36825 The Elkin Tribune, March 7, 2017

Residents of the Elkin area are mourning the loss of community leader and former Elkin mayor Dr. Jim Harrell Sr. following his death Monday afternoon.

A graduate of Elkin High School, Harrell, who was 94, joined the U.S. Navy Dental Corps serving until 1946 rejoining the corps during the Korean War. After his military service, Harrell continued to serve the community as Elkin commissioner and three terms as Elkin mayor during which time improvements were made such as a new water plant, an airport, a regional library, a sewer plant, fire station, two bridges and the hospital.

?The life of Jim Harrell brought many accomplishments to Elkin, North Carolina, and even the nation in the dental community, but that is nothing when I think of the humility he followed when he served,? said former Elkin mayor, Tom Gwyn. ?He never took credit for anything. I believe that spirit will prevail even after he is gone.?

Although a part of local politics, it was perhaps his nearly 70 years as an Elkin dentist that made him so familiar to so many residents. In spite of fears and anxiety often caused by visits to the dentist, Harrell was known for being congenial and jovial.

On his last day as a dentist, patient Rebecca Boles, who had worked for the practice from 1947-50, told of an incident that happened shortly after she became engaged. ?I was helping him at the chair one day and the autoclave that cleans the equipment was nearby,? said Boles, who claimed it was wonderful to work with Harrell. ?I reached to get the instruments and knocked the tray. They all fell to the floor, you?ve never heard such a clatter. Dr. Jim said to the patient, ?Well, Rebecca?s dropped the diamond out of her ring.? I was so embarrassed.?

At his side for 17 years as a dental assistant was Harrell?s wife, Isabel, who passed in 2015 after 70 years of marriage. ?She took such good care of things,? said a wistful Harrell during an interview last month. ?We always supported one another. That?s important for a good marriage.?

Harrell was so intent upon helping others that even in casual conversation he tried to share knowledge that he hoped would make their lives easier.

As one of the first members of the Elkin Boy Scout troop in 1920, which was started by his father, the lessons Harrell learned in Scouts were instrumental in his personal and professional success. Along with Fred Norman, Harrell received the first Good Scout Awards to ever be presented in the Laurel District in May of 2016. ?Scouting has been a guiding force in my life, the scout oath and scout laws,? said Harrell during his acceptance speech.

?The Scouts appreciate everything Dr. Harrell has done through the years for Scouting. It?s people like him who make sure Scouting stays strong for the people of our community,? said Bob Watkins, district commissioner for the Laurel District of the Boy Scouts of America. ?I thought the world of Dr. Harrell.?

Harrell was delighted in the community he lived and died in often recounting lessons on the history of Elkin and its residents as well as the state, or sharing stories of the many individuals who were fortunate to have spent time in his company. Having made it a point to ask questions of his listeners, Harrell was full of information on many subjects, his most favorite seeming to be people, particularly his family.

Harrell once said, ?I am so proud of my four wonderful children and their spouses, my nine grandchildren and my 11 great-grandchildren,? but he was just as proud of his father and grandfather, who were instrumental in bringing Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital and its high quality standards to Elkin. Harrell was fond of explaining the progression of the hospital, knowing important dates even when he didn?t know how to turn on the internet.

It is at the Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital where a patient tower was named in honor of Harrell and his late wife. ?Our hospital trustees and foundation board wanted to commemorate Dr. and Mrs. Harrell for their countless contributions to Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital over the years,? said Paul Hammes, CEO of HCMH, at the time of the naming.

Upon Harrell?s death, Hammes stated, ?Dr. Harrell brought a pioneering vision and spirit to our hospital and foundation, serving as foundation chairman for 18 years from its inception in 1997. Moreover, in every word and deed Dr. Harrell epitomized all that is good in healthcare and community, encouraging each of us to dream big and to serve others without reservation or judgment. His remarkable presence and legacy will positively impact our hospital and community for years to come.?

Harrell?s reach stretched beyond the town of Elkin. Harrell also served as president of the University of North Carolina General Alumni Association, where he also was able to influence change. On a recent visit, current President Douglas Dibbert revealed that Harrell was the reason Winter Graduation at UNC is more than a small gathering in a dining hall. ?Jim came to one of our board meetings and he was hot. He wanted to know why on the eve of our bicentennial would we not want these students to have the climactic experience that the students had in May.? Students now have the benefit of the formality of graduation ceremonies whether they graduate in May or December.

It was during the dedication of the patient tower at HCMH that Harrell said, ?I love the town of Elkin which has been my home for 94 years. I have enjoyed and appreciated all the projects and challenges that have been presented to me and do not regret a single one.?
Funeral arrangements for Harrell can be found inside Wednesday?s edition.

36826 The family story is that Bobby came to the US from England. He was playing and pulled a chair out from under a woman. She died. He was indentured to a blacksmith in Maryland after the incident, arriving at the US in Philadelphia. In Maryland, he chose not to stay with the blacksmith for the seven-year indenture, but instead swam the Potomac River after four years and settled in Virginia. He was a blacksmith and a carpenter. Originally he went to Floyd County, Virginia, then Grayson/Carroll County.

After he came to the US, six more of Bobby?s brothers followed. Two of them settled in New York. We don?t know what happened to the others.

36828 THE FOLLOWING NOTES SUPPLIED BY FRANK E. COCKERHAM

John Cockerham made an entry 1289 in 1814 for 150 acres beginning at the head of Bunkers Hill Branch. However, the entry must have been unsuccessful, because William Parsons made entry 1877 for land identically described in 1818 and recieved a grant, as mentioned above.
John Cockerham's other entry 1688 was described as beginning "in his fathers line running east with Samuel Parsons line...north with Gyns line...west with Hunts line..." see fig 1.
John (with his brother David) Cockerham were privates in the Company of James Mastin in a muster list of 8 July, 1812 (WGS 11-3-14). John married Fannie Wades on 3 Oct. 1814 with William Persons bondsman (Holcomb). In the 1820 Census, John was in the 26-45 age group, {Fannie} was 16-26, and two daughters and one son were all less than 10 years. Although John Cockerham's entry 1688 was for 90 acres, the tax list of 1823 indicated only 60 acres. In the tax list of 1829, John Cockerham did not appear; apparently already deceased. John was born before 1794; probably by 1793 since he was making land entries in 1814.
In Feb 1830, Court of Wilkes County, "Daniel Cockerham, age 8 years Jan 1830, and David Cockerham age 6 yrs June 1830, children of John Cockerham deceased, bound to Daniel Willcoxson" (WGS 18-1-18). In the 1830 census, Fanny Cockerham was listed with one daughter of 5-10 and one son less than 5 years. The total children appears to be 4 sons and 3 daughters, but Fanny and her orphaned children could not be found in later records.

36829 The following was published by the Greensboro, North Carolina News & Record newspaper on July 9, 2016.
________________________________________________

STONEVILLE ? While public information requests to the Rockingham County Sheriff?s Office from the News & Record for files, dashcam and body-camera footage related to a deputy-involved shooting Sunday morning have been refused, an audio tape of the incident has appeared on the internet video site YouTube.

Todd Brent Burroughs, 38, was shot to death by deputies in his own driveway on Garrett Road in Stoneville following a traffic stop.

The State Bureau of Investigation, the agency charged with investigating the shooting, said deputies spotted a suspicious vehicle behind a business. Investigators have said that Burroughs didn't stop for several miles, even though deputies followed Burroughs' pickup truck for several miles using blue lights.

In the audio on YouTube sirens can be heard as well in a chase sequence that appears to continue for approximately a 1 minute, 34 seconds, with speeds of 50 mph, according to the recording.

Family members have said Burroughs got out of the truck in his driveway and that deputies used pepper spray and a stun gun on Burroughs and also shot his dog.

SBI special agent in charge Scott Williams told the News & Record on Sunday that Burroughs struggled with deputies and was shot.

There is no indication whether the nearly 12-minute YouTuberecording was edited or posted in full.
Officers on the recording are identified only as No. 21 and No. 18. Their names have not been made public by the sheriff's office or the SBI.

The News & Record asked for a list of deputies' call numbers, and Rockingham County Sheriff's spokesman Kevin Suthard responded in an email that that information is not subject to records laws.

"After consulting with our legal team, I have been told that we cannot release the deputies' call/badge numbers as they are not part of the public record," Suthard wrote. "I am told that the SBI will be releasing the names of the deputies involved in Sunday's incident in the near future, though I am not sure exactly when that will be."

Suthard also sent separate emails to reporters to say that the requested video would not be released per the county's policy. The county's written response has not been received.

But the scenario that unfolds on the audio account appears to confirm the outline of events as related by Williams and others. The audio details that the first report of shots fired was at 3 minutes and 53 seconds into the audio.

Here is how that scenario ? times are intervals into the recording ? unfolded in the audio account posted on YouTube:

0:19 ? With his patrol vehicle?s siren blaring, a deputy can be heard giving Burroughs' location to a Rockingham County dispatcher as he's following a white Dodge pickup truck on Fulp Sawmill Road [which runs east from U.S. 220 Business in Stoneville].

0:37 ? The deputy and truck are now on Price Road.

0:43 ? Deputy tells the dispatcher that he is chasing Burroughs, and that the vehicle was on the side of the road.

1:22 ? Dispatcher wants to know what additional officers would be responding too.

1:29 ? Deputy calls out the truck?s license plate numbers.

1:43 ? Burroughs and Deputy turn onto Garrett Road, heading east.

2:17 ? Deputy: ?C-Com, we just turned into a residence.? (Deputy doesn't know the address.) ?We?re still mobile,? he tells dispatcher.

2:29 ? Deputy asks the dispatcher to limit talk on the channel until officers ?21 and 18? can tell the dispatcher what's going on.

3:15 ? During a minute of silence, the dispatcher asks if everything is OK. Deputy: "10-4" (OK)

3:53 ? Deputy: ?Copy 21, shots fired!? (21 is the person speaking)

3:57 ? ?Copy, shots fired.? Unclear whether dispatch or 18.
A male voice can be heard saying ?stay back? or ?go back.?

4:01 ? Stoneville Police officer says he is on his way to Garrett Road.

4:13 ? Dispatch says the pickup truck?s license plate comes back to 3287 Garrett Road, the address of the driveway where deputies stopped Burroughs.

4:35 ? Dispatcher requests responding officers use lights and sirens.

4:39 ? Deputy: ?Shots fired again!?

4:45 ? Deputy: ?We need EMS! Man down!?

5:01 ? Deputy: ?18, 18 to C-Com, have EMS en route, 10-39 [urgent, use lights and sirens], man down!?

5:17 ? Dispatch: "Eighteen, who's shot, suspect or 21?"

5:20 ? Deputy: ?Suspect.?

5:36 ? An unidentified police officer asks dispatcher if the county needs assistance.

5:39 ? Dispatch: ?They have not requested it at this time. If you have a unit that wants to start that way, the suspect is down at this time.?

6:04 ? A responding officer asks for the Garrett Road address.

6:11 ? Call tone for EMS is broadcast.

6:34 ? Dispatcher gives Garrett Road to EMS. A radio in the background can be heard, on which a deputy says, ?CPR in progress, have EMS stage.?

7:30 ? Dispatcher to EMS: ?Reference to a chase and gunshots. Suspect down at this time, CPR in progress.?

8:08 ? Eden Police: ?All Eden units, just [for your information], CPR in progress with the suspect.?

8:42 ? 9:40 ? Eden Police say alarm is going off in town.

9:41 ? EMS to dispatcher: ?Be advised, let personnel on scene know that we have approximately 12 minutes until we get on the scene.?

9:52 ? Dispatcher to EMS: ?Fire?s en route with you.?

10:18-10:58 ? Discussion of who?s on the way.

10:59 ? An unknown person asks if assistance is needed, to which the response is, ?We should be good.?

Hello,

I was very impressed with your efforts in the recording of family information. I have been trying to find out more on my mother's family...Robert Nathaniel Owen and Ennis Ethel Coon were her parents. My husband also has a web site www.mountpilotgospelsingers.org and I know how difficult and time consuming it is to get everything write on the web. Through your web site, I was able to retrieve more information that I didn't have.

I did find a few errors that you might want to correct if you have the time...My dad Willie Elbert Gibbons (not Givens) married Earline Marie Owen Rawden Rippey (not Roden Rappey) married my Aunt Lucille Owen My Uncle Clyde Owen married Lula Belle Wright children: Randy, Judy Lynn, and you do not have their third child, Barry.
My Aunt Patricia Owen did not stay married to Pean Cain very long. She married Darryl L. Smith and had a child Stevie.

I spent several hours looking over your web site, and again want to commend you for such a job well done. I still can't find much about the Coon/ Saunders family. If you have any suggestions on how I might find more about these families who lived in the Shoals area of Surry county please let me know. I am a retired school teacher, and have spent so much time in the classroom teaching 4th and 6th grades that I do not know much about the research of family history.Thank you for sharing your findings with others. 		GIBBONS, William Hugh (I41205)

CIVIL WAR MEMOIR OF WILEY EBENEEZER PATTERSON

The narrative which follows was written about 1897 by Wiley Ebenezer Patterson, Orderly Sergeant, Company E. 53rd Regiment, North Carolina Volunteer Infantry, Army of-the Confederacy.

Born in Henry County, Virginia on November 23, 1843, the son of Rachel E. Ward and Julius E. Patterson he enlisted in the army on March 27, 1862; was captured on March 20, 1865 and was released on June 16, 1865.

In 1867 he married Margaret Sparger and fathered thirteen children, eight boys and five girls. He stayed in Mt. Airy and went into the tobacco business with a neighbor, R. J. Reynolds. They borrowed money to develop a machine to make cigarettes. Shortly after there was a bank panic, their loan was called in and they could not pay it and were forced into bankruptcy.

Reynolds moved to Winston-Salem and resumed his tobacco business, Patterson stayed in Mt. Airy and paid off his indebtedness after which he moved down to Greensboro and went into the provision business.

He died there on September 3, 1912 of cancer which probably was caused by the wound he received at Berryville.

Wiley Ebenezer Patterson wrote this account of his experiences as a Confederate soldier in an old day book ledger which I found in my father's effects when he died. My father, Walter Hurley Patterson, was the tenth of thirteen Children. He died at Saranac Lake, New York on August 10, 1939.

As many old veterans are telling their experiences in the late War Between the States, we will relate a few incidents as we recall them. They may not be interesting to many, but they will, perhaps, give the reader some idea of a soldier's life in camp, on the march, and on the field of battle. We, being only a soldier in the ranks, will not attempt to give anything official or to tell anything about what the big officers did, but will give it as a soldier saw it at the time (and should we use the pronoun "I" too fully, we hope that the reader will remember that we are giving only our own personal experience. Of course, many dates will be left out and many incidents will be left unmentioned that might be referred to but for the fact that our memory is dimmed by time, as it has been thirty-five years since our life as a soldier began.

As we were travelling in South Carolina and Georgia at the time, we will pass over the election of Lincoln and the secession of the States and will come up to March 1862. On our return from a trip to Augusta, Georgia we learned that there would be a battalion muster at Mr. Evan Davis' about seven miles below Mt. Airy. We had just become a member of a militia company. We met on the morning of the twenty- seventh of March, formed the battalion, marched and counter-marched. There had to be a certain number of men from each company raised for the army. If they did not volunteer, they were to be drafted. Most of the companies raised their quota by volunteers, but some companies had to run a draft. Our company raised her quota by volunteers and was organized and known as the Farmer Boys.

We elected James G. Norman, Captain; H. D. Hill, 1st; Samuel Walker, 2nd; Henry Hines, 3rd Lieuts. We then knocked around home until sometime in April. We drew $50 as State Bounty. We then started to the front. There was a big dinner spread at Warhill, some ten miles below Mt. Airy. Then began the march to the railroad, stopping the first night at Mr. James Pace's near Pilot Mountain, about where the town of Pinnacle now stands. The next night we spent at Winston where our officers got their uniforms, then on to High Point where we spent the next night and many of the boys saw their first railroad train.

We left there next morning on the train and landed in Raleigh in due time. Went into camp at Camp Mangum, drilled for some time and organized the 53rd Regiment, N.C.V.I. by electing W. A. Owen of Charlotte, Colonel J. T. Morehead of Greensboro, Lt. Colonel, and James J. Iredell, Major.

During the summer we were moved to Garysburg, N.C. to drill and to guard the railroad bridge across the Roanoke River. Here, while making the guard rounds one night, we came across Dan Reese asleep at post. We had a little fun at his expense--passed on and did not report him.

From here we were moved to Virginia to take part in the Seven Days' fight then going on. We were marched out near Bermuda Hundreds, but were not actually engaged in the fight. We went into camp near Durey's Bluff for a few days and then marched back to Petersburg. Went into camp at Mechanicsville Factory. Here I was taken down with typhoid fever and was sent to First North Carolina Hospital at Petersburg.

I stayed here only about two weeks when I asked for a discharge and rejoined the Regiment then camped at Weldon, N.C. I expected to get a furlough, but the Regiment got marching orders next morning so I was sent on to hospital at Wilson. I stayed there but a short time. When I next found the Regiment, it was camped near Durey's Bluff. However, I was soon ordered to make a raid down on Black Water in Virginia. As I was pronounced unfit for duty; I was left in camp which was turned over to Lt. Hill and ourselves to take care of. We had a very good time of it.

After the return of the Regiment, we stayed here and drilled until the weather got cold. We then went over on Proctor's Creek and built winter quarters. Just about the time we had got settled, as we thought for the winter, we were ordered to Goldsboro, N.C. where there was a little fight going on.

As our engine was old and rather disabled and our engineer was somewhat afraid of Yankees, we did not get there until the fight was over. We went into camp near Goldsboro and had a very flood time foraging around for roasting potatoes and corn.

There came a snow about the same time we got marching orders. We struck out for Kinston through the snow. Stopped for the night in the woods where we had no camp equipage whatever. Hill and myself sent Joseph Coffle to a field and got a turn of fodder that we spread on some rails and made our bed on it. We went into camp near Kinston and spent some time in marching towards New Bern and back, wading swamps and so forth. We had some skirmishing, but no battle worth naming. Went over to Washington and made the Yankees think that we had come for a fight. Here we had our first real experience on picket duty.

There was a very straight road thrown up through the swamp. It lead from town, which was occupied by the Yankees, to our works a distance of about a mile. Some boys from Wilk's Company had gone up the road just after dark. They heard something in the water which they thought was Yanks trying to flank them. They came running back and reported that the Yanks were coming. We were all thrown into line of battle and after waiting some time, Captain Hill took ten of his men and went to see about it. After going about half way, we learned that it was some cattle that had alarmed the Wilk's boys, We were ordered to take a man and post him as vidette. We took W. H. Goings and after going some distance, we asked him how much farther he would go as far as we would. We went on very easy, however, until we could hear them walk. We stopped and listened--could hear them spit on the ground very plainly. We kept our vidette here until just before day and then withdrew him. Fell back from here to Greenville where we were put with 'Lieutenant Alexander in charge of the Provost Guard of the town and we had quite a good time of it.

We finally got back to camp at Kinston. Here we drilled and did all kinds of mischief that soldiers are liable to do. We were often kept out all night wading swamps and running in Yankee pickets. We were marched out one day and saw 22 men hung. They were North Carolinians who had joined the Yankees and had been captured by us. We called them "Buffalos". While here, we were under the command of Generals D. H. Hill, Pettigrew, Daniels and others.

In the early spring we were ordered to Virginia where the Battle of Chancellorsville was in progress. We did not reach Richmond in time to take part in this battle. We went into camp at old Camp Lee for a few days; then went on to camp near Fredericksburg. Here General Lee had a Grand Review of the Army. It had been re-organized into 3 army corps.

General A. P. Hill was placed in command of the First; R. S. Ewell the Second; General Longstreet the Third. We were in the Second Army Corps, Rhodes' Division, Daniel's Brigade. R. E. Rhodes had just been promoted from Brigadier to Major General and well he deserved the honor as we afterwards learned.

We soon struck out on the ever memorable march to Pennsylvania. We will pass over many of the events of that long march--how we waded the Potomac River and marched day after day barefooted and how we captured horses, cattle, sheep, etc. We will, however, give just a few incidents.

When we were getting just about to Berryville (we were on rear guard and barefooted) the command was quickly thrown into line of battle. The Major ordered us to take charge of other barefoot guards and some men that we had under guard for desertion and to stop in a certain grove and to wait until he sent for us.

We soon heard firing and then all was quiet. Then we saw parties returning who told us that the fight was over and that the army had moved on, but still no orders came to us. We spent the night in the grove and concluded that we had been forgotten and that we had better move on, so we went to Berryville where we learned that part of the troops had gone in the direction of Martinsburg and part had taken the road to Charlestown, but no one could tell us which route Rhode's division had taken.

We went back to camp in the grove, resolved to obey orders--- staying until sent for if it took all summer. About the middle of the day we saw Captain William Hill riding along the road and we hailed him. He said that Colonel Owen had sent him for us and to take our time and overtake the Regiment when we could and if any of our prisoners gave us any trouble to shoot them down and come on.

Just as we had passed through town we were met by citizens who informed us that the Yanks were in the road just ahead of us and tried to get us to turn back; said that we were sure to be captured. As we had set in to obey orders, we moved on expecting to meet the Yankee cavalry at every turn of the road. We passed where they had run into our wagon train, but did not see a single Yank.

Late in the evening we saw a carriage drive into the road in front of us and stop. When we came up, a lady called to us and said that she had something for us to eat, if we would accept. As we were not then in a refusing mood, we stopped. She had seen us pass a point some miles back and said she thought we looked hungry and had taken nearer cuts through the fields by her home and come out ahead of us with a large basket well filled with things good. We then thought she was the kindest lady we ever saw for we had begun to feel the want of rations.

We did not overtake our command that night so we took up camp in a skirt of woods near Bunker Hill. As we were all so very tired, we did not post any guard that night, but told the men that if any of the prisoners started off, to shoot them. Next morning we awoke just in time to see William Hicks before he got out of sight. He heard us stir, turned, came back and said that he had not started to leave us, no how! We soon overtook the command and turned our prisoners over to Colonel Owen all right.

We got hold of an old sheepskin that Isaac Whitaker had thrown away. We cut it in two and tied our feet up in it, the wool side out. The boys said that my track looked like an elephant's track, but we got along all right with them until we got to Pennsylvania where we got us a pair of Yankee shoes.

When near a little town in Pennsylvania, the name of which we have forgotten, we were sent out on picket some distance from the main line of march. There had been some runaway negroes living near where we stopped. They had fled at our appearance and left a barrel of flour. We with Thos. J. Tilly and Wm. Gardiner got some of the flour and carried it to a large brick house nearby to get them to make us some bread. A young lady proposed making our bread for us. She drew us into conversation about the country. Finding that we thought it a very fine section, she asked us how we would like to live there. She said she would take special care of us and would see that we did not want for anything and if the Johnnies should return she would hide us where they could not find us. We told her we would not quit the army without an honorable discharge nor could we take the oath of allegiance to the U.S., she gave us up as a bad case, gave us our bread and we went on our way.

The day that we reached Carlisle, our Regt. was the advance Regt. of the army. We had with us a smart Alec kind of fellow who was always meddling with everybody else's affairs. We had a few words as we marched along. We crossed the road and spoke to Captain Hill.
He wanted to know what we said to the Captain. We told him that we had told the Captain that we intended to whip him that night as soon as we got to camp. He said that we had better do it then. We told him that we believed we would and proceeded to knock him down and fell to thrashing him right then and there. The Major came rushing up with the guard and ordered us both arrested. The Captain would not suffer them to arrest me. They took my opponent and kept him all night and next day stood him with his back to the fence with his arms around the top rail for two hours.

Captain S. B. Taylor gave us all the tobacco we wanted for that job. We spent the night as Provost Guard in the town of Carlisle. The citizens treated us very kindly. They would prepare meals for us and show other evidences of kindness. We got us a nice new hat there.

We left here for Gettysburg where we entered into the never-to-be-forgotten Battle. As this was our first regular engagement, we hardly knew how to behave ourselves. The first thing we noticed being struck was a large hog that was feeding nearby. It cut a terrible shine, turning around several times and squealing awfully. Then Capt. Miller of Wilks County was killed, then our Lieutenant Thomas Tilley and many other brave men fell.

It was here that we got our first wound. While lying down trying our very best to lay in the ground regardless of our new hat, a ball came along, tipped Lieut. Beamis's hat and hit us plumb on the rump. It sounded like as if you had hit something with a board and hurt, as we thought then, awful bad. Beam asked me if I was hurt much. told him that I was hurt, but could not tell how bad. Asked him to look and see if he saw any blood. He said he did not. We then felt and finding no hole, not even in our pants, we concluded that the ball had not gone entirely through us and felt much better and when the order to go forward came, we forgot all about it.

General Iverson's Brigade had just been badly cut to pieces (so much so that we heard no more of Iverson's Brigade). We were ordered to charge at the same place where they had fallen. As we were new at the business, we raised a yell and went at them as hard as we could run. The Yankees, seeing that we had no more sense than to run right over them, took to their heels and ran like good fellows. We ran them until ordered to stop. Some of us did not stop even then. William Adkins, George Marler and the writer kept on until we overtook a batch of Yanks, captured and brought them back. The Colonel threatened to cashier Adkins for disobedience of orders. We slept that night on the battle field with the dead all around us. We got clothes, gum coats and such things as a soldier usually carries, in abundance. for the Yanks were well loaded.

We have often thought of a hasty action of ours that evening. We stepped into a blacksmith's shop in the suburbs of town where there were some wounded Yanks and saw a nice new tin cup sitting on the anvil bench, and as we thought, full of water. We thought we had need of just about such a cup, we picked it up and gave the contents a dash. Just as we did so it occurred to us that maybe it was not water. we put the cup to our nose and OH!, sad to relate it was whiskey, and we only got a smell---so near and yet so far. We were certain that we could have applied it differently if we had thought in time.

We exchanged our old musket off for a nice new Enfield rifle and we think that the rest of the boys did the same as we were armed with muskets at the beginning and with rifles at the close of the battle.

Next morning the sun rose bright and clear and we did not move off at once so we thought that we would look around a little. We went into town and stepped into a store where some of the boys were drawing molasses and, as we like molasses. tolerable well, we got a water bucket and drew it full and struck out for our company. When we reached the place where we had left them, they had gone and our new gum cloth was also missing. We soon caught up with them, found our gum cloth around the neck of another fellow and proceeded to take it off.

We moved across the railroad up on a ridge behind a large brick building and lay down. We thought that we would like to see what was in that house so we went in. The people had left rather hurriedly we guessed. Things were scattered pretty well all over the floors - fine dressings, etc. There was a very fine piano that the boys were overhauling to see how it was made. We went up into the upper rooms and found more books than we had ever met in one house before, but they were all of the same kind and did not appear to be very interesting. About this time Lieut N. G. Smith came up and we made some remark to him about the book he replied that from the way things were going on the outside. we would not have much use for books. We went out and found that our Company had moved again and that one corner of the house had been shot away while we were inside. We rejoined our Company and found them supporting a battery and one of the heaviest artillery duels going on that had ever been known to us.

While laying there, a ball came through the fence, knocked off the entire top of William Adkin's head, WENT THROUGH L.L. MARSHALL, KNOCKED HIM UP IN THE AIR, LANDING HIM SOME THIRTY OR FORTY FEET TO THE REAR. This was the worst mangled body that we saw and we have seen many. The same ball struck D. C. Reece; took a slice out of the calf of his leg; tipped the heel of Isaac Whitaker's shoe, scared Jake Jessup almost to death and went into the ground in about a foot of our head, literally covering us with dirt, gravel, blood and brains. We never did get the blood and brains off our hat and clothing until we wore them out.

About dusk we were ordered to advance. We moved forward very slowly and silently; were ordered not to speak above a whisper. After going some distance, we halted, lay down a while, then fell back as silently as we had come, but some faster. We crossed the railroad, stopped near an old lime kiln and rested on our arms the remainder of the night. The next morning we moved over to the left across a small stream and were ordered to charge which we did up a rather steep rocky hill. We failed to carry our point and were ordered to cease firing.

We were near a small hickory tree, about the size of a man's thigh. We stepped behind it and while we were there the tree was struck with several balls. We saw a man lay down, reach out and get a flat rock a little larger than a man's head, stand it in front of his head. He had hardly got it there before a ball struck the rock a center shot. Had the rock not been there, the ball would have hit him on the top of his head and, of course, killed him instantly.

We made another attempt to charge, but with no better success than before. We then fell back behind a small ridge where the balls all passed over our heads; still the boys would dodge all the same. Seeing all this, a spirit of mischief got hold of us and we would pick up balls off the ground and slyly throw them at the boys. They would jump and dodge and show where they were struck, fully believing that they were shot. During the day, our friend that we had the little difficulty with a few days before shot himself in the toe and we have not seen or heard of him since.

We lost many of our boys during these three days. We were struck with seven different balls, but the skin was not broken on us with any of them. About night, we moved off to the right and bivouacked for the night and then started the homeward march. We reached Hagerstown, Maryland without any special incident. Here we formed line of battle, threw up breastworks and waited for the Yankees, but they did not care to try us again just yet.

It had been raining for some time and we left here just at nightfall after a very rainy day and had one of the worst night marches that any poor soldier ever had (we guess). The roads were very muddy and so many men and horses using them kept them worked into loblolley and made very bad walking. The weather was very hot and this added to the discomfort of the march.

Was she a daughter of that William Standiford of Baltimore Co., who bequeathed 30 Oct. 1775, to his wife Elizabeth, his negroes, furniture, plate, and horse, for life, with reversion to her children; to each of the childrn born of his
two deceased wives, a small amount of money as he had already provided for them; to his ten children, James, David, John, Benjamin, Mary, Sarah, Delah, Susanna, Elizabeth, and Ellioner, all the residue of his estate? This will was
proved the following 29 May, and his wife was the executrix.

(Balto. co. Wills, Vol.__, p. 317) In Scharf's Hls. Balto City and Co., p 814, it is said that the Standiford family whose estates were near New Market, was of English
descent. 		STANDIFORD, Elizabeth (I10520)

David ?
I looked at some genealogy information my father was working on back in 2002 before he passed. Here is what he had:
Wray, Clyde Mack(b. September 29, 1892, d. August 1974)
Wray, Earl Dean(b. November 27, 1895, d. February 1966)
Wray, Russell C.(b. July 10, 1899, d. May 5, 1978)
Wray, Luther L.(b. November 23, 1901, d. May 19, 1955)
Wray, Robert B.(b. May 30, 1903, d. October 17, 1904) ? Howard?s son and grandson were named Robert
Wray, Myrtle I.(b. August 18, 1905, d. ?) ? she was alive and the only survivor when my grandfather passed in 1993 and at the funeral
Wray, Hazel Aileen(b. March 21, 1908, d. November 29, 1986)
Wray, Ralph George(b. January 6, 1910, d. January 3, 1993)
Wray, Howard Monroe(b. December 2, 1913, d. August 12, 1979)
Wray, Victor Carlin(b. April 16, 1916, d. March 23, 1985)
The picture I have at the reunion was 1968, it has the five surviving brothers. Clyde (your grandfather), Russell, Ralph, Howard and Victor. Evidently your grandfather Clyde and Earl stayed when their parents went to Richmond around 1912 being they were grown. Russell, Luther and Ralph, being they were children, and the girls went to Richmond. As mentioned before, Howard and Victor were born in Richmond. I haven?t had a chance to scan reunion photo yet but will send when I get a chance.
Hope this helps,

Dear Editor,

I have been researching my ancestors and need your help to locate some of the descendents. The following is what I call a "Nichols" worth of Surry County history.

Dudley Nichols married Sarah Bingham Parsons in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and
came to Surry County in 1827. They brought with them children from a previous marriage as well as children from their own union. They included Dudley Parsons (married Keziah Hickman of Surry Co), Sally Nichols (married Riley White), Winnie B Nichols (married Lazarus Creed of Surry Co), Edmond I Nichols (married Jestine Parker of Surry Co), John Nichols (married Nancy Simpson of Surry Co), Joshua Nichols (married Martha Jane Simpson, sister to Nancy), Mary Ann Elizabeth Nichols (married Ira Portis of Surry Co), Mary Jane (married Richard Trigleth of Nash Co, NC), William Jefferson (married Nancy Franklin of Surry Co), Sarah C Nichols (married Joel White of Surry Co), Martha Nichols (married Tyre Simpson, brother to Nancy & Martha Jane), and possibly others. Dudley settled in the Stewarts Creek section of Surry County and the family grew to be quite large.

Dudley & Keziah Parsons moved to Morgan Co, Indiana. They had 6 children: Unknown female, William R, George W, Angeline, John H, and Edmund B.

Edmond & Justine Nichols moved to Brown Co, Kansas. They had 13 children: Nancy Emily, Eliza, Sarah A, Lucinda, Matilda, Charles E, Susan, Virginia Victoria, Florence E, James, Mary A, John D, and Ida L.

Richard A & Mary Jane Trigleth moved to Mississippi. They had 8 children: Mary Ann, Sarah, John L, George Walter, James Richard, Nathaniel Eugene, Mack, and Elizabeth.

The rest stayed and raised 'a mess of yunguns'.

Riley & Sally White: Riley died a few months after their marriage and left Sally with 1 child: Nancy White, who married William Henry Poindexter.

Lazarus & Winnie Creed had 11 children:
John, Mary E, Sarah Frances, Enoch, Dudley, Lucinda, James M, Susan, George Thomas, Peter, and Elizabeth.

John & Nancy Nichols had 11 children:
George Yancy, William A "Billy", Washington "Wash", Sarah Martha, Solomon Franklin, Ellen "Elena", Sarah Blanche, Martha E, Susan Alice, Johanna, and Winnie.

Joshua & Martha Jane Nichols had 14 children:
Lucinda, Peter, Joel, John W, James B, Ada Jeanette, Constantine (twin), William Lafayette (twin), Joshua, Mary, Laura F, William Lacy, Martha, and Celia.

Tyre and Martha Simpson had 10 children:
Catherine Elizabeth, Sarah Emily, Lusena, Mary M, Martha Jane, William S, Ellen M, Susie A, and John Dudley.

There were probably other children, but I have not verified them yet. I need the help of the community to help find the descendents of these families. Some of the family names united with the Nichols name are: Brintle, Simmons, Simpson, Bunker, Laffoon, Badgett, Watson, Bays, Parsons, Norman, Phillips, Owens, Poindexter, Puckett, Reece, Richardson, Jones, Scott, Shelton, Hull, Cockerham, Sparger, Stone, Taylor, Veneble, Vernon, Vestal, Watkins, Wagoner, Livengood, Marsh, Fleming, Kallam, Moseley, Hutchens, Cook, Bingham, Marshall, Marion, Key, Jackson, Johnson, Holyfield, Hodges, Greenwood, Grey, Golding, Dunbar, Dunnigan, Draughn, Atkins, and Collins, just to mention a few. Pm sorry if I missed some names, but these are all off the top of my head and the list is endless.

There will be a gathering of the descendents of Dudley Nichols on Sunday, October 11, 2009 (at the Franklin Ruitan Building in Toast (west of Mount Airy) at 12:30 pm (Autumn Leaves Festival). Everyone is invited and welcome. Bring pictures, family trees, and anything else that help put this big puzzle together. Also bring food and drinks to be shared with everyone.

Dear Editor,

I have been researching my ancestors and need your help to locate some of the descendents. The following is what I call a "Nichols" worth of Surry County history.

Dudley Nichols married Sarah Bingham Parsons in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and
came to Surry County in 1827. They brought with them children from a previous marriage as well as children from their own union. They included Dudley Parsons (married Keziah Hickman of Surry Co), Sally Nichols (married Riley White), Winnie B Nichols (married Lazarus Creed of Surry Co), Edmond I Nichols (married Jestine Parker of Surry Co), John Nichols (married Nancy Simpson of Surry Co), Joshua Nichols (married Martha Jane Simpson, sister to Nancy), Mary Ann Elizabeth Nichols (married Ira Portis of Surry Co), Mary Jane (married Richard Trigleth of Nash Co, NC), William Jefferson (married Nancy Franklin of Surry Co), Sarah C Nichols (married Joel White of Surry Co), Martha Nichols (married Tyre Simpson, brother to Nancy & Martha Jane), and possibly others. Dudley settled in the Stewarts Creek section of Surry County and the family grew to be quite large.

Dudley & Keziah Parsons moved to Morgan Co, Indiana. They had 6 children: Unknown female, William R, George W, Angeline, John H, and Edmund B.

Edmond & Justine Nichols moved to Brown Co, Kansas. They had 13 children: Nancy Emily, Eliza, Sarah A, Lucinda, Matilda, Charles E, Susan, Virginia Victoria, Florence E, James, Mary A, John D, and Ida L.

Richard A & Mary Jane Trigleth moved to Mississippi. They had 8 children: Mary Ann, Sarah, John L, George Walter, James Richard, Nathaniel Eugene, Mack, and Elizabeth.

The rest stayed and raised 'a mess of yunguns'.

Riley & Sally White: Riley died a few months after their marriage and left Sally with 1 child: Nancy White, who married William Henry Poindexter.

Lazarus & Winnie Creed had 11 children:
John, Mary E, Sarah Frances, Enoch, Dudley, Lucinda, James M, Susan, George Thomas, Peter, and Elizabeth.

John & Nancy Nichols had 11 children:
George Yancy, William A "Billy", Washington "Wash", Sarah Martha, Solomon Franklin, Ellen "Elena", Sarah Blanche, Martha E, Susan Alice, Johanna, and Winnie.

Tyre and Martha Simpson had 10 children:

There were probably other children, but I have not verified them yet. I need the help of the community to help find the descendents of these families. Some of the family names united with the Nichols name are: Brintle, Simmons, Simpson, Bunker, Laffoon, Badgett, Watson, Bays, Parsons, Norman, Phillips, Owens, Poindexter, Puckett, Reece, Richardson, Jones, Scott, Shelton, Hull, Cockerham, Sparger, Stone, Taylor, Veneble, Vernon, Vestal, Watkins, Wagoner, Livengood, Marsh, Fleming, Kallam, Moseley, Hutchens, Cook, Bingham, Marshall, Marion, Key, Jackson, Johnson, Holyfield, Hodges, Greenwood, Grey, Golding, Dunbar, Dunnigan, Draughn, Atkins, and Collins, just to mention a few.

They included Dudley Parsons (married Keziah Hickman of Surry Co), Sally Nichols (married Riley White), Winnie B Nichols (married Lazarus Creed of Surry Co), Edmond I Nichols (married Jestine Parker of Surry Co), John Nichols (married Nancy Simpson of Surry Co), Joshua Nichols (married Martha Jane Simpson, sister to Nancy), Mary Ann Elizabeth Nichols (married Ira Portis of Surry Co), Mary Jane (married Richard Trigleth of Nash Co, NC), William Jefferson (married Nancy Franklin of Surry Co), Sarah C Nichols (married Joel White of Surry Co), Martha Nichols (married Tyre Simpson, brother to Nancy & Martha Jane), and possibly others. Dudley settled in the Stewarts Creek section of Surry County and the family grew to be quite large.

Edmond & Justine Nichols moved to Brown Co, Kansas. They had 13 children: Nancy Emily, Eliza, Sarah A, Lucinda, Matilda, Charles E, Susan, Virginia Victoria, Florence E, James, Mary A, John D, and Ida L.

Richard A & Mary Jane Trigleth moved to Mississippi. They had 8 children: Mary Ann, Sarah, John L, George Walter, James Richard, Nathaniel Eugene, Mack, and Elizabeth.

The rest stayed and raised 'a mess of yunguns'.

Some of the family names united with the Nichols name are: Brintle, Simmons, Simpson, Bunker, Laffoon, Badgett, Watson, Bays, Parsons, Norman, Phillips, Owens, Poindexter, Puckett, Reece, Richardson, Jones, Scott, Shelton, Hull, Cockerham, Sparger, Stone, Taylor, Veneble, Vernon, Vestal, Watkins, Wagoner, Livengood, Marsh, Fleming, Kallam, Moseley, Hutchens, Cook, Bingham, Marshall, Marion, Key, Jackson, Johnson, Holyfield, Hodges, Greenwood, Grey, Golding, Dunbar, Dunnigan, Draughn, Atkins, and Collins, just to mention a few. Pm sorry if I missed some names, but these are all off the top of my head and the list is endless.

There will be a gathering of the descendents of Dudley Nichols on Sunday, October 11, 2009 (at the Franklin Ruitan Building in Toast (west of Mount Airy) at 12:30 pm (Autumn Leaves Festival). Everyone is invited and welcome. Bring pictures, family trees, and anything else that help put this big puzzle together. Also bring food and drinks to be shared with everyone.
