A New Look!

Don’t worry, you’re in the right place!

Just wanted to spruce the place up a bit and get myself geared up to start adding some new photos. I’ve been neglecting this place for a long time, but life has a way of making other plans for you.

One of the things that has been keeping me pretty busy is our newest Scott County descendant…. My grand-daughter Madison. She was born on June 6th and is a perfect little angel.

So look for new posts in the coming weeks and let me know if you have any problems with the new site layout.

All my best, Pat

P.S. I’ve added a donate button to the sidebar on the left. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated!

This is a picture of the William H. Brickey family taken around 1905-1906 in Scott County, VA. I believe the back row standing from left to right are the children (and spouses) of William Brickey and his wife Nan Stone Brickey: Laura Brickey Flannery and her husband Charles Flannery, Orb Stacy and his wife Clara Brickey Stacy, James, Charlie and Pat Brickey (but not sure what order). I believe the three children on the left are John (sitting), Sarah and Mollie Brickey. These are all the children (and two spouses) of William H. Brickey and Nan Stone Brickey.
I have a separate picture of just the two little girls Molly and Millie.

I am not sure who the woman sitting between the two little girls is. Millie Stacy (Ford) is labeled. She is the daughter of Orb and Clara Stacy. I believe the woman sitting holding a baby is Nan Stone Brickey. I believe the man sitting holding a baby is William Henry Brickey. One of the babies is probably William Stacy, son of Orb and Clara. I am not sure who the other baby is, who the young boy standing is, or who the old man on the far right is.

William H. Brickey (abt 1862- 1942) is the son of Patterson Brickey and Nancy Duncan. Patterson Brickey died in 1862 in the Civil War. Nancy remarries to Bluford Southers.
Nan Stone Brickey (abt 1863- 1942) is the daughter of John Stone and Amanda Horton. William Brickey is in the 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 Scott Co., VA census.

Orb Stacy and Clara Brickey are in the 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 Scott Co., VA census.

The labeled girl, Millie Stacy Ford (abt 1901 - 1945) , is my husband’s great grandmother. Any help identifying the people in the picture is appreciated!

Thanks,
Amy Moon

These pictures were in my grandmother’s house and unfortunately were not labeled. We believe these to be from her Scott County descendants. Webb, Bloomer, Roller, Bledsoe, Neely lines. But then again, as genealogy research always surprises us, they could be from anywhere and anyone. No bit of information is considered too small. Any thoughts?

Janet writes, 

I hope you can post this photograph on your website and perhaps someone can help with with a positive identification.

My Mother-in-Law (Alice Joye Taylor Hill) has had this photograph for many years. All she knew was that the photo is of “Granny Taylor.” My Mother-in-Law was the daughter of George Charles Taylor (1907-1933) of Scott County, Virginia.

What Joye did not realize was that she had two great-great grandmothers who could have been called “Granny Taylor.” I will send a family tree in an email to follow this one.

Granny Taylor

The woman in the photograph is either Nancy Jane Salling (1842-1932), who was the wife of Milo Taylor and the mother of George Monroe Taylor…….or she is Nancy M. Dorton (1848-1931), wife of Monroe Taylor and mother of Mary Elizabeth “Lizzie” Taylor.

Milo Taylor and Monroe Taylor were brothers, both sons of James Andrew and Catherine Stewart Taylor. Milo’s son George Monroe Taylor married his first cousin, Mary Elizabeth “Lizzie” Taylor, daughter of Monroe on 28 March 1888 in Scott County.

On the 1930 Federal Census in the DeKalb District of Scott County, Virginia Nancy M. Dorton Taylor was living in the home of her daughter and son-in-law, George M. and Mary E. Taylor. Nancy Salling Taylor was living next door in the household of her son Mark Pomeroy Taylor.

Harvey Wolfe Family Gathering, Mothers Day 1915, Scott County, Virginia

Click on the images to see a larger version

Jane writes,

Pat, I am trying to find out if anyone living recognizes these family members. The picture is made at Harvey Wolfe’s home on Mother’s Day, 1915. My grandmother Frances Maud Wolfe is the girl in the white dress in the foreground of the photo and her parents are on the back row left corner, Andrew Jackson Wolfe and Laura Catherine Lane Wolfe. Unfortunately by the time I had possession of the photo no one was living to tell me who they are. A.J. and Laura lived and are buried near Rye Cove in Scott County.

I also wonder if anyone has information about the children in this school picture. I have no knowledge of the school name etc.
