I just ran across this website that contains manuscript from the Federal Writers Project, 1936-1940. Although the file names do not always give any indication of the people being written about or being interviewed, I have found mentioned various surnames posted to the mailing list. I highly recommend you take some quiet time and begin reading them. Thus far, I have found them very informative and educational in understanding the times and some just downright amusing. <A HREF="http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/d?wpa:0:./temp/~ammem_j5Cf:">Manuscripts from Federal Writers Project, 1936-1940</A> Enjoy!

Dear List members, I'm new to this list after finding out I have early roots in Rutherford Co. I was wondering what type of land records are available online or off during the years after the Rev. War? I've been told my 5th great-grandfather, William Cornelius, and his wife Lettice, sold land in Rutherford Co. before moving to Greenville District, SC. He is listed in the 1790 Greenville, SC Census and served in the Cont. Line as a Matross from NC. Could some help me locate evidence of this, by doing a lookup in early NC Land record Books or abstracts of such books for any evidence of a Cornelius Family being granted, buying and/or selling land between the Rev. War and say 1820? Or at least guide to where online or off I can go to look for such verifications. I'd also be interested in knowing of any people named Cornelius or variations thereof that might be listed in early Rutherford Co. Marriage Books, Marriage Bonds or the like. Thank you so much for your time. Happy New Year! Robert C. Johnston, Jr. 139 Eagle Creek Drive Wetumpka, AL 36092 USA rcj@mindspring.com

I have been searching for some years for information on the family of J.B. Carpenter who I believe was a Minister... Probably Methodist. Thanks to Mr. Floyd I think I have found him but my problem is his daughter, Della Carpenter, who married Richard Lewis Doggett. Does anyone out there know whether Della was Carpenter's real child or was she adopted? Della was born about 1778 to 1880... There are so many Carpenters that I feel certain someone has researched them. I would be grateful for any information. Anne Doggett
