My link is Lucy Ellis, daughter of Francis and Sarah Ellis of Rowan County. Lucy married William Wheeler 2/15/1791. They moved to Southern Illinois in the early 1800s and had several children apparently prior to the move. I hope this helps. Brenda Canter

Want to know what it was like for civilians in WWII? I found this preview of my local PBS station offering (I live in Virginia). I am sure it will be shown all over the U.S. but perhaps at different times. I expect it will be well worth watching. Consult your local listings or go to www.pbs.org in whatever area you live in. I don't know if it will also be shown in the U.K., but I would think it was made there. Members of my family in England and Wales lived through this in their childhoods. 1940s House - London, England WHRO - TidewaterVA (ch.15 or 5) November 06, 2002 8:00pm November 07, 2002 1:30am One modern family takes on the challenge of domestic life on Britain's home front in 1940s HOUSE, a re-creation of a World War II household. This time-travel experiment covers the period from the outbreak of the war in 1939 to Victory Day in 1945, compressing the events of six wartime years into two months. Though the military threat is metaphorical, the privations are real and the pressures create tensions nonexistent in modern society. 1940s HOUSE airs on PBS Wednesday, November 6, 2002 (check local listings). Geoffrey Palmer ("As Time Goes By," "Mrs. Brown") hosts. The three-generation Hymers family -- mother Lyn, father Michael, daughter Kirstie and her sons Ben, 10, and Thomas, seven -- learns to exist on ever-diminishing rations and builds and takes refuge in an air raid shelter. In the wartime shop, they find that severe shortages are the order of the day: coal, cigarettes, toilet paper, even soap and toothpaste are subject to limited supply. A "war cabinet," composed of historians and scientists with special knowledge of the war, monitors the family's progress and steers the course of the experiment. 1940s House (parts one, two and three of three) Wednesday, November 6, 2002 8 - 11:00 pm Meet the Hymers, a modern family traveling back in time (a la "Frontier House") to live in a World War II-era household in London, from the outbreak of the war in 1939 to Victory Day in 1945. Though the military threat is metaphorical, the day-to-day elements of World War II life are real and the pressures create tensions nonexistent in modern society. Follow the family's struggles with blackouts, food rationing, antiquated household appliances and more. (CC, Stereo) Betty Pace

For history buffs. Betty Pace <snip> From: "Linda Brunner" <lbrunner@netcarrier.com> To: NCGUILFO-L@rootsweb.com Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2002 07:40:30 -0500 Subject: [NCGuilford] New Regulator Book There is a newly published book on Regulators that I just finished and recommend to anyone interested in Regulator history: "Breaking Loose Together: The Regulator Rebellion in Pre-Revolutionary North Carolina," by Marjoleine Kars, University of North Carolina Press, 2002. It's a trade paperback for $20. An historical rather than a genealogical book, it covers a lot of territory other than just the petitions, riots and battle at Alamance, including the economic and social life of the Piedmont farmers, class issues, religious thought, legal problems, the political climate of the Stamp Act, and the tensions between the Eastern and Piedmont areas of North Carolina. It is heavily referenced and has a killer bibliography for those like me who are always looking for new books. It's a really good book if you like history. The author's conclusions were interesting to me too, given that I have read in several places that the area between the Haw and Deep Rivers was a hotbed of Tory sympathies because of the Regulation and the subsequent oaths of allegiance. Here are some quotes to show what I mean: P. 204. After Tryon devastated the back country following the rout at Alamance, "Soaked and disheartened, thousands of Piedmont farmers waded across swollen streams to deliver up their arms and to take the hated oath. While Tryon's army was camped at Husband's plantation on Sandy Creek, 1,300 alone came to take the oath. Eventually, more than 6,400 men , or about three-quarters of the free male population of the Piedmont took the oath...." P. 208. "Once news of the Battle of Alamance spread, sympathy for the Regulation grew outside of North Carolina.... Sons of Liberty stressed the parallels between themselves and the Regulators.... North Carolina Sons of Liberty labored hard to undercut this initial impression beyond the colony...." [This is the tension between the ruling elite in eastern NC and the backcountry farmers.] P. 212-3. "In the years before the War of Independence, it was increasing clear to North Carolina elites that many Piedmont inhabitants had little sympathy for the Whig cause.... Piedmont inhabitants, like most colonists, took their stand on the revolutionary cause based on religious and political principles as well as a broad understanding of political realities, resentment of those, both Tories and Whigs, who had so recently defeated them, and a desire not to get burned again. ...the Moravians remarked in their diary that '...the last Regulator Rebellion, which cost many lives and brought many into poverty and need [because of Tryon's indiscriminate burning of crops and farms], has made people afraid of hurting themselves again...'" P. 213. "Many radical preachers advocated pacifism or outright opposition to the anti-imperial cause.... Others advocated, and enforced, neutrality....[Minister James] Miles claimed to have effected a union of ten churches in the Piedmont which agreed to remain neutral...." P. 214. "Whether North Carolina farmers decided to throw in their lot with the Tories or the Whigs, or tried to remain aloof from the conflict, none of them saw the fundamental changes they had fought for in the Regulation become reality. The war for American Independence brought vicious and costly civil conflict to the Piedmont, but when it was over, much the same men and the same social system remained in place." . ______________________________
