Farrar all of Albemarle County V a 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. Alex. K. Yancey Charles Alexander Yancey May 30,

10 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 discovery 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 recorded. 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 received 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 transcription 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. Kenneth B. Yancey
