In the 1982 issue of the NC Gen. Society Journal, there is an excellent article on the Goshen project with maps and the names of lots of people involved. It was written by Tom Byrd, who also did an excellent land plat map for part of Duplin County.

Can you tell me what is on the A. T. Outlaw papers? I am interested in anything on the Outlaws. Would love to find any Abner Henry Outlaw papers relating to the Outlaw book.

Fran, This is what I found on a web site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~burnhamfamilys/courtrecords.html Navegation Project on Goshen Swamp Duplin Co. 1785 >From the book on Duplin Co.. The committee reported to the April 1785 Court ; >From the great abundance of water in the said swamp-- there is a practicability of making it navigable by clearing the main run during the dry season. The justices then instructed the committee to search the run of Goshen, lay it off in districts and obtain a list of inhabitants living near each district. The committee reported to the July 1785 court that it had layed off the run of Goshen Swamp into 17 convenient small districts. These districts were numbered consectively from where the Goshen empties into the Northeast Cape Fear, Westward along the Swamp to just beyond the mouth of Panther Branch in the west, which flows into the south side of Goshen a few yards west of where, US 117, now crosses the swamp. This Panther Branch is not to be confused with Panther Creek, which empties into the northeast Cape Fear, just north of the mouth of Goshen Swamp in East Duplin County. A description of each District, together with the names of overseers and hands follows ; 1st district thru 14th district, other surnames. For the 15th District, from mouth of White Oak up to the Bridge ; John Bradley overseer, hands ; Jeptha Daniel, James Bradley, Shadrick Daniel, John Daniel Jr, William Gilly & his son,(not named) Thomas Wiggins & his Negro, William Burnham, William Hurst and his two Negroes, Thomas Flowers, Simon Flowers, Starling Powell & all others belonging to their families. There were other names listed for the 16th & 17th districts. This was also in the Duplin Co. Court minutes book of 1784-1787. Hope this helps!

Barbara, If you wouldn't mind could you send a copy to me and I can post it on the Duplin web site? It would be a great addition as well as helping other Frederick researchers as well!

Diane, Would you or someone else check for Peter Frederick, Felix Frederick, William Frederick and Frederick families what cemeteries they may be buried ? Thank you, P. Adams -- in Texas ********************** Researcing -- Frederick, Burgess, Hollis, Adams, Loyd, Priddy & Vest ancestors
Sorry but the only ones I have access to are the ones that have been transcribed and are up online. You can check the web site for the listings of books owned by volunteer look ups and see if they might have them listed in one of their cemetery books. You can look here: http://www.rootsweb com/~ncduplin/dlook.htm I know that Dunita has several of the cemetery books and I am sure Fran might as well. Just click on the link under reference and it will give you a listing of all of the books that they own that they are willing to do look ups in. Sorry I can't help you more.

Diane, Do you have the name of a cemetery where a Joseph Williams is buried...I believe it is near Woodland Church Road. It would be off the road.
Sorry but I don't have a Joseph Williams in any of the cemeteries so I am not sure which cemetery you are referring to. Can anyone else help?

Since the JONES surname has been discussed recently, I would like to ask if anyone can help me identify Lavina JONES. I know absolutely nothing about her except the following bond dated 1802. Max Peterson's abstract is below, followed by my transcription of the actual bond. Alexander Carrell is my ancestor I am researching. I don't think this is a marriage bond. Alexander married Lucy Ryal in 1783 and was still married to her when he wrote his will in 1827. The wording does not seem to be a bastardy bond, since both Alexander and Lavina are posting bond. I'm not sure of David Dodd's position at that time, but I do know that his name is on several documents. I assume he is the Clerk of Court. I have a theory! I have decided that Dempsey Carrell, Sr. is Alexander Carrell's father based on DNA results and deeds. I have reason to believe he died around 1802, but I have found no will or estate papers. I think this bond may have been posted to show in good faith that they would settle his estate. That leads me to believe that Lavina Jones was Alexander Carrell/Carrol's sister. So far I have not found an estate settlement record. Does anyone in the JONES family have a wife named Lavina about that time? Someone recently mentioned a book that had a complete genealogy of the JONES family. What is the name of the book, and where can it be located? What other resources are available for JONES research in Duplin/Sampson Counties? Thanks, Lura ================================= "Abstracts of Sampson County Deeds, Books 10-12", (ca. 1794 to ca. 1804) by Max R.

Some counties may still have the wills, but your best bet is to contact the archives. To get around paying $20.00 for a copy and only pay $2.00 for it contact someone that lives in NC to send in an email request for them or get a search angel from RAOGK http://www.raogk.org/listing.htm Click on North Carolina, and then find someone in Wake County.

Listmembers, for unknown reasons the post I recently sent regarding the WEST DNA went out multiple times. I only sent one post. Regrets, Fran
The WEST DNA study group now has 108 documented lines, one of them being the line of Willis WEST of Bladen, Duplin, Sampson Counties, NC and Fayette Co., GA. Willis' group is Family #12 and the haplogroup is I1c. Samuel WEST of Duplin and Sampson Counties, NC is Family Group 10 and that haplogroup is R1b1. We would very much like to have the DNA of one of the WEST families of Craven County, Cumberland County and Robeson County.
