Roy, Cannot answer that question, as it relates more to census taking and I don't have that info. But can give you an idea of where.... Cypress Creek, if you look at a map of Duplin County, lies above its line with New Hanover County and runs from the NE Cape Fear River toward Onslow County with Black Swamp and Nine Mile Creek extending from it. Ah.. another place to look for your Hunter folks is in A.B. Pruitt's Abstracts of Land Entries for Duplin County, 1778-1795; and Sampson Co, 1734-1795 and 1853-1860... if you've not looked there yet. Someone on the list might have a copy.

When working with the site given below, I have found if you just put in the surname of one or the other, not both, of the people you are looking for, example, the marriage records or deaths, it works better. That is, instead of giving the whole name. I get better results that way.

That is very true as there are many mispellings on the site as they were copied directly from the records. Some will also be listed more than once under different forenames.

I would appreciate any information on the parents of Gideon D. Parker. I understand my 2nd great grandparents raised him and his name was Gideon Davis Rouse, and he took the surname Parker. We have Davis and Rouse in our family, so I am trying to find out if he could be connected to one of them. My great grandfather was Luther Waitsol Parker who was the last child born to James Richard Parker and Charity E. Stevens. I am also looking for Charity E. Stevens parents and siblings. Can't seem to get a clue on her family. Help! June

Searching for who Walter Blaney Williams b.abt 1870's parents and sibs are.

When the courts decided the guardianship of an orphan child what happened when he was placed under an uncle or other relative? Did he become a 'ward' like in the movies of Old England and his guardian merely oversee his education and property until he became of age, or did the child actually live with his guardian? If he had a step-mother living would he likely stay in the house with her even though she had no legal rights over his property and would not the house be legally his if he were the eldest? Also what is the difference between apprenticeship and indentureship in the case of a minor, and could the courts order indentureship of a minor orphan if he had inherited property rights of his own? At what age could he claim and dispose of his inherited properties?
