I did at one time email another descendant of Collins Hampton but he did not share any information on the family. Therefore I am re-creating the wheel.

Mr. Carter: Have you in your pursuit of cemeteries found a gravesite for Collins Hampton who died 1804. He may have been living in the Mt.Airy region. Thank you for your work on cemeteries. I appreciate the hard work entailed. Watch out for those hot days. I hope by the end of this year to publish a book on a cemetery for which I have photographed every headstone, have a map and for many of the unmarked graves have been going through the death certificates and newspapers to find the lost and unknown. The records for this cemetery were destroyed in a fire and people from all over the states and Europe are buried in it.

Not long ago, someone posted information about the father (and family) of Mary Polly Hendrix who married Isaac Armfield in Guilford county on 9 January 1834. I apparently deleted the posting before I could ask for further information. I believe they stated that they had a copy of the Will of Mary's father, James Hendrix of McNairy county, Tennessee. Please contact me. Thank-you, Lilly

I've got several grave markers of Civil War veterans at the link below, but the grave did not have any indication of the unit they were assigned. Can be Union soldiers too. Sp, if you have a few minutes check to see if one of your ancestors is listed and if you know the unit they served in, let me know and I'll edit the file. http://www.genealogy.mountainscape.com/surrycousins/Civil_War_Vet_Pics_List.htm Also, if you have photos of grave markers not shown send me a photo of them with their unit, cemetery where buried, and the City/County/State where it is located.

Susan, I remember the Westfield Friends Meeting Place, but I don't remember restrictions on who was buried in their cemetry. I had relatives buried there that were not Quakers.

The Forsyth County Genealogical Society will hold its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, March 12 at 7 pm. in the Forsyth County Library Auditorium. The program will feature speakers R. G.

In addition, he's a Volunteer Docent - Wilkes Heritage Museum, a Ghost Tour Guide - Wilkes Heritage Museum and President of the Yadkin Valley Chapter, NC Sons of the American Revolution and Vice president of the Wilkes-Surry Chapter OVTA and a Member of James B. Gordon Chapter of Sons of Confederate Veterans. R. G. Absher from Elkin, NC, is a Past President of the Overmountain Victory Trail Association (OVTA). He's also a Volunteer Docent - Wilkes Heritage Museum, Ghost Tour Guide -Wilkes-Heritage Museum and current President of the Wilkes Heritage Museum. Both Absher and Gilreath enjoy telling about their ancestors who fought at the Battle of Kings Mountain. Both have done a many programs for school students on the subjects of the Southern Campaign of the American Revolutionary War and the Battle of Kings Mountain. The Library is located at 660 W. 5th Street in Winston-Salem. The meeting is free and open to the public.

For those interested in some of the early history of North Carolina, I highly recommend the several volumes of Colonial Records of North Carolina. Look for the volume which is labeled INDEX and look for your surnames. These volumes probably are available at large libraries, and perhaps at University libraries. Sometimes, however, I am amazed at the holdings of community colleges. Check out the local history shelves. There are long lists of people whose property was confiscated, and other miscellaneous information. If your folks were in NC in the colonial days, you may trip over his [generally no females] name. E.W.Wallace I found several letters back and forth between Richard Henderson of Granville Co. NC and his agent [and cousin] *Col* John Williams, later the Judge. That is where I learned of the death of Col. John's brother, my ancestor, William Williams, who died Dec 1775 at Boonesborough. I learned of the death of William's eldest son, John, a short time later. (I am descended from the younger son, Samuel Farrar Williams, who migrated to Henderson Co., KY ca 1806, according to his rejected Rev. War pension record.) I also learned from Henderson's letter than John Williams (later the judge) had had small pox!!! **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms, and advice on AOL Money & Finance.
