Dear Cousins, It seems that many of us cousins are attempting to trace our Nelson lines. Up until now, I was totally unaware that one of our cousins had possession of the "Nelson Bible" dating back to the 1600's. I have also noted that several of cousins are attempting to get reproduced copies of the family name listings contained in this particular Bible. It would be a wonderful Christmas present if this listing could be submitted to Roger Kammerer for publication in the PCFR Quarterly. That way, the information could be more efficiently disseminated to all those cousins, who are looking to fill some of their missing data. How do the rest of my cousins feel about this proposal? If there is a strong interest, will someone in Greenville take the lead in getting this information to Roger? Waiting to hear from my cousins. Yours, Cousin John John V. Lucas, Jr. Apt 215 5500 Holmes Run Parkway Alexandria, VA. 22304 Phone: 703-370-7743 email: attretired@worldnet.att.net Pitt Co. Interests: Barrow, Brown, Ewell, Hardee, Laughinghouse, Moore, Nelson, Tucker

Do you have anymore on the ancestry of Silvey Outlaw? I have a Harriet Silvey Witherington b 1832,, daughter of a James Witherington. It is rare that I have seen the name Silvey. Is it a family name or a nickname for Sylvia? I have found no other mention of Silvey in the Wi(e)therington or Worthington family.

Lisa, I believe (based on sell & witnessing of deeds, as I have been unable to establish positive proof) that Giles is the son of John and John is son of Martin, probably Martin I. Since Calvin said he had a Bible from the 1600's and contained all the Nelson information, that this data might be in the Bible he holds. There is no positive proof, all circumstantial that Nimod Nelson was son of Giles. It is documented and proved that Caleb was a son and that Judith Moye was a daughter, but does not give Nimrod as a son. Was also hoping maybe that info may be in the Bible he holds as well as other proof of the Nelson clan.

Should be in most public libraries and is easy to find used as it is used as a textbook in colleges. While it is not NC specific, but covers Migrations from Great Britain to what is now the US, I find it very informative in helping to understand migrations during the 1600-1700's, and also the formation of the distinctive cultures of different regions of the US. Stephen, St. Louis From the dustjacket: "This volume, the first in a cultural history of the United States, takes up a problem of origins. It is about the transplanting of four British folkways to Americaa process which defined the regional cultures of the United States, and created the pluralism on which American freedom is based. From 1629 to 1775, North America was settled by four great waves of English-speaking immigrants. The first was an exodus of Puritans from the east of England to Massachusetts Bay (1629-40). The second was the movement of a Royalist elite and their indentured ser vants from the south of England to Virginia (1640-75). The third was the Friends' migration from the North Mid lands of England and Wales to the Delaware Valley (1675-1725). The fourth was a flight from the borderlands of North Britain and northern Ireland to the American backcountry (1717-75). These four groups differed in religion, rank, generation and place of origin. They had different English dialects, different traditions of vernacular architecture, different ideas of family and marriage, different attitudes toward gender and sexuality, different practices of child-naming and child-raising, different beliefs about age and death, different rituals of worship and magic, different forms of work and play, different customs of food and dress, different traditions of education and literacy, different modes of settlement and association. They also had profoundly different ideas of comity, order, power and freedom. Albion's Seed describes these cultures in detail, and discusses their continuing importance in American history. Today most people in the United States (more than 80 per cent) have no British ancestors at all. These many other groups, while preserving their own ethnic identities, also assimilated regional cultures which had been created in the colonial era. The concluding section of Albion's Seed explores the ways in which regional cultures have persisted in the United States from 1789 to 1989, and still control attitudes toward politics, education, government, gender, and violenceon which differences between American regions are greater than those between European nations. Albion's Seed argues that four British folkways in early America created an expansive pluralism which became more libertarian than any single culture alone could be. Together they became the foundation stones of a free society in the United States."

Ruth; Here are some Blunt/Wilson records I have in my data base. In 1752 Chowan: LEMUEL WILSON of VA m. Marta ?. Bondsman: Arthur Allen, JOS. BLUNT, James Trotter, D. Cartwright...Chowan Marriages 1803 Bertie Co: JAMES WILSON m. SILVEY OUTLAW BM: JACOB OUTLAW, JOS BLOUNT 1810 census NATHANIEL BLOUNT was living in Pitt. He was an Episcopalian minister who is mentioned together with REV JAMES LEWIS WILSON in church records. They both were active in the Reformation movement of the Episcopal Church in NC in the 1790s. James L. Wilson lived at Williamston in Martin Co but preached both there at a church built on the farm of William Slade and at Tarboro in Edgecombe. Rev Nathaniel Blount was of Pitt and preached there and in Edgecombe in In 1795 He was described as living on the Tar River. Also on the Tar River but in Edgecombe was the land devised to the Edgecombe branch of our Wilson family by William Willson of Northampton in 1745. As far as I know, no one has ever been able to connect Nathaniel to the Blounts who were living in the Blunt Bridger house that is now a museum in Tarboro, Edgecombe Co. However, in between the Blount tenure and the Bridger family, the house was owned by Lewis Dicken Wilson a cousin of the Bridgers and a ggrandson of our William and Rebecca Braswell Wilson. Lewis D. Wilson was a long-time state politician who d. in the Mexican War and for whom Wilson Co was named. I did find one deed of his in Pitt Co, but since he was doing a lot of land speculation, it may have no significance. The Wilson family of Pitt who I suspect to be connected to our Wilsons was Samuel son of Rev War Soldier, Willis Wilson. Willis was b. in Craven Co & d. in Pitt. Samuel named one son Shade and one son Lewis Wilson, both unusual names for the Wilson surname in NC & SS VA and both used by our proven Wilson family. I have a limited amt of info on Nathaniel Blunt ...have you looked at him? Let me know if any of this is of interest.

Now you have my attention... The ggrandson of William Willson, (grandson of Isaac Wilson of Edgecombe Co, son of Isaac Wilson Jr), James Andrew Wilson married 2nd Mary Abigail Adams in Tarboro, 1831. They were of Putnam Co GA. I have no idea why they came back to Edgecombe Co to be married as both were supposedly of GA at that time. Mary Abigail Adams is said to be of an Adams family who went to Greene Co GA after the Revolution. One researcher said the Adams were part of the Pitt Co Adams family. Do you know anything about Mary Abigail Adams?

Jo --- You have opened up a topic that is of great interest to many of us --- the immigration routes of our early ancestors into northeastern NC. Once we have traced our early ancestors into eastern NC, we have great difficulty trying to find out where they came from. For example, my earliest known ancestors were Alexander Mitchell (b. 1722) (wife Desire)and his son, Abraham Mitchell (b. 1742) (wife Ellender). We know that Abraham Mitchell and some of his sons owned real property in New Bern, Craven Co, in the 1790's, and that one of his sons (my ancestor), Hardy Mitchell (b. 1768) (wife Barbara), first appeared in the 1790 federal census for old Dobbs Co. These do not seem to fit in with the Mitchell family of Onslow county with similar names. We know that some of my Mitchell descendants remaining in New Bern were involved in mercantile and shipping endeavors, suggesting a possible New England connection, but where in New England?. It is hard to tell where this Mitchell family came from. Did they come from Virginia or Maryland to Dobbs Co and then to Craven Co? Did they come first to Dobbs Co or Craven Co? Did they come from the Bertie Co area to Dobbs or Craven Co? Did they come from the West Indies? Did they come from New England? Did they come directly from Scotland, England or Ireland? Did they come from somewhere else? The possibilities are so numerous that it is hard to know where to begin in trying to track them down. I would appreciate any suggestions for approaching this type of problem, and any source references. I would like to see our genealogical societies in the eastern NC area undertake a project to track the early migration routes into NC and the early families that took each of those migration routes, together with source references for the various migration routes. (I know that work has been done and posted on websites the migrations out of NC to the states to the west, but I do not know of any projects or works tracking the early migration routes into NC). I would appreciate any direction in narrowing down the areas of search. Thank you for bringing up this important topic.

I didn't see a discussion of how most of our ancestors reached NC. I have found that to be an interesting subject. None of my direct ancestors have ever been born west of I-95 since their respective lines found their way into this state. Most of them did, indeed, come first to Virginia and then into NC - some as early as the mid-1600's. I have found, to my surprise, however, that a few old, old NC families were seafaring families and settled in NC first, although their ships visited ports in Burmuda, the Caribbean and other ports in Colonial America as well as NC waters. They could have settled anywhere. These people primarily came to the Roanoke River area early on. The Roanoke was navigable all the way to Williamston up until about the 1950's to ships of relatively shallow draft. > > The lumber here also attracted quite a few families from New England and Long Island even before Revolutionary Days. The attraction of the lumber was for ship-building at that time. I think it interesting that we seem to have more members of the Mayflower Society who were born in NC than we do of the Ancient Planters (Jamestown settlers' descendants). > > If you want to look at immigrants as recently as the mid-1700's, you will find that many of the Scottish Highlander refugee families came directly into the Port of Wilmington to settle the Cape Fear Valley. Even Flora McDonald, who sheltered Bonnie Prince Charlie took refuge in NC. She had to leave, though, when the Revolution came, because she was a Tory. > > Hope I didn't bore you, but I seem to have at least one ancestor that took each of the possible routes, so don't overlook an unusual possiblity.

Dear Ruth Jacob Blunt is Kin to me . the Blunt family is part of the Stokes Family and the Adams and Edwards is kin also to me all married in the stokes Family and Jolly plus the Langley . think of me as the center of all you people the North Pitt County was ruled by the Langley,s and the South was ruled by the Stoke,s and Jolly family now ,My mother is one of the Stokes and Jolly and my dad is the Langley people Now I,m the last son alive and both sides are kin to me and you can ask about the family and the people and you,ll find that fron Craven to Bofuot county and up most all people in a line are kin to me.

<PRE>I rember a Jessie Stoke,s

I have full proof that the Langley Family is the family of England and were Tores in the Revolition war. I have the whole list from Adela to me listed in the royal Libary in Fngland and in our house we have a proof setting that is to be coppied and be made a book for the people in Pitt county to be able to have in the Shepard Libary and for seal as soon as I can find a sectary to type the book also the book is hand writen and will be put up for for all North Carlianes,s to be able to see in Pitt county . I hope that the Libary will make room to set this book that is hand writen because it was writen by Thomas Ellison Langley JR. the Grand son of Carl Adrian Langley of Pitt county. yours truly Calvin James Langely
