Melba, In "Duplin County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions" it was ordered that Abraham Newton pay to John Bray the sum of 18pds out of the estate of Jacob Newton, dec'd for the maintenance of an infant child which was lawfully sworn to said Newton, dec'd, for the term of 3 years, which is now expired. Jan. 21, 1812. Abraham Newton was the oldest son of Jacob Newton. Jacob Newton's death date used to put at 1797, but recent research shows that he was dead by 1787. Is this your Daved Goff?

Hi Listmembers! One William ROBINSON witnessed several Duplin Co. deeds for WEST men, 1766-1776. Would like to correspond with anyone researching William ROBINSON. Who were his parents? His spouse? Children? Thanks. Fran powell@cvn.net until 12 July 1999

I am researching the WHITE, WARD, LANIER, MURPHY, CARLTON & related families of Duplin & Sampson counties. Members from these lines moved from Sampson and Duplin counties to Thomas County, GA and later Colquitt County, GA in the early to mid 1800's. I am specifically interested in information on the ancestors/descendants/relatives of James WHITE, born abt 1814 in Sampson, NC; married to Elizabeth LANIER, born abt 1817 in Sampson or Duplin Co., NC, the daughter of John LANIER and Esther ?? It is possible that James' parents were Mathew WHITE & Sophia WARD WHITE. I am also looking for the family/parents of Hillory G. MURPHY who married Margaret Wells, the daughter of Thomas WELLS and Mary STALLINGS. Additionally, I would like to identify the family/parents of Thomas Murphy LANIER who married Temperance CARLTON, the daughter of Hardy CARLTON Sr. and Elizabeth "Betsey" SLOAN. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you. ------------- Noland White nwhite@utk.edu

The big problem here is that you have listed the children of Stephen Herring and Sarah Bright, his wife -- not the children of Samuel Herring. Stephen was the son of Samuel and Ann Williams Herring. There is nothing in the will of Stephen that indicates that Alexander was a minor. In fact, Alexander and Stephen Bright Herring were executors of their father's will. Samuel will was dated 1750 and was recorded in Johnton County records. He named the following children: Anthony, Stephen, Michael, Barthena, "all my children" and son-in-law Jn Connerley. Anthony was appointed executor. Hope this will help. Horace CGT714@aol.com wrote: > > Herrng, Samuel b??

Thanks for the input Don. I found the connection of the Newton and Chambers names interesting, too. However, Isaac Newton who married Jemima Chamber was already dead by the time Mr. Armstrong became a clerk in Mr. Chambers store. There is an Isaac who was a son of George Newton and had a son named William Isaac Newton b. 1809 who moved to GA and is buried in Brooks Co., GA. However, this Isaac also died (in 1825) before Mr. Armstrong became a clerk in Mr. Chambers store. There is a possibily also that this is Isaac and William Newton who were sons of Patrick Newton of Duplin Co. Any other guesses? Does anyone know why Patrick Newton is never put with the other Newton Brothers? The original name of Wilmington was New Town, shortened to Newton. Karen Roberts
