#1063 William wife Polly is mine. He married Polly Gilliam and went to Morgan Co., Ky., by 1853. Burrell/Burl, Spencer, Kendrick, Tyre, Ira, Ezekiel, George Washington [wife America] and Henry Gibson are all found on Morgan Co., Ky., tax list prior to 1853, before William got there. I think some of them went to Hawkins Co., Tenn. Henry Gibson was 80 years old and died in 1855, born in NC he was the son of Thomas and was "yellow." I am also fairly sure they are descended from Thomas Gibson who died in 1734 Hanover/Louisa Co., Va., and had sons, John, Valentine, Thomas etc. I also believe that the above Thomas is descended from the Gibson/Chavis family found in Surry Co., Va., in 1600s, with some removing to Pee Dee district and are "Melungeons'" mentioned in early records of Stoney Creek Church in Scott County, Va., 1800. Unfortunately all I have is a lot of specualtion with little documentation.

List, I am posting this again as I have not been able to identify this Zachariah Gibson listed in this census or his parents, wives & children. Is this the Zachariah Gibson, son of Archibald Gibson; who married Charity ? Or Zachariah S. Gibson who married Ann JOHNSON 27 Oct. 1808 Augusta, VA? Would like to know the relationship of the others in this household # 881. Any help with the Gibsons in this 1850 census might break down this brick wall for me. Thanks for your time and help.

A Davidson "cousin", who isn't subscribed to this list yet, was doing some Internet research on early land records. Washington County Surveyors Record of 1771 - 17??, on pg. 156 states "Daniel Davidson, assignee of James Davidson, Jr. ... 86 ac ... Treasury Warrant ....on both sides on Mockison Creek, north branch of the north fork of the Holston River .... beginning on a spur of Clynch Mountail .... corner to John Frazers land he now lives on .... on the north bank of the creek  .... Warrant #1249, dated December 27, 1780 ... Jan 22, 1783."  I couldn't find a definition of "Treasury Warrant" in my reference books. Can anyone help? Kay Davidson

BOY ROSE, b. Abt. 1895. iii. HIRAM ROSE, b. Abt. 1902. iv. SAMSON ROSE, b. Abt. 1904. Murder story: WISE - Murder suspect Harless F. Rose pleaded not guilty Wednesday to capital murder and robbery in connection with the shooting death of a Coeburn supermarket manager in October. Rose, 32, of Coeburn, stood quietly with court-appointed defense lawyers Walt Rivers and Stephen Kalista as a deputy circuit court clerk read the charges from the March 16 two-count indictment. He replied "not guilty" with no sign of emotion when asked how he pleaded to the charges. The capital murder charge carries a maximum penalty of death if Rose is convicted, while the robbery charge carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Rose was arrested Saturday by Dickenson County Sheriff Bobby Hammonds after Coeburn, Wise County and Virginia State Police officers began searching for him Friday morning. The indictment stems from the Oct. 5 robbery and shooting death of Timothy Dale Hughes, a manager at the Coeburn Payless Supermarket. Hughes was taking a bank deposit to the nearby Miner's Exchange Bank about 10:40 p.m. Two employees who accompanied him said a man wearing a black ski mask and holding a pistol shot Hughes and took the bank deposit. Hughes and the employees then chased the shooter, who fired and struck Hughes again. Hughes collapsed at the scene. Members of Hughes' family sat quietly in the front row of the spectators' section of the courtroom as Wise County Circuit Court Judge J. Robert Stump went over routine arraignment procedures with Rose and his attorneys. Stump declared Rose indigent for purposes of legal representation, adding that "the court has appointed you two attorneys since this case is very serious." Kalista told Stump that Rose did not request his right to a speedy trial, and Stump scheduled Aug. 6-8 for the trial. Kalista also asked Stump to set a bond for Rose, noting that the county magistrate ordered him held without bond upon his arrest Saturday. Commonwealth's Attorney Joe Carico objected to bond, and Kalista said he did not necessarily expect a bond hearing during Wednesday's arraignment. Stump told the defense and prosecution to confer on a date for a bond hearing. Carico later said no date had been agreed upon by Wednesday evening. Carico declined comment Wednesday on the nature of evidence against Rose but noted that Rose had submitted to a blood test during the investigation. Investigators have declined to comment on whether a weapon has been recovered in connection with the killing, although a black ski mask was found in a Coeburn residential yard several days after Hughes' death.

Hi All: I've been busy the past week updating the site once again. There are another 25 or so photos of historical Lee County or families. I also posted some Civil War documents of the Tritt family, notes of deaths and births by G.V. Sage, a transcribed article from an early edition of the Appalachian Quarterly, and the latest installment of the Gateway to the West Series. Hope you all enjoy!

Well Wayne, It took you long enough to finally hit my Witcher line from Pittsylvania CO., VA.... One or two went into Scott Co.,VA and married into my Barnett line there, then I found them on your Hills and Hollers website update.... My g-g-g-g-g-gfa John Witcher (who married Nancy Adkins) & his brother, William took the Oath of Allegiance to the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1777. John was an Lieutenant and William was a Captain during the Rev. War. Records found in Pittsylvania Co., VA. I think you will find the Witcher Boys on your site are the descendants of William Witcher who is buried on Sandy Level, PIttsylvania Co., VA. William played a big roll in VA during the Rev War. for Pittsy Co. Many of Wm Witcher line went into GA as well and deep south then onto Texas. Thanks Wayne for sharing. Do enjoy your site.
