Posted on: Washington Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Va/Washington/10295 Surname: Fields, Dunn, Childers ------------------------- The Maryville Weekly (Maryville, TN), Friday, February 6, 1880 One of the most awful accidents in the history of Abingdon occurred last Friday in the burning to death of Miss Sarah Ann Fields of that town. Miss Fields was a sister of Mr. James Fields, a prominent citizen of the town, and has long been an inmate of his household. The family were living in the D.C. Dunn brick building, west of the depot on Main Street. At the time of the accident, only the doomed lady, Mr. Fields' two daughters, Miss Annice and Ellen, and a small negro boy, were on the premises. The two daughters were in the east room below, and their aunt, Miss S.A. Fields, was occupying a room in the second story of the ell. She had carried up to her room a lot of chips, and had put a portion of them on the fire, and was seated in front of it, when a lighted corn-cob fell from the top of the fire and rolled beneath her dress. This was unnoticed by her until she found her dress on fire. At noon the two young ladies below heard her screams, but at first thought them those of sport, proceeding from the children of Mr. Childers, who lived on the adjoining lot. When they were convinced of their mistake, Miss Annice Fields ran to her assistance, and on entering the room found her standing near the door completely enveloped in flames. With wonderful presence of mind, she wrapped her in one of the bed covers, and thus extinguished the flames. Too late! She was burned to a blackened crisp from her ankles to the crown of her head. Every vestige of clothing was burned from her, excepting her shoes, which were tightly laced, her feet only being unharmed. She was able to tell the particulars, but died in two hours. Miss Annice Fields, in her heroic efforts to save her aunt, was severely burned, and would unquestionably have lost her life, but for the fact that she was clad in woolen goods. The deceased was aged, perhaps, some 60 years. ---Bristol News.

Posted on: Washington Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Va/Washington/10292 Surname: PHELPS, FELPS, CUMBOW, METCALFE ------------------------- I am interested in anyone connected to the PHELPS/FELPS family of Russell Co., Va. My ancestor was JOHN C. PHELPS, the son of SAMUEL PHELPS, JR & RIETY (ELIZA) CHAPMAN PHELPS. Samuel Sr. originally came to Washington Co. then moved on to Russell Co. and lived around the Hansonville area. JOHN C. PHELPS married a lady named MARGARET c. 1867. She was from Kentucky. I once thought it was a lady from Washington Co. named Margaret Mann, but found out that was not correct. That was a different John Phelps. JOHN C. PHELPS moved to Pikeville around the mid 1860's. His son, WALTER GAY PHELPS, was my grandfather was born in Pikeville and grew up there. He moved back to Russell Co. in the late 1890's. He married 1st: ELVIE ELLEN CUMBOW; 2nd: SARAH ANICE METCALFE. My grandmother was Anice Metcalfe. Am interested in finding out about John's first wife ELVIE ELLEN CUMBOW. Thanks!

Tina, I have ggg grandparents, Thomas H. JOHNSON and Elizabeth LINDSEY of Johnson Co. TN. From 1840 census, they have a male child born 1821-1825. I am not sure about Thomas H. Johnsons parents, but he was b. MD, and has possible connections to Saltville area. Elizabeth was born in Washington Co. VA d/o Moses LINDSEY and Catharine MYERS / MIRES. This is what I have so far. I descend through their daughter Barbara. Barbara had two brothers who went with her husband, David Lindsey, to fight in the War with Mexico (1845). I haven't researched these military records yet, but that could be a way to find more about Benjamin. Sounds like Benjamin may have a Civil War story too. Thomas H. was a Confederate sympathizer and was killed by Stoneman's troops at the very end of the Civil War, at age 78. There were lots of Johnson's, so its a little like a needle in a haystack. By the way, Johnson Co. TN was named for another Thomas Johnson, different guy, had us confused for a while. Descendant Report - 27 Apr 2001 ???????????????????????????????????????? 1.
