BRITTAN SCALF

NOTE: Updates have been added throughout this chapter since the first posting; however, please make special note of the section on Jeremiah and Sarah Brinstone Scalf, son of Brittan and Talitha Couch Scalf. If anyone has confirming/denying information on Sarah, it would be greatly appreciated.

FOREWORD

This chapter is dedicated in memory of Henry P. Scalf, author of Chronicles of the Scalf Family. Henry was the son of William P. Scalf. William was the son of Hezekiah Scalf and Hezekiah was the son of Brittan and Talitha Couch Scalf.

Had it not been for Henry’s diligent research on this line of the family, we would likely not know much about the descendants of Brittan Scalf and Talitha Couch.

As with any genealogy errors will certainly be made. We hope to correct errors and update the line of Brittan Scalf through these writings. No doubt, errors will be found in these writings although certainly not intentional. It is our hope that descendants will continue to update and correct any and all errors in all of the Scalf family writings.

Some families have not been written in detail in this chapter because the writings of Henry Scalf have already covered most of these families. Therefore, a link to the chapter of Brittan Scalf written by Henry P. Scalf will be added for further information on these families.

The following information has been compiled in conjunction with various descendants of the Brittan Scalf family as well as a search of the census records by Virgil Scalf, documents of Russell County, Virginia and various other records such as tax lists, deeds, birth and death records and information from various descendants, etc. Information has also been used from Chronicles of the Scalf Family by Henry P. Scalf.

The following descendants have contributed to this research:

1. Sherry Gillman Blackburn, g-granddaughter of Columbus (Lum) Scalf, Lum was the son of James Breckenridge Scalf, son of Brittan Scalf.
2. Martin Willard and his father, Norman Willard, Jr. Norman is the son of James Andrew Scalf. James Andrew was the son of Henry Amos Witch Scalf. Amos was the son of James Brittan Scalf, son of Jeremiah Scalf, son of Brittan Scalf.
3. Jennifer Boyd, descendent of Mary Granny Scalf Mills daughter of Brittan Scalf and Talitha Couch.
4. Virgil Scalf - Kentucky Records and census searches - Virgil is a escendent of Peter Scalf and Charlotte Hubbard Scalf. Peter was a brother to Brittan Scalf.
5. Chronicles of the Scalf Family by Henry P. Scalf.
6. Sharon Ratliff, granddaughter of Willie Morgan Scalf

A link to Chronicles of the Scalf Family is provided here to review the writings of Henry Scalf on the Brittan Scalf family. Although Chronicles of the Scalf Family is referenced frequently here, only one link will be listed to save space. The line of Brittan Scalf and Talitha Couch can be found in Chapter VIII of Chronicles of the Scalf Family.

Due to the number of family members buried at Rainey Valley and Silver Creek Cemeteries as well as Mt. Hope Cemetery in Lewis County, Washington, we feel it necessary to provide the links to these cemeteries for descendants of these lines. There appears to be family members from the marital lines of the Scalf family also buried in these cemeteries. Rainey Valley Cemetery listings are listed at two separate URL addresses; therefore, both links to the Cemeteries for Rainey Valley are listed to save space and to avoid linking to the same site so many times.

BRITTAN SCALF
Son of
John Scalf, Sr. & Edeah Carlisle
Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

Brittan Scalf was born 1800 - 1810 according to several census records. The fact that there was only one male child in the home of John Scalf Sr. in 1800 certainly suggests that Brittan was not born before 1800. We believe from the available records that this son would have been John Scalf Jr.

A male is listed on the 1820 Russell County, Virginia census as 16-18 years old and is most likely Brittan. This calculates his birth date at 1802-1804. Brittan’s name has been spelled various ways in the records and it is unknown exactly what the correct spelling might have been but the most common spelling was Britton. However, due to fact that several in this line of the family were named Brittan with the spelling Brittan and are assumed to have been named for their ancestor, the spelling of Brittan will be referred to in this chapter.

Brittan’s parents, John and Edy Carlisle Scalf named two sons William. The first William died at a young age and the second son named William had died by 1845 but appears to have been living with the family in Russell County, Virginia in the 1830’s.

Although no records have been found to determine when Brittan’s brother, William #1 was born or when he died, it would appear that William #1 was born and died between census records and was most likely born between John Jr. and Brittan.

John Sr. and Edy Carlisle were married 1787 with their first children, Nancy, Polly and John Jr. being born 1788, 1789 and 1790 respectively. There is a span of approximately, ten years between the estimated births of John Jr. and Brittan. Of course there were daughters born between these years as well but it certainly appears that William #1 was also born during this time.

Brittan Scalf married Talitha Couch of Russell County, Virginia. From a careful review of the tax and census records, it appears that Brittan and Talitha were married 1820 - 1825 as their first son, Jeremiah, was born 1822 or 1823. As can be seen from the tax lists of Russell County, Virginia, Jeremiah had reached the age of 21 and was head of house by 1845.

It is stated in Chronicles of the Scalf Family that Archibald was the oldest child of Brittan and Talitha but Archibald does not appear on the tax lists of Russell County, to indicate that he had reached the age of 21 before the family moved to Kentucky. On the 1850 census of Pike County, Kentucky, Archibald is listed as 17 years old and would have been born 1833, some ten or so years later than Jeremiah.

It is also stated in Chronicles of the Scalf Family that Talitha was the daughter of John and Fanny Couch and the granddaughter of Jeremiah Couch, Sr. of Russell County, Virginia. This also is questionable as John Couch whose wife was Fanny, would have been too young to be Talitha’s father.

No marriage record has been found for Brittan and Talitha but they most likely married in Russell County, Virginia. Talitha’s family was certainly living there at the same time as Brittan’s family. We can only speculate on the approximate time of the marriage with help from the census records in relation to the birth of their oldest child, Jeremiah.

We do know that Brittan was married by the enumeration of the 1830 census for he appears as head of house in Russell County, Virginia. We also believe that Brittan was in his father’s home in 1820.

Census records and tax lists of Russell County, Virginia are listed below in support of the above statements. For an explanation of how to read the tax lists, please see the chapter on John Scalf, Jr. A brief explanation of the personal property tax lists is listed here:

If someone was listed as head of house on a personal property tax list with only one male named such as one white male over 16 it can be safely assumed that this was the head of house and was at least 21 years of age. If there was more than one male listed, such as 2 white males over the age of 16 it can be safely assumed that the head of house was at least 21 years old and had a son at least 16 years old but under the age of 21. The same can be said for any number following the name of the head of house.

These are the official dates for the census enumerations:

This does not mean that every household was enumerated on the exact date above. This simply means that this was the official day the enumerations began in a particular year.

1820 Russell Co VA

SCALF, John 152-A

1830 Russell Co VA

SCALF, Brittan

The first mention of Brittan Scalf in the Russell County Records is the following court minutes of Russell County. It appears that Brittan had been fighting with John Long and was fined $1.00 each.

March 4, 1828 - page 1- 2

They also presented John Long and Brittan Scalf for an assault; and then the grand jury having nothing further to present, was discharged.

John Long & Brittan Scalf who stand, presented by the Grand Jury for an assault committed on each other - the said John Long in his proper person & the said Brittan Scalf by Jeremiah Couch came into Court and by consent of the Court confessed judgments for a fine, each of one dollar each, and paid down in Court the said fines and the Clerks and Commonwealths attornies fees. (Russell County Court Minutes, March 4, 1828, pg. 1-2)

Brittan then appears on the 1833 tax list of Russell County, Virginia. He was taxed on himself and no sons were of the age to be taxed in this year. This tax list does not reveal where Brittan was living in 1833. Sharon Carter, a Trent Family researcher, sent this tax list to me.

RUSSELL CO VA PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX LIST 1833 - 1850

1833B
February 2

Scalf, Brittan - 1 white male over 16 - 3 horses

In the same year, Brittan was appointed overseer of the roads from the South of Clinch River to Reeds Valley. This was probably the neighborhood where Brittan lived at this time, as this was a common practice. Folks were appointed by the court to maintain the roads or to build a road in their neighborhood when needed. At this term of court, it was Brittan’s turn. Sometimes the appointed surveyor would also collect the taxes for the year. In 1833, Brittan was appointed surveyor in place of Jeremiah Couch whom we believe was Brittan’s father-in-law.

May 7, 1833 - page 17

Ordered that Brittain Scalf be appointed Surveyor of the roads from the South bank of Clinch River to the Reeds Valley road in the room of Jeremiah Couch, and that Henry Dickenson gent do furnish him with a list of Tithables.  (Russell County Road Surveys, May 7, 1833, pg.17)

In 1834, Brittan was living in the Western District along with his father and several brothers.

Scalf, Brittan 1 white male over 16 - 3 horses

Brittan is missing from the 1835 and 1836 tax lists of Russell County and may have been gone from home at this time. His brothers, Ira, Peter, Jesse, Robert and a John Scalf were in Clay County, Kentucky in 1836 but not before this time. The John Scalf listed on the 1836 Clay County tax list could have been either was John Scalf, Sr. or John Scalf, Jr. We have been unable to determine from available records which John this was. Brittan was not found on the 1836 tax list of Clay County but the other family members were. It is possible that Brittan might have gone with them to Clay County, Kentucky but returned to Russell County, Virginia before the tax list was taken for that year.

By 1837, Brittan is again taxed in Russell County. Again, no district is listed for this tax list. It is reported that Brittan was in the horse business and may have been gone from home in 1835 and 1836 due to this reason.

1837
March 7

Scalf, Brittan  1 white male over 16 - 3 horses

Also, in December of 1837 Brittan Scalf is found in the records of Russell County, Virginia recording the purchase of land from Thomas Tate. The name of Brittan’s wife Talitha is spelled Delitha on this record but descendants state that her name was Talitha.

In the next year (1838) Brittan is again appointed surveyor of the road from the top of the hill west to Jefferson Jesse’s to Richard Longs. This was probably his neighborhood as well or at least very close to it.

April 3, 1838 - page 501

Ordered that Brittan Scalf be appointed Surveyor of the road from the top of the hill west of Jefferson Jessee’s to Richard Longs in the room of Richard B. Long, and that James Dickenson gent, do furnish him with a list of Tithables.  (Russell County Court Minutes, April 3, 1838, pg. 501)

On April 19^th Brittan is again listed on the 1838 Russell County tax list but is now living in the Eastern District along with his brother, John Scalf, Jr.

1838A   Eastern District
April 19

Scalf, Brittan   1 white male over 16 - 2 horses

In 1839, Brittan is again listed on the tax list but is missing again in 1840. No district is listed for this tax list.

1839B

Scalf, Brittian   1 white male over 16 - 2 horses

On June 5, 1830, Brittan is found charged with a debt of $39.00 and is ordered to pay the debt. This was probably related to the business that Brittan owned. It is stated in Chronicles of the Scalf Family that Brittan was in business as a horse-drover.

Wednesday, June 5th 1839 - page 52

Andy F. Hendricks - plaintiff
  against
Brittan Scalf - defendant

This day came the plaintiff by his attorney and the defendant not yet appearing, it is considered by the Court, that the judgment obtained in the Clerk’s office be made final and that the plaintiff recover against the debt $39. 23 the debt in the declaration mentioned with interest thereon to be compensated after the act of ___(?) per annum from the 2d day of August 1837 till paid and his costs by him about his (since in their behalf expended). [This sentence is difficult to read.]  (Brittan - June 5 1839 - pg. 52)

By the enumeration of the 1840 census, Brittan’s family had grown to include four more children and possibly five, if the older daughter from the 1830 census had left the home as believed. This would be a total of nine children.

The names of the family members listed below are assumed to be in the order in which Brittan's children were born and were added by this author. These names were not listed on the 1840 census.

1840 Russell Co VA As of 1 June 1840

SCALF, Brittan

As can be seen on this census, there is no daughter in the home of Brittan on the 1840 census listed around the same age as the older daughter on the 1830 census. However, there are now three daughters in the home of Brittan and Talitha whereas there were only two in 1830. Due to the approximate births of these females, it would appear that the older daughter was born about 1825 and the other two daughters 1830 - 1840. The children appear to line up as follows:

The assumed lineup of Brittan and Talitha’s children above does correspond closely to their ages listed on later census records. Henry P. Scalf, author of Chronicles of the Scalf Family, grandson of Hezekiah Scalf was told that a daughter named Nancy married and went west where she was killed by Indians. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII) This information cannot be confirmed at this time.

Brittan is listed consistently from 1841 through 1845 on the tax lists of Russell County, Virginia with the exception of a couple of years. He does not appear after the 1845 tax list due to his death in 1845.

Note the various spellings of his name on these tax lists. By the time of the 1841 tax list was taken Brittan had a son at least 16 years old. This should be Jeremiah who was probably at least 17 years old here, estimating his birth date around 1824. Scalf Family History, page 190 lists Archibald as the oldest son of Brittan and Talitha; however, the tax lists of Russell County, Virginia and the 1850 Floyd County, Kentucky census suggest that Jeremiah was the oldest son.

1841B

Scalf, Brittian   2 white males over 16 - 2 horses

Scalf, Brittian   2 white males over 16 - 2 horses

Scalf, Brittan   2 white males over 16 - 2 horses

In 1844 Brittan still has a son old enough to be tithed. By the year 1845, Jeremiah is in his own home and Brittan still has a son old enough to be tithed in this year. This was probably John Henry if the census records are near correct.

Scalf, Brittian   2 white males over 16 - 2 horses

In Russell County, Virginia in October of 1844, Brittan was paid $2.00 for guarding a prisoner.

Tuesday, October 8th 1844 - page 406

The following accounts were presented in Court, and allowed; it appearing to the Court that former guards were necessary to the safe conveyance of the prisoners to the jail of Russell County, which is ordered to be certified to the Auditor of public accounts; Benjamin Haley, $2.76; Brittan Scalf $2. 76; Hezakiah Hamon $2.76 and William Hale $2.76.  (Brittan, Oct. 8, 1844-pg-406)

In 1845, Brittan still has one son that has reached the age of 16 and as stated above, is likely John Henry. Jeremiah is in his own home as head of house and taxed in this year.

1845B

Scalf, Britten   2 white males over 16   3 horses

1845B

Scalf, Jeremiah   1 white male over 16   2 horses

On July 8, 1845 in Russell County, Virginia, Brittan and his wife sold property to Anderson Williams. This would be the last record found of Brittan Scalf.

Tuesday, July 8th 1845 - page 452

A list of Conveyances admitted to record by the Clerk of the Court since the last Term.
“An Indenture of bargain and sale for land from Brittan Scalf & wife to Anderson Williams, acknowledged before two Justices.  (Brittan-1845-pg. 452)

Brittan died sometime after July 17, 1845 when the deposition was made by Patsy Counts Scalf in Hawkins County, Tennessee. It is reported that Brittan was killed by a falling tree while working on the roads in Russell County.

Brittan’s widow, Talitha Scalf and their son, Jeremiah appears on the 1846 tax list of Russell County. Unfortunately, there is no month listed for this tax list to help us narrow down a more approximate date of death for Brittan.

Talitha is then gone in 1847 but Jeremiah remains and is listed in 1847 but is not found in Russell County in 1848. There were no Scalfs listed on the tax lists after 1847 in Russell County, Virginia. It should be noted here that Talitha’s name often appears as Delitha and Delila in Russell County, Virginia.

1846B

Scalf, Delila   1 white male over 16   3 horses (Talitha)

Russell County, Virginia Tax list:

Scalf, Jeremiah 1 white male over 16  2 horses

1848 - No Scalfs

1849 - No Scalfs

1850 - No Scalfs

Patsy Counts Scalf stated in her deposition in Hawkins County, Tennessee, that Brittan had nineteen children by the year 1845. This was surely a mistake on the clerk’s part in interpreting what Patsy said. Patsy might have said something similar to, Brittan has nine or ten children and the clerk heard nineteen. It does not appear reasonable that Brittan and Talitha could have had that many children between 1823 and 1845. The tax lists of Russell County, Virginia also confirm that Brittan did not have sons old enough to be tithed before 1841 and the grandson's of Brittan confirmed to Henry P. Scalf that they had never know of this many children.

The 1830 census should have reflected a larger number of children if there had been 19 children in the Brittan Scalf family. It is the opinion of this researcher that the number 19 on the deposition given by Patsy Counts Scalf was either an error on the part of the clerk, or cause by an extra stroke of the pen.

Eight known children of the Brittan Scalf family have been found and are listed below along with as many descendants as we know at this time. Brittan Scalf died between July 17, 1845 and before the 1846 tax list was taken in Russell County, Virginia, as his wife was listed as head of house on the 1846 tax list. His family then moved over to Pike and Floyd County, Kentucky.

TALITHA (COUCH) SCALF
Wife of Brittan Scalf

Talitha was last found in Russell County, Virginia on the tax list of 1846. It is a matter of record that Talitha moved to Pike County, Kentucky. Talitha was found on the 1850 census listed as Talitha SKATH. Chronicles of the Scalf Family states that Talitha left Russell County, Virginia the year following Brittan’s death. Brittan died in late 1845. Talitha was found on the tax list of Russell County in 1846 but could have moved after the taxes were collected for this year and if so, would have made the move to Kentucky in 1846, which would have been the year after Brittan’s death as stated by Henry P. Scalf.

It was suggested by both Henry P. Scalf and Elmer D. Scalf that Talitha was the daughter of John and Fanny Couch. However, the records suggest that Jeremiah Couch, Sr. was the father of Talitha and not his son John.

Jeremiah Couch first appeared in Russell County in 1810 living in the upper district. Jeremiah was taxed on one tithable other than himself, suggesting he had a son who had reached the age of 16 or over in 1810.

The only other Couch family member living in Russell County, Virginia was a William Couch listed on the 1800 and 1801 personal property tax lists of Russell County. In 1801, William Couch had one tithable. William could have been the father of Jeremiah or a brother. However, William had left the area after 1801 and was not found in Russell County. He might have died or simply moved from the area.

There were no other Couch families in Russell County listed on the tax or census records other than Jeremiah Sr. until 1840 when John Couch and Jeremiah Couch, Jr. appear. John was listed as 30 - 40 years old and would have been near the age of Talitha according to the estimation of her age from the census records. Talitha was listed as 30 - 40 years old in 1840 as well. It appears that Talitha, John and Jeremiah Couch, Jr. were actually siblings.

Jeremiah Sr. was born 1770 - 1780. He appears as head of house in 1820 with eight females and four males in the home other than himself and his wife. In 1830, only one older female other than his wife was listed suggesting two of the females had married.

In 1850, we find Jeremiah listed as 74 years old estimating a birth date of 1776. It appears that his wife had died. There is a Polly in the home aged 35 and was likely another daughter. Jeremiah Couch, Sr. was born in Grayson County, Virginia and Polly was born in Russell County also indicating this was his daughter.

Jeremiah Couch does not appear on the 1860 census of Russell County. John Couch and his wife Fanny do appear on the 1860 census. John also appeared on the 1850 census with his wife Fanny who was listed as 40 years old in 1850. However, in 1860, Fanny appears to be 84 years old. Fanny should have been 50 years old in 1860. Reviewing the 1860 census suggests that this was most likely intended to be 54 instead of 84 and could be mistaken for 84 due to the handwriting of the enumerator. Couch descendants might be able to help with this.

It is the opinion of this researcher that Jeremiah Couch, Sr. was the father of Talitha Couch Scalf and not John and Fanny Couch due to the ages of John and Talitha.

Henry Scalf stated in Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII that Talitha lived to be in her 80’s. The grandmother of Norah James Scalf, wife of Henry recalled her remembrance of Talitha at her home at Moree. Mrs. Robinson stated the following to Henry P. Scalf. Talitha was a good horsewoman in her advanced years, Mrs. Robinson noted, and would ride alone from the Johns Creek section to the home of Levy Scalf on Big Creek, a considerable distance over rugged trails for an aged woman. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

Reverend Alex Blankenship, a highly respected minister recalled the location of Talitha’s grave. The Blankenship cemetery, on lands owned for years by the Rev. Alex Blankenship, is on a high point overlooking Johns Creek, near the present (1965) postoffice of McCombs, Pike County. Talitha was buried at the neck of the point where the promontory begins to extend away from the hill. The grave is unmarked. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

It cannot be confirmed that Talitha Couch Scalf lived to be in her 80’s, due to the fact that she was not found after the 1850 census. This is not to say that she is not listed on a census after 1850; however, a thorough search of the census records and tax lists of Kentucky and Virginia as well as other states has been undertaken and have failed to produce Talitha Scalf by any variation of the surname.

Given the lack of evidence concerning Talitha, we cannot confirm that she did live this long and we must rely on the above statement by Mrs. Robinson. Talitha might have been living in the home of someone else. If she were living with another family she would not be listed on a tax list or as head of house on a census record.

The 1850 census confirms that John Henry Scalf was the oldest son in the home of Talitha Scalf in Pike County, Kentucky and was probably the son listed as 16 or over in the home of Brittan Scalf in 1846 after Jeremiah had married. This census also confirms that Elizabeth was the next child born to Brittan and Talitha and was born around 1829 or 1830. There was one older daughter on the 1830 census of Russell County, Virginia that was missing from the 1840 census of Russell County. This was not Mary Scalf daughter of Brittan and Talitha, for Mary was born around 1835.

Mary is listed on the 1850 census as Mary T. Scath. We do not know what the T might have represented but the name Talitha comes to mind if this was in fact, a T. It could just as easily have been a (J) or an (I).

1850 Pike Co KY     13 September 1850

Section 1.0

JEREMIAH SCALF
Son of
Brittan Scalf & Talitha Couch
Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

Jeremiah Scalf was the oldest son of Brittan and Talitha and was born 1823-1825. The 1850 census of Floyd County, Kentucky suggests 1823. Jeremiah married Sarah Sally Byington and this couple was found in Floyd County, Kentucky in 1850. On the 1850 census of Floyd County, Kentucky, Jeremiah was listed as Jeremiah SCARF. Tax records of Pike County, Kentucky show that Jeremiah moved to Pike County, Kentucky from Russell County, Virginia. However, by 1850, Jeremiah was living in Floyd County and by 1860 he was back in Pike County.

Jeremiah and Sarah could have married in Russell County, Virginia; however, there were no Brinstone families living in that area in 1840. Jeremiah may have met his wife in Kentucky on a trip there to visit relatives or on a trip with his father concerning the horse business. They most likely married around 1845 according to the birth of their first child.

Henry Scalf states that Jeremiah went to Kentucky to be with his uncles, Robert, Jesse and Peter and states Jeremiah could have married in Virginia and might have met Sarah in Kentucky. (See Chronicles of the Scalf Family at the above link)

In 1860 Jeremiah is listed as SCOLF on the census index. Review of this microfilm does in fact show that the name was spelled SCOLF by the enumerator. This enumerator also listed the household number beside of Jeremiah’s wife instead of Jeremiah resulting in Jeremiah appearing to have been living in the home of his brother Levi on this census. Levi is spelled Levy on this census. Levi’s family was living next door to Jeremiah in 1860. Both surnames are spelled SCOLF.

Jeremiah died sometime between 1858 and 1864 for the records show that his last child, Henry Amos Scalf was born about 1859. Jeremiah’s widow, Sarah Brinstone Scalf remarried in 1864 to Leroy Vaughn.

Due to the timing of the death of Jeremiah Scalf, it is very possible he served in the Civil War. descendants of this line might benefit from a search of the military records of Pike County, Kentucky. Jeremiah might have been with a home guard unit and if so, there may not be a record of his service.

As noted above, Jeremiah was listed as head of house and taxed beginning in 1845 in Russell County Virginia. This tax list confirms that Jeremiah was the oldest son of Brittan and Talitha. No other son was found old enough to be listed on this tax list as head of house.

Jeremiah was not found on the tax lists of Russell County, Virginia in 1848 and was not found in Kentucky in 1848. However, Jeremiah first appears in Pike County, Kentucky on the 1849 tax list of that year.

Jeremiah was found as head of house in 1850 in Floyd County, Kentucky and listed as Jeremiah SCARF.

1850 Floyd Co KY        5 August 1850

Note: Even though this is the same family in 1850 & 1860, the age of Jeremiah and Sarah, as well as the children raise a few questions in comparing the two census records. Jeremiah’s age in 1850 is most likely nearer correct than the 1860 census as well as the family members. Jeremiah named his oldest son James Brittan probably in honor of his father who died the year James Brittan was born. The 1850 census suggests that James Brittan was born 1845 in Kentucky, which also suggests that Jeremiah was in Kentucky at some point in 1845. If his age was correct on this census, he would have been born in Russell County, Virginia unless Jeremiah had married in Kentucky and James Brittan was born there before his father went back to Russell County, Virginia, which is also possible.

1860 Pike Co KY     24 July 1860

After the death of Jeremiah, Sarah Brinstone Scalf remarried to Leroy Vaughn August 26, 1864 according to Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII.

This marriage record has not been found at this time but is cited in Chronicles of the Scalf Family. The census record of 1870 Pike County, Kentucky does show Leroy Vaughn and Sarah with a child Emma T. and two of the children of Jeremiah and Sarah in the home. (See Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

Mary, daughter of Jeremiah and Sarah was born 1854 according to the 1860 census of Pike County. There is no child named Mary listed on the 1870 census. However, there is a child named Talitha A. Scalf who appears to be the correct age to have been Mary from the 1860 census; however, we cannot verify that Mary and Talitha were the same person and due to the incorrect ages from census to census, there might have been a child named Mary that died.

Mary was not found after the 1860 census and Talitha was found only on the 1870 census in the home of her mother Sarah Brinstone Scalf Vaughn and stepfather, Leroy Vaughn. This also adds to the confusion since Talitha was born around 1854 and should have been in Jeremiah’s home in 1860.

Lissy, listed on the 1860 census appears to be Sarah M. on the 1870 census and was probably named Sarah Melissa and used Lissy as a short name for Melissa. Melissa (Lissy) married John Adams.

Once again, the name SCALF is spelled differently on the 1870 census. It is now spelled SCAFF. This is very plainly spelled SCAFF on this census by the enumerator.

1870 Pike Co KY    29 July 1870    District #5  Piketon

By the enumeration of the 1880 census, all the children of Jeremiah and Sarah are gone from the home. The only child left at home is the daughter of Leroy and Sarah Brinstone Scalf Vaughn.

1880 Pike Co KY    11 June 1880    Lower Johns Creek   Dist #5

Emma from the 1870 census and Tennessee from the 1880 census were most likely the same person even though there is an age difference. Emma was the daughter of Leroy and Sarah.

From the 1870 Pike County census we find the family of Mitchell Nunnery and wife Elizabeth. William Scalf, son of Jeremiah and Sarah Brinstone Scalf, is living in the home at this time. William's name was again spelled SCAFF on these census records.

William also appears to have been listed twice in this year. He was enumerated once in the home of his mother Sarah Brinstone Scalf and stepfather Leroy Vaughn and once in the home of Mitchell and Elizabeth Nunnery. This is unusual as the census was recorded on the same date. However, we know of no other William Scaff/Scalf in the area and his age is exactly the same in both households.

1870 Pike Co KY    29 July 1870    District #5   Piketon

Information from Chronicles of the Scalf Family reveals that the Mitchell Nunnery family was living near the Scalf family in Pike County, Kentucky and that Hezekiah had built a house up the valley. The home of Mitchell Nunnery was located above Hezekiah.  See Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

Section 1.1

JAMES BRITTAN SCALF
Son of
Jeremiah Scalf and Sarah Brinstone
James B<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

James Brittan Bud Scalf was the oldest son of Jeremiah Scalf and Sarah Brinstone. According to the entry in Find a Grave, James was born May 18, 1845 in Clay County, Kentucky and died June 18, 1914 in Lewis County, Washington.

NOTE: Find a Grave is not considered documenation. Anyone can create an entry and put any dates and locations they want. At this time, we do not have documentation to verify this date. Unfortunately, the individual maintaining the entry does not accept messages; therefore, we cannot communicate with them to find their source of information.

James Brittan Scalf married Mary Elizabeth Thompson (b. Mar. 2, 1847 and died Mar. 22, 1934) probably around 1865 according to the birth of his first child, Jinsey L. Scalf who was born 1866. Jinsey would have been fourteen years old in 1880 but apparently died sometime before the 1880 census for she was not listed in the home on the 1880 census.

James Brittan was not found after 1880 and it assumed that he died 1880 - 1900. His wife, Mary Elizabeth Thompson Scalf was found as head of house in 1900 and listed as a widow. She was not found in 1910 but was found again as head of house in 1920 and still widowed. She was still living in 1930 in the home of her son, John Wesley and his second wife, Emma Music Scalf in Chehalis (Lewis Co) Washington.

Mary Elizabeth Thompson Scalf was listed as Grandma Scalf in her obituary. The obituary reads as follows:

  Grandma Scalf, 88, mother of John Scalf, died Friday at the home of her son. She was buried Sunday at Rainey Valley Cemetery. The date of this obituary was 16 March 1934. (Lewis County Historical Museum)

More information for this family can be found in Chronicles of the Scalf Family.

Census records are presented below to confirm these families.

1870 Floyd Co KY     15 August 1870   Prct #7   Prestonsburg

At this time, we are unaware of any death records for Jinsey, but because she did not appear in the 1880 Census we assume that she died prior to that date.

WILLIAM WAYNE (WILLIE) SCALF
Son of
James Brittain Scalf & Mary Thompson
William W<James Brittan<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

William Wayne Scalf was born February 28, 1870 in Floyd County, Kentucky and died January 3, 1931 in Chehalis, Lewis County, Washington. William was killed in a car accident. He is buried at Silver Creek Cemetery in Chehalis, Washington. Interestingly, William’s headstone lists his name as William J. Scalf. Chronicles of the Scalf Family lists his name as William Wayne. The headstone listing could be a transcribing error.

William married Martha F. DeRossett, daughter of Thomas Jefferson DeRossett and Nancy Jane Goble in Floyd County, Kentucky. Martha was born 1874 and died 1949. She is also buried at Silver Creek Cemetery.

This family had moved to Lewis County, Washington by 1911. Willie was a government bounty hunter and had moved to Washington before the DeRossett family had made the move. His wife, Martha DeRossett wrote such glowing letters back home to Kentucky about the good hunting, fishing, etc., that her brother, Ike DeRossett decided to also make the trip to Washington.

Ike married Gracie Porter and this family also traveled to Lewis County, Ike brought his and Martha’s parents Thomas Jefferson DeRossett and Nancy Jane Goble DeRossett along to Lewis County. Thomas DeRossett was born 1840 and died 1918. Nancy Jane Goble DeRossett was born 1843 and died 1919 just one year after her husband’s death. Both are buried at the Silver Creek Cemetery in Lewis County, Washington.

Their son, Isaac Napoleon (Ike) DeRossett was born 1877 and died 1968 in Lewis County, Washington. He married Grace Porter DeRossett born 1886 and died 1979 in Lewis County, Washington. Both are buried at Silver Creek Cemetery. Ike and Gracie were the parents of seven children. Only six lived to adulthood:

1. Raymond was born August 14, 1905 and died September 9, 1993. His wife was Alberta I Gardner. She was born April 25, 1907 (no death date known).
2. Elkanna Kaney was born February 18, 1910 and died June 26, 1992. He married Elsie Collins. She was born February 28, 1915 and died June 16, 1973. Elkanna (E.K.) and Elsie are buried at Sliver Creek Cemetery in Lewis County, Washington.
3. Anna (Eunice) married Ruel Gillmore - three children.
4. Edna May died as a baby from whooping cough.
5. Bert (no dates) Never married.
6. Hubert Leonard born 1919. Married Irene Smeltzer and had a daughter.
7. Herbert Jack born 1919. Married Delia McMurray and they had a daughter.

The journey to Lewis County took its toll on these families. Several of the families lost children; some died during the trip and some died afterwards. Some births and deaths of these families were found on the Lewis County, Washington website. (See Silver Creek Cemetery Listings)

Another interesting piece of information was found on the Lewis County, Washington website. This article was written by Tami (DeRossett) Moorcroft and inserted here with her permission.

LINK TO A PHOTOGRAPH OF THIS FAMILY (courtesy of Tami DeRossett Moorcraft)

My grandparents came from Floyd County, KY in 1911. My granddad, Isaac (Ike) Napoleon DeRossett, brought my gram, Gracie (Porter), their 3 kids Raymond, Anna Eunice, and Elkanna. Along with them he brought his parents, Thomas Jefferson DeRossett and Nancy Jane (Goble). In Kentucky, they left brothers and sisters - the parents never seeing their other kids again. When I started doing genealogy, I started in Floyd county and I found a few distant cousins from the DeRossett side. After 3 years, I was thinking none of the kids of the brothers and sisters still lived back there. But this last spring I came in contact with my 3rd cousin, and he was so generous to send me some pictures to look at that he did not know [the people in the pictures were]. And low and behold, [it] was a picture of my grandparents, sent to his grandmother (who was my grandad's sister), taken of them after they moved out here. None of us out here had ever seen the picture and I was totally thrilled to get it. I believe this picture was taken in Vance, [judging from] the mountains in the distance and knowing where they lived at this time. My gram looks awful. I believe this [must have been] right after she lost her 6 month old baby girl to whooping cough. She had ivory skin and in this picture she looks so dark. Not a happy time for her. She told me that after she lost her baby, she thought she was going to lose her mind. What made it really hard for her was she had no family of her own out here, as Grandad had his sister, Martha DeRossett Scalf, and her husband Will, and kids ,and his parents, [all of whom] he brought [with them]. She said she held Edna (the baby) and wouldn’t let any one take her. because in the days before she died she would get to coughing and she would stop breathing and turn blue. And then all of a sudden she would catch her breath and come back. But she held her for over 6 hours after she died, thinking she would come back. How hard our poor grandparents had it. How sad and how homesick my gram must have been, and none of us understanding that they had a life before here. I wish I had paid more attention, but it wasn’t real to me. I just didn’t stop and think what she had gone through. Everytime a letter came from back there, she would get tears in her eyes and put her apron up over them. She was a wonderful and loving woman. I still miss her and her big hugs. Such a change from her generation to mine. (Tami DeRossett Moorcraft)

Thomas Scalf & Helen Grace
Floyd<Thomas J<Willie<James Brittan<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

Floyd’s middle name appears occasionally as THOMAS or as a middle initial of either T. or J. Because his father’s name was THOMAS JAMES SCALF, many online family trees have assumed his middle name was JAMES. However, most likely his middle name was THOMAS and the cursive T was mistakenly transcribed as a J

Floyd was born April 11, 1918 in Randle, Lewis County Washington and died January 23, 2006 in Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington. He served in the US Navy during WWII and received the Purple Heart for injuries he sustained during the war.

Floyd married:

1. Julia Anna June McCully (b. 1922 - d. 1994) on March 12, 1939 in Kallispell, Flathead County, Montana. She was the daughter of Wilbur J. and Mary (Rubenok) McCully. They appear in the 1940 Census.

OBITUARY FOR MYRL SCALF - A gathering of remembrance for Myrl Scalf, 83, of Medford who died February 12, will be held on Thursday, February 16th from 2-4:00 p.m. at the Conger-Morris Chapel in Medford.

Myrl Scalf, 83, was born in 1922 in Morton, Washington to Helen Grace and Thomas James Scalf. He lived with his family of one sister, Audrey Dillon, and three brothers, Howard, Wilford, and Floyd. Myrl graduated from high school in Morton, WA in 1941 and joined the Navy soon after. He served on a submarine, the U.S.S. Gar 206 during WWII. After the war he attended Barber College in Spokane. He lived in Morton, WA with his first wife and son, Ronald. Sadly, Ronald Rocky preceded him in death in 1992.

In 1971, he married Geraldine Raty and they had a daughter, Dawnelle, the star of his existence. To support his family, Myrl worked for many years as an independent contractor installing and selling mobile homes around the Medford and Ashland areas. For the past 20 years, Myrl was the loving companion to Bea Parker of Medford, who survives him. In 2005, Dawnelle and her husband, Jeremy Wynia blessed him with a grandson, Cade, whom he adored.

Myrl was a kind and gentle man who took care of his family and lived his life with dignity and honor. He will be missed.

AUDREY MAE SCALF
Daughter of
Thomas Scalf & Helen Grace
Audrey<Thomas J<Willie<James Brittan<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

Audrey Mae Scalf was born April 2, 1924 in Randle, Lewis County, Washington and died May 17, 1999 in Windsor, Sonoma County, California.

Audrey married:

1. Ray Fonso Bartley (b. May 4, 1920 in Swofford, Lewis County, Washington - d. Jan 8, 1974 in Lewis County) on Jan. 30, 1943 in Pierce County, Washington. This relationship leads to some confusion. There is a Ray F. Bartley, son of George W. and Evelyn (Eveline) Bartley, married Hazel Smith on May 6, 1939. In 1940 Census, Ray and Hazel have an 11-month-old daughter, Shirley. The couple are still together in the 1950 Census and have a second daughter. On the marriage record, his place of birth and current residence is listed as Riffe, Washington, which no longer exists - it was submerged with teh Mossyrock Dam was built in 1968. Birth records for Ray Fonso Bartley list his parents as George W. Barley and Lydia Bartley, both born in Kentucky, and birth location as Swofford, Washington, now on the shores of Riffe Lake. So it would appear that Ray Fonso Bartley and Ray F. Bartley are the same person.
   
   But this leads to questions about the mother Lydia or Eveline Bartley. According to Kentucky marriage records, George W.[Washington] Bartley married Eveline Bartley on April 20, 1898 in Pike County, Kentucky. After George Bartley died on Apr. 10, 1924, Eveline married George Floyd Stinson. Her death certificate lists her name as Lydia Evelyne Stinson, and the headstone shared with George W. Bartley lists her name as Evelyn Stinson.
   
   Although there is no record at this time, it would appear that after the birth of their first daughter, Shirley, Ray and Hazel divorced. Ray then married Audrey, then enlisted and fought in WWII. Upon his return, he apparently divorced Audrey and remarried Hazel around 1946, since their youngest daughter, Diana, wass 4 years old in the 1950 census.


2. Robert Price Dillion (b. Dec. 19, 1921 in Kansas City, Wyandotte County, Kansas - d. July 9, 2011 in Windsor, Sonoma County, California) about 1944. They had two sons:
   1. Gerald Clinton Dillion - b. Dec. 21, 1945. He married:
      1. Debra M. Stoll (b. 1951) on Jan. 18, 1969 in Sonoma County, California, and divorced in Dec. 1969, also in Sonoma County.
      2. Donna Lee Rose (b. 1949) on Sep. 26, 1970 in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California, and divorced on Sep. 30, 1970 in Reno, Washoe County, Nevada.
      3. Debra Kay Smith (b. 1952) on Sep. 30, 1977 in Reno, Washoe County, Nevada.

JOSEPH KENNEL SCALF
Son of
William (Willie) Scalf & Martha DeRossett
Joseph K<Willie<James Brittan<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Sr<Lewis Scalf

Joseph Kennel Scalf was born May 13, 1894 in Pike County, Kentucky and died November 9, 1967 in Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington. Joseph was a WW1 Veteran. He is buried at Silver Creek Cemetery.

Chronicles of the Scalf Family states that Joseph married Mary Belle Bishop. However, the name listed on her headstone is Maybelle according to the transcribed cemetery listings. An article on the Lewis County, Washington website also confirms that her name was Maybelle. She was born December 4, 1898 in Stevens County, Washington and died March 23, 1929 in Longview, Cowlitz County, Washington. Maybelle is buried beside of Henry Bishop. Relationship, if any, is unknown. Maybelle was the daughter of David Crockett and Katherine Florence Effie (Sampson) Bishop. David was a Baptist minister. Henry is listed as her older brother in the 1900 Randle, Lewis County, Washington Census.

1900 Pierce CO WA    5 June 1900    Tacoma, 8th Ward, 1st Precinct

NOTE: Although Henry and Maybelle are listed as children of David Crockett Bishop (wife, Effie) in the 1900 Census, Effie would have been 50 at the time of Maybelle’s birth. Other daughters in the home at the time of the census were Maggie - 29, Nancy - 27, Rebecca - 25, Manda - 23, and Mary Jane - 21, and a son, Georgie - 19. Because there is a 17-year age gap between Georgie and Henry, we are left wondering if Henry and Maybelle might have been children from one of the older daughers, adopted by their grandparents, David and Effie.
A granddaugher of Maybelle’s daughter, Geneva, stated that Geneva looked like she was Indian. This suggest another possibility, that Henry and Maybelle were adopted Native American children.

The death date given for Maybelle (Mary Belle) in Chronicles of the Scalf Family by Henry Scalf does not match the death date listed on the headstone of Maybelle Scalf. according to Chronicles of the Scalf Family, she was born December 4, 1898 and died June 2, 1927. We do not know where Henry got this date but the Washington Death Records, 1883-1960 confirms she died March 23, 1929.

After Maybelle’s death, their children were split up and sent to live with relatives. Two of Joseph and Maybelle’s children were living in the home of their grandparents, William and Martha DeRossett Scalf in 1930. They appear to be the youngest children of Joseph Kennel Scalf and Maybelle Bishop Scalf.

One daughter of Joseph and Maybelle (Geneva) was living in the home of Joseph’s sister Cleo Alice Scalf Hackney in 1930. The other daughter, Lola, was living in the home of Rose Melvina Scalf Morris, another sister of Joseph. The article at the Lewis County website states that Joseph’s wife Maybelle died of pneumonia.

Lola<Joseph K<Willie<James Brittan<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

Lola Ann Scalf was born May 18, 1918 in Randle, Lewis County, Washington and died August 23, 1933, also in Randle. Her death record states Lola accidentally drowned while swimming (in the Cispus River) at age of 15.  (Link to Death Certificate)

She is buried at Silver Creek Cemetery in Randle.

NOTE: Chronicles of the Scalf Family contains some errors. It lists her middle name as Belle when it was Ann. It states she died in 1932 but her death certificate provides the correct date. Chronicles of the Scalf Family states that Lola drowned in the Cyprus River; however, it should have been the Cispus River.

Lola’s mother passed away in 1929 and Lola was sent to live with her aunt and uncle, Herbert Morris and Melvina Scalf Morris in 1930. Lola Belle died three years after this census was enumerated.

   From the two obituaries listed above, we find that John Wesley Snuffy Scalf married Lucille Hackney.

   We believe that Charles Hackney, husband of Alice Scalf, daughter of Willie Scalf and Martha DeRossett and Lucille Hackney Scalf were brother and sister. John Wesley Cooge Scalf was the father of Lucille’s husband, John Wesley Jr., which would make Alice and John Wesley, Jr. first cousins.

   JOHN WESLEY COOGE SCALF
   Son of
   James Brittan Scalf and Mary Elizabeth Thompson
   John Wesley<James Brittan<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

   John Wesley Scalf was born March 22, 1872 in Floyd County, Kentucky and died October 4, 1962 in Lewis County, Washington. John Wesley married first Martha Viola Clark born March 20, 1873, daughter of Addison and Sarah Adams Clark of Floyd County, Kentucky. John and Martha were married 25 June 1894 in Pike County, Kentucky.  (Pike County Marriages)

   Martha Clark Scalf died in Lewis County, Washington October 28, 1912. Martha died in childbirth to a daughter Nora V Scalf. Nora was born 1912 according to the 1920 census. Henry Scalf states there were nine children from this marriage; however the census records show only seven due to the fact that two daughters were born 1901 - 1905 and died before the enumeration of the 1910 census.

   In 1900 the family was found in Floyd County, Kentucky living at Dicks Creek. The oldest son was Rolan. We believe the correct spelling might have been Roland. The next children were William and General. Note that in Lewis County, Washington in 1910, Roland and William are missing.

   From the writings of Henry Scalf in Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Henry lists a letter written from Mrs. Mae Scalf Kirkpatrick, of Chehalis, Washington who states she was the daughter of John Wesley Scalf.

   In her letter, Mrs. Kirkpatrick stated that the two oldest sons, Rolan and Brian and the two oldest daughters, Elizabeth and Nellie, had contracted measles on the train on their way to Lewis County, Washington. Mrs. Kirkpatrick states that all of the children contracted the measles but the two older sons and two older daughters had died. Note on the 1900 census of Floyd County, Kentucky that Rolan is the oldest son and William is the next oldest son. William was probably the son named Brian Mrs. Kirkpatrick was speaking of.

   There is a span of five years between the births of General and George Quilven Scalf. This is probably when Elizabeth and Nellie were born. They would probably have been born around 1902 - 1905 and died around the ages of 5 - 8 years old. This would bring the total number of children to nine including Nora V. who was born last in 1912 in Lewis County, Washington.

   Mrs. Kirkpatrick states the following. She died at childbirth. Martha Viola Clark Scalf had died in childbirth to her daughter, Nora. Mrs. Kirkpatrick also stated that the five of them were living near her father at the time Mrs. Kirkpatrick wrote the letter. The remaining children would have been the five children who lived. Nora would have been included in these children.

   Mrs. Mae Kirkpatrick was Sarah M. Scalf listed on the 1910 and 1920 censuses of Lewis County, Washington.

   Mrs. Kirkpatrick stated that her father, John Wesley, then remarried to Emma Music, daughter of Marion and Caroline Crider Music. This family is found on the 1920 and 1930 census records of Lewis County, Washington. There were eleven children from this marriage but census records only show ten children.

   According to the writings of Henry P. Scalf, John Wesley was known in Kentucky as Cooge. John Wesley is buried at Rainey Valley Cemetery with several family members. It is unknown where Martha Viola Clark Scalf was buried. She is not listed in the cemetery listings of Rainey Valley but may be buried there without a headstone.

   John and Martha were found on both the 1900 and 1910 census.

   GENERAL LAFAYETTE (LEE) SCALF
   Son of
   John Wesley Scalf & Martha Viola Clark
   General Lee<John Wesley<James Brittan<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

   General Lee Scalf was the oldest living son of John Wesley Scalf and Martha Viola Clark. He was born February 22, 1899 and died 11 April 1985 at Port Townsend at the age of 86 (Death Record: 010969). He married Lucinda Taylor on May 11, 1929. Lucinda was born June 6, 1895 in Floyd County, Kentucky. Lucinda died 09 Oct 1975 at Port Townsend at the age of 80 (Death Record: 022792).

   Lucinda was married prior to her marriage to General. The son of Lucinda and her first husband is in the home in 1930 and reveals that Lucinda was married to a Hoyt prior to her marriage to General. Henry Scalf states that General and Lucinda were the parents of a son, Robert Scalf born Jan. 22, 1932.

His favorite places to camp or hunt were Fish Creek Valley, Hart, Steens Mountains, Kelsey Valley, and Jackson Creek. Allen went to Klamath Marsh for goose hunting. We have so many memories of going with him. He loved to hunt ducks, quail, geese, pigeons, pheasant and grouse, deer and elk. We still have his three trophy blacktail bucks and the once in a lifetime trophy bighorn sheep off Hart Mountain. Allen served in the US Army from April 15, 1953 in the Korean War, involved with troop transport to and from the infamous Pork Chop Hill. He was honorably discharged on April 18, 1955.

      Obituary of Coral Jean Miller
      

      Coral Jean Miller was born at home in Mineral, Washington on July 7, 1936 to Roland and Lenora (Sally) Harting. Her mother was from the pioneer Scalf family. Jean passed away on September 7, 2019 at the age of 83. Jean, who was raised in Elbe and Ashford, graduated from Eatonville High School in 1954. Most of her life was spent in Pierce County close to her birthplace. At the University of Washington, she trained as a nurse and later cared for patients at Lakewood General. Jean cofounded several businesses including Diagnostic Laboratories, Miller Feedmill, Tacoma Transloading, and Beer Perfect. In the 1970s she ran a campaign to join the local legislature and eventually became the Secretary Treasurer for the 2nd District Republicans. For many years she worked her political know-how and made very special friends there. In her down time, she had a heart for sailing and for a while was the President of TYC Shipmates. Jean loved dogs, horses, books, the YMCA, her country, and her friends and family. Her large circle of friends went from homeless people she generously helped to sitting US Presidents. Jean is remembered by her son Martin Miller (Kim); daughter Chris Anne Miller; grandson Jonathan Miller; and her many nieces, nephews, and beloved friends. The Miller family gives special thanks to Jean's friends and neighbors who blessed and helped them through recent events. A graveside service is scheduled for 2pm on Monday, September 16, 2019 at Rainey Valley Cemetery in Glenoma, Washington.

   Nora and Rowland divorced between 1940 and 1944. In the 1950 Census, Wayne is living with his father in the home of his paternal grandmother, but Jean is found with her mother and step-father.

   NOTE: There was some obvious confusion with Jean's entry. Her relationship to head-of-household is written step- daughter with son written above it. It also appears the enumerator started to change the J in Jean to a G. However, the gender remained unchanged as F (female). There is a line through her name, but no explanation or note that would have been necessary if a deletion had been intended. Based on the available information, we cannot determine whether Wayne and Jean went with different parents after the divorce, or one or the other just happened to be visiting the other parent when the census was taken. - Stephen Scalf

   Son of

   Lee Brittan<John Wesley<James Brittan<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

   Lee Brittan Scalf was the first child born to John Wesley Cooge Scalf and Emma Music on June 29, 1914 in Morton, Lewis County, Washington. In various records, Lee is interchangeably referred to as Lee Scalf, Lee B. Scalf, Lee Britten/Brittan/Britton Scalf, Britten/Britton Scalf, and Lee W. Scalf. As confusing as this may seem, the birthdates and other information associated with these names clealry indicate they all refer to the same individual.

   In the 1940 Census, Lee is found in the home of his sister, Minnie Alverda Scalf, and brother-in-law, Arthur Lowe.

   Lee W. Scalf enlisted in the Army on April 16, 1942 in Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington and was a WWII Veteran. It is obvious that he was stationed in England, where he met his wife, Ada Levinia Davies. Ana was born 21 July 1920 in Cwmbran, Monmouthshire, Wales to Ruth Davies (no father mentioned). Ruth was working as a domestic servant at that time. A vaccination record, dated August 31, 1920 provides her birthdate, address, and mother’s name.  (Link to Vaccination Record)

   The 1921 Wales Census provides greater information about Ada’s extended family.  (1921 Wales Census)

   According to the England and Wales, Civil Registration Marriage Index, 1916-2005, Lee married Ada Davies in July 1943 in Pontypool, Monmouthshire, Wales. (Actual Registration - Volume 11 a, p. 303) While still in Great Britain, Lee and Ada had their only child:

   • Mary Ruth Scalf - b. January 18, 1944 in Great Britain - d. September 5, 1976 in Morton, Lewis County, Washington. Ruth married John Dee Harvey II (b. 1926 - d. 1968) on August 10, 1963 in Imperial County, California.

   As listed in the Lewis County, Washington Death Index, Ana died July 14, 1967 Shelton, Mason County, Washington.

   OBITUARY FOR ADA L. SCALF - DATED 14 JULY 1967:

   Funeral services were Thursday afternoon at the Silver Brook Community Church near Randle for Mrs. Lee W. (Ada L.) Scalf, 46, a resident of Shelton for the past 12 years who died suddenly Friday in a Shelton hospital.
   The Rev. Raymond L. Hill officiated at the 1 p.m. service. Burial followed at the Rainey Valley Cemetery, Glenoma.
   Mrs. Scalf was born July 21, 1920, in Cwmbran, South Wales.
   In addition to the husband, of Shelton, survivors include Mrs. Mary Harvey, Shelton; three sisters, Mrs. Alice Farr, Mrs. Daisy Culley, and Mrs. Joan Pattiomore, all of South Wales; and a grandson.
   Services were under direction of Fissell-Brown Mortuary, Chehalis. (Lewis County Historical Museum)

   After the death of Ada, Lee married Gladys Marie Spears on December 26, 1967 in Lewis County, Washington. The couple divorced on October 19, 1970.  (Link to Marriage Record)  (Link to Divorce)

   NOTE: Gladys Spears had previously been married to James Lindsay Bowen, the parents of Geraldeane Bowen. Geraldeane married John Edward Mullins, who was the son of John Mullins and Hazel Burnice Scalf, who is Lee’s sister. Gladys was Lee’s nephew’s mother-in-law. There is no blood relation, but I imagine these sorts of connections make family reunions interesting. - Stephen Scalf

   Lee died July 18,1993 in Kelso, Cowlitz County, Washington and was buried in Rainey Valley Cemetery, Glenoma, Lewis County, Washington.

   Ole Oliver is buried at Rainey Valley Cemetery in Lewis County, Washington. He never married. Chronicles of the Scalf Family states that Ole Oliver never married.

   OBITUARY OF OLE SCALF - DATED 29 JANUARY 1983:

   RANDLE – A lifetime resident of Randle, Ole Scalf, 47, died Friday in a MOrton hospital. He was born June 1, 1916, in Randle.
   Survivors include nine sisters, Mrs. [Myrtle Marie] May Kirkpatrick, Elbe; Mrs Vada Loden, Mineral; Mrs. Sally Romenesko adn Mrs. Janice, both of Ashford; Mrs. Myrtle Neimi, Morton; Mrs. Alverta Lockyear, Pacific Beach, and Mrs. Hazel Mullins, Mrs. Eva Jean Mullins and Mrs. Opal Storme of Randle; five brothers, General Scalf, Port Townsend; George Scalf, Onalaska; Lee Scalf, California; Andrew Scalf, Shelton; and John Scalf, Jr., Randle.
   Graveside services will be Tuesday, 1 p.m., at the Rainey Valley cemetery, Glenoma. Services are under the directions of the Fissell Funeral home.  (Link to Obituary)

   Although his death certificate, his obituary, and his grave marker all list his birthdate as June 1, 1916, both the Lewis County, Washington birth record and his WWII Draft Registration list his birthdate as June 29, 1916. Since the latter would have been self-reported, we can assume this date to be more accurate.

   Opal<John Wesley<James Brittan<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

   Opal Virginia Scalf was born March 9, 1921 in Spannaway, Lewis County, Washington and died February 20, 1976 in Morton, Lewis County, Washington.Opal married 1) Monroe J. Tiller (b. 1916 - d. 1954) on May 14, 1938 in Pierce County, Washington. He was the son of Ivan K. and Alice Jackson Tiller.  (Link to Marriage - Tiller)

   They had one daughter, Sharon R. Tiller, born February 16, 1939 in Washington, died September 23, 2022 at Sharon Care Center, Centralia, Washington. Sharon married William Dean Billy Leydig (b. February 29, 1937 - d. February 6, 1999) on February 11, 1956 in Lewis County, Washington.  (Link to Marriage Certificate)
   
   Sharon and Billy had two sons:

   1. Bill Dean Leydig, Jr. - born March 1957. He married Tomi Jolene Benson (b. June 9, 1963 - died February 4, 2007 in Colorado) She was the daughter of Thomas and Katherine McGregor Benson. They had three children:
      1. Glen Edwin Leydig - b. July 1 1981 - d. December 1, 2005
      2. Dawn Leydig - married unknown Toy.
      3. Christine Leydig

      Obituary for Kenneth Alan Leydig - Ken passed away Aug. 11, 2007, at home, of a heart attack. He was born Feb. 18, 1966 in Seattle. Ken was loved by everyone. He had a great personality and he was a great jokester. Ken worked for Alaskan Copper and Boeing in Seattle. Ken is survived by his mother, at home; brother Bill; to nieces, Dawn and Christine; nephew Bill Claycamp and four-year-old Robert J., that he doted on, many aunts, uncles and cousins. Ken’s father, Bill Sr. and a nephew, Glen, prededed him in death. A family service is yet to be determined.

   We know Opal and Monroe divorced prior to 1945 because the Carson City, Nevada Marriage Index, 1855-1985 shows Monroe marrying Edith Bailey on July 6, 1945. Somewhat unusual at that time, their daughter, Sharon, remained in the home of her father in the 1950 Census.

   Opal married 2) Charles Alphonso Parnell, Jr. (b. 1914 - d. 1982) on August 18, 1946 in Lewis County, Washington.  (Link to Marriage - Parnell)

   Although no record of divorce is available at this time, we know by the time the 1950 Census was conducted, Opal was again living in the home of her parents, her marital status listed as divorced.

   Opal married 3) John C. Storme of Elbe, Pierce County, Washington in July 1951.  (Link to Marriage - Storme)

   NOTE: This was hard to find. Opal’s last name was Parnell in the 1950 Census. The marriage index for Opal’s 4^th marriage lists her last name as Storme. Her older brother, Oliver Ole’s obituary also lists her as Mrs. Opal Storme, residing in Randle as of his death in 1964. So we know her marriage to Storme took place some time between 1950 and 1964. I was eventually able to find the included newspaper clipping that provided the information.
   
   There is a John Cornelius Storme - most likely the same one - b. June 27, 1928 in Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington - d. March 23, 1999 in Salem, Marion County, Oregon. He was the son of Peter Bernard and Alice Isabella (Niquette) Storme. His WWII Draft Registration Card lists a mailing address of Elbe, Washington, matching his residence in the marriage license with Opal Scalf that appeared in the newspaper (above). John married Fay Elaine Webber on August 26, 1956 in Corvallis, Benton County, Oregon.

   Opal married 4) Cecil Carl Whiteside (b. 1904 - d 1975) on April 12, 1969.  (Link to Marriage - Whiteside)

   On Cecil’s death certificate, Opal is listed as his widow.  (Link to Death Certificate - Whiteside)

Loading her car with newfound treasures and spending time with children and grandchildren out saling were summertime traditions. Elaine would spend hours in Visiting Nurses, one of her most favorite places.

On May 20, 1955 she married Jack J. Mullins and they raised three children, Judi, Tom and Jack W.

She loved the outdoors, camping, fishing and sitting around the campfire. She was a certified garage sale queen and proud of it. She enjoyed going to church, taking walks, writing letters to loved ones and listening to the rain on the roof. She was an amazing homemaker, wife, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She was very passionate about helping people. She loved everyone and had an untiring ability to give to those in need. Wanting nothing in return.

      WILLIAM SCALF
      Son of
      Jeremiah Scalf & Sarah Brinstone
      William<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

      William Scalf was born April 3, 1849. He married Elizabeth Scott 1 April 1875 in Pike County, Kentucky. (Pike County Marriages)

      William died June 28, 1914 at Thomas, Pike County, Kentucky of Pulmonary Tuberculosis at the age of 65 years, 2 months and 25 days old. (DC #67198-KY Bureau of Vital Statistics)

      William’s death certificate states he was buried at Martin Scott’s on July 3, 1914. Henry Scalf states that William is buried at the Scott Cemetery at Gulnare, Kentucky. William was buried five days after his death. This indicates that some of his children may have been living in another area and the funeral was postponed to wait for their arrival. Ballard Scalf, son of William, was the informant for the death certificate.

      LINK TO DEATH CERTIFICATE

      William and Elizabeth were the parents of at least seven known children. The names below are listed as found on the census records; however, these names were difficult to determine and may be incorrect. The name Monna might have been something else as well as Maletha. Maletha appeared to be Mabetha on the census but due to the fact she was listed as Lethia in Chronicles of the Scalf family, it is assumed that her name was Maletha.

      In 1910, Samuel George Layne was living in the home of his grandparents, William and Elizabeth Scalf. He was the son of Nettie Scalf, daughter of William and Elizabeth. Nettie married Lindsey Lacey Layne. It appears that Nettie might have died in childbirth to Samuel, as she does not appear on the census records after 1900.

      Mona Nettie was born about 1877 and may have died after her marriage to Lindsey Layne. It is reported that this couple had a son, Samuel George Layne. Nettie was not found on a census record with her husband and son. Lindsey’s first wife was Alice Palmer according to Chronicles of the Scalf Family. They were found on the 1880 census of Pike County. A number of Layne families are living nearby and one of these families was probably the parents of Lindsey. An older Lindsey Layne was living next door and might have been Lindsey’s father.

      Samuel Layne was born July 19, 1907 and died July 24, 1930 from typhoid fever. Samuel was living with his grandparents in 1910 and his father in 1920. When the 1930 census was taken on April 22, 1930, Samuel was a boarder in the home of Albert and Victoria Maynard and is unmarried. However, he married Acie Ludy a short time later. This marriage was cut short by Samuel's untimely death on July 24, 1930. (Link to Samuel Layne's death certificate)

      MALETHA LETHIA SCALF
      Daughter of
      William Scalf and Elizabeth Scott
      Malethia<William<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

      Malethia (Lethia) Scalf was born May 19. 1877 in Pike County, Kentucky and died February 13, 1962 in Floyd County, Kentucky. Lethia married Andrew Jackson Francisco, the son of George Francisco and Frances Frankie McCoy. His name is listed in Chronicles of the Scalf Family as A .J. Cixco. Andrew and Lethia were married on September 13, 1894 in Pike County, KY and the family was found on the 1900 census. Jettie (Jetta) was in the home on this census. A nephew, Jenkins King, was also in the home. Jenkins King was the son of John Henry King and Mary E. Francisco. It is possible that Mary Francisco was an older sister of Andrew Jackson Francisco, which would make Jenkins King Andrew Francisco’s nephew. (Courtesy of Barbara Harvel)

      Chronicles of the Scalf Family states that Andrew died and Lethia remarried. According to his death certificate, Andrew J. Sesco was born May 11, 1868 in Pike County, Kentucky and died June 17, 1941 in Pike County, Kentucky (Link to death certificate).

      (Link to Letha Compton death certificate)

      Excerpt from Chronicles of the Scalf Family:

      Following the death of A.J. Cisco, Lethia remarried a Mr. Ronk. A third marriage was to John Compton. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

      There is confusing information concerning this family. Either there were two Jetta Francisco’s in Pike County or Jetta was listed twice on the 1900 census, once in the home of Andrew Francisco and once in the home of her grandparents Beverley Francisco and Louisa. The census was enumerated on June 14 at the home of Andrew Francisco and then on June 19^th at the home of Beverley Francisco. Within five days, Jetta is listed on two different censuses.

      Henry Scalf also states that Lethia had two daughters, Georgia and Jetta.

      In 1910, Jetta is living in the home of a Woods family. She is listed as a sister-in-law to William Woods. William Woods had married Armina Franscico 1900 - 1910. Armina was the daughter of Beverly Francisco and Louisa. The 1910 census listing of Jetta indicates that William’s wife Armina was a sister to Jetta. However, Jetta is only 11 years old and Armina was 29 years old.

      This was a second marriage for William Woods as he indicated on this census that this was his second marriage and he had been married for 8 years. Armina states this was her first marriage and that she had been married for 8 years. This is also confusing due to the fact they had both been married 8 years but William stated he had been married before.

      This census places the date of marriage for Armina at 1902. She states she has two children with 2 living on this census. However, there are three children in the home. Grove was born 1896 before the marriage of William and Armina and the census does not state what his relationship might have been to the family.

      We would like to thank Barbara Harvel for providing information on the Andrew and Letha Sesco family.

      In researching the Francisco family it was found that a number of folks in the same area were listed as Cisco and Cesco as well as Francisco. Some of these folks were part of the Francisco family and this is noted to help researchers of this line. It is difficult to sort out which ones were authentically Francisco. Information from descendants of this line might clear up the confusion.

      
      JETTA FRANSCISCO
      Daughter of
      Maletha Scalf and Andrew J. Francisco
      Jetta<Malethia<William<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

      According to Chronicles of the Scalf Family by Henry P. Scalf, Jetta was the daughter of Andrew J. Francisco and Maletha Letha Scalf. This may be correct; however, the census records are confusing concerning Jetta and are listed below. From the available records, we cannot confirm or deny that Jetta was the daughter of Andrew and Letha at this time.

      Jetta Francisco was born about 1899. She stated on the 1930 census that she married at the age of 18. This information suggests she married around 1912. Her first child, Gladys, was born 1919 and there might have been another child born before Gladys due to the time span between 1912 and 1919. Jetta may also have listed her age at her marriage incorrectly.

      In 1900 Jetta was listed with Andrew and Letha and then five days later is living in the home of her grandparents, Beverly Francisco and wife, Louisa.

      In 1910 Jetta is listed in the home of William Woods and his wife, Armina Franscico and listed as a sister-in-law of William Wood, which would suggest Jetta was his wife’s sister.

      In 1900 Beverley Francisco and his wife have nine children in the home. Armina was the oldest child. Jetta Francisco is listed as the granddaughter of Beverley on this census.

      On the 1900 census, Beverley and Louisa Francisco state they have 10 children with nine living. All nine are listed in the home. Therefore, Andrew Francisco (alleged father of Jetta Francisco) could not have been a son of Beverley and Louisa.

      We can rule out Andrew being the son of Beverley Francisco due to the ages of these two men. However, they may have been brothers. Andrew was born 1869 and Beverly was born 1857. There is twelve years difference in the ages of Beverley and Andrew.

      It certainly appears that Jetta was a relative of this family but was neither the sister-in-law of William Woods nor the sister of his wife, Armina.

      If Jetta’s parents were Andrew Franscico and Lethia Scalf, it is unknown why she was living with her relatives on these censuses or why she was listed as the granddaughter of Beverley Francisco. It is also unknown where Andrew and Lethia were in 1910 and 1920 as well as their daughter, Georgia.

      Note on the 1900 census in the home of her father that Armina Franscico states she has one child with one living. Armina was not married at this time. Jetta Francisco is then listed as a granddaughter to Armina’s father, Beverley.

      Also, on the 1900 census of Beverley Franscico Armina had a brother named Grove born 1885. On the 1910 census of Pike County, Armina has a son named Grove as well. He is 14 years old placing his birth date 1896.

      Armina states on the 1910 census that she has two children with two living but there are three children in the home; Grove, Jetta and Estell. Grove was born 1896 and Jetta 1899, both before the marriage of Armina to William Woods.

       The child Estell from the 1910 census was born 1904 after the marriage of William and Armina. Again, it is difficult from these census records to determine which children belonged to Armina.

      By 1920, Jetta Francisco is married to Clinton Taylor.

      Minnie Alice Scalf was born 1880 in Pike County, Kentucky. Alice married Sherman Nunnery. It is possible that Alice was married prior to this marriage but this has not been confirmed at this time. Alice and Sherman were found on the 1930 census.

      It appears that Alice and Sherman married late in life. Alice was 44 when she married Sherman and he was 50. They had been married six years, placing their marriage date at 1924. The census states that Sherman was employed at a retail store. No further information.

      Hester Scalf was born about 1880 in Pike County, Kentucky. Hester married William Hunter. William’s occupation was listed as a Barber. On the 1910 census of Pike County, Hester’s husband is listed as James Hunter. We cannot be certain at this time, but this appears to be the correct family. James Hunter is also listed as a Barber on this census. Hester’s husband’s name in 1920 is listed as James Hunter and in 1930 is listed as William B. Hunter.

      It is possible that the B might have actually been a J as they have a son named William J. who might have been named for his father. We believe this to be the same family and William B. was probably William James Hunter instead of William B. Hunter.

      Estimating from the census records, it appears that Hester married around 1905. No further information is known of this family.

      BALLARD SCALF - (Enumerator)
      Son of

      Ballard Scalf was born about 1888 in Kentucky and died 07-24-1965 (KY Death Certificates 036 17586). Ballard married Judy Roop. By estimation from the 1920 census, it appears that Judy was born around 1894. A Judy Scalf was found on the Social Security Death Indexes born 1 June 1893 and died 15 May 1972 at Betsy Layne (Floyd) County, Kentucky. This may or may not be Juda Roop Scalf. This name is also spelled Rupe on some records.

      We have no marriage record available for Ballard; however, Ballard is listed on the Floyd County, Kentucky marriage index with a marriage date of 1915.

      LINK TO MARRIAGE RECORD INDEX

      Dallas Scalf was born July 9, 1890 in Kentucky and died May 6, 1945 in Wise County, Virginia. Dallas married Florence Sesco. It was originally thought that her name was Florence Francisco; however, her obituary states SESCO.

      (Link to the death certificate of Dallas Scalf)

      Dallas Scalf was living in the home of his brother Trimble in 1920. Dallas married by 1930 and he and Florence were found on the 1930 census of Pike County, Kentucky. He was still living at Johns Creek (Pike County), Kentucky in 1930 but at some point, moved to Coeburn (Wise Co) Virginia where three of his children were married.

      Henry Scalf states that Dallas had a son named Carter who died as a young man and three other children.  Carter is listed on the 1930 census. On the Pike County, Kentucky death records the birth of a son named Dalace I. Scalf to Florence Sesco is listed. He was born August 22, 1928 and we believe this to be a son of Florence and Dallas Scalf. If this is correct, this son also died. Henry did not list names for the other three children but we believe the three children listed below are the children referred to

      The names of the three children not listed on the 1930 census of Pike County, Kentucky were taken from the marriages of Wise County, Virginia. They are listed here with their spouses as stated in the marriage records of Wise County. There might have been other children that we do not have names for. The children may not be listed in birth order. Ollie Evelyn from the 1930 census might be Evelyn listed below who married Lowell Adkins.

      Children of Dallas Scalf and Florence Francisco:

        1) James Carter Scalf - born June 3, 1923 and died August 13, 1946.  (Link to death certificate)
      
        2) Evelyn Scalf (birth date unknown) married Lowell Adkins January 28, 1948, Wise County, Virginia. He was the son of E. L. Adkins and Melissa James. He was born at Bondtown, Virginia and she was born in Kentucky. Both addresses at this time were Coeburn (Wise Co) Virginia.
      
        3) Alva Jean Scalf (birth date unknown) born at Pikeville, Kentucky daughter of Dallas Scalf and Florence Francisco. Married William Hall October 15, 1954 in Wise County, Virginia. He was born at Crane’s Nest, Virginia, the son of Emory Hall and Gertrude Sands.
      
        4) Christine Scalf (birth date unknown) born at Gulnare, Kentucky, the daughter of Dallas Scalf and Florence Francisco of Wise County, Virginia. Christine married Dalford Gouge December 16, 1954. He was the son of Lawrence G. Gouge and Ora Dotson of Crane’s Nest, Virginia.

      UPDATE TO CHAPTER JULY 7, 2009

      An obituary was found for Florence Sesco Scalf and states the following information.

      Michigan City, Indiana - Florence Scalf, 93, died Friday (Oct. 27, 1995) at Life Care Center of Michigan City. Born in Gulnare, Kentucky, she was a former resident of Coeburn, Virginia before moving to Michigan City a few years ago.

      She was preceded in death by her husband, Dallas Scalf; her parents, George and Elizabeth Sesco.

      Surviving are three daughters, Christine Gouge, Michigan City, Indiana, Betty Hall, Coeburn, Virginia, Ollie Adkins, Gallen, Michigan. One son, Robert Scalf, Three Oaks, Michigan; 21 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; one brother, Merlin Sesco, Meta, Kentucky, and several nieces and nephews.

      Calling hours are from 9 to 11 a.m. Tuesday at Estes Funeral Home, Coeburn, Virginia. Services will be conducted Tuesday at the funeral home chapel with the Rev. Mike Hunsaker officiating.

      Burial will follow in the Kiser Cemetery in Pine Camp section of Coeburn, Virginia. (Courtesy of Virgil Scalf)

      (Link to Florence Scalf death certificate)

      (Link to obituary of Florence Sesco Scalf)

      From the obituary above, we assume that Frances’ maiden name was Sesco and not Francisco. We also note that Evelyn from the marriage records and census records was in fact, Ollie Evelyn Scalf. We also note that there was one more child born to Dallas and Florence. This was Robert Scalf listed in the obituary of Florence.

       

      NANCY J. SCALF
      Daughter of

      Nancy<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

      Nancy J. Scalf daughter of Jeremiah Scalf and Sarah Brinstone was born about 1852 in Kentucky. Nancy is reported to have married Wesley Stratton, son of Tandy Richard Stratton and Mahala Lewis Stratton of Floyd County, Kentucky. Wesley and Nancy moved to Arkansas after the Civil War and lived near Little Rock. No further information is known of this family. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

      
      TALITHA A. SCALF
      Daughter of
      Jeremiah Scalf & Sarah Brinstone
      Talitha<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      Talitha A. Scalf daughter of Jeremiah and Sarah Brinstone Scalf was born 1854 - 1856 according to census records. Virgil Scalf found a birth record for Talitha stating her birth date as March 13, 1854, Pike County, Kentucky. (Link to birth record)

      Talitha was not in the home of her parents, Jeremiah and Sarah Brinstone Scalf in 1850 or1860 but was living in the home of her mother Sarah Brinstone Scalf Vaughn and stepfather Leroy Vaughn in 1870 and listed as 16 years old.

      In the home of her father Jeremiah Scalf in 1860, there is a Mary listed who would have been the same age as Talitha A. There is no Mary listed on the census of 1870. Whether Mary and Talitha A. were the same person or not is unknown.

      It is possible that the ages of the two girls were listed wrong on one or the other census records and Mary could have been the child that died mentioned by Henry Scalf as Tabitha; however, it is the opinion of the author that the spelling of Talitha might have appeared to be Tabitha, which caused Henry to believe there was a child named Tabitha.

      Talitha Scalf married Allen Blackburn, son of Elizabeth Scalf Blackburn. Elizabeth was the daughter of Brittan and Talitha Couch Scalf. Allen Blackburn and Talitha A. Scalf were first cousins.

      Three children were listed on the 1880 census for Allen and Talitha but there were probably more. Allen and Talitha were not found after 1880.

      See Chronicles of the Scalf family, Chapter VIII for more information concerning Mary and Talitha.

      Sarah Melissa (Lissy) Scalf was born about 1856 in Pike County, Kentucky. (1860 Pike County Census).

      Excerpt from Chronicles of the Scalf Family:

      Melissa Scalf. Married John Adams, brother to Rev. Robert Adams and Samuel Adams, but father's name unavailable. They were parents of three children, a son, Floyd Adams, and two daughters, Lou and Virgie Adams. Lou died unmarried. No other information on this family, John Adams and Melissa Scalf Adams probably lived in Pike County, Kentucky. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

      No further information on this family.

       

      HENRY AMOS (WITCH) SCALF
      Son of
      Jeremiah Scalf & Sarah Brinstone
      Henry A<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

      Information concerning the Amos Scalf family has been compiled from the various records available. Information for this family was also provided by Martin Willard. Martin is the g-g-grandson of Amos Scalf and Sarah Jane Music Scalf Keesee and the great-grandson of James Andrew Scalf, son of Amos and Sarah. Reference has also been made to Chronicles of the Scalf Family by Henry P. Scalf.

      Amos Scalf (aka Witch) was born June 22, 1862 in Pike or Floyd County, Kentucky and died 1911 in Lewis County, Washington. The 1880 census of Floyd County, Kentucky states he was 20 years old in 1880 and would have been born about 1860 according to the census. The 1900 census is also consistent with the 1880 census; however, Henry P. Scalf states a full birth date of June 22, 1862 in Chronicles of the Scalf Family. We do not know who submitted the birth date to Henry nor do we know which date is correct. Census records also reveal that Amos’ first or middle name was Henry.

      It appears that Henry P. Scalf did not realize that Amos Scalf and Henry Scalf were the same person for he believed that the child of Jeremiah and Sarah Brinstone Scalf named Henry had died.

      Henry Amos Scalf married Sarah Jane Music daughter of Rev. Andrew Music and Emily Bowen Music. Sarah was born April 6, 1858 in Kentucky and died 1946 in Napavine (Lewis County) Washington. Amos and Sarah married around 1879 or 1880 in Floyd County, Kentucky. We believe that they were married in 1879 and that the Amos Scalf listed on the marriage index of Floyd County, Kentucky was Amos Henry or Henry Amos Scalf. (Marriage record index courtesy of Virgil Scalf)

      LINK TO MARRIAGE RECORD INDEX

      Amos and Sarah were recently married by the enumeration of the 1880 census and were found living in Floyd County, Kentucky. There were no children listed at this time.

      There were children of Amos and Sarah that married or died between 1880 and 1900 that would not have been listed on the 1900 census. Due to the missing censuses of 1890, it is difficult to follow some of the family members. One daughter, Mary, was born 1880 after the enumeration of the census and therefore was old enough by 1900 to marry, which she did. Mary was not found on the census records due to the missing 1890 censuses. Chronicles of the Scalf Family has been relied on for names of the older children of Amos and Sarah.

      A record of Amos’ birth and death can be found in the cemetery listings of Rainey Valley Cemetery at the second URL address for the South Section listed at the beginning of this chapter.

      It was probably the logging or the mining business that drew the Kentucky families to Washington and no doubt, the Amos Scalf family among others was engaged in one or both of these businesses. Amos may have died from an illness or he may have died from an injury. We do not have a death certificate for Amos at this time to help determine what his cause of death might have been. However, Amos died not very long after arriving in Washington State.

      Amos is buried near the parents of Sarah Jane Music Scalf Keesee. Several other family members are buried in this section of the cemetery.

      The first three children of Amos and Sarah were not found listed with the family on the census records.

       

      MARY SCALF
      Daughter of
      Henry Amos Scalf & Sarah Jane Music
      Mary<Henry A<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

      Mary Scalf, oldest child of Amos and Sarah was born June 12, 1880 in Kentucky. (Family records of Martin Willard) Mary is not listed on a census record with her parents. There are no census records for 1890 and Mary was married before the enumeration of the 1900 census.

      Mary married Albert Hayes Goble around 1897 by estimation. He was born September 13, 1876 in Inez, Kentucky. Albert died May 23,1966 at Morton Hospital in Morton, Washington. He is buried at Morton Cemetery.

      Albert was the brother of Martha Goble Scalf who married Andrew Scalf, son of Amos Scalf and Sarah Jane Music Scalf. (See obituary for Albert in Chapter VIII of Chronicles of the Scalf Family) The obituary for Albert Hayes Goble states that he had been a resident of Morton since 1902. We find that his first three children with Mary were born in Kentucky with the last one being born 1906. Martin Willard has a date of July 30, 1905. Albert and Mary were found on the 1900 census of Pike County, Kentucky.

      Records suggest that some of the families moved to Lewis County around 1906 while others appear to have moved there around 1909. Chronicles of the Scalf Family lists that Mary died February 6, 1907 and the records of Martin Willard are in agreement

      with this date.

      Mary may have been one of the folks who contracted measles on the train and died on the way to Chehalis. Mrs. May Kirkpatrick, daughter of John Wesley Scalf was a daughter of John Cooge Scalf and stated some family members died from measles on this

      trip. We have no information to confirm that the Albert Hayes Goble family was on the train with John Wesley Scalf but it seems logical this might have been what happened.

      However, Chronicles of the Scalf Family lists that Mary died February 6, 1907. Mary might have died before Albert left Kentucky or she may have died after the family arrived in Lewis County.

      Albert Hayes Goble had remarried by 1910 and was found on the 1910 census of Lewis County, Washington. His wife’s name was Selenta if the spelling on the census was correct. Her maiden name is unknown.
      
      Albert and his second wife, Selenta were the parents of ten children according to the obituary of Albert Hayes Goble. Three of the children listed below were children of Albert and Mary Scalf Goble. The first two children belonged to Albert and Mary; however, we are not certain which one was Bertha as she was listed only as Bertha on the census records. We assume either Mrs. Constance Nostrant or Mrs. Goldie Danhouser was Bertha. The other children appear to be the children of Albert and his second wife.

      The following children survived him:

      Mrs. Edna Bright.
      Mrs. Anna Fields
      Mrs. Olive Geidel
      Mrs. Bess Greiter
      Mrs. Beryl Davis
      Mrs. Virginia McMillion
      Mrs. Constance Nostrant
      Mrs. Goldie Danhouser
      Emery Goble
      Claude Goble
      Albert Goble
      Lester Goble
      Donald Goble
      
      The obituary for Albert Hayes Goble can be found in Chapter VIII of Chronicles of the Scalf Family.

      Bertha Goble was born November 15, 1900. (Martin Willard). Census records list her birth by estimation as 1902; however, census records were often incorrect on ages. Martin also has that Anna was born July 30, 1905.

      If Annabelle listed in the home of Gregory Grieter was a sister to Bertha, she is probably the Anna M. listed on the 1910 Lewis County, Washington census. We cannot confirm which name is correct.

      Bertha and Anna were children of Mary Scalf and Albert Hayes Goble. Bertha married Gregory Grieter and their family was found on the 1930 census living at Centralia in Lewis County, Washington.

      Bertha appears to be Mrs. Bess Grieter listed in the obituary of Albert Hayes Goble but she was listed as Bertha on the census records. For further information see Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII and the obituary for Hayes Goble.

      JAMES ANDREW SCALF

      Son of

      Henry Amos Witch Scalf & Sarah Jane Music

      Andrew<Henry A<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

       James Andrew Scalf was born June 6, 1882 in Pike County, Kentucky. Andrew died November 1, 1936 in Salem, Oregon. (Obituary - Courtesy of Lewis County Historical Museum)

      Andrew married Martha Jane Goble May 10, 1900 in Marion County, Kentucky and moved from Kentucky to Eastern Washington. Andrew is buried at Glenoma (Lewis County) Washington at Rainey Valley Cemetery. (Norman Willard, Jr. and son Martin Willard)

      Martha Goble Scalf was born November 26, 1882 in Martin County, Kentucky. Martha Goble Scalf died in Seattle, Washington May 15, 1974 and is buried at Sunset Mausoleum in Chehalis, Washington. (Norman Willard, Jr. and Martin Willard)

      Andrew and Martha were the parents of four children.

      Excerpt from Chronicles of the Scalf Family:

      In the first decade of the present century there was much talk of the State of Washington in Southern West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky and Andrew Scalf, son of Amos Scalf, visited the state and sent back glowing reports of the opportunity offered on the west coast. 

      Some of the Goble family also made the trip to Lewis County, Washington along with other family members. Andrew and Martha Goble Scalf were in the home of Andrew’s parents in 1900 in Kentucky but appear on the 1910 Lewis County, Washington census

      as head of house.

      Andrew and Martha had three children at the enumeration of the 1910 census of Lewis County, Washington.
       

      A land patent in Vancouver, Washington 1916 for twenty-three and seventy-hundredths of an acre was found and this appears to have been this same Andrew Scalf.

       

      LINK TO LAND PATENT

      Andrew was not found in 1920 but his wife Martha Goble Scalf was found as head of house in 1930. She was listed as a widow on this census but this was apparently a mistake by the enumerator for Andrew was still living in 1930.

      The obituary of James Andrew Scalf states he died in 1936 and his grandson Norman Willard, Jr. confirmed this. Norman states that Andrew came through Chehalis in 1930 and brought him a wagon. The death date on Andrew’s headstone also states he died 1936.

      Henry P. Scalf states that Andrew went to Alaska to prospect for gold at some point but does not mention exactly when Andrew went to Alaska. Andrew was living in Salem, Oregon at the time of his death according to the obituary and the Social Security Indexes. It appears that Andrew was out of the state of Washington during the years 1920 - 1936.

      The 1910 census records list the children of Andrew as being born in Kentucky. Wallace was the last child born in Kentucky before the move to Washington. However, the 1920 census of Lewis County, Washington lists Wallace as being born in Washington and another daughter born after him was also listed as being born in Washington. We believe this to have been a mistake on the census and Wallace was actually born in Kentucky. Mary A. was born in Washington.

      The following census records show the family of James Andrew Scalf and Martha Goble Scalf in 1910. However, Andrew was not found on the 1920 or the 1930 census. An obituary for James Andrew Scalf confirms that he was living in Oregon 1920 - 1936.

      Andrew and Martha were living in Lewis County, Washington by 1902 where their first child Ella May Scalf was born June 16, 1902. Norman Willard, Jr., son of Norman Sr. and Ella May Scalf Willard confirms that Ella only had three siblings, Elmer, Wallace and Mary.

      Martin Willard provided the following information on the family of James Andrew and Martha Goble Scalf:

        1) Ella May Scalf, b. June 16, 1902, Martin County, KY, d. December 16, 1965, Chehalis, WA.
        2) Elmer J. Scalf, b. January 8, 1905, Kentucky, d. October 2, 1950, Waldport, OR.
        3) Wallace Richard Scalf, b. August 21, 1907, Lewis County, WA, d. March 28, 1970, Pasco, WA.
        4) Mary Alverna Scalf, b. October 10, 1910, Lewis County, WA, d. aft. 1986, Seattle, WA.

      Ella May Scalf, daughter of Andrew and Martha Goble Scalf married Norman Willard, Sr. This couple were the parents of Norman Willard, Jr. father of Martin Willard who provided information on this family. Norman Willard Jr. is still living at the writing of this chapter. (2005)

      As can be seen below, the census records conflict with the above birth dates of these children with the exception of Elmer. This is often found on the census records, however.

      Lee Scalf, son of Amos and Sarah Jane Music Scalf was born October 5, 1889 in Pike County, Kentucky and died 5 October1967 at Morton, Washington. (Obituary, Lewis County Historical Museum - Headstone at Rainey Valley Cemetery - Social Security

      Death Index and Martin Willard)

      Martin Willard informs us that the Rainey Valley Cemetery is located at Glenoma (Lewis County) Washington.

      On the 1930 census Lee’s wife is listed as what appears to be Vina.  Martin Willard states that Lee Scalf married Vina Pack Hatfield March 2, 1926. Vina was born April 4, 1882. Vina is also buried at Rainey Valley Cemetery. (Martin Willard)

      From the transcribed listings of Rainey Valley Cemetery, a Dinna Scalf is listed. We cannot be certain at this time that Dinna and Vina were the same person or that this is the wife of Lee Scalf. However, Dinna Scalf was born 1888 and died 1962.
      
      Considering the information listed in the obituary of Vivian (Vinna) Scalf, it appears that the headstone was transcribed incorrectly. The birth and death dates for Dinna Scalf match the birth and death dates for Vivian (Vinna) Scalf.

      Lee was living in the home of Henry Hisker in 1910 as a boarder and was one of 13 workers in a sawmill. He was not found in 1920 but in 1930, he is listed with his wife and a niece, Verna Bernice Scalf.

      OBITUARY OF LEE SCALF DATED 6 OCTOBER 1967:

      MORTON - Lee Scalf, 78, a resident of Sumner for the past 3 years and formerly of Glenoma since 1907, died Thursday in a Morton hospital.

      Funeral services are Saturday, 1 p.m., at the Fissell-Brown Mortuary chapel, Morton, with the Rev. Samuel A. Carlson officiating. Interment follows at the Rainey Valley Cemetery, Glenoma. (Courtesy of Lewis County Historical Museum)

      The obituary of Lee Scalf does not list a wife or any children; however, the obituary of Mrs. Lee (Vivian) (aka Vinna) Scalf was listed at the Lewis County Historical Museum.

      OBITUARY OF MRS. LEE (VIVIAN) SCALF dated March 13, 1962:

      SCALF - Mrs. Lee (Vivian) 73, Glenoma passed away March 13^th in a Morton nursing home. She was born April 4, 1888 in Martin County, Kentucky and had been a resident of Glenoma for 37 years.

      THERESA ANN (ANNA) SCALF
      Daughter of
      Henry Amos Witch Scalf and Sarah Jane Music
      Theresa A<Henry A<Jeremiah<Brittan<John Scalf, Sr<Lewis Scalf

      Theresa Ann Scalf, (aka as Anna) was the third daughter born to Henry Amos Witch Scalf and Sarah Jane Music Scalf. Anna was born about 1894 according to the writings of Henry Scalf and her headstone at Rainey Valley Cemetery. She died 1918 according to the cemetery records of Lewis County, Washington.

      Martin Willard has a birth date of 1895 and a death date of 1918. An article listed on the Lewis County, website also lists a death date of 1918 but no birth date.

      Henry P. Scalf corresponded with several family members in Lewis County, Washington at the writing of Chronicles of the Scalf Family. An excerpt from the writings of Henry concerning Ann Scalf Morris is listed here:

      Anna Scalf, born October 12, 1894, married Wallace Morris

      In the home of her parents (Amos and Sarah) in 1900 Pike County, Kentucky, her birth estimates around 1895 and the same again in 1910 in Lewis County, Washington. However, her headstone at Rainey Valley Cemetery lists the following:

      Morris, Anna   1894 - 1918 Mother & Infant

      Considering the above information, it appears that Theresa Ann (Anna Scalf) Morris died in childbirth in 1918. Her infant child was buried with her if the headstone was transcribed correctly. Anna would have been 23 or 24 years old when she died.

      Anna married George Wallace Morris, Sr. and had three living children before she died according to the 1920 census of Lewis County, Washington. The census records list Anna’s husband’s name as Wallace. The cemetery records list his name as Geo. Wallace Morris, Sr.

       Also see Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII, by Henry P. Scalf.

      Anna (Theresa) Scalf Morris is buried at Rainey Valley Cemetery in Lewis County, Washington. Her father and her mother’s parents (Rev. Andy Music and Emily Bowen Music) are buried there as well.

      Anna’s husband, George Wallace Morris, Sr. and his second wife, Cynthia Elizabeth Scruggs are also buried at Rainey Valley

      The second wife of Wallace Morris, Cynthia Elizabeth Scruggs was the daughter of Andy and Vashtie Music Scruggs. A relationship between Sarah Jane Music and Vashtie is unknown at this time but we feel they were most likely related. Vashtie is also buried in the same cemetery.

      From a study of the census records, it appears that Wallace Morris married Anna Scalf around 1913 according to the birth of their first child Lee but may have married a year or so earlier allowing for the ages listed on the census records. If 1913 is correct, Anna would have been 19 years old when they married.

      Anna may have died at the birth of their last child, listed as infant on her headstone. The last living child was Willard born 1917.

      Wallace then remarried to Cynthia Elizabeth Scruggs and was found with his second wife on the 1920 Lewis County census.

      BOOKER T. KEESEE

      And

      Sarah Jane (Music) Scalf

      After the death of Amos Scalf, Sarah Jane Music Scalf married Booker T. Keesee about 1917 in Chehalis, Washington. Booker was widowed as well and had several children. Booker had also moved from Kentucky to Washington. The following information was obtained from a History Of Lewis County, page 209 written by Ethel Rutherford. (Courtesy of the Lewis County Historical Museum)

      Booker T. Keesee was born August 9, 1864 in Right Fork, Pond Creek, Kentucky and died December 13, 1939.

      He came to Washington State from Pike County, Kentucky around 1907-1908. He was married previously to Caroline Evie (Maynard) Keesee May 1905. Caroline was born October 19, 1865 and died May 1905 shortly before Booker moved to Washington State. They were married June 19, 1884 in Pike County, Kentucky.

      Children of Booker T. Keesee and Caroline Evie Maynard:

        1) Ida Keesee - born April 30, 1885 Pike County, Kentucky. Married Dallas T. Bogar April 28, 1910 in Chehalis, Washington. Ida died April 11, 1974 and is buried at Claquato Cemetery in Chehalis.
        2) George Wilby Keesee - born June 9, 1887 in Piso, Kentucky. Married 1) Rosa Zettie Bevins June 15, 1907 in Meta, Kentucky. 2) Lucy Randle. George died October 27, 1964 and is buried at Rainey Valley Cemetery in Glenoma, Washington.
        3) Margaret Maggie Keesee - born March 21, 1894 in Piso, Kentucky. Married Lawrence B. Tully April 23, 1920. She died 1970 and is buried at Sumner, Washington.
        4) Everett Keesee - born January 27, 1897 in Kentucky. Married Sarah Jane Music June 1921. He died March 20,1983 and is buried at Rainey Valley Cemetery in Glenoma, Washington.
        5) Rebecca Elizabeth Lizzy Keesee - born June 9, 1899 in Kentucky. Married David F. Curry December 24, 1917 and died February 28, 1920.
        6) John Birdie Keesee - born March 30, 1902 in Kentucky. Married Claire Morris in 1923. John died December 13, 1939 and is buried at Rainey Valley Cemetery.

      We know of no children born to Booker and Sarah Jane Music Scalf Keesee. Sarah Jane Music Scalf Keesee and her second husband, Booker T. Keesee lived near Morton, Washington.

      This family was found on the 1920 and 1930 census of Lewis County, Washington. Dora Marie listed on the 1930 census in the home of Booker and Sarah and listed as Booker’s step-granddaughter appears to have been the daughter of Jerry, son of Amos and Sarah.

      Both Booker and Sarah Jane Music Scalf Keesee are buried at the Rainey Valley Cemetery in Chehalis (Lewis County) Washington along with other family members.

      The fact that Booker was also living in Kentucky and moved to Chehalis during the same time these families moved, suggests there might have been some type of relationship between the families of either Booker or his deceased wife, Caroline Maynard Keesee and the Scalf family or some of the other families that traveled to Washington State with them.

      A photograph of Booker T. Keesee and Sarah Jane Music Scalf Keesee will be posted at a later date.

      Listed below is an excerpt from an email received from Martin Willard, son of Norman Willard Jr. and g-grandson of Henry Amos Scalf and Sarah Jane Music Scalf Keesee.

      I talked to my father again about the pictures. He does not believe that the woman on the porch in Chehalis was Gramma Kessee because Gramma Kessee was such a small woman, he says. But he thinks the one with him in uniform may well be Gramma Kessee. My father tells a nice story about Grandma Keesee. He said that when he was visiting her once in Morton, WA, he had flown to WA from San Francisco. When he told her about flying in from SF, she said, It's the only way to travel.  He also said that she had a salve she would make, using various plants, for treating burns. Unfortunately, no one else could make it because she kept the recipe a secret. (Martin Willard).

      JOHN HENRY SCALF
      Son of
      Brittan Scalf & Talitha Couch
      John Henry<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      John Henry Scalf was born about 1825 - 1827 in Russell County, Va. John died at Buffalo Creek (Endicott) Floyd County, Kentucky in May of 1864. John Henry married Clarinda Sellards March 25, 1856. Clarinda was born Feb. 10, 1840 and died Jan. 1914 at Dassell, (Meeker County) Minnesota. She was the daughter of Thomas Sellards and Mary Clark.

      Very little can be added to the life of John Henry Scalf. Henry P. Scalf wrote the story of this family in his book Chronicles of the Scalf Family and here we excerpt a section of his writings concerning the John Henry Scalf family. Typing errors were corrected and placed in parentheses.

      John Scalf, although of Confederate sympathy, determined to stay out of the struggle if he could. To all overtures that he join with his brothers, he turned a deaf ear. He had his family to guard and feed. Assiduously applying himself to his farm he began to accumulate livestock and feed. But for the war he could look around his acres with a measure of satisfaction.

      The internecine struggle waxed fierce in the valley. Jackson's Confederates stalked Blackburn's Unionists. Dow Elkins, searching the countryside for Blackburn, was killed by the accidental discharge of his rifle as he talked with his fianc-e at her door step. Finally Jackson and Blackburn met in battle and John P. McGuire was killed. Seeking revenge, Jackson and his adherents, ambushed Blackburn and shot his brains out.

      The roar of the partisan guns, a few miles from the John Scalf home, had scarcely died when his fourth child, a daughter, Mary Elizabeth, was born June 14, 1863. While the babe lay in its cradle the partisans of the South roamed the valley but they inflicted no harm on the John Scalf family for they knew for all his facade of neutrality his sympathies were with the Confederacy. Someday, he feared, the Union guerrillas would come.

      A few months after the birth of his daughter the dreaded event occurred. Men swarmed over his farm and at the point of guns robbed his pantry and smokehouse of all the food on the place. With their bayonets they ripped the featherbeds apart. Much of the furniture was burned in the yard while John stood helpless and his wife and children cried.

      The bogs (hogs) and cattle were butchered on the farm and the meat packed on their horses. A team of horses with which John did his farm work were taken from the barn and driven away. When they left the Scalf farm that bitter winter day the family was destitute. Their neighbors, stricken as they, were impoverished, too, particularly the family of James W. Sellards, brother of Clarinda Scalf. The guerrillas left only the roofs over their heads and the clothes they wore. A hundred years later the dastardly deed was still green in the traditions of the Scalf and Sellards descendants.

      John Scalf and his wife's kinsmen of the Sellards Settlement, faced the spectre of starvation and want, comforted each other by a division of food that escaped the clutching bands of the jackals. The weeks wore away and spring came. John, without a team with which to plow, fell fiercely upon his soil with band tools. He dug and planted. Weak from lack of food and hard work he took pneumonia and died in May 1964 (1864). (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

      John Henry was found only on the 1860 Pike County, Kentucky census with his wife, Clarinda, and sons, Solomon and John C. B. After the death of John Henry, Clarinda remarried to Jefferson Shortridge October 1869. This couple, along with her parents and several other family members moved to Dassel (Meeker Co) Minnesota.

      Solomon	3	1857	KY
      John C.B.	1	1859	KY

      Clarinda then married Jefferson Shortridge by the enumeration of the 1870 census of Meeker County, Minnesota. Henry P. Scalf states the marriage took place October 1869. Clarinda, her parents, some siblings and her children had made the trip to Minnesota sometime between 1866 and 1869.

      The 1870 census of Meeker County, Minnesota lists Clarinda and Jefferson Shortridge with the children of Clarinda and John Henry Scalf in the home.

      On the 1880 census of Meeker County Jefferson and Clarinda and Jefferson now have five children, the oldest being born about 1871. James and Mary Scalf, children of John Henry Scalf were also in the home, the others probably were married at this time.

      Clarinda is not listed below her husband on this census. It is possible this was due to the fact the enumerator might have felt she should be listed above her children from her first marriage; however, this is only speculation and it is unknown why she was listed this way.

      A correction to the writings of Henry P. Scalf is noted here. Henry believed that Clarinda had died and her husband remarried. A paragraph from his writings is listed here:

      Clarinda Sellards Scalf, born Feb. 10, 1840, died January, 1914 and her second husband, Jefferson Shortridge, survived until April, 1933. She buried in Dassel Cemetery, and Jefferson, who remarried, is buried at Minneapolis. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

      By 1900 the census records show that Jefferson Shortridge had died and Clarinda Sellards Scalf Shortridge was living in the home of her son John Breckenridge Scalf. She was listed as a widow on this census. Clarinda was not found after the 1900 census and it is assumed she did die on the date stated above but her husband, Jefferson Shortridge surely died before 1900 since she was listed as a widow here.

      SOLOMON SCALF
      Son of
      John Henry Scalf & Clarinda Sellards
      Solomon<John Henry<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      Solomon Scalf was born March 27, 1857. He was the oldest child of John Henry Scalf and Clarinda Sellards. Solomon and his brother John Breckenridge were living in the home of Joel Smith in 1880 Meeker County, Minnesota as boarders. By 1900 Solomon had married and was living in Ward County, North Dakota.

      Henry Scalf states the following concerning Solomon and his wife:

      Solomon Scalf was the first to leave the parental home. He married Mary Frances Fuller, Jan. 28, 1883. They were the parents of six children, all born at Dassel. Solomon is best described by a nephew who knew him intimately, and said: Solomon was a patient and enduring man, never unkind and always considerate of others.

      Solomon homesteaded at Norma, North Dakota, in 1900 and at one-time, he and his half-brother, William Shortridge, conducted the Lewis Store, an establishment widely patronized. In 1908 he moved to near Coronach, Sasketchewan, Canada, a small hamlet north of the Montana border. It was 25 miles to Scobey, Montana, the grain center of the region and Solomon freighted his wheat there. In 1925 he moved to Coronach where he died, June 3, 1932. His widow survived until February 1937, and died at Centralia, Washington. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

      The census records of 1900 Ward County, North Dakota lists Solomon and his family. However, his wife’s name is not Mary or Frances. His wife’s name is Vera or Vina F. Scalf on this census. The first child, John H. was born about 1885 according to the census and would coincide with the marriage date of 1883 as stated by Henry P. Scalf. Vera is listed as 34 years old on this census with an estimated birth date of 1866.

      By 1910, Solomon’s wife is listed as Mary F. and her age is 43 with an estimated birth date of 1867, which is very close to the age of Vera from the 1900 census. We cannot determine if Vera/Vina and Mary Frances were the same person but it does appear that the enumerator either made a mistake or Mary Frances had three names.

      The death of Mary Frances Fuller is confirmed at the link listed below. She was born 1865 and died 1937 in Centralia (Lewis County) Washington. She is buried at Salkum (Mt. Hope) Cemetery in Lewis County, Washington.

      Several of the Fuller family members are buried here.

       

      OBIT OF MARY FRANCES FULLER SCALF DATED 12 FEB, 1937:

      Mary Frances Scalf, 71, died Saturday morning in a local hospital. She was born September 26, 1866, in Virginia. She is survived by four sons, John of Cottage Grove, Ore.; James and William of Harmony where the deceased made her home, and George of Yorktown, Canada; a brother, James A. Fuller of Salkum; two sisters, Mrs. Roxie DeLong of Centralia and Mrs. Henry Hammill of Stanfield, Ore., and 19 grandchildren. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Salkum church, and interment was in the Salkum cemetery under the direction of the Fissell Funeral Home.

      WILLIAM LESLIE SCALF

      William<Solomon<John Henry<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      William Leslie Scalf was born February 7, 1892 in Dassell, Meeker County, Minnesota and died on September 12, 1970 in Seattle, King County, Washington. William married Fern Randall on March 26, 1918. Fern was the sister of Mildred Agnes Randall, who married William Leslie Scalf's brother, George Edward Scalf. Fern was born June 13, 1900 in Fremont, Nebraska and died October 23, 1930 in Coronach, Saskatchewan, Canada. William Scalf was in the farm implement business and was mayor of a town in Canada. When the depression hit he lost everything including his wife. He gave up all of the kids and left to find work in the states. 

      After Fern (Bill's wife) died in 1930, the children were sent to live with many people. Bill could not afford to raise seven children on his own. Four of the children are still living but three are deceased. I believe all of them eventually moved to the US. (Courtesy Denise Williamson)

      OBITUARY

       

      Vira Jeannie Scalf died Aug. 20, 2007, after a long illness. Jeannie was born Sept. 21, 1934, in Bad Axe, Mich., to Jerry and Irma Hynek. She attended school in Bad Axe and after graduation was baptized as one of the Jehovahs Witnesses and began serving as a full-time minister.
      
      On April 16, 1956, Jeannie married Lowell Scalf and for over 51 years they worked side by side and served their God Jehovah together. She loved to tell others of Jehovah’s promise to make the earth a paradise again. This made her life both rich and rewarding. This was Jeannie and Lowell’s first love and as a theocratic team they really found the greatest love of all helping others on their way to the real life as living witnesses praising Jehovah.
      
      Jeannie and Lowell attended the Coupeville congregation where she had many friends who loved her dearly. She was known for her wonderful sense of humor and large laugh. There will be a memorial service on Saturday, Sept. 8, at 2 p.m. at the Kingdom Hall, 331 Morris Road, Coupeville.

      JOHN BRECKENRIDGE SCALF
      Son of
      John Henry Scalf & Clarinda Sellards
      John B<John Henry<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      John B. Scalf, son of John Henry Scalf and Clarinda Sellards is listed as John C. B. Scalf on the 1870 Meeker County, Minnesota census and listed as Breckenridge on the 1880 Meeker County census. He is then listed as John B. C. Scalf on another census indicating that C.B. was an abbreviation for Breckenridge. This type of abbreviation was often used for middle names at this time.

      John was born about 1860 in Pike County, Kentucky. He married Emma Hanson, October 1908. Henry Scalf states that John Breckenridge died December 15, 1952 at Culver City, California. His wife, Emma Hanson Scalf was born July 17, 1886 and died April 1923. They are both buried in the Dassel cemetery at Dassel, Minnesota.

      The 1920 and 1930 census reveals that John Breckenridge Scalf moved to North Dakota along with his brother, Solomon. Henry P. Scalf states that John Breckenridge did move to North Dakota but Breckenridge returned to Minnesota after a year. Emma Hanson Scalf had died by the enumeration of the 1930 census.

      1910 - John Breckenridge was not found in this year. This might be the year that John Breckenridge returned to Kentucky to visit as stated by Henry P. Scalf.

      Henry states that John Breckenridge went to North Dakota in 1902 but returned the following year. This may be correct, but if so, John Breckenridge moved back to North Dakota by 1920 where he was found on the census of that year.

      John Breckenridge Scalf and his family remained in North Dakota where they were again found in 1930.

      James Wise Scalf was born Sept. 18, 1861 and died Sept. 18, 1893. James married Lucinda Dancoke, April 25, 1888. James and Lucinda only had one daughter before his death. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family)

      This daughter was Myrtle Scalf born 1888 and died 1913 according to Chronicles of the Scalf Family. She married Oscar Broberg. The 1900 Meeker County census reveals that Myrtle was the granddaughter of Thomas Hardy. This suggests that her mother’s surname was Hardy. Help from descendants of this line is needed to determine if the marriage to Lucinda Dancoke is correct.

      NOTE: Since the posting of this chapter, information on the wife of James Wise Scalf has been submitted by Steve Scalf, a descendent of Robert Scalf and Patsy Jackson Scalf. .

      It appears that Lucinda Dancoke should be Lucinda Pankake.

      The Collinwood Township, Meeker County, Minnesota Census of 1895 shows Lucinda Scalf (age 33, b. Ohio) and daughter Myrtle (age 6, b. Minn) living in the home of Linzey Pankake.

      The last name spelling in the family often lists as Pancake as well. [by the way, listing is p. 76, Family 229]. Incidentally, census lists Linzey as age 30, three years younger than Lucinda, also born in Ohio, and a resident of Minnesota for 28 years, meaning they moved from Ohio about 1867.

      I believe it may be the same Lucinda Pancake listed in the 1880 Census as step-daughter of Thomas Hardy and Ellen.  

      Although this census lists Linza as a Female stepdaughter, two years younger than Lucinda, in the 1875 Swan Lake Township, Meeker County Census, P 976, Dwelling 11, Family 83, Linza is again listed as a male. And again in the 1870 Swan Lake Township, Meeker County Census, P 4, Dwelling 27, Family 34, Lucinda's brother is listed as Lindsay. (Steve Scalf)

      Additionally, he lists the marriage year as 1887, instead of 1888.

      ELIZABETH SCALF
      Daughter of
      Brittan Scalf & Talitha Couch
      Elizabeth<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      Elizabeth Scalf was born about 1829 according to the 1860 Floyd County, Kentucky census. If this is correct, she was not the oldest daughter of Brittan Scalf and Talitha Couch. The oldest daughter was born 1820-1825 according to the 1840 Russell County, Virginia census. Elizabeth married William Blackburn October 17, 1850 in Floyd County, Kentucky. She died February 27, 1866 in Pike County Kentucky. Her mother, Talitha Couch Scalf signed her consent for the marriage. A transcribed copy of the marriage bond is listed here:

      Wilburn Blackburn and Sarah Elizabeth Scalf Marriage Bond
      
      Marriage Bonds of Pike Co. Ky 1822-1865 by Clyde Runyon, file # 1077; bond and consent from Litha Scafe, mother of Elizabeth.
      
      File # 1077
      
      License issued 26 October 1850 by Jno D Mims Clk for marriage of Wilbon Blackburn and Miss Elizabeth Scafe daughter of Litha Scafe of this county consent being Lawfully Given by the said Litha Scafe.   Bond signed by Wilbur Blackburn and James M Jackson.   Letter of consent, dated 25 October 1850, to issuing license for my Daughtar Elizabeth Scafe and Wilburn Blackburn; signed by Litha Scafe and witnessed by James M Jackson and John Scalf (by mark).   Wilburn Blackburn and Elizabeth Scalfe married Oct 27 by Jesse Ball (Jr?) Pason; certificate dated 15 November 1850. (Courtesy of Virgil Scalf)

      In Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Henry Scalf states that both Elizabeth and William are buried at McCombs in Pike County, Kentucky. Henry also states that Elizabeth’s mother, Talitha Couch Scalf probably died at Elizabeth’s home in the 1880’s. Elizabeth died before 1870 and her mother was not found in the home of this family on any census record.

      William Blackburn then married Tabitha Priest on November 4,1872. Tabitha Priest Blackburn died and William was again a widow by 1880. He then married Elizabeth Burchett on March 21, 1888 in Floyd County, KY. William moved over to Pike County for a time and moved back to Floyd County where he was last found in 1880.

      William Blackburn and Elizabeth Scalf had eight children before her death. The census records do not indicate that William and Tabitha had any children; however, it is possible the children were living with her family after her death. William died in 1906 on Missouri Creek, Pike County, Kentucky. (See Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

      ARCHIBALD SCALF
      Son of
      Brittan Scalf & Talitha Couch
      Archibald<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      Archibald Scalf was born about 1832 - 1834 in Russell County, Virginia. Archibald would have been around 11 or 12 years old when his father was killed and was a teenager when he moved to John’s Creek. As stated by Henry Scalf, Arch no doubt helped maintain the family when Talitha moved to Kentucky.

      Arch married Sarah Ann Sellards Sept. 2, 1852, Pike County, Kentucky.

      LINK TO MARRIAGE RECORD INDEX

      Sarah was the daughter of John. W Sellards and Elizabeth Burchett and the granddaughter of John Sellards, the Indian fighter, who was a brother to Jenny Sellards Wiley, who was captured by the Indians and escaped. Sarah was a first cousin to Clarinda Sellards who married John Henry Scalf brother of Archibald. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family)

      Kentucky tax lists for the years 1854, 1855, 1958 and 1860 shows that Archibald was living in Floyd County, Kentucky.

      Archibald joined the Confederate Army under Andrew Jackson May in Co. A, 5^th Kentucky Mounted Infantry. Henry Scalf reports that Arch was captured while visiting his home sometime after 1862. Archibald was taken to a prison camp in Michigan where he remained until the close of the war. He applied for and was awarded a Confederate pension by Kentucky in 1913 effective July 30, 1912. (Pension application) He received $10 per month to be paid quarterly. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family)

      In Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Henry Scalf states the following:

      Easter, or Esther L. as in the census, was five years old in 1860 and Martha Jane was one year old. One puzzling entry in the census was a Mary E. Scalf, 48 years old. This could not be his mother as her name was Talitha, although a deed record of Virginia does show it as Delitha. The entry is puzzling but it may be just another one of the errors found in early census records.

      A study of this census reveals that Mary E. Scalf was the daughter of Archibald and Sarah and was four years old in 1860. There does appear to be an 8 listed after the 4 but it also appears this is scribbled and not intended to be 48 as Henry originally thought.

      Archibald lived most of his life in Martin County, Kentucky near his sister, Mary Scalf Mills. Sarah Ann Sellards Scalf died 1900 - 1910 and Archibald was living with his son-in-law William Cook and daughter Sarah Scalf Cook at the enumeration of the 1920 Martin County, Kentucky census. Arch was not found after 1920.

      The bodies of Sarah Ann Sellards Scalf and Archibald were moved from Dick’s Creek and relocated at the Government Relocation Cemetery in Auxier, Kentucky when Dewey Lake was impounded. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

      Dewey was a small community in easternKentucky (Floyd County).  Several family members were born andlived in this area, including Montraville (Buck) Scalf, who was marriedto my grandmother Amma Sherman Day at the time of his death.  In 1949, the US Army Corps ofEngineers imploded John's Creek to form Dewey Lake and a dam was builtto help with flood control.  Dewey Lake is nowpart of Jenny Wiley State Park. Several cemeteries had to be relocated,and the graves were moved to the Auxier Relocation Cemetery.

       

      ** Personal note: Many years ago(probably mid 60's) while visiting relatives in the area my father,Billie Steve Day and my grandmother, Amma Sherman Day decided to take mybrother and I swimming at Dewey Lake. On a road overlooking the lake, mydad stopped the car and he and my grandmother got out.  They studied the lake area for a fewminutes and pointed out a large tree.  That tree was once in the backyardof the house they used to live in.  Where the house hadonce stood was now under water and part of Dewey Lake.(Courtesy - Debra S. (Day) DiSalvo)

      Buck’sremains are still buried in the Auxier Relocation Cemetery today.

      After Buck’s death, his wife Amma remarried William Day. The 1930 census listed Buck’s two daughters, Dottie and Olive, along with two new children that had been born to William and Amma. Billie was the first and oldest, being born 1926 (the census incorrectly lists his birth year as 1927).  (Courtesy - Andy Bonanno)

      By the 1940 census, the couple added four additional children.

Note that the correct birth year for Bill Day is 1901, not 1906 as shown in the 1940 census. (Courtesy - Andy Bonanno)

      Arminta Mintie Bartola Scalf was born about 1872 according to census records. However, the death certificate of Mintie states she was born 1869 in Floyd County, Kentucky. Mintie died August 11, 1915 at Odds (Johnson County) Kentucky from tuberculosis of the lungs. She was 46 years old and married. Her parents are listed as Archibald Scalf and Talitha Scalf. This is apparently an error by the informant because Talitha was the mother of Archibald and not his wife. Archibald married Sarah Ann Sellards and they were the parents of Arminta Mintie Bartola Scalf Webb.

      John Goble was Mintie’s physician and also the informant for the death certificate. Arminta is buried at Spears Cemetery in German, Kentucky. (Death Certificate of Mintie Scalf courtesy of Virgil Scalf)

      MARY SCALF
      Daughter of
      Brittan Scalf & Talitha Couch
      Mary<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      Mary Granny Scalf Mills, daughter of Brittan and Talitha Couch Scalf was born 1835 in Russell County, VA. She died July 11, 1925 in Martin County, KY.

      Mary married Columbus Mills November 13, 1865 in Pike County, KY. He was born 1833 in Clay County, Kentucky and died 1890 in Martin County, KY. Columbus and Mary had eight children. (Jennifer Boyd).

      The following census records reflect the family of Columbus and Mary Scalf Mills. Jennifer Boyd, a descendent of Mary Scalf Mills, submitted the information on the family of Mary Granny Scalf and Columbus Mills.

      Hezekiah Scalf, son of Brittan and Talitha, was living in the home of his sister, Mary Scalf Mills in 1860.

      A genealogy of the Mills family has not been undertaken here. However, census records were compiled for research of the descendants of this line of the family. Henry Scalf has written a considerable amount of information on this line of the family and this can be found in Chronicles of the Scalf Family.

      Columbus Mills was the son of William Mills and Mary (maiden name unknown). The census of 1850 is listed here showing Columbus in the home at age 16. We cannot confirm that Mary Scalf, daughter of Brittan and Talitha was named Nancy Bo Mary Scalf as listed in Chronicles of the Scalf Family; however, we also cannot deny this.

      MONTRAVILLE MONT MILLS
      Son of

      Montraville Mills was the last son listed on the census records as the child of Mary Granny Scalf and Christopher Columbus Mills. He was born about 1875. Montraville married Malinda Bowen. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

      When Monterville left Kentucky with his family Mary, his mother, went to Washington with them. She stayed here in WA for awhile and got home sick for KY and went back there where she died. Mont and Rendy had 10 children altogether. Melville, Ed, Ada, Robert, Walter, (Mary, My mother named after Mary Scalf), Elbert, Alice, Victor and Verley. Verley died very young Melville died in a sawmill accident in Mineral WA. Robert died of brights desease. Walter died fairly young with pneumonia. Most of the rest of them lived to be quite old. Monterville and Rendy died in the late fortys. Out of their issue I don't think any males remain. I believe the Monterville linage died out. Rendy was a Bowen and there are lots of Bowens still around here in Washington. Not many Scalfs left here though. (Courtesy of Dean Bogar)

      LEVY LEE SCALF
      Son of
      Brittan Scalf & Talitha Couch
      Levi<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      Levy Scalf was born 1837 according to Chronicles of the Scalf Family and 1838 according to the 1850 census of Pike County, Kentucky. Henry Scalf states he was known as Lee. One might wonder if his uncle, Lee Scalf, brother of Brittan was also named Levi and called Lee as well.

      Levy married first to Mary Ann Bevins Reed. Levy married Mary Ann August 10, 1858. The marriage record of Levy and Mary lists her name as Mary Ann Reed.

      LINK TO MARRIAGE RECORD INDEX

      Levy and Mary Ann were the parents of one son, James Emery Scalf.

      The census records suggest that James Emory Scalf son of Levy and Mary Ann was born about 1859. We have no information from any descendent of this family to confirm or deny if James Emory was the only child of Levy Scalf. Henry P. Scalf states that Mary Ann Bevins Reed was married previously to Rueben Reed. She was a widow when she married Levy.

      An excerpt from Chronicles of the Scalf Family is listed here concerning the parents and ancestors of Mary Ann. Although we have not been able to verify this information at this time, this information is listed for descendants of this line to help aid them in their research.

      Mary Ann Bevins Reed Scalf was a daughter of George Bevins and Nancy Williamson Bevins of the Rockhouse Fork of Big Creek. George Bevins was a son of John Bevins and Mary Jane Stacy Bevins. John was a son of the pioneer, Joseph Bevins, who came to Pike County, Kentucky, from Belfast, Ireland. Nancy Williamson was a daughter of John and Elender Black Williamson. John Williamson was the second son of Alden and Isabell Thompson Williamson, Eastern Kentucky pioneers (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII).

      Interestingly, on the 1860 census of Pike County, a daughter named Amy is listed in the home along with a stepdaughter named Amy and both were the same age. It is unknown if Levy and Mary Ann might have had a daughter named Amy or if this is another mistake by the enumerator when he recorded Mary Ann’s daughter by her first marriage. descendants of this family might be able to verify this information. Scalf was Spelled SCOFF on this census.

      The name appears to be Amy on the 1860 census but Henry Scalf states her name was Annie. James Emory, son of Levy and Mary Ann was born about 1859 according to the census record of 1870; however, James Emery does not appear in the home of Levy and Mary Ann in 1860. He does not appear until 1870 where he is listed as 11 years old. From this information it is concluded that Emery was not born until at least 1860 after the enumeration of the 1860 census.

      By 1870 Levy has remarried to Susanna Varney. It is difficult to determine if James was actually born in 1859 or possibly born after the enumeration of the 1860 census, which is more likely than 1859.

      James had left home by 1880 and is not listed on the 1880 census with Levy. Mary Rows is living in the home in 1880 and is listed as a homeless child. We cannot determine if there was a family relationship of Mary Rows and the Levy Scalf family.

      It appears that Mary Ann Bevins Reed Scalf died between 1860 and 1870. Levy then married Susanna Varney 14 May 1866 in Pike County, Kentucky. (Pike County Marriages). Henry Scalf reports there were no children from this marriage.

      Levy and Susanna were not found after the 1880 census of Pike County, Kentucky.

      JAMES EMERY SCALF
      Son of
      Levy Scalf & Mary Ann Bevins Reed
      James E<Levy<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      James Emery Scalf was born about 1859 according to the 1870 census of Pike County and died 1899. James married Frances E. Maynard 21 August 1879 in Pike County, Kentucky. (Pike County Marriages).

      Henry Scalf reports that descendants of Lee and James Emery Scalf family live in the West Virginia and Ohio areas.

      Frank Scalf of Columbus, Ohio reports the following children for James Emery Scalf from his research listed in Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII.
      
        1) Louisa Scalf born 1881.
        2) Lincoln Scalf born January 12, 1882.
        3) Samuel D. Scalf born December 1, 1885.
        4) David W. Scalf born March 13, 1886.
        5) Benjamin Scalf born October 8, 1888. (SS Death Index states birth date as October 4, 1888 and died March 1978)
        6) Oliver Scalf born August 9, 1892.
        7) Mary Ann Scalf born January 9, 1897.

      Excerpt from Chronicles of the Scalf Family concerning the list of children by another family member. This list has been re-arranged to reflect the number of children.

      Mrs. Laura Elkins Jackson, Gulnare, Kentucky, who was acquainted with the James Emery Scalf family, gives a variant list of children. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family)

        1) Louisia (Vicey) married George Young;
        2) Lincoln Scalf.
        3) Dallas Scalf married a Stepp.
        4) William married a Varney.
        5) Benjamin Scalf never married.
        6) Mary Ann Scalf married a Young.
        7) Matt, died age three.

      The research of Frank Scalf and the remembrances of Mrs. Jackson can probably be reconciled and the differences may be due in part to common, ordinary nicknames that were so often bestowed in families or neighborhoods. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

      The names of the children from Frank Scalf match the census records with the exception of Mary Ann who appears to be Mary W. on the census records; however, this could be due to the handwriting of the enumerator.

      The son, Dallas, submitted to Henry Scalf by Mrs. Jackson was most likely Samuel D. Scalf submitted by Frank Scalf. William was most likely David W. on the 1900 census.

      Henry Scalf states that James Emery died in the spring of 1899.

      Excerpt from Chronicles of the Scalf Family:

      He was stricken in the spring of 1899 while at work in a field, probably with a heart attack. He executed his will, July 17, 1899 and died July 30, 1899. He and his father are buried in the family cemetery on the Elkins Branch of Rockhouse Fork. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family)

      The 1900 census of Pike County, Kentucky does show his wife Frances as a widow in 1900. It appears that Frances remarried to a Munsey by the enumeration of the 1930 census and was also listed as a widow in 1930 indicating that her husband had died.

      New information since the posting of this chapter shows that Frances E. Maynard Scalf was born June 20, 1860 in Pike County, Kentucky and died April 5, 1948 at Williamson (Mingo County) West Virginia from bronchopneumonia. Her son, Ben Scalf, gave the information for her death certificate. She is listed as a widow and her married name of Scalf is listed, although she appears on the 1930 census as Frances Munsey living with her daughter Mary A. and husband, Willard Young. Frances was the daughter of Barney Maynard. Her mother’s name was unknown. She died at the age of 87 years, 9 months and 16 days old.

      LINCOLN SCALF
      Son of
      James Emery Scalf & Frances E. Maynard
      Lincoln<James E<Levy<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      Lincoln Scalf was born January 12, 1882 in Pike County, Kentucky. He was the oldest son of James Emery Scalf and Frances Maynard. Lincoln married first to Daisy (maiden name unknown) and second to Ella Stacy.

      Lincoln Scalf, son of James Emery Scalf and Frances Maynard Scalf, married ca 1901, the name of his wife unavailable except that her first name was Daisy, born Nov. 17, 1885, died Nov. 28, 1903. A son, the name unavailable, was born Feb. 9, 1903. He remarried March 12, 1906 to Ella Stacy, at the home of Jonathan Estep, a minister, Mingo County, West Virginia. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

      We have no further information on the first wife of Lincoln Scalf, or the name of the son of Lincoln and Daisy. However, Lincoln does appear with his second wife and family on the 1910 Mingo County, West Virginia census. Lincoln and Ella have a daughter and a son at this time. The daughter’s name appears to be Enez but her name was Inez.

      Lincoln was not found in 1920 or 1930 but his wife was found living in Pike County, Kentucky in 1930. Lincoln and Ella were divorced at this time. His son, James Emery and daughter Inez were not listed in the home but Ella has four younger children in the home in 1930. The last child was born in 1925. This suggests that Lincoln and Ella might have divorced shortly before 1930.

      Lincoln Scalf was employed most of his life in and around Williamson, West Virginia as a carpenter. He died from hemorrhage caused by a knife wound at the age of 52 on Oct. 15, 1934. John Tilley stabbed Lincoln in the right jugular vein at the corner of Pike and Third Street, Williamson, West Virginia. He is buried on the Elkins Branch of Rockhouse Fork at Pike County, Kentucky. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII and Death Certificate of Lincoln Scalf)

      LINK TO DEATH CERTIFICATE

      Lincoln Scalf married Ella Stacy, daughter of Thomas Jefferson Stacy and Perlina Scott. Ella was born in Pike County, Kentucky Mar 19, 1887 and died January 5, 1974 in Little Hocking, Ohio, at the age of 86 years. (Sherry Blackburn research)

      Lincoln Scalf and Ella Stacy had the following children:
      
        1) Inez Scalf was born Dec 28, 1907. She married Cassem Shaheen. Cassem was born in Syria.
        2) James Emory Scalf was born Apr 26, 1910.
        3) Kelba Scalf was born Apr 27, 1911. She married Allie H. (Sam) Shaheen in Logan, West Virginia. Allie was born in Syria.
        4) Elaine Scalf was born Feb 13, 1917. Elaine died Mar 24, 1971 at 54 years of age. She married Henry D Cross.
        5) Marie Scalf was born Mar 24, 1919. She married Dennis Conley.
        6) Hazel Scalf was born Feb 10, 1922. She married Donald Cornes Jul 11, 1940. Donald died May 12, 1979.
        7) Margaret Scalf was born Nov 9, 1925. She married Gilbert Irvine.

      We were contacted several years ago by one of the family members of Inez Scalf Shaheen to inform us of the death of Inez. She had died in Lebanon where she and her husband had moved many years ago. We have not been able to contact the informant and we have no exact death date for Inez but she passed away 2000 - 2004.

      GEORGE SAMUEL DALLAS SCALF
      Son of
      James Emery Scalf & Frances E. Maynard
      George Samuel D<James E<Levy<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      Samuel Dallas Scalf was born December 1, 1885 according to Henry P. Scalf, author of Chronicles of the Scalf Family. Henry did not list any information on Dallas in his writings other than his birth date. Mrs. Jackson stated that Dallas Scalf married a Stepp. We find Dallas Scalf on the 1910 census of Pike County, Kentucky with his wife Laura. The combination of these records suggests that Laura was Laura Stepp Scalf.

      (Link to death certificate of Laura Stepp Scalf)

      The full name of George Samuel Dallas Scalf is a bit confusing. On the census records and WWI Registration Card, we find Samuel Scalf and Dallas Scalf. However, on his WWII Registration Card, George Samuel Scalf is used. On an obituary and a death certificate, George Scalf is listed. The evidence points to a full name of George Samuel Dallas Scalf. A name with three given names is unusual but has happened several times in the Scalf family.

      George Samuel Dallas Scalf was born Dec 7, 1883. I know Grandpa went by all three names to various people. His only living child is the youngest daughter, Goldie, married to Herbert Mahon, Ragland, WV 25690 close to Delbarton, WV which is close to Williamson, WV. Grandpa settled in Mingo County, WV but most of his children moved elsewhere. My own father, David, settled in Logan County, WV. (Courtesy of  Carol Scalf Ferrell - 2009)

      David Willie Scalf, the son of George Samuel Dallas Scalf and Laura Stepp, was born August 14, 1910 in Pike County, KY. Dallas died November 23, 1968 in Logan, WV. Dallas married Mandyleen Elizabeth Chapman. Mandyleen was born September 14, 1915 in Pike County, KY and died November 10, 1993 in Logan, WV.

      My grandfather was Dallas Samuel Scalf. He moved to West Virginia in the early 1900s. My father was David Willie Scalf. He left school when he was about eleven years old and went to work in Mingo County with the coal mining industry. He and my mother later moved to Logan  County, West Virginia and most of their children were born in that area. He worked most of his life in the coal mines either as a boss or an electrician. He was a man’s man. He believed a man always took care of his family. Our parents provided a wonderful home for us. We always had a lots of friends, family, music and laughter. He was a member of the Odd Fellows and also the Moose Lodge. He owned a drive-in restaurant for several years. In order to purchase the property to build the restaurant on, he tore down a trestle that went to an old coal mine that went from one side of the mountain to another with very little help. I was about nine years old then and can remember how he would tie himself to those huge beams and use an electric saw to cut them apart. It was unbelievable that a man could accomplish such a feat by himself. He also built the building with some help from Grandpa Dallas. He did all this and much more while he also worked in the coal mines. He died early though at the age of fifty-eight. He had black lung but his death was listed as a heart attack. He was a wonderful father. - (Courtesy of  Carol Scalf Ferrell)

      Ella Scalf, daughter of Dallas Scalf and Laura Stepp, was born about 1916 per census records. Ella married Earl Jenkins. Her obituary is listed below courtesy of Steve Scalf.

       

      The census records and the obituary of Ella causes some confusion concerning her father’s name. Census records show George Scalf to be the brother of Ella and Samuel Dallas Scalf as her father, but the obituary lists her father as George Scalf. Whether this Dallas was also George or not is unknown. It is possible the person taking the information for the obituary was in error as well.

       

      Steve found the obituary of Ella (Ellie) Francis Scalf Jenkins, believed to be the daughter of Dallas Scalf and Laura Stepp. Note that the obituary states her father was George Scalf. The date of birth for Ellie (Ella Francis) Scalf calculates to a year of 1915 by the census records; however, her birth date is listed as January 9, 1916 in her obituary.

       

      OBITUARY OF ELLA FRANCES SCALF

       

      Ella Francis Scalf Jenkins, 87, a lifetime resident of Delbarton went to be with her Lord on Friday, July 18, 2003, at the Appalachian Regional Hospital in South Williamson, Ky.

      In addition to her parents, Mrs. Jenkins is preceded in death by her husband, Earl Jenkins, one daughter, Mildred Kennedy, seven brothers, Joe, John, Howard, Estil, Emory, George and David Scalf; and two sisters, Mary Baisden and Minnie Curry.

      David William Scalf was born March 13, 1886. (Ref: Frank Scalf - Chronicles of the Scalf Family). It is listed in Chronicles of the Scalf Family that William’s wife was a Varney. She is listed as Virdie on the 1920 census and in the Pike County, Kentucky Births. Her name is confirmed in a descendent chart sent to me by Sherry Blackburn several years ago.

      William is listed as Willie on the 1920 and 1930 censuses of Pike County, Kentucky. The two census records show seven children born to Willie and Virdie. Trimba is probably supposed to be Trimbal. It appears that he had died by the enumeration of the 1930 census as he was not listed and would have been 15 years old at that time.

      Hezekiah Scalf, son of Brittan Scalf and Talitha Couch, was born January 30, 1841in Russell County, Virginia and died April 17, 1924 at Monder (Pike Co.) Kentucky. (Pike County, Kentucky death records)

      LINK TO DEATH CERTIFICATE
      
      Hezekiah married Sarah Jane Vaughn Riddle daughter of Andrew and Susannah Vaughn Riddle. They were married August 14, 1863. (Marriage index courtesy of Virgil Scalf)

      LINK TO MARRIAGE RECORD INDEX

      Sarah Jane’s name is often seen in various places on the Internet as Sarah Vaughn Riddle. We have no confirming evidence that Sarah’s maiden name was Vaughn. Her mother’s maiden name was Vaughn and this suggests that Sarah might have been born out of wedlock. We can safely assume that Vaughn was not a middle name for Sarah’s middle name was Jane.

      Henry P. Scalf, grandson of Sarah states her name was Sarah Jane Riddle. However, on the paragraph heading of Hezekiah’s descendants from Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Henry P. Scalf does list her name as Sarah Vaughn Riddle. There is no confirming evidence known to the author to confirm whether Sarah’s maiden name was Vaughn or Riddle. Sarah’s mother is listed in the home in 1880 as Susan Riddle widow. Until further information can determine her correct maiden name, Sarah will be listed as Sarah Jane Vaughn-Riddle Scalf.

      Hezekiah’s parents were listed as Brittan and Litha Couch on his death certificate. The cause of death was listed as infection following catheterization of urinary bladder and senility. The informant for the record was Jno. Scalf. We are not certain which John Scalf this might have been but is believed to have been John B. McClellan Scalf, son of Hezekiah.

      Hezekiah was 83 years, 2 months and 18 days old at the time of his death. Nine months after the death of her husband Sarah Jane Vaughn-Riddle Scalf died January 14, 1925 according to Chronicles of the Scalf Family; however, the Pike County, Kentucky death records list her death date as January 12, 1925. No cemetery is listed on the death certificate of Hezekiah but Henry Scalf states, both were buried in Scalf Cemetery on Scalf Branch.

       

      LINK TO DEATH CERTIFICATE

      Sarah’s mother, Susan Vaughn Riddle, was living with Hezekiah and Sarah in 1870 and 1880. Susan was not found after 1880 and presumed deceased.

      Henry Scalf states that Louanna Scalf Thompson was a daughter of Hezekiah. There is also an Anna J. listed on the census records, but Louanna was never listed. We cannot confirm with confidence that Anna J. and Louanna were the same person although it is very possible they were.

      An excerpt from Chronicles of the Scalf Family is listed here. Henry was not able to find records for Ann J. Scalf in his research. This research has also not been able to find records concerning Anna J. Scalf.

      VII - VIII. Reconciliation of the 1880 Pike County Census with the Bible and other records of the Hezekiah Scalf family is difficult. The census lists a daughter, Anna J., 14 years old, who, would thus have been born in 1866. This could not be Louanna whose birth date was 1876. The census also lists a Nancy E., age two. This daughter could not be Louanna. Anna J. is listed in the 1870 Pike County Census as 4 years old, adding evidence that Anna J. was a daughter of Hezekiah and Sarah Scalf. It is believed she died between 1880 and 1890. Nancy E., of whom no other record exists, must have died before the turn of the century. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

      As can be seen by the census of 1860 in Floyd County, Kentucky, Hezekiah was not married in 1860. He was living with his sister Mary and brother-in-law, Columbus Mills at that time. Three years later, in 1863, Hezekiah married Sarah Jane Vaughn-Riddle, daughter of Susan Vaughn-Riddle.

      Hezekiah was with his sister and brother-in-law in 1860.

      In the home of Hezekiah in 1870 were three children; John B., Anny J., and William B., along with Susan Riddle, the mother of Hezekiah’s wife Sarah.

      Note that Anny J. has an estimated birth date of 1866 on the 1870 census.

      By 1880, Hezekiah and Sarah had four more children. His mother-in-law Susan Riddle was still in the home. In addition to John B., Anny J., and William P., Hezekiah and Sarah now had Robert L., Melvin, Nancy E., and William P.

      Note that Anna J. again has an estimated birth date of 1866 in 1880. Also note that there is no daughter in the home named Louanna. Louanna was born about 1876 according to her death certificate and should have been in the home in 1880.

      By 1900, all the children are gone from the home except James who was born after the enumeration of the 1880 census and was not listed on that census. Note that Anna J. is gone from the home in 1900. She would have been 34 years old in 1900 and likely married if she lived. Louanna (born 1876) does not appear on census records with the family.

      Also note that Sarah stated she had 8 children with 6 living in 1900.

      In 1910, James is gone and Robert L. is back in the home of his parents. We assume Robert was off somewhere working or possibly married by 1900, however, he is listed as single on the next census.

       Sarah again states she had eight children with six living in 1910.

      No doubt, Henry was confused with the census records and rightfully so due to the years involved. He mentions that Nancy E. was 2 years old in 1880 and must have died because she disappears from the records. It is possible that Nancy did die; however, we must remember that Nancy would have been around 22 years old by the time the next census (1900) was enumerated and could have been married at that time. There is a 20-year gap between the 1880 and 1900 census, which causes considerable problems in locating people during that timeframe. Another look at marriages for a Nancy Scalf in the area might reveal if Nancy married during that timeframe.

      Henry also believed that Anna J. might have died. There was never a listing of a child named Louanna with the family on census records, only Anna J. However, a death certificate obtained by Virgil Scalf reveals that Louanna (Louann) was in fact, the daughter of Hezekiah and Sarah.

      On the death certificate, Hezekiah’s name is listed as Kia Scalf, which was a short name for Hezekiah and confirms that he was the father of Louanna. Her mother is listed as Sarah Vaughn as well.

      CONCLUSION:

      Sarah Jane Vaughn-Riddle stated in 1900 that she had eight children with six living. These are the children listed from the census records of Hezekiah and Sarah:

        1) John B.
        2) Anny J.
        3) William B.
        4) Robert L.
        5) Melvin
        6) Nancy E.
        7) William P.
        8) James

      From these census records we deduct two of these children, which appear to have been Nancy E. and Anny J. leaving six children living. We know from her death certificate that Louanna was certainly another child of Hezekiah and Sarah and this would have made seven living children by 1900 because she was born in 1876.

      It appears that Sarah either made a mistake in her statement, or one of these children did not belong to Hezekiah and Sarah. The only other conclusion to this mystery is the fact that Anny J. and Louanna could have been the same person and the statements made by Louanna concerning her age, etc., were incorrect. All the children listed on the 1870 and 1880 census records were gone from the home by 1900 with the exception of James and therefore, we have no way of knowing exactly which children died before 1900.

      As of this date (July 2009) we can verify all the children of Hezekiah that lived to have children. These were:  John B. Scalf, Melvin Scalf, Louanna Scalf, James Pinckney Scalf, William Preston Scalf, and Robert L. Scalf. The missing children are William B. Scalf, Nancy E.. Scalf, and Anny J. Scalf. This is a total of nine children, unless Anny J. and Louanna were the same person. If Louanna and Anny J. were the same person, the deceased children would likely have been William B. Scalf and Nancy E. Scalf.

      Son of

      John B<Hezekiah<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      John B. McClellen Scalf was born January 13, 1864 in Pike County, Kentucky and died at Pike County February 5. 1932 at the age of 67 years, 5 months and 22 days from typhoid fever. John was under a physician’s care from January 11, 1932 until his death in February. His death certificate lists him as widowed at the time of death. (Death certificate courtesy of Virgil Scalf)

      LINK TO DEATH CERTIFICATE

      John married Sarah Belle Jackson 11 August 1887 in Pike County, Kentucky. (Pike County Marriages)

      From Chronicles of the Scalf Family:

      John B. McClellan Scalf, Born Jan, 13, 1864, on the McGuire farm, on Johns Creek; married Belle Jackson Collinsworth of Johns Creek. She was born May 3, 1867. Belle Scalf died Nov. 25, 1915 after a long illness. John survived 17 years, living on at the home and rearing his children. He died Feb. 5. 1932, at the Methodist hospital, Pikeville, Kentucky. Both are buried in the Scalf cemetery. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

      The records are a bit confusing concerning Belle, as it appears she was either married prior to her marriage to John or she was born before her mother married Tom Collinsworth. Her death certificate states that her father was Tom Collinsworth and her mother was a Jackson. Her mother’s first name is difficult to determine from this record. Henry Scalf lists Sarah Belle’s name as Belle Jackson Collinsworth. From this we assume her mother may have been married to a Jackson before she married Tom Collinsworth or Belle was born out of wedlock.

      This family was found on the census records through 1920. Sarah Belle Jackson Collinsworth Scalf is not listed on the 1920 census records. Her death record confirms the information stated by Henry Scalf with the exception of her birth date, which is not listed on the death certificate. Bell died from abscess of the lungs. Ballard Scalf was the informant for the death record. (Death record courtesy of Virgil Scalf)

      During the 1920 census which was taken in January, Irvin and his brother, H.H. Scalf, are listed in the home of their parent, but later in the month, they move to Mingo County, WV and are living with the George Elswick family.

      Son of
      John B. McClellen Scalf and Sarah Belle Jackson Collinsworth
      H.F<John B<Hezekiah<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      H. H. Scalf was born September 8, 1901 and died March 8, 1975. We do not know what the H and F stood for in his name if this was H. F. It could also have been H. H. He was listed on the 1910 and 1920 censuses in the home of his father, John B. McClellen Scalf. In 1910 his initials appear to be H. F. and in 1920 they appear to be H. H. His gravestone has a large H and the date he was born and the date he died. He married, November 29, 1930 to Zora Conn. She was born July 23, 1914. (See Chronicles of the Scalf Family for the children of this couple).

      During the 1920 census which was taken in January, H. H. and his brother, Irvin Scalf, are listed in the home of their parent, but later in the month, they move to Mingo County, WV and are living with the George Elswick family.

      LOUANNA SCALF
      Daughter of

      Louanna<Hezekiah<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      Louanna Scalf, daughter of Hezekiah Scalf and Sarah Vaughn Riddle Scalf, was born May 1, 1876 in Pike County, Kentucky and died January 20, 1963 at Prestonsburg General Hospital in Floyd County, Kentucky at the age of 87 years old from acute myocardial infarction. Her parents are listed as Kia Scalf and Sarah Vaughn on her death certificate. Louann is buried at Scalf Cemetery in Endicott (Pike County) Kentucky. (Death certificate courtesy of Virgil Scalf)

      LINK TO DEATH CERTIFICATE OF LOUANN SCALF THOMPSON

      Louanna married William Ireland Thompson. We have no marriage date for Louanna at this time; however, the 1900 census of Pike County, Kentucky reveals that Luanna had been married 5 years and had 4 children living. By estimation, this places their marriage date around 1895 and correlates with the birth of their child Martha born 1896.

      The author believes that Floyd, from the 1910 census, is the same person as Jackson from the 1900 census due to the age and estimated birth date. A death certificate for Floyd is listed below and corresponds with the birth date given for Jackson on the census.

       William Ireland Thompson was the son of Granville Thompson. His mother’s name was not listed on his death certificate. Ireland was born about 1882 according to his death certificate and died October 22, 1948 at the age of 66 from cerebral hemorrhage. He is buried at the Buffalo Cemetery in Prestonsburg, Kentucky. (Death certificate courtesy of Virgil Scalf)

      LINK TO DEATH CERTIFICATE OF IRELAND THOMPSON

      Note that Ireland’s death certificate lists his age as 66, which estimates a birth year of 1882; however, census records suggest he was born 1873-1875 and this is probably closer to being correct.  

      Luanna and Ireland were found on the 1900 through 1930 census records of Pike County, Kentucky. Louanna stated she had four children with four living.

      NOTE:  On the 1930 census Tennessee appears as a granddaughter at age 14. In 1920, Tennessee is listed as a daughter at the age of 2 years and 6 months old. She should have been 12 years and 6 months old in 1930 but appears as14 years old in 1930. Although the age is off by 2 years, we believe that Tennessee was the daughter from the 1920 census instead of a granddaughter as she was listed in 1930. We believe the enumerator likely got confused since the daughter Sarah was married and divorced with her children in the home. Sarah also appears as a granddaughter in 1930 instead of a daughter.

      Sarah was 15 in 1920 and appears as a granddaughter in 1930 at age 22. We feel certain this was another mistake by the enumerator and Sarah was actually the daughter and not a granddaughter.

      Sarah had married at the age of 18 according to the 1930 census. If this is correct, she would have married around 1923 according to her estimated birth year from the census records. This would have been 7 years before the enumeration of the 1930 census. If this is correct, the children, Elsie, age 7; Woodrow, age 3 yrs. and 4 months; and Celia, age 5 could have been Sarah’s children although Celia and Woodrow are listed as children of Ireland and Louanna. Unfortunately, this census does not list how many children belonged to each family, living and/or deceased. Therefore, we can only assume these could have been Sarah’s children.

      Again, Louanna states she married at 18.

      CONCLUSION: Louanna stated in 1920 that she married at age 18. She also stated she had been married 5 years in 1900, which places her marriage date around 1895. If born in 1876, she was around 18 or 19 when she married.

      As of this date, we have not found information on Anny J. Scalf, Nancy E. Scalf, or William B. Scalf, children of Hezekiah and Sarah; however, the search continues.

      Floyd Thompson, son of Ireland and Louann, was born May 20, 1901 and died January 1 in either 1923 or 1925. The death certificate is confusing because the date of onset of his illness states from December 22, 1922 to January 1, 1922, which could not be accurate and the author wonders if this should be January 1, 1923; however, it also states the duration of illness as 28 months. Some numbers are blurred and difficult to make out. Floyd died from typhoid caused by complications of hemorrhage, so it is very difficult to determine what the dates actually are. Floyd is buried at Wonder, Kentucky. His parents are listed as Ireland Thompson and Louann Scalf. (Death certificate courtesy of Virgil Scalf)

      JAMES PINCKNEY SCALF
      Son of
      Hezekiah Scalf & Sarah Vaughn Riddle
      James P<Hezekiah<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      James Pinckney Scalf was born May 10, 1880 in Pike County, Kentucky. His death certificate states he was approximately 58 years old when he died. He died December 17, 1936. The accident took place on his farm at Mare Creek. James was buried at Mare Creek on December 20, 1936.

      Statement of Henry P. Scalf: While working for his nephew, Wallace Scalf, on a farm, on Mare Creek, he was accidentally killed by falling over a cliff while constructing a fence, Dec. 17, 1936. He lies buried in the Stratton-Scalf cemetery on Mare Creek. His widow, Dovie Lyons Scalf, survives at this date 1966. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, Chapter VIII)

      LINK TO DEATH CERTIFICATE

      At the time of death, James was married to Dovie Lyons. He is shown only on the 1910 census with his first wife Angeline Collins. Angie died December 23, 1918. James and Angie were the parents of five children. One of these children was Ollie B. Scalf born March 4, 1916 in Pike County, Kentucky. (Pike County, KY birth records)

      Another child found on the Pike County birth records was Suza M. Scalf born March 6, 1913. Her mother’s name is listed as Cilsy Collins. There does not appear to be another Collins marriage in this family and we are assuming this might have been a misspelling of a nickname or middle for Angeline; however, this could be another person.

      In 1920, James is in the home of his father Hezekiah along with the children of James and Angie.

      James then married Dovie Lyons and they had four children.

      By estimation from the census records, James married Dovie Lyons around 1917. They were found on the 1930 census of Pike County, Kentucky. The children of James and Angie were not found in the home on this census.

      MELVIN SCALF
      Son of
      Hezekiah Scalf & Sarah Vaughn Riddle
      Melvin<Hezekiah<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      Melvin Scalf was born about April 25, 1875 according to WWI Registration Card. He married Alcya or Elsie Goble 21 January 1897 in Pike County, Kentucky (Pike County Marriages).

      Her name is spelled Alcya on this record. Her name is stated in Chronicles of the Scalf Family as Elsie Goble. Melvin and his family moved to Lewis County Washington around 1904 but moved back to Kentucky some years later. An excerpt is listed from Chronicles of the Scalf Family concerning Melvin.

      He settled on the Cowlitz River in Southern Washington, homesteaded a ranch and added to his family. He returned in 1921, after an absence of 17 years. His wife had died and he remarried, went to housekeeping again on the Scalf farm. He remarried to Ann Spears Collins, widow. They were parents of four children, one son named Walter II. Melvin Scalf, after a long illness, died Dec. 17, 1936, and is buried back of his home site on a cedar covered knoll he selected while living. (Chronicles of the Scalf Family, VIII)

      Based on information found in the 1940 census, the death of Melvin Scalf did not occur on December 17, 1936 as was reported in Henry Scalf's book, Chronicles of the Scalf Family, and he was alive when the 1940 census was taken on April 3, 1940. At the present time, we do not know when Melvin Scalf died.

      The 1930 census shows Melvin married to Susie. We cannot confirm if Susan was the same person as Ann mentioned in Henry’s writings. Chronicles of the Scalf Family states that Walter, the first child of Melvin died in Washington in early adulthood. Walter was listed in the cemetery listings of Rainey Valley Cemetery with no birth or death dates. However, an obituary was found at the Lewis County Historical Museum.

      ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE FAMILY OF WILLIE MORGAN SCALF SR., AND WILLIE MORGAN JR. (Courtesy of Sharon Scalf Ratliff)

      The following information on this family was received from Sharon Scalf Ratliff: 

      *2. Geraldine Scalf (There was no Geraldine Scalf born to this marriage, there was, however, a Janice (November 25, 1929) which you do not have listed.

      NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: Janice was not included in the children of Willie and Ethel listed above from the information of Sherry Blackburn due to the handwriting of the enumerator on the 1930 census. The author could not satisfactorily determine if the enumerator intended to write Geraldine or another name. Sharon Ratliff has clarified this name and we are grateful for her help.

      Shortly after the enumeration of the 1930 Pike County census in District 1, it appears that Mitchell and Arzella moved to Ward #51 in Pikeville in time for the enumeration in that area as they were listed twice in 1930. Robert does not appear to be with them on the second enumeration and may have married between April 4 and April 11, 1930.

      Son of

      John C<Mitchell<James B<Brittan<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf

      John Calhoun Breckenridge Hot Rock Scalf, born February 24, 1898 in Pike County, Kentucky. He married Grace Charles on November 5, 1921 in Pike County. Grace was the daughter of James Charles and Rebecca  ____ Charles. John died February 17, 1971 in Pikeville, Kentucky.   Grace was born May 26, 1898 in Pike County, Kentucky and died December 8, 1977 in Pike County, Kentucky. He and Grace are buried at the Pinson Cemetery on Raccoon Creek in Pike County.   (Courtesy of Sherrie Simpson)

      John married Grace Charles. It appears that John and Grace were married about 1917 from a calculation of the birth of their first child. It is reported in Chronicles of the Scalf Family that John’s full name was John C. B. Scalf. John and Grace were found on the 1930 Pike County, Kentucky census with one child, Viola.

       

      Children of John Scalf and Grace Charles:

      
        1)nbsp;Homer Scalf - born February 9, 1927.
        2) Gertrude Scalf - born July 3, 1930 in Pike County, Kentucky
        3) Ann Scalf - born March 14, 1935 in Pike County, Kentucky
        4) Jimmie R. Scalf - born October 24, 1939 in Pike County, Kentucky
        5) Mildred Ruth Scalf - born February 10, 1942 in Pike County, Kentucky
        6) Viva Scalf, born about 1924 in Pike County, Kentucky. Viva married a Ray and had 15 children at the time of her death. She died several years ago. Viva is probably Viola Scalf on the 1930 census.

      
      It appears that Homer may have died since he as not listed on the 1930 census. Gertrude was born after the enumeration of this census and would not be listed.

      William Scalf, son of James Breckenridge Scalf, was born Aug. 19, 1879 and married Gracie Blackburn. Gracie was born 19 August and died March 1968 at Pikeville (Pike Co) Kentucky. (SS Death Index)

      This couple was followed on the census records from 1900 through 1920. William was living in the home of Henderson and Rebecca Scott in 1900.

      Children of William and Gracie from Chronicles of the Scalf Family. Births from Pike County, Kentucky Birth Records:

       

      1) Clyde E. Scalf born 20 March 1905 and died 5 February 15, 1993. (SS Death Index and Pike County, Kentucky death records) He married Sallie McCoy. Pike County birth records list a child, Anna L. born August 28, 1930.

      2) William Glenn Scalf married Beulah May Johnson. Beulah was born 27 November 1911 and died May 19, 1977. (SS Death Index and Pike County, KY deaths)

      3) Clell Scalf married Francis Adkins.

      4) Clara Scalf married Frank Mattox.

      5) Carie W. Scalf born 08/24/1915, Pike County, Kentucky. Carrie married Hansford Rogers.

      7) Thomas Scalf married Jerry Hayes

      The birth records of Pike County, Kentucky list a Clint Scalf born March 30, 1913 in Pike County, Kentucky. His mother was listed as Gracie Blackburn. A child named Clint was not found on the census records and we cannot determine if this child died or the name may have been transcribed wrong on one of the records. A William G. Scalf was born in 1911 and we believe this to be Glenn.

       

      William and Grace were found on the census records from 1900 through 1930.
