From the Editor We finish another year in the Society, and another good one it has been. 2004 saw us holding a very successful fundraiser, having the second volume of our Heritage book reprinted, adding more and more to our Society library, and as usual, having very interesting and thought-provoking programs. Our officers and many of our members have worked diligently to maintain a viable Society, helped greatly by the generosity of our members who can't be with us very often. Regretfully, we have said goodbye to several Society members this year, but in keeping with our faith, we believe that those goodbyes are only temporary. Enclosed you will find two forms. One asks you for a nomination for our Holden Award, the annual Distinguished Service award given to a person who has forwarded genealogical research in Jackson County through publication or other worthy effort. The deadline for submitting award nominations is December 1, please. The other form is, of course, asking you for your money. Society dues stay at $20.00 for individual, $25.00 for a family, or a lifetime amount based on age. (See the inside back cover of your journal.) As you finish the year, sink your teeth (and your minds) into this issue. It features a remarkable first-person account of Jackson County during the Civil War, as well as the usual potpourri of pictures, official records, letters, and pure genealogy. Wishing you a very blessed holiday season.

J C G S member James Monteith thinks that the photograph above may be likenesses of S.A. Monteith (Samuel Andrew) and his wife Sarah McClure Monteith. While many people would rightly associate this family with Swain County, S.A. Monteith was a son of William and Nancy Crawford Monteith of Jackson County. Parents of a large family, this couple has a great many descendants, including our member James. S.A. a n d "Sally" Monteith a r e b u r i e d i n t h e Monteith Cemetery at Lauada.

Kudos to JCGS member Tim Barker for his persistence on this article and submission. Tim had mentioned that he had seen the article online, and he is the member responsible for obtaining the proper permission to publish excerpts here. Our formal credit is as follows: Courtesy of Cornell University Library, Making of America Digital Collection Skelton, W.H. "A Hard Road To Travel Out Of Dixie" The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine. Volume XL, New Series XVIII May 1890, to October 1890 pp. 931 - 949 The narrative is a first - person account of a Union officer who escapes his Confederate captors. The narrative begins with the Battle of the Wilderness, where Skelton is first captured and makes his first escape, then is recaptured. He is moved to Lynchburg, then is bound for Andersonville when he is taken from the train in Macon.] "A few days thereafter about three hundred prisoners were crowded into cattle cars bound for Andersonville. We must have been a week on this railroad journey when an Irish lieutenant of a Rochester regiment and I, who had been allowed to ride in the baggage car, were taken from the train at Macon, Georgia, where about sixteen hundred Union officers were confined at the Fair-Grounds. General Alexander Shaler, of Sedgwick's corps, also captured at the Wilderness, was the ranking officer, and to him was accorded a sort of interior command of the camp. Before passing through the gate we expected to see a crowd bearing some outward semblance of respectability. Instead, we were instantly surrounded by several hundred ragged,- barefooted, frowzy-headed men shouting 'Fresh Fish!' at the top of their voices and eagerly asking for news. With rare exceptions all were shabbily dressed. There was, however, a little knot of naval officers, who had been captured in the windings of the narrow Rappahannock by a force of cavalry, and who were the aristocrats of the camp. They were housed in a substantial fair-building in the center of the grounds, and by some special terms of surrender must have brought their complete wardrobes along. On hot days they appeared in spotless white duck, which they were permitted to send outside to be laundered. Their mess was abundantly supplied with the fruits and vegetables of the season." [These officers celebrate the Fourth of July, then with the fall of Atlanta, the Macon camp was dissolved and the prisoners were sent eventually to Columbia. Skelton escapes there, and goes toward Charleston, where he is imprisoned again, then sent back to Columbia, where he escapes again on November 29,1864.] "We avoided the towns, and after an endless variety of adventures approached the mountains, cold, hungry, ragged, and footsore. On the night of December 13 we were grouped about a guide-post, at a fork in the road, earnestly contending as to which way we should 'proceed. Lieutenant Sill was for the right, I was for the left, and no amount of persuasion could induce Lieutenant Lamson to decide the controversy. I yielded, and we turned to the right After walking a mile in a state of general uncertainty we came to a low white farm-house standing very near to the road. It was now close upon midnight and the windows were all dark, but from a house of logs, partly behind the other, gleamed a bright light Judging this to be the servants' quarters, two of us remained back while Lieutenant Sill made a cautious approach. In due time a negro appeared, advancing stealthily, and beckoning to my companion and me, conducted us in the shadow of a hedge to a side window, through which we clambered into the cabin. We were made very comfortable in the glow of a bright wood fire. Sweet potatoes were already roasting in the ashes, and a tin pot of barley coffee was steaming on the coals. Rain and sleet had begun to fall, and it was decided that after having been warmed and refreshed we should be concealed in the barn until the following night Accordingly we were conducted thither and put to bed upon a pile 153 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2004 of corn-shucks high up under the roof. Secure as this retreat seemed, it was deemed advisable in the morning to burrow several feet down in the mow, so that the children, if by i any chance they should climb so high, might romp unsuspecting over our heads. We could still look out through the cracks in the siding and get sufficient light whereby to study a map of the Southern States, which had been brought us with our breakfast. [The escapees are then treated to a hearty meal before leaving this residence. They are in the vicinity of Pickens, South Carolina.] "At Oconee, on Sunday, December 18, we met a negro well acquainted with the roads and passes into North Carolina, who furnished us information by which we traveled for two nights, recognizing on the second objects which by his direction we avoided, like the house of Black Bill McKinney, and going directly to that of friendly old Tom Handcock. The first of these two nights we struggled up the foothills and outlying spurs of the mountains, through an uninhabited waste of rolling barrens, along an old stage road, long deserted, and in places impassable to a saddle mule. Lying down before morning, high up on the side of the mountain, we fell asleep, to be awakened by thunder and lightning and to find torrents of hail and sleet beating upon our blankets. Chilled to the bone, we ventured to build a small fire in a secluded place. After dark, and before abandoning our camp, we gathered quantities of wood, stacking it upon the fire, which when we left it was a wild tower of flame lighting up the whole mountain side in the direction we had come, and seeming, in some, sort, to atone for a long succession of shivering days in fireless bivouac. We followed the same stage road through the scattering settlement of Casher's [sic] Valley in Jackson County, North Carolina. A little farther on, two houses, of hewn logs, with verandas and green blinds, just fitted the description we had received of the home of old Tom Handcock. Knocking boldly at the door of the farther one, we were soon in the presence of the loyal mountaineer. He and his wife had been sleeping on a bed spread upon the floor before the fire. Drawing this to one side, they heaped the chimney with green wood and were soon listening with genuine delight to the story of our adventures.'' "After breakfast next day, Tom, with his rifle, led us by a back road to the house of 'Squire Larkin C. Hooper,' a leading loyalist, whom we met on the way, and together we proceeded to his house. Ragged and forlorn, we were eagerly welcomed at his home by Hooper's invalid wife and daughters. For several days we enjoyed a hospitality given as freely to utter strangers as if we had been relatives of the family." "Here we learned of a party about to start through the mountains for East Tennessee, guided by Emanuel Headen, who lived on the crest of the Blue Ridge. Our friend Tom was to be one of the party, and other refugees were coming over the Georgia border, where Headen, better known in the settlement as 'Man Heady,' was mustering his party. It now being near Christmas, and the squire's family in daily expectation of a relative, who was a captain in the Confederate army, it was deemed prudent for us to go on to Headen's under the guidance of Tom. Setting out at sunset on the 23rd of December, it was late in the evening when we arrived at our destination, having walked nine miles up the mountain trails over a light carpeting of snow. Pausing in front of a diminutive cabin, through the chinks of whose stone fireplace and stick chimney the whole interior seemed to be red hot like a furnace, our guide demanded, 'Is Man Heady to hum?' Receiving a sharp negative in reply, he continued, 'Well, can Tom get to stay all night?' At this the door flew open and a skinny woman appeared, her homespun frock pendent with tow-headed urchins." KJ KJ 154 c Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2004 '" In course you can,' she cried, leading the way into the cabin. Never have I seen so unique a character as this voluble, hatchet-faced, tireless woman. Her skin was like yellow parchment, and I doubt if she knew by experience what it was to be sick or weary. She had built the stake-and-cap fences that divided the fields, and she boasted of the acres she had plowed. The cabin was very small. Two bedsteads, with a narrow alleyway between, occupied half the interior. One was heaped with rubbish and in the other slept the whole family, consisting of father, mother, a daughter of sixteen, and two little boys. When I add that the room contained a massive timber loom, a table, a spinning wheel, and a variety of rude seats, it will be understood that we were crowded uncomfortably close to tbe fire. Shrinking back as far as possible from the blaze, we listened in amused wonder to the tongue of this seemingly untamed virago, who, nevertheless, proved to be the kindest - hearted of women. She cursed, in her high-pitched tones, for a pack of fools, the men who had brought on the war. Roderic Norton, who lived down the mountain, she expressed a profane desire to 'stomp through the turnpike' because at some time he had stolen one of her hogs, marked, as to the ear, with 'two small craps an' a slit in the left.' Once only she had journeyed into the low country, where she had seen those twin marvels, steam cars and brick chimneys. On this occasion she had driven a heifer to market, making a journey of forty miles, walking beside her horse and wagon, which she took along to bring back the cornmeal received in payment for the animal. Charged by her husband to bring back the heifer bell, and being denied that musical instrument by the purchaser, it immediately assumed more importance to her mind than horse, wagon, and corn-meal. Baffled at first, she proceeded to the pasture in the gray of the morning, cornered the cow and cut off the bell, and, in her own picturesque language, 'walked through the streets of Walhalla cussin.' Rising at midnight, she would fall to spinning with all her energy. To us, waked from sleep on the floor by the humming of the wheel, she seemed by the light of the low fire like a witch in a sun-bonnet, darting forward and back." "We remained there several days, sometimes at the cabin and sometimes at a cavern in the rocks such as abound throughout the mountains, and which are called by the natives 'rock houses.' Many of the men at that time were 'outliers' - that is, they camped in the mountain fastnesses, receiving their food from some member of the family. Some of these men, as now, had their copper stills in the rock houses, while others, more wary of the recruiting sergeant, wandered from point to point, their only furniture a rifle and a bedquilt On December 29, we were joined at the cavern by Lieutenant Knapp and Captain Smith, Federal officers, who had also made their way from Columbia, and by three refugees from Georgia, whom I remember as Old Man Tigue and the two Vincent boys. During the night our party was to start across the mountains for Tennessee. Tom Handcock was momentarily expected to join us. Our guide was busy with preparations for the journey. The night coming on icy cold, and a cutting wind driving the smoke of the fire into our granite house, we abandoned it at nine o'clock and descended to the cabin. Headen and his wife had gone to the mill for a supply of corn-meal. Although it was time for their return, we were in no wise alarmed by their absence, and formed a jovial circle about the roaring chimney. About midnight came a rap on the door. Thinking it was Tom Handcock and some of his companions, I threw it open with an eager 'Come in, boys!' The boys began to come in, stamping the snow from their boots and rattling their muskets on the floor, until the house was full, and yet others were on guard without and crowding the porch, 'man Heady' and his wife were already prisoners at the mill, and the house had been picketed for some hours awaiting the arrival of the other refugees, who had discovered the plot just in time to keep out of the toils. Marshaled in some semblance of military array, we were marched down the mountain, over the frozen ground, to the house of old Roderic Norton. The Yankee officers were sent to an upper room, while the refugees were guarded below, 155 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2004 under the immediate eyes of the soldiery. Making the best of our misfortune, our original trio bounced promptly into a warm bed, which had been recently deserted by some VJ members of the family, and secured a good night's rest." [The men spent the night here, and Knapp managed to disable two muskets of the guards.] "We had but a moderate march to make to the headquarters of the battalion, where we were to spend the night. Our guards we found kindly disposed towards us, but bitterly upbraiding the refugees, whom they saluted by the ancient name of Tories. Lieutenant Cogdill, in command of the expedition, privately informed us that his sympathies were entirely ours, but as a matter of duty he should guard us jealously while under his military charge. If we could effect our escape thereafter we had only to come to his mountain home and he would conceal us until such time as he could dispatch us with safety over the borders. These mountain soldiers were mostly of two classes, both opposed to the war, but doing home-guard duty in lieu of sterner service in the field. Numbers were of the outlier class, who, wearied of continual hiding in the laurel brakes, had embraced this service as a compromise. Many were deserters, some of whom had coolly set at defiance the terms of their furloughs, while others had abandoned the camps in Virginia, and versed in mountain craft, had made their way along the Blue Ridge and put in a heroic appearance in their native valleys." "That night we arrived at a farm-house near the river, where we found Major Parker, commanding the battalion, with a small detachment, billeted upon the family. The farmer was a gray-haired old loyalist, whom I shall always remember, leaning on his staff in the middle of the kitchen, barred out from his place in the chimney-corner by the noisy circle of his unbidden guests. Major Parker was a brisk little man, clad in brindle jeans of an ancient cut, resplendent with brass buttons. Two small piercing eyes, deep-set beside a hawk's-beak nose, twinkled from under the rim of his brown straw hat, whose crown was defiantly surmounted by a cock's feather. But he was exceedingly jolly withal and welcomed the Yankees with pompous good humor, dispatching a sergeant for a jug of apple-jack, which was doubtless as inexpensive to the major as his other hospitality. Having been a prisoner at Chicago, he prided himself on his knowledge of dungeon etiquette and the military courtesies due to our rank." [Headen was threatened with hanging the next morning, but survived the ordeal.] "Lieutenant CogdUl, with two soldiers, was detailed to conduct us to Quallatown, a Cherokee station at the foot of the Great Smoky Mountains. Two horses were allotted to the guard, and we set out in military order, the refugees two and two in advance, Headen and Old Man Tigue lashed together by the wrists, and the rear brought up by the troopers on horseback. It was the last day of the year, and although a winter morning, the rare mountain air was as soft as spring. We struck the banks of the Tuckasegee directly opposite to a feathery waterfall, which, leaping over a crag of the opposite cliff, was dissipated in a glittering sheet of spray before reaching the tops of the trees below. As the morning advanced we fell into a more negligent order of marching. The beautiful river, a wide, swift current, flowing smoothly between thickly wooded banks, swept by on our left, and on the right wild, uninhabited mountains closed in the road. The two Vincents were strolling along far in advance. Some distance behind them were Headen and Tigue; the remainder of us following in a general group, Sill mounted beside one of the guards. Advancing in this order, a cry from the front broke on the stillness of the woods, and we beheld Old Man Tigue gesticulating wildly in the center of the road and screaming 'He's gone! He's gone! 156 KJ KJ L - O Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2004 Catch him!' Sure enough the old man was alone, the fragment of the parted strap dangling from his outstretched wrist. The guard, who was mounted, dashed off in pursuit, followed by the lieutenant on foot, but both soon returned, giving over the hopeless chase. Thoroughly frightened by the events of the morning, Headen had watched his opportunity to make good his escape, and as we afterwards learned, joined by Knapp and Tom Handcock, he conducted a party safely to Tennessee." "At Webster, the court town of Jackson County, we were quartered for the night in the jail, but accompanied Lieutenant Cogdill to a venison breakfast at the parsonage with Mrs. Harris and her daughter, who had called on us the evening before. Snow had fallen during the night, and when we continued our march it was with the half-frozen slush crushing in and out, at every step, through our broken shoes. Before the close of this dreary New Year's day we came upon the scene of one of those wild tragedies which are still of too frequent occurrence in those remote regions, isolated from the strong arm of the law. Our road led down and around the mountain side, which on our right was a barren, rocky waste, sloping gradually up from the inner curve of the arc we were describing. From this direction arose a low wailing sound, and a little farther on we came in view of a dismal group of men, women, and mules. In the center of the gathering lay the lifeless remains of a father and his two sons; seated upon the ground, swaying and weeping over their dead, were the mother and wives of the young men. A burial party, armed with spades and picks, waited by their mules, while at a respectful distance from the mourners stood a circle of neighbors and passers-by, some gazing in silent sympathy, and others not hesitating to express a quiet approval of the shocking tragedy. Between two families, the Hoopers and the Watsons, a bitter feud had long existed, and from time to time men of each clan had fallen by the rifles of the other. The Hoopers were loyal Union men, and if the Watsons yielded any loyalty it was to the State of North Carolina. On one occasion shortly before the final tragedy, when one of the young Hoopers was sitting quietly in his door, a light puff of smoke rose from the bushes and a rifle ball plowed through his leg. The Hoopers resolved to begin the new year by wiping.out their enemies, root and branch. Before light they had surrounded the log cabin of the Watsons and secured all the male inmates, except one who, wounded, escaped through a window. The latter afterwards executed a singular revenge, by killing and skinning the dog of his enemies and elevating the carcass on a pole in front of their house. [We doubt the veracity of at least part of the paragraph above. First, if the group were headed to Quallatown and spent the night in.Webster, it would make no sense to travel back up the river toward East LaPorte, which is where the Watsons were buried. Secondly, we believe that the author was embellishing his story here. The account was of the first day of the year in 1865, but the Watsons were killed a year or so earlier. We believe that while he has many of the facts straight, he simply added the Hooper-Watson feud to his account, perhaps through his correspondence with W.R. Hooper of Cashiers, who is mentioned in a footnote on this page. The party went on to Quallatown, then made their way to Asheville. The house of a Colonel Bryson is mentioned, presumably Thaddeus D. Bryson, who was a Confederate Colonel, and incidentally, a third great-uncle of the editor. Two of the officers escaped here, and very interestingly, according to another footnote, spent the night at the house of "Shooting John Brown," who, also incidentally, was the great-great grandfather of the editor's brother-in-law. The footnote also gives an account of the Jackson County law authorities searching for the Hoopers and led by the surviving Watson, so perhaps the account is at least partially true. The prisoners were taken from Asheville to Greenville, South Carolina, where they were assisted by their jailers in another escape. Skelton made his way back into the mountains in the vicinity of today's Polk County, and, unbelievably, back to Cashiers.] 157 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2004 "After a day's rest I climbed the mountains to the Headen cabin, now presided over by the heroine of the heifer bell in the absence of her fugitive husband. Saddling her horse, \^J she took me the next evening to join a lad who was about starting for Shooting Creek....At Shooting Creek I was the guest of the Widow Kitchen, whose house was the principal one in the settlement and whose estate boasted two slaves. The husband had fallen by an anonymous bullet while salting his cattle on the mountain in an early year of tbe war." "On the day following my arrival, I was conducted over a ridge to another creek, where I met two professional guides, Quince Edmonston and Mack Hooper. As I came upon the pair parting a thicket of laurel, with their long rifles at a shoulder, I instantly recognized the coat of the latter as the snuff-colored sack in which I had last seen Lieutenant Lamson. It had been given to the man at Chattanooga, where the same guides had conducted my former companions in safety a month before. Quince Edmonston, the elder, had led numerous parties of Yankee officers over the Wacheesa trail for a consideration of a hundred dollars, pledged to be paid by each officer at Chattanooga or Nashville." [Skelton encounters other Confederates at Mrs. Kitchen's, and must escape from them, literally running out the door and over the fields.] "On Sunday our expedition assembled on a hillside overlooking Shooting Creek, where our friends in the secret of the movement came up to bid us adieu. With guides we were a party of thirteen or fourteen, but only three of us officers who were to pay for our safe conduct Each man carried his supply of bread and meat and bedding. Some were wrapped in faded bedquilts and some in tattered army blankets; nearly all wire ragged clothes, broken shoes, and had unkempt beards. We arrived upon a mountainside y_y overlooking the settlement of Peach Tree, and were awaiting the friendly shades of night under which to descend to the house of the man who was to put us across Valley River....Here we learned that a cavalcade of Texas Rangers had advanced into Tennessee by the roads on the day before." "We had now left behind us the last settlement, and before us lay only wild and uninhabited mountains. The trail we traveled was an Indian path extending for nearly seventy miles through an uninhabited wilderness. Instead of crossing the ridges it follows the trend of the range, winding for the most part along the crests of the divides. The occasional traveler having once mounted to its level pursues his solitary way with little climbing." "Early in the morning of the fourth day our little party was assembled upon the last mountain overlooking the open country of East Tennessee. Some of us had been wandering in the mountains for a whole winter....Below us stretched the Tellico River away towards the line of towns marking the course of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad....Our nearest pickets were at Loudon, thirty miles distant on the railway, and for this station we were advised to make all speed." [The party makes its way along the river, where they encounter soldiers on horseback. These men turn out to be artillerymen from an Ohio regiment, chasing the Texans already mentioned.] "On...the 4th of March, the day of the second inauguration of President Lincoln, we walked into Loudon and gladly surrendered ourselves to the outposts of the Ohio Heavy Artillery." 158 KJ Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2004 J a c k s o n C o u n t y P e r s o n s M a r r i e d i n H a y w o o d C o u n t y 1 8 5 0 - 1 9 3 9 [We continue here with the series on Haywood marriages.

To our knowledge, this completes the delineation of the grandchildren of David and Mary Morrow Parris. Mary Parris Monteith was not the youngest child in the family, but we have no records other than birth dates for her two younger sisters.] Lucy Parris was the thirteenth child of David and Mary. We have no record of her marriage or death. She was bom 4 Jan 1821. If she died young, she is presumably buried in Keener Cemetery where her parents rest. Jane Parris was the fourteenth child of David and Mary. From our perspective, her story is identical to Lucy above, except that her birth date was 7 Jul 1822. Major Wiley Parris was the fifteenth and youngest child of David and Mary. He was bom 20 Nov 1823, and was married twice, first to a Jane and second to Sarah Hughes. In his second marriage, he lived near his wife's people in the Oconaluftee area, and may well be buried there in an unmarked grave. Occasionally we will see some legal reference to Wiley, but he must have died before North Carolina kept official records of vital statistics. In conclusion, we cannot be absolutely certain that the 69 numbered grandchildren were all of the grandchildren of David and Mary. We do not know the fate of daughters Sarah, Lucy, and Jane, and we are presuming that Major Wiley had no children. Of the other eleven children, only Talitha Parris Brendle did not have a family of her own. Any questions or corrections to any of this "Grandchildren" series would be welcome. Address those questions or corrections to Larry Crawford in care of the Society. 165- Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2004 N o r t h C a r o l i n a P e t r o g l y p h a n d P i c t o g r a p h S u r v e y ^J [Ed. At the October meeting of the Society, Scott Ashcraft (see below) presented the program on one phase of his work for the U.S. Forest Service. We reprint his flyer with his permission.] A survey for prehistoric and historic rock art in North Carolina is now underway in hopes of locating and recording these fragile historic resources. Archaeologists from the National Forests in North Carolina, the Office of State Archaeology-Western Office, Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indian Department of Cultural Resources, North Carolina Archaeological Society, Warren Wilson College and numerous individuals are joining forces to conduct this important survey. Rock art may come in the form of prehistoric petroglyphs (rock carvings) or pictographs (pigments applied on rock surfaces) or historic carvings and paintings that are 75 years old or older. Over 48 petroglyph and pictograph sites have been recorded in North Carolina and there are many more that have yet to be recorded. Over 50 sites and hundreds of glyphs have recently been discovered in the mountains and foothills of South Carolina and we expect similar finds in North Carolina. Petroglyphs can be simple circles or "cups" carved in the rock or intricate artistic designs that represent humans and animals, and these can b e hundreds or even thousands of years old. Even historic "graffiti" can b e from an important time like the Victorian period or may have been carved b y important individuals. Pictographs also may be simple or complex designs, yet these are more fragile than petroglyphs and most likely will b e faded and hard to see. Most petroglyphs in North Carolina seem to date to the Archaic period or around 4,000 years old, although some date to the Mississippian period around 600 years in age. Three of t h e 4 recorded pictographs appear to date to the Mississippian period or maybe the Qualla period and probably range between 200 and 600 years old. Historic carvings show dates ranging from the 1600s to early 1900s. Unfortunately, time, weather, and humans threaten the integrity of these archaeological sites. The majority of known petroglyphs and pictographs in North Carolina have been negatively impacted and many have been removed from their original location. The goal of this rock art survey is to record as many as possible before they disappear to development, vandalism or natural forces. It is not the goal of this survey to attempt to place restrictions on peoples land or confiscate rock art. There is n o legal authority to do such a thing; we simply want to record and document the rich history of North Carolina. If any one has information about the location of a petroglyph or pictograph site please contact the individuals listed below, and join us in documenting these important historic resources. Many, many thanks in advance! ^J i Hiw»s»ee Rock f>> 166 Scott Ashcraft, Archaeologist, Director US Forest Service 160-AZillicoaSt Asheville, N C 28802 eachrM-afrrais.fed.us 828 257 2544 (fax) 828 257 4874 Lorie Hansen Project Coordinator Lhansen3 9fq>,mchsi. com 828 697 6187 U Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2004 L> C o r r e s p o n d e n c e i n t h e F r a n c i s F a m i l y [Ed.

He is buried in Old Field Cemetery. She might be buried there beside him in an unmarked grave. Lucinda was the oldest daughter of Riley Blanton and his first wife Dollie Mayes. The older son here is John R., who became the second husband of Elizabeth Jane Ensley. They are buried in Arrington Cemetery at Saunook. Margaret (25 May 1861 - 10 Jun 1915) married Hiram Raines (1858 - 1926). They are buried in the Blanton - Norman Cemetery at Ochre Hill. The Mary shown above was Mary Magdalene (3 Jul 1863 - 26 Jul 1933), who married John B. Bryson (10 Jul 1867 - 5 Dec 1918). They are buried in Crawford Cemetery. The younger son here might have married a Parris in Haywood County. We have never been sure where they lived. These are the youngest of Lucinda's children. She was the mother of five older ones, as well as the stepmother of two from the first marriage of Brooks. Descendants of at least four (Sylvanus, John, Nancy Brooks Mills, and Salinda Brooks Shuler) are members of our Society. FamUy #41 David S.

All are buried in Crawford Cemetery except Florence, who is buried with her people in the Ashe - McKay Cemetery above Mount Pleasant Church. With Julia's death being so early, we are sure that Avery Bryson married again, but we do not know where he lived. The William T. Gunter shown here might have been a son of Dorcas Estes Gunter. Other than being a neighbor, we are not sure why he is listed in this family unless he was helping on the farm. 191 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2004 I n d e x f o r Journeys Through Jackson, Vol. X I V , N o .
