Was wondering if anyone had a photo of the mill and if it is a site you can still visit. It belonged to my GGGF John Mhoon and was passed to his son James Geroge Mhoon. I did find it on a map, but no surrounding information.

Hello all, I am looking for info. on the RAWLS families of HERTFORD-BERTIE Co's, NC, Henry-Early co's GA & Dyer-Haywood co's, TN. David Rawls was the father of JEREMIAH, CATHERINE and MARY RAWLS and possibly LUCINDA, ELIZABETH, REBECCA, RAWLS MARY md. MATHIAS BAKER, LUCINDY MD. JOHN BIRD, ELIZABETH MD. DEMPSEY NOWELL, REBECCA MD. MATHIAS BAKER after her sisters death, CATHERINE MD. ELISHA H. JERNAGAN. Some of them moved to HAYWOOD CO., TENNESSEE. JOSEPH W. RAWLS had married EMILY NOWELL, Dau. of DEMPSEY NOWELL and ELIZABETH RAWLS, They lived in HAYWOOD CO., TN. REUBIN RAWLS was a son of CORNELIUS RAWLS and MARY ANN NORFLEET of NANSEMOND CO., VA. Who was related to HARDY RAWLS. Their son REUBIN Married MANERVA OLDS and moved from GREEN CO., NC. first to HAYWOOD CO., TN. IN 1833 Then a year later to DYER CO., TN. I highly suspect that JOSEPH W. RAWLS was at least related to REUBIN and MANERVA if not a son. after the death of REUBIN RAWLS His widow lived in HAYWOOD CO., TN. At the same time JOSEPH W. RAWLS lived there. CIRCUMSTANTIAL yes, BUT, a fairly strong link. WILLIAM RAWLS of SAMPSON CO., NC. 1820 census was another son of CORNELIUS RAWLS and was on a deed with REUBIN in PITT CO., NC. IN 1826 With REUBIN RAWLS a wit. the first deed dated 25 Mar 1826 states CHARLES C. JINKINS {son of CHARLES JINKINS} To WILLIAM RAWLS of GREENE CO., NC. WIT: WILLIAM CLARK The second deed April 26, 1826, WILLIAM RAWLS {SAMPSON CO.} to WILKES BROOKS and WILLIAM CLARK, Wits: H. H. FRIZZLE and REUBIN RAWLS. Any info. is truly appreciated. BOBBY RAWLS BIG SPRING, TEXAS

Just an FYI. I live a few miles from the National Archives Regional office in Fort Worth. The last time I visited I got to see how documents are being digitized. It turns out the the LDS family center had two people there doing the work on contract. They use high-speed, very expensive cameras, set above a table top. One individual was copying 3 X 5 Court Record cards from the 1940's and his handling speed was a blur. The system also does meta-data (OCR) capture of typed / printed information. I believe the software package was about $15K / machine. At this rate, it won't be too long before the availability of documentation opens up new information, and of course new challenges. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Friday, January 26, 2007 12:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NCBERTIE] Copying Try the LDS Family History Center near you.

I have never had any problems in Northampton County. I do know that the old books with the spines they don't do copies because of the damage to the spines. I was told that when I first started going there. Also I was told that the same could be found in the Archives in Raleigh. Northampton, Bertie & Hertford Counties have always been a big help to me and answer any questions I may have. faye --- Neil Baker <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't know if it's legal or not, but I do know > Chowan County would not > allow me to photo copy a "Cowand" will in the late > 1700's.

Hi, Neil. The reason: It is easy to break the spine/binding by flattening a book page and holding it down to gain a copy.

How about digital photo without flash?????????/ Herb Clark

Hi, Amelia. Thanks for the compliment; my answers are my way of thanking the MANY, MANY folks who have helped me over now 50+ years. I think Herb has the best idea - a digital camera. I always carry mine, just in case I come across clerks who, as you say, seem to gain pleasure by preventing honest researchers to gain copies of their materials. Before you take the camera to the courthouse, practice with any newspaper, book or document you have in your personal collection. By doing so, you will be able to move quickly through that photography, thus avoiding still another conflict with such arrogant people. While I am sure that, as in NC, VA, SC, etc., all states have rules as to what is "public record" and supposedly open to the public, in the name of care of such records those same clerks can control how, when, and the extent to which copies may be made. So, your rights are quite without practical remedy. Thus, I suggest you put aside what the law might be as to such matters. If the states' archives, local archives, societies, or the LDS have not yet copied the records you want (you should check), then - again as Herb suggested - buy or borrow a camera, practice using it, and then call the clerk's office a few days or a week before your visit and say, "Since I know how very busy you are, I would ask on what day next week (or month or whenever) it would be convenient for me to visit your office and take some photographs of your records." Beyond these suggestions, I have no further answers for you other than to suggest that you make contact with the local gen. society, and there seek help with someone who is on good terms with and accustomed to being seen by that clerk. Good luck. Paul ....I'd like to share a true story and need some feedback. Northampton County, Jackson Court house. My cousin Mary Jo Parker-Perkins went there for some records.

I don't know if it's legal or not, but I do know Chowan County would not allow me to photo copy a "Cowand" will in the late 1700's. I think I remember they said if it was loose leaf they would allow you to copy, but if it was permanent bound you could not. They would allow you to read and or write it on your personal paper.

Two thoughts. I'd ask if it would be ok to photograph them and use a good digital camera and tripod. Second, does NC have an Open Records / Public Information law. In Texas you could ask for specific copies and they would be provided for a fee. The only possible refusal may be for documents that are unique historic value and already damaged. The other place I'd contact is the NC state archives to see how to proceed with gaining the access locally. Perhaps those documents are already online as was my 5 GGF's will from 1794. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 7:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NCBERTIE] FYI In a message dated 1/25/2007 11:39:37 A.M.

The bright light from a Xerox machine could cause damage to old documents. Also just the physical act of dragging something like an old deed or will book to the machine and flattening it on the glass plate could cause damage. This could be part of the rationale not to allow copying of old documents.

Hope all is well with you and that you and your family are happy. Interesting that you ask, since I too asked myself that question upon reading the note. I do, however, very much suspect that Utah permits such vital statistics to be published after 50 years has passed. Since I have not read the statutes, I can not atall be sure. Still, notice that only the records through 1954 will be open to search. There is one other possibility that occurs to me; it may be that the counties are not required to forward their VS records to the State till 50 years after the events.

It may be a good source for many. ----- Original Message ----- 250,000 Utah Death Certificates Viewable Online M E R I D I A N M A G A Z I N E More than 250,000 Utah Death Certificates now Viewable Online SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - FamilySearch(tm), in conjunction with the Genealogical Society of Utah and the Utah State Archives and Records Service, announced today that the state's free online index to death certificates is now linked to original images of the historic documents. The integration of the index with free digital pictures of the death certificates issued from 1905 to 1954 by the state will open doors to additional information for family historians and genealogists with Utah ties. To search the index and view the certificates, users need to go to http://historyresearch.utah.gov/indexes/index.html<http://historyresearchuta h.gov/indexes/index.html> < http://historyresearch.utah.gov/indexes/index.html<http://historyresearchuta h.gov/indexes/index.html>.> . The online index to 250,000+ Utah deaths was created by the State Office of Vital Records and Statistics and has searchable information limited to the name of the deceased person, his date of death, sex, and where he died. The Utah State Archives turned to FamilySearch to help them get the digital images online. FamilySearch digitized the images and provided the technology to link the images of the certificates to the state's online index. The linking process was completed incredibly fast for a project of this nature and magnitude - a few weeks. The names of Utah's deceased are now very much alive, searchable, and viewable online - and for free. "There is so much more information of family history importance that can be found on the certificate itself," said Glen Fairclough, processing and reference archivist for the Utah State Archives. Before the certificates were viewable online, Fairclough said patrons had to order copies through the mail for a fee or visit the state archives office in person. "The value of viewing the image of the original death certificate is that it saves you time, money, and provides rich genealogy data for the family historian," said Paul Nauta, manager of public affairs for FamilySearch. Captured on a death certificate are the names and birth places of the deceased person's parents, place and date of the decedent's birth, marital status, occupation, permanent residence, place and date of burial, time of death, chief cause and contributory factors of death, and if applicable, where illness was contracted and the duration of the illness. Users merely need to type in an ancestor's name who died in Utah between 1905 to 1954, and they will be directed to a brief summary of the ancestor's death certificate with a link to view the original image. Users need to simply click on the certificate image to see a larger, high quality view of the original death certificate. For more information about the FamilySearch digital image linking technology or services, record custodians should contact Brad Wilkes, [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. FamilySearch is a nonprofit subsidiary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It maintains the world's largest repository of genealogical resources with vital records from over 110 countries, territories and possessions. FamilySearch promotes family history (genealogical) preservation and access efforts through the services of FamilySearch.org, the Genealogical Society of Utah, the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, and more than 4,500 family history centers in 70 countries.
