I am trying to find info on the people! What I have fond so far is: 1) There were 3 William Etheridges in the 1810 Currituck Co. census (which one might be the right one?) Have not been able to find the others in early 1800's censuses. 2) There is a 1806 Will of John Bell who, among other items, left land on Bell's Island and Gibbs Woods to a son named Hillary Bell. It mentioned that this Hillary was under-aged in 1806. (???) 3) A deed of land from John M. Roberts and his wife, Dorothy, to a Hillary Bell in 1816, registered in 1822 Currituck Co. Deed Book. 4) A Rev. War widow pension request from one Abiah/Abijah Williams who states her deceased husband was Col. John Williams, who died Nov 7, 1835. (Could they be the parents of Mary Williams Connelly?) 5) A few other tidbits that may or may not connect. Any help on finding out more about the people would be much appreciated.
