Does anyone know anything about BRADDOCK WILLIAMS listed in the 1850 Duplin County Census as being 44 and a farmer with wife Mary ____ and 4 children. William H. 11 --- Susan M. 9 --- Benjamin F. 7 --- Ann C. 3. My line comes from Benjamin Franklin - I have the line to present day will be happy to share. I need to find the parents of BRADDOCK , also his death date and burial place. I know he died between 1856, when his last child was born and 1860 when the 1860 Onslow County Census lists Mary Williams 40 domestic with children Matilda 18 domestic --- Benjamin f. 16 pupil --- Ann C. 12 pupil --- Lemuel C. 9 pupil --- Lucy J. 7 pupil --- Elizabeth C. 5 --- Dora R. 4. Can anyone help me with this family? I will be forever greatful. Margaret in Ga. Idabs@aol.com

Linda, I think I have the Sarah Gibbs who married your Thomas Bennett. Her father was John Gibbs who married Sarah McRee in ?, and died in 1809. His will was witnessed by Thomas Bennett, and in his will he mentions his daughter Sarah Bennett. John Gibbs had sons, Charles and John, and daughters Susanna Burns, Tamzarine Rogers, Zilpha Jernigan, Sarah Bennett, Mary Bourden, and Charity Bourden. I don't know if Charity Bourden was a misprint or not, because she is mentioned elsewhere in his will as Charity Gibbs. Zilpha Jernigan was my gggg grandmother, who married Jesse Jernigan of Duplin Co., NC. Thought I would pass this along to you. regards, Kathy Mosley

Dear Melba: I have a John Byrd who married a Rebecca Bennett in Duplin Co., NO in 1799. This would have been about the right time for a son of Micheal's to be getting married. They moved to Muhlenberg Co., KY and he died about 1808 and she married a Spence Hynes/Hines and moved to McCracken Co., KY with John's 5 children, Nathan, John Jr., Anne, Polly & Sally. There is a will for him. There is a will on Rebecca's father Thomas Bennett who I believe had two wifes Ann Kennard and Sarah Gibbs. I have not done a great deal of research on these, but would like to. Hope this helps. You can email me at hortters@mindspring.com Linda (Story) Hortter

The response from this list on my post requesting info on Charity Houston and Hosea Murray Family posted Mar 23, 1999 has been fanastic. In three days, y'all have more than answered by questions and gone beyond. It's great. If anyone has an interest in this family and Charity's connection to the Houston, Moore, and Cleveland Co Dickson families, just let me know and I'll send you a recap of my research on her. Thanks, Roy Robinson

Trying to locate GARNER in Duplin County in approx. 1780 to early 1820s -- believe Our ggggrandfather William SCARBOROUGH married a GARNER approx. 1786 and had a son MILES SCARBOROUGH. We assume she died and William left son MILES in his in-law's care. He traveled on to Montgomery County, NC in 1792. There is a letter to William from his brother in Greene County, NC states "ole Mother Garner is dead" He should come and get his son Miles. Thanking you in advance for any help Joanna Long Scarboro

I need the 1810 and 1820 Duplin County Census entries for Lanier & Murphy. How do I obtain those? Thanking you!

I need the names of the children of William & Sarah Cooper Williams married 17 January 1806 in Duplin County,NC. I am trying to prove they are the parents of my Braddock Williams b.1806/07 NC d.1856/59 Duplin County NC Braddock married Mary _____ b.1820 and had the following children: William H. b.1835/38 (given the 14 yr.difference in age - Braddock may have been married previously and William H. could be a child of this marriage) --- Susan Matilda 1842 --- Benjamin Franklin 1845 --- Ann C. 1848 --- Lemuel C. 1851 --- Lucy J. 1853 --- Elizabeth C. 1855 --- Dora R. 1856. Braddock was listed in the 1850 Duplin County Census as 44 and a farmer - Is there any way I can find out where the farm was located? Braddock died shortly after the last child was born in Duplin County as Mary was in Onslow County 1860 Census alone, with all the children except William H. Can anyone relate to this family? I would like to know where William, Sarah and Braddock are buried. Margaret in Ga. Idabs@aol.com
