The Baby Yelvington was my grandfather oldest sibling. B/D 1882. I wonder if one of the now unmarked graves (on the back side) is William Harrison b. abt 1839. I think he never married and 'might' have had mental health issues. Will contact you via direct e-mail about fence & sign. - Kelly

Wow, what 10 cousins, 2 chain saws and a bit of hired help can do in 3 hours! We hauled off 2 dump trucks loads! Yes, 2! We have totally clean up the Harrison - Poole Cemetery once again. All the scrub and thorns have been cut down, the nice dogwoods, pines and ceders trimmed. Over all the plots have been groomed and the next step will be to spray the weeds and poison oak/ivy. Sonny Johnson, a GGGgrand son of John Rufus & Martha Harrison plans to do that next month. Mr. Dwayne Poole thinks he may have found one or two more graves, unmarked of course on the back side in the line of Icky Worth Harrison's grave. Future Projects: A FENCE and a SIGN. Something simple but nice. Ideas????

The below is the only thing I could find about this tavern. I'm thinking Newspaper articles could be found and ordered online..For anyone interested in NC Barbecue and it's history, this book is wonderful! I am sure if my father were still alive, he could fill us in on the things he may have heard about this tavern..wonder if the tavern went through several owners??? Jeannie Tomlinson Benson NORTH CAROLINA BARBECUE Flavored By Time By Bob Garner Copyright: 1996, by John F. Blair, Publisher Page: 109 Just across the parking lot from the present barbecue restaurant (The White Swan) stood the infamous "Flower's Tavern", a two story roadhouse and tourist court dating back to the late 20's. It was apparently sort of a Tennessee Williams kind of place and you could almost hear the duet between the faint bluesy wall of a saxophone and the rhythmic humming of the cicadas as you imagine what the place might have been like on a sultry evening. "Dark automobiles huddle untidily in the building's shadow, their windshields and crome bumpers reflecting the bright red and blue flashing neon sign. Pale golden rectangles of light fall from the windows and cut sharply across a dusty parking lot, and from inside, the insistent thump of the drums is the only fragment of the jukebox's blase that manages to cut through a discordant babble of voices and the clink of glasses. From the dusky gloom comes the "clunk" of a car door opening, and a deep rich female laugh floats across the dark highway, disappearing into the black cloak of the woods". ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2005 1:27 PM Subject: [NCJohnston] History of White Swan BBQ on US 301 -"Juke Joint" days? > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/gVB.2ACI/2798 > > Message Board Post: > > Hello, I am interested in finding out more about the White Swan BBQ place on US 301 between Smithfield & Holt Lake.

Surnames: Pace, Earnhardt, Smith, Reid, Hall Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/gVB.2ACI/2794.2 Message Board Post: I wonder if you know the names of the children of John JR. I have a John Smith (1780-1812) of Rowan Co. NC, who is supposedly from a German line,but his children don't have traditionally German names, making me doubt that nationality. Also his wife is not of a German family. Nothing is known of her in Rowan Co., making me think she came from another NC county. I know there were Bryans in Johnston Co. NC. Here is what I know. I have been searching for ten years to find the parents of my POLLY (MARY?) BRYAN, b. 1784. She married JOHN SMITH (1780-1812) in Rowan Co., NC in 1804, but no one seems to know anything about her. John Smith was a German of the Schmidt line in Rowan Co., NC. And the names of the children of this marriage have often seemed odd to me, given the fact that John Smith was German (his father was PETER SCHMIDT Jr.). I have also been told that perhaps Polly Bryan might actually have been a Forbis, and that certainly would explain the name of her first child WILEY SMITH. At the early death of John Smith in 1812, Polly remarried another German--Jacob Weant, and they had more children. At least two of the ancestry charts on www.ancestry.com show the marriage of our John Smith and Polly Bryan (one shows her as Polly O"Brian, b. Ireland but moving to Rowan from New Bern, NC but no source given). I have written to several of the submitters but got no reply on my request for sources. Although I still don't know for sure, I think the names of the children of John and Polly Bryan might be correct (IGI shows their marriage 14 April 1804 and uses the name Bryan). However, maybe she is Irish, especially given the names of the children: 1. Wiley Smith, b. 14 March 1805 (why this name? Was John disowned by his German family?) 2. Margaret Smith (b. 31 Oct. 1806 - will marry Isaac Earnhart (MY LINE) 3. Peter Smith b.30 Sept 1808 4. Elizabeth Smith, b. 3 Dec 1810 5. Drury Smith, b. 17 Oct 1812 (The name Drew Smith appears in one of the deeds of land sold from the estate of John Smith in McCubbins file. I know it is connected because it mentions Isaac Earnhart) According to these charts on the internet, the children of Jacob Weant (25 Dec 1780-8 Nov. 1838) and the re-married (17 Dec. 1814 ) Polly Bryan Smith on are: Lucy M. Weant b. abt. 1819 Caroline Weant b. abt 1815 Nancy Catherine Weant b. abt.1817 John B. Weant b.abt.1824 Sarah Ann Agnes Weant b.7 Jan. 1826 In your research have you turned up a Polly (Mary) Forbis who married a Bryan first and then a John Smith? Betty A. Pace - [email protected]
