Could anyone tell me who Roger Jones that I see in the deeds of Franklin Co. ca 1779 is and to what family he belongs to. Thanks for your help. Becky Jones Pacey

I truly believe that sharing, the internet and teamwork, will all save a lot of time and effort in solving our genealogical mysteries. Here are some contributions I received last night, now posted at the Project. If you find the Project pages helpful, please consider donating a transcription or item, if not to the project, then to your USGenWeb Archives County page of interest to you. -Mark http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~freshnup/markmurph/ Murphys & others in "Isle of Wight Wills and Administrations", 1935 by Blanche Chapman; thank you Elaine Young!

State Road is located on Highway 21 just inside Surry County almost on theWilkes County line. Incidentally my grandmother's family lived in that area - Richard Walters(1819/1882) md. Rebecca Rice(1824/1885) Children were William Granville Walters, Martha Ann Walters, Elizabeth Walters(my grandmother), and Robert Walters. Any connection with the families you are researching?

I believe Shelby is in Cleveland County now. Taylorsville is now in Alexander County. State Road appears to be near Winston-Salem.

Hi Mark, I too would be very interested. You've done such a terrific job with your site that I'm sure you would do an equally incredible job with Poplar Springs Baptist Church. I'm looking forward to it. Audrey Orlando, FL > How much interest would there be in a transcription of the records of > the Poplar Springs Baptist Church, 1788-1877 in Franklin Co. NC?

Mark, I think that would be fabulous. The fifty years of records from the Pigeon Creek Baptist Church in Cocke Co. TN were some of the most fascinating records I have ever read. (They consist of some fifty pages, downloaded if anyone would like to look them up.) Who would have thought church minutes could be so entertaining? There were the usual church squabbles, members being called to answer for their habit of racing horses, drinking, gambling, adultery, and the threatened excommunication of a member who was attempting to declare bankruptcy. There is even a record of a delegation of the good ladies of the church being sent to visit a local woman who was running a house of ill repute. (This is funny stuff). One of the saddest was about a man who the church sent some distance to get a wagon load of salt. The following month he was called on the carpet for having done it on a Sunday! It outlined fifty years of vice, community needs, and everyday concerns, but at length, the minutes became rather poignant. Although there's no mention of the Civil War, as it approached, the squabbles ceased, the mundane was set aside, as the minutes documented only of a good deal of singing and praying. I will look for the minutes of the Poplar Springs Baptist Church with greatest anticipation. Hope you go for it, Mark.

How much interest would there be in a transcription of the records of the Poplar Springs Baptist Church, 1788-1877 in Franklin Co. NC? I might write my first book, if it hasnt' been done before. -- Mark A. Murphy
