A dog unearthed a damp, 120-year-old census sheet naming twelve people who, according to every Dunmore record, had never existed - and one name disappears entirely after a court ordered “removal.” What happened to the keeper, Amy Casey, and why does every map, deed, and survey act as if Sallow Lane never was?
In this episode, you’ll hear how a volunteer records steward followed a single manuscript page into library stacks, court dockets, and parish registers to trace a missing street and its people - and why the county archives contain deliberate silences that stop when Amy Casey’s fate begins.
Person: Amy Casey
Date: December 1891
Location: Dunmore, hill-country Virginia
Event: court docket entry - matter of unlicensed habitation and public nuisance
Record: baptismal register entry noting “formerly of Sallow Lane, now dispersed”
- A dog named Copper retrieved the fragile census sheet from a spicebush on December 14, 2011.
- Conservator dated the paper to the 1880s-1890s and the sheet itself is dated December 1891.
- The sheet lists twelve people at one address; eleven later appear in an Episcopal baptism in January 1892.
- Circuit court docket from December 1891 names Judge Walter Fosse and records the outcome “Matter resolved by removal.”
- The courthouse case file was destroyed in a 1923 annex fire; no deed, plat, or census schedule in county records lists Sallow Lane.
