To the person looking for info on Reuben Searcy, Have you checked the Granville County US Genweb Site at Rootsweb? I posted some Records several months ago, and this was among the entries under Bastardy Bonds: Sept.5, 1750- Elizabeth Searcy, charged Richard Hargrove with having begotten by her a bastard child. He is ordered to pay the Church warders of St. John's Parish 4 pounds proc. For maintainance of the child 1 year next ensuing. Sept. 5, 1754 - William, base born child of Elizabeth Searcy, bound to Reuben Searcy, to learn Shoemaker's trade. Will be 5 yrs old on April 30, 1754. I don't know if there is more info at the site, but it is well worth a visit to check out some of the data. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncgranvi/new.htm Deloris Williams
