Hello everyone, I am hoping someone can help me or steer me in the right direction. In 1850 I find a family in the census John and Lydia Burges in Pasquotank County NC. Later I do not find them. I believe this could possibly be the family I have been looking for. I can find them in 1860...under another name. Would this family be listed in the Cane MM? I believe they were excommunicated from the church, moved and changed their names around (using the middle as last) because of the impending war which my ancestor served in. Thanks to any help or suggestions. Debbie
Debbie, Nearly everyone on this list knows I have no information on individuals, so they will not be surprised that I am responding only to the request to suggest sources of the information. Pasquotank MM <http://www.quakermeetings.com/viewRecord_display?anID=TST1826L>was the earliest Quaker meeting in North Carolina and came to be known as Symons Creek or Little River from 1741 until it closed in 1851 and was attached to Piney Woods MM in Perquimans County <http://www.quakermeetings.com/viewRecord_display?anID=TST1453L>. Look for your family names in Hinshaw under these two MMs in eastern North Carolina; you should not expect to find them under Piedmont-area meetings like Cane Creek MM. Tom Thomas C.
