General Notes: Narrative
JOHN STURGILL and his wife Jemima Wells made their first home in Ashe Co., NC near the forks of New River on land which his grandfather James then claimed. After the death of his grandfather in 1803, John sold his claim to his brother James in 1804. In 1806 John bought a tract of 156a in Grayson Co. VA which adjoined his father's land in Ashe Co., NC. This 156a was sold to Moses Halsey in 1812 at which time John is believed to have moved to Letcher Co, KY where he settled on the head of the Cumberland river. In 1816 he bought a farm in Lee (Wise) Co., VA from his brother James who had purchased the land in 1812 so it appears that the two brothers went there together in 1812. John later moved to Harlan Co., KY, then back to Wise Co, VA, then to Letcher Co, KY where Jemima died and was buried in 1856. John returned to Wise Co., VA during the civil war and settled in a small valley called "crackers neck". His descendants say that he died there soon after and was buried in the Robinett cemetery - no marker stone was found.
There is some question as to whether or not John married a second time after the death of Jemima, no marriage record was found. In the 1860 census of Letcher Co., KY John was living with a young woman named Jane who had a child age six named Araminda. Some of John's descendants say that Jane was also a Sturgill and John had hired her to help take care of Jemima in her last illness and that after the death of Jemima she continued to live with John as she had no place else to go. It is the opinion of the writer (DAS) that this story is essentially true.

John married Jemima Wells from 1798. Jemima was born from 1782 and died from Mar 15, 1856 at age 74.

74 F i. Rebecca Sturgill was born from 1799 in Virginia, United States of America.

General Notes: Narrative
James Sturgill Sr. and his wife Mary Herring first settled on a farm at the forks of New River which he bought from Marshal Davis in 1803. In 1812 he bought a farm in Wise Co. VA but it is doubtful that he ever lived there as census records show all his children born in NC. He sold this farm to his brother John in 1816 and bought a farm 1817 from Joshua Cox located on Jones Branch and the south fork of New River. In the census of 1830 he is shown in both Ashe Co NC and Scott Co VA but he could only have been there for a short time as he was back in Ashe Co in 1834. James and Mary both lived out their lives on the South fork farm and are buried in the old South Fork Church cemetery on Kings Creek. - p.49
It is family tradition that a son of James settled in KY but it is questionable whether or not Elijah was his son. The tradition may have originated from the fact that his son Daniel was apparently in KY for a time and returned to NC. - p. 49

General Notes: Narrative
Francis Sturgill Jr. and his wife Phoebe Weaver made their first home on a farm on the south side of New River at the forks. All of their children were born on this farm. Census and other records show that they lived there until 1830 when his family is shown in the census of Ashe Co. NC and that of Scott Co. Va. In 1832 he was granted land on the waters of the Little Sandy river in ? Co. KY and apparently moved there. He is not shown in any Ashe Co. NC records again until 1838 when he bought the remaining shares of his fathers estate known as the "Wells place", which he sold to T. Witcher in 1840. In 1839 he bought a plantation of 2500 acres on Helton Creek from William Perkins and moved there after he sold the original Sturgill homestead to Witcher. He founded the village of Sturgills in Ashe Co. Francis and Phoebe are both buried in the Zion Hill cemetery on Helton Creek. (formerly known as the Sturgill cemetery)" -p. 50
NOTE: In an interview with Isom Sturgill, son of Joshua, he stated that his grandfather had raised a niece. (indicated by census of 1820-30) Who later married a Price. This would have been Lydia Perkins daughter of Ann Sturgill and Timothy Perkins. He was an old man when they married.
In 1838 when the other heirs of Francis Sturgill Sr. sold their claim to the slaves to Francis Sturgill and James Sturgill jointly the bill of sale was signed by Lydia PRICE who could have been none other than the daughter of Ann Sturgill and Timothy Perkins.
There is some question about the identity of Elizabeth. She is not shown in the family of Francis in the 1840 census and she is not named in his will. She may have been an illegitimate daughter or a granddaughter. -p. 50

Many books, articles and biographies have been written about both the famous an infamous people who have become a part of American history. We can find plenty to read about inventors, politicians, outlaws and lawmen an d as we read we all form a mental image of these people. The images we form may or may not be accurate but we do see them as people. We find written material about them because they were a part of the history of our country but we should remember that they were only a part of it, the tip of the iceberg. Most of the unwritten history of America was made by ordinary people; the hunters and farmers who pushed the frontiers across the Blue Ridge mountains, across the rivers and praries, across the rugged western mountains and finally to the Pacific ocean, Joel Sturgill was such a man, he does not appear in any history books but he certainly helped to make some history.
History was made by those men and women who carved farms out of rough mountains, little valleys and open praries; by those men who built log forts and advanced civilization a few more miles; by those who hunted and fished to feed their families; by those who dared to seek new horizons; by those who joined the westward wagon trains and fought off indian attacks; by those who carried the mail on half wild mustangs; by those who drove the stagecoaches; by the merchants who founded the first towns and by the sheriffs and marshals who brought law and order to them; by the teachers and preachers who tried to educate their children and brought solace in times of trouble. history has always been made by those who dared and many of our Sturgill ancestors have been among them.
Joel Sturgill was born in 1786 in a log cabin about three miles below the forks of New River in present Alleghany Co. NC, the sixth child in a family of twelve. In 1807, the year he died, Francis Sturgill Sr. (father of Joel) bought a tract of land in present Ashe Co. NC near the Tenn. state line on Roundabout creek. Soon thereafter Joel Sturgill and his bride, Rachel Waters, built a log cabin on this land and made their first home there; this log house in which all their children were born is still standing. Joel passed this land on to his son Willilam, who passed it to his son Lewis J, who passed it to his son Mason, who passed it to his son Martin who is the present owner, the sixth generation of the Sturgill family to own and occupy this land.
There has been some controversy about the identity of Joels wife, Rachel Waters, which I hope the following will clarify. Shortly after the end of WWII my father and I went to Ashe Co NC to try to locate the land where Joel Sturgill had lived. We found the farm without any difficulty and there we met Mason Sturgill for the first time. On this trip, the first of several, I got little information because I could not get my father and Mason to stop talking long enough to ask many questions. He did, however, tell us about Rachel Waters. "Her father, John Waters, was a Frenchman who had married a Cherokee indian (other accounts say she was a Catawba but as the Cataba indians lived near the SC border at that time the Cherokee was probably correct) John Waters apparently cared little for his family as he spent most of his time away from them as he wandered around through the mountains, he eventually abandoned them entirely. Rachels mother could not care for the family of four sons and one daughter alone so neighbors took in some of them. They lived on Reddies river in Wilkes County. About 1800 a family named Lewis brought Rachel from Wilkes Co. to Ashe where Joel met her. The Lewis family settled down the creek a ways from here. Rachels mother died in Wilkes county about 1815, her father, John Waters died here in Ashe Co."
Wilburn Waters, the youngest brother of Rachel, attained some degree of fame as the man who explored the White Top mountain of Grayson Co, VA and the surrounding areas and wrote about the plants and animals of the area. A monument to him stands on the top of Mt. Rogers in the Grayson Highland State park. Shortly after Wilburn died in 183_ a man who had known him personally wrote a short biographical sketch of his life which has been used in several other books which have been written about Wilburn Waters. In this first sketch, and copied in several other publications, it is stated that Wilburn died in the home of his sister Zilpha Waters, the deed and census records of Ashe Co, NC show that this can not be correct. These records show that Zilpha Waters was the wife of Wilburns older brother, William Waters, who also lived in Ashe Co. Descendants of William Waters living in Washington Co. VA have verified this. Wilburn probably did die in the home of Zilpha Waters but she was his sister-in-law and not his sister. The only sister Wilburn was Rachel who married Joel Sturgill.
As further evidence of the identity of Rachel, she and Joel named their youngest son Solomon WATERS Sturgill and their oldest son William Sturgill named his first son WILBURN WATERS STURGILL after his uncle Wilburn. The names Wilburn and Waters also appear among the families of other descendants in Oregon and Washington who have been separated from other branches of the family for over a century know about their Cherokee indian ancestry.
From what i sknown of Joel Sturgill it is surprising that he did not become one of the historical figures of the early west now referred to as the "mountain men". An early marriage and immediate family was probably what kept him in the North Carolina mountains but even these bonds were too weak to hold him there. One must wonder even more why Rachel agreed to leave the beautiful Ashe Co. farm to move to the more rugged and less productive mountains of Scott Co VA, especially so as the youngest of their family of thirteen children was still a baby. Perhaps her indian heritage had kept the spirit of adventure alive in her blood. Whatever their reason for moving, they were enumerated in both Ashe Co. NC and in Scott Co. VA in hte census if 1830 which shows that they moved in that year. Their oldest son William and their oldest daughter Catherine either remained in Ashe Co. or later returned as both were married in that county in 1833-34. However Catherine soon joined the family in Scott Co.
William did not remain in Scott Co. if he went there at all, as public records show that he lived in Ashe Co. through 1842 and was in Carter Co. KY in 1844. In 1855 he returned to the Ashe Co. farm where he lilved out his life. In 1842 Joel and Rachel with five sons and three daughters and their families all moved again, this time to Sullivan Co. Missouri. Son Lewis remained behind in Scott Co. as did one daughter Mary Ann, who had married Joseph Harris. In 1843 Mary Ann and Joseph decided to join the others in Missouri so they both rode one horse bareback all the way to Missouri with only a burlap bag for a saddle. Their first child was born a month after they arrived in Missouri. In 1850, Joels son James George, who had gone to Missouri with the family, returned to the Ashe Co. farm where he remained until his older brother William returned in 1855, James then moved his family to Sutters Mill California where he followed the trade of blacksmith and where he lived out his life.
Two of Joels grandsons, George and William, went from Missouri to the gold town of Virginia City in Montana in the summer of 1863. The next spring they decided to return to Missouri. William stopped off in Denver on the return trip but George continued to Missouri. Rachel died in 1864 and was buried near Milan MO. In the spring of 1865 all of Joels sons and daughters in Missouri became part of a wagon train to Oregon. George Sturgill was the wagonmaster. Joel, decided that he was too old to make the trip so he returned to Scott Co. VA where he lived out his life with his son Lewis. He was buried in the Speer family cemetery on Rt 604 in Scott Co. VA
During his last years in Scott Co. Joel made several trips back to Ashe Co. NC to visit children, grandchildren and sisters still living in the area. During the late 1940's I interviewed a nephew and niece of Joel living in Alleghany Co. NC who both remembered him and his visits from Scott Co. Both of these described him as a very impressive looking man who looked like a "Kentucky Col." A great grandson of Joel living in Oregon had a picture of Joel which appears in the family album section of this history. D.A.S.

Research Notes: Narrative
DAVID STURGILL was the mystery man of the family of Francis Sturgill Sr. and Rebecca Hash. There is a tradition in two different branches of the descendants of Francis that he had six sons and six daughters - the fact that the family was evenly devided would have caused this to be remembered. Francis died intestate in 1807 and the shares of the estate were traded back and forth between his heirs several times before Francis Jr finally obtained all of them and sold the original homesite in 1839. These deeds identify eleven of the twelve children beyond dispute but no deed from DSavid was found. One deed made by William and Jane Jones specified their share as 1/11th which has led some to believe that htere were only eleven children in the family but as only the one deed specified the share as 1/11th there is another explanation for why it was so worded. This deed was made five years after Ann, sister of Jane, had died so Jane apparently did not consider the fact that Ann left a baby daughter who was the heir to her share. this share was share was signed over to Anns mother by Timothy Perkins, Ann's husband.
The 1810 census of Ashe Co. NC shows a male 16/26 and four younger females living with Rebecca, widow of Francis Sr. The male could only have been David as all his older brothers were married before 1810 and were listed as heads of households. David did not appear i the Ashe Co census of 1820 or 1830 or i any adjoining county but the name David Sturgeon was found in Crawford Co, IN in 1820 and it is believed that this was him. He did have both Sturgill and Hash cousins in Indiana at that time. This record shows David age 26/45 with a son and a daughter under 10. He was not found in the 1830 census but was back in the VA-NC area as his son Elijah was born in NC in 1831 and the next two children were born in VA, probably in Grayson co. He witnessed deeds in both Ashe Co, NC and Grayson Co. VA during the 1830's and was shown in the 1840 census of Ashe Co. with three children in the family, a daughter b. 1810/20 a dau. b. 1830/35 and a son b. 1835/40. He was a member of the South Fork Baptist church and served as Clerk of the church during the 1840's until 1847. He was not found in the 1850 census or thereafter and it is believed that he died before 1850 and was buried in one of the unmarked graves in the old church cemetery.
No record of land ownership was found and it is uncertain how he made his living. He was literate as shown by a handwritten deed he made for his brother Francis Jr. in 1834 so he may possibly have been a minister or a teacher. It is not known who he married but there is strong evidence that she was a Riuchjardson. Those known or believed to have been his children are listed.

Research Notes: Narrative
Ann was second wife of Timothy Perkins and died in childbirth. -p. 43
Census records and known birth dates of other sisters indicate that ANN STURGILL was born about 1794. Ann married Timothy Perkins Sr. (his second wife) about 1812 but no record of this marriage has been found. she apparently died as a result of childbirth in 1813 as Timothy signed over all his claim to the estate of Francis Sturgill Sr. to Francis Sturgill Jr. in that year.
In an interview with Isom Sturgill in 1948 (the grandson of Francis Jr.) he stated that his grandfather raised a niece who later married a Price. The 1820 census of his grandfather's family supports this statement.
Ashe Co. records show that in 1838 the other heirs of Francis Sturgill Sr. sighned over to brothers Francis Sturgill Jr. and James Sturgill jointly all their claims to slaves owned by Francis Sr. This deed was signed by Lydia Price who could have been none other than a daughter of Ann Sturgill and Timothy Perkins. pg 60
