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 mat 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 non-profit groups. From the Editor We hope and trust that the JCGS membership does not get tired of our constantly blowing our own horns. This organization continues to grow at incredible rates, for several reasons. Consider, for example, that work is already under way on the proofing of the new Heritage volume, and we continue to look for a late November delivery. At the last meeting, we gave the go-ahead to explore the possibility of still another reprint of Volume 1, since over one hundred requests have been received by the Society. If you are interested in that purchase, please notify the Society. Another reason for our growth is that the Society office is a warm, friendly place, where we would hope that each individual can expect to be treated with dignity and courtesy. The "regulars" are always dropping in, and our small (but impressive) library holdings offer something for many different interests and styles of doing genealogy. The conversation is relaxed, and we hope that all persons are able to feel at home. The third reason for our success is the spirit of generosity so evident in our members. In this issue alone, we have materials contributed in one way or another from fourteen different individuals, all but three of them JCGS members. Enjoy the variety of this issue, and we will see you at the picnic in August. y V i s i t u s a t o u r w e b s i t e : h t t p : / / w w w . m a i n . n c . u s / j c g s / y / T Journeys Through Jackson July-August 2000 C T a b l e o f C o n t e n t s Announcements a n d C o r r e c t i o n . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

EUender ("EUa") Blanton Shuler granted the editor an interview when she was 103, and still had five more years. She became somewhat of a local celebrity in both Swain and Jackson counties. Some of the dates and names above were taken from a booklet compUed by Eugene McGinnis and given to the Society. No lineal descendant of "Mark" is a member of the Society, but Eugene, one of our life members, is married to Hilda Buchanan, one of Vilanta's daughters. The oldest three of these-children Uved mostly in Swain County, Fannie and Roy in KnoxvUle, Maggie in Haywood County, Dock and Vilanta in the Webster area, Jess at QuaUa. Final Notes on the Riley Blanton Family: In no way should this delineation be considered complete, and undoubtedly, some errors have made their way into this account. Corrections are welcome (see the first page of this issue). Sarah and Susanna were married to Hoyle relatives, \y and the wives of WUl and Mark were first cousins on the Parris side.

This one was a surprise. JCGS. Co-Vice President Sharon Barger Carnes copied the following from United States government official documents at Western Carolina University. We' can see that for some persons, this would be a genealogical windfall, and for others, a fascinating glimpse into part of history that, quite frankly, most white people choose to ignore until someone decides to claim Native American ancestry. But political opinions aside, we were surprised to learn about the local contingent of Catawbas. Always time to learn something new.] Senate 54th Congress 2d Session Document No. 144 The Catawba Tribe of Indians February 23,1897 - Ordered to be printed as Senate document for use of Committee on Indian Affairs Mr. Pettigrew presented the foUowing Memorial On Behalf of the Individuals formerly comprising and belonging to the Catawba Tribe of Indians, and accompanying papers. [Ed. FoUowing are formal letters of receipt of the documents. We omit these for space considerations, and because they lack genealogical significance.] In the Indian appropriation act approved July 29,1848 (9 Stat. L. 264), appears the foUowing: "Catawha Indians*- For the removal of the Catawba tribe of Indians now in the limits of the state of North Carolina to the Indian country west of the Mississippi, with the consent of said tribe, under the direction of die President of the United States, a sum not exceeding five thousand doUars: Provided, No portion of this sum shaU be expended for the purpose of removing said Indians until the President shaU first obtain a home for them among some of the tribes west of the Mississippi River, with their consent, and without any charge upon the Government." In a letter dated November 13-, 1848, John C. Mullay, a clerk in this office, forwarded a letter, dated October 6,1848, from one George T. Mason, inclosing at request of the chief of the Catawbas, a memorial of said tribe of Indians at QuaUatown, Haywood County, N . C , dated October 4,1848, on file in this office (Misc. M . , 280) addressed to the President, signed by WUUam Morrison, chief, and the foUowing heads of each Catawba family, viz: PhUip Kegg, Lewis Stevens, John Heart, John Scott, Franklin Kenty, Antony George, David Harris, Thomas Stevens, John Harris, Jesse Harris, Nancy George, SaUy Harris, PoUy Readhead, Patsey George, Harriet Stevens, Betsy Heart, Cynthia Kegg, Patsey George, Jr., Mary Ayres, Margaret Ayres, Betsy Ayres, Susan Kegg, Eliza Kanty, Franky Brown, Jinny Joe, Jinny Ayres, Rachael Brown, Easther Scott, Kary Joe, SaUy Readhead, WUUam George, Peggy Kanty, Rosa Ayres, Becky George, PoUysHanis, EUzabeth Brown, Potty Harris, Mary Joe, AUen Harris, Mary Harris,and James Kegg, comprising 42 persons, aU of whom signed by mark, in die presence of Abram Setters, George T. Mason, and John S. Gibson, requesting the appointment of a reliable and trustworthy business man to superintend their removal west.. In transmitting said memorial Mr. MuUay speaks of him, after several personal interviews held with said chief, as an inteUigent, respectable Catawba, and of the preference of his people to 115 Ky Journeys Through Jackson July - August 2000 a home with the Chickasaw Indians West, who, he stated, had at one time given the Catawbas an invitation to settle among them. In the annual report of this office for the year 1849 (Doc. 5, p.949), it is stated that - "The Department has not yet succeeded in finding a suitable home west of the Mississippi for the Catawba Indians residing in North Carolina. They prefer a residence among the Chickasaws, to whom application was made to receive them, but to which there has been no final answer. Proper efforts wiU be made to carry out, next season, if practicable, the law of July 29,1848, providing for their removal." Agent A.M.M. Upshaw was instructed, November 6,1848 (Chickasaw letter book C, p. 32), to ascertain whether or not the Chickasaw nation would receive the Catawbas on the terms prescribed by the law. In said instructions it was intimated that the Department knew very Uttle of the Catawbas, nothing of their origin or of their language and customs, or how they got from their home in South Carolina to Haywood County, in North Carolina. They were beUeved, however, to be a quiet and weU - disposed people, numbering in aU about 80 souls.From their location and supposed former alliances with the Cherokees, the impression was entertained that they would prefer a residence with the Cherokees, and steps were taken to ascertain whether or not they would receive the Catawbas on the terms prescribed. Information was subsequentiy obtained that they would probably object to going to the Cherokees, and expressed a preference to take homes with the Chickasaws. Agent Upshaw responded, on the 8th of January, 1849, that the Chickasaws would probably receive the Catawbas, but that their council must first act on the subject. (ChickasawU. 55) It does not appear, however, that the Chickasaw councU ever took action on the case. KJ Subsequently, it appears that the Choctaw councU passed an act entitled "An act naturaUzing certain persons therein," which was approved November 3,1853 (Choctaw Laws, 1869, p. 124, as foUows, viz: "Sec. 11. Be it enacted by the general council of the Choctaw Nation assembled, That WUUam Morrison, Thomas Morrison, Sarah Jane Morrison, Molly Redhead, Betsy Heart, Rebecca Heart, PbiUip Keggo, and infant chUd of Phttip Keggo, Rosy Ayres, Betsey Ayres, JuUan Ayres, Mary Ayres, Soponia Ayres, and SaUy Ayres be, and they are hereby declared naturalized citizens of the Choctaw nation, invested with all the rights, privileges, and immunities of naturalized citizens of the same." Although there is nothing in'die act to show the nationaUty of these persons you will see, by a comparison of the names attached to the aforementioned memorial of the Catawbas, that they are die same persons. [Ed. We omit the next page.] No action appears to have been taken by the Government or any of the Indians on the question of-their removal to the Choctaw or other Indian country until 1872, when Hon. J.C. Harper, of the House of Representatives, from Georgia, brought to the attention of this office the question of the removal of certain Indians in North Carolina and Georgia. Presuming that they were Cherokees, this office requested him on the 13th of June, 1872, to furnish a Ust of the names and ages of said Indians. In reportingihe names, Mr. Joseph McDoweU, of Fairmount, Ga., Ky 116 Journeys Through Jackson July-August 2000 O under date of October, 1872 (Misc.

After carefully reading this document, one' should be able .to identify with certainty the sons and daughters of Cullowhee John Bryson, at least those who had heirs themselves. When Andrew Bryson died in February of 1884, his property went to his wife, the former Sarah Rogers, who men followed him in death in September 1884. They had no children, and their property devolved to his brothers and sisters or their heirs. A small argument that is put to rest by this document is whether Thomas 7. Bryson was one of the sons of John'. It appears that he was not a brother to the others. Some researchers have always said that ThomisJ.

With no response from the defendants, the court ordered the lands be sold by A. J. Long, who did so 20 Apr 1885. WA. Enloe bought the home lands for $825, David Rogers bought the creek lands for $500, then On 21 Apr, J.D. Buchanan bought the Hamburg lands for $179. On 20 May, Long was ordered to make deeds to the purchasers above.] Final note: Over and above the obvious genealogical importance of this document, we are fascinated by the details of the case. Most of the defendants lived in Towns County or Union County, Georgia, just over the line. Henderson Bryson had at least 14 chUdren living in 1885, most of those in Jackson County, bat only about half of them legitimate. What were the legal rights of bis illegitimate children, if any? We have read that some of the heirs of Coleman lived in Texas. Can anyone substantiate this? And finally, take another look at the prices the land brought The 40 acres of "creek" - thus arable - land brought a fair sum for its day. But imagine 276 acres in Hamburg township for S179! Wonder what 276 acres would cost today in the southern end of oar county? Could it go for 2.76 million?

Ky 124 Journeys Through Jackson July-August 2000 A P r o f i l e o f t h e O c o n a l u f t y V a U e y : S e t t l e m e n t to P r e s e r v a t i o n [Ed. We continue in this issue with the work of Trad Henderson Clark] Ky Churches of, the Early Settlers The Oconalufty valley setders appeared to have had regular monthly meetings as early as June, 1810. These meetings occurred near the forks of the Oconalufty River near Mingus Creek; this seems to have been the center of the community.24 On July 26, 1828, a United or Missionary Baptist Church was formed by a presbytery of three men - Humphrey Posey, Adam Com, and Stephen White - and given the name of Mount Zion Baptist Church. This church was located in Yellow Hill, present day Cherokee, North Carolina. Three pastors served this church: Rev. Adam Corn,, 1828 - 1832; Rev. Stephen White, 1828 -1834; and Rev. George Colon, 1834 - 3 6 .M In 1836, the members of Mount Zion decided to split due to the poor traveling conditions and the distance the elderly and infirm members had to travel. In April of 1836, Mount Zion split and became Shoal Creek Baptist Church and Ocona Lufty Baptist Church. Shoal Creek retained the records and keys of the original church The original Shoal Creek Church was located on the property of Albert Keener, presumably where the entrance of Camp Creek Road, approximately five miles north of Cherokee, is now located. That building bumed'on October 19, 1874, taking with it the records of the Mount Zion Churqh as well as the records of Shoal Creek Church since 1836. In September, 1875, Sarah Jane Thomas, wife of William Holland Thomas, donated a tract of land known as the Jerry Field for the new church building. Since that time three different buildings have been erected on this property. The present church was built between 1954 and 1956. The first service was conducted on January 29,1956, by Rev. O J . Beck.26 ii On June 6, 1836, a meeting.was held in the home of Dr. John Mingus to .organize the Ocona Lufty Baptist Church. There were twenty -r one charter members.27 It was decided that until a permanent church, building could ,be constructed, the monthly prayer meetings and -businessmeetings would be alternately conducted at the homes of Samuel Conner, on West Fork, and "Dr. John, Mingus, on Bradley Fork. These two places were to be called the United Baptist Church of Lufty; they were not identified by the hosts' names.28 According to Tom Robbins' research, the first church building was built five years later at Smokemont on land donated by John Beck. The building was a hewn log structure with a stone chimney and had a puncheon (split log) floor. It was located approximately 50 yards below the present church near die end of the present bridge. Eventually, a second log church was built in a flat area between the river and the present church that stands on the hill above the road to the Smokemont Campground. This structure served the people until 1912, when a frame church was constructed to meet the needs of the growing congregation. The name .of the church was changed to Smokemont Baptist Church at this time. This frame building was used until some time in 1935.29 The church was officially disbanded in 1939.30 The only other reference to churches in the Oconalufty valley, was in connection with Rafe Hughes. He supposedly donated land near his home on Raven Fork upon which was to be constructed a long building to serve as a Methodist Church and a school.31 However, given the 125 Journeys Through Jackson July - August 2000 large area of the. Oconalufty valley and the lack of different denominations found so far, it is probable that further investigation will uncover other churches established during this time , period. ' Schools of the Early Settlers Unlike the churches, there is little information on the schools of the early settlers. There was a school housed in the Ocona Lufty Church; this particular school was later moved into a separate building and became known as Smokemont School.31 The land Rafe Hughes donated for a Methodist Church was also to house a school.33 It is supposed that this is the origin of Ravensford School. Other than these two specific places, information on schools has not yet been found. Economy Agriculture The true pioneer era of the Oconalufty valley was over by the end of the 1830's.34 And while it is important to remember the history of the early settlers and their contributions, the character of the valley during the 1910's should be clarified. Sources indicate that the economy had risen above that of subsistence agriculture well before the turn of the century. The 1850 Agriculture Schedule showed that Samuel Beck of the Oconalufty -Township cultivated 50 of 90 acres that he owned. He reported producing 14 bushels of rye, 10 bushels of oats, 6 bushels of wheat, 300 bushels of com, and 50 pounds of tobacco. He owned 4 horses, 6 cows, 18 sheep, and 12 hogs. For the same period, Wesley Enloe, fanning 200 of 500 acres, produced 50 bushels of rye, 25 bushels of wheat, and 800 bushels of corn. Enloe's livestock included 8 horses, 12 milk ^y cows, 24 beef cows, 2 oxen, 15 sheep, and 60 hogs.35 While a few farmers were more prosperous than Enloe, and' some less prosperous than Beck, most appeared to have been economically between the two.36 The 1910 Agricultural Schedule for Swain County indicated the presence of 959 privately owned farms and 420 tenant farms.37 At least thirty - four families Usted on the 1910 Census were also included on the 1929 - 30 Grossman Survey or the Land Acquisition - Land Ownership list.38 Of those thirty - four families, twenty - three owned their farms, seven rented their farms, and one farm was mortgaged. Of the remaining three homes, one was owned and two were rented. The 1910 Census listed "farmer" as the occupation of twenty - seven heads of households. Another was listed as farm labor. Of the remaining six occupations, four were sawmill laborers; one, a blacksmith; and one, a miller.39 Businesses At least two grist mills remained in 'operation: one was located at Mingus Creek, operated by John Jones, and the second was operated by Aden Carver on Bradley Fork near Smokemont.40 The Grossman Survey also indicated the presence of three stores in the Oconalufty Valley. These were owned by R.L. Burgin, J.S. Conner, and George Beck. Burgin's store was located in the "town" of Ravensford, while Conner and Beck each owned and operated a store and service station near the "town" of Smokemont.41 Burgin and Beck's stores also served as post offices for the two towns. At least five other post offices were located throughout the valley, including Swayney in Big Cove, Wahhiyah at the mouth of Galimore Creek, and Stoney at the home of Rafe Hughes, later the home of Taylor Gass.42 ^y 126 Ky Ky Journeys Through Jackson July - August 2000 According to an interview withXjeorgetBeck, there was usually only one blacksmith for the entire Lufty valley. Beck's father had a blacksmith shop which served as the repair center for his community; George Beck's uncle "...Uved in Tennessee [and] he come over in th' spring of the year an' stayed, whatever time it took to fix up-his tools.. ,"43 Logging In addition to farm land, the Oconalufty valley contained rich timber resources. There were two periods of logging in the Great Smoky Mountains, and more specifically in the 'Oconalufty vaUey and the surrounding mountains. The early period of logging was managed and run by the local people and financed by local capital. These logging operations selectively cut the most valuable timber, namely poplar, cherry, and ash. These loggers occasionally went deep into the forest, but they stayed close to areas reached by mule or oxen teams and close to streams in order to transport the logs down to portable sawmills. A descendant of one forest entrepreneur reported, "Some of th' natives had sawmills, not every one, but you could cut your own timber and haul it into the mill 'n' your neighbors 'd saw it for you."44 In this early stage the tempo of logging was slow and the forests could reproduce naturally, at their normal rate.45 The increased demand for lumber and paper in the early 1900's led to the development of commercial logging companies with outside./ capital and management. This later period of logging was characterized by large - scale lumber mills with railroads to bring the logs down from the mountains to the mills in the valley. The use of modern, logging equipment made it possible to cut all saleable timber within the-company's holdings. This timber was used not only for lumber and bark, but in the new pulp and chemical industries. Therefore, only the least desireable timber was left. This, coupled with the outbreak of fires started by the machinery used to cut and haul the timber, meant that the forests were not replacing themselves.46 Richard Frome estimated that during the latter period of logging, 85 percent of the land now contained within the park was exploited in this manner.47 Most of the loggers, train engineers, and other personnel that worked for the logging companies were from the local areas. Many of the loggers also had farms and might work on three or four different sections within the company's holdings during the year. Most of the companies did provide Uving quarters at the sites which were actively being logged. The provision of lodging and meals was usually provided in addition to wages. In the early 1900's, a logger's wage was around 65 cents a day; in the later years a logger could earn as much as a doUar a day. The companies usually owned or leased a commissary near the twill where their workers could buy needed suppUes. Many communities sprang up around the mills operated within what is now the park. The famiUes of the millhands and the managers/supervisors Uved in these villages. Smokemont and Ravensford were two economic communities that thrived during this era of logging.48 Smokemont Community One of the earliest logging companies to enter the Smokies of North Carolina was the 3M Company in 1900. The original mill was at Beech Flats, but it was later moved to the area now known-as Smokemont The 3M Company eventually logged about 7,000 acres of land located below the 3,500 feet elevation. Sometime between 1900 and 1917, these holdings were purchased by the Southern Spruce Company, which used the mill at Smokemont to cut timber. The lumber was then hauled to Whittier by wagon where it was loaded on to the Southern Railway and shipped out In 1917, die Southern Spruce Company sold some 10,000 acres of land to the Champion Fibre Company.50 127 Journeys Through Jackson July - August 2000 The Champion Fibre Company first came to western North Carolina in early 1900. They began operating a mill in Canton in 1905. After purchasing the land from the Southern Spruce j Company in 1917, they built a standard gauge railroad that ran from Ravensford to Smokemont, a distance of approximately four miles.51' Around this same time in 1918, Champion bought a mill in Waynesville, North Carolina. This mill was moved to Smokemont and set up on land leased from W.E. Queen. This land was leased with the understanding that the company would remove the mill when it finished cutting timber. The mill began operating in 1918.52 About one - fourth of a mile below the mill was the area known as Smokemont. With the exception of a store that was used as a company commissary, and several adjoining sheds, Champion built three nice dwellings, five more cheaply built dwellings, and an engine shed. Champion also built other structures in which some employees Uved. These were constructed on leased land with the provision that these structures would be removed at the desire of the landowners. Because the lands were not owned, the company did not put up buildings of great value. In some cases boxcars were used as "mobile homes." The nature of the buildings and the fact that the lands upon which the mill and housing were leased, not owned, indicated the beUef that Smokemont was only a temporary location for the Champion operations in the Smokies. The Smokemont Community had a commissary, post office, school, church, hotel, boarding house, and several residence's. The mill area itself included the sawmill building, boiler house, engine house, sorting shed, machine shop, dry kiln, and planing mill. The population reached approximately 1,000 people at the peak of the company's operation. During the mid-1920's the mill was leased to the Badgett and Latham Lumber Company. When that company finished their operation in August of 1928, die mill was not used again. Notes KJ 24. Robbins Introduction, p. 1S 25.
