Hi I apologize in advance if you receive duplicates of this as I am posting this on the Lenoir, Greene and Pitt County lists. I am researching the following surnames in Lenoir, Greene, and Pitt Counties: Baker, Parker, Powell/Hill Abe Baker married Susan Catherine Powell in Greene County, NC 1879 I have not been able to find out much about Abe except that his name was unique and may have be spelt Abidalli, Abadiah, Abdolie, Abeball. He however always went by Abe. Abe and Susan Baker children include: Grover "Cleveland", Joseph "Joe", Florence, Estella M.(adopted) Elijah Parker married 1st to Allie Cobb in Pitt Co. their children: Sue Parker Addie Parker Elijah Parker "was a Pastor" married 2nd Mary Jane Evans in Pitt Co., NC but later moved to Lenoir County as my grandmother Loty Parker was born there other children include: Frank, Lucy, Lunicy Ann, Della "Nannie", Fanny S., John Eddie, then my grandmother Loty Anna (she was the youngest of the family b. August 26, 1897) I believe that Susan Catherine Powell birth father may have been Benajah Hill, however he died when she was young. She and her mother and young sisters were found later with William Powell (I believe the mother married William Powell) her brothers were with other families. Susan than carried the Powell name thereafter she may be either listed with Hill's or Powell's. Do any of these names look familiar?

Guy is new on both lists. A special welcome to cousin Jack - I know who he is and he is on both lists. He has numerous Greene and Lenoir families and sent us a great file for Greene Co from Mississippi that refers back to Greene. He found list member Ruth F and we went from there and are still going. Would our new members post to the respective lists the families they are researching? Know of the Dunns, Potts, Hardys, Carrs, Exum, Holliday, Jordan, etc. Welcome to all of you. The Greene list has been especially active lately with new posts. Martha
