Also contact the head of the Port of Plymouth Museum, Mr. Harry Thompson, I believe. His email address is porto@williamstonnc.com. He did a program for the Edgecombe Co. Gene. Society on the Lewelling Conspircacy. He can give you back ground information on the whole thing. Contact Traci Thompson at the Edgecombe Memorial Library (Tarboro NC) and she will look up what is in the Colonial Records for you. Also ask her to look in the ECGS Newsletter for the article or material that I entered on the Lewelling Conspircacy. I have some listing in the newsletter that I know concerns Danial Buntin. If you have access to a history collection or genealogical collection that concerns NC, they may have the set of books concerning the Colonial Records. Since I don't know where you are it is hard to advise you.
