++Lonnie C. (L.C.) b. August 1878/1880/1881
d. ? around 1918 in flu epidemic
Virginia/West Virginia ?
Lonnie was also
a barber, just like his brothers Cornelius J. and Angus Edgar. He married Amanda Ausley on 6-4-1900 in Durham,
NC. Amanda was born in August 1879 and died before 1911. She was the daughter of Thomas A. and
Emeline Cates Ausley. Grandparents were Isaiah and Rhoda Ray Cates of Orange County and Almond and Mandy (Amanda) Brasington
Ausley of Chatham County, NC. After their marriage, Lonnie and Amanda lived in Durham and Virginia.
Lonnie and Amanda had one child, Lawrence Vernon (b. 1908 in Virginia). After the deaths of his parents (exact times
unknown), I believe Lawrence Vernon Maynor was adopted by his aunt and uncle, William B. and Victoria
Ausley and went by the name Lawrence Vernon Ausley from that time on.
Another
mystery! I cannot find Lonnie or Amanda in either the North Carolina or Virginia Census of 1910. Amanda
must have died before Sept. 1911 since she is not listed in her father's obituary. Lonnie is listed in the
1911-12 Durham, NC City Directory living at 703 Corporation Street along with his father, W.J. Maynor.
No mention is made of his child, Lawrence Vernon. William B.
and Victoria Ausley are listed in the 1910 Virginia Federal Census (Portsmouth) as having "no
children." Lawrence Vernon would have been about 2 years old in 1910. Then in the 1920 Virgnia Federal
Census (Norfolk), Vernon is listed as age 12 and their son.
A Loney Chambeling Maynor signed
a 1917 draft registration card in Charleston, West Virginia. He was a self-employed barber and his nearest relative
was listed as Elizabeth Maynor. Is this
our Lonnie and, if so, why did he leave his son in Virginia?
++Mary Alice (Alice Maynard) b. 6-6-1877 d. 1-6-1966 in Rocky Mount,
NC.
married (1st) Milton A. Peace on 3-23-1903 in Winston-Salem, NC. His parents are listed
as J.N. Peace (dead) and C.F. Peace (living, Durham, NC). By the 1910 Federal Census, Alice Peace
was a widow living in Norfolk, VA with her 6 year old daughter, Mary Judson. By the 1920
Virginia Census, Mary Alice married William Hogshire in Norfolk. William was 47 and a sailmaker at the
Navy yard. Also, by 1920, Mary Alice's daughter "Mary Judson" married William Hogshire's son,
Ryland, who was also a sailmaker. They were married when Mary was 15 and Ryland was 19. By the 1930
Virginia Federal Census, Mary Alice was again widowed and living with Ryland and Mary Judson Hogshire in Princess
Anne County (Kempsville).
++Angus
Edgar (b. 6-6 or 6-22-1877 in Chatham/Moore County d. ???)
He married
Virginia Ella "Jennie" O'Neal on 6-29-1902 in Durham, NC. Jennie was born in April 1883 in Wake
County and was the daughter of John and Rebecca A. Ferrell O'Neal. Grandparents were Michael and Ann Barker
O'Neal of Wake County.
From 1903 - 1910, Angus and Jennie lived in Greensboro, NC where he worked
as a barber. By the time of the 1917/1918 WWI Draft Registration, they were back in Durham and lived there
until around 1926. During this time, he was a barber at High & Brodgen, The Superb Barber Shop, and First National
Bank Barber Shop. When his father died in September 1926, the obituary listed Angus as living in Hendersonville, NC.
Angus and Jennie visited a Stokes family from time to time in Hendersonville. He was listed, with his family, in both
the 1927 City Directories for Durham and Greensboro, NC.
Angus and Jennie had four children:
Vera Leigh (born 1903), Victor Edgar (born 1906), Lois Virginia (born 1911), and Mary Rebecca (born 1921).
Angus disappeared from Greensboro
sometime in 1927. When Jennie and their youngest daughter, Mary Rebecca, came to pick him up after work....Angus was
gone....leaving an envelope with a note and some money.
From August 1930 to January 1934, Jennie Maynor boarded her young
daughter, Mary Rebecca, in Elon Orphanage so that she could work at a Burlington cotton mill. In October 1933, Jennie Maynor was granted an absolute divorce from Angus
Maynor (he did not answer any summons and the court officials could not locate him) in the Durham NC Civil Court.
In December 1933, Jennie married John
E. Sharpe of Hillsborough (the husband of her late sister, Annie). Shortly thereafter, Jennie removed Rececca from the
Elon Orphanage and brought her to Hillsborough to live.
Angus's daughter, Mary Rebecca, received a telephone call in 1960 from a man who said he was Mr.Weatherspoon---a
friend of Angus' and that he had heard that Angus was in a rest home somewhere in the Asheville area. This
"Mr. Weatherspoon", who called Rebecca at her beauty shop in Durham, also asked about Rebecca's brother &
sisters and whether any effort had ever been made to find Angus. Rebecca said that her mother had tried several
times to find out what happened to Angus, but was not successful. After the call, Rebecca's sister, Lois,
drove from New York to Asheville in an effort to find Angus, but did not.
Years later, Rebecca often wondered if it had been Angus himself who called her.
Someone in North Carolina knows what happened to Angus. Will we ever find out???
