Shelby and the rest of list, I am in Yorktown VA and I'm about 4 to 5 hrs. away from Wilson Co. I'm not very familiar with that area of NC. My question is was Johnston at one time part of Nash? What were the boundaries in that area and what other counties should I be trying. I did browse through Nash Co. queeries along with Hyde Co. I have found a lot of Roses but didn't connect anything because I assumed they were too far away to be connected. I was told by a cousin that Johnston Co. had a drawer with 3 large files on the Roses but I'll be darned if anything has turned up. Does anyone have access to Census data? That would help me also. Shelby, I would love to work together on this wall. Maybe with two of us hammering, we can make a dent at least. Crystal
