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).
