8581 Nannie married William Johnson "Billy" Blair on 31 Dec 1863 in Pittsylvania Co., VA. He was the son of Drury Blair and Chloe T.

Billy Blair owned Stony Mill in Pittsylvania Co, VA. After Nancy and Billy married, her father Stokeley Carter bought the mill from Billy Blair (Pittsylvania Co., Deed Book 60, p. 171), and Nannie and Billy headed to Augusta, GA.

After Billy died, Nannie stayed in Augusta for a short while before moving with her children back to the Stony Mill Community in Pittsylvania County.

Nannie bought Stony Mill from her sister, and ran the mill until her death. After her death, her son Charles J. Blair owned and operated Stony Mill for about 20 more years.

Nannie died in Pittsylvania Co, VA. According to her obituary, she was returned to Augusta to be buried beside her husband.

Nancy is named for her grandmother Nancy Hutchings who married Thomas Carter in 1806. Nancy Hutchings Carter was the daughter of Moses Hutchings. Nancy died before her father wrote his will in Jan 1835. In his will, he referred to his deceased daughter Nancy Carter, wife of Thomas Carter. Her grave has not been located.

After her death, her husband Thomas moved to Missouri with most of their children. Sons James and Stokeley stayed in Pittsylvania Co., VA.

8585 Nat Wooding on Facebook
Re: Harry Wooding, Mayor of Danville, VA
A familiar name (Harry). I recently found a newspaper clipping saved by my father. It told of how Harry nearly burned down the then new office building by dumping the contents of his corn cob pipe in a wastebasket. My great grandfather, Thomas Townes Carter was in Co. A, 53rd VA and was wounded and captured at Cemetary Ridge.
Nat Wooding where was Thomas born?
Across the Bannister from Halifax. He is buried in the family cemetery there on the farm. He had a flesh wound in his left arm and was taken to a hospital in eastern PA near where my mother lived as a child. He was later exchanged at City Point and went back into service. His musket was never surrendered and one of my uncles hunted with it as a boy. I have seen it fired.
Nat Wooding oh I found him! He did go through Forts McHenry and Delaware then he was sent to Chester Hospital in Pennsylvania and was paroled 8/17/63. He was back on duty by 10/31/63, I believe.
He was extremely fortunate - an inch or so to the left and he would have lost his left arm. An inch or so to the right and it would have been a chest wound. According to my father, one of his brothers said that when he was hit, he put his hand inside his coat and found the bullet and threw it away and then realized what he had done. I have the sleave with the bullet hole.
Yup. Someone in the family labeled it. It may be of fabric woven at home. I've seen one other reference to people of that era saving artifacts: I once saw an interview between Fred Rogers and George Patton's daughter. She described how after her father was posted to Washingon, she and her mother went to pay the appropriate social visit to MacArthur's mother who was serving as his hostess since he was then divorced. They were greeted by an ancient lady and each of the women recounted their heritage and whom had served in what army. Mrs. MacArthur had a servant fetch a "jewelry box the size of a child's coffin" from which Mrs. M. extracted a broach in which was set a piece of the skull of one of her father or some other Yankee male. Getting back to the sleeve, I'm rather amazed that the tears (back and front) are still relatively small and that it survived. Of course, it was not like he could get a pass and go to Walmart and pick up a replacement.

8586 Nat Wooding on Facebook:
One night I did an ego search for Nat Wooding and found a 1929 or so diary entry that read "Nat Wooding delivered the mail today". My father was in the Army in Panama at the time so this Nat was his uncle who was a mail carrier around Straitstone. The diary was kept by an aged lady named Julia Brumfield who lived on a farm in that area. I wound up doing most of one of her diaries. On one occasion one or two of my Wooding great aunts came to visit (they lived nearby) and brought along a woman who I'm pretty sure was a Carter great aunt. One entry tells of one of her boys helping to dig my great grandfather's grave. Who knows what stories will emerge and old letters and such are scanned and transcribed. I urge anyone with family papers to have them scanned and preserved for posterity.

8587 Nathan Carter, h/o Betsy Adkins, served in the war of 1812. Carter, PATRIOT Nathan W. [Nathaniel] (I7159)
 
8588 Nathaniel Carter also makes purchases along with Philip Carter at the Sale of the Estate of Sarah Ann Terry (nee Royal) Carter, Nathaniel (I14115)
 
8589 Nathaniel Champness is the immigrant ancestor and likely involved with the Terry's and Wades closely related to the Terrys of early colonial Virginia. This researcher believes a marriage between the Terrys and Champness resulted in the name of Champness Terry, who is a near match in DNA to the Benjamin Terry clan. Terry, Under Sheriff Champness (I6004)
 
8590 Nathaniel Paul Green's Date of Birth is recorded as 25 Dec 1803. Paul named his daughter Winnifred Vaughan Green. Who is his Mother? Paul Green could be the son of any of Ann Pritchard Green's Daughters; however, he lives among the other assoicates of Berryman Green. -Mary Frances Eggleston Green, Nathaniel 'Paul' (I547450375)
