I have added these military records to my site. (a few have been there awhile) The only ones that belong to my family family are Samuel Stewart, Charles Webster and Rachel Webster. David Lee, Westbrook and Winnefred Tart belong to my husband's family. If anyone has any family information about 'any' of these people I would be very interested in hearing from you.

The Heritage Books for the various counties are usually put together and published by the historical societies. Many counties have published them in NC and VA. The Rockingham County Heritage Book is out of print and there are currently no plans that I know of to reprint. There was only one volume. Stokes and Surry Counties, NC had two volumes each and they may still be available. You would just need to write the historical society for more information on availability and cost which runs about $50 each. I have the books for Rockingham, Caswell, two volumes of Stokes, and Patrick Co., VA. Had the Surry Co., volumes but gave them away as a gift. I was once offered $200 for my Rockingham Co. book but of course turned that down. It is a great reference book. Elvin Perkins Jr Greensboro, NC

Does anyone know the address of the publisher of these books. There are several counties in NC I would be interested in purchasing. debora families: Alley, Bresindine, Lester, Williams and lots more in Rockingham Co.,NC

"Heritage of Stokes County" (NC) has a Volume I and a Volume II, and it has information about Rockingham County families.

I have a question please...... I know there is a Hertiage Book of Rockingham but is there other books of sort that has at least Vol 1 and Vol 2? If so what are there and I need a look up in one of them please......pj

My grandson gave me a history book called Chronicle of America. Under Pinckney: I found Thomas Pinckney, a Federalist, on Jan. 12, 1792 he was appointed the first US Minister to Britain. Charles Pinckney a Constitution delegate from South Carolina. He was appointed in 1797 to a 3 man commission to negotiate a settlement with France (appointed by Adams). In 1804 he was on the Federalist Ticket, ran & lost to Jefferson. I guess this is why so many southern families made it a given name. Unless my Moore family is related to the Pinckney family. More Moore research needed.

I am researching my John Moore family. John born about 1782 in MD moved to NC married Betsey Lemmon & raised a large family. He moved to Cole County, MO about 1840. Is there anyone else researching this family? There is also a son named Pinckney Moore. Where does this given name come from?
