Bland was a veteran of the American Revolutionary War. He was a resident of Albemarle Co., Va. where he enlisted and served four terms of one month each as a private. He was stationed at Albemarle Barracks under Francis Taylor in the Virginia troops as follows: From sometime around Jan 1778 in Captain Zachariah Herndon's Company and again in July in that same company. Later he served in the company of Captain Holman Rice. Subsequently he served two months as a private in Captain Isaac Davis's Virginia Company, a part of that time under command of General Wayne, Bland also served two months in Captain John Harris's Virginia Company and was present at the siege of Yorktown. He was discharged in October of 1781.

Bland Shiflett was allowed a pension on his application executed Aug 23, 1833, at which time he resided in Orange Co., VA and was 82 years old. Richard Snow, then 80 years old in 1833, certified that he and Bland were at the siege of Yorktown and that they served a tour of two months under Captain John Harris and was discharged at that place in Oct of 1781.

I found this entry in the book "Pension Roll of 1835 III Southern States" at the MD Hall of Records. "Blan Shiflet Rank DO, Annual Allowance 26.66, Sum Received 78.98, Description of Service DO, placed on pension Feb. 5, 1834 commencement DO, age 74".

AT THIS POINT IN TIME, circumstantial evidence supports the Bland who m. Bruck (formerly read as Rincel) as being the same man as the Bland who m. Vina. It is not clear if Vina and Bruck are the same person.

1776-1781, Served in American Revolution, was present at seige of Yorktown.

25 April 1815, Orange Co., Va., Deeds, James and Susanna White to Overton Shiflett. Wit: William
White, Wyatt Bingham, George Bingham, John Morris, James Shiflett

28 November 1999, From LFSOFVA@aol.com
I've been fretting over the Adam Lincus family for a week and am proposing the following:

First, In his Will, Overton Shiflett leaves land to his daughter, Cally, and her children. "3rd. I loan to my daughter Cally Shifflett the aforesaid ten acres of land and forty-four acres adjoining the said ten acres, the former lying on Flat Top and after the death of said daughter, Cally, the said land I give to her children."

11 August 1864, From the following document we know that this is the Cally Shiflett who married Adam Lincus (or Lineas) because he is mentioned with her in the appointment of attorneys. " Know all men by these presents that we Henderson Shiflett, William Shiflett & Emily his wife, Linius Shiflett & Cally his wife, Lucinda Hering and Sarah Shiflett, widow of Overton Shiflett, dec'd, do hereby appoint Ahas Shiflett and Early Shiflett our true and lawful attorneys to tske charge of the estate of Overton Shiflett, dec'd and to sell the personal estate of said decedant upon a credit of twelve months with interest from date to be received when due in current money at that time, sale to be at the higest bidder at public auction, and when the said proceeds shall be collected to divide the same equally between the legatees of the said Overton Shiflett and we do hereby ratify and confirm the actings and doings of our said attorneys in the premises. Given under our hands and seals this 11th day of August, 1864.
Sarah x Shiflett, Henderson x Shiflett, William x Shiflett, Emily x Shiflett, Linens Shiflett, Cally x Shiflett, Lucinda Herring

8 September 1870, deed to Albert M. Shiflett represents sale of the land by Callie and her children - "a certain parcel of land known as the land willed of said parties by Overton Shiflett dec'd". There are several discrepancies in the deed.
1st. Callie is not Deane's wife, but his mother.
2nd. Nancy is mentioned in the body of the Will, but does not sign it.
3rd. Sarah M. signs the deed, but is not mentioned in the body.
This is certainly not the first Greene Co. document found as suspect in the information it contains. I think the deed should definitely be Callie and her children Greene County Deed Book #6, page 93
"This deed made the 8th day of Sept., 1870, between Dean Shiflett and Callie his wife, Nancy Shifflett and Elias Shifflett, and Gincie Ann Shifflett, all of the 1st part & Albert M. Shifflett of the 2nd part, all of the county of Greene, State of Virginia. Parties of the first part do grant, bargain and sell to the said Albert M. Shifflett of the 2nd part, a certain parcel of land known as the land willed of said parties by Overton Shifflett dec'd, lying and being in the county of & state of sd. and on the side of Flat Top Mtn. and bounded as follows by Albert M. Shifflett, Stephen Shifflett Sr., Austin Gentry, and Stephen Shifflett Jr., and others.

October 1884, Rockingham County Chancery Cause, File 101, Jarrard Shifflett vs. Nelson Shifflett & others, Oct. 1884, Submitted by Larry Shifflett LFSOFVA@aol.com
Court of Rockingham County, In Cty sitting, Humbly complaining showeth unto your Honor, your orator and oratris, that Winston Shiflett late of the County of Rockingham died intestate some eight or ten years ago leaving a considerable real estate situated and being in the said County of Rockingham, and at the time of his death had six lawful children that were entitled to his estate after payment of debts & the names of which will be hereafter given. Your orator by virtue of his marriage with your oratris who was a daughter of said Winston Shiflett and therefore is entitled to one sixth of said estate. Your orator further expresses unto your Honor that soon after the war Winston Shiflett was largely indebted as security and became utterly insolvent as he thought and believed and in order to protect himself from such suretyship, made a deed to Carson Shiflett as of the 16 day of January 1868, in which he undertook to convey his real estate for the sum of one hundred dollars. Copy of the deed is herewith filed as exhibit "A" and asked to be read with this bill - said Carson Shiflett never knew of the existence of said deed, never exercised any ownership of the property, never paid one cent of money to Winston Shiflett, therefore as your orators charge that the said deed was made without any consideration and fraudulent and was made by Winston Shiflett to cheat, hinder, and defraud his creditors. Your orators further represent that on the 20 day of August 1868, the said Carson Shiflett undertook to sell the same land to Harrison Shiflett for the sum of $475.00 (a son of Winston Shiflett) copy of said deed is herewith filed as exhibit "B" and asked to be read with this bill. Your orators charge that Carson Shiflett never did receive the amount as stated to have been paid in hand, and in fact never knew that he was possessed of said land until a few hours before the execution of said deed to Harrison Shiflett. Harrison Shiflett was the first person to intimate such a thing to Carson Shiflett, therefore this said deed is fraudulent and without consideration and was made to carry out and perfect the fraud in said deed. Your orators further represent unto your Honor that after the deed was made to Harrison Shiflett, he had a ---- ---------in which he undertook to get the children of Winston Shiflett to sign and authorize him to sell all the lands of Winston Shiflett, the same identical land that had been deeded to Carson Shiflett and to said Harrison Shiflett, to sell the same to Isaac Wyant. Copy of said Article is herewith filed as exhibit "C" and asked to be read with this bill, said paper purports to be signed by all the children except your orators wife, Rebecca Shiflett and Jackson Shiflett, therefore they are not bound by said paper. And on the back of said paper an endorsement is made to the effect that they the within named parties assigned our interest over to said Harrison Shiflett as of 30 Jany 1880. It purports to be signed by Louisa Coleman and Diana Coleman. Soon after the execution of the paper referred to, Harrison Shiflett sold the land to Isaac Wyant by deed, copy of said deed is herewith filed as exhibit "D" and asked to be read with this bill. After Isaac Wyant entered into the possession of said land, your orators received a letter from said Wyant recognizing that your orators had an interest in said land, proposed to give your orators the sum of twenty-five dollars for their interest in this same identical land which has been so minutely spoken of here. Copy of said letter is herewith filed as exhibit "E" and asked to be read with this bill. Your orators refused to take the sum of twenty-five dollars knowing that the interest of Rebecca Shiflett was worth at least the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars. Your orators further represent that Isaac Wyant has made sale of this particular land to one James H. Haney for the sum of $ [blank] and has made a deed to same, copy of said deed is herewith filed as exhibit "F" and asked to be read with this bill. The said James H. Haney was notified of the Cloud upon the title to said land before he became the purchaser, but the said Haney is still owing the greater part of the purchase price. Soon after the first deeds were made, exhibit "A" and "B", Winston Shiflett departed this life intestate and his estate has been regularly committed to the hand of the sheriff of Rockingham County for administration, copy of said administration is herewith filed as exhibit "G" and asked to be read with this bill. Your orators charge and believe that there are certain bonds and other property of Winston Shiflett that went into the hand of Harrison Shiflett as an Executor "de son lost", and that he never has accounted for any such property, that he had full access to his papers, and that before his death he held bonds against Carson Shiflett for $100.00, that Harrison Shiflett took said bonds and delivered them to one Coleman if Carson Shiflett would make him the deed to land. that the said Harrison Shiflett be required to turn over to J.

Actual Marriage Date, 31 Mar. 1829, Original Marriage Book of Rev. John Gibson, Albemarle, Co., Va., published by The Virginia Historical Society, 31 Dec. 1923.

July 1998, Information from Larry Shifflett, e-mail: LFSOFVA@aol.com
In the 1850 Albemarle Co., VA, Census household #414 has the following entry:
Absalom Shiflett 60 M Farmer (born ca. 1790)
Lucy " 22 F (born ca. 1828)
Cn-r Powell 21 F (born ca. 1829)
Nancy " 19 F (born ca. 1831)
William " 12 M (born ca. 1838)
Amanda Shiflett 12 F (born ca. 1838)

There is a March 31, 1829 Marriage Bond for Absalom's daughter, Nancy Shiflett, to Robert Powell, son of Honorias and Mary (Molly) Beasley Powell.
Nancy Ann C. Powell married Mark Stinton Shiflett on Feb. 4, 1851 in Greene Co. She was born January 1831.
From the above will of William Powell and 1850 Albemarle Co. Census we can infer that :
1- Absalom Shiflett's grandson, William Powell, Son of Robert and Nancy Powell, had a sister Nancy, called "Lemy or Lomy", who married Stinton Shiflet..
2- Because Absalom is mentioned in William Powell's will in 1862, he is still alive, although he does not show up anywhere in the 1860 Albemarle County Census. Absalom is also listed as an heir to Stephen Palmer Shiflett in the original Bill of Complaint by Turner Shiflett in the Greene Co., Va., Chancery cause involving the estate settlement of Stephen Palmer Shiflett in 1860. The summons issued for Absalom Shiflett to appear at the court hearing, dated Sept. 1861, is sent to the Albemarle County sheriff.
3- We can probably safely assume that the three children listed in Absalom's household in the 1850 Albemarle county Census are his grandchildren and the children of Robert Powell, deceased, and his wife Nancy.

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 Charlottesville Hospital from 30 March, 1863 to 18 May, 1863 with cystitis/debilitias.

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, Albemarle County, Virginia. Just a day or so before the end of the War, Elizabeth was bringing some food for the prisoners and as she was coming over the hill she heard gunshots from the house. Calvin and several others, including Tipton Walton, were executed. Several others were able to make a successful escape". Note: Tipton and Sallie Dowell Walton's daughter, Sarah Ann, married Calvin's son, Charles P. Shiflett in 1870.

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 Albemarle history, please contact Norm Addington.

Calvin is most likely buried in the Old Shiflett Cemetery on the Lynch River on the late Leo Shiflett farm which is a few miles from where he was shot or possibly on Frazier Mountain. After Calvin's death, Elizabeth took up with Tom Frazier. Tom and Elizabeth had two children; Louisa J. Frazier, born 1868 and William A. "Little Tommy" Frazier, born 1871.

HENSLEY/SHIFFLETT/POWELL: Sometimes called Turner Shifflett or Hill Shifflett (for Turner's son, Hilary). On west side of Roundtop Mt., quite far down, about 200 ft. short of (behind) old house site, on park-land tract 47a, Solomon J. Hensley. Cemetery 50 by 50 ft., overgrown. Fifty or more burials. Native stone markers and a marble headstone for Angus J. Shifflett. Or find from Powell Gap, starting northward on the Appalachian Trail, then following old wagon road that diverges, about 1 mi. to house site. Inscriptions as far back as 1850. Honorias Powell, who owned a thousand acres nearby (and for whom gap probably named) was buried here, according to Billie Jo Monger. Turner Shifflett was a grandson of Powell. - NPS.

7 May 2000, From <JcqlnP@cs.com>, Cleve Powell,
Thanks I will get in touch with her. I was able to open Shiflett Web www.geocities.cm/~jcrosswell/ I've learned a lot. first Reed Engle with the Park Service is furnishig Information on the Hensley/Shiflet/Powell Cemetery. His records show that 2/13/1915, 112 acres which included the cemetery was purchased by the Commonwealth of Virginia, from Virginia A. Shiflett, and transfered to the Park in 1935. Virginia was the widow of Honorias Powell's Grandson Wm. Hilary Shiflett who was known as "Hill", son of Turner Shiflet and Mildred (Milly) Powell. Honorias willed to Milly his half of a tract purchased from Thomas Barber which had 150 acres being taken up by Frances Kirtly and described as being on top of the Blue Ridge in Rockingham Co.. He also left her 60 acres which joined the 150 acre tract which he also got from Thomas Barber who had purchased it from Philip Bush. The part "On top of the Blue Ridge in Rockingham Co. could fit the Cem. location.
Honorias, Milly Powell Shiflett, Turner Shiflett, Hill Shiflett, Angus and Joseph all sons of turner, and the wife of another son Pernitus Alfred (Al) whose name was Rebecca Ann Shiflett 1845-1879 are all reportedly buried there.
Now the Hensley connection, I'm going to copy Vicky Hensley with this info and see if she can shed some light on it. The home near the Cemetery, per the Park Service is known as the Solomon J. (Job) Hensley home site. Solomon, 1859-1943 and his wife Elizabeth Margaret (or visa /versa) Shiflet are buried in Elk Run, Elkton, Va. Now Margaret (Maggy) 1859-1938, was the sister of Rebecca Ann Shiflet, Al's wife, they were the daughters of a Solomon Shiflet who was born in 1818. Now I don't know of any ties between the Shiflets and Powells to the Hensleys other than this. Cleve Powell

14 November 1833, Actual marriage date.

Leland & his wife Artimis Changed their name to Frazier apparently after Leland's mother Lucy married a Frazier. Since Leland's birth date is before his mother's marriage he may not be the Son of John Frazier.

1856, Leland gave his name as Leland Hardin Shiflett, on marriage bond.

Notes from Larry Shifflett:
There has been some questions raised about whether Leland Hardin's father was John Frazier who married Lucy Shiflet in 1811, because Leland used both the Shiflet and Frazier surnames during his life. The suggestion that he switched names to avoid the notoriety of murdering his brother-in-law Burton Shiflett in 1860 offers only an interesting observation but no conclusive explanation. Whatever the rumors or gossip, Leland is named as a son of John Frazier in Greene Co. deed of 8 Nov 1844.

Hi Eugene,
I spoke with you about my GG-grandfather William Jefferson Morris. At that time you didn't have any info on his parents. If you will note the following info I received from Dru, it appears she has found his mother, Susannah Morris. I am still searching for his father.
I also received a copy of William's wife Lourena (Luraney) Morris death certificate from the Clerk of the Court in Rockingham Co., VA, which states she died on June 7, 1888, at the age of 70. Cause of death paralysis. Please let me know if you have found any additional information since we last spoke. Joyce

Luraney married William Jefferson Morris, son of Slayton Shiflett Sr. and Susannah (Susan) Morris, on 23 Jul 1840 in Greene Co., VA. William was born about 1817 in Orange Co., VA.

24 March 1999, Posted by Joyce Brown:
I am seeking information on any of the following Morris'. William Jefferson Morris, born about 1819, in Orange County, VA, married Luraney Shiflett, on July 23, 1840 in Greene County, VA. Believe his parents to be Slaten Shiflett and Susanna Morris, born 1795, married on Dec 21, 1818. Susanna's second husband believed to be Paskell Morris, married on Oct 17, 1826. Children believed to have taken his name. Susanna d/o Ikey and Elizabeth ? Morris. Paskell possibly s/o Jeremiah Morris. Children: Jackson, William Jefferson, Charles Lewis, Lafayette (Levi), Levi, Luthena Millie, William Henry, and William Plunkett Morris. Would appreciate any information.

6 September 1999, From Joyce Brown, forwarded from jruth@gateway.net
As to Jefferson Morris being born before the 1818 bond for Slayton and Susannah's marriage, it's possible, but the census records offer some conflicting evidence:
1850 -- age 33 -- suggests born 1816-1817
1860 -- age 40 -- suggests born 1819-1820
1870 -- age 51 -- suggests born 1818-1819
1880 -- age 62 -- suggests born 1817-1818
Again, I wonder what her source for an 1817 birth date is?
By the way, thanks for all the information you forwarded previously from Eugene Powell and Olen Morris. And the photo of John Willis Morris and Columbia Elizabeth Baugher was great! The pose is similar to one that have for Robert Shiflett and Lurena (Morris) Shiflett. I'd forward a copy, but I don't have a scanner. DRU

Bob
I assume, based on Foss conversation with Marybird that Geroge Herring is the
son of Louden Bruce and Mary (Polly) Herring. Also the 1850 Rockingham Co
Census has a Mary Herring as H of HH, age 45 with a George Herring in HH, age
22, they are next to John and Eve Lawson, George Herring married as his
first wife Mary Lawson, dau of John and Eve Lawson, I also think George had
a sister, Margaret Caroline Herring who married Theophilus (sp) Lawson, son
of John and Eve Lawson.
I haven't checked the marriage records yet but believe the parents of George
were listed as Louden and Polly Herring, maybe clerk just omitted Bruce or
assumed Louden was a Herring because George was a Herring, need to check
couple marriage bonds in Rockingham. Needs more research., Eugene

1996, The following information on this family from Mr. Preston Leake, Hopewell, VA.

The given name of Loud(e)n Bruce is sometimes recorded as Loud(o)n, Loudown, Loudan, Loudoun, as well as other spellings including Snoden. Records show that he was a farmer and a carpenter.
Greene County Magazine, Volume 3, page 25 (1981), shows a transcription of the Orange County records for 1805: "Ordered that the hands of (17 men including) Louden Bruce work on the road beginning at Bingham's Meetinghouse and extending to the fork in the road by Louden Bruce's (house), and that James White be appointed overseer thereof."

Loudon B. Bruce is shown in the 1830 Census for Orange County, VA., with one male, 5-10 years; one male 10-15 years, one female under 5 years, one female, 5-10 years, and one female 10-15 years. A person with this same name was also in the 1830 Census for Rockingham County, VA.

The names of the children of Louden Bruce, Sr., by his first marriage to Mildred Estes, are from a Suit filed in Orange County, Virginia, on Tuesday 29 January 1828. It was designated "Brown vs Estes" and was found in the Orange County Minute Book for 1825-1829; however, the pages in this large volume were not numbered thus making it necessary to locate the five page Court decision by date. Additionally, since it was very difficult to read, only the first part is transcribed below:
" the Court being of the opinion that Littleton Estes is entitled to the lot upon which he has erected a saw and grist mill as the part that was intended for Barnett Simmons at its value indepenclently of the said improvements, the said William Estes having so stated in his Life time and induced the said Littleton to open his money in such improvements, and being further of the opinion that the said William Estes, the younger, is not entitled to any of the land that the said intestate died, seized and prospered of doth adjudge, order and decree that one equal third part of the land which the said intestate died, seized and prospered of be allotted to his widow, Frances Estes, and that the residue be divided into eleven equal parts according to qulaity and quantity, the lot upon which the saw and grist mill, erected by Littleton Estes, be vaLued as if owners were on it and that lot be assigned to the son, Littleton Estes, under the contract with his father and Barnett Simmons, and one other lot be assigned to him in his own right and that one lot be assigned to each of the folling persons, viz.: to John Estes, to Elizabeth Cox, one lot to Lucy Cox, to Mary Harris, to Sallie Harris, and one part to the children of Mildred Bruce, deceased, viz. Peachy, Mildred, Louden, Sally, Lucy, Brightberry, and Elizabeth Bruce. One lot to Merry Estes, one lot to Henry Gibson, and one lot to Susan Wood, and that the slaves belonging to the estate of the said intestate be divided into twelve equal shares." Significantly, there is no reference in the above list to a person named William Bruce, and I am becoming more dubious that a person with name was a child of Louden Bruce, Sr. and his first wife, Mildred Estes. We do know however, that Louden Bruce, Jr. and his first wife, Anselina Wood, had a child named, William D. Bruce. Related information is also said to have been found in the Jackson Estes Bible, but I have not yet seen it.

The Greene County Record for 25 August 1977 includes an article titled, "Greene County's Patriot Ancestors, Chapter 17 - Captain Charles Bruce" by Woddie Parrott. Included in the article is the following; "The writer has not endeavored to trace the relationship of Capt. Charles Bruce to Laudon Bruce. Loudon B. Bruce married Milly Estes, daughter of William and Frances Cox Estes, on September 10, 1807, and they Lived in Celt in present Greene County. A descendant of this marriage, Captain William Bruce, served as an officer in the Civil War, and resided on the east side of Rt. 603 in southern Greene County."

A Loudoun B. Bruce is included in the 1840 Census for Greene County, VA., page 424, with one male, under 5 years, one male, 40-50 years (probably Louden), and one female, 20-30 years. This must be Louden, Sr. and his second wife, Salina Shifflett Bruce, and their first child, Alman.

Laudon Bruce, 68 years, "carpenter," is Listed on page 342 of the 1850 Census for Greene County, VA., along with his second wife, "Lina" (Salina), 38 years, and their four children: Alman (Almon) G. Bruce, 12 years; Goodman L. Bruce, 9 years; Berryman B. Bruce, 4 years; and Fielding S. Bruce, 6 months.

Four of the children of this marriage were mentioned in Greene County Deed Book 6, page 139, dated 11 May 1872. This document suggests that Louden Bruce was deceased by this date and that the children of his second wife, Salina Shifflett, were selling property which "fell to them", as follows: "This Indenture made this 11th day of May in the year of our Lord 1872, between John Bruce and Henreitta, his wife; Alman Bruce and Sallie, his wife; Larkin Bruce and Pollie Ann, his wife; and Berryman Bruce and Elizaan, his wife, of the County of Albemarle and the State of Virginia, of the one part, and Hastin Shiflett of the County of Greene and same State, of the other part, Witnesseth, that the said John Bruce and Henreitta, his wife; Larkin Bruce and Pollie Ann, his wife; and Berryman Bruce and Elizaan, his wife, for and in consideration of the sum of one hundred and twenty (?) dollars to them in hand paid by the said Hastin Shiflett, the receipt whereof the said parties doth hereby acknowledge, have granted, bargained, Sold and conveyed and by these presents, doth grant, bargain, sell and convey unto the said Hastin Shiflett, his heirs and assigns, a certain tract of Land, or parcel of Land containing forty acres, be that same, more or less, lying in the County of Greene and being the same that fell to the above named parties, and adjoining Hastin Shiflett, the above named purchaser, Lively Morris and Jeff Morris on Rocky River, to have and to hold the said tract or parcel of Land with appurtenances thereto belonging to him the said Hastin Shiflett, his heirs and assigns, to the only proper use and behoof of the saind Hastin Shiflett, his heirs and assigns forever, and the aforesaid parties for themselves, theit heirs and administrators, doth hereby agree to, and covenant, with the said Hastin Shiflett, to ever warrant and defend unt him, his heirs and assigns kthe title of said Land. In Witness whereof the said John Bruce and Henreitta, his wife; Alman Bruce and Sallie, his wife; Larloin Bruce and Pollie Ann, his wife; & Berryman Bruce and Elizaan ' his wife, have hereunto set their hands and affix their seals the day and year above written." There follows the names and seals as follows: John Bruce, Alman Bruce, Henreitta Bruce, Sallie Bruce, Larkin Bruce, Pollie Bruce, Berryman Bruce. Note, there was no listing of Berryman's wife, Elizaan Bruce, and her seal. Another related fact is that the above Deed was delivered to Hastin Shiflett almost seven years Later on 23 December 1879. Further, the names of two other persons are missing from the above List. They are Fielding Simpson Bruce and Rebecca Bruce, both of whom are thought to be children of Louden Bruce, Sr. and his second wife, Salina Shiflett.

The Marriage bond for Louden's daughter, Elizabeth, includes this man's name. For more detail, see notes in this file under her name. I think it is highly probable that this is the person who made the rope bed which was given to me by my mother, Lydia Cox Leake. I always understood that it had belonged to my mother's grandmother, Elizabeth (Betsy) Bruce Dunn.

The information below is added for future reference purposes:
Albemarle Co. Census includes the following: 1820 Census- Richard Bruce, page 3A; 1830 Census- Elizabeth Bruce, page 232; 1840 Census- Elizabeth Bruce, page 098, Fredericksville Parish; and James Bruce, page 134, St. Annes Parish, VA. Reference was also found to the marriage of George Bruce and Elizabeth Quinn in Orange County prior to 1742. See Orange County Deed Book 10, pages 517-518 and Deed Book 16, page 40. 1 believe the year was 1772. These Deeds appear to relate to the division of their property. There was a divorce or separation, and this couple are believed to have been the grandparents of Louden Bruce, Sr. The name, George Bruce, was also found in Augusta County in transaction with Benjamin Cave.

17 October 2000, From <jcrosstx@charter.net>, Julia Crosswell,
Here is an interesting bit of info:
Chapter 6 (not yet posted) is all about Marybird Bruce McAllister -- so far mostly her talking.
Marybird says: "George Herr'n's my uncle, Pap's half brother. The daddy was the daddy of both of 'em, but wasn't the same mammy. " So Louden Bruce was George Herring's father --and I will assume then, that his mother was a Herring. Just passing this on in case any of you are interested. Julie

Divorce proceedings were initiated against Matilda Jane, by her husband Reuben, for infidelity but she died before the divorce was finalized. Turner Shiflet was one of the witnesses.

26 March 2000, From <jcrosstx@home.com>, Julia Crosswell,
Eugene, I believe Matilda is listed as an heir of Stephen Palmer Shiflett, along with Overstreet and the other children of Larkin & Ann. I believe Larry concludes that Matilda is Overstreet's sister. She apparently had a few children, but the father is not known (or whether she was m. etc.). I believe the earlier assumption was made (from census records) since she was listed in the HH with children and he was there too, they were married--which we now think is incorrect. Julie

Matilda married someone

Her children were:

+ 238 F    i. Elizabeth Shiflett was born in 1833 in Orange Co., VA.

+ 239 M    ii. James A. Shiflett was born in 1841 in Orange Co., VA.

43. Mildred (Milly) Shiflett (Anna Shiflett2, Bland Sr.1) was born in 1820 in Orange Co., VA.

General Notes for Mildred (Milly) Shiflett
Hi Bob,
Mildred "Millie" Shiflett
B: ca. 1820 P: Larkin & Anna Shiflett
M: December 19, 1837, ACMB S: Henderson Shiflett
"The Clerk of this county [Albemarle] is hereby authorized and requested
to issue to Mr. Henderson Shifflet License to marry my daughter Milley, given undeer my hand and seal this 19th day of December1837.
Larkin (his X mark) Shiflett Witness - Fountain Gentry"

There is a very graphic divorce proceeding at LVA between Henderson and Mildred. Turner Shiflett was one of the witness and gives a very demeaning testimony against the character of Mildred.
Later,
Larry

Mildred married Henderson Albert Shiflett, son of Overton Shiflett and Sara Ann (Sallie) Herring, on 22 Dec 1837 in Albemarle Co., VA. Henderson was born in 1816 in Orange Co., VA, died before 1880 in VA, and was buried in Pleasant Grove Baptist Church Cemetery, Greene Co., VA.

"Carry Me Back to Ole' Virginia" is the opening to a newspaper article in 1904 from Keokuk County, Iowa celebrating the 64th wedding anniversary of Harriet (Bateman) and A. J. (Jack) Shifflett. Jack and Harriet married in Albemarle County, Virginia on June 20, 1840. Jack was an overseer on a 1500 acre plantation that had 23 slaves. In his recounting of his life to this reporter he said that the reason he moved "west" to Iowa was that he didn't like the way the slaves were treated and that he hated slavery. He was a republican and voted for Abraham Lincoln and would have done so again if given the opportunity. The greatest accomplishment of this couple was the 18 children they had, 5 of whom were born in Virginia and the other 13 born in Iowa. In researching this family I stumbled onto a website for the Shifflett family that is a wealth of information and resources and "COUSINS". The first article I clicked on got me hooked. It was an 1857 newspaper article announcing the removal by vigilance committee the Shiffletts and their being escorted to the county line on their way to Albemarle county. The editorial comment being that they are notorious rogues and dry-land pirates. Thus began my introduction to my ancestors of Virginia.

A search of an online version of the 1880 census did not yield a Cynthia Morris. However, a Morris family living in Whitehall, Albemarle County, Virginia had a daughter who was 19 years old, therefore, born about 1861, named "Onitha". That first name was interpreted from handwriting and it is likely that Cynthia Morris is Onitha. This likely candidate for Cynthia Morris lived with her parents Landon and Mildred Morris in Whitehall. Landon Morris was a farmer.

6 June 1999, From Talmadge Shifflett, e-mail TSofVa@aol.com
Hi Julia. I was down in the Greene & Albemarle County area today. I couldn't stay as long as I would have liked to. I found some updates for the site. This is information from grave headstones.
1) Bland & Vina line. Andrew J. Shifflett s/o John & Vina. (Christian Cem Dyke Va.) The writing on his headstone is backwards, I always knew that, because thats the first thing my Dad pointed out. The headstone states: "Andrew S. Mar 1930 88 yrs." from that it apppears he died in Mar 1930, of course, a little off from my estimate (8 yrs actually). If the age 88 yrs is correct that would put his birth around 1842. I know the 1860 census says he was 15 yrs at that time.
2)Bland & Vina line. Nettie F. Shifflett b. 5/2/1899 d. 2/19/1973 d/o Macarias (Mack) & Fannie Shifflett. buried Evergreen Cemetery, Dyke Va. married 1/7/1919 Leaonard Raines b. 12/29/1894 d. 2/11/1973 bur Evergreen also. Leaonard was s/o James Buchanan Raines & Judy J. Shifflett in the Hiram Harden line. also Lillie March Raines b. 3/7/1921 d. 8/17/1994 d/o Nettie & Leaonard Raines bur Evergreen. Lillie's husband is still living. She and her two siblings are mistakenly listed as Shifflett.
3) Bland & Vina line. Lonnie June Shifflett b. 6/4/1914 d. 10/4/1976 d/o Macarias (Mack) & Fannie Shifflett
4) Hiram Harden line. while I was in the Christian cem I noticed some new markers for some old graves of names listed in the site. Here is what info I gathered:
a) Hasten J. Shiflett b.6/20/1854 d. 1916 s/o Hiram & Mary Jane Morris Shifflett
b) Eddie Givens Shiflett b.1882 d. 1921 s/o Hasten J. Shiflett
c) Annie Laura (I believe to be Eddie's wife. maiden name Conley d/o Zachariah & Emily Morris Conley. (according to records I have on her. She was half sister to my grandmother Matilda. With the help of Eugene I recently discovered that Zachariah Conley had a second wife.
d) Arthur Shiflett died at 4 months. s/o Eddie & Annie Laura.

The 1920 Census says Elsie is the daughter of James I. Beasley, Elsie and her husband Gideon are living in his HH. Gideon is listed as a son-in-law. This is the first piece of evidence that suggests James Beasley is the father of Mary Shifflett's children, Josephine and Elsie. Mary is now lsited as a boader in 1920.

The only thing that I know about Mary is that her name was Mary Lee Shifflett and that she was never married and she had children by a man by the name of Pete Beasley. I also have a copy of a deed where she gave Grandma Josie and Elsie Shifflett fourty acres and 1 rod of land on 02-10-1900 The deed states that they are both her daughters and the land adjoins a Divis Shifflett. I think that some where I was told that Dives was her brother. I just noticed that the deed also says the land starts beside of the Polly Shifflett mansion. I don't know if this is any help or not.

Mary married James I. Beasley, son of Milton Beasley and Mary Polly Williams, James was born in 1845 in VA.

email sent to Olen Morris from Albert Shifflett, III.
I live in Battle Creek, MI as do my parents (Father is Al Shifflett Jr.). My family, however is indeed the clan from VA. Most live in or near Harrisonburg, and throughout the Shenandoah. My Granddad was Al Shifflett and my Great-Granddad was Albert Walker Shifflett. My father has 4 siblings, and my Granddad came from a family of 13.

I really don't know much beyond that, except for what the genealogy blogs might say. I don't know my direct line, however.

There is a story, however, in my family about my Great-Great Granddad and Grandma. They had a very large family out of wedlock. Great-Great Grandma was a Shifflett, and Great-Great Granddad was a Stover. The children, when born, took the Shifflett name. The two eventually got married, and Great-Great Grandma took the Stover name. She died very shortly after. All the children kept the Shifflett name.

Virginia married Samuel Stover on 8 Feb 1932 in Rockingham Co., VA.

The Harrisonburg Rockingham Register, Harrisonburg, VA, Fri, Feb. 19, 1897,
Revolting Murder in Greene.
A tragedy occurred in Bacon's Hollow, Greene county, last Friday which was attended by circumstances of a peculiarly revolting nature. John Knight, Willis Shifflett and several other men were drinking, very freely at a distillery there, and a general row ensued. Willis Shifflett was struck in the head with a rock, which fractured his skull and inflicted a fatal injury. This occurred in the morning and it is said that Shifflett lay where he fell until evening in an unconscious condition. Whether he died then from the effect of his injury or was killed by a subsequent assault is not known, but it is reported that some of the party returned to the distillery after short absence and found Shifflett's body under the still, burned almost to a crisp. He had evidently been thrown into the fire head foremost and the upper part of his body was burned beyond recognition. It is thought that Shifflett probably died from the blow on his head and that an attempt was made to burn the body in order to conceal evidence of foul play. An inquest was held, but its result has not reached us. Dr. Davis, of Stanardsville, examined the body of the dead man and found the skull fractured and a piece of the bone pressing on the brain to an extent sufficient to cause death. This is the fifth murder that has been committed in Bacon's Hollow within a period of twelve years, and in each instance heretofore the guilty parties received but light punishment.

The Harrisonburg Rockingham Register Friday, August 20, 1897
The trial of John Knight came up in the Greene County Court last week. The evidence against him for the killing of Willis Shiflet was very strong, we understand, but the jury sentenced him to the State prison for only seven years.

TRAGIC DEATH OF ABBIE SHIFLETT
Abbie Shiflett of Bacon Hollow was found dead in his house Friday evening with his skull fractured and his head and face baked almost to a charcoal. It was first thought that he had met death by foul play. The family phoned to Sheriff R, A. Melone, Dr. Davis, coroner, and Commonwealth's Attorney J. E. Parrott. They soon were on the scene with Justice John Peale Shiflett. A jury was soon empanelled and proceeded with an inquest and examined several witnesses.
The testimony disclosed that Mr. Shiflett had one of his boys make him a fire in an old time fireplace, while he was in bed. After his son had complied with his father's request, the young man retired to another room. Later in the evening some member of the family found him with his head in the fire dead. A chair beside him was almost burned up.
The only conclusion which could be reached was that Mr. Shiflett got up from his bed while alone in the room and attempted to take a seat by the fire and plunged forward into it, striking his head against the stones at the top, thus cracking his skull; or while sitting in the chair dozed off and fell forward into the fireplace with the same result. He was a large man and could have fallen against the top of the fireplace with force enough to have caused the fracture. The jury brought in a verdict that his death was accidental. The members of the coroner's jury were: Messrs. Manson Shiflett, John Knight, Cell Morris, Homer Knight, Bray Roach, and John P. Shiflett.
Mr. Shiflett was well known in the community in which he lived and was often sought by his mountain friends for advice which was freely often given by him without remuneration. He was very active in county elections and worked unceasingly for his favorite candidates.
He leaves a wife, several children, brothers and sisters to mourn his loss.

Civil War Brothers Rescued From Obscurity Posted 2006-04-19
Confederate Soldiers Finally Get Proper Markers
By Jenny Jones

Jim Miller works in his shop on a gravestone for Civil War casualty W. Albert Powell. More than a century after they were buried in near-anonymity, Powell and his brother, Elias, are getting new markers for their graves in what is now Shenandoah National Park.

Photo by Nikki Fox
ELKTON - In October 1862, a young Confederate soldier named Elias Powell was killed by federal scouts and laid to rest in a family cemetery in what is now Shenandoah National Park, according to Elkton historian Casey Billhimer.

Two years later, Elias® brother, "William" Albert Powell, also a Confederate, was killed in action at the Battle of Spotsylvania. He, too, was laid to rest in the Hensley, Shifflett, Powell Cemetery on the side of a mountain, Billhimer says.

At the time, both men®s graves were marked with rocks that were likely found near the cemetery and turned into tombstones. Each stone was engraved with the soldier®s initials and his date of death, nothing more.

With no other information on the grave markers, the Powell brothers® legacy deteriorated to the point that not even their family members knew for sure where they were buried.

Veterans Markers

But now, thanks to the Powells® distant relatives and the Col. D.H. Lee Martz Camp 10 Sons of Confederate Veterans, the Powell brothers® graves have been found, and their memory is being preserved with headstones from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

"These guys gave their lives," said Billhimer, a member of Camp 10 of the SCV. Putting tombstones on their graves is "the least we can do."

The men®s names, dates of birth and death and short histories about each of the soldiers, engraved by Jim Miller of Jem Stones Art Studio, appear on the stones.

The stones will be dedicated this weekend by the Sons of Confederate Veterans during a ceremony at 11 a.m. Saturday at Powell Gap, immediately followed by a second ceremony in the cemetery.

Several members of the Powell family will attend. Community members are also welcome, but they should check in at the ranger station first, Billhimer said.

Preserving History

The Powells® graves were rediscovered when one of their descendants, Cleve Powell, found out through research that his great-great uncles were buried in the cemetery just west of their birth home, near BeldorHollow.

After he uncovered the location of the cemetery, Cleve and his relatives visited the graveyard and found the old markers, with the men®s initials and dates of death on them.

"The date on the stone was identical with the piece of paper my uncle had given me" with information about the soldiers® deaths, Cleve Powell said. "It was very satisfying to know that we had figured something out" about their burial places.

After he learned where the Powells were buried, Cleve Powell contacted Billhimer to notify him of the find.

From there, Cleve Powell said, the Sons of Confederate Veterans began the process of getting proper grave markers for the tombs.

"We brought it to their attention and they got the ball rolling from there," he said. Now, "maybe 100 years from now, those two stones will be there to tie the family®s history together."

Dear Julie, here is my input regarding your question: General married Rebecca E. Morris 19 August 1888. These are the children they had that I'm aware of; Rosa Belle, Bessie Lee, Herbert Lee, Addie Florence, Octavius (Tavy), & Zeddie. General then married Pearl Peacock Shifflett, 26 April 1923. Their children are Virginia May (Ardista, a nickname while growing up and my mother) b. 19 July 1918 & currently living in New York, Prentiss General Shifflette b. 24 March 1920, d. 1 January 2000, Peggy Jane b. 17 July 1922 living in VA., Refa Pearl b. 17 July 1924 living in Florida, Ruby Alice b. 10 Sept. 1926, d. Dec. 1997. Pearl then mar'd. John Wesley Roach 13 Feb 1934 (see Elizabeth&Calus Roach Chart). They had three children. Geraldine b. 2 Feb. 1935, Edith Pearl b. 5 Sept. 1937, Elizabeth Ann b. 30 Nov. 1939. All three still living. My sources are mostly from my Aunt Refa and my mother, Virginia. Hope this is helpful, Bruce

General Shifflett, (according to my paternal grandfather, Lanie Morris) fathered 2 children by Rebecca Morris, d/o Benjamin David and Millie Jane Morris. I'm going to call her Rebecca2. Rebecca2 was never married according to my grandfather. Therefore General Shifflett has 3 sets of children rather than just the 2 sets listed on the Shifflett website. This is the same General Shifflett that was m. to Rebecca Morris d/o Jarrel and Virenda Morris.

In the 1880 census:
1880 Greene County, VA, Census, Monroe District, Family #58, Benjamin Morris, H of HH, Age 27.

Also in HH:
Millie J. - Wife, age 25
Jehovah -Son, age 9
Nellie - Daughter, age 6
Rebecca - Daughter, age 5

In the 1900 Greene County, VA, Census, Monroe District, Family #167, in the HH of Benjamin David Morris - -William B. Grandson, Birthdate June 1896, Age 3. Millie is listed as the mother of 4 children with 2 living. At this time we know Jehovah is still living and Nellie is living and listed in the 1900 census. This implies Rebecaa and one other child is deceased. She died sometime after the birth of William Bluey Morris, June 10, 1896 and before the 1900 census. I have not yet found the family in the 1910 census. According to Lanie Morris, William Bluey Morris was raised by his grandparents, Benjamin David Morris and Millie Jane Morris because his mother had died. Were you aware there were 3 sets of children for General Shifflett? Gina Gibson

POLLY ANN SHIFFLETT
A funeral service for Polly and (Molly) Shifflett, a native of Greene County, who died last night at her home at Front Royal, will be held at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the Free Union Church of the Brethren with burial in the Church cemetery. She was 87.

Bob, He is listed in the 1900 GCC - he is listed as a grandson of Peggy Shifflett, wife of Henderson Shiflett. If we look at the children under Henderson, I did not find a Mollie Ann, but there is a Polly Ann born in 1875. See below don't have much on her except she died November 23, 1961, buried Free Union, Albemarle Co., Virginia. I am thinking that this is the mother of Joseph Hobart instead of Mollie Ann - If we get a chance to check her obit we might find the answer. As far as Bryant goes, there is only one that I know of who is in the right time frame - Bryant A. Shiflett married to Eva. Again, the obit of Polly Ann may shed some light on this. Later, Larry

Polly married Bryant ShifflettBryant died before 1930.

I'm looking for some info on my great grandmother, Sarah Shifflett West, (b. 1889). She was the daughter of James Texana Shifflett and Martha Williams. She married James Lemuel West, and moved from Rockingham Co., VA to Jefferson Co., WV. I know she had a few children: Pearl, Minlee, James, Melvin, Richard, James, Martha, and Frances. I know nothing of them. I was told by the Historical Society in Harpers Ferry that she was buried in Jefferson Co. I'd like to know the name of the cemetery, and anything else anyone would like to share. Any info will be appreciated.

Bob,
Virgie Mary Shifflett born 2 Jul 1898 Rockingham County died 14 May 1989 Rockingham Co. is the mother of Lydia Ann, James Robert, Edgar E., Mary Lee, and Emma Orell Shifflett. She had children by Robert Shifflett, parents unknown. Robert was known by my family as "Cackling Bob" because he was always laughing. Family members told me they heard he was killed in Baltimore, MD. Robert and Virgie were not married and it is unknown how many of the five children are his. I have Virgie as the sister of Lucullus Edward Shifflett and the Aunt of George Wesley Shifflett (son of Lucullus) who was married to Pearl Morris before he married Julia Morris Shifflett widow of William Taft Shifflett who was murdered by Jerry Morris, Julia's brother. Virgie might have had a prior marriage to an Unknown Lawson. I have no knowledge of any children from that marriage. I also have no information on Pearl Morris, wife of George Wesley Shifflett as to her parents and siblings. Is the information I have correct and if not could you send me the correct info. I am lacking knowledge regarding Robert, in these areas.

And by the way, I am listed as an Unconnected Shifflett who married Renate Bolte 13 Nov 1974 in New Braunfels, Texas. So you can remove me from the Unconnects.

Hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Her skull was fractured by the impact and one leg was bruised. The women accompanying her at the time stopped to let the train pass. Mrs. Herring is said to have stated she was in a hurry and started across the tracks in front of the approaching train. The tragedy was witnessed b y a number of spectators. Coroner J. H. Bruce on being called to the scene said an inquest is unnecessary. The view was being held by Deputy Sheriff Lucas. According to information supplied by spectators the freight train, and extra, blew for the crossing and the warning bell was ---- on the crossing at the time of its approach.

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

The Shifflett web site lists a Milly Frances born 1873 and that web site is under Christena Herring in the Absolom Shifflett line.
Walter Coleman Had three brothers Buck, Ralph and Nick. Buck and Nick are probably nicknames.
Also one of the sister's that married Lam's had a son named Luther and one of the two lived in Charlottsville Va per one of my cousins

How sure are you about Amanda meeting George Robert Lawson?. I have her meeting a George Lawson but haven't been able to find out which George Lawson he was.
Thanks
Bob

I Cannot prove this - only oral history from my Aunt Barbara Herring Moneymaker. She said that he was her father. Mandy was also married to a Robert Lawson and I asked Barbara "You mean Mandy had 2 men, and both had the name Robert Lawson and Barbara answered, "Yes." I was kinda' amazed at that and I guess that's the only reason I remember it.
So, Amanda married Robert Lawson, and then met George Robert Lawson before meeting James Hustin Morris.
Do you know if there were other George Robert Lawsons floating around in those mts. during the early 1900s? I could very well have the wrong one if there are more than one.
That's another mixed up family, and the only reason I have much of anything on them is due to oral family information.
BTW, Barbara's obit is incorrect in saying her father was George Herring.

15 Jan 2000, From LFSOFVA (Larry Shifflett)
The newspaper story regarding the shooting of Jesse Lawson still intrigues me. The "Burrus" Shifflett could easily be George Burrus Shiflett, son of Charles P. and Sarah Walton Shiflett, grandson of Calvin and Elizabeth. Also, if Adam Lincus is off of Overton, then I think there could be a connection to Nancy. Notice that "Lawson and Shifflett had a had a quarrel, and it was over a woman." My instincts tell me that there is a connection here that could be followed up by seeing if there is more info in the Albe. newspaper or at the CH regading the murder, which apparently took place in Albemarle. Even Sanford Davis shot ole Jesse once, Overton Shiflett shot him once, and Burrus shot him three times - what a character!

"MOUNTAIN TRAGEDY - Jesse Lawson Shot and Killed by Burrus Shifflett - Bloody End of Bitter Feud:
News was received have Tuesday of the murder of Jesse Lawson, which was committed in Shifflett's Hollow, in the Albemarle county, not far from the Greene county line, Sunday night. It was stated that Burrus Shifflett fired the fatal shot, and he is now a fugitive from justice. The details of the killing reached Harrisonburg through the Swift Run Gap people who had come to town as witnesses and interested parties in the Richards vs. Morris case, and they constitute a tale of mountaineer enmity and hatred worthy of the darkest regions of Kentucky and West Virginia. It started with a woman in the case. Several years ago Lawson and Shifflett had a quarrel, and it was over a woman. Shifflett swore he would not die until he had laid low the man he hated. A year or two afterward Lawson was arraigned in the courts charged with burning a barn. He was given two years in the penitentiary on the oath of Shifflett. He returned from Richmond, declaring to his friends that he had served his time as a innocent man, which was afterwards proven to be true. A second time Shifflett's vengeance overtook him this time in the shape of a load of buckshot, which, however did not prove fatal. Shifflett disappeared and became a virtual outlaw for a long time. About a year ago he made his appearance again and shot Lawson a second time, with a like result. He was a fugitive from justice again until last week, when he came back into the Shifflett's Hollow country and in the presence of Lawson repeated his oath that he would kill him yet. Sunday night he made good his threat. Lawson had gone out of the house about 9 0'clock and on returning the fatal load of eight buckshot was fired into him. He lived for about an hour after he was shot. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon, which prevented his brother from attending the Richards-Morris trial. The country around the scene of the murder is one of the wildest in the Blue Ridge and Shifflett has so far eluded the pursuit of the law if, indeed, any effort has been made to apprehend him.
Lawson's life was an eventful one. He had been shot five times - three times by Burrus Shifflett, once by Overton Shifflett, and once by Sanford Davis. He is said to have been a man of great physical courage, and that fear was a stranger to his composition. As Burton Morris put it, and Burton knew him intimately for many years, he was a man naturally of a peaceable disposition, but had been made desperate by stress of circumstances. Shifflett has the reputation of being one of the most desperate men whose names are linked with the criminal history of Shifflett Hollow.

Talked to Chestley today and he advised that Burruss Shiflett was never tried for the murder. Based on the news article below, law enforcement officers either were not interested in solving these crimes or was afraid to go into these two hollows, I suspect the latter. Chesley also confirmed that Jesse is buried at Prize Hill Cemetery. Norm

From The Daily Progress, Saturday, 1 Aug 1903:

NOT IN SHIFLETT HOLLOW
CORRESPONDENT SAYS THAT CRIME WAS COMMITTED
IN BLACKWELL HOLLOW
Former Place Not as bad as it is Represented
Neglect of Church and State Largely
to Blame For the Conditions - No
Educational Advantages

Commenting on the murder of Jesse Lawson, this county, on Sunday, night last, a correspondent at Crozet write as follows: Last Sunday night in Blackwell Hollow a horrible crime was committed. One Jesse Lawson was shot by one supposed to be Burruss Shifflett. As I was near the scene of the murder from the time it was committed until the victim was buried, heard the matter discussed pro and con by the people of that section, I wish through your column of your newspaper to clear up, if possible, a few mistaken ideas on the part of people outside concerning that section, and to offer a few suggestions as to how I think such a horrible crime can be stopped and the fair name of Albemarle County, saved the disgrace of such shocking conduct.
The murder has been placed upon Shifflett's Hollow when as matter of fact it took place in Blackwell's Hollow about two miles from Shifflett's. That entire section of county has been considered by people living outside as one in which the life of a stranger would not be safe. Shifflett's Hollow has been a synonym for a murder and all manner of outlawry. It has been use indiscriminately to describe a large a large part of the county which has no more to do with Shifflett's Hollow (Greene County), than it has to do with Charlottesville. I have been all through that section, generally known as Shifflett's Hollow, and now know personally most of the people. I have always been courteously and kindly received, and nowhere have I found a more abundant supply of human kindness. In my dealings with them, both in social and business matters, I have found them at heart very much like other people - some good, peaceful, and honest citizens, other bad, rowdy and dishonest. The isolated condition of the county and the rugged environment offer a splendid field for the outlaw, but comparing the crime committed in Blackwell's Hollow with those in our capital city, I would feel very much safer in the wildest part of Blackwell's or Shifflett's Hollow than on the streets of Richmond in full view of all that betakens refinement and civilization.
There are many people in the neighborhood where Lawson was shot who deplore such lawless conduct and fell most keenly the disgrace it brings upon their section. They would like to see the culprit caught and tried by due process of law. Now is such crimes are to be stopped, the State should put forth every effort to catch the criminal whoever he may be. Burress Shifflett was suspected from the moment of the murder was committed and upon sufficient circumstantial evidence to cause his arrest, and yet no effort was made to take him. If the law is not enforced then the criminal is allowed to go free, there will very likely be no end to trouble. Lawson, though a bad character, has many friends and sympathizers, sad the treacherous way in which he was murdered has turned public feeling very much in his favor and against Shifflett. If the proper constituted authorities do not act promptly and decisively these friend and sympathizers of Lawson may attempt, in their own way, to avenge the murder. So the feud will grow, and Virginia will have a little Hatfield and McCoy tragedy enacted on her own stage. Neglect to enforce the law in the first instance is what gives occasion to the mountain feuds and a continued neglect to enforce the law fosters and encourages them after they have once started.
So long as the murderer is free there will be more bloodshed. Now I do not mean to reflect upon our own county officials for I do not know what they have done or doing in this case, but I wish to urge upon them, and all other citizens who are anxious to maintain law and order, the importance of capturing the criminal, taking him out of the community and is the name of the Commonwealth dealing with him as it is proven he deserves. It will never do to console ourselves with the thought that Lawson was a bad character and deserved the death he got and thus become indifferent in bringing his murderer to justice.

The last couple paragraphs were unreadable. I assume he writes about neglect of church in this area.

Email from Elaine Via Feb. 1, 2008
Hi Bob, A few months ago, I had a young man email me about this family. And this is what he said

I am the grandson of Lilly Via. Her first and only husband was Edmund Alexander Herring. He was also know as Ed Shifflett as he was raised by his mother's husband. There is a great deal of confusion about this and I wanted to set the record straight. They had six children that I know of Herbert, Thomas, Sadie, (My Mother), Mollie, Margaret and Mellisa. Only Margaret is still living. I will try to assemble as much information as I can about this family. Alexander Herrings father was Walter Coleman and that is what my mother told me when I asked why my grandfather looked like the Colemans. If I can be of help let me know. Sincerely, Calvin Raynes Luther Calvin Raynes lcraynes@frontiernet.net

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
1007 Altavista Ave.
Charlottesville, Virginia
(Grandmother is written out from the address with an undermarking. )

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

Miss Shirlie Fantasie
17 Township Rd
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?

Lucy Jane Berry, daughter of Geo. W. and Sallie E. Berry, was born on February 8, 1850, near Harrisonburg Va., and was united in marriage to Xenophan Shifflette in November 1870. Only one child was born to this union, Wilbur E. Shifflette, now of Earlville. The family circle was broken on January 5, 1899 when the husband and father was called to the great beyond. Mother and son have never been separated, being constant companions, sharing joys and sarrows together all these years. The deceased was the fifth child of a family of seven children, three sisters, Mrs. Maria Shifflette, Mrs. Margaret Shifflette, Mrs. Frances Michael., and two brothers, Joseph and George Berry survive, all of Virginia, besides the son and seven grandchildren, of Earlyville. She lived in the land of her birth until 1916 when she came to Earlyville with her son and family and has been active in her home life until nine months ago when she was stricken with the disease that caused her death. She assed away at 1:50 o'clock, a.m. October 2, 1921, aged 71 years, 7 months and 24 days. Mrs. Shifflette was a member of the Earlyville Presbyterian Church, Mesdames Alyea and Gilmore sang beautifully. She was laid to rest in Precinct cemetery, Rev. Henry Abraham officiating. Note: Earlyville should be Earlville.

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

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.

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.

To: jcrosstx@charter.net (Julie Crosswell)
CC: LFSOFVA@aol.com (Larry Shiflett), EPOWELL555@aol.com (Eugene Powell), bklein26@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 voiced 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 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

Obituary From The Daily Progress, Charlottesville, VA, Jun. 18, 1953
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"

8 November 1999, From nadams@assure.net (Neva)
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.


Children from this marriage of Henry Benson Shiflett and Martha J. Walton were:

General Notes for Mary Jane Shiflett
1880 Greene Co., VA, Census, Monroe Twp, ED61, Family 31, Daughter, Mary Walton, age 5, living in HH of H. B. Shiflett and Martha Walton. Mary and Margaret maybe twins

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 wife Virginia age 58, in this HH. According too Neva's dad, he knew the Steven's family. Said he worked in the blacksmith shop. They definitely weren't related.

The birth records for Eugene in Albemarle county shows 1893, but the family tradition has always been 1894.

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.

Short Story by Vertie Shifflett Wade:
I was told many years ago by Sterling Shiflett that McClellan had some money in the local bank and he went to the bank and told them he wanted all of his money. The bank personnel tried to get him to leave it in the bank as it was safer to do so, but he insisted he wanted his money. So they counted out all his money and he then replied OK I just wanted to see if you had it.

Thomas served time for shooting Bertha [Ann Shiflett] Sipe, who I think was his girlfriend. She did not die from the shooting, but he served time for it. I don't know when that was. Thomas died one day before his mother, Louisa J. Frazier Shiflett, I went to their funeral -- I can still remember sitting across from the family and kept looking at my mother. She took it really hard.

The Lula Frazier Shiflett Murder

SATURDAY AUGUST 8, 1931
THE DAILY PROGRESS, CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA

BATTLE SHIFLETT WOUNDS WOMAN; MAKES ESCAPE
BULLET FIRED AT CLOSE RANGE; IS LODGED IN SPINE
Mrs. Thomas Shiflett has Remote Chance of Recovering; Is Mother of Two Children

ASSAILANT LEAPS INTO WAITING CAR
Shooting Occurs In Rear of Local Café; Officers On Trail

Authorities were preparing to scour Albemarle County this afternoon for Battle Shiflett, thirty-five, of Blackwell's Hollow, who this morning critically wounded the young mother of two small children by pouring a fusillade of pistol slugs at her in the kitchen of a West Main Street café. Four bullets took effect, one entering near the ear, causing total paralysis from the neck down. The other three wounds were in the groin, the right flank and the right arm.
The woman, Mrs. Thomas Shiflett, aged about thirty, hovers between life and death at University Hospital, where physicians are trying to save her from the effects of a bullet that entered behind her left ear and lodged in the spinal column. Attaches could not estimate her chances for recovery but described her condition as grave.
Assailant Escapes
Meanwhile, officers here will probably shortly communicate with authorities in nearby towns and counties asking their aid for the capture for the capture of the man responsible for the shooting. Shiflett killed a man by the name of Morris about ten years ago, but was acquitted on the grounds of self-defense.
The wounding this morning occurred in the kitchen of the Jefferson Café, Tenth and West Main Street, about 11 O'clock. According to witnesses Shiflett had been engaged in a length conversation with the woman. At its termination she went into the kitchen and he followed. There followed five shots in quick succession. Employees rushed into the rear room and found the woman lying on the floor, able to talk but otherwise completely paralyzed.
Leaves in Car
Shifflett had rushed out of the back door. The information given police was that he ran down an alley and behind a nearby apartment. Then an unidentified man drove up in an automobile and blew the horn, apparently as a prearranged signal. Shiflett ran from behind the apartment and leaped into the car as it sped out West Main Street. Police were notified in a few moments. The call was answered by Acting Chief of Police O. M. Wood and Motorcycle Officer J. E. Adams, who went to the hospital where the victim had been taken by M. W. Willis, who chanced to be passing by the place at the time of the shooting.
Retains Consciousness
At the infirmary the women talked intelligibly, and inquired about her chances for recovery. Physicians told her they were unable to tell, and she left the request that in event she died her children would be taken care of. Her husband is thought to be in Baltimore working.
Police Lieutenant B. A. Shipp, followed closely Officers Wood and Adams to the scene, and upon learning the manner of Shiflett's escape, gave pursuit out the Georgetown road. He sped over nearby roads for a half hour or more but gained so sight of the fleeing automobile.
Mr. Wood was still busy this afternoon investigating the motive for the shooting. The incident has aroused more indignation than any other crime here in recent months. A number of persons on the street were bitter in their denunciation of the brutal attack, and this bitterness was heightened when authorities learned Shiflett about an hour before the shooting had purchased a revolver at a downtown hardware store, giving credence to the belief that the affair was cold-bloodedly premeditated.
Shiflett was described as a Shifting individual, who moves from place to place at frequent intervals. Some of his time has been spent in Maryland and West Virginia, but most of his life has been lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where he killed Morris ten years ago. There was a good deal of conjecture as to his present whereabouts, some believing he had returned to his old haunts around the coal mines in West Virginia.

MRS. SHIFLETT DIES, ASSAILANT REMAINS AT LARGE
ELWOOD GARRISON ALLEGED HELP IN ESCAPE, CAPTURED
Police, Scouring Mountain District For Killer, Spread Search Into Two States

MANHUNT NETS ALSO SMALL LIQUOR HAUL
Motive of Inhuman Crime Said To Have Been Unrequited Affection

Acting Chief of Police O. M. Wood had a long distance telephone call this afternoon from the chief of detectives of the Harrisburg, Penn, police department telling him that Elwood Garrison accused of aiding and abetting in the escape of Battle Shiflett, after the later committed a murder here Saturday, is being held by authorities there.
Garrison, so the Pennsylvania detective said, readily admitted his identity, but declared he would fight extradition. Arrangements are being made here this afternoon to secure extradition papers.
Think Shiflett Hiding
Shiflett who killed his cousin, Mrs. Lula Shiflett, by shooting her five times at close range is thought to be hiding somewhere in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where he was born and raised, and where once before he took the life of a human being.
Mrs. Shiflett thirty-three years of old, the mother of two children and described as being more than commonly pretty, died at University Hospital at 1 o'clock yesterday morning, the victim of one bullet that penetrated her spinal column and lodged in the head. An autopsy revealed that four other bullets had taken effect in the body.
Establishes Motive
Acting Chief of Police Wood said this morning he had been able to establish a motive for the hideous attack that has shocked this community probably more than any crime in years. He stated it was unrequited affection, but declined to discuss the background of the case
The case was reconstructed today by authorities somewhat as follows: Mrs. Shiflett, who had been separated for some years from her husband, Thomas L. Shiflett, of Pirkeysville, had been living here for several months. She had a room in the home of E. F. Ward on Elsom Street. Before coming here she was in Hershey, Penn., where her cousin, Battle, Also worked. Officers mentioned there had been correspondence between the pair after the woman came here.
Shiflett, so authorities say arrived here early Saturday Morning. About 10 o'clock he bought a cheap pistol at a downtown hardware store. With this in his pocket, he went to the Jefferson Restaurant, where the woman had been employed for about four months, and became engaged in a controversy with her. When she went into kitchen on some duty he followed. People nearby heard five shots in rapid succession. Shiflett ran out of the back door, hid behind an apartment house until a car -- operated by Elwood Garrison, officers said '96 drove up in front of the place and gave a signal. The machine containing the two men was last seen speeding out West Main Street.
Scour Mountain District
A squad of city and county officers spent the entire night in the mountain section Saturday. The officers in the man hunt were; Sheriff J. Mason Smith, Deputy Sheriffs W. Abbott Smith and E. M. Powell, Police Lieutenant B. A. Shipp, Special Officer J. J. Buck, and Patrolman W. H. Mayo and V. J. Kirby. At one village they were told that Shiflett had passed through only a short time before, but no trace could be found of either the killer or his companion.
The search did net, incidentally, two gallons of liquor that Chap Wood was bringing out of Blackwell's Hollow. The posse happened to run into Chap and summoned him to appear here for a magisterial trial. He is now under bond in Federal court for moon shinning and has been convicted in county courts before.
Known as Bad Man
The officers searched through Blackwell's Hollow, Boonesville, Mount Fair and the surrounding territory. Shiflett's mother lives in Blackwell's Hollow and it is there he makes his home when in this section of the country and not dodging the law. But Shiflett is of a roving nature, and has spent a great deal of time in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Maryland.
Authorities think he may be hiding temporarily in the mountains around home. They believe that he plans to skip out at the first chance and make for some of his old haunts.
The acting chief of police said today Shiflett is known as a chronic "gun toter" and willing to use his weapons when under the influence of liquor. He was said to have been somewhat under the influence of drink when he perpetrated Saturday's grim act.
Broad Net is Spread
Not only is the chase being carried on in Albemarle County, but is spreading to other cities and counties, and even to other states. Officials are determined to bring to justice the slayer. Police here have communicated with authorities in a wide surrounding area and two warrants have been forward to the chief of police of Hershey, Penn., where both Garrison and Shiflett used to spend a great deal of time.
Shifflett is about thirty years old. He was described as being a man short in stature, having a prominent hooked nose, several gold teeth which he displays, and beady shifty eyes. Mr. Wood said he seldom worked but eked a living by bootlegging and gambling. About ten years ago he had a quarrel with a man by the name of Lomis Morris in Blackwell's Hollow. Morris was shot to death and an Albemarle County jury set Shiflett free on the grounds of self-defense. Since that time, officials stated, he has been roving back and forth from his mother's home to various industrial cities in four or five states.
Leaves Two Children
The victim of what many residents have no hesitancy in branding as one of the most dastardly and vicious in the history of the city leaves behind her two small children. On her deathbed she made requests to have them safely cared for. At present they are in the Blue Ridge Industrial School. Her husband is thought to be living in Baltimore.
Mrs. Shiflett is survived also by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Shiflett. She also leaves one sister, Mrs. William Frazier of Orange County and two brothers, James, of Charlottesville, and David, Waynesboro. There are four half brothers, named Frazier, and three half sisters, most of them residents of Hershey, Pa.


Mar. 2, 2000, According to Naomi Shiflett Roberts
Lula V. Frazier, her grandmother, was killed by Battle Shiflett in a restaurant in downtown Charlottesville, Aug, 8, 1931. Thomas and Lula were separated, and she had been going with Battle and broke off with him and he went in the restaurant on what was known at the time as "Vinegar Hill" and shot her where she was working. He got out of jail in the 1970's and is now deceased.

April 26, 2000 from Naomi Roberts
I just sent you a response to this reference Battle Shiflett. Elizabeth said that Tommie was working on the railroad and he made a lot of money, but that he lost his job, and they separated; she put the children - Gladys (my mother), Noah and Russell in Blue Ridge Industrial School in Dyke - an Episcopal school for broken homes. After the separation, she had been seeing Battle - 1st cousin to Tommie (Thomas L. Shiflett) - my grandfather,
and she told him she wasn't going to see him any more and he told her that he was going to kill her, and she scoffed at it to him, and he went out of the restaurant and came back and shot her. She lived 2 days. He got life, but he didn't serve life because he got out in the 70's. I am going to to archives at the Daily Progress paper and look this up. I want copies of the articles.

Jun. 12, 2000 from Naomi Roberts
Lula was a Frazier by name, because Martha never married Noah Herring, Lula's father. Nora, Hobert's wife, was her half-sister, but never acknowledged it. I just found all of this out recently. So, because Martha and Noah never married, Lula went by "Frazier" - her mother, Martha's name.

Summation by Norm Addington
According to 1914 Albemarle Co. Marriage Record to Thomas Shiflett, Lula parents are listed as Herron and Martha Frazier. Herron is believed to be (Noah Clark) Herring and Martha Frazier is Martha Shiflett who was married to George Frazier at the time of Lula's marriage. Although Lula was probably born as a Shiflett and is listed in the 1910 census in the household of George Frazier and Martha Shiflett as a Shiflett, according to family members Lula took on her mother's married name of Frazier early in life. When her first son, Noah Thomas Shiflett, was born, 13 Jan, 1915, she was listed as a Lula Frazier. Family members stated that Lula named her son after her father, Noah Herring.

14 July 2002, From <bobklein99@comcast.net>; Bob Klein;
Martha who's married name was Shiflett at the time of her relationship with Noah Herring was the mother of Lula V. Frazier, now according to Naomi Roberts (granddaughter to Lula) Lula took her mother's married name of Frazier. The newspaper articles of her murder by Battle Shiflett incorrectly state her parents as Mr. & Mrs. William Shiflett, according to Naomi. The 1900 Greene Co., Census shows Lula living with her mother in Grandfather David Shiflett's HH. Lula's tombstone list her birth date as Oct 1898, while the census has her born Oct 1899. It would be interesting to see the birth record for Lula.
In conclusion, I think that Martha was probably either divorced or separated from William Shiflett and was living with Noah Herring and bore him possibly two children, Thomas, and Lula.

Obituary From The Daily Progress, Charlottesville, VA, Jun. 18, 1953
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"

11 March 2002, (NOTE-The parents of Jared Shiflett are not yet documented, in conversation with Frances Boger, a descendant of Jared and Rebecca, she noted that Jared and Rebecca had a son named Ira Turner Shiflett and Turner Shifflett's son Joseph Nelson Shiflett had a son named William Jared Shiflett. Further research of the 1840 census of Rockingham Co., Va., showed that Turner and Milly Shiflett had a son born between 1825 and 1830 that had not been accounted for. It is assumed at this time that Jared Shiflett is this son.)

OCTAVE NELSON SHIFFLETT
Octave Nelson Shiflett died Saturday night, April 29, 1933 at his home near Shelby. He was paralyzed April 21 while about his farm duties. At times he seemed to rally temporarily from the stroke, and there was hope of his recovery, as he was conscious and cheerful, until Saturday morning when he took a turn for the worst and lapsed into unconsciousness and passed away about 9 o'clock. All the children were at his bedside except his son, Herbert, who is a patient in Walter Reed hospital, Washington. Mr. Shiflett was a leading farmer of Madison County. He was active and industrious, a good manager and in independent of circumstances. He had an equitable temperment which permitted him to accept conditions as they arose. He never complained when yields were poor or prices low. He was intensely devoted to his family and fond of home and farm life. He was hospitable to a high degree and those who came under his rooftree were welcome with warmth which will always be with them. Unassuming he occupied a strong position within Madison Citizenry. he was good hearted and loyal to his family and his friends. Worthy trails of character predominated with him. Mr. Shiflett was a helpful member of Bethel Methodist church, Rochelle, for many years. Mr. Shiflett was born Feb. 7, 1859 and was therefore 74 years ? months and 22 days old. He was a son of the late Jared Shiflett. He was born in Rockingham county. His parents moved to Madison when he was 8 or 10 years old, on the farm now owned by his brother.

For many years he had been a member of Stanardsville Lodge I. O. O. F. He had a fondness for the people of Stanardsville, which led him whenever opportunity presented itself to visit the village. His funeral Monday afternoon drew together a tremendous concourse from not only Madison and Greene, but adjourning counties as well. It was held at Bethel church. While the funeral cortege leaving the home was long already a great crowd had gathered at the church. This testified to the great esteem in which Mr. Shiflett was held in life.

Shifflett/Lam Cemetery near Swift Run Gap
Travel east on Route 33 through Elkton and park at roadside opposite entrance to Skyline Drive. Walk up south bank to old road (Spotswood Trail), which is overgrown for its entire length. Walk downhill (west) about 1/2 mile. Fenced cemetery on right at top of road bank. Opening at southeast corner; gate is gone.

There are 8 identifiable grave sites in the cemetery near Swift Run Gap. Vernangus A. Lam, Myrtle L. Shifflett, Salena V. Shiflet are the only three still readable. An old bench in the cemetery was built by Russell and Dorsey Shifflett.

Vernangus' stone has a hand pointing upward engraved on it and this poem:
We have lost our darling Mother
She has bid us all adieu
She has gone to live in heaven
And her person is lost to sight.
In her son, Newton's Bible, there is a piece of paper torn from a small notebook with these 2 poems written on it and this note:
We have lost our darling Mother
She has bid us all adieu
She has gone to live in heaven
And her person is lost to view.
(Why "sight" was substituted for "view" one can only wonder)
"or this is a good one Newt you take your choice."
A precious one from us has gone,
a voice we loved is stilled
a place is vacant in our home
which never can be filled

Her birth date from the Marriage Record is given as July 1, 1839, the inscription on her tombstone seems to read, January 1, 1839.

Sometime, maybe around the 1920's, Vernangus' son, George S., and his nephew, Herman (my grandfather), went up to the Mountain Cemetery and dug up 2 bodies: George's wife, Amanda, who had died on October 17,1892, and his baby son, Joseph Elmer, who was born on May 7, and died on June 1, 1892. They spent the night in Elkton and moved them to Waynesboro the next day in a spring wagon. They were reburied in Riverview Cemetery in Waynesboro. At this time, George was living in Waynesboro and working for Riverview Cemetery. I have checked with the cemetery and they don't seem to have any records of when they were buried.

Correction from Barbara S. Hensley:
This is Rebecca (Shifflett) Shifflett, Daughter of Solomon & Frances Collier Shifflett who married Alfred P. Shifflett (brother to Angus Jackson and sons of Turner & Mildred Powell Shifflett). Rebecca Morris (Daughter of Beverly & Deliah Morris) is buried in the Elk Run Cemetery along side of her son Honorias "Arias" Shifflett in Elkton, VA. She was born in 1850 and died in 1926. Amos Shifflett, grandson of Alfred & Rebecca, told me before he died that his Grandmother Rebecca was buried there.

HENSLEY/SHIFFLETT/POWELL: Sometimes called Turner Shifflett or Hill Shifflett (for Turner's son, Hilary). On west side of Roundtop Mt., quite far down, about 200 ft. short of (behind) old house site, on park-land tract 47a, Solomon J. Hensley. Cemetery 50 by 50 ft., overgrown. Fifty or more burials. Native stone markers and a marble headstone for Angus J. Shifflett. OR find from Powell Gap, starting northward on the Appalachian Trail, then following old wagon road that diverges, about 1 mi. to house site. Inscriptions as far back as 1850. Honorias Powell, who owned a thousand acres nearby (and for whom gap probably named) was buried here, according to Billie Jo Monger. Turner Shifflett was a grandson of Powell.

HE CLAIMS SELF-DEFENSE
Harrisonburg Man Charged with Murder
Admits Shooting Two Men
Special to The Washington Post
Harrisonburg, Va., Aug. 18 -- J. T. Shifflett, alias John Eaton, was landed in jail here this morning charged with the murder of Marvin Shifflett and dangerously wounding Ashby Lawson. Shifflett admits doing the shooting, which occurred late last evening, near Roadside, a small place in the eastern part of this county, but he claims that he acted in self-defense. Immediately after the shooting Shifflett gave himself up to the deputy sheriff, and was said he had been attacked by the two men whom he shot and another whom he did not know. It is said that Lawson will most likely die. All parties live in the same neighborhood, and the shooting is said to be the result of an old feud. Eaton is a married man.

TRIAL OF DAMAGE SUIT BEGINS IN CIRCUIT COURT
P. A. Shifflett Suing Sol. J. Hensley for Alleged Debauchery of Daughter, Eighteen

Second trial of the $10,000 damage suit of P. A. Shifflett against Sol. J. Hensley was begun yesterday in circuit court, the first trial several months ago having resulted in a hung Jury. Shifflett is suing for damages for alleged debauchery of his daughter, Polly, aged eighteen.

Considerable progress was made yesterday. Miss Shifflett being among the half dozen witnesses for the plaintiff whose testimony was completed. There were indications that the case may not take so many days for trial as it did previously.

Chas. A. Hammer and former Senator Geo. N. Conrad are attorneys for Shifflett. Hensley is represented by Charles Curry, of Staunton; E. D. Ott and John T. Harris.

SOL J. HENSLEY DENIES CHARGES AGAINST HIM
Has Tilt With Opposing Attorneys and Declares He Is Not Father of the Child

Hearing of evidence in the $10,000 damage suit of P. A. Shifflett against Sol J. Hensley was practically concluded in Circuit Court yesterday afternoon. The defense resting its case just before adjournment. Several witnesses in rebuttal will be called by the complainant this morning.

Hensley, who is said to be a farmer of considerable means, took the stand in his own behalf yesterday afternoon and denied absolutely the charges made against him by Polly Shifflett, eighteen, a daughter of P. A. Shifflett, and declared he was not the father of her child. Hensley is fifty-five, married and several years ago was a candidate for sheriff of Rockingham County. Shifflett is the man who appeared in the headlines years ago when he startled bank officials by bringing a satchel full of gold coins to town.

While on the stand yesterday Hensley became much angered and excited and at one point declared that former Senator George N. Conrad, who was then subjecting him to a severe cross examination, knew the case against him contained no truth. Chas A. Hammer, who with Mr. Conrad represents Shifflett, immediately objected, declaring that Mr. Conrad had no opportunity to reply to such assertions, and the court cautioned the witness not to use such vigorous language during the remained of his examination.

Admitting that he had made an effort to compromise the case, Hensley said he would rather have paid a small amount to settle the controversy than to see the wealth of himself and Shifflett "divided among the lawyers." This brought a storm of protests from counsel, and with Judge Hass and Sheriff Dillard rapping their desks to restore order. Hensley finally concluded by saying that he had been forced into court at great expense in order to protect his good name.

Several witnesses were called who testified to the good reputation of Hensley for truth and veracity and for morality prior to the present case. These witnesses also stated that Shifflett bore a good reputation in the community. A number of witnesses whose testimony was used in assailing the character of Polly Shifflett at the first trial of the case several months ago, and whose testimony the plaintiff then attempted to impeach, have not been called during the present trial. The evidence probably will be concluded at the morning sessions today, and the case argued by counsel this afternoon.

ANOTHER HUNG JURY IS PROBABLE IN DAMAGE SUIT
Jurors Trying Hensley Case Unable to Agree Yesterday -- Try Again This Morning

Deliberations lasting one hour in Circuit Court yesterday afternoon indicated that the second trial of the $10,000 damage suit of P. A. Shifflett against Sol. J. Hensley may result in another hung jury. The argument was concluded and the jury retired at 4 o'clock. An hour later the jury reported that it had so far been unable to agree, and Judge Haas then adjourned court until 9:30 o'clock this morning when the seven men will make another effort to reach an agreement.

The plaintiff alleges that Hensley debauched Polly Shifflett, a daughter of P. A. Shifflett, and is the father of her child. Hensley and Shifflett married sisters, and Hensley is therefore the uncle of the girl who made the complaint against him. Hensley flatly denies the charge, and maintains that he is being falsely accused. The first jury which heard the case several months ago, divided six to one in favor of damages. It is not known how the present jury stands, but the foreman in his statement to the court yesterday afternoon held out little if any hope of a verdict. Judge Haas, however, is especially anxious that there should be a verdict, and the jurors accordingly this morning will make another effort to agree.

Chas. A. Hammer for Shifflett opened the argument yesterday morning. He was followed by John T. Harris, E. D. Ott, and Charles Curry for Hensley. Former Senator George N. Conrad closed for Shifflett.

DROWNED NEAR ELKTON: Angus Shifflett, a Victim of High Waters at Harnsberger®s Ford.

Angus Shifflett, a resident of East Rockingham whose home was in the Roadside neighborhood, was drowned Saturday in the Shenandoah river a mile and a half below Elkton. The accident occurred at Harnsberger®s Ford soon after 1 o®clock in the afternoon and was witnessed by several persons standing on the river bank, who were powerless to render assistance. The river was considerably swollen by heavy rains Thursday night and Friday morning and it®s further rise during the forenoon was the cause of the drowning. Mr. Shifflett drove across the Harnsberger ford about the middle of the day, bringing his daughter in a buggy to Mr. C. G. Harnsberger®s place a short distance on this side of the river. Both he and his daughter observed that the water was considerably higher than usual, but they crossed in safety and took little account of the fact that the stream was still rising. Soon after 1 o®clock Mr. Shifflett started home and drove into the ford without apprehension of danger. The current, however, proved to be so swift that when he had gotten about one-third of the way across he appeared to recognize the peril of going further and attempted to turn his horse and come back. The buggy wheels became locked, the vehicle was upset, and the horse swept off his feet. Horse, buggy and driver were at the mercy of the flood. Mr. Shifflett was caught under the heavy buggy as in a trap and was seen no more. Several persons standing on the bank witnessed the accident but were powerless to aid the unfortunate man in his desperate efforts to escape from the raging waters. The entire outfit was swept down the stream. The buggy and the dead body of the horse lodged some distance below the Ford and by hard work were brought ashore.
Search for the body of the drowned man was continuing Saturday and Sunday, and again yesterday morning. At the middle of the day it has still been fruitless. As many as 75 people have been engaged in the work, and the river has been dragged for half a mile or more below the scene of the accident. The river is still high from the rains of Saturday and Sunday, and there is little hope of locating the body until the waters subside. Search parties were quickly organized and both banks of the river patrolled in the hope of recovering the body. Mr. Shifflett was about 50 years of age and leaves a widow and several children. He was a highly respected citizen of the community in which he lived.

The Rockingham Register, July 3, 1903
HIS BODY RECOVERED: Angus Shifflett Found More Than a Mile Below Place of Drowning.

The body of Angus Shifflett, who was drowned in the Shenandoah River not far from Elkton last Friday, was recovered Wednesday afternoon shortly after 5 o®clock. It was discovered by Charlie Yager and Marshall Johnson, members of the search party which had patrolled both sides of the river banks almost continually since the accident. The body was found lodged in a clump of bushes that overhung the river near the old Conrad ford, about a mile and a half below the point where the drowning occurred. It had been evidently held under the water until the flood receded, leaving it hanging in the bushes.
At 7 o®clock in the evening the body had not been removed, pending the arrival of an undertaker. As it had been in the water for more than five days, it®s condition was such as to require early burial. It was understood that at the time Mr. Shifflett was drowned he carried on his person a considerable sum of money. Whether this was recovered or not could not be ascertained last evening.

Angus married Rebecca A. Morris, daughter of Beverly Morris and Dellila (Lucy) Morris, on 4 Oct 1866 in Greene Co., VA. Rebecca was born on 15 Apr 1846 in Greene Co., VA, died on 2 Apr 1924 at age 77, and was buried in Elk Run Cemetery, Elkton, Rockingham Co., VA.

HE CLAIMS SELF-DEFENSE
Harrisonburg Man Charged with Murder
Admits Shooting Two Men
Special to The Washington Post
Harrisonburg, Va., Aug. 18 -- J. T. Shifflett, alias John Eaton, was landed in jail here this morning charged with the murder of Marvin Shifflett and dangerously wounding Ashby Lawson. Shifflett admits doing the shooting, which occurred late last evening, near Roadside, a small place in the eastern part of this county, but he claims that he acted in self-defense. Immediately after the shooting Shifflett gave himself up to the deputy sheriff, and was said he had been attacked by the two men whom he shot and another whom he did not know. It is said that Lawson will most likely die. All parties live in the same neighborhood, and the shooting is said to be the result of an old feud. Eaton is a married man.

JNO. SHIFFLETT HELD
Kills Marvin Shifflett and Wounds Albert Lawson.
John T. Shifflett, alias Eaton, was lodged in jail at this place, shortly before 12 o®clock Sunday morning under the double charge of murdering Marvin Shifflett, through whose heart he sent a bullet Saturday evening, and making a deadly attack alike upon Ashby Lawson, whom he shot in the shoulder, and W. Robert Shifflett. The homicide took place a abort distance west of the line between Rockingham and Greene counties, in Powell®s Gap, about a mile and quarter south of Beldor. Shortly after dusk Saturday evening the prisoner, whose home is near Beldor, and Charles W. Davis, his neighbor, were returning home together from the vicinity of the High Top Copper Mines when they encountered Marvin and Robert Shifflett and Ashby Lawson, also near neighbors of John Shifflett, immediately upon which the shooting took place. Shifflett fired, his friends claim, in his own defense, it being al1eged that he was attacked by the three men. On the other hand evidence introduced at the coroner's inquest held yesterday afternoon, was to the effect that be was the aggressor, opening fire upon the party without any provocation whatever.

Four witnesses were examined at the inquest, which took place at the home of the dead man, to which the body had been removed. They were Chas. W. Davis, Ashby Lawson, Robert Shifflett and Mrs. Chas. Powell. Davis testified that at the time of the shooting he and John Shifflett were returning from the vicinity of the copper mines, where they had gone to inspect a hay stack, which Davis proposed to trade to Shifflett for a buggy. Coming down the mountain together Shifflett, who was afoot, was slightly in advance of witness, who was horse-back. At a point where the road they were traveling was intersected by a second road they encountered three men, who proved to be Marvin and Robert Shifflett and Ashby Lawson. Immediately upon catching sight of the men, John Shifflett, who was armed with a pistol, called out to the three, saying, "What in h- are you doing on my road ?®,® at the same lime firing four shots in their direction. According to further testimony Marvin Shifflett, after a bullet bad passed through his heart and lodged in his spine, ran 100 feet before he fell dead. Robert Shifflett fled at the first shot and was not hit. Lawson was struck in the shoulder, the ball glancing and burying itself in his arc, where it had not been located last evening.

The prisoner, it was stated, had long been on bad terms with all of the three men at whom he shot. It was also established by the evidence of Lawson, Robert Shifflett and Mrs. Powell that the three men were out looking for their milk cows when the shooting took place. John Shifflett had been in jail several hours when the coroner®s jury returned a verdict finding him responsible for the death of Marvin Shifflett. He had been brought to Harrisonburg by H. W. Wyant, a son of Deputy Sheriff A. E. Wyant, who effected his arrest. The arrest was made by the deputy Sheriff at the home of the accused, who was not handcuffed or otherwise secured on the way to jail. Young Wyant stated upon his arrival here that he at no time entertained the slightest fear that his prisoner would attempt to escape, as he had voluntarily surrendered. The dead man®s friends, however, claim that while Shifflett did not resist arrest, he made no voluntary surrender. The accused is suffering with a light wound on the right wrist which it is claimed by his friends was made by a shot fired at him by one of the three men before he drew his own weapon. They assert that he was attacked, seized by one of his assailants and that he shot only in self-defense. On the other hand the dead man®s friends say the wound is self-inflicted, a fact which they allege is borne out by evidences of powder burns on the wrist. In this connection they cite the fact that the testimony before coroner was to the effect that neither Marvin or Robert Shifflett or Ashby Lawson was armed. The accused is about 28 years old and has a wife and five children. Marvin Shifflett, who was several years his junior, leaves a wife and two children. Lawson, who is about the dead man®s age, also has a wife and two children. Lawson was attended Saturday night and yesterday by Dr. W. A. Gordon, of Elkton.

Three Eyewitnesses Testified Against Him in Murder Trial
Special to The Washington Post
Harrisonburg, Va., Oct. 22 -- John Eaton, alias Shifflett, accused of murder was discharged today after an eight-day trial. August 17 he killed Marvin Shifflett and dangerously wounded Ashby Lawson. The verdict of acquittal was given notwithstanding the testimony of three eyewitnesses who swore that Eaton committed the murder in cold blood. The defense was that Eaton had been waylaid with intent to murder him.

My family line had similar story: my great-grandfather, John Shifflet Eaton from Eaton Hollow (east of Elkton-at base of Blue Ridge) was in gun fight with his wife's Shifflet family. John shot and killed one of the Shifflet men and John was arrest and was in the Harrisonburg jail (that he had helped build). At the trial he was found not guilty when a neighbor came forward and testified it was self defense. Another version of story says John was creating on his wife, Frances Shifflet Eaton and some of the husbands of his lady friends had the gun fight with him...............any body know of this story and gun fight ----------I guess it happen between 1900 and 1920

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 Charlottesville Hospital from 30 March, 1863 to 18 May, 1863 with cystitis/debilitias.

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, Albemarle County, Virginia. Just a day or so before the end of the War, Elizabeth was bringing some food for the prisoners and as she was coming over the hill she heard gunshots from the house. Calvin and several others, including Tipton Walton, were executed. Several others were able to make a successful escape". Note: Tipton and Sallie Dowell Walton's daughter, Sarah Ann, married Calvin's son, Charles P. Shiflett in 1870.

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 Albemarle history, please contact Norm Addington.

Calvin is most likely buried in the Old Shiflett Cemetery on the Lynch River on the late Leo Shiflett farm which is a few miles from where he was shot or possibly on Frazier Mountain. After Calvin's death, Elizabeth took up with Tom Frazier. Tom and Elizabeth had two children; Louisa J. Frazier, born 1868 and William A. "Little Tommy" Frazier, born 1871.



Calvin married Elizabeth (Herring) Shiflett, daughter of Absalom Shiflett and Winny Herring, on 7 Jan 1849 in Greene Co., VA. Elizabeth was born about 1828 in Greene Co., VA and died on 12 Dec 1895 in Greene Co., VA about age 67.

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.

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.

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.

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

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), bklein26@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 voiced 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 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

Comments: Nancy J. Shiflett was born May 1848, daughter of Adam Lincus (Lineas) Shiflett, born 1823, married 17 December, 1844, Cally (Caroline) Shiflett, daughter of Overton and Sally Herring Shiflett. The marriage licenses and/or death records of her children show four different fathers of her children: (Merry) Augustus Shiflett, Henry B. Shiflett, Conway Shiflett and Jessie Lawson (Jesse or J.L). Augustus Shiflett, born January, 1838, was the son of Ahas and Ginsay Shiflett; Henry B. Shiflett, born April, 1852, Albemarle County (8 years old in 1860 census), died 1925 West Virginia, was the son of Calvin and Elizabeth Herrin (Herring) Shiflett; Conway Shiflett, born 2 June, 1840, died 9 February, 1917, was the son of Burton Shiflett and Nancy E. Frazier; Jesse Lawson, born about 1847, Rockingham County, died 26 July, 1903, Albemarle County, son of Theophilus (Anful) and Margaret Caroline Herring Lawson.

Nancy is listed as single and Head of the Household in the 1880 White Hall District, Albemarle County Census. Children listed in the 1880 census are Adam, Sallie B., Eddie, Conway and Sara B. In the 1900 Census she is listed as Head of the Household, Widowed, with 7 of 8 children living and living 5 houses from Henry1s brother, Charles P. and his wife, Sarah Walton Shiflett. Children in the 1900 census are Edward, Conway, Lucy Ann, Rosa Lee and Ida Jane. In 1910 Nancy lived five houses from Charles P. and Sarah Walton Shiflett. In the 1910 Census Nancy is listed as Head of Household, Widowed, with 7 of 7 children living. Children in the 1910 census are Ida Jane and Nancy1s granddaughter Maggie, daughter of Rosa Shiflett. According to a granddaughter of Nancy she is buried at Mount Moriah United Methodist Church, White Hall, Albemarle County with no marker. Although Nancy is listed as widowed in 1910 census, no records can be found that she was ever married. Based on the information from the Nancy1s children marriage licenses, death records and other sources listed, Nancy had the following children by the fathers listed.

Henry next married Martha J. Walton, daughter of Tipton Parrott Walton and Sarah Sallie Dowell, on 10 Mar 1881 in Greene Co., VA. Martha was born on 27 Sep 1853 in Albemarle Co., VA, died in 1902 in Free Union, Albemarle Co., VA at age 49, and was buried in Ward Cemetery, Cedar Grove, Kanawha Co., WV.

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.

Henry next married Martha Johnson, daughter of Hiram Johnson and Vina Shelton, on 2 Dec 1907 in Kanawha Co., WV. Martha was born about 1850 in Kanawha Co., WV and died on 25 Nov 1925 in Dixie, Nicholas Co., WV about age 75.

From "The Higbee News" dated 12 May 1899--Miss Dollie Burton is the guest of her grandmother, Mrs. J. F. Harlow.

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 City; three brothers, James Burton, Turlock, Cal; C. C. Burton, Sisseton, Minn, and Wisdom Burton of Higbee, and a sister, Mrs. Mattie Dougherty also of this place as well as several nephews and nieces and many more distant relatives.

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.

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

Alfretta 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 Laman, daughter of Abraham Laman and Ann V. Unknown, on 24 Jun 1888 in Rockingham Co., VA. Mary was born on 14 Nov 1866 in VA, died on 24 May 1914 in Carrington, Foster Co., ND at age 47, and was buried in Carrington Cemetery, Carrington, Foster Co., ND.

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.

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.


Children from this marriage of Cornelius Turner Shiflett and Mariah Julia Berry were:

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.

VIRGINIA [Davis] SHIFFLETT
MRS. G. M. SHIFFLETT DEAD
Roadside Woman Dies of Pneumonia Following Attack of Influenza
Mrs. Virginia Shifflett wife of G. M. Shifflett died at her home at Roadside Wednesday morning from pneumonia following influenza. She was fifty-five years old. Surviving are her husband and eleven children. Alexander, Harrison and Joseph Shifflett of Roadside; Moses and Lee Shifflett of West Virginia, Mary of Elkton; David of Maryland; and Howard, Sadie, Lewis and Jacob Shifflett at home. She also leaves one sister Mrs. Charles H. Marshall of near Richmond, Va. and two half brothers Charles Davis and Joseph Wood of Roadside. She was a member of the United Brethren Church. Several other members of the same family are suffering from influenza.

Info from Craig Bowers:
There is a possibility that Virginia Ann Woods was a Davis before she married George. Virgina Louise Wood remembers that her husband's grandfather, George Minor Shifflett I, was married to a Davis. According to the marriage records of George and Virginia, she lists her parents as Joseph Wood and Mary Davis. This may possibly be where the name Davis comes in.

George next married Mittie B. Morris, daughter of Charles Morris and Rebecca (Beckie) Morris, on 11 Feb 1924 in Rockingham Co., VA. Mittie was born in Dec 1887 in Greene Co., VA, died in Oct 1953 in Harrisonburg, Rockingham Co., VA at age 65, and was buried in Evergreen Church Cemetery, Dyke, Greene Co., VA.

Hi Carl, thanks for replying regarding the Breeden line. I know a Breeden off of this line and will call him this weekend. He had told me he went back to John Wesley Breeden and Emma Shifflett but I could never figure out who they were. In the mean time, I am inclined to think that the Emma Shifflett below is the woman we are looking for:

Mary Emma F. Shiflett

P: William Hiden & Eliza Ann [Roberts] Shifflett
S: William H. Keyton, widower B: ca. 1857 SP: Lively & Sophia [Shiflet
Keyton
1870 & 1880 GCC- Daughter of Wm. H. & Ann E. Shiflett

Just guessing at this point, but I know this family has some ties to Augusta Co. around Harriston.

To all those that share, cross, or who otherwise have interest in the lines of John Miley Frazier and/or Jacob E (or M) Frazier:)

After many year of searching for the correct parents of my great grandfather John Miley Frazier (husband to Louisa E. J. (Ella Josephine) Shiflett who was the daughter of William Hiden Shiflett), I THINK I have finally come to a conclusion with supporting documentation. I have ordered and viewed microfilmed records from the Virginia State Library in Richmond, including Greene County records that include actual marriage licenses (Greene Co. microfilm reel #48, 1876-84) as well as marriage registries. As the licenses have complete names rather than just initials as in the registries, I believe that this information is more accurate and more complete, so I am putting a greater amount of stock in the information contained therein. Some of my conclusions also involve and are supported by the marriage license for Jacob Frazier who married Frances Jane Morris on 26 Dec 1883, just about 4 months before John Miley and Louisa were married, so I will also include information about him herein. This Jacob was the son of Michael P. (who went by the name of Miley or Mily) and Virenda Frazier. I have included copies of the marriage licenses/certificates for both couples. Please note that although the marriages for these 2 couples were only about 4 months apart, the records were done by 2 different clerks, with the one for John and Louisa being recorded by the deputy clerk. Ultimately, after reviewing all these records, I am now of the belief that John Miley was actually the son of Michael P. (Miley or Mily) and Virenda Jane Shiflett Frazier, and thus brother to Jacob.

Some of you know that I have had the longstanding belief that John Miley®s father®s initials were JM and thus he could NOT be the son of Michael and Virenda, and that this belief, was based on a marriage registry that I saw many years ago at the VA State Library that listed his father and mother separately. I KNOW that I saw a document in which his father was listed as JM and his mother as M & M which never made any real sense, except if one possibly assumed that her initials were M.M., or some have speculated that it may have stood for Mr. and Mrs. I have recently reviewed my detailed notes written at the time I saw the record, and it indeed said that his father was listed as JM and his mother as M & M, but I have been unable to locate the actual record I viewed, where the parents of the bride and those of the groom were listed independently. I can only assume that there may have been more than one version/format of the Greene County marriage registry, and that I have not yet happened upon the more obscure record again. However, based on the recent info I have seen, especially their actual marriage license, I now believe the earlier record I viewed to have been in error anyway. I am seeing that the marriage registries of these same marriage events list the names very differently than the actual licenses do, and that there is no consistency between them in how the names of the involved parties are listed. I have been able to obtain and attach copies of the actual records of the licenses (most important of all) for both John and Louisa and Jacob and Frances, but the print function on the microfilm reader stopped working correctly before I was able to obtain copies of the associated registries, so I don®t have those registry records attached, but I will go back to the records another day really soon and will try again.

So, onto the details and my conclusions, first of all, as you can see by the attached marriage license for John Miley (Jno. M) Frazier and Louisa E. Shiflett, his parents are listed as Mily and Mirinda Frazier (hence the M & M) while her parents are listed as Wm H and Eliza A Shiflett. On the marriage registry, John®s parents are indeed listed as M & M while Louisa E is listed as LE and her parents are listed as WH and EA-no significant discrepancies here except they®re using single initials) but IT®S INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT I HAVE ALWAYS SEEN THE MARRIAGE DATE FOR JOHN AND LOUISA TO BE 22 APRIL 1884, AND THAT IS WHAT THE LICENSE SAYS THE MARRAIGE DATE WAS TO BE, BUT THE MINISTER®S RETURN OF MARRIAGE SAYS IT WAS THE 20TH APRIL. I wonder if the minister got the date wrong or if marriage date was moved up 2 days sooner than planned, after the license was issued? The registry says the 22nd though. More questions. :)

In looking at the marriage license for Jacob and Frances, it lists him as Jacob Emanual (hence Jacob E) and his parents are listed as Miley and Airinda? (Or Oirinda?) Jane. It®s difficult to make out the first letter in her name, but we know her name to be Virenda Jane. But from the licenses, to me it appears likely that Jacob®s parents (Miley and Airinda (or Orinda?) Jane), and those of John Miley (Mily and Mirinda) are the same, and that they are thus brothers. However, the marriage registry lists Jacob as JM Frazier and his parents as Miley and Jane-NOT at all what®s on the marriage license! It appears that the E in Emanuel (as listed on the marriage license itself) was dropped either because it was informally shortened to Manuel by the family, or perhaps the E was not heard/detected by the clerk who recorded the marriage registry, but Jacob E and Jacob M are obviously the same person at the time of his marriage, so hopefully this also solves another mystery related to him: I have seen several census records and info on various family trees/websites that list the Jacob that married Frances Jane Morris as both Jacob E and Jacob M. and have wondered which was correct. I®ve wondered why the family would have had 2 sons named Jacob who grew to adulthood (rather than reusing the name Jacob if one of the children died in infancy, as was common in that day). I have also seen somewhere that the M in Jacob M®s name stood for Mitchell, but in viewing these marriage records, I now believe and think these records substantiate, that there was only one son named Jacob in this family and that Jacob E and Jacob M were one and the same. I assume that the M likely stood for Manuel, or, since that info had to originate somehow, perhaps he had a second middle name that may have Mitchell but perhaps he was not consistent in how he referred to himself (?). I have seen no significant proof to substantiate this latter assumption, but am just trying to figure out where "Mitchell" might have come from. I note from their marriage license that Frances®s father®s name was Mitchell, so maybe her father®s name was somehow confused with that of her husband? Who knows where it came from? I guess either of these possibilities are as plausible as any, but clearly from these records, his middle name was Emanuel or Manuel rather than just Mitchell.

Re John Miley®s parents, I have never heard of a Mirenda Frazier, but I can easily see how a clerk could erroneously get Mirinda out of Virenda, given accents, mumbling, distractions, a clerk that may have been hard of hearing, etc. Further, given the inconsistencies we see between the marriage licenses and the marriage registries for Jacob, which could well have been written by 2 different clerks on two different days, I can easily see how the registries can be in error-and that could certainly apply to the earlier register I saw that listed John Miley®s father as JM and his mother as M & M, i.e. perhaps the groom®s initials (JM) were mistakenly entered where his father®s name should have been by a distracted clerk, or since he shared his middle name of "Miley or Mily" with his father, maybe the clerk got confused or assumed that the groom was named first and middle name/initials (JM) after his father as well. Who Knows? But given the actual marriage license and the more complete info that is present there, I believe that we can reasonably assume that John Miley was the son of Michael P.("Miley") and Virenda rather than Mirinda, and brother to Jacob.

There are still some questions surrounding this family, like who was the 3 year old named John T listed in the HH of Michael and Virenda in the 1850 US census, but to my knowledge, he never appears again in any other records. Since JM (now presumably John Miley) was listed as one year old in the 1860 census, it obviously cannot be the same John, so although I have been unable to find a death record for John T, I can only assume that perhaps he died young and that the family subsequently named another child John (John Miley) years later. I have searched and searched in vain to find definitive proof that there were 2 different Frazier families, given discrepancies in how they were listed on the census records (using nicknames like Miley or Mily, middle names like Jane (1860), initials only, etc.) but have been unable to determine for sure if these records referred to one family in various ways, or to 2 different families.

There also remains some discrepancy regarding exactly when both Jacob and John were born. The 1860 census lists Jacob E as 9 years old which would have meant that he was born about 1851, but the 1880 census lists him as 27 which would mean that he would have been born about 1852 or 53 (depending on his birthday-but not too far off from 1851), but his marriage license lists him as 26 year old in Dec 1884 (he would have been about 31 based on previous info), which would mean that he was born in 1858, but the 1900 census lists Jacob, husband to Frances, as only 38 which means that he would have been born about 1862, if the 38 is being read correctly, so this produces a pretty wide variance between 1851 and 1862, but who knows how knowledgeable the person was that gave the info to the census taker? Errors can DO appear on census records. Clearly, the people of the day were not concerned about keeping track of their ages, and birthdays were not significant celebrated events in their lives, but I would tend to think that it would be harder to keep track of as they grew older, so I tend to put more stock in ages reported when they were young, so this would mean that Jacob was likely born between 1851-53.

Further, I have previously had that John Miley was born as early as 1856 ("about 44" at the 1900 census), but if indeed he was 25 at the time of his marriage in April 1884, he could have been born in 1858 or 59, depending on if he had had his birthday yet or not. This would be consistent with him being a year old in the 1860 census (there is clearly a difference between a 1 year old and a child of 4). Based on this info, he would have about 21 at the time of the 1880 census, but was not living in the home of his parents Michael P and Virinda then, nor was he yet married, so where was he living then? That might have made it much easier to determine if this was indeed his family, if he was living in their HH, huh? In any case, the variance between 1856 and 1959 is not too far off at all, but I think it most likely that he was born in 1858 or 59.

All in all, though not all available info lines up exactly, I believe that we can now reasonably assume, based on the actual marriage licenses more than any other document considered alone, that the John Miley Frazier who married Louisa E J Shiflett was indeed the son of Michael P. (Miley) and Virinda Jane Shiflett Frazier, and as such, that he was a brother to Jacob Emanual Frazier who married Frances Jane Morris.

Please take a look at the attached records and see if you draw the same conclusions I have. Hope all this makes sense, but if you have any questions, please don®t hesitate to ask. I®d love to hear your thoughts on all this and any feedback that you might wish to offer. Though some questions still remain unanswered, I feel that this is about as good information as we are likely to get on the matter, given the inconsistencies in all the records, since we now have the actual marriage licenses to refer to. Please update any websites and family trees accordingly and feel free to share this information and my conclusions as you deem fit. After many years, I think I am FINALLY ready/able to put the matter to rest in my mind, but I will send more info from the remaining microfilmed records if it appears pertinent. Thanks so much!

Here is some more that just came in from Brenda:
Let me tell you more about what I know about Dad's family. John H. Shifflet and Caroline Frazier were not married on the 1900 Census. She was listed as being his "housekeeper" and they had a child together. On the 1910 Census they were listed as being married and have more children, including my grandmother, Margaret Pearl Shifflett. She was born March 7 of either 1904 or 1909 according to my mom's notes. Margaret married Alton Eugene Thompson (1886-1976) on March 10, 1926 but I'm not sure where. They lived the majority of their lives (and my dad born in 1933) in Maryland. They had 9 children, #5 being John Francis Thompson, my dad. Margaret Pearl died February 3, 1988 in Waldorf, MD. I think that's all I know for now. I'm getting this in bits and pieces because I'm in Missouri and my Mom is in Florida. My brother and I are from WI but we've spread apart as so many families do.

HI Wendy! Each time I talk to mom I get a bit more information out of her. Here goes. In answer to your question, there were several siblings. There was a Henry Frazier (born in 1899) that was the child on the census before they were married; there was also a Lewis, Edgar, John, Mildred, Ida (who mom thinks married a Bob McDonald in Charlottesville) and perhaps an Andrew. Does this help any?
Also, I also made her look at the Census record again from 1900 and it looks like another person's suggestion to double check the middle initial was right. It could be an L. If that's the case then I think we've found them! I just have to find a way to "prove" that its them.

Bob:
Mahulda was born 22 Mar 1866 and died 04 Jan 1947 according to her tombstone. She is buried at Pleasant Hill Brethren Church in Crimora, Augusta County, Virginia. In your report you say that the obituary of Andrew Allen Frazier gives Henry Bernard Shifflett as his half brother. Is this the Andrew who is Caroline's son? I have seen the marriage license for John and Mahulda. The minister's return is filled out, so they definitely went through with the marriage ceremony. Yet, the obituary for Caroline says he was married to her at her death. Do you have any divorce or remarriage information for them? Mahulda's family denies that she was ever married. Her tombstone says "Mahulda J. Frazier."
So I'm wondering if the marriage was ever valid. I tried to look at your website, but none of the links worked.

John next married Mahulda Jane Frazier, daughter of Thomas Jefferson Frazier and Julia Ann Frazier, on 3 Mar 1913 in Rockingham Co., VA. Mahulda was born on 22 Mar 1866 in VA, died on 4 Jan 1947 in VA at age 80, and was buried in Pleasant Hill Brethren Church Cemetery, Crimora, Augusta Co., VA.

Bob:
I can't find a remarriage for them anywhere. Everyone in Mahulda's family is adamant about them never being married, but the minister's return proves they were. I'm thinking maybe her children put up the headstone and put "Frazier" on it because they wanted to forget it. Tex Ann Garrison was married a second time yet her stone has "Garrison" for her last name. Coincidentally, she is buried a few feet from Mahulda. Buried right across from her mortal enemy. She tried to shoot Mahulda and Dosh once. Mahulda's family said she did shoot Mahulda in the leg and that after that she walked with a limp.

JAMES WARREN SHIFFLETTE
ELKTON -- James Warren Shifflette, 85, who had farmed near here in Rockingham County for many years, died Monday night at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Irving Miller of Gordonsville. Born Feb 18, 1876, in Greene Co. He was the son of the late Liza Roberts Shifflette and Hyden Shifflette. He was a member of the Episcopal Church at Mission Home in Greene County. Besides his daughter, he is survived by a son William E. Shifflette of Charleston, SC; nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. The funeral will be held at 2 P.M. tomorrow at the United Brethren Church at Elkton with burial in Elk Run Cemetery.

Hi Bob,
I received your information on the James Warren Shifflett family quite a while back and you had alot that I did not have. I had the pleasure of going to the Roadside School reunion in Beldor Hollow up Swift Run near Elkton last month. While there two of James Warren's grandsons were there and we talked. They did not have much on their Shifflett family and I offered to send them a copy of what I had. Their brother William Earl was married into my Hansbrough line but their last name was spelled Shifflette and they always said that they were not related to our Shifflett's. Well after my years of research, I discovered that there James Warren Shifflett was a younger brother to my George Minor Shifflett. I know that James Warren's obit lists Shifflette but no other record I have ever found on him had the name as Shifflette. At any rate I sent them a copy of what I had and I received a letter from William Earl the grandson of James Warren.

Earl made a couple of corrections to James Warren's information so I thought that I would pass them on.

Actually William Everett Shifflette was married three times.
First to Agnes Wood and they had children, William Earl, James Warren, Almeda Mae, and Eileen Irene. William and Agnes divorced.
Second was to Mary (last name unknown, and she was married previously and had some children. William and Mary had a son Larry D. Shifflette.William and Mary divorced.
Third was his marriage to Ethel M. Vondra and they had no children.

Also Earl told me to get in touch with Beatrice, Selona "Lona"s daughter and James Warren's granddaughter. He said she would be able to fill in some of the blanks on this line and I told him that I would contact her. I will also let you know what I find out.

Bye for now,
Cathy Shifflett Phillips

MOTHER KILLED, BABY HURT BY SHOT FROM INFANT SON
FIVE YEAR OLD BOY DISCHARGES SHOTGUN INTO HIS MOTHER'S BREAST
BABY'S LEFT ARM SHOT OFF
MOTHER WAS PICKING SPLINTER FROM BABY'S FOOT WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED.

Mrs. Bernard Shifflett, of Roadside, seven miles east of Elkton, was shot and almost instantly killed and her eleven-months-old daughter Ruth had her left arm shot off and a deep flesh wound inflicted yesterday morning when a loaded shotgun with which five-year-old George Shifflett was playing discharged and hit the mother and babe at close range.
The mother was dead when the father reached the home shortly afterwards, and the baby was brought to the hospital here during the afternoon by Dr. J.R.Shacklett, where Dr. J.H.Deyerle amputated her arm between the elbow and the shoulder.

MR. SHIFFLETT ABSENT
According to reports of the tragedy, Mr. Shifflett, who is a farmer had gone to work and the older of the seven children at home had gone to school at Roadside leaving the baby, the five-year-old son, George, and a daughter older than him at home with the mother.
The mother was sitting on a bed picking a splinter out of the baby's foot, which she was holding on her lap. The older child got the shotgun from some place in the house and was tampering with it according to the reports, when it discharged, the full load of shot entering the mother's chest, and at the same time mangling the babe's arm and chest. It is believed the boy had procured the shell and placed it in the gun at some previous time, unknown to the parents. The older daughter at home ran at once and told her father, who was about three hundred yards away that brother had shot the baby. Mr. Shifflett hastened to his home to find that not only was the child seriously wounded, but that his wife was lying across the bed in a dying condition.

MOTHER DIES AT ONCE
Dr. J.R.Shacklett, at Elkton, was immediately summoned and on his arrival pronounced the mother dead and set about to dress the baby's injuries. As soon as arrangements could be made, the infant was brought to the Rockingham Memorial Hospital where Drs. Deyerle and Shacklett amputated the mangled member near the shoulder. Mrs. Shifflett was about forty years of age, and before marriage was Miss Fannie Davis, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Davis of Roadside. Surviving are the husband, six children, Wilmer, 20 years old, Elmer, 17, Nellie, 15, Herman, 13, George, 5 and Ruth, eleven months, her parents, and the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. Elic Shifflett, of Beldor; Mrs. Warren Shifflett of Simmons Gap; Warren Davis of Green County; Arthur Davis of Simmons Gap; Luther Davis of Bemis, W. VA.; and George Davis whose address could not be learned. Funeral services, it was announced, will be held from the Davis home this afternoon at 2:00 o'clock.

GREENE COUNTY JUSTICE OF PEACE IS KILLED BY MORRIS
Shooting Resulted After Prisoner Had Been Fined for Carrying Concealed Weapon

WITNESS IS FIRED UPON
John H. Morris Narrowly Escaped With Life - Prisoner Makes His Escape to Mountains Section of Country.

Elkton, March 30 -- Stanardsville, the county seat of Greene County, was the scene Saturday afternoon between 12:30 and 1 o'clock of another tragedy, in connection with the trial of Edgar Morris, charged with disturbing the peace and carrying concealed weapons. As a result Son Sullivan, a justice of the peace is dead.

According to information available, the Morris case was called for hearing by Justice Sullivan but the prisoner objected to this magistrate, and the case was taken before a justice in Stanardsville. Morris was found guilty of the charge and was given the minimum fine of $20.00 and costs. It is asserted that Son Sullivan, the justice who was to have tried the case, desired to have the fine increased and while arguing with the trial justice, Edgar Morris pulled his gun and fired upon Sullivan six times, the first shot striking him in the forehead between the eyes, and the other five shots taking effect in his body. Morris had two shooting pieces, one a 38 caliber revolver, the other a 32 caliber revolver. John H. Morris, one of the witnesses in the case was fired upon twice, but neither bullet struck him.

After committing the murder, Morris succeeding in getting away from the officers and escaping into the mountainous section of the county. Sheriff Russell Malone and his deputies have all been scouring the mountains for the fugitive.

The fugitive from justice was one of the star actors in a tragedy which occurred Christmas Eve during a Christmas Party given by Rollen Shifflett in Shifflett's Hollow, Greene County, when Rollen shot and instantly killed Timothy Shifflett and when Edgar Morris a pal of Timothy's and a son of Deputy Sheriff George Morris of Greene County, was seriously wounded, being rushed immediately to the University Hospital. His trial in this matter had never been heard and at the time of Saturday's shooting he was out on bail in the sum of $1200.00. According to statements made by church people and others intimately acquated in Bacon Hollow, his home, Morris is inclined to be desperate and has frequently interrupted church services and parties.

My father's mother [Ella Frances Sullivan Walton Bruce], died from pouring kerosene on hot coals, the fire exploded and she was burned very bad. Someone came and got my Dad, she died in U V A hospital in Charlottesville. He told the story many times before he died. At one time my Dad had a picture of her in the coffin, do not know what happened to the picture. I have a pencil drawing of Henry P. Walton the picture is faded a lot now. The only picture my Dad had.

Obituary From The Daily Progress, Charlottesville, VA, Jun. 18, 1953
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"

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN VIRGINIA.; EXECUTION OF ANDERSON SHIFFLETT AT HARRISONBURG HE DIES PROTESTING HIS INNOCENCE.
The New York Times, September 26, 1877, Wednesday
HARRISONBURG, Va., Sept. 25, Anderson Shifflett, who, with Silas Morris, was condemmed to be hanged for the murder of David G. Lawson, was executed, in the Jailyard here to-day. Morris was respited to Oct. 23 by Gov. Kemper yesterday. Shifflett made a dying statement to Rev. David Barr, his spiritual adviser, asserting his innocence of Lawson was to be killed. This statement was read to him in his cell this morning and signed by him. The sacrament was administered to Shiflett at 8:30 o'clock this morning, and a few minutes before 10 he was lead from his cell to the scafold by the sheriff and a deputy, accompanied by the reverend Mr. Barr. He was completely unmanned, and had to be supported up the steps of the scaffold. He swept bitterly and loudly protested his innocence of the killing. Reverend Mr. Barr read Shiflett's statement from the scaffold. He called God to witness that what had contained was true. In substance it was as follows: Four weeks before Lawson was murdered, Samuel Hall, one of the State's witnesses and against Shiflett, offered him $25 to kill Lawson, saying that if he did not do it there were two others who would; he knew the day was fixed for Lawson to be killed, and knew when it was done. He said that he was standing on knoll No. 3, 100 yards off, heard the fatal shot fired, and knew than that Lawson was killed. He denied that he had ever confessed the murder to any one before his arrest, or that he was paid any money by Morris to do it. He protested that a former confession, made by his sentence, was not true, and said he was induced to make it to get money for his family. He was promised, he said, $18 in money and two bushels of wheat, to make that confession. $1 only had been paid to his wife. Mrs. Lawson, also condemned to be hanged for the same crime, he said, did not offer him money, but told him that he would get money if he would put her husband out of the way.

The gallows was erected at one end of the small yard at the rear of the jail, and the execution took place in the presence of about 50 persons. The scene moved the stoutest heart. The sheriff and his deputies, unused to such work, were nervous and greatly excited. The rope used was less than half an inch in thickness and thought to be too weak by many, which proved to be true. After the clergyman had read the statement of the condemned man, and offered up prayer, and while the sheriff was adjusting the rope about Shiflett's neck, he wept bitterly, saying: "Gentlemen, I never did anything to anybody to be hanged for. Indeed, I did not kill Mr. Lawson. As sure as you are born you are hanging an innocent man." There was much delay in getting ready to spring the fatal trap, and as the rope holding the trapdoor was cut, the doomed man fell downward to the ground -- the rope was broken. Shiflett uttered a groan and was again lifted on the scaffold. Here he renewed his cries and lamentations, exclaiming: "God knows I am innocent." A second and a stronger rope was procured. While it was being adusted, he asked deputy sheriff Bowman to raise the black cap from his eyes so that he might look upon the light once more. His request was granted, and turning to the spectators he said, with some firmness, "Gentlemen, I bid you all good-bye." The second attempt of the sheriff was successful, and the doomed man was swung off into eternity. In 11 minutes, the physicians pronounced life extinct, and in 28 minutes, he was cut down. Upon examination, it was found that his neck was not broken. There was no excitement over the affair. Very few people from the country were in town, and the citizens generally stayed indoors. A Militia company guarded the jail and its approaches. Shiflett's guilt is doubted by few in the community, and the condemned accomplices are believed also to be guilty.

Anderson married Susan H. Greer, daughter of James Greer Gladden and Sarah Sallie Gladden, Susan was born on 15 Oct 1844 in VA and died on 9 Apr 1906 at age 61.

1999, Article from Larry Shiflett:
Rockingham Register, July 31, 1903
"MOUNTAIN TRAGEDY - Jesse Lawson Shot and Killed by Burrus Shifflett - Bloody End of Bitter Feud:
News was received have Tuesday of the murder of Jesse Lawson, which was committed in Shifflett's Hollow, in the Albemarle county, not far from the Greene county line, Sunday night. It was stated that Burrus Shifflett fired the fatal shot, and he is now a fugitive from justice.
The details of the killing reached Harrisonburg through the Swift Run Gap people who had come to town as witnesses and interested parties in the Richards vs. Morris case, and they constitute a tale of mountaineer enmity and hatred worthy of the darkest regions of Kentucky and West Virginia. It started with a woman in the case. Several years ago Lawson and Shifflett had a had a quarrel, and it was over a woman. Shifflett swore he would not die until he had laid low the man he hated. A year or two afterward Lawson was arraigned in the courts charged with burning a barn. He was given two years in the penitentiary on the oath of Shifflett. He returned from Richmond, declaring to his friends that he had served his time as a innocent man, which was afterwards proven to be true. A second time Shifflett's vengeance overtook him this time in the shape of a load of buckshot, which, however did not prove fatal.
Shifflett disappeared and became a virtual outlaw for a long time. About a year ago he made his appearance again and shot Lawson a second time, with a like result. He was a fugitive from justice again until last week, when he came back into the Shifflett's Hollow country and in the presence of Lawson repeated his oath that he would kill him yet. Sunday night he made good his threat. Lawson had gone out of the house about 9 0'clock and on returning the fatal load of eight buckshot was fired into him. He lived for about an hour after he was shot. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon, which prevented his brother from attending the Richards-Morris trial. The country around the scene of the murder is one of the wildest in the Blue Ridge and Shifflett has so far eluded the pursuit of the law if, indeed, any effort has been made to apprehend him.
Lawson's life was an eventful one. He had been shot five times - three times by Burrus Shifflett, once by Overton Shifflett, and once by Sanford Davis. He is said to have bee a man of great physical courage, and that fear was a stranger to his composition. As Burton Morris put it, and Burton knew him intimately for many years, he was a man naturally of a peaceable disposition, but had been made desperate by stress of circumstances. Shifflett has the reputation of being one of the most desperate men whose names are linked with the criminal history of Shifflett Hollow.

It is a singular coincidence that Anderson Shifflett, who was hanged here in 1877, had murdered David G. Lawson, an uncle of the present victim, and that the murderer was a close relative of Burrus Shifflett."

I've been going through my records and wonder if George S. Lawson married to Malinda A. Baugher could be the s/o David Lawson and Louise May Morris. Sallie's marriage to George S. Lawson was her 2nd marriage. She was 37 (I believe 40) and he was 56. I did not make a note saying he was a widower, only that she was divorced. George's parents were listed as David & Louise Morris. George's age makes it very possible but without proof it's no help. Just thought I'd mention the possibility. I don't have Greene Co. marriage records, just Rockingham and there is no marriage for them in those records. Edith

I've checked Page and Rockingham and can't find a record of George S. and Malinda A. Baugher. Next, I guess, is to try Augusta. I doubt that I can talk my cousin into checking the records in Staunton but I'll give it a try. George Thomas Hensley s/o Bill Hensley and Nina Lawson moved to Verona, VA several years ago from Florida. He finally talked his mother into moving into an apartment in Staunton. We thought Nina just celebrated her 90th birthday but it was her 91st, going by the 1910 and 1920 census. She wasn't happy with me for checking that. I asked her, at her age, what difference it made? She said I made an old woman out of her. I'm glad she is so much closer now and I can see her, as well as Henry, when I go to Harrisonburg. They are my last surviving aunt and uncle. Edith

Karol Lawson
Thank you for forwarding to me the May 18 Lawson family information. I can add a bit to that. As Anthony knows, I am the great granddaughter of Moses McClellan Lawson (b. 1867) [son of David G. (1836-1875)]. My father, Kenneth, is his grandson. Here is the basic information we can supply:

generation #3: David G. Lawson was murdered in 1867. Several people were tried (and one--Anderson Shiflett--hanged) for the crime. His wife and her brother were tried (twice) and then released. Anthony has a copy of a Shiflett family history of the incident.

His wife, who your records name as Louisa May Morris, we known as Lucy Ann (Morris) Lawson. After her release from prison in Richmond she did not return to the Elkton area. She died in 1919 in California, and is buried at the cemetery at Mare Island Naval Shipyard (Vallejo, California), having worked for a number of years for the family of a naval officer stationed there. Her tombstone reads "Mrs. Lucy A. Lawson." As far as is known she had little or no contact with her children, George and Moses.

generation #4: Moses was fostered in Harrisonburg (by the sheriff) and completed high school there. George, the elder, worked on a farm in the Elkton area. Moses in particular is described at length in newspaper stories about his father's murder and the subsequent trials. Moses left Harrisonburg about 1890 or 1891 and went to the Chicago area. He worked for the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad (promoted to engineer in 1899) for over 30 years. He married (by at least 1900--I'm unclear on the date) Ella Koss in Chicago. As far as we know, Moses had no contact with his Elkton relatives following his move to Chicago.

generation #5: Moses and Ella had three children: Leslie Melvin Lawson (1901-1967) [my grandfather]; Bernice M. Schuler (b. 1904); and Lilas V. Maloney (b. 1908). Moses McClellan Lawson is buried, with his wife and some of their children and in-laws, in an old German cemetery on the west side of Chicago. All his grandchildren were born and raised in Chicago.

Buried Christian Cemetery, Greene Co., Va., he lies in an unmarked grave beside his father Andrew.

1999, Family information from Talmadge Shifflett. TSofVA@aol.com
On the Greene Co. Voter Poll tax list of 1902 there is a J.W. Shifflett listed with a birthdate of Oct. 6, 1868. According to his son Arthur Shifflett's birth registration John was 46 years old at the time of Arthur's birth in Feb 1915. That would put John born in 1868. Since we know that his month of birth was October, I believe the J.W. Shifflett on the 1902 Poll Tax list is this John Wesley Shifflett. Also, John Wesley was listed as 11 yrs old in the 1880 GCC. Since the census was taken in June 1880 and he was 11 and his birth was in October, I feel that the birth year of 1868 is correct. I have no hard evidence to substantiate this. Just circumstantial.

Email from Talmadge Shifflett Ju. 13, 2011
As of August 2002 John's grave has a marker. It was put there by some of his descendants. Monroe Township, Greene Co., Va census shows John's birth as Oct 1869. I believe this to be one year off. According to evidence in earlier Census records his birth should read Oct 1868. On the Greene Co. Voter Poll tax list of 1902 there is a J.W. Shifflett listed with a birthdate of Oct. 6, 1868. According to his son Arthur Shifflett's birth registration John was 46 years old at the time of Arthur's birth in Feb 1915. That would put John born in 1868.

This would put him as 2 years in Oct 1870.

2 February 2001, From Ron Williams, <rewms@adelphia.net>, Subject: Williams Graveyard. I spoke to both my uncles, Elbert and Denzal since I received your letter and I thought I better send what information I got along to you before I forget it or lose it. My genealogy desk is an absolute mess with papers and books everywhere. It's not hard to accumulate lots of paper when you get involved in this kind of research. First of all, I checked my records and found that Mrs. Gertie Williams' husband, Haywood Williams was the son of Nicholas Williams, my grandfather, Durrette Williams' brother. Nicholas and Durrette were the sons of the Gratton Williams and Lourainey Conley Williams that I'm looking for. If Haywood is buried in this graveyard, then I believe that may be where we'll find the others. Still not positive, because I don't know if there is more than one Williams graveyards. A lot of my ancestors lived up there, actually all over and on both sides of High Top Mountain. Gratton's father and grandfather are buried somewhere on the Rockingham County side, most probably in Shenandoah National Park. My Uncle Elbert is old enough to remember living up there before my grandfather moved to Albemarle County. My father was born at Geer, VA which I understand was the Post Office for that area back then. Anyway, Elbert said that in addition to his grandparents being buried there, he knew of his little sister, Susie who died in 1923 and also of his uncle, Kenneth who died in the early 1920's. Lourainey died in April 1920 and although I could not find a date of death for Gratton Williams, I expect he died between 1920 and 1923. Haywoods father, Nicholas is porbably buried there, too. There may also be some infant graves for I show some Census records listing children that I have not found any record of. Elbert said he remembered the graveyard being near and above the old house, whose foundation may still be visible. My Uncle Denzal remembers going up there with the family when he was just a boy. They went to clean and maintain it. He said they had to leave their cars and walk in. He said there was a fence of wire or some other like material surrounding the site but doubts if that still remains. Sincerely, Ron Williams, rewms@adelphia.net

FARMER IS HELD IN WIFE KILLING
Berkeley Woman Beaten to Death With Gun, Spade, Police Say

Martinsburg, July 16 (AP) Layton B. Shifflet, 50 years old, a tenant farmer, is in jail charged with slaying his wife, Mrs. Ann Shifflet, 36 years olk, who died of injuries police said were inflicted by her husband.
Physicians said she received a fractured skull and other injuries. Police said she had been beaten with a shotgun and a spade.
Shifflet, who was arrested at his home after the beating was reported to officers, told them he remembered nothing of the fight. Officers said he was intoxicated when arrested.
Mrs. Shifflet was found in the yard of her home after Harvey McDonald, owner of the farm, had called for help. He told investigators Shifflet chased him from the premises when he attempted to intervene.
The Shifflets had seven children, several of whom witnessed the beating of their mother and ran to McDonald's home for aid. The youngest child is six months old, the oldest 14 years.
Police said they found bloodstains in several rooms of the house and there was blood on Shifflet's clothing when he was found. After his arrest, they said, he attempted to hang himself in the Berkeley county jail. Police said the Shifflets formerly lived in Virginia.

LAYTON B. SHIFLETT HELD AS WIFE SLAYER
Martinsburg, W. VA. July 15 -- Layton B. Shiflett, 50, tenant farmer living in the Northern section of Berkeley county was in jail here today charged with first degree murder in the death of his wife, Anna, 36, who died in a local hospital late last night of a double skull fracture and other injuries. Shiflett arrested at his home where he was found asleep and intoxicated on a couch today said he could not remember anything that happened at the home yesterday afternoon. The woman was found in the yard at the home by officers who were called by Harvey McDonald owner of the farm, after he had been chased from the home by Shifflett. Children of the couple witnessing the alleged fatal beating of their mother in which Shiflett is said to have used the butt and barrel of a shotgun and a spade, had to run to McDonald for aid. Officers said they found blood in every room of the house, plaster knocked off and the home generally showing the effects of a raging attack. Mrs. Shiflett's body was bruised and bloody, Shiflett's clothing was also bloody.
The woman was rushed to a hospital here by officers and died within an hour. An autopsy later showed the double skull fracture at the base and side, causing death. Shiflett, it was learned, tried to hang himself last night by tearing up a shirt in his cell. He was in tears today when questioned at police headquarters and begged to be permitted to see the body of his wife. The family came here from Virginia originally. They have seven children, the youngest aged six months, the oldest 14 years. Two years ago officers were called to the Shiflett home on complaint that he had shot Sailor Spitler, a neighbor who had gone to the Shiflett home as a result of appeals for aid. Shiflett at that time bit one of the investigators.

The Greene County Record, Nov. 22, 1934
GUILTY PLEA BY SHIFLETT; HE GETS LIFE
Martinsburg, W. VA. --- Pleading guilty to the murder of his wife, Anna, 36 last July, Layton Shiflett, 50, was sentenced to life imprisonment in the State Penitentiary by Judge Rogers in Circuit Court here Wednesday. Shiflett, accused of beating his wife to death in a drunken rage heard the indictment read by Circuit Clerk W. C. Morton. When Mr. Morton finished, Shiflett said in a low tone; "I feel that I'm guilty." He repeated the remark later, definitely acknowledging himself "guilty." Judge Roberts informed the prisoner that he had acted wisely for had the details of the crime been bared to a jury it was the court's opinion that hanging would have been ordered. The court room was crowded with spectators who apparently expected Shiflett would go on trail. Evidence following Shiflett's arrest revealed the attack followed a visit to this city where he became intoxicated. When officers arrived at the home they found Mrs. Shiflett's battered body in the yard and Shiflett in a stupor.

Comments:
Would like to find any information on Layton Braxton Shifflett, born Augest 23, 1884, married Lucy Dean, children, Nettie, Earnest, Julia. Divorce date unknown. Married Anna Haney, March 12,1920, children, Clyde,Lorraine,Mable,Mary Elizabeth,Annie Virginia, Josephine, and Florence. I am Annie's oldest daughter. My uncle Clyde, (Happy) died a few years back somewhere in California. Annie, (my mother) and her sister Mable, reside in Indiana. I believe Aunt Jo lives in Maryland. I have not been able to locate Mary Elizabeths family and have no idea what ever happened to Florence as she was removed from the family as a small child. Lorraine died in an auto accident in the late 50's or early 60's, she had one daughter named Pasty. My grandparents, Layton and Anna Shifflett lived on McDonald farm near or in Martinsburg, W. Va. Last known address of Florence, London, W Va. Known friends of Layton and Anna, Kenneth Jacobs, son of Thomas Jacobs. Any information would be helpful.

Posted by: Charlene J. Date: April 07, 2000 email: charp02@wbtv.net
The children were seperated and raised by different family members, though I'm not sure which. Annie, Josephine and I believe Mable, lived with their Uncle Raymond and Aunt Sadie, (Laytons twin) on MacDonalds farm somewhere around Martinsburg.

The following article (partial) appears in the newspaper, The Rockingham Register, Harrisonburg, Virginia (Friday, December 1, 1905, microfilm from the Virginia State Library at Richmond):

"................the house and spent some time in the thickets, hiding from her drunken husband. Late at night she reached the home of Jack Holloway, not far distant. Her condition was most pitiable, one eye being swollen entirely shut and her face and body cut and bruised in several places.
Mrs. Lam is a small woman in delicate health. From her appearance and disconnected statements it is believed that she had fainted in the bushes and lay there for several hours before she revived sufficiently to drag herself to Holloway's place.
After the attack upon his wife Lam went to the home of Mrs. Lam's brother, James Crawford, Jr., and according to evidence introduced at the preliminary hearing Tuesday afternoon, told Mr. Crawford that he was going to kill Charlie Moubray. Lam had a single-barrel shotgun in his hands at the time. He proceeded to the distillery, which is only a short distance from the Lam and Crawford houses.
Evidence was introduced to show that Lam approached the distillery soon after sundown Monday evening with a shotgun in his hand. Bob Moubray and Charlie were standing near the door of the house and as Lam approached the former asked him where his game was. Lam is said to have replied: "I am going to shoot it now." Without the slightest hesitation he broke the gun, inserted a shell in the breech and fired point-blank at Charles Moubray, who was only ten or fifteen feet away.
The load of buckshot took effect in his left side and his hand was badly shattered. Three buckshot penetrated the body and came out at the back, just above the hip. Three more shot lodged in the body and several more were found in the hip. Moubray fell and his assailant, who was reeling drunk, turned and staggered back to his home. The injured man was carried to his own home, only a short distance away, and Dr. W. A. Gordon, of Elkton, was sent for and reached the scene betrween 8:30 and 9 o'clock, accompanied by W. C. Long, a farmer living near Elkton.
Dr. Gordon found Moubray sitting in a chair. After removing the man's clothing probed for the shot, with the result that half a dozen buckshot were taken out. Moubray's left hand was so badly riddled by the shot that it was found necessary to amputate two fingers. Moubray's condition is regarded as critical. It is believed that if the shot in passing through the body penetrated the abdominal cavity there is little hope for his recovery. There is also grave danger of blood-poisoning, resulting from the injured hand.
Moubray is a man of good constitution and strong will-power, and this is greatly in his favor.
The injured man made a statement in the presence of Dr. Gordon and Mr. Long, in which he said he was unable to account for Lam's assault upon him. He and Lam married sisters, daughters of James Crawford, who lives in the same settlement, and their relation toward each other had usually been of a pleasant nature. Since he claimed that Lam took an unfair advantage of him, he spoke in the bitterest terms of his assailant.
Lam has been in the employ of Marvin Long, an extensive machine operator in East Rockingham, for several years. He had the reputation of being a hard-working man when sober, but is addicted to the use of liquor at times. It is said that when drinking he is a veritable fiend and it was during one of these frenzied periods that he committed the murderous attack.
Moubray has also been in the employ of Mr. Long at the latter's sawmills and is ordinarily of a quiet disposition. Both men are between 35 and 40 years of age and each has a family of three or four.............."

1999, Some family information from Olen Morris, Greene Co., VA.

Email from Gina Morris Gibson Sep. 12, 2005
A tidbit of info you don't appear to have. This is from Ancestry.com

Enlisted as a Private on 12 July 1861 in Company H, 57th Infantry Regiment Virginia, Transfered in Company I, 2nd Light Artillery Regiment Virginia on 12 December 1861.

According to oral family history, Sowers Morris went AWOL at some point during the Civil War and was hiding in a cupboard when soldiers came looking for him. One of his children tried to tell the soldiers where he was, but the child was too young for the soldiers to understand what he was saying. They never realized the young child was revealing the place where their father was hid. The child was probably Rebecca as she is the only child that would fit the age requirement for that time.

Sowers Morris walked using 2 sticks. I think you can see that in the photo of him I sent a few months ago.

Sowers married Artamesia (Artemitin; Milp; Missie) Roach, daughter of Calus Archibald (Killis) Roach and Elizabeth (Betsy) Shifflett, on 10 Aug 1850 in Greene Co., VA. Artamesia was born about 1833 in VA and died about 1902 about age 69.

On a different note. Talmadge Shifflett and I have been talking, and we think perhaps the Artimitin Shifflett that m. Sowers Morris (s/o Jeremiah Morris and Mildred Peachy Shifflett) could be the d/o Calus Roach and Elizabeth Shifflett. On the marriage bond her name is Shifflett, but older family members insisted she was a Roach. In the obit. of James "Hustin" Morris m. Ella Florence (Fannie) Morris (d/o Alfred Morris and Margaret Conley) the mother is Mitzi Roach and the father is Sowers Morris.

George Wesley Shifflett who m. Julia Helen Morris (d/o James "Hustin" and Ella Florence Morris) said he thought they said her daddy was Killis Roach. But she was definitely a Roach - she won't no Shifflett. Julia said the same thing as did Annie Morris (m. Whit Crawford) another daughter of James "Hustin" Morris.

George Shifflett <MRamius@aol.com>
Artimissa had a brother Archibald who went by Shiflett until he married a Conley woman and then he changed his name to Roach. Artimissa had a sister Mary aka Polly who married Peals Shifflett and then she went by Roach after her marriage [Mary and Polly are one and the same]. Artimissa aka Artimiten on Elizabeth Shifflett and Calus Roach's chart is the third child who married as a Shifflett and then went by Roach after marriage. I have not found a marriage of Elizabeth and Calus so if not married, the children can use whatever name they want.

George Shifflett <MRamius@aol.com>
I decided to get into Morrises because my 2d Greatgrandparents were Burton Morris and Samantha Frazier. As for the Roaches, Elizabeth Shiflett, concubine to Calus, is kin to me somewhere along the way so I decided to look into them. One of my Aunts married the greatgrandson of Polly Roach and Peals Shiflett. That's when I found out that Polly Shiflett who married Peals was the daughter of Calus and Elizabeth. I was also told that Burton Morris had a brother who married a sister of Polly and she was named Missa. Then I realized that Artimetin and Artemissa were the same person especially when the ages matched. I had never seen that obit listing Mitzi or Mitzt Roach as the mother of James Houston until I saw it on your yahoo site. So the only info I have is what I was told by relatives. There was another person who knew but she passed away several years ago. She was Julia Helen Morris d/o of Houston and Ella Florence Morris. She married Greatuncle William Taft aka Bawsley Shifflett. When I talked to her at the 2001 reunion in Grottoes, she said none of her children knew. That's why I held on to this information for about 5 years. Looking at the censuses you provided which were taken 6 days apart proves that within a span of six days she moved from her parents house and became the wife of Sowers Morris. You can count on this information!


Children from this marriage of Sowers Morris and Artamesia (Artemitin; Milp; Missie) Roach were:

Mrs. Caroline Morris (nee Roach) departed this life Friday, July 19, 1929, at the age of 70 years. She was the daughter of the late Archibald and Drucilla Roach, of Rockingham County. She was a woman that was admired and loved by all who knew her. Her funeral was conducted by Rev. W. Roy Mason, her rector, at the mission church on Simmons Gap, where she lived, in the presence of a large congregation of her neighbors, relatives, and friends, who had came to pay this last tribute of respect to their neighbor and friend. Mrs. Morris will be sadly missed by her community, where she had done so many deeds of kindness. She leaves to mourn her loss her husband, Mr. Smith Morris, who will miss her the most. No one can take the place of a wife or mother in the home. Mrs. Morris had three children, Zeddie, Hezzie, and Emanuel, all of which live in that community. She had three brothers, Charlie Roach of Lydia, and John and Scott Roach of Swift Run, and two sisters living, Melvina Shifflett, of Swift Run, and Elizabeth Shifflett of the Island Ford Community.

Email from Laban West, Oct. 31, 2005, (landswest@yahoo.com)
Did I ever tell you what my cousin in Gordonsville told me on several
occasions. She is about 80 yrs old. When young, she spent a lot of time visiting her Grandma Ella Shifflett who lived up the hollow not far from the old Herring place where Barbara lived. This would have been after old man George died. (I'm talking about the W side of the mountain). Anyway my cousin said that many times late in the evening they would hear Huston Morris heading from the Herring place back up the Simmons Gap Road singing "O Lord, you know, I have no friend like you". Evidently the way he was singing... they knew he had had too much to drink. Laban

Robert and Amanda divorced Nov. 14, 1908. The did not have any children

Info from Gina Gibson <onemom22boys@juno.com>
The birthdays of Amanda Herring's children came from a small black notebook Amanda kept. Amanda's death date was written in the notebook after her death by Barbara Herring Moneymaker, Amanda's daughter. The notebook is currently in the possession of Herman Morris, Amanda's youngest son.

After Amanda's death, according to my dad and Cora Morris (now deceased d/o James Hustin Morris and Florence Ella), Lucy, Robert, Dennis, and Herman went to live with James Hustin and Ella Florence (Fannie) Morris. The 4 older children, Margaret, Nellie, Grace, and Barbara Herring Moneymaker, had been taken earlier by the state and somehow the Mission Home was involved in the breakup of the family. Barbara Herring Moneymaker told the Simmons Gap Mission Home something about Amanda's family and there was a court hearing in Rockingham Count resulting in the 4 older children being removed from their home. James Hustin Morris said that Barbara Herring lied to the Mission Home and in court. Barbara told me she didn't know why the state took them away from "Mother".

James Hustin and Ella Florence did not keep Robert and Lucy for very long. They were given to Barbara Herring and her husband, Henry Moneymaker to raise. When Lucy and Robert started to school, Barbara gave their last name as Lawson. The family chart shows 2 of the children as Lawsons and since James Hustin Morris and Ella Florence raised Herman, he went by the name Morris. The rest of the children went by Herring. As an adult, Dennis legally changed his name to Herall. No one seems to know why. No one in the family has heard from Dennis since the early 50s, the last time he was in Charlottesville, VA, at the home of Henry and Barbara Herring Moneymaker. At the time he was living in Texas and had married a girl of Hispanic descent. He told family members the next time they saw him he would be driving a Cadillac. The family said they guessed he was still trying to "buy that cadillac".

On the MR of Scott Shiflet to Fanny Morris, the father is listed as Albert Crawford:

In the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia At Richmond Shiflett et als. v. Commonwealth From the Circuit Court of Greene County. The Case Stated: This is an indictment against Daniel Morris, Scott Crawford, Richard Morris, and Ahaz Shiflett, by the grand jurors of Greene county, found at the March term, 1892, of the County Court for unlawfully and wilfully distrurbing religious worship at Mount Union, a Christian church in said county. The indictment will be found on page 4 of the record; the summons upon the same page, and the sheriff®s return on page 5

On May 12, 1892, the court, as allowed by sections 3999 and 4012, entered the following order: "It appearing to the court that the indictment in the above cause contains a misnomer in this, that Scott Shiflett in said indictment is called Scott Crawford, by which last name he is commonly known, but his true name is Scott Shiflet--it is therefore ordered that the indictment in said cause be amended by striking out the name of Scott Crawford, and in its place and stead the name of Scott Shiflett alias Scott Crawford be inserted, which is accordingly done. The defendants failed to appear after being duly summoned, and the court ordered the trial to proceed. They were found gulty of the offence charged in the indictment, judgment entered, and, on motion of the attorney for the Commonwealth, "capias" was awarded, appeal was taken to the Circuit Court and the judgment affirmed, except as to the defendant Richard Morris; but as to said Morris, the judgment of the County Court was reversed and annulled.

Beverly Morris was born May 8, 1862 and died Jan. 28, 1950 and is buried at St. Davis Mission. He lived in the Sullivan Area. He married Franky Crawford on November 11, 1891 (Greene County, VA.) Beverly was the son of Burton Morris and Samatha Frazier. My question is where is Davis Mission located? I have an Obituary for Beverly Morris but its in a box of obits that I have collected thru the years and I had it a couple of weeks ago and now can not find it, but I will. Burton Morris has a will at Greene which names Beverly as his son, Book 3, page 62. Burton Morris was the son of Jeremiah and Peachy Shifflett Morris. Jeremiah was the son of Ika and Elizabeth Morris. If you do not agree or see it this way, please let me know . Thanks again. Barbara

I copied this obit. for Bev (Beverly) Morris who died in 1950 out of the Greene County Record. His funeral was conducted from St. David's Mission by the Rev. Geo. Fiske. Interment was in the church cemetery at Mission Home. Beverly Morris was the son of Burton & Samatha Frazier Morris and was married to Frankey Crawford. I talked to his grandson Naymon Morris who lives near Mission Home last week. He said that he did not know where he was buried. He told me that he and his wife had around 21 children but his obit only named eight children. He said a lot of the children died young. We were over to the Mission Home Cemetery last week, and I found Alfred & Louise Morris graves. Thanks. However, I did not see any stone for Bev. Morris. Thanks for all of your help. Barbara

Had 21-22, children.

Received $7,166.00 when Park purchased land

Swift Run, Va, Dec. 2, 1935 (CHIEF CLERK, Department of the Interior - Dec. 5, 1935)
President Roosevelt, White House, Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. Roosevelt,
My wife and I are writing to you to ask your help in our great trouble. There are three hundred and twenty-five acres in my track of land by their own survey. I found it on the park map and they refused to pay me for it. I bought this land in four different tracts and there were boundage deeds. And they would not pay me for but one hundred and ninety acres. I wrote to them and they raised it to two hundred and seventy acres. But they did not give me any more money per acre. Do you think that this is right or just? Last Friday we were ordered by authorities to be out by December 6. When we have never taken the money for our land because they would not agree to pay for the acres that were short. Our land is good grazing, good crop and good timber land. We feel this is so unjust and unfair so we have never taken the money that has been offered us by the Park people, hope that we will get justice for our land. It is just impossible for me to get my winter stored crops and stock out by December 6, and find a home to go to. I give them a price but never did get any answer. I am sixty-four years old and my eyes is bad. I can hardly recognize a distance a woman and a man apart. I more than appreciate if you could save my home if there is any thing you can do. Do it at once for I am here and no place to go. The office told us they were to move us out we ask him where. he said in the mud. you know how dear a home is when it is taken from us and we have no place to go to. We are pleading for help to save our land.
Yours Truly, Ambrose W. Shiflett"

Tombstone has a death date of Dec. 16, 1954. This is incorrect because the obit appeared in the Charlottesville Daily Progress on Dec. 15, 1954 and gave a death date as Tues., Dec. 14, 1954. I don't think they printed his obit a day before he died.

Known children of Almond Bruce and Sarah J. Powell
1) George W. - 11 Nov. 1863- 27 Sept 1951

2) William H. Bruce - married Emma B. Koiner, Augusta Co., VA, - I copied date of 10 June 1890 but I am not sure via my notes whether that is the license or ceremony date. William's age listed as 22-7-5, born in Albemarle Co. Emma age 27-7-6, daughter of Tollarns and Nancy M. C. Koiner. No other info. on him.

3) I am assuming that Sallie and Cordelia are the same (as indicated by children listed in 1870 and 1880 Census I have in my notes the birthdate of 30 May 1870 and marriage to a Powell - unfortunately I did not cite the source on that data.

4) Percival - born April 1875 (census record). Married Bertha, surname unknown circa 1899. Found in 1900 Census in Albemarle Co. with Bertha, born May 1880.
1910 Census, Albemarle, listed as Pierce, found with Bertha and daughter Julia, age 7 No other info

Known children of Almond and VA. Caroline Sprinkle Bruce
1). John L. - Confusion here as my notes indicate the 1880 Census lists an unnamed daughter, age 11/12, born August, no child of this age found in the family in the 1900 Census, and then in the 1910 Census, John L., son age 31. Notes list his birthdate as 7 August 1880. - but 1910 Census would indicate an 1879 birthdate. For the time being, I have assumed that the unnamed child in the 1880 Census was John and the census taker just got the gender wrong. Notes indicate date of death as 1 Sept. 1960. Married circa 1909 to Fannie, born circa 1878, surname unknown.

2) Robert - born Feb. 1881, married Mollie M., surname unknown, circa 1907. One child, Almond M., age 1, listed with the family in Albemarle 1910 Census.

Buried Old Forge Church, Grottoes, Rockingham Co., VA. I have not located the name of the book that had the Old Forge records - I'm still looking! But my notes indicated author was Klein.

Had at least 10 children. Note on children of Richard and Elsie.

- Francis Claude - some confusion here. Located in 1910 Census as Claude, in 1920 there is a Francis C. and I have made the assumption that these two are the same. However, the records of St. Stephen's indicate baptism of a Claudia Rossevelt Bruce, child of Richard and Elise, baptized 1909, no date of birth.
- Irwin is listed as Irvin in the St. Stephen's records.
- Joseph is only listed in the Stl. Stephen's records - and my confusion is that the
date of birth is May 1910 and baptized in 1911 - so he should be aliive and with the
family in the 1910 Census, but is not found in either 1910 or 1920. Another mystery.
- On the other hand, Dillard is only found in the 1910 Census, age 3, and not found in the St. Stephen's records or 1920 Census with family. So I don't know if Joseph and Dillard are the same children, or the census taker overlooked some children, or at the time of the census one of the children was staying with relatives or they died.

Richard married Elizabeth B. (Elsie) Breeden, daughter of John A. Breeden and Delila Lily Leap, on 17 Feb 1897 in Lewistown, VA. Elizabeth was born on 6 Jul 1879 in Page Co., VA, died on 11 Nov 1966 in Rockingham Co., VA at age 87, and was buried in Old Forge Church, Grottoes, Rockingham Co., VA.

General Notes for Larkin Goodman (Turkey) Bruce
1850 Greene Co., VA, Census, Son of Louden B. & Lina Bruce, age 9
1860 Greene Co., VA, Census, Child, age 18

1850 and 1860 Census list him as Goodman Bruce - a name he did not use as an adult.

Married Polly Ann Shifflet circa 1862 - no marriage record found as of yet.

Served in the Confederate Army - a checkered military career at best. According to his pension request, he served in Co. C 10th VA. Reg., and was wounded at Chancelorsville. Larkin did receive a county pension, as did his widow in 1934. But the records of the 10th indicate Larkin was AWOL and a deserter. So who knows.

1870 Census found in Greene Co., VA., age 33, with Polly and children Texas A., Jane B.,and Reuben D.

1880 Census in Augusta Co., VA. - Larkin, wife Mary A., and children Texas Ann, Jane, Reuben Davis, Layton Early, Londoun/Londown, Mary B. and unnamed female born in April

7 March 1894 - Larkin Bruce of Brown's Cove, Albemarle makes an application for a County pension for Confederate service which wa approved.

1900 back in Augusta Co. -- Larkin, Polly Anne (born Aug. 1844), Lucie L, Ida, Simpson, Walker, and married daughter Mary and her family.

1910 Albemarle Co., VA, Census, Blackwells Pct, ED15, Family 134, H of HH, Larkin Bruce, age 66,
1910 has moved to Albemarle Co. - Polly has died, Larkin living with son Simpson and daughter-in-law, listed as Ruth and daughter Ida

11 March 1911 - Larkin petitions to be rerated as totally disabled

1 April 1912 Larkin remarries to Alice Shifflet, age 30, widowed. Ceremony takes place in Staunton. As Alice identiifies herself in later records as Alice Lewis Bruce - and has a daughter with the last name of Lewis - so I am assuming that Shifflet was her maiden name and Lewis her first married name.

In April 1924, Larkin is mentioned as a witness in the pension application of sister-in-law Virginia Caroline Bruce (widow of Almond) as "recently paralized and his mind is in bad shape"

Died 16 Aug. 1824 in White Hall Albemarle Co., VA. - death cert. lists name of father as Brightberry Bruce. Buried in Brown's Cove.

1996, The following information on this family from Mr. Preston Leake, Hopewell, VA., e-mail: phlathome@juno.com

Regarding Goodman Larkin Bruce's wife, I have not confirmed this, but I think her parents were Gatewood and Lucinda Shiflett. Goodman and Polly were married on 7 Mar 1862, but again, I have not confirmed the date.

LARKIN BRUCE - My husband's great-great-grandfather

Born in Greene Co., VA. -again there are various dates listed for his birth. 1850 Census lists age 9, 1860 lists 18, 1870 lists 33, in 1880 he's 39, by 1900 his date of birth is Aug. 1836, in 1910 he's 66, two years later when he remarries he's 72, and at the time of death in Aug. 1924 he is 85.

Larkin married Mary (Polly) Ann Shiflett, daughter of Gatewood Shiflett and Lucinda (Lucy) Snow, on 7 Mar 1862 in Greene Co., VA. Mary was born in 1842 in Greene Co., VA and died on 6 Jan 1902 in Harriston, Augusta Co., VA at age 60.

1998, Bruce Information from Ms. Barbara (Smith) Bruce of Richmond, VA., <bjsmith461@aol.com>
- POLLY ANN SHIFFLET - I know the Shifflet genealogy lists two children for Haisten and Lydia Shifflet - a Mary and a Polly in 1845 and 1844. As Polly is a nickname for Mary, and my Polly was also listed in one of the census records as Mary A., I have made the assumption that they are the same person. Any thoughts?
- born Aug. 1844
- 1880 Census Mary A., age 35
- 1900 census Polly Anne, born Aug. 1844, married 38 years
- 1910 census Larkin listed as widow, "married for 40 years" - I am making the assumption that Polly therefore died around 1902 but have no proof of this.


Children from this marriage of Larkin Goodman (Turkey) Bruce and Mary (Polly) Ann Shiflett were:

Bob:
This confirms to me that some of descendants of Mahulda thought Dosh Garrison was the father of her children (or at least some of them). The person Minerva's and Thomas' obituaries are referring to is Francis Marion "Dosh" Garrison, husband of Tex Ann Bruce. One of the stories I heard from a descendant of Dosh and Tex is that Dosh actually provided for (at least some of) these children and that Tex Ann once shot at Mahulda when she was supposedly on Dosh's farm to meet Dosh to get supplies for the children. Whether Tex shot at Mahulda because she thought she was fooling around with her man or because she thought Mahulda was a liar just taking bread off her table is another question. I have a friend that has the words to a song that someone in the family wrote about the feud. I don't doubt that Dosh thought he was the father of the children. I don't know why the obit says "Dorsey" Garrison. It could be another misspelling of Dosh. I have seen the name as Dash, Dashe, Dosh, Doshe, Dorshe and now Dorsey. I always wondered if Dosh was a misrepresentation of a real family surname, but I could never find one connected to the Garrison or Taylor families that even came close.

The descendants of Ashby Garrison, I believe, claimed that John Shifflett was the father of Mahulda's children. But he didn't marry her until after the birth of all her children. So, I have been told two conflicting stories and there is really no way of knowing the truth, short of a DNA test. There is always the possibility there are several different fathers of her children. None of the children's names indicate any Garrison link.

Some of the descendants of Dosh Garrison wanted me to include the descendants of Mahulda as his definite descendants in my book. I would have, if I had gotten any kind of confirmation from her descendants that they actually are his descendants, or wanted to be claimed as such. But it seems to be a very sore subject, and some of the descendants are adamant John Shifflett is the father of Mahulda's children. Since I have run across other cases of the mother naming a father for the children that is not the real father, I am not so inclined to believe them without some kind of verification. So, I made a notation that descendants of Dosh Garrison have said that some or all of Mahulda's children are his children but some descendants of Mahulda have said that John Shifflett i

It looks like, from these two obituaries, that Minerva and Thomas Frazier's descendants were confused as well. I believe they're trying to name Dosh Garrison in both obituaries as the father, but whether is it true, is anyone's guess. No one can know whether Mahulda was trying to protect the father of her children from trouble by not naming the right person, whether she actually did name the right father, whether she knew there were different possibilities as to who the father might be and may have told family members it was an either/or situation, or whether the descendants were confused. It's interesting how Minerva's obit makes her parents look as though they were married and doesn't call her mother Mahulda. Looks like maybe a little attempt at subterfuge. However, the one thing I can definitely tell you is that in the obituaries they are referring to Francis Marion "Dosh" Garrison who was married to Tex Ann Bruce.

One other thing I can tell you is that this dilemma is also one of those family "hornet nests." Some members of both the Garrison and Frazier families get really angry when you bring it up.

Do you have any contact with any of the descendants of John Shifflett from his other marriages? I would be interested to know whether they think they are related to Mahulda's children. If they didn't, I'd be more inclined to believe Dosh was the father. Have you ever found Mahulda on any census before 1930? I can never find mothers with illegitimate children on the census.

Brown's Cove Woman Picks And Sings Folk
Ballads Of The Good 'Ol Mountain Varity
By Boyce Loving
What passes for mountain ballads when country musicians twang out the accompaniments on guitars, fiddles and banjos and whine out the words nasally often is the composition of some tunesmith and lyricist in Nashville, Tenn., capital of this country's hillbilly arias.
Mrs. Mary Bird McAllister of Brown's Cove, however, is not such a mountain musician. To begin with, she sings principally the ballads she learned from a musician brother and other mountain folk. She also is said to employ the true tones of ballad music. And her voice is neither nasal nor twangy.
Mrs. McAllister, who is 80 years old April 7 of this year, was born in the house in which she now lives. She stays with a cousin, Mrs. Alton Yates, although the elderly singer has not always lived in her present residence. The daughter of Larkin Bruce, she married Lem McAllister and lived at Harriston, Augusta County, and at Grottos, Rockingham County, until her return to her old home for or five years ago. Her husband died in June, 1951, she said she had never been far from home and visited Charlottesville only when she was a patient at the University Hospital to have cataracts removed from her eyes eight or 10 years ago
How did Mrs. McAllister learn to play the Banjo? She said her brother, Grant, owned and played a banjo and when he was away from home she would "borrow" his instrument and thus taught herself to play it. She also took a wooden hoop, attached a stiff piece of cardboard to it for a head (or skin), her brother fashioned a neck with keys for her out of a piece of wood and she waxed cotton string for the strings. She stated that when she fitted the homemade instrument with a bridge she could play it as well as her brother's "store boughten" banjo. She started playing at the age of 10, she explained.
The octogenarian mountain musician recalled the days when apple butter "stewings", or bilings ", and corn shuckings were social events of her community. Both events, she said, were followed by square dances at which fiddlers, banjo and guitar players furnished the music. Mrs. McAllister plays many of the traditional ballad tunes heard at these neighborhood gatherings.
Teasingly the writer asked Mrs. McAllister if she ever smoked a clay pipe. "No," she replied, "but I used to chew tobacco." She explained that she would get thirsty when she accompanied her father into the mountains to pick huckleberries and that he started giving her a small piece of his chewing tobacco to allay her thirst. From that she picked up the habit and used to "borrow" a chew of tobacco now and then from the pockets of her brothers. She said she also used to take an occasional "nip" of mountain dew, produced in abundance in her community when she was a girl. She gave up chewing and nipping when she joined the Pentecostal Church, which forbids both indulgences, she was quick to explain.
Mrs. McAllister's fingers are extremely nimble for one her age and it is fascinating to watch her strum the banjo, patting her foot in time as she plays and sings in a pleasantly low voice. Occasionally, she forgets some of the words of the songs, but Paul Worthington, a student and collector of folk music, has made tape recordings of more that 50 ballads sung by the elderly woman to her own accompaniment. The recordings have been copied by the music division of the Library of Congress and will be preserved for future generations.
Worthington, who plays the guitar and sings many ballads and folk songs, is restoring a log cabin up the mountains a bit from the house in which Mrs. McAllister lives. He said there is evidence that his cabin may be a portion of the original "Trinidad", first of the Brown homes in Brown's Cove. The house in which Mrs. McAllister lives, mainly built of logs, was the overseer's house at "Headquarters" another of the early Brown residences. "Headquarters" several years ago was purchased from the Bruce family, owners for nearly 100 years, by Mr. and Mrs. George H. Scott of Fredericksburg, who have almost completed restoration of the house where the state papers of Virginia are said to have been concealed when Tarleton came to Charlottesville to try to capture Jefferson and members of the Virginia General Assembly.
The Brown's Cove singer said her father fought in the Civil War. Asked how many Yankees he killed, she said, "Nary a one", adding that they didn't kill any of him, either, although he did suffer an injury while away from home in the war.
Mrs. McAllister is the mother of eight children only two of whom are living - Charles of Grottoes and Mrs. Mary Grimm, RFD 1, Waynesboro. She also has two living brothers, Early of Peoria, Ill., and Simpson of Harriston.
One of Mrs. McAllister's sisters, Texas Ann, was a well-known folk dancer who died a short while ago. It will be seen, then, that her musical skill is a family trait. She also plays the accordion but does not own one.
A Lively one for her 80 years, Mrs. McAllister said the men "are as pretty as ever and the girls are still good-looking." She added that she yet may marry a rich husband and have all of this world's goods she desires.
About two weeks ago Mrs. McAllister and Paul Worthington played and sang ballads at a "finger dinner" given at "Headquarters" by Mrs. John N. Stearns, 1930 Barracks Rd., and Mrs. Scott. Mrs. Stearns and Mrs. Scott are sisters, both descendants of the Browns who gave their name to the Cove. Worthington and Mrs. McAllister were supplemented by Dr. Arthur Kyle Davis, University of Virginia professor of English and mountain ballad anthologist, who played an auto harp and sang several of the traditional Scottish highland ballads.
One of the songs Mrs. McAllister sang should be of special interest in this area. It is Blackwell's Hollow", a community near White Hall. The words follow:

"I'm going away and you're going to follow;
I'm going down to Blackwell's Hollow, baby.

All round the mountain looks so cold,
Can't make a dollar to save my soul, baby.
Going to sit in the parlor with a fan,

Tell, Joanna I'm a ladies man, baby
Shootin' a rabbit ain't no sin,
I'm a-goin' to shoot one whenever I can, baby.

What you going to do when the cold wind blows, baby?
What you going to do when the cold winds blow, baby?
What you going to do when the cold winds blow, baby?

I'm going away and you're going to follow;
I'm going back to Blackwell's Hollow, Baby."

This is not an exact reproduction of the ballad, but it is as close as the writer was able to copy it when Mrs. McAllister played and sang it.
It is fortunate, that in these days, when new things seem to attract more than the old, there has been found a representative of the old school of mountain music, much of which was transported bodily and intact from Scotland by the Virginia settlers. It is this same traditional music and words, some of the lyrics of which are to be found in Percy's "Reliques of Ancient English Poetry", that Mrs. McAllister has learned by heart and has preserved until Balladeer Worthington captured them on tape recordings. Both are to be congratulated for their contributions to Virginiana and the preservation of the ballad.
Some of the songs Mrs. McAllister sings, of course, had their origin in the early days of the Virginia colony and are as genuine ballads as those brought over from the "old country" -they grew out of local situations; their authors are unknown; their tone usually is elegiac; they are ballads in meter form; and otherwise they confirm to this type of folk music and song.

Getting on to Simpson Bruce.......Someone who knew the family told me that he also married a Minnie West b. 1908, d/o William Noah West and Minnie Shifflett. From that union, Joyce and Frances were born. This came from William's daughter before she died. Another lady said she went to school with these two girls and they are now around 65-68 y.o. They were not listed as half sisters in James' obit. Supposedly William Noah West and Minnie Shifflett moved to PA about 70 years ago. They died there, but a daughter of theirs, Anna West Myers moved back to R'ham with her family.

Henrietta is listed as 4 years old on the 1880 census which puts her birth about 1876 which is 8 or 9 years younger. I don't know what to make of this except maybe that was another Heneritta that died and then the second was born in 1884. Wish I could find this family on the 1900 census.

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.

To: jcrosstx@charter.net (Julie Crosswell)
CC: LFSOFVA@aol.com (Larry Shiflett), EPOWELL555@aol.com (Eugene Powell), bklein26@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 voiced their opinion if they so desired.

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 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

Comments: Nancy J. Shiflett was born May 1848, daughter of Adam Lincus (Lineas) Shiflett, born 1823, married 17 December, 1844, Cally (Caroline) Shiflett, daughter of Overton and Sally Herring Shiflett. The marriage licenses and/or death records of her children show four different fathers of her children: (Merry) Augustus Shiflett, Henry B. Shiflett, Conway Shiflett and Jessie Lawson (Jesse or J.L). Augustus Shiflett, born January, 1838, was the son of Ahas and Ginsay Shiflett; Henry B. Shiflett, born April, 1852, Albemarle County (8 years old in 1860 census), died 1925 West Virginia, was the son of Calvin and Elizabeth Herrin (Herring) Shiflett; Conway Shiflett, born 2 June, 1840, died 9 February, 1917, was the son of Burton Shiflett and Nancy E. Frazier; Jesse Lawson, born about 1847, Rockingham County, died 26 July, 1903, Albemarle County, son of Theophilus (Anful) and Margaret Caroline Herring Lawson.

Nancy is listed as single and Head of the Household in the 1880 White Hall District, Albemarle County Census. Children listed in the 1880 census are Adam, Sallie B., Eddie, Conway and Sara B. In the 1900 Census she is listed as Head of the Household, Widowed, with 7 of 8 children living and living 5 houses from Henry1s brother, Charles P. and his wife, Sarah Walton Shiflett. Children in the 1900 census are Edward, Conway, Lucy Ann, Rosa Lee and Ida Jane. In 1910 Nancy lived five houses from Charles P. and Sarah Walton Shiflett. In the 1910 Census Nancy is listed as Head of Household, Widowed, with 7 of 7 children living. Children in the 1910 census are Ida Jane and Nancy1s granddaughter Maggie, daughter of Rosa Shiflett. According to a granddaughter of Nancy she is buried at Mount Moriah United Methodist Church, White Hall, Albemarle County with no marker. Although Nancy is listed as widowed in 1910 census, no records can be found that she was ever married. Based on the information from the Nancy1s children marriage licenses, death records and other sources listed, Nancy had the following children by the fathers listed.

Nancy married Henry Benson Shiflett, son of Calvin (Calvary) Shiflett and Elizabeth (Herring) Shiflett, Henry was born on 16 Jul 1853 in Albemarle Co., VA, died on 13 Sep 1931 in Kanawha Co., WV at age 78, and was buried in Ward Cemetery, Cedar Grove, Kanawha Co., WV. The cause of his death was Cancer of the Stomach.

Much of the information on the Family of Henry Benson Shiflett and Martha Walton was provided by Neva Adams <donandneva@juno.com>

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.

Obituary From The Daily Progress, Charlottesville, VA, Jun. 18, 1953
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"

15 Jan 2000, From LFSOFVA (Larry Shifflett)
The newspaper story regarding the shooting of Jesse Lawson still intrigues me. The "Burrus" Shifflett could easily be George Burrus Shiflett, son of Charles P. and Sarah Walton Shiflett, grandson of Calvin and Elizabeth. Also, if Adam Lincus is off of Overton, then I think there could be a connection to Nancy. Notice that "Lawson and Shifflett had a had a quarrel, and it was over a woman." My instincts tell me that there is a connection here that could be followed up by seeing if there is more info in the Albe. newspaper or at the CH regading the murder, which apparently took place in Albemarle. Even Sanford Davis shot ole Jesse once, Overton Shiflett shot him once, and Burrus shot him three times - what a character!

Rockingham Register, July 31, 1903
"MOUNTAIN TRAGEDY - Jesse Lawson Shot and Killed by Burrus Shifflett - Bloody End of Bitter Feud:
News was received have Tuesday of the murder of Jesse Lawson, which was committed in Shifflett's Hollow, in the Albemarle county, not far from the Greene county line, Sunday night. It was stated that Burrus Shifflett fired the fatal shot, and he is now a fugitive from justice. The details of the killing reached Harrisonburg through the Swift Run Gap people who had come to town as witnesses and interested parties in the Richards vs. Morris case, and they constitute a tale of mountaineer enmity and hatred worthy of the darkest regions of Kentucky and West Virginia. It started with a woman in the case. Several years ago Lawson and Shifflett had a quarrel, and it was over a woman. Shifflett swore he would not die until he had laid low the man he hated. A year or two afterward Lawson was arraigned in the courts charged with burning a barn. He was given two years in the penitentiary on the oath of Shifflett. He returned from Richmond, declaring to his friends that he had served his time as a innocent man, which was afterwards proven to be true. A second time Shifflett's vengeance overtook him this time in the shape of a load of buckshot, which, however did not prove fatal. Shifflett disappeared and became a virtual outlaw for a long time. About a year ago he made his appearance again and shot Lawson a second time, with a like result. He was a fugitive from justice again until last week, when he came back into the Shifflett's Hollow country and in the presence of Lawson repeated his oath that he would kill him yet. Sunday night he made good his threat. Lawson had gone out of the house about 9 0'clock and on returning the fatal load of eight buckshot was fired into him. He lived for about an hour after he was shot. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon, which prevented his brother from attending the Richards-Morris trial. The country around the scene of the murder is one of the wildest in the Blue Ridge and Shifflett has so far eluded the pursuit of the law if, indeed, any effort has been made to apprehend him.
Lawson's life was an eventful one. He had been shot five times - three times by Burrus Shifflett, once by Overton Shifflett, and once by Sanford Davis. He is said to have been a man of great physical courage, and that fear was a stranger to his composition. As Burton Morris put it, and Burton knew him intimately for many years, he was a man naturally of a peaceable disposition, but had been made desperate by stress of circumstances. Shifflett has the reputation of being one of the most desperate men whose names are linked with the criminal history of Shifflett Hollow.

Talked to Chestley today and he advised that Burruss Shiflett was never tried for the murder. Based on the news article below, law enforcement officers either were not interested in solving these crimes or was afraid to go into these two hollows, I suspect the latter. Chesley also confirmed that Jesse is buried at Prize Hill Cemetery. Norm

From The Daily Progress, Saturday, 1 Aug 1903:

NOT IN SHIFLETT HOLLOW
CORRESPONDENT SAYS THAT CRIME WAS COMMITTED
IN BLACKWELL HOLLOW
Former Place Not as bad as it is Represented
Neglect of Church and State Largely
to Blame For the Conditions - No
Educational Advantages

Commenting on the murder of Jesse Lawson, this county, on Sunday, night last, a correspondent at Crozet write as follows: Last Sunday night in Blackwell Hollow a horrible crime was committed. One Jesse Lawson was shot by one supposed to be Burruss Shifflett. As I was near the scene of the murder from the time it was committed until the victim was buried, heard the matter discussed pro and con by the people of that section, I wish through your column of your newspaper to clear up, if possible, a few mistaken ideas on the part of people outside concerning that section, and to offer a few suggestions as to how I think such a horrible crime can be stopped and the fair name of Albemarle County, saved the disgrace of such shocking conduct.
The murder has been placed upon Shifflett's Hollow when as matter of fact it took place in Blackwell's Hollow about two miles from Shifflett's. That entire section of county has been considered by people living outside as one in which the life of a stranger would not be safe. Shifflett's Hollow has been a synonym for a murder and all manner of outlawry. It has been use indiscriminately to describe a large a large part of the county which has no more to do with Shifflett's Hollow (Greene County), than it has to do with Charlottesville. I have been all through that section, generally known as Shifflett's Hollow, and now know personally most of the people. I have always been courteously and kindly received, and nowhere have I found a more abundant supply of human kindness. In my dealings with them, both in social and business matters, I have found them at heart very much like other people - some good, peaceful, and honest citizens, other bad, rowdy and dishonest. The isolated condition of the county and the rugged environment offer a splendid field for the outlaw, but comparing the crime committed in Blackwell's Hollow with those in our capital city, I would feel very much safer in the wildest part of Blackwell's or Shifflett's Hollow than on the streets of Richmond in full view of all that betakens refinement and civilization.
There are many people in the neighborhood where Lawson was shot who deplore such lawless conduct and fell most keenly the disgrace it brings upon their section. They would like to see the culprit caught and tried by due process of law. Now is such crimes are to be stopped, the State should put forth every effort to catch the criminal whoever he may be. Burress Shifflett was suspected from the moment of the murder was committed and upon sufficient circumstantial evidence to cause his arrest, and yet no effort was made to take him. If the law is not enforced then the criminal is allowed to go free, there will very likely be no end to trouble. Lawson, though a bad character, has many friends and sympathizers, sad the treacherous way in which he was murdered has turned public feeling very much in his favor and against Shifflett. If the proper constituted authorities do not act promptly and decisively these friend and sympathizers of Lawson may attempt, in their own way, to avenge the murder. So the feud will grow, and Virginia will have a little Hatfield and McCoy tragedy enacted on her own stage. Neglect to enforce the law in the first instance is what gives occasion to the mountain feuds and a continued neglect to enforce the law fosters and encourages them after they have once started.
So long as the murderer is free there will be more bloodshed. Now I do not mean to reflect upon our own county officials for I do not know what they have done or doing in this case, but I wish to urge upon them, and all other citizens who are anxious to maintain law and order, the importance of capturing the criminal, taking him out of the community and is the name of the Commonwealth dealing with him as it is proven he deserves. It will never do to console ourselves with the thought that Lawson was a bad character and deserved the death he got and thus become indifferent in bringing his murderer to justice.

The last couple paragraphs were unreadable. I assume he writes about neglect of church in this area.


Children from this marriage of Jesse Lawson and Nancy J. Shiflett were:

   1075 F    i. Rosa Lee Shiflett was born in Jul 1884 in Albemarle Co., VA, died on 27 Jul 1923 at age 39, and was buried in Mooreland Baptist Church Cemetery, North Garden, Albemarle Co., VA. The cause of her death was Puerperal Sepsis (childbirth blood poisoning).

General Notes for Rosa Lee Shiflett
1900 Albemarle Co., VA, Census Daughter of Nancy Shiflett
1920 Albemarle Co., VA, Census, ED11, Family 185, Wife, age 65, seems to be a discrepancy in her age, maybe it is 35 but it sure looks like 65 to me which is definitely wrong

Rosa Lee Shiflett, born July, 1884, died 27 July, 1923, married 25 August, 1909, John P. Gibson, Widower, in Albemarle County. She was listed as a single at the time of her marriage. John was the son of William L. Gibson and Milly A. Gibson. John was 30 years old and Rosa was 23 when they got married in Albemarle County. The Certificate to obtain Marriage License listed Rosa's parents as Jesse L. and Nancy Shiflett. On Rosa's Certificate of Death, her father is listed as Jessie Lawson.

ADAM SHIFLETT
Adam Shiflett, a resident of Brown's Cove section, died at 7:30 o'clock last evening at his home. He was a native of Albemarle, son of the late Augustus and Nancy Shiflett, and was 74 years of age. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Mable Brown of Moxville, N.C. and Mrs. Mollie Shiflett of Rollar, VA, and three sons, George, Jesse and Andrew Shiflett of Mt. Fair, this county. He also leaves one brother and three sisters. The funeral will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from Prize Hill Church, at Boonesville, and interment will follow in the churchyard.

Larry,
This past Thursday I visited Adam L. granddaughter who confirmed that after Roberta's early death Adam married again to Rosa Breeden. They had no children and later separated and then divorced. According to the granddaughter Rosa moved to Texas and married a cowboy. One day she was reading a letter aloud from her sister at the breakfast table. Her sister had written that "everybody here (Virginia) still knew her". Her husband assume that this meant that she had a questionable background and shot and killed her. (We better choose our written words wisely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) That's all for now.
Norm

Sunday May 7, 2000, Dee and I were talking to Adam's granddaughter, Roberta Shiflett Garrison, she says she remembers when she was a little girl seeing Adam come over to the house carrying two poles of wood and peppermint candy sticks for her and her brothers and sisters. She enjoyed the picture of Adam sitting in a chair with his hat laying on the ground. Roberta said "Popa would always take his hat off and lay it on the ground or floor where he was sitting"



Adam married Roberta C. Lawson, daughter of Jesse Lawson and Irene Walton, on 13 Jan 1889 in Greene Co., VA. Roberta was born in 1869 in Greene Co., VA, died in 1900 in VA at age 31, and was buried in Prize Hill Cemetery, Boonesville, Albemarle Co., VA.

Adam L. Shiflett, white, single, age 22, born Albemarle, lives Albemarle, son of Nancy Shiflett; married Roberta C. Lawson, white, single, age 16, born Greene, lives Albemarle, daughter of Jesse & Irene. Place of marriage, near Nortonsville.

General Notes for Roberta C. Lawson

Buried next to Roberta and Adam there is a marker for an infant daughter 1900 (no name) so it is possible Roberta died during child birth.

Roberta's tombstone states she was born in 1869. She is not listed with her father's family or her mother's family in the 1870 census. In the 1880 census she is listed as 8 years old which puts her birth date about abt 1871. The birth date on her tombstone is probably wrong

Adam next married Rosa Breeden, daughter of Horatio Breeden and Ella Unknown, on 12 Feb 1903 in Albemarle Co., VA. Rosa was born about 1886.

Nancy next married John Conway Shifflett, son of Burton Shifflett and Nancy Elizabeth Frazier, before 1877. John was born on 2 Jun 1840 in VA, died on 9 Feb 1917 in Albemarle Co., VA at age 76, and was buried in Prize Hill Cemetery, Boonesville, Albemarle Co., VA.

Comments:
The person that called me from Vital Records, as I reported earlier by email, stated they Lucy was a twin. I inquired if the other twin was John Conway and she said no. As you can see the Birth Record states J.C. and L.A. are twins and that the Sex is Female for the twins, hence, the confusion. John Conway would probably be doing flips in his grave if he knew that he was listed as a female! As we know by birth and census records John and Lucy were born April, 1877. Somewhere along the line she got younger by 4 years or so! Same thing happens today. We also know that she was born in Greene County rather than Albemarle as listed on the Death Record. Please provide your thoughts on the Death Record that states that father is ? Shiflett, born Albemarle County. Was her father a Shiflett (Henry B.) since she named her first son Henry or was it Conway Shiflett, listed in John Conway marriage license as his father. I am still trying to find which county in Maryland that she married to see how her father was listed. Any idea who M. Frazier, name of informant at birth, may be? Norm

February 2000, From norm1394@gmail.com (Norman Addington);
Again the great grandson of Charles P. Shiflett stated that Sallie Belle and Eddie would talk about visiting their half brother/sister, Conway and Lucy Ann. This confirms that Lucy Ann and Eddie had a different father than Sallie and Eddie.

Lucy married someone

Lucy married Adam Keblinger Wyant Sr., son of William J. Wyant and Elizabeth P. Keblinger, before 1909 in MD. Adam was born on 2 Nov 1855 in VA, died on 21 Jan 1941 in Albemarle Co., VA at age 85, and was buried in Mt. Moriah Methodist Church Cemetery, White Hall, Albemarle Co., VA.

Funeral and burial rites for Adam Kebillinger Wyant Sr., were held yesterday morning at Mt. Moriah Methodist Church at White Hall, the service conducted by the Rev. W. E. Cooley. Active pallbearers were T. I, Haden, Earl Abell, W. D. Maupin, II., Harry Clarke, Thomas Wyant, II., and William Wyant, II. Honary pallbearers included I. J. Poats, W.

Adam was Post Master at White Hall, ran a store in which the Post Office was located, and was a farmer and orchardman. Her Obituary does not list her parents name. Since she is the twin of John Conway Shiflett then her father would also be Conway Shiflett. Again the great grandson of Charles P. Shiflett stated that Sallie Belle and Eddie would talk about visiting their half brother/sister, Conway and Lucy Ann. This confirms that Lucy Ann and Conway had a different father than Sallie and Eddie.

Received from Norm Addington norm@rtc.net

I talked to the daughter of Lucy and Adam K. Wyant tonight. She confirmed that Emma E. was the first wife of Adam. She was a Anderson from Nellysford, Nelson County. Emma and Adam had 9 children. She doesn't remember the names. She didn't know anything about Daisy. Looking at the dates I would believe that she could easily been the daughter of Eddie., Norm

JOHN BOSS SHIFLETT FOUND DEAD ON THE MOUNTAIN
John Boss Shiflett, a well-known citizen of Monroe district, was found dead Sunday evening [Jan. 31, 1926] near the Old Grocery on the mountain between Bacon and Shiflett Hollows. It was at first thought he had met with foul play. Sheriff Melone and Dr. Davis, coroner, were called up over the telephone soon after the discovery and asked to come to the scene. Both were sick. Therefore neither could go. The body was placed in charge of Deputy Sheriff Morris and Justice Killis Roach with instructions to investigate the cause of Mr. Shiflett's death. They found that he had not met with foul play, and that he had died from a natural cause. Mr. Shiflett when last seen alive appeared to be in good health. He, however, was subject to spells of and it is conjectured that while in one of these that the end came for him as he passed along the mountain path. He was buried at home and a large concourse attended, attesting his popularity. Note: The death date from tombstone is 2 days off from the article.

1999, Some family information from Olen Morris, Greene Co., VA.

Email from Gina Morris Gibson Sep. 12, 2005
A tidbit of info you don't appear to have. This is from Ancestry.com

Enlisted as a Private on 12 July 1861 in Company H, 57th Infantry Regiment Virginia, Transfered in Company I, 2nd Light Artillery Regiment Virginia on 12 December 1861.

According to oral family history, Sowers Morris went AWOL at some point during the Civil War and was hiding in a cupboard when soldiers came looking for him. One of his children tried to tell the soldiers where he was, but the child was too young for the soldiers to understand what he was saying. They never realized the young child was revealing the place where their father was hid. The child was probably Rebecca as she is the only child that would fit the age requirement for that time.

Sowers Morris walked using 2 sticks. I think you can see that in the photo of him I sent a few months ago.

In Greene county last Sunday Joe Emanuel Frazier became involved in a quarrel with Mrs. Hasty Jane Shiflett, his mother-in-law. Frazier clubbed her to death and is now in jail at Stanardsville.

Harrisonburg Rockingham Register, July 9, 1897, Page 2
From Beldor.
TUESDAY, July 6th,
Joe Frazier who, it is alleged, beat his mother-in-law, Mrs. Hasty Shiflet, from the effects of which she died, has not been apprehended. The offence was committed in this neighborhood, but Mrs. Shiflet was taken to Greene county, where she died. The inquest was held there and the coroner's jury rendered a verdict that her immediate death was caused by the clubbing received from one supposed to be Joe Frazier. Frazier denies having beaten her at all, and the only evidence against him is what she told before she died. The deed was done in this county, and we presume the case will be tried here, as the warrant for Frazier was sworn out in this county.

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

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), bklein26@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 voiced 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 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

ADAM SHIFLETT
Adam Shiflett, a resident of Brown's Cove section, died at 7:30 o'clock last evening at his home. He was a native of Albemarle, son of the late Augustus and Nancy Shiflett, and was 74 years of age. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Mable Brown of Moxville, N.C. and Mrs. Mollie Shiflett of Rollar, VA, and three sons, George, Jesse and Andrew Shiflett of Mt. Fair, this county. He also leaves one brother and three sisters. The funeral will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from Prize Hill Church, at Boonesville, and interment will follow in the churchyard.

Larry,
This past Thursday I visited Adam L. granddaughter who confirmed that after Roberta's early death Adam married again to Rosa Breeden. They had no children and later separated and then divorced. According to the granddaughter Rosa moved to Texas and married a cowboy. One day she was reading a letter aloud from her sister at the breakfast table. Her sister had written that "everybody here (Virginia) still knew her". Her husband assume that this meant that she had a questionable background and shot and killed her. (We better choose our written words wisely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) That's all for now.
Norm

Sunday May 7, 2000, Dee and I were talking to Adam's granddaughter, Roberta Shiflett Garrison, she says she remembers when she was a little girl seeing Adam come over to the house carrying two poles of wood and peppermint candy sticks for her and her brothers and sisters. She enjoyed the picture of Adam sitting in a chair with his hat laying on the ground. Roberta said "Popa would always take his hat off and lay it on the ground or floor where he was sitting"



Adam married Roberta C. Lawson, daughter of Jesse Lawson and Irene Walton, on 13 Jan 1889 in Greene Co., VA. Roberta was born in 1869 in Greene Co., VA, died in 1900 in VA at age 31, and was buried in Prize Hill Cemetery, Boonesville, Albemarle Co., VA.

MARRIAGE RECORD
Submitted 16 Nov 99 by Eugene Powell

13 January 1889, Albemarle Co., VA., Marriage Records:
Adam L. Shiflett, white, single, age 22, born Albemarle, lives Albemarle, son of Nancy Shiflett; married Roberta C. Lawson, white, single, age 16, born Greene, lives Albemarle, daughter of Jesse & Irene. Place of marriage, near Nortonsville.
[Note from Julie: Jesse Lawson's wife was Irene Walton, d/o Tipton and Sally Walton]

General Notes for Roberta C. Lawson
1880 Albemarle Co., VA, Census, White Hall, ED3, Family 425, page 48, Child, Roberta C. Lawson, age 8

Buried next to Roberta and Adam there is a marker for an infant daughter 1900 (no name) so it is possible Roberta died during child birth.

Roberta's tombstone states she was born in 1869. She is not listed with her father's family or her mother's family in the 1870 census. In the 1880 census she is listed as 8 years old which puts her birth date about abt 1871. The birth date on her tombstone is probably wrong

Adam next married Rosa Breeden, daughter of Horatio Breeden and Ella Unknown, on 12 Feb 1903 in Albemarle Co., VA. Rosa was born about 1886.

Merry next married Sarah Elizabeth Morris, daughter of Joseph Morris and Mary (Polly) Jo Shiflett, on 24 Mar 1867 in Greene Co., VA. Sarah was born in 1843 in Greene Co., VA and died in May 1885 in Greene Co., VA at age 42.

Oct.26,2000, yes there is truth in that story. My greatgrandmother was indian. My father has a picture of her in his house but I do not know what tribe she was from. I just know she lived in boonsville, her name was Susan A Shifflett. I don't know what her name was before she got married. she was born in 1865 on the death certificate, I have she died in 1983. her husbands name was Gustin Shifflett. He was 70 when he died. her mothers name was Jane she was born in 1823. she died in 1909. If you have anymore information please let me know.

Dear Wayne,
Please mail me a xerox of Susan's death certificate. Also if possible, I want to see a copy of her photo hanging in your father's house. I would like to add it to the site, also, but if you prefer that not to happen, then it won't be posted. I REALLY want to see what this "Indian" look is. Bob Klein, a frequent contributor to the website, frequently visits the Bacon Hollow/Brown's Cove area. If you father cannot get a copy made, Bob has a portable scanner that he can bring to the house the next time he is in the area, to scan the photo, without damaging it in any way. I have some ideas about the origin of Susan, but I would like to see the death certificate first. Sincerely, Julia Shiflett Crosswell

WARRANT ISSUED AFTER SHOOTING
Sam Shiflet Names Trio Who Shot Him Down Early Today
The Shiflett-Morris feud broke out near Free Union again today with the serious wounding of Sam Shiflett, 44, of near Free Union, by a party of men whom he named as being Elbert Hensley, his father, Edgar Hensley, and Rosser Morris, all of Bluffton.
Taken to University Hospital soon after the shooting, which took place at about eight o'clock, Shiflett was found to be suffering from .22 calibre bullet wounds of the right chest. He said he was unable to account for the fact he was not injured by missiles from a shotgun which one of the three men carried.
Was Going Home
According to Shiflett, he had been visiting the home of his housekeeper's father, Rosser Harris, and was on his way home in his automobile when he ran off the road into a side drain. He was at once beset by the party of three men, two of whom at least were armed. He admitted the trouble broke out over a still alleged to have been mysteriously broken up near Free Union some days ago. He himself had been accused of breaking the apparatus, but stoutly denied the truth of this from his hospital cot.
Officials of the Sheriff's office here stated a warrant had been issued for the arrest of Rosser Morris, who was being sought by count officers at noon today.

SAM SHIFLETT GETS BULLET IN HIS CHEST
Sam Shiflett, 44, of near Free Union, is in the University hospital, suffering from a 22-calibre bullet in his right chest. He alleges he was the target of a fusilade from a rifle and shotgun and blames Elbert Hensley, his father, Edgar Hensley, and Rosser Morris with the attack upon him, which he says occurred while his automobile was stalled in a side drain. Shiflett said the breaking up of a still, charged erroneously against him, was the cause of his wounding. He doesn't understand how the man with the shotgun missed him.

FEAR PNEUMONIA MAY PROVE FATAL
Sam Shiflett, Wounded October 5, Not Expected to Live
Sam Shiflett, 45, wounded in the right chest by men he said ambushed him early on the morning of October 5, continues in serious condition at University Hospital, and it was feared could not last through the day, hospital attendants said. Meanwhile, Edgar Hensley remains in jail here charged with complicity in the shooting, and his two companions at the time, Elbert Hensley and Rosser Morris, are bailed for appearance pending the outcome of Shiflett's injuries. Pneumonia developed in Shiflett's right lung, pierced by the bullet from a small calibre rifle, and the crisis expected by doctors at the hospital has resulted in a turn for the worse in his condition. The argument which precipitated the shooting is said to have concerned a still mysteriously destroyed in the mountains near Free Union shortly before the shooting. Shiflett denies all knowledge of the actual breaking up of the apparatus.

Shiflett Dead of Sunshot Wound
WAS SHOT DOWN IN FIGHT OCT. 5
Two Hensleys, Two Morrises To Get Hearing On Next Friday
Sam Shiflett, about 45, of near Boonesville, died in University Hospital yesterday afternoon of gunshot wounds in the chest received in a fight in the Boonesville-Free Union neighborhood on the morning of October 5. His death came after pneumonia developed in his right lung, which had been pierced by a 22-calibre bullet. His condition had been critical several days before his death. Four men had been rearrested by the Sheriff's office here this morning on charges connecting them with the slaying and will be given a preliminary hearing before Magistrate W.B. Colthurst next Friday morning. They are Elbert Hensley, his father, Edgar Hensley, Rosser Morris and Henry Morris. The elder Hensley and the two Morris men were rearrested on the streets of Charlottesville yesterday afternoon by deputy E.M. Powell. Edgar Hensley and Rosser Morris were jailed and Henry Morris released on bond. Before he died Shiflett said the he was set upon by four men in trouble having for its background a liquor still and a woman. The Sheriff's office understood that he had one of the Hensleys down upon the ground and was beating him with his fists when he was shot.

HOLD FOUR IN DEATH OF SAM SHIFLETT
Sam Shiflett of near Boonesville, died Nov. 3, 1933, in the University hospital, Charlottesville, of gunshot wounds in the chest received in a fight not far from his home the morning of Oct. 5. His death came after pneumonia developed in his right lung, which had been pierced by a .32-calibre bullet. The deceased, a man of family, was about 45 years old. Elbert Hensley, his father, Edgar Hensley, Rosser Morris and Henry Morris will be given a hearing Friday morning at Charlottesville before Magistrate W.B.

SUNDAY FIGHT RESULTS IN DEATH OF MOUNTAINEER
Alleged Assailant Is Arrested Following An Inquiry By Coroner, Motive A Mystery

Charlottesville, Va., Oct. 17.- Blackwell's Hollow, in the Blue Ridge mountains, was the scene of a murder Sunday afternoon, when, it is alleged, Morton Shiflett dealt a blow to Scott Shiflett which resulted in the latter's death this morning at University Hospital.

From statements made by two eye witneses at the coroner's inquest this afternoon it develops that Dewey Shiflett, Low Frazer and Albert Shiflett went to the house of a neighbor, Mrs. Mattie Lewis, at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon and found Morton Shiflett and Mason Walton in the yard. The three men greeted Walton, whereupon Morton Shiflett addressed them In rough language, and, It was 'testified' picked up a stake and attacked Scott Shiflett, striking him on the back of the head with such force that his skull was fractured.

Questioned closely by Judge Duke as to provocation for the attack, both witnesses said that Scott Shiflett had done nothing and that Morton Shiflett cursed him and said, "I'll just kill you, Scott." Morton Shiflett also attempted an attack on Albert Shiflett, who managed to get away from him. Later there was a fight, in which all parties present participated to some extent with sticks and rocks. Morton Shiflett was placed under arrest late this afternoon by Sheriff Smith and lodged in the county jail.


Greene County Record, Thursday, Oct. 26, 1922
MORTON SHIFLETT SENT ON TO GRAND JURY
The inquest over the body of Scott Shiflett, who was killed in Blackwell's Hollow, as reported in the record last week, was concluded at Charlottesville Friday. The Charlottesville Progress says:
Only a portion of the witnesses for the Commonwealth were introduced, including Dewey Shiflett, Albert Spriggins Shiflett, Lou Frazier, Mrs. Martha Lewis, and Oscar Lewis, her son. These were for the most part, eye witnesses of the affray, and recounted the particulars as already reported. The purport was to the effect that a group of young men, consisting of Dewey Shiflett, his brother, Scott Shiflett, Albert Shiflett, and Lou Frazier went from Mrs. Polly Jane Shiflett's house in Blackwell's Hollow in a car driven by Mr. Saul, and made a trip up the Cove to the house of Mrs. Lewis. There they exchanged the courtesies of the day and were paying a friendly visit, when it was discovered Morton Shiflett was there. Finally Albert suggested that they go, he intended to pay a visit to a house further up, and as they went out he and Dewey Shiflett noticed Morton Shiflett in conversation with Mace Walton near the house. They spoke to them, whereupon Morton Shiflett retorted, You ain't got a ------- thing to do with my business. Scott Shiflett had turned and gone towards the road nearby. Then they went on to say, Morton Shiflett arose, and addressing Scott Shiflett with oaths said, I'll kill you! Quicker than it could be told they saw Morton Shiflett grab a stick and run after Scott, and hit him a hard blow on the head. Scott Shiflett fell prone, with his arms extended. the young men ran up then to give him assistance. Spriggins Shiflett exclaimed, Lord-o'-mercy, you have done killed Scott! Morton Shiflett then made towards Spriggins and chased him across a field and the garden, Warner Shiflett taking part in the chase. Albert Shiflett struggled away from these assailants and made his way to a house a half mile across the field, and the balance of the crowd dispersed, Morton Shiflett going away in the car in which he had come to the Lewises that morning.
The defense put in no evidence and the court sent for Morton Shiflett, and the court held Morton Shiflett for the December grand jury. No application has been made, as yet, for bail, and it is understood the accused will remain in jail at least till the December term of court when his case will come before the grand jury. If indicted, as he most certainly will be, it is understood he will ask for a speedy trial.
It is understood that the defense will be held that Scott Shiflett received his death wound in a general Sunday fight in which the dead man was just as much of an aggressor as his slayer.
Upon the conclusion of the hearing of Morton Shiflett, Justice Yardley held a court for the examination of a warrant issued against Warner Shiflett for an alleged felonious assault upon Albert Shiflett in the mixup which occurred after the wounding of Scott Shiflett. He testified that he was attacked by the defendant with a hoe handle and also by striking him with stones, and he was confirmed in this by several witnesses who were introduced, except as to hitting him with the hoe handle. Warner Shiflett denied that he had attacked the complainant, claiming that he had only come to the rescue of Morton Shiflett in the struggle that took place. The justice found the accused guilty of assault and battery and fixed his punishment at a fine of $25, from which the accused took an appeal. He then made bail for his appearance at the December term of court.

Greene County Record, Greene Co., VA, Thu, May 24, 1923
MORTON SHIFLETT FOUND NOT GUILTY
Morton Shiflett was acquitted by the jury Saturday in the Albemarle county circuit court, Judge John W. Fishburne presiding, of the murder of Scott Shiflett at the dividing line between Blackwells and Browns Cove. The former killed the latter Oct. 15 by striking him in the face with a club. The trial occupied all the week. The testimony for the prosecution and defence was greatly at variance but that of the defense not so quite conflicting.
The homicide occurred near the home of Mrs. Martha Lewis, rival parties meeting there and exchanging uncomplimentary remarks which led to something akin to a pitched battle outside in which one man was killed and several others more or less hurt.
The defence's main reliance was the testimony of the prisoner, which was well supported, that the dead man was the aggressor, he having struck the slayer with a hoe handle just in advance of receiving the fatal blow.
The jury was composed of Burruss Antrim Curtis Ballard, Hugh N. Clark, E.E. Smith, H.L. Bing, Parrish McCauley, Silas Shelbourne, E.O. Munday, J.C. Wells, H.J. Proffitt, George W. Douglass and J.M. Thurston. There was a brillant array of counsel of both sides of the case.

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.

Harry married Lizzie Wurtan on 23 Oct 1915 in Albemarle Co., VA. Lizzie was born about 1895.

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.

Obituary From The Greene County Record, Stanardsville, VA, Thu, Jun. 11, 1931
REBECCA SHIFLETT
Mrs. Rebecca Shiflett, wife of Wyatt Shiflett, aged 78 years, died at her home Monday, June 1, 1931, of Stomach trouble. She had been in bad health for a long time, but growing worse, she went to the University hospital, where they were unable to do her any good, she being too old to stand an operation. So she came home and took some treatment from Dr. Davis, but to no visible benefit. It seems that the time had come for her to go. She was buried June 3 at the family cemetery at the home place. Mr. John M. Fray furnished the coffin and Mr. Homer Knight was the undertaker. There was a large crowd of relatives and friends present. She leaves to mourn her loss her husband and two sons, Messers. H. B. Shiflett, of Pirkey, and John P. Shiflett, of Nimrod; Misses Florence Shiflett, of Boonesville, and Carrie and Ella Shiflett, at home. She was a loving mother to her children and the children loved her. Her three daughters were at her bedside when she died. It is a sad thing to part from dear mother and father, when they have been so good and kind to us here. Mrs. Shiflett was a good and kind Christian woman. She was loved by all who knew her. She joined the Bible Christian church when she was quite young and kept the faith until death took her away. So what a good thing it is to die in the name of the Lord. Our good book tells us that the righteous never die, but fall asleep in the arms of Jesus. So her spirit is with Jesus. Her Brother, Kirt Shiflett, Pirkey, Virginia.

AFTER KILLING HIS WIFE, HE KILLED HIMSELF
An unusual and inexplanable tragedy occurred Wednesday night, July 5, in Morris Hollow, which lies between Bacon and Shiflett Hollows in Monroe district. George Morris, a young husband, shot his wife dead and soon afterward took his own life. There were no eyewitnesses to the killing of Mrs. Morris, or of Morris' own self destruction. Morris had been drinking, it is said, but not to the extent that would have upset his mind.
The couple had been married only a few weeks and had gone to housekeeping in a little mountain home. They had nearby neighbors and these say the pair seemed to be happily mated; that so far as they knew nothing had transpired to mar their marital bliss.
The evening of the double tragedy Morris came home somewhat under the influence of liquor, it is said. There were at his home at the time some young people who lived close by. Morris did not appear to be particularly out of humor on his arrival, though it was apparent to the visitors he had been drinking. He sat down and ate his supper, which was awaiting him. It was then after nightfall. He is said to have produced a bottle and invited all to have a drink with him and later assumed a quarrelsome attitude to Roman Morris, one of the party. This led to the young people leaving the house. They said that Morris while they were present displayed affection for his wife.
They had been away from the home only a short time when the report of a gun was heard and the sound located it in the house which they had left only a few minutes before. Morris was seen to run from the house. It was moonlight and he could be observed without difficulty. Among the first to reach the house was James Henry Morris, who found Mrs. Morris lying dead partly across the bed, as if her dying throes she had tried to kneel at its side. This was about 9 o'clock. Later another report of a gun was heard coming from just over the ridge. Following it, groans were heard and faint calls for mother. The neighbors were afraid to go to the spot thinking it possible Morris was shamming and might kill anyone who approached. A telephone message was sent to Sheriff Melone, reaching him about midnight. He went immediately to Morris Hollow and after a visit to the fated home followed the trail of Morris across the hill and found him lying stark dead in a little branch with his head down stream, a gaping wound in his left side.
Mr. Melone phoned to Dr. Davis, coroner, who went to the Morris home and held an inquest over the body of Mrs. Morris. The testimony submitted to the jury was by Overton Shiflett, Roman Morris, James Henry Morris, Hannah Morris and Dr. W. A. Kyger. The four first-named witnesses all young people, comprised the party in the house when George Morris came home. They threw no more light on the tragic affair other than given in this article. Dr. Kyger testified that Mrs. Morris had been shot in the right side, the wound causing almost instant death. The deadly work had been done with a single-barreled breechloading shot gun, which was found about 10 feet from the body of Morris.
The jury brought in the following verdict: We the jurors, sworn to inquire how Annie Roony Morris came to her death, on our oaths do say that she came to her death the night of July 5, 1922, from a gunshot wound from a gun in the hands of George Morris.
E. D. Davis, Coroner. George N. Morris. L. E. Morris. George A Morris. John W. Knight. Homer Knight.
Dr. Davis did not deem an inquest necessary in the case of Morris. He examined the body and found a wound on the left side under the heart, and he had bled from the mouth. It was the opinion of the doctor that Morris had placed the stock of the gun on the ground and pressed the trigger as the charge had taken a upward course toward the heart. Dr. Davis said that Morris perhaps did not die instantly and it was while bleeding to death he was heard moaning and calling his mother to come to him.
The fact that no motive for the tragedy has been discovered leads some to believe that Morris might have killed his wife unintentionally, and realizing the awfulness of the deed, and having been drinking, decided to make way with himself. One of the witnesses testified before the coroner's jury that he had gone with other girls since his marriage, but it is not likely that his wife quarreled with him on that score. Whatever occurred, if anything, between the couple after the young folks left happened quickly, for they had left the house only a few minutes when they heard the report of the gun. Morris was 24 years old and a son of Mrs. Nathaniel Morris. Mrs. Morris was 19 years old and the daughter of Mr. Overton Shiflett. She was a very attractive girl of agreeable disposition, and not given to quarreling with her husband, it is said.
The funerals of the victims of the double tragedy were held Thursday and both were largely attended. Morris was buried at the home of his mother and Mrs. Morris at the home of her mother. The dead man is survived by his mother and a number of brothers and sisters. The dead woman is survived by her father and a number of brothers and sisters. Both the deceased happened to be members of large families.

SHOOTS AND KILLS HIS BRIDE OF MONTH
Fatal Ending Of A Drinking Bout In Bacon Hollow, In Green County, Virginia

Beldor, July 9.- Belated reports of another tragedy enacted in Bacon Hollow, Greene County have Just reached here, to the fact that George Morris shot and killed his month's old bride and then committed suicide.

Morris who was the son of Natthaniel Morris and his bride the youngest daughter of "Aliaz Mountain" Shifflet were married about the first of June and no real cause for the tragedy is known, It Is reported.

From the neighborhood comes the report that Morris was alleged to have been drinking at the time. He had Just returned from visiting another women whom he was once engaged to marry, it Is said. After talking to her for some time he is said to have remarked to a passerby that he was going home and make a "clean hquse."

When he arrived at his home, he shot his wife without a word of warning. The bullet went through her heart and she died instantly. He then turned the gun upon himself and died about half an hour later, the reports say.

(This is another article on the George M. Morris & Addie Shifflett Murder / Suicide. Just a side note but I have not seen Overton Shifflett refered to as "Aliaz Mountain" Shifflett before. )

MELROY SHIFLETT
Melroy Shiflett was born March 25, 1863, upon the farm on which he spent all of his life. His death was a Shock to that community as well as to his family. His health had been good until quite recently when he was bothered with heart trouble which was the cause of his sudden death. Besides his widow he leaves to mourn his loss the following children; Mrs. Henrietta Ragan, Cottage City, Md.; Mrs. Mollie G. Jane Greenwell, Seat Pleasant, Md.; Mrs. Emma Shiflett, Elkton, William I. Shiflett, Earlysville and Enoch B. Shiflett, Detroit, Mich. Mr. Shiflett had two brothers living, Messrs. John Shiflett, Pirkey, and Flourney Shiflett, March and one sister, Miss Sophrony Shiflett, March. Mr. Shiflett had a number of grandchildren who were very dear to him. Mr. Shiflett was a member of Evergreen Brethren church for 38 years and lived that consistent Christian life which commends itself to others. He was a kind husband, a devoted father and a splendid neighbor. It is hard on his devoted helpmeet, who had lived with him these many years, but such is life and makes us think of what Job said. "If a man die shall he live again?" Mr. Shiflett's motto was "Treat the other man as you would have him treat you." Mr. Shifflett's funeral was conducted by Rev. E. C. Woodie in the presence of a large concourse of relatives, friends and neighbors. He was laid to rest in Evergreen cemetery beside his daughter, Hazel, who preceded him to the other world some time ago. The pallbearers were relatives and friends. Mr. Shiflett's request that his burial service be plain without flowers, altho neighbors brought one beautiful floral tokens out of respect to him and the family. Messrs. E. Y. Vernon & Son were funeral directors. By one who know Mr. Shiflett from boyhood.

ICY MORRIS
Mrs. Icy Morris died Jan. 20, 1926, at home of her son, Charlie Morris, at Beasler Mill, aged about 36. Mrs. Morris was in bad health for a number of years, but had kept on getting worse as the years passed. Cancer of the breast was the cause of her death. Icy, as she was called by everybody, was loved and respected by all. To know her was to love her. She was a Christian woman having connected herself with God a number of years ago. She was a member of Binghams Methodist church and attended when able to do so. She lived on the old Bickers place for a number of years, and up to the death of her husband who it will be remembered, was killed as a car went over an embankment at Rio about three years ago. That left her and one daughter alone. She was compelled to break up house keeping and live with her son. She didn't want to do so for she felt as if there was no place like home. She never made many trips after she left her home. She said when she left, "Please when I die bury me in the old Bickers grave yard." Her request was carried out. She was buried a very bad day. Not many there to see her laid away--- Icy, who was so kind to every one she came in contact with. We all feel she is better off and she is out of her suffering. Icy leaves to mourn her loss her aged father, three sisters and two children, Mr. Charlie Morris with whom she lived and Miss Addie Morris. She was laid to rest in the grave yard beside her husband, Messrs. C. L. Bickers & Son were the undertakers. The course is finished, the life is spent. The body to the clay. The deed of life a monument. For the disclosing of that eternal day. One who knew her well. NOTE: The year of death is listed as 1926 but the Newspaper was Feb 1925

Icyphrene married George W. Edward Morris, son of George A. Morris and Emily F. (Emma) Connell, on 16 Jan 1896 in Rockingham Co., VA. George was born in May 1861 in Greene Co., VA, died on 2 Dec 1922 in Albemarle Co., VA at age 61, and was buried in Old Bickers Graveyard.

TIRE COMES OFF CAR JUMPS FROM BRIDGE MAN FATALLY HURT

Charlottesville, Dec. 3 - George E. Morris, a farmer residing in Greene County, just across the Albemarle line, one mile south of Nortonsville was fatally injured late yesterday afternoon when a car in which he was riding ran off the bridge at Rio Mills. In the plunge of fifteen feet, Mr. Morris was thrown out, the machine falling on him, crushing his chest. He died on the way to the University Hospital.

Mr. Morris had been to the University Hospital to procure medicine for his wife who had been under treatment at that institution and was on his return home in a car owned and driven by Wilmer Herring. Upon reaching the bridge at Rio Mills a tire came off the front wheel of the car, causing the machine to swerve and leave the bridge. Mr. Herring and two other occupants of the car escaped with only slight injuries.

Mr. Morris was a native of Rockingham County and was 63 years of age. He married a Miss Shiflett, daughter of John Shiflett, of Dyke, Green County. She survives, with two children, a married son, Charles who lives at Bensley's Mill, Greene County, and a daughter, Miss Addie Morris.

Sons of Lost man Offer $500 Reward
STANARDSVILLE - The mystery of the disppearance of a 73-year-old Greene County man continued unsolved today as small bands of searchers rechecked the mountain area where he was last seen almost a week ago.
Three of the ten children of the missing man - Daniel Scott Shifflett - today said they are offering a $500 reward for any information that leads to finding their father. Offering the reward are three sons - Roy, Jesse and Jossie Shifflett.
A daughter, Mrs. Russell McFarland, whose home is adjacent to her father's, said that the two-mile route between Shifflett's home and that of his brother, whom they believe he had intended to visit, has been throughly searched, and that the site of his old home - several miles away in what is now part of the Shenandoah National Park - also has been searched.
Shifflett had two dogs with him when he disappeared last Thursday. A young dog came home late the same day, but his older dog which stayed with him constantly, according to the family - didn't return until last Saturday morning.

The Daily Progress, Charlottesville, VA, Mar. 15, 1965
STANARDSVILLE - The body of a 73-year-old Greene County man who had been missing 2 1/2 weeks was found yesterday under a cliff on High Top Mountain.
The man, Daniel Scott Shifflett, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Dr. Warren Rucker, Greene County coroner, ruled the death a suicide.
Floyd Wayne Shifflett, 17, of Swift Run, found the body yesterday about 11 a.m. Sheriff W.D. Deane of Greene County said he is isn't certain whether the boy is a rleative of the man but said it is unlikely that he is a close relative.
Deane said that the boy glanced under the cliff earlier in the morning and saw nothing. Later he took a closer look and spotted the butt of a 12-guage shotgun. The shotgun blast had struck Daniel Shifflett near the heart, probably killing him instantly.
Dr. Rucker said the death apparently occurred on Feb. 25, which was the day the man was reported missing from the home of his brother, John Wise Shifflett, in Mutton Hollow. Daniel Shifflett left his brother's home for his own home about two miles away and disappeared. The cliff under which his body was found is four or five miles from where he was last seen, Sheriff Deane said. The man wasn't carrying the shotgun when he left his brother's house, Deane said. The space under he cliff was about six feet wide and there was just enough room for a an to crawl in.
The boy who found the body declined to accept a $500 reward that had been offered by three sons of Daniel Shifflett, the sheriff said. Discovery of the body ended an 18-day search by hundred of persons. Deane said search parties had been out every day.

Noted events in his life were:

• Soc Sec Num. 224-01-0542

• Medical Condition: self-inflicted gunshot wound.

John next married Jane Shiflett, daughter of Andrew Jackson Shifflett and Sarah E. Roach, on 11 Nov 1906 in Rockingham Co., VA. Jane was born in 1879 in VA.

The Name change, The story that my aunt tells is that once Kate Died he was adopted by a family in Covington and apparently they called him George Edwin. At some point he reconnected with his Brother Hiram and started using his given name. I do not know why he still had that name on his drivers license. as you can see the car registration is in Douglas. Hiram named one of his sons after my Grandpa. Do you have information on the son he had with Lucille. His name was also Douglas, he lived in Ohio and is Buried there.

Dear Julie, here is my input regarding your question: General married Rebecca E. Morris 19 August 1888. These are the children they had that I'm aware of; Rosa Belle, Bessie Lee, Herbert Lee, Addie Florence, Octavius (Tavy), & Zeddie. General then married Pearl Peacock Shifflett, 26 April 1923. Their children are Virginia May (Ardista, a nickname while growing up and my mother) b. 19 July 1918 & currently living in New York, Prentiss General Shifflette b. 24 March 1920, d. 1 January 2000, Peggy Jane b. 17 July 1922 living in VA., Refa Pearl b. 17 July 1924 living in Florida, Ruby Alice b. 10 Sept. 1926, d. Dec. 1997. Pearl then mar'd. John Wesley Roach 13 Feb 1934 (see Elizabeth&Calus Roach Chart). They had three children. Geraldine b. 2 Feb. 1935, Edith Pearl b. 5 Sept. 1937, Elizabeth Ann b. 30 Nov. 1939. All three still living. My sources are mostly from my Aunt Refa and my mother, Virginia. Hope this is helpful, Bruce

General Shifflett, (according to my paternal grandfather, Lanie Morris) fathered 2 children by Rebecca Morris, d/o Benjamin David and Millie Jane Morris. I'm going to call her Rebecca2. Rebecca2 was never married according to my grandfather. Therefore General Shifflett has 3 sets of children rather than just the 2 sets listed on the Shifflett website. This is the same General Shifflett that was m. to Rebecca Morris d/o Jarrel and Virenda Morris.

In the 1880 census:
1880 Greene County, VA, Census, Monroe District, Family #58, Benjamin Morris, H of HH, Age 27.

Also in HH:
Millie J. - Wife, age 25
Jehovah -Son, age 9
Nellie - Daughter, age 6
Rebecca - Daughter, age 5

In the 1900 Greene County, VA, Census, Monroe District, Family #167, in the HH of Benjamin David Morris - -William B. Grandson, Birthdate June 1896, Age 3. Millie is listed as the mother of 4 children with 2 living. At this time we know Jehovah is still living and Nellie is living and listed in the 1900 census. This implies Rebecaa and one other child is deceased. She died sometime after the birth of William Bluey Morris, June 10, 1896 and before the 1900 census. I have not yet found the family in the 1910 census. According to Lanie Morris, William Bluey Morris was raised by his grandparents, Benjamin David Morris and Millie Jane Morris because his mother had died. Were you aware there were 3 sets of children for General Shifflett? Gina Gibson

A funeral service for Polly and (Molly) Shifflett, a native of Greene County, who died last night at her home at Front Royal, will be held at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the Free Union Church of the Brethren with burial in the Church cemetery. She was 87.

Bob, He is listed in the 1900 GCC - he is listed as a grandson of Peggy Shifflett, wife of Henderson Shiflett. If we look at the children under Henderson, I did not find a Mollie Ann, but there is a Polly Ann born in 1875. See below don't have much on her except she died November 23, 1961, buried Free Union, Albemarle Co., Virginia. I am thinking that this is the mother of Joseph Hobart instead of Mollie Ann - If we get a chance to check her obit we might find the answer. As far as Bryant goes, there is only one that I know of who is in the right time frame - Bryant A. Shiflett married to Eva. Again, the obit of Polly Ann may shed some light on this. Later, Larry

BRYANA FRANCES SPROUSE SHIFLETT
Mrs. Joseph H. Shiflett
Mrs. Bryana Frances Shiflett, wife of Joseph H. Shiflett, of Free Union, died Thursday night at a local hospital. Mrs. Shiflett was a daughter of the late James H. Sprouse, of Albemarle, and was thirty-six years of age. Besides her husband, she is survived by one son Joseph W. Shiflett. She also leaves her mother Mrs. Mary Sprouse, four sisters and five brothers --- Mrs. E. M. Baldwin of Richmond; Mrs. H. E. Ward, of Eastham. Mrs. Earl Garrison, of Ivy; Miss Nellie Lee Sprouse, and R. E., C. M., J. M., E. A., and L. H. Sprouse, all of Free Union. The funeral will be held at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from the Church of the Brethren, the service to be conducted by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Maupin, Burial will be in the churchyard

Bob: (email Nov 18, 2003)
I know who this is, but I'm a little baffled at her father being named as James H. Sprouse in the Obituary. My maternal grandmother's line is Sprouse, so I have been researching documents on the Sprouses for a while now. Of course I saw many Sprouses change their names to avoid whatever, so this really doesn't surprise me. This is what I have, based on marriage and census documents. Jonathan Minor Sprouse married Mary Cora L.Thomas in 1896. He was the son of Richard and Frances Langford Sprouse. B. Frances Sprouse married Joseph Shifflett December 31, 1928 in Albemarle. I saw the documentation there. B. Frances Sprouse's parents were John M. and Cora T. Sprouse. In the 1910 and 1920 censuses Frances Sprouse is listed as a child of John and Cora Thomas Sprouse. She had 9 brothers and sisters all verified by these two censuses as children of John and Cora Sprouse, and they also correspond to what you have in the Obituary. So I sure don't know where the James H. Sprouse came from.
However, to get back to the question you had, Blanche Sprouse, her sister married Earl Garrison, son of Samuel Austin and Mary Jane Garrison.

AX Assault Kills Woman, Injuries Man
BARBOURSVILLE -- A 26 year old Orange County woman was killed and a male companion was injured yesterday evening in an altercation near Barboursville. Police believe the two were hit with the blunt end of an ax. Dead from a blow on the head is Miss Ethel Wingfield Amos of Barboursville. B. T. Shifflett, about 25, of somerset, is in fair condition at University Hospital in Charlottesville with a head injury. Sheriff M. M. Myers of Orange County said he has arrested Luther Brookman, 44, and has charged him with murder. The incident occurred about 9:30 p.m. yesterday at Brookman's house on US 33, about 1 1/2 miles from Barboursville. Myers said, the incident apparently happened during an argument over the woman. Sheriff Myers said that Brookman, a construction worker, called the sheriff's office to report the killing and later met Myers on the road and led him to the house where the slaying occurred.

Second Ax Victim Dies of Injuries
B. T. Shifflett, 25, of Barboursville, died this morning at 2:05 at University Hospital from head injuries suffered Sunday in an ax assault at the home of Luther Brookman, about 1 1/12 miles from Barboursville on US 33. Orange Sheriff M. M. Myers said he would place a second murder charge against Brookman this afternoon. Brookman, 44, a construction worker was charged Sunday with the slaying of Mrs. Ethel Amos Wingfield, 32, of Barboursville in Orange County. Mrs. Wingfield was killed in an attack on her and Shifflett in the bedroom of Brookman's shanty. Myers found an ax with blood stains and matted hair on its blunt end in the house. He said Brookman a Bachelor, admitted the assault. "I don't think either of them the victims knew what hit them," Myers said. The sheriff said Brookman told him the pair had broken into his house and were in his bed. Apparently all three had been drinking. Myers said. Brookman had been trying to keep the woman and Shifflett away from his house, and he just got mad when he found them there, Myers said. The glass in several windows was broken out. Brookman produced a brick which he told Myers he had used in the attacks. But Myers does not think it was the weapon. It had no trace of blood on it, he said. The assaults occurred about 9:30 p.m. Sunday. Brookman reported them himself and met the sheriff on the road and led him back to the house. Mrs. Wingfield was dead on arrival at University Hospital, Brookman was arrested that night and charged with murder. he is being held without bond and no date has been set for his trial.

Luther (Teaton) Brookman 44 of Barboursville, was sentenced to forty years in an Orange County Circuit Court on Dec 1, for the ax murders of Bernard Shifflett 25 of Quinque and Mrs. Ethel Amos Wing 32 of Charlottesville last Aug 7, Judge C. Champion Bowles heard the case. A jury was dismissed when Brookman agreed to be re-arraigned and changed his plea to guilty on both charges. No witnesses were called and the accused did not offer any testimony. Commonwealths Attorney S. Page Higginbotham had ask a forty year term on both counts with the sentences to be concurrent. Mr. Higgenbotham stated that Brookman had a record of two previous terms in the state prison and that on the basis of a third conviction he could actually be given another ten years for a total of 50 years instead of the forty proposed.

Henrietta is listed as 4 years old on the 1880 census which puts her birth about 1876 which is 8 or 9 years younger. I don't know what to make of this except maybe that was another Heneritta that died and then the second was born in 1884. Wish I could find this family on the 1900 census.

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.

To: jcrosstx@charter.net (Julie Crosswell)
CC: LFSOFVA@aol.com (Larry Shiflett), EPOWELL555@aol.com (Eugene Powell), bklein26@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 voiced 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 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

Much of the information on the Family of Henry Benson Shiflett and Martha Walton was provided by Neva Adams <donandneva@juno.com>

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.

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"

15 Jan 2000, From LFSOFVA (Larry Shifflett)
The newspaper story regarding the shooting of Jesse Lawson still intrigues me. The "Burrus" Shifflett could easily be George Burrus Shiflett, son of Charles P. and Sarah Walton Shiflett, grandson of Calvin and Elizabeth. Also, if Adam Lincus is off of Overton, then I think there could be a connection to Nancy. Notice that "Lawson and Shifflett had a had a quarrel, and it was over a woman." My instincts tell me that there is a connection here that could be followed up by seeing if there is more info in the Albe. newspaper or at the CH regading the murder, which apparently took place in Albemarle. Even Sanford Davis shot ole Jesse once, Overton Shiflett shot him once, and Burrus shot him three times - what a character!

Rockingham Register, July 31, 1903
"MOUNTAIN TRAGEDY - Jesse Lawson Shot and Killed by Burrus Shifflett - Bloody End of Bitter Feud:
News was received have Tuesday of the murder of Jesse Lawson, which was committed in Shifflett's Hollow, in the Albemarle county, not far from the Greene county line, Sunday night. It was stated that Burrus Shifflett fired the fatal shot, and he is now a fugitive from justice. The details of the killing reached Harrisonburg through the Swift Run Gap people who had come to town as witnesses and interested parties in the Richards vs. Morris case, and they constitute a tale of mountaineer enmity and hatred worthy of the darkest regions of Kentucky and West Virginia. It started with a woman in the case. Several years ago Lawson and Shifflett had a quarrel, and it was over a woman. Shifflett swore he would not die until he had laid low the man he hated. A year or two afterward Lawson was arraigned in the courts charged with burning a barn. He was given two years in the penitentiary on the oath of Shifflett. He returned from Richmond, declaring to his friends that he had served his time as a innocent man, which was afterwards proven to be true. A second time Shifflett's vengeance overtook him this time in the shape of a load of buckshot, which, however did not prove fatal. Shifflett disappeared and became a virtual outlaw for a long time. About a year ago he made his appearance again and shot Lawson a second time, with a like result. He was a fugitive from justice again until last week, when he came back into the Shifflett's Hollow country and in the presence of Lawson repeated his oath that he would kill him yet. Sunday night he made good his threat. Lawson had gone out of the house about 9 0'clock and on returning the fatal load of eight buckshot was fired into him. He lived for about an hour after he was shot. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon, which prevented his brother from attending the Richards-Morris trial. The country around the scene of the murder is one of the wildest in the Blue Ridge and Shifflett has so far eluded the pursuit of the law if, indeed, any effort has been made to apprehend him.
Lawson's life was an eventful one. He had been shot five times - three times by Burrus Shifflett, once by Overton Shifflett, and once by Sanford Davis. He is said to have been a man of great physical courage, and that fear was a stranger to his composition. As Burton Morris put it, and Burton knew him intimately for many years, he was a man naturally of a peaceable disposition, but had been made desperate by stress of circumstances. Shifflett has the reputation of being one of the most desperate men whose names are linked with the criminal history of Shifflett Hollow.

Talked to Chestley today and he advised that Burruss Shiflett was never tried for the murder. Based on the news article below, law enforcement officers either were not interested in solving these crimes or was afraid to go into these two hollows, I suspect the latter. Chesley also confirmed that Jesse is buried at Prize Hill Cemetery. Norm

From The Daily Progress, Saturday, 1 Aug 1903:

NOT IN SHIFLETT HOLLOW
CORRESPONDENT SAYS THAT CRIME WAS COMMITTED
IN BLACKWELL HOLLOW
Former Place Not as bad as it is Represented
Neglect of Church and State Largely
to Blame For the Conditions - No
Educational Advantages

Commenting on the murder of Jesse Lawson, this county, on Sunday, night last, a correspondent at Crozet write as follows: Last Sunday night in Blackwell Hollow a horrible crime was committed. One Jesse Lawson was shot by one supposed to be Burruss Shifflett. As I was near the scene of the murder from the time it was committed until the victim was buried, heard the matter discussed pro and con by the people of that section, I wish through your column of your newspaper to clear up, if possible, a few mistaken ideas on the part of people outside concerning that section, and to offer a few suggestions as to how I think such a horrible crime can be stopped and the fair name of Albemarle County, saved the disgrace of such shocking conduct.
The murder has been placed upon Shifflett's Hollow when as matter of fact it took place in Blackwell's Hollow about two miles from Shifflett's. That entire section of county has been considered by people living outside as one in which the life of a stranger would not be safe. Shifflett's Hollow has been a synonym for a murder and all manner of outlawry. It has been use indiscriminately to describe a large a large part of the county which has no more to do with Shifflett's Hollow (Greene County), than it has to do with Charlottesville. I have been all through that section, generally known as Shifflett's Hollow, and now know personally most of the people. I have always been courteously and kindly received, and nowhere have I found a more abundant supply of human kindness. In my dealings with them, both in social and business matters, I have found them at heart very much like other people - some good, peaceful, and honest citizens, other bad, rowdy and dishonest. The isolated condition of the county and the rugged environment offer a splendid field for the outlaw, but comparing the crime committed in Blackwell's Hollow with those in our capital city, I would feel very much safer in the wildest part of Blackwell's or Shifflett's Hollow than on the streets of Richmond in full view of all that betakens refinement and civilization.
There are many people in the neighborhood where Lawson was shot who deplore such lawless conduct and fell most keenly the disgrace it brings upon their section. They would like to see the culprit caught and tried by due process of law. Now is such crimes are to be stopped, the State should put forth every effort to catch the criminal whoever he may be. Burress Shifflett was suspected from the moment of the murder was committed and upon sufficient circumstantial evidence to cause his arrest, and yet no effort was made to take him. If the law is not enforced then the criminal is allowed to go free, there will very likely be no end to trouble. Lawson, though a bad character, has many friends and sympathizers, sad the treacherous way in which he was murdered has turned public feeling very much in his favor and against Shifflett. If the proper constituted authorities do not act promptly and decisively these friend and sympathizers of Lawson may attempt, in their own way, to avenge the murder. So the feud will grow, and Virginia will have a little Hatfield and McCoy tragedy enacted on her own stage. Neglect to enforce the law in the first instance is what gives occasion to the mountain feuds and a continued neglect to enforce the law fosters and encourages them after they have once started.
So long as the murderer is free there will be more bloodshed. Now I do not mean to reflect upon our own county officials for I do not know what they have done or doing in this case, but I wish to urge upon them, and all other citizens who are anxious to maintain law and order, the importance of capturing the criminal, taking him out of the community and is the name of the Commonwealth dealing with him as it is proven he deserves. It will never do to console ourselves with the thought that Lawson was a bad character and deserved the death he got and thus become indifferent in bringing his murderer to justice.

The last couple paragraphs were unreadable. I assume he writes about neglect of church in this area.

Larry,
This past Thursday I visited Adam L. granddaughter who confirmed that after Roberta's early death Adam married again to Rosa Breeden. They had no children and later separated and then divorced. According to the granddaughter Rosa moved to Texas and married a cowboy. One day she was reading a letter aloud from her sister at the breakfast table. Her sister had written that "everybody here (Virginia) still knew her". Her husband assume that this meant that she had a questionable background and shot and killed her. (We better choose our written words wisely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) That's all for now.
Norm

Sunday May 7, 2000, Dee and I were talking to Adam's granddaughter, Roberta Shiflett Garrison, she says she remembers when she was a little girl seeing Adam come over to the house carrying two poles of wood and peppermint candy sticks for her and her brothers and sisters. She enjoyed the picture of Adam sitting in a chair with his hat laying on the ground. Roberta said "Popa would always take his hat off and lay it on the ground or floor where he was sitting"



Adam married Roberta C. Lawson, daughter of Jesse Lawson and Irene Walton, on 13 Jan 1889 in Greene Co., VA. Roberta was born in 1869 in Greene Co., VA, died in 1900 in VA at age 31, and was buried in Prize Hill Cemetery, Boonesville, Albemarle Co., VA.

MARRIAGE RECORD
Submitted 16 Nov 99 by Eugene Powell

13 January 1889, Albemarle Co., VA., Marriage Records:
Adam L. Shiflett, white, single, age 22, born Albemarle, lives Albemarle, son of Nancy Shiflett; married Roberta C. Lawson, white, single, age 16, born Greene, lives Albemarle, daughter of Jesse & Irene. Place of marriage, near Nortonsville.
[Note from Julie: Jesse Lawson's wife was Irene Walton, d/o Tipton and Sally Walton]

General Notes for Roberta C. Lawson
1880 Albemarle Co., VA, Census, White Hall, ED3, Family 425, page 48, Child, Roberta C. Lawson, age 8

Buried next to Roberta and Adam there is a marker for an infant daughter 1900 (no name) so it is possible Roberta died during child birth.

Roberta's tombstone states she was born in 1869. She is not listed with her father's family or her mother's family in the 1870 census. In the 1880 census she is listed as 8 years old which puts her birth date about abt 1871. The birth date on her tombstone is probably wrong

Adam next married Rosa Breeden, daughter of Horatio Breeden and Ella Unknown, on 12 Feb 1903 in Albemarle Co., VA. Rosa was born about 1886.

Nancy next married John Conway Shifflett, son of Burton Shifflett and Nancy Elizabeth Frazier, before 1877. John was born on 2 Jun 1840 in VA, died on 9 Feb 1917 in Albemarle Co., VA at age 76, and was buried in Prize Hill Cemetery, Boonesville, Albemarle Co., VA.

Comments:
The person that called me from Vital Records, as I reported earlier by email, stated they Lucy was a twin. I inquired if the other twin was John Conway and she said no. As you can see the Birth Record states J.C. and L.A. are twins and that the Sex is Female for the twins, hence, the confusion. John Conway would probably be doing flips in his grave if he knew that he was listed as a female! As we know by birth and census records John and Lucy were born April, 1877. Somewhere along the line she got younger by 4 years or so! Same thing happens today. We also know that she was born in Greene County rather than Albemarle as listed on the Death Record. Please provide your thoughts on the Death Record that states that father is ? Shiflett, born Albemarle County. Was her father a Shiflett (Henry B.) since she named her first son Henry or was it Conway Shiflett, listed in John Conway marriage license as his father. I am still trying to find which county in Maryland that she married to see how her father was listed. Any idea who M. Frazier, name of informant at birth, may be? Norm

February 2000, From norm1394@gmail.com (Norman Addington);
Again the great grandson of Charles P. Shiflett stated that Sallie Belle and Eddie would talk about visiting their half brother/sister, Conway and Lucy Ann. This confirms that Lucy Ann and Eddie had a different father than Sallie and Eddie.

Lucy married someone

Lucy married Adam Keblinger Wyant Sr., son of William J. Wyant and Elizabeth P. Keblinger, before 1909 in MD. Adam was born on 2 Nov 1855 in VA, died on 21 Jan 1941 in Albemarle Co., VA at age 85, and was buried in Mt. Moriah Methodist Church Cemetery, White Hall, Albemarle Co., VA.

ADAM K. WYANT, SR.
Rites For A. K. Wyant, Sr.
Funeral and burial rites for Adam Kebillinger Wyant Sr., were held yesterday morning at Mt. Moriah Methodist Church at White Hall, the service conducted by the Rev. W. E. Cooley. Active pallbearers were T. I, Haden, Earl Abell, W. D. Maupin, II., Harry Clarke, Thomas Wyant, II., and William Wyant, II. Honary pallbearers included I. J. Poats, W. W. head, Nelson Jones, Wescott Jones, H. R. Maupin. B. B. Burruss, L. K. Sandridge, W. B. Bibb, B. P. Kemper, Curtis Ballard, Charles Sandridge, Dr. L. G. Roberts, and Mason Perkins.

Adam was Post Master at White Hall, ran a store in which the Post Office was located, and was a farmer and orchardman. Her Obituary does not list her parents name. Since she is the twin of John Conway Shiflett then her father would also be Conway Shiflett. Again the great grandson of Charles P. Shiflett stated that Sallie Belle and Eddie would talk about visiting their half brother/sister, Conway and Lucy Ann. This confirms that Lucy Ann and Conway had a different father than Sallie and Eddie.

Received from Norm Addington norm@rtc.net
Ref: Your email dtd 25 March 20
I talked to the daughter of Lucy and Adam K. Wyant tonight. She confirmed that Emma E. was the first wife of Adam. She was a Anderson from Nellysford, Nelson County. Emma and Adam had 9 children. She doesn't remember the names. She didn't know anything about Daisy. Looking at the dates I would believe that she could easily been the daughter of Eddie., Norm

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.

It looks like this family changed their name to Shiplett after leaving Virginia except for Rolla.

The 1910 census indicates James was married before. I think he is the son of Bluford Trice Shiflett and Margaret Ann Rankin.

KEYTON FAMILY
AIR TROUBLES
Husband And Wife Charge Each Other With Same Offense
Both sides or the domestic troubles of the Keyton family, High street, were aired in Juvenile Court this morning before Judge Harry E. Snyder with the result that the husband and father, Elmer Keyton was ordered to pay $4 a week to the support of his two minor children.
Elmer charged his wife, Elizabeth, with contributing to the delinquency of the children while she charged him with nonsupport and also contributing to their delinquency. The wife was dismissed of the charge while he was found guilty.
The couple have several grown children and lived together over twenty years, separating this past December. Mrs. Keyton testified that his treatment of her simply killed all love she had for him and that they had to separate. She admitted to keeping company with a roomer at her place, saying that her husband went around with other women for five years and she felt, that what was fair for the man was fair for the woman. The children corroborated the mother®s testimony.

Hello again,
Henry and "Rosie" (as she's listed on headstone) are buried in Mountain Grove Cemetery (the main one I mentioned, on Route 39). He died 10 March 1936; she died 23 Sept. 1946. Those are the only two Shiffletts I have listed in Mountain Grove Cemetery. There is only one other Shifflett, James Kenneth (died aged just 18, on Dec. 27, 1965); however, he is buried in Warm Springs Cemetery.
Hope this helps.

PS: The main cemetery is just off Route 39 West, on the south side of the highway, up on a hill. You can see it from the road. I'd have to say it is nearer Marlinton, West Virginia than Warm Springs,

JOHN ANDREW SHIFFLETTE
J. A. Shifflette Dies Suddenly
Former Dayton Mayor Well Known Forester Is Heart Victim
John Andrew (Jack) Shifflette, 80, one of the outstanding citizens of Dayton and a native of Rockingham County, died Saturday evening at Rockingham Memorial Hospital after being stricken by a heart attack. Mr. Shifflette was enjoying a yard picnic at the home of his neighbor, Miss Cammie Thacker, when he suffered the attack and was rushed to the hospital where the end came at 10:40. Born on June 10, 1873, he was the son of the late James Early and Angeline Aleshire Shifflette of near Port Republic. Mr. Shifflette was twice married, his first wife. Mary C. Few, of Dayton, was married to him on June 12, 1900, and to this union were born four children. Mrs. Marie A. Bartley, of Deerfield; Mrs. Mary E. Caison, of Newport News: Carl E. Shifflette, of Washington: and Herman Jackson Shifflette, of Long Beach, California. His first wife died on June 12, 1912. On April 11, 1914, he was united in marriage to Miss Olevia Hatter at Lynchburg, and to this union was born a son, James Dabney Shifflette, who now resides at Harrisonburg. He is also survived by two sisters: Mrs. Amanda Reed, Waynesboro, and Mrs. Lucy Chandler, Harrisonburg; eight grandchildren and four great grandchildren. By profession, Mr. Shifflette was a lumberman and forester, who had many years of experience in operating lumber mills for himself and others. He was superintendent of woods at Stokesville, for the Stiegel Lumber Corporation from 1903 to 1909. In 1914, he accepted a position as forest ranger on what was then the Shenandoah National Forest, being the first ranger appointed to this forest with the rangers station then at Stokesville. Resigning this position with the Forest Service in November 1917, he accepted a position as superintendent of production with the Augusta Wood Product Corporation of Deerfield, and when this operation was closed after World War I, he went into the lumber business for himself at Deerfield from 1922 to 1928. Mr. Shifflette was later employed from 1929 to 1931 by the state of Virginia on the Shenandoah National Park where he checked all of the timber estimates and working out the values of all timber lands of the private owners in the eight counties. In 1933, he went back to the U. S. Forest Service and was appointed Superintendent of the CCC Camp No. 3 which was located at Fulk's Run, whose work was the building of roads and timber stand improvement. This camp was transferred from Fulk's Run to Cleveland, Va., on the TVA Flood Control Work. He resigned April 10, 1937. Mr. Shifflette spent practically his entire life in the county of his birth with the exception of about fifteen years at which time he lived with his mother at Columbia Furnace in Shenandoah County from 1881 to 1896. In 1896 he moved back to Dayton and here he served the town as, Town Sergeant, Treasurer, Councilman, and two terms as Mayor. Mr. Shifflette had been a member of the Dayton Methodist Church since 1908 and was named trustee of his church in 1930. He had been a member of the Valley Lodge No. 40 IOOF of Harrisonburg for 45 years. Mr. Shifflette's passing marks the end of a life devoted to private enterprise and civic affairs which will continue to live. The body may be viewed at the Lindsey Funeral Home on South Main Street until eight o'clock Tuesday morning when it will be taekn to his late home on Main Street in Dayton. At one o'clock the body will be placed in the Dayton Methodist Church to lie in state from one-thirty until two-thirty.

Tombstone reads J. A. (Jack) Shifflette 1873-1953

Bob: I already need to correct my original posting. My husband's grandparents were Jackson Andrew Shifflette and Mary C. Few; at least one child was my husband's father, Carl Early Shifflette, b. Dec. 25, 1903, d May 1979 in Gilchrist (Bell), Fl. When Jackson Andrew married on June 15, 1900 to Mary C. Few b 1880 d 1912, the marriage license was as Andrew J. Shifflett, son of James E. Shifflett & Sarah Angeline Ayleshire. Mary's parents were Daniel Few & Susan Hamilton. When Jackson Andrew died his tombstone read J.A. (Jack) Shifflette (note the addition of the "e" and the reversal of first & middle names, b 1873 - d 1953. After Mary died he married Olivia Hatter, b 1884, d 1966. All 3 are buried in Dayton Cemetery, Dayton, VA. & all names inscribed on 1 stone but then there are separate ones for Mary & Olivia. You'll see this in pictures when I e-mail them. Olivia & "Jack" ran an orphanage in Harrisonburg. They had a son James D. "Jack" Shifflette who d 9/13/94 in Harrisonburg, I believe at the Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community. He worked at a car dealership in Harrisonburg and was married to Frances S. Shifflette who d 8/12/96. Another son owned a pool hall there (don't know his name) and there were 2 daughters, Effie & Marie, but I'm not sure by what wife. I don't know if this fills in any of your blanks, I hope it helps. You sure helped me. Thanks again.
Mary

ELKTON GIRL VICTIM OF WASHINGTON FIRE WELL KNOWN HERE
------------------
BODY OF MISS CATHERINE DEAN IS BURNED BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION
------------------
ONCE LIVED IN HARRISONBURG
------------------
Was Warned In Time By Friend, But Delayed To Dress With Fatal Results
------------------

One of the victims of the National Hotel fire In Washington Saturday night was Miss Catherine Dean, daughter of N. A. Dean, of Elkton, it was learned yesterday. Miss Dean was a telephone operator In the hotel, and had her rooms In the building. Her charred body was found by a rescuing party crouched beside an elevator Shaft.

Miss Dean was operator for the Harrisonburg Mutual Telephone Company here for about three years leaving for Washington three years ago. She is survived by her father, a retired merchant of Elkton, two brothers, Luther and Benjamin Dean and one sister, Mrs. Roy Kyger, all of Elkton. An undertaker from Elkton left for the Capital City yesterday to bring the body to Elkton for burial. Miss Dean was about thirty-five years old, and had a number of friends here and at Elkton who were shocked to hear of her tragic death.

Visited Parents Recently

Only last Saturday, Miss Dean came to Elkton to spend the weekend with her father, returning to Washington last Monday. A few weeks ago her mother died. Miss Dean was married to Oscar Templeman several years ago, from whom she was later divorced, assuming her maiden name. One child, Ray, of this marriage has been living with Miss Dean's parents at Elkton, and the other Howard, 16 years old is with the husband's parents, now living in Montana it is understood. It was to make arrangements for caring for the eleven year old child here that Miss Dean came to Elkton a week ago, her father feeling that he could not care for him since his wife's death.

The Washington Herald, in yesterdays issue carried the following account of the young woman's tragic death.

Burned beyond recognition, Miss Dean's body was identified an hour later by a friend, Mrs. May Scudder, who though she was safe in an adjoining building.

Miss Dean occupied a room on the second floor in the rear. Shortly after the first alarm was sounded, Mrs. Scudder who occupied an adjoining room rushed to her bed and awakened her.

Took Time To Dress

In response to her warning, Mrs. Scudder told reporters last night, Miss Dean showed little apprehension.

"I'll be out as soon as I get dressed," Miss Dean told Mrs. Scudder as she arose.

"Just then I heard a heavy rumble outside and I feared the walls were crashing in. I rushed out of the door and a man coming by at the time grabbed me and insisted that I remain outside. I protested that I be allowed to go back and help Miss Dean, but he insisted others would take care of her. A little later I was told she had been seen on the Street," Mrs. Scudder said last night.

Stairway Had Collapsed

It is believed that Miss Dean became alarmed shortly after Mrs. Scudder left and rushed for the front stairway. She had not completed dressing as her dress was found on her bed later. The stairway collapsed about this time, and officials believe she then rushed to the third floor in hopes of reaching a front fire escape. Cut off by a blaze on this floor, it is presumed she placed her hopes on the elevator. It had been forced to stop after it's tenth trip, and before the closed gate of the shaft, Miss Dean apparently fell from suffocation by smoke. She was found in a sitting position on the stairway nearby, her body burned to a crisp.

Mrs. Scudder saw the remains an hour later at the morgue, where she had been asked to go by friends who feared the body was that of Miss Dean.

Immediate identification was made by Mrs. Scudder through some peculiar dental work in the teeth of Miss Dean and two diamond rings on her finger.

(She is the daughter of Nicholas Ashby Dean and Annie Cornelia Shifflett)

Catherine married William Oscar Templeman on 6 Sep 1900. William was born on 27 Jun 1877 in Rockingham Co., VA.

Obituary From The Greene County Record, Greene Co., VA, Mar. 15, 1934
SIGOURNEY DEANE SHIFFLETT
About 6 o'clock Feb 28, 1934, Mrs. Sigourney Shifflett of Newport News, passed peacefully away at her home. Mrs. Shifflett was the widow of G.W. Shifflett who preceded her to the grave three years ago. These people formerly lived at Lydia and later acquired a wanderlust and lived near Charlottesville, Bedford and Gordonsville, finally going to Florida, where Mr. Shifflett died. They were good people and very much missed in our community when they left. They took quite an interest in the church, schools and civic areas of the community and this writer still feels a great sympathy for the bereaved children who were once her pupils in school. Mrs. Shifflett was born 3, April 1864, near Swift Run. Her parents were Morgan and Susan Deane. Mrs. Shifflett is survived by two brothers, Snell and Daniel Deane of Elkton, and two sisters Mrs. Wesley Meadows of McMullan and Mrs. Kell Eppard of Elkton. Seven children were born to their union, one dying in infancy. Surviving are Harvey L. Shifflett and Elmer T. Shifflett of Detroit Mich; Herman W. Shifflett of Altoons Pa.; Mrs. Virginia Callahan of Lynchburg and Mrs. Maysie P. Freeman and Mrs. Violette Eldred of Newport News who was living with her mother at the time of her death. A nice letter from the oldest son, Harvey L., was appreciated very much in which he described the passing away of his mother. He said she had suffered a paralytic stroke only a few hours preceding her death, which was quite a shock to these children, all so scattered and far away that none could be with her except Violette and Maysie. May they all so live that when called away from this earthly habitation, they may meet mother in a better land free from all sorrow and pain. Mrs. Shiflett was a good kind wife and mother and was beloved by all who knew her. Mrs. Shiflett was buried by the side of her husband in Woodson Cemetery, Stanardsville. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Raleigh W. Burnett March 3 in Stanardsville Methodist Church. All her children and in-laws were present to pay their token to mother.

NOTE: Woodson Cemetery is known today as, Stanardsville Cemetery, Dates for Martha is listed as 1862 - 1935

This poem written by a friend of Sigourney Shiflett, Mrs. Ed Haney

Gone, but not forgotten.
Although you could not speak to us,
Nor could you say goodbye,
But we know your thoughts were with us
When called away to die.
The golden gates were opened,
A gentle voice said come,
And with farewells unspoken
You calmy entered home.
Nobody knows our longing,
But few have seen us weep,
We shed our tears with aching hearts
While others are asleep
Tis sweet to think we'll meet again
Where partings are no more,
And that the one we loved so well
Has only gone before

ELMER T. SHIPLETT
Former MC Chairman E. T. Shiplett Dies
Cleveland - Elmer T. Shiplett, former BLF&E General Chairman on the Michigan Central Railroad died September 2. He had been retired since 1963. A continuous member of Lodge 508 in Detroit, Michigan, since his initiation in 1917. Shiplett®s active interest in Brotherhood affairs led to his election to the office of local chairman in 1931. In this same year he was elected Secretary-Treasurer of the Michigan Central Grievance Committee. He filled both offices simultaneously until 1948. In the latter year he was elected general chairman and repeatedly succeeded himself in that office until his retirement, when he was awarded life membership in the BLF&E. In recognition of his abilities as a representative, the members of his lodge elected him a delegate to the St. Louis Convention in 1963. Shiplett was recognized as a soft-spoken but tenacious negotiator by the men whom he represented and the railroad officials with whom he bargained. An indication of the esteem in which he was held was demonstrated during the elaborate testimonial held in his behalf when he retired. Included in the large crown attending that party were numerous friends, officials of the railroad and the brotherhood, as well as countless fellow workers, all of whom applauded his attaining a well deserved retirement.

Elmer married Marie Keller in 1917. Marie was born on 22 Jan 1901 in MI and died in 1976 at age 75.

Family information states that two children were fathered by George Powell and two by Bert Morris and perhaps a daughter named Annie Florence Shiflett, born around 1872 who may have been fathered by George Powell. At this point it is only speculation as to who fathered children with Caroline.

Caroline married George Powell, son of James Chapman Powell and Nancy (Mary) Marshall, before 1864. George was born about 1846 in VA and died on 5 May 1864 about age 18. The cause of his death was Fever.

My father often spoke of his Uncle Hosie because he found him an interesting and amusing character that he was able to observe from a safe distance. Hosie's own children seemed to have no such fondness for him as they suffered much from his meanness, drunkenness, and extraordinary cheapness. Hosie was relatively well off financially (our richest relative), being the owner of numerous farms in the area which he rented out. After a fight with a neighbor, he was afraid of being sued, and put all his properties in the names of his two daughters, Bertha and Lizzie. Later, when the problem was settled, he demanded they sign the properties back to him. Bertha refused. Hosie insisted. Family history says she had her boyfriend take him out drinking, and poisoned him. At any rate, Hosie's horse carried him home after a night out drinking, stopped at the front gate of his house, and Hosie fell dead out of the saddle (that part is true for sure). Subsequently Bertha had a row with the boyfriend and he shot her seven times. She lived. (That's actual, too.) She would not split the family fortune with her siblings resulting in a rift between the brothers and sisters (Hosie's children) that was never healed. I wouldn't suggest that you put this on the Net, as their are living grandchildren of Hosie's still around. They might not appreciate it. But I thought you might enjoy this little Shifflett legend. Incidentally, June Mitchell has extensive information on this branch. Regards, Peggy Shifflett Hodgson

I don't have any record of a George Michael in my line. There was a Peter Eliaus, but he did not have a son George. There are many rumors, or stories surrounding Hosea's death. I do know for a fact that my Grandfather Hosie was at the time one of the biggest land owners in Rockingham County. He had a disagreement with his neighbor, Yancey, and hit him. Yancey then file a lawsuit against him. Hosie signed over all of his property to his oldest daughter, Bertha, to keep from losing it in the lawsuit. After the suit was settled, he wanted her to sign it back and she refused. He threatened her. One Saturday night he went to a neighbor's to get his "white Lightning" with Bertha's boyfriend, Tommy Shifflett. Hosie suddenly took ill, and died there later that night. All of his property went to Bertha & Lizzie. Hosie's other 3 children including my father received nothing. These other 3 children filed a lawsuit against Bertha and Lizzie to get their share of inheritance. I found a copy of this whole trial on the third floor of the courthouse in Harrisonburg, and copied it. Bertha & Lizzie had the better Lawyer and won the case. This all caused much dissention among the siblings and their children. I have also have newspaper clippings of Tommy Shifflett shooting Bertha 4 times and she lived and he went to prison. He claimed she wouldn't pay him money she owed him. (Maybe for helping poison Hosea?) I keep thinking; someone should write a book about all of this. Bertha's children are still living and are my cousin's, so I have to be careful talking about this. I just thought you would be interested in the story. Let me know your thoughts. June

Hosea married Lucy (Warnie) Ann Coleman, daughter of John L. Coleman and Louisa Shiflett, on 29 Dec 1895 in Greene Co., VA. Lucy was born on 5 May 1874 in Greene Co., VA, died on 7 Oct 1916 in Rockingham Co., VA at age 42, and was buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, McGaheysville, Rockingham Co., VA.

Dad was young - about 6 - when Hite and his mother (Caroline Columbia) and Hite's oldest son, stayed with my father's parents (William Ashby and Jane Eaton Shifflett) during the summer after they returned from a failed homesteading attempt somewhere out West. Dad remembered that he and his little cousin (Hite's oldest son, Leedy) would crawl under the table in the evening and listen to the "old" people talk, especially about life out West, and "how they nearly froze to death." It was after this that Hite took out for Canada, and oddly enough, it appears that he swapped kids with his wife, leaving Leedy behind this time and taking the second son, Howard Cecil with him. There was a lot of gossip about their situation and the parentage of their third son. Apparently, Hite didn't have his wife's permission to take the child, as there is some evidence that she advertised and was trying to find him. As far as I know, she never did. A descendent (from Canada) appeared at a Shifflett reunion a few years ago.

Warfield married Florence Alice Mowbray, daughter of John Mowbray and Mary Catherine Mowbray, on 23 Nov 1897 in Rockingham Co., VA. Florence was born on 19 Apr 1881 in Beldor, Rockingham Co., VA, died on 22 Apr 1973 in Rockingham Co., VA at age 92, and was buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery, Washington, D. C..

29 November 2000, From: DAVID KNIGHTING <dknighting@excite.com>
Julia's parents weren't married. Her mom was Elizabeth Shifflett, daughter of Thomas and Susan Wyant-Shifflett. Her dad was Abram Wyant. He may possibly have gone by Abram Shifflett, not too sure about that!!! Grandad only knew that Julie's dad was named Abram, sometimes he calls him Abram Shifflett. Julia died in about 1898, or during the year my great-granddad was 6. The story runs she had measles in the winter. That spring as they were digging up cabbage they had bury to store through the winter it began to rain and got real cold, she had a relapse and died. I'll send what I have on Thomas & Susan Shifflett. I have some information on the descendents of the daughter that married a Connelly. Because her daughter moved to Page Co., Va. and her descendents married into Grays and Smiths.

Julia married Zachariah Jackson Knighten, son of Meredith D. Knighten and Malinda Jane McDaniel, on 3 Oct 1867 in Rockingham Co., VA. Zachariah was born on 15 Oct 1845 in Rockingham Co., VA, died on 6 Jun 1935 in Swift Run Gap, Rockingham Co., VA at age 89, and was buried in Shifflett/Haney Cemetery, Swift Run Gap, Rockingham Co., VA.

FARMER IS HELD IN WIFE KILLING
Berkeley Woman Beaten to Death With Gun, Spade, Police Say

Martinsburg, July 16 (AP) Layton B. Shifflet, 50 years old, a tenant farmer, is in jail charged with slaying his wife, Mrs. Ann Shifflet, 36 years olk, who died of injuries police said were inflicted by her husband.
Physicians said she received a fractured skull and other injuries. Police said she had been beaten with a shotgun and a spade.
Shifflet, who was arrested at his home after the beating was reported to officers, told them he remembered nothing of the fight. Officers said he was intoxicated when arrested.
Mrs. Shifflet was found in the yard of her home after Harvey McDonald, owner of the farm, had called for help. He told investigators Shifflet chased him from the premises when he attempted to intervene.
The Shifflets had seven children, several of whom witnessed the beating of their mother and ran to McDonald's home for aid. The youngest child is six months old, the oldest 14 years.
Police said they found bloodstains in several rooms of the house and there was blood on Shifflet's clothing when he was found. After his arrest, they said, he attempted to hang himself in the Berkeley county jail. Police said the Shifflets formerly lived in Virginia.

LAYTON B. SHIFLETT HELD AS WIFE SLAYER
Martinsburg, W. VA. July 15 -- Layton B. Shiflett, 50, tenant farmer living in the Northern section of Berkeley county was in jail here today charged with first degree murder in the death of his wife, Anna, 36, who died in a local hospital late last night of a double skull fracture and other injuries. Shiflett arrested at his home where he was found asleep and intoxicated on a couch today said he could not remember anything that happened at the home yesterday afternoon. The woman was found in the yard at the home by officers who were called by Harvey McDonald owner of the farm, after he had been chased from the home by Shifflett. Children of the couple witnessing the alleged fatal beating of their mother in which Shiflett is said to have used the butt and barrel of a shotgun and a spade, had to run to McDonald for aid. Officers said they found blood in every room of the house, plaster knocked off and the home generally showing the effects of a raging attack. Mrs. Shiflett's body was bruised and bloody, Shiflett's clothing was also bloody.
The woman was rushed to a hospital here by officers and died within an hour. An autopsy later showed the double skull fracture at the base and side, causing death. Shiflett, it was learned, tried to hang himself last night by tearing up a shirt in his cell. He was in tears today when questioned at police headquarters and begged to be permitted to see the body of his wife. The family came here from Virginia originally. They have seven children, the youngest aged six months, the oldest 14 years. Two years ago officers were called to the Shiflett home on complaint that he had shot Sailor Spitler, a neighbor who had gone to the Shiflett home as a result of appeals for aid. Shiflett at that time bit one of the investigators.

GUILTY PLEA BY SHIFLETT; HE GETS LIFE
Martinsburg, W. VA. --- Pleading guilty to the murder of his wife, Anna, 36 last July, Layton Shiflett, 50, was sentenced to life imprisonment in the State Penitentiary by Judge Rogers in Circuit Court here Wednesday. Shiflett, accused of beating his wife to death in a drunken rage heard the indictment read by Circuit Clerk W. C. Morton. When Mr. Morton finished, Shiflett said in a low tone; "I feel that I'm guilty." He repeated the remark later, definitely acknowledging himself "guilty." Judge Roberts informed the prisoner that he had acted wisely for had the details of the crime been bared to a jury it was the court's opinion that hanging would have been ordered. The court room was crowded with spectators who apparently expected Shiflett would go on trail. Evidence following Shiflett's arrest revealed the attack followed a visit to this city where he became intoxicated. When officers arrived at the home they found Mrs. Shiflett's battered body in the yard and Shiflett in a stupor.

Comments:
Would like to find any information on Layton Braxton Shifflett, born Augest 23, 1884, married Lucy Dean, children, Nettie, Earnest, Julia. Divorce date unknown. Married Anna Haney, March 12,1920, children, Clyde,Lorraine,Mable,Mary Elizabeth,Annie Virginia, Josephine, and Florence. I am Annie's oldest daughter. My uncle Clyde, (Happy) died a few years back somewhere in California. Annie, (my mother) and her sister Mable, reside in Indiana. I believe Aunt Jo lives in Maryland. I have not been able to locate Mary Elizabeths family and have no idea what ever happened to Florence as she was removed from the family as a small child. Lorraine died in an auto accident in the late 50's or early 60's, she had one daughter named Pasty. My grandparents, Layton and Anna Shifflett lived on McDonald farm near or in Martinsburg, W. Va. Last known address of Florence, London, W Va. Known friends of Layton and Anna, Kenneth Jacobs, son of Thomas Jacobs. Any information would be helpful.

Posted by: Charlene J. Date: April 07, 2000 email: charp02@wbtv.net
The children were seperated and raised by different family members, though I'm not sure which. Annie, Josephine and I believe Mable, lived with their Uncle Raymond and Aunt Sadie, (Laytons twin) on MacDonalds farm somewhere around Martinsburg.

Charles R. Wright died of pneumonia, Wednesday, after an illness of only ten days. He was well known in this section, being the engineer for David Blaine's thrashing outfit. He formerly resided in the vicinity of Brooklyn. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn his taking away. He was a member of the Woodmen lodge here and his folks will receive $2000 - a very wise provision on the part of a thoughtful husband and father.

The daughter of Robert Harold Shiflet and Dolores Evenlyn Danforth. I am the granddaughter of Carlton Albert Shiflet and Irene Hadley. I am the great granddaughter of Herbert Albert Shiflet. He left Shiflet's Hollow in the late 1800's and moved to Hagerstown. He was the son of Samuel McDowell Shiflet (2nd) marriage. Upon the death of my great grandfather the family came to Baltimore and took his body back to the Hollow for burial.
I really have very little information because my father died when I was only 3 years old. I am still looking for more information on the family so if anyone has any idea's I would be very grateful to hear from you.

Herbert married Anna Nancy Myers, daughter of Emanuel Myers and Sarah Unknown, about 1901. Anna was born on 31 Jul 1870 in MD, died in Sep 1955 at age 85, and was buried on 20 Sep 1955 in Lorraine Park Cemetery, Woodlawn, Baltimore Co., MD.

Alberta seems to think that Albert's father may have been Thomas J. Shiflet(t) but she is not sure. She told me that Charles F. used to refer to his grandfather as "Jack the Lumber Jack". She doesn't know why but maybe Thomas's middle initial "J" stands for Jack or John. Maybe some connection but not sure. Another tidbit that Alberta told me is that when Anna was asked about Mr. Shiflet, her husband, which ever one that would have been she would never talk about him. Dawn Rogers Shiflet

Anna's 1st marriage was to Thomas J. Shiflet, 2nd marriage to George Zimmerman. Anna is listed on a tombstone in Rose Hill Cemetery in Hagerstown with her 2nd husband George Zimmerman (where he is buried) but she is actually buried at Lorraine Cemetery in Baltimore County with her son, Albert and his wife Irene along with Irene's father Charles Hadley. Anna and Charles both moved to Baltimore to live with Albert and Irene in their elder years. After the death of Albert, reason unknown, Irene had Anna buried in one of the four plots that they owned in Lorraine Cemetery. There is no tombstone at Lorraine Cemetery for either of the four that are buried ther

TRIES TO MEND AUTO HORN AS HE DROVE, WRECK
Negro Held In Collateral, Failing To Keep To Right; Three Hurt
An automobile horn that refused to stop blowing was the indirect cause of a head-on collision on the Baltimore-Frederick highway Friday afternoon, in which three men were injured and two cars badly damaged. The accident occurred about 2:45 o®clock near Mt. Carmel. The injured were: A. J. Riverpomb, Millboro, Va., several broken ribs; H. M. Shiflett, Swoop, Va., lacerations on left arm and head and his father, W. J. Shiflett, 79 years old, broken nose and lacerations about the face. They were brought to the office of Dr. Hamilton J. Slusher, 7 East Church street, where their injuries were dresses and afterward left on the 6 o®clock bus for their homes in Virginia. According to an investigation by State Officer M. D. Brubaker, the accident was caused by the negligence of William Whiten, colored, 153 West All Saints street. Whiten, it was said, was driving east on the Baltimore pike, in a Studebaker sedan, accompanied by his wife. He said that his horn suddenly started to blow and all efforts to stop it proved unavailing. While attempting to remedy the horn situation. Whiten transferred his attention from the road ahead to his automobile and the Studebaker, veering to the left side of the highway, crashed head-on into a Ford sedan, driven by H. M. Shiflett. The impact hurled the Ford over an embankment on the left side of the road. It rolled over several times, before coming to a stop on its side. The Studebaker also went over the embankment and crashed into a mud-bank, wrecking the front of the car. The Studebaker was nearly demolished, it was said. Passing automobiles brought the injured to Dr. Slusher®s office, where their injuries were dressed. A fourth occupant of the Ford whose name was unknown, sustained injuries to the head and was also treated. In the meantime, Officer Brubaker arrived and placed Whiten under arrest on a charge of failing to keep to the right of the center of the highway. Whiten was released under $10 collateral for a hearing in people®s Court soon. The two-damaged automobile were hauled to garages in this city. The injured men were on their way from Baltimore to their Virginia homes, and continued their trip via bus. Whiten and his wife were unhurt in the crash, it was said.

William married Elnora Martha Knott, daughter of William Markwood Knott and Mary Margaret Huffman, on 18 Oct 1885 in Augusta Co., VA. Elnora was born on 1 Mar 1867 in Mt. Solon, Augusta Co., VA and died on 8 Sep 1946 at age 79.

L. MCNABB
L. McNabb, wife of Edward Shifflet and daughter of James H. McNabb, died 28 Nov 1934 in Iowa. She married Edward 4 Jan 1894. "Mrs. Shifflet's early life was spent near Delta. Her health broke down in 1928, and in 1932 she had a paralytic stroke which caused her to be an invalid until her death. She was united with the Methodist Church when a young girl; and lived her life in such a way that those knowing her knew her as a good, kind and pleasant friend, as well as a very kind and loving mother, always forgetful of her own pains and sorrows to lend a helping hand to those near her. The smile with which she always greeted her many friends will be missed by those who have learned to know and love her." She was 66 years, 11 months, and 12 days old. Funeral services were held at the M.E. Church with Rev. V. A. Bloomquist officiating.

Civil War Veterans To Gather
PITTSBURGH, Aug. 14 (U.P) - The time-thinned ranks of the "Boys in Blue" will rally once again to swap tales of Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Appomattox, and the days of 1861 at the annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic here Aug. 27. Fewer than 600 Union veterans of the Civil War are expected to answer the call, but Joint sessions of five affiliated patriotic organizations will swell the ranks of the visitors to an expected 10,000. Of the regiments which marked for the Union nearly three-quarters of a century ago, only 3616 were living on June 1, according to veterans pension bureau figures, with the number being decreased by death at the rate of 100 to 150 a month. Led by Commander-in-Chief Robert M. Rownd, 94, of Brooklyn, N. Y., the little band of survivors will assemble round the stacked arms, knapsack and canteen, symbol of the G. A. R., to participate in memorial services for their dead companions.
AUXILIARY GROUPS TO JOIN
Joining in the ceremonies will be delegates of the Women's Relief Corps, Sons of Union Veterans, Auxiliary f the Sons of Union Veterans, Ladies of the G. A. R., and daughters of Union Veterans. When the old veterans parade in review, they will join forces with the mobilized Pennsylvania National Guard, units of the U. S. Naval Reserve, a detachment of the crack 12th infantry of the U. S. Army, the U. S. Marine band, delegates of their affiliated organizations, and all veterans' groups. Convention headquarters reported that plans to provide transportation for the G. A. R. men had met with vigorous opposition from members, who declared, "We will march." Typical spirit of the old soldiers was revealed in a letter to headquarters from R. H. Shifflett, Long Beach, Cal., veteran, who told of saving the dollars from his pension that he might travel to Pittsburgh for "my last encampment."

Noted events in his life were:

• He served in the military Union Army, Company E, 114th Illinois Infantry.

DELLA EMMA SHIFFLETT GITTINS
Mrs. W.J. Gittins Dies at Her Home in Wright Township - Funeral Sunday Afternoon. Della Emma, only child of R.H. and Lucinda Shifflett, was born in Christian County, Ill, June 7, 1874; died at her home in Wright township, Pottawatomie County, Iowa, nine miles east of Oakland, Friday afternoon, April 7, 1933, at the age of 58 years and 10 months. She came with her parents to Iowa in 1881, when she was seven years of age. The parents settled on their farm near Elliott. Here she attended school and grew to lovely womanhood. She was united in marriage to W.J. Gittins at Atlantic August 28, 1895. This union was blessed with two children, Theron R. Gittins of Milwaukee, Wis., and Harlan Gittins of Anita. Following her marriage she and husband resided on their farm, four miles south of Griswold, for a period of 27 years, when they removed to Wright township. She was a good woman, devoted to her home and loved ones, having the love and esteem of all who knew her. She possessed in a large degree those beautiful traits of womanly character that endeared her to all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. Her illness, ending in death, dates back to Easter Sunday, 1932. From that time till September she was under the physician's care. She entered the Methodist hospital in Omaha in July, where she remained till September, since which time her health had gradually improved. March 31 she was taken ill with intestinal flu and because of her long illness did not have sufficient strength to overcome the illness. She suffered intensely and death came as a sweet release. Besides the husband and sons she is survived by the grandchildren - Kathryn and Ruth Jean, daughters of Theron Gittins (Katheryn, from the time she was two years old had made her home with her grandparents), and Betty Joan, little daughter of Harlan Gittins; father, R.H. Shifflett, Long Beach, Calif., other relatives and a great host of friends. Funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon, conducted by P.H. Green. Favorite hymns were sung by a mixed quartet composed of Mrs. Harry Denton, Mrs. George Anderson, Walter Busse and Chris Peterson. The pallbearers were George Anderson, Harry Denton, Ral Williams, George Busse, Bert Bruen and Virgil Brock. The body was taken to Loman cemetery, near her old home, for interment. A short service was held at Loman chapel.

Della married William James Gittins, son of William Gittins and Isabella Dines, on 28 Aug 1895 in Atlantic, Cass Co., IA. William was born on 25 Aug 1870 in Monroe Co., IA and died on 25 Aug 1955 at age 85.

Hello Jody-
It was very interesting to read your research and it is mysterious and fascinating to wonder how Shiflett became Shefflette for our part of the family. My paternal grandfather, Ellery Fred Shefflette, was an unknown person to us, since he left my father's family after his wife died and my father has no recollection of him from his childhood. We have often wondered about his life and realize he had a lot of sadness, losing two wives and at least two children.

My name at birth was Joan Louise Shefflette, youngest child of Patrick Alfred Shefflette and Lois Ann Chapin, and received a copy of your e-mail sent to my brother Robert Patrick Shefflette, which he forwarded to our sister Nancy Anne Shefflette. Nancy is the one in our part of the family who has been researching the family tree also.

I was born on November 19, 1954, in Pasadena, California (Los Angeles County.

I married Durward Kelly Colgrove on February 16, 1977 (My husband goes by his middle name, Kelly, and he was born on May 13, 1942)

We have one son, Quentin Patrick Colgrove, born in Colorado Springs, Colorado on May 29, 1980

In 2008, Quentin married Keri Hearon (no middle initial)

Quentin and Keri have one daughter, Ava Mary Colgrove, born November 5, 2008

For now, that is the sum of my branch of20the family tree.

One common trait across our family, in addition to loving a lively discussion (OK, argument might be more like it), seems to be the love of dogs. So, if we learn that the Shiflett's share that love, also, it would be very interesting!

All the best to you in your research. I would think that my sister Nancy can be of assistance to you, and that perhaps some more headway can be made.

Best regards!
Joan Colgrove

Now according to my dad Fred Shefflette - he remembers Ellery telling him that he (Ellery) served in WW1 in the Canadian Forces -- with his brother. So if there is a brother (our great uncle) out there somewhere - who knows we have had a hard enough time finding any info about Ellery . And I have no clue how to search Canadian Records for WW One. So far other than the one 1900 Soundex is all I have found and on the other papers I sent you show George Shefflett - New Orleans, LA or France and Emma Rhodes in Iowa.

Octave Nelson Shiflett died Saturday night, April 29, 1933 at his home near Shelby. He was paralyzed April 21 while about his farm duties. At times he seemed to rally temporarily from the stroke, and there was hope of his recovery, as he was conscious and cheerful, until Saturday morning when he took a turn for the worst and lapsed into unconsciousness and passed away about 9 o'clock. All the children were at his bedside except his son, Herbert, who is a patient in Walter Reed hospital, Washington. Mr. Shiflett was a leading farmer of Madison County. He was active and industrious, a good manager and in independent of circumstances. He had an equitable temperment which permitted him to accept conditions as they arose. He never complained when yields were poor or prices low. He was intensely devoted to his family and fond of home and farm life. He was hospitable to a high degree and those who came under his rooftree were welcome with warmth which will always be with them. Unassuming he occupied a strong position within Madison Citizenry. he was good hearted and loyal to his family and his friends. Worthy trails of character predominated with him. Mr. Shiflett was a helpful member of Bethel Methodist church, Rochelle, for many years. Mr. Shiflett was born Feb. 7, 1859 and was therefore 74 years ? months and 22 days old.

His funeral Monday afternoon drew together a tremendous concourse from not only Madison and Greene, but adjourning counties as well. It was held at Bethel church. While the funeral cortege leaving the home was long already a great crowd had gathered at the church. This testified to the great esteem in which Mr. Shiflett was held in life.

I had a hard time finding the marriage certificate for Bascom and Louise. In the marriage register, I found a Bourley Garrison marrying a Bessie Garrison. Or at least it looked like Bourley. One of the marriage books translated it as Bausley Garrison. Then a fellow Garrison researcher told me Bascom's nickname was Balsey. I went back and looked at the marriage register again. His parents are listed as "D. G. & T. G.". Her father is listed as "Ryland". The only children of these parents that fit this description are Bascom and Louise. I think this is their marriage information. Margaret Garrison Stavitski

Email from Cathy Phillips, Oct. 17, 2010
Hi Bob,
Thank you for the information on the child Robert Lee. I did not have that information. As for their children, I know that Amanda had George Minor II born Dec. 25, 1917 in Savage, Maryland and died January 1, 1972 in Elkton, Virginia per Social Security Death Index. This George married Virginia Louise Wood on Dec. 21, 1938 in Ellicott City, Maryland and they had 5 children of which 3 are living. I spoke to Virginia's granddaughter back in September 2006 and Virginia was still living. It is a little odd that George was born Dec. 25, 1917 and the child Robert Lee was born March 7, 1917 but it is possible.

Another son Arthur Jackson "Jack" Shifflett was born October 29, 1920 in Flint, Randolph Co., West Virginia and died September 8, 2010 in York Springs, Pennsylvania. I spoke to Jack's daughter while she was home visiting her father back in July 2009 and she asked Jack questions and would tell me what he said because he was very hard of hearing especially on the telephone. Jack married Catherine Mary Potee and they had ten children. Catherine is on your obit list for unknown Shifflett's. Catherine was born May 11, 1924 in Laurel, Maryland and died March 22, 2006 in Hanover, Pennsylvania.

Jack told his daughter and she told me that he had a baby sister. Jack said that when Amanda left the family that Lee did not think that he could take care of a baby girl and left her with a woman he knew who had a daughter about the same age. Jack said that Lee took he and his brother George with him.

I had been told by family that Amanda married George Virgil Hawley. I also had been told that Amanda had a son Bernard that was killed in an auto accident. I did not know who Bernard's father was so I used the last name of Coleman. However, yesterday I found the cemetery where Amanda was buried and it had E. Bernard "Jug" Harwley born December 17, 1938 and died December 19, 1959 buried beside of her. Also, I know that there was a George Virgil Hawley, son of Samuel and Betty Hawley living next door to William Hiden's family in one of the census records. The funny thing is that George's sister Daisy married a man and lived in Bemis and I knew them as a child. Lee and Amanda lived in Bemis in the 1920 census, I believe. Anyway, the last name is Hawley but Amanda's obit has Amanda Harwley which I thought was a typo in the newspaper, BUT.... the tombstone also has Harwley on Amanda and Bernard. George's father Samuel did time in the pennitenary for killing a man. Who knows maybe he changed the spelling of his name or he didn't know how to read and write and his name got changed for him.

Now for Irene and Margaret. I believe that Jack and his daughter were the ones who gave me the name of Margaret for the little girl she had with Lee. Amanda's obit has her survived by a daughter Irene Armentrout in Keezletown, Virginia. I looked up Irene Armentrout in Keezletown, Virginia and found a Irene M. Armentrout. She could very well be Irene Margaret. I have written a letter to this Irene M. Armentrout which will go out in the mail today to ascertain if she is the daughter of Amanda. I am hoping that she or a member of her family can shed some light on this matter. If Irene is Lee and Amanda's daughter, the only child she may have had with George would be Bernard. I still do not know when and where Lee died.

Another thing, Jack said that his father's name was Robert Lee Shifflett. Although I have never seen it written as Robert Lee, he may be right. I will let you know when I get some more answers.

Cathy

Hi Bob,
Below is some information on Lee Shifflett and Amanda Catherine Coleman's son Arthur Jackson Shifflett. Jack went by Jack Arthur Shifflett instead of Arthur Jackson Shifflett which is on his birth record (see below). Jack died September 8, 2010 at his home in York
Springs, Pa. The obit has him born in Harrisonburg, Virginia which is incorrect. Also it lists his mother as Mandy Harding. Amanda went by "Mandy" and her second husband was George Virgil Harwley not Harding. Amanda was divorced from both Lee Shifflett and George Harwley. Also it is believed that Lee's real name was Robert Lee and that he died in Baltimore, Maryland. I have been searching for a death record in Baltimore, but have not found one yet.

E-mail from Cathy Shifflett Phillips: Tuesday, August 12, 2008 <philly330@verizon.net>
Hi Craig,
It is good to hear from you again. I grew up in Bemis and still go there on some weekends in the summer months. I now live in Elkins which is about 25 miles from Bemis. My dad still runs a grocery store in Bemis on weekends also.
I agree with you that we will just have to take Lee's birthdate from the WWI Draft Registration and hope that it is correct.
Also on your email yesterday about the daughter of Lee and Amanda. I spoke to Margaret Shifflett Sentous who is the daughter of Arthur Jackson "Jack" Shifflett (Lee and Amanda's son) in February of this year when her sister passed away. I had written a letter to Jack many months before. He is elderly and has hearing problems and cannot hear on the telephone very well. When his daughter died and the family came in for the funeral, he shared my letter with them. One of the daughter's called me and we talked about the family. Unfortunately they did not know a great deal BUT...... Jack did answer the question about the daughter for me. I had found her on the census also and wondered about her.
According to Jack, his sister Margaret was very young when her mother left the family. Lee felt that he could not care for a young daughter and placed her in the home of a friend Katie Bennett. Katie had a daughter about the same age. Jack said that he thought that Katie lived in Akron, Ohio.
Apparently Lee and Amanda divorced because they believed that she remarried but did not know anything else.
I wish I knew if the family was living in Bemis when he gave the daughter to Katie. I may check the census records and ask someone locally if they knew a Katie Bennett in the Bemis area. I do not know that name but there was so many families that lived in that area for a short time and moved on when the mines and lumber business closed down.

I also have a birthdate issue with Mary Ann "Sis" Shifflett (Lee's sister) who married Ellis Wood. I have her birthdate as September 1897 according to the 1900 Rockingham Co. census. However her obit dated on March 10, 1967 states that she is 66 years of age. Her marriage record states that she is 22 years of age on October 20, 1920.

Well I have to go for now.
Cathy

Robert Lee Shifflett buried in a Potter's Cemetery in Baltimore
Cathy Phillips
Robert Lee Shifflett was born May 29 1897 in Rockingham Co., Virginia. He went by Lee most of his life. I do not know when he died but his granddaughter said that her mother told her that he was buried in a Potter's cemetery in Baltimore because the family had no money. Does anyone know where such a Potter's Cemetery would be located and if there is any way to search for the grave through the internet or by contacting the cemetery personnel.

Amanda next married George Virgil Harwley in 1926. George died about 1948.

George Robert and Lillie Coleman Herring .
Submitted by Jeanette Pryor

George and Lillie were married in a snowstorm on Christmas Day, 1921 at the William and Delia Lawson Coleman homeplace in Beldor Hollow Rockingham, Co, VA. My Great-Aunt Nora said that she was in attendance and she remembered that the preacher had to rush through it in order to get to another wedding on the same day. She said the bride and groom looked like children. They took up housekeeping in the house near the summit of Simmons Gap, owned by Charlie Begoon, in exchange for taking care of the cattle on the place for him. The land was mostly pasture or farms by that time. They built a sturdy wooden floor for living quarters above the stone entry level basement-foundation,while they conducted business in the bottom level of the first store in Simmons Gap. The goods sold were the things that the local people couldn't produce or make themselves: lamp oil ( kerosene), sugar, and tobacco. For special orders, he would hike, take his mule, or later drive his truck over the mountains to Elkton, VA..

The first four children of George and Lillie Herring were born in the house previously occupied by Old Lady Caroline and her son, John Lawson. This property was located at the top of the mountain of the Simmons Gap and the house could have stood either in Greene or Rockingham counties. My aunt remembers a white picket fence and a gate outside the house. My mother's birth certificate listed her birthplace as Greene County, VA. But births were logged in at the nearest post office, in this case, Sullivan in Greene County..

Then they purchased 26 acres of land , including a house and barn and crick, at Simmons Gap. Lillie and George, with the help of his parents, Noah Clark and Ellie Frazier Herring, built the first store in the fall of 1928 at Simmons Gap, right along the roadway. The store also became a U.S. Post Office. .

Great-Aunt Nora told me that my mother was a quiet baby who was left in her crib. Finally, one day, her grandfather, Noah Herring, decided that it was high time that she was walking. So he held her up by the hands and danced her around on his shoes. My great aunt said that Genevieve learned to dance before she could walk. Noah was known in the county to be a great one for the dance floor, but no one ever saw his wife, Ellie, dancing..

Mom told me that her father had played the fiddle and that when she was little, she would always dance around on the wooden floors of her father's store. Sometimes someone would throw down a penny to her..

After she passed away, I found her scrapbook and there were several coins taped onto the pages with the names of those who had given them to her. One 1886 Indian head penny and one store token (labeled Thos. P. Yager, Inc. Gen'l Mds Cross Keys and Penn Laird Va) were "souvenirs of Charley Maggon (Beggoon), friend of my fathers, given to me when I was a little girl." There was also a 1937 Lincoln penny from Wilbur Noltz and a 1919 penny from James Hall, brother to Mom's best friend, Mary. From several accounts, Mom had had a schoolgirl crush on James and even wrote to him while he was serving in WW II..

George Herring's fiddle, the fancy one that he went to West Virginia to buy, is in the possession of his only nephew's family..

Sometime earlier, while in or after the third grade Genevieve had developed cataracts in her eyes after a particularly bad case of the German Measles. It was said that the doctor had her kept in a darkened room for over six months until her grandfather, Noah Herring, declared the treatment to be useless and said to let her go out. She did not go back to school at that time..

Their property, Lot #158, was taken by the Park for the sum of $1,800. Both George and his father Noah Herring, who also lost his property, Lot#240 in Rockingham Co., VA., went to court to obtain the amount that they finally received for their homes and land..

After loosing their homeplace, barn, store, and autumn harvest to the Park, the family bought a place in Albemarle County near the Green County line. My aunt said that she remembered her mother going by wagon all the way over to Charlottesville with such things as butter, eggs, and berries to sell to the city folk..

Mom told us that her father kept a moonshine still up on the mountain when they lived there. She said that she was the only one who knew where it was so that if anyone asked the rest of the family where it was, they wouldn't be able to tell. Her mother would send her to get her father in time for dinner. My aunt, two years older, said that her father drank quite a bit. His sister, Nora, said that he did not..

During a bleak period of alcoholic depression, including several hospitalizations in Charlottesville, over having lost his property on the mountain and with little way to make as good a living on a farm in the Depression, George shot himself. His wife and family had hidden all the guns and ammunition, but somehow he got ahold of a shotgun. He had spent the last $500 being held for the interest payment on the home, leaving his family broke. His young children discovered his body with the head nearly blown off on a bed in the house. His mother, Ellie Frazier Herring, swooned when she saw him. Lillie was left in the middle of the Depression with six mouths to feed. Her in-laws housed them one winter. During these years, Genevieve, remembered a winter in which her family had nothing to eat but corn gruel. She would never again touch grits, even though she made a mean cornbread in an iron skillet..

Lillie then married Noah Shifflett and soon had another child. He was an abusive husband and finally cut her arm with a knife during a fight. She left him and went to Pennsylvania in search of work. The children were left with whomever would take them in. Junior stayed with his Aunt Nora for a time . The two much younger and fair-haired sisters were taken in, but one's adopted mother died shortly thereafter and the girl had to be given again to another household. Genevieve, taking care of her baby half sister, was taken in by her stepfather's grandparents, McClellan and Louisa Shiflett. She needed eye surgery, foot surgery, and was not allowed to go to school. Eventually, some of the children ended up with Lillie in Pennsylvania..

Two accounts have my mother being treated there like an unpaid servant or slave, while two accounts said that the Shiflets were kindly folks. Mom said that the only thing that she ever missed when she left Virginia was that dear little baby. A blond lock of hair bound with a faded red ribbon from the baby, nicknamed "Little Lillie" was also found in Mom's scrapebook. My mother kept every scrap or remnant as a momento..

At the age of about 14, her uncle, Joseph Coleman and his wife, Easter, went down to Virginia and brought her back with them to live with them and their family in Sabillasville, MD. Granddad Coleman always said that they "had rescued" my Mom from where she was staying in Virginia..

Joe and the local principal of the one-room schoolhouse tutored my mother, got her the needed eye and bunion surgery, so she could enter Thurmont High School, Frederick County, MD. At the age of twenty-one, my mother finally realized her childhood ambition to finish her education with a high school diploma. We always considered Joe and Easter as grandparents and their children as our aunts and uncles..

My father and his family had always lived in Sabillasville. Dad, as well as his family, said that he never had any other girlfriend than my mother. Genevieve's five-year diary, kept while living at the Colemans', revealed that she had already decided on my Dad, even though other boys would come over to the Coleman place to visit with the girls on the porch. Grandmaw Coleman was strict and always kept a close eye on any boys who would drop by. Dancing and the playing of music was forbidden by her religion. Despite that, Mom was always known as a great dancer when music was available at the drugstore after school.

Private Joseph F. Bushey and Ray E. Oberheim, of the Gettysburg detail of the state motor police, spent six hours Saturday evening searching upper county woods and roads for Noah Shiflett, formerly of Virginia, who was reported to have fired a shot at his estranged wife as the latter entered the rear door of her home, Aspers R. D. Mrs. Lillie Shiflett, also formerly of Virginia, reported that a revolver shot was fired at her from a cornfield close to her home but that she escaped injury. She blamed her husband for whom she previously had a surety of the peace warrant issues last week after he had appeared near the house but was frightened away. After the shot was fired at Mrs. Shiflett, her daughter, ?__? reported, fired two blasts from a shotgun into the cornfield. They also, apparently did not take effect. Officers say Shiflett has been seen traveling in a Virginia-licensed car in the company of another man during the last week or two.

HUSBADN HELD IN SHOOTING OF WOMAN 33
Man Also Faces Other Charges In Street Corner Gun Blast
Noah Thomas Shifflett, 40, estranged husband of a young mother who was cut down on a street corner near her home Saturday night by a point-blank shotgun blast, was arrested early yesterday at the home of a friend. Shifflett, object of a city-wide search for several hours after the shooting, was charged with shooting his wife with intent to kill her, wounding a 7-year-old by-stander with a stray shotgun pellet, possession of a deadly weapon and unlawfully discharging a firearm. Meanwhile the victim, Mrs. Ruby Shifflett, 33, of the 1300 block of Bunsen way, was reported in "fair" condition at City Hospitals. Her abdomen was, ripped open by the shotgun charge.
No Resistance
The husband was arrested at 12:45 A M. yesterday at a house in the 700 block of South Port street Sergt. Joseph Heming, who made the pickup, said the man offered no resistance. The sergeant said Shifflett led him and Patrolmen Edward Steig and Randall Mallon to a field at the Broening highway and Holabird avenue, where a single-barreled, .12-gauge shotgun was recovered. Shifflett also surrendered three unfired shells, the sergeant said.
Shifflett accused of forcing his way into the home of his estranged wife Saturday night while their four children watched television in the living room. Mrs. Shifflett fled down Gusryan street. Her husband is alleged to have overtaken her at Gusryan and Boston streets, where the shooting occurred
Hearing Scheduled
Also injured by the blast was Donna Smith, 7, of the 6200 block of Fortview way. A stray pellet grazed her right ankle. At the hospital Mrs. Shifflett told police that her husband had been to the house about an hour before the shooting and threatened to kill her if she did not take him back. Mr. Shifflett is scheduled for a hearing on the charges against him in Eastern Police Court this morning. Police said they will ask for a postponement until such time as Mrs. Shifflett is able to attend the hearing.

My father often spoke of his Uncle Hosie because he found him an interesting and amusing character that he was able to observe from a safe distance. Hosie's own children seemed to have no such fondness for him as they suffered much from his meanness, drunkenness, and extraordinary cheapness. Hosie was relatively well off financially (our richest relative), being the owner of numerous farms in the area which he rented out. After a fight with a neighbor, he was afraid of being sued, and put all his properties in the names of his two daughters, Bertha and Lizzie. Later, when the problem was settled, he demanded they sign the properties back to him. Bertha refused. Hosie insisted. Family history says she had her boyfriend take him out drinking, and poisoned him. At any rate, Hosie's horse carried him home after a night out drinking, stopped at the front gate of his house, and Hosie fell dead out of the saddle (that part is true for sure). Subsequently Bertha had a row with the boyfriend and he shot her seven times. She lived. (That's actual, too.) She would not split the family fortune with her siblings resulting in a rift between the brothers and sisters (Hosie's children) that was never healed. I wouldn't suggest that you put this on the Net, as their are living grandchildren of Hosie's still around. They might not appreciate it. But I thought you might enjoy this little Shifflett legend. Incidentally, June Mitchell has extensive information on this branch. Regards, Peggy Shifflett Hodgson

I don't have any record of a George Michael in my line. There was a Peter Eliaus, but he did not have a son George. There are many rumors, or stories surrounding Hosea's death. I do know for a fact that my Grandfather Hosie was at the time one of the biggest land owners in Rockingham County. He had a disagreement with his neighbor, Yancey, and hit him. Yancey then file a lawsuit against him. Hosie signed over all of his property to his oldest daughter, Bertha, to keep from losing it in the lawsuit. After the suit was settled, he wanted her to sign it back and she refused. He threatened her. One Saturday night he went to a neighbor's to get his "white Lightning" with Bertha's boyfriend, Tommy Shifflett. Hosie suddenly took ill, and died there later that night. All of his property went to Bertha & Lizzie. Hosie's other 3 children including my father received nothing. These other 3 children filed a lawsuit against Bertha and Lizzie to get their share of inheritance. I found a copy of this whole trial on the third floor of the courthouse in Harrisonburg, and copied it. Bertha & Lizzie had the better Lawyer and won the case. This all caused much dissention among the siblings and their children. I have also have newspaper clippings of Tommy Shifflett shooting Bertha 4 times and she lived and he went to prison. He claimed she wouldn't pay him money she owed him. (Maybe for helping poison Hosea?) I keep thinking; someone should write a book about all of this. Bertha's children are still living and are my cousin's, so I have to be careful talking about this. I just thought you would be interested in the story. Let me know your thoughts. June

1998, From Jollett Family home page,
James Franklin Jollett of Harriston, Augusta County, a brother of the late Rev. John W. Jollett, of Jollett, this county [Page], and the father of Mrs. A. J. [Emma] Coleman, Mrs. W. J. [Laura] Sullivan, Mrs. D. B.[Victoria] Breeden, Mrs. Sallie Clift, and Mrs. W. B.[Mary] Davis, of Shenandoah, this county [Page], passed away at his home at 2 A.M., on Tuesday in his 94th year. He had been in declining health for some time on account of the infirmities of age, but was confined to his bed for only a few days before the end, which came peacefully.
In previous years the News and Courier has reported a number of family gatherings held to celebrate successive birthdays of this remarkable old gentleman, who retained his faculties and his capacity to enjoy life far past the allotted time of man. He was ninety-three years old last November. Mr. Jollett was a man of marked Christian character, who drew constant joy and inspiration from his religion, and was a devout and useful member of the Brethren church during his long, useful life. He was born in Greene county and during his earlier manhood moved to Augusta, where he operated his little farm near Harriston for many years, enjoying peace and contentment and the highest regard of his neighbors. His first wife[Lucy Ann Shiflett Jollett] was from Greene county, the second wife [Eliza Coleman], now his widow, from Augusta. All of his children are from the first union. To the list of those at Shenandoah are to be added B. L. Jollett, of Greene County, U. S. Jollett, of Baltimore, and Mrs. Leanna Knight of Nortonsville, VA. There was a general exodus of all the Shenandoah relationship to attend the funeral which was held from the Brethren church at Harriston and was attended by all of the children.

Vessie Jollett Steppe remembers her grandfather as a loving man who enjoyed his grandchildren. He often held several on his lap at one time. He looked forward to their visits and to all their childhood games and pranks. He found their antics amusing even when Eliza didn't agree. Eliza was a good grandmother to her step-grandchildren, but not affectionate like Grandpap. Grandpap would cry with joy when company came and cry when they left. Both are buried in the Harriston United Methodist Church cemetery in Harriston, Augusta County, VA.

He drowned. On the day he died, he and his father were on the way to the train station to meet Eliza who was returning home after being away visiting family.

Roger Shifflett is in possession of Douglas's drivers license which lists his name as George Edwin Shiflett.
The Name change, The story that my aunt tells is that once Kate Died he was adopted by a family in Covington and apparently they called him George Edwin. At some point he reconnected with his Brother Hiram and started using his given name. I do not know why he still had that name on his drivers license. as you can see the car registration is in Douglas. Hiram named one of his sons after my Grandpa. Do you have information on the son he had with Lucille. His name was also Douglas, he lived in Ohio and is Buried there.
I will try and get the Death certificate and send you a copy.
Let me know if you need anything else.

From Shiflett website: http://www.shifletfamily.org/FC/hiram.html
On the 1880 Greene County Census living in Permelia and John Shifflett's household was Judie J., their daughter, and William Mallory, their son-in-law, and Judie's husband. There is also a marriage record in Greene County for William Mallory and Judy J. Shifflett. The first time I saw it, it really blew my mind, and then I noticed that it was the same date she supposedly married James Buchanan Raines. I've always been told by my elders that Mittie Cline and Judy J. were sisters. James Buchanan Raines was the illegitimate child of America Raines and some man with the last name of Williams. America later married John Mallory. All of this brings me to the conclusion that my great grandfather James Buchanan Raines at some time in his life used his real father's last name combined with his step father's last name for a few years. In other words, Mallory and James Buchanan Raines are the same person. Whether or not he was ever officially adopted by John Mallory, I do not know, but as he grew older and had kids of his own he used his real name.

Obituary From The Greene County Record, Stanardsville, VA, Thu, May 9, 1929
CARRIE LEE SHIFLETT
Mrs. Carrie Lee Shiflett - Friday, April 12, 1929, a tragedy occurred at the home of the late William S. Shiflett, took her own life, Mrs. Shifflett®s health had been failing for sometime and still being worried over the loss of her husband, it is thought, caused her to commit the fatal blunder that afternoon while no one was in the house. Mrs. Shiflett was a good provider for her family, caring for them in every possible way. She was a good neighbor, as was attested by those who lived near her. She leaves to mourn her loss three boys, Willie, Robert, and John, and three girls, Cleatus, Lydia Mae, and Elberta. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. S. Knight, of the Church of the Brethren, in the presence of a large congregation of friends, neighbors, and relatives, who gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to this kind woman and sympathize with her children, who were so suddenly bereft of their dear mother. She was a member of the Christian church for 25 years. She was tenderly laid to rest in the beautiful family burying ground, which has a new iron fence, which was recently erected around it. Mr. E. Y. Vernon was the undertaker. The floral decorations on the grave were beautiful. By one who knew her.

Email from Talmadge Shifflett Jan. 27, 2006
Gina:
I just spoke with my sister about the family and here is what she said. She said that our Grandma Fannie, youngest child of John & Permelia Shifflett, spoke of Carrie at times. My sister doesn't remember her talking about the suicide. My sister said that Martha Victoria was accidentally shot in the stomach by one of her younger sisters while she was pregnant in 1893. She couldn't say for sure, but she believes Grandma may have said that Carrie did it. That is when she believes Grandma may have mentioned Carrie. I didn't question my Grandma too much about the family, but evidently my sister did. I can see where this may have caused a rift in the family and could have been a part of what eventually led to Carrie committing suicide in 1929.

Note from Talmadge Shifflett: You will notice it mentions a Paul Shifflett as a son. Paul was actually a son of Mack's brother Emanuel Shifflett. Paul's mother was Henrietta Morris. Anyway, Paul's dad Emanuel married his bother's (Mack's) wife Fannie after Mack had died. Paul lived there as a son. That is why he was listed as a son of Fannie when it was really a step son/nephew kind of situation. The obit was in the Frederick or Mongomery County, MD local paper.

There is a tombstone next to Fannie with the name:

General Notes for Frances Jane Crawford
1900 Rockingham Co., VA, Census, Linville District, ED61, Family 167, Daughter, Jaine Crawford, born May 1860, age 40, single, living in HH of Simion Crawford, also in HH is a boarder Casper Fridley, age 40, single

Garfield, Cleveland and Manda's parents have not been proven. Here are the facts as I know them at this date. Garfield, Cleveland and Manda (Fannie), are the grandchildren of Simeon Crawford, per the 1900 Rockingham census. The question becomes, which of Simeon's children is the parent. Simeon had nine children and I think we can eliminate five as they were age 14 or under when Garfield was born. This would leave 4 females as possible parents, F. Jane, Amanda F. and Matilda. The 1900 census has daughter Jaine, grandchildren Garfield, Cleveland and Manda A., living with Simeon. I have entered Jaine as the mother, this seems to be the most logical choice.

Another researcher has Nangus Shifflett as the mother. This would make the father a male child of Simeon. The two male children were twins and age 14 when Garfield was born. Listed as F. in 1860 Greene Co. Census, age 3 yrs.
Listed as Jane in 1870 Greene Co. census, age 14 yrs.
Listed as F. J. in 1880 Greene Co. census, age 22 yrs.
Listed as Jaine in 1900 Greene Co. census, b. May 1860
No evidence Jane ever married. Not on census after 1900.

General Notes for Fasselinda Ellen Crawford
1900 Rockingham Co., VA, Census, Linville District, ED61, Family 165, Servant, Elin Crawford age 35, single, born Jun 1864

Info from Sandi Riegert

Banks Shifflett's third relationship was with Ellen Crawford. On a 1870 census record, she is listed as Fasselinda. On the 1900 Census, she is listed as Elin. On her death certificate, her name is Fair Ellen. Her birthdate was June 5, 1864. Date of death was Aug. 27, 1919 (taken from death certificate). She is buried at Gospel Hill Cemetery.

Both of their marriage certificates show Crawford. I do not have a birth record for either girl. Interestingly, they do not list a father on their marriage records either. They just list Ellen Crawford as their mother.
To my knowledge, they never used the last name of Shifflett because their parents were not married (Banks Shifflett was likely never divorced from Frances Collier). Banks and Ellen are never listed as husband and wife in Census records either. In 1880, Hiram Shifflett is a boarder in the Crawford household. In 1900, he is head of household and Elin Crawford is listed as "servant." In 1910, he is living with Berryman Crawford (his son in law) and Ellen is next door. You are welcome to put Shifflett if you like, but please note that Victoria became Victoria Knight (it says Crawford Shifflett on the web page) and Rebecca was Crawford Shifflett Crawford (it says Shifflett Crawford on the web page).
Interestingly, Banks kids by Frances Crawford (Austin and Warney) used the last name Shifflett.
Hope this helps! Can it get anymore confusing???

COLLIER'S WOUND MORTAL.
ANDREW COLLIER
Shot by Colored Man Named Gilmore While Quarreling Over Game of Cards.
" Fiddler " Andrew Collier, of Greene county, is dead. He passed away at 5 o'clock Monday morning. His death resulted from a wound inflicted by George Gilmore -a colored man-who shot him in the abdomen with a pistol during a Sunday morning quarrel over a game of cards. Gilmore has lied and W. A. Crawford, sheriff of Greene county, is in pursuit. Collier and Gilmore were playing cards and drinking together near Bingham's church on Saturday night, April 21st, and continued the game far into Sunday morning. All went well until just before the break of day, when a misunderstanding arose. As a result Gilmore drew a pistol and shot his companion, the ball penetrating the man's abdomen. The negro fled after firing the shot and Collier, after lying helpless for some hours, was found and carried to a house in the neighborhood. Physicians were summoned and probed for the ball, but could not find it. Gilmore afterward surrendered and was placed in jail at Stanardsville, On Saturday, April 28th, he was bailed in the sum of $100 for his appearance yesterday before Justice M. L. Snow at Huckatep's Grocery. Dr. W. Kyger, of Nortonsville, going his bond. Court was about to convene for the hearing Monday and was merely awaiting the appearance of the accused, when word was received that Collier was dead. The man had been dead for several hours. Gilmore had in some way been apprised of the fact, and as result he did not make his appearance. On the contrary, upon investigation, it was ascertained that he had fled. Sheriff Crawford is in pursuit of the fugitive. What his prospects are for retaking the man are not known.

Elizabeth next married Charles Edward Shifflett, son of Nicholas (Col. Nick) Shifflett and Mary Ann Catherine Morris, on 17 Jun 1911 in Greene Co., VA. Charles was born in Mar 1893 in Greene Co., VA.

The Harrisonburg Rockingham Register, Harrisonburg, VA, Fri, Feb. 19, 1897,
Revolting Murder in Greene.
A tragedy occurred in Bacon's Hollow, Greene county, last Friday which was attended by circumstances of a peculiarly revolting nature. John Knight, Willis Shifflett and several other men were drinking, very freely at a distillery there, and a general row ensued. Willis Shifflett was struck in the head with a rock, which fractured his skull and inflicted a fatal injury. This occurred in the morning and it is said that Shifflett lay where he fell until evening in an unconscious condition. Whether he died then from the effect of his injury or was killed by a subsequent assault is not known, but it is reported that some of the party returned to the distillery after short absence and found Shifflett's body under the still, burned almost to a crisp. He had evidently been thrown into the fire head foremost and the upper part of his body was burned beyond recognition. It is thought that Shifflett probably died from the blow on his head and that an attempt was made to burn the body in order to conceal evidence of foul play. An inquest was held, but its result has not reached us. Dr. Davis, of Stanardsville, examined the body of the dead man and found the skull fractured and a piece of the bone pressing on the brain to an extent sufficient to cause death. This is the fifth murder that has been committed in Bacon's Hollow within a period of twelve years, and in each instance heretofore the guilty parties received but light punishment.

The Harrisonburg Rockingham Register Friday, August 20, 1897
The trial of John Knight came up in the Greene County Court last week. The evidence against him for the killing of Willis Shiflet was very strong, we understand, but the jury sentenced him to the State prison for only seven years.

William married Dolly Ann M. Shifflett, daughter of Mark Stinton Shiflett and Nancy Ann Christena Powell, on 7 Jan 1869 in Greene Co., VA. Dolly was born in Feb 1853 in Greene Co., VA.

ROACH SENT TO GRAND JURY IN SHIFLETT DEATH
Jerney Roach, young Nortonsville man, was certified to the Albemarle county circuit court grand jury by Magistrate W. B. Colthurst Friday for the killing of William E. Shiflett with a rock Dec. 15. Testimony for the commonwealth was taken at a preliminary hearing three weeks ago, 10 days before the victim's death in University hospital. At that time, Roach was charged witht he lesser crime of felonious assault. Magistrate Colthurst reserved his decision, pending the outcome of Shiflett's condition. Mr. Walker C. Williams, attorney for Roach, appeared to waive the right of putting on defense testimony. It is alleged by the state that Roach knocked Shiflett in the head with a rock during an argument over the settlement of a debt. After receiving the wound, Shiflett drove to Charlottesville and preferred charges against his assailant. A short time later he went to University hospital, where he lapsed into a state of coma. Commonwealth's Attorney W. O. Fife has indicated that he will oppose efforts to obtain bail for the prisoner, and it is understood that the man's relatives are not in a poisiton to furnish the amount of bond that officials would be likely to require, in view of the seriousness of the charge.
___________

Mr. Shiflett's funeral was held at Evergeen church with burial in the old family burial ground on the Harding Shiflett place. He leaves a widow and six small children.

WILLIAM HARVEY SHIFLETT
THE DEATH RECORD - William Harvey Shiflett died at the University hospital Aug. 3, 1926. He had been ill for only a day before he was taken to the hospital, where he remained a week before his death. All his life was spent in Greene County, except two years near Proffits, where he was living at the time of his death. He was 33 years old, 15 of which were spent in the Brethren Church. All who knew him know that he was a lovable man. He was indeed an honest, cheerful, devoted and considerate character. His face was always one to be looked upon as a bright happy nature shining through. His sympathies were broad and his respect for personality was great. His kind and gentle expressions never ceased to make beautiful long impressions upon all who met him. In all his business dealings and transactions I can safely say that he was worthy of the highest confidence and his sincerity was easily seen in all his actions whether big or little. Unquestionably he was a loyal friend, a good father and husband. His suffering was endured with the very best of spirit to the last moment. Although conscious of death, he liked to talk to the folks, who were around him about his experiences with them. His words were never out of place and his last words to his faithful companion were of the highest sensibility and yet very touching. He leaves to mourn his loss a wife and six children, two sisters, four brothers, and his father. His sisters are Mrs. James Shiflett, of Burnley, and Mrs. Jesse Lawson, of Earlysville; his brothers Messer s. Ben and Robert Shiflett, of Burnley, and Hoover and Harding Shiflett, at home with their father. He was laid to rest in Evergreen Cemetery Aug. 4. Rev. G.A. Maupin conducted the funeral. The pall bearers were Messer s. James, William, Edd, Clyde, and Isaac Knight, and Dewey Shiflett. A large crowd attended, many of whom left with heavy hearts and with long living memories. One who loved him dearly.

LITTLE SHIFLETT GIRLS SAVED FROM DROWNING
The Record is indebted to it's good friend Mr. Tom Crawford, of Nimrod, for the following graphic account of the near drowning of two little girls and the splendid heroism displayed by their rescuers:

A most remarkable occurrence happened Tuesday, Jan. 17, 1924, near the Blue Ridge Industrial school farm. Two of Mr. Harvey Shiflett's children on their way to school were crossing a foot bridge near Mr. George Knight's store. The foot bridge was very shackling and both of the little girls fell into the water, and would have been drowned, if it had not been for Mrs. Martin Shiflett, aunt of the girls, who was the first person to discover them in the swift and swollen waters made so by the unprecendently heavy winter downpour of that day. Mrs. Shiflett ran to the stream just as quickly as she could and came very near being drowned herself in her efforts to save the youngest child. The oldest girl got away from her and washed 150 yards down river. Our deputy sheriff, Mr. Myrtle Morris, happened to be on his way home from a visit to his brother, Mr. L. E. Morris, and discovered the older girl in the water, being carried rapidly down the deep swift current. Without hesitation he plunged into the raging waters to the rescue of the child. He came near being drowned himself. It was all this brave man could do to get to the bank of the stream and out of the water with the child, but he did so.

Miss Margaret Lawrence, a trained nurse, was phoned for. She soon came and rendered all the service this good Christian lady could to save them. They were very weak until the next day. They are getting along nicely now, after their thrilling experience.

Much credit is due Mrs. Victoria Shiflett, an aunt of the girls, and also Deputy Sheriff Myrtle Morris for the brave and good deeds they performed, both risking their lives, but not in vain. The place where Mr. Morris ventured in was most perilous and treacherous, and the act showed him to be a man absolutely without fear. If ever two persons were entitled to Carnegie heroism medals, the writer honestly believes these two brave persons are.

William married Pearl J. Knight, daughter of James Mitchell Knight and LeAnna Jollett, on 13 Oct 1913 in Hagerstown, Washington Co., MD. Pearl was born on 25 May 1896 in Greene Co., VA, died on 27 Dec 1988 in Madison Co., VA at age 92, and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Dyke, Greene Co., VA.

HE CLAIMS SELF-DEFENSE
Harrisonburg Man Charged with Murder
Admits Shooting Two Men
Special to The Washington Post
Harrisonburg, Va., Aug. 18 -- J. T. Shifflett, alias John Eaton, was landed in jail here this morning charged with the murder of Marvin Shifflett and dangerously wounding Ashby Lawson. Shifflett admits doing the shooting, which occurred late last evening, near Roadside, a small place in the eastern part of this county, but he claims that he acted in self-defense. Immediately after the shooting Shifflett gave himself up to the deputy sheriff, and was said he had been attacked by the two men whom he shot and another whom he did not know. It is said that Lawson will most likely die. All parties live in the same neighborhood, and the shooting is said to be the result of an old feud. Eaton is a married man.

TRIAL OF DAMAGE SUIT BEGINS IN CIRCUIT COURT
P. A. Shifflett Suing Sol. J. Hensley for Alleged Debauchery of Daughter, Eighteen

Second trial of the $10,000 damage suit of P. A. Shifflett against Sol. J. Hensley was begun yesterday in circuit court, the first trial several months ago having resulted in a hung Jury. Shifflett is suing for damages for alleged debauchery of his daughter, Polly, aged eighteen.

Considerable progress was made yesterday. Miss Shifflett being among the half dozen witnesses for the plaintiff whose testimony was completed. There were indications that the case may not take so many days for trial as it did previously.

Chas. A. Hammer and former Senator Geo. N. Conrad are attorneys for Shifflett. Hensley is represented by Charles Curry, of Staunton; E. D. Ott and John T. Harris.

SOL J. HENSLEY DENIES CHARGES AGAINST HIM
Has Tilt With Opposing Attorneys and Declares He Is Not Father of the Child

Hearing of evidence in the $10,000 damage suit of P. A. Shifflett against Sol J. Hensley was practically concluded in Circuit Court yesterday afternoon. The defense resting its case just before adjournment. Several witnesses in rebuttal will be called by the complainant this morning.

Hensley, who is said to be a farmer of considerable means, took the stand in his own behalf yesterday afternoon and denied absolutely the charges made against him by Polly Shifflett, eighteen, a daughter of P. A. Shifflett, and declared he was not the father of her child. Hensley is fifty-five, married and several years ago was a candidate for sheriff of Rockingham County. Shifflett is the man who appeared in the headlines years ago when he startled bank officials by bringing a satchel full of gold coins to town.

While on the stand yesterday Hensley became much angered and excited and at one point declared that former Senator George N. Conrad, who was then subjecting him to a severe cross examination, knew the case against him contained no truth. Chas A. Hammer, who with Mr. Conrad represents Shifflett, immediately objected, declaring that Mr. Conrad had no opportunity to reply to such assertions, and the court cautioned the witness not to use such vigorous language during the remained of his examination.

Admitting that he had made an effort to compromise the case, Hensley said he would rather have paid a small amount to settle the controversy than to see the wealth of himself and Shifflett "divided among the lawyers." This brought a storm of protests from counsel, and with Judge Hass and Sheriff Dillard rapping their desks to restore order. Hensley finally concluded by saying that he had been forced into court at great expense in order to protect his good name.

Several witnesses were called who testified to the good reputation of Hensley for truth and veracity and for morality prior to the present case. These witnesses also stated that Shifflett bore a good reputation in the community. A number of witnesses whose testimony was used in assailing the character of Polly Shifflett at the first trial of the case several months ago, and whose testimony the plaintiff then attempted to impeach, have not been called during the present trial. The evidence probably will be concluded at the morning sessions today, and the case argued by counsel this afternoon.

ANOTHER HUNG JURY IS PROBABLE IN DAMAGE SUIT
Jurors Trying Hensley Case Unable to Agree Yesterday -- Try Again This Morning

Deliberations lasting one hour in Circuit Court yesterday afternoon indicated that the second trial of the $10,000 damage suit of P. A. Shifflett against Sol. J. Hensley may result in another hung jury. The argument was concluded and the jury retired at 4 o'clock. An hour later the jury reported that it had so far been unable to agree, and Judge Haas then adjourned court until 9:30 o'clock this morning when the seven men will make another effort to reach an agreement.

The plaintiff alleges that Hensley debauched Polly Shifflett, a daughter of P. A. Shifflett, and is the father of her child. Hensley and Shifflett married sisters, and Hensley is therefore the uncle of the girl who made the complaint against him. Hensley flatly denies the charge, and maintains that he is being falsely accused. The first jury which heard the case several months ago, divided six to one in favor of damages. It is not known how the present jury stands, but the foreman in his statement to the court yesterday afternoon held out little if any hope of a verdict. Judge Haas, however, is especially anxious that there should be a verdict, and the jurors accordingly this morning will make another effort to agree.

Chas. A. Hammer for Shifflett opened the argument yesterday morning. He was followed by John T. Harris, E. D. Ott, and Charles Curry for Hensley. Former Senator George N. Conrad closed for Shifflett.

Besides his widow he leaves to mourn his loss the following children; Mrs. Henrietta Ragan, Cottage City, Md.; Mrs. Mollie G. Jane Greenwell, Seat Pleasant, Md.; Mrs. Emma Shiflett, Elkton, William I. Shiflett, Earlysville and Enoch B. Shiflett, Detroit, Mich. Mr. Shiflett had two brothers living, Messrs.

Mr. Shiflett was a member of Evergreen Brethren church for 38 years and lived that consistent Christian life which commends itself to others. He was a kind husband, a devoted father and a splendid neighbor. It is hard on his devoted helpmeet, who had lived with him these many years, but such is life and makes us think of what Job said. "If a man die shall he live again?" Mr. Shiflett's motto was "Treat the other man as you would have him treat you." Mr. Shifflett's funeral was conducted by Rev. E. C. Woodie in the presence of a large concourse of relatives, friends and neighbors. He was laid to rest in Evergreen cemetery beside his daughter, Hazel, who preceded him to the other world some time ago. The pallbearers were relatives and friends. Mr. Shiflett's request that his burial service be plain without flowers, altho neighbors brought one beautiful floral tokens out of respect to him and the family. Messrs. E. Y. Vernon & Son were funeral directors. By one who know Mr. Shiflett from boyhood.

My mother tells me that Fannie smoked a corn cob pipe and wasn't very pleasant to her. She had to live with her after her mother died at about 2 years and 7 months old. She would beat her with a switch for wetting the bed and make her sleep outside without blankets. The rumor was she lived to her 90's.

My mother Florence and her sister Sharon were adopted by separate familys but were brother and sister. Sharon was taken out to WA and Florence ended up in the Phila area where she was raised catholic.

Mallie died after giving birth to Sharon, she bleed to death basically. The other children reported seeing bloody sheets being brought down from the upstairs bedroom. I have her death notice. She died at George Washington hospital.

She is now buried at Cedar Hill Cemetery 4111 Penn Ave, Switland, MD

The kids were all born at home....
Looking at the line I see my Uncle Enoch whom I met when I was about 12. He was my grandmother's brother. They were always told they were french canadian by the way...
As I go throught this I will try and add what I can! Say hi to my new found cousin for me.

Guy, Dolly, and 2 year old Victoria Elizabeth

JESSE MORRIS
Another veteran of the Confederacy has answered the last roll call. The brave ranks of the grays become thinner as time rolls on. Jesse Morris, who survived during the four years of the war between the states laid by his armor Nov. 11, 1932, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Arbelia Gooden, near Elkton. Mr. Morris had spent several years of his life at her home. Mr. Morris was for years an honorable citizen of Greene county, where he married Miss Polly Ann Shiflett years ago and to this union were born Rosser Morris, of Free Union, Martin Morris, of Maryland, and Pinnie (Morris) Knight, of Pirkey, surviving him and Charles and Andrew Morris, who departed this life some years ago. While Mr. Morris was living in Greene he took an active part in building up his community as well as his country. For years he was one of the leading members of Old Mt. Union Christian church taking an active part in Sunday school and prayer meeting. He believed in upholding our laws and assisting our officers in enforcing them. This writer has been told he was a brave soldier. On one occasion he was a short distance from his camp and saw a light in an old house and supposing it to be some of his own men he went into the house and found several yankees therin. Quick as a flash he demanded their surrender and they believing other men were on the outside gave up their arms and he turned them over to his superior officers. Mr. Morris was in his 96th year. He left Greene county about 37 years ago and made his home near his daughter until the last years of his life where he stayed with her and was well cared for by her. His funeral was conducted by Rev. Isaac Long at Pineville church in the presence of his children and grandchildren and friends of the community who came out to pay their respects to this faithful old soldier and neighbor.

Email from Marty <MAWYERM@aol.com> 26 Dec 2001
Bob, I am afraid my mother did not have much information about the Knight family. Cue Knight's parents were James F. Knight and Piney Morris. James F. Knight's father was also named James Knight. We do not know the name of James Knight's wife. James Knight was apparently raised by Dick and Elvira Snow. I believe they were his aunt and uncle. Piney Morris' parents were Jessie Morris and Polly Shifflett Morris.
The only other information I know regarding the Knight family is from a book written by Clyde Knight (now deceased). There is a copy of this book in the state library of Virginia. Clyde is a distant cousin of some sort. He stated that the Knight family immigrated from Ireland. Clyde stated that his great grandfather ( William Knight ?) lived in the Killarney and Kilkenny area of Ireland and immigrated to America. He stated that his grandfather, Iverson Knight gave him this information. I have no independent verification of any of this. It all comes from Clyde's book. I have also been told that the Morris family is from Ireland.

Harrisonburg, Va., Aug. 18 -- J. T. Shifflett, alias John Eaton, was landed in jail here this morning charged with the murder of Marvin Shifflett and dangerously wounding Ashby Lawson. Shifflett admits doing the shooting, which occurred late last evening, near Roadside, a small place in the eastern part of this county, but he claims that he acted in self-defense. Immediately after the shooting Shifflett gave himself up to the deputy sheriff, and was said he had been attacked by the two men whom he shot and another whom he did not know. It is said that Lawson will most likely die. All parties live in the same neighborhood, and the shooting is said to be the result of an old feud. Eaton is a married man.

MORRIS-SHIFLETT DIE IN GUN DUEL; BYSTANDERS SHOT
Former Killed Instantly by Pistol Bullet; Antagonist Succumbs in Hospital
TRAGEDY IS LAID TO FAMILY GRUDGE
Battle is Staged in Village Near County Seat, Stanardsville -- Wholesale hot-headed shooting was the order of the day yesterday afternoon at Nimrod, near Stanardsville, Greene County, when two men stood face to face and killed each other in a fierce pistol-shotgun duel. The two antagonists letting fly wild and free also wounded three bystanders. The dead are: Manuel Morris, 45, of near Stanardsville, who died instantly from bullet wounds; and Bernard Shiflett, 35 of Nimrod, who riddled with shot, died this morning in University Hospital at 5 o'clock after surgeons there had fought unsuccessfully all night to save his life.
At Shiflett's Home
The shooting occurred at 5 P.M. at the home of Shiflett. It is thought that Morris, wielding a shotgun fired first at close range felling Shiflett to the ground; who nevertheless was able to raise himself and send several pistol bullets into the head and heart of his adversary. Bystanders, reported to have been hit by both stray bullets and shot are: Ira Morris, ?????? Morris and Mrs. Myrtle Morris, the latter a daughter-in-law of Austin Morris. None was badly injured.
Family Grudge
No immediate motive had been established this morning for the fatal shooting, thought it was understood that a long standing grudge had existed between the Morris and Shiflett. The three wounded Morrises were relatives of Manuel Morris. Shiflett is the son of Abbie Shiflett. All live in the vicinity of Nimrod, about seven miles from Stanardsville. Sheriff Melone of Greene County could not be reached by the phone today and it is presumed he is investigating the case. Further details are pending, as those who brought Shiflett to the hospital here had nothing to say and no information could be raised from him.
Filled With Shot
Bernard Shiflett arrived at the hospital at 11 o'clock last night, unconscious and in critical condition. He was, according to attaches, literally filled with lead from head to feet. Immediately surgeons attempted to relieve his condition, probing for shot and ascertaining the extent of his wounds. Little hope, however, was held out for his recovery as part of the blast had entered vital organs, but he was worked over incessantly until shortly before his death at daybreak.

The Greene County Record, Thu. June 4, 1931, Greene Co., VA
Manual Morris and Bernard Shiflett Receive Mortal Wounds In A Duel
A fatal pistol duel occurred in upper Bacon Hollow Tuesday afternoon around 5 o®clock, in which one man was killed outright, a second mortally wounded and three by-standers shot. The dead man is Manuel Morris. Mortally wounded was Bernard Shiflett, who died Wednesday morning in the Charlottesville hospital, where he was taken immediately after the duel. The by-standers wounded are: Mrs. Genus Morris, Richard Morris, Richard Morris and Ira Morris. It seems the shooting occurred over a very trivial matter. It happened at a tenant house owned by Mr. Shiflett and occupied by Genus Morris. Manuel Morris, who was at the house, wanted to dance. Shiflett, who was also at the house, interposed an objection. Manuel Morris drew his revolver and began to shoot at Shiflett who drew his pistol and returned the fire. When the smoke of battle cleared up Manuel lay on the ground writing in death agony from three bullet wounds - one in his body, a second in his shoulder and a third in his head. Mrs. Genus Morris and Richard Morris were each shot through the leg and Ira Morris in the groin - a bad wound. After the duel it was found that both revolvers had been emptied. Shiflett was rushed to the University hospital. The others were treated at home. Sheriff Melone was notified of the duel promptly and hurried to the scene. His investigation revealed the facts of this tragic affair as stated. The dead man was about 50 years old and leaves a family. Shiflett was a farmer and owns considerable Bacon Hollow land. He is a thrifty man of family. It is said a grudge of long standing existed between Morris and Shiflett. Both men were buried Thursday.

LILLIE F. SHIFFLETT
Mrs. Lillie Shifflett, wife of Mr. Luke Shifflett, departed this life Nov. 28, 1927, at her home near Nimrod. She was the daughter of Alfred and Marguerite Morris. She leaves to mourn her loss her devoted husband and seven children, all at home; her aged mother; four brothers, Edgar, Emanuel, and John Morris, of Nimrod and Bez Morris on March; and three sisters, Mrs. Robert Morris and Mrs. Moses Morris of Sullivan. Her father preceded her to the grave about three months age. She united with the church 20 years ago and was a faithful member up until her death. She was a good and kind neighbor and was loved by all who knew her. She was ill only a short time before her death. All that loving hands and a skilled physician could do was done, but the hand of death touched her and called her home to rest. She told all the family that God was going to take care of her, and called her loved husband and children to her bed and kissed them all good bye, admonishing them to be good and meet her in heaven. She was 38 years old and believed in going to church and sent her children to church. Rev. Henry Knight conducted the funeral service and she was laid to rest the following Wednesday in Evergreen Cemetery. By her Niece, Mrs. Mattie M. Morris.

Bob,
I don't know who George Herring's parents are. I was told by some that John Herring was his father. My uncle is 92 and he remembers his father Will talking about George Herring but he's sure it is not John Herring. I do have his picture that was in the old trunk. Yes, grandma "Cooney" used her maiden name for him and Will was raised mostly by his aunt. I know my uncle said that he left a lot of women with children in this area. My Uncle Ollie said granddaddy Will used to tell him how George would come over the hill and try to talk to him but, he wouldn't talk to him. If you have any info at all it sure would help. I do know that a Charles Herring had land next to them and I think he sold my g-grandaddy some land adjoining theirs and I believe that he is in that family somehow because my grandparents didn't travel too far away. Albemarle was the only place they would travel to. Any info would help.
Thanks. Shirley

TRAGIC DEATH OF ABBIE SHIFLETT
Abbie Shiflett of Bacon Hollow was found dead in his house Friday evening with his skull fractured and his head and face baked almost to a charcoal. It was first thought that he had met death by foul play. The family phoned to Sheriff R, A. Melone, Dr. Davis, coroner, and Commonwealth's Attorney J. E. Parrott. They soon were on the scene with Justice John Peale Shiflett. A jury was soon empanelled and proceeded with an inquest and examined several witnesses.
The testimony disclosed that Mr. Shiflett had one of his boys make him a fire in an old time fireplace, while he was in bed. After his son had complied with his father's request, the young man retired to another room. Later in the evening some member of the family found him with his head in the fire dead. A chair beside him was almost burned up.
The only conclusion which could be reached was that Mr. Shiflett got up from his bed while alone in the room and attempted to take a seat by the fire and plunged forward into it, striking his head against the stones at the top, thus cracking his skull; or while sitting in the chair dozed off and fell forward into the fireplace with the same result. He was a large man and could have fallen against the top of the fireplace with force enough to have caused the fracture. The jury brought in a verdict that his death was accidental. The members of the coroner's jury were: Messrs. Manson Shiflett, John Knight, Cell Morris, Homer Knight, Bray Roach, and John P. Shiflett.
Mr. Shiflett was well known in the community in which he lived and was often sought by his mountain friends for advice which was freely often given by him without remuneration. He was very active in county elections and worked unceasingly for his favorite candidates.
He leaves a wife, several children, brothers and sisters to mourn his loss.

Alfred married Caroline Shifflett, daughter of Mark Stinton Shiflett and Nancy Ann Christena Powell, on 25 Aug 1885 in Greene Co., VA. Caroline was born on 28 Jan 1866 in Greene Co., VA, died on 10 Jul 1937 in Greene Co., VA at age 71, and was buried in Bacon Hollow Family Cemetery, Greene Co., VA.

COVER SHIFLETT ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
Cover Shiflett was accidentally shot last week in Bacon Hollow. The bullet entered Cover's body under the right arm inflicting a painful though not dangerous wound from which he is recovering.
Buey Shiflett was handling a revolver at the time. He was displaying it and praising its good qualities to a party of men gathered on the mountain side. Cover was among the number and when the weapon was accidentally exploded the bullet found a lodging place as stated.
The shooting was first reported to Squire Shiflett as having been intentionally done, and he phoned for Sheriff Melone to come up and arrest Buey. When the officer reached the justice's home Mr. Shiflett said an investigation of the shooting had convinced him that it was accidental and the sheriff need not arrest Buey. The officer, therefore, had his 14-mile ride for nothing.

SHOOTING BY BUEY SHIFLETT - Editor Greene County Record:
I want to correct a mistake that was made in the paper about the shooting of my brother, Cover Shiflett. The shooting was done intentionally and on purpose to kill. Mr. Buey Shiflett was told three times not to draw the pistol on Cover by Mr. Newt. Morris, and the third time he shot him. The report in the Record said that Squire Shiflett called up Sheriff Melone. This was a mistake. I was the one, Bernard Shiflett, his brother. He came up to my father's store above Nimrod post office. The sheriff came the next day after the shooting and made a search for Mr. Buey Shiflett, but could not find him. There was no justice present and no remarks made that it was an accident. I am certain that the shooting was done on purpose. It was done at Newt Morris'.

JOSEPHINE KNIGHT SHIFFLETT
Mrs. Josephine Knight Shifflett, 80 of Greene County died Friday in Stafford. She was the daughter of the late John W. and Mary Watson Knight, her husband was the late Grover Cleveland Shifflett of Dyke. She is survived by four daughters, Mrs. Elsie Cameron of Front Royal, Mrs. Avis Franklin of Stafford, Mrs. Margaret Moyer of Youngstown, Ohio, and Mrs. Goldie Booth of Woodbridge; four sons, Earl Shifflett of Maryland, and Delmar, Joseph and Melvin Shifflett of Alexandria; two sisters Mrs. Emma Morris of Maryland and Mrs. Frankie Shifflett of Earlysville; and 28 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren.

The family will be at Ryan Funeral Home, Quinque, from 7 to 8:30 P.M. Saturday.

James Mervin Shifflett is the biological son of Avis. My grandmother Josephine legally adopted him since Avis was only 14 yrs old at the time of his birth. I think that is the correct age for her. For the longest time, I always thought he was my uncle. It wasn't until maybe 15 yrs ago, I found out we were really cousins. Even his own children didn't know.

MORRIS-SHIFLETT DIE IN GUN DUEL; BYSTANDERS SHOT
Former Killed Instantly by Pistol Bullet; Antagonist Succumbs in Hospital
TRAGEDY IS LAID TO FAMILY GRUDGE
Battle is Staged in Village Near County Seat, Stanardsville

Wholesale hot-headed shooting was the order of the day yesterday afternoon at Nimrod, near Stanardsville, Greene County, when two men stood face to face and killed each other in a fierce pistol-shotgun duel. The two antagonists letting fly wild and free also wounded three bystanders.
The dead are: Manuel Morris, 45, of near Stanardsville, who died instantly from bullet wounds; and Bernard Shiflett, 35 of Nimrod, who riddled with shot, died this morning in University Hospital at 5 o'clock after surgeons there had fought unsuccessfully all night to save his life.
At Shiflett's Home
The shooting occurred at 5 P.M. at the home of Shiflett. It is thought that Morris, wielding a shotgun fired first at close range felling Shiflett to the ground; who nevertheless was able to raise himself and send several pistol bullets into the head and heart of his adversary.
Bystanders, reported to have been hit by both stray bullets and shot are: Ira Morris, ?????? Morris and Mrs. Myrtle Morris, the latter a daughter-in-law of Austin Morris. None was badly injured.
Family Grudge
No immediate motive had been established this morning for the fatal shooting, thought it was understood that a long standing grudge had existed between the Morris and Shiflett. The three wounded Morrises were relatives of Manuel Morris. Shiflett is the son of Abbie Shiflett. All live in the vicinity of Nimrod, about seven miles from Stanardsville. Sheriff Melone of Greene County could not be reached by the phone today and it is presumed he is investigating the case. Further details are pending, as those who brought Shiflett to the hospital here had nothing to say and no information could be raised from him.
Filled With Shot
Bernard Shiflett arrived at the hospital at 11 o'clock last night, unconscious and in critical condition. He was, according to attaches, literally filled with lead from head to feet. Immediately surgeons attempted to relieve his condition, probing for shot and ascertaining the extent of his wounds. Little hope, however, was held out for his recovery as part of the blast had entered vital organs, but he was worked over incessantly until shortly before his death at daybreak.

Dear Bob,
Thanks for submitting the latest article from The Daily Progress June 3, 1931. I have heard this gun duel story many times from my mother Virginia (Shifflett). She was present and witness some of the tragic activities happening that day. Bernard was her uncle and she remembers the grudge having something to do with a women named Nellie, sister of Bernard's wife Lydia Mae Morris. My mother would have been about 12 years old at the time and was the daughter of General and Pearl Shifflett. She also remembers hearing the guns firing and herself hiding under the stairs to the house for safety, and in fact, she heard one bullet zip past her head. She also claims that one of the Morris bystanders was shot thru the testicles! All this taking place near the Abbie & Caroline Shifflett Homestead in Bacon Hollow. I thought you might enjoy hearing this story from another perspective.
Regards, Bruce Cleveland

Dear Julie, here is my input regarding your question: General married Rebecca E. Morris 19 August 1888. These are the children they had that I'm aware of; Rosa Belle, Bessie Lee, Herbert Lee, Addie Florence, Octavius (Tavy), & Zeddie. General then married Pearl Peacock Shifflett, 26 April 1923. Their children are Virginia May (Ardista, a nickname while growing up and my mother) b. 19 July 1918 & currently living in New York, Prentiss General Shifflette b. 24 March 1920, d. 1 January 2000, Peggy Jane b. 17 July 1922 living in VA., Refa Pearl b. 17 July 1924 living in Florida, Ruby Alice b. 10 Sept. 1926, d. Dec. 1997. Pearl then mar'd. John Wesley Roach 13 Feb 1934 (see Elizabeth&Calus Roach Chart). They had three children. Geraldine b. 2 Feb. 1935, Edith Pearl b. 5 Sept. 1937, Elizabeth Ann b. 30 Nov. 1939. All three still living. My sources are mostly from my Aunt Refa and my mother, Virginia. Hope this is helpful, Bruce

General Shifflett, (according to my paternal grandfather, Lanie Morris) fathered 2 children by Rebecca Morris, d/o Benjamin David and Millie Jane Morris. I'm going to call her Rebecca2. Rebecca2 was never married according to my grandfather. Therefore General Shifflett has 3 sets of children rather than just the 2 sets listed on the Shifflett website. This is the same General Shifflett that was m. to Rebecca Morris d/o Jarrel and Virenda Morris.

In the 1880 census:
1880 Greene County, VA, Census, Monroe District, Family #58, Benjamin Morris, H of HH, Age 27.

Also in HH:
Millie J. - Wife, age 25
Jehovah -Son, age 9
Nellie - Daughter, age 6
Rebecca - Daughter, age 5

In the 1900 Greene County, VA, Census, Monroe District, Family #167, in the HH of Benjamin David Morris - -William B. Grandson, Birthdate June 1896, Age 3. Millie is listed as the mother of 4 children with 2 living. At this time we know Jehovah is still living and Nellie is living and listed in the 1900 census. This implies Rebecaa and one other child is deceased. She died sometime after the birth of William Bluey Morris, June 10, 1896 and before the 1900 census. I have not yet found the family in the 1910 census. According to Lanie Morris, William Bluey Morris was raised by his grandparents, Benjamin David Morris and Millie Jane Morris because his mother had died. Were you aware there were 3 sets of children for General Shifflett? Gina Gibson

Pearl next married John Wesley Roach, son of Archibald E. (Archy) Roach and Drucilla Conley, on 13 Feb 1934 in Rockingham Co., VA. John was born on 6 Nov 1875 in VA and died on 22 Dec 1953 at age 78.

Ollie's clothes were bloody, the sheriff says, and he bore many bodily bruises, which the young man said he received in his fight with the Wood brothers, when he shot one of them down. The following appeared in the Richmond Times Dispatch of Sunday and was in type when the above came to hand. It does not give a correct account of the manner in which Ollie got behind bars. The Record understands he was indicted Monday. His trial will be in the Charlottesville corporation court. Ollie P. Shiflett, of Pirkey, alleged slayer of Micajah Wood, of Birdwood, who was shot down in front of a Main street restaurant in Charlottesville the afternoon of Thanksgiving day, was taken to Charlottesville by his father, Mr. William Shiflett, Saturday, and surrendered to the city authorities. Shifflett who is 17, claims that he was attacked by two Wood brothers, following an argument over a parking collision, and pointed to blood stains on the sleeve of his coat as evidence of the encounter. A dispatch from Charlottesville dated Nov. 24, says: 3Kazy Wood, 23, of near Charlottesville, was fatally shot here this afternoon by Otis Shiflett, of Free Union, after an argument said to have begun over a parking collision. The shooting occurred on Main street. The Wood car had been parked for some time, witnesses claim, when Shiflett backed into it and an argument ensued. Shiflett is said to have whipped out a revolver and fired into the ranks of the Wood brothers, several of them being at their car. He then fled form the scene. The wounded man was rushed to the University hospital, but died before he reached it. The funeral for the slain man was held Saturday afternoon at Buck Mountain Church, Earlysville. Besides his parents, he is survived by 11 brothers and two sisters.

SHIFLETT SENTENCES TO TEN YEAR TERM - Ollie Shiflett, who was tried Monday for the shooting and killing of Micajah Wood, was found guilty second degree murder and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. The verdict of the jury was reached after a short session last evening, but the sentence was postponed until the morning session. The case aroused a great deal of interest and the court room was packed all day until the verdict was rendered.
Ollie Shiflett shot and killed Micajah Wood at the foot of Vinegar Hill last Thanksgiving day. The indictment charged Shiflett with first degree murder. Through his attorneys, Hon. John S. Chapman and Clarence E. Gentry, Shiflett entered a plea of not guilty. He pleaded that he killed Wood in self defense. Ollie Shiflett had come to town from his home in Green county to see his grandmother, he said. After parking his car in front of a restaurant at the foot of the hill, Shiflett says he was accused of injuring the Wood car parked next in line. He got into his car to move it, but was called out to view the damages by one of the Wood brothers.
At this point Shiflett says he was cursed by Herbert Wood, who struck him in the face. He made a retreat to his car and upon seeing the trio of Wood brothers advancing on him, he pulled a gun and fired at Micajah Wood who had joined his brother, Herbert. Shiflett then ran his automobile to the home of a friend near this city and proceeded afoot to the home of his brother. He was persuaded to surrender by his father. Shiflett says he was afraid to surrender prior to this time, fearing violence from the brothers of the man he had killed.
Prosecuting attorney Littleton Wood brought out the fact that Shiflett was charged with drawing a pistol on a native of Fluvanna county at Union church. the lawyers of the defendant objected to the evidence of another case, but their objections were overruled by Judge A.D. Dabney. Ollie Shiflett, who is only 17, will be moved shortly to the state prison in Richmond to serve his term. Charlottesville Progress.

CARRIE LEE SHIFLETT
Mrs. Carrie Lee Shiflett - Friday, April 12, 1929, a tragedy occurred at the home of the late William S. Shiflett, took her own life, Mrs. Shifflett®s health had been failing for sometime and still being worried over the loss of her husband, it is thought, caused her to commit the fatal blunder that afternoon while no one was in the house. Mrs. Shiflett was a good provider for her family, caring for them in every possible way. She was a good neighbor, as was attested by those who lived near her. She leaves to mourn her loss three boys, Willie, Robert, and John, and three girls, Cleatus, Lydia Mae, and Elberta. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. S. Knight, of the Church of the Brethren, in the presence of a large congregation of friends, neighbors, and relatives, who gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to this kind woman and sympathize with her children, who were so suddenly bereft of their dear mother. She was a member of the Christian church for 25 years. She was tenderly laid to rest in the beautiful family burying ground, which has a new iron fence, which was recently erected around it. Mr. E. Y. Vernon was the undertaker. The floral decorations on the grave were beautiful. By one who knew her.

Email from Talmadge Shifflett Jan. 27, 2006
Gina:
I just spoke with my sister about the family and here is what she said. She said that our Grandma Fannie, youngest child of John & Permelia Shifflett, spoke of Carrie at times. My sister doesn't remember her talking about the suicide. My sister said that Martha Victoria was accidentally shot in the stomach by one of her younger sisters while she was pregnant in 1893. She couldn't say for sure, but she believes Grandma may have said that Carrie did it. That is when she believes Grandma may have mentioned Carrie. I didn't question my Grandma too much about the family, but evidently my sister did. I can see where this may have caused a rift in the family and could have been a part of what eventually led to Carrie committing suicide in 1929.

YOUTH STABS BROTHER
TO DEATH WITH POCKET
KNIFE DURING QUAEREL
Dispute Over Sweaters Results in Killing of Mannie Shifflett, 18, of Greene County - Mother Sides With younger Son at Coroner's Inquest
Mannie Shifflett, 18 years old, was stabbed to death by his brother, John Shifflett, sixteen, at the home of their father, "Bug" Shifflett, in Greene County last Friday evening according to information reaching Harrisonburg yesterday. The stabbing was a result of a quarrel over two new sweaters which the father had bought for the boys at Charlottesville, and had brought home that evening. The Shifflett home is about halfway between Stanardsville and the line between Rockingham and Greene counties. The father left the sweaters at the house and had gone to the stable with his horse when the quarrel arose. When he reached the scene his wife, Mrs. Carrie Shifflett, was holding John Shifflett to prevent him doing further injury to the older son, who had been stabbed in the heart with a pocket knife, and was able to stand only by holding to his sister for support. He died within a few minutes. County Coroner Davis, of Greene, held an inquest Saturday morning. Mrs. Carrie Shifflett, mother of the boys, testified that John Shifflett used his knife in self defense, at a time when his older brother had raised a chair to strike him over the head . The funeral of Mannie Shifflett was held Sunday afternoon. John Shifflett, it was stated last night, has not been arrested, and it was believed the statement of his mother would prevent a heavy penalty being imposed, should he be prosecuted.

ROACH SENT TO GRAND JURY IN SHIFLETT DEATH
Jerney Roach, young Nortonsville man, was certified to the Albemarle county circuit court grand jury by Magistrate W. B. Colthurst Friday for the killing of William E. Shiflett with a rock Dec. 15. Testimony for the commonwealth was taken at a preliminary hearing three weeks ago, 10 days before the victim's death in University hospital. At that time, Roach was charged witht he lesser crime of felonious assault. Magistrate Colthurst reserved his decision, pending the outcome of Shiflett's condition. Mr. Walker C. Williams, attorney for Roach, appeared to waive the right of putting on defense testimony. It is alleged by the state that Roach knocked Shiflett in the head with a rock during an argument over the settlement of a debt. After receiving the wound, Shiflett drove to Charlottesville and preferred charges against his assailant. A short time later he went to University hospital, where he lapsed into a state of coma. Commonwealth's Attorney W. O. Fife has indicated that he will oppose efforts to obtain bail for the prisoner, and it is understood that the man's relatives are not in a poisiton to furnish the amount of bond that officials would be likely to require, in view of the seriousness of the charge.
___________

Mr. Shiflett's funeral was held at Evergeen church with burial in the old family burial ground on the Harding Shiflett place. He leaves a widow and six small children.

Orange-Fredricksburg Mail Carrier Found Dead on Road Oct. 4

The body of John Harris Frazier, 59, was found in his mail truck on the road between Gold Dale and Parkers, just over the line from Orange County, Tuesday morning Oct. 4, 1955. He had a bullet wound in his head. Beside him was an old model automatic pistol. Dr. W. H. Johnson, Spotslvania County medical examiner, said evidence was that the wound was self inflicted. Postmaster Lem W. Houston, Fredricksburg, said that he was notified of the discovery and sent to Postoffice Inspector Fred Rogers to the scene at once. Further, that Mr. Frazier had left the postoffice only a short time before with the mail for Orange and way points. The inspector took the truck over and drove it here. Usually due at 10 a.m., it arrived at 11:40 a.m. The dead man was well known and favorably known in Orange. He was a contract mail carrier serving postoffices formerly supplied by the old Virginia Central Railway, discontinued about 20 years ago. He had been serving the route for the past 17 years. Mr. Frazier was a resident of Four Mile Fork, Spotslvania County. He is survived by his wife and three daughters. Fellow employees reported that he had been complaining of being in poor health. He was a native of Greene County, and was a deputy sheriff here under the late Sheriff R. A. Melone for several years. He resided in Stanardsville and was a mail carrier between Stanardsville and Elkton.

The Harrisonburg Rockingham Register, Harrisonburg, VA, Fri, Feb. 19, 1897,
Revolting Murder in Greene.
A tragedy occurred in Bacon's Hollow, Greene county, last Friday which was attended by circumstances of a peculiarly revolting nature. John Knight, Willis Shifflett and several other men were drinking, very freely at a distillery there, and a general row ensued. Willis Shifflett was struck in the head with a rock, which fractured his skull and inflicted a fatal injury. This occurred in the morning and it is said that Shifflett lay where he fell until evening in an unconscious condition. Whether he died then from the effect of his injury or was killed by a subsequent assault is not known, but it is reported that some of the party returned to the distillery after short absence and found Shifflett's body under the still, burned almost to a crisp. He had evidently been thrown into the fire head foremost and the upper part of his body was burned beyond recognition. It is thought that Shifflett probably died from the blow on his head and that an attempt was made to burn the body in order to conceal evidence of foul play. An inquest was held, but its result has not reached us. Dr. Davis, of Stanardsville, examined the body of the dead man and found the skull fractured and a piece of the bone pressing on the brain to an extent sufficient to cause death. This is the fifth murder that has been committed in Bacon's Hollow within a period of twelve years, and in each instance heretofore the guilty parties received but light punishment.

The Harrisonburg Rockingham Register Friday, August 20, 1897
The trial of John Knight came up in the Greene County Court last week. The evidence against him for the killing of Willis Shiflet was very strong, we understand, but the jury sentenced him to the State prison for only seven years.

TRAGIC DEATH OF ABBIE SHIFLETT
Abbie Shiflett of Bacon Hollow was found dead in his house Friday evening with his skull fractured and his head and face baked almost to a charcoal. It was first thought that he had met death by foul play. The family phoned to Sheriff R, A. Melone, Dr. Davis, coroner, and Commonwealth's Attorney J. E. Parrott. They soon were on the scene with Justice John Peale Shiflett. A jury was soon empanelled and proceeded with an inquest and examined several witnesses.
The testimony disclosed that Mr. Shiflett had one of his boys make him a fire in an old time fireplace, while he was in bed. After his son had complied with his father's request, the young man retired to another room. Later in the evening some member of the family found him with his head in the fire dead. A chair beside him was almost burned up.
The only conclusion which could be reached was that Mr. Shiflett got up from his bed while alone in the room and attempted to take a seat by the fire and plunged forward into it, striking his head against the stones at the top, thus cracking his skull; or while sitting in the chair dozed off and fell forward into the fireplace with the same result. He was a large man and could have fallen against the top of the fireplace with force enough to have caused the fracture. The jury brought in a verdict that his death was accidental. The members of the coroner's jury were: Messrs. Manson Shiflett, John Knight, Cell Morris, Homer Knight, Bray Roach, and John P. Shiflett.
Mr. Shiflett was well known in the community in which he lived and was often sought by his mountain friends for advice which was freely often given by him without remuneration. He was very active in county elections and worked unceasingly for his favorite candidates.
He leaves a wife, several children, brothers and sisters to mourn his loss.

COVER SHIFLETT ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
Cover Shiflett was accidentally shot last week in Bacon Hollow. The bullet entered Cover's body under the right arm inflicting a painful though not dangerous wound from which he is recovering.
Buey Shiflett was handling a revolver at the time. He was displaying it and praising its good qualities to a party of men gathered on the mountain side. Cover was among the number and when the weapon was accidentally exploded the bullet found a lodging place as stated.
The shooting was first reported to Squire Shiflett as having been intentionally done, and he phoned for Sheriff Melone to come up and arrest Buey. When the officer reached the justice's home Mr. Shiflett said an investigation of the shooting had convinced him that it was accidental and the sheriff need not arrest Buey. The officer, therefore, had his 14-mile ride for nothing.

SHOOTING BY BUEY SHIFLETT - Editor Greene County Record:
I want to correct a mistake that was made in the paper about the shooting of my brother, Cover Shiflett. The shooting was done intentionally and on purpose to kill. Mr. Buey Shiflett was told three times not to draw the pistol on Cover by Mr. Newt. Morris, and the third time he shot him. The report in the Record said that Squire Shiflett called up Sheriff Melone. This was a mistake. I was the one, Bernard Shiflett, his brother. He came up to my father's store above Nimrod post office. The sheriff came the next day after the shooting and made a search for Mr. Buey Shiflett, but could not find him. There was no justice present and no remarks made that it was an accident. I am certain that the shooting was done on purpose. It was done at Newt Morris'.

JOSEPHINE KNIGHT SHIFFLETT
Mrs. Josephine Knight Shifflett, 80 of Greene County died Friday in Stafford. She was the daughter of the late John W. and Mary Watson Knight, her husband was the late Grover Cleveland Shifflett of Dyke. She is survived by four daughters, Mrs. Elsie Cameron of Front Royal, Mrs. Avis Franklin of Stafford, Mrs. Margaret Moyer of Youngstown, Ohio, and Mrs. Goldie Booth of Woodbridge; four sons, Earl Shifflett of Maryland, and Delmar, Joseph and Melvin Shifflett of Alexandria; two sisters Mrs. Emma Morris of Maryland and Mrs. Frankie Shifflett of Earlysville; and 28 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren.

James Mervin Shifflett is the biological son of Avis. My grandmother Josephine legally adopted him since Avis was only 14 yrs old at the time of his birth. I think that is the correct age for her. For the longest time, I always thought he was my uncle. It wasn't until maybe 15 yrs ago, I found out we were really cousins. Even his own children didn't know.

MORRIS-SHIFLETT DIE IN GUN DUEL; BYSTANDERS SHOT
Former Killed Instantly by Pistol Bullet; Antagonist Succumbs in Hospital
TRAGEDY IS LAID TO FAMILY GRUDGE
Battle is Staged in Village Near County Seat, Stanardsville

Wholesale hot-headed shooting was the order of the day yesterday afternoon at Nimrod, near Stanardsville, Greene County, when two men stood face to face and killed each other in a fierce pistol-shotgun duel. The two antagonists letting fly wild and free also wounded three bystanders.
The dead are: Manuel Morris, 45, of near Stanardsville, who died instantly from bullet wounds; and Bernard Shiflett, 35 of Nimrod, who riddled with shot, died this morning in University Hospital at 5 o'clock after surgeons there had fought unsuccessfully all night to save his life.
At Shiflett's Home
The shooting occurred at 5 P.M. at the home of Shiflett. It is thought that Morris, wielding a shotgun fired first at close range felling Shiflett to the ground; who nevertheless was able to raise himself and send several pistol bullets into the head and heart of his adversary.
Bystanders, reported to have been hit by both stray bullets and shot are: Ira Morris, ?????? Morris and Mrs. Myrtle Morris, the latter a daughter-in-law of Austin Morris. None was badly injured.
Family Grudge
No immediate motive had been established this morning for the fatal shooting, thought it was understood that a long standing grudge had existed between the Morris and Shiflett. The three wounded Morrises were relatives of Manuel Morris. Shiflett is the son of Abbie Shiflett. All live in the vicinity of Nimrod, about seven miles from Stanardsville. Sheriff Melone of Greene County could not be reached by the phone today and it is presumed he is investigating the case. Further details are pending, as those who brought Shiflett to the hospital here had nothing to say and no information could be raised from him.
Filled With Shot
Bernard Shiflett arrived at the hospital at 11 o'clock last night, unconscious and in critical condition. He was, according to attaches, literally filled with lead from head to feet. Immediately surgeons attempted to relieve his condition, probing for shot and ascertaining the extent of his wounds. Little hope, however, was held out for his recovery as part of the blast had entered vital organs, but he was worked over incessantly until shortly before his death at daybreak.

Dear Bob,
Thanks for submitting the latest article from The Daily Progress June 3, 1931. I have heard this gun duel story many times from my mother Virginia (Shifflett). She was present and witness some of the tragic activities happening that day. Bernard was her uncle and she remembers the grudge having something to do with a women named Nellie, sister of Bernard's wife Lydia Mae Morris. My mother would have been about 12 years old at the time and was the daughter of General and Pearl Shifflett. She also remembers hearing the guns firing and herself hiding under the stairs to the house for safety, and in fact, she heard one bullet zip past her head. She also claims that one of the Morris bystanders was shot thru the testicles! All this taking place near the Abbie & Caroline Shifflett Homestead in Bacon Hollow. I thought you might enjoy hearing this story from another perspective.
Regards, Bruce Cleveland

Dear Julie, here is my input regarding your question: General married Rebecca E. Morris 19 August 1888. These are the children they had that I'm aware of; Rosa Belle, Bessie Lee, Herbert Lee, Addie Florence, Octavius (Tavy), & Zeddie. General then married Pearl Peacock Shifflett, 26 April 1923. Their children are Virginia May (Ardista, a nickname while growing up and my mother) b. 19 July 1918 & currently living in New York, Prentiss General Shifflette b. 24 March 1920, d. 1 January 2000, Peggy Jane b. 17 July 1922 living in VA., Refa Pearl b. 17 July 1924 living in Florida, Ruby Alice b. 10 Sept. 1926, d. Dec. 1997. Pearl then mar'd. John Wesley Roach 13 Feb 1934 (see Elizabeth&Calus Roach Chart). They had three children. Geraldine b. 2 Feb. 1935, Edith Pearl b. 5 Sept. 1937, Elizabeth Ann b. 30 Nov. 1939. All three still living. My sources are mostly from my Aunt Refa and my mother, Virginia. Hope this is helpful, Bruce

General Shifflett, (according to my paternal grandfather, Lanie Morris) fathered 2 children by Rebecca Morris, d/o Benjamin David and Millie Jane Morris. I'm going to call her Rebecca2. Rebecca2 was never married according to my grandfather. Therefore General Shifflett has 3 sets of children rather than just the 2 sets listed on the Shifflett website. This is the same General Shifflett that was m. to Rebecca Morris d/o Jarrel and Virenda Morris.

In the 1880 census:
1880 Greene County, VA, Census, Monroe District, Family #58, Benjamin Morris, H of HH, Age 27.

Also in HH:
Millie J. - Wife, age 25
Jehovah -Son, age 9
Nellie - Daughter, age 6
Rebecca - Daughter, age 5

In the 1900 Greene County, VA, Census, Monroe District, Family #167, in the HH of Benjamin David Morris - -William B. Grandson, Birthdate June 1896, Age 3. Millie is listed as the mother of 4 children with 2 living. At this time we know Jehovah is still living and Nellie is living and listed in the 1900 census. This implies Rebecaa and one other child is deceased. She died sometime after the birth of William Bluey Morris, June 10, 1896 and before the 1900 census. I have not yet found the family in the 1910 census. According to Lanie Morris, William Bluey Morris was raised by his grandparents, Benjamin David Morris and Millie Jane Morris because his mother had died. Were you aware there were 3 sets of children for General Shifflett? Gina Gibson

Pearl next married John Wesley Roach, son of Archibald E. (Archy) Roach and Drucilla Conley, on 13 Feb 1934 in Rockingham Co., VA. John was born on 6 Nov 1875 in VA and died on 22 Dec 1953 at age 78.

The Greene County Record, Greene Co., VA, Thu, Dec. 1, 1927
MELONE GETS SHIFLETT - Patrick Shiflett and his son, Dewey, were taken to the Albemarle jail for safe-keeping Saturday by Sheriff Melone and on the trip with two prisoners he heard that Ollie Shiflett, who shot Micajah Wood, was in Fluvanna county. After delivering his prisoners Mr. Melone went in quest of Ollie, located him and turned him over to Sheriff Smith. Ollie's clothes were bloody, the sheriff says, and he bore many bodily bruises, which the young man said he received in his fight with the Wood brothers, when he shot one of them down. The following appeared in the Richmond Times Dispatch of Sunday and was in type when the above came to hand. It does not give a correct account of the manner in which Ollie got behind bars. The Record understands he was indicted Monday. His trial will be in the Charlottesville corporation court. Ollie P. Shiflett, of Pirkey, alleged slayer of Micajah Wood, of Birdwood, who was shot down in front of a Main street restaurant in Charlottesville the afternoon of Thanksgiving day, was taken to Charlottesville by his father, Mr. William Shiflett, Saturday, and surrendered to the city authorities. Shifflett who is 17, claims that he was attacked by two Wood brothers, following an argument over a parking collision, and pointed to blood stains on the sleeve of his coat as evidence of the encounter. A dispatch from Charlottesville dated Nov. 24, says: 3Kazy Wood, 23, of near Charlottesville, was fatally shot here this afternoon by Otis Shiflett, of Free Union, after an argument said to have begun over a parking collision. The shooting occurred on Main street. The Wood car had been parked for some time, witnesses claim, when Shiflett backed into it and an argument ensued. Shiflett is said to have whipped out a revolver and fired into the ranks of the Wood brothers, several of them being at their car. He then fled form the scene. The wounded man was rushed to the University hospital, but died before he reached it. The funeral for the slain man was held Saturday afternoon at Buck Mountain Church, Earlysville. Besides his parents, he is survived by 11 brothers and two sisters.

The Greene County Record, Greene Co., VA, Thu, Jan. 12, 1928
SHIFLETT SENTENCES TO TEN YEAR TERM - Ollie Shiflett, who was tried Monday for the shooting and killing of Micajah Wood, was found guilty second degree murder and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. The verdict of the jury was reached after a short session last evening, but the sentence was postponed until the morning session. The case aroused a great deal of interest and the court room was packed all day until the verdict was rendered.
Ollie Shiflett shot and killed Micajah Wood at the foot of Vinegar Hill last Thanksgiving day. The indictment charged Shiflett with first degree murder. Through his attorneys, Hon. John S. Chapman and Clarence E. Gentry, Shiflett entered a plea of not guilty. He pleaded that he killed Wood in self defense. Ollie Shiflett had come to town from his home in Green county to see his grandmother, he said. After parking his car in front of a restaurant at the foot of the hill, Shiflett says he was accused of injuring the Wood car parked next in line. He got into his car to move it, but was called out to view the damages by one of the Wood brothers.
At this point Shiflett says he was cursed by Herbert Wood, who struck him in the face. He made a retreat to his car and upon seeing the trio of Wood brothers advancing on him, he pulled a gun and fired at Micajah Wood who had joined his brother, Herbert. Shiflett then ran his automobile to the home of a friend near this city and proceeded afoot to the home of his brother. He was persuaded to surrender by his father. Shiflett says he was afraid to surrender prior to this time, fearing violence from the brothers of the man he had killed.
Prosecuting attorney Littleton Wood brought out the fact that Shiflett was charged with drawing a pistol on a native of Fluvanna county at Union church. the lawyers of the defendant objected to the evidence of another case, but their objections were overruled by Judge A.D. Dabney. Ollie Shiflett, who is only 17, will be moved shortly to the state prison in Richmond to serve his term. Charlottesville Progress.

Email from Shirley Borgeson Apr. 29, 2009
Good morning.
I sent off to get the death certificate on Paulus. There is a check mark next to dob & unsure or "unnone" written in. Appears that the year (1877) & age (68) were written in at a later time, looks like written in pencil. I sent off for the certificate because I was hoping to find a birth month & day for him, along with his mommy & daddy®s name, since I could not find him ever being in his mother®s hh. I know he is listed as Almira®s son, along w/Anfield, in her obit.
It looks like his dad®s name is Sylas (?) Shifflett, his mom®s name starts with a "D" and ends w/a °P" (?) Shifflett. It is, for sure, not Almira or Rebecca! All very interesting & confusing. Thought I would pass this on to you and I will keep checking. I can send you the death certificate if you would like.

Hello there
I have been able to find my great great grand parents and even my great grand mother but I cannot find any thing about my grandmother Katie who is the daughter of Mollie G. Shifflett who is the daughter of Abbie and Caroline Shifflett Abbies parents are Lydia F. Ann Shiflet and Hasten Shiflet and her parents are Mark Stinton and Nancy Ann Christena Powell Shiflett Katie's mothers name again is Mollie but I do not know the name of her father I know that she has a bunch of half brothers and sisters and there names are hall. I believe Mollie married a Jack Hall after she had my grandmother and then she had Grover, Mary, Arthur, Florence, Isacc, and John and that might not be in order however I cannot find anything on the site about her or cannot find anything on my grandfather who is a Morris first name John middle name Arie please help also my grandmother had all of her children in Greene county and I cannot find anything on them my mother was born there in 1931.

MORRIS-SHIFLETT DIE IN GUN DUEL; BYSTANDERS SHOT
Former Killed Instantly by Pistol Bullet; Antagonist Succumbs in Hospital
TRAGEDY IS LAID TO FAMILY GRUDGE
Battle is Staged in Village Near County Seat, Stanardsville

Wholesale hot-headed shooting was the order of the day yesterday afternoon at Nimrod, near Stanardsville, Greene County, when two men stood face to face and killed each other in a fierce pistol-shotgun duel. The two antagonists letting fly wild and free also wounded three bystanders.
The dead are: Manuel Morris, 45, of near Stanardsville, who died instantly from bullet wounds; and Bernard Shiflett, 35 of Nimrod, who riddled with shot, died this morning in University Hospital at 5 o'clock after surgeons there had fought unsuccessfully all night to save his life.
At Shiflett's Home
The shooting occurred at 5 P.M. at the home of Shiflett. It is thought that Morris, wielding a shotgun fired first at close range felling Shiflett to the ground; who nevertheless was able to raise himself and send several pistol bullets into the head and heart of his adversary.
Bystanders, reported to have been hit by both stray bullets and shot are: Ira Morris, ?????? Morris and Mrs. Myrtle Morris, the latter a daughter-in-law of Austin Morris. None was badly injured.
Family Grudge
No immediate motive had been established this morning for the fatal shooting, thought it was understood that a long standing grudge had existed between the Morris and Shiflett. The three wounded Morrises were relatives of Manuel Morris. Shiflett is the son of Abbie Shiflett. All live in the vicinity of Nimrod, about seven miles from Stanardsville. Sheriff Melone of Greene County could not be reached by the phone today and it is presumed he is investigating the case. Further details are pending, as those who brought Shiflett to the hospital here had nothing to say and no information could be raised from him.
Filled With Shot
Bernard Shiflett arrived at the hospital at 11 o'clock last night, unconscious and in critical condition. He was, according to attaches, literally filled with lead from head to feet. Immediately surgeons attempted to relieve his condition, probing for shot and ascertaining the extent of his wounds. Little hope, however, was held out for his recovery as part of the blast had entered vital organs, but he was worked over incessantly until shortly before his death at daybreak.

Dear Bob,
Thanks for submitting the latest article from The Daily Progress June 3, 1931. I have heard this gun duel story many times from my mother Virginia (Shifflett). She was present and witness some of the tragic activities happening that day. Bernard was her uncle and she remembers the grudge having something to do with a women named Nellie, sister of Bernard's wife Lydia Mae Morris. My mother would have been about 12 years old at the time and was the daughter of General and Pearl Shifflett. She also remembers hearing the guns firing and herself hiding under the stairs to the house for safety, and in fact, she heard one bullet zip past her head. She also claims that one of the Morris bystanders was shot thru the testicles! All this taking place near the Abbie & Caroline Shifflett Homestead in Bacon Hollow. I thought you might enjoy hearing this story from another perspective.
Regards, Bruce Cleveland

FATAL AFFRAY NEAR HIGH TOP
---------------------------
William Morris Shot and Killed by Simeon Collier At Home Of Morris
---------------------------
Beldor, Feb. 20 - Meager details have just been received here of another fatal shooting scrape in the High Top region, at the top of the Blue Ridge, in Greene County.

William Morris, aged 42 years, was shot and almost instantly killed, Thursday, by Simeon Collier, in the Morris home, in the High Top region.

Although most of the details are lacking, it seems that Collier made his home with Morris and the two men got into an argument, Collier drawing a revolver and shooting Morris through the breast.

Morris's dying words were quoted as, "He has shot me. Hand me my breech-loading gun."

It is reported that several men and women witnessed the shooting but their identity could not be learned here. It is also said that the argument was over a woman, but this too could not be verified.

Collier is now locked up in the Green County jail at Standardsville, facing a charge of manslaughter. Dr. Davis, of Standardsville, conducted the Coroner's inquest, Friday.

Morris was buried Saturday. He is survived by his wife and 8 or 9 small children, also his aged father, Henry Morris.

The scene of the tragedy was about 150 yards from the spot where Rollo Collier killed Joshua Shifflet, about a year ago.

William married Sarah E. Collier, daughter of Ely (Eli) Collier and Phoeby Ann Shiflett, on 25 Jan 1899 in Greene Co., VA. Sarah was born in Sep 1881 in Greene Co., VA and died on 19 Sep 1961 in Greene Co., VA at age 80.

According to Velma Shifflett, w/o James Omie Shifflett, Ruby Pearl Morris (m John Bray (Bernie) Roach, Jr.) the d/o Zadie Ann Morris is the d/o Lloyd Lee Conley. She doesn't believe Zadie and Lloyd were ever married. Apparently he didn't claim the children, because they are not mentioned in his obit. They must not have claimed him either, because when Ruby married she only gave her mother's name and put her father as unknown. Gina

Zadie married Lloyd Lee Conley, son of George Washington Conley and Melissa M. "Lessie" Roach, Lloyd was born on 21 Mar 1910 in Greene Co., VA, died on 26 Dec 1996 in Charlottesville, Albemarle Co., VA at age 86, and was buried in Eheart Pentecostal Church Cemetery, Eheart, Orange Co., VA.

I would venture to say that the two children were given the name of their step-father rather than continuing to use their fathers name. Not sure where I got this from but that would be my thoughts. Mamie married 2nd Edward Collier in 1922. Eugene

MARY BELL MORRIS SHIFFLETT BEASLEY
Mary Bell Beasley, 89, of Stanardsville, passed away Tuesday, August 26, 2003, at a Charlottesville hospital. She was born April 1, 1914, in Greene County, daughter of the late Willie and Mamie Collier Morris. Her first husband was Davis Shifflett, and her second husband was the late Linnie Beasley. She is also preceded in death by two sons, Luther Shifflett and Randolph Shifflett. She is survived by five sons, James Shifflett, and wife Thelma, of Orange, Harmon Shifflett, and wife, Lucille, Kenny Shifflett, and wife Audrey, Howard Shifflett, and wife Doris, and Leon Beasley and wife Carla, all of Ruckersville; two daughters, Hattie Brill, and husband Michael, and Joyce Wheeler, and husband, John of Stanardsville; two step daughters, Esther Abel of Fredericksburg, and Eunice Shifflett of Stanardsville; two sisters, Della Byram, and husband Bruce, and Arlene Byram, and husband Eugene of Orange; 26 grandchildren; and a number of great-grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren. A funeral service will be held 11 a.m., Saturday, August 30, 2003, at the Nortonsville Pentecostal Church, with interment in Holly Memorial Gardens, Pastor Robert Akers and Brother Ellis Roach will officiate. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, August 29, 2003, at the Church. The family suggest memorial contributions be given in her name to the Greene County Rescue Squad; P.O. Box 2003, Stanardsville, Va. 22973. Ryan Funeral Home, in Quinque, is in charge of arrangements.

What is Mary Bell's real last name
Ok, here is my take on this mess. When she married the first time there wasn't any father listed. I assume she was born out of wedlock and probably used the name Lawson, she was only 16 and maybe she didn't consider Ed Collier as her father. When she married the 2nd time 23 years later, maybe during that time she considered Ed Collier her father. In her obituary it says her father is Willie Morris, maybe by this time she found out who her real father was. I suspect Willie Morris is her birth father.

Mary married David Davis Shifflett, son of William Herbert Shifflett and Mary Nellie Shiflett Conley, on 30 Jun 1930 in Greene Co., VA. David was born on 12 Feb 1912 in Greene Co., VA, died on 21 Feb 1947 at age 35, and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Dyke, Greene Co., VA.

Obituary From The Greene County Record, Greene Co., VA, Mar. 30, 1922
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.

I have a Certificate of Birth giving Robert Edgar Shiflett's date of birth as November 1, 1885. The spelling of the name is "Shiflett" on the Certificate, but I just heard this past weekend from one of my Aunt's and my Father that Robert Edgar spelled his last name "Shifflett" if he had to spell or write it. (Thought I would put in a little bit of trivia).
I have a Certificate of Marriage showing the date as January 16, 1920. Parents of Robert E. were Henry and Lady. (Is Lady and Lydia Morris the same person?) Parents of Jennie M. were Dock and Josie. (Is Dock and Thomas the same person?)

Eugene, The only information that I have about Hosea is what I have gotten from family letters. He signed all his letters Hosea and all his mail was addressed this way. I only know two siblings names, they are Albert and Clinton. His addresses are Freeunion, Cedarmere and Warrenton. Some of his children were Alvin, Margaret, William, Donald, Albian, Jerome, Carlyle, Albright and Virginia. I have only just begun to study the letters I have for clues, if I find any additional information I will let you know. Thanks again, Rebecca

My ggreat-grandparents were John Morris and Mary Shifflett of Greene Co., Va. Their children were Hosea, Aleck, Arthur, Nora, Virginia, Cora, Mabel, and Clinton. Hosea was my great-grandfather, he was born January 17, 1886- most likely in Greene Co. He later moved to Morgantown, WV where he married Maude Bailey on December 6, 1930. I would appreciate any help that you could give me. Thanks,

I must admit that I am still a little confused about the Hamm surname, but I am just thrilled with all of this information. I spent some time today in the court house here in Morgantown. I found a few bits of info. that are new to me and I thought it might be for you also:
Donald Morris-(son of Hosea Morris and Addie Crawford)was born in Morgantown on March 26, 1921.
Hosea Morris Jr.-(son of Hosea and Maude Bailey)was born in Morgantown on May 27, 1931. Hosea Jr. married Edith Stansberry on September 2, 1951.
Carlyle Morris-(son of Hosea and Addie) was married to Mildred Conner in Morgantown on January 25, 1936. The marriage record shows that he was 26 years old and born in Charlottesville, Va. Rick

Hello! My name is Jennifer (Morris) Hanning and I am a granddaughter of Harold N. Morris and a great-granddaughter of Hosea Morris and Maude Baily. I have been searching off and on for information regarding Hosea Morris for several years. My grandfather Harold N. Morris died in 1980 and Hosea Morris died in 1950. I re-subscribed on Sunday to Ancestry.com to get back into researching again. With information I already had, I promptly googled my great-grandfather Hosea Morris' name and found the Shifflett website. Imagine my surprise when I found several pictures of Hosea Morris and several relatives of his, including a picture of my grandfather, Harold Morris, approx age 12. I have searching for years for a nugget of information about the Morris line! I am beyond thrilled and would like to contact the person who submitted the pictures to your website. Can you provide an email, phone and/or address for the following so that I can pursue further research with them?

Hosea married Madeline (Addie) Crawford, daughter of William Absalom (App) Crawford and Lumonia Frances Morris, about 1909. Madeline was born in Oct 1893 in Greene Co., VA and died on 14 Apr 1978 in Martins Ferry, Belmont Co., OH at age 84.

Attached is what I have on Cora Morris, most of which was supplied by Colleen Grammer <cgrammer@juno.com> -- not sure if this address is up-to-date but you might try. She is a descendent of one of the children. You might also check with Sarah Burton Jollett Wyant (PO Box 383 Crozet, VA 22932). I have parents listed as John and Mary Morris, but no dates or locations. But I would snoop around the William Gordon Morris/Peggy Douglas clan because Clarence Chester's father Burton Lewis married their daughter Cornelia Morris (his 2nd wife). They married within 10 years of Clarence Chester Jollett and Cora's marriage. That's just a guess and a starting point.

Bob, that is one thing that I have been watching for. There were a lot of Bernards during that time period. I know he died rather young and Aunt Florence and her children left the area for Illinois. I think she had an older daughter already there. Her family came to this area a few years ago looking for his grave and did not find anything. Don't think they really knew where to look (I did not see them). There is a Bernard buried in a cemetery in Bacon Hollow but do not know if it is him. I saw this on Janet Lloyd's site and made a copy of the stone. When I was a child, one of her twins, John, came to visit us. I can't remember much about it except he had polio and it left him crippled. I do have a phone number for someone in her family in Chenoa (found this on postal web site with names taken from an obit). They were suppose to get back with me but never did. I may try calling again. Everytime I see that name, I start checking it out. If I come up with something, will let you know.

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.

ELIZA SHIFFLETT MORRIS
Mrs. Eliza Morris, wife of Mr. Tillie Morris, died Friday evening, April 8, 1932, at the University hospital, where she had gone for medical treatment. Mrs. Morris was in the 73rd year. She was the mother of 11 children, five sons and six daughters: Doff, Quinet, Will, Panda, Anna, Henrietta, Flossie, Lillie, Clyda, and Zuleman. She was a loving mother, a good wife, a kind neighbor and a devoted Christian, having been a member of the Christ church about 40 years. She was a daughter of the late O®Ferrall Shiflett, of Shifletts Hollow, who was one of the first men to unite with the Christian church in that section. Mrs. Morris was admired by all who knew her. She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband who is years older than she was and all her children, and grand children and many other relatives and friends. Her funeral service was conducted by Elder H. S. Knight in the presence of a large host of friends who had come to show this last expression of respect to one whom they loved at Evergreen church. Her body was tenderly laid to rest in Mt. Olivet cemetery. Mr. E. Y. Vernon was the undertaker. The husband and family have the sympathy of the community and the writer in this sad hour of bereavement. This was a home that one who visited it once always wanted to return again. Such is life we can say with the poet: It is not all of life to live, Nor all of death to die, Beyond this vale of tears We hope to have a home in the sky. By one who knew her.

Eliza married Tillison (Tillie) Morgan Morris, son of Chapman (Hamm) Morris and Elizabeth (Eliza) Morris, on 7 Feb 1878 in Greene Co., VA. Tillison was born on 14 Oct 1850 in Greene Co., VA, died on 22 May 1932 in VA at age 81, and was buried in Christian Church Cemetery, Dyke, Greene Co., VA.

Obituary From The Greene County Record, Stanardsville VA, Jun. 9, 1933
TILLIE MORRIS
Tillie Morris, of Nortonsville passed from this life to the great beyond May 23, 1933. Mr. Morris was the oldest man in that community. Had he lived to see his next birthday he would have been 84 years old. Mr. Morris was a man of firm qualities and could be depended upon; always found on the right side of a question as he saw it and it was no use to try to change him. He was a good citizen, leading an exemplary life. If Tillie Morris was your friend, you had a friend that would stand by you. He was a devoted member of the Christian church for over 50 years, a member of the old Mt. Union church in Bacon Hollow. When it was thought best to move the organization in the neighborhood of Dyke, he united with the Mr. Olivet organization. This writer remembers well when the public schools had some enemies, and how Mr. Morris stood by them with his vote and voice. One of the great characteristics of Mr. Morris was the love and devotion to his family, which consisted of his wife and 11 children, who are located at the following places; Quint Morris, Somerset, Pa.; Anna Morris, Crozet; Will Morris, Ruckersville; Doff Morris, Nortonsville; Mrs. Flossie Collier, Stanardsville; Mrs. Henrietta Collier, Gordonsville; Mrs. Clemma, Charlottesville; Clydie and Zulemma, Lynchburg, and Panda and Litty, at Nortonsville, who stayed with their father and tenderly cared for them. Mr. Morris had 75 grandchildren, all of who were loyally devoted to him. Mr. Morris was tenderly laid to rest beside his wife in Mt. Olivet cemetery in the presence of many of his relatives, friends, and neighbors, who respected and loved him because they all felt they had lost a friend. The funeral services were conducted by Elder H.S. Knight, who visited Mr. Morris in this last illness Mr. E. Y. Vernon was the undertaker. The pallbearers were his relatives and friends. The floral decorations were profuse. There were flowers enough to decorate both his grave and that of his wife. By One Who Knew Him From Boyhood (NOTE - Tombstone has death date as May 23, 1932)

In Memoriam
In sad but loving memory of our dearest mother, Chellie Morris, who entered eternal rest 19 years ago, July 7, 1954.
Nineteen years have passed since that sad day
The one we loved was called away.
God watched you as you suffered
And knew you had your share.
He tenderly closed your weary eyes
And took you home. It was his will.
But in our hearts she liveth still.
Some may think we have forgotten,
And that our hearts are healed,
But they little know the sorrow
Lies within our hearts concealed.
Within our lives there®s a memory fond and true,
And our heart aches still for you.
It is lonely here without you,
In a sad and weary way,
For life is not the same to us
Since you were called away.
Each time we have looked at your picture,
You seem so smile and say,
"Don®t grieve, I®m only sleeping,
We will be together some day."
Love always from your daughters,
Minnie Bach, America Jo Mawyer,
Nellie Shiflett, Mattie W. Hensley

HENRY W. SHIFLETT
FATHER OF ELEVEN FATALLY WOUNDED - Henry W. Shiflett, 50, and father of 11 children was shot and instantly killed by Joe Colvin at the home of the latter, in Louisa County, Saturday. Colvin, of about the same age as Shiflett and also the father of several children, gave himself up, being taken to the Louisa jail. The shooting is said to have resulted from an argument over a pint of liquor during which Colvin forbade Shiflett entering his home and ordered him from the premises. Shiflett, refusing to leave, is said to have followed Colvin into the kitchen of his home and was shot as he entered the door. Shiflett formerly lived in Greene county. He moved to Earlysville about three years ago and in the last month moved to Louisa county, near Gordonsville.

ROACH SENT TO GRAND JURY IN SHIFLETT DEATH
Jerney Roach, young Nortonsville man, was certified to the Albemarle county circuit court grand jury by Magistrate W. B. Colthurst Friday for the killing of William E. Shiflett with a rock Dec. 15. Testimony for the commonwealth was taken at a preliminary hearing three weeks ago, 10 days before the victim's death in University hospital. At that time, Roach was charged witht he lesser crime of felonious assault. Magistrate Colthurst reserved his decision, pending the outcome of Shiflett's condition. Mr. Walker C. Williams, attorney for Roach, appeared to waive the right of putting on defense testimony. It is alleged by the state that Roach knocked Shiflett in the head with a rock during an argument over the settlement of a debt. After receiving the wound, Shiflett drove to Charlottesville and preferred charges against his assailant. A short time later he went to University hospital, where he lapsed into a state of coma. Commonwealth's Attorney W. O. Fife has indicated that he will oppose efforts to obtain bail for the prisoner, and it is understood that the man's relatives are not in a poisiton to furnish the amount of bond that officials would be likely to require, in view of the seriousness of the charge.
___________

Mr. Shiflett's funeral was held at Evergeen church with burial in the old family burial ground on the Harding Shiflett place. He leaves a widow and six small children.

REBECCA SHIFLETT
Mrs. Rebecca Shiflett, wife of Wyatt Shiflett, aged 78 years, died at her home Monday, June 1, 1931, of Stomach trouble. She had been in bad health for a long time, but growing worse, she went to the University hospital, where they were unable to do her any good, she being too old to stand an operation. So she came home and took some treatment from Dr. Davis, but to no visible benefit. It seems that the time had come for her to go. She was buried June 3 at the family cemetery at the home place. Mr. John M. Fray furnished the coffin and Mr. Homer Knight was the undertaker. There was a large crowd of relatives and friends present. She leaves to mourn her loss her husband and two sons, Messers. H. B. Shiflett, of Pirkey, and John P. Shiflett, of Nimrod; Misses Florence Shiflett, of Boonesville, and Carrie and Ella Shiflett, at home. She was a loving mother to her children and the children loved her. Her three daughters were at her bedside when she died. It is a sad thing to part from dear mother and father, when they have been so good and kind to us here. Mrs. Shiflett was a good and kind Christian woman. She was loved by all who knew her. She joined the Bible Christian church when she was quite young and kept the faith until death took her away. So what a good thing it is to die in the name of the Lord. Our good book tells us that the righteous never die, but fall asleep in the arms of Jesus. So her spirit is with Jesus. Her Brother, Kirt Shiflett, Pirkey, Virginia.

WILLIAM HARVEY SHIFLETT
THE DEATH RECORD - William Harvey Shiflett died at the University hospital Aug. 3, 1926. He had been ill for only a day before he was taken to the hospital, where he remained a week before his death. All his life was spent in Greene County, except two years near Proffits, where he was living at the time of his death. He was 33 years old, 15 of which were spent in the Brethren Church. All who knew him know that he was a lovable man. He was indeed an honest, cheerful, devoted and considerate character. His face was always one to be looked upon as a bright happy nature shining through. His sympathies were broad and his respect for personality was great. His kind and gentle expressions never ceased to make beautiful long impressions upon all who met him. In all his business dealings and transactions I can safely say that he was worthy of the highest confidence and his sincerity was easily seen in all his actions whether big or little. Unquestionably he was a loyal friend, a good father and husband. His suffering was endured with the very best of spirit to the last moment. Although conscious of death, he liked to talk to the folks, who were around him about his experiences with them. His words were never out of place and his last words to his faithful companion were of the highest sensibility and yet very touching. He leaves to mourn his loss a wife and six children, two sisters, four brothers, and his father. His sisters are Mrs. James Shiflett, of Burnley, and Mrs. Jesse Lawson, of Earlysville; his brothers Messer s. Ben and Robert Shiflett, of Burnley, and Hoover and Harding Shiflett, at home with their father. He was laid to rest in Evergreen Cemetery Aug. 4. Rev. G.A. Maupin conducted the funeral. The pall bearers were Messer s. James, William, Edd, Clyde, and Isaac Knight, and Dewey Shiflett. A large crowd attended, many of whom left with heavy hearts and with long living memories. One who loved him dearly.

LITTLE SHIFLETT GIRLS SAVED FROM DROWNING
The Record is indebted to it's good friend Mr. Tom Crawford, of Nimrod, for the following graphic account of the near drowning of two little girls and the splendid heroism displayed by their rescuers:

A most remarkable occurrence happened Tuesday, Jan. 17, 1924, near the Blue Ridge Industrial school farm. Two of Mr. Harvey Shiflett's children on their way to school were crossing a foot bridge near Mr. George Knight's store. The foot bridge was very shackling and both of the little girls fell into the water, and would have been drowned, if it had not been for Mrs. Martin Shiflett, aunt of the girls, who was the first person to discover them in the swift and swollen waters made so by the unprecendently heavy winter downpour of that day. Mrs. Shiflett ran to the stream just as quickly as she could and came very near being drowned herself in her efforts to save the youngest child. The oldest girl got away from her and washed 150 yards down river. Our deputy sheriff, Mr. Myrtle Morris, happened to be on his way home from a visit to his brother, Mr. L. E. Morris, and discovered the older girl in the water, being carried rapidly down the deep swift current. Without hesitation he plunged into the raging waters to the rescue of the child. He came near being drowned himself. It was all this brave man could do to get to the bank of the stream and out of the water with the child, but he did so.

Miss Margaret Lawrence, a trained nurse, was phoned for. She soon came and rendered all the service this good Christian lady could to save them. They were very weak until the next day. They are getting along nicely now, after their thrilling experience.

Much credit is due Mrs. Victoria Shiflett, an aunt of the girls, and also Deputy Sheriff Myrtle Morris for the brave and good deeds they performed, both risking their lives, but not in vain. The place where Mr. Morris ventured in was most perilous and treacherous, and the act showed him to be a man absolutely without fear. If ever two persons were entitled to Carnegie heroism medals, the writer honestly believes these two brave persons are.

William married Pearl J. Knight, daughter of James Mitchell Knight and LeAnna Jollett, on 13 Oct 1913 in Hagerstown, Washington Co., MD. Pearl was born on 25 May 1896 in Greene Co., VA, died on 27 Dec 1988 in Madison Co., VA at age 92, and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Dyke, Greene Co., VA.

Sons of Lost man Offer $500 Reward
STANARDSVILLE - The mystery of the disppearance of a 73-year-old Greene County man continued unsolved today as small bands of searchers rechecked the mountain area where he was last seen almost a week ago.
Three of the ten children of the missing man - Daniel Scott Shifflett - today said they are offering a $500 reward for any information that leads to finding their father. Offering the reward are three sons - Roy, Jesse and Jossie Shifflett.
A daughter, Mrs. Russell McFarland, whose home is adjacent to her father's, said that the two-mile route between Shifflett's home and that of his brother, whom they believe he had intended to visit, has been throughly searched, and that the site of his old home - several miles away in what is now part of the Shenandoah National Park - also has been searched.
Shifflett had two dogs with him when he disappeared last Thursday. A young dog came home late the same day, but his older dog which stayed with him constantly, according to the family - didn't return until last Saturday morning.

The Daily Progress, Charlottesville, VA, Mar. 15, 1965
STANARDSVILLE - The body of a 73-year-old Greene County man who had been missing 2 1/2 weeks was found yesterday under a cliff on High Top Mountain.
The man, Daniel Scott Shifflett, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Dr. Warren Rucker, Greene County coroner, ruled the death a suicide.
Floyd Wayne Shifflett, 17, of Swift Run, found the body yesterday about 11 a.m. Sheriff W.D. Deane of Greene County said he is isn't certain whether the boy is a rleative of the man but said it is unlikely that he is a close relative.
Deane said that the boy glanced under the cliff earlier in the morning and saw nothing. Later he took a closer look and spotted the butt of a 12-guage shotgun. The shotgun blast had struck Daniel Shifflett near the heart, probably killing him instantly.
Dr. Rucker said the death apparently occurred on Feb. 25, which was the day the man was reported missing from the home of his brother, John Wise Shifflett, in Mutton Hollow. Daniel Shifflett left his brother's home for his own home about two miles away and disappeared. The cliff under which his body was found is four or five miles from where he was last seen, Sheriff Deane said. The man wasn't carrying the shotgun when he left his brother's house, Deane said. The space under he cliff was about six feet wide and there was just enough room for a an to crawl in.
The boy who found the body declined to accept a $500 reward that had been offered by three sons of Daniel Shifflett, the sheriff said. Discovery of the body ended an 18-day search by hundred of persons. Deane said search parties had been out every day.

Noted events in his life were:

• Soc Sec Num. 224-01-0542

• Medical Condition: self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Email from Cathy Phillips June 13, 2000
Hello Bob,
I have a copy of the marriage certificate for Charles Howard and Vernie and it clearly shows her mother's name is Rebecca Lawson. I attend a family reunion each year with Charles' son and daughter and have given them a copy of my material with the marriage certificate. They don't know why it has Lawson as they believed her last name to be Morris also. I have not proven this any further so I am not sure which is correct. As for the daughter, this came from John Otis and Margaret who are the son and daughter of Charles and Vernie. She is their younger sister and they remember when she left home. They also gave me a couple of alias names she was using at one time but I do not have those handy at this time. There is no doubt in my mind about Anna Irene. I suppose she was left out of the obit intentionally because she has been gone so long and they have not heard from her since she left. They are also at a loss as to why she left. I will be attending another reunion this summer with the family. "Otis" has passed away but his wife and children still have the reunion. What do you know about this family? Are you connected to them? Do you know anything about Charles Howard or Anna Irene? Charles Howard is the brother of my grandfather Joseph Shifflett. Would love to hear from you with any info.

Marriage Notes for Vernice Sissie Shifflett
Hi Bob,
I have a copy of their marriage certificate from the Rockingham Co. Marriage Book 4, Page 176. It shows Charles Howard as 25 years and divorced and Vernie as 24 years and single. Charles place of birth as Rockingham Co. and Vernie's as Greene Co. Charles parents as George M. Shifflett and Virginia Wood and Vernie's parents as George Shifflett and Rebecca Lawson. They were married by Rev. J. N. Ragsdale, Minister of the Methodist Church on May 28, 1928 in Stanardsville, VA. I do not know who Charles was married to prior to Vernie, do you?

Hi Everyone,
I have attached a picture of Charles Howard Shifflett born ca. 1902-1903 and an unidentified gentleman. I want everyone to take a close look at "Howard" and if anyone recognizes him, please let me know. Howard is the one on the left. Howard left his family in Virginia and we believe he relocated to Hagerstown, Maryland. We believe that he started a new family and a new life for himself in that area. He may or may not have used the same name. I have been unable to come up with any information on him after he left Virginia. Please take a look at his picture, maybe someone out there will recognize him.
Cathy

Abandoned his family in the 40's, forcing them to briefly live with his brother Lewis R. Shifflett's family. The family never saw him again. There were reports that placed him in the Washington, D.C. or Maryland area at one time.

Hi Bob,
I had Arthur with wives Pearl Smoot and Dollie Robey but did not have Audrey ? or his children. Charles Howard is my great grandfather's brother who left his family and disappeared and to my knowledge was never heard from again. His son "Otis" had the family reunions in Virginia in the 1990's trying to see if anyone doing research might have heard where he ended up. There was a couple of possible sightings of him in and around Hagerstown, Maryland. One person is said to have seen him at the train station and called out his nickname "Crook". The man replied, "I am not Howard Shifflett" to which the other man replied, "I didn't call you Howard Shifflett". Also one of Howard's nephew's who worked for the telephone company said that he went to a house to hook up a new service and when he walked up on the porch a man was sitting on the swing with a baby. The nephew said "Uncle Howard is that you?" The man replied that his name was Jack Triplett but the nephew swears that it was his Uncle Howard Shifflett. Noone seems to know why he left the family and never returned. I have Arthur's siblings but nothing else other than the wives names above on Arthur.

Two Sentenced On Charges of Making Whiskey
Two area men received jail sentences in Federal District Court at Harrisonburg yesterday on convictions of manufacturing illegal whiskey. James Monroe Crawford of Greene County was ordered to serve two years in the federal penitentiary at Lewisburg, Pa. He had entered a guilty plea March 10 and appeared for sentencing yesterday. He was arrested by Albemarle County police and state and federal authorities as a result of a raid on a still site near Esmont July 22. Randolph Morris of the Free Union area was sentenced to eight months in the federal correctional institution at Millpoint, W. Va., after entering a plea of guilty to manufacturing moonshine whiskey. He was arrested in a raid near Amicus, Greene County, April 24.

Crawford Sought In Still Raid Case
Law enforcement officers are still seeking Monroe Crawford of Porter®s Precinct, who has been missing since a raid Monday morning on a still site near his home. Federal Tax Agent William Roberson swore out a federal warrant against Crawford yesterday in Harrisonburg. Crawford escaped from the raiding party and fled in his truck. Nine gallons of illegal whiskey were found near the Crawford home a few miles from Esmont. Albemarle Deputy Sheriff T. M. Whitten said the whiskey was hidden in the brush near the house. The eight Crawford children are still at the house. County officers surprised a couple identified as Crawford and his wife at the still early Monday morning. They fled, leaving behind a 5-gallon still and seven barrels of mash. The still, believed to have been in operation for about four years, was destroyed.

FATHER SHOT BY HIS SON

FORMER DEPUTY SHERIFF OF GREENE COUNTY WILL POSSIBLY RECOVER

----------------------
George Frank Morris Is Alleged To Have Been 'Tanked Up" and in a "Fit of Anger' -- Father and Brother of Edgar Morris Who Shot To Death Son Sullivan Several Years Ago
----------------------

Beldor, May 18. - Bacon Hollow was the scene Friday of another tragedy, which resulted almost fatally to G. N. Morris, former deputy sheriff of Greene County, who was shot by his son, G. F. Morris. The shooting occurred near Pine's Church. The son, it is alleged, was "tanked up" on 'old hen" and fired the shot. It is said, in a "fit of anger," the shot taking effect in his father's back.

It is asserted that young Morris, with a crowd of others, who it is claimed, were "full of home brew," went to the home of the elder Morris and began to play marbles for money. The former deputy sheriff remonstrated with the crowd, knowing their intoxicated condition. He realized that gambling, under such conditions, would perhaps, result seriously.

However, the crowd failed to heed the advice of the senor, and later engaged in a crap game whereupon Mr. Morris asserted that such a game at his house was positively prohibited. At this point, George Frank Morris went into the house for the gun. He fired two shots, only one taking effect.

After young Morris became sober, he was very much distressed at what he had done, and took an oath never to take another drink of "Bad liquor"

Morris, who fired the shot, which came near ending the life of his father, who is past middle age is a young man of twenty-one years.

According to reports the condition of the elder former deputy sheriff is not considered serious, but the wound is a painful one.

The principals in this shooting are the father and brother of Edgar Morris, who is now serving a sentence of twenty years for shooting Magistrate Son Sullivan, in the court room at Stanardsville, two years ago.

Noted events in his life were:

• He served in the military. US Army, World War I

Arrest Son-in-law in Mountain Shooting
James Noah Morris Seriously Wounded In Domestic Quarrel
Ivan M. Hall, 24, of Dyke, Va, was under arrest, charged with felonious shooting with intent to commit murder, as the result of a mountain shooting scrape last Sunday morning in which James Noah Morris, 67, was seriously wounded with a .32 caliber revolver. Morris is in University hospital in a serious condition. Should he die, the charges against Hall will be changed to murder, officers said. The shooting occurred in the mountain home of Morris. Hall, Morris® son-in-law, and the elderly man engaged in a domestic altercation which led to a fight. During the fight Morris was wounded with a bullet above the heart. State Trooper Parker was summoned but because of impassibility of the mountain roads, had to leave his car and walk a mile and a half to the mountain home. He found Morris in serious condition. Six men carried the elderly man on a cot the mile and a half to Parker®s car. Later at Stanardsville, he was transferred to an ambulance and taken to University hospital. Since the time of the shooting was fixed at 5:30 a.m., and they did not reach the hospital until that time in the afternoon, it was 12 hours before the victim received medical attention. Hall was later arrested in Boonesville, Albemarle county, on a tip received by Troopers Parker and Kidd.

One Killed, 8 Hurt In 2-Car Accident

An 82-year-old Augusta Spring man was injured fatally about 5:50 p.m Sunday when the vehicle in which we was a passenger, and operated by his grandson, was involved in a crash in the victim®s home community, according to police reports.

Eight others were injured, two seriously enough to be hospitalized, in the two car crash on Rt. 42, at its intersection with Rt. 811.

State police identified the victim as Elijah Carson Shiflett, who was employed for a number of years at Lehigh Portland Cement Co., Fordwick, prior to his retirement. Dr. H. McKelden Smith, medical examiner, said death was caused by lacerations of the face and a fractured pelvis.

The driver of the car in which the victim was riding was identified as Herbert Cecil Boyne, also of Augusta Springs, who escaped with a sprained right arm. Reported to be in "fair" condition at the Staunton hospital is Tracy Fox, Alexandria, identified as a passenger in a vehicle operated by Dale Thomas Bragg, Ft. Meade, Md. Mr Fox, according to police, received lacerations of the arm and head injuries.

Mr. Bragg, whose home address is Anstead, W.Va. and who is serving in the U.S. Army at Ft. Meade, Md., is reported in "satisfactory" condition at the University of Virginia Hospital, Charlottesville, He is being treated for multiple lacerations of the face and scalp and a fractured skull, according to police.

The investigating officer said the crash occurred when the vehicle operated south by Mr. Boyne was being turned left onto Rt. 811 and was cut in front of a vehicle operated south by Mr. Bragg.

Further Investigation

Police are making a further investigation. Damages to the Bragg automobile were estimated at $1,200 and to the Boyne car, $750. The police report said seat belts were in use in the Boyne automobile, but were not in use in the Bragg automobile although they were installed.

Mrs. Shifflett was born Dec. 18, 1881 in Albemarle County, a son of the late Ralph and Georgia Ann Shiflett.

JOSEPH HOBART SHIFFLETT
FRONT ROYAL --- Joseph Hobart Shifflett, 65, died yesterday in a Front Royal Hospital. He was born May 12, 1897, in Greene County, a son of the late Mollie Ann and Bryant Shifflett. Surviving him are his wife, Rosie Shifflett; a son, Joseph W. Shifflett, of Front Royal, and a grandchild. Funeral service will be held at 3 p.m. tomorrow at the Free Union Church of the Brethren, with burial in the church cemetery.

Bob, He is listed in the 1900 GCC - he is listed as a grandson of Peggy Shifflett, wife of Henderson Shiflett. If we look at the children under Henderson, I did not find a Mollie Ann, but there is a Polly Ann born in 1875. I don't have much on her except she died November 23, 1961, buried Free Union, Albemarle Co., Virginia. I am thinking that this is the mother of Joseph Hobart instead of Mollie Ann - If we get a chance to check her obit we might find the answer. As far as Bryant goes, there is only one that I know of who is in the right time frame - Bryant A. Shiflett married to Eva. Again, the obit of Polly Ann may shed some light on this. Later, Larry

Per obit of Lillian's sister, Bertha M. Shiflett, Lillian is living in Maryland in 1977. She is listed as Lillian Mowbray. When her brother died in 1967, she is listed as Lillian Shifflett of Baltimore Maryland. When her father, Lindsay Shifflett died in 1939, she was listed as Mrs. Lillian Mowbray. I don't know why she would be called Mowbray if she married Winston Shifflet in 1935.

ETHEL SHIFFLETT SHOT AND KILLED BY EDGAR YOUNG
Grottoes Girl Is Dead As Result of Jealousy Says Her Sister. - IN RICHMOND SEVEN MONTHS
After Murdering Young Woman Gunman Ends His Own Life. Left a Letter to His Mother.
RICHMOND. June 11, 1918 - Edgar Young, twenty-four years old, shot and killed Ethel Shifflett, of Grottoes, who was rooming at the same place with him, here today at 10:45 o®clock. He then committed suicide. Maggie Shifflett, nineteen year old sister of the murdered girl, was accidentally shot through the hand and in the breast by the same bullet which killed her sister. The cause of the shooting was jealously according to the statement of Maggie Shifflett yesterday afternoon at the Virginia Hospital. Young was a blacksmith helper and was employed in a shop on 15th Street. The two girls came to Richmond about seven months ago and worked in a paper bag factory. Young entered their room yesterday morning and locked the door behind him. Miss Shifflett said she was awakened by her sister calling the name of Young. When Maggie saw the revolver in the hands of Young, according to her own statement, she threw her body between her sister and the gun. Ethel buried her head in the pillow with Maggie®s arms around her. Young then struck her in the eye and worked her to one side. In terror, Maggie clinging to her sister as Young threw her to one side, her grip turned her sister over on her face. Young then shot Ethel through the heart and the bullet which killed Ethel also wounded Maggie in the hand and in the left breast. He then shot himself. A man in the rooming house heard the shots and as the door was locked, forced an entry through a window and found the body. Coroners and police were then notified. It was deemed no inquest was necessary. Young was a native of Edgar, Caroline County, while the two girls came here from Freemans. Young was said to have threatened the girl®s life several times. He left a letter to his mother and one to the proprietor of the rooming house telling them that he had been jilted by the girl and he intended to kill the girl and himself. Both bodies were turned over to an undertaker here.

Climbing through the window she found Young lying across the bed with blood streaming from his head, and the victim of Young's gun was breathing her last, while the older Miss Shifflett was groaning in agony from her wounds and in horror from the terrible sight which she had witnessed. Mr. Evers called for assistance and the elder Miss Shifflett was taken to the hospital where her condition is said to be not serious. Young had entered the girls' room while both of them were in bed. He roomed across the hall.

HENRY SHIFLETT DIES FOLLOWING A FIGHT
Charlottesville, Sept. 8 - Henry Shiflett, a farmer living in the Blue Ridge mountains in the northwestern end of the county, died today at the University hospital from injuries alleged to have been inflicted by Leonard Shiflett during the course of a fight which took place yesterday afternoon near Mission Home. Shiflett's wounds includes a fracture of the skull and severe lacerations of the scalp.
Just as Sheriff Smith was preparing to leave this afternoon for the mountains to search for Leonard Shiflett, in walked Leonard Shiflett, who surrendered. The facts leading up to the shooting will probably be divulged at the inquest. The victim of the fight leaves a wife and seven children. His alleged assailant is also married.

TWO ARE HELD FOR HENRY SHIFLETT'S DEATH
Following announcement of the death of Henry Shiflett Sunday in a fight which was said to have taken place late that afternoon in the road near Mission Home, a warrant was issued for his alleged assailant, Leonard Shiflett. Armed with the warrant, Sheriff J. Mason Smith was about to set out Monday afternoon to find the man when Shiflett appeared here and surrendered himself to the authorities, whereupon he was taken before Bail Commissioner W. F. Long, and gave bond for his appearance before the court, and was subsequently released.
At the coroner's inquest held in the courthouse yesterday by Magistrate B. Z. Irving much testimony was heard, but no eye witnesses to the affair were present, and no evidence as to the origin of the trouble was introduced, except by Lacy Bruce, a youth who claims that he did not see enough to understand the cause which led to the brutal attack. Dr. W. G. Rainey, of the University hospital, was the first witness called and his testimony was confined to his examination of the body of Henry Shiflett when it came to him for an autopsy. Dr. Rainey described the injuries as consisting of numerous bruises over the scalp and face, as well as on both shins, and a cut about 4 1/2 inches long on the left side of the head, laying back the scalp and exposing the bone, below which there was a depressed fracture of the skull. There was also a contused wound above the left eye.
Warren Davis and Cary Hawley testified that they in company with Moses Via, were approaching the spot where Henry Shiflett was lying in the road when they were met by Lawrence Burruss, of the Free Union section, who urged them to hurry on to the relief of a man who was being killed a little further up the road. Mr. Burruss stopped his car and returned with the other gentlemen and told how he had tried to prevail on the men gathered about Shiflett to permit him to take the wounded man to a hospital, but they protested and he (Burruss) was compelled to leave the man to his fate. However, upon his return with the gentlemen mentioned, they later placed Shiflett in the automobile, and Mr. Burruss brought him to the hospital, where he died soon after being taken to the operating room.
Lacy Bruce, the youth already referred to, told of an argument which arose between Leonard and Henry Shiflett while they were at a house considerable distance from the place where the latter was attacked in the road, but Bruce's testimony threw little light on the assault.
During the course of the hearing, the name of Monroe Morris was connected repeatedly with the occurrence, and his attitude toward Henry Shiflett after he was found on the roadside, so a warrant was issued for him, and the verdict of the coroner's jury holds him also responsible for the death of Shiflett.

Sheriff Smith went at once to apprehend Morris, who was brought to jail late yesterday afternoon. -Charlottesville Progress, Sept. 10.

SHIFLETT CONVICTED, IS GIVEN TWENTY YEARS
Guilty of murder in the first degree, and punishment fixed at 20 years in the state penitentiary, was the verdict returned Friday by a jury in the Albemarle county circuit court in the case of the Commonwealth against Linwood E. Shiflett, of the Boonesville section. The jury in the case were Messrs. L. J. Poats, foreman; P. H. Leake, W. M. Clarke, P. E. Rothwell, D. R Harris, J. C. Phillips, W. C Thacker Jr., Ashby Wood, W. W. Hudson, S. C. Miller, Henry H. Harris, and E. E. Rosenkrans.

The accused was indicted at the December term of the court for the murder of Henry Harrison Shiflett, Sept. 7, last, in the course of a fight at the house of Bryant Shiflett, near Mission Home. The fight was in two parts, the first at the Shiflett place, in which Henry was worsted and went off up the road after Bryant had parted them. The accused found he was cut by the deceased in this mix-up, and it is alleged at the urging of Monroe Morris, who was present, went after him and again gave him a severe mauling, both of these men being charged with causing his death a few hours later. Morris was indicted jointly with Shiflett, but elected to be tried separately, and the Commonwealth selected the case against Linwood Shiflett was the first to be taken up. Shiflett's trial was started Jan. 26, and lasted four days, the jury Jan. 30, announcing they were hopelessly divider and a mistrial was ordered. After the finding of the jury was announced, the defense made the usual motion to set aside on the ground that the verdict was contrary to the law and the evidence, which will be argued before Judge John W. Fishburne later.
The convicted man was returned to county jail, after a brief but sorrowful parting with members of his family, who have stood by him to the end. Monroe Morris, also was returned to jail to await trial on the indictment, both defendants having been refused bail after the trial held in January.

SHOOTING AT VANWOOD
Results in Death of Leo Shiflett
Monday
On yesterday afternoon Leo Shiflett, a miner of Vanwood, this county, was shot by Deputy Sheriff Dillon for resisting arrest and about 6 o'clock of the same evening died in the Berkeley hospital from the effects of the wound. It seems a Negro had a warrant sworn out for the arrest of Shiflett, and Dillon who is superintendent of the mine in Vanwood went to the tipple there to arrest him. Shiflett, it is said refused to surrender to the officer and was consequently shot, Dillon says, in self defense. The bullet entered the man's hip and passing through his stomach went entirely through his body. He was immediately rushed to the hospital here but died a few minutes after arriving.

Leo married Willie Susan Thompson Fox, daughter of Harvey Joseph Fox Jr. and Virginia Katherine Harrah, on 8 Jul 1913 in Fayette Co., WV. Willie was born on 2 Jun 1897, died on 7 Jul 1975 in Berkeley Co., WV at age 78, and was buried in Harrah Cemetery, Backus Mtn., Meadow Bridge, Fayette Co., WV. Another name for Willie was Susie.

Received from Brenda Shiflett 19 May 2000 (bshif8@mail.firstva.com)

Sam must have died 5 Jun 1931. I found an article in the Greene County Record and The Daily Progress on the shooting.

The article from The Greene County Record, Thursday, June 11, 1931 reads:

SAMUEL SHIFLETT DIES FROM BULLET SHOT BY KINSMAN
As the result of a shooting Tuesday, May 26 allegedly brought on by a childhood grudge Samuel Shiflett, 30 of near Mission Home is dead and Roy Shiflett his cousin is charged with murder. Shiflett died at University hospital Friday night 10 days after the shooting and 2 days following the removal of the fatal bullet from his chest, where it had lodged, causing partial lung collapse and infection of the thorax the ultimate cause of death. His condition at first was not thought to be serious but little hope had been held for him during the past several days.

According to the wounded man Roy Shiflette approached him the day of the shooting with the accusation that he, Sam, had hit him with rocks when they were children, whereupon he said, Roy drew his pistol and fired, sending a bullet into his kinsman's left shoulder. The scene was a remote country road in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the vicinity of the residence of both men. Sam was not felled by the shot, he said, but walked to his home from where he was brought here, evidently not realizing the extent of his injury.

A warrant for Roy was sworn out the following day by Kemper Shiflett, brother, of Sam, charging felonious shooting and the day after that Roy gave himself to Sheriff J. Mason Smith. After being held for a time, he was released on bond pending the recovery of his victim sufficient to allow him to appear in court. A second warrant was sworn out Saturday before Magistrate Colhurst by David D. Shiflett, another brother of Sam, charging Roy with murder.

Sam Shiflett is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Garland Shiflett, four brothers and one sister, all of Mission Home. The funeral was held at Prize Hill church Saturday afternoon -- Charlottesville Progress. Roy Shiflett was arrested by Sheriff Smith Saturday afternoon.

SHIFLETT MURDER TRIAL UNDER WAY
Youth Charged With Killing Arraigned In Circuit Court
PLEADS NOT GUILTY
Defendant Maintains He Fired Bullet to Save Himself From Death

Roy Shiflett, twenty-two, of Greenwood, today went on trial in Circuit Court charged with the murder of Sam Shiflett in a fight at Mission Home, the morning of May 26. He entered a plea of not guilty and his attorneys, R. C. Walker and George Walker, are attempting to establish grounds of self-defense. In his opening statement, R. C. Walker asserted the evidence would bring out the fact that the defendant shot to save his own life only after he had been attacked by Sam Shiflett and two other men. The affair took place at a school commencement exercise at Mission Home. Although the prisoner has the same last name as the victim, it was stated they were no kin and neither knew the other.

State's Version
The State contends, as represented by commonwealth's Attorney W. O. Fife and E. V. Walker, that Shiflett killed the man because of an old grudge. Mr. Fife said in opening the testimony would disclose that the prisoner held a hatred for the other man because he suspected him of being one of a quartet that assaulted him with rocks three years ago. The defense attorneys stated they would show Roy Shiflett was first attacked by Sam Shiflett; his brother, Kemper Shiflett, and a man by the name of Elsie Sullivan. They maintain that Sam Shiflett struck at Roy several times with a knife, chased him over two or three fences, and finally cornered him, with the result that the former received a mortal wound. The first witness to be called was an instructor in surgery from the University Hospital, who described Sam Shifflett's wound and told how it caused his death on June 6. He said the bullet was fired at close range.

Tells of Killing
Kemper Shiflett, the slain's man's brother, and one of the three which the defense maintains attacked Roy Shiflett, was the second to be put on the stand. He said Roy Shiflett pulled out the gun without provocation and that his brother was killed when he "lunged for the gun." He declared that after the shooting, Roy Shiflett cried, "I've shot the wrong man." Shiflett came to Charlottesville and surrendered a short time after the killing. Since that time he has been at liberty on $10,000. He is a short, bullet-nosed youth, with jerky piercing eyes. He grinned constantly during Kemper Shiflett's recital of the occurrence. The jury trying the case is composed of the following: S. T. Mahanes, R. T. Bramham, G. A. Via, C. E Herron, George T. Gentry, W. E. Payne, T. H. Desper, B. B. Burrus, Custis Pace, E. S. Clark, T. C. Key, and L. J. Cook. The trial will probably last throughout tomorrow. Judge L. F. Smith is presiding.

SHIFLETT GIVEN 18 MONTHS TERM IN PENITENTIARY
Is Found Guilty of Voluntary Manslaughter In Death of Sam Shiflett

Circuit Court Judge L. F. Smith this morning sentenced Roy Shiflett, twenty four, of Greenwood, to spend eighteen months in the state penitentiary for the shooting of Sam Shiflett at Mission Home last May 26. The defendant was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter by a jury shortly before 1 o'clock this morning, after a fifteen hour trial in which evidence was brought out to show there were a good many extenuating circumstances in the shooting. Sentence was withheld at the request of defense counsel until they could decide whether motion would be made to have the verdict set aside as contrary to law and the evidence. R. C. Walker who with George Walker, represented Shiflett, announced that no motion would be made.

Sentenced Passed
In passing sentence Judge Smith gave the prisoner a friendly lecture, advising him to abide by the prison rules and to return and avoid trouble for the rest of his life. He stated he thought the jurors had acted wisely in not making the punishment any more severe. In his brief statement the judge condemned the practice of carrying guns. The shooting occurred at a school commencement exercise in the morning of May 26. Although the testimony on both sides was conflicting, it appeared that Roy Shiflett became engaged in a controversy with Sam Shiflett, Kemper Shiflett, and Elise Sullivan and that he shot after knives and sticks had been brought to play. The last named Shifletts were not kin to the slayer.

Trial Goes Into Night
The case came to trial yesterday morning and was carried over into the night in order to end it in one day. Judge Smith this morning explained to attorneys he would not have held night session if he had known it would take so long. The State was represented by Commonwealth's Attorney W. O. Fife and E. V. Walker. The jury composed of the following: Foreman B. B. Burruss, S. T. Mahanes, R. T. Branham, G. A. Via, C. R. Herron, George T. Gentry, W. E. Payne, T. H. Desper, Custis Pace, E. S. Clark, T. C. Key, and L. J. Cook. The case went to the jury at 11 o'clock and the verdict was returned at 12:45 o'clock this morning.

White Hall Youth Kills His Father
Fires As His Parents Struggle On Couch
A 17 year-old boy shot and killed his father at their home near White Hall Saturday night as his father gripped his mother in a strangle hold. Sheriff W. S. Cook said David Shiflett, 17, returned to his home Saturday and found his parents fighting. The boy told the Sheriff he went to a trailer in the yard of the house where his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hunt, make their home, and picked up a 10 gauge shotgun. When David returned to his house, he told Cook, he found his father, Lloyd Kemper Shiflett, 51, and his mother, Cora Frazier Shiflett, struggling on the couch. he said his father had his arm hooked behind, and she was lying on top of him. David told the sheriff he shot his father from a distance of five feet, over his mother's head. The load entered Shiflett's throat under the chin, killing him instantly according to Cook. Cook received the call to the Shiflett home at 9:50 p.m. and went to the house after sending Deputy G. W. Bailey from Crozet. The officers found Shiflett dead when they arrived. The police were called by David and Edward Hunt from a phone in Dolyesville. Mrs. Shiflett is the only witness to the shooting.
David was free today on $2,000 bail, awaiting a hearing in Trial Justice Court. Mrs. Shiflett received only minor injuries in the scuffle with her husband and was not hurt in the shooting. Besides David and Mrs. Hunt, Mr. and Mrs. Shiflett were the parents of eight other children, Dorothy, Juanita, Daniel, William, Vernon, Earl, Eugene and Roger Lee Shiflett, all of White Hall. Shiflett is also survived by two brothers, David Shiflett of Boonesville and Linwood Shiflett of White Hall; and a sister Mrs. Willie Shiflett of Greene County. Shiflett was born in Albemarle County, and was the son of the late Garland and Catherine Morris Shiflet. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday from Prize Hill Church at Boonesville, with interment in the church cemetery

FATHER'S KILLING
Grand Jury To hear 17 - Year Old's Case
David Shifflett of Near White Hall was held for the Albemarle grand jury in the killing of his father after a two and a half hour preliminary hearing yesterday afternoon in Trial Justice Court. David, 17, was in the county jail this morning for lack of $2,000 bond. A family friend, who went bond before the hearing, was found yesterday to have misrepresented the value of her property. David is accused of shooting his father, Kemper Lloyd Shifflett Feb. 25 at their home after a family argument. Mrs. Shifflett said that her husband was choking her when David fired the fatal shot with a 10-gauge shotgun.

Mrs. Shifflett testified that her husband had been drinking and was having a "wild spell" when he began arguing with her and threatening her with a knife. She told the court that her children "ran off and left me," and went to a nearby trailer, the home of her-son-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hunt. Members of the family said they stayed at the trailer and decided to spend the night there because they were afraid to go home. An overnight guest Peggy Garrison, said she found the couple struggling when she went to the house for her suitcase, and told David of the fight when she returned to the trailer. Witnesses said David took the shotgun, went to the house, and returned, saying he had shot his father. Mrs. Shifflett said her husband had her gripped around the neck and was choking her when David arrived with the gun. She said David asked what was going on, and that his father cursed him. She said he fired without aiming and that "it's a wonder he didn't kill me." David did not testify in his own defense.

Mrs. Shifflett said in answer to a question that she did not try to leave the house because she was afraid her husband would come to the trailer and shoot them all. She stated that he had gotten out his gun twice before during the course of the evening. Vernon Shifflett, 12, said he had returned to the house and hidden in the dining room, thus becoming a witness to the shooting. Deputy Sheriff G. W. Bailey, who responded to the Hunt's call, said he found no signs of a struggle in the house and that members of the family appeared calm when he arrived. Besides Mrs. Shifflett, Mr. and Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. Garrison and Vernon, those who testified were, Dorothy, 14; Earl, 8; and Juanita 10. All are children of the Shiffletts. Another son, William, 19 was not at home that night, and a son, Daniel, is in the state penitentiary. Roger Lee 6, refused to testify.

Shiflett Guilty Of Manslaughter
Ordered To Jail To Await Sentencing

David Shiflett, 17, was found guilty in Circuit Court yesterday afternoon of voluntary manslaughter in the shooting Feb. 25 of his father Kemper Lloyd Shiflett, at their home near White Hall. Shiflett was sent to the county jail to await sentencing, which will follow a report by the probation officer. he faces of from one to five years in the penitentiary on the Circuit Court conviction. Judge Lyttelton Waddell found Shiflett guilty about 3 p.m. yesterday after an all day hearing. Shiflett maintained that he fired at his father without taking aim as his father was choking his mother. The load from the 10-gauge shotgun struck the elder Shiflett in the throat. Mrs. Shiflett and other members of the family said the elder Shiflett had threatened his wife with a knife during the course of the evening. David had gone to a nearby trailer, the home of his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hunt, where he took his shotgun. Several of his brothers and sisters were also at the trailer. He said he returned home and fired over his mother's at his father. The knife was found folded up in Shiflett's pocket. The prosecution contended that David could not have fired without taking aim and that the shooting climaxed a general family argument.

Lloyd married Cora Lee Frazier, daughter of Cleveland Watts Frazier and Sarah Jane Garrison, on 29 Jul 1929. Cora was born on 15 Oct 1915 in Greene Co., VA, died on 19 Oct 1997 in Albemarle Co., VA at age 82, and was buried in Prize Hill Cemetery, Boonesville, Albemarle Co., VA.

1999, Family information from Talmadge Shifflett. TSofVA@aol.com
On the Greene Co. Voter Poll tax list of 1902 there is a J.W. Shifflett listed with a birthdate of Oct. 6, 1868. According to his son Arthur Shifflett's birth registration John was 46 years old at the time of Arthur's birth in Feb 1915. That would put John born in 1868. Since we know that his month of birth was October, I believe the J.W. Shifflett on the 1902 Poll Tax list is this John Wesley Shifflett. Also, John Wesley was listed as 11 yrs old in the 1880 GCC. Since the census was taken in June 1880 and he was 11 and his birth was in October, I feel that the birth year of 1868 is correct. I have no hard evidence to substantiate this. Just circumstantial.

Email from Talmadge Shifflett Ju. 13, 2011
As of August 2002 John's grave has a marker. It was put there by some of his descendants. Monroe Township, Greene Co., Va census shows John's birth as Oct 1869. I believe this to be one year off. According to evidence in earlier Census records his birth should read Oct 1868. On the Greene Co. Voter Poll tax list of 1902 there is a J.W. Shifflett listed with a birthdate of Oct. 6, 1868. According to his son Arthur Shifflett's birth registration John was 46 years old at the time of Arthur's birth in Feb 1915. That would put John born in 1868.

Since the census was taken in June1880 and he was 11 and his birth was in October, I feel that the birth year of 1868 is correct. 1870 GCC has John as 1 yr old in June 1870. This would put him as 2 years in Oct 1870.

John married Matilda A. Conley, daughter of Zachariah Conley and Susan Ellen Morris, on 16 Oct 1887 in Greene Co., VA. Matilda was born on 7 Mar 1870 in Greene Co., VA, died on 3 Mar 1952 in Albemarle Co., VA at age 81, and was buried in Christian Church Cemetery, Dyke, Greene Co., VA.

Also, the sister mentioned as Virgie was actually Virgie Collier.

In Memoriam
In memory of my husband, Andrew Jackson Roach, who passed away 24 years ago today, April 4, 1050
Days have passed, years have gone,
Your memory with me still lingers on.
Your work on earth was hard,
Your years on earth were few.
And as those sad years pass
I often think of you.
There was a time we had to part,
No more this earth to roam,
When you left me you took a part of my heart,
And a part of my home.
Life has never meant the same
Since you were called away
It would be so sweet to meet again
And be in heaven some day.
We loved you while here on earth
When death came it was hard to bear.
