Hi Donna, I printed your msg, good as I promptly deleted the original. Anyway, the 1880 US Census shows Claudius WESTBROOK being born in 1856, living at home with father Uriah WESTBROOK - Head of Household- white, age 65 Birthplace NC Occ. Farmer. Wife is Sallie WESTBROOK age 59 - keeping house Children: Claudius son - single 24 years old - Laborer Mary A. daughter - single 19 years old Margaret daughter - single 15 years old The above Census was taken at Meadow, Johnston, NC *********************************************** The 1920 Census from Sampson CO NC shows: Mary F. WESTBROOK female head of household age 49 James - son age 21 Lettie M. - daughter age 18 Hubert - son age 15 Julius T. - son age 12 Hattie B. - daughter age 8 Claudius died in 1919 so I think this is his family. *************************************** I didn't find anything on Nancy WESTBROOK so that lead me to think she must be a cousin. You would think she would be listed in the SSDI but I didn't see it. Nancy

Can anyone help with these two family. Claudius S. westbrook born June 3 1854 died Oct. 14, 1919 married Mary Francis Ryals born May 31 1868 and died July 31 1932. Milliard F. Williams born Dec. 17 1877 died Dec. 17 1921 and married Nancy Westbrook born Dec. 22 1879 and died July 29 1961. Can anyone tell me who there parents were, any of them. Thanks, Donna

I am interested in contacting those who would like to vigorously hunt this man down. Does anyone live in the Fayetteville area willing to do some looking around. I believe in "you help me, I'll help you." I live in metro Atlanta and would be willing to help with getting stuff from the National Archives here if you would help me! They house the census, which can be obtained more readily thru other sources, as well as military records. For a complete listing, visit their website. Thx Leah

Where would I be able to get a copy of a divorce record that was done 11 / 03 / 1989 in Cumberland country, N.C. I think they were living in it was in Fayetteville , N. C. but I'm not sure. So would I go to the country seat or to the town, which I'm not sure they were living in at the time, to find the records ? Would it be the clerk and recorder office or where would I go to get the records and about how much do the copies run ? Also about how long does it take to get copies to MT. ? Thanks for any help Betty
