Hello, friends, and families in my tree!! Charles and Serena were married in 1830, according to some information in my files, but Nancy Irene McLAUGHLIN was b. June 22, 1844, and in the settlement of the estate of her grand father, in the TUBB family, she is the only survivor of her mother, without other siblings. This pair of parents were married for 14 years, before any children were conceived. And apparently, Serena expired when Nancy was born. Quite unique, as I see it, but that is what the record shows. Or, do I have some error in my records? Charles is said to have been born in North Carolina, but nothing is known of where, in that state. Serena was b. in Perry Co., where her TUBB family had already been living for some time, having migrated from South Carolina, earlier in the 1800's. I hope to discover older members of the MCLAUGHLIN family, in North Carolina, but I have no idea where to look! Can anyone help? Thanks for any information. Joe DUKE
