Who
was Roger Delk: A Brief Biography
|
Roger
Delk (in some records also appears as Dilke, Delke, or Dilk)
married his first wife Sarah in England and they had a daughter,
Elizabeth born April 1622 in Middlesex, London. Roger Delk
arrived from England to Virginia aboard the ship "South
Hampton" in 1624. This was one of Sir
Walter Raleigh's ships used on his last expedition
to South America. It is likely that his wife was to follow
him later, but most likely died before. In any case, shortly
after his arrival in the colony, he married Alice Davenport
who had arrived on the same boat as he did.
Roger was indentured to John Chew and employed in 1624 on
his plantation on Hog Island. He worked out his indenture
by 1626, and in 1628, Francis West, "Governor and Captaine
Generall", granted him 1,000 acres on Lawne`s Creek which
flows into the James River just below Hog Island. The size
of this patent suggests the possibility of some influence
having been exerted in his behalf.
In a court session held at James Citye on May 7th 1627, it
was ruled that Roger Dilk (by his own confession) had absented
himself from his plantation without the knowledge or leave
of his commander contrary to an order of Court for the space
of 8 days complete, and he was fined to pay 25 pounds of tobacco
for every 24 hours he was absent, totaling the sum of 200
pounds of Tobacco.
|
|
Despite
this he rose rapidly in esteem and was chosen to represent "Stanley
Hundred" in the House
of Burgesses, the first legislative assembly in the western
world.
He served during the session that began on Feb. 1st, 1632/33
and may have lived too high above his means at Jamestown (then
called "James Cittie"), while attending the assembly
in 1634 for he was outlawed for debts and a capias [4]
was issued against him.
He appears to have died before 1635 as Alice his wife patented
land in that year on Lawne's Creek in her own name. He had one
son Roger II.
His wife Alice remarried Nicholas Reynolds and had two more
sons. The 1,000 acres on Lawne's Creek, granted to Roger Delk
I. by Gov. Francis Westand then became due Nicholas Reynolds
on 26 Aug. 1637, he having married Alice, the widow of Roger.
Roger II inherited
this land when he came of age. On Aug. 23 1661: Roger Delk
II (and his wife Rebecca) out of love & affection
made a deed to his half-brothers Francis and Robert Rennells,
born of his mother Alice Gregory (she was by then married a
third time to John Gregory) by her (2nd) husband, Nicholas Reynolds
(dec.) of Lawne's Creek," for a tract of land in Surry
County. |

GREETINGS
friends, cousins, and fellow researchers.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and wish you all a safe, happy,
and healthy New Year!
As most of you know I experienced trouble with my computer just shortly
after the release of the last issue (early November). I would like to begin
by thanking everybody who helped me get my eMail Groups lists back together.
At that time I also lost all my correspondences - with the exception of
those that were included in the last issue. Therefore, if you sent information
or had questions please send your queries and info again. Also if you are
not in the correct mailing group, or have been lost altogether (means you
were not informed that this issue was released) then please let me know.
For our new readers:
Correspondences: I ask you to please include your full name, first
and last, on all correspondences. It saves me time when I sort them into
over 120 files (one for each of you). I have received a few eMails with
no name at all and had to go through my eMail address book to identify
the author. Please spare me that.
I hope our readers appreciate the advantages of the HTML vs. the old WORD
.txt format used for this Newsletter. The newsletter is now available
to everyone on-line immediately (no more sending .zip files), it is also
more easy to navigate, includes more visual material, and features an
improved layout.

LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THE FAMILY : "New Cousins":
Here are all the "new cousins" that have been found (or have
found me) via internet this quarter. Included are descendants of Ethelred
Delk. Note: they are not in alphabetical order!
While searching
the net for lost branches I came across the following message posted
to James V. Delk by Sharon Kitchen:
November 10, 2003
Ken Moore Delk needs your attention if you may be related
to him. "Dear
James, I wanted to write you to tell you that, unfortunately,
my brother, Ken Moore Delk, is suffering from the last stage
of renal failure because of Polycystic Kidney Syndrome. (He
was born July 31, 1947). He is on dialysis and has some hope
for a transplant from a younger healthier relative than I am.
If you can get this message out to my Delk-Baker relatives,
I'd really appreciate it. Ken needs our prayers!! Sincerely,
Sharon."
Sharon's address
is rkitchen swbell.net
OR Sharon Kitchen; 2595 Louisiana; Beaumont, Texas 77702-1324.
Her brother's connections to the Delk family are as follows:
Roger, Roger, Joseph,
Joseph, David, Joseph, Jacob Benton, Samuel Gill Delk, William
Leftwich Delk (and w. Elizabeth Vestal), Kenneth Moore Delk
(and w. Annie B. Baker), Frank Baker Delk (and w. Donnie Lucille
Woodard), Ken Moore Delk.
Ken's grandparents,
Kenneth Moore Delk and Annie B. Banker) left Maury and Hickman
Counties in TN in about 1908. He descends from the Delk's
and Baker's who lived in the Kettle Mills and Shady Grove
(Duck River) communities along the county line between Maury
and Hickman Counties of TN. The most likely candidates for
donating one of their two kidneys are people who are related.
Ken and his family would be appreciative to you for your consideration
is you are somewhat related.
|

I contacted cousin Sharon
Kitchen and told her that I could include her appeal for a kidney donor
in the next issue of Delk News, but due to the life and death situation
and the next issue only to appear two months later, I also felt it best
to forward per eMail the appeal directly to the Tennessee Cousins Mail
Group (this group containing donor candidates who are genetically more
closely related to Ken which would decreases the chances that the donated
kidney be rejected by the receiver). See also : POLL RESULTS
- MEDICAL HISTORY for important follow up. So now to introduce the two:

Ken was in the army as
a recruiter for a number of years until he became too sick to work. As a
younger man, Ken was a drummer and played with all kinds of groups. He was
really good!

autobiography:
I have been a teacher most of my life. Teaching is something I enjoy
doing very much. Randy, my husband, was in the Army in the early 1960's
and was stationed in Metz, France. He and several buddies vacationed
in Garmish, Germany. He really liked the trains and would go to the
train station at night and have french onion soup. We live in Beaumont
Texas but Tennessee is more significant to our genealogy research.

correspondence:
I have worked on the
Delk family off and on for 27 years. Mostly I have concentrated on the Scott
and Campbell County, Tennessee area, and the Casey, Pulaski, Russell County,
Kentucky area. I just put a large file of Delks and related lines on Ancestry
World Tree and am still entering info. After I retired, I have finally found
the time to enter all my 27 years worth of paper files and group sheets
into FTM and have started uploading to World Tree project. I was married
to Eastil Ray Cochran on April 4, 1967. He died March 29, 1976. We have
3 children, Elecia Maye, Carmen Loretta, and Thomas Lee Ray. They are now
all married and I have 5 grandchildren and expecting the 6th one in April.
Other than my family and my flower garden, genealogy has for years been
my biggest hobby, or obsession, I am not sure which. I would love to discuss
Delk's with anyone and may be reached at the eMail address above.

correspondence:
I checked out your web
site and I can furnish you info on an entire group of Delk's out of the
rural area of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. My uncle Randolph compiled a "booklet"
with information concerning Delk genealogy. Randolph is now 94 and lives
in Hattiesburg near his sisters Carmen and Nell. There is a "David
Delk" family reunion each year in Hattiesburg that draws 50 or so regulars
and various others who trace back to the David Delk (son of Elisha) CLICK
HERE FOR REUNION DETAILS.
David served with the Tennessee cavalry in the Civil War and settled in
Jones county Mississippi afterwards.
All of my immediate family live in Dallas, TX. We live in the area just
southeast of White Rock Lake, off I-30 before it reaches the Mesquite city
limits. I was formerly employed by AT&T. By profession, I manage large
call centers. My kids are 16 and 15 and attend First Baptist Academy, a
medium size private school associated with First Baptist Church in downtown
Dallas.
Siblings: 1. Howard David, Jr.( b. 1941) died in 1973 as a result
of a cranial aneurysm. 2. Suzon (b. 1950) died 2001 the result of
emphysema and a slip/fall accident. 3. Clara Emily Delk Inglish (see
next cousin) and 4. Bobby live in the greater Dallas area with their
families. (See also the entry of his sister Clara Emily
Delk Inglish below for more of their family's history)

correspondence:
A little background about
the Howard David Delk, Sr. family. My Daddy was born near Hattiesburg, Miss.
in 1916. Mother - Rubydene Estelle Nielsen - was born near Franklinton,
La. in 1920. They met while mother was attending nursing school in Hattiesburg
and were married in June of 1940.
My older brother - Howard David Delk, Jr. (David) was born Dec. 6, 1941.
I came along Feb. 21, 1945. The joke in the family was that David started
WWII and I ended it. Then Robert Elmer (Bobby) was born Aug. 20, 1949, Suzon
Elizabeth was born Dec. 19, 1950. All of us were born in Hattiesburg, Miss
where daddy worked for the US Post Office. He finally got smart and the
family moved to Tyler, Tex. in 1954. Our youngest brother, Edwin Nielsen
(Niel) was born Mar. 23, 1957. If you notice, Niel's initials spell END.
And daddy always said that was definitely the END of the kids. In Tyler,
daddy owned first a Mobile Oil service station and later a Texaco station.
Mother first worked the delivery room at one of the hospitals and later
was an office nurse for one of the OB-GYN doctors there in Tyler.
All of us kids went
to school and graduated high school in Tyler. I met my husband while I
was in Robert E. Lee High School, and we began dating while I was still
a junior. We married shortly after I graduated in 1963. Joe was a year
older than me. Our first son, Robert Joseph (Rob)was born Apr. 25, 1964,
the first grandson on either side of the family. My husband's older sisters
had only had all girls up to that point - 7 granddaughters on the Inglish
side of the family. Our other son, Jeffrey Scott (Scott) was born Oct.
18, 1966. Joe was in the petroleum engineering field, so we moved from
Tyler, to Dallas, to Houston.
In 1973, David suffered
a brain aneurysm and passed away leaving a wife and 2 small children (wife:
Barbara Shoenthal Delk; son: Morgan born Dec. 24, 1971; and daughter,
Ashley born June ?, 1973). Barbara and the kids later moved from Illinois
to Dallas with the rest of the family.
Then in 1976, Daddy
was diagnosed with lung cancer and died right around his birthday in Feb.
1977. Mom remarried later that year and moved to Dallas. Bobby had also
remarried and moved to Dallas. Suzon had hired on with Southwestern Bell
Telephone right out of college, and after a few years in Little Rock,
Ark. relocated to Dallas. Niel finally graduated college and came to Dallas.
That put all my family in Dallas and left only me and mine to make our
way back from Houston which we did when Joe changed companies so he could
be closer to his father. We came back to Dallas - well actually Plano
- from Houston in 1978 for the next 11 years. Our boys graduated Plano
Sr. High in some of the largest senior high school classes in the states.
Rob's graduating class was about 1900+ while Scott's was about 1800 in
size. Rob was active in wrestling and Scott played soccer and football.
That also put us here in the Dallas area when Mom was diagnosed with leukemia
in 1988. She went into remission for about 5 years and passed away in
Dec. of 1993.
Then the company Joe
was working for in Dallas closed it doors in 1989. And we had gotten in
that nasty habit of wanting a roof over our heads and food on the table,
and that required money! So back to Houston. Joe worked for Kellogg Brown
& Root. Of course it has only recently been called that since Halliburton
acquired the company. With the kids out of the house, Joe and I got involved
in many things. I took on a "part time" job organizing tennis
leagues for the USTA Adult Leagues in North Houston which I worked for
11 years along with running several tennis tournaments each year. Joe
and I played mixed doubles, and Joe was active on several men's teams.
Actually while Joe was playing a league match in Feb. of 2003, he had
a heart attack on the court and died before anything could be done. Since
both the boys and both my brothers were in Dallas, it made more sense
for me to move back this way again. Suzon had already passed away in 2001
at the age of 50.
So, here I am starting
a new life. Rob has given me a fantastic daughter-in-law, Liesl and 2
wonderful grandchildren -Madeleine, age 8 and Cade, age 6. Scott - well,
he's still looking for a wife. He lives about a mile up the road, but
he has a granddog for me.
All of us from the
Buford Delk family have a little written history . I know that Uncle Randolph
has a large manuscript on the Delk Family, but has not brought it up to
the Buford Delk generation or beyond. I read that last June. Uncle Randolph
is affected greatly by his age and ill health. He has turned all of the
genealogy work over to a cousin in Georgia or Alabama. I will need to
find out for sure. It may even be on a web site.
I Look forward to more
correspondence from family...
editors note:
Thank you both, Clara and Niel, for such an in depth insight into your
branch of the family's history. I would like to point out to our readers
that this branch of the family also organizes a family reunion. CLICK

I had put my genealogy search aside for about 2 years, then we moved and
now all of it is still packed in the garage. You have given me the incentive
to begin my research once again. I even attended a genealogy meeting tonight!
Lelia Annie Delk was my
grandmother, "mammy" as we lovingly called her. She lived to be
93 years of age and was clear of mind to the end. She could tell stories
of things that happened many years before I was born and I regret that I
did not listen more carefully but I was young and they did not seem important
then. She was married twice. The first time to a man named Gwaltney in Smithfield,
VA. He died and she married my grandfather, John Bunyon Childress. They
lived first in Surry Co., VA and later moved to Newport News--across the
James River--VA. So you see, she never was far from her place of birth.
Newport News was in Warwick County then. She lived there the remainder of
her life in the house I lived in until I married and left to live in CA
with my present husband, Linford Richardson, for the past 42 years! He was
the Chief of Police in Riverside, CA before we retired and moved to WA state.
My grandfather was a Baptist minister who brought two children into the
marriage to my grandmother--my "aunt" Ruth and "uncle"
Jeff. Neither are alive. They had one child, my mother, Alta Herma Childress
White who had five children. One was stillborn, one was "adopted"
by my Aunt Ruth to raise just across the street as my mother was unmarried
at the time. She then married my father, Herman P. White, Sr. and had my
sister, Virginia Anne White Beakey and my brother, Herman P. White, Jr.
He is deceased as well as my mother and father. My name is Nancy Jane White
Richardson.
I
am attaching a photo taken of my grandmother, Lelia Annie Delk, which
was taken before her first marriage (see image right).
I have a daughter who looks very much like her! We go back there on
occasion to visit my "half sister" and on our last visit
made it a point to take photos of gravestones of my deceased relatives.
We even went to Surry where I found some relatives had been buried
and then moved to a different cemetery for some reason. I would like
to pursue this someday as I found it rather odd although I am not
sure how to go about it.
I have looked at your
web site and found it very interesting. I did not realize that so
many Delk's lived in other states. I was surprised that not more
lived in VA. Now that I am again inspired to work on my family history,
I will need lots of guidance. Maybe you or some one other will be
kind enough to help.
Thank you so much,

Autobiography:
Susan Delk was my gg grandmother. I guess that would make Roger Delk I,
my gggggggg (that's eight) grandfather. Both my parents were born in Southeast
Georgia in the 1890's. They moved south to Northeast Florida around 1928/29.
I was the youngest of nine children born to Gilbert and Edna McGauley, on
July 12, 1935. I grew up within forty miles of my birthplace, moving a number
of times during my early years. My father was a minister and school teacher.
I graduated from high school in Palatka, Florida in 1953. I joined the US
Air Force shortly thereafter, and completed 21 years of service and retired
as a Major in 1974. I have an MBA from the University of North Florida,
worked in the business world for a few years, and finally retired as a high
school administrator in 1996. My main hobby in retirement is golf. My wife
and I have four children and eight grandchildren.

correspondence:
Hi, My name is Richard
Allen Delk. I am a descendant of Ethelred Delk. I live in Iowa. My lineage
is through two of Ethelred's children. My grandfather was the son of John
Delk (Ethelred's oldest child.) My grandmother was the daughter of Sarah
(Delk) Maitlen (Ethelred's seventh child.) My grandfather was Elmer Ellsworth
Delk and my grandmother was Martha Luticia Maitlen. They were married in
1892 in or near Dunkirk, Indiana. My father was Charles Wesley Delk, their
2nd child. I am the 7th of nine children born to Charles Wesley Delk and
Bernice (Butler) Delk.
Ethelred and his wife, Nancy, had nine children. I have pictures of 6 of
them. John Delk and Sarah (Kerns) Delk had nine children. I have pictures
of all nine. I also have pictures of some of the Dicksons and some of the
Maitlens.
John Delk's wife was Sarah Kerns. Sarah's parents were John Kerns and Mary
(Summa) Kerns. The Summa family has quite a history. It is on the internet.
Probably looking under Sumi would get you there faster. Both John and Mary
were born in 1783. I have pictures of both of them in their later years.
My son has a web site at www.familyhistoria.com [7].
Some of my pictures are posted on his site. Mark Dickson has also used some
of my pictures on his site.
General James D. Delk is the grandson of my father's cousin. He is descended
from John Delk and Sarah (Kerns) Delk. I have not met him but have met his
late father and his grandfather. I keep in touch with one of his sons. Gen.
Delk was the Commanding General of the California National Guard that was
activated to stop the 1992 LA riots. He has written a book about this experience.
It is titled Fires & Furies - The L. A. Riots.
The article you directed me to about Joseph Worden was written by his daughter,
Meda. She was my father's cousin. I knew Meda. In fact much of my information
comes from material she gave to my sister. I believe Meda had evidence that
Ethelred was the son of Jacob Delk. I can not prove this. I also believe
that Susan Kendall's cousin, Kenneth Finton had this evidence. Again I can
not prove it. Kenneth Finton was descendant from George Washington Delk.
Kenneth Finton's son has his material. He lives in Colorado but has not
shared and probably won't.
According to every source I have, Ethelred Delk was born in 1784 in North
Carolina. According to the 1790 census, Jacob had children under 18. Court
documents from Johnston County, NC show a lot of Ethelreds in the county.
The name was popular. Ethelred showed up in Preble County, Ohio about the
same time Jacob and his son David showed up in Georgia. This was 1808-1809.
Ethelred served in the War of 1812 in Ohio. He married Nancy Byers in 1814.
He was 30 and she was 14. She was also pregnant with John.
Anyhow, I believe that Ethelred was Jacob's son.
I have the family record pages out of John's family bible. Unfortunately
the record for Ethelred, Nancy and beyond was cut out and is missing. Meda
(Worden) Langsdorf had these pages before giving them to my sister.
note: Richard A. Delk has also provided some more information
on Ethelred Delk soldiers see: "Delk Soldiers" below.

More Soldiers descendent of Ethelred Delk
Dick Delk [jddelkmsn.com]
(see new cousins) writes:
There
are several descendents of Ethelred DELK that served in the
military. You had one in the last issue. Here are some more:
You have Solomon Bennet Delk, b. 8-6-1838, d 10-14-1910.
He served in the Civil War. His Father was John Delk eldest
son of Ethelred.
His brother, John Henry Delk, b 3-28-1845, d 10-12-1912,
served in the Spanish American War. The only verification I
have of this is a reference to his return from the Philippines
in 1899 in a book The History of Decatur County, Iowa. John
Henry is the great grandfather of General James D. Delk.
Franklin Elsworth Delk, b 7-14-1893, d 11-22-1967, served
in WWI in France and Germany. He was the son of Elmer Elsworth
Delk, grandson of John Delk, and great grandson of Ethelred
Charles Wesley Delk, b 8-3-1894, d 5-25-1967, served
in WWI in the USA. Most of the time in Camp Pike, Arkansas.
He was Franklin's brother and my father.
Russell Leland Delk, b 8-7-1895, d 2-7-1971, served in
WWI in France. He was Franklin's and Charles` brother. |

IV. FEATURE: Delk Cemeteries part II
As a logical follow up of Delk Religious affiliations (see past
issues) we can now explore cemetery's where Delks are buried. Knowing
our forefathers religious affiliations is often helpful in locating
their final place of rest.
In addition to
names and birth and death dates, genealogists may find marriages
and family relationships on the stones. Epitaphs ranging from sentimental
to humorous were many times included. Of particular interest to
genealogists are also symbolic devices decorating the sites. Indication
of military or fraternal organization symbols, and devices indicating
occupations, are useful clues to information sources about the deceased.
Individuals
written in red have not been identified
as Roger Delk descendants. All others can be found in the searchable
database at
www.doles.org [19].
If anyone knows of any other cemetery with Roger Delk descendants
that is not listed, please let me know. Also any corrections, photos
or additional information about gravesite locations would be greatly
appreciated.
Key to symbols:
* = born (think of the star that the three wise men followed that
marked the birth of Christ)
+ = death,(died on the cross)
~ = baptized

Donald A. Delk is still living. He has worked together with Kawatha
"Kay" Koonce gathering data from cemetery's in Lamar co.
Alabama. I contacted Kay Koonce and informed me that Donald is not
on-line, but forwarded my message to someone else who could pass it
on to him.
In the message I noted that I had a Leon
L.
Delk married to a Conzada Jane
Brewer in my database which did fit the initials L. L. & C. J.
I have since received this reply:
Kawatha"Kay"Koonce
sent us your inquiry about Leon Delk. It should have been
Lenn L. Delk (buried at the New Asbury cemetery and yes
he is the father of the children you named. His father
and mother are buried at Ebenezer cemetery and the father
Matthew Delk has a Confederate tombstone.
His wife's name was Mary Hubbard Delk. My Husband, Maurice
D. is a great-grandson of Matthew.
Hope this will be of some help to you.

The Bible can represents resurrection

JANE
Wife of
JOHN DELK
Born
Aug 14 1814
Died
Aug 29 1887
This detail
is from Jane's
original tombstone and is
very similar to the image
on the obelisk.
|
|
Jane (Hodges) Delk's
original tombstone
|
Propped up
against Jane (nee Hodges) Delk's obelisk is a stone
with her name and the same dates as seen on the obelisk.
This stone is most likely her original tombstone stone.
Her obelisk tombstones was most likely commissioned
and erected around the time of death of her husband
John Delk. The rose and bud motive, her name, her relation
as well as her birth & death dates appear on both
stones.
|
There
is a small stone propped
against her old stone.
Is this the marker of an infant
that the rose & bud alludes to?
If so, she would have been 75 yrs old.
|
|
|
This
view of the Delk gravestones shows that some sinking has occurred
and that both the obelisks as well as the tombstone of Mary
Louise Harrington are leaning slightly and will have to be
eventually restored or will one day fall over.
All three of the tombstones reflect the fashion of that times.
Pylons, columns and most exotic-style monuments are generally
dated between1860 and 1900 |
-
Art History -
The
obelisk has a long history of being used as funeral
decoration. The egyptians were the first to build
monumental obelisks. The greeks and the romans
continued the use and they again became popular
during the neo-classical art and architecture
revivals of the 18th and 19th Centuries. The Obelisk
There
is hardly a cemetery founded in the 1840s and
50s without some form of Egyptian influence
in the public buildings, gates, tomb art, etc.
Napoleon Bonaparte's 1798-99 Egyptian campaigns,
and the discoveries made at the tombs of the
Pharaohs, and the classic revival, led to a
revival of interest in the ancient Egyptian
culture. Obelisks were considered to be tasteful,
with pure uplifting lines, associated with ancient
greatness, patriotic, able to be used in relatively
small spaces, and, perhaps most importantly,
obelisks were less costly than large and elaborate
sculpted monuments. There were many cultural
reasons for the revival styles of the nineteenth
century. Freemasonry, while part of the overall
cultural influence, was not responsible for
the prevalence of obelisks. but John was known
to be a Freemason.

Cleopatra's
Needles

|
| The
first obelisk arrived in the United
States in 1879 and was reerected in
New York's Central Park in January of
1881. The New York Obelisk (left) used
to form a pair with the London Obelisk
(right) Both came from Heliopolis and
had been built by Tuthmosis III around
1470 B.C. |

The
Washington Monument
|
This monument was built between 1848
and 1884 as a memorial to George Washington,
first President of the United States.
Its construction took place in two major
phases, 1848 to 1856, and then 1876
to 1884. The pause in construction work
was due to the Civil War and incurring
lack of funds. |

The
back side of the tombstone is sculpted to represent
natural rock work. The rock represents everlasting

Citizen
Cemetery, Chattanooga, Tennessee
Citizen Cemetery is the oldest Cemetery in Chattanooga. It is
believed that it began to be used before or during 1837. A tract of
land surrounding the original graves was purchased in 1838 from Col.
William Lindsay, an officer of the US Army stationed at Ross’s
Landing during the Cherokee War. The city record reports that the
104 acres west of Georgia Avenue were purchased for $75 an acre. Citizen
Cemetery is located between the eight hundred and nine hundred block
of East 4th and 5th Streets in downtown Chattanooga.

Riggs
Cemetery, Hardeman co. Tennessee
There seems to be some confusion as to whether
this cemetery is in MS or TN.
One source says it is located on Nubbin Ridge Road southwest of Middleton
another source says: about 1/2 mile south of the TN state line, in
Middleton, Tippah co. Mississippi
The land on which this cemetery stands was once known as the DELK
PLACE-owned by Henry Delk, who cared for the cemetery until his demise.
A school also stood nearby. Mr. Harris, an attorney in Bolivar, Tenn.,
now owns the land where this school and cemetery is located. It is
located on Nubbin Ridge Road southwest of Middleton, Tenn. in a now
deserted section off a road once called the Riggs Road. There are
about 35 discernable unmarked graves. source

V. BLACK SHEEP:
Every family has a few "black sheep". Sometimes they
are so shunned from the family that they are no longer even claimed
as kin. This can make researching difficult - sometimes kin of
"Black Sheep" began to spell their surname differently
in an effort to hide their relationship. To qualify for the Black
Sheep section an ancestor must have committed any one of the following
crimes:
Murder
- Kidnapping - Armed
Robbery - Treason - Theft
particularly of any item of fame - Membership
in a famous Gang - Political Assassin
(documented)
- Member of the FBI's Most Wanted
List - Political Expatriate - Extreme
Public Embarrassment - Involvement
in Witchcraft Trials - Bigamy (outside
the Mormon faith, which condoned it at one time)
- Persons expelled from normal society
- Convicted felons (documented)
- Incest (very
difficult for some to talk about) - known
Pirate (note:
this list is similar to the criteria for members of (IBSSG) The
International Black Sheep Society of Genealogists )
1.
Roger DELK / DILKE (the first)
Technically speaking our oldest known ancestor Roger Delk I. was
guilty of at least two counts from the list above:
A. "Extreme Public Embarrassment" and
B. "Persons expelled from normal society"
Roger Delk
I. was chosen to represent "Stanley Hundred" in the
House
of Burgesses, in the session that began on Feb. 1st, 1632/33.
He may have lived too high above his means at Jamestown (then
called "James Cittie"), while attending the assembly
in 1634 for he was outlawed for debts and a capias (definition
below) was issued against him.
capias:
A writ or process commanding the officer to take the body of the
person named in it, that is, to arrest him; -- also called writ
of capias. Note:
One principal kind of capias is a writ by which actions at law
are frequently commenced; another is a writ of execution issued
after judgment to satisfy damages recovered; a capias in criminal
law is the process to take a person charged on an indictment,
when he is not in custody.
If anyone can add any information to this period
of Roger Delk's life just shortly before his death, I am sure
our readers would be interested in finding out more.
2. Randall Delk
RANDALL DELK'S CONVICTION.[27] "Thus in 1807
was held Buncombe's first Superior court, in the spring of that
year. The first trial for a capital offence in Buncombe county
was that of Randall Delk. This trial occurred in 1807 or 1808.
Delk had fled after the commission of the offence to the Indian
nation, but he was followed, brought back, tried, condemned and
hung. This was the first execution in Buncombe county, and took
place just south of Patton avenue opposite to the post office.
source [461]
Though not stated in the source above, my understanding
is that Randall was hanged for murder. Soon after his execution
his father moved his family from North Carolina to Tennessee -
a new beginning made possibly to escape social disgrace. Does
anyone else have details of the murder?
3. John Delk
John was Randall (above) Delk's brother.
John was found guilty at the Circuit Court of Campbell County
of stealing a hog and sent to 1 year confinement in the jail and
Penitentiary House of the State of Tennessee, and died of cholera
before his release. Prison
Records
Though not really "Black Sheep" here are two other
Delks that have had scrapes with the law.

*definition:
Victual \Vict"ual\, To supply with provisions for subsistence;
to provide with food; to store with sustenance; as, to victual
an army; to victual a ship.
One can therefore argue that his crime was one of compassion -
unless it was alcohol that he provided. The record does not say
actually what was provided.

VIII. POLL
RESULTS - MEDICAL HISTORY
After having sent out the plea made by cousin Sharon (Delk)
Kitchen on behalf of her brother Ken, asking for a kidney donation,
I received an answer from cousin Milly Delk Piros saying she could
not donate a kidney because she was born with only one. This made
me curious so I went on-line and did a little research on this
subject.
The condition is supposedly not acute and many people who were
born with only one kidney do not even know it. The kidney of people
who are born with only one, is usually larger than a normal one
and does about 75% more work.
Curious, I then sent out a poll asking if anyone else knew if
they too were born with only one kidney and surprisingly there
were several others. Now I was really curious - I wanted to know
what the national average was of people born with this condition.
Unfortunately here the statistics varied widely. Depending on
whose statistics you believe the results were:
|
International average of individuals born with one kidney
| |
vs. |
Delk result
4/100 |
| |
|
|
| 1
out of 750 people (source [465])
1/750 |
vs. |
Delk
result
4/100 |
| |
|
|
| About
1 in every 1,500 (source [466])
1/1,500 |
vs. |
Delk
result
4/100 |
|
Which
ever statistic you prefer the results of our poll were - even
if you only consider the first statistic 1/100- alarmingly high.
From the 103 individuals questioned 4 were born with one kidney
and another 4 suffered from related urinary
tract anomalies.
POLL RESULTS: Were you born with one kidney?
4/100 Delk individuals born with one kidney:
1. Milly Piros TN- born with just one kidney. [MPiros1120aol.com]
2. Scott Delk - I was born with just one kidney. [hsdelkyahoo.com]
3. Wilma (Crabtree) Gibson TN>IN- I have both kidneys as far
as I know, but I have a g-nephew who has only one. He is 15, and
therefore I will not give his name. It was found when he injured
his back about two years ago playing football. [Wlcrabaol.com]
4. Brenda Trimble TN - My daughter, Taunya R. Trimble, was born
with only one kidney and a septate uterous. I am not sure of the
spelling but I understand that the conditions usually occur together.
We did not discover the birth defects until she was 23 years old,
after a miscarriage. She has been able to have children of her
own, two beautiful boys, but she has to keep abreast of any changes
or infections of her kidney. She has been in the hospital on one
occasion for 5 days with a severe infection. These infections
must be taken seriously because it could be life threatening,
result in kidney failure and use of dialysis. Also, sometimes
the defects are not found until something else goes wrong ...Taunya
had her appendix removed when she was 16 years old but they did
not find the defect until she was 23. I hope this info is helpful.
I asked Taunya if it was all right to give out this info and she
was agreeable. Brenda Trimble [bdtrimble9650hotmail.com]
Individuals with related urinary tract anomalies: The kidney
belongs to the Urinary System and their is also a high
rate of Delk individuals with urinary tract anomalies.
1. Irene (nee Halsted) Anderson TN>AR>OK [iandrsncox.net]
: No, but my youngest daughter was born without a gall bladder.
2. Diane Gavin VA>GA [Dgavin0355wmconnect.com]
: My mother was born with one normal kidney and one small kidney.
3. Judy Delk TN [JCDTNaol.com]
: I had both at birth but the right one is not where it should
be. I also have an urinary tract abnormality. The opening line
is abnormally small.
4. Ken Moore Delk TN>TX- Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is
a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts
in the kidneys. The cysts are filled with fluid. PKD cysts can
slowly replace much of the mass of the kidneys, reducing kidney
function and leading to kidney failure.
Being born
with a single kidney seems to be more common in males, and the
left kidney is the one more often absent. The ureter (the tube
that takes urine from the kidney to the bladder) on the affected
side is usually abnormal or absent. An abnormality of the reproductive
tract may also be seen on the same side. The latter occurs more
often in females than in males.
Sharon
(Delk) Kitchen has contributed a bit more information on the condition
of her brother:
Polycystic
Kidney Disease (PKD)
I know the topic is sad, but I think the information
is important. There is a great deal of information published
on this hereditary disease in the last 30 years or so,
but until then very little was known about it. Apparently
it is one of the most common hereditary conditions at
least in the United States. Every child born of a person
who carries the gene has a 50% chance of developing
the condition. People who carry this gene seem to become
ill in their 40's or 50's. Normally, I would not be
addressing this sad topic--except my brother is currently
ill, and I foresee serious problems with health insurance
for others if people are unaware that they could be
ineligible for heath insurance if they mistakenly indicate
that they might have the disease. (A simple sonogram
will usually indicate if a person has the condition.)
For example, even though my brother is ill, I did not
inherit the gene; therefore my children and grandchildren
do not have it. My point is to provide information that
can help us help ourselves. There is treatment and there
is hope for everyone. God bless us all.

Conclusion:
From the 102 individuals questioned 4 were born with only one
kidney and 4 others had urinary
tract anomalies . The condition appears to be hereditary but
is most prevalent in Delk descendants from the Tennessee lines.
There is no need to panic. There are no special precautions needed
for child bearing, and special diets are generally not required
for those with a single healthy kidney. A low fat, high fibre
diet and drinking at least two liters of fluid a day are recommended
for everyone as part of a normal healthy diet. If you have only
one healthy kidney, it is not necessary to have special visits
to the doctor. If you have a new doctor, notify them that you
have a single kidney to ensure they are aware of your circumstances.
Like most of us, people with a single kidney should have a check-up
once a year, including a blood pressure test and urine analysis.
Fact
Sheet: Living with one kidney
Individuals
should be aware of the risk of injury with certain heavy contact
sports that involve direct blows to the kidney (ex. kick boxing,
karate). In deciding whether to participate in such sports, the
consequences of losing a single kidney should be considered carefully.
One may wish to consult with a doctor before participating to
help evaluate the risks.

SPAM - What you can do to prevent it
Have you ever wondered
where the spammers got your eMail address? One easy way to find
out is to go to any search machine (best to use a large one like
Google or Yahoo) and type in your eMail address. If a search machine
can find your address so can any crawler.
Many people post their eMail addresses on message boards and
chat rooms with out thinking that these platforms are also vulnerable
(even preferred) areas where crawler look for addresses to spam.
If you must post an address then disguise it so that a person
can tell it is an address but a crawler can not. You can do this
in a number of ways. Example instead of using the "@"
symbol use (A). Or instead of "." write out the word
(dot) like this www(dot)com. A person reading this will
realize what is meant but a crawler can not. Although their have
been a few programmers who have started to create crawlers that
recognize (a) as @, most crawlers are not so advanced.
If you receive a Spam message that says "click here to
be removed from this mail list" BEWARE! This is a trick.
You can imagine that crawlers find lots of invalid addresses while
combing the world wide web. It sends spam to these addressed as
well. Once you reply to "remove here" the receiver knows
he has a valid address. These "live" addresses are often
sold on to other spamers. The best thing to do is not to reply
at all.
Conclusion: Find out if your eMail is posted somewhere
on the net. If it is try to get it removed. If you must
post your address on the web then disguise it. If you get spam
never answer it, especially not the "to be removed
from this list click here"

X. HUMOR -
You know what happened this week back in 1850?
California became a state.
Back then, the state had no electricity. No money. Almost everyone
spoke Spanish.
There were gun fights in the middle of the streets.
So it was just like California today only back then the women
had real boobs.

...................................
More Grave Humor..
taken from the Fentress Co. TN Mailing list
These are for real....
Many years ago in a local newspaper there was a elderly woman
who was buried with a Bible under her head and a pistol in her
hand! That was her personal wish.

Concerning some inaccuracies of various sources, including obituaries.
Well, I have found two humorous errors on obituaries just this
evening:
| "She
is survived by six sins - " (Then it lists her sons).
and
"He is survived by 2 1/2 brothers . . . " (Wonder
if the 1/2 brother was without legs, or was he just a "half-wit"? |
My Bob was
a very well known fisherman. He had won many Bass & Walleye
Tournaments up north. For the big spray that is always on the
coffin, I had the florist add ugly rubber fish. All his fishing
buddies loved it. I know Bob would have had a really big laugh.
He was buried in his fishing attire not the usual suit. He only
wore his suits at weddings and funerals. There were so many people
that they were lined up on the sidewalk and they had to park two
blocks away. By the way he is buried with his favorite rod, reel
and lure and is buried near a lake. <G> On the tombstone
is a picture of a boat, a bass fisherman with a bass on his line
jumping out of the water.

When my husband was still living I teased him about being late
for his own funeral. Well when he died the funeral home printed
up the little cards and had his death date March 16, 1997. He
died May 16, 1997. According to the cards he was 2 months late.....
Milly WARD Piros [MPiros1120aol.com]
Well,
I have heard some interesting stories from ministers. But will
only relate this one. A friend was at the head of the open grave
in a graveside service. Just as he was reading "Dust to dust...."
the earth gave way, and he slid into the grave up to his shoulders!
Apparently, he was standing too close to the open grave.
Willie R Beaty [wbeatytwlakes.net]
Some years ago, while we lived in Florida, we were considering
buying grave plots. One of the options was to buy an "over-and-under"
service, where the first to go was buried, and the last to go
would be buried on top of the first. I told my wife ( I love her
to death!) that if we did that, she would have to die first, because
on Resurrection morning, I was not about to wait for her to get
ready!

Comments
As always I ask for help. I would appreciate anyone
contributing an article, an autobiography, family stories, family
recipes, photos or information of family heirlooms, homestead
or grave sites pertaining to our family's history.
If you know of a cousin that is not on the mailing list, let me
know. Share your wisdom with the family.
If anyone can offer photos or scans that would be great. Maybe
together we can create a big On-Line Delk Photo Album.
Let me know what interests you!
