This is great! You have a site about the poorhouse! That is wonderful. I found records at the courthouse and typed them on the poorhouse! They ran about 1870 - 1956 I think. There is a copy at the courthouse. I have not published them because of the right to privacy act! That kind of record people don't want to see themselves in. It is embarrassing and I don't want to do that to anyone still living. My g-grandmother Virginia Tate Edwards Westmoreland died in the poorhouse in 1942 and the record told how many days she lived during that period before she died so I could prove the date of death!!! It was wonderful. Her daughter, Levalia also died there in 1953 and it show the same thing! Number of days in the period before she died. I was lucky because it did not tell this on everyone that died. I only listed the people there, number of days during that period (the superintendent had to submit a report once or twice a year to the court) and sometimes it told their problems and ages. There were also more things on the reports that I ignored. Like what was raised and who worked the land and what they sold and money they took in durning the year. Donna Edwards P. S.

There was also a poorhouse out on 58. Across the road and toward Laurel Fork from Webb's old store. Also close to the Alderman homeplace where Mr. John was raised. It may have been a private home caring for folk who needed care. Mr. John had told me of it, years ago.

Yes, the first poorhouse was in what was called "Fairview" which was down 58 past the new highschool just about where you turn off to go to Snake Creek Community. At one time there was a school (Fairview Academy) the Poorhouse, at least two stores (Jett's and Webb's) and a mill owned by Robert Wilkinson. At any given time there were up to about 15 residents who had come on hard times for one reason or another or who were "mentally defective" as they were referred to in those days. A lot of residents were simply old and senile and some were blind and unable to live by themselves. The poorhouse was actually a farm where inmates worked for their keep. Even the old did some small jobs. In 1860, Julia Hall Marshall (wife of Joseph ran it.) I believe it was established about 1855 and stayed there until the 1880's when it was moved to the last location at the junction of 77 and 58 between Hillsville and Woodlawn. I believe an Altizer was the last to run it before it before it shut down with the advent of the Welfare System. Although it was county supported, it was almost self-sufficient except for medical costs. Doctor Chester Nuckolls and Dr. Charles Burnett were two of the few who donated their services to the poor. There was a cemetery attached to the last one which had to be relocated with the building of 77. The self-sufficient spirit of the mountain people made it a terrible thing to have to go to the poorhouse. Usually relatives, churches or kind neighbors would provide enough of a living for the poor so they didn't have to go there. The poorhouse accepted all races also; in 1859, Peter and Rebecca Findley who were two free blacks who owned a farm north of Hillsville, lost the farm and had to go there where both died. Often whole families would go there and stay until their circumstances improved. In 1860, Elizabeth Harmon, whose husband, George, died suddenly had to go there for almost two years before she was able to get on her feet and rent a farm. In those days before social programs, the Poorhouse was certainly a very necessary evil. To learn more about poorhouses in general, go to http://www.poorhousestory.com/

The last Poorhouse was located in the old Health Department Building out at I-77 and Rt. 58. It last records I found in the courthouse was in the late 1950s. Once I saw a deed or some court records that referred to a poorhouse in the Snake Creek area but I can not remember where I saw it. And if I copied it I sure don't know where it is right now.

Hello Everyone. Looking for relatives of William Henry Mabe born September 12, 1876 in Virginia. Married Octavia Sizemore January 20, 1898. I know some of Octavia's family lived in Grayson County, Virginia and some in Carroll County, Virginia. Don't know if William's did. He was called Bill. Parents John Alexandria Mabe and Tabitha Hale. Siblings, James Zachery Mabe born March 1, 1879, Nancy J. Mabe born September 24, 1881, Joseph Peter Mabe born June 20, 1884, Ellen Mabe born 1885 married J. J. Robinson, Robert Alex Mabe born October 21, 1887, Floyd J. Mabe born August 7, 1890, Charles Miller Mabe born June 30, 1892, Dora Ellen Mabe born July 1895 married Phillip Elijah Edwards, Addie P. Mabe born June 28, 1898 married James Arthur Hoarsley. William Henry disappeared between 1907 and 1910 he ran off with Cary Sizemore his wife's uncles wife. They went to Illinois. Would like to know if they had any children together. Would appreciate any info. on him. Thanks inadvance Nancy.

William was indeed born in Wythe County and died in Carroll in 1853. I don't know his wife's last name, but she died in Carroll 28FEB1865. I only have records of four children, but I'm pretty certain there were more. The children: Angeline, born abt 1831, married Andrew J. Franklin 06FEB1854 in Carroll. James A., born about 1842, did not marry, but had two children by Eliza Reynolds. He died of pneumonia 05JAN1890 Susan Elizabeth, born abt 1843, married William Anderson Smythers 22FEB1866. She had at least 7 children, three of whom died before adulthood. Susan died of typhoid 20SEP1893 As you know, Henry married Margaret Fowler and moved to Bland. I assume he died there. best regards, Ron Hall "Rebecca Sowers" <bsowers@i-plus.net> on 01/16/2001 04:30:01 AM Please respond to "Rebecca Sowers" <bsowers@i-plus.net> To: VACARROL-L@rootsweb.com cc: (bcc: Ronald W.

Mike, Thanks a bunch for the compliments you gave my site, I made a link to your site with your picture, and text, 3rd page bottom I think. I uploaded thirteen thousand Individuals in a Gedcom file for anyone to down load to their program, Home page (top) I will be updating it Regularly ever week or so. I think these files should be made accessible to any of the cousins that are interested in starting a family tree, I think that is the way My Aunt Essie Goad, and others that did all the foot work, would have wanted it, I will be getting some files from Carrie Bodenstien in a few days so thanks Carrie. Mary Ann, I receive quite a few requests for a synopsis on the Suts. Could you type one up for me, and I will post it on the Home page. I could use some interesting stories about our ancestors that some of you may have stored away in those shoe boxes, and photographs as well, when you scan the photoes put a label on the picture near the bottom front, listing names Etc.. Steve I haven't received your material yet, still waiting!!! Mike, if you have any suggestions on making the site better, sure would appreciate it, you to Steve, Thanks (Phillip) http://pages.zdnet.com/hatchphil/sutphincousinsphotoalbum/

I recently discovered I'd overlooked two pages of the 1880 Carroll Co census, which were tucked in at the beginning of the Charles City pages. I've added a webpage http://www.rootsweb.com/~vacarrol/census/carr_87h.htm Which adds households 478-490 (overlooked census sheets 136-1 & 136-2) with surnames: Anderson, Brown, Carpenter, Carson, Chaffin, Crocket, Dawson, Hall, Hanby, Harmon, Johnson, Mitchell, Petta, Porter, Smith, Tipton, Vaughan, Whittington, Wiley.

I hope you have all been enjoying the Holidays and that each of you will have a wonderful new year. I've been absent from my duties with the Archives pages for a while and I just wanted to let you all know that I have not forgotten about them. I worked on them as hard as I could the first part of November, knowing that might be the last chance I'd get in a while, and it turned out to be true. So now my plan is to do my best to see to it that I get things caught up as soon as possible. During my trip back home over the Thanksgiving Holidays, I was able to visit some graveyards, and so have some new files to upload of my own as well. That's always exciting! My apologies to you all for the delay; as always your patience is highly appreciated. Thanks so much! Jeannie PS. For those of you who've written to me regarding my books, give me a bit more time to get back to you on those. Thank you so much for your interest and just as soon as I can get these archives straigtened out, I will be happy to answer all of your questions to the best of my ability. Thanks again, J Happy Holidays from the Watts' Family: Jeannie, Richard, Samantha, Jennifer and all our critters!!! ************* Now Available: "The Descendants of John Thomas Clay, Jamestown Immigrant and son of Sir John Clay of Wales" Also available: "The Descendants of James Bailey & Lucy Simms" For more info: http://www.trellis.net/users/madamx

The 1910 census of Rowan County Kentucky lists several QUESENBERRY and DALTON families who had recently moved from Virginia (even the babies were listed as born in Virginia.)
