Roles Chair, Publications (Editor) & 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 One would have been seriously deprived of the senses not to have enjoyed our Christmas party in - N December. From the taste of delicious food prepared and brought in by Society members, to hearing Ken ^_J Nicholson's readings, and singing along with Kim Shuler to Christmas favorites (as well as her outstanding rendition of "Ave Maria," in German, no less), we had a wonderfully good time. Because of some unforeseen circumstances, we needed to postpone our annual meeting until January, but we accomplished that too. In addition to your editor, look at the following: Jason Gregory, James Monteith, Everett and Elizabeth Wilson, Betty Cope Andrews, Barbara Shelton Smith, Don Camby, Harry Bumgarner, Ida Thompson Trantham, Ruth Crawford Shuler, Betty Painter Foti, Bill Crawford, Mack Sutton, Larry Morton, and the late Willa Mae Scroggs. All of these members contributed in some way to the publication you are reading, and we would also recognize Lloyd Cowan and Jacqueline Burgin Painter, as well as Lynn Hotaling, for their contributions. Thanks to all, and may their work inspire all of us to work diligently for the Society. One way for everyone to help: Involve yourself and your talents in our fundraising efforts.

Not only was she one of our members, but she had generously shared materials for this publication or just for our edification. To say that she was thorough is a vast understatement, and whether all persons agreed with her was never an issue with Naomi. At her funeral service, her sister Lois Hooper Ensley gave a sweet and very moving tribute to Naomi. She had lived in Alaska for many years, but she and Jack are buried here in the cemetery at Addie. Our sympathy goes to their daughter and son, RLC In one issue of The Sylva Herald a few weeks ago, we were also forced to say goodbye to two women who were important members of our Society prior to their contracting illnesses that took them away from our group. Leah Sutton Heinz was a faithful worker on Volume I of our Heritage book, and Mary Cecil Bryson Patterson was recognized for her contributions in our Volume U . We will miss Leah's sense of humor and her remarkable memory, and we will miss Mary Cecil's phone calls, always trying to stay current with Society happenings. May both of these ladies have wonderful reunions in a better place, RLC C Since our last publication, a number of our members have been touched by this sad reality. We offer our sympathy to Bill Crawford, Helen Miller Wood, Linda Miller Duncan, Sanji Talley Watson, Carolyn Deitz Johnson, and Everett Wilson, all of whom have lost family members recently. Harsh as all of it seems, it is easier for people of faith, RLC Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b um KJ v_> This picture of the Washington Robinson family has been used many times through the years, but it is such a classic that it never hurts to show it again. The folks are all showing some variety of mountain family traditions. On the back row, Margaret is pointing to a loom, Rachel showing a hand missing fingers lost in a cane mill, William Jeff holding an apple over a cider mill, James with a monkey wrench, and David with a maul. In the front, Harriett is at a spinning wheel, Alcedona is carding, and Lousina is knitting. Photograph submitted by JCGS member Jason Gregory; who is a direct descendant of Alcedona. v_y Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2009 C J C G S P h o t o A l b u m The photograph above is alikeness of Reuben Calvin Conner and his first wife Margaret Messer (15 Jun 1839 - 5 Jun 1894). Conner later married Martha Jane Davis. Picture submitted by Jason Gregory, from photographs owned by Shirley Ensley, daughter - in - law of Georgia Wilkey Ensley. Below, from the same collection, a rather large tree. L Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b um KJ \ J Now this is one interesting photograph. The man standing at the far left is not identified, but the other man standing is "Uncle Tom" Woody. We would surmise that there was no racist intent here by the use of "Uncle." The elderly man seated is John Quincy Adams Woody, then Western Woody, followed by the little boy Walker Woody, and finally Harriet Woody, who is holding the baby girl Persia Woody. This photo is submitted by JCGS President James Monteith, courtesy of Bruce Rish. Bruce is a direct descendant of Walker Woody. Below, a man and his friend getting in some stove wood. We do not have an identification of this man. ^y Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2009 ^ J C G S P h o t o A l b u m C Some time ago, Lloyd Cowan donated a large number of pictures to the Society. At the left above, a postcard home from Ransom "Chunk" Cowan. It is obviously from World War I, and its laconic message is, "Father, I am taking Boxing lessons." Since Cowan was seven feet tall, we believe the opponent was at a disadvantage. To the right, East Fork young people about 1910. Seated are Beulah Buchanan (Taylor), Tom Brogden, Laura Cowan (Hooper), Victoria Hall (Cabe), Essie Buchanan (Price), and Minnie Buchanan (Allison). Below, the East Fork home of Nathan and Charlotte Bryson Buchanan.

The following materials are submitted by JCGS members Everett and Elizabeth Wilson. Before the letters begin, a note says this: "Most of the letters are copies of original letters which Bright Burrell, my great grandfather, wrote to his wife, Martha Ann Billingsley, during the Civil War. The majority of these letters are owned by Edward Crawford, who is also a descendant of Bright and Martha Ann Burrell." This note is signed by Sara Burrell Miller and is dated March, 2000. Besides all of the above, we need to recognize the generosity of Alfrieda Reed Munger and Gerald Hedden, who gave permission for us to use the printed materials, while Shirley and Mozelle Burrell provided the pictures. This Burrell family lived near Highlands, just over the line in Rabun County, Georgia.] [Ed. The first letter was written to Bright Burrell by his brother Butler. We will not alter spelling or usage, but if something is particularly cryptic, we will try to ascertain the writer's intent. We will add spacing for the lack of punctuation, so that sentences will bold together.] C U State of South Carolina Colleton District March the 141862 Dear Brother I take the present opertunity ofDropingyou a fiew lines to let you now that I am well at Present and has Bin all the time I recivedyour leter this Day and was glad to her from you and to her that you was all well and Dooing well I recived a leter from you before I had neglected riting to you which I Shud have Done I was glad to her that you and Samuel P Burrell had took the notion to come to mee you wood bee grate Pleser and Sadisfaction to mee and Walter I went and Red your leter to my Capten he says you must find your one horses you rote to now about the Bounty money he says you can git your Bounty when ever you Come and if you will Send your name he will Draw your fifty Dollars and send it to you he Will also send you a transport to Come all the way Down the Camp is very Confinen as to The Drill or Scrvis it is nothing if you Ever low {Ed.

In a January 14, 1863, letter, Burrell tells about 20 men holding off about three thousand Yankees. In a March 14 letter, he is very homesick, and tells his wife be would rather be in Rabun County than any other place in the world. Interestingly, in an April 7 ^ , letter, he names his unit: Company F, 1st South Carolina Cavalry, Holden's Unit. On April 25, he declares to her that he weighs one hundred and Seventy two, and that he is "a heape hevery" ("a heap heavier) than he has ever been in his life. He goes on to say that Butler Burrell "hant got narey horse."] May the 9 Buckenham Countey NC [Ed.

Burrell keeps begging his wife to send him a horse. He also asks in a December letter for some dried apples and some molasses. In January and February of 1864, he writes from Spotsylvania County, Virginia, without much news but praying for peace. By April, he was writing from Roxboro, North Carolina. One line may be either whimsical or poignant, depending on one's point of view:] ".tel all my freins hauday for mee if I hav eney but tel them haudy eny how" ["Tell all my friends howdy for me, if I have any, but tell them howdy anyhow."] 10 KJ Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2009 C [The Regiment has been sent to South Carolina, and some letters are from James Island. He asks for such items as potatoes and onions, and wants them sent by E.V. Nicholson. Also, his friend James Holden had died 15 Oct 1864. The regiment had had a revival, and 54 soldiers had joined the church. His letters continue to be full of affection for his wife and children. He expresses sorrow for the death of William Nicholson.] Charleston SO CA 1864 December the IS Dear Wife I Agane take the opertunity of riten you A short note to let you no that I am well as Comon at this time hopin this may come Safe to your hand and find you well and dowen well I ham got no nuse of in trust [Ed.

From Charleston in January of 1865, he then sends a letter from "Jonson" County, North Carolina in March. As readers will know, the war was over soon thereafter.] C u Bright Burrell, author of the Civil War letters above 11 Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2009 KJ The picture above is of Bright Burrell, his wife Martha Ann, and their daughter Rhoda. This picture may well have appeared in some other publication, but we don't know exactly whom to credit. On the copy we are using, there is some very small writing at the upper right, and we can make out the words "Mountain Home." [Ed. To conclude, we would refer readers to the Rabun County, Georgia, Heritage Book, where they will find stories about this Burrell family. Also, please realize that the area where Bright Burrell lived is very close to both South Carolina and North Carolina, thus the names we encounter here like Holden, Billingsley, Nicholson, and others that are right at home in the southern part of Jackson County. Bright Burrell is buried in a family cemetery in the Pine Mountain - Warwoman section of Rabun County, very close to Highlands. Also, while we don't appear to have direct descendants of this Bright Burrell in Jackson County, we certainly have descendants of one of his uncles. Those Jackson County descendants include the Burrell family from the Canada Township, and also JCGS members Michael Wood and Bill Foxx. Furthermore, researchers will find it interesting that numerous marriages of the Burrell men were to women with the Denton surname.] V > 12 Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2009 C C 1 8 4 0 M a c o n C o u n t y C e n s u s . . .

What we are doing is following the patterns of surnames as we have found them later in Jackson County. Please realize that some of these names may refer to persons who never lived in what is now Jackson County, while we may well have omitted names that certainly belonged here.

Hooper (Vernon V. Hooper) V. V. Hooper most likely was Vernon V. Hooper (b.1885, d. 1948). This Vernon Hooper was a neighbor and eventually (1919) became the brother-in-law of Arch Price's grandson Charles Nelson Price. (Vernon's sister Brittie Lee Hooper married Charles Nelson Price son of Pole Price.) Vernon Hooper was the son of John Ansel Hooper and Mary A. Wike and the grandson of John Anzle Hooper and Catharine Evans. John Ansel was born in 1860 a few months after his father John Anzle was murdered on his way home.

Price ^ Record of A d m i n i s t r a t o rs Questions about Heirs: I t is interesting that only 2 heirs are listed. Arch and Polly Price had at least 12 children. (Mary A. Price reported on the 1900 US Census that she had given birth to 12 children and seven of those children were still living.) There are records that some of these children predeceased their father; no death records could be found for some of these children, and an early death is suspected; but at least one son (John B., the eldest) beyond the 2 sons listed as heirs was still living in 1915. John B. Price's life, death, and family are fairly well documented. Also, some deceased children had surviving spouses and/or children, and it is interesting that none of these heirs were named. • First the named heirs: P. N. Price is Pleasant Napoleon "Pole" Price (1871-1936) who married Elizabeth "Lizzie" Hooper C. (1863-1929), d/o William Burke Hooper & Susan Slatton. Together they had 5 children. They are ^"^ buried in Tuckasegee Baptist Cemetery. (US Census 1870; US Census 1880; US Census 1900; US Census 1910; US Census 1920) Albert Price is Albert Clarence Price (1877-1966) who married Minnie Chastain (1877-1966). Together they had 7 children. They are buried in Pisgah Gardens in Brevard, (us census 1880; us Census 1900; US Census 1910; US Census 1920; US Census 1930) • Other children who according to records predeceased their father or from the absence of records could conceivably have predeceased their father: James M. Price (b.1859, d. before 1912), m. Betty Mundy (1859-before 1912), and had one son James Mitchell Price (1881-1952). The marriage record of James and Betty Price's son James Mitchell Price to Essie Buchanan on 27 October 1912 indicates that both his parents were deceased. This 2nd born son predeceased his father A.N. Price as did his wife Betty. However, his only child James Mitchell Price was still living in 1916 when an Administrator for the estate of A. N. Price was appointed and heirs were named. Mary Lavinia Price (b. about 1861, no record found of death or burial) Viney Price, 21, married William A. (Alonzo) Queen on 3 November 1881 at A. N. Price's. In 1920 W. Alonzo Queen, 63, was married to "Hattie, age 49, from TN" with a 6 year old son. This suggests he had remarried around 1912 or 1913 and perhaps Lavinia had died a few years earlier. However, no proof has been found of the date of her death. Nevertheless, at least 4 of 5 children born to Mary Lavinia and William Alonzo Queen were still living in 1916. (Cordelia Raines, d. 1954; Ethel Dowdie still living 1920 census; Benjamin Nelson Queen, d. 1947; Lavinia Lusk, d. 1980) I William H. Price (b. about 1864, no record found of his death or burial) A marriage between ^ ^ William H. Price and Mary E. Watson on 28 September 1882 could possibly be this William Price; however, no further record of the couple was found. 23 Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2009 A N. Price Record of Administrators Lulu "Aunt Pop" Price (1867-1909) buried Tuckasegee Baptist Cemetery. This appears to be the same person listed as "S. L. Price" on the 1870 and 1880 US Census. Obviously, there is a record of this daughter predeceasing her father, (gravestone) Alice Price (b. about 1868, no record found of marriage, death, or burial) Alice, age 2, was listed in the home of her father A.N. Price in the 1870 US Census in Caney Fork. She was not listed in the home of A.N. Price in the 1880 or the 1900 US Census. The suggestion is that Alice died sometime before her 12th birthday in 1880. Tabitha L. Price (1866-1893), m. Thomas L. Hooper, and is buried In Tuckasegee Baptist Cemetery. Obviously, there is a record of her predeceasing her father, (gravestone) Tabitha's husband Thomas Hooper died in 1914 according to this gravestone, so he also predeceased his father-in-law. No record was found of any children from this marriage. Joseph Oscar Price (1873-1903), is buried in Tuckasegee Baptist Cemetery. Obviously, there is Kyi a record of Joseph predeceasing his father, (gravestone) A marriage between J. N. Price and Mary Wood on 24 January 1897 could possibly be this J. O. Price; however, no further record of the couple was found. Wylie Elden Price (1875-1903) m. Victoria Slatton, and is buried in Tuckasegee Baptist Cemetery. Obviously, there is a record of Wylie predeceasing his father, (gravestone) Wylie's wife Victoria died in October before Arch Price died in November 1915; however, she had remarried. Nevertheless, their two children were still living. • And then there is the eldest son: John B. Price (1857-1919), m. Mary Stopp/Stapp (1857-1937), and had one child Fidelia Booth Price (1876-1940). John B. (and probably his wife Mary) is buried in Pisgah Gardens in Brevard. (G.B., age 13, in home of father A.N. Price, 1870 Census; in home of father-in-law Jesse Stopp, 1880 Census; HOH Caney Fork 1900; HOH Caney Fork 1910) The death of John B. Price in Transylvania County, NC, on 7 October 1919 is recorded in the NC Death Collection, Ancestry.com. This 191&date is well after his father A.N. Price's death in 1915 as well as after the date of the appointment of an Administrator.
