Hi folks Have added the following marriage record and have a question as well: John T. LEWIS To Julia DUNN 1877 Marriage Record Image Surnames Mentioned In Record Are: INGRAM, LEWIS, DUNN, MORRIS, ROBINSON Can be seen at the following URLs: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cranford/mont0000.html http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cranford/lewispag.html Ok, here is my question. I am hunting my 3rd great grandfather who was John T. LEWIS, born about 1817 (possibly in Montgomery) listed on census in Montgomery as follows: 1850 Montgomery County, NC census enumerated on the 29th day of August as follows: 406 408 John Lewis age 33 male farmer, born in NC Wincy Lewis age 27 female, born in NC Martha J. Lewis age 7 female born in NC Tera E. Lewis age 4 female born in NC Palestine Lewis age 2 female born in NC And in 1880 he is as follows: Enumerated by W. G. Brandshaw on June 3, 1880, page 6, house number: 48, Troy Township. House # 48 John Lewis, age 64, farmer Wincy, age 58, wife, keeps house W. R. age 24, son D. C. age 26, daughter A. J. age 22, son Living next door at house # 47 is E.B. Jordan, age 26, farmer Living next door at house # 49 is Jefferson Cranford, age 18, farmer (son in law of John Lewis) Living next door at house # 50 is W.M. Lewis, age 33, farmer. My John T. LEWIS was married to Wincy BRUTON, daughter of James Ozier BRUTON and Dianna PARSONS. Now I am trying to find the parentage of my John T. LEWIS. Am wondering if maybe his full name may have been John Thomas Lewis, but at this point, I have no proof of a middle name. On the above marriage record, I am wondering if maybe there is a possible connection to my John. If anyone can help place my John with parents or direct me in any way, I would deeply appreciate it.

Hi folks, While I am working these marriage records, I would also like to ask the list if you all would prefer to keep the [NCMONTGO] as the header (guess that is what you call it) that goes on the subject line of each message that comes to the list. Some like it as it tells them that mail has come in from the list and others do not. Example, my last message's subject line read as follows: [NCMONTGO]HARPER/HALL marriage Please email me off the list and let me know what your opinion is, to keep or not to keep. Email me at pastseeker@nc.rr.com I will keep it private and run a tally. At the end of the week, Sunday, I will announce whether we keep or dump. This list is all of the members list and your thoughts count, so jot me off a note when you can.

Hi folks, I am back. This was the fastest research trip I have ever taken. Lea Morris, member of this list, met me yesterday at the Register of Deeds office and gave me a hand. Thank you, Lea!! Between the two of us, we copied the entire folders for 1891 to 1893 marriage records. I also went office today and copied about 5 inches of wills. Am 200.00 poorer but very happy and I will post all to the website and announce all to the list when I get these records online. I hope that some of these records will help you all and that will make it even more worthwhile. Will try to get as much as I can worked up and online before May 2nd when I will have to stop due to my neck being operated on that day. Then I will be out of action for about a month, but back at it as soon as I can. I had zero luck at the library, so all that I gathered came from the Deeds office and the will office.
