Louis on the information you have for Halifax county are any mention of the Charles D. Butts family. In 1870 census data he had a rather large farm in the Bushy Creek area. Had a large family to. Thanks for any help Dr. W. Fred Butts buttsroots@mindspring.com I have heard of that swamp area before but I can't remember where its at. Usually when mention with two creeks or rivers etc. the swamp could be in the same area. Close maybe to the headwaters of one or both. ----- Original Message ----- From: <GTTforgood@aol.com> To: <NCHALIFA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 1999 11:07 AM Subject: [NCHALIFA] Geography Lesson > Fellow Halifax researchers: > > Some of you may remember that I am researching the CARPENTERS of Halifax County abt 1730 to 1800. I have obtained the abstracts of Edgecombe County deeds that are in Halifax (pre-1758) and the Halifax deeds. The land in question is QUANKEY CREEK (both Little and Big) and Quankey Swamp. I have a 1972 county map of Halifax Co. and find the two creeks which run into the Roanoke but where is Quankey Swamp? Could someone please let me know. > > Also I am convinced that Issac Carpenter's father is William and that James REEVES, the KINGS, and WHITES are related.
