Posted on: Chowan County NC. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Chowan/10948 Surname: Lewis, Luten, Smith, Matthews ------------------------- In Chowan County, one of my two LEWIS family lines is carrying the name, "Luten Lewis" and apparently was early intermarried with the Thomas Luten (Sr. or Jr.) line there in Chowan County. I'm laid-up with a disk problem at the moment and cannot drag out all my Lewis & Luten records for you, but I have most of my Lewis line of Chowan figured out except the very earliest segment. Jumping into the line at the level of "Luten Lewis" - Luten was father of ELVEY LEWIS who left Chowan Co. & removed to Barbour Co., AL in the early 1830's, where his daughter Emeline married Needham Lee, Jr., Nov. 1835. Emeline had a sister (Elizabeth?) who married a King who was also out of the Chowan Co., NC Kings who'd apparently co-migrated into Barbour Co., AL. I'd be very interested to hear what you've found out about your own Luten connection! THANK YOU! KAY GUNN KLWRAGEG@aol.com

Posted on: Chowan County NC. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Chowan/10942 Surname: Betterley, Alden ------------------------- Thomas Betterley of Edenton, Chowan Co, NC died in June of 1729 and shows up several times in the old land and legal records. I have received a copy of his will. His wife was Elizabeth Alden, gr-granddaughter of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. She and son Thomas went back to Boston after his death. I assume he was buried in St. Paul's churchyard, as burials had been made there for at least 10 years prior to the church being built in 1736. I assume there are no records concerning his burial, but I just have to ask. Please contact me if you know anything else about Thomas Betterley or his burial.

Thomas BETTERLEY clearly spent most of his time in NC between 1715 and his death in 1729, but he evidently moved back and forth to some extent between there and Boston, where he was married in 1720. Does anybody know about how long the voyage between the two places would have taken? Thanks! Esther in California emott6@home.com
