My eyes are falling out of my head with the Charles Co MD original deeds I'm attempting for the umpteenth time. However, as a break, I returned to the 700 photos I took at the library in last summer. I am going to print out 2 versions of marriage records for Bute and Warren NC... with my guesses as to whom they are... jump right in anytime. I also noted for the first time a newby... in a book titled Misc Land Office Papers, NC Archives is the following: William Walker plat dated 23 June 1757 537 acres in Granville County on the East Side of Little Creek joining Axeoms Corner and the side of said Crk SCC William Reed, Richerson Wrigen, Sherd Haywood, Dep Suvr. I have at least once seen the son of William Powell Rgn dead 1770 listed ad Richardson instead of Richard. I have noted the presence of Richardsons in various and sundry actions in NC...but the date here is an eye opener... this is not Wm's son who is this??? Two random observations...There is no question there is separate Josephs and Johns...One bunch with the presumed Francis of Dan'l line, and one with John/Bell and the Durhams and Colcloughs and Shearins. However, they do share some geography...we have to be careful in separating them. There are again threads of Isle of Wight Dan'l here, confusing us with his proximity to both Dan'l of Surry and the folk in STafford. I am intrigued how little Richard, son of Joseph hangs out with brothers Ralph and John. Marriages next.... again -----Original Message----- From: ragan-roots-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ragan-roots-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of james garrett Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 12:11 PM To: ragan-roots@rootsweb.com Subject: [RAGAN-ROOTS] James & John Regn M' ellen John Rgn b. 1736 (s/o Charles-2) died 1826 Rockingham NC (This John was in Rowan by 1769 & in Guilford NC in 1770) James Rgn b. 1738 (s/o Charles-2) died 1827 Knox Co TN James was in Rockingham NC with John before he moved to TN.
