Notes

[NI00003] From:Izellajane@aol.com
Hi Sandi, the connection is that I am the daughter of Sheldon Sowers,son of Annie Aaron. I think you have the spelling of the names different. Asa Isaac Aaron was my greatgrandfather born July 1850 according to the census 0f 1900. He was married to Letitia Missouri Motley born June 1852. Annie was born August 1882. She had a brother Walter who I don't think ever married. Annie married John M. Sowers. Later after his death she married Frank Long (not Mr, Hill). Sheldon Sowers married Ruby Brooks.My dad Sheldon Sowers had his last name changed to spell Sours at the Chatham couthouse. There is a familey tree on Letitia Missouri Motley . You can find it at Ancestry.com by typing in the name. Martha Nuckols was my great-greatgrand mother. She was married to Zachariah Aaron the father of Isaac Aaron.My grandmother Annie spelled her name with 2 a's. She past away in 1960 and was
buried at the familey cementry near Chatham,Va. Sheldon her only child past away July 4th 1952.Also in the 1900 census Asa Isaac Aaron spelled his name with 2a's.

Email from Bill Davis 11/2/2004
At Oscar Nuckols funeral a few weeks ago I learned from Norwood Nuckols that the future of the Israel Nuckols home in western Henrico County VA is not as secure as we had thought. The house has been sold to a developer who specializes in "infill" and who originally had planned to squeeze in a few townhouses on the property that surrounds the old house. That plan was opposed by neighbors, so the developer is expected to present a new or amended plan to the zoning board next week. According to Norwood, the old house has no legal protection for its historic value, though it is thought to be one of the oldest dwellings in the county. It is on only the County Registry, not the National
Registry, and that carries no requirement for preservation. There is a possibility that the current owner might be moved to demolish it if he needs to make his expected return on the property. Norwood did note that the deed does contain an easement for family access to the graveyard, and there are both county and state laws regarding the preservation of burial sites. Even so, it would be a shame to lose the old house, which has been estimated to date to the 1790's. Given the current pace of development in the Richmond area and the level of property values, there may not be a lot anyone can do. If anyone out there has any ideas on how to get a river to run backwards, I would like to hear them.
Thanks, Bill Davis

I just wanted to let you know that I and others who live in my neighborhood (Graham Meadows just down the road from Nuckols Farm Elementary School) are currently trying to convince the county to save Israel Nuckols home from being torn down to make way for new development. The homesite includes a family cemetery, exterior kitchen building, the home that Mr. Nuckols acquired in 1849, and a
>barn. We have been working with Mr. Norwood Nuckols to some degree, but if you have any information regarding this home that would be helpful to us or if you just want to let the county know that the area should be preserved, it would begreatly appreciated. We don't want to see the last bit of Nuckols family history in Henrico be destroyed. Thank you.

Just wanted to let you know that we had a meeting tonight with the Henrico County government people (Board of Supervisors representative and Parks and Recreation representative) and it looks very positive that the County is going to purchase the Israel Nuckols Farmhouse and turn the property into a
historical park. I am not getting totally excited until the money actually exchanges hands, but it looks very very good! So I just wanted to give you that update and I will keep you posted. We should know more in about 2 weeks or so after the next Board of Supervisors meeting. Many Nuckols family members were there and I think that helped tremendously! Also the history attached to the land and house and the fact that there is a family cemetery there helped as well. Anyway, just wanted to share the good news.Thanks! April Sullivan

The Henrico County Historical Society in co-operation with Henrico County Division of Recreation and Parks,
is planning a 30 Year Anniversary Celebration/ Fundraiser.
Proceeds will benefit the restoration of the Nuckols Farm House, circa 1750, that is thought to be the oldest surviving structure in Henrico County. It was the home of six generation of the Nuckols Family beginning with Israel Nuckols.
The event will include food and family entertainment as well as silent auctions to
raise funding for this worthwhile project.
Admission free.
Retail vendors and non-profit organizations are also invited to participate.

The Nuckols Farm house is one of the oldest structures in Henrico County, dating to 1750. It was threatened with destruction as a result of a planned development. The neighborhoods surrounding the property, in partnership with local preservation groups, appealed to the County of Henrico to develop a plan to preserve this historic site and the property was purchased by the County. Future plans call for creating a park with possible use of the house as a museum.

The purpose of this benefit is to help restore the Nuckols Farm House and property as an example of a rural way of life that is fast disappearing from the landscape in Henrico County. The Nuckols Farm was once a dairy. In the early 1900’s Henrico County was a leading dairy producer in the country. Today there are no dairy farms in production in Henrico County.

We are inviting the public and local businesses to participate in this community project to help preserve history in Henrico County.

Berkshire Evening Eagle, Monday, June 27, 1949, Berkshire County, Pittsfield, Mass
BUILDING TRADE HAS UNTOUTED PAUL BUNYAN by Robert C Ruark
Anthoston Ky- Every time I read in the papers about the muddle in housing I get to thinking about I C Nuckols, a craggy old man who don't even need him a hammer to build him a house.
Mr Nuckols has built him many a house, and he will use a hammer if it's handy, but if he can't lay a hand on one it don't slow up the process any. Mr Nuckols just rares back and hits that old nail with his bare hand, wham, liek that, and it sinks in right up to the head.
Mr Nuckolls' particular skill has made him famous locally for many years becasue very few people seem to be able to drive nails through one-inch oak planks merely by smacking them with the flat of the palm. It don't make any difference to Mr Nuckols about the size of the nail; he just as leave drive him a 60-penny as a 10-penny.
So rare is this skill that Mr Nuckols says he figures he could have made him millions of dollars and no law could touch him. However, as a pure artist, Mr Nuckols has been content to employ his rare talent for good at small profit. He won't bet you he can't do it, he just hits the nail on the head.
I went to call of Mr Nuckols recently at his 54-acre farm outside Anthoston. He raises spotted Poland-China hogs there when he is not driving nails through boards, and iit is a right pretty place. Mr Nuckols is burley in build, a little bowlegged and weighs maybe 215 pounds. He is a clear-eyed, confident old man almost 77. Mr Nuckols is a backslid Virginian who went north and has been pining for Goochland County, Va ever since.
He seemed pleased to have us in the place. He said he reckoned we had come in to see weather it was true about him, and that he would be pleased to demonstrate. He led us down past the spring and the chicken yard and picked out a stout poplar plank. He spotted a big thick nail in another board buried in deep and he had to use a claw-hammer for extraction. He poised the big nail on the plank, rared back, and drove her clear through with one smack.
Mr Nuckols said he came by his unique talent when he was a boy back in Virginia. He sadi it was raining on day and he was setting in the barn, waiting for it to clear up, and all of a sudden his eye lit on a white-pine packing box with a nail sticking in it. The box had contained Arm & Hammer soda.
It just came to Mr Nuckols then and there that if a man went at it right, he could drive nails into boards without a hammer, and he started to practice. It wasn't long before he became the marvel of the countryside. Mr Nuckols has never told anyone the secret of his knack. He cradles it as closely as we watch the atom-splitting formula. But he says nothing is impossible if a man has two things.
"All a man needs to do anything he wants to do, " Mr Nuckols says, dragging at his long-stemmed pipe, "is self-confidence and a made-up mind. That's what I tell the children nowadays --- they don't even need book-learning if they've got self-confidence and a made-up mind."
Driving back from Mr Nuckols house, I started to brood about Mr Nuckols formula. It sounded familiar, if phrased a little differently. Then I remembered: Bernard M Baruch had said that the main thing wrong with the nation right now was indecision based on that uncertainity, a mass hesitation due to a fuzzy future. Mr Baruch never drove a nail with his bare hand in his life, but he and Mr Nuckols share a basic formula. There is not much a man cannot do if he is equipped with self-confidence and a made-up mind, even if the problem is as tough, to quote Mr Nuckols, " as a bull's forehead."

While surfing the Internet, and with a considerable interest in the family genealogy, I came across your information on the Nuckols Regiment of Hanover County, Virginia. The reason I am so interested is that I found an entry listed for a Thomas Nuckols of Company G. Son of Jane Woodson and Israel Nuckols. I think that this Thomas Nuckols is my Great-Grandfather. Do you have any additional information that you would feel comfortable sharing? My Great Grandfather's name was Thomas Bagby Nuckols. He was born around 1835 or 1836 in Virginia. All I knew from my Grandfather's stories was that this Thomas Bagby Nuckols served in the Virginia Cavalry during the Civil War. He was captured and paroled. He
left Virginia a number of years after the Civil War, and settled near Westphalia, Kansas. My Grandfather-Arthur Sankey Nuckols was the youngest son of Thomas Bagby Nuckols, and the only child to be born outside of Virginia as the story was told to me. This Thomas Bagby Nuckols died sometime around 1910, and is buried in a cemetery near Westphalia, Kansas. His wife (don't remember her name) and two sons are also buried there, as I recall.

Pg 410 Dr Marvin E Nuckols, Richmond, VA

Dr. Nuckols traces his ancestry through paternal and maternal lines to early emigrants in Virginia from England and Scotland, being connected with the families of Gray, Woodson, Jordan and Morrison. His great-grandfather, Jacob Woodson, was a soldier of the revolution, and many men of eminence in the state are descendants of these emigrants.
Dr. Marvin E. Nuckols was born in Henrico county, Virginia, August 2, 1876, son of Jacob Woodson Nuckols, a farmer of Henrico county, noted for his energy and upright honest life. He married Mildred H. Jordan, daughter of Obadiah and Jane (Morrison) Jordan. Jacob Woodson Nuckols, born July 30, 1836, died September 11, 1910, was a son of Israel and Jane (Woodson) Nuckols.
Marvin E. Nuckols spent his early life on the farm and bore thereon his full share of the farm labor. He built up a strong body and character in this out-of-door life, that when he was transferred to the busier, more exciting scenes of life were strong bulwarks of defense against insidious attack. He obtained a good education without difficulty, passing through the public schools to Richmond High School, where he was graduated with the class of 1894. He had decided upon the medical profession and after leaving high school entered the University College of Medicine, whence he was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine, 1897. He was ambulance surgeon at the City Hospital, Richmond, one year, then began private practice in that city, and there continues, a skilled, highly regarded physician and surgeon. From 1898 to 1913 he was a teacher at the University College of Medicine, the last three years of that time professor of operative surgery.
He is a member of several professional societies, Phi Chi fraternity, the Westmoreland Club; is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and in politics a Democrat. His vacations are spent in the open air so far as possible, hunting being the form of sport he most enjoys, and the mode of relaxation most helpful.
Dr. Nuckols married, June 17, 1903, Alice, daughter of George and Edmonia Dawson, granddaughter of Preston and Selina Dawson, and of Edmund C. and Elizabeth Christian, a descendant of Major Edmund Christian, of Creighton, Virginia. Children: Marvin Everette (2) and Edmund Christian.

Nathaniel Nuckols transformed into Nathan Nuckles when he migrated to Albemarle...he served in the War of 1812 with Reuben and other cousins from Louisa.

Is this the same Nathaniel Nuckols who married 1/27/1838 Goochland Co, VA to Ann W Jones? It is th eonly Nathaniel spelling with one L, so it may be very likely.

I have found more evidence and this is pretty strong.
All of the Nuckols were originally from Hanover, and Louisa Co. They migrated to the other counties from these 2. In 1820 I have every census record from every Nuckols, Nuckolls, Nickols, Nuckles, etc from both of these counties. As I find them in the database, I cross them off of my census book record with a yellow highliter. This means it was verifed for SURE the family and the children and the location. The ONLY one not crossed off with my highlighter for 1820 is Nathaniel Nuckols, Hanover Co, pg59. The children in his household confirm that George and Richard were in the age brackets to be his children. The only thing that worries me is that neither named children Nathaniel. But then that is not always a hard fast rule, just common practice.

THE LAST WILL OF REUBEN J. NUCKOLS
In the name of God, I Reuben J. Nuckols of Hanover do make this my last will and testament revoking all wills heretofore made by me. My first and principal wish is to provide for my faithful and affectionate life, and thinking will be best for her comfort I leave to her in fee simple, my man Stepney and his wife Eliza ma?? their child Joshua and the girl Susan, one thousand dollars in money, my buggy and any art of my household furniture she may choose to have.The money is to be a portion of the debt due me from Isham Woodson, secured by deed of trust and is to ???? interest in his favor from my death. I wish my landed estate in the County of Hanover on a part of which I live, on another part of which my son Hardin lives, and on the other part of which my son in law William H. Nuckols lives to be divided by the following line beginning at the South Anna River at the point where my uppermost dike comes off to the hill, with that dike to the hill, thence by a straight line to the spreading White Oak tree. On the Mill Road at the foot of the hill beyond my barn thence up the road to the Honey Locust tree on this the south side of the same road just ab?? the corner of the wood, thence due south to the canal of the mill, thence up the canal to the present line fence between my son and son in law, thence with that fence across the canal and creek and with said fence to a point from which the shortest line through to the County Road will cut off twelve acres of wood land to the upper tract and by that line to the County Road. The upper portion of this land I give to my daughter Eliza S. Nuckols and her heirs and the lower portion of this land I give to my son Hardin and his heirs. My son Hardin and his heirs and assigns are at all future times to have the privilege to enter upon the upper tract in who soever hands it may be, and to take thereon in a reasonable manner the necessary earth and to maintain and repair the said canal and also to use and enjoy the road through the same as now used by me.
I give to my Granddaughter Louisa Ann Nuckols, five hundred dollars to be paid as soon as it can be collected out of the sale of my perishable property. All the rest and residue of my estate kind ???? is to be divided in the following manner, one half I give to my son Hardin, one fifth I give to my Grandson Benjamin F. Cocke and the remainder I give to my daughter Eliza S. Nuckols. The Negro must not be sold and I enjoin it on my family hereafter to respect my feelings in this matter as far as possible. I wish my Negro divided by families if possible. I wish my old man Charles to go to my son Hardin with the mill. My brother Joseph and my friends George W. Doswell and Charles W. Dabney I wish to appraise and divide my Negro and I wish the lots of the Negro to be made equal if necessary out of the money and perishable property. I appoint my son Hardin executor of my will and desire that he may not be required to give security and wish that there may be no appraisment of my estate. In testimony of all which I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this 21st day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty six.

Sept. The 14th 1881
This is my last will revoking all others I have heretofore made. After my death I wish my son William B. Cocke, or his heirs to have five hundred dollars of my estate. It will not make him equal with Julian in what came by me, because Julian had all of Andys part of the land. Ben had a third part before Andy was killed, and all that mother left me went into Julians hands but I wish him to have the most because he has taken care of me and been very kind, I therefore wish him to have everything else I have to do with it, just as he pleases, as long as he lives. After his death, I want it equally divided between his four children, Clarence P, Mary O, Willie A and Ada B. Nuckols. Should Bell be the longest liver I wish her to remain here and have the full management of everything just as she does now, so long as she remains
Julians widow. Should the land be divided, I wish her to remain with the child that has the house tract, and to be well provided for, so long as she remains Julians widow. Should she marry again, it will then all be the childrens, this is my wish.

[NI00210] The home on Vontay Rd. in Hanover County that I took a picture of in the spring of 1999 and scanned and sent to some of my Nuckols relatives and friends was not the home of Harden Duke Nuckols as I had thought. When I was there last year and stopped at the house there was no one home, I inquired at the house just west of it and was told that Hardin's house was next door. I just returned from another visit to the area and stopped at what I thought was Harden's house and the man living there said the house was built about fifty years ago and he had owned it for twenty some years. He said that Harden Duke Nuckols place was two driveways east of his place. My sister-in-law Carrol and I went there and met Frances Nuckols, the wife of George Henry Nuckols. Frances confirmed that was where Harden's house had been and the property had passed on down to Pettus H. Nuckols and now belongs to her husband, the Grandson of Pettus H. Nuckols. We saw the fenced in cemetery plot out back with tombstones and one large cement tomb. The plot is overgrown with poison ivy so we were unable to photograph any names.

Harden Duke Nuckols is buried in an above ground vault in back of the house that his great grandson George Henry Nuckols lives in on Vontay Road. If you are traveling west on Pouncy Tract Road and shortly after Pouncy Tract Rd. becomes Vontay Rd. you will see George Henry Nuckols house on the right as the road heads up a slight hill. It is just a little farther to my Aunt Myrtle's house (Springfield Farm) which is on the left hand side of Vontay Rd. and across the road on the right in the woods is the burial site of Reuben Julian Nuckols, Clarence P. Nuckols, Olivia Nuckols and a few others

Family Bible in Virginia State Archives, Account Number 23825 appears to be written by Cecelia Bootwright, wife of Oswald NUCKOLS. "Died on the 7th of January early in night--our Beloved Father & Father in law, Rev. Hardin Duke NUCKOLS after a lingering illness in the 81st year of his age, his
remains were placed at his desire at his home Ridge Hill, Hanover Co. VA where he died on the South Anna River." I had heard that Oswald lived in Hardin's house. There was some kind of mess in settling the estate with Harden's second wife Frances Duvall. It appeared that Frances was not involved in his last illness and daughter-in-law was caretaker.

On one of the children I have a note 'page 5.' Have no idea of what that is! As I recall there are at least six documents donated by the Nuckols families to the Virginia Library.

I now FEEL that Betty is the child of William's first marriage and a full sister to Thomas. There are several small things that lead me to fell this way. She just does not fit in with Pouncey and to other boys. Notice that she and her husband William Childress receive land earlier...William appears as a land owner in the deeds William made to the other kids.

In the name of God Amen, I, William NUCKOLS Senr of the County of Goochland, being weak of body, but of a sound mind and disposing memory, thanks be to God do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament.

First: I commend my soul to God, and my body to be decently buried. My will and desire is that all my just debts and funeral expenses be paid.

Item: I give and bequeath to my son Benjamin NUCKOLS the land where on I now live, he paying into my Estate two hundred and fifty dollars to be distributed as hereafter mentioned, to him and his heirs forever, and whereas I am owing my son Benjamin money for services rendered, my desire is that no interest be paid on the same owing. I have furnished him from time to time with working apparel, which I conceive to be condensation for the interest of said money.

Item: I give and bequeath to my two single daughters, Frankey [Frances] and Patsey [Martha] Mourning NUCKOLS to each of them twenty dollars annually during their single life, also one bed and furniture to each of them.

I give to my grandson, Thomas NUCKOLS, twenty dollars and one bed and furniture to him and his heirs forever.

My will and desire is that my two single daughters before mentioned and my Grandson Thomas NUCKOLS and my son-in-law Nelson Sanders [wife Mary] be made each of them equal in value to either of my daughters [Elizabeth] Cocke, [Jane] Ellis, in respect to the Negroes I give them. The balance of my estate I desire to be equally divided between my two single daughters before mentioned and my daughter Ellis and Daughter Cocke and my grandson Thomas NUCKOLS and my son-in-law Nelson Sanders to them and their heirs forever.

Item: I give my friend, Reuben Ford [minister of the Goochland Baptist Church,] twenty Dollars (carried on,) me daughters who married [Miss] Vaughan and my two sons John and William NUCKOLS. I have heretofore given them their portions and have now so divided the estate, I now posses, as to make them all as nearly equal as I well can having a due respect for all my children.

Lastly, I appoint my son Benjamin NUCKOLS and my son-in-law Ben Cocke executors of this my last will and testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 30th day of January, 1814.

Comment by Dori Dell: [Brackets ] have been used for clarification and are not part of the original will. The daughter who married Vaughn will be carried as Miss Nuckols until she can be identified. Consider that the grandson Thomas may be the Thomas being carried as a son. The Thomas NUCKOLS in Barren County, Kentucky may be this person. Recall Pouncey JR. married Martha Pasty Mourning Nuckols who died before he migrated to Kentucky.

Teste. VAL Wood Cl Cur

Note by transcriber. The name William Childers is written as spelled in the deed, this is believed to refer to the William Childress, son-in-law of William Nuckolls. Some of the sons of William dropped one of the "L"s in the surname and you can see the recorder did get confused as two other sons witnessed this deed of the father.

(In the sentence in which the granting of the land of William Nuckolls to his son Charles is described as: have given, granted, bargain, alien, etc. I transcribed the word "enfoeff" as enforce. That is incorrect, the word is exactly as it was spelled "enfoeff" and in The Random House Dictionary of the English Language, The Unabridged Edition, copyright 1967 the definitions are given as "1) to invest with a freehold estate in land, and 2) to give as a fief". )


Doris Dell's "working hypothesis."

1) Charles the son of William is b. abt 1753, brother to Pouncy Sr., William Knight, Samuel and half brother Thomas. The children of the brothers and their lines are well known as are the grandchildren (Joseph, son of Pouncy Sr. was the last holdout!) tho' the grandchildren are mostly born too late
anyway to be of consideration here. He marries Mary Hicks in 1775 Later, after 1800 he marries Frances Ann Jordan.

2) Obediah is b. 1776, perfect timing for the marriage with Hicks listed above. He marries Eliz. Willis in 1801 in Goochland Co.

3) Nelson is b. 1783 and marries Polly Reddy in 1811. He is surety to Overton (his brother?) and Nathaniel (son of Samuel).

4) Overton b.? marries Agnes Going also in 1811 within 2 months of Nelson's marriage. He is surety to Thomas (son of William Knight) and Nancy Nuckols (Dau. of Samuel, sister to Nathaniel). Overton is a coomon surname opf this area in Virginia into which the Nuckols familiy married.

5) Also, there is the connection with the Childress family. Jonathon, son of Samuel marries Elizabeth Childress, Daughter of William. Benjamin, son of William Knight marries Eliz. Toler. The surety is Spotswood Childress who is also surety for Obediah when he marries. The witness for the marriage of John (son of William Knight) and Elizabeth Nuckols is Richard Childress. Again, Obediah is right there with the rest of this family.

6) There is room here for female children who we know nothing about as well as other males. Despite high infant mortality everywhere most of the Nuckols children tended to live into adulthood.

7)Nelson and Obediah served in the War of 1812, Obediah with at least two other Nuckols of his generation and grandchildren of William the Patriot.

8) All of this is occurring in Goochland Co., the stronghold of the 1L Nuckols until early in the 19th century when they all get married and begin to migrate to all parts of the country and many to KY.

I've gone back over the children of William the Patriot and find no one else to place these children with except Charles. If William had another son I think we would know as his history is well known from land records and his will as well as other documents signed between or witnessed by his sons. I don't believe that Nelson, Overton or Obediah are 2Ls as their connection is too close to William and his descendents physically and otherwise and the 2 branches of the family had little contact with each other in those days anyway

Is this Charles?

Information found in Washington on the service record of William Nuckols, the Patriot, is that he furnished beef and other supplies for the Continental Army. The reference for proof was given as "Goochland County, (VA) Commissioner's Book III, PSC 65-1431". In DAR lingo this is called Patriotic Service rather than Military Service, but is acceptable for membership.

John Woolams (my direct ancestor) assigned a "Revolutionary Publick Claim" to William Nuckolds "for gun for publick" for one pound ten in Louisa County, Virginia. John Woolams lived in the Goochland, Louisa and Hanover Counties area. His descendants migrated to the Knox/Owen County area of Kentucky in the 1780's or 1790's. A related family I have found from Virginia is "Cawley" also spelled "Colley." (From Darrell Woolums woolums@smsjslaw.com)

He was an early Virginia Baptist. His brothers and half-brothers conformed to the Church of England which eventually became the Episcopal Church. We have suggested that William wanted to distinguish his children from their conforming cousins by using the NUCKOLS spelling. He did use the 2LL spelling on legal documents but the children seem to have been consistent in their use of the one L.

Note by transcriber. The name William Childers is written as spelled in the deed, this is believed to refer to the William Childress, son-in-law of William Nuckolls. Some of the sons of William dropped one of the "L"s in the surname and you can see the recorder did get confused as two other sons witnessed this deed of the father.

The Goochland Baptist Church was well attended by the family of William Nuckols b 1710 the Patriot. We have seen deeds that mention the Meeting House in their plots...one I recall is William's deed to his son Charles.
A member of the congregation told me this little story. One Sunday the pulpit was filled by a visiting minister who gave an inspiring talk. At the end he said, Now I would like to ask Brother Nuckols to lead us in prayer. Without hesitation 15 men stood ready to be of service.
The Goochland Baptist Church is a lively and prosperous place that was known for many years as the Nuckols Meeting House.
by Doris Dell

William was responsible for dropping one "L" in order to distinguish himself and descendants from cousins he "left behind" when converting from Church of England to Baptists.

I belive you would call this enough STRONG circumstancial evidence to support the identity of this family

Now Doris, I have a proposal and a question for you.....We have in our book that William A is the son of William Nuckols and Mariah Sharp, but they were not married until 1819. William is 31 in the 1850 census making him born around 1819. In 1860 William gives his age as 45 making him born about 1814-15. In the 1830 and 1840 census, John has a brother close to the same age. He appears in all of the census, but then does not appear in the 1850, but NEXT DOOR to Elizabeth. Dont you think he could be her son? What "Source Evidence" do you have to support that William A Nuckols is the son of William and mariah Sharpe Nuckols?

[NI00231] Source: "Hobson's Chapel, 18th - Early Century Settlement Along Branches of Deep Creek, Cumberland-Powhatan Counties, Virginia" by Agnes Evans Gish, Dietz Press, Richmond VA, 1997

I enjoyed this book in that there are details reference the early life of those who lived in early Virginia. The families who lived in these settlements named above, were connected to the Childress family through many of the earliest settlers. Some of whom are listed in this book were: Theodrick Carter P91. The Carter family connected to the Hobson's thru several or more lines and by marriage. Those listed for Carter were: Theodrick Carter (named above), Jesse, Thomas, Winneford Hobson Carter, and
the town named Cartersville.

There was interaction between the Hobsons of this place and the Childress (Childrefs) family as seen by deeds, marriages and other original records.

Cumberland County, VA in the earliest times reports families of whom we have seen records (later) in NC and TN. Those were: P.79, "1756 On the 19th of April, 1756, the following boundary lines were recorded: John Robertson, Samuel Nuckols, Field Robertson, Richard Murrey, Edward Robertson, John Burton, John Hobson (Hopson), William Hobson (Hopson)., Christopher Robertson, Nicholas Cox, John Pleasants, Frederick Hatcher" (And many other earlier settlers) from "Southam Parish Vestry"

Page 79, "1769, John Hobson of Cumberland County conveyed to Thos Childrefs (Childrey/Childres) of Henrico County, 100 acres whereon "the late John Hobson the Father to him who is party to these presents lived." HCD & W (1767-1772) Pt 1 & 2:131. Witnessed by Alexander Ferguson, David Crompton
and Rachael (mark) Coward, Recorded April 3, 1769.(NOTE: this John Hobson was the descendant of William Hobson who left a 1733 Henrico Co, VA WILL naming his daughter Elizabeth who married William Childres or Childress. William and Elizabeth had son Thomas and son William. Further records
indicate a possible daugh named Margrett and possible third son)

The Hobsons of Halifax County, VA intermarried with the Childress family of the same place. Both owning land in several counties as follows:

Halifax County VA 1782, Heads of Household:
Childress, Abraham, 10 whites
Childress, Suzanna, 5
Childress, Nicholas, 8
Other families in this area connected to the Childress'es thru marriage, deeds and other legal records were recorded in this Halifax Census as follows:

Wilkerson, Wm
Vaughn, Drury
Seat, Robert
White, Charles
Pettypool, Charles
Hobson (Hopson), William
Estes, Moses
Estes, Moses, Sr

NOTE: All of the above families married into the Childress'es of this area. Also spreading into other counties of VA. The Estes family of VA had several or more connections to the Childress family. Robert Childress married Rachel Estes of whom this branch left many descendants.

I, S. H. F.

The writing was faded and a few names could not be deciphered. Every effort was made to transcribe the names as they appeared on the manuscripts.

[NI00235] Notes from Fredwyin Schwendeman 2/2006 fredwyn2@juno.com
I don't know anything further about their descendants, but he was (1)the brother of Obediah Powell of Amherst Co, VA, (2) the uncle of Samuel Powell of Kentucky about whom we just wrote the PIONEER PROFILES book, and (3) the son of John Powell, Jr, and Elizabeth Guthery.

Obediah Powell was murdered when Samuel was 12 years old, and we lost track of the family for a few years after that. We know from a family Bible that Obediah Powell's Samuel is the one that came to Kentucky, and there are records which indicate he is probably the Samuel Powell who spent his teenage years in Tennessee. While living in Tennessee there are several legal records of a young Samuel POWEL and an older Samuel Powel who appeared to be a judge. That is all I know about "other" Samuel Powells.

S. V. NUCKOLS was born in Scott County, Ky., in 1839. His father, Lewis Nuckols, was also a native of Scott County. His mother, whose maiden name was Watkins, was a relative of Henry Clay's mother. Our subject is the youngest of five children; has always followed farming except for five years, when he engaged in banking and merchandising. During the civil war he served in Morgan's cavalry, and was detained a prisoner twenty-two months in Federal prisons. In 1866 he moved to Shelby County, where he has one of the finest and nicest places in the county, containing 186 acres of land. In 1868 he married Martha R. Thomas, daughter of Morris Thomas, of Shelby County, a pioneer of that county, who came from Harrodsburg, when only three years old, in 1799. Mr. Thomas first engaged in farming, then
in the hide and tallow business in Shelbyville, and in 1819 moved to Louisville, which was than a small place. He engaged extensively in pork packing, shipping South, and became quite wealthy, owning land in Iowa, Illinois and Indiana, and continued the business until 1845; was also the first importer of Shorthorn cattle and dealt extensively in mules. He next engaged in the manufacture of soap and candles, and lost heavily but managed to save his land. He died in 1870. Mrs. Nuckols was born in
1840; she is the second of a family of nine children, the youngest being Morris, the only brother now living. She is a member of the Episcopal Church and has been for twenty-two years. To Mr. and Mrs. Nuckols have been born four children: Mattie T., Sam V., Morris T. and Jane W. Mrs. Nuckols' grandmother was a sister of Gen. Pogue, of Virginia.

Acquired Land on the Little River, then in St Paul's Parish, later in St. Martin's Parish, still later in Frederickville Parish, still later in Trinity Parish, all because of shifting parish boundaries, not by changing of residence. Shifting county boundaries also put his property eventually in Louisa Co.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[NOTE BY COMPILER: Although it is uncertain under what circumstances these court proceedings and legal actions were taken - the records show the proceeds being distributed in eight equal parts among eight children of Richard and Mary Yancey - or in those cases where the child was deceased - among the grandchildren of Richard and Mary. This is one of the few documents that pretty much proves that Richard had eight children who lived to adulthood and left children and also lists those grandchildren living (in 1810) that descend from four of his deceased children: Keziah, Lewis, Richard Jr. & Charles. At least two other of Richard's children: Joseph & Hezekiah Yancey had died prior to this date without leaving any descendants.

[NI00695] Richard and Temperance came to Tenn in 1792. This on his tombstone, which also shows where he was born and that he was a baptist. He was a veteran of the Rev War having enlisted at the age of 16 and served for 3month periods until end of the war. He was at the surrender of Cornwallis, War service record found in Washington DC. DC.S file No 4627 Vol 192, file S4627 record group 15a. He was granted a pension of $63.33 per annum. With him to Tenn came his bro-in-law, Martin Walton, who was also in the Rev War in the same outfit, both from Louisa Co, VA. They came to Robertson Co, TN and when the town of Springfield was laid off, Richard Nuckolls bought some of the first lots sold. The will of Richard is recorded in Will Book # 8 page 85, Robertson Co, Courthouse. The tombstones of Richard and wife Temperance can be found on what is the Old Nuckolls farm, four miles out from Springfield, Rt # 3. The farm has been sold and resold and divided into several small farms. The old graveyard was in a 20 acre plot in the middle of the farm. This plot is now part of the Henry Choate farm. Most of the tombstones have been carted off and used for all sort of purposes, even to building the foundations to a bridge across the creek. Mr. Choate retrieved the tombstones of Richard and Temperance and placed them in their original places - the foot markers are still there. They are the only ones left in the graveyard. They are of marble and each broken in half, but the lettering on them still plain.

Burial info:
Richard and Temperance Nuckolls graves. They are on private property with a locked gate. The people keep horses in the pasture where the graves are at. My mother is standing between their graves since their stones have since been broken by the horses. The owner had lived on the land for 7 years and did not know where both graves. When I found where they should be at, I uncovered his since his was broken at the time and her's was not. The owner told me that we could put up a fence around the sites to protect them. Since that time, her's has been broken. :(. There appear to be at least 5 graves there. The other 3 are just small stones. There are enough of us descendants from these 2 people that if each of us could just put $1 into a fund to protect these graves and repair their markers. He could be given a veterans marker since he was a veteran of the American Revolutionary War. I have the paper work, but need to submit the facts. We would need at least 100 feet of chain link fence and a gate. My mother has 50 feet now for our using. I also have other pictures before her's got broken and before his got worse than what it is now. Jerry Stout

[NI00720] Goodspeeds History of Tennessee, Hardeman County 1887
John W. Nuckolls, M.D., a well known physician and extensive planter, a resident of Toone, Hardeman Co., Tenn., is a native of the county where he resides, born December 7, 1840, the fourth of nine children, eight now living, born to Starling and Narcissa (Whitaker) Nuckolls. The father was of Welsh descent, born in Virginia in 1784, but when a child came to Tennessee and settled in Robertson County. He was engaged in farming and the milling business and was a prominent man of his day. He died in 1860. It is thought the mother was a native of Lincoln County, Tenn. She was much younger than her husband and died in Hardeman County in 1876. John W. in the fall of 1861 entered the Confederate States Army and joined what was known as Capt. J. J. Neely’s company of cavalry and was received in Forrest’s command. He served two years under him but was captured in December, 1863, and was held as a prisoner of war several weeks in Bolivar, but was finally released upon taking the oath of allegiance. December 5, 1867, he married Miss Fannie R. Anderson, daughter of Edward Anderson, of Hardeman County. She was born in 1845, and they are the parents of eight children, six now living. Immediately after his marriage he began the study of medicine, and in 1870-71 attended the Medical College of Nashville, after which he returned home and began practicing in connection with Dr. J. R. Anderson establishing a drug store at the same time. Dr. Nuckolls dissolved partnership with Dr. Anderson after two years’ connection. He now owns a fine residence in Toone valued at $5,000, besides 4,000 acres of land in Hardeman and Madison Counties. Dr. Nuckolls is a Democrat in politics and his religious views are in sympathy with the Missionary Baptist Church.

Note from Karen KRai3@aol.com
Dr. J. R. Anderson, with whom Dr. John W Nuckolls partnered in 1871, was John R Anderson, a brother of Frances R. Even though the bio says the partnership was dissolved after two years, the firm was still in business as Anderson and Nuckolls in 1895 Hardeman Co, paying fees to the court for licensing.

You will please to send her up immediately with her clothes. Though your bargain was not with my knowledge, yet I have no objection to its standing and the equitable proportion for there hands must be better than for four hands as the chance of ground is much better as that is can't injure you and I am sure is more to the interest of my brother's estate. You will please to inform Little Charley Col. Nelson is like to employ him if we can agree when I see him which will be at court. I must further request the favor of you to make payment of your bonds in money or property as I am sued for a considerable sum and hardly threatened by others.

The deed was dated October 12, 1744. (This is assumed to be from James II to James III). This was near a place called Charles Nuckolls Corner, which was his brother's place. His wife's father, William Henderson, also granted him 200 acres of land, which appears to be a gift.

[NI00737] Murdered by Tories for his devotion to liberty, Dec 11, 1780 buried on Whig Hill SC He and his son had travelled to McKown's Mill and while his son slept, he was murdered.

In 1767, John Nuckolls, Sr, bade farewell to his Virginia home, put wife, children, and all their belongings on horses and turned their faces toward Carolina. Arriving at Kings Mountain they ascended to the summit of that noted peak, and made a cup of tea. The cups, saucers, and spoons used are now in possession of Samuel Littlejohn, Jonesville, S. C., who is a great-grandson. While here at Kings Mt. their daughter Susan was born, who afterward married Charles Littlejohn. As soon as circumstances would permit the journey was continued until Whig Hill was reached, where a halt and settlement was made. The famous white rose was brought along and we suspect that not many days elapsed until it was planted where it was destined to grow for three quarters of a century. It grew at different places until the time of the civil war, when it became extinct, (at least in South Carolina, but is still believed to be growing in Virginia). Whenever a member of the Nuckolls Family went out to build a home for themselves, scion or cutting was taken from this rose bush and with the most scrupulous care it was planted and cultivated as a precious heirloom of ancestry.
John Nuckolls Sr was Commissioner of Election in 1776; The natural inference is that as rapidly as conditions would allow, comfortable buildings were erected, the forest felled, and converted into fruitful fields. In a short time, considerable property was accumulated, including several negros. Thus by indomitable energy and industry, John Nuckolls was making his Carolina domain more and more productive and beautiful, when the storm of the American Revolution burst upon the country.
Though of English descent, John at once threw himself wholly intothe cause of Independence; in fact he became such an unflinching and uncompromising Whig, that the hill on which he lived was called Whig Hill.
Whether the name was given by friend or foe, we know not, but be that asit may, it was a compliment that lives to this day. As to the battles he was in and the service he rendered, unfortunately, we know nothing; but we feel safe in saying that whenever and wherever, duty demanded it, John Nuckolls was equal to the occasion.
The greatest suffering inflicted on the Whig settlement was by thieving Tories, with which the country was infested. One of these gangs, commanded by Patrick Moore, made their headquarters at Fort Anderson, or Thickety Fort,on Goucher Creek. Another was down on the Enoree. From these points, they would sally out and seize what they wanted to carry off, and destroy the balance. Whig Hill was not immune to these depredations.
A number of these raids were made, but perhaps the most noted one was made in 1780. They made a clean sweep. The only bed left for the youngest child was a sheep-skin used for a saddle blanket. It was, probably at this time when they were shooting stock, breaking up furniture, and ripping open feather, that Mrs. Nuckolls, woman-like, began tongue lashing them. One of the dastardly scoundrels struck at her head with a sabre, and throwing up her arm to ward off the blow, received a wound, which left a scar that she carried to her grave. On another occasion the raiders came and "Aunt Agathy", an old colored slave, grabbed the axe, and placing herself behind the front door, threatened to kill the first one who tried to enter. Not one of the contemptible cowards made the effort. It is said that there is a bond between the descendants of Mrs. Nuckolls and those of "Aunt Agathy" that grows as the years go by.
Owing to the nature of the service in upper Carolina, the patriot soldiers could get off and visit their homes until necessity arose when they would come together again at some appointed place. Early in December, 1780, John Nuckolls thus visited his home at Whig Hill. Finding the meal tub empty, he,in company with his little son, John, went to McKown's mill on Broad River at, or near the Ninety-nine Islands. It is said that in those days, millers provided a room, either in the mill, or in their own house, to accommodate customers when they were detained over night. McKown was a Tory, and being acquainted with Nuckolls, saw his opportunity. Pretending that he could not grind for him until the next day, with apparent kindness, he gave him the room for a lodging place.
Night coming on, McKown went out and gathered a band of his ilk, and they came to the room where Nuckolls was quietly sleeping. Arousing him, they said, "We've come for you." He knew what that meant. he asked permission to awake his son, so he could give some messages for his people at home. They refused and said that if he awoke him, they would kill him also. They took Nuckolls a short distance from the mill, and prepared to shoot him. He asked that they would give him five minutes in which to pray. This was granted, and he prayed aloud. After he had uttered a few petitions, a villain by the name of Davis said: "If he continues praying that way much longer we will not be able to kill him," and fired a ball through his head. The body was thrown into a hole where a tree had blown up and some brush was placed over it.
Some months afterwards, an old woman in the neighborhood found his bones. They were gathered up by his family and taken to Whig Hill and buried, The grave is encased in hewn granite slabs three feet high, and is entirely covered with a marble slab, three feet by six. The slab contains the following inscription: 'In memory of John Nuckolls, Sr., who was murdered by the Tories for his devotion to liberty, the 11th day of December, 1780, in the 49th year of his age. Rest noble patriot, Rest in peace The prize you sought Your county won'
Some years later, a speech was delivered on Whig Hill, saying something like this; 'After all, who would not covet such a death? Dying for the cause of liberty; dying addressing the Creator in such pathetic tones as to touch the feelings of a heartless murderer. O, John Nuckolls, dost thy sainted spirit hover about us? Noble husband, father, hero, martyr; we have assembled on this place of thine earthly habitation to honor thee,' etc.
Not many months after Nuckolls' death, Davis, his murderer, with some others, were lurking in Thickety bottoms, near Whig Hill, where they were secreting plundered booty, consisting of cattle, horses, valuables, etc. Some alert Whigs caught them and to Davis and a few others, their just deserts were soon meted out to them. Going to the house of Mrs. Nuckolls, the Whigs asked for pick and shovel, saying that they were going to settle her some new neighbors. She said she "hoped they would be good neighbors." They told her that they "would guarantee them to be quiet ones." Davis reaped what he sowed. He deliberately shot Nuckolls and soon after was shot in the like manner, and both are buried near the same spot.
John Nuckolls has been described as a martyr to the cause of American Freedom. He was of dark complexion and very curly hair, and is said to have had an unusually large skull."

These records are from Pioneer Settlers of Grayson County, Virginia, by Rev. B. F. Nuckolls, I9I4, Galax, Virginia; and History of Grindal Shoals , by Rev. J. D. Bailey, I92I, Coupens, South Carolina.

NUCKOLS Land grants before the Revolution.

(#2) John NUCKOLS, 289a & 211a on Pacolet River in 96 Dist. S.C. 28 June 1774.
" , 300a on Pacolet River in 96 Dist. SC 23 June 1774.
" , 400a on Thicketty Creek, Craven Co. SC 23 June 1774.
This 400 was a renewal of a former grant in NC.

(#3) John NUCKOLLS, after the Revolution (son of John Sr.) had a grant of 136 a on Thicketty Creek 4 July 1785.

(#4) Council Journal dated 6 April 1773.....James NUCKLOR appears and asks for a land grant of 800a of land, being a married man with 13 dependants.

(#4a) Now whether all of these were his children, I am unable to state. I do know at the time, land was allowed according to the size of the family and 100a for the husband, 50a for the wife and 50a more for each dependent child or other persons residing in the house......also often a man received extra land in payment for some service to the Crown..I have data that John NUCKOLLS was a Justice of the Peace and some of the land may not have been for dependents but as payment for service.

(#4b) James NUCKLOR is evidently a mistake and an error in the Council Journal...Each plat for John NUCKOLS refers to his asking for a grant of 800a on 6 April 1773....I have checked every entry in the Council Journal for that date and the dates preceding and after and James NUCKLOR is the only semblance to the name and it was for 800a, hence I decided the clerk in making the entry made an error.
(professional researcher notes)

(#5) John NUCKOLS, a plat for 289a of land surveyed by James WOFFORD 20th day of April 1773 according to a warrant for 800a of land made to John NUCKOLS in the Council and this was all the free land to be found here and surveyed 289a on Mitchell Creek of the Fairforest on a line said to be the NC line and adjacent to the land of William PLUMMER.

(#5a) John NUCKOLS, a plat for 211a land surveyed 23rd April 1773 by James WOFFORD upon a warrant for 800a issued to John NUCKOLS by Council dated 6 April 1873 and his being all the vacant land to be found here, 211a on south Pacolet River adjacent to the land of Martin Fifer, John Lyon, & David McDowell...said plat delivered to Richard Langston.

(#5b) John NUCKOLLS a plat for 300a surveyed by James WOFFORD 23 May 1773 and all sides by vacant land and on north side of pacolet River below the Doctor's Bottom...same plats above about warrant etc.

(#6) John NUCKOLS made in Charleston SC on 28th Nov. 1774 a Tax return on all these three grants of land in #5, 5a & 5b....Book 13 pg. 128

(#6a) John NUCKOLLS Book 13, page 484 a memorial tax return on 400a of land on Thicketty Creek and granted to him 28 April 1768 by William TRYON, the Governor of NC and surveyed by Zachariah BULLOCK and adjacent to the lands of Stephen JONES and David ROBERTSON....But now that the state line between NC & SC had been run, this 400a of land was found to be in SC...Tax return made by John NUCKOLS in person in Charleston 10 July 1775.

It seems that John NUCKOLLS decided to have Zachariah BULLOCK, run this land a second time and took a new grant from SC for the 400a ....in the Tax return stated...Plat delivered 10 July 1775 and run by Zachariah BULLOCK 17 May 1775 and run by Zachariah BULLOCK 17 May 1775 for the grant for 400a, 9 Nov. 1774.

(#7) This land grant in what was supposed to have been NC in 1768 definitely places the time when John NUCKOLLS came to SC.

(8*) The Plat and grant in (#3) was to son of John NUCKOLLS Sr.

(#9) John NUCKOLLS signed some papers as J.P. before 1780 which places him as a Justice of the Peach...I checked to find when he received his commission as Justice of the Peace but did not find it....This service as a J.P. before 1780 gives Colonial Dames service and membership.

(#10) SC Council Journal of the General Assembly dated 24 Sept. 1776...I quote in part..."Commissioners (Election..Andrea) for the Spartan or upper district my be absent at the time election. It is recommended that Lt. Col. WOFFORD and Mr. John NUCCOLS be added to the same."

(#11) John NUCKOLLS was elected to the General Assembly (I was unable to find the reference and location of the data) which was to meet at Jacksonboro during the Revolution and in 1782. He was elected from the Spartan District...The Tories killed John NUCKOLLS' before he could take his seat.

The Village of Fredericks Hall
Contributed by Claudia A. Chisholm

Another home, the COSBY HOUSE along with its owners and residents, is noteworthy in the continuing narration regarding the Village of Fredericks Hall. This property is located in an area known as Cedar Hill, off Route 656, in a rather remote section between Fredericks Hall and Cuckoo. The dwelling house has been uninhabited for some time, therefore the overall panorama appears unkept. Within view of the dwelling house is a lone chimney which is reported to have been a part of a slave cabin. The overgrown cemetery is the only other reminder of some of the people who resided there. Quaint in design by today's standards, there are indications the frame story-and-a half house was built some time in the early 1800's. Upon visiting the COSBY HOUSE in 1979, this researcher noted the dwelling house in relatively good condition; however, the circumstances are quite different today. As one approached the property, an eye-catching feature of the old home was the large stepped twin chimneys which embraced most of the north end of the house. A single and less noticeable chimney was on the southern exposure. Apparently the COSBY HOUSE was modernized during the 1900's. Dormer windows are believed to have been removed when the roof was replaced. The front porch shows evidence of change in style and size. A small addition appears to have added to accommodate for modem conveniences.
In reviewing the records of earlier years, we find once again a parcel of land being owned by a descendant of the original Harris family of Fredericks Hall. In 1817, Frederick Harris, Jr., sold to Thomas Nuckolls 249 acres on the south fork of Little River,, )'After purchasing the property, Thomas Nuckolls allowed his son, James Duke Nuckolls, to take up residence on the land without benefit of title. Shortly before his death in the mid 1820's, Thomas Nuckolls conveyed the COSBY HOUSE property to his son. The deed in part reads..."on which he the said James D. Nuckolls at present resides lying on the south fork of Little River"(2)This would certainly indicate a dwelling house either before 1817 or shortly thereafter. Thomas Nuckolls was a man of considerable means. He married Ann Terry, daughter of James and Henrietta Terry on March 4, 1785. Thomas Nuckolls died without a will; therefore, the following children are recorded in unpublished family papers. The oldest son, James Duke Nuckolls, was born February 26, 1886 of whom there will be additional comments later. Other children were: George Byars Nuckolls who married October 1, 1828, Myra R. Boxley, daughter of Pallison and Susanna Dickinson Boxley; Mary Nuckolls, believed to have been unmarried; Stephen Terry Nuckolls who married November 16, 1827, Maria Trice, daughter of Anderson and Martha Sandidge Trice; Alexander married November 17, 1817 Ann Burruss; Samuel; Nathaniel; Lucinda married John Burruss Oct. 6, 1817; Nancy; Jane who married Richard Harris

Adrian's Addition to this article!
[ As you all know, I found marriage record of Nancy to Joseph Harris January 03, 1805]

Robert S. Cosby married Frances A. Hughes in 1821. Her parents were Charles and Polly Hughes and her grandmother was Elizabeth Terrell, all of Hanover County, Virginia. In 1825 Charles Hughes gave his daughter two slaves, Maria and Hannah. There are a number of letters written by Frances Hughes
Cosby's family in the archives of the Louisa County Historical Society Museum. These documents tell of the state of affairs within the Hughes family as well as happenings in the areas in which they lived.

Robert S. Cosby was the son of Duke Cosby and Amelia Harris. (Amelia Harris was the daughter of Robert Harris and Mezpina Walton who are believed to have inherited a part of the Grand Patent at Fredericks Hall of William Harris, Jr. in 1725). In the Louisa Museum there are documents and letters
pertaining to the business and personal life of Robert S. Cosby and the Cosby family. There are a number of interesting letters written from Robert's brothers, Austin M. and Charles Rufus Cosby from various locations, mostly from the state of Georgia Robert Cosby, like his father Duke Cosby, was a farmer and tavern keeper. Louisa records show that Duke Cosby operated a Tavern from 1807 to his death around 1819. In his will and the division of his estate, there is no mention of a Tavern; however, he left his home place and all adjoining parcels to his wife, Amelia D. Cosby. The records show Duke Cosby's license ceased in 1819; at which time Robert S. began applying for a license. In the late 1830's, the licenses were issued to both Robert S. and Amelia D. Cosby. After 1842 and the death of Amelia D., the license was issued to only Robert S. "...in his house for private entertainment."10
Whether the Cosby's made their own beer for dispersion in the Tavern is not known; however, the following recipe was found among the family papers:

11 To Make 15 Galls of Beer
2 114 Galls. good molasses
112 Bushel wheat Brans, to be clean sifted
1 peck Hops
The above to be all well mixed with 18 gals. water and boiled about two hours and when milk warm, add about 1 1/2 coffee cups of yeast. Let the cask be filled quite full-as soon as it works and the foam falls, let it be well-stopped and it will be fit for use in eight days and not sooner. If the molasses is not very good it will not be amiss to add I qt. more. I forgot to mention that after boiling it is to be strained- The yeast is to be put into the cask before the Beer is put in."

In 1856, it was ordered that "Alfred M. Goodwin, Oscar Herring, George Gardner, Atwood Wash and William G. Barrett five freeholders of this county are hereby appointed Commissioners (any two or more whom being first duly sworn may act) to supentend (sic) the general Election of County and District Officers of the County of Louisa at Cosby's Tavern a place of voting in the 5th District of this County on the 4th Thursday of the present month May 1856 (being 22 day May.) Nelson Lipscomb is appointed the Officer to conduct the election at Cosby's Tavern as being a voting place until 1860." The records of Louisa County for 1861 to 1867 appear to be missing; therefore, we do not know how long the Tavern was a voting place.

Three known children were born at the COSBY HOUSE to Robert S. and Frances H. Cosby. Their son, Charles T., married Sarah H. Hancock and they appear to have lived on Rock Creek for a time. Mary Virginia, the only daughter, never married. In 1837, she attended school at the home of Joseph W.
Pendleton. He was paid $75 for her "board and tuition". The second son, Joseph T. Cosby, was also unmarried. This son lived at home with his parents for a time. In the fall of 1854 he moved to Chesterfield County to work at the Steam Saw Mill. He wrote the following letter in September to
his parents at Fredericks Hall.

"My Dear Father,
I take my pen this evening to write you and Mother a few lines but hardly know what to write. Your letter you wrote me by Andrew was very good but I received one by mail a few hours after that hurt me very much. Dear Pa and Ma did I not have your consent to go to F Hall to Live? & after that to come here? did I not suffer many hardships there? did I not suffer many here? and was I not sick and surrounded by Cholera here? Was I at anytime more than halfpaid by my rich masters? Have I not lived a single life long enough? did you not give me permission to court and I loved? and seek the welfare and happiness of us both? Could I be happy and-be unhappy? did I not want business of my own or at least such as would give me Sunday and a church to meet with? All this did not produce such a letter as this before me. Pa is perplexed and Ma is in tears! I wish I had been with you to have cried too, you think I am going to settle so far from you, it will be 100 miles. Pa says, you seem to have forgotten me and your best of Mothers. Dear Pa I may seem to be forgetful but cannot forget you and Ma. I have a great many more things to attend to now than when I lived with you and besides a great many real troubles. I will tell you some. I have spent very little money since I came here my trip to Hampton cost me $14. and what money I have now and what Mr Dunnington owes me will make only about $35. My clothes I ware every day have been so dirty that they are nearly all washed away and what are good are so stained with the chestnut saw dust that they are hardly fit to ware. I shall have to spend some of my money to get me some more. And Mr D. has not paid me and he may take his time for it for what I know. he did not come
down last Monday as he promised and when he will come is more than any one can tell. Andrew will want me in L next week and I shall want to be there myself but if Mr D. wishes to disappoint me again he can do it and what can I do. If I go to see you as I would gladly do my business would be put back a week later and I cannot ride on the Va.C.R.R. free now and would have come back to Richmond again rather than be killed in a stage going over the mountains. Besides all this I received a letter 4th from Hampton stating that the writer had given out an anticipated trip to Lynchburg so that stretches out 300 miles between us, but they were well. If Mr D. does not come b Saturday night I shall be in Louisa Sunday I think and If he does not pay me and my money gives out I will walk to L. and if times get too hard for merchants I can get $1.50 a day for hewing timber But Ma thinks that fanners are so much defendant on God that I ought to think of that and be one. I expect to feel my dependence on Him no matter where I go or what I do. A farmer does not always think of and feel his dependence on God as he should. I need only refer you to four of your nearest neighbors R.T. Bibb, E.T. Harris, N.W. Harris & M. Baker I shall now close for my paper is getting short by saying I remain your affectionate son.
Joseph T Cosby

By October of 1854 we find Joseph T. and Andrew (?) in Lynchburg, Virginia where they are operating a store. He tells about Lynchburg and the various railroad constructions taking place there. Then he relates what happened to him when he came to Louisa (11)..."I thought I had seen trouble but did not
see any till during some three weeks after I saw you last. My affairs in Louisa I thought obliged me to go there. If I got married and to return with a lady that was poor and what I might own have to be made over to somebody else pressed on my mind so that I almost went deranged. I wrote to the lady about some things I had heard about her which put her in the highest sort of a passion and she wrote to me denying the report and telling me to return or burn her letters and not to write to her again and in the future we must be as strangers. It was a task not hard to perform. I sent them to her with the request she would send mine to F. Hall if she mailed them, for I intended to have gone west before now, but cannot get my business right here yet and think it probable I shall not till Christmas. I do not know where I shall go yet but think I shall go to Arkansas though I may go back to Louisa. Concerning the ladies affairs it turns out that her mother left about $10,000 worth of property to her husband during his lifetime and the lady was to have her expenses paid from the income of that property and at the death of her husband (Mr. Nowland)the lady was to have it all."

Apparently the first wife of Charles Rufus Cosby, (brother of ?Robert S.) had died sometime prior to 1857. In a letter written the latter part of that year, Charles relates the following to Robert S. at Fredericks hall
"àhe had married last may most a year ago to Eizabeth Lester aged 34 in good health but I don't think I shall have to rock the cradle-only when some of my married daughters come to see me."

Robert S. Cosby took his Amnesty Oath on 15 May, 1865.(17) His will was written in 1868 and probated in 1880. He was survived by his wife, Frances and their three children. The COSBY HOUSE was left to his wife for life, then to his unmarried daughter, Mary Virginia Cosby. Robert S. Cosby had a spinster sister, Louisa B., who lived on a parcel of his land to which she was given life rights. After the death of Mary Virginia and Louisa B., the property was bequeathed to Joseph T. Cosby, brother of Mary Virginia.

In the early 1900's, Joseph T. conveyed all his personal and real property to his two nephews, Walter R. and Thomas H. Cosby. These were the sons of his brother, Charles T. Cosby. Walter never married and before his death his interest was deeded to his brother, Thomas Hancock Cosby.

Thomas Hancock Cosby married a widow, Minnie Maria Gentry Strong on September 23, 1933. She was the daughter of Abner C. and Bettie M. Davis Gentry. By her first marriage, to Nattie T. Strong, Minnie had the following children: Abner Eugene Strong who married Mary Brooks Shiflett; Clifton Morris who married Eva Butler; John who married Thelma Sprouse; McKinley who married twice, Juanita ? and Janie ?; Non-nan who died at the age of 7 with leukemia; and Catherine who married Martin Sharp. Minnie also adopted Marshall (Moses) Tate and Willie Humphry. Thomas H. Cosby and Minnie had no children.

Thomas H. Cosby died September 5, 1957, and Minnie died January 16, 1961. Her heirs sold the COSBY HOUSE to Henry L. Lam in 1966. The most recent conveyance was to Wall and King Construction, Inc. and others. It is reported the property is presently being used for a wildlife refuge.

In 1817, Frederick Harris, Jr., sold to Thomas Nuckolls 249 acres on the south fork of Little River,, )'After purchasing the property, Thomas Nuckolls allowed his son, James Duke Nuckolls, to take up residence on the land without benefit of title. Shortly before his death in the mid 1823, Thomas Nuckolls conveyed the COSBY HOUSE property to his son.

The deed in part reads..."on which he the said James D. Nuckolls at present resides lying on the south fork of Little River" This would certainly indicate a dwelling house either before 1817 or shortly thereafter.

Records indicate James's first wife had died by the time Thomas actually conveyed the land on Little River to his son, James Duke.

This sketch is written mainly from facts learned from my father, Nathaniel Nuckolls. By Elizabeth Ann Nuckolls. (Copies Aug 31, 1957 by Bertha Nuckolls, Galax, VA
My grandfather, Thomas Nuckolls, was born in Louisa County, Virginia, about the year 1767. He was of Scotch descent. His ancestors came from Dunfermline, Scotland, and settled in Virginia. He married Anne terry, she was of Scoth-Irish descent. I suppose they were both Baptists, as all their children were. My father said that they were both strict Christians. There was no dissipation of any kind in the family. I was personally acquainted with all of his sons and daughters, all of them having come to Georgia except the oldest son, Duke, and I knew him in Virginia; he and his whole family were excellent Baptist people. Grandfather was a very dignified, quiet man, but unflinching in what he considered was his duty to his family. He was very particular in all business transactions, honesty and justice was his creed. He was a farmer, raised corn, small grain and tobacco. His sons worked on the farm unless they showed a decided talent for something else. I suppose he must have been a carpenter as well as farmer as three of his sons were fine artisans. He raised six sons and two daughters; these last were trained to do all kinds of domestic work, were fine weavers of nice goods for wearing apparel, sould do any kind of sewing, plain and ornamental. Indeed for ingenuity, the whole family were proverbial. The girls got more education than the oldest boys, the two youngest boys were very well educated. One of the girls married and raised several children, the other died as an old maid. When his sons came of age, he would tell them that they were free, give them what he felt able to give, and exhort them to shunn dissipation of all kinds, and to be industrious and saving. He died about 1825. His wife died first (his children took care of him till he died)

The list of children was taken from estate records and also mentioned in the article "The Village of Frederick Hall" which detailed Thomas & Ann & their children.

[NI00756] Mary Garland was a member of the episcopal Church and her prayer book, which was printed MDCCLXI(1761) has been handed down to her children and grandchildren. The children are listed in the book. (Source "The Nuckolls Family Vol 1 Part 2 of the History of the Bobbitts", compiled and Published 1973 by Clyde Goddard, Rt 1 New Boston, MO 63557)

There is also a record given of the births of fifteen negros belonging to John Nuckolls and twelve negroes belonging to Mary Garland. Of this number, none were sold out of the Nuckolls family, except 2 men who were sodl to men who owned the wives of these two negro men. Several of the descendants of these negroes are now living with and working for the descendants of John Nuckolls and Mary Garland.

A Firm Foundation
Charles garland, brother of Mary garland Nuckolls was a Biptist Minister. There is a story that he got upon a barrel one day to preach and in the course of his remarks, he said that the faith of the Baptists was on a firm foundation, that they would never fall; he stamped his foot to emphasize the remark and the head of the barrell fell through, and he fell with it. This circumstance, of course, broke up the meeting, but he, no doubt, continued to preach about the firm foundation of the Baptist faith. He was a good man, died with consumption about 1830 near Grayson County Virginia.

[NI00760] Peter Nuckolls was the fourth son of John Nuckolls and Mary Garland. He was born on the 18th of June, in 1784 in Louisa County, Virginia. He moved with his family to Greyson County, Virginia about 1790. He spent his growing up years in Greyson County. In adulthood he appears on a tax list dated 27 March 1810, still in Grayson County. Shortly after this he moved to Warren County, TN. (I have never found any indication that he went to Kentucky, accept in Pioneer Settlers of Grayson County, Virginia, by Benjamin Floyd Nuckolls, which was then picked up by Bertha Nuckolls in The First Virginia Nuckolls and Kindred).
Peter Nuckolls was credited with having been instrumental in the establishment of the first school in Warren County. A Mr. Thoss came to Rock Island, Tennessee, in Warren County, with Peter and boarded in his home for a few years. It was during this time that Mr. Thoss organized a school at what was known then as Boiling Spring. (This spring is located on the north side of Grissom Road, in Civil District #3 of Warren County.) The school closed sometime after 1812, when Mr. Thoss, the teacher, went into military service upon the declaration of war by the United States against England in 1812.
Sometime during 1814, word came to the settlement that General Andrew Jackson and his troops were running low on powder. Reuben Roberts (who would become Peter's father-in-law) organized a group of neighbors, of which Peter is listed by name, who gathered materials from places in the county . From this they made a large quantity of powder, which they packed into barrels and then onto wagons drawn by oxen . They cut a new and direct road as they went west-northwest through Rutherford and Davidson Counties to Nashville. There they loaded the powder onto flat boats and sent it to New Orleans and General Jackson. It arrived in time to supply the troops for the Battle of New Orleans on January 8, 1815.
In 1821, when Reuben Roberts had lost his Revolutionary War pension , Peter testified to the legitimacy of Reuben's claim for recovery of that pension.
Peter Nuckolls married Millie Emily Roberts in Warren County, Tennessee about 1826. She was the seventh child of Reuben Roberts and Mary Millie Asher. She had been born near Elizabethton, in 1796, the same year that Elizabethton became the county seat for Carter County, Tennessee.
On September 12, 1832, Peter Nuckolls appears in the Warren County, Tennessee deed records when he sells his share from his uncle Charles Garland's estate to his brother-in-law, James Anderson, Sr. in Grayson County, Virginia. This being a common practice of the time when the inheritance was far away from the heir. Peter received $35 from James Anderson, and James and his wife Patsy would receive two shares of the inheritance left by Charles Garland.
Peter again appears in the county records on October 4, 1841, when he purchased items from the estate sale of his father-in-law, Reuben Roberts (January 4,1744-August 2, 1841). Peter was a witness to his brother-in-law, James Roberts' will which was made in March of 1844. And Peter again appears in Warren County records on June 5, 1847, when purchasing from the estate sale of Mary Millie Roberts (1759-March 14, 1847)
Peter and Millie raise a family of three sons. Ezra, born about 1828; James Elisha born December 27, 1831; and Caswell Cobb born about 1833. This family appears in the 1850 Census of Warren County, Tennessee in Civil District #3.
Peter probably died within the next year because his sons appear on the real estate tax list with acreage. Millie Nuckolls death can only be estimated by her appearance in 1850 census and her lack of appearance in the 1860 census. Peter and his wife Millie are probably buried at Asbury Cemetery, off of Mason Road, just south of Randall Hitchcock Road. (The graves may have once been marked, the name Nuccles appears on a cemetery reading done by the WPA in the 1930's but time and people carrying the stones away to use as foundation rocks has left a lot of unmarked graves at Asbury Cemetery).
On the 1851 tax list of Warren County, Tennessee, Ezra is listed with 100 acres, and Caswell appears with 15 acres.13 James seems to be left out of the inheritance, but March 30, 1854 Ezra and James purchase land together. The land description starts at the Nuckolls' stable and incloses 100 acres. In later years James' widow and children have full title to this property when they sell it. (I assume that by having Ezra pay for half of this property, the division of inheritance from Peter was evened out.)
On November 17, 1853, James and Caswell attend the estate sale of Martha Stone, James purchased a grindstone,a bureau, a trundle bedstead & cover,and a candle stand. Caswell purchased 2 empty salt tubs, a long barrel, a clock, and three chairs. (I have been unable to locate Ezra or Caswell in any Warren County records from this point on.)

Book titled "Tombstone Inscriptions and Manuscripts", compiled by Jeannette Tillotson Acklen, article written by Mrs. Blanche Bentley titled, "Old Burial Grounds Of Warren County, Tennessee.

Some small excerpts from the article:
"The movement, inaugurated by the Daughters of the American Revolution, to preserve the names of the men and women buried in the early graveyards of the country is a most notable and worthy one, and as the years go by will became increasingly distinguished and historic."...."In the earliest days of the county there stood on "the Old Kentucky Road" two miles south of Rock Island a log church known as Asbury's Meeting House. The men who built the church were Reuben Roberts, a Revolutionary soldier,
his sons and son-in-laws, their neighbors and friends; and if the date is correct of their coming to this section -1796- given in the diary of one of them, they formed one of the oldest settlements."....
"According to very responsible tradition the pioneers of Asbury Settlement honored and collect the history of Warren County as known to them upon their first arrival."...." One of the diaries was kept by a young Virginian, a school teacher, who came west with Peter Nuckolls, went to New Orleans under Jackson and never returned....." Sometime while Jackson and his army were at New Orleans word came to the settlement that the General's powder was running low. Immediately Reuben Roberts, Elijah Drake, Peter Buren, Peter Nuckoll, George Sanders, and others from material gotten from the Big Bone Cave and other places, made a large quantity of powder, packed it in wagons drawn by oxen and cutting a new and direct route as they went, by Short Mountain, Rutherford and Davidson Counties to Nashville, loaded the powder on flat boats and sent it to New Orleans to General Jackson."...." The church now seems to have disappeared, nor can the graves of those who built it be found. So completely, apparently, have the forest and earth recalled them to themselves."

00112001-0001011. (We know he was alive in 1826) He does not show up in the 1850 Census anywhere in Virginia. As old as he was, he most likely died, but as he has older sons in the census, we wonder where they went. In 1840 were Nathaniel, his brother Ezra, Creed and Clark. Creed and Clark are the only ones who remained in Grayson Co beyond 1840.

Ezra Nuckolls, b. Mar. 28, I798, Louisa Co., d. May 4, 1857. He and his brothers were much help in the formation of Grayson Co., Va.; they had been well educated and good family training in Eastern Virginia. The men and women were tall in stature, a number of them 7 ft. in height and well proportioned. Ezra served as Sheriff of Grayson Co., Va.; he and his nephews Creed and Clarke Nuckolls with William Oglesby were the first merchants at Grayson Court House, Va., until after the close of the War186I-1865; then the firm was Nuckolls and Jennings. A branch store was opened at Independence, Va. Ezra built the first storehouse there, also the first hotel; he continued in business until he sold out and moved to Missouri about 1853, bringing their children and their slaves. Took up Gov't land where Rock Port, Mo., is now. After locating, they said that some day a burying ground would be needed, and they selected a beautiful site on a little hill that overlooked the countryside. Ezra Nuckolls died first, and in three weeks his wife died of a broken heart. They were buried in that plot, which has aIways been known as the Nuckolls Burying Ground; though now it adjoins or is a part of the Rock Port Cemetery. It has a good iron fence, well kept, and a nice granite monument is at the grave of Ezra and Lucinda Nuckolls. Many of the Nuckolls family are buried there. In this Nuckolls Burying Ground, there is a flowering shrub) -a Deep Rose Peony -still blooming yearly, that Stephen Friel Nuckolls sent and had planted when he was a Congressman, in Washington, D. C., 1859-----98 years ago.

1863 Grayson County, Virginia Land Tax List - Eastern District
Nuckolls, Ezra, Estate (MO) 340 Chestnut Creek - 20 .50 - 170 1.70

I visited the Cemetary in Rock Port, MO. I found the grave of Ezra and Lucinda Nuckolls who died in May of 1857. The grave site is still well maintained. It has a five foot tall headstone which states that Ezra
Nuckolls was born in Grayson County, VA. This is different than previously reported. A number of Nuckolls and inlaws are buried in the Cemetary.
Charles Nuckolls, June, 2000

Below is a copy of a letter, as best as I can interpret the old hand writing, sent to Ezra Nuckolls from Martin Hail, Ezra's brother in law in 1855. This original letter is on file in Lincoln, Nebraska at the Nebraska Historical Society. I find interesting how in several of these old letters that they tried to hide or under state the excitement of important news and state they didn't have any important news etc. Usually stated by "oh by the way I almost forgot to tell you that my wife (your sister) had a baby".
Read the letter and see (children born and deaths). Also, this letter was written a few years before the Civil War - little did they know how life in the South would change .

The envelope shows Leesburg, Alabama, Nov 30th as return address. Stamp is three cents. It is addressed to: Ezra Nuckolls, Esq.
Byren
Atchinson County, Missouri

In the interpretation of the letter, I place ??? marks where I could not make out the word or letter. Blank line indicates new page. Also, the letter is faded so punctuation did not show - so it looks like a lot of run on sentences but I didn't want to add anything that I could not see in the letter.

The letter:

Leesburg, Cherokee County, Ala, Nov 4, 55

My Dear Brother & Sister
Your kind forward of 15th Sept was duly received & found ??? all in the enjoyment of good health. I have delayed writing until now thinking I would have something of some interest but have not and can't think of waiting any longer as I am very anxious to hear from you all. Brother Clarke started to Va 10th Sept. went to Knoxville by Rail Road and then to Wytheville by stage six days trip from home to Grayson settled our business. This and arrived home the 6th October came home by publich conveyance also, coughing He was sick all the time he was gone ??? give very little information on
satisfaction of matters & things in that County did not go to old town nor no where else but to Elk Creek and once to Independence seemed to be rather ?unlish since his return probably from the fact that it is hard times here about money matters, I received a letter from Brother Fielden of the Death of Sister

Evalina on the 10th Oct which you doubtys have heard before this in the same letter he wrote that Eli & Mother had advertised to sell off all Mothers property except slaves and to live them out on 25th Oct that is the last and all I have heard of it If they had have wanted to sold the negroes without my presence they had better have sold them this fall provided I live not that I ever expect to make enough by being their to pay my expenses but I like to see even handed Justice to all. I have 5 negroes to sell this fall
as Executer three boys & 2 girls. The sale comes on 22 this instant I want to buy one of the boys 22 years old and his wife 16 years old if they don't go too high but they are very likely and I am determined to make them bring the last Dollar I can whether I get them or not. This is the property of ???(Hemae) Sullen married a daughter of James Hail died three years ago with consumption made a will and appointed me his Executer his widow died in July last with Consumption leaving 5 children 2 boys & 3 daughters the oldest a boy 12 years old Youngest a girl 4 years old I shall have to raise two of the children if no ??? their had been nothing done with the property so it Will all be to sell. Now Sir you sometimes speak of tall bidding if you could be here at that time you should see some as them children has no one to look too but myself for Justice & protection and I am determined the property shall bring the last possible Dollar. I have a particular anxiety to make them negroes at Mothers have that Country a bring a price. I acknowledge that negroes are flesh & blood and should be treated humane but
have come to the conclusion it is not best to consult a negroes notions too much Particularly when they are tankered with by un???? while ???. I think my Cousin Wm Dickenson made my boy Gilbert some promises more than he ought best as it has turned out I ??? very well with him got a girl that is start
& likely about grown some 14 or 15 years old ??? me to give Lucinda which I done when I returned from Virginia who was worth more than the girls I give Martin & Sarah but I have paid them $100 a piece in cash to make them equal had like to have forgot Sarah had a fine daughter 3 weeks old today both
doing well Sarah has improved very much since you saw her. Jestain (or Jesteris?) had son born 12th of September weighed 10 lb when first born both well & hearty their has been a good deal of Fever & Agne and Home Fever in our County this season my family and the most of the ??? have enjoyed
good health. I have a great desire to visit you at your new home and intend doing so next summer or fall if not prevented by some unforesee occurance. I have no expectation of moving from where I am in fact I think it would be folly in me to move I have so much land here as I ever will want all paid for and am making money slowly we enjoy good health all my children are here and have been raised in the South. I haven't any idea we would be as healthy in Mo. As we are in Ala Our Climate is mild and pleasant Winter and summer and if we try we can live as well here as any place in the world, I have no Idea our Country is any thing in comparison with Mo as to fertility ??? but we can make plenty I made from 50 to 60 Bushels of corn to the acre off some of my land this season and I have sold 140 Bushels of Wheat Of my own raising this season for $140 Cash in hand and could have sold more but believe it will be higher Agents are travelling through the Country picking up every Bushel they are buying for the European armies and every thing we make will sell for Cash at fair prices corn is worth from the high
??? 30 to 37 ½ cts for bushel this season we are convenient to market with any thing we make I bought my dry goods in New York this fall the freight from New York to my door was about 1.75 cts for Hundred Insurance included and only 10 or 12 days from the time they were shipped until I recei. I can
go from home to New York in 4 days can go from here to St. Louis Mo in 4 days in 12 or 18 months more can go from home to almost any part of the United States in a week or 10 days. In a short time can go from home to Wytheville in 24 to 30 hours - upon the whole I think we live in a convenient Country. I have sold about $10,000 worth goods this season which is plenty to sell a country place have sold at a fair Profit I am selling all goods but groceries at home 75 to 100 percent on first cost & the business is improving with me from the fact that the population is improving & also from the fact that Centre & service other places in the Country are not doing a great deal. Their have not been a Cart load of new goods received at Centre this fall in 4 stores they are trying to raise a little wind but I don't know how they will come out. I don't care to sell any more there I am selling them being scarce give me better chance for profits and a chance to pick my customers please write to me upon the reception of this send write often & give me all the information you can with regard to yern Country E. N. write me when you expect to visit Grayson as we expect you then to visit ours if not sooner.

EARLY BUSINESS (STORES) Ezra Nuckolls opened the first store and hotel in Independence. In 1853, he sold out his businesss here and moved to Missouri. Stephen M Dickey took over the hotel building, apparently as an ordinary. Ezra, Creed, and Charles Nuckolls, sons of Robert G. Nuckolls formed a partnership with William Oglesby, and went into the merchantile business. They were the first merchants at the Grayson County seat. They had branch houses at Bridle Creek and Elk Creek. They, except Ezra, continued in business here until after the Civil War, when the business became that of Nuckolls and Dickenson. Another early firm to locate here was that of Nuckolls and Jennings. Theirs was a branch house of their business in Oldtown.(Grayson County: A History in Words and Pictures) by Grayson Co. Historical Society, Va. 1976 pg. 307

When James Elisha Nuckolls appears in the deed books of Warren County, on March 8, 1859 he sells 15 acres of land in Civil District #3 of Warren County, Tennessee for $230. The deed states that James is "lawfully seized of said land--have a good right to convey it and that the same is unencumbered." (I think this is the inheritance of Caswell Nuckolls, but what brought it to this circumstance I do not know.)
James Elisha and Altha Susan appear in the 1860 Census in Civil District #3 of Warren County, Tennessee. They are listed with two of their children, Elen Elizabeth Bellvora and Artimisha Permela. John Hershel will be born 11 December of that census year.

J. E. Nuckolls enlisted in the Confederate Army on November 18, 1862 in McMinnville, Tennessee He was a private in Company B of the 22nd Tennessee Infantry Battalion. His military career was unfortunately very short. The battalion left Warren County and joined the Army of Tennessee, arriving after the the Battle of Murfreesboro, which took place on December 31, 1862. They marched through Coffee County and into Bedford County, then on to Shelbyville. On January 10, 1863 James was listed as absent from roll call, with the remark on a later roll call that he had died in a hospital on February 20, 1863.

James never participated in anything except a very long walk.

The years of the Civil War were hard. Warren County and McMinnville, the county seat were occupied first by the Union, and then by the Confederate forces, and then they would switch again. An un substituted story, Rena Chloe Frederick (a great-granddaughter of James and Altha) tells of Altha and her children hiding in a cave when Union troops came through the county. The troops were looking for horses and apparently James had raised horses. A black women named Chloe helped to hid the family, bringing them food and water, while her husband hid the horses in another cave. Somehow the horses were discovered and the black man was shot. (The story implies that the man died, but that was never said.) [ Rena believed that the black woman Chloe remained with Altha until her death. Rena has only one memory of Altha, as a very tiny OLD woman lying on a high bed with a very tall black woman standing beside the bed. Rena remarked that that was the first time she had seen a black person, and that really impressed her. (Rena would have been 1 month short of 3 years of age when Altha died). But Rena said she had been told she was named for the woman who had kept the family safe in the cave.]

After the Civil War ended, Altha Susan remarried on November 11, 1866 to Wyatt T Perry. Wyatt's family had come from Ashe County, North Carolina to Warren County, Tennessee, prior to the 1850 Census. Altha and Wyatt have five children: William Madison, Charles Ezra, Darthula, Mary Jane "Molly", and Hortence.
Altha Susan and Wyatt continued living on the land that James had purchased. Hog production was the main source of income and the family lived with some degree of comfort. But hog cholera struck in Warren County, taking their income away. In 1886 the land was sold and the family
migrated west to Arkansas.

[NI00772] Caswell appears in the First Virginia Nuckolls and Kindred Book II on page 186 number 396. Much more has been documented on his line including his many wives and the correct maiden name of Julia which we incorrectly thought for years was Van Duzen.

LDS IGI File No 8003802 Sheet 55 gives full name as Caswell Benjamin Cobb Nuckolls. This is verified by Irene Nuckols Moore who remembers his name having "Cobb" included.

Irene's father was Thomas Edward Nuckolls who was the son of Caswell and his second wife, Susan Lear.

According to Lillian, Uncle Luther's daughter by Martha, Uncle Luther had own brothers named; John, Jim and Carr. I was given this information by Irene Moore. In the 1870 Kentucky census, I found James E., Luther, and Charles A.

Caswell's occupation was a shoemaker. He was also a farmer.

According to the 1870 Crittenden County, Kentucky census, Caswell Nuckols and his wife, Julia, and sons, J. E. and Luther were born in Tennessee. Jim was born in 1866 and Luther was born in 1868. His next child, Charles, was born in Kentucky in 1869. Dora was also born in Kentucky. Caswell and Julia moved to Kentucky from Tennessee about 1869.

Julia died when Dora was born. The baby, Dora, was given to Andrew Aldridge to raise and Caswell married Susan Lear and he and Susan raised the three boys. It is believed that Andrew was a brother to a David Aldridge who was a second husband of Julia's mother, also named Julia. Told by Elmina Board, (daughter of Dora) to her daughter Helen Marie Barnes Evilsizer. No burial place was ever found for Julia.

Dora Elizabeth was an orphan girl. She was raised by Andrew Aldridge who lived on a farm near Ben Board. Dora's brother, Luther, stayed close by while they were growing up and looked after Dora until she married Ben Board. Her father, Caswell, kept the three boys and remarried.

The family story about dying in childbirth is recently in question, as we find Julia marriage in Indiana (where her mother moved) to a John Wagner in 1872.

Caswell Nuckols died between 1889 and 1900 as his last child, Sallie, was born in 1889 and was listed with her mother, Susan, and brother. Sallie was ten years old in 1900, and Susan was shown as a widow.

There is no record of the original 100 acres in the deed books of Warren Co. TN, but the 15 acres mentioned as Caswell's are sold by James on March 8, 1859 (Deed Book 3, pp428-429)and the right to sell this land is explained with the line "I am lawfully seized of said land-have a good right to convey it and that the same is unencumbered."

A gloom of sorrow was cast over the Briarfield community, last Friday morning, December 3rd, at 6 o'clock when Mrs. Nora Board, 66, succumbed at the home of her son, with whom she had resided for the past several years. She was the daughter of the late Caswell and Julia Nuckles and was born in Marion Kentucky, February 5, 1870, remaining there until 16 years of age when she came to Caldwell County where she resided until her death. Nearly 50 years ago she was united in marriage to the late Ben M. Board. This union was blessed with nine children, five having preceded her in death. They were Mrs. Alameda Jenkins, Mrs. Estella Williamson, Eller, Rosalee and Nora Mae Board. Those left to survive are Andy Board, Mrs Mary Payne, Mrs Lillian Gray, all of the county, and Mrs Dock Barnes of Sullivan, Mo.
There are also 20 grandchildren and one great grandchild together with a host of other friends and relatives to mourn her passing. Mrs Board was a devout member of the Briarfield Baptist Church.
Funeral service was conducted at the family residence at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon by the Rev. H. A. Egbert. Interment followed in the family lot at the Perry Cemetery, (Caldwell County, Ky.), amid an embankment of floral offerings.

[NI00782] Sally met and married Finis Luther Holt in Lyon Co. Eddyville Ky. He was born Oct 17 1882 in Princeton Ky, and died on Dec 2 1974 in Goodrich, MI. They then moved to St. Louis, Mo and then to Jonesboro Ark, and had 6 children (sons), her oldest being my Grandfather Finis James Holt. Sally's husband worked as an Enginere for the Railroad in Ark. Prospects where not good in thoes days for jobs, so when the Factories opened up in Michigan she tryed to get her husband to move to Michigan where the jobs and money where better and they could have a better life. Sally was very head strong, her husband refused to go, so Sally packed up the 4 youngest boys and headed to MI alone. Once in MI, she got a job as the First Police Matron for the City of Flint Jail, working with Female Inmates. She worked there from July 11, 1932 until she retired on Aug 23, 1951. While working there she saved money in hopes her husband would join her, he never did , but he would come to visit her and the boy's. With the money she saved she bought acherage and a Dairy farm on Ridge Rd.. in Goodrich, MI, so that when her son Donald came home from WWII he would have a place to live and work. This farm was run by her son's Mose, Don, Cecil and Ed . They all did have other jobs too. She loved her farm it was everything she ever wanted, and she was well known in the Police Community, this was the life she had always wanted. However she did not know alot about her family (father). She and her son Donald traveled to MO. to find information on Caswell, but had no luck, due to records being destroyed in a fire, she stated to my family. It was a dissapointing trip for her. Sally and Finis did divorce after many years, about the late 1950's. he stayed in Ark, and remarried, and is burried there by his 2nd wife. Sally is burried in Flint, MI in Sunset Hills Cemetary, located on Flushing Rd, next to some of her son's. Bitter about the divorce she added the letter "E" to the end of her last name (Holte) which is on her head stone. Also if you notice Finis Luther and his son Donald died the same day. They where living together in Goodrich, when Donald had a heart attack, his father was going to go accross the street to get help, his other sons house ( Ed) Harold, when he had a heart attack also, both where found later that day by Ed when he noticed that the front door had been opened for a long time that day and it was very cold day. A double Funeral was held for both of them , I remember I was only 10 years old at the time when I attended it.

[NI00784] Benjamin Morrison Board lived at Donaldson and Princeton, Kentucky where he was a farmer. He lived near Flatt Rock Church with his first family. Later, he gave his eldest son, Frank, land near Flatt Rock Church and built himself and Dora a new "Big House" over in Princeton. My mother said her father had owned slaves.

Ben's first wife, Rebecca, was called Becky. He married Dora after Becky died. Ben and Becky had three children who lived. One child had died at birth and another, a girl, had died at age four. All of Ben and Dora's children died young except Uncle Andy and my mother, Elmina. Nora Mae died in infancy; Alemeda was twenty-five; Ella, fourteen; Stella, 31; Rosalie, 8; Lillian, 30; and, Mary Elizabeth, 25. Andrew and Elmina lived to be over 90 years old.

Benjamin was the Great Great Grandson of Cornelius Board
Cornelius Board (ca.1690-1745) was the Founder of the Board family in America. He came from Sussex, England in 1730 with his wife, Elizabeth, and two young sons, James and David; James was ten, born in 1720, and David was three, born in 1727. He settled first at Bloomfield, New Jersey, then later at Boardville, Pompton Township, Passaic County, New Jersey.

Cornelius was a Civil Engineer and Surveyor. He was sent by Alexander Lord Sterling to search the mountains of northern New York and New Jersey for copper ore, but he found not copper but iron in great abundance. He named the place Sterling after his patron, and he built the first forge there in the years, 1730 to 1736. The first iron made in that part of the country was made by Cornelius Board, and it is absolutely certain that this first Sterling Forge was the beginning of the works that later made iron for cannon balls used in the Revolution; also, for the great chain that stretched across the Hudson at West Point.

Benjamin's grandfather was Philip Schuyler Board who descended from the famous Schuyler's of New York. Philip's mother was Janneke Ann Schuyler who was a great great granddaughter of Philip Schuyler and Marguerita Van Slichtenhorst.

Benjamin might have been married prior to Dora

[NI00786] Perry Cemetery is off highway 230 in Caldwell CO KY. She died when Hervie was two and Robert Roscoe "Glenn" was a few weeks old. Robert Roscoe was raised by the Weeks family. They called him Glenn.

[NI00789] Glenn was raised by the Weeks family.

[NI00790] Andy bought 90 acres of farm land in Caldwell Co, from his father. Andy and Ethel lived at the homestead at 305 North Seminary Street, Princeton KY. Andy served 53 years at Union Grove Baptist Church as a member and deacon.

Andy's birth date has been a topic of family discussion for many years. If born in 1892 as family records and death certificate suggests, his sister Elmina could not have been born 6 months later in April of 1893. Elmina always stated she was 7 years older than her spouse, Stephen. Death certificate for Andy says 1892.

[NI00794] Elmina was a wonderful cook. She always had lots of cakes and pies, especially lemon. Every Christmas, the table was filled with lots of deserts.

Elmina and her brother, Andrew, were the only two of Benjamin Morrison Board's children who lived long lives.

After Stephen died, Elmina moved back to Princeton, Kentucky to be near relatives. Later, she moved to Madisonville, Kentucky.

[NI00795] Stephen and Elmina lived in Princeton, Kentucky until about 1920 when they moved to Herrin, Illinois where Stephen had a house built for his family.

Stephen worked in the coal mines and with the railroad. While working with the railroad, he was seriously injured. and was in a coma for a period of time.

Stephen and Elmina left Herrin in 1933 and moved to Missouri where they bought a farm on the outskirts of the town of Sullivan where Stephen became a farmer. When Stephen died, at age 57, he was buried in the graveyard in Sullivan, Missouri.

[NI00798] Dorothy and John lived first in the St. Louis area, then later in Warrenton, further out from St. Louis. John worked as a machinist at McDonald Douglas Aircraft.
Dorothy and John's son, John Leo II, was kidnapped at one time shortly after he and his wife, Sally, were married. The kidnapper, at gunpoint, made John drive him across the country and then later had John drive him back to the St. Louis area. He did not harm John, just let him out of the car somewhere in the area. The kidnapper was eventually caught.

Their son, John, with Sally and only daughter, Kelly, later moved out of the St. Louis area further West. They have since moved to other areas, but have never returned to the St. Louis area except for visits. The two other children, Joanne and Helen, with their husbands, remained in the home area close to John and Dorothy.

[NI00811] Died when 16

[NI00812] James was called Jimmie. He was in the US Navy and was an electrician. He had cancer.

[NI00818] Mary Elizabeth Board and George Harty Payne lived on Sugar Creek, at the old BOARD place in Caldwell CO until 1932. They moved to Dawson Road, about 3 miles out of Princeton. Mary was killed by a milk truck from Madisonville. The truck hit her wagon on the way home from Princeton on Highway 62.
Her husband died in a car accident on Sandlick Rd

[NI00819] Died in a car accident on Sandlick Road on September 19, 1966.

[NI00863] Willis Franklin Reynolds was the son of Rowlett Reynolds and Amanda Susan Weaver Perkins. According to birth records, he was born in Scott County, Mo. We believe that the family continued to live in Scott Co., Mo until Amanda became ill. They then moved to Kentucky, where she died. Willis
was a very small child at this time. Census records show Willis, at the age of two, living with his Perkins grandparents. He would stay with them until his Dad remarried.

Rowlett was faced with raising his two children without a wife. He met and married Lillie May Rucker. They took their small family back to Blodgett, Missouri, where Willis grew to adulthood. Willis continued to live at home, helping the family by contributing his income. Willis met Lillian May Nuckles and wished to marry her. Hut the mother's didn't want them to marry yet. (He was 24 and she was 28.) Willis claimed they ran away to get married on March 20, 1932.

Willis and Lillian left the area for awhile after their marriage. They did return when Lillian was expecting their first child. Evelyn Louise was born May 2, 1935 on a very stormy night. Unfortunately the labor was long and very difficult. Evelyn Louise's head was badly injured during thebirth process, and she was born dead. Willis was faced with the task of making his daughter's coffin, which he then buried at the foot of her grandfather's grave. Willis made a stone marker to mark her grave.

Willis and Lillian stayed in Blodgett. On October 26, 1938, they had a son, whom they named Willis Floyd Reynolds. With both father and son's first name being Willis, the child used the name Floyd.

Willis worked at the Nunlee Gas Station and also as a driver for the Nunlee Funeral Home. Being handy with his hands, Willis opened a shop behind his home. There he did carpentry and woodwork for others. During WW2, he went to St Louis and worked in the ammunition plant there. Remaining in St Louis
until 1951, the family finally returned to Blodgett, where Willis purchased land from his brother-in-law and went back to doing carpentry for others. In the middle 60's, when their son Floyd returned from a tour in Alaska, Willis and Lillian moved to Tarboro, NC in order to be close to Floyd and his family. In Tarboro, Willis' carpentry work was in great demand. When Floyd moved to Fayetteville, NC, Willis and Lillian remained in Tarboro. Willis was well employed and Fayetteville, was only a two hour drive away.
When Floyd was promoted and moved again, this time to Olathe, KS, Willis and Lillian choose to return to Sikeston, Mo.

In 1990, with their health failing, Willis and Lillian moved in with Floyd and Jo Ann. Willis had been battling cancer since 1972. First he had part of his kidney removed, then he had prostate cancer. This was followed by testicle cancer, and then Willis had two surgeries for lung cancer. In 1990, he had two surgeries for bladder cancer. He was getting ready for third surgery for the bladder cancer, when the x-rays revealed that lung cancer had greatly advanced. Willis was sent home and told to enjoy the
time left of his life. Falling and breaking his hip, Willis entered into a Johnson County nursing home. The break took what little strength Willis had left in his ravaged body, and he died in his sleep on March 8, 1992. His bride, Lillian had preceded him in death by exactly five weeks. They are both laid to rest at Morley Cemetery, in Morley, Mo., just miles from Willis' birth place. Willis and Lillian left behind a son, Floyd; grandsons, Edward Lee, James Alen, Denny Robert, and John Floyd; Great-granddaughters, Chantelle Niccole, Starrett Foster; and a great-grandson, Robert Taylor.

JOHN BOBBITT 1783 - 1819 Son of Captain William and Nancy Bobbitt
John Bobbitt was the fourth son of Captain William and Nancy (McKenzie) Bobbitt. John was born in 1783 in Montgomery County, Virginia and in what is today Carroll County, Virginia.

When John was 22 years of age he married Nancy Nuckolls a daughter of Charles Nuckolls of Grayson County. John and Nancy were married on January 29, 1806 in Grayson County and their marriage is recorded. The section of Grayson County that they lived in later became Carroll County. The Nuckolls family was a large, wealthy and influential family in the county. The village that John and Nancy lived near was named "Nuckollsville" Virginia.

John and Nancy Bobbitt had six sons and no daughters. The six sons all lived to maturity, married and raised key Bobbitt families that later settled in Kentucky, Missouri and West Virginia.

The second wife of Charles Nuckolls was Mary Black. They had three sons. John Nuckolls moved to Kentucky, James Nuckolls moved to Missouri, and Charles Nuckolls died single. They had five daughters, Betty, Sally, Polly, Susan, and Nancy. Nancy Nuckolls, the last of the children, married John Bobbitt.

The John Bobbitt family was counted in the Grayson County, Federal census in 1820. John Bobbitt died in 1819 and his son James was born after his death. Here is the census record.

NANCY BOBBITT: (Widow of John Bobbitt)

4 males under 10 (1810-1820) 1 female 26 - 45 (1775-1794)

2 males 10 - 16 (1804-1810)

Nancy was born in 1790 and was only 30 years of age when she faced the responsibility of raising her six sons. There were many indications that John Bobbitt was not physically well and that he tried to solve his health problems with alcohol. In March of 1818 John Bobbitt, school master of the county was summoned before the grand jury for insulting and interrupting the meeting house on Little Reed Island on the third Sunday of January 1818. The information was given by Esq. George Cornwallis.

John must have been very intelligent and well educated for his time to be the school master of the county

[NI00933] Fell on Court House steps when paying taxes. As they came out of the building, she slipped on the large stone step, and fell injuring her side, causing a hemorrhage. She was taken across the street to the old Clement Hotel, where she died soon afterward.

[NI00974] Ruth was a beautiful girl as a child and young woman. She had blonde hair
and light blue eyes. Everyone in the small town of Tucker Georgia admired
her beauty. Her heart was won by a dashing young man by the name of Daniel
Hopkins. They fell in love and married during the second World War. Dan
shipped out from San Diego CA and his bride followed him and stayed in the
city to work and wait for her husband to return.

Ruth loved animals and children. She had 3 pregnancies but only one baby to
live. She helped her husband become very successful in the construction
business. Her hobby's were many. She was a polished ballroom dancer and
square dancer. She was chosen to go to New York to dance with the famous
Author Murray dance instructor. Ruth and Dan also were involved in a car
club. They would buy old cars and refurbish and restore them to their
natural beauty. As a member of the local group they would then take them to
different places to be involved in parades and car shows.

Ruth loved Christmas and family. Her grandchildren spent many days with
their beloved "Grandma." She always had time for them and was always there
for her babies.

Ruth had a lot of sadness in her life but still was able to be a wonderful
mother, grandmother and friend to me, her daughter-in-law. She is sorely
missed and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her.

[NI00975] Ledford Elemanda Nuckolls was the son of Fayette and Flora Nuckolls. He married Rosie Head Purcell in 1916. Ledford registered for the draft of World War 1 but never went to War. I found the 1920 Census record that show him living in Tucker GA. He is 22 yrs. old and is married to Rosie who is 27 yrs. old. His daughter, Flora L. is listed as 12/3 yrs. old. Ledford had many problems in his life. He got into trouble with police and eventually Rosie left him. His two daughters never really knew there father. He later remarried but Rosie had never given him a divorce. I met a lady at the Gwinnett Historical Society and she told me she knew Ledford Nuckolls. She said she remembered him sitting outside the drugstore in Lawrenceville talking about the old days to his friends on many occasions.

City directories in our library show an E. SMITH at this address in 1915, but later directories do not show 105 as a house number on Avon Avenue. The addresses shown are either above or below 105 in numerical order. Also, there was no LESTER NUCKOLLS or L. Nuckolls in any of the directories 1912-1929. If he did move to Dekalb County (Tucker, e.g.) there would be no listing in directories of this period, as this would have been too far out of town to be included.

[NI00992] Thomas Lafayette Nuckolls was the oldest son of Cornelius Hansell Nuckolls and Rachel Beard. He was called, Fayette, by those who knew him best. He married Flora Warbington on February 20, 1888. They had eight children together by 1910. Flora was stuck with Tuberculosis in 1912 and died suddenly leaving Fayette with small children to raise. He was a good father to his children. He never married again after Flora died. He owned a good bit of land in Gwinnett county in a little town that today is called Tucker. I can still see the old chimney to Fayette's house today on the property that was once his home. At his death the property was sold and the money divided between his eight children. He is buried not more than a few miles from his old homestead.

[NI00995] Forsyth County Court House papers show that Joel Thomas Nuckolls Jr. was appointed legal guardian over Gabriella Phillips and S.J. Phillips. He married Gabriella. He applied for letters of dismission from this responsibility when they came of age and was granted a release on January 5, 1885. F. M. Hawkins Ordinary.

Georgia and Jennie were twins. These twins' nephew, Joel Thomas Nuckolls, Jr., sent them from California two solid gold watches during the "Gold Rush"; the second hand moves only four times a minute, instead of sixty.

[NI00997] Joel Thomas was the first born son of James Alexander & Anne Burress of VA. He can be found in local church records, land records and military records of Forsyth County Georgia. He married Irana Bryant in 1842 in Forsyth Co and later served in the Civil War in the GA Inf.,25th Bn, Co E, (Prov Guards). Joel and Irana had nine children. The children married and had families and lived in Forsyth County. The family owned land that is now under a large lake in the Atlanta Georgia suburbs. This is a man-made lake and so when the plans were being drawn up the family that has inherited this property were paid for the property and was given more land in it's place. His son, Bryant and his wife lived in the house that was Joel & Irana's. The descendants still live on this property today.

The 1850 Forsyth Census lists Joel's wife as Joanna. Now, I don't know if Joel married Joanna before Irany Bryant or if Joanna is Irany's other name. I have found no marriage or death record of Joanna Nuckolls.

On the 1870 Census record, it show a 20 year old black woman by the name of Elsie living with the family as a domestic servant. This was after the War Between the States, so she must have been paid.

The 1870 Census record also states that Joel owned Real Estate worth $2600 and his personal property was valued at $800. At this particular time, Joel's son, C.H. Nuckolls was living next door. There is another Nuckolls family living on the other side of Joel and his family. The Widow, Mary J. Nuckolls, who was a black woman with four black children. There was also a Buress family next to Mary J. that was also black. Joel's mother's maiden name was Buress. These black families could have at one time been servants for the Nuckoll/Buress families. I have been told that the black families often took the names of their owners. I do not know for sure if this is so. The 1870 census also has Elsie Nuckolls age 20 living in the household

In the 1880 Census record, Joel is listed in the Forsyth County Georgia, Chattahoochee Dist., Cumming Post Office. Joel is 36 years old and Irany is 37. He states his parents were born in Virginia and he doesn't know where Irany's parents were born. There is a white servant living with them named Gussie age 16 years. The four younger sons is listed with him.

One source said that he was born in Virginia but his military record and the 1850 census record says he was born in Georgia. I assume that he knew where he was born since he filled out these records..Joel's Family are always listed in the Forsyth County census records from 1850 thurough 1880 in the Chattahoochee District (I haven't checked the 1890 and 1900 census records yet). He is also listed as a planter or framer In the GA State Gazetter in 1886-87 and 1888-89. So I believe that he lived most of his adult life in Forsyth County, GA

In 1956 the Corps of Engineers moved some graves from the Nuckolls Family Cemetery to the Bethel Baptist Church about 12 miles W. of Gainesville, off Hwy 169 (I think).

[NI01001] Adel and Ruby bought and lived on a farm in the Bethel Community. Ruby continued to teach school. Nila Sue Nuckolls was born while they lived on the farm. At the time this area of Forsyth County had no paved roads, electricity, or telephones.

Eventually Ruby and Adel sold this farm and moved to Hall County where Ruby Eva Brown Nuckolls was a teacher in several of the Hall County and North Gwinnett school systems. They bought another farm on Lights Ferry Road in Flowery Branch, Georgia, where Adel continued to farm the land, raise poultry, and work as a carpenter. In 1944 they had another daughter, Karyn Nan Nuckolls. Cheri Jane Nuckolls was born in 1951. Ruby Eva Brown Nuckolls was an educator for more than 40 years. After retiring from the State of Georgia School System, she continued the career she loved by teaching Adult Basic Education at Lanier Technical School. Ruby was instrumental in paving the way for many adults to receive a high school equivalency diploma.

In the late 1940s the United States Corps of Engineers bought the old family farm on the Chattahoochee River, preparing to flood the area with the Buford Dam and create Lake Sidney Lanier. Nila, Nettie, Birdie, and Joel Thomas Nuckolls had to sell the family home place and farm on the banks of the Chattahoochee River. They moved to Flowery Branch, Georgia, to live next door to the farm owned by their brother, Adel Benton Nuckolls and Ruby Eva Brown Nuckolls, and their three daughters, Nila Sue, Karyn Nan, and Cheri Jane Nuckolls.

Adel was in a school play as a child and played the part of a doctor. After this he was called "Doc" by all his friends and family members.

[NI01004] I did FINALLY find the family Bible I was looking for. It was given to
Calvin and Mae on Christmas 1917. Also, I was mistaken about the word
"Colonel" being abbreviated. Now that I look at it again, and using a
magnifying glass, it looks as though the Bible was given to them by "Colonel & Katie". The handwriting is both faded and "artistic", so it is hard to read. You might have more definite info about who Colonel and Katie are.

Most of the people recorded in the Bible are descendents of Calvin & Mae, showing marriages, births, deaths, etc. In other words, just them and my mother, brother, and my children (my brother has not married). Before my grandmother died, Mother had her write out the birth and death dates of her
parents and siblings, all of which are James's. If anyone wants this info, I will be glad to provide it, but so far no one on the James side has been looking for it.

[NI01011] Bryant Nuckolls and Lydia Orr Nuckolls married on December 24, 1889. They made their home on a farm next to the Chattahoochee River, in the Bethel Community, Forsyth County, Georgia, where they had grown up near Nuckolls and Orr family members. Bryant and Lydia had twelve children, three grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Of the twelve children, nine lived to become adults. The surviving children were Nila, Ernest, Nettie, Birdie, Virgil, Adel, Tina, Joel and Eugene.

It was hard to make a living in those days and around 1909 several members of the Bethel Community moved to Pinetta, Florida. Bryant, Lydia, and their children moved there too. They moved by train and by mule drawn wagons, taking cows and chickens with them. The purpose of this move was to be further south, and possibly grow two crops per year in a milder climate. However, the winter in North Florida was harsh, not milder, and in 1910, after giving birth to Eugene Dolly Nuckolls, Lydia Orr Nuckolls became ill. She died on September 26 and was buried in an unmarked grave at Mt. Horeb Primitive Baptist Church, near Pinetta, Florida.

Shortly after losing their mother, the broken hearted family moved back to Forsyth County to be near other Nuckolls and Orr family members, and once again live on a Chattahoochee River farm. The older children, Nila, Ernest, Nettie, and Birdie, cared for the younger children, Virgil, Adel, Tina, Joel and Eugene. They were very dependent on each other, living and working closely together on the family farm as a team.

Bryant Nuckolls was married a second time to a widow named Mrs. Ellington of Alpharetta, Georgia. She also had a large family of children. Both families were so large that they didn't live together. Mr. Nuckolls and Mrs. Ellington had one son, Curtis Ellington. This marriage did not work out so they divorced and went their separate ways. Mrs. Ellington and Mr. Nuckolls agreed for Curtis to use the Ellington name. Bryant Nuckolls moved back to the farm with Lydia's and his children. Many years later, Curtis Ellington came to visit his half brothers and sisters. The resemblance to his half siblings was remarkable!

Bryant Ernest Nuckolls, the oldest son of Bryant and Lydia served in World War I. He was killed in France on September 12, 1918. His body was sent back home to Georgia where he is interred in the Nuckolls Family Plot, Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery, Forsyth County, Georgia. He is also honored at the War Memorial in Cumming, Georgia.

Bryant Nuckolls died in January 1937 and is interred in the Nuckolls Family Plot, Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery, Forsyth County, Georgia. Eugene Dolly Nuckolls, the youngest son of Lydia and Bryant, placed a monument to Lydia Orr Nuckolls in the family plot. Bryant's grave site is next to the monument.

In order to get a high school education, the youngest son (Eugene Dolly Nuckolls) and the youngest daughter (Tina Agnes Nuckolls) of Bryant and Lydia Nuckolls, were sent away to the Monroe A & M boarding school, Monroe, Georgia. Eugene and Tina graduated with honors. Eugene went on to the University of Georgia and received a Masters degree. Tina became a registered nurse, training at Erlanger Hospital, Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Nila, Nettie, Birdie, Joel, and Eugene Nuckolls are all gone now. They are buried in the Nuckolls Family Plot, Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery, Forsyth County, Georgia, with their father, paternal and maternal grandparents, and other siblings. Tina Agnes Nuckolls Hurt and John Morris Hurt are interred in the Mausoleum, Memorial Park Gardens, Gainesville, Georgia. Adel Benton Nuckolls and Ruby Eva Brown Nuckolls died in 1996, and are interred at the Chattahoochee Baptist Church Cemetery, Flowery Branch, Georgia. Adel and Ruby were very active in their church. Adel served as a deacon for many years, and Ruby was very active in Sunday School, Bible School, and church music.

The Bryant Nuckolls families have not been strangers to sadness or happiness. They had an intense family support system - surrounded with love for each other, and their neighbors.

[NI01013] Name Overton Thomas Nuckolls submitted by Bill Kerr wkerr@negia.net

Owen was approximately 5 years old when his parents died. Owen and his sisters were returned to Georgia from Arkansas about this time. The children were placed with various family members and friends. Owen and his sister Gus Tina (my grandmother) went to live with Nathaniel August Nuckolls (a bachelor) in Forsyth County, GA. Owen was enrolled in Bethel Public School in Forsyth County, GA in1902. He lived in Buford, GA for most of his adult life. He was a foreman for the Bona Allen Manufacturing Company in Buford, GA. He married Margaret Crow and they had two daughters, Dorothy Grace and Mildred Irene. Shortly, after Mildred's birth, her mother died and is interred in the Buford City Cemetery. He then married Annie Montgomery who cared for both his daughters. Owen usually signed his name as O. T. Nuckolls on most of the documents which I have found. He was known to everyone as "Bud" Nuckolls and I knew him as "Uncle Bud".

[NI01015] James Alexander Nuckolls had moved his family to Georgia from Virginia by 1830. In the 1830 Census he was located in Hall County living with his wife, Ann Burruss Nuckolls and their eight children, Clarenda, Mary Louisa, Joel Thomas, Harriet E., Lafayette & Alexander, Anna Terry and John Milton. All
of these family members were born in Virginia.

James Alexander is the son of Thomas and Ann Terry Nuckolls of Louisa County Virginia. Thomas Nuckolls died in 1823. At the time of his death he was a fairly wealthy man who had deeded a good bit of his property to his children. James Alexander sold his property and came to Georgia. The talk around Virginia was that Georgia had good land to grow crops and feed the family. When James arrived, he quickly acquired some property from the "1832 Gold Lottery Land'. He was a winner and so settled down to raise a family. Ann and Alexander had three more children in the following years. James G. Lafayette, Virginia and Georgia, knows as the twins. Ann died in 1858 from unknown causes. Alexander had moved to Forsyth County by this time and so she is buried on the land where they used to reside. Alexander never remarried.


The Nuckolls family can be found in many records in Forsyth County where they lived and played. They were members of several different churches and had a good bit of land. The Nuckolls children lived in several different counties in Georgia. I have found them in Gwinnett, Hall, Cherokee, Muscogee, Catoosa, Whitfield and Forsyth. This family is easy to locate in records because of the unusual name and the fact that they owned land. They were God-Fearing people and can be found in the church registers where they lived.

James Alexander Nuckolls died in Whitfield County in 1875 and is buried alone on property that used to belong to the family. His will can be found in the Court Records of Whitfield County. His descendants today still live in these counties. Some migrated to Alabama and on to the West. The family is a large one. The immigrant ancestor is James Nuckolls who arrived in Virginia by the mid 1600's in New Kent County Virginia.

Winners in the 1832 Gold Land Lottery
The following winners in the 1832 Gold Land Lottery of Georgia from Hall county are from a copy of the original in the Georgia surveyor General Department, provided courtesy of Elizabeth Johnson. The Georgia Surveyor General Dept. 9330 Capitol Ave., SE, Atlanta, GA 30334) also has the land grants for the lots in northwest Georgia won in this lottery. For qualifications for participating in this lottery, see Robert s. Davis, Jr., Research in Georgia pp. 194-95. Deed where the winners in this lottery sold their grants are recorded in the county where the land lay and not necessarily where the seller or buyer resided. For petitions for land lots by heirs of the winners in this lottery see Robert S. Davis Jr., The Georgia Land lottery Papers, 1805-1914.

Information is reproduced below as follows: name of winner/district in Hall county where the winner resided/ lot won in original Cherokee County (present day northwest Georgia) in the form of lot-district-section. A state-wide list of the winners in this lottery is The 1832 Gold Lottery of Georgia. When a name appears twice on the following list, it usually means that the same person won two lots.

James Alexander Nuckols Hall County, Roberts Mil. Dist, Lot/Dist. 268/2, Section 2.

Samuel O. Nuckolls sent a letter to the Lawrenceville Post Office in 1830-1833 and the letter remained there April 1, 1831.

James Alexander began purchasing land in Forsyth County in 1834 (always listed as Alexander with various spellings of Nuckolls. One deed has three different spellings in the same deed!!!)

I have confirmed that he owned the following land lots:940,965,936,354,355,388, 387, 540, and 1086 in the 14th district 1st section and I have only gotten through the year 1844. Source Adrian Hopkins

Beaver Ruin Baptist Church, pastor A.B. Nuckolls.
I extracted some records from the book years ago...at that time did not know who John M. was or how related....was looking for Thornton's. they were attending the same church. In my notes I have Alexander Nuckolls, Nancy Nuckolls, Harriett (Nuckolls) Tate, John M. Nuckolls and six slaves of Alex Nuckolls as being members of this church listed in BK "1" 1835-1873 showing the year they joined.

Through the Whitfield Historical Society today, I found Reita Childers. She has pictures of Alexander's grave and that is located on a plot of land by itself. His resting place is across the street from where his home was supposed to be. He owned over 1,000 acres of land in Georgia when he died.

Plantation Estate in Whitfield County is known as "Dogwood Valley."

Mrs. Whitman Till writes in her papers that George Bias Nuckolls, a lawyer, left VA after his mother's death in 1833.

Next, he moves to Tuskegee, Macon Co. AL. He served as Sheriff here. He stayed here at least through the Census of 1850.

He then moves to Bossier Parrish, LA before the 1860 Census.

Mary was not listed. She either stayed behind in Al or died. I don't know which yet.

George wrote a letter in Oct. 1860 to a man asking him to become his overseer. In this letter he explains that his health is good but that last Spring, he fell and he has pain in his left side which has left him almost an invalid. Even though the 1860 Census lists Robert Nuckolls as an overseer, he was a Dr. and probably had moved on to ply his trade if his father was seeking help.

Also, his daughter's husband, Dr. Albert G. Harper, was a coroner and Doctor. I would imagine that he tended to George in his illness. At first I was confused by these records, later when I found out that George died in Webster Parish LA, it made sense. Webster Parish was taken from Bossier Parish in 1871. Hence the listing of these properties being the same. When I got the copy of his patent, they only sent me the oldest record, Bossier Parish. The clue was right under my nose and I didn't even realize it. It certainly gives credibility to "Harper Family Book."

The eastern 1/3 of Bossier parish was taken in 1871 to form the western portion of Webster. The old dividing line between Webster and Claiborne was Dorcheat Bayou. The new dividing line between Bossier and Webster is (from the south) Bistineau Lake up to the top of section 16. From Townships 17 through 20 the new boundary is the 10/11 Range line. From townships 21 to the state line the dividing boundary is the Bodcau Bayou. So, anything that was in Bossier Parish from 1843 to 1871 that was
east of this line and west of Dorcheat Bayou is now in Webster Parish. (i.e. The Document #13760, the SW/SW of Section 2, Township 20, Range 10 was in Bossier Parish from 1843 - 1871 and then went into Webster. In fact, all 10 west entries would have also been that way.)

Quotes from the "Harper Family History".
George Bias Nuckolls born 25 Sept. 1805, Louisa County, VA. He was a lawyer, married twice - Myra and Jane Boxley.

"George Bias Nuckolls and Jane Boxley Nuckolls (both died intestate in the Parish of Webster) about 1865. When the Nuckolls property near Cotton Valley and Couchwood was sold, either by design or error, ___ the 40 acre track known as the hog lot was left out of the deed. It was never discovered until the five shallow oil wells were discovered - An effort was made to lease the property. This failed because some of the Nuckolls heirs who lived far away wanted too great an amount and of course no one got anything. About 15 years later, in the late 30's deep oil was discovered. The distant relatives were not consulted but rather a suit was brought to divide the property - The resulting judgement lists the heirs of G.B. Nuckolls."

"Later a producing oil well was brought in on the property and the Nuckolls heirs have been drawing royalty since 1939".

Bossier Parish History
Bossier Parish was created on Feb. 24, 1843, through Act 33 of the Louisiana legislature, signed into law by Gov. Alexandre Mouton. The parish was presumably named for the Louisiana Creole militia general Pierre Evariste Jean Baptiste Bossier. He was born at Natchitoches (pronounced NAK-oh-tush) on March 22, 1797 and died under mysterious circumstances on April 24, 1844.

The parish was formed from Claiborne Parish. Until 1871, it included what are now Webster and Red River parishes. Its boundaries were originally Loggy Bayou to Lake Bistineau to Bayou Dorcheat to the Arkansas-Louisiana state line to the Red River back to the mouth of Loggy Bayou.

The first parish officials, all appointed by Governor Mouton, were William K. Beck, Parish Judge; Robert B. Lowrey, Sheriff; R.H. Hodges, Surveyor; H.M. McFarland, Coroner; and John M. Lawdridge, C. Wallace, William Crowley and J.S.M. Lowery, Justices of the Peace. They were appointed March 9, 1843. The first parish courthouse was at Bellevue and was built by A. Kendall. The first parish Police Jury meeting (akin to a board of county commissioners) was held on June 19, 1843. The first police jurors were William Crowley, President; J.A.W. Lowery, Clerk; James C. Scott, Clerk (through Sept. 4); G.J. Williams; Joseph Graham; William M. Burns; and Isaac Lay. Their first meeting was held at the home of Ezekial Calhoun Long, believed to be near the site of the 1920s-vintage Durden log home on the Bodcau preserve.

The earliest towns and settlements in Bossier Parish were Fillmore, Collinsburg (also called Plainville), Bellevue, Rocky Mount and Red Land. Rocky Mount is site of the earliest church, the Salem Baptist Church. Red Land received the first official post office, however, on Oct. 20, 1846, with Jerome B. Mading as postmaster. The last traces of the village burned on Sept. 18, 1890.

George B. Nuckoles is listed with Township 20 Range 10Section 2 of th land records. He is also nearby again in Section E with two purchases. Both were purchased. He bought the first 2 on Dec 6th 1858, and the other 2 the same date.

His neighbors were the following and I would try to find them as he is probably nearby. These are from the book The First Land Buyers in Bossier -Claibornie Parishes , Louisiana up until the Civil War ny Bill O' Daniel. As Bossier Parish was divided up about that time frame in that part of Bossier as he was near the Alabama settlement I believe as he was near all our families.

There are still Nuckoles (spelled several ways) there. I have several books of cemetery records etc and there are marriages and burials for them. He may have gone to the War as well. Anyhow the neighbors who may be in Claiborne, Bossier or even Lafayette Co., AR which is just a few miles away.

These were all families in the second and third section. I do not have anything on the Claiborne Parish stuff, but checked Webster Parish Cemetery records(the early ones). No luck there.

There are a couple of dozen burials in Bossier Parish in the new book of Cemetery records compiled by Clifton Cardin.

In the Bossier Parish History The first 150 years by Clifton. J.O. Nuckolls was appointed as clerk to Captain NW Sentell and the Bossier Minute Men was formed. Bossier Parish was the first or one of the first communities in the south to declare war on the south They declared war on Nov 26, 1860 in Rocky Mount. A declaration was signed at that time.

[NI01027] Richmond Enquirer 6-7-1831 Vol XXVIII Issue 8 Page 3
Fifteen Dollars Reward-
Ranaway on Friday, the 29th April last, from Stephen T Nuckolls, near Charlotte Courthouse Virginia, a Negro man, Tom, who had on, when he went away, a pair of white yarn pantaloons and coat of the same. Tom is between 35 and 40 years of age; is tall, straigth, and well made; has nearly lost the sight of one of his eyes, from a cause unknown; his hair runs far back on his forehead, which causes him to have the appearance of being bald; is inclined to limp when he walks, and speaks slowly when questioned. Tom was purcahsed of a trader in Richmond about five years ago, who said that he bought him of one Davis, in Frederick County Virginia. He has been hired one year at Weaver's Iron Works, Rockbridge County - I think it probable he is aimed to get to that neighborhood, under a fictitious name. The above reward will be as he has made one attempt to get there, as a free man, paid on the delivery of said slave, or to any person who shall secure him in Jail, so that he can be obtained by Stephen T Nuckolls, it taken out of the county of Charlotte, if in Charlotte, $10 only.

Last Will and Testament of Stephen Terry NUCKOLLS

I Stephen T Nuckolls of the county of Macon and State of Alabama being of sound mind and disposing memory do make this my last will and testament as follows to wit:

1st I wish all my just debts paid 2nd I wish all of my estate equally divided among my sons and daughters namely, Frances Marion Nuckolls, Thomas Anderson Nuckolls, James Byars Nuckolls, Anna Elizabeth Nuckolls, Marsha Candes Nuckolls, Catharine Minor Nuckolls, Maria Novel Nuckolls to them and to the heirs of their bodies forever. But if either of them who shall have a due proportion of my estate according to this my will shall die without a legal heir of his or her body then the property to revert back to those my legal heirs who have received a due proportion. But if either of my children shall marry contrary to my wishes whose name I shall write and underneath write veto the same shall not
receive any portion of my estate from first to last.

Martha C. Nuckolls

--th (?) I constitute all of my sons VETO to this my last will and testament whereunto I have set my had & seal this eight day of June in the year of our Lord 1852.

Stephen T. Nuckolls

Witnesses:
Richard Strafford
John Bsdell (?)

There is a letter attached to the will explaining the FEUD between the Nuckolls family and CORBETT family. Martha C. Nuckolls (listed as VETOED) married Dr. Corbett. Later Dr. Corbett bought the land that had belonged to Stephen T. Nuckolls. It seems that Frances M. Nuckolls who was the executor of the estate of Stephen Nuckolls administered By-passing the will and going their own route, allowed Martha a share in the estate. Frances was married to Martha Drum who only lived a short while and died of fever. That part of the county was infected with Malaria. As we understand in the records seen. Dr. Corbett's sister was Martha's mother. In Mr. Drum's will he states and emphatically that the husband of his deceased daughter will in no way ever share in his estate. However when Martha married at a later date than Stephen's will, Stephen gives his consent. We can only suppose that the "fences were mended."

After the Corbett's bought the Nuckolls land there is no other mention of them anywhere in the county records. Odd.

Stephen is buried at Hardaway, Ala. having died 4 Mar. 1858 - There is no indication that his wife, Maria, is buried beside him. Since the 1850 census indicates no wife, could she possible never have resided in Macon County. There was Nuckolls in your area and this is in theory only - could she have died in Georgia?

In 1858 - no date no document other than 1858 - Catherine V. Nuckolls was not married and was of age and resided in Macon County, Ala. At the date of final settlement - 25 Feb.

1861 she was married to A.B. Thornton and he residence was Catoosa County, Ga - There is no marriage record in Macon County, AL of her marriage: however the one records of her sisters having married there - Could Stephen T. and Maria have migrated through Georgia and had connection in your area and Catherine V. went back to be married. I have found it was customary for the license to have, been issued in the bride's home county but of course there are always exceptions .

A brother of Stephen T. Nuckolls - James Alexander Nuckolls c. 20 Sept. 1875 is buried in Whitfield Co., GA

Another brother Nathaniel Nuckolls m. in 1836 to Louisiana Thornton he was in the Lumpkin Co. GA as early as 1828 Since his wife was a Thornton, it is very likely there was a connection.

In the loose papers in the Court House in Macon Co. Ala. there is a record of my grandfather - Francis Marion Nuckolls - having been guardian of his youngest sister - Maria (Nuckolls) Zuber - and upon her marriage there is a receipt for the final distribution of the estate of Anderson Trice - My guess was that Anderson was the father of their deceased Mother - Maria Trice Nuckolls -

I failed to find any record of the initial proceedings of this guardianship and wondered if these could have been established else where and transformed to Macon Co., Ala. Upon the family moving there - I found no other Trice entries in the real property or marriage indexes. etc.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Whitman Nuckolls Till, Nuckolls Society Member

Found another marriage on Samuel O. Nuckolls. It was to Mary Thompson. It was listed in Vol. 113 for May 18, 1848. PROBLEM WITH THE DATE HERE as former wife did not died until 1856. We feel certain this should be 1858

Early Land Record shows that he bought about 160 acres in the Meridian-Huntsville area of Alabama. June 21, 1857 is the date listed.

[NI01030] To highlight the life of Thomas and Ann Nuckolls's oldest son, James Duke,we begin with his first marriage on February 13, 1809 to Frances S. Thomasson. She was the daughter of John, Sr. and Frances Cooke Thomasson

Frances Thomasson Nuckolls was the mother of three known children: Elizabeth D. who married February 23, 1842, John J. Watkins, son of James and Mary Watkins; John B. who married July 8, 1833, Mary -Ann Rennolds,
daughter of Reuben and Elizabeth Taliferro Rennolds; Martha Ann who married October 24, 1831, Edmund Nuckolls.

James Duke Nuckolls married secondly, March 28, 1821, Martha (Patsy) Bullock, daughter of David Bullock and Jane Terry.(6) The 1850 Census show James and Patsy to be 64 years of age with two small children living in their household; George 7 years old and Samuel 4. These two young children were probably siblings of their daughter, Martha Ann Nuckolls, and her deceased husband, Edmund Nuckolls. In June 1837, James Duke Nuckolls and his wife, Martha, sold their home and farm near Fredericks Hall to Robert S. Cosby, "....... land on which he presently resided" for $2,125.50.

James Duke then purchased and moved to the Yanceyville Mill property. The land tax shows that new buildings were added to the 249-acre parcel Cosby purchased of James Duke Nuckolls. Considering the addition of "new buildings", several questions arise to which there seems to be no conclusive answer. Could the one standing chimney adjacent to the present house have been the original house? Did Robert Cosby build the present house and the older one became his slave quarters? The land tax shows no change from James Duke Nuckolls's ownership to that of Robert S.Cosby's even though new buildings were added. In 1838, Robert S. Cosby received a letter from his brother in Walton, Georgia. In it he says, "...you informed me that you had bought Duke Nuckolls out on account of your growing family and can you make a Support on it no you can't and pay your taxes and midwife fee. Sell out and come to this country. Here is the place for growing families... " Tell sisters if they are not married to marry some body that will start right to Georgia.

It is not known where James Duke and Frances lived from 1809 until they took up residence on the 249 acres his father purchased of Frederick Harris, Jr. Records indicate James's first wife had died by the time Thomas actually conveyed the land on Little River to his son, James Duke.

VIII (8) Nathaniel Nuckolls, b. NOV. 26, 1800, Louisa Co. Va.; farmer and mechanic: " In 1828, a rather peculiar town grew on the high ground between the Etowah and Chestatee rivers in what is now Lumpkin Co., Ga. As the story goes it was 1828 Benjamin Parks, of Dahlonega was deer hunting, absently kicked at a rock on a hillside. The rock was a chunk of quartz gold in pockets or lodes. His find was so rich in gold that it was yellow like yolks of eggs. First settler was a man named Dean. Then an enterprising gentleman named Nathaniel Nuckolls opened a tavern near by. This town was first called Dean's, then Nuckollsville, finally Auraria (Gold), in 1832 the scene of Ga's. first gold rush, was named by John C. Calhoun, owner of a nearby mine. Auraria and Dahlonega were the two real gold towns in the U. S. before 1849. Located in the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills, Dahlonega became the site of the first Gold Mint built by the U. S. Gov't (1836). From 1832 to 1861 more than $4o million worth of gold was mined here." " There is still one place in the U. S. where you can redeem a dollar bill for gold: if you pan it yourself. In the mountain streams of Dahlonega in north Ga. for a $i fee, tourists are shown how to pan gold and allowed to keep all they get (usually more than a dollar's worth." The will of Nathaniel Nuckolls recorded in Muscogee Co., Ga., Oct. 5,1868, and copied on the records of Cherokee Co., Ala. (at Centre, Ala.), in 1911 ; gave to each of his 4 sons and to each of his 7 daus., farins valued at six thousand dollars each.

Told by daughter Elizabeth Ann Terry Nuckolls around 1918
My father, Nathaniel Nuckolls, son of Thomas and Anne Nuckolls, was born on the lOth oct., l8OO, in Louisiana County, Virginia, at the old Nuckolls homestead. He was his father's fifth child. Two brothers, Duke and Alexander and two sisters, Lucinda and Mary, older than he was. He was converted and Joined the church when he was elghteen years old. He and his older brothers worked on the farm while they were wlth their father. In those times unless a person had a good many slaves, the sons of the house worked at farm, or any other work there was going on. The second oldest son, Alexander, had married and moved to Hall county, Georgia. He had a farm, and worked that, besides belng an excellent carpenter, worked in any kind of wood work, blacksmith's work, etc. When father was twenty-one, he was told that he was free to go to work for himself. He had very little education but concluded to go to work until he made somethlng for himself, trusting to leisure times to improve himself in learning. His father approved of his determination to go south and Join his brother. so gave him a good horse, a fine saddle and brid1e, and saddle bags, and his loving mother filled those saddle bags with good clothes. His father then gave him one hundred dollars in money and good advice, and bade goodbye to them, and started on his long horseback ride to Georgia. He never saw his parents again. He could hear from them by letter, but felt that he could neither spare the time nor the money to visit them .He had set out to hard work to make a fortune, and felt that he could not indulge in expensive gratification. When he arrlved at his brother's and was welcomed by all, he soon set In to work, commrnced at the cooper's trade, made tubs, casks, etc. The next work was wagon making, in that work he must have irons to use in strengthening the wagons, so he had to take up blacksmith's work. Finlshing his lessons in wagon mak1ig, he determined to learn the blacksmith ' s work to the finest that anyone could wlth hammer and forge. He got on with it so well, that he could do anything he tried to do even to the making a key to fit a lock. The small mechanics mastered, he wanted to go up higher, so set into plain house building. He had sold his horse, so bought himselt a fine set of tools. He kept busy at the house buildlng improving so that he tried for better jobs, finally got in with some fine house builders. Then he struck his talent, went rlght on up, worked steadily, studing every part of the work seeklng to make improvements till he got to have self-confidence enough to strike out for himself , got jobs of his own planning, got help, economized, saved up his money, bought a fine negro carpenter, named Edmond, in this way of steady faithtul work and saving his money, he was able to buy other negroes to help him. The next bought was a man with a fami1y, "Charles" was an excellent man. Father hired out Charles' wife to good people, so with Edmond and Charles of his own and some cheap men, he worked on. He told me that he built the first fine court-house In Cartersville. I don't remember, but it was a town in upper Georgia. He worked on at his house building for several years, made money. bought negroes and land, kept out all of evil habits, took care of his workmen, saw to it that they kept out of mischef, The land that he bought was in Elbert County. In his building business he had drifted down to Elbert, found plenty of work there,
also a good piece of land whlch he bought and put all necessary buildings on it for farm purposes, put his negroes on it that he did not have at the trade, to work a small farm .He wanted to have a home, to stay at when he was not out at work, so he built a small dweling house. Soon after that the building business nearby slacked up, and seelng that he could make it pay, he bullt a small store house, got in a few goods to try his luck on.
Being a very cautious fellow, he didn't intend to take any risk in the dark. After several months' experience he saw that it would be safe to put in a larger stock of goods, and also hearing of building work that would take him some distance from home, he sent for a young brother who wanted to come south, to come and take charge of his store, having put the workmen in the farm, they had got it in good shape so that he could leave all in care of his brother. So, he went to the building work again, got on well with it, was saving up his money, as the farm and store were prospering also. He had been at work for nearly aix years, faithfully and cautiously, and feeling that he was in a safe position to marry, begun to look for a nice girl. He felt that he had tried to be such a man as might attract such a girl as he would like to have. Mother and grandmother told me that father was a fine looking man, was tall and straight, fine figure, very fair complexion, but always red cheeks and lips. (I don't remember having ever seen him pale), jet balck hair and very blue eyes. He was always neat, even in every day clothes, he kept nice fashionable clothes for "Sunday go to meetin" as the saying of old folk was. He was proud, had self respect, and associated with the best people, was ambitious, too, and in a short time, learned good manners. It was not long before he became known. He looked bout and soon found the girl (Louisianna Thornton) that he liked, fell in love with, made it his business to make himself known to the family, and as there were two grown sons, he pretty soon became acquainted with the whole family, and won the favor of the young lady. They married late in the year of 1826. He remained in Elbert for a dew years. In that time, grandfather had moved to Columbus, when grandmother went to see them she took me, the oldest child home withher, and that was a relief to father, as well as to mother, she being so young she didn't know just how to manage with several little ones, but father was doing his part. He had taken me in hand and trained my habits so that I did not give much trouble but he was really glad for grandmother to haveme, she was very firm, but loving me as she did, there was no danger of unkindness to her previous charge, and mother was satisfied.
Father was very fond of music, in his young days, he was a fine singer. He bought a good flute, and learned to perform on it and after he and mother married, he and she had music, she singing and he blowing the flute, and by her singing with his playing he learned a great many beautiful pieces. When I was twelve years old, I was taking music lessons and he was so delighted with the piano that he had me teach him all the first rudiments and he got so he could play a good many simple pieces. After I grew up he would play on his flute accompanying the piano. Of course, I enjoyed it as much as he did. He was strict, but he enjoyed the family.
In 1832, father concluded to move to Cherokee, it being a good money making country. There was prospect of gold being found, a small mine was already in operation. Father bought stock in that, also bought a samll body of land already in cultivation, put his strongest hands to dig in the mine and the balance on the farm which was joining the mine land, so had everything at work. When the mine gave out, father turned his attention to building, he and Mr Pascal had already built a tavern, as Hotled or Inns were called then, it was a "Stage Stand", a place where passengers of the regular stage coach, could get lodging and meals at passing times. Mother and Mrs pascal lived in it and took the care of the house. Father built all sorts of houses, dwelling houses, a meeting house for preaching when they could get one, a preacher, built a school house, had already built a woodwork shop and blacksmith's shop. Mother was getting tired of the Tavern business, it was too much publicity for her retiring nature, so father built a dwelling house for himself and a store house in the corner of the front yard, filled it with such merchandise as he knew would be salable in that rather rough country, and as he wanted to be free to do any remunerative work that presented itself, he put a good man in his store whose house was next door to mother. The country was being rapidly settled up. The Indian owned lands could be bought cheaper than land usually sold for. Father traded with them, they liked to come to his store to trade, he treated them justly and they had sense to know it. They had a name for him in Indian dialect, I did know it, but have forgotten. (I expect that these Indians were a part of the tribe that were converted by the missionary Dozier Thornton, our great-grandfather, while preaching in the Cherokke District)
Father was ambitious to have this little village count for something, so had worked hard in the time he had been there, and it really was coming into notice. The country was new, in a way, the land productive, people moving in, so the little village was getting on a town appearance. The people named it Nuckollsville. As far as I know it is called that now, it was eight years ago. It was getting time for grandmother to make a visit to mother. When she went, I, of course went. I was nearly six years old. She did not stay more than three weeks. When she had been gone for two or three weeks, mother felt worse than ever about being so far from her mother and all of them, so began to beg father to go nearer to her people. Father had begun to feel the somehwat ill effects of such a constant rush of work, so concluded to put his whole business interest in selling shape, as he intended buying in Muscogee County, near Columbus. He succeeded in out of Cherokee, then bought in a small farm near or about two miles of grandfather, also bought a store in Columbus. He moved and got us all comfortable in a small house that was on the farm he bought. There were negro houses there and outbuildings, and father told mother that as soon as he could get his business straight, that he would build her a good house. In the meantime, grandmother had ask to have a better house built. So, as father wanted the job, he sent for one of his young brothers a married man, to come and take a co-partnership in the store, got a trustly young man for clerk, put the farm to rights, then he could get to building again. Now for grandmother's house. She let him plan it for her convenience. When it was finished, she was very much pleased and asked to have kitchen and dairy, then a large garden to be nicely paled in, also front yard, but father never thought that a house was finished without a front porch and front yard paled in. The house was a twp-story house, four rooms below, two above, wide hall down stairs, front and back stairs, back collonade, inside all the closets she wanted. All of her wants filled, he began to get lumber for his own buildings, worked on till he got ready, then he put up all needful buildings finished except his dwelling house. He did not finish it inside, wanted the house to dry and settle so that the plastering woudl not crack, got the house comfortable, and moved into it. Shortly after the move, mother's health became bad, so the house was not finished. She did not get entirely well until fall. In that time, the Indians in Alabama had gone west, father bought land in Russell County, this county was on the Chattapoochee, west side, opposite Muscogee on the east side, the Georgia side. The first thing he did after buying land, was to build a saw mill, to saw lumber for temporary houses for all. When these were finsihed were were moved from Muscogee, and settled in those temporary buildings. I was in my eleventh year, and can remember how everything looked. The family dwelling was built of mill sawed logs, 6 x 10, cracks, what little there was, sealed with weather boarding. It had a nice stick dirt chimney at each end. The kitchen was built of sheeting ( rough edge outside plank, on rough frame) near the dwelling house. It had large wide stick and dirt chimney. I remember that there was a large hole dug and the chidlren, I amongst them, woudl go out there, and get on the planks put to walk across, and do what we called ride up and down. The frogs had got into that hole and any other holding water and in the late evenings would croak, and we mock them, but they would get ahsamed and hush. This hole was where the clay for these chimneys was worked up by putting an ox in and he was made to walk around in the mud, water and sand, to make it smooth so as to have smoothly built chimneys, the fireplace plastered nicely inside and hearths were made of this clay and plaster, and beaten down with a maul to make it firm, then the hearth was kept covered for several days till dry, then all cracks stopped and a slow fire made and in a short time ready for use. There was no brick yard nearer than Columbus, eleven miles. Wh
