Devil’s Bridge – Einsiedeln, Canton Schwyz

Devil's Bridge - Canton Schwyz, Switzerland

The world our early Swiss Hiestand lived in was filled with legends of witchcraft and devilish interactions with humans. Located a few miles from where our Hiestand ancestors lived was a bridge that they surely would have known about–the Devil’s Bridge. Our June 2023 Hiestand-Haston tour group visited this bridge. Here’s the story of this old bridge, supposedly built by the Devil himself.

A Hidden Yankee Sword Found on a Confederate Haston Farm

The Mystery of the Civil War Yankee Officer's Sword

I wish there was more I could say about this sword, but pretty much all that is known in the Haston family is that at some point after the Civil War, a Federal officer’s story was found in a hollow tree on the farm where Confederate soldier, Montgomery G. Haston, lived during and shortly after the Civil War.

The sword has been kept in the family, but the stories of who found it, when it was found, specifically where on the farm it was found, and how it got there have been lost over time. However, I will offer one theory:

Perhaps M.G. Haston Took It Home as a Souvenir

Just a Theory, Not a Proven Fact

Montgomery Greenville (M.G.) Haston was a grandson of Daniel Haston, through an illegitimate birth by Polly Haston, daughter of David Haston. He became a prominent citizen and civic leader in Van Buren County, TN. On June 4, 1861, twenty-seven days before Tennessee was admitted to the Confederacy, M.G. was appointed to be Captain of the Home Guard for his district of Van Buren County. According to the following 1862, a Confederate camp (probably a training ground) was established on the M.G. Haston farm.

In April 1863, M.G. resigned his office of Justice of Peace for his 4th District, as well as his position as Tax Collector for Van Buren County. He joined Company C of the 35th Regiment of Tennessee’s Confederate Infantry, as a private, on June 16, 1863. Later that month, he was fighting in the strategic Tullahoma (TN) Campaign, only about 60 miles SW of his home.

In the spring of 1863, M.G. Haston and other citizens of surrounding counties knew they were facing the possibility of a Federal Army occupation. And they knew what occupation by enemy troops would mean. Pro-southern guerilla fighters–some of whom were nothing more than thieves, robbers, and murderers–were dangerous enough. But a massive occupation by Federal troops would be devastating to farms and their families.

The only thing preventing that occupation was the Army of Tennessee under the leadership of General Braxton Bragg. But Bragg’s army had fought to a draw in Murfreesboro’s Battle of Stone’s River and retreated to take a stand at Tullahoma. Bragg, and all of western Middle Tennessee, were facing the realities of (1) a win at Tullahoma and a forced retreat of the Union Army, or (2) a surrender of south-central Tennessee to a swarming army of enemy soldiers.

After a few days of positioning and fighting in miserable rain, General Bragg chose to retreat to Chattanooga. Much to the disappointment of many of his troops, especially those recruited from southcentral Tennessee, Bragg left businesses, farms, and families (especially pro-Southern families) wholly unprotected.

Immediately, many of the Confederate volunteers from that local area began to desert, to go home to protect their wives, children, and property. The defensive mode became personal to many of them, the dike had burst and the flood of enemy raiders was at hand.

M.G. Haston remained with Bragg and the Army of Tennessee in the retreat to “Tanner’s Station” (Tyner), east of Chattanooga. He reported for the July 17, 1863 muster there. But deserted on July 31.

If you study the life of M.G. Haston, you will know he was not a coward. He, no doubt, deserted because he knew the “dam had burst” at Tullahoma and his home area was now flooded with Federal soldiers. His farm, his wife, and his children, most of whom were very young, were vulnerable to abuse by swarms of Yankee soldiers, some/many of whom had no qualms about raiding, robbing, raping, and destroying–especially anything or anyone belonging to a Confederate soldier. And M.G.’s farm and family were no doubt high priority targets. And M.G.’s farm was sitting in a major crossroad that would have been heavily traversed by Yankee predators, as well as unscrupulous Rebel guerrillas.

So, perhaps M.G. took possession of the sword somewhere in his battle experiences and brought the sword home with him. If so, maybe he hid it in a hollow tree, knowing that if he had been discovered with it (during or even after the war) he would have been hanged or shot. He died a few years after the war (December 20, 1869). Maybe the hiding place of the sword was unknown to anyone else, thus it remained hidden for years following his death.

Other Possible Theories

Perhaps a Federal officer stuck his sword in the hollow tree and forgot it? Not likely. Perhaps someone other than M.G. Haston hid the sword in the tree and forgot it? Maybe, but it’s doubtful. Perhaps someone stole the sword from a Federal officer and hit it in the tree so the officer couldn’t find it? Again, not likely. Any other ideas – Leave a Reply (below).

Your Ancestors Wanted to Be Remembered

Your Ancestors Wanted to Be Remembered

"Will I be remembered?"

Our daughter, Carissa, passed away on March 22, 2023. She had suffered for 29-nine years with a paralyzed digestive tract, a medical condition known as gastroparesis. She was a remarkable girl-young lady-45-year-old woman in the way she fought through pain and multiple surgeries, including a five-organ transplant–stomach, small bowel, liver, pancreas, and duodenum–in order to live a normal-as-possible life and leave a positive impact on the many lives she touched.

Carissa was a very committed Christian. As a young girl she put her faith in Jesus Christ to be her Savior. In spite of many challenges in life, she lived for Jesus. After her transplant, she committed her life to Jesus more deeply than ever. She was well aware of her mortality and was determined to live her life to the fullest for God’s glory.

Carissa was very bold with her faith. Her physical conditions limited her social interactions somewhat, but wherever she went she had friends and strangers she met immediately were attracted to her friendly smile and quickly learned to admire her. But she never shied away from letting them know she was a Christian, a believer in and follower of Jesus Christ.

What We Learned Soon After Carissa Passed

On the night after Carissa’s Celebration of Life service in her hometown of New Cumberland, PA, her mother, sisters, and one very special friend (who had been an aide to Carissa for several years) went to Carissa’s apartment to begin the process of sorting out her personal belongings. Her friend discovered a little notebook that none of us had ever known about. It contained several pages of thoughts that she had jotted down about her life. In one section she made a list of fears. One of those fears really made me think. And I believe it’s a fear that almost every person has when he/she thinks about death. “Will I be remembered?” That’s why some people give millions of dollars to have a building or other public structure named for them.

I hope that, from heaven, Carissa was able to look in on the two Celebrations of Life that were held for her, one in PA and the other in TN, at a church near where she was buried. The crowds were large and many spoke about her impact on their lives. “Yes, Carissa you were and will be remembered for many years to come!”

"Will I be Remembered" - A Common Human Fear

I fear being forgotten too. Death is a weird thing, and I know sometimes it may seem selfish that all I am most worried about is being forgotten. Someone close to me passed a couple years ago and on most days I feel anger and resentment to all those who have forgotten her.

Anonymous Statement from an Online Site

Fear of being forgotten is common. Some people fear it to an extreme–an irrational and debilitating phobia known as athazagoraphobia. But the common fear of being forgotten is something almost everyone experiences. I certainly don’t want to be forgotten, do you?

Your Ancestors Also Feared Being Forgotten

I can’t say that I feel anger and resentment when a deceased friend or loved one is forgotten, but I DO feel sad and disappointed. I love it when someone shares a pleasant memory about my father and mother–or Carissa. Don’t you hope fond memories about you will be shared after you pass–even into future generations. Don’t you hope someone will care enough about you to keep your memory alive?

I must say it disappoints me when I hear that people have forgotten their grandparents, great-grandparents, and earlier ancestors. These are people who made it possible for you to have a life. And doubtless, they feared that they would be forgotten.

Genealogy and family history are all about preserving memories of those who preceded us, even in spite of their flaws in some cases. That’s what the Daniel Haston Family Association is committed to do–keep our family heritage and history alive for this and future generations to celebrate.

And there are Biblical reasons why we should honor our ancestors by keeping their memories alive. But that’s a topic for another article.

William Lester Haston, Sr. – Part 2

William Lester Haston, Sr. - Victim of WWI Poison Gas Warfare

Part 2 - Post-War Death

The Story of a WWI (Haston) Veteran Who Ultimately Gave His Life for Our Country

We were told he was gassed while in the military and it damaged his heart. He had some hogs get lost during a big snowstorm and went looking for them. His heart was too bad to walk so far but he got lost in the snowstorm. A search party went looking for him. When they found him he was dead. He was 31 years old. Mary (his wife) was 7 months pregnant with his 2nd son at the time.

Margie Haston Roberts-Johnson (Granddaughter of Lester Haston, Sr.)

1820 - Lester Was Back at Home in His Father's Home

Grandpa's property (and where he grew up on his father's farm) was what was once owned by Sam Gamble and is located across the road from [what was] the James Robert Haston (Bluebird Lane) place. My brother said they had a lot of land.

1821 - August 22 Marriage to Mary Miller

The "Killer Snowstorm" - December 4, 1923

We were told he was gassed while in the military and it damaged his heart. He had some hogs get lost during a big snowstorm and went looking for them. His heart was too bad to walk so far but he got lost in the snowstorm. A search party went looking for him. When they found him he was dead. He was 31 years old. Mary (his wife) was 7 months pregnant with his 2nd son at the time.

Margie Haston Roberts-Johnson (Granddaughter of Lester Haston, Sr.)

Intersection of the Spencer-Herbert Domain and Sparta-Pikeville Roads

The Herbert Domain was located in the Lonewood Community of Van Buren County, TN where the Taft Youth Center (formerly, the so-called State Farm) now is. It was such a prominent estate that the portion of Route 30 that goes from Spencer to Pikeville was known locally as the Herbert Domain Road. The Sparta-Pikeville Road is Highway 285, known informally as the Cane Creek Road. So, Lester Haston was found at or near the intersection of Route 30 and Route 285, very near what we know as the M.G. Haston (Century Farm) farm.

Daddy told my brother he was found about a mile from where he and grandma lived. There was another man with him. Grandpa was dead but the other man was not though he was frozen. The ones that found him [the other man] carried him to the cabin (called the Felton place) and placed him in a tub of water by the fireplace to warm his body. They had used all their matches trying to start a fire but the storm was so bad it wouldn't start up. They were trying to find their way back to the cabin.

Margie Haston Roberts-Johnson (Granddaughter of Lester Haston, Sr.)

I was unable to locate a death record for William Lester Haston. While Tennessee started keeping death records in 1908, it was not unusual to not have a death record during these early years, especially in rural areas. It is viewed that it was not until the mid-1930s that Tennessee was in compliance with its own law. As an example, for the year 1930, 30,000 death certificates were filed in Tennessee. Estimates are there were an additional 3,000 people who died that year that should have received a death certificate but did not. If the person died at home, the funeral home may have taken the body directly to the funeral home rather than to the hospital since the individual was already deceased. It’s possible that since no doctor was involved, no death certificate was issued.

Part 2 – The Kin Maynard Murder Trial

Part 2 - The Kin Maynard Murder Trial

After his initial arrest and preliminary hearing in Van Buren County, Kin Maynard escaped and fled to Texas, where he lived for more than a year before being arrested again.

Kin Maynard Was Arrested in Texas

Kin Maynard Was Returned to Sparta and Charged with Murder

What is habeas corpus in simple terms? The “Great Writ” of habeas corpus is a fundamental right in the Constitution that protects against unlawful and indefinite imprisonment. Translated from Latin it means “show me the body.” Habeas corpus has historically been an important instrument to safeguard individual freedom against arbitrary executive power.

Circuit Court Judge Disposed of the Kin Maynard Case in Sparta

The State of Tennessee vs. Kin Maynard, April 1901 - October 1902

Notes Related to the Above Court Record

One – Judge M.D. Smallman

Judge Small presided this session of the State vs. Kin Maynard murder case. Another judge took over the case the next year.

Two – Haston vs. Haston

D.L. Haston and I.S. Haston were brothers of Kin Maynard’s mother, Berthina, and thus, Kin’s uncles. They put up bond money for their nephew in the “murder of Woody Haston” case.

Three – Erb Lewis

In early August of 1898, Erb Lewis was tried and bound over to court for ambushing Newell Troglen with a shotgun on Cane Creek in Van Buren County, TN. (Nashville Banner, August 9, 1898, page 7)

Four – Sophia Mitchell

Sophia Mitchell was called to give a deposition in the case. She would have been 16 years old at the time of the killing of Woody Haston and lived very near where Woody and his family lived.

Kin Maynard's "Not Guilty" Plea & Jury Selection

Note: This was the first day that Judge Joseph C. Higgins presided over a Van Buren County, TN court session. He was only 30 years old at the time. The State vs. Kin Maynard murder case was the first murder case Judge Higgins actually presided over (to a verdict) in Van Buren County and probably one of the first murder cases he had ever dealt with as a judge.

Prosecutorial Evidence Supporting Kin Maynard's Murder Charge

And Perhaps More That We Are Not Aware Of

Kin and Woody had been arguing before they left the event at the school.
Apparently, Kin Maynard was the only person with Woody Haston, when Woody was killed.
Kin confessed to the two Mitchell boys that he killed Woody.
Kin fled from the area in the morning following the killing.
Kin fled to Texas after his preliminary hearing at the Cummingsville Church. He lived in Texas for more than a year before he was located and returned to Tennessee for a trial.

Now, YOU Be the Jury

Judge Joseph C. Higgins - Circuit Court Judge for Kin Maynard Murder Trial

Judge Higgins was a 30-year-old “rookie” judge, with only about a half-year of experience on the bench, when he held trial for the State of Tennessee vs. Kendrick (Kin) Maynard murder case. Did his lack of experience influence the outcome of the trial? Or not? We’ll probably never know.

The October 1902 Circuit Court session held in Spencer (Van Buren County), Tennessee was the first session of that court in which Judge Joseph C. Higgins presided. That’s the session in which Kin Maynard was declared “not guilty” by the jury. (Page 269 of Van Buren County, TN Circuit Court, Tuesday morning, October 28, 1902)

Mr. Higgins was raised on a farm with only the opportunities of a “three months district school.” The greater part of his education was acquired by home study, without the aid of a tutor. A age seventeen, he mapped out a course of study, including Latin, German, English, and mathematics which he diligently pursued for four years.

He was never known to resort to sharp practices, nor to have given countenance to a questionable act. By his studious habits and untiring application, he stood among the leaders of his bar.

Mr. Higgins enjoyed the distinction of being the youngest judge ever elected in this state of Tennessee, as he attained his thirtieth year on the 13th day of May 1902.

He was the son of Judge George W. Higgins, a valiant captain in the Confederate army, and the nephew of George W. Stone, chief justice of the supreme court of Alabama.

One hundred representatives of Lincoln County (TN), from every vocation and profession, stood by “Little Joe” in the Tullahoma Convention.

Ground Penetrating Radar Project – Big Fork Historic Cemetery, Inc.

February 2023 Ground Penetrating Radar Project

One of the first major efforts in a renewed and enhanced plan to restore and preserve the historic Big Fork Cemetery was a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) mapping project (February 2023) to determine how many burials occurred in the cemetery and where those burials are located. In 1936, approximately 118 graves were thought to be in the cemetery. Between 1936 and 1965, some additional burials were conducted there but probably not nearly enough to make up the gap between 118 and the 179 discovered there prior to the 2023 GPR mapping. So, even in 1936 some of the older graves must have been undiscoverable by the WPA (Works Progress Administration) researchers. Thanks to ground penetrating radar, we now know the remains of at least 389 people are interred in the Big Fork Cemetery.

The 1936 cemetery researchers reported that the oldest grave was marked 1853. While that may have been true of graves with marked dates, we now know that the oldest burial in the cemetery probably occurred there prior to 1810, given what we know about the 1807 origin of the Big Fork Baptist Church with which the cemetery was identified.

The February 2023 GPR Project

The Big Fork Historic Cemetery Corporation employed GPR expert, Len Strozier, President of Omega Mapping Services, to locate previously unknown burials in the cemetery and map the site. At the time Len mapped the Big Fork Cemetery in February 2023, he had already evaluated 900,000 burial spaces of which more than 175,000 unmarked burials were discovered, marked, and mapped.

Summary of the GPR Findings

210 formerly unmarked and unknown graves discovered by GPR
Approximately 90 of these are graves of children below about age 10
40+ corpses buried in caskets and one in a vault; all others buried in shrouds such as quilts or blankets, etc.
Previously known graves = 176 + GPR located graves = 210 = Total of about 386 burials in the 0.9-acre historic cemetery
More than half of the 386 graves in Big Fork Cemetery have no markings of any kind and were discovered by ground penetrating radar

Some Common Questions Answered

In the following video (14:31 minutes), Len Strozier explains:

How Ground Penetrating Radar works.
How he can determine if the person buried in a grave was a child or an adult?
How he can determine what the person was buried in – wooden casket, metal casket, or a shroud (blanket, sheet, etc.)?
In what direction graves are arranged in Bible-influenced cultures? And why?

Big Fork Historic Cemetery – Incorporation

Incorporation of the Big Fork Historic Cemetery

Along a dead-end road in northern Van Buren County, an area of White County until the 1840 formation of Van Buren County, lies Big Fork Cemetery, a historic burying ground that is out of sight and mostly out of mind, even to people who live near it. Among the other trees in the mostly wooded cemetery are several holly trees, traditionally planted in old graveyards. The spiny holly leaves historically represented the crown of thorns placed on the head of Jesus and the deep-red berries symbolized the drops of blood He shed for our salvation.

The name “Big Fork” likely originated from the nearby junction of Cane Creek with the upper Caney Fork River. The cemetery was so named because of its connection to the Big Fork (Primitive) Baptist Church, which was founded there in 1808 or earlier. The site of the old log church is known, but nothing remains of the building. Doubtless, the Big Fork Cemetery is one of the oldest church cemeteries within the early limits of White County. And the church was probably the first Baptist church in the county.

A recent (February 2023) ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey revealed that there are 389 burials at the old graveyard, most unmarked, with some being outside the 0.9-acre fenced area. Previous attempts to determine the number of graves produced varied results, with the highest prior count being 236 graves. Of the unmarked graves found by GPR, approximately 90 are graves of children below about age of 10; forty-plus corpses were interred in caskets, one in a vault, and the remainder buried in shrouds, such as quilts or blankets.

Numerous tent graves are still intact in the cemetery, but many of the graves are crudely marked, at best. More than half (210 of 389) burials have no markings at all and were only discovered through ground penetrating radar. The remains of ancestors of such families as the Cummings, Mitchells, Hastons, Stipes, Shockleys, Whitleys, Reedys, Huddlestons, Wilsons, Denneys, Moores, and Madewells are known or suspected to be resting in these graves. But we can assume that several other unknown local families are also represented within the graveyard.

Some of White County’s earliest pioneers, such as Daniel Haston and some of his southern White County peers, are buried there. But for the most part, the identities of the deceased are unknown. For many years cattle and wild animals roamed destructively through the property. And erosion has wiped out identifying markings on the primitive gravestones.

In order to preserve this historic cemetery for all descendants of the original pioneers and other early families interred in this old burial ground, on October 12, 2022, the Big Fork Historic Cemetery, Inc. was formed as a 501(c)(7) tax-exempt non-profit organization. At that time, an EIN (Employer Identification Number) was assigned and IRS tax exemption became effective. As a “historic cemetery,” it is closed as an active burial site. The last known burial (Liddie Shockley) took place there in 1965, more than 50 years ago.

The cemetery corporation is currently under the leadership of Terry “Max” Haston, retired Major General and former Adjutant General of Tennessee, as well as a slate of additional board members.

In addition to regular maintenance of the cemetery, The Big Fork Historic Cemetery Corporation plans to make numerous improvements to the property. Earlier this year, acreage surrounding the cemetery was purchased to create a driveway to the cemetery and potentially around it, as well as adequate parking space. The property will soon be completely enclosed with a fence, gated on Double Bridges Road in the Cummingsville Community of Van Buren County. Various other enhancements, such as a facility for group gatherings, will be considered for future development.

Descendants of any of the cemetery’s represented families, as well as others who are interested in the preservation of White or Van Buren County history, are urged to join these efforts. Tax-exempt donations can be made by contacting Jean Ann Haston Hall at 776 East McMurry Boulevard, Hartsville, Tennessee 37074, or (615) 633-6225, or BigForkHistoricCemetery@gmail.com.

Carissa Renee Haston – Her Story of Suffering and Faith

The Life of Carissa Haston - Her Joys, Sufferings, & Faith

Carissa Renee Haston, age 45, of New Cumberland, PA passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, surrounded by her Mom and Dad, two sisters, Faith and Celeste, and Faith’s husband, Ben. She was born on October 28, 1977, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to Wayne and Sharon (McCoy) Haston. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Boyd and Mary Ruth Haston and Ralph and Katherine McCoy.

In addition to her parents, she is survived by her sisters, Faith Barrett (Ben) of Manheim, PA, and Celeste Martzall (John) of Mableton, GA; nieces and nephews, Kyrie, Davis, Katrina, Truett, Nolan, Ezri, and Ember; many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who loved her dearly.

Carissa's Joys

Carissa was always a very active fun-loving girl. She loved this old three-wheeler. Look at those tires!

Her big sister Faith loved Carissa from the time she was born until she breathed her last breath. Boots, our German Shepherd loved her too. I sure hope our pets will be in heaven with us! Boots was a remarkable–very intelligent and loving dog. The photo on the right is of Carissa at age 5. Isn’t she cute?!

Because she became ill as a mid-teen, Carissa never married and did not enjoy the blessing of motherhood, but her cabbage patch doll was very special to her. Later, she became “Mommy” to a sequence of guinea pigs. Here she is in the third grade with her first little furry pet. I (Dad) will never forget how heart broken she was when this little piggy passed away. But she soon cheered up when she very quickly found another guinea pig to love on. Unfortunately, our dear Carissa can never be replaced here on earth. But we will see her sweet smiles again.

Little girls grow up to be big girls. Although our family moved to Pennsylvania as Carissa was going into her senior year of high school, her previous school–Grace Academy–in Chattanooga made it possible for her to graduate with her senior class in 1996.

Carissa enrolled in Messiah University (Grantham, PA) in the fall of 1996 as an art major. By that time, she was on nutritional support through a J-tube into her small intestine and was carrying a feeding pump, but she finished college in four years and graduated with her Class of 2000.

Here we are (Mom, Celeste, Carissa, Faith, Davis, Kyrie, and Dad) at Carissa’s college senior art show. She poured many hours into her show–a display of artwork she created to highlight health struggles and physical limitations of young people that she admired for their perseverance in spite of their physical limitations.

A year after her graduation from college, she was the recipient of Messiah University’s Young Alumnus of the Year Award, for her work founding a non-profit organization, Gastroparesis Patients Association for Cures and Treatments (G-PACT).

Carissa loved stuffed animals and had dozens of them.

She met Mike and Darla Johnson while working as a volunteer in the Kid’s Ministry Department of LCBC (Lives Changed By Christ) Church. She was one of the 200 or so seed members sent out by the main campus in Mannheim, PA to start the Harrisburg, PA campus. That was the first campus extension of LCBC. Now there are more than a dozen other campuses. She helped pioneer the extension of LCBC Mannheim, PA through multiple campuses.

Carissa put in a lot of time helping the group prepare for its Harrisburg campus opening, as well as special events early in the ministry of LCBC Harrisburg. She enjoyed the ministry of LCBC as long as she was able to drive across the city to attend there.

She was a funny girl. She got in a tugging war with this local cow, but I think the cow eventually won.

Here she is with Mom, Dad, and her nephew Nolan when he was just a tot. Her friends hosted this special G-PACT Day for her.

Carissa loved being outside on pretty days. Her friend and caregiver, Wendy, would take her to the local parks so she could get some exercise and enjoy God’s creation.

Carissa was an excellent writer and often shared her stories of suffering and medical experiences through writing. Some of her articles were published in medical magazines. She also was invited to medical conferences to share her experiences as well as medical insights. She enjoyed meeting Joni Eareckson Tada.

Carissa loved her lapis blue Jeep. She called him “Blue Lightening.” She enjoyed having the top down on the Jeep and driving the backroads near our home and along Yellow Breeches Creek while blasting Christian songs and music by Enya.

See! I told you she was a fun-loving girl. She charted her own course in life, sometimes causing Mom and Dad to roll their eyes occasionally, but we were just happy to see her happy. But within her bounds of enjoying life, she kept her focus on Jesus Christ, her Lord and Savior. More about that coming up.

Sufferings

Prior to her junior year of high school, she began to experience a loss of appetite which was highly unusual for her. Digestive problems then began to affect her. Eventually, her Mom found a physician who was able to diagnose her problem. It was determined that her stomach was paralyzed, a condition known as gastroparesis. The root cause was never determined, but her condition continued to worsen. In 1996, she was patient number eight in an experimental stomach pacemaker study with the hopes of stimulating her stomach to function more appropriately, however, it failed to produce desired results. Not long after that, she experienced a couple of “out-of-body experiences” in which she may have temporarily died. In between those two experiences, she passed out while opening the garage door and quit breathing for several minutes. Her breathing did not begin again until after the paramedics arrived, but remarkably the experience left no permanent damage.

For many years, Carissa survived through feedings administered either intravenously or directly into the small intestine by a jejunostomy tube (J-tube) and a feeding pump. But when that became an inadequate solution, only one option remained. Carissa learned that the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center had developed a fairly new stomach transplant surgery and so she pursued it.

Here Carissa is with Dad and Mom in a pre-transplant orientation. We were told then that she would be tethered to the transplant department of Montefiore Hospital (part of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center) for the rest of her life. Little did we know how true that was. It was there that Carissa passed away. Many of the doctors and nurses knew her well, after treating her for nearly 20 years. She was special to all of them.

While Carissa and Mom were living in Pittsburg, waiting for organs, they met Karis Kornfield and her mother, Debbi. Carissa and Karis were about the same age and were both committed followers of Jesus. Karis had already gone through one multiple organ transplant that had failed. Carissa and Karis became close friends. Unfortunately, Karis passed away several years before Carissa.

Sharon and Carissa waited in Pittsburgh for about 15 months before suitable organs became available from a nine-year-old boy.

Here she is a few months or so prior to her transplant. From her usual 110 pounds, she was down to 62 pounds. Her liver was beginning to fail and she was turning yellowish-green. The above photo was published in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. One of the reporters of that newspaper, who had medical problems himself, took an interest in Carissa and published a couple of stories about her. He was planning to publish a post-transplant story, but he died before creating and publishing the third story.

She needed five organs: stomach, liver, pancreas, small intestines, and duodenum. All five of those organs came from the same donor. But we were never allowed to know the name of the donor.

Compare this pre-transplant photo (above) with the two post-transplant photos below. Hopefully, it will convince you to become an organ donor. That little boy’s life gave Carissa seventeen more years of life. Donate Life

But, post-transplant life had its ups and downs. She was rushed to a hospital many times over the past 17 years, with numerous extended hospital stays and countless (to us) nights in the Emergency Department of Hershey Medical Center. But by God’s grace, she enjoyed many days, weeks, and even months of relatively normal life. And God used her greatly to help other gastroparesis patients, as well as to be a bold witness for Jesus.

Carissa's Faith and Eternal Hope

Carissa grew up in a Christian home. Dad was a seminary professor and pastor. Mom was a Christian school teacher. She attended church, Sunday school, children’s church, Christian school, and earned awards in the church’s AWANA program for memorizing Scripture, etc. Very early in her life she put her trust is Jesus to be her Savior. Due to some social struggles in junior high and high school and the demise of her health, her spiritual zeal waned.

When she recovered from the transplant, she said, “Dad, I want to sort of restart my Christian walk with Jesus.” Will you take me through The Story of Hope, a book that I (Dad) wrote which has been translated into 40+ languages.. We did those studies and from that point on, Carissa was solidly rooted in her faith in God and God’s Son, Jesus.

After studying The Story of Hope, Carissa said The Story of Hope helped her to clearly understand the overall story of the Bible better even than all of those years in Sunday school, Christian school, and all of the other Bible learning experiences she had participated in throughout her life.

Carissa knew that her earthly life would not extend to a typical lifespan. So, she was always thinking about how she could help her friends know the same eternal hope that gave her peace as she faced the possibility of death and eternity every moment of her life.

She insisted that I (Dad) make you aware of this Bible study book. It was one of her strongest requests. That’s why it appears here.

Be sure to get this 2016 (64 pages) edition.

The following comments came to me this morning (3/26/2023) from a cousin-friend who knows by experience, what she says. At age 3 she was killed by a family member–she was physically abused to the point her back was broken.

She died and went to a blissful place, which she still vividly remembers (as a mother and grandmother) as is described below. She remembers looking down and seeing her broken body lying on the floor. But what she saw and experienced in the place where she was is too wonderful for her ever to forget!

She had never been to church and did not know about Jesus or heaven, but she was lovingly received by a man she later learned must have been Jesus. She was so excited and happy that she wanted to stay with him in this blissful place, but the man (Jesus) told her he wanted her to return to where she came from because he had a purpose for her there.

Her older sister had been riding a church bus to a local church for some time, long enough to know about Jesus and heaven.

When my little cousin told her story to the big sister, the sister told her about Jesus and heaven. The Biblical facts perfectly fit what my little cousin had experienced, even though she had never heard those Biblical truths before.

Later in life, she forgave this family member who was responsible for her death. So, she desires to keep the story anonymous so as not to reflect badly on the way she was treated by this person.

I just saw on Facebook that Carissa has gone home. Wayne, I am so very sorry. My heart is with you and Sharon.
May it help to know that right now she is held in the loving arms of Jesus, healthy and joyful. She can soar with the wings of eagles, and run and not grow weary. She will never again feel so much as a twinge of pain. There is nothing to hold her back from enjoying abundant life.

This I know from experience: Carissa is in a place where the very air/existence/atmosphere around her is love. She is being cradled in a feeling of warmth that conveys a message that she is treasured and loved beyond measure. It feels like you are held in this love wherever you go there. You know that you are home – where you have always belonged.

Praying the Lord will help you, Sharon, and your family through this difficult time. God Bless you all.

I am thankful that I was inflicted with gastroparesis. Otherwise, I probably would not have known the Lord the way I do now.

1829 White County, TN Tax List - Cane Creek & Caney Fork Area

Not Available

Not Available, Esquire (J.P.)

Occupant		Acreage	Situation
For some unknown reason, the tax list for the “south of the Caney Fork” – Cane Creek area does not appear in the 1829 tax book (although lists for other areas of White County do appear in the book). Apparently, it was misplaced or stolen some time prior to the microfilming of these records.

Beginning of Civil (Non-Militia) Districts

The 1836 Dividing of White County, TN into Districts

In 1834, a convention was held to change the constitution of Tennessee in order to bring about many reforms. One of these reforms brought about the dividing of counties into districts rather than the smaller units of companies of militia. In 1836, White County was partitioned into districts as directed by the Legislature. The Commissioners of the county met and determined the boundaries of the fifteen districts formed (major portions of Districts #7, #11, #12, #14, and #15 subsequently fell in other counties formed out of White County). Following is a printing of the manuscript defining the district #15 boundary.

**Andrew K. Parkers District No. 15**
Commensing at Rosses ferry on the south side of the Caneyfork thence up said river to the mouth of the Calfkiller thence up said Calfkiller to the ford below Simeon R. Doyles Mills thence eastwardly with said road passing John S. Dentons including him thence eastwardly a direct line to the mouth of the lane between William Lewis Sr. and John Feltons thence a direct line passing between Jacob Anderson and John Scoggin thence to Porter ford on the Caneyfork thence a direct line Eastwardly to the top of Cumberland mountain including John Yates thence Southwardly with the top of said mountain to Kieths old trace thence eastwardly to the county line thence south westwardly with the county line to Jesse Davises east of the Archcave thence north west to an old road leading from said cave to the beginning. Election to be held ad Andrew K. Parkers.

Haston Big Spring – alias Swamp Spring

How BIG is the Haston Big Spring Branch

When the Hastons moved (late 1803 or early 1804) to what became White County, TN in 1806, Daniel Haston located his cabin on a hill above the emergence (springhead) of what was then called “the Big Spring Branch.” It soon became known as the “Haston Big Spring.” After Daniel Haston died, the spring’s name became “David Haston’s Big Spring.”

Sometime later, apparently, the State of Tennessee officially gave it the name “Swamp Spring” or “Big Swamp Spring.” In recent years the spring has been part of a major U.S. Geological Survey. Here’s an overview of what is now known about what I still call the “Haston Big Spring.”

(N. 35.80243°, W. 85.44439°)

Excerpts below from U.S. Geological Survey Karst Interest Group Proceedings, October 19-20, 2021

At its low water level, the discharge of water is approximately 3,591 gallons per minute.

At its high water level, the discharge of water is approximately 112,208 gallons per minute.

That’s a very BIG Spring!

A dye injection was conducted and it took ten days for the main stream in the Rumbling Falls Cave to reach Swamp Spring. But, during higher flows this travel time would likely be much less.

Hydrology Vocabulary

A area is a place where water is able to seep into the ground and refill an aquifer because no confining layer is present.
Resurgence is the point at which an underground stream reaches the surface and becomes a surface stream.
Karst is a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves.
Sump is a pit or reservoir serving as a drain or receptacle for liquids
The cubic foot per second (symbol: ft3/s)is the unit of volumetric flow rate equal to that of a cubic foot moving each second.

As a Ph.D. student at the University of Tennessee, I was required to take a collection of courses on how to conduct credible professional-quality research, including an outstanding class on “historiography“–researching and writing history. One thing you learn quickly in those kinds of classes is that “I heard it through the family grapevine” just won’t cut it! It may be an interesting “story” that’s worth sharing, but the events in the story “ain’t history” (‘scuse my vernacular in this case) if you don’t support it with valid documentation. And, yes, I said VALID documentation–documentation that provides the kind of support that proves the actuality of the story.

Three brothers came in here (White County, Tennessee) and they were from Holland.

My Dear Mother

For example, my dear godly and honest-as-the-day-is-long (as we say in Tennessee) mother always told me that my Haston ancestors came from Holland. Several times she told me about my father’s ancestors, by saying, “three brothers came in here from Holland.” That was an interesting story but it wasn’t history. Even if it had been true and all of that really happened, I had no way of knowing of knowing if it was historically accurate until many years later I began digging for the documentation. Bottom line: We have to find actual proof of the historicity of a story before we can claim it is history.

So, just because your beloved parent or aunt and uncle or grandparents told you a story about your family’s history doesn’t mean it’s true. And that doesn’t mean they were dishonest people. It simply means they were probably passing along what they heard, without knowing if it was true or not.

When I began researching and writing our Haston history, I quickly discovered that much of the passed-down Haston “history” is family folklore. And I love folklore stories; there’s nothing wrong with sharing them. But it is important that we share them as “stories” and not as “history” unless we can verify them with credible evidence. So, often I will qualify a story with a preface such as this, “John Doe said….” That’s a signal to alert the reader to know that it’s only a story until proven to be historically accurate.

As I’ve said many times, I was deeply disappointed to learn (by digging down to the documents and evaluating the credibility of the documents) that the “story” about our Daniel Haston being a Revolutionary War veteran was only a story, not a historical fact. I’ve laid all of that out in articles on this site, as well as in three chapters of The Story of the Daniel Haston Family. By the way, the book contains mostly history that is documented, but it also includes stories–some are known to just be (or may be) stories but they are presented as such.

Here's What Credible Family Historians and Genealogists Say

Without adequate documentation, [even] a well-researched family history or tree looks like fiction.

Thomas W. Jones

The value of your family history research relies in large part on the thoroughness and clarity of your documentation.

National Genealogical Society

Documentation is the most important task that genealogists undertake. Without documentation, genealogical research results are nearly meaningless.

Standards for Genealogical Documentation

Family stories embellished and retold across the generations are particularly susceptible to elaboration as well as deception. Critical family history requires scrutiny of the lived events uncovered—some of which may be in sharp contrast to family myths passed down through generations.

Luanna Meyer

If genealogists, whether hobbyist or professional, do not apply rigorous standards to our research then our genealogy turns into (at best) fun stories, regardless of whether they are true.

Legacy Tree Genealogists

When I talk with those unfamiliar with genealogical research, they are often surprised by all that goes into what we do as professional genealogists. Rather than simply “looking up” family trees online, our work is characterized by the thorough, detailed, and careful examination of historical documents in relation to a specific research problem.
