Judy Barrett was very helpful to me in getting me a census report to let me know that Edward R Newell who was from NC was in TX in 1880, and she also got me census ifnormation that might help me trace down my Hiram Wright. She has Hiram born 1805 living in Locust Hill, Caswell County, NC in 1880 and also another Hyram living in Grant, Randolph County, NC in 1880 at age 34. Now this Hyram could be brother to my Charity Ann Wright Newell that she located for me in TX in 1880. How close to Cumberland county, NC is the above counties? Where would I get information, i.e. birth certificates, marriage certifictes, etc on the above? Thanks, everyone on this list has given me a lot of information and when I feel down, someone always finds a little tidbit to keep me interested in geneology. (G) Margaret I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free and I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me and I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God Bless AMerica. by Lee greenwood _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
