Sue went over to Duke on Monday and got this from microfilm. It is from Greene Co, Ga records and although it is Pitt most of these families spilled over into Greene and descendants are today in Lenoir. I am interested in the relationship of all these people especially the Bryans and Pughs since I have a Pugh/Bryan marriage and can't prove the earlier Bryan line. We really appreciate Sue doing this but as she said, it is going to take more work.

They must have come into property in Greene Co., and Hardy Handcock went there to take care of it. It could certainly well be that some of the men were husbands of the real heirs. It seems likely that he sold the property, so there might be another deed somewhere else. I asked the librarian if there was a deed index, and he said he didn't think so, but by the time I got home, he had called and left a message that he had found one. I wish I had known, so that I could have at least looked at it while I still had a good parking place! Sue

This is a flagrant advertisement.For those of you who visit Greene or Lenoir Co doing research and are there on a Saturday - you must go to Mr Willie's barbeque "shack". Best barbeque you have ever eaten but you had better be there by 11:30 am if you intend to eat. Mr. Willie Morris died a few years ago and his grandchildren took it over and thinking they knew better than grandpa, changed the sauce. They should not have messed with grandpa's sauce and according to Carolyn, have now seen the light. Pork barbeque is, of course, part of our heritage and it just has to be cooked over real hickory wood not gas. Willie's is just south of Hookerton on the back road into Lenoir Co. If you are there at l1:30, you can't miss it for all the cars parked out front on this roadside shack and believe me it is a shack. They only serve on Sat. and the menu is barbeque, slaw, hush puppies and a small selection of soft drinks. It has been almost a year without fresh barbeque and I am in withdrawal! Thanks to Carolyn for the update. Martha

Not really. Francis and Alexander Harper were on a deed together in Craven Co in 1743. One assumes at least Francis was of age. Legally Alexander should have been also. Alexander died between 1783 and 1785 according to records. William acquired a patent on behalf of the minor children of Alexander in 1785. The family was probably seated in Somerset Co, Md. Working on that angle. They were neighbors of the Tull family who went to Dobbs. Margaret is not on the 1790 census so either she was dead or living with someone. Don't know when she was born. There is also the question of whether Alexander had two wives - Margaret was proven to be the mother of those born between 1757 and 1775 but that would not include Francis and William. For the time being Francis and I are going with the assumption that she was the mother of all the children despite the rather wide number of years. Nothing gives us the surname of Margaret. We know the son Francis was a grandson of Alexander and Elizabeth Easley Kilpatrick. Alexander Kilpatrick moved from Henrico/Goochland Co, Va - who knows where he was born.

Boykin" <jrboykin@coastalnet.com> Subject: Sandy Bottom Recently, someone asked about the location of Sandy Bottom in Lenoir County. Jimmy Smith sent me directions to the Croom Meeting House located there so I could attend a reunion. Here are his directions if you would like to share them with the Lenoir List. Jackie Rouse Boykin Directions to Croom Meeting House in Sandy Bottom: From Greenville, Take NC 11 south to Kinston. At Kinston, NC 11 eventually becomes Tiffany Street. Turn right onto King Street which is still NC 11. Go straight about two miles to interseaction of NC 11 & US 70. Continue straight on NC 11 about 3 miles & you will see the Kinston Drag Strip on right(continue striaght). About 1/2 mile past the drag strip, is the intersection of NC 11 & NC 55(bear right on NC 55). Go approximately 4 miles and the Croom Meeting House is on the right. It is the first of three churches. It is a typical one room old church building with a picic shelter on the far side.

For those of you with families in the Sandy Bottom area in the early to mid 1800's and can get to ECU, you need to look at the Sandy Bottom Meeting House Collection. I had been told those records were destroyed but discovered yesterday they are at ECU - I assume the originals. Found a couple of pages dated ca 1830 in the Whaley folder at the DAR (only thing in it). Just scanned the pages and some of the surnames on the pages were: Westbrook Lofton, Whaley, Swinson, Gatlin, Whitfield, Gray, Wallace, Croom, Thompson, Cox, Taylor, Smith, Rouse, Caroline Hines, Ellis. Don't know about Sandy Bottom but Mewborn's kept genealogical records to die for - marvelous obits in the records that list parents, grandparents, children etc. Transcribing those records would be a great project - for someone.

Brenda, I get those several times a week for Lenoir and Greene so you will get use to them. You would not believe some of the subjects but so far ROOTSWEB has stopped all of them - wish my ISP would. Roots does an excellent job of stopping them but one day something is going to get through and we will all just have to ignore it. ALL OF YOU DO NEED TO KEEP THIS IN MIND. It will also on occasion stop a legitimate post if it does not like the subject line, so you have to read each spam message. Stopped one of my own posts last year and had to change the subject line before resending. It is one of the great advantages of the ROOTSWEB organization.

Francis has made an interesting observation on writing style that thought some of you would be interested in. He is referring to the article that Pat A. posted from the 1910 issue of the Free Press.

The industrial Issue is coming along nicely. Several more sections went out yesterday - that only leaves one to assign. Our thanks to new volunteers - Rosalyn, Rose, Annette and Heather who are all doing sections as their time allows. Christine has culled the Marriage information from some of the sections and Guy has posted it under Marriages - thanks Christine and Guy. Patty is going to be working on the pictures which is another BIG project. The pictures of people are coming out pretty well but some of the others aren't. I will try to refrain from finding any more major projects in the near future - the stress in getting it done has gotten overwhelming.
