Warren, You're asking all the right questions we just haven't found the answers yet. From # 11 paraphrased Charlotte Parsons (1858), Francis Parsons (1801), Hilliard Parsons (1866), Robert H. Parsons (1845), and Vincent Parsons (1889) all have Wills on file in Anson County, NC. From # 135 paraphrased Aaron Parker, Bladen County Loose Papers, signed a petition in September of 1802 (along with dozens of other Bladen men) asking that the court "counteract a petition for working on the Waccamaw Lake." Dee P.S. my father's ancestor: "Thones Kunders, a Hollanderm who lived at Crefekd, on the Rhine, and who, becoming interested in he teachings of William Penn, came to America in 1683 as one of the thirteen heads of families who became the founders of Germantown, now a part of the city of Philadelphia. The first religious meeting of the Quakers in Germantown was held at Kunders house. He was described as a hospitable, well disposed man of an inoffensive life and good character".

Two Parker brothers (I believe they were Aaron and David Parker, but there is no written record) left North Carolina about 1813/15 for Amite County, Mississippi, with their families and the Francis Parsons family of Anson County, NC. When Francis died in NC, some of his children then migrated to MS with their own and the Parker families. David Parker prospered in Mississippi, but Aaron disappeared after the 1816 census of the MS Territory with no other records. In 1820, Elizabeth Parker was listed as head of household in the census, and there is extensive documentation on her and her family after that. However, there is no record of her maiden name in Mississippi. I am only speculating that Aaron was her husband, and that he died after the 1816 census. The children that went to MS from NC were: Joel, b. 1800; Amos, b. 1802; John Rhodes "Jack", b. 1807/8; Elihu Winston, b. 1810; Henry P., b. 1812. A daughter, Frances Catherine, was born in Amite County, MS, about 1814/15. There is a possibility that another daughter was born in NC but did not migrate to MS (this is speculation only). Elizabeth was born in NC about 1780 according to the census data from MS. My brick wall is connecting Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) to her husband, ?? Parker. I can find no marriage records from NC that connect any Elizabeth to any Parker in the right time frame to make sense. Nor have I been able to find records of who the Parkers were that migrated along with the Parsons family to MS. Elizabeth maintained connections to the Parsons family until her death, and had two Parsons women living with her during several census periods. So she may have been a Parsons herself, but no records prove this. Family lore says that the Parkers came from Hamburg, Germany, directly to NC. Some in the family claim that they were Quakers descended from Alexander Parker of Pennsylvania, who colonized that area with William Penn. In either case, the Parkers owned no slaves, either because they were opposed to slavery or because they were too poor. You have helped me in the past by locating records of Parkers witnessing wills in Bladen County, but were unable to find any connection or kinship with anyone that would establish a break in my brick wall. Perhaps I'm just not yet asking the right questions, so please be patient with an amateur. Regards, Warren Parker

"knowledgeable genealogists?" Nope, only a "lookup-type person". YES! Jr. was used as much if not more for nephews, even grandsons. The only reason that it was used at all in the 1700s was to differentiate between two people with the same name in the family. The use of Jr., Sr. and III, IV. didn't have the same direct lineage import that it has now. It was also used with women. I would most definitely think that YOUR George Mathews (Mathewes) is the nephew of the George who's Will we have and the son of Benjamin. >From # 144 Q-5, 308-312: 2 Sept 1769, Robert Randall, John Mathews Senior, and John Mathews Junior, gentleman, exrs. of the will of George Mathews, late of Charles Town, deceased, to James Skirving of Charles Town, for 5860 pounds SC money, half of lot on White Point in Charleston purchased by George Mathews of Joseph Vanderhorst, deceased, part of the real estate of said George Mathews which he directed to be sold by his will dated 22 March 1768.

Yes, I'm still plugging away at various lines. I should get back to the North Carolina ones again, they still contain lots of speculation that need verification. In your experience, how was Jr. used during the 1700's? In the will you sent me for George Mathews, it doesn't mention children of his own, but there is a George Jr. as a son of brother Benjamin if I'm reading it right. Did nephews use Junior then? I'm trying to find family for "Mathews, George and Mary Saltus married May 2, 1776. St. Phil PR, Charleston, SC" that I know positively is part of my husband's line.

Hi - On the 1919 Ft Bragg Property Owners Map for those who SOLD personal property to the U S Government in 1918, there is an AGNES ANDERS (could well be a mispelling - hand writing was hard to read) 54.1 Acres, Map Section 2, Map Number 128. Hope that helps some. dolores Bulletetal@aol.com wrote: > Dolores > > While you are in the Fort Bragg area looking into your family homeplace look > at something of interest to me if you have time. > > Angus Anders (I believe the name is correct) owned land on land that is now > on the base.
