Hi again, Geechee/Gullah are the descendants of slaves who live in the Sea Island area of SC. Go to the Wikkipedia article on Geechee/Gullah for a lot of info on them. Not to be confused with the term Portugee however it is spelled which was used by people of mixed race in the Carolinas to keep from being labeled as mulatto or black. There was a case where John Regan of Robeson Co., NC testified for Thomas Hagans of Marion District, SC that Hagans was of Portugee descent when Hagans refused to pay the tax on being mulatto or black. Hagans wife was white. One of my Robeson Co. ancestors was said to have been of Portugee descent. His description was tall, dark complexion, straight black hair & blue eyes. YDNA test on one of his direct male descendants shows a mixture of white (European/CelticIberian),Native American, African,& Berber (North African). Wonder if one of his ancestors was one of those left behind Portugese from the Juan Pardo Expedition or one of those Drake was supposed to have left on the Carolina coast on his way back to England.

Thanks Marcia for the interesting history article. My Herring family disappeared from Robeson during the 1830-1840 time. One bunch went to MS and the other to GA and AL then TX, the Drinkwaters through SC to GA and many of the Lee's to Mississippi. I have not heard of any mixed blood in these families but probably the quest for land and going west was the reason.

Not Michael, but this outmigration looms largely in my Pitman, Israel, Taylor Ancestors in Lumberton/Robeson including my own family branch who migrated to another county within the state in the early to mid 20th century losing touch with most Robeson Relatives. A great number of my Israel Ancestors moved to Sumter, Georgia in the 1830's all being listed in the1840 Census where my cousin descendents remain until this day. Pitmans and Taylor of course migrated with them. Others went to Mississippi where I have found family branches from the 1840's and again after the War For Southern Indepencence which devastated economically many families who had no choice but to seek greener pastures elsewhere in places such as Texas, Indiana and Louisana. Even today in the latest report on Outmigration in the United States Lumberton, North Carolina ranks third in the 25 largest Metropolitian Areas of its citizens who relocate elsewhere for whatever reason: See Report at: http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:sbvCESF5qpgJ:www.census.gov/prod/2006pubs/p25-1135.pdf+robeson+nc+migrations+to+other+states&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us which has a pdf which can be downloaded and saved for study. Sam West's and that of the other members who produced the book "Our Heritage: Robeson County 1748-2002 has very detailed information on many of these migrations. The book unfortunately is out of print and can't be purchased or obtained for love or money, I know having tried repeatedly. Perhaps you can visit the Robeson County Library which I had to do in order to find and document the many sources on dozens of members of my family in Robeson virtually copying half the book. I haven't seen any of the Bryans. Hopefully, someone else on the Robeson Forum will respond with information. Good Luck in your search.

This is a long shot, but just in case, I'll send it. I have a McNelta Branch born in 1835 in Robeson County. He was the son of Williams Branch. Naming children after parents and grandparents has been a strong family tradition from the 1700s. He could have been named William McNelta (after his father or grandfather) but I have no record of any other name than McNelta. I can think that someone with the name McNelta might have the nickname Mack. I have census records of this family living in Robeson and his name was spelled Macrelta on one occasion. My research tells me they often did not know when they were born, or how to spell their name. (Or maybe the census recorder could not spell their name.) Anyway, he is listed with his brothers and sisters in Robeson in 1860. His eldest brother was John Wright Branch and he inherited all the property. I don't have any other records for McNelta. If you find any other information about this person, I would like to hear from you. My records show that people often got married in Cumberland County, while living in Robeson County. Now, this McNelta does not fit the years that you noted, but he could be the grandfather.................given that boys were most often given the name of their paternal grandfather.

Hi, I know that the Federal Government will not release censuses until 72 years after the census was taken in order to guard the personal and medical information which it contains, i.e. diagnoses like "lunatic", "idiot", etc.... My question is what about the records of state hospitals like Doretha Dix which dates back to the 1800s. I work in the Public Health field and have seen some older "social evaluations" of some patients. These Social Evaluations go into great detail, i.e. giving names of parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, etc... giving social economical information and telling about the environment in which they lived [a pot of gold for genealogist]. Now I know that these mental health records are under a protected class of records due to their sensitive nature, but what I would like to know is will they ever age out as the census records does and then become available for research??? I have been told that one of my early relatives was admitted to Doretha Dix Hospital back in the middle 1800s, and if I could at least get hold of copies of the social evaluations, then maybe some of my unanswered questions could be answered. Also, I am sure that they would have information on those inmates who died on the Hill back in the 1800s as well. Who knows, maybe it will help me understand why I am a Genealogy Nut! Think about, help if you can! Sam West Lumberton, Robeson Co NC

Hello, I don't know about your family, the Kings, but my family Henry and Ann Eliza McNeill lived in Thompson in 1900 and Back Swamp in 1880.

Hi, Sam, Thanks to you I know that William Edward ("Eddie) King (born 1850) and Margret J. Edwards (born 1851) were married October 20, 1870 in Robeson County, NC. Again, thanks to you, I know Eddie's parents were Stark King and Jane (maiden name unknown) King and that Margret's parents were Eli Edwards and Jane Phillips Edwards. Their surviving children, in birth order, were daughter Dannie King, daughter Mattie E. King, daughter Loula L. King Tolar, daughter Mary King, son Laurance A. King, son Lonzo ("Lonnie") King, daughter Nettie Donnie King Neely Riley, and son Ernest B. King (aka Ernest Robert Cain). There may also have been a daughter Pauline King Bailey. Eddie King was a farmer and a carpenter. In the 1880 census Eddie and Margret were living in Thompsons Township in Robeson County, NC. In the 1900 census Eddie was living as a boarder in Manning Township in Marion (now Dillon) County, SC, and Margret and some of the children were living in Hillsborough Township in Marion (now Dillon) County, SC. I cannot find them in any later census. Some of their children appear in the 1910 census. In 1910 my grandmother, Nettie Donnie King Neely Riley, was living in Dillon, SC with her brother Laurance King, his wife Addie Hamilton King, their daughter, and his parents-in-law. Both Nettie and Laurance worked at the Dillon Cotton Mill. Another brother Lonnie King and his wife Lizzie Huggins King also were living in Dillon, SC, and Lonnie also worked at the cotton mill. My grandmother met and married a co-worker at the cotton mill, Joseph Bowden Neely, Sr., from Horry County, SC. In the 1920 census Nettie King Neely and her husband were in Savannah, Chatham County, GA. Ernest B. King (as Ernest R. Cain) and his wife and family were in Kingstree, Williamsburg County, SC. In the 1930 census Nettie was widowed and still in Savannah. Laurance was in Weldon, Halifax County, NC, and Lonnie was in St. Paul's, Robeson County, NC. If I could find out the death dates of Eddie and Margret King and where they are buried, that would solve my biggest genealogy mystery.
