I am not exactaly sure where my father,
Ernest Milton Knuckles, was born but
believe it to be in Virginia. He was
born in 1907 on Sept. 2nd. He passed away
in Richmond in the mid 80's. His SS# is
223-05-2271. I was born in Martinsville,
Virginia on June 14,1935. Have heard
that his mother was
born in West Virginia.
I hope this is of some help to you.
Please feel free to email me directly, if
you would like. patclark@myhome.net
He has a son, Wayne Knuckles, in the
Richmond area, I believe. He also has
a second wife, Ruby Knuckles, in Doswell,
Virginia. She is getting on in years,
so you should hurry, if you plan on
contacting her.

Here is what I have all the way to me:

Obadiah Knuckles or Nuckols (My GGGGreat Grandfather) (Virginia records spelled his name Obediah Nuchols) and Elizabeth Willis were married Feb. 3, 1801 in Goochland, VA.)


After Obadiah Nuckols' first wife died (Elizabeth Willis, they had just two children: Robert and William), he then married a Brittian, who (from a previous marriage(s)) was the mother of "Uncle" Bill Nuckols. She and Obadiah had just one child - "Aunt" Sally Nuckols (more in next paragraph). In the following list are the names of Obadiah's stepchildren: (1) Carlo Helton; (2) Ephriam Helton; (3) William Helton (he took the Nuckols name and was called 'Uncle" Bill Nuckols); (4) Solomon Collins (later called Sol Nuckols); (5) Elizabeth Helton (she married Sol Nuckols). Elizabeth and Sol are the parents of Adkin Nuckols. Adkin had two sons: Ray and Floyd; and (6) Lucy Helton.
Now I would like to give remembrances of "Aunt" Sally Nuckols who was the last of Obadiah Nuckols children. She was a half-sister of "Uncle" Bill Nuckols. Her mother was a Brittian, as Bell County High Sheriff Jim Helton told me. Jim Helton was a son of Jonas Helton, who was a son of Carlo Helton and Elizabeth Farmer, (a daughter of Captain Jim Farmer and Susie Skidmore). Carlo Helton was a half-brother to "Uncle" Bill Nuckols. Morgan Helton (son of Carlo Helton) told me "Uncle" Bill Nuckols' Dad was Arnold Helton. "Uncle" Bill Nuckols had the first store and the first post office on Red Bird, in the headwaters of Red Bird. His great-grandson was Grover Knuckles (born April 7, 1923 - died January 7, 1994), who lived in Blanchester, Ohio. I never saw Grover Knuckles, but he wrote to me and told me "Uncle" Bill Nuckols first called the new post office Red Bird, Kentucky. Later "Uncle" Bill Nuckols changed the post office name to Beverly, Kentucky.


"Uncle Bill' (William Richard) Nuckols (My GGGreat Grandfather) (born March 10, 1841 Little Sycamore Creek, Claiborne Co. TN - died Sept. 2, 1910 Bell Co KY buried Knuckles Cem., Beverly, Bell Co KY) was a Veteran of the Civil War, a Union Soldier. He came back from the war and courted and married on April 14, 1865 (same day President Lincoln was assassinated) Amanda Jane Asher ("Mandy Jane") born Oct 29, 1845 - died Jan. 28, 1890 (a daughter of Wilkerson Asher and Lucinda Bingham). I believe "Uncle" Bill Nuckols (the stepson of Obadiah Nuckols) changed the spelling of the name "Nuckols" to "Knuckles".

George Matt Knuckles (My Great Great Grandfather) (George) born Dec 31, 1867 Red Bird (Beverly) Bell Co KY - died May 29, 1960 in Beverly, Bell Co. KY. buried in Pineville, Bell Co. KY Memorial Cemetery. m(l) 1891 in Bell Co KY.(divorced) Deborah Neal born Feb 1870 Clay Co. KY - died Feb 4, 1940 Red Bird, Bell Co. KY. (daughter of Hiram W. Neal and China Asher). m(2) Jan 14 1894 Jeff, Perry Co KY, Elizabeth (Liza or Lizie) Combs born Jan 25, 1877 Jeff, Perry Co. KY - d Oct. 28 1970 Bell Co KY, buried Pineville Cem. Their children were: (a) Amanda Jane (1894-1970); (b) William Clinton (L & N Railroad man, 1897-1984); (,c) William Letcher (school principal, 1899-1974); (d) Mason ( schooled and died in Iowa, 1900-1977); (e) Richmond (1902-before 1970); (f) Lonanna (.1906-1987) (g) Denver (state representative, 1908-1988); (h) Sampson (one time judge of Knox Co. 1909-1983)-, (i) Mauhee Beuhlah (1911-1991);(j) Juanita (1916-); (k) Vernon (1918-)

Without putting dates of birth and places of where they lived or were born, it is impossible to help you find your connection. I dont know if you are looking for these names in 1700, 1800, 1900, or 2000. There are hundreds of common names over the years. You may want to check our Worldwide Nuckolls Society Web Site
