Hi, I just found this post from Mr. Harrison online and phoned him. He is apparently not well right now but the lady I spoke with was very nice and took my phone number and email address to get back with me regarding my request to purchase the book about the McDaniel family that Mr. Harrison has written. Perhaps Dawn could phone to discuss her situation with them, and find a way to resolve what I am hoping to be a series of unfortunate circumstances? Best Regards, Marianne E. H. Williams Picture Posted by: Harvey Benton Harrison, III Date: May 02, 2000 at 09:10:43 of 20698 I recently acquired a picture of a fellow named E. H. Williams from an antique store in Woodland, Northampton Couty, NC. I believe, from the information on the back, that he was either from or lived in the Richmond, VA area. This is a large wall portrait from within 10 years either way of the turn of the century (1900). The picture is in excellent condition. It is only a picture, no frame was with the portrait. If anyone knows who this fellow might be, please contact me at either petermcdaniel@hotmail.com or 252-330-4054. I would love to return this priceless item to the family. Thank you.

Dawn, I have checked the local phone book for Elizabeth City and area. There is no one by that name listed and but I will do some more in depth checking for you.

Dear Group, I have been finding many records with the female name Alise OWENS in Bertie 1760's-1790's. Does anyone know her? Thanks, Cathy

Near Old Pitch Landing in Hertford County, NC Recorded by Stanley Hoggard, David Hoggard and Neil Baker Archertown, on the Cedric Pierce Farm known as the old Hoggard place. The gravesite is adjoining to Cedric Pierce's hunting club. I will describe later on how to get to it. I doubt very few if any know about this graveyard. It's in a deeply wooded thick area. My guess is that it want be there in 30 years! "Elder Thomas Hoggard, born August 15, 1802-died June 7, 1881." "Jane Hoggard wife of J. J. Hoggard born December 1, 1823 died February 10, 1892." Part of another headstone read born October 30, 1829 died February 25, ??. I don't know who this is. Many unmarked graves in this graveyard. Rev. Thomas Hoggard was born in Bertie County, son of Jesse Hoggard and Elizabeth Myers. He was ordained at Cool Springs Baptist Church in Gates County. He later pastored Capeharts, Ross and several other Baptist Churches in Bertie for many-many years while living in Pitch Landing, Hertford County. I will give a follow up on him later.

Anyone interested in helping me tackle the 1830 census? If you have indexes...or even partial pages.... I'd love you to join in. Here's page one -- JUST the names.... Will try to get details later...

Looking back in the Census records I hae found him listed as Broglin, Brogden or Brogdon. We do know from his gchildren tht he was married twice and served in the Civil War. I was also told this family were the only Broglins in the Bertie Co area. I feel somewhere a name change came about and really want to see if I can trace where "we" came from.

In my search for information about the Gillam family of Bertie County, I found a <Thach/Thatch Home Page>.

Would he be willing to share a copy of the Gillam Family Papers with me or others on the list? I would love to access this information if anyone can help. Thanks, Ann Graham Kaasmann

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: DUCKENFIELD,DUCKINGFIELD,DUKINFIELD,DUKENFIELD Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/2UB.2ACI/191.1 Message Board Post: I hope this information about Nathaniel Duckenfield is useful: On 15th May 1768, young NATHANIEL became the fifth DUCKENFIELD baronet when his uncle SIR SAMUEL DUKINFIELD died without issue. The following year he decided to visit his mother and his North Carolina holdings. He soon informed GOVERNOR WILLIAM TYRON that he intended to settle in the province permanently. Several years later SIR NATHANIEL wrote to his friend JAMES IREDELL that he had hoped to find a wealthy wife in the colony who could help support the financial strain of a baronetcy. In January 1771, GOVERNOR TYRON nominated SIR NATHANIEL to a place on the royal council. Although he was not seated until November, SIR NATHANIEL had created a considerable stir in the council the previous April by claiming the senior position in that body by virtue of his baronetcy. He was firmly resisted in this ploy by his fellow councillors and in November took his place as a junior member. During 1771, the baronet courted HANNAH JOHNSTON, the daughter of SAMUEL JOHNSTON. Early in 1772 he proposed marriage to her but was rejected. Although HANNAH would later marry JAMES IREDELL, SIR NATHANIEL and IREDELL remained friends and corresponded until 1791. By the spring of 1772, convinced that he was not suited to managing a plantation (he owned over 3,600 acres of land) and that he would not make a "good match" in North Carolina, SIR NATHANIEL decided to return to England . In England he was induced to purchase a coronet's commission in the Queen's Dragoons. In 1773, he resigned his council seat in North Carolina, stating that he would not serve happily in revolutionary America, and he never did. When the Revolutionary War began, he refused to serve against the Americans, and on his regiment's being ordered to America, he contrived to be left behind. This exhibition of American patriotism did not avail him, however, as in 1778, his North Carolina lands were co! nfiscated by the state. He had managed, however, to deed all of his slaves to his mother after his departure from the colony. Whereas other loyalists, especially HENRY EUSTACE MCCULLOH, owned more land than SIR NATHANIEL, SIR NATHANIEL'S properties brought in more money from state sales than those of any other person except LORD GRANVILLE. His friend JAMES IREDELL attempted to prevent confiscation but was unsuccessful. In 1783, SIR NATHANIEL married KATHERINE WARDE, with whom he sired four sons and a daughter. The following year he went on half-pay as a captain in the Eighty-second Regiment of Foot -- effectively retiring from active duty. Before his mother died at DUCKENFIELD Plantation, she directed that most of her property be sold and the proceeds sent to her son. The next year Sir Nathaniel was awarded 3,000 by the Loyalist Claims Commission in London for his North Carolina losses -- considerably less that the 8,762 at which he had valued his holdings. Nevertheless, with this money and his wife's wealth, SIR NATHANIEL DUCKENFIELD appears to have lived comfortably in England for the remainder of his life. The following is the claim that SIR NATHANIEL DUCKENFIELD submitted to the Loyalist Claims Commission: THE MEMORIAL OF SIR NATHANIEL DUKINFIELD BARR OF SULHAM NEAR READING IN THE COUNTY OF BERKS, A CAPTAIN IN HIS MAJESTY'S 82 REGIMENT OF FOOT MEMORIAL OF NATHANIEL DUCKENFIELD To JOHN WILMOT ESQ., DANIEL PARKER COKE, ESQ., COLONEL ROBERT KINGSTON, COLONEL DUNDAS, and ROBERT MARSH ESQ, the Commissioners appointed by act of parliament for inquiry into the loss and services of the American Loyalists The memorial of SIR NATHANIEL DUKINFIELD Barr of Sulham near Reading in the County of Berks, a Captain in his Majesty's 82 Regiment of Foot HEREWITH That your Memorialist left the County of Bertie in the province of North Carolina in America in the year 1772 and on the 30th of March 1773 purchased a Cornetcy in the 7th (or Queen's) Regiment of Dragoons and served in the several Ranks of Cornet lieutenant and Captain in the said Regiment of Dragoons until the 6th of August 1783 at which time your Memorialist exchanged into the 82d Regiment of Foot in which last mentioned Regiment he is now Captain of a Company.

That your Memorialist received another Letter on the 3' Dec 1783 from MR.
