The main focus is on Eli Littlejohn who married Mary ?Harlan; ?Boone The question first and then the history of the problem. Questions: Could anyone tell me about the family of Eli Littlejohn and Mary Harlan? My gg-grandfather, Hugh Taylor, had two sons illegimately. They were James Taylor born 1832 and John Taylor born 1837. We do not know (positively) who the mother was to these two Taylor boys. When I read the Caldwell County Heritage Book, it refers to a family ancestory in a backward's sequence: Robert Glen Taylor; his father Robert Stantly; his grandfather, Benjamin Franklin Taylor; his great-grandfather______________; then in the sequence his ggreat-grandfather, Hugh Taylor; then his ggg-grandfather, Eli Littlejohn. Robert Glen Taylor, Robert Stanley Taylor, Benjamin Franklin Taylor, ________________, Hugh Taylor, Eli Littlejohn. First I am trying to find the missing linking between Benjamin Franklin Taylor and Hugh Taylor. Could one of the illegimate sons of Hugh Taylor fit this link? Secondly, Hugh Taylor was a Taylor; how is his father Eli Litteljohn? or was he an illegimate son of Mary ?Harlan or ?Boone as in this same article(number 532) in the Caldwell Heritage Book or is it Mary Harlan that married Eli Littlejohn in the article number 330 in the same Heritage Book? Or another woman unknown? According to Article 330 Eli Littlejohn born 1740 married Mary Harlan, December 1770 and died 1815. The first federal census (1790) records only one Litlejohn living in Burke County--one Eli Littlejohn, "a householder who had living in his family one son over 16 years of age, three under 16, and a wife and two daughters." All information is found in the Caldwell County Heritage Book. If anyone can help me, I will be very grateful. Donna C. (WV)

Anna, E-mail me directly and I'll see if I can help you find the right cemetary. There are several in Heaton, but I think I know which one you want. They are all rather small.

Posted on: Avery Co. NC Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Avery?read=318 Surname: Wright, Grey ------------------------- My great-aunt described the cemetery that my G-grandfather William Wright was buried in (after he was murdered between 1880-1890)--a cemetery in Heaton. She said it was a small cemetery just above the main road in Heaton. I'm not that familiar with the area; I have been through the area only once and had no luck finding any such cemetery. I am hoping to travel that way again in the next few months and was wondering if anyone else might be more familiar with the area. I am not sure just how many cemeteries are "above" the main road and just what would be considered the main road. My Wright family has been a real stumbling block for years, any ideas?

I am searching for any information on my great grandfather Nathaniel Wagner. It seems as though he and his family may have lived in several locations. I have only been able to trace him to Johnson Co. Tennessee for the year of 1900. So far I have found no record before or after. It has been said that he had ties of some sort to Washington Co. VA and also around Ashe Co.,NC. However I don't know what these ties are. He could have live in any of the areas surrounding Northeastern Tennessee. Family Info: Nathaniel Wagner: born approx 1854 wife: Serelda C. Wagner daughters: Callie, Mertie, and Margaret grandson: William Stacy Wagner ( son of Callie father reported to be Ace Manes-- never married to Callie) born 1897 If you find any info please reply! Thanks, Dana Hughes Hunnicutt

Thanks Connie for the information. A notice has been placed on the Avery County NCGenWeb page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncavery/ When the Heritage Fest information has been posted on the Chamber of Commerce page, please let me know so I may link to it. Mike

The 2nd Annual Heritage Fest will take place on the Square in Down Town Newland on June 3, 2000. Family Booths are available for $25.00. This includes a tent, table, two folding chairs, and a sign with your family name on it. You will probably prefer to bring lawn chairs so that you will be more comfortable. The Family Booth is the place for your kin-folk to gather to exchange information. We already have branches of several families signed up: Watson, Burleson, Tolley, Franklin, Vance, Buchanan, McCourry, Fletcher, Hughes, and Aldridge. More information will be available when we get a web-site up through the Chamber of Commerce. Plan to come!! Coniie Greene Javan Michael DeLoach wrote: > > Hi Pepé, > > Thanks for the update.

Hi Everyone, Yvonne Jackson <YVon460@aol.com> has been added to the subject Avery County Web page as a researcher of the OLLIS, TAYLOR AND WITT families: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncavery/surnames/index.html It is surprising that she is the first researcher listed for the OLLIS family, since this is one of the older families in the area.
