PENSION RECORDS
After the Civil War ended, the problem of disabled Confederate soldiers and Confederate widows came before the Virginia Legislature several times. In 1888 the Legislature approved payment of pensions of widows of soldiers killed in action or who died in service and those who were severely maimed while wearing the gray. In 1900, as the veteran population aged, some restrictions were lifted. In 1902 requirements were further eased.
The procedure followed was that the veteran or widow filled out an application for a pension. This pension was then presented to a local pension board for review. If this board approved the pension, then it was sent to the Auditor of Public Accounts for payment. The pension applications were not kept at the county level. The Auditor of Public Accounts published a list annually, by county, of the receipents of these Confederate pensions. Hannah Pack is n the 1909 list of pensioners as the widow of CC Pack, becoming eligible in 1902.

Regimental History
29th Regiment, Virginia Infantry
29th Infantry Regiment was authorized in November, 1861, and was to contain seven companies under Colonel A.C. Moore and three companies at Pound Gap. However, this organization never took place. Moore's five companies from Abingdon and companies raised in the spring of 1862 evidently made up the nine-company regiment. It was assigned to the Valley District, Department of Northern Virginia, then moved to Kentucky where it was engaged at Middle Creek. Later it saw action in Western Virginia and for a time served in North Carolina under General French. In March, 1863, it totaled 732 men. Attached to General Corse's Brigade the unit participated in Longstreet's Suffolk Expedition and during the Gettysburg Campaign was on detached duty in Tennessee and North Carolina. In the spring of 1864 it returned to Virginia and took its place in the Petersburg trenches north and south of the James River and ended the war at Appomattox. Many were lost at Sayler's Creek, and only 1 officer and 27 men surrendered on April 9, 1865. The field officers were Colonels James Giles and Alfred C. Moore; Lieutenant Colonels Alexander Haynes, William Leigh, and Edwin R. Smith; and Majors Ebenezer Bruster, William R.B. Horne, and Isaac White.

From the Past: A Massacre end happily
Many years ago, there were a young man and woman who lived somewhere along the banks of the Clinch River with quite a few other settlers. This chapter of Captain John Delong and his wife, Matilda, takes place around the early 1800's.
Late one evening a small band of Cherokee Indians had made camp for the night a short distance from the settlement down by the river. There was no love lost for the Indians by some of the men in the settlement.
These same Indians had been catching their fish in this spot for many years. This made no difference to the men, they wanted to kill them right then.
Captain Delong talked them out of it for the time being. Later that night, these men slipped out of the settlement and killed all the Indians.
The next morning, Captain Delong was told of the slaughter and was asked if he would help bury the indians before their cheif could find out. He said he would.
As the captain and the other men were finishing the clean up, the captain thought he heard a small dog whining in a teepee that had not burned but rather sat there, smoldering. Captain and Mrs. Delong could have no children, but he was found of animals and he hurried to the teepee.
Upon entering, he found, wrapped tightly in a cradle back pack, a beautful Indian baby. Almost overcome with joy, the captain hurried home.
With the glimmer of tears in his eyes, he said, "Tilda, I have for thee a present." Matilda too was overcome with joy.
She fed the baby cow's milk from a bottle that had been used to feed small animals from time to time. When she undressed the tiny being, she discovered it was girl. They kept her and named her Samantha Delong.
In due time, Samantha grew up and married a young man named Jack Pack. As their life progressed, they had a family of three girls and three boys. Their names were Sarah, Cynthia, Ellie, Bill and Flemming. These children grew up while another boy died at birth in the cold, long winter.

Michelle Burress' analysis:
This story has some inconsistencies and while I'm I believe there may be some truth to the story, there are a lot of things that are wrong which backed up with fact. I'm not sure if there as confusion regarding the names or a lot of fiction involved with the telling of the story. There is no evidence that a John DELONG married a Matilda, or that John PACK married a Samantha DELONG. Orman Delong and Sarah Reed seem to be the only resonable couple for a child named Matilda Delong that married John Pack. Orman and Sarah, however, also had many other children. John and Matilda did indeed have children named Sarah (who married a William Burress) Flem, Cynthia, Ella and William, but they also had other children. There is no evidence that either John Pack or Orman Delong were Captains in the Military or that any of these couples were unable to have children). However there was a John Delong listed in the military records of Montgomery county, in the same unit as Orman Delong. Have not figured out the connect yet. ~Michelle
EMAIL COMMENTS
"Isham and Flem were already born before they got married. I haven't been able to clarify if these are her sons from a previous marriage or his or if by chance they followed the custom of the time which was to set up housekeeping, and then when the 'circuit preacher' came around have a 'formal' marriage ceremony. This often consisted of the minister simply taking down the names of the two people and registering it at the courthouse." Info on him came from Kay Brown HIBWIFE@AOL.COM

*Georgia Maud Quesenberry Maxfield, an 80 year old Tazewell resident (deceased), wrote these recollections of early Tazewell County life as told to her by her great-grandmother and her grandmother. Her Recollections appeared in the Tazewell Newspaper.
[Note: There was a Josiah and Anne Spence that lived a few house away from the Pack's in the 1850 Census.]
Granny Spence's Witchcraft solution saves Cousin Flem
Sarah had a 17 year old brother, Flem. The closest neighbor was one we shall not call by name since grandma as well as everybody else said the old woman of the house was a witch.
She had several children, one was a girl about the same age as Flem, and she was madly in love with him. One evening as he walked home she met him and begain to flirt with him. Flem payed her no mind and left her standing in the road with hurt feelings. By the time he go home he had a sick headache.
Grandma stayed up all night with him. At her wit's end, she sent for another neighbor, Granny Spence, who was not afraid of witches. Spence went in to talk to Flem. She asked Flem if he had made any water since the headache began. He managed a weak no. She asked him if he had talked to the neighbor girl. He said yes, she had given him a bloom from a crab apple tree. She asked him what he did with it. Flem said he had put it in his shirt pocket.
Granny Spence reached over the bed and took it from his pocket. She then took a new piece of small silver coin from her apron pocket, wrapped the flower around it and swiftly cast them both in the flames of the back log of the fireplace.
She told grandma never to take the silver out, always put it back after cleaning the fireplace. Then she told Samantha to fill the three legged iron kettle with water and let it strike a rolling boil. She told her to take a tin dipper and pour a dipper at a time on the hearth, spreading it all around slowly, letting it fizzle and pop until it drys each time. According to Granny Spence, after half the water had been used, the maggots that would have eaten Flem alive would crawl out of the hearth.
This grandma did, taking special care to follow Granny Spence's instructions to the letter. Just as the old lady had told her, the wiggly creatures appeared. Samantha hurried and poured the remaining water on them then swept them up and cast them int the fire. Granny Spence told her when this part had been done, the guilty party would come and knock on the door and want to borrow something. She told her not to let her have anything, not even a crumb of bread.
After Samantha had burned the creatures, she went into the bedroom to see how Flem was feeling. Just then, the wicket neighbor came to the door and knocked. Grandma opened the door with her big homemade broom in her hand. The neighbor wanted to know if Samantha could loan her a cup of dry coffee for supper. Anger welled in grandma, she shook the broom at her and told her no, and never to come to her house again. By the next morning, Cousin Flem was good as new. Shortly after the wicket neighbor moved and was never heard from again.
