Jeffrey, Hope you will enjoy your trip to Robeson Co. Yes the court house records are good, and much easier to read than the microfilm. The Robeson Co. Library has a very good genealogy section. Do check Henry Hodgins file cabinet. He had McEachin relatives and was a genealogist. He left lots of material to the library in Lumberton NC. Good Luck.

To Mary Alice in Fla. What is your Bright connection? I have a good bit on this family and would be glad to share. I am a descendant of Charles Bright, originally from the Currituck area of N.C. who later settled in Marllboro Co. , SC after the Rev. War. Joanne H. N.C. [email protected]

Hi List: I am looking for any information on John and Ambrose Cook in the Robeson co. area. I understand that they may have lived in the Burnt Swamp? area. Are they mentioned in any of the Robeson co. books being talked about? Thanks, John ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

I dont have the year they came over and am not sure if any of their children were born there or here. I havent found them on any of the census yet. My Daniel had the middle initial "S". I think it stood for Smith but havent been able to prove it yet. I do know he was an elder in the Centre Presbyterian Church from 1875 to 1878. I dont have any of the other names you listed but that doesnt mean they werent related. Just I havent come across them yet. Ellen in Lfa

Can someone tell me if there are any McLemore's mentioned in the book? Thanks! Teri

Sorry, but at this time there are no more books available. We will try to get permission for a reprint. All checks will be returned Joanne

sorry, I don't

yes, but there are none left, sorry

I do not know. I just got started on my research a couple months ago. I do remember my Grandmother and my mother mentioning Vonnie. I am so new and green to this so any information would help and give me a place to start. I want to go to Lumberton this fall but do not know where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Lois Moore

I have written to Sam West but he did not have time to help me. From his reply, I assume he is a paid researcher. Do you know his fees: Lois Moore

Good morning Chuck, Could you send me your cousin's e-mail address? I would love to chat with him.

Hi Make sure you visit the genealogical room in the Robeson County Library in Lumberton. It has a wealth of information from census records to books on individual surnames.

Jeffrey I don't know about what's on film but in the Court House you read deeds (basement), birth, marriage and death certificates (main floor Register of Deeds) and wills (upstairs). In the library research room there are four file cabinets full of research files. There are also many good books. One book that I was shown that was full of information is a big thick book on the Walters family. I am not related to the Walters but there is a ton of data on other Robeson County families inside (including some of mine).Also, all three volumes of Peggy Townsend's Vanishing Ancestors are there. This will help you find cemeteries to roam. Each has a detailed map (at least, they did). And if you are lucky, you will run into Sam West. He is the guru of Robeson County genealogy. One warning, as soon as you enter the Court House or the library, your watch will jump ahead four hours <g>.

Jeffrey, I have been to the court house and the local library in Lumberton. Most Gen libraries have all the courthouse information on microfilm. Robeson county is a pretty county and if I were you, I would get a map and visit all the little towns and look at the lay of the land. Red Springs is a nice little town. Flora McDonald college is there also. Stay away from 95 except to eat and sleep. Walk through downtown Lumberton and you can get a feel for the people and culture. Hope you enjoy your visit. If you have time, go up to Cross Creek(think that is Cumberland co though) and look around.

Joyce My line is through John Rowland who is the brother of James Needham (Sr). On this program I only go back to their parents, James and Elizabeth. BUT, my cousin from SC has the Rowlands back about the same as you. He has done more research on this line than I have.
