    1. [NCROOTS] census records / unoccupied
    2. I just came across my gggrandfather in Sampson County records. The visit was numbered, but instead of the head of household, "unoccupied" was written on the first line. My gggrandfather, George L. Giddens, and another man were listed under "unoccupied" as they appeared to be living at that residence. Any other ideas??

Sometimes a neighbor gave the information about who lived there (which helps explain why some of the information can be so far off, or vary so wildly from one census to the next), sometimes it seems like the residence was simply ignored completely. And it appears on some occasions, that rather than going door-to-door, that the census taker may have set up shop at the courthouse or post office, and tried to get everyone to come to him. So, not surprisingly, the census records are frequently inaccurate and incomplete. I've got a family group that doesn't appear in any census, ever. Apparently good old Elijah had no desire whatsoever to talk to a census taker <g>. And he didn't! He appears in other records (apparently getting a deed to his land seemed important to him), but there's absolutely no census record for him...

    1. [NCROOTS] Regulators Petition
    2. Signers of Petition - Regulators Petition dated 9 October 1769. "Mr. Speaker and Gen't of the Assembly.Humbly Showeth: That the Province in General labour under general grievances, and the western part thereof under particular ones; which we not only see, but very sensibly feel, being crouch'd beneath our sufferings and not withstanding our sacred privileges, have too long yielded ourselves slaves to remorseless oppression. - Permit us to conceive it to be our inviolable right to make known our grievances, and to petition for redress as appears in the Bill of Rights pass'd in the reign of King Charles the first, as well as the Act of Settlement of the Crown of the Revolution. We therefore beg leave at the Act of the Settlement of the Crown of the Revolution. We therefore beg leave to lay before you a specimen thereof that your compassionate endeavors may tend to the relief of your injured Constituents, whose distressed condition call aloud for aid. The alarming cries of the oppressed possibly may reach your ears; but without your zeal how they shall ascend the throne - how relentless is the breast without sympathy, the heart that cannot bleed on a view of our calamity; to see tenderness removed, cruelty stepping in; and all our liberties and privileges invaded and abridg'd (by as it were) domestickes; who are conscious of their guilt and void of remorse. - O how darling! how relentless whilst impending Judgements loudly threaten and gaze upon them, with every emblem of merited destruction. A few of the many grievances are as follows, (viz't) 1. That the poor inhabitants in general are much oppress'd byreason of the disproportionate Taxes, and those of the westernCounties in particular; as they are geneally in mean circumstances.2. That no method is prescribed by law for the payment of thetaxes of the Western Counties in produce (in lieu of a currency) asin other Counties within this Province to the Peoples great oppression.3. That Lawyers, Clerks, and other petitioners; in place of beingobsequious Servants for the Country's use, are become a nuisance,as the business of the people is often transacted without the leastdegree of fairness, the intention of the law evaded, exorbitant feesextorted, and the sufferers left to mourn under their oppressions.4. That an Attorney should have it in his power, either for thesake of ease or interest, or to gratify their malevolence and spite,or commence suits to what courts he pleases, however inconvenientit may be to the Defendants; is a very great oppression.5. That all unlawful fees taken in Indictment, where theDefendant is acquited by his Country (however customary it may be)is an oppression.6. That Lawyers, Clerks, and others, extorting more fees than isintended by law; is also an oppression.7. That the violation of the King's Instructions to his Delegates,their artfulness in concealing the same from him; and the great injurythe People thereby sustains: is a manifest oppression. And for remedy whereof, we take the freedom to recommendthe following mode of redress, not doubting audience and acceptancewhich will not only tend to our relief, but command prayers at a dutyfrom your humble Petitioners. 1. That at all elections each suffrage be given by Ticket & Ballot. 2. That the mode of Taxation be altered, and each person pay in proportion to the proffits arising from his Estate. 3. That no future tax be laid in Money, until a currency is made. 4. That there may be established a Western as well as a Northern and Southern District, and a Treasurer for the same. 5. That when a currency is made it may be let out by a loan office (on land security) and a Treasurer for the same 6. That all debts above 60s (shillings) and under 10 pounds be tried and determined without lawyers, by a jury of six freeholders, impaneled by a Justice, and that their verdict be enter'd by the said Justice, and be a final judgement. 7. That the Chief Justice have no perquisites, but a Salary only. 8. That Clerks be restricted in respect to fees, costs, and other things within the course of their office. 9. That Lawyers be effectively Barr'd from exacting and extorting fees. 10. That all doubts may be removed in respect to the payment of fees and costs on Indictments whereas the Defendant is not found guilty by the jury, and therefore acquited. 11. That the Assembly make known the Remonstrance to the King, the conduct of the cruel and oppressive Receiver of the Quit Rents, for omitting the customary easie and effectual method of collecting by distress, and pursuing the expensive mode of commencing suits in the most distant Courts. 12. That the Assembly in like manner make known that the Governor and Council fo frequently grant lands to as many as they think proper without regard to Head Rights, notwithstanding the contrariety of his Majesties instructions, by which means immence sums has been collected, and numerous Patents granted, for much of the most fertile lands in this Province, that is yet uninhabited and cultivated, environed by great numbers of poor people who are necessitated to toil in the cultivation of bad Lands whereon they hardly can subsist, who are thereby deprived of His Majesties liberality and Bounty nor is there the least regard paid to the cultivation clause in said Patent mentioned, as many of the said Council as well as their friends and favorites enjoy large quanitities of Lands under the above-mentioned circumstances. 13. That the Assembly communicates in like manner the Violation of His Majesties Instructions respecting the Land Office by the Governor and Council, and of their own rules, customs and orders. If it be sufficiently proved, that after they had granted Warrants for some Tracts of Land, and that the same was in due time suvey'd and returned and the Patent fees timely paid into the said office; and that if a private Council was called to avoid spectators, and peremptory orders made that Patents should not be granted; and Warrants by their orders arbitrarily to have been issued in the names of other Persons for the same Lands, and if when intreated by a solicitor they refus'd to render so much as a reason for their so doing, or to refund any part of the money paid by them extorted. 14. That some method may be pointed out that every Improvement on Lands in any of the Proprietors part be proved when begun, by whom, and every sale made, that the eldest may have the preference of at least 300 acres. 15. That all taxes in the following Counties be paid as in other Counties in the Province (i.e.) in the produce of the County and that warehouses be erected as follows (viz), In Anson County at Isom Haleys Ferry Landing on PeeDee River, Rowan and Orange at Cambleton in Cumberland County, Mecklenburg at __?___ on the Catawba River, and in Tryon County at __?__ on __?__ River. 16. That every denomination of People may marry according to their respective mode Ceremony and customs after due publication or License. 17. That Doc't Benjamin Franklin or some other known patriot be appointed agent, to represent the unhappy state of this Province to his Majesty, and to solicit the several Boards in England.

If so, could I please >request a look-up for William Smith ? > Yes, he's listed at Dobb's Parish, which is the graveyard near Bethabara where the Moravians buried persons who were "outsiders", i.e. non-Moravians. No birth date given, death 10 Nov 1780, as you say. The "camp" referred to seems to be an encampment of soldiers near Bethabara. The diary entry on November 10 says that they have been there for 19 days. The entry on November 7 says the following: This morning a man was brought from the camp; he had been shot in the body through the carelessness of another man, and appeared to be in a serious condition. The man, whose name was Schmidt, was laid in the little school-house... [this is on page 1633]. I don't see anything that says he was 75 years old. Where did you get that birthdate?
