Wow, that's a lot of information. Thanks for sharing it! Do you happen to have any reason to believe that this Augustus David Childs married Eula Savannah Vance after Susan Carpenter died? I am descended from Eula Savannah Vance and her first husband, John Wilson Hughes (d. April 1911). Eula married an Augustus D Childs (I would be surprised if there were two of them in western NC at the same time). I'll be happy to share what I have if there is any interest.

Posted on: Avery Co. NC Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Avery/10468 Surname: Buchanan, Hobson ------------------------- I started working for Penn Dixie cement corp in Kingsport in 1954. The plant was built in 1912, and they used iron ore from the Cranberry mine to manufacture cement at that time. It was brought by Tweetsie to Johnson City where it was transferred to the Clinchfield. The cars had double wheels so that they could run both on the narrow gauge and standard gauge tracks.

Do you have publication information for the book you mentioned? I am not familiar with it. Is is strictly Avery Co. or does it include surrounding counties? Does it mention whether he was a veteran of the Union or Confederate army? This gives me a whole new lead. Thanks so much.
Posted on: Avery Co.

Posted on: Avery Co. NC Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Avery/10459 Surname: Pritchard, Hughes ------------------------- Benjamin Pritchard is my ggggrandfather and supposedly died in June, 1917 in Avery County. He was married to Mary "Mollie" Hughes, who died in April, 1906 in Mitchell County -- the county lines moved; I don't think they did. IGI from LDS Family search lists children as Elmyra, Aldecca, Jacob, Hester, Jeremiah, Julia Ann, John Sanders, Louise, Evan, and Emaline, all born in Burke or Mitchell Counties between 1852 and 1874. The only reference I can find is 1900 Census for Mitchell County which lists Benjamin as 76 and Mollie as 69, married 52 years with niece Emma Hughes, age 18, and ggranddaughter Essie, age 2. FamilySearch also shows Benjamin's parents as Cynthia Pritchard and Joe Hobson. I cannot document any of this and am looking for any suggestions or information to get through this wall. I know that daughter Elmyra married a Stephen Winters and Elmyra was a widow living in Carter County, TN in 1900. I cannot find them at any other time either. Any help is appreciated.

The following message is from a non-subscriber to the mail list. Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2001 03:40:52 -0800 From: Lesa <lgosnell@conninc.com> To: ncavery-l@rootsweb.com Subject: {not a subscriber} Mary L Payne Here is my brick wall. I have been trying to find this family for over 5 years with very few new leads. Just thought I would throw it out there one more time to see if anyone has any of these names in there data. Mary L Payne census of 1880 Wilkes Co, NC Job's Cabin Township Payne Mary L 37 born abt 1843 Calvin 12 born 1867 Rebecca A 10 born 1869 Francis M 8 born abt 1872 Magdaline looks like a 5 but could be 3 born abt 1877 If this census is correct, Mary L Payne would have been born abt 1843, NC. Nothing else is known about Mary except she used the name "Eliza." According to the marriage information of Calvin and Rebecca in Caldwell Co. Her oldest son Calvin was Thomas Calvin Payne born 1867, NC. Married Sarah Caroline Mays on March 21 1891, Caldwell Co, NC. Calvin died Oct 31 1925, Gaston Co, NC. Rebecca A- Annie/Anna Rebecca Payne born May 27 1869, NC. Married Columbus Franklin Mays March 21 1891, Caldwell Co. Married same day as her brother Calvin. Columbus was the brother of Sarah Caroline Mays. Annie Rebecca/Anna Rebecca died Feb 12 1936. Francis M Payne - born 1872, NC Magdaline Payne born 1877, NC. There is a Bastardy Bond listed in Burke Co for: Elizabeth Payne 24 May 1869 Bondsman Sidney Tate & J.W. Walker This could be for the second child of Mary L "Eliza" Payne. There is another Bastardy Bond listed in Alexander Co for: Lydia Payne Mar 1877 Lydia Payne Mary Annrnes Daniel Fox and J.P. White This could be for Mary's 4th child. Was Mary L Payne really Mary Lydia Elizabeth Payne? Calvin and Caroline Payne lived in Caldwell Co and later moved to Gaston Co, NC. Rebecca A and Columbus Mays lived in Caldwell Co and died/buried there. In 1860 Wilkes Co we have listed: #670/670 Pain, W.W., male 52, b. NC Pain, Rebecca, 37, b. NC Pain, William, 20, b. NC Pain, Mary, 18, b. NC Pain, Harris, 16, b. NC Pain, Martha, 13, b. NC Pain, Anna, 8, b. NC Pain, Leander, 7, b. NC Pain Hambleton, 1, b. NC I believe this is the Mary Payne I am looking for. I already know the Rebecca that is listed could not be Mary's mother. W. W. Pain/Payne born abt 1808 married twice to two Rebecca's. Rebecca Tugman was wife #1( January 23, 1833) and Rebecca Laws was wife # 2 (listed on this census) Mary L Payne named her second child and first daughter, Rebecca. Was Mary L Payne the daughter of W. W. Pain/Payne and Rebecca Tugman? Anyone out there have information on this family? Thanks, Lesa
