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.

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.

With the utmost respect, may I disagree with you and some others about the sharing of recipes on this list. I think this is a list for genealogical research and I do not understand the reasoning that this includes recipes. I also think it does not include the details of the houses and barns built by our ancestors, the manufacturing processes in which they may have been involved, the details of the crops they planted, how they cared for their animals, made their tools and a number of other related subjects. If recipes are considered proper for this list then these and any other subjects affecting our ancestors should also be allowed in the same detail as tomato pudding. Then the genealogical details, the reason for which this list exists, will be so buried that many of us will not have time to search for them. I personally favor saving and sharing old and new recipes but I suggest that this is a subject better handled on a list set up for that purpose.

This cemetery has already been added to our site today. Plan to add the pictures soon. Would someone be interested in looking up these families on our Census records, and see if they could put something together about the family. Suzan and other volunteers did all the Census records that are available -- 1930 and by using the "search page" this might not be too difficult. http://www.usgwarchives.net/search/search.cgi/searchnc.htm You can limit the search to just Census.... and a specific name.

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.

Hi Carol, Thank you for your response. I am related to the Nichols line in Ahoskie, NC.

While down in OBX this week, I found three family cemeteries in the Old Nags Head Woods Conservancy. There were wooden stakes there also. I was really excited to find the grave of Marcus Ryan Johnson Jr. Lots of Tillets, Manns, Johnsons, few Russells....I guess I should have written down all the info. Just took some pics.

Have found quiet a few cemeteries like that in Bertie...most of them the families are long gone and the graveyards have been deserted.

I figure we can look at one of the newer death certificates to see if there is a cemetery name there if so we may find other death certificates of others that may be there.
