The first permanent English settlers in North Carolina were Virginians who heard glowing reports of fertile bottom lands, abundant timber resources, and an excellent climate. They moved into the Albemarle Sound area about 1650, purchasing land from the local Indian tribes. The Virginia Assembly also granted land along the Chowan and Roanoke rivers to Roger Green in 1653. By 1657, Nathaniel Batts had a house at the western end of Albemarle Sound. English claims on North Carolina date to 1497 when John Cabot visited the New World and claimed the area for King Henry VII. These claims were the basis for Charles I's 1629 grant of "Carolana" to Sir Robert Heath, who failed to settle Carolina before the execution of Charles I in 1649. During the Commonwealth period in England, many citizens remained loyal to Charles II. At his ascension to the throne of England in 1660, eight men pressed their claims for a reward: Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon; George Monck, Duke of Albemarle; Lord William Craven; Lord John Berkeley; Lord Anthony Ashley Cooper, Earl of Shaftesbury; Sir George Carteret; Sir William Berkeley; and Sir John Colleton. Charles II granted Carolina to the eight Lords Proprietors in 1663. After the claims of Heath's successors had been disposed of, the grant was revised and extended in 1665. Two factors heavily influenced the development of North Carolina. Its stormy coastline, known as the "graveyard of the Atlantic," does not include a natural harbor to promote commerce. The Cape Fear River is the only river that empties into the Atlantic Ocean, and its approaches are endangered by the Frying Pan Shoals. Except for Highland Scots, immigrants to North Carolina generally arrived by overland routes. The second factor influencing North Carolina's development was the presence of approximately 35,000 Native Americans. They taught the European settlers important agricultural techniques such as planting row crops and fertilizing plants. The Europeans also learned the natives' techniques of wilderness war. But the presence of the whites eventually destroyed the native civilization through disease, forceful removal to reservations, and war. New Bern was founded in 1710 by colonists from Germany, Switzerland, and England under the leadership of Christopher de Graffenried. The colonists landed in Virginia and trekked overland to North Carolina, arriving too late to plant and harvest crops. The settlement survived and flourished, however, and New Bern became the largest town in North Carolina during the colonial period. The New Bern settlement, however, was located in the Tuscarora hunting grounds, and the Cary Rebellion in 1711 left the colonists open to attack. The Tuscarora Indian War (1711-15) was the result. In 1729 the Lords Proprietors, except for John Carteret, Earl Granville, sold their shares in the provinces of North and South Carolina to King James II of England, ending the proprietary period. North Carolina was the most sparsely settled English colony in America at that time. The end of the proprietary period marked the beginning of a period of great expansion and growth. Scots-Irish and German immigrants traveled over the Great Wagon Road from Pennsylvania through the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia to North Carolina. Highland Scots, the only significant migration that sailed directly to North Carolina, settled in the Cape Fear River valley. The Moravians purchased nearly 100,000 acres in present-day Forsyth County from Earl Granville in 1753 and settled the tract they called "Wachovia." The movement for independence was strong in North Carolina, and a provincial congress met in New Bern in 1774. Yet not all North Carolinians supported the revolution. The Highland Scots, in particular, remained loyal to the crown and recruited Loyalist military units. In 1789, North Carolina ratified the United States Constitution and ceded its western lands, now known as Tennessee, to the federal government. The site for the state capital was located and named Raleigh three years later. Dissatisfaction with the state constitution of 1776, which heavily favored the eastern counties and towns, resulted in the constitutional convention of 1835 and the adoption of a new state constitution. North Carolina was not ardently secessionist in 1860, but when the federal government requested troops to quell the rebellion, Gov. John W. Ellis refused, and North Carolina soon joined the Confederacy. North Carolina supplied about 125,000 troops to the Confederacy, more than any other southern state, and over 14,000 North Carolinians were killed in action. From the end of the Civil War, North Carolina rapidly developed as an industrial state. Governmental support fostered the growth of the textile, tobacco, and furniture industries for which North Carolina is known.

I am looking for Donna Ivey, and/or the children of Tommy and Donna Ivey. Their children that I remember are Tami and Donovon. I was married to Tommy's brother, Aldean, from 1962 until 1972. We had two children together, Sheila and Rick. In 1999, Tami Ivey submitted an entry to the website looking for relatives of Wade & Louise Ivey, sons Tommy and Aldean. I tried writing to her at her email address but it was no longer working. I wish very much to get in touch with them and I'm sure my children would like to meet them. All the children would benefit from knowing each other. I lost touch with Donna in the 70's and have never been able to find her. Please advise.

Does anyone know who these families are, in 1819 in Duplin Co. Bryant REGBY, Russell regby, Rebecca Ann Regby, Sarah Ann Regby, Michael Hill and his wife Catherine Hill. They all sold land to Benjamin Best Jr. of Duplin Co. NC, they all moved to Darlington Dist. in SC. by 1819. Benj. Best Sr. and Eli Wendham wee witness to the land sale on 7 June 1819. The land was located South side of Grove Swamp, and run into Buck Branch, containing 230 acres, and one track containing 5 acres on South side of Horse Branch. I'm mainly looking for the Hill and Best lines. Thanks, Donna

Thanks to all of you who responded. I'm looking for Cobbs who lived in Northampton, Wayne, Johnston, Chatham Co. prior to the Revolution. Although several of them went on to TN or western Carolina before it became TN, there must be bunches of descendants from this very large family of Benjamin, Robert, Stephen, Jesses, Joshua, Nathaniel, Joseph, Absalom, Pharoah, who remained to eastern Carolina. I'm trying to find Cobb descendants who can help us prove or disprove connections to several SC and GA Cobb families related by DNA but otherwise without a history prior to ca 1785, Since many of the neighbors' and allied families' of the Cobbs in these early NC areas seem to be neighbors in the greater Richmond/Warren/Wilkes Co., GA, area ca 1788-1800, we are hoping that we can also find a positive Cobb link.

According to the information I have, Cullen Conerly, son of John and Keziah Herring Conerly was born ca 1745. He made his will 11 November 1811 and it was probated in the January 1812 court. It has been assumed that Cullen Conerly married Letitia Ward soon after they moved to Duplin Co., as their first child was born ca 1774. In his will dated 30 May 1796, Luke Ward mentions his wife Bridget, son Luke, Penny, and Elizabeth Pollock and dividing remaining part of my property among my six children. Luke's widow, Bridget, died 28 July 1827 and it was recorded in the Feb 1828 term of court. The Legatees of Bridget Ward are William Pollock who married Elizabeth Ward; Anthony Drew who married Penny (Penelope) Ward; Letitia Connerly, wife of Cullen Conerly; Mary Ward Kornegay, who married Jacob Kornegay, John Ward, and Luke Ward. Bridget Ward was the daughter of Walter Draaughn who died ca 1768 in Bertie County. Her mother's name is not known to me. Mary Wilkinson, daughter of William Wilkinson and Elizabeth [Moore?] had married John Russell on or about the 26th January 1807 in Duplin Co. I do not know what happened to John but on the 14th January 1808 she married, secondly, Owen Conerly, in Fayetteville, Cumberland Co. William Wilkinson died before 1800 and, in 1803, his widow married Mark Russell. I wonder if there was any kinship between John and Mark Russell? Margaret Miller

Thanks. I do have one from North Carolina, but don't know if they are from the same Gurley line as the ones I have in Texas. I have a Mary Gurley (b. abt 1813) who married and Enoch Williams (b. abt 1801) in 1859, don't have any information on her parents though.

Well I have 1880 census fromYancy County with Elizabeth and some of the children John: Joseph: Henry and Charlie.. Henry Jr was born about 1862 Henry Sr seems to have vanished by then .. he is listed as Father to the children but I have no marriage record yet .. I looked in Wayne county because there seemed to be a lot of Gurley names there.. I also found a mention of a Henry Gurley as heir to land from one WILLIAM GURLEY in Anson NC.. from july 1815 One Henry is also listed as a Bondsman for William GURLEY in 1812..so Henry seems to be a common name for one branch of Gurley.. it took me 25 years to find that much .. (LOL) I only knew the name Elizabeth and 2 of the brothers names..
