-----Original Message----- From: Ronald Weiss [mailto:rbweiss@widomaker.com] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 1:01 AM To: Gail Loafman Subject: RE: James Lea-William Burch Dear Gail, I have looked through the Caswell County books I have for your family Loafman and Perkins. I found little in Caswell or Person Counties North Carolina on LOAFMAN. Hope the Perkins information will be of help. Regards, Ronald Weiss, in Virginia, Descendant of Caswell Co. families William Walton STEPHENS (1851-1915) and Cora Gaston PLEASANT (1863-1938) > "Caswell County North Carolina Deed Books 1777-1817" , Katharine Kerr > Kendall, 1989, publisher Southern Historical Press. The Introduction tells that "the Deed Books are at the Register of Deeds of Caswell County, Yanceyville, North Carolina 27379." Index:> IndexIn No entries for LOAFMAN. PERKINS has entries on 79 pages, (Sarah , p. 300, and Nancy p. 365).

Ronnie Weiss -----Original Message----- From: Gail Loafman [mailto:gloafman@texhoma.net] Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 3:56 PM To: Ronald Weiss Subject: Re: James Lea-William Burch Ronald, I wonder if you would look in the book "Caswell County North Carolina Deed Books 1777-1817" , Katharine Kerr Kendall, for the two surnames that have "pitched me such a fit!"..... I have the LOAFMAN FAMILY, who married the PERKINS girls around 1810-1815. Edward L. married Sally Perkins Bond dtd 24 July 1810, and Benjamin L. married Nancy, Bond dated 7 Sept 1813. I found where Benjamin became insolvent, and lost goods at a Sheriff's sale, then bought more property before selling out and going to Ky, but I can find nothing on Edward and Sally in the places I have looked up to now. Wondered if you'd check for Perkins listed in deeds, and for Loafmans, if there are deeds. I would be eternally grateful. Gail Loafman researching the broad base of the Loafmans since 1975
