Lawrence Morton Librarian Dorris D. Beck Office Manager Ruth C. Shuler Computer Coordinator. DeanneG. 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 We see no reason to belabor the following points: we are in drought conditions, we pay cruel prices at the gas pump, and we see few plausible reasons why everyone doesn't do genealogy. Know what? We might as well get over it. We can't change those things. We can, however, give credit where it's due for this publication. Read the following list: Henry Buchanan, Walter Middleton, Sanji Talley Watson, Jim Crawford, Steve Adams, Christine Cole Proctor, Jason Gregory, Violet Robbins Schultz, Linda Hughes Collins, Betty Cope Andrews, Barbara Dills Bishop, Bill Crawford, Mack Sutton, Dorris Dills Beck, Deanne Gibson Roles, Ruth Crawford Shuler, Rachel Brown Phillips, and Ruth Ensley Bryson. Those eighteen fine folks, along with your editor, have something to do with this journal this time. And those are just the members. Former members Robert Brooks and Dillard Ensley were also instrumental, as well as friends like Nancy Briggs Kiser. We appreciate all of you. The pedigree charts for JCGS member Hattie Grace Sherrill and for William Dillard Cope were prepared and submitted by Betty Cope Andrews. There was no room on the pages to insert Betty's name. So see? Genealogy isn't in any drought at all. We are running strong. v j 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 / ^J ^J Journeys.

One in the "Images of America" series, the book has JCGS member Rachel Brown Phillips as a major contributor". Watch the local newspaper for more details. C < H e n r y B u c h a n a n ' s I d ea We received a message from Henry in May, then we were privileged to see him at a Society meeting in July. Henry has started a site on Ancestry.com called "Families of Jackson County NC." He asks persons to add family data there, and one can get more details from Henry by writing him at PO Box 850 Pembroke NC 28372 or electronically at hbnchanan(g>jname.com. This is ambitious, but should be very interesting.

The picture above is of Jasper Dills, a man who lived close to Dillsboro and who is buried there in the small cemetery in the field near the Locust Field Baptist Church. The photo is shared with JCGS by his great - great granddaughter, Nancy Briggs Kiser of Cary.

" ^ We are pleased to spotlight the family of a new member on this page. JCGS member Jim Crawford of Atlanta spent an evening with JCGS this past spring, joined our group, and has contributed the photograph above. The picture shows the Samuel Madison Crawford family of Jackson, Swain, and Cherokee counties. Samuel Madison Crawford, at the left, was a son of William H. Crawford, who in turn was a son of James Crawford, whose Bible record we published in these pages a few years ago. Seated next to him is his wife, Cynthia Masina Hyde Crawford, then daughter Cynthia Rose Lee and son Benjamin Pearl. Standing in the back are son Samuel Gordon, son James Powell, daughter Lillie Florence, and son William Lawson. While Jim has a number of relatives in JCGS, he would be one step closer kin to Karen Nicholson and Linda Collins (descendants of John, half-brother to William H.) and to Al Hooper and Annette Shelton (descendants of Lucinda (Senthey) Minerva, h a l f - sister to William H.) than to the other Crawfords. However, since William H. Crawford's wife was a Hemphill, and since Cynthia Masina Hyde's mother was a Sherrill...you get the picture. Jim has an cnormons number of relatives among us. 99 Journeys Through Jackson Summer 2008 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m ^J <- - * "its v J New JCGS member Steve Adams contributes the pictures on this page.

Liza Melinda was a daughter of David Tom and Rutha Mills. She was first married to Joel Andrew Johnson, son of Melvina Johnson. They were married 21 August 1887 and had the following children: Vernon, Florence, Janie, Thomas Garland, Rutha Mae, and Bertha. Later when she married Henry Floyd Hooper, her Johnson children all went under the name of Hooper. Henry Floyd Hooper was the son of Samuel Hooper, son of James Hooper, son of Absalom Hooper.

It can be, however, a-good starting point and a valuable reference, as well as a means to bring a more rounded aspect to the stories of persons long - deceased. Many times an individual died without a will, and while the names mentioned in an estate* record are usually not identified as family members, the researcher is at least given a departure point for further research. This Wilson family is well-documented already, but the estate file is an interesting one. The family is not the Savannah Wilsons, but is the Cashiers - Glenville Wilsons. The file was copied at the North Carolina State Archives by Deanne Gibson Roles.
