Hi John, I see that you're doing Watts from Robeson County. Do you have an Ann Watts (born October 31, 1763) in your line? Ann Watts is my g.g.g.grandmother. She was born in Lowry's, South Carolina, but I suspect that her family came from Robeson County, North Carolina (because so many of my relatives did). She had several children who were born in the Chester District of South Carolina. One of Ann's grandchildren married a Burt. bj "jwhodge3@juno.com" <jwhodge3@juno.com> wrote: You might consider going to Red Springs court house. -- "John Brown" wrote: I will be in Lumberton this Saturday, March 31 through Monday or Tuesday researching my BROWN line which goes back to Thomas Brown, Sr. and Edmund Brown. They lived down near Marietta, NC from at least 1760 to 1780. I'm planning on going to the Bladen and Robeson libraries, the Bladenboro Museum, and both court houses. Please let me know if there is anywhere else in the area that I shouldn't miss. If you're interested, I now have my own genealogy site at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~opus/ I have only recently discovered the Thomas Brown, Sr. link so my info on him is a bit sketchy at best. Thomas Brown, Sen. with sons Edmund and Thomas, Jr. are listed in the 1768 Bladen Tax List. Any help appreciated. John **************** John K.
