Looking for information regarding Sallie Cary, daughter of Dr. Nathaniel R. Cary, Major,
39th Virginia Infantry and Susan Fisher of Eastville, Virginia. She lived at Holly Brook
during the Civil War and later, after the Federal occupation of the Eastern Shore,
escaped with her mother to Liberty, Virginia. After the war, she returned to the Eastern
Shore and attended school in Drummondtown. She married Professor William S. Graves of
Bedford County in 1883. She is also listed as Sarah Elizabeth Smith Cary. She died in
1937 in Bedfrod, Virginia but not before she wrote of her experiences of running the
blockade during the Civil War. I am searching for those writings.
