4917	THIRD GENERATION 6 1 MARTIN JOHNSON, son of (4 2), was born in what is now Surry County in 1640 No record of his marriage has survived, but we know from his will that he had six children. He doubtless was a planter as his father and grandfather were before him, working the land in western Surry County that had been granted to them. His name appears frequently as a juror for manslaughter and larceny trials during the latter half of the seventeenth century and he often appeared as a witness for property transfers, etc. Martin Johnson's will was recorded on July 16, 1687 and was probated on May 4, 1703. His property, as indicated in his will was considerable and included slaves, a large munber of cattle, and much in way of household furnishings.

4939	This is based on his wife being buried there. Notes for MATHEW AUGUSTUS REYNOLDS LAINE: The census taken in April of 1930 indicates that the Mathew Laine family lived in Isle of Wight County, Virginia.Mathew Laine's occupation was listed as a sawman in the logging business. Ashton Laine who was 22 years old at that time was living at home and was a bookkeeper for a general store (W. J. Joyner's). "(Old) Surry Lumber Company Camp" was written in the border of the census sheet. Some of the houses in Central Hill were built by the Surry Lumber Company for their employees. The census recorder spelled the family name "Lain" and listed Aston (Ashton), Catherine, and Eveline(Evelyn) incorrectly. See the scrapbook for a picture of the house that the Laine's lived in until mid-year 1930. Catherine Laine lived in this house until she was 18 years old. The life of the Mathew Laine/Susie Horne family is closely tied to the Surry Lumber Company. The Surry Lumber Company was incorporated on January 3, 1885 by R. T. Waters and Son from Baltimore, Maryland. The Waters purchased the properly and unnamed lumber business from David Steele, a New Jersey native. Steele came to Surry County in 1873 to take advantage of the after effects of the Civil War and the break up of the plantation economy. He had good ideas but lacked the finances to bring his ideas to fruition. His primary creditor was R. T. Waters and Son. The Waters grew the Surry Lumber Company into the largest producer of yellow pine lumber in eastern United States. In 1886 the Surry Lumber Company obtained a charter for a common carrier railroad - the Surry, Sussex and Southampton Railway. The Company built a large sawmill at Mussel Fork Plantation. Houses and a commissary were constructed for the workers and the town of Dendron (derived from the Greek word for trees) grew around the operation. By June of 1889 the Company expanded its operation and extended its rail line to various places in the region. They began buying land and standing timber in Surry, Sussex, Southampton, Isle of Wight and Prince George counties. The Company built housing for the logging and railroad workers at various locations. Around 1900 the rail line was extended further to a new camp called Straw Hill on the Jerusalem Plank Road (now route 35) at the Sussex/Prince George county line. Straw Hill camp closed in 1907. In 1904 a new camp was built in Upson, Sussex County on the Jerusalem Plank Road. Upson had a company store where workers could buy on credit. The Upson site was used until 1915. Note that Catherine Laine was born in Upson in October of 1912. The Surry Lumber Company did not provide any type of reforestation. They cut and moved on. By 1915 they exhausted the timber supply west of the Nottoway River, gave up in that area and purchased large tracts of land and standing timber in Surry and Isle of Wight Counties. The Company built another logging town on a new rail line about two miles west of Isle of Wight Courthouse called Central Hill. Most of the equipment and employees from Upson were moved to Central Hill. Note that Evelyn Ruth Laine was born at Central Hill in June of 1921. In the mid 1920s Central Hill had a population of about 300. The end of World War I, depletion of the supply of cuttable timber, and competition all negatively impacted the Surry Lumber Company. In October 1927 the Dendron mill closed permanently. The closing of that mill then caused the collapse of the local economy and there was an exodus from Dendron, Sedley, Vicksville and Central Hill. The Company began scrapping the mill machinery in early 1928. The Company sold it holdings and sold the Company owned housing to the occupants and moved or tore down the remaining houses. The SS&S Railway ceased operations in July of 1930 and all the tracks were taken up by the end of the year. Sedley and Central Hill still exist today as residential communities. Dory, Vicksville and Newtown are place names with nothing left that would suggest their past, and Straw Hill and Upson have vanished. Sometime after April of 1930 the Laine family moved from Central Hill to Newport News, Virginia. They moved to a house on Hampton Avenue. While at this location, Ashton found a job at Nachman's Department Store, Catherine began nursing school at Buxton Hospital, Evelyn was in elementary school, Mathew Laine started work at Waterfront Lumber Company, and Susie Horne Laine maintained the household until she became infirm and was sent to the Catawba Sanatorium in May of 1933. Information about the Surry Lumber Company was extracted from an article in "Virginia Forests", "The Surry Lumber Company - Logs, Locomotives and Lumber", by Jack Huber. After the Surry Lumber Company failed Mattew Laine was out of work. Ashton Laine had a job working at Nachman's Department Store on Washington Avenue in Newport News, Virginia. Since Ashton was the only one working the family, including Matthew, Susie, Ashton, Catherine, and Evelyn moved to Newport News, Virginia to a house at 1144 Hampton Avenue. Evelyn enrolled in Walter Reed School into the forth grade. Macgruder school was first to third grades only. Shortly after moving to 1144 Hampton Avenue, they moved to the twelve hundred block to a house with a lower rent. This house was also of a lesser quality, poorly insulated making it rather cold in the winter. Later Ashton, Matthew and Evelyn moved to rent an upstairs apartment with the Gray's on 22nd Street. Mr. Gray had died and Mrs. Gray rented the apartment. Shortly after this, Evelyn went to live with Pearl Dunn and her family in Emporia, Virginia. Evelyn was supposed to go into the seventh grade high (the grades used to be designated as low and high, i.e., seventh low or seventh high, indicating whether one was in the first or second half). Evelyn was instead place in high school - the eight grade. After about a year she returned to Newport News. Catherine and Charles were married and moved to a house at 222 Cherry Avenue. Mathew Laine went to work for the Waterfront Lumber Company. Ashton married Louise and moved into the Shipyard apartments. Evelyn move in with them. Matthew moved into the apartment above the Waterfront Lumber Company Office in the twelve hundred block of Jefferson Avenue. Ashton and Louise moved to Durham, North Carolina. Evelyn went to live with the Love family. Mr. Love was owner or one of the owners of Waterfront Lumber Company and lived on Chesapeake Avenue. Evelyn stayed with this family until Mr. Love's daughter became ill. He asked Mr. Smith if he would board Evelyn, which he did. Prior to Evelyn leaving the Love's , she was taking a knitting class a Nachman's and met one of the Smith family. She met Jean Smith and became good friends. Evelyn was invited to Jeans birthday party at the Chamberlin Hotel at Old Point Comfort,(Fort Monroe) in Hampton, Virginia.	LAINE Matthew Augustus Reynolds (I806)

4945	This is the house that all of us cousins remember. They built a 2 story office addition on the back. We used to play a mean game of darts down in the finished basement also. HC Horne kept his comic book collection here. They used to have hams and bacon hanging in the storage part of the basement every year. The entire family used to get the hams and bacon from cousin Phillip Chappell. The basement had stairs that led to the kitchen and shadow (one mean Pekingese dog) wouldn't let Gene, Tommy or HC up those stairs anywhere near the kitchen. That dog guarded the refigerator with his life, of yes and we did tease him.	HOWARD Samuel Linwood (I928)

4947	This is very interesting to me, yet a very sad way to have his life end This is from the 1754-1801 Sussex County Virginia Court Records at page 48: "At a Court held at Sussex Courthouse on the 31 day of August 1791 for the examination of William HARGRAVE on Suspicion of his being guilty of murdering Aaron BOOTH Present David MASON, Robert JONES, David MASON Jun. and John MASSENBURG Gent.

4948	This is where things get confusing, as Maycox was lived in by Carter Bassett Harrison(of Berkeley), younger brother of President William Henry Harrison, but here a Carter Bassett Harrison is shown as the son of William Allen Harrison of Prince George. I do not know how the son of William Henry Figg and Susanna E.E. Harrison(Figg), William Benjamin Figg and his wife, Evelyn Butts (Figg) ended up at "Maycox" in 1891 for my grandfather to be born there. 'tis a mystery........... 1824, 14 Dec.

Carter Bassett Harrison, my plantation, Page 20 The Southside Virginian, Vol. IX No. 1 "Maycox", and 25 slaves. To son William Allen Harrison, my plantation "Blairs", and 25 slaves. To son John Henry Harrison my plantation, the "Mill Farm" and mill. To daughter Anna Martha Harrison, $5000 and 20 slaves. Slaves I got from my wife, Martha, to be divided between Anna, William and John. Balance of estate to be divided equally between the four children. I wish my Uncle, William Allen, to take charge of my sons as long as he lives, and I appoint him and my relation, Benjamin Harrison of Berkeley, my Executors. My daughter I leave to my friend and her relative, Juliana Coupla[n]d, hoping she will do a mother's part by her. My executors to be guardians of children. Signed W A Harrison No witnesses.
