Notes:
-
John and Rhoda:
Greene County, VA Will Book 1, page 587 p.43, Deed Book 4, page
477 listed as son of Bland. John is listed in the 1850 Greene
County Census. He is 71 years old. Rhoda is not listed, so she
probably died before 1850. John died early in 1859. He wrote his
will in Dec. 1858. His estate was inventoried in Mar. 1859. Turner
was the executor.
-
Turner and Mildred:
Turner is listed in the US Census 1850, 1860, 1870-listed as blind,
m. 1880 Mildred is listed in 1870 census but not 1880 Orange County
Marriage Bonds X p. 291 Turner and Mildred were married by Rev.
George Bingham of Bingham's Chapel in Greene County. Bingham was
a Methodist preacher and a big (330 lbs) man. Albemarle County
Marriage Records 1786-1895, state that Mildred is the daughter
of Honourious Powell.

Vernangus Shifflett
She is buried near Swift Run Gap. Shenandoah Vestiges: What
the Mountain People Left Behind by Carolyn and Jack Reeder.
On page 54 and 55, there is a photo of Vernangus' stone and a
bench built by her grandsons, Dorsey and Russell. In The Undying
Past of Shenandoah National Park by Darwin Lambert, this cemetery
is called Nangus Shiflett and is on page 283. My family visits
this cemetery every 2 or 3 years. We try to keep it clear of brush.
Darwin Lambert in The Undying Past of Shenandoah National Park
p. 284, states that Honorias Powell was Turner Shifflett's grandfather.
(I think Honorias was related to his wife, Milly.) Honorias, Turner,
and 2 of Turner's sons, Angus J. and Hilary are buried in a cemetery
on the west side of Roundtop Mountain, now in the Park, known
as the Hensley/Shifflett/Powell Cemetery. One of the stones on
the north side of a large overgrown boxwood, is inscribed M. M.
Shiflett Dc June the 25, 1878 I think this is Milly's grave. I
did not find a marker for Turner, but he is probably under the
boxwood.

George S. and Amanda
He was bald and he always wore a cap. He had a special one for
Sunday. She was buried in Nangus' Cemetery near Swift Run Gap,
but sometime in the 1920''s, her husband dug her and baby Joseph
Elmer up and reburied them in Riverview Cemetery in Waynesboro
-
Joseph Newton and Harriet Eliza
They are both buried in Riverview Cemetery, Waynesboro. In 1922,
Newt and Harriet built a house in Waynesboro. My parents live

Newspaper Article about Gloria Harding Day Carter, granddaughter of
Mack & Fannie Shifflett.
Gloria's parents are still living and therefore she is not listed
on the chart above.

herself to be a Shifflett. She is an inspiration to all of us."
Gloria Harding Day Carter 52, dies
Gloria Ann Carter, 52 a tireless community activist who was instrumental
in the success of the Seneca Cluster Police Facility in Germantown,
died Jan. 18 after suffering a stroke four days earlier. Carter was
the county police's biggest cheerleader, and often said all her community
volunteer efforts were for neighborhood children. Friends, community
residents and police officers were in shock last week as they grappled
with the death of a woman on whom they had come to depend. "She'll
be remembered as one of those special people that always put herself
behind everybody else," said Officer J.J. McWilliams, who worked with
Carter for six years. "It's going to be a great loss and people aren't
going to realize until a month from now when things aren't getting
done," he said. "It's going to take a lot of people to replace that
one person."
Carter was a Volunteer coordinator for the police satellite facility
in the Weis shopping center on Clopper Road. Last week, flags at the
satellite station flew at half-mast. Six county police officers served
as pallbearers at her funeral Friday. Carter was helping friends move
when she had a stroke, according to her friends. She was also battling
pancreatic cancer. While her death hit the Germantown community hard,
how she died--helping others--was not surprising to those who knew
her best. Carter was perhaps the most recognizable civilian among
the Germantown district police officers and one of the most recognized
volunteers in the community.
It was five years ago that Carter decided a shooting incident in Cinnamon
Woods community wasn't going to cast a cloud over her neighborhood.
She decided to work to take back her community and give the children
a safe place to live. Known for her ability to rally people together
and use her charm to get what she wanted, Carter worked with police
and politicians to rebuild the reputation of Cinnamon Woods and more
than 20 other Germantown communities. In addition to serving as volunteer
coordinator at the satellite station, Carter took weekly community
walks to check vacant properties, answer resident questions and provide
a presence in the community. She also hosted an open gym night every
Wednesday, and served as a contact point for people who had complaints
but didn't want to go to the police. "I put a lot of time in, but
I don't count the hours," she said in an interview last June. "Anything
we do in the community to help the community is going to benefit the
kids." Carter's support for children and police will be long remembered.
And she will be remembered as an anti-crime crusader who had an unrelenting
commitment to the community. "Here she is with terminal cancer and
she's concerned about other people," said Capt. Thomas Fitzpatrick,
commander of the Germantown station. "She was really just one of those
unbelievable people." "She is extremely committed to the community
and one of the biggest supporters of the police department." said
Sgt. Tina Faas, a pallbearer at the funeral. "She would just give
and give and give."
"One of the things everybody would definitely agree with is she was
one of the most productive community advocates." Said Lt. James Fenner.
"She cared more for others than herself." It was Carter's selflessness
and thoughtfulness that will be her legacy. An outstanding volunteer
of the year award that is given by the Volunteer and Community Resources
Division of the county police department will likely be renamed in
her honor. Carter was the first to receive the award, named the "You're
A Star Award."
Born July 15, 1947, she was the daughter of Ethel Shifflett Harding
of Gaithersburg and the Late Benjamin Joseph Harding. She was an office
assistant for the Cinnamon Woods Home Association. Survivors include
her husband Warren Henry "Hank" Carter Jr., a son, Bruce Robert Day
Jr. of Germantown, a stepson, Adam Carter of Burtonsville, six grandchildren,
and one sister, Joyce Burdette of Charlestown, W. Va. She was preceded
in death by a son, Jeffrey Day. From the Montgomery County Gazette
