Holly Elizabeth Hemby Sistare, framed portrait after 1900

This is the framed family portrait of Holly Elizabeth Hemby (1837 to 4 Jan 1902), as an older woman. She was the wife of James Hiram Richardson Sistare(1835 to 21 Oct 1862), killed in the Civil War. This is the only large family portrait of her that I know of and it was first owned by probably by her son Barnum Alexander Sustare(10 Jan 1862 to 13 March 1951), passed down to his son Beverly Townsend Sustare (B.T.) (3 Mar 1890 to 1 August 1965) and then to my mother, Nancy Chester Sustare Sutton (17 Nov 1920 to 12 May 1997). I then inherited it after my beloved mother died in 1997. Notes by Carol Lorraine Sutton, March 4, 2007, Sunday. I took this photograph the day before March 3, 2007, it is slanted slightly, because I did not want it to fall over and was afraid if it did, that the glass would break. Size: about 28 by 24 inches. Note, this photo and over 52 others are in a file I made during Feb-March, 2007, on Ancestry.com under the file name:Sutton and Sustare.

HER DAUGHTER IN LAW NANCY HOUGH IS BURIED IN The Purley Baptist Church Cemetary, PURLEY TEXAS.
Along with her eldest son, Simpson Taylor Sistare, [Sustaire, Seburn Taylor ,Sr.] (16 October 1853 - 25 June 1925) whom she lived her last years with. And who is also buried there.

Tombstone data: tombstone says :???
I wonder if this is correct, or do I have the data for Seburn's two wives. As Holly husband would have been "wife of H.R. Sistare" for James Hiram Richardson Sistare?? C.L.S.
{Note by Carol: So there is nothing in his database about her tombstone. It also lists her as died in NC, with no burial data. So now I am uncertain as to where I got the data on her tombstone???, November 20, 2001, C.L. SUTTON}

CIVIL WAR NOTES:
Son of James Hiram Richardson Sistare (4), who was born in 1835 in Connecticut and died 21 October 1862, [L@@K at tombstone photograph], during the Civil War near Winchester, Virginia, exactly three months later at Cedar Creek Battle. J.R. Sistare was married in South Carolina to Holly Elizabeth Hemby .(2nd Great-Grandparents).J H. R. Sistare was buried in the Confederate Stonewall Cemetery. Quote*:"The sixth battle that occurred in the Winchester area was the Battle of Cedar Creek on
October 19, 1864. Despite the disabling reverses suffered at Winchester on September 19 and at Fisher's Hill on September 22, Lt. General Early, commanding the Second Corps of the Army
of Northern Virginia, knew that he must still endeavor to prevent the victorious Major General Philip H. Sheridan from returning detachments of his force to General Ulysses S. Grant, opposing General Robert E. Lee at Petersburg in eastern Virginia. He knew that to accomplish this task, he would have to mount another offensive. Therefore, when Sheridan withdrew northward from Harrisonburg, Early followed. The 2nd Corps reached Fisher's Hill on October 13 and discovered the Federals encamped upon the slopes north of Cedar Creek, encircling the stately mansion Belle Grove, just south of Middletown, some 20 miles from Winchester. Reconnaissance convinced Early at first that his position was too strong for his weakened army to attack. Early had suffered heavy casualties among his officers and his divisions were critically short in this respect. In numbers, the three corps of Sheridan was greatly superior to Early's five divi-"from: google translated pdf file into html:http://www.google.ca/search?q=cache:7PSV6Q1ZX3AC:www.cem.va.gov/pdf/winchester.pdf+Stonewall+Cemetery+Confederates+Soldiers&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

In Reply to: HANBY, HAMBY, HEMBY, HENBY??? by True Steed Jr of 59
Spelling changed often before the Civil War when it became necessary to be more exact. The will of Dennis Hemby of NC in late 1700's uses both spellings, HEMBY and HEMBY in the same document. Other variations aer HEMBEY, HEMBREE, HAMBY and in SC in 1790 it was even associated with EMBRY. The name originated in England as a place name. Henby and Hemby seem to be the earliest. I have the source of a book HEMBY if you are interested.

 James Ervin Sistare and Barnum Alexander Sistare

James Ervin Sistare and Barnum Alexander Sistare (on right)(our line) were identical twin sons of James Hiram Richardson Sistare and his wife, Holly Elizabeth Hemby Sistare, who lived in Lancaster County, South Carolina. "They were born on a farm in Lancaster County, South Carolina, January 10, 1862. They had two older brothers, Taylor Hemby Sistare and John Thomas Sistare, and one sister, Matilda Jane Sistare. Their father went away to war on July 21, 1862, (Private J.H. R. Sistare of 2nd Company-A-, R Regiment South Carolina Infantry,Confererate States Army, Civil War) and died near Winchester, Virginia, exactly three months later. The widowed young mother (Holly Elizabeth Hemby Sistare) had a hard struggle providing for her five children. They moved from Souith Carolina to North Carolina about 1874 (?). In North Carolina their family name was mis-spelled "Sustar" and "Sustare". The twins became prosperous farmers and good citizens in Mecklenburg County. They helped to build schools and served on school boards. Both served as deacons in the Baptist Church for many years." Barnum founded in 1925 the 'Sustare Swimming Pool',an institution of Matthews, NC, and still the largest Pool of Mecklenburg County.

 

"Ervin married Mary Jane Ferguson and Barnum married her sister, Sarah Amanda Ferguson (Daughters of James R. Ferguson and his wife, Martha Ellen Williams Ferguson.) Ervin and "Jinny" had nine children, Barnum and Amanda had eight. Ervin died August 15, 1931, and Barnum died, twenty years later, on March 13, 1951. They were buried in Mount Harmony Baptist Church Cemetery, near Matthews, North Carolina."
James and Barnum Sustare Twins
click to see large picture
SPELLING OF SURNAMES: Although the two twins are both listed as going by the surname of "SISTARE" in the text above. They, at least during their adult lives went by these surnames: Sustar and Sustare.
James Ervin used the surname of Sustar, or James Ervin Sustar.
Note there is NO "e" at the end.
And his twin used the name:
Barnum Alexander used the surnameof Sustare, or Barnum Alexander Sustare.
Note: Barnum used the "e" on the ending of SUSTARE.
The two indentical twins used the different surname spelling in order to distinguish themself from one another, by name, as by looks, they were the same.

Hello Katina
Cyrus was my great grandfather.
I have a Website with all of Cyrus and Matilda's children on it. My grandmother, Margaret Ann Hembree Baxter was Cyrus and Matilda's daughter. I also put together a 26 page book with pictures about their life as it has been passed down. But you will find plenty of pictures on our {BAXTER} family Website http://www.httpcity.com/jbaxter.
 
Are you from Martha Ellen Hembree Johnson family? She was my grandmother's sister.

Didn't know if you had this info already:

This is from the 1880 US Census CD-ROM, but I haven't looked at the actual census page. Looks like the transcriber may have transcribed the names incorrectly, but at least it's close enough to tell it's them.
Daughter Matilda Jane md. S.M. Mullis on March 25, 1884 in Union Co, NC.
Son John Thomas md. Emma Rice on Mar 30, 1891 in Union Co, NC.
Hope this helps a little.

Carol,
Luckily I was on my computer when your message came in. I am having the most
difficult time finding out info on my GGGrandmother, Louisa (A.) Hemby. Surmising
by the dates of Holly Elizabeth Hemby from Lancaster Co., SC, they could
have easily been sisters. There are hardly any Hembys in that area during
those dates, and if we could research further back to GGGGrandparents, we
might would know for sure. As it is, not only am I at a standstill, but I
have not had the time to devote to this. I am pres. of my Rotary Club this
year, and it is pulling me in only one direction - ROTARY!!!!! I don't even
have time to go to the bathroom, it seems; however,
 
Louisa Hemby married J.W. Stogner of Hartsville, SC.
They are both buried in St. David's Cemetary
in Cheraw, SC. I have lots of info on the Stogners, as the families have
been close through all the years. I am in contact at present with Jean
Stogner in Hartsville, whose former husband, L. B. Stogner, is Louisa
Hemby's GGrandson. Jean is also researching Louisa Hemby. Maybe between the
three of us, we can find out something concrete. My maternal grandmother,
Louise Harris Ward, (her mother was Mary Etta Stogner - married James
Fletcher Harris.) had a brother named Hemby Harris. He is also buried in
Cheraw, SC. If any of my info could be of help to you, I will be glad to
send it; and if you find out something before I do, please let me know. I
will try to find time to partially get back into the searches I have begun,
as I love it.
My name is Mary Lemuel Blalock, and I live in Dunn, NC. My
e-mail is
Please e-mail me direct, if you wish. It is alot easier. Thanks for
responding, and I am glad to know that maybe we could have info that would
help us further.
 
Take care, and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
