"Aunt Sis" Hicks was a widely known and respected midwife. Although
she never had any children of her own, she and her husband, Armstrong,
raised three boys; Davison Bumgarner, Bryan J. Reynolds and Cephas Elnathan
Mowrey for all intents and purposes. All of these "outlaw boys" were either
"kin or the same as kin". Armstrong Hicks was a local character noted for his
peculiarities and wry sense of humor around Spencer. He was "of stalwart
frame, full gray beard, homespun clothes and gum boots regardless the time
of year or weather". He was asked if anything could be hotter in July than the
rubber boots he was wearing one summer day as he sat on the courthouse steps.
Normally prone to pondering such innane questions at great length, he
quickly, laconicly, replied, "Yeh, Bub, my feet!"

James Addison Carpenter
Taken from the Mowrey book, Vol. II: Many Carpenter researchers believe
that James Addison was a son of Old Jeremiah after 1830, and tradition says
that his demise occurred in 1832. All available information indicates that
James Addison was born circa 1834/1835. Logic dictates that he would probably
be the son of John S. Carpenter. He is very likely the James who is missing in
the 1860 Census.
Taken from Mowrey book, Vol. II: James Addison Carpenter married circa 1853
Rosanna Coger (born in June of 1835 and died 20 December 1903, daughter of
Benjamin and Mary (Hosey) Coger and granddaughter of Peter and Mary (McElwain)
Coger and John and Mary (Cool) Hosey- two of the oldest families in Braxton
County.
In the Mowrey book, page 171, Vol. III the following is shown: James
Carpenter, (born 17 May 1835, d: 14 Jan 1914) married Sarah Jane Grady (who was
born 15 September 1837, died 29 July 1918),on 14 March 1853, James was the son
of John S. and Mary Judith (Miller) Carpenter).
This entry does not match earlier records as shown above. It may be that the
confusion as to exactly who or which James Carpenter married Rossana Coger,
or Sarah Grady is shown in the first paragraph of these notes. In the
entering of the Mowrey book I have given precident of that information to the
information contained in the orginal record, however accurate it may be. In
this case I am going to add a marriage for James, even though the marriage
dates are obvisouly incorrect. It will tie the families together for record
keeping, and won't leave Sarah Jane Grady in limbo.

Sarah Jane Grady
In the Mowrey book, page 171, Vol. III the following is shown: James
Carpenter, (born 17 May 1835, d: 14 Jan 1914) married Sarah Jane Grady (who was
born 15 September 1837, died 29 July 1918),on 14 March 1853, James was the son
of John S. and Mary Judith (Miller) Carpenter).
This entry does not match earlier records as shown above. It may be that the
confusion as to exactly who or which James Carpenter married Rossana Coger,
or Sarah Grady is shown in the first paragraph of these notes. In the
entering of the Mowrey book I have given precident of that information to the
information contained in the orginal record, however accurate it may be. In
this case I am going to add a marriage for James, even though the marriage
dates are obviously incorrect. It will tie the families together for record
keeping, and won't leave Sarah Jane Grady in limbo. (per John E. Proctor
12/1999) To complete this issue is the entry in the orginal record of a
Sarah Jane Grady, with the same birth date, who is shown to be married to
Elijah Carpenter. The text from the Mowrey book makes the status of Sarah Jane
suspect. To whom was she married? See text below taken from page 182 of the
Mowrey book. From the information in the Mowrey book I am unable to correctly
determine the marriages of Sarah Jane, or if in fact we are dealing with two
individuals. I rather suspect that the husbands of Sarah Jane are mixed up.
Jerome R.S. Mowrey, who married Malinda Carpenter, eldest daughter of Elijah
and Sarah Jane Grady),
Carpenter, is probably the best known of this family- He
supposedly served in both the Union and Confederate Armies at one time or
another during the Civil War and escaped from Andersonville near the end of the
war. OR ... As a Seventh Day Adventist Minister, he travelled back and forth
between southern Ohio and the Shenandoah Valley preaching the gospel, healing
the sick and afflicted and establishing churches. He once burst into a Baptist
Church service preaching Revelations, was arrested for disturbing a public
meeting and later successfully defended himself by serving as his own attorney
at his subsequent trial. His power of persuasion was so great that the jury
deliberated less than half an hour before returning a unanimous verdict to
acquit him of all charges.
