County: Pitt Township: Winterville volume 1 page 875 Orphine* Tyson Female White Widowed age about 74 Birthplace: Greene Co Father: Tommie Tyson BPlace of father: Greene Co NC Mother: Rachel Turnage BPlace of mother: Greene Co NC Informant: J. T.? Jones or Joner Filed 7/18/1918 Registrar: Rudolph Croom Date of Death: July 17, 1918 Cause of Death: Cardiac Dropsy Duration: 12 years Signed: B. J. Cox Address: Winterville Place of Burial or Removal: Reddy Branch Cemetery Date of Burial: 7/17/1918 Undertaker: A. G. Cox, Winterville, NC Orphine Tyson is probably the Ortha Tyson buried in Reedy Branch cemetery. She was aged 71 years when she died according to the headstone there. This is possibly one of the children listed with George Washington Tyson and wife Sarah in the 1850 Pitt County census. She also may be the Offey listed with Thomas Tyson and wife Rachel Turnage in the 1860 Greene Co census. Geo. W. Tyson and wife had died by the 1860 census. Even though she's listed as a child of Tommie Tyson and Rachel Turnage, she may not be. I would like to find her in the 1880 census. She would probably be living in Pitt County by this time. If you have a census index, I'd appreciate a lookup. I'll be posting more info as I get it typed.

Thanks, Jo...I had figured it out to my disappointment. At first, I though I had a twofer! The Dukes are all over Wilson records in Northampton and the Robinsons to a lesser degree. I believe and can almost prove that our James Wilson is in Bertie, while his father had moved from there to Northampton where he had long owned land. The only prayer I have with this common name is following the land and did just find a missing piece that was in the hands of a William Wilson of Bertie when it was sold the description said patented by William Wilson and no other patent fits except the one to our William in the 1720s on Cashie Swamp. So if you ever see any Wilsons around your Robersons, please give me a buzz.

Just a note to make sure that you know Duke is the nickname for Marmaduke. Love, Jo

I have a bit of info from my recent trip to NC that I will be posting a little at a time. We went to the Pitt County courthouse and the Greene County courthouse as well as Joyner library. Martha, I saw some Sutton info that I need to let you know about privately. Also visited Reedy Branch cemetery and was able to make some connections there. Need to send Billie B. an email about Tysons. Billie, email me if you see this. I will also post info on the pages of the copies I made in case someone can use the extra bits of info there. I got sick on the way back and am trying to recuperate. Will post my bit of info soon.

Thanks Tracy. I have a copy of the deed from Deed Book OO page 640 circa 1857. I am not very far on the research of the Browns, but was also wondering about the Stancil family, rather the father of Martha. Thanks for your information.

Gloria, I found your message very interesting. After reading your message and looking back at some of the deeds from that time I have discovered a much closer relationship between the Browns and Stancils than I had previously been aware of. At this point I tend to agree with you that maybe Benjamin Brown was the father of John Reddin Brown. We know that the wills didn't always include all the children. There are many deeds involving the Browns but I have chosen two to talk about here: Pitt County Deed Book OO page 640 circa 1857 John Brown and wife Patsy were heirs of Eddie Brown dec'd. This is probably John Reddin and Martha Stancil Brown-we know that John S. Brown's wife was evidently dec'd by the time of the 1850 census. We know that both John Reddin Brown and Eddie Brown were born in the 1790's so it seems a likely conclusion that they were brothers, along with brother John S. Brown who was mentioned in Benjamin's will. John S. Brown born circa 1789 according to the 1850 census. Pitt County Deed Book II page 74 date December 19, 1838 Dower of Louisa Taft (wife of Arnold Taft) Louisa widow of Eddie Brown dec'd. This Louisa seems to be the daughter of Godfrey and Dorcas Jones Stancil. Previoulsy I had known that Louisa had married a Mr. Taft, but I had never identified her husband. It seems that Louisa Stancil first married Eddie Brown son of Benjamin Brown. Eddie Brown apparently died during the 1830's after which time his widow Louisa Stancil Brown became the second wife of Arnold Taft. Arnold Taft was evidently dec'd by the 1850 census when Louisa was listed with three sons the oldest of which was Godfrey Taft. To be honest with you, I don't really have much information on the Browns. My main reason for being interested in Benjamin Brown's will was that it seemed to provide the only clue as to the parents of those Stancil grandchildren listed in his will. If you ever get around to working on your Browns, there seems to be a wealth of information on them contained in the Pitt County deeds.

Thanks, Jo! Someone from our Wilson family seems to have gone to Martin Co. just have not tied it all together yet. However have recently made a breakthrough in Bertie Co. where we had a piece of land on Cashie swamp with no sale record and not mentioned in the 1745 will of William Wilson. We have just found that land in the hands of a Wilson previously thought to be unrelated. William evidently had a number of children from an earlier wife to whom he had given land along the way. This guy was a serial husband. The Robinsons and even more so the Davisons seem to be tied into James Wilson, another son unmentioned in the will.

Marmaduke Roberson lived in Bertie Co. about the same time as Henry Roberson lived in Martin. If there is a tie between them, it has never been discovered. Many believe that Marmaduke was a son of Henry. I believe they were related, but most likely brothers. I have seen a couple of records on Marmaduke, but haven't kept them. I will pay closer attention and report anything I see again to you. By the way, there is an estate record for a Marmaduke Roberson in the State Archives, I believe in the Bertie loose paper folder. It was donated by someone from Cheyenne, Wyoming. The record was only for a horse, a saddle and a gun. There is a will somewhere for in eastern NC Marmaduke that shows a larger estate. The record from Wyoming could be for Marmaduke, Jr. JO

Apparently, there are two JSW Browns. The John Stancil William Brown 1927-1994, who was son of Peter 1875-1961 and Viola Harris Brown 1905-1988, married Dorothy Jean Edwards 1929-1994. They had five children, all of whom are still living. They are William Henry Brown, John Ivy Brown, Lois Jean Brown Barrett, Nancy Kathryn Brown Harris and David Gregory Brown. As you probably noticed, Peter Brown was 30 years older than his wife, Viola. Our JSW was brother to Johnnie Elizabeth Brown Hubband, Rose Helen Brown Saurenmen, James Ivy Brown, Albion Ray Brown, Viola Mae Brown McMillan and Dora Ann Brown Nixon. There is a Harris Family Reunion today. I have printed your first message to show to our JSW's brothers and sisters to see if they know anything about the Browns and Stancils you mentioned. Since Peter was so much older than you would expect to have middle-aged children living today, there may be a tie to the older generations you are studying. Jo

Tracy, I have a John Reddin Brown married to Martha "Patsy" Stancil with daughter Clary Brown who married Jesse Nelson, son of Nimrod Nelson. I have suspected Benjamin Brown as being the father of John R. Brown, but have not had time to research this family. Pitt County Chronicles (page 197, Item # 380) gives the names of John R Brown and Patsy's children and follows JSW Brown and Elizabeth Rebecca Fleming family. You may already have this information. Sounds like you are further along with your research than I on this line.

Jo; I have two that are especially important to me. The first two. It looks like our James Wilson may possibly be connected to both the Davisons and the Robersons. All of these Wilsons mentioned are ours except Rev James L.

Jo, Thanks for taking time to read my message and to send your reply. If your cousins are not into genealogy they probably will not have any information, but if you do come across any clues I would love to hear from you. Incidently, who were the parents of JSW Brown? One of Benjamin Brown's granddaughters mentioned in the will, Martha Stancil, herself married another Brown, John R. Brown I believe it was. John R. and Martha Stancil Brown were on the 1850 Pitt County census.

The Robersons from whom I'm descended were in Tyrrell and Martin primarily. I think they may have owned some land at some time in Bertie, but that really wasn't their home county. Do you have any Roberson/Wilson names that I might check? In my direct line, I am not aware of any Wilsons, but many of the wives maiden names are unknown, so there may be a Wilson in there somewhere. Jo

Tracy, I had a cousin in Pitt County named John Stancil William Brown. He was related to me through his mother, Viola Harris Brown wife of Peter Brown, his father. None of these three are living, but J. S. W. Brown had several brothers and sisters who are still alive and well. They are not into genealogy (yet), but I will print your inquiry and take to them to see if they know anything about your folks. Jo ROBERSON Prytherch
