> Do you know who the Nancy F. Mauney Powell is that is listed on Bill Floyd's > website with William Thomas and his family? Hello again, The 1900 Federal Census for Cleveland County, NC, identifies Nancy as Mary's mother. I think Bill, as well as the WPA workers in 1939, picked up the last name of Powell as all the people listed together have only one tombstone. It is one of the tall obelisk types with Powell as the surname. Would be natural to assume Nancy F Mauney was a Powell, but she was not unless she married one between 1900 & 1907 when she died. > Would the Rutherford County Register of Deeds have bastardy bonds or is there > possibly a book available?

There is a book lisiting the bastardy bonds available, however a quick check of my copies of the Cleveland & Rutherford County pages doesn't bring up Maggie. Best thing to do is go to the North Carolina Archives website & follow their instructions for sending e-mail queries. Give them all the info you can & ask that they check the bonds for you. Nice folks there & very helpful. http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/sections/archives/arch/default.htm No I haven't pulled the death certificates of these folks yet, but they are also available from the Archives as well as the Register of Deeds offices. > > Also, are there dates for the birth and death of Maggie's parents as well as > their parents names? I know Isaac is buried in Union Baptist Cemetery but > there are no dates listed. Uncle Isaac & Aunt Nancy both have death certificates on file in Cleveland County. Hers gives her burial place, though she has no tombstone. Uncle Isaac's stone is a government marker with only his initials & unit with which he served in the War of Northern Agression. Interestingly, William Thomas gave the info on Uncle Isaac's death certificate. Judy
