Hi Y'all, Since I am down to four e-mail lookups and seven Georgia Archives lookups I'm rewarding myself. I have three very interesting books that aren't on the bibliography list. They are the "Index of North Carolina Ancestors (volumes I and II)" and a strange one that may be fabulous, "Migrations Actual and Implied Volume One". The ancestors books might give you a name, date of birth, place of birth, county of birth, date of death, place of death, county of death, county where they lived, date of marriage, place of marriage, county of marriage, name of spouse, and the code number of the ancestor file in the North Carolina State Archives. A large number of the entries don't have any counties listed. EXAMPLES Charles Baldwin was born in 1787 in Bladen County, NC. He died in 1848 in Columbus County, NC. He married c1810 Amelia Kelly in Bladen County, NC. Ancestor File # 60403. Josiah Lewis was born in 1728 in Craven County, NC. He died c1808 in Bladen County, NC. He married Ann Mullington in 1750 in New Hanover County, NC. They lived in New Hanover County, NC. Ancestor File # 12090. The migration book shows a probable intention of moving into, out of and within the state of North Carolina. EXAMPLES Guilford County, N.C. Deed Book 1 (1771-1784) p. 222 - 15 November 1773 John Underhill and wife, Hannah, to Benjamin Coffin of Nantuckett County, Massachusetts (taylor), now residing in Guilford County - 140 acres on Polecat Creek. p. 227 - 7 December 1773 William Triplett and wife, Eleanor, to Samuel Cobaen of York County, Pennsylvania - 100 acres in Guilford County. p. 245 - 24 September 1772 John Cheedle of Goochland County, Virginia to John Stewart of Guilford - 440 acres in Guilford County on Wolf Branch of Deep River. p. 405 - 26 July 1777 John Buster to Hugh Challes of Pittsylvania County, Virginia - 420 acres on Wolf Island Creek .

Hi Dee, Hopefully this is my last request :-) Whole different family...aren't you all glad??? John Fiveash (Revolutionary Soldier) was born 1760 in NC, a son of John Fiveash (born about 1719) and Mourning Barnes (born after 1716 in Va) The family moved from Albemarle Parrish, NC to Bladen Co. during the 1760's. Research shows that John Fiveash (born 1760) left NC and moved to Tattnall Co., Georgia prior to 1814; he died in Tattnall Co., Ga in 1831. We believe his parents, John and Mourning Barnes Fiveash, stayed in NC after John moved on into Georgia. There are several land deeds involving the elder John Fiveash (after son John moved to Georgia); these deeds appear in Bladen, Perquimans and Robeson counties. There is some debate about the wife of John Fiveash (born 1760). There is some evidence that her first name was Jean; surname unknown. Mourning Barnes is a daughter of Edward Barnes and Sarah Pope of Nansemond Co., Va. We believe John Fiveash (born abt 1719) is a son of ? Fiveash and Phyllis Fort of Isle of Wight, Va. Any information on these families would be most appreciated :-) Thank you! Nancy Evans Parr
