a gift to Jasper and Elijah from their father, included a house in which
the brothers had been "baching" for several years. Jas bought out
Lige’s interest and in 1887 received a deed from his father for 700 acres
(Dickenson County Deed Book 2-143). A new survey showed the tract
contained 1002 acres (Dickenson County Deed Book 2-554). In 1930, he stated:
"Some years before the Civil War, a Hammons found some ore on Mcclure and
took it to Dumps Creek to a shop (forge) where he ran out some metal that
proved to be silver. He hunted for the place but couldn't find it
again ... He dug a big hole a hundred or two feet deep on the south side
of Mcclure below the mouth of Roaring Fork. He couldn't find any
silver, got discouraged and went West. Some of the Wamplers helped
him build a big ladder. I went and saw the hole while he was digging
it. The old pit is still there ... Sometime later I was hunting a
wild-cat near the same place - probably within 200 yeard of the place.
There was three or four inches of snow on, but as I went around a little
bench I found the snow off of about 75 square feet of the ground and a
pile of something like corn-cobs piled up where the snow was off.
I didn't stop to examine them for my dogs were gettin' close after the
wild-cat. Later I remembered that the old man Hammons had found his
silver in just such a place and in a piece of rock just like a corn-cob
... I tried to find the place again. But the snow was all gone off
and I could never find the place or the corn-cobs."
Jasper was a member of Co E, 21st Va Cavalry.
In his recollections (1930), he related some of Co E's military exploits:
"I served in the Confederate Army during part of the war. I went
in at Sandlick, during the summertime, probably in 1863. At that
time Jas Colley was Captain of my company and Zeke Counts was Major.
A short time after I joined, my company was called on to fight Burbridge
as he came back from his first attack on the Salt-Works. About 60
of us went to the Lavisa River below Grundy, but above Rock Lick, and waited
for them to come back. We lay by the road one night and cut trees
in the road to block the Yankees. We didn't take any provisions with
us, so next morning we strung out in the neighborhood to get some breakfast.
Then Major Zeek, William Grizzle, Mack Owens and me went to see the blockade.
The Yanks were there in full force. We darted back into the woods,
but they saw us and followed and nearly surrounded us. We went further
into the woods and hills and got away. Major Zeke, Bart Yates and I went
up the river and saw some more Yankees. They got after us again and
we had to run and scatter. Lige Rasnick was in my company.
It was awful hot and we had run and scrambled over the rough hills so much
that we were tired out. William Grizzle suggested that we hide for
awhile, but I said, ‘No.' Major Zeke came up just then and said that
the Yanks had caught Lige Rasnick and maybe had killed him. We got
down closer to the road and hid behind some big rocks and saw about 4000
Yanks go by. Some of the Yanks were negroes - a company or two of
them. We fired at the Yanks and they fired back at us. The bullets flew
awful thick and glanced off the rocks and made the dirt fly all around
us. Mack Owens was behind a tree, but the bullets came too thick
and made it too hot form him, making the bark fly off his tree. So
he ran back to us and hid behind the rocks. We heard the Yankee officers
say, ‘Go up that hollow and surround them.’ We saw a big company
coming, so we scaled up the hill and went back down on the other side of
the bend to the river again. Here we saw they had Lige Rasnick a
prisoner. Major Zeke and some of us fired again at the Yankees and
they fired back. This drew their attention, and Lige jumped over
the river bank and went down a kind of slip fifty yards or more to the
river where he jumped in and swum across and got away. The Yankees
didn't shoot at him until he got nearly to the river, but they let go at
him plenty then, but didn't hit him at all. None of us were hurt.
The Yanks went on down the river, where they met Uncle John Colley and
Sol Colley. The Colleys ran and the Yanks chased them a little.
Sol stumped his toe and fell down and the Yanks hollered a lot. This made
Sol mad and he got up and ran off. When they got to the top of the
hill, Uncle John Colley said, ‘Let's take another shot.’ And they
did."
Jasper was a farmer, trader and merchant.
