Man saves forefathers' home from neglect

By Jodie Munro O'Brien

Aug. 17, 2003 4:38 p.m.

CLYDE - It was like a ghost house when Joseph Shook Hall first entered the more than 200-year-old structure of his forefathers.

"It was completely furnished, and there were pots on the stove, but the house had been vacant and unattended for 20 years," he said. "The house was being demolished by neglect."

The house has stood empty since the early 1980s, and has been waiting for a buyer since 1993.

In February, Hall, a retired educator and school administrator living in Washington D.C., purchased the historic three-story Shook-Smathers House and four-acre property on the corner of Morgan Street and Carolina Avenue in Clyde.

His plans to turn the house into a regional museum are underway. Renovations are expected to cost at least $300,000, with the work being completed next summer.

Built circa 1795, the Shook-Smathers house is said to be one of the oldest frame houses still standing in Western North Carolina. The house takes its name from Jacob Shook, a Pennsylvania farmer who moved to WNC after getting a 1,500- acre land grant for his service in the Revolutionary War. He forged nails and cut boards a foot wide to build the house at a time when most homes were simple log cabins.

The house is also associated with the development of the Methodist Church in this area. The third floor contained a chapel where the family worshipped. That room remains intact to today.

The first Methodist Bishop consecrated in America, Bishop Francis Asbury, is said to have visited the Shooks on a number of occasions, and organized the first Methodist church in Haywood County in 1810. Locals believe Asbury even preached from the Shooks' third-floor chapel at least once, although that particular belief has yet to be factually confirmed by historians.

Shook was born in 1749 and lived to be almost 100. After his death, a man by the name of William Welch owned the house, and then transferred it by deed to Levi Smathers in 1850. Smathers left it to his daughter who passed it on to her daughter, Ruth Jones.

Hall is a great-great-great-grandson of Shook and first saw the house when he was 6 years old.

Last summer, while reading a magazine published by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Hall saw the house advertised for sale.

"I understand the importance of its history in North Carolina, as well as my family connection," he said. "The fabric of the house itself is very historic. In the 1800s, it would have been one of the only houses with wooden walls and floors and a wooden ceiling," he said.

Had it been left another year, Hall said he does not think the house could have been rescued. He purchased it for $84,500 from Preservation North Carolina, which had purchased it from Jones and the other two owners 10 minutes earlier.

Barbara Wishy, director of the Endangered Properties program at Preservation North Carolina based in Raleigh, said the Shook-Smathers house is an important link to Methodist history in the area as well as the architecture of the house.

"The house was built in several stages, and represents the early architectural practices, and early types of family living," she said. "The appearance today is more of a Victorian era, but those additions were added in the 1890s."

"I am ecstatic. The house has so much history and family history," said Brenda Hudgins, a third-generation Shook descendant. "I can see my grandfather plowing those fields and I can see him building the nails to build the house, and building the house - there are no words to describe it."

Hall is trying to have the house placed on the National Register.

"If someone doesn't preserve history, the future generations won't know where they came from," he said. "We have to save our heritage, or we won't have any left."

Notes for JOHN KILLIAN:

Source: DAR, Abstract of Graves of Rev. War. Patriots.

John Killian, son of the pioneer Andrew (Andreas) Killian, was born about the

year of 1725-26, and was about 7 years old when the family came t America. He

recieved a grant for a 1000-acre tract of land on Killian's Creek April 13,

1749. It is reasonable to believe that the entire Killian family was living

on this creek some time before the took out grants, since the Creek was called

"Killian's Creek" in their entries.

John, with his father, moved east of the Catawba River in 1754. We know

nothing more of him until June 26, 1766, whrn he bought of Mathias Beaver and

wife, Susanna, of Mecklenburg County 200-acres on both sides of Clark's Creek,

in Rowan County, adjoiniung Bostian Cline, above his father Andrew's (Andreas)

tract of 293-acres. This land of John Killian's in the Bollonger land on both

sides of Clark's Creek, below and above the Bollinger Ford or Bridge, on the

road leading form St Paul's Church towards Hickory.

In just what year John Killian was married we do not know. He married the

widow Mrs Elizabeth Vollbrecht (Fullbright) Zimmerman Carpenter, who had one

child -- Mickael Zimmerman -- by her first husband.

John and Elizabeth had four sons and four daughters. John made his will

about 1795, willing all his property to his wife Ellizabeth. She made a will

March 1 1802, and mentions -- besides her son Michael Zimmerman -- the

following children: a son-in-law David Smith, Jacob, Marellis (Murrillo), who

married Jacob A Yount, John Jr, Philip, Mary Suttlemyre, Abraham, Sarha --

Married Jocab Deitz.

Nothing is known about Michael Zimmerman (Carpenter) except that he and his

half-brother, Philip Killian, had some real estate transaction in 1798.

****In doing reseach on Daniel Killian born 1790 in NC., I have become

interested in all Killian's that are of the time frame from when Andreas came

to NC. to when this Daniel died in Alabama in 1876. I have done quite a bit of

research in NC. looking for Daniel's parents, as of yet, no luck. I have made

the following observation about John Killian during this research. According

to Lincoln County land records, John Killian bought 200 acres of land on

Clark's Creek adjacent to John Killian from Thomas Winkler in 1784. I believe

this to be two different John Killian's, not father and son. If it had been

only one John, the record would have read John Killian bought 200 acres

adjacent to his own land and if between father and son it would have read John

Sr. and John Jr. In the 1790 3rd Company census of Lincoln County, we find

Samuel Killian followed by John Killian, John Killian Sr., and Jacob Killian.

This might lead one to believe that the John Killian between John Sr. and

Samuel to be John Jr., but I believe he is the John who bought the 200 acres

from Thomas Winkler and is living next to John Sr. John Sr. is listed to show

two John Killians, one older than the other. If he had been John Sr's son then

he would have been listed as John Jr. Taking a closer look at the John Sr.

household, we find 4 males over 16 and one under 16 with 3 females. The 4

males over 16 are John Sr. and sons John Jr., Phillip, and Abraham. The male

under 16 is John Jonas Jr. son of John Sr.'s daughter, Mary. The 3 females are

John Sr's wife Elizabeth Zimmerman, and daughters Mary and Sarah. Not in his

home are son Jacob and daughter Marellis. They have families of their own.

There is another John Killian listed in the 1790 census. He could be John

Killen born 1740-49 (1840 census) The 1820 census of Lincoln County shows John

Killen,Peter Killen, and John Killion in order on page 400. This John Killian

(Killen) in the 1790 census was listed by the 5th company along with John and

Simon Jonas, William Whittenburg and Michael Keller, all in the Lyles Creek

area.Another John Killian was listed in the 1790 3rd company census of Lincoln

County, with 3 males over 16, 1 under 16 and 2 females. Could it be that the

John Killian household was counted twice by two different people ? The 1790

census lists 3 consecutive names: Kline,Michael, Killian, Jno., Cline, Jacob.

The same writer would not likely have spelled the two Cline names differently.

One writers list must have ended with Michael and the other began with John

Killian (m3,1 f2). I believe the John Killian who was listed between John Sr.

and Samuel Killian to be John the soldier who went to Warren Co. Tn. and then

to Orange County,Indiana. He states in his application for his Revolutionary

War Pension that he was born in Lincoln Co. NC, June 1768. If he was John Jr.,

then this would make him older than Jacob. In Elizabeth Zimmerman Killian's

will of 1802, she lists her children starting with the ones by her first

husband and then with the oldest to the youngest by John Sr. Since Jacob is

listed as the first of her children by John Sr., then this John Killian who

went to Orange Co. Indiana is not her child. This John Killian I believe

married Susannah Frye whose father is Nicholas Frye and mother is Elizabeth

Papst. I do not think he ever married Christena Snyder. That was a different

John Killian. He was born in Tn. about 1816. The John Killian who married

Susannah Frye is the son of Leonard Killian. I am baseing this on that of the

Killian's who were in the 1820 census of Warren Co., Tn., only John Killian

went to Indiana. This is where Leonard's children and grandchildren can be

found. I know that there will be some who will not agree with this, but that's

ok. He wanted to be close to his brothers who moved there. Some of the

Killian's found in Warren and Grundy Co. Tn. are children of Samuel Killian.

They probably moved there when John did. He was Samuel's neighbor in the 1790

census of Lincoln County.****From 3099

Hawthorne Place Southside, Alabama>

Now I will quote from writings of Cletus Hugo Killian, written in 1953 and

found in Paragraph CK #33 of George W Killian's book.

Quote: ....In the early 1740's there is an exodus of a number of Lancaster

County families; some of whom are the Hagers, Forneys, Bolicks, Bollingers,

Widners, and others; to NC under the leadership of Henry Widner. Andreas and

at least two of his sons (Leonard and John) accompany this caravan. These

three Killians are in NC as early as 1747 for both Leonard and John Killian

are in the armed forces of NC in anticipation of trouble with Spain. The

Killians obtain land grants of about 5,000 acres on the south side of the

Catawba River. This is an immense amount of land for only three men who, to

say the least, are only moderately endowed with the goods of this world. One

accordingly concludes that Andreas Killian has decided to go into the real

estate business and perhaps duplicate the exodus effected by Widner. The NC

records are able to account for the presence of Leonard and John Killian in

this locality; and also Andrew Jr. for part of the next, approximately 15

years. Andreas himself does not seem to be in NC, on the contrary he is found

in the Neighborhood of St. Paul's Lutheran Church at Red Hill. It seems that

at a later date this church was known as New Goshenoppen. This incidentally,

is the one and only time that I have been able to place Andreas inside a

church for his youngest child Maria is baptized there 18 Jul 1764. [note by

GWK 17 May 1999 - I have checked back to the original papers any my 1764 year

is a typo it should be 1752 as stated in the e-mail] From the foregoing it

seems safe to infer that Andreas has been trying to persuade Pennsylvanians to

go to NC. From subsequent events one infers that success in this venture has

been only moderate; or perhaps not too good..... At any rate the locations in

Lancaster County at one time occupied by Henry and Andreas (Earl and Cocalico)

are now in the hands of Matheus, John and Michael Killian and Andreas takes

the rest of his family to NC where all of them flourish mightily -

particularly in begetting progeny.....End Quote of writing of C H Killian.

[The following is an abstract as the original was difficult to read as it appears in the record from my father’s family bible]

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA

COUNTY OF HAYWOOD

On this 2 day of January 18__ [1833? Illegible] personally appeared in open court before the Justices thereof Jacob Fulbright a resident of the County of Haywood and State of North Carolina aged 85 on the second day of December 18__ [1832? Ink blot].

[He] doth make the following declaration:

I entered the service of the United States in the year of 1776, but it might have been 1775 or 1777 as I have lost my recollection [1776 is correct] in the month of August and came home in the month of October, making __ a three month tour. I was drafted.

I was living in Lincoln Co., N.C. and marched against the Cherokee Indians through what was called the [French and Pigeon ___ Tennessee River Countries ? which is the French Broad, Pigeon and Little Tennessee River Countries] and on what is now called Buncom [Buncombe], Haywood and Madison Counties, N.C. and or what is yet the Cherokee Nation [in 1833 the Cherokee had not been removed] and the water of the Highwassy [Hiwassee] _______ in no engagements of moment. We burnt and destroyed the ___ [towns?] and the crops. I was discharged by Capt. Conrad but it [the document] is lost or destroyed. [Capt. Conrad was also the commander of Jacob Shook in the Rutherford Expedition of 1776]

I entered into the service again in the year of 1780 or 1781 [1780 is correct], living in Lincoln Co., N.C. Col. McDaniell was made general after I had enlisted and entered into the service. The officers thought proper. As I was a blacksmith by trade, to take me out of the army and put me to work in the blacksmith shop to shewing and repairing the shoes the horses that was in the service and I remained there __ years working basely [?] for all the __ that was passing about. The work was all of publick __ [service?] and after it I had to board the men and horses for several days at a time while they were getting their work done and I never got anything for the work or boarding. I remained there working at the close of the war and I never got a discharge. I have no documentary evidence and I know of no body by whom I can prove my service by without I can ___ [?] by Jacob Shook who lives in Haywood Co., N.C., and I don’t know whether he is acquainted with the pekculiars of my service.

I was born in the year of 1747 in the month of December the 22 day in the State of Pennsylvania in the County of Northampton and moved from there to Lincoln County., N.C. [Rowan then] in 1769 and lived there until after the war was over, and moved from there to Haywood Co. N.C. and have lived there ever since.

Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?

My age was recorded in my father's family bible and I have preserved it in other books,

Where were you living when called into service. Where have you lived since the revolutionary war and where do you now live?

In Lincoln Co., N.C I have lived there until I moved to Haywood Co., N.C. where I have lived ever since.

How were you called into the service. Were you drafted, did you Volunteer or were you a substitute and if a substitute for whom?

I was a drafter the first tour. The second tour I was enlisted.

We, Jacob Shook, residing in the County of Haywood, and Andrew Shook residing in the same, do hereby __ that we are well acquainted with Jacob Fulbriqht who has subscribed and sworn to the above dictation that we believe him to be 85 years of age, that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood where he resides to have been a soldier of the Revolutionary War and that we concur in that opinion.

Witness my hand and seal this 25th March 1853 [This date is as written. However, it looks like the last number was added, rather than written at. the. same time as the first three. Perhaps he meant to write 1835, left out the numeral 3, and added it in the wrong place?]
