Morton Treasurer David C. Frizzell Chair, Publications R. Larry Crawford Journeys Through Jackson is the official publication of the Jackson County Genealogical Society. Members and non-members are invited to submit genealogical materials for publication, with the understanding that the editor reserves the right to edit these materials for genealogical content, clarity, or taste. The Society assumes no responsibility for errors of fact that may be contained in submissions, and except where noted the opinions expressed are not those of the editor or of the Jackson County Genealogical Society. The Society accepts no advertising for this publication except for notices for other non­profit groups. From the Editor The old saying goes that "Talk is cheap," and if that's true, then excuses must be even cheaper. So no excuses are forthcoming from the editor for the tardiness of this issue, just apologies to the membership. Our JCGS August picnic was fun and well-attended. At that gathering, Barbara Dooley was j presented with the Holden Award. See the story on the first page of this issue. Work on the cemetery book is exceeding all expectations. Bill Crawford and Mack Sutton are leading the way on this project, and we should also acknowledge the able work being accomplished by Sharon Carnes, Sandie Massingale, Harry Bumgarner, Dorris Beck, and Helen Vance, among others. We hope this book will be close to reality by Christmas. Speaking of reality, keep your fingers crossed that the Society will be able to rent space in the Ferguson Building in downtown Sylva. Our lack of a home has been a continuing frustration, but we continue to "make do" with members' storage closets, extra rooms, attics, etc. In this issue, we concentrate almost completely on several 19th century Jackson County families. Read Thomas W. Johnson's research on the Turpins, the first of many chapters from Betty Cope Andrews on her Monteith line; more of Marty Grant's Cathey connections; and a revision of the Suttons from Mack Sutton and Clara Stern. We also offer the 1928 Death Certificates fro Jackson County. As Dog Days slink away into oblivion, may the new fall air invigorate our genealogical spirit. One way that your spirit can be manifest is to consider donating books, notebooks, or just vertical file items to the Society if our office does materialize.

BARBARA DOOLEY IS HONORED WITH THE HOLDEN AWARD At the August picnic held this year at the WCU picnic grounds, Barbara Dooley was honored with the presentation of the third Robert Lee and Drusilla Holden Award, presented annually as a Distinguished Service Award by the JCGS and endowed by Mary Sherrill Robinson and Nancy Sherrill Wilson. Barbara Dooley is no stranger to those who follow the activities of the Society. She serves currently as Co-Vice President of JCGS, and in that office has been instrumental in bringing many knowledgeable and entertaining speakers our way. Barbara was the editor of the 1860 Census book for Jackson County Historical Association, a major contribution to those studying genealogy in our county. She* h a s traveled internationally to do her research, and'has shared that research with genealogical'societies, Internet contactees, and with the members of our local Society. She is married to James Dooley, retired Vice Chancellor for University Services at WCU, and they are parents of two, grandparents of three. An accomplished pianist, Barbara with her husband James founded the Western Carolina Community Chorus. They are also very active in the Cullowhee Baptist Church. They reside at East LaPorte. 85 DID YOU KNOW? That JCGS members Louise Edwards, Frances Hyatt, Regenia Fisher, and Irene McClure are featured in a book of essays prepared by the Jackson County Extension Homemakers Association in cooperation with the WCU University Writing Center? Entitled Memories from the Hearth and Home:Collected Essays, the softbound book is a collection of reminiscences"from fifteen Jackson County women. Louise Edwards wrote of Professor Robert Lee Madison and his profound influence on her family; Frances Hyatt's essay was centered on her teaching days at Big Cove; Regenia Fisher wrote of "Living in the Country"; and Irene McClure shared her memories of family and education. Congratulations to these outstanding women for their accomplishments. The book is delightful. FURTHERMORE, DID YOU KNOW? ...never to store anything in a basement because of mold? ...never use plastic to store ANYTHING? ...to stay away from PVC notebooks to collect your materials? ...never to laminate ANYTHING? ...to use plain steel shelving, rather than wood, because of acids? ...never to store quilts in plastic bags? ...never to write on the backs of photographs? ...never to use magnetic-page photo albums? ...video tapes have a 7-year life under optimum conditions? ...hair can be kept in Glad bags (PVC free) ...if you won't put it in your mouth, don't put it on a grave stone? (In other words, use water.) . [Ed. The above pearls of wisdom are from our informative June speaker, Billie McNamara, who had dozens of do's and don'ts for genealogists concerning archival preservation.] THE THOMAS W. JOHNSON RESPONSE TO THE TURPIN BOX [Ed. When the "Turpin Box" article ran in JTJ in January-February, it elicited the following letter and documentation on the Turpin family. Our thanks to JCGS member Thomas W. Johnson of Salt Lake City, who gave us permission to print his Turpin notes. On this page are condensed statements from the letter.] "I have been working on this family for some time...My second great-grandmother was Sarah Jane Turpin, daughter of James H. Turpin and Jane "Jenny" Messer...Previously I had proven that James H. Turpin and his brothers Elias and Allen were originally from Franklin Co., GA (I didn't know about William)...I have located William Turpin in Shelby Co., TX in 1850 and 1860... Josiah Nations calling James H. Turpin "uncle" is also interesting...I have enclosed some of my information on the Turpin family...This is not all that I have but deals mainly with James H. Turpin and his three wives." Continued Next Page 86 CHRONOLOGY OF THE JAMES H.

The following impressions are shared by new JCGS members Grant and Phyllis Cochran, who recently made their first visit to Jackson County.] Phyllis: Before I retired, my j o b took me to Salt Lake City several times a year. A friend there introduced me to the Genealogy Library maintained by the Mormon Church. I was successful in finding several of my ancestors and told Grant I would try to help him do the same. The only information I had was North Carolina and Cockerham. By using a surname search, I found many reference books, but chose the JACKSON COUNTY HERITAGE BOOK because of the number of articles about Cockerham/Cochran, and copied 5 pages. What a wonderful surprise for Grant when he found Jesse Cochran and Laura Belle in Ruth Shuler's article. After trying a book store inPortland, OR, a publisher and a distributor, I was given Ruth's number and realized from her article that she i s a cousin. The surprise, got better when I called her and put Grant on the line. This was when we found that Roy is also a cousin. It got even better when Ruth and Roy planned to visit us that July (1996) in Washington. It was during their visit that we made plans to travel to North Carolina to meet a "few" cousins in late May, 1997: Grant: Ruth said she would find me some cousins: I thought maybe she meant as many as half a dozen or a few more at most." Lord have mercy, everywhere we went, I was introduced to an ever-expanding lineage from John Burch and Delphia Cockerham, who were the parents of my grandfather Jesse Burch. This wonderful horde of people included three second cousins, Delsie Cabe, Bessie Cabe, and ^•^ Warren G. Cochran. All the rest were one, two, or three times removed, but j u s t as important nonetheless. Of this latter group, Roy and Ruth Shuler, and Ruth's brother, Larry Crawford, were extra special in that they made the utmost effort to see that I had the opportunity'tb meet as many relatives as possible. Attending the Thomas Worth Cochran reunion on June 1 was an event I shall always treasure: people were so friendly and open and treated me like a hero returning home. One of the days Ruth took us up Nations Creek and we met Hubert Bumgarner, who is another second cousin, grandson of Charity Palestine Cockerham Nations, and whp is living on the old homestead. The log house is one of the oldest in the county. Hubert said he had to buy the house back because in the past, it had been traded for a still. Hubert, like the rest of our older cousins, has a very large, well-tended garden. Everyone grows an abundance of potatoes. When we drove up, he was on his front porch mending his fishing line, and later told Roy and me h ow to make fish bait out of light bread. First you cut off the crust, let the bread dry for three or four days, crumble it and then add enough water to form balls which would be pressed onto the hook. The seventh of June, Roy and Ruth had a reunion at their beautiful home in Cullowhee so that I again would have the pleasure of meeting more cousins. I believe in this last group, of which there were 32, only five were unrelated. What an evening, what a delightful bunch of caring wonderful people. During the two weeks we were there, our days were spent visiting relatives who had not attended either L , reunion, touring cemeteries and taking pictures of relatives' gravestones, looking up records at the new 93 Justice Center, comparing notes of our respective genealogy tracings, or sightseeing the branches, hills, and mountains. Y'all sure do know how to make people feel welcome! The kindness and sincerity we experienced in North Carolina were not found only among relatives, but in the general population as well, whether they were store clerks, law enforcement, educators, or just plain folks. The West coast has nice people, don't get me wrong, but I think they have a way to go to equal what we observed in North Carolina. At the beginning, as we would go to bed, I would tell Phyllis that every day was outdoing the previous day in some manner. Each new day was better than the prior one until I worried that we were due for a ho-hum day. If you can believe it, each of the days for the two weeks was better than the day before! Truly, I believe we were blessed, and God's will manifested itself in many ways right from the beginning when Phyllis first found the Jackson County book in Salt Lake City. Combining a phone call, received by Ruth from a stranger in Oklahoma, research of old land deeds, and collaboration of information from Larry involving an 1880 census, we were able to trace my grandmother Laura Belle's lineage. Larry drove us and Ruth three and a half hours in a driving rain storm to Ringgold, Georgia to meet Austine Goodlet, who is another second cousin, and her daughter Ann Martin. Austine is the granddaughter of Coleman Wilson who was Laura Belle's brother. Laura Belle and Coleman were the children of Algerine Wilson, son of Brunetta and Manson Wilson. Brunetta was the oldest sister of my grandfather Jesse Burch. I am proud to say now that I am a "double dipper." I told you that every day was better than the last! From knowing only that my father's parents were from Western North Carolina and the Cockerham name, and feeling like a leaf blowing in the wind, I have come full circle and have deep and healthy roots and only hope I measure up to the kin I have met. For someone who is interested in genealogy, no one could have been more successful over a two-week period than we were. As I said before, luck had nothing to do with it; God was leading the way and we were fortunate enough to follow His lead. We look forward to returning to Cullowhee in 1999 to visit all of you and get better acquainted. And maybe even to meet more cousins! Phyllis hopes to have the "memory" quilt done with all the signatures she collected. Until then, we would love to hear from you.

Vie now believe that. John Sutton, Sr., came from" Ehgland via the ship, Favourite. In the book, "Emigrants from England to the American Colonies - 1773-1776" by Peter Wilson Caldham, there is a John Sutton, shoemaker, age 43, as a passenger. Port Whitehave to New York. "All of Yorkshire to follow their callings. ' Mr. Thomas Fisher." The age, date and calling fit the John Sutton of which we write. There is a strong possibility that John Sutton, Sr., was married three times. Once in England, then in Virginia and then to Aggie Lossiah. We have no documentation of a marriage in England, but there is prima .facie evidence that John had these children born in Virginia: William, born 1785; John, born between 1785 and 1790; James, born 1785-1790; Anderson, born 1790. It has been reported that John fought two years in the Revolutionary War. If so, his name could appear on the roll in Virginia. He came into Virginia, married an Indian (hearsay) and lived there until around 1800. Then he moved to Tennessee. At the age of 70 yrs. John, Sr., married another Indian, Aggie Lossiah, age 19 yrs- in 1802; was married in Tennessee, but the county is unknown. John and Aggie had two children: one male, born in 1812 in Tennessee; one female, Lucena (Lucy) who married Silas Green. Around 1820, the US government made a treaty with the Indians for land south of t,he Tuckaseegee and Tennessee Rivers. John got -a land grant on Savannah Creek, now known as Sutton Branch Road. Legend has it that John was a tall man; rode a big mule and made whiskey, which he sold to the Indians for land. A story of John's death has been repeated many times but is now embellished as follows: Ih 1832, John and some men on Sutton Branch were talking concerning a fox dog, which John wanted to buy. He offered one. price but the owner of the dog was asking more. The owner then said, if you can jump over that horse flat-footed/ you can have the dog at your price. John backed up; took two steps, and jumped over the horse flat-footed. When he hit the ground, he was dead; his neck was broken. 109 Ky John is buried in Old Savannah Cemetery, Jackson County^ He had given land for the first church building and cemetery. In 1985, Old Savannah Baptist church member­ship had a marker erected at the site of John Sutton's grave. JOHN SUTTON, SR., CHILDREN I. William Sutton, Sr. born in Virginia in 1785.
