"Miss Effie" Is Fondly Remembered"
(From The Quill Pen
-Pittsylvania Historical Society by Robert C. Vaden, Jr, February 1986)
Reference is made to the Kirby, Davis, Oakes, Carter, Hodges, Hedricks,
Ramsey, Cook, Mahan, Smith Families
More than 100 years before the
community that is now Museville became a post office, the land in the
immediate vicinity had been settled by members of the Kirby family,
1746-48.
John, Francis and William Kirby held separate grants
totaling some 1000 acres near the junction of Snow Creek and Pigg River.
The original inhabitants, of course, were Indians, and legend has it
that a Kirby girl was scalped at the footbridge over Snow Creek. The
original Kirby homestead, on a high bluff nearby overlooked the site of
the tragedy.
Guided by the owner of this property Mr. Algie Davis, I
stood on the picturesque site of this early settlement. Nothing of it
remains but a level expanse of ground, and back of it a cemetery of some
50 graves marked only by field stones.
When Moses Kirby built what
is now the oldest standing residence in the community about 1817, he is
said to have removed portions of the original dwelling to the present
site on the banks of Snow Creek below.
This house has been
meticulously restored by Mr. Davis, who inherited the property from his
father Lee (Babe)Davis, who, in turn, had bought it from a member of the
Oakes family in 1905
Elizabeth Hudson Kirby (1805-74) was a sister
of the builder, Moses Kirby, and it was her dower when she married Joab
Oakes (1801-65), thereby uniting these two founding families.
The
Kirby House is most interesting, one-and-a-half stories in three
sections. The center section is a bit higher than the other two, giving
a simple and appealing balance to the exterior view. The lofty paneled
mantel in the central room, the wainscoting, the original H&L hinges on
doors, the narrow but high windows speak of years gone by.
Mr. Davis
said the house was built in the cove rather than on the hill because the
lower location afforded easier access to the wagon loads of tobacco
being brought in to nearby barns. Thus the empty wagons were sent back
up the hill.
This early tobacco was cured with charcoal, and the
sites of these charcoal pits still may be seen where the chestnut wood
was burned.
This and other neighborhood settlements witnessed some
of the industries connected with the culture of tobacco. Such a one, at
Woodpecker Level in Franklin County, was the beginning of the Brown and
Williamson Tobacco Company.
Museville was the location of a tannery,
where cowhides were processed for the manufacture of shoes. A by-product
of this operation, cow hair, also was used in making plaster.
The
tobacco factory for making plug tobacco, owned and operated by
Christopher Lawson Carter (1834-1901) was the principal industry of the
community. Mr. Davis recalled that there had been a racetrack "beyond
Piney Mountain" owned by Owen Adkins before the Civil War. He said that
plug tobacco was hauled to Pennsylvania from this area, and the wagons
returned loaded with salt. The Davis family has been located here since
1790, and Col. Christopher Davis, great-uncle of Mr. Davis, was in the
Civil War.
Museville was a post office from 1857 onward(Va. Magazine
of History and Biography). Before the name of Museville was used, the
post office was called Oak Shop (1851-57). This name may have originated
from the prominent Oakes family.
The name Museville obviously was
adapted from the Muse family name.
Guides for this tour, Miss Carter
and Mrs. Minter, pointed out the old sites during a drive through the
village of Museville. Here was the old field school taught by Miss Effie
Carter, who later moved to Gretna with her sisters Miss Ida and Mrs.
J.S. Adams.
"Miss Effie" left an indelible and endearing memory with
many hundreds there and in Gretna, where she taught many years. And
there was the site of the tobacco plug factory of Christopher Lawson
Carter, their father, and grandfather.
Carter owned much property
here and in the Penhook area. It was said that when almost any parcel of
land in the area was mentioned "he owned it, had owned it or would own
it." He was a successful merchant, manufacturer and real estate
operator. A son of Jesse Carter of "Oakland" near Chatham, he was cousin
of the Carter of "Shirley" on the James and of Gen. Robert E. Lee. He
married Dorothy Starn Muse in 1862.
Museville is a picturesque
location indeed. Located on a plateau, it affords an unimpeded view of
Turkey Cock Mountain and other foothills of the Blue Ridge. Especially
impressive as one drives across Pigg River are the giant rock
foundations of the now vanished covered bridge.
At the village
crossroads are two vacant old store buildings, the Smith and Davis
stores. Also within view are two historic residences known as the Joab
Oakes (now the Clark Hodges)house, and the John Smith house. Also in the
area is the Museville Christian Church with its historic cemetery.
Joab Oakes' seven sons fought in the Confederate army. Mrs. Doris Oakes
Minter, who furnished the information on the Oakes family, is a
descendant of Joab and Elizabeth Kirby Oakes. The many descendants of
this pioneer couple erected handsome monuments to them in the Museville
churchyard.
Mrs. Clark A. Hodges Sr., present owner of the Joab
Oakes house, showed the charming interior of this impressive L-shaped
two-story house. It is an interesting showplace of early 19th century
Americana with its marbleized mantels and woodwork and staircase.
The kitchen. in particular, takes one back many years with its spiciness
and old fashioned accessories. This home has been the lifelong home of
three families--the Oakes who built it, the Washington Hedrick family
which came here from Pennsylvania and bought it, and the Hodges family
which acquired it through Mrs. Hodges,who was Louise Hedrick, daughter
of the pioneer from the Keystone State.
Mrs. Hodges recalled that
the Hedricks had first settled in Pennsylvania from Germany and the name
had been originally Von Hedric. The old Hedrick Bible now is in a
historical museum in that state, having been brought over by the family
from the church in Germany.
Washington Hedrick donated the land for
the local church, which originally was shared by both the Episcopal and
Disciples of Christ denominations.
Mrs. Hodges pointed out the
office at her residence where the late Dr. O.L.. Ramsey (1874-1953)
beloved physician of Gretna, began the practice of his profession. The
Ramsey family was settled near Museville prior to the Revolutionary War
(memoir of A.F. Ramsey),the original settler being Thomas F. Ramsey, who
came here from Pennsylvania.
Dr. Ramsey's father was Col. William
Ramsey of the C.S.A. Dr. R.T. Ramsey, another Gretna physician, also was
a descendant of Thomas Ramsey, as was Rev. A.F. Ramsey. The old Ramsey
home is a few miles from Museville on Tomahawk Creek.
Connected with
the Ramsey and Mahan families are the many descendants of Harmon Cook.
He was a colonizer who settled thousands of acres on Tomahawk Creek and
Pigg River toward the end of the 19th century. The settlers which
followed him used the well-traveled route from Pennsylvania down ;the
Shenandoah Valley.
One of the settlers brought in with Harmon Cook
was Capt. Abram Rorer, ancestor of many area residents, including the
Rorer James family of newspaper publishers in Danville.
The John
Smith house at Museville, now unoccupied but owned by Mrs. Rob Reynolds,
who was Smith's daughter, is quite impressive from the outside., It is a
lofty two stories with old looking windows. Smith, a prominent merchant,
bought the house in the 1890's.
In years past Museville was a center
of many activities. There were bicycle races bowling matches, country
dances, a saloon, horse races and of course a magistrate holding court.
One such busy magistrate was "Squire" Davis.
Cook notes from
"History of Pittsylvania County"-Maud Clement
p. 46 Harmon Cook who
purchased large tracts of land on Tomahawk Creek and Pigg River, was a
colonizer who brought in many families from Pennsylvania in the latter
part of the century. Cook petitioned the General Assembly of Virginia in
1788 for a town to be established on his lands in Pittsylvania, "at the
forks of the roads leading from Houlston to Pennsylvania and
Petersburg," stating that many traders had already settled there. Young
Abram Rohrer, son of Abram Rohrer, a native of Switzerland, followed
Cook from Pennsylvania to Virginia, and marrying Cook's daughter,
founded the Rorer family of the county.
The will of Harmon Cook was
recorded May 21,1810. He bequeathed his property to his three sons,
John, Harmon and Abraham Cook; and to his daughters, Catherine Wright,
Mary Razor, and Nancy the wife of Abram Rorer.
p.48
As the line
of settlement moved westward, it became necessary to divide the old
counties and form new ones and in February 1745 the General Assembly
created Lunenburg County and on May the 5th Abraham Cooke among others
took the oath of justice of the peace.
The will of Abraham Cooke is
recorded in Lunenburg County in 1748 naming wife Sarah, and sons Charles
and Benjamin.
p.99 John Cook was appointed captain of the militia
during the years 1767 to 1770

"The Early
Homes of Chatham" by Maud Carter Clement
Oakland
A few miles
south of Chatham on the Danville highway stands Oakland, a white frame
house with four massive pillars supporting the entrance porch. A grove
of lofty oaks still surrounds the house, from which it received its
name. In former days there strolled in the grove those birds of gorgeous
plumage, the pea fowls, with their brilliant hues and raucous cries.
They were often seen on old plantation lawns, giving a touch of European
splendor to the peaceful southern scene.
At the close of the
Revolutionary War Jesse Carter of Corotoman, Lancaster County, Virginia
moved to Pittsylvania seeking to escape the malaria of Eastern Virginia.
He purchased of John Burton of Charlotte County, for 4,500 pounds, 1,300
acres lying on both sides of Banister River, where he made his home on
one of the main highways leading north and south.
Old homes,
especially old country houses, have characters of their own and this is
true of Oakland with its unusual design and welcoming atmosphere. There
are two very large reception rooms across the front of the house, each
with a fan lighted door opening onto the front porch. The large
fireplaces of the two rooms have tall handsome mantels of Adams
influence. In the dining room a bay of windows looks out over the grove,
while the small study overlooks the garden to the rear. There are two
halls and two stairways leading to the many bedrooms above. It is a good
house in which to dream, when summer's heat lies over the land ripening
the tobaccos in the field.
Colonel Jesse C. Carter, best known of
the early owners, was a man of jovial genial nature, with a wide circle
of friends. He married Miss Lucy Neale, who was delicate without being
ill, and shrank from facing life with its problems and responsibilities.
So she took refuge in her bed, from which she ably directed her
household.
Colonel Carter, like his neighbors, grew fine tobacco,
for Oakland lay in a section which was famed for its fragrant silky
leaf. These planters were grounded in their fertile soil, and much
knowledge in tobacco growing, and were well versed in its varieties,
qualities, and best methods of curing.
One autumn Colonel Carter
returned, from looking after the sale of his tobacco in Lynchburg, with
a complete new outfit of clothes. When his wife remarked upon his
purchases, he replied with teasing good humor, "Well, my dear, you are
never very well. Since it is not good for a man to be alone, I decided
to be prepared for any occasion."
"I'll have you to know, Colonel
Carter," exclaimed his wife with some asperity. "I will out live You!"
And so she did for many a year.
Three daughters were born to Colonel
and Mrs. Carter. Celeste, the oldest, married Dr. John Hutchings, a
young physician of the neighborhood; Nilla, lovely and merry hearted,
was her father's constant companion; while Mary, the youngest, gentle
and shy, was her mother's shadow.
When one of the deadly epidemics
of diphtheria swept through the county, Nilla suffered a severe attack.
She seemingly made a safe recovery to the great joy of the family. In
his delight, her father brought from Lynchburg a lovely new dance frock
for her to wear to a ball which was to be held in Chatham on July the
4th, 1851.
When the eventful evening arrived, Nilla finished
dressing and sent the maid down to tell her father she would be down
presently. He was to be her proud escort, and the carriage waited at the
door. When she did not come, the maid was sent back for her; but though
stillin front of her dressing table, Nilla was lying peacefully still,
with her lovely head upon her outstretched arms. It was thought that her
heart had succumbed to the exertion of dressing.
The Coleman
Family
YOUTHFUL COURAGE IN A MAN'S WORLD
An express rider
dashed from the headquarters tent with vital orders to be delivered. The
year was 1780.
He mounted his horse with the confidence born of
experience and sped through the trackless forests of Pittsylvania
County. Unusual? Well, yes. He was only 12 years of age! The lad was
Daniel Coleman and his destination was the tent headquarters of the
commandant of Pittsylvania.
Along some 50 miles of largely
unmarked trails and roads young Daniel urged his mount, while in his
saddle bags he bore orders for troops to muster at Irvine's Ferry and
march to the relief of General Greene. With unerring accuracy the
mission was completed, and the relief column marched without delay.
General Greene, relieved of the pressure of Cornwallis' men, then
crossed the Dan in safety. Had the youthful "express" faltered in his
dangerous mission, more American lives may have been lost to the
threatening Redcoats.
It may be that this boy's courageous action
was a contributing factor as Cornwallis wheeled about and made his way
deeper into North
Carolina
The records telling of Coleman's early
life are very sparse, indeed. He is on record living in Halifax Co. when
the resident commandant
employed him as express rider.
Daniel
was a son of Stephen Coleman of Cumberland County. The elder Coleman had
moved prior to the start of the revolution into
Pittsylvania County
and had taken up residence near Java. Young Daniel, born in 1768, was
the eldest of nine children: Daniel, Stephen, Jr., Thompson, Annie,
Elizabeth, Patsy, Lucy, Polly and Judith. Following his adventures in
the Revolutionary War, Daniel served as deputy sheriff, a role that
earned him universal respect because of his integrity and kindness. His
towering physique may have served him well in the performance of his
duties. Coleman was elected to the General Assembly in 1803 and was
returned to that body a total of seven times.
He was commissioned a
Justice of the Peace and ultimately rose to the position of Presiding
Justice. He held this post for a number of years. Such was the estimate
of his services as a magistrate, that the court commissioned a portrait
in oil to be made of the patriot which was hung above the bench in the
County court room. His commission as Captain of Militia was dated July,
1794. He served successively in the 101st Pittsylvania Regiment and in
the 42nd Regiment. Here he was elevated to the rank of Major and then
Colonel. He led this command prior to, and during, the War of 1812.
Colonel Coleman married, on November 21, 1798,Anne Payne Harrison,
daughter of William
Harrison. Ten children were born to the union.
In appearance Colonel Coleman literally was a head and shoulders
taller than an average man, according to his friend Benjamin W.S.
Cabell.
"In full dress, wither in the drawing room or in the field'
he was the 'beau ideal' of an officer," said Cabell. Today the stone
marking the final resting place of this defender of an infant nation is
standing in a weedy plot near Riceville.
Joseph Large Family
The Morris Family of Pittsylvania
Research is being done by
Gayle Austin
(These are my notes on the Morris family that I am
compiling in my search for my own Morris ancestors.)
"There was one
other grant of land in western Brunswick of like proportion to and
William Maclin, John Willis, Henry Morris, William Twitty, Charles
Lucas, Francis Willis, John Smith and Robert Throckmorton in Halifax and
Augusta counties, to be surveyed by the surveyor of Halifax, "beginning
at the head of the South Fork of Roanoke running thence to a river known
by the name of Dan, thence to the head of New River, supposed to be the
Waters of the Mississippi River, and four years' time allowed them to
survey and pay Rights for same. ---- In 1748 David Bell, Joseph Bell,
Archibald Cary and Walter King were granted 60,000 acres along Peter's
Creek (Patrick County); Samuel Morris(Hanover), William Sims (Hanover)
and others were granted 40,000 acres along Doe Creek; Richard Lane, Sr.,
Thomas Davenport James and Joseph Terry 20,000 acres on Turkey Cock
Creek" History of Pittsylvania County, Clement p. 36

I put this together recently for a lady in Texas and thought
you might like a copy. Some of the Waltons say that Pleasant Gap was
named for the wife of Lt. Jesse Walton (1739-1822) who was a soldier
during the Revolutionary War. He is buried somewhere on White Oak
Mountain in the Pleasant Gap area. I am going to search for the grave
this fall. I found a clue on a deed. Lt. Walton's wife was Ann Pleasant
(1749-1823).
My records have the children of Dr. John Walton (who
died during the Rev. War & married Mary Sims) as:

Descendants of James Townes
Attached you
will find an outline of my information on the Townes Family. Some of it
came from a Townes genealogist in South Carolina who I had the
opportunity to visit some time ago. Other came from various county
records which I personally checked at the various court houses.
Maybe some of your other contributors or researchers can add or correct
the information which I am sending. I have two e-mail addresses but
would like others to contact me at basilisk69@hotmail.com. I hope that
my information can assist others in their endeavors.

Terry Family of
Pittsylvania County
Contributed by Margie Brown

Benjamin Terry died Pittsylvania Co, VA 1771 wife
Elizabeth among their children was Benjamin Terry Jr, died Pittsylvania
Co 1817 wife Elizabeth Parker one of his sons Nathaniel Terry d bef 1820
and wife Mary Stone died 1823 leaving Joshua S. Terry md Hester Jackson
lived in Milam Co, TX Mary C. Terry md 1833 John Buckley Elizabeth Terry
md 1834 Creed McHaney Nathaniel Terry md/1 ca 1835 Sarah Bennett md/2
1852 Mary Ann Keesee. Nathaniel and Sally Bennett Terry had children:
William B. Terry in Smith Co, TN 1850 census
Mary E. Terry
Kitty A. Terry
Sarah G. Terry md 1870 in Pittsylvania Co Peyton
Keesee
I am writing a book on the Terry's of Hfx and Pittsylvania
and where they went.
. In the 1824 time period in Todd Co, KY
Robert Jefferson Terry married Rebecca Keesee. Robert was born 1800 the
son of a former resident of Halifax Co, VA. Nathaniel Terry and his wife
Ann Thompson Terry. In 1852 Nathaniel Terry a widower returned to
Pittsylvania Co, from Smith Co., TN and married Mary Ann Keesee. In 1870
in Pittsylvania Co., Sally G. Terry married Peyton Keesee. Sally was the
dau/ of the above named Nathaniel and Sarah Bennett Terry of Smith Co,
Tn........ In the 1880 census of Halifax Co, Nathaniel (a Beekeeper) is
living with Peyton and Sally Terry Keesee.
Nathaniel had 3 dau and a
son by Sarah Bennett, I do not know of any children of the second
marriage. His son William G. Terry may have stayed in TN. The Bennett
family in Smith Co, TN, came from Southside Virginia. The dau (because
of their age) probably returned with their father and married in
Pittsylvania or Hfx.
If anyone is interested and comes off of these
lines, I can continue the Terry lines further back. Would be interested
in descendants out of the above lines.

The Owen
Family in Pittsylvania County, Virginia
The Bassett genealogy library
has been a wonderful source and a lot of help to me. I thought you might
be interested in what little family history I have gathered on the Owen
line in Pittsylvania County. My mother-in-law was a Owen before marrying
and her father was born and raised just off what is now Route 40 barely
into Pittsylvania County, very close to Penhook. The census records list
the area as "Pigg River District". The house where he was raised is
still there although now only used to store tobacco, potatoes, and junk.
Across theroid we found the old family cemetery and I will list our
findings there. It is quite overgrown and probably no one knows it is
there except for a very few. Following is my findings so far on the
family:
William T. Owen - b. June 2, 1821, d. May 13,1891.
married Sarah E. Gilbert d/o John Gilbert August 21, 1848. (I think the
"E" stands for "Elizabeth" but am not sure) Both are buried in the
family cemetery. They had 8 children of which 4 lived to maturity(1900
census):
John - 1m. 1850 census
E.... b. May 1851
Julia Ann
- d. 1856aged 10 months
William T. - b. Aug 1861,d. Nov. 1861
Walter Jackson - b. Aug. 29,1865, d. January 16, 1934
baby - b. Nov
28, 1866, d. Nov. 29, 1866
Robert Lee - b. April(?) 28,1867, d.
Sept. 29, 1943 (buried in family cemetery)
my information on the
above is obviously fragmented
Walter Jackson Owen - b. August 29,
1865, d. Jan. 16, 1934. married Sallie Jane "Tommie" Davis July 4, 1889.
They are both buried in the family cemetery. Sallie Jane was born Oct.
15, 1869 and died Nov. 25, 1941. Her parents are Thomas Franklin Davis-
b. 10/25/1846, d. Aug. 1869 and Susan Davidson Davis - b. Jan 22, 1846,
d. Apr. 9, 1922. They are both buried in the family cemetery. Children
of Walter & Sallie:
Lola - b. Apr. 1890
Lena - b. Sept. 1891
Edith Mae - b. May 22, 1892, d. Oct. 14, 1963(buried in family cemetery)
William Frank - b. Aug 16, 1895, d. July21, 1984(my husband's
grandfather, buried Roselawn,
Martinsville)
Lillian - b. Feb
1899
Claude - b. 1901 or 1902, d. July 1962 (?)
I have more
research to do on these children. I know Edith, Lillian and Claude all
died in Pittsylvania County. Naturally I have extensive information on
William(we called him "Daddy Frank") but he lived his adult life in
Franklin County and later Henry County.
other headstones in the
cemetery are as follows:
Sallie B. Owen b. 10/21/1859, d. 9/19/1889;
wife of J.A. Davis
John B. Quarles Co. E 6 VA. Cav CSA
Mary B.
wife of John B. Qualles (2 different spellings), died with LaGrippe, b.
6/15/1824, d. 12/16/1891
Joseph C. Drury - b. March 27, 1863, d.
June18, 1891 or 1894
There are also several stones with no writingon
them.
I hope this information will be interest to you. I am quite a
novice at all this so am probably not very organized. If you or anyone
would like to contact me about any of the above my e-mail address is
fentress@intelos.net. Eventually I plan to spend a day in the courthouse
as I just live in Martinsville.

SAWING A LIMB OFF THE
WRONG TREE
by Mary Leigh Boisseau
Piedmont Lineages,
The
Quarterly Journal of The VA-NC Piedmont Genealogical Society, Volume
XIII, February 1881, Number 1, pp. 14 & 15
A number of descendants of
Samuel Harris and Nancy Overton mistakenly consider themselves
descendants of the famous Baptist minister, Samuel Harris and his wife
Lucy Camp. This erroneous limb of the minister's tree is perpetuated in
several family files in the society's research room and in a number of
publications. A study of several pertinent documents helps a researcher
delineate between two contemporary Samuel Harrises and prove that Samuel
who married Nancy is not the son of the minister. (d. 1799).
First
this study examines the DOCUMENTED LIMBS of the minister's tree.
Pittsylvania County, VA. Order Book 9:213 on16 Dec 1799 shows a suit of
JOHN P. PERKINS and ELIZABETH, HIS WIFE; SAMUEL HARRIS; JOHN BUCKLEY AND
MARY, HIS
WIFE VS NATHANIEL HARRIS AND BENJAMINHARRIS, executors of
SAMUEL HARRIS, deceased. Thus, it lists the children of the minister and
the husbands of his daughters. According to the county's marriage bonds,
ELIZABETH married JOHN PYROR PERKINS with consent of her father SAMUEL
25 June 1798; MARY married JOHN BUCKLEY 24 Oct 1786; and BENJAMIN
married LUCY CONWAY 15 Dec 1794. No marriage is in the county's bonds or
returns for NATHANIEL or SAMUEL.
SAMUEL HARRIS, son of the minister,
died around 1816; and his will (D&W 11:423) and county marriage bonds
give the researcher this family:
Son MANDLEY WINSTON HARRIS
Dau
MARGREATE (md. JOSEPH YARBROUGH 9 Feb 1819)
Dau JEAN (md THOS.
PENDLETON WINKINSON 16 Dec 1822)
Dau ELIZA P. (md BENTON BUMPASS 18
Jan 1825)
Dau SARANNA (md HENDERSON BUMPASS 30 May 1829)
Widow ELIZABETH HARRIS (md 2nd BEZABEL WEIR 1816 & they
consent
to her daus' weddings)
In Chancery Book 2: 127 & 232, a suit, after
SAMUEL,JR's death, to divide the minister's land give shares to the
above grandchildren or their heirs, proving that this family is that of
the minister's son SAMUEL and his wife ELIZABETH.
Meanwhile, in
Charlotte Co., VA, 16 Nov 1791, ANOTHER SAMUEL HARRIS and NANCY OVERTON,
dau of WILLIAM got a marriage bond and married 1 Dec. Apparently, the
couple lived in Charlotte Co. until 1808. Then, on 15 Oct 1808, JOHN
MURPHY, SR. and his wife CATY of Bedford Co. sold to SAMUEL HARRIS of
Charlotte Co., for $600, 110 acres on the Sandy River in Pittsylvania
Co. He recorded the deed 20 Feb 1809 (Pittsylvania Co. DB 16: 359)
Account Books of Pittsylvania Co. show that SAMUEL (husband of NANCY
OVERTON) had died by July 1811 (AB 4: 394). His estate division among
his heirs and accounts for his orphans in 1819 and 1820-1822
respectively (AB6:245, 247, 417) show the following legatees:
To
Widow [NANCY per OB 15: 415] 1/3 value of 11 slaves To seven legatees
2/3 share
WILLIAM HARRIS
JAMES HARRIS
OVERTON HARRIS
JAMES LEWIS for his wife POLLY (md. 21 May 1812)
SAMUEL HARRIS (md.
3 times; SEE BELOW)
NANCY HARRIS (md. SOLOMON FULLER, 23
Nov 1825)
MICAJAH HARRIS
The widow, NANCY (OVERTON)
HARRIS, married JOHN INGE, SR. on 18 Jan 1819; and on 25 Jan 1819, they
recorded their marriage contract in Pittsylvania Co. DB 22:182. This
contract specifies that said NANCY is the widow of SAMUEL HARRIS and
that INGE will have no control over the estate NANCY had prior to their
marriage. Further, INGE will take care of NANCY (JR) and MICAJAH, son
and daughter of said NANCY, without charging them board. If NANCY (SR)
survives him, he will leave her 200 acres laid from the tract where he
now lives, agreeable to said NANCY and HIS children; but at her death,
the land reverts to his estate.
SAMUEL HARRIS, son of SAMUEL & NANCY
(OVERTON), left a number of descendants by his three wives, one of whom
is H. F. HAYMORE (from * below), current Clerk of Circuit Court of
Pittsylvania Co. SAMUEL'S three families were (per marriage records,

1875)
Thus through documentary study, the researcher can saw SAMUEL
and NANCY (OVERTON) HARRIS'S limb off the family tree of the noted
Baptist minister SAMUEL HARRIS and replace it with SAMUEL and ELIZABETH
(???) HARRIS'S limb. Descendants of SAMUEL and NANCY (OVERTON)HARRIS
need to search in a Charlotte Co. forest for the tree upon which to
attach their limb.

Dr George W Clement, born1786; married 1811; died 1867. Dr Clement was
educated at Hampton-Sydney College and the Medical Department of the
University of Pennsylvania. His mother, Stella Smith, was the daughter
of Major John Smith of Lewis Island. Their Franklin County home was
called "Mountain View".
Victoria Smith was the daughter of Albert G
Smith and the granddaughter of Capt. Vincent Witcher. She was born in
1837. The Smith family regarded the Clement family as of inferior social
station. Dr Clement was very proud of the beauty and wit of his
daughter-in-law, Victoria. Two of her old sweethearts continued their
attentions after her marriage. (of innocent nature) They were William P
Gilbert and Samuel D Berger. Her husband, James Clement, accused her of
unfaithfulness and humiliated her. Fearing physical violence, Victoria
Smith Clement, fled from her husband on the night of August 24, 1859,
and found refuge in the home of Sherwood Y Shelton, who lived a mile
distant. She left behind her six month old baby, Leila Maud, born March
1, 1859, so great was her terror., In three weeks, the taking of
depositions was begun at Dickenson's Store, to be read as evidence in
the suit then pending between John A Smith, next fried of Victoria Smith
Clement, plaintiff, against James R Clement, defendant. The taking of
depositions continued until February 25, 1860, when the Clement brothers
were killed. Capt. Vincent Witcher objected to having Elizabeth W
Bennett make part of her statement on Saturday "and then being left in
the hands of the opposite party to be picked until Monday." He made the
statement that she was under control of the Clements. Ralph Clement said
"that whoever said that was a damned lie." Capt. Vincent Witcher drew a
"five shooter" and started firing at Ralph Clement. Addison Witcher
conducted the examination for the plaintiff. (Robert Mitchell, Justice
of the Peace, appeared to have forgotten everything that transpired).
The bodies of the Clements were riddled with bullets and gashed with
knives. William Clement was disemboweled; James Clement's throat was
slit from ear to ear. Ralph Clement lived three hours and made a dying
declaration: I never attempted to draw an arm. Addison Witcher caught
and held me and told them to come shoot me. A damned rascal Robert W
Powell stated in his deposition that Addison Witcher held Ralph Clements
while Vincent Oliver Smith shot him. George Finney stated in his
deposition that John Anthony Smith shot and stabbed James Clement. Both
James and William Clement were reclining on a bed in the Counting Room
when the firing began. Some thought the early firing came from the bed.
The Pistols of both James and William Clement had been fired until
empty, but Ralph had not drawn a gun. The three bodies were carried from
Washington Dickinson's Counting room, in a farm wagon, and buried in a
simple grave near the shaded driveway to the old brick house, their
boyhood home.
The defendants claimed self-defense and charges were
dismissed, March 23, 1860. In June 1860, the depositions were published
in book form by Dr. G W Clement, Sr.
Vincent Witcher Lodge #87,
chartered in 1852,made an investigation. After 1860 no reference was
made to Vincent Witcher, something happened to him but it was not
reported. There were no returns from Lodge #87 from 1860-1866. It
finally lost its charter..

been able to prove they are of this person. There are five records, VA
Militia, from Mar 1813 through June 1814. Place of enlistment is not

line, on the West by Isaac Coles (decd) line, and on the South by Thomas
Dalton's line. D.B. 22, p 179 Magistrates were Charles Clements and Joel
T Adams.
Feb 1819-- July 1822 Where was this family?
A Twelfth
Surveyor's District list including Henry Co, Tn and what are now
Carroll, Weakley and Benton Counties shows Daniel Clement received 2
deeds with total acreage of 2,834, in the early1800's. Land owners were
not allowed to move into the area until after the Jackson Purchase in
1818, and by that time some of the deeds had been sold to other
settlers. The deeds were under control of the University of N.C. and
Cumberland College ( Article from Paris Post-Intelligencer, Paris,
Paris, Tn July 24, 1981 by Charles D Robbins and Shelly Scott).
Was
Daniel Clement in Ashville or Raleigh N.C. while waiting to enter Henry
County which was not formed until 1821?
6 July 1822 "Records of
Bonds and Wills 1822-1827", County Clerk's Office, Paris, Tennessee.
Thomas Gray, Jesse C Gainer and Daniel Clement of Henry County were
bound unto William Carroll, Esquire, Governor, in the sum of $1677.75
when Thomas Gray was appointed Collector of public taxes. Each signed,
and a seal was affixed for each.
1830 Henry Co, Tn Census: Daniel
Clement has a wife, the 5 children who were born in Va and a young son
and daughter. In the 1850 census we found the latter two were Abraham b.
Tn 1826, and Rachel b Tn 1828. An uncle recalled that "grandpa Nathan
had a half-brother and a half-sister."
Retrospect: What happened to
Wilmoth (Irby) Clement between Feb 1819 and 1825? Did she refuse to move
from Vaor did she die?
Who was the mother of Abraham and Rachel
Clement, b Tn 1826 and 1828 respectively?
1840: Daniel not found in
Tn-had he moved into another State? When and where did Daniel Clement
die? Did he leave a will? His brother Stephen stayed in Pittsylvania Co,
Va. Perhaps an old record there will enlighten us.
Irby
Were
Wilmoth (Irby) Clement and Frances Irby of Pittsylvania, Co children of
Francis Irby whose Inventory was dated 1795? Wife was Jane Leprand.
In 1800 Nathan Glenn of Halifax Co, VA was guardian for orphans of
Francis Irby, deceased. Wilmoth Irby who married Daniel Clement in 1807
was one of those orphans. Who left her land in Pittsylvania Co, Va? How
was she related to Rebecca (Irby) Marlow?

Pittsylvania County, VA. He married MARY NEELY, daughter of WILLIAM
NEELY. She was born Bet. 1735 - 1745, and died Aft. 1788 in Pittsylvania
County, VA.
Notes for HUGH REYNOLDS:
[from Cheryl Nau
Westmoreland 8.28.1999] "Hugh Reynolds had lived in the area of Pie
Creek and Tomahawk Creek in Virginia since at least 1766. His requests
for land patents [almost 1200 acres]are recorded in the Land Entry Book,
1737-1770. He may not have received all of this land but it proves he
was living here in order to request surveys for this land The deed books
show that Hugh bought57 acres of land on the south side of Tomahawk
Creek from Wm. Neely on 4 Nov1774 and later purchased 105 adjoining
acres from Killian Kreck.
Hugh Reynolds was exempted from levies in
1785,indicating his age or infirmity; he was listed as not tithable on
the1787 tax list. He was still alive in 1788 at the probate of Wm.
Neeley's will. There is no deed on record for the sale of Hugh's land;
nor is there a will a court order requiring inventory and appraisal, or
an account of probate for him.
Hugh is listed as giving non-military
help during the American Revolution. He is also listed as taking the
Oath of Allegiance in 1777 in Pittsylvania County, VA."

second wife was Nancy Ford whom he married on 26 Jul 1803. According to
census records, they were the parents of 7 or 8 children. Joseph served

and has been a continuous resident of the county since. On reaching this
State he was poor, but by his industry and perseverance has made himself
a wealthy man, ranks among farmers as the "sturdy oak among forest
trees," and owns upward of 800 acres of fine land in Grayson county, a
portion of it lying in Red River bottom. His farm is well stocked, and
lies three miles north of Bell's. In 1861 Mr. Fitzgerald joined the
Confederate army as a private in Company H of the Chickasaw battalion,
but was soon transferred to the ordnance department, and served until

THE RAMSEY FAMILY
Stone House
From page
12 of the Star-Tribune, Chatham, VA,. Thurs. April 7, 1983
The Old
Stone House is a County Landmark that Has Disappeared
The Old Stone
House, a landmark of Northwest Pittsylvania for some 170 years from
about 1750 to around 1900. The old house was constructed by Thomas
Ramsey, who came by way of Pennsylvania from Scotland. The rocks for the
old house were hauled from a quarry on the farm by a blind horse. The
blasting marks are still visible at the Old White Rock quarry. Someone
inadvertently threw a cherry seed out the door. It sprouted at the back
of the house and grew into a tree. Years later, it began to crack the
walls of the house. The Ramseys moved out and the bats moved in.
Although the Old Stone House has disappeared, the site was the Guy
Ramsey farm located between Sandy Level and Museville, about a mile off
Route 40. A. D. Ramsey, Star-Tribune correspondent for Penhook, has
written an interesting background about the old landmark, and gives a
sketch of the Ramsey family that built the Old Stone House and the
offspring's that followed. In 1763, Thomas Ramsey purchased from John
Richardson about 200 acres of land on Rocke Creek in what was then
Halifax County. Although Mr. Ramsey had earlier purchased land on Reddis
Creek and other places, he lived on this land after this time. During
those years and until his death in 1790, he raised 13 children. He was
one of the few people whose will named books, pewter, and guns as
valuables, so he was by those standards, a reasonably wealthy man. On
this land he, with the help of neighbors such as William Young (also
kin) built the rock house. Using native rock, the house was a work of
art. Some believe that John Richardson might have started the home
earlier, and this may be true as he was a blacksmith and wheelwright.
However, the house stood for many years and served as home for Hailey S.
Ramsey family also. Hailey S. Ramsey was the son of Thomas Ramsey Jr.
and a grandson of the first Thomas. Thomas Junior served his country
during the Revolutionary War and in writings, he left behind a very sad
story of hardship and trouble during this period. Thomas Junior lived
most of his life in Franklin County, dying there in 1844. His son
Hailey S. apparently came back to Pittsylvania County in 1813, when he
purchased the land from the Thomas Sr. estate. Making the Rock House
their home, this family of 12 children (ten lived to adulthood) lived
and grew within its walls. The house that should still be standing was
destroyed by a tree. The tree grew between the wall, splitting the wall
and making the house unsafe. The family then built onto the kitchen that
stood a a short distance away, and the rock house was left to fate. Over
the years, as family members died, a graveyard on the hill from the
house grew. Hailey S, Ramsey and his wife Esther Zeigler Ramsey both
rest there. It is believed that the first Thomas and his wife Frances
are in unmarked graves. At least 30 unmarked graves are located within
the area. Over the years, Hailey A. Ramsey, son of Hailey S. Ramsey
purchased the land and when he and his wife Eliza Bennett Ramsey passed
away, they were buried in the family graveyard. I about 1913, Walter
Eugene Ramsey, son of Hailey A., and his two sons Guy Bennett Ramsey and
Adolphus David Ramsey, fenced in the graveyard area. At this time,
Adolphus Ramsey was about 13 years old. In 1927, Walter Eugene was laid
to rest there, and in 1931 he was joined in death by his wife Mollie
Rebecca Buck Ramsey. A son Roy Ramsey, already was buried there, having
died in 1885. Other members of the Ramsey family with graves marked are
Angeline Ramsey, daughter of Hailey A. and Eliza. (One interesting
point, on her tombstone, the spelling Ramsay was used.) Armistead
Fullove Ramsey has triplets buried there.
In an unmarked grave lies
Hailey Bennett Ramsey and one of his children. Also little Mittie Ramsey
is believed there and many others.
Much Ramsey history lives within
this area and all descendants from the first Thomas Ramsey to the
present families must feel pride in the known history.
There are
'ghost' tales also connected with the cemetery. Bessie Ramsey Divers,
daughter of Walter and Mollie, was holding her small child, Juanita, one
night when a light appeared at the spring area below the house. It
traveled to the window in front of the chair where Bessie rocked her
sick child. It hung there for a few minutes and then travelled to the
road and followed the road to the graveyard hill. It disappeared halfway
up the hill. That night Juanita Divers died. She too lies in the family
graveyard on the hill. Fannie Woody of Museville is perhaps the only
living person that ever saw the house. She described it to her son.

Thomas F. Jr. Rev War Pension Request
Son of Thomas F. Sr. of the
Stone House. This request was filed in Franklin County but Pittsylvania
connections are strong. Not quite sure what county the family lived in
at this point. Thomas Jr. lived most of his life in Pittsylvania for
sure (in the stone house most of his life).
The pension request was
filed on behalf of his heirs (children and, in the case of his eldest
son already deceased, grandchildren). It was filed in Franklin County.
They lived in Penhook at the time, which is only about 5 miles from
Sandy Level (Pittsylvania). Not too sure the family moved very far --
think county designations just changed alot.

REVOLUTIONARY WAR
PENSION REQUEST FILED BY HEIRS ON BEHALF OF THOMAS F.
RAMSEY, JR.
State of Virginia
County of Franklin
On this 6th day of
February in the year A. S. 1854, before the County Court of the said
County, now sitting, personally appeared Joseph Edds a resident of said
County, age ... years, w ho being first duty sworn recording to law
makes the following. Declaration on oath in order to obtain the benefit
of the provisions of the Act of Congress approved 7th June 1832. That he
is the Administrator of Thomas Ramsey, deceased, who was a Revolutionary
Soldier, and resident of said County. That he has been informed that
said Thomas Ramsey was engaged in the service of the United States or
Colonies in the war of the Revolution and served in the Virginia
Militia in said war for about two years and six months as follows --
That in the latter part of the year 1778 or first part of the year 1779
when the British General Mathews fleet, and army was expected to the
Chesapeake and James River Country, and the cities of Norfolk,
Portsmouth, Petersburg, and Richmond the Militia were called out and he
volunteered for a tour of months and marched to the protection of the
cities and country on tidewater, which was kept on a constant State of
alarm, by threats of invasion, by the British who has uncontrolled
command of the Cheasapeake and the navigable streams that enters into
it. General Mathews expedition did not reach the State as early as was
expected, but appeared in the Cheasapeake in the spring of the year,
when he established himself at Portsmouth, and from that point sent out
his forces, by land and water to sack the towns, murder and plunder the
defenceless inhabitants, and destroy with fire and sword, every article
of property, that he could not carry off. He has often heard Thomas
Ramsey tell of his having marched to Portsmouth with the Militia which
was collected as speedily as possible, and sent to drive Mathews from
his position and of the calamitous condition of such of the inhabitants,
of the Tidewater country, as had not
been able to fly at his
approach. He said the British plundered everything of value - burnt
their houses, with their contents and drove off their stock of every
kind, or shot them down, in their presence. He said he had often wept at
witnessing the sufferings and destitution of women and children whose
houses had been burnt and they plundered of everything. The soldiers he
said,
would strip the clothing of their own back, to cover the
nakedness of those poor creatures. He declares that he has often heard
the deceased Thomas Ramsey say that he then resided in the County of
Pittsylvania, in the State of Virginia, and when about the part of 1778
or 1st part of the year 1779 a portion of the Militia was called to
march to meet the invaders, he volunteered his service, at the place of
rendezvous called 'the Widow McDaniels', in said county, for a period of
not less than 9 months and that he served for said term of 9 months as a
private in the company commanded by
one Captain Roberts, of Pitts---
in a Battalion commanded by Colonel ... That having faithfully performed
this 9 months term as service he was discharged and returned home in
proof of which, he (the declarant) refers to the Certificate of Captain
Smith, here with annexed and to other proofs herewith presents. That
from what he has heard the said Ramsey says on his life time, and from
the information of others, who had often conved with him he has
heard and only believes that he again entered the service and served as
follows -- in the year 1780 when the British Armies were envading the
Southern States and carrying on a barbarous war in South & North
Carolina and Georgia, threatening the subjugation of the whole country
-- soldiers were again called for and very heavy draft made, at the
rendezvous called 'the Widow McDaniels' from the Pittsylvania Militia
early in that year (it is believed in February) who were held in
readings to join such force as it was with understood and reported,
would be marched from the North, under the command of Captains William
Dix and John Wilson and Perkins ... and Co ... under whom they were
marched to the lower country for the purpose of being armed and prepared
to join the Northern Army, whensoever it should arrive, on its march
South he joined those troops, being then under the command of Captain
William Dix and Col ... and Brigadier General Stephens. He present in
the unfortunate action at Camden South Carolina, Major General Gates
being commander in chief with the Virginia Militia, harassed by sickness
(dysentery) and worn down by marching through the pestilential swamps of
that country; and nearly famished from the want of food, found
themselves suddenly confronted by the British Army led by Lord
Cornwallis, and supplied with every necessary. They were unable to
withstand the shock of battle. They broke, and fled from the fields. A
portion of them were rallied and Thomas Ramsey was among them, and were
moved to a place, in Halifax, Va. where there was a company store and
Rendezvous for troops. That place was near Dan River, but its name is
forgotten. There they remained a considerable time, in the most
miserable condition, their clothing having nearly all dropped off of
them; at length they were ordered to march to a place then in Halifax,
now in Pittsylvania, called 'Old Town', and being on the ... they were
overtaken at Banister River, in Halifax, by an express Rider, sent by
General Lafayette, by whose
orders they were discharged for that
tour, about the last of Sept. or 1st October, having then been service
upwards of nine months. It is believed that Thomas Ramsey, discharged
the duties of Sergeant in this tour as he was often spoke of under the
appellation of 'Sergeant Ramsey'. That the said Thomas Ramsey, as he has
very often heard him say when he was living and as he verily believes to
be true, also served a third tour of duty with Captain William Dix a
patriotic and gallant officer, who was commanded to carry on the war,
(after the defeat at Camden) in North Carolina when a call was made for
troops, to join General Green, who had been sent by General Washington
to take command of the Army, steped forth and volunteered, with a
company of about 80 men, who volunteered under him, and joined General
Greens army in the County of Halifax, Va., Thomas Ramsey volunteered
under Cpt. Dix, who marched with Genl. Green into North Carolina about
the last of December 1780 or 1st January 1781 and was with him, and
fought bravely under the command of Genl. Lawson, at the battle of
Guildford on the 15th March 17.. That they saw Sergeant Ramsey continued
with the Army. until the 30th day of the month, when he as discharged,
(at a place called Ramsays Mills) in North Carolina, where Genl. Green
halted his army, and declined pursuing the retreating army of Cornwallis
any further. This last tour could not have been less than 3 months so
that adding the three services together it is evident the said Thomas
Ramsey, served, as a Sergeant not less than the term of 18 months, from
1st Sept. 1778 till 15th June 1779 as a volunteer as in proved by the
certificate of Capt. John Smith, hereto attached 2nd tour from 1st
January 1780 till September 1780 9 months of which proof will be
furnished and presented herewith. And also a sergeant 3rd tour from 1st
January 1781 till 30th March 1781 proved by his discharge here to
annexed. He (the aforesaid Joseph Edds) further declares that the said
Thomas Ramsey deceased died at his own home in the County of Franklin
Va., on the 24th day of October 1844 -- and that he has often heard him
speak of his revolutionary services of his accidents and narrow escapes
from death, by starvation, and the British bullets. He often expresses
his intentions to apply for a Pension and for Bounty Land, but he was
getting old and infirm and kept putting it off from time to time till
death sealed his lips. but he put it off principally he believes because
he was seperated from almost all of his old comrades, and because the
'Oath of Allegiance' and the two certificates, of Capt. Smith and Capt.
Dix were mislaid and supposed to have been lost. But he declares that
they were recently found, among some old papers of his fathers by his
son Theodric A. Ramsey, in whose possession they were, and were
delivered to him on the ___ day of March 1853. He further declares that
after the termination of the service above mentioned Thomas Ramsey did
reside in the following named Pittsylvania County, state of Va and that
he finally died in Franklin, 24th day of October in the year 1844,
leaving no widow surviving him, but that he left the following named
children surviving him. 1st Healey Ramsey, now dead, leaving children in
Pittsylvania, 2nd Theoderic A. Ramsey of Franklin, 3rd Elizabeth Ramsey
married Salisbury Williams, and residing in State of Missouri, 4th
Frances C. Ramsey married Joseph Edds, the declarant, now residing in
the county of Franklin. He further declares that the name of the said
Thomas Ramsey is not on the Pension List of any Agency whatever, that as
his Administrator, he relinquishes every other claim to Pension that
this is the first and only application ever made in his name and that
his legal Administrator, he now applies for whatever Pension may have
been due to said Thomas Ramsey, from
4th March 1831 to 24th October
1844 for the benefit of his surviving children above mentioned.

STEWART FAMILY LETTER-Pittsylvania County
Mr. John Stewart
Nottoway Parish Amelia County Virginia
6th May 1774
Dear
Father John Davis brought your letter today and I write to tell you how
pleased I am to hear from you as well as to share a few lines about your
family here in Pittsylvania. Susanah as you know from brother John Kelly
was very sickly and has been slow to mend. She is a good and dutyful
wife and I must confess my fear was that she might never be any better.
As for the children our Cely has taken to herself a husband since I
wrote you Mr. Benjamin Ward. They stay with his brother Daniel Ward but
talk much of going to Carolina. Jack tends to run wild much to the worry
of his Mother and this does not help to better her poor state of health.
Dan now stands as tall as brother Berry and is a favorite with the
ladys. He is a fine son and in his conduct is much like brother Charles.
Our Mary is a great comfort. Never was a girl more properly named for
Mother being a most sensable girl and since Susanahs illness has taken
charge of her Mothers dutys. It has been near five years since our Jesse
left us and never is the day we do not think of our dear boy lost at
such a tender age. As for myself I am in perfect health. I close with
our respects to you and Mother and all the family. May God keep and
bless you all.
Your son
John Stewart

Here is the story
of the murder of George Craft by his brother Armisted, on August 10,
1833. The paper's date is August 17, 1833, and is called The
Workingmen's Press.
"Horrid! - a second Cain. - Armistid Craft
of the county of Pittsylvania, Va. on the 10th inst committed a most
wanton and diabolical murder on the person of his brother George Craft,
at the house of his father, Philip Craft, and immediately fled. The
father immediately sent for his neighbors to whom he related the
following facts. Armisted arose and fed his horse, and rode out that
morning - returned to breakfast and fed his horse again. The family,
composed of the father and two sons, set down to breakfast - when George
remarked to Armisted that it was unnecessary to feed his horse so often,
when corn was scarce, for which rebuke he received a slap on the mouth -
George being a mild, orderly well disposed member of the Baptist church,
requested his brother not to repeat it, which he did by inflicting a
severe blow with his clenched hand. A recontre ensued, which resulted in
George's throwing Armisted on the bed. The father taking him away,
Armisted took advantage of this circumstance, seized George and threw
him on the floor - when the father again interposed and separated them -
ran Armisted into the corner - hearing something fall behind him,
exclaimed 'Sir, you have killed your brother' - raised him up - when the
fatal dirk fell from the bosom of the expiring boy, having entered
between two ribs, and penetrated deeply into the heart. Mr. Jones the
coroner, held an inquest over the body when the jury found that the
deceased had been feloniously willfully and maliciously murdered by
Armisted Craft - Greensborough Patriot
Below is an article that I
had my library order about the murder of George Craft, son of Philip and
Nancy (Parker )Craft. I got the copy out of Poulson's, but I see that is
originally was in the LYNCHBURG VIRGINIAN. Since it affects Pittsylvania
I thought you might like a copy for the website.
From POULSON'S
AMERICAN DAILY ADVERTISER, JULY 29, 1833, pg. 3
-from the LYNCHBURG
VIRGINIAN-
A Murder foul! Most foul and horrid! A Brother’s hand
imbrued in the blood of a Brother! - A friend in Pittsylvania furnishes
us with the following narrative of a murder recently perpetrated in that
county:
“We have read in Shakespeare of a second Daniel, but it was
reserved for the present era of Murders to be presented with a second
Cain, in the person of ARMISTEAD CRAFT, of the county of Pittsylvania,
who on the 10th instant, committed a most wanton and diabolical murder
on the person of his brother, George Craft, jr. at the house of his
father, Philip Craft - and then immediately fled. His father, being
suspected of aiding his escape, contrary to the act of Assembly, and
thereby becoming an accessory after the fact, was arrested on the 13th
instant, and , on the 15th was brought before S. Coleman, D. H. Clark,
V. Dickenson, W. L. Pannill, and L. Dillard, Esqrs. Justices of the
Peace, who, after a patient and impartial
Examination of a number of
witnesses, pronounced that the testimony would not bear them out in
pronouncing the prisoner guilty, and he was therefore discharged . A
synopsis of the testimony may not prove uninteresting, viz: That,
passing by the house, heard considerable noises - had curiosity to
ascertain the cause - turned in direction of the house - saw Armistead
Craft running at full speed across the field - reached the house, and
understood from the father that Armistead had killed his brother George.
The father sent for his neighbors, a number of whom soon assembled - to
whom he stated that on that morning Armistead arose, rode out, returned
to breakfast, and fed his horse again. The family, composed of the
father and two sons, sat down to breakfast - when George remarked to
Armistead that it was unnecessary to feed his horse so often, when corn
was scarce, for which rebuke he received a slap on the mouth - George,
being a mild, orderly, well-disposed member of the Baptist Church,
requested his brother not to repeat it - which he did, by inflicting a
severe blow with his clenched hand. A rencounter ensued, which resulted
in George’s throwing Armistead on the bed. The father taking him away.
Armistead took advantage of this circumstance, seized George and threw
him on the floor - when the father again interposed, and separated them
- ran Armistead (the eldest of the two) into the corner - hearing
something fall behind him, exclaimed, “Sir, you have killed your brother
- raised him up, when the fatal dirk fell from the bosom of the expiring
boy, having entered between two ribs, and penetrated deeply into the
heart. Armistead asked his father’s forgiveness, who ordered him from
his presence. The neighbors sat up with the corpse that night. After
midnight, the father came downstairs with his overcoat on, and a bundle
in his hand - went to the desk and took a bag therefrom, containing
something weighty - went out, and remained several hours. Whether the
bundle contained clothes, and the bag money, and whether the absent time
was spent with the refugee, the witnesses could not tell. Mr. Jones, the
Coroner, held an inquest over the body, when the jury found that the
deceased had been feloniously, willfully, and maliciously, murdered, by
Armistead Craft.”

I am a descendent of the
Motley/Gardner/Eddy line from Pittsylvania County. I have a 4 page
letter written by my great-great grandmother Lucy Ann Eddy Garder
(1845-?), wife of Jacob Shelhorse Gardner (1846-?) to her daughter
Nannie Jane Gardner Motley (1867-1939) and son-in-law Elijah Motley
(1859-1905) from Bannister Virginia that I’d like to share with you for
public genealogical use on the Pittsylvania VAGenWeb site if you would
like to use it.
<>It contains names of not only my ancestors, but
also some of the neighbors of theirs at the time. <>
I also
have a one page sheet of paper written sometime in the 1930s by Nannie
Jane Gardner where she lists her Gardner genealogy from her great
grandparents down through her children and grandchildren although who
she lists as her great grandparents is contrary to other supposed
well-documented evidence. I have tried to reconcile that difference but
have not as yet been successful.
This letter is from Lucy Ann Eddy
Gardner b. 9 Nov 1845, wife of Jacob Shelhorse Gardner b. 24 May 1846 to
her daughter Nannie Jane Gardner Motley b. 4 Jan 1867Pittsylvania
County. My comments in here are written in italic text. Glenn Clark

Banister Va August 19th, 1892
Dear Nannie &
Elija & Children
I will try to write you all a few lines this
evening. I have not wrote to you in so long that I do not know what to
say this leaves us all well and guley But me I have not been well in so
long I have all most give up ever being well a gain. I have tried so
hard to get well and do what I had to do but I am far from it. I
received your letter last week and was truly glad to hear from you & I
was so thankful to hear you was well. I was so glad to get those letters
that you sent me. I think I will write to Mrs. Keesee now soon. Nannie
your uncle Tom (I believe this to be David Thomas Eddy b. abt 1841) was
here. Last Saturday was a week. He is well. I know you will be
surprised to hear that Lucy Eddy and John Hunt is married. Tom said
nothing he could say would do any good. Mat is down at Kates. I read a
letter from Mat to her Pa and one from Lucy Mot (I believe this to be
Elijah’s sister Lucy Motley b abt. 1856) was at Mrs Murpheys when she
wrote. Kate expects to be confined some time in this month. Nannie I
have the fattest baby. I believe he is the fattest baby we ever did have
(I believe this to be Richard Dewitt Gardner b. 6 Jun 1892). Minnie has
another boy and so has Jennie Parrish. They are all about the same age
of my boy. Minnie has been up here to see them all since her babe was
born and her and Willie come down to see us. We had a barn raising last
Tuesday and they have covered it and are chinking it now. Nannie we have
had plenty of watermelon and muskmelon. I wish you all could have some
of them; there has been a protracted meeting at Swansonville this week
and
Page 2
one at Trinity. Jimmie went every night to
Swansonville. Last Friday night he walked down there. Tom and John went
with him. He said he never saw such a meeting. 14 or 15 was dunked and
as many to be emersed. John said he had to set up in the Stand. Mr Clark
sit on the floor whild Mr Medows preached. There was many that had to
stand.
Well this Sunday evening I will try and finish my letter. They
are all gone to Liberty but my self and little ones and have not
returned yet. I know you will be surprised to hear that they turned Mat
Parrish out of the church yesterday. Nannie I could not tell you if I
would write all evening what it was for he has done so much and said so
much. But it all started from the way he done and talked about Bickey. I
wish I could see you and all. I want to see Bessie (Nannie’s third child
Bessie Celestial Motley b. Nov 1890) so much. Lillie (Lucy’s youngest
daughter Lillie Mae Harrison Gardner, b. 1888) talk so much about Besse.
She wants to name her little brother Bessie. We have not named him yet.
You must send me a Litter name for him. I never saw as quiet and good
child in my life and as fat as a pig. He has black hair and eyes. His
head looks just like your uncle Wills.
Well Nannie it is so warm this
evening I can hardly write and no rain yet but we have had rain since
you have unless you have had some since you wrote to us. But we are
needing rain now badly. Mr Ed Gatewood lost one of his little boys not
long ago. His oldest one. He was buried at Chatham. There has been a
good many deaths around here. Joe Gibson is dead and old Miss Ann
Breedlove and Jim Mays’ wife. They was buried over
Page 3
here at this grave yard. Jim Mays’ wife left 3 children. Jim Mays’ wife
was Mollie Easly; are you going to stay down there next year and let me
know what was the cause of Sallie Shelton’s death. I do not know yet
whether we will stay here or not. Jake said he would not stay unless he
could rent the hold place where Mr Horkins live and this too Nannie.
Lelie Thompson has two tumors growing in her and she is going to
Richmond this week to have an operation performed on her. Mr and Mrs
Goggins is going with her. I do never expect to see her again. I have
not seen her. Every one says she is a sight. Nannie your Pa has come and
says Willie Gardner is coming home with the children. Her Bill Goggins
her and uncle Tommy come to uncle Pleseys yesterday. If I was well I
would not mind it but you know how I have to do. I am not well and I do
not know what ails me. I am just weak and my back hurts me so some times
that I do not know what to do. I hope Willie has not come to stay long.
You know Kate was here last summer and I was not well then and whild she
was here there was always some one else. I did not mind Lillian at all
no more than one of my own. We got a letter from Sallie Wood (I believe
this to be the same Sallie C Wood who married John Wood. They lived in
Bannister in 1880 according to the US Census and were in Newport News in
1900 Census living and had nephew William T Gardner living with them,
therefore I believe it is possible that Sallie Wood was actually Sarah
C. Gardner b. ab 1857, William T. Gardner’s father Jacob Shelhorse
Gardner’s sister. ) last week. She wanted to know what had become of
you. She said she had not heard from you since she left Danville. I do
not know whether Jimmie will stay at home next year or not. If his Pa
rents the hold place he will. We get plenty milk and butter and snaps
and tomatoes.
Page 4
I will have to close for this time. I
thought I would finish this sheet but I can think of so much I have to
do tonight if it is Sunday. Tell Elijha thanks to him for the
Anti-Liquor. I like it splendid. You all must write soon. We get daily
mail now at Banister. Get a load of paper every week. Write me word how
Davis (Nannie’s first son Beverly Davis Motley b. 3 Jun 1885) and Minnie
(Nannie’s first daughter Minnie I Motley b. Dec 1887) performed at
Children’s day. I hope they did well. You write soon and let me hear
from you. I thought you never was going to write to me again. You must
come this fall or winter to see us. It looks like it would be too good
to think you was coming a gain. There it is 6 oclock and I must get up
from here. I do not know as you can read this or not. I am so nerves I
can’t half write. Be sure to write soon. Kiss the Children for me.
Remember me in your Prayers. I remain as ever your Dear Mother.

twenty such files and asm working on more.

Casualties of World War I from Pittsylvania County & Danville
305th Engineers Regimental History- 1918
The
following is a transcription of papers handed down from my grandfather.
Richard Dewitt Gardner was born 1892 in Callands, Pittsylvania County,
Virginia. His parents were Jacob Shelhorse Gardner and Lucy A. Eddy
Gardner. Jacob’s parents were William Finch Gardner and Martha Jane
Shelhorse, all of Pittsylvania County. Lucy Eddy’s parents were Thomas
Eddy and Nancy Mason of Franklin County, Virginia.
This
transcription is of documents in the possession of my father, Robert
Gardner, and is related to Richard Gardner’s service in the Army during
the First World War. He was part of the 305th Engineer Regiment (Company
B), 80th Division, 3rd Army. He was injured during his service on two
occasions, both times a result of inhalation of mustard gas. According
to my grandfather, his first encounter with the gas was due to a faulty
gas mask. He was hospitalized for a short time, then was returned to his
unit. Due to his injury he was assigned as a messenger and driver. He
was driving down a road that was being shelled, so he stopped and jumped
into a foxhole or bomb crater to wait out the shelling. Unfortunately,
the bottom of the hole was filled with gas, and as he was still
recovering from the previous incident, this time the gas did major
damage to his lungs. He was in a hospital in France for a long time, and
did not get home until many months after the War ended. As a result of
his injuries, his heart was badly damaged, which limited him in his
activities. He married Mary Anne Easley, daughter of Edward Thomas
Easley and Virginia Belle Beck, of Callands, Pittsylvania County. They
moved to Ashland, Boyd County Kentucky and had four children, of which
my father Robert R. Gardner was the youngest. My grandfather died at the
young age of 49, just days before Pearl Harbor in 1941, due to heart
failure. He is buried in Ashland, Ky.
The following papers consist
of a roster of the members of Company B of the 305th Engineers, then a
page showing the units’ movements after arriving in France in 1918. The
third piece is a 14-page document that was originally bound with two
clips at the top of the pages. I do not know if other copies of this
booklet exist. The pages are in fairly good condition, though one page
has a large piece missing. I attempted to transcribe the pages exactly
as they appear, using the same sentence and page breaks, as well as the
original spelling. The last page is a copy of a history of the 80th
Division with the source at the bottom.
I wanted to publish this in
the Pittsylvania County website, as my grandfather was a native of that
county. The 305th Engineers and the 80th Division were formed at Camp
Lee Virginia, and I figured that many of the members of this unit were
from Virginia, and perhaps from Pittsylvania. I hope this is of some use
to anyone researching their family. Any questions or comments may be
sent to:

HEADQUARTERS 305TH ENGINEERS
AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY
FORCES.
Fulvy, France, February 9, 1919
The 305th Engineer
Regiment, 80th Division, was first organized at Camp Lee, Va., during
the early days of September 1917. The officer personnel had been
assembled and assignments to duty had been made on August 27, 1917.
Colonel George R. Spalding was placed in command. The training of the
regiment was started immediately, the time being about equally divided
between Infantry Drill and Military Engineering.
The authorized
strength of an Engineer Regiment and Engineer Train, including Medical,
Ordnance and Veterinary Detachments (attached) is 57 officers and 1782
men. The organization consists of two Battalions of three companies
each, a Headquarters Detachment, an Engineer Train, and a Medical
Detachment. A Band has been authorized since August 1918, but most
Engineer Regiments organized a Band from the beginning, placing the
members on special duty. The officer personnel includes a Colonel,
Lieut. Colonel, three Majors, in command of the two Battalions and the
Medical Detachment. Captains in command of the companies and as
Personnel Officer, Topographical Officer, supply Officer, Adjutants and
Medical Officers. Lieutenants as company officers
and the Regimental
Chaplain. The enlisted personnel consists of Regimental Sergeant Majors,
Master Engineers, Senior and Junior Grade, Regimental Supply Sergeants,
Battalion Sergeant Majors, First Sergeants, Sergeants First Class,
Sergeant Bugler, Color Sergeants, Mess Sergeants, Stable Sergeants,
Sergeants, Corporals, Cooks, Horseshoers, Mechanics, Saddlers, Wagoners,
Buglers, Privates First Class, and Privates.
During the training
period there were frequent changes in the personnel including officers
and non-commissioned officer appointments, and new increments of men
from the Depot Brigade to take the place of those transferred or lost on
account of sickness. A considerable number of men entered the Regiment
in this way in early December and a still larger number, amounting to
nearly 50% of the strength in March and April, the latter increase being
assigned to take the place of men who had already been withdrawn from
the Regiment for overseas service.
Early in the Spring the Companies
in rotation left camp for periods of about a week, marching to Dutch
Gap, Va., where instructions was given in Engineer Drill. They were also
given instruction on Pontoon Bridges, on the Appomattox River, about the
same time.
In May the rumors of departure for overseas duty, which
had started in March, become more persistent, the Engineer equipment was
packed and unpacked several times and finally on the 24th of May orders
to move were received. An advance party, consisting of Captain Thomas J.
Powell and Sergeant Frederick C. James, had left camp with the Division
advance party a few days earlier, and had preceded to Brest. Colonel
Spalding had also left for France on May 18th with the Commanding
General of the 80th Division as Acting Chief of Staff, so that the
Regiment was under command of the Lieut. Colonel until Colonel Spalding
rejoined it at Samer, France.

The
Regiment left Camp Lee at 2:00 A.M. on May 25th and marched under heavy
equipment to City Point (nine miles) where they boarded two small
steamers for Newport News. After a rest during the day the Regiment
embarked on the U.S. Transport “Huron” formerly the “Frederick der
Grosse” of the Hamburg-American Line. On May 26th at 4:00 P.M. the
steamer joined the other vessels of the convoy outside of port.
The
ship’s Commander was Commodore Doyle, U.S.N. The total convoy consisted
of twelve armed transports. The Cruiser “North Carolina” accompanied the
“Huron” to sea until other ships joined the convoy after which a
destroyer replaced her, crossing with the fleet. Ten more destroyers
joined the fleet several days before port was reached. The day before
sighting land the convoy split and half the vessels headed for Bordeaux
while the other half, including the “Huron” made for Brest.
The trip
across was without incident, as the weather was fair and no submarines
were encountered. The quarters on the ship, however, were very crowded
and the food was not over-abundant, but very tempting in quality. Who
will forget the remarks? “Soldier, you can’t stand here” just as one had
selected a comfortable place on deck; or “Hot stuff, coming through”
when the mess cans were being carried about.
At 4:00 P.M., June 8th
the “Huron” anchored in Brest Roads, and the regiment boarded a tender
and went ashore. The whole outfit then marched up to “Pontanezen
Barracks”, and remained there until June 12th. During these four days no
liberty was granted. Just before leaving the United States, Captain
Maurice E. Gilmore had been transferred out of the regiment. First
Lieut. Frank Weaver had been promoted to Captain and assigned to 1st
Battalion as Adjutant, in place of Captain Samuel Sherrerd, who was made
Personnel Officer. Captain William R. Grunow was transferred from the
command of “F”
Company to the command of “D” company, and First
Lieutenant Fred G. Rockwell was placed in command of “F” Company.
Captain J. Shlessinger
had been sick in hospital since March 27th
and did not cross with the outfit.
At 1:00 P.M. Wednesday June 12th
the regiment left Pontanezen Barracks and marched to the railroad
station, where three days rations were issued and the train was boarded.
Passenger coaches were provided, but, as usual, there was no room to
spare. The trip lasted two days and the destination proved to be Calais,
which point was reached at 2:30 P.M. June 14th
The regiment marched
to British Rest Camp No. 6, where the men were quartered in bell tents,
as many as fourteen or fifteen men to a tent. The men were instructed to
be on guard for air raids, one of which had taken place two nights
before, and if such occurred to keep under cover and to lie flat on the
ground. The same night there was an alarm, which broke up several poker
games rather suddenly; but it proved to be false. The next few days were
spent in exchanging American for British “Lee-Enfield” rifles; in
getting equipped with gas masks and in drill and instructions under
British Sergeants and Officers.
- 3 -
On June 17th at 7:30 P.M.
the regiment marched to an entraining point near Calais, boarded box
cars-thirty-five to forty men per car- and moved to Samar (fifteen
kilometers from Boulogne) arriving the same evening.
Training under
British direction was continued at Samar and in the neighboring towns of
Menty, Widehem, Devree and Halinghen. Campaign
hats were turned in
and exchanged for overseas caps. On June 25th the regiment was
re-equipped with British transport, both horses and wagons?
The
weather towards the end of June became hot, so that the roads were in
good condition. On one occasion several units of the regiment marched to
Etaples for a swim.
Colonel Spalding had now rejoined the regiment
and taken command. Major J. Vinton Birch and First Lieutenants H.R. Haar
and William Booth were ordered to school, from which they were to go to
the United States, when the course was completed. Lieutenants Booth and
Haar were later assigned to the 317th Engineers. First Lieut. John T.
Morgan was relieved from command of the Engineer Train and appointed
Acting Regimental Adjutant, and Second Lieut. Herman Maier placed in
command. Captain George W. Knight became commander of the 2nd Battalion.
On July 4th the regiment entrained for Candas from which point it
marched to Beauval, where Divisional and Regimental Headquarters were
established and remained for the next two months. The Engineer Train,
which was now equipped with British-horsed transport, made the 100
kilometer trip over the roads.
The regiment had now reached the
front and was brigaded with the British. Training was continued in the
neighborhood of Beauval and included rifle and bayonet practice, barbed
wiring and trench drill. The entire organization was billeted in the
town except the Train, which occupied tents and constructed bivvies.
It was soon found that Beauval was all right in the day time, but not so
agreeable after dark. On practically every clear night there was an air
raid alarm, followed by the playing of search-lights and a bombardment
by anti-aircraft batteries. The first serious raid on the town itself
during the stay of the regiment occurred on the night of July 18th when
seven bombs were dropped, demolishing a small dwelling house and killing
four civilians. A baby, sleeping in a cradle in this house, miraculously
escaped injury, though the building about the cradle was completely
wrecked. Captain Robert Luce, the Regimental Dental Surgeon, had a
narrow escape on this occasion, as did a number of others in the
Regiment.
Several nights later a very large Boche plane was brought
down near Beauval. The machine, which was flying quite low, was picked
up by the search-lights and was plainly visible to those standing in the
streets of the town. After a brief bombardment from the anti-aircraft
batteries, the guns suddenly stopped firing and it was seen that a
British plane was up and was attacking the Boche. After a short fight
the German plane caught on fire and fell rapidly. The plane was
destroyed and the crew of nine men killed. Upon striking the ground some
bombs exploded and also killed two Englishmen who came running up. This
huge bombing plane measured 144 feet from wing tip to wing tip and was
provided with five motors.

On July 15th the 1st
Battalion marched to Harponville where headquarters was established.
Company “B” moved to Senlis and Companies “A” and “C” to positions
between Senlis and Varennes. The Battalion was now engaged on the
construction and repair of the Front Line and reserve trench system,
barbed wire aprons, dugouts, pill boxes etc. Reconnaissance and night
wiring parties went out into No Man’s Land and in general performed the
same duties as the British troops holding the sector.
The 2nd
Battalion marched from Beauval to Coigneaux on July 15th establishing
Headquarters at the latter point. “E” and “F” companies were camped
between Coigneux and Souastre, and “D” Company at Bayencourt. The
Battalion performed the same type of trench work as the 1st Battalion.
Men of the regiment were under fire daily, and the first casualty
occurred on July 31st when Sergeant Claypool of “B” Company was killed
by a high explosive shell while at work between Millencourt and Albert.
He was buried with Military Honors at Harponville. Chaplain Luther Clark
of the regiment, conducting the service. Several days later Master
Engineer Charles E. Wilson was seriously wounded by a sharpnel [sp]
burst in a trench where he was working near Monchy.
On August 1st,
First Lieut. Robert C. Levis was appointed Adjutant of the 2nd
Battalion. 2nd Lieuts., Oscar C. Bohlin and James M. Howe were assigned
to the regiment from the 101st Engineers. On August 8th Captain Jacob
Shlessinger returned to the regiment from hospital at Camp Lee and was
appointed Topographical Officer in place of Captain Thomas J. Powell,
who returned to the United States at this time, together with the
following officers: Captain George F. Hobson, Captain William R. Grunov,
First Lieuts. C.J.Brady, J.T. Thompson and K.S. Abell. First Lieutenant
William A. Smith was appointed Regimental Supply Officer from “B”
Company. First Lieut. William Robinson of “A” Company was placed in
command of Company “D”. First Lieut. Charles W. Chesley was transferred
from “E” Company to Headquarters Company. On August 17th Lieut. Colonel
E.H.Ropes left the regiment for assignment to duty in the United States.
On August 26th First Lieut. Fred W. Wright was assigned to the regiment
from the 66th Engineers.
On August 8th the 2nd Battalion marched to
Baieuval from which point details of men were assigned to British units
for instruction. The Regiment at this time was working with the IV, V
and VI British Corps. The New Zealanders and Australians in the
neighborhood of Sonastre had a considerable number of men assigned to
them from the 2nd Battalion.
On August 18th the 1st Battalion moved
to the woods outside of Beauval and on the following day joined the
Engineer Train and Headquarters Company and marched to Prouville. On the
same day the 2nd Battalion moved from Baieullval to Coigneux and at
3:A.M. the next morning started to march for an entraining point. The
route led through Beauval to Bernaville and the distance covered 37
kilometers, establishing a record for the Division. The Battalion
arrived at Bernaville at 6:00 P.M., having marched under heavy equipment
for twelve hours, exclusive of a two hours rest at noon. Very few men
fell out of the line of march.
The regiment had already made many
moves, generally under full equipment, and its reputation for moving
often and for long hikes was sustained during later operations. The
regiment entrained from Prouville West and Bernaville in three sections,
on the evening of August 23rd. Trains made up of box cars and
flat
cars were provided. After two nights and a day, via Amiens and Paris,
the training area of Chatillen-sur-Seine was reached.
- 5 -
The
1st Battalion and Headquarters Detachment detrained at Poincon and
marched to Vanvey where the night was spent. The march was resumed next
morning and the town of Bure-les-Templiers was reached, where the troops
were billeted. The 2nd Battalion detrained at Chattilion and marched to
Maisey-le-Duc where they rested and marched the night of August 24-25
and reached the town of Colmier-le-Bas where the troops were billeted,
except “F” Company which continued the march to Chauger where they were
billeted. The Engineer Train detrained at Les Launus and moved to
Bure-les Templiers. Colonel Spalding marched at the head of the column
the entire distance.
The next few days were passed in fixing up
billets and in starting a regular training schedule. On August 31st,
orders were changed, however, and the regiment prepared to march the
next day. The first night’s halt was made at the old location at
Maisey-le-Duc and the second at the entraining point, Poincon. The
regiment boarded two trains of box and flat cars and left Poincon in the
evening of September 2nd., passing through Bar-le-Duc in the morning,
the trains pulled up at Nancois-Tronville at noon, where the regiment
detrained and rested until evening.
The orders issued drew especial
attention to the necessity of concealing the presence of all troops as
much as possible, so that after this time all marches were made at
night. During the daytime the troops were ordered to stay under cover of
buildings or woods and not to assemble in groups or formations in the
open. These regulations proved onerous at times, but were faithfully
complied with by the majority of the troops in the concentration which
was now being effected, so that favorable reports were rendered by our
airplane observers whose duty it was to watch out for infringements of
the orders. The only unfavorable comment that was made was in connection
with the smoke from fires in the woods. The only fires allowed were
those in the rolling kitchens, and as nothing but green wood was
obtainable it was sometimes necessary to put out even the kitchen fires
and serve a cold meal.
On the evening of September 2nd the regiment
marched from Tronville- through Ligny, Headquarters of the 1st Army, to
Nante-le-Petite. On the following day camp locations in the woods were
selected and the regiment moved out under canvas. The next three days
were rainy and all were thoroughly uncomfortable in the small tents.
Everything was wet, no lights were allowed at night and no fires except
for cooking were permitted at any time.
On the evening of September
7th the regiment left Nante-le-Petit and marched to Ligny-en-Barrois,
arriving in the pitch darkness and rain at 1:00 A.M. The rest of the
night was spent in the open as it had been determined to camp on a hill
above the town. On September 12th the regiment moved to billets in
Willeroncourt, which event was a welcome relief from the wet conditions
of tenting in the woods and bushes. Our Division was now in Reserve for
the St. Mihiel drive which was begun that morning. Several hundred
Austrian prisoners captured in the St. Mihiel Drive passed through town
September 12th and 13th. On the evening of September 14th the Transport
moved out and the next day the men embussed in French Camions at 7:40
P.M. 50 kilometers to St. Andre Woods, arriving in the dark at 4:30 A.M.
The camp location in the open woods was better than at Ligny or
Nante-le-Petite, but the weather continued rather wet, so that living
conditions were far from comfortable. Although every effort was made to
conceal the presence of the men and Transport, it was evident to all by
this time that a huge concentration of troops was being effected. Every
wood was full of men and at night the roads were choked with Transport,
while camouflaged dumps of supplies and ammunition were to be seen at
frequent intervals.
- 6 -
On September 19th orders were issued
to move forward. The column was formed on the road about midnight and
after waiting in line several hours for other troops to pass, the road
was clear and the regiment marched until 8:00 A.M., when they reached
the location in the woods two kilometers from Lempire. The frequent
halts and long waiting experienced on this march made it one of the
hardest which the men had been through.
September 20th and 21st were
spent in the woods resting and fixing camp. The weather became much
colder so that improvised stoves in the huts were put to full use. Plans
were now being worked out for the part which the Engineers were to take
in the big drive and several officers made reconnaissance trips to the
lines from this point. This camp location was about one kilometer from
the Fort de Landrecourt, the most western fort of the chain protecting
Verdun.
September 23-25th was spent in moving up into position for
the drive. On the 25th the location of the units was as follows:
Regimental Headquarters, Engineer Train, and Headquarters were at
dugouts about two kilometers north of Germonville; 1st Battalion had
moved in the evening from Fromereville to dugouts northwest of
Germonville; D and E Companies were located in the woods near the road
south of Eau Claire; C Company was stationed about two kilometers west
of Chattancourt.
The regiment had been assigned the duty of opening
up the road for the division from Esnes to Bethincourt to do which it
was necessary to construct a new road across the front line trenches and
No Man’s Land and to build a bridge across Forgos Brook into
Bethincourt. To this end construction material had been hauled up as far
as possible by truck and wagon and then carried up farther by hand and
camouflaged in the trenches. For two days previous to the attack every
means of transport was utilized to the upmost, and owing to the more or
less constant enemy shelling and the congestion of the roads a trip of
but a few kilometers often took from twelve to twenty-four hours.
Drivers and horses had little opportunity to rest and food and forage
were difficult to obtain since any arrangements made in advance were
sure to fall down under the changed circumstances of the moment. Nor was
the condition in the companies much better, for night marching, the
constant call for details, the uncomfortable and dangerous positions in
which the men found themselves, gave small chance for rest.
The
weather had been cloudy and overcast for a number of days before the
drive, which was favorable on the whole for the American operations
since it made enemy observation difficult, and permitted more movement
in the daytime than would otherwise have been advisable. By September
25th the ground had been dried up enough so that “sand tracks” across
the fields were possible to use, this relieving somewhat the
tremendously heavy traffic on the roads.
Regimental Headquarters was
situated in a bell tent at the top of a hill, close to the main road. At
this point there was a large dugout with a number of entrances, and with
three underground galleries on different levels, which afforded sleeping
quarters for many of the men; but it was so damp and crowded below
ground that some men preferred getting what rest they could sleeping in
wagons or under the trees. A battery of fourteen 155 millimeter guns was
located just below the dugout and so close that the blast from their
muzzles made it rather dangerous to go down into the dugout entrance
when the cannon were in operation. Another battery of still larger
calibre was located behind some trees just across the road and when one
of those pieces opened up the concussion was so tremendous that it
fairly took one’s breath away.
- 7 -
The traffic along the road
was continuous and often became blocked. Whatever officers were on hand,
in addition to their other duties, did whatever they could towards
directing and relieving traffic. Colonel Spalding himself spent most of
one night clearing up a bad block at this point. A free canteen was also
opened up by the regiment and a very large number of men who had not had
anything to eat for a long time were served with hot coffee and bread
and syrup.
At 11:35 on the evening of September 25th the great
bombardment opened up and continued all night. The din was terrific and
the sky was lit up far and wide with the flashes of the guns. It was
observed that the German guns ceased firing almost immediately, which
seemed to indicate that our pieces were registering on their batteries.
Early in the morning the Infantry went over the top, Companies D and
E of the Engineers advancing with them. Companies B and F and 500
Pioneer Infantry under Captain Kenney started the construction of the
bridge across Forges Brook at 6:30 A.M. and completed it so that the
Artillery was able to cross at 9:30 A.M. Machine-gunning from the air as
well as the ground, and more or less continuous enemy shelling made
these operations very difficult, but by good fortune the Boche never
managed to register a hit on the bridge.
The Divisional Transport,
as well as that of other Divisions and a large amount of French
Artillery, immediately started to move over the road from Chattancourt
through Esnes and down into Bethincourt. This road was practically the
only means of advance even for foot soldiers as the ground all about was
so torn up with shell holes and demolished trenches that it was
impassable. It will be remembered that the Division was advancing over a
sector which had previous seen some of the bitterest fighting of the
war. The famous “Dead Man’s Hill” lay between Chattancourt and
Bethincourt, the road running across a
spur of the hill. For the
next forty-eight hours every effort was turned towards keeping traffic
moving from Esnes into Bethincourt. Again and again blocks would occur,
caused by trucks sticking in the mud, or double banking or horses unable
to pull a heavy gun or loaded wagon out of the mud. It was often
necessary to overturn a truck into the ditch or to order a wagon pulled
off the road and discarded so that the long line of vehicles behind it
might move forward.
Showers on the morning of September 27th made
the difficulties much greater, but by good fortune the next few days
were dry and the road work progressed favorably.
The town of
Bethincourt was a heap of ruins with only a few walls left standing. One
of the first tasks was to clear up the streets and fill up the shell
holes so that traffic could pass through the town. Although completely
exhausted the men continued to perform this work under the personal
supervision of Colonel Spalding, who himself had been constantly at work
without sleep for almost three days. Regimental Headquarters were
established in the Colonel’s car near the bridge which had been built
across Forges Brook. The staff slept in a small dugout under the ruins
of a building. The Regiment was now located in and about Bethincourt and
for the next few days worked principally on the roads in the vicinity.
There was little shelter available and there was constant menace from
the enemy shelling and from hostile aero planes. During this period and
for the next two weeks there were very large concentrations of men and
transport in and about Bethincourt. For the most part the men were
exposed to the view of enemy airplane observers, who frequently came
across the lines, and the fact that there were as few casualties as
there were can only be ascribed to the force of our attack and the
thoroughness of the artillery preparation which kept the enemy
constantly looking out for himself. As it was, the losses in animals
from machine gun fire were considerable.
- 8 -
On September 29th
the Engineer Train moved into Bethincourt via Malancourt, the direct
road from Esnes having been ordered a one-way route to the rear. The
location chosen by the Train proved to be a bad one, for a number of
shells came over in quick succession, wounding one man, killing three
horses, and wounding four others. The Train moved its Headquarters back
to Esnes on the following day, but a number of the wagons remained on
duty forward. On the same day the 2nd Battalion moved to Cuisy.
Regimental Headquarters was established in the deep dugouts between
Bethincourt and Cuisy. All companies were put on road work.
On
October 2nd Colonel Spalding was relieved from command of the Regiment
and appointed Chief Engineer of the 1st Army. Major Bright was ordered
to staff School and was relieved of command of the 1st Battalion by
Captain Kenney. Captain Knight was promoted to Major and became Acting
Lieut. Colonel of the Regiment. Captain Hoff was appointed commander of
the 2nd Battalion. Lieut. Packard was assigned the command of B Company
and Lieut. Yereance the command of C Company. Lieutenant Morgan was
promoted to Captain. Second Lieutenants Sinclair and Maier were
appointed First Lieutenants. First Lieut. Stuart relieved Lieut. Maier
as commander of the Train.
A great concentration of heavy artillery
was taking place in the valleys between Bethincourt and Cuisy. These
pieces were emplaced in the open with little or no camouflage, and as
there were enemy planes “over” many times during the day, it was not
surprising that a good deal of hostile shelling took place all over this
area. The Colonel’s mess had been established in the “upstairs” room of
a large dugout, and on one occasion at about this time a Jerry shell
landed on the roof, just as the Staff were sitting down to dinner. The
cooks and field range outside the door were sprinkled with dirt, and
their was a good deal of
commotion for a minute or two. Finally it
was deemed more prudent to move farther down under ground.
On
October 4th, Colonel Harry Burgess was assigned to the regiment. The
first officer casualties occurred on this date. First Lieutenant Ward H.
Ream, on duty at Nantillois, was instantly killed by the explosion of a
high explosive shell which hit his horse. Lieut. F.W. Wright was
severely wounded and Lieut. Orbison was slightly wounded on the same
day. A few days later Captain Kenney and Lieut. Moses H. Simmons were
slightly wounded.
The following men from the regiment having been
commissioned 2nd Lieutenants, were assigned to the different commands;
Henry G. Buckingham,
Francis M. Tompkins, Henry L. Cannon, Edward A.
Furrer, Edwin B. Hudson, Frank M. Schultz, Frederick Sonand, Howard C.
Spencer. The following officers reported for duty in the regiment: 2nd
Lieutenants John C. Naylor, Moses H. Simmons, John C. Watkins, Robert J.
Cheatham, John T. Ellis and Charles S. Rollings.
The weather was
clear for the first week of October and there was great air activity. A
line of ten or more of our observation balloons could often be seen at a
time. One of these captive balloons, which was located within a short
distance of Regimental Headquarters, was the particular object of enemy
plane attacks. Six times in twenty-four hours hostile fliers swooped
down and attempted to set fire to the balloon with incendiary bullets,
but each time they were driven off by a hail of machine gun bullets from
the ground, and the balloon observer descended in safety my means of his
parachute. The seventh enemy
attempt was more successful. A single
flier appeared suddenly from a cloud just towards evening, and headed
right for the balloon succeeded in setting it on fire before he was even
discovered. The observer jumped and had fallen half way to the ground
when the envelope of the balloon, now a mass of flames, appeared about
to fall on top of his parachute. By good fortune, however, a gust of
wind caught the flaming balloon just in time and carried it clear of the
man clinging to the parachute, so that although the balloon was
destroyed, the observer was saved.

On the day the
Armistice with Bulgaria was signed newspapers were dropped by our planes
and were eagerly read by our boys. About this same time a very large
fleet of American planes crossed the lines on a bombing expedition. The
sky was literally darkened by them and more than two hundred were
counted at one time.
By October 7th all companies except F had moved
to Cuisy from which point road work was carried on, parties were sent
out on front line wiring and our positions were consolidated. Very
little shelter was obtainable for the men and there was constant danger
from enemy field artillery and from gas. Several casualties were
suffered. Lieut. Buckingham of E Company was gassed. A shell landed
square on a tent where the three cooks of A Company were sleeping,
killing them instantly. Private Williams of A Company died on the
following day.
The American attack had been completely successful
and the 80th Division had not only succeeded in breaking through the
Hindenburg Line, but had advanced eight or ten kilometers over most
difficult terrain, gaining all its objectives. An examination of the
ground passed over disclosed the presence of numberless dugouts, machine
gun nests, trenches, pill boxes, barbed wire entanglements and every
other form of obstacle that could be devised in several years of
occupation. All these difficulties had been overcome so that when the
Division was relieved on October 12th there was a general feeling that
material progress had been made towards ending the war.
On October
13th the companies forward left Septsargos in the afternoon and the
entire regiment marched through Esnes, Montzeville and Dombasle to the
Bois-de-Lanchamp in the Foret-de-Hesse. Here the Regiment spent the
night and the entire next day resting in the woods.
On October 15th
the regiment marched to Ippecourt, spending the night in barracks. On
October 16th the march was continued to Foucaucourt, where the two
battalions, minus F Company, remained for the rest period. Regimental
Headquarters, Headquarters Detachment, Engineer Train and F Company were
located in the next town, Evres. The following week was spent in washing
up, re-outfitting, drill and rest. The Regimental Band now being
authorized, was organized, assembled and gave daily concerts.
Major
Knight was promoted to Lieut. Colonel of the regiment. Captains Hoff and
Kenney were appointed Majors. 2nd Lieuts. Bohlin, Allcroft, Collier and
Buckingham were promoted to 1st Lieutenants. Lieut. Levis and Lieut.
Robinson had been promoted to Captain some days previously, and 2nd
Lieuts. Lebeck, Shaw and Sydow had also been advanced to First
Lieutenants.
On October 23rd orders were received to move and the
companies packed up, and ambushed the following morning. French camions
with Cochin-Chinese drivers were provided. Le Claon was reached at 11:00
A.M., at which point the regiment debussed and marched up the hill to
Camp Monhoven. This camp, in the high beech woods of the Argonne, was a
very agreeable spot. It lay just beyond the zone of advance of the great
Verdun attack in 1916, so that there were no signs of destruction, but
many huts and elaborate dugouts had been constructed by the French
during their occupancy, and these provided comfortable shelter for the
regiment. The stay here, proved all too short, however, for orders to
move forward again were received on October 27th. On October 28th the
entire regiment except Regimental Headquarters marched from Monhoven
through Varennes and Apremont to locations south of Fleville.
- 10 -
The regiment was now back at the Front about thirty kilometers West
of the point at which it had left the lines. The camp sites selected
were on the steep slopes of hills close to Fleville and Cornay. Such
temporary bivvies and dugouts as could be constructed in a short time
gave some shelter from hostile fire which was encountered during this
period. The location of the Regiment was in the zone of the “Heavies”.
An Engineer dump had been established on the top of the hill about
two kilometers south of Fleville and on October 29th the Engineer Train
moved to the same location. Regimental Headquarters were established at
La Forge about a kilometer West of the Dump at the Chatel Chehery
bridgehead over the Aire River. All necessary preparations for the
attack on November 1st were now being completed.
There was much air
activity, enemy planes appearing frequently over our lines, and being
subjected to the fire of our anti-aircraft batteries. There was every
indication of this being al [an] All-American Drive. For the first time
there were few French batteries in line and it was with considerable
satisfaction that the presence of a large number of Holt Tractors and
other American machines were seen. There were many German signs still
up, showing that the territory occupied had not long before been in
enemy hands. The smaller signs were eagerly pounced upon by the truck
drivers, who seized them as souvenirs and fastened them on to the
radiators of their machines. Trucks which had seen service at the front
could be identified for many weeks afterwards by these signs.
The
month of November opened with the attack of the first Army on a front
from the Argonne to and including both banks of the Meuse River. The
305th Engineers had been in position south of Fleville and at La Forge
for several days in readiness to assist the Eightieth Division in its
projected advance on a sector two kilometers wide, west of Sommerance.
The attack started early in the morning of November first with a heavy
bombardment and barrage. The day was clear but the roads wee muddy,
adding to the difficulties of transport. All companies of the regiment
immediately moved forward, taking up their various assignments to duty.
Company “A” under command of Captain Donald S. MacBride, worked on
roads, keeping up with the advancing Infantry. It was found by
reconnaissance that the German mining operations on the Bridge at
Allipont had been interrupted before the detonators had been placed in
the charge so that
the two Platoons of the company assigned to the
repair of the bridge were put back on road work immediately behind the
Infantry. At this time Captain MacBride was wounded in the heel by a
machine-gun bullet and the command of the company passed temporarily to
Lieutenant Orbisen. 2nd Lieut. William C. Davis was wounded on the same
day near Sommerance being struck on the shoulder by a (dud) of fairly
large caliber. The shell had evidently spent its force, , the Lieutenant
described picking it up as “still warm”. Private first-class C.R.
Frederick and Privates C.C. Goad and Banks Wilson were also wounded by
shell fire. Corporal Lewis E. Plaiss and Private G. Dicello and J.B.
Davis were missing in action.
Company “B”, Captain Charles L.
Packard commanding, moved forward to St. Georges and repaired the bridge
found damaged there. The company cleared the streets of St. Georges
which had been rendered impassable by shell fire, and worked on the
roads. Corporal P.J. Natale and Private W.H. Frye were struck by shell
fragments, and Private T.R. Cutchin was gassed in this vicinity.
Company “C”, under command of Captain Alexander W. Yereance, was
assigned to Divisional Artillery (157th Brigade) to assist in moving the
guns. As the roads were in good condition little difficulty was
experienced. On this day Corporal A.J. Jennings and Private First Class
Myers and Private B.H. Carney were wounded by shell fire. Private
Bascome R. Durham was reported missing and was never heard of again.
- 11 -
Company “D”, Captain William Robinson, had two platoons
attached to the attacking Infantry (160th Brigade), one Platoon
repairing roads and one Platoon attached to Light Artillery. Men of the
company were many times in exposed positions and one officer and seven
men were wounded by shell and machine-gun fire as follows: 2nd Lieut.
Frederick Sonand, Sergeant Charles R. Blatt, Private First Class Andrew
Hardish, Private Henry Abrams, Private J.D. Brown, Private G.J. Presley,
Private C.F. Priest and Private P.J. Vallely.
Company “E”, under
command of Captain Irl D. Brent, after breaking camp east of Cornay at
2:30 A.M. joined the Infantry in the advance through Sommerance. The
bridge east of St. Georges being found intact, the company was put to
work on the St. Georges – Imecourt Road. The company transport was
subject to such severe fire that it was found necessary to unhitch the
horses and place them in a sunken trail for protection. The company dug
in north-west of St. Georges for the night. Severe casualties were
suffered in the course of the day. Private First Class Thedford H.
Fleenor was killed by shell fire near St. Georges. Sergeant First Class
C.E. Myers, Sergeant John A. Gordon, Corporal Alfred J. Hoffler,
Privates First Class J.N. Crytzer, J.A. Almon, F.L. Lowstetter, Giovanni
Scopel, Joseph McDonough and Privates E.R. Mockers, Leo Voltaire,
William T. King, George E. Hunt, E.F. Allshouse, S. Brocate, S.R.
Butler, E.J. Gorren, M. Leonard, W.M. Randles, W.R. Porch, and F.E.
Wotter were wounded.
Company “F”, Captain Fred G. Rockwell in
command of Company, moved forward from Fleville to St. Georges where
they established a Dump, when it was found that the bridges were intact.
A detail under Lieutenant Menko was assigned to duty with the Infantry,
destroying unexploded mines, and rendered valuable service. Sergeant
Carthow of this detail was instantly killed by machine-gun fire in an
encounter with the Germans. During the course of the work on roads
Corporal Smith was killed by shrapnel and Corporal R.E. Fraker and
Privates J.W. Burchill, V.A. Zanetto were wounded. Private Hatfield was
captured by the enemy, but later succeeded in making his escape and
returning to the company. Private J.H. Webb was severely wounded by a
machine-gun bullet. Master Engineer Jr/Gr. G.P. Donalds, Hq. Det.,
Corporals H.G. Brigman and M. Fabina, Privates Malone A. Damlevski, F.L.
Clark and A.W. Molinare were also wounded.
During the first day of
the attack, all units of the regiment were subjected to more or less
severe shell and machine-gun fire. The night was an uncomfortable and
trying experience for all the men. The only shelter obtainable was in
shell holes or in hastily constructed dugouts.
November 2nd found
the Germans in retreat but offering stubborn rearguard resistance at
many points. A general advance of several kilometers was made by the
Division, and, as on the previous day, much work was done by the
regiment in repairing bridges and roads, filling shell craters and in
aiding transportation.
As is generally the case on the 2nd day of an
attack the exact position and strength of the enemy was difficult to
determine. The weather though clear in the morning, became rainy in the
P.M., rendering aerial observation difficult. Shelling was less severe
than on the previous day and the casualties in the regiment were
lighter. Company “E” was billeted in Sivry for the night. The other
companies dug in during the night in positions in the neighborhood of
Imecourt and St. Georges. Regimental Headquarters moved to Imecourt. At
four P.M. of the same day the Engineer Train, left the location south of
Fleville and moved forward during the night. The Dump detail, consisting
chiefly of members of the Band, which had been performing excellent
service under Captain Shlessinger and Master Engineer Carns, also moved
from this location.
First Lieut. Henry G. Buckingham of “E” Company,
who had been gassed in the drive of September 26th, was admitted to the
hospital on this day. Sergeant James C. McConahy of “A” Company and
Private First Class Raymond V. Murray of Medical Detachment were
wounded.

November 3rd was the day of rapid forward
movement. Regimental Headquarters moved from Imecourt to Buzancy. The
Engineer Train after remaining several hours at Imecourt pushed on
through Buzancy to Bar. Company “A” assisted the advancing Infantry in
moving their Field Pieces. Company “C” continued working with the
Artillery. Companies “B”, “D”, “E” and “F” continued work on roads and
bridges. A detail from Company “B” also removed several hundred
demolition charges from the railroad tracks north of Buzancy. During the
construction of the bridge at S.E. entrance to Buzancy, Private John
Wojtkowick was killed, Sergeant G.A. Groves, Corporal Albert Trent, and
L.W. Sheasley all of “E” Company were wounded. Sergeant First Class
Jerome McLaughlin and Private First Class Joseph Golzinia were wounded
November 3rd.
The regiment had now entirely passed through the zone
covered by the preliminary American Bombardment and Barrage and into a
country untouched by shell fire. Of the towns passed through, St. George
was completely wrecked and the region about it so pitted with shell
holes that it was almost impossible to find a single spot of ground
where a man could have escaped destruction, while at Imecourt, though
many of the buildings were damaged, the greater number of them remained
standing. Most of the buildings in Buzancy were intact, but a block of
houses in central part of the town had been set on fire by the Germans
and was still blazing when the Engineer Headquarters moved into town on
the evening of the 3rd. On entering the houses it was found that in most
cases every thing of value had been removed and that they were in a very
dirty and uncared for state. Regimental Headquarters was located in a
large building
next to the church, where it remained until November
7th. Several of the companies were billeted in Buzancy and work was
continued in repairing roads, aiding transportation and destroying
unexploded mines.
The period from November 4th to November 7th was
occupied in the general advance of the division over the territory
abandoned by the enemy. Companies “A”, “E” and “F” engaged on advance
road work were subjected to hostile fire on a number of occasions in the
neighborhood of the towns of Vaux-en-Dieulet, Sommauthe and Beaumont and
there were a number of casualties. The rolling country with scattered
clumps of bushes and groups of trees north of Buzancy was particularly
favorable for machine-gun and light artillery defense. Several days
passed before it was certain that the region was absolutely clear of the
Germans. Of “A” Company, Private First Class Charles F. Bricker was
killed, Private A.L. Aker died of wounds, and Corporals Frank Allman and
Oscar J. Schwenning were wounded. Horseshoes Heragin Yuchnov, Wagner
Dick Dishong, Private First Class C.S. Suskey and Private A.W. Molinaro
of “F” Company were wounded.
On the night of November 4th at about
9:00 P.M. an enemy air raid was made on Buzancy. Several bombs were
dropped near the railroad station on the northern outskirts of the town,
there was a brief interval and then one bomb exploded in a building in
the center of town, so near to Regimental Headquarters that the crash of
falling beams and plaster could be heard. Four or five more bombs were
dropped somewhat further off and then the raider departed. The streets
were crowded with transport at the time and many men were billeted in
the town, but it is not known that any casualties were caused. On
November 6th Colonel Burgess was relieved and transferred to the 16th
Railroad Engineers. Lieut. Colonel George W. Knight assumed command of
the regiment. Captain John T. Morgan, Regimental Adjutant was ordered to
First Army and Captain Robert C. Levis was appointed Adjutant. Lieut.
Stuart was relieved from command of the Engineer Train and appointed
Acting Adjutant of the 2nd Battalion. First Lieut. Edward Sinclair was
assigned to command the Train. On the same day the Regiment was
transferred to the 5th Corps for duty and from November 6th to November
10th inclusive was assigned to work on roads in the vicinity of
Sommauthe.
- 13 -
The First Battalion was assigned the following
circuit: Harricourt-Sommauthe-St. Pierremont-Harricourt. The 2nd
Battalion was assigned to work on Sommauthe-Beaumont Road,
Sommauthe-Harricourt Road and Sommauthe -La Besace Road. The
Sommauthe-Beaumont road wa in particularly bad shape and the problem of
keeping traffic moving over it was difficult. Some assistance was
finally obtained from artillery tractors however, and by hard work day
and night, conditions were gradually improved. By November 7th the whole
regiment had moved to the general location of Sommauthe and was billeted
in this town and in the neighboring village of Vaux. Occasional enemy
shelling was experienced in and about these towns until November 9th.
During this period many French refugees from the towns freed by the
Americans arrived in Sommauthe. Most of them were in a miserable state
having plodded through the mud for many hours with little food and
scanty clothing. A relief headquarters was established in the church and
when as much had been done for the people as was possible under the
circumstances they were evacuated to the rear in such trucks and
ambulances as were available.
On November 10th the regiment was
reassigned to the 80th Division, and on November 11th, left the lines
and marched (18 kilo) to the village of Le Morte Homme where it remained
for the night. On arrival at Le Morte Homme the rumor that the Armistice
had been signed was confirmed and there was general rejoicing and
congratulation throughout the regiment. An impromptu concert was
arranged for the afternoon, and in the evening there was such a display
of lights, bonfires and “very lights” as France had not seen for over
four years.
On November 12th the regiment moved (16 kilo.) Chatel
Cheherry and on November 13th from Chatel Cheherry to the old location
at Camp Monhoven in the woods near Le Claon (20 kilo.) The weather
continued clear and cool and several companies slept in pup tents, but
later found more comfortable
quarters in the French barracks. Lieut.
Allcroft of Company “B” returned from the hospital on this day.
Inspection and muster was held on November 15th. 1st Lieut. Murphy,
Regimental Dental Surgeon, left for the hospital. 1st Lieut. Chesley of
Headquarters Detachment received orders to return to the United States.
Sergeants Richards, Kelly, Scollon and Sergeant Major Winter returned
from the hospital.
On November 16th leave passes were granted to
officers and enlisted men of the regiment and a detachment left for the
Aix-les-Bains leave area.
On November 18th the regiment broke camp
at Monhoven and started the long march to the Chatillon Area. The first
days march was to Passavant, a distance of 17 kilos. The march was taken
up the next day and continued according to the following schedule:
November 19th, Passavant to Sommeilles, 16 kilometers.
November
20th, Sommeilles to Sermaize-les-Bains and Alliancelles, 17 Kilos.
November 21st, Rested.
November 22nd, Sermaize to Villers-in-Lieu,
19 Kilometers.
November 23rd, Villers-in Lieu to Voillecomte. 19
Kilometers.
November 24th, Rested.
November 25th, Voillecomte to
Sommevoire, 18 Kilometers.
November 26th, Sommevoire to Lavigny, 20
Kilometers.
November 27th, Levigny to Nuisement, 20 Kilometers.
November 28th, Nuisement to Gye-sur-Seine, 28 Kilometers.
November
29th, Gye-sur-Seine to Rugny, 30 Kilometers.
November 30th, Rugny to
Aisy-sur-Armancon, 35 Kilometers.
Total distance covered, Sommauthe
to Aisy, 293 Kilometers.
- 14 -
The regiment made an excellent
showing on the march, good road discipline being maintained and few men
dropping out. The rather difficult problem of billeting the men each
night in the small towns through which the regiment passed was
successfully accomplished by Captain Samuel H. Sherrerd and Interpreter
Ferdinand Gely. Unusually favorable weather for the season was
experienced up to November 27th when three days of rain added to the
discomfort of the march. Upon arrival at Aisy arrangements for a
permanent stay were begun. The detachment which had been on leave was
awaiting the regiment at Aisy. The 2nd Battalion was billeted in Etivey
about 8 kilometers from Aisy and the Engineer Train in Perrigny about 3
kilometers away. The sojourn in this location was but short lived
however for on December 3rd orders were received to move without delay
to another location. The march began at 9:00 A.M. December 4th and the
night of that same day the regiment was located as follows, where we
remained throughout the winter:
Regimental Headquarters )
Headquarters Detachment )
Band ) Fulvy.
1st Battalion )
Engineer Train )
2nd Battalion ) Chassignelles.
The roads
throughout the entire Divisional Area were put in charge of the
Engineers and work commenced the latter part of December to keep them
open under the heavy traffic. The road work was our main job but in
spite of the extensive amount of roads to be maintained there were many
other engineering duties to be done and which were done well.
On
March 9th the 2nd Battalion moved to the Le Mans Area for construction
work – the 1st Battalion spreading out to handle the road work which had
been carried on by the 2nd Battalion. On March 20th the Division came
under the Command of the C.G.,S.O.S., and we were soldiers no longer.
The song which was heard throughout the division was, “Mother take in
your Service Flag your son’s in the S.O.S.”
On March 29th the
Division began its move to the Le Mans Area. The movement being
completed, with the exception of the Headquarters, Train, and 1st
Battalion of this regiment, and several detachments, left behind to
finish up the Engineering work throughout the area; about April 4th.
At present writing we are still located in Fulvy and expect orders in
the near future to rejoin our Division at the PORT.

16. FRANCES ELISHA3 KEEN (JOHN2, CAPT. ELISHA1)
was born 25 Apr 1820 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and died 19 Jul
1864 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. She married STOKELEY CARTER 18
Sep 1839 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. He was born 23 Apr 1815 in
Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and died 28 Sep 1873 in Pittsylvania
County, Virginia.
Notes for STOKELEY CARTER:
Most of the
information below is from Pittsylvania’s Nineteenth-Century Grist Mills
by Herman Melton, 1991.
The site of the Stony Mill was owned by
Thomas Smith in 1772. His will is recorded in Pittsylvania Co. in 1781
or 1787 (D & W Book 11, p. 123) in which he leaves 100 acres on the
Sandy River, north side, to his grandson Thomas, son of his son John. In
1824, grandson Thomas Smith set aside 10 acres for a grist mill. After
grandson Thomas died, his son William inherited the mill site. He sold
it in March (or May) 1837, and the transfer mentions that the earlier
mill had burned down (Pittsylvania Co., VA, Deed Book 40, p. 100). The
purchaser of the mill was Benjamin Watkins, who was known as a “wheeler
dealer”. Average businessmen were seriously affected by the bank Panic
of 1837, but Watkins could weather the storm.
Watkins took a partner,
Peter Guerrant, and opened the grist mill and a sawmill in 1841. In
1845, the assessed property included a carriage shop, tobacco factory,
sawmill, grist mill, and blacksmith shop. In 1852, Watkins and Guerrant
sold the mill and surrounding land to Elisha Ford Keen and William
Witcher Keen.
Records from 1850 show that the Keens had entered some
sort of partnership with Watkins. The Inventory of Manufactures in 1850
lists Keen and Watkins as the owners of a grist mill and a tobacco
factory.
On March 11, 1857, the Keens sold the 25-acres on which the
mill and shops sat to W. J. Blair (Pittsylvania Co., Deed Book 60, p.
171). Elisha Ford Keen had decided to run for the Virginia General
Assembly that year.
W. J. (Billy) Blair married Nancy Hutchings
(Nannie) Carter on 31 Dec 1863 in Pittsylvania Co. Nancy was the niece
of the Keen brothers who sold the mill; her mother Frances Elisha Keen
married Stokeley Carter. Stokeley Carter bought the mill from Billy
Blair, and Nannie and Billy headed to Augusta, GA.
Following the
Civil War, Stokeley was declared bankrupt on May 9, 1868. The subsequent
sale of the mill was to Charles Keen Carter, his eldest son, on 17 Sep
1869 (Deed Book 63, p. 338). Charles died in 1876, and left the mill to
his sister Mary Frances (Mollie) Carter (Will Book 3, p. 195
On 01
Sep 1878, Mollie sold the mill to her sister Nannie, widow of Billy
Blair (Pittsylvania Co., VA, Deed Book 74, p. 254). Nannie had moved
back to Pittsylvania Co. after the death of her husband in 1876 in
Augusta, GA.
Nannie Blair ran a profitable mill. At her death, she
was the owner of Stony Mill. In a deed dated 31 Oct 1910, Nannie’s heirs
agreed to sell Stony Mill to her son, their brother, Charles Blair. The
mill burned in the early 1930’s, and J. D. Hawkins bought Stony Mill
from Charles Blair on 15 Feb 1936 (Deed Book 226, p. 27).

If only I could leave for my children’s
children a mind picture of my grandparents so plain they would
immediately recognize them, I would be the great “I am”. However, I am
just me, although I would like to leave behind a few words of grace. For
grace was the foundation of which grandpa, Jesse Hare Keen, SR, stood.
He was as graceful as the apostles of old, faithful, patient, kind,
honest, unselfish, thoughtful, loving and good to every human, beast or
animal.
His family was the first concern and his religion next. He
loved hymns and held long conversations about Joseph Smith the Prophet.
The gospel was always his theme of conversation and he would walk miles
in snow and storm to do a favor to help anyone. In the early days he
owned slaves and never once was he known to abuse, scold, or punish one.
When their freedom was granted he gave each a start in life of money,
food, and homes. Even after the freedom was granted many of the slaves
pledged to stay with him, their “Master”. Two of them lived near by and
lived me to see me become eight years old and were both baptized into
the LDS church. I loved the good old souls. The woman was Fannie Keen
and was my father’s nurse maid, her husband was Abraham Graves. The old
Graves family was a good class of people who grandpa loved. At their
freedom they kept the Graves name.
Grandpa died when I was young but
put his last dime in my little hand when he saw me last. At the time of
his death he could hardly walk. He died a poor man but his riches went
for the poor, the poor but pure in heart and in spirit.
I hope
my grandsons will inherit all of his good points. What a happy reunion
it will be in the glory of our Heavenly Father.

I only remember
grandmother dimly. We did not see her often. She was pretty, fair, blue
eyes, dark hair, tall, slim, and spoiled. She had a lovely voice and
sang well. She was dignified and proud, but underneath her sweetness and
dignity there was a mean and overbearing streak. She was used to the
very best of everything, and had her way, they were very wealthy.
In
slavery days she was boss, mistress, lady, and queen. She was a good
mother and spoiled her children and grandchildren too much. She was of
Baptist Religion. Grandma made grandpa toe the mark, she was waited on
hand and foot. It is said that her abuse killed one little weakly slave,
Joe, her errand boy. She was a social fiend and a great dancer. During
the early years she had wines and strong drinks of the finest and
highest quality and adapted to Paregoric and Laudanum in her last years.
Grandpa had the patience of Jobe, that is pure love. After slavery
freedom, she pitted herself and made the family wait on her. I remember
seeing my Aunt Annie nurse her and on her death bed she managed to hug
me and say, “Be a good Girl”. The next week she died. Her corpse was so
very beautiful and everybody cried so much. There were so many friends,
neighbors, and kin folks. I wish I could remember them all. The family
loved and respected Mommie so very much. Yes she had faults, don’t we
all, but she was the finest character and from a noble family of English
Decent. She made a poor man of Grandpa with her extravagant tastes and
social life. However, she was good hearted and would give anything she
had to those she loved and respected, poor and rich alike.
I
feel she is resting peacefully and will accept the gospel now being
taught in the spirit world. I shall meet and know her some day and she
will be proud of me.
I love her and the rest of my people.
I
Fannie J. Keen make this my last will and testament hereby revoking all
former wills and cotiscles thereto, to wit, I direct my executor

It is my desire that
my afflicted daughter Josephine Keen after my death shall be cared for

purpose of supporting and caring for my said Daughter Josephine Keen
during her life, and at her death if any part thereof, is left it is to
be given to A. M. Keen whom cared for her.

and died in Ireland. She married (2) LINDSAY MCILWAINE Bet. Apr - May
1870. He was born in Ireland, and died in Augusta, GA.
Notes for
LUCY PARKE CARTER:
According to Mary Coleman Hylton, Lucy eloped to
marry Lindsay McIlwaine in May/April 1870. She was living with her
sister Nannie and her husband Billy Blair in Augusta, GA. Laura F. Neal
has a letter written to Lucy’s brother Charles from his grandfather John
Keen, dated 04 Apr 1870, in which grandfather Keen asks Charles to be
more forgiving of Lucy for her marriage and to support her. If her
marriage is as bad as Charles suspects, she will need his help.
Billy
had forbidden Lucy to see Lindsay. Lucy packed her clothes in a basket,
and told Nannie that she was going to the dressmaker. She either left a
note behind, or later sent one, that stated “Ere you read this, I will
be the wife of L.M.” Lindsay didn’t live long, and he asked Lucy to take
the children and go to his people in Ireland, which she did.
Lindsay’s partner Mr. Nelson, who was also Irish, returned to Ireland
with Lucy. They married in Ireland. When Mr. Nelson died, Lucy returned
to the U.S. and lived in Phoenix, Arizona. Her son Elmer had bought a
ranch in Arizona. Mary Hylton’s mother Olive Hutchings Fulton visited
her aunt Lucy Nelson in Arizona at some point.
In a letter to her
niece Lucy C. Fulton, dated 26 Oct 1912, Lucy Carter Nelson was living
with her son Elmer, his wife Mont, and their daughter Ruth. She talks of
delayed plans to join her son Lin in Washington State (he is not
permanently settled yet). Lucy Nelson is buried in Phoenix; her obituary
names her sons, but has no date of death.

FULTON 26 Sep 1878 in Stony Mills, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. He was
born 25 Aug 1844 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and died 28 Nov 1931
in Pittsylvania County, Virginia.
Notes for MARY FRANCES CARTER:
Mollie was a Charter Member of St. John’s Methodist Church, which was
built about 1896 on land that was donated by her sister, Nancy Hutchings
Carter Blair. Mollie and Nancy selected the name for the church, naming
it after one they had attended when they lived in Augusta, Georgia. The
church is still an active Methodist church, on the Stony Mill Road.

16. FRANCES ELISHA3 KEEN (JOHN2, CAPT. ELISHA1)
was born 25 Apr 1820 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and died 19 Jul
1864 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. She married STOKELEY CARTER 18
Sep 1839 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. He was born 23 Apr 1815 in
Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and died 28 Sep 1873 in Pittsylvania
County, Virginia.
Notes for STOKELEY CARTER:
Most of the
information below is from Pittsylvania’s Nineteenth-Century Grist Mills
by Herman Melton, 1991.
The site of the Stony Mill was owned by
Thomas Smith in 1772. His will is recorded in Pittsylvania Co. in 1781
or 1787 (D & W Book 11, p. 123) in which he leaves 100 acres on the
Sandy River, north side, to his grandson Thomas, son of his son John. In
1824, grandson Thomas Smith set aside 10 acres for a grist mill. After
grandson Thomas died, his son William inherited the mill site. He sold
it in March (or May) 1837, and the transfer mentions that the earlier
mill had burned down (Pittsylvania Co., VA, Deed Book 40, p. 100). The
purchaser of the mill was Benjamin Watkins, who was known as a “wheeler
dealer”. Average businessmen were seriously affected by the bank Panic
of 1837, but Watkins could weather the storm.
Watkins took a partner,
Peter Guerrant, and opened the grist mill and a sawmill in 1841. In
1845, the assessed property included a carriage shop, tobacco factory,
sawmill, grist mill, and blacksmith shop. In 1852, Watkins and Guerrant
sold the mill and surrounding land to Elisha Ford Keen and William
Witcher Keen.
Records from 1850 show that the Keens had entered some
sort of partnership with Watkins. The Inventory of Manufactures in 1850
lists Keen and Watkins as the owners of a grist mill and a tobacco
factory.
On March 11, 1857, the Keens sold the 25-acres on which the
mill and shops sat to W. J. Blair (Pittsylvania Co., Deed Book 60, p.
171). Elisha Ford Keen had decided to run for the Virginia General
Assembly that year.
W. J. (Billy) Blair married Nancy Hutchings
(Nannie) Carter on 31 Dec 1863 in Pittsylvania Co. Nancy was the niece
of the Keen brothers who sold the mill; her mother Frances Elisha Keen
married Stokeley Carter. Stokeley Carter bought the mill from Billy
Blair, and Nannie and Billy headed to Augusta, GA.
Following the
Civil War, Stokeley was declared bankrupt on May 9, 1868. The subsequent
sale of the mill was to Charles Keen Carter, his eldest son, on 17 Sep
1869 (Deed Book 63, p. 338). Charles died in 1876, and left the mill to
his sister Mary Frances (Mollie) Carter (Will Book 3, p. 195
On 01
Sep 1878, Mollie sold the mill to her sister Nannie, widow of Billy
Blair (Pittsylvania Co., VA, Deed Book 74, p. 254). Nannie had moved
back to Pittsylvania Co. after the death of her husband in 1876 in
Augusta, GA.
Nannie Blair ran a profitable mill. At her death, she
was the owner of Stony Mill. In a deed dated 31 Oct 1910, Nannie’s heirs
agreed to sell Stony Mill to her son, their brother, Charles Blair. The
mill burned in the early 1930’s, and J. D. Hawkins bought Stony Mill
from Charles Blair on 15 Feb 1936 (Deed Book 226, p. 27).

If only I could leave for my children’s
children a mind picture of my grandparents so plain they would
immediately recognize them, I would be the great “I am”. However, I am
just me, although I would like to leave behind a few words of grace. For
grace was the foundation of which grandpa, Jesse Hare Keen, SR, stood.
He was as graceful as the apostles of old, faithful, patient, kind,
honest, unselfish, thoughtful, loving and good to every human, beast or
animal.
His family was the first concern and his religion next. He
loved hymns and held long conversations about Joseph Smith the Prophet.
The gospel was always his theme of conversation and he would walk miles
in snow and storm to do a favor to help anyone. In the early days he
owned slaves and never once was he known to abuse, scold, or punish one.
When their freedom was granted he gave each a start in life of money,
food, and homes. Even after the freedom was granted many of the slaves
pledged to stay with him, their “Master”. Two of them lived near by and
lived me to see me become eight years old and were both baptized into
the LDS church. I loved the good old souls. The woman was Fannie Keen
and was my father’s nurse maid, her husband was Abraham Graves. The old
Graves family was a good class of people who grandpa loved. At their
freedom they kept the Graves name.
Grandpa died when I was young but
put his last dime in my little hand when he saw me last. At the time of
his death he could hardly walk. He died a poor man but his riches went
for the poor, the poor but pure in heart and in spirit.
I hope
my grandsons will inherit all of his good points. What a happy reunion
it will be in the glory of our Heavenly Father.

Grandmother Keen
Written By:

I only remember
grandmother dimly. We did not see her often. She was pretty, fair, blue
eyes, dark hair, tall, slim, and spoiled. She had a lovely voice and
sang well. She was dignified and proud, but underneath her sweetness and
dignity there was a mean and overbearing streak. She was used to the
very best of everything, and had her way, they were very wealthy.
In
slavery days she was boss, mistress, lady, and queen. She was a good
mother and spoiled her children and grandchildren too much. She was of
Baptist Religion. Grandma made grandpa toe the mark, she was waited on
hand and foot. It is said that her abuse killed one little weakly slave,
Joe, her errand boy. She was a social fiend and a great dancer. During
the early years she had wines and strong drinks of the finest and
highest quality and adapted to Paregoric and Laudanum in her last years.
Grandpa had the patience of Jobe, that is pure love. After slavery
freedom, she pitted herself and made the family wait on her. I remember
seeing my Aunt Annie nurse her and on her death bed she managed to hug
me and say, “Be a good Girl”. The next week she died. Her corpse was so
very beautiful and everybody cried so much. There were so many friends,
neighbors, and kin folks. I wish I could remember them all. The family
loved and respected Mommie so very much. Yes she had faults, don’t we
all, but she was the finest character and from a noble family of English
Decent. She made a poor man of Grandpa with her extravagant tastes and
social life. However, she was good hearted and would give anything she
had to those she loved and respected, poor and rich alike.
I
feel she is resting peacefully and will accept the gospel now being
taught in the spirit world. I shall meet and know her some day and she
will be proud of me.
I love her and the rest of my people.
I
Fannie J. Keen make this my last will and testament hereby revoking all
former wills and cotiscles thereto, to wit, I direct my executor
hereinafter named to pay all my just debts.
It is my desire that
my afflicted daughter Josephine Keen after my death shall be cared for
by my daughter Annie M. Keen. I give and bequeath unto P. L. Booth, one
thousand dollars ($1000.00) to be held by him in trust and used for the
purpose of supporting and caring for my said Daughter Josephine Keen
during her life, and at her death if any part thereof, is left it is to
be given to A. M. Keen whom cared for her.
As soon as possible
after my death I direct my executor hereinafter named to partition my
entire estate real personal and mixed equally among all of children
namely, to wit, Mary E. Patton, Dr. E. C. Keen, A. M. Keen, J. H. Keen,

children to share equal in this third clause. In witness I have hereunto

51. LUCY PARKE4 CARTER
(FRANCES ELISHA3 KEEN, JOHN2, CAPT. ELISHA1) was born 1850 in
Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and died Aft. Oct 1912 in Phoenix,
Arizona. She married (1) JOHN NELSON in Ireland. He was born in Ireland,
and died in Ireland. She married (2) LINDSAY MCILWAINE Bet. Apr - May
1870. He was born in Ireland, and died in Augusta, GA.
Notes for
LUCY PARKE CARTER:
According to Mary Coleman Hylton, Lucy eloped to
marry Lindsay McIlwaine in May/April 1870. She was living with her
sister Nannie and her husband Billy Blair in Augusta, GA. Laura F. Neal
has a letter written to Lucy’s brother Charles from his grandfather John
Keen, dated 04 Apr 1870, in which grandfather Keen asks Charles to be
more forgiving of Lucy for her marriage and to support her. If her
marriage is as bad as Charles suspects, she will need his help. Billy
had forbidden Lucy to see Lindsay. Lucy packed her clothes in a basket,
and told Nannie that she was going to the dressmaker. She either left a
note behind, or later sent one, that stated “Ere you read this, I will
be the wife of L.M.” Lindsay didn’t live long, and he asked Lucy to take
the children and go to his people in Ireland, which she did.
Lindsay’s partner Mr. Nelson, who was also Irish, returned to Ireland
with Lucy. They married in Ireland. When Mr. Nelson died, Lucy returned
to the U.S. and lived in Phoenix, Arizona. Her son Elmer had bought a
ranch in Arizona. Mary Hylton’s mother Olive Hutchings Fulton visited
her aunt Lucy Nelson in Arizona at some point. In a letter to her niece
Lucy C. Fulton, dated 26 Oct 1912, Lucy Carter Nelson was living with
her son Elmer, his wife Mont, and their daughter Ruth. She talks of
delayed plans to join her son Lin in Washington State (he is not
permanently settled yet). Lucy Nelson is buried in Phoenix; her obituary
names her sons, but has no date of death.
