      VANNOY FAMILY

      The Left Fork of Sandy, on which Sandyville is situated, has several large tributaries, among which are Copper Fork, which enters at Sandyville, and Service Fork, a stream about three and a half miles long, which comes in from the right, about one and a half miles above Sandyville, Turkey Fork on the same side and a mile further up, which heads about six miles away, in the low gap at Garfield.

      Cornelius Vannoy lived on Service Fork. He had sons Ben, Anthony, Alexander and John. The latter married Susanna Sheppard, a daughter of Henry and Diana Sheppard. He lived on Rush Run, at the George Knotts place, about 1857, lost a leg in the Confederate Army, and was a familiar figure about Sandyville for several years before his death.

      Hester Vannoy married George Anderson.

      George Winkler, a German, was a school teacher who married a sister of Vannoy’s wife, and lived on Service Fork, in 1841 or 1842. [House refers to the wife of John Vannoy - Susanna Sheppard. George Winkler married Artimishia Sheppard. . . bb]
