Oh, but, even more important (in the long run) than the gold mines were the coal mines in the Moore, Lee & Chatham Co. area. Weren't they the main reason for the Cape Fear and Deep River Navigation Co.? But, wasn't it created to haul coal down to the coast? All along the Deep River, where it cuts down into Moore and then swings back up into Chatham there were coal mines. Someone out there, with more knowledge about it than I, can probably tell us. But, I believe the town of Gulf was mainly a coal mining town??

Yes, at least this is how I understand it. Placer mines are surface mines, and in creeks, where you pan for gold, rather than dig deep for veins in the ground and haul it to the surface to be crushed.

Actually the Henley Hill deep gold mine was the only one in Moore Co. I'm not sure when it played out. It was in use in 1800. The ones in Montgomery Co. were placer mines.This is according to the book "Gold Mining, North Carolina" by Richard F. Knapp & Brent D. Glass. You can get it from the state archives. Gold Hill is still in operation (for tourists at least) It is in Cabarrus Co.

I am seeking information on John OATES d.b. 8 Dec 1753 in Dobbs County North Carolina. He was living in Moore County in 1797. He is listed in the Moore County North Carolina Land Entry for that time period. Thank you Jacob L. Bateman III or Le Montgomery, Alabama
I have documented the migration of several families in western Bladen and adjoining eastern Robeson counties into Moore County from the mid 1830's to the 1840's. Does anyone know what was the attraction during that time period. Thanks. Sam West Lumberton [Robeson Co] NC
I am searching for info on a John H. Freeman found in the Moore Co. census of l820. I found another John H. Freeman in the l840 census of Montgomery Co. NC and I am trying to see if these are in fact the same person. Need any info on this family. Thanks Becky gbadue@cablenet-va.com
My Kings migrated from North Carolina to Alabama about 1830-31. I believe they settled in Lauderdale Co. at that time, but have no real proof they were in Lauderdale Co. until about 1845. In the 1840 Lauderdale Co., AL. census there is a James M. King who I believe to be my 3rd great grandfather, but I have no proof on this. I went to all the James King listings in the 1830 NC census index and there was 1 listing in Moore Co. It was suggested to me that since a lot of people who migrated to Lauderdale Co., AL. came from Moore Co., NC, I decided to check on this. I did check all the 1830 listings for the James King's in NC and the only one that matched the 1840 listing for James M. King in Lauderdale Co., AL. was the James King in Moore Co., NC. Now I know this doesn't mean they are the same person, but it gave me something to go on. My husband and I visited Moore Co., NC. a few months ago to check out the Kings there. I really didn't find anything that would tell me that these 2 James King's were the same. However, I did get some info on the Kings that were living there--such as census records and where they lived. If these 2 James Kings are the same then I think I can pinpoint who the father was. I am not going to my notes at this moment, but I believe it was a Robert King. I'm almost ashamed to say, but ever since I cam back from my trip to Moore Co., I haven't really studied the material that I got. So, I really just don't know if I have a connection to Moore Co. or not, but I will list a few names that I have and if anyone can make a connection I sure would appreciate hearing from you. My 3rd great grandmother was Catherine King (maiden name unknown) born circa 1806 in NC. Her husband is unknown, but as I said I believe him to be James M. King born circa 1790-1800 NC. Catherine and her husband had at least 8 children possibly 9. They were: Alexander King born circa 1826 NC William A. King born 1827 NC John J. Arnold King born 1830 NC Stephen Colin King born 1831 AL. Emeline King born circa 1835 AL. Joseph King born circa 1836 AL. George born circa 1839 AL. Doctor Luke E. King born 1843 AL. Possibly another daughter, Caroline King born circa 1830. Catherine was in the 1850 Lauderdale Co., AL. census with all these children, but Alexander and Caroline. They had already married with households of their own. There was no husband in the household, so I can only assume that her husband had died by this time or left for whatever reason. I just can't find anything in Lauderdale Co. about this--no guardianship records or administrator's records, wills, or anything. Catherine disappears after this census, as well as several of the children-namely Alexander,Joseph, and Caroline. Also, don't know what happened to Emeline. The others either migrated to Arkansas and Tennessee or stayed in Alabama. Any help appreciated. Judy K. Sanders

Hi, have tried to document if my grmo, Annie McLeod SELLARS b.12 April 1883, Anson Co.,NC was named after the legendary "Annie McLeod" or if we relate to the McLeod family. My grmo used the nickname "Clidie" her entire life, was the d/o William Brooks SELLARS and Mary Elimira CARTER. "Clidie" m. James Kenneth Hunt of Moore/Lee Co., NC. Any of this fit ??Thanks, Ann
Hi List, Many of you may have never seen or knew of, the digital archives/library for Moore Co. If not, you can now get to it from the sitemap of Moore Co. I have it listed near the top under "new additions" But, here is the URL for you to go directly. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nc/moore.htm Please consider sending some of your family's original data (bible records, obituaries, pensions, etc) to the archivist to be placed here. Think of the good it will do others and just might do good for you, too!! It's called 'networking' in the new computer age, idiom. (I think we used to call it 'sharing') <G> Sue Ashby County Coordinator, Moore Co. NC, USGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncmoore/
