When I started I knew my dad and grandfathers names and that was it. I now have made it back from me 6 generations and this is where I am stuck. I did some googleing on names the other day and a Melungeon website came up with a census (1850) and a lot of my ancestors were on it. I also had my brother do a DNA test this past November to help me with my research. I was hoping to match someone who is also doing research. I am trying to connect with family. I know my dad had 4 uncles so there should be other relatives somewhere. My research ends where I began in VA/WV. Is there somewhere I can contact or somewhere I can compare my history? I don't have Ancestry.com or Genealogy.com so I can't go there. Please, I hope anyone can help me. I am eagerly awaiting an answer.

I believe that mine is named James E (possible Edward as that name goes down thru the family). This James was called "Jim", his decendants were called "Ed" & such. James E was born about 1821 in Wilkes Co, according to his statement on his pension file. It has been suggested that he could be the son of Hannah Pilkington Lunsford & possibly Micajah Lunsford. There was an Elisha in Johnson Co & Carter TN in those early & mid 1800 census that could be part of that family too, but not proven. Enoch is definitely a son of Hannah. Just looking for that missing piece to prove Jame's parentage. He also is supposed to be a cousin to a Nancy Dornbush who married Edenton Mitchell. Does anybody have anything on the Dornbushes that lived in Wilkes & Ashe Co? There doesn't seem to be any there in census records.

Hello Frank, Sorry it's taken me so long to answer. We've had some health issues to deal with & will be for the next month or so. So, I've not been on line all that much here of late! From my end, I have no idea if any of my ancestor's were in the areas you mention. None of my lines were in Anson county in so far as I am aware. In all probability if your Edwards were in close proximity to my Edwards, they are probably connected. Just that I can't tell you through whom! I don't have my map of NC in front of me with the counties to say for sure! So, is conjecture on my part. Sorry, I couldn't help! Perhaps Katherine can be of help? Happy Hunting!

I'm trying to get back beyond a William Edwards (1782-1852) who supposedly was born in Anson County, NC. and migrated to MS around 1840. He married (1) Jane Everett (1804-1826) and then Sarah Lockhart (abt 1810-1862). With Jane he had one child, William Everett Edwards (1826-1890) and with Sarah he had 8 children. If any of this resonates with you, let's communicate. Frank Edwards, Fairfield Glade, TN; [email protected]

Nancy, I would be interested in your Mitchell family. Mine were of NC, but county unknown. They appear to start with Capt.

This George Hite confuses me because I can't place him. I descend from Joist Hite of Winchester, Va., through his son, Col. Jacob Hite and his wife, Frances Madison. Jacob and Frances were killed by the Cherokee in S.C. in 1776. I have reviewed all of my extensive Hite records and this George is an enigma.
