Jul session 1797 While researching my Gordon line, I found myself on a wild goose chase checking out the Fort and Sugg families of NC, and I remember finding the name of an in-law ~~ probably a daughter-in-law ~~ that related to my Edgecombe Co. Bloodworth line. Try as I might, I could never back-track and find that information again. I don't remember if the name was Deloach or Bloodworth, but I believe it was Bloodworth. My g-grandfather Timothy Bloodworth also settled in Robertson County in the 1840s. Does anyone recall any reference to a relationship by marriage between the NC Forts or Suggs and the NC Bloodworth and/or Deloach families? Thanks. Joyce
