Away Down Home is an entertaining history of Robeson County from the first settlers through the Civil War. It mentions some early families, but is not a good source for genealogy other than where some familles located. Proceeds go to the preservation of the 150+ year old Humphrey-Williams-Smith Plantation outside of Lumberton, NC. Joanne

Howard - Myrtle - Great Site and I enjoyed the pictures (McNeill cemetery near Snead's Grove). This is the area I suspect John Calvin Norton's father may have come from. His mother (a McMillan) may be from Robeson Co. Sam Norton

Hello! I am a Hammond/ Robeson Co. descendent and Thomas Jackson married Azenith,the fifth child of John Hammond and Christian (?). I have little on the Jackson line except that Cornelius was the son of Azenith and Thomas. I am very interested in your Hammond line and willing to exchange.
