all of Albemarle County Va

died at the residence of her

husband in the village of

Hillsborough on January

the 31st day of January 1875 at

4 oclock AM in the hope

of everlasting life.

She was a good wife, a modest

woman and an humble

Christian. She was candid

and truthful and would

not tell what was untrue even

in jest. And while she was de

voted to the usage of the M. E.

Church South she was liberal

and conciliatory towards those

of a different faith and she

had many intimate friends

among them chosen as such

not on account of their pos

tion in society, so called, but

because she believed that

they came up to the measure

of the standard of the scripture

of Divine Truth as nearly as

they could. The writer of the

above had her as his helpmate

for nearly forty years and

knew her well.

May God enable her husband

and children to follow her

as she tried to follow her

Divine Savior.

About This Transcription:

In 1983, during my first visit to the area of Yancey Mills,

my uncle, John Handley Yancey, noticed a sign on the lumber

mill located in Crozet on route 250 that read “R. A. Yancey

Lumber Mill”. We stopped and explained our family history

interest to Richard A. Yancey. He invited us to his home and

introduced us to his wife, Anna Boaz Yancey. She graciously

invited us in and after listening to us for a few moments, stood

up, quietly walked across the room and returned with the large

Yancey family Bible which had been in her possession for some

time.

The family records contained therein were a fantastic dis-

covery for us. This was the first time we were able to make a

connection between Charles Yancey and Charles’ parents,

Jeremiah and Margaret Mullins Yancey. In addition all of

Charles’ children by his first and second marriages were re-

corded. The delight of that visit and the hospitality of Mr. and

Mrs. Richard Yancey still remain one of the highlights of my

pursuit of Yancey family history. Not long after our visit, I re-

ceived in the mail a copy of a handwritten transcription of the

family records prepared by Anna Yancey.

In 2011 I returned to Crozet and visited with Dick and Jane

Yancey of Charlottesville who had obtained the Bible so that I

might make a new scanned copy of the family record pages. So

with the new scanned copy of the Bible, together with Anna

Yancey’s earlier transcription, and a request from Dennis

Yancey for a complete transcription, the preceding transcrip-

tion came into being.

I want to express my appreciation to Richard and Anna

Yancey for their love and sharing of family history. I also want

to thank Dick and Jane Yancey for obtaining the Bible for

scanning. And thank you, Sarah Yancey May, for making the

Bible available so that it might be shared more fully.
