Will written in 1829 and probated at the April 1831 Court in Lenoir County. He named his heirs as: my son David, my beloved wife Zilpha, my daughter Olivia Lofton, my grandson Joshua Nunn Lofton, my granddaughter Zilpha Ann Lofton, my daughter Alice Hargett, my grandson Peter Joshua Hargett, my granddaughter Olivia Hargett, my son John. Son in law Peter Hargett was named as executor of the estate I don't suppose anyone has a copy of this will or knows where there is a copy. All I have is an abstract. Zilpha was the daughter of David and Jemima Hardee and grandaughter of Col John Hardee of Pitt Co. The two sons David and John (Jack) had already moved to Tenn by the time their father died. I have no clue what happened to the two girls. Olivia married Giles Loftin. Alice married Peter Hargett. Son David married Alice/Elsie Koonce and John/Jack married Anna Beasley both wives of Jones County. Christine, note that John/Jack and Anna had a son Buckner Hardy Nunn. That name is sure popping up a lot lately. Martha

NOTE: This is NOT what MyFamily has said in writing. Maybe they are changing their tune. THey should have learned from Geocities. Martha MESSAGE FROM THE ROOTSWEB HOME OFFICE by Jake Gehring, Executive Producer, RootsWeb.com Wow, what a week it has been. The messages have really been flying. In an effort to improve communication from RootsWeb to you (and vice versa), I will be sending out a message every so often which addresses current issues on the RootsWeb site. The RootsWeb staff has received lots of questions since the merger of Ancestry.com and RootsWeb.com last summer, and I think there's a general need for our users to have regular information on RootsWeb's efforts to provide valuable services to the genealogical community. I also want to make a few comments about our new message boards system which was launched last week. We're grateful for the excellent feedback many of you have provided. The feedback has been generally positive when addressing the value of the combined datasets and the increased search functionality. However, I also recognize that any significant change requires some getting used to and may create some temporary inconvenience and frustration. I would like to address some of the concerns we've heard from you, the users. By popular request, we will shortly add the ability for users to filter by message category within a message board (for queries, obituaries, deeds, etc.). For the benefit of the message board administrators, we are extending the board re-adoption deadline from July 15 to July 23. There is some confusion about RootsWeb's position regarding the ownership of messages posted on the boards. Let me clarify by excerpting from the Acceptable Use Policy, which reads, "When you post messages to mailing lists, message boards, and other facilities at RootsWeb, those posts remain your property under copyright law." The same is true for those using the message boards at Ancestry.com. In short, if you posted it, you own it. As far as the message boards or any other RootsWeb features are concerned, if you're not happy, we're not happy. Please continue to give us your comments and concerns at http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/help.cgi or at [TWO-LINE URL] http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=RootsWeb-20- Topics-20-and-20-Localities.AdminCenter.suggestions In the meanwhile, experiment with the newly merged message boards. You might discover some previously buried information or make an invaluable connection that will enable you to leap over a proverbial genealogical brick wall problem that you had almost given up on solving. * * * * *

Can any one help with info on Maj.Tisdal's command NC in the war of 1812. My Ruben Oxley was a member of this. Thank you Red Peters in Texas

Wes, Have not looked at this in years. What little I have is below. Dennis O'dier ended up in Johnston but can't remember exactly what part of Johnston he lived in. See bottom. Exactly where this Robert lived, I am not sure but the Islers and Reynolds were in what is today Jones Co. What was the relationship between Stephen of IOW and the immigrant Robert?

Wes, As you probably know, there was an earlier Robert Coleman d Ca 1721 in Craven Co from whom many of us descend through his daughter Elizabeth who married Christian Isler. Robert Married Mary O/Dier so they say. I think that Robert was also out of Nansemond. Only place I have seen the O'Dier name was in Westmoreland Co, Va in connection with the Hardy family that moved to Bertie and Gabriel O'Dier had no sons. THere are no indications that Robert Coleman had any sons.

List, I have a Robert Coleman of Edgecombe County who relocated to Dobbs County. I believe I may have his ancestors. I am interested in his wife, his will, and his descendants. I noted a deed to Robert Coleman mentioned in a post by Martha Marble on June 11, 2000 to this list which is quoted below. I am also interested in Theophilus Coleman mentioned in another post by Martha I found in the USGenWeb archives for the state of North Carolina wherein she mentions: R. Israel (Israel R.) Florida sold land to Theophilus Coleman by deed recorded on page 488 of the Johnston/Dobbs/Lenoir Counties Grantor Index - Book 4 - 1756 - 1757. Again, I believe I have the ancestors of Theophilus Coleman and would be interested in his wife, his will, and his descendants. While Robert and Theophilus are closely related, I do not believe they are closely related to L.L. Coleman, his son Blount Coleman, or Blount's offspring. I believe Robert and Theophilus are descended from Robert Coleman of Nansemond County Virginia who first bought land in 1684. If anyone has information on these two Colemans, Theophilus & Robert, of Dobbs/Lenoir County, please contact me. Thanks.

If there is a deed in Bertie it should give the land description. It could have been in Dobbs. Will check the Cross Index. Below is what I did from the Cross Index years ago and it was probably done from the Grantee Index so who knows what I missed. Don't see any indication of anything from the Henderson estate but that would be in the Craven deeds, not Dobbs. What I haven't done is cull from Hoffman's books or Craven deeds the early entries for these people. Martha ROUSE -- GRANTOR/GRANTEE FROM TO <snip> BOOK 9 William Row John Faulk Christian & ?

On the 1840 Lenoir Census was Wright Nunn - one male 40-50 - NO females. There were young children in his household in 1830 but not sure if those children were his and if they lived. Not sure yet that I have any stray Nunn's in the county. Without question all those children on the 1850 census were Hines not Nunns. The Wright Nunn line is not well documented as is the case with my line. Only two that arent. I have to do mine on process of elimination.

Her original Collection is hidden in the attic at the Kinston Public Library. I have gone through 2 boxes but not the rest. Have to be careful with her information. Without question she had access to Bibles, deeds old people that are now lost.

Christine, Sybil Hyatt's information said Wright Nunn married Elizabeth Westbrook and then Nancy Hines. No documentation. He did appear to have two wives according to the census. His 2nd wife was Nancy and no doubt she was a Hines widow. On the 1850 Lenoir Census is Wright, Nancy and a bunch of children - all with Hines names but they are listed in the printed census as Nunns. On one side of them is Daniel Hines and the other is Barbara Hines - who was a Hardy if I recall correctly. On the other side of Barbara is Jesse Hardy, think her father. The "Nunn" children listed were Henry 14, Buckner 12, Charles 10, Mary A. 7, Daniel 3. On the 1860 Census, Daniel is still in the household listed as a Hines and there are three small Nunn children. Any idea who Nancy was and who her Hines husband was? Thanks. Martha

Tracy - should have asked earlier but since I rarely work further south than NC forgot it - what were the other six for our other members?

I want to say thanks to all of the hard workers that make these sites so good. Have had several comments on the Old Dobbers site. Many have found my Wiggins and Uzzell information there and written to me. I assume if this gets back to me, I'm ok. Haven't had any problems I know of with other messages, except one with attachments of a photo and GEDCOM.... Rose

Anyone working on the Aretas Jones - son of James and Frances Winset line? THeir son Lewis married Matilda Nunn and was fixing to enter their children from the Bible and realized I have an awfully lot of identical names on the database with no dates that might their children. Only interested in the children, dates and their spouses of Lewis and Matilda Nunn Jones. My interest is the Nunn family. Martha
