1 William TONEY

—————————————————————————————————————————————

We do not have a completed origin for the Toney family. There are a few gaps that can be bridged by conjecture and/ or other known connections. The Toneys seem to have been originally Vikings from Romsdalfjord (200 miles north of Oslo, Norway, on the Atlantic Coast).

Malahule sailed his dragon ship under the Raven banner to "see what he could find". His nephew, Roolo (Roger), founded a settlement in Normandy, France. His grandnephew, Roolo or Ralph, was given the fief of Toeni on the Seine River by his brother, Hugh, Archbishop of Rouen. Toeni was on the river plain on the south side of the bend of the River Seine, acrossed and downstream from Chateau Gillard (Richard the Lionhearted's prison). Ralph de Toeni III was Standard bearer for William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings (1066) and received the grant of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, England. His wife, Judith, brought him the manor of Walthamstow Toney (now NE part of London). In the Doomsday book he is listed as Tenant-in-chief of several counties.

James Savage's history says that Toney was one of the manors which were holden (subject) to the Castle Dunster (Somerset Co. England). In the 14th year of Edward I (1286) Robert de Toni (Tonee) held one Knight's fee (6 hides or 720 acres) in Biscombe of John de Mahun, lord of Dunster, which appears to have continued in the Toni line for many generations. Robert had distinguished himself in the wars of Scotland and Gascony and succeeded his father, Ralph de Toni, as baron by tenure (1294). He was summoned to Parliament (1299). His arms are in a window of Dorchester Church, County Oxford. The Coat of Arms was a silver shield with a maunche, or large red sleeve, countered. The barony became extinct in 1311. These western lands may have continued in the line of a younger son who did not have inheritance right to the Barony, near London. In the reign of Edward III (1327-1372) the family increased their land possessions by the marriage of John de Toni with Isodola, daughter of Simon de Croscombe. He held a motiy (half) of the manor of Brumfield (1354). In 1460, Hugh de Toni seized (was put in possession of) a moity of the manor of Croscombe and the manor of Brumfield and other lands. There is mention of the lands in 1597 in the 39th year of the reign of Elizabeth I. A river flowing eastward through Somerset is called Tone Flow.

Records shows that John, son of William Toney, was baptized 2/7/1559 and married 6/10/1595 to Agnes Bolt. Our first ancestor who came to America (1654) was William Toney. He likely was the son of John and Agnes (Bolt) Toney. According to legend he was a gambler and a dude (typical of younger sons of the gentry) and on the voyage to America (3 months, 120 passengers) he pocketed most of the loose change on board ship. It must have been a tiresome adventure, and for the others on board, a misadventure. He was indentured to David Williamson, a rich Virginia planter on the James River. William Toney possibly did not serve out his full indenture of 7 years. He married Ann Bishop, probably about 1660, and lived in New Kent Co. Virginia. Ann was the daughter of John Bishop, who had come from London in 10/24/1635 on the vessel Constance. William penned his will in May 1675, wife Ann in September 1675, but both wills were probated the same day, 1/6/1676, in the circuit court at New Kent Co. A fair conjecture of the cause of the deaths lies in the fact that in 1675 and 1676 the Doegg and Sesquahannock Indians "killed near 200 Christian persons". The Bacon Rebellion was the outcome. New Kent Co. is about 10 miles from a major Doegg village.

The Toney descendants slowly moved westward on the Virginia Frontier. Part of New Kent Co. became Powhatan Co., they were in it. Part of Powhatan Co. became Cumberland Co., they were in it also. Buckingham Co. was formed out of part of Cumberland Co., our William Toney and most of his children were born there, and there were many other Toneys in the county in early censuses. They were certainly related since they used common given names for their children. From Powhatan, Cumberland and Buckingham Cos, the Toneys moved southward and westward into Bedford, Franklin and Pittsylvania Counties. Most of the Toneys continued on southward into Raleigh co. North Carolina and on to Greenville and Anderson Counties, South Carolina. Possibly Williams; father took a big jump and moved clear to "Georgia", south of Orangeburg, SC. Then William returned to Buckingham Co. Va. although his son Littleberry moved to Anderson Co. SC. From Raleigh Co., NC. and Greenville and Andersons Co.'s. SC. the Toneys moved to Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky and on west. William Toney's family was the exception since they moved west along the New/Kanawha River through West Virginia and then came to Preble Co. Ohio.

The first Toney we have record of was a William Toney, immigrant, indentured servant to David Williamson, on the James River, Virginia, 1654. We have records on some of his descendants, but we have not yet made the connection to our family. We do know that descendants of the immigrant lived in the same locales as our Toney family. I am sure that someday, we may find a connection with this immigrant. By ages, he would be grandfather, or greatgrandfather of our William Toney. This, of course, has not been established.

Children: William (~1727-1804)

 

1.1a William TONEY Sr.*

—————————————————————————————————————————————

Birth: abt 1727, Buckingham County, Virginia

Death: Dec 1804, Franklin County, Virginia

Burial: Toney Cemetery, Dillons Mills, Virginia

Occ: Farmer, Franklin County, Va. North Fork Blackwater River.

Reli: Blackwater Baptist Church

Wm Toney, Sr. He left a will when he died between 8 Nov 1804 (when he wrote the will) and 30 Dec 1804 when it was placed in probate. see Franklin Co., VA Will Book 1, pg 245. Wm. Toney could not write and made his mark. He names his children: Littleberry, Marion Toney Woodson, Elizabeth Toney Bales, Avirila Toney Thompson, Carely Toney, Poindexter Toney, Edmund Toney, WILLIAM TONEY JR (my husbands line) John Toney (your line) Susannah Toney, Hannah Toney Peters, James Toney and Jesse Toney, William Toney Jr. married Leah Gatliff in Greenbrier co. WV 22 Aug 1782 by Baptist minister Jno Alderson who went on to Cabell Co., (W)V and started church there also. DATES to REMEMBER: Franklin Co, VA was formed 1785 from Bedford.

Old Wm Toney Sr. gave 500 pounds of beef, 4 diets, 2 pecks of corn and 3 pecks of oats to the troops in the REV. War. I got my husband in the Sons of the Am. Rev through that, however, his Wm Toney Jr. was a Sgt. in Bedford Co and I can prove that also. See Court order book 1774-1782 Bedford Co., VA and also, The Military History of Bedford Co., VA 1754-1950 by Lula Jeter Parker.

1773- to Franklin Co.. Va., North Fork of Backwater River to

south foot of Cahas Mountain (west of Boones Mills, Virginia).

1774- Survey of and Purchase- 650 A. E NE from Dillons Mills up south face of Cahas Mountain. Cabin site by spring in meadow. Family graveyard on finger ridge east of cabin in small group of trees. Unmarked field stones, included Negro slaves and modern descendants of them. Stream drains entire property through meadow, now dammed.

Ancestry undetermined, due to destruction of area records. Lived adjacent to Toneys in Buckingham County and Franklin County who are known descendants of the immigrant, William Toney. Chloe Niccum says he had a sister (who married a Moss) and a brother who had migrated to Georgia. (Colonial Georgia claimed a wide area of adjacent South Carolina, so they could have lived in Pendleton Co., South Carolina or in Franklin Co., Georgia with other Toneys.

William Toney Sr., the first known ancestor of our families, was born about 1727, near the James River in the Piedmont area of Virginia, probably in that area now included in Powhatan or Buckingham Counties. Our records say that he had one sister who married a Moss and one brother, at least, both of whom may followed the frontier migration into the Carolinas to Georgia. One unknown source seems to indicate that William's first wife may also have been a Moss. Their only child was Littleberry. William had two daughters by his second wife, Elizabeth and Mary Ann. There were 12 more children by the third wife, Margaret Sutherland. In 1773, William took his family and moved to the Blue Ridge. The site was a small meadow beside a mountain stream flowing off Cahas mountain Into the North Fork of the Blackwater River. The cabin was built beside a flowing spring. Figer ridges extend out from the mountain on both east and west sides. The family cemetery was placed in a grove of trees in the saddle of the east finger. ridge, close above the cabin. The graves are marked only by rough uncut field stones. In 1774, a survey shows second tract of land obtained by William Toney. It included both finger ridges and far up the south face of Cahas Mountain. The Blackwater River flows in an easterly direction from the Blue Ridge at Adney Gap, a few miles west. Downstream, far distant, crossed the major frontier trail coming down the great valley from Pennsylvania, crossing through the Ridge at Roanoke, and continuing down the face of the mountains into Carolinas and Georgia.

1.1c.1 John TONEY

—————————————————————————————————————————————

Birth: 1758, Fluvanna County, Virginia

Death: abt 1825, Glen Lyn, Giles County, Virginia

Burial: Toney Cemetery, Glen Lyn, Giles County, Virginia

Occ: Farmer - Wealthy

Place of residence during the revolution was Albemarle County, Virginia

On application for D. A. R. of 22 Oct 1932 in the name of Mary Elizabeth Tomkies sworned to by Narcissa P. Tynes (Genealogist) to J. E.. Wager, Jr. (notary public) the following was stated.

"In the pay roll of Virginia, on the payroll of Captain Matthew Jouett's company of the 7th Virginia Regiment, compounded by Alexander McClanahan for the month of June 1777, appears the name of John Toney, farmer, born in Fluvanna County, age 22 years in 1780. He had dark brown hair and eyes and dark complexion"

The family record of the Toney family is "John Toney came from Albermarle County, Virginia in 1780 or 1784 and settled in what is now Giles County, Virginia (was Montgomery County) naming his place "Montreal". Later called it the "Mouth Of The East River". It is now known as Glen Lyn and the old burial ground is still there, but the stones have crumbled so the inscription can not be read.

The first know settlement in Giles County was recorded only by a tombstone found at Glen Lynn. "Mary Porter, killed by the Indians, 11/28/1742". John Toney found the cabin site and graves when he settled there in 1780.

Giles County land tax list for 1806 list a John Toney with the following land.

No Toney in 1840 census.

In 1806 was listed as a ferrykeeper at Glen Lyn on the New River.

The second term of the grand jury of 10 Jun 1806 showed and indictment against William Stowers "for entering the whiskey house of John Toney without leave and making use of his liquor" (minute book #1 page 7).

John was operating a grist mill in 1820 as the records show he ground 2,000 bushels in 1820.

The Toney house at glen Lynn, Virginia.

The old brick house that once stood near present day highway route 460, west bound lane, in glen Lynn, Giles County, Virginia and where the mouth of the east river enters the new river, was built circa 1780 from the red clay along the river. It was the oldest brick house in Giles County and the home of John Toney who built the house.

Chloe Niccum note (see): John Toney went to Gerogia and married his cousin Mollie Toney and brought her back to Virginia where they lived in Giles County.

a family. before 1783.

Giles County's Oldest Brick House

If you don't have time to stop then slow down a little as you drive westward through Glen Lynn. Give more than a passing glance to the brick house on the little knoll close to a small Texaco filling station on the right. Tall, substantial, and dignified, this old brick house suggests strength as it stand proudly like a sentinel watching the flow of humanity by its door.

This old brick house has the distinction of being the oldest brick house in Giles County and is located on the spot where the first known white settlement in the New River Valley was made. The graveyard is there within a few feet of the house where in 1780 the Rev. John Toney found a rough stone at the head of a grave on which were these carved words, "Mary Porter killed by the Indians. November 28, 1742." There followed other words but they were illegible.

Here are found the graves of Toneys, McCorkles, Dunns, and other pioneer families.

Raleigh Davis, who was born and lived most of his life in Glen Lyn, and his wife Lilly Shepherd Davis, bought this house 33 years ago. Mr. Davis has owned and and operated the small grocery store and filling station located within a few yards of the house for 11 years.

In reminiscing, Mr. Davis says the greatest pleasure of his youth was listening to the recital of the life in pioneer days as was told to him by his grandfather. Mr. Davis's steel trap mind recorded the every day happenings and doings of the early days of Giles County and his reminiscences gives a vista of the life as it was lived by his forefathers.

The house is in a perfect state of preservation despite its age. Bricks for the house were made by his slaves from clay taken from some part of the 1600 acres owned by Rev. Toney at this time. The outside walls are 19 inches thick and some of the inside walls are brick.

In the basement where the slaves lived is a large fireplace 7 1/2 feet wide.The original pothooks are there but were left within the fireplace when it was closed durning the renovation in 1930.

The Reverend Mr. Toney must have believed in having as many of the conveniences as the time would permit, for water for the home was piped from a spring a mile up on the side of East River Mountain by troughs made from chestnut logs. Most of the neighbors predicted the big house would "break" Mr. Toney.

Mr. Davis says the first store in Glen Lyn was a log house and was owned by William Chatting. John T. Shumate had the first store after the Norfolk and Western Railroad came through this section. L. H. Deweese built a store which was later owned and operated by W. T. Ould. The first postoffice was named Mouth of East River and was in a little building close beside Zell Restaurant. Lester Dunn was postmaster and he also registered voters.

During the construction of Norfolk and Western Railroad, it is said some of the employees renamed the town Hells Gate. When the railroad was completed in 1883 the name was changed to Glen Lyn. The Virginia Railroad came to the town in 1909. A railroad bridge was built across the New River. At the time of construction, this bridge was supported by the highest concrete piers in the world.

The construction of the Appalachian Electric Power Plant begun in 1917, increased the population of this sparsely settled town and made Glen Lyn one of the richest, if not richest, little town in Virginia and one with the lowest tax rate- 10¢ per $100.00. It was incorporated in 1926.

The bridge spanning East River is know as "Porter" bridge, named for Mary Porter, and the bridge over the New River is the Rowan Memorial Bridge named in honor of Col. Andrew S. Rowan, citizen of Monroe, who carried the message to Garcia during the Spanish American War.

According to Ripley's "Believe It or Not" where but in Glen Lyn can a long freight train at the same time be in two states, two counties, across two rivers, across another railroad twice, across a highway and almost encircle the town?

The following is from the 1896 file of the "Logan Banner" by Henry Clay Ragland, which was titled "History of Logan County."

Prominent among the earlier settlers were the Toney Family. While several of the family came to Logan, we believe that there were only two of them who made permanent settlements here. They were Squire Toney & William Toney. Squire Toney settled near Chapmanville, on what is now known as the Fowler Farm. He married a Miss Brown, (He md Nancy Brown, 25 Nov 1813, Cabell Co., now WV, d/o Moses & Lettetia [Gillespie] Brown), and was father of six children, one son and five daughters, one married the late Theophilius Fowler, one married Samuel Farrell, one married Andrew Dial, and one married a Morris from Wayne County, whose first name is forgotten. William Toney married Polly Caperton of Monroe, and settled on the place still known as the Toney Farm. He was one of the Justices of Logan County, and was, during a long life, one of the leading men of the county. He was the father of six children, two sons and four daughters. His sons were Overyon G. and Hugh , and his daughters; Bettie, Rhoda, Mary & Julyantes. Overton G., died several years ago, and Hugh died at Guyandotte in 1895. Hugh was a Captain in the Confederate Army and was a gallant soldier, and at one time, represented the County in the West Virginia Legislature. Neither Overton nor Hugh were ever married. Of the four daughters, Bettie md Charles F. Dingess; Rhoda md Guy Dingess; the others were never married. Miss Mary is the only one of the children that is now alive, and she is still living at the old homestead.

Now back to Jonathan & Elizabeth's family. George W. Toney married America Cacherine Motley, 17 Apr 1855 Mercer Co. (West) VA, d/o William & Elizabeth Sarah W (Chattin) Motley. William md Sarah, 17 Feb 1824 Pittsylvania Co. VA. Fleming Cannaday md Clara Toney, 11 Nov 1856, s/o David & Jane (Walker) Cannaday. David md Jane, 2 Aug 1819 in Franklin Co. VA.

Cannaday d. Feb 1862 in a Confederate Hospital, Clarksville, Tennessee. He was in Co. B, 30th Virginia Battalion Sharpshooters. Elizabeth Toney, d/o Jonathan, md Gordon L. Jordan, 27 Dec 1841, s/o Hugh & Sally (Chapman) Jordan, lived in Mercer Co. WV. Rhoda, d/o Jonathan, md Ralph Hale, 21 Feb 1854, s/o Thomas & Agnes (Lucas) Hale. Giles Marriage Register states, Ralph Hale md Rhoda Toney at Montreal, at Mouth of East River, Ralph age 41 on Dec 13, 1853, single, Sheriff of Mercer Co., born at Wolf Creek, s/o Thomas & Agnes (Lucas) Hale. Rhoda, 37 years on Sep 17, 1854, single, born at Montreal, dau., Jonathan and Elizabeth Toney. Ralph d. 1878, Appraisal of Property 29 May 1878. Rhoda, Will 4 May 1889, probated 19 Jan 1892, mentions: sister Alice Dunn, brother George W., sister Clara Canada, sister Elizabeth Jordan and sister Polly Toney.

Glen Lyn-Hell's Gate-

Toney's Ferry and

Related Community

The oldest cemetery of them all, "Mary Porter (1742), killed by the Indians," was located at Glen Lyn, behind the Toneys' first brick house in old Giles County, and was a part of a cemetery of about seventeen graves which were dug up and relocated in the process of widening U.S. Route 46O to build a new four-lane bridge over the New River. MacArthur Thompson, owner of the land and owner of Little Mac's Convenience Store and filling sta-tion, had the graves catalogued by Attorney Sam Martin, of Pearisburg, and he has promised me the list of them. The Glen Lyn officials wanted the Mary Porter grave located separately from the other graves, and it is displayed beside the highway. All the others, with only a few of their stones preserved, were placed on the creek bank at the edge of the "Little Mac" parking area. The graves marked are: Ralph Hale (1813-188O); Rhoda Hale (182O-1892); Charles R. Harris (born 1861); daughter M. W. and L. E. Walkup (born 1884); and, daughter M. C. and R. J. Mc-Corkle (1883). Rhoda Hale was the daughter of Johnathan Toney, and Elizabeth Caperton. The other names researched by Sam Martin, Mac Thompson has "on file." Mac's wife lived with her parents beside the old, removed graveyard. They lived in a small wood frame house beside the Toney house. This house served as the ferry keepers' house.

The small cemetery was once known as the Hell's Gate Cemetery according to Marilyn Farewell Thompson, who lived in the small house beside the cemetery. She and Mac both tell me there was more to the Mary Porter stone inscription than the date she was killed by the Indians. It had some reference to her father. The stone was stolen by an ohio motorist in the 194Os while the new highway construction was underway.

By order of the Circuit Clerk of Giles County, Virginia in the proceedings of Mac A. Thompson vs. Unknown heirs of Mary Porter, et als, the Court authorized and ordered the relocation of the bodies buried on "that certain parcel of land containing .37 acres situate on the north side of U.S. Highway 46O in the town of Glen Lyn . . . known as 'Hellgate' Cemetery . . . and reinter the said bodies in a suitable repository on the same tract of land in the southeast corner thereof, it appearing to the Court that the present graves are located in the center of the said land, which makes it impracticable to use said property for any purchase as said graves are now located, and it further appearing that said burial lot has not been used since 1894 and that same was never known as a public cemetery and that no person has attempted to exercise any right of ownership of said cemetery or possession or domination of any particular plot, marker, monument or headstone in the burial ground and that there are no known persons now living who are descendants of those now buried in said cemetery and that the present graves are now unkept and in disarray and that it would be to the best interest of the owners of said plots that the same be relocated as set forth on the plot attached to this Petition marked Exhibit 'E,' and that under a proper plan the said graveyard will be maintained in a proper manner with respect to those interred therein . . . and that the remains of Mary Porter, Ralph Hale, Rhoda Hale, Charles R. Harris, Annie McCorkel, Gracie F. McCorkel and Lenore Walkup and any other bodies that may be located therein be reinterred in the southeast corner of said .37 acre tract . . . on a lot 4O'x 25' . . . and that there be erected at each place of interment a suitable monument marker identifying said remains so reinterred, and, if possible, to determine the place and date of birth and the date of death on memorial marker and if the identity of a body is unknown, then, a marker to that effect and that a picket fence be erected around said plot. . .

Mac Thompson advised me that the late Sam Martin, attorney, represented him in these proceedings and that Sam Martin gave him a list of approximately 17 graves, including Mary Porter's, located in said graveyard. Mac tells me he has that list but cannot presently find it. The white picket fence has long since been destroyed by cars parking in the adjacent store and gas station area. Mac further tells me that the Glen Lyn town officials wanted the Mary Porter grave separated from the other graves and placed at the front center of the business lot along the highway, which has been done, although this same large natural stone is now sunken and is at an odd angle.

The failure of the Giles County Court to realize the significance of this first settlement cemetery on the New River is hard to believe. The same lack of appreciation of the James McClaugherty settlement, three miles down the river from Glen Lyn has resulted in the abandonment of thal pIantation home to the present usage of the Florida interests.

Toney's Ferry

John, sometimes referred to as Johnathan Toney (from Buckingham County, Virginia), settled at the mouth of the East River on the bank of the New River, in 1780, where he built the first brick house in Giles County; where he found the decayed remains of a cabin and evidence that some of the land around the cahin had been cleared; and where he found a grave with a rough stone at the head, on which was engraved "Mary Porter was Killed by the Indians November 28, 1742." Then followed something respecting Mr. Porter, but the crumbling away of the stone rendered it illegible (Judge Johnston's history, page 91. Since the settlement of Ingles and Drapers, at what is now Blacksburg (Drapers Meadow) and of Adam Harman at Eggleston (Gunpowder Springs) was placed at 1748, the Porter cabin and grave may be the first record of settlement on the New River.

It is noted that there are also buried at this Porter (Glen Lyn) Cemetery, one or more infants of McCorkle. A family of McCorkles were known to have been in the Drapers Meadows settlement. This is the family that produced Governor McCorkle of Charleston. The name persisted in the Lovern area through the Civil War.

Death: Oct 1837, Glen Lyn, Giles County, Virginia

Burial: Toney Cemetery, Glen Lyn, Giles County, Virginia

Occ: Farmer

1815 Personal Property Tax, Giles County, Va. list a Jonathan Toney as one of the three top taxpayer in his district. It listed 7 slaves, 10 horses and mules, 100 cattle, 1 grist and sawmill, 1 clock, 1 chest of drawers.

The 1810 Census shows Jonathan with 2 males (10-26), 1 male (26-45), 2 males ( 45-Up), one famale (26-45), and 11 slaves.

Joanthan Toney deed was filed 11 Nov 1838 at the Giles County Courthouse, Va. Dr Overton H. Caperton was named Administrator. The deed consisted of 8 legal pages And is almost impossible to read. However what is readable shows that Joanthan had accumulated considerable wealth during his lifetime. The deed showed that at the time of his death he was well worth over $50,000.

William Toney's eldest son by his second wife was John. John seems to have followed this same frontier trail to Georgia to marry his bride. Johnson says he brought his family to Giles County, Virginia. in 1780. His home was on the south bank of the New River on the east side of the mouth of East River. It was the first brick house beyond the mountains and was built on the edge of a small hill. The cemetery was laid on top of the hill. In 1972, the house was torn down and the hill graded away to widen the highway past that point into four lanes. John called his home, "Montreal". It was built on the site of a log g cabin ruins and a grave marked "Mary Porter killed by Indians, 1740." The location is now just north of the Post Office in Glenlyn, Virginia., on the west side of the road. The remaining cemetery stones are being reset on the site. John and Molly's home seems to have been the staging ground for the Toney kin in their effort to gather riches from the mountain wilderness. A sumner's work digging ginseng in the e mountains, drying it and packing it out, could reward the industrious man with sufficient profit to purchase a farm in settled Virginia. The Toneys became ginseng entrepreneurs. In 1784 they established a Root Camp at now Mossy Creek, in Fayette Co., West Virginia. At one time it was called Toney Fork. In 1787, they moved to a site on the Coal River, just upstream from Racine, W.Va. Here John purchased land on the north bank of the river, extending from Bloomingrose at the mouth of Toney's Branch to beyond Maxinc. Here something tragic happened. In 1794 there was an Indian raid. Toney tradition says many were killed, , although there seems to be no record of only two (both non-Toneys). The Toneys fled the area - first to Lew Morris' Fort at Mariner near Charleston, then back to. Giles Co. and on to the Franklin County home. Who were there? From those who later came back and from the father's will, we can on conjecture, but the list would probably include John, William Jr., Edmund, Carey and Poindexter, Eva Thompson, Rebecca Ferguson n and Hanna Peters, their spouses and families. Who were the many killed?" Again it can only be conjecture. Poindexter remarried two year later. Almost certainly it would include his first wife and probably a couple children. This is especially considered since he lacks the traditional Toney names among his children of John, Edmund, Rebecca and Susannah. Possibly Rebecca: Ferguson was killed at this time by the Indians. She had only child, Mary, and had died before her father wrote his will. John Toney was said to have brought his family to Giles County, Virginia. in 1780, that would argue' not only a wife, but one or more children, it was not until 14 years later, the year of the massacre, that his only known child, Jonathan, was born. Could he have lost his children in the massacre? Could this be the reason that he sold the Coal River land in 1799 9 and never returned to Boone County.

Some of Jonathan's descendants have now crossed West Virginia, many more moved southward down the Great Valley into southwestern Va. and eastern Tenn. There is one problem associated with John. A John Toney fought in the Revolution, 7th Va. Line. A John Toney married Mary Fletcher, 1783, in Rockbridge County. A recently received letter reports that after the death of John, Mary Fletcher Toney moved to Kentucky with her parents. Chloe Niccum identifies the marriage of John Toney to his cousin, Molly Toney, in Georgia.

Native of Giles County, Virginia, born at the mouth of the East River, where it goes in to the New River, Glen Lyn, Virginia. Raised and attended school, at a one room school house 5 miles from her house. Walked to and from school every day and sometimes the snow would be knee deep. Had two sisters, Allie and Lizie, Rhoda was the middle aged girl. Named for her aunt Rhoda Tony. When Rhoda was born her aunts, uncles, and other relatives carried her to the attic as they thought that this would make her high minded. One time when they were out picking blackberries she stepped on a black snake, drooped her bucket of blackberries and the snake clung to her heel all the way home, one mile, where they killed it. Married when she was nineteen.

Lived At Big Stone Gap, Virginia

9 Children, 7 Survived

Jessie Sent Clara On 2 Sept 1942 The Following Poetry That Rhoda Jane Remembered;

"Johnny Black And Dandy Jim"

There Were Two Squirrels That Lived In The Wood,

One Was Naughty And One Was Good.

The Good Ones Name Was Johnny Black,

He Had Beautiful Fur Upon His Back,

And He Never Went Near The Railroad Track.

But Dandy Jim! Alas For Him!

He Ran Away One Summer Day

Over The Hills And Far Away.

By Passing The Track, He Never Came Back.

The Railroad Cars Ran Over Him,

And That Was The End Of Dandy Jim.

But Johnny Black, He Always Came Back

Whenever He Went From His Home Away.

He Thought That Home Was The Place To Stay.

He Minded His Mother Wherever He Might Be,

He Thought His Mother Knew Better Than He.

"Lazy Sheep"

(Little Boy)

Lazy Sheep, Please Tell Me Why On These Pleasant Fields You Lie,

Eating Grass And Daisies White From Morning 'Til The Night?

Everything Can Something Do, But Tell Me Of What Use Are You?

(The Sheep)

Nay, My Little Master, Nay! Do Not Serve Me So I Pray.

Don't You See The Wool That Grows On My Back To Make You Clothes?

Cold, O Cold! So Very Cold You'd Be If I Did Not Give It Thee.

Little Master, This Is Why On These Pleasant Fields I Lie.

"The Frog And The Mouse"

The Frog Went A'courting, He Did Ride, Uh-Huh,

A Sword And A Pistol By His Side, Uh-Huh,

He Took Miss Mousie On His Knee

And Said "Miss Mousie , Will You Marry Me?" Uh-Huh,

"Yes, If Old Uncle Rat Will Agree," Uh-Huh,

Old Uncle Rat Has Gone To Town, Uh-Huh,

To Buy His Niece A Wedding Gown, Uh-Huh,

Where Will The Wedding Supper Be, Uh-Huh,

Way Down Yonder In A Hollow Tree, Uh-Huh,

What Will They Have For The Wedding Supper. Uh-Huh,

Black-Eyed Peas And Bread And Better, Uh-Huh,

First To Come In Was A Little Moth, Uh-Huh,

For To Spread The Tablecloth, Uh-Huh,

Next To Come Was A Little Fly

With The Pudding And The Pie, Uh-Huh,

Next To Come Was A Captain Bedbug

He Swore He'd Fight For The Whiskey Jug, Uh-Huh,

The Frog And The Mouse Went Swimming Across The Lake, Uh-Huh,

But They Got Swallowed By A Great Big Snake, Uh-Huh,

And That Was The End Of One, Two, Three,

The Frog, The Mouse , And The Bumble Bee, Uh-Huh,

This letter received 8/4/97 by E-Mail

Hi Jack, I just found your letter that I had lost. I will try to give you some info on all of us. My name is William Toney Hicks, that's with an "e". I was born in Johnson City, Tennessee. My occupation is Inside Sales of heating and air conditioning supplies. I am part owner of A-OK Supply Co. in Chattanooga, Tennessee I have worked there 14 years.

Education: I have a B.A. Degree from Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga, Tennessee I graduated in 1969 with a Major in Bible and a Minor in Psychology. I completed 10 hours toward a Masters in Religious Education.

I met my wife, Doris at Tennessee Temple University and we were married July 11, 1969.

Doris completed 3 years of college towards a major in English and a minor in Music.

Doris was born September 17, 1946 in Decatur, Illinois. She works at the Hamilton County Nursing Home as an assistant and secretary to the head of the Rehab Department She just changed to this job and enjoys it very much. Prior to that, she worked for the last 3 years at P&S School Supply in the teaching aids department Doris and I and our youngest daughter attend Central Baptist Church of Hixson, Tennessee Doris' father pastored a small country church in Tower Hill, ILL. for 45 years.

I was raised in the Methodist Church in Big Stone Gap, Va. but like a lot of people, it was just something you were expected to do, so I did it. I never really understood what salvation was all about until I moved to Florida in 1958. After a year of riotous living and almost committing suicide, because at I felt like I had nothing to live for, I found out that God's love was real, and that He shed His blood for me on the Cross, and that if I would repent of my sin, I could be saved and my life could have meaning.

My life drastically changed, and I've never regretted giving my life to Christ. End of sermon!!! God has richly blessed us in our marriage. We have three daughters: April Elaine Stephenson, who lives in Colorado Springs, Co. Her husband, Sean, is from Nashville, Tennessee They met at church. Sean went into the Air Force, and when he got out this year, they stayed in Colorado. He works for MCI Communication as a computer systems analyst.

April works for a Christian organization called Focus On The Family. She expecting our first grandchild Sept. 6. Our middle daughter, Amber Noel Lyons lives with her husband, Eric Russell Lyons in Ft. Oglethorpe, Georgia which is about 8 miles away from us. Amber works for a law firm as a receptionist, and Eric is in charge of the Dairy department at Bi-LO Food Store.

1.1c.1.1.6.2.2 Claiborne Ross McCORKLE

—————————————————————————————————————————————

Birth: 27 Dec 1882, Willowston, Mercer County, West Virginia

Death: 13 Jul 1977, West LaFayette, Indiana

Occ: Lawyer

Birth Records of Mercer County, West Virginia, show that Claiborne was born on 27 Dec 1882, (Book #1, Page 102 1853-1889)

Claiborne Ross McCorkle was given, in youth, a thorough education in the public schools of Mercer County, West Virginia. In early manhood he attended Tazewell College, and remained there at hard study for two years. He then entered the Virginia Polytechnic Institute (VPI) at Blacksburg, Virginia, and was a student there for two years, being a member of the Class of 1905. He left the Institute in 1904 and became associated with the McCorkle Lumber Company, Incorporated, and was an active member of that company until 1908, at which time he had determined his future occupation to be the general practice of law. Accordingly he entered the law department of the University of Virginia, took the full course and graduated with high honors in the class of 1910, with a degree of Bachelor of Law. While a student in the law school he became a member of the Theta Kappa Nu, the Greek letter legal fraternity and was also a member of the Raven Society of the University. He was duly admitted to the bar in September, 1910, and soon afterwards began practice at Clintwood, Dickerson County, Virginia as a partner of Attorney J. C . Smith, one of the prominent lawyers of that county, and so continued for one year.

Then deciding that Wise County was a larger and better field for the practice of his profession, he came to that county in the fall of 1911, and located in the town of Appalachia. At the April term 1912, he duly qualified to practice law in the circuit court of Wise County, and commenced a general practice, not confining himself to any particular branch of the pro-fession. In three years of close application, he had become prominent as a lawyer, with a well established and lucrative practice. His reputation as an able lawyer had become so pronounced, and his standing as a citizen so popular, the Republican Party selected him as its nominee to make the race for Commonwealth Attorney in the November election, 1915. In this race he was opposed by Napoleon Bond, a young lawyer of high standing and ability and a staunch democrat. Mr. McCorkle was elected over his opponent by a good majority. Having served his four years' term of office in an able, systematic and fair way, he still held his standing as a lawyer, and his popularity as an official and fellow citizen, and was again nominated by his party to succeed himself in office in the November election of 1919. The democrats had selected as their candidate the "Wheel Horse Politician," William Washington Gernade Dotson, who had been thrice elected to the position, and had never been defeated for public office. The battle was long and fierce and resulted in the election of Mr. McCorkle by a large majority. The office of Commonwealth Attorney was very ably handled by Mr. McCorkle during both terms. He was one of the county's best Commonwealth Attorneys and a gentleman with it. He let his conscience be his guide in both private and public life. He was very clean and ethical in his profession and had the confidence of the court and the juries. No one at his hands was ever prosecuted through ill will or prejudice, nor did anyone escape prosecution through fear or favor. They were all treated alike by him. The high and the low, the rich and the poor, the white and the black, democrat or republican, in his eyes stood on the same footing on a criminal charge, and were so prosecuted. As a mark of his fearlessness in performing his official duty, at the November term, 1920, of the circuit court of Wise County, Mr. McCorkle, as prosecuting attorney, secured the conviction of two white men, after a strenuous legal fight, who had taken part in the lynching of a negro charged with assault upon a white woman. The conviction was generally accepted as a severe blow to mob violence.

Ross was useful and renowned in other walks of life other than in law. He was a member of the Disciples of Christ Church at Norton, a member of Appalachia Lodge No. 229 Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, of the O'Keefe Chapter No. 26, Royal Arch Masons at Tazewell, of Clinch Valley Commandery No. 20, Knights Templar, of Acca Temple, Ancient Arabie Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, at Richmond, of the Idaho Tribe, No. 104, independent Order of Red Men, of the nights of Pythias of the Junior Order United American Mechanics, of Wise County Bar Association and of the Virginia State Bar Association. Was a director of the Citizens Bank of Wise County. During World War l1 he was the government appeal agent for Wise County and was chairman of the Wise County Council for Defense and was chairman of the Wise County Four Minute Men of Wise County. He did all in his power to aid the Government.

On the 5 May 1918, near East Radford, Virginia, he joined in marriage with Miss Hazel Stuart Webb, daughter of George E, and Ella (Peterson) Webb. She is a graduate from the State Normal College, Radford, Virginia. She taught one session in Glamorgan School, near Wise before her marriage. Her parents reside near East Radford, her father being a large and successful grower of farm products of all sorts.

Mr. McCorkle, after retiring from the office of Commonwealth Attorney in 1923, continued his residence at Wise, and resumed the general practice of law. He was the Republican nominee for the state senate from Wise and Dickenson counties in the November election of 1923, but was defeated by John M. Beaty, of the town of Wise, the Democratic nominee. In the fall of 1928, he quit the practice of law and removed from Wise County to Rochester, New York, and entered the employment of The Lawyers' Co-operative Publishing Company, publishers of law books, as a member of the editorial staff.

Ross and Hazel have only one child, George Maston, who was born in the town of Wise, 1 Aug 1921. He was an honor student in high school in Rochester, NY, always standing at, or near, the head of his class. George later received a scholarship to Yale University. In his senior year at high school he was news editor of the school newspaper and assistant editor of the senior annual.

The McCorkle Lectures

University of Virginia Law School

Charlottesville, Virginia

October 9, 1984

The McCorkle Lectureship has been established in memory of the late Claiborne Ross McCorkle (Law Class of 1910) by his late widow, Hazel Webb McCorkle, and his son, George M. McCorkle. Both the donors and the faculty committee responsible for selection of the lecturer have aimed to establish a lectureship of unusual distinction.

In giving shape to the Lectureship, the faculty committee have sought to bring to the platform lecturers whose themes will reflect Ross McCorkle intense devotion to the law and its inner integrity. Moreover, in keeping with the donors' wishes, the committee have sought to conceive a lectureship that could attract the most distinguished figures in other disciplines as well as law- lecturers who, whether lawyers or not, would air themes of fundamental concern to those who care about the health of law and the legal process.

While there I spent much time backpacking and scuba diving, and the wilderness and ocean have become lifelong interests. Another lifelong passion has been travel. I am fascinated by how other people live and think, and how universal human traits are expressed in different cultures. For five years (1987-92)a Portuguese girl I met on vacation lived with me as a daughter and earned her A.S. in Nursing. I have a close friend in Greece, who I also met while traveling, and my second husband is Chinese.

Found in Virginia's school notebook:

"Interlude with God"

"Its your world tonight, God, the heavens tell of Your glory and the moon makes a light for the great dark sky while a tiny winking star keeps watch close by".

"This all speaks of You, God, this blend of heavenly glory and my heart sends up a prayer that my soul remains forever longing

For these brief interludes with You."

Virginia R. Smith.

A letter to Edward Henderson before marriage:

I am thinking of you, dear, let me not wonder if something should steal in to blight our happiness, to rob our love of sensitiveness, and to take away the blending that our thoughts have had together. But let me think only of the laughter we have shared, of the quietness of the evening, of our comradeship in the daytime. It was so short a time for memories, and I have only now for dreaming. So I pray that when you come, dear, my thoughts shall all prove true, that our understanding still is beautiful, oh teach me not to be afraid.

Virginia R. Smith

(Note by mother Effie: This was found in Virginia's notebook and Virginia wrote this just before Eddy came for New Years. They had only known each other a short time since Sept. 1, but during that time they each seemed to share an understanding and their exchange of letters cemented that understanding.)

From the Paxinosa Area Girl Scout Council, Inc.

214 Bushkill Street, Easton Penna. April 6, 1960

Virginia Smith Henderson began Scouting in her birthplace, Richlands Va. When her family moved to Big Stone Gap, Virginia she continued Scouting and enjoyed established camp each summer. After attending Sullins College in Bristol, Va. Virginia married Edward Henderson of Easton, Pa.

The Hendersons were welcomed as newlyweds to their home in Phillipsburg by the bride and groom next door -- Janet and Wendell Upham. Virginia re-entered Scouting as assistant leader of Brownie Troop 32 in Phillipsburg and later was the troop leader. After moving to Milford she became the leader of the first Milford troop in the Paxinosa Council in l95l. Virginia continued as leader of troop 22 until she became Neighborhood Chairman for Milford and Holland Township. In April she was elected to the board as Chairman of District VII.

Edward Henderson, Virginia's husband, is Superintendent of Maintenance with the Riegel Paper Corp. at the Milford plant. The Hendersons enjoy their woodland home which affords them the pursuit of hobbies such as wild flower study, bird watching, hiking and outdoor cooking. During November and December of 1959 the Hendersons vacationed in Mexico and visited "Our Cabaña". They were greatly impressed by it friendly international atmosphere, it picturesque setting in the scenic countryside and the delightful climate of Cuernavaca. They met Miss Maria Laura Avina, Guider-in-Charge of "Our Cabaña", Panoho, the gardener and gate-keeper, and another visiting couple from the States. Dr. and Mrs. William Adams came to look and exclaim and to take pictures, as the Hendersons did. Mrs. Adams is better known as Dr. Livingstone, a practicing physician in Chicago and president of the Chicago Girl Scout Council.

Besides their occasional Girl Scout family and their regular summer visitor, a former fresh-air boy from New York, the Hendersons claim two permanent household members; a Norwegian Elkhound, named Kjarest Kristi, and a Swiss cat (in name only ) called Hansi.

Virginia belongs to the Milford Woman's Club and is Spiritual Life and Stewardship Secretary of the Women's Association of the First Presbyterian Church of Easton.

Mrs. Herbert Trubek Mrs. Remsen T. Schenck

Scouting began for me at age l0 when I became a proud member of our first Girl Scout Troop in Richlands, Virginia. We went pioneer camping the very first other summer -- a most unforgettable and wonderful Scouting experience

Adult Scouting began for me after my marriage to a former Eagle Scout from Easton. My first assignment, as assistant leader to Madeline Hyde and her Brownie troop in Phillipsburg, started me on my Scouting way again, and I've been having unforgettable experiences ever since.

If wishing would make it so, I'd wish every girl a camper - at pioneer, established and international encampments. I'd wish every adult the opportunity to train for leadership -- to learn, to work, to share with adults and young people. I'd wish every neighborhood the help, cooperation, friendship and fun I've enjoyed in mine. Wishing may not make it so -- but Scouting will! Volume 20 May, 1960 Number G.

Samuel Blaine was my mothers' brother and we would see him and his family every summer during 1936-38. This was during the Depression, when we, (my mother Clara McCorkle ) and myself would spend the summer with Grandfather & Grandmother McCorkle first at Swords Creek, Virginia (at the boarding house) and later at Big Stone Gap, Virginia.

I remember spending the night with Uncle Blaine and Aunt Kate at Stonega where Baine was operating the company store. That was the night i didn't get any sleep, as being a city boy I was not used to chickens running under the house all night long.

Uncle Blaine always wanted to be a baseball player and Clara says that in his youth he tried out for and played some minor league baseball (class 'D') and with the Cincinnati Reds, But didn't make the team. Later in his life, after moving to Florida he kept up with baseball every day at the local bookmaker, sometimes even betting as much as fifty dollars on a major league game. Also coached little league baseball in Fort Pierce and came up with a winning team several years in a row. I understand the reason Uncle Blaine move to Florida is that he was in a poker game, in Norton, Va. when one of the player shot another player and Blaine was a witness, so he got out of Virgina real quick so he would not be called to testify.

Blaine was know as a good trader. He always seemed to come out ahead on almost every deal or venture he went into. In fact, I understand that his main position with the McCorkle Lumber Company was to go out and make deals for tracts of timber for the company.

The Following Appeared in the Fort Pierce News Tribune;

-Oct. 30, 1960; S. B. McCorkle, Fort Pierce Sportsman and Real Estate Broker, composed the following poem about this year's World Series. The cumulative account of that final hour of destiny for the world champions Pittsburgh Pirates is so well written and factual, it was deemed worthy of publication and, in our opinion, should rank with other poems written about diamond characters, such as "Casey at the Bat". The poem in its entirety follows:

 

"World Series - 1960"

by Blaine McCorkle

The outlook was dismal for the Pirate team that day

For the score stood 4 to 7 and just two more rounds to play

Then Cimoli strode to the platter he was batting for the pitcher place

He singled sharply to center and was safely at first base

Then when Virdon drove a grounder that hit Kubek in the throat

There were two men on base and that brought up Captain Groat

Dick drove a liner into left and Cimoli scored a run

The score was now 5 to 7 but the Pirates were not done

Skinner moved the runners along by bunting down to third

That put Groat safe at second and Virdon safe at third

The Pirates were still 2 runs behind when Nelson took his place

He flied short to Mantle and the runners held their base

Clement was the batter now he got an infield hit

Virdon scored from third and gave "Old Case" a fit

But the Yankees had 2 Pirates out and needed just one more

And when Hal Smith came up to bat the fans began to roar

But when the pitcher threw 2 strikes the crowd was very tense

But Old Hal smacked the next ball pitched and drove it over the fence

The fans had now gone crazy for the Pirates led by 2

But don't count out the Yankees you don't know when they will come through

They came up for their last at bat and needed 2 to tie

They got these run and tied the score it was now do or die

The last of the 9th got under way the Pirates at the plate

Mazeroski was the hitter the time was getting late

Ralph Terry was now pitching and he threw one high and wide

That's not the kind I like says "Maz" ball one the umpire cried

I'll shoot a fast one over now thought Terry with a smile

But "Old Maz" took a mighty cut and drove that ball a mile

For the Yankee from the city it was sad when they recall

That far beyond the left field fence they are still looking for that ball

For "Maz" that mighty pirate with a sure and deadly aim had knocked another homer and the crowd had gone insane

The series was now over and the fans were in awhirl

For the mighty "comeback" Pirates were Champions of the World!!!

Letter from George Litton, Mildred Son written 6 August 1996

I write to inform you of my mother's death on July 21, 1996. On Thursday May 9 at Lanier Manor Nursing home it was discovered about 1:30 am that she had stopped breathing. The nurses there worked with her until the paramedics arrived and she did begin breathing again but onIy with the help of a ventilator. She was placed in University Hospital in Jacksonville for a little over 2 weeks before being transferred to Vencor Hospital in Green Cove Springs, which is just below Jacksonville and specializes in patients with breathing problems. She was never able to make any progress on getting off the ventilator as her lungs just failed. She developed pneumonia and had various infections which was just too much to overcome. I am not sure that she ever recognized me when I visited her. The nurses did tell me that she had responded to them at times.

Mildred would have been 80 on August 9. She had been in Lanier Manor since about 1979. In accordance with her written instructions, her body was cremated and will be placed in Fort Pierce at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens, Mausoleum, Section Z, Block 21. She specifically requested no services.

Attended and graduated from Coral Gables Senior High School, Coral Gables, Florida. During her early school days she wrote this autobiography. (I think this was written in the ninth grade.)

"My name is Eleanor Jane Stoehr and I was born in Pennington Gap, Virginia on February 28, 1942. Pennington Gap was the nearest and best hospital because where we lived the town was so small there wasn't a hospital. We lived there for about eight years. I went to the first grade there. During my summer vacation, we visited Miami, Florida and liked it so much we moved at the start of the second grade. We liked Miami very much but we moved to Stuart, Florida when I was in the third grade. Later my mother heard about Fort Pierce, Florida and liked what she heard so we moved here. We lived here for three years and then we decided to move back to Miami. I like Miami a lot. I was on a patrol in the sixth grade at Auburndale Elementary. Then I graduated to the seventh grade and went to Shenandoah Jr High School. Then we moved back to Fort Pierce. I went to junior high here. (I was in the eight th grade). I was on the girls intramural team last year. Another girl and I won a championship in shuffleboard.

This year I have joined the Future Nurses, Future Teachers and I'm also on the Green and White staff (newspaper). I have a lot of ambitions or dreams of which I hope to make come true.

One of my main ambitions is nursing, that's why I joined "the Future Nurses" if I don't like nursing, teaching, or the Green And White (newspaper) I'll know by the end of high school what I really would like to do."

1.1c.1.1.6.2.9.1a James Benton CHILDERS Jr.*

—————————————————————————————————————————————

Birth: 24 Nov 1926, Johnson City, Tennessee

Occ: Retailer

Educ: 2 Years College, University Of Miami. Coral Gables, Florida

Reli: Presbyterian

I started school in Merchantville, New Jersey, where my parents were living. We had great times there, as we lived with my grandparents, William Benton and Ola Childers. This was during the great depression of the 1930's. The main reason we lived there was because of money. Nobody had any! My cousins, Wayne and Scott Ashby, lived there also. Wayne was my age and all we did was fight. Uncles Big Jack, Charles, and Allen also lived at home and I was just at the age where I was a big pest to them. During the summers my mother would take me to live with the McCorkles (her family) in Virginia. This was always one of the big times in my life as it meant going to the sawmill, riding the railroad lumber trains, seeing all my McCorkle cousins, and just having a good time. Summers never lasted long enough! Childhood never lasts long enough!

In New Jersey, my father operated a printing company in the basement of the house and I can remember the presses going clickity-clack until late at night. Business was good, but getting paid was hard, so sometimes Benton would take my mother and me to different restaurants to eat so that he could deduct the bill from what the restaurants owed him (the Clarben Press).

About 1938 my parents sold the printing business and we packed up and left. We visited William Benton and Ola Childers in Columbus, Ohio, where we spent several months, then on down to Florida. My father spent some time in the Panama City area looking into different ventures there, but he decided to go on down to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where I entered the seventh grade. The first year we lived near the beach and that was fun. I was on the beach every day and playing in the bay. Benton had a combination service station and restaurant where both he and my mother worked long hours (Jack & Rog Service Station). After two years he sold this business and purchased the State Five and Ten Store on the Tamiami Trail in Miami, Florida. This business was run down a bit. However, by working hard my mother and dad were able to increase sales, buy a house, and get ahead a little. I completed the seventh and eighth grades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and attended Shenandoah Jr. High School, Miami, FL., for the ninth grade. (The war in Europe was getting hotter all the time, and we were keeping an eye on it).

I was very interested in the water since coming to Florida. In Fort Lauderdale I had a rowboat and I would spend a considerable amount of time fishing and just boating around. In Miami we lived about two miles from the bay and of course I had my bicycle and was able to spend a lot of time with a sailboat I owned in partnership with a neighborhood friend. Later, I had a 16 foot boat with a one cylinder Delco Lightplant Engine in it. It was not the fastest boat in the bay, but on one gallon of gasoline I could travel all day and still have a quarter of a tank left. Also, like all the other Childers' boys, I had a paper route which made me a little money.

 

I completed the 10th grade at Miami Senior High School, however my parents thought I was getting a little wild so they packed me off to Fork Union Military Academy, Fork Union, Virginia, for the 11th grade. Cousin Billy, Hunter McCorkle's son, was there at the same time and we had a good year. I returned home and started my 12th and final year of high school at Miami Senior High. All my Miami friends were thinking of the war and we were afraid that we were going to miss it, so in Nov. 1944, my buddy, Kenneth Williams, and I enlisted in the U. S. Navy. After 10 weeks of "boot camp" at Bainbridge, Maryland, they sent me to Basic Engineering School at Gulfport, Miss. Kenneth went into the Navy Seabees upon completion of school, and I was assigned to the U. S. Tweedy DE 532, a Destroyer Escort Battleship. After two years of patrolling the Atlantic Ocean for enemy submarines, I had fulfilled my military obligation to the government and was honorably discharged and returned to civilian life.

After receiving my high school diploma, I went to the University of Miami for a year and half. My working career started with Dun and Bradstreet where I was a Credit Investigator for several years, then a Deputy Sheriff for a year or so. About this time the Korean War came along, and of course, since I was in the Naval Reserves I was recalled to active duty. I spent that summer at New Port, Rhode Island. Then, when it started getting cold, I got transferred to San Diego, Calif. While spending a year there, I married my first wife, Elsie Rainey, a nurse from back east. Upon my discharge from the Navy, we moved back to Florida where I got in the "shell" business, making shell jewelry and novelties for wholesale distribution. I also started and operated the Biscayne Shell Jewelry Company in Miami for eight years. Elsie and I got divorced two years later.

I then went to work for several manufacturers selling their products from Maine to Texas. In 1966 I met and married my second wife, Helen Lucinda Gaskin, and we opened a small retail store in Ocean City, Maryland. She was very helpful in operating the store the first few years, but then having babies sort of kept her at home. During this time and for the next twenty years we lived in Florida and the Florida Keys during the winters and Ocean City, Maryland during the summers. Later, in 1984, we moved to Fenwick island, Delaware. In 1988 I retired from selling on the road and devoted all my time to the retail stores which at one time included a total of five retail stores, one warehouse and one laundromat. We are now down to three stores in 1990, but doing over a million dollars in sales per year.

Up-date: April 2, 1995: We discovered that I had a heart condition (Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy) in Feb 1991 and on the advice of my doctors, I'm taking life easier. We sold the two stores in Ocean City, MD in late 1991 to Robert Auker, who had been my Ocean City manager for the past 15 years. We kept the one store in Fenwick Island, Delaware, which our daughters Virginia and Jackie operate. They do all the day-to-day business of the corporation and Cindy and I just lend guidance with the major decisions.

Birth: 13 Jan 1967, South Miami, Florida

Occ: Gift Shop Manager

I was born at South Miami Hospital on Friday, January 13th, 1967. My parents almost named me "Jenny Lind" or "Tiger Lil", but decided on Virginia Lynn after my Dad's cousin, "Big" Virginia McCorkle. (My computer handle is Phluff70). When I was seven we moved to Long Key, Florida, and at the age of 14 we moved to a beautiful house with 5 acres on the Atlantic Ocean in Plantation Key, Florida Keys. I had my own power boat and liked to fish, swim, and tend to my exotic chickens. During these years I enjoyed dance, piano, and violin lessons and was active in the Girl Scouts. When I attended Coral Shores High School I worked with the Monroe County Sheriff's Department as a member of the Explorer Scouts. The Sheriff's Academy taught me proficiency with firearms, crime prevention, search and rescue, and crowd control. We Scouts were often called to "suit up" to assist during emergencies.

In 1983-1986 I went away to school at Oak Ridge Military Academy in Greensboro, North Carolina where I graduated with high grades. In 1985 Mom and Dad bought me my first car, a Ford EXP from Hunter and J. B. Nelson (cousins). I also got to visit Campbell Cawood and Steve Decker in Greensboro and Winston-Salem, NC on the weekends and sometimes drove down to visit my Aunt Melinda in Myrtle Beach, SC on holidays (its so good to have relatives!).

During my school years, all of our summers were spent in Ocean City, MD. We first lived in a small apartment over the boardwalk; then in the yellow house at the end of 75th street, and later on 44th street in an condominium. Finally we bought Ruth's Shell Shop in Fenwick Island, Delaware, renamed it Sea Shell City, and made the upstairs into a large apartment with 4 bedrooms, and 2 baths.

In 1987 I married Ryan W. Bolton in Clarksville, DE and we lived in the Bethany Beach area and worked at assorted establishments. Then finally I realized my calling (which I later realized was the wrong call...) to join the Army and move to Columbia, SC. After a year I "un-enlisted" myself. Now I really did hear a calling: "Virginia, come back to Delaware, Sea Shell City needs you.....", so back to Delaware we went where my "1st" marriage dissolved. I became a full-time owner-manager of our store in order to keep busy. The fire department was right next door and it wasn't long before I decided to submit my application to become a volunteer Firefighter. I love the excitement and helping people, but I never know when the fire siren will go off and I have to drop everything and run for the fire truck. When I'm not helping to fight fires, I am the Official Photographer for the fire company. During this time I made great friends with a guy by the name of Ronald J. Davidson (a local hero in our Fenwick Police Department because he got the Chief thrown in jail). Two years later we were married on April 7,1993. We live in Bishopville, Maryland in a place I call "Heaven" and consider myself one of the luckiest people I know! Ronald now works in Princess Anne, MD as a police officer and enters competition target shoots on the weekends and collects guns. When I'm not busy, I collect stamps of sealife, and shop, and take care of our many pets: 3 dogs, 4 cats, and 5 birds. See Ya! Phluff70 / Virginia

Birth: 19 Dec 1968, South Miami, Florida

Occ: Gift Shop Owner

I, Jacqueline Christine Childers, was born in South Miami, Florida to Jack & Cindy Childers and a sister named Virginia. We lived in a nice, quiet neighborhood where we could play and ride our bikes safely. While attending Pre-School nearby, Virginia and I took baton twirling lessons and we were so good that we were asked to be part of a group marching in the Junior Orange Bowl Parade. Mom sewed some red, white, and blue sailor suits and caps and marched along with us. Everyone saw us on television the next day.

The family then moved to the Florida Keys where I attended Plantation Key Elementry, and Coral Shores High School. During my middle school years I was President of a very successful Junior Achievement Club, and was invited to attend the National Conference in Indiana--had a great time. One of my hobbies was raising Muscovy ducks. They all had names and would follow me all around the yard. Donald and Daisey would do a good job of cleaning up the garden bugs and weeds, too. We all learned a lot about ducks.

After Graduation, the entire family moved North to Fenwick Island, DE. I moved out and lived on my own for a year. Summers were extremely busy for our business, and as a Manager-Owner I made many buying trips to find new and unusual merchandise for our customers. I also decided that even though I grew up in the business, I wanted to take a full course of business classes, from which I graduated with high grades.

Two years later I married Andy Kaiser. After an interesting 4 year marriage we got a friendly divorce. I have continued working in the family business and going to college part time. Lately, treasure hunting has become my passion on my days off. With a metal detector and dowsing rods I've found many fascinating items and It's been very rewarding. My three Labrador retreivers (two are black and one is yellow) take ME for walks and keep me on my toes. I also enjoy working and relaxing in my yard, and regular "therapeutic" trips to Walt Disney World.
