Seeking to connect with anyone researching Carter or Wilkerson lines from Caswell County, NC. Although Enoch Jeremiah Carter married Susannah Wilkerson in Greene County, TN, in 1794, I believe both of them may have been raised in Caswell County. Susannah was the daughter of Samuel Wilkerson (b. abt. 1700) and Dorcas Elemon of Frederick County, Maryland. Samuel became a Quaker in order to marry Dorcas Elemon in abt. 1735. Four of his sons -- Thomas, Francis, William, and John -- fought in the American Revolutionary War. Samuel Wilkerson's daughters were Ann, Catherine, Fanny, Elizabeth, and Susannah. Samuel Wilkerson was granted 150 acres of land on both side of Negres or Negro Creek in Caswell County, North Carolina, on Mar. 23, 1779. He also owned land on the Clinch River in Russell County, Virginia. Samuel Wilkerson's will was probated Oct. 28, 1781, in Caswell County, North Carolina. I know much less about Enoch Carter -- only that his birth date is probably 1766 or 1767. Yours truly, David Orr http://home.earthlink.net/~davidorr/family/

I am researching the family of my G-G-G-G-Grandfather Samuel Woods of Caswell Co., NC. He lived in Hightowers twp. (SE corner of Co.) on the South Hico River. His will was written in June 1792 and filed for probate in September Court 1793. (Page 80, Will Book 3, Person Co. NC) Listed in will are wife Mary, Sons Andrew, William, John, Samuel, Thomas, and James. (My G-G-G-Grandfather) Listed in the probate are also daughters Margaret (Peggy) wife of William Richmond, and Mary (Polly) wife of Joseph D. Hughes (of Orange Co.) James Woods was married to Elenor Brown and had Williamson B. Woods, Robert W. Woods (my G-G-Grandfather), Romulas Yancy Woods, Sarah Anne (married to Wm. Fitzgerald) and Mary Jane Levina (married to Franklin Morgan). Robert W. and Romulas Y. Woods moved to Greene (now Hale) Co. Alabama around 1850. James sold his property in Hightowers twp. mid 1850's and made his will in Greene Co. in March 1856 right before he died. Would like to hear from anyone connected with this family or with information on family members or roots. Shelley Gregory [email protected]

Probate from Clay Co, Archives. as a part of the inventory of the estate: Slaves, belonging to estate of deceased as follows PETER aged 47; STEPHEN aged 26; HARRIET aged 23; JOHN aged 6 years; MARY aged 3 years; JEREMIAH aged 31 years; MAHALA aged 37; PATIENCE aged 51 years; MARILDA aged 2 years; ELSIE aged 10 months In the appraisement of the estate: PETER is about 47 years of age $500; JEREMIAH is about 31 years of age $850; STEPHEN is about 26 years of age $900; MAHALA is about 31 years of age $500; HARRIET is about 23 years of age ($600)?; PATIENCE is about 51 years of age $ 0; JOHN is about 6 years of age $450; MARILDA is about 2 years of age $200; MARY is about 3 years of age $200; ELSEY is about 10 months of age $100. Note: I would expect that some of these people are the children and grandchildren of PATIENCE who is found in the estate of William W. SMITH in 1863. included in the probate file: the matter of the estate was taken to the County Court of Clay County, Feb term 1852. The names of ages of the slaves and the names of the heirs of the estate are in the record again. As there was ample assets in the hands of the administrators, and the quantity and value of said decribed slaves....that a equal partition cannot be made, ...according to their respective rights.....(there were children and grandchildren with rights to the estate); the court ordered..."the Sheriff of Clay County, offer for Sale to the highest bidder at the courthouse door in the city of Liberty, on Monday the 1st day of March 1852, upon a credit to twelve months the said above described ten negro slaves for life and that the purchaser or purchases therein be required to give note or bond with approved personal security, and that he make report of his proceeding to this court...." NOTE: I would except to find some of these people with the sons-in-law of William SMITH. also in the estate records: a long list of notes: One note on hand on NANCY McCULLOCH for $55.80 due 16 June 1852 also: A LIST, of the Debt due NANCY McCULLOCH promissory note, due 16 June 1852 NO INTEREST DUE $55.80.....this is the ONLY note that no interest was charged, he had many people who owed him money. Nancy is William SMITHs sister in law. She married a Joseph McCULLOCH....possible lst cousin, a son of one of her mothers brothers ? Her grandfather was a Joseph McCULLOCH. The Sale Bill of William SMITH (d 1851) is 17 pages long. As I know there are other people from Caswell and Orange County area I am going to include some names of people at the sale: also many people where from the Fayette Co, Ky area.

This land corresponds in description to that which is described in his will. This location is not in Person County, North Carolina. Person County was formed from Caswell County in 1791, nine years after the death of William Neely. Caswell County was formed from Orange County in 1777.

Samuel WALKER died in 1797 leaving a will which named his wife, Elenor, son James, daughters, Elizabeth COBB, Jean KING, Agnes ORR and Elinor Walker. Also named grandsons Samuel and James to which he left his land on Moons Creek. The grandsons sold their land to their uncle Orr once they were adults. We know that James left with his wife Elizabeth ELLIOTT and went to Robertson Co., TN. Elizabeth COBB married Noah and lived in Rockingam Co, NC where a family record was found. Jean's husband, Robert "Robin" was an executor for Samuel's will. They and the ORRs appear to have stayed close to Moon's Creek. Samuel bought some of his land from a John WALKER, thought to be of the Wigton, Scotland Walkers. We haven't been able to connect the two families after years of trying. One possibility is that Samuel came from Cumberland Co., PA. He probably settled in Caswell Co. while it was still Orange Co. We know that he is not the same Samuel that lived on Sandy Creek. Other Walkers lived in the area and we have much information concerning those families as well. We'd love to welcome any Walker researcher to our small group. We have piles of documentation that we'd be happy to share as well. Mary Ann

Hello Charla, Yes we will talk after Christmas. I have the estate file of William Walker. He died intestate. The only children named were Elizabeth who md my William Smith, a George Walker md ?, and a Joseph McCulloch parents unknown who married Nancy Walker. It looks like Daniel Walker would be the wrong generation, unless its a second marriage, but it is likely there is a connection...William Walker had a number of brothers. Also since William Walker died intestate, I think all his living children would be named . Am very interested in what you have about Edmiston....I have nothing.

Hi, Anyone on the list searching Cardwell's or have any info on them. Also anyone who does lookups in Caswell? Denise Wood

Mandy, You need to be on the Guilford list as well. Our family ties into Summers from the early 1700's and there is a guy, Larry Noah, who has a site with all kinds of Summers stuff. I will try to find it for you. Also the "Brick" list, Larry is list owner for that. It stands for the Brick church in Guilford were there were many Summers. Many of them are buried in Frieden's Cemetary (Frieden's Church) in Guilford. Do you know where that is?

It's great that there's a Caswell county discussion group getting started. I belong to a group of researchers that have been digging around this county for years. We're mainly interested in the WALKER, ELLIOTT, COBB, ORR, KING families and any others that lived near to them on Moon's Creek. Some of their land also backed up to Hogan's Creek. My Walker line left around 1800 for Robertson Co., TN. I'm looking for any MOORE connections in Caswell Co. around that time. So, if you're interested in any of those families contact me and maybe we can share some info. Mary Ann
