Serrett, Samuel F. 1st E-Mail: Date: 12 Apr 2004 4:18:11 PM Pacific Daylight Time My greatgrandfather was Samuel Serrett who I think was born in Arnett,Va(wv) and later lived in Augusta and Rockbridge Co. Va. He was married to Serena (Rena) Hanger Serrett. My grandmother was Bessie Bell Serrett Batman. Bessie had one brother, Charles Eliza, five sisters,Ola Virginia, Sally, Nellie E.,Margaret M.,Hattie May and S. Samuel and Serena raised one of their grandsons,Jacob(Jake) child of Bessie Bell's before marriage. Samuel and Surrenah (as it is spelled on the tombstone) are buried at St. John's Luthern-German Reformed Church Cemetery near Middlebrook, [Augusta Co.] Va. The present church is a United Church of Christ. Although the birth date of Samuel is different on the tombstone than the information from arnett West Virginia and the middle initial is also different on the tombstone I believe they are the same person . They also raised a son of their daughter Sally---all I know is that his name was Russell Serrett---I have not been able to find any information about him. I would appreciate any information you have on this family!!!!!! Thanks [email protected] Sandra, Thanks for the E-Mail. See: William H.H. SARRETT SFA-Profile! or his See: Son Samuel F. SARRETT/SERRETT SFA-Profile!We would like any additions/corrections to this Family. prs... 2nd E-Mail: 15 Apr 2004 9:06:43 PM Pacific Daylight Time The Samuel Serrett that was my great grandfather lived in Rockbridge and Augusta County Virginia. I believe he was born to William and Lucy Ann Wills Sarrett in Arnett,Va.(wv) in 1858 although his tombstone says 1851. Samuel Serrett is buried along side his wife Serena spelled--Surrenah-- on the tombstone in Middlebrook, [Augusta Co., ] Va. They both died in 1936. Their son Charles Eliza is buried close by--he was born February 23,1893 and died November 4,1904 of diptheria. I have never heard of a Edward Serratt who they have listed from the Sarratt/Sarrett/Surratt Families of America. Samuel and Serena were married September 30,1877 and their first child, Ola Virginia was born November24, 1879 she married Walter Alexander Hall October 27,1905. Samuel and Serena's second child was my grandmother Bessie Bell Serrett who was born April 23,1883 and died April 12,1958. She married Boyd Commore Batman on September 28, 1909. They are buried at Mt. View Mennonite Church Cemetery,Lyndhurst,Va. Samuel and Serena raised Jake Preston Serrett who was Bessie Bell Serrett's son, before marriage. Samuel's third child was Sally Serrett who was born in 1884 in Augusta Co. Va. Ihave always been told that she never married although she had a child- Russell Serrett who lived with Samuel and Serena until he was 19 years old. Sally lived in New York. The fourth child was Nellie E. Serrett who was born December 8, 1889 and died December 28,1970. She married Walter Wilbert Sensabaugh June 10,1913. Charles Eliza Serrett was the fifth child, mentioned above. The sixth child was Margaret M.Serrett who was born September 22,1890 and died February 25,1969. She married Harry Hunter Sensabaugh, a brother to Walter. They are buried at the Ebenezer United Methodist Church Cemetery ,Rockbridge Co. Va. Next seventh child is Hattie May Serrett born May 3, 1898 and died October 1977. She married Charles Conner. I believe Samuel's middle name was Fortner instead of the initial M on his tombstone. The 1860 Raliegh Co. Va(WV) says Samuel F. 2 YEARS OLD. The Riverhead, Augusta Co. Va. 1900 Census says Samuel F. 42 years old and the 1910 Rockbridge,Va. Census says Samuel F. 52 years old. Serena's parents were David O. Hanger and Elizabeth Cale Hanger from Augusta Co. Va. I hope I have helped you!!! Please keep me informed. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!

SERRETT, Family Rockbridge Co., VA. 1st E-Mail: Sun, May 2, 2010 at: 5:45 pm PSTime My grandparents were Walter and Nellie Serrett Sensabaugh. My Dad was Carl Taylor Serrett. He was married to Alberta Sensabaugh. Would love to hear more about my Dad's side of the family. Thanks! Cynthia (Serrett) Reynolds, E-Mail [email protected] Thanks for your E-Mail, Cynthia, You need to give me a littlemore info. on your Parents, I have over 20 Walter SERRETT Families? What year, b., m.. d. etc, What County, state did the live in? Love to hear from you! prs... 2nd E-Mail: Sun, May 2, 2010 at: 5:45 pm PSTime My great - grandparents were Samuel F. Serrett and Surrenah Hanger Serrett from Walkers Creek Rockbridge County Virginia. My Grandmother was Nellie (Serrett) Sensabaugh. My Dad was raised by his Grandmother Surrenah (Rena) Serrett for several years after his birth, because my Grandmother was not married to my Grandfather yet. We were pretty sure that Walter Sensabaugh was his Father, but my Dad never changed his name after Nellie and Walter married. I think somewhere down the family tree my Mom and Dad were cousins - there seemed to be a lot of that going on up in the hills of Virginia, because my Aunt Evelyn Sensabaugh married one of her cousins also (Emmett Sensabaugh). My Dad was an only child and my Mom was one of nine from her family. My Dad, Carl Serrett, was born in 1911 and died in 1981. I know very little about the relatives on his side of the family. Both sets of Grandparents were farmers in Rockbridge County VA. Their farms were sold after both sets of Grandparents died. My Dad's parents are buried at the Methodist Church near Walkers Creek in Rockbridge County. I have always spelled my maiden name Serrett and now I see lots of other spellings. My parents lived in Waynesboro VA. My Dad worked in a plant in Waynesboro VA and my Mom was a private duty nurse. I am an only child with only one surviving aunt and lots of cousins. I know the Sensabaugh family came from Germany back in the 1800's. Where do you fall on the family tree and where do you live? Thanks for getting back with me. Cynthia (Serrett) Reynolds, E-Mail [email protected] Cynthia, Thanks for the Information on the SERRETT's of Rockbridge Co., VA.

BALSER Please review & make any corrections/additions as you deem necessary. Just send me a "Cut & Paste" of the correction. 3rd E-Mail: Thu., May 13, 2010 at: 5:35 PM PSTime Thank you so much for the information. I am a Kindergarten teacher nearing the end of the school year. This will be my 38th year teaching with retirement in the next couple of years. I will try to get some photos to you after school is out June 18th. My husband's family is from Connecticut - career Marine family. My husband just retired from Ft. Lee with almost 38 years as a civilian employee. My Dad was born in 1911 - I wonder if the year 1913 was used as an attempt to cover up his real birth year. It sounds like my Grandmother and her sisters were wild in their day! Too much time up in the hills on the farm with nothing to do. My Grandparents lived in a very small farm house with an outhouse and a stream just off the back porch to access water. They heated the house with an old potbelly stove and cooked on a wood stove. I did inherit my Grandmother's genes for not being a good cook. She made the worst sugar cookies for me. We usually made the trip from Waynesboro VA to see both sets of Grandparents almost every Sunday after church. We spent a lot of hot summer days sitting on the porch swing or rocking chairs watching the cows and sheep graze on the hillsides. The older I get, the more I miss those simple days! Talk to you soon! Cynthia (Serrett) Reynolds, E-Mail [email protected] Cynthia, Your Dad, b. & d. date came from the U.S. Social Security database b. 24 Nov 1911, Walker Creek Twp., Rockbridge Co. , VA.[SSD# 224-22-9398 VA.] d. __ Nov 1981, age 70yrs, Staunton, Staunton City, VA.

SURRETT, James, a120y Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 7:16:38 PM Eastern Daylight Time RocJocs.gif (28970 bytes) thank you for your reply...but the James surrett i was looking for is James A...i recently found him.. b;1795 died 1915 at age 120 ..lived on brushy mountain in Bland Co. Va and was a survivor of the trail of tears. i found this recently and it jives with family legend : This comes from the book "History of Bland County" which was published by the Bland County Centennial Corporation. The name "James Surrett" does not appear at all; however, this is the article from the book on "Jimmie SURAT" who lived to be 120 years old. Since his birth and death data (1795-1915) and name are so close to your ancestor, I think he must be the one you are researching. "Perhaps, one of the most colorful, unique and the undisputed oldest citizen ever to reside in Bland County was Jimmy Surat (pronounced Cert). He came to Bland County from one of the Carolinas. He was half Blackfoot Indian and escaped from the tribe while it was being forced, under government supervision, to move from the Carolinas to a reservation in the West. Many of the Indians died during the 2,000 mile march. He moved to Bland and lived in a cabin on Brushy Mountain, north of a farm that was owned by H. McGinnis, which later became the property of Andrew Muncy. At the time he came to Bland, he was married to a woman whom the oldtimers remembered only as "Aunt Suzie." After the death of "Aunt Suzie" he married "Liz." To this union was bown four children, one boy and three girls. By a former marriage "Liz" had a daughter named "Ol." Her favorite pastime was stealing horses from barns and riding through the woods at night. "Ol" finally left home and spent the rest of her life with Bransom Bullard, who was a former slave purchased from the auction block by Col. John R Compton. Jimmy Surat died at the estimated age of 120 years. Records indicate that he registered to vote at Bland on 9-15, 1902 and gave his age as "about 90." Jimmy never slept in a bed, always on a pallet in front of the fireplace. He died in 1915. H. McGinnis, Claude Richardson, and Miller Leslie hauled his body off Brushy Mt. in a two-horse wagon. His casket was furnished by Ess Mustard and paid for by the county. "Liz" , his wife, rode on top of the casket from the home to the cemetery. He was buried in the Town Cemetery at Bland." ...prs | |||||||||||
