Eliza Shipman Nance, however, does not have an extant cemetery marker in the Shipman Cemetery, located in Columbus County on HWY 701. There were many broken markers reported by Dorothy B. McCall when she surveyed this cemetery 29 Jan 1985. Maybe Eliza's was one of those. Nadine

Pls. delete me from your site. I am not getting any hint that any of my ancestors were from Bladen Co. as I thought they might be. Thanks.

From The Mailing List of the Alabama Division Sons of Confederate Veterans. I wanted to pass this along to everyone on the many lists I am on. Le Gentlemen, Beauvoir still stands! Battered, damaged and in need of repair, the house is still standing. Obviously, there will be a tremendous amount of work required to restore the structure. A film crew from WLTB in Mississippi <http://www.wlbt.com/> http://www.wlbt.com captured some footage of the damage to the region.

Hi Kirby, That book that you mentioned is a description of tribes, their locations, migrations, wars, leaders, etc. and is regarding a period much earlier than you are interested in. In fact, almost every book that I own is far too early for your research. I deal mostly in the 1600s, 1700s and on a very limited basis, the mid 1800s. I'm sorry I'm no help. Yes, my husband's line from Bladen County, NC has native American influence. A father and son were Indian traders and both married Tuscarora or Lumbee women (in the 1700s).

I'm really just starting to dig on these NC roots, although I've been at this 'craze' we call genealogy for the better part of 2 decades... thanks! kirby in NC [email protected]

Hi Leta and Alice, This would be in the 1790 tax records for Hertford County which I don't have. I imagine that they are online on the Hertford County website. You could also track the land with wills, probates, etc. Unfortunately the Hertford County Courthouse burned in both 1832 and 1862 so records are scarce. I do not find a will for John Boon in Hertford in the abstract form nor a listing in the NC Testator;s Index. I;m sorry that I couldn't help.

Hi Vicki, This church was founded FOR and BY Scotch-Irish Presbyterians in 1756. It is not a large cemetery and was filled to capacity in 1888. Many, many graves are unmarked. No Native-American connections at all. From # 441 DEAN, MARTHA ANNE D. 11-29-1861 Row 18/Grave No. 11 Aged 39 yrs., 6 ms., 5 ds. Wife of Dr. Y. S. Dean Widow of William Howard HOWARD, DR. JAMES P. B. 12-5-1837/ D. 7-1-1862 Row 38/Grave No. 2 An affectionate husband and a kind master, popular as a man, and successful as a physician, his loss was widely felt and deeply lamented but he had hope in his death, and his end was peace. "The Fourth Creek Burying Ground is a sloping rectangle surrounded by a thick wall with two iron gates. Within this wall lie our Scotch-Irish ancestors who fought the Indians, gave their lives to free this country from British rule, and distinguished themselves in the Civil War. The graveyard is more like a garden than a cemetery. Rising from a broad green carpet of grass are towering hemlock, spruce, white pine, holly, and magnolia trees. Along the walls and walks are ancient boxwoods, crepe myrtle, lilac, and barberry bushes. In winter these timeless sentinels stretch their long shadows on glistening snow; in summer they create a refuge of cool dignity. Directly opposite the gates are stone benches, built into the walls; and to outline the whole is a slender rock path that winds around the shrubs and markers as though it wished to give them the deference they deserve."
