A GUIDE TO THE USE OF RECORDS AS "PROOFS" "Proofs" are those records which are used to literally prove one's ancestry. The most often used records are: A. Wills B. Deeds and Land Grants (Land Grants were the first deeds issued by the U.S. Government to the first owners of a particular piece of property.) C. Birth Records D. Marriage Records E. Death Records F. Church Records G. Census Records H. Emigration Records I. Military and Pension Records, including widow's pensions J. Bible Records K. Newspaper Records L. Cemetery Records (tombstones/headstones) Which records you want to search depends on what information you are trying to find. The following may help you to decide: IF YOU WANT TO FIND: SEARCH IN: Birth Dates C, D, F, G, I, J, K, L Marriage Dates D, F, I, J, K Death Dates A, E, F, I, J, K, L Parents of a Person A, C, D, F, G, K, I, J Wife's Maiden Name D, G, I, K, L Where a Person came from B, C, E, H, I (If using B, one has to guess, and then hunt in the area guessed for a deed.)

I am looking for confirmation information pertaining to a Nancy HOWELL, born circa 1780 in NC who may have been the wife of Benjamin MEEKS, born circa 1780 in NC. This MEEKS family was listed in the 1810 Census of Edgecombe County, NC and they moved to Washington County, GA by approximately 1821. They were listed on the 1830 Census of Washington County, GA but I have been unable to find them listed anywhere in an 1820 Census. The first born male child of this marriage was named HOWELL MEEKS, born circa 1801 in NC, married an Elizabeth FULGHUM in Washington County, GA ad finally moved to Suwannee County, GA by about 1856. Benjamin MEEKS died in 1841 and Nancy (HOWELL?) MEEKS die din Washington County, GA on November 7, 1858. This family were members of the Bethlehem Baptist Church in Warthens, GA. The FULGHUM family of the HOWELL MEEKS/NANCY FULGHUM marriage were from teh Wayne County, NC. Does anyone have any information on a Nancy HOWELL that would correspond to this information? There are no known recorded marriages in the NC area for this family.

For HOWELL-L web page, see: http://members.aol.com/TreeCrazyD/howell_l.html I am looking to share info. on Grayson Co., VA Howells and White Co., TN Howells. I wonder if George Howell possibly father of John Howell who went to White County, TN. John Howell and brother Calvin went to White County in 1813. Both married their spouses in Grayson Co., VA. John married Nancy Brewer, and Calvin married Barbara Rhudy. There is a Rhudy-Brewer cemetery in Grayson County where some of the Howells are also buried. Some White County researchers believe that John Hamilton Howell from NC who fought in the Rev. War was John's father. A DAR marker is even there in his honor. I KNOW for a fact that John Hamilton Howell's son John went to Georgia, and even died there. I am looking to fix the White County problem and prove once and for all who the correct parents of John really are. Thanks to all who can help. Janel Woodbury cinebit@fiber.net
