There is a book called "Gravestone Inscriptions" over 600 pages. The Wayne Co. Historical Society has given permission to put this on the Wayne Co. Archives and much has been put on already. It is not under Cemeteries but Gravestone Inscriptions. There are many EARLY burials in the ones I have seen. These are in albhabetical order according to the cemetery name and or the most surnames in the cemetery. This is the address to just one of the cemeteries, I suppose #381 http://flp.rootsweb.com/pub/~usgenweb/nc/wayne/cemetery/381.txt and this is the address to the Index http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nc/wayne/index.htm I hope I got this right. I sent this about 2 weeks ago. Rose Parks

looking for Kings in Wayne Coo,NC- are there any cemetery books ? Ann

Most wills that are date prior to the 1900's are kept at the N.C. archives in Raleigh. There are several N.C. will books out, that someone could do a look up for you. I have one called North Carolina Wills: A Testator Index 1665-1900 by Thornton W. Mitchell. I will do a look up in for you, if the person falls within these dates. To order will records from N.C. the address is below. Also, they have a wonderful website that you can print out order forms from.

Searching for any and all information on a John Wright Rose early 1800's. I may be contacted at [email protected] Thanks, Chris

I'm new to the list and here are my surnames/ancestors who lived in Wayne county... Becton (Charles and Hannah Sauls/Ruffin Becton); Sherrod (Cassie Exum and Jack Sherrod); Exum (Will and Easter Exum); Barnes (Ana Kaye/Anace Barnes); Vick (Tom and Easter Exum Vick); Best (Hannah Best); Pate (John and Sarah McCall Pate); McCall (Classie Greene McCall). All of my ancestors so far lived in Eastern North Carolina (Green, Wayne, Wilson, Nash, Craven counties) but who knows because I'm stuck on most of my lines and they could had come from other counties. By the way, I'm African American but would appreciate any info that you might have on the slaves which your ancestors owned if any of these names are mentioned. Also these people had lots of children and siblings so I'm listing only the oldest ancestors. Thanks, M. Becton! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi, I am wondering if anyone has information on and Isaac Thompson born about 1780 and had his name legally changed to Isaac Handley in 1798. Isaac inherited quite a bit of land from his adoptive (or real) father John Handley SR of Wayne Co., NC. John died about 1799 and was married to Celia Boykin (who died abt 1802). Some Handley researchers and I are trying to find the true parents of Isaac and think that John SR may be the true father with a Thompson girl being the mother. Can anyone help?? Thanks so much.

Looking for more information on Jacob Barnes of Wayne County. He sold land to Noel Fearrell (Ferrell) in Wayne County in 1842 (Wayne Co. Deed Book 19, p. 18. Was this the Jacob Barnes (b. abt. 1778) that was married to Patience Renfrow? Or was it another one I don't know about (yet)? Thanks in advance for any information. G. Hunter Ferrell [email protected]

Lenoir Co will allow you to personally go there and search the records. I have gone many times myself. I find I get much more info if I personally check the records myself.

Cumberland County does not allow you behind the counters. I know this does not apply to Lenior but thought I would toss this into the ring in case someone were to drive all this way and get turned down. I live here and I have tried 3 times. Gave up running the county for USGenWeb due to that problem. Montgomery is great about allowing you access. Many counties are turning to this as records get misfiled, walk off, torn, etc. I have had complaints from folks who state that Stanly County is now unable to help with mail in requests for records, with the fees sent, state they do not have time or the manpower but if you go to their office, the do allow you behind the counter. Only counties I have researched in (behind the counters) are Anson, Montgomery, Stanly, Cleveland, Gaston in NC. NY state is impossible, no records at all unless you prove your direct connection. By mail this means that you send your driver's license, birth record, etc. This is supposedly for the safety of the record itself, to keep from someone stealing the deceased's identity but what about the living's data going thru the postal service?? No answer for that when I complained. And if you can't prove direct lineage, and there are no living issue for the deceased, you are out of luck. The record rots in the county offices and the state archives. And it certainly does depend on who is the person who opens your envelopes as to whether they will look up the record. I have met some really helpful folks in these offices and then I have met some really sour ladies. In Cumberland, had I been rich, I would have loved to have told the lady to never mind letting me look at the index to determine which records I would like, just copy each and every SMITH (though I am not researching that surname) record they have in the entire office. I would have loved to have seen her mouth drop but alas, I am not rich. I believe that the records in every office in every state should be accessible to every person. I have no problem at all in being searched as I enter and as I leave if they would begin this practice as I have seen where wills have been cut out of the books and records have been misfiled, but to keep folks from accessing them is wrong. Allowing us behind the counters or not allowing us, I can also understand this, but to not allow us to view an index or to state that they do not have one, (as I have also been told once) is totally off. I have also sent for records only to be told none existed, yet I went there and found them myself. They kept my money of course. :)) I suggest that you state on your next request that you will be coming to their county in the summer to do research but need this particular record before then. Then if you get a "no record exist", keep your copy and if you do get a chance to make it to the county at a later date, and do find the record, then bring it to the attention of the head of the department. Probably will not do you any good, but it will make you feel better at the time. If you continued to have trouble, try contacting the library, many times they have these records on microfilm and for a fee will do lookups. Good luck and excuse the long post.
