Enough orders for reprinting WILLIAM CAPPS OF JAMESTOWN AND HIS JOHNSTON COUNTY DESCENDANTS, by FRANCES HOWELL have been established!  If anyone else needs a copy please contact my email ( for forwading to Authors' EMail) by Monday- so we can hurry up and get these printed and in our hands!! I am excited about discovering the contents- hope you are too!  I have found the more I research the CAPPS History- the more possibilities open up! What an elusive line... Hopefully, this book will contain some proven answers and new theories for us all! It is my understanding that this book describes the Early CAPPS descendancy of WiILLIAM CAPPS of Jamestown, and their migration to Currituck NC (& surrounding areas), (Some to Warren County) and then concentrates on the migration to Johnston (& Wayne Counties). $45 per book Have a nice day! Nancy J. Capps Cumberland County, NC

Did you call compuserve about the problem? Maybe they can get it back for you. I wouldn't use their service if they did that. Can't do genealogy when a server is gonna delete your information.

Hello Everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know that has been in contact with me on the Raynor, Hill, Strickland, Thornton, Hudson, Lee, Blackman, just to name a few. It will take me some time to get my computer set up again, I am with CompuServe and they update their site Monday and by doing this they deleted my all my e-mails, my favorites which I had a lot of downloads still there which I had not copied, all my address of everyone that I had been in contact. So please if anyone that has been in touch with me on any of these families, please just send me a note so I can get your address again. I've tried everyway that I know to get my address and downloads back but I guess they are gone. Has anyone else had this problem before and if so were you able to get anything back. Thanks, Donna in Smithfield

SOLDIER BOY Soldier Boy - You fought on a foreign soil; strange, with intense heat, snakes and insects. You were a young man. A warrior, strong, bold and unafraid, first time away from home and family. Ready to fight for FREEDOM and a country that stood proud, to the point of bursting. Old Glory flew high with pride. Mom, Sis, Wife, Daughter, rolled bandages and worked in the factories. They served coffee and donuts in the USO. Rosie the Riveter, pulled down her visor, and gave one more squeeze for the war effort. YOU, Soldier Boy, unloaded the Lend-Lease Supplies. YOU, Soldier Boy, assembled and drove those supplies to Ivan. And YOU, Soldier Boy, sewed the jackets and the shoes for your comrades in arms. And, we won't forget you, Soldier Boy, who strung the wire, fed the troops and administered to the wounded of body and soul. Everyone was charged with a duty. With strength of single minded conviction, you worked, sweated and toiled to protect AMERICA'S FREEDOM! Fifty some years now, few remember the Soldier Boy of the Persian Gulf Command; "The Forgotten Bastards of Iran", (The FBI). A few have only recently just found you, and not likely to forget you, Soldier Boy! Annual gatherings, reliving of experiences and memories. Remembering friends who have gone ahead, again, to prepare a better place for us all. Soldier Boy, you have laughed, loved, played and worked hard. YOU, Soldier Boy, have served your country well. And, now that I have found you - I won't forget you, Soldier Boy. You were a son, a brother, a husband and my father! Dolores W Samons Harvell 12 August 1996 Dedicated to the memory of my father. Joseph Albert Samons 17 February 1909 - 21 December 1972 Persian Gulf Command 660th Port Battalion October 1944 - November 1945 -- dolores SAMONS harvell Genealogy - disturbing the dead, and irritating the living

Looking for the marriages of all Medlins, whether it be female or male in Cumberland, Randolph and/or Moore Counties during the years of 1840-1861. If anyone can direct me to an online site I sure would appreciate it as I only get online when I go to the library. Thank you very much, Sue Knudsen in Seattle looking for Surname Medlin and Frye, Rose

Does anyone have additional information on Alexander MacIver, Captain, 3rd company, Cumberland County, with the date August 2, 1781. (do not know what date signifies) This information comes from Governor McLean's Unpublished Manuscript, Highland Scots in North Carolina, written in 1919 and published by the North Carolina Scottish Heritage Society in 1993. I would like to know his wife's name and names of his children, and hopefully when he married? Thank you in advance, RN ancestorhunt@sbcglobal.net

1. Does anyone have a book of early marriages in the Cumberland county? Captain MacIver fought for the Americans. He married right after the Revolution to (we think) Fanny MacDonald in No. Carolina. The grandson who left a letter to the family used the word "maybe" for her first name. Some members of the family think Cumberland Co. others think Chatham. The letter goes on to say he was from a well known clan in Scotland, and only came to the US shortly before the war. 2. Is there any place that might have births c1777-1795 in the county? They had at least 6 sons and some daughters. Ours was William Donald McIver, so the "MacDonald" could be his mother's surname. We think he was the youngest. He mentions that his brothers were in the War of 1812, but he was too young. So he fought with Andrew Jackson's Sharpshooters. I have been stumbling around McIvers/MacIvers/McKeevers for over 35 years, before computers. I'm giving it another go around. All help will be appreciated. R RN ancestorhunt@sbcglobal.net

I am looking for McIvers era of before Revolution, during and after. Our Captain MacIver fought for America, and married right after the war. That's all I have, and one child named William Donald MacIver aka McIver born c1795 NC. County unknown. Anyone have anything on this family, would like to exchange. William had 5 or 6 brothers.

Nancy Civil War Service Records Surname Given Name Middle Initial Company Unit Rank - Induction Rank - Discharge Notes Allegiance Monzingo Joshua L. L 12 Louisiana Infantry. Private Private   Confederate Civil War Service Records Description: The Civil War Compiled Military Service Records are part of a historic effort to compile and link all available records of soldiers serving in individual states during the Civil War. This database is a listing of over 5.3 million men who served in the war. Taken from records housed in the National Archives, each record provides the soldier's name, company, and unit. Also provided is the individual's rank when inducted and rank when discharged. For researchers of ancestors who may have served in the American Civil War this can be an informative database. Extended Description: Union records were taken from National Archives Record Group 94. Confederate records were taken from National Archives Record Group 109 microfilm series M253.Compiled Military Service Records (CMSR) Each volunteer soldier has one Compiled Military Service Record (CMSR) for each regiment in which he served. The CMSR contains basic information about the soldier's military career, and it is the first source the researcher should consult. The CMSR is an envelope (a jacket) containing one or more cards. These cards typically indicate that the soldier was present or absent during a certain period of time. Other cards may indicate the date of enlistment and discharge, amount of bounty paid him, and other information such as wounds received during battle or hospitalization for injury or illness. The soldier's place of birth may be indicated; if foreign born, only the country of birth is stated. The CMSR may contain an internal jacket for so-called "personal papers" of various kinds. These may include a copy of the soldier's enlistment paper, papers relating to his capture and release as a prisoner of war, or a statement that he had no personal property with him when he died. Note, however, that the CMSR rarely indicates battles in which a soldier fought; that information must be derived from other sources.A CMSR is as complete as the surviving records of an individual soldier or his unit. The War Department compiled the CMSRs from the original muster rolls and other records some years after the war to permit more rapid and efficient checking of military and medical records in connection with claims for pensions and other veterans' benefits. The abstracts were so carefully prepared that it is rarely necessary to consult the original muster rolls and other records from which they were made. When the War Department created CMSRs at the turn of the century, information from company muster rolls, regimental returns, descriptive books, hospital rolls, and other records was copied verbatim onto cards. A separate card was prepared each time an individual name appeared on a document. These cards were all numbered on the back, and these numbers were entered onto the outside jacket containing the cards. The numbers on the jacket correspond with the numbers on the cards within the jacket. These numbers were used by the War Department only for control purposes while the CMSRs were being created; the numbers do not refer to other records regarding a veteran nor are they useful for reference purposes today.
