I descend from their daughter Eltonhead Conway that married Henry Thacker, Sr. Edwin Conway, Sr. was third clerk for Northampton Co., Va. and had land in Northampton, Lancaster and Middlesex counties in Va. His son Edwin married Sarah Fleete and Elizabeth Thornton.. and his grandson son was Col. Edwin Conway that married Ann Ball. As a backgroiund Martha Eltonhead had 4 sisters that came from England to Va. Here are 3 of them. (1) Agatha Eltonhead married 3rd to Sir Henry Chicheley. He is a first cousin to Diana Skipwith. (2) Eleanor Eltonhead married 3rd to Col. John Carter for whom Diana Skipwith witnessed two deeds in 1665 using her maiden name. (3) Alice Eltonhead married 2nd to Henry Corbin. Col. John Carter left a gift to my grandmother Eltonhead Conway that married Henry Thacker, Sr. Pete, I have been told this part but haven't checked it out yet...... Both my Edwin Conway, Sr. and Col. John Carter were Godparents to two of Capt. Thomas Carter and Katherine Dale's children. Also, Letiticia Corbyn (Corbin) ... later became the wife of Richard Lee. ... stood as Godmother to Edward Carter eldest son with Diana Skipwith Dale, Edward Dale and my Edwin Conway, Sr. I understand Diana Skipwith married Col. Edward Dale and had a brother Grey Skipwith and their father was Sir Henry Skipwith from England. _------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >From Pete: Is there anyone on this list that is familiar with the Carter genealogy in Bertie County during the 1700s? Captain Thomas Carter Sr #21481, b. c1630, d. 10-22-1700. He married Katharine Dale #21482, married 05-04-1670, (daughter of Major Edward Dale #21483 and Diana Skipworth #21491). Katharine: She was married by Rev John Sheppard Data in this report from Winborne Colonial History, Sally's Family Place, Barry Hayes, records furnished by Wiley Warren Harrell son of Louise Carter, plus personal research data by Pete Austin #1 with family connection with Peele and Knight Clan: dated through 01-30-2009. Captain Thomas Carter came to Virginia prior to 1652 from England. He was a Captain of Virginia Militia, Justice, Member of Council, Deputy Clerk of his County and a member House of Burgess in 1667. Thomas was twenty-one years of age when he came to Virginia. He had the distinguished title of Country Gentleman. His coat of arms proves that this family was from England and that he came from the Bedfordshire Carters Clan. Captain Thomas Carter was married twice, bringing his first wife with him from England. Her name was not known. By this marriage he had three children, who all died young. >From his 2nd marriage to Katharine Dale they had ten sons and three daughters. She was the oldest daughter of Major Edward Dale. In 1655 - 1674 he was Clerk of Lancaster Co. From 1670-'71-79'-80 was High Sheriff and 1677-82-83 a member of the House of Burgesses. Major Dale took part in Beacon's Rebellion. On Dec 8 1674 Edward Dale conveyed 500 acres to his daughter plus slaves, cattle hogs, horse and a colt. Major Edward Dale was of the ancient family of Dale's of Northampton and London, which originally was the County of Chester. He was the father of Katharine Dale Carter that married Thomas Carter. Elizabeth's sister married Sir Grey Skipworth of England. Sir Grey was the 2nd son of Sir Henry Skipworth. The Skipworth family sought refuge in Colonial Virginia after King Charles the First was beheaded. They were Royalist and supported the Crown during the revolutions by Parliament. He and his family had to flee to save their lives. Sir Henry Skipworth at that time was the 1st Baronet of Presmould, Leicestershire, England. The Skipworth ancestry chart goes back to Henry the Conqueror. The Skipworth family tree can be found in Burke's "Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies" of England. Capt Thomas Carter and Katharine Dale Carter's 3rd son John Carter married Frances Ball the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Ball. Joseph and Elizabeth Ball were also the parents of Mary Ball that married General George Washington the 1st President of the United States of America. John Carter was brother-in-law To General Washington. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NCBERTIE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Betty, Do you have dates for Isiah Thomas? My ggg-aunt, Temperence Tayloe, married an Isiah Thomas b. abt. 1793. Isiah did have a sister, Mary, who married a Jones, but she could have been married more than once??? My great uncle, Will Hyman, was married to Alice Harrell whose grandfather was Donald Carlos Harrell. He went by the initials D.C. and he died about 1898 in Bertie Co. Could this be your D.C. I know he was married to a White, but he also could have had another marriage.

Hey, I've always been a subscriber via the digest mode, and have never found the email traffic from the list to be a problem. Today, however, we have received at least five separate digests, despite the fact that there are not enough new posts to account for more than one. The problem seems to be that digest subscribers, instead of following the instruction to send posts as new emails to ncbertie@rootweb.com, are using Reply. Every time they do that, the entire contents of the previous digest are included in their post. Since the sending of a new digest is triggered by the number of lines that have accumulated since the last digest, this use of Reply creates multiple digests daily with the same messages repeated over and over and over. The solution is simple. If you subscribe to the digest mode, please DO NOT USE REPLY when you post, as it just clutters up everyone's mailboxes. If you want to quote an individual post while replying to it, but received it in the digest, please delete everything in the digest except that one post before you hit the send button. Thanks, Paul

I posted a "respectful" statement to that list stating that I felt their discussions were inappropriate for a genealogy forum. I never heard a word in response to my post. This same subject came up on an Illinois list I subscribed to briefly while researching my father's side. One of the members of that list became very upset at some of the non-genealogical posts. Some of the other members became very defensive and very rude statements were made among the list members.

http://www.dickshovel.com/coree.html My grandfather, Daniel Floyd ("Taud") Pate, told me the Coree were the "worst of the bad Indians." They were originally Bertie County Indians, according to Pate family tradition, lords of Currytuck and the Chowan Valley, before being driven southward by the Iroquoian Tuscarora. The Keyauwee are identified with the Coree and Nynee as tribes against which Gov. Daniel declared war as early as 1703, according to colonial Records of the North Carolina Executive Council. http://www.dickshovel.com/coreepro.html It was enlightening for me to recently learn from Billie Faye Evans (from South Carolina Baptist records in the Crozier Manuscript, Furman University) that Charles Pate, Jr., was born 1 May 1772 in Bertie County, N.C., that he married a Sarah Henderson, and in 1772 they had children Sarah, Charles, Mary, Rebecca, Ann, Shadrack (who settled in Wayne County), and Joel. This information indicates connection to a prominent and ambitious and successful line of land brigands, and proves my line back to Thoroughgood Pate of the Rappahannock Valley and Roquis Pocosin on Cashie River, sometimes of Edenton, where he last married Sarah Chevin, sister of Deputy Lord Proprietor Nathaniel Chevin and mother of William Pate, ward of Nathaniel Chevin. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Basses are documented as being French Huguenots, who masqueraded as Italians, bribed the King of England, and ended up as Nansemond Indians. Black Creek, is just north of Patetown. Richard Bass, who with the Jernigans and others founded the town of Waynesboro, came from there. Thus began a basic political, social and genealogical split in Wayne County, that was manifested in the depredations of the Barna Jernigan Gang, made up of Tories and Indians, which continues to our time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Faye Hays

During the time I belonged to that list, there were discussions about what they were going to watch on TV that night, jokes, political discussions, and their personal health problems. I posted a "respectful" statement to that list stating that I felt their discussions were inappropriate for a genealogy forum. I never heard a word in response to my post. This same subject came up on an Illinois list I subscribed to briefly while researching my father's side. One of the members of that list became very upset at some of the non-genealogical posts. Some of the other members became very defensive and very rude statements were made among the list members. I think it's great that our Bertie list can discuss our opinions without things turning ugly. Beth ----- Original Message ----- From: "K.

I posted a "respectful" statement to that list stating that I felt their discussions were inappropriate for a genealogy forum. I never heard a word in response to my post. This same subject came up on an Illinois list I subscribed to briefly while researching my father's side. One of the members of that list became very upset at some of the non-genealogical posts. Some of the other members became very defensive and very rude statements were made among the list members.

I'm not a Jernigan researcher, but I have read about the Jernigans off and on in different places. One is Lame Dave Jernigan who is talked about on this website: http://www.dickshovel.com/coree20.html This is a "very" interesting site and has lots and lots of material that has been researched. These Jernigans ended up in Wayne County, but I'd better dollars to donuts they came through Bertie or one of the surrounding counties. "But there were so many Pates named Daniel in the area, he became the preacher man known as Silas, "A True Predestinarian Baptist," it says on his tombstone, when he answered the call to preach. Christian's mother Sithy was married to Jesse Ammons, a Coree. Her grandfather was "Lame" David Jernigan. The Pates and Jernigans were on opposing sides for years in political conflict that rocked and shocked the county for generations. This conflict is obliquely related to The Search for Johnny Chevin. It was part of a political struggle over the development of Wayne County."
