Attachment DeletedI came across this on newspapers.com. This is from a 1937 Times Dispatch in Richmond. I believe this is the man who Ike Godsey's character was based on.

Didn't a Charlie Snead call JohnBoy, Sprocket on the Hunt episode? I think you are correct. Charlie Snead started calling John Boy “Sprocket” when he was just a wee little baby, according to John. Also, Charlie Snead (played by William Windom) was the “Robin Hood Bandit” in The Homecoming. He stole hams and turkeys and gave them to needy people. He also let John Boy borrow his car.

The first time I visited Schuyler in 1988, prior to the Walton's Mountain Museum, I stopped at the Snead's Store.

I believe many local Schuyler names found their way into The Waltons. I know that when I went to the museum, I was looking at pictures of people who had graduated from the school. I recognized many names as Waltons characters. Of course I can't remember them now. 🙄 But I think one of them was Verdie.
