Jenni - I would be happy to share the experiences of my ancestors. If you would like, I will drop a CD in the Post. Regards, Michael T McAlpin ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Hello! I am researching a new television series for a British broadcaster, which will look at Scottish emigration to North Carolina in the 17-19th centuries. We wish to look at families from Highland Scotland who migrated, and look at the different experiences of the branches of these families who stayed in Scotland and those who emigrated to North Carolina. I'm thus looking for families with Scottish roots in North Carolina, as well as Scottish families, who have researched their family trees and might be interested in sharing their stories with me. I'd be delighted to hear from anyone who is interested! My contact details below- do drop me an email and I can telephone whenever is convenient! Many thanks, Jenni ____________________________________ Jenni Butterworth Cheetah Television + 44 208 222 4858 jenni.butterworth@endemoluk.com Endemol UK Shepherd's Bush Central Charecroft Way LONDON W14 0EE UK ______________________________________________________________________ Want to know more about Endemol UK and its productions?

The James McKay (James Franklin "Frank" McKay), listed as one of the young men who assisted, was my g-grandfather, son of Duncan McKay who lived on Richland Swamp near Philadelphus. The James Campbell listed along with Frank McKay may have been Matthew James Campbell, born 1839 who inherited lands adjacent to Floral College. Matthew James Campbell was a soldier in the Confederate Army, and was son of John and Catherine Campbell of the Bridge on Drowning Creek near Floral College.

Hi Dot. Yes, I feel like I'm searching a brick wall in the middle of the night, with no moonlight to help.

I discovered this old article and thought it may be of interest. July 31, 1872 THE NORTH CAROLINA OUTLAWS We have received from various sources the following additional particulars of the killing of the outlaw, TOM LOWERY, on Saturday last: On Thursday night last, MR. A.S. WISHART, brother of the late COLONEL F.M. WISHART, who was so foully murdered by the outlaws three months ago, having called to his assistance a few resolute young men, set out for Scuffletown to look after the outlaws and if possible, to avenge the death of his gallant and lamented brother. Proceeding to the neighborhood of the outlaws, the gallant little band secreted themselves along the roads usually traveled by them in their walks about the country and waited patiently for an opportunity to put their plan in execution. Nothing was seen, however, of any of the gang, which now consists of three members, STEPHEN and TOM LOWERY and ANDREW STRONG, until Saturday morning about 8 o'clock, when TOM LOWERY appeared in sight on his way to Union Chapel where the candidates were to meet and address the people on that day. TOM was armed with a rifle and three repeaters and walked leisurely along, unsuspecting of danger, until at a point opposite wh! ere the young men were concealed, he noticed the tracks they had made crossing the road. He now seemed suddenly alarmed and commenced cursing bitterly, when suddenly the little band instantly discharged their pieces- Each of the four shots took effect and uttering a yell of terror and pain, the outlaw plunged into the swamp and ran about 50 yards, when he fell down dead. Seizing the body they carried it upon their shoulders to the public road, a distance of half a mile, where they pressed a passing wagon and thus carried the dead body to Lumberton, where it was delivered to the Sheriff. The body was fully identified as that of TOM LOWERY and was delivered to his wife on Saturday morning by Sheriff McMILLAN, who had sent to her to come and get it. It was interred by his friends at two o'clock the same day, somewhere in the precincts of Scuffletown. The same day Sheriff McMILLAN paid the reward offered by the county, $1,000. to the young men and it is hoped that the State will act as promptly in paying over $5,000. offered last winter in the Governor's proclamation.

Thanks for the Joseph BROCK lead. My Leonard may have been a younger son or nephew. He did name a son Joseph, but it was the 5th son.

Thanks for the alternate spelling of Broach for Brock. That is not one I had run into before. I will try it.

I have a Brock that married into a branch of my family that was from Robeson, but I don't know anything about him. I have a photo of him though. I think he married into my Lowry side, if I remember right. If you want, I can look it up. bev risque1@comcast.net wrote: There are Brocks and Mercers in Robeson County.

My ancestors: Leonard BROCK and Catherine MERCER, his wife were both born about 1798-1805 in NC. Their sons, Henry, Joshua, Jacob, John and Joseph were all born in NC before 1826.

Not sure there is any connection but I'm looking at a 1769 tax list from Dobbs County. Many of the surnames formerly found in Dobbs Co. showed up later in Duplin/Sampson counties, and then, later, in Robeson Counties. There is a name Brock, Joseph ......paid taxes for himself and one other in Dobbs County in 1769. Traditionally, (at that time) the first male child was named after the paternal grandfather, and the second male child was named after the maternal grandfather. > [Original Message] > From: dotnfl@juno.com <dotnfl@juno.com> > To: <NCROBESO@rootsweb.com> > Date: 4/8/07 9:32:49 PM > Subject: [NCROBESO] BROCK and MERCER families > > My ancestors: Leonard BROCK and Catherine MERCER, his wife were both > born about 1798-1805 in NC.

I don't have any Brock/Broach's from Robeson, but I do just across the boarder in SC. Have you tried the alternate spelling of Broach, which also seemed to be pronounced like Brock sometimes?

Unfortunately, I have not gotten my Watts out of Tuscaloosa and Bibb counties in Alabama. I do believe that they came from SC based on their neighbors, but have not been able to prove it. Abraham Watts, born 1805 is as far back as I've gotten on that line.

Having never really lived in Lumberton, I never met a lot of my mom's cousins, but while she was growing up, she was close to her cousins, and they have all stayed in touch with her over the years. To that end, I'd like to post a death for those of you with connections to the JOHNSON family of Daniel Riley JOHNSON & Emma Frances CARLISLE (my ggp's) and William Alexander MUSSELWHITE and Flora Ann MUSSELWHITE. Because Mom couldn't remember if Marvin lived in Bladen County or Robeson, I am posting to both lists. Oney JOHNSON, d/o Daniel (and sister of John Henry JOHNSON), married Emory Marvin MUSSELWHITE. One of their sons, Amory(sic) Marvin MUSSELWHITE, b 26 Feb 1926, died unexpectedly on Mar 24, 2007. Her cousin's dtr, Elsie, (Marvin's niece) said that Marvin shot himself. Mom says his wife, Theodocia, died a few months ago. My deepest sympathy to the families at this difficult time. Lynn Prettyman Baltimore, MD marylindsay1@comcast.net
