Hi All, I don't know the dates, but do know that my Great Grandmother's brother was a Sheriff in New Castle. His name was Oscar Miller Martin. Oscar was b. on 12-3-1877, Craig Co., VA, to Thomas Benton "Bent" Martin and Mary Jane Elmore. Oscar died on 6-27-1912 in a Roanoke, VA hospital. He married Emma Harriet Craft on 12-24-1905 in Craig Co., and they are buried in the Westview Cem., in New Castle. Uncle Oscar was to arrest a Mr. Harve Looney one day. Mr. Looney didn't want to be arrested and decided that he wanted to shoot Uncle Oscar instead. Which he did, and Oscar died a few days later in the hospital. So, I know he was a Sheriff in 1912, but when he came to that position I do not know. Cindy Driscoll Roanoke, VA
