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 We finish another very successful year in the Jackson County Genealogical Society by recognizing the outstanding efforts of outgoing society president Dorris Dills Beck. Every organization made up of volunteers should be as fortunate as we have been over the past six years. We are glad that Dorris is retaining the office of Librarian, so that she will still be very involved with our group. We also realize, however, that change is inevitable and is normal in the course of life, so we shall dedicate ourselves to supporting James Monteith in his new capacity. Speaking of fortunate, your editor's job was made easier this time by the contributions of all of the following: Bill Crawford, Sanji Talley Watson, Jerry Facteau, James Monteith, Dorris Dills Beck, Betty Cope Andrews, Mack Sutton, Dan Johnson, Naomi Hooper Green, Shawna Green Hall, Ruth Ensley Bryson, Ruth Crawford Shuler, Tim Osment, and Peggy Crawford Jones. Count 'em folks. That's fourteen individuals who contributed to this issue of our publication. We ask you to read carefully the letter that accompanies your membership renewal, and we also hope that you will respond to the Holden Award nomination form. May your 2007 Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's (or any other celebration that might be particular to your religion or cultural tradition) be the most joyous one in your lives. Resolve, as always, to do more genealogy in 2008. u 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 . j c n c g s . c o m / Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2007 C T a b l e o f C o n t e n t s Announcements 145 JCGS P h o t o Album 146 - 1 5 0 T r a n s c r i p t i o n s F r om a Little Book 151 - 1 5 5 1887 C o n s t r u c t i o n Contract 156 1977 and 1 9 7 8 Jackson County Death Certificates 157-162 JCGS L i b r a r y Acquisitions 162 Descendants of Johannes Risch 163 - 1 6 8 Early 20th C e n t u r y Jackson County Marriage Certificates 169 - 1 7 2 Ridgecrest B a p t i s t C h u r c h Cemetery 173 - 1 7 6 John P a r k e r Descendants 177-178 Naomi G r e e n ' s Response to O u r Coggins Article 179 One of O u r Members 180 DNA T e s t i n g as a Tool for Genealogical Research 181 - 1 8 3 Minnie's S c r a p b o o k 184 - 1 8 6 One Thing a n d Another 187 - 1 8 8 New Members of J C G S in 2007 189 - 1 9 0 Index 191-192 In Memory We offer our sympathies to the families of Louise Morgan and Ruth Barger.

Happy 100th birthday! 145 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2007 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m ^J KJ JCGS member Sanji Talley Watson has been at it again. Above, another example of the pictures she has collected in the Shook family. This one shows, on t h e back, Clercy Jane Hooper Shook and Theodocia Shook Watson. On the front are James Marion Shook and Laura Jane Shook Haskett. Below, J im Haskett, son of L a u r a Jane. KJ 146 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2007 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m On this page, JCGS-member Jerry Facteau submits a photograph of his grandfather Lonnie Crisp, shown with Lonnie's mother - in - law Lydia Jane Carson Queen. (Her daughter Bertha was not the mother of Lonnie Crisp's children, thus t h e lady in the picture is not lineally related to Jerry.) Lonnie Crisp was the father of a large family whom we associate with the Scotts Creek section of Jackson County. Lydia J a n e Carson Queen was the ancestress of a very large family in her own right. C 147 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2007 J C G S P h o t o A l b um KJ \ J We suppose that we can say that Bill Crawford submitted this picture of his aunt and uncle. The photograph above shows Alfred Washington Parris, who was a brother of Bill's great - great grandmother Lucretia Parris Ensley. Alfred Washington's wife was Laura Louisa Conner, who was a sister of Bill's great - grandmother Susannah Conner Sherrill. To say that the descendants of the couple above are related to Bill is rather understating the case. -u 148 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2007 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m JCGS Vice - President James Monteith passes along this photograph, which he says was taken from a card photo, which was in turn taken from a tintype. James also states that this is the oldest photograph he has yet collected. The woman is Esther Thompson Sawyer, daughter of Nathan and Esther Black Thompson. She lived from 1800 until 1863. The man is Joel Sawyer, her husband, who lived from 1800 until 1866. The original photo is in the possession of Lonellen Sawyer Fox. 149 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2007 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m f-*r*&t —<-g * ' KJ \ J We were fortunate enough to visit this monument in October. It is located in Willowdale Cemetery in Goldsboro, and is the resting place of Martin W. Crawford, who died in Goldsboro in March of 1863. (Company B, 25th NC Troops) (His death was not a result of j combat.) The SCV chapter there has done a beautiful job of commemorating the sacrifice of many Confederate soldiers who rest in a mound there. Bill Crawford furnished this picture for us. \ y 150 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2007 C T r a n s c r i p t i o n s F r o m a L i t t l e B o o k --Ed. The following are the contents of a small paperback book that found its way to our office. It was donated to the Friends of the Library bookstore, whose good people passed it along to Bill Crawford. Bill brought it to us. The little book was originally a small ledger issued by the United States government. On its cover its imprint reads 5 - 9 47 Department of the Interior U.S. Indian Service -The Department of the Interior was created in 1849, so this little book was presumably of recent vintage when most of the writing in it was done. -Also on the cover, written in 19th century longhand, is the following: "Notes of Thomas Entries from the time Jackson County was formed untill (sic) he went crazy" -We have no way of knowing who wrote this, but we can be reasonably sure that it was someone who knew William Holland Thomas. We doubt that there was any maliciousness (or even any pejorative implication) in the choice of words. Not everyone through history has beaten around the bush with euphemisms the way we do today. -On the first flyleaf of the ledger is written "Lands Lying in fork of Tuckaseige and Ocona Lufty River Grant 562 to J.B. Allison, 10,000acres 563 also JB Allison 10,000 acres -After two financial entries (we will return to these later), the land entry notes begin here. -No. 105 R.V.W. & Wm. W.

For those persons unfamiliar with land entries, we should stress that these claims did not mean that the persons ever secured outright ownership of the land, especially with such obscene numbers of acres. Small wonder that the American Indian was confused and tricked by white men - traditionally the Indian had little concept of personal possession of land, rather seeing it (like the air) for use by all. -No. 239 R.A.

William moved from Washington Co, TN to adjoining Greene Co. after his second child was bom. In Greeneville he was one of the partners in a grist mill in nearby Afton. This business did not last long. William bought a farm about 10 miles west of Greeneville, between Mosheim and Midway.

JCGS member and Hooper researcher Naomi Hooper Green passed along the following additions.] In the Sarah Elizabeth Coggins - Sonny Sam Hooper family: Oldest daughter Caldona Hooper (b. Feb. 1887) m. James Jackson Dills 26 Aug 1903. Oldest son Daniel Corsey Hooper and his wife Maggie Frady had 13 children, and Naomi has provided a family group record of these. Bertie Hooper's middle name was Serila, her husband F r a n k Edgar O'Neal Bishop. They were t h e parents of six children, and Naomi has provided an FGR of this family also. Richard Edgar Hooper was born 23 Jul 1896 and died 11 Jan 1971. He is buried in Gwynn Cemetery in Haywood County. His wife Mary Ann Frizzell (1896 - 8 Jun 1952) bore him eight children, and Naomi sends along an FGR for these also. Richard Edgar's second wife was Corene Putnam. The specific dates for Sadie Lee Frizzell, first wife of Radford Hooper, are 18 Apr 1905 - 13 May 1962. They were the parents of six children. Zachery Homer Hooper (21 May 1904 - 5 Apr 1983) died in Haywood County and is buried in New Cruso Cemetery. He was married to Cordie Wood and had two daughters. He seems also to have been married a second time, to Ruby Ethel Rickman, and they were the parents of seven children. Bethel "Bethie" Hooper married Ennis A. Thompson 2 Sep 1922. They were the parents of five children. Mary Hooper first married Ralph C. Jones and second Rufus Candler Buchanan. [Ed.

We expect he'll find some German ancestors, and a few from ancient Rome as well. u 180 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2007 U D N A T e s t i n g a s a T o o l f o r G e n e a l o g i c a l R e s e a r c h [ Ed. The following very timely article was submitted by JCGS member Shawna Green Hall of Waterford, Michigan. Readers will remember that one of Shawna's principal genealogical interests is the Owen family.] Everyone who has researched their family history has hit a brick wall on at least one of their lines. A big, big brick wall for me has been my Owen line. A group of Owen descendants who are members of the very active Mountain Kin Genealogy group on the Internet decided to see if DNA testing might help us solve our Owen puzzle. We decided to participate in the Owen DNA project that was founded by the Owen Family Association (http://www.geocities.com/~owenfamily/) and began the hunt for eligible males to test. Before I get to the results of the tests, I'll try to explain to the best of my understanding, in very basic terms, how these tests work. And I do mean basic, because a scientist I 'm not. DNA testing has been around for many years. As the cost became more reasonable in the past few years, it has become increasingly popular as a research tool for genealogists. While DNA testing has definite limitations, it can tell you several things: 1. Two or more people are genetically related. 2. Two or more people are not genetically related. 3. Give a time range of when a common ancestor occurred. 4. Help prove or disprove your genealogical research. Genealogy DNA testing will not tell you how you are related to a person or who the common ancestor was. It cannot prove or disprove paternity, nor does it test for genetic abnormalities or inherited disesases. The purpose of this type of DNA testing is to check for genealogical relationships only. There are two kinds of DNA testing used for genealogy purposes, Y-chromosome DNA testing for male lines and Mitochondria - DNA (mtDNA) testing for female lines. Y - chromosome testing is by far the more popular, and is what I will be referring to here when I speak of DNA testing. All human beings have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with 22 of the pairs being virtually the same. The 23rd pair is very different and determines our sex, one chromosome being inherited from the mother and the other from the father. Females carry two X-chromosomes while males carry an X and a Y. Since she has two X's, a mother is capable only of passing an X chromosome on to her child, but a father can pass either an X or a Y. Hence, the father determines the sex of the child. If one happens to inherit an X from the father, then one is a girl.(XX) If one inherits a Y from him, one is a boy. (XY) In a vast majority of cases, the Y - chromosome is passed from father to son throughout the generations in a family virtually unchanged. The Y - chromosome has identifiable segments of DNA with known genetic characteristics. These segments are known as Markers, and it is these Markers that Y - chromosome DNA testing examines. So then the Y - chromosome of every male is identical to his father, grandfather, and great - grandfather, right? Unfortunately, not always. On rare occasions a slight mutation or change occurs in the Y - chromosome. As long as this mutation is not incompatible with life and a male child is born, these changes subsequently become additional unique Markers of future male descendants. By studying and matching these Markers, or patterns, on the Y - chromosome, it is possible to determine if two males are genetically related. Since mutations occur at random and are impossible to predict, 181 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2007 there is a chance that two distant cousins may match exactly on all Markers, while two brothers may have a slight difference. It is also possible to determine at what point a mutation appeared in j a line, therefore DNA testing can only predict with a certain degree of probability how long ago a ^"^ common ancestor occurred. Y - chromosome tests must be performed on a male from an unbroken male genetic line. In our case, it was done on two males with the surname of Owen, from an unbroken line of male Owens descended from John W. Owen. There are many companies that do genetic testing, and the price varies quite a bit. The range can go from $99 for a basic 12 - Marker test to around $800 for a Super - DNA test which includes Y - chromosome and mt-DNA chromosome testing. For genealogy purposes, a 12, 25 or 37 marker test is usually sufficient ($100 - $190). The more Markers compared, the more specific the test and the higher the cost. When one joins a DNA surname project, one will be sent a kit consisting of two soft brushes, a tube and a bag. The brushes are used to swab the inside of the cheek to obtain some surface cells, then immediately placed in a sealed tube and mailed back. It usually takes 6 to 8 weeks for the test to be completed, at which time one will be notified of the results and if matches were found with other participants. One will be identified by a number only, and it is up to the person tested whether to make his information available to other researchers or keep it private. There were two main Owen groups that we were especially interested in, both with descendants in Jackson County. The first group is descended from John W. Owen (ca. 1797 - 1876) and Lavinia Parker. Their son Andrew Jackson Owen married Mary Ann McCall and established the Wolf Mountain Owen line. The second group is descended from Noah W. Owen (ca. 1809) and Lettie Belcher. Noah's son John H. Owen married Freelove Page Howard and also lived in the Canada section of Jackson County. Since they lived in the same remote area and frequently intermarried, many of us believed that these two Owen lines must somehow be related. John W. Owen and Noah Owen are the last proven descendants in their respective Owen lines. We were able to find two male descendants from both Owen lines who agreed to participate in the tests. (It is recommended that a minimum of two male descendants from a line be tested to establish a firm genetic pattern. In other words, to make sure you are who you think you are. There are occasional surprises in genetic testing and participants should be aware of this. One participant in the Bryson DNA project believed that he came from an unbroken line of male Brysons, but found that he is not genetically related to the Brysons at all. He was, however, a perfect DNA match with a tested Hooper line. Fortunately, our two males in each Owen line were perfect genetic matches to each other and successfully established a genetic pattern for each line. So what information did we learn from these tests? •The John W. Owen and John H. Owen lines are not genetically related. They are completely different Owen lines. This was of particular interest to one of our volunteers, because his grandfather was an Owen from the John H. Owen line and his grandmother an Owen from the John W. Owen line. •The John W. Owen line is a 12 out of 12 Marker match with the John Ransom Owen (1805 - 1891) line, whose descendants spread to Macon, Haywood, and Jackson counties as well as Rabun County, Georgia. According to a commercial company's DNA site, a 12 Marker match means that these two lines had a common ancestor and that there is a 50% chance that the common ancestor occurred within the last seven generations. u 182 c L . Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2007 •The John W. Owen line is a 12 out of 12 Marker and 24 out of 25 Marker match with Elijah Owen (1790 in Orange County, NC to 1877 in Cherokee County, GA). Again, both of these results indicate that these two lines had a common ancestor and that there is a 50% chance that the common ancestor occurred within the last seven generations. We have been in touch with the person tested for this line, and he believes (not proven) that Elijah's father was Peter Owen (ca. 1765 Lunenberg, VA to 1836 Henry County, TN). This Peter moved to Orange County, NC in the early 1780's and then on to Buncombe County about 1800. •The John W. Owen line is a 12 out of 12 Marker match with George Washington Owen (ca. 1856, AL). We have been in touch with the person tested from this line, but there is no earlier information on this George Washington Owen. This Owen was evidently raised and/or adopted by a family with a different surname. Research on this line will be difficult, to say the least. •The John W. Owen line is a 24 out of 25 Marker match for Thomas Owen (ca. 1829 Pickens District SC to 1899 MO). Once again, these results show that the John W. Owen line had a common ancestor with this Owen and that there is a 50% chance that the common ancestor occurred within the last seven generations. At this time, we have not made contact with the person who tested for this line. •We have learned that we are not related to at least 11 other tested Owen lines. To date, DNA testing has proved that the John W. Owen line is related to four other tested Owen lines. These are relationships of which we were previously unaware. It has given us new directions to concentrate our research, including possibly the state of Virginia. The test also ruled out the possibility of several other Owen lines being related to ours. DNA testing can be a valuable tool when used in conjunction with conventional genealogical research. While it probably won't tear down any brick walls, it can put a few chinks in the mortar! [Ed. We also have in the JCGS office a couple of pages handed out by Deanne Gibson Roles when she spoke to our group about DNA testing and genealogy. They are informative, but are also advertisements for a particular Internet group. We also have printed out a page from another online source concerning Hooper DNA testing. This is fascinating reading.] 183 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2007 M i n n i e ' s S c r a p b o o k KJ KJ [Ed. One never knows just what kind of treasures will tum up. JCGS member Ruth Ensley Bryson shared her mother - in - law's scrapbook with us. The latter was Minnie Foster Bryson, who lived in the village of Balsam. Minnie was the only child of Luther and Laura Parris Foster, and was the wife of Tom Bryson of Jackson County's Savannah community. Their son was Clifton Bryson, and Ruth is his widow. Ruth Bryson shared the scrapbook with Ruth Shuler, who had the whole thing copied by professional printers. Since there is no pagination, the page numbers are ours, and occasionally we might have events chronologically reversed. The materials in the scrapbook are old newspaper clippings, unless otherwise noted, and most were probably taken from The Waynesville Mountaineer.] P a g e 1 • A picture of Virgil O. Stamps • Mrs. Alora Barron's picture under the caption "Is 78 Today." The small article gives Mrs. Barron's home as Gay, and her parents as Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Ashe. Her children are also listed as Fred, Lym, Mrs. Nora Cable, Mrs. Bonnie Buchanan, Mrs. Anna Morgan, and Mrs. Mae Cabe. [Ed. The second son's name was "Leon," and this family pronounced this name with the emphasis on the first syllable, thus the error. • A small clipping, dated August 6, reporting the death of Mrs. Lyndon Dillard, age 31, of Sylva. Survivors were her husband, a son Bobby, an infant son, her mother (Mrs. Laura Kitchen), brothers Hayes, Paul, and Harlowe, and sisters Mrs. Ross Bennett, Mrs. Kelly Guthrie, and Mrs. Cynthia Brown. Burial was in Dillard Cemetery. {Ed. This would have been in 1941.] • Under a heading of "Funeral Will Be Held Today for Mrs. J.H. Morris," a story dated Nov. 13 reports the death of Mrs. Morris. It lists her children as J.H. Jr., Tom, and Mary Eugenia, her mother as Mrs. Eugenia Moore Allison, her sister as Mrs. Maurice Carlton, and her brother as Dan M. Allison. This burial was in Webster Cemetery. {Ed. This clipping would be from 1942.] • A picture title stating only "Five Generations." The caption is partially torn away, but since the picture shows the editor's own family, we can identify the following: the elderly lady was the great - great grandmother Adelaide Clayton Crawford, and she is holding her great - great granddaughter (now JCGS member Peggy Crawford Jones). The men on the back row are Allen Crawford (Peggy's father and the great - grandson of the picture), G.C. ("Chat") Crawford (the son) and P.J.

Born in Belfast, Ireland in 1884, he was the son of J.L. and Elizabeth Colville. He married Margaret Jane Reeves July 1, 1912. Children were Reeves, Jimmy, Bobby, Sammy, Johnny, Elizabeth, and Margaret Jane. Burial was to be in Bryson City. P a g e 2 [Ed. This page is exclusively military. Only two of the clippings do not have accompanying photographs.] • Entitled "McLain Brothers Were On San Francisco," the first article relates that George McLain and John McLain, machinist mates in the navy, were visiting in Sylva with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred McLain. The article states that the brothers were "eye-witnesses to Pearl Harbor." [Ed. At the Sylva High School reunion, we were privileged to meet John McLain. We mentioned this article to him, and his response: "That was just after they shot the hell out of us at Guadalcanal." Thanks to people like John McLain, the Japanese did not prevail.] • In "Grant Promoted to Staff Sergeant," a brief article states that Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Grant of Bryson City had heard from their son, Donald Grant, who had informed them of his promotion. Sgt. Grant was "somewhere in the Pacific." • "Pvt. Wood Now at Portsmouth, N.H." relates that Pvt. Earl H. Wood, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. H.B. Wood of Canada township, was now at Camp Langdon.

You can hear him raging and cursing for miles and this is often too. I can stand behind all I've said and wish you would make an investigation. Yours truly, [Ed. One of the best times of the summer was the Sylva Central High School reunion, held on the last Saturday in July. Many of the steering committee were JCGS members, including Ruth Shuler, who chaired the committee, and Rachel Phillips, who thought up the whole thing. Other very involved JCGS members were Wilburn Ashe, Mary Katherine Lowder, Frank Crawford, Mary Ellen Moody, and Gene McClure. Approximately 600 people showed up, ate lunch, reminisced, laughed, cried, and promised to do it again. The school was open from the fall of 1924 until the spring of I960.] [Ed. Speaking of schools in Sylva, JCGS member Peggy Crawford Jones donated a book to the Society. It is a Bible, presented to the Sylva High School by the class of 1922. On the second flyleaf is a list of names that we take to be the members of the class. They are as follows: Mary Allison, Wilma Allison, Guy Buchanan, Da Bumgarner, Mary Candler, Theodore Dills, Margaret Freeze, Edith Geisler, Katie McKee, Blanche Collins, and Leon Picklesimer. Is this in fact the class of 1922? Note that this was not Sylva Central High School, but rather its predecessor.] [Ed.
