Hi, I have just subscribed to the Orange County list serve. On the website I found some names of individuals who listed their email address with the Hopkins surname. The first three appear to no be using the same email address or are no longer involved. There were two others that were listed and I have sent them a similar message. I am trying to find information on our Hopkins line. It is believed that they were in Orange County in the Early to Middle 1700s. By the middle 1800s they ended up in Cedar County, Missouri. Let me list some of my family line and a little information. If you can provide any information or documentation it would be greatly appreciate and I would be happy to compensate you for your time. James Hopkins - Believed to have come from Wales and died in Orange County in 1758 or 59 William Hopkins - son of James born about 1736. It is believed that he married Jane Bolling but this is only family hearsay. He had one child that we are positive of and that is James Hopkins (b. 17 June 1765, d. 1849). He was born in Orange County and married twice...once to Peggy woods and the other to Elizabeth Billingsley ( in Rowan county about 1795). He may have had two other children with Peggy Woods. One is Andrew (b. 1761) and the other is John B. (b. 1770). With his second wife, Elizabeth Billingsley he had 8 children. Solomon Hopkins (b. 13 Mar 1813, d. 20 Sep 1853). Solomon married Mary Hartly (b. 9 Oct 1813, d. 8 Aug 1896). By this time the family was in Tennessee. Once again, I appreciate your time in reading this email and if you might be able to direct me to or provide any information on the individuals listed in Orange County....if that is the correct county. Most of this information comes from Family history and some from a book by Reva Bruhn called "Hopkins Forever". Thanks so much Michael

We've recently begun researching our Wilkerson family in Orange County, found her marriage, but have not been able to trace her (or him) back any farther. Charlotte Wilkerson m. Jno. Whitfield 3 Sep 1857 Orange Co NC Charlotte was the daughter of William Ansel Wilkerson & Elizabeth Madison, married in Granville County. It's not clear yet whether the family relocated or it was just a matter of changing county boundaries. We have a great deal of information on descendants, wonder if anyone else has these folks in their family tree. Elsa in Allegany County, Maryland

Apparently, dog tags from individuals who served in Vietnam who were either missing in action, killed in action, or simply individuals who lost their tags are being sold in Ho Chi Min City on the streets. There are a group of blessed individuals who are buying these up and making them available free of charge to family members of these individuals. The site is called www.founddogtags.com. I hope it can be of help to you or your loved ones.

I found a very old picture in the bottom of my mothers cedar chest and of course no one knows who it is. There is a signature on the back but I am unable to read it. If anyone is well versed in reading old writing I would appreciate if you would have a look at it and see if you can make it out. It can be seen at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~pics Click on "unknown 5". If it is any help the picture is of a woman. I may be contacted at [email protected] Thanks, Chris

1 July 2001 James CLARK born about 1760 died 2 May 1844 Orange County, North Carolina. Seeking information on his daughter Sarah who married Joseph Dunn HUGHES. Does anyone have information on James CLARKs' will or probate records? Would like to prove the connection of James CLARK to Sarah CLARK and Sarah to Joseph HUGHES. I believe Sarah was previously married, probably to another HUGHES as her four children use that surname and are mentioned in Josephs' will as "her children", seperate from his own eight. Thanks for any information. Lord Bless. John Hughes [email protected] www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/3374
