> Where do you find him in the 1790 -1840 Census? > > bob gillis <robertgillis@verizon.net> Bob, the man was found enumerated by name 1800 Duplin County, NC and so far that is the only census record. According to tax records he was considered too old to pay poll taxes in 1808 and that Duplin County tax record is the last time he was found in any NC State Archives record. and from Bob: Look in Duplin, Wayne and New Hanover county land records. At the NC State Archives we have checked deeds, wills/probate to include cross-reference of possible allied families when available, military (he participated in the Battle of Moores Creek and re-enlisted in the Revolutionary War for a period of time), marriage. Thanks for the advice to check New Hanover, Wayne and Duplin. We have checked as written above, all extant Sampson and Duplin County, NC records found at the State Archives. What other sources might we check in effort to determine ownership of 450A in 1784? All help appreciated. Barbara Mac "Barbara McLeod" <1brown1blue@gmail.com>
