I have very little info and am hoping to find a connection out there. My husband's gg-grandmother was Delia Susan Beasley, she married Henry Ellis Thain. Delia's parents are Charles and Edith Beasley. The only census record I have found with them together is 1860. Charles and Edith are listed in the 1860 census: married in Boon Hill, Johnston County, NC. I believe Edith to have died before the 1870 census and Charles remarried, a Rebecca Perdue. Charles is in the 1870 census in Raleigh, Wake County, NC with Rebecca and some of his children. I found a grave for Edith Beasley, died in 1868 in Riverside Cemetery, Johnston County, NC, but I can't confirm this is my Edith. I found a marriage record for Charles Beasley and Rebecca A. Perdue, Dec 29, 1868, but again I can't confirm. If anyone is researching this Beasley line, I would love to share info!!

I have a copy of the book Family Adventures. The author, David V. Muckleroy is still living in Nacogdoches, Texas. <1906dm@sbcglobal.net> He is in a wheelchair and his health varies from time to time. He sometimes has copies made. You will have to ask him. Let me warn you that there are over 3000 typewritten and Xeroxed pages. It is not cheap to even copy that many pages. He might copy just the pages you need, but I don't know what is possible. The LDS Library has most of the pages (not the bad early Xerox pages from ages ago) on microfilm (or microfiche). Also they have a copy in their library. The Mackelroy/Muckleroy (about 50 different spellings but all the same line) has been followed down from John and Francis in Baltimore Co., MD until about 1983. He did not follow the allied families much except to say who the spouses' families were. There are a good many copies of documents and references which mention allied families. Many, many people contributed to this effort. They are thanked in mass in the front of the book, but the book does not source each bit of information. The indexes are pretty complete. All Mackelroy spellings are listed together (However would you do otherwise?) If you want someone with a common name (lots of Williams for example), it is wise to look for a related name because, unless you know the section of the book, it is very time consuming to look for a common name. There were many people working on the family back in 1973 when I began working on it. People who helped me are gone. The LDS library also has a copy of the book by Tom McLeroy, now deceased, and his widow didn't have any more copies. I copied a lot of it when I was at Salt Lake Library some years ago. It is very well done for what researchers need to know about the early family. Again, it is just Mackleroy (I use that spelling for all but descendants of Avington Muckleroy. That is the only way I can find them on my database) and intermarried families such as the Hartsfields and Jones, etc. I will be willing to share anything I have on the computer that is not time consuming. My time is pretty well spoken for this summer and I'm not as young as I was. Let me recommend some books containing deeds and court records, etc. by Weynette Parks Haun. She has them for several years for Johnston and Wake and some other South Carolina families. They are in quite a few libraries. I know Clayton Library in Houston has them. She has them for sale also but you will have to do a search as I don't remember the website. They are in paperback format (8-1/2 x 11) and are reasonably prices for the current time. I have several copies in my library. I have recently been working on organizing female lines from the family. Some are from Pendleton Co., SC to Tennessee counties of Franklin >Coffee> Grundy > Benton (now Calhoun Co., AL) > to Texas. It is understood that I have worked in Maryland and Virginia and Craven, Johnston, Wake NC and Georgia. I've done some wondering and looking for maiden names not documented in earlier information. I am still working on trying to prove what John's wife, Francis' maiden name was. I have worked on eliminating a lot of names and have copies of documents mentioning one or two who might work out. I have been unable to prove from the documents I have which have been said to prove her name whether there is actually any proof in there. I visited the archives in Maryland 3 years ago. When I get some other genealogical projects to a stopping place, I might try that again. I have also worked on trying to find Ghaskey's maiden name (although I am not from her). I have a clue, but that is all that it is. Shared clues have a way of showing up on the internet as REAL and that takes longer to dispel something wrong that it did to put it there. For instance, there is no proof that Archibald's wife, Catherine, was a Simpson other than her daughter named a son Simpson. I have looked and looked and have been unable to prove that. I'm pretty big on PROOF. I enjoy hearing from family researchers.

I have the first name Needham in my Brown family from Johnston County. I'm glad to finally learn where it came from. I kept looking for a Needham marriage connection, but could not find one. Now I know why.

I attended a genealogical seminar once at which the speaker stated that given names such as Needham, Caswell, Burwell, etc, are known as Tidewater names. That is they originated with families living in the Tidewater areas of Virginia and Maryland. But, I am sure that most of the younger males in Johnston Co were named after Needham Bryan(t).

Dear List, Colonel Needham Bryan served in the Revolution from Johnston County, NC. He was born Oct. 31, 1725 Married Nancy Smith on Feb 5, 1748. His second wife was Charlotte Moore. Needham Bryan was a member of the colonial assembly of NC in 1762 & 1771. Her represented Johnston County in the 1,2,3 & 4th Provincial Congresses which met 1774, 1775, 1776. In 1776 he was active in the Battle at Moore's Creek. His resume is longer than I've copied above. I have an ancestor that had a child named "Needham Lee." My ancestor served under Colonel Needham Bryan. If I had to guess--I would say that most all of his loyal soldiers named children after Needham Bryan.

Can anyone help me with a dilemma? I have info about two John Thorntons, one given the middle initial A. and the other, an E. Could these two Johns be the same person? Would like to hear from anyone who has info on these men. Thank you. Freda 1. John A. Thornton married Sarah Sally Sills, daughter of Elizabeth Thornton and Wm Clement Sills of Wilcox County, Al., has a son John Erving Thornton born in 1836, Alabama. A cousin of mine, now deceased, had this John A. as the son of ASA THORNTON and Nancy B. Collier Thornton, but Ken Thornton was never able to find an ASA Thornton in any record. (There is a J. A. Thornton in the 1880 Butler County Census age 52, son James, age 21, daughters Emily F., age 18, Joannie C., age 13, Nancy E., age 8.) 2. A death certificate gives John E. Thornton, son of Needham and Sallie Thornton, both born in N.C., dying on 7 June 1911 in Butler County. He was 75 years old. His wife's name is not given, just described as "widowed. H. H. Henderson signed the death certificate, 8 July 1911, Bolling, Al. " From Mary E. Brantley's Book "Early Settlers Along The Old Federal Road in Conecuh & Monroe Counties": Needham Thornton was a farmer living in the Burnt Corn area in 1850. He was born in NC in 1791 & his wife, Sarah was born in 1796 in NC according to census records. There is no maiden name for Sarah. It lists their children & their children's children. 1..
