Based on this, it is very interesting that this particular John Cain had a son named Arrington Cain. I have not been able to identify the maiden name of the wife of John Cain. Her name was possibly Nancy. Is she the sister or daughter of Benjamin Arrenton??

Obviously "So NC set aside a portion of the state's eastern section (which shortly became Tennessee) " should have read WESTERN section and "A Rev.

Hi Gordon, Five hours later I know an awful lot about this family but I know absolutely nothing about the marriage or Nancy's last name. I have 67 books on marriages in South Carolina (with various approaches: parishes, implied, Scots, Native Americans, Catholic, English, Irish, German, Quaker, Baptist, registers of ministers, newspapers, etc.) and there is nothing there of any spelling. I have encountered many variations of the spelling of Stokeley/Stokely/Stockley/Stockeley and every time I found a different spelling I went back over the books again to be certain that I hadn't missed anything. I have very few Tennessee resources but I did find The Stokeley Family of Cocke County in Tennessee Cousins. In this entry, as I'm sure you know, "Jehu, an English sailor who at a very early day (1747) came to the port of Charleston." I have just as many sources that say he was BORN then. I have checked all emigration/immigration/ship records to ascertain if any other family members came with him, since a Stokely family is also found in PA and VA. I found Jehu's military bounty land grant of 228 acres (July 15, 1785) but could find nothing on where it was or any record of warrants or surveys. Keep in mind that at the end of the Revolutionary War, North Carolina still had not made good the pay accounts (paper vouchers) of the Continental Army. So NC set aside a portion of the state's eastern section (which shortly became Tennessee) and issued land warrants there to satisfy the debt of military service. A Rev. Soldier could sell his warrant, pay a debt with it or travel east and locate vacant that he liked in the specified area, present his warrant (or someone's) to a surveyor. The acres would be surveyed, and the Military Land Grant would be issued and filed. I really labored over the idea that an English (or Wales) sailor landing in Charleston would travel to Warren County, NC, serve in the Continental Line, and almost immediately move to Cocke County, Tennessee. That seemed like "the long way around the barn". The only thing that I'm sure of is that his land grant for military service would have been in eastern Tennessee (about halfway into the state as we now know it) if he exercised the warrant. In other words - I can't help you at all! Dee All lookup requests will be permanently archived on the Bladen County Genweb site.

Yes, he is in the Colonial Records of Georgia (I have the set and they take up a lot of room) and although the entries do refer to YOUR Joseph Butler, nothing at all is mentioned about ANY military service. This isn't surprising considering his age. I would suspect that the Joseph Butler accepted by the Dames is not yours. Where did you find the Dames information?

Hi Anita, Because of the number of pages (9) listed for Powell in the index I thought that there was more in the Anson County book than there actually was. >From Book # 193 Paraphrased: NOTE: Arthur Dobbs was the Governor of North Carolina 24 May 1759: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Michael Fifer 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Adam Alexander 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Rees Shelby 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to James McLane 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Philip Wiser 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to David Spike 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Martin Benniger 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to William White 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Joseph Rogers 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Paul Barringer 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Henry Furr 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to John Adam Blackwelder 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Arthur Mackay 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Eleanor McDowell 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Matthias Weaver 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to John Corzine 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Nicholas Corzine 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Michael Cline 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to WM Lipper 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Moses White 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Samuel Harris 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Daniel Alexander 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Moses Shelby 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Nicholas Walter 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Valentine Weaver 24 June 1762: WILLIAM POWELL listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Samuel Harris 24 June 1762: WM POWELL is listed as a witness to a deed from Arthur Dobbs to Andrew Rhynhart Page 277: ARTHUR DOBBS appoints WLLIAM POWELL of New Hanover Co., Gentleman, as attorney to collect in Anson County. . .and to sell land in Anson Co. . . 12 Oct 1762. . .ARTHUR DOBBS (SEAL), Wit: JOHN ANCRIM, ARTHUR MACKAY Page 1: 9 Apr 1762, NICHOLAS SMITH of Cumberland Co., to BENJAMIN THOMPSON of Anson, for 24 lbs. proc.

Lookup Hello Dee -- I read that you might be willing to do a lookup in books listed on the Bladen genweb site. If so, I would very much appreciate your looking for "Powell" or "Powel" in the book listed below. I have a record of a William Powell in Anson Co. as early as 1756, also Charles, John, Benjamin, and Richard in the early 1770s. I am especially interested in data on William Powell. I'm also interested in any info on Nathan/Nathaniel and especially Thomas Powell -- both of whom I have so far only found in Montgomery Co. after it was formed (Nathan by 1782 and Thomas by 1788). If you should turn up anything in the book, I would be happy to pay for copies of pertinent info you might find, as well as for your time. I look forward to hearing from you. Anita Powell Stevenson 193. ANSON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, DEED ABSTRACTS, 1749-1766, ABSTRACTS OF WILLS & ESTATES, 1749-1795

I am not aware of any Perry family members relocating from North Carolina, but it would not surprise me, as members of other lines in my family moved from North Carolina to Georgia, Alabama, Louisana, and other states.

No, Mary appears to be the dead person we should research and Kathy is the living seeker of genealogy information. This Mary will not respond. The rest of the information is surely needed to assist any research on her family group.

Hi Mary, Perhaps a state, or county or even a date range? I don't know if you have the correct death date on her or not - you didn't include it.
