Barb, I found a trout stocking map and it appears that Shooting Creek starts in the southwest corner of Franklin Co and then goes into Patrick Co to eventually join the Smith River up above Philpott Reservoir. http://www.dgif.state.va.us/fishing/TroutGuide/area_map_3.pdf David

So she would have lived in Patrick Co. around 1900 if she lived in Shooting Creek Va.???

Has anyone on this list ever heard of NERVIA RAKES living about 1900 in SHOOTING CREEK, VA.??? Isn't Shooting Creek in Patrick, Franklin and Floyd - any where else?? Thanks, Barb S.

While researching my Harris roots in Patrick County I became aware of a Revolutionary War veteran named James Harris, and also a free African-American named James Harris. Recently I looked at the Revolutionary War pension application and realized that these were one and the same person. The story is unusual enough to be of general interest, and it might also help descendants still in the area. James Harris applied for a pension as a Revolutionary War veteran in the Patrick County court on 2 Feb 1835, giving his age as 87 on the previous 14th of January. He stated that he was born in Dinwiddie County VA in 1748 and was drafted into service while living in Orange County as a free Negro. During the war he worked primarily in the construction of earthworks in Charleston SC, Augusta GA, and in Florida. (In the South Blacks were seldom issued arms for fear of a slave uprising.) James Harris further stated that he was present at Gates’s Defeat. (This battle near Camden SC on 16 Aug 1780 was the worst Patriot military defeat of the war. The blame is usually assigned to Gen. Horatio Gates, who did not adequately provision his troops, and who placed untried Virginia militiamen opposite seasoned British soldiers.) Asked to name officers under whom he served, Harris mentioned Gen. Gates, Gen. De Kalb (who was killed in Gates’s Defeat), and Lafayette. Like many veterans, James Harris appears to have received a bounty of land as reward for his service. In 1794 he had 65 acres surveyed on the North Mayo River, and in 1827 he and his wife, Kizziah Harris, paid 1,000 pounds of tobacco for 31 acres on Mayo River. The 1810 Patrick County census records him as James Harris, mulatto. In James Harris’s pension file is a latter dated 13 Feb 1836 from one James M. Read of Patrick County who, with no motivation other than the prevention of fraud, he said, inquired whether James Harris, being “as black as half the Negroes of the county,” was entitled to a pension. The reply to Mr. Read was that free Negroes had served in the Revolution, and that the pension act made no distinction based on skin color. In the 1840 census of military pensioners, James Harris was recorded as age 85 and living in the household of William Cassell of Patrick County. According to The History of Patrick County, Virginia, James Harris died in 1844. In the 1840 Patrick County census, James Harris’s widow, Keziah, was listed as a head of household, “free colored.” The 1850 census lists her as Kasire Harris, 80, born in Virginia, mulatto. With her was Milly Harris, 40, possibly her daughter, as well as Richard 26 and John 7. Listed next to her and presumably related was Serena Harris 35 with Peter 13, Lucinda 6, and Samuel 2, all listed as mulatto. Next on the census and alone was Susan Harris 18, mulatto. In 1856 Keziah Harris applied for a pension as the widow of a Revolutionary War veteran. She stated that her age was 87 and that she had married James Harris around 1800. She had recently moved to Fayette County, OH to live with relatives because of failing health. To avoid confusion, anyone interested in researching this James Harris should be aware that there was another James Harris of Patrick County who was a Revolutionary War veteran. He was the son of William and Sarah Harris, and his wife was named Patte. This James Harris owned property in the northern part of the county, but he appears to have lived mainly in Buckingham County until he moved to Floyd County KY in the 1820s. Charles Leon Harris

In a court record dated 25 June 1861, James Boyd and John Boyd were arrested for killing a Patrick County resident. Does anyone have any facts about the case or the outcome of the trial? Cynthia A.

While researching the Revolutionary War record of my ancestor, William Harris, I found in the pension application of his widow the application of a different William Harris. Anyone looking for the application by the latter William Harris would not be likely to find it except by chance, and someone researching the husband of Lydia may inadvertently copy data for the wrong William Harris. Here is a summary for the two William Harrises: My William Harris was born to William and Sarah Harris on the James River in Cumberland County VA on 25 Aug 1755. The family then moved to Buckingham County VA, where William entered service in the Militia in May of 1776. In the early 1780s the family moved to Henry County, where William married Lydia. The part of Henry County where they lived became Patrick County in 1791. In the 1820s William, Lydia, and their youngest son moved to Barren County KY, where William filed his pension application in 1833. He died in 1838, and Lydia applied for a widow’s pension in 1839. In Lydia’s file is the pension application of a William Harris who stated that he was born in London in August of 1845 and came to America in 1769. In 1776 he was living in Augusta County VA, where he entered service in the Mili tia. After the war he moved to Bourbon County KY where he filed his pension application in 1832. There is no mention of family members. This filing error must have occurred early, because officials in the Pension Department were also confused: they awarded Lydia’s estate the larger pension that was due to the second William rather than to her husband. I am transcribing both pension applications and will be glad to send one or both of them to anyone who requests by email (off the list). Charles Leon Harris

The obit posted was for Lucy Ann's husband, not father. If I have all my facts right (still in the process of "proving all things"), Lucy Ann Martin Fulcher was the sister of my gr-grandfather John Robert Martin. They were among the children of John C. Martin (b 10/21/1829, d ?) & Elizabeth Ann Fulcher (b 1828 d ?). John C. and E.A. married in Patrick Co. on 10/5/1849 Elizabeth Ann Fulcher Martin was the daughter of Edmond and Nancy Nowlin Fulcher Sr. Don't know what the relationship between Edmond and Lucy's father-in-law Gabriel is. In the 1860 census, their dwellings are not close numerically. Lucy's dad John C. Martin was the son of Isaac Martin Sr. (b 9/1/1782 d 8/28/1872) and Susanna Perdie Rogers (b 1800 d ?). They married in Patrick County on 10/27/1827.
