NC? His household is listed as having: 1M<10; 1M 16-45; 2F<10; 2F 16-26. I'm assuming that with two females in the 16-26 age bracket, that they have a young woman living with them, unless one of them began having children on or before the age of 10. Strawbridge is supposed to have a son named Joshua, but he would only be 24 in 1820, and it appears he is still living in his father's household. There is a Joshua YOUNG Sr & JR on the 1790 Census, but this Joshua is too young to be him, and I believe the other Joshua listed in 1820 is the 1790 Joshua Jr. This Joshua comes on the scene in Burke Co. in 1820, but is absent in 1830. Anyone having any thoughts or leads? greg Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi all, my name is greg and I have only recently begun searching for my ancestors and I was wondering if you can help me. Can anyone identify the parentage of Joshua Young Jr. who shows up on the 1820 US Census, Burke Co. NC? His household is listed as having: 1M<10; 1M 16-45; 2F<10; 2F 16-26. I'm assuming that with two females in the 16-26 age bracket, that they have a young woman living with them, unless one of them began having children on or before the age of 10. Strawbridge is supposed to have a son named Joshua, but he would only be 24 in 1820, and it appears he is still living in his father's household. There is a Joshua YOUNG Sr & JR on the 1790 Census and other records, but this Joshua is too young to be him, and I believe the other Joshua listed in 1820 is the 1790 Joshua Jr. This Joshua comes on the scene in Burke Co. in 1820, but is absent in 1830.

World War II soldier: Sergeant Bradford Stuart Conley. Sgt. Conley died 11 September 1944 in Baelen (Belgium) and is buried at the American Cemetery at Henri-Chapelle. Mr.Vandeberg Vincent of Belgium states his information is that a burial flag was sent to the soldier's mother, Katie K. Conley of Rt 3, Box 149, Morganton, Burke County, North Carolina. Mr. Vincent: "I adopted also his grave at the American cemetery from Henri-Chapelle. The only information that I have are the name from his mother and address where the burial flag where send [was sent]." Photographs of Henri-Chapelle are here: http://www.inproudremembrance.com/Henri-Chapelle%20Photos.html Many of the photographs provided courtesy of Mr. Vincent. Photograph of the plaque at entrance to Henri-Chapelle: http://www.inproudremembrance.com/AboutWebsite.html This is an impressive and moving site, but I did not locate the story by Mr. Vincent about Bradford Stuart Conley [Mr. Vincent stated: I posted also the storie from Bradford Stuart Conley on Kevin Klumps (USA) website; <http://www.inproudremembrance.com/>http://www.inproudremembrance.com/] Mr. Vincent wants someone in Burke County or with Burke County connections to answer the following questions: I am looking to find a picture from his family, school, house and also a little information. Are there a WWII monument with his name at Burke !!!!!!!! Are there a article in the newspaper from the town when he died September 11 ,1944 !!!!! None of the following answers Mr. Vincent's requests, but does confirm what he has already learned about the soldier. Ancestry.com databases show the following (none of which I have confirmed as accurate): North Carolina Birth Index 1800-2000: Bradford Conley born 14 November 1922. Male. White. Born Burke County.

Derick, This is a wonderful thing that this gentleman is doing! Thank you for telling us about it. I have no knowledge of Sgt. Conley, but am touched by the email sent to you from Belgium. Arlene Hampton

Dear Burke friends, I recently received a query from a gentleman living in Belgium. He exhibits a patriotic side that most Americans would be proud of. He lives close to an American cemetery close to where the Battle of the Bulge was fought and has adopted the grave of an American soldier. He desires to send a burial flag to the soldier's next of kin. The soldier is Bradford Stuart Conley but I have no information on him or his surviving family members. The writer gives his mother's name as Katie K. Conley of Rt 3 Box 149, Morganton. If anyone can help this gentleman and remember this fallen hero, I feel sure something good will be accomplished. Please forward what information you may have to me and I will be happy to pass it on to Mr. Vincent and post it on the Burke County NCGenWeb Military page. I am copying the Morganton News-Herald for this letter, hoping they may find the story news worthy and possibly help in the search to locate the family of this patriot who died 64 years ago while defending our freedoms.

William K. Houck, who had held a ten day revival in a brush arbor. The chapel was built in 1888 and named in his honor. He served this church from his home in Morganton for more than half a century. He preached his last sermon in April 1947 at the age of 92. The church is still used today. Houck's Chapel was placed in the Hickory Multiple Resource Nominations to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The cemetery surrounding the church is called Houck's Chapel Cemetery. The remainder of the cemetery is called Fairview Cemetery. It is now part of the Hickory City Cemeteries. ["Catawba County Cemeteries," Vol. 4, page 15.

Subject: Fairview Cemetery? Is there a Fairview Cemetery in Burke County? There is a Cemetery by that name in Catawba County, but the names I am looking for do not appear on the Fairview Cemetery Index of names. Since Burke County's Cemetery Site is under construction I ask this question. Thank You, Ray

Does anyone know anything about my great aunt Pauline GRIFFIN (BUCHANAN) and her husband Geter BUCHANAN?

I believe Pauline was b around 1912 in the Hughes community of Mitchell (now Avery) County in Western NC. I have been told that she died in childbirth in 1938.

Suttle Castle Rock, CO Tgsuttle@msn.com<about:blank>

Kathy, those are really good suggestions. I would also add that it is often helpful to us if you include the spouse's name.

If you have additional info, I would like to exchange info. Male WILSON m Florance Victoria RHYNE. She descends from Robert "Bob" Uranus RHYNE and Frankie ALDRIDGE. Male WILSON m Patricia JOHNSON. She descends from Kermit Oni JOHNSON and Ruth ALDRIDGE (both born 1914). Florence WILSON b abt. 18 Dec 1894 NC d 06 Jan 1965. She married Clifton DANIELS b abt. 1881 NC d 09 Mar 1939. Charlie WILSON m my grandmother, Florence "Flossie" Hildred GRIFFIN, b 25 Jul 1903 Mitchell Co., NC and d 06 Mar 1987 in Banner Elk, Avery Co., NC.

I've worked hard over the years on the descendants of Thomas Hutchins (1753-1843) who came from Wake Co. and settled in Rutherford Co. NC. The descendants of course spread through several places, but those who recognize the name should be pleased. I hope that this really helps us all work together on these families. Rutherford, Wake, Yancey, Mitchell and Cleveland are some of the most populated counties with descendants in them as well as Washington Co. TN and Clay Co. KY, but again, they've spread far and wide.
