The following is taken from portions of a taped interview on December24, 1988 of George Sherriffs, then age 93:


George Sherriffs was born on March 29, 1895 in the small village ofMethlick about 25 miles north of Aberdeen in Scotland. His father wasthe town butcher and the family lived above the shop located on themain street. His daughter, Ellen (Sherriffs) Sparks visited the shopduring a trip in 1991 and older neighbors remembered the Sherriffsfamily. After he finished school he worked in a sawmill 5 miles fromMethlick.


In 1914, at the outbreak of World War I, George was called to dutywith the 51st Scottish Gordon Highlander Division. He served 2 years5 months in the trenches. He said that the rain caused the trenchesto fill with water and mud. They wore kilts and the mud was overtheir boot tops. They were left in the trenches for two weeks at atime without relief. George was given three citations for bravery andhis service effectively ended when he was struck in the hip by anexplosive bullet in the Third Battle of Ypres in October, 1917. Inthat battle, the British were surrounded on three sides in a woods.The British were forced to retreat. The following afternoon, 16 teamsof machine gunners were ordered to advance. George was a machinegunner with a number two man to feed the ammunition.


George was ordered to advance 100 yards. Because the ground wasfrozen, it was impossible to dig in for protection. After arelatively short time, his aid was struck in the wrist with anexplosive bullet and, when George went to his aid, he was hit in thehip. As George recalled the incident, he remembered that they wereforbidden to smoke lest the light betray their position. In lieu ofpipe or cigarettes, they were given a "bogie" or twist of blackchewing tobacco. George recalled that he had just taken a large biteof the tobacco before he was hit. He remembered that he swallowed itwhen he was struck and that the tobacco made him sicker than thebullet wound!


After a long convalescence in Bath, England, George was slated to goto the Russian front. While he was on leave with three friends, theGerman Armistice was signed, November 11, 1918. The group overstayedtheir leave and turned themselves in at Edinburgh. They were returnedto England and given KP duty as punishment. They were then givenhonorable discharges from the service and returned home. Their orderof discharge depended upon their civilian employment, the more"critical" the skills, the earlier the discharge. Since George workedin a saw-mill, his discharge was delayed. After his service in WorldW ar I, George obtained employment in a paper mill in Beauly, nearInverness in the Scottish Highlands. During his several years ofemployment in that area, he met the Chisholm girls from Beauly,especially Margaret Chisholm. The Chisholms were Roman Catholics, ararity in Scotland at that time.


George became dissatisfied with his work, primarily because the heavysnows prevented the harvesting of the lumber in the four months ofwinter. Thus there was no work during that time. After a discussionwith Margaret, George decided to join an uncle who lived in Canada andhe emigrated from Scotland about 1922. He first obtained work onfarms near Winnipeg in central Canada. He was also in touch withMargaret's sister Catherine (Chisholm) Todd and her husband Herbert, adecorated World War I veteran and a gardener by vocation. The Toddshad found it difficult to obtain steady employment and had earliermigrated from Scotland to Pasadena, California. George had moved toFort William, Ontario, Canada by 1926 and was employed in a paper millthere.


During their long separation, George and Margaret continued tocorrespond and, by 1926, George sent money for Margaret to join him inCanada . Later, Margaret told George that the money had been stolenand George was forced to send a certified check for her transportationmoney.


Shortly after her arrival in Fort William, on July 28, 1927, Georgeand Margaret were married in the Catholic Church in Fort William, nowThunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. Two years later, as George continued towork at the paper mill, the couple had their first child, Ellen MarySherriffs, born on October 31, 1929. However, the New York stockmarket crashed that very week and an economic depression was feltaround the world. Within a year, George lost his job with the papermill.


Herbert and Catherine Todd were doing well in Pasadena, California,and they offered to lend enough money to George and Margaret to enablethem to travel to California. Herbert was able to find George ahalf-day job as a gardener with a Mr. Upham, a wealthy man whoseformer gardener had "drunk all his whiskey" while Mr. Upham was on atrip to Texas. With a job promised, the Sherriffs family with 10month-old Ellen Mary took the Trans-Canadian train west to Vancouverand crossed the border at Seattle as their first step in becoming U.S. Citizens.


For the first year in California, Margaret and Ellen lived with theTodds and Margaret cared for the children of both families whileHerbert and Catherine, who was employed in a restaurent, worked. Bythat time there were two Todd children, Donald and Jane. George spentthe work week living as a roomer on Mayfield Avenue in West LosAngeles near Santa Monica and he ate in a restaurant. He was givenbooks on gardening by Herb Todd and studied at night in his room.Also, he was fortunate to have an old friend from Methlick, Scotland,John Chalmers, who was supervisor of gardening for several propertiesand was able to obtain employment for the other half-day for George .He also taught George many things about gardening.


Finally, after many months, George was able to afford to rent a houseon Kiowa Street in West Los Angeles so that his family could join himand he could eat in his own home. Over the years he was able to buildup his own business, acquire a truck and all of the necessarygardening equipment. In 1942, George and Margaret purchased theirfirst, and last, home at 12231 Darlington, West Los Angeles,California. In 1936 a second child, Elizabeth, was born to them and,in 1938, their last child, Roderick, was born. [In a rather bizarrecoincidence, many years later, O. J. Simpson, famous football player,was accused of murdering his wife, Nicole, in her home which waslocated on Bundy Avenue, about 2 blocks from the Sherriff's residence. Later, after the death of George Sherriffs, the father of PresidentClinton's "intern", Monica Lewinski, purchased the home directlyacross the street from 12231 Darlington and both homes were frequentlyseen on national television when Monica visited her father].


Prior to the birth of Elizabeth, the Todds told the Sherriffs of theirdecision to return to Britain to live. Herbert Todd had beenseriously wounded in the war and had been forced to give up his WorldWar I disability pension when he left Britain and he was elegible toresume it upon his return. The amount of the pension became moresignificant during the hardships of the depression and the cost ofliving in England was lower.


Over the years George had obtained work for many celebrities includingmovie star Ida Lupino and movie and TV star Richard Boone. He finallyretired in 1965 at the age of 70 years. Little did his family expectthat he would survive for an additional 29 years! Margaret died in1974 and George was forced to live alone on Darlington Street for thenext fifteen years. He was joined for a few years between 1976 and1978 by two of his grandsons, James T. Sparks and Timothy J. Sparks,while they attended the alma mater of their parents, the University ofCalifornia at Los Angeles. They stayed in the spare bedroom and "keptGeorge company."


Finally, in 1989, it became necessary for George to move in with hisdaughter Elizabeth (Sherriffs) Anderson in Pacific Palisades,California. In addition to working full time, she cared for him withsome professional assistance until he became too much of a burden forher in 1992 at which time he was placed in a nursing home. Hecontinued to live there until March 27, 1994 when he passed away justtwo days before his 99th birthday. For the last two or three years ofhis life, George was visited regularly by his children who would takehim out into the garden in his wheelchair so he could see his belovedflowers and trees. He had outlived his wife Margaret (Chisholm)Sherriffs by twenty years. At the time of his death he had fivegrandchildren and eight great-grandchildren . His remains werecremated and buried on April 2, 1994 at the foot of Margaret's graveto the sad notes of a piper standing on the nearby hill. All of hischildren and grandchildren, save one, were there as were a fewfriends.

(This is a continuation of notes received by email, the first partappearing under notes for George Sparks)


According to information from kinsmen in North Carolina, after Georgereturned from the military service, he married a Miss Mainer about1815, but the marriage records have not been found. George and hisbride, along with some other Wilkes Countians, went to Georgia;probably to settle some undeveloped lands which were just opening inthat state. Prior to going to Georgia, however, he received somemoney from a neighbor as is shown by the following note which has beenpreserved by descendents of his brother, Reuben Sparks, of Traphill.The note reads as follows: "Mr. Daniel Wilcockson, sir, please to payGeorge Sparks twenty seven dollars and half for me and my order shallbe a receit for you. October 15, 1814. Francis Kerby. Test: JohnSparks"


It was in Georgia, on March 21, 1816, that George's oldest child,Lucinda Sparks, was born and shortly afterwards his wife died. We canonly imagine his feelings. In a strange land, bereft of his youngwife, and burdened with a helpless baby girl, he probably becamedespondent and returned home to Traphill. When the 1820 census wastaken of Wilkes County, he and Lucinda were living with his parents.


Sometime about 1820, news was received in the Wilkes-Surry Countiesarea that reasonably-priced land was available in the Big Sandy Riverarea of Kentucky and several families decided to migrate there. Thesefamilies had intermarried in North Carolina and some were quiteclosely related; such as the Gambills, Holbrooks, Lyons, and Sparkses. They probably traveled as a cavalcade following a route whichprobably paralled present-day US Route 421 from Wilkesboro to Bristol,Virginia then US Route 58 to Gate City, Virginia, and then Route 23northward to Lawrence County, Kentucky. They arrived just about thetime when the new county of Lawrence was formed form parts of Floydand Greenup Counties in 1821.


The Sparks settled fenerally on the headwaters of Big Blaine Creek andof the little fork of the Little Sandy River. They constituted asizable group. There was Thomas Sparks, and his nine sons from SurryCounty; Jesse Sparks from Lee County, Virginia; Wesley and WilliamSparks, sons of Robert; and George Sparks and his brothers; LeviSparks, Jonathan Sparks; Reuben Sparks, and Colby Sparks.


They did not all stay in Kentucky. Reuben and Colby returned toWilkes County to marry and rear families. Jonathan went to FranklinCounty, Tennesee, to join another brother, Solomon Sparks. When thefederal census of 1830 was taken of Lawrence County, there were ninepersons named Sparks who were heads of families, constituting thelargest surname group of all the families listed.


George Sparks left Wilkes County, owing a neighbor five dollars whichhis father paid. A preserved document reads as follows: "Mr. JohnSparks. Pleas to pay John Brooks Five Dollars that your son Georgepromised to fetch to me at Court in so doing you will oblige yourfrind, & This is the first of November 1821 and this shall be yourreceipt in full. John Johnson." We'll probably never know whetherGeorge ever repaid his father.


George met, courted and married his second wife, Nancy Short, soonafter he arrived in Kentucky. They were married on August 7, 1822 byRev. Stephen Wheeler, a Baptist minister. Theirs was the first Sparksmarriage recorded in the county of Lawrence. Nancy was born on April7, 1800 in Virginia. Her parents were Aaron and Elizabeth ChaffinShort, both born in Virginia.


In 1825, George was involved in a land transaction of short duration.He bought 50 acres of land on the left fork of the Keaton Fork of BigBlaine Creek from his father for 100 pounds. Tradition says Johnacquired the land for his Revolutionary War service. John's signatyrewas witnessed by two of his friends in Wilkes County, North Carolina;John Johnson and Jesse Johnson, and the deed was recorded at Louisa,Kentucky on October 28, 1825. On the same day, George resold the landto John Lyon for $150. (Kenton Fork is in the heart of the Blaine oiland gas field.)


George was a member of the Lawrence County Grand Jury at the April1826 term. Other members of the jury were: Robert Carter, HiramChadwick, Archibald Rice, Isaac Conley, John Ross, John Van Horn,Samuel White, Joshua Jones, Barry Lambert, Thomas Auxier, Elijah Rice,John Morgan, William Evans, Berry Fugate, George Grubb, James Wellman,and James Edwards.


George returned to North Carolina in the fall of 1826 with theintention of bringing his daughter, Lucinda (now ten years old) backto Kentucky to live with him. He carried with him a power-of-attorneyfrom his brother Jonathan Sparks to act for him in collcting andforgiving debts in Surry County. Whether George was successful as hisbrother's attorney is uncertain, but he failed in persuading Lucindato return with him to Kentucky. In fact, she did not recognize him.She was so comfortable and content with her grandparents and UncleReuben that she continued to live with them in Wilkes County. Shemarried James Hans in 1838 and they raised a large family.


After his return from North Carolina, George bought 100 acres of landon the Little Fork of the Little Sandy River from Walter Caldwell,John L. Elliott, and Stephen Hughes on February 26, 1827. George andNancy settled here with their growing family; consisting of John bornin 1823 and Nancy, born in 1825. Their third child, Cynthia, was borna few months later in July 1827. A fourth child, Hugh, had been addedby the time of the 1830 census.


The section of Little Fork where George and Nancy lived is bestidentified as the general area where Lawrence, Carter, and ElliottCounties join. Carter County was formed in 1828 and Elliott Count wasnot formed until 1869. Thus, records of George Sparks can be found inall three counties. He was in Lawrence County when the 1830 censuswas taken; he did not appear on the 1840 census as far as can bedetermined. He was still in Lawrence County in 1850, but he was inCarter County in 1860. In 1870, he was in Elliott County wherehe diedon May 11, 1879. Nancy had died just exactly four months earlier onJanuary 11, 1879. They are buried in the Lawson Cemetery in ElliottCounty.


The Lawson cemetery is on a high knob, a mile or two north of the oldpost office of Ibex. The area is generally drained by Big GimletCreek which empties into
the Little Sandy River not too far away. It can best be found byinquiring of someone living near Ibex and the last few hundred yardsmust be traveled on foot.
