Abidja Clinton Hammonds - Harvey Gilliam

Sue writes;

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.

Herbert L., Dr. John (Logan?) Johnson and Samantha Hale

The following was sent to me by Anita Johnson, she is looking for information on her Johnson and Hales ancestors.

John (Logan?) Johnson

Samanthat Hale Johnson, wife of John Johnson

Samantha Hale Johnson, wife of John Johnson

Herbert Johnson Obit

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

John Brotherton, USS West Virginia

John Brotherton, USS West Virginia

This picture was in my great-grandmother, Margaret Eliza Lawson Hopkins, trunk when she died. On the back is written Jno Brotherton, USS West Virginia. He is wearing a naval uniform that appears to be World War I.

My great-grandfather, Robert Lee Hopkins, had a sister who married a Brotherton in Scott County and they moved to the mid-west (maybe Missouri). I don’t know which of the sisters married the Brotherton. This was just someone’s recollection when I started asking about the unidentified photographs in the trunk.

Robert Lee was the son of James Hopkins and Lucy Creasy who moved to Russell County from Franklin County after the Civil War. Anyone know this family or are a descendant of Jno Brotherton?

John Miller, John Maynard Miller & Family

John Miller, son of Daniel and Katherine Booher Miller.

John Miller, son of Daniel and Katherine Booher Miller.

Submitted by Ken Miller, Jr.

I am sending my great-great grandfathers photo and my grandfathers photo for your consideration to be placed on your site. My great great grandfather is John Miller, son of Daniel and Katherine Booher Miller. He was born in 1850 in Scott County, Virginia and died there in 1875. I have been told that he died as a result of a horse kicking him. John was married to Mary Sproles and together they had two sons, James E. Miller and Charles Miller, with James being my great- grandfather. Tragically, like his father before him, death came to him early…he was born in 1870 and died in 1893.

James was married to Kate Fleenor and together they had one son, my grandfather, John Maynard Miller. My grandfather ran a store in Scott County for many, many years. He passed away in 1964. When my father, Kenneth, Sr., passed away I inherited his old home place upon which the old store was still standing until I had to tear it a few months ago…it was simply beyond repair.

John Miller Family

John Maynard Miller, his wife, Eva Houser Miller, and their son J.M.

Daniel, John, and James are all buried in the Miller Cemetery in Scott County as well as Daniel’s father, John.

My mother found the tin type photo of my great great grandfather in a closet after my father died and had no idea who John Miller was. The photo is in an interesting frame and John Miller was written on the back. John’s watch and chain as well as his Masonic pin have been embellished with gold paint which I read was common for the photographers to do in those days.

I have hit the “brick wall” as far as the death of James Miller goes. If anyone could give me any information I would certainly be most appreciative. I will share any info I have with anyone interested in the Miller family of Scott County.

Thank you,
Ken Miller, Jr.

William H. Brickey family

Submitted by Amy Moon, she writes;

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? Contact me at my e-mail address LittleMup@sbcglobal.net
