The Society accepts no advertising for this publication except for notices for other non-profit groups. From the Editor Well, it's certainly different composing the journal from the comfort (?) of one's living room, but we suppose that one little adjustment or two won't hurt anybody. The move out of the former office went smoothly and in unbelievably swift time. Many thanks to James Monteith, Jason Gregory, Bill Crawford, . —-. Sam Beck, Harry and Dollie Bumgarner, Bud Cantrell, Rick Frizzell, David Frizzell, Ruth Shuler, Jason's ^_J cousin Ben Robinson, and a small little plug for grand - nephew Benjamin Brown, who decided to play with the broom and sweep the floor. Others were willing: members Ken Nicholson and Sam Shuler offered to help also, but other commitments kept them away. Most of us then had a piece of cake and a cup of coffee together before an executive committee meeting. We trust that the present issue is up to par. We want to get this one out early, because onr move is still pending, and we need to conserve time and energy. Thanks to Jason Gregory, Perry Sutton, Harold Ensley, Grover and Ernestine Jones, Jean Brown, Ruth Shuler, Betty Queen Monteith, Libby Brooks Knight, Larry C. Farley, and to all of the members who participated in the program about old tools. AH of these folks have been instrumental, in one way or another, with the issue now before you. The Macon cemetery book is selling well, and we are hopeful of a second volume before 2011 is over. But we don't want to get the cart before the horse. Happy springtime and happy reading.

In Memoriam We dedicate this issue to the memory of JCGS member Neil Irvin Baumgartner, who recently passed away at the age of 94. Neil was walking proof that one did not need to be loud, talkative, and aggressive to live a successful life. When he was physically able, Neil would make the drive over from Candler to be with us monthly, and when he became unable to do so, we missed him at our meetings. Neil participated in one of our Patriot Issues several years ago, relaying his World War H experiences. We hope that he was able to see that many of his Bumgarner questions had been answered before his passing, and we express our sympathy to his family. Our New Home Construction moves forward on the new Jackson County library, Old Courthouse complex. We are still looking at a potential late - spring move. 49 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2011 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m KJ • ,-.>.••• .jiS.l&F. ' : •'. ••?•••-'iM • ;;••"• • v ; , ' ; ^ Jk : .

It was identified as "Baxter Nations and wife, Vivian age 2." Could this picture, as well as the first one on the next page, belong to Mrs. Clara Franklin or one of her daughters? Vivian Nations was Mrs. Franklin's father. What is the building in the background?

At the February JCGS meeting (the last one to be held at the office we had occupied for thirteen years) five JCGS members brought tools and implements mostly from the past. The meeting was one of the most informative (and certainly one of the funniest) gatherings that we have ever had. One can see in the picture below that there are several tables loaded with everything from froes to a bark spud to an antique tool chest. The members explained the uses of many of these tools and implements. The entire program (except for the very last few minutes) was recorded by JCGS member Jason Gregory, who submits representative pictures and text for this article.] Bill Crawford (pictured): "This is a Collins axe. You see how long they are and how thin they are. That's 'cause t h e y ' r e for chopping leads in trees. Can you imagine how long it would t a k e to chop a lead in a t r e e t h a t is as big t h r o u g h as one of these tables here? " I ' v e always been interested in axes 'cause not too many people these days know much about them. If they need to cut a t r e e they use a power saw. They might use an axe to bust a little kindling." (Not pictured) "This one is a Sager axe, a p r e t t y p o p u l a r b r a n d . They dated their axes. This one says Sager Chemical Axe 1946." 55 Journeys Tfirough Jackson Spring 2011 ^J Rick Frizzell (pictured): "This is a hand auger for boring holes. If you have seen old barns with hand - hewn timbers in it, they were usually put together with tree nails or wooden pegs. You would use this type of auger for anything that needed a fairly large hole." R.O. Wilson: "Sled runners!" Rick: "Of course you can see it took a fair bit of elbow grease to use." (Not pictured) "This one is handmade. I don't know who made it. I was talking to Sam about it before we got started. This was my grandfather's uncle Sherman Deitz's froe. He split boards and shingles with it, and I 'm not sure why Grandpa ended up with it, but Dad said he remembered Uncle Sherman coming over to build a barn for Grandpa, and aside from the posts and poles that were put up, they were pretty much square timbers or round timbers, but all the boards and shingles had been split with that froe." "What I don't have is...who had brought the maul?" James Monteith: "I did." (hands maul to Rick) Rick: "It looks like this one has been used a time or two." James: "Yeah, it has." Rick: "Did you use it, or did it get used on you?" James: "Neither one." Rick: "Well, I didn't know if maybe a hit or two on the head." yj ^y 56 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2011 C James Monteith (pictured): "This I use every day in cruising timber. This is what they call a Biltmore stick. What you do to use the thing it's got the diameter of the tree, and you'll hold this out just like... let's pretend that Dorris is a big old tree." (Everyone laughing as James holds the stick in front of Dorris Beck) "What this stick does is if you hold it out at arm's length in front of the tree, let's say it's a 22-inch, then I would put it down in my tally book and have to compute how much board feet there was on a tract of land." James Monteith holding up an old blow pot 57 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2011 James Monteith: "This is an old blow pot. Now I've got a real tale to tell with this. My Daddy...I found this thing and took it to my dad and he said, 'What are you going to do?' I said 'I want to see if it will work.' "Well, he wouldn't let me try it (I was just a young man), he held it in his arms just like this and he smoked then and he was trying to start it, and he had it turned up wide open and he had a beard similar to mine and that thing caught afire and burnt his beard plumb off his face." u (General and loud laughter) "I remember him standing around tossin' it around, he didn't want to throw it down 'cause he was afraid it would blow up. He said, 'Don't you try that again son, don't you ever try that again.' I said 'I ain't a going to, daddy." (James demonstrates the burning of the beard) ^y James: " R.O., it's your turn now. Do you want me just to hold the things up and you can talk about it from back there?" R.O.: "What time is it? Let's get out of here." KJ 58 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2011 C R.O. Wilson: (pictured) "I brought a couple of old grabs and a grabskip and one thing and another." "This is a J grab. You would drive this into one log at the end, and drive the other end into the other log, and right here you can hook your horse here in this guinea horn they call it, and if your logs are starting to run, you can pull your horse into a J hold they call it, and as they went by, your hook would slip off and go on." Sam Beck: "Hold that up so every one back here can see what you're talking about!" R.O.: "Well, I can hold it up if they want to look at the lowdown thing. This is called a little rabbit J. They had bigger and longer ones too." (Not pictured) "This here's a draw knife, it's got one handle on it. I only remember seeing one handle on it all these years. That thing is a hundred and fifty years old, every bit of it. It belonged to my Grandfather Wilson. He was a Civil War veteran, and that was his, and it's been there at home all these years. I asked Dad, I said, 'Dad, where'd you get that?' He said, 'That was Dad's.' So I was guessing a hundred and fifty years, I might be wrong. Boy, that thing's sharp." 59 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2011 u Jason Gregory: (Pictured) "I brought in the tools that were used to make wooden water pipes. Now this pump auger is about seven feet long, and well, it could bore through a log that is seven feet or less. It was mainly used to drill to the center of a 14-foot log. These wooden water pipes were buried from the spring head and were locked together in a taper lock joint at the ends. They ran to the springhouse and other places needing water. These buried underground pipes would last 50 or 60 years. \ y R.O.: "Water sealed!" Ruth Shuler: "Jason, tell them about that document about that auger." Jason: Well, this is at least as old as my third great-grandfather W.A. Robinson. In his father's 1853 estate record, it lists 'one seven-foot auger.' So his father had passed pipe-making skills on to his son. In W.A.'s 1896 will, he leaves 'to my son Ephraim my pump auger and handsaw.' I found the auger in Ephraim's abandoned house in the attic over one hundred years later." [Ed. Jason went on to demonstrate how he had used the auger, and brought samples of logs that he had attempted to convert into water pipes. The drilling, not easy work, sometimes resulted in the auger not going exactly where it was meant to go. The results were also very humorous, especially when Jason admitted that the tiresome work led to his using a large spade bit hooked to a 36" extension used in an electric drill.] ^ 60 Journeys Through Jackson S p r i n g 2011 C 1 8 8 0 J a c k s o n C o u n t y C e n s u s [Ed.

At times, a number seems to have been omitted completely. 02) In family 24-29, the son Alden L. Beck would become the ancestor of the large Scotts Creek family of that surname. 03) We find it interesting that both "Gipson" and "Gibson" were employed as spellings of that surname. 04) In family 38-43, the Robert Ensley family would eventually live in Union County, Georgia. Both he and his wife were members of large Scotts Creek (and later Sylva) families. 05) In family 46-54, Wallace Ward was married to Sarah Parris, a sister of Robert Ensley's wife Martha. Both were daughters of James Parris and his wife Amy McEntire. KJ 66 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2011 C F r o m J a c k s o n C o u n t y t o t h e G o v e r n o r ' s M a n s i o n [Ed. In the decade 1910 - 1920, two states elected governors whose grandparents were Jackson County people. Following will be a short genealogical account of the two statesmen.] G o v e r n o r H o o p e r o f T e n n e s s ee In the 1850 Federal Census for Macon County, North Carolina, House # 759, Family # 774, John Hooper is shown as age 67, wife Margaret 57, James 23, Thomas 21, Henry A. 18, Jemima 16, and Lemuel 11. These children are actually among the youngest of twelve children born to John and Margaret. (An ongoing argument about the paternity of the John Hooper above led to lineal descendant Wendell Hooper's fascinating theory that the family's name is actually Burke. That is another story, but one can read Wendell's Hooper Genealogy for the details.) In Jackson County Heritage, Volume I, Article #834, F. Lambert Hooper mentions that "Lemuel's son, Ben Hooper, was governor of Tennessee." In Jackson County Heritage, Volume H, Article #409, Jane Gibson Nardy approached Governor Hooper's story from the standpoint of Sarah Emmalissa Norton, his stepmother and one of the Cashiers - area Nortons. Ben Walter Wade, alias Ben Walter Hooper, wrote his entire story in his autobiography Tlte Unwanted Boy. [Ed.

Among the listings was the birthdate of E.D. Brendle (30 Jun 1814). On 3 Nov 1838, he married "Salinda" Plott in Haywood County. In the 1850 Haywood County, North Carolina Federal Census, House #1089, Family #1116, Elias "Brindle" is shown as age 36, wife Salinda as 35, Margaret 11, Mary 9, Sarah 8, Salinda 6, Lucinda 4, and Henry 8/12. Jackson County Heritage, Volume I, Article #236 concentrates on the Elias David Brendle - Celinda Varner Plott family. Genealogists Jim and Vivian Woolley mention in this article that the oldest daughter, "Margaret Caroline married Jehu Ammons 19 Sep 1859...son Elias ..., Governor Colorado 1913 - 1915 and grandson Teller, Colorado Governor 1937 - 1939." The 1870 Macon County Federal Census lists JJL Ammons as a farmer, age 32, with his wife Margaret C , age 30, and children Elias M. (9), Theodocia (8), Ferby H. (7), and Mary A.J. (5). According to information found at Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, Elias Milton Ammons lived 28 Jul 1860 - 20 May 1925. He was elected the 19th Governor of Colorado in 1913. The Ludlow Massacre occurred during his term in office, and according to this source, "he is perhaps best remembered for ordering National Guard troops into Ludlow, Colorado..." Ammons was a Democrat. V^/ Elias Milton Ammons, Colorado Governor 1913 - 1915, and grandson of Elias David and Celinda Plott Brendle of the Sylva area of Jackson County. [Ed.

On a recent trip to Raleigh and the North Carolina State Archives, JCGS member Jason Gregory secured copies of failed petitions to create a new county.] To the Honorable General Assembly of the State of North Carolina The undersigned memorialists, citizens of the counties of Macon and Haywood and state aforesaid beg leave respectfully to request your honorable body in order to remedy their inconveniences to pass a law authorizing the formation of a new county out of parts of the said counties of Macon and Haywood to include the following boundaries. Beginning in the fork of Tennessee and Tuckasega Rivers thence with the main dividing ridge that divides the waters of said rivers to the top of Cowee Mountain where the state, road crosses it. Thence with the said dividing ridge between the waters of the said Tennessee and Tuckasega Rivers to the top of the Blue Ridge. Thence with the top of that ridge to Ellicott's Rock, the corner of the states of North and South Carolina. Thence with the line that divides the states eastward to the corner of Macon County on said line. Thence with the line of Macon County to where it intersects the line of Haywood County. Thence with the line of Haywood County to the Hog Back Mountain. Thence with the dividing ridge between the head waters of French Broad and Tuckasega rivers. Thence with the dividing ridge between the head waters of Tuckasega and Pigeon rivers to the top of the mountain where the state road crosses it between the head branches of Scotts Creek and Richland. Thence with the main dividing ridge that divides the waters of Richland from those of Tuckasega river to where the public road crosses it near the head branches of Soco and Jonathans Creek. Thence with the dividing ridge that divides the head waters of Oconalufta from those of Cattalucha Creek to the Tennessee line. Thence with the Tennessee line westward to a point due north from the beginning in the forks of Tennessee and Tuckasega rivers. Thence due south to the beginning. And we further recommend Jackson as a suitable name for the county. And that the law confine the location of the town to the state road between Andrew Copes and the Tuckasega river. And your memorialists as in duty bound will ever pray.

The bill was formally introduced and read, then sent to committee.] The Committee on Propositions and Grievances to whom was referred "A Bill to lay off and establish a new County by the name of Jackson" and accompanying memorials having had the same under consideration, report the Bill to the Senate and recommend its rejection. The Bill proposes to cut off territory from the two Counties of Haywood and Macon for the establishment of this new county to be called Jackson, and by refering (sic) to a Report from a Select Committee made to the House of Commons and printed for the use of the legislature on the subject of Population and Statistics since we have been in session, it will be perceived that neither of these counties has now the one hundred and twentieth part of the federal population of the state, and consequently the new county if established must fall far below that ratio entitleing to representation in the more branch of the Legislature.

Brooks.] ] y j ^ W t : ' • v 3 ^ & £ % :-: ? 4 ' Above, the loyalty oath of Simpson H. Brooks, who was married to Margaret Elizabeth Parris. They were the parents of Eva E. Brooks Buchanan, William Thomas Brooks, John W. Brooks, James Ellis Brooks, Swanson M. Brooks, Rhoda Cordelia Brooks Estes, Isaac Hester Brooks, Coleman Brooks, and Samuel E. Brooks. If one knows these families, one can see large numbers of descendants in the Old Savannah, Dillsboro, and Barkers Creek sections. Below, a more unusual document, also dated 15 J u n 1865, and detailing that Simpson H. Brooks was to be provided transportation from the infamous Camp Douglas to Knoxville. 77 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2011 ^y Members, if you should see a place that you recognize, please let us know. I.H. Brooks was a construction foreman on the railroad that was built from Asheville to Murphy. The rather elaborate trestle construction above is obviously close to a town visible in the background. Below, a more rural setting. By looking closely, one can see two men standing waist-deep in the water. w \ J 78 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2011 .*&% c In the top picture, we assume that this is a work crew standing beside another mode of transportation. We are especially interested in the bottom photograph, because one can easily perceive a double span on the bridge and possibly a third being constructed. This would be in some place where the river was very wide. Could it be near Almond, where several rivers come together? 79 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2011 O On the back of this picture, parts of six 2-cent stamps still adhere after more than one hundred and five years. One postmark is from Japan dated 6 Jun 1905. The picture was addressed to I.H. Brooks at Topton, then on June 9 was forwarded to Dillsboro. (For those uninitiated with Western North Carolina geography, Japan (pronounced "Jay-pan") was a Swain County community that did not survive the construction of Fontana.) Below, one of the engines. \ J V J 80 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2011 C ^sP^^Sfejff^ ^ We wanted to keep this picture in its full size. It also shows part of the train engine, but this time after a train wreck at Topton. On the back of the picture, "1938" is written, so we assume that the accident occurred in that year. This picture is considerably newer than the others, and is printed on more modern glossy photograph paper. Anyone recognize the three men? 81 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2011 \ y Before her marriage to Isaac Hester Brooks, Mary Ida Messer was married to Seth C. Russell. The baby pictures are their children. At the left above, Fred Russell, at the right, Margie Russell pills). Below, Lionel Russell. Of the three, only Fred (1901 - 1988) made his home in Jackson County. He is buried at Love's Chapel UMC Cemetery.

F a r l e y [Ed. We were pleased to receive a clarification concerning a question we asked about a name in the 1880 census as it appeared in our last issue. JCGS member Larry C. Farley of Signal Mountain, Tennessee, wrote that the "Levicy Bumgarner" on page 31 was Louvisa Emiline Farley Bumgarner. We had asked if she were connected to the Henry Bumgarner family, and of course she was the widow of one of the sons of Henry Bumgarner and Phoebe Kilby. When we received the note, we wrote back to ask for other Farley materials. The response was a packet of Farley genealogy. We will begin this family by concentrating on one older ancestor who-actually stayed in Jackson County.
