11/27/98 I am interested in this list, because one of my cousins thinks our ancestor came from Granville County. We have always listed his birth as Rowan County, NC, b. July 13, 1798. His name is JOHN HUNT, and his family apparently moved to Tennessse shortly after his birth. First mention we find of him in TE as an adult is 1916, married Elizabeth Jane Moore in Wilson County TN.. Eizabeth was born in Va. Bondsman on the marriage bond was Overton Harlow, also born in Va. John may have been John THOMAS Hunt. We cannot find his parents, and so are looking for them on the Rowan County list. Think his father could have been Gersham Hunt.Any hints very welcome!! Pat

Hi, again Fellow Researchers, Are any of you out there searching for information on Walker or Taylor families that might have resided in Granville County between 1760 and 1825. Mary Ann Brown, and I are interested in John and Nancy (Nancey) Garner Walker. I am also very interested in a Nelly Walker who married James Cash in Granville County on November 27, 1807. James was son of Joseph Cash Jr. born in 1787, but what family did Nelly Walker belong to? TIA I am also looking for information on Nancy Perry daughter of Solomon Perry who married John Garner in Granville County in 1820.

After posting some of my surnames I realized I left out a few of my most perplexing and mysterious. Has anybody out there doing research in Granville ever come across the surname CROWEY. I am at a dead end with this name It is not in GENDEX, or GenForum, the FTM world family tree, my G.W. Crowey and one other family in New York. Garner family history relates that a foundling child was "left on the proverbial door step" and taken in by John GARNER and Susannah HALL GARNER and named George Washington "Wash" Crowey, in later years he was known as G.W. Crowey. Now how they new this baby left on the door step was named Crowey is beyond me, unless his mother pinned a note to his little blanket. G.W. "Wash" Crowey was born in Granville County in 1812 and remained with the Garners until adulthood, he was named in John Garner's will as an heir to the estate. G.W. Crowey married Jane Edington in Tennessee or possibly Missouri and they eventually migrated to Napa Co. CA. (1852). TIA ....

Am searching for any information on this James Denby below: 1760, March 14, - Granville Co., NC (1501 - pg. 347) James Denby patented 640 acres in the Parish of St. John on the branches of Cypress Swamp, joining Ratleys line, Brinkleys old line and Simmons line. (This was part that later became Bute and then Franklin Co, NC) Witnesses: John Hawkins and Will Johnson - surveyed April 3, 1758 SCC: William Edwards Surveyor: Sher Haywood By l766 James DENBY APPEARS in Bute Co, NC and later in Franklin Co,NC. Really need to know who he married. I know that it was Patience? and would probably have been mid to late l750's.Also need to know his brothers and sisters. I have info on his children and more than willing to share!!!! Would like to hear from any DENBYS of this area--l835 or before. ------ Also researching a Jacob Jones born about l729 probably Nansemond Co, VA and died l8l8 Franklin Co,NC.

I have been a member of the Wilson County list since the day it started, it is a very active list with a lot of very helpful members. I discovered, as I had suspected that many families that settled in Wilson County TN after 1800 migrated from Granville County NC. One of the reasons I wanted to activate the Granville County list, was that I thought their was a gap in the possible information chain. As time goes on I seem to find more and more connections to Granville County. I hope there is some one out there who can help Pat.
