From the Editor The Jackson County Arts Council indoor yard sale has come and gone, and we participated vigorously. We had a good day, if awfully tiring for some of our loyal volunteers. Other good days have been in the evenings when our group meets on the second Thursday. Our attendance has been a little down, but we attribute that to the fact that everyone stays so busy. v_y We trust that the membership will not find this issue top-heavy. We seem to have a lot of photographs this time over and above our regular-feature Photo Album. AH phases of genealogy are interesting, so read and enjoy the work of your fellow Society members. Many thanks this time to Beau Allen Hudgins, Ruth Crawford Shuler, R.O. Wilson, Mack Sutton, cousin Mark Blanton, Sue Gunnells Phillips, Rachel Brown Phillips, Betty Cope Andrews, Bill Crawford, Barbara Shelton Smith, Barbara Dills Bishop, Elizabeth Moss Wilson, Dorris Dills Beck, and Deanne Gibson Roles.

Mary Katherine Sherrill Lowder received the Robert Lee and Drusilla Holden Award for distinguished service to genealogy. Mary Katherine compiled The Robert Lee Holden Family with Allied Lines of Norton and Taylor and along with her Sherrill first cousins and her sister Nancy Sherrill Wilson, completed publication of The William Robert Sherrill and Mary Cowan Sherrill Family. Mary Katherine has also contributed in many other ways to our society, both with genealogy and with other support. The Daniel Washington Deitz Memorial Award, for service to the Jackson County Genealogical Society itself, was presented to James Monteith. Always finding old pictures, volunteering at the Society office, doing many unnoticed jobs, James also serves the Society as its president. We are pleased to recognize them again here. I n S y m p a t hy We dedicate this issue of Journeys Through Jackson to the memory of Pauline Dean Ensley, Helen Davis Cooper, and Regenia Pannell Fisher. We offer our sympathy to their families. We also send condolences to JCGS members Alvin Middleton, Ronald Haskett, Pearl Smith, and Clyde Phillips, all of whom have recently lost family members. 49 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m v_7 The picture above shows Leah Rachel Bryson Sutton, daughter of Hamilton and Agnes Matilda Wilson Bryson. This is the photograph Beau Hudgins sent to Leah Sutton Heinz some years ago, (reference; p. 70). V_v In this picture, we show just how much fun genealogy can be. The baby in the photograph is Erline Murray, and she is being held by Ruth Choate, who sent the picture to Ruth Shuler in response to a query in the Grand Junction, Colorado, newspaper. Erline Murray's mother was Byrda Bolton, whose mother was Winifred Cockerham, whose father Jesse Chandler Cockerham left (in the 1840's) what would become Jackson County a few years later. \ J 50 Journeys Through Jackson S p r i n g 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m A three-brothers photograph from the Speedwell community of Cullowhee. On the left is Thomas Cleveland Wilson, father of JCGS member R.O. Wilson; standing is Bub Enos Wilson; on the right is Oscar Wilson, grandfather of new JCGS member Claude Wilson of Oroville, California. All of these three men were sons of Enos and Elizabeth Bennett Wilson. Below, an image of the funeral card of their first cousin Robert Archaelus Wilson (1863 - 1887). The card is printed on heavy card stock, and was in the possession of Leah Sutton Heinz. 51 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m -'. ' i . ' r • The photograph above shows Jeremiah (Jerry) Hensley (Feb. 1848 - 3 Oct 1928) and his wife Margaret Ingabo Quilliams Hensley (20 Oct 1846 - 7 Oct 1913). They are buried at Locust Field Cemetery. • ^ 52 Journeys Through Jackson S p r i n g 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m C (See next page) 53 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m We used the photograph on the previous page in Volume I of Jackson County Heritage. In 2007 cousin Mark Blanton of Rome, Georgia, sent another (much larger) copy of the picture. We believe that it shows a singing school because the man seated (or stooped) in the center is the editor's paternal great - grandfather Crawford. He would have been one of the instructors of the school. We have always believed that the picture represented persons from the Ochre Hill, Cane Creek, and Wayehutta communities. All of those communities were closer - connected in another time than they are today, because major paved roads don't go through Cracking Chestnut Gap. Mark identifies the fourth kneeling child from the left as Harley Shuler. Just behind him, and dressed in white, would be his older sister Bessie, who married Erastus Blanton. She is holding Winford, their oldest child. Bessie and Erastus were Mark's grandparents. The other woman holding a baby is Emiline Watson Shuler, holding Annie Belle. On the extreme right in the middle row would possibly be Edward Shuler. We are guessing that identity from another photograph. The man standing third from the left in the middle row is Edd Norman, and is the maternal grandfather of the editor, Ruth Shuler, and Jean Brown. (We are his only grandchildren.) He was an outstanding tenor singer, and would have provided contrast to some of these Shulers, who were among the best bass singers we ever heard. On the back row, either that man is standing on something, or he is one of the tallest men who ever lived around here. With this photograph, we would ask JCGS member Ernestine Jones to see if her father (LaFayette or ' T a t e " Shuler) is identifiable, and we would request the same of JCGS member Harold Ensley, requesting if can find his grandmother Sadie Blanton, who was also one of these Shulers from Cane Creek. Needless to say, we would welcome any other identifications. Since we have concentrated on the Bob Shuler family here, wouldn't it be reasonable to assnme that Rachel Shuler Blanton and Jerdie Shuler Morgan are two of the young girls here? And Mark is of the opinion that Johnny Shuler is just in front of his mother Emiline. We would guess that this picture was made about 1912 or 1913. ^f ^J 54 Journeys Through Jackson S p r i n g 2009 W o r l d W a r I I C l i p p i n g s [Ed.

At one time he was a blacksmith for the company. Below, some of the employee housing at the mill. 59 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2009 The picture above is a real classic. It shows the company bus, which ran on the railroad tracks and carried passengers to Cullowhee Normal School and also up Caney Fork. Mr. Gunnells drove the bus. In this photograph, the two men on the left are unidentified, the other three are Ed Hooper, Jim Potts, and Bethel Gunnells. Gunnells was from Athens, Georgia, but when he met Sue's mother, he stayed forever. She rode the bus to classes at the normal school, now of course Western Carolina University. Below, the lumber company's train. It is a Shay locomotive, a 3-piston machine with a geared side drive for power to ascend steep grades.

[Above, the first part of the personal affidavit of Shelton. Obviously, the important genealogy of this is that it gives his wife's maiden name, the date and place of their marriage, and the date of her death, which we read as 1890, but which might be 1892.

Our question would be if this man (Walter M. Burrell) was a brother-in-law of David L. Shelton. Furthermore, was the Bright Burrell of reference here also a brother-in-law?

Journeys Through Jackson is the official journal of the Jackson County Genealogical Society, Inc. The journal began as a monthly publication in July 1991, was published bimonthly from 1994 to 2003, and continues today as a quarterly publication. The journal issues in this digital collection are presented as annual compilations.J o u r n e y s ^ T h r o u g h J a c k s o n T h e Official J o u r n a l of t h e J a c k s o n C o u n t y G e n e a l o g i c a l Society, Inc.

The Society accepts no advertising for this publication except for notices for other non-profit groups. From the Editor We finish another outstanding year in the Jackson County Genealogical Society, and as proof of that ~* assertion, this publication will be distributed or mailed to 235 of the finest folks in the country. We are ^j thankful in this holiday season to know many of these members and to be able to share this love of genealogy with them. As in all years, we have faced our quota of challenges. Not everyone spent 24/7 doing genealogy (Imagine!), and we personally admit to many shortcomings. Our challenge grant has not yet been matched in full, but we are hopeful that we can state differently by January 1. The water heater in the office decided to leak and flood the storage closet, and that was fun for everyone present. But where else can we find an organization in which the President occasionally wears a kilt; where we can have programs with such excellent speakers as Anne Rogers and Curtis Wood; and where St. Nick visits the editor early, bringing along materials from Will Cagle, Sam Phillips, Bonnie Barker, Betty Queen Monteith, Betsy Dodd Pittman of Burke County, Ruth Ensley Bryson, Linda Owen Anders, Linda Hughes Collins, Dorris Dills Beck, Ruth Hall Norman, Linda Davis, and Ruth Crawford Shuler? Only here in JCGS, of course. Have a joyous season, and enjoy JTJ with the eggnog.

Annie Lee was another of our well-known traditional artists and craftspersons; she had gained wide recognition for her corn shuck dolls. She was always in attendance at WCU's Mountain Heritage Day, and she was the winner of the 2010 Mountain Heritage Day Award. We express our sympathy to her daughters and other family members. In Sympathy We also extend our sympathy to JCGS members Ann Hampton Peters, Grover and Ernestine Jones, and Vernon Painter for their recent losses. We are firm in our conviction that this separation is only temporary. Correction JCGS member Harold Ensley reports that his great-aunt Annie Belle Blanton stated that the woman in the singing school picture (JTJ, Spring 2009) is not her mother, and that she is not the baby. We regret the error, but we are always grateful when someone cares enough to point out our mistakes.

They shared the pictures of Will's great-grandparents, above, and grandfather, below. On the left above is Wilma Margaret Barker (18 Apr 1840 - 11 Jun 1906), on the right her husband Evan Harvey Cagle (10 Feb 1839 - 10 Oct 1916). Below, their son Candler Collins Cagle (5 Jul 1876 - 23 Mar 1960), a Spanish - American War veteran. \ J 146 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2010 C ' J C G S P h o t o A l b u m <s ^ The above are the children of Merritt Rickman ("Rick") and Mary Matilda Blanton Phillips, pictured with their sister-in-law Dora Waldrop Phillips. In the back row are Robert, John, Sam, and Walt Phillips. In front are Etta, Vada, Dora Waldrop Phillips (widow of Herbert Edgar), Maude, and Mamie.

We were pleased to meet some of this Phillips family at the annual Phillips reunion (and many thanks to Ruth Bryson and Linda Collins for their gracious invitations to join them). We might also mention that the children of Rick and Mary Phillips married into families with strong Jackson County connections...Parker, Slatton, and Rogers, for example. Herbert Edgar above, died 31 Mar 1929, so was not in the family group picture on the previous page. KJ 148 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2010 <W J C G S P h o t o A l b u m V^ JCGS member Bonnie Barker has searched for 12 years for the resting place of Josephine Wood Barker. She believes that the above has rewarded her persistence. This field stone is located in the Ashe - McKay Cemetery above Mount Pleasant Church. The " J " and the "Barker" are plainly visible, and we trust that this shows the resting place of Josephine, who died in 1911. 149 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2010 J C G S P h o t o A l b um KJ \ y The pictures above were taken in August of 2009 by Mike Shay.

The Society accepts no advertising for this publication except for notices for other non-profit groups. From the Editor Does anyone know what season it is at the moment? Three weeks ago we were shivering through a blackberry winter that was breaking records in many places, then in the last few days we have sweltered. When we would complain as children about the weather, our very wise mother would inform us that it was ' not a bit of our business. Wise words indeed. y Join us in this issue for our usual mixture of official records, family descent, the continuation of the cemetery census we have been publishing, a small humorous recipe, and some excellent how-to materials from the North Carolina State Archives. We also, of course, have some fine old photographs for your perusal. Notice on the first page this time about our picnic announcement, and make sure to return your Holden Award nomination by August 1. If at all possible, be with us for our covered - dish meal, always a highlight of the summer. And as always, regardless of the weather, keep on digging.

Crawford. Robert Lester Crawford Jr. passed away Sunday June 2. We and R.L. would have funny conversations about the similarities of our names, even though we were not related. (R.L. was a descendant of the Macon County, thus Haywood County, Crawford family as contrasted to the Willets and Cullowhee Crawfords of Jackson County, and even though many persons have expended great genealogical efforts, those families have not been connected after 1769.) R.L. was an Air Force veteran of World War U, and was a much-liked member of our Society. We extend our sympathy to his widow, children, and grandchildren. Announcements Make your plans now to be with the Society at the annual picnic in August. On Thursday August 8 at 6:30 p.m., we will gather at the WCU picnic area for our meal and our annual awards presentation. We hope to see you there. Please find your Holden Award nomination with this issue and mail to the Society address. Sold out. The second volume of Jackson County Heritage is no longer available; therefore, members who know of persons interested in purchasing a copy should take their names and addresses for a waiting list. We will need 100 names before we can consider a reprint. Deanne Gibson Roles, our Technology Coordinator, reports that she is now placing notices of family reunions at our Website. An excellent idea.

It is hardly the scope of our publication to delve into all of the political convolutions and shenanigans centering around the status of the American Indian. In a nutshell, let it be sufficient to say that the state of North Carolina gave a halfhearted effort to provisions of the 1819 treaty which would allow the Cherokees individual reservations. These papers predate the Indian removal efforts of the 1830's by some years, and show that the Cherokees who lived in the Smoky Mountains were to be exempt from the controversies that surrounded the Trail of Tears by the mere fact that they were property owners in the state of Norm Carolina. If all of this had come to pass, then the history of our immediate area would have been somewhat different from the way it eventually transpired. We all know that a federal reservation was eventually a reality. We all also know the disgraceful way that the American Indian was treated, even if some of us' would prefer to deny the facts. But with political opinions and sermons aside, here are some factual documents from our area from the early 1820's.

JCGS members Jim and Jean Hooper Scott of Tryon provided a generous start-up fund to originate this program. A Society committee was named and it has since met to establish the scholarship rules and parameters. Applicants must be students at Smoky Mountain High School, Blue Ridge High School and Early College, Jackson County Early College, or the Jackson County School of Alternatives. The applicant must also write an essay related to family or genealogical research. The winners will then report to the Society within one year. In the first year, two scholarships valued at $750.00 each are to be awarded. Checks will then be made to the college or university of the winners. W o u l d y o u l i k e t o c o n t r i b u t e? Make checks specifically to the Scott Foundation Scholarship Fund, and send to the Society's post office address. This gift, of course, is tax deductible.

The following article was written and submitted by JCGS member Don Casada. Its principal subject, Elizabeth Holt, is a granddaughter of JCGS member Christine Cole Proctor.] Close on the heels of dog days, on a warm September morning, a shuttle boat carried a gathering of folks across Fontana Lake. Shortly after leaving the launch area at Cable Branch, the boat passed over the streambed of what was once a fine mountain river. From way back in the mountains, hundreds of feeder streams laughed, jumped, played, and sang along their descending way. Boisterous waters showered diamond sprays of life onto the stream banks where ramps, sarvis, squirrel corn, bluets and yellow root reaped the blessings of their contagious joy. They were living, life giving waters. Trickles became branches, branches became forks, and forks became creeks. The accumulated collections fed the Oconaluftee, Tuckaseigee, Nantahala and Little Tennessee Rivers, waters eons older than the Cherokee names which predated the arrival of white men. The Tuckasegee, a man among men flowing on an east-west course, met the south-to-north flowing lady of the Little Tennessee. It was love at first sight, and the couple was married near the place that would become the little town of Bushnell. Tuck, the gentleman, defied human convention and took on the name of his bride. Although they called themselves the Little Tennessee, it was Tuck's east-west course that they followed from that point on, in deference to his better judgment. For Tuck, unlike the sweet Little T, drew much of his life blood from the Great Smoky Mountains which they would skirt along the rest of their way. Of all those who traveled these mountains, no one knew every holler like Old Tuck. Now more mature in demeanor than in their earlier rambunctious ways, the two that were now one inclined to a gentler course, as if on a front porch swing of a Sunday afternoon. But they could still kick up their heels every now and then. Like all couples, they'd occasionally have their issues, separating to the left and the right around Calhoun Island near Wayside. Differences resolved, they rejoined hands downstream, and the family continued to grow along the way. Damned by progress and dammed by the TVA, laughter and family ties along this section of the Little Tennessee have been silenced and broken for seven decades. The life-giving energy from North Carolina Counties of Jackson, Macon (Macon's part includes a charitable donation from Rabun County, Georgia), Graham and Swain is deadened by the dam, harvested by turbines, and sent by wires without payment into Tennessee. The formerly vibrant river lies buried beneath 370 feet of stagnant water and silt accumulation at the point where our boat passed over. Our destination was Hazel Creek, a place where unhindered waters still flow and echoes of laughter yet linger, unreachable by the roads of an uncivilized world. There are those who despair the lack of road access to this land, including some of our little company. A sense of betrayal by the same federal government - which took the land that many called home - underlies the despair. But were there now a road to this place, I fear that the song it sings softly in minor mountain key would be lost in the discordant strife and the noise. That has certainly been the case for Cades Cove, located just across the spine of the. Smokies, where an armada of automobiles daily assault what was once a place of perspicacious people imbued with both the spirit and ability to make do. There are reasons aplenty to go to this place and others like it. I routinely find myself seeking the refuge of walking and crawling, sometimes tumbling and sliding through these mountains, most often alone. Whisperings of advice and signs of parental affection — as well as stern admonitions - from these 11 Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2013 mountains (which are indeed our parents) are most readily perceived by the wonderfully lonesome, if . somewhat prodigal, child. ^—^ But on this day, I was glad to be in the company of some like-minded companions. Though seeking a place, ours was not a search for solitude. We were intent on congregating, cornmitting, honoring, and remembering. Proctor The particular place on Hazel Creek to which we were headed has been known since the late 1800s as Proctor. Sometime before 1830, Moses and Patience Proctor settled here and began raising a family. Their home place was on what is now known as Shehan Branch in Possum Holler. It empties into Hazel Creek - or directly into the lake itself when it is full - almost four miles from where Hazel Creek once emptied into the Little Tennessee River. The Proctors had come over the main spine of the Smokies from Cades Cove. If it was solitude and elbow room they sought, they found it. Based on the sequence of names in the 1830 Macon County census (this area is now in Swain County, but Swain wasn't formed until 1871) and knowledge of where other families located, it was likely well over a half-dozen miles to their closest neighbors. Something just felt right about this particular place, so they carved out a home and a life for themselves and their children here. Bradshaws, Cables and others were soon to come to the area, but it remained sparsely populated for decades. In 1848, Joseph Brackett composed the Shaker Hymn, "Simple Gifts". Though penned a thousand miles away near the northeastern end of the Appalachian Mountain range, the words could well have applied to the lives of Patience, Moses, and their children in the Hazel Creek valley: v / 'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free, 'tis the gift to come down where you ought to be. And when we find ourselves in the place just right, It will be in the valley of love and delight. Times and seasons pass; lives and circumstances change. The Civil War took away two of their sons, Moses, Jr. and Mansfield. Moses, Sr. died, perhaps of a broken heart, in 1864. Patience lived to see the end of the war and the return of two sons and a son-in-law, but according to family tradition described by Duane Oliver in Remembered Lives, she was never the same. She died in 1870, and is buried beside Moses on the ridge near their home. Over time, their children and their children's children drifted to and fro, ranging up the river and across the mountains back into Tennessee. Ritter Lumber Company arrived and set up a massive operation in the early 1900s, providing hundreds of jobs - for a time. But by the late 1920s, the raw materials of the entire Hazel Creek basin had been sawn, kiln dried, cut to dimension, and shipped away to become floors, furniture, books and toilet paper, so Ritter Lumber closed shop. While there were still several dozen farnilies who owned land and lived in the area, including some descendants of Moses and Patience, the vast majority of the Hazel Creek drainage was now owned by land speculators such as Jack Coburn and George Stikeleather (to whom Ritter had sold its vast holdings). Private fishing waters were established , with uninvited natives unwelcome. Physical connections to vestiges of life as it had once been were completely severed by the construction of Fontana Dam in the early 1940s. Exercising powers of what might be called pre-eminent domain with a will, TVA acquired all lands on the north shore of Fontana, removed the people and turned the land over ^ j to the Department of Interior for inclusion in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is worth 12 Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2013 / noting here that the entire area along the north shore of the Little Tennessee had been coveted for the Park ^ ^ since the 1920's; in fact, it had been included in the original park outline, drawn in 1926. hi the course of a century, Hazel Creek witnessed the coming of the first white settlers, an era of slow increase in families on subsistence farms, followed by a period of rapid industrial and job growth, an equally rapid loss of resources - an thus industry and its jobs. By the time the 1930 census was taken, there were but two dozen individuals on the entire north shore who listed saw mill or logging as their trade, and most of these were well to the east of Hazel Creek. Just over a decade later, there was to be no more permanent human presence. And yet .... even now, there is something about this place which seems to want people around, and it
