There have been several references to a book about the migration of colonists to and across the US on this list. I remembered the book as GIDEON'S SEED, but my library can find no reference to it. Please, what is the name of that book again? Jo ROBERSON Prytherch

What is Eustice, FL near? I have a casual friend in Cocoa, FL who may be able to give some info on how the Bible can be copied down there. Jo ROBERSON Prytherch

You might call the closest Genealogical Society for help. I would assume Orlando has a big one but might be something closer. They would probably be willing to send two seasoned researchers or meet you somewhere. Jean would certainly qualify but she does not live close to you, don't think. From the description you have given for the Bible it is going to take a couple of people used to reading old crumbling documents and a couple of heads are going to be better than one in this case.

Please take me off you email list for now. I hope to get into the genealogy search later. Thank you very much. Carolyn Stocks

At the bottom of every message posted to NC-PCFR, two lines below the actual signature and body of the message is the following line: Post to this mail list at: NC-PCFR-L@rootsweb.com To post, just click on the address and it brings up an addressed message box and all you have to do is type in your message....just as easy as hitting the reply button to bring up a message box, and much less confusing to the readers. This complaint eventually comes up on every mail list I've been on. The reply button shouldn't be used unless you are replying to that particular message. It would be a good thing for everyone to lose the "Reply button habit" and also give some thought to the subject line. This list is not all that busy, but I am on a couple of lists that I only read subject lines because of the the large number of e-mails coming in every day. If the subject line doesn't mention location or date or something more than "My Davis Family" or "My Brick Wall" I delete it without even reading it. Takes too much time to to open all of them just to find that most of them are not even remotely connected. Another address you might find helpful is http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ This address allows you to access the archives of NC-PCFR since inception. Some of you might like to go back and read messages that were posted before you joined. Just type NC-PCFR in the search window on that page. Brenda

       One more time ... WILL YOU PLEASE CHANGE THE SUBJECT LINE and leave the SURNAME BOOK WORDS OUT ???        If your message doesn't pertain to the Surname Book, why do you leave it there ???        We are spending a LOT of time working on the Surname Book and these unnecessary messages with the subject line "Surname Book" is hindering that work!        STOP IT PLEASE !!!        Laymond Elks        elksld@aol.com

Dear Calvin --- Thank you very much for taking the time to outline the various early migration routes to eastern NC. This is very helpful. I tried to go to Frendlysky@aol.com, but could not access it as I am not a member. Is there a title or reference where I could find the information contained on that website. I live in a remote area of California, but go to NC, TN, and Salt Lake to do research. Thanks again for your help.

Dear Gloria I live in Florida ,Eustis

Mr.Thomas Ellison Langley Mrs. Winifred Stokes ,Langley

This was forwarded from the Greene County mail list. Threshhold of Freedom presents life on the eastern front of NCs Civil War I just finished Cliff Tyndalls new book, Threshold of Freedom: Lenoir County, NC, During the Civil War. This book will rivet the attention of anyone who has an interest in either the history of Lenoir County or the history of this nations greatest cataclysm. The books foundation was the thesis Tyndall wrote for his Master of Arts degree in 1981 while he was a graduate student at East Carolina. Since that time, he has updated his research, added illustrations, and included a roster of Lenoir County men who fought during the Civil War. More than 550 men from Lenoir County fought; 112 died. Tyndall begins Threshold with facts about Lenoir County from the 1860 census. For those of you who may have forgotten, the Civil War was waged from 1861 through 1865. Tyndall uses the 1860 information to sketch Lenoir County before war ripped our state and nation. For instance, in 1860, Lenoir Countys population was around 10,000. Of that number, 4,900 were white, 5,100 were black slaves, and 178 were free blacks. Kinston proper had 1,340 black and white residents. The 1860 census also recorded 20 merchants and four physicians in Kinston, both high numbers for such a small town. Cotton was Lenoir Countys cash crop at that time, and nearly all Lenoir County farmers also kept sheep for wool. In 1860, Lenoir County had about 600 farms. Some were small, like James Tindals farm of 70 acres, which had only 20 acres cleared for cultivation. On the other end was Council Wooten, who owned 3,000 acres of cleared land and 10,000 acres of wooded land. Wootens farm was valued at $65,000. Tindals was worth $300. The 1860 census shows that Lenoir County had 26 schools. One was the Lenoir Collegiate Institution, also called the Institute, founded in 1855. This college preparatory school had four teachers and 60 students in 1860. Seventeen of the 26 schools were common schools, public schools that provided basic education. Each of these seventeen schools had one teacher. These common schools had a combined enrollment of 523. During the war, the educational landscape of Lenoir County was as devastated as the battlefields. By 1864, Lenoir County had only three teachers, each serving one common school  with combined enrollment of 72. Yet, school age population in 1864 was 866 boys and 791 girls. Just over 4 percent of children attended school that year. Tyndall explains part of the reason in Chapter II  A Social and Economic Description of Lenoir County: 1861-1865. Chapter III treats the First Battle of Kinston, also known as Fosters Raid. Chapter IV describes the shifting loyalties in Lenoir County and the restrictions on civil liberties that arose during the war. This chapter includes the story of how Gen. George Pickett ordered the hanging of 22 men. Chapter V details the Second Battle of Kinston, also known as the Battle of Wyse Fork, in 1865. Chapter VI describes Kinston as a Union base during April and May of 1865, and Chapter VII discusses how the death throes of the Confederacy affected Lenoir County. Tyndall stops short of Reconstruction and its impact our city and county. Tyndall also provides a detail bibliography that includes all of the primary sources he used, such as diaries, papers and letters from soldiers and officials who lived through the Civil War. He provides information about government documents, memoirs, regimental histories, and information from newspapers and magazines of the period. This book, available at The Book Depot ($14.00 plus tax) and from the Lenoir County Historical Association ($15.00, tax included), should be in the home of every resident of Kinston and Lenoir County interested in their heritage and history.

I have been sent the following information. Can anyone verify this information because I have conflicting information on the Taylors? William Taylor Sr of Norfolk co moved to Beaufort/Pitt md Lipscomb Jones in Beaufort Co ca 1707 - she of Talbot Co, Md Among their children were 1. Liscomb who md John Haddock Sr ca 1741 in Beaufort Co 2. William Taylor Jr who married Dinah Deale daughter of Henry Jr of Norfolk Co - she had a child before she married William called John Deale - this is proven in Beaufort Deeds. Abel Deal Sr. on the 1790 Census was listed next to Charles Haddock said to be a son of John Haddock Sr. and his wife Liscomb Taylor among the children of William Jr and Dinah Deale were Rhoda Taylor who married John Haddock Jr - I assume a son of John Sr - they moved to Jones Co, Ga. The Taylors were neighbors of the Buck and Burney families as well as some of the Albrittons Thanks. Martha

Mr. Langley, For help in preserving your 300 year old family bible, call or email Dr. Jonathan Dembo, Head of Special Collections, Joyner Library at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. phone number: 252-328-2661. email: demboj@mail.ecu.edu or Elizabeth H. Smith, Head Preservation and Conservation Professor, Joyner Library at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. phone: 252-328-0297 email: smithe@mail.ecu.edu They will help you to make an appointment to bring the bible in for an evaluation. Place the bible in a box such as a banker's file box or some other container which will protect it. The best thing to do is to carry it yourself. Do not ship it. At ECU they can advise you on how to have the pages repaired. They may even be able to repair it for you. They understand about the preservation of old documents. They can advise you on how to store, protect and preserve this bible. They will be able to make copies of the records pages without damaging the bible. While they will not want to keep the original bible in the collection, they will make copies of the family records to have on file in the Special Collection. This is the best place for these records to be preserved for the benefit of all. If the pages are crumbling, as you say, it will not be long before the information is completely lost. That is why it is important for you to go ahead and make an appointment now in order to preserve these records as soon as possible.
