And, during the spring of the year, the United States conducted its sixteenth census of the population. On April 2, 2012, seventy-two years from when the 1940 census was conducted, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) made the 1940 census available to the public for the first time. Through a partnership between NARA and archives.org, the official web site for the 1940 census is http://1940census.archives.gov (see below for other sites that also provide access). The 1940 census was conducted during a momentous time in our nation's history, as the Great Depression was winding down and not long before our entry into World War II. More information regarding how 1940 compared to previous census enumerations as well as the 2010 census may be discovered at http://www.census.gov/1940census and select 1940 Census Facts for Features. The un-indexed 1940 census is available at several online sites: ancestry.com, familysearch.org, myheritage.com, archives.com, and findymypast.com. Each site is working on its index to the 1940 census, and the completion of a state’s index will vary site by site. One way to follow the indexing status is to read the blog of The Ancestry Insider at http://ancestryinsider.blogspot.com. However, the lack of an index does not preclude browsing the census. Each of the sites has its own browsing tool, usually a technique that will convert 1930 census enumeration districts to the 1940 districts. Once the 1940 enumeration district is known, browsing is fairly straightforward. Of course, we all want an every-name index and that is being accomplished via volunteers. If indexing is something in which you might be interested, please check out the indexing volunteer opportunities on any of the sites. Kathy Merithew P.S. from the editor: I used the ancestry.com site and after a little initial confusion managed to locate the link to their 1940 census data. I selected Virginia, then Gloucester County, and then the Ware district (“Populated Place,” as they call it). That showed me two enumeration districts: 37-8 and 37-9 (it turns out that enumeration district 37 is Gloucester County and 58 is Mathews County). So I started with 37-8 and there were my grandparents, mother, aunt, and uncle in the center of the first page! Well, that was easy. What you see are the digital images of the census sheets filled in by the census taker. Frank Jarvis handled 37-8, and I have to say he doesn’t seem to have been the neatest fellow in the county. But, Jeff Sinclair did 37-9, and I think he let a chicken fill in the form. We’re going to need some indexers who will recognize our local names. Lee Brown, Editor Vol. 16, No. 1 2 June 2012 Dunston and Teagle Descendents of Thomas Evans By L. Roane Hunt It is our pleasure to announce a new discovery of original Gloucester documents from 1835. Recently, Betty Lou Dunston Kopczynski, a lifelong resident of York County, approached the Gloucester Museum of History with scrapbooks containing her family history in photographs and descriptions of each. Betty Lou is a member of the first graduating class of York High School in 1955. She married Vincent Paul “Ski” Kopczynski, and they have three sons. The photo inset was taken in the early 1970s. She is the daughter of Edgar Hansford Dunston and Mary Oneda Shackelford from Gloucester County. Betty Lou Dunston Her interest in family history was stirred with the estate sale of Kopczynski her great-aunt, Rosa Dunston Hall. Rosa had married Silas Columbus Hall, and they operated a small store in the Hayes community of Gloucester. They had no children, so their estate was settled with an auction sale. Betty Lou managed to purchase a small trunk containing some personal belongings of her Aunt Rosa. The trunk contained many photographs of the Dunston and Teagle families, and her father was able to identify most of the people and places of each. Betty Lou used her scrapbook hobby skills to preserve the documents from Aunt Rosa’s trunk for her father’s family. She also documented her mother’s Shackelford family in a separate album. See photograph of both scrapbooks below. Aunt Rosa’s trunk also contained eleven pages from a store account book of Thomas Evans dated 1835- 1837. Individual purchases of twenty-seven patrons were recorded on both sides of each page. Immediately, questions arose. Why were these documents in Aunt Rosa’s trunk? Who was Thomas Evans? And, where was his store located? An examination of Betty Lou’s pedigree chart on the next page suggests the path by which the account pages were passed down to Aunt Photograph of open Dunston scrapbook on left and closed Rosa. Rosa was the sister of Shackelford scrapbook on right Vol. 16, No. 1 3 June 2012 Dunston and Teagle Descendents of Thomas Evans Ancestors of Betty Lou Dunston Kopczynski Richard D.

Vol. 16, No. 1 4 June 2012 Dunston and Teagle Descendents of Thomas Evans James Patrick Dunston, Betty Lou’s grandfather. His grandmother was Asenath Teagle who was the granddaughter of Catherine Evans who was a daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Evans. It appears that credit is due to Asenath Teagle Dunston, Rosa Dunston Hall, and Betty Lou for the preservation of these documents. Ancestors of Betty Lou Betty Lou descended from Richard D. Dunston, her great-great-grandfather. He had at least six children by his first wife. His second wife was Susan Hughes, widow of Henry Stubblefield. Susan Hughes was the great-great-granddaughter of Rev. Thomas Hughes, Anglican minister in Gloucester, and John Clayton, internationally known botanist and Gloucester clerk of court. As previously mentioned, James Edward Dunston married Asenath Teagle who descended from Teagle and Evans families of southern Gloucester County. Their son, James Patrick Dunston, married Inez Ambrose who descended from the Ambrose, Carmine, and Fosque families of the southwestern part of the county. Betty Lou’s mother descended from the Shackelford, Moore, Walker, Hudson, Brown, West, Bonniville, and Sparrow families of the southeastern part of Gloucester County (Guinea). Four generations: Steve, Betty Lou, Mary Oneda Shackelford Betty Lou is shown in the Dunston, and Mamie Brown Shackelford adjacent photograph with her son, mother and maternal grandmother. The Family of James Edward Dunston and Asenath Teagle James and Asenath had at least eight children that reached adulthood as shown in the family chart on the next page. Most of the photographs in Aunt Rosa’s trunk were taken of this Dunston family. Family photographs are also shown on the next page including James Edward Dunston in the lower left of the page. Asenath Dunston is shown on the upper right with two young sons and Asenath many years later in the lower right. Their oldest son, Charles, married Georgia Smith, and their daughter was the mother of Carmen Rigau Stanford. Carmen shared about her family in a previous Family Tree Searcher (FTS, Vol. 13, No. 2, December 2009).

Reprinted by JARMAN'S, iNCOIEI'dltATKD from the 1SS7 Edition for THE GREEN BOOKMAN Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1887, by WYNDHAM ROBERTSON In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. PREFACE. I offer to the narrow circle it may interest, as well as I have been able to restore it, the Tree of Pocahontas and Rolf e, as it has grown from them as its root to its seventh season (inclu­ sive) of fruitage. I accompany it with illustrative sketches of some of its notable products, within my reach, in order to relieve the blankness of it, by revealing something of its in­ ward succulence as well as its outward form. I have conden­ sed them as much as in my view consisted with my object, knowing how insignificant the whole matter is amid the great surges of the world it is thrown upon. The notice of Poca­ hontas is exceptionally long for reasons apparent on the face of it, involving, as it does, incidentally, the vindication of Captain Smith against the unfriendly strictures of some mod­ ern critics, and which all lovers of justice will thank me for introducing.

  • The First Halls in Virginia
    THE FIRST HALLS IN VIRGINIA In 1584, Queen Elizabeth I gave the English adventurer, Sir Walter Raleigh, permission to establish colonies in America. One of the most intriguing was THE LOST COLONY. They were the third group of Englishmen who tried to make a permanent settlement in this country and this group settled on Roanoke Island on the coast of North Carolina. The first few expeditions failed because the settlers did not have enough supplies, but this last group was supposed to have brought enough to be self sufficient until they could raise their own crops. They landed in 1587, but the next supply ship from England was delayed until 1580. Upon its arrival, the only sign found of the original 117 settlers was the word “croatoan” carved on a tree. The Croatans were the Indians who lived in the area. The mystery of the Lost Colony has never been solved. In 1606, the new king, James I, chartered the Virginia Company of London and in May 1607, a new group of colonists established the first permanent English settlement at Jamestown. They came on the ships Susan Constant, Goodspeed and Discovery. During the next winter, many colonists starved and the rest were ready to give up and return to England. During this time, John Smith made his famous trip up river to meet with Powhatan and the Indian princess, Pocahontas is reported to have saved his life. But springtime brought the arrival of a new fleet bringing supplies and new colonists….and by 1612, these settlers were established enough to begin to raise crops for export…namely tobacco.

  • William Thomas Eldridge
    WILLIAM THOMAS ELDRIDGE J HE character and capacity of men are almost uner­ ringly revealed by their achievements. In rare instances untoward circumstances or calamities against which no foresight can provide, and the results of which no extent of endeavor can avoid, may make the highest measure of efficiency of no avail, but though the standard is often hard, illogical and unjust, yet the fact remains that "success is the test of merit." When a boy of twelve, without means and with only a limited education, starts out upon his career in life handi­ capped by self-assumed family burdens and, without the aid of any political or financial influence, assistance or prestige, rises before he reaches the meridian of life to a recognized position of power and success in the business world, he has avouched him­ self as being dowered with inherent natural capacity for great achievements. On September 9, 1862, William Thomas Eldridge was born in Washington County, Texas, and at twelve years of age became self-supporting. Dependent upon his own resources, whether resting 'neath fortune's favors or her frowns, he was always brave, resourceful and self-reliant. Mere energy, unassociated with intelligence, is not a weapon wherewith success is won, but when it is coupled with a vision which reaches far, imagination that fashions future achieve­ ments, and intelligence which enables the possessor to translate visions into realities, his success is assured. W. T. Eldridge, before he attained his majority, moved to Eagle Lake, Texas, a town surrounded by a marvelously rich territory, and identified himself with every enterprise and interest of the community.

When she married George Preston Cochran at 16 in 1898, they told her she could pick out anything from their house as a wedding gift; she chose a wardrobe which she kept for the rest of her life.
