Until recently, Floyd's son, William Vest, lived at the old homeplace. Floyd, being the strongest, physically, was kept home to farm, while Isaac was sent to school near Abingdon and was a teacher. His first school was in an old Ferguson house near Roscoe Willis' store. This was told by Wanda Vest, his daughter-in-law. Later the one-room school was built, known as the Vest school and probably named for its first teacher, Isaac Vest; better known as "Little Ike".1 He was born on June 14, 1829 at Franklin Co., Virginia. He married Lydia "Liddy" Wilson on April 17, 1852 at Floyd Co., Virginia.2,1 Abraham Vest died before 1865; Abraham was killed during the Civil War and the family knew nothing about where he was buried.1
