BIOGRAPHICAL / Historical Note: Twentieth-century novelist Caroline Gordon was born into the Kentucky line of the extensive Meriwether family in 1895. Exploration of the family's past and its evolution is a major theme of her fiction. She grew up at Merry Mont in Todd County, near Clarksville where she received her early education. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bethany College in 1916. Her father is the idealized subject of Gordon's second novel, Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), and the central character in her much-anthologized story, "Old Red." Gordon taught briefly; then, as a journalist, she became one of the first reviewers to comment favorably on a new Nashville-based magazine of poetry, The Fugitive. During the summer of 1924, Robert Penn Warren, a Todd County neighbor, introduced her to Allen Tate. Within a year they were married and living in New York City, where their daughter, Nancy Meriwether was born. With Tate, she began a period of life abroad, devoted to writing and sustained by various fellowships granted to one or the other. In London, Gordon was secretary to the influential British writer Ford Madox. In 1930 the Tates returned to the United States and settled in Clarksville in a house provided by Tate's brother Ben and called "Benfolly." Both Tates were exceptionally hospitable to friends and encouraging to younger writers. Both were prolific correspondents, generous with constructive criticism. (Gordon eventually became mentor to several writers, most notably Flannery O'Connor). Although she had to wrest time for her writing from domestic and social obligations, the eight Benfolly years were especially productive for Gordon, who published four novels and several stories before 1937. The first novel was Penhally (1931), followed by Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), None Shall Look Back (1937), and The Garden of Adonis (1937), studies of the southern family during the Civil War and Great Depression. Academic appointments of the 1940s took the Tates throughout the Southeast and to Princeton, where they established a home near their daughter, who married psychiatrist Percy Wood in 1944. During this time Gordon published her fifth novel, Green Centuries (1941). Her second related group of novels, The Woman on the Porch (1944), which deals with a troubled marriage, The Strange Children (1951), based on life at Benfolly, and The Malefactors (1956), is informed by her conversion to Roman Catholicism. She and her husband wrote The House of Fiction (1950), which was followed by Gordon's How to Read a Novel in 1957. Gordon lived in Princeton until 1973, teaching, and writing: The Glory of Hera (1972). An appointment in the creative writing program drew her to the University of Dallas (Gordon was 77 years old when she proposed the new creative writing program at UD). When her health began to fail in 1978, she moved to San Cristobal de las Casas in Chapas, Mexico, with her daughter and family. She died there on April 11, 1981.

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
Well, winter has made it to the mountains, everything from rain to sleet to snow has been seen
here lately. But, on the bright side, it has given everyone an unexpected opportunity to work on
genealogy.
The Society is thriving so far this year with members renewing their memberships, people
coming by the office to use the resources that we have and new mysteries coming to light all the time. If
you haven't been by the office lately, I encourage you to drop by and see all the new materials that we
have. I also encourage you to come to the monthly meetings on the second Thursday of every month.
The meetings are always informative and interesting.
This fall, in October will be our Semi-annual fund-raiser, so keep that in mind. We will be
sending out further information in a few months regarding the activities that we will be having.

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.

Dedication
This issue of Journeys Through Jackson is dedicated to the memory of JCGS member R.L.
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.
Genealogy fairs and seminars coming up this summer in Macon County (June) and Rowan
County (August).

Above, a fine photograph of the Caney Fork Nicholson family. This picture shows the R.A. and
Miranda Hooper Nicholson family, and is submitted by JCGS member Kenneth Nicholson,
who identifies the following: On the back row are Marion, G.T., the parents R.A. and Miranda,
Hut, Lucy (who married into the Queen family), and Will. The lads in the next row are Marion's
sons excpt for G.T.'s son Raymond Sr. on the right. The seated ladies are Marion's wife Ellen
(Wood), G.T.'s wife Parthenia (Page), Varinia (who married into the Stephens family), Hut's
wife Lola (Stephens), and the other women and children are not yet identified. The little boys in
front include G.T.'s sons John and Burder on the left and three others. Kenny would welcome
further identifications. We would estimate the year of this picture as about 1908 - 1910.

The picture above is not as old as the photos we usually run, but the subject is a living - history
example that is worth preserving. The persons in the picture are identified as Talmadge
Monteith, Edith Monteith, and Wiley Green, and the photograph shows a sorghum mill in
operation between Dillsboro and Barker's Creek. Submitted by JCGS member Tim Barker, who
obtained the photo from Dale Pittman. (Photograph credit - Van Fossen Photos, Chicago,

[Ed. 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. Transcribed by Larry Crawford from material gathered in the North
Carolina State Archives in the Haywood County loose court papers January 2002.]

"A true and acerat [Ed. "accurate" is our best guess. This man was challenged even more than
many of his contemporaries where spelling was concerned, and we suspect that he made some of
the Cherokee names unrecognizable.] Numeration of the Indians that is living on the purches also

and have added each family together."

[Ed. The following are court cases with Cherokees as plaintiffs against white men who have
encroached on the formers' land. We do not have the outcomes of the trials or hearings. In at
least one case, a defendant (Bryson) was the ancestor of many JCGS members. It is also likely
that we have JCGS members who are descended from the plaintiffs or certainly from the list
above.]

Going in the Hole for one hundred pounds in October of 1822. We are forced to admit here that
we succumbed to the temptation of using this suit partially because of the very colorful name of
the Plaintiff. Did this name get shortened through the years? Another reason we used this one is
because we have JCGS members who are lineal descendants of the Defendant and Co-Bondsman

Journeys Through Jackson is the official publication of the Jackson County Genealogical Society. Members and non-members are invited to submit genealogical
materials for publication, with the understanding that the editor reserves the right to edit these materials for genealogical content, clarity, or taste. The Society
assumes no responsibility for errors of fact that may be contained in submissions, and except where noted, the opinions expressed arc not those of the editor or of
the Jackson County Genealogical Society. 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.

In Memoriam
We are saddened to report the passing of JCGS member Annie Lee Bryson. 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.

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.

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. These folks lived in the Greenville, South
Carolina area. Picture submitted by JCGS member Sam Phillips, a grandson of Herbert
Edgar and Dora.

Also submitted by Sam Phillips, the picture above shows his grandfather, Herbert Edgar
Phillips. 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.

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.

Frizzell, aka Gribble. At the bottom, one of the fabulous views from the cemetery in
LaVeta, Colorado. See Jackson County Heritage, Volume H, article # 344 for Rick Frizzell's

herself, providing us with a family group record and a descendancy in her Franklin family. We will publish this here

[Ed. We are always learning new things from what the neighbors are saying, so to speak. One of the very fine
periodicals that comes our way thanks to the exchange program is The Burke Journal, and we frequently find
information there pertinent to the ancestors of Jackson County families. One particular section of old Burke County
was around Silver Creek. Many of these families eventually made their homes in Jackson County. Many thanks to the
compiler, Betsy Dodd Pittman, and to Burke's editor, Phillip Heavner, for their gracious permission to reprint the
following from their May 2010 issue.]

genealogical materials for publication, with the understanding that the editor reserves the right to edit these materials for genealogical content, clarity, or
taste. The Society assumes no responsibility for errors of fact that may be contained in submissions, and except where noted, the opinions expressed are
not those of the editor or of the Jackson County Genealogical Society. The Society accepts no advertising for this publication except for notices for other
non-profit groups.
From the Editor
We finish this year in the Jackson County Genealogical Society with a wide range of feelings and
emotions. In this past year alone, we have said goodbye in these pages to an unusually high number of our
friends in the Society, and we never do so without the ambivalence of loss and hope for a rewarding eternity.
For all of those families who have had their Uves touched in this way, we again offer our sympathy.
In another respect, we have had the most successful year in the history of our Society. When Tommy
Sutton, James Massingale, Thomas Kryssbek, and Paul Lindsay paid membership dues late in the year, they
pushed us over another membership record. We thank you gentlemen, one and all.
Another wonderful gift came to the Society from JCGS member Hazel Barker, and with its impetus,
the Society voted to purchase a new microfilm machine. We now have a very fine reader at the office, and
a number of donated rolls of film. The Society plans to purchase more rolls in the future, so that we may have
yet another resource for the good of our membership.
We don't live in a perfect world, nor is our group a perfect microcosm. But we will take what we have
and be grateful for the opportunity to preserve more of the history of Jackson County's families. We have
some of the most interesting meetings held in Western North Carolina, and those meetings are always well-attended.
Philosophically, we have a healthy abhorrence of both sloth and snobbery, and we work diligently
to ensure their continued absence.
May all of you have the happiest holiday ever, and may all of you renew your membership.

In Memory
We dedicate this issue of Journeys Through Jackson to the memory of JCGS member Dave
Broom of Vader, Washington. We offer our sympathy to his wife Carol, also a JCGS
member, and to all of the members of the Broom family.
We also offer our sincere sympathy to JCGS member Christine Cole Proctor on the recent
loss of her husband Troy. Our neighbors, friends, and cousins in Swain County lost a good
one in Troy. Heaven's gain.

We are always glad when JCGS member Carl Sutton makes a trip through Jackson County,
because he has a talent for finding (and sharing) old photographs in his family. On this page,
Benjamin Evans Buchanan and his first family. In the front row are Victoria Nancy, age 7;
Benjamin, holding Octa; Maude B., age 4. In the back are James Nathaniel, age 15; the wife
and mother, Josepha Lucille Elmore Buchanan; Emma E., age 17; William Elmer, age 11; and
Enley E., age 8.[Ed. This photograph would have been taken in 1899, since Emma (Mrs. Arthur
Allen) was born in 1882, and Octa (Mrs. Bedford Ensley) was born in 1898.]

Carl also shares with us this picture of Benjamin -Evans Buchanan, this time with part of his
second family in the yard of the farm house. In the front are Mary Alethia (1910-1988),
Buchanan, Wade Hampton (1911-1988), second wife Carolina Buena Vista Isabelle Thompson
(1880-1955), William Roosevelt (1912-1999), and Missouri Ellener (1908-1988). The taller girl
in the back is Carrie, a daughter from the first family, 1901-1988. She would become Carrie
Buchanan Ward. Benjamin Evans Buchanan and his second wife had eight children.

Now here is one for members to study around that winter fire. Carl Sutton relates that the man
third from the right is Leroy Sutton (1891 - 1974), son of William Allen Sutton. Carl would
like to know the identities of any of the other men, as well as the location and the type of business
pictured here. We can see what appear to be bolts of cloth, grips, other luggage on the top, an
umbrella, possibly shoeboxes. Was this a general mercantile business with dry goods. Help,
members?

There are many exciting things happening with the Society. A fund raiser in June, our Annual Picnic in
July, and finally plans are being made for an update to the county Cemetery book. Information on how you can help
will be forth coming.
Summer is just around the corner, so plan on coming in to the office and library and check out all of the
new things that we have.

Thank you to JCGS member Lynn Hotaling for the picture and the caption.
The Jackson County Genealogical Society recently presented its 2018 awards. The Daniel Washington Deitz
Memorial Award, presented for service to the JCGS, went to Joe Deitz and The Deitz Family, traditional mountain
musicians who have frequently volunteered their talent to perform at Society events. The Robert Lee and Drusilla
Holden Award, given for service to the study of genealogy, went to Charlie Shuler of Caney Fork, for his"
extensive knowledge and documentation of his family history and genealogy and that of other Caney Fork original
settlers. The Society's Patron Award went to Lambert and Joy Hooper for their work in documenting and funding
the banners that were displayed on Main Street to honor Jackson County veterans who gave their lives in combat.
From left are Deitz Family members Joe Deitz, Delores Deitz and Chrystal Deitz; JCGS President Kenny
Nicholson; Charlie Shuler; and Lambert Hooper. Not pictured are Deitz Family band members Bill Deitz, Linda
Deitz Ledford and Ella Ledford; and Joy Hooper.

On November 9,2018, Jackson County Genealogical Society lost one of our members, Deanna Gibson Roles.
What made her stand out is her dedication to the genealogy of the people in Western North Carolina. She
volunteered at several Genealogical Societies in Western North Carolina. She was instrumental is forming the First
Families of Buncombe. She was the web master for our society and several others. She was always in our office on
Fridays volunteering her time and talent to helping others.
She will be missed by many. But we do envy her to a certain extent, for now she has found all those missing
relatives, broken the brick walls and answered the countless questions.
