I thought I would repost my query. My grandmother's grandfather Iicson Gray married Lucinda ? is from the Washinton/Bertie/Beauford County (NC) area. Iicson is a Native American, I think Tuscarora Indian. His son is William Gray, which William later moved to Halifax and Nash Counties where he married George Anna Whitley. George Anna is the daughter of Tempie Devereaux (Halifax/Bertie Co.) and Wright (Right) Whitley (related to the Whitleys' in Black Creek, NC (Wilson Co). Wright's mother was a Whitley and his father was a Vick. George Anna used to live in Black Creek just across the railroad tracks. Tempie's (Tempe) parents are Hopey and Alston. Tempie, her parents, brothers and sisters were slaves of the John & Thomas Devereaux (Halifax/Bertie Co.). I was told Tempie had a boarding house in Nashville, NC that was were William and George Anna met and married. William and George Anna's daughter is Lena Gray. Lena married James "ST" Robinson (Wayne/Wilson Co.). James is also known as "Buddy", his parents are Louise Barnes and Anderson (Andrew) Robinson. After Anderson's death, Louise married Milton Sanders. Please contact me if you have any info whether big or small. I know that someone must have heard of these people. Thanks, BJ
