Does anyone have information on Alfred Rouse married to Elizabeth Q. He is the father of David William Rouse born 1841 and I believe the son of David Rouse, Sr. born 1790. Does anyone have any information on him and know who Elizabeth was. I have their descendants information but am unable to go backwards. Regards, Janice English White

Does anyone have information on Francis Savage and Marie Teachey. They were married about 1836 in Duplin County. I know that one child was Catherine Jean Savage born 1842. Francis is sometimes referred to as Henry. Does anyone know who their parents were? Thank you, Janice English White

I am researching Benjamin Joel Heath, my g-g-grandfather. He married Hepsey Smith and lived in Duplin and Pender Counties. He served in the Civil War. Per some old notes I have his mother's name was Barbary. His father died prior to 1850 because his mother was listed as head of household in that Census. Through a process of elimination I have found a Barbary Heath who married William Heath (the same one listed as an heir in John William's will - his son-in-law married to daughter Barbary). Marriage bond records show that William Heath married Barbary Williams 3-26-1789. Though the time line seems long (1789 marriage and a son who served in the Civil War) it is not completely illogical that Benjamin Joel Heath was the son of William Heath and Barbary Williams Heath. Do you have any information on Benjamin Joel Heath? Is he in fact the son of William and Barbary? Do you have any info on who William Heath's parents and grandparents were? Do you have any info of who John Williams' and Prescilla Barnes' parents were? Any info you could give me would be greatly appreciated. --part1_38288718.24e970bd_boundary--

Does anyone have anything from the archives to show that Serena/Arcena Williams who married Dawson Pickett was the daughter of John Williams, ca 1790? It's very hard for me to get to Raleigh to the archives to look up the Duplin Estates folders and John Williams to see if there is any evidence to photocopy proving that Serena/Arcena was his daughter. John Williams (1790 & Prescilla Barnes) was the son of John Williams (d. 1761) and Prudence (?), son of Anthony Williams (d. 1717, Chowan) and Bartha (Bush), son of Lewis Williams (d. 1717, Chowan) and Mary (?). It might be possible to get the verification through Prescilla Barnes Williams, dau of Jacob Barnes, d 1764, Edgecombe, son of Joseph Barnes, d 1751, Northapton, son of Jeremiah Barnes of Perquimons. Help? Any help will be most appreciated. Beverly

Family sources tell us that James Richard Coles grave is off of Jackson Store Road in a thicket of trees not far from David Lude Coles grave. Lude Coles grave is on Jackson Store Road and easly seen from the road. There are only two graves there. We believe that my GGrandfather, George Washington Cole is burried there also, but we haven't trecked back there to see who is there.

Wendy, Good to hear from you. Yes, Im starting school also next week, although not as busy as you. Anyway, when I sent you the Orphan records of David BOYETT and his children, you sent me the information on William BOYETT. You did explain that according to his pension records Michael was the only surviving male. David was living in Alabama at the time. David has not been positivly idenified as his child yet. Still looking for David BOYETT's parents.You also listed a son William(?) who married a Polly. Could this be David, as Polly is a name listed on the orphan records as well as Mary? You also listed David as having the following children, *Henry who married Alley GUY *Elizabeth *Patsey who married William BOHANON *Jane C. who married John J. HARVELL *Mary Alice who married Marion TAUNTON *Charles Dudley who married Elizabeth HARVELL The other three possible children, because the minors lived with them are *Harriett who married Green KNOWLES *Keziah who married William WHITTINGTON *William Of course all this info has not been seen in Primary sources except for David BOYETT's 6 children listed on the orphan records. Hope this clarifies things for ya. If you have any questions please email me. Also could you resend me your address and phone, I lost it and I would like to send you something. Thanks and good luch with the school thing. Joe Garcia Angels Camp California

THANK YOU!!! I am trying to list all men from Duplin Co. NC that fough for the Confederate States Of America.

I have hit a dead end. I'm looking for James Richard Cole, Wife is Agnes McGowan. The only information I have is that they were married, don't know when or where, and that James Richard Cole died 5-30-1929 and on his headstone it says that his mothers name was Courtney, but no mention of his father. The children were all supposedly born in Duplin County. They are Dollie Julia b1881 who married Jacob Smith, Agnes Caroline b1885 who married Perry Albertson, Melissa married Tate Mobley, Ina married Lloyd Brown, J. E. or "Ed" married Lucy Williams, D.L. or David Lude married Lucy Lanier, Mary Jane married Lloyd Hunter, Adina married Dunn Pickett, George Washington? Cole who died in 1913. George was married to Florence Swaney and had a daughter, Annie Estelle Cole, my grandmother. George died when she was an infant and my mother had little, if any contact with the Cole family. I live in Texas and don't have access to information there in Duplin County. The family history center has been closed all summer here and the library hasn't been much help either. I'm looking for any information on James Richard Cole and Agnes McGowan or McGowen, who both their parents were, where they came from, birth dates, anything that I could build on. I think that James Richard Cole will be connected to Thomas or Robert Cole from the 1840 census, but I can't find the in between. If only I could get a new starting point!
