I still have the same old problem. Lovely lovely Elisha McGEE (whom I'm beginning to believe never saw Bladen County NC) Adding a couple of new given names to the search for Elisha, how about Sherod and Shadrack (spellings vary of course). Is there any possibility that you saw these names when you found the Jesse you mentioned? I seem to be stuck thinking there is a link to the two other given names, Sherod and Shadrack; how, I'm now sure. The given name Sherod shows up in Marion County GA in about 1842 when I found the following on Ancestry: >14 April 1842 >Marion Co. > Elisha McGee.applies for **admr' of the estate of Sherod McGee..** > Burton W.Dowd..ordinary This is the county where Elisha and Seleta Mauk marries and lives before taking off for AR. So if there is a connection to NC and Bladen County, one would assume that Sherod would show up there too -- but I can't find him any where else but on the 1830 GA census, which is so helpful <groan>, but shows this from left to right: 2 2 - - - - 1 - - - - - - - 1 - - 1 - - - - - - -etc. On Shadrack, that's a cousin's line but could very likely end up mine too -- the way my family does, marries within the known.

Joyce, None of the people that you listed are shown in those three books although your presentation of your family was perfect! I attempted to find all of them but especially McKinney and Waller because they are obviously easy names to spot in an index but I can't find a single thing on any of them. Those two aren't in any Taxpayers books, Testator's Index, or any Will books. McKinney isn't in anything having to do with Bladen that I have found and without having a "sure" name such as McKinney in conjunction with any of the other Sims there is no way to tell if a Benjamin, James, Jacob or William is yours. Perhaps if you give me some dates on any of them (except Waller in SC) and tell me what leads you have to Bladen, Robeson and Columbus I can take this further.

I'm not very familiar with the North and South Carolina research but I have to get myself prepared as that is now where the tracing of my ancestors have led me. Forgive me if I don't ask these questions the way I should. I am interested in the Sims/Simms/sim's ancestors and migrations book, as well as the Index of North Carolina Ancestors, Same name, Vol. 11, and Migrations actual and implied. I am looking for anything on William Sims who married Mary Gray; and then the Sims names below are all sons of the above. These Sims' have been known to be in Bladen, Robeson and Columbus counties. William Sims who married Mary Soles/Souls James Sims who married Avis Williams, daughter of Moses Benjamin Sims who married Susannah Williams, daughter of Moses William Sims, Jr. who married Mary Ann Fowler McKinney Sims who I believe married Mary Duncan Jacob who married ? I'd also be most grateful if you have anything on Waller Sims who married Mary Bradley. Waller came from Virginia about 1793 and married Mary Bradley, b. Bet. 1800 - 1801 in South Carolina in the Abbeville District. I believe this family MAY be related to the above but I haven't found any evidence of that to date. Thank you for all your help Dee and if you have any suggestions on research there, I would be most appreciative. I'm fairly new at this.

Patsy, Welcome to the group. I've always understood the term to be "woods-colt", having its origins when the sire of a colt was unknown due to having been conceived in the woods or any other out-of-sight location. I remember the old folks using the term when I was small & wondering what it meant.....not until much later did I find out.

Hi Dee, Hopefully the request line has dwindeld somewhat from the time that you made your wonderful offer and so I’ll now toss my information your way. I’m not very familiar with the North and South Carolina research but I have to get myself prepared as that is now where the tracing of my ancestors have led me. Forgive me if I don’t ask these questions the way I should. I am interested in the Sims/Simms/sim’s ancestors and migrations book, as well as the Index of North Carolina Ancestors, Same name, Vol. 11, and Migrations actual and implied. I am looking for anything on William Sims who married Mary Gray; and then the Sims names below are all sons of the above. These Sims’ have been known to be in Bladen, Robeson and Columbus counties. William Sims who married Mary Soles/Souls James Sims who married Avis Williams, daughter of Moses Benjamin Sims who married Susannah Williams, daughter of Moses William Sims, Jr. who married Mary Ann Fowler McKinney Sims who I believe married Mary Duncan Jacob who married ? I’d also be most grateful if you have anything on Waller Sims who married Mary Bradley. Waller came from Virginia about 1793 and married Mary Bradley, b. Bet. 1800 - 1801 in South Carolina in the Abbeville District. I believe this family MAY be related to the above but I haven’t found any evidence of that to date. Thank you for all your help Dee and if you have any suggestions on research there, I would be most appreciative. I’m fairly new at this.

My husbands ggguncle as described above was Captain Thomas Mercer Riley 1840-1935 son of Col Thomas Mercer Riley and Elizabeth T. Autry(of the Autryville NC(Sampson county) Autrys. His common law wife was Sallie McCreary. Uncle Tom's grandchildren called him Cappie. There is one unproven story that says that one time Uncle Tom considered marrying some fine upstanding white woman but Sallie flung such a fit he decided he better not. I say Good for Sallie. I've met two of Uncle Toms direct descendants and I was so very impressed with everything about these people. They can laugh and guesstimate with us about how Uncle Tom and Sallie did so well in that time period.This guy is brother to Bill's gggrandmother and we got none of the money. Uncle Tom would educate any female related to him but not the boys they could do it on their own. Bill's line to him was male to male to male to female. In a booklet done by one of his direct descendants for a family reunion they had they said this about Uncle Tom. We were not invited. In the end the travesty of Thomas Mercer Riley could be drawn depicting a very diverse person reflecting the enviroment in which he lived. How can one draw a caricature of an individual who was a slave owner, a warrior, a hero, a slave lover, a finance wizard, a family man and a philanthropist? Kay
