LEGG

(Znglish) There is cn record during King Henry VIII's reign,

one "Thomas Legg," Master Cook of the King's Kitchen. He is

renembered for his fine cuisine and hot temper and large family!

Also in King James's court was a "Robert Legg"--owner of a

tavern off Fleet Street, just a block or two from Queen's Gate,

who was a cook for the court and owner of the tavern, where he

served the best wine in London, Chat he made himselfalso for

his roast duck was he well remembered. He left nine sons and

he was known for his courtly manner and hot temper!

There was also a branch of the Legs from the area of Lock

Ness, still there today, a picture in the National Geographic

shows a Robert Legg from Lock Ness,with a radar setup and bin-

oculars watching for the monster of Lock Ness in 1973 issue.

Over the years a large amount of them migrated to Scotland,

during, the religious persecutions and from Scotland came to

America, landing in Jamestown in the 1600's. When George

Washington made his survey Into what is known as West Virginia,

many of them followed and settled about the time of the ending

of the Revolutionary War. One family was of Thomas Legg.

There was a natural huge salt lick in the area where deer came

to get the salt and one settler killed a record-setting deer--

ac they gave the area the name "Buck Lick"--still known to the

old-timers but mostly forgotten today. The Leggs seen to beget

large families and a predominance of boys, so there are still

large branches of the family living in that area. The name

Thomas and Robert seem also to be a favorite.



The following version is helciaTit- taken from a chart sent me by Mrs. Deitz-not a

/ descendant.Thomas 01 m Sarah Davenport - had land grant Richmond Co., Va. - 1728Removed to Pr. Wm. Co., Va. before 1782 - Tax rolls

parents of the boys who moved to Nicholas Co. & with them was hero 6 6 gdfather William - 10 yrs. old:

Thomas 02 - b- Nicholas Co. - son of the other Thomas in the Tax of 1782-7 abv.died - 1836

m Elizabeth who d-1633 Monroe Co., WV

& they had

William who m Susanna Vincent

Frances who m Jonathan Swope

14-Jesse m Rachel Zimmerman?

John m Sally

-Jr Edmund :

Thomas 03 m Betsy Nutter

*were children of ? - butnot this Thomas #2.

The following version is held(by: ,,Mrs. Farrell, Bjorkman who is a possible descendant,but not yet known where the connection is - shedescends from - William Legg b-cal759, d-1833 inCulpeper Co., Va. - this William could be the sameWm. lstd. with others on the 1762-7 Pr.Wm. Tax list?

Thomas 01 - b- ?d-

m before 1721 Sarah Davenport

see June Lutz's version for this Thomas - same as this one.

Thomas 02 - b- 1722 & s/o of above Thomas # 1

& had the following son:

Thomas #3 - b -

d -- left will dated 1808 Monroe Co., W.Va. with wife namedm - Elizabeth

& they had the following son:

Thomas #4 - same as June's 04 - m Betsy Nutter

NOTES - this chart does not show where Thomas (June's 03) who d -1838 fits in.

this chart does show 4 Thomas's - but data differs slightly from June's version.



:lee to the fact that the name THOMAS was commonly used in the early days of this

country, it has been almost impossible to completely document the many Thomas Leggs

& separate them by generations as to which was the son of whom so the

following is a chart showins the various ancestral charts that various researchersh.,ve tried to connEct - some seem more logical than others 4 some have mixed up

the issues of the various Thomas's which has further added to the confusion, so....

until further research can turn up better documention, use your ()um judgment as to

which of the following versions is the actual line of descent!

I will begin with my own interpretation as follows: June Lutz's version*/

Thomas b- 7, d- 7, m before 1721 Sarah Davenport (lstd. 17t32 -7 tax - Pr.Wm.Co.,Va).;could be the one with Land Grant - 25 acres 1728 in hichmond Co., Va. - Book B

had issee as follows - per North Farnham Parish Records " " " / #137

Ruth bapt. 1721 -4.2.7howas bapt. 1722 - Sarah bapt. 1725 - --

Davenport bapt. 1728 George bapt. 1733 - Fortunatus bapt. 1723

6. serve say they also had - Eleanor b-9/3 or 3/9/1713 - or 4/11/1722

Thomas #2 -(s/o ThcAmes & Sarah above).. bapt. 4/11/1722 N. Farnham Parish Records,Richmond COVImarried Llizabeth died - ,possibly'the one who made a will in 1807,

I AY. GROWING OLD

They tell me I am growing oldT have heard them tell it time untoldIn language plain and boldBut I am not growing oldThis frail old shell in which I dwellIs growing old I know full well

3ut I'm not in the shell

What if my hair is turning grayGray hair is honorable they sayWhat if my eyesight is growing dimI can still see to follow HimWho sacrificed his life for me

Upon the cross of CalvaryWhat should I care if times old ploughHas left its furrows upon my browAnother house not made with handsAwaits me in the Glory LandWhat though I falter in my walkWhat though my tongue refuses to talk

I can still watch and praise and prayMy hearing may not be as keenAs in the past it may have beenStill I can hear the Savior sayIn whispers soft this is the wayThe outward man do what I canTo lengthen out life's short span

Shall perish and return to dustAs everything in nature mustThe inward man the scriptures sayTs growing stronger every daySo how can I be growing oldWhen safe within my Savior's Fold

Ere long my soul shall fly awayAnd leave this tenement of clayTo seize the everlasting prizeI'll meet you in the streets of GoldAnd prove I'm not growing old

....James Clarence Haven Legg

(1887-1963)

LEGE'S

6, the Legg an has been traced back to Italy when iv was1ogga-3eLezze-deLegis-deLeya. Ihe home city was Ravenna and from there to

- V: =-Hire at the enc: of the 10th century,then some of the family moved to Englandfrom the 10th to 16th centuries. The first time the name appears in Englishhistory was during the reign of Henry 2nd when Hugh DeLega was Sheriff ofBedfordshire 1164-1170. This information was confirmed and some of It provedby the present Earl of Dartmouth of the Legg Family, One source is "SomeAccount of the Legge Family Resident in East Anglia'" by Rev A. 6 Legge. in theNorfolk and Norwich Archeological Society, Vol.13,page 101-114.

There were Legge'a.,Legg's in English history --Edward Legg, CountyNorthumberland, 11S5--both John Legg, County Cumberland tax roll 1327,andRobert Legg, Tax roll County Cumberland 1327-John Legg, Somerseshire taxrolls, 1321 --Thomas Legg, Sheriff of London, 1347 and the LordMayor,1354--William Legg of Huntingdonshire at. Oxford University, 1581-GeorgeLegg, baron of Darthmouth, became Admiral in the English Navy

In Scotland in 1296 Mathew de Leghe of Dumfrieahire rendered homage to theEnglish Crown an had his estates returned to his control in 1296. In 1588William Legg , Sanffshire directed ras uon recieve the natural portion of hisestates upon his death in 1588 In 1648 Patrick Legg waa "indeyttit and eciLiait(arrested and Jailed) and was reputed to be one common thief and a noteviusone " Gilbert- Legg was a weaver in Inveaichnie in 1702.

There is on record during King Henry VIllths time , one Thomas Legg,Master Cook of the King's kitchen who was well remembered for his fine cuisineand hot tompar, also for his large family.

In King James's court was a Robert Legg owner of an Inn of Fleet Street.Ijust a block or two from Queen's Gate, who was a cook for the court and ownerof the Inn where he served the best wine in London that he made himself, alsohis roast duck was ?amoos. lie was known for his courtly manner and hot temperHe had nine sons.

There is a orancn of the Leggs still. in Scotland today for an issue ofNational Geography of 197S show a 'Robert Legg" with a radar setup andbinoculars on the edge of Loch Ness watching for the monster. The item statedhe lived in the vicinity and was a faithful ot'server.

Over the yeara a large amount. of Legs migrated from England to Scotlandduring the religious persecutions, and from England and Scotland to America,landing in America in the 1600's The United States list one or more f thespelling "Legg" in the earl lent records of Connecticut, Massachusetts,Maryland, New York and Virginia. In Massachusetts Bay Colony there were twoJohn Leqqa admitted as Freemen in 1648 and 1680 In Virginia, six men of thespelling,"Legq" were admitted as neadwrights in County Land grants in 1653 to1681. Our first- Thomas Legg may have been one or a decendant of one of thesebefore they came into our records in Richmond County, Virginia in1729.

The following is found in Willa of Richmond County. North Farnham Parish,

It boasted a liana, aMasonic Lodge, eleven warehoutfes a newspaper ,several hotels a theater a canalwith tidewater locks. grist mil ti and flour mills, a shipyard and brick yard.Tobacco seems to have been quite a thriving trade and the mainstay of thecommunity.

JAMES, Ct.ARENCE LEGG

James Clarence Legg wee my father. He was born to aerena Rebecca HullLegg and Charles Henderson Legg on Nsvember 13,18S9 in Nicholas; County on amountain that was called "Panther Mountain." It was told to me over the yearsthat a settler killed a panther so big there that when he went to carry it homehe wrapped the front legs around his neck to transport it and the hind legsdragged the ground, and eince this settler was a large man that made thepanther very big indeed Thereafter the mountain was called Panther Mountain.'

It was in this area that my father grew up. When he wee born theydiscovered he had a condition they celled leakage of the neart and was a bluebaby. Because ef this he was watched over and indulged for they didn't believehe would live. His brothers would take him to the fields on warm days as theyworked the farm and laid him on a blanket on the ground so he could get sun andair. He had eight half brothers and eluters who were much older than him andthey looked after him a great deal. He seemed to love them en much an he didhis full brothers and sinters an an adUlt.

When we were small children he told us stories of Panther Mountain toamuse us. He said when nis brothers and sisters went off to school he couldn'tbear to be left behind and began foliowing them the three miles they had towalk to school and the teacher, a sister of niu mca.hers, Viola Hull. let himstay and taught him along with the others He loved to tell of that one roomschoolhouse teat was heated with a wood stove and the children of similar ageswould go up to the front row for their leuton, then go back: to their seats andother children of a different age take their place. They were taught readingand spelling from McGufty Readers which always contained a moral, so they weretaught, morals in school plus manners, behavior and cleanliness. He certainlybe in that method, I have the McGuffy Readers my faeher used and a slatethey did their work on

He told us quite often of tne bear that came to the kitchen door and triedto get in when ae was a baby in hie cradle evidently Grandmother left, himasleep while she walked to the barn to gather eggs one morning and he woke upand cried hard and the bear heard ram. He said a hear will go to a cryingchild. When Grandmother returned the bear was at the door and she waved herarms and scouted until it ran away. When we went to visit there he would pointout the deep grooves cut, in the door frame that the bear made Grandmotheralso met a bear one day on the path from the field to toe house and it raisedup and stared at her then ran away away. He said he didn't know who wasfrightened the most, Grandmother or the bear.

Father loved to swim and according to him, he and his brothers loved toswim in the river After I saw that river there was no way you could get meinto it. it was swift, pouring over rucks with a roar nod icy cold. It wasfrightening to Just contemplate it. He told of going one hot summer day withhis brothers and since the river comes from mountains and springs it is verycold and he caught a creme in his cheat froa it and his brothers pulled him outin the nice of time, He always said they saved his life. Father and hisbrothers were protective of one another, but they teased one another sounmercifully that it always bothered me for to me it eometimes sounded hurtful

Grandfather and Grandmother were devout and attendee church at the ArnettChurch which was not far away It was a big occasion to get all dressed up andride a horse, a wagon a starry or a buggy to church and gather with theirfriends ano neighbors. They had violin music, horn and guitar joining in andall day sings. Daddy loved violin music and of course he would after havinggrown up with it. He played a violin and played by ear though he taughthimself to read music quite well and taught us to read it too. He often pickedup hie violin and played the country songs he knew from the mountain. I have



-:'memory from my earliest days.

Their entertainments consisted of many thingsmusic corn huskingpartiesspelling beesuolaesae making pareieeapple butter makingpartiestaffy pull parties at Christmasvisiting each other back andforthchurch socials especially.

Father had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge from his youth until hedied. After he retired he poured over books of history, spelling, literature,archeology, new scientific discoveries about the earth and universe. Anythingat all that he wanted to know more about. efe began gatherieg data on hisfamily and their origins and typed on it regularly.

Wen he wee sixteen he left home and went to small coal mine towns nearthe area as a teacher. He taught in one room schoolhouses and roomed andboarded with the families ut hie pupila. He would live awhile with oee familythen move en to another through the seeoel term and go to a leachers echoolthey called Normal school during the summer where he would earn credits towarda teaching degree. He paid for his schooling in this fashion and earned a M.A.before he was through. Also took a penmanship rourse and earned a degree toteach it which he did in Indiana University ae a Professor of Penmansnio

He told us of some of the problems of teaching hack in those days in arough coal town. (Inc of the problems would be the bigger bully boy who made ita point to "whip" the teacher, and even have more than one bully try at onetime to who teacher on his way to er from school As my father was noe a tallman, being about S foot 8 inchee he must have had a hard way to go. However,he was super strong for his size with powerful shoulders and arms and couldgive a good account of himself if pushed into it. I know all us childree sawthe leather strap he kept at school with a hole in he end of it which he usedwhen he had to "strap" a bully that, was too obnoxious in school. I still have.his strap and the small bell he kept on his desk in all his schools.

When World War I came Daddy and his brothers Lawrence, Clinton, andFrancis went into the Army. They were at a training camp where Daddy was aMese Sergeant and one of the worst flu epidemics this country has ever knownbroke out His brothers came down with the flu and Gaddy kept close watch overthem and nursed them. They said afterwards he had saved their lives. When theoverseas call came Daddy was told he was to stay at the camp and would beallowed to request some men to stay behind with him, Lawrence evidently wantedto go overseas and went, but Clinton and Francis stayed behind with him and itturned out they never did go overseas.

When the war was over Daddy went to Indiania University to teachpenmanship. He taught Spencerian writing. His writing was simply beautiful,he could draw picturee of the Capital letters and drew fancy pictures with itto amuse us. He was one of ten men left in United States who could write thishand when he died Theee men knew each other and corresponded over' the years-

My moteer Elsie (Little; Renick lived down the road apiece from the Legghomeplace and Mother and Father grew up knowing one another, though Father wasfive years elder than she. He used to laegh and say "I held her on my kneewhen she was a eaby." She was sixteen when her father' tool < the family toArkansas to live. Mother and Father were al-eddy sweethearts though and hewrote her iaithfully He said he didn't make enough money at teaching so heresigned in :Indiana and ootained a Job as a ticket agent for the railroads inStettgart, Arkansas. He rented a house close by arid furnished it and went. toCushman, Arkansas where mother lived, married her at her home then they went toStuttgart to live. was born there and remember setting on the front porchsteps waiting for Daddy to come home from worn in the evening and punning tomeet him as he came up the road He would pick me up and carry me to the housewhere Mother would be puteing supper on the table. I alto remember takingwalks in the evenings and he would carry me past stores where we would stop andshop through the windows and 1 wanted everything I saw. They usually bought mepeppermine candy to hew on the way home.



Before 1 was born, my mothers mother, Sarah Drennen Renick died of astroke and she left three small children, Fred 10, Lrnest S sated Virginia Syeare cold At the funeral the girls; decides that Fred and Ernest would go tomothers house to live for Mother wanted them and Aunt Bertha wanted her littleeister, Virginia.

My father and mother looked upon Fred and Ernest an their own children andthey were with them when both my brother and I were born. I called them Uncle,but really, they were always my elder brother and I looked upon them always asmy older brothers. They were extra protective of my brother and I and lookedafter us a great deal. It was during this time also that Mother's siser Luriecame to live with us aweile She was unmarried and she worked in the town asan optholmologist. brae met Uncle .John there ana they married at our house andwent to live at Cuehman te farm. Aunt Lurie wee living with mother when 1 wasborn for Mother needed help at that time and they bath cared for me so much teefirst year of my life that they said I didn't really know which was my mother.Aunt Lurie favored me because of hie fer the rest of my life.

Father heard of a Job as a ticked agent in E. St. Louis and decided tomove to E. St.. Louis for it was said the schools were so good and arose theriver in St. Louis were some of the beat of tee Universities. He took the joband bought a house on North Park Drive in Waehingten Park then went back toStuttgart to gather up his family. We moved here when my brother was a fewmonths old and I wail three in 1923. My sister Evalee was born in this house,also 1 went, to my first year of school there. Father bought a nicer, biggerhouse in a good section of town on Waverly Avenue in Lansdowne and we movedthere when I was seven.

Daddy worked neents at the Relay Depot while we lived here. He came downwith a had cane of malaria while he lived there and that entails high fever andwhat was teen called "congestive" chills. He lived through three of them whenmost people ceuldn't live through one. lhey gave him such powerful medicine tosave his life it produced stomach ulcers, which he suffered from for the restof his life- During this time, his life was despaired of and Mama notified hisbrothers and eietere. I ead been sent to a neighbors at this time along withmy brother. Mama was pregnant with Evalee at, this time tee so a nurse washired to help her. One day, Uncle Lawrence came to the neighbors house tocollect me. It was a cold rainy day and he carried me with an umbrella over meand talked to me as he took me home telling me Daddy wanted to see me. He saidDaddy wee very, very sick and I must be very quiet.

Uncle Lawrence bentover so I could kiss Daddy then he took: me beck to the neighbors house talk:kegsoftly all the while. I always loved Uncle Lawrence after that for he was sekind and good. Thank goodness Daddy recovered and we had many more yearstogether and even afterwards visited Uncle Lawrence and Aunt Margaret eeve:iitimes l 7.oved to go there but it seemed so far away. She always had auth apretty house It seemed to me and more modern and cheerful than ours moresunshine.

I remember Christmas in the little house Mama put a Christmas tree up inthe dining room where it was warmed by a coal iron stove and when I woke up inthe morning our Christmas presents were on the library table, but we couldn'topen them until we were dreneed. We would be so excited we had to have helpgetting dveseed. On Christmas eve there; father would go to one of be' reomeand dress in a Santa suit and climb out the window. He ehen came around GOthe back dour and knocked. When he came in we sat on his lap and told him whatwe wanted Daddy were a Masonic ring always and I always told everyone Santawore one too.

daybreak he had to walk across some railraod tracks to get to his car He hada Model 1 Ford and a big negro man jumped him and a tried to beat him up. 1.

expect robbery was the motive for that was a slum area where the Relay Depotwas located. Anyhow, the negro knocked him down and as Daddy rose he picked upa large sliver of a railroad tie and hit him in the Head. Daddy said he had tohit- him more than once to knock him Out. Daddy loeked a terrible mess as heLook quite a beating himaelf. I never knew him to ever have a light again.

When we moved into the new house in Lansdowne we had closer neighbors, ashopping area, and a theater close by. Our church was only about three blocksaway and the school too was close. We did a lot of walking in those days andreally enjoyed it. We all liked that house. We each had our oun bedrooms, abig living room with a fireplace and a music room, dining room and nice sizedkitchen, back screened porch and extra large front porch It always seemed tome that, house was arena Central station for there were people coming and goingall the tine and at all hours. Manna had to cook for both her brotheve my UncleFred and uncle Ernest, who worked days and Daddy who worked nights. She saidshe felt like an'ol' sow-wavm meals at all hours." My two uncles were both ofdating age and their friends were in and out. They were both married in thathouse, and my brother and sister and I had our own friends that were in and outall the time. Mother and Daddy were super social and their friends came a lot,I knom one time we were all eating supper in the dining room, about dark andour front door opened and a men carte in I didn't know, said "Geed evening" andwent to the piano where my violin lay, picked it up, put it under his chin andplayed and played. We had concert music as we ate that day and Daddy ,aid "Itold him he could come anytime.' We had a super violin, a copy of a Aeata withsuch Peautitul tones and Daddy had told him of it. He was a violinist with theSt. Louis Symphony. He came aomeimea after that at odd hours to use myviolin. I've laughed at that so often when I thought of it, and Fled left homefor it really described the way we lived in those days

ti Our church was close by and was at the center of our lives as we grew up.rhey had parties and socials for the young people, all night on New Years Eve.We played games and sang. A lot of our fun was singing together around a pianoat our house or a tvienda or at a church fulnction Daddy taught us to singand play Evalee played the piano and 1 played a violin, a ukelele and guitar.Moma played a a guitar too and on summer evenings we'd go out on the frontperch and steps and Daddy led with the violin and home played the guiitar and Iplayed a banJoeukeleia. The neighbors would come over and we'd all sing as weplayed. When I crew older and bettee on the violin we had a string quartetwith a bass viol, an alto violin and two violins playing harmony. People cameand sat on the step to hear us and uomeLmee joined in. Music was so much ofour live as we grew up and I've missed it so very much atter 1 lett home.When radio's came in Daddy pougnt consoles and we had record players we dancedto. We would move it to the front, porch and danced to the record player whenwe had company and more and more would drift in as the evening progressedaround midnight. and Weedy weuld chose them all home. We ned a swing andfurniture on that big porch and it became another room to the house in warmweather.

Ihe Depressaion hit the country while we lived in that house and so manypeople lost their jobs. Daddy worried about his I know, but they kept him. Hehad obtained Uncle Pred a job too at the Relay Depot as a ticked agent, bulthey laid him off except for two days a week. He was still living with us tooand he got an extra job at night tending bar downtown. Uncle Fred talked toMoma about taking a job at a bar. He didn't feel a Christian man should tendbar, but since Jobs were so hare to find and he needea the money he took: it.

anyway Uncle Ernest had married and had a small child, Ruth who was onlythree or four, when he lost his job working in a grocery store in WashingtonPark. lie lived in Washington Park too but Mom and Dad told him to move in withus. He had trieo for so long to get a job and couldn't and Daddy would buygroceries for him and leave it on their front. porch. I've gone with him whenhe id. Finally Unkie gave up and moved in with us for a while. Our house waspretty full by that time and Daddy went out and bought a truck and deliveredcoal in the winter time and ice in the summertime to to able to feed that many.



'He did It during the day then went to work at night at the Relay We struggledtoe for on top of that he eented some land near the railroad tracks that wasempty and grew a big garden which helped. Mom canned everything and we hadplenty to eat all year long. Ey helping her I learned to can too ane still doit. She made our clothers too so we looked nice without spending a lot of moneyand taught my sister and 1 to sew too. We had fun doing thee. We'd goshopping first by just looking at the new dresses. Then we'd decide what weliked best and what material best for it then we'd pick out patterns at home tocombine to make the iateet fashion, go back to town, buy the material and goanme and struggle with it. She had a pedal Singer sewing machine and to this.:lay I believe It better and easier than the electric ones I have We'd worktill it was done in the evenings, She was a goad seamstress for her finishedarticle was always 'so neat and just the way she wanted it

Daddy liked people and belonged to the Masonic Lodge--the Chanters Choir,the 1llinoii Male Chorus. He took part in church, sang in the choir. I wasalways moved when he eanq for he had a lovely voice and could do what I'venever heard anyone else do, he sang bass when he wanted to, the deepest, purestbass you ever heard, but ee could also sing tenor and hit those high noteswithout looking volume. He sometimes sang Irish songs like an Irish tenor, andbarber shop quartet harmony. When he grew older he quit singing so much for hesaid his voice had become raspy and he wouldn't try it anymore_ He wore atuxedo whenever he zany with the Illinois male chorus and a white tuxedowhenever he sang with the Maeonice "Chanters" and I loved to see him dress upin them. We were always in the audience when he sang.

Sundays were "Deddyae Day". We got, up early and bathed and cleaned up intime to go to church. Mama put dinner in the oven so it would be done when wegot home, euually a roast. The day bileore we made cake or pie and washed ourhair and veiled it. Usually someone or two or three came home with us aid atedinner. If we had no cemoany, Daddy liked best te take a long. long drive inthe country. Either that or go to an afternoon movie downtown. He really didlove movies and we saw the good ones. latualiy afterward we'd have ice creambefore we went home. We were usually all so busy during the week but Sundaywee .ni Jay when we got together.

My teteer was a highay nervous man and he drove himself so, never reallyreceiving proper rent. the medicine they gave him to save his life when he hadmalaria left, him with stomach ulcers and he was e.ice so mum all our growing upyears. He want to all kinds of doctors to no avail until he went to a specialhospital up north somewhere, I believe near Chicago, called "Soper Mills".They tested aeody and gave him a diet and n, special way of cooking for him, Hecould have milk, cream, cottage, cheese, hamburger that was made from groundround and put in a white ordinary envelope, cooked with no fat in the ekillet,bread and a pound cake made with lots of eggs. We made it in a cake pan thathad a funnel in the middle. We made that cake for him every other day. Mysister and 1 learned how so we could help mother out. We beat up sugar, eggsand half cream and half milk eggnog for him all the time also te drink, his owneggnog.

I knew my father to do so many things for people that other folks wouldnever consider doing. Two examoles turned out to be quite famous. One was thathe became acquainted with a widow woman who had a daughter older than 1. Theywent to our church and the daughter, Jean aeowning sang in our choir She hadsuch a lovely voice, but her mother worked and made s small salary and shecouldn't of singing lessons Daddy spoke to the Mason's and they Sponsoredher, she took lessons from a ramous music teacher in at. Louis and he sent heron to New York later for more study. A few years later she was singing withthe 14kW York Opera Company. She sang here in St Louis at the Mainy Opera a fewtimes, and I went to hear her she was wonderful Two, A family lived twodoors down from us with two boys and a girl my age, whom I played with. Ourparents visited some and like one another. the Father, Mr Goodpaeter was coalminer, They were highly moral lovely people. The second boy, Jack wasbrilliant and could sing like an angel A tall pleasant looking man and tetherle.aed hMil Daddy tutored him all eneeummee in math and calculus, various



things, and had him sing in tee choir every Sunday night and morning service,then he took his grades-, and recemmerdetion to the Mason's and they endorsed itand sent it on to the Senator who represented ue and he appoiinted him to WestPoint that year .''ack made an outstanding performance there and went tovarious other schools through his career. Was an Aide to President Eisenhaur=.nd ended up as the General who was head of NATO in Orussele before heretired.Father was so proud of both of them, But I think that the one thing hedid for a little neighbor boy across the street was the best of all Richardhad polio when he was three, and it left him with affected legs. One grew andone didn't and he had a terrible time gettine areund. Daddy lock them to theChildren's Masonic Hospital andf got Richard accepted. Every year teeyoperated on him and corrected the legs, aluo tutored him go he kept up with hisclassmates, When he was a grown man, he walked with a cane. He married, has ajob and a family. It the Masonic Hospital for Children hadn't treated him, hewould have been a hopeless; cripple.

When my brother was seventeen he obtained a real good job that summer withthe Terminal railroad in the office as some kind of dispatcher who routed andhad loaded railroad cars and was: responsible for routing them to the rightdestination. He made really good money and they made much of him. He reallyliked it and did real well. He told fatner he would not go back to school andfinish high scheol. He wanted to make e career of what he as doing and did notbelieve school would help him in later life. He was adamant, as so many reallyyoung people are, and it really broke Daddy's heart. He so believed ineducation, his family did, and Mother's family lice and through the years evenunder hardship they saw to it the their children were educated Robert boughthimself a car and had a Job. He felt no need to go back: to school. Daddyworried 9f) :ruch about it tried everything he could think of, Mama too, butRobert would not listen. He felt nimeelf a man who should make his owndecisions. One late eummer afternoon, Evalee and I were on the back porchresting and Daddy drove into the garage early. He wasn't due until four orfive o'clock. He had been promoted by then and was the Statien Master so heworked days. He walked from the garage door to the back porch and I had Owenreading. I looked up and saw eim staggering and he walked se differently Iknew at once something was wrong. 1 calleo out to Mama and she came arid wehelped him up the steps and into bed. She told me to run next door and call OrEllis who lived nearby. I ran next door and phoned Dr. Orgel instead, who hadan office in St. Louis. Mama hao told me not to call him for she figured itwould take too long to come from St. Louis. Dr. Orgel asked me Questions andtold me to go home and tell mother not to let him move and to keep him warm.He would pick up a police escort arid be there in Just a few minutes. eweenough, here came the sirens of two motorcycles and Dr. Orgel roaring up closebehind. He told us kids to take a long walk so we three took a long walk.Around Jones Park

We were scaired to death and talking in hushed tones. When we got backDaddy was going into an ambulance and Mama went with Or Orgel We waiteduntil Uncle Fred and Uncle Ernest came over. We had called them, and AuntWilma stayed with us kids unt'.l eomebody came back. Ernest drove his car andFred went with him. (hey didn't come back so Aunt Wilma made us go to bed.They came back the next, morning Daddy had had two "mild" (if you can call itmild) seeokee. they kept him in bed for awhile and he went back to work. Healways drug his left leg after that though. Mama always said he worried uomuch over Rupert quitting school it drove his blood pressure up too high.Daddy accepted Robert's decision but always fe:.t it was the biggest mietake hecould make.

When Robert was, eighteen, we woke up one morning to find he had packed hisclothes and taken them with him during the night A week went by and motherand Daddy were frantic. Mother' laid in bee and read her 3t le and cried andDaddy went out looking for him. He contacted my brothers friends one by oneuntil he found out where he was arid toward tne end of the following week: hefound him ane broeght him home I never knew where he found him or why nr left



but whatever it was Daddy straightened it out and things went back to normal at. our house.

Not long after that, World War IT broke out and Robert got a draftnotice. The household was again in a state of strain. The day before he wasto go to the recruiting 'attire, he packed his clothes and was ready to go.rhey said to take your things with you for atter the exam they sent you strait,on to training can i'obert went out with his cronies that night, and asEvalee and I shared the front bedroom, we heard him come home. He went up tohis room for awhile and we drifted back to sleep. After awhile I waste up to afunny noise coming from the living room so I got up to investigate. My brotherwas laying on the couch crying. It really stunned me for he was such a brave,impulsive fellow. He would tackle anything I sat down and put his head in mylap and talked and smoothed his hair until he felt better and tinally went tosleep. Next morning he went with the others to the recruiting office.Evalee,Mama and I stayed home to hear the phone ring and find out where he wasto be sent, but about four o'clock here came Daddy with Robert beside him Hehad been turned down because of a rheumatic heart At the time we were so gladto see him we did not really realize what that heart condition meant. Daddywas worried atout the heart but he was glad Robert did not have to go to war.He'd been there eimself and knew a little about what happens.

When the war came, life changed for all of us. Dad was inundated at work:for there were eesuou of people traveling and troops too in big numbers. Hehad to put on more men, work longer hours and most of all be secretive whichwas againgt his nature. People were drafted from everywhere and men alsoenlisted in great numbers so all work places were affected War came for us ofta Sunday afternoon. We had been to church and came home for dinner, cleaned upthe dining room and cleared away all the dishes There was alwaye eo muchactivity and noinea we seldom put on the radio during the day but after diehesJ sat down by the radio to practice ey shorthand. (I was going to a businesscollege.) 1 don't remember what the rest were doing but we were all in thehouse and I heard the anounter telling about Pearl. Harbor being bomoed. J

called them and they all gathered around the radio to hoar We heard PresidentRoeeevelt 1P nis famous speech of "a day that will live in infamy" and heannounced that, we were at W61" with Japan. Wa went to church to pray thatnIght. We had two classes of young men and women of the same age 3 young menand 40 young men. The next morning on Monday all 40 of the young men enlistedand were gone. It went like that all over the nation. There were shortages ofall things-sugar, coffee, butter, nylons-and rationing. We had to go getstamps for everything and they didn't go very far. Cooking was always aproblem and gas for the car They gave Daddy extra rations though for the carbecause he was keeping the Croups moving.

We hao two bases near us, Scott Bee* and Jefferson barracks, across theriver. The oaeter aaked his congregation to welcome soldiers to a Sunday mealfor they were just common ordinary beye like ours and away from home. Fatherwith a ereet deal of reluctance finally agreed and when soldiers went to churchon Sunday some of them wee invited to our home. My sister and I went out witha few. Father wasn't happy when we did so we didn't do a whole lot of itwent to work with the Illinois State Highway about this time. It was a bigbuilding at the edge of the city and the first floor was for the state policeand the upper floor for the engineers of the highway system. Evalee went. towork at. granite City Depot and kobert worked in St Louis at the railroadTerminal aasociation. Robert got married about thin time to a girl who livednot for away and e year later I die too. Evalee married about a year laterthan I.

My husband was from California and we went by train to mead his mother andfather six months after we merried. When we got there I met his people andfriends saw lovely California beaches, and Dad Snowden took us on a tour ofHollywood's famous homes.

COma out of it. My brother and his wife and baby and Evalee were living athome. Mother was bedridden and not doing well. After about three days at home

:Moil. Mama had aurgery while Red and I were gone and was just beginning to

s, -,e was taken again to tne hospital and re-operated on, after which she beganL recover. In the meantime, I lost my baby and after Mania recovered myhusband and I moved into an apartment. Robert did too and the following summerEvalee married and moved to Great Lakes Navy base. Daddy found a smaller placeto live about that time with a large area of ground surrounding it. He grew abig garden at the back of it and made a large fenced area for hunting dogs andgot himself a couple of beadles. This was at the edge of the city limits andwe could have animals.

Mama wa9 no leneacime after all of us left that she applied for a job atFamous aarr in St. Louis and went to work in the accounting office I hadfollowed Red to Kansan where he was stationed and saayed until he was postedfor overseas, then he took me home to be safe while Robert and Cleda had movedto a small house nearby. She and I were both pregnant. Just before Chriatmasi,the 20th of Dec. I had my first. pains We had decorated the tree that day andDaddy tool': me to the hospital at nine o'clock. Mama and Uaddy went home whenthe doctor told them it would by a long time. It was a long drive from theirhouse to tne hospita so when they got home they found Cleda In labor and in ahurry. Daddy took her as fast as he could but the baby wa9 coming feat and inhis excitement he got lost in the town he lived xn for years, so he took her tothe closest hospital- barely in time. She and I had our babies at the same inseparate hospitals. Daddy stayed home the next day from work to recuperate!He'd had a busy nidght.

Rebecca was born in December 1944 and the war was over six or eight monthslater. Red came home in time for Christmas and we got a little apartmentdowntown. He worked for Dad at the Relay at first but they had passed a newlaw for the returneoa and it declared they could have their old jobs back. Redaad a bonus coming o we bought railroad tickets with it back to his old homein California and got his old job back working for the American ExpressCompany. We found a place to live in Pasadena and Red made shelving for themagazines in his spare time so we did real well. They promoted him though tooistrict manager in 11 Centre over a large area. We found housing in a quonsetbut on a Navy base and were quite comfortable Mother came to see us whilethere and we drove up the mountains from extreme heat in the desert to snow inthe mountains in Jaaumba. She really enjoyed that. She and I both boughtIndian rings while there and she wore hers ever after.

A year or so later Red had a heat stroke while working and the doctor saidhe had to leave the desert so we piled into our car and drove the southernroute aa to East at. Louis. We got an apartment in Washington Park and I wentto work. Red worked for Metr000litan Life Insurance and really did not makeenough money at it.

In 1948 Daddy decided to buy land at this time up the hill on the bluftsand they had just opened up the farmlands to development. He bought two acreson top the hill and set to wor< ouilding a 'nous* into the hill. Uncle Ernest,Red, and Homer; Evalee's husband, all donated time when they could and aoon hada basement dwelling of a large kitchen, large living room, bathroom, utilityroom and bedroom. Later on he hired a builder to construct the top floor whichconsisted of two bedrooms, dining area, kitchen and large living room. He hada rose garden, all kinda of fruit trees and nut trees . Some of them he broughtfrom West Virginia_ All his life, he made trips baca to Panther mouontaxn asoften as he could, ?rare one trip a year' to several-sametimes even 3 or 4,depending on what was happening at work. He always took one or two of us. I

made my first trip when I wad daae, ane we mot and enjoyed our reiatives overthe years. There certainly were a large amount of them too with children,which trade it fun. After we left home, he went often and sometimes mother too.She worked though and could not always go when he aid. After he built thehouse in Fairview he would bring back things from West Virginia toplantchestnut trees, holly trees, Peggy apple trees, tulip trees, and someauahea I was nt- famillar va.h sn' awe cherry trees.



Soon after they eovee into that house, war wee declared with Korea on aSunday and the following week Red was called to active duty and sent. toSpokane, Washington. 1 followed as soon as school closed and was away fromhome for 3 1/2 years. Red was sent overseas after that and brought me homebefore he left, I moved into an apartment on Scott Air Force ease with Rebeccabut was pregnant so when I ran into some difficulty, Mom and Dad came and putmy furniture into storage and moved me into their front bedroom where I stayeduntil my child wee born.

Dad wae busy again at the Relay with troop movements and so many peopletraveling. Robert had gone to Caicago on a job and stayed so he moved Cledaand their flve children into the basement. Cleda and I sure did a lot ofcooking those months Her baby, Charlie, was about three and we had ahousetul. Daddy brought groceries home by the armful. Red came home whenSusie was 13 months old and we got an apartment on 42nd Street and bought landon 44th Street. Spent more than a year building a house. We surely did lovethat house too but the day we put the finishing touches on the place hereceived orders for Germany. 3o, the house went up for sale, 1 sold it andmoved back to Dad's for six weeke until my luggage went overeeat, my furnitureinto storage and Just hand luggage left to take on the plane. Dad arranged mytrain trip to New Jeraey with a private compartment. Susie was three amdRebecca was eleven. word got ahead of us to the station via the railroadesthat I was a railroaders daughter, and a Red Cap met me, took me to a phone soI could call Daddy and Mama and tell them goodby Then the Red Cap took us toa taxi and told the cab driver that we were a railroaders family and the cabbiegave us a euided tour of New York----FREE----before he took us to the airbasewhere we were to stay the night He stayed with me and took: my luggage for meright to our room. Such a lovely eend off to know how nice our owe peoplecould be in our own country.

While we were in Germany Daddy made it so interesting for us. We took aLot of trips by car and Dad wrote every week -- sometimes more--telling us aboutplaces we were going or had already been. He always) knew the history of theplace and he and E became quite cloee through letters while I was there. I

know we went. to Amsterdam for the first time. Rebecce and Susie loved it somuchso did we the canals and the boat rides, the outside tables, the cooking,the friendliness of the people ane I wrote to Daddy telling him all aboutitplus the pictures we took of the tulip fields in bloom. Dad wrote back andtold us about a lot more and laughingly said, "You should love it, that's wheresome of your family came from, the Koontz." We went again, and this time sawthe museum of Rembrandts and the dikes and windmills and the miniature citybuilt for children at Den Hague.

While in Germany my aunts wrote me that Daddy wasn't doing well and they'dbe glad when I got home. We had to stay four years before we came home me Yuli4th, 1960. I stayed at home for a month before joining Red in Texas. Daddywasn't well. He had circulatory trouble and high blood pressure. Morn just hadretired and Daddy was getting ready to, but you could see it was time heretired. He came to see us in Texas arid we were so delighted! lie seemed toenjoy it too. We brought a foreign car home with tee from eermany, a Renault.One day he and Red disappeared after breakfast and were gone until afternoonWhen they came in, they were driving a huge white 1961 Ford Seemed reallyhuge after riding in a small c.iv. Dad loved Fords and he showed Rea the newFords so Red decided to buy one! We always needed a pretty good car because wetraveled so much and the roomier the better. He liked Texas:, and it was hisfirst trip there too 90 while there, he and mother visited Aunt Pearl and AuntVirginia in Houston.

We were sere. not long after that. to Lakeland, Cieorgia and found a piece ona country road about a mile from the Okeefanokee Swamp. The house was a lovelywhite brick with a large yard that was lovely. We got a calf, chickens, a pig,and farme a little with an acre garden, Dad liked what I wrote about theplace so after we had been there a short while, he and Mother tame for a visit.He Teally die rave fun this time because nt reminde.j him of hm. a home Tr my had



dlaky sings and tobacco harvest where everybody has tun while they work. HeAwould get up real early and go get still warm eggs frwo my chickens forbs'eakfast. Mama made biscuits and he had molasses on them. I had frozenvegetables from the garden and grits and fresh killed ham from a pig. I caughtthe flu though while they were there and felt pretty rotten toward the end oftheir stay and Dad was beginning to catch it from me when he left After heleft, they hospitalized me ano 1 had a letter from Mom that Dad too washospitalized at the same time. He didn't recover . He was so sick at thestomach--StOMACh flu-- as I had but the surgeon operated on him--gave him a newstomach, and other things too--too much surgery--and Dad did not live He diedMarch 21, 1967:1--the first day of spring. We drove all night--a thousand miletrip--hoping to get, home in time but he died at four o'clock that morning andwe didn't oet home until three that afternoon His funeral was a really bigone. People came from everywhere and we buried hime at Valhalla in the Masonicsection. He had picked that place years before and I had gone with him thatday to .see the lots too. He picked a place with several big trees over it andwhen I go to decorate the graves of Mom and Dad I look for the pretty pinetrees that cover their graves. I feel very blessed ft.'. I had them as parents.

GROSE FAMILY

William Grose was the fifth on of Samuel Grose who settled on Line Creeknear where Lockwocel Post Office was locaed.The exact date of their arrivalaceams to he .lust a little confused but it was not long after the Ciotie of thewar of 1812., since Samuel Grose, the father, had taken part in that war and itis said he waa granted eix hundred acres of land by the government for hisservice in that war, which he located on Line Creek

The Koontz family also settled there at that time.

William Grose wau born in 1799. His wife, Susan Koontz Grose wau born inthe year 1798. They ftrst began housekeeping on the Koontz farm near Bethelchurch. Taey moved to land which was patented to a man named Foster, known asthe 50 acre Foster patent in Panther Mountain community. Here William Groseadded by purchase and by taking up vacant lands until he became quite alandowner.

In the course of time he waved to the Henry Hess farm which adJoined theone on which he first settled in Panther Mountain His family consisted offive sons and eix daughters. they were Andrew Jackson, 28 May, 1919,Franklin,1S June 1920, Covington, 15 June 1824, William,9 uly,1830,SocrateeWesley,9 December 1832, Margaret,01 March, 1823, Caroline,19 December, 182.5,Mary Anna,13 May, 1827, Martha,t9 November, 1 e28, Harriet 01 may, 18:34 ,andJerueha, 9 November, 1837. All of these reached maturity and became usefulcitizens.

Wiltiam and Susan Grose both were affiliated with church and wereenthusiastic church workers_ The leading thought with them wnen deciding acourse of action seemed to be, is it right.

Their home was widely known as the preacher' house and it wee also ameeting place where the community net to hear a sermon from the itinurentpreacher when he !stopped for a few days xri his travels over the county. Atthis home was collected perhaps the largest private library for miles around.They did not have public schools then but all of the family took an interest ineducation and spent spare time in study. When a difficult problem came up itwas carefully laid away for the preacher to help tnem when he came to see them.Thus the traveling preacher served both as a preacher and RS a tetaaher.William Grose was a claus leader and a iiiicenued exhorter in his church. Itwas suggested that he get a license to preach but he declined to do this.

He preferred only local work in the church and to depend upon his farm forhis support. He served for a time as juetice of the peace under the Virginiasystem but this was not to his liking and he resigned this office

Among his descendents there are a number of preachers and teachers thathave attained to prominence. Rev. l .5. Grese and R.U. Backus are grandsons whoserved as District, Superintendente in the Methoedist Church. Hishop George R.Grose served for eleven years as president. of De Paw University then waselected a bishop of the church and served his church in China. He was a greatgrandson of William and Susan Grose

.3taaan Grose died at the age of about eighty years and William lived to theage of eighty four and they ere laid side by side in the William Grose cemetryin graves in sigot of their old home. After his wife died William seemed verymuch lost and his mind seemed to wander They spent their old days with theirson Wesley Grose on the farm where they had spent many happy days

The name Legg is of Norman origin. It is associated with the people

living in the city/province of Lie'ge, Normandy ( Belgium ). T he Legg

surname has a strong English history, due to the Norman invasion of England

in 1066 AD, by William the Conqueror. He divided England into parcels of

land, given to all knights who fought with him- Domesday Book. Submitted

inquiries to Somerset House, London England & Hist. Soc. of Liege, Belgium.

The Legg name may be recordedin this book and could have been former peasants

who were made nobles.

In the following years the invading Normans, married into English &

Scotish families. In the 1300's due to war, some settled and remained in

Ireland, marrying Irish women, retaining the Norman name.

Most of the history re' Legg is of English history. --- Col. William

Legg of the kings army married in 1649 Elizabeth Washington of North Hampton

England. Elizabeth's descendant is none other than George Washington.

Both these families had members that were Royalists, supported king over

parliment and brought persecution against themselves.

Col. William Legg's children; George, William, Susan, Elizabeth,

George became an Eng. Admiral, who failed to to repell the Dutch fleets.

He died in the Tower of London for treason, at the orders of the king.

Many of the Legg's were ministers,Vicar Rich. W. Legg 1867. The last

person to be burned at the stake in Eng. in the 1600's was a Legg.

Other references to Politicians; Francis Legge Gov. Nova Scotia 1774;

ambassadors and military naval officers.

Play have been some degree of persecution of the Legg's England,

that forced them to America considering their back ground. Many Legg's

remained in England; very common name to this day.

I do not know when they came to America and if the families in W.VA.

are from one family or different migrations4pfteLV CoLcwiANC_ AfigGiri/AlYk

I do know in the mid 1800's immigrants paid.$12.50 to $25.00 to come

to America. The period of 1750-1850 in Europe there was severe drought,

famine, flood, extreme govts prompted a mass exodus of German/English/Irish.

--- The Legg surname is sparsely scattered through out Eastern US seaboard

but in W.VA. There is slot higher frequency of the male, addWonally my

----- father tells me the Legg's of W.VA. have a tremoldous 1.)yalty to

the hills of W.VA. though they are poor; could this due to some former

W.VA history; 1753 to 1863 it was settled very slowly due to Indian

up risings. Settlers during this period were poor farmers with out slaves.

They may have been inspired to settle W.VA. 1716 when Gov. Spotswood

gave land away for the asking to anyone who would face the dangers and

gave a golden horseshoe to anyone who would try; Order of the Knights

of the Golden Horseshoe.

My grand father relayed stories to my father about Indians and

Civil War battles in the area of Robertsburg, W.VA. that my great grand

remembers. So I probably had family in the Kanawha Valley in 1850.

My fathers family worked on the railroad, as farmers and on land

clearing jobs & saw mills. (ON CANAL HAR.GE73 )Many family members are buried in the Craig Graveyard, between

Robertsburg and Pt. Pleasant, off Rt. 35.

Their church was the United Brethren near Arbuckle. Creek, they had

river baptisms and had services sirniliar to Quakers; where the congregation

spoke as God's spirit moved them.

Any further more than happy

send you thank you very much for your time. Best of luck in your own

personal research.Catti-kt YetkeLZACCoz,
