Does anyone have access to the 1860 or 1870 census of Wake County? I am looking for Edwin Allen born in 1856. I have no idea who his parents were. I could find them on the census perhaps. I would appreciate any info that anyone could share. Thanks. Beth Browne

Does anyone know anything about William Dawson who made a will in Johnston Co., NC, filed in Wake? Betty Stokes

Does anyone know anything about Floyds who were in Wake before 1800? Betty

My ggg grandfather Isaac Carpenter lived on land near JBS, I have always wondered if they did business or were related. Isaac's land lay on Little Lick Creek and Lick Creek near the river. Do you have any info on the Carpenters? Isaac sold out in 1805 and moved to Anson. Louis Carpenter

Trying to find the parents (and their origin) of John Baptist Shaw (1745-1816) m. Frances McKelroy.

Chet Rhodes would you email me privately about your Rhodes family in Wake County - Jeri ([email protected]) Thanks.

Does anyone have any information on William Willis Rhodes and Nancy Stanley? They were married 22 Apr 1809 in Wake County, North Carolina. In the 1860 Census she is living 4 houses down from my gggrandfather, Jonathan Rhodes. The next house over is the home of James W. Rhodes who I suspect may be Jonathan's older brother. Chet Rhodes

Emma, my ancestors James Lane and Lydia Speight, presumably from Wake County, had a daughter Penny. However, the information I have indicates that at the time of her father's estate administration her surname was Atkins (her father died January 6, 1805). I do not have a date of birth on her, but her brother Nathaniel was born in 1770. If I am not mistaken, I have seen at least one other individual in the records named Penelope (Penny) Lane, somewhere. Rosemary Rummler

Hi Folks, I have reference to some deeds (dated between 1780-1795) in the area where Middle Creek & Terrible Creek come together in present day Wake Co., NC (a few miles south of Raleigh) for my ancestor Benjamin NOLES (c 1767-1845). Benjamin's land is adjacent to several properties owned by ROWLAND families (Nathan & William). There are also properties in the vicinity owned by Ethelred Jones & Mark Myatt. Does anyone have information on any of these families that may be helpful to me. I suspect that Benjamin's wife (Anna) may have come from one of these adjacent families. Thanks for any assistance.

Hi list, I am trying to find any information on my ggg grand mother Penelope Lane. She married John Brice in Bulloch County, GA Dec. 25, 1797. Can find no other record of John Brice. However Penelope Lane Brice was married to my ggg grand father by 1803 or early 1804. They had a son born in 1804. Have found a totally blank brick wall here. Need parents and place of birth of Penelope Lane. Surely hope someone can help. Thanks, Emma in AR

I am looking for information, particularly a will or will abstract, for the James Woods who died in Wake County NC sometime after 1870 when he and his wife Mary (both age 78) were enumerated on page 159 of the 1870 Wake County Census? Or does anyone know if James was still alive in 1880, as I'm unable to locate an index for 1880? James Woods (b Orange County NC 1792) is the son of Joseph Woods (1750-1852) and Anna (McKee?) Woods (1771-1846); and the grandson of Hugh Woods (ABT 1732-1800) and Mary (Dunagan?) (d Orange County 1822). James married a Mary "Polly" Brown (b NC 1792) in Orange County NC on 15 May 1818. James' older brother, Hugh Woods, served as his bondsman. James and his family moved from Orange County NC to Wake County NC sometime between 1850-1860 and his family is also enumerated on page 179 of the 1860 Wake County NC Census. The children of James Woods and Mary Polly Brown are as follows: 1. A son born between 1820-1825 (out of household by 1850 Orange County NC enumeration) 2. A daughter born between 1820-1825 (out of household by 1850 Orange County NC enumeration) 3. James (b 1832). Enlisted in the Confederate Army in Wake County NC on 1 May 1861 (E Company, 14th Infantry Regiment, NC). Killed at the Battle of the Wilderness on 6 May 1864. 4. Lambert (b 1834). Enlisted in the Confederate Army in Wake County NC on 1 May 1861 (E Company, 14th Infantry Regiment, NC). Killed at the Battle of Seven Pines on 31 May 1862. 5. Narcissa (b 1830) married an S. J. Allen on 15 Apr 1857 in Wake County, North Carolina. I'm trying to narrow down the date of James' (and his wife's) death prior to ordering a search for probate records in Wake County. Thanks for any comments. /Brett/ Brett F. Woods Santa Fe, New Mexico

Can any one on the List tell me at what age a young man was required to register on the Wake Co. NC Tax Rolls? I am particularly interested in the time period 1830-1850. In the event this information is not known, can someone suggest a source for me to check? Appreciate your help. Ruth J. Hary

Dear Friends, I am coming to N.C. next week to do some research on my Driver family line. I am a descendant of Charles Driver. His will mentioned John, Thomas, Dempsey, Elizabeth, Polly, Joseph, Luveny, Benjamin, Giles, and Burrell as descendants in 1806. If you have any connection to this family or if you know of a place that has books etc. that pertain to the Driver family please let me know. [email protected]

Hi all, I just discovered that my great-great-great grandfather Richard Privett was born in Wake County about 1792. He married Mary Ball in Wilkes County July 28, 1827. The three children I know are Lucinda Privett who married Robert E. Hill in Wythe County, VA on May 22, 1839 and (b) about 1824, Frances (b) about 1827 and Mary Ann (b) about 1830. If anyone is researching the Privett's of Wake County and has any information about Richard I would love to hear from you. Linda,Roanoke,VA

We have Kindred and Tempy (Reaves) Strickland that must have come with these from Wake County, N. C. to Green County, Al. about 1827. If you run across a connection to the Stricklands or Reaves/Reeves, please let me know.

I have a copy of the marriage bond for Stephen and Elizabeth and have found a legal document in our courthouse where Elizabeth more or less sued to get or dower/or her part of the estate after Stephen died. He had left everything to his son to take care of his wife but the son died before he did. Things must have been kind of messy. I do not know where he or Elizabeth are buried nor when she died.
