> > >Frances, > My main interest in the Enloe is Abraham who married Susannah Hardee and whose daughter married Abraham Sheppard. There are too many questions as to whether this was the Susannah who md 2nd Major Croom. Just what I am trying to find out is if there were two Abraham Enloes of about the same age in the area. As well as two Abraham Sheppards. > >I am sort of just feeding information to the Enloe researchers and going to let them try to put it together. A. Deason is going to take a look at the Richland Co, SC records and see what she can find on the Sheppards that moved from Greene Co. Since they were on the lawsuit to partition the estate of Hardee Croom and living in SC, there just might be a copy of the original lawsuit in SC. If so, that would break open some of the nagging questions about two of the most prominent families in NC at the time - Col John Hardee of Pitt and Major Croom of Lenoir. > >Jean said there was a Henry born in 1740 said to be a son of Abraham Enloe and his Deason wife, but she does not think so. > >You will note the name Anthony Enloe also shows up in the Abraham/Elizabeth Deason line. Looks to me like several members of this family moved to Eastern NC. Knew Hyde Co was going to have to be researched but looks like Craven might also. I have the deed books through Book 32 on microfilm here at the DAR and will take a look at the index. > >Actually will send the printout in a separate email. You might want to work with the other two since it looks like you might have an Enloe line. > >Martha > > > >At 09:13 PM 5/18/01, you wrote: >> >>Martha: Read with great interest your message concerning the >>Enloe family.
