Thompson_Cemetery__1.jpg711 viewsDescription: Ann Combs, Beam a descendant of the Thompson family of Surry County, North Carolina came down from Alexandria, Virginia in October of 2003. She and her husband came by to see me for a few minutes and then went by Devotion. The gatekeeper of the Reynolds estate allowed them to go inside to the Thompson cemetery.
Directions from the gate to the Thompson Homestead and Graveyard site:Get Permission at the gatehouse
Go through gate for 3 10ths miles on right, inside fence. Mitchell's River and the creek flow on either side.
Buried here are Martha Thompson wife of Hiram Higgins. (Hiram was killed in the Civil War and Martha was murdered by John Jack Mayes and burned in her house ) The cemetery is being kept in very good condition. Courtesy of Nanalee Wrenn nwrenn37@yadtel.net

sturgillsjpg.jpg709 viewsThis picture had the inscription "taken from behind Aunt Callie's house" on it. It's the view of the Sturgill's community facing the road to Lansing (Rt. 194?) and was taken in about 1930, I'd guess. My recollection of recent visits is that the view hasn't changed all that much. Callie Pennington was married to I.R. Kilby (second marriages for both). I believe their son Glenn inherited this property and his son Terry continues to live there. Photo courtesy of Emily Kilby
