At the bottom of the chart on Thomas's page, is a table showing the census spread each decade for Larkin & Anna's family. In 1820, they had 4 females below the age of 10, and 2 females 10-16. One of these older ones was Peachy, who married 7 years later. Julie

Bob
I assume, based on Foss conversation with Marybird that Geroge Herring is the
son of Louden Bruce and Mary (Polly) Herring. Also the 1850 Rockingham Co
Census has a Mary Herring as H of HH, age 45 with a George Herring in HH, age
22, they are next to John and Eve Lawson, George Herring married as his
first wife Mary Lawson, dau of John and Eve Lawson, I also think George had
a sister, Margaret Caroline Herring who married Theophilus (sp) Lawson, son
of John and Eve Lawson.
I haven't checked the marriage records yet but believe the parents of George
were listed as Louden and Polly Herring, maybe clerk just omitted Bruce or
assumed Louden was a Herring because George was a Herring, need to check
couple marriage bonds in Rockingham. Needs more research., Eugene

Listed in Gift of Land, from mother Elizabeth, Orange Co., VA

1996, The following information on this family from Mr. Preston Leake, Hopewell, VA.

The given name of Loud(e)n Bruce is sometimes recorded as Loud(o)n, Loudown, Loudan, Loudoun, as well as other spellings including Snoden. Records show that he was a farmer and a carpenter.
Greene County Magazine, Volume 3, page 25 (1981), shows a transcription of the Orange County records for 1805: "Ordered that the hands of (17 men including) Louden Bruce work on the road beginning at Bingham's Meetinghouse and extending to the fork in the road by Louden Bruce's (house), and that James White be appointed overseer thereof."

Loudon B. Bruce is shown in the 1830 Census for Orange County, VA., with one male, 5-10 years; one male 10-15 years, one female under 5 years, one female, 5-10 years, and one female 10-15 years. A person with this same name was also in the 1830 Census for Rockingham County, VA.

The names of the children of Louden Bruce, Sr., by his first marriage to Mildred Estes, are from a Suit filed in Orange County, Virginia, on Tuesday 29 January 1828. It was designated "Brown vs Estes" and was found in the Orange County Minute Book for 1825-1829; however, the pages in this large volume were not numbered thus making it necessary to locate the five page Court decision by date. Additionally, since it was very difficult to read, only the first part is transcribed below:
" the Court being of the opinion that Littleton Estes is entitled to the lot upon which he has erected a saw and grist mill as the part that was intended for Barnett Simmons at its value indepenclently of the said improvements, the said William Estes having so stated in his Life time and induced the said Littleton to open his money in such improvements, and being further of the opinion that the said William Estes, the younger, is not entitled to any of the land that the said intestate died, seized and prospered of doth adjudge, order and decree that one equal third part of the land which the said intestate died, seized and prospered of be allotted to his widow, Frances Estes, and that the residue be divided into eleven equal parts according to qulaity and quantity, the lot upon which the saw and grist mill, erected by Littleton Estes, be vaLued as if owners were on it and that lot be assigned to the son, Littleton Estes, under the contract with his father and Barnett Simmons, and one other lot be assigned to him in his own right and that one lot be assigned to each of the folling persons, viz.: to John Estes, to Elizabeth Cox, one lot to Lucy Cox, to Mary Harris, to Sallie Harris, and one part to the children of Mildred Bruce, deceased, viz. Peachy, Mildred, Louden, Sally, Lucy, Brightberry, and Elizabeth Bruce. One lot to Merry Estes, one lot to Henry Gibson, and one lot to Susan Wood, and that the slaves belonging to the estate of the said intestate be divided into twelve equal shares." Significantly, there is no reference in the above list to a person named William Bruce, and I am becoming more dubious that a person with name was a child of Louden Bruce, Sr. and his first wife, Mildred Estes. We do know however, that Louden Bruce, Jr. and his first wife, Anselina Wood, had a child named, William D. Bruce. Related information is also said to have been found in the Jackson Estes Bible, but I have not yet seen it.

The Greene County Record for 25 August 1977 includes an article titled, "Greene County's Patriot Ancestors, Chapter 17 - Captain Charles Bruce" by Woddie Parrott. Included in the article is the following; "The writer has not endeavored to trace the relationship of Capt. Charles Bruce to Laudon Bruce. Loudon B. Bruce married Milly Estes, daughter of William and Frances Cox Estes, on September 10, 1807, and they Lived in Celt in present Greene County. A descendant of this marriage, Captain William Bruce, served as an officer in the Civil War, and resided on the east side of Rt. 603 in southern Greene County."

A Loudoun B. Bruce is included in the 1840 Census for Greene County, VA., page 424, with one male, under 5 years, one male, 40-50 years (probably Louden), and one female, 20-30 years. This must be Louden, Sr. and his second wife, Salina Shifflett Bruce, and their first child, Alman.

Laudon Bruce, 68 years, "carpenter," is Listed on page 342 of the 1850 Census for Greene County, VA., along with his second wife, "Lina" (Salina), 38 years, and their four children: Alman (Almon) G. Bruce, 12 years; Goodman L. Bruce, 9 years; Berryman B. Bruce, 4 years; and Fielding S. Bruce, 6 months.

Four of the children of this marriage were mentioned in Greene County Deed Book 6, page 139, dated 11 May 1872. This document suggests that Louden Bruce was deceased by this date and that the children of his second wife, Salina Shifflett, were selling property which "fell to them", as follows: "This Indenture made this 11th day of May in the year of our Lord 1872, between John Bruce and Henreitta, his wife; Alman Bruce and Sallie, his wife; Larkin Bruce and Pollie Ann, his wife; and Berryman Bruce and Elizaan, his wife, of the County of Albemarle and the State of Virginia, of the one part, and Hastin Shiflett of the County of Greene and same State, of the other part, Witnesseth, that the said John Bruce and Henreitta, his wife; Larkin Bruce and Pollie Ann, his wife; and Berryman Bruce and Elizaan, his wife, for and in consideration of the sum of one hundred and twenty (?) dollars to them in hand paid by the said Hastin Shiflett, the receipt whereof the said parties doth hereby acknowledge, have granted, bargained, Sold and conveyed and by these presents, doth grant, bargain, sell and convey unto the said Hastin Shiflett, his heirs and assigns, a certain tract of Land, or parcel of Land containing forty acres, be that same, more or less, lying in the County of Greene and being the same that fell to the above named parties, and adjoining Hastin Shiflett, the above named purchaser, Lively Morris and Jeff Morris on Rocky River, to have and to hold the said tract or parcel of Land with appurtenances thereto belonging to him the said Hastin Shiflett, his heirs and assigns, to the only proper use and behoof of the saind Hastin Shiflett, his heirs and assigns forever, and the aforesaid parties for themselves, theit heirs and administrators, doth hereby agree to, and covenant, with the said Hastin Shiflett, to ever warrant and defend unt him, his heirs and assigns kthe title of said Land. In Witness whereof the said John Bruce and Henreitta, his wife; Alman Bruce and Sallie, his wife; Larloin Bruce and Pollie Ann, his wife; & Berryman Bruce and Elizaan ' his wife, have hereunto set their hands and affix their seals the day and year above written." There follows the names and seals as follows: John Bruce, Alman Bruce, Henreitta Bruce, Sallie Bruce, Larkin Bruce, Pollie Bruce, Berryman Bruce. Note, there was no listing of Berryman's wife, Elizaan Bruce, and her seal. Another related fact is that the above Deed was delivered to Hastin Shiflett almost seven years Later on 23 December 1879. Further, the names of two other persons are missing from the above List. They are Fielding Simpson Bruce and Rebecca Bruce, both of whom are thought to be children of Louden Bruce, Sr. and his second wife, Salina Shiflett.

The Marriage bond for Louden's daughter, Elizabeth, includes this man's name. For more detail, see notes in this file under her name. I think it is highly probable that this is the person who made the rope bed which was given to me by my mother, Lydia Cox Leake. I always understood that it had belonged to my mother's grandmother, Elizabeth (Betsy) Bruce Dunn.

The information below is added for future reference purposes:
Albemarle Co. Census includes the following: 1820 Census- Richard Bruce, page 3A; 1830 Census- Elizabeth Bruce, page 232; 1840 Census- Elizabeth Bruce, page 098, Fredericksville Parish; and James Bruce, page 134, St. Annes Parish, VA. Reference was also found to the marriage of George Bruce and Elizabeth Quinn in Orange County prior to 1742. See Orange County Deed Book 10, pages 517-518 and Deed Book 16, page 40. 1 believe the year was 1772. These Deeds appear to relate to the division of their property. There was a divorce or separation, and this couple are believed to have been the grandparents of Louden Bruce, Sr. The name, George Bruce, was also found in Augusta County in transaction with Benjamin Cave.

17 October 2000, From <jcrosstx@charter.net>, Julia Crosswell,
Here is an interesting bit of info:
Chapter 6 (not yet posted) is all about Marybird Bruce McAllister -- so far mostly her talking.
Marybird says: "George Herr'n's my uncle, Pap's half brother. The daddy was the daddy of both of 'em, but wasn't the same mammy. " So Louden Bruce was George Herring's father --and I will assume then, that his mother was a Herring. Just passing this on in case any of you are interested. Julie

Children from this marriage of Louden Brightberry Bruce Sr. and Salina (Lina) Shiflett were:

+ 25 M    i. Alman (Almond) M. Bruce was born on 18 Jan 1838 in Greene Co., VA, died on 8 Mar 1917 in WhiteHall, Albemarle Co., VA at age 79, and was buried in Bruce family Cemetery, VA.

Divorce proceedings were initiated against Matilda Jane, by her husband Reuben, for infidelity but she died before the divorce was finalized. Turner Shiflet was one of the witnesses.

26 March 2000, From <jcrosstx@home.com>, Julia Crosswell,
Eugene, I believe Matilda is listed as an heir of Stephen Palmer Shiflett, along with Overstreet and the other children of Larkin & Ann. I believe Larry concludes that Matilda is Overstreet's sister. She apparently had a few children, but the father is not known (or whether she was m. etc.). I believe the earlier assumption was made (from census records) since she was listed in the HH with children and he was there too, they were married--which we now think is incorrect. Julie

Matilda married someone.

Her children were:

+ 31 F    i. Elizabeth Shiflett was born in 1833 in Orange Co., VA.

+ 32 M    ii. James A. Shiflett was born in 1841 in Orange Co., VA.

+ 33 M    iii. Henry Shiflett was born in 1845 in Orange Co., VA.

Matilda married Reuben Shiflett, son of Gatewood Shiflett and Lucinda (Lucy) Snow, on 27 Dec 1870 in Rockingham Co., VA. Reuben was born in 1826 in Orange Co., VA and died before 1900 in Rockingham Co., VA.

General Notes for Mildred (Milly) Shiflett
Hi Bob,
Mildred "Millie" Shiflett
B: ca. 1820 P: Larkin & Anna Shiflett
M: December 19, 1837, ACMB S: Henderson Shiflett
"The Clerk of this county [Albemarle] is hereby authorized and requested
to issue to Mr. Henderson Shifflet License to marry my daughter Milley, given undeer my hand and seal this 19th day of December1837.
Larkin (his X mark) Shiflett Witness - Fountain Gentry"

There is a very graphic divorce proceeding at LVA between Henderson and Mildred. Turner Shiflett was one of the witness and gives a very demeaning testimony against the character of Mildred.

Email from Gina Morris Gibson Sep. 12, 2005
A tidbit of info you don't appear to have. This is from Ancestry.com

Enlisted as a Private on 12 July 1861 in Company H, 57th Infantry Regiment Virginia, Transfered in Company I, 2nd Light Artillery Regiment Virginia on 12 December 1861.

According to oral family history, Sowers Morris went AWOL at some point during the Civil War and was hiding in a cupboard when soldiers came looking for him. One of his children tried to tell the soldiers where he was, but the child was too young for the soldiers to understand what he was saying. They never realized the young child was revealing the place where their father was hid. The child was probably Rebecca as she is the only child that would fit the age requirement for that time.

Sowers Morris walked using 2 sticks. I think you can see that in the photo of him I sent a few months ago.

Sowers married Artamesia (Artemitin; Milp; Missie) Roach, daughter of Calus Archibald (Killis) Roach and Elizabeth (Betsy) Shifflett, on 10 Aug 1850 in Greene Co., VA. Artamesia was born about 1833 in VA and died about 1902 about age 69.

On a different note. Talmadge Shifflett and I have been talking, and we think perhaps the Artimitin Shifflett that m. Sowers Morris (s/o Jeremiah Morris and Mildred {Peachy} Shifflett) could be the d/o Calus Roach and Elizabeth Shifflett. On the marriage bond her name is Shifflett, but older family members insisted she was a Roach. In the obit. of James "Hustin" Morris m. Ella Florence (Fannie) Morris (d/o Alfred Morris and Margaret Conley) the mother is Mitzi Roach and the father is Sowers Morris.

George Wesley Shifflett who m. Julia Helen Morris (d/o James "Hustin" and Ella Florence Morris) said he thought they said her daddy was Killis Roach. But she was definitely a Roach - she won't no Shifflett. Julia said the same thing as did Annie Morris (m. Whit Crawford) another daughter of James "Hustin" Morris.

George Shifflett <MRamius@aol.com>
Artimissa had a brother Archibald who went by Shiflett until he married a Conley woman and then he changed his name to Roach. Artimissa had a sister Mary aka Polly who married Peals Shifflett and then she went by Roach after her marriage [Mary and Polly are one and the same]. Artimissa aka Artimiten on Elizabeth Shifflett and Calus Roach's chart is the third child who married as a Shifflett and then went by Roach after marriage. I have not found a marriage of Elizabeth and Calus so if not married, the children can use whatever name they want.

George Shifflett <MRamius@aol.com>
I decided to get into Morrises because my 2d Greatgrandparents were Burton Morris and Samantha Frazier. As for the Roaches, Elizabeth Shiflett, concubine to Calus, is kin to me somewhere along the way so I decided to look into them. One of my Aunts married the greatgrandson of Polly Roach and Peals Shiflett. That's when I found out that Polly Shiflett who married Peals was the daughter of Calus and Elizabeth. I was also told that Burton Morris had a brother who married a sister of Polly and she was named Missa. Then I realized that Artimetin and Artemissa were the same person especially when the ages matched. I had never seen that obit listing Mitzi or Mitzt Roach as the mother of James Houston until I saw it on your yahoo site. So the only info I have is what I was told by relatives. There was another person who knew but she passed away several years ago. She was Julia Helen Morris d/o of Houston and Ella Florence Morris. She married Greatuncle William Taft aka Bawsley Shifflett. When I talked to her at the 2001 reunion in Grottoes, she said none of her children knew. That's why I held on to this information for about 5 years. Looking at the censuses you provided which were taken 6 days apart proves that within a span of six days she moved from her parents house and became the wife of Sowers Morris. You can count on this information!

26 March 2000, From <Bsh1039@aol.com>, Barbara Hensley,
Beverly Morris was born May 8, 1862 and died Jan. 28, 1950 and is buried at St. Davis Mission. He lived in the Sullivan Area. He married Franky Crawford on November 11, 1891 (Greene County, VA.) Beverly was the son of Burton Morris and Samatha Frazier. My question is where is Davis Mission located? I have an Obituary for Beverly Morris but its in a box of obits that I have collected thru the years and I had it a couple of weeks ago and now can not find it, but I will. Burton Morris has a will at Greene which names Beverly as his son, Book 3, page 62. Burton Morris was the son of Jeremiah and Peachy Shifflett Morris. Jeremiah was the son of Ika and Elizabeth Morris. If you do not agree or see it this way, please let me know . Thanks again. Barbara

Known children of Almond Bruce and Sarah J. Powell
1) George W. - 11 Nov. 1863- 27 Sept 1951

2) William H. Bruce - married Emma B. Koiner, Augusta Co., VA, - I copied date of 10 June 1890 but I am not sure via my notes whether that is the license or ceremony date. William's age listed as 22-7-5, born in Albemarle Co. Emma age 27-7-6, daughter of Tollarns and Nancy M. C. Koiner. No other info. on him.

3) I am assuming that Sallie and Cordelia are the same (as indicated by children listed in 1870 and 1880 Census} I have in my notes the birthdate of 30 May 1870 and marriage to a Powell - unfortunately I did not cite the source on that data.

Notes list his birthdate as 7 August 1880. - but 1910 Census would indicate an 1879 birthdate. For the time being, I have assumed that the unnamed child in the 1880 Census was John and the census taker just got the gender wrong. Notes indicate date of death as 1 Sept. 1960. Married circa 1909 to Fannie, born circa 1878, surname unknown.

1850 Greene Co., VA, Census, Son of Louden B. & Lina Bruce, age 9
1860 Greene Co., VA, Census, Child, age 18

1850 and 1860 Census list him as Goodman Bruce - a name he did not use as an adult.

Married Polly Ann Shifflet circa 1862 - no marriage record found as of yet.

Served in the Confederate Army - a checkered military career at best. According to his pension request, he served in Co. C 10th VA. Reg., and was wounded at Chancelorsville. Larkin did receive a county pension, as did his widow in 1934. But the records of the 10th indicate Larkin was AWOL and a deserter. So who knows.

1870 Census found in Greene Co., VA., age 33, with Polly and children Texas A., Jane B.,and Reuben D.

1880 Census in Augusta Co., VA. - Larkin, wife Mary A., and children Texas Ann, Jane, Reuben Davis, Layton Early, Londoun/Londown, Mary B. and unnamed female born in April

7 March 1894 - Larkin Bruce of Brown's Cove, Albemarle makes an application for a County pension for Confederate service which wa approved.

1900 back in Augusta Co. -- Larkin, Polly Anne (born Aug. 1844), Lucie L, Ida, Simpson, Walker, and married daughter Mary and her family.

1910 Albemarle Co., VA, Census, Blackwells Pct, ED15, Family 134, H of HH, Larkin Bruce, age 66,
1910 has moved to Albemarle Co. - Polly has died, Larkin living with son Simpson and daughter-in-law, listed as Ruth and daughter Ida

11 March 1911 - Larkin petitions to be rerated as totally disabled

1 April 1912 Larkin remarries to Alice Shifflet, age 30, widowed. Ceremony takes place in Staunton. As Alice identiifies herself in later records as Alice Lewis Bruce - and has a daughter with the last name of Lewis - so I am assuming that Shifflet was her maiden name and Lewis her first married name.

In April 1924, Larkin is mentioned as a witness in the pension application of sister-in-law Virginia Caroline Bruce (widow of Almond) as "recently paralized and his mind is in bad shape"

Died 16 Aug. 1824 in White Hall Albemarle Co., VA. - death cert. lists name of father as Brightberry Bruce. Buried in Brown's Cove.

1996, The following information on this family from Mr. Preston Leake, Hopewell, VA., e-mail: phlathome@juno.com

Regarding Goodman Larkin Bruce's wife, I have not confirmed this, but I think her parents were Gatewood and Lucinda Shiflett. Goodman and Polly were married on 7 Mar 1862, but again, I have not confirmed the date.

1998, Bruce Information from Ms. Barbara (Smith) Bruce of Richmond, VA., <bjsmith461@aol.com>
- POLLY ANN SHIFFLET - I know the Shifflet genealogy lists two children for Haisten and Lydia Shifflet - a Mary and a Polly in 1845 and 1844. As Polly is a nickname for Mary, and my Polly was also listed in one of the census records as Mary A., I have made the assumption that they are the same person. Any thoughts?
- born Aug. 1844
- 1880 Census Mary A., age 35
- 1900 census Polly Anne, born Aug. 1844, married 38 years
- 1910 census Larkin listed as widow, "married for 40 years" - I am making the assumption that Polly therefore died around 1902 but have no proof of this.

8 November 1999, From nadams@assure.net (Neva)
For birth records for Nancy, we found J.C & S.A being born April 1877 to Nancy Shiflett, father not known. It appears to be John Conway and Sarah Ann (Lucy). They were born in Greene Co. The 1880 Census listed John and his sister as being 3 years old, which would agree with this birth record.

8 November 1999, From nadams@assure.net (Neva)
In the 1880 Greene Co. Census, H.B. and Martha are living in between David and Emma Shiflett (Calvin's Daughter) and Tom Frazier and Elizabeth Shiflett. Nancy was in the White Hall district in 1880 Blackwell district in 1900 and in Sam Miller district in 1910. In the 1900 Census Henry B. is living in Free Union district, Albemarle Co., VA. He is not in the 1910, because he should be in W. VA. Martha should have died before 1910, and she is definitely buried in W. VA.

8 December 1999, From norm1394@gmail.com (Norman Addington)
I have interviewed two grandchildren and two great grand children of Nancy J. Shiflett. They all said that Shiflett was her maiden name and that she was never married. Nancy is buried at Mount Moriah Methodist Church, White Hall, no marker. The granddaughter of Adam advised me that her grandfather told her that his father was Gustin Shiflett (Augustus in Adams' Obit.) She said Adam said that "Gustin and Nancy was never married and that Gustin was a 'field horse' ". OK!!!!!!!!!!! It is interesting that Lucy Ann Shiflett Wyant parents are not listed in her Obituary. Note that her first son is named Henry. I just found out that she married in Maryland to Adam Wyant, although they were born in Virginia and lived in White Hall. This explains why I couldn't find a Virginia marriage for her. As you know (John) Conway "Convie" Shiflett list his father on his marriage license as Conway. Since Lucy Ann and Convie are twins it would be most interesting to see how her father is listed on her license. One her daughter told me that.
I am still working on the Henry and Jesse Lawson issue. Thanks again for all the help. I will keep you guys posted. Norm

14 January 2000, From norm1394@gmail.com (Norman Addington)
I received the death certificate today for Nancy daughter, Rosa. Her father is listed as Jessie Lawson as Larry had concluded. She died 27 July 1923. This also would be Ida's father.
The only remaining piece of this puzzle is confirming the father of the twins, John Conway and Lucy Ann. We know that Conway is listed on the marriage license as father of John Conway, but it is interesting to note that Lucy Ann named her first born - Henry. Lucy Ann got married in Maryland but at this time I don't which county. All marriage licenses in Maryland are retained by the counties, not the state. Her daughter who lives in Charlottesville is trying to find her marriage license. Will keep you posted. Norm.

To: jcrosstx@charter.net (Julie Crosswell)
CC: LFSOFVA@aol.com (Larry Shiflett), EPOWELL555@aol.com (Eugene Powell), bklein26@comcast.net (Bob Klein); Julie, Thanks for giving me the opportunity to respond to Nina email.
First I don't intend to make it to the chat room on Sunday for additional discussions on Henry B. will not serve any useful purpose. Nina's response was expected but I was surprised by her tone. She wants to believe that Henry B. is as 'pure as the driven snow' which in my opinion he is not. I have the up most respect for Chestley and Mildred based on later verified documents. I have too kept very good notes while researching Nancy J. Many of these visits were tape recorded to insure that I had all the information correct that was verbally given. I would then transcribe these into a log book. For my research and for Nancy site I wanted to give credit to Larry, Bob and Eugene for their help on this project. These fine researchers are not involved with the issue of Henry B. so I don't want them to be caught in the middle on this subject. They are certainly free to voiced their opinion if they so desired.

***** Background *****
23 Feb, 1997 - I called Larry for the first time after receiving a copy of his and Barbara's book. I discussed the line that I was researching, that is Nancy, Rosa, Conway etc. Larry indicated that they had not been able to figure out the details of this family since the father of some of Nancy's children was not listed in the documents (marriage records, census records) that he used for the book. We now know that this family history was complex with four different fathers involved. Larry and/or Barbara was visiting with Nadine Shiflett (w/o of Leo), one day in preparation of their book and Mildred just happened to also be visiting Nadine. Larry/Barbara were impressed by her knowledge of the Shifletts. Larry suggested that I should contact Chestley and Mildred in my research for which I will always be thankful. He provided their telephone number which I immediately called and set up a visit the next day.

24 Feb, 1997 - LaVerne and I went to Chestley and Mildred home with tape recorder in hand. The tape recording(s) were then transcribed to my log book to which I am referring in my response. As we know both are very knowledgeable on the Shifletts. The first thing that Chestley pointed out to us was that on p.30M of the book Henry B. was missing as one of the children of Calvin. At the time this was the only info I had about Henry B. I was not surprised that Chestley had knowledge of his great grandfather's, Charles P. brother, Henry B. During our first visit Chestley advised Adam, Sallie Belle, and Eddie were the children of Henry B. We now know that he was in error on Adam and can understand why. This has taken some time for us to sort out Adam even though I was given some info on his father later that day by one of the great granddaughter of Adam (see below). He stated that on p. 54 M Eddie was the son of Henry and Nancy and on p. 131F that H. and N. stood for Henry and Nancy. During later visits I questioned him about the source of his information and he said that it was both his mother and in particularly his grandmother Lucy Ann. He later told me that Sallie Belle and Eddie would talk about visiting their half brother/sister, Conway and Lucy Ann. Note that on p. 54M that Nancy is listed as b. 1852. This has created some confusion about their age. As researchers we all have experienced census record dates that can vary as much as 10 years from census to census. In this case it is 4 years for Nancy b. 1848. During that initial visit Chestley also advised that Benson was the father of Calvin. This info as well as the above was sent to you on 15 April, 1997. You responded on 16 April, 1997 with kind words. On 19 April, 1997 I sent you an email relating additional info about Calvin execution in Boonesville. All of this has been proven to be true. Chestley then put us in touch with Adam's grand daughter who we visited the afternoon of same day. He advised that Adam and Roberta Lawson Shiflett were her grandparents. He also discussed Roberta's father, Jesse, being murdered. The granddaughter confirmed that Chestley was correct and that they were her paternal grandparents. She also stated that Adam's father was Gustan Shiflett. She later stated that according to her grandfather, Adam, Gustan and Nancy were never married and that Gustan was a "field horse" (stud horse?). She also mentioned Adam, Convie (Conway), Sallie and Ida was the children of Nancy. Neither Chestley or the granddaughter knew of Rosa for she died in 1923 and lived some 40 miles away in Red Hill. She also mentioned in a later visit that her maternal grandfather were Jesse and that he was a fighter and was "setup to be killed". He was know as 'Fighting Jesse'. We all now know about Jesse. I had forgotten about the info on Gustan until about 6 months ago when I launched into Nancy's line again and revisited all my previous notes.
The point of the above demonstrates Chestley's and Mildred's credibility. Are they perfect? No. I cannot find fault if they didn't recall Adam's father's name or all the grandchildren and great grandchildren of Nancy. It took some time to sort out this line. Chestley had advised me a number of times not to go too deep in my research. I believe he knew more about Nancy than he wanted to discuss in our early discussions. This was probably his good intentions not to have LaVerne embarrassed by the indiscretions/wedlocks in her line. What a gentleman!!! After seeing my final draft on Nancy he confirmed that the info was "probably true" on Nancy's children, father of her children, etc. If you know Chestley this means it is correct.

***** Comments to Nina email *****
1st para. I don't know of very many instances where indiscretions are documented!!!!!!! Yes, Chestley is the source for Henry B. and Nancy as noted above. I offer no apology in using this information from this very credible couple.
2nd para. "Chestley indicated Henry was married to Nancy J. when she and Henry was 15 years old" First of all Chestley was trying to be helpful to Nina and Neva. This info was taken from one of my early draft that I had provided to the Gibson. We now know that Henry was born 1850 and Nancy was born 1848. "Calvin had a son named Henry but that he disappeared and no one knew what happened to him" Again Chestley had advised us in 13 November, 1997, that Henry had left the area and he knew very little about him after he left. I have also stated to you and Larry that Henry left very few footprints after 1900. Now we know that he moved to W.Va. I fail to understand her statement in the next para that "Second, Henry didn't disappear from the hollar". We know that he left the area!!!!!!!! "Chestley says that Adam was Henry's son". I have already responded above.
3rd para. As I have done a considerable amount of genealogy research and have written two books and working on a third I have found that indiscretions are not necessarily known by all of the family members and often by none. This is not amazing. This is the case with Nancy for descendants have shared information of indiscretions with me in confidence that other family members have no knowledge. That is the kind of trust that I have earned. They know that I will not share confidential information. For the remaining of the paragraphs I will state again that Chestley and Mildred credibility has been outstanding as noted above. Except for Adam their track record has been excellent. I don't really don't care if Nina accepts Nancy link or not. I have documented on the site where the source of data on the fathers of her children. I believe the site to be correct. The info that I provided for the site, good or bad reflections, was intended to be accurate and informative. I believe that we have achieved that goal. I am sorry that Nina has refused to be opened minded on this subject. This is her lost. I am also sorry to have respond in this manner for it is not my style or character, however, the tone and implications of Nina email is not acceptable. Sorry for the long response. LaVerne and I are going to Monterey Maple Syrup Festival on Sunday. We will be thinking about you and the guys. Thanks again for all of your help. Norm

Nancy married Henry Benson Shiflett, son of Calvin (Calvary) Shiflett and Elizabeth (Herring) Shiflett. Henry was born on 16 Jul 1853 in Albemarle Co., VA, died on 13 Sep 1931 in Kanawha Co., WV at age 78, and was buried in Ward Cemetery, Cedar Grove, Kanawha Co., WV.

While some researchers believe this Henry is the one who married and or fathered children with Nancy Shiflett, their are other researches who believe this may not be the same Henry. To date no one has found a marriage record to prove this Henry B. married Nancy. I am leaving her here as a consort of Nancy until the debate is settled with documented proof.

15 Jan 2000, From LFSOFVA (Larry Shifflett)
The newspaper story regarding the shooting of Jesse Lawson still intrigues me. The "Burrus" Shifflett could easily be George Burrus Shiflett, son of Charles P. and Sarah Walton Shiflett, grandson of Calvin and Elizabeth. Also, if Adam Lincus is off of Overton, then I think there could be a connection to Nancy. Notice that "Lawson and Shifflett had a had a quarrel, and it was over a woman." My instincts tell me that there is a connection here that could be followed up by seeing if there is more info in the Albe. newspaper or at the CH regading the murder, which apparently took place in Albemarle. Even Sanford Davis shot ole Jesse once, Overton Shiflett shot him once, and Burrus shot him three times - what a character!

Rockingham Register, July 31, 1903
"MOUNTAIN TRAGEDY - Jesse Lawson Shot and Killed by Burrus Shifflett - Bloody End of Bitter Feud:
News was received have Tuesday of the murder of Jesse Lawson, which was committed in Shifflett's Hollow, in the Albemarle county, not far from the Greene county line, Sunday night. It was stated that Burrus Shifflett fired the fatal shot, and he is now a fugitive from justice. The details of the killing reached Harrisonburg through the Swift Run Gap people who had come to town as witnesses and interested parties in the Richards vs. Morris case, and they constitute a tale of mountaineer enmity and hatred worthy of the darkest regions of Kentucky and West Virginia. It started with a woman in the case. Several years ago Lawson and Shifflett had a quarrel, and it was over a woman. Shifflett swore he would not die until he had laid low the man he hated. A year or two afterward Lawson was arraigned in the courts charged with burning a barn. He was given two years in the penitentiary on the oath of Shifflett. He returned from Richmond, declaring to his friends that he had served his time as a innocent man, which was afterwards proven to be true. A second time Shifflett's vengeance overtook him this time in the shape of a load of buckshot, which, however did not prove fatal. Shifflett disappeared and became a virtual outlaw for a long time. About a year ago he made his appearance again and shot Lawson a second time, with a like result. He was a fugitive from justice again until last week, when he came back into the Shifflett's Hollow country and in the presence of Lawson repeated his oath that he would kill him yet. Sunday night he made good his threat. Lawson had gone out of the house about 9 0'clock and on returning the fatal load of eight buckshot was fired into him. He lived for about an hour after he was shot. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon, which prevented his brother from attending the Richards-Morris trial. The country around the scene of the murder is one of the wildest in the Blue Ridge and Shifflett has so far eluded the pursuit of the law if, indeed, any effort has been made to apprehend him.
Lawson's life was an eventful one. He had been shot five times - three times by Burrus Shifflett, once by Overton Shifflett, and once by Sanford Davis. He is said to have been a man of great physical courage, and that fear was a stranger to his composition. As Burton Morris put it, and Burton knew him intimately for many years, he was a man naturally of a peaceable disposition, but had been made desperate by stress of circumstances. Shifflett has the reputation of being one of the most desperate men whose names are linked with the criminal history of Shifflett Hollow.

Talked to Chestley today and he advised that Burruss Shiflett was never tried for the murder. Based on the news article below, law enforcement officers either were not interested in solving these crimes or was afraid to go into these two hollows, I suspect the latter. Chesley also confirmed that Jesse is buried at Prize Hill Cemetery. Norm

From The Daily Progress, Saturday, 1 Aug 1903:

NOT IN SHIFLETT HOLLOW
CORRESPONDENT SAYS THAT CRIME WAS COMMITTED
IN BLACKWELL HOLLOW
Former Place Not as bad as it is Represented
Neglect of Church and State Largely
to Blame For the Conditions - No
Educational Advantages

Commenting on the murder of Jesse Lawson, this county, on Sunday, night last, a correspondent at Crozet write as follows: Last Sunday night in Blackwell Hollow a horrible crime was committed. One Jesse Lawson was shot by one supposed to be Burruss Shifflett. As I was near the scene of the murder from the time it was committed until the victim was buried, heard the matter discussed pro and con by the people of that section, I wish through your column of your newspaper to clear up, if possible, a few mistaken ideas on the part of people outside concerning that section, and to offer a few suggestions as to how I think such a horrible crime can be stopped and the fair name of Albemarle County, saved the disgrace of such shocking conduct.
The murder has been placed upon Shifflett's Hollow when as matter of fact it took place in Blackwell's Hollow about two miles from Shifflett's. That entire section of county has been considered by people living outside as one in which the life of a stranger would not be safe. Shifflett's Hollow has been a synonym for a murder and all manner of outlawry. It has been use indiscriminately to describe a large a large part of the county which has no more to do with Shifflett's Hollow (Greene County), than it has to do with Charlottesville. I have been all through that section, generally known as Shifflett's Hollow, and now know personally most of the people. I have always been courteously and kindly received, and nowhere have I found a more abundant supply of human kindness. In my dealings with them, both in social and business matters, I have found them at heart very much like other people - some good, peaceful, and honest citizens, other bad, rowdy and dishonest. The isolated condition of the county and the rugged environment offer a splendid field for the outlaw, but comparing the crime committed in Blackwell's Hollow with those in our capital city, I would feel very much safer in the wildest part of Blackwell's or Shifflett's Hollow than on the streets of Richmond in full view of all that betakens refinement and civilization.
There are many people in the neighborhood where Lawson was shot who deplore such lawless conduct and fell most keenly the disgrace it brings upon their section. They would like to see the culprit caught and tried by due process of law. Now is such crimes are to be stopped, the State should put forth every effort to catch the criminal whoever he may be. Burress Shifflett was suspected from the moment of the murder was committed and upon sufficient circumstantial evidence to cause his arrest, and yet no effort was made to take him. If the law is not enforced then the criminal is allowed to go free, there will very likely be no end to trouble. Lawson, though a bad character, has many friends and sympathizers, sad the treacherous way in which he was murdered has turned public feeling very much in his favor and against Shifflett. If the proper constituted authorities do not act promptly and decisively these friend and sympathizers of Lawson may attempt, in their own way, to avenge the murder. So the feud will grow, and Virginia will have a little Hatfield and McCoy tragedy enacted on her own stage. Neglect to enforce the law in the first instance is what gives occasion to the mountain feuds and a continued neglect to enforce the law fosters and encourages them after they have once started.
So long as the murderer is free there will be more bloodshed. Now I do not mean to reflect upon our own county officials for I do not know what they have done or doing in this case, but I wish to urge upon them, and all other citizens who are anxious to maintain law and order, the importance of capturing the criminal, taking him out of the community and is the name of the Commonwealth dealing with him as it is proven he deserves. It will never do to console ourselves with the thought that Lawson was a bad character and deserved the death he got and thus become indifferent in bringing his murderer to justice.

The last couple paragraphs were unreadable. I assume he writes about neglect of church in this area.

HARRY SHIFLETT SLAIN NEAR BOONESVILLE
Another killing near Boonesville occurred the night of April 9 in which two families prominent in that locality are involved, and as a result Wesley Sullivan and his son Golden Sullivan, were lodged in jail at Charlottesville by Sheriff J. Mason Smith and his deputies, under a warrant charging them with the murder of Harry Shiflett, son of Susan Shiflett.
The affair occurred about 10 o'clock and within a few hours the sheriff was aroused at his home by members of the Shiflett family who came down to make the report, and he promptly set out with his two deputies, Abbott and Aldine Smith. They went to the Sullivan home, only a few hundred yards distant from the home of the slain man and then visited Justice P. M. Elliott, who immediately set about summoning a coroner's jury to hold an inquest over the body. They worked through the night hours. The jury assembled at the Shiflett home and heard the evidence submitted. As a result, a warrant was issued for the Sullivans, father and son, charging them with the killing, and they were lodged in the county jail.
According to the evidence submitted, Harry Shiflett was killed at the house gate where he had got out of his car to drive into his home. There were marks of shot on the car when it was examined by the coroner's jury and the young man was shot in the head, neck and face by the charge of a gunshot. It was supposed that he died instantly, as the body was found lying prone in the gateway when members of the family rushed out at the sound of the firing. It is supposed that both of the accused men took part in the firing, though the warrant lays the charge directly against Golden, the younger of the Sullivans.
As yet no motive for the affair has been discovered, although it is said in the neighborhood that there was an old grudge between the two families. It was concluded that young Shiflett had gotten out of his car to open the gate to let himself in and was fired at without any warning. It is also stated that Mrs. Sue Shiflett received some scattering of shot, indicating that there was further firing done after her son, Harry, was killed.
A pathetic feature of the killing is the fact that Harry Shiflett, had only recently been married, though he was not accompanied by his wife at the time of the sad tragedy. Shiflett was about 27 years old and considered one of the most promising and reliable young farmers of his name in the Boonesville section.

Did I ever tell you what my cousin in Gordonsville told me on several
occasions. She is about 80 yrs old. When young, she spent a lot of time visiting her Grandma Ella Shifflett who lived up the hollow not far from the old Herring place where Barbara lived. This would have been after old man George died. (I'm talking about the W side of the mountain). Anyway my cousin said that many times late in the evening they would hear Huston Morris heading from the Herring place back up the Simmons Gap Road singing "O Lord, you know, I have no friend like you". Evidently the way he was singing... they knew he had had too much to drink. Laban

Amanda was born on 2 Jun 1889 in VA, died on 20 Jul 1931 in Rockingham Co., VA at age 42, and was buried in Mandy Herring Cemetery, Shenandoah National Park, VA.

Robert and Amanda divorced Nov. 14, 1908. The did not have any children

Info from Gina Gibson <onemom22boys@juno.com>
The birthdays of Amanda Herring's children came from a small black notebook Amanda kept. Amanda's death date was written in the notebook after her death by Barbara Herring Moneymaker, Amanda's daughter. The notebook is currently in the possession of Herman Morris, Amanda's youngest son.

After Amanda's death, according to my dad and Cora Morris (now deceased d/o James Hustin Morris and Florence Ella), Lucy, Robert, Dennis, and Herman went to live with James Hustin and Ella Florence (Fannie) Morris. The 4 older children, Margaret, Nellie, Grace, and Barbara Herring Moneymaker, had been taken earlier by the state and somehow the Mission Home was involved in the breakup of the family. Barbara Herring Moneymaker told the Simmons Gap Mission Home something about Amanda's family and there was a court hearing in Rockingham Count resulting in the 4 older children being removed from their home. James Hustin Morris said that Barbara Herring lied to the Mission Home and in court. Barbara told me she didn't know why the state took them away from "Mother".

James Hustin and Ella Florence did not keep Robert and Lucy for very long. They were given to Barbara Herring and her husband, Henry Moneymaker to raise. When Lucy and Robert started to school, Barbara gave their last name as Lawson. The family chart shows 2 of the children as Lawsons and since James Hustin Morris and Ella Florence raised Herman, he went by the name Morris. The rest of the children went by Herring. As an adult, Dennis legally changed his name to Herall. No one seems to know why. No one in the family has heard from Dennis since the early 50s, the last time he was in Charlottesville, VA, at the home of Henry and Barbara Herring Moneymaker. At the time he was living in Texas and had married a girl of Hispanic descent. He told family members the next time they saw him he would be driving a Cadillac. The family said they guessed he was still trying to "buy that cadillac".

Unfortunately her father is listed as Unknown. Cause of death is Child birth, Contributory - Dead Child D?????? (looks like the last word may be Daughter)

Dates for her sister, Lucy Herring, are b. Apr. 26, 1899, and died Feb. 14, 1923. Cause - Endocarditis, Contributory - Child birth. Lucy's father is also listed aas Unknown.

Obituary From The Daily Progress, Charlottesville, VA, Aug. 1986
ROBERT B. LAWSON
Robert Burch Lawson, 64 of Chester, Va., died Aug. 27, 1986, at McGuire V A Hospital. He was born August 25, 1922, in Rockingham County, Va., son of the late George Lawson and Mandie Herring Lawson. Surviving are his wife, Viola S. Lawson; two sons, Robert Eugene Lawson, Raymond Burch Lawson, both of Charlottesville; one brother, Herman Morris Lawson of Earlysville; three sisters, Margaret Huffman of Baltimore, Md., Nellie Haynie of Heathsville, Va., Barbara Moneymaker of Charlottesville and three grandchildren. Mr. Lawson was a welder with Cardwell Machine Co. Graveside funeral service will be 2 p.m. Saturday at Oakwood Cemetery with Mr. Ralph S. Carter officiating. The family will receive friends tonight from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Hill and Wood Funeral Home.

NOTE: The Obituary above is incorrect in that it says that Robert was the son of George Lawson. He was actually the son of James Hustin Morris and Amanda Herring. Amanda was never married to George Lawson and had only 2 children by him, Barbara Ann Herring and Georgia Virginia Herring. Robert and his sister, Lucy, were raised by their half-sister, Barbara Ann Herring Moneymaker and when they started to school she gave their surname as Lawson. Herman Morris Lawson above is not a Lawson either. His name is Herman Morris and he is a full brother to Robert.

Robert told that once he was up in an apple tree knocking apples down and the milk cow kept eating them as they hit the ground. So he took the cow and tied her to the fence by her tail. The cow pulled until she pulled her own tail off. Robert was living with his father, Hustin Morris, at the time.

Robert was involved in a bank robbery and was sent to the state penitentiary on Spring Street in Richmond, VA, where he spent 12 years. When he was released he became a model citizen. While in prison he taught himself to play guitar and one of his first major purchases when paroled was a Gibson archtop guitar with an amp.

Noted events in his life were:

• Robert served in the military. US Army, World War II, Panama

• He was employed. Welder

Robert married Viola (Nannie Hattie) Shiflett, daughter of Eugene Lindsay Shiflett Sr. and Maggie Ola Morris. Viola was born on 11 May 1928 in Greene Co., VA and died on 18 May 2005 at age 77.

   178 M    vii. Dennis Charles Herrold was born on 12 Dec 1927 in Rockingham Co., VA, died on 7 Feb 2002 in Sierra Co., NM at age 74, and was buried in St. Joseph's Cemetery, Las Cruces, NM.

General Notes for Dennis Charles Herrold
1930 Rockingham Co., VA, Census, Stonewall, ED23, Family 214, Grandson, Charles D. Herring, age 3-?/12, living in HH of Barbara Herring

Charles "Dennis" Herring changed his last name to Herrold. His whereabouts have been unknown since the early 50's when he was living in Texas. According to his sister, Barbara Herring Moneymaker, he was raised by Buster and Cora Shackleford in Charlottesville, VA, and he married a girl of Hispanic heritage. Dennis spent time in Beaumont, a home for boys, near Richmond, VA

Born 12 December 1927, Albemarle, Virginia
Died 7 February 2002, Truth Or Consequences, Sierra County, New Mexico

Singer Dennis Herrold did only one recording session in his entire life, but will nevertheless be familiar to most of our readers. His sole record release, "Hip Hip Baby"/"Make With the Lovin'" (Imperial 5482) is a real rockabilly classic and both sides have been included on many compilations.** Biographical details are few. Herrold grew up in Virginia and was still living there when he was enlisted into the US Army on February 9, 1946. The US Army Enlistment Records mention tinsmith, coppersmith and sheet metal worker as his occupation. At the time of his discovery as a musician, in 1957, Dennis was living in Dallas. That is probably where his session took place, on October 17, 1957, with unknown backup musicians (guitar, bass, drums, piano - the guitarist may have been Herrold himself). Four songs were recorded, the two mentioned above, "You Arouse My Curiosity" (first released in 1997 on the CD "That'll Flat Git It, Vol. 12 : Rockabilly From the Vaults of Imperial Records", Bear Family BCD 16102) and "Don't Push Away", which has yet to be located.

All four songs were written by Dub Dickerson (1927-1979), a country singer who dabbled in rockabilly. He managed to get Herrold a recording contract with Imperial. Together with Herrold's wife, Erma Lee Herrold (née Holmes), Dickerson wrote "Stood Up", one of Ricky Nelson's biggest hits, recorded on November 18, 1957 and probably released simultaneously with Herrold's disc (Imperial 5482 and 5483). In an interview quoted by Bill Millar, Dickerson could barely recall the singer. "Dennis and Erma Lee were married and living in Dallas. They were about the same age as me so I guess they were born around 1927 or 1928. I knew Dennis did a little picking but I didn't know he did any singing. I collaborated with Erma to write 'Stood Up' and I had a songwriting contract with Imperial. It looks like the songs I wrote they gave them to Dennis to do. I'm gonna have to check with BMI. I wasn't aware of him doing my stuff !"

"Hip Hip Baby" ("sock chanting a la Presley on a fast moving rockabilly tune" according to Billboard's review) and "Make With the Lovin'" ("Herrold packs plenty of sales savvy into another infectuous rockabilly song") could not compete with Ricky Nelson's youthful freshness and nothing more was heard of Herrold.

Dennis and Erma Lee divorced in the late 1950s ; they had a son, Johnnie Lynwood Herrold, born in 1953. Erma Lee died a few years ago. Her second husband (to whom she was married for nearly 45 years) claims that Dennis always tried to take credit for writing "Stood Up". (In fact, several websites mention him as the composer, including our usually reliable French friends at Rocky.52-net.) There was a period of several years when Erma and her new husband moved a lot that Dennis managed to have BMI and the publisher send him the checks because the companies couldn't keep up with their moves. But Dennis did record the demo of "Stood Up" that was sent to Lew Chudd, Imperial's owner.

Herrold later moved to El Paso. An inhabitant of that city remembers him playing the bars and honky tonks there. His death date (and birth date) comes from the Social Security Death Index. I'm not 100% sure that this is our man, but as the entire SSDI lists only two people named Dennis Herrold, it would be a great coincidence if there were two men with that not-so-common name who were both born in 1927. He is buried at St. Joseph's Cemetery in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Leddie doesn't know much about Jerry, he left when she was young.

William Taft (Bosley) Shifflett, was shot by his wife Julia's brother Jerry Morris.
Jerry Lee Morris never went to trial for the murder of William Taft Shifflett, but took a plea bargain and received 20 years. He served his sentence in the state penitentiary in Richmond, VA.

He was paroled several times and always broke parole by drinking.

Jerry died at his son, George Wilbert Morris', at Stony Point. Jerry was living there at the time. He came home drunk (he was an alcoholic), and instead of going in the house he climbed in a car. He was found dead the next day by some foster children living with Wilbert and Minnie. He had been overcome by the heat which was so bad it had turned his body black.

WILLIAM TAFT SHIFFLETT
Farm Laborer Shot To Death After Argument
ELKTON. (AP) A 40-year-old farm laborer, the father of eight children, was shot and killed after an argument last night at the home of a brother-in-law near here. William Taft Shifflett died in an ambulance on the way to the hospital in Harrisonburg after he was struck in the side by a bullet from a .32 caliber revolver at the home of Whit Crawford. Arrested and held without bond on a charge of murder was another brother-in-law, Jerry Lee Morris, 40-year-old Albemarle county resident of Stony Point. Morris had been rooming at the Crawford home while working on a road project at Scottsville. Rockingham county Sheriff Sam Callander said Morris had admitted the shooting, which took place just outside the Crawford yard following an argument between the two men in the house. Morris said he shot Shifflett because he became angry when Shifflett slapped him while the two were arguing, Sheriff Callander said. The sheriff said the shooting was witnessed by Shifflett's wife and his 17-year-old son, Stanford.

In the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia At Richmond Shiflett et als. v. Commonwealth} From the Circuit Court of Greene County. The Case Stated: This is an indictment against Daniel Morris, Scott Crawford, Richard Morris, and Ahaz Shiflett, by the grand jurors of Greene county, found at the March term, 1892, of the County Court for unlawfully and wilfully distrurbing religious worship at Mount Union, a Christian church in said county. The indictment will be found on page 4 of the record; the summons upon the same page, and the sheriff®s return on page 5

On May 12, 1892, the court, as allowed by sections 3999 and 4012, entered the following order: "It appearing to the court that the indictment in the above cause contains a misnomer in this, that Scott Shiflett in said indictment is called Scott Crawford, by which last name he is commonly known, but his true name is Scott Shiflet--it is therefore ordered that the indictment in said cause be amended by striking out the name of Scott Crawford, and in its place and stead the name of Scott Shiflett alias Scott Crawford be inserted, which is accordingly done. The defendants failed to appear after being duly summoned, and the court ordered the trial to proceed. They were found gulty of the offence charged in the indictment, judgment entered, and, on motion of the attorney for the Commonwealth, "capias" was awarded, appeal was taken to the Circuit Court and the judgment affirmed, except as to the defendant Richard Morris; but as to said Morris, the judgment of the County Court was reversed and annulled.

I copied this obit. for Bev (Beverly) Morris who died in 1950 out of the Greene County Record. His funeral was conducted from St. David's Mission by the Rev. Geo. Fiske. Interment was in the church cemetery at Mission Home. Beverly Morris was the son of Burton & Samatha Frazier Morris and was married to Frankey Crawford. I talked to his grandson Naymon Morris who lives near Mission Home last week. He said that he did not know where he was buried. He told me that he and his wife had around 21 children but his obit only named eight children. He said a lot of the children died young. We were over to the Mission Home Cemetery last week, and I found Alfred & Louise Morris graves. Thanks. However, I did not see any stone for Bev. Morris. Thanks for all of your help. Barbara

Had 21-22, children.

MURDER TRIAL IS UNDER WAY
FRANK SHIFFLETT CHARGED WITH KILLING W. M. (BUSTER) SHIFFLETT
SELF DEFENSE IS CLAIMED

Prosecution asks Verdict of First Degree Murder-Defense Claims Killing Justified, and That Man Killed Was Assailant-Protecting Brother's Home - Three Witnesses Heard Yesterday

Frank Shifflett was placed on trial in Circuit Court yesterday, charged with the murder of W. M. Shifflett, better known as "Buster." Shifflett was stabbed with a pocket knife at the home of Floyd Shifflett, near Island Ford, on the evening of October 2, and died shortly afterward without making a comprehensive statement as to what had occurred.

Sharply contradictory theories of how the killing occurred were presented to the Jury yesterday morning in the opening statements of counsel for the prosecution and defense. The prosecution claims that Frank Shifflett was the aggressor, and during the scuffle stabbed to death Buster Shifflett. The defense declares that the prisoner
went into the house only after "Buster" had startled trouble with Lonnie Shifflett, his brother, and that at the time of the stabbing, "Buster" Shifflett, who was the larger of the two men, was strangling Frank Shifflett so severely that the latter believed his life in jeopardy.

Witnesses called yesterday were Dr. J. R, Shackleford, who attended the dying man; John Frazier, who went with Frank Shifflett to the home of Floyd Shifflett Just before the trouble, and James H. Crawford, who was at the Shifflett home at the time of the affray.

Dr. Shackleford testified that the knife had penetrated "Buster" Shifflett's right lung, causing his death. John Frazier testified that Lonnie Shifflett, himself and Frank Shifflett went to the home of Floyd Shifflett on the night in question for the purpose of removing Floyd Shifflett who was demented, to the home of his brother Frank. Lonnie Shifflett entered the house, but his plans were objected to by Floyd Shifflett's wife and by Buster. Frank Shifflett, he says, then appeared in the doorway and threw a rock striking Buster on the head. Buster rushed out of the door, there followed a scuffle between him and Frank in the kitchen and on the outside of the house after which Buster Shifflett stated he was bleeding to death. Frazier testified that he accompanied Frank Shifflett on his way to Elkton to give himself up to Deputy Sheriff Lucas. Shifflett told him, the witness declared, that he had intended only to inflict a light wound, but from "the way the knife pulled I must have stuck him six inches."

James Crawford gave details as to the surroundings and incidents at the Shifflett home, corroborating Frazier is several respects.

Mr. Ott, in his opening statement for the defense, said Buster had invaded and was making a "common resort" of the home of Floyd Shifflett, and that his client was obliged to stab Buster in order to have his life after being chocked and beaten by the much larger man. Buster Shifflett also was angered, he said, because Frank had reported him for illicit distilling.

Commonwealth's Attorney D. Wampler Earman declared that the prisoner had sought trouble by striking Buster Shifflett with a rock, and that he believed the evidence would justify the jury finding a verdict of first degree murder.

Commonwealth's Attorney D. Wampler Earman is being assisted in the prosecution by Frank C. Stipes. E. D. Ott and former Senator George N. Conrad represent the prisoner.

Those serving on the jury are W. M. Coley, John R. Trumbo, J. F. Fulk, D. A. Swank, E. A. Layman, J. L. Spencer, W. H. Davis, R. E. Melhorn, A. R. Miller, W. G. Wilberger, W. H. Harmon and S. H. Will. As is usual in murder cases, the jurors are not permitted to return to their homes during the trial, and have been given quarters in the home of Jailor W. P. Wine at the county jail.

CHARGE SHIFFLETT MADE INCRIMINATING REMARK
"Stopped One Man's Clock of Ticking," Witness Says - Speeding Up Murder Trial

Evidence to the effect that after fatally stabbing Buster Shifflett at the home of Floyd Shifflett, near Island Ford, last October, Frank Shifflett, now on trial for murder, laughed and said he had "stopped one man's clock of ticking," was offered yesterday in circuit court by the prosecution. The witness was Lester Shifflett.

Other witnesses heard during the day were Osbey Moubray, Ashby Crawford and Emma Shifflett, wife of the late Floyd Shifflett. Moubray and Crawford testified as to the movements of Frank and Buster Shifflett during the cutting affray, saying that when Buster was struck with a rock he went out the kitchen door and there followed a short altercation.

Mrs. Shifflet, at whose home the murder occurred, testified that she objected to her husband being taken away on a cold night, such as when Frank Shifflett came for him. She admitted she was not on good terms with Frank Shifflett.

An effort is being made to speed up the hearing of testimony so that the case may be concluded Saturday. There is every indication that the prosecution will rest today, and that the defense then will begin the presentation of its case.

MOTHER DEFENDS MAN ON TRIAL
MRS. MARGARET SHIFFLETT, 76, TESTIFIED IN MURDER CASE YESTERDAY
THINKS SON BEATEN BY WIFE

Frank at Her Request Went to Rescue of Demented Brother -- Defense Attempts to Show That Buster Shifflett, Who Was Killed, Had Many Times Threatened Frank, Now Charged With Murder.

Mrs. Margaret Shifflett, aged seventy-six, yesterday afternoon testified as a witness in circuit court in defense of her son, Frank, who is on trial for the murder of Buster Shifflett. Frank Shifflett and Floyd Shifflett, at whose home the killing occurred, were both her sons. She said, and then went on to relate why she asked Frank to bring Floyd, who was demented, to her home.

On the day before the trouble the aged witness said she visited the home of Floyd Shifflett, taking with her a loaf of bread for him. When she arrived he was calling for something to eat. His wife paid no attention to his cries and dared her to give him anything, saying that if it was a dose of poison she'd give it to him herself but that he should have nothing to eat. The aged mother claimed she was almost afraid to go to the home because Emma Shifflett, Floyd's wife, had "Focked" her once before. However, she did give him some bread and milk. She found blue spots on Floyd's body as though he had been beaten, and his body was rigid. On the day following she requested four men, one of whom was Frank Shifflett, to go to Floyd's home and bring him to her house. When the party reached Floyd's house they found Buster Shifflett and Jim Crawford there. Floyd's wife objected to him being moved at night and the trouble started. Mrs. Shifflett became confused on one point, however, and that was in describing the knife which Frank carried.

Three sessions of court were held yesterday in an effort to speed up the case, adjournment being taken at 9:30 o'clock last night until this morning. The prosecution yesterday morning called nine witness including A. T. Crawford, Hose Shifflett, Carl Shifflett, Howard Moubray, Deputy Sheriff W. E. Lucas, Allec Shifflett, Mrs. Mittie Ann Sellers, Kemper Crawford and Magistrate R. H. Bridges. Several of these testified that there was a bad feeling between Frank and Buster Shifflett. Carl Shifflett said Frank had once told him that if Buster Shifflett and Jim Crawford didn't stay away from Floyd's house the sheriff and the undertaker would be needed there. Mr. Lucas said that when Frank gave himself up on the night of the killing there were scratches and finger prints on his neck and his collar torn.

The defense began its case immediately after the noon recess, and aside from the evidence given by the prisoner's mother, the testimony was devoted principally to a contradiction of points brought out by the prosecution and an effort to show that Buster Shifflett had several times threatened to kill Frank. W. P. Nestor said Buster told him that Frank was responsible for his being arrested on a charge of illicit distilling, and that he would get even with Frank if he had to kill him before the case came to trial.

The defense is attempting to establish a chain of circumstances which justified Frank Shifflett in going to his brother's home on the night of the trouble, that after his arrival he met Buster, with whom he was not on good terms, and finally that he was compelled to stab Buster in self defense when the latter was attempting to strangle him.

Other witnesses called by the defense yesterday and last night were Sheriff W. L. Dillard, who corroborated Nestor; George M. Shifflett, **** Dean, John Eaton and Vernon Shifflett.

SHIFFLETT IS CONVICTED; GETS TERM OF ONE YEAR
Jury Returned Verdict in Circuit Court Saturday Night -- Sentence to Be Imposed Today.

Frank Shifflett, charged with the murder of W. M. Shifflett near Island Ford on November 2, was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter by a jury in circuit court Saturday night, and his punishment fixed at one year in the penitentiary,

Jurors stated that on the first ballot there were ten for conviction and two for acquittal. On the second vote another juror joined the majority, and finally a sentence of one year was agreed upon by all twelve. The verdict was returned after the jury deliberated for more than two hours. The court granted the motion of attorneys for the defense not to impose sentence until today.

Practically the entire day Saturday was taken up with the argument of the case. Commonwealth's Attorney D. Wampler Earman adn Frank C. Stipes speaking for the prosecution. Shifflett was defended by E. D. Ott and Former Senator George N. Conrad. The court room was crowded all day, and the argument was followed with close attention.

One difficulty encountered by attorneys for Shifflett, who had set up a claim of self-defense for their client was the prisoner's own admission that the first blow on the night in question was struck by himself when he threw a rock at W. M. (Buster) Shifflett. On the other hand the character of Buster Shifflett was brought into question, and the nature of his mission at the home of Floyd Shifflett on the night of the killing was a matter of some doubt, though it was claimed that he had gone there for a crock of apple butter. The prisoner claimed that he believed it his duty to protect the home of his brother, Floyd Shifflett, who was demented.

WILLIAM TAFT SHIFFLETT
Farm Laborer Shot To Death After Argument
ELKTON. (AP) A 40-year-old farm laborer, the father of eight children, was shot and killed after an argument last night at the home of a brother-in-law near here. William Taft Shifflett died in an ambulance on the way to the hospital in Harrisonburg after he was struck in the side by a bullet from a .32 caliber revolver at the home of Whit Crawford. Arrested and held without bond on a charge of murder was another brother-in-law, Jerry Lee Morris, 40-year-old Albemarle county resident of Stony Point. Morris had been rooming at the Crawford home while working on a road project at Scottsville. Rockingham county Sheriff Sam Callander said Morris had admitted the shooting, which took place just outside the Crawford yard following an argument between the two men in the house. Morris said he shot Shifflett because he became angry when Shifflett slapped him while the two were arguing, Sheriff Callander said. The sheriff said the shooting was witnessed by Shifflett's wife and his 17-year-old son, Stanford.

William married Julia Helen Morris, daughter of James Huston Morris and Ella Florence Morris, on 30 Dec 1929 in Greene Co., VA.

HARRY SHIFLETT SLAIN NEAR BOONESVILLE
Another killing near Boonesville occurred the night of April 9 in which two families prominent in that locality are involved, and as a result Wesley Sullivan and his son Golden Sullivan, were lodged in jail at Charlottesville by Sheriff J. Mason Smith and his deputies, under a warrant charging them with the murder of Harry Shiflett, son of Susan Shiflett.
The affair occurred about 10 o'clock and within a few hours the sheriff was aroused at his home by members of the Shiflett family who came down to make the report, and he promptly set out with his two deputies, Abbott and Aldine Smith. They went to the Sullivan home, only a few hundred yards distant from the home of the slain man and then visited Justice P. M. Elliott, who immediately set about summoning a coroner's jury to hold an inquest over the body. They worked through the night hours. The jury assembled at the Shiflett home and heard the evidence submitted. As a result, a warrant was issued for the Sullivans, father and son, charging them with the killing, and they were lodged in the county jail.
According to the evidence submitted, Harry Shiflett was killed at the house gate where he had got out of his car to drive into his home. There were marks of shot on the car when it was examined by the coroner's jury and the young man was shot in the head, neck and face by the charge of a gunshot. It was supposed that he died instantly, as the body was found lying prone in the gateway when members of the family rushed out at the sound of the firing. It is supposed that both of the accused men took part in the firing, though the warrant lays the charge directly against Golden, the younger of the Sullivans.
As yet no motive for the affair has been discovered, although it is said in the neighborhood that there was an old grudge between the two families. It was concluded that young Shiflett had gotten out of his car to open the gate to let himself in and was fired at without any warning. It is also stated that Mrs. Sue Shiflett received some scattering of shot, indicating that there was further firing done after her son, Harry, was killed.
A pathetic feature of the killing is the fact that Harry Shiflett, had only recently been married, though he was not accompanied by his wife at the time of the sad tragedy. Shiflett was about 27 years old and considered one of the most promising and reliable young farmers of his name in the Boonesville section.

Pistol Wound Is Fatal To A Farmer
Erman Morris Dies In Nortonsville Home A 43 year-old Albemarle County farmer was killed last night by a bullet which went through his head while he was sitting in his home near Nortonsville. His wife told authorities the wound was self-inflicted. Mrs. Erman Morris told Deputy Sheriff Abbott Smith that her husband shot himself with a 32 caliber automatic pistol of German make while sitting in a chair near the stove. She said there had been a short argument between them before he fired. Dr. E.D. Davis said there would be no coroner's verdict until an autopsy is completed. The post mortem examination was scheduled for today. No charges have been placed. The shot occurred about 8 P.M. Mrs. Morris said, and Morris apparently died instantly.

Albemarle Farmer Dies Suddenly
A 43-year-old Albemarle county farmer was killed early Tuesday by a bullet which went through his head while he was sitting in his home near Nortonsville. His wife told authorities the wound was self-inflicted. Mrs. Erman Morris told Deputy Sheriff Abbott Smith that her husband shot himself with a .32 caliber automatic pistol of German make while sitting in a chair near the stove. She said there had been a short argument between them before he fired. Dr. E. D. Davis, coroner, said there would be no coroner®s verdict until an autopsy is completed. The shot occurred about 8 p.m., Mrs. Morris said, and Morris apparently died instantly. She said her 12-year-old nephew was the only other person present. The couple are childless. Morris was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Rias Morris and a lifelong resident of Albemarle county.

President Roosevelt, White House, Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. Roosevelt,
My wife and I are writing to you to ask your help in our great trouble. There are three hundred and twenty-five acres in my track of land by their own survey. I found it on the park map and they refused to pay me for it. I bought this land in four different tracts and there were boundage deeds. And they would not pay me for but one hundred and ninety acres. I wrote to them and they raised it to two hundred and seventy acres. But they did not give me any more money per acre. Do you think that this is right or just? Last Friday we were ordered by authorities to be out by December 6. When we have never taken the money for our land because they would not agree to pay for the acres that were short. Our land is good grazing, good crop and good timber land. We feel this is so unjust and unfair so we have never taken the money that has been offered us by the Park people, hope that we will get justice for our land. It is just impossible for me to get my winter stored crops and stock out by December 6, and find a home to go to. I give them a price but never did get any answer. I am sixty-four years old and my eyes is bad. I can hardly recognize a distance a woman and a man apart. I more than appreciate if you could save my home if there is any thing you can do. Do it at once for I am here and no place to go. The office told us they were to move us out we ask him where. he said in the mud. you know how dear a home is when it is taken from us and we have no place to go to. We are pleading for help to save our land.
Yours Truly, Ambrose W. Shiflett"

Bob/Gina,
Here is a little additional info on Joseph Sherman Deane. A friend of mine came to see me today and said that he knew Joseph Deane. He said that Joseph was killed when his car ran off the bridge on route 743. This would be the old bridge, before they built the new bridge across the reservoir. I guess this would be in the late 60s or early 70s. (I live about 3 miles from this bridge and can't remember when the new bridge was built, but it was after I got married in 1963).

Although Christina's age on the 1900 census says she was b. in 1865. This is impossible, since she would have been 8 when Milly Frances was born.

Walter Coleman Had three brothers Buck, Ralph and Nick. Buck and Nick are probably nicknames.
Also one of the sister's that married Lam's had a son named Luther and one of the two lived in Charlottsville Va per one of my cousins

How sure are you about Amanda meeting George Robert Lawson?. I have her meeting a George Lawson but haven't been able to find out which George Lawson he was.
Thanks
Bob

I Cannot prove this - only oral history from my Aunt Barbara Herring Moneymaker. She said that he was her father. Mandy was also married to a Robert Lawson and I asked Barbara "You mean Mandy had 2 men, and both had the name Robert Lawson and Barbara answered, "Yes." I was kinda' amazed at that and I guess that's the only reason I remember it.
So, Amanda married Robert Lawson, and then met George Robert Lawson before meeting James Hustin Morris.
Do you know if there were other George Robert Lawsons floating around in those mts. during the early 1900s? I could very well have the wrong one if there are more than one.
That's another mixed up family, and the only reason I have much of anything on them is due to oral family information.
BTW, Barbara's obit is incorrect in saying her father was George Herring.

15 Jan 2000, From LFSOFVA (Larry Shifflett)
The newspaper story regarding the shooting of Jesse Lawson still intrigues me. The "Burrus" Shifflett could easily be George Burrus Shiflett, son of Charles P. and Sarah Walton Shiflett, grandson of Calvin and Elizabeth. Also, if Adam Lincus is off of Overton, then I think there could be a connection to Nancy. Notice that "Lawson and Shifflett had a had a quarrel, and it was over a woman." My instincts tell me that there is a connection here that could be followed up by seeing if there is more info in the Albe. newspaper or at the CH regading the murder, which apparently took place in Albemarle. Even Sanford Davis shot ole Jesse once, Overton Shiflett shot him once, and Burrus shot him three times - what a character!

Rockingham Register, July 31, 1903
"MOUNTAIN TRAGEDY - Jesse Lawson Shot and Killed by Burrus Shifflett - Bloody End of Bitter Feud:
News was received have Tuesday of the murder of Jesse Lawson, which was committed in Shifflett's Hollow, in the Albemarle county, not far from the Greene county line, Sunday night. It was stated that Burrus Shifflett fired the fatal shot, and he is now a fugitive from justice. The details of the killing reached Harrisonburg through the Swift Run Gap people who had come to town as witnesses and interested parties in the Richards vs. Morris case, and they constitute a tale of mountaineer enmity and hatred worthy of the darkest regions of Kentucky and West Virginia. It started with a woman in the case. Several years ago Lawson and Shifflett had a quarrel, and it was over a woman. Shifflett swore he would not die until he had laid low the man he hated. A year or two afterward Lawson was arraigned in the courts charged with burning a barn. He was given two years in the penitentiary on the oath of Shifflett. He returned from Richmond, declaring to his friends that he had served his time as a innocent man, which was afterwards proven to be true. A second time Shifflett's vengeance overtook him this time in the shape of a load of buckshot, which, however did not prove fatal. Shifflett disappeared and became a virtual outlaw for a long time. About a year ago he made his appearance again and shot Lawson a second time, with a like result. He was a fugitive from justice again until last week, when he came back into the Shifflett's Hollow country and in the presence of Lawson repeated his oath that he would kill him yet. Sunday night he made good his threat. Lawson had gone out of the house about 9 0'clock and on returning the fatal load of eight buckshot was fired into him. He lived for about an hour after he was shot. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon, which prevented his brother from attending the Richards-Morris trial. The country around the scene of the murder is one of the wildest in the Blue Ridge and Shifflett has so far eluded the pursuit of the law if, indeed, any effort has been made to apprehend him.
Lawson's life was an eventful one. He had been shot five times - three times by Burrus Shifflett, once by Overton Shifflett, and once by Sanford Davis. He is said to have been a man of great physical courage, and that fear was a stranger to his composition. As Burton Morris put it, and Burton knew him intimately for many years, he was a man naturally of a peaceable disposition, but had been made desperate by stress of circumstances. Shifflett has the reputation of being one of the most desperate men whose names are linked with the criminal history of Shifflett Hollow.

Talked to Chestley today and he advised that Burruss Shiflett was never tried for the murder. Based on the news article below, law enforcement officers either were not interested in solving these crimes or was afraid to go into these two hollows, I suspect the latter. Chesley also confirmed that Jesse is buried at Prize Hill Cemetery. Norm

From The Daily Progress, Saturday, 1 Aug 1903:

NOT IN SHIFLETT HOLLOW
CORRESPONDENT SAYS THAT CRIME WAS COMMITTED
IN BLACKWELL HOLLOW
Former Place Not as bad as it is Represented
Neglect of Church and State Largely
to Blame For the Conditions - No
Educational Advantages

Commenting on the murder of Jesse Lawson, this county, on Sunday, night last, a correspondent at Crozet write as follows: Last Sunday night in Blackwell Hollow a horrible crime was committed. One Jesse Lawson was shot by one supposed to be Burruss Shifflett. As I was near the scene of the murder from the time it was committed until the victim was buried, heard the matter discussed pro and con by the people of that section, I wish through your column of your newspaper to clear up, if possible, a few mistaken ideas on the part of people outside concerning that section, and to offer a few suggestions as to how I think such a horrible crime can be stopped and the fair name of Albemarle County, saved the disgrace of such shocking conduct.
The murder has been placed upon Shifflett's Hollow when as matter of fact it took place in Blackwell's Hollow about two miles from Shifflett's. That entire section of county has been considered by people living outside as one in which the life of a stranger would not be safe. Shifflett's Hollow has been a synonym for a murder and all manner of outlawry. It has been use indiscriminately to describe a large a large part of the county which has no more to do with Shifflett's Hollow (Greene County), than it has to do with Charlottesville. I have been all through that section, generally known as Shifflett's Hollow, and now know personally most of the people. I have always been courteously and kindly received, and nowhere have I found a more abundant supply of human kindness. In my dealings with them, both in social and business matters, I have found them at heart very much like other people - some good, peaceful, and honest citizens, other bad, rowdy and dishonest. The isolated condition of the county and the rugged environment offer a splendid field for the outlaw, but comparing the crime committed in Blackwell's Hollow with those in our capital city, I would feel very much safer in the wildest part of Blackwell's or Shifflett's Hollow than on the streets of Richmond in full view of all that betakens refinement and civilization.
There are many people in the neighborhood where Lawson was shot who deplore such lawless conduct and fell most keenly the disgrace it brings upon their section. They would like to see the culprit caught and tried by due process of law. Now is such crimes are to be stopped, the State should put forth every effort to catch the criminal whoever he may be. Burress Shifflett was suspected from the moment of the murder was committed and upon sufficient circumstantial evidence to cause his arrest, and yet no effort was made to take him. If the law is not enforced then the criminal is allowed to go free, there will very likely be no end to trouble. Lawson, though a bad character, has many friends and sympathizers, sad the treacherous way in which he was murdered has turned public feeling very much in his favor and against Shifflett. If the proper constituted authorities do not act promptly and decisively these friend and sympathizers of Lawson may attempt, in their own way, to avenge the murder. So the feud will grow, and Virginia will have a little Hatfield and McCoy tragedy enacted on her own stage. Neglect to enforce the law in the first instance is what gives occasion to the mountain feuds and a continued neglect to enforce the law fosters and encourages them after they have once started.
So long as the murderer is free there will be more bloodshed. Now I do not mean to reflect upon our own county officials for I do not know what they have done or doing in this case, but I wish to urge upon them, and all other citizens who are anxious to maintain law and order, the importance of capturing the criminal, taking him out of the community and is the name of the Commonwealth dealing with him as it is proven he deserves. It will never do to console ourselves with the thought that Lawson was a bad character and deserved the death he got and thus become indifferent in bringing his murderer to justice.

The last couple paragraphs were unreadable. I assume he writes about neglect of church in this area.

Email from Elaine Via Feb. 1, 2008
Hi Bob, A few months ago, I had a young man email me about this family. And this is what he said

I am the grandson of Lilly Via. Her first and only husband was Edmund Alexander Herring. He was also know as Ed Shifflett as he was raised by his mother's husband. There is a great deal of confusion about this and I wanted to set the record straight. They had six children that I know of Herbert, Thomas, Sadie, (My Mother), Mollie, Margaret and Mellisa. Only Margaret is still living. I will try to assemble as much information as I can about this family. Alexander Herrings father was Walter Coleman and that is what my mother told me when I asked why my grandfather looked like the Colemans. If I can be of help let me know. Sincerely, Calvin Raynes Luther Calvin Raynes lcraynes@frontiernet.net
