Edna's Parents - George Vineyard and Hannah Hart

 GEORGE VINEYARD JR. (1793-1860)

and

HANNAH HART VINEYARD (1802-1882)

At 17 years old, Edna married Ira Quillin on 18 Oct 1849; therefore, she was no longer living at home. This census was taken on15 July 1860.  George and Hannah Vineyard are listed on lines 34-41. George was farming and his son, John, was most certainly helping him. Hannah was keeping house and her oldest daughter, Polly, was probably helping with 4 younger children. These children are listed by name. 

 Edna and Ira are living very near to them. Other Vineyards are also living nearby.

Ira's father and mother, John and Rebecca (Lawson) Quillin are found on the next few pages, as well as Ira's brother, Thomas and his wife.

1860

George Vineyard passed away in March 1860. The 1860 census was taken on 16 August 1860. Hannah was a widow and had 3 children living with her. Hannah and her oldest daughter, Polly, were weavers. They lived next door to son John and his wife Elizabeth, who was also a weaver.

Meeting at George Vineyard's House

GEORGE VINEYARD, JR. (1793-1860)

After establishing my connection to Edna Vineyard, I began finding much information about her Vineyard Family. Below is a wonderful article about a meeting that took place in her father's home. Edna would have still been living at home. Opening the link to the blog is well worth the visit. Sheila has done an amazing job posting information for this and many other families in the Scott County VA community. In the comments on most pages, I was able to see the many familiar names of other genealogists that I have either been in contact with or have followed their websites. This further substantiates that I'm on the right track! Though the picture isn't very clear, nor was it on her website, I will give the information that she gave about the meeting at my g-g-great-grandfather's house. 

1846 Muster Roll for 124th Va Infantry Commanded by Hezekiah P. Neal (scottcountyva.info)

Sheila had been contacted by a dealer of historical documents. He had in his possession the original copy of the 1846 Muster Roll, see picture above.  There are 70 names on the muster roll. (Many are names that over the years have been placed on my family tree.) It is entitled "A list of the commissioned and staff officers, belonging to the 124th Regiment Commanded by Hezekiah P. Neal, at Estillville on the 14, 15, & 16th days of April, 1847 and the Regimental Muster at the residence of George Vineyard on the 17th day of April, 1847.

I will not list the 70 names, nor expound on the notes of the meeting, but suffice it to say that there are familiar names. Please check out this blog to reference this meeting which was held at my g-g-grandfather's home.

George Vineyard, Jr. would have been about 54 years old at the time of this meeting. He lived in a volatile time between the Revolution and the Civil War. He was committed to the various situations facing the nation at the time because both his father and his grandfather fought in the Revolutionary War.

 Learning to Accept Responsibility

Growing up during the 1950s and 1960s, had its advantages. Life was much different before all the social media issues. We grew up in the "here and now". We were not influenced by much else accept family values and Christian principles. Under those auspices, we were held accountable for our actions. 

Our projects were our own with no parental involvement, just guidance and supervision. We were shown love and grace within boundaries. We participated in activities that built character: Camp Fire Girls where service to others was emphasized, attending church camp and singing in the church choir and learning handbells, taking piano lessons that created a discipline like I had never experienced. I was left to my own devices. There were no 'helicopter moms' intervening on behalf of every detail in a child's life.  We were dropped off at places to go and do as we pleased, but we were expected to behave appropriately. In a small town, word got around if we didn’t behave. We were expected to complete our homework in a timely fashion and keep our grades up, following the teacher’s instructions and paying the consequences of not doing so. There were no “soccer moms” screaming like banshees on the sidelines. Parents seldom went to games because dads were at work and moms were at home for the children. Only the winning team got a trophy and maybe second and third place got ribbons. Last place losers accepted their loss and went home with ambitions of being better next year. Just because you lost, didn’t make you a loser — it made you a good sport and you didn’t need a trophy for that. Teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. We learned to deal with the disappointment. That, too, is part of life. It taught us to be responsible for ourselves and to learn how to increase our skills and thought processes. This led to a philosophy of being independent and working hard for what you want.
