Good Morning Karmella,My name is Vanessa Jones. I would suggest to you to look up or have someone look up old deeds. If they were slaves they would have been listed as property. Also, do you know the date of birth or the date of death of either Thomas or Cora?

I am searching for information on Enos Norville, Sr. (various spellings) who apparently lived most of his life in Edgecombe County. Others have indicated his father was Solomon Norville. I have been unable locate any documentation to that effect. Can someone help? Will appreciate any clues. Louise Evans

This family may be related to a John Reason WHITEHEAD Esq., who married a Martha Julia DANIEL ca. 1800, and later lived in Twiggs County, GA. Other links are to a TARVER and WISE families, as well as possibly collateral links to a BEASLEY, COUNCIL, PATTERSON, PERRY, GLYNN and BRANTLEY families. The known names of the children of this DANIEL Family are: Robert Williams DANIEL, Esq. (1810-1865, married MURPHEY, FLORENCE and RENEUA), James L. DANIEL (1813-before 1860, married MURPHEY and MOYE), Lucretia DANIEL (about 1810-?, married TARVER) and Sarah DANIEL (about 1800-about 1860, married WISE). Robert W. DANIEL was my GGF and his youngest daughter, Alice Elizabeth DANIEL (1854-1924) married John C. RICHTER, Sr. of Madison, Morgan, GA in 1872. We feel the TARVER who married Lucretia DANIEL about 1830 was related to a Samuel B. TARVER of Washington County, GA and Gen H. H. TARVER but do not know the exact connection. In 1850-1860 most of this family lived in the Jefferson County, GA area (specifically Bethany, Jefferson County, GA) and before that they lived in Burke County, GA. Lauderdale County, MS is also a hot spot for later descendents. Some person in the VALLATTON Family say the parent of this DANIEL Family was a Robert Chesley DANIEL and a Penny LANE but provide no documentation for this assignment. Others in the Allen DANIEL Family say their parent was a David DANIEL, a brother of Capt. Allen DANIEL of Madison, County, GA, but they, like the first, have no documentation for this assignment. Them again, other information seems to indicate they may have been related to the William DANIEL family of Edgefield District, SC. so, take your pick. <grin> Any information that you might have on any of these families is appreciated.

Traci, There are member of the DANIEL Family all over Edgecombe in the 1800 time frame and the THIGPENS, who I am also related to are from Edgecombe and they migrated to about the same area in GA in the same time frame. There are 25 DANIEL marriages in Edgecombe, NC between just 1820 and 1855. I also saw links in this county to several collateral families in GA that were of sufficient interest for me to check out the possibility my DANIEL bunch in Burke and Jefferson County, GA ca. 1850 came from this general area of NC. .

Karmella Most of the information I post is material I come across in my search. My main lines are Johns(t)on, Wells, Chapman. I am sorry, I can not help you. Good Luck Marta

Hello List, I am looking for resources in which I can get information about (af-amer.) Thomas and Cora KNIGHT. They were enumerated in the 1870 and 1880 census in the Sparta Township with a daughter named Maggie. Are there any -Tax lists -Voters lists -Freedmens labor contracts -Agricultural schedules -etc. For Sparta ca. 1870 - 1880? Thomas and Cora were living next door to a white man named "William Luois". Maybe Thomas was a sharecropper for this man? Any help would be greatly appreciated. ---Karmella __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Wes, When you figure it out, please let me know. These Colemans are extremely confusing!! Traci the Librarian ________________________________________________________________ From: "Wes Coleman (h)" <wcoleman@pdq.net> List, In fitting together the information in wills of Colemans in Edgecombe County (that Northern portion that became Halifax County), I have one will for Robert Coleman, Sr. that does not fit well with the rest. The rest are, I believe, descended from Robert Coleman of Nansemond County Virginia who first was deeded land in 1684 and is in the Quit Rent Roll of 1704 for Nansemond County with 1400 acres of land. But this one misfit in Edgecombe County could be from the Robert Coleman line from Amelia County Virginia. This single will shows this line: Robert Coleman, Sr. will dated Nov 13, 1806, probated in May Court of 1807, Deed Book D, p. 276. wife Mary received 2 negro girls, 20 acres of land including houses Robert had two sons listed: Charles and Robert. Charles Coleman, son of R.C., Sr. had three sons: Willie Coleman Allen Coleman Robert Coleman Robert Coleman, Jr. son of R.C., Sr. had two sons: Charles Coleman John Coleman I believe that this pair, R.C., Sr. and R.C., Jr. were probably that pair mentioned in a deed recorded in the Edgecombe County Deedbook #11, page 373, dated 1 Feb 1805, recorded in Feb Court in 1805, wherein Dempsey Barnes of Edgecombe County granted to Robert Coleman, (Sr), also of Edgecombe County for the sum of 10 pounds, a tract of land beginning at a pine in John Daws corner then running east to a water oak in a branch then north up said branch to a poplar then west to a pine in Robert Coleman's (Jr) line then south to the beginning, containing 20 acres, signed Dempsey Barnes (+), witnesses: J. Farmer, William White. (Source: Family History Center film no: 0018889 as reported in an email from Tommy Colbert, Mar. 30, 2001.) I have puzzled over the lineage of the Amelia County Colemans for a while, as it was laid out by J. P. Coleman in his book published in 1965 entitled "The Robert Coleman Family from Virginia to Texas, 1652 - 1965". I see on pages 50-52 of his work that he believes the Robert Coleman of Halifax County who relocated to Fairfield County, SC was in fact connected with the Colemans from Amelia County Virginia, who are known to have settled in Union County, SC; a neighboring county of Fairfield County. While I see no proof of this anywhere and discount it as flimsy speculation, neither can I disprove it yet. As I have pieced together from many helpful folks and sources, there would appear to be four Robert Colemans in a line from the Nansemond County Robert Coleman to his great grandson Robert Coleman. I know that another great grandson, a brother of this Robert Coleman, Kader (or Cadar) Coleman was one of the first, indeed may be the earliest known Coleman in Fairfield County, SC. So, the questions are: 1. What else is known of the above family of Robert Coleman, Sr. and Jr.? 2. Who was R.C., Sr - Where was he from, who were his parents, where exactly in Edgecombe (Halifax?) did he live? 3. Who were the offspring from R.C., Sr. in addition to those listed in his will (and given above) - what were their names, where did they live, whom did they marry, and where did they raise their families? 4. What connections if any exist between this R.C., Sr. and the Colemans of Amelia County and/or Nansemond County Virginia? It appears to me that any common ancestor for Robert Coleman of Amelia County Virginia and Robert Coleman of Nansemond County Virginia, if such exists, would be found back in Great Britain, probably/possibly in Wales. Any connection, even by marriage, is undocumented so far as I know prior to members of both lines reaching South Carolina (J.P. records such a marriage connection, pp. 374 - 5).

The name does not ring any bells, but then I have only two Landings in my data..so perhaps somewhere down the road. Thanks for thinking for me See you Tuesday Linda

Linda, The only Landing material I found in Edgecombe Co. was a will for Martha Ann Landing. I copied it because she mentioned Rebecca Savage, who got a cow and a feather bed. No relationship was stated. She did mention some people named Hyde, including a nephew, James Thomas Hyde who received some land and was executor. Also mentioned was Stephen Hyde, son of John Hyde. Have copy of will. I tried to look at the Halifax deed index on microfilm but it was pretty much illegible. Clyde

I know that it has been awhile since this was posted, but re: the Sherrod Savage, I have just located a will of Allen Savage who mentions his son Sherrod Savage. The will was written 19 April 1813 and proved May Court 1816. I believe this Allen Savage to be my Warren Savage's nephew. I think there was someone else on the list also looking for information on a Sherrod savage? Can send more details if interested. The will was proved in Edgcombe Linda Anderson In a message dated 03/16/2001 10:24:32 AM Eastern Standard Time, tracithompson@hotmail.com writes: > Hi, Linda, I am sending this message to you and others who have mentioned > >the Sherrod and Savage families recently on the Edgecombe list.

Linda, There are some Brantleys in my Halifax deeds but not Benjamin. My books stop at 1824. Traci __________________________________________________________ From: CAnder9267@aol.com Traci, I noted your message to Audrey, and was wondering if you had any deedbooks for Halifax, I am looking for information On Benjamin F. Brantley and his wife Sarah F. Gammon they were in Halifax Co and may have lived in the area close to Edgcombe. Thanks Linda Anderson Brantley, Edwards, Sherrod, Slaughter, Landing, Savage and Anderson ______________________________ Audrey, No Spiveys at all in my Halifax deed books, and not the Savages you're looking for, sorry. But, as I told Linda, my deed books also only go up to 1824, so there might be something lurking in those later ones in the dusty recesses of the Halifax county courthouse.

Paulette, I'm very sorry, but I can't. I don't have an index for the 1900 census. I hope to subscribe soon to genealogy.com, which has the 1900 census in a searchable format. So check back with me in 2-3 weeks and I might be able to help then, if no one else has done the lookup for you.
