My mother's side of the family is from the area of Johnston, Harnett & Sampson. My mother was born in Dunn NC. Before my grandfather died, he was living in Benson NC. My great-grandfather had land in Sampson County (Mingo). These areas are so close, geographically, that it's hard to know for sure which list to post to, so I'm posting to all three. Please forgive any inconvience this may cause. I'm looking for any info on Benjamin Hudson, Nancy Ellis and any of their children..... 1. Benjamin HUDSON married Nancy ELLIS. + 2. i Josiah HUDSON married Elizabeth Martha HUDSON in Johnston County in 1868, married Caroline POPE about 1905, married Lula BOYETTE after 1914. Josiah and Elizabeth had about 16 children that I know of. Josiah and Lulu had two. 3. ii Jarmen HUDSON. 4. iii Nancy HUDSON. 5. iv Jesse HUDSON I'm also looking for any info on Rossie Parnell CARTER and her family, Rene Summons HAWLEY and Archie CARTER. Rossie was born 1888-1972, the daughter of Archie CARTER and Rene Summons Hawley CARTER. She married Willis B. HAWLEY and was last living in Dunn NC. Any help on these lines, is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Linda gwyddiion@aol.com
