Janney, about 90 yo married w/m farmer, b. date not known VA, d. 4-29-1919 Little

b. VA. Informant: John Janney of Pizarro, VA. COD: No physician; cause of
death old age. Burial: Right Graveyard, Apr 30, 1919. Undertaker: Phillip
Whitlock. ·
My
brother found this grave when he and his wife built their home on Bent
Mountain, Virginia. The grave is beside a road known as Patterson Drive
(Route 644)which is located just off Rt 221. My brother's address is 9502
Patterson Drive and Mr. Janney's tombstone is located to the left of the
driveway in a wooded spot. To the best of my knowledge, the only words still
visible on the tombstone are as follows: John Janney 1828. The following
information was submitted by a ggg granddaughter of
John Janney and Malinda Hale after finding his grave on this web site... ·
Born
to a single woman by the name of Ann Swinney, father unknown. Ann Swinney
died in the poor house. John Swinney married Ann Martin and had several
children. Ann Martin died in childbirth. John Swinney married Malinda Hale on
March 21, 1835 but changed their name to John and Malinda Janney. Isaac
Janney had raised John. Ann Swinney never told the name of John's father.
Isaac did not leave John in his will but did mention all of his other
children. John's 2nd wife Malinda, according to family lore, was an Indian.
Her nickname was "Skidge". Story has it
that she preferred to to sleep around the stove on
blankets. Proving Malinda was an Indian is also impossible because back then
Indians had to pass for white or be forced to live on a reservation. The
picture is of Mary Ann Janney, daughter of John Janney and Malinda Hale
Janney. I almost forgot to tell you why he is buried at this spot on Bent
Mountain. It was his favorite place to be, he used to pick greens there, it
used to have a great big tree and he told his family to bury him in the shady
spot, and they did. Update on November 22, 2012: As to Malinda "Skidge"
Hale Janney's supposed Indian heritage, I am her maternal great-great
grandson. The family lore is disproved by the fact that I had genetic testing
done through Family Tree DNA, and while there is plenty of Maternal great-great grandson
of John Janney (1828-1902) (with photos) |
