Dear Barbara,
Thank you so much. James Feaster Rice was my grandfather, Effie was my great grand mother, and Feaster was my great grand father. I only have two pictures of my grandfather that my mother wanted me to have. In one he is wearing his dress service uniform but I can't tell his rank. Like I said in the message board earlier I know very little about that side of the family other than what has been passed to me second hand. As I stated earlier any information would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks in advance.

DrMom68 — 2013-04-27 11:46:16Z

Do you have dates for your grandfather? In the Jackson County (NC)Genealogical Society's publication The Cemeteries of Jackson County, there is a gravestone in the Pleasant Grove Cemetery (a cemetery in the Cashiers area) for James Feaster Rice (31 May 1915-28 Mar 1968) inscription "US Army, WWII". There is also a Feaster Rice (31 May 1884-21 Jan 1957) buried beside Effie Rice (12 Oct 1896-27 Nov 1977) inscription "his wife". Do you think either of these individuals might be your grandfather? There are also several other gravestones with the surname "Rice" at that cemetery. I don't mind looking up and listing other specific individuals (or all the Rice's) at that cemetery for you. (Rice is not an ancestor of mine, and I do not have any documented research relating to that family that I can readily send you.) Barbara

Rice's From Cashiers NC

robingilstrap — 2013-04-27 11:11:38Z

I am trying to find out more information on my grandfather James F. Rice from Cashiers NC and the rest of the Rice family. I vaguely remember my great grand mother Rice and visiting her when I was very young. My grandfather was married to my grandmother Ollie L Gibson from Cashiers. I know absolutely nothing about this side of my family and I would like to find out more about them. I did find my grandfathers draft card or enlistment record on here, I am not exactly sure which it is. I will have to do further research. I have been told all of my life that our side of the family has Cherokee blood but I have never pursued finding out very much about it. Anyway if anyone could help me out with some information and contacts I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Hendersons in WNC

shfrady1 — 2013-03-22 23:40:31Z

Hi,

I'm looking for Henry Henderson,born in NC or SC around 1784, lived in Greenville, SC in 1830 and Haywood County, NC until after 1860. His wife was Susan, born about the same time. His son, Thomas, married Elizabeth Cook in 1843.

I think Henry may be Archibald Henry Henderson. His information matches up pretty well with my Henry Henderson, including the names of some of his children.

Oddly enough, there seem to have been multiple Archibald Hendersons in the WNC mountains around that time. One lived in Cullowhee, NC. The other lived in Haywood County, NC. I don't know if they are related. I just want to make sure I'm tracing the right line (there were a LOT of Henry Hendersons in the area at that time it turns out). Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Stephanie

Re: Ancestry of William Shelton

oneshelton — 2013-03-08 06:09:47Z

I think this is the site address for the Shelton, Chilton, Skelton and Sheldon DNA test database. If you do not reach it using this address, let me and I will get the correct address from the project administration and post it to you.

tinasgenealogy/dna.html

Note the the test designated is from the a descendant of Ralph Shelton of Middlesex and the test designated SH-12 is from the line designated Peter Shelton. The two tests do not match. There are close to a hundred tests from the line of Ralph of Middlesex and I am not sure of the number from the line of Peter.

These DNA tests were done by the Family Tree DNA Laboratory which was, I think, the earliest genealogy DNA testing lab around.

My ggf William Shook is a brother to your John. I have searched for over 30 yrs. for their parents and have not been able to find anything.

My name is Janie Shook Turner.

Re: Falls Cliff Cemetery around Cullowee

wfdarnell — 2013-01-04 15:55:14Z

That is them, I have searched for where they were buried for so long. I thought it was the Bumgarner cemetery. I had decided that they probably didn't have stones. I have been to the Norton Cemetery in Whiteside cove and knew about their daughter there. I did not know about their son Charles Holden that is buried by them.
The irony of this is, my husband and I were in Jackson County last week visiting gravesites and we drove right by Bumgarner-Fall Cliff Cemetery. Oh well, I know now.
Thanks for your help. Wanda Darnell

Re: Falls Cliff Cemetery around Cullowee

DrMom68 — 2013-01-04 02:21:11Z

Wanda, John and Arminda Holden are listed in the JCGS Cemetery book in the "Bumgarner-Fall Cliff Cemetery" on Wilson Creek Road (the Cullowhee Mountain Road). John's dates are listed as 21 Aug 1830-5 Nov 1907. Arminda's dates are 3 Nov 1836-24 Jan 1908. These two graves are side by side. Beside the gravesite of Arminda Holden is the gravesite of Charles C. Holden with a death date 22 Dec 1898 and the inscription "age 17yrs.8mo.28da.; s/o Jno., Arminda Holden."
Also listed in the Jackson County Cemetery book in the Norton Family Cemetery on Whiteside Cove Road in Cashiers, NC is the gravesite of "Phielender Holden, 2 Nov 1855-1 Oct 1869" with the inscription "d/o John, Arminda Holden."

I hope this is helpful. Barbara Shelton Smith

Many Thanks

Re: trying to locate ancesters

woodyhome1 — 2012-09-05 13:11:15Z

Well for anyone reading this later, I have confirmed my suspicions. As noted on: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&d...

Napoleon Bonepart Hooper married Rebecca F Roberts and had a daughter named Isadora Hooper. In turn Isadora Hooper married John Henry Radford and they had a son named Napoleon Bonepart Radford.

That was just one reference, for there are many others.

Re: trying to locate ancesters

woodyhome1 — 2012-09-04 21:17:55Z

Of course its entirely possible that the Nim P Hooper was a miscalculation when someone was trying to read the handwriting and it does in fact mean "Napoleon B Hooper" which would explain why Isadora Hooper married John Henry Radford and named one of their sons "Napoleon Bonepart Radford"

Re: trying to locate ancesters

woodyhome1 — 2012-09-04 21:14:18Z

Hello,

Don't know if you are still trying to follow this after 13 years, but thought I would try.

I am following Isadora Hooper (my lineage) and many records indicate that her parents are Nim P Hooper and Rebecca Roberts Morrow. Do you have the same information? Or do you have evidence that indicates that this Napoleon B Hooper was in fact their father?

Thanks!

I visited the Bumgarner Cemetery last fall. Like I said in first post Wilburn Nations was my Grandfather, but I just met him one time. He was married to Zelia Davis then.

He was from Whittier, NC, and son of Andrew Thaddeus and Sarah Arminda Keener Patton, husband of Hazel E. Patton. He was inducted Dec. 2, 1942, and trained at Camp Bradford, Norfolk, VA. Served in Pacific Theatre, and Hawaii and Guam with Seabees. Discharged Sept. 20, 1945. He was born October 10, 1907 and died Jan. 12, 1996 in Whittier, Jackson Co. NC. I also have a poor quality photo of him in his navy uniform. I am looking for a copy of his obituary, but have not found one.

Mary Ammons wife of James Ervin Nations

wfdarnell — 2012-03-27 23:55:42Z

Mary would be my GGrandmother, I am having trouble finding her folks. There seeems to be some confusion on her name. On her Son's Death Certificate her name is Mary Ammons. On her Daughter's Death Certificat her name is listed as Mary Ambern. I have seen her maiden name listed as Ammons, Ambross, Ambern, and Amburn on different trees. Her tombstone does not help as it say Mary A., wife of Ervin Nations. They are both buried in Bumgarder Cemetery in Jackson County. According to the Census' 1880 threw 1930 they lived on Barkers Creek. Her Children were: Amanda, Callie (married a Key), Fannie(Married a Key),Claude, Walter, Grady, Harley and Wilburn Nations. Wilburn was my Grandfather.
Husband James Ervin Nation dates are B. 1855, D. 1921.
Any help on Mary's Family would be appreciated.

John,
Have you completed your book?

Re: RABY OR BRADBURN

rabyj — 2012-03-23 14:25:36Z

thank you for your reply.
This shows the children starting with the second oldest daughter, Leekie, being 17 in 1900. Lilly would have been 20 and married to John B. Raby (m.11-8-1896 at Qualla Ts.) and she is not listed in her parents' household.

I've found John and Laura married in the 1880 census in their own household. But no children. We have Lillie born 7DEC1880. I'm guessing that the census was done prior to winter.

I really need some 'proof' that she was John and Laura's daughter.

There's so little of the 1890 census and no Bradburns in NC are listed.
