The 1870 census lists Elicia & Priscilla Carter living in the Hookerton section of Greene County but by the 1880 census, she is listed alone with their two youngest sons, James (15) & Joseph (17), in the Contentnea Neck (district 83) of Lenoir County. We assume she was a widow at that time. Although they are listed as Carter...their son, James always listed himself as McCarter. Elicia was listed as Carter in all census reports but one where is was Mcarther. Thanks for any assistance or suggestions.

Shadrack Loftin and Christian Isler were the parents of Williiam Isler Loftin who married Mary West. This came from Roots Web family tree search and seems to be accurate (information from a manuscript "Genealogy of Loftin and Allied Families" from the Joyner Library at East Carolina University.) I also have the information from "The Heritage of Craven County" which is basically the same for Shadrack's father, Cornelius, and grandfather, Leonard. The information in the HofCC is confusing, and doesn't mention Shadrack and his family. You can also go to http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/nc/craven/bios/isler01.txt to see where the Loftins and Islers fit together. I am interested in Cornelius' brother Leonard's son Joseph Loftin. His daughter Sarah married Henry Always. Their daughter Content married a Thomas Evans, who I hope is my lost ggggrandfather. Hope this helps a little. Jane

Two Kinston women put city on national radar for tourism March 16,2005 <http://www.kinston.com/SiteProcessor.cfm?Template=/GlobalTemplates/Stories.cfm&ByReporter=Lee%20raynor&Section=Local>Lee raynor [] Managing Editor People seldom appreciate the things they see every day. It's certainly true in my case. I grew up in Goldsboro. The breathtaking grandeur of the Cliffs of the Neuse, now a state park just outside town, was ho-hum. Willowdale Cemetery, with its fading grave markers of Civil War soldiers, was nothing special. As I moved to Michigan, and later to Wisconsin, those states' many attractions seldom captured my attention. I could see them anytime, I thought. When I finally moved from one state to another, I still hadn't seen things and places I'd taken for granted. When I came back home to North Carolina I was determined to find time to see more, do more. Moving to Kinston was a lucky break. I don't have to drive hither and yon to discover some of the most interesting sights - and sites - in the state. Plenty of other people are learning that Kinston is interesting too. Two major history groups visited our city in just the past two weeks: the U.S. Colored Troops and re-enactors to commemorate the 140th anniversary of the CSS Neuse scuttling. Now Kinston's history will receive national attention. North Carolina Civil War Trails, which is part of a wider effort based in Virginia, is pointing toward Kinston as an important destination for historic tourism. Ardent history buffs Jane Phillips and Cindy Brochure cajoled the state group to include Kinston in its Trails brochure. Phillips is president of Historic Preservation Group. Brochure is a HPG board member. The women convinced Trails organizers that the battles fought in Kinston and Wyse Fork were an integral part of the Carolina Campaign and Sherman's March. The results of their persuasion can be seen in several places. Two Civil War Trails signs are on the battlefield behind King's Restaurant. One more is planned. Two are at Wyse Fork. Those sites are marked, along with the CSS Neuse historic site, the so-called "cat hole" where the Neuse was scuttled, and the Union attack at Woodington, on a new map published by Trails. It's the largest grouping of any site in the state, except along Harper House and Devil's Racetrack roads southeast of Bentonville and Smithfield, between U.S. 301 and N.C. 55. Kinston's seven markers outpaces the six in New Bern but combined they offer an intriguing glimpse into life as it was during turbulent Civil War times. Phillips said one of the goals she and Brochure had was to get as many markers as possible in Eastern North Carolina. The greater the lure, the more chance of drawing visitors here. Combine Kinston's marked sites with a visit to the Neuse II, the site of the hangings behind the Courthouse as ordered by Gen. George Pickett, Harmony Hall and Richard Caswell's stomping grounds and you've got a history-lover's dream. Historic tourism is one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S. These tourists spend their money freely. Any city that can boast historic sites and is smart enough to promote those sites, will benefit. The Trails maps, by the way, are free. Pick up one here at The Free Press, at the chamber, the Neuse site, in restaurants and motels or at the library. You'll be amazed. And proud. Lee Raynor is managing editor of The Free Press.

The researcher is right Christian is the male version of Christina. But your Aunt's name could have been spelt that way for several reasons. One being it was spelt wrong [people back then did not to a good job in spelling, our census prove that], or her name was Christian and not Christina. My mother is from NC and is now 90 yrs old. Her first name is Marion, spelt like a boys name. Men in those days also had the name Shirley. There is many names out there spelt different ways, and can be taken for the wrong gender. I have the book The Heritage of Lenoir County, in it on page 392 is: John Sutton, Jr. [1760-1828] married Ferebee Isler [1765] of Jones County, the daughter of William Isler and Hester Williams. William Isler was the son of Christian Isler and Elizabeth Coleman. William was commissioned Lt. of a Militia in 1755. Hester Williams was the daughter of Col. John Pugh Williams and Ferebee Pugh. John and Ferebee Sutton settled in Lenoir County. John Sutton, Jr. was born in Lenoir County, NC in 1760. He was the son of prominent land owner John Sutton Sr. and his mother was Ann Turner, both of old Dobbs County. John Sutton, Jr, received a good deal of land deeds in Dobbs Co. from the years 1779 to 1828. He enlisted late in life in the Revol. War and was away several years before he returned and married Ferebee Isler of Jones County. Born in 1765 she was the daughter of William Isler and Hester Williams. Ferebee Isler was the granddaughter of Christian Isler, Secretary of the Palatine Colony that came to America in 1710. Baron deGraffenreid's colony of about 1500 Swiss and 650 Palatines were of his choosing and he picked young, healthy and industrious persons of various trades. The Palatines were a very religious German sect. After the colony settled in New Bern they worked hard and within 18 months had become more prosperous than many that had been in Carolina several years. They not only prospered but rapidly mixed with the English settlers and in a few years became indistinguishable in either appearance or speech from the settlers of pure English stock. Among the members of the expedition were Nicholas Isler and his two sons, Christian and Frederick. Within three years we find him making his first claim of title to land in America. His son, CHristian, born in 1694, was a man of great ability and of good education. He prospered as a planter and by judious purchase and sale of land he built himself up into one of the most important land owners of Craven Co. Ferebee Isler was also the direct descendant of Thomas Savage I who was born in England in 1594. Savage came to America at the age of 13 with the first permanent English Colony that was founded in Jamestown, VA. in 1607. He arrived as an indentured servant on the vessel "The John and Francis" a supply ship to the New World, captained by his master, Christopher Newport. In 1608, Thomas was given to the Indian Chief Powhatan by Capt. Newport and Capt. John Smith. Thomas lived with he Indians for three years and learned their language and ways. On his return to the colony he acted as interpreter and general agent for the colonists in their dealings with the Indians and was of immense value to the colony. Thomas was deeded 9000 acres on the Eastern shore of Virginia by the Indian King and was the first white man to live in the area. He was given the rank of Ensign in the Indian War of 1624. On the wall of the Memorial Church at Jamestown there is a bronze tablet to his memory. Of all the original settlers of the Jamestown Colony, only Thomas Savage and Thomas Wooten have descendants today and may claim the oldest blood of English descendants in the United States. Ensign Savage married Hannah Tying who came to Virginia on the ship, Sea Flower in 1621. He died in 1627, leaving his widow and one son, John. John Savage's son, Thomas II of Cherrystone married Alice Harmonson and it was their great granddaughter, Hester Williams who married William Isler. Hester had a brother who was Benjamin Williams, Governor of NC 1799-1802. and again in 1807. William and Hester Isler had one son and six daughters. The daughter, Ferebee Isler married John Sutton, Jr. Ferebee and John Sutton, Jr. had eleven children, three sons and eight daughters: 1. James born 1798 married Susan Walters 2. Winnie born 1800 married Richard Sutton son of William Sutton 3. Annie born 1802 unmarried 4. Harriet born 1806 married John Stroud son of William Stroud 5. Susan born 1808 unmarried 6. William Isler 1800-1854 married Sally Rouse, daughter of Willis and Nancy Dawson Rouse 7. Daughter born 1812 8. Daughter born 1814 9. Daughter born 1817 10. Ferebee born 1820 11. John Fred Isler 1822-1870 married Nancy Mewborn, daughter of Hardy Mewborn and Deborah Parrott. John Sutton died in 1828 and is buried between Bucklesberry and LaGrange in the woods behind the homeplace of his son, William Isler Sutton. ================================================= There is a Shadrack Loftin in this book it states, Walter Dunn married Cynthia Loftin, daughter of Shadrack Loftin and his wife Sarah Cox. They came through Leonard Loftin who came to NC in 1680's. June [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) 7.

It is my understanding that Thomas Wiggins b in Len. Co NC abt 1815-1820 d between 1850-1860 and married Mary Polly Moore b about 1815/ died aft 1870. 1850 cen Len. Co lists Thomas age 30; Polly 35; Ann 16; Cullen 10; Eliza 5; Susan 2. 1860 Lenoir census lists the family, but not him it only has Mary 40; Cullen 19; Eliza 15; Susan 12; Ann Moore 24. Was Ann a Wiggins or Moore? 1870 list her as Ann Wiggins 37; Eliza 9; Rig den 4; If anyone can shed some light on this line I will appreciate it a lot. Linda Melvin
