I agree with Jo about a quality publication. I could live with a glued heavy paper cover if the text and pictures were well done. Alice Researching: Tyson, Joyner, Moye, Briley, Turnage

Brenda, what is the address of the Pitt Co. Historical Society? I want them to know how important it is to do a quality job. The Chapel Hill Press is now specializing in books featuring the histories of ordinary families under their new ownership. I don't know how competitive they are in pricing. Thanks. Jo

Brenda, Thanks for your notes on the meeting. The reprinting of the book would be great. I was in Greenville a couple of weeks ago for one day and checked out the Barnes and Noble there to see if it might be available, it was not. I had never been to Greenville before, since I live in Delaware. I wanted you all to know what a great time I had. I had never been to a courthouse before to look for deeds, and found the people there most helpful. I was amazed how easy it was and how well preserved the documents were. I also road out to visit the Red Banks Church which gave me the most awesome sense of peace. It took my mother and I quite a while to find our next destination, which was our family's homeplace, which is located off Bell's Fork Road. While we were making our 3rd try to find it we stopped off at a gas station and ask a lady to help us and after she gave of the info we chatted with her for a while, and she turned out to be a cousin of ours. It was a wonderful trip. Now we are planning to come to Greenville again for the Oct reunion. Lisa

Jo, The reprinting of Chronicles of Pitt County North Carolina is a project of the Pitt County Historical Society. I don't know what they are planning. I would guess that cost might be a factor in choice of binding , paper, etc. The first printing is very nice...I'm so glad my Dad bought one when they came out!

Please reprint the PITT COUNTY CHRONICLES as beautifully as it was printed the first time. Cartert County reprinted Volume I of their history with a poor quality copy machine and paper binding. It is not the kind of book one wants to pass down to one's children. My husband is waiting for an original copy to show up at a second hand book dealer's or a garage sale rather than buy a poor copy of the original. Jo Prytherch

Pitt County Family Researchers held their July meeting Tuesday night, July 16 at Sheppard Memorial Library. We had 30 people present, including two guests, Faye Stainback of Ayden and her daughter Connie. Faye became a member of PCFR last night. She is researching Hodges and Angel. We are so pleased that attendance has been so strong all year. We usually have a drop off of attendance numbers in the summer, but not this year. Janice announced that our membership is now 300, the largest it has ever been. It is wonderful to see that more and more people with Pitt County roots are becoming involved in the search for our ancestors and the preservation of the history of Pitt County. Roger Kammerer talked about the Hometown Bethel Preservation project. A group of Bethel residents, including some of our members (Betty Robbins and Anne Carroll) are trying to save some of the old buildings of Bethel that are scheduled to be torn down. As part of an effort to raise money, they are selling an assortment of note cards with various scenes and buildings from Bethel. These pictures are from a series of water colors that were painted by Roger Kammerer. If anyone would like more information about purchasing these notecards, contact Janice or me. William Cox announced that he had found two new surnames in his lines. He is looking information on Hatch and Heath families. Roger Kammerer announced that the Historical Society is looking into reprinting the book Chronicles of Pitt County North Carolina. This is good news for many people who have been searching for a copy of this book. It has been unavailable for several years. Barry Munson's new book, Obituaries of the Henderson Goldleaf, was purchased and submitted to the library. Jim Brown reminded everyone that we are electing the following officers this year: Vice President, Treasurer, and one Board Member. He talked about the duties of each position. Vice President will conduct meetings that the President is unable to attend, be chairman of the election committee, and the Bylaws committee. The Treasurer must submit a monthly report at each meeting of all deposits and disbursements, and keep an updated accounting of all financial activities. There is software furnished for management of this accounting on computer. Board Members from the membership at large, along wiith the officers, make up the Executive Board. This Board meets once a month on the same night as the regular meeting to discuss the business of PCFR and make any decisions on policy, purchases, projects, etc. If you would like to submit nominations for these positions (Vice President, Treasurer, and 1 Board Member) please send them to Janice Gurganus jtginnc@cox.net by August 1. It would be considerate to contact the people you would like to nominate and make certain that they will be willing to serve in this position. These positions are each important to the make up of the board, and we would hope that anyone accepting one of these positions would make a serious commitment to attend the meetings(except for good reasons), and do their job. Ballots will go out before Reunion in October. Speaking of Reunion,, the date is October 11 and 12 at the Hooker Memorial Church Activities Building again. Registration will be $15 this year. This includes transportation to the libraries on Friday, doughnuts and coffee both mornings, catered lunch on Saturday, and FREE use of the copy machine. We will have our vertical files, Quarterlies and other research resources owned by members at the Reunion site. Again we will meet for dinner on Friday night at a local restaurant...each will pay for his own meal Friday night. Eleanor Allen will be scanning your old family pictures for the Picturing Pitt County Project that we have at Sheppard Memorial Library, so gather the ones you would like to have in this collection representing your family and bring them to Reunion. Eleanor also hopes to set up another scanning day at Sheppard Memorial Library this Fall. Remember, you can send scanned copies of pictures you would like to have in this collection by e-mail to Janice or me. We will get them to Eleanor. Remember also that Martha Marble and Tracy Putnam are planning a Dobbs County (Greene and Lenoir) Reunion for July 03 in Kinston. They would welcome any suggestions or ideas that you might have.

Black Creek is in Wilson County, NC. I have a CD of the Images of the 1880 Census. One of these days when I can find time I am going through it and make a list of them in ABC order and will post it, but for now there is no time. Linda Melvin

Its in Wilson My sister was married there!

I think it's in Wilson, but someone else might have a better answer.

Steve Bradley has Vol 11 of the Craven County Abstracts ready for shipment. His URL for ordering information is http://www.telpage.net/bradleyp/ The information for Craven is still not up on his website but the price is $25 which includes postage. Martha

I need help with some photos in an album that was my mother's. There are two photos of a boy and girl, labeled Royce Harris and Brenda Kay Harris; on the back of one photo, is a note saying "Shirley Cayton Harris _____ children." There is a photo labeled Shirley Cayton, and another one labeled Shirley Allen Cayton Harris, Winterville. I have some Harris connections, but don't find these people in my database. Can anyone help me identify this family? The photos are probably early 1940s. Thanks for any help. Janice Tripp Gurganus jtginnc@cox.net

Janice, I thought we had uncovered some interesting scandal. It would only be that if the family did not know about an earlier marriage. Maybe another time.

Jeanne, Thanks for the information but at the moment the names do not 'ring a bell'. Are they connected to William Alonza Dail b. 1876 d. 1930? Carroll Co. is in the western part of TN. I live in the eastern part of the state. If I were closer to the cemetery I might be tempted to go and look. Thank you for your response. Betty ----- Original Message ----- From: J.

Hey Girl!! I miss you. William Alonza and Hettie were my mother's parents. So far as I know, she was his only wife. He was a FWB minister, but SHE was the Christian in the family! I'll tell you about that later. Look forward to seeing you in October. Janice
