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 arc not those of the editor or of the Jackson County Genealogical Society. The Society accepts co advertising for this publication except for notices for other non-profit groups. From the Editor The Jackson County Arts Council indoor yard sale has come and gone, and we participated vigorously. We had a good day, if awfully tiring for some of our loyal volunteers. Other good days have been in the evenings when our group meets on the second Thursday. Our attendance has been a little down, but we attribute that to the fact that everyone stays so busy. v_y We trust that the membership will not find this issue top-heavy. We seem to have a lot of photographs this time over and above our regular-feature Photo Album. AH phases of genealogy are interesting, so read and enjoy the work of your fellow Society members. Many thanks this time to Beau Allen Hudgins, Ruth Crawford Shuler, R.O. Wilson, Mack Sutton, cousin Mark Blanton, Sue Gunnells Phillips, Rachel Brown Phillips, Betty Cope Andrews, Bill Crawford, Barbara Shelton Smith, Barbara Dills Bishop, Elizabeth Moss Wilson, Dorris Dills Beck, and Deanne Gibson Roles. AH have, in some way, contributed to this issue.

Mary Katherine Sherrill Lowder received the Robert Lee and Drusilla Holden Award for distinguished service to genealogy. Mary Katherine compiled The Robert Lee Holden Family with Allied Lines of Norton and Taylor and along with her Sherrill first cousins and her sister Nancy Sherrill Wilson, completed publication of The William Robert Sherrill and Mary Cowan Sherrill Family. Mary Katherine has also contributed in many other ways to our society, both with genealogy and with other support. The Daniel Washington Deitz Memorial Award, for service to the Jackson County Genealogical Society itself, was presented to James Monteith. Always finding old pictures, volunteering at the Society office, doing many unnoticed jobs, James also serves the Society as its president. We are pleased to recognize them again here. I n S y m p a t hy We dedicate this issue of Journeys Through Jackson to the memory of Pauline Dean Ensley, Helen Davis Cooper, and Regenia Pannell Fisher. We offer our sympathy to their families. We also send condolences to JCGS members Alvin Middleton, Ronald Haskett, Pearl Smith, and Clyde Phillips, all of whom have recently lost family members. 49 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m v_7 The picture above shows Leah Rachel Bryson Sutton, daughter of Hamilton and Agnes Matilda Wilson Bryson. This is the photograph Beau Hudgins sent to Leah Sutton Heinz some years ago, (reference; p. 70). V_v In this picture, we show just how much fun genealogy can be. The baby in the photograph is Erline Murray, and she is being held by Ruth Choate, who sent the picture to Ruth Shuler in response to a query in the Grand Junction, Colorado, newspaper. Erline Murray's mother was Byrda Bolton, whose mother was Winifred Cockerham, whose father Jesse Chandler Cockerham left (in the 1840's) what would become Jackson County a few years later. \ J 50 Journeys Through Jackson S p r i n g 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m A three-brothers photograph from the Speedwell community of Cullowhee. On the left is Thomas Cleveland Wilson, father of JCGS member R.O. Wilson; standing is Bub Enos Wilson; on the right is Oscar Wilson, grandfather of new JCGS member Claude Wilson of Oroville, California. All of these three men were sons of Enos and Elizabeth Bennett Wilson. Below, an image of the funeral card of their first cousin Robert Archaelus Wilson (1863 - 1887). The card is printed on heavy card stock, and was in the possession of Leah Sutton Heinz. 51 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m -'. ' i . ' r • The photograph above shows Jeremiah (Jerry) Hensley (Feb. 1848 - 3 Oct 1928) and his wife Margaret Ingabo Quilliams Hensley (20 Oct 1846 - 7 Oct 1913). They are buried at Locust Field Cemetery. • ^ 52 Journeys Through Jackson S p r i n g 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m C (See next page) 53 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m We used the photograph on the previous page in Volume I of Jackson County Heritage. In 2007 cousin Mark Blanton of Rome, Georgia, sent another (much larger) copy of the picture. We believe that it shows a singing school because the man seated (or stooped) in the center is the editor's paternal great - grandfather Crawford. He would have been one of the instructors of the school. We have always believed that the picture represented persons from the Ochre Hill, Cane Creek, and Wayehutta communities. All of those communities were closer - connected in another time than they are today, because major paved roads don't go through Cracking Chestnut Gap. Mark identifies the fourth kneeling child from the left as Harley Shuler. Just behind him, and dressed in white, would be his older sister Bessie, who married Erastus Blanton. She is holding Winford, their oldest child. Bessie and Erastus were Mark's grandparents. The other woman holding a baby is Emiline Watson Shuler, holding Annie Belle. On the extreme right in the middle row would possibly be Edward Shuler. We are guessing that identity from another photograph. The man standing third from the left in the middle row is Edd Norman, and is the maternal grandfather of the editor, Ruth Shuler, and Jean Brown. (We are his only grandchildren.) He was an outstanding tenor singer, and would have provided contrast to some of these Shulers, who were among the best bass singers we ever heard. On the back row, either that man is standing on something, or he is one of the tallest men who ever lived around here. With this photograph, we would ask JCGS member Ernestine Jones to see if her father (LaFayette or ' T a t e " Shuler) is identifiable, and we would request the same of JCGS member Harold Ensley, requesting if can find his grandmother Sadie Blanton, who was also one of these Shulers from Cane Creek. Needless to say, we would welcome any other identifications. Since we have concentrated on the Bob Shuler family here, wouldn't it be reasonable to assnme that Rachel Shuler Blanton and Jerdie Shuler Morgan are two of the young girls here? And Mark is of the opinion that Johnny Shuler is just in front of his mother Emiline. We would guess that this picture was made about 1912 or 1913. ^f ^J 54 Journeys Through Jackson S p r i n g 2009 W o r l d W a r I I C l i p p i n g s [Ed.

Sue is the daughter of a Blackwood employee.] Above, Blackwood employees. Bethel Gunnells, Sue's father, is in front center in shirtsleeves and heavy gloves. At one time he was a blacksmith for the company. Below, some of the employee housing at the mill. 59 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2009 The picture above is a real classic. It shows the company bus, which ran on the railroad tracks and carried passengers to Cullowhee Normal School and also up Caney Fork. Mr. Gunnells drove the bus. In this photograph, the two men on the left are unidentified, the other three are Ed Hooper, Jim Potts, and Bethel Gunnells. Gunnells was from Athens, Georgia, but when he met Sue's mother, he stayed forever. She rode the bus to classes at the normal school, now of course Western Carolina University. Below, the lumber company's train. It is a Shay locomotive, a 3-piston machine with a geared side drive for power to ascend steep grades.

[Above, the first part of the personal affidavit of Shelton. Obviously, the important genealogy of this is that it gives his wife's maiden name, the date and place of their marriage, and the date of her death, which we read as 1890, but which might be 1892. The next question for us would be to inquire exactly where Fidelity was in the Canada community.

When Leah Sutton Heinz died, a collection of her genealogy papers was donated to the Society. We have perused those and have found some small items which may be of help to researchers.] 3/29,1932 RU3 Box 77 Phoenix Arizona Dear Shiref Webster NC I would like to know the post office address of the names that I am mailing you if any of them are still living. Marion Dills, Allen Dills, Thomas Dills, John Dills They are my uncles I am the oldest son of Henry Jasper Dills their brother. Yours truly W.H.P. Dills, better known to them as Preston Dills I would be pleased to know if any of them are still a living. R#3 Box 77 Phoenix Arizona Ed. The uncles to whom Dills refers are the sons of Bartlett Dills J r . Alfred Marion Dills was the son of Bartlett J r . and his second wife Ellender Parris; Allen Bartlett Dills and Thomas Dills were sons of Bartlett Dills J r . and his third wife Esther Harris; John Albert Dills was the son of Bartlett Dills J r . and his fourth wife Fanny Gibson. The author of the letter was not much younger than some of the uncles, and was older than John. His father Henry Jasper Dills would have been the son of Bartlett Dills J r . and his first wife. Leah Heinz descended from John Albert Dills and his wife Laura Lucinda Wilson. Dear Leah...I think it is you that Larry Crawford told me about & I gave him a picture of Leah Rachel Bryson to give to you.. .Sincerely, Beau Hudgins Ed. See p. 50 The son Wiley b. 1823 md V Jimmie or Jinnie Gibson pos. a sister to Fannie. They had a home near the entrance of Smoky Mt Park. Jimmie died and Wiley married Sarah Hughes (d ofAsoph) who had been md 1st to Avery Bradley... Ed. The above was in a letter from the late Maisie Queen Young, presumably to Leah but possibly to Harry Ensley J r . She refers to Wiley Parris and his first wife Jane Gibson. With a little work on our part, we see that Fanny Dills (fourth wife of Bartlett Dills J r . ) and Jane Parris were sisters, daughters of John Gibson and his wife Sarah Messer. Dear Cousin; Just a note — again I call on your kindness. Do you know anything of the Brown family from Tuckasegee section? Milton Montgomery Brown's mother was Fannie Wilson born 1803 dau of one Richard Wilson & Penelope Stoner...Richard Wilson was from Rutherford Co NC I wondered if he was a bro of Wm Wilson born 1775 & of Sally Wilson Martin...As ever Lawrence Ed. The above is a small excerpt from a letter from the late Lawrence Wood to Leah's mother Anna Laura Dills Sutton. In it he mentions the "other" Richard Wilson, a man who lived in the Cullowhee section rather than the Savannah community. While we can't attest to the veracity of all of this, it certainly makes for interesting reading. If his statement about Mrs. Brown is true, then the children of both men named Richard Wilson were being born about the same time period. 70 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2009 D e s c e n d a n t s o f J o h a n n e s R i s c h [Ed.

He was married to Prudence Rogers, shown here, and a sister to Rebecca Rogers Messer. •u 82 Jojxrneys Through Jackson Spring 2009 Above, yet another of the Rogers girls. This time it's Ann, with her husband William A. Dills and daughter Leona. These are also Barbara's great - grandparents, this time on her father's side. Barbara regrets that the photograph is slightly smudged, but we are glad to have this one too. (William A. Dills is multiple kin to many of us, being a son of Marion Dills and Leila Ensley Dills) Below, James A.

One humorous item that caught our eye was an old newspaper account (in 1939, we believe) of the residents of Balsam petitioning to secede from Jackson County so as to be annexed to Haywood County.
