Also, YANCEY fits into my surnames twice--The older sister of my great-great-great-great-great grandfather married Bartlett Yancey, Sr. and had 10 children. The youngest of these was the famed solicitor and politician Bartlett Yancey, Jr. Also, Alexis Howard, my great-great-great-great grandfather, was a grandson of the Reverend Hugh McAden. A few generations down the line, Graves married McAdens as did some Yanceys.

I am researching this surname from Granville county: HOWARD. This group of Howards married into my group of Howards who resided in Caswell county--this was in the mid to late 1800's. Other names associated with both are: GRAVES, SETTLE, CRUDUP, WILLIAMS, WILLIAMSON, LEA, HERNDON, and others. Pat Hansen

Many families from Granville Co., NC came to Elbert Co., GA receiving Land Grants for their service in the Revolutionary War. I am searching for any information on James E. Anderson, b. 1788 in NC and came to Elbert Co., GA married Elizabeth Mobley, b. 1798, in Fairfield Co., SC. Some families of Ellsberry/ Elsbury came at the same time. James E. Anderson named his son Joseph Ellsberry Anderson. Is anyone searching Anderson & Ellsberry families? Frances Hall

You wrote: Researching the Rev. Mr. Henry Pattillo who served Presbyterian congregations at Nutbush and Grassy Creek from about 1778 until his death in 1801. I'm especially interested in the ancestry of his wife, Mary "Milly" Pattillo nee Anderson. Lila Niemann Garner Seward County, Nebraska Volunteer, Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness: http://www.raogk.org/ Dear Lila: Do a www.google.com search for *Henry Pattillo* Put the entire name in quotation marks. About the 3rd hit on google will pertain to your man Pattillo. Whether it says anything about his wife, I have not determined. (Ordinarily I hate roll calls. Searchers just plop down names, and do not give the decade, nor even the century when these people were alive. Granville Co. has been around since about 1746 or so, and a lot of people moved on. For instance, my ancestor went to Henderson Co., KY ca 1805, and a lot of other Granville Co. names show up in that county and other Kentucky counties at an even earlier date. Another couple of my families from Granville Co. went to Georgia after the Revolution--cheap (or free) land!!!) Happy hunting! E.W.Wallace who has two distinct lines in Granville Co. but such common names will provoke MUCH mail so I will not join the roll call!! PS If you want to know about some recently published books about colonial and early Federal records of Granville Co., e-mail me back.

Please remember, however, that the list administrator is the person who has to deal with bouncing e-mail messages from subscribers who've changed addresses or overfilled their mailboxes. On a small list this isn't a big problem, but a roll call on a list with a lot of subscribers can cause a flurry of activity that may not be welcome at a particular time. As an administrator of several lists myself (albeit not this one), I would prefer that readers write me privately to suggest a roll call and then let me initiate it at a time when I will be able to handle the increased volume of mail. You can reach the administrator of any rootsweb list by sending a message to [name of list]-admin@.rootsweb.com So for this list, the address would be NCGRANVI-admin@.rootsweb.com Regarding Carla's other suggestions, you are always free to post queries or information about families that you are researching. If you're new to a list, by all means post a message to introduce yourself. Or if you're a veteran, post a message from time to time with a query or new data. Interested readers will probably respond. You don't need a roll call to that. -- Elizabeth Harris ncgen@mindspring.com NCGenWeb project: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncgenweb/ Winston-Salem NC area genealogy: http://www.fmoran.com/

May I be so bold as to voice an opinion since I am a subscriber? The idea behind roll calls is to share information - which is also the point of this list. I do not find it totally useless for someone to simply post "researching Davis line". If I'm *that* interested, I'll simply write the poster asking more questions about the ins and outs of their Davis line. I may not learn anything, but I just might make a new friend. Besides, my Davis line has been in Granville County since the early 1700s, so just about any time frame would fit my needs. It may be more helpful for some if more information is posted initially, but part of being a good genealogist is in the follow up and the tenacity. Not enough information in a post? Doesn't bother me a bit to dig a little. As for the list admin being the only one who can post a roll call, I'll certainly do my best to adhere to the rules of the group. However...I think it is a silly rule and it is counter productive. Why should the admin be the only one who can do this? Suppose a new subscriber has logged on and is curious about who every one else is researching? Must they wait months or possibly longer for the admin to post a roll call? Suppose a veteran subscriber has recently discovered a new line, and is just itching to connect with other researchers? I enjoy this list and I love Granville County. Let's share!

Good way to start the new year ........I am looking for the surnames of Crump....1700's and early 1800's also Cantrell same time period, Johnson and Howard.....Groves Howard, Benjamin Johnson and the Harp families, same time period....I think a roll call every once in awhile is a good idea, it gets people motivated again.........after 911 I noticed a lot of people have really stopped doing genealogy and it may also be from rates of documents are so high...Happy new year to all Sandy Wainwright California
