Does anyone know the exact location of where the Crockett hotel was located in Hillsville during the 1850's?

I had no idea that Thomas Gardner would have had a daughter that had lived until this week and am sorry to hear of her death. Thomas Gardner and my Great Grandfather Edward Rice Wall served during the Civil War together. Thomas signed Edward's pension application on the Oath of Resident Witness form, Sept. 24, 1910, stating that they had known each other for forty years in Carroll County Virginia. There is a notation at the top of the form. It is extremely difficult to read, but it either states that "He signed up infantry with me." or "He signed up Wytheco with me." I think it is the first, but can not be sure. Thomas and Edward were boys that I am sure became men far too quickly as Edward was only 13 or 14 and Thomas could not have been much older. The Gardner family has my condolences. Deronda Spiller

Let me add my thanks for publication of the sad news of this passing. I remember her well from back in the '50's when I was a boy. Mildred Emily Webb was the first wife of Thomas Gardner and she died 18DEC1878. Flora's mother was Elizabeth Banks (1858-1938) and she was married 27MAY1880 in Carroll. Her parents were Isaac Banks and Lucinda Webb. Thomas, though a bit young to have served in the war, was a drummer boy. Perhaps you will recall the drum in the Carroll News that was located and purchased by the Historical Society so it could be returned to Carroll. Andrew Washington Gardner, father of Thomas, was another unfortunate victim of the Carroll Home Guard. (most likely the Combs brothers, Church and Berry).

Horton, former resident of Hillsville, Virginia, and author of A Courageous Woman, will be in the Carroll County Museum (the old Post Office building on Main Street) to autograph her book for those who have already purchased a copy, and should like it autographed. She will have available a few copies for purchase, $21.95, saving purchaser shipping cost. Ruthie is the daughter of Joseph V. Horton and Laura A. Quesenberry. Her memoirs cover 84 years from her childhood in Carroll County, Virginia, her teenage years assisting her sister Mae Horton Branscome run a boarding house in Caretta, West Virginia, her graduation from Woodlawn High School, her training as a nurse, her marriage and move to Grundy, Virginia, her difficult decision to move to Baltimore, Maryland, during the war years. In Baltimore, she managed a doctor’s office for many years, raised her daughter, and eventually became a successful real estate agent. Her book is available from Infinity Publishing, 519 Lancaster Ave., Haverford, PA19041-1413, by calling toll free 877-289-2665, or on the internet at <A HREF="http://www.buybooksontheweb.com/">www.buybooksontheweb.com</A>.

Henry was alive as late as 1898 when the roster of surviving Confederates was taken. He turns up again on the 1909 Pension List, however, he is not listed in 1911 so (unless he got rich) he likely died sometime in there. I'm fairly certain he died in Carroll as I have a note written by my g-grandfather that he attended his funeral. His marker, unfortunately, being a confederate marker, does not reflect his vital statistics. I did not find that his widow remarried in Carroll. (She had previously been married to Aaron Floyd Goad.) I do know she and Henry had at least one child, a daughter named Luler F., born in 1891.
