Hello Rosa, I have them in my database. Benajah is in my line of Peacocks, but a different branch. I have him, as you do, born about 1814 in Dobbs/Wayne Co., NC and died about 1901 in Schley Co., Ga., married to Penelope Herring, c 1815-1842. I show 5 children, Elizabeth Wealthy, Keziah Ann, Robert Howell, Hartwell Joshua and Mary Angiline. I believe my source was http://www.wf.net/~jyates/html/fam00026.htm. When Penelope died, he married Elizabeth Murray, and they had a son, John Wesley. She died in 1845 and he married a third time, to Eleanor Price Thompson, and they had 6 kids. Benajah's was the first of 10 children of Robert Peacock and Wealthy Howell. After Wealthy died, he married her sister, America Howell, and they had 10 more kids. I show Robert born in Wayne Co., NC and moving to Twiggs Co, then HoustonCo, then Loundes Co.,Ga,then returning to Wayne,NC, and dying in Brooks, GA. Robert was one of the many children of Simon Peacock and Zilpha Pittman, Wayne Co., NC, son of John Peacock and Patience Ann Raiford, Wayne Co., NC, from whom I descend through another son Jesse. - Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "harold parks" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 11:27 AM Subject: Re: [NCWAYNE] Benajah Peacock > > > Rose Parks <[email protected]> wrote: > Does anyone have information on the Peacock family?

Guy, I'm late responding to the request for replying to the msg about getting messages - was out of town but I do keep an eye on this mail list on Wayne Co, NC! For Carolyn Bakker & Joyce Helmers: I also have HOWELLs (my maiden name!) Some info has that my CASWELL HOWELL b ca 1820 NC was born in Wake Co, NC. Other info has that his wife was a PERNEICE or ARRENA WOMACK - neither has proved correct. CASWELL HOWELL (1820-1883) had a bro, BARNEY B. HOWELL b ca 1825/27 NC. LDS records have PERNEICE MORING/MOORING as wife of my CASWELL HOWELL, which might be more likely, as bro BARNEY B. HOWELL mar a SMITHY ANN MORING in Thomas Co, GA., to which the HOWELL boys moved - were found there in GA in the 1850 Census. I keep an eye out for Wayne Co, NC after being led "astray" by a pa-ternal aunt's info on the wife - since the names of Wake & Wayne Cos are similar, I don't want to leave any rock unturned! <g> Would love to hear from others researching HOWELLs in this area - my direct line stayed in GA after CASWELL HOWELL came to Thomas Co, GA - he was a farmer & was ordained as a preacher in Thomas Co, GA 1854 then CASWELL HOWELL moved over into Lowndes Co, GA which part was cut into Berrien Co, GA, where my father HARRY LEE HOWELL was b 1902. CASWELL HOWELL is my g-gf, my grand-father was HAMPTON ANDERSON HOWELL b ca 1851 GA. Many thanks for listening! Sarah Howell Studstill [email protected]

Hello, I've just learned that a cousin, a flying instructor, was killed in an accident at Seymour Johnson AFB in 1965. I wondered if anyone might have a chance to photocopy a newspaper article and / or obituary for me? (I have the exact date.) I'd be happy to cover copy and postage costs. If you're able to help on this, I'd really appreciate hearing from you. Thank you very much! Joan Nova Scotia, Canada [email protected]

The 1850 Wayne County Census is now online http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nc/waynenc.htm 1790-1840 are upcoming If any of you are interested in having 1860-1920 online, you may see what is involved at the following site http://www.skcensus.com/census/nc/wayne.html [email protected]

I am looking for any information on Joshua DAVIS born in Pasquotank County in 1731. He married Huldah White there and they had several children and then moved to Rich Square in Halifax County. From there they came to Dobbs County (Wayne County). Huldah died there and then Joshua married Elizabeth Newsom. They had some children also. With both wives, Joshua had seven children. Records are not consistent about which children went with which wife. I would like to a good source for which ones belonged to the first and second wives. I descend from Richard but would like to have info on any of the siblings and their descendants. Birth dates are confusing also. Sarah Lynne Davis Isaacs [email protected]

Paula, My connection to the Yelverton family is thru Nancy Yelverton who married John Davis of the Eureka area of Wayne Co. Her father and mother were Etheldred and Mary (Polly) Forrest Yelverton. Etheldred's father was Hardy Yelverton (1755-1829). His father was John Yelverton (1716-1795). How are you connected to Yelvertons? Frank Hooks Thompson 200 Brinkley Road Greenville, NC 27858

I found in Dale Co.,AL a Joshua Herring age 62 on the 1850 census with wife Kesiah and son Joseph age 25 in household and probable son William R. born 1813 just above. Several of William's children were born in GA. There are not many Joshua Herrings (or various spellings) on census and found only one in GA 1830, listed as Joshua Herrin in Marion Co., Ga with himself and wife in right age group and could be William and Joseph. 012201-010001. Names on the same page include, Drinkwater, Windham, Amerson, then Joshua, Melvin, Underwood, Page, William & Ephriam Taylor; John & Wiley & Moses Hill, Adams,Posey, Cox and then Tekil & Thomas Taylor. Included given names of the several alike and surnames recognized from these counties of Dobbs. I believe this Joshua Herring may be the son of Enoch Herring of Sampson Co. NC. Are any of the names above ones that anyone here is researching? Do you have any information on Joshua Herring with wife Kesiah/Keziah??? Thanks.. Rose Parks

Hello Frank, I see we are researching four of the same surnames: PEACOCK (primary for me) as well as Applewhite, Barden/Bardin and Thompson. Wonder if either of us have info that can help the other. Here's what I put out for the roll call several days ago: "Researching PEACOCK ancestors in Wayne and Johnston Counties, and the surnames they married into.

Wayne County Heritage Book ANDREW BASS FAMILY OF DOBBS AND CRAVEN COUNTY Andrew Bass lived in Craven County, N.C. and died there in 1767. He was a large land owner, in Craven and Dobbs County. One vast holding of his was referred to by some of the local gentry as Bass's Folly. It has not been proven where this man was from, or who his parents were. However, he seemed to be an educated man and well liked by all his comtemporaries. Richard Bass, son of Andrew Bass and wife Anne Bass, was born in Craven County, N.C. ca 1730, died in Wayne County, N.C. in 1814. He is thought to have married Sarah McKinnie of Wayne County.

Dr. Bass was a leader in the American Revolution and one of the founders of the town of Waynesborough. He willed to his daughter, Anna, twenty-two slaves and more than four thousand acres of land. His will was probated April 1791 Wayne County Court. Henry Rhodes of Dobbs County, will probated 25 January 1774, is thought to be the grandfather of General Rhodes. The Rhodes Family Bible shows that General Rhodes and Anna Bass were married April 10, 1793 and that they had three sons and three daughters to wit: Joseph Andrew, James, William Thomas, Sallie Ann, Anna Maria and Rhodes Clarissa. James was the only son who lived to marry and that was to two daughters of Daniel Kornegay. After the death of General Rhodes in 1810, his widow married Cullen Blackman. Daughter Sallie Ann married Stephen Smith; Anna Maria married (1)General Edward Ward (2) Buckner Lanier Hill; and Rhodes Clarissa married Richard Blackledge Hatch.

I'm researching PEACOCK - My 5G Grandparents were John PEACOCK and Patience Ann RAIFORD. My database shows Sarah M. PEACOCK married to Dillon HOOKS.

Laura, I see from the roll call that you are researching several of the names that I have in my database: 1. I have a Priscella Worrell (b c 1745) married to John Peacock. Peacock reseachers disagree on which John she was married to. Some say she was another wife of the John Peacock (c1710/15 - c1781) that was married to Patience Ann Raiford (my line - this John my 5G Grandfather). Others say Priscella was married to the John (b 1736) who was son of Samuel Peacock II (1705-93), a brother of the other John. Can you shed any light. 2. John and Patience's son Peter PEACOCK (c 1745 - c1824) was married to a Sally APPLEWHITE (b bef. 1749). 3. John and Patience's son, "Lame" John PEACOCK (c1755-c1828), was married to a Mary THOMPSON (1759-aft 1828). Also, Peter's grandson, Peter Lewis PEACOCK, married a Sally THOMPSON. Another THOMPSON connection was a little later in TN, when Peneicy PEACOCK (b 1839), ggranddaughter of John and Patience (through Jesse and Wiley) married a Steven M. THOMPSON in 1859 in Carroll Co., TN. Do you recognize any of these Worrell, Applewhite and Thompson names.

Hi again,did you receive my reply? thanks Rosey Casey

Guy, Do you know of any family connection between any Davis and a Carraway? My daddy's middle name was Carraway and my grandmother told m that Carraway was a family name. I was young enough not to care about asking who and later my daddy didn't even know, just that it was a family name from someone around Dudley. I had Davis relatives from the Everittsville area, Peacherina and near Providence United Church. I also have some pages from an old Bible. If I send these to you, can you reformat it for the site?

Try the Rocky Mount census records for the early 1900s thru the late 1950s. My Gmom lived on Branch Street and I know that Mrs. Lula Proctor lived near her. I was a kid at the time , in the 1940-50 era, but I remember the name well. I don't know the age range of this Lula at that time. Keep me posted.
