Shirleyann - I've lost your e-mail address but worse than that <g> I've lost the address of where I can order the microfilm for the old newspaper for Washington Co. I'm making out my Christmas list and I want the microfilm on it. Give me a shout will you please? This business of putting the house up for sale means I have to keep my office "clean" which of course means I can't find _anything_ anymore <huge sigh> Linda lhaasdav@mindspring.com Home.page http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~haas Marion.Co.AR http://www.rootsweb.com/~armarion List hostess for -h.a.a.s/l.e.w.a.l.l.e.n/w.a.s.h.i.n.g.t.o.n n.c
I am researching Jordan Phelps who died in Savannah Ga. in 1839 age 43 according to Savannah Burial Register. I believe he may be my GGG Grandfather. If so, his wife was Rebecca ? , daughter Caroline A. Phelps. Rebecca and daughter Caroline were on Savannah census 1850. Thanks for any information. Pat Vause vause@gateway.net
I browsed through this book in Barnes and Noble: The Furniture of Coastal North Carolina 1700 - 1820, by John Bivens, Jr., UNC Press, 1988 I found it interesting that it listed many names of coastal NC furniture and cabinetmakers. A good place to look for names of ancestors who may have been skilled in woodworking. - Trish << From: Dav1207@aol.com Date: Tue, 28 Sep 1999 20:43:47 EDT Subject: [NCWASHIN-L] Will E.

Hi Betty, At this point, any and all help would be greatly appreciated. My John of 1807 is one of two John Swinson's, an uncle and nephew (mine's the nephew) who made their way from Chowan (Tyrell/Washington) to Pitt/martin counties, and on to Duplin in the 1770s. According to information I've found over the years, this John made it as far as New Hanover county before returning to Washington Co. around 1800. He supposedly died their in 1807, leaving a will. One document I've referenced, written in the 1950s indicated the will was in the Courthouse, but didn't identify a book #. I've since scanned the Register of Deed holdings on the Washington Co. Genealogy page, but found they didn'y have wills that old in the Register's Office anymore. Who knows? It's too far from Charleston, SC for me to go look for myself. So, I went out begging for help...laffs. My Swinson family info is posted on the Family TreeMaker homepage at www.familytreemaker.com/s/w/i/Chris-Swinson. Please review it at your leisure.

Greetings to all on the list! I'm the new County Coordinator for the Washington County Web Page. I've taken over the page from Teresa Kelley who has done an exceptional job! I've just added a page for Civil War Pension Applications. Information is provided on how to order pension files from the North Carolina Archives. We also have GenConnect boards where you can post Bible records, Biographies, Deeds, Obituaries, Military Pensions, and Wills relating to Washington County. If you have any of these items, I urge you to post them. They can be an invaluable source for fellow researchers. The URL for the Washington County Web Page is http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncwashin/washing.htm If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please email me at Dav1207@aol.com Steve Davenport Homepage: http://millennium.fortunecity.com/playdays/269/ Washington County, NC: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncwashin/washing.htm
Hi to the List: Chris wrote asking help in locating a will for John Swinson. Chris, I have in my line (actually Collins) a Lucy Ann Jackson, b.1853, that married Dave Swinson. They had a child named John Swinson. Your John Swinson of 1807 is probably related. The mother of Lucy Ann was Elizabeth Collins, b. 1830 who married William Henry Jackson. Many of the Swinsons are kin to me on both sides - mother and father. If this seems to fit with yours, I have more info and would like to hear what you have also. Thanks, Betty
Hi Listmembers, My name is Chris Swinson. I've just actively beguan my search for Swinson information in Washington Co., though I've known the Washington/Tyrrell/Chowan area was the origin of my Swinson ancestors for some time. At this point, I need some assisting obtaining a copy of a Will for John Swinson, who died in Washington Co. in 1807. I'd send off for it, but don't know the specific Will book it's in. Is anyone close to the courthouse, who'd be willing to obtain a copy of this document and mail it to me if I covered the costs incurred? Thanks, Chris
I am looking for more information on James PHELPS: b1825, m 4 Jan 1855 to Hester WOODLEY: b 1836, d 1876. They had a son Henry Clinton PHELPS: b 17 Mar 1857, d Sep 1939, md 5 May 1879 to Narcissa Udelia PATRICK: b 1858. I have been told that James PHELPS served in the Civil War for the Union. Thanks, Marne Phelps
I am looking for more information on William PATRICK married to Frances (DAVENPORT?). They are listed in the 1850 Washington Co, NC, Census with some of their children, Byrd, AnnE, and Minton R. I am through the line of a younger daughter, Narcissa Udelia PATRICK, b 1858. Thanks, Marne Phelps
Joann from the Davenport list sent this URL. It's great. It has a gazillion pieces of information - from Poor Richard's Almanac to the early laws of Virginia to who knows what else.

Hi, does anyone have any Taylors or Freeman or Roberts if so please let me know. Paulette
Last update on the WW1 Draft Card Uproar. I have found a researcher who will copy your cards at a reasonable price. The genealogy e-mail lists prohibit the posting of information on professional researchers so I cannot give you the information here. At the bottom of this message you can see how to get the information. And today we now have a notice in Rootsweb Review explaining that I was in error about my posting and quoting the Regional Manager at the GA NARA. It's certainly nice to have my credibility trashed <huge sigh> I'm not going to fight this battle any longer folks. I sat up a page at my home web site that will tell you about the WW1 Draft Cards and give you the information on the lady who will do the look-ups and copies of your cards. If you have hung in here thru all this mess and want copies of these cards then please take the time to go look at the page. I'm still not sorry for my post. I believe the WW1 Draft Cards are a wonderful resource for all of us searching for our ancestors during the 1917-1918 time period. But I am tired of the bashing I'm getting about now.

Last week I sent out a notice about the WW1 Draft cards being at the GA NARA branch and that the cards are found in state / county / surname order. I also said the cost of copies was 50 cents. I got bombarded with messages saying FALSE, FALSE, UNTRUE. All ranging from you "have to have draft board, name, age, etc etc" to "Totally FALSE cost". "UNTRUE Post" and "You are Misleading People". Jeez what a mess !! Makes me almost wish I had never posted the message. So let me clarify things here. 1st things 1st. I called the Archives yesterday and spoke with the manager of the textural department who is in charge of the WW1 registration / application cards. The first thing I asked was: What's the cost of ordering the cards via mail? He said the cost is $10.00 per card. Doesn't matter if you have 10 people all with the last surname in the same state/county they charge by the card. I asked why was I told the cost was 50 cents? After much discussion and tracking down the person I spoke with it turned out to be a large misunderstanding - the person knew I came to the archives all the time and thought I meant the cost to use the copier at the archives. So OK the cost is not 50 cents it's an outrageous $10.00. I have e-mailed one of the officers of the Friends of the Archives to see if they will be willing to do the searching and copying for less money. As soon as I get an answer I'll let everyone know. Now the 2nd thing. If you go to the NARA on-line site for GA and request the form to order WW1 Draft Cards you will receive a form that says you have to furnish all kinds of information. THIS IS A STANDARD NARA FORM TO ORDER CARDS FROM THE LDS FILM!!!!! If you are ordering a look-up from any NARA branch other than the East Pointe branch you must give this information because the copy will be made from the LDS microfilm which IS in state and then Draft Board order. It is not by state and then county. The NARA staff needs the information on the form to be able to find the card on the LDS film. HOWEVER - all you have to do is write a letter to the East Pointe branch and request a copy of - here we go - pay attention !!! ORIGINAL DRAFT CARD and give them the state, the county and the name and race of the individual you want. The only areas where this will not work is for the largest cities in the US such as New York, Chicago, LA, etc. then you have to have a street or the draft board. These cities have not been sorted into surname order yet. And ALL of the states are located at the GA NARA Branch - they have not been split and sent anywhere else. Now I hope that this helps straighten out the information that is flying fast and furious around the lists. If you forwarded my other messages somewhere will you please forward this one also? And when you forward this message please leave my name and e-mail address included. People need to write to me if they have questions not flood the lists with posts about "untruth" and "false information". It only causes confusion. Thanks a lot and hope I have helped clear up this mess.
