hello, Chrisman researchers. There were Chrisman's in Highland/ Clinton Co Ohio in early & on. 1800's. Also In Randolph Co Ind. and ended up in Grundy Co Mo. where they still are. I have them connected to my Rooks/ Ishamel/ and others. Many surnames in Stokes & Surry Co N C left for Oh/ Ind/ Ill/ Mo / Iowa. Maxine FHC consultant.

Thank you all for your help and suggestions regarding my query. I just spoke with someone at Friedland Church. She looked up the information they have, and they don't have anything on Daniel Robbins. They have Phebe Robbins, husband Daniel, but that is all. She suggested that either Daniel's headstone was one that was not legible when they surveyed the graveyard (since he died before 1850), or Daniel may be buried in another Moravian graveyard. She suggested that I check the Old Salem archives. So the search goes on, Jeannette

Hello, Does anyone on the list have access to "The Graveyard Register of Friedland Moravian Church, Forsyth County, NC"? I'm looking for some dates for the birth and death of Daniel Robbins. He died before 1850 (according to the 1850 census). My information says that he is buried there with his wife Phebe (Teague) Robbins. They were married in 1815. Or would anyone have any further information on this Daniel Robbins? Thank you, Jeannette Schleigh [email protected] http://www.jettestream.com

James O. LINVILLE married Eliza Jane BODENHAMER 17 Dec. 1858, Forsyth Co. NC. In 1860 they are age 22 and 21, respectively, with a daughter Lucy E., age 1/2. James Linville died in November 1863 of typhoid fever (obit. in the _People's Press_) In 1870, Lucy E. LINVILLE and 10 and Phebe J. LINVILLE age 8 are living with John H. STOLZ and his wife Alice (maiden name CRAFT). In 1884, Alice Craft Stolz wrote her will (probated 1887, Forsyth Co.), naming her foster daughters Phebe Jane LINVILLE and Lucy Ellen DOUB. Who did Lucy marry? I can't account for her in a pretty extensive DOUB family history. And when did Eliza Bodenhamer Linville die? Can anyone else fill in some details on this family for me?

Ron, that reminds me that I had a lot of new material online for some early Stokes families, particularly those that may have come into Stokes Co. from Warren, Granville and Bute Co. My page is primarily Pegrams but I have 9000 + connected names. I would LOVE any additions. http://www.patch.net Nola [email protected] http://www.patch.net

I've updated the pages at http://www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/Quarter/5221 that include information on my Sills/Sell line of Stokes Co ancestors, and later, of Georgia, Alabama, and North Florida. Please take a look and let me know of any problems, or hopefully, connections. Thanks, Ron Hall

I have purchased a copy of the 1850 Stokes Co, NC census. If anyone should need a lookup, I'll be glad to do so. LAP _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

Looking for information on Martha Jane Merritt, b.11 Apr 1834, d. 24 Jul 1876, m. 8 Mar, 1856 to Leander Harding (Captain Lee) Nelson. Could anyone help me find out who her parents were? bnc

Thanks to all of you who inquired. Cindy

These books were part of a my personal library, I am asking $100 plus $10 postage. The books are like new. I will answer queries as to whether a certain family is listed, but I can not copy the entire sketch for you. Cindy

I have Volume I and II of the Stokes County heritage books, that I would like to sell. If interested please email me privately. Cindy

Rosalene, I have a copy of Marriages of Stokes County NC 1839-1887, only one Peter Smith was listed Peter Smith age 50 and Mary Tucker age 30, License # 229 23 Apr 1887, Stokes County. I also checked NC Marriages Early to 1800 but did not find your Peter Smith. I also have bonds for Surry, Wilkes, which are surrounding counties and did not find this bond. Ratcliffs NC Taxpayers shows Fidlers, Leinback, and a Christopher Smith all in Surry Co about 1760-1770.

Hello all, If someone has the Family Tree Maker CD #255, will you please look up James N. Parham in Land records for AL, AR, FL, LA, MI, MN, OH and WI. I just want to know the time of purchase and the county. I have looked for this man for 20 years and cannot find him any where before 1860. He was born in AL between 1817 & 1826. I know where he was in 1860 and afterward. I will be very grateful. Thanks, Hazel

If someone has a marriage book, would appreciate a look up for Peter SMITH and Susannah LEINBACH, dtr of Abraham LEINBACH & Anna FIDLER. Susannah's father was dead, and she had a stepfather at the time. She might of used his name, so would appreciate a double check. Her stepfather Was Christoph SCHMIDT. Susanna LEINBACH/LINEBACK b: 10 May 1778 NC d: 17 Jun 1855 Clinton Co., IN Buried: Smith Cem., Forest Twp, Clinton Co., IN +Peter SMITH, Sr. b: 1776 NC Married: Abt 1794 NC d: 8 Dec 1851 Clinton Co., IN Would appreciate knowing if church records for checking birth records are available. Most of their children were born in NC before 1815. Happy Trails [email protected]

Karla, If you haven't found out-the Ironworks is a place they manufactured iron. They are numerous in the NC Piedmont. I presume because the raw materials are available. And I also presume that the manufacture leaves a field like strip mining does and not suitable for farming without work on it. [email protected]

I am looking for Slys in North Carolina. My 4th great-grandfather John Sly was born in 1764 in Duchess Co, NY. We have taken the tree back to various parts of the Eastern Seaboard and wonder if there are any people who are researching Sly in that part of the USA. Hope to hear you soon.

Hi Everyone, I received this site information from another researcher today. Some of you probably already know about it but for those of you who don't, I thought it was worth sharing and that it may be helpful to someone. Good Luck! Bonnie <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnstewar/genkin.htm">Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness</A> http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnstewar/genkin.htm Forwarded Note: There is a new website that I think everyone will find facinating. Its called "Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness." These are volunteers who will video cemeteries or homeplaces, or do lookups in the counties where they live. I think that this could be one of the best ideas to come along in free genealogy research yet! http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnstewar/genkin.htm Please pass it along to fellow researchers.
