Dee, Would you check and see if you can find anything on this for me? Cullen Carter at one time was from Bladen Co., NC I would be so appreciative if you would try to find something. This has been my brick wall. Cader Carter of Greene co., GA is the father of Richard Wilkins Carter of AL my so many great grandfather. I think that Cullin Carter might be his father and Isaac Carter was some kin and hopefully a grandfather or uncle. The follow information was found in Greene Co., Georgia Land Records Deeds 1785-1810 Abstracted by Freda R. Turner located in DeKalb County Public Library in their Special Collections Room: Deed Book CC page 486: Cullin Carter of Greene County State of Georgia - Cato Carter of Greene County appointed as his lawful attorney, William Easen of Greene County on 31 August 1810 to act for him in the State of North Carolina to collect whatever is due him from the estate of Isaac Carter, deceased, which fell into the hands of Cullin Carter in his lifetime, Wit: William Johnson, J.P., and E. E. Park. Recorded 10 September 1810. Thank you so much for taking the time to even read this. If this is not something that you can do I will understand.

Hi Ted, Note: # 3 (of the "Betty" lookup below has a wrong date of newspaper publication: it should be October 20th, 1846. 1. When I do a lookup for someone I include everything that I can get my hands on. So the reference to (additional information) did not come from me - it is in Bess's book and refers to the availability of additional information on that entry at the courthouse. She means that it was too lengthy or irrelevant for her to include. The full text will be found in the North Carolina State Archives. I copied everything on Constant Johnson that was in both of her books. 2. There is no will for him in NC Testator's. 3. Not a clue. 4. He is not shown in the three Cumberland Cemetery books that I have. 5. I can find nothing on Elijah or Willie F. Moore - not even their Wills. 6. No, there's no additional mention of him, probably because of the dates. Ted, I am so sorry that you had to wait so long for so little.

Johnson, daugher of the late Constant Johnson (Aug 6, 1850) Here are my questions about Constant Johnson: 1. What additional information is available about his death ( item 3 above) ? 2. Did he leave a will? I have been unable to find a reference to his will or his estate. I have a copy of the estate papers of his wife, Maria Miller Johnson. 3. What was the cause of his death? 4. Where is he buried? 5. Also, if you can find out more about Willie F. Moore, I would appreciate. I think he was in some type of retail business. One of the daughers of Constant, Susan, married Elijay Moore, who had a wholesale grocery business in Fayetteville. Constant and John Hall had a large grocery supply business and Elijay may have been made a partner, or maybe he was a competitor. 6. Willie Moore died early and there may be information in the Tyner book about him. Thanks. I hope this isn't too much to ask of you.

Constant Johnson was the father of my great great gandmother, Sarah Jane Johnson Moore Cannon. I recently visited her grave for the first time at Oakdale Cemetery in Wilmington. I am interested in the two books you mentioned by Bess Tyner and the additional information she may have had on Constant. I have some conflicting information about him, e.g., that he was a Silversmith in Fayetteville for several years. He later was 50% owner of the steamboat "Henrietta" that operated between Wilmington and Fayetteville and brought many of the Scottish immigrants to the Valley of the Scots. He and Mr. Hall also owned a Cotton Mill in Fayetteville. I was surprised to see "Esq" after his name. He married Maria Miller on Aug 12, 1819. On the 1850 census, she shows her birthplace as "Conn". One would think they were married in Conn or she came down to Fayetteville to marry him. He was a partner from 1815 to 1817 with Jehiel Johnson and John H. Hall in Middletown, CT as Johnson Hall & Co. My records show that he was working after 1818 as a pewtersmith in Fayetteville. He must have had some success in his ventures. If you have additional information from the Bess books, I would like to have. Thanks. Ted M. Kennedy, Jr Atlanta, Ga tmkjr@bellsouth.net

Hi Jerome, I received two copies of this long thread, but I could not find anything written by you - except the heading of what would have been your letter to the list. I always want input from you, and I still remember how indebted I am too you and that I owe you something in written form. I just can't seem to stop digging long enough to make jam out of the fruit of our labor so far on these CARROLLS from Sampson County. Would you post your letter again to the list? Of if it was information specifically for me, would you send to me at luraj@triad.rr.com ?

No, Lura, I did not write to you directly. Some other person must have written you. I don't know anything about Abraham Herring and his family, but I believe Abraham Herring was a white man based on these items. He had a will and a son that was orphaned and the court assigned someone to care for his son and watch over his estate. I am not related to the Carroll family.

Wayne, Forgive my tardiness in thanking you for this additional information regarding Dempsey Carrol/ell/oll of Sampson County. I will continue my search for Levina JONES, who I thought might have married into the Joneses of Bladen County. I wondered.... Are you related to these Carrolls? Also... this is a long shot.... My anti-SPAM folder threw out a letter from someone with a long string of numbers in front of a name I didn't recognize. That letter was never read. I just noticed about mid-way below that your address has a long string of numbers like that. Did you by chance write to me off list, and if you did, will you please write again?

Wayne A ------------Prior Message--------------------------------- I think Dempsey, Sr. is the father of Alexander based on owning adjoining property. Alexander purchased land from Dempsey, Sr. and later sold part of it to Dempsey Carrell, Jr. and Stephen - listed as land granted to Dempsey, Sr. Also, Demcy Carrel signed the marriage bond for Alexander's marriage to Lucy Ryal/Royal in Duplin County in 1783. I think Dempsey, Sr. died around 1802 based on the fact that he was excused from paying poll tax in 1789 because of his age. There were a Demcy Carrol and a Demey Carrol in the 1790 census. One was likely Dempsey, Sr. and one Dempsey, Jr. I do not find a person I believe to be Dempsey, Sr. after 1802, but the court records do not always distinguish between Jr. and Sr. I would like to learn... - Is there an estate settlement record I have not yet found for Dempsey, Sr. around 1802? - Is this bond related to an estate settlement? - Is Levina Jones the daughter of Dempsey, Sr. and the sister of Alexander, Stephen, & Dempsey, Jr? - Who did Levina Jones marry? Thanks to anyone who can help, Lura CARROLL Southard

Hi Allen! My cousin is descended from Robert Harvey (b. abt 1774 NC) and his first wife, Jennet White, thru' their son, John Travers Harvey (one of 8 children) and Rebecca Tinnin, thru' their son James Marcellus? Harvey and Catherine M. ___ thru' their son, James Nichols Harvey and Mary N. (Brown?). I believe the parents of Robert were Alexander Harvey and Ann White. Robert was also Sheriff of Bladen Co., NC we are told. He had another marriage to Sarah Lock but no children that we have found. This line migrated on to Lauderdale Co., MS where descendants remain today. Robert may have gone to Jackson, MS first. Do you all know why a child was named with the Newell name? There seems to be a connection with that family and they were neighbors in Lauderdale Co., MS later. Another name that seems connected is Tinnin, another neighbor. I cannot connect with the Ann Harrison you wrote about. Thank you for writing! Jeanette pjkh@comcast.net

We have an Ann Harrison (1733 - 1818) married to a Richard Salter (11 Jan 1733 - 1795). Children James Salter (dates unknown) and Mary Harrison Salter married Joseph Richard Kemp (my wife's connection). We also have Robert Harvey married to Anna Jane Poynter Streety - wife's 4th great grandmother. Anna Jane Poynter was first married to William T Streety who was high Sheriff of Bladen County 1810-120, had 7 children, 6 lived. When he died Anna Jane Married Robert. 3 children - 1 lived Harriet Newell Harvey who married Thomas Melvin Smith.
