Rest in power, Marita Meyers Douglas.
Marita Janet Meyers Douglas was the youngest granddaughter of my great-grandparents John C. and Mary Agnes Holmes Allen. She passed unexpectedly, but peacefully, at her home in Maryland on July 9. My deepest condolences to her closest family and to all who loved her.

Henry W. McNeely, teacher.
I knew from oral history and the 1870 census that my great-great-great-grandfather Henry W. McNeely was a teacher during Reconstruction. Born in 1841 to John W. McNeely, a white slaveowner, and Lucinda McNeely, the woman he enslaved, Henry presumably learned to read and write during slavery. The document above is extracted from “List of School Teachers & School-buildings North Carolina” compiled…

Taylor applies for Battle-Cannon marriage license.
I happened upon the 10 September 1938 marriage license for Arthur Lee Battle, 21, and Dorothy Cannon, 18, in Wilson. My grandfather Roderick “Mike” Taylor applied for the license. What was his relationship to the couple? Was Arthur Battle, whose parents were William and Nora Battle, related to Taylor, whose maternal grandmother was Cherry Battle Barnes?

Another daughter of Aaron Seaberry.
I’m not sure how I missed this death certificate for Tabitha Hagans, another child of Aaron Seaberry! More soon as I explore this new clue.

Why the Holmeses went to Charles City County.
Why the Holmeses went to Charles City County.
I have so much incredible new information about my Holmes family, both in Charlotte and Charles City Counties, but haven’t had (or maybe taken) the time to sort out my notes. For now, this place marker, the earliest evidence of Jasper Holmes in Charles City County: Daily Dispatch (Richmond, Va.), 12 October 1869.

Gold.
Tonight my family celebrated the 50th wedding anniversaries of two of my cousins (who are brothers) and their wives. Another of their brothers and his wife, who came in from Maryland, hit 51 this year. My parents made 60 years in May. So did my uncle and aunt. I can tick off an easy dozen couples in the 25-49 year range and a couple dozen more that only death parted after decades. That this kind…

A great day in Charlotte Court House.
The freshly unveiled marker. “First, I’d like to recognize my family, Joseph R. Holmes’ family, here today — including three of his brother Jasper’s great-granddaughters. Some here may remember their uncle, Dr. J. Maxwell Allen, who practiced dentistry in Charlotte Court House. His sister, my great-aunt Julia, first told me of Joseph Holmes when I was an inquisitive teenager digging for my…

Rest in peace, Jasper Maxwell Allen, Jr. (1931-2021).
Jasper M. Allen Jr. My extended Allen family, which has always been small, recently lost its oldest member, my mother’s first cousin, Jasper Maxwell Allen, Jr. I never met Cousin Mack Jr., but for the last dozen years or so spoke with him once or twice a year by telephone. He was close to his beloved late wife Arnetta’s family, and I am grateful to them for this obituary: The late Jasper…
