My gggrandfather, Joe Propes, f. abt 1829, and wife Elizabeth Cooper Propes, b abt 1830, were in the 1850 census in Rutherford County and I have a document showing Joseph deeding property to H.M. Propes in 1907 in Rutherford County. I cannot find any information after that. It's as if he vanished after that time. I know that two of his children moved to Whitmire, S.C and possibly spent some time in York County, S.C. I am unable to trace any further for either Joe or Elizabeth than 1907. Is there someone who could do a lookup for a death certificate in North Carolina for either of these folks? Any information would be appreciated. Barbara Propes McCollum
