I hope great:) I need a lookup for the will of James James. It is in the NC WILLS AN ABSTRACT OF nc WILLS 1760-1800 DUPLIN COUNTY PAGE 101. It mentions Thomas E., Gabriel H., Thackey, Mary, Dwinny, Nancy T., Rebecca, Catharine; Shepperd; Thomas I was wondering if the Nancy T could have been the one who married Enoch BLANTON. She is mentioned as Enoch's wife in the will of Abraham BLANTON, which I have, however there were 2 Enoch's; one who was the son of Joshua Sr and one who was the son of Abraham. Thanks for all your help. Jeanie BLANTON TRIMBLE
