Author: plumfine Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.rowan/12286.2.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I had posted this earlier on this list when we were discussing the possibility of John Lewis Baity (his tombstone has John Louis Baity) being the son of George Enoch Francis Baity. When I put John F. or L. Baity in the last post it was just referring to that discussion. Here is what I posted in case you missed it: "George Enoch Francis Baity's son is shown on the 1880 census as John F. Baity, b. abt. 1873. The "F" could be another middle name or an error. It's all part of the big puzzle but I agree it strongly suggests that he is the son of George Enoch. John L. Baity is shown is 1930 census at Salisbury, Rowan, NC, age 58, b.abt. 1872, spouse, Eliza B. with children, Marvin D. age 24, Dallas K. age 20, George E. age 16, Odell O., age 13. The son George E. is possibly named for George Enoch." Which address do you want, my email or snail mail address?

The son George E. is possibly named for George Enoch. In 1920 census at Salisbury, Rowan, NC, children are Marvin age 16, Beatrice age 13, Dallas age 10, Elsie age 6, Adell age 3-8/12 1910 census at Salisbury, Rowan, NC, the children are Marvin, Beatrice and Dallas. John and Eliza had been married 10 years, they had 4 children born and one died which I suspect is the Dewwy Flake Baity buried beside them.

I have a William M. WILSON ([email protected]). He married Caroline EARNHART in 1857 in Rowan County. Their child was Clara Bell WILSON (1858-1943), my ggrandmother, who married John Fletcher PACE (1844-1901Rowan). William M. WILSON was living in the Shaver Hotel (Mansion House) in Salisbury in the 1850 census. He was 29 years old and a silversmith. He may have had a previous marriage because the age difference between himself and Caroline EARNHART is 17 years. The fact that he was living in a hotel implies there was no immediate family in Salisbury. William M. WILSON died before May 1864, as that is when his estate was settled in Salisbury. There is a W. MORGAN WILSON shown in Co. C, 8th NC Regiment from Rowan; he was said to have died in Salisbury while home on furlough, possibly of wounds/disease--no date given (Jethro Rumple book Roll of Honor). I do not know if this is the same person as my William M. WILSON as Rumples' ages don't match the 1850 census exactly. I would love to know his parents' names and would share later information on my family. Please reply to [email protected]
