She is shown as such in Peter Robertson's will. However, Richmond Dozier and JOHN POPE, friends of Peter, are named as executors of Peter's will. Also please note the following correction to the will info I posted - his son John IS listed in the will - given one dollar. According to other Robertson researchers, the Pope and Robertson families intermarried more than once. Bonnie

Greetings, I have received a large detailed map of Edgecombe (Thanks Traci! it's wonderful!) where major landholders are actually written on the map at their respective properties. I found a W.T. Knight written where my ancestors were living in 1870 and 1880. The trouble is that the W.T. Knight I found was there in 1905. I need to close this gap. I would like some familial info. on W. T. Knight of Sparta Township, Edgecombe Co. (1900) so I can go on to do a will/estate records search. I would like to trace his family back to 1870. Thank you, ---Karmella __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo! Mail - only $35 a year! http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/

I also have ordered from Heritage Quest and I do not have any complaints. In fact on one order I ordered two tapes that I had mistaking ordered before. I called the 800 number and told them what had happened. I couldn't send them back but they graciously sent me two free certificates. I do not work for Heritage Quest. Jo

Just make sure you are ordering the actual census records. I ordered a set from a different company and found out all I was getting was an index to the census, and it turned out to be "selective counties" only.

Frances I have also purchased numerous Heritage Quest CD's for census records... not the indexes. The Heritage Quest website offers both products for sale but I thought their description was clear so you know which product you are ordering. Another technique is to go to the website, check the census CD product numbers and then call their 800 number to place the order. That way you can verify you are ordering the product you want.

I haven't bought any CD's from Ancestry.com but I have bought a large number of them from an outfit called Heritage Quest. They're easy to use and I've enjoyed my experience with them. The quality of the images depends very much on the quality of the microfilms from which they are made but most of them are pretty good. With the self-contained viewer program which comes on each CD, you can manipulate the images by magnifying them or adjusting other characteristics such as light and contrast. They do not have a name index or a search for name capability but you can jump from page to page in a flash so I like using them much better than using microfilm. The 1790 census fits an entire state on one CD but for later years, as the population increased, more CD's are required. By the time you get to the 1900 census, there's usually only one or two counties per CD.The CD's are keyed to the microfilm so you can usually figure that you need the same number of CD's as you would need microfilm rolls. In one or two cases, I had to order two CD's to get all of one county but most often, I only needed one CD for a county for each census. Depending on the situation, I was lucky to get 2 or 3 counties I was interested in on just one CD. When I started, I wanted to order about 20 C.D.'s priced at $19.95 for a total of $399.00. The company was offering a "buy 3, get 1 free" deal and I found that by taking a one year membership, I could save another $5.00 per CD. I wound up getting the CD's for $225.00 plus about $59.00 for the membership. I later ordered more CD's at the same savings and let the membership lapse after I had built my collection. That's something you should consider if you want to buy a large number of CD's. When I checked the web site a few minutes ago, they were still offering the buy 3, get1 free deal and a $5 discount for members. Even without a membership, you can get the CD's right now for about $15.00 each if you buy at least three. I have no affiliation with this company; I'm simply a satisfied customer who would recommend that anyone consider their products. They have a great many other quality products besides the census CD's. When I was doing the homework about 18 months ago, they had the best deal around. I've not checked lately to see if anyone else (including Ancestry.com) is offering a better deal.

Has anyone ever bought any of the CDs that Ancestry.Com advertises which contain the Census Records for various years? They are advertising their CDs at a pretty reasonable rate right now and it would be more convenient for me since I have to make a trip to look at NC Census records. However, I was wondering about their format and if they are user friendly. It appears that several states are on one CD and if there is no index, etc. it could be very cumbersome. If anyone has any experience with this, please let me know. Thank you! Frances Researching: JONES, BELL, STATON, HOUSE, PEER, DEARING, ALEXANDER, WHITE

Searching for other Surname Owen(s) researcher in Isle of Wight, Newport Parish VA. and Edgecombe Co. NC. I am searching for Elisha Owen(s) and Family in Edgecombe Co. NC in the late 1700's. They lived on the border of Edgecombe Co. and Pitt Co. NC. They lived a few miles north of the town of Fountain NC. Elisha Owens and his wife Amey had the following children: John Owens Etheldred Owens Robert Owens Nancy Owens Alpheus Owens Elisha Owens Jr. It is believed that Elisha Owen(s) descended from John Owen who lived in the area of Newport Parish VA. It is believed that John Owen sold his land in Newport VA to Elias Owens his son in 1789 and moved to Edgecombe Co. NC by 1790. The descendents of John Owen and his wife Sarah Duck are though to be: Elias Owens Elisha Owens William Owens Dempsey Owens John Owens Jr. Would appreciate sharing information with other Owen(s) Researchers William Owens

Traci, What I am looking for is a Robert C. DANIEL who seems to fit the Robert you listed in the Wills section and this person would have moved to GA by about 1810. The "C." is supposed to stand for Chesley, according to the VALLOTTON Family. There is a David DANIEL in Burke County, GA with Robert C. DANIEL but I do not know if he is a brother or not. I also think this Robert C. DANIEL possibly had a sister named Martha Julia DANIEL, who married John Reason WHITEHEAD, Esq. about 1800. The Wright DANIEL you list as being in Washington County, GA is probably connected to the Ezekiel DANIEL that is listed as the father of a Julia A. DANIEL, born 1824, who married Judge Andrew E. TARVER, Esq. of Jefferson County, GA. What is amazing to me in some of the stuff you occasionally see. Let's use the example of a person who has the christened name of "Joseph William XXXXX," but everybody in the family calls his "Birdie," because he barely has enough sense to walk upright on two legs -- a natural born bird brain, hence the name.. However, over time this "Birdie" becomes "Bertie" and finally it evolves in the early years of the 21st Century into its more eloquent version, "Albert." Just to complicate matters and make his name have a more royal ring to it, these same people use a little literary license and this Albert now becomes "Albert George XXXXX." So what we do is chase after a "Joseph William" because that is the name listed in the family bible and his father's will, never realizing the fictionalized "Albert George," who we know a lot about, is really "Joseph William XXXXX. <grin> John R.
