Hi Dee, When you have time would you please look up Blount and McCaleb in your Duplin Co. Book? Specifically, I am looking for: Warren (Warrin, Warran) Blount Benjamin Blount Gilbert McCaleb (McCalop, McCallup) John McCaleb Daniel McCaleb Archibald McCaleb Annis McCaleb Many, many thanks for everything you are doing. Carolyn Carroll

Dear Dee, I am fairly new to this and am not sure what a look up in your book is. Just read a few letters from others. I am researching any information on the Gresham/Grisham family of Duplin county. Specifically need information on parents of Thomas David Gresham or may have been David Thomas Gresham who was married to Barbara Bishop. Thomas and Barbara are buried in Duplin Co. I have their information. I have been told his father was a William Thomas or Thomas William Gresham who was married to Ann Weeks but I cannot find ANY information on the last two listed family members. Thanks, Sue

List, A deed from "Zebedie" & James Swinson to Maxey A. Manning executed in 1866 revealed their father to be Zebedee Swinson. James, identified as "of Onslon County", is my 2nd ggrandfather (b. abt. 1804 d. ?). "Zebidie", his brother, was born abt. 1810 according to the 1850 Census. Has anyone run across a Zebedee Swinson prior to 1800 in Duplin? I've seen some info that he was born abt. 1779, but have yet to confirm it. I'm trying to locate any documentation that may shed some light on Zebedee, the father. Appreciate any help. Chris Swinson

Looking for info on John Hill who married Edney (unknown). They were living in Duplin Co. in 1860, They must have died before 1870 as his three daus. were living with the brother Lewis H. Hill. They were living around Fasion area, anought brother was living there by the name of Ananais Hill. This John was living in Wayne Co. in 1850 on SS of the Neuse, and in 1840 in Buck Swamp Area the same as Dr Buckner Hill. Dr. Buckner Hill move to Duplin Co. about the same time as my John. Ananias's first son was named Buckner, and his son John Thomas Hill named a son Buckner. I think this two families are connected somehow, can any one help me. Dr. Buckner Hill had a brother John who married Jane Kenan. They had a son John Hill, JR. Could mine be the son of John and Jane? Dose anyone know where this John went? Any help would be very grateful. Thanks, Donna

William Fletcher Pearsall was born circa 1836 in Duplin Co, NC. He supposedly married Cordelia Ann Faison, but have been unable to verify. The 1870 census of Duplin reflects William Pearsall, age 34 and Cornelia Pearsall, age 32 in Faison Township. Cordeia Ann Faison was dau of William Wright Faison and Elizabeth Ann Oates. CSA File at National Archives reflectes one William F. Pearsall voluntarily enlisted as Private on 1 Oct 1861 at the age of 25. He was living in Duplin County. Enlisted in Company A, 38th Regiment, NC Troops, CSA. Promoted to 3rd Sgt Jan 1862, 1st Sgt 15 Mar 1863. He was born in Duplin Co, NC. Occupation: Farmer, height 6 feet. On 9 Apr 1865 he was on the list of POWs belonging to Army of Northern Va who were surrendered by Gen Robert E. Lee to Lt Gen U. S. Grant. Seek death dates and location of burial of both William Fletcher Pearsall and Cordelia Ann Faison. I have no record of any descendants. Steve Pearsall

Hi, I am looking for information on William Hall. The 1850 Guilford Co. Census has him as 57 born in Sampson Co. NC, his wife Elizabeth is 56 from Stokes. Their children are Unknown, Delilah, Elizabeth, Charity, Sarah, Charles and Christian. They may have married around 1820, there is a 16-20 year old child listed in the 1840 Stokes Census. By 1850 he has disappeared from the family group. I know this is Duplin but does anyone know anything of Wm. Hall fm. Sampson. Thanks, Clara ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

I have just subscribed to the Duplin list, and hope there are some Quinn descendants out there who can trace their roots back to Carteret County. From the Canaday family tree published at FamilyTreemaker.com, I learned that Loftin Quinn of Carteret County married Mary Canaday, and it looks like some of their sons may have ended up in Duplin County, because I see more references to them there than in Carteret Co. Loftin and Mary are thought to be the parents of Loftin, William L., Thomas, Margaret, and Abner, Sr. Most of these children would have been born in the 1750s and Loftin left a will in 1766, but did not name all of them. Abner Quinn, Sr. is thought to be the father of my husband's ancestor, Loflin Quinn, who married Polly Gould in Carteret in 1814. Loflin and Polly left Carteret Co. and were in Williamson Co., TN, about the time son Michael was born in 1817. Loflin received land in Shelby Co., AL, for his War of 1812 service, so they moved there and Michael raise! d his family in Shelby County. His son Loftin became a Baptist preacher and moved to Grant and Saline County, AR, by 1870. He was my husband's great grandfather. I would like to correspond with anyone who has info on the family of Loftin and Mary Canaday Quinn in Duplin County. Melanie Atkins College Station, TX

Hello All, I hope someone can help me with this. I'm trying to obtain a copy of a deed from Duplin Co. James and Zebidie Swinson to Maxey A. Manning; a tract on Back Swamp; executed 1866, filed Sep 28, 1869. (Duplin Deed Book 26, p. 143) Of course, I'd pay for any costs associated with copying and mailing this. Yes, I could write to the Register of Deeds office, but thought I'd try this first. If anyone will be in the area and will do this, please contact me. I'd greatly appreciate it. Chris Swinson
