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,

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.

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 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 see no reason to belabor the following points: we are in drought conditions, we pay cruel prices at
the gas pump, and we see few plausible reasons why everyone doesn't do genealogy. Know what? We might
as well get over it. We can't change those things.
We can, however, give credit where it's due for this publication. Read the following list: Henry
Buchanan, Walter Middleton, Sanji Talley Watson, Jim Crawford, Steve Adams, Christine Cole Proctor,
Jason Gregory, Violet Robbins Schultz, Linda Hughes Collins, Betty Cope Andrews, Barbara Dills Bishop,
Bill Crawford, Mack Sutton, Dorris Dills Beck, Deanne Gibson Roles, Ruth Crawford Shuler, Rachel Brown
Phillips, and Ruth Ensley Bryson. Those eighteen fine folks, along with your editor, have something to do
with this journal this time. And those are just the members. Former members Robert Brooks and Dillard
Ensley were also instrumental, as well as friends like Nancy Briggs Kiser. We appreciate all of you.
The pedigree charts for JCGS member Hattie Grace Sherrill and for William Dillard Cope were
prepared and submitted by Betty Cope Andrews. There was no room on the pages to insert Betty's name.
So see? Genealogy isn't in any drought at all. We are running strong.

On September 15, at City Tights bookstore, Sylva Herald Editor Lynn Hotaling is to sign
-copies of her book spotlighting Sylva. This announcement is especially important to us in
JCGS, since Mrs. Hotaling graciously donated the profits of the sale of the book to the
Society. One in the "Images of America" series, the book has JCGS member Rachel Brown
Phillips as a major contributor". Watch the local newspaper for more details.

We received a message from Henry in May, then we were privileged to see him at a Society
meeting in July. Henry has started a site on Ancestry.com called "Families of Jackson
County NC." He asks persons to add family data there, and one can get more details from
Henry by writing him at PO Box 850 Pembroke NC 28372 or electronically at
hbnchanan(g>jname.com. This is ambitious, but should be very interesting.
C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s t o G a r y C a r d en
Sylva dramatist and storyteller Gary Carden received an honorary doctorate from Western
Carolina University at commencement August 1. What a well — deserved honor for a man
who writes about our mountain people!

In one of those fortunate coincidences, a good friend from another life, so to speak, shares
her Jackson County roots with us. The picture above is of Jasper Dills, a man who lived
close to Dillsboro and who is buried there in the small cemetery in the field near the Locust
Field Baptist Church. The photo is shared with JCGS by his great - great granddaughter,
Nancy Briggs Kiser of Cary. Below, Walter Middleton accepts the Holden Award for his
outstanding contributions to Jackson County genealogy, while Sanji Talley Watson accepts
the Daniel Deitz Award for outstanding service to the Jackson County Genealogical Society.

We are pleased to spotlight the family of a new member on this page. JCGS member Jim
Crawford of Atlanta spent an evening with JCGS this past spring, joined our group, and
has contributed the photograph above. The picture shows the Samuel Madison Crawford
family of Jackson, Swain, and Cherokee counties. Samuel Madison Crawford, at the left,
was a son of William H. Crawford, who in turn was a son of James Crawford, whose Bible
record we published in these pages a few years ago. Seated next to him is his wife, Cynthia
Masina Hyde Crawford, then daughter Cynthia Rose Lee and son Benjamin Pearl.
Standing in the back are son Samuel Gordon, son James Powell, daughter Lillie Florence,
and son William Lawson. While Jim has a number of relatives in JCGS, he would be one
step closer kin to Karen Nicholson and Linda Collins (descendants of John, half-brother to
William H.) and to Al Hooper and Annette Shelton (descendants of Lucinda (Senthey)
Minerva, h a l f - sister to William H.) than to the other Crawfords. However, since William
H. Crawford's wife was a Hemphill, and since Cynthia Masina Hyde's mother was a
Sherrill...you get the picture. Jim has an cnormons number of relatives among us.

We begged this flyer from the nice folks at Mid - Continent Public Library in
Independence, Missouri, when we were there at the end of May. Obviously, we were a
month early to experience this new place, so we'll jnst have to schedule a return trip.

[Ed. While the Fomey Creek community was technically in Swain County, its people are a mixture of families from
many counties east of Swain, and we all tend to be cousins. These materials were shared by Robert Brooks and
Christine Cole Proctor, whose families lived in that area before the construction of Fontana Dam forced the removal
of hundreds of people.]
