Martha Ann Jackson

Notes:

Martha Ann Jackson, d/o James Samuel and Judith Emmerson Jackson is the niece of Levi Jackson. Levi and his wife Ann Emmerson (sister to Martha's mother, Judith) had no children of their own and reared Judith's children after her death in circa 1828. Martha too, was probably in their household in the 1830 Census which shows one female child age 10-15 along with 6 other children. Levi and Ann had no children. Presumably these children are those of Ann's sister. It is likely that Martha named her eldest son, Levi for her uncle who helped raise her.
At the time of the 1880 Census they were living in Franklin Co., next door to Susan Bryant, proven to be a daughter of James, (sister of Martha Ann) Martha Ann is named for her mother's grandmother, Martha Walker.


Buried:

The 'modern' marker for Allen Gilmer and Martha Ann Jackson Reynolds was installed by Mrs. Ruth Mae Reynolds Marlowe, d/o William Barton "Bart" and Nancy "Nannie" Reynolds. Martha Ann Jackson was Ruth's grandmother.
Martha Ann Jackson is the daughter of James Samuel Jackson and Judith Emmerson. Judith Emmerson is the daughter of John Emmerson. Judith Emmerson DOB of 1787 is from an entry in the LDS IGI. She was deceased by Jan 1833 when James Jackson married a second time and two of her younger children were in the household of her sister and brother-in-law Anne Emmerson Jackson and Levi Jackson.

Notes:

Examination of the Census Records for 1900 and 1910 show
that Bart and his family are closely situated to the Joshua
Columbus Manning's (married his sister Mary Permelia
"Bettie" Reynolds. They are shown within two households of
one-another on each Census.

Born 28 Sep 1848 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, William
Barton Reynolds, was the fourth child of Allen Gilmer
Reynolds and Martha Ann Jackson. Bart was named for his
father's brother, William Barton Reynolds, Sr. (Barton), a
testament of his father's regard for his brother. The name
Barton first appears in our family when Bart's grandmother,
Sarah Philpott named Bart's uncle in 1827, after her
great-great grandmother, Elizabeth Barton Smoot, born in
1701.

"Bart" became his 'distinguishing name', very early. He
had two older brothers, Levi and James Samuel, each named
for his mother's father and his mother's brother; each
instrumental in her upbringing. Older sister Tabitha Ann
and younger siblings John Henry, Cephus Wilson, Elizabeth
"Bettie' and Texanna composed Bart's family. Texanna, was
born after her mother's brother moved to Texas, and was so
named to commerate the event.

We find no evidence of Bart serving in an official capacity
during the Civil War. Too young, to go away, he served at
home, with a thousand chores and fear everywhere. His
uncles, served in the Home Guard, their sons, so many of
them; gone to fight. Loved-ones left at home, to worry and
fear. Bart grows into manhood while the war rages and
claims his cousins. His brother, Levi, leaves home in 1860
to travel to Pennsylvania and marry; Levi is 23, Bart 12.
Brother James Samuel is 16, John Henry is 5 and Cephus is 2
years old. Sister Bettie is 9; Tabitha is 14 and Texanna
is 7. Levi is the only one of his siblings who will leave
Pittsylvania County to make his home.

During his 25th year, Bart marries the very attractive 18
year old Nancy Reynolds in about 1873. His brother James
Samuel "Jim" marries her sister Bet about the same time.
They knew them well. The girls are the daughters of his
Uncle Bartonnd Aunt Rutha Reynolds. Three other of the
girls also married cousins.

Bart and Nancy farmed on Barn Road in Callands. A family
photograph of their log cabin, taken in 1898 shows all of
their children except the last one, Buster, who was in his
mother's belly for the occasion. Bart is 50, Nancy, 44.
They have buried two newborn babies in the last 3 years,
and she is pregnant again. Their private cemetery marks
their sorrows; two infants graves, marked with fieldstones,
In another six years they will bury their oldest daughter.
Dead before her prime, grieved by her parents, siblings
and all of her grandparents, cousins, and a husband.

Weddings and births, christenings and parties mark the
years as they pass. They have 10 children living before
1900; eight will survive into middle age and most will
bring home their own babies.

Bart has had diabetes for a long time. He lost his right
leg below the knee; an infection that would not heal. The
disease would take its toll before his death, progressing
in a now predictable sequence of events; a disease that
would trickle down through his progeny for the next 110
years.

By 1910 the next generation has begun, and the last
generation is a beloved memory. Bart's mother and father
are dead. Nancy's mother and father died with a year of
each other, nearly 20 years earlier. Bart's oldest son has
a son; his eldest daughter is dead. Molly too has a young
son, and is about to remarry in Norfolk; Essie is settled
with several children; Missy is about to have her first
baby; Kate 29, has moved to North Carolina; Jim, 25, is
courting Sally Fannie Wells, and Claira and Ruth are
striking 18 and 20 year-olds, as yet unclaimed by mates.
Ford is 23 and Buster, his baby son is only 12 years old.

The next 100 years see his progeny increase, and the legacy
of this man's integrity, determination, faith, love and
respect find its way from his genes to ours.

Notes:

I have another story for you. The day John Henry Reynolds, his wife Sally Frances Wells Reynolds and children, Charlie Wade, Mary Ann, Tabitha, Bogie, Silas and Callie were moving from the cabin on John Henry's dads place(Allen Gilmer Reyno) there wasn't a bridge across Turkeycock creek so they had to lead the horse and wagon across. Mary Ann, the oldest girl was carrying the baby, Callie. She dropped her in the creek. Of course they grabbed her up and got her across. But I heard Aunt Mary Ann and Aunt Callie laughing and talking about it when they were old. Their Dad had bought a farm on Rd. 57 on the left just across the road from the CLCC parsonage (County Line Christian Church). When John Henry died the place had to be sold to pay off debts. Charlie moved the whole family across the road to Swanson place where they share cropped for about 18 years, I think. Then they moved to his Uncle Charlie Well's place in about 1936 and share cropped there until 1946 when he bought Grady store.

Happy New Year to you too. Who is this Betty Ann Grant? I knew Mable W. Merricks. Wes and I are good friends with her son Trent. That is John Levy Reynolds in the picture. Homer Reynolds is the one who was married to Callie Ark Reynolds. They had a shotgun wedding with my grandpa Charlie behind the gun. Rosco Reynolds was the result of that marriage. Homer went into the Army immediately after the wedding . He went to NY where he came down with the flu and died.

I knew some of the men in the picture. I remember Jabe Wells and one of my favorite people was Frank Fuller. He was our mail carrier for years, He had lunch at Grady store with daddy every day. I was always there in the summer. He had his wife, Nancy, a teacher at Callands , buy me a beautiful blue dress with a big white color with blue buttons on it for my 10th birthday. She or someone wrapped it up with a beautiful ribbon and he brought it to the store and gave it to me. It was such a suprise He was a sweet man. He and his wife only had one son and they didn't mix with the rest of the people in the neighborhood. I think that was his wife's doings. They lived in the house just up the road on the other side of the road from Jims store. It was a nicer house than any other around there. It also had a bathroom. Every body else around there had a johnny house. I used their gully as my shopping store for my playhouse because Nancy used a lot of creams and perfumes and things that came in pretty bottles.

Notes:

Was born in a cabin on John Reynolds Place, Callands, Va

Charlie Wade Reynolds: From 1946 until his death he was a
farmer, then a merchant who owned Charlie's Store in Grady,
Va. From 1915-1945 (from the age of 27) he lived on the
Swanson Place and Charlie Wells' Place.

For a year or two after he was married he and Annie lived
on his father's (John Henry Reynolds) farm, which was sold
after his death. The cabin was very cold in the winter and
in bad shape.

Charlie, Annie, Basil & their baby Edith, Charlie's
sisters, Callie & Tabbie and brothers Bogey & Silas then
moved to the Swanson Place which was just across the road.
Tabbie died from TB while living there. She was in her
20's and was engaged to a man from Danville. She was
buried on the Lee Reynolds place near her parents. They
stayed there until about 1936. The rest of the children
were born while they lived there (7). It was a beautiful
place surrounded with Cherry Trees. The children played in
the Turkeycock Creek and the woods.

Uncle Allen and Aunt Charlotte lived on the place too.
They were an old Black couple who had been slaves when they
were children. Annie said that she couldn't have "done it"
without Aunt Charlotte. Annie told many stories about Aunt
Charlotte and how she helped care for the children. Aunt
Charlotte lived in a cabin and cooked over a fireplace and
carried water in a churn on top of her head up a hill from
the spring. She also made ash bread, so called, because
the dough was placed on a flat rock and covered with ashes
and placed in the fire where it cooked. You then brushed
or cut off the ashes and ate the bread. J. W. Swanson
built his house where the cabin had stood (residence in
1930).

Hey girl, I can't get off this site of yours , love it. I found where I made a major screw up. I sent you a e-mail about James Fletcher Reynolds that said he is buried at Highland Burial Park. (WRONG) I got him and Joseph Cephus (Ceph) Reynolds mixed up. Ceph is buried at Highland. I went over and saw that stone a few weeks ago. All his information is correct. I also said that James Fletcher was a High Constable (WRONG) Again that was (Ceph) and this is what he was called not Joe. Fletcher only lived to be 33 years old and it is believed that he is buried in the Matthew Clay Wells cemetery since his parents are buried there. His wife is probably buried there too. She died a year after him.

E-Mail from Sandra June Reynolds Apri 2014

Hey girl, I can't get off this site of yours , love it. I found where I made a major screw up. I sent you a e-mail about James Fletcher Reynolds that said he is buried at Highland Burial Park. (WRONG) I got him and Joseph Cephus (Ceph) Reynolds mixed up. Ceph is buried at Highland. I went over and saw that stone a few weeks ago. All his information is correct. I also said that James Fletcher was a High Constable (WRONG) Again that was (Ceph) and this is what he was called not Joe. Fletcher only lived to be 33 years old and it is believed that he is buried in the Matthew Clay Wells cemetery since his parents are buried there. His wife is probably buried there too. She died a year after him.

Star-Tribune (Chatham, VA) - Thursday, March 4, 2004

Landon Edward Oakes, 392 Oakes-Stanfield Road, Chatham, died Saturday, Feb. 28, 2004, at his residence.

Born in Pittsylvania County on Jan. 27, 1924, he was a son of the late Henry Austin Oakes and Lou Emma Reynolds Oakes.

Mr. Oakes was a retired dairy farmer from the Callands community who owned and operated one of Virginia's largest dairy farms until 1988. Active in the dairy industry for over 40 years, he retired in 1988. During those 40 years he served his fellow dairymen on many local, state and national dairy boards and was often asked to give Congressional testimony on behalf of his fellow producers.

Mr. Oakes was a veteran of World War II and was wounded while serving with the 6th U.S. Marine Division at the battle for Sugar Loaf Hill in Okinawa, Japan.

In 1987 he returned to the island to help dedicate a joint memorial to honor those who died on both sides.

Mr. Oakes often stated that one of the greatest honors of his life was reading Bible scriptures and giving the benediction at that service, and believed that the memorial illustrates that peace is more powerful than war. He was a faithful member of Liberty Baptist Church where he served as a deacon and Sunday School teacher, and was active on many committees.

He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Ollie Hodnett Oakes, and 22 nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by three brothers, Henry N. Oakes, J. Clyde Oakes, and Walter S. Oakes; five sisters, Pearl Oakes Gregory, Daisy Oakes Edwards, Louise Oakes Hamer, Viola Oakes Geier, and Gladys Oakes; and four nieces and nephews.

The funeral was held at 11 a.m. Wednesday at Liberty Baptist Church, Callands, with the Rev. Darryl Joyce officiating. Interment was in Highland Burial Park with military rites by the American Legion Post 1097, Danville.

The family suggests in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to the Liberty Baptist Church Building fund or the Callands Volunteer Fire Department.

Notes:

Virginia Pittsylvania Co. Heritage Book 1767-2004 Paragraph
900 Robert Edwin and Nannie Richardson Kendrick Reynolds.
They were married on 3 Feb 1934. Nannie, the d/o William
Thomas Kendrick and Mary Mays, and Edwin, the son of John
Levi Reynolds and Emma. After their marriage they moved
into a one-room cabin on John Levi's place and produced
their first son Wesley 20 Jan 1935. That spring they moved
about a mile to a one-room cabin, with a loft and lean-to,
on Witchia A. Finney's farm. They farmed as tenant tobacco
farmers for about 12 years. They used a black pot to make
lye soap, heat water for baths and to can foods.
"Whitewash" was brought from a pit nearby and 'daubed' on
the inside of the cabin walls. Wewin cut his wheat with a
hand cradle (sic), and a group of men with a 'combine'
would come through the county each year and 'thrash' the
wheat to be ground for flour, hog feed, etc. Cider making,
corn 'shuckings, and 'pig pickins' were fall activities.
Three other children, Janice, Jackie and Betty Lou, were
born there. Those cold winter nights caused a lot of
snuggling. The children slept in the loft and sometimes
snow would blow in, between the logs and would cover the
bed and floor. In 1947 Edwin bought an 80 acre farm, with
a 4 room frame house and no electricity or plumbing, about
a mile south, from Johnny Fuller, with the help of an
uncle, Witchia Finney. In 1948 Edwin went to work at Lee
Telephone Co. Edwin retired at age 62 and he and Nannie
lived out their lives on the place, in much the same
life-style as in the beginning, until their deaths 7 Aug
1997 and Nannie's in 3 Aug 1999.

Sandra June Reynolds
Movher lived to be 93. She was so meek and patience with everyone. She worked so hard all her life, cooking, milking and taking care of all her family. Her mom died when she was about 12 so she quit school to take care of her brothes and dad. After her dad married again, her stepmom insisted she return to school. She went as far as the school taught. Her teacher told her that she had taught her every thing she knew. When she married , her husband's mom had also died so she took care of her father-n-law and two brother -n-laws and three sister-n-laws. Of course they pitched in and helped. She had 9 children. The oldest boy was killed in WWII. When most of her children were grown, she started raising grandchildren. I was the first! Everyone that knew her loved her. I still think of her several times every day.

Notes:

I wrote a poem called, Precious Memories about Wilbur.
Here it is

His leaving has left an empty spot within my heart
where no one can ever take his place
but thank God for the precious memories
and a mind that can conjure up his face.

He filled many shoes for me as I was growing up.
That of an uncle, a close friend,
a dear brother, and so many times a loving father.
To friends his ear, he was always willing to lend.

He saw beauty where others saw none,
His talent as an artist was well known,
He heard music when some heard nothing,
He was misunderstood and sometimes walked alone.

He would listen to every ones problems
and not a criticism would he offer
but let you talk your way through them
until the problems seemed softer.

The children remember him for all the silly times
he made them laugh, these memories we can never rob
for he loved to tease dogs and children and ask,
"Do you think the rain will hurt the rhubarb?"

He loved and cared for so many of us
with his gentleness of a butterfly.
As long as we have these precious memories,
the Wilbur we knew will never die.
Sandra June Reynolds E-mail (2011)

I thought of the story I told you about Allen Wilbur
Reynolds, my uncle the painter. You took a picture of the
painting in Bassett. It's the one that has a boy sitting
on a horse. This was at Dr. Richardson's office in Mt.
Valley, VA. They was Wilbur. He was running in the hall
at school (Callands school) bare-foot and got a huge
splinter in his foot. When he got home his brother, Basil
I. Reynolds (was killed in WWII) took him to the Dr.
leading him on horseback. The heavy man was the Dr. I
meant to take you up to see the Dr's place. It was
restored by Max Kendall and sold to the present owner who
lives there. It's only a mile above CLCC. Wilbur was an
interesting fellow, very handsome and very talented. He
taught himself to paint and also to play the mandolin. He
was very good at both. He had a crazy since of humor and
his best friend from childhood, Clifton Aaron was just as
crazy. Clift lived in Roanoke and only visited Callands in
the summer as a child. He came to stay with his Aunt
Tabbie Aaron Coward but usually stayed with our family.
The two of them learned to play musical instruments from
mail order instructions. They build a small cabin with a
fireplace and slept there and cooked over the fireplace
when they were kids. They visited each other a couple of
times a year after they married and always sat around
playing the guitar and mandolin. They mailed an old dirty
sock back and forth to each other for years on Christmas
and birthdays. They were like two crazy kids all their
lives. They both died young. Wilbur was only 62 and Clift
was younger that that. Wilbur also build an airplane. Of
course it wouldn't fly but it was quite the conversation
piece, since it was covered in canvas and he had it hanging
in a tree. One person could sit in it. He loved to tease
children by pretending he had a baby chick in his hands and
a lot of other crazy things. A very good friend of his,
George Wells, who played the guitar with him had a
recording made into an album in memory of Wilbur. They had
taped themselves often and the tape has children talking in
the background but it is a great keepsake in memory of
Wilbur.

Wilbur Reynolds was a painter. His paintings can be seen
at the Bassett Historical Society in Bassett, Virginia.

Notes:

Nelson had no children but helped raise eleven. Four from
his first marriage and seven from his second marriage. He
retired from the Air Force in 1967 and then worked on the
same base, doing the same job for another 25 years.
Mary, Nelson's first wife, had three children when they married. Janice, Buddy (Nelson), and Joe. Their last name was Perry, but they took the Reynolds name until Mary and Nelson divorced. But before that Janice had a child out of wedlock that they raised. Can't remember his name but it was a boy, Mary took him with her when she and Nelson parted ways, He was 8 or 10 years old. Nelson then married Peggy who had 6 children. Turns out he adopted the three youngest. Richard, Tony and Shelby. One of the older ones, Newell ended up moving back in with them until Nelson's death. The other two, Michael and Sharon didn't spend much time with them. Anthony (Tony) married a girl in the military, she had a baby, Phillip and couldn't keep him with her so Tony brought him home to Nelson and Peggy. They raised him and Nelson was absolutely crazy about him. This young man's last name is Reynolds. He went into the Air Force, like his papa. He ended up getting his hand or arm hurt pretty bad in the military. Don't know the details. -Sandra June Reynolds
