Address change? Anyway: Thanks so much for responding to my query on ancestry.com re Mount Lawn cemetery. I tried findagrave.com with no luck. Since I personally buried my father at Greenwood and he was not in findagrave.com I presume the main North Wilkesboro cemeteries are incompletely listed if at all. My parents both grew up in North Wilkesboro and I spent many summers from the late 40's, 50's and early 60's there. Both of my familes have pretty much all passed and my mother, father and mothers family are buried in Greenwood while my fathers family is buried in Mountlawn. Specifcally my grandfather James Edward Deans, his son Thomas Richard Deans and my grandmother Pauline Elliott Deans should be buried there, I have good data on them but there is a chance my GGM Mary Frances Deans is also buried there, presumably near her son James Edward Deans. Mary was from Chowan County but moved to live with her son ca 1905 and thus may be buried at Mountlawn. I do not have good data on Mary's birth or death dates and thus my query. If you can help in any way I would appreciate it. I live in Texas and it's obviously difficult for me to get to Mountlawn. Thanks again. Jim Deans

The Wilkes County Court Minutes on Thursday 8 December 1780 say that Charles Crenshaw was appointed commissioner for the County of Wilkes for carrying out an act of the General Assembly in the state for levying a specific Provision Tax on all the inhabitants of the state for the support of the Army and the Navy of the state and the United States into the southern departments. My question is, does anyone know where I can find a list of who paid this Provision Tax in Wilkes County in 1780? Thanks for any help. Kay Torpey

Dear Wilkes Researchers, My line goes back to Elisha Reynolds who lived in Wilkes from the 1750s until his death in 1836. He married Judith Eddins and was a veteran of Kings Mountain. We believe his father was a John Francis Reynolds b. in Virginia about 1710. There is also a brother, John Francis who owned land in Wilkes at the same time Elisha. This brother was married to Anne Blackburn. The reason for my email is to encourage males of the Reynolds line to participate in the Reynolds DNA project. Eventually, this new tool is going to solve a lot of brick wall problems for everyone, but we need a lot of donors. If you are (or know of) a male Reynolds with connections to North Carolina, your participation in the Reynolds DNA project would greatly aid my own research. However Reynolds with connections anywhere are greatly welcomed. If interested, just go to this website for information. http://www.reynoldsdna.com/ Margaret Reynolds Oliver

Our oldest known ancestor, Abraham Haynes, b. 1775 in Maryland married Allie Canaday in Wilkes County in 1800. They moved on to Georgia, eventually settled in Clay Co., Ala. in the mid 1830's. My husband is going to take a DNA test to try to match someone in his family line. I'm hoping that some of the same family might still be living in this county or might see this message and would be willing to take the test himself. Doris in Texas

Try interment.net or findagrave.com. They have volunteer built lists. Or maybe contact George McNiell. He has all Wilkes cemeteries catalogued and will give any info he has by request. Hope this helps, Jimmie Staley
