I am looking for anyone who knows about a Paul A. Darst born September 15, 1911 and died February 26, 1987. He is buried in the Raleigh National Cemetery, Wake Co., NC.

Thanks. Barbara

The Hillsborough RECORDER was published from the 1820s - at least those are the ones on microfilm. There are microfilms of these papers at most record libraries, such as Wake Forest U in W-S.

I am searching for information on my ggg-grandfather Humphrey Moody Williams who was born in Hillsborough, Orange County, NC on 9/15/1838. I have no further information at this time. I do know he married Lucinda Lunceford in Franklin County in 1838. If anyone has any information, I would be most appreciative to receive clues. Thanks Vicci

I thought I would re-post this again as the list seems to be active these days. I am still searching for information on my ggg-grandmother, Candis Queen Clark. According to census information Candis was born in NC about 1814. Candis married Robert Rhodes in 1837 in Orange Co., NC. Candis and Robert had children: Francis, William, Eliza, Teresa, Alexander, Unity, and John. Candis and family lived in Orange Co., according to the 1840, 1850 & 1860 censuses in the part that became part of Durham Co. Robert died about 1863. I cannot find Candis on the 1870 census but do find her in 1880 in Nash Co., NC living with daughter Unity, son John, and 1 grandchild, Dover (Unity's daughter). I cannot find anything else on her. I would like to find names of parents and siblings. Also, when and where she died and is buried. I would think she is probably buried w/ husband, Robert but do not know the location of his grave either. The name Candis Queen Clark seems rather unusual to me and would think it would catch someone's eye if they ran across it. If anyone has any information on a Candis Clark or Candis Rhodes I would appreciate hearing from you. I may be contacted directly at [email protected] Thanks, Chris

Can anyone tell me the newspapers that would have been used in Hillsborough, NC (walnut grove church area) between the times of 1800 to 1920? Also, where can I find copies or microfilm of them? I went to the Orange County library but they dont have everything on file or didnt at that time. I am researching the families of Jordan Cary and his wife Sally "Parker" Cary that lived 1 mile from Walnut Grove Church. Jordan was born approx 1805. Several of his descendents are buried at the church and on private property near the church. Anyone interested in his family can contact me at [email protected] Also, has anyone ever heard of Cary mountain in that area? Thanks, Wendy Randall

It is now called Ellerbee Creek. It rises just w of the Durham city limits near I-85 Exit 172 and floes ne thru Duham to the Neuse R. roughly paralleling I-85. It was once called Elliby or Alliby Creek, according to The NC Gazetteer.

Can someone help me locate the Elibee's Creek mentioned in the following will? The Orange County, North Carolina Wills Vol. Two, 1775 - 1787 contains the following: Will Book A, page 350, Deed of Gift from John May to James Desern: I, John May of Orange County and state of North Carolina, for the love and kind affection that I have and do bear towards James Desern, my son-in-law, have granted to him the plantation and part of the tracts of land where I now live, beginning at the north of my spring branch on Elibee's Creek, running up the various courses of the spring branch to the road, thence running a north course to John Raker's corner, thence a west course to John Vicker's line, thence along Vicker's line a south course to Grisham's line, thence along Grisham's ling to the first station, containing one hundred and sixty-five acres.

I would like to connect with others researching my line of McKEE's. William McKEE was born ca. 1747. He and wife Mary RANKIN are in Orange County when their son William Jr. was born in 1777, and still there when Wm. Sr. died in 1822. William Jr. married in Orange CO. to Jane Jamison 1810. Both my MCKEE and ROUNTREE families seem to cross paths many times over the next seventy five years as did my ROBINSON, and JAMISON families also from Orange County, N.C.

Hi Grp, have not posted my surnames for quite awhile, so thought it would be my new years duty to do so to most of the lists I'm on.....the above surnames all inter-married in the 1700-early 1800, our direct ROACH line went to TN bef 1808....James ROACH + Ann THOMPSON lived on/near Haw River in the Hawfield's area of Old Orange Co. which is where Saxapahaw is today in Alamance Co. NC.Is anyone on this listed connected to these families?? FYI: There is a website, where you can access maps and find all the creeks/streams etc. and zoom in on them if you know the town or area your ancesters lived in Thanks, Sharon WA State ===================================================== One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.-A.A. Milne

If you find anything out, please post to the list. I'm starting to see some of these names coming up together more and more often and would love to figure out how they are all connected. I got all excited when I saw John May, but my John May wasn't born until 1824 and spent his whole life in Granville County. Oh well. :)

Based on the following from my database, does anyone recognize or have any information regarding the names and places described? The Orange County, North Carolina Wills Vol. Two, 1775 - 1787 contains the following: Will Book A, page 350, Deed of Gift from John May to James Desern: I, John May of Orange County and state of North Carolina, for the love and kind affection that I have and do bear towards James Desern, my son-in-law, have granted to him the plantation and part of the tracts of land where I now live, beginning at the north of my spring branch on Elibee's Creek, running up the various courses of the spring branch to the road, thence running a north course to John Raker's corner, thence a west course to John Vicker's line, thence along Vicker's line a south course to Grisham's line, thence along Grisham's ling to the first station, containing one hundred and sixty-five acres.

I'm researching the Sutton family in Orange/Alamance Co. Henry Sutton was my g-grandfather and was in Alamance Co. in 1850, living in a house with Eliza Carden and Abram Tarpley. Henry was 20 years old. They were in Orange Co. before Alamance became a Co. Are there any Sutton researchers on this list who might have Henry Sutton in their files? In 1850 he was married to Shirley Carden Sutton. By 1870 he was married to Elizabeth Josephine Hatchet, also from Orange Co. Thanks, Gerri Ann Stanley-Lockman

Hello, It has been awhile since I posted so I thought I would try again. I have a brick wall that I need help with. I am trying to find the marriage bond or date for William Henry Clark and Narvella "Narvie" Elizabeth Clark of Orange County. I am sending to both counties as it is possible the records could be in Alamance. Here are the facts I know: Parents of Narvie Clark: Edward Franklin Clark Born: Feb. 7th, 1845 Orange Died: Oct. 24, 1921 Guilford Mother: Martha McPherson Clark Born: Abt. Oct. 1854 Died: Jan. 8th, 1920 His Parents: John Clark and Mahalah Ray of Orange Married: 7/28/1829 (Orange Co. Marr. Rec. Her Parents: Franklin McPherson and JoAnna Andrews Married: 12/15/1847 (Orange Co. Mar.Rec) The 1850 census in Orange County have Franklin and Anne with one child William, 6 months old but I cannot find Edward Clarks family in the 1850 census for Orange County. I also cannot find any record of a marriage for Willim Henry and Narvie. She was married to James C. Morton first and their record is in Alamance County. They were married Dec. 1899. So her marriage to William Henry would have to been between 1901 and 1907 according to other information I have. They moved to Guilford County sometime around 1907 or 1908. The death certificate for William lists his father as John Clark of Orange County but no mother. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
