2. Calvin Shiflett (Benson1) was born about 1829 in VA and died about 1865 in Boonesville, Albemarle Co., VA about age 36. The cause of his death was Killed in the Civil War.
General Notes:
In 1865 Calvin Shiflet along with Tipton Walton were executed because they
deserted from the Confederacy. The order was given to Major C. R. Mason to
capture and execute all deserters and all persons who gave them aid and
comfort. The execution took place in a farm house in Boonseville. Tom Frazier
who was Calvin's friend latter married his wife Elizabeth Herring.
Information submitted by Norm Addington norm1394@gmail.com
Calvin Shiflett served in Company F, 35th Virginia Calvery, as a Private during
the Civil War. He is thought to be the son of Benson and Christina Shiflett.
His last known record is at the
According to a great-great grandson of Calvin, his mother told him the story
that her grandmother, Elizabeth (Herrin) Shiflett, Calvin's wife had told her:
"Calvin along with several other cousins and soldiers deserted in 1864/65
time frame due to lack of food, clothing and horses. A number of them were
captured and held in the basement of a large, white house in Boonesville,
Ed. note: My father has suggested to me that it is possible the Confederate
deserters executed in the basement were killed in anger, when the guards found
out some of them had escaped through a basement window. Norm has been trying
for the last six months to find out what group was holding these men prisoner
at the time of their execution. Since it was at the very end of the war,
possible candidates are Union troops, Confederate troops, or the Home Guard. Since
these prisoners were "local" men, simply trying to get home, I'd like
to think that it was "outsiders" who killed them, and not their own
neighbors and kin. If you have any additional information on this embarrassing
episode in
Calvin is most likely buried in the

I have been unable to find Mariah on the 1930 Census. According to my wife
Delores and conversations she had with her father Cecil, Mariah was living in
the old house, which is just about fallen down, located next to the old
cemetery on the late Leo Shiflett property. Cecil was living with Mariah and
Turner Shiflett when his brother Louis died in 1928, Turner who had a stroke
and was in bed heard lumber being unloaded and asked who had died. Turner later
died in 1929. So it is very possible that Mariah was living there and the
census taker missed her house. The house is next door to where her son Willie
and his family was living.

Hi Bob,
Joyce Shifflett has an old family Bible that apparently belonged to Eliza
Rachel Shifflett, w/o Joseph Zenith Shifflett . The Bible was found in Maryland
on a trash heap in front of a home where the folks had been evicted. Somehow
someone found the Bible and knew Joyce enjoyed genealogy and thought perhaps
she would know what to do with it.
On the front page it has Presented to Mrs. Joseph Shifflett By Alan Lam.
On the opposite page of the inside of the front cover written in pencil
it has
Mrs. Joseph Shifflett

Mr. & Mrs. Edward Lamb
7807 Eastdale Rd.
Baltimore, Maryland
Miss Shirlie Fantasie

Dundalk, Maryland
Faith is a poor mans wealth
Along with the Bible, a journal was found that appears to have been written by
Alan Lam, her grandson. The writing in the front of the Bible looks identical
to the writing in the journal. The journal is written in a very flowery,
dramatic language. The author was in Vietnam at the time of most of the
entries.
Joyce has had this Bible and journal since back in the summer and she is
attemping to get them back into the family's hands. She has called Eugene
Powell and he has tried to email Julia Crosswell as this is her family, but
Joyce told me Eugene has received no response.
Do you know of anyone in this family that would appreciate and like to
have Eliza's Family Bible?

& Addie, Ruby says her mother was only marrried once. She also says
Zermie's middle name is Henry and his parents are Charles Shiflett & Sarah

may have married some other woman named Addie.

Aunt Ruby said that her parents moved from Va about 1913/15 to Earlville,
Illinois where they had a farm. Earlville is a very very small farm town and
still is to this day. I have been to the family grave sites in Illinois and to
the house where the children grew up. I have some pictures of Lucy Berry with
her sisters. Which ones I don't know. According to Aunt Ruby this picture were
taken on the VA farm. I am new to the computer world and I don't yet have a
scanner so when I get one I will scan that particular picture and send it to
you. I'll send you more info later...I hope this will come in handy. I would
like to put additional info on the Shifflett site. I will figure out how to do
this as I go along. I will be in touch with the info on the spouse's and
children tomorrow ... Have a good evening ... Robbin

General Notes:
Much of the information on the Family of Henry Benson Shiflett and Martha

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

Some family information from book "Shiflet (and variant spellings) 1700 to

Hensley, 1997.
8 November 1999, From nadams@assure.net (Neva)
For birth records for Nancy, we found J.C & S. A being born April 1877 to
Nancy Shiflett, father not known. It appears to be John Conway and Sarah Ann
(Lucy). They were born in Greene Co. The 1880 Census listed John and his sister
as being 3 years old, which would agree with this birth record.
8 November 1999, From nadams@assure.net (Neva)
In the 1880 Greene Co. Census, H.B. and Martha are living in between David and
Emma Shiflett (Calvin's Daughter) and Tom Frazier and Elizabeth Shiflett. Nancy
was in the White Hall district in 1880 Blackwell district in 1900 and in Sam
Miller district in 1910. In the 1900 Census Henry B. is living in Free Union
district, Albemarle Co., VA. He is not in the 1910, because he should be in W.
VA. Martha should have died before 1910, and she is definitely buried in W. VA.
8 December 1999, From norm1394@gmail.com (Norman Addington)
I have interviewed two grandchildren and two great grand children of Nancy J.
Shiflett. They all said that Shiflett was her maiden name and that she was
never married. Nancy is buried at Mount Moriah Methodist Church, White Hall, no
marker. The granddaughter of Adam advised me that her grandfather told her that
his father was Gustin Shiflett (Augustus in Adams' Obit.) She said Adam said
that "Gustin and Nancy was never married and that Gustin was a 'field
horse' ". OK!!!!!!!!!!! It is interesting that Lucy Ann Shiflett Wyant
parents are not listed in her Obituary. Note that her first son is named Henry.
I just found out that she married in Maryland to Adam Wyant, although they were
born in Virginia and lived in White Hall. This explains why I couldn't find a
Virginia marriage for her. As you know (John) Conway "Convie"
Shiflett list his father on his marriage license as Conway. Since Lucy Ann and
Convie are twins it would be most interesting to see how her father is listed
on her license. One her daughter told me that.
I am still working on the Henry and Jesse Lawson issue. Thanks again for all
the help. I will keep you guys posted. Norm
14 January 2000, From norm1394@gmail.com (Norman Addington)
I received the death certificate today for Nancy daughter, Rosa. Her father is
listed as Jessie Lawson as Larry had concluded. She died 27 July 1923. This
also would be Ida's father.
The only remaining piece of this puzzle is confirming the father of the twins,
John Conway and Lucy Ann. We know that Conway is listed on the marriage license
as father of John Conway, but it is interesting to note that Lucy Ann named her
first born - Henry. Lucy Ann got married in Maryland but at this time I don't
which county. All marriage licenses in Maryland are retained by the counties,
not the state. Her daughter who lives in Charlottesville is trying to find her
marriage license. Will keep you posted. Norm.

CC: LFSOFVA@aol.com (Larry Shiflett), EPOWELL555@aol.com (Eugene Powell),
bobklein99@comcast.net (Bob Klein); Julie, Thanks for giving me the opportunity
to respond to Nina email.
First I don't intend to make it to the chat room on Sunday for additional
discussions on Henry B. will not serve any useful purpose. Nina's response was
expected but I was surprised by her tone. She wants to believe that Henry B. is
as 'pure as the driven snow' which in my opinion he is not. I have the up most
respect for Chestley and Mildred based on later verified documents. I have too
kept very good notes while researching Nancy J. Many of these visits were tape
recorded to insure that I had all the information correct that was verbally
given. I would then transcribe these into a log book. For my research and for
Nancy site I wanted to give credit to Larry, Bob and Eugene for their help on
this project. These fine researchers are not involved with the issue of Henry
B. so I don't want them to be caught in the middle on this subject. They are
certainly free to voice their opinion if they so desired.
***** Background *****
23 Feb, 1997 - I called Larry for the first time after receiving a copy of his
and Barbara's book. I discussed the line that I was researching, that is Nancy,
Rosa, Conway etc. Larry indicated that they had not been able to figure out the
details of this family since the father of some of Nancy's children was not
listed in the documents (marriage records, census records) that he used for the
book. We now know that this family history was complex with four different
fathers involved. Larry and/or Barbara was visiting with Nadine Shiflett (w/o
of Leo), one day in preparation of their book and Mildred just happened to also
be visiting Nadine. Larry/Barbara were impressed by her knowledge of the
Shifletts. Larry suggested that I should contact Chestley and Mildred in my
research for which I will always be thankful. He provided their telephone
number which I immediately called and set up a visit the next day.
24 Feb, 1997 - LaVerne and I went to Chestley and Mildred home with tape
recorder in hand. The tape recording(s) were then transcribed to my log book to
which I am referring in my response. As we know both are very knowledgeable on
the Shifletts. The first thing that Chestley pointed out to us was that on
p.30M of the book Henry B. was missing as one of the children of Calvin. At the
time this was the only info I had about Henry B. I was not surprised that
Chestley had knowledge of his great grandfather's, Charles P. brother, Henry B.
During our first visit Chestley advised Adam, Sallie Belle, and Eddie were the
children of Henry B. We now know that he was in error on Adam and can
understand why. This has taken some time for us to sort out Adam even though I
was given some info on his father later that day by one of the great
granddaughter of Adam (see below). He stated that on p. 54 M Eddie was the son
of Henry and Nancy and on p. 131F that H. and N. stood for Henry and Nancy.
During later visits I questioned him about the source of his information and he
said that it was both his mother and in particularly his grandmother Lucy Ann.
He later told me that Sallie Belle and Eddie would talk about visiting their
half brother/sister, Conway and Lucy Ann. Note that on p. 54M that Nancy is listed
as b. 1852. This has created some confusion about their age. As researchers we
all have experienced census record dates that can vary as much as 10 years from
census to census. In this case it is 4 years for Nancy b. 1848. During that
initial visit Chestley also advised that Benson was the father of Calvin. This
info as well as the above was sent to you on 15 April, 1997. You responded on
16 April, 1997 with kind words. On 19 April, 1997 I sent you an email relating
additional info about Calvin execution in Boonesville. All of this has been
proven to be true. Chestley then put us in touch with Adam's grand daughter who
we visited the afternoon of same day. He advised that Adam and Roberta Lawson
Shiflett were her grandparents. He also discussed Roberta's father, Jesse,
being murdered. The granddaughter confirmed that Chestley was correct and that
they were her paternal grandparents. She also stated that Adam's father was
Gustan Shiflett. She later stated that according to her grandfather, Adam,
Gustan and Nancy were never married and that Gustan was a "field
horse" (stud horse?). She also mentioned Adam, Convie (Conway), Sallie and
Ida was the children of Nancy. Neither Chestley or the granddaughter knew of
Rosa for she died in 1923 and lived some 40 miles away in Red Hill. She also
mentioned in a later visit that her maternal grandfather were Jesse and that he
was a fighter and was "setup to be killed". He was know as 'Fighting
Jesse'. We all now know about Jesse. I had forgotten about the info on Gustan
until about 6 months ago when I launched into Nancy's line again and revisited
all my previous notes.
The point of the above demonstrates Chestley's and Mildred's credibility. Are
they perfect? No. I cannot find fault if they didn't recall Adam's father's name
or all the grandchildren and great grandchildren of Nancy. It took some time to
sort out this line. Chestley had advised me a number of times not to go too
deep in my research. I believe he knew more about Nancy than he wanted to
discuss in our early discussions. This was probably his good intentions not to
have LaVerne embarrassed by the indiscretions/wedlocks in her line. What a
gentleman!!! After seeing my final draft on Nancy he confirmed that the info
was "probably true" on Nancy's children, father of her children, etc.
If you know Chestley this means it is correct.
***** Comments to Nina's email *****
1st para. I don't know of very many instances where indiscretions are
documented!!!!!!! Yes, Chestley is the source for Henry B. and Nancy as noted above.
I offer no apology in using this information from this very credible couple.
2nd para. "Chestley indicated Henry was married to Nancy J. when she and
Henry was 15 years old" First of all Chestley was trying to be helpful to
Nina and Neva. This info was taken from one of my early draft that I had
provided to the Gibson. We now know that Henry was born 1850 and Nancy was born
1848. "Calvin had a son named Henry but that he disappeared and no one
knew what happened to him" Again Chestley had advised us in 13 November,
1997, that Henry had left the area and he knew very little about him after he
left. I have also stated to you and Larry that Henry left very few footprints
after 1900. Now we know that he moved to W.Va. I fail to understand her
statement in the next para that "Second, Henry didn't disappear from the
hollar". We know that he left the area!!!!!!!! "Chestley says that
Adam was Henry's son". I have already responded above.
3rd para. As I have done a considerable amount of genealogy research and have
written two books and working on a third I have found that indiscretions are
not necessarily known by all of the family members and often by none. This is
not amazing. This is the case with Nancy for descendants have shared
information of indiscretions with me in confidence that other family members
have no knowledge. That is the kind of trust that I have earned. They know that
I will not share confidential information. For the remaining of the paragraphs
I will state again that Chestley and Mildred credibility has been outstanding
as noted above. Except for Adam their track record has been excellent. I don't
really don't care if Nina accepts Nancy link or not. I have documented on the
site where the source of data on the fathers of her children. I believe the
site to be correct. The info that I provided for the site, good or bad
reflections, was intended to be accurate and informative. I believe that we
have achieved that goal. I am sorry that Nina has refused to be opened minded
on this subject. This is her lost. I am also sorry to have respond in this
manner for it is not my style or character, however, the tone and implications
of Nina email is not acceptable. Sorry for the long response. LaVerne and I are
going to Monterey Maple Syrup Festival on Sunday. We will be thinking about you
and the guys. Thanks again for all of your help. Norm

MRS. GEORGE W. SHIFFLETT
Mrs. Belle Shifflett, widow of George W. Shifflett, died Wednesday afternoon at
the family residence at Boonesville. She was a native of Greene County, a
daughter of the late Henry and Nancy A. Shifflett. She is survived by four
daughters, Mrs. Zettie Morris, of Simmons Gap, and Mrs. Jessie Rossen, Mrs.
Jack Rossen, and Mrs. Willie Rossen of Albemarle, a son xxxxx S. Shifflett, of
Boonesville and 25 grandchildren. Funeral services will be held Saturday at 2
PM from Prize Hill Church, with interment to follow in the church cemetery.
From Patsy Shiflett Hiter: "My great-grandmother, Sally Belle Shiflett,
was a great lady. This tiny woman will always be a symbol of strength and
courage to me. She had coal black hair that fell below her waist when she
brushed it. I used to think it was dyed but, now I know, the only thing she put
on it was the lye soap she used for washing. She was quiet and soft-spoken and
with apron and high-button-top shoes, she was the picture of a pristine lady. I
don't ever remember seeing her without an apron and button-top shoes. She was
already elderly when I was born. After her husband died she moved in with us.
She was my Father's Grandmother on his Mother's side. Grandma Belle babysat
with me and my three siblings while my parents worked. She made sure we were
fed and sent off to school. I have wonderful memories of her when I was growing
up. One such memory was the day my two brothers, James and LeRoy, my cousin
Dorothy and I were playing ball in the house while we were waiting for the
school bus. The ball rolled under the refrigerator and in our leisurely attempt
to retrieve it we all missed the bus. We decided to walk to the country store a
couple miles away and get a soda pop to share with our bag lunches. As we were
leaving the store the superintendent of schools drove by. He stopped and asked
us why we weren't in school. When we told him about missing the school bus he
offered to drive us to school. We told him that our Grandma Belle and little
sister, Genevieve, wouldn't know where we were. That didn't matter to him. He
drove us to school anyway and gave us a dime. When we didn't come home Grandma
Belle and my four year old sister walked to the store looking for us. The store
clerk, Mrs. Carrie Davis, told her the school superintendent had given us a
ride. When we got home later that night we all got a lecture. We learned our
lesson and never did that again. Grandma Belle's death left a huge void and my
life was never the same. How fortunate I am to have known such a wonderful and
loving woman. My Great Grandmother Belle"
Sallie married George William "Sonny" Shifflett, son of Reaves (Reeves Rives) Shiflett and Amanda J. (Mandy) Shiflett, on 13 Jan 1888 in Greene Co., VA.

We found the divorce decree for Martha and Sampson. It is dated May 1879, about
5 months before he remarries. That explains Martha still being a Walton in the
1880 census. Martha and Sampson had one other child, Virginia Alice, who is
living with her daddy's parents in the 1880 Rockingham Co., Census. Going by
Sanford's and Margaret's birth years, it looks like Henry B. and Martha began living
together shortly after Sanford's birth. And continued to have children, a total
of 12 with Henry B.
Had 3 children who died before 1900 Census that are not listed.

Notes from Neva Adams
I haven't pursued this line of research yet, but a few weeks ago George
Shifflet wrote me and said he thought that Mary J, dau. of Henry B. and Martha
lived and married someone else. It's certainly a possiblity since we assume she
died from 1) not being listed in the 1900 census with the rest of the children
2) only 1 granddaughter ever heard of Margaret having a twin and no one knows
of a Mary J. who was part of the family. The son Chrisley did not stay in WV
with the rest of the family and moved back to VA, living with someone till his
death from Bright's disease, so it could have been a sister rather than Charles
family like we thought (based on Chrisley being buried in Charles family plot
area of Prize Hill Cem.)
I also have a death date for Mary Jane, dau. of Henry B. & Martha WALTON
Shiflett. The 1880 Monroe, Greene Co., VA census lists her as having been born
abt 1875. A granddaughter of Margaret Shiflett (dau. of Henry B. & who
would have been the twin to Mary) told me once that Margaret had said that
Martha did have twins.
In the Monroe, Greene Co. Death Records it lists Mary Shiflett, age 13, having
died in August 1886 of unknown causes. Her parents were H. & M. Shiflett.
The age is 2 yrs off from the census records. I am assuming that the death age
is incorrect since Alice & Sanford were Martha's only 2 children by Sampson
Davis, and Mary would have fallen between their ages going by the death age.

It looks like the census taker made an error and put William Stevens age 67 and

The birth records for Eugene in Albemarle county shows 1893, but the family

ACQUIT BOYS OF SHOOTING WOMAN
Fraziers Exonerated of Maliciously Wounding Mrs. Shiflett
After deliberating less than one hour a jury in circuit court yesterday
afternoon ended a two-day trial by a verdict acquitting Roy Frazier and George
Washington Frazier, both sixteen, charged with the felonious shooting of Mrs.
Mary Shiflett, wife of Spriggin Shiflett, near Mount Fair, March 7. The count
constituted a felony and specifically charged malicious shooting with a
shotgun, punishable by a long prison term. From what could be gathered by the
maze of evidence offered by numerous witnesses on both sides, the court
proceedings were the climax of a long standing grudge between the Frazier and
Shiflett families and especially between Spriggin Shiflett and George
Washington Frazier.
Account of Shooting
The complainants alleged that Mrs. Shiflett received a shot wound in her right
arm from a gun fired by one of the two boys. In his wife's absence, Spriggin
Shiflett testified the youths were in the road near his house and when Mrs.
Shiflett returned from a nearby spring they fired upon her, inflicking a flesh
wound. Hearing her scream, he stated, he ran from the house and fired his rifle
toward the boys as they fled to the home of Edgar Frazier, father of Roy, who
lives on the adjoining place. Dr. L. G. Roberts of White Hall, who examined the
alleged victim that night, testified he could not find the shot but noticed a
small scar which might have been caused in this manner.
Defense Statement
A very different aspect, however, was placed upon the affair by the defense.
According to the defendants Spriggin Shiflett started all the trouble by
shooting his rifle toward the Frazier home, narrowly missing a small child, for
no apparent reason whatever except to frighten George Washington and then
invented what they considered the fantastic account of the affair to avoid his
getting into trouble.
Involved Still
The correct story, according to George Washington, was somewhat like this:
Spriggin was a moonshiner. Sometime before he (George) with a companion walked
upon Spriggin in the woods with a still slung across his shoulder. Spriggin
drew a gun and the two youths ran home. Older members of the family advised
them to report it to the Sheriff. Sheriff Smith was notified, but when officers
got to the mountainous region, no evidence was found against Spriggin. This,
however, George Washington maintained, was the whole cause of the difficulty.
Spriggin was afraid that George, who was visiting Roy, constituted a menace to
certain enterprises being undertaken in the hollow and wished to frighten him away.
E. V. Walker and R. L. Jackson, defense counsel attempted to establish an alibi
for both Frazier boys, showing through several witnesses that Roy had spent the
entire day at home and that George Washington was with Chap Wood in White Hall
at the time of the shooting.
112 M vi. Thomas L. Shiflett was born on 5 Jan 1894 in VA, died on 19 Oct 1965 in Dundalk, Baltimore Co., MD at age 71, and was buried in Bel Air Memorial Gardens Cemetery, Baltimore Co., MD.

Hi Gina & Bob,
I called Thomas Jefferson Shifflett this morning and asked him about his uncle
Jackson Shifflett. He said that he didn't know a lot about Jackson. I will list
what little he did know.
1. Jackson was a policeman in D.C.
2. He was a minister in this area before he went to D.C.
3. He does have a son who lives in DC.
4. Thomas said that no one contacted him or his family when Jackson died and he
doesn't know when he died.
Jackson married someone.

Hi Bob,
I have Walter L. Shiflett married to Maggie Jessie Sheets in 1917 in
Cumberland, Maryland. Walter died in 1946. Maggie was born May 27, 1897 at
Cheat Bridge, West Virginia and died July 14, 1984 (RCDR Book 11, Page 49).
Maggie was a daughter of Jake and Anna Sheets. They had children: Sally
Catherine, Gracie Flo, Walter L. Jr., Gerald C., Roy P., Lonis S., Glenna Dare,
Geneva, George L., Edgar and Curtis. Lonis is still living here in Elkins, WV.
He was previously married to my cousin's sister in law and lived in Glady just
two miles from where I grew up. He was very good friends with my grandmother
and I have known him almost all of my life. Even though we were both
Shifflett's, we were not related. He retired from the railroad and is working
at the local Krogers store now. I will ask Lonis the next time I go to Krogers
if he knows his grandfather's name. I will let you know what I find out.

From "The Higbee News" dated 12 May 1899--Miss Dollie Burton is the

From "The Higbee News" dated 9 June 1905--Mrs. Dollie Shiflet and
little son, of Moberly, are visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Burton.
3 Jan 1908--A visit of Jas. W. Burton and Mrs. W. J. Shifflet, of Moberly, with
their brother, Wisdom Burton, and wife Wednesday, was the cause of a good joke
on Wisdom, which he enjoys as much as anyone. The visitors were to return home
that night, and Mr. Burton and wife and Mr. A. G. Atkins and wife, with whom
they live, thought they would remain up until train time--about midnight. Soon
after bedtime the hours began to drag, when Jim proposed to Wisdom that they
play a game of checkers, but as the latter knew nothing of the game, flinch was
suggested, as all could be entertained. When Wisdom came to look for the cards,
however, they couldn't be found, and as he was anxious for a game he
volunteered to run over to a neighbor's and borrow a pack. After arousing his
neighbor from a sound slumber, and apologizing for having done so, he informed
him that he would like to borrow a checkerboard. The neighbor had no board, and
Wisdom returned home empty-handed. Not until he was asked if he got the cards
did he remember what he had gone after.

MARY BURTON SHIFLETT
MRS. WALTER SHIFLETT, MOBERLY, DIES SUNDAY-- Higbee friends and acquaintances
were shocked Sunday morning when word came that Mrs. Walter Shiflett, born and
reared here, had passed away at 2:30 that morning in Woodland Hospital
following an illness of only a few days. It was known that she was not in the
best of health, having suffered from asthma for a year or more, but no one
dreamed, not even her family, that she was in a serious condition, going to the
hospital, we understand, more for complete rest than for medical treatment, and
her passing came as a fearful shock to family and friends. Deceased was the
daughter of William and Mary Burton and was born on the old home place just
northeast of town on March 4,1879, and was in her 66th year, and resided here
until 1901, when she moved to Moberly, following her marriage and where she had
since resided. She is survived by her husband, a son, W. B. Shiflett, of Kansas

From: BShiflett@WebTV.net
I am the daughter of Thomas Shiflett and granddaughter of Anfield and Mattie
Kirkpatrick Shiflett who were from the Charlottesville and Staunton, VA area.
Dad was named after an uncle and I was named after his grandmother (Barbara Ann
Frazier Shiflett). Grandpa was known as "Dobbin" as a child. In 1917
he and Mattie were living in Augusta Springs, VA when he received an offer of
employment at a roofing factory in Franklin, OH. His employment at the roofing
factory was short-lived. According to my father (who died in 1983), Grandpa
told him that he had to quit the work at the factory because "his shoe
soles were getting thin." He said if you wore out a pair of shoes at a job
it meant you would be there the rest of your life and he didn't like the job
that well. I have the letter written to Grandpa offering employment dated
2-22-17 from R.G. (Robert) Ayres, a former co-worker from Augusta Springs -- he
would make 22 1/2 cents per hour for a 60 1/2 hour work week. Grandpa opened a
small family grocery store in Franklin which he operated for 31 years before
retiring and my uncle (Joseph) Earl Shiflett continued there until the store
closed and Uncle Earl and Aunt Helen moved to Venice, FL where they still
reside. My grandparents had 8 children--Burnice, Mary Helen Mitchell, Agnes
Thelma Phillips, Juanita "Billie" Mears, Blanche Woodward Pfitzinger
who resides in Hilton Head, SC, Joseph Earl of Venice,FL and Bertha Mae Yeager
of Middletown. When Grandpa "moved West" so did 3 of his brothers,
who continued to Missouri. Dad used to love to make visits back to Virginia to
listen to family stories. He spoke fondly of his Aunt Deniza and a cousin
Reesy? Dad retired from NCR in Dayton but also worked part-time at the Lebanon
Raceway, his sister's appliance store (Phillips in Franklin), and served 30
years on the local veterans commission. Dad was a sergeant in WW II - one man
who served a short time in his outfit was Mickey Rooney. Dad never mentioned
according to my mother.
Anfield married Mattie Belle Kirkpatrick,
daughter of George R. Kirkpatrick and Louticia (Letiticia) E. Glover,
on 17 Jun 1906 in Belle's Valley, Rockbridge Co., VA. Mattie was born on 21 May
1883 in Rockbridge Co., VA, died on 22 Nov 1957 in Butler Co., OH at age 74,
and was buried in Wood Hill Cemetery, Franklin, Warren Co., OH.
Children from the marriage of Anfield and Mattie were:
160 M i. Burnice Shiflett was born on 16 Mar 1908 in Augusta Springs, Augusta Co., VA, died on 29 May 1918 in Middletown, Butler Co., OH at age 10, and was buried in Wood Hill Cemetery, Franklin, Warren Co., OH.
General Notes:
Burnice was hit by a car when he was on his way home from delivering and
sharing lunch with his father at the roofing factory where Anfield was employed
at that time. He died 3 days after the accident.

Obituary From The Dayton Daily News, Dayton, OH, Feb. 2, 2002
BLANCHE SHIFLETT WOODWARD PFITZINGER
Service held for Mrs. Woodward Pfitzinger By Angelle Haney, Dayton Daily News
DAYTON -- Even after she married Ted Woodward and moved to Dayton in 1947,
Blanche Woodward Pfitzinger would still drive down to her father's grocery
store on River Street in Franklin to pick up a few things here and there. In
her bright red 1956 Cadillac convertible. Sporting her full length mink coat.
And then it was back home up Dixie Highway, according to her nephew, former
Franklin Mayor Jim Mears. Friday, Family and friends from all over the country
gathered to celebrate the life of the woman known affectionately to all of them
as "Aunt Bee." When her nieces and nephews came to the Woodward's big
house on Yale Avenue to visit Aunt Bee, they were in for a good time. "She
would take us out for rides in her convertible," Mears said. "And you
knew she wouldn't make you brush your teeth or worry too much about
bedtimes." A niece, Barb Shiflett of Franklin, said, "She was a
wonderful, generous person. All the cousins were crazy about Aunt Bee."
Mrs. Woodward Pfitzinger worked at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base for the
intelligence division, was a buyer for the L.S. Ayers department store chain
and a real estate agent in Dayton and in South Carolina. She also was an active
force in founding Dayton philanthropic organizations, including the Dayton
Opera Guild and the Cox Heart Institute Auxiliary. "She was instrumental
in getting the Cox Heart Institute at Kettering" Hospital, Mears said.
"She was part of that group of women from the Dayton Country Club who got
things done. "She was a lady who was a mover and a shaker." And she
comfortable in the company of other movers and shakers. "Oh, we have some
great pictures of her," Shiflett said. "There's one of her with Telly
Savalas, another with Richard Crenna and his wife in a bar in New York City,
and one from Spain, in 1978, with an ocelot!" Added Mears: "There's
even a story that she went to the Indianapolis 500 with Clark Gable, back in
the forties." Mears declined to say whether his aunt and Mr. Gable were
romantically involved. After the death of her husband in 1974, Mrs. Woodward
moved to Hilton Head Island, S.C., where she met and married Harry A.
Pfitzinger, a Mobil Oil executive. In 1988, at 73, she and her husband traveled
to Seoul, South Korea, to watch her stepson, Peter Pfitzinger, compete in the
Olympic marathon. It typified the fearless, giving spirit that had always
endeared her to those who knew her. "Anybody who met her just fell in love
with her," Mears said. "She just had that kind of personality."
Mrs. Woodward Pfitzinger is survived by stepdaughter Anne Larocca of California
and stepson Peter Pfitzinger of New Zealand; her sister Bertha Yeager of
Middletown and brother Earl Shiflett of Florida. Arrangements were handled by
Eaton-Anderson-Unglesby Funeral Home, Franklin.

IN MEMORIAM
In Loving memory of our dear father and husband, John C. Shifflett,
who passed away 19 years ago, Feb. 25, 1958.
We live a short while on earth below
Reluctant to die for we do not know
Just what "Dark death" is all about
And so we view it with fear and doubt
Not certain of what is around the bend
We look on death as the final end
To all that made us a mortal being
And yet there lies just beyond our seeing
A beautiful life so full and complete
That we should leave with hurrying feet
To walk with God by sacred streams
Amid beauty and peace beyond our dreams
For all who believe in the RISEN LORD
Have been assured of this reward
And death for them is just "graduation"
To a higher realm of wide elevation
For life on earth is a transient affair
Just a few brief years in which to prepare
For a life that is free from pain and tears
Where time is not counted by hours or years
For death is only the method God Chose
To colonize heaven with the souls of those
Who by their apprenticeship on earth
Proved worthy to dwell in the land of new birth
So death is not sad... it's a time for elation
A joyous transition... the soul's emigration
Into a place where the soul's SAFE and FREE
To live with God through ETERNITY!
Loving wife, Linnie Shifflett and children

HARRY SHIFLETT SLAIN NEAR BOONESVILLE
Another killing near Boonesville occurred the night of April 9 in which two
families prominent in that locality are involved, and as a result Wesley
Sullivan and his son Golden Sullivan, were lodged in jail at Charlottesville by
Sheriff J. Mason Smith and his deputies, under a warrant charging them with the
murder of Harry Shiflett, son of Susan Shiflett.
The affair occurred about 10 o'clock and within a few hours the sheriff was
aroused at his home by members of the Shiflett family who came down to make the
report, and he promptly set out with his two deputies, Abbott and Aldine Smith.
They went to the Sullivan home, only a few hundred yards distant from the home
of the slain man and then visited Justice P. M. Elliott, who immediately set
about summoning a coroner's jury to hold an inquest over the body. They worked
through the night hours. The jury assembled at the Shiflett home and heard the
evidence submitted. As a result, a warrant was issued for the Sullivans, father
and son, charging them with the killing, and they were lodged in the county
jail.
According to the evidence submitted, Harry Shiflett was killed at the house
gate where he had got out of his car to drive into his home. There were marks
of shot on the car when it was examined by the coroner's jury and the young man
was shot in the head, neck and face by the charge of a gunshot. It was supposed
that he died instantly, as the body was found lying prone in the gateway when
members of the family rushed out at the sound of the firing. It is supposed
that both of the accused men took part in the firing, though the warrant lays
the charge directly against Golden, the younger of the Sullivans.
As yet no motive for the affair has been discovered, although it is said in the
neighborhood that there was an old grudge between the two families. It was
concluded that young Shiflett had gotten out of his car to open the gate to let
himself in and was fired at without any warning. It is also stated that Mrs.
Sue Shiflett received some scattering of shot, indicating that there was
further firing done after her son, Harry, was killed.
A pathetic feature of the killing is the fact that Harry Shiflett, had only
recently been married, though he was not accompanied by his wife at the time of
the sad tragedy. Shiflett was about 27 years old and considered one of the most
promising and reliable young farmers of his name in the Boonesville section.
Bertha next married Ernest Sullivan. Marriage status: friends.
Bertha next married Everett Edward Mock, son of Edward Mock and Frances Jones, on 15 May 1937 in Fairfax Co., VA. Everett was born on 19 Dec 1900, died on 21 Mar 1987 in Manassas, Prince William Co., VA at age 86, and was buried in Fairfax Memorial Park Cemetery, Fairfax Co., VA.

I am the grandaughter of Arbutus Ola Marshall who is in your Benson Shiflet
tree. You have her married to an unknown Morris. Her husband was Richard Morris
and they were married on Jun. 3, 1936. I have a copy of their marriage
certificate. There is a discrepency on the certificate. She was raised by
relatives because she was told her mother died when she was born which I find
this maybe not to be true. The marriage certificate has her being Beautis Ola
Roberts. Her guardians who signed the certificate were Johnnie and Nora
Roberts. Arbutus is buried at the Pleasant Valley Church of the Brethren.
William Henry Marshall is buried in the Port Republic Cemetery. There are many
more children and a second wife. If you are interested I can send more
information. I also have a tree that I have been working on at ancestry.com.

Hi Norm and Bob
On the Benson Shiflett Chart, Levi Givens Shiflett who married Parthena Garner
shows a daughter, Alfretta. She actually married Alfred Herring, one of the
children of my husband's ancestor. Her birth date as listed on the chart is
1879 - is it possible this could have been 1869? On the marriage record
(Rockingham County) 19 Apl 1887, it shows Alfretta M. Shiflett, 18, single, dau
of L.G. and Parthena. She married Alfred Herring, 21, single, son of Nicholas
and Nancy Herring. I am copying Julie on this, so that if you agree, you can
let her know. Thanks, Mary Herring
Alise married Alfred L. Herring, son of Nicholas A. (Shiflett) Herring and Nancy Christine Lawson, on 19 May 1887 in Albemarle Co., VA. Alfred was born on 5 Jul 1866 in VA, died on 9 Feb 1949 in Greene Co., VA at age 82, and was buried in Chestnut Grove Cemetery, Charlottesville, Albemarle Co., VA.

EVIDENCE POINTS TO MURDER OF SHIFLET BY HIS SON
Carrington, N. D., Dec. 13. Acceptance of the theory that J. W. Shiflet, a
prominent Foster county man, was murdered by his son, the body being cremated
in a straw stack, is accorded by an insurance company, which has just settled a
policy carried by the murdered victim. J. W. Shiflet dropped out of eight last
spring, and when officials began inquiry they found evidence leading to the
suspicion that Anfield Shiflet knew something of his father's disappearance.
Working on this theory, the lad was confronted with the possibility of arrest,
and he sought safety in flight Tracked down, the young man gave battle with the
sheriff, and committed suicide. Subsequently, forged letters were uncovered
that bore out the state's theory, and a few bones found in a straw stack were
declared human bones. A ring and a few buttons also were found, establishing
the theory that the boy killed his father and then burned the body. The process
required several days, according to evidence gained from neighbors who have
seen young Shiflet about the ghastly funeral bier of his parent.
Joseph married Mary Elizabeth "Lizzie, Mollie" Lowman, daughter of Abraham (Laman) Lowman and Ann V. Kinzie, on 24 Jun 1888 in Rockingham Co., VA. Mary was born on 14 Nov 1865 in Rockingham Co., VA, died on 24 May 1914 in Carrington, Foster Co., ND at age 48, and was buried in Pleasant Valley Church of the Brethren Cemetery, Weyers Cave, Augusta Co., VA. The cause of her death was Suicide by shooting.

Carrington, Foster, North Dakota. Death was reported as a suicide (found shot
in basement with a rifle) at first but later was found to be murdered by her
son Anfield Shiflet. Anfield later shot himself while plowing a field when
police office came to speak with him. Anfield Death may 8, 1916 in Carrington,
Foster, North Dakota. Anfield was also thought to have murdered his father
Joseph W. Shiflet and burnt Joseph's body in a hay stack.
Her death was reported as a suicide. The local newspapers had blamed her
suicide on 2 factors. The first incident was the disappearance of her eldest
son, William Shiflet. William disappeared in Jan 1908. The second was caused by
the criminal actions of her youngest son Anfield Shiflet in 1913.
Hi Bob,
I received Elizabeth Mary Shiflet's death cert today from North Dakota. She was
indeed buried in Slinton VA on Jun 1, 1914. Her father's name was John Lowman
and Miss Morris (or something close to that., I will zoom in and try and get a
better view of it). The informant was J. W. Shiflet. His signature matches the signature
of the postcard he sent Mrs. Marhsall.

CARRINGTON MAN MISSING YEARS IS HEARD FROM
Letter Received Purporting to be Signed by William Shifflet after 14 YEARS
Carrington, N. D., March 13.- Through a letter received here by Richard
Tenborg, purported to have been signed by William Shiflet, who disappeared from
Carrington more than, 14 years ago, the mysterious exit of Shiflet may be
cleared, in the belief of authorities familiar with the case. The letter was
postmarked Coldwater, Mich., and inquired about the Shiflet family. Contents of
the letter, the body of which is believed to have been written by a person
other than the signer, says: I am writing you to find the whereabouts of a
family by the name of Jos. W. Shiflet. Fourteen years ago they lived on a farm
located from three to five miles east of the city; I have forgotten the exact
distance. Have forgotten the R. P. D. number also." I am sick in bed and
would like to locate, him if possible." Family records coming to
Carrington from Virginia more than 20 years ago, the Shiflet family had a
record of sensetions here. One day about 14 years Willie and Anfield Shiflet
were in Carrington. Willie disappeared late in the afternoon and there had
never been a trace of him until this week when the letter supposed to have been
written for him arrived. He was then a lad of 15 or 16 years old. Some years
later, upon their return in the afternoon from field work, Mrs. Shiflet, the
mother, was found dead in the cellar of the house. A rifle was found near her
and it was generally believed she had taken her life.
Thought Father Cremated
About six years ago, Joe Shiflet, the father, also disappeared. His son,
Anfield, who had gained some fame as "the boy preacher," maintained
that his father had gone to Washington to sell the rights to the Allies to use
a "bullet deflector" that Anfield had invented. The deflector, upon
later investigation turned out to be a cow bell filled with mud. A day or two
before the culmination of this phase of the Shiflet history a letter was
received here signed by "Joseph Shiflet," and telling the success he
was having in Washington selling the deflector. The letter bore a Soo railway
post office mark.
"Boy Preacher" Kills Self
Suspicion grew rapidly that the elder Shiflet had been murdered by his son
Anfield and the body burned in a Strawstack on the farm. A. E. Morgan, then
sheriff went to the farm to arrest Anfield. The boy had fled in an auto. Mr.
Morgan later got his trail and found him on a farm near.-iSelz on the-new Great
Northern line near Harvey. There Anfield was found plowing in a field. When he
saw the sheriff coming across the plowing after him, the boy pulled out a revolver
and killed himself. Some small metal articles were found in the burned
strawpile and (were identified as belonging to the elder Shiflet and although
it has never been, fully established that he was killed and his body burned to
ashes there, such has been the general belief. Edward Shiflet, the other boy in
the family, moved soon after these tragedies to Beaver Dam, Wis., where he was
married. He died during the flu epidemic three years ago. There was little
equity left to the family in the Shiflet farm near Carrington and in due time
it was sold through the county court. An effort will now be made to try to have
the identity of Willie Shiflet proven.

FIND LONG MISSING MAN AT COLDWATER
Disappeared From Carrington, N. D., 14 years Ago, After Family Row
SECRET WELL GUARDED
COLDWATER, Mich., March 17th (By A. P.) -- A mystery that has puzzled
Carrington, North Dakota authorities for the past 11 years was solved Thursday
when William Shiflet, who was known here as John Hartman, was found near death
from tuberculosis.
Fourteen years ago Shiflet disappeared from his home in Carrington. The town
and country-side were searched for days, as it was thought he had been
murdered.
Subsequently his mother and father were killed and another son when accursed of
the act, committed suicide. The influenza a year or two later took the last
brother with the exception of William, who had never been heard from, this
wiping out the family, it was believed.
KEPT SECRET FROM WIFE
William Shiflet was found here through a clue furnished by Carrington officers.
So well had the secret been kept that not even the man's wife had ever heard of
his dual identity.
When interviewed Thursday, he said he was forced to leave home on account of trouble
between himself and his father. On account of love for his mother he had many
times been tempted to return home, but the trouble with the father kept him
away, he said.
Shiflet has been married seven years and has a wife and three daughters, the oldest
of which is six. Doctors say the tuberculosis is so far advanced that Shiflet
cannot live longer than a month or two

Surrounded by a posse of deputy sheriffs and citizens, Anfield Shiflet,
twenty-four years old, suspected of killing his father, Joe Shiflet, a farmer
east of Carrington and burning the body in a straw pile, committed suicide at
Selz, Pierce County. Anfield Shiflet, who killed himself near Carrington when
confronted by arrest for the murder of his father, was made the beneficiary in
a $2,000 insurance policy issued several months ago and police officials
believe this supplies motive for the crime.

to the statement of Foster county officials. Two weeks ago the body of Joseph
Shiflet was found in a burning straw stack. Two years ago Mrs. Shiflet was
found dead at the foot of the basement stairs in their home killed by a gunshot
wound. Anfield Shiflet was the only person on the farm at that time. Following
an investigation the coroner's jury returned a verdict of suicide. Nine years
ago a brother of Anfield Shiflet disappeared. When last seen he was with
Shiflet. Circumstances surrounding the death of Joseph Shiflet, lead the
'authorities to' believe Anfield, was responsible for his death. When the
sheriff went to arrest the man he fled, and was later surrounded in a
cornfield, where he killed himself.

FORMER WEYERS CAVE BOY ENDS LIFE WHEN ACCUSED
ANSFIELD SHFFLETT CHARGED WITH MURDER OF PARENTS AND BROTHER IN NORTH DAKOTA
Surrounded By Posse He Sends Bullet Into Brain
Son of Joseph Shifflett, Whose Mother was Miss Mollie Lowman, Suspected by
Officers of Long Career of Crime-Mrs. Shifflett Shot to Death Two Years
ago-Body of Father Found in Burning Straw Stack Recently - Family Well Known in
South Rockingham and Augusta.
Wanted for the murder of his father, mother and brother and cornered by a
sheriff's posse, Anfield Shifflett, a native of Weyers Cave, ended his life
near Carrington, North Dakota, on May 9, by shooting himself through the head
with a revolver. This Information was received by mail yesterday by relatives
in Rockingham and Augusta counties. The body of Joseph Shifflett, father of
Anfield Shifflett, was found in a burning straw stack two weeks before the son
killed himself. The suicide according to the belief of the Foster County
authorities, ended a long career of crime. Neighbors found the body when
attracted to the place by the burning straw. Circumstantial evidence pointed
strongly to the guilt of Ansfield, who was twenty-four years old. It was
recalled also that Mrs. Lizzie Shifflett, the mother of the young man died
under suspicious circumstances two years ago. Her body was found at the foot of
the basement stairs in her home with a gunshot wound through the head. The
coroner's jury decided that she had taken her own life. It was regarded as
significant, however, that Ansfield Shifflett was the only other person on the
farm at the time of the tragedy. Another member of the family, a boy,
mysteriously disappeared nine years ago, and his body has never been found. He
was last seen with Ansfield Shifflett. Public sentiment was keenly aroused
following the death of the father. Neighbors concluded that he had been
murdered by his son and that the young man had attempted to destroy the
evidence of h is crime by burning the body. The sheriff decided to force a
showdown, and with a picked body of men set out to arrest Ansfield. When the
young man saw there was no chance of escape, he drew a revolver and fired the
shot which ended his life. Joseph Shifflett, the father, was a native of
Albemarle County, Virginia, having been born near the East Rockingham line. He
married Miss Lizzie (better known as Mollie) Lowman, sister of John Lowman of
Weyers Cave. The family moved to North Dakota about fifteen years ago. He
prospered and at the time of his death was regarded as one of the most
substantial farmers of Foster County. The murders and suicide have removed all
but one member of the family. The survivor is Eddie Shifflett who lived with
his father and will inherit the estate. The messages received by relatives
yesterday contain no mention of motive which would have caused Anfield
Shifflett to take the lives of his father, brother, and mother.

Lucy Shifflet, 87 Is Fancy Knitter
By Vera V. Via
Mrs. Lucy Shifflett at 87 years of age can still turn out fancy knitting work.
From her supple fingers come yards of beautiful knitted lace, mats and doilies.
Mrs. Shifflet, who lives near Doylesville, was born in Greene County, the
daughter of Mrs. And Mrs. Givings Shifflet. When her mother died, Mrs. Shifflet
came to Blackwell's Hollow in Albemarle to live with an aunt. She grew up there
and learned her knitting skills from her aunt.
Knitting has been a life-long occupation, or pastime, for Mrs. Shifflet. During
the years she was busy raising a family, she knitted and sewed for their needs
and limited the fancy work to spare time.
She married Edward Shifflet and they lived in this general Albemarle area most
of their lives. In her later years Mrs. Shifflet worked as a companion to an
elderly lady. Upon her retirement she lived with some of her children.
At present Mrs. Shifflet lives with her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.
Holly. Although illness has limited her work around the house, she still
continues to knit. As a young woman Mrs. Shifflet joined many others in the
area digging genson root to sell. Great beds of genson once grew in the
mountain of Albemarle and many persons found digging the root a profitable
sideline. The root brought good prices --- and still does --- but Mrs.
Shifflett said so much has been dug up that the root is almost killed out.
Except for a small dog, Mrs. Shifflet spends most of her days alone. Friends
and relatives visit now and then to talk and watch her busy fingers knitting
the bright colored laces she sews on table cloths, pillow cases and other
items.
Her handwork is given by her to relatives and friends on birthdays and special
occasions. Since her home is near the road, she also has an opportunity to
watch the traffic that passes. Mrs. Shifflet said some members of her family
thought her true age to be 88 and that she would reach 89 in October. However,
Mrs. Shifflet takes issue with this and claims to be 87 now, of course, its a
lady's prerogative to drop a year or even several if she wishes.
Her memory and mind has the keenness of a much younger person and her hands are
still skillful with a needle. Before her illness last winter she no doubt could
have dropped quite a few years from her age. At that time she was so active no
one ever would have guessed.
Elizabeth married Edward "Dink" Lee Shiflett, son of Lindsay Shiflett and Mary Jane Keaton, on 14 May 1906 in Albemarle Co., VA. Edward was born on 28 May 1851 in Albemarle Co., VA, died on 6 Feb 1934 in Albemarle Co., VA at age 82, and was buried in Prize Hill Cemetery, Boonesville, Albemarle Co., VA.

Jan. 15, 2000, Conversation with Barbara Morris the great granddaughter of Adam
L. Shiflett
Just before Andrew Shiflett, s/o Adam, died he was living in a trailer next
door to his daughter and son-in-law Tim & Magdaline Morris. Their daughter
Barbara who was 16 yrs old at the time help to take care of Andrew. One day
during a conversation between Barbara and her grandfather, Andrew told her that
his father married for a second time after his mother Roberta died. One day the
women left Adam and moved to North Carolina and he never heard of her again.
They never had any children together. Barbara doesn't remember the woman's
name.
Andrew told another story about when him and his brother Jesse were kids they
were caught picking blackberries on a neighbor's farm and were warned not to do
it again. Well the temptation was to great and they decided one day to pick some
more blackberries and they were both caught. The neighbor had them taken to
jail. Their father Adam came down to the jail and got Jesse out but left Andrew
there. I guess Jesse was older and maybe more useful on the farm or maybe he
only had enough money to get out one of them.

GARRISON - MORRIS
Miss Edith M. Morris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Morris, of Boonesville
and Mr. Ernest S. Garrison, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Garrison of Dolysville,
were married on Fiday, December 24. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. O.
L. Haga, of the Methodist church.
Bob:
Thanks for the information on Edith Morris. In regard to the dates of birth for
Ernest and Jesse Homer, Ernest's birthdate comes from the 1920 Albemarle
Census. Jesse's dates come from the Social Security death index and cemetery
records. What I have here is a conflict in information given to me. There are
two Jesses. Jesse F. Garrison is the son of Ernest S. and Cora Dickerson
Garrison according to family members.
These family members were almost to the point of being militant about this. The
only thing I could find on Jesse F. Garrison was his burial in Prize Hill
Cemetery and the adamant assertion from people in his family that this was
Ernest and Cora's son.
Now, according to Jesse Homer's marriage records (and you'd think he knows who
his parents were), Jesse Homer Garrison is Ernest and Cora's son, but the
family says, no, he was the son of Ernest and Edith. I bowed to a lot of family
pressure on this, and put the relationships the way they wanted them, with
notes. The rest of that sentence in bold should read "the child of Ernest and
Cora". I was hoping that reading the marriage register evidence of Jesse
Homer's marriage would tip people off that this probably isn't right. If I had
found any other proof of the parentage of either of these Jesses, I would have
put it correctly, but since I only had the one marriage certifcate, I put it as
the family members wanted it.
If you ever come across any evidence of Ernest and Edith's children I'd
appreciate knowing it, because I don't think the family has the relationships
correct, but until I hit them with irrefutable proof, they're not going to
admit they are wrong. This is a bee's nest kind of like that "Who are
Austin Garrison's parents?" section. I felt like I had to stick my head in
that one, because I had facts that needed to be told; but I'm not ready to
offer my head up for this one yet.

Area lady has century of Greene, memories
BY ALLEN BROWNING Record Staff Writer
28 December 2000, Thursday, The Greene County Record, Stanardsville, VA
Irene Detimore may not get around as well as she would like or remember as much
as she would like, but she does very well considering she turned 100 years old
before Christmas Day. She was born Dec. 23, 1900 to George Ale and Selena
Michael Shiflett in Elkton. George Shiflett made his living as an ore miner as
part one of the many operations whose traces can still be seen, even today, in
that Shenandoah Valley town. Detimore's mother was a home-maker. Detimore has
only a shadowy recollection of life in the small wood frame house in Elkton,
because at the age of three she, her sister Rosie and her mother would have to
move when her father died at the age of 47.; "Tuberculosis"; she
said, recalling the cause of his death. "They said it was because he stood
in water all the time down in the mine". Confronted with the death of her
husband, Selena Shiflett decided to return to the only other home she had ever
known near Nortonsville on the Greene/Albemarle County line. What today is a
45-minute trip via U.S. 33 and Va. 810, in 1903, was a day's journey in the
family's wagon pulled by horses across Swift Run Gap. Detimore wouldn't see her
first motor vehicle until she was 14, which was owned by a local physician.
"That was the first car I ever saw", she remembered. "He was
coming around the bend near our house and I ran out just to see it".
Detimore's mother remarried and her new husband had children of his own who he
favored more than his stepchildren. "He wasn't good to me", she said.
"He beat me". Nortonsville, which now is little more than a cluster
of abandoned buildings on Va. 810, was once the hub of Shifflett Hollow, so
named for the primary denizens of the area. This was problematic for Detimore,
who at the time was also a Shifflett, when boys began to ask her out. "I'm
not going out with you", she recalled herself saying to many a suitor.
"I'm not going out with any Shifflett or any Morris because we're all
related". Eventually Detimore would find her life partner, but her 14th
year would be marred by tragedy. A mere 11 years after the move from Elkton,
Detimore's mother died from a stroke at the age of 44. Detimore had to move
from her stepfather's home and into her grandparent's house, while her sister
had to move into the home of one of her Aunts. Although Detimore missed her
mother terribly, it freed her from the tyranny of her stepfather. She spent the
next eight years living with her grandparents. "I think those were the
happiest eight years of my life", said Detimore. "Grandmother spoiled
me rotten!" It was on the front porch of that her life changed
again". I was washing on the washboard when a tall guy in a top buggy
stopped and came up the steps to deliver some pictures". Sam Detimore was
a World War I veteran who had returned home and was making his living working
for a Chicago based firm that went door to door picking up family photos to
have them enlarged. "He was very handsome", she recalled. He was also
neither a Shifflett nor a Morris, so she accepted Sam Detimore's marriage
proposal. Irene Detimore still has the photograph commemorating that day in
1922, in which she was married. The handsome couple in their period clothes,
forever suspended in time behind the glass. A large family rapidly followed.
Juanita was born in 1923, Selena in 1925, Ethel in1929, Otis in 1931 and
Delbert in 1933. The couple settled into the house owned by Sam Detimore's
father on Advance Mills Road. The house was promised to Sam Detimore, provided
he took care of his father and his aunt, which he did. Irene Detimore has lived
on that time, she rode in her first car and after 17 years of marriage she was
able to walk into a room and flip on a light switch, as the result of the 1939
Rural Electrification Act. She remembers when there was a mill at the end of
Advance Mills Road. "At Fray's store they ground corn into meal and wheat
into flour", Detimore recalled. "We did our grocery shopping there.
They sold everything even caskets. It was a big place". The Detimore's
made or grew everything else". I made all the children's clothes and Sam's
shirts", said Irene Detimore. The winds of 20th century turbulence were
also felt. The first was the Great Depression". It was pretty rough",
she said. "There was plenty of food, but no money". Sam Detimore
bought his family its first car in the early 1920s. It was an old bread truck.
Periodically, the family loaded up the truck with produce to sell in
Charlottesville. It was one of the few things that brought cash into the
household. Her two eldest daughters married and their husbands went off to
World War II. Detimore saw her own son sent to Korea and another to Europe. All
would return safely. After 50 years of marriage, her husband passed away in
1972". He was a good man and a good provider", said Detimore of her
deceased husband. Juanita, her eldest daughter died in 1994. Irene Detimore credits
her longetivity to her conversion to the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1938.
That same year, she also became a strict vegetarian. What ever her secret, it
has worked". People are living better today than they've ever lived,"
said Detimore "People call the old days
the good old days' they weren't always that good. Sometimes they were pretty
hard"

PAT SHIFLETT LOSES RACE IN ALBEMARLE
The following dispatch appeared in the Richmond Times Dispatch Thursday of last
week dated Charlottesville:
Pat Shiflett, of Nimrod, Greene county, styled by local police as the King of
Bootleggers,2 has at last been captured. He was taken into custody by Officers
Creaver and Marsh, of the local police force, after a sensational 5-mile run on
the new concrete road to Scottsville.
Shiflett made strenuous efforts to escape after being hailed near the southern
limits by the officers who saw him in the act of handling liquor containers. He
sped away in a Ford car in the direction of Scottsville, with Officer Maurice
Greaver hot on his trail. In the flight Pat undertook to lighten ship by
throwing our numerous half gallon jugs of new made liquor, and Officer Marsh
got out to salvage the cargo, to be used as evidence against the Greene county
flier. The officers, however, only secured four half-gallon jars, the balance
of the jetsam being broken.
Officer Greaver finished the chase at Gross' five-mile post when he forced
Shiflett to surrender by covering him with a pistol. On his surrendering he
searched his person and found that he bore no arms and then ordered him to
drive in front to the police station.
Shiflett was turned over to the county authorities and a warrant charging him
with transporting liquor
contrary to the Mapp act was served on him from the office of Justice Claude B.
Yardly. He was admitted to bail in the sum of $500.
PAT SHIFFLETT'S CASE
After disposing of the Dussenberry Finley dog shooting case Jan. 3, Judge John
W. Fishburne, in the Circuit Court of Albemarle, next called for trial of the
case Commonwealth against Pat Shiflett, indicted on a charge of having
unlawfully transported intoxicating liquor in June last and the balance of the
day was taken up in disposing of the same.
The case was hard fought from start to finish, Shiflett having employed a
strong staff of attorneys in his behalf, consisting of Attorneys R.C. Walker
and George E. Walker, of the local bar and Hon. Chas. A. Hammer, of
Harrisonburg, while the Commonwealth's interests were well looked after by Mr.
Eskridge Duke, acting for is father, Judge R.T. Duke, attorney for the
Commonwealth, who is still absent from duty because of sickness. The case went
to the jury after 4 0'clock in the afternoon, every point raised on both sides
having been covered by instructions from the Court and fully and ably argued by
the astute and experienced counsel for the accused. But the verdict went
against him, the jury finding guilty as charged and affixing the punishment of
$250 fine and four (4) months confinement in the county jail - the only
sentence the liquor vendors dread.
A large crowd was attracted to the Court to follow the proceedings and much
interest was manifested in every move of the hard fought legal battle. The
prosecution grew out of the sensational chase and arrest of Shiflett June 27,
1923, by Officer Maurice A. Greaver, after a race up the Scottsville road
nearly to Carter's Bridge. The officer had gone over to Moore's Creek with
officer J.C. Marsh after having received a tip at headquarters by phone message
form Sheriff J. Mason Smith, that Pat Shiflett had passed him at a rapid rate,
coming into town, adding that he might be bringing in liquor.
When the officers spied Pat he was on the level stretch just beyond the bridge
and when he spied them hopped into his car and got past Greaver, who attempted
to head him, and turned up the new concrete road toward Scottsville. they made
after him and when only a short distance on the new road, he spied a package by
the wayside. On reaching the spot it proved to be a heavy paper carton all tied
around with a good string, and containing 4 half gallon jars of regular bootleg
liquor, some having been broken up. This was guarded by officer Marsh, while
Greaver made chase after Shiflett in the police car and it proved a fast and
furious ride for both while it lasted. But the officer at last got his man
covered and gave up and came in.
The defense offered evidence to show that Shiflett had nothing in his car when
seen at points beyond the Creek, and even the Sheriff admitted that he was not
sure he saw the box as he whizzed by. And the accused man also claimed that he
had stopped his car where he was seen by the officers, because of engine
trouble. But the jury seemed to be convinced that the liquor was being carried
by Shiflett, and that he or his son, who was with him, had thrown it out and
rendered the verdict accordingly. The jury on the case were Messrs. W.E.
Sheperd, Andrew C. Brown, Ashby Adams, and A.M. Mays. After the verdict was
returned, counsel for the convicted man made a motion to set it aside as being
contrary to the law and evidence, and upon this being overruled by the Court,
noted an appeal to the Supreme Court. A stay for the purpose of filing a
petition for a new trial was then allowed to the first day of the February term
and Shiflett was allowed to give bail until then in the sum of $2000, A.A.
Shiflett and Lewis Morris qualifying and being accepted as sureties on his
bond.

SHIFLETT CAUGHT AGAIN - Following a tip that liquor was being delivered at a
point near Rivanna post office, Sheriff J. M. Smith and Policemen O. M. Wood,
& M. F. Greaver proceeded in that direction early Friday night.
Without any difficulty the officers quickly came upon Pat Shiflett and son, Pat
jr., who were in an automobile which contained 8 gallons of liquor, and in
addition thereto, there was a single barrel shotgun loaded. Both Shifletts were
brought here, where charges in two offenses were loaded against them, after
they were placed in jail to await a hearing before Magistrate C. R. Yardley.
Pat Shiflett has been a frequent violator of the prohibition laws, and is under
sentence for several offenses now. Very recently the supreme court sustained
two verdicts against him for fines of $500 and six months in jail, while a
third one of $250 and three months in jail is pending before that court on
appeal from the Corporation Court.

MORA LEE SHIFFLETT
Mrs. Mora Lee Shifflett died at 9:55 O'clock Saturday morning at her home at
Dundalk, Md. Funeral rites were held at 1 O'clock this afternoon from Prize
Hill Church at Boonesville. Mrs. Shiflett was a daughter of the late Thomas L.
Shiflett of Greene County and was 43 years of age. Surviving are six children
four sons and two daughters --- Earl, Claude, Austin and Donald Shiflett and
Misses Velma and Dorothy Shiflett. Note: Obit lists the name Austin but this
really should be Alvin
Mar 25, 2003
Info from Michael Burk, grandson of Mora L. and Ahas Wyatt Shiflett and son of
Dorothy Shiflett Burk told me that Mora's mother was Frances Catherine Shiflett
d/o Cornelius Turner Shiflett and Mariah Berry.
Jan 16, 2007
According to (Skip) Earl Loyd Shiflett, Jr., he has not been able to find any
proof as to the father of Mora. He doesn't think that Thomas is correct. His
Father and Aunt did not know who Mora's father was.
Unfortunately, Catherine took his name to her grave. No one will ever know.
That's the way I see it.

Mora married Ahas Wyatt Shiflett, son of Henry Harrison Shiflett Sr. and Luthena E. Shiflett, on 14 Oct 1915 in Greene Co., VA.

JOHN ELZIE SHIFLETT
The death of John Elzie Shiflett, of Boonesville, who died March 21, 1922, was
a shock to the community. Mr. Shiflett was once a undertaker for about 25
years. He then decided to be a farmer and now owns a fine farm. He was honorable
in his dealings and was a friendly man. His friendship was cherished by legions
including the writer. He was intelligent and progressive. John Shiflett was
twice married, first to Miss Ella Morris, of Page County, who died eight years
ago, the second, Miss Katherine Shiflett, of Cedarmere, who is left to mourn
his loss. Shiflett was in good health until the past two weeks. His death was
due to heart trouble. He was 73 and five days old. John Shiflett will be
greatly missed by all who knew him. He was a man ready to lend a helping hand
to every one. The funeral, March 23, was largely attended. The services were
conducted by Rev. Killis Roach, of Dyke, at Gentry's church where he was laid
to rest. Mr. Shiflett was a member of the Bible Christian church for 40 years.
Mr. Ed. Vernon was the undertaker.

Story from Naomi Roberts the daughter of James Randolph, Jan. 13, 2000
My step-mother, Virginia Snow Shiflett, had Dad's head piece with just
"Walter" on it. There is a story to that. When he was born, his
mother, Nellie Florence Shiflett, wanted to name him "Walter," but
her mother-in-law, Mariah, wanted to name him James, and when the paperwork
(back in those days, were filled out, his name was listed as "James
Randolph." Dad went all his early years being called "Walter"
because his mother had named him that. He even obtained a social security card
in the name of Walter Randolph Shiflett, and it was not until he moved to
Baltimore after he and my mother, Gladys Martha Shiflett, separated he went to
work at the shipyard and required his birth certificate. It was then that he
found out his name on the birth records was not "Walter" but James.
So, he in turn had to get another social security number. It really messed up a
lot of things for him.
James married Gladys Martha Shiflett, daughter of Thomas Lewis Shiflett and Lula V. Frazier, on 24 Dec 1934 in Greene Co., VA. The marriage ended in divorce. Gladys was born on 1 Aug 1916 in Greene Co., VA, died on 6 Apr 1990 in Baltimore, Baltimore Co., MD at age 73, and was buried in Parkwood Cemetery, Baltimore City, MD.

From Naomi Shiflett Roberts Dec 10, 2002 I found my mother's birth certificate.
It was from the Bureau of Vital Statistics, Commonwealth of Virginia. It has my
mother's name as "Martha Gladys" Shiflett (not Gladys Martha Shiflett
as I always thought). I had never noticed this before! I was sick last night
and this morning I looked it up. She had requested a certified copy from them
in 1977. I happened to find it when I was visiting my stepfather along with
Elizabeth (Liz) several months ago. I did not have time this morning to look up
their marriage license. She was born August 1, 1916 in Green County - Monroe
District. She and dad did get married December 14, 1934. I do know that is
correct -- but I don't know how her name was listed on the form that I have.
I'll dig for that later.

adopted at the age of 5 after her mother passed away. She had two sisters that
she was never able to find. I have their anniversary date and I will get that

Ruby Sullivan Shiflett, 90, of Stanardsville, passed away Tuesday, Oct. 2,
2001, at a Richmond hospital. She was born Sept. 17, 1911, in Greene County, a
daughter of the late Willie T. and Nettie Shiflett. Her first husband was the

The Family Bible has Ruby's birth date as Sep. 17, 1910, however, her social
security records indicate she was born in 1911. During a conversation between
June Sullivan (daughter-in-law to Ruby) and Ruby at the nursing home, she
explains the birth date differences. Ruby told June she just wanted to be
younger, so years ago she just changed her birth year to 1911.

III With Pneumonia at Home Near Beldor Two Weeks
Mrs. Fannie Shifflett, wife of Robert Shifflett, a farmer of Beldor, died at 6
o'clock yesterday morning. She had been ill of pneumonia for about two weeks.
Mrs. Shifflett was before marriage a Miss Berry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Berry, of Island Ford. She was about forty years old. Especially
pathetic in the death of Mrs. Shifflett is the fact that she is survived by
nine children, the youngest of whom is only four months of age. The eldest son
is seriously ill of pneumonia, and fear is entertained for his recovery.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Shifflett is survived by her father, one sister, Mrs.
Whit Berry, of McGaheysville; two brothers, Elmer and Kinser, of Indiana and
nine children, whose names could not be learned last night. Funeral
arrangements will not be made till the two brothers of Mrs. Shifflett in
Indiana are heard from.
Frances married William Robert Shifflett, son of Angus Jackson Shifflett and Rebecca A. Morris, on 26 Nov 1899 in Rockingham Co., VA. William was born on 24 May 1880 in Rockingham Co., VA, died on 18 Mar 1960 in Rockingham Co., VA at age 79, and was buried in Elk Run Cemetery, Elkton, Rockingham Co., VA.
