Obituary: Hetty Jane "Jean" Swindall Sutherland: Source: Obituary in Dickenson Star, 5/7/2004. Hetty Jean Swindall Sutherland Local Genealogist and Historian, Hetty Sutherland, of Clintwood, Dickenson County, Virginia, died June 6, 2004; at the age of 102. Hetty was born December 14, 1901 to Milburn Eddie and Ardelia Austin Swindall in a log cabin at Osborns Gap (now Norland), Virginia, north of Pound River and "South of the Mountain" in Dickenson County. Her early education was at a one-room log school house. She attended "Big Seven" School in Clintwood where she boarded seven miles from her home and walked home and back each weekend. After one year of "Big Seven" School, she passed the state teacher's examination and then taught grades one through seven at a one room school house; 1 year at Camp Creek & 1 at Honey Camp. In 1921 she went to Fort Worth, TX where she took a six month course at the National Business School.

Her first business job was secretary to Lawyer John Flannagan, later Congressman for the 9th District of Virginia. In 1926 she married Elihu Jasper Sutherland, lawyer, judge, historian and genealogist and settled at their home "Sunset Hill" in Clintwood where he lived until his death in 1964 and where she lived the rest of her life. Hetty was a charter member of the Southwest Virginia Historical Society (served as treasurer for over 20 years), the Dickenson County Home Demonstration Club and the Dickenson County Historical Society, which honored her by establishing the "Hetty Swindall Sutherland Archives" at the Johnny Deel County Library in Clintwood. She was a member of the Sandy Basin Historical Society, the Mountain People and Places, and the Clintwood Senior Citizens. In 1978 she compiled, supplemented and published her late husband's information on the Counts family and related families in Some Descendants of John Counts of Glade Hollow (Southwest Virginia) 1722-1977 & in 2003 published a larger supplement to this book.

In 1984 Hetty, with Gregory and Joan Short Vanover, published Pioneer Recollections, personal interviews with pioneer citizens of Dickenson County collected, compiled and edited by her late husband. In 1996 she published Swindall-Austin Families of Virginia and North Carolina 1622-1995, information she had collected, compiled and edited on these and other related families. With her vast and intimate knowledge of family and relatives, her remarkable recall, and her tireless efforts; persons asking local authorities in Clintwood about local area or family history were routinely referred to her by the Post Office, Library, County Officers, members of the Senior Citizens Center and Historical Society members. Hetty is survived in death by a sister, Lora Anita "Betty" Swindall Hibbitts of Clintwood; two sons William Sutherland and his wife Thora McElrath Sutherland, St. Paul, VA; James Sutherland and his wife Marjorie Ann Pearson Sutherland, Clintwood, VA; two grand-children Sharon Sutherland of Georgia, and Susanne Sutherland and her husband Micheal Frame, and her great-grandchildren April Beth Frame and Ian Sutherland Frame of Telluride, Colorado.

Source: Vivian Bales, Lebanon, OH (27 Dec. 1997). "William Sutherland's mother was Phoebe Fuller, also an old Scotch family. Phoebe's parents were Jesse and Betsy (Lea) Fuller. They had brought her as a child out of North Carolina, when they came to make their home on the north banks of the Clinch River, only a few miles west of the Sutherland cabin at Carbo among the Blairs, Counts, Grizzle, Jessee, Kiser, Smith, and other pioneer families."
