One Hundred Year Old Friendship Quilt
JCGS member, Fern Parris Hensley, recently came in contact with a Friendship Quilt that was completed in 1916. She patiently researched all of the names that were represented on the quilt. She has succeeded in finding all but two of the women. She has complied a book about the quilt and the women involved in its construction. The book is in our library in the office. She was helped by several people in compiling the information about the church, quilt and the people involved.

From the Editor
Things at the Society are getting exciting. We are now in our 25th year, and that is a major achievement for us. We have several things planned for the upcoming year, and I hope that you will join us in celebrating our anniversary.
I wasn’t one of the first members, but when I found out that we had one, I had to join. I can honestly say that it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have learned many things from the people that I have met throughout the years. And consider myself lucky and blessed to have met them all. It is my hope and prayer that our Society continues to grow and expand.
For members and friends who have Facebook, we have a Facebook page, Jackson County Genealogical Society. Be sure to check it out and post messages and pictures. This is a great resource to expand our Society and to connect with people who have ties to Jackson County.
REMEMBER
DUES FOR 2016
ARE DUE AT THE FIRST OF THE YEAR!

JCGS Photo Album
These two pictures are some of the many that the JCGS has in its holdings. We are not sure who the people are, but we have figured out that it was a baptizing being held at the curve of Caney Fork Creek, near the of Blackrock Timber Company in the Caney Fork area.

The above photograph is another one of our “unknowns,” but, the “painter” in the foreground is a sight not seen much here anymore. The picture below was given by Mary Smith Buchanan and is of Burnett Elbert Blanton. He was the Watkins Dealer in Jackson Co. and on the Cherokee Reservation in the 1940’s. His family came here from Horry Co., SC. His father owned the Rockledge Gas Station on Webster Road. Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2016

25 Years and Counting
As some of you may know, this year is the 25th Anniversary of the Jackson County Genealogical Society. From our humble beginnings, we have grown into one of the best Societies in the state of North Carolina. It is our plan all year long, to bring back information and memories from our first year. If any member, past or present, would like to share how the Society has benefited them or what it has meant to them, and you feel like sharing with everyone else, please send it to the Society and we will share it here with everyone.
Just remember, our Society has grown over the years due to our members’ steadfast support of the group. With continued support, we can continue on into the future growing even stronger and better.
Our Beginnings
On March 14, 1991 at 7:00 p.m. at the Jackson County Public Library an organizational meeting was held. The 15 people present were all there to discuss beginning a Genealogical Society for Jackson County. All present voted that this kind of organization would benefit both people doing genealogical research and Jackson County. It was also decided that the organization would be involved with producing a Jackson County Family History book.
Helen Vance, one of the organizers of the Swain County Genealogical and Historical Society, gave a presentation of what would be required to form a Society. She was very informative of the procedures and legal requirements needed. She also agreed to be an Advisor to the Society.
Each person in attendance introduced themselves and shared what families of interest each of them have. Some of the names mentioned were: Jenkins, Overstreet, Davis, Dills, Parris, Clayton, Bumgarner, Frizzell, Ensley, Monteith, Crawford, Sherrill, Cowan, Bryson, Stephens, Hooper, Beck, Wilson, Cable, and Cockerham (Cochran).
Temporary officers were elected, as follows:
President: Ruth Shuler
Vice-President: Nelma Bryson
Secretary: Carolyn Johnson
Treasurer: David Frizzell
A Constitutional and Bylaws Committee was chaired by Larry Crawford, and an Editing Committee was chaired by Kirk Stephens.
It was decided that membership to the Society will be open to any interested person. The next meeting was planned for April, 11, 1991 and would be held at the Jackson County Public Library at 7:00 p.m.
Those in attendance that that first meeting were: Carolyn Deitz Johnson, Hattie H. Deitz, Roy Shuler, Jewell Overstreet, Helen Davis Cooper, Larry Crawford, Harry Bumgarner, David Frizzell, Rick Frizzell, Bill Crawford, Nelma Bryson, Kirk Stephens, Dorris D. Beck, Helen C. Vance, Ruth C. Shuler.
Organizational Meeting
On April 11, 1991, at the Jackson County Public Library, the Jackson County Genealogical Society completed the organization of the Society. The group adopted a constitution and bylaws; set the individual, family and life membership rates; heard details of the sponsorship of the Jackson County Heritage Book; and discussed publications and future activities of the organization.
It was decided that membership to the Society would be open to anyone who is interested in genealogy, whether or not that person lives in Jackson County. The purpose of the organization are:
1. To bring together those people interested in genealogy, especially but not limited to Jackson County, North Carolina families;
2. To discover, research, and exchange material related to Jackson County genealogy;
3. To provide for the preservation of such material and for its accessibility, as far as may be feasible;
4. To publish this material at the frequency desired by the Society members. Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2016

It was especially emphasized that persons who do not live in Jackson County but who have roots and family connections here are most welcome to join the group.
First President’s Message
July 1991
Welcome to the premier issue of “Journeys Through Jackson,” the official publication of the Jackson County Genealogical Society, Inc. The name chosen for this publication is intended to reflect not only the geographical aspects of traveling through Jackson County but, also, the sense of traveling through the decades with ancestors long gone and descendants yet to come. From Sapphire to Soco, from Balsam to Bullpen, from Cowee to Cashiers, from Whiteside to Whittier, and all points in between, this newsletter will document the people and places of our Mountain Home, Jackson County.
The first major project of the Society is the Publication of The Jackson County Heritage Book, with work now in progress to share and preserve the family lines of those persons who live in the county, who have ever lived in the county, who have roots in the county. Submissions of material for the Heritage Book are encouraged and solicited from members, and additional information may be obtained by writing to the Society at the address listed elsewhere in this newsletter.
Material for “Journeys Through Jackson” will, until the Heritage Book is published, consist of primary source information from county records, family Bibles, cemetery and population census records, and interviews with elderly persons. Inquiries from members and non-members will be included. After the Heritage Book is completed, members and non-members may submit family data to be included in “Journeys Through Jackson.” The Society does reserve the right to accept, reject, and/or edit any submitted materials and disclaims any responsibility for errors in fact or opinion made by contributors.
Membership in the Society is open to any person interested in genealogical research. The Society is incorporated, and application has been made for tax-exempt status.
It is a distinct privilege to have been chosen as the founding president of the Jackson County Genealogical Society, and I pledge to you my best efforts to carry out the purposes and objectives of the group. Please let me know whenever I may be of assistance to you.
Ruth Shuler

Bringing Them Back
In years past, JTJ has published Pedigree Charts of members, or of families they are researching. This is a great tool
to learn new information and to share information with other people. In this anniversary year, we would like to bring
these charts back for publication. Feel free to send yours in for publication. (We will use the editors as an example.)
