Rhode Island to North Carolina?!? How common a migration pattern is this? I've been trying to solve my brickwall for a LONG time now and have only recently found ONE thing that MIGHT be of help! Martha (Speight) Field was head of household in Greene County, NC census in 1800 with 1 son and 2 daughters under 10 years old. Could John have been away fighting in a War or looking for land elsewhere at the time of the 1800 census? My brick wall is John Field(s) John Field(s) Sr. born 3 Dec 1763, Rhode Island died 29 Dec 1853, Henry County, TN married circa 1774 in Greene County, NC to Martha Speight born 7 Nov 1777 Greene County, NC, died 6 Sep 1867, Henry County, TN Census records and family bible records which clearly state Rhode Island as his birthplace and his birthdate are pretty well documented .... There is no 1810 Census for Greene County, NC (It was either lost or destroyed, can't remember which) but I assume they are there in 1810 since they are there in the 1830 Census for Greene County, NC as are sons John, Jr. and Michael Fields. Shortly after 1830, they moved with most of their children, and several Speight and Beaman families to Henry County, TN, where they show up on the 1840 and 1850 Census. And Martha shows up there as a widow in the 1860 census. There is no death record for John in TN. No marriage record in NC...nothing that shows his parents names or location in RI!!! I have a copy of his will from TN--nothing to help there! I can't turn up anything to tell me who his parent might have been in Rhode Island!!! "Field Genealogy" by Frederick C. Pierce hasn't been any help... ANY HELP or suggestions would be appreciated!

Cindy: There are a Sylvester, Sr. and Jr in NC at the same time. If Sr. died abt 1781 then the records I found are of Sylvester, Jr as serving in war of 1812. Nothing found for Sr. Sr. born 1730 RI and Jr b. 1752? RI. Have to check exact dates. Sr. married sarah Champain  and Jr married Sarah Clements 1783

I would be interested in a copy of Sylvester Pendelton Jr's War of 1812 records - please contact me off list to discuss. I have birth of Sylvester Sr at 5 Aug 1730 in Westerly, Kings Co, RI - son of Joseph Pendleton and Sarah Worden. My records also show Sylvester Jr. born 1748 in Westerly, Kings Co, RI - son of Sylvester Sr. and Freelove Pendleton, his cousin. The couple did not marry. I also show that Sylvester Jr. was married to Eunice Cobb. Other researchers have the death of Sylvester Sr as occurring around or after 1799 in New Bern county, NC. To date I have not been able to locate anyone who has documentation of this. I have found both Sylvester Sr and Sylvester Jr in the 1790 census in New Bern county, NC all though other records state that Sylvester Jr died in Westerly in 1788 ... there is also a Sylvester, son of Sylvester and Eunice Cobb ... bor5n 9 Nov 1779 ... so I am wondering if the War of 1812 records isn't for Sylvester, the grandson of Sylvester born in 1730 ... it is so confusing to try and untangle all the Sylvesters. Thanks .. anyone else have anything to add???

I looked up your Patriot and he has been accepted as a DAR Patriot. They have him as Sylvester Pendleton, rank: Navy Captain, service: North Carolina, Death: 1790 North Carolina, spouse: Sarah Champlain. At this point all you need to do is go to the DAR website and pull down the form for sending for a Patriots most recent application. It costs $10.00 and takes about 3 weeks to get. Once you have that you only need to establish your relationship and put in an application if that is what you want to do. I would highly encourage it as the DAR is a wonderful organization. Dale in California Looking for any descendants of Sylvester PENDLETON and Sarah CHAMPLAIN. Earlier this year I posted a query looking for information on Sylvester's birth/death. But now I am looking for someone who has a copy of Sylvester's military service during the Revolutionary War. It appears that Sylvester served in the navy in the state of North Carolina. I have been unable to locate a copy of his military service (the film at the National Archives that I need is one that is no longer available for rent and I'm not "willing" to purchase the film.) I have not been able to locate a member of the DAR who has made their application to NSDAR on Sylvester Pendleton's service so am making an appeal to the RI-GenWeb listers.

If you think that he served in North Carolina he may not be on the Federal Rolls that are at the archives. I would suggest that you check with the North Carolina State Archives as they have all the militia rolls. I am a member of the DAR so can do a look up on the DAR site to see if anyone has put in an application on him. I will let you know.

Is anyone going to the State Archives that could do a look up for me. I have the index card (at home). We are confused as to where our ancester died...at the Battle of Yorktown or on board a privateer ship Cormorant on Nov. 26, 1781....John Pullman Sr. There are index cards that say both. But we think it is the same guy. Either me or another Pullman researcher plans a trip next year to R.I. but we have itchitis in the meantime.

You might ask a Kent County volunteer listed on the RAOGK website if they would do a land lookup for you. www.raogk.org ----- Original Message ----- From: <Gransport4551971@aol.com> To: <RIGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 15, 2006 5:27 PM Subject: Re: [RIGENWEB] Zommer lookup > coventry,RI > > > ==== RIGENWEB Mailing List ==== > Newport County RIGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~rinewpor/ > To unsubscribe: http://www.rootsweb.com/~rigenweb/mailist.html#unsubscribe

Brian, The 1940 census will not be made public until 2012. The name Zommer is not in RI on the 1930 census, however there is a Stanley Zommer in California, born RI, on the 1930 census. He is 26 and an inmate in California State Prison in Sacramento Co. If you want this image, let me know.
