Pierce Family Memories

The Key to the
Numbering system: Each descendant listed
is first found under his/her parents name, on the far left side of the
page. A number is given if the person has children. Go forward
to the number found in bold type at the left to find the person with
their spouse and children.
1. HARDY
PIERCE The Cora Pierce family
bible has Hardy next to Arthurs name. It
could be his father as it appears or the person writing the entry could be
confused with all of the other Hardy
Pierces in this family tree. no
proof has been found so far. I also
found two other researchers that had Hardy as the parent.
Children of HARDY
PIERCE are:
2. i. ARTHUR PIERCE, b. Abt. 1774, Wake County, NC;
d. June 04, 1854, Overton, TN.
3. ii. JOHN PIERCE, b. Abt. 1772, NC; d. 1808, Carter
Co. Tn..
4. iii. HARDY PIERCE, b. Abt. 1770, Wake, NC; d.
February 11, 1851, Overton, TN.
Arthur, Hardy and John were
blacksmiths. Blacksmiths were critical
to the early communities. Not only did they shoe the horses and build the wagons
but they also made wagon wheel rims and made repairs. As commerce picked up and
more settlers arrived, there was an increasing demand for plows and rifles.The
Revolutionary War effort alone provided a great demand for blacksmiths and
gunsmiths. The loggers needed saws and axes as well as chains and hooks.
Homesteaders needed hardware and house wares, most of which the blacksmith
made. Blacksmiths made and repaired hinges, household goods, farm implements,
tools, and locks.
Life in
the mountains: Most everything was made
by hand: wool hats, shoes, tools and
bedding filled with cattails, oak leaves or corn shucks, unless one was lucky
enough to collect feathers to fill a tick.
They made their own candles but often were forced to use saucers filled with
tallow and a cloth wick, which were called sluts. They often had to use molasses instead of
sugar as sweetening. Usually once a year
people would organize horse or ox teams and head for South Carolina or Georgia
for staples such as salt and sugar.
Each community had a mill to grind corn
into meal. It was a custom that for every turn of ground corn, the miller got a
small measure, called a toddick. It was
a rule that every man work one day a month on the roads. Most of the furniture was handmade and held
together with wood dowels.
Women had to work very
hard. Besides cooking and cleaning, they
joined together in making quilts and coverlets, helped to plant, hoe and gather
crops; they even plowed and split rails,
if needed. They made cider and molasses
and made all the clothing on spinning wheels and looms.
For relaxation and social activity, the
communities got together for corn shuckings and molasses pulls. This was designed to promote courtships.
Music was played on banjos or an adaptation of the German zither called a
dulcimer, a oblong string instrument created in the Appalachian Mountains.
In the 1790's, it was still dangerous
in East Tennessee. The settlers had suffered greatly at the
hands of the Indians during the Revolutionary War. Even after the war, the Indians continued to attack and raid
the white settlers. There are many
records of attacks upon settlers and
cabin-homes throughout all the territory of Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky
during the 1790's
Generation No. 2

HISTORY: The Pierces
now living in Pickett Co Tenn are all descendants of Arthur and Hardy Pierce
who were supposedly brothers. Arthur
& Hardy were born in North Carolina during the 1770's. They came to East Tenn in the early 1800's
and were in Overton Co., Tenn, (now Pickett Co., Tenn) in the Oak Hill
Community by 1830. Arthur & Hardy Pierce were both members of the Wolf
River United Baptist Church. Arthur was
dismissed from the church. It appears
Arthur may have moved back to East Tenn and then returned to Overton Co., Tenn
where he was living in 1850 with the family - listed above . According to
Caryle Amonett, the early Pierces were blacksmiths, and their shop was
located on the present John L. Johnson farm in the Oak Hill Community of
Pickett Co Tenn. Arthur died in 1854.
History of Families in Pickett Co
Tenn.
In 1819, The Sewells, The Tompkins, The
Cargills, The Staleys, The Parsons, The Pierces and others who had come from
WILKES CO North Carolina and settled along the Wolf River, formed the nucleus
for the membership of Wolf River Baptist Church. Arthur Pierce donated the original site for
the church. Later a "reform
movement" led by "Raccoon John" Smith, Alexander Campbell,
Jonathan Young and the Sewell brothers, left the congregation in August of 1842
and started another church later to be known as the Christian Church.
____________________________________
RELIGION: On May 5,
1821, Arthur and Nancy Pierce were 2 of the 28 Charter members of the Wolf
River Baptist Church, in Overton Co. TN.
____________________________________
Arthur divorced his
first wife to marry a younger woman. His
2nd wife died.
His 3rd wife was
excluded from Wolf River United Baptist Church "for swearing on a Bible,
making mischief between Viney Cole and husband, and being unreasonable in the
correction of Mary Ann's stepchildren. p
29 June Rayfield Welch
Arthur and 3rd wife, Mary Marbrey divorced.
___________
source for Jane's birth
date is Church of Latterday Saints family files. There is the possibility that Elizabeth ,
Rebecca or Jane are Hardy's children.
Researchers are disagreeing and I have seen no proof.
No proof that Mary
Fitzgerald was wife of Arthur. Our
family bible did not list Griffin Pierce's mother. The name has come from other researchers. I did find a NC will record online for John
Fitzgerald who died 1751 and mentioned
his daughter Mary Fitzgerald Pierce and husband Arthur. These dates make it impossible to be this
Arthur Pierce. Robert Nave, Historian
suspects that a Griffin was the first wife.
"According to Wolf River Baptist Church
records. Nancy died 1824." Nancy Thomkins Pierce & Arthur were early
members of Wolf River Church.

Joseph Cable is the son of Casper Cable and
Elizabeth Baker. Casper was born 1755.
He lived with his family in
Hanover, Germany and was nineteen years old when he came to America with the
company of Hessian soldiers who were paid by the British to fight against the
Colonists. He was captured by George
Washington at Trenton, New Jersey on Dec 26, 1776. He volunteered out of prison and fought with
the colonists until the end of the war.
For his service Casper was given a grant of land by the American
Government for hundreds of acres of land in what is now Johnson County. He
owned many slaves who cleared the land and carried on considerable
farming. Later Casper had a large apple
orchard. The apples were used in making
brandy. It has been told while
Casper lived in Hanover, Germany, his father had arranged a marriage for him
with a girl who was many years older, and who was scarred from smallpox. Financially it was a great match for Casper;
however he was opposed to the match. As
the wedding date drew near, he became desperate and ran away to join the German
Army. He was then sent to the province
of Hesse Cassel. He was one of 22,000
troops hired by England to fight the Colonists.
Casper
was a friend of Julius Ceasar Dugger. Casper was a prosperous man and
had great pride in his family. When Adam
Mast came over the mountains from Valle Crucis to pay court to Casper's
daughter, Ellizabeth, and the wedding date was announced, Casper saddled his
horse and swung on his saddlebags and traveled many miles by bridle-path
through the wilderness to Jonesboro to buy Elizabeth's wedding trousseau. It took three days to make the trip. Casper's children: Joseph, Peter b. 1792, Benjamin b. 1789,
Conrad, John, Casper Jr, Sarah, Daniel,Samuel, Elizabeth

records says that Sarah Pierce Archer b. 1836 had 2 brother's, "Cy"
short for Sion and Richard. Robert
Pierce, a grandson of Eliza Archer
Rains, says that his grandfather said Richard Pierce was a brother to
Sarah. Other descendents of Eliza Archer
say that Sarah had brothers named Henry and George, and a sister named
Elizabeth. There is an unidentified child on the 1830 Census that
could be Elizabeth age 10-15.

-----------------------------------
History of Tennessee
Valley Baptist church: The TN Valley
Baptist Church ranks as one of the oldest houses of worship in Vermillion
County, Indiana. The church still stands
on the land that was once settled by a native of the state of TN. Mr Thomas Dugger, who did not believe in
slavery.
Before the Civil War
began Mr. Thomas Dugger travelled north on horseback to Indiana to look at the
Free State and traded his farm and home located in Tennessee for this land
where this church stands. In 1860, Mr Dugger
left his family to return to Vermillion County to visit the Indiana land he had
purchased. He liked what he saw and
promptly named his new land and the surrounding land, Tennessee Valley.
The Civil War
intervened and his family was unable to join him until 1864. When the war ended, Thomas went back to
Tennessee and to bring his family, friends and some relatives, who were against slavery, to his land in
Indiana.
"the Old
Records" stated "They had occasion leave the State of Tennessee, it
not being very healthy there during and
after the war."
By 1870, other friends
and relatives of the Dugger family had came to live in the Tennessee Valley,
Indiana. All of those people were
Baptists and they brought their membership cards to the Heidle Baptist Church
in Vermillion County.
Elder William McMasters
of Montzuma was the pastor of that church and he received permission to preach
one sermon per month in the Staats School where the Dugger group maintained a
mission house. Pastor William McMasters
held a revival meeting that resulted in the addition of 3 new members to the
Dugger Group.
In September, 1872, the
Tennessee Valley Baptist Church was organized in the Staats School. The first members were: Thomas Dugger and wife, James B. Lewis and
wife, Henry J. Howard and wife, Rose J.
Pierce Underwood, James A. G. Dugger and Wife, John J Dugger and Benjamin
Dugger and wife

GunSmith (gunsmithing required the skills of a blacksmith, and woodworker to build a gun. A finished
weapon required fine detail work on iron and steel, the carving of decorative
designs, hammering and casting brass and silver into complex shapes, and
engraving hard and soft metals. ) Because imported firearms were cheaper than
those made in America, the gunsmith mainly repaired guns and other objects.
Gunsmiths often repaired axes and other items made by blacksmiths, cast shoe
buckles and other items like bells, and sometimes repaired silver objects.

Lincoln Plantation, Carter, TN. His wife was Phoebe Williams. Thirteen children and one step-son listed on
unprobated Will found in the office of the County Clerk's Office Carter, TN
dated 1867.
Robert Campbell Crow's father also named
Robert Crow ( Phoebe's Great grandfather) was born abt 1750. Robert (b. 1750) enlisted December 1777 for 3
years in the Revolutionary War. He served as private in Capt. Joseph Crockett's
Company, 7th VA regiment. With that
company, he marched from Fincastle County, VA (Wythe) to Valley Forge, PA. Then he went to Monmouth Courthouse, NJ on June 28, 1788. He fought in the Battle of Monmouth
Courthouse. His next move was to White
Plains, NY. In July 1779, he was given
early discharge from the army for apprehending 3 deserters. By 1804, he was living in Carter County,
TN. Robert applied for a war pension on Oct, 1819. In 1822, Robert stated his wife, age 67, was
nearly blind and that he was old and very infirmed and indigent and incapable
of supporting himself by his own labor.
In 1823, he received pension of $8.00 per month. Robert
and wife Nancy lived in
Washington, VA on the south side of the Middle Fork of the Holston River. In 1797, they are found in Carter, TN until

Botetourt, VA, Robert, who just turned age 21, is declared by his father,
Robert Crow, to be his son.
(Robert Crow's ancestry has been traced to
John Crow, Esquire, Adventurer, of Waterford, Ireland, who booked passage for
100 persons from London, England to Virginia in the early 1600s. "Descendants From First Families of
Virginia and Maryland," by Maude Crowe, Copyright - 1978.)
Pheobe's mother was
Elizabeth Hart. Elizabeth was the
daughter of Leonard Hart born 1758 in
Germany and his wife Mary Emmert Poland.
Leonard Hart (Phoebe's grandfather)
and two of his brothers went to North Carolina and fought in the
Revolution with the NC Patriots.
Leonard went to
Sullivan County, TN and settled on land near Beaver Creek and the Holston
River.
Leonard was one of the
over-mountain men from Sullivan County who gathered at Sycamore Shoals on the
Watauga River and left on September 25, 1780 for the march to King's Mountain,
South Carolina. There British forces were
killed or captured on October 7, 1780.
Although Leonard was in the ranks, he did not engage in the shooting
warfare because he and several others, came down with smallpox on the way to
the battle. Within the sound of battle, these men with smallpox were left to
guard the horses of those who did the fighting.
In 1792, Leonard bought
400 acres in Sullivan County. Ten
children were born in Sullivan County before his first wife Sally Goodman died.
In 1807, He sold most
of his Sullivan county land. He left his
son, John, there to farm the remaining 50 acres and moved to Carter County.
Leonard paid Joseph Sevier $1,500.00 for 200 acres
near Sycamore Shoals.
He married 2nd (
married about 1808) Mary Emmert widow of John Poland. They had 4 children.
In 1812, Leonard was
deeded 139 acres in Sullivan County, founded on TN land grant # 2318, issued on
February 1, 1796. Two months after he
registered this grant, he sold the land.
Part went to his son John and part to John Smith of Sullivan County.
In 1823, He married
Phoebe Profitt, no children were born of
this marriage.
In 1823, during a spell
of sickness, Leonard made a legal agreement with his son, William, who was to
inherit all of his father's land and property in exchange for caring for Phoebe
Profitt Hart and William's younger brothers and sisters and making payment to
the older children. However, William died in 1825.
In 1847, Leonard gave 1
acre of land in Turkeytown to the
Baptist meeting house.
When Leonard died in
1852, the remainder of his land was divided between his sons Solomon and
Abraham.
Tombstone at Sinking
Creek Cemetery reads: HART, Leonard
1758-1852, "An overmountain man and Revolutionary War Veteran of the Kings Mountain Battle is
buried in these grounds".

James B. Pierce's
pension record contains a deposition dated December 29. 1886 from Sarah Jane
Dugger Pierce. states:
My name is Sarah Jane Pierce. I am 49 year
old, I am widow of William C. Pierce and I live near Duggers Ferry, TN. I am
cousin of Henry C. Pierce, Our fathers were half-brothers. I know
Frankie Pierce, wife of Henry C. Pierce.
I am not connected with her except through her husband. I have known Frankie Pierce and her family
all my life. At the time the war broke
out, I lived within 2 miles of said Henry Pierce with the Watauga River between
us. And ever since 1860, I have lived
within 3 miles and part of the time within 1/4 of a mile of her. From 1860 until Sarah Ann moved away to Indiana. I lived within 1/4 of a mile of Mrs Sarah Ann
Pierce who is also my cousin. I know James
B. Pierce son of Frankie Pierce who was said to have died in service while a
member of Co A 13 Tenn Cav. James worked for my husband a month in Spring of
the year in which he enlisted in the Fall.
He did farm work for my husband and for his labor we gave his mother
some bacon and bread-stuff while he was still working. what was not paid for of his labor was
settled for by my husband with the mother of said James B. after said son
enlisted. The son told us when he left
our employ to finish paying him by giving what we owed him to his mother
Frankie Pierce. The contribution so made
was necessary to the support of Frankie Pierce because she was poor and did not
have much.
Henry C. Pierce, husband of Frankie Pierce
could not support his family because the Rebels would not let him stay at home
to work "a man could not work and scout in the woods". If
Henry ever had complained of having rheumatism before the war or ever
walked lame or used a cane, I did not know it.
Henry has been complaining of rheumatism in his knees ever since he came
out of the army, whenever I have seen
him and I saw him within a week after his return home from the war. Sometimes he complains of hurting all
over. I first saw him lame the next
winter after he came home. I saw him one
winter with his leg all drawed up and he had to walk on his cane. That was after the war and while he was
teaching school or had just finished a term.
Except the lameness and the drawed- up leg, I have never seen any
evidence of his having rheumatism. Mrs.
Pierce has worked out ever since I have known her and this family have always
been poor and dependant on their own labor for their living. Sarah J Pierce
David Jesse Morely,

Deposition A Case of minor of
David J. Morley, On this 29 day of October 1913 at Fish Spring, county of
Carter, appeared Sarah J. Pierce, who says:
I am 77 years old: am the widow
of William Pierce. My address is Butler,
TN # 3 route. I knew David J. Morley all
his life and I knew Sarah Clawson whom he married nearly all her life. Neither had a former marriage. I am sure of this. I was present when their child Iris was born
and she was born Sept. 2 1881. I know
that because my grandson Crumley was born Sept. 2, 1880 and Iris was a year
younger to a day. I was also present
when their youngest child Roy was born but I cannot give the date to save my
life, but I recollect he was a right
small little boy, about 4 years old as near as I can come to it, when his
mother died. I don't recollect the date
of her death but it was in July. It was
then or near then just before she took down sick and Roy wanted to go with her
to hunt a cow. He must have been at
least 4 years old. Oh yes, he was over 3
years old. He was wearing onesies when
his mother died but boys wore onesies back them days til they were 4 or 5 years
old. I am very distantly related to
claimants aunts. I recollect the two
children were born between Iris and Roy, One was a boy born in March 1886 for I
have a granddaughter who was born the same night, March 22. Her boy died after a few months. Now Roy came next. I recollect it was he came a little over 2
years later.

There are 3 stories
about the death of John Archer.
- One story is that
John Archer said to have died 1861 in Motley County, TX.
- Second, his
granddaughter, Eva White, told a story
that in 1863 a stranger came to the house and called John out. He left with the man and was not heard from
again.
- Third. He was killed in a hunting accident. He went hunting with Joseph M. Elliott who leaned
a rifle against a fence, and climbed over.
The gun fell and discharged, killing John Archer. This story is likely because Serena Archer
became a ward of Joseph Elliott's relatives.
Serena married Peter Bolinger Elliott, son of Joseph.

Notes for DANIEL T.
PIERCE:
In 1942, Tennessee
Valley Arthority Records: D.T. Pierce,
House location: Carter County, West side
of Highway 67 between Fish Springs and dam site. His father was born in Pickens County in Middle
TN and died at the age of 83 years.
Daniel has occupied his present residence for 32 years. One child, Lucy Evelyn is in the 3rd year of
high school at Hampton. Water is
furnished in the house by hydraulic ram from a nearby spring. Mr Pierce, having been a farmer all his life,
is now too weak and infirm to work. He
rents part of his 266 acre farm to his son-in- Law, S.P. Pierce, who lives
across the highway. He also rents 17
acres to a company from Johnson County to be planted in beans. The balance of the cultivated land of the

Civil War Letter: March 20, 1864, Camp Gellem, Nashville, TN
William H. Dugger,
Dear Brother, I seat
myself to address you a few lines to let you know I still live and am in
moderate health. The health of our
Regiment is very delicate at this time.
We had the measles amongst us when we came here and since we got here,
the small pox has got into our Reg. Cases are sent out nearly everyday to the
small pox hospital. There has been 2
sent from our tent. E.S PIERCE and
JAMES B. PIERCE have got it and were very bad. This morning 3 cases in all from our
Company. Some other Companies have
more. There are a great many cases here
among both Citizens and Soldiers.
The soldiers are
crowding in by numbers passing to front.
I would say there were some 50,000 troops here at this time.
I have some news from
East Tennessee flattering in one sense, but not so much so in another. It is said by men just in from the Carter
County, TN that the rebs are killing a
good many of our Citizens and robbing our people of their property and
subsistence to such an extent as will reduce our people to starvation if not
soon relieved.
Our forces are said to
be advancing. It is thought by some who
ought to know that E. Tenn. will be cleared before long. I hope it will so happen so that our wives
and little onces can be relieved.
The latest news I have from home direct was
about the middle or last of January.
They were all well then and doing well.
The connection was well so far as
I could learn and doing as well as could be expected under the
circumstances. I have received several
letters from you and have written several to you. I don't know why it is that my letters don't
reach you. I was very careful about the
address. I did expect to visit you but
don't know about it now on account of
small pox. It might not be proper to
leave at this time. I would be very glad
if you would come to see us. I want to
arrange some matters of business with you.
I would say to father there is no chance to get back to his old home in
E. Tenn at present, but have a hope the
thing will soon be changed so at least to allow an opportunity for the removal
of our women and children deemed proper.
If he attempts to go to E. Tenn. , he had best go by railroad. but not start until things are safe. Give Jas H. Dugger and wife my best
wished. Also all other inquiring
friends, tell them to write to me and let me know what there are all doing and
how they are all getting along. I could
write a great deal more but don't think it necessary. I don't know how long we will stay here. but
write often. Be sure you direct your
letter to Camp Gillem, Nashville Co. A 13th Tenn Volunteer Cavalry to the care
of Col John K Miller.
No more but remains
yours as ever,
George M. Dugger
____________________Continuing

Wm H. Dugger, Esq. March 23rd 1864
Dear Brother, I
thought I'd add a few more lines today
to let you know I am in moderate health only, at this time hoping these lines
may find you all well. I also have sad
intelligence to communicate of the death of E.S Pierce. He died of small pox at the hospital on the
21st. This was after an illness of 12
days. He left camp the 12th. I never saw him afterwards. Inform his friends of said intellilgence.
James B. Pierce is very low and not expected to ever get well.
I would like for you,
if your not afraid, come and see us. If
you can't come, write often and direct as above. If I ever get through this War, I expect to
leave East Tenn. If not, I wish any family cared for and such provisions made
for them as is necessary. I left all
ours and father's papers at home. They
will show how matter is if not destroyed.
No more but remains yours. George
M. Dugger

James B. Pierce, Mother's pension claim, Pension case No 331238 Cert # 230715
James B. Pierce and his father, Henry enlisted in the 13th TN
Cavalry in Sept 1863. Henry came home
about the last day of April 1865 on a discharge of Disability from the effects
of small pox and was not able to do much manuel labor due to rheumatism. Henry often walked with a cane.
James had worked to help support the large
family before the war. Frankie had
always worked to support the family. She
did farm work.
James
died of Small pox in the Nashville Regimentary Hospital No. 11.
In a Deposition dated December 31, 1886, written
by Francis M. Pierce,( Henry Clay Pierce's brother) it
said that Henry and hard work never agreed.
Frankie was the main supporter of the family. James was considered the best of the children
and was kind and affectionate.
James seemed to think a good deal of his mother and would oblige
her whenever he could.
James was Henry's son
and was born out of wed-lock.
Francis felt that Henry
could have done more to help support the family.
The pension investigator's letter to the
Commissioner of Pension in Washington D.C.
dated January 1887, The
Pension investigator wrote that the
hearing in the case was adjourned December 31, 1886 at High Health,Johnson
County to January 3-5 at Elizabethton, Carter County. Henry Pierce had evaded the investigator and had went back
home without notice and the investigator was unable to get his testimony. The investigator then wrote :
Frankie was " a good, honest, hard-working woman whose lazy,
shifty, tricky husband has always imposed on her the burden of supporting the
family"

Jane Pierce. I am 49 year old, I am widow of William C. Pierce and I live near
Duggers Ferry, TN. I am cousin of Henry C. Pierce, Our fathers were
half-brothers. I know Frankie Pierce, wife of Henry C. Pierce. I am not connected with her except through
her husband. I have known Frankie Pierce
and her family all my life. At the time
the war broke out, I lived within 2 miles of said Henry Pierce with the Watauga
River between us. And ever since 1860,
I have lived within 3 miles and part of the time within 1/4 of a mile of
her. From 1860 until Sarah Ann moved away to Indiana. I lived within 1/4 of a mile of Mrs Sarah Ann
Pierce who is also my cousin. I know
James B. Pierce son of Frankie Pierce who was said to have died in service
while a member of Co A 13 Tenn Cav. James worked for my husband a month in
Spring of the year in which he enlisted in the Fall. He did farm work for my husband and for his
labor we gave his mother some bacon and bread-stuff while he was still
working. what was not paid for of his
labor was settled for by my husband with the mother of said James B. after said
son enlisted. The son told us when he
left our employ to finish paying him by giving what we owed him to his mother
Frankie Pierce. The contribution so made
was necessary to the support of Frankie Pierce because she was poor and did not
have much. Henry C. Pierce, husband of
Frankie Pierce could not support his family because the Rebels would not let
him stay at home to work "a man could not work and scout in the
woods". If Henry ever had
complained of having rheumatism before the war or ever walked lame or used a
cane, I did not know it. Henry has been
complaining of rheumatism in his knees ever since he came out of the army,
whenever I have seen him and I saw him
within a week after his return home from the war. Sometimes he complains of hurting all
over. I first saw him lame the next
winter after he came home. I saw him one
winter with his leg all drawed up and he had to walk on his cane. That was after the war and while he was
teaching school or had just finished a term.
Except the lameness and the drawed- up leg, I have never seen any
evidence of his having rheumatism. Mrs.
Pierce has worked out ever since I have known her and this family have always
been poor and dependant on their own labor for their living. Sarah J Pierce
Deposition dated
November 20, 1886, Anna Osborne Lewis (age 76)
and Mary Lewis (age 79) were
present when James B. Pierce was born in Carter County on May 16, 1844. Martha J. Lewis and Gideon Lewis witnessed
the affidavit.
Deposition of Frankie
Pierce December 28, 1886 at Duggers Ferry:
My name is Frankie Pierce. I am
61 years old and the wife of Henry C. Pierce.
My residence and post address is High health, Johnson County, TN. I claim I am dependent mother of James B.
Pierce that died in the hospital at nashville, TN on March 24, 1864 of small
pox while serving as private 13th TN Cav.
I was married June 28, 1846 to Henry C. Pierce, father of said James B, by John Carriger, JP at Duggers
Ferry, TN. His mother, (myself),
and my said husband had him prior to
marriage---by said husband I had other children. James B. Pierce the soldier, whose death I
claim, is my first child and he was born May 16, 1844. My next child was a boy named George L.C.
Pierce was born Oct. 28, 1846. The next
of my children was a girl named Mary J. born Feb 15, 1849. My next child a girl named Caroline was born
Nov 11, 1851. My Next child a girl named
Amanda was born May 11, 1854. My next
child a girl Naomi Victoria was born May 20, 1856. My next child a boy Noah W. was born Sept 25
1858. My next child a girl Minnie A. was
born Feb 14, 1861, My next child a boy John F was born May 18, 1863, My last
child a girl Eliza was born May 20,
1866. Besides James B. I have lost one
child Naomi Victoria by death.
My husband with whom I
am still living assisted in the organizing of Co A 13th TN Cav. He was that Company's first 1st Luiet. My son James B. enlisted among the first men.
At the time my said son
died my husband was serving 1st Lt in the said company. My family at that time he enlisted, was of 3
boys aged 18 -16- and 10 years old. and
5 girls aged 15-13-10-8 and 3 years. My
daughter Naomi died in 1865 aged 9 years.
I have not owned any real estate and have never owned personal property
of any kind exceeded in value of $50. My
husband never during our marriage had owned any real estate until about 10
years ago when he got about $700 from the U.S. and bought about 80 acres of
land on which we now live for which he paid $450. We now own that land. We have had no personal property since my
said son died except a cow, a few sow and sheep and our clothing and furniture.
Until after my husband came out of the army in
1865, all of my children lived with me
and they continued to live at home until they married and left us. Since the death of my son James B., I have
been supported by my own labor and that of my husband and children. We have all worked and had whatever we raised or farmed. My husband has always been an industrious,
temperate man and I have have not wanted his money or goods. He has done some farm work but can't do much
now. He has been always complaining of a
cough and rheumatism ever since he came out of the army. He a bad spell of rheumatism after my girl
Naomi died Henry's knees often swell
and turn red and inflamed and he lost some time from his school teaching. My husband did, I reckon, support me the best
he could after he came out of the army.
After my son died in the army , my husband did send money home to me
through the lines by Dan Ellis and Isaac Lewis. He sent $50 by Ellis and $30 by
Lewis. At that time corn cost $1 and
wheat $2 per bushel and after my husband got home from the war he did support
us as well as the average of wives in
this part of the country are supported.
I have done a great deal of farm work myself. I have worked out-by the day for neighbors
for a week at time, except
Saturday. I have worked out every year
since my husband came from the army except the last year. Some years I have worked as much as 100
days. I reckon, if I had not worked out, I dont think I would
have had as good support as the average woman in my neighborhood I am forced to work-out to buy supplies for
my family. " Signed with a mark for
Frankie Pierce
Frankie was last paid
the pension of $12 on August 4, 1904 and died August 10, 1904.

Letters from James B.
Pierce's pension file:
Deposition on December 31, 1886 at High
Health , Johnson County. For the case of
Frankie Pierce
My name is Francis M.
Pierce. I am 53 years old. I live near Dugger Ferry, Carter County,
TN. I am a farmer. I am brother of Henry C. Pierce, husband of
Frankie Pierce. I have always lived in
the immediate vicinity of my said brother and his wife except for 1860 to 1875
when I was in Indiana. I saw my brother
Henry and his family once between 1860 and 1875; that was in 1866, during which
year I was home for about 2 months. My
sister-in-law has about raised her family.
She has always been their main dependence.
She always was a hard
working woman and her husband was always
drifting right along in life as easy as he could: "hard work and
him never agreed first rate"
Frankie Pierce's son James B. "was a boy that
was well thought of and was considered the best of the children by all who knew
him" He was their first child. He was born out of wed-lock. He was always very kind and affectionate to
his mother and he seemed to think a great deal of her. He would oblige here when ever he could. Mrs Frankie Pierce used to work out for the
neighbors before the war and has always done so as long as I have known
her. Her labor has always been money to
keep the family together and support it.
Henry C Pierce could, in my opinion,
have done more to support his family than he did do. They were poor and have children far to
often. He could have done better than he
did but he did have rheumatism some after I went to Indiana in 1860 and that
disabled his some but not to an extent to prevent him from earning his living
and that of his family. I know James B.
Pierce worked out for Andrew Smith at Roan Creek Branch after I went to Indiana
in 1860 and I believe the family got the benefit of his labor ; but I did not see the funds paid to his
father or mother.
The family have never
owned any value in personal property - until about 10 years ago when they
bought $450 work of land and from that the family have got a living by the
labor of the wife and the children. The
children have all lived at home and all have worked the land to make a living
with proceeds of the land and the money earned outside by the wife and the
husband. Without the earnings of the
wife, Henry C. Pierce has never earned enough money since the war to support the family. Signed Frances M. Pierce
Deposition
in the Case of Frankie Pierce for James B. Pierce's Penison. December 29, 1886 at Duggers Ferry, Carter
County, TN,
My name is Sarah Ann
Pierce. I am 50 years old. I live near Dugger Ferry, TN and I am the
wife of Francis M. Pierce.
My husband is brother
of Henry C. Pierce. I know Frankie
Pierce wife of Henry C. Pierce and have known her ever since I was a
child. Mrs Pierce is not related to me
except by marriage. I lived about 1 ½
mile from said Mrs Pierce when the war broke out and continued to live near her until January 31, 1865 when
I moved to near Rockville, Parke County, Indiana and lived there until January
17, 1875. During that time, I did not
see Frankie Pierce or her family. During
the time from 1860 to 1865, I was not often at Frankie Pierce's house, the
Watauga River was between our homes and there was no good way of crossing. Mrs Pierce was at my house every month or so
and some of her children were at my house or near there about every week, so I
heard from the family frequently. Up until the time James B. Pierce and his
father went in the army, said son helped support the family. His father helped some, and I reckon he helped as much as he could at
that time. Henry C. Pierce has always
been as industrious as the average of
man in the community. The country from
1861 to 1865 was so run over by the Rebel soldiers that no one could do much
work. In the Fall, the son James B. worked for me ( my husband being in Indiana
from 1860 to 1875) at farming. He
cultivated 15 or 20 acres of land for me in corn, potatoes and (sugar cane)
that year. I gave him ¼ of the
crop. He had gone in the Army when the
crop was gathered so I gave his share to
his mother Frankie Pierce. Henry C. Pierce
worked that year for Aunt Peggy Dugger.
I saw him hoeing corn that year for her.
Mr. Henry C. Pierce did not work more and did not support his family
because as I suppose he was not able. He
was not very stout that year. He
complained of having rheumatism. He was
crippling about and complaining of having rheumatism. I don't know that he had rheumatism, only by
what he said. I don't know a man's
feelings . I saw him limp and walk with
a cane and heard his complaining of
having rheumatism before his son James B. was in the Army. There is no doubt about it. I had no authority from James B Pierce to
give his share of my crop to his mother
but I gave it to her because I know or thought I knew that was what he
would wish me to do. Frankie
Pierce used to work out before the war.
She always worked out as long as I have known her. The family has always been poor and they have
all had to work to get along. The have
never owned any real estate until they
bought the place where they now live about 10 years ago. They have never owned any person property
except it. Signed Sarah A. Pierce

and ELIZABETH MORLEY. He was born July
01, 1828, and died December 05, 1860 in Fentress, TN.
Notes for JAMES MONROE
TOMPKINS:
It had been terrible cold and a Tompkins
man from Armathwaite set out to see about his neighbor that lived some miles
away to learn how the family was faring.
He failed to return when he was expected , so some of the men of the
neighborhood set out to find him. They
could follow his tracks in the snow. The
man killed about 7 deer and had hung them up, but he had failed to take
precautions for his own life. He was
found sitting against a tree frozen to death.
The place of the man's death later became
a field in the William Goad homestead of the Joe's Branch area of the Mount
Helen Community. William Goad moved to
this area about 1866.
The only hint as to the name of the
Tompkins man is according to family records, James Monroe Tompkins died
December 5, 1860. He lived not far from
the present day Range Cemetery. The
widow and children left there about the time of the Civil War, so no
particulars of his death are known.

Notes for SAMUEL
BRINTON PIERCE:
Civil War : Enlisted in
Pulaski County Kentucky on Oct 10, 1861 in Company D, 12th KY, commanded by
colonel W.A. Hoskins. He left at
Somerset, KY as a teamster, he later rejoined captain Frogg's company D Brigade
as a Waggoner from Nov 1862 to April 1863,
he was a division teamster at General Thomas' headquarters. In November 1864 he was guarding
prisoners. He mustered out in
Louisville, KY on Feb 3 1865, after being declared disabled in Nashville. He began writing a series "Recollections
of the War" for the Allardt Gazette on November 17, 1892. He died of dropsy and heart disease. He is buried in the Welch Cemetery.
Sam and Mary Ann moved
to the Armathwaite Community in the spring of 1857. Their home was near the old
Huntsville Road and about a mile north of the present day Center Bell Separate
Baptist Church.
RELIGION: Samuel and
Mary Ann were charter members of the Fellowship United Baptist Church when it
was organized in July 1857. Sam was
ordained as a minister by this church in July 1859. He served on
the presbytery when the Mount Olive and the Mount Helen United Baptist
Churches were organized. Sam also served
the Mount Helen Church for several months when it was an arm of the Fellowship
Church. His pastoral duties includes all
three of these churches.
When the Civil War
erupted, it soon became apparent what the area was no place for a Union
man. Rebels were everywhere. Sam stayed in hiding for a few months, but
decided something else had to be done.
He was going to fight for the Union cause. First, he must get his wife
and 3 small children - the oldest about 4 - to safer quarters. Her parents lived about 8 miles below where
Byrdstown now stands. To get her there
required an indirect route because rebels guarded the nearest route. The family loaded their belongings into the
wagon and started. Near the Sharp Place, they were stopped by rebel guards who
questioned Sam about his moving. Sam
gave truthful answers to the questions and they finally let him continue to
Wayne Co KY. From here , he went over
into Clinton Co. and then down into Overton Co. finally arriving at his
father-in-laws. Here it was hoped the
wife and children would have some care and protection. Sam bid farewell to his family. This was Sept. 1861. In Oct. 1861, Sam enlisted in Company D,
12th Kentucky Infantry where he served as corporal. Very shortly, he and several others came down
with the Measles and were hospitalized.
He had barely recovered sufficiently to travel when his company was sent
to near Somerset, KY. Several weeks
passed. He along with one or two more had been sent to repair the railroad
bridge near Somerset and were there when the Battle of Fishing Creek was fought
and General Zollicoffer was killed. Sam
served 40 months in the Union Army and was in the Chattanooga area when these
important battles were fought. Sam drew
a pension for his service in the army.
After the war, Sam and Mary Ann lived in
Overton Co, then moved to Clinton Co KY.
They returned to the Armathwaite area in 1871.
Sam must have been a stickler for factual
information. It was due to his efforts
that additional notes were placed in the Fellowship Church record about church
activities that transpired, but were not recorded due to the unstable
conditions during the Civil War. Some of
these additions are of upmost importance for anyone seeking local history. One
of the most important and lasting effect Sam did was his being community news
writer in "The Allardt Tribune" for a number of years. He was good in telling of current
events. Many items are found in his news
that are available no where else. Also,
a series of articles were printed in the same paper entitled,
"Recollections of the War." These are excellent, but unfortunately,
many issues are missing. History of
Fentress Co TN
He began writing
"Recollections of the War" series for the Allardt Gazette on 17 Nov
1892.
MILITARY: He enlisted
in Pulaski Co., KY as a musician, on 10 Oct 1861, in Company D, 12th KY, USA,
commanded by Colonel W. A. Hoskins, for 3 years. Left at Somerset, KY as teamster, he later
rejoined Captain Frogg's Company D Brigade waggoner from November 1862 to April
1863, he was division teamster at General Thomas' headquarters.
In Nov 1863, unable to get past Jamestown
into Pickett to visit his wife, he stayed with Armathwaite neighbors and spent
2 nights with his father, who happened to be at home from the army. In November 1864, he was guarding
prisoners. In December 1864 he was
absent - sick at Nashville since Nov. 15.
Corporal, May 1864 . Relieved at
Chattanooga, February 1864, from detached service with Signal Corps. Mustered out in Louisville, KY on 3 Feb. 1865
after being declared completely disabled at Nashville.
He applied for a pension on 1 April
1880. #353582 certificate # 326099 On 23 Dec. 1897, The Fentress County Gazette
reported "The pension of S. B. Pierce of Armathwaite has recently been
increased from $14.00 to $17.00 per month.

Notes for THOMAS J.
BUCKLES:
Occupation: farmer
and Horse trainer
Thomas's father, William Buckles worked for the Virginia
Iron, Coal, and Coke Company and acquired a large tract of land from them in
the 10th Civil District of Carter County, Tennessee, in 1840 (Willow Springs
area). In 1831, he married Catherine Jones (B. 1812), daughter of Thomas Jones
and Susannah Ramsey. William Buckles father was Abraham Buckles, Jr, next was Abraham Sr, b. 1736 and then Robert
Buckles (Thomas's great great grandfather) born
b 1702 Yorkshire England and wife Ann Brown.
Robert Buckles was the grandson of Sir Christopher Buckle who died in July,
1594, while Lord Mayor of London. Robert was the second son of a wealthy England
landlord . Robert left England for
America in 1719 at age 17. Robert made friends with a ship's crew in order to
obtain passage. The crew stowed him away in one of the ballast barrels and he
evaded officers who came on board to search the ship. He spent 13 years in
Pennsylvania and married Ann Brown. Ann was from a very prominent Pennsylvania
family. Ann's grandfather, Daniel Brown, was a member of the First Pennsylvania
Assembly in 1683 and the Brown family farm was adjacent to that of William
Penn. Ann Brown was a member of the Quaker community, but relinquished her
Quaker faith to marry Robert in 1727.
Robert and Ann Buckles
migrated with 15 other families, all or most of whom were Quakers, to Berkeley
County, Virginia (now West Virginia) in 1727. At the time of Robert Buckles's
death in 1790, his land holdings had grown to 2,090 acres.
From HISTORIC SHEPHERDSTOWN by Danske Dandridge, Page
26, "While Robert Buckles and other men of the community were away with
Morgan's Company on one occasion, a party of Indians entered the neighborhood
and killed and scalped any residents they could find. The children and wife of
Robert Buckles were surprised during the night, but managed to escape, leaving
behind in the excitement, one little girl who was unable to walk. The Indians
scalped the little girl and left her lying in the cabin. When the family
returned to the cabin, they discovered that the child was still alive. She
recovered fully, grew to womanhood and married."
Robert Buckles is listed as a Patriot during the American
Revolution. He was too old for military service in the Revolution but he
furnished supplies for the use of the State of Virginia. He had seen service in the French and Indian
War. His name appears on the muster roll of Captain Richard Morgan's Company.

or 3 years old then. He was till wearing
Onsies. I am quite sure he was just
about 3 years old. " Mary

In the Pension file of
David Morley on October 27, 1913 - Deposition B- Wiley L. Morley
states" I am 45 years old and am a
farmer. My address is Butler, Johnson
County TN, David J. Morley was my half-brother.
The correct way to spell our name is MORLEY. My brother suicided by cutting his own throat
in Feb. 1892. My oldest child was born
October 8, 1891. The soldier killed
himself when she was about 6 months old.
I was grubbing when he killed himself so it was not on Sunday. I recollect that his wife died July 23,
1892. It was talked about as to the time
she died exactly 6 months after her husband.
Their youngest child was Roy and he was 4 or 5 years old when his
brother took him off, a year or so after his father died. "

Arthority record for June 1942: Mr
Pierce had a home on the outskirts of the village. The house
was large and the lawn was made beautiful by old boxwoods and
shrubs. The house was set back from the
road at the foot of the hill in a way that enhanced its charm. The story of Mr. Pierce's life was published
in a special edition of the Elizabethton Star. Mr Pierce considers himself a
farmer. Although he is now old and
suffering from a lame leg, he manages to deliver milk to people of the
community daily. Mr Pierce relocated to
Jefferson City, TN after the Watauga Lake was formed.

and died September 08, 1918 in Carter County, TN.
Notes for ELIZA ARCHER:
There is some doubt
that Eliza is the daughter of John and Sarah, because she was born in 1863, which was around the time
when John was killed.
A land transaction
record shows how John Archer SR and
Rebecca'a land was split up. Serena is the only child of Sarah Pierce Archer's,
that is mentioned.
Eliza Archer Raines
death record lists John Archer and Sarah Pierce Archer as parents. Burial: Grindstaff Cemetery
Occupation: Seamstress,
made clothes and quilts
Notes for JAMES RAINES:
In 1890, he was working
at an iron forge and he was paid 85 cents a day in company script and he had to
spend it at the company store. The forge
shut down and he started to work at a sawmill.
He usually made less than 80 cents a day and worked from sun up until
dark.
He later got a job as mail carrier. He rode a horse from Elizabethton to Stoney creek. Sometimes he would have to tend his crops,
and would get his brother William Rains to handle the mail for him. William would not ride a horse and would
walk.
In May of 1900 a flood
occurred and all the creeks flooded.
James was carrying the mail and came to his house to find it almost
surrounded by water. He was on the other
side of the creek and saw that the
bridge and foot log had already been washed away. He continued up the creek until he came to a
place where he could cross, then came back through the fields with a
horse. He put his children on the horse
and took them to a hill on the other side of the raging creek. By making 2 trips he got all but one child on
dry land. The remaining child, Eliza,
was only 2 days old and still in bed with Eliza Archer Rains, her mother. He could not put the mother and baby on the
horse so he hitched the horse to a wagon with the intention of putting the bed
in the wagon and trying to get them to safety.
He hitched the horse to the house and decided to stay with his wife and
baby in the house if the water did not
continue to rise. He drove a stake
into the ground to monitor the rise of the water. The water only lacked 2 inches coming through
the house when it began to fall. (

History of Cherokee
County, Kansas and its citizens 1904
"BENJAMIN THOMAS
DUGGER, who owns one of the best farms of Cherokee County, consisting of 16
acres, and situated in section 23, township 32, range 24, in Mineral township,
and also has a fine trade as a blacksmith, was born in 1859 in Johnson County,
Tennessee, and is a son of William H. and Nancy (Cable) Dugger.
The paternal
grandfather of the subject of this sketch was Thomas Dugger, who was born in
North Carolina, but in early life removed to Tennessee, and later to Indiana.
There he died before the Civil War, at the age of 84 years. He married Hannah
Pierce, who was born in Virginia, and they reared a family which reflected
credit upon the training they received.
William Harden Dugger
was born in Johnson County, Tennessee, where he married, and in 1867 came to
Cherokee County, Kansas. He settled first in Pleasant View township, where he
lived four years, and then removed to a location on the old "Military
Road." There he built a blacksmith shop, and worked at his trade until
1871. Moving at that period to Mineral township, he took up a government claim
of 160 acres, where he continued to farm and also to work at his trade. William
H. Dugger was very well known and highly esteemed. One of the first settlers in
this locality, he was also one of the most intelligent and reliable and exerted
a great influence. His death took place June 7, 1902, at the age of 76 years.
He is survived by his widow, who finds a welcome home with her five children,
the subject of this sketch being the only son. The daughters are,--Lizzie,
Jane, Sarah and Nancy.
The farm upon which his
father settled in Mineral township is now owned by the subject of this sketch,
and he also carries on the blacksmith business, which he learned under his
father's instruction. Mr. Dugger is one of the very busy men of the township,
and but few have made more material progress than he has, in the same time. He
is both a good farmer and a first-class blacksmith, and besides is a pleasant,
genial man, who has hosts of friends in the neighborhood.
On January 6, 1897, Mr.
Dugger was married to Julia Anna Granson, who was born at Elba, Nebraska, April
6, 1879. They have a happy little family of four children, namely: Clara May,
Hazel Fay, Zada Florence, and Anna Elizabeth.
As one of the
intelligent and well informed men of his township, Mr. Dugger takes a lively
interest in public matters, and politically he is identified with the
Republican party. "

Family story: Williams son, Jessee had a girl friend, one
day his brother John, decided to make up a story about her & spread it around. The story
got back to Jesse, & after that, Jesse, had no more to do with her or any
other woman........
Jesse, never drank,
smoked, cussed, had never been inside a
bar & wouldn't go around any one who did.
John, said the worse
thing he heard Jesse, say was "by dammie". One day Jesse & John,
"his brother", went to town, they stopped in front of the store, Jesse, wouldn't get out of the
wagon because he heard some men inside the store cussing.............

the Tulsa, Oklahoma newspaper at the time of William Dugger's wedding, when he
was 90 years old, as "Brisk and distinguished with white hair and white

The following evidence was heard
in open court on the question of paying guards for guarding the Johnson County
jail under section 5401 and 5401b in the case of the State vs Alfred and John
Presnell on a charge of murder. D W.
Wills being duly sworn deposed as follows: I think it was necessary to have
guards because I think the jail was insufficient to hold the prisoners and
because I think there was danger that they would be taken out of the jail and
lynched from what I had heard. I heard
a near relative of Shupe the deceased say that they would be taken out of the
jail and lynched. I think I have heard
others say that they were liable to be taken out and lynched. The deceased had a large relationship and
some of them influential.
Testimony by J.M
Blankenbeckler: I am one of the
commissioners appointed to look after the jail and conditions For the
prisoners. I think a guard was necessary
on the account of the Insecurity of the jail and the danger that one of the
defendants at least might be rescued. I
had heard of the Pressnells ought to be and would be lynched. Shupe the deceased had been quite a prominent
man. He had been Justice of the Peace
and chairman of the County Court of Johnson County for several years. Mr Shupe the deceased had a very large
connection in this (Johnson) County, some of whom are influential. page 402.
March 19, 1884 - M L Morland
being duly sworn deposes as follows- I am sheriff of Johnson County I think that a guard was absolutely necessary
while John and Alfred Presnell have been in Johnson County Jail 1st I regard
the jail unsafe. 2nd from threats that I
had heard made previous to the arrest of the defendants and the excitement
consequence upon their arrest I think there was considerable danger of their
being taken out and lynched. I think
there was some danger of Thier being rescued by Thier friends. I heard a nephew of the deceased Shupe say
before Defendants were arrested that if they were arrested and put in jail that
they would never get out alive. Whey
were arrested on the 10th day of last January and our next circuit court
convened on the 3 week of March. I was
informed that there was no secure jail nearer than Greenville, TN a distance of
75 or 80 miles and I regarded it a saving of Expense to the state to employ a
guard. ML Morland Sheriff.
We certify that we have
examined the forgoing account for guarding jail of Johnson County and are
satisfied that a guard was necessary.

Notes for
JOHN FINDLEY PIERCE: John's family bible
records give John's date of birth as May 19, 1863.
John had an
affair and had 2 illegitimate children he left behind in Colorado when he moved
to California.
John's
family says that John had been a teacher of mathematics at a college in
Tennessee, and that his father was college educated.
There is a
rumor on Johns family side that he left Tennessee suddenly because he had
killed a man in a duel over "an affair of the heart." John was very
"handsome, charming, intelligent, well-liked and a good shot, and not a
very faithful husband. "
James Alexander McCandless
(Julia's great uncle) had sent for his parents and sisters to join him in
Colorado. John went by wagon train with
his in-laws and wife.
The following is the story of why
the McCanless family and John Pierce moved to Colorado :
Julia's great grandparents were JAMES MCCANLESS, b. 1796
and RACHEL ALEXANDER born 1802 and they
had 5 children. ( 1). MARY CATHERINE2 MCCANLESS, b. October 09, 1824,
Iredell County, NC. (Julia's
Grandmother) married Isaac Green . Their
son David Green is the father of Julia Green Pierce (2). Julia (3). David Colbert McCanless born
1828, ( 4), Emily (5). James Leroy Alexander McCanless
In the 1830's James moved his family to
Shulls Mill, Watauga County, NC. James
was an educated man, an expert cabinet maker and fine fiddler and school
teacher. His son David Colbert "Colb" McCanless (Julia's great
uncle) married Mary Green on February 21, 1848 in Ashe County NC. Colb served as deputy for about 4 years then
decided to run for sherriff. After a
bitter race with rumors of fistfights between Colb and the other candidate, he
became the first elected sheriff of Watauga County. Colb was said to be overbearing, articulate,
and well-informed with a vicious
streak. He had an affair with a woman
named Sarah Shull, the daughter of a local miller, and a girl was born on May
4, 1856. The child Martha Allice Shull
died a year later on July 2, 1857. As
sheriff he was tax collector and also managed the collections for J.M. Weath, a
Frenchman who sold goods wholesale in the region. In February 1859, Colb stole the money and he
and Sarah Shull fled the state. They
were heading west to search for gold.
They went to Johnsons's Tank (now Johnson City, TN) They sold their
horses and took the train west. They arrived in St. Louis and went by steam
boat to Kansas. They got as far as
Southeastern Nebraska and were discouraged by the large number of people from
Pikes Peak heading back east with no gold.
The story that was told in Watauga County is that David left with the
entire treasury of Watauga County in his saddle bags, so he couldn't go back
home.
Colb decided to stop at Rock Creek. They bought a ranch and Sarah became the
first white woman to live in what is now Jefferson County, Nebraska.
In February, soon after
Colb left, his parents and relatives also left Watauga County and moved to
Dugger's Ferry in Carter County, TN.
This was likely due to the pressures brought about because of the
scandal and the missing tax funds.
After buying land and a home, Colb sent for his brother and wife. In August 1859, Colb's brother, James Leroy,
left North Carolina for Nebraska with his family, David Colbert's wife and
children.
They stopped in
Tennessee, where Colb's wife gave birth tothe 4th of 5 children). They arrived at Rock Creek on
September 20. (Sarah remained Colb's
mistress). Colb built a toll bridge
across the Platte River. His normal fee
was 10 to 50 cents, depending on a person's ability to pay. A short time later Colb sold the original
farm house and some out-buildings to the Overland Stage Coach Company (Pony
Express) which was to make payments to Colb.
The station manager was Horace Wellman and 23 year old James Butler
Hickok was stable hand. Hickok would live to become the legandary
gunfighter "Wild Bill" but at
this time he was an injured wagon driver sent to Rock Creek for light
duties. Colb made remarks about Hickok's
thin lips and called him " Duck Bill" . Wrestled him to the
ground as a "joke" and many
other things. Hickok most likely had ill
feelings toward Colb because of this. Plus Hickcok and Sarah had become good
friends. Years later, Sarah tells a friend that she almost had an affair
with Hickcok,
Unknown to McCanless, the Overland Stage
Company was in deep financial trouble.
He demanded the money from Wellman and was told that the superintendant
did not send the money. Wellman said that he was sure that the money would be
at the Overland Companies Brownsville location. Wellman and William Monroe McCanless,
Colb's 12 year old son, went on the 200 mile trip to get supplies and to get
the money due Colb. When they returned,
Monroe saw his father's horse at a neighboring ranch and went to greet him
while Wellman went on to the station.
Colb, Monroe, James Woods, and an
employee named James Gordon went to the Station to ask Wellman about the
payments. Some accounts say that they
were armed with guns but Monroe McCanless stated that they did not have weapons.
Colb and Monroe went to the door and demanded to know why Wellman did
not get his money. Colb threatened to
take over the station. At this point
Hickok stepped up to the doorway. Hickok
fired a shotgun from inside the house.
He hit Colb in the heart. The
impact threw Colb on his back. Monroe ran to his father as he tried to raise
himself from the ground. Colb attempted
to speak, and he fell back dead. Woods
and Gordon had been waiting near a fence and ran to house. They were fired on and Wellman beat Woods to
death with a hoe and then ran to get Monroe.
Monroe out ran him and hid in a ravine.
Sarah Shull ( working as the
bookkeeper) was hiding with Mrs Wellman
and another lady in the cellar . The top of the Cellar was made of split logs
and when Wellman beat Woods with the hoe, the blood ran through the cracks onto
Sarah's head. Hickok and two more stage
company employees chased Gordon down and shot him . The authorities found no guns on the bodies
and no injuries to Hickok and the men.
Both Wellman and Hickok were arrested
but due to no jail, no judge and no funds to hold them, they were
released.
On
July 12, 1861, David Colbert McCanless was the first man allegedly
killed by Wild Bill Hickok.
The legandary
Wild Bill is a product of novelists who enhanced his story of the Rock Creek
killings. A well known version of the story was published in the February 1867
issue of Harper's Magazine. His story glamourized Hickok now dubbed "Wild
Bill", as a fighting frontier hero.
In his account, Hickok single-handedly fought and killed 10 men with a
gun and bowie knife. "the
M'Kandlas's gang...reckless, bloodthirsty devils who would fight as long as
they had strength to pull the trigger"
Although supposedly having 11
buckshot wounds and 13 knife wounds, Hickok emerged the victor.
The Summer
Times :Local Lore published another version: "McCanless Gang attacked a
small cabin at Rock Creek, Kan., some 50 miles west of Topeka. It was evidently
used as a station on a stage line. Inside, there was probably quite a bit of
money. The 10 members of the McCanless
Gang never found out. That was because also inside that dirt and thatch cabin
was one of the stage line's guards and a few of his friends. He wore his blond hair long, and had cold
blue eyes. Most people in the West didn't know him yet, but soon people would
be calling James Butler Hickok "Wild Bill." When the shooting was
over, eight of the McCanless Gang, including Colb, lay dead. " (source:
Tales never told around the campfire, true stories of frontier America
by Mark Dugan)
James Leroy McCanless (Colb's brother) had
moved to Colorado in 1860 were he raised
cattle and vegetables to sale to the miners.
Somewhere along the line he acquired a mistress and fathered a number of
children with her. He founded the town
of Florence, CO where he built 2 houses.
One for his wife and the other for his mistress a block apart. After he had established himself in
Colorado, he sent back to Carter County, TN for his parents and all three
sisters and thier families. The entire
family relocated. John Pierce was
married to Julia and traveled by wagon train with the family.
David Colbert McCanless's grandson was Byron
McCandless Byron was the Navy Admiral who was put in charge of getting the
fleet out of Mothballs at the
start of WWII. Byron's son was Bruce
McCandless who as a junior officer aboard the USS San
Francisco during the battle of
Guadalcanal took command of the ship when all of the senior officers were
dead or dying and sank
two Japanese ships and disabled
another. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by Pres. Harry Truman. The Navy
built a ship after the war that
was named the USS McCandless in the father and sons names. The ship was decommissioned and
sold the the Turkish Navey in
the mid 1990's. Also Bruce McCandless
has a son named Bruce II who is the US

LEWIS (ANN4 PIERCE, GEORGE MORTON3,
JOHN2, HARDY1) was born January 06,
1864 in Carter County, TN, and died 1952 in Carter County, TN. He
married SARAH ALICE FINNEY October 1882, daughter of PHILLIP FINNEY and
CATHERINE GREENWELL. She was born 1868.
When Solomon was about 6 years old, he had
been playing with other children and his arm became badly swollen. His mother, Ann, had to split his shirt
sleeve from the wrist to the elbow to get the shirt off. After that, one of the bones in his right
arm came out in splinters. Later a piece
of his right jaw bone with 2 teeth on it worked out from the skin in 4 or 5
pierces. Small pieces in his left arm
worked out and his left hip was drawn out of joint and his left leg was about 4
inches shorter than the right one. The
bones continued to come out until he was about 8 years old. He had to spend a year in bed. He walked on crutches on and off until age 25.
The doctors called the disease "White Swelling" (osteomyelitis) His jaw pulled to the side somewhat for his
entire life. Sarah had known him since
he was age 9. Just before he turned 18,
he and Sarah decided to marry. Ann and
his family tried to discourage the marriage because of Solomon's health. Sarah said that she was strong and that she
would work extra hard. They were
determined to be married and the family gave in .
They had 11 children
and 2 died in infancy. He worked for
William O. Phillips in a distillery for about 11 months when he was about 18
years old. For about 3 years he hoed corn for 50 cents a day. Sarah and he had tried farming after their
marriage and they rented about 3 acres of land and they cultivated that in corn
and a little garden stuff. Solomon did
some work during their marriage and he also fished and sold some fish for
money. Sarah did washing for money and
she quilted and knitted a "good deal"
Sarah states in a deposition on August 26, 1931:" I myself have
never known anything but work and I helped him out, took every bit of work off
of him that I possibly could. His main
work has been hoeing corn when he was able to and he used to work in a
distillery. "

JOHN H. PIERCE.
John H. Pierce,
superintendent of the Mountain City schools, was born there on the 27th of
September, 1893, a son of Isaac and Martha (Stout) Pierce. The Pierce family
were among the pioneer settlers of East Tennessee. The paternal grandfather,
Henry Pierce, served throughout the Civil War in the Federal army. The father,
Isaac Pierce, who was born in Johnson county, engaged in farming for the
greater part of his life, but now deceased. His marriage was celebrated in
Mountain City in 1878. Mrs. Pierce, who survives her husband, was also born in
Johnson county and belongs to one of its prominent pioneer families. Her
father, John H. Stout and two of her brothers served in defense of the Union
throughout the Civil war. To Mr. and Mrs. Pierce seven children were born, four
sons and three daughters, John H. being the fifth in order of birth. Three sons
and the three daughters are living.
John H. Pierce received
his education in the Bethel Doe School at Pandora, Tennessee, The Mountain City
high school, Carson and Newman College in Jefferson county and in 1916 he was
graduated from Peabody College with the A. B. degree, after which he took
postgraudate work at that institution. Mr. Pierce worked his way through
college. In 1913 he started teaching, becoming principal of the Brownlow
Acadamy at Maymead, and in 1916-17 he was principal of the Madison high school
in North Carolina. In 1917-18 he was superintendent of the schools at Fairmont,
North Carolina, and in the latter year he returned to Mountain City, Tennessee,
as superintendent of the schools at this place. Since taking over the duties of
superintendent Mr. Pierce has brought about radical changes. He has concentrated
his attention on the schools, sought out their defects and then set about to
find a remedy. He has raised the standard of the high school from second class
to first, making it an accredited school, and the daily attendance has been
increased three hundred per cent. A library numbering one thousand volumes has
been added to the school and apparatus for the gymnasium has been added at a
cost of eight hundred dollars. Thirteen hundred and fifty dollars was expended
upon equipment for the home economics department. The new school building was
erected in 1921 at a cost of thirty-five thousand dollars. Mr. Pierce has
indeed proved the right man for the place and Mountain City is fortunate in
having him for a citizen.
In Hendersonville,
North Carolina, on the 14th of October 1916, was celebrated the marriage of Mr.
Pierce and Miss Ethel Snelson, a daughter of Ambrose Snelson, a prominent
resident of North Carolina. To their union two sons have been born: Lloyd, now
four years of age; and Franklin, two.
Mr. Pierce gives his
politcal allegiance to the republican party and the principles for which it
stands. Although he has never sought nor desired political preferment on his
own account, he is interested in party affairs and is active in the furtherance
of every movement for the upbuilding of the city, county and state. Fraternally
he is identified with the Masons, holding membership in Taylorsville Lodge, No.
243, F. & A. M. of Mountain City. His religious faith is that of the
Baptist church and he is superintendent of the Sunday school. Mr. Pierce is a
member of the East Tennessee Educational Association and the State Educational
Association. He is held in high confidence and esteem by all who know him, and
Mountain City is proud to number him among her native sons. *****

1892 in Johnson Co.Tn., and died November 27, 1972 in Johnson County TN.

George was a farmer and
a trader. For a short time, he worked
for Lamon Cress at his Service Station in Mountain City.
George was a gentle
natured person. He used to tease and
make his family laugh. Maw would fuss
about something and paw would laugh, and tease her until she was happy again. Paw was a very hard working farmer, but he
always took time to talk, joke and play a game of checkers with the kids.
He first started
farming with a horse pulling a plow, long before he ever bought a tractor. He raised acres of beans, tobacco, corn and
sugar cane. He had a mill to make the
sugar cane into molasses.
He had a large barn down near the creek,
where he kept horses and cows. He milked
the cows every day.
He had a tool shed
in front of the house where he parked
his old truck and tools.
He used to drive to
Mountain City once a week. It would take
all day, he drove very slow, 20-25 miles per hour. He had high racks on the back of his
truck. The racks were for hauling
cattle, etc. but when the grandchildren went someplace with him, they would get
to ride in the back of the truck. It was
a Common site to see a truck going down the road with the back full of children.
Long after the first
Television came out, Joseph, his youngest son, bought one for them. It was a black and white and reception was
fuzzy, but it was the best thing in the world to them. George used to watch the wrestling. He would get so excited with fights that he
would jump up out of his chair and sling his arms and shout at them. He was
far more fun to watch then the TV.
Vada's favorite show was "I Love Lucy"

Vada was the only one
of the Richard Lawson "Loss" Stout girls to wear her hair short. All the other girls wore their hair long and
twisted in a bun and pinned on back of the head. Vada wore her hair short and tightly
curled. She had perms when they began to
do that. Perms made her hair
frizzed. Vada would wear a bonnet on her
head while she was at home working and when she would go to town or someplace,
she would dress up real nice and wear powder and rouge. She would curl her hair at nights on small
pieces of wire that she cut from tobacco cans.
Vada made very
beautiful quilts and crocheted spreads.
In those days, they used the spreads on all the furniture before sitting
anything on it.
Vada and George were
called Maw and Paw by all the Grandchildren.
Vada had a garden and
canned all their food. There was a
little room built off the kitchen, called the flour room, where she made biscuits and other breads. She churned and made buttermilk and
butter. The main meal was bread and
milk. She got up early every morning and
made biscuits and gravy. At every meal she made a cake of cornbread and fixed
mashed potatoes.
They raised their own
cows and pigs. Vada kept a very clean
house.
In the Winter, they
kept Thier bed in the living room, as many did in those days, and only heated
that room, shutting off the rest of the house.
She never had an electric stove.
She cooked on a wood stove. They
drank water from a bucket that she kept in the sink under the spicket. Everyone drank from that bucket with the same
dipper that she kept hanging from a nail above the sink.
picture: Richard Lawson Stout and Louisa Elrod Stout
and their home-- The Richard Lawson Stout family spent their
lives in much the same way as most of their neighbors. Lawson (Vada's father) was busy all day
clearing the fields, building fences and planting crops. The horses, cattle, chickens and pigs had to
be cared for. Louisa (Vada's
mother) did the housekeeping. Every morning, she did the milking and
gathered the eggs. In the yard there was
a hopper to hold the ashes from which came the lye for making soap. She made thier butter, soap and clothes. The children were also busy. Just as soon as they were big enough, about
five or six years old, they had their work to do. They helped take care of the babies. They carried buckets of water from the
spring, picked beans and berries. By the
time the boys were twelve, they cut firewood with an ax and plowed with a horse. They helped raise sugar cane, tobacco, corn
and hay. They were proud of being able
to raise everything the family needed.

David's father Thomas
Morley owned one of the first cars in
Doe Valley. It was an Oakland. He bought
the car in Bristol but couldn't drive it home.
So he took his son David "D.J." to drive it home. While learning to drive in the parking lot at
the store, Thomas ran over the "outhouse".
Thomas ran a mercantile
store. Barter was an important part of
the business. Chickens, eggs, etc. were
taken to the store and traded for store goods.
Two young girls took a chicken to Tom's store to trade for candy. They got their candy; but Tom didn't have
room for the chicken so he sent it home with the girls.

Maude Morley Pierce's
twin brother Claude was a bachelor who
lived in Kingsport and ran a store with their brother Brownlow. Claude loved to fish, so every Sunday in warm
weather he would head out to Watauga Lake and fish in the morning. He would
head up to Spearbranch where he grew up for the afternoon. He always brought a
watermelon in the trunk of his car, and when he got to Maude's house, he would
put it in the creek across the road (Spear Branch). There was a flat, wide
space where Lettie Morley had had a
spring house for keeping the dairy products cold, and though the spring house was gone, there was still the perfect
place to put the watermelon in the icy water to cool. After a couple of hours
sitting under the big maple tree in the front yard talking, Claude would send one of the bigger kids to
get the melon. It was delicious! story

Her mind remained sharp until her death at age 102. She worked
in the house and took care of the other children before she was 10 years
old. She didn't go to Elizabethton until
she was 11 years, then she walked all the way and stayed all night with her
uncle Kelly Rains. She started to school
at the Pierce School at Sadie and her
uncle Joe Elliott took her to school on the first day. There was only one teacher. She already knew her "ABC's" so she
came home to tell her parents that she was able to cover 3 pages the first
day. She completed the 7th grade, then
quit and worked by staying with people and taking care of their children. She also did the housework. She earned 10 cents a week for her work. Later
when she was about 16, she was able to earn 25 cents a week. Source:

the client was sound before the war and at date of his enlistment, that he
suffered with diarrhea in the winter of 1864 and 1865 while at Cantoonment
Lysing near Knoxville, TN and rheumatism in January and February 1865 after he
returned from the Virginia raid in December 1864, that the claimant has
complained of rupture, rheumatism and diarrhea ever since his discharge. Soon after discharge he was sleeping with the
claimant and the clm't had him feel a lump on his right side. David had a brother in Company A with
Henry. Company A and K "were
together a good deal"
Henry had been
discharged on March 10 1865 and he returned to his home about the last of
April. He visited David at Aunt Margaret
Duggers about the first of May while David had the smallpox. Henry says that he
had the disease himself and was in the Army hospital . H.C. Pierce
--------------------------
Deposition L- October
23, 1884- George L.C. Pierce, neighbor, testifies as to prior soundness and
that the claimant has complained of rheumatism and diarrhea ever since his
discharge. He had seen Sarah and the
children at work in the field after the war when David was not able to
work. David lived at Margaret Duggers
most of the time before and during the war and did farm work for her until he
went into the army in the fall of 1864.
George states that he knew David was free from rupture before the war by
sleeping with him, swimming with him and frequently seeing him naked during
every summer for three or four summers. George had been "often swimming
with him the summer before he went away and had been sleeping with him almost
every night for some time just before he went into the army.

Deposition A November
24, 1884, Claimant states that he contracted rheumatism and diarrhea on the
raid to the Virginia Malt works, in
December 1864, but continued on duty until April 1865 when he contracted
Typhoid fever in Hillsville, VA and was left in the hands of the enemy in a
hospital at White Sulphur Springs, VA, also states that he received a rupture
at Marion, VA in December 1864 by his horse blundering and pitched him against
the pummel of his saddle. " The first symptoms I felt of rheumatism was while on the raid to
the VA, Salt Works in December 1864 and after I came back. I was suffering with diarrhea and rheumatism
but continued on duty and started out on the Salisbury raid into NC and went on
until the Company was at Hillsville, VA in Carroll County after the 3rd of
April 1865 which I got past traveling with typhoid fever and was left by Dr
Cameron and Lt. Walker of my Company. After I recovered from the fever, I left
and while on my way to rejoin my command was taken with small pox and lay at
Aunt Peggy Duggers about 2 weeks with that disease. And finally returned to my command about the
last of June 1865 while stationed at Lenoirs Station near Knoxville. I was
almost past traveling after I left the White Sulphur Springs and suffered with
diarrhea and rheumatism and every since that date." The examiner asked about his symptoms of
brain fever: " My head felt as big as a washing tub and my head felt like
it would bust and I have had a hard hurting in my head at times ever
since. My mind is not quick like it
ought to be." David

side close to the groin. At the time it
protruded about half the size of an egg.
During the Summer of 1864, before William was taken prisoner, William had been detailed as nurse in a
hospital in Gallatin, TN. It was in a
catholic church. David was sick and in
another building across the street.
William found out David was there and ran over to see him every day.
David was discharged from the hospital and sent with the Regiment.
He was sent to the
front. He was not yet well but they sent
everyone that could possibly walk. He was sick with chronic Diarrhea and
Typhoid fever. That is what the Steward
at the hospital told William. David was
there for about 3 months. He was very
sick. David could not stand in March and
had to get into the ambulance. William

Deposition of James L.
Morley - August 25, 1883 - age 35,
Paradise, Rooks County, Kansas- James
moved to Kansas in 1883.states that He and his brother David lived with
Margaret "Peggy" Dugger's home most of the time. " In may or June 1865 while at Mrs
Duggers, David came home sick from the Stoneman raid. I slept with him and took the disease. Mrs Dugger took it and also many other
people. My sister died with small pox
taken from him and others also died of the same disease. " "I was living with Mrs Peggy Dugger most
of the time and had lived at home with my mother until I went to Mrs Duggers
and since the close of the war I continued to live with Mrs Dugger until about
1873.and then at my mothers until about 1875 when I was married.
In March of 1865 when
he started out on the Stoneman raid, he came to Aunt Peggy Duggers where I was
living near home and stayed over all night with me, and he was complaining of a
rupture and he showed me his side.
In Pension Paper dated
October 26, 1885, James L. Morley states that his father was a union man and
was killed early during the war. : The
first that I knew of his sickness was when he stopped at home sick. They were returning from the Stoneman
Raid. He had the Small Pox while at
home. He was at home sick for about 3
weeks then went to join his regiment.

Civil War Pension file: Deposition
A Case of minor of David J. Morley, On
this 29 day of October 1913 at Fish Spring, county of Carter, appeared Sarah J.
Pierce, who says: I am 77 years
old: am the widow of William Pierce. My address is Butler, TN # 3 route. I knew David J. Morley all his life and I
knew Sarah Clawson whom he married nearly all her life. Neither had a former marriage. I am sure of this. I was present when their child Iris was born
and she was born Sept. 2 1881. I know
that because my grandson Crumley was born Sept. 2, 1880 and Iris was a year
younger to a day. I was also present
when their youngest child Roy was born but I cannot give the date to save my
life, but I recollect he was a right
small little boy, about 4 years old as near as I can come to it, when his
mother died. I don't recollect the date
of her death but it was in July. It was
then or near then just before she took down sick and Roy wanted to go with her
to hunt a cow. He must have been at least
4 years old. Oh yes, he was over 3 years
old. He was wearing onesies when his
mother died but boys wore onesies back them days til they were 4 or 5 years
old. I am very distantly related to
claimants aunts. I recollect the two
children were born between Iris and Roy, One was a boy born in March 1886 for I
have a granddaughter who was born the same night, March 22. Her boy died after a few months. Now Roy came next. I recollect it was he came a little over 2
years later. signed Sarah

Notes for JOHN ELBERT
PIERCE:
John and his three brothers, moved to Indiana to work in the
coal mines. The coal mines shut down
every April for the summer and the whole family would go to Michigan to work in
the factories.
Picture 1: Ethel and children Picture 2:
William James Barry holding Hazel,
Henry Hayes Pressnell, Ethel, John, Lou
John moved to Indiana
when he was 17 years old. John worked
three jobs during the depression years.
He worked in the coal mines during the week. On the weekends, he worked
as a barber in his own shop in Wilfred, Indiana. In the summers when the coal mines shut down,
he worked as a carpenter or in the factories.
His daughter, Hazel, remembered going to Pontiac, Michigan, so he could get work
during the summer. He was working in the General Motors factory. His wife Edna also worked in a factory. Their son
Lester worked in a nursery. At
age 11, Hazel was left to take care of her siblings and
cousins. She was "scared to death
being in the big city after living all her life in the country" They had beans almost every day and she would
burn them because she had never cooked on a gas stove before. (Thanks to Hazel and Lisa for sharing this
story.)
John and his
brothers would visit Tennessee almost
every year. When Lester married, he and
his wife would visit. They usually
stayed with Lola or Maude when
they visited. Doris and her husband
stayed with Jean.
Ethel and John's first
child died just after birth. It was her first child, and she had a very
hard time during labor. The doctor
injured the baby's head with forceps. He
only lived a couple of days. His
name was Leroy.
Natural Gas was found
on John's land. He leased it to a
company so that they could run pipes and a tank. He got a check for $4.00 a year, and all the
natural gas they could use.
When his brother Cecil got older, he had to be on
oxygen for lung problems associated with the coal dust.
Glen moved to Michigan
to work for General Motors. After he retired, he moved to California.
John worked for William
Crumley Pierce in his store in 1905, Butler, TN.
On May 5, 1905, he
bought a suit of clothes, hat, shirt for
$ 7.40.
August 18, 1905, he
bought shoes and socks for $2.15
1907 , John worked for
John T. Peters on March 25th -29th and was paid $5.40

Broyles were brothers and they married sisters ( Lola and Maude Pierce)
Another brother Albert
married Ruth Pierce (daughter of Ollie C. Pierce) Ruth was Lola and Maude's
first cousin.
Elizabethton Star October 15, 1978: Rev. Victor Broyles celebrated his 74th
birthday on Sept 30 at his home in Butler, with a birthday dinner given by his
wife and children. Those attending
include Mr and Mrs Walter P. Broyles, Mr and Mrs W. C. Pierce, Robert Deloach
of Elizabethton, Faye and April Broyles, Park and Evelyn (Sue) Arnold, Ethel
Garland and son Jeff. Jerry and Carrol Garland. Penny, Tracy, Chris and Jay,
Margie White and Teresa, Otte, Katie Uklee and Otte, Jr, Larry Garland, and Mr
and Mrs James Broyles from Dayton, Ohio.
In talking with Rev. Broyles, we felt like writing a few things about him
because he has had a lot of interesting and colorful things happen to him in
his 74 years.
He was born in Marion, VA. He is the son of the late Luther and Seina
Comer Broyles. The Broyles family moved
to the Bluff City area in 1908. Rev.
Broyles said he went to work in an overall factory at an early age. Then in 1924, the family moved again to
Elizabethton. In 1927, he met and
married his wife, the daughter of W.C. and Cora Pierce. To this union was born 5 children. They are Ethel Garland and Evelyn Arnold both
of Butler and Corine Smith, Elk Hart, Ind., and two boys, Ralph Broyles of
Dayton, Ohio and Earl Broyles, who is deceased. Rev. Broyles has seven brothers and five
sisters. Two are deceased. They are Walter Paige Broyles, Butler, Lee
and Comer Broyles, Fort Meyers, Florida, John and Albert Broyles
(deceased). Mrs. Sam (Gladys) Nichols,
Bluff City, Mrs Hubert (Viola) Greene, Elizabethton and Mrs Hoover (Dorothy)
Crowe, Elizabethton.
We also found out from Rev. Broyles that he
had worked at many jobs - as an auto mechanic, at a hosiery mill at Johnson
City, at the Rayon Plants in Elizabethton, at the Carter County Farm Bureau,
carpentry work, and many other jobs. But
in his mind was always the desire to be a minister of the Gospel.
After the TVA made everyone move, the old
school house was the place the people had been meeting and having Sunday School
and preaching some times. The attendance
had grown it 70 to 80. So in March of
1947, Pierce Baptist Church was organized.
Rev. Broyles was ordained to the ministry. He pastored 4 churches - Mountain View, Sinks
Valley, Fish Springs and the one with the longest ministry was of course, Pierce
Town Baptist Church. In his closing
remarks, he said " I would say to any young person, if they have the
burning desire to work for the Lord don't wait a long time. Go then and there." His philosophy is love the Lord with all your
heart and your neighbor as yourself.
Elizabethton Star:
August, 1978 Rev. and Mrs Broyles
Honored on Anniversary. More that 150
friends and relatives attended an anniversary reception honoring Rev. and Mrs
Victor Broyles on their 50th wedding anniversary, August 21.
Open house was held for
the Broyles at their home in Butler by their children. The three-tier cake, done in traditional
colors of gold and white, was topped with a bride and groom. Mrs. Broyles was wearing a baby blue
polyester dress accented with arose bud corsage with tints of gold. Mr and Mrs Broyles would like to thank
everyone for thier good wishes and gifts and for attending thier special
event. You made it a day we'll always
remember! Mr. and Mrs Broyles are the
parents of 5 chldren. They also have 12 grandchildren and seven
great-grandchildren that were all present except one.

CLAYTON PIERCE:
Joseph
worked in Lenoir, NC in a furniture factory for many years. He died in 1988
just 2 years before retirement. Joe had
his own wood work shop at his home. He
made lots of cabinets, frames, shelves, bookcases, boxes and just about
anything. He was very good with the
craft. He was teaching his son-in-law,
Eddie the trade when he died. Anything
that his wife or his children wanted for
their home, he would build it for them.
Joe was a good natured, quite, person,.
He was a good father and husband and well liked by all his
neighbors. He was always there to lend a
hand. He took care of one of his Aunts,
Fannie Stout, doing chores, errands and etc. He took her into his home to care
for her during her last days. He also
took in his mother rather than let the family send her to a nursing home. She stayed with Joe and Mae until she
died.
Picture 1: Martin, Barbara, Janice, Joseph, Marvin,
Mae 2 Mae
Mae's father Grant
Davis was a coal miner. Mae was born in
West Virginia in a mining town. They
later moved to Ballard, West Virginia.
She met Joseph on a visit to Mountain City. In her early marriage years Mae helped her
father-in-law in his farm work. She used
to help raise the tobacco from planting to grading and selling. She helped in planting the bean crops and
picking them. She helped in planting
sugar cane and making molasses.
She always had a big
garden and she did her own canning. She
put up hundreds of quart of beans, tomatoes, beets, kraut, pickles, corn and
other vegetables, plus fruit (canned, frozen, sauce, jelly and dried) They also had cows, which she helped
milk. She canned and froze the
meat. She churned and made buttermilk
from the milk. They raised hogs and
pigs. She fed them and canned and froze
the pork. The mincemeat pies made from
the head meat of the pig was delicious.
They even used the pigs feet to pickle and also the tongues.
They raised chickens
for the meat and eggs. Mae would often
make pets of the chickens and ducks and would not eat them. From the ducks and chickens they would pluck
the feathers and make feather beds and pillows.
Martin was the oldest
son and became ill and had to be hospitalized when he was about 7 years
old. He went into a coma when he was in
his 20's and Mae would feed him by hand and turn him every hour day and
night. She took excellent care of him.
Mae and her daughter
Barbara became involved in crafts and plaster of paris and ceramics. They started making house decorating items
and selling them. They later had their
own business together until Joseph died.
Mae was a very talented crafts person.
She used to make fancy pillows and sell them. She has made many quilts. She used to sew and make all the girls
dresses. She made crafts and gave them
to her friends and neighbors. Mae is
always there when a neighbor or friend is ill or needs her. She takes them food (their favorite is her
potato soup) and she visits the Nursing home every week, just to make people
feel needed. She remarried to John
Blevins from Shady Valley on September
19, 1993. Since her marriage to John,
Mae joined the Senior Citizens Group in Mountain City, TN. She had never been involved with a group like
that before and loves it very much. She
spends much of her time baking and making crafts to take to her friends that
she has made there.

Elizabethton Star
Obituary December 1962: Missing man's
body found near home. The body of 67
year old N.H. McCloud was found near here yesterday, 20 days after the retired
Navy veteran was reported missing.
McCloud, who wandered
from his home near Cove Ridge Dock on Dec. 3, apparently took his own
life. Sheriff Sam Frost said both his
arms were slashed above the wrists.
The body was found 1
1/2 miles from the dock in the Campbell Hollow section about noon yesterday
(Sunday) by the victim's brother, Harry McCloud. Officers surmised McCloud had apparently
tried to take shelter, since his body was partially covered by a log. The man's wallet and hat were found beside
his body.
An intensive search of
the lake area was begun shortly after McCloud was reported missing, but was
called off when officers received reports that the man might have gone to
Georgia where his wife was staying.
McCloud lived here with
a daughter, Mrs Jean Trivette. She told
officers her father had left $45 in a bible before leaving and said he seemed
"his usual self"
McCloud was a member of
Pierce Baptist Church and of VFW post 2166 in Elizabethton. Buried with full military honors.

Frank &
Jesse James
In the late 1800's,
Issac Houston Bell, put $250.00 in the Coffeeville Bank in Coffeeville,Missouri; Frank & Jesse James, robbed the bank.
Issac, chased them from Coffeeville, Mo; to Minnesota and was gone for month's, but never Caught up
with them.He said if he had caught up with them, he was going to tell Jesse, he
didn't care if he takes the bank's money, but he wasn't going to take his.
Later, he said it was a good thing he didn't catch them as they probably would
have shot him. After that, Issac, never trusted banks..He always put his money
in an old Tobacco can, & put it under his bed at night.When he would get up
the next morning, first thing he would do was count his money.When I ask my
Mother why he dose that, that's when she told me this story. Told By Issac

Dugger/Scarborough
Descendants of John Scarborough /Scarburgh
According to legend and
early records, the Skarthi family left what is now Norway in 874 A.D. to sail to
Iceland. They were reputed to have been
the first permanent settlers of the island.
A part of the family left Iceland in 965 A.D. to settle in what is now
Scarborough, England. The family lived
in a castle called Scarburgh built on a rocky cliff. ("Scar" meaning
rocky and "burg" meaning cliff). A few people of this name still live
around Scarborough today.
--------------------
In 1200 A.D. there were
records of Robert de Scardeburg. In 1292
there is records of a Henry. After that
there is continous list of the eldest sons.
Skarthi's
Stronghold: 'From the fury of the
Norsemen, good Lord deliver us'
Fierce pagan pirates
known as Vikings, from as far as Norway, Sweden and Denmark, continually
crossed the seas in their awesome longships to rape, pillage and plunder all
along the North East coast of England. It's not surprising there's no record of
any settlement before then. And this state of affairs continued on and off from
as early as 789AD.
Then one day in 966 AD
a group of Vikings, beached their ships on the sands of the South Bay and set
up camp under the headland. In fact it became a permanent base for a fort named
SKARDABORG, after their leader, Thorgils. Now before you raise an eyebrow, you
should know that Vikings had a habit of
naming settle-ments after their leader, often using nicknames. Thorgils
was known as Skarthi, meaning 'hare-lip', so Skardaborg meant 'Skarthi's
stronghold'. (His friends had colourful names, too. How about con-fronting Eric
Bloodaxe, Swein Forkbeard or Aki the Tall?) If you think that all that sounds
rather far-fetched, the ancient epic 'Saga of Kormak', which recounts the deeds
of Skarthi's brother, refers to raids along the coast and the fort at Skardaborg.
Feasting and fighting -
it's tough being a Viking
(The home
that............ the Skarthi family would have lived in was), one room.... Like
many homes of the time, it was made almost entirely of wood or wattle and daub
(sticks covered with mud) with thatch or wooden shingles for the roof.
Thorgils (would have
spent a lot of time)teaching his son Sven Viking sagas which he'll would have
had to recount at the ale-feast....... Astrid, Thorgil's wife, would have spent
a lot of time making bread on a long handled griddle over the fire. Compared
with the fuss we make over our diets today, Viking fare was positively grim.
Wild fruits, beans, cabbage, some
coarse bread and a form
of porridge. Everyday. If you fancied a change you could always try and catch
one of the local seabirds like cormorant or puffin.
Life was harsh. Eating
and drinking dominated their lives, with huge ale-feasts in celebration of
their Norse gods. You'll have heard of Odin and Thor but there were others.
Loki the mischievous spirit and Freyr who brought fertility and good crops.
Wiped from the
map: Life flourished here for quite
some time as Skardaborg became a key gateway to York for visitors from
Scandinavia. But by 1066 things took a turn for the worse.
Edward the Confessor,
son of the last Saxon king. died leaving no-one to succeed him. And 3 men vied
for the kingdom. William of Normandy (Soon to be
known as the
Conqueror), Harold, Earl of Wessex and Harald Hadrada (the 'ruthless'),
theViking king of Norway. But Harald couldn't wait, so he invaded with a force
of 200 ships and 10,000 men. On his way south he burned Scarborough to the
ground, slaying almost everyone. That's why you'll not find any mention of it
in the famous Domesday Book. Note

SCARBOROUGH (SAMUEL8, HENRY7, HENRY6,
JOHN5, HENRY4, HENRY3,
JOHN2, JOHN1) was born Abt. 1630 in
Charles City County, VA, and died March 16, 1675/76 in Surry County, Va. He married AMY NAOMI DAVIS 1665 in Surry
County, VA. She was born Abt. 1635 in
Charles City County, VA.
Notes for WILLIAM
SCARBOROUGH:
William Scarborough's
name first appears in the Surry County, Virginia Records on Dec. 10, 1656, when
he testified in the case of Potter versus Delke
On June 20 1664, John Rawlings and Wm.
Scarborough surveyed and assigned Mr. Humphrey Allen 12 headrights for a
certain patent of land(Id, -124).
He was appointed administrator of the estate
of Ann Holdsworth, June 18, 1675
the reason for the
appointment was that Wm. Scarborough had married Mrs. Amy Holdsworth, the
mother of Ann and widow of Walter Holdsworth.
Some researchers feel
that Samuel, Edmunds brother could be Williams father. Samuel and wife were born and died in
England. William was born in VA.
Ann Holdsworth made her will on March 6,
1672/73; probated May 4, 1675. She desired to be buried at the discretion of
her father(Step-father) Wm. Scarboro and made bequests to her brother, Walter
Holdsworth, and sister Mary Holdsworth of cows in the possession of Mr. Tatum.
(BK. 2, p. 81).
William Scarborough was involved in what
came to be known as Bacon's Rebellion.
William was one of Bacon's active followers. But, the rebellion failed. On Jan. 29, 1676/67 the Royal Commissioners,
who were appointed by KING CHARLES to investigate the grievances which led to
the Rebellion, arrived in Virginia.
Governor Berkeley, who the rebellion had been directed against, was still in power, and stubbornly refused to
have the Commissioners in his mansion at Green Springs.
The Commissioners had brought a pardon for the
rebels from the King, but the Governor carried on his series of trials and
executions. On March 16, 1676/7, William
Scarborough was summarily convicted of treason and hanged.
The KING CHARLES II said that Governor
Berkeley "killed more men in that naked country than I did for the murder
of my father."" from: Bacons Rebellion from book by William Bennett
Boddie.
It is a family
rumor(Scarborough) that William was later pardoned but it was too late.
EMIGRATED TO SURRY CO
VA ON DEC 29, 1656, EXECUTED IN BACON'S REBELLION MARCH 6, 1676 BY HANGING. ONE DAY LATER HIS

Notes for MARY
SCARBOROUGH:
Mary Left a will naming
her favorite grandson STERLING Dugger. He was the Son Of Henry Dugger And Ann
Bailey, Mary made her will on January 27, 1778 in Brunswick Co, Va.:
In the name of God amen I Mary Duggar of the
County of Brunswick being in perfect health of body and in perfect sense and
memory thanks be to almighty, first and principally I give my soul to almighty
my Creator, and Jesus Christ my Reemer fully trusting in their mercy for my
sins and for what Estate it hath God to bless me with in this life I give as is
hereafter expressed secondly I give all my personal estate to my grandson
Sterling Dugger and his heirs forever freely and graciously free from all
incumberances hereafter. This 27th day of January 1778. Signed: Mary (her N mark) Duggar, signed sealed in presence of John Turbyfill,
James Duggar, Sarah (her X mark) Duggar
--On 4 Mar 1778 Mary was
again mentioned in the Parish records for an allowance. (Bath Parish Register
of Dinwiddie and St Andrew's Parish Vestry Book of Brunswick by William Lindsay
Hopkins, 1989 - pg 98)
--She was listed again
on 25 Sep 1778. (Bath Parish Register of Dinwiddie and St Andrew's Parish Vestry Book of Brunswick
by William Lindsay Hopkins, 1989 - pg 99)
--She was listed again
on 5 Aug 1780 for the same reason. (Bath Parish Register of Dinwiddie and St
Andrew's Parish Vestry Book of Brunswick by William Lindsay Hopkins, 1989 - pg
101)
By 1782 James Dugger
was taking care of Mary Scarborough Dugger. I think she was his grandmother, but it is possible that
he was her youngest child instead of a grandchild. In any event, he was given
an allowance on 3 Jul 1782 for maintenance of Mary Dugger. (Bath Parish
Register of Dinwiddie and St Andrew's Parish Vestry Book of Brunswick by
William Lindsay Hopkins, 1989 - pg 101)
Mary Scarborough Dugger
died on 26 May 1783 in Brunswick Co, VA. This date was given on the 20 Jun 1783
Parish record where James Dugger was given an allowance for maintaining Mary
Dugger from 3 Jul 1782 "to the day of her death on 26 May 1783 and burying
her". (Bath Parish Register of Dinwiddie and St Andrew's Parish Vestry
Book of Brunswick by William Lindsay Hopkins, 1989 - pg 102)
Mary Dugger's Will was
recorded on 22 Sep 1783 in Brunswick Co, VA.
(Brunswick Co, VA Will Book 2 page 22)
The Dugger family was
in the area even before North Carolina was formed. The Dugger's had land grants from the King of
England to develop iron and zinc mines and to export lumber to the "Mother
Country" long before the American
Revolution. William Dugger was a member
of the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1656.
--------------------------
Legend has said that
there were three Dugger brothers who came from Scotland to Yadkin Elk, having settled for a time near
Petersburg, Virginia. Benjamin, Daniel and Julius were their names. Benjamin
stopped at Brushy Fork, near the present Holtsclaw settlement. Daniel went west
to Kentucky and Julius settled in what was Carter, County Tennessee, near Fish
Springs.
Another unproven
possibility is that the Duggers
originated in England. There were two
Duggard's who were transported prisoners(one was sentenced for murder)
specifically John Duggard from the English Midlands, it is suspected that the Duggers
descended from this John.

Notes for WILLIAM
"JULIUS SR. " DUGGER:
William Dugger Sr
(1720) was a neighbor in Granville Co, NC (now Warren County) of a man named
Julius Nichols beginning 1756 (or before), and some have suggested that this
man was Julius Dugger's namesake.
William Dugger Sr
(1720) was in Lunenburg Co, VA in 1749, but in Brunswick Co, VA in 1750, then
to Granville Co, NC by 1752, and there until 1762, so Julius (1760), was
probably born in Granville Co, NC. The family moved to Pittsylvania Co, VA by
1762, and were neighbors there of Samuel Hall who was to become Julius'
father-in-law. In the 1771 time frame, the Dugger and Hall families moved to Surry Co, NC in the vicinity of Elk Creek. This area became Wilkes
County in 1777, (and Watauga County in 1848).
It is thought by some that William is the same
person later mistakenly referred to among his descendants as "Julius
Caesar Dugger Sr".
William Dugger and
Martha, Margaret and Mary of VA, NC and TN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
William Dugger Sr is probably a son of Daniel
Dugger and Mary Scarborough. There is no solid proof that he is their son, but
they seem the only choice.
William Dugger was born
ca 1720 or earlier (based on his first public record in 1741 assuming he was at
least 21). He was most likely born in Surry Co, VA. He moved to Brunswick Co,
VA early on, later moving to Lunenburg, then back to Brunswick, then to
Granville Co, NC, then back to Lunenburg again, in the section that later became
Pittsylvania Co, VA. From there he moved to Surry Co, NC to the section that
later became Wilkes County, and today is along the Wilkes - Watauga County
border. He died in that area ca 1773.
On 26 Oct 1741 William
Dugger witnessed a Brunswick County, VA Deed between Horton of Surry and Tims
of Brunswick Co, VA. (Brunswick Co, VA Deed Book 2 page 130).
On 16 Jun 1744 William
Dugger received a land patent for 328 acres in Brunswick Co, VA adjoining
William Hagood and Boswell. (Virginia Land Patent Book 23 page 703)
On 6 Aug 1747 William
Duggar of Brunswick Co, VA purchased 200 acres from Drury and Martha Melone of
Lunenburg County. The land was in Brunswick, on both sides of Beechlick Branch.
(Brunswick Co, VA Deed Book 3 page 337).
On 26 Jun 1750 William
Dugger and wife Martha of Brunswick Co, VA sold Benjamin Lanier 200 acres on
both sides of Beechlick branch (same land he purchased from Drury and Martha
Melone in 1747). Witnesses were Sampson Lanier, William Rawlings and John
Marshall. (Brunswick Co, VA Deed Book 4 page 161).
In January 1752, in Brunswick Court, William
Dugger and John Dugger (his brother) were suing John Overbie and John Roberts.
(Brunswick Co, VA Order Book 4 page 115).
On 25 Jul 1785 the
"Widow Dugger" was mentioned in a court order for road work in Wilkes
Co, NC. John Nauthern was appointed overseer of the road from Ben Howards to
Widow Duggers. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes
He married (1) bef 1745
in Brunswick Co, VA Martha , died aft 1750; (2) aft 1750 in Brunswick Co, VA
Margaret; (3) bef 1772 Mary , died aft 11 Aug 1787 in Carter Co, TN.

Notes for WILLIAM C.
DUGGER:
Nancy Ann Brown Pearce
was a widow with 8 children and William had 8 motherless children when they
married. Together they had 7
children. William was a prosperous
farmer and operated a grist mill and a saw mill. He was able to feed, clothe and educate 23
children. He built an unusually long
dining table and benches which seated the 25 family members.
The first settler in
Siam Valley, Carter County, TN was Teter Nave.
A few months later, William Dugger and his brother- in-law, Drury
Goodwin, settled adjacent to Nave.
William and Drury were soldiers in the Revolutionary War, in which Drury
was killed.
Several of the Dugger's left for Indiana
during the 1860's Civil War time frame.
Mary Ann Sabra Dugger accompanied some of her brothers to Vermillion Co,
Indiana.
Story as told by
Alexander F. Dugger (born 1884) about how William Dugger's three sons by his
first wife ran away from home when they were still fairly young (15 and under).
It was probably around 1805-1808 time frame:
"... Three boys
Julius, James and Mark Dugger had a stepmother and lived in Tenn. A mischievous
boy or boys in the community committed some sort of misdemeanor and laid it on
to the eldest one or the Duggers boys a fifteen year old lad. His father a
strict disciplinarian took his son to task. The boy denied the blame, Later the
conversation at a woman`s meeting (probably a quilting) centered on the
mis-deed and all blamed the Dugger boy. Again, the father called his fifteen
year old son and quizzed him. The son denied guilt. The father told him that
circumstances pointed to him and that he was going to whip him. The son said to
his father, "If you whip me it will be the last time that you will ever
whip me." The father whipped him. At the evening meal no boys showed up,
when they failed to appear by late bed time, the father and his neighbors
searched the forest throughout the night for the boys. In the early morning
hours the father stood on a large log and called loudly to his boys without
reply. The log was hollow and the boys were spending the night in it, yet they
did not answer the fathers calls. The boys found their way through the forest
to what is know Knox county, Kentucky and their father never located them until
all were grown and married.
Records in Bloomfield the co seat of Greene
co. show that a Julius and Mark Dugger filed on land in 1816. Thus two of the
run-away boys and the widow the third one were located in Green co. in the
early 1800`s...."
--------------------

Carter Co, TN on 10 Apr 1839:

Notes for JULIUS
DUGGER:
(Note from Marty
Grant). Andrew Ferguson married Margaret ROSS, the widow of James Dugger 28 Jul
1817 in Jackson Co, IN. James Dugger was a son of William Dugger (1750-1839) of
Carter Co, TN. James Dugger and his two full brothers Julius and Mark left
Carter Co, TN and moved first to Knox Co, KY, then later went to Greene Co, IN
where apparently Julius got in trouble. Bill Ferguson says the family rumor is
that Andrew Ferguson and Julius Dugger killed Isaac Edwards to get revenge for
a rape, possibly of Julius' sister. More research will be needed to find out if
that was the case. According to Robert Nave, Julius later went to Coles Co, IL.
FIRST INDICTMENT FOR
MURDER At this term the first
indictment for murder in the county was found. Andrew Ferguson and Julius
Dugger were charged with the murder of Isaac Edwards. The murder was charged to
have been done with an ax. Elkins
Smith,the Prosecuting Attorney, assisted by Addison Smith and Isaac Naylor,
prosecuted the case. These assisting attorneys were employed by the county to
prosecute. The defendants were defended by Craven P. Hester and John Law. The
defendants demanded separate trials, and Ferguson was tried at that term and
acquitted. The case was continued as to Dugger. Before the first trial, the
defendants were sent to Bloomington, Ind., for safe keeping, and after Ferguson
was acquitted, Dugger was sent to Spencer for safe keeping. The trial created great excitement among the
people throughout the county. The original jury was challenged entirely, after
which forty-eight others were brought in, and with these they could not impanel
a jury. Twenty-five others were brought into court, making, in all eighty-five.
From this number they selected a jury composed of Moses Ritter, John Burch,
George Burch, Simon Snyder, John Uland, Joel Benham, Daniel Ingersoll, George
Padgett, Joseph Mise, Alexander Craig,, John Breece and John Moore. The case
was ably prosecuted and as ably defended. The jury found the defendant guilty
of manslaughter, and he was sentenced to the State prison for four years.

Thomas McQueen who married Barbara Wills. Thomas and Barbara a child named
Samuel McQueen b. 1802. d. 1865 This
Samuel b. 1802 (Hannah Dugger's
grandson) has an interesting story:
Samuel had an iron Works an he sent his pig iron to Norfolk, Va. a
distance of 350 miles. Periodically, he
rode horseback to Norfolk to collect his money in gold coin which he brought
home in saddle bags. He had slaves to do
his work and amassed considerable wealth.
About 1847, he built and furnished the first country home in Johnson
County to be built with brick. He was
active in politics. When the Civil War
started, he was serving his third term as sheriff. He was Colonel of the Johnson County
HomeGuard Confederates during the Civil War.
He was associated in working for the Confederate Cause with Jacob
Wagner, son of Mathias Wagner who came to Roan Creek before 1798 with William
Shoun, son of Leonard Shoun and with Green Moore who married Sarah Shoun,
daughter of Leonard Shoun. At the beginning
of the Civil War, Samuel was planning to
take his daughters ( Josephine b. 1848, Mary b.1853 and Margaret b. 1846) to London for the
duration but finally decided to stay home and do what he could for the
Confederate cause and to protect his property.
He sent his daughters to a Moravian (Pa. Dutch) Girls School at
Winston-Salem, NC. McQueen was active
in the Johnson County Home guards and his name was associated with the killing
of many Union men. Federal troups occupied the counties in April 1865 and he
was forced to leave his home. Samuel
went over to Ashe County, NC.
Unfortunately, a Johnson county man who knew McQueen saw him and
arrested him. He was turned over to federal troops and brought back to Johnson
County. He was first made a prisoner
under a squad of colored soldiers and ordered taken to Taylorsville. He objected to the colored squad and Capt.
Dan Ellis of Co. A, 13 th Reg. TN Volunteer Cavalry took charge of him. A soldier in Co. A, Hascue Worley, shot
Samuel in the back while en route between Shouns and Taylorsville (Mtn, City)
It is reported that Sergeant , W. M. Barry, also shot him after he fell. After he was killed, his home was wrecked
by Union Soldiers. The windows and doors
were torn out and the ceiling and walls shot full of holes.

Carter County, Tennessee and in the month of May 1781 (as he thinks) he
volunteered and marched under Captain William Smith whose company marched to
the Big Island Ford in French Broad River where in the month of August it
joined Col. Sevier, that from thense he marched under Captain Smith and Col.
Sevier, against the Chickamauga, Cherokee, and Creek Indians, crossing
Tennessee and Hiwassee Rivers, Chickamauga Creek, passing Van's Town, Roger's
Town, the mountain called Facing Mountain (dividing the waters of Tennessee and
Coosa, and stopping at the Coosa River, where they burnt the town called Coosa
water and marching from there burnt the Big Shoemake and Little Shoemake towns,
and burnt all the towns at that time but Roger's Town. They took at that time
18 prisoners and affiant was in actual service as he thinks on this occasion 4
months. The troops were disbanded as he thinks on the Tennessee River as they
returned and affiant came from their home. During this month the troops
suffered considerably from want of food, etc., and under Captain Ford to
Knoxville, Tennessee, where the troops were disbanded under General Martin.
From Knoxville they went to the Lookout Mountain where a battle was fought with
the Chickamauga and Creek Indians, in which 8 white men were wounded and 23
killed. That he served actually on this occasion about 2 months. Affiant
believes that his actual services were performed in 7 months. He has no
documentary evidence by which to establish the truth of his claim, and believes
that it can be partially established by the subjoined certificate.
He hereby relinquished
all claims to a pension except the present and declares that his name is not
inscribed on the pension roll of any state to his knowledge.
Sworn and subscribed in
open court 19th September 1832 Julius Dugger
Isaac Taylor aged 75
years, makes oath that he has heard the foregoing affidavit read and believes
the statements therein contained to be true. That he was a Lieutenant in the
Regiment commanded by Col. Sevier in the fall of 1781. That he was acquainted
with Captain William Smith and believed that he served as a Captain under Col.
Sevier on the campaign mentioned by Mr. Dugger. The route taken by Col.
Sevier's regiment on that occasion is correctly described by Mr. Dugger.
Affiant was not however personally acquainted with Julius Dugger at that time-
but from the above affidavit and from conservations with Mr. Dugger, (with whom
he has been acquainted for several years) and from circumstances detailed to
him by Mr. Dugger as having occurred during the campaign, he has no doubt but
that he served as he states. Isaac Taylor 19th September 1832

They had 20 children
John was commissioned
by Governor John Sevier as a Captain of the Militia at the age of 16. He served in the War of 1812, having been
drafted and sworn in on January 6, 1814.
He served as an ensign under Adam Winsell's 2nd Regiment of TN Militia
commanded by Col. Ephraim Addison. He
engaged in battle with the Creek Indians.
This company marched into the
Creek Indian Nation by the way of Little Washington, the Lookout Mountain, to
Fort Storder and on to a place in Alabama called Fort Williams. John described their experiences as he told
of an attack of fever, brought on by the "severity of the weather, great
exposure and hardships to which the army was exposed in the midst of winter
among a hostile and savage people-in a wilderness filled with streams through
which the whole army was forced to wade, there being no bridges or other means
of transportation for the soldiers."
He was in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in
Alabama on March 27, 1814. The Book,
"Tennessee, The Volunteer State" states that: after the battle John was on picket duty with
a squad when the half-breed Indian Chief, Weatherford, presented himself for
surrender. John received him with the
courtesy and dignity befitting a chief, and conducted him to General Jackson's
headquarters where the treaty was signed.
He served 4 1/2 months at that time but later in November of 1814,
entered the service again and was with General Andrew Jackson at the Battle of
New Orleans, January 8, 1815. In
1853, John filed for and received pension for his services.
He was owner and
operator of an Iron Ore Forge and a large ore mining operation in the counties of Johnson and Carter. He owned about 5000 acres of land.
He was one of the
earliest doctors in Carter County.
When Mary gave birth to George and Julius, twins, and both died a few
months later, he was so devastated that he decided that in order to prevent
such an occurrence in his family again, he would study medicine.
In thier declining
years, John and Mary lived with their youngest child, Mildred.

Notes for ABEL DUGGER:
CRANBERRY ORE BANK.
"The Cranberry Ore Bank in Mitchell [now Avery] is pronounced by Professor
Kerr 'one of the most remarkable iron deposits in America.' Its location is on
the western slope of Iron mountain, in the northwest part of county, about three
miles from the Tennessee line. It takes the name Cranberry from the creek which
flows near the outcrop at the foot of the mountain. The surrounding and;
associated rocks are gneisses and gneissoids, hornblende, slate and syenite.
The ore is a pure, massive and coarse granular magnetite. The steep slope of
the mountain and ridges, which the bed occupies, are covered with blocks of
ore, some weighing hundreds of pounds, and at places bare, vertical walls of
massive ore, 10 to 15 feet thick, are exposed, and over several acres the solid
ore is found everywhere near the surface. The length of the outcrop is 1,500
feet, and the width 200 to 800 feet" (State Geological Report). It was
worked in the 1820's by the Dugger family. (See Chapter XVI, "Notable
Cases and Decisions," section headed "Carter v. Hoke.")
The Duggers owned the
first iron works of Tennessee (known as Dugger's forge), This forge stood about 700 feet east of the
present Carter county. On December 18, 1795 Julius Dugger
bought the land for seventy pounds, "current money of
Virginia," (Deed Book A, p.178), 88 3/4 acres on the south side of Watauga
river, and in May, 1802, John Asher sold Julius Dugger 45 additional acres.
(Deed Book C, p.421). On November 20,
1822, John Asher sold William Dugger
(Deed Book C, p.577) one-fourth of all the land on Watauga river,
"including the Forge,"
including the iron works ,four miles above Butler, Tenn., on the north
side of Watauga river. (Note: Joshua Perkins and a man named Asher built
what was afterwards known as the Dugger mine, on the right bank of the Watauga
in what is now Johnson county, Tenn., and four miles above Butler. Perkins and Asher sold this forge to Julius,
William, Able and John Dugger, and then went to Cranberry and built the forge
there. These Dugger brothers were the sons of Julius Dugger who owned a farm on
the right bank of the Watauga, opposite Fish Springs; and soon took charge of
the forge Perkins had built at Cranberry. )

raised many of the neighborhood boys.
She is mentioned in David Morley's Pension file ( pierce tree # 314 and
James B. Pierce's Pension file, #
67.) We find her in the following
book History of the 13th Regiment of
Tennessee Voils"By Scott & Angel
" The union men had been
driven into the mountains near Fish Springs.
A great deal of rain had fallen, which had raised the waters very high,
rendering it useless to start with a company to Kentucky. They could not cross the intermediate
rivers. James Taylor ( a Federal
recruiting officer who had been captured and escaped from prison) , James
Tatum, Alfred Kite, Alexander Dugger, and David Shuffield agreed to hike through to Kentucky. They were traveling together in a small
group when the Polke's Regiment and some of the Johnson County home guard discovered
them. They were on one side of the
Watauga River and the Rebels were on the other.
When the rebels first saw these men, they at once dashed across the
river on their horses and surrounded them on a small ridge. When the rebels first fired, James Taylor
surrendered. The rebels continued to
shoot at him while he begged them to treat him as a prisoner. One of the rebels ran up and silenced him by
shooting the top of his head off with a musket.
They then took from his mangled body, a very fine watch and a
considerable amount of money. Tatum was
killed nearly at the same time as Taylor.
Tatum was first wounded in the shoulder, then killed. The other three men ran some distance while
the rebels were shooting at them. But at
length they surrendered and commenced begging for mercy. These prisoners were dragged to a bending
sapling to be hung. Two of them begged
for a short time to pray, but that was not allowed. The other prisoner had been severely wounded
at the beginning of the bloody affray and was not able to talk while the three
were beaten with guns and suspended by their necks and hung. Captain Roby Brown, a citizen of Johnson
County was a homeguard and was said to have a complete frolic around them while
they were struggling. He knocked them
with his gun and would dance up to them and turn them around violently, telling
them to face Thier partner and dance. He
would say to them that he did not like to be with any person that would not
face him. While the three union soldiers
had "tongues that were black as ink protruding out of their mouths and
their eyes bursting from their sockets".
It is said some worthless weapons were found on some of them but it is
not know that they made any attempt to use them.It is also said that Samuel Tatum,
when shot, fell and remained perfectly still, feigning death, and that he was
left for dead but finally recovered from his wound and was known as the
"dead Yankee"
It is
said that Alexander Dugger, one of the men who was hanged, was related to and
had been raised by Mrs. Margaret Dugger, who owned the farm on which
the killing and hanging were done. She
was an highly respected lady and was a landowner and slave-holder. She was noted for her kind and charitable
disposition and was loved and respected by all who knew her.
At the
time of the tragedy, Margaret was very old and was known as "aunt
Peggy" Dugger. She was greatly
attached to her Foster son Alex. When
the soldiers got everything in readiness to hang him one of them rode down to
her house only a short distance away and invited her "to come and see her
Lincolnite son hanged"" Alex
(1831-January 23, 1863) was the grandson of
Peggy's brother John Sr..

32. Mary Ann Sabra4
Dugger (William C.3,
William "Julius Sr. "2, Daniel1)
was born 1818 in Carter County, TN, and died October 1896 in Vermillion County,
IN.
Notes for Mary Ann
Sabra Dugger:
It seems Mary Ann Sabra Dugger was never
married, but had several children, some of them perhaps by James Morgan (but
that is unproven).
She was named in her
father William Dugger's Will of 1839 as "my daughter Sabra Morgan",
this has lead many to believe she was married to a Mr. Morgan. James Morgan was
a witness the Will of William Dugger, so he seemed a likely candidate for her
husband. However, the 1850 census shows her as "Maryann S. Dugger"
living with her mother and sisters, and her children. All later records give
her name as "Dugger", and her children all had the "Dugger"
surname.
Newspaper Article by
Dorothy Clark states that Benjamin Tarleton Dugger came to Indiana with his
sister Mrs. James Morgan.
Mary Ann Sabra Dugger
had a child born ca 1836, and another in 1842, another in 1844, another ca
1846, another in 1854, another ca 1859.

Indiana History and Families page 52:
Tradition has it that the grave site of Antoinette Stover in Helt's
Prairie Cemetery, is that of the great-grandmother of the 34th President of the
United States, Dwight David Eisenhower.
While in office as
President, it is reported that he flew to Indianapolis and came by car to visit
the grave site.
Antoinette Stover
resided in Carter County, TN and came to Indiana, Vermillion County, to visit
her daughter and son-in-law James and Margaret Dugger, who shortly after the
Civil War had come to the Tennessee Valley in Indiana to live, and at this time
had a baby girl, Daisy, who later became Mrs. Daisy Randall.
In caring for the baby,
Mrs. Stover and her daughter, Margaret, both came down the "grippe"
(flu) hence both of the women died, and therefore Mrs. Stover was buried
here.
Daisy was cared for by
Miss Flora Houghland, who later married Ulysses M. Helt, the parents of Joe
Helt. Mrs. Stover was born August 10,
1810 and died january 7, 1884.
Article: Eisenhower Ancestor Buried at Helt's Prarie
by Dorothy Clark, - "Jacob Stover, founder of the pioneer line from which
Daniel Stover, President Eisenhowers great grandfather, descended was a
colorful character. He was the first man
to cross the Blue Ridge Mountains and he held crown grants running into
hundreds of thousands of acres of land in Virginia, Tennessee and North
Carolina. One of his grants extended
from Front Royal and Petersburg west to th Mississippi River.
Jacob Stover made several
trips to England and appeared before Parliament in the interest of his grant
which he had received with one stipulation- that he have a certain number of
colonists settled by a certain date. He
recruited settlers in Switzerland and the Palatinate. A contingent was on its way but time was
short and the deadline approached.
Whether guilty or not, he was accused of giving his animals names as
colonists to fill his required quota.
When Jacob Stover died, arount 1730, his land reverted to the crown, but
his son, Jacob Stover Jr, along with several other pioneers including Daniel
Boone, Jean Xaxier and Julius Dugger, moved on to the frontiers of North
Carolina.
Daniel and Antoinette
Stover were residents of Carter County, TN and the reason she happened to
buried in Vermillion County, Indiana was that she died while visiting her
daughter, Margaret and her husband James A. Dugger. Mr and Mrs Dugger, the parents of Mrs Charles
M. Thomas of Clinton, came to Vermillion County sometime after the Civil
War.
Apparently Antoinette
Stover had been rearing her granddaughter, Ida Elizabeth Stover, who was to
become the president's mother, because at the time of her death the family
records show that " Ida was to live with people of the same name" the
Stovers of Strassburg, Virginia."

William Shoun and Jane Brown's son: Vespasian "Vester" Pleasant5
Shoun has an interesting story. Vester
was born July 18, 1837 in Johnson County, TN, and died 1926 in Rapid City, SD. At eighteen years of age he left Tennessee
and went to Montgomery county, Missouri.
He was employed at manufacturing
rails and in railroad work. He then started on foot to California, driving a
bull team, and was nine months in making the trip from Springfield, Missouri,
to Sacramento. The trip was uneventful until the party and their 900 head of cattle reached Humboldt river in
what is now Nevada, where they had a skirmish with the Indians in which they
lost a few of their cattle, but escaped without loss of human life. Soon Vester decided to try mining. On April 5, 1875, he started for the Black Hills
with a large party comprising one hundred and seventy-six men and two women who
outfitted at Sioux City to go into the Black Hills. This was known as the John
B. Gordon expedition. They crossed the
Missouri at Sioux City on April 5th, and when they were close to the present town
of Gordon, they were taken prisoners by United States troops who burned all
their wagons and supplies and escorted the entire party as prisoners to Fort
Randall on the Missouri. There, giving them three days' rations of flour,
coffee, and beans, the commander at the fort started them east with orders to
never come on the reservation again.
Vester returned the next day and organized another expedition to proceed
to the Black Hills. They left Harney
Peak on the 25th of October, 1875. They traveled at night to avoid the soldiers
and Indians. He then engaged in mining, opening mines on Castle Creek, but the
venture wasn't profitable. The sixteen men of the party reached Deadwood in
December, 1875. He engaged in placer
mining. He continued there until 1876,
when he sold his mines and moved to South Dakota and became the owner of a very prosperous ranch.
He had been a frontiersman from 1855 and had heard the whoop of many an
Indian on the warpath. He says that a hat would not hold the lead which has
been shot at him, but he was very fortunate in escaping wounds. He was in
Deadwood when Henry Weston Smith was killed, also when Wild Bill was killed,
and in fact he was one of the first white men who ever set foot in Deadwood. He
cut the first tree where Lead City now stands and there are few phases of
pioneer life with which he was not familiar. In 1857, he participated in an
Indian fight on the Humboldt in Nevada.
For one year he acted as wagon master for General Custer. He and Custer remained close friends until
Custer's death. Also, Vester was an expert marksman. Source:

Vester
Notes for Solomon
Sampson Shoun:
Solomon was educated to
be a lawyer. He went to California in
1850 with his brother, Vester. They
followed mining camps for several years in Oregon, Nevada, and Montana. During the 1860's, when the U.P.R.R. was
building, Solomon and his brother Vester began a freight company to furnish
deer, buffalo and antelope meat to the
construction crews.
In 1874, gold was
discovered at Deadwood, South Dakota.
The Federal Government tried to keep the whites out of Deadwood on
account of the Indians. The Government
captured "Gordan' Expedition"
Including Solomon and Vester, and
burned thier equipment.
In the Fall of 1874,
Solomon, Vester and 5 other men organized a pack outfit and returned to the
Black Hills. They traveled by night to
avoid the Indians and soldiers. They
spent part of the Winter at Harney Peak (about 36 miles, in a direct line,
south of Deadwood). When they could get through the snow, they went to
Deadwood. They arrived early in the
spring of 1875. Vester helped organize
the town of Deadwood. At that time only
ten claims were staked out. Vester had claim #11 and Solomon had
#12. Later they sold the claims for
$7000. each. They bought oxen and wagons
and started freighting form Ft. Pierre to Deadwood. In 1884, they sold their freighting business
and started ranching.
Vester had a ranch,
trading post, and post office at
Viewfield, Meade County.
Solomon also had a
ranch, trading post and post office called Central Station at Grindstone (
half-way between Pierre and Rapid City)
In 1892, the Sioux
Indians went on the warpath and set prairie fires. The former leader Sitting Bull had been
killed in 1890 resisting arrest for complicity in the Messiah Craze. As a result of the fires many stockmen lost
entire herds
Solomon lost most of his herd. Later some stockmen were reimbursed by the
Government but Solomon was not. During
the Indian uprising entire families fled by night to Pierre for safety. Solomon's wife went to Granite Falls, NC to
visit relatives. Their son Pleasant
"Ped" was born there.
Solomon married
Cornelia Kiser on March 15, 1883 in Johnson County. Her father was Phillip M. Kiser and had a
furniture store in Mountain City.
Cornelia had taught school in Johnson County.
Cornelia died in 1896,
and Solomon died in 1897. Their 3
children went to live with relatives. (Emily, Phillip and Pleasant)
Emily lived with her
uncle John H. Shoun in Johnson County. In 1898,
Emily lived in Wheeler County, Oregon then she moved to Richmond, Va to
live with her fathers cousin Isaac F. Shoun.
Vester took the two boys, Willie and Ped.
Vester was a widower and had no children, so Lizzie M. Donnelly ( Cornelia's
cousin) went to take care of the boys and the home for Vester . She stayed with them from 1896 to 1898.

**Many
of the Pierce descendants are still living in Carter and Johnson County and I
have tried to contact each family to verify and collect additional
information. Many of the branches knew
limited amounts on the family or gave the information from memory; others were quite
knowlegable. The errors, if and where
they occurred were not intentional. I
hope you will be charitable and realize that
I have done the best I could.
Special thanks to Alice Smith,
