Connor Camp, # 849, Sons of Confederate Veterans proudly dedicates a monument to the memory of the "600 Fallen Soldiers" from Catawba County who died during the War between the States. As with most SCV camps, we have assumed to responsibility of remembering those spilled their blood for the War of Southern Independence. Regardless of any political or philosophical views, they died for their country and Hi folks, After a long and difficult effort, the Charles F. Connor Camp 849, Sons of Confederate Veterans will finally be able to dedicate a monument to the memory of the "600 Fallen Soldiers" from Catawba who died in the War between the States. As with most SCV camps, we have assumed to responsibility of remembering those spilled their blood for the War of Southern Independence. Regardless of any political or philosophical views, they died for the country and citizens who saw them off to war. On August 18th, 2005, the Fallen 600 will be remembered by name for their ultimate sacrifice. During the Old Soldier's Reunion, a week set aside in Catawba County, each year, these soldiers will finally be remembered. This year, on August 18th, at 10:00 AM, a plaque honoring those brave soldiers, will be dedicated. one out of three who went off to battle and never returned home, will finally be recognized by name. In addition, we will be honoring those who died in the Mexican War (1846-1848), the Spanish-American War (1898) and the current Middle-East conflicts (1983-present).+ The CF Connor Camp is proud to have been able to play a part in sponsoring a permanent remembrance of these brave men. We urge each and every citizen of the Western North Carolina to attend this dedication ceremony. Catawba County government officials have helped make this ceremony possible for their participation and support. We seek not to glorify war as it is the antithesis of peace. No soldier who served their country has any desire to return to the battlefield. Without a strong nation and without strong leaders, we are doomed to repeat the futility of war.

General Stephen Dill Lee, when he announced at the formation meeting of the Sons of Confederate Veterans: "To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we will commit the vindication of the Cause for which we fought. To your strength will be given the defense of the Confederate soldier's good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles which he loved and which you love also, and those ideals which made him glorious and which you also cherish. Remember, it is your duty to see that the true history of the South is presented to future generations." Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, Commander-General, United Confederate Veterans, New Orleans, 25 April 1906Finally, the "Fallen 600" will be remembered by name for their ultimate sacrifices.

    1. Susan(nah) Abernathy, born abt. 1800, wife of John Fish, Catawba County, NC
    2. Greg Little
    3. I’m looking for any information on Susan(nah) Abernathy, born abt. 1800, who married John Fish, the son of William Fish and Juda Asher on October 15, 1815 in then Lincoln now Catawba County, NC. Her children were: Sydney, born 1829, Elizabeth, born 1833, Emily , born 1835, Henry, born 1837, and Elkanah, born 1843. Both Henry and Elkanah were in the 32nd Infantry Regiment NC during the Civil War. Another suspected daughter is Margaret C. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    1. Margaret C. Fish, daughter of John Fish and Susan Abernathy (?)
    2. Greg Little
    3. If anyone could help me with this Margaret C. I'd appreciate it. She is thought to be the daughter of John Fish (1789-1864) and Susan Abernathy (1801 - ?). The information I have is as follows: Margaret C. (as is given on her marriage bond) married Newton Jasper Mayhew, the son of William and Anna Mayhew. Newton Jasper was a cousin of Moses Mayhew, who married Rebecca Fish, Briant Fish’s daughter. Wilburn Fish, the oldest son of John, and bondsman at Newton Jasper and Margaret C’s wedding, married Margaret E. Mayhew. Obviously the Fish and Mayhew families got along pretty well; maybe too well for Margaret C’s good. Margaret C. is not in the 1850 Census but there is a suspicious four year gap between Sydney and Eliza, where there was, as usual, only a two-year gap between the first children. Margaret C. would have been the first-born daughter. If you look at the 1860 Census for Iredell County, NC, Margaret C. and Newton have a daughter, Mary, who is 9 years old. The census was taken on 28 June 1860. Margaret C. and Newton were married in Catawba County on 7 June 1851. If Mary’s age is correct, Margaret C. was pregnant with Mary when she married, perhaps “great with child.” Also, Margaret C. is not mentioned in Susannah Abernathy Fish’s last will. You see where I’m going. Based on this evidence, I believe that Margaret C. was disowned by her family because of Mary. I know that Margaret C.’s last child, Martha Florida was not Newton’s child, because he had died of disease in the Civil War four years before her birth. Martha was also my great grandmother and her illegitimacy is common knowledge in my family. So the question is, was Margaret C. the daughter of John Fish? Thank you very much for your patience and any help.

In the History of J Theobold Hunsucker edit by Pauline Moser Shook it states on page 85 that John bought land in 1831 from Christian Earney and in 1838 he bought additional acres from his oldest brother Wilheim. Based on the 1830 and 1840 census records for the ONLY John Hunsucker in Lincoln Co he is not old enough to be my John and believe the John in 1830 & 1840 is the son of Wilheim. I have therefore concluded that Barbara has died after the 1820 census between 1820\1823 due to John's marriage date to Polly Sigman. Based on Elcanah's birthdate of 3 Jun 1826, John has died between 1826/1830. No where can I find Polly Sigman with any of the kids and were probably included in other household's until 1850 when Polly appears with Elcanah and the other kids are all married and gone. I have not examined deeds to determine what became of his property or Orphan court records for Elcanah. There should be some kind of land! records to show the heirs, but don't know if anyone has ever looked and I seem to be the prime researcher for direct line descent from John of the families that moved away. From what land information I have I know that John owned at least 88 acres of land on Lyle's Creek. In the 1830 census of daughter Sarah and Henry Bolch, there is what appears to be daughter Mary living with them, and she would have been only 16 yrs old. I still haven't determined where Davault, Elizabeth, and Lawson were in 1830. Davault would have been legal age of 23, but we have 4 minors who should probably be found in the orphan court records, Mary age 16, Lawson age 12, Elizabeth age 11, and Elcany age 4. Perhaps the children were with the Smith grandparents. Further follow up needs to be done for land records and orphan court records. 1830 Lincoln Co North Carolina pg 259 not mine - he's not old enough most likely son of Wilheim Hntsecker , John 1840 Upper Regiment, Lincoln, North Carolina Not mine - he's not old enough - most likely son of Wilheim pg 93 John Hunsicker age 30 40 001001 males 221001 females 1850 Catawba Co North Carolina household 252 pg 281b Polly Hunsucker 45 Catawba NC Cany 21 Theophlus M 12 (I don't think this is a child of John and Polly's, but is probably related somehow possibly through Polly or could have been an orphan, as Cany was known for taking in orphaned children and raising them.) household 253 Susannah Selzer 55 Catawba Mary Sigman 38 Catawba Here is where I will make my conclusion regarding the parentage of my Smith grandmother and her name. Susannah Hunsucker married at the age of 17 to Henry Hoke in 1829, probably after the death of both of her parents. Henry Hoke dies 1837 to 1840, leaving Susannah with 4 babies. She marries a 2nd time to Jacob Moser 1849 and moves to Alexander Co NC. All of the boys are living in different household's in 1850. Her youngest son John David Hoke is 12 yrs old and living with Frederick Smith and Angeline Sigman. It is my contention that Frederick Smith is Susannah's uncle and the brother of my Smith grandmother. Due to the early deaths of her and John they are not mentioned in the will of John Smith and all of the children are of legal age by the time John Smith dies in 1847 and John didn't feel the need to leave anything to the grandchildren for some reason, who knows why. John's father George Adam Smith has always resided on Lyle's Creek since 1765 and this Smith family is always living around the Hunsucker's and the Bolch families. George Adam Schmidt/Smith actually sold l! and in 1774 to Johann Adam Bolch as he lists it in his will written in 1794 from land patents of George Adam Schmidt. So these families became very intertwined through the early settlement of Mecklenburg, Tryon, and Lincoln Counties as they were divided off on Lyle's Creek, then eventually became Catawba Co. Now for my Smith grandmother's name. Susannah Hunsucker only had one daughter by Jacob Moser and she was named Barbara Ann Moser, which could most likely stem from her mother's name. Son Davault also had a daughter named Barbara, and I'm missing one daughter from Sarah and Henry Bolch's children, and she could have possibly been named Barbara as well. There also is a confirmation in the St. John's Lutheran Church records for 1804 for a Barbara Schmidt which would be about the right time frame for Barbara to be confirmed if she was born abt 1790, she would have been abt 14 yrs old and we know that John Smith who died 1847 is buried in St John's. Confirmation List St John's Lutheran Church, Lincoln Co North Carolina 18 Aug 1804 Barbara Schmit per Jerry Dagenhart, According to Mark Smith confirmations could have been from age 10-17 so the Barbara Smidt could have been Barbara Ann Smith.I will look at the index and see if there are any other schmidt references in the book. Holding The Cross High for 250 years is the Title of Mark Smith's book on old St Johns. The other commonality is that John Smith's wife was Catherine Mauser and she had a sister Elizabeth Mauser who married Johan Adam Bolch, parents of my Henry Bolch who married Sarah Hunsucker. This would make Henry and Sarah 1st cousins 1x removed which makes for a close knit family and not at all uncommon practice in those days. The name Anna Barbara was used by Catherine Smith and Frederick Hoke, Jr, was this in honor of her deceased sister? I therefore am naming my Smith grandmother, Barbara Anna based on this pure circumstantial evidence until I can try to find something more concrete. 1850 Catawba Co.
