This is for the people that grew up in Greene County and others that may have known Earl. Earl had a massive heart attach this morning and went to Heaven. We, his family are very distressed and it is such a big loss for us. Please pray for all of his family. Earl was born Feb 28 1935, son of Carl & Maebell Johnson Clemmons. He grew up in the Greene County area of Harrell's Chapel. I can be reached at 252 230 8715. Have a blessed day Linda Melvin

So sorry to hear of his passing. Had he been ailing? He was the only person on the list that I have ever had the pleasure to meet, I think. On my one and only trip to the courthouse, I was down in the basement and came across him doing research, it was nice since he and I had Emailed each prior to this. So, when I introduced myself he remembered me, and how we were related. He helped me find what I was looking for even though it was one of the few lines of which he and I were not related through. So I feel sorry for the rest of you who were more close with him. He was a neat guy!!! Lisa Wallendorf Scarola

Allen Churchill , I don't know where to start ; will be missed most assuredly by this writer who is also distant kin, it will be tough to attend our monthly PCFR meetings of which I looked forward to going by early in the morning and doing research up to the start of the meetings; the numerious times we have sharied not only in doing family research ; but in family functions as well ; the many, many times we planned various trips together in finding documents that related to families,some of those trips carring us up to 200 hundred there and back on occasions, the numerious tales and laughs we had along the way in; even in stopping at restaurants along the way to grab a bite to eat we have helped people to get started in finding there families . Both of our wives often remarked that we spent more time with one another than we did with them ; not only on the road but the phone also ; talking to him up to twenty times a day on ocasions when we were on a hot trail of som! eones family, why we even talked about running our personal phone line fom my house to his and even laughted at this thought as well. He showed me where at and how to find documents that I had no inking of how to find. Our motto as well as many others : Don't ever give up. As kin , friend, teacher and fellow researcher Mr. Allen will most assuredly be missed by me . Donald Lee Cooper.

It wish to express my deepest sympathy to the Churchill family on the passing of a very dear friend. Allen was always willing to help other researchers. At my first PCFR reunion in 1998, it was Allen that graciously helped me locate the names of my first ancestors I did not know. He was always a kind and helpful friend. May God be with the Churchill family and comfort them in their time of sorrow. Garland Briley8 _____________________________________________________________ Netscape. just the net you need

"And Their Eyes Were My Eyes" "I saw behind me those who had gone, and before me those who are to come, I looked back and saw my father, and his father, and all our fathers, and in front to see my son, and his son, and the sons upon sons beyond. And their eyes were my eyes. As I felt, so they had felt and were to feel, as then, so now, as tomorrow and forever. Then I was not afraid, for I was in a long line that had no beginning and no end, and the hand of his father grasped my father's hand, and his hand was in mine, and my unborn son took my right hand, And all, up and down the line that stretched from Time That Was to Time That Is, and Is Not Yet, raised their hands to show the link, And we found that we were one, born of Woman, Son of Man, made in the Image, fashioned in the Womb by the Will of God, the Eternal Father." — Richard Llewellyn, from "How Green Was My Valley"

My thoughts and prayers are with Allen's family during this time of loss. We have all suffered a loss with his passing. Allen was certainly a very giving person. He gave me many generations of my Gardner/Gwaltney Family. He was always willing to share and help in any way possible and did it with such a sweet gentle spirit. Judy Nobles Lewis

I also need to add to Bill's brief eulogy on Allen Churchill and note of sympathy to his family. When I sent my initial feelers out across the Internet about my Pitt County family history about 5 yrs ago, Allen was one of the first to respond with real, concise and extremely helpful information... which coincidentally pointed that he and I were related along our Christman and Evans family lines. I was at first surprised, but now realize that being related is more the rule than the exception among this group! Allen's initial notes led me to more of his diligent research, enabling me to dig up (both figuratively and literally) many of my Pitt County roots going back more than 250 years... culminating most recently with a cemetery relocation project that (once again, it seems) included the remains of Evans ancestors that Allen and I have in common. The great thing about Allen's work, of course, is that it lives on to benefit many others for years to come. I'm sure his spirit is happy about that legacy right now, just as his ancestors must be welcoming, congratulating, and thanking him for a job well done! Prayers and sympathies go out to the family... as well as admiration and respect for the memory of a man who lived life well in the service of so many others.

Allen's passing leaves a huge void, not for just his family, but the many people he has helped over the years. He was always ready to answer questions and share with others the information he had found. He is the mainstay of Evans Family Research. When I first began my genealogy jouney, he was there to point me in the right direction and to spend time with me on how to search. Out thoughts go out to his family. Patsy Evans Tom Evans

I am so sorry to have to report to you that Allen Churchill has passed away. Allen, a former president of Pitt County Family Researchers, was such a gracious and generous person. He had many publications on the families of Pitt County and surrounding counties and was always very willing to help others searching families in this area. Allen will certainly be missed by our community. I will post the funeral arrangements as soon as I get this information. Brenda Stocks

Two articles from the Daily Reflector, 2/17/06 http://www.reflector.com Legendary barbecue master dead at 77 By Jane Welborn Hudson, The Daily Reflector Friday, February 17, 2006 When Walter B. "Pete" Jones accepted the Ayden Chamber of Commerce's Business of the Year Award for his legendary barbecue restaurant, The Skylight Inn, a couple of years ago, he said that when the people of Ayden were happy, he was happy. And when the people of Ayden were sad, he was sad. "Today, Ayden is sad," Mayor Stephen Tripp said. Jones, 77, died Wednesday. The Skylight Inn, which Jones and his family have operated for nearly 60 years, will be closed for his funeral, which will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at Elm Grove Free Will Baptist Church. But Jones' son, Bruce, nephew Jeff Jones and grandson Samuel Jones will continue his legacy of serving up the chopped eastern North Carolina-style vinegar-sauced barbecue which draws hordes of hungry patrons to Jones' popular restaurant, known nationally as the "capitol of barbecue." Many generations of Jones' family have been involved in the business of barbecue. Local legend has it that the pit-cooked pork that Pete Jones' great-great-grandfather, Skilton Dennis, sold out of a covered wagon in downtown Ayden in the early 1830s was the first barbecue offered for public sale in the state. When Jones was 8 years old, he began working with his uncle Emmit Dennis in his barbecue business. Jones opened The Skylight Inn in 1947, when he was only 19. "I started working with Pete and his brother, Robert, in the barbecue business when I was just a young boy," said Jones' cousin, Bum Dennis, proprietor of Bum's Restaurant in Ayden. "Pete spent his whole life working at The Skylight Inn, chopping barbecue and making friends and loyal customers." The cousins weren't rivals, despite owning barbecue restaurants in the same small Pitt County town. "Pete and I remained best of friends right on up to his death," Dennis said. "If he needed something, he came up and got it, and if I needed anything he would help me. We understood each other, understood business problems. "I've lost a good friend. He will be missed by the whole town." He'll also be missed by the people from around the country who love old-fashioned barbecue. Folks from far and near stopped by to get a tray of chopped barbecue –Jones chopped up every bit of the hog, from the tail to the snout – creamy coleslaw, a piece of flat, baked cornbread and a cold Pepsi-Cola. "It's amazing how many people from outside our community go to that barbecue place; people from Maryland and Tennessee and all over the place," said Mayor Tripp. Over the years, Jones and his barbecue were featured in such publications as National Geographic, Southern Living and People Magazine and on television programs on The Food Network and The Travel Channel. After being named "the capitol of barbecue," Jones added a flag-topped rotunda to the modest building. His restaurant also was named by the James Beard Foundation as a classic American eatery. He even went to the White House to serve barbecue to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. "Gosh, Pete was just one of those people who found success the hard and the old-fashioned way," said North Carolina barbecue expert Bob Garner, author of "North Carolina Barbecue: Flavored by Time." Garner said he was a big fan of The Skylight Inn's barbecue and of Jones. "He took great pride in doing it the old-fashioned way, cooking with oak wood and cooking the whole hog," the author said. "He knew the whole secret to good barbecue was cooking it slow over wood and getting it infused with that smoke flavor. "He told me that was all he wanted to do from the time that he was a little boy," Garner said. "A lot of people really go out kind of seeking the recognition of the world, but Pete stayed right there in Ayden his whole life and let the world beat a path to his door. He served presidents and other notables and in a little town like Ayden, that's not the easiest thing in the world to do, Garner said" But Tripp said there was much more to Jones than his barbecue. "What made his business was his character, his personality, his caring for people," the mayor said. "He gave a lot to our community. He did a lot of things for people who are less fortunate, in many ways that we don't even know about. He loved his family, he loved Ayden, he loved people." And he loved barbecue. Obituary Mr. Walter B. "Pete" Jones, 77, died at his home Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2006. The funeral will be conducted Saturday at 2 p.m. in the Elm Grove Free Will Baptist Church and burial will follow in the Dennis Family Cemetery officiated by the Rev. Bruce Jones, Dr. Frankie Baggett, and the Rev. Charles Branch. Pete was born March 10, 1928 to the late John William Jones and Josie Dennis Jones. When Pete was about 8 years old he started working with his uncle, Emmit Dennis in the barbecue business. On July 8, 1947 at the age of 19, Pete opened his own Barbecue business, The Skylight Inn, where his brother, Robert Jones joined him later as a partner. Pete was a member of Elm Grove F.W.B. Church, the Improved Order of Red Men, Woodman of the World, and N.C. Farm Bureau. Pete was active in The Skylight Inn for over 57 years before suffering a heart attack which forced him to retire in 2004. Pete and his barbecue have been featured in National Geographic, Southern Living, People Magazine, Tarheel Magazine, Our State Magazine, G.Q. Magazine, and a number of magazines and newspaper articles. Pete was presented the prestigious James Beard culinary award and featured on the Food Network and Travel Channel earning himself the title of "Barbecue King." He was preceded in death by his wife of 55 years, Emmy Lou Pierce Jones in December of 2005. He is survived by a daughter, JoAnn Wade and husband, C.J., of the home; son, the Rev. Bruce Jones and wife, Judy, of Ayden; sister, Gladys Beddard and husband, Walter; and brother, Robert L. Jones, all of Ayden; five grandchildren, J.D. Wade of Wilmington, Matthew Wade, Rachel Jones, Sarah Jones, and Samuel Jones, all of Ayden; and several nieces and nephews. The family will receive friends tonight from 7-9 at Elm Grove F.W.B. Church. The church is located at 5403 Weyerhaeuser Rd. Turn off NC 11 east on to Little Field Rd. beside Ayden-Grifton High School. The church is located at the end of the road. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Elm Grove F.W.B Church Building Fund, 5403 Weyerhaeuser Rd., Ayden, NC 28513 or to the Kings Cross Roads F.W.B .Church Building Fund, 2080 Seven Pines Rd., Fountain, NC 27829.

ATTENTION!!! If you were not up last night to catch the WITN Channel 7 news...the Confederate Monument on the Pitt County Court House lawn is being threatened!! A local man named Ozzie Hall is representing a group who wants to do away with the monument and the statue of the Confederate Veteran. They are trying to convince the Pitt County commissioners to act accordingly. Their plans are to have the monument removed from the premises by the end of summer and maybe place the statue of the Confederate Veteran in a local museum. This is not politics...to me...it is simply my desire to keep this monument as part of Pitt County's heritage. The monument was erected by the Citizens of Pitt County in 1914. When former NC Governor and Greenville citizen, Thomas J. Jarvis died in June of 1915, the populace of Greenville draped mourning ribbon and flowers around the monument in honor of Governor Jarvis's Confederate service. The monument honors our veterans and our heritage. Pitt County has been slow...even backward in honoring the memory of her Confederate veterans and so...I don't see the statue ever posing any kind of cultural endangerment to any groups or persons within this section of the state.

Dearm Paula THe male D.N.A. is to change about a half but the female has a set of D.N.A. that changes all except for one set of D.N.A. this is to say that your father has his grand father and his mother split in him their is one dorment gean in that you would think and the teeth are the carrier or bone marrow .Women have the oldest Gean in the world that can be traced back to Eve men can,t be traced back to Adam but one man has been tracde back to the stone age men and he live,s in England .

Here's my logic for William "E." Whichard being the husband of Elizabeth Harrison of Martin County. The 1870 Federal census has a William E. Whichard (b. C1845) married to Elizabeth (b. C1847) with a son named John who was born C1868. The birth date of Elizabeth and John coincide with the tombstone dates I have for them. Their son John was my great grandfather and his birthdate coincides with the dates I have for him through his tombstone and death certificate. I looked at Bob Moore's site as Bob Forbes suggested. It does look like my line is somehow linked to that one (given names like David and Julian have been used often in my family line). Since I'm stumped from this end I may try looking further back to see if I can work forward. Thanks for the help
