I am trying to find folks who are linked to the Swanson family in Pilot Mountain, North Carolina in Surry County. In particular, I'd like to contact anyone with knowledge of William J. Swanson (b. November 1866 in VA) and his wife, Lena Hines Swanson (August 16, 1873 in VA-October 03, 1957.) Their children are Harry K.

Surry County Connections From Stuart’s Birthplace: The History of The Laurel Hill Farm by Thomas D. Perry American Revolution During the American Revolution Perry sheds light on William Letcher, the maternal great-grandfather of J. E. B. Stuart, who was killed by pro-British Tories during the American Revolution, specifically led by a Surry County man named William Hall. Letcher was killed by William Nichols of North Carolina in August 1780 at the Laurel Hill Farm. How Mount Airy Got It’s Name Mount Airy, North Carolina, received its name from the Perkins Farm in the Bannertown area near the Ararat River. The Perkins Family named their home Mount Airy, possibly from the Pittsylvania County, Virginia, area near their original home. J. E. B. Stuart’s great-grandmother Elizabeth Perkins was a member of this same family and also connected through other families such as the Marrs. The Perkins Family also constructed the original Blue Ridge Hotel/Inn, which sat the corner of Main and Oak streets in Mount Airy. Jonathan Hanby Carter Perry’s new book points out the friendship between J. E. B. Stuart and Jonathan Hanby Carter of Surry County, North Carolina. Carter visited Stuart while the former was at West Point. Carter sailed the world in the United States Navy before the Civil War and was one of the first graduates of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. Carter joined the Confederate Navy and built ironclads on the Red River in Louisiana during the war. Chapter on Connections With Surry County Chapter Nine of the new book is all about the Stuart Family connections with Surry County beginning with J. E. B. Stuart just graduated from West Point in 1854 camping on Pilot Mountain, where he is awoke by a thunderstorm that inspires him to write a poem about it. The chapter covers the Stuarts traveling from the Laurel Hill Farm in Ararat, Virginia, to Mount Airy with all the history along the way. The chapter contains information on the Stuart’s shopping, attending church and getting their mail in Mount Airy along with the two men Richard Galloway and Dr. Joseph Hollingsworth, who purchased the Laurel Hill Farm from Mrs. Stuart in 1859. Information about local educator and historian Ruth Minick is included as well. Tom Perry Will Be Speaking Twice Locally on J. E. B. Stuart and New Book Meeting of the Surry County Civil War Round Table, which meets the first Tuesday of each month at the Mount Airy Public Library on Rockford Street in Mount Airy at 6:30 p.m. Meetings are free and open to the public. February 6, Tom Perry will give his slide show on J. E. B. Stuart March 6, Tom Perry on his new book Stuart's Birthplace, The History of the Laurel Hill Farm The book may be ordered at http://www.freestateofpatrick.com/book.htm .

hi, Eddie I am researching some COX folk who were in and around Elkin/Surry & Trap Hill/Wilkes. I don't know if they are connected to yours as I haven't gotten as far 'back' as you have. so far I'm looking at [haven't proved for myself]: John Wesley COX b1850 NC -- md Jane UPCHURCH b1845 NC. - their son, Geroge Washington COX 1874-1952 md Cora Alice BILLINGS 1872-1948 [d/o Robt H BILLINGS b1834 & Mary A COLLINS/ COLLINGS b1832]. - their dau Jettie Grace COX 1900-1983 was [our] grandmother I am also interested in the UPCHURCH, BILLINGS and COLLINS lines...

NC? I'm trying to track down the family of a Matthew Cox, born 1735 in VA. (Essex Co. I think) and died in Wilkes Co. in 1804. His will lists children: Carter, Mastin, Aras (Ariss), Matthew, Ambrose, Braxton, and Delphine. I have a confirmed DNA cousin who descends from Braxton Cox. I'm trying to determine which son I come from. My best guess due to "LACK" of information is Mastin. He seems to be the one who no one has any info on, and that fits with the rest of my line. <grin> Most of the others families are documented down past where my line should connect. My earliest ancestor, John Cox was born in NC, I'm guessing Wilkes Co., between 1780-90 according to census. He then shows up in Greenville Co. SC in 1810, and remains there til his death in 1853. Unless I descend from an unknown brother of Matthew, it would seem I've narrowed it down, but I need some proof. Thanks in advance. Eddie Cox

For a number of years I have been searching for the Parents of a "Leroy H. Hodges". Family talk has been that his Parents might have been from North Carolina and moved to Laurens Co., South Carolina. Leroy was on the Census in Laurens Co., S.C. for 1830, Abbeville, SC for 1840 and in Jefferson Co., Alabama for the 1850. Also, Leroy and wife could have been part or full Cherokee Indian. Does any one have anything for any HODGES that might have a Male infant in or around 1806 that might fit in for Leroy. There is so much we have been able to find on Leroy after the 1830's when he showed up on the Census, and we have found all of his children. But, we can not find his parents names at all. Thanks so much for you help. Leroy is my 3rd Great Grandfather. Descendants of Leroy H. Hodges 1 Leroy H. Hodges 1806 - 1880 .. +Permelia ?? 1802 - 1860 *2nd Wife of Leroy H.
