have a lot to oFFer.

Floyd County Library Building Fund.
Members living nearby and using the Virginia Room are encouraged to
oFFer their assistance to Mrs. Tuckwiller, librarian, in her projects to
make the materials in the library more easily accessible to all patrons.
We are especially interested in the project oF cross-indexing the reFerences
to Families mentioned in Family history books which are not identi Fled by
the titles oF these books.
Attendance at our lest two meetings has increased.

The Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society meets the 3rd Saturday of each
month at the Roanoke City Public Library located in Elmwood Park. We meet in
the auditorium (same place as before) but it is now on the first floor instead
of the basement .
(they changed the ~umbers of the floors.)
Come early

research in the Virginia Room - - and then meet with us at ls30pm.

�THE PRESIDENT 'S MESSAGE
Our Society is demonstrating an excellent beginning for the 1984 year which I
trust indicates we can look forward to attainment of our goals for the year .
We currentl y have a total of 507 members, including 52 new members who joined
this year.
Those who attended our last meeting on March 17th i n the street level
assembly hall of the Roanoke Public Library were rewarded with an excellent
presentation by Brenda Will iams on Craig County and the part played by its
soldiers in the Civil War. Miss Wil liams and Mrs. Jane Johnston have almost
completed their research on the above sub j ect, and those of us who have ancestors in Craig County look forward to their forthcoming book.
Our next meeting on April 21st at l:so pm will be held in our above
mentioned meeting place i n the Roanoke Public Library. Our speaker will be
Ruth G. Blevins who will give us a presentation on Giles County. This County,
adjoining Montgomery and Craig, was in the pathway of one of the immigration
trails west . This should be a most int eresting presentation. Plan to be
present.
A couple of weeks ago, I received a letter from one of our members who
lives in another state, congratulating the editor of our VAN, but adding that
it would be even more appreciated by our out of state members if we could have
additional space to publish our secretary's report . I have delivered this
letter to the editor and the publisher of our VAN . Perhaps they can give
favorable consideration to this suggestion.
Cordially,
Raymond Brickey, President

It was an ideal loca t ion t o b u il d d a ms to pro v ide po wer

A Gleb e was land

However , there we re no improvements on the

Mr Madison convinced them , that his
tract o n Rentfro Creek had improvements and was the tract they should
pu r:- cha s e .
In 1777 , the General Assembly authoriz e d the sale of the
Cloyd place, and the purchase of Mr Madison's .
So, beginning in 1777,
Mr Mad i son and the Vest r y considered the tract we are talking about,

Henr y Baker died in 1837, a nd the tract was divided between the heirs.
So me didn ' t lik e their parts , so a second survey was made on 23 April
183 8 .
The plat at the beginning of this article, was taken from that
surv ey .
At that time, this place was known as both The Glebe, and
Baker' s Mill ; and also Glebe Mi ll.

Now, l et me com ment,

briefly o n each of the partitioned lots.

Lot No. l, was 7 8 acres , a nd went to son, Christian Baker. I his was
the l ower part, a nd lay on both side s of Tinker cree, and included
the mouth of Rentfro Creek .
The s urveyor sometimes called Fentfro
Cree k, the Mil l branch of Tinker Creek. As I said, my home is in the
extr eme no rthwest corner of this lot.
Being raised to the miller trade
Christi an soo n built his own mill a nd mill dam, on this part. The
neighbor hood, then, began to be cal l ed Glei&gt;e Mills, with the "s".
The home he bui l t, at this place has been lately remodeled and restored and i s now the home of Mr Lawson.
Christian used the power
from his dam, not o nly to grind gra in, but also to card wool, and
later, to run the f l ake hominy mi 11.
As a child, my mother remembered
the f l ood wate r s that washe d out this lower dam.
It was never rebuilt
The fl ake hom in y mil l was moved to t.he upper building and was operated
by the po wer from the upper dam, for a number of years.
Lot No . 2, was 43 acres, "including the mill " and went to son John
Baker.
He was n ot much interested in the milling business, so sold
this part to other heirs and in-laws, and is said to have gone to the
State of Ohio, and never retu rned .
After some shuffling and movi ng
of division lines , among the k in folks, John Layman was the owner of 74
acres, which includ ed t h e mill.
He had possession of the 74 acres for
about 20 years, and built t he dwelling house that stood across the
creek from the Mi l 1.
Mr Layman so ld to the McClures in 1863; and the y
in 1873 sold 12 acres of it , including the mill and dwelling, with
other bu i 1 din gs attached, known as Gl ebe Mi 11 , to my great - grandfather,
Gi 1 es S. Thomas .
Then his son, my grandfather, CB "Fal 11 Thomas , purchased 5 acres, that adjoined the 12 acres, and was the northwest corner of Lot No. 1 .
When Gi les died, Grandpa bought out the other heirs,
and became the owner of the Glebe Mills tract , but continued to live
in the hous e he built on the 5 acres.
After the death of Giles, the
dwelling on the 12 acre part was used for several years as a canning
factory, and' then just for storage, until it began to decay, and became
unsafe, and had to be torn down.
That was a sad day.
Grandpa hired
Mr Goad, a neighbor , who came with his ~ule, to remove the logs, one
by one.
This was in the ninete en twenties .
A li t tl e late r, I will
tell you a little more about the mill buildin g.
lot No. 3, was 96 acres, and was assigned to the widow, Elizabeth Baker;
containing the dwelling house and old burying ground . The dwelling
was only about thirty-five yards from the Mill .
I rem ember the out ward appearance; it was two full stories tall , with a l arge chimney
in the center, and another on the right end. The lags had been covered
with clapboards, and was a lwa ys kept whitewashed . On it's front,
facing the mill, were four sma ll windows and th e door; just a plain
wooden door, nothing fancy .
The front porch was small. The ground
sloped away, so the steps to the porch were lon g, maybe thirteen or
so .
On each s id e of the steps were stubs of l arge locu st trees, whose

tops had been removed to protect the hous e.
Ea ch t r ee was cove red
by climbing ivy vines with red trumpet-shaped bloom s.
I was ne ve r
inside the house, but my mother spoke of i t as be in g p l ai n ly d e corated and like the outside, nothing fancy.
She was fasc i nated with
the ~nique stairway to the second floor .
It wa s very narrow , with
a door at bottom and top.
You entered near the l a r ge f ir eplace downstairs made two turns and came out near t he f ir e pla ce u pstairs .
Thus the stair circled the chimney.
It was tho ug h t by the l a t t er
owne;s that the left side of this house with th e cent r a l c himney,
was built by George Robinson, or his sons.
For so wa s t h e tra dition
passed down. After the Bakers made this their hom e, i t re ma in ed in
the hands of their descendants, until it was to wn d ow n.
He n ry Baker's
widow died in 1841, and their unmarried daught e r, Eli z ab et h , li v ed
there until she died in 1870 .
By her will, she c o n v e ye d to h e r niece
sarah'L Baker who soon married Abraham W. Peery.
From Pee r y , ow n e rship went to their daughter,_Bessie , who married a Mr Lon g, who replaced this stout old home with a more modern bun ga l ow, b ui lt on the
same foundation, in the nineteen twenties .
Lot No . . 4, was 90 acres and went to Jacob Layman.
Lo t No . 5, of 100
acres, went to Jacob Eversole . These last.mentioned lots we r e higher
up the creek , and, as far as I know, had little to do wi t h th e industry and business of the lower parts.
Now , l et me tell you about the las~ days of the Glebe Mill s building.
Yes , it was still known as Glebe Mills, even a fter the lo we r dame
went out. My Grandfather had brought his saw mill from the woods and
geared it to the water power; and ~lso ~uilt a bo x f a ctory , where
thin wooden boards were cut and nailed into boxes and crates .
I ha ve saved the most interesting part, at least the most interesting
to me .
I am told that the early pioneer, who wanted to build a dam, '
fe l led trees so they lay across the stream, some eight or ten feet
apa r t . The space between was then filled in with rocks and dirt .
this dam was also used as a way of crossing the stream , because whate ver t he power was used for; the crossing was needed.
The contour of
the gro u nd, a short way upstream from the mill site, indicates that
s uch a dam existed there. There is evidence that the area above this
dam filled up with mud, so that the dam at this place was useless.
Th e new dam was further up stream, and was constructed of hewn timbe r s a ncho r ed to the rocks by iron rods wedged into holes drilled
th e r e in.
Th e wat er f l o~ed s w ~ft~y from the dam , along a ditch , called a race,
t o nea r th e mi l l bulldi ng . Then it entered the trunk , a trough support e d on heavy wo ? d e n po s t - legs.
The trough, or trunk, made a U-turn
over the 18 f oot h lgh wat e r wheel.
In this way the water, after it
had rode the whee l down, would flow under it as it continued back to
t he main channel of the c r e e k .
Flowing under the wheel , would add
just a little to the hors e power developed .
The mill,
you might
size, but
One floor

it s elf, was o f br ick , a bout thirty - five feet square, and
say two a nd a ha lf fl oo rs tall .
The top floor was the same
the slope o f t he roof limit e d th e head room at the eaves .
was abou t t wel v e f ee t above the othe r .
There were two out-

side d oo r s .
Each was in t wo s ect i ons , so that on e ha lf could be opened and th e other remain sh u t .
The door at the back, opened onto the
g roun d, or l ower f l oo r .
T he front door was on the main, or second
floor.
The walls of the fir st floor were twenty inches thick, and
above tha t , s i xtee n i n ches .
The windows were small, and of two sixpane s as h es each .
The r e we re th r ee on the end with the wheel, five

Th e second flo o r wa s truly the central part of the operation.
The
nor th corn e r was partition e d off for an office, and contained a small
firepl ace in t h e corner.
As you entered the front door, from the
l oading dock, around the wall, in a clockwise direction, there was
Mr Baker ' s fl a ke hominy mill,
t hen the clea n ing mach iner y; then one
of the ston e burr mi 11 s, then alo ng most of the back wall was the
Genuine Japanese S il k Bolting Mach ine, that Grandpa in stalled a short
time before he c l osed the mill to public grinding.
Al ong one of the
office parti t i on walls was a large bin for the bulk storage of the
finished f lour .
Bet ween this bin and the Bolting Machine was the
machine to power-pack flo ur into barrels, for shipment; one hundred
and ninety- six pounds to the barrel.
In the center there was the
stairs, l eading down; the one l eadi ng up, was in the left corner of
the b a ck wall.
I n the center, by the stairs, was the biggest and
best burr mi 11 .
Now, come along wit h me as my Grandpa took me on my first guided tour.
He no long er g round for the public, but did gr ind for himself. On
this tour:t we ground some whole wheat midlings for the hogs.
I was
on l y about five years old, but I was a part of the operation .
I have
a l ways been interested in a ll k inds of machinery, so this day is a
high-light in my memory.
I was lifted up so I could stand in the
window si ll , a n d watch as he exp lained :t and showed me how to start
the mi 11.
The water gate was cranked open to just the ri gh t spot,
until the water got the wheel turning at a prett y good speed, then
c l osed to anoth~r spot where the speed was just right .
As the wheels,
in side and outs1de:t responded to the power of the water, the floor
shook, and the air was filled with groans and grow l s; but t hat was
as it s h ou l d b e.
We then went to the mill that was in the midd le o f
the floor, and opened a little door that a llow ed a trickle of wheat
to go into the top .
As the ground feed sl i d down t he shute, Grandpa
caught a 1 i ttl e, for testing between thumb and fo refin ger. After the
adjusting whee l was in exact l y the right position, I was again lifted
so I co u 1 d ca t c h some o f the feed i n my ha 11 d •
It was exp 1 a i n e d to me
that a good mi 11 er checked the fee d this way pretty often to be sure
it was fine enough and was not too fine and not getting too hot.
At
that age I was anxious to know al l about everything, and I believe
Grandpa was happy to te l 1 me .
He turned the Cleaning Machine on for
just a l i t t l e, so I could see how it work ed, how the fan blew away
the chaff and dust, how t h e three trays, each with different s i z e
ho l e s, shook back and forth as the g rai n passed along .
First th e

small holes allowed the fine dirt and dus t to fal l through.
The
next tray had holes a little larger , to let the sma ll est grai ns to
through. The next larger holes would l et the nice fat good gra ins to
onto the conveyor belt to the stora ge b in.
Anything too large to go
through any of the holes, went on over and_ fell.into the box t o be
thrown out. He didn't start the flake hominy mill, but did show me
how it worked. The bottom of the machine was round and sl i ts wi t h
sharp cutting edges similar to a hand shredder I had seen used in t he
kitchen, to shred cabbage for slaw.
When the softened corn ker n e ls
entered , wooden paddles turned and pushed them over the cutting ed ges,
which sliced them into very thin slices.
These sl i ces were then dr i ed
in the sun and stored.
Grandpa said somtimes these slices were toaste d
in the oven and became corn flakes.
Fo r the n ext s evera 1 year s , if
anyone asked what I was going to be whe n I grew up, the answer was sure
to have been, a miller.
I wanted to tell you these things while I still re member them, we ll .
That thing called Progress has removed so much of what u sed to be.
In
Robinson's time, the public road forded the Renfro Cr eek ju st a bove
the division line between Lots No. 1 and 2; a nd the mill was reached
by a lane that ran between the mill and t he Robinson home.
Hhen it was
decided to bridge the creek, the public road follo wed the mill lane
past the house and made a sharp turn back to t h e creek .
In the eariy
nineteen hundreds, the roller mill was developed, which turned out more
flour with less power, so the days of the old rock burr mi ll s were numbered. So repairs were not kept up on dam or mill .
In 1919
the
upper dam went out; the old shingle roo f of the building beg~n to leak
the woodwork began to rot, and the bricks be ga n to crum ble in places
'
ma k i n g i t u n s a f e for the s i g h ts e er ~ a n d the l i '!es to c k t h a t 9 r a ze d

around it. After some of the mach1~e~y, and fin e lumber was removed, char ge
charges of dynamite were placed at 1t_ s base, and Glebe Mills di e d.
that was a sad day in the nineteen thirties.
Several years after the building was gone, the road was changed a gain,
so that it now passes directly over the spot.
The spot of land will remain forever; the names man assign to it change;
the names of the people who pass by change; the names given the place
and the names of the people live on only in the memory .

This is the beginning of an effort to
a cquaint members of the Southwest
Virgini a Genealogical Society with
the contents of the extensive collection of surnames contained within
the files of our pedigree charts.
At this time we have seven volumes,
i ncluding one in which linear and
larger charts are f iled. · This last
Volume will be des ignated Volume A.
We shall begi n with Volume I and
will publish the chart surname with
all of the associated surnames within
a given chart (or charts) . If members
desire a speci al chart (or charts)
they can b~ dupli cated (at this time)
for fifteen (15) cents a page plus
postage.

As a representative of the ~VGS, I
(Babe Fowler) have - and am - teaching
a class in beginning genealogy at the
Ogden Senior Citizen Center -- all
ages. This clas s is taught at lOarn

people wanting a class on "How to
of Genealogy", I would see about
having a night class at the li b rary.
Call me at J45-8709 if you are i nterested.

THE BRICKEY HERITAGE
by
Raymond L. Brickey

From early researchers and the old Brickey Bible recently presented to the Virginia Room of the Roanoke Public Library, Roanoke, Va. , Jean Bricquet was the
progenitor of the Brickeys in the U.S.A. According to the 1815 Brickey Bible "
"John Brickey came from France with his wife about the year 1680 A. D.
His children were John, Jarard, Jinny, Mary and Peter . John had all
daughters. Jarad had one sone, John who died without children.
Peter married Winifred LUcas and ·had Jarard, John, Temperance , Wi nifred, Peter, William and Elizabeth."
The Brickey descendants are located in most of the states of the U. S.A . Those
migrating from Virginia to another state and their descendants will cary a prefix
of the state's two letter abbreviation before their index number .
There were Brickey Revolutionary War Patriots . Peter was too old to serve. He
received a citation for patriotic services for furnishing s uppli es to the militia.
William, Peter's son, was a "fifer" in the army. He was present a t the surrender
of Cornwallis. He received a pension of $50.00 annually in his old age. Peter,
the son of Jared and grandson of Peter 1st, served in the Botetourt County Militia on two occasions. His second wife received a land grant in Kentucky .
Gerard Jr., son of Jared and grandson of Peter, served in the Revolutionary Army
and was listed in the 1840 census as having received a pension.
The BRICKEY HERITAGE contains about 600 pages, well documented (copies of many
original documents) included and completely indexed. There are copies of some
pages from the old Brickey Bible. There are 60 pictures in the book. The
author has researched the Brickey and many allied families for more than ten
years. The book has a hard cover and the price is $J9. 95. Order from s
Raymond L. Brickey, J641 Winding Way Road SW, Roanoke, VA 24015.

1850 CENSUS OF HALIFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA

.. l?Y

Marian Dodson Chiarito
The 1850 Census for Halifax Co. , Va, was transcribed from microcopy 4J2 of the
original returns of the Assistant Marshals published by the National Archives
in 1964. The boundaries of the county were the same as exist today, but a
separate census was recorded for the Northern and Southern Districts.
The 1850 census is one of the first records beginning family history searchers
consult, since the data they find can be used to entirely or partially reconstitute families. The census includes all members of the household, age, sex, race,
value of real estate, occupation, place of birth and other miscellaneous information. The surnames of all inhabitants have been indexed. The book is paperbound, 270 pages, and the price is $16 . 00 postpaid. A gift copy from the author
has been placed in the Virginia Room of the Roanoke City Public Library. Order

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSA GE
During a period in December and again in the earl y part of January as I was pondering how best I could serve our Society as President, an idea came to me. First ,
I need to determine the purpose of this association.
Surprisingly , I found it in
one line of article I, Section I of our by laws.

'

~

"
to encourage, foster and organize genealogical research, tea ching,
publishing, educating and recording; "
when I have a conversation with old friends and new acquaintences a nd t hey lea rn
of my hobby of genealogical research of the Brickeys, a great portion will r emark :
"I started reseaching my ancestors but I hit a snag and put the matter aside."
Others will remark, "I want to research my family tree but I don't know how to ge t
started."
This tells me a lot of u3 want to know more about our ances tors and the part they

played in our nations history.
lesson #1, we need to let these people know about our Society and how we can help
them,

I plan to use this space in future issues of the VAN to suggest other ways and
give direction as to how we can best serve our purpose.
On January 21st at our regular meeting, Mr. Joe Barnett brought us an excellent
message, in spite of equipment failure, on Computerized Genealogy. I was surprised
to learn the number of our members present that use personal computers in recording
their research.
Plan to be present at our next regular meeting, February 18th, l:JO P.M. at our
present meeting location in the Jefferson Street Baptist Church . Mr. Roger Ekirch,
Associate Professor of History - VPI, will be our speaker on "ColoniaJ Ruffians·"
You don't want to miss this one.
Should you have overlooked mailing your dues for 1984 to-date, you will probably
be getting a reminder soon. Don't lay it aside. Mail your check.
Write or personally advise me of any suggestions that you have.
Raymond Brickey, President

CASSEL BIBLE
Contributed by
Colonel William Preston Chapter NSDAR
Roanoke, Virginia
The Bible offered to the National DAR Museum (N ov 6 , 1964 ) by Anne
Shelor Kennett, past regent of the Colonel William Preston Chapter , DAR ,
and her sister, Kathleen Shelor Bibb, was printed in Edinburg, Scotland
in 1752 by Adrian Watkins, m .s Majesty ' s Printer, making it a quarter of
a century older than the Declaration of Independence . It was imported by
the Cassel family which had come to Philadelphia in 1686 on the ''Jefries"
after a voyage of seven months . They had come in res ponse to the invita~ion of William Penn who, knowing of the miserable political conditions
in Germany, had gone there to seek settlers for his Pennsylvania colony.
The original owner of the Bible was a young girl, Deborah Cassel,
a ~ifth generation American , who was a war prisoner with her parents in
Philadelphia when the British occupied the city.
It was in her possession
there wher. the Declaration of Independence was signed and when the Liberty
Bell was first rung. During the time that the British held the city the
Cassels were forced to burn their mahogany furniture to provide fuel for
heat .
Across the .Delaware River, three miles from Philadelphia, in Gloucester, N.J., lived John-Banks, son of Capt. Richard Banks, who in Septem~e7 1776, at the age of 19 years, followed the example of his father and
Joined Washington's Continental Line . In December of 1776 John Banks was
stationed in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and there first saw General
Washington, John Banks was in one of the many crafts of various types
in Washington's famous Christmas night crossing of the Delaware , and participated in the taking of the 900 Hessians at the battle of Trenton
December 26, 1776, and wen~ with the army to Princeton where the Americans
won another battle.
Later, on March 9, John Banks was taken prisoner by the British.
His Captain (John Cozens) was also taken prisoner. Both were detained
three months in Philadelphia , at that time occupied by the British . On
June 17, 1778, the prisoners were taken by water to New York City.
The
British evacuated Philadelphia the next day, following the news that
France had become an ally of the colonies. Three weeks later, July 7,
1778 there was a prisoner exchange, and John Banks returned to his home
in _Gloucester, N.J. On July 1J, 1778 he and Deborah Cassel, of Philadelphia were married. It is probable that the young couple had met during
peaceful colonial days and had found a way to continue their romance
While both were war prisoners in Philadelphia.
During his eight tour in the Continental Army John Banks was made a
sergeant, and his last military service was in guarding the salt mines on
the coast of New Jersey.
After their marriage Deborah (Cassel ) and John Banks lived in Gloucester, N.J., but later, hoping to acquire a large tract of land for
their he irs, they emigrated southward, s topping for a time in Frederick
County, Maryland, then in Shenandoah CoWlty, Va., and then moved on to
Montgomery County, Va. Land was cheap here, and Deborah found that she

could buy a 1arm with one of the handsome coverlets she had brought with
her from Philad~lpr.ia. , as the se ttlers there had never before seen such
fine handiwork .
It is sa i d that in this way she bought farms for several
of her children .
Wherever they went Deborah took wi th her the Bible which had been a
present from her parents .
Attesting to the care which she gave it, is
the ori g inal leather b inding which is still intact al though the Bible
has been in constant use fo r a bout 2 10 years . It contains records of
the births of the twelve children of Deborah and John Banks as well as

A FRONTI ER MU RDER
by
Theodosia W.

Barrett

"One of the most intriguing and complex murder cas es in the early history
of Southwest Virginia was perpetrated September 27, 1817 at Dickens ons
Ford on Clinch River near where Russell and Tazew e ll Counties mee t.
Abner Vance committed the murder.
Lewis Horton was the c as ualty."
The
sector of Clinch Valley was an isolated, uniqu e and scenic locale in the
1700s.
Very few settlers dared to invade the Cherokee-Shawnee hu nting
grounds before the Revolutionary war.
Many of ch e permanent settlers
arrived in the late 1700s.
They were a mixture of Scot - I rish, Dutch,
Germans and possibly others.
They were attracted to the remote southwest Virginia for various reasons.
The pioneers coped with the hardships and privations of frontier living
in a remarkable manner.
By combining their skill s by 1817 the wi lderness
had been transformed into a progressive community of picturesque plantation homesteads.
Lewis Horton was a descende nt of two early Clinch Valley fa milies, the
Hortons and Kendricks from Stafford County, Va.
There is no known record
of Abner Vance 's coming to Clinch Valley.
He marrie d in to the Howard
family, who was a promi nent early fami l y.
He had eleven childre n.
Abner
Vance, according to Russell County Court records was an esteemed c i tizen,
Baptist preacher, poet, Indian fighter and long hunter~ fought a losing
battle through a series of trials to save his life.
Mrs Barrett has a documented 1 i st of Source material.
The book has a
soft cover, 35 pages, price $3 .00, including tax and postaae.
Order
from:
Theodosia H. Barrett, PO Box 1045, Lebanon, Va. 24266.

�AUGUSTA COUN TY, VIRGINIA
The speaker at our Au gu st meeti n g was Mrs Katherine Bushman of Staunton, Va, who gave u s the following information on Augusta County and
the records that are found in Augusta County.
(following furni shed by Staunto n-Augusta Co. Chamber of Commerce,
Staunton, Va .)

Augusta County was formed in 1738, named for Augusta, Princess of
Wales, mother of King George III.

I

f

For 46 years Augusta County included all lan ds north to the Great
Lakes and West to the Mississippi River, no doubt the largest county
in history.
This area was relinquished March 3, 1784 by the presidential signing of the Cession of Western Lands Treaty, now on permanent
display in the Virginia exhibit, National Archives Building , Washington .
All court records of this vast area during that period are now housed
in the Augusta County Court House , Staunton.

(Mrs Bushman's talk)
Augusta County, Va. was created in 17 38 from Oran ge Co.
S imu l tan eously, the s ister count y of Frederick was cre ate d in the lower half
o f the Shenandoah Val ley.
Until 1770, when Botetourt was set off , Au g u sta v1as th e l a r g est
county in history -- st re tching to the Mi ss i ssippi o n t h e west and
no r t h t h r o u g h I 1 1 i n o i s a n d a p a r t o f ~J i s c o n s i n .
Al t h o a c o u n t y ; n
1738, ther e was no courthouse here in
Beverley ' s Mi l l - p l ace ", as
Sta un ton was known, until 1745.
Cons equently , c ourthouse r e cords be gin in 1745. The first seven years re co r ds are stil l fou n d in Orang e.
The name, Augu st a, was give n to the coun ty in honor o f th e Princess
of Wales, mother of George III .
11

Pres ent day Augu sta County is the secon d l a r gest cou n t y in Virgi nia
- - exceeded in area on l y by Pittsylvani a Co u nty.
Muc h of the county
embraces the boundaries of the Beverle y Ma n or gra n t o bt a ined by Wi lliam Beverley of Essex County in 1736.
The counties of th e Great Va ll ey of Virginia (includes both t h e Shenandoah and southwest Virginia to the Tennessee a nd Kentucky borders)
which were or i g in a ll y a part of Augusta county a re Botetourt, Mo ntgomery, Washi n gton, Rockbridge, Rockingham, Bat h, Alleghany, Roanoke ,
Pulaski, Wythe, Ta z ewe ll , Giles, Rus sell, Lee, Bl a nd, Di ck enson, Scott,
Wise, Buchanan, Highland .
The state of Ke ntucky was a county in Va.
from 1776 until it became a state in 1792.
Many counties in present
day West Virg inia were once a part of Augusta County.
Another large grant which w~s a part of August~ Co. was the Borde n
grant -- the lands being in present day Rockbridg e and Botetourt
counties.
This part of the great She nando ah Valley was settled by t he Scots Iris h and Germa ns -- mo st of whom came from Penns y lvania, Maryl a.nd
and Delaware beginning in 173 2.
Both peoples were st urd ay in ch a racter, strength and religion.
Th ey had to be.stron g to e ndu re the
rigors of this western frontier.
The co lon1 a l gover nm ent encou raged
them to sett l e in t he Valley -- partly so that they wo uld be buffer
between the English on the east of the Blue Ridge and the Indians .
Names prominent i n ear l y development were Adam Mill er,
cisco, Col. James Patton, and John Lewis and hi s sons.

Stop h e l

Fran-

The two oldest Presbyterian Churches in Vi rginia are loc ated in Augusta Co. -- Augusta Stone at Fo rt Defiance and Tinklin g Spr ing at
Fishersville -- both found ed c irca 1740 , and bot h st ill flourishing.
In the early days of settleme n t, Stau n ton was called Beverley's Millplace .
By 1761, the name Sta u nton was chosen -- to ho nor Lady S taun ton, wife of Governor Gooch, a popular colonial governor .
Sta unton
was incorporate d in 1871, and since 1878 , the city government has
occupied the present city hall -- originally the Grange Ha ll .
In
1908, the city manager form of government was o rig inat~d in Stau nton.

FREE FAMIL Y TREE

Mr Jerry Duncan, of El Monte, Calif, whose ancestors c a me fro m th is

area, has publ ishe d a book on the McClure fa mily, and ; s givi ng co pies
away.

That's ri ght, they are absolutely

free~~

With the McClures and Duncans, the 118 pages name other fami l ies :
Brug hs, Sprinkles, Campers, Bol tons, Honts, Bu r tons, etc .
Th ere are
pictures.
Charles Burton, our local geneal ogist , is placing copies in our
libraries, and will have a few co pi es for anyone int ere sted.

�GILES COUNTY, VIRGI NI A

Si nce many of ou r r e a ders have never been in a court house or have
access to origin a l documents, we thought t ha t we would show some
examples of wh at a few of the doc ume nts look ed like . We believe that
this wi ll al so s h ow : 1. Why it takes so long to do research in the
court house.
2. Why it is so easy to miss a name . 3. To read a wor d
wrong or t o ch ange y our mind about the word on rereading the doc um ent .
And readi ng the docume nts on microfilm i s even worse because water
damage a nd y e ll o win g of the paper shows up dark or the ink has faded
so the camera will not pick it up.
The documents shown are a dec l arat ion, summo ns, arrest warran t, loan,
and a bail bond .
Following the copies, we have typed all the pa pe r s
invol ved in the court case -- or t hose that have survi ved . Be fo re
l ooking a t t he ty pe version of the doc uments, you should "t ransla t e "
them and compare your version wit h ours .

For those of you who could
not make it - see what you

can find yourself ,
The talks were good , people
wonderful, new and old friends
and not enough money to buy
the books and maps that I
(we) wanted .

��GENEAL OG I CAL WORKSHOP
The Ffrst United Methodist Church in Salem was the scene of the annual
workshop sponsored by the Southwestern Genea l ogi cal Society on July 16 , 1983 .
Among the day ' s activities was an o uts tandi ng book fair where part icipants
browsed , purchased books and supplies and met a uthors of local hi~tory and
genealogical works . As usual , the work s hop aff orded opportuniti1 • for renewing
old aqua intances and making new friend s . Pa r t i c i pants came fro~ all o ver
Virginia and several came from out of s t a t e . The door priz e for the person who
traveled the longest distance went to J acqu e line Kinn of Tit fin, Uttio . The
highlight of the day was the two outs tandin g s peakers - - J ohn Frederick Do rman
and Richard K. MacMaster .
Mr. Dorman , the editor of " Virginia Genealogi st , 11 s pok e in the morn ing
session on the topic, " Using Federal Revolutionary War Pe n s ion Records . 11 I n
a very in teresting and informative presentation, Mr . Dorma n stressed how impo r tant it is for those doing research to know the orig i n of legi slation which
created the records they are using. He gave an ove rv iew of the federal pension
laws of 1818 , 1820 , 1828 and 1832 indicating what kind of information a re searcher would find in these records . Mr . Dorman poin ted out the s ignificance
of these records for historians who are trying to r ecreate the social history
of a certain period and place. He suggested that th ose doing genealogical
research should seek to find out as much as possible a bout the time period in
which the persons being researched lived .
Mr . Dorman indicated that the National Archives has t wo mi crofilm col l e c tions of the federal pension records and warned that one o f these ha s se lected
records, therefore the researcf-er needs to indicate that he / s h e wishes to rece ive
every paper in the file when requesting the records .
In the second morning session , Mr . Dorman discussed the topic , " Cert i f ication of Genealogists." As an officer of the Board f or Certif i cation of
Genealogists , he was able to give the group information abo u t t h e p u rpose of
the Board. the categories of certification, and the procedure fo r obta ining
certification. The four categories are : Certified Genealogi s t ( C. G. );
Genealogical Records Searcher (C . G. R. S . ) ; American Lineage Specia li s t (C.A.L . S) ;
and American Indian Lineage Specialist (C . A.I .L. S .) .
Richard K. MacMaster , Associate Professor of History at Jame s Ma dison
University, conducted a very informative session in the afternoon. Hi s t opic
was, "Church and County Records of Shenandoah and Rockingham Counti es . 11 Mr .
MacMaster discussed the importance of genealogical resear~h to the d e v e lopment
of local histories and especially its importance in relation to th e e mphasis
placed on social history in recent years . MacMaster t~lked_about sev e r a l
exciting projects developed by the Shenandoah Valley Historical In s titute , a
consortium involving cooperative work among historical societies, the history
professors at colleges in the area\ and people in the community involved in
genealogical research.
In rjiscussing the records of Shenandoah and Rockingham counti es , Mr.
MacMaster pointed out the diversity of the religious and ethnic groups who
settl ed there. He gave an overview of the church and court records a nd e nu mera ted some sources that would aid the researcher. For example, he noted
t hat many of the men in the Shenandoah Valley refused militia service because
of their religious beliefs and this led to much correspondence back and forth
about why they could not serve. Another source would be the delinquent fine
lists for people who would not serve in t he militia as well as lists of pers ons fined for missing drill.
Both of the works hop speakers were informative and challenging. Their
presentations made the day a truly worthwhile learning experience .

moved to the part of Rowan County, North Carolina, that is no w Davidson County . From ' t he re t hey moved (abou t 18 10)
to Tennessee where they lived a while before moving to Washington County, Indiana, (were t here as early as Aug . 1816)
where William SANDY died of tuberculosis in early 1826. Catherine died in Apr . 1845 and was bu ri ed in the Stierwalt
Cemete r y near Paragon, Morgar. County, Indiana . William and Catherine (BECK) SAND Y ha d the following children :

REQUES TS FOR RESEARCH :
Our research is made in our library. NO One should
ask for material on John Henderson of Virginia -- we need dates, county ( area)
--give us something to go on.
Remember early Virginia went to the Mississippi
River - later included Kentucky , West Virginia , part of North Carolina, Tennesse , Maryl and , and Pennsylvania (disputes over the boundaries) . So when you

�..
THE BOOTHE FAMILY OF FLOYD COUNTY, VIRGI NIA
by George Pesely

*

George Boothe (1737-1813) and .his wife Millie settled in Mon tgomery
County, Virginia (the parent count y of Floyd Co.), s hortl y before
1787. Their known children are Isaac, Millie, George Jr., Abijah,
Daniel, and Tamar.
For many years Millie Boothe's maiden name has incorrectly been
thought to be Carroll. I recently found a query by a John T. Booth
of Wyoming, Ohio, in the NEW ENGLAND HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL
REGISTER for 1877 which reads in part: 11 I find one George Booth who
is said to have married a Millie Wright or Rite, and with a brother
Stephen lived in or near Rye, Westchest~r Co. , N. Y•• . • From Rye, N. Y. ,
he moved to Montgomery Co . , Va." (vol . 31, p. 225). The maiden name
Wright is confirmed by the name of 8 grandson, Wright Boothe.
Stephen Boothe lived for some years in Montgomery Co. before moving
to the "north side of Clinch mountain" in Russell Co. , Va. , where he
died in 1815. His will names his wife, Nancy, and his children
William,' Jerutia (Elkins), Anny (Bishop), Rachel (Dickson) , Stephen,
James, and Joseph, and the widow of his son David (VIRGI NIA MAGAZINE
OF HISTORY, 1927, vol . 35, p. 196). The marriage records of
Montgomery Co., Va., include the marriages of Elijah Elkin s and
Jerusha Booth (daughter of Stephen and Nancy Booth), Nov. 28, 1789;
George Bishop and Nancy Booth (daughter of Stephen and Nancy Booth),
June 28, 1790; James Dixon and Rachel Boothe (Steph e n Boothe,
witness), Dec. 11, 1799; and Stephen Boothe and Polly Boothe (no
parents' names), Jan. 1, 1799 .
John T. Booth had been in .contact with descendants either of George
or of Stephen Boothe, and commented that "his descendant s think he
came direct from England, bu\ are not positive."
This point has not yet been resolved. It is possible that George and
Stephen Boothe were descended from earlier soothes i n that part of
New York, or they may have been related to the numerous Booths of
nearby Fairfield Co., Conn. A Richard Booth settled at Stratford
in that county in 1639. By one tradition this Richard Booth was
a close relative of the Earls of Warringt~n (NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL
AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD, 1901, vol. 32, p. 240).
In 1867 some descendants of George Boothe living in Lawrence Co. ,
Ohio, formed an association to investigate their legal heirship to
an estate reportedly left them by their ancestors in England
(IRONTON JOURNAL, Sept. 18, 1867; contributed by Robert M. Willis).
The outcome of this investigation is not known.

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

�Re portedly a barrister from England came to Floyd Co. and to ld the
Soothes there of their supposed estate in England.
Possibly this is
what inspired the investigation by the Boothe descendants in Lawrence
Co . , Ohio .
In any event, stories were current in the late 19th
c entury telling why George Boothe had come to America.
Th e basic version of the story is that, at the age of 12 or 14, Geo rge
Boothe was with some boys who were showing off their strength .
George
moved a stone which happened to be a landmark or a cornerstone to a
piece of property.
For this deed he was liable to th e death penalty,
and so he was sent to America, either secretly or because of the
Ki ng's clemency.
In t~e more elaborate versions of the story, George is said ta have
been the son of Sir George Booth, second Earl of Warringto n, and to
h ave li ved for some years with Booth relatives in Gloucester Co., Va.
In fact, Sir George Booth (1675 - 1758) had only one child, a daughter,
and there is no reliable evidence that the Booths of Gloucester Co. ,
a pro minent family in the Coloniai period, were related to the Soothes
of Floyd Co.
It should be borne in mind that there was a great
int erest in 19th- century America in rumors of estates in England
which were being held in abeyance or which had passed to false claiman ts
b e c ause the rightful heirs in America were unable to prove their claim.
So there may be nothing of substance b ehind the legends ab ou t Ge orge
Boothe.
Acc ording to Olivia Simmons Keesee (1870-1944), the first descendant
of George Boothe to join the DAR, George Boothe was born in Sandwich,
Kent, England.
In 1980 I was able to examine a complete transcript
of the Sandwich parish rec ords, kept at Maidstone, Kent.
There was
no George Boothe listed.
Curiously enough, some of Millie Boothe's
ancestors may hav e lived for a time in Sandwich, Mass. Pe r haps that
is the o r igin of that detail.
The will of Danie l Wright o f the Manor of Cortlandt, Westchester Co.,
N.Y., writ ten i n 1777 (with a codicil dated 1781), mentions "the land
which I purchased of Ge orge Booth" (New York Historical Society,
Collections , vol. 33, p . 240 ) .
One of Daniel Wright's daughters was
named "Miloson" (Millicent) .
Quite possibly Millie Boothe was a
sister of this Daniel Wright.
Daniel Wright uses the Quaker dating
formula .
Probably both Daniel and Millie were descended from the
Wright s of Oyste r Bay, N. Y., wh ich is across the Long Island Sound
from Rye.
These Wrights had come from Sandwich, Mass., in 1653, and
were prominen t Quakers ( see ''Th e Wright Family of Oyster Bay, L.l.,"

NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD, 1872, vol. 3, pp. 35-45 ).
There was considerable e migra tion from the Oyster Bay area to
Westchester Co.
Isaac Boothe's first wife was named Freelove, and
Oyst er Bay is one of the few places where this name was common.

Beginning in 1787, George Boothe acqui red more than 1300 acres in
Montgomery Co. (See Netti Schreiner-Yantis , MONTGOMERY COUNTY, VIRG I NI A
--CIRCA 1790.) He is lis t ed in the 1 810 cens us of Montgomery Co . , and
he was still alive in March 1813 (Mon tgomery Co . De eds, Book E , 341) •
Millie Boothe is last found in Janu a r y 1815 when she was a witness t o
a marriage. Both George and . Mi ll ie Boothe a r e said to be buried in
the Simmons Cemetery in Floyd Co. Mrs . Linvi l G. Rich made a thoro u g h
search of this cemetery in 19 75 b ut found n o gravestones earlier tha n
1866 still legible.
Col. Lucian D. Booth's book, DESCE NDAN TS OF GEORGE BOOTHE, 1737- 1813 ,
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, VIRGINIA (1948), l ists mor e t h a n 1200 descendants
and contains a great deal of valu a ble informa t io n o n many lines.
There are copies in the Roanoke Public Library, the Virginia State
Library (Richmond), and the Los Angeles Pu blic Li br ary .

li sts 11 childr en of George Boothe : I saac, Geo r g e, Permelia ( Mi l li e ) ,
Abijah, Daniel, Elizabeth, Wrigh t Step hen, Elisha, Ne 11 1 e, an d Ri lay.
Of these, Elisha was actually a B~wma n , Nel l ie was a S i mmon s , and

was a young widow or (more likely) an er r or was mad e wh e n th e r e co r ds
were recopied. The Polly Boothe who marri e d S te p h e n Boo th e in 1799

REVIEWS

THE SALYER FAMILY
by
Eli zabeth L. WL Salyer
This is a history of the Sa],yers/Sallier family ln America ~ince 1655 .
The immigrant ancestor is thought to have been of French extraction , i t has
not been determined how his name may have originally been spelled .
The
history includes information from original court records , personally re searched by the author , explanation and documentation of records , old family
pictures , reproduction of original documents , confirmation of a name change ,
lineages numbered and cross-referenced and interesting stories about early
ancestors.
The Colonial era Salyers were located in New York , New Jersey , Chowan
County, N. C. and other western N. C, counties .
It seems from a ll records
that descendants of Zachariah Salyer, Sr. of N. C. went int o parts of Southwestern Virginia by 1780. These were Isiah Salyer Sr. of Russell Co , Va ,
John Salyer of Scott Co , Va , Zachariah Salyer Jr of Sco tt Co , Va , Martin
Dunn Salyer of Lincoln Co, Ky , Benjamin Salyer of Harlan Co , Ky , Sarah
Salyer Saylor of Harlan Co, Ky , and Rebecca Salyer Kilgore of Marion Co , TN.
In 1787 Isiah Salyer (1752-1818) settled on Copper Creek in Russell co ,
Va. His brothers , John , Benjamin , and Zachariah; sisters , Sarah, wife of
Solomon Saylor , and Rebecca , wife of Stephen Kilgore , settled on nea rby land .
The Salyers intermarried wi th Virginia peioneer families - Castle , Isaacs ,
Nickels , Stapleton , Vicars and Byerley , Recently , November 16, 1982 , an
historic marker honoring Isiah Salyer was erected on Virginia Hi ghway 71,
Russell County by the Virginia Department of Hig hways and Transportati on.
Kermit w Salyer of Roanoke , a great, great , great grands on of I siah Salyer
requested the marker, and provided proof of the data , with the help of
Elizabeth Salyer of West Palm Beach, Fla, and Dr Howard Salyer of Nashville ,

Tenn.

and who marri ed who. Please remember that the research is done by volunt eers
and therefore is limited , it cannot be a comprehensive research. Also pleas e enclose a self a ddressed stamped envelope (SASE)

VIRGINIAN ' S IDEA of The Uni ted States of America was distributed at the
time of the ?5th ' birthday ' of Roanoke City and having a copy of the
postcard, I thought that this would be a good time to reproduce it.
Under the ' Caution" on the map I would also add genealogy - - altho at one
Virginia did go to the Mississippi River -- so please remember that when
you. find that your ancestor was born in Virginia . Altho' there will be
few ancestors from that period of time -- what most people forget is that
until 1863 Virginia included West Virginia and that is still a large territory to cover.

(No te z The additional notes+ \1ere added by Mrs. Hagan -- some have a question
mark beside them . She also found that only 2 members of the present congregation were descendants ·of members of the congregation 100 years ago .
they are Jean Showalter , descended from the Watts ' family , and Mary Kucera ,
descended from the Berkley family . Other descendants of the 100 year ago
congregation are in the city - but as members of other churches.
The Episcopal ians of this area shared a little brick church with the Presbyterians in 1831 .
In 1840 , the Episcopal group moved to a vacant building
in Big Lick for its services and in 1850, built its own "House of Worship"
called St . John ' s - the first use of that name by this congregation. Consequently , I fee l that St. John ' s congregation is certainly one of the
oldest, if not the oldest , in the area.
Should the publication of this list evoke any inquiries, or new pieces of
knowl edge , I whould be very happy to receive them . Our early records are
scant and any information about our church in that era would be most welcome.)

to the ~ markets of the North. The
mineral deposits.. the chief gf which is
iron, are very nluable, and extensive
machine and iron and steel works have
recently. been establi..,hed at Roanoke,·
the former, in the construction of pas·
senger and freight cars, giving employ·
ment to 1,200 hands, and the latter
working to its full capacity of 100 tons
of pig iron ~r &lt;la)·. The mineral
springs, of "·h1ch there are several, en·

properb es of their waters. Of these the
Roanoke Red Sulphur and Botetourt
take precedence.
Salem, the countx seat, is a beautiful
and prosperous village on the north
bank of the Roanoke river and on the
line of the ~orfolk and Western R R,
178 miles southwest from Richmond.
The place is steadily growing in impor·
lance as a business centre, and with its
fine natural advantages and the railroad
connections soon to be consummated
at this point by the extension of the
Valley railroad. is destined to become a
populous and highly prosperous city.
Owing to itsdelightful location, Salem
has become very popular 33 a summer
resort, and its society during the sum·
mer months is greatly augmented bv
visitors from the more southern local·
ities.
Roanoke College, one of the young·
er, though one of the most ftourishing
institutions of leamin~ in the State, i5
located at Salem. It is a Lutheran in·
5titution, and its system is the regular

THE LAST WORD

May be -- the way my typewriter is acting up.
I will have to get it fixl
Doesn't anyone out there have a real nice typewriter to give away, such as
an IBM -- the one with the screen, memory bank , etc, etc. -- if ~ou do,
let me know and will accept with open arms.
Someone wrote and said that one of the marriages in the "Botetourt Co .
marriages" was not found by the researcher at the courthouse . These
bonds are the original ones that are still in the courthouse and have not
been checked against the marriage register and then the ' translation' that
we made may not agree with the names in the register. And then our translation may be wrong .
Again I must apologize for the lateness of VAN . Due to the illness of my
oldest sister, Virginia, and her unexpected death in September -- I am
v e xy much behind in everything . The material on Roanoke is incomplete
b u t hav e not had the time to collect and type all that I have or wanted to
g et.
The stories on early years of Roanoke ---- oh well, another time.
This i s s ue has not had the care and planning that is usually given to VAN,
so please forgiv e ----Babe Fowler, editor.

REQUES 'IS FOR RESEARCH: Our research is made in our library . NO One should
ask for material on John Henderson of Virginia -- we neeQ dates, county (area )
- - give us something to go on.
Remember early Virginia went to the Mis s i ssippi
River - later included Kentucky, West Virginia , part of' North Ca rolina, Tennesse, Maryland, and Pennsylvania (disputes over the boundaries) . So when you
say John Henderson was born in Virginia ----designate,-parents, children
and who married who. Please remember that the research is done by vol unteers
and therefore is limited, it cannot be a comprehensive researcro. Also please enclose a self addressed s tamped envelo,.Pe (SASE)

Faith in the Wisdom and Patritism of the Present Legislature, We humbly ask
that our Grievances may be remedied by Estibishing a Seperate Election Precinct at Indian Valley which is Situate midway between the Counties of Carroll
and Montgomery and the Pricinct at Lemon and known as the Burksfork Pricint,
and the County of Pulasky, and in the Center of a Populous Community , and
Cannot but be the best Situation for a Precinct for the Election of County
officers when the County is laid off into districts and your Petitioners
further represent that owing to the Great distances to any Election Precinct .
Many voters are deprived of enjoying the right of Suffrage, your Petitioners
Will ever Pray.

�THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION HAS A MONUMENT
FOR YOUR DECEASED MI LITARY VETERAN

by
Margaret Drody Thompson
A standard headstone or marker can be furnished, at government expense, for
your deceased veteran of WARTIME or PEACETIME service of honorable severance,
Also eligible may be members of reserve forces .
An unmarked grave for a Civil War Veteran in my family caused me to inquire
into this governmental program as a means of erecting a memorial to his
great sacrifice. He was mortally wounded at the Battle of Chicamauga in
Georgia.

Applicant need not be a member of the deceased's family, but should be
assured that the grave is UNMARKED . Government markers are not furnished
to supplement an existing monument , nor to reflect a veteran ' s honorable
military service. They may not be used as foot stones .
A variety of styles of markers are available including bronze, flat and
upright. If interested you may write asking for VA Form 4-0-1330 and marker
style sheet to:
Monument Service (42) , Veterans Administration , 810
Vermont Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20420.
'Ihe headstone or marker is shipped, without charge, to the person or firm
designated.
'Ihis program now under the Veterans Administration was begun many years ago
by the Adjutant General ' s Office of the US Government.

�CHEROKEE REMOVAL RECORIB
in the National Archives , Washington , D. C.
from material given out at the SVCS Jrd annual Workshop on May 17, 1980
Register of Cherokees who wished to remain in the ea s t. 2 Volumes .
These are arranged chronolog ically by date of reg i s tration of the
Cherokees who wished to remain in the Eas t 1s U. S . Citizens. There is
an alphabetical name index for some of t hese .
Emigration Rolls
18 Volumes.
This is a listing of Cherokees who wi s hed to e migrate , rolls of
actual emigrants , muster rolls of conducted parties, and lists of Indians
able to move by themselves. Some rolls a r e s i gned by the Indians and
constitute relinquishments of their lands in the east. Usually only
heads of families are listed, but often there i s s ome information conceniing the other members of the family. There a re alphabetical name
indexes for some rolls.
Easteni Cherokee Census Rolls -- 19 Volumes
Original rolls, copies of rolls , and alphabetical indexes. The
rolls were commonly known as follows :
Henderson Roll: This was the census of 1935*taken of the
Cherokees bef ore removal to the West.
Mullay Roll, 1848; Siler Roll , 1851; Chapman Roll, 1852;
Powell Roll, 1867 (no index); Swetland Rolls, 1869 (one roll
not indexed) and Hester Roll, 1884.
The Henderson Roll lists heads of families and gives inf'ormation
concerning the family and its property. Most of the other rolls were
made to determine eligibility for payments due under provisions of the
1835 Treaty.
1851 Old Settlers Roll
This is a roll made up of those old Cherokee settlers who were in
the west before the Trail of Tears or the emigration of the Eastern
group. The settlers of the west felt they should have a portion of the
fund allotted in the Treaty of 1935. The government did give them a
portion and a transcription and index to this is in microfilm roll 12,
microcopy 685.
On May 28, 1909 Guion Miller, special commissioner presented a final
roll of those Cherokee Indians who were eligible to participate in a
fund awarded to the Eastern Cherokees at the time of 1835-36 and 1845
or to their descendants.
The report consists of 10 volumes of findings on individual applications, arranged by application number. There are two volumes of
alphabetical index to names.

(The above was part of the talk given by Ms Pauline Dunn of the
National Archives.)
(*should this be 1835?)

This list is a guide or index to what is in your paperwork collection.
GET FILEDs

Label fo l ders to match subject headings and subdivis ions.
File papers neatly within folders in orderly fas hion.

USE YOUR FILE1
Place your file index at the front of your file.
Don't let papers accumulate -- file them.
Create new subject and subdivision headings as needed , always addi ng
them to your file index.
When feasible, use your file for appropriate non-paper items.
Use your file for all family paperwork. It is a family " central" file.
All papers will flow efficiently to and from it i f you will use i t .
Teach your children and your spouse to use your file.
Tailor the concept of the family records system to fit your family' s
needs.
(Editor's note: As Mr. Linder also used s lides, the above was the basis
for his lecture. How does the above apply to genealogy -- everyone has

�115

the above expenses -- but the needs of each genealogist is different. '.!be
beginner will not have as extensive a fi le as the one who has done research
longer.
As Mr. Linder said start NOW -- on your house file and your genealogical file .
Too expensive to buy a file and folders. Start with a cardboard box (paint it, use contact paper to cover it) and the folders -- or
manilla envelope makes temporary file folders. You have a friend - or
spouse - who works in an office, ask them to save you the old folders that
are to be thrown away. I wish I could think of everything that Mr. Linder
said -- and it takes me forever to transcribe a tape. We learn a lot -now to put it into practice -- today not tomorrow! !)

PIONEERS ON THE WES'IERN WA'IERS
by

Theodosia Wells Barrett
Indians lived in adjacent areas when the long hunters came to the northeastern section of Russell County, Virginiar an area the Indians called
"Middle Ground". It was the crossroads of several tribes of Indians who
inhabited the surrounding areas and met in the secluded forest retreat at
regular intervals to hold conferences and engage in hunting parties .
'Ihe beautiful Indian name for Clinch River was Pellissippi , which means
Son of waters . About the year 1769 Thomas Witten and a few other families
settled at Crab Orchard on the headwaters on the Clinch River now in Tazewell County. About the time the Upper Clinch settlements were made , Jacob
Castle left his home in Rockbridge County and wandered through the wilderness until he reached Lower Clinch Valley, where he traded a big knife to
a band of Indians for a large tract of land which was called "Castles
Woods" and later changed to Cas tlewood. He stayed here for a short time ,
trading his land to another tribe and resumed his wanderings.
Permanent settlers began to arrive in Castles Woods, among them were
Charles Bickley, James .Bush, Archelous Dickenson, Henry Dickenson , William
Fraley, Hen:ry Hamblin, Je-rry Harold, Richard Long, Henry Neece, James
Osborne, Simon Oscher , Samuel Porter, William Ritchie, William Robertson ,
and William Russ ell.
Settlers kept coming into Clinch Valley. By an act of the Virginia Legislature January 6, 1786, Washington County was divided into two counties .
The new county was Russell County, honoring General William Russell. The
first court was held in the home of William Robinson September 18 , 1787.
On September 19, 1787 the court convened in the new court house at Henry
Dickenson's plantation. It was a log structure, twenty feet by twenty
feet, a wood floor, benches and a rustic bar. Henry Dickenson was the
first clerk of the court.
Mid-Clinch Valley settlers began to arrive . Names as, Bal l, Elam, Fletcher,
Griffith, Honaker, Horton, Kendrick, Patrick, Sword , 'lhompson , Vance ,
Wells and Wilson were some of them.
Old family photos, homes and scenes of earl y towns are included. Brief
biographies are included of some notabl e citizens named Boyd , Dye, Elkins ,
Ford, Griffith, Hartsock, Hess, Lockhart 1 Mays Newberry, Spear, Whited
and others. A gift copy from the author has b~en placed in the Virginia
Room of the Roanoke City Public Library, Roanoke , Virginia . The book has
116 pages and a soft cover. The price of the book is $6. 00 and may be

RUSSELL COUNTY - A CONFERA 'IE BREADBASJ&lt;ET

by
Theodosia Wells Barrett
Russell County's role in the WAR BE'IWEEN THE STATES was unique. Not a
single full company of Union soldiers invaded the county during the war
years. There are no memorial battlefields as in many other parts of
Virginia.
Russ.ell County soldiers fought, died, and were left on numerous battlefields in Northern Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and
other areas . The County played a vital role as a Confederate breadbasket
and supplier of horses, clothing, and other essentials to the war. At
least 1450 were soldiers, others in the local militia and Horne Guards.
Many women were left to manage their homes when the men went to war.
Stories and pictures are included of Cynthia Hurt Barrett, Amanda Richardson, and Mahala Kiser Sutherland.
·
Mrs. Wells lists her source materials (books, court and census records).
Her most unusual find was the Muster Roll of Captain Simeon Hunt which
reached her by way of a flea market in North Carolina. This Muster Roll,
consisting of 12 officers and 74 privates, is listed. They were called
the NEWGARDEN FEARNO'IS and was a part of the 1st Regiment of Virginia
Volunteers. Slavery in Russell County is reviewed and the slave population
in the Russell County Census of 1820 is included.
Pictures are included of Lt. James H. Barrett, Mace Emmette Duff, Christopher C. (Kit) Richardson, C.L. Samples, (Rebel) Robert D. Silva, age 100,
(Yankee) Andrew J. Kiser, age 97, and Captain Bimeon Hunt. A group picture
of Confederate soldiers at Honaker (Russell Co.) in 1922 with Capt. J. W.
Baus ell.
The book has a hard cover, 144 pages and may be ordered from the author,
Mrs. Theodosia W. Barrett, PO Box 1045, Lebanon, VA 24266 (summer ~ddress).
After Nov. 1st the address will be 35 Palmas Drive, Edgewater, Fla . 32032.
The price of the book is $10 . 95 plus $1. 00 postage . A gift copy has been
placed in the Virginia Room of The Roanoke City Public Library.

LAST WORD
I owe an apology to the non-exchange quarterlies -- I have 'misplaced' the
list that was to go in the VAN. My "paper-eatin '" desk did it --I couldn't
do anything like that.
We received a letter requesting help --"looking for
p &amp; gp of John Doe , born --- believe in southern Va ••.• I have had the area
researched, finding Does but no John ••.•• " We cannot help anyone who writes
such a letter -- Our research is limited to what is in the library and on
a volunteer bases. Need name, dates, and location -- born in Virginia is
not enough. And there are NO birth and death dates filed in the state
records of Virginia until after 1853 in the counties and these are incomplete. The State started recording these records in 1912. We try to help
but don't ask us to do the impossible and then get mad when we don't do it.
We still love you - - because I have asked for the impossible too.

HERALDRY, THE ART AND SCIENCE OF BEARING ARMS
contributed by
John F Bullock, Jr .
"Azure a chevron argent between three mullets of the second. " That is the
everyday language of the heraldic artist , the artist who special izes in
HERALDRY , THE ART AND SCI ENCE OF BEARING ARMS . This language i s descended
from an archaic French which , in this case , descri bes a coat of anns of the
Hilliard family . In translation , this describes a blue shield with a silver
chevron between three silver star-shaped figures . The chevron takes its
shape from an ancient roof-tree and is frequently borne by those who have
buil t fortresses or churches, and the star-shaped figures refer to the rowel
of a knight's spu r.
In heraldry colors a s well as figures have a significance . In this case,
blue denotes truth, loyalty and patriotism , while silver i s symbolic of
purity, peace and sincerity .

There are five basic colors used in heraldry. They are red, bl ue , green,
bl ack and purple. In addition to these basic colors, the metals silver and
gold are also used . The color of some charges or objects found on arms is
described as "proper." This means that they a re shown in their natural or
normal colors .
In British heraldry especially, most coats of arms consist of at least one
of the five basic colors and one metal, displaying either a colored object
on a metallic background or a metal~ ic object on a colored background. The
main reason for this is that the shields were then easier to see, thus
allowing the knight , dressed in full combat regal ia, easy recognition by
both his enemies and fri ends . Otherwise , covered from head to tow with a
sui t of armor and helmet, the knight could never be identified.

The term "coat of arms " very logically derived from a fabric coat or cloak
the knight wore over his suit of armor . This coat displayed the same figures and colors shown on the knight ' s shield. It served both to identify
the knight and to protect his anr.or from the hot sun and cold weather.
The coa t of arms as we display it today consists of the shield , the helmet,
the crest, motto and lambrequin or mantling . Some are shown with animals
or other figu res on each side of the shield supporting it. 'Ihe mantling the design shown around the helmet and shield - represents the mantle or
cloth-covering the knight wore falling from his helmet around his neck and
shoulders. This also helped to protect his metal helmet from the hot sun
and cold wind. The inside of the mantle is s hown as the primary metal of
the s hield and the outside is shown as the primary color (being the cloth)
of the shield. The divisions seen i n the mantle represent the cuts and
slashes the kni ght received in his mantle from his enemy ' s sword.
Who has the right to display coat armor? Technically, the countries where
arms are ac tually granted, only the person to whom the arms was granted
and his direct heirs could bear the arms . Since Americans cannot be granted
arms by our g overnment, we, in a manner of speaking, "adopt" the anns from

�42

a known ancestor who had been granted an arms. Ii1 this case, one should
have evidence of his family's connection to the original bearer of the
arms . There are books that list American families which are directly descended from those Europeans who were granted arms .
Heraldry, in one sense , dates back to the dawn of the history of man , f or
when the first primitive man marked his crudely-made shield in such a way
as to identify himself, heraldry was born. But the science of heraldry
never reached its peak until the Middle Ages , especially during the Crusades (from 1096 to about 150 years thereafter), when thousands of
European knights, footsoldiers , churchmen, and even kings, joined ranks to
go to the Holy Land to rescue it from the infidel Saracens who had occupied
it.
The French were primarily responsible for establishing the science of coat
armor. Even today the descriptions of arms from which heraldic artists
work, though in English, have retained the original sentence structure and
many - new archaic - French words.
One outstanding continental European authority on coats of arms i s J.B.
Rietstap, while Sir Bernard Burke is one of the authorities on British
arms, Some other authorities on heraldry are: Fairbairn, DeBrett, Wade,
Boutell, Scott-Giles, Bolton, Crozier.
While the majority of continental arms were granted to royalty and the
aristocracy, the British granted arms to nobility and commoner alike .
An interesting story, whether true or 1not, tells of a farmer working in

his fields one day. He suddenly· heard a lady's screams for help coming
from the direction of a nearby stream. Upon arriving at the edge of the
stream, he discovered a lady rider who, while crossing the stream, had been
thrown from her horse into the water. In order to save her from drowning,
he dashed into the water, grasped her by her riding girdle or belt und
began to pull her from the water. In fear and desperation , she screamed
to him, "Hold fast, hold fast!" while he pulled her to the bank and safety .
Since she was a lady of noble birth and from a family of high standing and
influence, as a reward for saving her life, he was granted a coat of arms
bearing three buckles representing the buckles on her riding girdle and a
motto quoting, "Hold fast!"
Many coats of arms have a story behind them , and often, wherever possible,
display figures making a play on the family name, such as the three bulls '
heads on my own family coat of arms . Heraldry is both a fascinating and
revealing art and science.

Where did that man come from?
back? These would include the

Have you followed the migrations routes
roads and rivers ,, Would he have gone over
than likely around it. If the river was
the river and not try to cross it.

(Note: This volume may be found in a law library . Originally these cases
were tried in the local courts and appealed until they reached the Supreme
Court. Most, if not all, of the original documents in the Supreme Court
building in Richmond were destroyed by fire ~uring the Civil War.
The appeals -- consisting of the case, plantiffs , defendants, depositions
of each and witnesses, lawyers' please, judges' opinions, and verdict
may be listed. In some cases, the case may be only a half page or less
and no genealogical information given . Another could be 60 pages and
still no genealogical information, and in others a wealth of information
may be obtained. Names , dates, places, etc. of genealogical value in
the cases have been extracted and printed here.
Volume I has not been typed and proof read, but will be soon.)

CRAIG COUNTY , VIRGINIA
MARRIAGE RECORIB

'Ihe personnel in the Court House a't New Castle , Craig Co., Va. , told me that
the following marriages were not recorded in the marriage register. I did
not get a chance to check the register, so I do not know if any of them are
recorded.
During the Civil War, the Union Army was in New Castle and bunied
many of the books and records of the county. After the war, the Clerk of
Courts reconstructed the record books -- no one knows how many records were
not recorded because of~lost of original documents or death of the people
involved.
'~~
Following is a list of abbreviations used in the article:
Ty-pes of marriage records.
(A) Certificate to obtain a license
(B) Minis ter's certificate of
marriage
(C) Marriage License - has A, B, &amp;D
(D) Minister Return
b - born. If no birth place given , it
is Craig Co .
Cr. - Creek
d - days
dau - daughter
Lie. - license
m - months

Md - married
Min Ret - minister retuni
If not given, he is
0 - occupation.
a fanner .
p - parents
s - Single
w - widowed
wit - witness
y - years
res - residence. If not given, it
is Craig Co.

Pleas e remember, if possible, get a copy of the original document -- I am no
expert in reading the handwriting: I can come back later and decide that it
should be something else .
The following is a copy of (A) Certificate to obtain marriage license , (B)
Minister ' s certificate of Marriage, (C) Marriage License, and (D) the minister return has not been included because usually it was just a written note
or included in the Minister ' s Certificate of Marriage.
Mosl of the older record books of Craig County are of blue paper and the ink
has faded to a brown , so it almost impossible to zerox the pages. If copies
are required of deeds , wills , etc. , the records will have to typed. The
marriage records copied should be easy to ' zerox ' -- just remember that each
type of document i s a separate page.
New Castle (where the court house is located) is a small town and there are
a couple of quick order places to eat . One is across the street and down
from the court house and the other is on the edge of town. The clerk's
office is small but the personnel were very pleasant (when I was there) .

GIDEON MACON OF VIRGINIA AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDAN'IS

compiled by
Aletha Jane Macon
The Macon family of Virginia began with Gideon Macon , and English citizen
of French parentage, who became identified with the prominent people of
the New World and founded a family which has played a not unworthy part in
the history of our country .
The earliest definite references to Gideon Macon are found in the Court
Records of York County, showing that he was attorney-at-law in the county
as early as 1671. He was an Indian interpreter and served as secretary to
Sir William Berkeley , Gov~or of Virginia, during his second administration which ended in 1677, It seems that Gideon Macon arrived in Virginia
about 1670 and that he was at that time in his early twenties; so that the
year of his birth was about 1648 .
In religious affairs Gideon Macon seems to have taken an active part and

is listed as one of the earliest vestrymen of Bruton Parish Church, which
still stands in Williamsburg, Virginia .
He owned extensive acreage in New Kent , Henrico, and King and Queen
Counties. About 1680 he married Martha Woodward of King William County.
Gideon and Martha Woodward Macon were the parents of eight children, four
sons and four daughters, Gideon Macon Jr. , Anne, Martha, William, John,
James and two daughters , whose names were unknown.
The first section of the book gives eight generations of the Macon family
and one chapter of recent generations. The second section develops the
Allied familie~ of the Macon family which includes the families of Green,
Grimes , Hunt, Jack, Jones, .Thorn and Woodward.
'Ihere i s a bibliography and an index of 46 pages of individual names.
'Ihis is a revised edition of the 1956 Aletha Jane Macon edition by Arthur
J arvis Wood, Jr , 1979 and published by the Wilkes Publishing Company, Inc.
1981, Washington, Georgia. A gift copy to the SWVGS has been placed in
the Virginia Room of the Roanoke City Public Library. 'Ihe price of the
book is $20 . 00 and may be ordered from Mrs . Al Amundsen, 2 D Country Club

A PLACE APART
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE EARLY WILLIAMSON ROAD AND NORTH

ROANOKE VALLEY RESIDENTS AND PLACES
by
Helen R. Prillaman
Mark Evans arrived in the Big Lick area and Roanoke Valley about 1744 from
Pennsylvania . He married Katherine Thomas on June 17 , 1723 at Christ Church
in Philadelphia . With thousands of acres from which to choose , he took his
time and chose well lying fertile land fed by gushing springs. He built
his upended log home at Evans Spring.
Mark Evans died at Evans Spring in 1748 leaving his lands to three sons ,
Daniel , Nathaniel and Peter. His original grant was 1200 acres, but later
by survey proved to be 1910 acres.
There are a number of descendants of the Evans family in the Valley. Mr
Charles Burton of Botetourt County is a direct descendant of Peter Evans .
Early owners 0£ the Evans tract were James Breckinridge , John C. Griffith,
Charles Johnston and William Watts .
Early families that followed and contributed to the area were Betts , Bushong ,
Campbell, Cannaday, Fellers, Fleming, Garst , Harshbarger, McClanahan , Moomaw, Nelms, Nininger , Oliver , Petty, Read, Rudd, Stokes , and Williamson
(for whom the Williamson Road area is named) .
Community builders of the Williamson Road area continued to arrive at the
turn of the century. Some of the family names were Andrews, Bowman , Coulter ,
Epperley, Hansbrough, Huffman, Hunt, Lemon , Prillaman, Riley , and Woodson.
Miss Prillaman brings the early days of the area to life with her many
pictures and sketches -- Black Horse Tavern and "Bellvue", The Barren ' s
Mansion, Guildhall, "Greenridge" , ''Old Bushong House~· Tombstone Cemetery-The ~enton Stone , Grayholme , Huntington , Monterey and many others.
The book has 187 pages and is completely indexed .
A gift copy has been given to The Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society
by the author and is being placed in the Vinton Branch of the Roanoke County
Public Library .
The price of the book is $17.10, including postage and tax, and may be
ordered from:

�MISLED .BOOK BUYERS WARN OIBERS
by
Margaret Drody Thompson
WARNING has come from several who b.ave been misled into purchasing books
they believed were family histories , but were not ! They found no pertinent history or pedigrees in an irrelevant collection of information
pulled together under the guise of their surnames in the book's title.
There are many credible family histories being published of which their
members are proud to own. It i s important to know how to identify and
safely purchase these. Legitimate family historians will welcome your inquiries and should be able to provide proper descriptions or abstracts
that will give enough information for you to determine if the book relates
to your family in some way, accurately .
You may also ask for assistance from your local genealogical librarian,
genealog ical society , or historical society . Try to see a copy of the
book prior to purchase either in a library , through another member of the
family, or on an "approval" basis .
An Evaluation Guide for Purchasing Family Histories
What are seller interests (member of the family)? Reputable? Longestablished?
Is my satisfaction guaranteed , with adequate return information, if refund is desired?
Does it meet my needs? What are my criteria? (for instance: are my
ancestors in it? How? Does it list their origins? Vital statistics?
Is the information documented? Does the book have a bibliography? In
other words , are there things included about which you are most curious
or that will help your search?)
Does the book contain only begets? My pedigree (from me to my earliest
known ancestcr )? My family tree (my immediate kindred)? All i ed lines?
Does the book contain only general information that could pertain to
any su:rname in America?
. Does it contain only general history - or is specific history related
to my particular family?
If you are actively engaged in research , it is sometimes necessary to own
books of su:rname ' s lineages to eliminate unnecessary research on the ancestor of unknown decendancy. Or , if you are just begi nning research, a
book of pertinent lineage can be a touchstone from which you work. '!here
are various reasons for purchasing family history books, and it is important for you to first decide why you want or need a book prior to its
purchase , for economy.
Ancestor searching is becoming the popular new hobby of an increasing
number of Americans . Memberships in genealogical societies, ethnic associations , and family associations are growing. Unfortunavely, however, all
this inr.reased interest and monetary outlay is attracting the attent ion
of a few who are in terested only in capitalizing in the market , at the
expense of the unwary.

�Most involved with genealogy as a pastime or a profession
putable people, and with a little care and thoughtfulness
the unscrupulous. A cardinal guide is: It takes time to
family history . It is unique ! So, take a little time in
purchases will best meet your needs.

CHRISTIANSBURG HISTORY LIES IN RUIN
by Mary Bland Armistead

*

CHRISTIANSBURG: The way to the venerable Craig Family Cemetery is up a
hill from Park Street and through waisthigh growths of thistle and snaggy
blue wildflowers.
The path is hardly more than a depressed tracing through the hillside growth.
Once it was pretty well defined, but that was in the day when the old burying ground was in use as "the" cemetery for people of prominence in the
Christiansburg area.
Indeed, as M--rs. Roy H Collins points out, lots of older families were
buried there, and Mrs. Collins' family was one of· them.
Now Mrs. Collins, who lives in Christiansburg, is one of a small group
deploring the neglect of the in-town cemetery which has an un!mown age,
a known his+0rical value and a $2, 500 trust fund set up for its maintenance.
People are wanting to know what's happened to that money; the graveyard
has become the victim of vast and heedless abuse.
Mrs. Collins' grandparents, M. F. Akers and wire, are
of her great-grandparents, the Anderson Alleys .

~here,

and the remains

But their graves are disgraced by underbrush, their carefully carved
markers in shambles. A fallen tree enshrouds the plot in snags and :rustling leaves.
"It ' s a shame the grounds have gotten in this shape," Mrs. Collins comments.
And Mrs. Charles King of Roanoke says, "It hurts me to see this place • .,
In its jumble and desec ration by vandals and infrequent care lie her forebears who, ironical ly, had handed over aC'reag'e two centuries ago on which
Christiansburg would be built.
Mrs . King, her concern heightened by an wiusual genealogical motivation ,
walks carefull y around chunks of stones fallen into honeysuckle, long grasses
and old Virginia creeper vines. Under the tangle are her great-great-great
grandparents, James Craig and Anne Montgomery Craig, whose home was in
Hans Meadows, the territory on the headwaters of Crab Creek where Christians burg would rise.
'Ihe first courthouse Montgomery County ever had was built on land given
by this James Craig in 790, and the settlement of Christiansburg sprang

up two years later on the rest of his 175-acre gift.
Craig was a patriot and only 18 when he fought in the Battle of King ' s
Mountain. He was given fine lands in the newly formed Montgomery Cowi t y
in recognition for his war services . His son , Robert Craig, s erved in
the Virginia l egislature, and was elected later to Congress . Craig County
was named for him.
*Senior wri t er, Roanoke Times &amp; World-News, Sun . , Sept . 16, 1979

�M.-T"S. King says she was not aware of these historical vignettes until three
years ago when she started tracing her Craig and Bowyer lineages. Her research led to Christiansburg, and up the desolate hill, where she found
the spot where her ancestors lie.

Two years ago, their grave marker was undisturbed; today it is in fallen
ignominity, inscriptions eroded and decorative motifs nearly gone.
And there are graves of other people there whom history should not forget,
Someplace, under giant fir trees swiftly succumbing to age, is the grave
of John McHenry, who died in a duel with Thomas Lewis in May, 1808. His
grave was never marked; its site unknown today. But it's there.
'Ihomas Lewis died in that confrontation, too. It was said to be the first
duel with rifles known to have taken place in Virginia. It led to the
passage in January 1910 of the Barbour Bill outlaWing dueling in Virginia.
Lewis, a grandson of Gen. Andrew Lewis who is buried in Salem ' s Fast Hill
Cemetery, has an unmarked grave somewhere in Shawsville ' s Madison Cemetery.
There are Confederate veterans in the Craig cemetery, and the grave of
Lewis Miller, a Pennsylvania Dutch artist who wandered, notebook in hand,
through the mountains and valleys of the land, and left beguilingly vivid
sketches of the scenes he saw.
He roamed the Shenandoah Valley, through Big Lick and the Bennett Springs
area, and up the mountain to Montgomery County, where he had relatives
and places that interested him. He traveled abroad, too, always looking
and always drawing, but he returned many times to the Virginia scenes he
liked best.
Some of the best of his little pictures are on display in the Abby Aldrich
Rockefeller Folk Art Center in Williamsburg, for Lewis Miller has become
justly famous.
He was born in York, Pa., in 1796, and made a living as a house carpenter.
When his traveling days were over, he made his home wi th a niece, Mary
Sherwood Flagg, who, when he died in 1882, saw to his burial in t he old
Craig grounds on the hill near her Christiansburg home.
His stone, originarlly standing tall with an open Bible carved above the
letterings of his name and vital statistics, has toppl ed and broken now,
and grasses and wild strawberry vines thread its fallen pieces into a
random mosaic.
'!here are an estimated 50 graves in the area, and in many of them are
people who, as Mrs. King points out, "had the most to do with the building
of this town."
She shakes her head, "Here they are up on this hill, and neglected."

Mrs . Collins says her family is thinking about clearing its section of
the land, "but if the vandalism keeps up, we 're not interested." She speaks
of "motorcycle gangs riding up here and drinking beer," and Mrs. King points

�to the scraggly path -- a s hort cut to a trailer park on the back side
of the hill .
The women a r e aware of the $2 ,500 Flagg trust.
not being expended on c emetery rnai~tenance .

They question why it is

If the plots and fence lines were cleared, they say , and if the •hiding
pla ces for vandals " were removed and the safety of the graves insured,
ther e may be other descendants who will s how interest in the place.
"Lots of people don't Imow they got kin folks uo here."

�WYIBE COUN'IY (VIRGINIA) CEME'IERY SURVEY
by
Bn.ice Anderson
Work has s tarted on a comprehensive survey of cemeteries in Wythe Cotmty.
The project i s sponsored jointly by your Wythe County Historical Society
and the Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society . Bn.ice Anderson, Jr.
is serving as General Chairman of the joint committee to plan and coordinate
effort s of members of both Societies and other interested people. Rate of
prog ress will depend greatly on the willingness of volunteers to come forward to he lp locate and identify c emeteries and to record data from individual grave markers . As work progresses, a list of cemeteries surveyed and
names found therein will be made available for publication in the Wythe
County Historical Review and the Virginia Appalachian Notes.
To insure that no over~rown, near-forgotten burial site is overlooked,
"Old Timers" in our County a re urged to volunteer their services to the
Committee . As names a nd locations of burial sites are made known, each
will be assigned a serial number and placed on the List of Cemeteries to
be Surveyed.
Then a Search Team, accompanied by the informant, will visit
the burial site and initiate a Cemetery Description form. It's location
will be plotted on the appropriate section of U. S . Geologic Survey Map.
Informational items to be recorded on the Cemetery Description Form include
serial number , name, location (in reference to State and National roads),
name and telephone number of the person from whom permission might be gotten to enter the cemetery, level of care, etc . (If anyone voices opposition to entry, the name of the objecting person will be recorded and listing of g rave markers deferred.)
03.ta-taking Teams will perform a detailed study of each cemetery. A Grave
Site Location Gride and Grave Marker Description will be prepared. The
position of each probable grave site (marked or unmarked) will be marked
on location gride sheet by means of a small square . After all sites have
b een so marked, each square will be serially numbered. Larger ceme t eries ,
say greater than 100 grave sites, will be sectioned and each section assign ed a letter ~f the alphabet .
Transcription Teams of two people each -- one reading and one recording
will transcribe data from grave markers. (Every, reas onable effort will
be made to assure that vital statistics aEe recorded precisely as they
a ppear on the marker . ) Every name transcribed will be given the same
number as the one entered on the grid sheet. (If the cemetery was sectioned, the s ection letter should precede the serial ' number . ) When more than
one name appears on a marker (i . e., husband and wif e), the same marker
number will be assigned to both names . If no death date shows on the
marker, the name will be recorded by the Team. Names of military veterans
will be flagged and all military information transcribed. Other non-vital
data that might be recorded at the option of the Team include Bible quotat i ons, fraternal order , type of marker, weathering , orientation (i.e.,
flat on ground or partially buried, etc.). Every Team should inquire about
a bag of tri c ks for locating buried markers and improving legibility of
b lu rred characters . Snapsho ts and/or "rubbings" are encouraged if time
pennits.
*J10 W. Lexington St., Wytheville, VA 24382

�It is planned that the transcription of data, initiated in the southeasteni. end of the County, will precede toward the northweste:rn end. It is
anticipated that additional data, over and ~eyond those acquired by direct
transcription, will be offered by interested citizens in the County.
White it would be highly desirable to record indirect data, lack of manpower and facilities have precluded creation of a system for such.
Presented below is the first report of work perf onned oy the Cemetery
Survey Committee. '.These cemeteries are located in the southeaste:rn edge
of the County along its border with Carroll and Pulaski Counties. Each
name and date was taken from a grave marker . In order to improve readability, a uniform format has been adopted and most non-vital data deleted.
Suznames have been placed in front of Christian names and cates are cast
in the DAR- preferred military form. Also omitted from this list are those
n·ames for which no death date shows on the marker . Where military service
is indicated on the marker, an asterisk has been placed opposite the name.
(Editor's note: 1he cemetery records mentioned above will be in a later
issue of VAN. We thought th.at the members would like to have a report
on what is happening and maybe someone out there will know of a cemtery
that has been "forgotten" and will let Bruce Imow about it.)

FLOYD COUNTY
A HISTORY OF I'IS PEOPLE AND PLACES
by: Dr. Amos D. Wood
Edited by: Ann Scott Swain
In compiling the history of Floyd County's people and places,

Dr. Wood

drew on the memories of the old timers in the area. Civil War veterans
were still living when he began this endeavor and their recollections are
a vital part of the book.
Patriotism is highlighted by references to veterans of the Revolutionary
War, the War of the Rebellion and the World War (I) . Close family ties
are evident in the location of homestead and the intermarriage of families
in communities. Education is shown to be highly desirable by those that
acquired it and became "well known". The establishment of various churches
is recorded.

�3?
Over 100 fa milies -- Brammer, Graham, Lancaster, Lawrence, Phillips , Phlegar, Scott, Short , Spangler, Turner, Vest, Wood and many others -- are
sketche d in detail, some at gr eater length than others. Thousands of
names are recorded . How familiar places and watercourses in the county
were named i s related - - truth or fic tion is not known!
'Ihe author used family manuscripts, personal letters , diaries, Bible
records, court records , questionnairies and g~nealogical publications
available in the 1920's to trace family connections. On the lighter side
one will find reminiscences of bygone days, poetry, superstitions, some
f olklore and amu s ing anecdotes.
Through the study of birth and death rates is shown that many young children succumbed to infectious disease . Although Floyd was never a "plantation county'', it seems the early homesteads were a ided by slaves.
The editor has compiled a b i bliography of books and s ources used by Wood
and also l isted thos e written about or by Floyd countians.
The book has 478 pages wi th J O pages of index . Order from Floyd County
Historical Socie ty, Rt. 2 Box 192 , Willis Va. 24J80. The price is $J2.50
(including tax and shipping charge . ) The book has a hard cover . A gift
copy has b een placed in the Virginia Room of the Roanoke City Public
Library by the SWVGS .

�NOTES FROM MEMBERS
"In the May 1981 VAN on page 42, you list a Q. A. Buckingham.

This should
be L.A. Buckingham (Lewis Amiss) who was a lawyer in Floyd County. (see
1860 and 1870 Federal Cens us, p 127 and 11 respectively.) My grand.father
signed his first initial with a lot of curlycues that could be mistaken
for a Q instead of an L . Also, he and his brothers were the only Buckinghams in the area at that time, but they were in Carrol, Wythe, Pulaski and
Montgomery counties. Only Lewis A. was residing in Floyd County."

THE LAST WORD
As usual good thoughts didn't materialize -- thought that VAN would be
out by the 1st but you will get it by the 28th or before . Many of our
members live in areas where our winter would be mild -- but here it is
thrown us for a loop -- especially the ice and the cold. We are not use
to such long spells of cold winter! Nobody could get out and do the
things we are suppose to be doing, so VAN did not get out on the 1st.
not
We have1mentioned t his before, but one of our members called about a card
that she had gotten - that "The
Family Name Album " was being published and she could get a copy for $19 . 95, From what I have read and
been told it is not what it appears to be. Most of it is names that may
be obtained from the city directo:ry . Also I understand that there is
another one - - this one is from Jenny's Inc, , in Hyattsville, Mo 20784.
See the article written by Margaret Thompson on you to check out the book
you want or think that you want,

Weather is getting better and I want to go to Richmond for some research
material for VAN . Since my son has left Richmond -- no place to stay (of
course, there are motels - they are f or one night stays} . Does any of
our members has a spare room they would care to rent to me for several
days.
Must get this to the printer --- Have a good year----

Babe Fowler.

GENEALOGY IN SOUTHWESTERN VIRGINIA
by
Charles T Burton , Genealogist
Rt 2 , Box 191, Troutville , VA 24175
When you are just begin ning your search for family records, in this
area, you ask yoursel£ several questions : What do I do first? What next?
Where do I g o first ? Next? Etc .
First , you put together all names , dates , places , etc ., from your
living relatives , family records , such as Family Bibles, old diaries ,
letters, e tc . ·
Next , you look for additional information about the persons at the
places you have from the Family Records . Most of this additional information i s f oW1d at County Courthouses, in the office and vault of the
Clerk of the Circuit Court .

I

I

I

It i s important to remember that the present-day counties only have
information recorded after the date of the formation of the county.
Therefore , knowing the date of the founding of the county, is important.
Records of an earlier date may be found in the Courthouse of the county
that was s plit to form the new county .
Another thing; when a town is incorporated into a city , it is no
longer a part of the county , and the records of that area are found at
the CITY Courthouse .
So , you ask, "Where do I find the Courthouse?" If travelling, the
street address can be found in the local telephone directory ; look under
the name of the City, for "Clerk of Circuit Court '' , or the attendant at
a service station , etc , will direct you .
To learn the name of the County seat , where the Circuit Courthouse
can be found : Most libraries have booklets listing Counties and their
CoW1ty seats, and giving other helpful information . County seats are
also listed on State Road Maps . If you wish to write to the County Clerk,
address it: Clerk of Circuit Courty , - - - - --- County ,
(name
of CoW1ty Seat ), Va . (zip code . )
By way of illustration, to help you understand about the early court
records of this area: All of this area was in Orange County, Va., before 1745; but there were hardly any white people here, then. In 1745,
Orange County was split , and the area west of the Blue Ridge Mountains
and south of the northern boundary of present- day Rockingham County, became the new County of Augusta, County seat in Staunton, Va.
In 1770,
that part of Augusta southwest of the site of Lexington, Va., became the
new County of Botetourt , County Seat at Fincastle. In 1772, that part
of Botetourt County southwest of about the site of Salem, Va., became the
County of Fincastle, County Seat at the Lead Mines. 'Ihen, in 1777, Fincastle County ceased to exist , and three counties were formed from it's
area : Kentucky, Washington and Montgomery, County Seat of Washington,
Abingdon, and of Montgomery, Christiansburg. The records of Fincastle
County are now at Christiansburg, in the Montgomery County Courthouse .

�132

'!hen , at later dates , othe r new counties were formed , with their new
courthouses .
Another thing to r emember : t he forrnatior. of new ::;tates ; Kentucky
in 1792 , and West Virg i nia in 186J .
Some of you will a sk , "How a b ou t Church Records ? "
None of the e a rly
churches in this area attempted t o k eep records of births , deaths or
marriages , or if they did, none have s urvived , to my kno wledge .
A few
minis t ers kept personal lists of ma rriages and (or ) baptisms ; bu t these
lists are so few as to be almost none .
Another question , often a s ked , "Why can ' t I find real ear l y marriage
records at the courthouse ?" Before the Rev oluti on , t h e only persons
·authorized to perform the marriage cere mo n y were the Min i sters of the
Church of England. The Church of Eng land was v ery wea k in thi s part of
the state ; the Ves tries being made up , p a rtly , by men of o the r demoninations . The marriage rites were considere d t h e bus i ness o f the Church,
as were thos e of baptisms and the ' las t rite s ' o f the d ead , a nd these
records were supposed to have been recorded i n th e Pari s h Reg i s ter and
kept in the Church records , and not at the courthous e .
As far as is
known, these Parish Registers were not kept , in thi s p a rt of Virginia .
Ministers of the ' other d enominations ' performe d marriag es in their
own congregations , and the couples c ons idered th ems elves married in the
sight of God . At the clos e of the Revolution, one of the f irst a cts of
the General Assembly , was to make all marriages performed by a l l denominations legal , and the children born to s uch marriages , legi ti tmate .
And authori zed the l i cens ing of Ordained Ministers to perform marriages .
For the above reasons, very few marriag e s we re recorded in the County
Courthous e, until about 1782 .
You will have other questions ; feel free to a sk this wr iter , or
the Genealogical Society, we '11 do our best to answer.

supplies and purchased some hard candy f or Chris tmas as a s p e cial treat
for us . Mother hid the candy , bu t I foun d it.
Eac h day Jo e a nd I would
sneak a piece or two of the candy and on e day t h e re was no more candy.
It did taste s o good !
"Chris tmas Eve, we hung up our knitted yarn s tockings (which were
made by my grandmother Martha (Bevins) Deskins ) by the fireplace and
placed our shoes under them . Then off 'to bed wi th dreams of what Santa
Claus would bring us .
" 'Ihe next morning we ran down the stairs to see what Santa Claus
had left for us .
" I hea rd Joe , crying , ask , "Did Santa Claus bring you just what he
gave me? - - - A switch in my stocking and cinders in my shoes . "
I replied , with tears s treaming down my fac e , "Yes , that ' s what I got. "
( She told many s tories of her childhood but I believe that this was her
favorite one -- especially when she toid i t to her grandchildren and
great grandchildren. )

THE LAST WORD
I would like to take this opportunity to thank many of you for your many
Kindnesses to me and my family at the death of my mother.
Hopefully , I
can n ow get around to ans wering the many letters that have accumulated
over the pa st --- - to long a time.
Pl ease all of you ou t the re be good so you won • t get ' swit-ches &amp; cinders '
in your stocking .

�1'1
REVOLUTI ONARY WAR RECOR.L'S
IN THE ARCHIVES &amp; RECOR.L'S DIVISION
OF THE VIRGINIA STA1E LIBRARY
'Ihe following i s t he text of the talk that John Salmon of the Virginia State
Library gave a t the SVCS Workshop on July 18 , 1981.
Channel 2J i s p r esently rerunning a series of shows on World War II,
called " The World a t War." This is a very interesting series, especially
to s omeone interested in history , because it makes use of original newsreel footage s howing both civilian li£e and combat scenes , as well as
contemporary s till photographs . My wife and I , who had not yet been born
when World l•/a r II too k place , were talking the other night about how we
think abou t that era has been influenced by what we have seen over the
years on s uch s hows as "The World at War, " and by what we have read in
the history books .
This gaining of our impressions from secondary sources rather than
from personal e xp e rience has a very peculiar side effect : we find that
when we call up a mental image of a person or an event , Adolph Hitler or
the war in North Africa , for instance, that mental image tends to be in
black and white rather than in color. This may sound a bit strange ,
especially to those of you who fought in World War II , but consider for a
moment that my only s ources for mental images of that period have been
black and white newsreels and photographs, disregarding Hollywood movies.
It comes as a grea t shock , then , when I open a book on the history of the
war, as I did not too long ago , and find color photographs of Hitler,
Rommel, Patton , and soldiers fighting in the North African desert. At
first these photographs hardly seem real - - they look more like Hollywood
productions , people in costume. At first I find it hard to believe what
I am seeing.
Then I remember that color film did exist then, it was just
used very rarely in news photography, and I am able to accept the pictures
for what they are .
·
Cast your minds back , if you will, to an era before color photography
was popular - - to pre-Revolutionary Russia , for example , and you will
see what I mean . When you think of that time before 1917, you think of
shaky newsreels ·and still photographs of World War I battle scenes, Russian villages , peas an ts , and the royal family. And all these images will
be in black and white. In fact , it is almost impossible for you to think
of that country in that period, in color.
Recentl y , however, a book has been published which is causing a good
deal of e xcitement among historians, especially those who are interested
in photography - - a book containing recently discovered contemporary
color photographs of pre-Revolutionary Russia. Ille photographs were made
using a complicated, primitive method of recording color that was nowhere
near as accurate as today's films, but the colors are still startling in
their beauty and freshness.
He~e is the Czar, the peasants, the villages,
and the war , almost unbelievable real and lifelike. Indeed, if you were
to see the book , you r first reaction might be like mine when I saw the
World War II color photographs - - these are not real, they are just

_J

�so
stills from a Hollywood costume piece .

But they are real .

Now , what does all this have to do with Revolutionary War records in
the state archives?
The point I want to make is this: How we perceive a piece of hi s torical evidence is affected - - distorted
by the qual ity and variety of
impre.s sions that we hold concerning the era to which that e vidence pertains .
If we think of World War II or of Czarist Russia in images of b lack and
white , we may refuse to accept the evidence of color , even when we see it
before us. We allow our preconceptions , in other words , to come between
us and even the most concrete of facts .
This is p articularl y true of historical events in which we have s ome emotional involvement , and in this
country the two best examples of that are the Civil War and the Revolu tionary War. Deep emotional involvement with the Civil War , however ,
seems to be largely a regional phenomenon --- it is not found in the same
degree of intensity in the North and West as it is in th e South .
And if
I may be allowed to say so without causing a riot, I think that a typical
Southerner' s view of that war is often obscured by a butternut-gray haze
of romance --- certainly to a greater extent than that of a Northerner or
a Westerner. Als o , many Americans are yet a bit uncomfortabl e thinking
about the Civil War. It was a bitter pericd in our history , a nd we are
s till too close to it for calm reflection.
No , if there is one part of our history which stirs up, in every
region of this country , pure feelings of patriotism , romance , and g eneral
s atisfaction , it is t he Revolutionary War . In fact, we as a nation have
so enshrined this war in our mythology , that often it i s impossible to
s ee the human beings who were involved in it , among a l l the heroic paintings and statuary . Our mental images of the period are reduc ed to stereotypes . Think of George Was hington , and our mind's eye sees him in the
painting, standing tall in the boat crossing the n.elaware, not as he was
at Kip's Bay , New York , leaning down from his horse, half-hysterical ,
flailing about with his sabre , screaming curses at his men as they flee
in panic from the advancing British ; think of the handwriting of the
period and we see the elegant signature of John Hancock before we see the
frontier scribble of D3.niel Boone ; think of death in battle and we see
the painting of General Warren expiring calmly on Bunker Hill , not the
horrible bloody reality; think of Benedict Arnold and we see the traitor
at west Point , not the s tockycolonel leading his men from Maine in a
heroic march against Quebec in 1775, 1he popular imagination is s o taken
up with the heroism of the age, t~t if we happen to find some document
associating one of our ancestors with all thi s g lory , then reason leaves
its throne and we are set all aqui ver with excitement . Even if , as i s
often the case , the ancestor was only peripherally involved in the war ,
the mere discovery of his being a round at the time is enough to keep us
talking about it for weeks .
I know, of course, that we here are all more reasonable than that,
but those of us who are archivists have occasionally encountered researchers who are unwilling to take a realistic view of the r ecords .
In fact ,
some of the archivists and editors who have worked with the r eco rds in
the past, compiling guides and indexes, have been guilty of perrni tting

�'ii
their patriotic zeal to color their interpretations of thJse records. This
evening I want to mention the guidebooks , some of the records they describe ,
and what it is that the records tell us --- and what they DO NOT tell us.
I do not intend to rattle off a list of books and record series concerning the Revolutionary War . I will discuss some of the more commonly
used series , and the t wo basic guides or indexes to the records. The
guides are listed in this booklet , Genealogical Research in the Viri;inia
State Library , on page 8 . They are : John H. Gwathmey's Historical Register of Virginians in the Revolution, 1775- 1783 , published in 1938, and Dr.
H. J . Eckenrode ' s t wo-volume List of the Revolutionary Soldiers of Virginia,
publis hed in 1911 a nd 1912 . There are other guides and compilations available , but these are a mong the mos t u seful, and they do by and large cover
records that are phys i cally in the arc hives and available for use. All
of the guides and co mpilations are availabl e for use · in the archives reading room. The r efe rence staff will g l a dly e xplain their use and help you
evaluate the records they d escribe . It will help the staff , as well as
yourselves , however , if you a r e abl e to approach the records and indexes
in the righ t spirit , along the lines of my preceding remarks .

'

I

With that s pirit in mind, then , I would like to get involved in a
bit of gentle debunking here tonig ht , not of heroes , but of the records
themselves , or rather, of that old-time , uncritical approach to the records
and to books ABOUT the records , that too many researchers still seem to
take . The records , the guides to the records , and the analyses which the
compilers of those guides often forced upon the records, or read into them,
are not holy writ.
The records are for the most part the straightforward
writings of a plainspoken people; the g uides or indexes are the results
of a sincere attempt to bring order out of chaos: dull , tedious work for
which we all owe the compilers our gratitude --- and our charity for their
occasional mis readings of names. Where we can justly fault either the
compiler or the researcher, or both , is in the unfortunate and very human
tendency to read into the records that which we would LIKE to find written there , BUT DO NOT.
A very go0d example of this failing concerns a group of records
pertaining not to the Revolutionary War but to the one which just preceded
it in Virginia, called .Dunmore ' s War. This war, which took place on the
western frontiers of Virginia in what is now West Virginia , had only one
battle: the Battle of Point Pleasant , fought on October 10, 1774. In
this battle a small army of colonists held off and beat back an attack by
a large number of Indians under the command of a chief named Colllstalk.
'.Ihis battle i s sometimes referred to as "The First Battle of the American
Revolution. "

On the contrary , it is not any such thing!
I£ anything , the battle could poss ibly be considered the last gasp
of the French and Indian War . It was a colonial war; the soldiers served
under the royal governor; and they were paid on behalf of the Crown. They
were not, in 1774 at least , rebels and revolutionaries.

Far from being a year of bloody revolution, 1774 was a year in which

�our colonial leaders were still trying to rea ch a compro mi s e wi th t he
royal gove.r nment, so that what revolution t her e was i n Nort h Ame rica might
still be stopped short of independence !
Dunmore 's War, then , belongs at l east as much to the end of t h e colonia;t period as it does to the beg inning of the Rev olutionary era . What
exactly was Dunmore ' s War all about , and wha t r ecords of g enea l og i cal interest -did it generate?
Lord Dunmore was one John Murray, Earl of Dunmore , who had bee n
formerly governor of New Yo'rk and who had bee n appointe d g ove rnor of Virginia in 1771 . He immediately set about reorganizing the Virg ini a militia,
and he made a serious attempt to protect the fronti e r against I ndian
raids --- and also to push the limits of the colony to t he Ohio River if
possible. The resulting war in 1774, the n , was partly du e to the s ame
spirit of expansionism that prevailed during the French and Indian War ,
and it indirectly contributed a few sparks to t he Revolutionary movement
in Virginia. Lord Dunmore was at first quite a popular governor, and in
1772 when a new county was carved out of Frederick County, i t was named
Dunmore in his honor. However, because of his s eizure of the land and
personal property of some residents in various areas of the f r ontier , and
becaus e many Virginians believed his milita:ry adven turis m was intended to
.distract them from the political tensions of the era, h e rapidly became
unpopular. Finally, in June 1775, he fled the colony and took refuge on
board a ship off Yorktown, declaring the ship to be the legal seat of
government. On January 1, 1776, he wished Norfolk a Happy Ne w Year by
having the town shelled. Fires got s tarted , and the militia was called
out to fig ht them. The militia, however , spent its time liberating
liquor bottles from the flames , got thoroug hly drunk, a nd s tarted its own
fires. Norfolk burned down, and the whol e sor:ry episode was the subject
of one of the first coverups in American history.
The patriot propaganda
machine ignored the militia ' s role, and blamed the whole aff'air on Lord
Dunmore, who then reached new depths of unpopularity, and who sailed away
before the ultimate indignity befel l him : in 1778 Dunmore County changed
its name to Shenandoah.
Lord Dunmore was truly more trouble than he was worth , especially to
genealogists. His war in 1774 did produce a few records of interest , but
they have been the _s ource of a terrible l ot of confusion, due to the
soldiers' not getting paid until after the Revolution heated up in 1775 ,
and this nonsense about the Battle of Point Pleasant being the first
battle of the Revolutionary War.
our archives has under the title "Lord Dunmore' s War" a volume of
claims, both for military and non-military service, made by reside nts of
Augusta , Bedford, Botetourt , and Fincastle counties, and a card i ndex to
the same . Almos t no genera.logical information is included therein , but
these r ecords do at least place an individual in a particular county at
the time of that war, and they do give proof of his colonial servi ce --NOT his Revolutionary War s ervice .
Als o i n t hi s group of records are three payrolls, calle d the Romney,
Winchester, and Pitts burg Payrolls. The Romne y and Winches t er payroll.s

�record soldiers paid at those p l aces in 1775 , and the Pittsburg Payroll
records sold i er::; paid at Fort Pi tt in 1775 . Although payment for their
military servi ce was mad e i n 177 5 , the s ervice for which these men were
paid wa s ac tua l ly l n Lord D.lnmore ' s Wa r in 1774. To further confuse the
issue , all these payrolls are indexed by Eckenrode and by Gwathmey , and
at l eas t on e patri ot i c soc i e ty has a cce pted these records as proof of
Revolutiona ry War servi ce , per haps because of the 1775 payroll dates , and
perhaps in par t because of a stateme nt by Gwathmey : "Apparently thes e
were Colonia l rathe r than Revolu t ionary s oldiers who were in Dunmore ' s
War and were la te i n rec eiving the ir pay . But they are included i n this
volume for the r eason t hat a lmost to a man they transferred over into the
Revolutionary servic e . .. . . .. . . " This statem en t has no basis in fact, however. Quite to the contrary , thes e payrolls include a number of individ uals who are knovm to hav e been Loyalis ts in the Revolution. Gwathmey,
and many other r es earc h e rs , s eem to feel that just because a soldier
s erved in one war he mus t have served i n the other , but in fact there is
no s uch a s s urance .
I1, des pite the relative abundance of Revolutionary
War records , no record of s ervice is found f or that war , but only for Dunmore ' s War , then one c a n only conclud e that the individual simply did not
s erve in the Revolutionary War.
Turning now to the variou s types of Revolutionary War records in the
archives , we fin d that many of them are indexed by Gwathmey and Eckenrode ,
who conveni ently a rrang ed their entries alphabetically by the names of the
soldiers.
Eckenrode's List i s p robably the first source to consult because of its de tai l .
The first volume , publis hed in 1911 , mos tly des cribes
records found in the Virginia State Library.
The 1912 volume also indexes
some Library mate rial, but concentrates largely on pay and muster rolls
held by the National Archives in Washing ton . Of the records in the Virginia archives , t hose most u seful are the following : Bounty Warrants and
Military Certificates , Rejected Claims , and Auditor's Pay Accounts .
The first of these , the Bounty Warrant and Military Certificate
files , are among the most interesting records we have . Bounty land warran t s arose out of the need of the state to increase army enlistments ,
but ine.xpensivel~r .
Since Virginia had claims to a vast amount of land i n
the Old Northwest Territory , including Kentucky and Ohio , the state decided t o promis e free land after the war in return for long enlistments dur1.ng the war.
Eventually the laws refined t his idea to a set procedure.
To qualify for the land , a man must have served at least three years continuously in a s tate or continental line unit . Militia service did not
coun t .
The longer t he service and the higher the rank , the more land
the soldier would receive.
Minimum amounts ranged from 100 acres for a
private up to 1100 acre s for a major general .
The procedures for obtaining the land were as follows : the soldier
secured evidence of the length of his service , his rank , and his unit,
usually i n the form of an affidavit f rom a superi or officer, or his military discharg e p apers , and submi t te d the evidence to the Governor's
Offi ce .
'Ihe governor often referred the papers to a commissioner to inves t igate the claim , and acted u pon his recommendation.
If the e vidence
was deemed insu ffic i ent , i t was rejected, and it was left up to the soldier to gather additiona l evidence to support his claim.
If he was unable

�to do so, his papers eventually ended up in the Rejected Cl ai ms file .
If
his clai m was approved , the Governor signed a Military Ce rtif icate a uthorizing the Register of the Land Office to iss u e a numbered boun ty l and
warrant . The original warrant went to the soldier , while the Reg i s ter of
the Land Office recorded a copy for hi s files .
We have , then , the s oldiers' evidence files , which are misnamed "Bounty Warran ts "; the Military
Certificates sent by the Governor to the Regi s ter of the Land Office ; a nd
numbered copies of the bounty warrants (printe d forms fill e d in) i n books
still in the Land Office .
Once the soldier had. his warrant , he could take i t and move to the
military district which had been set a s ide for Vi rgi nia ' s claims in e ither
Kentucky or Ohio, and claim his land . The procedure was s imilar to that
for obtaining a civil land grant from a colony or a s tate :
f ind s imilar
land , have it surveyed , file a claim with the land office, a nd if there
were no prior claims , eventually receive a land grant.
Please note that
none of the land could be taken up within the boundaries of Virginia .
Some researchers think that because their ancestor rece ived a land g rant
in Virginia at the same time that the bounty warrants were b e ing i ssued ,
this was proof that he had s erved in the Revolutionary War .
This i s simply not the case . If the land was claimed ins ide Virg inia , then i t was
not claimed on a military bounty warrant .
'!he bounty land warrants were transferable . A s oldie r could sel l his
warrant to another soldier, or even to a person who had not s een any military service . Many soldiers did just that .
The years following the Revolutionary War wer e very hard ones , with runaway inflation and widespread
poverty, and many soldiers sold their warrants for a fraction of their
worth. Some individuals were able to amass huge tracts of land in the
military districts on purchased warrants. So , if you find an ancestor
using a military bounty warrant to obtain land in the military districts
of Ohio or Kentucky , that alone i s not proof of military service,
The so-called "Bounty Warrant" files , then , contain affidavits concerning the soldiers ' s ervice, usually from superior officers but sometimes
from former comrades in the ranks.
The evidence may be nothing more than
a terse statement of the facts --- rank , length of service, unit - - - or
it could consist of l etters, copies of orders , lengthy testimonials from
the soldiers applying for the land --- almost anything that would support
a claim of service.
In one case a sold.i er submitted as proof of his having been in service at a particular time, a dated letter from his commanding officer to
another officer. The letter seems to have nothing at all to do with this
soldier until the last couple of sentences .
Then the commander mentioned
that he was sending the soldier along under guard, to be punished for having stolen and eaten a sheep , with the comment, "It ' s steal sheep or starve.
says the poor s oldier . " I wonder if the soldier didn ' t steal this letter
as well .

Another affidavit was in the form of a se ri es of qu es tions and a nswers concerning the service of a Colonel Henry Aimes, who began his
military career as a Captain. To establis h whether or not Aimes had ever

�85
been dismissed from the service , the questioner a.sked : "Was or was not
this Captain Henry Aimes for any cause ever dishonored during his term of
service? Pointedly : was he cashiered or s uperseded during his 3 years '
service?" Aimes ' s old comrade volunteered more than was asked when he answered the question : " This Captain Aimes would fight anybody any how .
He was imperious , stiff , and unpleasant , but he was never cashiered,
superseded , nor dishonored , in no way ."
I f a s oldier died before he c laimed his bounty land, his widow or

children, or other legal heirs , could f ile a claim. Before they were
given the warrant , however , they had to submit sufficient proofs and
powers of attorney to establish that they were entitled to it . 'lhese
proof~are u sually found in the Military Certificate files in the Land
Office. In cases where there were many decendants fil:ing several years
after the end of the wa r, these proofs may include genealogical charts to
establis h who was entitled to the warrants. Sometimes copies of the sol diers' wills are found. One of the most poignant wills found among the
Military Certificates is that of a free black soldier. He directed his
wife to apply for the warrant , then once she had obtained it , to sell it,
and use the money to buy one of their children out of slavery.

There are also s ome sad records a mong the Rejected Claims . Most of these
rejected claims dat e from the 18JO's, when many of the veterans still living were in their seventies and eighties . Their officers were no doubt
l ong dead , as were most of their comrades, s o there was no one left to
testify for them. For this lack of supporting evidence their claims were
rejected , and they lost an opportunity to earn a few dollars by selling
the warrant. While there were undoubtedly a few attempts to defraud the
Commonwealth, most of the soldiers ' statements have the ring of truth,
especially considering the elaborate lengths they went to, to record every
odd scrap of information about their service they could recall , on the
off chance it mig ht convince the Governor to approve their claim. One
ol d gentleman even swore that as he lay wounded on the field of battle,
General Washington himself rode up and spoke to him, and gave directions
f or his care. That seens so transparent a fabrication, that it probabl y
really happened. Many records of service such as payrolls and muster
rolls were at that time unavailable to the soldier, because they were
t ucked a way in obscure offices or ev en still in the hands of the officers
who created them. I want to mention , in this regard , Governor James Wood,
who had been a colonel in the Revolutionary War and a brigadier general
afterwards , and was governor i n the 1790 's. He kept many such rosters in
his own hands , and was one of those rare men who would stop whatever he
was doing to re.lp an old soldier . Many soldiers got warrants who would
not otherwise have d one so , because James Wood took the time to search
t hrough his papers until he found the proof of service. 'Ibere must be
hundreds of affidav its in his tiny handwriting, scattered throughout the
Bounty Warrant files . He ·als o helped soldiers get pensions, and I plan
to quote from one of his affidavits on that subject later.
Of course, not all soldiers g ot bounty land warrants , not all who
wer e qua l ified applied, and there were thousands of soldiers who were inel igible , either becaus e their term of s ervice was too short, or because
they served in the militia instead of in the state or continental line.

�The most likely source of infonna tion for these soldiers i s in the various
types of pay records kept by the State Audi tor's Office .
(I will include
in this category the pay ·and muster rolls filed in the National Archives
and indexed by Eckenrode in his 1912 volume. ) Thes e records tend to be
extremely cryptic regarding the soldiers service.
An entry in an Auditor ' s
Account Book might read that John Jones was issued a pay warrent in, say,
1783, "for service in the Militia of this State;" or "for service in the
Militia of this state in 1781;" or "for service in the Militia of Botetourt County in 1781;" or "for service in Capt . James Smith ' s Company of
Botetourt County militia in 1781." Not very much to go on .
And, unfortunately ·for the hopes and expectations of many researchers, that is often
all the record of service that there is .
There are, of course, other types of service records in the archives,
which I will lump :together as "Miscellaneous . " They include s ize rolls ;
court martial records; appointments of militia officers found in county
court order books; a few militia payrolls; militia classes; the Illinois
Papers and dlark Papers ; legislative petitions; and pension records .
We have two size rolls, each with a strange , arbitrary title : one
is called "Revolutionary Army , Vol . I. Register. " and the other is known
as the "Chesterfield Supplement ." They are both indexed by Eckenrode ,
and each is a gold mine of information of the sort that genealogists are
always hoping to find but n~ver do.
They not only contain the names,
ages, place of birth, county of residence , when and where enlisted , and
for how long, but the soldier's height , col or of eyes and hair, and
complexion. The reason these volumes were compiled beginning about 1780 ,
was to help provide a description for newspaper advertisements .
Then if
a soldier deserted, he might be more easily recaptured .
Unfortunately for
the researcher, only a very few soldiers, relatively s peaking, are listed.
The chances of finding your ancestor are extremely remote .
There are court martial records for Augusta County militia only, and
we have a card file index to the volume containing them.
I f you find your
ancestor therein , don ' t feel too badly. Most of the offences were minor
--- failing to attend a muster, for instance, and probably every county
had a big thick book like this one at one time.
The militia was organized on a county basis .
The counties were divided into districts called "companies " which were u sed administratively for
various purposes, including taxation . In the past some researchers have
gotten excited when they found their ancestor listed early in the Revolution in someone's "company." Very patriotic fellow, they figure.
I 'm
sorry, but usually its just a tax list, not a military roll, especi ally
when the only rank appears opposite the captain ' s name at the top of the
roll. The captain was also the tax collector, or the compiler of the tax
list.
The militia of each county was organized into a regiment under an
officer with the rank of Colonel, who was also known as the County Lieutenant, after the English custom. There might be one or two battalions
in the regiment, each under a Lieutenant Colonel; a major was the executive
officer in 'each battalion, and the soldiers were organized into companies

under captains , lieutenants , and ensigns , the lowest ranking commissioned
officer.
When a vacancy occurred among the commissioned officers , usually becaus e of death, resignation , or for moving out of the county, the county
court would recommend officers f or promotion. Usually the most senior
officer below the grade vacated would be recommended. The recommendation
was entered in the county court order book along with the rest of the
court' s business , and a copy was sent to the Governor. He then issued a
commission appointing the officer to the new rank , and that officer came
before his county court with his commission and took an oath of loyalty,
Gwathmey has indexed these recommenda tions and oath- takings found buried
in the court order books , s o that many officers' names are recorded that
would otherwise be los t .
There were probably a hundred times more enlisted men in the militia
than there were officers , but unfortunately the records concerning the
privates are very scarce . Only a fe w rolls have survived , perhaps because
the militia was so seldom called into active service for a period of eight
days or more, the minimum necessary to be paid by the state . 'Ihere was a
reason for this n eglect of the militia and resulting scarcity of records
- -- they were notoriously unreliable in a fight, or rather, they could
often be relied upon to run away at a crucial moment: just as the enemy
charged , for instance . To be fair to the militia , however, what could
you expect of troops who had received almost no formal training, in the
face of the Britis h Army, one of the best-drilled fighting forces in the
world?
The militia has been very much maligned , perhaps not always justly.
The regular Continental Army officer was probably happy enough to see the
militia man when he came to the army as a draftee, and we do have a record
of the militia draft for Culpeper County only, called the " Culpeper
Classes ." In 1781, because the level of voluntary enlistment into the
Continental line had fallen so low, even with such inducements as the
bounty land offer , the General Assembly authorized a draft of the militia
to fill the state's quota for the regular army . Each county divided its**
into groups or classes of 12 or 13 men each , cast lots or drew straws,
and the lucky winner got to go serve in the regular army for eighteen
months. The "Culpeper Classes" is a slender volume listing the militia
of that county in their classes, and indicating which men were drafted.
There is a card file index to this record.
Even though the war-on the Eastern seaboard has received most of the
publicity from historians, we must not forget that there was a war in the
West as well. I refer to the Old Northwest , particularly the present
states of Kentucky, Ohio, and Illinois. Beginning about 1778, a remarkable man named George Rogers Clark commanded a small, mixed army of
militia and regular state troops , which became known as the Illinois
Regiment . The men who served in the regiment were mostly residents of
that part of Virginia which is now Kentucky, and the regiment saw much
activity against the British and Indians in what was known then .as the
"Illinois Country." The archives has about 200 muster and pay rolls for
the regiment and for the various Kentucky militia units which were associ**militia (word omitted)

�ated with it . These rolls were indexed by Ecken rod e .
We a l s o have Clark's
official papers, including letters , accounts , and thou sand s of e xpense
vouchers, some of which have been indexed by Gwa thmey .
Clark had a lot of trouble being reimburs e d f or h is expen ses by the
state, thanks to a very complicated financial s y s t e m, and t he r e luctance
of the gove:rnment to spend the taxpayer ' s money on anything i t had not decided to purchase itself. It was therefore a neve r - ending s trug gle for
men like Clark to get paid back for money they had e xp end e d o n s uch transitory i terns as foodstuffs and other supplies .
Of ten t heir only recourse
was to petition the General Assembly directly for r e lief, and thi s they
did , generals and soldiers alike , on every conceivabl e s ubj e ct, but u s ually financial. The "Legislative Petitions," as they are c a lled, are arranged alphabetically by county , then chronolog ically s tarting with 1776.
They are partially indexed by Eckenrode. They cons t 'i tute the only source
of names, in fact, for some militia soldiers and officers.
All the members
of the militia of Orange County, for instance, signed a petition complaining bitterly about the militia draft of 1781, asking that the period of
service be cut back from 18 to 12 months or even les s.
The last group of military service records I want to dis cuss are the
pension records . The state of Virginia paid a few small pensions to disabled veterans and to their widows, but most were eventually taken over
and paid by the federal government . The U. S. Congress passed dozens of
acts revising the pension la!'fs over the years .
The federal pension papers
are in the National Archives and are indexed in a thick volume entitled
Index to Revolutionacy War Pension Applications . We have this volume in
the archives, As far as original pension records are concerned , we have
those few that were issued by Virginia, and there is a fi l e card index to
them. The records are very interesting , and contain doctor ' s opinions
concerning the disabilities, affidavits of service , powers of attorney ,
receipts , and so on .
One of the pensions was granted to a Captain Leonard Cooper, who lost
his leg in the service of his country.
"I do with the advice of the Counci l of State hereby
Certify That Leonard Cooper, aged about 38 years , late a Cap tain in the 4th Virginia Regiment, whose annual pay was One
Hundred &amp; forty four po:unds, was disabled in the service of the

right leg; and he is allowed the sum of Fifty pounds yearly , to

'Ihere i s one group of records which is ref erred to by a variety of
names: non-military servic e r ecords , pa triotic s ervice, impressed property claims, or Public Service Claims , as they are termed in the archives.
We have a card file index to them . At leas t one patriotic organization
considers an ancestor ' s being mentioned among these records as sufficient
evidence for me mbership . Ac cording to the popular view, these records
show that even thoug h a citiz en was unable to serve in the army, he might
still have enough patriotis m to donate his material possessions to the
cause. The only problem with this view is that the records do not support
it one way or the other.
By 1780 paper currency had become so worthless that people were unwilling to sell supplies to the army. The General Assembly responded with
a law authorizing Commissioners of the Provision I.aw for each county to
seize necessary property and give the owner a certificate in return. '.Ihe
owner then took the certificate to a meeting of the county court and had
it authenticated for payment . The court sent the original certificate anda copy of their proceedings , called a court booklet, to a commissioner in
Richmond, who then i9sued a pay warrant to reimburse the citizen for his
property . Here is one such claim followed through the procedure.

1 Warrant to John Hook for Salt fu::r:nished PW P Cert
allowed by the Court of Campbell "

Theoretically one could join a pa trio tic s ociety on thi s man ' s socalled public service , al though I cannot find that anyone ever has.
The
reas on may be that this man was John Hook , one of the mos t infamous and
obnoxious Loyalists in the state of Virginia.
The s tory goes that he even
sued for damages after the state took his beef, and Patrick Henry , acting
as the lawyer on behal£ of the Commonweal th , got the case laug hed out of
court,
I cannot help but wonder how many other Loyalists lie hidden in the
Public Service Claims. I imagine that many pa trio tic Commis sioners of the
Provision Law, charged with taking from their neighbors property which
they would not fre ely s ell , would first seize the property of a known or
sus pected Loyalist , before they would deprive a fellow patriot.

We have s een tonight , I hop e , that the records do not alway s prove
what they are often presupposed to prove.
I a l so hope that you wil l agree
with me that what the records DO tell us is just as interesti ng, may be
more s o, as what we WANT them to tell us.
In closing, I would like to men tion one last myth about the men of
the Revolution: that they were a grim, serious lot.
Of course , they had
a g ood deal to be serious about , and we do owe them our respect for their
c ourag e and sacrifices .

But one old ve teran, applying for a federal pension, dredging up
ev ery scrap of information he could recal l in ord er to prove his c l aim ,
.r emembered a n obs cure order issued by General Was hington in the depths of
t hat terrible winter at Valley Forge, when the men left bloody footprints
i n the s now. The General had to strictly forbid any furth er displays of
bad discipl ine , s uch as then were going on between the Virginia and the
Pennsyl vania troops . And do you J.mow what they were?

To the Gen eral asse mbly of Virgin i a
'The petition of Abram Crabtr ee of the County of Russell would respectfully represent to your Honorable body that h i s was born in the year 1750 and until Sept
1776 was rema r kably heal thy s trong and robust .
He was engaged in many of the
military adventures which occu~ e d in the first settlement of the Weste:rn Country .
He was a spy, and a s s uch was sen t out from Harrison ' s fort on the North fork of
Holston and served s i xty f ive days , a t the daily hazard of his life. He was
afterward induc e d by Col'o Arthur Ca mpbell and Col. Christian to go with the
Army on the Cheockee e xp edition.
He did s o cheerfully being in fine health &amp;
vigor and a remar kably g ood woods man , having in one day in the month of September from nine o ' clo c k in the morni ng t ill sunset walked from Blackmore's Station
on Clinch to the b i g Sa l t lick o n Hols ton in Washington County , a distance of
seventy miles .
He a ttended the Army a t the special s olicitation of the commanders aforesaid and was a ccompanied by two of his brothers , who were the only
members of the f a mily old enough to leave home . Your petitioner marched with
the Army to Long I s land on Holstein, where he was taken sick with a fever of a
very malignant character .
He continued to march with the army the sick but frequently gave out and hi s brothers a t night would retu:rn in search of him and find
him entirely exhaus t e d on the road s ide
page
He kept on however untill the a:rmy ?
? &amp; the three springs near
Boyd mountains on the Cherokee trace , when your petitioner failed entirely?
His fever raged with violence and fell into his legs one of which has remained
Sore and Swelled to this day , without one hour's intermission. Your petitioner
was sent home and remained under the care of a nurse thirty-two weeks, when he
partially recovered but has never been able to earn a sussistence in consequence
of his leg.
He has made out heretofore to subsist on the earnings of his youth
but is now in extreme old age , an object of common charily . In this situation
he appeals with the confidence to the Justices of his country . He cannot believe that his appeal will be rejected while thousands who have gone through the
ceremony of enlistment in the regular service , without having rendered half the
service which your petitioner has rendered and without having incurred by that
servi ce any bodily injury are revelling on the bounty of their country. Your
petitioner thinks it unnecessary to address any argument to your Honorable
Body in support of his claims.
He States the facts that he has rendered good
s ervice to his country in the day of her need and that in rendering that service
he has incurred an incurable malady, which has utterly disqualified him, from
eantlng a s ubsi stence , even if he were forty years
page
younger than he is.
He prays for s uch a s sistance from his country as will en able him to enjoy at least the necessaries of life during the brief remnant of
his days and as in duty bound he will ever pray

fort in the County of Washington in the state of Virginia that he well recollect that the said Abraham served a regular tour of duty of ?Sixty days
service as a spy under James Cratree a Lieutenant and then the Commandant
at that fort after which service , he was requested by Col's Campbell and
Christie, to unite with them and became a s oldier, for the purpose of going against the Cherokee .nation of Indians, that he did so , and went to
Rendevous at the Long Island of Holston from thence he marched some distance with the main army, and was taken sick with a disease, called in the
army the "Slow Fever" some time in the month of September 1776, and contined thus affected at the place first attacked until the month of February
following when by the assistance of friend and rotation he was enabled to
reach home -- the disease immediately fell in his legs ' and s o disabled
him that he has been rendered helpless ever since, and by no means has he
been able to attend to his ordinary duties, that hs is now
(page) dis ti tute and helpless and dependent upon exertions of a daughter
and wif'e now nearly eighty years old that they afford him but a scanty and

Abraham entering the service as aforesaid i t was well known that he was

got during the time he was in the war against the Cheroche Indians .
Abraham Crabtree is now in indigent Circumstances, and it seems unable
much longer to support h imsel f, his leg at this time is very sore, which
renders him in his opinion unable to give him support. Abraham Crabtree
has always been since t his affiants acquaintance with him a temperate
man man ne:ver intoxicated with spiri tious liquors to his recollections.
Crabtree appears to be a man about eighty years of age and further saith

Copied from Lewisburg, (W) Va, newspaper from microfilm.
rate of 1 7 Aug
1838. CALUMNY EXPOSJ;!:D! Blacksburg, Montgomery Co, Va . July 11. TO THE
PUBLIC- -! feel my self . under the disagreeable necessity of coming forward
to contradict a false and malicious report which was put in circulation
against me, by my enemies in the counties of Giles and Washington.
The
report is·, that I have beat or stabbed a negro man, of my property, in
such a manner that he will die; and some have even said, that he is al-read~ ·dead.
Allow me to state the Facts, which are these:
On Saturday morning, the 7th inst, a horse was offered to me to buy in
Washington County. I got a switch and rode him some distance and returned
him to the owner. I then went to the place where my negroes were at work
with my teams. I asked one of the boys, why he had behaved so badly as
he had done the day before. He gave me some saucy language, which provoked
me to attempt to whip himo But he caught hold of me, and then I tried to
throw him down and to tie him. I forgot to say that I had my knife in my
hand, with which I was cuttin~ the switch to pass away the time , and with
no other view whatever. When we got into the affray, and while we were
scuffling, I was astonished at discoveri ng some blood on hig clothes. I
let him go, and then for the first time thought of my knife, which I found
in my hand with the switch. I examined the boy and found a small cut
under one of his arms, about one half inch deep at most, and about _ ths?
of an inch wide, whj.ch was made during the scuffle; but how i t was done,
I don't know--It never made the boy sick, nor was i t more painful than a
cut on the finger of the same size would have been.--'Ihese are the facts.
I submit them to a dis:passionate public.

To the Senate &amp; house of delegates of Virginia the undersigned residents of those

�WORKSHOP

LOOKING FOR ROOTS TAKES A LOT OF DIGGING
by Cheryl L Cromer *
Finding one's family roots in Southwestern
Virginia requires careful digging into old ,
dusty records . But, as one genealogist said,
"It's a worl d of discovery. "
The Southwestern Virgini a Genealogical Society
held its fourth annual workshop Saturday at
First Uni t ed Met hodist Church i n Salem .
"With the popul arity of 'Roots ,' availability
of records and the increase in courses in
geneal ogy , more people ar e dabbling i n genealogy
as a hobby ," said Netti Schreiner-Yantis , a
guest lecturer and past president of t he National
Genealogical Society.

Archives Genealogica l Institute , s poke

on "Early Settlers of Westem Waters ,"
settlers in what is now Montgomery ,
Floyd and Roanoke counties .
She is a tnistee of the Board of
Certification of Genealogists and
lives in Springfield .
Anyone can trace his family tree, she
said. "Start with yourself and go
back .... a lot of people try to hook
onto s ome illus trious ancestor, for
instance.
"Ask the older people i n the family

ques tions , t hen us e area res ources -- county
records , obi tuari es , t ombst one records -- t o
connect the f amil y ."
Genealogi s t s use l ibrary r es our ces and government
r ecords as clues to family lines . Knowing t he
hi s tory of a stat e or county hel ps pinpoint
mi gration trends , us eful i n t racing ancestors
and t heir homes , Ms . Schrei ner-Yanti s said .
"If you know the his t ory of your area , you can
guess what r ecords could have been made .
"Put your ances t ors i n thei r own background,"
s he sai d . "Find out why and how they lived,
not jus t who married whom.''

the Virgi nia Stat e Li brary Archives , spoke on

Using records saves time and energy for the genealog ist , he s a id .
"You can do an awful lot of research at home without tearing around the
countryside . Just be sure to double check everything .
"What the records tell us depends on the emotiona l baggage we carry with
us," Salmon said. In the enthusiasm of dis covery , many p eopl e r ead in t o
a :r:ecord, assuming it is important because of the family l ink .
"Go to
the original source if at all possible."
After a joumey to Maryland, Frieda Iavison found h er original s ourc e -a 18th century tombstone to an ancestor ' s grave .
She stopped in for the
Salem meeting on her way home to Johnson City, Tenn.
"Genealogy is an addition," Mrs. :r:a.vison said , " You find the answer to
one question and five more pop up. "
A medical librarian at East Tennessee State University, Mrs . Iavison began tracing her father's family a few years ago.
"My father ' s a great

storyteller.
down.

rt dawned on me that somebody should be setting his stories

"Then I traced my mother ' s family, then my husband ' s ...... . i t just
snowballed."
Not every family has a famous ancestor, she said, "but there are always
some characters in every faIQily ."
The hobby can be expensive "and time-consuming ," said Inez St . Clair of
Salem.
Mrs. St.Clair, a retired nurse, has traced one family line back to 1616.
She and Eloise Crosswhite of Salem picked up the hobby after retiring.
"It's something new, " said Mrs. Crosswhite, a retired school teacher .
"I'm just having fun finding out what the world's all about . "

Editor's note : Notice the map on the wall in the picture of SchreinerYantis &amp; Salmon. This map is on a sheet . I do not know how Netti reproduced the map but one way would be a slide and projector or the use of
an opaque projector in drawing the map on the sheet .
A very compact way
of traveling with a large map --. no tears and easy to see -- especially
from the back row.

THE LAST WORD
I Imow I'm behind - again - but hopefully this issue will arrive before
the end of August . As you all know summer is very hectic and for me this
year has seemed e:ven more so . We wanted to put the workshop in this issue
- s o one delay . Nettie spoke from notes so no copy of her speech .
How
about the pictures -- if you were there , find yourself or . your fr:tends .
We also had a guest from Galifomis -- a visitor wh~ was in ~al em .
So
glad to see the out-of- towners -- sorry that I didn t have time to speak
to all.
My summer has been full of joyful and sad events -- weddings • Children

home for visits (from Texas &amp; DC ) , trips to courthouses -- sad ones , funerals
- selling my Mother's home and finding out the result of her last physical.
At 95 she is a beautiful, loving person.
JOB OPENING - co-Editors: Of our local members there should be a couple
of members who could be co-editors to take over if circumstances arise
that I will not be able to put the VAN out in November.

L~GISLATIVE

PETITION

County Meetj rlf~ i11 Floyd .
Pursuant to notice a meet in g of the citizens of Floyd County was held
at their Court House , on Saturday 8 th inst , to pass resolutions concerning
the Distillir.,cr of Grain in to Whi s key . Henry Deskins Srg was called to the
chair , who expl-i.ir.ed the objects of the meeting, and Co'l John Williams
appointed secretary .
J . J . ~.Jill iams addressed the house in a Short &amp; pertinent speech &amp; presented th e follo wing resolutions
Whereas : We the people of the County of Floyd in public meeting assembled,
deplorin g th e unhappy state of affairs produced by an inordinate thirst for
s peculation , particula rly in a rticles of huino? necessity , the principal
s ufferers from which are the needy &amp; unprotected fam ilies of the poorer
classes ; and d e precating the conduct of the unscrupulous , who ought to be
the warmest friends of the country -- who instead of supporting the Government , are buyin g up large quantities , &amp; all the surplus of Grain produced
by the Country for the purpose of distilling it into whiskey(underlined i n
original) -- Therefore be it
Resolved, I
That inasmuch as the County has furnished its quota of men
to the Confederate service , the most of which is actual labor from the fields,
and in th e event of a failure of the Grain Crops the ensuing year, every
cons ideration of safety &amp; Humanity requires us to protect ourselves , &amp; provide for the families of the absent , by husbanding our resources, &amp;thwart
if possible the s chemes of the Distiller , who seeks the destruction of, &amp;
perversion from its ordinary channel s , the fruits of our industry .
Resolved II That we condemn in the strongest tenns the erection &amp;
putting into operation the Distilleries in our county , consuming in a few
months the entire produ c ts of the County &amp; petitions the Legislature to pass
general Laws , prohibiting the Distilling of Grain into whi skey throughout
the State , d u ring the Continuance of the present war , as we in duty bound
s hall ever pray &amp;e?,
Resolved III That a copy of t0ese resoluti ons be transmitted each to
our Delegate &amp; Senator i n the Legislature , requesting them to lay them before
their respective houses , and that they be instructed to vote (underlined in
petition) for the same &amp; that these preceedings be published in the Richmond
&amp; Lynchburg papers .
P . Howell Esq in a lengthy speech objected to the Resolut ions , but they
passed the Hou se unanimonsly - there being not a single dissenting voice

copies from Lewisburg, (W) Va, newspaper , from microfil~ . D:i,te of 17 Aug
18J8.
"MURDER MOST FOUL AND UNNATURAL ." The painful duty devolves upon
us to record one of the most cruel and savage murders , ever known to have
been perpetrated in our section of country.
Two children of Mr . George
Mays who resides at the Warm Springs, Bath County, were one day last week
most barbarously murdered by two of his female slaves.
The children we
understand were between six and nine years of age .
When murdered , they
were on their return fr~m a school a short distance from the Warm Springs ,
and were found with their throats cut and schokingly mangled.
We have no information of the particulars of this horrid Transaction.
The negroes have confessed the crime, and they were incited to the deed
by a malignant spirit of revenge, for some slight correction they had
previously received from their mistress, noted for her kindness , attention and indulgence to her servants.
To Mr. and Mrs . Mays this unhappy
berenvement is peculiarly afflicting, as these two murdered children were
the only survivors of four or five others who met an early gi:ave.

25 th 1863

Dear Bro &amp; Sister
As it has been some time since I wrote you , I thoug ht I would write
to- night. We are al l well at present .
Mr . H is not a t ho me at this time .
He has been absent for two weeks. He went to '1 /ythevill e l ast Thursday one
week ago •• I suppose he has been visiting his r e latives .
I e xpe ct him
home in a few days . We heard from Frank last week.
He was n ear Chatanoo ga
Tenn . Was not very well when he wrote . I came from the riv e r this evening .
I have been helping mother to make apple butter .
They were all we ll.
Pop
says you can get some leather from Sinsz. and also that cotton that was
coming to you . He has several bales of cotton yarn for sale.
if you want
to purchase now is your time . You had better come soon , or it will all be
gone . I t is going very fast . Try and make it convenient to come and stay
with us all night. You are always in such a hurry when you come ove r here
that I scarce have an opportunity of conversing with you .
I suppose you
have heard of Barbara Woolwines death
?
this she died of Dypheria a
few weeks ago. Jinnie has been very unwel l . She is teething.. I think
this causes her to be puny. She is some better now. How are Annie and
Jinnie? I would like very much to see them and all the family.
I will
try and come over if I can before the weather gets bad .
I would like very
much to do so , if the Yanks do not get you .
I hope you may be unmolested
this winter. The relations g enerally are well.
I will now try and g ive
you some of the general news . Henry Dennis has sold his property to Flinn
from Dublin. He moves today and is going to keep tavern.
I am g lad of it .
We need a tavern in this town to entertain strangers. Black Mary is dead .
She died with the disease you said she ha d, poor creature .
I suppose you
have heard of Robert Bro thertons decease . He died with fever.
His was a
triumphant death. "Let me die the. death of the righteous." Square Billy
Snidow died with the same disease . Death is not confined to any particular
place. James Adams is dead also . And many more that I do not remember
at this time. Mrs Thrasher is at home. She is still increasing in size .
rapidly I understand . Beck says please send her that flannel for Jinnie's
dress and petticoat of the first chance . Excuse this badly written and
dictated letter. I did not feel like writing to- night and have had to
entertain company and laugh with Beck a I do not often apolo gize but am
really ashamed of this blotted paper . Writ e to me soon, not a short
letter, but a long interesting one and I wi ll endeaver to do better next
time. Accept our love and kiss the children for me .
Your affectionate Sister

�BOOK REVIEW
by Belva Counts
J o hn and Edward Tuck of Halifax County , Virginia,
and Some of Their Descendants
compiled by
Aletha J ane Macon
The Tucks of Virg inia a r e descended from an English family chiefly of CountJ
Kent , but al s o of London a nd Norwich .
In the Seventeenth Century many Tucks
emigrated from the old Country to the Colonies . Robert Tuck, "a chirurgeon,
vinter and tailor" came in 1636 from County Suffolk to settle first in Massachusetts, later in New Hampshire where he founded a numerous family.
Amo ng
those of the name who came to Virginia in the early years were: Woodland
Tuck in 1642 ; Ann Tuck in 1652 ; William a nd Robe rt Tuck who in 1657 had headrights of 730 acres of land each in New Kent County . Nothing further is
known of these early settlers .
This compilation deals almost entirely with the descendants of J ohn and Edw~
Tuck of Halifax County, Virginia, whose direct ancestry has not been determined.
They, and a Thomas Tuck, who may have been a brother~ appeared in. Halifax
County about the time it was cut off from Lunenburg in 1752, acquired land,
established homes and reared large families, the descendants of whom are
scattered throughout our nation.
John Tuck (1730-1801) married Mary Powell (1733-1828), daughter of Edward
and Elizabeth Powell.
From his will of 1801 the following children were
named: Sarah, Elizabeth, Edward (Ned) , Mary Achsah, Ezra, Robert, Richard,
Benjamin (Bennett), John , Jane , and Da.vid.
His descendants are numerous and
widely scattered throughout our nation. Large numbers are to be found in
Virginia, many in Halifax County.
In 1945 a great-great-great grandson living
in that County, William Munford Tuck was elected Governor of the Commonwealth
of Virginia.
Edward Tuck , b. ca 1730 d . 1781 (will recorded May 17 , 1781) , listed the
following children:
Mary , Moses , Josiah, Edward , Cary, Sarah, Vashti,
Tabitha and Susannah .
His wife's name was unknown .
The book has a hard cover , 218 pages, a bibliography, indexed ( 25 pages),
with the price of $13.00 . The book may be ordered from Mrs . Al Amundsen,
2 D Country Club Apts., Greenville, Alabama 36037, A gift copy to the Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society has been placed in the Virginia Room
of the Roanoke City Public Library.

�HIGHLIGHTS IN THE EARLY HISTORY OF MONTGO.' ERY cou: :TY '

\'I i ~G r :: r A

By Lu la Por terfiel d Givens
Montgomery County , Virg i nia, l ie s a t t he sou t hwe s ter n tip o f the Val l ey
of Virginia between the Allegha ny a nd the Blue Rid ge l.1ou n t a ins .
It ha d b een
originally a part of Augusta Cou nty, formed in 173 8 an d wit h d ivis i ons was
formed in 1777 from Botetourt a nd ex t inct Fi nc a s tl e Countie s .
Be ing fo rme d
one year after the death of a n Amer ica n Revol uti o na r y Wa r off i cer , Richa rd
Montgomery , it seemed fitting that t he c ou nty shou l d bea r his name . He wa s
the first officer of high rank i n the Ame r ican a r my t o be k i ll ed , an d h is
death saddened both officers and so ldi e r s .
Richard was the son of Thoma s a nd Ma r y Fran k li n Mon t gome r y , and was bo r n
in Swords County , Dublin, Ireland . He ma rri e d Janet Livi n g s t on i n 1 773, th e
daughter of a weal thy judge and land owne r , J ud ge Li vi ng s t on in Ne w Yo rk City .
In Drapers Meadows were the Drapers and In g le s fam i 1 i es , who we r e na ti ves
of Ireland . George Draper and Eleanor Harden Dra per h a d two children , Mary
and John. Mary Draper married William I ng les, a s o n of Thoma s I n g l es , in 1750.
John Draper married Betty Robinson in 175 4. William Ingl es was o n e o f the gentle justices of the first court of Fin ca st le, pre sent Montgomery , and a signer
of the Fincastle Resolutions, an important document drawn up at F ort Chiswe ll
(Wythe County). other gentle justices appoint e d by Patrick He n ry we re Walter
Crockett, James Mccorkle, James McGavock, John Montgomery, William Preston ,
James Robertson, James Thompson and Stephen Trigg·
William Christian was a patriot, policy maker, and defender of the fronti er•
His parents, Israel and Elizabeth Stark Christian , emigrated from northern
Ireland to America in 1740. William was born on Christian's Creek near Staunto!'1
Virginia , in 1742 where his parents opened a general store. He married Anne
Patrick, Patrick Henry 's sister , about 1768. William Christian moved his family to Kentucky in 1785, and he died there April 9, 1786. Chr isti ansburg, th e
seat of Montgomery County , was fittingly named for this brave and able defende r
of the frontier in early days .
Dr. John Blair Radford, for whom the city of Radford was named, came from
Bedford County in 1836 to the area, and married Elizabeth Campbell Taylor on
May 31, 1836. Descendants of the Radfords married into the families of Adams,
Moore, Yancey and others. The Radford home,, Arnheim, st ill stands today and i s
used as an annex to Radford High School .
Jane Buchanan Floyd is typical of the many frontier women who went with
their husbands into a wilderness land to sustain and comfort them.
She was the
daughter of John and Margaret Patton Buchanan and a granddaughter of James and
Mary Osborne Patton. Jane Buchanan married John Floyd in October, 1778 . Jane ' s
son , John Floyd, Jr., became governor of Virginia in 1830. Floyd County,
formed from Montgomery, was named for him.
The book has 183 pages with a bibliography, and contains an appendix with
a chronology of early Mont gomery County, Virginia, from 1671 to 1867, and copies
may be ordered from Patricia Givens Johnson, Route 2, Box 172, Christiansburg VA
24073 . The price per copy is $5.95 plus 50¢ postage. A copy of this book ha~
bee n given to the William Fleming High School Library, Roanoke, Virginia, by t he
author. There is a genealogy club in the school.

"Boone Genealogical Quarterly,." Vol. III , #1, Jan . 1980: ... • • An armchair
genealogist i s a different breed from the people who travel and do research
We are always looking for that very important letter or book which give us
a cl ue to our ancestors, while the person who travels is not only finding
n ew i nfo:rn.ation, they are having the thrill of seeing where their ancestors
actua lly lived.
Whatever your mode of research is, I hope you
will conti nue to write thos e letters, share the bi ts of information and
enjoy y our family roots. '.fhe information I have and do not share is usel ess t o me and t o my fellow genealogist, because without comparing notes
we sometimes overlook our best_ clues and miss out on a lot of family history.

;w DEAR EM!v1A
(War Le tter s of Colone l Jame s K . Edmondson

18 61 - 1865)

Ed i t e d by
Cha rl es W. Tur ne r, Ph . D .
Pr ofesso r of Hi story
Washin gt on a nd Lee Uni v e rsity

" My Dea r Emma is a vo l ume of life and wa r letters to his wife of
Colo nel James K. Edmond s on, a n outstanding figure of Lexington, whose
life spanned across the 19 t h ce ntury . Everything he did well, even the
letters were mod els of penmanship and a delight to read. His concern
for hi s family and his g ood wo rks of the a r ea bespeak of a noble and
able person."
PREFACE
James K. Edmondson was born February 11, 1832 at "Savernake" farm
two miles southwest of Buena Vi sta . His parents were James and Margaret
Edmondson. In 1857, h e married Miss Emily (Emma) Jane Taylor of Staunton,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Taylor. Emma's sister, Laura, married
Albert Marshall Moore and died very young, leaving two little girls, Mary,
age 5, and Frances, age 3. James and Emma Edmondson had no children of
their own and raised the two girls . Frances married Paul M. Penick; and
Mary married Edward Robinson. One grandniece, Miss Mary M. Penick, gave
the 139 letters to the Rockbridge Historical Society in 1956, and the
other Penick sister, Mrs. Frederick Pearse, supplied illustrations for
the text of this book .
Edmondson ' s letters, beginning April 19, 1861, were regular and
detailed of the happenings of the Confederate Army . The last war letter
was May 4 , 1863 written to Emma by L . C. Vass , Chaplain 27th Virginia
Infantry , informing her of her husband ' s loss of his left arm in the
battle of Chancellorsville. This would necessitate his retiring from
active service and returning to Lexington where he would do his part for
the war effort from there . When he returned to Lexington in the summer
of 1863 , he was made commander of the Military Post at Lex i ngton. James K.
Edmondson was surely one of the ou t standing Lexingtonians of his day . He
had been a soldier , politician , judge, business man and loyal servant of
his alma mater, Washington and Lee University . He passed away March, 1898,
and his funeral was held at the Lexington Presbyterian Church where he had
been a deacon for many years. The Pastor, Dr. Thornton Whaling, conducted
the service, and his remains were placed in the Stonewall Jackson Cemetery,
as reported in the Lexington Gazette, April 6 , 1898.
The book has 151 pages, hard cover, index, footnotes and illustrationso
A gift copy from the author to the Southwestern Virginia Genealogical
Society has been placed in the Virgi n ia Room of the Roanoke City Public
Library. A copy may be ordered from Professor Charles W. Turner, Washing ton
and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia 24450 . The price is $8.00.

THE LAST WORD
Now if I can think of everything I

thought of while putting this issue togethe.:::-.
We have finished Vol . I of the Botetourt Co . marriages in this iss ue ·
There
are other volumes -- should they be published the same way or be condensed
just to names of groom, bride , parents &amp; date .
Express your opinion?
Again -- PLEASE send ~t of address9'8 as s oon as poss ible .
Postage is
eating us up . I know at times it is our fault and we pay ( ocassionaly the
handwriting is hard to read). We are trying to send out P·""&gt;S t cards to those
wh~uarterlies are being retu:rned . At least the cards will be forwarded .
If you know of a death of one our members, let us know .
Many of you I have
wri tten to and feel like I know -- even some are " kis s in ' Kin " - - a nd we would
like to put a notice in the VAN. We correspond with people and then no ans wer
-- what has happened . Of course, sometimes they are like me -- to busy to
answer my own personal letters .
WHO WAS LIVING IN THE TOWN OF ROANOKE IN 1882? If you know, help us .
Roanoke
will be celebrating its 100th birthday in 1982 .
We would like to have a list
of the people who were living here in 1882 and, if possible , INFORMATION on
them. The leaders of the communi ty are usually easy to find out about , but
how about the "common" folk? We might not be able to publish all material
we will obtain from you all , but it will be placed in the Virginia Room of
the main Roanoke City Public Library . We will especially need the help of
all our local people to aid in the research ! Send any material you have to

Dear Member :
I hav e c ertainly en joyed being y our Treasurer this year, for you a re undoubtedly
t he nices t people any organization could have as members . Your prompt replies
t o my l ittl e n o tes and y ou r many kind notes to me have made my job easier and
more pleasurabl e . Now I need t o ask once again your special help and cooperation .

I
J

J

We are mos t anxious t o keep ou r du es a t their pres ent level, but inflation is
hurting u s as i t i s e v e ryone else and we a re looking for ways to practice some
nec essary econ omies . We believe that with your help we can keep our expenses down.
'Ihe f :.rs t thing we ask is that you send in your membership renewal promptly so
that t h ere will be n o break i n your service , Special mailings to members who
have r enewed l a te a re very expensive compared to the bulk mail we normally use.
'Ihe s e c on d thin g we ask i s t ha t you send us prompt notice of any change of
address .
Again , thi s enables u s to avoid the special mailings that are s o
expens ive .
Another reas on f or asking you to renew your membership promptly is to en able us
to g et out our me mbership Directory early in the year. I f our renewals come in
on time, we s ould be able to publish the Directory in February or March. We would
probably get mo r e u se f rom it if it came out earlier. (NO'IE : Plea se be s ure to
fil l ou t you r r e newal notice to show your name and addr~ss as you wish them t o
appear in t he Directory . )

)

Please write me if you ha ve any. suggestions or ideas . In t he meantime, thanks
again for your cooperation .
Sincerely,
(Mrs , ) Mandia E . Dy~r, Treasurer

'f e - HE fl I\ '/E

Well, this is it , Good People .
This is my
swan s ong . Your Nom i nating Commi ttee (Marian
Landress , chairman , E~liott Ramsey, and Jim Avery)
is actively engaged in putting together a s late
of candidates for considera tion at our November
meeting.

I'll take thi s opportunity to thank the
other offic ers who have se rved so wholeheartedly
during the past year .
'Ihey were the tie-t hat-b i~ds the whole organization
together and handled all those tasks required to keep any organizati on g oing .
And it was through the efforts of editor o f our Virginia Appalachian Notes
(VAN) that brought most of you into our S oci ety .
This fact was brought
forcefully home to me when I contacted memb ers as my wi fe and I vacationed
in Texas this past August.
I am deeply gratefu l for a ll the work they ha ve
all done.
Planned activities for the year (January VAN ) came off as sc hedul ed .
'Ihose who attended our extra-library me etings see med to have enjoyed themselves --- Fincastle County C, H. ; Gen ea logy 1:/orkshop 8 0; Eas t Hill Ceme tary
(Salem, Va.) gravestone plotting a nd " rubbing "; and , vi s its to Pulaski County
graveyards . Unfortunately, no one show ed up to claim the g oodies offered to
attract out- of-State members to our Open House in July.
One last thought: please make i t a point to get informed on the implica- '
tions to genealogists implicit in the various unnatural ways now being
considered by genetecists for human reproduction techniques.
We are actively
exploring the subject in our regular meetings .
Any significant developments
will be passed on in the VAN .
Well, thats all for now.

Corne to visit us in person when you can.

In the meantime, keep those cards and letters (and checks) corning.
Bruce Anderson , Jr .

" PATRICKS " WHO SERVED IN CONFEDERATE ORGANIZATIONS IN THE WAR
BETWEEN THE STATES
The following n ames were found on the microfilm copy of the Consolidated
Index to Compiled Service Records ~ Confederate Soldiers which is part of a
body of record s in the Na tional Archives designated as Record Group 109, War
Department Collect ion of Confederate Records. The Consolidated Index . . .
contains "all the n ames of Confedera te soldiers foun in the records u sed in
compilin g service records f or each soldier ."
These comp i l ed servi c e records are arranged according to a complicated
organizatio n al breakdown beginning with the state or Confederate Army organization.
With the f ollow]ng l is t, a searcher gains to the compiled service records.
Included in the se r ecord s are abstracts of entries for each soldier found in
original mu s ter rolls, returns, rosters , payrolls, appointment books, hospital
registers , Union prison registers and rolls, parole rolls and inspection
reports.
The first column in the following list is the name of the soldier as i t
appears in service records; second, the entering rank; third, the final rank;
and fourth, the company and outfit with whom the soldier served.
The last section, "Miscellaneous" are those outfits which do not indicate
a particular s tate affiliation. Further research will be required to determine
where the original records will be found .
There are definite short-comings to this list: (1) Spelling is as it appears
on the records . This causes many problems. One specific problem is that different
officers may spell one man's name in tiifferent ways, thus causing several
different sets o f records.
Also, nicknames and variant names may also be used.
Thus, J., J. J ., Joe, and Joseph J. may possibly be the same person. Only
a detailed inspection of the compiled records may indicate if this is the
case. (2)
The Confederate Records are organized by outfit. Thus, i f two
regiments or batteries consolidated, there is an entry for each soldier in
both the old and the new outfit,

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ?
Copied from WESTERN VIRGINIA (newspaper) , Charles ton , (W ) Va., from
microfilm, date of 20 May 1823

Mr. Editor . A few days ago in looking over an eas tern pa per, I di s covered
a catalogue of words entitled the "Wes tern dial ect ," and the "Yanke e dia lect . " The writer is pretty correct so far as he goes ; but he has fo r gotten, or has never been acquainted with many more which might with
propriety, have been added to his list ; and as he has omitted it , I will
beg leave to lay a few before the public , for the information of foreigners .
Mine shall not be entitled the Eastern nor Western dialect ; but s hall in
a great measure be applicable to Kanawha. The following i s as nea r as I
can guess at it:
Earl =Barrel
Farnence = opposite
Spacia = specie
Bar= Bear
Shouldn ' t ought= ought not
Best man = the greatest bully
Sang = ginseng
Mought = might
Needcessity = necessity
Pultry =poultry
Guine = going
Totial = total
Gi n = gave
That ' s what I look at= that ' s what astonishes me Mather = madder
Stomp = stamp
Stob = stab
' Lexion = electi on
Sartin = certain
Tote = carry
Shot = shut
"Coon of a fellow = a shrewd fellow
Saft = soft
Poweif'ul sight = a large quantity
Cot ch ' d =caught
Indeever = endeavour
Taters = potatoes
Fetch = fetch
Poke = pork
Better nor that = better than that
Saunt = sent
Smowtch = ki ss
Sense = since
Do you mind? = do you remember
The above is all I at present recoll ect , and I wil l only add a few r i diculous phrases: "to sut(soot ) and ashes , " as " I can run to sut and ashes , "
" I can knock you to sut and ashes, " &amp;c . A. excl aims , "I can knock down
a nd drag out a camp- meet i ng of you - -eat , drink and fight a camp- meeting !''
B s ays, " I can eat a funeral , whip a funeral , lift a funeral , &amp;c .
P
=== ====================== ============================~=-=======================

THE LAST WORD:

I just knew that this time I would have a very good ' Last
word " but a fraid that I am not in mood. We will be l eaving tomorrow for
the fun e ral of Claude 's a unt.

PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE
Greetings ! By now you should have your copy of the Society ' s "Membership
Directory . - 1980 ", It s hows 126 members in Virgi nia and 2 14 members in other
states , for a whopping total of 340 .

Activities planned for 1980 are coming off as sc heduled . Turnout for
the Genealogical 1tlorkshop (11ay) was s maller than expected --- partly due to
a goof by the local post office which return ed an unknown number of properly
addressed applications . Those who came received many good , practical tips
on how to go about nurs i ng your genealog ical gleanings into book form from
Jess Carr. Pauline Dunn ' s description of th e treas ure trove of genealogical
data contained in the American Indian Record s in our Na tional Archives
caused many of us to s tart fi guring out how to get down to D.C . this summer .
An unusually large group turned out to plot grave s ites at East Hill
Cemetary ( Salem , Va .) in June . Jim Avery had the task well planned as a
result of good coordination with the Roanoke Valley Histori cal Society . J ohn
Burrows showed us how to "rub" a graves tone . (I put John ' s techniques to
work two weeks later when I plotted graves on my Grandfa ther William Henry
Speas ' es place down in Forsyth County , N.C.)
By the time you read this , our Open House (July 19th) will be "un fait
accompli. " Here ' s hoping that I get a chance to meet many of our out-ofstate members •. .. . Don ' t forget to tell John Burrows ((703) 982-2872 ) that you
will be with us when we join members of the New River Valley Historical
Society in October to tour the newly dedicated "Alexander House" in Dublin
and the nearby Pulaski County Court House ,

And don't forget --- keep those cards &amp; letters comin '.

OBI'IUARY OF COL . ANDREW JOHNSON
Copied from Lewisburg , (w) Va , newspaper from microfilm. rate of 7 Dec.
18J8: DIED.
At his late residence at Giles c. H. Va. on Wednesday the
14th inst . Col . Andrew Johnston in the 68th year of his age. He was one
of our most distinguished citizens , and through life was characterized by
a highminded and gentlemanly deportment , and an unflinching integrity
rarely equalled . About two years since he made a profession of reli gion
and attached himself to the Baptist Church, since which time his steady
christian demeanor and constant attention to all the duties of religion,
has evinced the sincerity of his profession and done honor to the cause
he had espoused . His death was preceded by a most distressing illness of
near three weeks , during which he gave strong evidence of the efficacy of
the Christian religion to soothe the bed of affliction , and light up the
dark valley and shadow of death. He was not herd to utter a complaint
but with truly christian resignation committed himself to the keeping of
him who judgeth righteously "he was often heard to say that his only hope
and consolation was in the blessed Saviour of sinners, and when scarcely
able to articulate his lips were still seen to move and his voice heard
to whisper in prayr , thus he passed away from a world of affliction to
the bosom of his God. He has left an affectionate family and a numerous
circle of relatives and friends to mouxn a loss which cannot be easily
repaired, as a magistrate, a citizen and a christian, his memory through
succeeding years will call up a tribute of melancholy yet pleasing reflection in the minds of all who knew him and were ca~able of estimating his
wortho

BOTETOURT CO., VIR::;INIA

VAR appreciates very much that the Col. William Preston Chapter, DAR, of
Roanoke, Va. , for allowing us to publish the following records . This volume
of marriage bonds was in book form and has been retyped £or VAN.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------MARRIAGE RECORLB OF BOTETOURT CO. , VIfilINIA
1770 - 1790
VOLUME I
Compiled by
Charles T. Burton
Vicie W. Fowler
Sponsored by
Col. William Preston Chapter
National Society Laughters of the American Revolution
The sponsoring of this book
is a part of the observance of
the Bicentential Year
1776 - 1976

Every precaution has been taken to insure the accuracy of this copy of
the Marriage Bonds and Minister's Returns on file i n the Botetourt County,
Virginia, Courthouse, Each document has been carefully examined by several
persons familiar with the script of earlier days; both English and German ,
Where several interpretations are possible, the most plausible one is found
herei n. In some instances, a second possibility is noted.
It is interesting to know some of the rules gove:rning the early marriages
of this state. Before 1780, all marriages were supposed to be performed by
a minister of the Church of England, who was to keep a list of them, to be
turned over to the Secretary of the Commonwealth. A great many of such lists ,
if they were kept, were never tu:rned over to the state.
In Botetourt County , where a great majority of the county officials ,
and even the vestrymen of the Church, were of Scotch-Irish and Presbyterian
backgrounds, these Marriage Laws were not rigidly enforced,

There were two methods by which the Minister was authorized to perform
the marriage rites; one is generally ref erred to as "by bond, '' and the other
"by banns" or "by publication. " By bond, the groom and his surety would sign

�48

a bond for fifty pounds (later, one hundred and fifty dollars) payable to
the King (later, to the Goveznor) , to guarantee that a ma rriage would take
place with the girl, if there were no legal objections .
Legal objections
were: the refusal of a parent to give consent , if either party was under the
age of twenty-one ; either party having a living , legal husband or wife , etc .
When this bond was presented to the Clerk of Courts , he would sign i t , thus
giving authority , or license, to the minister to perform the ceremony .
By the other method, the intended marriage was announced a t public worship service , for three weeks , a nd if no objections were heard , the ceremony
was performed. A list of these marriages was to be kept by the minister,
and a copy sent to the Clerk of Courts , within three months.
The fee charged
for a marriage by this method , was only one-fourth that for the "bond" method.
Ministers of other denomiations performed marriages , t hat were considered legal only by members of that denomination, and were not recorded at the
Courthouse.
Some denominations considered marriage a sacrement , the same as baptism
and the Lord's Supper, and should not be regulated by any other a uthority
than the church , and that there should be no costs, s uch as fe es , involved.
So , we have some of the reasons why the Courthouse records do not show
all marriages actually celebrated .

In 1780, the law was changed, allowing ministers of other denominations
to qualify to perform ceremonies , and legalizing the marriages performed in
these denominations, in the earlier years.
This law also, required that the
list of marriages performed be sent to the Clerk within three months .
This
was not always done. The Law reads that he who "failing to trans mit such a
certificate to the clerk of the court in due time, shal l forfeit and pay the
sum of five hundred pounds, to be recovered with costs of suit by the informer in any court of record ." To my knowledge, this was never enforced, so it
appears that ministers were allowed to do pretty much as they pleased.
The genealogist wishes there had been more marriages recorded, but he
is amazed and thankful that we have as many as we do.
Charles T. Burton, Rt 2 , Box 191, Troutville, Va . 24175

--------------------------------------------------------------------------This volume is copied according to the year the marriage was preformed
(for VAN it was retyped in alphabetical order - groom ' s name) and copi~d as
the names were listed -- as we read them - - on the bond in the space listed
for the bride and groom, the sureties, and signatures .
We found several
errors on the bonds but made no attempt to correct any errors .
There were
several names in which a "l" should have been a " t", " e " for " i '' --- in fact
just about any letter. I know that just about any name is subject to correction, because on the second go around I ' ve changed my mind. Also noted
genealogical material, unusual information , or spelling from the bonds and
consents . The one thine that I have found out from my experience at abstracting original records is, if at all possible, to OBTAIN COPIES OF THE ORIGINAL
RECORDS because what is copied into the court records or abstracted (such
as we are doing) may be entirely different from the original or the data you

�49

need has been left out .
Mrs. Inez E Good, Assistant Professor Roanoke College, Salem, Va., helped u s with the translation of some of the German names and consents. Mrs.
Good said she is not sure that the translations are correct because of the
difficulty in reading the handwriting. She also put down her "translation"
of the English signatures -- these were included to show the difficulty in
reading the handwriting of that period.
Our abstraction s were compared with the Botetourt County marriages included in "Anna ls of Southwest Virginia 1769-1800" by Lewis Preston Summers
(I was told these marriages were copied by a typist and not by Mr. Summers)
and "Early Marriages, Wills, and Some Revolutionary War Records, Botetourt
County, Virginia" by Anne Lowry Worrell. After each author's name are listed
the differences , if any . If no differences, just the name of' the author or
if the bond was not listed.

�WHITE GATE , GILES COUNTY , VIRGINIA
by Jerri e Atkin*
A large taste of living abroad has convinced the James Bryans there ' s nothing like bu rrowing down in this little Giles County hamlet of some 150 souls •
.. A year ago they bought the old Beauregard Allen home and 250 acres off
Virginia 42 ... . . . . . .. . . . . Although the Allen hous e i s only around 85 years
old , the site is historic . In cleaning out around fencelines , the Bryans
found the wooden sign marking White Gate's first post office in 1842 .
Oddly enough , the community , previously called Rye Meadows and Baneville,
was dubbed White Gate because the first postmaster, John Bane , had a white
gate in front of his house .
The place a lso bustled a lot more in pre- Civil War years .
Bill Bane , Giles County treasurer and a lifetime resident of White Gate,
says it used to be known as an educational hub of the county because it
boasted the Old Academy , one of two institutions of higher lea:rning in Giles.
The Old Academy wasn ' t college caliber or anywhere near it , Bane said.
Rather , th e primitive log structure was the next rung above the one-room
school , kind of equivalent to the current junior high.

BLAND COUNTY VIRGINIA

CE l~SU S

IiiDEX

By Mary- Paul Beaudrias Shannon ~
Bland County was formed in 1861 from Tazewell, Wythe and Giles Counties,
and divided into four districts . In very ge~eral terms, those people in
Sharon and Rocky Gap Districts in 1870 were probably in Tazewe l l in 1860 .
Likewise , those in Seddon District in 1870 were in Wythe County in 1860, and
those in Mechanicsburg District in 1870 were probably in Giles County in 1860 .
The index itself consists of the Head of the Household, the district
abbreviation and the household number. It also contains the first member(s)
of that household whose last name is different from the Head. All surnames
are represented in the index for each household.
Gift copies to the Southwestern \' irginia Genealogical Society from the

MILLS, FRAZIER, AND ALLIED FAMILIES
~ By Margaret Mills Frazier

Margaret Mills Frazier was inspired to search for her ancestors as
she watched our country's 200th Birthday Celebration in 1976. tArs . Frazier 's
choice of drawings for her book cover expressed the situation in researching
each of the families included here- -"The Family Tree - Out on a Limb."
Beginning with her three grandchildren, James Thomas Connor III, James
Henry Boschma III and Stacie Lynn Boschma, her search went back twelve
generations. Records include the families of Adams, Addington, Crank,
Cromwell, Duncan, Elswick , Fraley, Frazier , Green, Hutchinson, Ingram,
Mason , Mills, Moore, Napier, Newberry , Phillips, Powers, Squire, Stallard,
Teal, Thompson, Todd, Wilburn, Williams and others.
The family of Adams, Addington, Mills and Stallard came to the United
States from England ; Duncan and Frazier from Scotland ; Ne wberry and Powers
from Ireland. Some families are traced back to 1500.
Family records include the states of Pennsylvania, East Tennessee,
Kentucky, Massachusetts , North Carolina and Virginia (counties of Culpeper,
Essex, Goochland, Gloucester , Lee, Montgomery , Russell, Scott, Washington
and Wise), and parts of the state of West Virginia .
There are 250 pages of family records with many pictures throughout
the book, with coat of arms and indexed . The book is cloth bound and
Library of Congress catalogued. A copy of the book is in the Virginia Room
of the Roanoke City Public Library and may be ordered from the author,

taken by Joseph Howard commissioner
of the revenue for the year 18J1.
Floyd County, Virginia, was formed
1n 1831 , from Montgomery and Franklin
Counties - this should be a list of
most of the people in the county
compare thi s with the 1830 Montgomery
and Franklin Counties censuses .
The abbreviation rep ' s stands for
representatives.
Chistopher Bower

usually mean that Bower was
deceased and the estate had not been
settled .
The 'abbreviation ' - Isaac Booth A. son

likely Abner (the only A. listed in

pa s ture, " according to a l ocal resident. This is the B l a nton Fam ily
Cemetery, n ear Whitewright, Texas , but in Fan nin Coun ty . The e l dest
son of Achilles Womack married Maggie B l a nto n , and ev id ent l y Achi lles
was living with this young family at the time of hi s death . His g ra v e is
inside a very o ld iron fence, n ear th e entrance to th e Cemetery, has

Family members have stated that a "wagon train of Wornacks" came to
Texas about the same time, a nd Jay's Dad (Arthur Virgil Womack ) to ld
us an Uncle came a long, but we ha ve not verified th e nam es of those w ho
came to Texas in 186 0, along with Achilles and fam ily . It is very probable
that John Daniel Womack (from Pittsyl vania County, Virginia ) was o ne of
those who came at that time, s inc e he lived in Lama r county near the same
time period. John Daniel Womack was a third cous in ..of Achilles, as they
were both gra ndsons of William Womack (1710 _ 1792) There were a lso
.families by the name of Gish, Pearcey and Danie l in Lamar Co unty , Texas
circa 1860-1870, and it is possible these famili es were all related.

Sealed w ith our Seals and d ated this 4th day of January 1830. The
Condition of the above obligati on is such, that whereas a marriage
is short l y intended to be h ad and solemnized between the above
bound Ach illes Womack and Polly Bowye r , now if there shall be
no l awfu l c a us e to obstruct the said marriage, the above obligation
to be void, otherwise to rema i n in fu ll forc e and virtue. "
Signed
by Ach ille s Womack and Adam Boyer .
Achill es i s mentioned in th e will of his father, Daniel Womack, probated
in Bedford County, V ir g inia in March of 1 830. This wi ll mentions the wife,
N a ncy, and twelve chi ldr e n (all n a mes given). Evidently final settlement of
Daniel' s estate did not take place until after the death of Nancy • . • circa
18 50. By that t i me it appears tha t only eight ch ildren were still living as
the estate wa s div ided into nine parts • •• and one of those parts w as to the
h e irs of a dec ease d d a u g hter, Julia Be nson Womack Burson.
On the 1 8 30 Ce nsus of Bedford County, Virgin ia the name Ach illes W.
Womack ap p ears (age be tween 20 - 30). Th is is the only instance I have
ever seen his name wi th a middle in itia l. His w ife at that census ye ar was
also b etwee n the age of 20 and 30. We ha ve never found any further record
of Polly Bowyer Womac k, and assume she died. J ay reme mbers his Grand fathe r stating that his father was mar r ied twice • . • "but there warn't no
childr e n by th e fi rst union."
On 4 January 1840, in Roanoke County, V i rg i nia, Achilles Womack and
Anna Carney were m ar ried • • • ten years to the day from the date of the
marri age bond betwee n Ach ill e s and Polly! This bond was unrecorded in
Roanoke County records in 1973 when we v isited the courthouse. Kent Womack
found the bond in the drawers of " loos e" bonds i n the courthouse, and I gave
it to a clerk in th e office a nd as k e d that she ind ex it for their records (after
securing a photocopy) .
Anna Carney was the daughter of C harles Carney and Susannah (Gish) Carney.
The Woma c k family remembers that Charles Carney was not happy about the
marri age, and since Achilles was 1 6 years o lder than Anna, it is easy to understand his con ce rn .
C harles Carney' s w ill was dated 5 July 1853 (with a codicil
dated 15 July 1853, and probate d in August, 1853 - Roanoke County, Virginia) &amp;
stated:
"I h ave given to my daughter Anna Womack her part that may be coming
to h e r, &amp; to all my c hildren except Anna Womack who have receive d
anything from me the same must be cons i dered as apart of what they
are to receive makeing all e qual."
On the 1840 ce n sus of Roan oke County, Virginia, 11 Achilles Wamack" was living
in the house h o ld enumerated i mmed iately following Charles Carney. The one
femal e in Ach ille s ' hou sehold was between 15 - 20 years of age, which would
be the right age bracket for Anna.
These families were also listed in adjacent
households i n the 1850 cens us of Roanoke County (See Census Worksheet).

enume~ated with Georg e Gish is Virginia Ellen - ?
Conjecture only . Susannah_ (Gish) Carney was mother of

Note from Mrs. Jay Womack (Helen Ring Womack ) of 346 1 Manana

My husband's father owns an or iginal copy of the w ill of Isaac Booth.
I ~ave ne:rer known if there was a family relationship or whether this
will was in the Womack's possession because of the fact that Achilles
Womack was a justice of the peace in Montgomery County, Virginia,
and thus was chosen as administrator de bonis non , estate of Isaac
Booth.

TREASURE UP THE MEMORY
By James Frederick O' Nan

*

"Those who do not treasure up the memory of their ancestors
do not deserve to be remembered by posterity."
Edmund Burke
The family O'Nan had its beginning in France. The earli est extant
record of the name in this country is contained in a list of French
(Huguenots) arriving in King William's Town, Virginia, aboard the Peter
and Anthony out of London, England in 1700. From the Virginia Historical
Society Collections, Vol. 5, New Series, pages 24 and 27, "is set down
the name of JEAN ONAN, his wife and one child."
In Peyton Neal Clarke's book Old King William Homes and Families,
there is a biography of one John Onan. The author noted that THIS John
Onan "no doubt descended from the French refugee Jean Onan." These Onans
moved into Woodford and Union County, Kentucky, where the descendants are
now living and spelling the name O'Nan.
Many of the
of The American
register of the
the year 1743",

O'Nans are predominantly Roman Catholic. Listed in Vol . II
Catholic Historical Society is the oldest Catholic Church
original thirteen English Colonies. Under "Baptisms for
one finds this entry:

"Onan, Mary of Denis and Rebecca Onan, baptized December 28th
in parent's house; sponsor, Ann Blainy."
One Dennie Onan signed in 1776 the Dissenter's Petition (Virginia
Historical Magazine - Virginia Legislative Papers PP· 265- 267) • "Whatever
his religious affiliation, every member of the fa~ily can take pride in the
fact that one of his ancestors struck a blow for religious freedom."
Denis Onan, born about 1720, married about 17 40. He was living in
Bucks County, Pennsylvania in 1743, where his daughter Mary was born.
There were three sons, Dennis b. 1748, William b. l753, and James b . 1755 .
(There may have been a daughter, Rebecca, named for her mother, b. 1750).
The family moved back to Virginia and were well established by the year 1776,
for that was the year Deni s Onan, at the age of 55 _ 5 6 signed the Dissenter ' s
Petition. The sons. Dennis, Wil l iam a nd J ames
d th~ir descendants are
chronicled in this book.
an
Dennis O:' nan settled permanently in She l by County, Kentucky· :he name
of his wife is unknown. They were the parents of at least one child, John,
born in Virginia in 1773 .
William O'nan married Mary Ann Carrico b 1757 daughter of Abel and
Elizabeth Sinu:is Carrico. Mary Ann was born
Cha~les county, Maryland ~nd
later moved with her parents to Fairfax Cou t
v·rginia· Mary Ann Carrico
O'Nan's brothers and sisters were William, ~b~i, ~r., Nancy, Simeon, Sally,

=========================================================================
Just a few lines for some 'thoughts' and items of interest
(at least to me) . First, some people misread the letter on
page 158, Nov 1979, and thought that I was correcting Dr.
Chitwood -- he was correcting me.
On p 119 , Aug 1979, I
printed some diseases and what they are called today or what I thought they would be -- Dr. Chitwood wrote
and correct my info.
I'll take his word over mine any
time.
Pedigree sheets are placed in the library and the cards
in our index file -- sometimes we run into people working
on the same families .

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Here I am , s tarting my second year as your president.
Your other officers
and chai:r:persons who will really be handling the many, many tasks that must be
performed are shown on the oppos ite page. (Inside front cover page)

In order to get the ball rolling early for 1980, your executive commi ttee
met in December to develop a proposed list of activities.
That list of activities was approved at the regular meeting of your society on January 19, 1980
and is published elsewhere in this issue.
There are two activities whi ch should be especially interesting: the
Genealogical Workshop on May 17, 1980 and an Open House on July 19, 1980. It
is too early to give spe?ifies for either activity, but pleasant surprises are
being planned for our distant members who attend our Open House. Watch your
VAN for further details.
In closing, I want to offer sincere thanks to those officers,

chai rpers ons

and many others whose efforts made 1979 a successful year.

GF.NEALOGI CAL RESEARCH IN THE VIRGINIA ROOM
by
Carol Tuckwiller

*

If you've ever read any of the numerous books that have been written
on how to trace your family history, you have found in most of them. a
chapter on using the library during part of your genealogical research .
If you have not read them, .you should. THE RESEARCHER'S GUIDE TO AMERICAN
GENEALOGY, by Val D. Greenwood; TRACING YOUR ANCESTRY, by F. Wilbur Helmbold; FUNDAMENTA.LS OF GENEAIDGICAL RE.SEARCH, by Laureen R. Jaussi and Gloria
D. Chaston; SP1PLIFIED GENEALOGY FOR AMERICANS, by Kay Kirkham; and BUILDING
AN AMERICAN PEDIGREE, by Norman E. Wright, are just a. few of the many "howton books that will help you, not only in using a library, but in all phases
of your genealogical research.
Not all libraries have a separate genealogical department, but if you
should live near a library that does have one, you should take advantage of
its sources.
The Roanoke Public Library's Virginia Room houses an excellent col lection of historical and genealogical information relating, not only to Southwest Virginia, but to the entire Commonwealth of Virginia, and t he s urrounding states. Special funds have been established by organizations and by
individuals to help provide a large proportion of the money used in acquiring additional material for the expanding collection. One such fund ,
established by the Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society , has bee n
added to not only by the society, but by individuals who have wished to
contribute o
The Virginia Room collection consists of more than books; informat ion
can also be found in the form of pamphlets, microfilm, microfiche , maps,
newspapers, and personal papers. These various forms contain chur ch recor ds
and church histories, biographies, printed genealogies, state and county_
records (marriages, wills, deeds, tax lists, etc.), cemetery records , shi p
passenger lists, histories of surnames, heraldry, patriotic s ocieti es ,
Revolutionary War and Civil ~Tar histories and records, stat e and county
histories, and census records.

With that many subjects to choose from, one of the basic t ools that
will help you locate books on a particular subject will be t he card catalog.
Each book is catalogued, with a ~ard filed under the autho r's name and under
various subjects covered by the book. For instance , if you are looking f~r
a book on the Davis family, the cards for bOoks wi. th mate r i al on this family
will have the heading DAVIS FAMILY in red capital l e t ters. Information on
a particular county will be headed with the na~ of the county in red capital
letters; i.e., BOTETOURT COUNTY, VIRGINIA - MARRIAGES .
Another basic tool is the bibliography of genealogies. Three of our
most widely used bibliographies are Stuart E . Br own•s VIRGINIA GENEALOGIES:

Genealogical Research in the Virginia Room - continued
A TRIAL LIST OF PRINTED BOOKS AND PAMPHLETS , Robe rt A. Stewart's INDEX TO
PRINTED VIRGINIA GENEALOGIES, and Marion J. Kaminkow 1 s GENEALOGIES IN THE
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS .
Earl G. Swem's VIRGINIA HISTORICAL INDEX is a 2-volume set that wi l l
probably be found in many genealogi cal libraries around the country .
This
index is an excellent guide to the references found in the foll owing:
HENING' S STATUTES AT LARGE
THE LOWER NORFOLK COUNTY VIRGINIA. ANTI QTTARY
TYLER'S QUARTERLY HISTORICAL ILND GENEALOGICA L MAGAZINE
CALENDAR OF VIRGINIA STATE PAPERS
VIRGINIA HISTORICAL REGISTER
VIRGINIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY
WILLIAM AND MARY COLLE GE QUARTERLY, 1st series and 2nd serie s.
All of the publications listed above can be found in the Virginia Room.
Our church records include parish records of the early Episcopal
Church, which was the established church in Virginia until the late l700 1 s.
There are also histories of the various denominations, including William
Hinshaw' s 6-volume set of ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN QUAKER GENEALOGY ..

The collection of individual genealogie s in the Vi rginia Room is expanding. :· Some of these volumes have been published , others are si mply
typewritten copies of family memoirs, still others are bound copies of
family group sheets. Collective genealogies in this colle c tion include
John Bennett Baddie's HISTORICAL SOUTHERN FAMILIES.ll Zella Armstrongv s
NOTABLE SOUTHERN FAMILIES, George N. MacKenzie 's COLONIAL FAMILIES OF THE
UNITED STATES . OF A.MERICA, Frederick A. Virkus' ABRIDGED COMPENDIUM OF
AMER! CAN GENEALOGY, and J runes Savage t s GENEALOGICAL DI CTI ON l\RY OF THE
FIRST SETTLERS OF NEW ENGLAND.
When checking for Revolutionary War records of Virginians, you will
need to look at REVOLUTIONARY WAR RECORDS, VIRGINIA, by Gaius Marcus Brumbaugh, HISTORICAL HEGISTER OF VIRGINIANS IN THE REVOLUTION, by John H
Gwathmey, VIRGINIA SOLDIERS OF 1776, by Louis A. Burgess, and LIST OF
REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS OF VIRGINIA, by Hamilton J .. Eckenrode o The Virginia
Room also has the DAR PATRIOT INDEX and volumes 1-166 of the DAR LINEA GE

BOOKS.
If you are a student of the Civil War period, you will find a good
collection of histories of campaigns and battles, personal narratives a nd
diaries, the OFFICIAL RECORDS OF THE UNION AND CONFEDERATE ARMIES IN THE
WAR OF THE REBELLION, and, on microfilm, the INDEX TO THE COMPILED SERVICE
RECORDS for Virginia soldiers in the Confederate Arnw o
Virginians census records of 1790 and 1800 were destroyedo

The 1 790
census returns were substituted by tax lists from 1782-1785 :for most of
the Virginia counties. These lists are found in a volume titled HEADS OF
FAMILIES AT THE FIRST CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES TAKEN IN THE YEAR 1790 RECORDS OF THE STATE ENUMERATION: 1782 to 1785, VIRGINIA.
Tax records for
those counties not included in this book are found in Augusta B. Fothergill ' s
VIRGINIA TAX PAYERS, 1782-1787.,

�VIRCf NIA APfAL ACH fAN NOTES

Genealogical Research in the Virginia Room - continued
In the Virginia Room we have all of the Virginia census records on
microfilm from 1810-1880, and 1900. The 1890 census for most of the states
was destroyed by fire. Indexes for the censuses from 1810-1850 are on hand,
and for the 1900 census, we have the Virginia Soundex. It wasn ' t until 1850
that the census records gave the name and ag€ of every person in a given
household; before 1850, only the name of the head of the household was give n,
with other members of the family arranged by sex and by a ge groups.
In our vertical file collection, which is arranged alphabetically by
subject, will be found anything from newspaper clippings on old hou ses and
communities, to bible records, cemetery records, or papers on various f amilies .
Other sources in the Virginia Room that are used, particularly for local his tory, are gazetteers and business directories, Roanoke City directories from
1888 to the present, local newspapers on microfilm, and scrapbooks of newspaper clippings.
For anyone needing vital records of Roanoke County, a visit to the
court house in Salem is suggested. Likewise, a visit to the Roanoke Ci ty
Municipal Buildin8 is ne ce ssary for records of Roanoke City residents .
Just as our collection includes compiled court records and his torie s
of counties in Virginia, we are beginning to branch out in obtaining compiled records and hi s to r ies of surrounding states and their countie s . Our
indexes to the censuses of other states now include Ohio , Kentucky, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Indiana.
One source that should not be overlooked is the gene alogical pe r i odical.
THE GENEALO GICAL HELPE R, NATIONAL GENF.A.LOGICA.L SOCIETY QU ARTERLY, and the
AMERICAN GENEALO GIST, just to name a few, publish materi al pe rtaini ng to the
entire country. For Virginia there are the VI RGINIA G~NF.ALOGICAL SOCIETY
QUARTERLY and the VIRGINIA GENEALOGIST. Through subscriptions and through
the Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society's exchange with ot her sociM
eties, the Virginia Room receives genealogical publi ca tions f rom all over
the United States.
With the cost of gas going up, it is not always possible to travel to
various parts of the country to do research. More people are turning to
correspondence for answers to their problems. The staff of t he Virginia
Room is unable to do genealogical research. Ve will , however, answer requests for specific information, if given a .full name , an approximate date,
and a county. If a reference from a particular volume is re quested, we will
be glad to check the reference and send a xeroxed copy of the- record. If
more detailed research is desired, members of the Southwes tern Virginia Genealogical Society will answer requests, or the name of a re s earcher will be
given to you.
The Virginia Room is open .from 9- '5, Mondays - Satur days, except Wednesdays, 12-5. We have microfilm readers, a mi crofi l m reader- printer (25¢ per
sheet), and a xerox machine (15t per shee t) . I f you have an opportunity to
visit our Virginia Room for research, we encourage you to do 50 • We will
be glad to help y ou.

of Vincent Sr o ): Fought in Battle of Point Pleasant; private in
Captain Daniel Smith's Co. In the defense of Fort Chiswell
app ears t he n am e of Vincent Hobbs.
Ezekiel Hobbs, son of Vincent Hobbs, Sr.:
Ezekiel Eo bbs had 22 .children. All are mentioned in the will
along wi th two g randchildren. The will, on file in Abingdo n,
Va. (Wash ington County) is dated 11 Novemh Ar 1831 and probated
27 July 1835.
Ezekiel (born 1762) was born before the Hobbs wove t o
Virginia so he was born in :Maryland. Family papers give t wo
birth dates - one of 1753 and one of ca 1762. He was 72 plus
when he applied for a Revolutionary War pension in 1834. He
entered service from Fincastle County in 1776. You will note
this would make him only 14. This makes the earlier date of
1753 more likely but brings us the question of whether the
last of his children were not step children, perhaps his las t
wife's by h er fir s t marriage. In the will they are listed
after "my remaining children" and they seem to have name s mu ch
different in nature from the first group of child r en.
Ezekiel served under Captain Fulkerson and Colonel Chri s tian;
later under Captain George Adams and Major Daniel Smith and l a s t
under Colonel William Campbell. After service he returned t o
his home on the North Fork of the Holston River in Washing t o n
County near Abingdon, Virginia. He died June 13, 1835.
Mrs. Jg_mes Hobbs of Pikeville, Ky. who sent the info rmation on Ezekiel is the wife of James of Pikeville who has a
chain of variety stores in the area. He is a descendant of
Ezekiel through Ezekiel's son, Shelby Hobbs. Accordi n g to
t~eir infor~ation, · Ezekiel was married three times a nd his last
wife was Elizabeth . Lilly Hobbs, whom he married on or abo u t 2 7
July 1803.
Since my ancestor Nathan, brother of t h e above
Shelby is mentioned in the first group of children and was
born in 1790, Elizabeth Lilly was not his mother and I d o not
know now who his mother was. She may have been a Blub ok
(Blubaugh) since they were nei ghbors of the Hobbs i n Virg i ni a
an~ two other Blubaugh girls married Hobbs .
El iza beth Lilly,
third wife of Ezekiel Hobbs was born ca 1785, place not kno wn
Ezekiel and Elizabeth were married in Washing t o n County, Va .

OBITUARIES FROM A SCRAPBOOK

Andrew Ritchey (my great uncle) born 1874 in Pa. di ed 1966 in Carroll Coun ty,

of people he knew and pasted in his book. Readi ng his book I found many obituaries of people who were born in Virginia. I wonder if they would be of any
interest? About the year 1895 maybe a little later a t rain load of Virgi nian ' s

The AMERICAN LEGION magazine, Jan 980, p 16, has a very good article on " The
Place Namers", The little known agency that tried to make Pittsburgh drop its
"h" has had successes too. The Federal agency or committee , The Domestic
Names Committee of the US Board on Geographic Names, "is the arbiter of the
nation's nearly four million place-names and of the federally-accepted version
of the uncounted millions of foreigh names, including the labels pinned on
topographic features on seabeds and on extraterrestrial bodies. With a mandate extending f r om the s mallest crossroads hamlet to the far side of distant
planets, its decisions effect legal, political, economic, acadis, and even
military matters."
Does anyone know what has been printed by the goveniment on the past name
changes of this agency, The second year of its existence, several thousand
names were involved - - and changed. Maybe this would be on e sourc e t o f i nd
that place that has disappeared.

MEMO TO: National Genealogical Society Membership
FROM: Netti Sch reiner-Yantis, President
Malcolm H. Ster n, N GS Representative, National Archives Advisory Council
Every pe r son who has ever relied on the National Archives for research
assistance should be aware of an alarming recent development which is seriously
threatening your ability to do organized research in the future:
The new Administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA), taking
advantage of the law which makes the National Archives and Records Service a
branch of GSA, has issued orders to disperse many of the collections now housed
in _w_ashington and send them to the regional branch closest to their source of.
ong1n · This . means that searchers in military or immigration or similar colle_ctions
of records will have to pursue the data all over the country in assorted regional
offices, many of them already ill-equipped to s~rvice the many researc~u::fi.3 who
would now be seriously augmented in numbers.
In the opinion of many knowledgeable people, including members of the
Citizens• Advisory Council to the Archives, this misguided move must be stoppe~
o: ou~ National Archives will cease to be the great central resource for genealogists ,
historians, and authors, that it has always been.
Some of the important collections are already being processed for dispersion.
Many of us are addressing individual letters of protest to David

~ubenstein

in the Office of Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs and Policy' The

White House, Washington, DC 20500. Letters may also be sent to your Senators
[Washington, DC 20510] and to your Congressmen [Washington, DC 20515] to
make known your views mn this matter.
Whatever you can do to disseminate this information will be appreciated by
every American concerned with the future of the National Archives and Records
Service.

IT IS OUR INTENTION TO KEEP NGS MEMBERS INFORMED OF EVENTS OF
INTEREST THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY SO THAT THEY MAY HAVE A

"It's the craziest thing I've heard
of," says historian Franklin. "People
ask me , 'What the hell is going on at
the National Archives?' "
According to one participant, the
delegation to the WJ:iite House told
Eizenstat aide Al Stern that Freeman
was bypassing profes&lt;;i onal opinion in
making decisions a~out the Archives.
The group focused its criticism on the
shifting of records a5 proposed by
Freeman, the participc.nt Gaid.
Stern's only react~o~, according to
the source, was to as,&lt;; for II!ore information about the controversy, and it
was subsequently sent to him.

In yet another example of tile anti.·

who resigned as archivist last sum:

"I am convinced that there is a real

possibly the finest national archivei;;
in the world," Rht ads said in a recent.

The first section of the Alexander (Adam Hance) House was built in 1810. As
it stands today, the 12 -room structure is now a two-story clapboard building
with chimneys of brick and native stone. The interior has hardwood floors,
recently refinished, solid panel doors with wrought iron strap hinges, plastered walls, two bathrooms, and the windows have twelve panes. The rafters over
the log section are f astened together with wooden pegs.
Standing back of the main house is the original log kitchen, a la~ge barn ,
smokehouse and three s ma ller buildings. The Alexander family used the house
as an inn for s umm er guests for ma ny years. The front entrance faces the
Wilderness Road, and the s ide road passing the east veranda leads to Claytor
Lake. The porch in the back extends the length of the house. There are three
separate basement sections and a root cellar with fireplace.
THIS HOUSE WILL BE USED FOR A REGIONAL MUSEUM.

==============================================================================
COMMENTS ON THE OCTOBER MEETING

On Saturday , Oct 27, the SVGS went to Lexington, Va, for their monthly meeting.
Those of us who went had a wonderful time and wishing we had more time there·
Everyone was to be there by 10am (three of us were so busy talking we missed
the first exit and arrived a few minutes late) to start a mini walking tour of
Lexington . We _ m~t_ at the Visitors Center and met our guide, Mrs Sandy Patterson from the ·vi.s tars Center. Our first stop was the Rockbridge Historical
Society (long walk, right next door), where we met Dr/Prof. Charles Turner, a
member of the Society and professor at Washington and Lee University.
For me
the most interesting room was upstairs -- the room with the old newspapers,
rare books and genealogies of the area.
Then a walk to the W&amp;L new Library,
The Rar e Book room is opened to the public 9- 5 Mon-Fri.
Prof. Turner left us
and Mrs Pat terson led us to the Gen. George Marshall Library and pointed ou±
the VMI Li b rary (for the genealogical material there).
We visited Lee 's
Chapel -- then Lunch. After lunch we spent about an hour and half at the
Rockbridge Co, Court House - - being small many of the old records not needed
everyday are stor ed i n the basement but is available upon request.
All the
records ups tairs wer e put to use -- some were even copied.
The last stop was
Stonewall Jacks on Cemetery . I'm going back .
A thought, if they would move
the libraries and c ourt h ouse down here for a couple of weeks .
I can dream
can •t r. Tne above a re a few of my thoughts and I left out much that was
pointed out to us -- a s k others and you will get all the details.

PETTIT - THOMAS BIBLE
contributed by
Charles T Burton *
This Bible was first owned by William Abner Pettit, whose last home was the
Evans house (now gone), which stood beside the Evans Spring, now in northwest
Roanoke City. It is a small Bible, with a very limited space for family information. From Pettit it passed into the hands of his daughter , Mrs . G. S.
Thomas; and from her to her daughter-in-law, Mrs C. B. Thomas , and is now held
by Miss Lucinda Thomas of Bedford, Va.
In later years, after the regular space was filled , other family information
was entered in various places, making it difficult to tell relationships.
For this reason, these later entries are not included here , except this one,
"Great Grandpa Wm. Abner Pettit married 3 times. " This is the only place we
see his middle name.

The dates of his last marriages are not given in the Bible. His second was on
24 Feb 1834, recorded in Botetourt County, and his third on 15 Mar 1842 in
Roanoke County, Va.
- notes entered in Bible by Mrs. C. B. Thomas.
- note entered by Charles T Burton.
William Pettit &amp; Mary Yergin were married 6- 12-1823 ( *Aunt Sarah's mother)
2nd wife, Mary Tosh Evans (*Mamma's mother)
Jrd wife, Mrs Catherine Wingart (Aunt Mattie's mother)
she had one son, Peter Michael Wingart, died Oct. 14, 1862, 26 yrs. old.

NOTATION: An asterisk i ndica tes that more details about the individual concerned a r e given in the lis t ing of the following generation. The numeral
system used here a llows an i ndi vi dual's descent from BFTC to be traced by
means of the n umber ass igned to him. Thus Heather Kelly Reyburn (41221), a
fifth generat ion des cendant , i s the daughter of (4122), John Alexander Reyburn,
a four th gen eration des cendant , who in turn is the son of (412), Agnes Fitzhugh ( Sneed ) Reyburn , the daughter of (41), Ellen Catlett (Fitzhugh) Sneed, the
daughter of ( 4 ) Lou i s e Roberta (Conway) Fitzhugh, the fourth child of BFTC.
In case a p e r s on had more c hildren than there are digits, the 10th child is
indica t ed by ' 0 ' , the 11th by 'f_, the 12th by .'i', and so on.

by
Elihu Jasper Sutherland and Betty Swindall Sutherland
_"EJ's life is his greatest eulogy ••••• his work, life and writings
have left a la sting impression • • ••• "
His mother's memory of family lineage and tradition, coupled with
the stimulation of finding out about pioneer days as told by his grandmother, Sylvia (Counts) Sutherland, started Elihu Jasper Sutherland on
the way to becoming an authoritative genealogist and historian. His
first genealogical account was compiled when he was a student in the
Stratton School, Dickenson County. His cousin, Thurman L. Sutherland ,
who was his teacher, inspired him to write this.
From more than fifty years of research and collecting, which included 15 picture albums, 125 scrapbooks and 100 loose leaf notebooks ,
Hletty Swindall Sutherland (Mrs. E. J . ) has compiled and supplemented
this 420-page genealogy. The book is completely indexed , documented
and has about 200 pictures.
It includes the families of Artrip, Carter, Colley, Counts , Deel,
Dyer, Edwards, Fuller, Grizzle, Jessee, Kiser, Long, Mattox , Owens ,
Rasnick, Skeen, Smith, Stinson, Sutherland, Willard , Yates and many
others.

VIRGINIA APPA LACHIAN NOTES

KEITH KINFOLKS
by
Larry King
The author states in his preface that KEITH KINFOLKS has three primary purposes.
First 1 to honor his Keith ancestors by gathering, preserving and perpetuating
in book form the knowledge acquired on James Keith Sr. and his descendants.
Seconds to make the knowledge available to interested. parties now living and
those to come in future generations. Thirds to furnish Keith descendants a
means of tracing and learning their ancestors, knowing their kinfolks and
establishing their relation to each other.
This has been so well done by the author for the descendants of James Keith Sr.
who lived in several areas; including Botetourt, Bedford, and other Virginia
counties before finally settling near present day Willis in Montgomery (now
Floyd) County just before the Revolutionary War. Eleven generations of his
descendants are included with 16,500 names indexed. The infonnation is contained in 271.5 biographies arranged by generations, and~ in as far as possible,
birthdates in the generation.
Many descendants are living in Roanoke and surrounding counties. Calvin Lee
Weddle of Roanoke, and a member of the Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society is a descendant of James Keith Sr. and the author states that he contributed a great deal of information, time and other resources during this research.
There are 182 photographs (showing 685) individuals. These were selected from
1000 photographs that were loaned. Over 4000 family history questionaires were
sent to complete on their families, and about JOOO individual letters were
written seeking help. Mr. King has been a master at arranging all his research
in an easily understood system that is explained at the beginning of the book.
The book has 363 pages, well documented, and Library of Congress cataloging.
A gift copy from the author has been presented to the Southwestern ·virginia
Genealogical Society and has been placed in the Virginia Room of the main Roanoke City Public Library.
Readers are urged by the author to contribute any knowledge that they have or
learn on James Keith Sr. for future publications . A copy of KEITH KINFOLKS may
be ordered for the price of $25. 00 from Larry King, 100 Longview Acres ,
Hendersonville, Tenn. 37075.

CORRECTION
Received the following from WR Chitwood , MD: ... on page 119 of the last issue
(Aug 1979), ·under the heading "Know Your Illness", there are s ev eral things
that I believe should be corrected. Quinsy was not ton s illiti s . This term
was used in earlier days and is still used t oday a nd refers t o a c ondi tion
known as a peritonsillar abcess - that is , an abc ess s i t ua t ed around, under
or near a tonsil. Tonsillitis is an' infection in the t onsil.
There is a
great deal of difference in the two condi tions, for the earl ier days quinsy
could be cured by lancing the abcess, whereas, ther e was n o s pecific treatment
for tonsillitis of any value.
Putrid sore throat could also refer to what we call toda y "strept" or septic
sore throat. Membranous croup was a synonym for diphtheria ........ ···· ····
In early days, diagnosis was very difficult and many things were lumped together and called croup.
(I am very sorry that I have not written and than ked y ou f or the above -- not
exactly sure where I got my information -- several s ources -- one seems to
have bee_n a book written (couniyhistory) a li ttle after 1900.)

Also in February issue page 2, Henderson Bible Hecord :
died June 24th, 1846 NOT 1864.
THE LAST WORD

William Henderson

(next to last word.)

In this issue there are several short items that members have sent that we would
like t o have more of --The one on John Dickson (the researcher who found this
has no connection with the family but thought that it might h e lp someone else),
the Research Notes on Nicholas Co, and the Russell Cop marriages.
This kind of
information is not easy to find and will help someone.

On ordering books, please remember that postage has increased so that the prices
of books from a year ago will be higher,
Also , we have two complete sets of tapes made of our Genealogical workshop
available - with talks on Virginia 3tate Archives &amp; Virginia Land Office (2 hours)
and Migration to the Western Waters - southwes tern Va, Tenn, and Ky (two hours)
Write for cost.
Cutting this s hort so THE LAST WORD can follow.

WILLIAM WEAVER IRONMONGER
by D E Brady
Rt 1 , Box 198 E
Glasgow, Va 24555
In the early 1800 ' s and t hrough the Civil War years Rockbridge County had
t he r eputation of being an agri cultural area, but it also had considerable industrial activity .
The mining , smelt i ng , and forging of iron was one of the big
businesses of that time. Some of t he names in this business were Maybury who had
a furnace at Vesuvius, Virgin ia , J ordan (of Lexington interest), McCormick (the
Cyrus McCormick family), Weaver, Anderson (who ran Glenwood furnace), and Lavis.
~t least one of these, William Weaver, kept good records and appears to have filed
111 t he le tters that he rece ived . He was also involved in court cases which were
duly recorded.
His rec ords now res ide in the libraries of Duke University, University of Virginia, and the Wiscons in Historical Society McConnick collection .
My brother and I have some remnants of his papers and the court records are in
the Roc kbridge and Augusta Court Hous es.
In 18 11 on e Willia m Wils on built Union Forge on Buffalo Creek near its confluence wit h North River, now Mau ry River. Three years later he sold it to a
partners hip cons isting of Thomas Maybury of Botetourt County and William Weaver
of Philade l phia, Pe nnsyl van ia. They changed its name to Buffalo Forge and began
operations with Maybury at the For ge, where he served as ironmaster and bought
slaves fo r t he labor force . Weav er remained in Pennsylvania where he was a member
of the Pennsy l vania legislatu re (1818-1820), had a cotton mill business, and was
settling up hi s father's estate .

Maybury had hi s probl ems, the forge was not making a profit, he could not
acquire s atis f actory s lav e s , a nd had to repeatedly ask Weaver for more money .
In one of Weaver ' s letters to Maybury he requested that he, Maybury, not men tion
slaves in his le t t ers, a ppa rently it would have been embarrassing for the Philadelphia resident to b e known as a slave holder. In 182J, William came to Virginia
and assumed dire cti on of the forge operation. The partnership was dissolved ,
though not to Maybu ry's entire satisfaction, but he remained in the iron busines s
and became the operator of the Catopaxi furnace at Vesuvius, Virginia . Under
Weaver's management Buffa lo Forge was a success and he admitted that it made some
money. He was 42 y ears old when he came to Virginia, and seven years later he
married a Philadelphia widow, Elizabeth Newkirk Woodson. They had no children
but he seemed to have had considerable feeling for his nieces and nephews. In
family corres pondence a nd conversation for three generations he was a ffection ately, or perhaps respectfully, referred to as "Uncle William". How he became
interested in Virginia is not Jmown. Klaus Wust in his little book about the
Dunkard pioneers teels how Alexander Mack help found settlements near Winchester
and in the Claytor Lake area. Alexander Mack was William Weaver's grandfather .
One would like to think that young William was entertained with grandfatherly
tales about Virginia and the mineral wealth in its mountains , thus instilling an
interest that he was able to follow in later life.
As the forge prospered Weaver acquired more iron properties, He obta i n ed the
Aetna and Retreat furnaces, through the Maybury partnership , large acr eage i n the
Buffalo Forge area, and the Bath Iron Works at the upper end of Goshen Pa s s .
In 1819, a stone house was built near the forge by Thomas Baggs.
Weav er
putchases this and us ed it as his residence, He later added to it p more than
doubling its si z e . The fo r ge industry was as near self suffi c i ent a s possible.
To operate the forge large quantities of charcoal were needed , so 9 over the
years he purc has ed mos t of the western slope of the Blue Ridge from Glasgow to

so farm land was acquired to raise feed and l arge stable
were bull t .
The re were
slaves to be fed, so land was devot e d t o the rai sing of food for humans , a sewin g
room was put into use, and numerou s cabins were built for sla ve quarters .
In
addition to the usual farm a n d forg e bu ildi n gs there were two mill s , a harness
shop, blacksmith shop, carpenter shop , ice house , office building , dairy , carriage
house, the company store, an up a nd down saw mill , and th9u and
of acres of land .
The Bath Iron Works had a s i mila r d evelopment except that in add ition i t had
mines and furnaces.
The s tory of Bath I ron Works i
well documented by Dr .
Thompkins and others .
Weaver had hi s ups a nd down s with hi s family .
He was one of ten children
so he had many nieces and nep hews and he brought s e v eral of them to Virg inia .
There is a poignant letter f r om hi s s i s ter- in - law compl a inin g ab out hi
treatment
of her sons. William Wea ver' s bro ther had di ed lea v ing in Wi l l iam ' s care his two
sons and a sum of money for t hei r up keep .
The mother compla i n e d that he had taken
them to Virginia and thi s wou l d n o t hav e been their fa th e r ' s wi s h , they were no t
being educated properly a nd t hey were "b e i n g u sed to drive ne g ro s or a ny other

reached their majority a nd the rema ind e r of the f u nd pl u s int eres t was g ive n to
them. Weaver made a n arrangeme nt with llivi s ( a n ep he w ) a nd Jo r d a n t o run t h e Ba th

family, When his wife died ( 1850) Weaver as k e d a fu vi s , e i t h e r hi s s i s t e r or

The l a ws u i t in whic h Abram Ia.v is
was involved caus ed s o much unpl easantness that the a r r a n gement was un tena ble .
He t hen asked Emma Gorgas Brady ( a riiece) an d f a mily t o c om e .
The y c a me a n d thi s
arrangement worked well becaus e they s tayed on and e v e ntua l ly i n h eri t ed a l a r ge

and ran the store. Charles Gorga, a nephe w ab out t h e s a me age as Will Rex came
to Virginia and was put in charge of the Ae tna furnace.
Cha rl es court e d an d

gave t hem the furnace works there as a wedding pres ent.
Charl es s oon contracte d
pneumonia and died. Will Rex attended the funeral and reported the happenin gs
t o his uncle. The old man listened and then commented, "Anne S i ss on g o t my furnace damn slick , did.n 't she?" Incidentally Weaver apparently never tried to
reclai m· that property. Another newphew John Weaver funnenhour worked for a
while at Bath Iron Works but did not stay in Virginia.
A niece married one of
the J ordans, she died and he married another niece,
c. w. Newkirk who was referred to by Weaver as his nephew also WD'rked at Bath Iron Works , but he was probably
his wife 's nephew or son by her first husband.
In his old age William Weaver
received a letter from Abram Lavis seeking reconciliation on the Ba th Iron Works
affair. The l e tter was quite emotional in content and Weaver must have made a
favorable respons e b ecause an entry in the Buffalo Forge journal on September .5,
18.52 , notes "Tu.vis of Mississ i ppi called on Mr. Weaver today",
Among the deposition s i s one about a slave named Harry Hunt. Because of his
s kil l s Hunt and his fami ly ' had been moved to Bath Iron Works to help Davis and
Jordan. Weaver c onsidered i t a loan and they felt that he was their property,
On Christmas Eve Weaver sent an overs e er wi th hor ses to bring him back to Buffalo Forge . He arrived there after dark and qui etly l oaded Hunt and family and
started ba ck toward Lexington. 'Ihey became lost in a snowsto rm and spent the

retrac e their route , but travelling at night, by horse, in a s:ri-owstorm, from the
upper end of Go hen Pass to Le:x:ington would be a trip to remember. When asked
why he chose s uch ~ time to p i ck up Hunt , the overseer replied that Mr. Weaver
had t old him to .
Weaver had a s trong sense of res pons i bility to his s l a ves. He once considered selling hi iron interests and moving t o Mississ ippi and one of the reasons
fo r no t doing o , wa that he did not wan t his people to be sold. His records
s how very few ale of s l a ves and t hes e few were usua lly the result of extreme
provocation .
In hi will he ment ioned that he did not want his estate broker. up
because of hi s p e opl e . He ta ted , "as I have kept the bulk of my estate par tly
t o provide for the comfort of my s erva nts, I des ire that they shall be treated
with ki ndness a nd human ity ". I n t he 182 0' s he s et up an incentive work sys tem
for hi s slaves , Thi wa not ori gi nal wi t h him. He probably got the idea from
Ox:ford f u rnace , for he had purchased s l aves from tha t bus iness when it ceased
opera ti on and the ys tem had been in use t here . Certain norms were set for t he
various tasks and the s l a ves were pa i d f or t heir a ccomplishments above the norms.
They c ould u s e the mon ey as t hey saw f it, and some purchased vacations , at 50¢
per da y a man wi th $10 . 00 c oul d have a 20 day vacation. One man had a savings
acc ount i n a Lexi ng t on bank . There i s a s tory that he had a bet with another
s l a ve a bout t h e acc oun t a nd ha d his owner withdraw it temporarily so he could
s how the mon ey a nd wi n th e bet .
Whil e ma ny of the s l a v es ha d s pe cial s kills which determined the type of
work tha t t hey d id in r egard to t he f orge they were frequently t wo talent people
performin g other jobs s u c h a s carpentry, farm work, and wood cutting. It seemed
that eve ryon e di d a s t i nt a t wood cutting. There was one man of the John Henry
mold , na me d Ga r l a nd Thomp s on. I t was said that he would loaf aroun~ unti l Fri day
and t hen go ou t a nd c u t hi s week ' s norm of wood by Saturday noon . Once when the
"pa terol l e r s '" broke up a pa r ty in the s lave quarters, people dived out the windows
a nd back doors but Ga rla nd s trode out the front door and none dared to stop him .
Ma ny of the s l a ves rema in ed a t the forge after the civil war as freedman and some
of their d e cend en t s s t ill live a t Buck Hill and Glasgow. This is not to s ay
tha t t here was j u s t on e b i g happy family. There were whippi ngs and slaves di d
run a wa y.
During Hun t e r' s raid s ome of the most trusted s laves left , and mos t
of the others we r e t a k en to the remote "Mountain Farm" until the raiders were
gone . Weav e r' s wife , Eliza , was very strict and was feared by the slaves . Two
gen er a tion s l a t e r a vi s iting black asked if old "Miss" still walked in the bi g
hous e . I t wa s cus toma ry for owners of slaves to rent them out to people who had
ne ed of l a bore r s . I t was also customary for a slave who did not want to go to
a c erta in place to s a y s o to his owner and he usually would not be sent to that
plac e , and the r e were thos e who did not want to work for William Weaver.
The forge work was hard and had an element of danger . Ther e were fou r
fire s and two hamme r s . The hammers consisted of iron heads , weighing 2 to 5
hundred pounds , mounted on wooden beams. The hammers wer e l ifted and dr opped by
the wa ter wheel s.
The iron heads struck on large anvils s et in the fl oor . Men
would heat the pigs of iron with charcoal and then bring the 100 pound pigs
glowing hot to the a nvil to be pounded by the hammers . The pr oces s produced
from the brittle cas t iron a form of iron called wr ought i r on which wa s s trongp
tough, and almos t rust proof, Some of this iron was used locally but mos t was
s hipped downriv e r to ma r kets in Lynchburg and Richmond . Unt i l t he canal was
built there was a l andin g a t the mouth of Buffalo Cr eek where boats were loaded
and tied up unti l North River beca me full enough to f loat t hem downstream . This
landing a l s o s e rved a s a s hipping point fo r people as f ar away as Lexington.
The "boatyard road" went out Houston St r eet and t wisted across the hills to the
mouth of Buffa lo Cr eek . The canal later f urnished much mor e dependabl e trans portation . It was not possibl e to main tai n continous operation at the forgep

HUNTER FAMILY
From "Virginia Gazette~' Apr 1J, 1786.
By a gentleman from Henry county' we are informed of a very melancholy
accident which happened there some time since, viz.
Mr William Hunt e r,
i n goi ng out one morning, to hunt took a favorite son with him ,was about
1.Q. (or 10) , they had not proceeded far before they spied some turkeys on
the s i de of a ridge; the father told his son to s tay where he was and
hide, t ill he went on the top of the ridge to intersept the turkeys if
they proceeded that way, but the lad, not obeying his father crept after
him some cons i derable distance, and got into the top of a tree which was
full of lea ves . The old man on his retu:rn, seeing something among the
leaves of the t r ee which he took to be a turkey, fired, and observing i t
to fall went t o p i ck it up, but to his great astonishment and grief found
it to be his son.

AN ANCESTOR PROBLEM
John Billington - My Pilgrim Ancestor
by Robert A Goodpasture
Star Route Ge
Georgetown, CA 95634

*

John Billington, who, with wife Eleanor and two sons , came on the Mayflower in 1620
In 1630 John Billington was hanged at New Plymouth f or kill ing one John Newcommon
with his blunderbuss. This presented an ancestor problem.
Why would one of !!!.Y
ancestors do a thing like that? 'Ihis required a 'Study".
Background
The Goodpastures were a Southern Family from Virginia .
My early branch lines were
the Hamiltons, Willards, and Ellysons; all good Southern Families.
My mother was a Tribble, a worthy Southern Family allied to the Burris,

Tandy,
Martin, Bragg, Lamar, Osborn, and Stout families 1 all good Southern Families.
But my grandfather did itl He married one of them 'Yankees'.
Of course this gave
me a Yankee line to research. My brother said "Forget i t l ", "Bury i t l ", "No
good will come from itl".
Went to work anyway; wanted the facts - like for Watergate.
First my Bid.lake line,
then the Abbe, Spalding, Cutler, Snow, Squire and Chapman lines - all real good.
My Derthick line proved quite good also - only a preacher tha. t was k:1cked out of
his church in Colchester and went West.
Dodge - not bad either - only a Trtstram
Dodge caught stealin' sheep on Block Island.
My Bliss, Welch and Sabin lines also
proved to be very good. But then I came to the Billingtons and to John Billington of the Mayflower - the first New England murderer.
The 'black-sheep' of the
Mayflower - now mine.
Analysis
This murder by John Billington worried. me a great deal until I researched the
history of the Pilgrims and learned how they got to New England.
'Ihe solution
then became quite simple.
Solution
Now - when the Mayflower sailed for the New World 1 t was supposed to go to Virginia.
John Billington expected to land in Virginia.
Instead they dumped him up there
in New England among all them 'lam Yankees' •
He got ma.de about i t and final1Y
shot one of 'em.
John Billington started the Civi1 War - NOT John Brownl
{note s

It is the War Between the States and not the Civil

VIRGINIA HISTORY published by the Division of History of the. Deputment of Conservation and Development, 1949) However for those searching public records, and/
or other, for the early settl ers of Giles County the records of the present day
counties of Botetourt, Bed£ord and Franklin, Virginia, and Greenbrier, West Virginia ,
contain informati on of s ome families that later migrated to Giles County or sired
some that came to Giles County, remembering that Giles County was in the very
early days a part of Botetourt County as was Greenbrier County.
Botetourt County was formed in 1770 from Augusta County. It's southern boundary
followed the then colony (now state) lines of North Carolina and wha.t later became Tennessee from the Blue H.idge Mountains to the Mississippi River, and
the northe:rn boundary extended from the Blue Ridge Mountains at approximately the
present town of Buchanan or at the J a mes River and apparently following th~ course
of the James and Jackson rivers a ways then on a direct course in a northwestwardly direction across present day West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin
to the Mississippi River. The public records of Botetourt County from it's beginning are in good condition in the County Clerk's Office in spite of the fire that
destroyed most of the Courthouse building a few years ago.
From Botetourt County came the short lived Fincastle County, which was formed in
1772 and dissolved in 1776. The county seat was in present day Wythe County at
a community known as The Lead Mines located a short distance s outh of Fort Chiswell
on U.S. Highway Route 52. The records of old Fincastle County are stored i n the
Montgomery County Courthouse in Christiansburg but it is said that they are in
such bad shape, mostly illegible, that searching them results in little if anything.
Bedford County was formed in 1753 from Lunenburg County. Some Giles County early
settlers are known to have resided in Bedford County but most of them settled in
that part that became Franklin County.
Greenbrier County, West Virginia, was formed in 1776 from Augusta County , Virginia,
and it's records are intact in the County Clerk's Office in Lewisburg. As that
area of Giles County on the northwesterly side of New River downstream from The
Narrows, or Falls, where the river cuts through the Peters and East River mountains,
was in Greenbrier County until Monroe County was formed from Greenbrier County in
1799. Thus the records of the early settlers of that area of presen t Giles Coun ty
are in Greenbrier and Monroe counties, West Virginia.
The first white settlers in Giles County were the Porter family. 'The only known
record of this family being a grave marker found at present day Glen Lyn for a
Mary Porter which read "killed by Indians, Nov. 28, 1742". 'This grave marker was
found by the John Toney family that settled at this site in 1780. It is believed
that the next white settlement was at Gunpowder Springs, no'w Eggleston, by Adam
Harmon early in 1749, and that he was followed by Philip Lybr ow ho settled at
nearby Gunpowder Springs in 1750.

BOTETOURT COUNTY, VIRGINIA, EARLY SETTLERS
by
Charles T. Burton
This book i s an a t temp t to unify information from several sources, on the early
settlements of the area t hat was Botetourt County, Virginia. In 1782, the
county was much s ma ll than a t its formation, just 12 years earlier. In 1782 it
encompass ed a r eas now in the Virginia Counties of Alleghaney, Bath, Craig,
Floyd, Giles , Mont g ome ry, a nd Roanoke; in West Virginia, Monroe. Names of the
settlers in thi s a r ea a r e from records of 1740 through 1795.
The land records ha v e been res earched and abstracted. These records include
deeds of Augu s t a a nd Botetourt Counties, Surveyors Records, Wills, I.and Tax
Records, e tc.
Ma ny of th e records came from Kegley' s memorable"Virginia Frontier"

The s ettler' s na mes a re listed in alphabetical order, following each name are
the date of hi s death, hi s wife's first name if it is known, and his place of
residence, if outs ide the area.
Below each s ettler's name is this information: the source of the information;
the date; the number of acres; its location; also how it came into his possession ,
or to whom it was conveyed.
The alphabetical list consists of more than 1500
names from Abbot to Zimmerman.
This book is a valuable resource for all libraries and researchers. A gift

THE LAST WORD

I want to express my appreciation for all the help that I had on the workshop
and to s ay thanks to all those who attended.
I hope that they learned_ as ~uch
as I did and enjoyed the fellowship as much as I did.
There was one big. disappointment. Jimmi e Kay Maples of Florida didn't make it!
And I was going to
get up and introduce our member from Fla. who came up just for the w?rksh?P· He
wrote and said that he got as far as Hickory, NC, but his single-engine Piper
pl ane couldn ' t get around the thunderstorms and he had to turn around and go back
to Fla . Maybe next year. We do have tapes avail bl f
the Workshop at $7 • 00
or on a rental basis, ~7. 00 deposit and $6. 00 bac~ ~ r~~~rn of the tapes· Remember we are not professionals. Write for full details __ not completely worked out.

Can our

too worn to read or to foster the shelving of records tha. t are gathering

�NOTES
PREISCH - PRICE
AN OPEr LETTER
TO:

I1 ember s of t he R-&amp;i!:.SS FAMILY ASSOCIATION and all the desc-

endant s of the foll owing individuals who emigr~ted to
America from Germany, a rriving at Philadelphia on the ship
Winter Galley 5 September 1738: Johan Michael PREISCH;
Augus tine PREI SCH; Daniel PilEISCH; Heinrich PHEISCH; and
Anna Ma r gare tha (PREI SCH) H.-ifil£SS. ill of t he above nam~
individua ls l a ter left Pennsylvania and settled in the
Shenandoah Valley and t he New River Valley of Virginia.
FROM:

Mrs. Lynn E. (Christine L.) Neuenschwander, 4727 South
1300 East, Salt Lake City, Utah 84117 Telephone: 001272-7053, a dir e ct descendant of Johan Michael PREISCH
(PRICE) and his wife, Margaretha (KILLIAN) PREISCH, through
their daughter Agnes, who married Thomas HALE in 1700,
in Montgomery County, Virginia. (Comments welcomed by
researcher - please include stamped self-addressed
envelope for reply.) Researcher is a professional genealogist with a certificate from Brigham Young University as
a Specialist in American Research - has some language
background, i. e. one year of college German, and two
years of high school Latin.

SUBJECT:

Native home of the PREISCH family in Germany verified, and
line extended to 1644; maiden name of the mother
of the above immigrants found (HOF.FHANN), and line extened to 1660.
ancestr~l

It is with joy cmd satisfaction that I wish to share with other descendants the results of recent research which yielded the attached information on the ancestry in Germany of the PREISCH (PRICE) families of the
Shenandoah Valley and the New River Valley of Virginia. More than fifteen years ago, I w&lt;as successful in extending my own ancestry to Johan
Michael PREISCH of Montgomery County, Virginia through a daughter, .Agnes.
who married Thomas Hale in 1700. It was possible to extend the line to
this point without too much difficulty from .American sources, but, like
so many others who have made an effort, I found difficulty in trying to
extend the line overseas. In 1967, I did ask a German Professional
Researcher to make an effort to find the PREISCH native home in Gem.any
from the clues in Dr. Pritchard's book on the F..arless Family. However
from .American sources it was believed the given name of the father of
the above named individuals was Johan Hendrick or Johan Heinrich or
Adam Henrich. When the German researcher advised me there was a David
PREISCH in Offenbach during the period of time in question nnd that he
was a Catholic rather than a Lutheran, I did not pursue the matter
.further. Also, I felt I could not afford the expense involved..
Needless to say, I should have pursued the matter at that time!

){IRGINlA APPALACH IAN NOTES

When the Harless Family Association s e nt me a copy of the Jan- June 1977 issue
of their bulletin containing informa t i on o n the Harle s no.. ti ve home in Germany •
I decided to use my limited knowled ge of German to re ear h Gennan film
on
file at the Genealogical S ocie t y of Utah i n Salt Lake City .
r;eci g the conne c ~
tion of Ferdinand Harles s to the Ca t holic Faith , I decided to 0eo..rch in Catholic
records of Offenbach for the PREIS CH li ne .
we had infonna ti on that Anna
Margaretha Preisch married Phillip Harl ess a t Offenbach , and I had s upposed
that because Anna Margaretha Prei s ch had ma rri e d in the Lu th ran faith that t he
entire family was Lutheran.
Of cours e , I felt even more disgu~~ t ed with myself'
when I realized the information f or f urther r esearch at Offenbach was included
in Dr. Pritchard's book, and that tho se re c ords on f i lm ha.ve been available
here in Salt Lake City since 1961.
As you study the attached copi es :r rom the Bap ti s mal Regis t er and the Famil~
Register you will note that a date of Dea t h i s s ho wn fo r Jo han Michael ::reisc h .
0:1ly a portion of the date is availabl e o n the Bapti sma l en t ry , al on g wit h the
sign of death, but the full dat e is entere d i n t h e Family Regi ster .
I have
discussed this death entry with other p rof ess i o n a l researchers , a n d have ?oncluded that a mistake was made by the per s on e ntering the dat e in t ~e re gi~ t er
--- we know that the first Ianiel Preis ch di ed e l se t h e seco n d r:an i el wou..J_d
not have been given that name.
The procedure ; f n a min g a s ec o nd child th ~
~ame as one who was deceased was common during thi s p eriod o f t ime , e~pe c iallY
in German records. We have Johan Michael' s a g e as 19 o n the s hip regi~ter ,
and the 9 October 1718 date agrees with t h i s age .
The d a t e i n the Fam i ly
Register would have been entered much later -- possibly ma ny many years l a ter
-- a nd would have been copied from the Baptismal record, no d oub t ·
We'
t her ef ore , know that Johan Michael did not die as a child, b u t tha t the first
lhni el did die -- I have shown the date of death of 14 F ebrua ry 17 22 a s
applying to the first Ianiel rather than to Michael .

You Will also note that the word "infant" and the sign of death is shown in
the en try of the Baptismal Register for Augustine.
To further confuse_ matters,
Augus t ine ' s age on the ship register is shown as "14"
The FamilY Register
do~s not show a date of death for Augustine, nor does· i t show tha~ a:ioth,er
Child was given the same name.
The heading of the ship regist,er indicates
"males 16 years of age and upwards" yet Augustine is shown as age 14.
I
believe a mistake has been made in transcribing the ship •s register.
We know
from Ametj_can r ecords that Augustine was born in 1722.
Chalkley'~ Records of
Augus ta Coun ty , Virginia, Vol. 2, page 36, states:
"Augustine price ~tates
in Octob er 1802 that he is 80 years of age; that he was driven from his home
on New River by Indians in the year of Braddock's defeat. "
Re ePrding t h e mother of the Preis ch children who ernigra ted in 1 738 • i t is not
known at this t ime whether she emigrated or not.
We know that her husband,
Iavid Prei s c h d ied 11 July 1735 at Offenbach, and her own father was also
deceased. The Family r egister does not show a date of death at Offenbach
for Agnes Pre i s ch , but the death records, which start in 1747 have not• at
this time , b een r esear ched.
It is inconceivable to me that the mother "Would
have s tayed in Germany while all of her children emigrated -- all except
Anna Margar etha, who was n ow married , were very young -- Michael was 19;
Augustine wa s 16 ; Il:tni e l was 14 ; a n d Heinrich was only 12.
rt i s unfortunate
that the ship r egiste r d i d n ot s how female pas sengers.
Perhaps furthe r
r e s earch will eventu all y clear up thi s problem for us.

J erg Hoffma~n was on boa rd , age 37 , This may very well be the Johan Georg
bo~ 25 Apnl 17 00 , ma r ri ed Eva Barba ra Starct 7 May 1725, had several children,
bu n on e hown as born a fte r 1738 . Other Hoffmanns on board same ship not
identi fi e d . Agnes ' brot her , Jo han Ja cob, emigrated to Hungary.
During the pas t se veral years , I have done considerable research on all of the
Prei s ch f a mily who emi grated in 1738 -- so much so that I felt I knew them
well which was c e rta i nl y beneficial when trying to locate these people in the
Germa n r ec ords · Muc h res earch was done in an effort to prove or disprove the
informa tion which a c oupl e publica tions show that Johan Michael Price mar11ed
a Margare t ha Harl ess , a s i s t er to Johan Philip Harless. In all my years of
searching , I hav e not found on e s ingle vital record to support this assumption.
Now we have informat ion from the Harless research in Germany which shows there
was a Maria Ma r gre t a Herlass from Muhlhofen~ no doubt a sister to Johan Philip
Herlass, but furth e r res earch indicated that this Margreta married Johannes
Ruppel, 19 Augus t 1738 , and proba bly remained in Germany. I believe this
mistake can now be put to res t.
I submit for your comments my conclusion that Margaret Price, the wife of
Johan Michael Preisch (Price) of Montgomery County, Virginia, was Margaretha
Killian, born 1721, in the Rheinish Pfalz, Germany, daughter of Andreas Killian
(wife's name unknown) who emigrated via Philadelphia 23 September 1732. We
kn.OW that he and his family remained for sometimP in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, but by 1747 he had moved South through the Shenandoah Valley into
North Carolina. We also know that Johan Philip Harless and his wife, Anna
Margaretha (Preisch) Harless settled at least for a short time in Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania, because we have found the Christening date of their
first child, Martin, in Lutheran Church records of the City of Lancaster ,
Pennsylvania.
I have tried to locate a marriage of Michael Preisch to Margaretha Killian
in Pennsylvania records but the search is not complete. Perhaps it is recorded
under a "B" rather than a "P", as is noted in the Family Register of Offenbach.
Hopefully further proaf will eventually be found, but I am attaching for your
information a copy of the will of Andreas Killian who indicates his daughter ,
Margaretha, married a Michael Price, and both the family histories available
on the Killian Family indicate nothing further was known of the whereabouts
of Margaret Killian.
I did some research in North Carolina records years
ago, but found nothing there on Margaret who married Michael Price. I have
been in touch with George W. Killian who authored the book ANDREAS KILLIAN
1702-1788 HIS ANCESTORS AND DESCENDAN'IS published in 1969 . He replied to me
"What a very s pecial thrill to hear from you and learn something of our
Margaret who married Mi chae ~ Price. One of the reas ons I did the work on
the book wa s in the hopes that jus t s ome thing like that would happen . " Whil e
the Killian book does give possibility of German an ces try of the Killian
fami ly, it does not document actuar proof. There are Killians in the same
a rea as the Preisch ancestry -- in Landau Lutheran Church Tecords as early
as 1615, and there is a Lutheran Church pastor by the name of Johan Conrad
Kilian in the early 1700's (I believe the parish was Billigheim but I n eed
to recheck to make sure on this . ) Per haps furthe r r esear c h in r ecords of

VIRGINI A APPALACHIAN NOTES

this area in Gernany will give us do cumenta tion of the marriage of Andreas
Killian and his first wife, as well as the birth or christening date for the
children who were born to them whil e still in Germany .
Ianiel Preisch's will was proba t ed i n Orange County, Virgin ia,
hortly a.ftE:J..
His wife was Anna
Catharina , and I hesitate to s u ggest tha t s he may have been the Anna Catharina
Herlas , sis ter of Philipp Herlas, of Muhl hofen , without further proof.
Please
do n ot a c cept t his as f a ct that she was Anna Catharina Herlas , but ome years
a go I found a notation tha t there is a Preisch- Harless genealogy ( Descendants
of Tu.niel Preisch) on file a t the S t. Loui s Public Library -- perhaps so meone
in tha t vicinity could check for suc h a genealogy and hel p clarify this problem .

The thea ters

Cletus ' theory here i s mo s t interest ing. · It might account for no list showing
the · arrival of And reas ' wife and daughter Elizabeth.
That is, they might have
come lat e r and been "a tta ched" as wife a nd daughter to some friend who was
making the trip.)
Doubtless many of the young people among the early immigrants practic ed a like dodge to avoid certain otherwise very unpleasant
experiences at the port of en try.
Several of the learned articles in the
proceedings of the Pennsylvania German Society suggest that such "dodges" were
fairly common to e s cape the cruel indenture system then in vogue.
I cannot
find a ny indentured Killian, nor were any of them redemptioners.
Thi s clearly
indicates that
a ll of them were, compa ratively, wealthy. Many of them
seem to ha ve been fairly expert in avoiding taxes, yet when they were assessed
the ir taxe s , as a rule, were considerably above the average of the local
inha bi tan t s .

2. On page 5 (para J4) you mention the "Sa lem Church", I strongly suspect
that thi s c hurch was formerly known as the "Old Dutch Meeting House " which was
located about e l even miles east of Lincolnton on the old highway .
The deed
to thi s property i s said to have been given by Adam Cloninger to the "German
Congregation of Killian's Se ttl e me nt." It is my impression that I have seen
a hi s tori cal en try in so me Colonial Record that this church was organized at
about the time that the Kil li a ns moved into North Carolina; howe ver, I made
no note of it.
Thi s i s ola t e d fact may enable you to more accurately locate
the firs t Kil lians in North Carolina.
One might suspect from this that the
Andrew (Andre as . . . . . . . . . . ) Killian f ami ly was quite religious , or a ny ra t e
very s tri ct c hurch attend ant s .
The reverse , however, would seem to be the
case . I hav e found no record of e ither baptis ms or confirmations of a ny of
Andreas Killi a n ' s exten s ive fami l y in any church in Pennsylvania. Unfortuna tely there are s till a nu mber of the r ecords of the earl y churches to be
publis hed.

J, On page 3 (para 11) there i s !3. mere mention of · a r ga r et !--:illi a a d her
marriage to Michael Price, ev en the date of the marri age i
.ot g i e n .
It
seems very likely that Andreas Killian did not get to ;0 rt . Ca r ol ina until some
time in the forties.
Thi s would make Margaret more th.an 2 0 y ea r
o a ge .
Is
it not likely that Andreas l ived for a time in the
hena ndoa h a ll cy?
any of
the Penns ylvania emigrants from Pennsylvania to orth c a olina did that .
A
similar situation existed when the Killian s migrated beyond the Alleghenies ·
Many of them stopped for a time in Tennessee , Kentucky , o io , and Illi ois ?efore making permanent homes i n Arkansas , Missouri , Iowa , etc .
If Andreas lived
for a time in Virginia, or Maryl and , then i s i t not likely that argaret met
her husband there and stay ed while the f amily , as a whole , mo v ed onward ?

========================================================--BOHON
I am writing in regards to MARRIAGE BONIB &amp; MINISTER RETURNS OF ROANOKE CO,
VA. 1838-1852 copied by Marvin U Neighbors.
The record of BOHON• James &amp;
Sarah Frances Owens md 30 June 1853 by Wm L Hatcher has a note at the bott~rn
of this page (J6) that gives the name as John c Bohon.
This John. C Bohon is
not correct.
This is my ancestor and I have several records, besides my
grandmother also told me, that his name was James Clark Bohon.
I might also
mention that thi s s urname is found in the Roanoke and Botetourt County records
spelled Bowhan, Baughhan, Baughan, Broughhon, Baughan, Beaughhon~ Bohorne,
_
Bohan, Burhon.
Thi s is a good example of the variation of spelling of a s u r
name in the early records.
In 1655 (1658 ?) a patent for 250 acres was given to James Boughan for the
transportation of five pers ons. He had four sons: James, John, Henry an~
Alexander.
This land was in Rappahannock County, Va.
Further re s earch i s
needed to prove that he was the ancestor of the Bohon familY of Botetourt and
Roanoke Counties, Va.= Barbara Thom, 160? Orchard Hts. Rd NW, Salem, OR 97304

THE LAST WORD
Another hectic month! My apologies to the quarterlies that are not include d
in the list this month,
They came in this month and I have not had time to
review them.
You do first things first and my first was typing the drafts
for my s on' s pathology Master's paper -- plus this issue.
We have had to revise our policy on exchange quarterlies.
We have a committee
of 8 (so no one person has the responsibility of saying no)
As much as SWGS
would like to exchange with everyone but our budget is limited so we have to
s a y no to some. We are having to exclude newsletters and limit the number of
e x chan ges from one state. Now, if we had an "angel", we could exchange with
every reques t we receive. Please bear with us and try to understand our
p osition. We will place in ?ur files all requests, and in the suture should
we b ecome able to exchange with these on file, we will notify them for a trial
exchange . We hated to do the above but our funds are limited.
Would appreciate having any records that you might have on hand.

PLEASE.

Pl eas e remember that any information that you see here should be checked
a gai nst t he origina l.
The typist makes mistakes and reading the old documen t s
i s n o t easy.
The people who contribute the material are doing their best -s o don• t get mad at t hem if they cannot read the handwriting and have to gu e ss
at wha t i s there.
I have s aid enough - - -- - - good hunting !

This family portrait was taken in 1902 on the day Margaret Bush, dressed
in white, married her cousin, Albert Bush of the Kentucky branch of the family,
Her parents and eldest brother George Gose Bush are seated in the picture.
James Bush, no middle name, the father, was born in 1850, the seventh son
of Valentine Bush who lived to the age of 104 years. He was born ca 1799, the
son of Austin Bush and his wife 3aid to be of Indian blood. The wife of Valentine Bush and the mother of James was Nancy Gose, the daughter of Christopher
Gose and Mary Elizabeth Litz, and the granddaughter of Stephen Gose and Elizabeth Spracher, pioneers of Southwest Virginia and Russell County. Valentine
and Nancy Gose Bush are buried in the church cemetery of the Baptist Church in
Nichelsville, Virginia.
Mary Ann Ellen Bond, wife of James Bush, was the daughter of George Bond

infancy,
Present for the wedding of their sister were t hree brothers , George Gose
Bush and his wife, Martha Culbertson Bush, Charles E. Bush and James Hopkins
Bush, It was quite an elegant affair for the back woods , judging from the
family dressed in their best finery. Even James Bush , a mountain man and unaccustomed to frills and furbelows, put on the new ruffled front shirt his wife
had made for him, a coat and his best leather boots. While Mary , his wife , was

TOWNS AND PLACES
FURNACES OF BOTETOURT COUNTY

by Jim Avery

Between 1768 .and 1882 there were some twenty furnaces .p roducing iron in Botetourt County. The first furnace was Harvey's
Catawba Furnace located on Lee's Branch of Catawba Creek. It
was built between 1768 and 1770 by Isaac Zane. In 1821 it was
owned by Robert Harvey and is sometimes refered to incorrectly
as Martha Furnace.
Downstll:B.ll1 from Harvey's was the Brunswick Forge and Splitting Mill. It is near the mouth of Lee's Branch where it flows
into the Catawba. This forge is shown on Woods Map of 1821 as
Taylor's Iron Works. At one time it was also known as Catawba
Forge.
Also in the area was the Catawba Furnace. It was located
upstream from nrunswick Forge on Catawba Creek. It is incorrectly shown on Wood Map as being near Lee's Branch. It was
actually upstream from Stone Coal Creek. It was built in 1830
and may have been owned by Robert Harvey. The property was sold
to Joseph R. Anderson in 1847. ·
A fourth furnace was located on the Catawba. This was the
Salisbury Furnace located where the Catawba empties into the
James River. The pits used in making charcoal for the furnace
was located across the James from the furnace.
Another early furnace was owned by Mathew Harvey. It was
located on his Mountjoy estate near Buchanan. It is shown on
Wood's Map on the south side of Looney's Mill Creek.
About 1830 a furnace was built at Roaring Run by a man n
named Robertson. The tub bellows were built by a millwright
named Flaherty. The furnace was owned and operated by the Anderson family. It was abandoned in 1854 and rebuilt in 1863.
The furnace could ·produce ten tons of high quality iron per day.
The area is preserv~d as a picnic area near Eagle Rock.
Near Roaring Run was another Anderson furnace, Grace Furnace. There was · an-old charcoal furnace there before the iron
furnace. It was in operation in the 1850's and during the Civil
War.
Two other 'O'ld furnaces .were located on Purgato:ry Creek .north
west of Buchanan·. They wer·e known as Mayberry A and B. The lower
furnace, Mayberry· A, was located near the Cartmill's homestead
and is shown on Wood's Map. The stack to the furnace is still .
standing, but th~ remainder of the furnace has been torn down
to build walls in the fields across the road. The other furnace was
was further upst_ream. I could ·not get my Cutlass that far up the
road to see if it was still standing.
Probably the best known furnace in Botetourt County was
at C~overdale. This furnace was built about 1?87 by Robert Harvey. rt was also known as Martha after Harvey's wife Martha, the
daught~r of Benjamin Borden. The furnace was on a mill race which

�YIRGINIA APPAL AC HIAN NOTES

was used to power the bellows. The same race was used to power
the Cloverdale Flour Mill. The furnace was located upstream
from the flour mill where the old road leading we st crossed
Tinker Creek. The 1821 map identifies it as Tayloe's Furna~e.
It was operated by John Tayloe III from 1810 to his death in
1824. There may have been as many as three furnaces located
on or near the same site. A furnace known as Cloverdale 1 was
built about 1830 and abandoned in 1843. Cloverdale 2 was built
in 1841 and rebuilt in 1850. Both these furnaces were in production during the Civil War. One of the furnaces was burned
by General Hunter in June 1864, but was rebuilt in six mont:h~ ..
The only fu:nace ii; Botetourt County built durin g the Civil
War was at Arcadia. It is on Jennings Creek about three and one
half miles northeast of Buchanan in the Jefferson National Forest. It was built in 1862 and abandoned in 1882. The furnace
is still standing. The present owner has a CB antenna mounted
on ~op of it.
.
During the Civil War most of the furnaces in production
were owned or controlled by Jcbn and /or Joseph Anderson.These
included Roaring Run, Catawba, Cloverdale 1 and 2, and G~ace:
Joseph Anderson was an agent for the Tredgar Iron works in Richmond who purchased Catawba, Cloverdale and Grace from the Andersons in 1862. Apparently the only furn~ce in operation after
the Civil War was Arcadia.
·
There were other furnaces in Botetourt of which little record remains. These include: Aetna 1 and 2 Rebecca (in op(eration in the 1850's), Retreat, Callie Pri:i.cess · and Jane also
operating during the 1850's).

SOME FREEDMEN I NDENTITIES
PART II -- Slaveowners and Thei r Former Slaves
by Ric hard H Dickenson , 128 Central Ave , Staten I s l and, NY 10301
All r eferences in this section to Mon t gomery Co. a re to Montgomery Co,
Va ,, whose county s eat i s Christi ansbur g , c ontaining the Courthouse, constructed in 1908 . The County Cl erk ' s off i ce c ontai ns , among numerous other
r ecords , the marri age records of t he county f rom 178? to the present. In
the flap pocket of Book one of the Marriage Regi ster this writer found four
folded papers with the following heading : "Regi ster of Colored Persons of
Montg omery County , State of Vi rgi ni a , cohabitati ng together as husband and
wife on 27th February 1 866 . " Subheadings were : Name of Husband; Age; Place
)f Bi rt h ; Res id ence ; Occupation ; Las t Owner; Las t Owners Res idence; Name of
Wif e ; Age ; Place of Bi rt h ; Res idenc e ; Las t Own er; Las t Owners Residence;
Name of Chi ldren , wi th age of each ; rate of Commencement of Cohabitation,
Some JJ 6 fami li es , wi t h a minimum of 2 t o a maximum of 14 to a family were
l i s t ed . Thi s regis t er was c ompiled by Cap tain Charles S , Schaeffer, Freedmen ' s Bu reau Agent who was t he f ounder of t he Christi ansburg ins titute and
t he churc h whi ch now bears his name -- Schaeffer Memorial Baptist Church
in Chri s tiansburg .
Where the 1866 Cohabitation Regi s t er lis ting coinc ides with 1865 "Census
of t he Col ored Populati on of Montgomery Co,, Va." it has been incorporated
und er the na me of the i ndi vidua l. Although not all of the 865 names are
thus ma t c hed , it d oes n ot d imini s h the importance of the Register of Colored
Pers ons c ohabi t a ti ons . Prior to February 29 , 1866 there were only seven
(7) Bl a c k marriag es regi s tered i n the County Clerk's office - the first of
which oc cured on 28 t h of October, 1865-~but, these do not show former slaveowhers and chil dren , i f any. Therefo r e, this is a find of considerable
cons equence to Bl a c k geneology in this area.

************************************************
THE LAST WORD
At times I thought that this would be my last word -- the butterflies that
I have ir.. my stomach. Maybe next time it won't be so bad.
Of all the
quarter:J,_ies that I have read -- I have never paid any attention to the makeup __ only looking for information on MY families and fussing because what
I wanted wasn't there. I thought "Why don't the publish these records."
Now I am beginning to know -- There must be something for everyone and
. different types of records.
There are research notes scattered thro' this issue of VAN -- this is date
that has been given to us that may help some me bers.
Wish me luck -- I need it.
ps: The most important thing and I almost forgot.
A first for us!
We have
printed our first picture! This we will do -- if, the person wanting the
picture printed pays the cost of the half-tone negative.

with my first thought. I want to thank ev-eryone for all t he help ~ ru: t
they have given to me during my term as president .
I fee l sad - giv ~ng
up "my baby" and glad for no one should hold off ic e to o l ong.
That 1,~,
when a person begins to feel that their way i s t he on l y 'right' way· ·
t
Every society needs new ideas and people. Th e p e op l e who can add t he mos
say that I can 't do it. You never Imow until you try. We '11 ha':'e n~~
officers the first of the year and I am sure that t hey wi l l r e ce i ve
~
same support that I have over the last coupl e of years . Make them f ee

SOME FREEDMEN IDENTITIES
by

Richard
!.D!J:J2d uction

w.

Dic~enson

There has been almost: a aea:fening silence about
the REconstruction period in Montgomery County, Va .
This is understandable for the same kind of "stil.l ness "
pervaded much of the rest of Virginia, as well as 0th.er
pa:rts of the "Old confederacy." After the wrenching
ana traumatic c .i vil war experience of the "Lost Ca u se "
ana the aftermath of military rule, the reaction to
Reconstruction was to dismiss i ·t from memory.
The one
significant exception to this in Montgomery county has
been the book by Lula Porterfield Givens, "Highlights
in the Early History of Montgomery County, Va." (R.D.
Smith &amp; Bros, Pulaski, va. 1975).
He·r material was
dErived, in part, from the MA Thesis by Ann Swain ,
"C1'rist.iansburg Institute:
From Freedmen's Bureau
En te :r prise to Pub lie High School", Radford College :
May 16, 1975.
Mrs. swain is currently the Preside nt of
the New River Historical Society.
Discussions with Ann Swain broadened and dee pened
concurrent research on Freedmen's Bureau records then
unaerwa y.
Montgomery county was determined tc be one
of only a few counties to hav€ had t~o Freedmen ' s
Bureau censuses ta ken. one vas taken in August 1865 by
Major B.c. carter, and contains 1530 names.
The secon d
onE was tak~n in April 1867 and contains 2460 names of
FrEedmen and their families - including those who we re
freeborn before the civil var.
These numbers , 1530
(1E65) and 2460 (1867) may be compared with the sla ve
poi;:ulation of 2,219 (with 147 Free Blacks) in 18 60 and
the 2882 "Fr4"'e colored" in 1870, of Montgomery Co unty.
This article uses the 1865 c~nsus as the focus for
ccmparison with .the 1867 ·census.
This is done because
the 1865 one lists the former owners and the 1867 one
does not, ( i t rather lists the employer or pla ntation
ow11ei:s where the freedmen lived).
The former cwner is
of greater geneological value because of wills, deeds
and ether public and private records that may be
further traced once the fcrmer slaveholder bas been
idEntified.
The two censuses have been ·compared a nd in
a number of cases a surIJalll€ has been identified where
none existed· in the 1865 CEnsus.
Research is continuing and will be expanded in
Mcntgcmery county and other counties of Appalachia , as
t i ue and money will allow.

from Logan . The home is a two-story log house, knowi'i as the Col. Floyd's

fireplace . The family : the father, Allen Butcher Straton; the mother,
s. Jane Deskins Straton; the two children are Carrie about 6 years old,
and Joe , about 4 years old . The time was about Nove~ber with Christmas
not too far away . Toys , as we know them, were unheard of in that area,
a nd hard candy j ust as rare . The presents were hand made and usually
clothing.

The next morning we ran down the stairs to see what Santa Claus had

I heard ~oe, ~rying , ask . "Did Santa Claus bring you just what he gave

The Eddy Family of Virginia
by
Nelson R. Eddy
Ihg Eddy Family by Nelson R. Eddy, whose notes appeared in
the October, 1977 VAN, has now been compiled into a four-volu~e
genealogy, The Eddy Family of Virginia. Volume I of the set is
an Introduction and Index to the other volumes, which are made up
of bound individual genealogy tables.

The book begins with an excellent description of the Eddy
Coat of Arms, whose motto was: "CRUX - MIHI - GRATA - QUIES." • • •
"THE CROSS IS TO ME A WELCOME REST."
There are variants in the early spelling of the name Eddy,
as Eddee, Ed, Edwy, etc. In the "Doomsday Book 11 the name EDDUE
occurred in a description of little Abington C~mbridgeshire, and
in times of King Edward the First, persons n~med Edde and Ede or
Edwy are made mention as having paid taxes in Worchestershire.
This study is confined to the Eddy family that immigrated
from Scotland to Virginia. Some early Virginia county reco:ds
are Au gu~ta, Bath, B?tetourt, Freder:i,.,ek, Montgomery, Rockb7i?ge
and Rockingham counties. Sources of information from Virginia,
as well as other states, include copies of marriages, personal
~ette7s ,.land dee?s, war records, newspaper clippings, gravestone
inscriptions, family association reports and photographs•

A.gi~t .c opy of th: Index volume has been given to the Southwest Virginia Genealogical Society from the author, and has been

�VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES

October 1978

THE LAST WORD
This October 1978 issue of Virginia Appalachian Notes
completes two years of publication by Southwestern Virginia
Genealogical Society. In looking back over the eight
issues, I find many changes and much i,wprovement from our
January 1977 first efforts. The thought that comes across
to me is from an advertising slogan, "Baby, you've come a
long way!"
As mentioned in the July "La.st Word", family heal th
problems have been determining my priorities since May.
While these problems have lessened, they are still present
and it is with deepest regret that I have resigned as &amp;liter
of Virginia Appalachian Notes.
It has been a labor of love for me to do whatever was
neces sary to get VAN ready for the printers and, of course,
my job was made so much easier by our members who have contributed so generously their material for publication . Our
next editor will find that there is ample material from
which to choose since our members have been most willing
to share. Mrs. Fowler has provided enough material for
years to come.
As for the VAN Staff, they have been so dependable and
it has made my job much, much easier. Jim Avery, Query
Editor, always had his queries in before the deadline, in
good condition and ready for the printer. Belva Counts,
Reviews Editor, has enough reviews ahead that if space were
available, we could use two or three for each issue. Marian
Landress, Art Editor, has provided our drawings very ably.
Luceile Stover has had her hands full handling our Surname
Index. And there have been others who have helped. My
thanks go to all.
Hopefully, I will be able to continue with Southwestern
Virginia Genealogical Society and to help our new editor in
whatever way I can. This is like saying "goodbye" to an
old friend,

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

There are many things that I want to talk about, but will make only a few
comments on some. #1: Our seminar held in April. All who came thoroughly
enjoyed it -- we all learned from the -speakers and they were fantastic!
Me -- I learn what to do and what not to do - if I ever help to plan
another one . Was going to write more about it - but happen~oo long ago.
Through the generosity of those attending, people not turning in their
expenses and a donation, the society purchased the 1800 and the 1810
census index of Pa. and the 1850 census index of O:b..io is_ on order. I want
to thank everyone again for all t he help "that was given to t he serriinar.
#2. I f you have not heard from as please forgive, We have grown to such
an extent that we are having to reorganize and only about a t of our
members are from Roanoke. We are asking new members to take over jobs
they know nothing about -- so please bear with us during our' growning pains'.
We are getting around to answering the letters -- even those that are
-- older than I care to mention.
#.JWe want to thank the many members
who have donated their records to the Virginia Room. These records have
helped many people in their research. Many of these records, VAN. cannot
publish because someone else (other then the donor) did the research but
can be placed in the library.
Have a good s -:; ;!!:l!er and do lots of research -- especially copy the court
house r P-c &lt;.n:ds, cemetery records, etc ---we and your library would love
to ha~~ them (at least a copy; it doesn't have to be typed.)

~~.}~~
REPRINTING THE

VAN.

I owe one member an apology _ I told him we would reprint o~ orders of 100
-- I was overruled. The VAN. will be reprinted when we re:eive 50 PREPAID
orders for VAN. The cost is $1.50 per issue ~: Jan, Apr, July, Oct and_
the index - total cost for Vol I is $7, 50. .kc you want Vol I or certain
issues send your check to Mrs Claude S Fowler, Box 5133, Roanoke, Va 24012 .
I f we do not receive 50 orders by the end of the year, we will ret urn y our
money to you. If you are interested, please try to have your money i n by
Oct, 1978.

CHANGES
We regret to announce that Gerri Glosh has resigned as t reasurer du e t o
personal reasons. She has done a wonderful job forJ.72- put i n a l ot of
hours on a difficult and often thankless job. I t will be har d to find
someone to take her place. Gerri, there i s no way t hat we can express in
words how much we appreciate the good j ob t hat you have done . Thanks so
much. We will miss her as treas urer but a t leas t we i n Roanoke can still
enjoy her company at the meetings.

VIRGINIA APPA,LACHIAN NOTES

BRICK UNION CEMETERY
Botetourt County, Virginia - near town of Troutville.
by

Jac~ueline

H Rader

The first record of this cemetery was compiled in 1958 by Jacqueline
Rader. Additions and revisions to this record were made by some on Nov.
1, 1964, IVT.ar, 20, 1966, and Mar. 22, 1966, after some work had been done
there to clear away heavy undergrowth. Many graves are marked only with
field stones and a few metal funeral home markers remain 1-ri th legible or
partly legible inscriptions. There were also a few graves marked with thick
boa.rds, rotting away, that may have had inscriptions on them many years ago.
These boards were destroyed when the grounds were burned over in 1964.
H

Mr. F:rank Brugh, who helped to dig graves

ther~ in

his youth (the late 1890s
and early 1900s), told the compiler of this record that the cemetery was
even then so crowded that often the gravediggers would accidently strike
the corner of another casket while preparing a new grave. Therefore, there
must be well over 200 people buried there.
It is very likely that several members of the Housman family were buried
in this cemetery, including Christian Housman and his wife, Eve. According
to Botetourt Deed Book 42, page 61.5, they donated the property on ~~hi ch
stood the old Brick Union Church. This was not adjacent to the cemetery,
but was within sight of the Brick Union burial ground. No deed for the
lands of the cemetery has been found.
The colored section of Brick Union Cemetery is inclosed in a secondary fence
-later removed - in the upper (west) corner, According to information
given by Will Girty, several Negro slaves were buried there; also six or
e~ght other colored men from other locations who died while working on the
construction of the railroad in the 1870s and early 1880s,
The names in this record that are preceded by an asterisk ( *) are those who
are supposed to have been buried i~ Brick Union Cemetery, but whose markers
were not located, Some of these never had a marker of any type. Other
markers could very well be buried beneath the soil; o::ie was accidently discovered under leaves and dirt by sound it produced when struck with the end
of a walking stick.
Some dates and i..'1.dications of family relationships that did not appear on
markers in the cemetery have been added from the genealogical files of
Jacqueline H P.ader. Such in.formation appears in parenthesis along with

In 1958 a legacy of $JOOO.OO was willed for the purpose of perpetual upkeep
of J cemeteries in Botetourt County: Brick Union Cemetery, the old Linkenhoker-Cline family cemetery, and Wheatland Cemetery, The donor was Miss
Marguxate Linkenhoker who died in Washington, D.C., on Ja.~. Ji, 1958, at
the age of 82 yrs. and 5 months. On Nov. 27, 1959, the Virginia Society
for Crippled Children and Adults was appointed successor trustee under the
will. However, no work was done at Brick Union Cemetery until the spring
of 1964 when some locust trees were cut and honeysuckle burned in the cemetery. The cemetery soon was smothered again by Wild vegetation. Extensive
cleaning of the grounds and a few repairs to graves and s t ones was done in
the early part of 1966, but by mid-summer the undergrowth was again so
heavy that it was not safe to enter the grounds and few t omes t ones could
be se~n from outside the fe~ce suITolL~ding the cemetery, Once-a-year

There are many field stone markers in Brick Union Cemetery and, before the
cemetery was burned over in 1964, several graves marked with thick boards
which probably had inscriptions at one time but which had rotted away. Some
of these markers without inscriptions are described as follows:

J

graves down slope from Alice R. Staton are marked with plain slab rocks
at the head and foot of each grave. These graves are adjoining each other
in a row.
2 footstones have been reset next to the trunk of a tree below the Boggess
plot.
The initials are "W.H.L." &amp; A.A.L," - probably Lemon.

9 graves marked with flat rocks; located up the slope and about 10" from
the row of 5 Camper funeral markers. These may be Sniders, according to
Pernie Rader; not sure.
8 graves marked with flat rocks; located beyond the above 9, Some of t hese
have been reset in a row, close together, since the cemetery was cleaned
off.
2 old round-top stones with c~"&gt;"Ved designs but no legible inscriptions;
located directly behind the J, K. Rader stone and to the right, back of
infant Rader,
Apparently these are footsones for the graves of John Kesler
and wife, Elizabeth.
2 thin rocks set upright; located about 6' right and slightiy above level
of Elizabeth Kessler, wife of John. . These 2 rocks stand side by side,

4

graves marked with rock slabs set upright; located about 15' and slightl y
towards fence from Susana Snider. These a lso have rock slabs at foot of

2 graves, one marked with thick board and t he other with old round-top s t on e
at head of grave and another similar smaller s t one at foot. Delicate border
design on headstone and simple abstract design on footstone, but legibl e
inscription.
The wooden marker was destroyed when the cemet ery wa s bu rned

About 20' right from the Henry H. Snider family graves, near secondary fence
2 graves marked with thick boards, rotting away. No trace of these after
cemetery was burned over.

Mostly illegible.
According to Will Girty, there are at least 6 or 8 colored men, unidentified,
buried there who died in the late 1870s and early 1880s while working on the
railroad during its construction. They were not local people. Also, there
are a number of slaves buried in Brick Union Cemetery who belonged to local
white citizens.

ABANDONED CEMETERY

by Jacqueline Hundley Rader - 1958
Once friends and kinsman often came
To now forsaken places They tended bulbs and trimmed the shrubs
With tears on loving faces;
And often did one come alone
In humble supplications,
To kn eel again, in sun or rain,
In reverent meditation Or pause in solumn silence,
Recalling days long past;
Memories, relived again In spirit, joined at last.
But that was oh, so long ago;
They rest here with us now The years pass by; how time does fly,
Each day the same, somehow Carved stones proclaim that we remain
Beneath once hallowed ground;
Time dissipates the names and dates
And broken stones abound,
Wbile other graves have had no sign
Above what once was sod They rest unknown, except to us,
And our Almighty God.

- - - -

--

- - - -

Hark: Does someone pass this way?
- A woodchuck, seeking food She finds some sprigs and tender twigs
To off er her young brood.
Though no man walks among us now,
We wait not here alone;
The birds still fly and angels sigh
Sweet songs of Heaven's home.
So, patiently and silently,
We wait upon the Lord;
For He has promised to His own Eternity's reward.
The b usy crowd goes rus hi n g on,·
Few know this place exists .
Our fields we've tilled, 0~~llvodices
s

i.,l

e ,

And weary bodies rest
Where weeds have killed the daffodil;
Few blossoms now survive And boxwoods raise their ragged arms,
Bare branches once alive.
.
Relentless vi~es now slowly climb
O'er broken, fallen stones
While some still stand, a ghostly band,
To guard last earthly homes.

VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES
RED TRAILS AND WHITE
The Mysterious Life of Caty Sage
By Mrs. Bonnie Sage Ball

One can imagine the feelings of Lovis Sage, wrinkled and whitehaired, now well along in her nineties, when she received an unusual
letter from her son, Charles Sage, in Western hussouri. The Sage homestead was located in Elk Creek Valley, Grayson County, Virginia, near
Independence. Tnis was a spring day in 1848. The letter read like this:
"Van Burren Co. !vtissouri
April the 2nd, 1848
Dear Mother, Brother and Sisters:
I again take up my pen to write you. I have often
written to you but never with such intense interest as at
the present time. • • • • Some three weeks ago I was at
Fort Leavenworth, and I met a half breed Wyandott Indian.
He told me there was a white woman living with them, that
her voice and features had a resemblance to mine. After
telling him the circumstances of my having had a sister
lost, he said he believed it to be she. So I determined
to go and see her myself. I did and got all the information I could and believe she is my long lost Sister Caty.
• • • • She looks to be about sixty years of age."
Caty (Catherine) Sage, when a small child, had been taken from her
home in Grayson County and later given to the Wyandotte Indian tribe by
the Cherokees.
From the foreword of this book, the author states that the reader
will see potentialities for a stirring historical novel. The nucleus has
been handed down through six generations of a pioneer Virginia family. So
rare are the circumstances, it was referred to by an early historian as
"Truth reads stranger than fiction."
Tne biography is based on nine letters, yellow and brittle with age ,
left to a grandson in Elk Creek Valley by his grandmother, Betsey Sage
Delph, who lived to see the dawn of the twentieth century. Betsey was
the youngest sister of the mysterious Caty.
A gift of Red Trails and wr,ite has been given to the Southwest Virqinia
Genealogical Society by the author, and it has been placed in the Virginia
Room of the Roanoke Public Library, Roanoke, Virginia. A copy of the book
may be ordered for $3.75 (postage included) from Mrs. Bonnie Sage Ball ,
606 Wood Avenue . (East), Big Stone Gap, Virginia, 24219. (63 pages, paperbac k ).

TO\'INS AND PLACES
(Editor's Note: This is the first column on names of tovms and
places in Virginia, V/est Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Suggestions,
questions, or contributions should be sent to J.V.Avery, Jr. PO
3ox 2154, Roanoke, Va. 24009.)
Our January 1978 issue of VA.J.~ contained a query requesting
information or research on Collins Creek in Augusta Co and Collins
Mills Post Office in Grayson Co.
The Post Office at Collins Mills was evidently only in operation for two years 1890-91. It was run·by H. Collins. The 1880
Census shows two "H. Collins": Houston a farmer age J6 (wife Della age 21, children: Charles J and Alice 9 mos.); and Hasten(r)
Collins also a farmer age 28 (wife Martha 26, children Bertha J,
and M . Margie 1). Other heads of families in the area were rrialon
age J4, Dennis 2 9, Randolph 31, James 39, and Elijah 77 (wife iVIa g gie
62). These families were found in the section of Grayson Co known
as "Old town".
No ref~rences to Collins Creek could be found in the inde x es
to the histories or .Annals of Augusta Co. The 6arliest Collins
.found was John Collins who is found there first 19 At:.ril 174·9·
There was a Collins Settlement in Lewis Co ·if V which was once
a part of Augusta Co. Collins Settlement was founded in 1797-98
by John Collins and his three sons: Jacob, Cornelius, a~d Isaac.
It was located in the southernmost portion of Lewis Co on the
West Fork River. The Post Office was first started by J . H. Camden
in 1821.

Swn.mer is here with a vengeance and we are complaining

Either extreme i.s bad and we seem to be getting both extremes
here in Virginia -- not at the same time though.
Elsewhere in VAN you will note that Gerri Glosh, our

She will surely be missed, especia ll y by y our Editor, since she was my good right arm.

when you can.
Pl ease read carefully the new Society Information Sheet.
This will t ell who to c ontact, and where, for various informatio n. If your ques t ions go to the right person, delays
in g e t ting an answer will be kept to a minimum.

VIRG INIA APPALACH IAN NOTES
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

~oeLI want to welcome all our members for 1978 andl\that each will find something in the VAN that will be of help. The sumame index will be published
as planned but may be the last time. '!he index has over 700 names and that
is not complete - all members did not send in names. The SVGS voted that
future su:rname indexes would be limited to 10 names per member. Our membership has grown so fast that to keep up with the sumame index is almost too
much for one person. Pedigree charts would take care of the sumame list
and be a much better source for a person checking for sumames. More
information is given on a chart and names are easier to place according
to time.
Remember that a name may not be common in your area but very
common. in another area. My maiden name, Waskey, is not common but there
were 5 Wi lliam Christopher Waskeys who fought for the CSA in Va. -- my
great grandfather and four of his nephews. A 11 ttle extra research had
to be done to put each one in theif' proper place on the charts. So please
send as much information as possible on the person you are seeking data on.
Almost forgot -- please designate Mr., Mrs, or Miss -- some names are used
for either male or female, some parents placed a name on us that should
be male and the person is female ---- Well, my face has been red several
times when I ask for . Mr. Jones and it should have been Mrs Jones.

't#ak-~
ps: Make me happy and send your pedigree charts.

------- - - - - PEDIGREE CHAR'.IS

As u s ually money is holding us back in furnishing pedigree charts for ea ch
member to fill out. So if you would fill out a chart and mail it to us
we will place it in Vol. II (which is in the Virginia Room of the main
Roanoke City Public Library). Vol. I has been indexed. Numbering on a
chart: #1 is the person which starts the chart - can be male or female
and is the only exception to the rule that all males are even numbers and
all females are odd numbers. As you fill in the chart, you will notice
that when a number is doubled you have the father (4-8-16 etc) and the
5-9-17 etc will be the wife of the even number (and mother of 2-4-8 etc ).
On the charts try to include as much information as possible -- it is
much easier for someone to identify the person and it may be the one
they are working (possible to give you some information) . We also accept
charts from non-members as well as members . Several people have been
able to get help from the charts in the notebooks .
Mail the charts to: Mrs Claude S.Fowler , P 0 Box 5133, Roanoke , Va 24012
PS : Us e only the maiden name of the wife --- never add her married name
unl ess she was a widow, be s ure to designate whether 1st or 2nd marriage.

may not be published without permission of the two men. As
yo~ ':"ill see there are differencesand a person should get a copy of the
original to be sure Yhich date or name is correct.

J

Usually the person co;h_ng the records for his own use will not spend
a gre~t deal of time trying to figure which number or letter is correct
and will J?Ut down first impression - especial.ly if they can go back
to the original if the material. is needed .. for research.
This material has not been checked against the Marriage Register of
Roanoke County - this is a record of the bonds and minister returns
in the files of the court house. So there are probably more marriages
recorded for the period than we have listed here.

TI-lE DARSTS OF VIRGI NIA
by
H. Jackson Darst

"Whe n a few we eks old I was carried to the old . "Darst place"
at Dublin to be shown to my venerable great-grandmother, Margaret
(Trolinger) Darst, who in her partial blindness, asked mother ' to
hold him closer.' Although I cannot remember great-grandmother,
I grew up in an environment in which she played a significant role
and where family history was a part of the everyday fabric of life.
A sense of continuity with family members long deceased existed; one
learned very early the . significance of being 'well-born."'
This is the first paragraph from the preface of THE DARSTS OF
VIRGINIA, a chronicle of ten generations in the Old Dominion, with
sketche s of the Cecil, Charlton, Glendy, Grigsby, Larew, Miller,
Trolinger, Welch, Wygal, and Wysor families.
One has to read and examine THE DARSTS OF VIRGINIA to appreciate the research ar.d authenticity behind it. What began with the
distribution of mimeographed copies of this "Genealogy" 1943, the
research of a high school ~ tude nt , became a 574- page book published
by the author in 1972, Wil1 t amsburg, Virginia.
The book has fifty illustrations, fourteen chapters on the
descendants of the Darst family, ten appendices of allied families ,
documented notes on each family, a bibliography and index .
The very outstanding bibliography lists as sources : ar tic l es ,
books and pamphlets, church records, famil y Bi bles, newspaper s and
religious papers, genealogical charts, public document s , s crapbooks ,
theses, dissertations and research papers, unpubl i shed materia ls in
private collections, and unpublished materials in public co l lec ti ons .
THE DARSTS OF VIRGINIA by H. Jackson Darst has been pl a ced in
the Virginia Room of the Roanoke Public Library as a gift fr om The
Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society, Roanoke , Virginia.

THE LAST WORD

Spa c e is on your editor ' s mind with the publication of t h i s jssue .
We have a backlog of good material
to be publish ed , but our space limitations are such
that this mate rial must wa it f or future · i~su~s7 · We ~
omi tted the list of new books added to ·the Virginia
Roo m co lle c tion and ha v e had to delay the . listing qf
so me Gil e s County and Botetourt County . cemeta:d. es.
T h~ re ~ould be no problem filling fifty plus pages.
This will be our hope f or the future. Write to let ~s
know y our wishes on the size of VAN
.
Next month we plan to include a page of informa~ion about Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society,
including th e names and addresses of those persons who
have volunteered or been elected to handle various
responsibilities for the Society. By cqntacting the
proper person yo u will receive a quicker .response. And
a sta mped addressed envelope helps too.
A note to any members who have sent in queries--Jim
Avery, Query Edi tor, has had some po.sta.l. problerrs and is
afraid some of his mail may have gorie astray. The problem
has been corrected and he a sks that you send your queries
again if they have not been published • . Remember though ..
the deadline for receiving material for VAN is the 1st
of the month previous to date of publication. Queries
for the July issue must reach Jim by the ·. 1st of June ,
earlier if possible.
Secretary Luceile Stover has informed us that. there
are 783 names listed in our surname index. Whew! This
represents many hours of work by Luceile and is ind eed
too much for one person. To quote Luceile, "the files
are going to look like the .F13I 1 s in a year or two."
Idea for a new feature in ,YAN! Jim Avery has suggested a column of questions and answers ·a .b ou·t towns_
and places in our area. Sound·s good- - what do ¥OU .think?
Once again, I urge all members to send in material
to be published in VAN. Publication helps to preserve your
material for the future and gives it . wide co verage since
we have members from New York to California. .Al thoQ.gh
space is limited now, we hope t o have larger issues in
the future .

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
I'm excited as a contestant on a quiz show. Just found out we have over
200 membersl Dreams do come true. One little "complaint''about the members. Pe d igree charts. Those who have not sent one in PLEASE do so. You
don't have much on it? send it and, maybe, someone is working on the same
line and can help you. We do have a Pedigree Notebook placedin the Va.
Room of the main Roanoke City Library and ANYONE can place a pedigree
chart in 1 t. Send us a chart, and 1 t will be placed in the library. Our
Va. Room is well used -- not only by the local "buffs" but by visitors
from all over the US plus foreign countries. So help could come from an
unexpected source.
My New Year's Resolutions are (1) that I will clean off the top of my desk
without "losing" any letters, finding them months later, and (2) that I
will answer a letter within a month ---well two months.
My wish for everyone: you will find that elusive ancestor who came from
"nowhere"

Richa rd Di ck enson

Introduction
A search of literatu re on Af'ro- A111cric::i ns i n App a l ;:i c h ia
bas f".lilP-d to reveal an ex t ant ?,en e ::i. lo g y nf' t11is Rr oup.
Therefore, in order to initi;:ite t he p r o c es s of· Pn c o ura gi ng s uch
genealogical tracts, this s t ud y i s o:f f er Re! ::i.s 0 ne t:h 3. t will
hopefully be f'ollowed by many ot h er:. .
I t is n ot R S complete
:is it could be, given more ye3.r s o f
s tudy ;:i n d rP.sea rch, neither
is the writer satisfie .~ t hat g_ll p o .::;.:..; ib l e ve r if't c ;:i. t i ons and
corroborations h~ve been made.
Bu t i t is d o n e i ..-, th e spirit
of integrity .q,nd as honestly as p o s si b l e ..
The i11riter c.q,me across th e An dersons 1 1tPr r e r.tching a
plate::lU while re s earching his own Ap p 3.l a c h ia n A:f ro-American
roots in Russ ell Cou.nty, Virgi ri ia .
His grqnd:f a ther--Aaron
P. Dickenson--was mrn in Ru s sel l Co. in 1874 A.nd had accompanied his (Aaron's) parents, Edmund Clay and Leah (Kiser)
Dic}~enson, west to Kansas a oout 1883 .stnd then on to Oklahoma
in 1889. But except for some cen s u s , h irth and marriage
records of the Post Reconstruction period of' Virginia, nothing
definite could he found on pre-civil w8.r c o nnections.
The
current speculation is that E e Clay Dick e nson (and his pa rents)
had t.een slaves in the fa mily of' the m.q,n f'or whom the last
Virginia county--Pickenson--had been named in 1880.
The man
hi mself, William Jennings Dickenson, a rE-:adjuster legislator,
and lawyer, had no slaves, hut his f'qther, Ja.n1es Dicl::enson, a
UnionJst, did h3.ye slaves.
This is one of tl1e q_nomalies one
is most surprisea to find.: peo p le oppose0 -to secession but
holding onto the very sytnbols that c;::i_use:i t he rupture in the
Union. Such ambivalence in .freedom-loving southwest Virginia
is not altog e ther surprising ·:1hen o!le c0nsiders that the author
of the Declarati) D of Independence ql .so had sl3.ves.
H.qving come upon the Ander.3ons, i t '118.S not di:fficult to
make the decision to research their geneEtlogy.
For one thing,
t hey live ~nd have work e d in thP- same county A.nd town in which
t he writer live s and works.
i-' oreover, there are considerable
P.J.a t er ials avail ~ ble concern1ng them: U . S. census records,
co unty cour t records, Freedmens Bureau (BHFAL) Cens l . ses, newsP:ip er articles over the past s even years, :f:=tmily Bi bl es, cemet a r y re co rd s, and personal interviews.
l :o rP.over, the lucid 107
year Mrs . Anderson was a storehouse of in.formation. The first
of t wo t a ped interviews was taken on Ju,YJe 4 , 1977 with ~rs.
L::iura Anders on a nd her daug hter, J&lt; is s Nettie Anderson.
A
short un t~ p e d conv e rs a tion was 11eld with l·': i s s And er son f'ollowing

another interview held with an 87-yearold co~sin, Mrs. Addie
Jones, who mentioner th3t there was a Cherokoo Indian ancestry
citeri i r! a n ew spaper article on the Anderson 1 s. Miss Anderson
was on the way to the hospital to see her mother, but offered
information on which newspapers to research. The second taped
j_nterview ( wi th Miss Anderson) was held on August 14, 197'7,
some five d a ys after Mrs. Anderson's burial.
An acknowledgement of thanks !!lust be 9.ccorded Ch.'1rles ''Sonny"
Johnson, a local businessman--anct relative by marri~ge to Mrs.
and 'Miss Andersons--who provided this writer with the initial
introduction to the Andersons.
The format of this article will be to follow the attached
ancestry chart and provide short annotated biographical details,
if available.
(Editor's Note: An appendix is also provided which
is the obituary article appearing in the Blacksburg-Christiansburg News Messenger of Thursday, August 7, 1977.
Ancestry Chart Enumerations
1. Nettie G. Anderson
She received her ele:nentary educ3. tion in North Carolina,
lived with her uncle in Cincinnati, Ohio where she attended
high school and took teachers trainjng in junior college.
She
earned her Masters •'l.egree in chemistry from Vil'.'ginia State
College in Peterslurg. Moving to Philadelphia during the
Depression, she became an Urban League caseworker in South
Philadelphia during the day while pursuing courses in pharmacy
at Temple Uni verSii ty at night.
These were singular educational achievements for a Bl~ck
woman from Montgomery County, VA. during the pre-World War I
to Depression years.
It led her to teaching in Blacksburg for
18 years--including two years in Wake Iorest--and ten years
in Pulqski, before retirement in 1964.
She has share~ the family home with her mother until her
mother's recent death, and will continue to reside there with
a cousin who will move in with her. The home, on 3/8~hs of an
acre, was deeded from S. L. Murril in August of 1896.
It is
on Gilbert Street, a street area of Blacksburg euphemist ically
termed 11 ·Newtown 11 after the Negro es had made it one of their
settlements in order to be closer to their work at V.P.I. and
in Blacksburg homes. Both Mrs. and Miss Anderson prided themselves on their relatively few dome sti c jobs they had had in
their lifetimes. Miss Anderson had only one such job , her
first after high school.3

buried in the Westview cemetery of Blacksburg, her headstone
reads 1849-1929, but other evidence (BRFAL, marri~ge license ,

V~ .

Copper Creek is the :fascina ting name o f' a small s t ream that fl.ows south
through folds of high green h:l11s and mo unta.:1.ns :in Russel l arxi Scott Coi..mties.
'lh:is is also the name of' an ele mentary school , modern to the l a st degree, that
stands on the prominence along t he main thoro ughfare from Abingdon to Castlewocxi
am Norton.
A by-road from near Dickensonvilla to Gate City Winds its way south over
hill ard dale along Copper Creek and amon g the farm h omes a.rrl churches that are
sprinkled in the valley and coves. Ha.rd surfa ced, this road is one such as Grandfather would not believe if he could come back to tra v e l the trails he knew so

"Mocking .Bird Hill" is the name posted at one country home surroumed by an
array of colorful blossoming plants~ geraniums, petuni.as and marig olds during th
summer and late fall.

Down the road on a knoll, shaded by aged oak trees, there stands a church,
GRASSY CHURCH, Baptist-Methodist, and around i t t here is a burying ground with
many gravestones , some very old, sane new.
It is an historic place With two
denominations occupying the same building which, from its appearance was built

of locally made brick.
According to Kegley' s Virginia Frontiers, a man by the name of' Salyer was
among the very first of the pioneers to penetrate the mountainous Southwest. He
in this old churchyard, there are numerous graves marked with the name Salyer, s
more than 100 years old. It is interesting to n ote the way names change. Sever
old stones spelled one name, Sexson, while right next to it, the name becomes
Sexton. Vicars, too was certainly a name belonging to a large f'amily, there '\&lt;le
so many stones bearing that name.

Now and then as one travels along rout 71, the eye catches a glimpse of a
small family burial plot on yonder high hill.
To get there would reqUire a lon
walk across the fields and a climb to the top which i 5 an indication the now
abandoned private cemetery is quite old and no road leads to it.
About half way between Di.ckensonville and Gate City, there is a village
named for the first settlers of the community, Nickels.
'!he village of' NickelsVi.1
where the old melds into thd\ new, boasts two large churchs, s:ide by side - the Me
odist aiki Baptist. ·.
'!he First Baptist Churcn is larger and older, if' one judges by the markers
at old graves near~y. 'lhe i~sent building wa.s co~structed in 1922 and a rather
handsome structure it is with stained glass window's and :front columrfs. But this
is surely not the first edifice of' its kirrl to occupy the site. 'lhe Rev. Robert
Kilgore was buried there in 1851 according to the marker erected :for him and his
wife, Jane, deceased in 1861. Rev. Kilgore is said to be the first Mason to be
buried in Scott County and his grave marker bears the insignia. o:f that :rraterni •
However, since his well-lmown family were o:f tha staunch Baptist :faith, ~ he
himself a minister, one must conclude the Baptist congregatinn existed here in
his lifetime.

the villagers is inter ed.

In thi s same ceme tery, numerous markers ha.ve been placed at graves to
memorialize members of the Bond, Broadwater, Frayser of Frazier, Bush and
others.
Since i t is a quite old burying ground, i t is worth a visit if one
is searching for family b ackgroundo
In the early days of this village and many others like it, it was not uncommon for the churchyard to be used for the burial of' the dead of the Community•
In :fact, it wa s quite the custom among our pioneer forefathers. One group that
migrated to this section of our state were so devoutly religious that they would
not travel on Sunday but stopped to hold services during the day instead.
I f one is looking for history and ance stral links, no better place is to be
found than an old c e metery even though some say the dates on the stones are not
completely reliable
Neverthele ss , they are bound to be within a reasonable
span of time and i t is exciting to find a great grandfather or even more distant
granmothe r buried there.

THE LAST WORD
We mentioned in the October issue th::it we hoped to
institute a new department in VAN, whereby Looks sent to
us would be reviewed and placed in the Virginia Room of
the Roanoke Public Libraryo
So far , we have i2 c e ived one
book, The Darsts of Virginia, whi c h we expected to review
in this issue; however, with the rush of the h ol id.:i y season,
our special reviewer wa s unahle to meet the deadline, so we
promise it for our April is sue.
All members are asked to send us m::iteri1.l f or publication, but we have one requesto
Plea se put your nrt.rne on
anything you send us. We don't want to give the wrong
person credit, and we do want you to have the cr ed it for
work you have done . Should anyone wish to remai n anonymous, we will respec t your wishes, 1-iut we do pref' er t.o
publish names and addresse s so that our readers can write
directly to our contributors.
Attention all GILES COUNTY rert.ders!
Does ;:inyone have
any cemetery listings for ycur cou.nty? We have had some
requests for these and would appreci3.te your help.
Also,
members in other counties should consider sending in any
cemetery listings they might have--you never know when you
~ight supply the missing branch in someone's family tree~
How does it feel to be one year old? Great!
Virginia
Appalachian Notes is now in its second year and growing • .
(Ifave you noticed how much f~tter we are?)
Our growth
·
can be attributed to all who have sent us material (we urge
you to send more, both brief and lengthy items are needed),
and to our staff, the people who do the work required in ·
publishi~g a qua r terly.
Your editor relies heavily on her
associate editor, who ha3 assumed the responsibility for
getting our local members to help with the many jobs required .
in moving our printed VAN to the membership.
Only those
who h~ve worked on this job know what is involved--keeping
the mailing list current, stapling the 30 or so pages together (and getting them right side up and in correct order!),
typing labels, putting lab~ls on the envelopes, stuffing the
envelopes, sealing or putting the flap inside stamping our
return address, stamping postage, figuring weight and postage, taking to the post office, separ~ting by zip code, and,
no douht, a few more st~ps not listed atove,.
Our q,ssocia-te
editor and her wurker s wave done a good jou and deserve our
thanks.
We also want to call your attention to the index for
Volume I, ~for 1977, which is included with this mailing.
Our president, Babe Fowler, has done a f~ntastic job on this;
she bad includec'i not o::.i~y names which appeared in VAN for 1977,
but also places ~nd topics. Truly, this is a labor of love.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
This is a very serious message and all of us can help.
(Especially those
of us who live in Roanoke.) The Library Board is asking City Council to
approve the plans for an UPWARD extension to the main library. These
pland.s would OOUBLE the size of the Virginia Room, enlarge the area for
the Tal.king Book services and the book processing area. I'm very sel.fish
-- I want the Virginia Room enlarged. The extension would be the space
over the gar~e in the back. Let the City Council know that you want the
ad.di tion --- write or call them. Al.so, ask if they would the heating and
cooling system of the Virginia Room corrected. Some of the most valuable
books in the library are slowly being destroyed by improper tempeatures.
Let the City Council know that we use the 11 brary and need the ad.di tion
space. Those who do not live in Roanoke, but use the library, let the
City Council know it. Many will ask "What is the Virginia Room?" We
should tell them.

WEDDLE HISTORY
By Calvin Weddle
Johan Michael Weddle was the father of Elijah and Elijah
was the father of Benjamin.
Johan Michael Weddle with all of his family left the banks of
the Rhine River in Germany and set sail for America on a ship
named Francis and Elizabeth some time in the year 1742. Johan
Michael Weddle's mother and son, Elijah, died on the trip and
were buried at sea. Benjamin Weddle was born in 1742 in
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, after the arrival of the family .
Johan Michael Weddle also had a son named Christian Weddle who
settled in Lancaster County; Christian's children were (1) Maria
Cathrine, born 1758 (2) Friedrich, born 1756 (3) Daniel , born
1758 (4) and (5) Johan Michael and John Andra (twins) born 1765 .
Benjamin Weddle or Captain, subject of this sketch, married
Annie Mary Eiler in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He left
his home to help fight in the Indian war of 1774. He fough t
in the battle of Point Pleasant under General Andrew Lewis.
Governor Dunmore, a royal governor, was so enraged by the
patriotism and heroism of these men that he put a price on
their heads. Weddle fled to the Horse Shoe bend on New Ri v e r
near where the city of Radford now stands. After living the r e
awhile, he heard that Governor Dunmore had some men after him.
He was willing to stand his ground and defend himself but hi s
wife begged him to flee so he yielded to her entreaties a nd
went to Bent Mountain. There he picked another place and a ime d
to make a home but his pursuers had followed him to Bent Mountain
and burned down his cabin. He left there and came to t h e p la c e
now owned by C. H. Mitchel about 8 miles west of Floyd Court
House in Floyd County (but it was not yet named Floyd County).
This was around 1790 or the date of his deed was February 27,
1790.
He served in the Revolutionary War and was pa t ented
some land by Patrick Henry for military services . I n all he
owned 1600 acres of land. He had a son named Andrew who was
a minister and inherited the homestead. The fi r st Communi o n
services of the Church of the Brethren in Floyd County we re
held in this home. Pewter cups and plates were use d in the
service.
Some of them are still in the bands of the de s c e ndants.
Twice a year Benjamin Weddle drove a six hors e wago n around 225
miles to the state capital at Richmond , Virgi nia , to get
groceries and supplies for himself and neighbo r s . He died on
a return trip from Richmond. He was buried bes ide the road at
the place of death sometime between February 16 and April court
1807.
He had anticipated as much and shortly before making
the trip he had made a will . This will i s on record at the
Montgomery County Court House , in t he same c ommunity he settled
the first time. He wrote t he will Feb rua ry 16, 1807.

IN OLD BLACKSBURG
Dr (W. B. ) Conway Gives Some Very Interesting Remi nescences:
Who Was Who i n the Old Days of the Village--Whe r e and How They Lived
(Reproduced by Request)
(Reproduced from a typewritten copy of an article in Home News, a weekly
journal of home interests, Blacksburg, Virginia, Thursday, September 9,
1916. This copy was typed by Dr W. Conway Price [and retyped f or publication in Virginia Appalachian Notes by his daughter, Anne Hayden Yates]-Dr Conway's grandson--August 1975. A rough map of Blacksburg in the
early l900's was drawn by W. C. P. for another purpose and is included
here since it helps to clarify the test. Numbers in parentheses correspond to those inserted from memory on the map. Commen t s in brackets
were inserted by W. C. P. also to help clarify the text.)
To realize the condition of affairs at the time I came to Southwest Virginia,
it is well to remember that it was but a few years after the war between
the States. The reconstruction period was cl osing its last chapter of
that eventful war. Little fighting had been done here on top of the
Alleghenies, and in consequence the people of this section had not suffered so severely as had those of other parts of the State. These bea ut i ful
blue green hills had not been stained with the blood of fight i ng men.
Blacksburg was then a town of between three and four hundr ed inhabitants.
"William Black gave thirty-two acres of the land on wh i ch t he t own now
stands, and which was incorporated by t he General Assembly of Virgi ni a in
1798. By this Act, George Rutledge, John Black, James P. Preston,
Edward Rutledge, William Black, and John Preston we r e made tru stees .
Middle New River Settlements, page 381.

The only surviving members of the Black family are Al exander and Charl es
W. Black. The Preston and Olin Institute, the modes t beg inni ng of t he
present V. P. I., then occupied but one building, the s ho p bui lding t hat
was burned. The closest communication with the ou t side world wa s two
hours trip in hacks to the Norfolk and Western Railroad at Chri s t i an sburg
Depot--and some citizens had never seen a locomotive .
Now I will tell you something of the old town and her people when I fir s t
met them. In my ramblings a few days ago around the t own (t hat part of
it that I knew so well in 1871), it brought back t o my mind ma ny incidents
and memories of my youthful days. The names of t he old citizens and the
locations of their homes. For the benefit of tho se who also may recall t he
past, I want to draw a picture of the t own as I r emember i t by nami ng over
those old families and pointing out t heir homes. On en t er ing the t own
on Main St r eet from the east [sou t hea st ] , on t he righthand s ide off f rom

was then, as always, the home of hospitable, kindly folks, intelligent
and alert , loyal and true friends either in happiness or distress. If
I were asked to characterize the town in one phrase, I wo uld say: It
is the place to which one always wishes to return.
[Dr William Buchanan Conway was born near Wolftown in Madison County,
Virginia 3 January 1845. He enlisted in Company C, 4th Virginia Cavalry,
Wickham's Brigade, Lee's Division in 1862, was promoted to corporal,
and served to the end of the War Between the States. He then studied
medicine under Dr Samuel R. Rixby. In the fall of 1867, he entered
Washington University in Baltimore, Maryland, where he was graduated
22 February 1869. In 1871 he moved to Blacksburg, Virginia, where he
practiced medicine for many years. In 1875 he was elected by t he Board
of Visitors to the position of physician and surgeon for the Virginia
Agricultural and Mechanical College, in which positi on he served, except
for one year, until 1890. In 1891 he moved to Athens, Georgia on account
of ill health, where he practiced medicine until his retirement.
Dr Conway was a member of the Blacksburg city counc il, and its t r easurer,
for 10-12 years.]

Montgomery County 1 in which Blacksburg is located, was
formed from Fincastle county in 1776 and wa s named for
General Richard 1-lontgomery, an American Revolutionary War
hero.
As early as 1768 several famili e s had settled in the
present-day area of Blacksburg , but these early settlers
were massacred during the French and I n di an war. At that
time, Montgomery County extended to the Ohio River and was
twelve times as large as the state o f Connec ticut. Later
as many as nineteen additional count ies were formed from

lt.

The "Wilderness Road," which traver ses Montgomery County ,
carried thousands of settlers on thei r way west and many remained in the Montgomery County areae Pa r t of this area
drains into the New River, which flows to the west and eventually reaches the Mississipp i Riveri part drai ns i nto the
Roanoke River, and fin a lly into the Atlantic Ocean.
Today, :M ontgomery County conta ins 395 sqo mi .. ( 252,800 a c res ).

Driving past your local cemetery on a sunlit day, you may see members
of a new sect of Americans whose haunt is the graveyard. They come not
to rob a grave, but to rub a gravestone. Gravestone rubbing is the perfect adjunct to a family tree.
Be sure to carry the proper materials for the rubbing and do not be
caught as the reviewer of this article was when she visited her great,
great grandparents' graves, John and Elizabeth Wells Hillman in Scott Co.'
Va. -- death dates 1871 and 1885, add a prefectly legible epitaph ---"R~STING IN HOPE OF A GLORIOUS RESURREnTION". Tombstones speak of the
generation in which they were erected and the persons whom they mark.
For just a few dollars worth of materials you can make a gravestone rubbing that captures the spirit of a life gone by in an intrigtrl.ng art
work.
From your local art supply store of stationer's secure t he followings
Light weight tear-resistant=. Rice, mulberry or arc hi tect ' s detail

Stiff brush (not wire) and eraser for cleaning stone•
Scissors or knife for cutting paper or weeds growing about the
stone

Cloth to clean your hands when finished.

rubbing.

You are now ready to block your design with the broadest part hoflyeour

He lpf ul tips - bef ore - during - and after a gravestone rubbing.
Be sure to ask permission from the sexton or caretaker before
beginning your rubbing.
Avoid sandstone markers that can be scarred permanently.
Ke e p in mind that on a warm day the stone and wax will interact
more easily .
Roll -- never fold the finished rubbing. A spray fixative will
prevent smudging , but isn't necessary with careful handling .

NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH
Your edi t or attended the above institute wh i ch was
held July 11 through 29, 1977 at the National Ar chives i n
Washington, D. c. It was a learning experience not soon
forgotten.
We attended lecture sessions from 9:00 AM t o
5:00 PM daily; in addition, there were three n i ght sess i o ns
and four field trips. The trips were to the Li b r a r y of
Congress, the DAR Library , Washington Na tio na l Reco r d s
Center at Suitland, Maryland, and a choice of t h e Stat e
archiv~l depositories at Harrisburg , Penns y lvania, o r at
Richmond, Virginia, and Raleigh, North Ca r o l ina.
The speakers were men and women, well- known in the
field of genealogy, such as Milton Rubinc a m, John Fr e d eri c k
Dorman, Netti Schreiner-Yantis, and many ot h e r s . Th ere
were fifty-four participants jn the course a nd they came
from all over the country, son e from as fa r a way a s Or e gon
and California. We excha nged names which we we r e researching ,
helped each other with various projects, and a t th e end of
the three weeks felt we had known e a ch o t he r much longer.
The National Archives staff , espec ia l ly Le slie Buhler ,
Jimmy Walker, and Bill Linder , were mos t helpful a nd kno wledgable and must be commended for their pati ence.

improve. Our aim has been to aid others in their genealogical searches and this will be our aim in the coming year;
l::ut this aim will be accomplished only by t he continued
contributions of our readers. We depend on you.
As this is being written, our By-Laws are in the process of being changed so that our year will run from January
1st to December 31st. Memberships which were due to expire
August 31st will be extended to December 31st, pending
approval of the By-Law changes. This means that our 1977
members receive a bonus of three months membership; however,
we ask that you renew your membership now so that you wi11
not miss the next issue of VAN. Send your check t o our
treasurer, Gerri Glosh, 301-"HOuston Avenue, NE, Roanoke,
Virginia 24ol2. This will insure your name appearing on
our membership roll and also that the surnames in which
you are interested will be published. Membership rolit
Surname Index, and VAN Index will be available s oon a er
the first of the year.
We would like to institute a new department in VAN
which would be similar in some respects t o our" Exc~ng e
Bulletin Notes". If you have published a book vhiC _y;[~~
would like us to review, send a copy to the :Editor, Roanoke
ginia Appalachian Notes, 2609 Hillcrest Av enue, NW, b e pur-'

KESSAGE FROM YOUR PRESIDENT
Here I go again--another request f or our members.
We
need material for the quarterly.. Anyo ne who has d o n
any
research must have copi es of recor d s~ county, war, letters,
etc. We want records that have not been published recently.
Of course , if you happen to own o r have access to material
that was published years ago, we would lik e that too.
Newspapers are another good source--ho w many obituaries a r e about
people from Virginia? How about family legends? Did I ever
tell you about "Indian" Bill Laff erty? Well, he was c ap tured
by the Indians and--oh, you have one in your family too?
Write and soon ,
Babe Fowler

�MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRESIDENT
In 1975 I said, "Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a
genealogical society, a quarterly for the society, and
headquarters or our own building. The society is in its
second year and growing. There is no way that I can
express my feelings on seing the first issue of Appalachian
Notes. My thanks to all of you for making the first two
parts come true. Now for the third part--! was just told
to shut up.
Meekly, your president,
Babe Fowler

PROGRAM COMMITTEE REPORT
Bringing up to date the four programs for the Southwe stern Virginia Genealogical Society during the year:
Professor Richard M. Swartz of the Sociology/Anthropology
Department at Roanoke College opened the 1976 fall season
with an evaluation of the relationship of sociology and
anthropology with genealogy. The genealogist must be aware
of events that were taking place at the time of migration,
not only in neighboring states but also in places far from
home.
Mr. Dan Smiley of Malcolm Blue Print &amp; Supply Corporation
exhibited geological survey-topographic maps, showing such
featur es as roads, railroads, cities, and towns; location
of school, church, and cemetery, also the little creek near
which Great Grandpa and Great Grandma made their home.
Patsy Testerman, Chief Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court of
Roanoke, talk ed on some of the duties and responsibilities
of her office: recording deeds, wills, issuing marriage
licenses, certifying copies of court orders, which would be
very helpful to the genealogist to further his search for
his kin •
.Jim Avery, one of our members, who has made a detailed study
of migration through New york, Ohio, and Pennsylvania into
the Shenandoah Valley, exhibited maps showing the family's
journey into Virginia.

The first eight counties were called shires. Today, their
names are: James City, Henrico, Charles City, Norfolk, Elizabeth
City, Isle of Wighti Warwick, and accornac in the Tidewater section of Virginia. They lie around the southern part of Chesapeake Bay and along the banks of the James River. These were
organized in 1634.
The next counties to be organized were: Morthampton,
Middlesex, King and Queen, Princess Ann, Essex, Richmond, King
William, Prince George, King George, Hanover, Spottsylvania,
Goochland, and Caroline. Their organization was completed
by 1728 • • • almost 100 years after the original shires. These
counties were nearly all above the James, along the York, Rappahannock, and Potomac Rivers. The last counties to be founded
in this section were Frederick, Loudon, and Fauquier. They
were organized by 1759.

-#63.

Rockbridge County. Organized 1778, formed from Botetourt
and Augusta. Nearly all these settlers came from Ulster in
Ireland and Strathclyde in Scotland. In the year 1718 , 300,000
people came from here to America. These people were fierce
sticklers for personal liberty. The Valley of Virginia can be
said to extend from Winchester in the North to Bristol in the
South. John Peter Stalling , a German, and John Lewis , a refugee
from Ireland, settled the Valley first. Lewis brought over
several hundred men from Ulster and in 1832 he arrived in Rockbridge. Lewis had already built on what is now Lewis Creek.
Lewis had over 100 families and included the ancesters of:
Archibald Alexander, James McDowell, Andrfw Lewis , and Stonewal l
Jackson . They were all from Ulster and Strathclyde which a t
that time included all of southwestern Scotland. In 1745 ther e
were 4ooo people living in that section.
Benjamin Borden agent of Lord Fairfax , was grant ed 100 , 000
acres if he settled loo families in ten years • • • cost wa s
fifty pounds per 1000 acres • • • he had Borden Mano r a t Sprout
Run in Frederick County and 100 , 000 at the headwater s of t he
James River, where he located 92 families in two year s • • • •
He died in 1742 . He brought over James Patten, his son- in-law,
who settled on the Catawba; Ephriam McDowell , h i s son John,
Hugh Telford, Paul Whittey, Archiba ld Alexander, Andrew Mo ore,
Sampson Archer, and Captain John Ma thews . I n 1732 John McDowell,
cousin of John Lewis, settled on the Borden Tr ac t. Borden
settl ed on him 1000 a cres for survey wo rk. The Borden tract

SPREAD OF GENEALOGY

1. A minilecture was given on genealogy by Gerri Glosh at
Roanoke Catholic Elementary School at the request of Madelyn
Prince, school librarian, who has thought of and put together
a program giving exposure to hobbies and other interests for
the children. In lt.neage research, it is so important that we
start young in gathering supplemental information on our ancestry. The real short cut will be when a member of a given family
line has done the research and will let you copy it. If this is
not possible, you must refer to family Bibles, county records,
deeds, and other legal documents, census records, and marriage
records.
2. A genealogy club has been organized at William Fleming High
School. This club was formed due to the high student interest
in tracing family histories . A few of the thirty members had
begun research before the club was established, but most are
just beginning. The main purpose of the club, then, is for the
students to find out how to go about their research and to discuss problems. Advising them in procedure and research problems
are Claudia Geiger, Lois Cox, and Mary Maier, teachers who have
been engaged in genealogy research for a number of years. Programs wi ll also include guest speakers from other local organizations and libraries.

�LAST WORD
By The F&lt;litor
The second issue -Of Appalachian Notes is now complete
and we would like to take time to comment briefly on our
efforts to date. Our staff is growing, but we need more
members who will take over certain areas of responsibility
for our publication. Look on page 27 of this issue for a
listing of our staff members. Will you fill one of the
empty slots?
The cover design for future issues is the work of
Marian Landress. She has promised to handle all art work,
so if you have any ideas along this line, please talk with
her. Luceile Stover is handling the Surname Index and Betty
Low will take over as Circulation F&lt;litor with our next issue.
Our thanks to these members for assuming these responsibilities.
We felt that the membership would like some information
about our plans for Appalachian Notes, so we have set up
guidelines to be found elsewhere in this issue. If there
are any questions concerning any of the items, please contact your editor. We need feedback in order to know the
wishes of the membership. Would you like a "letters to the
Editor" column? Or a Suggestion Box? Let us know. Your
officers and staff of the quarterly are anxious to serve you
and we need to hear from you. Please write or call.

- - - - - - -- ------ - - ----- --- - ADDENDUM - April 16, 1976
As the members attending our April meeting know , we held
up publication of this issue to enable members to select a
permanent name for our quarterly. It is now official , our
new title is VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES . The membership
felt that the new name is more descriptive of the area covered
by Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society, as well as
being more readily identifiable.
This issue will go out under our original name the July
issue will be under our new name, VIRGINIA APPALACHIAN NOTES .
We hope you like the change.

MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRESIDENT
The Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society
is a young society which is struggling to get on its
feet and needs all the help that it can get.
We have
many dreams - a beautiful genealogical 11 bra.ry - one
day! Our main aim is to help each other in our research
and try to help others if we can.
One thought--wouldn' t
it be wonderful if each county had its own genealogical
society and we could all get together once a year?
In order to become a successful organization, we
need the help of many members in our day-to-day operation, development, and growth.
Let your o:f:ficers know
how you can help. We need members to serve in the
following areas:
Corresponding Secretary
Historian/Librarian
Typists
Associate &amp;litors

Membership Committee
Telephone Comrr·i ttee
Project Committee
(for Appalachian Notes)

There are other areas which need some personal direction from our members, so if you have any particular
interests let us know--we will be glad to make use of
your talents.
We want to welcome all new members and invite
all who are interested to join us.
Our hope is that
we may help in some way in your research.

Babe Fowler, President
(Mrs. Claude Fowler)

------ -- - We will be happy to furnish other societies with
a oopy of Appalachian Notes in exchange for a copy of'
their publication. Send your request and a copy of' your
publica tion to the editor, Miss Mary Maier, 2609 Hillcrest

PHLUGER

PHLEGAR

by
Luceile Phlega r Stover
Genealogy started, of course, with Adam and Eve
and we all are aware from the time of our childhood
that we have our parents and grandparents. However,
as we get into young adulthood our lives are so busy
that we have very little time to delve into the
"whence came I" until either middle-age or older.
This should not be so. We need to start this project
when young while the middle and elder generations are
still around to answer any questions and to fill in
the gaps. It is a most fascinating ~:. accomplishment.
Our family name has evolved over the years from
"Phli'.lger" of German descent to the present "Phlegar"
(for the most part) a Our ancestors who came to this
English speaking country had a difficult :t)_me spelling
the name as English soundso The German "U" is pronounced "E" in ,English. Thus, we have many different
spellings: Phl~ger, Pflieger, Pflueger, Fliger, Flagar,
Flieger, Pfliegar , Phliger, and, no doubt, many other
variations.
ii

The ~hlugers were not one of the first families to
come to this country , but the early 1730 1 s is not late
either .
Our progenito rs, Hans .Jerg Phli!ger, }iis son Hans
.Jerg, and his son Hans Jerg (John Georg e) Frederic
lived in the Palatinate (puh-LAT -uh~ na yt) section of
Germany, a rich farmland near the Black For est and
Switzerland on the mighty Rhine Rivero Life was good
and they were comfortably situated~ but the political
and religious climate was becoming c ri tical. Million s
of the inhabitants of this vast farm region were having
their farrr.s burned, their orchards uprooted and leveled ,
and they were being driven as paupers from thei r homes
and livelihoods .
The grandson d ecided to follow othe r ~ of his countrymen to America while he could still salvag e seeds, implements, clothing , and their lives . He , his wife, and their
children made their way to Rotterdam and sailed on the
ship "Samuel" to Cowes, England. From the re they set
sail on the l ong journey across the Atlantico One small
daughter died of disease on the high seaso There were
thi~ty-eight families on the "Samuel" ( l e ss than 15'0 peo ple)
and many of them were ill. They had to bring the food and

�- it other supplies with them that they expecte d to ne ed on
board ship. They landed at the port of Philadel p hia in
August, 1731. George Frederic Phluger, as wel l as the
other family heads, had to sign a declaration of his
peaceful intentions and allegiance to this new land
llrefore he was allowed to set foot on it's soil.
Immediately he obtained land in what is now York
County, Pennsylvania and began to build his holdings
again. More children were born here. Among them was
another George Fredrick Phlieger (note spelling) in
1735'. This george Fredrick grew up and married Anna Maris.
Margaret (Trout) and served in the Revolution when in his
forties. He is listed in the Pennsylvania Archives as a
private in Captain Long's Company from York County as
being between 18 and 53 years of age and fit for duty•
In all, he and his wife had eight children.
Three of his sons, Abraham, John George Frederick,
and Michael, left York County as young family men to
settle in Frederick County, Virginia in the 1790' s •
Some of their land was bought from Jost Hite.
Between
1802 and 1804 these same three gradually sold their
property in the Middletown area and bought ad joining
farms in Montgomery County (later Floyd) •
They bought
some of their land from Col. Andrew Lewis.
John George Frederick and Abraham had married sisters,
Maria Magdolina and Margaret Gutekunst re spec ti vely (another
German family), and Michael married Eva Catherine
?
•
Fach had their families well on the way by this time.
They
got settled on their new, fine farms wher.e there was plenty
of room for grain fields, orchards and vegetables.
The
Germans who came to Pennsylvania h~d the reputation of
knowing good land when they saw it (they chose the best)
and of taking better care of their livestock than other
nationalities. They had the warmest cleanest homes' and
they were by far the best cooks.
'
They gave the land for the Floyd County Court House
when Floyd was formed from Montg .' Jmery County in 1814.
They
retained their lands until early in the twentieth century.
They were pious people. They were charter members,
deacons, and elders of the Zion Lutheri:tn Church, their :forbearers having embraced this religion centuries before to
follow the teachings of Martin Luther in the old country.
Even today, many of th.e great-great-great-great grandchildren

�5
are musically talented and are church soloists, organists,
elders~ and deacons in their locales.
They are still a
very religious family with preachers and missionaries
among their numbers.
Several of the grandchildren served in the Civil
War .
Some were wounded, some taken prisoners, and one
died in campo
All had good educations and some were educators :
Dr. Mary Phlegar Smith, Hollins College; Frederick Lee
Phlegar, Radford College; and Archie Gutherie Phlegar ,
VPI.
Some were lawyers:
Henry Phlegar; Archer Phlegar
and his son, the most notable Judge Archer B . Phlegar of
Christiansburg. Judge Phlegar was also in the State
Senate and a lawyer fdr the Norfolk and Western Railway.
Some were doctors, such as Dr. D. s. Phlegar, Blacksburg,
Virginia.
The Phlegars of Floyd, Montgomery, Giles, and Roanoke
Counties may claim an auspicious and noble contribution to
the early settlement of our country.

-------SEARCHING SUGGESTIONS
Use a tape recorder to take down records. This
takes less time than writing and you are able to record
more data. Be sure to spell out all names.
Let the
tape roll a few feet before recording . (BWF)

A card file is helpful. Make cards on all members
of the families you are researching and keep in alphabetical order. Female members should be listed under
their maiden as well as tLeir married names . (GG)

NOTE: Please send your sug gestjons to aid searching so
they may be published and help others with their
research ..

by
Helen Moulse
John Huff, a soldier in the Revolutionary War,
was born about 1763 near "Huff's Church" in Pi ttsylvania County, Virginia, probably in that portion which
oocame Frarldin County in 1786. He spent most of his
life in the vicinity of Turner 1 s Creek and P:1gg River
in Franklin County at the foot of the eastern slope of
the Blue Ridge Mountains. The names of his parents
have not been determined.
According to tradition, John Huff's parents came to
the New World about 1749 from the Palatinate section of
Germany. They embarked from the Port of Rott erdarn in
Holland and landed in Philadelphia harbor.
On arrival
in the United States, they settled in Berks County,
Pennsylvania. They later came to Virginia with other
Pennsylvania German families, the Heckmans, Gearhearts,
Sniders, Snuffers, and others.
When John Huff was about 18 years old, he enlisted
at Henry County, Virginia Courthouse . in Captain Thomas
Henderson's Company and served six months as a pr:1vate.
His only major mili~ary engagement appears to bave been
at the siege of Ninty-S-ix, a British fort in Western
South Carolina.
On his way home he enlisted and served for one and
a half months in Captain John Renfro 1 8 Company in pursuit
Of Tories. He then volunteered again in Henry com;ty'
serving another month and a half in Captain Renfro s
Company. His service totaled nine months, and on July l ,
1833, he was allowed a federal pension on the basis of
this .Service.
John Huff was married three times.
His first w:1fe
was Mary Gearhart, a daughter of' Peter and Margaret
Gearhart, who lived ~n the same neighborhood as Hu:ff in
Frandin County, Virginia. This marriage took place

children:
Susanna, b orn about 1787, married Jacob Snider on
March 1, 1803 .
Peter, born a bout 1790, married Mary Gallimore on

March 18, 1821.

�- 7 Hannah, born about 1794, married John Snuffer on July 1,

on March 16, 1830, he married Mary Wade (Waide), who
died within a year. There were no children by this marriage.

�- 8 THE MOORE

SURNA~ E

IN

RUSSELL COUNTY, VIRGINIA
By
Colonel Charles A. Nicholson
The MOORE surname is found in abundance in most colonial records.
It is a
difficult name to trace because of the frequent repetit i on of all possible
Christian names used with the surname. The situa tion becomes more confused
after the American Revolution when members of num erous MOORE families be~an
migratinp: with the westward expansion of our countri es population•
Also,
the 1denti ty of the surname is complicated furthe r by. immigration of new
MOORE families and the propagation of resident families using the MOORE surname. For example, there are something like 173 MOORE heads of household
listed in the 1790 Virginia Census • Since the early days of our country,
use of the MOORE surname has steadily increased and by 1970, i t ranks number
11 among family names in use in America.2

The Rreat valley area, which runs slantwise across the Commonweal th of
Virginia, attracted more than its share of settlers during the 18th Century.
Families flowed into the valley from Ma.nland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
other areas of the northeast. Few came from Tidewater3 V1.rginia, but some
settlers from North Carolina moved into the lower reaches of the Valley. It
is interesting to note that many of the first and second generation descendants of early settlers moved on into the Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and Illinois areas in search of new lands and greater opportunity.
One area or' Southwestern Virp;inia that attracted MOORE families was Russell
County. Formed in 1786 from Washington County, Russell County contains 483
square miles. Lebanon is the County seat. Except for Will Books, 1803-1866 '
Order Books, 1786-1787 and some early Land and Personal Property Tax Lists,
all records were destroyed by fire in 1872. An early court record ( 1 786)
shows that an Andrew MOORE was qualified to practice law in Russell Countf4'•
Beginning in 1787 and continuing through 1802, there a;e land and personal
property tax lists for the Upper and Lower Districts of Russell County. Also,
these tax lists are extant for the yee.r 1810. 1'he first MOORE surname to
appear i n tax l .i sts is found in the 1793 Personal Property Ta.X List for the

1.

This c ensus was reconstructed from the Vir{l;inia Tax Lists of 1782-178.5·
The census f or Russell County shows 3143 free white persons, all ages
and 190 slaves ; however no surnames in the county are recorded.

�- 9 Upper Di stri ct . Th e listing is for an Isaac MOORE wh o i.s r ecorded again
in 1794,with the following entry 9 "Isaac MOORE assignee5 of John RUTH , 180
ar.res." The 170 c; Land Tax List and Personal Property Tax List for the Upper
District contain s Isaac MOORE's name. His name is entered on both lists in
1796 and the Tax List shows that he owns 298 acres of land plus an additional
100 acres (new deed). The 1797 lists show Isaac MOORE; George MOORE is listed
on the Personal Property Tax List for the Upper District. There are no listings for Isaac MOORE or George MOORE in subsequent tax lists of the Upper
District.
The 1799
of Enoch
1800 Tax
addition

Personal Property Tax List for the Lower District contains the names
MOORE (1) and William MOORE (1). The same names appear again on the
List. In 1802, James MOORE (1) and Joel MOORE (1) are recorded in
to Enoch ViOORE and William MOORE.

The Lower District Tax List for 1810 contains the following entries: Enoch
MOORE (2) William MOORE (2), Isaac MOORE (1) 9 Joel MOORE (1) and Sampson
MOORE (1). The appearance of Isaac MOORE is puzzling sinc e an Isaac MOORE
was last listed on the 1797 Land Tax List for the Upper District. Perhaps
this Isaac MOORE is the son of the previous Isaac MOORE .
Federal Census Records for Russell County are available beginning in 18206.

�- 25 LAST WORD

You have come to the end of the first issue of
the quarte r ly newsletter of The Southwestern Virginia
Genealogical Society and we trust you have found it
informative, helpful, and interesting.
It is our hope
that Appalachian Notes will be a strong link of coil1.f'.lunication among members of the Society , as well as with
others who are interested in tracing family · histories,
and that every member will look on it as a means of
learning about genealogy and of helping others in their
study of genealogy.
Our newsletter will be only as
good as our members make it because it is dependent
upon your contributions. We need the help of every
member if Appalachian Notes is to succeed .
Let us ha v e
your contributions of material and your suggestions please.
This first issue has been put together by Mrs .
Babe Fowler, Mrs. Gerri Glosh, and Miss Mary Maier,
&amp;liter, and our second· issue is scheduled for publ ication
in April, 1977 (other issues in July and October) . We
hope to have a full staff by that time . The fol lowing
positions need to be filled now, so if you can serve in
one of these, please contact the editor .

The first issue of Appalachian Notes cannot be
brought to a close without acknowledging the help given
your editor by The Hugh s . Watson J r. Genealogical
Society of Tidewater Virginia, and particularly that
given by Col . Charles A. Nicholson. Their encouragement and sharing of information has helped Southwestern
