Duplin County early records are not so easy to come by I understand. It seems that when the British were nearby that their records were buried for safe keeping. After the Revolutionary War was over there was a dispute as to where they were buried and they were never found. This came from a renown Duplin/Sampson County researcher and I am just repeating what was told to me. I know there were so many Joseph Williams in that area that I have not been able to prove the father and/or siblings of Joseph Williams m Martha Perritt/Parrott ca 1766/7 and sold the land that was first granted or patented to Robert Tew about the middle 1700's but had been sold before my Joseph bought it. My Joseph Williams had sons William, Perritt/Parrott, Lemuel, Henry and Hezekiah; daughters Martha "Mollie" and Rebecca "Rebeah." He was a corporal in the Rev. War 1st NC Regiment and I have a copy of this muster record. Soon after the Sampson Co. 1800 census my Joseph Williams moved to Anson County, NC. He was a Baptist elder helping organize a number of Primitive Baptist churches in Anson County (that part that became Union Co. in 1842.) Any information or clue would be greatly appreciated.

Well said, Donna! Applause for Diane for making Duplin County genealogical history an exciting, almost living thing, even for those of us who are hundreds of miles away. How I wish I could contribute stories about my Duplin County female ancestors. All I have at this point are the names of my family's Duplin County men with the Wilkins surname and the possible first names of their wives. I do think that Nancy, the wife of my William Wilkins Sr. (b. abt. 1753) may have been surnamed Hannah, but that's speculation at this point. My Wilkins line came to Kentucky from Duplin before 1803, so I haven't found a lot to go on. Still, I am eager to read what others contribute about the women of Duplin County. I'm especially hopeful that some of you can share accounts of the mid- to late-1700s in that geographic area. At least I could get a sense of what life might have been like for my Wilkins clan.

How about you, you have done such good work for this site. You should have your name among the list of great women who have giving their time and effort in the history for Duplin Co. This is my personal opinion, which I think everyone would agree. What a legacies to give to you children. Donna
Hi all, First off, I want to thank each and every one of you who sent checks to try and purchase cards. We would have been able to purchase all 43 families we were interested in and would have been able to give the library (as of today s mail) $1, 125.00 for the copies. Each of you were very generous with your checks and I do appreciate that. Your checks have been returned to you or destroyed if that is what you asked me to do. I also want to apologize to each of you personally for the emails that were sent through the list, they should have been sent directly to me as web master of the site instead of involving each of you so an agreement could have been reached. I would have in turn let you know what was going on without everyone getting upset. Let us please drop this now. If you have any questions about it please email me directly. Now, it is time for us to move on to other projects. We are all here to gather information on our families not to work against each other. Remember family history and information is for sharing not just for us to be a collector. As I told you in a past email this is Women's History month. Let's all work together and get some information gathered and posted on all of the great women from Duplin County. Ruth Faison Shaw is one such woman. She was known as the "First lady of finger painting". If anyone has ties to her and has information on her it would be great if you could share some information on her for us to add to the site. Also, if you know of any other great women from Duplin please consider sending in some information on them as well. I am still looking for people to do transcriptions as well. I still have stacks and stacks of materials that need transcribing so they can be posted to the site. If you are interested please contact me off list. So come on Duplin, let's pull up our boot straps and move on to bigger and better things! Happy Hunting!

Fran Powell's comments are typical of many people. I will give out my information if and when I want to. I work with several herealdric societies as registrars. Many people want to use information obtained from the internet that has no proof. They get out of joint when they are told they will have to do some research on their own. Well, they say, I got this from the internet. That is not the end all of end all. I like to help people, but many of those who want to trade information, really mean I will give them theirs, send them copies and then get no thank you, no information in return and no offer to pay my expenses. Genealogy is hard work. I will help anyone, but I will not let them take advantage of me. People will misuse someone, and then that causes trouble for all. Mary Sue **************It's Tax Time!

I have some BELLs listed on various deeds and census' from Bute & Duplin Counties in 1700's & 1800s.

Deed from Allen Groves to Paul Patrick 1770 (Bute County) by oath of Thomas Bell, esq. Deed-Allen(Allan) Groves sold land to Thomas Bell in 1769 (Bute County). Deed- Thomas Sherrod to Allen Groves (Bute County). This land was adjacent to Bell & Pierce. 1765 Allen Groves to Thos.Bell 1768 Both from Bute County. "Bear Swamp adjacent to Bell & Pierce.

A study in contrasts: The little group at Duplin wants to keep the information under lock and key. Few can ever get there. vs a dying lady who wants to give away 13 filing cabinets packed full of her lifelong work. Wants it posted online to help everyone. Hmmm. Had I purchased one of those cards, I would have purchased the information on it. The information was exchanged for money. Therefore, with proper credit, I would feel free to disburse that information, in a responsible format, as I saw fit. How many people have huge gedcoms of their own work that have been published to help as many people as possible? How many have kept them safely stashed in their little computers and share with few/none. Yes, a study in contrasts. ----- Original Message ----- From: <ncduplin-request@rootsweb.com> To: <ncduplin@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 4:21 PM Subject: NCDUPLIN Digest, Vol 3, Issue 82 > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Wanda, When I visited Duplin County in 2003 I drove from Warsaw to Kenansville via route 24. There is a museum on south side as you enter Kenansville. I stopped there for a couple of hours and found a book of place names and history of Duplin County. I was able to locate directions to BULLARD BRANCH on the north side of Goshen Swamp. This branch was named after GGG Grandfather William BULLARD as the original Land Grant owner (1762) at that point. I was able to locate the branch and the bridge accrose it on a road that my ancestor likely helped layout in 1790 according to court records.

By 1910, she is listed in the census as a "widow" again, in Glisson Township. She is from Virginia, I have no idea why she ended up in Duplin. Can anyone tell me anything about Oscar Davis?

First, I want to apologize to the mailing list. I was trying to send a personal message to Sloan. I was as surprised as any of you when I got it right back. That is my fault, whether caused by carelessness, old age -- whatever. I am sorry I sent it. For the record: (1) I check the answering machine at the library everyday, usually at least twice. No one has left a message in the past week except for a recording giving the library one last chance to extend the warranty on it's automobile! No one has hung up on anyone because no one has been in the library in the past week. Last Tuesday morning was the last time it was unlocked. For the record: (2) I just alphabetized the addresses of incoming mail and found a message from you dated yesterday. I did not see it in the flood of messages I was getting. If I had, I would have responded. Again I apologize to you for that, also. I agree with the writer who just wrote in to say that enough has been said about this matter. I am sorry that things got to this point. Please destroy the files. One last time, I sincerely apologize for sending the message for Sloan to the wrong place. Now I am out of this.

I have been calling and emailing for a couple of weeks now with no return phone calls or any answers to my emails. I have however been hung up on, on a couple of occasions now when I called. Here is an email I sent yesterday to which no reply has come. -------Original Message------- From: Mike & Diane Date: 3/3/2008 11:28:27 AM To: fussellh@earthlink.net Subject: Card Collection Horace, I wish you would have contacted me before sending these messages through the mailing lists. I have repeatedly requested that Fred send me a list of board names and contact information so that I could contact the board in reference to these cards and I never received a reply. I did not know you were a member of the board or of anyone else with the exception of Fred. We could have tried to work this out without getting the boards all in an uproar. Would you please explain to me why the cards cannot be posted on the site? We were not gong to post all 36,000 of the cards as you say. We were going to post the ones that people were interested in. This in turn would lead more people to the library and would have made people a lot more interested in its holdings. I do send messages through the list about the library, about it needing volunteers, holdings, etc. I also advise anyone looking for information to go to the library including sending the phone number of the library to many people as well as the lists so people can make appointments to go there to get information. I have had people for months tell me they get no return phone calls and I tell them to keep trying, and yes this was before we ever became interested in the card collection.
