My third greatgrandmother was Clarissa (Clarkey) Boyet who married Lemon Nasworthy in Duplin Co., NC in 1832. Lemon and Clarkey left NC and came to Georgia. In Lemon's pension papers he said he was born in Duplin Co, NC. I would appreciate if anyone has any information on the parents of Clarissa, if they would notify me.

Katherine, This is just a tidbit to give you something to mull over while I'm at the dentist (do patron saints go to dentists?). 3A 503 Stephen Herring to Daniel Murphy, both of Duplin Co., 31 Oct 1804, for 125 silver dollars 100A on the waters of Rockfish, beg. at a maple at the mouth of Peg's Marsh Branch, adj. the lines of Moore, Timothy Murphy & John Matthis, to Matthis's Mill Branch, being part of a survey of 300A granted by patent to William Murphy dec'd.

I should have put more on this. Thomas Lanier b. abt. 1780 parents: Jesse Lanier and Sarah Whaley Would like to know are their any sons from either that were born bet. 1790-1800 that are not accounted for? Ash

Seems that no one has the children names of Thomas Lanier and his first wife. Can anyone tell me when he married the second time. Was it after the years 1790-1800?I know that his second wife was Thena? But am very interested in his first family. Ashley

Hi Sue, This is going to take a little digging. There is nothing in the Duplin Abstracts (don't forget I have more books ordered covering all the years) and you didn't give me any dates, so all I could check are the years 1784-1813. There are no Greshams with any spelling variations, but tomorrow I'll check some other books of very early provinces in North Carolina. Please let me know any dates that you have. You did great. A lookup is a request for information (specific or general) from an individual or a "list" (such as Bladen or Duplin). When I started buying this collection of books, I asked the Bladen List if anybody needed any lookups. I don't think I was quite that public with the Duplin List, but the invitation is just as heartfelt. You will discover that these people are most generous, with both their enthusiasm and their tireless efforts in someone else behalf. All you have to do is ask.
