Another laminating response. This thread was initially about color photos, fading or not. Documents have been discussed at some length and all of it applies to photos printed as black and white on acid free paper (as previously stated in this thread). The reason for printing multiple copies and distributing them is for permanence. As is noted below the technology changes, how many of us can still play an 8 track tape cartridge? If we get sidetracked and forget, or die and our families aren't as committed as we are, the files may be lost or unretrievable. The ones printed on paper should be useable 50 - 100 years from now, with luck even longer. -----Original Message----- From: rosejohn@swbell.net [mailto:rosejohn@swbell.net] Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2000 12:40 PM To: Gene Sears Subject: Re: [RowanRoots] FW: Preservation of documents...

Yes, The Genealogical Society of Rowan Co has published 10 volumes of transcriptions of markers from Rowan's cemeteries. They're hardcover and range in cost from $19 to $20 each, although the Rowan Co Library in Salisbury has copies, and so do other large libraries and state archives. Go here for details of the volumes, including which cemeteries are covered in which volume (print is small, so you'll have to squint <g>): http://www.lib.co.rowan.nc.us/HistoryRoom/html/publications.htm Hope this helps, Sandy teylu@home.com ======================== "Doug Park - Descendant of Park Pioneer Settlers in VA/WV, NC and KY" wrote: > > Fellow Rowan Listers, > > Could someone please tell me what books are out there that detail the > cemeteries in Rowan/Davidson Counties?

Hi Opps, sorry small world, but I am going to have to claim Maria Salome Grimes from my Grimes family. Salome was b 27 Jan 1753 Berks Co, PA bur: St Johns Luth Ch Cem Catawba Co, NC m 21 Mar 1775 Jacob Bolich b 1751 s/o Johan Adam and Anna Christina Bolich. Salome was the daughter of Jacob Greim (Grimes) and Christina Cordula Grimes. Jacob arrived in Phila 25 Oct 1740 aboard the ship Loyal Judith along with his father Valentine b 1690. They came from the village of Unkenbach Germany. We have Grimes mixing with a Frederick Miller over on Abbotts Creek but don't know if this is the same Miller family which can be found with the Bolich family. I'll ck your website thanks much.

re: lamination. I have some old photos that someone scanned, printed via inkjet or laser, and laminated. They look nice and appear fairly indestructible.

I have been following a list discussion on this and haven't seen the following mentioned. I know, that doesn't mean it hasn't been. If you have, or have access to a scanner consider this. 1- Pick out the color photos in your, or your families collection you believe will be most memorable and useful at some point in the future. This is why you should require a group photo at each family gathering. 2- Scan them as black and white photos, make sure you have extra white space at the top or bottom of each. Use at least 300 dpi resolution, more than 600 is probably a waste of time and disk space. If you arrange the photos in groups on the scanner (remember the white space) it will be easier to print them later. 3- Annotate each one in the white space with names, date, location, what is important about the photo, and last but not least who you are. The scanner software should have this capability, if it doesn't, I know that the Visioneer software does. 4- Print them on acid free paper, use a laser printer if possible, but don't give this up as a project if you don't have a laser printer. Print at least 2 copies of each. Give a set to one or more other family members who understands and agrees with the importance of your project (also consider whether they live in a flood plain or not). Other notes: ** Laser printed documents can often be recovered if wet, bubble or ink jet printed documents are near impossible to recover. ** If you have high quality, small photos that you would like to have a larger copy of, you can use MS Photo Editor and some other varieties of graphics viewing or editing software to print an image of any size as a full or near full page. The reference to "high quality" is significant, a fuzzy or indistinct small photo makes an even more fuzzy or indistinct large photo. In this case 600 -1200 dpi scanning resolution is appropriate. Glossy finished photos give the best scanning and printing results. ** I know that you can buy special paper to print photos on using bubble/ink jet printers. I didn't mention it above because I don't know anything about its service life. ** If your scanner uses a sheet feeder the grouping might be too difficult to do. There is software that you can use to create groups with after the image has been scanned and saved, but none that I know of is cheaper than a scanner. ** All the scanner software that I know of will (and encourages you) let you create something of a library of images. This is very convenient, but I experienced a problem with a particular piece of it and was unable to access any of the scanned images. After that I first save them as a .JPG file, then delete the image from the scanner library (otherwise it would take up disk space twice). If I wish, I can pull them back into the scanner library. Since I also back them up to CD or other disk, they would now survive a disk failure. ** If your interest is only in documents and you are still reading, all of the above applies except use the black and white document setting instead of the photo (AKA gray scale) setting. I'm sure I forgot something, but this ought to get you started if you're interested. Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated. I will be glad to share any relevant information. Thanks, Gene Sears

I'm researching the Pittman's and Morgan's in Rowan Co from mid 1700's-1816 when Micajah Pittman, Sr and Lydia Morgan & family migrated to KY. Also resarching the ancestry of Sally Jones of Mecklenburg Co who m. Michael Pittman.

The below 1850 census for Montgomery Co NC shows, I believe, my DAVID POOL, age 40, and family. Closeby are other Pools that I believe are related in some sense. The first names of "Martin" and "Hartwell" are names repeated in later generations of this Pool family in Salisbury NC (Rowan). DAVID POOL will later move (by 1860) to Rowan Co. NC where he raised another family with ANGELINE BULLEN/BULLAN/BULLARD--they may or may not have been married as I can find no record of the wedding. Angeline did inherit his Rowan property at his death in 1867. Their children were: Isabel, Clayton, Abraham, Mary L. Angeline did use the surname Pool in the 1880 census. This DAVID POOL was the father of my ggrandfather, CLAYTON W. POOLE (1848-1908), married to SUSAN ISABELLA JULIAN (1854-1908)--Their children were Walter W. (b.1873)., George Grayson(b.1870), Hartwell/Harton (b.1883), Roxanne Olivia, and Mary Ann (b.1879, m. to CHARLES W. PACE SR of Salisbury.) Family tradition says that these Pools were descended from JACOB VAN POOL, the Dutchman, of old Rowan around 1759. However, I have been unable to establish a line of links to Jacob as I do not know the parents of DAVID POOL. I would love to contact any descendants of the below family from the 1850 Montomery Co NC census. Who was the Susan shown as David's wife in 1850 Montgomery NC? 289/291 Pool, David age 40 male farmer $300 born NC Pool, Susan age 40 female born NC (checked for idiotic,deaf,dumb,insane etc) Pool,Patience age 17 female born NC Pool, Colwell L. age 15 male laborer born NC Pool, Elizabeth age 13 female born NC Pool,Martin age 11 male born NC Pool, Jonathan age 10 male born NC Pool, Martha J. age 7 female born NC Pool, David W. age 5 male born NC Pool, Williamson age 3 male born NC Pool, James T. age 1 male born NC 293/295 Pool, Miles age 38 male farmer $200 born NC Pool, Charlotte age 34 female born NC Pool, Atlas J. age 12 male born NC Pool, L.

this is an update to the email I wrote a couple of weeks ago about John Smith buying land on Bear Creek. I found the deed where he bought the land. in Abstracts of deed Books 20-24 Rowan County 1807-1818 by James W. Kluttz. it states Page 667 Feb. 23 1815 David Tutorow to John Smith of Randolph County NC for $300 70 and 1/2 acres on Bear Creek adj. Alexander Smoot and Boser Totro. Witness John Little Jr. and Henry Helper. prvd by Little at May Ct 1818. the second one is Page 668 Feb 23 1815 David Tuttorw to John Smith of Randolph Co. NC for $200 50 A on Bear Creek adj. David Tutorow Bolser Tuorow {formerly} and James McGuire. Witness John Little Jr. Henry Helper proved by Little May Ct 1818. and this is how David Tuttorow got the land p 671 March 12 1813 Jacob Tutro and Prudence Tutro to David Tutro and Ruthy Tutro for 100pounds 20 1/2 acres on Bear Creek adj Alexander Smoot and Bolser Tutro. It was part of a Granville Grant to Squire Boone. witness John Little Jr. and Henry Hepler. Prvd by Little at May Ct 1818. The other parcel P. 35\6 June 8 1803 Richard Leach to David Tutterow for 75 pounds 50 A on Bear Creek adj this grantee and James McGuire wintess Harman Husbands Prvd by :Husbands at Aug Ct 1804 in the deed that John Smith gave the land to the church it mentioned he got the land from Henry Helfer. No where does it ever say in these Deed books that Henry Helfer sold land to John Smith so it must be an error. Karen Hunter

Ok, I have 3 hits in my database on the RIDDLE and McCORKLE surnames. Here is what I have (from second hand sources but I think fairly reliable): Mary Ann RIDDLE married Robert MARKLAND in Rowan County, NC before 1774. My informant also shows that Mary Ann had a brother, John RIDDLE, who married Mary ? and died 10/12/1820. Children of John & Mary were: Stephen, William, Anny, Penelope, & Polly. I have no further information beyond Anny married Leonard McBRIDE. As far as McCORKLE, I have a James McCORKLE marrying Priscilla MARKLAND 2/1/1804 in Boone County, KY. Priscilla's birthdate is circa 1773. No further information on her or he. I am CC'ing this to the Rowan County list in case there are some other searchers out there for RIDDLE/MARKLAND/McCORKLE. Best of wishes all, Billy Markland bjmarkland@aol.com
