Don't know if this picture is of interest to anyone, but I noticed a Bertie County picture for sale for an Askew from the 1870s.

I'm still looking for someone that might be researching the early Askew/Haskew family of Bertie... ca. 1700-1760 time frame. I have some notes, but would like to discuss my findings with someone else who may be able to either corroborate what I have or dismiss it. I have a John Askew/Haskew b. ca. 1740 (place unknown) who was a soldier in the Cherokee Expedition (F. & I. War) and ended up in Marlboro Co., SC with several other NC men he fought with and befriended during this time. He married Ruth Pearson, the daughter of one of the older men he met in the war from Wake Co., and they ended up in Marlboro Co., SC as well. I think this John Askew may have been from the Bertie group. I found (possible father) a John Askew b. ca. 1695 d, 1751, md. Margaret Elizabeth Boone. This John Askew appears to have been from the Nicholas Askew / Sarah Ogelthorpe line. (both born in the Isle of Wight, VA area. Nicholas Askew was b. ca. 1660-1675, died 1728. Nicholas Askew +Sarah Ogelthorpe John Askew + Margaret E. Boone John Askew/Haskew +Ruth Pearson John and Ruth Askew/Haskew had two sons.. The oldest, John , served in the Rev. War, and the history books say he almost didn't get his pension because of the spelling of his last name. An 'H' was either added or left off. Not sure. I would be glad to share my research into the possibility of the above lineage being correct. Joanne Harley New Bern, NC [email protected]
