    3. TWIMC My cousin,Neal Brown(AK) and I have been researching this line for some time with some results but with major brick walls. I have been to Winton,Hertford Co. CH &Library;To Jackson,Northhampton Co. CH & Library;to Raleigh,NC CH and History Ctr. Neal Brown has done personal research via the net,LDS,etc. and hired a professional to research this line in NC/VA?. Our line seems to start in Hertford Co. mid 1700's or earlier. The basic names start w/ Benjamin,Lewis. Our known line is Lewis,spouse of Jemima(?) and father of Wilson,1st spouse unknown but four possibly five issues;Betsy,Martha,William Neuborne(sic),Calvin.Wilson's 1st wife unknown but app died prior to 1820 at which time Wilson went to TN possibly w/ the Bone? family. Wilson known to be in Gibson Co,TN 1828. Married Ruth Permelle Shelton in TN and 5 issues. Back to Hertford Co.-Lewis aaand Jemima(?) had property and slaves;he was involved w/ local government and obtained property in TN and IL,possibly thru military grants. One sister,Martha thought to have married and stayed in Hertford Co. On e problem-this family entered erroneously into LDS records in Giles Co.,TN -a real throw-off. There is alot of other data in this research but know proving Jemima's maiden name;did they come from VA or where?;who was Wilson's first wife; Death/burial info on Lewis/Jemima. There app to be a Jemima in a later census(1830?) as Head of Household. It does not app that Lewis and Jemima left the NC area permanently. Confusing is there are several Bejamins(Lewis' father?) and several Lewis' Any help appreciated. Kenneth S. Reightler,Sr. <shangmem@exis.net> Va. Beach VA
