Going through "things," I found my mother-in-laws 1932 Yearbook for Central High School, Charlotte, NC - Snips and Cuts. Dr. Alexander Graham was Superintendent Emeritus; H. P. Harding was Superintendent of Charlotte City Schools; Elmer H. Garinger was Principal of Central High School; Emery Wister was a Senior and member of the Rambler Staff as Adv. Mgr. Pictures are still beautiful. Anyone have a relative there in 1932 as a Sophomore, Junior or Senior who would like a scanned picture?

Has anyone seen a Wilhelm bc 1880 m. Emma Skipper bc 1880 in Charlotte, Mecklenburg Co., NC.? Thanks, Joy
Could someone please help me out? I am looking for a William B. EDNEY/EDNY. He was born 1799-1800. He was 60 in the 1860 census, but 81 in the 1880 census. In AL at that time. He may be found in a Robert or John EDNEY household. Did those years census even give that much info? If these are online somewhere, just point me in the right direction, and I will look for him myself. Thanks for any and all help. Sincerely, Kay
Mecklenburg Co., NC: John McKee m. Agness Ramsey 18 Nov 1797; bondsman William Ramsey. Can anyone identify or have family records for this Mecklenburg couple? Interestingly, the family records of William and Agnes/Nancy (Boyd) Ramsey, Sr. on Long Creek does not list a daughter Agnes. Rutherford Co., TN: Ann/Annie Thomas Ramsey m. John B. McKee 2 May 1827. Annie Ramsey was a daughter of William and Agnes/Nancy (Boyd) Ramsey, Sr. of Mecklenburg Co., NC, who removed to Rutherford Co., TN by 1803. Annie Ramsey was born 25 May 1805, Rutherford Co., TN. Has anyone information for John B. McKee? Lee Ramsey

They had the following children: Mary "Polly" ...SAMUEL WILLIS... etc. CIRCUMSTANCIAL EVIDENCE: Samuel Miller of Mecklenburg Co., NC had by his first wife two daughters, POLLY and AGNESS MILLER. NOTE: "Nancy" is the Scottish nickname for Agnes. Also, note the traditional naming pattern with the early famlies: the first son was named in honor of the paternal grandfather, and in many families after the Rev. War. the maternal grandfather. James and Nancy (Miller) Knox named their first son Samuel. Samuel Miller, the father of Polly and Agness Miller, left his will in Mecklenburg Co., NC 11 July 1811, and was probated Aug 1811, which means the Nancy Miller of your query was about 11-12 yrs of age. Samuel Miller's 2nd wife was Rebecca (Cook?) Other children named in his will are: 1. Hugh Lawson Cook, 2. Elizabeth Amanda, 3. SAMEUL Graham, and 4. WILLIS.

I would like to make contact with descendants of members of the Parks family of Mecklenburg Co.--Moses (1738-1828), his son George (1783-1827), and George's sons James, Moses Allen, Hugh Moore, George Dickinson, etc. This family for several generations belonged to the Providence Presbyterian Church. One of the Parks descendants was Henry Edward Cowan "Red Buck" Bryant, for years a journalist with the Charlotte Observer. Also interested in descendants of Hugh and Jane Parks Grey (daughter of the James Parks mentioned above, who moved to Haywood Co. NC about 1858). Hugh Grey was on the faculty of Davidson College and Superintendent of Mecklenburg Co. schools. Two of the children of Jane and Hugh Grey were James Parks Grey and Lula Grey. The brother of Jane Parks Grey, William M. Parks (1835-1919) also may have descendants still in the area. His children were John (stepson), Henry, Charles, Walter, Ella and Emma.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the name Louisiana (POWELL) PATTON (1874-1963). Around 1900, she married John Thomas PATTEN (or PATTON). They had 3 children: William Thomas, Mattie May, and Sara Eleanor and appear in the 1910 census of Oconee County, SC. I believe that Louie moved up to the Charlotte, NC later and maybe her children went with her. Mattie May married a man named SAFELY and Sara Eleanor married a man named MCFADDEN. Louisiana is buried with J.T. Patton in Old Liberty Baptist Church, in Westminster, SC.
