If you don't live in the area, you need to make a trip down. Ima Mewborn had extensive information on these lines and assume that information is now at Heritage Place in Kinston. In addition, Bill Murphy worked with her on these lines and his Collection is at ECU in Greenville. Several people on this list work these families but not sure how many of them take the lines this far forward. You might need to go to the Census records and find the line back to where you can link up. There is a lot of Ivey information on Old Dobbers - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~paday/dobbers/index.htm Joint Surname Projects as I recall. You might want to contact Bob who submitted the information.
