Hi Betty, I just became aware of this connection recently. I will go back to my newsletters. thx. My gg John Henry Little, Sr, son of Frederick Dinkins Little, Sr, son of Jesse Little, (son of Amy per db noted in Kinsfolks of Edgecombe County), son of Abraham Little and his second wife Amy Llewellyn, dau of John Llewellyn (Per Llewellyn Family website). Is this enough info. I have lots, of course. We had the Little reunion Sept 7 at Kings Crossroads FWB Church. It was great. We invited for the first time some siblings from one gen up that I had located. It was great. We took a scanner. Everyone was encouraged to bring pictures, clippings, etc. to copy. The things we learned. The pictures of ourselves as children and our parents as children that some of us had never seen. It was fabulous. thx for your help. bb ----- Original Message ----- From: <Rea11bak2gen@aol.com> To: <NC-PCFR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 7:15 PM Subject: Re: [NC-PCFR] Thomas Wallis in Pitt County: cv1langley@apl > Brenda give me a little time and I will see what I can find on this.

Has anyone got a Dail file for Craven Co? I started one but not sure if I checked everything. Maybe we could combine files for the Dail project. Thanks Martha

Those of you who grew up in the western part of the state can just delete this WITHOUT voting. Those of you in Texas who think BBQ is just beef, well just take our word. Jane sent this note this morning and we thank her for bringing this serious matter to our attention. Being rather passionate about my BBQ I have already voted and will vote each day. Thanks, Jane. It may seem trivial to some, but there is media battle taking place over Western BBQ vs. Eastern BBQ. The NC Division of Tourism has a BBQ Poll on their web site to settle the question of who has the best BBQ in the state of North Carolina. The Lexington CVB is working with the Greensboro newspaper to run an "election" story of Western BBQ beating Eastern BBQ. There will be a full blown statewide and national advertising campaign run by the Lexington CVB if they win! Please take a moment to vote for Vinegar vs. Tomato Sauce. This would be embarrassing for us to lose to Lexington BBQ. You can vote once a day until October 1st.

Hi Betty, Can't seem to be in town enough to get to my meetings. I love them so much, but family calls. I noticed discussions of Llewellyn's conspiracy and I think, Gourd Patch. I have proven the Llewellyn connection now and am interested in that info. Sorry to be so late to the party, but really want to know the best place to glean stories connected to it and the other people involved. thanks. bb ----- Original Message ----- From: <Rea11bak2gen@aol.com> To: <NC-PCFR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 8:51 PM Subject: Re: [NC-PCFR] Thomas Wallis in Pitt County: cv1langley@apl > > > If you are not familiar with the term warrant, it is simply a legal direction > to a surveyor, granting him the authority to proceed with the survey of the > land in question. > > http://genealogy.about.com/mbody.htm > Go to this site and click on Land Records, there will be several site listed. > Look until you find the one dealing with land grants and it will tell you all > you need to know about deeds and grants. > Betty Reason > Edgecombe Genealogical Society > Surnames: Baker, Grizzard, Hobbs, Webb, Pittman, Walston, Harrell > Surnames: Reason, Cook, Mooring, Teachey, Carraway. > > Their seed shall remain forever and their glory shall not be blotted out. > Their bodies may be buried in peace, but their names liveth forevermore. > > > ==== NC-PCFR Mailing List ==== > Post to this mail list at: NC-PCFR-L@rootsweb.com > Visit the PCFR website at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncpcfr > Browse our rich collection of old family photographs, private documents, and public records. > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 >

If you are not familiar with the term warrant, it is simply a legal direction to a surveyor, granting him the authority to proceed with the survey of the land in question. http://genealogy.about.com/mbody.htm Go to this site and click on Land Records, there will be several site listed. Look until you find the one dealing with land grants and it will tell you all you need to know about deeds and grants.

I think you are looking at a warent that is like a deed warent for land ,other warents are like when the British or Tores put a warrent on you head because you were for the U.S.A to be free from King George . the letter D must mean like a deed warent to the creek so that you own the land and water way for your crop,s . Hope you can understand the word warrent .If not you might try a Layer and see if it is a court patment warrent from the two people. think of you being a jury and getingt paid with land that is just 0.25a acer and tobbacco is your gold in that time.

I saw one posting on the internet that had Birt Tyson's age as 33 in that McKeel cemetery when he died, not 88. Evelyn, you did the rootsweb posting that has him as 88. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

A bit of a Tyson clue: In the 1900 Pitt County census, Henry Tyson and wife Mary are listed with young son Birt, age 10. They are living just one family away from my Mary Lula Tyson Baker. I found the listing below in the McKeel Cemetery in Greene Co. This must have been a relative. He would have been born about 1833. Does anyone know the lineage of this earlier Birt Tyson below? Birt Tyson, died Aug. 27, 1921, age 88 yrs.

I am doing some research on a Thomas Wallis in Randolph County, N. C. and found this info in some land records, "On 22 October, Samuel Swearingen Jr. sold 159 acres of land to Thomas Wallis of Pitt County, North Carolina for 55 Pounds. This land was located on the Autry's Creek at the mouth of Hurley's Branch adjoining John Corbutt and Samuel Williams, it being part of a deed he purchased from Lord Granville bearing date 3 November 1761. " Unfortunately I don't have the date of the transaction recorded. I am wondering if anyone on the list has any information on this Wallis family? I also have another question on this information that I have "D80 [Warrant] issued Aug 2, 1797; Thomas Wallis enters 150 ac of land in Randolph County on waters of Big Brush Cr bounded by his own line, John Cruthers, & William Darbyes beginning and running for compliment; Mar. 12, 1796." What is a Warrant? Can someone explain what this Warrant would be and where can I find it? Would it be of Genealogy interest? Mell

Dear Tison hunyer you might go to marriage and find that a William Franklin Langley might have married to a Tison or Tyson The dayes are very much like some of the Virgina Clan but have no answers for you . some names are spelled Tyson ,Tison and Tieson.

The September meeting for Pitt County Family Researchers will be next THURSDAY night, Sept.19 at Sheppard Memorial Library at 7:00 pm.
