Ancient tomb legends stir in Montgomery County
The Shaweville tomb on the mountain side between Shawnville and Ellison houses four real burials rather than one legend says. Capt. D. H. Barger traced records from Edmundson heirs showing Col. George Hancock and Julia Hancock Clark linked to the vault along with two other Hancock descendants. A historic cabin once hosted figures like President Jackson and Lafayette, now vanished, with a proposed marker along Lee highway. Turner, a famed Virginia bear hunter, is highlighted for frontier lore and bold exploits.
