CITY PROPERTY SOLD IN DEEDS RECORDED Realty transfers with the Vance Registry yesterday were two wHh city property changing bands. Clyde Scoggins sold Alex •S. Wat kins two lots °n Vance street for sl‘) and * onsiderations. Alley B. Young and wife sold R. W. Dixon and wife a *ot on Chestnut street for $1 and considerations. Grits and Gravel ♦. ♦»♦ By T. MOSES JONES Some days ago when the Jones Twins went with me over to Hen derson, we went by the lumber plant to call on our Cousins John B # Wat kins, Jr. He seemed very glad to see us, took us over to the house to meet his wife. She was formerly Miss Augusta McCully, of New Jersey. Then we went on next door to see his mother, who sat patiently in a rocker on the front porch. She has not been able to see for several years. His mother, now 86, was Miss Annie C. Bullock, and was raised at StovJU, and married John B. Watkins. I remarked that she resembled Cousin Bettie Booker, and found that tney were first cousins. She was a brides maid at Cousin Bettie’s wedding, when she was only fourteen. At the wedding supper was served a big turkey gobbler, garnished with part ridges . The intended gobbler flew into the pig pen and was devoured by same, and another gobbler had to be se;ured for the occasion. John Francis helps his father in the' lumber business and another son, Meredith, is head bookkeeper at the First National Bank. R. B. Green, the Metropolitan man. came by and spoke while we were talk ! ilig. He used to come over to, Oxford working some years ago. Then we crossed the street to thc City JFuel Company where Cousin John introduced me to Mrs, Kat! erine Ralston, thc young lady coal dealer. I told her some one should give her a big write-up in the American Maga zine, as I see lots of big business folks written up in it. And since that time I have at last received a nice letter, for this col umn from Cousin John, I have intend ed letting him proof-read it, but. havo not. So if I have mis-copied it, it is my fault, and not his. Here is the let ter: Cousin 'T. Moses: You keep asking about Oak Hill homes—l can’t go that far with you, but here is a story of “Tranquility,'' which is two-thirds of the distance towards “Oak Hill.” Captain William Daniel was governor of Ayre, Scot land, and later, in 1664,* he won an im portant victory in Spain, leading the English army. He moved 1669 to Middlesex Coun ty, Va. His descendents moved to Granville county, N. C. Os these, in 1760, Chesley Daniel and wife, Judith Christian, bought 1250 acres eight miles northwest of Oxford, on present Oak Hill road—whichthey named “Tranquility,” after their Uncle Travis Daniel’s home in The “Tranquility gi;av£ yard” i; is half a mile beyond the place and Frederick school on ;Side of the road, and here the above couple and many of their descendants are buried —also General Evans, 6f the Revolu tionary Army. Their home was just beyond the grave yard. This place was. left to son James Daniel, who, with wife, Ann Venable, (seventh, of fourteen children of Col. Nathaniel Venable of Revolutionary fame) lived at “Booker Place,” east of Soudan. James Daniel owned “Waterloo” also, and after his death, his two sons drew straws, and son James got Waterlo ) near Stovall (of which place you have written), and son Nathaniel Chesley Daniel got Tranquility. , He built a hew home west of the first place, where “Big Nat” Daniel now lives. He married, 1828, Nancy Bullock from Drewry, and had a large family. Their oldest daughter married Joseph Morton, of whom I am mak ing a separate story. Another daught er, Sarah Virginia, marrVed William H. Bl>yd, which is the Nat, Jim, John, Early etc. Boyd family of Townsville. Another daughter Frances Catherine married William C. Bullock, of near Stovall, and they are my mother’s parents. . The farm was divided about ,1870, and Nat B. Daniel got the home and land on west side of the road, and 1 his son “Big Nat” lives there now.- Capt. George Daniel got land on east side of road, and started “Moun-. tain View,” where his son, John. Da niel, now lives- Dr. Nat Daniel, of Ox ford; Greighton Daniel, of Stovall, and others were raised here. Capt. George Daniel got up a com pany during the Civil War, who elect ed him as th*air captain, and Clark’s history has a record of “Captain Dan iel waving his sword and urging his men forward in a battle.” John B. Watkins, Jr.” And let me say, “Many thanks!” for the nice letter.
