Posted on: Polk County, NC Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Polk/10221 Surname: Houk, Howk, Houke, Houck, Houcke ------------------------- i am looking for information on Nicholas Houk(various spellings. His Rev. War Pension paper in the National Archives in Washington, DC shows that he was drafted twice from Polk County, NC and when discharged at the end of the War he was discharged in Lincoln Co. NC. He may also have a brother Michael from the same area. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm sorry. The only John Jackson I could find that was born about that time was John J. and he was buried in Bethel Presbyterian Cemetery in York County SC in 1859. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn E.

Posted on: Polk County, NC Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Polk/10219 Surname: Jackson ------------------------- My father is 89 years old and during a recent conversation I had with him, he related that Eunice Elzadie (Elzoda)Jackson was an Irvin. He spelled the name as Irvin or Irven. He definately said it began with an "I". He said her family came from England and that she had a brother that lived in the Ashville area but could only remember refering to him as "Uncle Bud". He also said she had a brother named Posey. I had always been told that Elzadie/Elzodie was a native American but now I am unsure of this information. My father is old and my have some facts confused. I plan to talk with him later today and I will ask him why we were always told by eveeryone that she was Native American. Please feel free to e-mail me at any time. I have some pictures you might be interested in seeing.

Posted on: Polk County, NC Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Polk/10217 Surname: Jackson, Newman ------------------------- I am searching for information on my ancestors, most of which lived and died in Polk County, Rutherford County and Henderson County, NC. I know there is quite a bit of history about the Newman and Jackson families in these counties. Is there an Archives book available on line or one that I can research? I plan on coming to Polk County in the near future to visit some cemeteries.

I seem to have missed the original question about Levi Graham. I do not know what info they were looking for, but I find a marriage record for Levi S.Graham and Mary Searcy on 11/21/1850. Thought I'd pass it along in case it can help someone. This record is from the book Marriage Records of Rutherford County NC. The book only lists the names of the bride, groom and date of marriage. Hope this helps someone. Marlene Avery

no Levi Graham.

Does your 1850 Rutherford census list Levi Graham? He married Mary Searcy on Nov. 21, 1850 Probably after the census was taken. I am trying to find the names of his parents and sieblings. Do you have any of these names?

I tried to find some records for you, but was unsuccessful. My relatives married into a Bridgeman family. They lived in what is/was known as "Dark Corner" south carolina, a mountainous area that covered the corner of Spartanburg and Greenville county in South Carolina and Polk and Henderson county in North Carolina. You might try records in Greenville and Spartanburg counties. The fact that he died in Polk county could mean a tie here because the nearest hospital to Dark Corner would be in Polk county, and Landrum is nearby. Dark Corner is on parts of Glassy Mountain, which might be another place to search and Glassy Mountain has one side of it in Henderson county.
