the only place the "black sheep" link took me to was Ancestors.com

http://blacksheepancestors.com/usa/north_carolina.shtml It lists people who were executed for crimes in North Carolina. It's a bit macabre, but interesting nonetheless.

There is a marvelous new project on the NC Archives site - NC Reports - which are the annual reports by the NC Supreme Court. Until having to take a break for moving, my project was these cases as there are numerous wills, deeds etc in some of them. Hope to get back too them soon. For those of you not familiar with the Reports, be aware that the report gives the highlights and the legal basis for the case - to obtain the genealogical information you have to go to the individual case and hope there is some juicy information. In the folder you might find one piece of paper or several inches and you hope for the latter. http://www.rootsweb.com/~archcrtc/ Martha

Leonard Franklin Sutton, Sr. passed away this morning in Richmond, VA. Details of the service are not complete at this time. Possibly will be Friday in Greenville, NC. Leonard was the husband of Geralene "Geri" Mills Sutton. Leonard was very supportive of his wife's work in the Pitt County Historical Society, Red Banks Preservation Committee and Pitt County Family Researchers. We extend our sympathy to Geri and her family. Please keep this family in your prayers. Bill

A Big THANKS Betsy for transcribing the Edwards Marriages. The one entry for Sarah Edwards and Thomas Bright gave me the name of a great great great grandmother and told me why I was finding my Sarah Edwards Gardner listed as Sarah Bright in some places. You never know what wonderful bits of information you will find in the Quarterly and I look forward to receiving every one. Thanks for all the hard work everyone so willingly gives to compile the Quarterlies. Merry Christmas to All.......Judy Nobles Lewis

Don't go by the averages. My mother (age 90) knew a woman from around Belvoir, who had her last child at 54. Mother still remembers the lady's name. My grandmother, Martha Woolard Harris, had her 17th child at age 44. She had one child three months before her 40th birthday and three more after the age of 40. My other grandmother, Lucy Ayers Roberson had her 9th child at the age of 44. She had two after the age of 40. I believe people lived healthier lives and were fertile longer then than now.

Dear Bill: The listing that you gave me re: St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Washington gave me many new dates and a few names. In other words it was great to get. There was a Mary Ann Gambreleng and an Ann Cambreleng listed - it is my guess that one of these is in error and Cambreleng rings a bell for me, but could be wrong. Also, Ann Blount Meyers is listed - probably this should be Ann Blount Myers (spelling of last name) who was a daughter of John Brewster Myers and Mary Harvey (Polly) Blount and the dates I have for her are consistent for her months and day but 1830 instead of 1850. Ann died before she reached one year old - but had she been born in 1850, her mother would have been 44 - mighty old in those days to still be having children - so I am guessing that that is erroneuous. Thank you so much for taking the time (I sure hope you didn't go to all the trouble to type this up from scratch ) to get this information to me. As I may have mentioned, I am going to go by St. Peter's one of these days and see what I can find about what they have documented - and will get that to you. Thanks again - you certainly are generous with your time, your researches, and the Genealogists in Pitt County and very lucky indeed to have you. John

There is a book in Sheppard Library at Greenville written by Ralp W. Donnelly concerning this parish. Early 1800 information. It is The Parish of St. John the Evangelist located in Washington. It mentions in it the Catholics of Washington. There are listings of births, deaths and other information. Most of these names were different than those found in the old cemetery at Washington. I am sure Brown Library in Washington would have a copy of this also. Bill

I reread a letter that my Aunt from Pitt County wrote to me. One of my ancestors was Mary Lula Tyson b. 1866 d. 1937. Her husband was Willie Baker. They were married in Beaverdam. Here is an excerpt of that letter. Can anyone help me identify these Tysons? There were several cousins of my Grandmother. Cousin Will, Cousin Charlie, Cousin Sam? They were brothers. I remember visiting them as a child. I don't know their father's name. They were still living around 1930s.

There were no DANIEL or LANE buried there. A lot of young children, at least 50% of the burials. The larger number of the family names were Myers, Brown, Foreman, Havens, Holmes, Singletary. Bill
