You also might want to look in Yadkin County, at least for the Shore family. Yadkin Co. broke off from Surry County in 1850. Besides the Courthouse in Yadkinville, you might want to check out the public library in Yadkinville. They have a nice little genealogy room. I know there are a couple of published books in there on the Shore family. I am a descendent of Friedrich Schor (later it became Shore) who seems to be the immigrant ancestor of virtually all of the Shores in the area.

Royce: Yes there are Lowes in Low Gap. My relatives are there. I'm not sure if the origin of the name has anything to do with the family (probably not). There are many, many Lowes in both Surry Co., NC and Grayson Co., VA. I have many Goodson, Carson and other relatives that married Lowes. It seems to be impossible to figure out how all the Lowes are connected. So far I have not found an Abraham Lowe. Wish I could be of more help. Jeanene

Hi Royce, There are Lowes in Wilkes Co., NC (Lowe's Food, Lowe's Home Improvement Stores). I am not certain about the origin of Low Gap, but I imagine it refers the the topography than a surname. A lot of things in the hills were named for what they looked like.

David, The court house is on the main st of Dobson - can't be missed. It occupies a center square. If you are interested in the Surry heritage books, they can be purchased there. Surry court house is a joy. Documents are well kept and suprememly organized. Bud Cameron, the "head" - can't remember his title - is a genealogist. Have fun.

Looking for any and all info on John Thomas Longino who came to Surrey co. as a lad abt. 1750. He married a girl named Elizabeth. We think her last name was Thomas and that she was the daughter of a Rev. John Thomas who was a misionary to Europe and settled in Surrey. Does anyone know about the church history of the county? Protestant history. Which churches were there at the time etc. I have extensive info on JT's descendants but we are trying to track him back to Italy.

I am looking for information on Hannah Marshall b. ca 1765 who married John Dean of Surry County ca 1785. Hannah was supposedly the cousin of John and Humphrey Marshall. Can anyone help? Thanks. Freda Strampe

John Dean with wife Keziah moved from Halifax Co., VA to Surry Co. 1770-1774 where John died in 1775. Had children John, Job, Thomas, Amasa and Keziah. The family was very close to the Riggs family and to the Scotts in Surry Co. John, Jr. supposedly married Hannah Marshall and need proof of marriage. A daughter of John and Hannah married a Riggs. Keziah, Jr. just "disappeared" and would like any information about her. Thanks for any help. Freda
