The old Cook Stove in the corner, was made by my family in Greensboro NC. Glascock Stove & Mfg Co made wood & coal stoves etc from 1874 to mid 1960s. The Black Bird cook stove was our smallest cook stove. - Great Video
I was born and raised in Wilkes County, my step dad was a cox , I loved your video and the stories mr,shepherd was telling, I could listen to men like him all day, because once they’re gone so are the great stories, my main reason for commenting was wandering if you noticed all the orbs in the video, several orbs so I believe his kin are still there which is awesome in my opinion,was also wanting to know if he would allow a fellow Wilkes county native to come and see it in person, I live in Ashe county now days and probably one of the few confederate history searcher’s left, great video!
@@bettybutler3327 I’ve watched it several times, it seems when he picks up the wooden leg is when they really start coming towards the camera, I’ve always been fascinated with orbs, if you watch some of the videos of the paranormal at Gettysburg you can see the resemblance, and notice how the orbs stop when he puts the leg down, not dust or bugs if that were the case you would see them throughout the video but you don’t.
I'm a Cullars.. in Frazier Folks, the Cox family...all are known to me. But, mr. beggs at the funeral home moved our family cabinn off Soap Creek at Sybert.. Matthew Keller/Cullars of Lincoln county before there was Lincoln. I studied All kinds of people there.. going on 20 years..
@joryshepherd1136 can you send me an email at info@appalachianmemorykeepers.org? I have a question about the digital file of letters that your Father has in a binder. Thanks!
I love stories like this. My family farm my granny had still stands. Over 100 yrs old. We had an apple orchard too. And pines. The old stove which was huge, is still in kitchen. Remember gram stokin the fire in it. Up til 69 when she passed. Thank you for this.....❤❤❤
I agree with other commenters -- this video is a treasure. I loved listening to Mr. Shepherd. I can understand how there are so many reminders of family history in his wonderful cabin. I have deep roots in North Carolina, and I found a few tears coming to my eyes as I listened to him. Thank you this posting, Kelly.
It is so nice that you have preserved a part of your history and the history of North Carolina. Thank you for sharing and for taking care of that sweet little cabin. Love from the piedmont of NC.
That was really fun! Mr. Shepherd brought the whole cabin to life and I felt like I was stepping right back into those time periods with him. I wish he would write all of his memories down. I love history , but I had not heard of some of the things he had in his cabin and told about. The stories were everything from sad, bittersweet to all out funny. Thank you for this.
Very well done interview. We need to talk with people who have these memories stored about the past, they are our last link to history. So glad that the cabin was saved. Thank you for the video,just subscribed.❤
Many early WW2 military kit items were leftovers from The Great War (WW1.) I wonder if that might be the case with the bayonet. Mr. Shepard and you may both be correct.
Just found your channel, definitely will be returning. This video style is one of the best! Love that he’s so excited to share his stories about all of his relics.
Greetings from the U.K. What a lovely man Johnny is, a mine of local history and incredible family stories. I adore his accent I could listen all day. The cabin is just a gem thank you so much for sharing.
I’ve been working on my family tree and going through census records from West Virginia and Kentucky and I’ve seen just about every last name mentioned in this video! This is amazing cabin with lots of history!! Thanks for sharing!!! ❤
That one item that you thought was associated with putting shoes on horses is not! 🤣I have a horse farm and I’m 63 years old and I’ve never seen anything close to that except possibly for removing a shoe slipping between the shoe and the hoof, but it looks awful big for that! I live in the Piedmont of N.C. Cabarrus County
Thank you.... I honestly was thinking it was an attachment/handle for a well and bucket... To turn the log with rope to bring up the bucket ... But that was just a guess lol 😂
@@stephanecomeau8197 I believe they dissembled the old chimney before they moved the structure and put it back together the best they could at the new site.
Have lots of family and n Wilkes county. Church and Brown . Some of my Bumgarner/Orren ancestors are from Wilkes also. Most of us live in Alexander county now.
It is a mortising chisel for cutting square holes in timbers for Timberframe structures. A drill would start the hole and the chisel would square off the inside to slip the end of the next timber into place. My husband is a timberwright, otherwise I wouldn't know. He used a newer version to build our grape arbor.

Thank you! I am going to have to research your family's company. Sounds like there is a story and potential video there! :)
Glascock made some beautiful stoves.
There's nothing like pure American history. Thank you gentlemen.

I'm going to have to watch that again and look for those orbs. Good catch.
Not positive those are orbs, I think their bugs flying round the lights. But like the video and history.

I have just found your channel. I PRAY this TREASURE along with this precious man & family were spared from the Floods of Hurricane Helene.
He was! PTL!
@@AppalachianMemoryKeepers praise KING JESUS!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
This video is a treasure. As the older folks die off these great stories go with them. Great that you got a chance to record this. Thanks for sharing.
I agree 100%! Thanks for watching!
This guys family goes back like my family to the 1700’s!
Thanks for doing this video! My sister, brother and I grew up hearing these stories - John is an amazing storyteller AND also our dad!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Wow...what a great man and great story teller.
Amazing history

Amazing video, his family stories that he shared. Will now be saved for another 100 years.
I hope so!
I could literally listen for hours. Some of us have no historical knowledge of family this is so beautiful thank you for sharing many Blessings
Glad you enjoyed it
I loved this video. If I'd have been born 100 years before I'd have had to live like this.
My mother was a Cox and her great grandfather came from NC to MS in about 1840. Small world now and even smaller back then.😊
Great time with Mr. Shepherd, thanks Kelly.
Thanks for watching!
What an incredible piece of history. It's quite beautiful.

I love the way Appalachians speak. Not just the accent but the norms and how they explain things.

We had a cabin like that n our county but kids burnt it down. 1800 cabin 😢😢😢 great lost.
That was really fun! Mr. Shepherd brought the whole cabin to life and I felt like I was stepping right back into those time periods with him. I wish he would write all of his memories down.

Thank you for filming this. I was totally intrigued seeing all of the old items
Your very welcome!

Thank you! We believe it is very important to capture stories like this before they are lost forever!
Great story, My family originated from Wilkes and Watauga County North Carolina, the Deep Gap area.
Glad you enjoyed it
That mystery item is an old farrier's buttress for shaping horse hooves.
@@rickymartin4807 Thank you!
What a beautiful little cabin in the history I could listen to them all day his stories I'm watching from Canada❤❤❤❤❤❤
John is a great storyteller! Thanks for watching!
I'm watching from Ontario and enjoying every minute of these stories.
Fantastic! Thanks for watching and please subscribe!
You're right, Mr. Shepherd's tour of the Cox cabin is a real treat. Just subscribed.
Thanks!
I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bless him, that’s a torpedo bottle from late 1800’s early 1900’s had soda water in it, they bayonet is a type 99 Japanese WW2
Many early WW2 military kit items were leftovers from The Great War (WW1.) I wonder if that might be the case with the bayonet. Mr. Shepard and you may both be correct.

That is awesome! You are very welcome!
This would make a great movie.
Thank you so much for the showing the cabin and the history of it
We're glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video, I love history, and this gentleman family are awesome, I have family that fought on the confederate side as well.
Nice video 😊
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for responding.
Your item with the blade with wood handle looks like something used for making dowel holes to join logs together.
It’s a wood working tool! To make Holes.
Thank you.... I honestly was thinking it was an attachment/handle for a well and bucket... To turn the log with rope to bring up the bucket ... But that was just a guess lol 😂
That was my guess, but have to admit I’ve never seen on before.
To bore a hole.
Just found your channel very interesting would a like to know more about the chimney
What would you like to know?
@AppalachianMemoryKeepers if they use the old chimney that was built with the house or if it was a new one when they moved the house
@@stephanecomeau8197 I believe they dissembled the old chimney before they moved the structure and put it back together the best they could at the new site.
@@AppalachianMemoryKeepers ok thank you great stories
My grandparents were Welch😂. From ashe country. Could we be family?
Have lots of family and n Wilkes county. Church and Brown . Some of my Bumgarner/Orren ancestors are from Wilkes also.
Most of us live in Alexander county now.
It's amazing how many families have ties to Wilkes County!
I assume the cabin lasted through Helene? Very Nice!
Yes, it survived Helene. The rising creek got very close to it but luckily stopped almost on the doorstep.
I think I’m related to these Cox’s
The mystery item is called a leading iron for making those 5 gal can Yall seen earlier generally they was homemade. Yall have a wonderful day.
That scraper might be to clean off burned foods from the top of a wood burning cookstove.
That tool he thought was for cleaning horses hoofs looks more like it’s for cutting nails when removing roofing shingles.
The Cullars cabin is older ask at Beggs Funeral home.
I hope the cabin is still there. Is it??
So much history has been lost
It's a wiblin pin😂😂😂😂😂😂
Could it be a tool to remove wood singles
Did you ever figured out what that item was ? Z-shape with wooden handle and chisel like flat tip . 🤔
It is a mortising chisel for cutting square holes in timbers for Timberframe structures. A drill would start the hole and the chisel would square off the inside to slip the end of the next timber into place. My husband is a timberwright, otherwise I wouldn't know. He used a newer version to build our grape arbor.
What he called a sausage grinder is actually a tobacco grinder.
Nope, it is a sausage grinder. I have used one many times.
