Another brick in the wall... Anthony King Sr.

MY 4th Great Grandfather Anthony King Sr. was born in New Jersey and married Dorces Pickle. His son Anthony Junior was the father of my 2nd Great Grandfather Mike King. It is unclear at this time who his parents were.

In the 1850 census he is living with his son and his family in Floyd, Virginia. There is no known records to connect him with any parents at this time, we call this lack of sources a wall in the family history blogosphere...

35. Clarissa "Betty" Richards Williams #52ancestors

My third great grandmother, Clarissa A. Richards Williams AKA Betty. Ancestor 35.

http://records.ancestry.com/Clarissa_Betty_Richards_records.ashx?pid=126138363

Born in Franklin, Virginia, USA on May 1827 to Christopher Richards and Nancy Moore. Clarissa Betty married James Henry Williams and had at least 2 children. She passed away on 1910 in Virginia, USA. 


Betty's husband was a professional gambler and was a CSA private in the Civil War and died as prisoner of war June 1, 1862. After Betty's husband and five of her brothers died during the Civil War, Clarissa hid one of her boys in a cave, to keep him from being drafted or caught and hanged by the "Home Guard."

Sometimes Isabelle would go with her to take him food. They would walk down a stream bed, so they couldn't be tracked. After the war, Clarissa went with her daughter and son-in-law, who was a minister, to Bluefield, West Virginia. She owned a large amount of land in Franklin County, bought with her husband's gambling winnings (but we have not yet located the land records).

 In 1910 at age 85, she was living with her son Noah H. "Hank" Williams in Montgomery County, Virginia. *

Rufus Samuel Nichols' Old Man's Draft Card

The year was 1942 and the selective service was registering older men for the draft. The 4th of 7 registrations was called the old men's draft because it registered men aged 45 to 64... My grandpa was about 49 when he registered.

WWII "Old Man's Draft" Registration Cards

Each card contains the registrant's name, age, birth date and place, residence, employer, and physical description. After Pearl Harbor, the U.S. initiated a draft that reached beyond younger age groups. This registration was not intended to be used for military service, but to provide a complete inventory of manpower resources that could be used for national service. Registration on April 27, 1942, included men not already in the military who were born on or between April 28, 1877, and February 16, 1897.
