I know my family came from Surry Co., NC , GG grpa born there @1798 Does anyone know what Quaker Meeting houses covered that area at that time.

Two meetings in Surry Co. in that time frame were Deep Creek, in the southern part of Surry, now Yadkin Co., and Westfield, in northern Surry near the Virginia border (probably the more likely one for you if they lived on Beaver Dam Creek). Don't limit yourself to these meetings, however, since Quakers moved around a lot. Fortunately, many of these moves were recorded - look for the abbreviations "gct" [granted certificate to] and "rec" or "recrq" [received, received by request]. For example, in a family I'm researching there was a lot of movement back and forth especially between Deep Creek and Cane Creek (present-day Alamance Co.). -- Elizabeth Harris ncgen@mindspring.com Personal genealogy webpage: http://www.duke.edu/web/chlamy Winston-Salem NC area genealogy: http://www.fmoran.com/ HOLDER DNA project: http://www.mindspring.com/~holderdna/
