* indicates that the veteran was deceased at the time the census was taken
His brother John, who married Mahala Griffith (pronounced Griffin on
Craines Creek), was called "John Puny" because he was always complaining
about his health "puning around" his neighbors said.
"In my generation it was customary to distinguish persons of the same name
by referring to the father of each; "Clem's Jim", "Jim Ran" (son of Randolf)
or by identifying them by where they lived. "Ed Kirby" (pronounced locally
"Kyarby"); or by including a reference to a distinguishing feature: Big
Nelson, Little Hen, Thin Jim or Phe-he Jim (stuttering Jim). Women with
identical names were identified by their husband's names. "Hannah Jim",
"Marry Jarret", etc.
John "Pune" Jim and Nelson were Union soldiers in the Civil War. Sgt.
Nelson was killed in Battle at Middle Creek in Floyd County, buried in
Louisa, Kentucky.

ried (2) Louisa Stidham Abt. 1889; born November 1840 in
