Dear Don and Jeanine, Glad to hear from you, and learn the reason for your relative silence the past weeks. Congratulations on the expectancy, and hope all is going well with Jeanine. Your oldest must be near college age, so that is quite a spread. By the way, I didn't realize you were using present location in the database, so the data I sent you would mention that someone was born or died in Lincoln County before 1 Jan 1847, even though the land is in Gaston Co. today. Most marriage data for that period is from Lincoln County marriage bonds. There were two brief death notices in the Gastonia Gazette today, presumably with more information to follow tomorrow: Abel Robinson Lineberger, age 94, died 25 Nov 2000. Lewis(Louie) Richard Lineberger, age 79, died 24 Nov 2000. Obituary of Doris Anthony Beam, widow of James H. Beam. Died 24 Nov 2000 at age 69, in Montrose, AL. Survivors: son James H. Beam, Jr., and his wife Barbara, and two granddaughters: Catherine Elizabeth Beam and Charlotte Ann Beam. Burial will be in City Memorial Cemetery, Cherryville, Gaston County, NC. Take care.
