I'm looking for Robbs in Orange Co. NC. My great-great-grandfather was born in Stewart Co. TN in 1829. Another Robbs, John Lowery, was also born there. I'm not sure they are related, but believe them to be. John's sister, Mary Robbs who married Elias Shufflebarger, was born in NC around 1820. I found an Alexander Robbs and a Wm. Robbs in the 1790 census. I thought this would be a good place to start looking. Is anyone researchng the Robbs name?

Record of these Nunns can be found in a book, "Nunns of the South" by Alexander Nunn. One of my colateral ancestors, Marcey Rice was married to Francis Nunn IV 4 May 1774. They moved westward during their life to Williamson, Tennessee, after moving to South Carolina where at least 8 of their children were born. Best regards, John Fox Winston Salem, NC

Hello Everyone, I am also interested in this, specifically for Rev. Davis. Thank you! Bonnie

Is there anyone on the list with the book "Pioneers and Cavaliers" who would be willing to do a look up for me? I understand there is a section of the book which talks about Baptists in NC ca. 1755 - 1761. In particular, the ministry of the Revs. Hart, Washington, Walker, and Davis at Reedy Creek and Tar River. I am most interested in learning the first name of this Rev. Hart. Thanks, Mary _______________________________________________________ Tired of slow Internet? Get @Home Broadband Internet http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html

As a lot of you know, I am searching for the family of my gggrandfather, Leonard Sanford Brown. This is all I truly want for Christmas, so I am going to go into detail to see if I can find anyone who knows who his parents are. I do have some new information to post. Leonard was born in 1837 KY and died 1929 IN. He was married to Polly Ann Rippy, dau of John and Elizabeth Robinson Rippy from Sumner Co. Tenn. The Rippy's moved to Clark Co. IN just prior to Polly Ann's birth in 1841. In the 1860 Wood Twp Clark Co. IN census there is: Family 76 Brown Nancy 58 NC Brown James 30 IN Family 77 Brown Henry 25 TN Brown Nancy (RIPPY) 30 TN Brown Abigail A. 5 IN Brown Isaac 1 IN Family 79 Rippy John 60 NC Rippy Elizabeth 50 TN Rippy Eliza 19 IN Rippy Mary Ann 17 IN Rippy Suqure J. 15 IN male Family 80 Brown John 25 KY Brown Maria(Rippy) 23 IN Brown Leonard 21 KY Mahnron (Mahuron?) James W. 15 IN Strowd William R. 14 IN 1850 Federal Census Clark Co. IN Wood Twp. Rippy John 50 Farmer NC Rippy Elizabeth 47 TN Rippy Nancy 23 IN Rippy Rosi A. 21 IN Rippy Malinda 16 IN Rippy Maria 14 IN Rippy Harriet S. 15 IN Rippy Eliza 10 IN Rippy Polly Ann 8 IN Rippy John 5 IN About 3 doors down Brown Isaac farmer NC Brown Nancy 45 NC Brown Jas 21 IN male Brown Jiney 19 IN female Brown Henry 17 IN Brown Elizabeth 13 IN I would imagine Henry Brown son of Isaac is Nancy's husband, but I can't help wondering if there is more to it. Leonard m. to Polly Rippy and his brother John married to Maria Rippy, her sister. John Brown m. Maria fought and died in the Civil War. They had two children, twins, Henry and Elizabeth. In 1867 Maria was remarried to David H. Goss of Clark Co. She and David Goss are buried in Washington Co. IN just across the line from Clark Co. IN. Leonard also fought in the Civil War and he and Polly are buried in Walnut Hill, Wood Twp, Clark Co. IN where they raised their family. In the 1880 Wood Twp, Clark Co. IN census, Family 72 Brown Lenord? 42 cooper b. KY parents born KY Brown Polly A. 37 wife Brown John S. 16 son IN Brown Mariah E. 14 dau IN Brown Nancy A. 11 dau IN Brown Abigill 9 dau IN my ggrandmother Brown Millburn 8 son IN Brown Lafayette 4 son IN Brown Liza E. 4 mos dau Family 73 Brown Henry G.

I appreciate anyone who has taken the time to read this and I hope you can help me or keep this for future reference. I am sorry so many of you have received this more than once. I just want to be sure everyone sees it. Thanks, Marcia

Subject: Old Pa. wagon road & Rowan County families As many of you know, many European migrants ported the new world in upper eastern America. Many of these families after several years moved into and through old Rowan County, NC. We have one of the best research rooms at our library in Salisbury. I listed a temporary page address with husband/wife/marriage date. It is alphabatized by husband. http://www.GoRowan.com/RowanRoots/marriage.html Also I have listed our database page which contains these names and good article on the Old Pa. Wagon Road. at page address: http://www.GoRowan.com/RowanRoots Many of these names can be found from central PA to central NC. Dan Patterson Rowan County Information Website P.O. Box 241 Spencer, NC 28159

I am trying to locate a Jean Campbell that I was doing some lookups for when my computer crashed and I had to have a new hard drive installed.I lost most all my addresses so if someone could help I would appreciate it. Thank You ><>< Joy Gregory

List, For those of you with roots in Chatham Co., too. I've extracted 200 pages of Guardian Accounts for Chatham Co., for the years 1800-1826, so far. They go to 1868. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncchatha/guardian.htm Sue

I have been studying the Workman's of Orange County for some time now and have discovered several connections with the Crutchfield's. Was hoping someone who has researched either family might be able to help me out with several questions I have concerning the marriages between these two (all of which took place in Orange County): -March 6, 1810, Jesse WORKMAN married Mary (Polly) CRUTCHFIELD -circa 1813, Jesse WORKMAN married Elizabeth CRUTCHFIELD -November 5, 1835, Elizabeth WORKMAN married John H. CRUTCHFIELD -October 2, 1842, John WORKMAN married Emelia (Milly) SYKES, daughter of Rebecca CRUTCHFIELD According to my notes Mary (Polly), Rebecca and John H. Crutchfield were children of John Crutchfield and Nancy Ann Macpherson. My questions are: 1.. Where exactly did the family of John and Nancy Ann Crutchfield live? 2.. Who were the parents of Elizabeth Workman (m. John H. Crutchfield) and John Workman (m. Emelia Sykes)? 3.. Who were the parents of Elizabeth Crutchfield who married Jesse Workman? Would appreciate any leads on the above. Have lots of Workman material I would be happy to share. Thanks Doug Terrell

Happy Thanksgiving to All, My grandfather's gravestone is engraved with the following: GREEN DEZARN INDIANA CHAUFFEUR 645 AERO SQ WORLD WAR I SEPT 30 1895 JULY 28 1960 My searches on the Internet have thus far not revealed any references to what I'm assuming is the "645th Aero Squadron." Could someone provide information regarding this World War I unit? Thank you to all who may respond. Donald DeZarn

I have been asked to look in the Will Books that I have of Orange Co, NC for the years 1752-1793 for the surname CHARLES.....I do hope it helps a little.......pj I only found one listing in all 3 books that I have...... Michael CHARLES was test to the will of Christian HUFMAN dated 29 March 1790...... And thus ends the CHARLES info.......pj

PJ Thank you so much for the info. Unfortunately, it doesn't help with my Josiah TAYLOR. He was born 1805? NC. He was in TN by 1822 where he married a BLAKELY and later a ZACHARY. I know his children and on down from them. That's about it. I suspect John is his father from all the research that I've been doing. Thanks again. Luci

There seems to be an interest in the TAYLORs of Orange Co, NC..... I have wills of Orange Co dated 1752-1793......this is what I found on the name TAYLOR......I am not kin to them, I don't think.....alot of TAYLORs came to Weakley Co, Tn.......I do hope this helps somebody.....pj This is everything I found for these years concerning the surname of TAYLOR..... Mary TAYLOR bought an ax and a barrel from the sale of the estate of Francis BARTLETT dated 5 July 1784. Charles TAYLOR was given power of attorney for Absolom TATOM for the purpose of bringing a salve home to him that had left..... Mr. TAYLOR is of Caswell County in North Carolina.....and mentioned as friend to Absolom TATOM....dated..2 April 1785 George TAYLOR was witness to the will of Richard HOPSON dated 12 December 1786. (Mr HOPSON lived in Orange Co and Parrish of St. Mark) >From the will of William WILLIAMS.......quote.....I desire that six acres of tobacco due to my by John TAYLOR of Hillsborough, be sent as soon as may be. unquote......dated 12 June 1787. >From the will of Thomas PRATT dated 3 December 1787 ...quote...And also I give and bequeath unto James TAYLOR, son of Frederick TAYLOR, twenty-five pounds paper money......unquote..... John TAYLOR, Coroner.....from the Inquisition into the death of Daniel McCORTNEY dated 9 June 1788..... Joseph TAYLOR is test to the bill of sale from Hardy SANDERS to John Grant RENCHER.........dated 3 March 1790 Joseph TAYLOR was given power of attorney by Thomas HART.....it says that Joseph TAYLOR is of Granville Co, NC...dated 26 October 1791 Co. Joseph TAYLOR is test to the Letter from Samuel PRICE concerning property of Col. HART dated 20 October 1791. John TAYLOR is test to the power of attorney from James WILLIAMS to John WILLS dated August 1793. And thus ends the TAYLOR info for these years.......pj

Jim, I can't tell you exactly where Travis Creek was, but I believe I saw it somewhere and it was in the neighborhood of Stinking Quarters Creek and possibly was named for Travis BOWDOIN. Stinking Quarters Creek is mainly in present day Alamance County and probably runs across the end of Guilford and upper Randolph where all three meet. Don't hold me to this, but off the top of my head, this is what I'm remembering. Jocelyn Brabham Barrett

Jim: It is a possibility that your Travis Creek in the deed could be "Traverse" Creek. Since all spelling of the time was phonetic, and Orange Co clerks were notorious for their multiple spellings of the same word, I would almost bet on it. The NC Gazetteer says Traverse Creek rises in eastern Guilford Co and flows n.e. into Haw River in Alamance Co. The area was the Orange/Guilford line area in 1799. You might check other deeds for that area to confirm the spelling. (The name of one of my Orange Co ancestors is spelled 3 different ways in his will). Charlie

Norma, what was the given name of your Thomas's father???? Could it have been Col. Joseph TAYLOR????? pj

I have just received from the North Carolina Division of Archives and History a survey of 85 acres in Orange County in 1799 for Henry Strader Senior. It is very helpful in listing his uncle John and his son Daniel as witnesses. The land adjoins his own and his uncle George's. The 85 acres are bounded on one side by Travis Creek and another by the Guilford County line. Travis Creek must have been renamed since then. Can anyone tell me its new name?
