I'm looking for a Happy Shaw born about 1795 and married to John Upchurch in 1815 in Chatham County, NC. Happy may have had a brother Benjamin Shaw and Greenberry Shaw. I'm interested in any information regarding the Shaw family in Guilford County. Thanks very much. Tim Ferrier

Louise, I had a book in my hands just this last weekend at our local library that listed the KNOWN graves at the Buffalo Presbyterian Church Cemetery, so, yes, there is something in print. Most of the graves that I saw listed dated from the mid-1800's. But, I was disappointed to learn that many of the very early graves have been "lost" (markers destroyed, vandalized, etc., or the markers were of fieldstone and did not weather the years). In the book it explained that at one point early in this century, the decision was made to "clean out" all the old stones, and they were merely dumped over the cemetery wall. Apparently in the early days there was no organization to the burials; anyone could bury a relative wherever they wanted within the cemetery. If I read correctly, this lack of organization means that the church did not keep a master map or plot of the graves. And so it all comes down to the fact that if the marker was not readable when the cemetery survey was taken, then the grave is lost. I think two of my ancestors and their families fell into this void. Maybe, though, you will be luckier.

Hi Everyone, In Feb., 1999, Louise Overton was kind enough to send to us Apparentice Bonds in Guilford Co. In the #3 posting was the following (I'll just send partial): pg. 284 Feb. Term, 1804 Abigal PAREY, an orphan aged 13 years the 16th of June next, be bound to David WOODBORN until full age ........" Does anyone have any further information on these families? Would like to know which PAREY (PERRY? PAVEY?) family this was, and also would like to know more about the WOODBORNs. in general. Thanks. Marsha McWilliams

Hi List Members, Another Shoemaker researcher has sent me an electronic scan of an article describing the 250th anniversary of Friedans Church in Gibsonville. The celebration included a reenactment of the execution of a Jacob Schumacher. The explanation of the legend differed greatly from those previously published by either Schenck or Hughes. I very much want to contact the author of this article, which apparently was printed in the Times-News. Can someone send me the address for this paper? Thanks very much, Dave Shoemaker

--------- Begin forwarded message ---------- From: JanPax@aol.com Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 22:19:30 EDT M I received several replies after forwarding the warning about resetting the date on your computer to make it Y2K compliant, among these was the following very sensible advice: Subj: Important Y2K Information - Read Now! Several people have identified one of the so-called Y2K problems, namely the problem with date sorting. I have got round this problem by creating a year field by giving it a *text* definition and not a *date* definition. As far as Excel is concerned there is a set of 3 *patches*, ie Datewatch, Date Wizard and Date Migrate which have work-arounds for this problem. I obtained mine from a PCPro magazine cover CD who appear to release various *patches* every other month. They are also be available from the Microsoft Technet site below. It should also be borne in mind that NEITHER Windows 95 nor Windows 98 are Year 2000 compliant without the appropriate *patches* being downloaded from the same site. In their unmodified form Microsoft says they are, *Compliant with Minor Issues* - but do check the extent of the minor issues! In my opinion the Microsoft Technet site is one of the most up-front of any software manufacturer and any of you using Windows-driven PCs would be well advised to pay this site a visit - now! http://www.microsoft.com/technet/year2k/ Do remember that for your PC to be Year 2000 compliant it must have: * compliant hardware (internal clock/BIOS) * compliant operating system (patches required) * compliant software (particularly if date orientated, ie databases and spreadsheets) Simply changing the date format from 2 digits to 4 will NOT make your PC Y2K compliant! (Although it is sensible to use 4 digits for years instead of two). There are several downloadable programs to check whether your PC will handle the year 2000/leap year dates, but do remember the majority of these do so in the DOS environment, so re-set your PC back to the current date BEFORE starting Windows, as you risk screwing up your system if your machine fails the test(s). You could also lose functionality of software you are using on an evaluation basis (try this free for 30 days!) if the date is not re-set. Apple Mac users may not be able to use the LDS 1881 Census CDs, but they won't have Y2K problems either! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ After reading the foregoing, I looked at the site mentioned. It's true that it contains much info regarding the upcoming Y2K problems. I would certainly recommend that everyone look at the site. However, for us lazy ones, I copied the following from the Microsoft site: "•Logic built into the Windows® 98 operating system will automatically set the date forward at boot time if the BIOS does not roll over the RTC to 2000. The system will not automatically compensate for a BIOS that changes valid dates. Users of Windows 95, Windows 3.x and MS-DOS version 5.x or later can address most rollover errors by simply resetting the date in Control Panel or by using the DATE command in MS-DOS." So it looks to me like it's just a matter of resetting on January 1, 2000. However, I could be wrong. I do think this is a problem which needs to be addressed before Dec. 31, 1999. After all, we have all become very reliant on our computers, with their ability to exchange information so quickly.

I have a Sarah Hoag who was married July 20, 1729 in Nantucket, Mass. to Richard Worth. I also have several Thomas Barnards, many of them without names of spouses. Do you have a more accurate date?

I want to thank everyone for the discussion of the Quakers and Nicolites in Guilford County. I checked all the records in the Henshaw books and my Willis Wright who is on the census of Guilford 1790, 1800 and 1810 is not there. So, I assume he was not a Quaker. Were there many churches in Guilford by 1790? Gem
