As a lapsed member of the RCHS, I appreciate your concerns. I also remember and respect Bob Carter. Please give him my best regards. And *who* are you? Have we met? I prefer to see people sign their strong and carefully penned opinions, there's too many anonymous opinions on the net. --- Mike Warren <http://www.netunlimited.net/~mwarren/> Sine Nomine Farm, Tobaccoville, NC

I have the books Early Families of the North Carolina Counties of Rockingham and Stokes with Revolutionary Service, vols. 1 and 2. Colquitts are in Vol. 2, p. 23-24. Ransom's father is given as Jonathan, from Halifax Co. Married Susanna Baker. Children are Christian , Robert married Edith Vernon, daughter of Richard Vernon, moved with the Vernons to Williamson Co., TN, William H., Catherine married Mr. Curtis, Anna. Ransome served during the entire war in Capt. John Watts Company of Light Dragoons attached to the 1st Regiment. I believe you answered your own questions about the relationship - as an uncle by marriage, he could have signed the marriage bond for Baker. Ransome was born 1752 and died 9-22-1825 in Rockingham Co. Susanna born 1755 and died 6-2-1845 . Hope this helps . Didn't find a will for Ransome in my will book. Robin Taylor

About 1785, just after their marriage, Ransome, a Revol. War vet, and Susannah BAKER Colquitt moved from Halifax Co., VA. to Rockingham Co. where they raised about 5 children. They split up about 1811 and Ransome remarried in 1812. Susannah returned to VA., Kanawha Co., where she died abt. 1846 after having gotten a widow's pension (W-6742) in Ransome's name. In 1815, Ransome was the bondsman at the wedding of Cassandra Cabot Colquitt to Martin BAKER, nephew of Susannah, in KY. At that time, KY. did not allow females to sign legal documents and required "a father or brother" to sign for all brides. WHAT was Ransome's relationship to Cassandra? Does anyone have information regarding Ransome and Susannah? Does anyone have access to this 20 year old book, EARLY FAMILIES IN ROCKINGHAM AND STOKES COUNTIES WITH REVOLUTIONARY SERVICE, Vol. II that contains information about these Colquitts? Hoping, Elizabeth, Cassandra's gr3grandaughter

Unless Bob Carter is willing to give permission on a retroactive basis, and I personally don't think he should, given the circumstances, I think the material Ms. Louise Overton posted should be deleted from the list archives. His copyright must and should be respected. Cathy Gowdy

Beginning September 9, Ms Louise T. Overton provided the Rockingham County List with a ten part series she entitled "Mill Sites in Simpsonville Township." I contacted Mr. Bob Carter who had written an article under a similar title in the April and October Issues of The Journal of Rockingham County History and Genealogy and he recognized right away that it was that part of his original article that concerned Troublesome Iron Works. He was very upset about this unauthorized use of his article and his research particularly because those Journal Issues are still available and for sale by the Rockingham County Historical Society. As a Director of the Historical Society and a subscriber to the Rockingham Rootsweb List, I am likewise conceerned. Without question, Ms.Overton has done a service to subscribers of the Rockingham County List but I think we have got to honor copyright laws and respect authors and their original research. Also, we cannot undercut publications of the Society, DAR Chapters, or Genealogical Societies by reprinting material they have published and still have for sale. Quoting from such sources or doing look-ups as a service is certainly acceptable but I think anyone who has spent hours on research and writing can appreciate the concern voiced here, if they saw their work used in the way this material was. I don't want to take issue with Ms. Overton's good intentions. I also would hate to see the wonderful potential of the Rockingham County Rootsweb List, to make an unlimited new resource for historians and genealogists, become a source of controversy by the unauthorized appropriation of other person's original research.

Lemmons 3 " Rachel 2 " Another son, John S. was born in 1863. This family must be related to the other Lemons listed in the 1860 Rockingham census. They are next found in Grayson Co VA in the 1870 census as Lemons. Any and all info will be greatly appreciated as I cannot find anything more. Helen Quillen

Part #10 This post includes the surnames of MacLAMROC, PATRICK, ALCORN, WRIGHT, TALLEY, BAKER, HOWERTON, HOPKINS, GRIFFIN, SHREVE Mill Sites in Simpsonville Township Rockingham Co. NC IRON WORKS Mill (site) is located on Troublesome Creek, NC State Road 2423, approximately 1.5 miles north of Monroeton. In operation as early as 1770. ************************************************************ Bill GRIFFIN operated the Iron Works sawmill by water power for a few years beginning about 1920. The race was divided so both the sawmill and mill could operate independently; however there was insufficient water to operate both at the same time. Either J.R. SHREVE or Zilmon GRIFFIN attempted to increase the volume of water by raising the dam eighteen inches with dirt and rock. As the timber upstream was cut the lake continued to silt with mud. The problem became so bad that during the 1920's a turbine was installed. Iron Works was frequently used by churches as a place for baptisms. Probably the largest ever held there was in October 1927 when after a revival, over forty people from a Reidsville church were baptized. The "baptizing hole" was not in the lake, but in the creek behind the mill. By World War 11 there was often insufficient water to operate the turbine, and during the war a large motor was installed to operate the mill. Shortly after the war ended the milling operations at the Iron Works ceased. Some of the millers from the 1920's into the 1940's included Mr ALCORN, Mr WRIGHT, Frank TALLEY, Reuben BAKER and his father-in-law Mr HOWERTON and "Shorty" HOPKINS In September 1954 after two drought condition summers the GRIFFIN heirs allowed the City of Reidsville to break the dam to obtain drinking water. The GRIFFIN heirs sold the Iron Works property at auction in October 1968. In December 1968 the third Iron Works Mill on the site burned to the ground. The house built by James PATRICK in 1833/4 burned on 29 October 1976. The Iron Works property was purchased by Colonel James G. W. MacLAMROC of Guilford County in 1968.

Part #9 This post includes the surnames of WADE, BOYD, MOORE, NEAL, SMOTHERS, GRIFFIN, SHREVE, and SCOTT Mill Sites in Simpsonville Township Rockingham Co. NC IRON WORKS Mill (site) is located on Troublesome Creek, NC State Road 2423, approximately 1.5 miles north of Monroeton. In operation as early as 1770. ************************************************************ The great freshet of 1912 fell on March 14 and 15th, the mill dams at nearby WADE's and BOYD's mills were washed out. The "Reidsville Review stated "the big dam at the Iron Works held, but water made its way around the dam by side of the dam, cutting a hole large enough to hold a large building." James S. MOORE (1852-1917) was the miller at the time of the great freshet. Iron Works Mill burned to the ground in March 1915. J.R. SHREVE purchased George D. BOYD's antebellum mill on Piney Creek from Hugh R. SCOTT and had the building disassembled and moved two miles to Iron Works. By 15 September, the structure had been rebuilt on the old Mill site. The late Hugh P. GRIFFIN Sr, later a part owner , stated in 1950 that the mill rebuilt there was "actually the old BOYD mill house, moved there after Iron Works Mill burned in 1915." Among those who helped relocate BOYD's Mill at Iron Works were Bill GRIFFIN, James S. MOORE and son Thomas MOORE, Woodson MOORE, Tom NEAL, Mr SMOTHERS and Mr NEAL..... On 21 February 1919 J.R. SHREVE sold the Iron Works property to Zilmon W. GRIFFIN (1852-1929). GRIFFIN a large land owner at Monroeton, had owned and operated WADE's Mill on Glady Creek, less than one mile north of Iron Works. GRIFFIN closed WADE's Mill about the time he purchased Iron Works and continued for years to move machinery to repair Iron Works Mill. In 1920 Zilmon GRIFFIN built Iron Works Store which continued in operation into the early 1950's. Sources: Rockingham Deeds Book 149 page 112 ....Book 173 page 12,...
