Sorry about Patty, she really did a bang up job for us. She is appreciated. That Guy is good and we all know about dear cousin Tracy!! Mary Lenoir

We had not planned on running this until Patty had a chance to notify the lists but it needs an explanation as to the delays. For personal reasons, Patty can no longer continue as our webmaster. She has done a first class job on developing this site and keeping up with it. Most of you have no clue to the time it takes to stay on top of a site that has grown as fast as this one. It leaves little time for anything else including research and most important, family matters. Patty is going to continue with the graphics and she will continue to have imput. There are not enough words to say how much we all appreciate her time and efforts on our behalf. THANK YOU, PATTY. Guy Potts has agreed to take over as the main webmaster but he needs some time to clear up some other projects he is working on and to learn a different system. I am also trying to find someone with a lot of patience to teach me how to do a website so I can help out. And Tracy has offered to help but she has so much already, would only use her in a pinch. Please just sit on everything for the time being. Patty had started cleaning up the site this summer but it needs to be refined more. We have come close to being a "victim of our success" and we need to sit down and take a look at where we want to go with the site. Again, our heartfelt thanks to Patty and also to Guy for keeping it going. Martha

Thanks so much Patty, the site is one of the REAL good ones in NC. Almost all the NC ones I have visited are good but these especially "take the cake". And we'll miss you Patty, but the start you have made will last and hopefully improve with time. Thanks too Martha, and another one to Guy for stepping in to fill the post.

Hey Tracy, My grandmother was Herma Hill. Her father was Jonas Hill married Penelope Francis Davenport. Her grandfather was John Hill m. Sallie Stroud and her great grandfather was Nathan Hill by his marriage to Eleanor "Laney" Cunningham. And your Cooper Hill was the son of Nathan Hill by his second marriage to Axie Smith. So ever how that translates. Kay

Yuck! :>) Would one of the lucky attendees ask a question for me--please? Ask about the 'Jones Fighting Guard'. My great-grandfather Isaac Huggins joined in Jones. I feel in my bones thats the name of the outfit he joined. Also, will we poor unfortunate souls :>) that aren't able able to attend get to read--even in general terms--what happened??

Thank you for your effort in looking up Hattie Arnold in Maryland for me. Althought the number didn't work any longer--I most certainly did appreciate your efforts. Sorry it took so long getting back to you. I may be getting just plain worthless in my old age--but....my heart is still good!! Mary Lenoir

Penelope was the daughter of Josiah Sr. and Nancy Hill Sutton as proven by the Josiah Bible which is probably posted on Lenoir archives. Josiah was the son of John and Elizabeth (surname unknown but suspect Aldridge) Sutton as proven by John Sutton's Will. Josiah was the brother of my Martha (Patsy) Sutton.

Martha, did not read through the whole book, so not sure which Elijah Smith it is, I can tell you that Cooper Hill is listed because of his wife Ella Elizabeth Smith. Found the book at Heritage Place, was looking to see if perhaps my Hogan Smith was listed (He is not) Tracy _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

Tracy, What Elijah Smith? I descend from an Elijah Smith of Wayne Co - on Walnut Creek and his wife Olivia Croom, widow of William Bryan. Have not really done a lot on the Smith family yet. Also, tradition says that Edwin Taylor who lived on Horse Branch down near Deep Run/Woodington married a Penelope Smith - have not verified that information either.
