Has anyone heard of Dougan CLARK Sr. or his son, Dougan CLARK Jr.? I would like to know more about him and his ancestors. He apparently was a Quaker minister who lived in North Carolina during the 1780s to 1820s, was descended from the Dougan line of Chester Co. PA and lived in Wayne County, IN. My ancestor, Samuel WALL, named him as one of the two executors of his will, the other being his "beloved Wife, Mary." Who may or may not be a CLARK too; I think Dougan Sr. did have sisters named Mary, Margaret, and Rachel and maybe a Sarah.

Hi Listers, Does anyone know what newspaper served Guilford County in 1830. Need to find a death notice for William LEWIS between Oct. 1830 and Feb. 1831. Also interested in finding death notice for Courtney LEWIS Wooters, d. 12 Apr. 1880 Guilford Co. Are obits this far back on line? Does the Greensboro News and Record have them in their morgue, or would I have to go to Raleigh? Thanks for any help-- Alicia Fox

I wish someone could find old Civil War newspapers and put those on line. I'll bet many of us would find relatives mentioned for heroics, wounds, furloughs, and deaths. Plus the activities of the folks who stayed back home. I wonder if these Civil War newspapers still exist.

I don't know how you unsubscribe, because I just joined today, but before you go... Anybody with Mortimore???? Camille

How do I unsubscribe? I must be on the wrong list because I have been unable to find a mutual ancestor with anyone on this list Martha

I am looking for information on Obediah Leonard, born around the 1790's. He married Martha Hassel (b. 13 Jan 1793 in Tyrell Co., NC) They had seven children. After the birth of their last child, (1825) Obediah left the family, moved to Kentucky where he had a family with another woman. Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

Hello- Is anyone familiar with the Shaw families of Guilford County? I have a Happy Shaw born about 1795 who married a John Upchurch in Chatham County in 1815. There were very few Shaw's in Chatham so I'm wondering if maybe Happy's family came from Guilford County. Thanks Tim

She was daughter of Alexander BRUCE and second wife, which her name is unknown, but I believe her mother to have been Rachel WOODSON. Married John QUEENSBERRY before 1795.

Greetings to the list - I am trying to find information on two ancestors of mine - one with a better connection to Guilford Co. Martha G. McClintock b. Jan 1 1804 in Guilford Co. She married Peter Cummings King on March 21, 1831. Peter was born in North Carolina as well in 1808 but I'm unsure where. They had three children - two of which were born in NC - Isabelle Jane King b. 1833 and Levi Jasper King born in 1835. If anyone has information on McClintock's in Guilford I would really appreciate the sharing! Thanks - Jen Herron andyhe@msn.com

I want to know if Wayne Dunn have a relative back in the 1800's name Harry Dunn. If so what where some of his childrens names. I'm looking for information on Millie Simmons, who father was Harry Dunn. Please email me at Kennyd12@go.com

Is there a Phil Coltrane who subscribes to this list? I need his email address. Thanks! Tim Walls (Louisville, KY)
