I do have census records showing that George Watson Thacker married Rebecca M. Humphries on March 14, 1861. Her father was Howell G. Humphries. Her mother was Ann F. (Nancy) Settle Parish, from census records of Rockbridge County, Virginia. Also, some Court records from Fluvanna County. From the marriage of George Watson Thacker and Rebecca Humphries there were 12 children. The third child born was a son, Eugene Beauharnois Thacker, June 2, 1868. He was named for a French General and the small rock house in which he was born still stands on the now Oak Ridge Estate. Of the five sons born to this union only Eugene and a brother Leslie made their home in Nelson County. Leslie married a Miss Mary Mays from the Colleen Community. Eugene Thacker married Nora Marshall Thacker (his first cousin) on December 9, 1888. The family settled on a 63-acre farm in Arrington, Nelson County, land purchased from John W. Goodwin. My grandfather was successful farmer with a trucking business and my grandmother was a seamstress. On December 28, 1918, Massie Doyle Thacker married Dicie Catherine Wright, youngest child of John Nelson Wright and Lucy Jane Giles. They made their home with his then grandparents and parents. From this union was born Lawrence Bugene Thacker in 1920, Mildred Doyle Thacker (myself) in 1922 and Anna Pauline Thacker in 1925. "Polly" died in 1938 from diphtheria. My father worked the farm, clerked in White's store at Arrington, carried the mail by horse and buggy to Phoenix and worked in the Post Office. He worked in a factory in Maryland during the war. Returning to Nelson County he was timekeeper for the Highway Department, first at Bryant, Virginia and then at Shipman where he was working at his death in 1957. Lawrence Eugene Thacker married Helen Borman of Poplar Bluff, Missouri while serving in the Air Force during World War II. He still lives in Popular Bluff. One child from this union, Nancy Pauline Thacker, was born September 1, 1943. On May 25, 1946, married Randolph Marshall Brown, from Shipman, Nelson County, at that time serving in the U.S. Navy, continuing to serve for 28 years, retiring in August 1969 from the Naval Station at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. We bought our home in Shipman in 1947 where I still live. We have three children, Catherine B. Carter, b. 1947, Marshall Davis Brown, b. 1950 and William Doyle Brown, b. 1957. Submitted to Nelson County Heritage by: Mildred Thacker Brown. Source: Family information, my memories and Court and Census records.
