CHAPTER III
THE NUCKOLLS FAMILY
The early history of our country tells us that the first permanent English colony in America was established on the coast of Virginia in 1607. Montgomery's English history says, "A London joint stock company of mer- chants and adventurers or speculators established the first permanent English colony in America on the coast of Virginia in 1607, at a place which they called James- town in honor of the king."
The tradition in the Nuckoll's family is that three Nuckolls brothers came from York, England, in this company of colonists. They were merchants, and their names were John, James and William. From one of these brothers, John Nuckolls of Louisa county, was descended. John Nuckolls married Mary Garland about 1776. Mary Garland was the daughter of Robert Garland (4) of Louisa county. Robert (4) and Edward (4) were sons of John Garland of Garland's Neck, and were the founders of the Louisa branch of the Garland family (see chapter on Gailand family). Mary Garland was a member of the Episcopal Church, and her prayer book, which was printed in MDCCLXI (1761), has been handed down to her children and grandchildren until it is now in the possession of the author of this book, who is her great- grandson. In this prayer-book there is a record of the time of births of Mary Garland and John Nuckolls, and the names and time of births of their nine sons and one daughter. Following is a copy of the record:
"Mary Garland, born March 20th, 1755.
"John Nuckolls, born July 12th, 1755.

"9th. Ezra Nuckolls, born March 28th, 1798."
There is also a record given of the births of fifteen negroes belonging to John Nuckolls, and twelve negroes belonging to Mary Garland. Of this number, none were sold out of the Nuckolls family, except two men who were sold to men who owned the wives of these two negro men. Several of the descendants of these negroes are now living with and working for the descendants of John Nuckolls and Mary Garland.
All the children of John Nuckolls and Mary Garland were born in Louisa county, Va.
In 1780, Charles Nuckolls moved to Southwest Vir- ginia and entered one thousand acres of land on New River and Cripple Creek, and others of the Nuckolls family followed him. About the year of 1790, John Nuckolls' family came from Louisa county and settled on New River and Meadow Creek near Greenville or Gray- son C. H. At the same time, Charles Nuckolls, who was a cousin of John Nuckolls, moved from Cripple Creek to Meadow Creek, near Greenville.
The land entered by Charles Nuckolls on Cripple Creek is now owned by John P. M. Simmerman and others. Nathaniel Nuckolls, son of John Nuckolls, owned a part

of this land, lived there, brought up his family, and died in Wythe county.
Charles Nuckolls married first a Miss Garland of East- ern Virginia; they hado nes on, Robert. His second wife was Mary Black. From this union there were three sons: John, who moved to Kentucky; James, who moved to Missouri, and Charles, who died single; and five daughters, Betty, Sally, Polly, Susan, and Nancy.
At that time this country was Washington and Mont- gomery District. Wythe county was formed in 1790, and in 1792 Grayson was formed from Wythe, taking in the south side adjoining the State of North Carolina. (See records of the first courts of Grayson county, 1793.)
Charles Garland, brother of Mary Garland Nuckolls, came with his sister's family from Louisa county to Grayson. He died single and is buried in the Nuckolls cemetery in Grayson county. John Nuckolls and his wife, Mary Garland, went back to Louisa county, died, and are buried there. Of the nine sons of John Nuckolls, seven of them settled in Grayson county. The daughter, Patsy, or Martha, married Maj. James Anderson, of Albemarle county, Va. They established a home and reared a family in Grayson. Both are buried in the Ander- son cemetery near Galax, Va. Descendants of Maj. James Anderson live on the Anderson estate near Galax, Va.

Two of the daughters moved to Nebraska and died there; the other two daughters are living single. Calvin Nuckolls moved to Nebraska. Kent Nuckolls had four daughters. The first daughter, Cynthia, married James B. Johnson, lived and died in Hillsville, Va. (See following obituary):
"Mrs. Cynthia (Nuckolls) Johnson, widow of James B. Johnson, died Monday, and was buried Tuesday afternoon, age seventy-eight years.
"After a long, busy and useful life, she died as she lived, honored, trusted and loved. She reared her own monu- ments while she lived, in the hearts of all who knew her. Life completed if work all done, and well done, consti- tutes completion. Her Christian life was beautiful from its beginning to its close, and through all vicissitudes and sorrows that she met in the way, her faith in God never wavered.
"None ever entered her home without a warm welcome, nor left without feeling the warmth of a genuine hospi- tality, so characteristic of the people of her ancestry. Disease did not destroy the charm of a kind, indulgent disposition, nor old age diminish unselfish solicitude for her friends and loved ones.
"The deceased was the mother of a large and gifted family. Impressive funeral services were held at the home after which all that was mortal of this grand old mother in Israel was tenderly conveyed to our Silent City, where by the side of a devoted husband she now rests in peace."-Carroll Journal.

"Mrs. Johnson was a daughter of Andrew Nuckolls and Celia Jones Nuckolls. Their ancestors were English, and early settlers of Virginia. Nathaniel Nuckolls, father of Andrew Nuckolls, was one of the pioneer settlers of Wythe county. Maj. Abner Jones, father of Celia Jones Nuckolls, was also a pioneer settler of Grayson county. These families have done much for the development of this section.
"Mrs. Johnson was very much interested in all that was for the interest of both church and state, loved her friends and was kind to a!l.
"The pall-bearers were her nearest relatives. Four sons-in-law, James Early, Fulton Green, W. D. Tomp- kins and James Cooley, of Knoxville, Tenn., Judge Robert Jackson, Bernard Early, Rev. B. F. Nuckolls, and Dr. C. D. Nuckolls."

Rev. Robert Sawyers Sheffey was a son of Daniel Sheffey by his first wife, Miss White, of Abingdon, Va. He was a local Methodist preacher of the Holston Con- ference, a man who had some eccentricities of character, but whose unbounded faith in God, and good works among his fellow-men made him widely known through- out Southwest Virginia. He was a man who had power with God in prayer, and the writer knows of many strik- ing and direct answers to his prayers.
In Robert Sheffey's time there was much illicit distil- ling of whiskey in the mountains of Southwest Virginia and he was the enemy of the traffic. At one time he prayed for a certain distillery to be removed, and a water spout burst just above it, and left not a trace of the plant.
71

He prayed for specific things, and God honored his faith by giving him what he asked for. The wicked trembled when he prayed for justice to be meted out to wrong- doers, and many were brought to repentance through the influence of his prayers. Mr. Sheffey first married Miss Swecker, of Wythe county; they have children living in Wythe county. His second wife was a Miss Stafford, of Giles county; they have one son, Edward Sheffey, who lives in Lynchburg, Va. He is a man of fine character, and honors the God of his father.

The plantation on which Nathaniel Nuckolls first settled is now owned by the Catron family. Rev. S. S. Catron, of Holston Conference, was brought up on this farm.

"Richmond, Aug. 11-Information was received here today of the death of Robert R. Nuckolls, well known throughout newspaper, printing and labor circles for more
72
PIONEER SETTLERS
than half a century. His death occurred yesterday after- noon in Louisa county. He was 72 years of age.
"Major Nuckols, as he was called, was a type of the Virginia gentleman. He was born, however, in Alabama, coming to Virginia at the close of the war, when his regi- ment was disbanded in this state. He was in prison when the war ended, but came to Hanover county. He was connected with the old "Whig" and afterwards with the "State." He traveled the state for the last named paper, working in its circulation and advertising depart- ments. He had experience in almost every branch of the profession. He was editor-in-chief of the "Star," remaining with that paper until it suspended.
"Nuckols worked with the Richmond Journal until health failed him. He married Miss Swift, of Louisa county, after the war. His wife died four years ago. Respected and esteemed throughout the state, where he was widely known, his death is regarded as a loss to the newspaper profession of the state."
