List Readers: I am very interested in knowing if the county has done a survey of their cemetery burials. I am interested in the name HERBEN-HERBIN-HARBIN, aney and all of them. John & William HERBIN were there 1800-1830, sometimes in seperate households, sometimes in a combined household. In 1830 they were together with 52 in the household, including 14 male slaves & 24 female slaves! Which also makes me wonder what Rockingham county was like. Would that have been a tobacco area or what that they had that needed that much help? Any help would be appreciated in sorting out this family. Joan Marie in Oregon

I am searching for the gravesites of my ggg-grandparents, Robert Rhodes who married Candis Queen Clark. They were residents of Orange co. but thought I would give Rockingham a try since it is relatively close and I was not able to find anything in Orange or Durham Counties. If anyone has these names in their database please contact me at angela@cocentral.com Thanks, Chris

Hi List, I am a new subscriber researching surnames SOMERS, SARTIN. I'm seeking information on the Lick Fork Primitive Baptist Church. My elusive GGGgrandfather, Pharoah Somers, was a member of the church in 1824. I hope to determine some information concerning his parents. The first information I have on him is that he was one of two orphan boys who were indentured to a George Summers in Caswell County, NC in 1799. The boys were Zeri, age 12 and Pharis, age 10. Pharis (I have seen his name in many forms, but I believe his name was Pharoah as that is what is used for his widow's pension application as a veteran of the War of 1812). If anyone has the church's mailing address or telephone number, or any information on Pharoah, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, John -- John B. Summers Houston, Texas http://www.hal-pc.org/~jbsum/family/history.html

I'm searching for any information about any Sutton families who were in Rockingham Co. in 1830. Can anyone help with this please? I appreciate all help. Thanks much,, Gerri Ann Stanley-Lockman

I am seeking information about William H.A. HOWARD. According to the 1925-6 issues of the Bulletin, Journal of the National Association of Teachers in Negro Schools, he was a resident of Rockingham. Two years earlier, he was in Smithfield, Johnston, NC and was principal of the training school there. Before that, he had been associated with Florida A &M C in Tallahassee for almost 15 years and had served a term as Acting President. William was married to Frances McLeon and they had at least one child, a daughter, Harriet. Any help, hints will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Ron Batiste (Ronbatiste@aol.com)

I would be very interested in this book if it exists. Please email me and let me know. Thanks to all in advance Marilyn mdietz1@bellsouth.net Senegal2 wrote: > Are there any books available on the early families of Rockingham County, 1770's?
