Roger, I can't find any family that Charles fits into. There was one strange thing. In the 1902 Bladen County Permanent Tax Registration there is a C. H. Monroe listed, age - 27 and no Musselwhites.

The dates I would be interested in would be July, 1874 or 1875 as a birthdate. He C. H. "Musselwhite", shows up on the l880 census as an adopted son of G. W. Monroe. I suspect the parents of C.H. Musselwhite may have died during one of the diptheria epidemics, but I can find nothing. Thank you for the help.

I have never heard or read anything about a Bladen orphanage. The Musselwhites were equally visible in Robeson County. You didn't give me any dates so I can't check other sources for you.

Do you show a C. H. Musselwhite? Charles Musselwhite? Roger L. Davis ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
