\nInterview with FELIX T. BEGLEY,<\/p>\n
Bull Creek, 27 March 1898<\/p>\n
A relative of Polly North’s?<\/p>\n
I was born 6 March 1834 in Leslie Co., then Perry, near the mouth of Cutshin. My great grandfather BEGLEY came from Ireland. He was a weaver by trade. He came with my grandfather and is buried on Cutshin. He had a by-word, “damn-an-it”. He spoke broken English. My grandmother was Minnie SIZEMORE. She was a daughter of “Old George of All” SIZEMORE, who came with my grandfather, William BEGLEY, from Hawkins Co., TN. He had children as follows; Henry, John, Ned, and George; Minnie (William BEGLEY), Rhoda ROBERTS), Ruth (John JONES), and Susan BOLLING.
\n“Old George of All” was a hairy man and a prize fighter. He wounded William TWITTY in a fight, so that he died. SIZEMORE nursed TWITTY and would cry and tell him he had nothing against him, asking him to fight him again if he got well. SIZEMORE is a Cherokee Indian name. He is said to be half or more Indian. The SIZEMORES are very numerous in the mountains. The SIZEMORES settled first on Middle Fork, they went to Clay, Floyd, and other counties.<\/p>\n

My favorite story of George All Sizemore B:1755 D:1822:
\nGeorge All’s Story
\nAdded by DennisBegley551 on 12 Aug 2007 Ancestry. com<\/p>\n
In the meantime, in another part of the area, the Cherokee
\nIndians had also captured a white girl. One Indian Chief,
\nseeing her beauty, became desirous of possessing her for his
\nown, and took her into his teepee. However his love was
\nshort-lived, for the girl’s brothers made pursuit and brought
\nthe girl back to her own people, but under her heart she carried
\nthe child of the Indian Chief. This child was given the name
\nGeorge All Sizemore. (Information from Pleasie Woods
\n(deceased).
\nWhen George All grew to manhood he married the Indian girl whom
\nMr. Cornett had raised. George All and Agnes Shepherd thus
\nbecame the progenitors of the Leslie County Sizemores. Their
\nchildren were Henry, John, Edward, George, Sally Ann (who
\nmarried Eli Couch)Minerva ‘Winnie” who married William “Bill”
\nBegley, Rhoda who married a Roberts and a Wilder, Ruth who
\nmarried John Jones, and Susan who married a Bowling.”
\nAccording to the “Clay County Ancestral News” 6-1991, in an
\narticle from the John J. Dickey Diary, an interview with Felix
\nT. Begley, Bull Creek, Kentucky, March 27, 1898: “Old George
\n“All” was a hairy man and a prize fighter. He wounded William
\nTwitty in a fight, so that he died.
\nSizemore nursed Twitty and would cry and tell him he had nothing
\nagainst him. All he asked of him was to fight him again if he
\ngot well. Sizemore is a Cherokee Indian name. He is said to be
\nhalf or more Indian.
\nThe Sizemore are very numerous in the mountains. The Sizemores
\nsettled first on Middle Fork, then went to Clay, Floyd, and
\nother counties. (Polly North, 85 years old, whose mother was
\nRhoda Sizemore, says they came from New River).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
