That server is planned to be used as the upgrade to the current www.rootsweb.com server. The old www.rootsweb.com will replace the current mailhub.rootsweb.com, which in turn will become a dedicated DNS/MX server: nothing ever goes to waste at RootsWeb.

I am seeking information about George Newton and Nancy Ann Moore, husband and wife, who raised their family in Duplin County, NC. George and three brothers settled near Newton's Cross Roads in New Hanover, NC about 1700; and probably came from Massachusetts, according to the book Aldermans in America. After her husband's death in 1810, Nancy Ann Moore moved with her son Samuel to Screven Co, GA, where she drew land as the widow of a Revolutionary War soldier in the 1827 Land Lottery. She died at Samuel's home about 1830. Nancy Moore's father may have come directly from Ireland according to the same book. I have not been able identify the parents of either George Newton or his wife Nancy Ann Moore. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
