My mother was Kathleen Ann Collins (2 June 1932 - 28 July 2008), born in Washington, D.C. to Jack McRae Collins (5 November 1912 - 28 August 1967) of North Carolina and Helen Elizabeth Nicholson (18 September 1914 - 8 August 1976) of Washington, D.C.. Mom also had a sister, Helen Patricia Collins (27 June 1933 - 15 August 1996). My grandparents divorced when the kids were little, and Jack (granddad) returned to his families home in Ayden, N.C. He was born in Gardnersville, and was the son of James Hanrahan Collins (13 April 1875 - 19 April 1947) and Margaret Melissa Stokes (21 August 1977 - 2 Jun 1934).

He served in the Navy twice - first in the late 20's/early 30's, and second during WWII. Jack was married a second time, to Evelyn Gaddy (14 September 1907 - 16 March 1971) and they had a son, Jack McRae Collins II (27 February 1946 - 29 December 2001). He loved fishing and died of a heart attack at his trailer on Atlantic Beach. My grandmother, Helen, never remarried, and had kept in touch with some of the Collins family (I'm told that some of Irma Belle Cannon Collins descendants may still have some of those letters). She had been diagnosed with lung cancer in 1970 and was given three years to live, but promised family members that she would live to see one of her grandchildren get married. I was married on 17 September 1976, and she died on 8 August. James Hanrahan Collins was born at Hanrahan's Crossroads to Randall Parrott Collins (2 March 1843 - 16 June 1890) and Sarah Rebecca Ives (21 August 1844 - 7 October 1911).

In Greene Co NC, Thomas Tyson b. abt 1810 and Rachel Turnage had Fannie Tyson who m. _______ and had Mary Lula Tyson who married William Baker and had Willie Baker in 1889.  Mary Lula Tyson and William Baker were married in Beaverdam Township in Pitt County in 1888.    Willie was the only child they had.  William Baker died before he was born.  Willie Baker married Bertha Tolena Manning and had my father Louis Baker, who was born in 1930. In Greene Co NC, James Baker b. 1804 m. _________ and had James Hines Baker abt. 1825 who m. Josianne Hobbs and had William Baker in the paragraph above.  James Hines Baker and Josianne can be found in the 1850 census but have died by the 1860 census.  Grandparents William Hobbs and Mary ________ and James Baker b. 1804 and his second wife Harriett Priscillann Darden Moye (sister of William a. Darden, widow of Abram Moye) finished raising the three children of James Hines Baker and Josianne/Josey Ann Hobbs.  My Tyson line is a deadend in that I cannot find a marriage for Fannie Tyson.  Family lore has it that she married a Tyson who did not live very long, but I cannot find any evidence of that.  Tom Tyson is listed as Mary Lula's father in one record, but her marriage certificate is left blank in the father area.  I know that Henry Tyson and Harvey Tyson were uncles to my Mary Lula Tyson.  Harvey Tyson's son Fred died in an accident when he was about 16.  I don't know about any surviving children of Harvey or Henry.  Also.  Thomas M. Tyson who married Harriett Viverette and others was also a relative of Mary Lula Tyson's although I'm not sure how he's related. The Manning genealogy that is listed in the first Chronicles of Pitt County is incorrect.  A relative Don Manning has straightened the file out.  Two files were inadvertently mixed up and the incorrect genealogy has persisted.  I've been trying to contact Don Manning to see if what I have is correct.  If any of you know him, let him know I'd like to talk to him. William Hobbs in Greene Co married Mary________ and Nancy can't remember her last name, but I have it somewhere.  I thought it was Vick, but I believe it was something else.  I'll send that along when I find it.  William and Nancy had other children, including a Hobbs who married a Carraway.  Paula Baker Researching Cole, Wilkerson, Norman, and White in Georgia, South Carolina, and Louisiana and Baker, Tyson, Manning, and Stocks in North Carolina "We are not free, separate, and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way."

Chamber of Commerce and Merchants’ Association It was in December 1962that the Greenville Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants Association agreed to merge together to make a “stronger central organization working for the people of Greenville.” Each group has a long history of starts and stops, controversies and continual service to the Greenville community. Over their history it seems when one entity disbanded, the other would be formed again to take its place. Let me give you a small history of each of these groups. Chamber of Commerce The first Chamber of Commerce was formed at a meeting at the Court House on the evening of May 20, 1898. Twenty four members were enrolled, suitable by-laws were adopted and the organization elected the following officers: J. B. Cherry, President; H. A. White, Vice-Pres.; Larry I. Moore, Sect.; and J. L. Little, Treasurer. This organization only lasted a few years and died a natural death from doing nothing. It was again revived on Sept. 27, 1906 at a meeting at the Mayor’s Office. Again by-laws were adopted and the organization elected officers: J. L. Wooten, President; S. T. White, Vice-Pres.; C. E. Bradley, Sect.; and J. L. Little, Treasurer. On Nov. 12 a Board of Directors were elected being: E. G. Flanagan, A. B. Ellington, H. S. Carr, J. S. Smith, D. J. Whichard and F. M. Wooten. This Chamber worked on the town loan, paving Evans Street and Dickinson Avenue, expanding electricity, dredging the Tar River and developing the tobacco and cotton markets. In Oct. 1907 the following new Chamber officers were elected: D. J. Whichard, President; H.W. Whedbee, Vice-Pres.; C. E. Bradley, Sect.; and J. L. Little, Treasurer. The Executive Committee was made up of D. L. James, F. M. Wooten and L. C. Arthur. The new officers in 1908 included: F. M. Wooten, President; J. J. Laughinghouse, Vice-Pres.; and J. L. Little, Treasurer. The Secretary office was left open for several years. In May 1910, F. M. Wooten resigned as president of the Chamber of Commerce and H. A. White was unanimously chosen. Eventually this Chamber died and by 1917 the local newspaper complained about the numerous failed attempts to organize a business men’s organization in Greenville and how Greenville was missing out on business enterprises by the lack of a Chamber of Commerce. By 1918, another Chamber of Commerce had formed with H. A. White as president. In Sept. 1919, H. A. White, president of the Chamber invited the Merchant’s Association to share office space in the Chamber of Commerce rooms free of charge. Miss Maud Lee, who had served as secretary of the Merchant’s Association for a year, resigned to become the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. R. E. Ranson was elected assistant secretary, having been secretary of the Henderson Chamber of Commerce before coming to Greenville. This Chamber appears to have ended by 1921. In June 1921, The Pitt County Chamber of Commerce was formed. This Chamber of Commerce created Chamber groups in each Pitt County community. At a meeting in the Court House on June 21, 1921, Directors were elected for one and two year terms. The first Directors where: Dr. W. W. Dawson, Grifton; Dr. C. J. Ellen, Greenville; J. L. Perkins, Stokes; J. R. Turnage, Ayden; H. A. White, Greenville; J. E. Winslow, Greenville; W. L. Best, Greenville; W. H. Dail, Jr., Greenville, E. G. Flanagan, Greenville; J. C. Galloway, Grimesland; James L. Little, Greenville; and H. V. Staton, Bethel. At another meeting a few nights later the Directors were introduced to the members and they each had to give a brief speech on “My Idea of a Worth While Pitt County Chamber of Commerce.” On April 1, 1924 the Greenville Chamber of Commerce was organized again under the guidance of W. H. Dail, Jr. He got a committee together that set a goal of 300 members before the organization would form. Bylaws and a Constitution were adopted and according to their Constitution, “the object of the Greenville Chamber of Commerce shall be to promote the commercial, industrial, civic, social and agricultural welfare of Greenville and Pitt County.” The first officers were: W. H. Dail, Jr., Pres.; O. L. Joyner, Vice-Pres.; and Directors: J. R. Hall, J. H. Blount, J. E. Winslow, C. W. Shuff, G. V. Smith, R. M. Garrett, Robert H. Wright, Dr. K. B. Pace, and J. B. James. This Chamber too eventually ended. On Dec. 13, 1932, a group of businessmen again organized the Greenville Chamber of Commerce. Officers elected were: L. A. Stroud, President; J. J. White, First Vice-Pres.; J. B. Kittrell, Second Vice-Pres.; R. L. Powell, Sect.; and Directors: C. W. Howard, J. Howard McGinnis, Dr. J. B. Pace, Martin Swartz, J. Herbert Waldrop, C. P. Earhart, Dink James, G. B. Smith, J. E. Winslow, Z. V. Murphy and K. W. Cobb. This Chamber promoted retail shopping with “Dollar Days, Suburban Days, Profit Sharing Days, and Promotion Christmas Days, Window displays, parades, music, Spring and Fall openings and other attractions.” In Feb. 1939, the Junior Greenville Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees) was organized with 34 young business and professional men of the city. The first officers were: Dave M. Mosier, Pres.; Badger Johnson, Vice-Pres.; Paul Gaskill, Sect.-Treas.; and Edmond Waldrop, national councilor. The Board of Directors was composed of Reynolds May, T. E. Wilson and Francis Worsley. The charter members were: Troy Burnette, J. O. Barbour, Albert Gaskins, Paul Gaskill, Harry Hagerty, A. C. Henry, Gene Horne, Badger Johnson, Reynolds May, Dave Mosier, Jack Powell, Russell Viverette, Edmond Waldrop, Howard Waldrop, Ed Whitehurst, T. E. Wilson, Francis Worsley, Louis Worsley, James Moye, Marshal Starkey, Bancroft Moseley, A. M. McCallum, William Norman, Arnold Barwick, George Wilkerson, Robert Grady, E. S. Flanagan, J. G. Proctor, Jr., W. L. Nesbit, Jr., Cam Fetner, Tyson Bilbro, W. C. Hollowell and J. B. Hawes. Merchants Association The first Retail Merchants’ Association in Greenville was realized on the evening of July 7, 1903 at a meeting at the Court House. Norman H. Johnson, of Burlington, NC, a lawyer and attorney general for the NC Grocers’ and General Merchants’ Association came to Greenville to organize the meeting and address the merchants here. At the conclusion of Mr. Johnson’s address the Pitt County Merchants Association was organized with the following officers: J. R. Moye, Pres.; H. L. Carr, Vice-Pres.; S. T. White, Second Vice-Pres.; W. A. Bowen, Sect.; Frank Wilson, Treas.; and Directors C. T. Munford, Luther Savage, J. N. Hart, J. G. Moye and B. J. Pully. This group appears to have lasted only a few years. On May 8, 1918, a group of Greenville businessmen met in the lobby of the Proctor Hotel and organized themselves into the Greenville Merchants’ Association. Members of the Wilson Merchants’ Association and J. Paul Leonard, secretary of the NC Merchants’ Association addressed the men. There were 28 charter members and the officers elected were N. O Warren as President and Frank Wilson as Vice President. Miss Maud Lee was named as secretary and her office was located in the National bank building. In Sept. 1919, the Chamber of Commerce invited the Merchant’s Association to share office space in the Chamber of Commerce rooms free of charge. Miss Maud Lee, who had served as secretary of the Merchant’s Association for a year, resigned to become the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. This Association fell apart due to the economic pressures of World War I. On July 2, 1925 the Greenville Merchants’ Association was reorganized with J. H. Blount, Pres.; Curtis Perkins, Vice-Pres.; C. B. Rowlette, Sect.; Frank Wilson, Treas.; and Directors J. N. Hart, W. H. Woolard, L. A. Stroud, and C. Heber Forbes. This association failed and on April 26, 1927, under the leadership of W. H. Woolard, J. J. White and C. Heber Forbes, the Greenville Merchants’ Association was incorporated. This Association created a credit bureau and every store patron was given a rating. They got street lights, Evans Street paved, Christmas decorations and established the city’s semi-annual Dollar Days event. In April 1929, the membership of the Greenville Merchants’ Association reached 100 and was one of the most active in the State. Eventually the Association’s work began to lag and it was kept alive only in combination with the Chamber of Commerce. In 1937 the Greenville Merchants’ Association was reorganized with 22 local businessmen and L. A. Stroud was elected president of the new group. By 1955, the Greenville Merchants’ Association had 233 Greenville members and 25 members from nearby towns. They expanded the Credit Bureau, saved businesses on advertising costs, expanded off-street parking, helped newcomers find housing, created the Newcomers Luncheon Club for women and annual Newcomers Party, organized the Greenville Credit Women’s Breakfast Club in 1949, and formed numerous special groups of merchants. Another group, the Greenville Business and Professional Women’s Club, was formed in 1938 with 20 charter members and Mrs. H. S. Ragsdale as president. They were responsible for reviving the Federal Art Gallery, promoting the Tobacco Festival and numerous other civic activities. To compliment the Jaycee’s Man of the Year, the BP & W Club named its first Women of the Year in 1948 giving the first award to Mrs. J. B. Spilman. Other recipients were Mrs. Ruth Garner (1949), Mrs. Ruel Tyson (1950), and Mrs. Chester Walsh (1951). _________________________________________________________________ Quick access to your favorite MSN content and Windows Live with Internet Explorer 8. http://ie8.msn.com/microsoft/internet-explorer-8/en-us/ie8.aspx?ocid=B037MSN55C0701A

Race for Antartica; Admiral Byrd and Pitt County Anyone familiar with world history knows the name of the famous American Polar explorer, Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd. While it is known that Admiral Byrd led six major expeditions into the Polar regions and it is a little known fact that several Pitt Countians served under him on these treks. Richard Evelyn Byrd (1888-1957) was a native of Winchester, Va. and a 1912 graduate of the United States Naval Academy. Following his graduation from the Naval Academy, Byrd became a naval aviator in WWI and pioneered many techniques for navigating airplanes over the open ocean including drift indicators and bubble sextants. His expertise in this area resulted in his appointment to plan the flight path for the U.S. Navy's 1919 transatlantic crossing. On May 9, 1926, Byrd made a second attempt to fly over the North Pole. Flying with naval aviator, Floyd Bennett in the "Josephine Ford," named after the daughter of a major contributor to his expedition, the 38-year-old Byrd this time met with success. According to Byrd, he and Bennett flew over the North Pole, despite having developed a dangerous oil leak. When he arrived back at the Spitsbergen airfield in Norway much earlier than expected and announced his feat, skeptics voiced their doubts. Those doubts still linger, but for this extraordinary heroic achievement, he was awarded the Medal of Honor by a special Act of Congress and attained the status of American Hero. Byrd then turned his attention to the opposite end of the globe and announced his intention of flying over and claiming for America the vast uncharted spaces of Antarctica. Byrd departed the United States on his first Antarctic expedition on Aug. 28, 1928, with four ships loaded with three planes, 95 dogs, 650 tons of supplies, and 42 men headed for a place as unknown and treacherous as the far reaches of outer space. The expedition took two months to reach its destination and upon arrival they had to work quickly to establish a base camp before the total blackness of winter descended. Expedition members, outfitted in kangaroo hide boots, caribou gloves, and fur parkas set up their base at a spot nine miles inland. Byrd christened it “Little America.” It was from this point that Byrd and Bernt Balchen, the man whom Byrd chose as his pilot after the death of Floyd Bennett, made their successful, first-ever flight over the South Pole on November 29, 1928. After 14 months on the ice, Byrd and his men headed for home. Upon arrival, Byrd was once again given a hero's welcome. The Navy promoted him to the rank of Admiral and to millions of Americans, Byrd was now known as the “Admiral of the Antarctic.” On his second expedition, in 1934, Byrd spent five winter months alone operating a meteorological station from which he narrowly escaped with his life after suffering carbon monoxide poisoning from a poorly-ventilated stove. This expedition is described by Byrd in his autobiography “Alone” and commemorated in a U.S. postage stamp issued at the time. Admiral Byrd's third expedition to Antarctica in 1939 was his first one on which he had the official backing of the U.S. government. The project included extensive studies of geology, biology, meteorology and exploration. Within a few months, in March 1940, Byrd was recalled to active duty in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. The expedition continued in Antarctica without him. From 1942 to 1945 he headed important missions to the Pacific, including surveys of remote islands for airfields. On one assignment he visited the fighting front in Europe. He was repeatedly cited for meritorious service and was present at the Japanese Surrender. Admiral Byrd's fourth expedition to Antarctica in 1946-47, known as “Operation Highjump,” was the largest Antarctic expedition to date. In 1946, US Navy Secretary, James Forrestal assembled a huge amphibious naval force for an Antarctic Expedition expected to last six to eight months. Besides the flagship, Mount Olympus, and the aircraft carrier, Philippine Sea, there were thirteen US Navy support ships, six helicopters, six flying boats, two seaplane tenders and fifteen other aircraft. The total number of personnel involved was over 4,000. The armada arrived in the Ross Sea on December 31, 1946, and made aerial explorations of an area half the size of the United States, recording ten new mountain ranges. The expedition was terminated abruptly at the end of February 1947, six months early, and the entire remaining armada returned immediately to the United States. The early termination of the mission was never explained and is used by UFO theorists as part of a fascinating tale about Byrd finding a UFO base in the ice and meeting aliens. Admiral Byrd’s last expedition to Antarctica was part of a multi-national collaboration for the International Geophysical Year. In 1956, Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed Byrd as officer-in-charge of U.S. Antarctic programs to command “Operation Deep Freeze,” which established permanent Antarctic bases at McMurdo Sound, the Bay of Whales, and the South Pole. Coming back to the present, research has uncovered that several Pitt Countian’s have served with Admiral Byrd on his expeditions. Only two names are known, Ross B. Hill and Lt. A. M. Tripp, who were both part of “Operation Highjump.” According to a small mention in a 1947 newspaper article, Ross B. Hill, was the son of Mrs. Blanche B. Hill, of Reade Street, Greenville, NC. He had been in the Navy for 17 months, having served in Cuba before sailing on Jan. 2, 1947 with the Byrd Expedition on the Philippine Sea. Nothing more on Ross B. Hill is known. In another 1947 newspaper article, Lt. A. M. Tripp, a Naval Assistant Fiscal Officer, was mentioned as serving on the USS Merrick with Byrd’s Expedition. We know that Lt. Alonzo Morgan Tripp, was born on Dec. 29, 1906 in Stokes, Pitt County, the son of John Morgan Tripp and Sallie Henrietta Tripp (daughter of William Henry Tripp and Sarah Alvania Vincent). Lt. Tripp entered the Navy on Dec. 27, 1929 at Baltimore, Md. He worked his way up the ranks and was made warrant officer on Nov. 13, 1944, and was commissioned a Lieutenant (junior grade) on Jan. 20, 1946. During WWII he served in both the European and Pacific theaters. He was attached to the ship salvage group under Commodore Sullivan, which worked with the Army engineers in clearing such ports as Cherbourg, Brest, Le Havre and Rouen. He then was stationed on the USS Merrick, which was commissioned in 1945, and sailed around the South Pacific and Japan. In 1947, he was married with two children living in Portsmouth, Va. More research may uncover the other names of Pitt Countian’s who served under the famous Admiral Richard E. Byrd. _________________________________________________________________ Rediscover Hotmail®: Get e-mail storage that grows with you. http://windowslive.com/RediscoverHotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Rediscover_Storage1_042009

I do not have Mooring ancestors to my knowledge, however I collect information on families of interest to me in Pitt County. I also have an interest in the Llewellyn family because I suspect a Llewellyn ancestor, since one of my ancestors has LLewellyn as a middle name. I have in my collection of data: Jesse H.

"The Mooring property was in the northern part of the county (Pitt County), north of Tar River." Source: LaRue Mooring Evans, Article #961, Pitt County Chronicles, Vol. I.. This northeastern section of Pitt County adjoins both Martin and Beaufort counties. Perhaps the "L." initial of your John L. Mooring is for the family name Llewellyn. In Chronicles of Pitt County, North Carolina, Vol. I, the Mooring family information goes back three more generations. "John Mooring and his wife Jane White resided in Isle of Wight, England. Their son Christopher (Mooring) was born there in 1690. Source: LaRue Mooring Evans, Article #961, Pitt County Chronicles, Vol. I. In 1710, 103 years after the settlement of Jamestown, Christopher Mooring came to Surry County, Virginia. In the records of Surry County we find, "Certificate is granted Christopher Mooring to the secretary's office for 50A of land for the importation of himself into this colony, he having made oath as the law directs being free when he came in." These same county records show that he married Mary Simmons, and they had six children: Christopher, Jr., William, Lucy, Jane, Mary, and John. Christopher, Sr. died in 1750 and his will, probated on March 20, 1753 in Southwark Parish, Surry, deeded "estate in England to sons John, Christopher, and William." Of course, at that time daughters did not inherit land. Source: LaRue Mooring Evans, Article #961, Pitt County Chronicles, Vol. I. Although the record is not clear, it appears as if his (Christopher Mooring, Sr.'s) son John (b.1720, d.1800) married twice, Elizabeth Harris and Sarah Harris. Also, according to DB-O (1797-1801) of Pitt County , John (Mooring) and his family now lived in North Carolina (when he died). According to the county records, he had seven children (when he died)… Source: LaRue Mooring Evans, Article #961, Pitt County Chronicles, Vol. I. Note: Seven children - not clear which of the mothers belongs to each of the children. Since there is also a Harris ancestor, perhaps the "H." in your Jesse's given name stands for Harris. I have not verified any of this, but I have listed my sources. Trish Worthington Cobb On Apr 4, 2009, at 7:30 AM, Tag27408@aol.com wrote: > Jesse H Mooring is the 3rd great-grandfather of my wife.

My grandfather on my Dad's side was Joseph McDaniel Williams but i have all the info for him. He did live in Elm city also a shoirt time. He did not as far as I know go to a Baptist church . He was originally from Nash County. He helped build Thompson Chapel Pennecostal Church on Thompson Chapel Road in Wilson Co. NC. He was born in 1901. So I am pretty sure as I know his parents that this line is different.
