Early 1920s; Joanna Mills Harrelson's House in Tabor, North Carolina

In the 1920 census, Joanna Mills Harrelson was widowed. She was listed as the head of household and had two children. Their names are Linie E and Harry Harrelson. Joanna Mills was married to Postie M Harrelson on January 26, 1911.

Joanna Mills was the sister to Annette Virgina Mills, my 2nd great grandmother.

I'm not sure about this following picture, but it looks like Eveline Harrelson is on the left holding a cat and the young boy is Harry Harrelson.

James Mills, Wharton Photograph, Raleigh, NC

The image was taken on 119 Fayetteville St. in Raleigh, NC between the years of 1887 and 1910. Based on the age, style of clothes, and dates of the image, I believe this could be James Mills (1853-1910).

Letter from Scottie Belle to Nettie V. Moore (April 6, 1964)

April 6, 1964
Dear Nettie,

How are you this cool morning? I sure hope you are getting along nicely. We are all O.K. at present, I went somewhere I never had seen before, since it has built up so much, it was Long Beach. It gets its name for being so long. It is about 12 or 15 miles long. You can see Southport from there. Almost.

We came by another place I've never been there at all, it was Ft. Caswell. It was a beautiful place, But you know, I don't think, I would like to make my hone, on any of the Beaches, I believe I’m a real ole land "lubber", eh. oh. I like to go down, and eat that delicious sea food. yum yum, you know the most of people just can't cook sea food like they serve it down there, well I had to stop and fix lunch so I will finish a few more lines.

I thought India looked real good, would have been very glad to have seen the rest of your children, but the weather prevented that, I think I was very fortunate to get to spend as much time, with you, as I did, the next time I go up, I hope to spend more time with you.

Well, Nettie I have some new neighbors. It has rained so much. I haven’t been over to meet them. They don't have any small children. So I do not worry about them being on the highway, as I did before the others that lived there. Well we had a beautiful Easter, but it was cold. I didn't go any place at all. I listened in on some musical programs. They were very impressive, you know me. I love music.

Alice Ann was home for the Holidays. I didn't get to see, as she was sick, and stayed in. She went back to her work on Monday. I missed her so much because she always comes to see me when she is home.

 Well Nettie, guess I will stop for now. I have really messed up this letter, please excuse all the mistakes. and always remember that I will love you always. I'm thinking of you every day.

I am as ever you sister,
Scottie Belle
Love

The Family of James Albert Mills and Sarah Margania Gore

In the 1880 Census, James, Sarah, and "Nettie" are living in Lees, Columbus, North Carolina. James works on a farm and Sarah is keeping house.

In the 1900 Census, The Mills family is living in Rockfish, Cumberland Co., North Carolina. All seven children are living with them.

James and Sarah Mills are buried at Mount Siani Baptist Church Cemetery in Clarendon, NC. 

Here are some pictures of their children. India Moore White wrote the names on the back of each photo.

James Walter Mills (Uncle Walter) --Based on the other pictures and the ages of the children, I believe that this could be Edgar Dozier Mills. Walter Mills would have been around 17 at the time of this picture (1899-1900).

Aaron Bishop Mills (Uncle Bish)

Scottie Belle Mills (Aunt Scotty)

Joanna Mills (JoAnna Mills Harrelson)

Joanna  appears in 1920 in Tabor City, NC. Here is a picture of her two children and her in front of their home.

Aunt Evie Moore (b. 1883)

Evie Moore was born in 1883 in North Carolina. She is the daughter of William David and Frances Moore. She is the sister to William Edgar Moore (2nd great grandfather).

In 1900, the Moore family was living in Durham, NC in the "Industry of Durham". William Edgar and Evie were both working in the cotton mill. I have not been able to track any additional records.


India White wrote "Aunt Evie" on back of this photo.

4th Battalion Civil War Record for William David Moore

William David Moore served in the 4th Battalion North Carolina Junior Reserves. At the age of 18, he fought in the First Battle of Fort Fisher on December 24th, 1864.

He received a leg injury from a canon wheel rolling backwards after firing while fighting at Fort Davis in Texas.

December 24, 1864 — Christmas Eve

1:40 a.m.

The Union "powder vessel," USS Louisiana, explodes harmlessly off Fort Fisher.

Dawn

A thick fog shrouds the ocean as the grand Union armada begins moving into battle position off Federal Point.

12:40 p.m.

The Union fleet (64 warships) opens the first bombardment of Fort Fisher. The U.S. Navy's five largest frigates — Susquehannah, Wabash, Colorado, Powhatan, and Minnesota — are on hand for the attack. The USS Colorado alone, with 52 guns, has more armament than all of Fort Fisher (which mounts a mere 47 heavy guns and mortars). The Federal fleet boasts more than 600 cannons.

1:00-4:30 p.m.

Confederate Brig. Gen. William W. Kirkland's Brigade (of Hoke's Division) — having reached Wilmington around midnight on December 23 — reaches the Confederate defensive line at Sugar Loaf, north of Fort Fisher. At Sugar Loaf, Kirkland (arriving with roughly 1,300 men), joins about 1,200 men and boys of the North Carolina Junior and Senior Reserves, a regiment of cavalry, and two batteries of artillery.

Moore House - Raleigh, NC off of Six Forks Rd.

Claude Moore in center with his parents, William David Moore and Frances E Moore. Around the Intersection of Six Forks and Newton Rd.

William Moore moved to this area of House Creek in Wake County before the 1910 Census. Claude Moore was born in 1886 and looks like he is in his late teens or early 20s. I believe this picture is from around 1905.
