    1. [RowanRoots] North Carolina information ?
    2. Greetings to the List, and to many cousins, I'm sure... I descend from Alexander WILLIS and Elizabeth ROUGH, who were, reportedly, married in Davidson County, NC, on December 4, 1840. Alexander WILLIS was the son of James WILLIS, b. 1786, Rowan Co., NC, and Martha Patsy COATS, b. abt 1782, in NC. I do not know the Christian name of Elizabeth ROUGH's father but her mother may have been Mary C. KEPLEY. Is there any record of a ROUGH-KEPLEY marriage around 1760? Is anyone researching the ROUGH family? Is ROUGH pronounced about the same as RAUCH ? Sort of like ROW/HOW/NOW? Are there any KEPLEYs in NC? TIA for any help!

    1. [RowanRoots] THE TEACHER - BLESS THEM
    2. The Teacher    After being interviewed by the school administration, the eager  teaching prospect said: "Let me see if I've got this right. You  want me to go into that room with all those kids, and fill their  every waking moment with a love for le arning.    And I'm supposed to instill a sense of pride in their ethnicity,  modify their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse  and even censor their T-shirt messages and dress habits.    You want me to wage a war on drugs and sexually transmitted  diseases, check their backpacks for weapons of mass destruction,  and raise their self esteem.    You want me to teach them patriotism, good citizenship,  sportsmanship, fair play, how to register to vote, how to balance a  checkbook, and how to apply for a job. I am to check their heads  for lice, maintain a safe environment, recognize signs of  antisocial behavior, offer advice, write letters of recommendation  for student employment and scholarships, encourage respect for the  cultural diversity of others, and oh, make sure that I give the  girls in my class fifty percent of my attention.    My contract requires me to work on my own time after school,  evenings and weekends grading papers. Also, I must spend my summer  vacation at my own expense working toward advance certification and  a Masters degree.    And on my own time you want me to attend committee and faculty  meetings, PTA meetings, and participate in staff development  training.    I am to be a paragon of virtue, larger than life, such that my very  presence will awe my students into being obedient and respectful of  authority.    And I am to pledge allegiance to family values and this current  administration. You want me to incorporate technology into the  learning experience, monitor web sites, and relate personally with  each student.    That includes deciding who might be potentially dangerous and/or  liable to commit a crime in school. I am to make sure all students  pass the mandatory state exams, even those who don't come to school  regularly or complete any of their assignments.    Plus, I am to make sure that all of the students with handicaps get  an equal education regardless of the extent of their mental or  physical handicap.    And I am to communicate regularly with the parents by letter,  telephone, newsletter and report card.    All of this I am to do with just a piece of chalk, a computer, a  few books, a bulletin board, a big smile AND on a starting salary  that qualifies my family for food stamps! You want me to do all of  this and yet you expect me. . .     . . . . NOT TO PRAY? Nell Truitt Florida

    1. [RowanRoots] Historical Nautical Charts On-Line & Weather Buoys
    2. I found this a few minutes ago and thought that many would be interested. It is from the National Oceanic & Atmosphere Administration. The main NOAA web site is: www.noaa.gov The link to the charts is under Charting & Navigation from the main page or this URL: http://chartmaker.ncd.noaa.gov/csdl/ctp/abstract.htm Click on Image Catalog to get a Search window. WARNING, many of these files are large and require Mr. Sid to view but, boy, they are nice. By the way, there are other neat things at the main NOAA site also. For those keeping an eye on hurricane Isabelle, here is a site I have used in the past to get an idea of how things are closer to hurricanes. It is the National Data Buoy Center and that URL is: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/ Click on the square you wish to zoom to and it will pull up all the weather buoys in that region. Pretty cool stuff. Have fun, Billy

Betty Pace From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: 12 Sep 2003 22:19:48 -0600 Subject: [NCRowan] John & Eva (Smith) Adams This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Adam/Adams, Hunter, Smith/Schmidt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0VB.2ACI/7235 Message Board Post: Hi - It appears that both John Adam and Maria Eva Schmidt were Palantines imported from Germany. John and Eva were married on Apr 19, 1751 at Moden Creek (now Muddy Creek) in Lancaster, PA. It appears that John arrived at Philadelphia in 1747 (ship Two Brothers), 1748 (ship Hampshire) or 1749 (ship Edinburgh) from Rotterdam. John's name was Johannes Adam. Possibly he made repeated trips bringing family to Pennsylvania. It is not immediately possible to know for sure as only the male passengers are identified. I do not know yet whether John had married Miss Hunter before or after his arrival in Philadelphia. Eva's father Peter Schmidt arrived in Philadelphia in 1732 (ship Johnson Galley of London) from Rotterdam. Peter's name was Johannes Peter Schmidt (Peder Schmitt). On Mar 26, 1734, Peter received a warrant for 100 ac of land in Lancaster Co, PA located between Cocalico and Muddy Creek (near Rte 272 and Muddy Creek Road). Peter Smith appeared in the Bethel Twp tax rolls for 1750 and 1751. For 1756 he is listed as "fled". Because of Indian problems, many of the people in that area "fled". In 1759,there is a Peter Smith listed in the Rowan Co, NC tax rolls. ______________________________

    1. [RowanRoots] Original families from Bethabara being searched for

    3. From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: 8 Sep 2003 14:50:32 -0600 Subject: [NCRowan] Original families from Bethabara being searched for This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0VB.2ACI/7229 Message Board Post: Bethabara Park hopes to find settlers' families In late 1753, 15 Moravians set out from their Pennsylvania settlement in the hopes of establishing another religious community in the western part of the Piedmont. They would call it Wachovia, after the estate of Count Nikolaus von Zinzendorf, who had given the Moravians religious asylum in the town of Herrnhut, Germany. In Wachovia, the men set up the community of Bethabara, meaning "House of Passage," intended to be a temporary center from which to colonize the Wachovia Tract. It was these small beginnings which helped form the bustling town of Salem, now part of Winston-Salem. Almost 250 years later, Bethabara is a historical site to which many pay tribute. It's the site of a restored 1788 Gemeinhaus, the only German colonial church with attached minister's living quarters in the United States. It's also home to a reconstructed 1756 palisade fort - one of only two reconstructed French and Indian War forts in the Southeast and the only one on the original site. With its 250th anniversary approaching, Historic Bethabara Park is planning a celebration, and staff members are inviting the descendants of those early settlers to participate in the festivities. But finding these families is no easy task. Judi Wallace, community relations director for the park, says it would be nice to find descendants of the original 15 who built the community. "(But) people move away," she says. She says the park merely wants to get the word out, realizing that locating family members "is a lot of genealogical work," Wallace says. Fortunately, though, "Moravians always kept meticulous records about family history," she explains. And that's a fact she's banking on, hoping that people will take a look at their family trees and realize their ancestors helped build Winston-Salem to what it is today - a center for medicine, agriculture, industry and education, traits the original 15 settlers brought. Wallace says Bethabara officials are inviting descendants of the blacks and Catawba and Cherokee Indians who helped build the community, too. To help locate these descendants, Bethabara employees are compiling a list of those in "The Stranger's Graveyard," where non-Moravians were buried, and those in the Moravian graveyard as well. Wallace says the celebration, to be held Nov. 15, will include a re-enactment of the last part of the original settlers' trek from Pennsylvania on the Great Wagon Trail. The trail will be dedicated by city officials, followed by the Moravian's first hymn and a proclamation. The park will also provide food and recreation during the event. Guests of the anniversary celebration will be encouraged to participate in games that settlers would have played - such as "town ball," similar to baseball, and lawn bowling. The following day, Nov. 16, guests will have the opportunity to participate in a traditional Moravian "love feast," which consists of a plain sweet bun, and coffee, tea or chocolate, in Wait Chapel at Wake Forest University. Historic Bethabara Park, which opened in 1970, is located at 2147 Bethabara Road. For more information, call 924-8191, or visit the Web site www.bethabarapark.org. Are you related? The following are the family names of the 15 original Moravian settlers of Bethabara: Bernhard Adam Grube, minister from Germany; Jacob Loesch, warden, born in New York; Hermannus Loesch, farmer from Pennsylvania; Hans Martin Kalberlahn, physician born in Norway; Hans Petersen, tailor from Denmark; Christopher Merkly, baker from Germany; Henrich Feldhausen, carpenter from Holstein; Erich Ingebretsen, carpenter from Norway; Jacob Lung, gardener from Germany; Friedrich Jacob Pfeil, tanner from Germany, and Johannes Beroth, farmer from Germany. The following four men came with the first settlers, but returned to Pennsylvania: Johannes Lischer, scout and messenger; Nathaniel Siedel, led the group to Bethabara; Gottlob Konigsdorfer and Joseph Haberland. Some names may have been anglicized. For example, Loesch may be spelled Lash. The park staff is also interested in finding descendants of the families of Henry Banner, Hans Wagner, Adam Spach and Michael Hauser, who were living in the Bethabara area when the Moravians arrived. They hope to find descendants of blacks, Catawbas and Cherokees, who also did much to build early Bethabara. People with any information about descendants of these families are encouraged to call Historic Bethabara Park at (336) 924-8191, or e-mail the information to Michele Gillespie, [email protected] A more complete list of family names is available by fax or e-mail. Call the park and leave your name, fax number, telephone number and/or e-mail address, or stop by the visitors center at Historic Bethabara Park, 2147 Bethabara Road, Winston-Salem.
