"A form we loved is gone, A voice we loved is skilled

A place is ___in our home, that ever can be filled"

[s/o Joseph Murray and "Lizzie"Banner #228; twin of Judy Banner #226]

NOTE:  Harry was the son of Elizabeth Banner and Joseph Murray.  He was a twin to sister Judy and he and his 4 siblings used their mother's maiden name.  Legend has it that during the Civil War, Harry was captured at the age of 14 by a rebel unit that was passing through the Martins Creek  section of  now Unicoi County and that a handful of renegades put a noose around his neck and strung him up on a pole that was used to gut hogs.  No one is really certain why the rebels would do this to a young lad.  His mother begged and pleaded for her son's life and fellow neighbors joined in to collectively persuade the soldiers to release him.  It came as no surprise that Harry voluntarily joined the Union on August 15, 1864 in Jonesboro, TN as Private in Co A. 3rd Regiment, NC Mounted Infantry declaring he was "age 18."  His service record clearly shows his name spelled as "Banner",  He signed up for 3 years as a Musician playing a Fife (similar to a piccolo) and on those documents, he is noted "age 16".   He was a "farmer" from Washington Co., and stood 4 feet 6 inches with black hair and black eyes.  He played the fife the entire service and was paid $100 at discharge in August 1865.   An officer misspelled his name "Bonner" which later required explaining via Affidavits for him to collect his service pension.   In 1876, Harry went to school to learn to read and write and continued his studies in medicine to aspire to became one of Erwin's early physicians.  He practiced Allopath medicine along with   Dr. G. C. Williams and Dr. Leroy Sam Tilson     Henry was a member of the Freemasonry.  On April 5, 1874, he married Phoebe Ann White [d/o Margaret White and unknown]; sister to county surveyor, David Jonathan White.  Henry and Phoebe had 5 children:  Harvey, Judah E., David Sinclair,  Lula E., Ethel Jane.  His family lived in the Lilly Dale area of Erwin.  He died a young man at age 46 and it's unknown of the cause of death since death certificate were not established until 1908.

1) Harvey B. (b. Nov. 30. 1874 -  d. )

2) Judah E. (b. Nov. 22, 1876 - d. )

3)  David Sinclair (b. July 24, 1879 - d. ) md. Cordie Stewart #118

4)  Lola E. (b. Aug. 16, 1890 - d. )

5)  Ethel Jane (b. March 12, 1893 - d. )

NOTE:  Phoebe was not found in the 1850 Washington Co., TN census as she was probably just born.  Furthermore to date, her mother, Margaret and older siblings have not been found either in the 1850 census for Washington Co., TN or the surrounding counties.  It is believed that since Margaret was pregnant during that census, she most likely was living in the Greasy Cove area because DJ, Phoebe's brother wrote a note that he contracted typhoid fever in 1853 at age 13 and was living at his grandfather’s estate:  “I lived on the old John White place in Greasy Cove in speaking distance of old Uncle Jake White and his family who moved up from Embreeville to cultivate a part of the farm which had not yet been divided between the White heirs.”  Phoebe and DJ's grandfather, John White died in 1850 and their mother, Margaret, did not die until 1854 so she was still alive taking care of the children at her father's house.  During the 1860 Washington Co., TN Census, HH 801, she was living with her Aunt Sarah White-Tipton who was taking care of her and older sister Sarah since their mother died in 1854. A couple of houses down was the Elizabeth Banner (age 40) and her children which explains how Phoebe came to know Henry C. Banner (age 10)  as children.  Per the Unicoi Co., TN land records, Book 0-52-3, dated December 1874, Phoebe White-Banner, heir of 1/10 of 45 acres of undivided land from her grandfather's estate John White sells same to her brother D. J. White and wife Margaret for $25.  Phoebe's niece, Mary White-Edwards wrote a letter to David J. White (Mary's father) in 1913 and stated "Paw, ....you and aunt Phebe were the only ones of that family that ever had any sense."  David J. White writes in a letter that "Dr. Banner died at Erwin, buried at Martin's Creek graveyard 1904 by Masonic.  Phebe also buried there , died 3rd September 1918."

Per the Unicoi Co. Death Record #604, her parents not mentioned; she died of liver disease and was a widow; informant was J. G. Toney, buried at "Martins Creek"

b. 1820  - d. aft. 1891

[married Rachel Steward? in Monroe Co., TN; children: Bethena, Della G., Loretha J., Ruth E., John A., James]

NOTE: He came from the Kilby District of Wilkes Co., NC and is noted in the 1840 Census.  During the 1850 Census, he (age 27) and wife Rachel (age 32) moved over to Monroe Co., TN and noted with the following children and possibly her father in the household: Bethena (9) Della (8), Loretha (5) Rutha (1) and Riley Steward (50).  Sometime before 1860, the clan moved back over to NC to the Ramseytown section of Yancey Co., an area which is near the Unicoi Co. border. 1860 Census shows: Isaiah Price (39), Rachel (43), Bethena (19), Della G. (17), Loretha J. (15), Ruth E. (9), and John A. (3).  The Civil War breaks out and Isaiah first voluntarily joined the CSA.  He signed up in Burnsville for Co. B, of the 29th NC Regiment at age 45 on July 3, 1861 and was transferred on September 16, 1861 to Co. K.  He was described as 5 foot 9 inches, fair complexion, yellow eyes, black hair and a farmer.  He became sick and was discharged on July 24, 1862 due to "chronic rheumatism of the lower limbs, inflammation of the kidneys and ureter.  (This may explain his "yellow" eyes, being jaundice.)  On September 1, 1864, at Bulls Gap, TN, age "44", he joined Co. G, 3rd NC Mntd Infantry for 3 years. His record described him as having "grey eyes, dark hair, fair complexion, 5 foot 9 inches, farmer and a resident of Wilkes Co., NC." John Shelton signed him up. In March and April 1865, he was absent from the rolls because he was in the Hospital at Knoxville "wounded in both hips"  He remained in the hospital until he was discharged on August 8, 1865 and paid $100.  He served for 11 months and 8 days. After the War he remained living in Ramseytown, and noted in the 1870 Census: Isaiah (50) and Rachel (52), Laura (24), John (14), James (10), George (5) and William (1).  George and William are the grandsons. The two daughters Bethena and Della G. are not in the household.  Living next door is Isaiah's brother, William Price (67) and his wife Nancy (66).  The 1880 Ramseytown, Yancey Co., Census shows: Isaiah (60) and Rachel (62) with no one else in the home.  Living next door is son John A. Price (23) with wife Elizabeth and their 2 children.  About 6 houses down are sisters Dilly / Della G. Price (33)  and Laura/ Loretha Price (29) living together with the following children: Rachel "daughter" (10), William "son" (10); Julia "daughter" (6).  Dilly is noted as "divorced".  Sometime before 1890, Isaiah and family moved over to Erwin to live out the remainder of their years. He was noted in the 1890 Unicoi Co. Veterans Census and noted in the 1891 Male Voter Registration Roster of Unicoi Co., TN.  Civil war pension application #U-247-1 shows "ruptured kidneys, back pain, enlargement of testicles".
