Hi Again :-) Here is a little more information on the Ancestry.com free database. Nancy E Parr ============================================================ This is a free data base for 10 days on Ancestry. Check it out and see if you can find any new information!! NORTH CAROLINA http://www.ancestry.com/ancestry/search/northcarolina.htm This database contains an index to 29,000 marriage records available from North Carolina between the years 1850 and 1868, with some records as early as 1842, and as late as 1900. The following counties and dates are included in this collection: Ashe, (Marriage Bonds) Bertie, 1850-1868, (Marriage Certificates) Catawba, 1842-1900, 1850-1900 includes only A-K, (Marriages) Currituck, 1851-1867, Book A, (Marriage Bonds) Davidson, 1827-1867, (Marriage Bonds) Davie, 1851-1868 (Marriage Bonds and Certificates) McDowell, 1851-1881, (Marriage Bonds) Wayne, 1851-1856 (Bride's Index) Wilkes, 1851-1856 (Bride's Index) Yadkin, (Marriage Bonds and Certificates) Most North Carolina marriages were not recorded before 1868. At this time, most marriages were performed after banns had been posted three times to give local residents the opportunity to state any objections to the upcoming marriage. Many of the records in this database are from Marriage Bonds, which were common in the South. According to "The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy" revised, edited by Loretto D. Szucs and Sandra H. Luebking, Chapter 4, Research in Marriage and Divorce Records, by Johni Cerny and Sandra H. Luebking. (http://www.ancestry.com/home/source/src70.htm): "Marriage bonds were not required by all colonies or states but have been common in the South. Bonds were posted prior to the issuing of the required marriage license in some states and were the sole documents required in others. Bonds were posted by the groom alone, or with a second person, usually the father or the brother of the bride, to defray the costs of litigation in the event the marriage was nullified." "Bonds were posted in the jurisdiction where the marriage was to take place, often in the bride's home county. These bonds, the only marriage records maintained in some jurisdictions, were usually annotated with the marriage date after the ceremony. It was rare for a marriage not to take place within a few days of the posting of the bond, even though many bonds do not bear the annotation. Although the missing information could mean that the marriage did not take place, more often it reflects poor record keeping or failure of the justice or minister to report the marriage to local officials." After 1868 the register of deeds in each county was given the task of issuing marriage licenses.

If by "obit" here you mean one published in a newspaper, there is probably very little chance for this query, unfortunately. There were almost no newspapers published in Perquimans, Pasquotank, or Chowan counties in 1836.

Pasquotank and Perquimans Counties have had some interesting murder cases, some still unresolved. I grew up amongst people who passed along the histories, stories and other anecdotal information about a variety of things including the "murder mysteries". I never heard anything resembling the story of the demise of Issac Wilson and the justice met my his murderers. I, too, think burning at the stake is a bit far fetched - especially in an area that was still heavily influenced by the Quakers. Wonder what others have heard or know of this murder mystery.

Greetings to the Perquimans list: There is a story of murder in 1732 Perquimans Co. in the latest NC Genealogical Society Journal (Vol. XXV, No. 3, pp. 304-312), by Raymond A. Winslow and John H. Oden, that would do justice to the very best modern murder mystery. Indeed, this would make a much better plot than most of the stories seen on TV and in movies these days. While there is not too much genealogy content, perhaps a short summary of this event might be of interest to some, but not to those of faint heart, who might want to reach for the delete button at this point Following the death of her Quaker husband, Isaac Wilson, in 1714, the widow Anne Wilson had married Captain John Pettiver by 1716. However, the marriage proved to be a stormy one from the beginning, with Anne having already filed a bill of complaint against her husband in the court session of March 1718. Perhaps this was an early predictor of things to come, because in a court trial some years later it was said that John Pettiver had been murdered on 17 Aug. 1732 by multiple blows from a club, with his body having afterwards been tied to a large brass kettle filled with stones and sunk in the Perquimans River. The body was found on 26 August, and the chief suspects - one Joseph Haynes and the widow, Anne Pettiver - were called into court and forced to touch the body, in keeping with the belief that a murder victim's body would bleed when touched by the murderer. When the body was touched by Haynes, a single drop of blood was seen to appear near the left eye, but when Anne Pettiver touched the breast of her deceased husband, the blood was said to visibly ooze through the firm skin in that area until large droplets ran down his side and dripped onto the floor. A jury of 12 men testified under oath that vigorous rubbing on their part produced no such bleeding. This damning evidence from the trial by touching was supplemented by the eye-witness testimony of Anne Pettiver' maid, Bess, who told of seeing Master Pettiver force open a locked door in the house, whereupon Joseph Haynes inside the room set upon him with a hoe handle, which Mistress Pettiver said was too light to do the job. However, Master Pettiver was killed by a great many blows, and afterwards a servant boy named Buck was ordered to help Haynes drag the body down to the nearby river, with Mistress Pettiver following along behind covering the blood trail with dirt. Afterwards Mistress Pettiver told Haynes that he must kill the boy Buck, but Hayes asked: Couldn't we just scare him into silence? Mistress replied no, their plan must be carried out, and the boy's head was held in a tub of water until he was drowned. He was then carried more than a mile away and thrown off of a bridge over Skinner's Creek, so that any searchers would also look there for Master Pettiver's body, rather than in the nearby river. Bess said that the Mistress told her to tell anyone who asked that Master Pettiver had not been seen since he visited with the widow Phelps the day before he was murdered. Perhaps the desire to have her repeat this cover story is what saved the life of the servant girl. Despite the dubious trial by touching, the evidence seemed strong, and it was not surprising to learn that Joseph Haynes was executed on the Gallows in Edenton between the hours of ten and two on the Monday next following his sentencing on 4 Nov. 1732. In case you might think that Mistress Pettiver received a lighter sentence, though, the Chief Justice announced later that all goods and the estate of Anne Pettiver, she having been executed by burning at the stake for the more-serious offense of Petty Treason, were to be seized and used to pay for her prosecution. You see, I warned you that this was not for the faint of heart, but that is what the article said. I had no idea that people were still being burning at the stake in 1732, and it seems a little hard to believe. Nevertheless, the research for this story seems to be quite solid, but I am repeating only my reading of what was said in the article cited. Has anyone else heard of this compelling story? Look for the movie-makers trucks to show up any day now in Perquimans Co, because the scene of the body being displayed and touched in court by the grieving Quaker widow - Sandy Bullock in a bonnet, maybe - after 9 days of water exposure in the heat of August is likely to prove irresistible to movie producers. My best Regards to all, Ron Bullock (no relation to Sandy) P. S. - A footnote says that Anne's confiscated property included 600 acres in which she was given a lifetime estate by her first husband, Isaac Wilson. This land was on the southwest side of the Perquimans River and extended downstream to Castleton's Creek. Part of the land is now occupied by one of the city of Hertford's main shopping centers, and part has been set aside for industrial development. Shoppers might want to pause and reflect on the sad fate of Master Pettiver and the boy Buck at this location in 1732, and the even sadder fate of Mistress Pettiver and of Mr. Joseph Haynes.

I am searching for John (Timothy) White who migrated eventually to Guilford area. He had at least one son, James Floyd White, b. 1817. I think he came from Massachusetts - he was a Quaker. Also if anyone knows anything about the migration from Nantucket into the tidewater counties, then out toward Guilford of the Quakers, would you please tell me where to look for this history. Thank you. sarah

Trying to find the obit of my 3rd ggrandfather, John SIVAGE (sometimes spelled Savage), a Frenchman, b. ca. 1794, died Christmas Day, Dec. 25, 1836. He was said to be in the War of 1812. He was married to Anna MORSE (Morris/Moss), and had at least four children, all born "near Elizabeth City": Isaiah b. 1826; Laurette b. ca. 1830; Armstead b. ca. 1831; John b. ca. 1832. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!! Tracy Jones http://homepages.go.com/~thenightflyer/genealogy.html Genealogy & Links

Thanks so much, Sylvia! It appears this is the right family; 2 of their 4 children were born after 1830. My John SAVAGE was a Frenchman, according to my grandmother (almost 88 years old now). All his children took the surname SIVAGE, and I'm wondering if it wasn't originally SAUVAGE. Those name changes can be very curious and so perplexing!! I can't get back further than John SAVAGE/SIVAGE. His wife's name was Anna MORSE, though I don't have her parents' names. Anna had 4 children during her marriage to John. She remarried after John's death (I'm still attempting to get a copy of his obit-- he d. Christmas Day, 12/25/1836, and had been in the war of 1812) to Robert HIATT, and had three additional children with him. Thanks again, Sylvia, that gets me one step closer!!

Hi Judith, My Cannons from earliest Perquimans Co, are, by legend, said to have connections to Josiah Bartlett of RevWar period in NH. Josiah's fellow delegate from NH was William Whipple. Was there a Whipple in Perquiman's? Bart Cannon Seattle

Elizabeth daughter of Josiah and Elizabeth (Twine) Perry of Perquimans Co. married in 1761 Elizabeth daughter of Burwell and Elizabeth (Massey) Perry who married abt. 1752 in Pasquotank Co. and moved to Franklin Co.

Hello Several people have mentioned their families went to Anson County from Perquimans, as did some of mine. Can anyone tell me some history about these moves? Was there new land opening there? Mine were Quakers. Did a bunch of Quakers go together? But mine and some others came back north and did not leave any records in Anson. Why? Thanks for any info. Judy Whipple in Oregon

JOY AND VICKY, I realize the time period is slightly off but is it possible that my ELIZABETH PERRY (b1776 NC) who married (1798 SC) REUBEN WHITE (1770 NC-1818 Dallas County, Al) might be somewhere among your PERRYS? I have hints they may have been in Anson County, NC and/or Franklin County. But who knows if they didn't have ties in Perquim. too? It sure is hard when you have names as comon as ELIZABETH PERRY and WHITE.

Hi Vicky I descend from Reuben Perry Jr. and am very interested in your line. I have Nathan born 10-10-1769 died 4-3-1842 in Brown Co., Illinois. They married in 1787. Rebecca was not a Quaker, so I know little about her. I have ancestors for Nathan if you are interested. and alos descendants of Reuben Perry Jr. Joy in Wisc.
