Elona, In the section on the Lowry gang a rather dastardly bunch from what Ive read, it mentions that ex-sheriff Reuben King was killed by the Lowrys, both John Dial and Steve Lowry were found guilty of the murder and sentenced to Hang. Five miles south of Lumberton was the town of Kingsdale, so named for the King family who ran the Southern Sawmills and Lumber co. there. The company also furnished the public blacksmithing there. This was Circa 1906. Thats about all on the Kings in the book, hope it helps Tom

Robert, The book refers to that area in Alabama as Clay Cty. My copy of the book was given to me by my parents by way of an uncle in Lumberton. If I find out how to get a Copy I will let you know. now for the second installment. Around 1855 in the community of Melrose near Maxton.The post office for this area was in the home of "Juniper Bill" McMillan and served among others the Gilchrist family. In the early days of the county before churches were built visiting preachers would deliver their sermons in someones home and in 1757 church services were held in the home of John McMillan. In 1801 four new Presbyterian ministers were licensed to preach, among these four was Murdoch McMillan. More to follow. Tom

OK how do I order the book?

The names Revels and Bryant (many times spelled Briant) are closely associated with the Native American tribes in the Robeson Co. area: both Cherokee (Briant) and Lumbee (Croatan or Eastern Sioux) Revels. Checking the Indian Rolls might be helpful. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert M Butler <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2000 7:50 AM Subject: Re: [NCROBESO-L] Away Down Home/ Revels and Bryant > Karen..I live in Fuquay Varina...we have lots of Revels and Bryants > around here.

There are topographical maps that show details of the terrain and most states, if not counties, have them probably for a fee. ----- Original Message ----- From: Debra Ann Yamrus Dew <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2000 4:46 PM Subject: [NCROBESO-L] Help !

Joyce, I think I have my Jernigan's down pretty well. I'm looking for my grandfather's first wife (not my grandmother), Mary Kate BALLARD JERNIGAN. My grandfather was James Franklin Jernigan born in Cumberland Co, and migrated to Washington Co., FL and on to Slocoomb, Geneva Co., AL. I don't know where Mary Kate was born. There is also a book named JERNIGAN REUNION by Lillian Jernigan Worley (the original) and a reprint (last year) of same by Kay Stone. I'm glad to know of the other book also. Thanks.

All I know is their boys were listed as born in Maxton and she died between 1892 and 1899. James Franklin Jernigan married again about Dec. 1899 (my grandmother) in Washington Co., FL. Thanks so much for the look-up. Lucy Lucy, The only mention of Jernigan in the book is a reference to Jesse Jernigan who in 1787 along with others were authorized to select a site for the courthouse in Lumberton and to contract for the erection of that building and a prison and stocks.

I appreciate your help, Tom

Are there any Kings mentioned in this book? Would appreciate any info. Thanks! Elona (Rogers) Kisala

Robert, I will break this info up into small pcs because there is a lot of McMillan info in the book. Some may pertain to you and some not, I will let you be the judge of what you need. Harold McMillan published a theory in 1888 that said in effect that the Lumbee Indians were the descendants of the lost colony from Roanoke Island. The theory still holds water today. During the revolutionary war Christian McMillan who came to this country from Scotland and had no medical training was the only person who could act as physician in the Scottish Territory. She traveled on horseback and tende people from Rowland to Parkton,about 40 miles.. In 1790 there were 19 McMillan families in Robeson Cty, 4 were named John. Some of the Mcmillans left Robeson in the 1830s and settled in Brownville,Clay Cty,Alabama. The town became known as "Little Scotland" Will send more soon, Tom

Linda, The only mention of the name Paul in the book are, Between the civil war and 1900 Mr. Peter Paul ran a Commercial Enterprise in the town of Alma, as did Mr. E. H. Paul in the town of Red Banks. Tom

Mine are in Robeson Co., would you have anymore info. on these people. I cannot find anythin with the information you have provied. Like birth, death or marriage dates, places any other names children ? But I must tell you it's a hard line to get any help on at all on the internet, at least at the time I was searching anyhow. No one ever came across with any responses to any of my querries. If I'm not mistaken there is a Harrington mailing list, the address for posting querries is : [email protected] State that you are not a member so any responds will go directly to you and not the list. I have'nt had any come through there either with any Robeson Co., HARRINGTON's, seems like most upstate HARRINGTON's which are not related. Please let me know what you find so I can add your family to my database of HARRINGTONS. Let me know anything at all you might have it might just help to find a tie somewhere. There's only one elder HARRINGTON left alive besides my grandmother. My grandmoother is in a nursing home and senile. The other is HARRINGTON by marriage and in her 90's but last I talked to her still in her right mind and very informative of the HARRINGTON surname. She has alot of information she was married to my grandmother's brother. Thanks hope to hear soon, Debby [email protected]

Tom, If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I would appreciate a lookup in the book for a James Franklin Jernigan/Mary Kate Ballard (my grandfather and his first wife, who had two sons born in Maxton in1890 and 1892).
