Sarah, don't think I have the first entry below. Some of the Oxley's ended up in Lenoir as did the allied family of Parrott. I want to take a good look at that Humphrey Hardy this summer. There is a tie in with the Enloe and Sheppards of Pitt and Greene Counties. As I understand it, Humphrey had a son Joseph but not clear on this. Martha >From: "S.
