Hello fellow researchers, It has been several months since I last offered to share some of the more important research items discovered during my study of the Scotch-Irish.  Because of the amount of time required to copy and mail these items I will only be able to do this once a year. ( I make my living selling real estate)  You will find three new items listed below as well as the original items listed in my January post. Rockbridge County, Virginia Notebook, Compiled from Articles by Dr. George W. Diehl as published in the News-Gazette, Lexington, Virginia.  Additional charts and notes have been added as well as a surname index.  Compiled by A. Maxim Coppage III, 242 pages. For a number of years, the late Dr. George W. Diehl contributed historical and genealogical articles to the News-Gazette, Lexington, Virginia, published by M.W. Paxton, Jr.  The clippings from the paper were sent to Mr. Coppage for the "Virginia Collection"  In many instances information may be found showing where families originated in Scotland or Ireland, the places lived before settling in the Rockbridge County, Virginia area and the relationships between various clans or as Dr. Diehl so aptly named this phase of pioneering, "A Rockbridge Seed-box." "A Tribute to the Principles, Virtues, Habits and Public Usefulness of the Irish and Scotch Early Settlers of Pennsylvania," Chambersburg, Pa. Printed by M. Kiefer & Co. 1856, 171 pages. >From the prefece the following:  "The writer of the Tribute contained in this work, had long desired to see from the Historical publications in Pennsylvania, a vindication of the character and principles of the Irish and Scotch early settlers of this great State and their descendants against reproach, as well as aspersion, cast upon them in some modern publications having pretensions to Historical accuracy"....Lots of detail on the early members of the church as well as problems with the Indians and the struggle over land rights during the westward expansion. The Scotch-Irish In The Colonies: 1750-1790 A Thesis Presented for the Degree of Master of Arts by Kathryn R. Aikin, A.B., The Ohio State University, 1933 Contents include Introduction, Early Settlements, Daily Life on the Frontier, Educational and Religious Activities, Military Pursuits, and Political Participation and Conclusion.  Also a GREAT Bibliography, the most important part of any thesis. Listed below are the other books and manuscripts previously offered to the various surname lists that are predominately Scotch-Irish: The Laggan and its Presbyterianism and In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery, 1905,1908, by the Rev. Alexander Lecky, B.A., member of the Royal Sociey of Antiquaries of Ireland, Belfast, Davidson & McCormack, 54 Kings St.  211 pages    On our recent trip to Donegal we met J.B. Shannon, age 90, who assisted in the 1975 reprinting of this book.  He is the last living person who had anything to do with these books and he says they are still the BEST source for Ulster Presbyterian research.  From Lecky I quote, "The lists of names of former generations of Lagganeers, and their places of abode, that are given in the Appendixes, and which NEVER before appeared in print, whilst they may of necessity prove dull reading to those who have no acquaintance with the locality, will not, I hope, be altogether uninteresting to those who bear the same name, or live in the same places..." Fighters of Derry, Their Deeds and Descendants, being a Chronicle of Events in Ireland during the Revolutionary period 1688-1691, by William Young, Eyre and Spottiswoode, London, 350 pages.    One of the most difficult sources to locate, in fact almost impossible.  Months worth of reading and packed with great genealogy.  Contains the following biographical sketches:    1.  The leaders of the County Associations who, with their levies, took part in the preliminary operations and contributed much of the man power for the Defence. 2.  The Apprentice Boys and those responsible for shutting the gates on the 8th Dec. 1688. 3.  The actual Defenders during the 105 day siege (over 1200 genealogical sketches) 4.  Those engaged in the relief of the city A History of the Siege of Londonderry and Defense of Enniskillen in 1688 and 1689, with Historical Poetry and Biographical notes, by the Rev. John Graham, M.A. Rector of Magilligan in the Diocese of Derry.  Includes the Battles of the Boyne, Athlone, and Aughrim and the siege and Capitulation of Limmerick by Lord McCaulay, Toronto, 1869    The historical poems are family genealogies about those who were at Derry and where they came from.  Along with "Fighters of Derry" these two sources contain more actual genealogical information than any others I have seen. Three Hundred Years in Innishowen, Being More Particularly an Account of the Family of Young of Culdaff with Short Accounts of Many Other Families Connected with Them, by Amy Young, 1929, The Linenhall Press, Belfast, 311 pages.    Some of the names included are Young, Hart, Harvey, Cary, Vaughan, McLaughlin, Skipton, Richardson, Knox, Ussher, Smith, Nesbitt, Chichester, Ball, Lawrence, Crofton, Boyd, Stuart and many others. The Laggan and its People, by S.M. Campbell, privately printed. A look at the history of the Laggan (Presbyterian Derry/Donegal) through the eyes of a local historian. Draws on local lore, Abercorn papers, records from PRONI. The Tinkling Spring: Headwater of Freedom, A Study of the Church and Her People, 1732-1952, by Howard McKnight Wilson, 1954, Fisherville, Virginia 542 pages    The best source of information on the Scotch-Irish of Augusta/Rockbridge Counties in Virginia.  Includes the Baptismal Records of the Rev. Craig.  In-depth study of the early families of the Shenandoah Valley. Castle's Woods: Frontier Virginia Settlement, 1769-1799, a thesis presented to the Faculty of the Department of History, East Tennessee State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of master of Arts, by James W. Hagy, 1966, 150 pages.    The most popular of the documents offered, this covers the families who settled in Russell county, Virginia when it was considered the frontier.  If your ancestors came through southwestern Virginia, this document is the history of your family.  Contains information on specific families as well as the farmers, speculators, artisans, and preachers who resided there.  Lots on the Indian battles that were a daily feature of life on the frontier.  Names like Russell, Walker, Porter, Cowan, Houston, Boone, Montgomery, Fraley, Thompson, Anderson, Kilgore, and 50 or so other "Scotch-Irish" families make this an invaluable resource for your family history. The Reverend Samuel Houston, V.D.M., by George West Diehl, 1970, McClure Publishing Co. 125 pages History of the early Virginia Presbyterians through the life of the Rev. Samuel Houston, kin to Sam Houston of Texas fame. The Stirling Merchant Gild and Life of John Cowane, founder of Cowane's Hospital in Stirling, by David B. Morris, Town Clerk, Stirling, Jamieson & Munro, LTD. 1919, 367pages. This is really two books in one.   The first part deals with the Gild. Laws, history, struggle with Unfreemen and with the Crafts, Administration, Merchandising, Conditions of entry, etc. and the second part which is about the life of John Cowane, Dean of the Gild and his contributions to it. Well there you have it.  The best documents I have found.  If you are interested in obtaining any of the above items (I would like to make copies for free but I can't) contact me at cscunc@aol.com for  details. Regards, Robert Cowan 525 Harrogate Rd. Matthews, North Carolina 28105

Hello ALL, Due to health and other personal considerations, I have ceased my major genealogy activities. I have for a number of years researched the surnames CADDELL (& variations inc CALDER), GREEN, HENDERSON, ANDERSON, GREER, BANKS, BATTLE(S), BELL, BU(I)RCHFIELD, KENNAMER, KING, and SINGLETON wherever they lived. For any of you who desires further contact with me, I may still be reached at "bcaddell@hcnews.com". Shortly I will not be subscribed to any of the Rootsweb lists.

There are some guardianship records in Moore County; a few items that survived the fire Guardian Book D 1833-1849 Guardian Returns Book E 1848-1856 Wills Book A May 1795 - May 1819 Wills Book B May 1819 - Jan 1853 Wills Book C Apr 1853 - Oct 1867 Wills Book D Nov 1868 - Oct 1898 Inventories and Sales Book B 1820-1832 Inventory Book D 1837-1844 Inventory Book E 1844-1848 Inventory Book F 1848-1851 Inventories and Accounts Book H 1856-1862 A place to check are court minutes. Unfortunately there is no complete index of names (I'm working on it). The surviving court records are numerous despite the fire. So far I've transcribed and indexed the 1835-1849 Superior Court Minutes, 1840 is roughly transcribed, and a rough transcription 1847 Pleas and Quarters Session (April Term). Hope this helps

Hi, Could someone tell me what records are available in Moore county? I recently received the will of whom I believe to be my husband's ancestor, a Benton Drake, who died in 1824. It mentions children but does not name them. I do want proof that he is the father of my husband's John Drake. John would have been about 18 when his father died. Are there any guardian's records that survived the fire? And how did this will survive? I did receive it from the NC Archives. Thank you. Lois Haile heartbar@quik.com

Dear Group, Does anyone recognize this Robert GRAHAM? He is the father of Leah GRAHAM wife of Michael BRYANT. Does anyone know who his wife was or more about his children? Robert GRAHAM lived on McLENDON Creek. Thanks, Cathy Farris Robert GRAHAM Sr born about 1745? died in Moore Co. by August court 1803 Wife____? Children: George GRAHAM born ca. 1763 Thomas GRAHAM born ca 1765 Leah GRAHAM born ca. 1767 married Michael BRYANT James GRAHAM born ca. 1768 Robert GRAHAM Jr. born ca. 1769 Carson GRAHAM born ca. 1771 female

For Group and Archives, I just found this paper after 5 years. Does anyone know this Needham BRYANT? Cathy Farris 1825 12 Dec. Land Record Moore County N.C. Needham BRYANT North Carolina Comptroller's Office Dec. 12th 1825 It appears from a Receipt of the Treasurer, lodged in this Office, that Needham BRYANT has paid the Purchase Money for an Entry of Land of 100acres in the county of Moore which Entry is No 2035-2036. Jo Han ? ?

Michael BRYANT Needham BRYANT A.W. KINNON D.J.? ?? Surveyor (There is a diagram drawn on this copy...cathy) This Needham is probable son to Michael BRYANT and Leah GRAHAM. This Needham should be born about 1797= 28 years old. If this Needham is brother to Michael, he would be about 48 years old. ACTION: Check Moore County 1830 Census to see if Needham son or brother is there. The back side of this copy are notes from Louise FULLER. "This Needham was buying land in Moore as early as 1817; usually, had to wait 6 months to 3 yrs. Note Michael's land entered for it 1796. But was 1800 before was in his name. There are 3 more land grants for Needham in Moore I choose this one because it showed how close Needham lived to Michael. The others were 50ac Head of Mall Br; 50ac both sides Yadkin Road; 100ac beside Muttoney Creek. Tuesday I'll try to determine the age. I feel it is the brother who has left Bertie after Olive dies we will see".
