Does anyone have this census if so could you please lookup Thanks so much Evelyn 1870 Campbell, David Iredell County, NC pg 212 Union Grove Township Nc Federal Census

Dear Betty, I knew about the records for St. Michaels and downloaded them which is where I found out about William and his children, Abner, & Ruffus. I also got the books from Irene Clanton Blank of cemetery records (including St. Michaels). Although, they gave me a lot of info., I still could not tie my Mary Ann Mills into any of them, including Charles Nathaniel and Richard W. I have tons of stuff on the Mills, but nothing (other than the St. Michaels records) for my Mary Ann. I found a cousin online who is supposed to be sending me more Mills info. (that was 2 wks. ago). I thank you for your help and will indeed check out the Troutman website. Thanks.

Dear Janis, I started a more extensive reply to your request and then my server disconnected me and although the memo was still there, all was frozen. So will try to make this more brief, but will hit the "high points." You possibly have already found the St. Michael's and St. Martin's Lutheran Church records on line. If not, I think you will find a great deal of information there, and possibly your answer to your brick wall-- Go to the following web site: http://www.iredell.com/mikes.htm There are three books for St. Michaels -- B (1839 -1949), C (1850), and D (Renewed 1868) The very first reference I found was in Book B, p. 2 -- The deed was given by Michael Walcher in September 1823 to the trustees, Charles Mills, Martin Harkey, William Lippard ....." There are references for Mills all throughout this book - communcants lists, memberships list. Also, a number of Bass family members. Page 2 also mentions a list of names of the members who communed at the very first communion at the new St. Michael's in 1815 -- "Then following was a list of names beginning with Charles N. Mills and wife, Elizabeth. This list contained twenty names." and continues .... Book C has a more of what you are looking for: Archabale Bass confirmed by Rev. Anthony (p. 19) - many Mills baptisms and a few deaths. Book D is the largest book - p. 2 says that the property for the new St. Michael's Church in Troutman was donated by Dr. R. W. Mills and wife Mary Mills (along with several others) - purchased for $1 - record dated 1885. The church was built in 1886. Members listed in 1868 -- include Mary A. Bass and Archable Bass. (p.6). On pages 4 & 5 there are references to the Trustees Martin Harker, Charles Mills and William Lippard --- which goes back to the original purchase of land for the original church building in 1823. Page 15 shows Archibale Bass removed by letter -- and a Mary "Jane" Bass to Concord Presbyterian church. There are many Mills in the membership lists -- William, Joseph M. Sara Ann, Charlotte, and Sarah E. (Likewise in the earlier books - some that you reference) and also a baptism or two. Likewise there are some Sherrills, too. I hope all of this will be of help. I know it was a thrill for me to find my ggrandfather's confirmation and my grandfather's confirmation in the St. Michael's records - also the baptism and confirmation of my ggrandmother in the St. Martin's records before the two churches merged. She was a Lippard -- a descendent of the William Lippard mentioned above. There are probably many more Mills references that I overlooked in my quick search. There are also copies of a Troutman family history by Thomas L. Troutman at the web site: http://www.coe.uh.edu/~troutman/gene/DJL/ Interesting reading even if you don't have any Mills family members who are part of the Troutman clan. I found my ggrandfather's wife in those pages - she was a Troutman - died during the Civil War. That was also a thrill. I wish you well in your search for the Mills -- last fall we visited Iredell County and visited the St. Mark's cemetery and the Troutman family cemetery, as well as the old St. Michael's cemetery in Troutman. I'm sure you have discovered in your search that both churches combined to become Holy Trinity Lutheran in Troutman - we visited there, also. There are still records there for St. Michael's and St. Martins, too, I believe. We had a brief glimpse -- as another of our distant relatives was there searching, also. Good Luck!

I am still looking for information regarding the parents of my g-gradfather: Franklin Alexander ALLISON Born 15 March 1840 in Statesville, NC (Irdell County) Married Mary Bond NEAL (b. 1843 in MS) on 22 April 1861 in Hazelhurst, (Copiah Co.) MS. Attested to by Mr. Rollhenstein, Rector of Epiphany Church, Claiborne Co, MS. Mary was the daughter of Benjamin Rush NEAL and Catherine Rosetta Unknown, (both born in PA, but living in Hazelhurst). In 1860 he was living with his older brother Adam ALLISON: 1860 CENSUS of COPIAH CO., MS, page 949, 1231/1240 Adam Lafayette ALLISON; 29; Publisher of Paper; b. NC Mary Frances (HATCH) ALLISON; 23; Printer; b. MS Franklin Alexander ALLISON; 20; NC I am seeking any information regarding the above. I cannot find "any" information regarding Franklin and Adam ALLISON's parents, nor the maiden name of Mary Bond NEAL's mother, Rosetta. Any help would be most appreciated. Karima

I have been absorbing all the info. from some back copies of the Iredell County Tracks, and am wondering if anyone can give me any information on W.W. Sheppard, Iredell Co? In the 1810 May term of Court of Pleas, etc. W.W. Sheppard was an exer. for the will of Anthony Lawson. Is this the William Sheppard who was listed in the 1800 census for Iredell Co? I would appreciate any leads. Thanks, Marlene

After purchasing almost every book available on Iredell Co., I still have been unable to locate the parents of Mary Ann Mills (20 Jan 1834 - 25 Jan 1887) that married Archibald Bass (Jr.?) (22 Sept 1828 - 16 Dec 1895) on 30 Aug 1849. She attended St. Michaels Lutheran Church before transfering to Concord Presby. with her husband. I had originally thought she was the dau. of one of Charles Nathaniel Mills' sons, but am not so sure now. The men I have found at St. Michaels that are old enough to be her father are William (Charles Nathaniel's William ??), Abner, and Rufus. I cannot link these men to Charles Nathaniel's line. Most of those Mills attended St. James Lutheran, but there is reference made to C. N. in church records. I am up a brick wall here. Can anyone help? Thanks. Janis Sherrill Ghrairi

Just wanted to say that Irene Black did some research work for me in the past and she was GREAT. I think it's always nice when someone can offer a reference, so I wanted to put in my two cents on the professional and courteous service Irene provided to me. Nina MORTON T.

I received the following message today. Thank you very much, Sandy. Thought it might be of interest to some others on the list. bonnie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here is the e-mail address of a lady and her husband that can help you. They have books of Iredell County Cemeteries. They are: Iredell County North Carolina Cemeteries (Seven Volumes) (60,709 names) Compiled by Russell C.

Even though supplied with many references from Irene Clanton Black's books by a wonderful NC genealogist, I am still at a brick wall tracing my grandfather, Louis Clarke. Known: he and his brother Henry lived in Statesville from around 1890 through about 1910-1915. Both lived on Water Street. Louis owned a cigar factory and Henry was his salesman. Louis had only one child, my father, but Henry had 7 who survived: Emile, Soloman, Carrie, Miriam, Samuel, Ida, and Corrine. The first 4 were born in SC and the rest in Statesville. The cigar factory burned around 1910, as in 1913 Mrs. Henry Clarke lived in Richmond, VA and Louis and his family moved to NY. Both Louis and Henry lived in SC before moving to Statesville, and both were born in Germany. Family lore says their name was Schreiber originally. Would love to contact any descendants of Henry or get any scrap on information that would help uncover when and from where these two came to the US. A. L. Clarke

Davie County (NC) Cemeteries, Volumes I and II are now available from the Davie County Historical and Genealogical Society for $45.00, postage and handling included. NC residents should add 6% sales tax. Over 150 family, church and community cemeteries have been surveyed, and approximately 18,000 names are recorded. Names are listed alphabetically by surname in each cemetery, with any available data such as family relationships, grave marker inscriptions, and dates. Directions to each cemetery are also included, and each volume is fully indexed. Has anyone bought the above book? Do you recommend the book? Can you tell me if Bear Creek Baptist Church Cemetery Inscriptions are listed? Also the directions to the Church? I plan to visit the area soon and I also am interested in purchasing the book if it lists Bear Creek Cemetery Inscriptions. I am searching for Cain, Steelman, Hutchins, Reavis, Beeman, Holman, Little, Harkey, Cheshire, in Davie County, NC. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, BCain Henrich
