Check with the discussion list on this. My Armstrong line is from Co. Tyrone, Ireland near Camus, and had nothing to do with Guilford County. The name Clearwater is not familiar to me, but one wonders if it was an Indian name. I have been primarily interested in southern Guilford County and Northern Randolph county, NC and have never seen Armstrong nor Clearwater in either place. The records are pretty decent - check with the List. Subscribe to the following address: ncguilfo-l-request@rootsweb.com and then send your post to ncguilfo-l@rootsweb.com asking for a volunteer lookup. - Regards, Tim ASKIN2SP@aol.com wrote: > <snip> > I am looking for the gravesite of > Elizabeth Armstrong Clearwater in the Quaker burials grounds of Guilford Co. > She died between 1790-1800.

Hello, I am looking for a "Mr. GRAVES" who is Black and has a wife named Louisa, and possibly a child named Mary. Mr. Graves and Louisa lived in Greensboro in 1890. Louisa lived in Greensboro in 1870. 1870 census index pg. 102 has a Madison GRAVES. Is there someone on the list who has this census who would check this entry for me? Thanks very much.

Hi Vickie, I can find no connections at present. I had just taken a break from trimming the tree when I read your posting, I have to do some digging and let you know if I come up with a connection.

Hi-- I offered on the Rowan Co. list to lookup will abstracts, then I added taxes. I had so many requests, I decided it was a real need, so, I now extend my offer to search all of NC as contained in the following books: "Abstract of NC Wills compiled from Original & Recorded Wills in The Office of the Secretary of State", by J. Bryan Grumes, 1910, reprint 1980 "An Abstract of NC Wills From About 1760 to about 1800, Supplementing Grimes' Abstract of NC Wills 1663 to 1760", by Fred A. Olds, 1925, reprint 1983. Abstracts of Wills Recorded in Orange Co., NC 1752-1800 ... & 1800-1850", by Ruth Herndon Shields, 1957, reprint 1979. "North Carolina Taxpayers 1701-1786", by Clarence E. Ratcliff, 1984 If you're going to request a lookup, please take note of this full information on the books, as I will only refer to them by partial title or author in my answers. Be as specific as you can in your request. It will help me help you. In Olds, I will only check 1 or 2 counties. It is not indexed, but is grouped by alpha under each county that was formed prior to 1800. There is nothing after 1800 in any of these books.

Beth, Don't know if this is connected or not, but, there was a Daniel PAYNE/PAIN associated with the Nicolites (ca. 1760-1800) on the Eastern Shore. Many of these Nicolites migrated (by ca. 1800) to Guilford Co, NC and mainly lived near Jamestown on Deep River. I think I may have a little on these Paynes and will check for you.

HIs middle name I beleive perhaps represents his mothers maiden name and I'm hopeing it may ring a bell with someone. Beth Roberts

Hi Everyone, I'm researching a Daniel Luther Payne Roberts bn June 1830 in Guilford Co North Carolina. The record used to determine his place of birth was his CSA discharge. He married in Union Co GA in 1860. He served in a TN unit during the Civil War and was discharded in Knoxville. He lived a short time in MO then left there to live in Boone Co AR where he appears in the 1880 Census. He moves before the 1900 census to Crawford Co AR where he dies. HIs middle name I beleive perhaps represents his mothers maiden name and I'm hopeing it may ring a bell with someone. Thanks Beth Roberts
