Hi, this is my first posting. I'm seeking other descendants of the NC families below. They were all in these locations as early as 1700's and, most, through mid - late 1800's. There are too many details to include, but if any of you have one of these as a family name, I'd love to hear from you! Nancy Brister BALDRIDGE---Orange County CARMICHAEL---Richmond County COURTNEY---Onslow, Craven Counties CURTIS---Onslow, Craven Counties DAWKINS---Randolph, Richmond Counties DOTY---Onslow County McCORMICK---Richmond, Scotland Counties STRINGER---Onslow County WARREN---Onslow County Nancy Website: www.geocities.com/twincousin2334 List Admin.: USCW-Seven_Pines; Carmichael; Cates; Fairley; Godbold; OldWestOutlaws&IndianScouts; Message Board Admin.: Missouri Civil War; Fairley; Godbold; Richmond County, NC; Caithness, Scotland

I am looking for a connection to my ggg-grandfather George Roddey/Roddy. He was married to Adaline Morris, who was shown to be born in North Carolina. The lived in Lawrence Co, Ala in 1850. I have not found their marriage record in Alabama, so am trying to find out if they may have been married in NC. Any Morris and/or Roddey/Roddy connections on this list?/ Thanks for any help.

I know that this list is for Genealogy Topics, but i need to get in touch with my Cousin Diane Janis, because i have information about my Bigg's roots, that she might like to receive.

Who are Rosalie's parents? Rosalie Payne first appears in the 1870 census for Cowee twp, Macon Co., NC with the Calvin G. Shepherd family. Rosalie Payne, age 1 is the last entry after John J. Shepherd 19 and Mary E. Shepherd 18, leading me to believe that John and Mary are married and Rosalie the daughter of Mary. Rosalie Payne first appears in the 1870 census for Cowee twp, Macon Co., NC with the Calvin G. Shepherd family. Rosalie Payne, age 1 is the last entry after John J. Shepherd 19 and Mary E. Shepherd 18, leading me to believe that John and Mary are married and Rosalie the daughter of Mary. She next appears in 1880 in Cowee, Macon Co. NC. Joshua J. is Head, Mary E. is wife and Rosa L. Shepherd age 11 is stepdaughter to Joshua. In 1900 Cowee, Macon Co. NC, Rosa L. Shepherd age 30 is wife of Joshua J. Shepherd. Married 10 years, she has five children all living. She will have a total of nine children. In 1930 Rosalie is a widow and living in Beaverdam, Haywood Co. with her two youngest sons Carey and Norman D. She died 23 Jan 1949 and buried in the Shepherd Memorial Cemetery, Cowee, NC. I have a strong feeling she is connected to the Asa Payne family, possibly his granddaughter, does anyone know who her parents are? Ruth Campbell, 2nd great granddaughter to Asa.

If you have access to Macon County Marriage Records, I would really appreciate your looking for the marriage of Joshua J. SHEPHERD/SHEPARD to Mary E. (___) abt 1869/70 and then to Rosa Lee (Rosalie) PAYNE abt 1890/91. They lived in Cowee from 1870 til his death in 1826. Thanks much, Ruth Campbell

Dear Florence, Having just rejoined this list after an absence of about 5 years, I was not aware of your husband's illness. Please know, however, that I am here in Arizona thinking of you. I've not faced your kind of loss myself, but I did lose my only sibling to a drunk driver 6 years ago. So, I am praying to our Lord for your peace and asking my sister to help your husband settle into the wonderful Kingdom that is His.

From: Janice R Freeman mcdade-dna@juno.com To: ALL McDADE Descendants Announcing: McDADE-DNA Project Visit: the Sept McDade Clan Davidson home page at mcdade.bravepages.com and go to the: McDade Surname DNA Project page under Table of Contents If you have questions, contact me at McDADE-DNA@juno.com You can read more about DNA Testing through the Links at mcdade.bravepages.com or FamilyTreeDNA.com. We are inviting Y O U to participate in our McDADE-DNA Project which we are expecting to be a valuable asset to our paper trail research to show how our various McDADE lines throughout the world may be connected thru : 1. your direct participation if you are a direct line McDADE male descendant (direct male in your McDADE line all the way back to your earliest known McDADE ancestor, including yourself) by participating in the DNA testing. OR 2. your indirect participation (because you are or became a male descendant of a McDADE daughter at some point in your McDADE line OR are a McDADE daughter) by finding the fathers, brothers, uncles, nephews, cousins that are direct line male McDADE descendants in your family and urging them to participate under 1. above. First, if it is at all possible, please participate in the 25 marker test as this gives us a much better analysis of the known, possible, or potential relationships. Each and every participant is an important link in connecting our various lines whether our ancestor was an early arrival in the 1600's or 1700's or a later arrival in the 1800's or 1900's in Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand, USA, etc. Our ancestors may have come directly from Scotland or via Ireland, but with McDADE as the primary spelling, we are probably all cousins in one way or another. You may contact me at any time if you have questions. There is no medical connection with any of this, just a check on the male DNA markers that are passed father to son almost intact for many generations, with an occasional mutation. It is especially important to have a male participate (regardless of age) if the male is the only or one of two male McDADE descendants of a father, grandfather or great grandfather. Unfoutunately, the daughters can not do this for this particular easy, efficient, and economical test. I hope you will participate in the launching of this great project for our McDADE's everywhere. Please inform others you feel should be contacted or send me names, e-mail addresses, and or snail addresses and phone numbers for other McDADE kin. I can't wait to see how our markers reveal our potential relationships, especially if many of you will select the 25 plus marker DNA test.
