Hi Diane: I noticed you didn't have Richard Murphy (Murphrey) listed. His RW pension files are in the USGenWeb archives for Simpson Co, MS. He was born in "Dupeland" County NC in the early 1760's. He is out of the Murphy/Murphrey family of Duplin/Sampson Co., NC, which I thought might be of interest to this list. This Richard Murphy became the guardian of Willis, Willie and Mary Jane Murphrey in 1810 in Amite Co., MS. These orphans were the children of Richard Murphrey of Sampson Co., MS. In 1808 they originally were put under the guardianship of Willis Magee in Sampson Co. These children traveled to MS with the Magees. My husband descends from Willis & Priscilla Dixon Murphrey. According to some older research done by Murphrey researcher Ima Mewborn, the Michael & William Murphy/Murphrey of Duplin/Sampson was the son of Capt. Jack Murphrey and Elizabeth Harrison. Capt Jack was out of the Isle of Wight VA Murphreys. A males descendant of our Willis Murphrey has entered the Murphy DNA project and has been tested against two known male descendants of Capt. Jack with a match of 35 of 37 markers. The first 12 were identical matches. This does indicate that they do not desend from Michael or William Murphy/Murphrey, but do descend from a common Isle of Wight ancestor. We suspect they are the children of a John Murphrey with wife Ann. Many of the male childrens names also show up in early Duplin land records. Also a child from this family, Sarah Murphrey, was married to Alexander Chestnutt, another early Duplin/Sampson resident. We believe the Richard Murphy (Rev. War soldier) was the son of Michael Murphy/Murphrey, and that the Richard Murphrey who's orphaned children were put under the guardianship of Richard Murphy in Amite Co, MS were cousins. Would love to hear from anyone researching these families Sue Skay Abruscaato currently from Torrance CA, soon to be Paris TX

For those of you that aren't aware there is a North Carolina in the Revolutionary War site here: http://www.ncgenweb.us/ncrevwar/ There is tons of transcribed data on the site up to and including rosters, payrolls, land warrants, pension rolls, etc on virtually every soldier from North Carolina. You just might be able to find some info on the soldier or soldiers you are looking for there. Hope this helps!

Jeane, I don't know if this will help you or not. I'm just becoming aware of the large settlement of Scots who came to Bladen County. A few had come in 1736 to prepare for 350 to come in 1739. Many of these were named McSomething. Maybe you could find what regiment or company these men from Bladen were in. That might help you learn about the battles in which McCrary fought.

Hi, John, Owensville is now Roseboro, if the info below is correct. Betty The book, "Sampson County," By Kent Wrench says "During the course of Sampson's relatively short history we have had the birth and death of towns, including Lisbon, first town. Owensville was also laid to rest." Also mentioned in "Sampson County, NC - Military - Ten Days of Hell." All of Sampson's rivers and creeks are listed by name in these records: Newton Grove, McLamb, Draughon, and Beaman's cross-roads are also included as well as some which now bear other names. For instance, Spivey's Corner was then Jackson's Cross-roads...Clinton and Owensville (Roseboro) are also listed, as well as four churches. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike & Diane" <[email protected]> To: "Sampson County" <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 3:13 PM Subject: [SAMPSON] Fw: Sampson County > Can anyone help John?

My ancestor Lewis R. Gavin was the brother Of Edward Charles Gavin. I show Edward Charles Gavin as buried at "Cedar Hill, Turkey, NC." I don't know exactly where Cedar Hill is or who living Relatives may be, but the following may help: One of the notes in my file came from the Smithfield website below which Describes land patented by EC Gavin's great grandfather Charles Gavin. http://www.downtownsmithfield.com/earlyhistory.html Smithfield's Colonial Beginnings: 1759-1779: In 1743 a South Carolina native named Charles Gavin obtained a patent for 600 acres lying on both sides of the Neuse River. The meandering Neuse Flowed from north to south as it cut through this particular acreage. On the Eastern side of the stream the Gavin grant apparently began at a red oak "near a branch and near the river." Researcher James P. Smith concluded that This oak tree stood in the southwest corner of what is now Smithfield's Riverside Cemetery. ALSO: http://www.martygrant.com/gen/roberts/roberts-john-e-craven.htm On 22 Nov 1738 John Roberts received a land patent for 150 acres on the South side of the Neuse River in Craven Co, NC on Charles Gavan's corner. (Craven Co, NC Deed Book 1 page 175). Charles Gavin, whose land bordered John E. Roberts in 1738, sold land in Duplin Co, NC in 1753 and that deed Was witnessed by Joseph Roberts. ALSO: http://files.usgwarchives.net/nc/wayne/heritage/turkey2.txt HISTORY OF TURKEY POST OFFICE On August 10, 1889, the Turkey Post Office was opened for the first time With Mr. Ed MANN as the first postmaster. The post office was located in his Store Which stood on the north side of the railroad in front of his home which is Now the home of Mr. And Mrs. Wilbert BUTLER. The house and store later Belonged to Mr. And Mrs. Sam SUTTON, and the store was burned in March 1917. Mr. MANN was also stationmaster at Turkey and the depot stood next door to His store. The railroad was completed in 1887, was built on the bed of the Old plank road and was a spur of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad. Mr. MANN was from Wilmington and his wife was prior to her marriage Miss Eugenia PIGFORD. Through her grandfather, Edward Charles GAVIN, she inherited the Plantation south of Turkey known as "Cedar Hill." (NOTE: Eugenia Pigford married Edward Mann about 1873 in New Hanover Co, NC. They had children: Thomas M., Charles L., Eugene, Katie, Anniebell, and Ethel. In the 1880 census, Eugenia Mann was living with her mother Matilda Gavin Pigford And her Brother James B. Pigford. In the 1930 census, widow Eugenia Mann was living In Wilmington, NC.)
