Click here to view profile Annie Rachel Livingston August 14th 1918 – July 25th 2006 Early Life Annie Rachel Livingston was born in 1918 in Troy, Montgomery County, North Carolina, to Fannie Mae Livingston and Horace Ceaser Poole. She was raised by her mother and grandparents, Mary and Alexander Livingston, as she did not meet her father until she was 66 years old. She had one brother, Bradley Livingston, who also never knew his father. Annie spent the first nine years of her life in Troy, sharing a home with her grandparents, aunts, and uncles. She and her family lived in a four-room house that was never painted, had no attic, and was warmed by a wood stove. Their laundry was done in the yard using a big tub, and their home was lit by oil lamps. She shared a 12x14 room with three beds and minimal furniture. Despite the modest upbringing, Annie found joy in the simple things. She loved square dancing and playing with dolls—though she would get mad when her uncle Tom messed with them. Her family traveled by horse and buggy from Troy to Norwood, NC. With any money she had as a child, she would buy candy and ice cream, recalling that candy cost just five cents and pencils were a penny each. She never had pets but deeply admired her grandmother Mary, who she believed was the best cook. Annie especially loved her grandmother’s biscuits. The only cookies she had growing up were simple sugar cookies, and for Christmas, she would receive stockings filled with sweets and candy. They never had a Christmas tree, but sometimes, she would celebrate at her uncle Carson’s house.

Birth Certificate Education and Young Adulthood Annie attended Norwood Elementary School, walking to school each day. Her favorite subjects were spelling and arithmetic, while geography was her least favorite. She received plenty of homework from her teachers but never participated in school sports. She recalled attending the circus as a child but never took any major trips or vacations. She did not attend high school. Annie went on her first date at age 14 with Lacey Caudle. Annie Livingston to the Left of Teacher (2nd Grade at Norwood School) L to R: Annie Rachel Livingston and Martha Hughes Annie Rachel Livingston in Norwood Marriage and Family Annie met Hugh Kennie Eury while they were both living in Norwood, just a couple of blocks apart. Their romance moved quickly, as she later wrote: "We danced some together at a neighbor's house on a Saturday night. After that, it went fast. We ran away and got married one morning with another couple on October 4th, 1933, in Chesterfield, South Carolina. I was scared someone would find out before we could get married. I was so young, but we made it just fine. We had to sneak around to be together because my mother didn't believe in me dating. On our first date, he borrowed a car, and we went for a ride. He soon proposed to me in the living room." Together, they had three sons: Alvin (born 1934), James (born 1936), and Carvin (born 1939). Hugh and Annie did not have a honeymoon. After returning from Chesterfield, they first lived with Hugh’s uncle, Willie Hill, and his wife in the countryside. Their first home alone together was a two-room apartment above the Eddins family home on Cottonville Road in Norwood. In 1937, they moved to Concord, North Carolina, where Annie got her first job working at Cannon Mills Plant No. 10. Hugh enlisted in the Army in 1944 but was discharged after four months due to an undisclosed condition. Upon his return, the couple ran a small grocery store beside their home on Swink Street in Concord. Their home was a short walk from Hartsell School, where all their children attended.

(born 1893) Fannie Mae Livingston May 29th 1893 – January 15th 1984 Into the Life Fannie Mae Livingston was born on May 29, 1893, to Alexander and Mary Frances Livingston in Montgomery County, North Carolina. She was the oldest of six siblings. Fannie had three children: Bradley Livingston (born 1911), Annie Livingston (born 1918), and Erion Livingston (born 1924). Tragically, Eron passed away as a baby in 1925 from pneumonia. Fannie lived with her parents, siblings, and children in Troy, North Carolina, until 1927, when the family relocated to Norwood, North Carolina. Throughout her life, Fannie was a dedicated worker. While living in Troy she worked at the Capelsie Mill. In Norwood, she worked at Collins and Aikman Mill. The fathers of Fannie's children are believed to be members of the Poole family from Randolph County. Upon Fannie’s passing in 1984, her granddaughter Shelia, uncovered that Annie's father was Horace Poole . It remains unclear whether Fannie and Horace were ever in a relationship. Additionally, there is a longstanding rumor that Bradley's father was David Franklin Poole, Horace’s brother, though this has yet to be confirmed.

Born at a time when women had limited opportunities outside the home, she defied societal norms by becoming a lifelong mill worker. The textile industry was grueling, with long hours and physically demanding labor, yet Fannie remained dedicated to working, demonstrating her immense independence. Everyone seemed to have a lot of respect for her and admired her greatly. At the time of her death, she had four grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Click here to view profile Boyd Jackson August 11th 1929 – September 4th 2010 Benjamin Boyd Jackson was born in Banks County Georgia on August 11th 1929 to Mittie Lou Ausburn. It was believed by most that Claude Jackson, husband of Mittie Ausburn, was the father of Boyd Jackson; however, after DNA testing, through the son of Lucille Jackson, it has been determined that Claude Jackson may not have been the biological father of Boyd, rather it was a man by the name of "Luther Huttie Watson". This was apparently known to a select few, including Boyd Jackson's son, Ronnie Jackson, who told me that Luther "Luke" Watson, was his biological grandfather and that his father, Boyd Jackson, always knew this. It is unknown why or how the relationship between Luther and Mittie came to pass, but it is speculated that Claude Jackson may have been unable to have children. Boyd was originally named after his maternal grandfather, Benjamin Ausburn, whom he was quite fond of growing up. He said his grandfather, Benjamin, was the strongest man he ever seen. He would cut down trees with only an axe, never a saw. He could plow a mule all day long, stopping only for a glass of water. Boyd had one younger sister, Lucille who was born in 1932. He also had a much older half-sister, Bertie Mae Ausburn. Boyd's mother, Mittie, became very sickly. With Claude working the farm, she wasn't able to care of Boyd and Lucille by herself. Bertie Mae, would pick up Boyd and Lucille on Sunday afternoon and keep them at their house until Friday afternoon so they could go to school. So Boyd was essentially raised by Bertie Mae and her husband, Harve Deaton. Mittie Jackson died on July 6th, 1941. Before she passed, she pulled Harve Deaton aside and asked him to take care of her children. Harve promised that he would take care of them as long as they would stay with him.
