Fleming Brown II
Fleming Brown II
Fleming Brown II was born in 1859 in Hanover County, VA to Fleming Brown I (1830-1869) and Rachael Brown (1830-). He grew up in Hanover County with his siblings, Mary Brown (1856-), Julia Brown (1862-), and Lucy Brown (1865-).
The family was living in Hanover County when Fleming Brown I died of consumption on March 25, 1869.
Following Fleming I's death, the family moved to Henrico County where his sister, Mary, began to work in domestic service. Fleming II later moved to York County, VA. He appears to have been baptized at the First Baptist Church in Williamsburg upon moving to the area.

Bettie Hundley
Bettie Hundley
As great-grandson Kenneth Haywood wrote, Bettie Hundley "lived a very ordinary, yet...memorable life. Born April 9, 1865, she began life as a free Black woman. The Emancipation Proclamation had been signed in 1863 and the Civil War ended the year of her birth." Bettie (sometimes reported as Betsy) was the eldest child of Anthony and Octavia (Redcross) Hundley.

On August 23, 1883,
Fleming Brown II and Bettie Hundley were married.
Fleming Brown II was a farmer and oysterman, and Bettie cared for their home and family. In 1900, the couple was renting a home in the Reservation. They later came to own 23.55 acres of land and lived in the two-story home pictured here.
The family lived in the Mint Hill area of the Reservation community. Great-grandson Kenneth Haywood recorded recollections of Bettie and Fleming shared by a Mint Hill neighbor, Mrs. Lula Lee. Mrs. Lee recalled that Bettie "was a devoted church worker and was quite active in community affairs." Bettie and Fleming "were highly respected and were renowned for their generosity. Mrs. Lee remembers that they both frequently visited the sick and they never hesitated to help anyone in need." Bettie was "a happy woman and always encouraged others she knew."

Bettie Brown remarried to William Taliferro, son of James and Patty Taliferro. Annie and Fleming III were living with the couple in 1910. William was a farmer and owned a farm in the Reservation.

At this time, Fleming II and Bettie's daughter, Annie B. Brown (later Annie Jones), studied to become a public school teacher. As Alexander Lee recalled in a news article, the whole community pitched in to send her to Hampton Institute to study. She then returned to teach in the Reservation community.

Annie B. Brown may have taught at the Mill Pond School, which was located in the Charles Corner neighborhood. Annie married Allen Jones on August 8, 1918 in York County. Allen was the son of Peyton and Sarah Jones and grandson of Eastman Isham Jones.

As Fleming III came of age, he began working as a coachman for a private family, according to 1910 census records.
He then began to farm. In 1910, Fleming III purchased 13 acres of land from his sisters, which they appear to have inherited from their father when he died and Fleming III was still a minor. It was considered a family transaction and he paid just $50. He began cultivating this land. In 1919, he purchased another two acres from Junius Byrd, paying $100 an acre cash.
On January 4, 1916, Fleming III married Susie Brown (August 16, 1893-May 31, 1983) in York County.

Together, Fleming III and Susie had seven children, two of whom died very young:
Beatrice Brown (1915 - 1916) who died at just one year of age.
Gladys Brown (October 15, 1917 -September 26, 2015)
Edna Mae Brown (February 27, 1920 - December 23, 2001)
Walter Lewis Brown (July 14, 1922 - January 16, 2006)
Monie Brown (1925 - 1925) who died at birth.
Marian Elizabeth Brown (May 17 1927 - August 4, 1989)
Charles Fleming Brown (March 23, 1930 - May 31, 2009)
Just as Fleming III began to make his mark as a farmer, in 1918, the U.S. government announced that it would be commandeering the land in the Reservation to build the Navy Mine Depot. Residents of the Reservation circulated a Prayer Petition, asking the government for more time to relocate. These signatures on the petition appear to be those of Fleming Brown III, on behalf of his wife Susie and one living child at the time, Gladys, and his mother Bettie's husband, William Taliferro.

Bettie Brown Taliferro and her son Fleming Brown III also gave testimonies to the U.S. government's Board on the Valuation of Commandeered Property, regarding the value of their property in the Reservation. Below is an abstract of their testimony.

As the family awaited the news of when they would be displaced from their land, Bettie Brown Taliferro faced another loss. On April 16, 1919, her second husband, William Taliferro, died. Bettie was working as a washerwoman at this time.
Bettie rebuilt her life again as she was pushed off the Reservation. She married Billy Washington and was employed in domestic service for a family in Williamsburg.
As great-grandson Kenneth Haywood wrote, "widowed three times, Grandma Bettie spent her last years in a house built for her beside her youngest child, Fleming. She lived in the "Little House", as we now call it, until her death on June 11, 1939. Ironically, her life began at the end of one war (Civil War) and ended at the beginning of another (World War II)."

Upon leaving the Reservation, Annie continued her parents' legacy of service to the community through her career as a public school teacher. She taught in the Williamsburg public schools for many years before joining the faculty of the Virginia State School for the Deaf and the Blind in Hampton in 1943. She also furthered her education, receiving a bachelor of science degree in 1939 and a master of science degree in special education in 1950, both from Hampton Institute.
Her work as an educator at the Virginia State School was so revered that a new girl's dormitory was named in her honor, dedicated in 1964 as "Annie Bell Jones Hall."
She also was a leader in the community, heading the Baptist Interracial Group and vacation Bible schools in Williamsburg and surrounding communities and serving as church organist and Sunday School teacher and program director.

After the family was forced to move off the Reservation, Fleming Brown III came to work for Colonial Williamsburg. He served as Head Custodian in the most famous historic building, the Governor's Palace.

Fleming Brown III became a well-known figure in Colonial Williamsburg and was chosen to represent the organization for many events, from radio broadcasts to the Governor's Conference. In 1941, Fleming Brown had the distinct honor of posing for renowned artist Salvador Dali when he came to Williamsburg to work on a composition incorporating the Governor’s Palace as part of a design for the cover of Town and Country magazine. An article in the September 1941 issue of the Colonial Williamsburg News relates that Mr. Brown handled the unique assignment well as he was “…the only person in Williamsburg who wasn’t slightly confused by the Surrealist painter…” and “…posed twice for Dali with his usual aplomb.”

Fleming Brown III and Susie Brown's Children
Fleming and Susie Brown's children carried on the legacy of their parents and grandparents first forged in the Reservation community.
Fleming and Susie's daughter, Gladys Brown (October 15, 1917 -September 26, 2015) graduated from the James City County Training School, continued her education at Virginia State College, and received an undergraduate degree from Hampton Institute. She later completed a Master's Degree in Reading Instruction from New York University.
Gladys became an educator, first teaching in Charles City County and then in the Williamsburg-James City County (WJCC) Schools, primarly at the Bruton Heights School. It was here that she met Wilbur L. Hunter (May 2, 1921-August 31, 2019), son of Efner and Ethel Hunter. Wilbur began teaching at Bruton Heights in 1952 as a 7th grade teacher, assistant coach in football and basketball, and head baseball coach. In 1954, the Bruton Heights baseball team won the only state championship in the school's history, under Wilbur's leadership. In December 1954, the couple married.

In 1964, before full school integration began in WJCC Schools, Gladys was chosen to forge faculty integration through a team-teaching experiment at Rawls Byrd (now Laurel Lane) Elementary. In 1965, Gladys was selected as an educator for a new reading program in the Newport News City School System, where she stayed until her retirement in 1979.
When full integration began in Williamsburg-James City County schools in 1968, Wilbur was promoted to assistant principal of James Blair High School. In 1969, he returned to the now integrated Bruton Heights School as principal.

Upon her retirement, Gladys and Wilbur moved to Karlsuhe, Germany. Wilbur took a position as Education Services Officer for the U.S. Army, and Gladys set up the first reading program in an American High School for the Department of Defense Dependents School. The couple also travelled extensively in their retirement, to Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America.
At home, the couple were members of St. Augustine’s Episcopal Church. Gladys was an appointee to the Newport News Sister Cities Commission (now Sister Cities of Newport News, Inc.) and an emeritus member of the Hampton-Newport News Chapter of Chums, Inc. Wilbur continued to work for a few more years as an Education Specialist, developing an enhanced learning program for 21 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) that host Reserve Officer Training Corps programs.

Fleming and Susie's daughter, Edna Mae Brown (1920 - December 23, 2001), attended the James City County Training School and Virginia State College (University). She married John F. Haywood Sr. (November 29, 1916-March 19, 1997) on March 3, 1943 in Williamsburg, VA.
John was born in Gary, Indiana to Essie and John H. Haywood. He grew up in Whaleyville and Portsmouth, VA before moving to Williamsburg in 1937. He attended Hamption Institute (now University) and was sent by the Institute to Williamsburg where he served as a counselor in the Civilian Conservation Corps. John also served his country honorably as a Sergeant in the U.S. Army.
Edna and John had three children: Linda M. Haywood, John F. Haywood Jr., and Kenneth O. Haywood.

Edna Haywood played an important role during the Civil Rights era in Williamsburg. She broke the color barrier in a number of segregated businesses. She first worked at Hall's Drug Store and then was the first Black sales clerk at Rose's Department Store on Duke of Gloucester Street. She also was a pioneer in integrating the Williamsburg banks. She was employed as a teller by Peninsula Bank and Trust (SunTrust) and was promoted to head teller. She faced racial bias as she broke these barriers but was determined to succeed.
She later became an entrepreneur. She taught herself to be a seamstress and designed 18th century bonnets to sell at a local drug store. She also put these skills to work as a member of a quilting club. The club and its work were featured in the book A Communion of Spirits: African-American Quilters, Preservers, and Their Stories by Ronald Freeman and in an exhibit featured at the Arts and Industries Building at the Smithsonian Institute and at Hampton University Museum in 1999.

As his family writes, "Known to most as Chef Haywood, John retired from Colonial Williamsburg after thirty-nine years of service. While at Colonial Williamsburg, he served in many capacities within the hotel and restaurant division, among them Executive Chef at the Motor House Cafeteria. He retired in 1980 as Personnel Coordinator for hotels and restaurants. He was also instrumental in developing the two-year Apprentice Cook's Program in 1962, where he served as its first director. The first graduating class of this program was in October of 1964."
John was an active member of St. John Baptist Church and served on its Trustee Board and several Committees. He was also a member of Maceo Consolidated Lodge No. 124, life member of the NAACP, and member of the Virgina Chefs Association.
He passed away on March 19, 1997.

Fleming and Susie's son, Walter Lewis Brown (1922 - 2006) served his country honorably in World War II during which he was stationed in the Philippines. He later provided many years of dedicated service to the Fort Eustis Transportation Center until his retirement. Walter married Sadie Marie Crup on December 2, 1958 in Williamsburg, VA. The couple had two children, Lois and Walter Jr.
Following his retirement, he used his transportation skills to serve others as a driver for a community service agency in Williamsburg. In his retirement, he found joy in cooking for his grandchildren, playing dominoes, and constructing jigsaw puzzles.

Fleming and Susie's daughter, Marian Elizabeth Brown was born on May 17, 1929 in Williamsburg, VA and departed this life on August 29, 1989, in Willingboro NJ.
Marian was the middle child born to Fleming Brown and Susie Brown. At an early age, she joined Saint John Baptist Church in Williamsburg. She participated in various church activities throughout the years.
Marian was a graduate of Bruton Heights High School in Williamsburg. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Virginia Union University in Richmond, VA.
She married Walter King on August 9, 1954, and this union produced a son Willard King (Willingboro NJ) and a daughter Debra (King) Rice (Edgewater Park NJ), and several grand/great grandchildren. Marian and her husband Walter, who had a career with the military, had an opportunity to travel the world and live in several different states. After being stationed at the Fort Dix Army Base in Ft. Dix, NJ, they finally established residence in Willingboro, NJ in the mid-60s.
As a lifelong resident of Willingboro, NJ, Marian was an active member of the Parkway Baptist Church where she served as a Sunday School teacher and lent her gifts to other youth-oriented activities.
Marian was also a teacher at Howard L. Emmons School in Pemberton, NJ where she taught kindergarten for twenty-three years. She enjoyed her profession and made every effort to meet the needs of the many students she was blessed to teach.
