This is really Duplin Co. and I could not find where I had Christine Grimes Thacker's e-mail address, so please pick up... Arch Branch, Jr. and Ester Grimes had Archilaus Bright Branch about 1816....where does the Bright come in here? Know it fits with the Grimes family somewhere? This Branch family is not related to my husband's Branch family so far as I know but they are intermarried with the Herring family several times and have recently aquired a good bit of information on them.

Hello all, as most of us are aware, during the civil war 22 men were hung in Kinston NC. They were considered to be deserters of the CSA, having been captured in New Bern after joining Union Forces. The Historical Preservation Group, is proud to be able to sponser a book signing and discussion, with Gerard A. Patterson, the author of "Justice or Atrocity, General George E. Pickett and the Kinston, N.C. Hangings. Mr. Patterson is now working on a follow up article to the book and is interested in hearing from descendants of the condemned men. I have put something up on the Historical Preservation Groups website about this event, as well as a list of the 22 men who were hung. it can be found at the following url http://www.historicalpreservationgroup.org/projects/hangings.htm I am a little premature in making this announcement, as I have not even linked this page anywhere yet.......:>D But wanted to give ya'll a chance to contact Mr. Patterson if you are a descendant. Come check out the list and see....... Tracy _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

Surnames: KING, WHALEY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/QUB.2ACE/884 Message Board Post: I understand that the death of STARKEY KING, father of Sarah Whaley, is in the death register for Lenoir County. I have also been told that their is a "family" cemetery in Strabane, where Sarah Whaley is buried. I am anxious to find out any of the details on these two items. All I know, at this point, is that Starkey King died between 1880 & 1900. (sure could use that 1890 census!!!) Thank you to anyone who is able to help! AJ Ambler

Some of us out of towners have decided to eat lunch together at the symposium this coming Sat. Of course, anyone is invited - in town or out. We only have an hour so we are going to run into town and have lunch at the Broken Eagle an eating establishment owned by Jan Barwick and Ted Sampley. Jan has agreed to set us up a table in the back and we are going to call in our orders during the break so it will be ready when we arrive. Tracy has posted the menu on Old Dobbers right at the top under the information on the symposium. URL is http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~paday/dobbers/index.htm This will give a lot of the list members an opportunity to meet each other and we invite all of you to join us. Jan and Ted have been most generous in supporting local historical research - they supplied free lunch to all the ECU class that worked at the Caswell dig among many things. We do need to co-ordinate during the break as time will be short. Too bad they took the lowly hotdog off the menu - it was really good.

Martha, You mentioned in your email you were visiting Jackson lands along the Neuse. What Jackson might these be and what is this area?

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QUB.2ACE/883.1 Message Board Post: Ima Mewborn said that Shadrack Fields of Dobbs/Lenoir Co had a son Jesse bc 1805 - 1810 but no documentation. Think this is family tradition. She had no additional information on him other than he moved to Georgia. In addition family tradition states that the father, Shadrack, and sons Jesse, Bartholomew, and Thomas all went to Ga and Shadrack and Bartholomew returned to Lenoir Co. Maybe you are the "missing" Jesse. Shadrack married Mary (Polly) Farmer daughter of Jesse Farmer so the name fits. There are a number of Fields descendants on the Lenoir Co RootsWeb list. I descend from Shadrack's son William who was the sheriff of Lenoir Co for many years. Martha
