Has anyone read this historical fiction book or know about the court case? Free in Chains by Mary B. Kegley, author, attorney, and researcher "Based on a true story filed in court papers, Free in Chains tells the unimaginable story of an Indian slave, Rachel Findlay.

8. Fw: Family Traditions [1]
I vaguely remember reading about an early tradition in the UK, don't remember which country, about dabbing a "spot of cream" on a person's nose on the birthday. Don't know when, where I read it or anything else about it. I love early english history & read everything I can on it, when I have the time away from genealogy. It sounds like the Irish though - they have such a sense of fun & frivolity. Diane in TX ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Tu

I am looking for any information about my great grandfather and great grandmother who lived in Bluefield, WV. He died in bluefield and is buried in a cemetery on top of a hill just outside town. I do not know where the ceme. is. My grandfather who was born in Bluefield returned several years ago, but was unable to locate the grave. I am sure there are cousins and such that still live in that area but I have not been able to locate any of them or anyone who might be of help. Jasper James was his name and Eli

My mother was born in Berwind WVA and my Father was born in Bluefield. Every birthday my mother would somehow surprise us and put butter on our noses! She is 91 and still tries to do it!

13. Traditions [1]
I just went to the archives and read other entries regarding nose buttering/ traditions. I read one where ,on Christmas , someone yealled Christmas Gift early in the morning. When I was little , my grandfather, who lived his whole life in Princeton , would get up at 6am , and go through the bedrooms and shout "Christmas Gift! Christmas Gift!" until we all were awake. Then he would go back to bed. I am sure it was something he had done as a child. Have enjoyed this discussion. Carol Shaw families in the M

I Mercer Kids, I had forgotten about the buttered nose. I was youngest so i always was buttered faced on Christmas which was my brithday. Thank you all for the memorery. I'm 75 now and that was along time ago. I think it was an area thing rather then family. I am a mixed breed with German, Irish, Franch, English, and 2 or 3 other bits in me. We also had a traditionat Christmas time for about before Christmas of being the first each day to "get' CHRISTMAS GIFT on everyone. We would yell it when we woke up,
17. Nose Buttering. [1]
Nose buttering on a birthday is a very popular tradition in my family! It has set us apart from other families. Friends and extended family are very flattered when we include them in this tradition. I was born and raised in Princeton. We have always wondered where the tradition came from. My parents could not remember when it started or from which family it started. (My mother was raised in Bluefield - {name Smith }Her family came from Big Stone Gap, Va. - My father's family {name Bruce} came to the Prin

I was also born in Mercer County, Princeton. My parents were born in Princeton and Tazewell County, Va. We have always celebrated birthdays by buttering the nose. I now pass it on to my son who thinks it is silly. I am going to ask my parents where they got the idea from. It's a small world Sharon in Michigan

One more tradition! I asked my Mother who is 91 about the nose buttering tradition. She said "yes" butter your nose and roll you under the bed! I asked her what it all meant but she didn't know.

I am involved in a project to see if family lines can be traced to family traditions handed down thru generations in specific areas in this country. I was born and raised in Mercer Co., WV, as were both my parents with their parents coming from Floyd Co., VA, and Giles Co., VA. We had a custom we observed on any family member's birthday.
