Worley Herschel Carter, Sarah Elizabeth (Pannell) Carter and Family

January 11, 2014 by Patty 27 Comments

Worley  Herschel and Sarah Elizabeth (Pannell) CarterNila (Dulaney) Moore writes: The first photo is of my grandparents Worley Herschel and Sarah Elizabeth (Pannell) Carter. The photo was taken around 1907. Worley was the son of William Herschel and Pheobe Cocke Carter. He was born Nov. 9th 1874, in Scott County and died in Big Stone Gap in 1950.

Worley Carter Family
In the second photo in the back row is Everett Carter, Pheobe Cocke Carter (Worley’s mother) and William Carter. The front row is Clyde Carter, Worley Carter, Thelma Carter (my mother) Sarah Elizabeth Carter and Herschel Carter. The photo was taken around 1911. Everett and William are the son’s of Laura Belle Rigs, Worley’s second wife. Sarah Elizabeth was Worley’s third marriage.

I’m not sure where the photos were taken. The first one may have been taken in Scott County. I think the second was taken after they moved to Big Stone Gap.

My mother Thelma Carter married Echol Dulaney, son of James Dulaney and Sarah Jane (Barnett) who was also born in Scott County.

    I have a Cocke family member in my line. Would you share info on Pheobe Cocke Carter? Birth? Parents? Siblings? Where was so born? There might be a connection somewhere. My Cocke member is a brick wall for me. Thanks for any small hints.

    Phoebe Carter and many others are buried on a property we purchased in Scott Co. The cemetery is overgrown and hard to get through. I look forward to cleaning it up and making it more accessible. The family history runs very deep on this land.

      I think my grandfather Worley Carter is also buried there. I haven’t been back since I was young so it’s been a lone time.

      The Carter’s I’m related to are from Rye Cove in Scott County. Worley seemed to be a common name int the Carters, but I think all the Carter’s in that area are related. Your can go to rootsweb.com and click on their family tree and find most of the Carter’s family history.

          I was born in Big Stone Gap, which is in Wise County. My grandfather Worley was the only child of William Herschel Carter and Pheobe Cocke. William was only 24 when he died and my grandfather was only 18 months old. He was raised by his grandparents Elijah and Matilda Carter. I did find in my Carter Family history that Capt. Thomas Carter (who is pretty much the patiarch of the Carters) was married to Katherine Dale. He came over from England around 1649. He married Katherine around 1670. If you go to Rootsweb.com. Go to their family tree and type in Capt. Thomas Carter, you might be able to find who you are looking for.

    Sarah Elizabeth Pannell Carter was the sister of my Great Grandmother Minnie Jane Pannell. Minnie was murdered by my Great Grandfather W. W. Willis. She is buried in Glencoe Cemetery Wise, VA beside her mother Mary Florence Murray Pannell and her father B. F. Pannell. No one was ever to speak of W. W. Willis. My grandmother was 3 yrs old when her mother was killed. (The Big Stone Gap Post – Wednesday, Feb. 2, 1921.) She was raised as a Pannell until she had to legally take the last name Willis. IF you have any info about Mrs. Carter and her family I would be grateful to hear it. I am trying to find out the rest of the story on W. W. Willis. He was hauled off to the Wise County jail by Sherriff Corder in 1921 and nothing else mentioned (that I have yet found.) thank you, Todd

      That might explain why my grandmother Sarah Elizabeth named my aunt Minnie. Her name was Minnie Jeanette. I really don’t know alot about the Pannells. Sarah Elizabeth was the third wife of my Grandfather Worley Carter. He had two sons with his second wife and she had 11 kids with my grandfather. My mother Thelma was the oldest of Sarah’s. I looked through the information I have and the children of Bejamin and Mary Pannell were: Daisy, Mary, Sarah, Edith, Edward and Burliegh. Don’t know if it is correct. I didn’t find Minnie. But one of my uncles middle name is Burliegh and one of my aunts have the middle name Mary, so she did name some of her children after her siblings.

        I just found a 1920 census for Wise County, I found Will Willis who was 38 and Minnie J. who was 37 and 1 year old Francis. That would have made Minnie’s birthdate around 1884 or 1885. I am really confused Benjamin Pannell’s daughter Mary Ann was born June 1885.

      My great-grandmother was a sister of B. F. Pannell. In my research of the Pannells, there was a follow up in Big Stone Gap newspaper that W. W. Willis was declared insane and was taken to Southwest Virginia Mental Hospital at Marion, Virginia. Hope this helps. Karen

    I think these Pannells that are being discussed in the comments section are related to my Pannells of Scott County. Does anyone have additional information on Benjamin F Pannell, including dates of birth, death, marriage, and parentage? My ancestors were Francis Henry Gaines Pannell (b 1854 in either Sullivan Co TN or Scott Co VA), who was the son of Luke W Pannell (b 1813 in Botetourt Co, VA, d 1863 Scottt Co, VA). I have a few pictures of unknown Scott Countians associated with my Pannells that I will be glad to post here; I hope someone will recognize them!

      Benjamin Pannell was born August 13, 1861 in Pulaski County. He married Mary Florence Murray, Feb. 2, 1881. He died March 21, 1935. in Wise County. His dad was Henry Robert Pannell. Hope this helps. I do have a photo of Benjamin and Mary some where if that would help.

        Most of the Dulaney’s I am related to were from Scott County and Wise county VA. I don’t recognize any of your names. There were three Dulaney brothers who immigrated to Port Tobacco, Maryland from Kilkenny Ireland in 1703 as indentured servants. Joseph, William and Danial. Joseph worked for a Doctor and became a Doctor and migrated to W. VA and into Virginia which is from my line and could also be yours. From what I have found the other two stayed in the Maryland area. Hope this is of some help.

            We are also Scot-Irish ( my grandmother Sarah Barnett was Scot-Irish and my grandfather James Dulaney was Irish) We have Cherokee but have not been able to find any thing on the Cherokee part either.
