I am passing this along as requested by the person below. Pat To: [email protected] Hi List, I ran across the below surnames on the 1850 census and thought I would pass it along. Please note, there are a couple of surnames that are hard to read, I've done my best to decipher. If there is a Wake rootsweb list, I'm not on it so anyone that wants to pass this along, please do so.
