Maybe we are connect by way of my grandmother Lelia Elizabeth Fikes. Born in Al. Her mother was Isabelle Victoria Mason with a lot of siblings. My grand was born about 1883 and her children started in 1901. So yours and mine could be cousins. I'll look into it. Bettylee.

Moores Creek is located in Pender County, NC. Now it is a National Battleground. It is the site of an early battle during the Revolution. I believe the reenactment being held on February 21 & 22 will be for 239 years. --- Original Message --- From: nccumber-request@rootsweb.com Sent: February 15, 2015 3:16 AM To: nccumber@rootsweb.com Subject: NCCUMBER Digest, Vol 10, Issue 3 Today's Topics: 1.

Also on the first page of each district is the legal description of the district as given in the County Commissioners Minutes, 1868-1870, pages 101 through 106. In 1868 the original districts, later known as townships by act of General Assembly, were: Alfordsville District, Back Swamp District, Britts District, Burnt Swamp District, Howellsville District, Lumber Bridge District, Lumberton District, McEachins District, Smith District, St. Pauls District, Sterlings Mills District, Thompsons District, White House District and Wisharts (also called Burnt Islands) District. I have endeavored to make this publication as accurate as I could. I have; however, made a few changes in the format to make it easier to read and research. I have arranged the information in the form of a table with five columns of information. The first column contains the names of the landowners. written phonetically by the original transcriber to the old court minute book; The second column is the number of acres owned by the person; third column, the value of said acreage; fourth column, the location of the land; and finally the fifth and last column is the page number which the entry can be found in the original text. In the case of Lumberton Township there are also two additional columns designated for Town Lots and their values. It includes both a Full Name and Places Indexes. This is the first official listing of all White, Black and Indian Landowners in Robeson Co NC after the end of the War Between the States, which includes approximately 2000 entries under the heading of the following surnames: Absher, Adams, Albin, Alford, Allen, Amons, Ashly, Arnett, Atkinson, Ausly, Ayres, Baggett, Baker, Banes, Barfield, Barker, Barlow, Barnes, Bartlet, Barton, Bass, Baxly, Baxter, Beard, Belch, Bell, Benbow, Bethea, Bethune, Biggs, Black, Blackman, Blake, Bledsoe, Blount, Bluew, Boddeford, Bodiford, Bond, Boon, Bowen, Braboy, Bracy, Branch, Braswell, Brewer, Brewer, Bridgers, Brigman, Brisson, Britt, Brooks, Brown, Brumble, Bryant, Buie, Bullard, Bullock, Burchett, Burns, Butler, Byrd, Caldwell, Campbell, Carlile, Carrol, Carter, Chavis, Chisholm, Clark, Clemmons, Clewis, Cobb, Coble, Collins, Conner, Conoly, Council, Cox, Crawford, Cribbs, Criden, Crump, Culbreath, Currie, Curry, Dallas, Daniel, Davis, Deal, Dewey, Dial, Dick, Douglass, Duncan, Eaden, Easterling, Edmund, Edward, Ellis, Evans, Fairly, Falk, Faulk, Flowers, Floyd, Foly, Ford, Freeman, French, Fuller, Fulmore, Furguson, Gaddy, Galbreath, Gardner, Gilbert, Gilchrist, Glover, Godwin, Goins, Graham, Grantham, Gregory, Griffin, Grimsly, Gunn, Hagin, Hall, Haman, Hamans, Hamer, Hammond, Hardin, Harding, Harrel, Harrelson, Harrington, Haynes, Hayns, Hays, Hedgpeath, Hendren, Herring, Hester, Higley, Hill, Hilliard, Hodge, Hodges, Hodgin, Holcom, Hooper, Horn, Howard, Howell, Huggins, Humphry, Hunt, Hussy, Hustling, Inman, Isreal, Ivey, Jackson, Jacobs, Jenkins, Johnson, Jones, Kelly, King, Kinlaw, Kitchen, Klarpp, Knox, Lamb, Lammond, Lancaster, Lawson, Leach, Lecine, Lee, Leggett, Leitch, Leith, Lennon, Lewis, Lieupo, Lilly, Linch, Lindsey, Little, Livingston, Lockleer, Locklier, Loe, Love, Lovett, Lowery, Lowrie, Lowry, McAlister, McAlpin, McArthur, McBryde, McCall, McCallum, McChargue, McClellan, McCormack, McCormick, McCrimmon, McDearmid, McDonal, McDonald, McDuffie, McDugald, McEachern, McEachin, McElyea, McFadyen, McFarland, McGeachy, McGill, McGirt, McGugan, McHargue, McInnis, McIntyre, McKaskel, McKay, McKeller, McKenzie, McKinnon, McLauren, McLauchlin, McLean, McLellan, McLeod, McMillan, McNair, McNatt, McNeill, McPhail, McPhatter, McPhaul, McPherson, McQueen, McRae, McRainy, McRimmon, McVicker, Mainor, Malloy, Manning, Martin, Matthew, Mears, Mercer, Miller, Mills, Millsaps, Mitchel, Monroe, Moore, Morgan, Morisey, Morris, Morrison, Munroe, Murphy, Murry, Musslewhite, MWhite, Nance, Nash, Nelson, Nichols, Nicholson, Nixon, Norment, Nye, Odum, Oldham, Oliver, Oxendine, Page, Parker, Parmelee, Parnell, Patterson, Paul, Penfield, Perry, Peterson, Perry, Peterson, Petteway, Phillips, Pierce, Pitman, Pope, Porter, Powell, Powers, Prevatt, Price, Proctor, Purcell, Purnell, Purvis, Rackly, Ransom, Ratley, Ratly, Ray, Reaves, Regan, Revels, Rhodes, Rice, Riddle, Roan, Roberts, Robertson, Robeson, Rogers, Ross, Rowland, Rozier, Russ, Russel, Sampson, Sanderson, Santee, Saunders, Saunderson, Scott, Scovall, Sealy, Sellers, Shaw, Shepherd, Sheridan, Simmons, Sinclair Singletary, Small, Smith, Snipes, Speight, Southerland, Spivey, Stanly, Stephens, Sterling, Stewart, Stone, Streeter, Stickland, Surles, Sutton, Tally, Tatum, Taylor, Thaggard, Thomas, Thompson, Todd, Toler, Townsend, Trawick, Troy, Turner, Tyner, Walker, Wallace, Walters, Ward, Warwick, Watson, Watts, West, Wentz, White, Whitfield, Whitted, Wiggins, Wilcox, Wilder, Wilkerson, Wilkeson, Wilkins, Wilkinson, Wilks, Williams, Willis, Wilson, Wishart, Wood, Woodell, and Wright. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *HOW TO OBTAIN COPIES OF THIS PUBLICATION* For information on how to order your copy send an e-mail to Sam West at: sam.west.1@gmail.com – and in the subject line put “LANDOWNERS 1868” In return, I will send out an email giving detailed instructions on how you may order the book.
