Posted on: Chowan County NC. Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Chowan?read=749 Surname: PARISH, PARRISH, WELCH, BURRUS ------------------------- Joseph PARISH m. Fanny WELCH on 6 Dec 1820 in Chowan County. They left Chowan Co. abt 1827 and settled in Preble County, Ohio. They moved on to Carroll County, Indiana abt 1835. At each move they were accompanied by Seth BURRUS who married Sarah PARISH 9 Jun 1821 in Chowan Co. There was another Sarah PARRISH living with Seth and Sarah BURRUS who, according to the 1850 census, was born in N.C. abt 1760. I think the above was Joseph, Jr. from the following descendancy of Parishes...John (d. 1772) > Joseph > Joseph, Jr. I need all the help I can get on sorting out the puzzle of the Chowan County PARISH/PARRISH Family during this early time period. Please send me any information which could be a piece of the puzzle. I will be happy to share whatever information I now have or find in the future. I would also be interested in information on the WELCH or BURRUS connection.

Posted on: Chowan County NC. Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Chowan?read=746 Surname: clarkson ------------------------- I have recently posted to the Chowan county message board concerning my paternal grandfaher, Alexander Wilson Clarkson. In the 1880 federal census for Macon county (Decatur), Illinois, it was recorded that he was born in North Carolina and there is the name Gibaratta shown. This word had defied all of my efforts to locate it in North Carolina, South Carolina, Scotland,and Ireland. I am posting this query in case there is someone who can identify it. It is very likely something other than a community name. I have also considered whether it might be a misspelling or phonetic spelling of another more commonly known word..but still no solution..Enjoy a challenge? This is mine. Thanks.

Posted on: Chowan County NC. Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Chowan?read=745 Surname: Clarkson ------------------------- My paternal grandfather, Alexander Wilson Clarkson (A.W.), was shown as being born in N.C. in the 1880 fed census, but location unknown. The record of marriage bonds from 1741 to 1868 indicates several persons in Chowan county during that period..instances on record were 1790, 1807, 1820. My grandfather would have been born about 1850. Thus he was possibly the son of a male member of the Clarkson line in the county at that time. If anyone has information that will confirm and guide me, I would certainly appreciate hearing. Thank you.

Posted on: Chowan County NC. Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Chowan?read=744 Surname: HOBBS, CULLINS, CULLENS, CULLEN, CULLIN, HURDLE, FIELD, FIELDS, COX, HICKS, HARISON, HARRISON ------------------------- The Rachel CULLINS HOBBS you mentioned in your marriages list is my great great grandmother although William HOBBS is not my great great grandfather. After William's death, Rachel married as her 2nd husband, Aaron HOBBS, a cousin of William and a son of John and Sarah HOBBS. Do you have any more information on William and Rachel's children or Rachel and Aaron's children? I posted the following query at the Gates County North Carolina web site and would like to post it here also. =================== I'm still looking for HOBBS information. See below John and Sarah HOBBS-Child: Aaron HOBBS 1st married Emily (? What was Emily's maiden name?), 2nd married Rachel (CULLINS/CULLENS/CULLIN/CULLEN) HOBBS, widow of William HOBBS, son of Guy HOBBS and cousin of Aaron HOBBS. I have information on the ancestors of Rachel. Childred of Aaron HOBBS and William HOBBS (I haven't separated them by father as they are all brothers and sisters or step brothers and sisters to each other: Emily HOBBS married Mills or Miles R.FIELD(S)(Who were Mills or Miles parents?) Isaac HOBBS married Betsey HURDLE (Was her actual name Elizabeth? Who were her parents?) David HOBBS (Who did David marry?) Ira T. HOBBS married Catherine HICKS(Who were Catherine parents?) William HOBBS (Who did William marry?) Christiana "Kitty" HOBBS married Thomas TROTMAN(I have information on TROTMAN ancestry.) Jacob Cullins HOBBS married Sarah H. HARRISON Elizabeth "Betsey" HOBBS never married Nancey HOBBS married Jesse COX as his second wife.(I have information on the first marriage and ancestry of Jesse Cox) Rachel CULLINS HOBBS married Jonathan HARRISON/HARISON as her third husband. Who was his first wife? Who were his parents? Jonathan's children by his first marriage were Sarah (married Jacob C. HOBBS), Elizabeth (Married Solomon BUSH), Matilda (married Robert H. CROSBY.) and Richard. Who did Richard marry? (He was probably married in Georgia.) I'm still confused on the ancestors of John HOBBS, father of Aaron. Which John HOBBS was he and whom were his parents? There is a John Hobbs b. about 1696 and a John Hobbs born about 1715. I have seen both of them listed as married to Sarah and as Aaron's father. I've seen both Thomas I, Thomas II, and Amos I as these John's parents. Who were Thomas I's parents? I've seen Abraham I and Abraham II listed. Then who were Thomas II's parents and Amos I's parents? I have Betty Smith Hobbs's book on this family and Volume I and Volume II of Ralph L. Hobbs's books on the Hobbs and Related Lines. There are several different tree versions in Ralph's books and some other differences in Betty's book. Does any one have a right answer? Rachel CULLINS HOBBS HARRISON, Jonathan HARRISON, Sarah HARRISON, Jacob Cullins HOBBS, Ira T. HOBBS, Betsey HOBBS, Christianna HOBBS TROTMAN, and Nancey HOBBS COX were all in Georgia by about 1820, as well as the HARRISON children. Ira T., Jacob Cullins, and Christianna all were married in Georgia. Isaac was married in Gates Co., North Carolina. Did William Hobbs, son of Rachel and William Hobbs move to Georgia? There is a William Hobbs listed in Jones Co., Georgia in about 1820 when this combined family also moved to Jones Co., Georgia. Ira T. Hobbs probably died in Webster Co., Georgia some time after the 1870 census in which he is living with a son Jesse/Jessie and wife Catherine or Carrie J. HOBBS. Living next door is my great grandfather, Jacob Cullins HOBBS. Ira T.'s wife Catherine HICKS appears to have died between the 1850 census when they are found in Stewart Co., Georgia and the 1860 census of Webster Co., Georgia where Ira is found living next door to Jessie C. or G. HOBBS. Who were the other children of Ira T. and Catherine HOBBS? When Aaron first died, about 1808, Mills/Miles R. FIELD(s) was made a guardian of the orphaned HOBBS children. Jonathan HARRISON was also their guardian and is responsible for moving them to Georgia. Is anyone else researching these branches of these families? Any help would be appreciated.

Looking for parent of John Berry, b. 1810. He is listed in the 1850 Hyde County Census with a son named William, b 1833, and Benjamin, b. 1835. Also in the household is Mary Jackson, b 1819 and Lavinia Jackson, b. 1835. John married Mary Jackson in 1854. I know that there are 3 lines of Berry's in Hyde county. My John Berry line then there is a William Berry, b. 1788 who married Bridgett ? Finally there is a John Berry, Sr. who married Rebecca Benson. William and Bridget are related to my John Berry because of a bible reference to John's son William married Mary Jane Gibbs and her sister married Richard Berry son of William and Bridgett. I am not sure where my John Berry came from and who his parents or wife was. Can anyone help? I have other information on these lines and will be glad to share. Thank you Kathy Berry Parks

Posted on: Chowan County NC. Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Chowan?read=743 Surname: WHITE, BATEMAN, GODFREY ------------------------- I checked out Chowan 1850 census and did find a Henry White, but he was aged 29..too old. However, I see in the Perquimans 1850 census a Henry B. White, age 10 months. This is a good possibility for you, depending on the age of the Henry you seek (age 71 in the year 1921). He was listed in the houseshold of Theophilus & Nancy White (ages 23 & 22). Also listed were Benjamin Bateman (16) and Parthenia Godfrey (8). Hope this helps!
