I found at the State Archives in Raleigh, NC, A Hand written note filed with the marriage lic of my Grandparents MR. JONAH MATHEWS and MISS MARY MATILDA RICH. Dated April 1st 1866. It is headed... ....COTTAGE HILL, The paper is asking for a marriage lic to be sent to him for the above couple to be married. It is signed OWEN FENNELL. (who I am told was a Sheriff of New Hanover County). The couple was from what is NOW Duplin and Sampson Co, THEN New Hanover Co... I believe. My Question is, Where is COTTAGE HILL? Also seeking Parents of JONAH MATHEWS/MATHIS and Mother of MATILDA RICH. I would like to find someone researching either Family.........Aleine M. Hill
