Posted on: Avery Co. NC Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Avery/385 Surname: Buchanan ------------------------- Thanks for the response. Is this publication something I can purchase or how can I access it?

I have very little information about Julie. I only recently discovered that her name was Green. She died giving birth or shortly thereafter about 1917. Her first child was born abt 1910. I am guessing that she was mid 20's to late 30's when she died so assumably her birth was sometime between 1880 and 1895. She is buried beside the baby in unmarked graves near Frank NC. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!! Terry

Can you tell me when your Julie or Julia Green was born. I have many Green(e)s in my database. Danny A. McBee. Descendant of John "Mocassin John" Green.

Hi Nancy I don't know of anyone, however, you might call the Avery County Court House. They keep birth & death records there. If George Moody died in Avery County, he should have a death certificate on file. You might get a little info on the death certificate.

Do you know of someone who would do an obit lookup for me? I need a copy of the obit of George Moody who died 09 JAN 2000 in Newland, Avery Co., NC. I may be off on the day & month, it could have been Feb.

I have the same info you do. It was given to me by my mother. However, since finding the delayed birth certificates at the Avery County Courthouse, I am beginning to doubt the validity of Sarah being a Duckworth. The info on those records list her maiden name as Tolley. Thanks for your reply. Regards Steve Peters ss_peters@mindspring.com ---------- > From: S.

Posted on: Avery Co. NC Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Avery/380 Surname: Calhoun, Duckworth, Osborne ------------------------- I have a Roby Calhoun m. Sis Duckworth. Both died in Kingsport, TN in a tornado. His parents are Barnabas B. "Barney" Calhoun m. Rachel Osborne.

Hi Audrey Thanks so much for your reply. Roby Calhoun & Sarah had another child named Merritt Calhoun born in 1899. I have Sarah's birth as December 1877 which is very close to what you have. With Roby & Sarah naming a child Merritt, this would indicate that this Sarah who married Roby Calhoun is a Tolley and not a Duckworth.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly...I know how it goes when there are reunions & stuff going on..I went to my family reunion over the 4th of July. Spent 3 weeks in Spokane doing research. Netted about 25 or 30 documents...land deeds, marriage licenses, etc. The old marriage registers sure do give a lot of info. If I don't hear from you in a couple of weeks...I will send you a reminder....I have some stuff I need to get sent out too...Thanks again....Nancy...Oh, the other two families I am researching in Avery County are the Twiggs, & Moody families. As you know Fannie m. Julius Twiggs (haven't found one single thing on him) & Fannie's daughter Polly m. Jackson Moody (found him in one census). Sometimes I think they must have a still in the hills somewhere & thought the census taker was somebody else....of course I don't even know if they drank!!

Nancy, Don't give up on me, I have been so busy lately. We have been to a reunion of some sort almost every weekend. Went on vacation had a bad bout with kidney poisoning, and this past saturday we had a Montgomery Family Reunion in Ohio, My High School Class Reunion in Spruce Pine N.C. and my Grandson got married, all on the 12th of Aug. needless to say I couldn't do all of them so I went to the wedding. My husband and I are doing 16 families and we get so many queries we take some time to answer. I started to print that up for you and my printer went haywire. I'll get my son to look at it, he's the computer "freak" in this family. If I don't get it to you in a week or two, please remind me again, I really don't mind.
