Notes

[NI3] From:Izellajane@aol.com
Hi Sandi, the connection is that I am the daughter of Sheldon Sowers,s on of Annie Aaron. I think you have the spelling of the names different. A sa Isaac Aaron was my greatgrandfather born July 1850 according to the cen sus 0f 1900. He was married to Letitia Missouri Motley born June 1852. Ann ie was born August 1882. She had a brother Walter who I don't think ev er married. Annie married John M. Sowers. Later after his death she marri ed Frank Long (not Mr, Hill). Sheldon Sowers married Ruby Brooks.My dad Sh eldon Sowers had his last name changed to spell Sours at the Chatham couth ouse. There is a familey tree on Letitia Missouri Motley . You can fi nd it at Ancestry.com by typing in the name. Martha Nuckols was my great-g reatgrand mother. She was married to Zachariah Aaron the father of Isa ac Aaron.My grandmother Annie spelled her name with 2 a's. She past aw ay in 1960 and was
buried at the familey cementry near Chatham,Va. Sheldon her only child pa st away July 4th 1952.Also in the 1900 census Asa Isaac Aaron spelled h is name with 2a's.

Email from Bill Davis 11/2/2004
At Oscar Nuckols funeral a few weeks ago I learned from Norwood Nuckols th at the future of the Israel Nuckols home in western Henrico County VA is n ot as secure as we had thought. The house has been sold to a developer w ho specializes in "infill" and who originally had planned to squee ze in a few townhouses on the property that surrounds the old house. Th at plan was opposed by neighbors, so the developer is expected to prese nt a new or amended plan to the zoning board next week. According to Norw ood, the old house has no legal protection for its historic value, thou gh it is thought to be one of the oldest dwellings in the count y. It is on only the County Registry, not the National
Registry, and that carries no requirement for preservation. There is a po ssibility that the current owner might be moved to demolish it if he nee ds to make his expected return on the property. Norwood did note that t he deed does contain an easement for family access to the graveyard, and t here are both county and state laws regarding the preservation of burial s ites. Even so, it would be a shame to lose the old house, which has be en estimated to date to the 1790's. Given the current pace of developme nt in the Richmond area and the level of property values, there may n ot be a lot anyone can do. If anyone out there has any ideas on how to g et 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 neighborho od (Graham Meadows just down the road from Nuckols Farm Elementary Schoo l) are currently trying to convince the county to save Israel Nuckols ho me from being torn down to make way for new development. The homesite inc ludes a family cemetery, exterior kitchen building, the home that Mr. Nuck ols acquired in 1849, and a barn. We have been working with Mr. Norwood N uckols to some degree, but if you have any information regarding this ho me that would be helpful to us or if you just want to let the county kn ow that the area should be preserved, it would begreatly appreciate d. We don't want to see the last bit of Nuckols family history in Henri co be destroyed. Thank you.

Just wanted to let you know that we had a meeting tonight with the Henri co County government people (Board of Supervisors representative and Par ks and Recreation representative) and it looks very positive that the Coun ty is going to purchase the Israel Nuckols Farmhouse and turn the proper ty into a
historical park. I am not getting totally excited until the money actual ly exchanges hands, but it looks very very good! So I just wanted to gi ve you that update and I will keep you posted. We should know more in abo ut 2 weeks or so after the next Board of Supervisors meeting. Many Nucko ls family members were there and I think that helped tremendously! Also t he history attached to the land and house and the fact that there is a fam ily cemetery there helped as well. Anyway, just wanted to share the go od news.Thanks! April Sullivan

The Henrico County Historical Society in co-operation with Henrico Coun ty Division of Recreation and Parks,
is planning a 30 Year Anniversary Celebration/ Fundraiser.
Proceeds will benefit the restoration of the Nuckols Farm House, circa 175 0, that is thought to be the oldest surviving structure in Henrico Count y. It was the home of six generation of the Nuckols Family beginning wi th Israel Nuckols.
The event will include food and family entertainment as well as silent auc tions to
raise funding for this worthwhile project.
Admission free.
Retail vendors and non-profit organizations are also invited to participat e.

The Nuckols Farm house is one of the oldest structures in Henrico Count y, dating to 1750. It was threatened with destruction as a result of a pla nned development. The neighborhoods surrounding the property, in partnersh ip with local preservation groups, appealed to the County of Henrico to de velop a plan to preserve this historic site and the property was purchas ed by the County. Future plans call for creating a park with possible u se of the house as a museum.

The purpose of this benefit is to help restore the Nuckols Farm House a nd property as an example of a rural way of life that is fast disappeari ng from the landscape in Henrico County. The Nuckols Farm was once a dair y. In the early 1900's Henrico County was a leading dairy producer in t he country. Today there are no dairy farms in production in Henrico County .

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

BUILDING TRADE HAS UNTOUTED PAUL BUNYAN by Robert C Ruark
Anthoston Ky- Every time I read in the papers about the muddle in housi ng I get to thinking about I C Nuckols, a craggy old man who don't even ne ed 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 a ny. Mr Nuckols just rares back and hits that old nail with his bare han d, wham, liek that, and it sinks in right up to the head.
Mr Nuckolls' particular skill has made him famous locally for many ye ars becasue very few people seem to be able to drive nails through one-in ch 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 ju st 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 m ade him millions of dollars and no law could touch him. However, as a pu re artist, Mr Nuckols has been content to employ his rare talent for go od at small profit. He won't bet you he can't do it, he just hits the na il on the head.
I went to call of Mr Nuckols recently at his 54-acre farm outside Ant hoston. He raises spotted Poland-China hogs there when he is not driving n ails through boards, and iit is a right pretty place. Mr Nuckols is burl ey 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 w ho 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 h ad come in to see weather it was true about him, and that he would be plea sed to demonstrate. He led us down past the spring and the chicken yard a nd picked out a stout poplar plank. He spotted a big thick nail in anoth er board buried in deep and he had to use a claw-hammer for extractio n. He poised the big nail on the plank, rared back, and drove her clear th rough with one smack.
Mr Nuckols said he came by his unique talent when he was a boy ba ck in Virginia. He sadi it was raining on day and he was setting in the ba rn, 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 A rm & Hammer soda.
It just came to Mr Nuckols then and there that if a man went at it ri ght, he could drive nails into boards without a hammer, and he start ed to practice. It wasn't long before he became the marvel of the countrys ide. Mr Nuckols has never told anyone the secret of his knack. He cradl es it as closely as we watch the atom-splitting formula. But he says nothi ng is impossible if a man has two things.
"All a man needs to do anything he wants to do, " Mr Nuckols says, dr agging at his long-stemmed pipe, "is self-confidence and a made-up mind. T hat's what I tell the children nowadays --- they don't even need book-lear ning if they've got self-confidence and a made-up mind."
Driving back from Mr Nuckols house, I started to brood about Mr Nucko ls formula. It sounded familiar, if phrased a little differently. Then I r emembered: Bernard M Baruch had said that the main thing wrong with the na tion right now was indecision based on that uncertainity, a mass hesitati on due to a fuzzy future. Mr Baruch never drove a nail with his bare ha nd in his life, but he and Mr Nuckols share a basic formula. There is n ot 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 fami ly genealogy, I came across your information on the Nuckols Regiment of Ha nover County, Virginia. The reason I am so interested is that I fou nd an entry listed for a Thomas Nuckols of Company G. Son of Jane Woods on and Israel Nuckols. I think that this Thomas Nuckols is my Great-Grand father. Do you have any additional information that you would feel comfor table sharing? My Great Grandfather's name was Thomas Bagby Nuckol s. He was born around 1835 or 1836 in Virginia. All I knew from my Grand father's stories was that this Thomas Bagby Nuckols served in the Virgin ia Cavalry during the Civil War. He was captured and paroled. He
left Virginia a number of years after the Civil War, and settled near West phalia, Kansas. My Grandfather-Arthur Sankey Nuckols was the youngest s on of Thomas Bagby Nuckols, and the only child to be born outside of Virgi nia as the story was told to me. This Thomas Bagby Nuckols died someti me around 1910, and is buried in a cemetery near Westphalia, Kansas. H is wife (don't remember her name) and two sons are also buried ther e, as I recall.

Pg 410 Dr Marvin E Nuckols, Richmond, VA

Dr. Nuckols traces his ancestry through paternal and maternal lines to ear ly emigrants in Virginia from England and Scotland, being connected with t he families of Gray, Woodson, Jordan and Morrison. His great-grandfathe r, Jacob Woodson, was a soldier of the revolution, and many men of eminen ce in the state are descendants of these emigrants.
Dr. Marvin E. Nuckols was born in Henrico county, Virginia, August 2, 187 6, son of Jacob Woodson Nuckols, a farmer of Henrico county, noted for h is energy and upright honest life. He married Mildred H. Jordan, daught er of Obadiah and Jane (Morrison) Jordan. Jacob Woodson Nuckols, born Ju ly 30, 1836, died September 11, 1910, was a son of Israel and Jane (Woodso n) Nuckols.
Marvin E. Nuckols spent his early life on the farm and bore thereon his fu ll share of the farm labor. He built up a strong body and character in th is out-of-door life, that when he was transferred to the busier, more exci ting scenes of life were strong bulwarks of defense against insidious atta ck. He obtained a good education without difficulty, passing through the p ublic schools to Richmond High School, where he was graduated with the cla ss of 1894. He had decided upon the medical profession and after leaving h igh school entered the University College of Medicine, whence he was gradu ated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine, 1897. He was ambulance surge on at the City Hospital, Richmond, one year, then began private practi ce in that city, and there continues, a skilled, highly regarded physici an and surgeon. From 1898 to 1913 he was a teacher at the University Colle ge of Medicine, the last three years of that time professor of operative s urgery.
He is a member of several professional societies, Phi Chi fraternity, t he Westmoreland Club; is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church a nd in politics a Democrat. His vacations are spent in the open air so f ar as possible, hunting being the form of sport he most enjoys, and the mo de of relaxation most helpful.
Dr. Nuckols married, June 17, 1903, Alice, daughter of George and Edmon ia Dawson, granddaughter of Preston and Selina Dawson, and of Edmund C. a nd Elizabeth Christian, a descendant of Major Edmund Christian, of Creight on, 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.

Although not proven this is the same Nathaniel who married Ann Jones, it is the only Nathaniel who spelled his name with one "L" in this time period.

Evidence used to support he was the father of George and Richard:
All of the Nuckols were originally from Hanover, and Louisa Co. They mig rated to the other counties from these 2. In 1820 I have every census rec ord from every Nuckols, Nuckolls, Nickols, Nuckles, etc from both of the se counties. As I find them in the database, I cross them off of my cens us 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, pg5 9. 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 sometimes common practice.

strong circumstancial evidence. We have enough to support a very strong theory.

[NI209] This will was transcribed by Clarence C. Nuckols, a descendant, from a co py of the original at Hanover County Courthouse Va. Will and Deed Book 6 P age 14
Sept. The 14th 1881
This is my last will revoking all others I have heretofore made. Aft er my death I wish my son William B. Cocke, or his heirs to have five hund red dollars of my estate. It will not make him equal with Julian in wh at came by me, because Julian had all of Andys part of the land. Ben h ad a third part before Andy was killed, and all that mother left me went i nto Julians hands but I wish him to have the most because he has taken ca re of me and been very kind, I therefore wish him to have everything el se I have to do with it, just as he pleases, as long as he lives. After h is death, I want it equally divided between his four children, Claren ce P, Mary O, Willie A and Ada B. Nuckols. Should Bell be the longest liv er I wish her to remain here and have the full management of everything ju st as she does now, so long as she remains
Julians widow. Should the land be divided, I wish her to remain with t he child that has the house tract, and to be well provided for, so lo ng as she remains Julians widow. Should she marry again, it will then a ll be the childrens, this is my wish.

[NI210] The home on Vontay Rd. in Hanover County that I took a picture of in the s pring of 1999 and scanned and sent to some of my Nuckols relatives and fri ends was not the home of Harden Duke Nuckols as I had thought. When I w as there last year and stopped at the house there was no one home, I inqui red at the house just west of it and was told that Hardin's house was ne xt door. I just returned from another visit to the area and stopped at wh at I thought was Harden's house and the man living there said the house w as built about fifty years ago and he had owned it for twenty some year s. He said that Harden Duke Nuckols place was two driveways east of his p lace. My sister-in-law Carrol and I went there and met Frances Nuckols, t he 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. Nucko ls and now belongs to her husband, the Grandson of Pettus H. Nuckol s. We saw the fenced in cemetery plot out back with tombstones and one la rge cement tomb. The plot is overgrown with poison ivy so we were unab le to photograph any names.

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

Family Bible in Virginia State Archives, Account Number 23825 appea rs to be written by Cecelia Bootwright, wife of Oswald NUCKOLS. "Di ed on the 7th of January early in night--our Beloved Father & Father in l aw, Rev. Hardin Duke NUCKOLS after a lingering illness in the 81st ye ar of his age, his
remains were placed at his desire at his home Ridge Hill, Hanover C o. VA where he died on the South Anna River." I had heard that Oswald liv ed in Hardin's house. There was some kind of mess in settling the esta te with Harden's second wife Frances Duvall. It appeared that Frances w as 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 th at is! As I recall there are at least six documents donated by the Nuck ols families to the Virginia Library.

I now FEEL that Betty is the child of William's first marriage and a fu ll sister to Thomas. There are several small things that lead me to fe ll this way. She just does not fit in with Pouncey and to other boys. No tice that she and her husband William Childress receive land earlier...Wil liam appears as a land owner in the deeds William made to the other kids.

[NI217] 1814 WILL OF WILLIAM NUCKOLS JUNIOR WHO MARRIED ELIZABETH WOODY
Bk21 p545 20 Jan 1814 Goochland Co, VA

In the name of God Amen, I, William NUCKOLS Senr of the County of Goochlan d, 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 Ch urch,] 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 t he deed, this is believed to refer to the William Childress, son-in-l aw 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 oth er sons witnessed this deed of the father.

(In the sentence in which the granting of the land of William Nuckol ls to his son Charles is described as: have given, granted, bargain, alie n, etc. I transcribed the word "enfoeff" as enforce. That is incorrect, t he word is exactly as it was spelled "enfoeff" and in The Random House Dic tionary of the English Language, The Unabridged Edition, copyright 1967 t he definitions are given as "1) to invest with a freehold estate in lan d, 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., Willi am Knight, Samuel and half brother Thomas. The children of the brothers a nd their lines are well known as are the grandchildren (Joseph, son of Pou ncy Sr. was the last holdout!) tho' the grandchildren are mostly born t oo late
anyway to be of consideration here. He marries Mary Hicks in 1775 Late r, after 1800 he marries Frances Ann Jordan.

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

3) Nelson is b. 1783 and marries Polly Reddy in 1811. He is surety to Ove rton (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 Nuc kols (Dau. of Samuel, sister to Nathaniel). Overton is a coomon surname o pf this area in Virginia into which the Nuckols familiy married.

5) Also, there is the connection with the Childress family. Jonathon, s on of Samuel marries Elizabeth Childress, Daughter of William. Benjami n, son of William Knight marries Eliz. Toler. The surety is Spotswood Chil dress who is also surety for Obediah when he marries. The witness for t he marriage of John (son of William Knight) and Elizabeth Nuckols is Richa rd 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 we ll as other males. Despite high infant mortality everywhere most of the N uckols children tended to live into adulthood.

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

8) All of this is occurring in Goochland Co., the stronghold of the 1L Nuc kols until early in the 19th century when they all get married and beg in 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 el se to place these children with except Charles. If William had another s on I think we would know as his history is well known from land records a nd his will as well as other documents signed between or witnessed by h is sons. I don't believe that Nelson, Overton or Obediah are 2Ls as the ir connection is too close to William and his descendents physically and o therwise and the 2 branches of the family had little contact with each oth er in those days anyway

Is this Charles?

The undersigned most respectfully makes application for a head right of 6 40 acres due the heirs of Pouncey Nuckles dec'd, said Nuckles being a res ident citizen of the Republic of Texas in the year ( blank) and continu ed to abide
in Texas until his death, which facts will be showed by (blank) "an d" (blank), witnesses, to whom (unknown, appears to be legal term, abb reviated, perhaps meaning "testimony" ) will be propounded.
J Crosby, Atty for Claimants, Sept 28, 1858

Transcription decifered with the help of Dave Nuckols, President and Ste ve Knuckles who with the help of legal friends were able to determine mo st of the wording. There must be a reason the document is not completed a nd it has never been proven that he was a resident of TX. If he died pri or to 1850 in Alabama, how does he make application for headright in 1858?
Note from tnuckols@austin.rr.com 11/2007
I examined this document in the archives of the Texas General Land Offi ce a few years ago and can confirm that the headright was never granted. T here was a considerable amount of land fraud in the Republic of Texas a nd in the
early years of statehood, so I've always had the feeling this document w as somehow fraudulent.

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

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

MILLER SUMMARY: Other children not mentioned.

Source: "Hobson's Chapel, 18th - Early Century Settlement Along Branch es of Deep Creek, Cumberland-Powhatan Counties, Virginia" by Agnes Evans G ish, Dietz Press, Richmond VA, 1997

I enjoyed this book in that there are details reference the early li fe of those who lived in early Virginia. The families who lived in the se settlements named above, were connected to the Childress family throu gh many of the earliest settlers. Some of whom are listed in this book w ere: Theodrick Carter P91. The Carter family connected to the Hobson's t hru several or more lines and by marriage. Those listed for Carter wer e: Theodrick Carter (named above), Jesse, Thomas, Winneford Hobson Carte r, and
the town named Cartersville.

There was interaction between the Hobsons of this place and the Childre ss (Childrefs) family as seen by deeds, marriages and other original recor ds.

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

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

The Hobsons of Halifax County, VA intermarried with the Childress fami ly 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, d eeds and other legal records were recorded in this Halifax Census as follo ws:

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 are a. Also spreading into other counties of VA. The Estes family of VA had s everal or more connections to the Childress family. Robert Childress marr ied Rachel Estes of whom this branch left many descendants.

[NI235] Notes from Fredwyin Schwendeman 2/2006 fredwyn2@juno.com
I don't know anything further about their descendants, but he was (1)the b rother of Obediah Powell of Amherst Co, VA, (2) the uncle of Samuel Powe ll 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 tra ck of the family for a few years after that. We know from a family Bib le that Obediah Powell's Samuel is the one that came to Kentucky, and the re are records which indicate he is probably the Samuel Powell who spent h is teenage years in Tennessee. While living in Tennessee there are sever al legal records of a young Samuel POWEL and an older Samuel Powel who app eared to be a judge. That is all I know about "other" Samuel Powells.

[NI248] My mother died Wednesday, 25 Jul 2007, at age 97 in Waco, Texas.
I have not yet found a Nuckols who lived longer than 97 years. Her intere st in the DAR started our life long study of the Nuckols family. Surround ed by her brother William Densel Nuckols, two children, several grandchild ren and great grandchildren, she will be buried beside her husband Lansfo rd Cook in the Porter Spring Cemetery near Crockett, Texas. Many membe rs of the Cook family are buried in the very old cemetery. When the Lansfo rd Cook ranch had to be sold a few years back, there was some difficulty b ecause the land had never left the family. Mother spent some time tryi ng to establish a deed for the early Texas land grant. Her work on her o wn Nuckols family had prepared her for this difficult job. For her 84th bi rthday I took Mother to Hanover County, Virginia, where she could read t he name of her grandfather--Samuel Reuben Nuckols--on the monument at t he courthouse.

There was preaching here at this church on Saturday and Sunday and tomorrow is fast day prayer will be held here tomorrow. The people are very good southerns about here and are always glad to see us. I wish to know if you have got your vegetables patches planted. I would like to know who has got you any wood since I left and how you are treated generaly. An write me word if you have drawed provisions and how many times and how much you got at a time. Write how many chickens you have got. I want you to save me some chickens until I get home which wont be long but I cannot tell, that good milk and butter you said you wished I was there to eat. I hope the time wont be long before I shall be with you to help you to eat it, you write me word if Father has got that money from Captain Herndon and Abner Holland if he has not got it you write me word if you need any I will send you some as soon as a good chance offers itself.

Remember me though many miles apart. -be you in my daily Study and Nighty dreams if this war was to end it would not take me long to get home.

You must send me all the news and any thing that will interest me I cannot hear no news here. Give my love to all inquiring friends and tell them to let me hear from them. I would be glad to see all of my old friends once more if it was possible. Tell George Giles that he must write to me and write all the news. You must not grieve yourself so much as you are doing.

In Line For a Fortune
S B Nuckols an Heri to the Montgomery Estate
Has Figured Out His Family Tree and Is Quite Certain His Claim is Regular
Fickle fortune seems to be ready to smile again on Mr Samuel B Nuckols, t he bookkeepper at the Hitchinson Grocery Company. Mr Nuckols red of the va st fortune left by Alexander Montgomery in New York and a branch of his fa mily tree being a Montgomery, he naturally set about to learn if the famil ies were connected. When seen by a reporter for the Herald Saturday, Mr Nu ckols had figured out his family tree and dicussed it at some length wi th the reporter. He said that if Alexander Montgomery and General Montgome ry were brothers, he was quite surr that he would come in for a porti on of the estate. Of the fmily, Mr Nuckols said his great grandfather, Wil liam Scott was a descendant direct from General Montgomery, who lived in H agerstwon Maryland and that William Scott came to Lexington when it w as a frontier town and lived in the block house here for several mont hs as a protection from the hostile indians before moving to his far m. He said that his grandfather Vance married one of Scott's daughters a nd she gave birth to twin children, which she named Montgomery and Alexand er Vance, respectivly. His grandmother was named Sallie Montgomery Vance a nd she was named for Sallie Montgomery who was a sister to General Montgom ery. Mr Nuckols says that he intends to open correspondance with the attor neys who are trying to locat the heirs and if he learns that General and A lexander Montgomery are brothers, he is certainly entitled to some of t he estate and will claim it. Several years ago Mr Nuckols fell heir to sev eral hundred dollars through a relative of several generations remov ed by tracing it up, and he hopes to be as lucky on this occasion, but t he amount will be thousands instead of hundreds.

West Wooding Nuckols, 55, of Virginia Beach died Friday, April 17, 2009. He is survived by his wife, Laurie, and two sisters, Birdie Jean Nuckols and husband, James Corr, and Betsy Fisher, all of the Richmond, area. West is also survived by a niece, Denise Madar of Alexandria; two nephews, Eric Nuckols of Centreville and Daniel Nuckols of Blacksburg; and four grandnieces and grandnephews. He was predeceased by his parents, John Roland Nuckols and Birdie Wooding Nuckols, and his brother, John R. Nuckols Jr. In addition to his human survivors, West was survived by his four-legged "sons," Texas and Chuck, with whom he shared countless hours of companionship and joy. Born Jan. 26, 1954, in Lynchburg, West graduated from Gretna High School and received an associate degree from Central Virginia Community College in computer programming. After initial programming employment with J. Crew in Lynchburg, West moved to Richmond and began a series of programming jobs in the banking and financial services arenas, working both as an in-house programmer and as a contractor to multiple businesses. In 2008, he changed his focus from financial services to health care and began a programming job with Sentara in Virginia Beach. Those who knew West were truly blessed by his winning smile, his quick wit and giving nature. He was an everymanat home with himself and the world. His door was always open and he was happiest when surrounded by music and family or friends. He was a country boy through and through who never forgot his roots nor friends from "back home." Once you were West's friend, you were a friend for life, resulting in a huge network of friends. He devoted Saturday mornings to calling old friends and renewing bonds. With West, every day was special and to be enjoyed--whether it promised a big adventure (a trip to the Caribbean or a Blues Festival) or something simple (a road trip in his beloved Mustang GT convertible with the top down to view fall foliage). He had landed at his dream job with an apartment in walking distance to the beach. He looked forward to summer and hosting droves of friends. Sadly, West's plan to enjoy long walks on the beach with his new puppy Chuck were cut short by a sudden and severe illness. The world is sadder and the sun less bright with his passing. He will be so greatly missed. Graveside services will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 25, 2009, at Straightstone Baptist Church, 4660 Straightstone Road, Long Island. The family will gather with friends immediately following the service. The Christian Children's Fund, 2821 Emerywood Parkway, Richmond, VA 23294, www.christian

[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.

With h im 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 C o, 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 Bo ok # 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.

Richard and Temperance Nuckolls graves. They are on private property wi th 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 f or 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. The re are enough of us descendants from these 2 people that if each of us cou ld 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

[NI697] Surgeon in KY. Married and Had children, according to Bertha's book on page 25.
According to Jean Harrison data, he never married and lived in Paducah, K Y.
According to Ardath Edwards notes, he went to KY, which she took from Berthas book

Bertha's Book shows this Richard born 1790, however I propose strong evidence to show otherwise. Also other evidence to support parentage.
1. 1820 Census of father Richard Nuckolls shows 2 male sons ages 16-18 born 1802-1804 and 3 male sons ages 16-26 born 1794-1804. John Walton born 1798, Lewis Walton born 1800 Starling married Jan 1, 1820 born 1792 but in this grouping. If Richard born 1790 he would have been over 26 years old. Leaves us with 2 sons born William G born 8/15/1804 and Richard born 10/27/1802 fitting perfectly.
2. Fits description of a surgeon in Kentucky
3. Family came to TN in 1792 so 1850 place of birth TN fits
4. Named in fathers will in 1835 , Richard in 1830 Census in Calloway Co, KY
5. No sons remaining in 1830 census , Richard Jr appears in 1830
6. 1840 Census and Tombstone spelled with 2 LL's
7. 2 slaves willed to him by his father in 1835 Allen and Mary probably the slaves ages 26 and 23 in the 1850 slave schedules.
8. Mary Nuckolls, (slave named in fathers will) appears in the 1870 Census of Calloway Co, born c1810 agrees with the name of the female slave in 1870 census. 1870 census Mary born in TN agrees with location with Richard Nuckolls Sr.
9. Nuckolls buried in Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Calloway Co, KY are the descendants of these slaves.

[XI697] Dr Richard Nuckolls is buried in the Nuckolls Cemetery in Calloway Co, KY Located about 100 yards east of road intersection at Wadesboro, in the woods.

[NI720] Goodspeeds History of Tennessee, Hardeman County 1887
John W. Nuckolls, M.D., a well known physician and extensive planter, a re sident of Toone, Hardeman Co., Tenn., is a native of the county where he r esides, born December 7, 1840, the fourth of nine children, eight now livi ng, born to Starling and Narcissa (Whitaker) Nuckolls. The father was of W elsh descent, born in Virginia in 1784, but when a child came to Tenness ee and settled in Robertson County. He was engaged in farming and the mill ing business and was a prominent man of his day. He died in 1860. It is th ought the mother was a native of Lincoln County, Tenn. She was much young er than her husband and died in Hardeman County in 1876. John W. in the fa ll of 1861 entered the Confederate States Army and joined what was kno wn 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, 18 63, and was held as a prisoner of war several weeks in Bolivar, but was fi nally released upon taking the oath of allegiance. December 5, 1867, he ma rried Miss Fannie R. Anderson, daughter of Edward Anderson, of Hardeman Co unty. She was born in 1845, and they are the parents of eight children, s ix now living. Immediately after his marriage he began the study of medici ne, and in 1870-71 attended the Medical College of Nashville, after whi ch he returned home and began practicing in connection with Dr. J. R. Ande rson establishing a drug store at the same time. Dr. Nuckolls dissolved pa rtnership with Dr. Anderson after two years’ connection. He now owns a fi ne residence in Toone valued at $5,000, besides 4,000 acres of land in Har deman and Madison Counties. Dr. Nuckolls is a Democrat in politics and h is 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 J ohn R Anderson, a brother of Frances R. Even though the bio says the part nership was dissolved after two years, the firm was still in business as A nderson and Nuckolls in 1895 Hardeman Co, paying fees to the court for lic ensing.

[NI725] Conversation with DELLA CROWE FOWLER KIRBY (as best she can remember) June, 2008
RE: EXIE CROWE NUCKLES AND MARRIAGE TO VIRGIL NUCKLES
Exie and Virgil were married in Lexington, NC; they had a double wedding with his niece, Nellie. Virgil had a sister Hattie who was the mother of Nellie and another sister Florrie or maybe Florence (who might have been called Flo). After their marriage, they lived in Morganton, NC. Virgil had an upholstery shop and Exie did baby sitting. They then ran a boarding house in Morganton. They sold the boarding house and rented a house. Next, the moved to Roanoke, VA and bought a house there. They then sold this house and bought a trailer. Virgil was still doing upholstery work. Supposedly, they (or Virgil) wanted to look at moving to Ashville, NC area. Around this time, Virgil took Exie to visit her mother and family in Lenoir, NC; all she had were the clothes on her back and whatever she packed in her suitcase. He went back to Roanoke and hooked up the trailer with all its contents and took off with some woman he apparently had been seeing on the side; apparently the woman had told him she was pregnant. He was supposed to pick up Exie and, of course, he never did; when she returned to Roanoke on her own, she found the trailer and Virgil were gone. This was probably early 1950's. Apparently, his family did not know where he had gone.
Exie had several miscarriages and, of course, never had any children. It was said that during their marriage, Virgil had made passes at Doris, who was one of Exie's younger sisters.
Some 21 years later, Virgil returned to NC and came to see Exie. He had been living in or near Washington, DC with some lady. He wanted to remarry Exie (she had obtained her divorce some time after he left). This would be some time in the 1970's since Exie's mother was still living at the time and very opposed to Exie having anything to do with Virgil.
They did not marry and did not live together but did keep in touch. Virgil had TB and EXIE took care of him until his death. He left a Will leaving most of his assets to EXIE and requested that she send a sum of money to the lady he left behind in Washington which she did. Apparently, the lady was not too happy with the sum of money she was left but EXIE gave what the Will directed.Virgil's mother lived in Winston Salem; sometime after Virgil left, she became ill and Exie cared for her until her death. Exie went to nursing school after Virgil left her. She was working for Mrs. Wilson (wife of some of the furniture people -Bernhardt family) who encouraged her to go into nursing.

[NI737] Murdered by Tories for his devotion to liberty, Dec 11, 1780 buried on Wh ig Hill SC He and his son had travelled to McKown's Mill and while his s on slept, he was murdered.

In 1767, John Nuckolls, Sr, bade farewell to his Virginia home, put wif e, children, and all their belongings on horses and turned their faces tow ard Carolina. Arriving at Kings Mountain they ascended to the summit of t hat noted peak, and made a cup of tea. The cups, saucers, and spoons us ed are now in possession of Samuel Littlejohn, Jonesville, S. C., w ho is a great-grandson. While here at Kings Mt. their daughter Susan w as born, who afterward married Charles Littlejohn. As soon as circumstanc es would permit the journey was continued until Whig Hill was reached, whe re a halt and settlement was made. The famous white rose was brought alo ng and we suspect that not many days elapsed until it was planted whe re it was destined to grow for three quarters of a century. It grew at di fferent 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 Virgin ia). Whenever a member of the Nuckolls Family went out to build a home f or themselves, scion or cutting was taken from this rose bush and with t he most scrupulous care it was planted and cultivated as a precious heirlo om of ancestry.
John Nuckolls Sr was Commissioner of Election in 1776; The natural inferen ce is that as rapidly as conditions would allow, comfortable buildings we re erected, the forest felled, and converted into fruitful field s. In a short time, considerable property was accumulated, including sever al negros. Thus by indomitable energy and industry, John Nuckolls was ma king his Carolina domain more and more productive and beautiful, when t he storm of the American Revolution burst upon the country.
Though of English descent, John at once threw himself wholly intothe cau se of Independence; in fact he became such an unflinching and uncompromi sing 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 as it may, it was a compliment that lives to this day. As to the battl es he was in and the service he rendered, unfortunately, we know nothin g; but we feel safe in saying that whenever and wherever, duty demanded i t, John Nuckolls was equal to the occasion.
The greatest suffering inflicted on the Whig settlement was by thievi ng Tories, with which the country was infested. One of these gangs, comm anded by Patrick Moore, made their headquarters at Fort Anderson, or Thick ety Fort,on Goucher Creek. Another was down on the Enoree. From these poi nts, they would sally out and seize what they wanted to carry off, and d estroy the balance. Whig Hill was not immune to these depredations.
A number of these raids were made, but perhaps the most noted one was ma de in 1780. They made a clean sweep. The only bed left for the younge st child was a sheep-skin used for a saddle blanket. It was, probably at t his time when they were shooting stock, breaking up furniture, and rippi ng open feather, that Mrs. Nuckolls, woman-like, began tongue lashing th em. One of the dastardly scoundrels struck at her head with a sabre, and t hrowing up her arm to ward off the blow, received a wound, which le ft a scar that she carried to her grave. On another occasion the raiders c ame and "Aunt Agathy", an old colored slave, grabbed the axe, and placi ng herself behind the front door, threatened to kill the first one who t ried to enter. Not one of the contemptible cowards made the effor t. It is said that there is a bond between the descendants of Mrs. Nucko lls and those of "Aunt Agathy" that grows as the years go by.
Owing to the nature of the service in upper Carolina, the patriot soldi ers could get off and visit their homes until necessity arose when they w ould come together again at some appointed place. Early in December, 178 0, John Nuckolls thus visited his home at Whig Hill. Finding the meal t ub empty, he,in company with his little son, John, went to McKown's mi ll on Broad River at, or near the Ninety-nine Islands. It is said th at in those days, millers provided a room, either in the mill, or in the ir own house, to accommodate customers when they were detained over nigh t. McKown was a Tory, and being acquainted with Nuckolls, saw his opportun ity. Pretending that he could not grind for him until the next day, with a pparent kindness, he gave him the room for a lodging place.
Night coming on, McKown went out and gathered a band of his ilk, and t hey came to the room where Nuckolls was quietly sleeping. Arousing hi m, they said, "We've come for you." He knew what that meant. he asked per mission to awake his son, so he could give some messages for his peop le at home. They refused and said that if he awoke him, they would kill h im also. They took Nuckolls a short distance from the mill, and prepar ed to shoot him. He asked that they would give him five minutes in whi ch to pray. This was granted, and he prayed aloud. After he had utter ed a few petitions, a villain by the name of Davis said: "If he continu es praying that way much longer we will not be able to kill him," and fi red a ball through his head. The body was thrown into a hole where a tr ee had blown up and some brush was placed over it.
Some months afterwards, an old woman in the neighborhood found his bone s. They were gathered up by his family and taken to Whig Hill and burie d, The grave is encased in hewn granite slabs three feet high, and is enti rely covered with a marble slab, three feet by six. The slab contains t he following inscription: 'In memory of John Nuckolls, Sr., who was murder ed by the Tories for his devotion to liberty, the 11th day of December, 17 80, in the 49th year of his age. Rest noble patriot, Rest in peace The pr ize you sought Your county won'
Some years later, a speech was delivered on Whig Hill, saying something l ike this; 'After all, who would not covet such a death? Dying for the cau se of liberty; dying addressing the Creator in such pathetic tones as to t ouch the feelings of a heartless murderer. O, John Nuckolls, dost thy sain ted spirit hover about us? Noble husband, father, hero, martyr; we have as sembled on this place of thine earthly habitation to honor thee,' etc.
Not many months after Nuckolls' death, Davis, his murderer, with some o thers, were lurking in Thickety bottoms, near Whig Hill, where they were s ecreting plundered booty, consisting of cattle, horses, valuables, etc. So me alert Whigs caught them and to Davis and a few others, their just deser ts were soon meted out to them. Going to the house of Mrs. Nuckolls, the W higs asked for pick and shovel, saying that they were going to settle h er some new neighbors. She said she "hoped they would be good neighbors ." They told her that they "would guarantee them to be quiet ones." Dav is reaped what he sowed. He deliberately shot Nuckolls and soon after w as 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 Fr eedom. He was of dark complexion and very curly hair, and is said to ha ve had an unusually large skull."

NUCKOLS Land grants before the Revolution.

(#2) John NUCKOLS, 289a & 211a on Pacolet River in 96 Dist. S.C. 28 June 1 774.
" , 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 gra nt of 136 a on Thicketty Creek 4 July 1785.

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

(#4a) Now whether all of these were his children, I am unable to stat e. I do know at the time, land was allowed according to the size of the fa mily and 100a for the husband, 50a for the wife and 50a more for each depe ndent child or other persons residing in the house......also often a man r eceived extra land in payment for some service to the Crown..I have data t hat John NUCKOLLS was a Justice of the Peace and some of the land may n ot have been for dependents but as payment for service.

(#4b) James NUCKLOR is evidently a mistake and an error in the Council Jou rnal...Each plat for John NUCKOLS refers to his asking for a grant of 80 0a on 6 April 1773....I have checked every entry in the Council Journal f or that date and the dates preceding and after and James NUCKLOR is the on ly semblance to the name and it was for 800a, hence I decided the cle rk in making the entry made an error.
(professional researcher notes)

(#5) John NUCKOLS, a plat for 289a of land surveyed by James WOFFORD 20 th day of April 1773 according to a warrant for 800a of land made to Jo hn NUCKOLS in the Council and this was all the free land to be found he re and surveyed 289a on Mitchell Creek of the Fairforest on a line sa id 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 Jam es WOFFORD upon a warrant for 800a issued to John NUCKOLS by Council dat ed 6 April 1873 and his being all the vacant land to be found here, 21 1a on south Pacolet River adjacent to the land of Martin Fifer, John Lyo n, & David McDowell...said plat delivered to Richard Langston.

(#5b) John NUCKOLLS a plat for 300a surveyed by James WOFFORD 23 May 17 73 and all sides by vacant land and on north side of pacolet River below t he Doctor's Bottom...same plats above about warrant etc.

(#6) John NUCKOLS made in Charleston SC on 28th Nov. 1774 a Tax retu rn 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 la nd on Thicketty Creek and granted to him 28 April 1768 by William TRYON, t he Governor of NC and surveyed by Zachariah BULLOCK and adjacent to the la nds of Stephen JONES and David ROBERTSON....But now that the state line be tween NC & SC had been run, this 400a of land was found to be in SC...T ax return made by John NUCKOLS in person in Charleston 10 July 1775.

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

(#7) This land grant in what was supposed to have been NC in 1768 definite ly 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 h im as a Justice of the Peach...I checked to find when he received his comm ission 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 q uote in part..."Commissioners (Election..Andrea) for the Spartan or upp er district my be absent at the time election. It is recommended that L t. Col. WOFFORD and Mr. John NUCCOLS be added to the same."

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

(#11a) His serving in the Rev. Assembly would make his descendents eligib le to membership in D.A.R.

(#12) Page 118 of Accounts for 1801-1802....paid 24th Nov. 1802 to John NU CKOLLS, Sheriff of Union Dist...for serving warrants...This John was the S ON of the elder John...the accounts were paid for the service the year bef ore.

(#17a) File of Joel HEMBRY or HEMBREE as noted in some spellings...In t he claim of Joel Hembry, he is asking for pay for a Horse lost....In Spart anburg Co. of 96 District and sworn to be before Samuel Lancaster J.P., Jo el Hembry states...# Ralph Smith J.P. of Spartanburg Co. in 96 Dist. in M ay 1779 took a signed statement of my Horse lost and the Cathcart sign t he appraisal) and said horse WAS PRESSED BY JOHN NUCKELS into service f or the Stono Expedition and was lost...etc." ....From the foregoing statem ent, it would seem the John NUCKOLS was one of the leaders to the Stono a nd that battle there.

(#17b) In the file of Nathan GRIMES...Natham Grimes furnished supplies a nd one receipt for these supplies was signed by Col. Thomas BRANDON...anot her receipts was signed by Jno. NUCKOLS (A photostat can be had of his sig nature of John NUCKOLS)....9th day of April 1779, I received of Natham Gri mes three hundred six pounds of flower, one bushel and a half of corn & fo ur days of rations for Public Use"....signed John NUCKOLS.

(#18) John NUCKOLS name is also supposed to be in the file of the Esta te of William SAVAGE with Mrs. Martha SAVAGE as Adams....Prisoners of W ar at the Sugar House...this claim was dated 26 Nov. 1787 and somewhe re in the file, the name of John NUCKOLS is supposed to appear. I was unab le to find it and it was likely also a receipt signed by him.

(#22) John NUCKOLLS decided to settle on a hill on Thicketty Creek a nd on this hill he built a fine plantation house the ruins of which are st ill seen with the old chimneys (1925) ...he had abut 500a of fine meadow L and. He named his plantation Whig Hill.

(#23) John NUCKOLLS was an ardent Patriot and played a prominent part in t he Revolution...Bailey does not state where not in what capacity that Jo hn NUCKOLS served.

(#24) John NUCKOLLS went on an expedition to McKown's Mill and took alo ng his young son, John NUCKOLLS, Jr....The young son was quietly sleepi ng when a band of Tories surrounded the Mill, young John NUCKOLLS escap ed in the confusion but John NUCKOLLS Sr. was cruelly murdered and the fat al blow was delivered by a man named DAVIS.

About the year 1790 Charles moved from Cripple Cre ek to Meadow Creek near Greenville. The land entered by Charles Nuckol ls on Cripple Creek is now owned by John P Simmerman and others. Nathani al Nuckolls, son of John Nuckolls, owned a part of this land, lived the re , brought up his family, and died in Wythe County.

Bertha states that Nathaniel was followed by his younger brother Samuel due to the fact that a Samuel Nuckolls is shown in a transfer of 568 acres of land adjoining Nathaniel Nuckolls. This was in 1797 and it was in the Wythe County Deed Book.

The Village of Fredericks Hall
Contributed by Claudia A. Chisholm

Another home, the COSBY HOUSE along with its owners and residents, is note worthy in the continuing narration regarding the Village of Fredericks Hal l. This property is located in an area known as Cedar Hill, off Route 65 6, in a rather remote section between Fredericks Hall and Cuckoo. The dwe lling house has been uninhabited for some time, therefore the overall pano rama appears unkept. Within view of the dwelling house is a lone chimn ey which is reported to have been a part of a slave cabin. The overgro wn cemetery is the only other reminder of some of the people who resided t here. Quaint in design by today's standards, there are indications the fra me story-and-a half house was built some time in the early 1800's. Upon v isiting the COSBY HOUSE in 1979, this researcher noted the dwelling hou se in relatively good condition; however, the circumstances are quite diff erent today. As one approached the property, an eye-catching feature of t he old home was the large stepped twin chimneys which embraced most of t he north end of the house. A single and less noticeable chimney was on t he southern exposure. Apparently the COSBY HOUSE was modernized during t he 1900's. Dormer windows are believed to have been removed when the ro of was replaced. The front porch shows evidence of change in style and siz e. A small addition appears to have added to accommodate for modem conven iences.
In reviewing the records of earlier years, we find once again a parc el of land being owned by a descendant of the original Harris family of Fr edericks Hall. In 1817, Frederick Harris, Jr., sold to Thomas Nuckolls 2 49 acres on the south fork of Little River,, )'After purchasing the proper ty, Thomas Nuckolls allowed his son, James Duke Nuckolls, to take up resid ence on the land without benefit of title. Shortly before his death in t he mid 1820's, Thomas Nuckolls conveyed the COSBY HOUSE property to his so n. The deed in part reads..."on which he the said James D. Nuckolls at pr esent resides lying on the south fork of Little River"(2)This would certai nly indicate a dwelling house either before 1817 or shortly thereafter. Th omas Nuckolls was a man of considerable means. He married Ann Terry, daug hter of James and Henrietta Terry on March 4, 1785. Thomas Nuckolls di ed without a will; therefore, the following children are recorded in unpub lished family papers. The oldest son, James Duke Nuckolls, was born Febru ary 26, 1886 of whom there will be additional comments later. Other child ren were: George Byars Nuckolls who married October 1, 1828, Myra R. Boxle y, daughter of Pallison and Susanna Dickinson Boxley; Mary Nuckolls, belie ved to have been unmarried; Stephen Terry Nuckolls who married November 1 6, 1827, Maria Trice, daughter of Anderson and Martha Sandidge Trice; Alex ander married November 17, 1817 Ann Burruss; Samuel; Nathaniel; Lucinda ma rried 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 Janua ry 03, 1805]

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

Robert S. Cosby was the son of Duke Cosby and Amelia Harris. (Amelia Harr is was the daughter of Robert Harris and Mezpina Walton who are believ ed to have inherited a part of the Grand Patent at Fredericks Hall of Will iam Harris, Jr. in 1725). In the Louisa Museum there are documents and le tters
pertaining to the business and personal life of Robert S. Cosby and the Co sby family. There are a number of interesting letters written from Robert 's brothers, Austin M. and Charles Rufus Cosby from various locations, mos tly from the state of Georgia Robert Cosby, like his father Duke Cosby, w as a farmer and tavern keeper. Louisa records show that Duke Cosby operat ed a Tavern from 1807 to his death around 1819. In his will and the divis ion of his estate, there is no mention of a Tavern; however, he left his h ome place and all adjoining parcels to his wife, Amelia D. Cosby. The rec ords show Duke Cosby's license ceased in 1819; at which time Robert S. beg an applying for a license. In the late 1830's, the licenses were issu ed to both Robert S. and Amelia D. Cosby. After 1842 and the death of Ame lia D., the license was issued to only Robert S. "...in his house for priv ate entertainment."10
Whether the Cosby's made their own beer for dispersion in the Tavern is n ot 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 ho urs and when milk warm, add about 1 1/2 coffee cups of yeast. Let the ca sk be filled quite full-as soon as it works and the foam falls, l et it be well-stopped and it will be fit for use in eight days and not soo ner. If the molasses is not very good it will not be amiss to add I qt. m ore. I forgot to mention that after boiling it is to be strained- The yea st 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 Gar dner, Atwood Wash and William G. Barrett five freeholders of this county a re hereby appointed Commissioners (any two or more whom being first duly s worn may act) to supentend (sic) the general Election of County and Distri ct Officers of the County of Louisa at Cosby's Tavern a place of voti ng in the 5th District of this County on the 4th Thursday of the present m onth May 1856 (being 22 day May.) Nelson Lipscomb is appointed the Offic er to conduct the election at Cosby's Tavern as being a voting place unt il 1860." The records of Louisa County for 1861 to 1867 appear to be missi ng; 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 Franc es H. Cosby. Their son, Charles T., married Sarah H. Hancock and they app ear to have lived on Rock Creek for a time. Mary Virginia, the only daugh ter, 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 so n, Joseph T. Cosby, was also unmarried. This son lived at home with his p arents for a time. In the fall of 1854 he moved to Chesterfield Coun ty to work at the Steam Saw Mill. He wrote the following letter in Septem ber to
his parents at Fredericks Hall.

"My Dear Father,
I take my pen this evening to write you and Mother a few lines but hard ly know what to write. Your letter you wrote me by Andrew was very good b ut I received one by mail a few hours after that hurt me very much. De ar Pa and Ma did I not have your consent to go to F Hall to Live? & aft er that to come here? did I not suffer many hardships there? did I not suf fer many here? and was I not sick and surrounded by Cholera here? W as I at anytime more than halfpaid by my rich masters? Have I not liv ed a single life long enough? did you not give me permission to court a nd I loved? and seek the welfare and happiness of us both? Could I be hap py and-be unhappy? did I not want business of my own or at least such as w ould give me Sunday and a church to meet with? All this did not produce su ch a letter as this before me. Pa is perplexed and Ma is in tears! I wi sh I had been with you to have cried too, you think I am going to sett le so far from you, it will be 100 miles. Pa says, you seem to have forgo tten me and your best of Mothers. Dear Pa I may seem to be forgetful b ut cannot forget you and Ma. I have a great many more things to atte nd to now than when I lived with you and besides a great many real trouble s. I will tell you some. I have spent very little money since I came he re my trip to Hampton cost me $14. and what money I have now and what Mr D unnington owes me will make only about $35. My clothes I ware every day h ave been so dirty that they are nearly all washed away and what are good a re so stained with the chestnut saw dust that they are hardly fit to war e. I shall have to spend some of my money to get me some more. A nd Mr D. has not paid me and he may take his time for it for what I kno w. he did not come
down last Monday as he promised and when he will come is more than any o ne can tell. Andrew will want me in L next week and I shall want to be th ere myself but if Mr D. wishes to disappoint me again he can do it and wh at can I do. If I go to see you as I would gladly do my business wou ld be put back a week later and I cannot ride on the Va.C.R.R. free now a nd would have come back to Richmond again rather than be killed in a sta ge going over the mountains. Besides all this I received a letter 4th fr om Hampton stating that the writer had given out an anticipated trip to Ly nchburg so that stretches out 300 miles between us, but they were wel l. If Mr D. does not come b Saturday night I shall be in Louisa Sunday I t hink and If he does not pay me and my money gives out I will walk to L. a nd if times get too hard for merchants I can get $1.50 a day for hewing ti mber But Ma thinks that fanners are so much defendant on God that I oug ht to think of that and be one. I expect to feel my dependence on H im no matter where I go or what I do. A farmer does not always think of a nd feel his dependence on God as he should. I need only refer you to fo ur of your nearest neighbors R.T. Bibb, E.T. Harris, N.W. Harris & M. Bak er I shall now close for my paper is getting short by saying I remain yo ur affectionate son.
Joseph T Cosby

By October of 1854 we find Joseph T. and Andrew (?) in Lynchburg, Virgin ia where they are operating a store. He tells about Lynchburg and the var ious railroad constructions taking place there. Then he relates what happ ened to him when he came to Louisa (11)..."I thought I had seen trouble b ut did not
see any till during some three weeks after I saw you last. My affai rs in Louisa I thought obliged me to go there. If I got married and to ret urn with a lady that was poor and what I might own have to be made ov er to somebody else pressed on my mind so that I almost went deranged. I w rote to the lady about some things I had heard about her which put h er in the highest sort of a passion and she wrote to me denying the repo rt and telling me to return or burn her letters and not to write to her ag ain and in the future we must be as strangers. It was a task not hard to p erform. I sent them to her with the request she would send mine to F. Ha ll if she mailed them, for I intended to have gone west before now, but ca nnot get my business right here yet and think it probable I shall not ti ll Christmas. I do not know where I shall go yet but think I shall go to A rkansas though I may go back to Louisa. Concerning the ladies affairs it t urns out that her mother left about $10,000 worth of property to her husba nd during his lifetime and the lady was to have her expenses paid from t he income of that property and at the death of her husband (Mr. Nowland)t he 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 pa rt of that year, Charles relates the following to Robert S. at Frederic ks hall
"àhe had married last may most a year ago to Eizabeth Lester aged 34 in go od health but I don't think I shall have to rock the cradle-only when so me of my married daughters come to see me."

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

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

Thomas Hancock Cosby married a widow, Minnie Maria Gentry Strong on Septem ber 23, 1933. She was the daughter of Abner C. and Bettie M. Davis Gentr y. By her first marriage, to Nattie T. Strong, Minnie had the following ch ildren: Abner Eugene Strong who married Mary Brooks Shiflett; Clifton Morr is who married Eva Butler; John who married Thelma Sprouse; McKinley who m arried twice, Juanita ? and Janie ?; Non-nan who died at the age of 7 wi th leukemia; and Catherine who married Martin Sharp. Minnie also adopted M arshall (Moses) Tate and Willie Humphry. Thomas H. Cosby and Minnie h ad no children.

Thomas H. Cosby died September 5, 1957, and Minnie died January 16, 196 1. Her heirs sold the COSBY HOUSE to Henry L. Lam in 1966. The most rece nt conveyance was to Wall and King Construction, Inc. and others. It is re ported the property is presently being used for a wildlife refuge.

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

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

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

This sketch is written mainly from facts learned from my father, Nathani el Nuckolls. By Elizabeth Ann Nuckolls. (Copies Aug 31, 1957 by Bertha Nuc kolls, Galax, VA
My grandfather, Thomas Nuckolls, was born in Louisa County, Virginia, abo ut the year 1767. He was of Scotch descent. His ancestors came from Dunfer mline, Scotland, and settled in Virginia. He married Anne terry, she w as of Scoth-Irish descent. I suppose they were both Baptists, as all the ir children were. My father said that they were both strict Christians. Th ere was no dissipation of any kind in the family. I was personally acquain ted with all of his sons and daughters, all of them having come to Georg ia except the oldest son, Duke, and I knew him in Virginia; he and his who le family were excellent Baptist people. Grandfather was a very dignifie d, quiet man, but unflinching in what he considered was his duty to his fa mily. He was very particular in all business transactions, honesty and jus tice was his creed. He was a farmer, raised corn, small grain and tobacc o. His sons worked on the farm unless they showed a decided talent for som ething else. I suppose he must have been a carpenter as well as farm er as three of his sons were fine artisans. He raised six sons and two dau ghters; these last were trained to do all kinds of domestic work, were fi ne weavers of nice goods for wearing apparel, sould do any kind of sewin g, plain and ornamental. Indeed for ingenuity, the whole family were prove rbial. The girls got more education than the oldest boys, the two younge st boys were very well educated. One of the girls married and raised sever al children, the other died as an old maid. When his sons came of ag e, he would tell them that they were free, give them what he felt ab le to give, and exhort them to shunn dissipation of all kinds, and to be i ndustrious and saving. He died about 1825. His wife died first (his childr en took care of him till he died)

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

A Firm Foundation
Charles garland, brother of Mary garland Nuckolls was a Biptist Ministe r. There is a story that he got upon a barrel one day to preach and in t he course of his remarks, he said that the faith of the Baptists w as on a firm foundation, that they would never fall; he stamped his fo ot to emphasize the remark and the head of the barrell fell through, a nd he fell with it. This circumstance, of course, broke up the meeting, b ut he, no doubt, continued to preach about the firm foundation of the Bapt ist faith. He was a good man, died with consumption about 1830 near Grays on County Virginia.

[NI760] Peter Nuckolls was the fourth son of John Nuckolls and Mary Garland. He w as born on the 18th of June, in 1784 in Louisa County, Virginia. He mov ed with his family to Greyson County, Virginia about 1790. He spent h is growing up years in Greyson County. In adulthood he appears on a tax l ist dated 27 March 1810, still in Grayson County. Shortly after this he m oved to Warren County, TN. (I have never found any indication that he we nt to Kentucky, accept in Pioneer Settlers of Grayson County, Virgini a, by Benjamin Floyd Nuckolls, which was then picked up by Bertha Nuckol ls in The First Virginia Nuckolls and Kindred).
Peter Nuckolls was credited with having been instrumental in the establis hment of the first school in Warren County. A Mr. Thoss came to Rock Isla nd, Tennessee, in Warren County, with Peter and boarded in his home f or a few years. It was during this time that Mr. Thoss organized a scho ol at what was known then as Boiling Spring. (This spring is located on t he north side of Grissom Road, in Civil District #3 of Warren County .) The school closed sometime after 1812, when Mr. Thoss, the teache r, went into military service upon the declaration of war by the United St ates against England in 1812.
Sometime during 1814, word came to the settlement that General Andrew Jac kson and his troops were running low on powder. Reuben Roberts (who wou ld become Peter's father-in-law) organized a group of neighbors, of whi ch Peter is listed by name, who gathered materials from places in the coun ty . From this they made a large quantity of powder, which they packed i nto barrels and then onto wagons drawn by oxen . They cut a new and dire ct road as they went west-northwest through Rutherford and Davidson Counti es to Nashville. There they loaded the powder onto flat boats and se nt it to New Orleans and General Jackson. It arrived in time to supply t he troops for the Battle of New Orleans on January 8, 1815.
In 1821, when Reuben Roberts had lost his Revolutionary War pension , Pet er testified to the legitimacy of Reuben's claim for recovery of that pens ion.
Peter Nuckolls married Millie Emily Roberts in Warren County, Tennessee a bout 1826. She was the seventh child of Reuben Roberts and Mary Millie As her. She had been born near Elizabethton, in 1796, the same year that Eli zabethton became the county seat for Carter County, Tennessee.
On September 12, 1832, Peter Nuckolls appears in the Warren County, Tenne ssee 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, Vi rginia. This being a common practice of the time when the inheritance w as far away from the heir. Peter received $35 from James Anderson, and Ja mes and his wife Patsy would receive two shares of the inheritance le ft by Charles Garland.
Peter again appears in the county records on October 4, 1841, when he pur chased items from the estate sale of his father-in-law, Reuben Roberts (Ja nuary 4,1744-August 2, 1841). Peter was a witness to his brother-in-la w, James Roberts' will which was made in March of 1844. And Peter again a ppears in Warren County records on June 5, 1847, when purchasing from t he estate sale of Mary Millie Roberts (1759-March 14, 1847)
Peter and Millie raise a family of three sons. Ezra, born about 1828; Ja mes Elisha born December 27, 1831; and Caswell Cobb born about 1833. Th is family appears in the 1850 Census of Warren County, Tennessee in Civ il District #3.
Peter probably died within the next year because his sons appear on t he real estate tax list with acreage. Millie Nuckolls death can only be es timated by her appearance in 1850 census and her lack of appearance in t he 1860 census. Peter and his wife Millie are probably buried at Asbury C emetery, off of Mason Road, just south of Randall Hitchcock Road. (T he graves may have once been marked, the name Nuccles appears on a cemete ry reading done by the WPA in the 1930's but time and people carrying t he stones away to use as foundation rocks has left a lot of unmarked grav es at Asbury Cemetery).
On the 1851 tax list of Warren County, Tennessee, Ezra is listed with 1 00 acres, and Caswell appears with 15 acres.13 James seems to be left o ut of the inheritance, but March 30, 1854 Ezra and James purchase land tog ether. The land description starts at the Nuckolls' stable and incloses 1 00 acres. In later years James' widow and children have full title to th is property when they sell it. (I assume that by having Ezra pay for ha lf of this property, the division of inheritance from Peter was evened out .)
On November 17, 1853, James and Caswell attend the estate sale of Mart ha Stone, James purchased a grindstone,a bureau, a trundle bedstead & cov er,and a candle stand. Caswell purchased 2 empty salt tubs, a long barre l, a clock, and three chairs. (I have been unable to locate Ezra or Caswe ll in any Warren County records from this point on.)

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

Some small excerpts from the article:
"The movement, inaugurated by the Daughters of the American Revolutio n, to preserve the names of the men and women buried in the early graveya rds of the country is a most notable and worthy one, and as the yea rs go by will became increasingly distinguished and historic."...."In t he earliest days of the county there stood on "the Old Kentucky Road" t wo miles south of Rock Island a log church known as Asbury's Meeting Hous e. The men who built the church were Reuben Roberts, a Revolutionary soldi er,
his sons and son-in-laws, their neighbors and friends; and if the da te is correct of their coming to this section -1796- given in the dia ry of one of them, they formed one of the oldest settlements."....
"According to very responsible tradition the pioneers of Asbury Settleme nt honored and collect the history of Warren County as known to them up on their first arrival."...." One of the diaries was kept by a young Virgi nian, a school teacher, who came west with Peter Nuckolls, went to New Orl eans under Jackson and never returned....." Sometime while Jackson and h is army were at New Orleans word came to the settlement that the General 's powder was running low. Immediately Reuben Roberts, Elijah Drake, Pet er Buren, Peter Nuckoll, George Sanders, and others from material gotten f rom the Big Bone Cave and other places, made a large quantity of powder, p acked it in wagons drawn by oxen and cutting a new and direct route as th ey went, by Short Mountain, Rutherford and Davidson Counties to Nashvill e, loaded the powder on flat boats and sent it to New Orleans to General J ackson."...." The church now seems to have disappeared, nor can the grav es of those who built it be found. So completely, apparently, have the for est and earth recalled them to themselves."

Ezra Nuckolls, b. Mar. 28, I798, Louisa Co., d. May 4, 1857. He and his b rothers were much help in the formation of Grayson Co., Va.; they had be en well educated and good family training in Eastern Virginia. The men a nd women were tall in stature, a number of them 7 ft. in height and well p roportioned. Ezra served as Sheriff of Grayson Co., Va.; he and his nephe ws Creed and Clarke Nuckolls with William Oglesby were the first merchan ts at Grayson Court House, Va., until after the close of the War186I-186 5; then the firm was Nuckolls and Jennings. A branch store was open ed at Independence, Va. Ezra built the first storehouse there, also the f irst hotel; he continued in business until he sold out and moved to Missou ri about 1853, bringing their children and their slaves. Took up Gov't la nd where Rock Port, Mo., is now. After locating, they said that some d ay a burying ground would be needed, and they selected a beautiful si te on a little hill that overlooked the countryside. Ezra Nuckolls died f irst, and in three weeks his wife died of a broken heart. They were buri ed in that plot, which has aIways been known as the Nuckolls Burying Groun d; though now it adjoins or is a part of the Rock Port Cemetery. It h as a good iron fence, well kept, and a nice granite monument is at the gra ve of Ezra and Lucinda Nuckolls. Many of the Nuckolls family are buried t here. In this Nuckolls Burying Ground, there is a flowering shrub) -a De ep Rose Peony -still blooming yearly, that Stephen Friel Nuckolls sent a nd had planted when he was a Congressman, in Washington, D. C., 1859----- 98 years ago.

I visited the Cemetary in Rock Port, MO. I found the grave of Ezra and Lu cinda Nuckolls who died in May of 1857. The grave site is still well main tained. It has a five foot tall headstone which states that Ezra
Nuckolls was born in Grayson County, VA. This is different than previous ly 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 writi ng, sent to Ezra Nuckolls from Martin Hail, Ezra's brother in law in 185 5. This original letter is on file in Lincoln, Nebraska at the Nebraska H istorical Society. I find interesting how in several of these old lette rs that they tried to hide or under state the excitement of important ne ws 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) h ad a baby".
Read the letter and see (children born and deaths). Also, this letter w as written a few years before the Civil War - little did they know how li fe in the South would change .

The envelope shows Leesburg, Alabama, Nov 30th as return address. Sta mp 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 m ake out the word or letter. Blank line indicates new page. Also, the let ter is faded so punctuation did not show - so it looks like a lot of r un on sentences but I didn't want to add anything that I could not s ee 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 t he enjoyment of good health. I have delayed writing until now thinki ng I would have something of some interest but have not and can't thi nk of waiting any longer as I am very anxious to hear from you all.

Evalina on the 10th Oct which you doubtys have heard before this in the sa me letter he wrote that Eli & Mother had advertised to sell off all Mothe rs property except slaves and to live them out on 25th Oct that is the la st and all I have heard of it If they had have wanted to sold the negro es without my presence they had better have sold them this fall provid ed I live not that I ever expect to make enough by being their to pay my e xpenses but I like to see even handed Justice to all.

I have a particular anxiety to make them negroes at Mothers have th at Country a bring a price. I acknowledge that negroes are flesh & blo od and should be treated humane but
have come to the conclusion it is not best to consult a negroes notions t oo much Particularly when they are tankered with by un???? while ?? ?.

EARLY BUSINESS (STORES) Ezra Nuckolls opened the first store and hot el in Independence. In 1853, he sold out his businesss here and moved to M issouri. Stephen M Dickey took over the hotel building, apparently as an o rdinary. Ezra, Creed, and Charles Nuckolls, sons of Robert G. Nuckolls for med a partnership with William Oglesby, and went into the merchantile busi ness. They were the first merchants at the Grayson County seat. They had b ranch houses at Bridle Creek and Elk Creek. They, except Ezra, continu ed in business here until after the Civil War, when the business became t hat of Nuckolls and Dickenson. Another early firm to locate here was th at of Nuckolls and Jennings. Theirs was a branch house of their busine ss in Oldtown.(Grayson County: A History in Words and Pictures) by Grays on Co.

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

J. E. Nuckolls enlisted in the Confederate Army on November 18, 1862 in Mc Minnville, Tennessee He was a private in Company B of the 22nd Tenness ee Infantry Battalion. His military career was unfortunately very shor t. The battalion left Warren County and joined the Army of Tennessee, arr iving after the the Battle of Murfreesboro, which took place on December 3 1, 1862. They marched through Coffee County and into Bedford County, t hen on to Shelbyville. On January 10, 1863 James was listed as absent fr om roll call, with the remark on a later roll call that he had died in a h ospital 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, t he county seat were occupied first by the Union, and then by the Confeder ate forces, and then they would switch again. An un substituted story, Re na Chloe Frederick (a great-granddaughter of James and Altha) tells of Alt ha and her children hiding in a cave when Union troops came through the c ounty. The troops were looking for horses and apparently James had rais ed horses. A black women named Chloe helped to hid the family, bringing t hem food and water, while her husband hid the horses in another cave. Som ehow the horses were discovered and the black man was shot. (The story im plies that the man died, but that was never said.) [ Rena believed that t he black woman Chloe remained with Altha until her death. Rena has only o ne memory of Altha, as a very tiny OLD woman lying on a high bed wi th a very tall black woman standing beside the bed. Rena remarked that th at was the first time she had seen a black person, and that really impress ed her. (Rena would have been 1 month short of 3 years of age when Alt ha died). But Rena said she had been told she was named for the woman w ho had kept the family safe in the cave.]

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

[NI772] Caswell appears in the First Virginia Nuckolls and Kindred Book II on pa ge 186 number 396. Much more has been documented on his line including h is many wives and the correct maiden name of Julia which we incorrectly th ought for years was Van Duzen. The only line with significant additons a re the children of his first marriage, which are included in this publicat ion.

LDS IGI File No 8003802 Sheet 55 gives full name as Caswell Benjamin Co bb 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 h ad own brothers named; John, Jim and Carr. I was given this informati on 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 Nucko ls and his wife, Julia, and sons, J. E. and Luther were born in Tennesse e. Jim was born in 1866 and Luther was born in 1868. His next child, Cha rles, was born in Kentucky in 1869. Dora was also born in Kentucky. Casw ell and Julia moved to Kentucky from Tennessee about 1869.

Caswell Nuckols died between 1889 and 1900 as his last child, Sallie, w as born in 1889 and was listed with her mother, Susan, and brother. Sall ie 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 C o. 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 expl ained with the line "I am lawfully seized of said land-have a good right to convey it and that the same is unencumbered."

The LDS records show another daughter Hannah born in 1878 and died in 1878. But the date of birth for daughter Minta is also in 1878. So she might have been a twin. So far, not documented.

[NI773] Julia died when her daughter Dora was born. The baby, Dora, was giv en to Andrew Aldridge to raise and Caswell married Susan Lear and he and S usan raised the three boys. It is believed that Andrew was a broth er to a David Aldridge who was a second husband of Julia's mother, also na med Julia. Told by Elmina Board, (daughter of Dora) to her daughter Hel en Marie Barnes Evilsizer. No burial place was ever found for Julia.

[NI782] Sally met and married Finis Luther Holt in Lyon Co. Eddyville Ky. He was b orn Oct 17 1882 in Princeton Ky, and died on Dec 2 1974 in Goodrich, M I. They then moved to St. Louis, Mo and then to Jonesboro Ark, and h ad 6 children (sons), her oldest being my Grandfather Finis James Holt. Sa lly's husband worked as an Enginere for the Railroad in Ark. Prospects whe re not good in thoes days for jobs, so when the Factories opened up in Mic higan she tryed to get her husband to move to Michigan where the jobs a nd money where better and they could have a better life. Sally was very he ad strong, her husband refused to go, so Sally packed up the 4 youngest bo ys 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 work ed 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 d id , but he would come to visit her and the boy's. With the money she sav ed she bought acherage and a Dairy farm on Ridge Rd.. in Goodrich, M I, so that when her son Donald came home from WWII he would have a pla ce to live and work. This farm was run by her son's Mose, Don, Cecil a nd Ed . They all did have other jobs too. She loved her farm it was everyt hing she ever wanted, and she was well known in the Police Community, th is was the life she had always wanted. However she did not know alot abo ut her family (father). She and her son Donald traveled to MO. to find inf ormation on Caswell, but had no luck, due to records being destroy ed 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 t he 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.

[NI784] Benjamin Morrison Board lived at Donaldson and Princeton, Kentucky whe re he was a farmer. He lived near Flatt Rock Church with his first famil y. Later, he gave his eldest son, Frank, land near Flatt Rock Church a nd built himself and Dora a new "Big House" over in Princeton. My moth er said her father had owned slaves.

Ben's first wife, Rebecca, was called Becky. He married Dora after Bec ky died. Ben and Becky had three children who lived. One child had di ed at birth and another, a girl, had died at age four. All of Ben and Dor a's children died young except Uncle Andy and my mother, Elmina. Nora M ae died in infancy; Alemeda was twenty-five; Ella, fourteen; Stella, 31; R osalie, 8; Lillian, 30; and, Mary Elizabeth, 25. Andrew and Elmina liv ed 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 Amer ica. He came from Sussex, England in 1730 with his wife, Elizabeth, and t wo young sons, James and David; James was ten, born in 1720, and David w as three, born in 1727. He settled first at Bloomfield, New Jersey, th en later at Boardville, Pompton Township, Passaic County, New Jersey.

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

Benjamin's grandfather was Philip Schuyler Board who descended from the fa mous Schuyler's of New York. Philip's mother was Janneke Ann Schuyler w ho was a great great granddaughter of Philip Schuyler and Marguerita Van S lichtenhorst.

Benjamin might have been married prior to Dora

The kidnapper, at gunpoint, ma de John drive him across the country and then later had John drive him ba ck to the St. Louis area. He did not harm John, just let him out of the c ar somewhere in the area. The kidnapper was eventually caught.

Their son, John, with Sally and only daughter, Kelly, later moved out of t he St. Louis area further West.

[NI819] Died in a car accident on Sandlick Road on September 19, 1966.

[NI863] Willis Franklin Reynolds was the son of Rowlett Reynolds and Amanda Sus an Weaver Perkins. According to birth records, he was born in Scott Count y, Mo. We believe that the family continued to live in Scott Co., Mo unt il Amanda became ill. They then moved to Kentucky, where she died. Willi s
was a very small child at this time. Census records show Willis, at the a ge of two, living with his Perkins grandparents. He would stay with th em until his Dad remarried.

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

Willis and Lillian left the area for awhile after their marriage. They d id return when Lillian was expecting their first child. Evelyn Louise w as born May 2, 1935 on a very stormy night. Unfortunately the labor w as long and very difficult. Evelyn Louise's head was badly injured duri ng thebirth process, and she was born dead. Willis was faced with the ta sk of making his daughter's coffin, which he then buried at the foot of h er 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 so n, whom they named Willis Floyd Reynolds. With both father and son's fir st name being Willis, the child used the name Floyd.

Willis worked at the Nunlee Gas Station and also as a driver for the Nunl ee Funeral Home. Being handy with his hands, Willis opened a shop behi nd his home. There he did carpentry and woodwork for others. During WW 2, he went to St Louis and worked in the ammunition plant there. Remaini ng in St Louis
until 1951, the family finally returned to Blodgett, where Willis purchas ed land from his brother-in-law and went back to doing carpentry for other s. In the middle 60's, when their son Floyd returned from a tour in Alask a, Willis and Lillian moved to Tarboro, NC in order to be close to Floyd a nd his family. In Tarboro, Willis' carpentry work was in great demand. W hen Floyd moved to Fayetteville, NC, Willis and Lillian remained in Tarbo ro. Willis was well employed and Fayetteville, was only a two hour drive a way.
When Floyd was promoted and moved again, this time to Olathe, KS, Will is and Lillian choose to return to Sikeston, Mo.

In 1990, with their health failing, Willis and Lillian moved in with Flo yd and Jo Ann. Willis had been battling cancer since 1972. First he h ad part of his kidney removed, then he had prostate cancer. This was follo wed by testicle cancer, and then Willis had two surgeries for lung cance r. In 1990, he had two surgeries for bladder cancer. He was getting rea dy for third surgery for the bladder cancer, when the x-rays revealed th at lung cancer had greatly advanced. Willis was sent home and told to e njoy the
time left of his life. Falling and breaking his hip, Willis entered in to a Johnson County nursing home. The break took what little strength Wil lis had left in his ravaged body, and he died in his sleep on March 8, 19 92. His bride, Lillian had preceded him in death by exactly five weeks. T hey are both laid to rest at Morley Cemetery, in Morley, Mo., just miles f rom Willis' birth place. Willis and Lillian left behind a son, Floyd; gra ndsons, Edward Lee, James Alen, Denny Robert, and John Floyd; Great-grandd aughters, Chantelle Niccole, Starrett Foster; and a great-grandson, Robe rt Taylor.

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

NANCY BOBBITT: (Widow of John Bobbitt)

4 males under 10 (1810-1820) 1 female 26 - 45 (1775-179 4)

2 males 10 - 16 (1804-1810)

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

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

Ruth loved animals and children. She had 3 pregnancies but only one ba by 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 t o
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 ther e
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.

Led ford had many problems in his life. He got into trouble with police and e ventually Rosie left him. His two daughters never really knew there fathe r. He later remarried but Rosie had never given him a divorce. I m et a lady at the Gwinnett Historical Society and she told me she knew Ledf ord Nuckolls. She said she remembered him sitting outside the drugsto re in Lawrenceville talking about the old days to his friends on many occa sions.

[NI995] Forsyth County Court House papers show that Joel Thomas Nuckolls Jr. was a ppointed legal guardian over Gabriella Phillips and S.J. Phillips. He mar ried Gabriella. He applied for letters of dismission from this responsibi lity when they came of age and was granted a release on January 5, 188 5. F. M. Hawkins Ordinary.

[NI997] Joel Thomas was the first born son of James Alexander & Anne Burress of V A. He can be found in local church records, land records and military reco rds of Forsyth County Georgia. He married Irana Bryant in 1842 in Forsy th Co and later served in the Civil War in the GA Inf.,25th Bn, Co E, (Pr ov Guards). Joel and Irana had nine children. The children married and h ad families and lived in Forsyth County. The family owned land that is n ow under a large lake in the Atlanta Georgia suburbs. This is a man-made l ake and so when the plans were being drawn up the family that has inherit ed 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 Jo el & Irana's. The descendants still live on this property today.

The 1850 Forsyth Census lists Joel's wife as Joanna. Now, I don't kn ow if Joel married Joanna before Irany Bryant or if Joanna is Irany's oth er 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 na me of Elsie living with the family as a domestic servant. This was aft er the War Between the States, so she must have been paid.

The 1870 Census record also states that Joel owned Real Estate worth $26 00 and his personal property was valued at $800. At this particular tim e, Joel's son, C.H. Nuckolls was living next door. There is another Nucko lls family living on the other side of Joel and his family. The Widow, Ma ry J. Nuckolls, who was a black woman with four black children. There w as also a Buress family next to Mary J. that was also black. Joel's moth er's maiden name was Buress. These black families could have at one ti me been servants for the Nuckoll/Buress families. I have been told that t he black families often took the names of their owners. I do not know f or sure if this is so. The 1870 census also has Elsie Nuckolls age 20 livi ng in the household

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

One source said that he was born in Virginia but his military record and t he 1850 census record says he was born in Georgia. I assume that he kn ew where he was born since he filled out these records..Joel's Family a re always listed in the Forsyth County census records from 1850 thurou gh 1880 in the Chattahoochee District (I haven't checked the 1890 and 19 00 census records yet). He is also listed as a planter or framer In t he GA State Gazetter in 1886-87 and 1888-89. So I believe that he lived m ost of his adult life in Forsyth County, GA

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

[NI1001] Adel and Ruby bought and lived on a farm in the Bethel Community. Ruby con tinued to teach school. Nila Sue Nuckolls was born while they lived on t he farm. At the time this area of Forsyth County had no paved roads, elec tricity, or telephones.

Eventually Ruby and Adel sold this farm and moved to Hall County where Ru by Eva Brown Nuckolls was a teacher in several of the Hall County and Nor th Gwinnett school systems. They bought another farm on Lights Ferry Ro ad in Flowery Branch, Georgia, where Adel continued to farm the land, rai se poultry, and work as a carpenter. In 1944 they had another daughter, K aryn Nan Nuckolls. Cheri Jane Nuckolls was born in 1951. Ruby Eva Bro wn Nuckolls was an educator for more than 40 years. After retiring from t he State of Georgia School System, she continued the career she loved by t eaching Adult Basic Education at Lanier Technical School. Ruby was instru mental in paving the way for many adults to receive a high school equivale ncy diploma.

In the late 1940s the United States Corps of Engineers bought the old fami ly farm on the Chattahoochee River, preparing to flood the area with the B uford Dam and create Lake Sidney Lanier. Nila, Nettie, Birdie, and Joel T homas Nuckolls had to sell the family home place and farm on the ban ks of the Chattahoochee River.

[NI1004] 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 "Colon el & Katie". The handwriting is both faded and "artistic", so it is ha rd to read. You might have more definite info about who Colonel and Kat ie are.

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

[NI1011] Bryant Nuckolls and Lydia Orr Nuckolls married on December 24, 1889. Th ey made their home on a farm next to the Chattahoochee River, in the Beth el Community, Forsyth County, Georgia, where they had grown up near Nuckol ls and Orr family members. Bryant and Lydia had twelve children, three gr andchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Of the twelve children, ni ne lived to become adults. The surviving children were Nila, Ernest, Nett ie, Birdie, Virgil, Adel, Tina, Joel and Eugene.

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

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

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

Bryant Ernest Nuckolls, the oldest son of Bryant and Lydia served in Wor ld War I. He was killed in France on September 12, 1918. His body was se nt back home to Georgia where he is interred in the Nuckolls Family Plo t, Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery, Forsyth County, Georgia.

[NI1015] James Alexander Nuckolls had moved his family to Georgia from Virgin ia by 1830. In the 1830 Census he was located in Hall County living with h is wife, Ann Burruss Nuckolls and their eight children, Clarenda, Mary Lou isa, Joel Thomas, Harriet E., Lafayette & Alexander, Anna Terry and John M ilton. All
of these family members were born in Virginia.

James Alexander is the son of Thomas and Ann Terry Nuckolls of Louisa Coun ty Virginia. Thomas Nuckolls died in 1823. At the time of his death he w as a fairly wealthy man who had deeded a good bit of his property to his c hildren. James Alexander sold his property and came to Georgia. The talk a round Virginia was that Georgia had good land to grow crops and feed the f amily. When James arrived, he quickly acquired some property from the "18 32 Gold Lottery Land'. He was a winner and so settled down to raise a fam ily. Ann and Alexander had three more children in the following years. Jam es G. Lafayette, Virginia and Georgia, knows as the twins. Ann died in 18 58 from unknown causes. Alexander had moved to Forsyth County by this ti me and so she is buried on the land where they used to reside. Alexander n ever remarried.

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

James Alexander Nuckolls died in Whitfield County in 1875 and is buried al one on property that used to belong to the family. His will can be fou nd in the Court Records of Whitfield County. His descendants today still l ive in these counties. Some migrated to Alabama and on to the West. The fa mily is a large one. The immigrant ancestor is James Nuckolls who arriv ed 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 c ounty are from a copy of the original in the Georgia surveyor General Depa rtment, provided courtesy of Elizabeth Johnson. The Georgia Surveyor Gene ral Dept. 9330 Capitol Ave., SE, Atlanta, GA 30334) also has the land gran ts for the lots in northwest Georgia won in this lottery.

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 li sted as Alexander with various spellings of Nuckolls. One deed has three d ifferent 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 on ly gotten through the year 1844. Source Adrian Hopkins

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

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 almo st 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 po rtion of Webster. The old dividing line between Webster and Claiborne w as Dorcheat Bayou. The new dividing line between Bossier and Webster is (f rom the south) Bistineau Lake up to the top of section 16. From Townshi ps 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 Docume nt #13760, the SW/SW of Section 2, Township 20, Range 10 was in Bossier Pa rish 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 t he Parish of Webster) about 1865. When the Nuckolls property near Cotton Valley and Couchwood was sold, either by design or error, ___ the 40 ac re track known as the hog lot was left out of the deed. It was never disc overed until the five shallow oil wells were discovered - An effort was ma de 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 g ot anything. About 15 years later, in the late 30's deep oil was discover ed. The distant relatives were not consulted but rather a suit was broug ht 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 a nd the Nuckolls heirs have been drawing royalty since 1939".

An effort by an oil company to lease the property at that time,and which was during the lifetime of my grandmother, Mrs. Letia Nuckolls Harper, failed because some of the Nuckolls heirs who lived far away in other States wanted as much as Ten Thousand Dollars for a lease on their small interest, and of course, no one got anything. About fifteen years later, in the latter part of the thirties, deep oil was discover ed in the Cotton Valley field, so this time we didn't ask these distant cousins, instead we brought suit for a partition of the property by litigation, or sale. This time our efforts were successful, and we were able to lease the land, but of course, too late to help my grandmother who died in 1925. Because this suit and the resultant judgment lists the heirs of G. B. Nuckolls, and because it is an interesting episode in the family history, I have included the petition filed and judgement obtained which follows:

To The Honorable J.F. McInnis, Judge of the Twenty-Sixth Judicial Distri ct Court in and for the Parish of Webster, Louisiana:
The petition of Miss Ermine Harper, a resident of the Parish of Caddo, Louisiana, with respect represents:
1. That George Bias Nuckolls, her grandfather, and Jane Nuckolls, her grandmother, died intestate in the Parish of Webster, the parish of their last domicile, about the year 1865, leaving as their sole heirs at law, Odie M. Nuckolls, who later married a Mr. Griffin, Geraldine Nuckolls, married to A.G. Harper, Virginia Nuckolls, married to a Mr.Wasson, Letia Nuckolls, second wife of A.G. Harper and William Nuckolls, all of whom are issue of their marriage, and all of whom are dead.
2. That by a previous marriage the said George Bias Nuckolls had a son whose name was Robert Nuckolls, and who was born prior to the year 1836, and who hasn't been heard from since about the year 1865.
3. That Mrs. Odie N. Griffin left as her sole heirs at law David Griffin, Mrs. Nona G. McDade and Mrs. Pearl Riggs. The first two of whom are dead.
3-A. That at the death of David Griffin, he left as his sole heir at law Ida G. Prudhomme, now deceased, John R. Griffin, Fort Griffin, Maryell is Griffin, Doris Griffin and Kathleen Griffin.
3-B. That at the death of Mrs. Ida G. Prudhomme she left one heir at law, Leah Prudhomme.
3-C. That at the death of Mrs. Nona G. McDade, she left two heirs at law, namely Griffin McDade and Eugene McDada.
4. That at the death of Mrs. Geraldine Harper, she left as her sole heirs at law Dr. Georgia A. Harper, Mrs. Anna Harper Ogilvie and J.D. Harper, now deceased.
4.A. That at the death of J.D. Harper, he left as his sole heirs at law Mrs. Lena M. Hicks, Colquitt Harper, Rollins Harper and Ettie Neal Harper.
5. That at the death of Mrs. Virginia Wasson, she left as her sole heirs at law Mrs. Gussie Dawson and Mrs. Emily Davis, now deceased.
5-A. That at the death of Mrs. Emily Davis, she left as her sole heirs at law Mrs. Norma D. Day, Jim Davis, Charles Davis, Fort Davis and Mrs. Nell D. Spinks.
6. That at the death of Mrs. Letia Harper, she left as her sole heirs at law Mrs. Shirley Stephens, Miss Ermine Harper, S.B. Harper, A.G. Harper, Terry N. Harper and Harry E. Harper.
7. That at the death of Mr. Willaim Nuckolls, he left as his sole heir at law Mr. Douglas Nuckolls, Gladden Nuckolls, now deceased, and Mrs. Mary W. Leggett.
7-A. That at the death of Gladden Nuckolls, he left a minor child, now deceased, whose name is unknown to your petitioner, and that Mrs. Gladden Nuckolls is the sole heir of said child, an heir by representation of the said Gladden Nuckolls, deceased.
8. That the said George Bias Nuckolls and his wife, Mrs. Jane Nuckolls, were the owners at their death of a certain forty (40) acre tract of la nd located in the Parish of Webster described as Southeast Quarter (SE 1/ 4) of
Southwest Quarter (SW 1/4) of Section 35, Township 21 North, Range 10 Wes t, which belonged to the communtity existing between them, and which now appears to be the only property left by either of them at their death.
9. That the respective heirs, now living as shown in the above paragraphs, are the owners of said forty (40) acre tract of land, and should be recognized as such and sent into the possession thereof as owners.
10. That no inheritance tax is due by said estate for the reason that the owners thereof died long prior to the passing of the inheritance tax law and for the further reason that the property does not have such value as would entitle them to owe any inheritance tax thereon, and petitioner desires that the rule to show cause why no inheritance tax is due by said estate be dispensed with.
WHEREFORE, petitioner prays that the living heirs, as shown by this petition, be recognized as the sole heirs at law of George Bias Nuckolls and Ja ne Nuckolls, deceased; that they be sent into the possession as owners of the Southeast Quarter (SE 1/4) of the Southwest Quarter (SW 1/ 4) of Section 35, Township 21 North, Range 10 West, in the following propo rtions, to-wit:

Bossier Parish History
Bossier Parish was created on Feb. 24, 1843, through Act 33 of the Louisia na legislature, signed into law by Gov. Alexandre Mouton. The parish was p resumably named for the Louisiana Creole militia general Pierre Evariste J ean Baptiste Bossier. He was born at Natchitoches (pronounced NAK-oh-tus h) on March 22, 1797 and died under mysterious circumstances on April 2 4, 1844.

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

The first parish officials, all appointed by Governor Mouton, were Wi lliam K. Beck, Parish Judge; Robert B. Lowrey, Sheriff; R.H. Hodges, Surve yor; H.M. McFarland, Coroner; and John M. Lawdridge, C. Wallace, William C rowley and J.S.M. Lowery, Justices of the Peace. They were appointed Mar ch 9, 1843. The first parish courthouse was at Bellevue and was bui lt by A. Kendall. The first parish Police Jury meeting (akin to a boa rd of county commissioners) was held on June 19, 1843. The first police ju rors were William Crowley, President; J.A.W. Lowery, Clerk; James C. Scot t, Clerk (through Sept. 4); G.J. Williams; Joseph Graham; William M. Burn s; and Isaac Lay. Their first meeting was held at the home of Ezekial Calh oun Long, believed to be near the site of the 1920s-vintage Durden log ho me on the Bodcau preserve.

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

((Source: "Bossier Parish History, 1843-1993, The First 150 Years ," by Clifton Cardin. LOC No. 93-072080, ISBN 0-9637507-0-4 (softcover) a nd ISBN 0-9637507-1-2 (hardcover)). Cardin is the official (appointed) Bo ssier Parish Historian and gladly answers queries.

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

His neighbors were the following and I would try to find them as he is pro bably nearby. These are from the book The First Land Buyers in Bossier -C laibornie Parishes , Louisiana up until the Civil War ny Bill O' Danie l. As Bossier Parish was divided up about that time frame in that pa rt of Bossier as he was near the Alabama settlement I believe as he was ne ar all our families.

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

John Presnall
Micah Miller
Pleasant R.Doyle
Robert W. Hodges
Jesse Hartman

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

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

In the Bossier Parish History The first 150 years by Clifton. J.O. Nuckol ls 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 communiti es in the south to declare war on the south They declared war on Nov 2 6, 1860 in Rocky Mount. A declaration was signed at that time.

Fifteen Dollars Reward-
Ranaway on Friday, the 29th April last, from Stephen T Nuckolls, near Char lotte Courthouse Virginia, a Negro man, Tom, who had on, when he went awa y, a pair of white yarn pantaloons and coat of the same. Tom is betwe en 35 and 40 years of age; is tall, straigth, and well made; has nearly lo st the sight of one of his eyes, from a cause unknown; his hair runs far b ack on his forehead, which causes him to have the appearance of being bal d; is inclined to limp when he walks, and speaks slowly when questioned. T om was purcahsed of a trader in Richmond about five years ago, who said th at he bought him of one Davis, in Frederick County Virginia. He has been h ired one year at Weaver's Iron Works, Rockbridge County - I think it proba ble he is aimed to get to that neighborhood, under a fictitious name. T he above reward will be as he has made one attempt to get there, as a fr ee man, paid on the delivery of said slave, or to any person who shall sec ure him in Jail, so that he can be obtained by Stephen T Nuckolls, it tak en 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 bei ng of sound mind and disposing memory do make this my last will and testam ent as follows to wit:

1st I wish all my just debts paid 2nd I wish all of my estate equally divi ded among my sons and daughters namely, Frances Marion Nuckolls, Thomas An derson Nuckolls, James Byars Nuckolls, Anna Elizabeth Nuckolls, Marsha Can des Nuckolls, Catharine Minor Nuckolls, Maria Novel Nuckolls to them a nd to the heirs of their bodies forever. But if either of them who sha ll have a due proportion of my estate according to this my will shall d ie without a legal heir of his or her body then the property to revert ba ck to those my legal heirs who have received a due proportion. But if eit her of my children shall marry contrary to my wishes whose name I shall wr ite 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 testam ent whereunto I have set my had & seal this eight day of June in the ye ar 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 Nuc kolls family and CORBETT family. Martha C. Nuckolls (listed as VETOED) ma rried Dr. Corbett. Later Dr. Corbett bought the land that had belong ed to Stephen T. Nuckolls. It seems that Frances M. Nuckolls who was t he executor of the estate of Stephen Nuckolls administered By-passing t he will and going their own route, allowed Martha a share in the estat e. Frances was married to Martha Drum who only lived a short while and di ed of fever. That part of the county was infected with Malaria. As we und erstand in the records seen. Dr. Corbett's sister was Martha's mothe r. In Mr. Drum's will he states and emphatically that the husband of h is deceased daughter will in no way ever share in his estate. However wh en Martha married at a later date than Stephen's will, Stephen gives his c onsent. We can only suppose that the "fences were mended."

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

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

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

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

A brother of Stephen T. Nuckolls - James Alexander Nuckolls c. 20 Sept. 18 75 is buried in Whitfield Co., GA

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

Ala. there is a reco rd of my grandfather - Francis Marion Nuckolls - having been guardian of h is youngest sister - Maria (Nuckolls) Zuber - and upon her marriage the re is a receipt for the final distribution of the estate of Anderson Tri ce - My guess was that Anderson was the father of their deceased Moth er - Maria Trice Nuckolls -

I failed to find any record of the initial proceedings of this guardiansh ip and wondered if these could have been established else where and transf ormed to Macon Co., Ala. Upon the family moving there - I found no oth er 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 Thompso n. It was listed in Vol. 113 for May 18, 1848. PROBLEM WITH THE DATE HE RE as former wife did not died until 1856. We feel certain this shou ld be 1858

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

[NI1030] 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. Thomas son. She was the daughter of John, Sr. and Frances Cooke Thomasson

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

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

James Duke then purchased and moved to the Yanceyville Mill property. T he land tax shows that new buildings were added to the 249-acre parcel Cos by purchased of James Duke Nuckolls. Considering the addition of "new buil dings", several questions arise to which there seems to be no conclusive a nswer. Could the one standing chimney adjacent to the present house ha ve been the original house? Did Robert Cosby build the present house a nd the older one became his slave quarters? The land tax shows no chan ge from James Duke Nuckolls's ownership to that of Robert S.Cosby's even t hough new buildings were added. In 1838, Robert S. Cosby received a lett er from his brother in Walton, Georgia. In it he says, "...you inform ed me that you had bought Duke Nuckolls out on account of your growing fam ily and can you make a Support on it no you can't and pay your taxes and m idwife fee. Sell out and come to this country. Here is the place for gro wing families... " Tell sisters if they are not married to marry some bo dy that will start right to Georgia.

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