Is there anyone on this list that is familiar with the Carter genealogy in Bertie County during the 1700s? My Carter ancestor left Bertie Co. about 1808. His name was Turner Carter, b. ca 1780 Wife Elitha Jenkins m. Oct 1804 married Bertie Co. Children: William, Cullen, Margarate, Lewis Jenkins, Sarah Eliza, and Delilah Delilah and Margarate were born in NC 1806-07. The next child Cullen was born in Caldwell Co., KY in 1809. I have had difficulty in doing research as there was another Turner Carter b. early 1800s whose Mother was Margaret Carter. Margaret was the 2nd wife of Cullen Carter. The name similarities tend to make me think that there is a relationship there, but I have been unable to prove that. Turner Carter is mentioned in Margaret's will, but it is the younger Turner who remained in Bertie. Is anyone at all familiar with this line..or can you direct me? I have worked previously with someone who is familiar with the Cullen/Margaret line. We have not been able to identify the 1st wife. We have discussed the possibility that my Turner is from the 1st marriage but again we haven't found any proof. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Carol

Claudia In a message dated 08/16/09 19:25:23 Eastern Daylight Time, cgwhite@embarqmail.com writes: Pete, Thanks for writing back. My grandfather was Alonzo, grandmother was Marvin Cora. Their children were Ross (married Velner), William Lee (Lucille), Robert (my father, Susie Vann), Paul (Bernice Lassiter), Nannie Belle (Aaron Lewis) and Ruth (Quint Copeland). They lived in a community known as Early Station, all went to Early's Baptist Church. All of them are gone now except Aunt Lucille, who lives at Poor Town, about two miles from Early Station. Both of these communities are an Ahoskie, NC, address, which is in Hertford County, not Bertie. But my husband and I live in Bertie County. I know almost nothing about the family older than this. Usually the same names keep popping up in the same family, that's why I sent these names to you. It's a pity that when we are young enough to remember all this stuff, we have no interest. Then we get old and can't remember our own names and we get interested. Other research has shown that Nichols was a fairly common name in Bertie County back in the 1800s, but I've never been able to connect anyone to my family. J.

This may be of interest to some of you. Please let me remind you that you can get copies of all of these at the Register of Deeds Office in Bertie but they are copies not originals. Last time I was there getting copies they cost me 10 cents a copy. For those of you that cannot get to Bertie County I am sure we can get someone from the list that lives in Bertie County to get us a copy. If not I will make a list and next time I go will try to get the copies. I love to spend a day in the Register of Deeds Office. They are very friendly and courteous and helpful.

1)If you would like to be subscribed in Digest Mode, you will get all the messages combined in ONE email every 12 hours. The top portion gives the "index" to what is there, and you can easily delete. Just drop me a line, and I'll make the change to Digest for you. This will make it much easier to "delete" those you're not interested in. Do consider this if you feel swamped with messages that don't interest you. 2)It IS very important that everyone "Change" the Subject line when replying so that it reflects a new subject. This was just illustrated when people quickly replied to a "recipe" email, which really was about family history. 3)We have a very, very large list of subscribers --- 267 to be exact --- so there are sure to be differences of opinion from time to time. Please be considerate of the broad scope of interest of people on the Bertie List. Claudia Harrell Williams CC Bertie County

The study of Genealogy and Family History fall into two different categories.It would be less time consuming for lineage researchers too have two different boards. One for Genealogy,which is the study of lineage. One for Family history which is time periods and how they lived. The history is very interesting and i like to have it included but each has it's own place. This would free things up for other people to feel free to post on each board without offending someone else.

Sorry, George, but genealogy is not just names, facts and dates. It includes all of the social and cultural history of the past generations. Boy, would it not be dull to just look at pedigree charts all the time????? I want to know what they did, how they lived, what they died of and all the hardships they encountered. That is what family history is all about. Nina Cobb _Ninajcobb@aol.com_ (mailto:Ninajcobb@aol.com) In a message dated 8/18/2009 3:40:09 P.M.

The Bertie List is one of the oldest and most active lists in North Carolina. We have gone through very slow times and very active times. Whenever a topic like the present one -- "recipes" -- comes up, we do tend to get more emails. However, as has been stated earlier on the list, having general topics like this is very popular with most of the list. In fact, I think you are the only person that has spoken against this. Since Bertie County is so old, our subscribers range in their research interests from 1700's - present day. That is a long period, and naturally means that the interests of the subscribers is just about as wide. While you may consider this having nothing to do with genealogy, most of our subscribers are interested in knowing how our ancestors lived back in the old days of Bertie County. Rather than just having names and dates, these recipes, help us see them as real, living people, who lived in North Carolina, and cooked in ways that modern people may have completely lost. As far as Wills -- we'd love to have you submit some. Or visit the pages and see all those that have been submitted already. Remember also to look for "Courts" -- as that contains similar information that was not specifically a will. http://usgwarchives.net/nc/bertie.htm To submit a will, use the automated Forms: http://www.genrecords.org/ncfiles/ Be sure to let me know if you have any trouble submitting. Also I do hope you understand where we're coming from on the Recipe topic. ------------------------------- 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 ------------------------------- 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

It takes so little time to delete a message that you are not interested in... Sharing old recipes allows some people a chance to be a part of the Bertie list that might not otherwise submit anything else. Know what I learned from "tomato pudding"??? I believe that may be a German dish? I am from western KY with TN roots and I never heard of that. We had a very small, if any, German element in our community, so that in its self 'might' be a clue to your hertiage??? Remember we find our 'clues' in strange ways... I would be interested to know if any one else might share my thought about "tomato pudding" I come from 'breaded tomatoes" country!!! LOL Sherry ----- Original Message ----- From: "George L.

I respectfully submit that as a child in eastern NC, when I couldn't get along with my playmates and tried to take over the others as boss, I was taken to task by my parents and sent for a long, slender "switch" from the nearest bush. As a result, my nearly 71 years have been guided by the fact, that I had to get along with my playmates and others in general. It is the same in life. We give a little, we take a little, but the object is to make as little fuss as we can in life and make each day more pleasant. Faye

Yvonne, Was that the Jepp Thomas farm you visited? Are you related to that set of Thomas's. I am also and would like to compare notes. Jepp Thomas was my grandfather and Mike my uncle. Elizabeth Johnson Schoeb

Since an accounting seems to be taking place, I vote for keeping the recipes on this list, and a respectful use of the delete key (on every computer) used by those who do not want to read about the life and times and products of our ancestors. Faye

Actually, there haven't been that many emails regarding recipes. The emails with the subject "recipe", except for maybe 4 of them, were regarding the Nichols family. Those of us discussing the Nichols family just need to start a new email entitled "Nichols" instead of "Recipe". That would solve the whole problem. I have been a member of this mailing list for 7 years and I can think of only one other time that food was discussed. A few years ago we discussed cornbread for a couple of days. Discussing food on the Bertie Co. mailing list has not been a chronic problem. In fact, it seems to me that the subject of cracklins as pretty much fizzled out.

It would be a good idea to have a board for Family History which is the time period for our ancestors and how they lived . Then it would not cause a problem with Genealogy , which is the study of lineage.. On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 3:59 PM, Jackie Powell <jacpowell@bresnan.net>wrote: > I agree with Mr. Holder.

I agree. I believe that for the efficiency of some and the pleasure of others, we need to have two lists: one for genealogy/lineage and another for family history.

I do't mind the recipes at all. In fact, I made the tomato pudding-casserole and did not care for it but my husband loved it. One of my most prized possessions came from Bertie Co. in the area of Bakertown Rd. It is my ggggrandmothers old iron cooking pot which came to me from my grandmother and then my mother. When I met Neil Baker on the Bertie sight I went there and he showed me the homesites of all our ancestors on THe Thomas side and the graveyard on the old Thomas farm which is still in the family. And he was so full of information and stories about our kin!
