Hi Kim, We're sorta straddling the county line on this one. The Boneys were in Duplin and the Cromarties were in Bladen. I've checked everything and the single entry that I can find is in the 1870 census. >From # 108 [In Brown Marsh] 86 Cromartie Chs., B, M, 60, NC, Laborer Rachuel, B, F, 40, NC, HK Jane, B, F, 17, NC, Assist Elizabeth, B, F, 15, NC, Assist Owen, B, M, 11, NC, Laborer Lucy, B, F, 13, NC, Laborer Edmund, B, M, 9, NC Eliza, B, F, 5, NC James, B, M, 8/12, NC living with them was Wm. Goodman, B, M, 23, NC, Cooper Note that the age of Owen is out of order. I'm sorry that I didn't find more for you.

I am looking for my 'colored' great-great grandparents Owen Cromartie and Armellia Boney(?). Could you also check Number 50 to see in they are listed in the slave index - if this book in similiar to Duplin - under Boney and Cromartie. It's hard to say how old they were (for time frame) because in 1870 census they are listed as 40 and 42 respectively. However, in 1880 they are 27 and 23! Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
