Posted on: Avery Co. NC Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Avery/434 Surname: Shell ------------------------- I checked the 1880 Mitchell County Census but there is no George Shell listed. Do you know the names of his parents (my ancestor, Mary Anne Shell, was born in 1842 and she was also from Carter County)?
Seasons Greetings, The Museum is officially closed for the season. But, I anticipate being here sporadically on Fridays. If you need to contact us, and are patient, I will still pick up and answer mail whenever I'm in. I do not anticipate having any books restocked before next season. If this should change I'll let you know. Have a wonderful and safe holiday. Thanks, (Pepé) Mary Ann Avery Museum

Avery County wasn't formed until 1911. You might want to check the Mitchell or Watauga census. Connie Diane Nicholson Smith wrote: > > Posted on: Avery Co.

I wonder if there are any Odom's still living in the area? Kersie's wife was MABEL not Mary. I really appreciate your response.
Hi, Audrey :) I have Barbara F. Taylor in my database but no info on her parentage. She is in the 1850 census for Watauga County, and the 1860, 1870 Census for Burke County, NC. I have her birth as August 26, 1806 and her death as April 12, 1891. I didn't list sources for these dates (I hate myself sometimes). I have some info on their children if you want it. Sarah Taylor m. Isiah Franklin - Isiah is mentioned in Gurney Franklin's "The Franklin Genealogy" (yikes! - but better than no source at all) and I have a note beside Sarah to "look in Avery County Heritage Vol. I. No more info on her at this point. Hannah Taylor is mentioned in the 1860 and 1870 census for Burke County. No info on her parents but I have info on their children if you want it. You probably have more info on descendants of these folks than I do, and a lot of my info came from you I'm sure, but I'll be happy to send it back to you :) Leslie > -----Original Message----- > From: Audrey Annable Franklin [mailto:jrfranklin@earthlink.net] > Sent: Saturday, November 04, 2000 2:38 PM > To: NCAVERY-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [NCAVERY] Wiseman/Taylor > > > I have quite a few Taylors in my data but they are collateral and not > families.

Posted on: Avery Co. NC Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/NC/Avery/416 Surname: ODOM, MOODY, PRESNELL, DAVIS ------------------------- Thanks for the info and quick response. Is Cranberry in Avery County? I have Kersie T. Odom married to Mabel Moody 10/1921. She is my great-aunt. I saw his (Kersie) obituary and jotted down the "Cranberry" and his parents names. It's a match. Can you tell me if there were any siblings? Is it possible to get a look at this "Heritage" book through the library? I am in Ohio, but have many relatives in the Boone, NC area.
