Kiser He was born on the 5th of May 1820 at the mouth of Dumps Creek, Russell County Virginia, and he died of the flux on the 27th of Oct 1886 on Priest Fork in Dickenson County, Virginia. John “Johnny” Kiser married Sylvia “Sibbie” Burchett d/o Leonard Burchett (1786-21 Aug 1881) and Alcey (Phillips) Burchett (1785-21 Oct 1881). She was born on the 17th of Jan 1827, and she died on the 25th of Jan 1921, at the age of 92. John Kiser and Sylvia Burchett were married in 1846. John “Johnny” Kiser was a son of Ephraim Noah “Eph” Kiser and Mary “Polly” (Sutherland) Kiser; at one time “Johnny” owned 1,800 acres of land. This included 350 acres of land that John “Johnny” Kiser bought from his father, Ephraim Noah “Eph” Kiser for $1.00 dollar per acre, just west of his brother, James Marshall “Buck Jim” Kiser’s property. John “Johnny” Kiser’s 1,800 acres of land extended up Frying Pan and joined the old William “Billy” Sutherland Place, the grandfather of Judge Elihu Jasper “E.J.” Sutherland and near John B. Wright’s Place. Part of his acreage that he owned included a 210 acre mountain top farm that the Kiser family have long refer to as the old “Bud” Sutherland Place, where “Bud” once live. Tilden R. “Bud” Sutherland was the son of Simpson Fenroy Sutherland and Sarah “Sally” (Powers) Sutherland. Tilden R. “Bud” Sutherland was named for his Uncle, Samuel Jahile Tilden Powers, and he married Dolly Owens who was a daughter of William Walter Owens and Elizabeth Owens. This 210 acre farm (old “Bud” Sutherland Place) is located on top of the mountain to the east of Priest Fork. The Kiser Cemetery is located to the east of Priest Fork; on a point, in the edge of an old field; just down below the old “Bud” Sutherland Place, and near John B. Wright’s Place. There are nine graves there. Although “Johnny” owned this property, he and Silvia never lived at the old “Bud” Sutherland Place, however, one of Johnny’s sons, Noah L. Kiser and his new wife, Louisa Victoria “Torie” (Self) Kiser lived there after they were married in 1904. Their first two children Falsome and “Roosie” were born at the old “Bud’ Sutherland Place. Abednego “Ab” Kiser was also one of the sons of Ephraim Noah “Eph” Kiser and Mary “Polly” (Sutherland) Kiser and a brother of John “Johnny” Kiser. He married Rebecca Counts d/o John “Jackie” Counts and Phoebe (McReynolds) Counts. Ab and Rebecca were married in 1836. Rebecca Counts father, John “Jackie” Counts gave her the tract of virgin-mountain land that was located at the mouth of Priest Fork of Frying Pan Creek. Abednego “Ab” Kiser built a two story log house in 1840. The old log house is located in the bottom where Holland Rasnick now lives, near where Priest Fork comes into Frying Pan Creek off Sandlick/Frying Pan Road (VA 80). Abednego “Ab” Kiser sold his farm on Priest Fork to his brother, John “Johnny” Kiser when “Ab” and Rebecca moved to Tom’s Hill near Sandlick. “Ab” and Rebecca would later move to “New Kentucky” and then to Roane and Jackson County West Virginia. John “Johnny” Kiser batched in the old “Ab” Kiser log house for two years before he and Silvia were married in 1846. John “Johnny” Kiser and Sylvia (Burchett) Kiser lived all their married lives, at the mouth of Priest Fork of Frying Pan Creek. All of their children were born and raised there. John “Johnny” Kiser and Sylvia “Sibbie” (Burchett) Kiser had many parties at their house where there would be singing, drinking and dancing. ”Johnny” Kiser and his son Noah L. Kiser both played the fiddle and his son, John M. Kiser played the banjo. John “Johnny” Kiser was a Union sympathizer during the Civil War. After John “Johnny” Kiser died on the 18th of Oct 1886 from the results of the flux, Sylvia “Sibbie” (Burchett) Kiser lived with her two son’s Noah and John M. Kiser, at the mouth of Priest Fork of Frying Pan Creek, in the old log, two story house that Abednego “Ab” Kiser and Rebecca (Counts) Kiser built in 1840. John M. Kiser never married and he died in 1952. In her later life, Sylvia lived with her daughter, Elizabeth (Kiser) Fuller and “Hawk” Fuller, until she died on the 25th of Jan 1921, at the age of 92. “Johnny” left the “Bud” Sutherland Place to his son’s Noah L. Kiser and John M. Kiser. Both Noah L. Kiser and his brother, John M. Kiser was fond of drinking and they both accumulated a large debt that was “put down on account” at their brother-in-law, Henry Hawkins “Hawk” Fuller’s general store, who owned and operated the store at Colley, Virginia. Henry Hawkins “Hawk” Fuller was the s/o Jacob Fuller and Margaret Jane “Pud” (Colley) Fuller. He was married to the daughter of John “Johnny” Kiser and Sylvia “Sibbie” (Burchett) Kiser daughter, Elizabeth Kiser.
