This group wears the clothing similar to the Amish but many do use at least some modern conveniences and even the women take jobs in the local workforce. Sarah Goodman

I have a book titled "The Old Brethren" by James H. Lehman 1976 that is a history of the Brethren Church. All the names of early leaders of the Church are mentioned. The Brethren used and still practice some of the traditions of the Moravians. One main difference is the "Love Feast". Growing up in the Moravian church I know this to be wonderful music, coffee with milk and Love Feast Buns, a meal together shared by grownups and children and at Christmas, Moravian candles. I was very surprised when I visited a Brethren Church to find it means Communion, Foot Washing and a Church meal afterwards. I have found them to be as lovingly spiritual, very friendly and work very hard in the community. The Brethren today have a world wide Disaster Response Team to help with victims of floods, earthquakes or any disaster that strikes a community.

The Dunkards were from PA. That was just a nickname for them. Today they are called The Church of the Brethren and they do have a website. My Earhart/Airhart family who settled in Old Tryon So, now Lincoln were in this group. There is a church of the Brethren Encyclopedia in several volumes which has info on a lot of the early members. I found it at the Mennonite Hist Soc. Library in Lancaster PA but I am sure some of the NC libraries might have a copy. What names are you researching? I will look at my Earhart material and see if they are mentioned since this church group seemed to travel together. I found the same names in PA and in NC, then in TN where many of them went after the Rev. Write me privately if you would like. By the way, this Earhart family is not the same as the Earnharts in Rowan Co. I checked that out a long time ago. Betty Silfies

Besides the McCubbins Collection, the Rowan County Library has family files that various people have contributed (most are matched to the McCubbins folders). People have contributed related information, including some descendant trees and copies or transcriptions of documents. Elaine Oakes

The McCubbins Collection has been filmed by the Mormons (LDS) and can be rented at a local family history center. There is also an index to the names. One interested thing is that someone in the Rowan history library went to the trouble to cross reference the material. I am making this up, but for instance if you looked up the film for Smith, there would be a card that tells you to also see Earnhart, Pace (and perhaps a long list). Thus you would want to order all of those films. I found the films very very useful, despite the confusing aspects. On one of my lines it is about the only material that I have found.

She collected information on all the families of Rowan County, NC - not just her own. This information was on sheets of paper, some typed, some hand written, front & back. On half pieces and torn pieces of paper - anything apparently she could get her hands on. There is sometimes several families on one page. This is housed in family file folders at the Rowan County library in Salisbury, NC. They have put the information in family folders by family name, making copies of pages that have more than one family on a page so that each family file has the information. It is not in any order, the data contains land deed records, marriage records, birth records, random family information, you name it....it takes some hunting to find things on your family and sometimes, often it is not what you are looking for but usually you find something equally interesting that you didn't know would be there. She had been planning to write a book and died before completing her work. It is a treasure but a treasure that requires a hunt...however often well worth it. The families included are all at one time residents of Rowan County - both early Rowan before the counties branched off and present day Rowan.

Just to add to this informative message, the Moravian archives can be found online and you can request a search of the records online as well. My family was English but several married Moravians, some converted to this faith while others just had their children baptized by Moravians. The Moravians were very happy to welcome non members to their church services and baptized children who were of other faiths. Thus my non-Moravian family has many entries in Adelaide Fries' multivolume book set, plus you might discover that some of your non-Moravian family married Moravians; if so there will be many records of that family.

If they were actual members of the Moravian church the records kept by the church in the Archives at Salem (here in Winston-Salem, NC) are very thorough and wonderful. The Moravians, good Germans as they were, recorded everything meticulously. Richard Starbuck at the Moravian Archives can be contacted and hired to look for your ancestors in the records. However, if they only lived in or near the Moravian communities they won't be in the records unless they had children baptised by the Moravians (as my ancestors who were not Moravian did) or if they were visited by Rev. Soelle a traveling Moravian minister who ministered to the outlying communities to the Non-Moravians, making converts and keeping a dairy of everything he did, day by day. These diaries have been preserved and translated into English by Adelaide Fries and are in a ten volume book form at the Forsyth County library in the NC Room (the genealogy room) and also are at the Moravian Archives and probably at the Rowan County library in Salisbury and perhaps other places as well.

Okay, now that I have had the chance to read about the history of the Wachovia settlement, I have another question. What kind of records did these people keep of their members? Has anyone traced their people with church records? Am I correct in thinking them a kind of Anabaptist (not baptizing infants)? Would they have membership records that are now available to researchers? Thanks! Rose Green researching WELKER, FLETCHER

The Christen Welker name seems familiar, but I haven't been able to find any Welkers other than Daniel. I may have not added it to my computer database or may have not have copied the info from the source. If a name may have evolved into a Walker spelling, then I probably copied it, but if it seemed to stay true to the origin spelling I probably would have ignored it. -----Original Message----- From: Rose Green [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 2:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [RowanRoots] Wachovia settlement Sheila, I can certainly give you more info.

Can anyone tell me how extensive and what are the contents of the McCubbin Collection? Where is it located? Does it have family info, if so what families.. southern, or ??? Thanks for your helps! Ellie S.

The original McCubbins Collection was microfilmed in 1956, and available on 76 microfilm through any Family History Center. They deal with about 8000 surnames and over 150,000 different pages of information. There are files for different surnames, but also check the "index" which will list other files which contain significant amounts of information regarding that surname. [FHL microfilm 0,19,828, 0,019,829 and 0,19,829] There have been items added to the collection since that time. The collection is at the Rowan Public Library in Salisbury. Records that she abstracted would be from Rowan County, but depending on the file/surname may also (and often) include abstracts of records from just about any county formed from Rowan County. The information is raw data, typically abstracts of deeds, wills, marriages, and court records. Also included there will sometimes be Bible records (as there is for one of my families), cemetery records, interviews with people, correspondence, DAR lineages, etc. Rick Saunders http://genealogypro.com/fsaunders.html -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Thanks for all of the information about the Wachovia Settlement. I found it fascinating and would love to hear more. My husband's relatives came directly from Germany to the Moravian Settlement of West Salem, Illinois between 1853 and 1868. However, many of the residents of West Salem have their Moravian roots in North Carolina. West Salem is now the only Moravian Settlement in Illinois. It was founded by the Reverend Martin Houser, who was from North Carolina. He first founded the settlement of Hope, Indiana, before founding settlements in Illinois. You may be interested in knowing that one branch of my husband's family practiced the Lutheran State religion on Sunday, but were secretly attending Moravian services during the week when they lived in Germany.

Hi, My ancestor is JOHN FLETCHER PACE (1844-1901Rowan Co., NC) and I have searched a little on the Fletcher surname, but without any conclusions, except that Rowan Co didn't seem to have any at the time of my ancestor's birth. Eventually I found that his mother's REID family also had a middle name of Fletcher in one of the sons--1820a. That explains how the name Fletcher came into the Paces, who originated in Guilford Co., NC as did the REIDS. Maybe if you searcher for Fletcher in Guilford you would find something.
