Dear Listers, I am trying to find some evidence as to where my great Grandfather George Acrile Savage was born. I know that his parents James H. Savage (d. @1810 said to be of Surry co, Va) and Catherine Barfield married in Tarboro, Edgecomb co in Aug 1834 and George Acrile Savage was born to James and "Kate" on 23 Aug 1846. (also don't have proof of any siblings names). George married Sara E. Phillips 20 Dec 1866 in Enfield, Halifax co, 2nd marr. to catherine Savannah Robbins also in Enfield and he died in Roanoke Rapids 31 May 1916. (George had a cotton farn in Enfield but lost that farm to debtors during a bad drought year. He was also a soldier in the civil war but mustered out of Richmond, Va??) ((one of George and Sara's children, Bettie May Savage married my great grandfather, Stephen Shadrack Spivey who's parents were John W. Spivey and Mary Ann Margaret Soursby. My Spivey's also lived in Halifax and prior to that in Northampton)) All this what county was formed when stuff is quite confusing. Halifax was part of Edgecomb at one tine? Were they both part of Northampton at one time? Any help would be most appreciated! Audrey Orlando, FL

Some of the names you have mentioned, I have see quite a bit on the Bertie County list. You might try for information there as well. The two counties are relatively close.
