Does anyone have any information on Robert P Fraiser (Frazier, Fraizier etc)? I'm not absolutely sure he came from Stokes County but he was definitely born in North Carolina. In 1850 he was in Mississippi, with his wife and mother. His mother was Mary Fraiser/Frazier, and there's a Mary Frazier in the 1830 census for Stokes County who would fit. Failing any specific information, does anyone have any suggestions about where would be a good place to start looking? Phil Jones [email protected]

Most burials in rural counties were done by family, friends, and neighbors. I once asked about records at a Danbury funeral home and was told they they didn't start keeping records until the "1940's". This funeral home was started by the brother of my great-great-grandfather who died in 1921 at the age of 87. After his death it was run by his son who died in 1996 at the age of 91. It is still run by his family. bnc

That is a four volume set of "Cemeteries of Rockingham-Stokes Counties" and a fifth volume is currently being printed and will be out soon... bnc

I haven't heard of any funeral homes from that period. Have you checked the two-volume edition of cemetery records? "Cemeteries of Rockingham and Stokes Counties." I don't have the exact citation but many local libraries have it. Unfortunately for us researchers, a lot of the family cemeteries have been lost to development. Many people in the country were buried in simple pine boxes in family cemeteries with graves marked only by a field stone. Often they were laid out in the parlor for viewing. One of my Stokes ancestors was buried in 1880 in the Meadows area of Stokes County. His estate records in Raleigh listed debts for burial clothes and coffin but no undertaker's fees: 9-6-1881 "Bettie Warren swears list of debts owed her by John Warren and his estate, including his burial clothes (Pepper & Sons 5.87 1/2), coffin (Robt Glidwell 5.00), loan to adm. (2.50), to men that laid off widdow's dower (2.00), stripping tobacco (5.00), saving wheat (2.00)" An earlier death resulted in this payment: 10-1-1876 John Warren pays Wm. L. Taylor 10.00 'in full of a walnut coffin for Wm Warren deceast' Again, no undertaker appeared in the records. Hope this helps. --- Mike Warren <http://www.netunlimited.net/~mwarren> Sine Nomine Farm, Tobaccoville, NC

Hi So many of you have asked me if that is me on pp 50, 51 and 52 of Ralph Emery's new book, " The View From Nashville." I did not realize that there were so many country music fans out there in my genealogy world...... most of you know as a passionate hobby of mine that has become an obsession. Several of you have asked me to "let the list know if that is you." So, to those of you who belong to several of the lists that I also belong to, I apologize for the multiples and the non-genealogical subject matter of this message. Those of you who are not interested, please press delete now. The answer is, "yes," that is me. The full and accurate story is not told there, but at least Alan Jackson does not have amnesia like many artists develop after they become famous. It was me that Alan's wife, a stewardess then, gave the tape to while I was traveling with Johnny Paycheck on an airplane between Atlanta and Nashville. Between 1982 and 1986(the year I retired for 10 years and moved to Europe), I discovered and was the first producer of not only Alan Jackson, but Sawyer Brown, Collin Raye and the group Bandana. A heart attack in 1986 caused me to slow down and rethink my lifestyle. In those10 years three guys who used to work for me as independent contractors became presidents of major labels in Nashville and two others who used to work with me, one as a musician and another as a recording engineer, also became president's of Nashville major labels. All still have such positions today. I have recently been offered a similar position, but am trying to decide if I want to spend my music business time looking at sales charts in my office, or helping create music charts in the studio. Perhaps a combination of both would work. I am back at it now... trying to find another superstar or two, this time without all the carousing...and my heart is fine. Instead of working around the clock, unwilling to let go of the excitement being created, I now try to spread the same amount of work over a two day period. Instead of lifting a cool one, two or three during my off time, I now immediately head for the computer to check my messages from all of you. Instead of chasing skirts, I am now chasing roots. Haven't been able to get rid of my trademark pipe, however. Still smoking that pipe from early morning till late at night and taking all kinds of vitamins and minerals to try to minimize the damage caused by this terrible habit. Seems to be working, however, as the very latest tests with the very latest methods and equipment Vanderbilt has to offer shows no new problems and even a reduction in old problem areas. Hope this satisfies your curiosity about the book and what I do. For those of you who do not appreciate this message being on your genealogy list, you are right, and you should have hit the delete button by now. Any flames to me personally, please. Now all of you, one, two, three, delete. Still here? Thank all of you so much!!!!!, not just for reading this message or being curious about the new Ralph Emery book, but for assisting me in my genealogical pursuits. So many of you have been so generous with your time and sources to help me in my pursuit of my roots and attempts to learn as much as possible about the life and times of each generation. I really appreciate it. Happy Hunting! Stan

Can anyone tell me which churches would have served the Belews Creek area in the early 1800s. And, whether there are any records available for those churches ? *Belews Creek is in the NE corner of present day Forsyth County. * Thank you, Vickie Davis [email protected]

Does anyone have any information on when the Danbury newspaper was started? Also, I am wondering if there were funeral homes back in the late 1800's in Stokes County which kept records and where those records might be. I am particularly looking for any information pertaining to the burial sites of my great great and great great great grandfathers, John Leonard Redman and Franklin Redman.

Hi Seeking any information on the DUNLAP/DUNLOP family of Stokes co NC in late 1700's and early 1800's/ Thank you so much! Stan

Attention: B. Stanford I attended a meeting of the GSRS today. The yearly membership fee is $15.00 and we meet quarterly, alternating between the library in Danbury, were we met today, and the Mayodan library, where we will meet in April. Usually, we meet the first Sunday of each quarter, but due to the bad weather last weekend, our meeting was rescheduled for today. The April meeting has been set for the second Sunday because Easter will be on the first Sunday. The society has members from all over the country and always welcomes more. bnc

B. Stanford Writes: I have as the current address of Rockingham-Stokes Counties Genealogical Society: PO Box 152 Mayodan NC 27027 Does anyone know: 1) the yearly membership fee; 2) if the society maintains a web site or has an e-mail address.
