In a search on Ancestry.com for GRAYs and McCRADYs in North Carolina, I note that there are a number of McGRADY marriages. My ggg-grandmother was Martha Ann McCRADY, supposedly born in Tennessee about 1814. I have no idea who her parents were or where they came from. There are no McCRADYs that I have been able to find still living there. Martha McCRADY married James A. GRAY (b. 1814 in Halifax Co. VA) in Williamson Co. TN in 1837. In reading copies of abstracts from old newspapers in that county, the death of an Andrew McCRADY was mentioned, as was the marriage of Dorcas McCRADY in about 1835. I cannot determine if these are related to Martha or anything about their families. On the chance that there is any knowledge of McGRADY in Wilkes County, I am hoping that someone can provide any information at all about this family or families, especially if any of them migrated to Tennessee in the early 1800's. Thank you very much. Martha Federle Swannanoa, NC

I know HAND has been seen as HADLEY/HANDY and other variations. I know both families had been in VA in mid 1700's, with one family for sure in HARDY CO. VA in 1790's. Hinckle/Hinckleys were there also. And I believe this name, or another variation has been seen in the N.E. with HAND. As I haven't followed Hinckles, other then noticed those connected by area or marriage to my CARR line, let me give you info on HANDS. They came to Lynn MA ca 1636, and lived in MA till 1642, when they moved to Southampton, LongIsland.(now it is SUFFOLK CO. NY). ca 1660's, some of the sons of John & Alice HAND, the original immigrants, moved to CT, near Guilford and other areas there. One married a WRIGHT, I don't remember the others sposes names. The boys names were John, Joseph and ?. In ca 1695-1700, 3 of the Long ISland boys, Benjamen, Thomas and Shamgar, brothers of the CT boys, moved to CAPE MAY NJ. In later generations, sons of both the NY & NJ boys moved to VA. I know HINCKLE or variation along in eithe NY or NJ with HANDS. Other names were BARNES/BARNEY, SMITH, WRIGHT, STITES, SYKES, JONES, FOSTER, OSBORNE, TALMADGE, TOWNSEND, STUBBS, WHITTIER, and more I can't remember. Others that left NJ and ended up in VA were VALENTINE, BAUERS/BOWERS/POWERS/ TEETER, PARSONS, BADGELY, and more. They were said to have gone by CT, RI, DE, & MD before VA. BADGELY was a Baptist preacher. I know some of the HANDs moved to NC. Another original HAND in 1636 was Richard. He is said to have gone to CT, and on to VA at an early time. I saw some kind of record for him, but had no way of copying it. John & Richard were from KENT ENGLAND. The family had lived a few hundred years in WALES, and were originally from Germany. HAND was originally something else before England, and sometimes here. Sorry I don't remember what. Maybe this can give you some help. GINNY 2 p.s. HAND & HINCKLE went to New Design, MONROE IL in 1798 with Rev. David BADGELY Party. Many lived afterwards in ST.CLAIR CO. IL. Some of the HANDs remained in NC during the late 1700's. Perhaps this could be a connection to you. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Some of Thomas Spratts relations went to Illinois. One of them Cynthia Spratt Married my Great Grand Uncle Jacob Dagenhart as his second wife. They had no children. It is doubtfull any of this family was still in the charlotte area to claim the remains. At least this time there are tombstones/or parts of tombstones.

This is sent as an update on how our abandoned cemeteries are turning up. This 18th century graveyard was found between 5th St. and Randolph Rd. in Charlotte, NC next to Mercy Hospital. The Nursing School (a beautiful historic building) was torn down recently and the parking lot dug up to make way for expansion. I remember many times cutting through the area between the Nursing School and Parking lot. In this area was a landscaped garden with a stone path through it. In the center was a beautiful statue of the Virgin Mary with a fountain around her. I imagine they knew the cemetery was there in 1916 when the parking lot was paved over and Mary marked the spot. Nina Cobb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted on Thu, May. 17, 2007 - The Charlotte Observer When lost graves and growth collide Project on hold as hospital relocates 1770s cemetery When Kenny Seymour first scooped the load of red clay, he didn't know his trackhoe had unearthed a headstone dating from the 1770s. But looking closer, he realized he might have uncovered a lost graveyard at the site of an expanding Charlotte hospital. Construction workers such as Seymour are stumbling more and more upon forgotten cemeteries as crews build new homes and businesses across growing North Carolina. No single state agency records how many burial sites or graves have been revealed recently. But John Mintz, assistant state archaeologist, said his office gets two or three calls each week -- more than ever -- about unexpected finds. Few, however, date back as far as the one found at the hospital site. North Carolina has strict laws about how to handle such collisions between the past and future. In the latest case, Carolinas HealthCare System had to stop work at that section of the site just outside uptown. They hired an archaeology firm. They published notices in the newspaper to locate family members. They hired guards to monitor the site 24 hours a day. Estimated cost: $150,000. And, this week, after getting the City Council's approval, archaeologists started the laborious process of digging up the 13 Revolutionary War-era graves that lie under Mercy Hospital's campus. The remains of one the area's first white settlers, Thomas Spratt, and his family will be reburied in a historic cemetery. Then, crews will finish work on the $100 million project of medical offices and a parking deck. Memory vs. records A seventh-generation descendent, Sarah Withers Keesee, 84, has studied her family's history for decades and had suspected the old Spratt cemetery was there, tucked off Randolph Road.But she believed that Mercy Hospital's parking lot covered it in 1916. She didn't know it was being dug up until she saw an Observer story about the discovery of headstones and bones. The Salisbury native started to call family members. Property records should list things such as known burial grounds or underground oil tanks as a buyer-beware warning, because they can turn into a politically charged hassle for developers and construction crews. But sometimes even when descendants can recall the burial sites, the property records show nothing. Earlier this year, more than 50 unmarked graves dating to the early 1800s were discovered on a Caldwell County site where a Wal-Mart and other shops are under construction to become The Shoppes at Rivercrest. The area was farmed for years and the property records didn't indicate any graves existed, said Lauth Property Group spokesman Marc Lotter. But Lauth hired an archaeologist after a local resident suggested graves might exist there. The remains have since been moved to Sunset Hills Cemetery. Sometimes the graves are found before the bulldozers start digging. When UNC Charlotte was thinking about expansion plans in 1995, it found rows of leaf-covered depressions on campus. The likely cemetery could be a relic from when the county's poorhouse stood there, said associate anthropology professor Janet Levy. The graves remain intact, she said. History unearthed Keesee and two siblings watched on Tuesday as Valerie Davis crouched beside a grave at the Mercy Hospital site, carefully scraping away clay from a darkened area of earth in the shape of a casket. Called a grave stain, it occurs where darker topsoil was mixed with deeper clay when the grave shaft was filled during the initial burial. Even though Davis and the other members of the archaeological team from Georgia-based New South Associates have worked around the world, they said they were excited to be on a site predating the existence of the United States. "There's not too many of them around," said Chris Espenshade. "And it's kind of rare for something like this to drop out of sight." They use trowels, bamboo picks and, eventually, small brushes to carefully remove dirt from the grave outlines. They then sift piles of the dirt through a 1/4-inch screen to catch any buttons or fragments lingering in clumps of dirt. All of that soil, along with any skeletal fragments, will then be reburied in an off-site grave, Davis said. As the crew worked Tuesday, mortuary archaeologist Hugh Matternes pointed out a hand-wrought metal nail at the edge of another grave outline. It would have held together the casket, which disintegrated long ago, he explained to Keesee. Then he pointed to a dark line. He said it appeared to be what's left of an arm bone so old that only discolored soil remained. Red clay's acidity eats away at the bones, he said. Keesee and her siblings watched attentively, taking in the outline of their forebearers. "It's a rather emotional thing when you think about how they've been under a parking lot for so long," Keesee said. The family took pictures in their hardhats and thanked the construction crew, archaeologists and hospital officials. They especially had wanted to meet Seymour, the 31-year-old foreman who stopped construction after he scooped up the tombstone. He smiled shyly as Keesee's 66-year-old sister, Elizabeth Withers Smith, shook his hand. "Your help will always be remembered," she told him. Cemetery in Your Backyard? Family burial grounds were commonplace across the South when rural farms covered most of the area. But weeds and brush can easily cover an old gravesite if left unattended for a few years. Headstones may have toppled or wooden crosses may have disintegrated. However, some tell-tale signs that may remain: • Oblong depressions in the earth where the soil sinks as the body and casket decompose. • Cedar trees, which live a long time and have shallow roots, are commonly planted in cemeteries. • Non-native or domesticated plants such as daffodils and periwinkle that may have been planted at a gravesite. Sprot, Sprat, Spratt A man named Thomas Sprot immigrated to what is now the United States from Ireland, then moved from Pennsylvania to the Carolinas. He and his family are believed to have been the first settlers to drive a wagon through the area in 1755 and cross two Native American trading paths that later become known as Trade and Tryon streets. Sprot settled near what is now Randolph Road. The family name evolved to be Sprat, then Spratt. (Many now use the name Spratt for Thomas Sprot.) Barnets, Binghams, Johnsons and McKnights joined into the family. Today, many descendants remain in the area, including U.S. Rep. John Spratt, D-S.C., and Jane Spratt McColl, the wife of Hugh McColl Jr. The discovery of the cemetery introduced some family members to each other for the first time. At Monday's Charlotte City Council meeting, member Patsy Kinsey realized she's related to the families who sat in front of her, asking for permission to move the graves to Steele Creek Presbyterian Church. And Thomas Spratt V, a 3-year-old who lives in Fort Mill, S.C., marks the 10th generation of male descendants to have lived continuously within 30 miles of the original homestead.

I notice the marriage record shows that her middle name was Elizabeth. Now, more than ever, I think the Fannie Holbrook who died in Wilkes Co. in 1986 was indeed this identical Fannie Holbrook, as the NC death index entry indicates she was Fannie Elizabeth. For some peculiar reason, her date of birth (or at least year of birth) is incorrect in the SSDI & death index entry. I wonder if she had an obituary? As far as Fannie's birth is concerned, the 1900 census shows that each family member in the household was born in April. Hummm...lazy enumerator? Jason indicates that mom Sarah Bauguess Sprinkle was born 18 Aug 1859, so she definitely wasn't born Apr 1862 as on the census. The twins (Lillie & John Amie) are shown on the census as born Apr 1889 and that is correct; they were born 28 Apr 1889, as shown on Lillie's death certificate and on John's WWI Draft registration (date of birth is blank on his death certificate). If Fannie is the Fannie Elizabeth Holbrook who died in 1986, then rather than being born Apr 1887 as indicated on the census, her day & month of birth of 25 Oct in the SSDI & NC death index entry are quite possibly correct; however, rather than being born in 1897, perhaps she was born in 1887. Jason indicated that the marriage record shows that Fannie was 22 when she married 20 Aug 1910. That would be consistent with an October 1887 birth. (And the 1910, 1920! & 1930 censuses suggest a year of birth around 1886 or 1887.) Jason asks: "Sarah Bauguess married Robert Sprinkle on 10/28/1884. In 1900, she was listed as a widow, age 38. When did she die?" Tracy's post at the Sprinkle GenForum back in 2002 provides some additional information on Sarah Bauguess Sprinkle. See: http://genforum.genealogy.com/sprinkle/messages/537.html I do not know if she died after the tragic incident or not. If so, I'd guess she was deceased by 1910.
