The family name is FELT, with death dates for 18 people, all named Felt except two (Nichols and Pitt) The earliest death date is for Louisa Felt who died Sept.4,1809 - and the latest record is for Charles Henry Felt, who died Dec.7, 1916. There are no lists of births or marriages and only two baptism records Pitt Felt and DeWitt Felt, both baptised on June 1, 1849. This Bible needs to go home.

This is my first message to the list. I'm looking for the DRAKE and GREGORY connection to the RICEs of Guilford Co., NC ca 1810 to 1840. Simon Drake married Patience Gregory in 1817 in Wake Co. They were listed on a family group sheet submitted for baptism for the Rices at the Manti Temple in Utah, but no explanation why. Thomas Pritchett submitted the names and they were baptized in 1954.

Seeking information on Byrd W Johnson (1839-1926) and wife Martha F HIGHFILL (1858-1928). They are buried at Stokesdale, Guilford Co, NC. They had at least one son who lived to adulthood, Cornelius (1871-1949) who married Hannah Franklin MOORE (1871-1947). Cornelius and Hannah lived in Stokesdale and then Greensboro. Any information on this family would be appreciated. Thanks.

We have quite a lot of orphan PACE and WALLs! This may still be a coincidence, but here goes: In northern Randolph County, Samuel WALL bought 100 and 150 acres in 1805 from Thomas SULLIVAN. In 1818, he also bought 100 acres from William CLARK, who apparently got this land from the Samuel CLARK estate in 1785. The Thomas Sullivan tracts apparently were originally John RYAN's who sold it to William CLARK before it passed to Thomas SULLIVAN according to the scribbled notes I have from the late James W. Pickard's WALL notes. He probably got his data directly from the court records, as he has some good physical descriptions here: - the Thomas Sullivan tracts were on Dougan CLARK's line. Dougan CLARK was a well known Quaker minister who was raised as a Methodist. His father was William Clark. Dougan CLARK was coexecutor of Samuel WALL's will when Samuel WALL died in 1823. Samuel's wife Mary _____ was also executor. Possibly this Mary was Mary Elener WATSON, who married Samuel WALL in 1785 in Wake County, NC. Dougan CLARK was the son of William Clarke. Data is attached at the end of this note. - the William CLARK tract sold to Samuel WALL was on Thomas HINSHAW's line. William CLARK's farm was on Muddy Creek but apparently some was also on Deep River. And Samuel WALL is of course, listed on the 1815 and 1820 Tax List with 350 acres on Deep River in each tax list. He is listed without a poll in 1815, so he was over age 50 (probably 51 or older). This would make his age consistent with the Samuel WALL who was listed in Wake County in 1790 and 1800. The Samuel WALL farm bordered Deep River.His son Britten WALL's land was on West Caraway Creek. I have not been able to locate this creek on the map. There was a Little Caraway Creek shown on the 1815 tax list, to the west of Caraway Creek and this may be the same as West Caraway Creek. I made copies of all the court records past 1835 for this WALL family, but they are exceedingly difficult to read and transcribe so it will take a long time to work on this and figure it out. I have asked a family member for help with the 1815 map since he had done a lot of work plotting out the land ownerships for a different but closely related family. Per the Randolph Co. NC Genealogical Journal, Fall 1998, p. 7, I find the following: William CLARKE, captain during the Revolutionary war, b. 1753 d. 21 Jul 1836, one of 7 sons of Samuel CLARKE, a slaveowning Presbytarian on Muddy Creek (a tributuary of Deep River) above BELL's Mill in Randolph Co. Fought David FANNING's militia during war. He became Quaker after war. Joined Back Creek MM in 1800, became an overseer. Later associated with Marlboro MM. Married Eleanor DOUGAN (1759-1839), sister of Col. Thomas DOUGAN. Ten children: 1. Infant, died due to exposure while mother fleeing from FANNING's revenge. 2. Jane CLARKE, b 9 Sep 1781, m. Benjamin SANDERS. 3. Dougan CLARKE, (b. 3 Oct 1783 d. 23 Aug 1855) m. 1. Nancy WELBORN (1807) 2. Asenath HUNT (1823). 4.

I want to thank everyone who responded to my lookup request for Harmon Williams and Elizabeth Fortune's marriage bond. A couple of these responses have only created more questions. A couple of people said in the 1830 census, there is Harman, Curtis, Harmon, Jacob. I am not pulling these names on the sites I have available. Could someone now please tell me what pages these people are on in that census so that when I finally make it to the library, I can look them up? Thanks, Linda lindave@bright.net

Eleanor, On 18 Oct. 1841 EDNEY PACE was married to THOMAS OZMENT JR in Guilford Co., NC (Record 046, 02, 333), Bondsman John C. Kenedy. I believe she may have been another of my orphan Paces in Guilford, as an EDY PACE, female orphan, age 13 on 6-21-1841 (thus b. 1828) was apprenticed in Guilford Co. to David C. Sullivan 8-18-1841, being promised a wheel & cards worth $6 at "full age." Granted this may not be the same person as she would have married shortly after her apprentice bond, while still 13 years of age. I don't, however, think this is unheard of.
