Are you talking about Dora Wallace Church? She married Henry Church. She was my great aunt. Barbara Kelly ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Hi, Tom These are not for-sure relatives of my Church people. Have you been in touch with Warren H. Houck: whouck@skybest.com His Email address is several years old, so may not still be a working one. He also has Harrison Greer and others. Look for him on RootsWeb. I think that's where I found him. Additionally, Barbara Shirley Rogerson & Jacquelyn J. Sorby also have done extensive top quality research and they have information on RootsWeb. I have a whole collection of Martha Church gals, and am stuck as to finding the right one at the right time, at the right place, or even matching anything my mother told me years ago. I have pretty much put my North Carolina research to rest for a while, and I'm working on the North Dakota side of the family for now. Happy hunting. It's been fun chatting! R.A. in CA

Dora Church,who lived in Watauga County,NC was my aunt.I don't mean to but in on your conversation.

You speak of a Dora Church, born 23 Nov 1889 (where?) and daughter of Martha (What was father's name?). My great-grandmother was Martha Marina Church, born May 1846 at Wilkes Co., and died 5 Nov 1935 at Fleetwood, Ashe Co.. Her father and mother were Nathaniel Church and Lucinda (Lynn?) (Laws?). Martha Marina Church married my great-grandfather William Harrison Greer around 1869/70. They had the following children (no Dora's): Jane Greer (1869/70 - ?), William F. "Will" Greer (27 Nov 1870 - 12 May 1937), Rufus Greer (4 Oct 1872 - 6 Dec 1944), Julia Ann Greer (16 Apr 1874 - ?), George Thomas Greer (26 Nov 1875 - 2 Feb 1952), Zana Emeline Greer (26 Aug 1878 - 19 May 1961), Venie Greer (c. 1879 - ?), Nelia Alice Greer (30 Sep 1880 - 11 Feb 1946).

Thank you John! I've been lately looking for ancestors in Orange Co., NC ca1760 or so. As an adult, James Robertson was from Johnston and Orange Co., and many people from that area came with him to the Watauga Settlement.

Randy Johnson liked it! I'll give you an excerpt: "Morgan's engrossing tale follows the explorer to his death in Missouri in 1820 and all along the way, the reader revels in rich descriptions of virgin North America and the life of a man renowned as a 'white Indian' for his woods skills. Morgan's scholarship unearths quotes that take you to an alluring place in the past with 'soil as black as ink, as light as a bank of ashes' where 'a person passing through the woods might be tracked as easily as through snow.' "Reviewer Lee Smith said, 'Morgan's lyric mountain language is equal to the...grandeur of the land itself.' And it's equal as well to a life lived on that land, in a wild and spectacular setting we can only imagine -- even those of us who live and hike and camp in the 'wilds' around a town named 'Boone.'" - Randy Johnson Here's some news about the author's upcoming reading at ASU, too. http://www.highcountrypress.com/weekly/2007/08-09-07/writers_series.htm -----Original Message----- From: ncwataug-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ncwataug-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of harveynorris@comcast.net Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 9:59 AM To: ncwataug@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NCWATAUG] Book about Daniel Boone/High Country magazine I went on line and could not find the review.What did he think of the book? -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Michelle Ligon" <mich9118@bellsouth.net> > > Just to let everyone know, there is a review by Randy Johnson of this > book about Daniel Boone, in the most recent issue of High Country > Magazine (a very well-done magazine, by the way).

Just to let everyone know, there is a review by Randy Johnson of this book about Daniel Boone, in the most recent issue of High Country Magazine (a very well-done magazine, by the way). Here's information about how to get a copy or subscribe. http://www.highcountrypress.com/about/hcmagazine.htm Their address is P.O. Box 152, Boone, NC 28607; and the phone is 828-264-2262. Beautiful photos and quality, interesting stories, brought to us by Ken Ketchie, the former editor of The Mountain Times, and now the editor of High Country Press free weekly newspaper. No, I'm not working on commission. Ha! I just appreciate a "voice" which represents the High Country so well and speaks to preserving authenticity. There is also an article by Linda Kramer titled Standing Stones, about the area cemeteries and the history therein. The author thanks Sanna Gaffney for her help in providing historical accuracy. Sanna, I thank you for all you do for the Genealogical Society. Would that I could, I'd send you all a copy!

I have found an Elizabeth Steelman, wife of George who is the widow of George Steelman in 1800. He died in 1799. This is in Rowan Co. NC. George's father is Mathias Steelman. We are of Mathias' son John's line. I don't believe this is any help to you, but if it is let me know.

The Ray's in my family are but two at this time. They are Ambrose Ray, B 1749 married to Mary Buntin, B. 1728, both of Rowan Co. NC. They had one daughter, Elizabeth Ray B. 16 Feb 1748/49 in Ashe Co. NC. She married Nathaniel Vannoy 1774 in Wilkes NC. I have a number of descendants from the Vannoy line from these two, but nothing furthe on the Ray side.
