Hello: I am looking for information on the parents of Mariah Mahale who was born 1837 in Vermont but I have reason to believe that her parents may have been from North Carolina. She was married to James Newton Alcorn on March 10, 1857. If you have any information on the surnames name of Mahale, Mahaley, Mahala I would most appreciate your contact. Sharon

Nor wanting to waste your time, but was wondering if you are just reseaching these names in this message or if you might be able to help with other surnames? I am trying to find NC infomation about Joseph and Ephriam Potter. Mary bergie@inebraska.com

Wayne, Here is what I have on John Banner. Most of what appears on our page was contributed by Judy Cardwell who is an expert on this Banner family. In 1751 Henry Banner and his wife, Eleanor, and their son Joseph are mentioned - "Joseph Banner of Stokes County was born in 1749 in Pennsylvania and moved to North Carolina in 1751. Henry Banner settled in what was then called Anson County, now Stokes, on Town Fork, near the present village of Germantown." Henry applied for two grants from Lord Granville on March 3, 1752, one for 640 acres (on Buffalo Creek) and another for 640 acres (Dorethea Creek, now called Muddy Creek). These two grants are in the name of Henry Bonner. Children of Henry Banner (1727-1789) and Eleanor Martin (c1730-c1789) Joseph Banner Sr. (1749-1838) m. Sarah McAnally (1755-1843) d/o Capt. Charles McAnally & Ruhamah Houston Ephriam Banner Sr.(twin) (1753-1838) m. 1) Sarah Martin (1755-1792), d/o Abraham Martin; 2) Elizabeth Hartgrove (1775-1847); d/o James Hartgrove and Susanna H. Lankford Benjamin Banner Sr. (twin) (1753-bef. 1840) m. Sarah Clayton (1754-before 1840) d/o Stephen Clayton and Mary Dennum John Banner (1757-1799, VA) m.Catherine Elizabeth "Caty" Rackenpaugh Charity Banner (1764-1817) m. John Clayton/Cleaton (1759-bef. 1801) (brother of Sarah Clayton) http://www.erols.com/fmoran/banner.html Best regards, Faye At 02:33 PM 1/6/00 -0500, FBanner@aol.com wrote: >I, like so many of you, have hit a brick wall as far as John Banner, Sr., who was born about 1752.

I do know for a fact that Henry was wounded in action at the Battle of Resaca,Georgia ( one of their most intense battles ). and that he fought in the battle of Chicamaugua. Info from John Koehler Henry B. Canter was listed as a Private age 42, occupation laborer. This would change his birth year that we have listed as 1815 to 1820. 1850 Annotated Census, Washington County,Va. Henry Canter,26, Farmer, Paulina,26,Sarah,11,Mary,9,Robert W.7,Jas.,5,Andrew,2 ( 1860). Henry Canter,48,Pauline,44,Sarah,20,Mary,18,Robert,16,James,14,Andrew,10, Margaret,3,Martin,1. 1860 census- Canter, Henry 40 , day laborer, Paulina,44, housekeeper, Sarah,20,spinster, Mary,18,spinster, Robert,16, day laborer, James, 14, Andrew, 10, Margaret,3, Martin,1. There is another Henry Canter listed in this 1860 census, ( I don't know if he is "ours" but will note him here for later reference, Canter,Henry,age 30, a carpenter, Lucinda,age 21, house keeper, Robert age 2. Emory Post Office. 5'9'', blue eyes, light hair. From Civil War Document. There is another Henry Canter listed 1860 census, age 30, carpenter, Lucinda, age 21, housekeeper, Robert, 2. Not sure about this Henry. If anyone is searching the same Henry B.Canter s/o Levi Canter and Sarah please contact Connie/ Bruisedbrn@aol.com Thank You.

I, like so many of you, have hit a brick wall as far as John Banner, Sr., who was born about 1752. I cannot find his wife's maiden name and whether he was married in North Carolina. His first child, John Banner, Jr., was born in North Carolina, apparently Rowan County, on June 21, 1784. I do have the following information about John. He enlisted in the NC militia in the Salisbury District. A pay voucher, dated March 24, 1784, Salisbury District, NC, shows that John Banner received payment of 16 pounds, 6 pence for militia service by the auditors March 24, 1784. He filed for a land grant December 17, 1778 and received 300 acres in Rowan County, which was issued May 18, 1789, entry No. 1530, Book No. 71, page 87, at Hambee's Creek. He soon after moved to Wythe County, Virginia and was back in NC in 1791 when he sold his land there. All his other children were born in Wythe County, which later became Grayson County. He died in Russell Co., VA in 1798. His wife's maiden name has been mentioned as Rackenbaugh, also Rosenbaum, or variations of both. Any new information about John will be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am looking for information on Drury HODGES. He was born ca 1755. I have heard he was possibly born in NC. He was in Greenville County, SC in 1790, 1800 and 1810. I believe this is the same Drury HODGES that was in Pike County, MS in 1820. He is believed to have died bet 1835-1840. I would like to hear from anyone who is researching this man or knows anything about him or his family. Thanks in advance, Shelly Hodges famsearch@home.com
