_______________

Direct descendant of Spiers Walters and Lydia Stamps. The
Caswell County community of Blanche was named for her (by
her father who was the first postmaster at Blanche).

"I was about to give the same guess [as to the person for
whom Blanch, North Carolina was named], although I didn't
know that Blanche Moore's father had run the post office.
Blanche Moore was a cousin of my grandmother's, Lydia Anne
Watkins, and they were very close. I remember visiting
"Cousin Blanche" as a child when she lived in the house the
Moorefields own now. She was quite a lady, and Blanch can
be proud to be named for her! My grandparents built the
house in Blanch that Wayne and Linda Bray now own, and they
raised a family of 11 children. After he turned his dairy
farm over to a son, my grandfather also ran the post office
and train station there. It was before my day, but have
heard many stories of the "hobos" who road the trains
during and after the depression and stopped in the area. My
grandfather bought some beautiful pieces from peddlers who
rode through (former shop owners who had lost all but their
merchandise). Some of those things have been handed down
through the family."
