Hello, does anyone know if Nathaniel Thornton d. June-24-1860 married to Edna Strickland had any children. I have them in my files but never anything about descendents.. Thanks, Gail ps. He was born on the Thornton Farm , " Emmitt Rd. " Sampson co. but not sure if he lived in Johnston / Wayne / Sampson areas..

Hi Carla, Yes I have previously seen all the info you stated about James W & Isabella Tart are supposed to be Jessie Lees' parents. I was looking in that direction for the past couple of years, never finding our family. THAT IS INCORRECT! THAT IS THE WRONG JESSIE! I have finally located OUR Jessies children 1st in the 1900 Johnston County Census (this Jesse was dead by then), but listed the children with the correct ages and names. I then back tracked to this same family in the US1880 Sampson and finally found them. When I posted my results to the SAMPSON board I was then lucky enough to have several "newfound cousins" from Jessie's wifes family- the WESTBROOKS, and everything has now fallen into place.

Nov. 1851 HH -widow James C.,(Claude); b. May 1880 Jesse, b. 1883 Mammie, b.1884 Jamey A., Fanny John. F. I spent years on this! The first real substantial proof was when I located the WW1 Reg Card for this Jessies son James C(Claude), b. May 1880-and it verified his fathers name was JESSE LEE. Then there was still the quandry over proving WHICH ONE! The problem was all these LEE lines had JESSIE's, YOUNG, and other names of our line. (It does appear they were all connected somehow! Sarah / Sallie A WESTBROOK is the mother of my Ggrandmother Mammie and all of her 11 of 14 children that lived. When I get everything cited correctly I will send this info.

Anne's age in the 1850 census appears to be 34 while Seawell is 23. If Benjamin Beasley was born in 1810 (age appears to be 40 in the 1850 census), then he would be too young to be Anne's father. Can you provide me with your sources of information so we can resolve this discrepancy?

I know there is a Holt's Lake, but is there also a Holt's Pond? As a young teenager, my cousin, died in Holt's Pond. I vividly remember passing it every time we would leave my Aunt Annie Mae (Pollard) Talton's home. It was her son that died at the age of 16.

Joane, Our STRICKLAND Family branched off to GA. Even up to my grandfather- they moved back and forth and kept in touch. We descend from WILLIAM STRICKLAND, (desc. of Mathew Strickland- Isle of Wight) & SARAH (Holly?) who settled in SAMPSON County in the 1700's. Have you joined the STRICKLAND-L list yet? DNA testing and research has been ongoing with wonderful results- and are posted. I will be sending you a personal EMail cintaining charts & links to sites! Good Luck! Nancy RE: Nancy, I am so encouraged to read of your success. It is almost as rewarding as finding my own family history of which there seems to be very little. I am from Ga. and have a Sarah Strickland and a Nancy Strickland in my Oxford,Fossett families. Continued good luck. Til next time, Joanne Yeager Thorne

There wasn't a fire they just took the top floor off. The building was in three sections. Yes, it was a Tavern and a couple of miles down the road there is a road called Thunder Road.

It was then bought and turned into a BBQ place. One of the owners was Cleveland Holly. Not sure when the top floor was removed but it use to be two floors and it is still painted white. At one time it was in three sections. JD Heath was the next owner and now it is owned by Lenwood Parker. There were about 12 cabins next to White Swan but only 4 remaining. They still serve family style. It is exit 90 from I-95. Drive 5 miles toward Smithfield on US 301/NC. It is on the left.

The building you mentioned was at Holt's Lake. In fact, part of the building was still standing about four years ago. In the late 40's and early 50's, as a young boy, I used to go there with friends swimming. I remember the dance hall and boat docks. It was a nice place to go in those days for enjoyment.

IN MEMORY OF MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER MAMMIE LEE STRICKLAND, - 1884-1903, daughter of Jessie & Sarah A. LEE & her only child - WILLIAM BRASCO STRICKLAND 1903-1986 Re: [NCSAMPSO] LEE-NC1880 Sampson,US1900 JoCo>Cumberland after 1900 Today I have learned that which was concealed from 3 generations of my family for 102 years... THANK YOU ALL ! You cannot imagine the sense of emotion I am experiencing by what all I have just learned. (Due to the circustances this is much different than any of my other lines.) I have spent thousands of hours researching, trying to discover my Ggrandmother MAMMIE LEE's family, and now that I have so many doors have been opened in less than 24hrs. Simply amazing! The US1900 census I located only a few days ago was the first documented source I found showing she ever existed at all. I have been with several lists for years and I have to say that the response I have gotten from Sampson, JoCo and Cumberland -L lists has been enormous for less than 24 hrs. in time.. I have came across some info on Uriah WESTBROOK (LEE>TART>WESTBROOK)connection previously, while searching for the "right" JESSE/Jessie/Jessee LEE, but could not determine which JESSE was her father.(or Grandfather). I had no idea of the ROYAL connection. (Jerome Tew- I will be e-mailing you again on this!) I can't wait to learn more! This means so much to me and my 71 yr old mother who never had the chance to know her grandmother, as she died so young. And moms' step grandmother forbid anyone talking about Mammie. (She was said to be jealous of Mammie and treated my mother and her sister mean as children) so we had no idea of Mammies' life, roots or anything other than her name and her brother Jesse. This is all I started my long journey of research with. This and the fact that my grandfather, WILLIAM BRASCO STRICKLAND, was told his mother Mammie was 1/2 Cherokee. The only thing my mother was given of hers, was a hand drawn portrait of Mammie that hangs in my mothers living room to this day. I plan to scan it onto disk one day soon. It is fragile so I may have to have a professionals advice 1st, before removal from frame. (It had to be drawn before her death in 1903.) I look more like her and her son- my grandfather, - than anyone else in all my lineage. My grandfather STRICKLAND was my closest friend, mentor and hero. I do this to continue his legacy. He grew up without a mother, self educated himself by reading books, ran away as a young teen, lied about his age to serve in the Navy, then joined the Army and worked a second job selling McNess products. He took all of his extra money and put it into real estate, (doing all maintenance on his apartments and houses himself), and became a self made millionare, who never forgot where he came from. Everyone who met him loved his down to earth humor, kind heart and determined spirit. I just wish he was here to know we finally found his mothers' family. And I wish she had lived to see all he overcame and accomplished. I generally don't get so emotional over my research- but this discovery is a fullfillment of the dreams of 3 generations in my family. I will have to post all the data later when I can get over all the tears of joy I have experienced today. I am the granddaughter of WILLIAM BRASCO STRICKLAND 1903-1986 and LAURA ALICE PARKER 1911-1991, through their eldest of two daughters. Their descendants are the only descendants of MAMMIE A. LEE, 1884-1903 and GEORGE WILLIAM STRICKLAND, 1879-1963. (George William does have many other descendants through his second wife, Alda BAREFOOT).. Maybe knowing the family connections will finally enable me to locate Mammies' burial... Her husband, George William STRICKLAND is buried at the V.A. Memorial Cemetary, off Ramsey Street (401N), here in Fayetteville, Cumberland County, NC., a few plots over from my grandparents- William B & Laura STRICKLAND and my mothers sister- ALICE YVONNE STRICKLAND-BELL-VEAHMAN, (1936-2001). Next Question- Does anyone know WHERE the Cherokee came from- and who are the grandparents that the descendants of her brother Jesse-speak of? Now that I know who her family was, I want to learn all I can! Sincerely, Nancy J. Capps IN MEMORY OF MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER MAMMIE LEE - 1884-1903 & her only child - WILLIAM BRASCO STRICKLAND 1903-1986

It was 2 floors sometime oprior to the 1960's, there may have been a fire & a re-build. At one time it was owned by Mr. Cleveland Holley. But before that I still think is was some sort of local dance place with a juke box & possible a place where drinks could be purchased...in a time when Alcohol was not sold legally in Johnston Co. Any one confirm this? From about 1930's-1950's??? Was it a "joint"?

I rememember as a kid growing up and visiting my Uncle Nathan Preston and Aunt Annie Mae (Pollard) Talton in Smithfield, somewhere around Holt's Lake and we all use to go to a large white building, which served their food family style. I have often thought about that place, but could never remember the name.

Hi Stephen, By looking at the 1870 Census, page 31, I think the Census Taker made a mistake. If you'll notice a line is drawn from Gilly's name to her son William Rains Jr.. I think she was living in dwelling # 242 instead of dwelling #241 (Applewhite Richardson). Evidently Wm. Sr. died between 1860 and 1870. My data base doe not show Gilly and Applewhite related in anyway. What do you think ?
