I believe that it burned in the late 40s or early 50s, according to family members. Can anyone help with the date and/or year that it burned? I am trying to find any school records. I have a photo of my grandfather and his class taken about the early 30s. I was told that it was probably the first and second grade together in the photo. Would love to find record of a class list to help name some of the other children. Does anyone know if there is a student record or list for this school? I would enjoy any information that you could share about this school. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi George, We were on a real roll there for about an hour and then the bottom almost fell out. >From Book # 513 SMITH, SAMUEL m. Mary Parker Samuel Smith, who was called "Stucky", was the youngest son of Stephen Smith from Bladen County, North Carolina. His mother was Joanna Council (daughter of James Council and Jonna Willis). He was in the battles at King's Mountain, Cowpens, and Guilford Courthouse. Later, he became a major in the militia and was a soldier in the War of 1812. McCall, II, 113. >From Book # 663 STEPHEN SMITH, a REV. SOLDIER of Bladen Co., N.C.; mar.

This couple had four known children: James, Samuel Stucky, Sophia and Stephen. Samuel Stucky of Bladen County maried Mary Elizabeth Parker. They had ten children, including Samuel Whiteford (White) Smith who married Sarah Jane Baldwin. Other children in this family were: Joanna, Aaron, Fannie, Elizabeth, David James, William Gaines, Sarah, Mary Ann and Henry Jackson. Samuel Stuckey later married Anne Clark and they had four children: John, Christina, Catherine and Stephen Daniel. There is more to this entry but nothing pertaining to Samuel Stucky Smith.

Hi Anne, What you found in the archives was a lookup that I did for someone. I have no ties to either of these families but the proof of Mary's marriage (only one) lies in the dates. >From Book #150 JAMES FAISON III FAMILY 616 (in part) ". . . and James Faison IV (1753-1812) who married Mary Hollingsworth (1753-1822)....James Faison was a soldier of the American Revolution. He married Mary Hollingsworth, a daughter of Henry and Mary Murray Hollingsworth. They settled near Turkey on a plantation which was later called "Mount Pleasant". Entry submitted by Claude H. Moore HOLLINGSWORTH FAMILY 682 (paraphrased) Henry's (Mary Murray's husband) BROTHERS, Zebulon, Valentine and Timothy Hollingsworth "moved from Duplin County to St. George's Parish (Screven County), Georgia in 1770. In 1769, Valentine Hollingsworth sold his plantation in what is now Piney Grove Township, Sampson County, to James Wright. All three brothers married and had families. Clyde D. Hollingsworth of Sylvania, Georgia, published a book in 1952 entitled "The Hollingsworth Family of Screven County, Georgia." Henry and Mary's SON, Zebulon Hollingsworth, lived, married (Elizabeth Chesnutt), had children (Stephen, b. 1794, m. Elizabeth Colwell; Henry, b. 1798. m. Mary Carroll; Jacob m. Catherine Treadwell; Edith m. Joseph Carroll & MOVED TO THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA; Jane m. Richard Colwell; Mary m. Thomas Vann; Annie; Elizabeth m. John Kelly & MOVED TO FLORIDA), died and is buried on his plantation.. Entry submitted by Claude H. Moore I hope this helps you.

Sorry. I thought you had the info in your files since they seemed so complete. Mary Hollingsworth, 1799(or 1791) - 1877 married Thomas Vann (1775 - 1844). Mary was the daugter of Zebulon Hollingsworth m. to Elizabeth Chesnutt and lived in Sampson county or Duplin county. Her father was born in Duplin. One record I have has a first husband of James Faison and 2nd of Vann. In your record, her sister, Mary, married J. Faison so I think she only had one marriage. I have since found that her older sister, Edith, married Joseph Carroll and lived in Thomasville, GA. I've got family there trying to see if they came with them to Thomasville. One relative told me she thinks Thomas died and Mary with children moved to Ga. Thank you for whatever you can do.

Sounds like you've done some phenominal research and I appreciate you sharing. My question had to do with Mary Hollingsworth's marriage to Thomas Vann. She was Zebulon's daughter and Mary H. Faison's niece. My info had her first husband as J. Faison but the dates didn't jive. My family, Vann, descends from Thomas and Mary's son Edward King Vann. do you have any info on where TV came from or how I go about finding it. I see that a lot of Va records have burned. I live in Roswell, Ga now but me and my family come from Thomasville, Thomas County, GA , for almost two centuries, so Mary's sister married to Carroll and living in Thomasville makes sense.

BLADEN COUNTY GLEANINGS FROM SAM WEST LUMBERTON, ROBESON CO NC The following is one of many small news columns found in the early Robesonians from Bladen County. This column below was from Bladenboro, but there were other monthly columns from Dublin and other areas of Bladen County. I have seen quite a few news related items, marriages and death notices from Bladen County in these early Robesonians. Enjoy! Sam West Lumberton, Robeson Co NC "ROBESONIAN NEWSPAPER, FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22, 1901 In and Around Bladenboro. Correspondance of the Robesonian. BLADENBORO, N. C., Feb. 20. - Mrs. John Shaw and her son, Charles, of Clarkton, spent last Saturday and Sunday with Mrs. Monroe Singletary, Mrs. Shaw's sister. Mrs. Gerry, of Abbotsburg, visited the family of Mr. Monroe Singletary for a few days last week. Last Thursday evening was pleasantly spent by several young people of our community. The occasion was a valentine party given at Mr. Charles Deever's residence. We note with much regret that the family of Mrs. Tait intends moving to Red Springs soon. We shall certainly miss them, and we extend to them our best wishes. Mrs. J. D. Norment, of Lum- berton, is visit her mother, Mrs. Tait, this this week. Several of our students antici- pate attending the closing exer- cises of Mrss Daisy Callihan's school next Friday evening. She is one of out former students, and it is with pleasure, that we hear of her splendid success in teaching in Robeson this winter. Miss Lizzie Bridger is quite sick with measles; but we hope to have her back with us before long. Through the kindness of Prof. Shepherd there are two fine new oak tables, a large wall map of North and South Carolina and several splendid mottoes added to the furnishings of our academy. Many thanks. Despite a great deal of sickness among the students, the average attendance in school is far better now than ever before. New stu- deents are coming in from every direction, and our people have decided to educate their children, notwithstanding the fact that one district school has been closed for this spring. There are 91 enrolled, 24 of whom are boarding students. We hope they will continue to come until the 100 mark is reached, and even then we want them still to come."

Ron, First, I meant to type 1802 for the birth date of Samuel (not 1807). Next, there are TWO people with family lineages on OneGreatFamily.com. I gave you the information from one of them. That person obviously had ties (lines) to Quirta and Samuel because there was a ton of information on those two siblings. The other contributor obviously has ties (lines) to another child that's new to us: John Redden Kirby. This second contributor has a wealth of information on John Redden Kirby and next to none on any other sibling - EXCEPT THEIR NAMES. The 2nd contributor shows the children of Samuel Kirby and Frances Harriet Cook to be: (don't even consider accepting these dates). 1. Jerusha Kirby, b. 1830 2. John Redden Kirby, b. 1832 3. Samuel Kirby, b. 1834 4. Margaret Kirby, b. 1836 5. Susannah Kirby, b. 1838 6. Mary E. Kirby, b. 1840 7. James N. Kirby, 1842 8. Frances H. Kirby, b. 1844 9.
