I live near Richmond,and my name now is Hayman,originating in NC.I just lost my Mother in NC recently.She was Johnson-Lee and I don,t have her to fill me in all this searching. Thanks---------Ruth

Betty Pace: I can't speak for research in VA, but I can speak for NC. I have been researching in Wake, Johnston and Harnet counties, mainly, for about 11 years and I have found NC to be very generous with their genealogy information. I have now been doing research in MD on my mother's family and when calling around I found restrictions and laws on what info I could and couldn't have access to in MD. I told the people at the MD State Archives, the type of info I have received from NC and I was told "Honey, don't even think your going to get that kind of help or information from MD." I, for one, feel very lucky to have been researching in a state that is really into the genealogy aspect of their state. I always had fond memories of NC while growing up, then when visiting their last year, I can say that everyone was still just as friendly and were so willing to help me. I stopped and talked to strangers, who went out of their way to give me directions, or to tell me that I might want to try this small cemetery, or that cemetery. HURRAY FOR NC!!! Keep up the good work. Diane Keiser (Direct descendant of Etheldred Pollard, of Wake and Johnston Co.) Betty A.

A more complete way than I knew. See below. Betty Pace --------- Begin forwarded message ---------- From: Janmim@aol.com To: bapace2@juno.com Subject: Re: Imp. Addendum reUniv. of VA digital Library site Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2000 09:12:59 EST Hello Everyone, I have an important addendum to Betty's post that I don't think she pointed out. Once you get to an index card that interests you, you can download (retrieve document link above the card) a handwritten 'copy' of the original deed, with all the specific geographical information, neighbors, etc. The owner of course got the original. As someone recently said on Va-Southside....This is "as good as it gets" from the comfort of your home. Be forewarned though, it is VERY timeconsuming, and the images take up alot of computer space, so I've done several on floppies.

They seem to be in alphabetical order by first name after you search for your surname. If you know that you have very early ancestors in VA , you might try the same technique for your people.. There is also information on ships and passenger lists (plus crew) for some of the early ships to VA under Colonial Records. >> ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

This is several Millinder/Millander/Millender/Milliner related?? would make things easier on me? Let me know what you think Charlene Nix

Until recently I have only been on the North Carolina U.S. GenWeb Sites. However, I have recently begun exploring the very early counties in Virginia: James City, Charles City, etc. What I encountered in the VA counties was a request to register and be issued a password. I had a feeling that the next step was to enter a credit card number and to be charged a fee. This I noticed on the Digital Library sections of these VA counties. Is NC just more generous in sharing genealogy material? Does anyone have a thought about this? Maybe I misinterpreted the intent of the registration, but I never intend to give my credit card number over the internet.

I agree. I belong to Sampson and Harnett Mailing Lists, as well. My ancestors ended up living right on the border of all 3 counties without ever moving! Linda gwyddiion@ aol.com If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning. - Catherine Aird

Bob, I don't haae a Henry Solomon, but I don't have very much info on John G. Solomon before he moved to Alabama. Do you know if any of your families moved to Alabama? John G. supposedly married Sarah Godbold. The Godbolds were from North Carolina. Thank you for writing.

Joshua Lamb received one of the earliest land grants in 1744 in what later became Wilson County. Old Dobbs County BOOK 6 - April 1758 - April 1765 Joshua Lamb to Joel Dickerson pg 54 Few records have ever been found about this Joshua Lamb. According to this, he was in the area at least until 1758, at least 14 years. Jacob Lamb, Sr. settled in Old Dobbs County and his family eventually, after county boundary changes also ended up in Wilson County. He also is shown with a land transaction: Jacob Lamb to Thomas Briggs, pg 544. Does anyone know anything about Joel Dickerson or Thomas Briggs? ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/nc/johnston/land/book6.txt Faye

Freda, No, I don't know if my Solomons were ever in Alabama. I have a complete blank on them before Henry Solomon showed up in Brownsville, TN, in the mid-1800's. His daughter moved to Hardeman County, TN, after her marriage. Thanks for checking. Bob

Gail, my ggggrandfather was John G. Solomon. Did we exchange Solomon data? Can't remember. I have been in the frustrating business of moving all our files from our old computer to our new and at this point, I don't remember what we have exhanged. Just recently I have received some interesting letters on a John G. Solomon born at the same time as ours. Are you interested? I would like to know the names of the Solomons that you have. Some of us think John G. Solomon's wife was Sarah Godbold and are trying to prove that. Stay in touch.

Freda, I also need to research more in Sampson Co. That's where the Hills lived that ggg-gf Lovard Lee married into. I've been to their website. Maybe we need to join their mailing list too--seems like our people were definitely traveling together. BTW--on the 1830 Wilcox Co. census, ggg-gf Loverd Lee lived next door to a ROBERSON Hawthorn. http://genforum.genealogy.com/nc/sampson/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncsampso/index.htm Mail List--Subscribing.Try these manual instructions: to join NCSAMPSO-L, send mail to NCSAMPSO-L-request@rootsweb.com with the single word subscribe in the message subject and body.

Freda, One of my great-grandmothers was Matilda Caroline Solomon, daughter of Henry Solomon and Martha A. Gravitt (or Gravite) of Brownsville, TN. This is the only information I have on my Solomon line. Do you have anything that would indicate a connection between Henry Solomon and your John G. Solomon? Bob

Freda, How are you doing , looks like your still digging away. If you find your connection I wish you would let me know !! I have a ton of Eliz. but none just right ,two are in Ga. with the right time span other just don't fit. I don't know if these parent had their dau. before they left for Ga. but I have one Eliz. born 1802 to Ruben & Elizabeth Allen who went to Ga. married in 1795 . I do think I have seen that before m. to a Sills. By the way I did not know Solomon was a surname for NC. I have a Solomon in some of my trees... gail

'Morning! I just learned my gggrandparents Clinton and Elizabeth Thorton Sills, ca early 1800's,were from Sampson County, N. Car. Does anyone on this list research in that county, have info about web pages for that county, or have any info that would help me to do research there from way out in California? Many thanks for any info. Freda Researching South Eastern families: Roberson/Robinson, Canterbury, Wright, Sills, Solomon, Ingram, Thorton, Regan, Sims, Boles, Carter

I'd like to encourage everyone that is researching in Wilson County to stop by the Wilson County NCGenWeb site's surname pages. I've posted a lot of researchers and some new surnames so it's possible you might make a connection with someone. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncwilson/surnames/howtosur.htm (at the bottom of the page you can view the surname register & index and researcher profiles) Thanks! G. Hunter Ferrell snuffy20@telocity.com

There is supposed to be a will listed for IRBY STEVENS on CD # 509 North Carolina Wills. If someone has this CD or other access to an index, I would really appreciate a lookup. I know he is in Johnston Co., NC in miid 1850's but he does not appear on the published indexes for 1850, 1860 or 1870. Thanks for any help. Nula Tingleff
