Hi All, Does anyone out there know ANYTHING about a small town in North Carolina named McGrady...??? Size, exact location and possibly how the town got it's name...?? Thanks Much, Pam

Hello, I undestand that there were Causeys that migrated from the Greenville/Guilford area of NC to Horry County, SC. Does anyone know of a Daniel Causey? He would have to have been born in the 1850's or 1860's. He was married to an Arments Lee (don't know if that was her maiden name or middle name). They had at least two kids that I know of, John Pinkney Causey (born in Horry, about 1882) and Mabelle Causey. Do these people ring a bell for anyone? I've had no luck finding Daniel and Arments searching in Horry. Thanks.

Someone asked that I post information about the maps to this list. Here it is: These maps were developed by Fred Hughes, who has died some time ago. The Guilford County Genealogical Society has the Guilford County map along with a book on the county full of info he collected when putting the map together. Check out the Society's web site: www.greensboro.com/gcgs. Mary Browning has available, for sale, the other county maps. Mr. Hughes did not put a book out on those. _______________________________________________________ I just recently ordered a map of Randolph County. Mr. Hughes has died. Send correspondence to Shirley Hughes, 167-A Old Mill Rd., High Point, NC 27265-1286. The maps are $10.00 PPD. The maps that are available are Davie, Guilford, Montgomery, Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes, Surry, and Yadkin counties. __________________________________________________________ Email: nona@rof.com Web: http://www.rof.com/gene R.O.F.E.

Long time ago I bought a couple of maps for Guilford County and Rockingham County that showed water courses and early settlers. Printed on the maps is "copyright The Custom House, PO Box 549, Jamestown, North Carolina 27282. Does anyone know if they are still in business? I'd like to get some more maps from them.

Vicki Davis wrote : " If he died in Greensboro, he might also be listed in the cemetery records for Guilford Co., NC." Which brings up an important question -- is there one source for all cemetary records in Guilford County? My ancestor, William LEWIS, died in Guilford County, but I don't know where he is buried and don't begin to know all of the cemetaries in which to look. If there was one large record of all burials in Guilford it would certainly help. Thanks for any info -- Alicia Fox

Isaac Wright, b. ca 1750, d. 1816, married Rebekah Thompson, b. 1752, d. 1840. Rebekah was the daughter of Robert Thom(p)son the Regulator who was killed in cold blood by Lord Tryon at Alamance and granddaughter of Rev. John Thomson, the English (but Scottish educated) Presbyterian evangelist, who came to MD and DE ca 1715 and who is buried in Mecklenburg Co., NC. Isaac and Rebekah were reportedly located near Guilford Courthouse, NC during Rev War. Later, after the war, Isaac apparently purchased a TN bounty land warrant from a David Passmore, a soldier in the Rev War. Isaac and Rebekah moved to TN and settled on this land. They are buried 10 miles east of present day Murfreesboro. Female descendants in the 1930's would later lay claim to rights in the DAR on the basis of Isaac's possession of this bounty land warrant. These claims are included in the DAR Patriot Index but appear bogus to the writer. Does anyone possess any proofs of THIS Isaac Wright's service in the Rev War (yes, there were at least 3 contemporaries in the all the colonies with that name) which corroborate he and Rebekah living in or around Guilford Courthouse and rendering service during the Rev War? Doug Park, Editor The Parke Society Newsletter

DAR requires documentation of Revolutionary service and lineage, all sent to DAR in Washington DC however, they will not supply you with copies of the proof...they will however, give you the application of a member coming in under that Rev Ancestor if you know which one of his children etc... DAR will also check into any documentation or lineage that doesn't appear correct...not sure what the process is...but they of course want their records to be as accurate as possible...they also have a web site at dar.org I believe... might be nsdar.org As a member of DAR I know the documentation I had to send was at least 2 inches thick...and the complaint by most members is that it takes them too long to review the papers .... <g>... There are also a great many Revolutionary Patriots that are not in the DAR indexes...although a large collection if an Ancestors family did not join DAR they do not have a record of the service...

His name was Nereus Harper Leonard. ********************* Carol, North Carolina didn't require birth certificates until 1913. 1) Death certificates were begun about the same time, so if he died after that time his birth and death dates should be on that. You would need to check with the county for this information) 2) If he died in Greensboro, he might also be listed in the cemetery records for Guilford Co., NC. 3)Sometimes, a bride and groom's ages were listed on their marriage bonds. 4)Also, if Nereus was born in 1852, you could check the 1860 census records for the Leonard families in Guilford Co. All of the members of a household were listed as well as their ages. This isn't foolproof however, because the ages given on a census record are frequently off somewhat. Good hunting, Vickie Crim Davis vcdavis@netunlimited.net

Hi fellow seekers... This may be a stupid question, but I am trying to find info for my gggrandfather who was born in Greensboro in 1852. Did they even have birth certificates back then? If so where would copies of them be kept? If not, can someone give me some ideas of where I might start digging for such information? His name was Nereus Harper Leonard. Thanks Carol

Francis I have one Coley relative about which I know next to nothing. . Sallie A. F. Coley married my great-grandfather Francis James Tilley in 1865 in Person or a nearby county in NC. Their children were Christopher Columbus Tilley and Virginia S. Tilley. I am descended from Francis Tilley by another wife, Betty Coley Laws, whose relation to Sallie A. F. Coley, if any, is unknown to me. I have a picture of Betty and a small Bible she owned. Does any of this sound familiar?
