To show you the trouble I've had with your family, the partial message (below) is something that I started on November 4th. I've kept it in the draft folder of my computer hoping to find more before I sent it to you. "Sue, I can't find anything on them in Duplin County during the very early years (the focus of most of my books) but I do have a list of North Carolina Taxpayers 1679-1790 that might enable you to bridge to your known data." Imagine me glee when I got your e-mail yesterday giving me more family names, Finally, I could do something to help you. Oh, thanks a lot for this bunch, too. Is it possible that your entire family was in the "witness protection program"? There is nothing on LUCK (i.e. no luck with the Lucks) in Duplin. There is nothing on GRESHAM/GRISHAM/GRISSOM in Duplin County. A little bit on BISHOP, O'DANIEL and HAIR/HARE in Duplin County. A little bit on HAIR/HARE in Bladen County. A little bit on WEEKS in every county EXCEPT Duplin. I'll gladly send you everything that I have today. Maybe someone on the List can help. Dee
