Ed, In the first volume, which is 1744-1762, he's mentioned once. It's the recording of a deed (which often shows up in court minutes): "Deed from Joseph Dixon to Braswell Bridges proved by the Oath of Andrew Irwin." (June Court 1761.) He's mentioned once in the next book, which covers 1763-1774, a deed again: "A Deed of Sale from Braswell Bridgers to John Key proved by the Oath of Andrew Irwing, Ordered &c." This was April 1764. >Traci -- >I noticed your mention of Edgecombe Court minutes from the 1740's to >the >1780's.

There's many mentions of William Taylors in the books I have, but there's no way to tell which is yours. Sorry. I'd say if you have the first name from a will, and a date that narrow for the marriage, you're doing very well. I'd suggest you look at other families who lived near to or were connected with your Taylor family in some way as a possible family Mary could have come out of. Again unfortunately, the name Mary is soooo common that it will be very hard to figure out who she is, but I wish you the best of luck. >Traci: Would you see if there is any record in the 1740s to 1757s >Edgeombe Court Minutes on a marriage between William Taylor (known >as William Taylor of Beach Run as there were several William Taylors >at that time in that county) and a Mary.

I find a Robert mostly in the deed books, though there are some miscellaneous mentions in the court records (nothing exciting, just mentions like he served on jury duty or was overseer of a road.) A Robert Young also was the administrator of the estate of Alexander Bolton in 1741. The abstract says, "Expenses were paid to said Robert Young for the funeral, to prove the will, and to make a trip to Cape Fear, Nov. 20, 1741." A Robert is mentioned a lot in the deed books until this entry. After this, no Youngs are found until one pops back up in the late 1790s: "Robert (x) Young of Edgecombe Co. to Micajah Thomas of same. 18 Nov. 1775. 100 pounds proclamation. 422 acres which had been a Granville Grant to sd. Robert Young 8 Nov. 1755 and conveyed from said Young to sd. Whitehead 1 Jun. 1764 and from sd. Whitehead to sd. Young 17 Jun. 1769, on the north side of Pig Basket Creek or Braswells Creek. Wit: Davis Connell, John Sheppart, George Sutton. Apr. Ct. 1776." Barrineau isn't a familiar name to me.

Hi - I saw the mention of IRWIN in this post and thought I would list some information from 1820 in Burke County, GA to see if you think this IRWIN may have been an ancestor of one of these IRWINS/ERWINS. I also see you mentioned the KEY family in this message that may be relevant. District 65, 1820 Jefferson County, GA Census (this is the Keysville area of Burke County, GA and these people lived right next to each other): Daniel, Robert C Erwin, Richd. Erwin, Robt. Tarver, Saml. B. Wise, William I am interested in this Robert C. DANIEL RS-NC (about 1765-about 1830) who married Penelope LANE (1773-1846), who we think was a daughter of John LANE and Mary "Polly" SHEPPARD of Duplin County, NC. We know that a Penelope DANIEL of Warren County, GA filed as a widow in the 1827 Georgia Land Lottery and the obit published by the Southern Christian Advocate (ME publication) for a Penelope DANIEL in 1846 submitted by the Brothersville Methodist Church in Hephzibah, Richmond County, GA said this obit stated she was the widow of Robert DANIEL of Burke County, GA. This obit also stated she and Robert moved to Burke County, GA in 1812 from NC. Not much is know about Robert ERWIN/IRWIN or William WISE but we know Nancy DANIEL (b, about 1799), daughter of this Robert and Penelope, married a Richard ERWIN as her first husband and a Frederick WISE, as her second husband before 1830. We also know her sister, Sarah DANIEL (b. about 1800) married Thomas C. WISE before 1830. The Samuel B. TARVER, listed in this census, is the son of Samuel TARVER, III (1738-1802) and Celia JORDAN (1739-1819). We know that Samuel TARVER, III was originally from Surry County, VA and this TARVER family moved to Richmond County, GA by 1800. We have no additional information on either the WISE or ERWIN/IRWIN family, although the WISE family may be related to the William WISE family of Screven County, GA, but that is just a guess on our part. The know names children in this combined DANIEL and WISE (Frederick and Thomas C. WISE) family are: Council D. WISE, Sara Catherine, Thomas, Chesley S., James F., Nancy Frederick and Erwin WISE. Nancy DANIEL had one daughter by Richard IRWIN, Elizabeth A. IRWIN (b. 1834) and she married Robert VALLOTTON about 1855. The best information tends to indicate this Robert C. DANIEL may be a son of James DANIEL and Hannah ROBASON of Edgecombe and Martin County, NC. The ROBASON family was originally from Reading, PA and they were involved in the metallurgical business, which was a business that Robert C. DANIEL of Burke also seems to have been involved in.. Information on this Robert C. DANIEL points in two, sometimes opposite, directions. One, they are descendents of Capt. Robert Lanier DANIEL of Martin County, NC (or) they are descendents of Chesley DANIEL and Judith Woodson CHRISTIAN of Granville County, NC. There is some mention they are descendents of a David DANIEL of Elbert County, GA but this is not substantiated. I also feel they are related to William DANIEL and Lucretia BELL of Edgefield County, SC in some manner but that is just an opinion. Known DANIEL collateral families in Richmond, Burke and Jefferson County, GA are: TARVER, MURPHEY, WISE and IRWIN/ERWIN. If you have any information on any of these families I would like to hear from you. John R.
