Hi Bobbie, I haven't looked at them yet, but, really, appreciate your help on this line. As for the Mary Woodhouse, yes, I do have the proof. I recall that it is a court document stating that Lemuel Sanderson willed land that Mary received from her father, John Woodhouse, to his son and that she didn't give up her dowery of this land and wants it back. Mary was, first, married to Lemuel Sanderson and then at his death to Joseph Gray. Col. John Woodhouse named Mary Sanderson as his daughter in his Will and his son, Lemuel Woodhouse, named her in his Will as his sister, Mary Gray. I am pretty sure that all this is on the Currituck website at USGENWEB.org. I will see what I can find. Julia In a message dated 8/14/2010 7:02:41 P.M.

I'm sending you offline everything I have on this family. You have Mary's last name, Woodhouse. I don't have that. Do you have a source for it? It's not a typical Hatteras Island name indicating he may have married elsewhere.

I suspect that his father was Thomas, as that is the name of his first son. Many of the early records for that area are missing. I did find some deeds recorded in Hyde Co., Books. I didn't know they were from Hatteras as I am not familiar with the area. My line is below. Nancy Gray who married Daniel Burfoot Lindsey was my gggrandmother. They moved to MS then AR. If I find any thing more, I will let you know. And if you find proof of Joseph's father, please, let me know. 1 Joseph Gray d: Bet.
