Patty,
I hope someone in Scott County recognizes this family. I don’t seem to be able to connect with anyone who might have information.
This is a picture of Abidja “Bige” Clinton Hammonds. I was told the large gentleman with him is his uncle Harvey Gilliam. Would like to know if this is Harvey Gilliam or one of “Bige’s” other uncles. “Bige” died at age 22 leaving a wife and 14 month old son. His mother was Louisa (Louisiana) Gilliam daughter of Elizabeth D. Carter and Jesse L. Gilliam. His father was Marion L. Hammonds, son of Nancy Williams and Anderson Hammonds.
“Bige” was born in 1886. The 1890 census was burned and he died July 4th, 1908, therefore, he appears in only one census, the 1900 census when he is living with a member of the Gilliam family.
The picture has J. S. Osburn, Artist – Blackwater, Va., Written on the bottom.
Thank you for publishing all these old pictures. They are really a joy to see.

The following was sent to me by Anita Johnson, she is looking for information on her Johnson and Hales ancestors.
John (Logan?) Johnson
Samantha Hale Johnson, wife of John Johnson
Herbert Johnson Obit
My Father’s Father’s name was Herbert L. Johnson born in Duffield, VA in 1900. His Father’s name was Dr. John (Logan??) Johnson and his wife’s name Samantha Hale. They had two other sons, Kelly and Byron and somewhere there were Aunts, Ollie Mae/May and Georgia whom lived in Johnson City, TN and Church Hill, TN where they died.
Whether they were related to my Fathers father or his father’s sisters I am not sure at this writing as I’ve forgotten!….But my father said when he was younger, they would visit them. Both never married and died alone in TN. I remember letters that Ollie Mae would send us from Tennessee back in the early 1970’s. I’ve yet to see the names of Ollie May or Georgia as daughters of any Johnson. Even in older census records after 1910.
My Dad and I are trying to figure out his side of the family, and the photo I am enclosing, the original has on the back: JOHN LOGAN no date or anything. Supposedly it’s of my Great-Grandfather.
Also enclosing a copy of Samantha Hale’s photo, his wife. Both were born around 1874. As I said it shows that, James C. Hale was her father and Barbara Jane Adams was her mothers maiden name.
Perhaps you have heard of Samantha Hale? Maybe some one can shed some light as to whom Samantha Hale’s husband was other then UNKNOWN as stated on Rootsweb.com.
I would appreciate any help you can assist me with.
Thank You,
Anita Johnson
