Eastern Daylight Time, williamsonavalon@bellsouth.net writes: I have recently begun researching my family tree and discovered a group of people who lived in Bertie County, NC left and moved to Haywood County, TN in the 1830s in several wagon trains. For the most part, they all stayed and raised their families and their families stayed and so on until my parents, who grew up in the same county in the 1950s. Makes it pretty interesting because I can track down the remains of their old houses, burial grounds, obits and lots of information about them. The names I have discovered so far, and the dates when they left Bertie are: John Dawson Castellaw - 1834 John Hardy Cobb - 6 March 1834 John Bembery ³Bem² 1831 - 1833 Penelope White 1831 ­ 1833 Bembery¹s brother Charlton White William Watridge ­ 1836 - 1838 Millie Thompson Watridge ­ 1836 ­ 1838 Dempsey Nowell (Hertford Co., NC) Elizabeth Rawls Solomon Williams Edward Brantley Thomas ³T.A² Lovelace Unity Shirley If anyone has any information about these people when they were in Bertie, I would greatly appreciate it. If you want to know anything about of these people once they arrived in Haywood Co, TN, let me know.
