Dear Sir;

I desire to correct a misstatement of J. F. Griffith published in your paper of the 21st. inst. Mr. Griffith states that Flem Pack was turned down at Pounding Mill, because he had failed to pay his capitation tax. This is not true. Mr. Pack was a good soldier and Is exempt from
the prepayment of his tax as a prerequisite to voting. Mr. Pack never has made application to register since
the 1st of January, 1904, at Pounding Mill. I would like for Mr. Griffith to give his author for the information he
obtained with regard to Mr. Pack.

John W. Wease,

J. B. Bentley ,
Marshal Mullins,

The lands devised In the foregoing testament are the bone of contention in one of the most important suits ever known in West Virginia? the case of Edwin J. Berwind et als. vs. W. T. Holbrook, which is now claiming the attention of the federal court at Charleston . There are witnesses from
Tazewell county, Va., Cincinnati and McDowell, Webster and Kanawha counties, and the legal battle is being bitterly contested.

The attorneys for Holbrook and his associates are William R. Thompson, of Huntington, and the law firm of Avis, Jordan & Hardy, of Charlteston, Edwln J. Berwind and Thomas
Fisher, the plaintiffs in the case are represented by Brown Jackson & Knight, of Charleston and Attorneys
Chapman and Gillespie, of Tazewell, Va.

The case is a most important one, as it is claimed by Berwind and Fisher that the will of Mrs. Pack, which the defense has brought into court, is a rank forgery and one of the rankest ever put on probate.

In opening the case Ivory C. Jordan stated in behalf of the defense that they would prove to the jury that the will which was probated is genuine. They claim that in August, 1888, Rebecca Jane Pack was ill at the home of her father, Isaac W. Holbrook, in Webster county, and on the 7th day
of August of that year she made a will. Prior to making the will she had stated how she wanted her property, consisting of about 120 acres on Tug river, divided. This will, it is claimed, was made out by Joh n W. Weese in the presence of three witnesses and several relatives of the family. The defense claims that the reason the will was not sent to McDowell county for probate until July, 1904, was that when Mrs. Pack died, she gave the w ill to her mother, Mrs. Cosby Holbrook. This was in a sealed envelope, and just as it was handed to Mrs. Pack on her death bed by Mr. Weese. The mother did not open the will but put it in an old trunk
until 1901, when she became sick and gave it to her son, W. J . Holbrook, the defendant in the case, who was poor, and did not take it to the county court in McDowell county until 1904, where he at that time hired attorneys
and had the will put on record. Mr. Jordan claims that Mr. Holbrook in the year 1901 started to walk to McDowell from Webster for the purpose of filing the will, but while en route he stopped on Cabin Creek to work and after two years went to McDowell where he placed the will in the hands of the county clerk.

Mr. Jackson, in behalf of the state, offered an enlarged photographic copy of the will which was recorded in McDowell, supposed to be the last will and testament of Mrs. P ack. He told of Mr. Pack returning to McDowell
county after his wife?s death in Webster with their two infant children; how in the course of time the land owned by Mrs. Pack began to grow' in value, and in 1901 Mr. Pack
sold his life interest to Mr. Berwind and Mr. Fisher. In 1902 he sold the estate which belonged to the one surviving
child, the other having died when quite young.

This land now is being developed as one of the richest coal fields in the state and on these grounds Mr. Jackson claims that the defendant thought they could secure land which did not belong to them, by producing a will which he says is forgery, but if proven to be genuine, it would destroy every title that Mr. Berwind and his associates had on the land.

Attorney Jackson pointed out to the jury the peculiar wording of the will and said no sane woman would
make a will which would give to h e r older brother property which rightly belonged to her own son. In the will
which is in evidence, Mrs. Pack states that she bequeaths on the death of one or both of her sons all of her property to her mother, Mrs. Cosby Holbrook, and in case of her death
or the death of one or both of her sons; before they become of age, the property goes to her brother, W. T. Holbrook.

T he attorneys for the plain tiff claim that they will be able to show that John W. Weese never made out the will and that it is not in his handwriting.

There is only one surviving witness to the will introduced by the defense and he is J. W. Bentley, who was the first witness called after Mr.Black, of Tazewell, and Mr. Rumbach,
of Cincinnati, testified as to the photographs exhibited.

Mr. Bentley is an old gentleman from McDowell county and claims that he is 75 years of age. He was called in at the Holbrook home in 1888 by John Weese to sign his name to what, he supposes was the will of Mrs. Pack.

The attorneys for the plaintiff strongly objected to the witness? testimony and the jury was ordered from the room while the case was argued before Judge Dayton.

Mr. Bentley was put upon the stand. He testified that he could neither read nor write and that when he was ca11ed
in at the time the alleged will was made as a witness he so informed the parties. The will was read to him and he authorized the signature of his name to it, as he could not write himself. The will in question was handed to him to identify, but he could not identify it as the one that was read to him on that occasion.

Flem And The Panther

One time, Uncle Flem said he had gone to a place in the woods called a deer lick. It was near a small sink hole, and there were a lot of leaves on the ground. He stretched out ot wait for a deer. He hadn't meant to go to sleep, but nevertheless he did. When he woke up, he judged he'd been asleep about an hour, but he was all covered with leaves. He got up quietly and climbed on a fallen tree - way up high in the roots and hid.

He didn't wait long until he heard a sound in the leaves. Lo and behold, there was a mother panther and two cubs. The mother dived into the sink hole and started to dig frantically.

This made cold chills go over his entire body. He vowed right then he would never go to sleep in the woods again. So far as we know, he never did.

After the panther had searched but not found him, she must have smelled him. She lifted her head and looked straight at him. Flem took careful aim and shot her. He found a club and knocked the cubs in the head. He skinned them and kept their hides to sell to the man from Baltimore.

Granny Spence's Witchcraft Solution Saves Cousin Flem

Note: There was a Josiah and Anne Spence that lived a few house away from the Pack's in the 1850 Census.

Sarah had a 17 year old brother, Flem. The closest neighbor was one we shall not call by name since grandma as well as everybody else said the old woman of the house was a witch.

She had several children, one was a girl about the same age as Flem, and she was madly in love with him. One evening as he walked home she met him and began to flirt with him. Flem payed her no mind and left her standing in the road with hurt feelings. By the time he go home he had a sick headache.

Grandma stayed up all night with him. At her wit's end, she sent for another neighbor, Granny Spence, who was not afraid of witches. Spence went in to talk to Flem. She asked Flem if he had made any water since the headache began. He managed a weak no. She asked him if he had talked to the neighbor girl. He said yes, she had given him a bloom from a crab apple tree. She asked him what he did with it. Flem said he had put it in his shirt pocket.

Granny Spence reached over the bed and took it from his pocket. She then took a new piece of small silver coin from her apron pocket, wrapped the flower around it and swiftly cast them both in the flames of the back log of the fireplace.

She told grandma never to take the silver out, always put it back after cleaning the fireplace. Then she told Samantha to fill the three-legged iron kettle with water and let it strike a rolling boil. She told her to take a tin dipper and pour a dipper at a time on the hearth, spreading it all around slowly, letting it fizzle and pop until it drys each time. According to Granny Spence, after half the water had been used, the maggots that would have eaten Flem alive would crawl out of the hearth.

This grandma did, taking special care to follow Granny Spence's instructions to the letter. Just as the old lady had told her, the wiggly creatures appeared. Samantha hurried and poured the remaining wather on them then swept them up and cast them int the fire. Granny Spence told her when this part had been done, the guilty party would come and knock on the door and want to borrow something. She told her not to let her have anything, not even a crumb of bread.

After Samantha had burned the creatures, she went into the bedroom to see how Flem was feeling. Just then, the wicked neighbor came to the door and knocked. Grandma opened the door with her big homemade broom in her hand. The neighbor wanted to know if Samantha could loan her a cup of dry coffee for supper. Anger welled in grandma, she shook the broom at her and told her no, and never to come to her house again. By the next morning, Cousin Flem was good as new. Shortly after the wicked neighbor moved and was never heard from again.

The lands devised In the foregoing testament are the bone of contention in one of the most important suits ever known in West Virginia. the case of Edwin J. Berwind et als. vs. W. T. Holbrook, which is now claiming the attention of the federal court at Charleston . There are witnesses from Tazewell county, Va., Cincinnati and McDowell, Webster and Kanawha counties, and the legal battle is being bitterly contested.

The attorneys for Holbrook and his associates are William R. Thompson, of Huntington, and the law firm of Avis,Jordan & Hardy, of Charlteston, Edwln J. Berwind and Thomas Fisher, the plaintiffs in the case are represented by Brown Jackson & Knight, of Charleston and Attorneys Chapman and Gillespie, of Tazewell, Va.

The case is a most important one, as it is claimed by Berwind and Fisher that the will of Mrs. Pack, which the defense has brought into court, is a rank forgery and one of the rankest ever put on probate.

In opening the case Ivory C. Jordan stated in behalf of the defense that they would prove to the jury that the will which was probated is genuine. They claim that in August, 1888, Rebecca Jane Pack was ill at the home of her father, Isaac W. Holbrook, in Webster county, and on the 7th day

This will, it is claimed, was made out by John W. Weese in the presence of three witnesses and several relatives of the family. The defense claims that the reason the will was not sent to McDowell county for probate until July, 1904, was that when Mrs. Pack died, she gave the w ill to her mother, Mrs. Cosby Holbrook. This was in a sealed envelope, and just as it was handed to Mrs. Pack on her death bed by Mr. Weese. The mother did not open the will but put it in an old trunk
until 1901, when she became sick and gave it to her son, W. J . Holbrook, the defendant in the case, who was poor, and did not take it to the county court in McDowell county until 1904, where he at that time hired attorneys and had the will put on record. Mr. Jordan claims that Mr. Holbrook in the year 1901 started to walk to McDowell from Webster for the purpose of filing the will, but while en route he stopped on Cabin Creek to work and after two years went to McDowell where he placed the will in the hands of the county clerk.

Mr. Jackson, in behalf of the state, offered an enlarged photographic copy of the will which was recorded in McDowell, supposed to be the last will and testament of Mrs. Pack. He told of Mr. Pack returning to McDowell
county after his wife's death in Webster with their two infant children; how in the course of time the land owned by Mrs. Pack began to grow in value, and in 1901 Mr. Pack
sold his life interest to Mr. Berwind and Mr. Fisher. In 1902 he sold the estate which belonged to the one surviving
child, the other having died when quite young.

[Note: Fleming Pack had recently died when this court case happened.]

This land now is being developed as one of the richest coal fields in the state and on these grounds Mr. Jackson claims that the defendant thought they could secure land which did not belong to them, by producing a will which he says is forgery, but if proven to be genuine, it would destroy every title that Mr. Berwind and his associates had on the land.

Attorney Jackson pointed out to the jury the peculiar wording of the will and said no sane woman would make a will which would give to her older brother property which rightly belonged to her own son. In the will which is in evidence, Mrs. Pack states that she bequeaths on the death of one or both of her sons all of her property to her mother, Mrs. Cosby Holbrook, and in case of her death or the death of one or both of her sons; before they become of age, the property goes to her brother, W. T. Holbrook.

The attorneys for the plaintiff claim that they will be able to show that John W. Weese never made out the will and that it is not in his handwriting.

There is only one surviving witness to the will introduced by the defense and he is J. W. Bentley, who was the first witness called after Mr.Black, of Tazewell, and Mr. Rumbach,
of Cincinnati, testified as to the photographs exhibited.

Mr. Bentley is an old gentleman from McDowell county and claims that he is 75 years of age. He was called in at the Holbrook home in 1888 by John Weese to sign his name to what, he supposes was the will of Mrs. Pack.

The attorneys for the plaintiff strongly objected to the witness' testimony and the jury was ordered from the room while the case was argued before Judge Dayton.

Mr. Bentley was put upon the stand. He testified that he could neither read nor write and that when he was ca11ed
in at the time the alleged will was made as a witness he so informed the parties. The will was read to him and he authorized the signature of his name to it, as he could not write himself. The will in question was handed to him to identify, but he could not identify it as the one that was read to him on that occasion.

STORY

Story by Georgia Mansfield says the second wife, also named Rebecca, died of Consumption (Tuberulosis)

Note: Georgia Maude Quesenberry Maxfield, an 80 year old Tazewell resident (deceased), has written these recollections of early Tazewell County life as told to her by her great-grandmother and her grandmother. Her Recollections appeared in the Tazewell Newspaper sometime in the early 1980's. Georgia was the daughter of George & Mary Frances Burress Quesenberry. Collected by Michelle Burruss

Little Liza Pack Eases Her Ailing Stepmother's Worries

Now along about this time, Sarah's brother Flemming Pack had grown up, fallen in love, and married a beautiful frontier woman name Becky Hoback. [Actually it was Recebba Burruss] Flem was a good sized man, and he dearly loved his Becky, but love alone was not enough to stop the deadly typhoid fever that took her young life. No one could put a name to the immense sorrow Flem endured while mourning the loss of Becky, but his was doing nothing to find a mother for three kids. Flem then turned his interest to finding a new wife, which didn't take long.

This wife, too, was young and pretty, and her name was Becky Jones [Jane]. She and Flem endured many hardships, and presently they had two children of their own, bringing their family total to five. Now, believe me, life in those days was a trail in itself - long, cold, dark winters without much to eat at any one given time. Their cabin was not only small and drafty, but it was damp. It sat on the banks of what was a great river.

The way grandmother told it, it was much larger then, it was the almighty Clinch River. The fog off that river could bring a chill clean to the bones. Such was the case with Flem and Becky the second. While Flem worked at the sawmill somewhere between Cliffield and Pounding Mill, work of any kind was hard to come by. There were no roads except dirt roads, and no railroad until many years later in 1905. Even though Flem worked very hard at the mill and Becky worked hard at home, there came a time when things began to change at home. At first, cousin Flem thought it might be possible that Becky was beginning to resent his children by his first marriage.

Now Flemming Pack was a man of few words. He was quiet even to the point of shyness. When the men teased him about it, he'd just laugh and say that was how he got his women. But he began to study in his own mind if he was really right.

One warm, clear evening, he took a walk in the woods looking for wild game, and he thought, "Self, let us study this thing about a while and see what turns about." So that night, instead of falling asleep straight away as usual, he just pretended to sleep. When young Becky's didn't come in to bed right away, Flem called out, "Becky, what are you doing? Are you coming to bed?" Becky replied, "I'll be there shortly, I'm sewing." After a long while, Flem heard no sound. He slipped out of bed and looked around the door, only to find Becky asleep, with her head lying on the hard, homemade table. Flem just let her sleep for a long while.

Becky slept this way until along toward morning, when Flem decided it was time to get her to bed without her finding out he had known she was asleep. He pretended to put wood on the fire, dropped a log with a loud bang, and Becky stated awake and came running.

"I'm sorry about the noise," he said, hugged her close, and carried her off to bed, pretending not to notice the time. No sooner had he started to go to sleep than Becky started to cough, softly at first, then profusely.

The next morning, Flem asked her how long she had been doing this. "Oh," Becky sighed, "for a long time now..." Her neglect of the children was not of any one child. Instead of washing them herself and dressing them, she began to tell them to go wash up and dress themselves. This was beginning to get to Flemming. The next day being Friday, after work was over, instead of riding straight home, he said down on the porch of the mill. A big man called Irish stopped and asked, "What's eatin' ye?" Flem told his best friend how Becky had been acting. Irish sucked on his corn cob pipe and allowed that something wasn't clicking just right, so if it was okay with Flem, he and his Mandy would pay them a visit on Sunday. They had to come from Pounding Mill Branch, a long way by horse and wagon.

Come Sunday, Becky was excited at the thought of company, and hurried to do her chores. Flem noticed a slight stoop in her shoulder as he tried to hurry with all her might, every few mintues stopping to cough.

Around noon, the red-headed Irishman and his blond, blue-eyed Mandy came calling on Flem and Becky. As the lunch drew to a close, the talk grew less and less, and Flem allowed as how he would like to show Irish some animals outside. While the women washed the dishes, Becky stopped and went to the window. Looking out at the men, she began to cry softly. Now this was a little more than Mandy Irish could take, so big Mandy took Becky in her arms and held her close. Mandy could feel the rattle in Becky's body, just above the waist. "Becky, Flem told Irish how you've been coughing all night." Mandy said. Becky tried in vain to deny it. Mandy walked over to the double bed, pulled down the double wedding ring quilt top, and said, "Now Becky, look at these bleached pillow cases. I guess you've been carrying strawberries in these cases in October. Is these red and brown spots anything but from your mouth at night?" finished Mandy, pointing to the bright red stains on Becky's pillow only. Becky's face was a grayish white. She just stook and looked at Mandy speechlessly. Mandy asked, "How long have you been staining your pillow?" "Oh, a couple of weeks or so, I guess. After a while, I just didn't pay any attention," answered Becky.

Mandy hugged her. "If you stay wrapped up and don't do hardly any work - you'll have to stay in the house when it gets colder - you just may get to see the spring come." Mandy smiled trying to make Becky feel better. Becky began to cry, "Oh Mandy, whatever will become of Flem? He's lost one Becky, that nearly killed him, and now it's my turn. I feel so guilty. I told him I would raise his children when we were married." Mandy held her tight, "it's this darn river" she said. Both were unaware of the three pointed little faces peering around the door. There were Flem's children. His and Becky's were asleep.

The late fall sunshine made halo's around the blonde heads of the children. The oldest was 12 year old Liza, who promptly spoke up. "Mommy Becky, please don't cry. I will take care of Poppy till as long as he lives."

Mandy and Becky turned around to face them. Becky grabbed Liza by the arm. "Will you swear on the Bible to always put your father first? Oh, Liza, if only I knew you would I could die in peace." "Becky," scolded Mandy, "The Bible!" By this time Becky had gotten the Bible off the mantelpiece. "Yes, the Bible," whispered Becky. "Becky, that's not fair to Liza," objected Mandy. "It's all right," said Liza, placing her hand on the Bible, "I swear by this Bible and all that's holy to look after my Poppy as long as he lives," said Liza. Then, turning to Mandy, she asked, "What's wrong with Mommy Becky?"

Mandy sat down in the bark bottom chair. "Oh my child," she said, taking Liza on her lap. "Your momma is dying of comsumption. The wealthy folk call it tuberculosis, but no matter anyway, there's still no cure, for it's deadly. It always kills those afflicted with it. We couldn't cure it, even if we could find a doctor," said Mandy. Now Mandy and Becky were both God fearing Christians. Irish and Flem came in about that time, they had heard the whole thing. Flemming hugged Becky to his chest. Little Liza patted both their hands, "It'll be all right, Poppy."

"Now, now," said Irish. "It mightn't be all that bad as we think. Any howsomever, we can pray. God always has a way with sickness," he finished, hanging his head to hide the tears.

Flemming Pack Loses Another Wife

For the second time in young Flemming Pack's life, God didn't take a hand. As fall wore on into winter, the mill shut down, and poor Becky grew worse and worse. By Christmas it was all Becky could do to put a meal on the table, even with Liza's help.

Shortly after New Year's she could no longer leave her bed, except when Flem would pick up her bony little frame and sit it in the big chair he had made for her by the fireplace. One day Becky said to Flem, "Flemming, I'm truly sorry to take so much of your time." Flem bowed down on his knees in front of Becky, laid his head in her lap for just a moment, and cried softly. When he raised his head he smiled at Becky and said, "Becky, you know what I was thinking?" I know you are sick but I will have you. What I mean is, I was down at the store this morning, and Thacker and the others said them devilish Indians got two more white women yesterday, that's what they said," finished Flem. "They left by way of Roark's Gap again, too."

Becky said, "I guess my sickness is a blessing in disguise. I'd rather be dead than to have to endure what those women are going to go through."

Time went very fast from then on. One day in early spring, the sun came in so warm that Becky asked Flem to take her outside, as she believed spring had broke. He carried her out to the big oak tree and propped her up on her quilt with pillows. She saw robins, read birds, and blue jays busy building nests, a couple of squirrels, and their faithful old crows that always built a nest across the river in the tall sycamore. Liza and the other four little children picked dandelions and violets by the bunch and brought them to Becky.

"Flem," said Becky, "Do you see that little sycamore where the land is level? Please bury me there, put these flowers on my grave, and bring me that square green stone down by the river for my head stone. I love you all." Becky started to cough badly. Now, by the time Flem could put her to bed there was no breath left in her. Becky the second was gone to meet her Maker.

Liza ran as fast as her young legs would carry her to the Irishes' place. All out of breath, she managed to say, "Aunt Mandy, Momma Becky's gone. Would you all please come over?" Mandy said she would, Irish went to tell the neighbors. By sundown, the older ladies of the community had Becky "all laid out" as it was called, which was to bathe and dress her in her best clothes and high top button shoes, and comb her hair. The men helped Flem to make her coffin of dressed poplar boards he had been saving up. He insisted on doing it mostly himself. They all stayed for the setting up all night, and buried her the next morning at sunrise in the flat under the sycamore. They placed the green stone at her head. All summer Flem worked hard gathering roots and herbs in the mountain to sell to a man who traveled in a covered wagon from community to community. He bought them as well as all the furs he could buy in the fall.

Now back in those days where West Virginia was all the way to Cedar Bluff, it was all Virginia wilderness. Flem made it through that winter after Becky had died, but when it came spring again and his children put flowers on her grave, it was a little more than he could take. He gave away everything that he could travel without, packed up his five young children, and set out for the high mountains of West Virginia. He went back far into the wilderness where the soil was good and black and built them a cabin. Flem and the children gathered herbs and roots all summer. That fall, he explained to the children he'd have to make a trip to Pounding Mill to sell their herbs and furs. Liza was now 13, and quite grown up. Cousin Flem said for her to take good care of the children and not let them go away from the cabin, for the moon would be big and full so they wouldn't be afraid, and he would be back some time the next day.

So that evening Liza made them a pot of corn meal mush for supper. They took their wooden spoons and sat down in the floor. Liza took their three legged iron pot off the fireplace and set it on the floor, so they ate this for supper. The iron pot was all the had to cook in, so when they were through eating they just left the iron pot on the floor. Now, cousin Flem hadn't gotten around to making a door to the cabin - he said he would when he got back - so they hung a homemade quilt over the door and they went to bed. Their beds were bunks framed to the wall and woven with rope or hickory bark.

Now it was getting dark. They pulled the covers up over their heads to sleep. All the children had gone to sleep a short time later, except for Liza. Out on the ease point of the ridge, just behind the house, Liza heard the gathering call of the well-known timber wolf. She listened intently. soon another and then another - they were close now, and she began to be afraid. She silently woke the children and put them on the top bunk and warned them to be quiet. They stuffed the cover into their mouths to make sure one wouldn't cry out. They next thing they knew, the leader of the pack came sliding under the quilt. It was a large gray wolf with a ruff around its neck. The another and another, until all five have come in.

Luck and God himself were with the children. The wolves didn't notice the children, they were intent on fighting over the pot, which luckily for all them turned over and rolled out the door, down the hill, and into the creek. Liza and the children jumped out of bed, turned the heavy homemade table over, and put it and everything else across the door.

Now as all this was taking place with the children, Cousin Flem was having a bad experience of his own. By the time he'd left Pounding Mill and gotten to Amonate, he could tell by the way his horse was acting, it kept shying and stopping and shivering, that they were being tracked by a predatory animal. So when he go to the top of the first mountain he saw his quarry, a large yellow panther.

It seemed to be jumping from tree to tree and bank to bank. This kept up for miles and miles, until the back horse was almost given out. They had arrived almost home, at the edge of the clearning, when the great panther jumped out of the tree to jump on Flem, but it missed him and clawed the hors's hinquarters badly. Flem jumped down, ran into the house, got his muzzle load gun, and killed the panther.

When Liza got up that morning, she had to go down the hill and get her pot, which had been licked clean by the wolves. So after Flem was told of their horrifying experience, he made them a heavy door to do until cold weather.

Grandma had been praying diligently, as had Cousin Ellie, that he would bring the children back out of the wilderness for the winter. Their prayers were answered. Flem brought them back to Pounding Mill and never took then back. He would go, but never again with the children. He went every summer and gathered as long as he was able. When he brought them back the first time, he bought a three acre farm with a three room house on it in what is now known as Baptist Valley.

Liza never stayed married. She had gotten married after Flem died, but her husband wanted here to will her land over to him. She wouldn't, and ran him off. Before this, you see, Liza had stayed single and true to her promise to Becky, she kept house for her poppy and younger brother Jim, until Jim grew up. When Flem died in his late fifties or early sixites, it was learned he had willed the land to Liza. Flem had willed Liza his Civil War pension as well as the land. He left his whole little life's savings to young Jim - it was $900. At that time, it was a lot of money.

Now, along about this time everywhere you would look there were posters and advertisements, every one just alike, "Go west, young man, go west." After Jim having talked it over with some of the older men in Pounding Mill, he decided this was the thing for him to do.



Died:
Based on her will.

Notes:

Flem and Rebecca's father, Isaac Holbrook, possibly knew each other from the Civil War. They both served in Virginia cavalry units that served in the same places.

Regimental History

29th Regiment, Virginia Infantry

29th Infantry Regiment was authorized in November, 1861, and was to contain seven companies under Colonel A.C. Moore and three companies at Pound Gap. However, this organization never took place. Moore's five companies from Abingdon and companies raised in the spring of 1862 evidently made up the nine-company regiment. It was assigned to the Valley District, Department of Northern Virginia, then moved to Kentucky where it was engaged at Middle Creek. Later it saw action in Western Virginia and for a time served in North Carolina under General French. In March, 1863, it totaled 732 men. Attached to General Corse's Brigade the unit participated in Longstreet's Suffolk Expedition and during the Gettysburg Campaign was on detached duty in Tennessee and North Carolina. In the spring of 1864 it returned to Virginia and took its place in the Petersburg trenches north and south of the James River and ended the war at Appomattox. Many were lost at Sayler's Creek, and only 1 officer and 27 men surrendered on April 9, 1865. The field officers were Colonels James Giles and Alfred C. Moore; Lieutenant Colonels Alexander Haynes, William Leigh, and Edwin R. Smith; and Majors Ebenezer Bruster, William R.B. Horne, and Isaac White.

From the Past: A Massacre end happily

Many years ago, there were a young man and woman who lived somewhere along the banks of the Clinch River with quite a few other settlers. This chapter of Captain John Delong and his wife, Matilda, takes place around the early 1800's.

Late one evening a small band of Cherokee Indians had made camp for the night a short distance from the settlement down by the river. There was no love lost for the Indians by some of the men in the settlement.

These same Indians had been catching their fish in this spot for many years. This made no difference to the men, they wanted to kill them right then.

Captain Delong talked them out of it for the time being. Later that night, these men slipped out of the settlement and killed all the Indians.

The next morning, Captain Delong was told of the slaughter and was asked if he would help bury the indians before their cheif could find out. He said he would.

As the captain and the other men were finishing the clean up, the captain thought he heard a small dog whining in a teepee that had not burned but rather sat there, smoldering. Captain and Mrs. Delong could have no children, but he was found of animals and he hurried to the teepee.

Upon entering, he found, wrapped tightly in a cradle back pack, a beautful Indian baby. Almost overcome with joy, the captain hurried home.

With the glimmer of tears in his eyes, he said, "Tilda, I have for thee a present." Matilda too was overcome with joy.

She fed the baby cow's milk from a bottle that had been used to feed small animals from time to time. When she undressed the tiny being, she discovered it was girl. They kept her and named her Samantha Delong.

In due time, Samantha grew up and married a young man named Jack Pack. As their life progressed, they had a family of three girls and three boys. Their names were Sarah, Cynthia, Ellie, Bill and Flemming. These children grew up while another boy died at birth in the cold, long winter.

[Note: from http://burress.us

Michelle Burress' analysis:

This story has some inconsistencies and while I'm I believe there may be some truth to the story, there are a lot of things that are wrong which backed up with fact. I'm not sure if there as confusion regarding the names or a lot of fiction involved with the telling of the story. There is no evidence that a John DELONG married a Matilda, or that John PACK married a Samantha DELONG. Orman Delong and Sarah Reed seem to be the only resonable couple for a child named Matilda Delong that married John Pack. Orman and Sarah, however, also had many other children. John and Matilda did indeed have children named Sarah (who married a William Burress) Flem, Cynthia, Ella and William, but they also had other children. There is no evidence that either John Pack or Orman Delong were Captains in the Military or that any of these couples were unable to have children). However there was a John Delong listed in the military records of Montgomery county, in the same unit as Orman Delong. Have not figured out the connect yet. ~Michelle


EMAIL COMMENTS

"Isham and Flem were already born before they got married. I haven't been able to clarify if these are her sons from a previous marriage or his or if by chance they followed the custom of the time which was to set up housekeeping, and then when the 'circuit preacher' came around have a 'formal' marriage ceremony. This often consisted of the minister simply taking down the names of the two people and registering it at the courthouse." Info on him came from Kay Brown HIBWIFE@AOL.COM

John married Matilda Ann DELONG 31 Dec 1835, Floyd Co., VA. Matilda (daughter of Ormond/Orman DELONG and Sarah REED) was born Abt 1810, Patrick Co., VA; died Bef 1880, Tazewell Co. VA. [Group Sheet]

STORIES

Georgia Maud Quesenberry Maxfield, an 80 year old Tazewell resident (deceased), wrote these recollections of early Tazewell County life as told to her by her great-grandmother and her grandmother. Her Recollections appeared in the Tazewell Newspaper sometime in the early 1980's. Georgia was the daughter of George & Mary Frances Burress Quesenberry.

From the Past: A Massacre end happily

Many years ago, there were a young man and woman who lived somewhere along the banks of the Clinch River with quite a few other settlers. This chapter of Captain John Delong and his wife, Matilda, takes place around the early 1800's.

Late one evening a small band of Cherokee Indians had made camp for the night a short distance from the settlement down by the river. There was no love lost for the Indians by some of the men in the settlement.

These same Indians had been catching their fish in this spot for many years. This made no difference to the men, they wanted to kill them right then.

Captain Delong talked them out of it for the time being. Later that night, these men slipped out of the settlement and killed all the Indians.

The next morning, Captain Delong was told of the slaughter and was asked if he would help bury the indians before their cheif could find out. He said he would.

As the captain and the other men were finishing the clean up, the captain thought he heard a small dog whining in a teepee that had not burned but rather sat there, smoldering. Captain and Mrs. Delong could have no children, but he was found of animals and he hurried to the teepee.

Upon entering, he found, wrapped tightly in a cradle back pack, a beautful Indian baby. Almost overcome with joy, the captain hurried home.

With the glimmer of tears in his eyes, he said, "Tilda, I have for thee a present." Matilda too was overcome with joy.

She fed the baby cow's milk from a bottle that had been used to feed small animals from time to time. When she undressed the tiny being, she discovered it was girl. They kept her and named her Samantha Delong.

In due time, Samantha grew up and married a young man named Jack Pack. As their life progressed, they had a family of three girls and three boys. Their names were Sarah, Cynthia, Ellie, Bill and Flemming. These children grew up while another boy died at birth in the cold, long winter.

[Note: from http://burress.us

Michelle Burress' analysis:

This story has some inconsistencies and while I'm I believe there may be some truth to the story, there are a lot of things that are wrong which backed up with fact. I'm not sure if there as confusion regarding the names or a lot of fiction involved with the telling of the story. There is no evidence that a John DELONG married a Matilda, or that John PACK married a Samantha DELONG. Orman Delong and Sarah Reed seem to be the only resonable couple for a child named Matilda Delong that married John Pack. Orman and Sarah, however, also had many other children. John and Matilda did indeed have children named Sarah (who married a William Burress) Flem, Cynthia, Ella and William, but they also had other children. There is no evidence that either John Pack or Orman Delong were Captains in the Military or that any of these couples were unable to have children). However there was a John Delong listed in the military records of Montgomery county, in the same unit as Orman Delong. Have not figured out the connect yet. ~Michelle

[Note: There was a Josiah and Anne Spence that lived a few house away from the Pack's in the 1850 Census.]

Granny Spence's Witchcraft solution saves Cousin Flem

Sarah had a 17 year old brother, Flem. The closest neighbor was one we shall not call by name since grandma as well as everybody else said the old woman of the house was a witch.

She had several children, one was a girl about the same age as Flem, and she was madly in love with him. One evening as he walked home she met him and begain to flirt with him. Flem payed her no mind and left her standing in the road with hurt feelings. By the time he go home he had a sick headache.

Grandma stayed up all night with him. At her wit's end, she sent for another neighbor, Granny Spence, who was not afraid of witches. Spence went in to talk to Flem. She asked Flem if he had made any water since the headache began. He managed a weak no. She asked him if he had talked to the neighbor girl. He said yes, she had given him a bloom from a crab apple tree. She asked him what he did with it. Flem said he had put it in his shirt pocket.

Granny Spence reached over the bed and took it from his pocket. She then took a new piece of small silver coin from her apron pocket, wrapped the flower around it and swiftly cast them both in the flames of the back log of the fireplace.

She told grandma never to take the silver out, always put it back after cleaning the fireplace. Then she told Samantha to fill the three legged iron kettle with water and let it strike a rolling boil. She told her to take a tin dipper and pour a dipper at a time on the hearth, spreading it all around slowly, letting it fizzle and pop until it drys each time. According to Granny Spence, after half the water had been used, the maggots that would have eaten Flem alive would crawl out of the hearth.

This grandma did, taking special care to follow Granny Spence's instructions to the letter. Just as the old lady had told her, the wiggly creatures appeared. Samantha hurried and poured the remaining water on them then swept them up and cast them int the fire. Granny Spence told her when this part had been done, the guilty party would come and knock on the door and want to borrow something. She told her not to let her have anything, not even a crumb of bread.

After Samantha had burned the creatures, she went into the bedroom to see how Flem was feeling. Just then, the wicket neighbor came to the door and knocked. Grandma opened the door with her big homemade broom in her hand. The neighbor wanted to know if Samantha could loan her a cup of dry coffee for supper. Anger welled in grandma, she shook the broom at her and told her no, and never to come to her house again. By the next morning, Cousin Flem was good as new. Shortly after the wicket neighbor moved and was never heard from again.
