52 (Research):Potential brother, Thomas Hayslett, appears in Rockbridge Co., VA Tax Lists starting in 1787, one year prior to Andrew's first appearance. Thomas was a Revolutionay War pensioner, b. 1750, d. 28 Feb 1826. See: https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/1995/records/70828.

Andrew Hayslip appears in an Augusta Co., VA record in 1762: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L9P7-S9S1-V. If this is the same Andrew, it would likely make him born closer to 1740.

54 (Research):Robert A. Hunter was an illegitimate child. According to my grandfather, Bob was the son of "a Hayslett." When asked about a first name, I was given "John Hayslett... maybe." After looking at records, I found that John Franklin Hayslett would have been about 16 at the time of Robert A. Hunter's conception - not impossible, but highly improbable. I then thought Bob's father to be George Hayslett, father of the aforementioned John F. However, this too seems somewhat improbable - I have no record of George Hayslett in Greenbrier Co. Which brought me to my next theory - Robert B. Hunter's father was Robert Bradley Hayslett - the oldest son of George Hayslett. At the time of Bob's conception, he would have been about 21 years old. I have no record of Robert B. Hayslett in Greenbrier Co., much like his father. This would fit the other story I was told by my grandfather - Bob Hunter's father was murdered (as Grandpa put it, "they (who they were was never specified) took the sonuvabitch out in the woods, made him dig a big hole, shot him, shot his horse, and buried both on the spot." The similarity in the names of alleged father and son would also seem to be a link as Robert is not a name found in either the Hunter or Kelly families. I have since discovered that Robert Bradley Hayslett remained in Rockbridge Co. where he was married and had a family. Which led to my final theory - Robert B. Hunter is the son of Robert Hayslett, brother of George. Robert Hayslett would have been about 42 at the time of Bob's birth, and died single (no record of his death exists, but it was sometime after 1887 - so much for my grandfather's story). Note: All Hayslett(e)s found in Greenbrier Co. are the descendants of George Hayslett.


According to my grandfather, Roy M. Hunter, his "Granddaddy Bob" was... what was his word... a "sonuvabitch." In no way could he be considered "kind." At some point, as the story goes, Kate left Bob for a period of about a week, running away to Indiana with a Mr. Burns (probably part of the Benjamin F. Burns family from Kieffer). Kate returned home, only to be greeted by her loving husband, gun in hand. Bob took a shot at her, aiming for her head, but missed his mark, only grazing her scalp (and ruining her bonnet). They were divorced shortly thereafter.

Bob was later married to Kate Shawver Crane, inheriting a large number of stepchildren. It was no secret that Bob did not care for the Crane children - they were not properly cared for and at times went hungry. Bob died in 1938 from massive head trauma resulting from having a seizure and falling into a fireplace. My grandfather discovered Bob after the accident, and along with a friend, took him to a doctor in East Rainelle where he was pronounced dead after some time. Foul play for some reason was suspected and Bob's death was investigated. My grandfather was even considered a suspect, but was never arrested.

A Funeral Mass for Alan Emile Bourg, age 67, of Malone, NY, will be held on Friday, September 6, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Helen's Church with Rev. Vincent Flynn officiating, followed by a celebration of life at 1:00 p.m. at Titus Mountain, lower lodge. Mr. Bourg passed away on Monday, September 2, 2024, at the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington, VT, surrounded by his loving family. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Frary Funeral Home, Malone.

He is survived by his wife, Lesley Bourg; his children, Caleb Bourg and his wife Toni and Jacob Bourg and his wife Tedi, of Malone; the mother of his children, Dinah Manley; his grandchildren, Charlie Rose and Chase; his sister, Laura Bourg, of Lafayette, LA, and his brother, Henry Bourg, and his wife Carol Ann, of San Antonio, TX, and several nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents and his brother, John Bourg.

Alan was born on July 6, 1957, in Baton Rouge, LA, the son of the late George James and Ruth Arda Borde Bourg. He met Lesley King in 2003 and they married on July 1, 2011, at Chateaugay Lake, with the family sharing in their beautiful day. Alan worked as an electrician for IBEW 995 out of Baton Rouge, the local his grandfather co-founded. Through the union, his work brought him to Malone, NY, in 1989 for a project at Fort Drum. He then worked as an electrical trade vocational instructor for the NYS DOCCS, retiring after 29 years in July of 2022.

Alan was deeply committed to lifelong learning, a trait that was evident in his avid reading habits. When first coming to Malone, he eagerly explored nearly every book available at the Wead Library, constantly seeking to expand his knowledge and understanding. Beyond his intellectual pursuits, Alan was passionate about skiing with his two boys and all their cousins and friends at Titus Mountain. His love for music was equally profound. Alan was a talented guitarist, finding joy in strumming chords and belting out a tune as often as possible! His enthusiasm extended to his unwavering support for the Baton Rouge LSU Tigers football team, a passion that began at a very young age; Geaux Tigers! Despite all these interests and pursuits, Alan held family above all else, considering it the most important aspect of his life, cherishing every moment spent with Lesley and loved ones.

In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory can be made to The American Cancer Society or Hospice of the North Country.

James A. Haley enlisted as a private in Co. B of Capt. Benjamin F. Poteet's Co. 64 Regt. Virginia Volunteers at Lee Co. on 10 April 1862 for a period of three years (enrolled by Major Thompson). This unit was also referred to as Slemp's Regt. Virginia Infantry (James was recorded as a private under this division at Saltville on 30 June 1862, serving for a period of three years and enrolled by Lt. Col. H. C. Slemp).

On 9 September 1863, James A. Haley was captured at Cumberland Gap, TN. He was taken to the Military Prison at Louisville, KY. On 24 September 1863, he was transferred to Camp Douglas, Chicago, IL, arriving two days later. James died at Camp Douglas on 18 October 1864 of acute diarrhea (date of death is also reported as 27 October 1864 in service records). He was buried in grave 110, block two of the Chicago City Cemetery.

In 1867, the Chicago City Cemetery was closed, and 4200 known (along with about 1800 unknown) casualties of Camp Douglas were relocated to the Oak Woods Cemetery in Chicago. In a mass grave known as "The Confederate Mound," soldiers were buried in cocentric circular trenches. In the center of this pattern, a 46-foot tall monument was dedicated on Memorial Day, 30 May 1895.

James A. Haley and family lived with the family of Baxter and Lucinda (Showalter) Simpkins in the 1860 Lee Co. Census.

I Seat myself this morning to drop you a few lines to inform you as that I am well at this time hoping these few lines may find you enjoying the Same blessing well, To, I would be very glad if peace was made So that I could be at home with you all we have all stuck together along time but alas this War has parted us from each other it has cald me away from my Dear family and all my Dear relations but one he is with me yet it has Seperated me from all that I hold Dear. & if it was not for the hope that to obtain of geting home again I would just as Soon be Dead as alive for my life is a perfect drag to from the fact that I have to be away from home and friends and be cursed by these big headed up Starts of the Country and lay on the ground in the rain & mud when I have got a good bed at home and eat bread & meet all the time when if I was at home I could get better if this things wouldent give a man the blues what would and there is another thing I dont get any thing for all this I am geting. So tired of it that I go out to myself some times and take a harty cry but it all does no good, if I had it I would give the wealth of Lee County if I was at home and could stay there, Some days I get So bewildered that Start off Some where and I dont' know where and the first thing I know I walk up to a guard and he sends me back Oh that I was as free as I once was it is useless for me to try as to describe my dis satisfaction of for tounge cannot tell any thing about my feelings in regard to it well, To I wish you would come up and see us it would only take you one day to come and one to go back I will bring my few disinteresting lines to a close by saying unto you that I want you all to write to me often you have a better chance to write than I do So nothing more at this time I am Still you affectionate Brother intill Death give my love to all let all of the folks see this letter James A.
