Hello, My name is Will Holloman. Does anyone have any information on Elizabeth Virginia Bridger and her father JA Bridger? I need some answers like who was Elizabeth's mother and JA's wife respectfully; and where do they come from? Do they orginally hail from Virginia or where they orginally part of the orginal settlers that set up Hertford County. Any info would be helpfull. Please get in touch with me at: godfatherwahus@yahoo.com Thank you for your time. Will Holloman __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

My name is Will Holloman. I'm doing research on my family tree. Does anyone have any information on a Thomas Jefferson Vann and his wife, Elizabeth (Bettie) Mitchell. They were born sometime in the 1850's and moved to St. John in Hertford County in Northeastern North Carolina and had one son and five daughters. One of those daughters was Pauline Roberta Vann (born in 1882). She was my great-grandmother. She eventually married Robert Abner Holloman, Sr. His name is continued on today by my father, Robert Abner Holloman III. If you have any information on where they come from and who there ancestors were from. Are they related to the Vanns in that area or they related to other Vanns in other parts of the country? I ask this question because Robert Abner Holloman, Sr. and Pauline Roberta Vann are showned to be married in 1906 in Ashe County, North Carolina; clear on the other side of North Carolina in the western half of the state and about as far away from Hertford County as one can get without leaving the state. Can anyone solve this mystery for me? It would be a great help to me. Here's my e-mail address: godfatherwah@hotmail.com Thank you, Will Holloman P.S.- these are the offsping of Thomas Jefferson Vann and Bettie Mitchell! If you are descended from them give me a ring! Jesse J. Vann-Feb. 1879 Pauline Roberta Vann-Sept. 1882 (my line) Belauh B. Vann-Feb. 1882 Mary Hasseltine Vann-Oct. 1889 (never married) Nancy Vann-Feb.1894 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I haven't found that out yet. The people that told me about it didn't know. I suspect it's in the records at the Northampton County courthouse and in the Hertford County courthouse. But it's not exactly a priority with me, yet. <<smile> I'm still working on my family history. I haven't gotten good enough at that yet to figure out other people's history very well. <<grin> -Susan At 21:58 08/01/01 EDT, you wrote: does any one know the name of the fellow that burned the courthouse?

Hi, My great grandfather John W Moore has this to say about that burning "....a similar catastrophe befell the county of Hertford Saturday August 22nd 1830, a man named Wright Allen was said to have procured an incendiary to burn the Court House in Winton. Allen stood indicted for forgery, and was subsequently convicted and punished for altering the amount of a note given by Timothy Ridley of Manney's Neck. The culprit was a man of respectability and consideration and his punishment at the whipping post created a great excitement in our midst. His object in procuring the burning of the Court House was to destroy the evidence of his crime in the forged note. But he failed in this from the fact that the clerk, Lewis M Cowper had it with him in Murfreesboro. The greater portion of the records were destroyed." first appeared in the Murfreesboro Enquirer in 1877, from a reprint by David Powell of Moore's "Historical Sketches of Hertford County" Sally Moore Koestler -- Sally Koestler Sally's Family Place http://www2.txcyber.com/~smkoestl

Does anyone have the Family Tree Maker Family Archive cd # 234? If you do, please contact me; I believe one of my family members is on it. Thanks! Kathi Cooper coophome@ipa.net

Actually, I heard that the guy did burn some important evidence against him. It's just that he had already gotten himself into so much trouble in Northampton County, too, that it didn't matter. And, of course, he obviously got into trouble for burning the courthouse, too, on top of all of the other stuff. They must've thrown away the key after they put him in jail! It is rather frustrating to have all of that information just gone forever. But I guess it could've been worse. It could've burned even more recently, or been one of the last courthouses to be burned in NC instead of the first one burned. Another anecdote purported to be true according to several people I talked with there: the Union soldiers had first decided to burn Murfreesboro, but when the soldier in charge of the burning got there, he saw the Masonic temple, and being a Mason himself, decided to burn Winton instead. Too bad Winton didn't have a Masonic temple... -Susan At 17:25 08/01/01 EDT, you wrote: >The guy who burned the courthouse in Winton thought the evidence against him >was in the court house.

Hi all, I have a death certificate that is confusing me, especially because of Dawn's message about a Jesse Bryant Lassiter, and because of the census that shows a Jesse B. Lassiter in my ancestor's household. My Jesse was born about 1861. Here's what the death certificate says: Jesse Bryant Lassiter Male, White, Widowed Date of Birth: Can't learn, 1861 Age: About 58 Occupation: Farmer Birthplace: Hertford Co. Parents: Henry Lassiter, NC -- Betsy Lassiter, NC (Don't you hate it when they use nicknames on these things?!) Informant: J. W. Lassiter, Aulander, NC Date of Death: Jan. 27, 1919 Cause of Death: Influenza (15 days) Contributory: Heart & kidney dis. Place of Burial: Hertford Co. Date of Burial: Jan. 28, 1919 Undertaker: J. W. Herring, Aulander, NC Any other information about any Jesse Lassiters born around this time period will be helpful. I imagine when I finish sorting this mountain of paper I will have some better clues, but meanwhile, I will take all the help I can get. <smile> I do hope I can find some more information for you all in this pile. I kept the wish lists in front of me the whole time I was looking for my stuff. One or two of you had easy answers. Some of you had age-old questions experienced certified genealogists have not been able to figure out for years, so I didn't have a chance (like the Harrell question). The others I may have found some answers for, and at least an idea of where to look next or where not to look. -Susan

Trudy, I met two brothers who live in St. John, Hertford County and Jackson, Northampton County, who do research there, and have for many years now. I don't think they are certified, but they really know a lot about the process. We talked for a long time, two separate times. Their current research project is to reconstruct the original land grants in NC, which is an amazingly complex, tedious project. The State Archives knew about them and their project. I went to the State Archives between my two visits to them. Here is their information, if you'd like to contact them, or if anyone else would. I don't get anything out of it, and I don't even know what they charge. I also haven't seen their actual work, but I'm sure they would be willing to provide references, etc. Dennis Babb (252)587-1089 or (252)587-1090 dennisbabb@coastalnet.com Tony Babb (252)332-7564 tonybabb@yahoo.com I met these brothers one afternoon when I was trying to find the Lassiter homeplace and family cemetery (I think I may know where to look next time, but I haven't found them for sure yet). One of them lives right next to the St. Johns Baptist Church, and I was hoping a cemetery would be associated with the church, but no such luck... However, I really enjoyed talking with them and their family. It was nice to meet some people as crazy about history and genealogy as I am while out there researching. <smile> I think it's Tony's wife that's related to me, it turns out (somehow, haven't figured out exactly how yet, of course). Seems like if a family was there for any length of time, they got to be related to just about everybody else, and most of my father's family was there a very long time. <grin> I hope this helps lots of people! -Susan At 13:17 07/31/01 EDT, you wrote: >Hi: I am hoping someone on the mailing list will be willing to do some >family research for me.

Hi all, I know I'll be able to make some sense of the enormous amount of information I got from my research trip to NC eventually, but right now, it's just a huge pile of paper. Meanwhile, I have some information for some people (haven't even gotten as far as figuring out what for who yet, sad to say, since I just got back two days ago from being gone almost all of three weeks on three separate trips). So here goes: DEATH CERTIFICATES: Name: Ann Mariah Lassiter, Female, White, Widowed, Date of Birth: (blank), Date of Death: Feb. 17, 1925, Age at Death: about 88, Cause of Death: Old Age, no attending physician, Birthplace: Hertford County, NC, Name & birthplace of father: Jessie Lassiter, Unknown, Maiden Name of Mother: Betsey Lassiter, Unknown, Informant: J. L. Outlaw, Aulander, NC, Place of burial: Family graveyard, Date of burial: Feb. 18, 1925, Undertaker: J. W. Herring, Aulander, NC Name: Henry Lassiter, Male, White, Married, Date of Birth: Feb. 25, 1841, Date of Death: Feb. 28, 1921, Age at Death: 80, Cause of Death: Cardio Nephritis, Chronic; Contributory Cause: Senility, Signed, S.

W. Herring, Aulander, NC Name: Mary E. Lassiter, Female, White, Widowed, Date of Birth: 1836, Date of Death: Oct. 22, 1921, Age at Death: about 85, Cause of Death: Carcinoma of breast; Contributory Cause: Carcinoma of stomach, Signed, R. F. Benthall, Birthplace: St. Johns, NC, Name & birthplace of father: Joel Lassiter, NC, Maiden Name of Mother: Vasty Lassiter, NC, Informant: S. A. Saunders, Aulander, NC, Place of burial: Hertford County, Date of burial: Oct. 23, 1921, Undertaker: J. W. Herring, Aulander, NC CEMETERIES: Taylor Cemetery of Gates County Cemetery of Mt. Tabor Baptist Church near Mapleton and Murfreesboro, Hertford County Williams/Hinton Cemetery on Rd. 1106 Hinton/Henry Cemetery on Rd. 1103 Parts of a few others in Hertford County I photographed almost all of Job Cemetery, with many Lassiters, Outlaws, etc. About 150 stones, just guessing, in a field, that nobody but locals seem to know about. My great-grandmother is buried there, but she only married a Lassiter. As far as I can tell, none of the many Lassiters there are closely related to me, but some of you may have a relative there. It is right next to Aulander, NC but is in Hertford County on the old Mitchell farm off of the St. John-Aulander Rd. I suspect that many of these people worked on the Mitchell farm. My great-grandfather worked there as a supervisor for a while and that's probably why my great-grandmother was buried there, along with the fact that the Rogersons seemed to have a small plot there, and her mother was a Rogerson. I'll complete the survey in a couple of weeks when I visit for a day for a reunion. MAPS: Hertford County (and parts of Northampton and Bertie) 1863 - Conf. Army Engineers WITH NAMES OF PEOPLE WHO LIVED THERE AT THE TIME EXACTLY WHERE THEY LIVED RIGHT ON THE MAP!!!! I will be photographing this map and putting it up on the Hertford County web site for your research, too. I intend to use it to find out exactly where my ancestors lived by comparing it to the census. Bertie County 1877 - sketch, unofficial ADDED SURNAMES TO MY LIST: Dudley, Sander/Saunder, Teaster, Vinson I am also now convinced that Gregory is a valid family name until proven otherwise (have copies of old wills), but I will research the contrary version to be sure on next trip. OTHER: I found an illegitimate child as one of my ancestors, I'm pretty sure anyway, so almost got to add another surname, but that one is really going to be tricky because of the destroyed records! Speaking of destroyed records, I heard how the Hertford County courthouse got burned in the 1830's: An arsonist burned the courthouse because he had so many people after him legally. He got caught anyway because he also had legal problems in Northampton County, and it's a good thing they caught him when they did since he probably would have burned that courthouse next. Information on various Lassiters and some McGlohon/McGlaughn/McGlaughan/McGlaughon's. Many others. Specifically copied all of the information from cemeteries on Lassiters who were African American. Deeds, wills, marriages, census information, court information, photos and copies of very old documents. WHEW!!! -Susan

I am researching the family of my grandfather, Robert Manley. It was brought to my attention that in a search for the Manley name in censuses up to 1890 gives 122 Manley's, with the largest amount being in Hertford Co. I don't know if this goes with my family line, since I have no definite information on them. If the information I have below is correct, then William MANLY/MANLEY is my g-grandfather. If anyone has or can get any information on any of the people or the family below, please contact me! Thanks!!

Hi: Does anyone on the mailing list have information about Elisha E. Parker and his wife, Penelope Dilday. I believe they were the parents of Sophia Parker, b. 1830, who was my husband's great grandmother. Any information will be appreciated. Thanks, Trudy Swain

Liz, I believe we have one and the same Whitfield Bryant. This is what I have... Whitfield's father Allen Bryant... 1. Allen Bryant Allen was born about 1770 at Northampton County, NC. Allen died about 1815 at Northampton County, NC. Allen and Celia were married. No information on Celia. Allen and Celia had the following children: 2. i. Davis Bryant 3. ii. Lawrence Bryant 4. iii. Morris Bryant 5. iv. Whitfield Bryant 6. v. Catherine Bryant 7. vi. Lewis Bryant 8. vii. Miles Bryant 9. viii. Joseph H. Bryant 10. ix. Reddick Bryant Judging by the various deeds pertaining to Allen Bryant, he was most likely the brother of Jason, John, and Robert Bryant. Their lands, all adjoining one another, was in the Urahaw Swamp area of Northampton County, NC. 1. Whitfield Bryant The parents of Whitfield Bryant are: 2. Allen Bryant 3. Celia Whitfield was born about 1797 at Northampton County, NC. Whitfield and Sarah Brown (the daughter of John Brown ) were married April 1, 1817 at Northampton County, NC. Whitfield and Sarah had the following children: 4. i. John Bryant 5. ii. Polly Bryant 6. iii. Matthew Bryant 7. iv. Harrison Bryant 8. v. Willie Bryant 9. vi. Peterson Bryant 10. vii. Sarah Bryant 11. viii. Joseph H. Bryant 12. ix. Samuel Bryant 13. x. Elihu Bryant Whitfield died about 1842 at Northampton County, NC. My line goes through Joseph H. Bryant, Nancy T. Bryant, Harvey Augustus Hurdle, Nina Rhea Hurdle, then my father. Hopes this helps. All the information is posted on my website that I have. I have in my records that Peterson was born abt 1828. I would like more information on Mildred Peele. I have The Peele line also in my tree but cannot connect Mildred to them.

Susan, Sorry to take so long in my reply. My 10 yr old daughter had an accident last week and underwent surgery having three days in the hospital. Things have settled down a bit now so I have time to look at this. I really have no information on Lucy DARDEN. According to my records, she was married to Joseph H. BRYANT (b-abt 1806). Their marriage date shows 5 Sep 1826 in Northampton County. I have no records of children from this marriage or her parents or siblings. As for Joseph, his parents were Allen and Celia BRYANT. They had a child named Whitfield BRYANT who is in my direct line. Allen and Celia had a total of 9 children. Joseph and Whitfield were siblings. If you find that we do have the same Lucy Darden, I would love to hear more. She may not have been a grandmother but a distant aunt. Also, I would love to hear what you have found with the LASSITER surname.

I would like to hear from anyone researching the family of Jethro BAKER and his wife, Milly. Jethro died before 1830. They had at least 3 children: Martha, Sarah, and Joseph. Martha died in 1835. James NOWELL was appointed guardian for Joseph Baker. Joseph Baker's children were Daisy W., Robert G., Wayland, Arthur, and Quinton. Executors of Joseph Baker's will (presented to the Superior Court 3 Dec 1849) were A. H. ASKEW and W. E. MILLER. Jethro's widow, Milly, married Abner ALSTON, a neighbor on the 1820 Hertford Co. Census. Other neighbors were Timothy Baker and Cassander Baker. Mary Tyler rlmltyler@att.net
