Roles Chair, Publications (Editor) 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 non-profit groups. From the Editor In this pubUcation, perhaps unique in this spring of 2003, not one opinion will be expressed about the war in Iraq. Enough already. We hope that not too many folks have jumped the gun on the unseasonably early spring, but we do ""* understand the need to be digging in the dirt. This may have been a banner year for all of the blooming trees, y but we suspect that Jack Frost still has us in his sights. If you can't be outside digging, then by all means cultivate this issue of your publication. Ruth Shuler, as always, has her outstanding submissions for you to peruse, and the pictures submitted by Rick FrizzeU are outstanding. We continue with the wonderful George FrizzeU interview, and we bring in more FuUbrights, thanks to the Danny Jones work. You are in for a treat with the lists of 1840's-1850's-era schoolchildren, and we begin a new "Grandchildren" series in this issue. (Since it is the editor's own work, we have skipped the bylines there.) As much as we enjoy working with this publication, we are sometimes brought to earth with the manifestation of errors pointed out by readers. See our reprints from the State Library of North Carolina in this and future issues for the corrections of these most recent egregious mistakes. We especiaUy like the idea of posting family reunion notices on both our Web site and in these pages. We thank Deanne Gibson Roles for the idea, and we encourage members to share their own notices here. We intend to be present for every one that promises a covered-dish meal. (And we noticed in the newspaper that a Georgia legislator is proposing fines and jail terms for restaurant owners who don't serve sweet iced tea.) Now that's progress. Anytime you can laugh, it's good. Just like JTJ.

The older couple pictured in front are J. Wesley Lott and his wife Charity Cockerham Lott. The baby between them is their great-grandson Ormond Cross. In the back are their granddaughter Edna Friend Cross and their daughter Ada Lavina Friend Sprout. Charity Cockerham Lott was one of the daughters of Daniel Stewart Cockerham and his wife Celia Gibbs. Daniel Stewart Cockerham was, of course, one of the sons of William and Charity Jennings Cockerham of Jackson County, specifically of Wilmot. It was this family's apparent disappearance that led to Ruth Shuler's quest to find Daniel Stewart, a journey delineated in the September-October issue of JTJ (see "And a Wall Came Tumbling Down"). We have a newspaper obituary, probably from Franklin, Nebraska, which tells of Ada Lavina Lott being born in Des Moines 7 Apr 1862 and her death in Franklin, Nebraska 24 Mar 1923. All of the above is submitted by JCGS member Ruth Crawford Shuler from correspondence with distant cousin Jean Lott. y 38 Journeys Through Jackson March - April 2003 Ky S o m e M a c o n C o u n t y S c h o o l R e c o r d s P e r t i n e n t to J a c k s o n C o u n t y [Ed.

We continue in this issue with the interview shared by George Frizzell.] GF: How come you couldn t go on through school? Just too much work? GMo: Well, they's too much work. And my daddy, he didn't have no job to make nothing. He done well to make enough to raise the family, let alone sending us to school. I'd like to have gone on to more school, but then there just wasn't no chance back then for me to go to school. Course, your grandpa, he went to college for a while. Over at Cullowhee. He had to walk backwards and forwards. That was before we married, he went to college. I dont know how long he went, but then he went a while. I dont know what he took. Whatever they was a-going then. GF: Is there anything you can remember about holidays? GMo: We would just go to our neighbors and play. I know Uncle Bill Frizzell — where Bill Crawford lives now - we'd go up there on holidays and visit them and just play with x em just like it was Sunday or some other day. w< GF: You remember anything special about holidays, like Christmas or Thanksgiving? GMo: Well, yeah. My mother would get Aunt Dorthy Allen — hire her to come and bake cakes. And Lord, she'd make enough to do till New Year's. Be enough to last the whole week and through to the New Year's was over with. Yeah, just bake cakes. And she could bake good cakes, too. GF: What was Christmas like? GMo: Well, after I got up to where I could remember it, why we would get candy and stuff like that. Maybe little gifts. Not much of anything. When I lived over there [near Harley's], I can remember the first thing I got was a doll - a deaf doll. You know, just a doll. I t was dressed up and I thought that was the prettiest thing I ever got. The prettiest thing. Because it was the first thing I remember ever having for Christmas. Never could get nothing. No way to go to town but to go in a wagon. You'd never get there and back. GF: Did you have a tree and decorate the house up? GMo: Yeah. We'd make little old lanterns out of paper, put a handle on it [laugh] and put popcorn on it, and just make our decorations. We'd have to put up a Christmas tree.and make decorations. Put popcorn on it. Things like that. No \*s electricity. We learnt to make them little old lanterns we called "em out of paper after I went to Webster school. 57 Journeys Through Jackson March - April 2003 GF: How did you meet Grandfather? At the church box socials? GMo: Oh, you mean your grandfather? He lived out there where Paul and Helen's v_^ old house is right now. He was borned over on Long Branch. He lived up there the head of Long Branch, and they moved and settled out there. Oh, we could see each other. I lived down there on the hill where Henry and Edna lived. We'd see each other ever day. And he must have been about twelve or maybe thirteen. Anyway he wore these here knickers that buttons below your knee. He had them on and I thought he had the prettiest legs [laughs]. They shaped, you know . . . them knickers on. GF: When did you two start going together? GMo: Oh, when we was just children. We'd go over there in the old pine field and take a sliding board and we'd slide and play together. We know'd each other. Not like people gets married today [soft laugh]. GF: What kind of wedding did you have? GMo: Oh, we just had a wedding down there at my house. My grandma, she cooked the wedding supper for us. We come back up there and eat supper. GF: Did a lot of people show up? GMo: Yeah. Yeah, there was several. And then they'd come up there and eat supper. Never did take no pictures, no nothing like people does today, cause you couldn't get out and get stuff like you can today. No way to do it. GF: That house Grandfather lived in, it's not die same house Paul and Helen lived in, is it? GMo: Well, no. Grandpa built that house. But the old house, it had an upstairs in it. It had the kitchen and dining room, the living room and a big bedroom. And then had an upstairs too. Beds was upstairs. But then it come a storm and blowed the top off the house. It landed a way down in that bottom. That was when Alvin and Wilma lived out there though, after Alvin bought it. Grandpa had to rebuild it, and Paul added a lot on to it inside. GF: When did the roof blow off? GMo: We lived up here then [present home], but we just had two rooms built. Then after we went to East LeePort, then we built more on to it. 58 y v J Journeys Through Jackson March - April 2003 GF: Why did you decide to go to East Laporte? ^ GMo: Well, that was your grandpa's job. He worked up there at Blackwood Lumber. He'd walk and catch a ride, till we moved up there. Your daddy's born up there. And bid Uncle Huet Moffitt was the one who named him. He run the Blackwood when we was up there. He wanted to name him cause he had a little boy - name was George. He had the livery stable there, and kept horses and cattle and everything. And this child fell off of a horse and it killed him. He wanted to name your daddy that, so we called him George. He lived up on Caney Fork then, Uncle Huet Moffitt did. He lived up there and he'd want to take George up there and keep iiim. Aunt Mary was his first wife. Then he married Elsie. She'd want to take George up there and keep him. He wasn't broke from his diaper — you know, his panties. He'd get out on the outside and play around, and he'd wet his panties. He'd just pull * em off and leave x em a-laying in the yard [laughs]. But that just tickled them to death to get to take him up there and keep him. GF: What did Grandaddy do at Blackwood? GMo: He drove a team. He'd haul corn for the people and everything. And he'd milk at the barn and carry it up to the clubhouse. A boarding house you'd call it. . They called it the clubhouse, but it was a boarding house. Your grandpa, he'd milk w the cows and bring the milk over where we lived, and I would churn it. First I would strain him out some and take it to the clubhouse. And make butter and take it to the store and sell it. I made it good. GF: From your own cows? GMo: We didnt have no cows. That belonged to the company. They's a big store there - the company store - and I would make butter, and press it and sell it to the store. Dad'd do the milking and feeding the cows. GF: What was East LaPorte like? GMo: Oh! All that there hill was covered up in houses. Renters, you know, they was a big lumber company. Oh, it was bigger than Sylva. I tell you they was houses and they was close together. That whole mountain was covered up in houses. And then they went to building when they built the house for us over on the river. After we left it washed away. They was a Queen family that lived there. And they was a little old barn they had a way down in the bottom that they kept their cattle in - milk cows. And so they had to go down there and climb up in that little old barn, the water was so high. But it took the house away and everything they had. I'm sure glad I wasn't there. That was after we moved back here. Ky GF: While you lived at East LaPorte, what did you do while Grandaddy was working for Blackwood? 59 Journeys Through Jackson March - April 2003 GMo: Oh Lord, I didn't have time to do nothing but cook and wash and take care of KJ the youngins, and them a-going to school. They was a school. You know where that little old cloth shop is? Well right up on the hill there - 1 believe they's a tailor or house up there now ~ but they was a school building up there then. That's where the children went to school. Clifford had to walk down the river road to school. The first day [laugh] that he went, why he come home for his dinner and he didnt want to go back. He said he was sick. I told him, "Well, if you don't want to go back, you can just stay here and take care of the baby." I dont remember which one was the baby then [laugh], but he never did say no more about not wanting to go to school. He went back to school that very day. So he made it through, and he took up the third grade the second year that he went to school up there. They let him pass. That was the first year and the second year he went to the third grade. He's been smart ever since, I reckon [laughs]. Yeah. We made it pretty good while we lived up there. The worse part of it was I had to carry water from the highway, over where they was a pump, across to where we lived. I had to carry the water we used. I liked it up there all right. It was all right, but they's no place like home. GF: When was this that you lived over there? Daddy was born in 1931. KJ GMo: Yeah, and Dot was borned up there. If I know'd exactly what year my daddy died, well I'd know the year that we moved back, but I dont know. GF: When did you move over? GMo: I dont know. You know a body ought to copy down things. GF: Why did you decide to move back over here? GMo: Well, because we had all this land then, and all that over in front of Bill Crawford's then. We owned all of it, and we owned our house. Your grandpa would come down here and people from up there would come and help him work on the house, and built more on to it. You see, we built all that back there. These two rooms was already here, and the hall. They built all of that after we went to East LeePort [Ed. We will continue with this interview in our next issue.] 60 Journeys Through Jackson March - April 2003 I n f o r m a t i o n S h e e t s f r o m t h e N o r t h C a r o l i n a S t a te L i b r a r y [Ed. In the May-June issue of Journeys Through Jackson, we printed similar sheets to the following. In that issue, we erroneously credited the information sheets to the North Carolina State Archives, rather than to the North Carolina State Library. We regret the error, but we are happy to print updated copies of the information sheets, and we are grateful to Pam Toms, Genealogical Services Supervisor of the State Library of North Carolina, for calling both the error and the updates to our attention. We will print more of these sheets in future issues pf JTJ.] G e t t i n g S t a r t e d i n G e n e a l o g y : A B a s i c R e s e a r c h S t r a t e gy Ky Genealogical research involves looking for specific people in specific places at specific times. The best place to start is with living family members. Collect information from your family through interviews, Bible and other family records, and cemetery inscriptions. Using this information, fill in the ancestor chart on the back of this sheet with names of known ancestors. Record your name in space .1, your father's name in space 2, and your mother's name in space 3 using her maiden name. Add the names of your father's parents in spaces 4 and 5 and the names of your mother's parents in spaces 6 and 7. Record the date and place for each birth, marriage, and death known, as well as the sources of your information about each event. Continue to add new ancestors in the same manner as they are discovered and proven. Begin your research in the Library by checking the catalog to see if there is a genealogy of your family. Check to see if there are published indexes and/or abstracts/tram captions of records for a specific time and place. For information on organizing your research, consult Val Greenwood's The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy (2d ed., 1990, reprinted 1995). Continue to trace the family through vital records, census records, wills, estates records, marriage records, land records, tax records, and court records. Ky Vital records (births/deaths) were not kept in North Carolina on a statewide basis before October, 1913. For most counties, microfilm indexes of births and deaths (1913-) are available to researchers who visit the Archives Search Room. Death certificates, 1913-1955, are in the custody of the North Carolina State Archives. All birth certificates (1913-) and death certificates (cl955- ) are held in Vital Records, Department of Health and Human Services. Instructions for requesting copies are in both brochures mentioned below. Systematically find and record your ancestors and their household in censuses. Begin with the latest available census in which your earliest proven ancestor might have appeared. Using census indexes, systematically work backward in each preceding census, noting changes in households through the years. Careful analysis of information determined from all the census schedules should indicate probable county of residence, household members, and neighbors of your ancestors. The 1920,1910,1900, and 1880 censuses state the relationship of each person in the household to the head of the household and can be used as substitutes for nonexistent birth certificates. The 1890 census has been destroyed, except for a few fragments; a partial census of Union veterans survives. If you can determine the county and township in which your ancestor was living in the census year, read that township. If you know only your ancestor's name, use the microfilm Miracode or Soundex indexes for 1920, 1910, 1900, and 1880 North Carolina censuses. The 1880 index includes only households with children ten and under. The 1870, 1860, and 1850 indexes are in book form. Heads of households and people with a different surname are indexed; wives and children appear in the census, but not in the index. 61 Journeys Through Jackson March - April 2003 Always look at the census, not just the index. Use census forms; copy all information for the entire household. The name, age, and birthplace of each person in the household, relationship to head of household (1880-1920), occupation, value/ownership of real estate and/or personal property, literacy, ownership of slaves, and neighbors identify a particular person. They also help to distinguish two people with the same name and may give clues to other sources of information. Both the 1900 and 1910 censuses indicate the number of years a couple has been married. Use this information to search the county marriage records. Marriage licenses after 1872 should indicate the names of the parents of the bride and groom. 1870 is the first census naming all African-Americans. To research such families thought to have been slaves, look at all their neighbors (regardless of race) for other family members and possible former owners. For information about slaves before 1865, study the records of the slave owners: census schedules (slave and free), wills, estates records, deeds, bills of sale, and any family papers which may be found in manuscript collections. Although censuses from 1840-1790 list only beads of household by name, each of these censuses must be recorded and analyzed. The 1840-1800 censuses are indexed. All surviving 1790 census schedules have been published, with indexes, by state. Review the ages and birthplaces given for all people in the 1850 and later censuses; use this information to select the appropriate state indexes to search backwards from 1840 to 1790. Remember that the birth date of a person remains the same; parents at one time were children. Using census forms, record all heads of household of the surname being searched in that county or state. Transcribe the statistics for everyone in the household, both free and slave. Record the immediate neighbors in the same manner. KJ Next proceed to the records of the county in which your ancestor lived. Search wills and/or settlements of estates of those who may have died. Look for marriage records of those who may have married. Look for deeds that record your ancestor's purchases, sales or gifts of land. Also study tax lists, court records, bonds, and other county records. Extensive research in the records of the county where your ancestors lived will help you recreate the lives of your ancestors and their families. When each new ancestor is proven, begin all over again, starting with the appropriate census schedules.

The Parris family of Jackson County is a large one. David and Mary Parris had fifteen children of their own, and most of those children would in turn have families. David Parris (10 Nov 1778 - 15 Oct 1848), whose parentage is the subject of a heated debate on the Internet, moved to Haywood (presumably now Jackson) County from the Spartanburg area of South Carolina before 1830. Mary (27 Oct 1783-9 Mar 1859) was one of the daughters of William and Ruth Parham Morrow of the same area. We are comfortable with the parentage of Mary because of the existence of an old Bible in the Nelson family, a Bible which lists the birth dates of most of Mary's children. We are not going to join the debate on David except to say that the lineage from a Virginia family seems more plausible to us at this time. We intend to take the children of David and Mary, list them with their spouses and their own children and what facts we know about them. This is not an easy task. This family has had more than their share of myths, fantasies, suppositions, tangled family stories and outright lies to overcome. Where we are not sure of something, we intend to say so. A perfect example is that we have never seen documentation of a middle name of "Marion" for David, although it might well have been so. David and Mary, along with a number of descendants, arc buried in what would come to be called Keener Cemetery in Sylva.] Oldest of the children of David and Mary was Ruth, born 20 Jul 1800 in South Carolina. She married James Mince and moved to Georgia. The family appears in Habersham County, Georgia, records, then White County. Donald F. Mince of Louisiana, a descendant and a one­time member of JCGS, said that the family moved to Georgia in 1822. Interestingly, one of their daughters would move to Jackson County, North Carolina, and would become the matriarch of a large family here. Ruth, apparently widowed, was living in White County, Georgia, in 1870. Grandchild (of David and Mary Parris) # l...Arlow Mince Arlow Mince, born 18 Mar 1819 (source: Nelson Bible), married Adeline Foster 12 Mar 1840 in Habersham County, Georgia. They were living in Habersham in 1850, then in Floyd County, Georgia, in 1860. Their children: Thomas W. Mince (ca. 1841 - ) Eliza M. Mince (ca. 1844 -) Talitha J. Mince (ca. 1846 - ) Robert W.

They were living in White County, Georgia at the enumeration of the 1860 census. The fourth child's name is courtesy of Donald Mince. The children of William and Sarah: Martha Mince (ca. 1852 -) Miles Mince (ca. 1856 - ) John Mince (ca. 1859-) George Lee Mince ( ) Ky William's second wife was Mary Martha At the time of the enumeration of the 1880 census, William and Mary Martha were living in Smith County, Tennessee. Their children: 63 Journeys Through Jackson March - April 2003 Maud Mince (ca. 1873 - ) Briggs Mince (ca. 1876 - ) >) Lydia Mince (ca. 1878 - ) Grandchild #3...Margaret Mince Margaret Mince, born ca. 1825 in Georgia, married John Patterson 7 Jan 1844 in Habersham County, Georgia. According to Donald Mince, Margaret died in childbirth. Child of Margaret and John: William Patterson (ca. 1847 - ) This child lived with his grandmother Ruth. Grandchild #4...Susan Hannah Mince Susan Hannah Mince was born about 1830. Her name was supplied by Donald Mince. (The 1850 Habersham census gave only initials.) We know nothing further about her. Grandchild #5...Elizabeth M. Mince Elizabeth M. Mince was born 20 Mar 1835 in Habersham County, Georgia and died 23 Sep 1918 in Jackson County, North Carolina. She married 30 Dec 1856 in White County, Georgia to Peter Cosby Reed (11 Jan 1827 - 26 Apr 1906). "Betsy" and Cosby Reed are buried in Keener Cemetery in Sylva.

William Seaborn Plott Charles W. Reed (May 1877 - ) m. Hattie Smith Grandchild #6...James Desmond Mince James Desmond Mince was born 13 Aug 1837 (birthdate courtesy Donald Mince) and married a woman named Mary. Their child: Jesse Mince (ca. 1859 - ) (In the 1880 census, Nacoochee district, White County, Georgia, a Jesse Mince is listed in the home of Edward C. Nix as a nephew. Could we conclude that James Desmond was married to a Mary Nix? Interestingly, there is also a Mary Mince, age 12, listed as a niece in this household. Is this a younger sister of Jesse?) James Desmond is also in this district of this county, married to a woman named Millie, with two stepsons in the home. Their names are John and Alfred Harkin Allison. James D. is shown as attending a grist and saw mill. Grandchild #7...Alfred Marion Mince • y 64 Journeys Through Jackson March - April 2003 Alfred Marion Mince was born about 1840 and died 5 Jun 1862 in Richmond, Virginia of wounds, according to Donald Mince. He married 4 Sep 1859 Rachel C. Ragans (Reagan?) in White County, Georgia. We do not know if they had any children before his death. Rachel remarried to a Parr. Grandchild #8...John Harrison Mince John Harrison Mince was born about 1842. We know nothing else about him. Notes on and questions about the Ruth Parris Mince Family: 1 ...We know little about this family, but Donald Mince said that the family has a large week-long family reunion, alternately in the western states and in the South. 2... A woman named Nancy Mince married an Andrew B. Lee 23 Jan 1853 in Habersham County. Was she a daughter of Ruth and James? 3...James Mince was dead before 1860. Ruth lived with the Reeds in 1870. 4...The 1880 Federal Census for Wattensas, Prairie County, Arkansas lists a William R. Mince, who is the right age to be the fourth child of Arlow. Did the Arlow family move to Arkansas after living in Floyd County, Georgia? 5...A William Patterson of the right age to be the son of Margaret Mince was living in the Scotts Creek section of Jackson County in 1880. Both he and his wife "Thussey" (Thirza?) were born in Georgia, as were some of the children. They were not in this township in the 1900 census, and they do not seem to be the same family as the other Jackson County Pattersons, although much more work needs to be done on this. 6...As usual, we would welcome any new information that would lead to more files and records on this family.
