I recently joined An.com and am having trouble with getting the info it said is available.Ex-when I make a hit in the census info , I try to access it it just gives me a bunch of "gibberish"-I can't get the info. I am new so may be some of you more experienced researchers could give me an idea as to what is going on with this site. I'd appreciate any help. So far I'm pretty disappointed in my investment.

Linda, Thank you very much. This is the family I'm looking for. Debbie S

I have been going back through the Abstracts book (curiosity more than anything) and ran into the following: Abstract of will of Dorcas Whiteside P234 Dorcas Whiteside, 4 Jul 1819, prb in Aug 1819 Ct. by Dr. Wm. Macklean. I, Dorcas Whiteside, alias Dorcas Thompson, spinster, being in a low state of health, will to my mother Jane Whiteside, after all my just debts are paid, all the remainder of my estate � money, securities, goods, chattal, and personal effects. It is my hope that she will distribute a part of my clothing among my female relations. Sole exr: Friends Stephen McCowon. Wit: (Dr.) Wm. Macklean, Jurat, and Samuel Neely, Jurat. Isaac Alexander. CMC. (What does this one mean? "alias Dorcas Thompson, spinster?" She has the name Whiteside and refers to her mother as Whiteside, she has a surname of Whiteside alias Thompson, says she is a spinster so Thompson is not her married name � like the bit about giving clothes to her female relations, almost sounds like an "early Gertrude Stein". Maybe her mother married a Thompson, then a Whiteside; also maybe her father was a Thompson and she is illegitimate). Also found this in the appendix: Following are listed in the appendix as being testators whose wills were abstracted and published in book by Brent Holcomb Jennings Thompson 1785 D-26 (page 67 in Holcomb book) John Thompson 1790 D-109 (page 68) Thomas Thompson 1781 D-120 (page 68) Unfortunately I don't have the book but let me know if you need the complete title etc.

I received a copy of the Benjamin Rush Smith family in the 1850 census. (MSteel Creek District) Unfortunately, I can't read the copy. Did someone say there was a transcribed copy out there somewhere? Debbie S.

I am searching for information about Mary Wilson. A book I read said she was from a prominent family of South Carolina Presbyterian ministers. By reading about Presbyterian ministers, I have found a family of Wilson with a lot of ministers. The family I found was in Lincoln CO., NC, but it could be the right one any way, since Lincoln CO. NC, is close to SC. Does anyone have any information on how she is related to the prominent family of Presbyterian ministers??

These are my HOWSER relatives. Robert Ward HOWSER died in Charlotte, NC, in Nov of 1947. I know his brother Roy HOWSER also lived in Charlotte, NC, for some period of time. ( I have seen newspaper clipping where Roy, Jr. was killed in the WAR from a Charlotte, NC newspaper). Are there any HOWSER's left in Charlotte, that recognize these people? I am really wanting to know about the descendants of siblings of Robert Russell HOWSER, if anyone knows about them.

The following information came from the obit of Annie Laura Ozment REESE. The obit clearly stated the late John and Mary (SAWYER) OZMENT were from Charlotte, NC. My problem is that I keep finding a John and Mary (COLLIER) OZMENT of Charlotte, NC. Does anyone know this family?? Does anyone know if this John's wife could have been a COLLIER, instead of a SAWYER?? or could John have had a previous wife, who happened to be named Mary also?? Or could Mary have had a previous marriage before she married John OZMENT??

Hi, My Wilson cousins have said that William Wilson & Elizabeth (Wishart) Harshay Wilson had: John & William Some pages I received from Yates Publishing give these two sons and a daughter Isabel...certainly not proven yet. Since I descend from the first Wishart daughter, Mary, I have to check with the Wilson cousins for answers on Elizabeth's families. That's why it takes longer to answer. Will keep looking. Kathy Hook

I looked this up for you in the 1850 census and John C. Weddington is listed with his wife Elizabeth but they do not have any children at this time. What exactly are you looking for ? Oh, this is found on roll 637 p.91 and they were listed in Mecklenburg Co. NC. I also looked on my CD index and John C. is listed on quite a few CD with Family Tree Maker. Hope this helps.

Hi, I have a James Washington Wilson b. May 16, 1818 Abbeville Co., SC. Could that be the one? He married Jane Louise Stone? These are the same Wilson's---NC/SC. Joy

Hello: I was just reading the census lookup responses for the 1850 North Carolina lookups. Can someone please do a lookup in the familytreemaker file and see if you can find the following person: John C. Weddington, b. 1824, died 5 July 1900 in Mecklenburg County. John was a farmer and resided in Union County, N.C. He married Elizabeth Hartt on 24 April 1849 in Union County. Both John and Elizabeth are buried in the Philadelphia Presbyterian Church cemetery, Mint Hill, N. C. John had one son who was William Green Weddington who was my Grandfather. Any assistance is most appreciated. Warm Regards, Bill Weddington (Billprog&AOL.com)

We are interested in your Henry line. A George Washington Henry who migrated to middle Tennessee early 1800's is an ancestor. Are you familiar with this name or the families of Henry who moved to TN? Barb

Lynn, I have checked with my Wilson cousins and they are not aware of a Pamela - but, we'll keep on looking. Sorry. Kathy Hook

I'm not sure about Cyrus D. Alexander. I only knew about Isaac because I found him in one of J.B. Alexander's books on the history of Mecklenburg Co. and made a note of him since I had seen his name on so many documents. cheers, tim ----- Original Message ----- From: Betty Lovell <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2000 11:35 AM Subject: Re: [NCMECKLE] Isaac ALEXANDER > Tim was Cyrus D Alexander a Clerk he appears on my > ggrandparents marriage ? > Thanks > Betty
