I don't know whether this may be helpful, but I can tell you where to find the Brock Cemetery (referencing your subject line). My great great great uncle, his wife, and their two sons are buried there. There are a number of Brocks and at least one Kornegy grave in the small, chain link-fenced cemetery out beyond a small grove of pecan trees The Brock Cemetery is located near the Bear Marsh Baptist Church in Beautancus. In fact, the cemetery is located adjacent to the original site of the church, across and up the road from its present location. As I recall, the small cemetery is located approximately 300 meters behind the Sollis-Brock House on Beautancus Road. According to a locally prepared "History of the Calypso Community" (by Thomas Mitchell Byrd, published in October 2000 by the Calypso Historical Community), page 22, the house, believed to be the oldest house in the Beautancus community, was built by my great x3 uncle, Bryant Sollis, in the mid-19th Century; it was later owned by the Frank Brock family. The property, a small white house (I believe it has a red tin roof) with a large red "D" on the chimney, is now owned by Elbert and Christine Davis. Mrs. Davis is the granddaughter of Susan and Frank Brock, who acquired the house in the 1890's. The Davis' son, Jimmy, was kind enough to allow me and my wife to examine the cemetery. He told us that he and his mother had been born in the Sollis-Brock House (although he didn't allude to it by that name). I believe he owns the horse farm adjacent to his parents' home. When we asked, he said he was not familiar with the name of reference, Brock Cemetery--adding, "come to think of it, though, there are a bunch of Brocks buried back there; so, I guess that must be what you're looking for." I hope this helps you.

Hi I have 2 or 3 reels of microfilm which contain letters and files from the research of A.T. Outlaw. May be 4, can't recall--years since I purchased them. I had to read on a machine at the library. I do have an index of what each contained which came with the film. I will try and see if I can scan and post. I can't do any searching on the film--have to find them first :>) and then recover from knee surgery. Sorry I can't help more at this moment. Barbara S.

Does anyone know of BLACK WILLIAMS? He had a son, George Washington WILLIAMS. Was Black a nickname? Who was his wife and other children? TIA, Gayle

SW side Cape Fear River, Martha WEST, age 73, lived alone in 1850. Can someone tell me that Lyon Swamp is/is not located on the SW side of the Cape Fear River? Thanks for any info on this matter or on Martha WEST. Who were her parents? Siblings? Children? When and where did Martha die? I did not locate her Bladen 1860. Thanks.

I purchased a CD from the NC Genealogical Society two years ago at a conference sponsored by them here in Raleigh. The CD is titled "NC Genealogical Society Journals - 1975-2000". This article is on the CD. If someone knows the address for the NC Genealogical Society, I would think they could get in contact and purchase the CD. Hope this helps!

Having recalled seeing these surnames on the list, I thought the following might be helpful to someone. >From "Mississippi River Routes (pubd. by the Vicksburg Gen. Society), Vol 10, No. 1, Fall 2002: Referring to an article in the Vicksburg Evening Post, Jan 27, 1902: Mr. S.C. BECK of Edgar, Nebraska., a Federal veteran, ..visiting scenes recalled of the Siege of Vicksburg in 1863 as a member of Co. C., 124th Illinois Reg.; also the battles at Champion Hill and Big Black River. Beck was born in Natchez to a father from the North; mother, the South. Family moved to Ill. when he was 18 months old. Has kin in Ms. and La., among them a cousin, Rev. Mr. NORSWORTHY, Methodist minister.

Fran, If you do get the Journal.... Don't go to a lot of trouble, but if you should happen to find any information about the following land entry, please let me know. I assume that is the Goshen Swamp, but I'm not sure. I'd like to know where that land was located. ------------------------------ "Abstracts of Land Patents" for the colony of North Carolina, 1735-1764 #467, page 82 of Patent Book 2 William Carrell, 17 Nov 1753, 100 acres in Duplin county on the Great branch of Cape Fear, joining the swamp. ------------------------------ I have a special interest in this William. He MAY be the father of Jesse Carroll - and NOT the William of Granville County as it is written up in many places, even in the Heritage Book. Also, in the northwestern tip of Duplin (Wayne County border) on the northeastern side of the river there is or was a place on the map called "Carrol's Pt." I don't know if that is related to the William who got the land grant in 1753 or not. No searching for it.... but if you happen to see his name assigned to clear the channel in the swamp or see his land on a plat, please let me know. Thanks.
