Hi Y'all, Since I am down to four e-mail lookups and seven Georgia Archives lookups I'm rewarding myself. I have three very interesting books that aren't on the bibliography list. They are the "Index of North Carolina Ancestors (volumes I and II)" and a strange one that may be fabulous, "Migrations Actual and Implied Volume One". The ancestors books might give you a name, date of birth, place of birth, county of birth, date of death, place of death, county of death, county where they lived, date of marriage, place of marriage, county of marriage, name of spouse, and the code number of the ancestor file in the North Carolina State Archives. A large number of the entries don't have any counties listed. EXAMPLES Charles Baldwin was born in 1787 in Bladen County, NC. He died in 1848 in Columbus County, NC. He married c1810 Amelia Kelly in Bladen County, NC. Ancestor File # 60403. Josiah Lewis was born in 1728 in Craven County, NC. He died c1808 in Bladen County, NC. He married Ann Mullington in 1750 in New Hanover County, NC. They lived in New Hanover County, NC. Ancestor File # 12090. The migration book shows a probable intention of moving into, out of and within the state of North Carolina. EXAMPLES Guilford County, N.C. Deed Book 1 (1771-1784) p. 222 - 15 November 1773 John Underhill and wife, Hannah, to Benjamin Coffin of Nantuckett County, Massachusetts (taylor), now residing in Guilford County - 140 acres on Polecat Creek. p. 227 - 7 December 1773 William Triplett and wife, Eleanor, to Samuel Cobaen of York County, Pennsylvania - 100 acres in Guilford County. p. 245 - 24 September 1772 John Cheedle of Goochland County, Virginia to John Stewart of Guilford - 440 acres in Guilford County on Wolf Branch of Deep River. p. 405 - 26 July 1777 John Buster to Hugh Challes of Pittsylvania County, Virginia - 420 acres on Wolf Island Creek .

Hi Dee, I've followed your remarkable assistance to so many people for many months on the web. So, I'll try a long shot. I have attempted for three years or more to identify the parents of my gggrandfather, Samuel Jenkins Taylor, who was born in Robeson County, NC, in 1823. The only clue I have is that his parents were S & A Taylor of Robeson Sounty. Thanks for you willingness to help.

Although there are Johnstons/Johnsons mentioned there are no Joabs, and none listed as the early settlers. No Joabs listed in three NC Taxpayers books. No Joabs in any of the very early Land Patient books. >From # 11 There are 2 Joab Johnsons listed, both too late to be the father of Joel.

We know that there was a Joab Johnson in Sampson that died with no wife and children listed. The Joel Johnson that is in Bladen (1755-1832) certainly looks good for belonging to this family. There is a Will for Nathan Johnson of Sampson County (1851), (son of the above William?, brother of Joel and Joab?) who lists his sons Bizzell, Nathan , Robert and Allen, and son-in-law William Fryer.

My only source for early Johnston settlers is a Johnson Family History, which was compiled and published many years ago, but without any documentation. That publication shows my ancestor to be Thomas Johnston, of Ulster, Ireland, who emigrated to the Albemarle district of NC in 1680. His son was Jonathan. The only mention of Jonathan's son Joab was said to be in the will of Jonathan's brother, William, who left land along the Neuse River to Joab and his brothers, Ashby, Soloman and Jacob. Joab was said to be the father of Joel Johnston, Sr. My research indicates to me there may have been another family with similar names that settled in Johnston County, and that may have confused earlier researchers. Although I cannot document this history, I will not discard it without evidence of other ancestry. Thanks you for your efforts. You certainly got me excited when you said that you have "a ton of stuff" for me.

Do you know if there is any record of the family names of those Scotch-Irish settlers who came to Duplin-Sampson County with Henry McCulloch from Ulster in 1736? They established themselves along the tributaries of the Cape Fear River, at Sarecta, Kenansville, Goshen Swamp and the Black River. Perhaps Grove Church, which they founded, has a record. The family names I am researching are Pollock, Johnston, Ward and Edens, and I have wondered if some of them came to America with that group, since Pollock and Johnston are Scottish names. The Pollocks and Wards were certainly present at Goshen in he 18th century. My Johnston ancestor was Joel Johnston, Sr, born about 1755 along the Black River in southern Sampson. He lived most of his life in northern Bladen County, near Johnsontown. The family cemetery is just east of there, in Bladen State Forest. I wish I knew his parents names; family oral history indicates his father was Joab Johnston from the Albemarle District, but we have too little evidence of Joab to confirm that theory.

Trish, I just saw the message where you had asked Dee about George Shelton. I also noticed that you are in OK. I have a George Shelton ancestor, who started out in Buncombe County, NC (this is circa 1800). My Shelton line eventually moved on to Fentress County, TN, then on to Oklahoma, by 1880-1900.

Is there anyone on the list who is connected to this family? If so I would very much like to share. I believe G.W. Jackson in the below notes to be my 3rd great grandfather. I would very much like to be able to prove this line. Thanks in advance for any help. Sharon Dover Romanek Source: 1860 Bladen County, North Carolina Census Some of this does not match to be the proper family for Sarah Jackson, who is said to be the child of G.W. Jackson and Anna Sophia Davis. Some of the children in this household are the same as the 1870, so I belive it to be the same family, but possibly a different wife. Possibly G.W. married three times. Also, Randol in this census I believe should be Randolph in the 1870 and there is an error in the age if that is so. NEEDS FURTHER RESEARCH!! See below 1870 census as well. House: # 524 George W. Jackson 28 M Turpentine NC Anna J. Jackson 24 F Domestic NC Alex'r Jackson 3 M NC Mahala Jackson 2 F NC Randol Jackson 9 M NC ==================== Source: 1870 Bladen County, North Carolina Census Although there is NO PROOF I suspect that this is the family of Sarah Jeanette Jackson. It does not however list the mother I have listed for her in my files, and who is listed in Bladen County Cemetery records as her mother. I suspect that if it is the correct family that G.W. was married more than one time.This household is not listed as being anywhere near any of the Ray family she married into. The Ray family is listed in house 57. I believe that would be quiet a distance apart but do not know for sure. House #25 Jackson, G.W. W M 39 NC Mary E W F 39 NC Alex W M 13 NC Randolph W M 10 NC Andrew W M 9 NC Sarah J. W F 7 NC Ellen E. W F 5 NC Mahala W F 1 NC Barker Charley W M 20 NC Thomas J. W M 15 NC G--- J W M 11 NC Will B. W M 11 NC ==================== Source: 1900 Bladen County Census, White Oak Township Just as the above this MAY not be the correct Jackson family, but it list the same children as in previous records and I believe it is the correct family. The dates and names match those of his daughter Sarah's records who married Clemant Ray. She was not present in the 1860 since she would not have been born yet. She is however present in the 1870 and would marry Clemant about 1883. Based on this information I am adding the siblings shown in the census with this family. I believe Anna in the 1860 census listed as wife is Anna Sophia Davis and Mary E. in the 1870 may have been a second wife, although there is no proof of that fact.

Nadine, Thank you for the information you sent re. Gooden. I am sorry I have waited so long to respond. You response came in on my laptop and I left it at my home last week when I left to go where I live and work during the week. This was a nice surprise when I returned this weekend. Thank you so very much. Lum Gooden is too young as he was would be 11 years old when Laura Etta was born. I did find her mother was Mary Russ that married Christopher Gooden. That gave me the clue that will help.
