SPENCER GOAD	October 19, 2000 SPENCER, GOAD Here's the family story: Robert GOAD was supposed to be one of John Sevier's long riders (FACT: they were indeed cousins). While in Buncombe County, he met and fell in love with Isabelle (SPENCER?) an indentured servant. They eloped and fled to Robert's farm on Big Reed Island River in what is now Carroll County ,Va. Supposedly, Isabelle's "master" tracked her down, but when he found her she and Robert had several little children her "master" released her and went home without her. (FACT: Robert and Isabelle were on the farm in 1786). Everyone pretty much agrees with the legend to this point; but sometimes she is an 'indentured servant from England' but speculation is that she may have been Melungeon or possibly Mulatto. My question is this: Were there SPENCER's in Buncombe in the late 1700's? Does anyone have any family stories about the relative that "ran away?" Any information GREATLY appreciated! Janice Hudnall

Goldsmith Justus	September 7, 2000 The 1910 U.S. Census of Asheville lists my great- grandmother, Margaret JUSTUS, with her son (my grandfather), 11-month-old Harry JUSTUS. Later that year, Harry was indentured to David Foster Stevens and his wife Joseph(ine) Dillingham Stevens. Harry Justus then became Harry Stevens. We have no information about the birth mother, Margaret (Maggie) JUSTUS, except for a copy of the indentureship contract. The 1910 U.S. Census lists Margaret JUSTUS and son Harry living in a house at 143 Broad St. (at the time, near Central and Charlotte streets) in Asheville. The head of this household was William W. GOLDSMITH, a jeweler originally from Spain. Margaret JUSTUS was listed as a servant. According to the 1900 U.S. Census, William W. GOLDSMITH was married to Emily and they originally had six children: Stella, William W. Jr., Alda (Alma?), John, Mercedes and Carlos. We have looked in censuses, cemetery records, civil records, etc. ut have found no record of Margaret JUSTUS other than the 1910 Census. We are hoping that some descendent of her employer may have information about her. The 1910 Census also lists Margaret JUSTUS as having two other living children besides my grandfather Harry. Any information about these children would be greatly appreciated as well. If you have any information regarding this GOLDSMITH family or Margaret (Maggie) JUSTUS and her children, please contact Rachel

Patton
Kennedy
Mallory
Jarrett
Bowman
Mulkey

September 7, 2000 I have read with fascination the information on the various Pattons in this site. For years I have searched for a KENNEDY/PATTON connection which I believe exists possibly from VA or GA. Reasons: #1 My grandfather was Charles Patton KENNEDY. No one I know of in the family with the name of PATTON. He was the son of William Mallory KENNEDY. #2. The grandmother of William Mallory KENNEDY was Dorothy MALLORY who had married Robert JARRETT and when he died 1785 Dorothy m Charles KENNEDY of Pendleton Distr. SC. Dorothy MALLORY was the daughter of William MALLORY of Culpeper Co., Va and sister of Ann MALLORY who m Col. John C. PATTON of Buncombe Co., NC. #3. After the death of the father, James KENNEDY, the orphaned children, William Mallory KENNEDY (above), Dorothy, Mary Ann, and Charles KENNEDY were with John M. PATTON in Gordon Co., GA in 1850. I do not know who this PATTON was or what his relationship to the Kennedy children might have been. Nearby in Gordon Co. GA was a BOWMAN family and the other child of James KENNEDY, George, was listed as an "inmate" there along with a girl named Sarah MULKEY, whom he later married. Last, not least, but perhaps connected was John Patton KENNEDY who was b in Habersham Co, GA ca 1829. There were Kennedy's in Habersham about that time along with the stepson of Charles KENNEDY, Devereaux Jarrett of the Travelers Rest history. The family of John Patton KENNEDY left Habersham and was later in Gordon Co., GA about the time John PATTON was there and the children of James KENNEDY. Later, John Patton KENNEDY and family were in Albertville, AL where they remained till they died and are buried there. The KENNEDY family (Charles and Dorothy Mallory KENNEDY) left SC and were in Madison Co., AL ca 1809. These may all be just coincidence, but I have not found any easy way to make a connection. Hoping someone can be able to tell me if they know of any connection whatsoever to the Kennedys and Pattons. The father of John PATTON of Gordon Co., Ga was said to have been born in Ireland. John PATTON was in Spottsylvania or Pittsylvania, VA before going to Gordon Co. GA. I believe he was most likely married more than once, but he apparently married a HARRIS the first time around. Any information or clues will be deeply appreciated. Geri Kennedy-Young

I may have been born in another NC county. My original birth certificate was replaced with a Buncombe Co. birth certificate naming Richard Charles and Pearl Keenan Hohnbaum, my adoptive parents, as my parents on the new birth certificate. This would have been in the late 1920s. I met my birth mother before her death and several of my siblings. The other children born to my mother and dad are now all deceased. They are: Earnest Gaines, Robert Bobby) Gaines, Thelma Gaines and Hoyt Gaines. I have a living half- sister Patricia Cook-Baker still living. Our mother married a man named Mr. Cook after my dad's death. I believe my dad died when he was about 32 years of age. I have been told that my family may have come from around Hendersonville. My dad, Hoyt Gaines, was a stone mason. He and my mother were said to be from 'up in the mountains' according to stories I was told. My mother, Janet Davidson, was one of a family of girls. Some of the other girls names were Nandina and Minnie. I am so eager to know more of my family to pass on to my five children and eight grandchildren. If you have any information about the Gaines and/or Davidson families from up around Henderson, please share it with me. I am now 74 years old and am hopeful that I can learn more about my birth family while I am still on this earth. Thank you for your help.

MELTON	Thu, 20 Apr 2000 -- My Melton family (at that time) started with my grandfather, Allen Leroy Melton. I've since learned of my ggrandfather, Littleberry W. (or William Littleberry) Melton and wife, Mary Leigh Archer Melton. (Not a very big step for having worked on this for several years,) Both Littleberry and Mary Leigh were born in Petersburg, VA, according to various records. In time for the 1850 census, they moved to Morganton, Burke County, NC. (Littleberry is supposedly buried there, but I was unable to find where.) I've never been able to find the parents of Littleberry and Mary Leigh--partly because of burned records. Anyway, while researching at OBCGS, by accident, I ran across a report in "The Heritage of Old Buncombe County," (I believe I read it because of its reference to Burke Cty.) It was #241, on James Erwin, who owned and lived at "Bellevue," a very large estate near Morganton. Do you know of this estate? The author was W. Clark Erwin. In the article, he states that "the house was built on a hill overlooking the Warrior Fork and Catawba Valeys. The entire hilltop was planned and laid out by an English landscape architect named Melton." This may be the reason I've been unable to locate Littleberry. Perhaps, even though he always gave Petersburg as his place of birth (and this may be correct), he might have come from England with his father. Could that father have been the English architect mentioned by W. Clark Erwin? Perhaps it's merely coincidence, but my grandfather, Allen Leroy Melton, was also an architect (not the one in the book. Allen was born in either 1848, the year James Erwin died, or 1852.) Do you happen to know if W. Clark Erwin is still alive, and, if so, where he lives? I need to track this down. Also, is Bellevue Plantation well known? Are there likely to be other writings about it? I'll very much appreciate any information you might be able to give me on this. I've really hit an ongoing brick wall. Audrey Melton Althaus althaus@earthlink.net

His 1923 death notice in the South Pittsburg TN newspaper reveals that- shortly after his discharge from the Union Army- he loses his eyesight and then lived for nearly sixty years as a blind man.` `The RAULSTONE family is closely associated with the Murray, Bible and Beene families in that out of the 7 children of George Washington Bible and Catherine Speegle Bible of Marion County TN., 5 of the children married Raulstones, 1 married a Beene and 1 married the above mentioned William R.

I will be more than happy to pay for time, postage and copy expenses. Recently, I found an obituary in the Denni Hlasatel daily newspaper, (Chicago, ILL) for my Great Uncle Frantisek (Frank) Doskocil who died in Black Mountain, NC on 31 December 1931. His body was sent back to Chicago for burial. Up to now, I have had no other information about my G.U. other than the fact that he was married to a lady named Marie and they had two daughters named Mildred and Eleanor. I have no idea why he was in N.C. on New Year's Eve since no one in the family ever spoke of his leaving the Chicago area. Is there any possibility that a death certificate might exist in N.C. for him? Perhaps a death notice in a local newspaper? The obituary in my possession states only his wife, daughters, and siblings names along with his place of burial in Chicago. I would be interested in knowing why he was in NC, how he died, anything that could help me get to the heart of his time in NC. Once again, I will pay all costs involved in gathering this information. I'm grateful for any help you can offer. Beverly Aylor, Madison, Virginia. baylor@ns.gemlink.com
