To All: Because Rowan Co., NC was broken to many counties, I have been unable to determine which counties my Herrell, Harroll ancesters may have lived in. I know there were two men named Hugh Harroll, Herrell etc. living in western in NC in 1790 and a John and William. I am hoping to find anyone who is connected to either of these men. My line appears in Burke Co about 1800 to 1810, however, there must be others out there besides ME somewhere! Thanks, G. Lee Hearl Authentic Appalachian Storyteller Abingdon, Va.

Donna Fisher: Believe we have been in contact earlier, however, your Housand (Housen) Harroll, Harrill line comes from Bedford Co., Va. and earlier, from Prince William and Fauquier counties VA. Housen Harroll, Harrill was s/o Gilbert Harroll, Harrill who settled in Bedford co., Va. and Gilbert was s/o James Harroll, Harrill of Prince William and Fauquier co., Va.. This line of the Harroll, Harrill, Harrell etc. families goes back to Northumberland and Lancaster co., Va. as early as 1650. Hope this helps you some! G. Lee Hearl Authentic Appalachian Storyteller Abingdon, Va.

Kim, Where is/was the Walls community? I have a Patrick Elkanah Davis about the same time in southern McDowell County. I'm wondering if there was a family connection Cecelia

I am working on my husbands lines in Rutherford Co. Harrell, Hamrick, Lee, Blanton, Street The earliest Harrell I have is Housand Harrell who died in 1809. Donna Fisher RNLee@kansas.net

Is this the Twitty family that was married into the Sherrill family of the Sherrill Inn? Connie Bradshaw

My Rutherford Co. ancestor was Drury Byars (c 1808-1845) who may have been son of Nathan Byars. He was in Rutherford Co. in the 1830 census living near Abraham Byars, but he later moved to Union Co. SC and died there in 1845. I think that Drury's wife Matilda and two of her children were listed in the household of Abraham Byars in the 1850 census. I would love to know the relationship between Drury and Abraham Byars. Were they just cousins or could they have been brothers? Susan -- --- Susan C.

My husband also descends from Alexander Baldridge and Jane Ramsey. Haven't done much research on this line. Just have some old records from his grandfather's work on the family tree. This line includes the Price and Boger surnames. Connie Bradshaw

I am also researching the Whiteside surname. John Washington Harris married Sarah Whiteside in ca 1816 Rutherford County. His brother, Zaddock Harris was married to Mary Ledbetter and lived in Harris, Rutherford County, NC. My husband and I visited the Zaddock Harris home which is still in the Harris family and the cemetery across the road from the house. Mary's brother, Richard Ledbetter, III is buried there as well as Zaddock and Mary Harris and many of their descendants. John and Zaddock's father was James Harris who was supposed to be married to a Spivey but I have not been able to prove that as she was deceased at the time of his death in 1829. And James' parentage is in question. Connie Bradshaw

Hezekiah Hargrave m. Susannah "Ann" McMurtry/McMurtrie (of Bedford Co VA) in December of 1785 in Rutherford Co. She was the sister of Samuel McMurtry. Hezekiah served in the NC Line in Brevard's Co in a group of men from Burke Co. His brothers, John Robert and Willis were also in the area but all of them moved west to Logan Co KY by 1800. Does anyone know of this family? Thank you, Cynthia Orth eorth2@midsouth.rr.com

There was a thomas Plumley in Rutherford County in the early 1800's. Does anyone know anything about him? Thanks Barbara

there have been a large number of emails this morning labeled ROLL CALL. It would be a HUGE help if everyone would list one or more of their surnames in the subject line. I, and others, get a tremendous volume of email. We don't have the time (or inclination) to open up each and every one. When you get 200+ a day, it's quite a hardship. If there is a surname in the subject line it will attact our attention and we might be able to give you a big boost in your searches. Happy hunting!

Researching Waters, Simmons and Lewis of Rutherford Co NC Diane in Georgia

I am researching: Philbeck, Lovelace, Wilkerson/Wilkinson, Dycus, Davis, Dixon, Green, Wright, Roach, Allen, Atkinson, Camp, Owens, Arms, McMurry,, Whisnant/Whistnant, Melton. I am trying to find my husband's GG grandfather's parents. His name was Elcanah Davis. He married Drusilla Owens. Drusilla's father was Jonas Owens. Elcanah was living with Catharine Davis, age 40, in 1850, in Rutherford Co. He is listed as Elcanney. He was born in 1826. Drusilla was born 1830-31. Living next door to Catharine Davis, is another Catharine Davis, age 80. They are living in the same area as Simon Davis's line. In or near the Wall's community. I just can't find where any of Simon's son's has had a son named Cain. I have looked for all of Simon Davis's sons and found their wives, who happened not to be named Catharine. Any help with this , would greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kim

In a message dated 2/10/2005 11:16:58 AM Eastern Standard Time, NCRUTHER-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: My data disagrees with this.... I do have Delphia Hardin married to James Bridges, but then I have her married to Berry HAMRICK, not Lovelace. This data is from "The Hamrick Generations". I have Berry Allison Lovelace, the youngest son of Asa and Susannah Hardin Lovelace, married to Mary E. Bridges 4 Jan 1866, I would assume in Cleveland Co. Mary was the daughter of Caleb and Nancy Young Bridges and was the sister of Martha Susannah Bridges, the second wife of Robert "Robbin" Green. Berry and Mary's children were Cicero Columbus Lovelace, b. 3 Apr 1867, and Burwell Victor Lovelace, b. 3 Feb 1869. Asa Lovelace was one of three Lovelace brothers who are thought to have come into Rutherford Co. in the early 1800s from Maryland via Spartanburg Co., SC. The boys Asa, Nathan, and Benjamin are thought to be sons of Barton and Lucy Watson Lovelace. There is possibly a fourth son, Samuel, who resided in Spartanburg Co., SC. Barton is believed to be the same Bartin Lovlis who is listed as a 19yo in the home of Benjamin (b. 1727) and Sarah Lovlis in Montgomery Co., MD in the 1776 census. Hope this helps.... Greg, It helped me! Anything helps me! LOL We got A LOT of lines-roots. And William Lovelace's father, was Asa? I have heard/saw the name Lewis Green. I will look through my stuff and see what I can find. Could he have went by another name?

Ms Clark, my connection to the Miller families is primarily a collateral one and I have just started searching.

If you connect to any of these would love to exchange information . Bill McKinney Spartanburg SC
