I have in my records two (2) Lamb Hardy's. One was b. 1705 d. 1761 he married Elizabeth Parrott. They had a son by the name of William Hardy whom married Edith Batchelor. A William Hardy (I don't know if its the same?) had a son by Sarah Sowell by the name Lamb Hardy b. 1/20/1754. These are people from the Salmon Creek area. These are old families from Bertie. These Hardy lines have always been fascinating to me because General Douglas Macarthur mother Mary Pinckney Hardy's family came from Bertie County. I'm still researching this line, and have very little info. -----Original Message----- From: Cathy Farris [mailto:cfarris@pacific.net] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 9:10 PM To: NCBERTIE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NCBERTIE] George Ryan Grist Mill date Subject: Re: [NCBERTIE] Grist Mill Petition George RYAN Esq.

If the William Cowen (Cowand) is William, I , then he died ca 1780. By the way, many of the names were signed by one person--look at the handwriting of the signatures. William Cowen was actually William Cowand, my ancestor. What had me a little confused was that there was a William Cowand,Jr., and a John Cake, Jr. and I didn't know which ones I was dealing with.

Dear Group, David MEADE lived in Nansemond. I have found him in a few records of the Parish. I believe Aaron ELLIS knew David MEADE. I believe Aaron ELLIS was somehow involved within the set up of Society Parish in Bertie, but I have not found any records to support this, except in the estate sale of Aaron ELLIS, money was paid to Lemuel REDDICK who was a Warden in Nansemond and collected money from people to take care of the poor within the Parish...sort of like the bonds in the Bastardy Bonds. John MORRIS was the father of Chappel Hill in Society Parish and at one time Aaron ELLIS gave the MORRIS name land right next door to his own land. Anyway, here is the verbatim copy of the original.

Does anyone know how I can get a copy of the hand drawn map accompanying, "The Windsor Story?" My gggg grandmother, Mary Phillaw, was drawn and purchased lot # 46 in 1783. I have down loaded the text of the story from the Bertie web site but the map will not print. I would like to have it to pin point the location for the next time I'm in Windsor.

The above individual lived in the Manteo, NC area until she died about 10 days ago. I was wondering if we might have any members in that area that might know the exact date of death. She was born in 1921. She was a second cousin. Thanks Jim

Can anyone help me or give me information on this book? Last year I purchased a book from Harvey Benton Harrison, III. He annouced his book on many of the genealogy lists. I wrote to him before he ever finished it. He was very helpful and gave me much information about one of my lines with references. When he finished the book, I sent him the money and extra for shipping it to Denmark, as this is where I am living for now. I waited several months and he finally wrote me saying that it had come back to him very messed up by the mail. He offered to mail me the book on CD. I gladly accepted this as it would be easier for me to bring back to the states when we move back. Well, it never came. I have tried to contact him nummerous times. Now of course I am wondering if I got taken. I want to give this man the benefit of a doubt....but a year? Possibly something has actually happened to this man.
