Ira, I have Stephen Hollingsworth (1690 Cecil Co., MD- Between 1748-1754 Duplin Co., NC) married to Anne Robinson (born 1695 New Castle Co., DE) and Anne's Dad as James. As you know Sampson County was formed from Duplin County in 1784. Stephen could have died in what is now Sampson County. See http://jimcooke.tripod.com . I would appreciate anything you can correct or add. I am in the process of updating the HOLLINGSWORTHs. Hope to finish next week.

I am connected to the following families and would love more on them if anyone connects. I would love to hear from you if you do. I am connected to the Faircloth line through, Raiford Faircloth, son of Samuel Faircloth and Elizabeth Unknown. Raiford had children: Jane Faircloth Mary Faircloth Lucy Faircloth Nancy Faircloth m Reddin Williams ( my line) Levi Faircloth Eli Faircloth James Faircloth Raiford was married to Martha Jones. Raiford and several children as well as Reddin Williams are buried in the Raiford Faircloth Family Cemetery near Autryville, Sampson County, NC. I would love more contact with others from this line. I understand Samuel is buried in the same county, and near Raiford, but not the same cemetery. I do not know the exact location though. Reddin Williams had children of : Charles Andrew Williams Alexander Williams Levy James Reddin Williams Earnest Evander "Tobe" Williams Lucy Narcissa Williams Louis Raeford "Bud" Williams Lucy died and Reddin re-married Chelline Cannady (possibly not her maiden name) and they had Lora Jane Williams Chelline had a son brought into this marriage named Ernie Cannady I have much more on the Williams line as well as more on the Faircloth line if anyone connects to either line..

I'm researching the Thomas Thornton family of Duplin/Sampson County, NC. But I've come across a snag that perhaps someone here can help with. We've originally been under the assumption that there is a Thomas Thornton, Sr. and a Jr. But now I'm finding that my dates are wrong and that there is actually a Thomas III in this time frame too. Here is what I know. 1. There is an estate sale for Thomas Thornton, Sr. dated 16 July 1777 in Duplin Co., NC naming his oldest son, Thomas as administrator. 2. Thomas Thornton, Jr. purchased land on 15 March 1755. This deed was witnessed by Thomas Thornton and Nathaniel Thornton. Deed was proven by the oath of Thomas Thornton Sr. 9 Oct.1755. This shows my birthdate of Thomas Jr. of 1744 is incorrect as he couldn't have bought land at the age of 11. He also sold land on 11 August 1756. 3. Revolutionary War Records for Thomas Thornton show him born 1755 and died 1806 and the son of Thomas and Martha. This has to be Thomas Thornton, III. I'm told this Thomas married Rebecca Lee and this is confirmed when they are listed on the will of Peter Lee, Sr., dated 28 Jan 1804, probated 12 Nov 1804. Here is my problem. When a Sr. Thomas died, the son then started going by Sr. I've always showed Thomas Thornton, Jr. as the one who died in 1806 and was the son of Thomas and Martha. They all lived on the side of Duplin Co. that became Sampson Co., after 1784. I descend from John Thornton, Sr. born 31 Aug 1749 who's Bible Record and Rev. War Records confirm his date of birth and that he was the son of Thomas and Martha. If Thomas Sr. died 1777 and Thomas III died 1806, then when did Thomas II die? I show a Thomas Sr. & Jr. on a 1783 census/tax? record so I know it was after then. Thornton, John NC Duplin Co., 1783 Thornton, Nathaniel, Sr. NC Duplin Co., 1783 Thornton, Thomas, Jr. NC Duplin Co., 1783 (Thomas Thornton, III) Thornton, Thomas, Sr. NC Duplin Co., 1783 (Thomas Thornton, II) I'm not totally sure which Thomas died in 1806. Was it the II or III Thomas? Is there anyone researching the Lee family that might have more info on Thomas Thornton who married Rebecca Lee? Any insights are greatly appreciated.

Responding to NCSAMPSO-D Digest V02 #20 posting from Sandra Bradshaw Kennedy - I was reading the Sampson Co. postings and noticed that one of the names you are researching is Hargrove. That is a name I also am researching and would like to find out more information. My wife is Jo Ann Herring and she is the great-granddaughter of Bettie Jane Hargrove who was married to Owen Fennell Herring. The information I have on Bettie Jane Hargrove is that she was born 20 Jan 1851, was married about 1867, and died 21 Feb 1919 in Clinton, NC. I believe her father was Owen Hargrove (b-1808) and mother was Nancy Brodahar. If this is true, she would have sisters Ann M. (b-1844) and Josephine (b-1853),and a brother Benjamin F. (b-1848). For a time, I thought that Bettie Jane Hargrove might be the Elizabeth Jane Hargrove (b-1838) who was the daughter of Barr Hargrove who was married to Louise Boykin. I no longer believe this to be the case although the two families certainly seem to be connected. Owen Fennell Herring's mother was Mary Jane Fennell. Louise Boykins mother was Elizabeth Fennell. Mary Jane Fennell and Elizabeth Fennell were sisters. Barr Hargrove (not Bettie Jane's father) and his wife Louise Boykin had 5 children; Benjamin Robinson Hargrove (b-abt 1841), Anna Eliza Hargrove (b-3 Nov 1845), Haywood Hargrove (b-abt 1847), Nicholas Fennell Hargrove (b-abt 1849), and Elizabeth Jane Hargrove (b-abt 1838). Does any of this make a connection with you? I would appreciate any info you may have that might help me figure out more about Bettie Jane's ancestors or explain how Owen Hargrove and Barr Hargrove might be related. I hope this info may be of some help to you. Barry Collier E-mail: bcollier@neo.rr.com

Is there anyone out there who can look up the marriage of Jesse E. Waters and Lettie Williams in Sampson County in the year 1884? I wrote the county, but they said they did not have the records for that year, so I wrote the archives in Raleigh and they said they have a microfilm copy of the marriage register but do not have the original volumes. They said I should contact the Register of Deeds, which I did, as the original records usually remain with the county. Any help appreciated and thank you. Billie

Doen anyone have access to Sampson co. marrage records that can look for a Mary Jones who md a Pridgen . abt. 1833--1839 may even be in Duplin co. Thank you for your help. Ann C.
