A special welcome to Cindy who just joined Greene and Lenoir today. Cindy is one of the three founders of the new Historic Preservation Group - Jane and Pat are already members of long standing as is Tracy who is on the board and serves as the webmaster. Cindy is not a native of Lenoir but has lived in Kinston for many years. Given her assocation in Sampson and Bladen, without question she has some Dobbs families in her background. Jane, Pat, and Cindy stayed with me last weekend in order to attend a meeting on the Lenoir Battlefields which was very successful and we had a great time. Soon as they catch their breath, Jane is going to give us an update but they have grant applications to be done with a deadline. Martha

Eric, I pretty well sarched the area, there were some old wooden markers, or the remains of such located behind the marker for the Hartsfield family. The Stone for the Family was fairly new (meaning not a hundred yeards old) Tracy ----Original Message Follows---- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] CC: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NCLENOIR] Hill/Jones/Hartsfield family cemetery Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2002 21:18:16 EST Tracy, I am very interested in this cemetery.

Billy sent this note in another email. Martha, regarding your email re: Baltimore County, MD. I found a will and made a copy (which I can't find now) for Richard COWARD, made out I think in 1726/1727. A witness was Charles MARKLAND, who I suspect is the father of the Dobbs county MARKLAND. Charles Sr. married Mary COWARD so that may be a strong link to your Eastern NC COWARD family. I will find the will, scan it (once I load the drivers on the new PC) and send it on. Ruth and I tried to connect the William and Edward Coward families in Bertie and Dobbs and couldn't. THe older William in Bertie stayed and died there. THere is one small hint that William of Dobbs was the son of a William but we could find only one mention of him. Maybe he was out of Baltimore Co Martha

Most of you are aware that Bill Murphy abstracted the surviving Greene Co Estate Records but those books are no longer available and can't be posted. Sharon has agreed to re-do them from the microfilm for posting. Won't be an index unless someone on the list knows how to index and would be willing to do it but the information will be invaluable. Main reason this is being mentioned this early is to make sure no one else is already doing this. Sharon has just discovered another new project and she is waiting to hear back from Billy after his trip to NARA today if it is worth the purchase of the microfilm. If so, she will do that first. She also might be moving soon which will hold this up but it will get done sooner or later. We are much indebted to Sharon for volunteering for these projects. The re-registered deeds that Bill did also need to be done plus the others he said were available but he did not get published. Martha

She is buried on the old Edwards farm, Bullhead Twnshp., Apple Tree Rd.. She purchased land from Gary Edmundson in 1851 and from Abraham D. Swinson in 1855, where she is now buried. She had three children: Piercy (b. 5-20-1843, d.3-5-1925), Rebecca (b.ca.1845), and William Henry (b. 12-26-47,d. 9-11-1890). I am specifically looking for her husbands name. He is not listed in the 1850 census. I believe that his name may have been William Henry Edwards, Sr. and was called Henry, but I have no proof.

>From: [email protected] >Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2002 13:07:22 EST > >Martha, >I read the article Using others Work, in Rootsweb Digest and again in your >Lenoir Digest. While I agree in principle, I don't agree in practice. Most people use other people's information at one time or another - I do; however, I do try to give credit as to where it came from. Other than Ima's database, for the most part, I have not put anything on my database that is not backed up or at least circumstantial evidence. Even with her information, have tried, when possible, to find something to back it up. Like most people, I use abstracts heavily but that is also dangerous because 4 people doing an abstract of the same instrument will come up with 4 different abstracts. I have certainly made many errors in abstracting the Collections. Like you, I don't have time or access to the originals. >What I do instead is to give credit in my notes to the person who shared >their data with me. To me, that is extremely important. >In my opinion the single most important purpose in our Genealogical research >is to get it right. Amen, easier said that done especially in burned counties. When I first started this passion, Ima sat me down with a few jewels of wisdom. What she did NOT do was tell me how to go about finding primary information - said I would learn more by trial and error. Maybe, but it cost me about two years. What she DID hammer into my head was - NEVER trust someone else's information - abstracts, conclusions etc. I make it a habit of telling people to backtrack on me - they might find something I missed or drew the wrong conclusion on. I think the biggest problem is so many new people take what they find, especially on the internet as the truth and never backtrack on it. That is how bad information gets spread around so much. You have been at this long enough to be cautious but a lot of new people haven't. Now, when you find my Hart line, let me know. Going from Nansemond to Hertford to Greene does not give much hope.

According to Haun, there is no date on that transaction although it is probably 1733. I skipped the microfilm for Book 1 and started with Book 2. He must have lived in town for awhile because we don't see a patent for him until 1748. Thanks.

Craven co, NC reference showing Abraham Taylor probably moved in 1733. Abraham Taylor of Baltimore, MD bought lot #41 joining William Hancock's back line in New Bern, NC 1733, p. 267 [Craven county, North Carolina Deed Book 1, 1730-1762, FHL film 18638] Judi Hansen [email protected]
In Baltimore County, Md I saw the following surnames that also appear in early Craven and Dobbs Co I noticed the following surnames that appear in Craven, Dobbs or Jones - Rhodes (William, Richard, Benjamin), Foy, Howard, Pettis Abraham Taylor who had a will in Johnston Co (now LEnoir, maybe) lived in that area of Baltimore Co called Joppa. That is interesting since that is where Richard Caswell came from. Exactly where Abraham's land would be found today is a little uncertain because Gloria and I can't get a handle on South West Creek. Certainly some of it was in todays Lenoir but some may have been in Craven and Jones. In any event, we had seen the exact birthdates of Abraham's children but no documentation and found it yesterday in the Parish Records. It is not clear who Abraham's father was but probably Abraham Sr who was a vestryman at St. John's Parish. It has been said that Isaac Taylor who had a large family in Lenoir and Greene was a grandson of old Abraham but no proof. The information we found did give a son Isaac with a specific birthdate. That was not found in the vestry records but the index obviously missed a bunch of entries and going through it page by page would probably turn up Isaac as a son. Prudence did not have an entry as she was born after they moved to NC but she is remembered in her father's will. Isaac was not, indicating he had already died without heirs. Abraham had a 2nd wife in his will. Gloria and Martha Abraham was a vestryman at St. John's which was originally Copley Parish in 1693 - ST. JOHN'S AND ST. GEORGE'S PARISH REGISTER - 1696 - 1851 - by Henry C. Peden, Jr. Abraham Taylor and Dinna White were married 20 ____ - the other people on this page were married 1712 - 1714 Jacob son of Abraham and Diana - b 5 Oct 1714 Robert son of Abraham and Diana - 13 Oct ____ Ann daughter of Abraham and Diana b 29 March 1712 Rachell daughter of Abraham and Diana b 9 Oct 1717 Joseph son of Abraham and Diana b 20 Oct 1720 Jacob son of Abraham and Diana - b 6 Oct 1713 (sic) Joseph son of Abraham and Dinal b 19 Oct 1720 (sic) Prudence was not listed unless she was not in the index and there are a number of people not indexed so I noticed. Abraham Taylor Sr died 20 July 1719 MARYLAND CALENDAR OF WILLS Abraham Taylor - written 1717 - pr 6 Aug 1719 - Baltimore Co - son John executor - 100 acres (Ayes) Addition, sons Abraham and John and daughter Lettice Dottrage (she married WIlliam also spelled Doddridge In addition there was a John on the records with two wives - Judith who had several children and then died and Rachel York. John and Judith had a son Abraham so this was probably the son of the older Abraham.
Hope those of you "socked" in today down south enjoy it. Good excuse to catch up on your research. This was in the new ROOTSWEB Review as a reminder. Few researchers mind sharing but we do like credit for our years of work. Martha USING OTHERS' WORK By Linda Valentine [email protected] I think it is again time to remind Internet users to put ONLY data on their Web pages and personal charts AFTER they have documented for themselves, and after they have approval from the persons that they obtained it from! I have found my material on all of the genealogy sites in some form or other. Some of my material was given in partial, but it was still used. Some was given more fully and it was used or misstated, and misentered. In all the cases, it was just blatantly copied. So the high percentage of Internet users (as per an Ancestry.com recent poll) could indicate that there are many who simply GATHER from others, and the Internet is the quickest way to gather! Merely copying someone else's work should not make us proud. Knowing that the information is actually documented, and finding it one's self is really what should make us proud to say "I've traced my family back to _______ (fill in the blank).
Guy is still working on the cemeteries - they will be up before the night is over. Happy New Year.
Evelyn has sent numerous Greene cemeteries for posting that she has visited over the years. Guy said about 15. Thank you so much Evelyn - they are a great asset!!! And thanks to Guy for posting. I have checked out a couple of them already and will do the rest. Martha
The last text file of the Industrial Issue of the Free Press was posted tonight on the archives!!!! Many thanks to all the people who did the typing and to Guy for the re-formatting and posting. This was a great undertaking. We look forward to Patty getting the rest of the pictures posted on Dobbers. Martha
