Dear, Joyce- You must be one of those Angels that come along now and then? I would appreciate it if you would jot down the following name and birth date somewhere: John Winstead ROBERTS born- Dec. 21, 1808 If you come across anything you think might be relevant in your travels, please email me. I've been searching for info about the parents of my Great Great Grand Daddy above for 46 years (on and off), so there is never a hurry. I have access to all the Federal Census rolls here back to 1790. All I know about John Winstead ROBERTS is he married in Bedford County, Tennessee to a Mary Montgomery BLAGG on Sept. 1, 1833. And there is a John Roberts and a John W. Roberts logged in the Cotton Jin ledger of a Phillips man in Bedford County, TN aorund 1834-1835. I know Mary M. BLAGG was born on the Cumberland Gap going to Tennessee from (probably) Rockingham County, NC about January 10, 1807. I know her parents were William BLAGG and Sina Knight of Rockingham County, and their parents were Caleb BLAGG and Thomas KNIGHT/Sarah Elizabeth Simpson. The BLAGGs and KNIGHTs are listed in Rockingham County in the Salisbury District on page 167 of 1790 Census. (They spelled Thomas Knight's surname Night) There also is an Elizabeth ROBERTS as Head of Household, but this is 1790 before John W. Roberts was born. In the 1800 Census of Rockingham County, NC there is a William BLAGG with a female (26-45) that I believe is Sina Knight Blagg on page 647. There are four Roberts Haed of households listed in 1800 Rockingham: Thomas, page 650; James, page 654; and Naman and Eliza both on page 668. I havn't checked the 1810 Census NC yet because each time I tried it was checked out by someone else, but I will eventually. I'm pretty sure I'll find several ROBERTS Heads of Households all over NC in 1810 and they might give me a lot of work in a process of elimination. I know everything possible to know about my John W. ROBERTS line after he went up the Mississippi and the Missouir Rivers and settled down in Ray County, MO on a farm near Richmond, MO in Grape Grove (Later called Millville) and had children from May 1836 to Oct 1846 and died in 1847. If there is anything to some family Naming Traditions of those days, I mention his first boy child was named Thomas and the second was a Henry. His last child, a Mary WINSTEAD, was given the same middle name of WINSTEAD, so there might be a connection to the surname WINSTEAD, but I can't say what it is yet. Thanks for your time. Stay warm. Stay well.

No, they aren't, but they may be available in libraries across the U.S. Everyone preparing to do research in NC should read "North Carolina Research: Genealogy and Local History" edited by Helen F. M. Leary, C.G., F.A.S.G., Second Edition, 1996. It will answer all your questions as how to find things at both the archives and at county level. I read it twice before I went to NC Archives and Rockingham County, and it is the Bible of the business. I could not find it in the Dekalb County Library here in Georgia, but bought it at Amazon by following links to Out of Print books and paid $45.00 for it. The NC Archives sells it, I think they even sell it for less. Check their website. I found it indispensible.

Thanks, Robert! I have BLAGG and KNIGHT relatives from pre-Revolutionary War Guilford/Rockingham County, North Carolina and am searching for my ROBERTS, born 1808 in NC somewhere. I appreciate your post about the book. I have no idea how to do research in NC at this time.

Hi Joyce: If you run across a Jerimiah Mize who married a Martha Alderdice please let me know. I have waited about 40 years so no need to get in any hurry now. The only thing I know is that they were (I think) on the Mt. Carmel Methodist Church Roll from about 1813 to 1818. They later went to Tenn. Jerimiah was born 1805 but I don't know who his father was. I will take info from deed, marriage, anything. Thanks so much for offering to do this. If you don't find anything quickly then don't waste you time when I know you have your own family to look for.

Hi Sue, The Rockingham USGenWeb page has a partial transcription of the 1820 US Census for Rockingham, transcribed by Mark A. Murphy. If you go to the following URL, and scroll down to p. 636, you'll see a Jeremiah Mize enumerated. If your Jerimiah Mize was not born until 1805 -- then surely the listing in the 1820 Census must be your Jerimiah's father -- because it would be very unusual for a 15 year old to have been considered a Head of Household while there were older adult males in the home. http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/nc/rockingham/census/1820extr.txt Jeremiah Mize /0 2 1 1 0 1 /0 1 0 0 1 Meaning that the 6th column shows the male was born before 1775, and the Female's 5th column shows the female was born between the years of 1776 & 1794. 2 Males were born between 1805-1810, so that would most likely be your Jeremiah Mize (Junior).

Hello all, I live in Greensboro and occassionally get to the local public library in High point which has a fantastic collection of resources for this area - Rockingham Co. included. I will be glad to look up stuff for you if you are not in a rush. I only get out once or twice a month. Also I work at the LDS FHC here so also have access to the census etc. I have the 1790 thru 1820 censuses at hand (copies) and will be glad to look up. Joyce Hibberts Greensboro, NC

Bob, do you think that the Hughes Historical maps are on line? Sue Duke Frye ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Dilworth To: NCROCKHA-L@rootsweb.com Sent: 4/9/01 5:47:39 AM Subject: Re: [NCROCKINGHAM] Finding land? No, all I copied was land when the Grantee or Grantor had a Dilworth surname. A local LDS library may be able to at least get you microfilm on the Grantee/Grantor books that you can copy the page you need and it gives you a brief description including acreage that was bought and sold. The book will have a page or two with all the transactions over a period of years. For example, I copied the pages before I hunted down the deeds and on my pages were usually 30 years of Dillard and Dilworth land transactions. If you need the actual copy of the deed, you can request it from the NC Archives after providing them with Book and page numbers. Go to their website for rates and lookup policies. Do a search for North Carolina State Archives, it's a good website, even tells you all the records and dates they hold on each county. I don't know your time frame, but remember Rockingham was formed from Guilford in 1785, and Guilford from Orange in about 1754, but depending on where they owned land, it could have been in Rowan too.

Rockingham Co. NC deeds have been filmed by the LDS Church. You can borrow the film through your local Family History Center. I have collected my deeds that way. Cathy A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour

No, all I copied was land when the Grantee or Grantor had a Dilworth surname. A local LDS library may be able to at least get you microfilm on the Grantee/Grantor books that you can copy the page you need and it gives you a brief description including acreage that was bought and sold. The book will have a page or two with all the transactions over a period of years.

Does anyone know how I would go about finding out where my ancestor's land was located in Rockingham Co.? Is there a resource for such a thing?

Yes, I just got those today. I spent the whole day in Raleigh at the archives building. Quite an experience, being my first time! I saw in a book on the Caffey line that Margaret Caffey left a share of her estate to John Roszell at her death.

Is anyone researching the Rozell or Caffey lines from Rockingham County? My line comes from the marriage of John Roszell and (Mary) Polly Caffey in 1806, Rockingham Co. John was the son of Richard Rozell and Polly was the daughter of Michael and Margaret (possibly Flowers) Caffey.

Hi all, Just got on this list to try to find a family member of Faye Jeanette BROADNAX. Faye Jeanette BROADNAX was born on March 29, 1961 to Annie Mae and Charles WILLIAMSON in Rockingham County. She departed this life Friday, October 18, 1996 at Morehead Memorial Hospital in Eden, NC. She was married to Charles BROADNAX, and to this union a daughter was born, Wykesha S. BROADNAX. She was a member of Sunny Home Baptist Church and was employed by Gilbarco in Greensboro, NC. She leaves to cherish fond memories: daughter, Wykesha Shanette BROADNAX of the home, mother, Annie Mae WILLIAMSON of Eden, NC; father, Charles WILLIAMSON, Reidsville, NC.; three sisters, Jeanette WILLIAMSON, Wanda WILLIAMSON, and Brenda MILLNER all of Eden, NC.; one brother, Charles Edward WILLIAMSON of High Point, NC.; one god-daughter, Ashiee SWANSON. I recently bought a car from Howard Lee SMITH in Amarillo, TX. He said his wife and him was moving to NC but didn't say where. I found a funeral service card in the car of this person. Doing genealogy myself I know how important these things are so I didn't want to just throw it away. I subscribe to the 2 counties on the card to see if I could find someone to send it too. Please contact me at CrazyCL52@aol.com. Happy hunting Carol

I need help locating information on these families.They are listed in the late 1700's and early 1800's. I would love to locate some descendants. This is my mother's maiden name. Robin

Posting to all my lists: Just wanted to let everyone know that my thoughts are with all of you who currently live or have loved ones living in the Pacific Northwest today. Some of my family and friends are there and so far everyone checks in unharmed with little to no damage. Hoping and wishing the same for you all!! Kymm in Huntsville, AL

Joyce, Do you know if any of your Kings were in Stokes Co NC? My husband descends from a John & Elizabeth KING, dates unknown. Their daughter, Nancy Elizabeth KING was born ca 1803 Stokes Co NC and died in 1878 Owsley Co KY. She married to Andrew J. STEELE. I know nothing else about John & Elizabeth, haven't even started researching this line yet. Have you run across this couple in your research?

The lines here descend thru his sons William and Henry. Two other sons, John and Nehemiah, went to Georgia in the 1830s. It is possible that he had two brothers who came into the area (then Rowan County) about 1780s at the same time or before he came with his family. If you have any information on any of the descendants, please contact me. We will be glad to share everything we have discovered. Among the items recently added to our collection is a photograph of Thomas' gravestone which gives his age at death pushing back the previously thought date. Mapping of the several King cemeteries is taking place. We do have a list of many of the people in these private cemeteries. The predominate question is: where did Thomas originate? The supposed origin in Somerset County, Maryland, has been disproved; however, there are many more Thomas Kings in Maryland and Virginia who may be our Thomas. Another question is that of the listing of Thomas King, Jr. in the DAR records who is noted as serving as a substitute for his father and who was born in Granville County, NC, in 1762., living later in the 96th District, SC at the time of his enlistment and later in GA, dying there in 1833. Is it possible that this Thomas Jr. is the son of our Thomas? >>
