Are any of these publications available for research in any library in Rockingham County? If so, could you elaborate on where? Also, would someone give me there opinion on which library in Rockingham County has the most genealogy information. I would like to visit Rockingham County and do some research. Thank you. Joan

There was a Col. James Martin on Snow Creek, whose daughter married a Settle. Gov. Alexander Martin built a home named "Danbury" on the Dan River at Jacob's Creek. This is a different family, according to the book "Early Families..." Vol. 1 p. 74. In your line, there is a will for the son James Probated 1804. Mother listed as Rebecca. Sister Rebecca given as Rebecca Martin in will. Believe sister Nancy married a Coleman Winchester, whose will was probated 1835. His property was next to that of Enoch Martin. The will for the elder James is in old Wills p. 141, died 1799, according to data in vol. 2 of "Early Families..." p. 107. Daughter Sarah who married a Rhodes. The Martins lived next to the John Rhodes family. You may be able to track land records for more data. This is disconnected, but hope it helps. Robin Taylor

Claudia, Try a Rawley Brim, married Elizabeth Asher 5-7-1794. There is a Joseph married Nancy Vernon 12-13-1834. There is a William married Sally Ann King 8-10-1820. There is a will for a Richard Brim died 1838 but only daughters are named. The Elizabeth in your census data is about right to the the Elizabeth above. Do not have the Heritage Book to check. No Brims in my Early Familes vols. Robin Taylor

Dau: Nancy Winchester, Sarah Rhodes, Elizabeth Abbet, Rebecah. (I believe the daughter Rebecah may have married a WITTY around 1812.) Any information would be appreciated. Thank you. Mary

Looking for any information about the BRIMM family in the Rockingham Co., NC. GGreatgrandfather James Richard BRIMM was born in Rockingham about 1820 or 1825. Father may have been Joseph BRIMM who lived next to Richins BRIMM on the 1820 Census. Please I have hit a stone wall here, need help finding birth and/or marriage information of James Richard (may have gone by Richard) BRIMM. Anyone know these names: Mary E. BRIMM, Cicero BRIMM, E. L. BRIMM found on 1850 Calloway Co.,KY census, living with Mary BRIMM. All from North Carolina! Believe they may have been related to James Richard BRIMM. Names: (Ages on 1860 Calloway Co., KY census) Joseph BRIMM (Only on 1840 census, age 40-50) Elizabeth BRIMM 76 Mary BRIMM 60 Cicero BRIMM (maybe his middle name) 23 (1870 age 40) Mary E.

I am currently researching the roots of my family, the Blums. Below is some of the information I have... George Abraham (possibly Alexander) Blum (son of John David Blum of Salem?) married Elizabeth Potts and lived in Davie County. He had a sister named Charlotte who is buried in the Bethlehem Methodist Church in Davie. George and Elizabeth had two children here, Lewis and Sarah. During the Civil War, they moved to Indiana and left George's land (my cousin told me some still refer to the 140+/- acres as the "Old Blum Place") in care of Charlotte. She married a carpetbagger (name unknown) and sold his property. When he returned, he was a pauper. His burial place is unknown. When they returned from Indiana, they had Calvin Nathaniel. There is some curiosity as to whether he was adopted since, in one census, he is listed as age 13 and his mother 63. Calvin Nathaniel Blum married Carra Emma Howard (nee James) December 25, 1889? (first child was born March 29, 1890 and yes, she was noticably pregnant in her wedding picture from my cousin's account). He moved to Rockingham County to raise tobacco, was fairly successful and died of either typhoid or cancer at an early age. But he had a penchant for mortgaging things; my cousin has a note where he mortgaged his wife's mother's family's cow and bedpost. (James). Carra Emma lived into the 1930s and had colon cancer. Both are buried at Sharon (spelling?) Church in Rockingham County. They had Ada, Etta, John, Lofton, George, Kelly and Samuel. Any information, stories, recollections those on the list may have would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone on the list know Nellie Taylor Crews? I had corresponed with her in Stoneville probably 20 years ago but cannot locate an address for her now. I think her husband had been the mayor of Stoneville at some point. Thankyou, Truman Adkins

I believe I have some data on the Donnells of Guilford Co. My great-aunt, Adelaide Cade Donnell was from Greensboro, Guilford Co. The Donnell home is where the Sears warehouse was located later on - don't know if it is still in the same site. Some info in the Greensboro Museum. They helped found several churches in Greensboro-I believe are buried in the cemetery near the First Presbyterian Church. Robin Taylor

I found the following in The Guilford Genealogist, Vol. 26, No. 1 Winter 1999 Issue No. 84 in an article titled Pennsylvania Records of Some Early Guilford Settlers by Donald R. Simpson, page 39, "The 1768 Thomas Donnell tax list for that part of Rowan County that later was Guilford County includes Henry Work, James Work, John Work, Francis McBride, Samuel Maxwell and Francis Maxwell." The article doesn't include any more information about Thomas Donnell but I believe I've seen that name associated with the Buffalo Church Community in Guilford County. -Nona nona@rof.com <mailto:nona@rof.com>   http://www.rof.com/gene <http://www.rof.com/gene> (web site) Nona Williams PO Box 3793 Santa Cruz, CA 95063 >-----Original Message----- >From: John R Vermeer [mailto:johnve@juno.com] >Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 1999 10:04 AM >To: NCROCKHA-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [NCROCKHA-L] DONNEL In NC > > >Hello, > >It appears that there may have been a few DONNEL families in NC during >the timeframe 1760-1830.

Hello, It appears that there may have been a few DONNEL families in NC during the timeframe 1760-1830. I am searching for the parents of a John Mabry DONNEL who was born around 1801. We believe that he was born in Tennessee, but we also know that his family came there from the East, NC being a strong possibility. Does anyone know anything about the North Carolina DONNELs? How about the origin of the DONNEL surname? My wife is a DONNEL from the John Mabry DONNEL line.

Karen, I descend from the Rockingham Winchesters. I have never seen a record giving the middle initial "P" to John. Where did that come from? You should also know that the surnames Coleman and Bell are pure speculation and have no basis in fact. Cathy
