Hi, you don't hear from me much, but I was wondering if anyone knows if a person whose surname was TRIPLETT ever lived and/or died in Watagua County, around 1876? thanks, and take care Dorothy Swafford Triplett

Did several of you indicate that the published history could be obtained on-line? Lillian Donnally

Hi List, I know we have lots of members, but am not sure just who you are. Are any of you descendants of Abner Adams and Mary Isabelle Combs? Their children were: George Willett Adams 9-25-1876 Allie Elizabeth Adams 7-16-1878 Alverta Adams 9-30-1881 Alfred Lee Adams 7-78-1887 I descend from George Willett and Bessie Eggers Adams. Sharon

Greetings to all! I wish to express my sincere and heart-felt appreciation for all of you who have taken the time to help me. As I stated in my query, I am searching for the PARENTS and/or SIBLINGS of: Elizabeth Ann Ward, born in probably Dutch Creek or Valle Crucis. 6-2-1817 Thomas Franklin Norwood, born in probably Banner Elk, 1-18-1813 I have volumes, upon volumes, of information concerning their 14 children and their families. This includes photos, family bible records, census reports, etc. What our whole linage is missing is the PARENTS and/or siblings! Although much has been placed on the InterNet trying to connect Thomas Franklin Norwood to the Norwood/Hogg family.....that information is false. I have the original book by Aves-Norwood and Thomas is not listed! What we know about Elizabeth Ann Ward: She was called "Betsey", had red hair, spoke with a lisp and was short. She did not have a very good attitude! Her mother's last name is possibly "Kennedy" or "Cannady".........this from an audio tape of one of her children made by LJ's granddaughter. Thomas Franklin Norwood was a blacksmith by trade. We have traced the family from NC to Georgia to Tennessee. One of their sons, William Norwood was born in Watauga County, married Lydia Townsend there and spent his entire life in that area. He is buried there. Any help on the PARENTS or SIBLINGS of Elizabeth or Thomas is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Charlotte

On what? The 100th anniversary book? I don't have it in front of me, but even without looking I would assume it was printed in 1949. That was the 100th anniversary of Watauga county. Even if it doesn't have the wood copyright, or the circle c, there is automatic copyright on anything that is printed. It doesn't have to be a registered copyright to be copyrighted. For example, the JPR History of Watauga did not have a name index when it was first printed. But the new one from Over Mountain Press in Johnson City, TN has the index. That index is copyrighted. I haven't taken the time to index it myself because it is searchable as I have it online and it just didn't seem worth the trouble.

Hi All - Sometimes I forget that some of the people on this list join from the Rootsweb sit and may not be familiar with the NCGenWeb Watauga site. There is lots of information here that some of you might not have seen. Lots of links. Also will be glad to add any information that is copyright free that someone is willing to contribute. There is also a section with links to web pages that people have up about their personal Watauga related lines.

This can be bought on the Walmart online, that is where I had purchased my second one, and just sold one on ebay!

The book the history of watauga co, is good if you are researching the families that are in the book. I found it a great resource when looking up the harmons, bairds, druggers and so forth . There is another book that he wrote which is also good michelle

I have not found Arthur's "History of Watauga Co." to be a terribly helpful resource, primarily because its focus was on the "town" of Boone and its citizens at a time when Boone was one of the least important areas of the county. My understanding is that the author developed his information from people who were living in or traveling through Boone, where he was staying, rather than actually traveling and researching the county on his own. I certainly am not an authority in this regard however, and would like to hear some more ideas and discussion along these lines. Steve Ward
