Do you know if there is birth records that I could find and maybe go further back? Skydancer Yes there are some for later years. I dont think so for the earlier years, but best to check it out. I plan to go check it out this summer for my Ggrandmother MAMMIE LEE, now that I know who her parents were. Sampson County records burned (I believe in the civil war, but Johnston County has a good supply. The Johnston County Heritage Center site has search capabilities for Marriage bonds, Census, News, 1902 voter records, obits & more. on it. http://www.johnstonnc.com/mainpage.cfm?category_level_id=727 Here is what came up on the Marriage Bond search: ID: 1900 Groom: Collins, Zachariah Bride: Beaman, Welthy Date of Marriage Bond: October 08, 1802 Bondsmen and Officials: Zachariah x Collins Isaac x Beaman R. Sanders (W) There are a couple of BEAMANs that married into our STRICKLAND line of Johnston & Sampson Counties.

Let me dig out what I have. Sky Sky, It wouldn't surprise me if they were related. Ours were peculiar (in relation to the Anglo settlers in the fact they repeatedly married into the same families)- ie: in my lines / branches: STRICKLAND + LEE; STRICKLAND + STRICKLAND; LEE + LEE; WESTBROOK + WESTBROOK; WESTBROOK +LEE; WESTBROOK + TART; TART + LEE etc... AND it seems that the next gen married their cousins and so forth. I have been told they did not trust "outsiders". My theory is it was due to the Native Am-Cherokee lineage, keeping it going. Nancy
