Hello List, Time to post a new query. Am trying to pin down my Graham/Grimes line. I find them in Surry Co. and believe they may have come from Rowan. The first names are James, John, Jehu, Richard and William. These names show up in Rowan. I have the earliest microfilm of Rowan Co. court records (that are almost impossible to read) but so far, have found no one that fits my group in Surry. The Pennington's in Rowan don't seem to be my Pennington (Isaac) however, there are so many Isaac's that it is hard to tell <g> Does anyone on this list have Graham, Pennington connections? Thanks, Sue

I think this might possibly relate to some of the CASPER families that have been posted to the list recently. My research area is LEMLY/LEMLEY but would like to know how any of these might intermingle. We have not been able to "prove" that the George LEMLEY named below was the same George LEMLEY who lived in Rowan Co. and m. Catherine LINBARIER in 1805. If this is the CASPER family from Rowan, then perhaps they were neighbors, friends, etc., who travelled together? Would appreciate any info. Thanks, Belinda Rodgers NC Deed: Anthony LINGLE & Peter CASPER & wife, Esther (X) to GEORGE LEMLEY, elder, & Jacob LINGLE & Peter SIFFORD, deacons, of the Lutheran and Ref. Pres.

Hi Again I see that my previous message cut off. So I will try again. The John Berger below was the son of George H Berger/Barger and Catherine ___ Casper. It is believed that Catherine was his 2nd wife. His first wife believed to be Barbara Eddleman but DAR says "unproven" You can find George H Berger/Barger's Will at the usgenweb "archives" for Rowan Co, NC. If you need the url, just let me know.

"Hello again Cousins!" Am finally to the point that I'm willing to stick my next out and state that James WATSON's wife was indeed far more likely being Jean CRAIG, sibling in "Our CRAIG Family," than Jean HOUSTON. Name: James WATSON Sex: M Birth: 1738 Place: ,Franklin,PA Chr: Place: Marr: Spouse: Jean CRAIG-1512 Marr: Spouse: Marr: Spouse: Death: 5 Dec 1802 Place: ,York,SC Burial: Place: ,York,SC Father: David WATSON-64181 Mother: Hannah-64628 Notes---------------------------------------------------------------- Of York Co., SC. Died in his 64th year. Buried Beerseba Cemetery. My primary reasons for so believing are not founded solely on the applications of four ladies who joined the D. A. R. between 1900 and 1950, stating that relatives had Bible records indicating that she was Jean CRAIG. 1. Samuel CRAIG was a signatory to the estate of Gilbert WATSON. 2. WATSON families went to the same area of western KY, that Margaret (CRAIG) WATSON KIRKPATRICK DODDS' descendants were to go, and if not at the exact same time, not far removed from same. 3. Gilbert WATSON went to Madison Co., IL, by 1820, at likely the same time as did Robert CRAIG, brother of my family's John CRAIG. 4. WATSON family descendants went to Pike Co., MO, by 1816, at likely the same time as did John BRYSON, husband of Elizabeth CRAIG, sister of my family's John CRAIG. 5. Some of Margaret (CRAIG) WATSON KIRKPATRICK DODDS' descendants would also go to Pike Co., MO, at a later date, and intermarry with WATSON family descendants. 6. Have come across but a single researcher who backs the Jean HOUSTON attribution of the Joe HART Genealogical Collection, and she has stated that she has not tried to follow up on the Rowan Co., NC, estate to verify Joe HART's attribution. 7. Have yet to come across a single WATSON family researcher of the Rowan Co., NC, WATSON families who claims that James WATSON of York Dist., SC, was ever in Rowan Co., or knows of any Rowan Co., NC, WATSON family in that time frame who was to go to York Dist., SC. 8. Have yet to come across a single HOUSTON / HUSTON family researcher who knows anything substantive of this, and only one to date that had even heard of this "controversy". 9. In so far as naming patterns for descendant families, I am not aware of any first or second born descendant, whose birth order and middle name having been HUSTON or HOUSTON, would best suggest that Jean, wife of James WATSON, was a HOUSTON. To this end, I contend that it might be just as easy to build a case for either Hannah, wife of David WATSON, to have been Hannah HOUSTON, or for (Martha?), likely mother of "Our CRAIG Family" to have been a Martha HOUSTON. Item: James Houston WATSON, b 1792, was either the second or third known child born to David WATSON and Mary McCORD. Might Mary McCORD have been a HOUSTON family descendant? Item: Levina Houston WATSON, b 1799, was second known child born to John WATSON and Margaret BYERS, but logic would suggest to me that if she were being named for her grandmother, she would have likely been named Jean Houston WATSON. Might Margaret BYERS have been a HOUSTON descendant? Item: David Huston HEMPHILL, b 1810, was the fifth known child born to Robert HEMPHILL and Ann WATSON. Item: David Huston HEMPHILL, b 1830, was the third known child of Alexander HEMPHILL and Margaret WILSON. 10. As the researcher who volunteered to go to the Rowan County, NC, court house and try to locate a probate packet for Mary (MORRISON) HOUSTON, failed to find one, I really don't know whether none exists, or whether only that he failed to locate same. To this end, I am now prepared to: 1. Try to obtain photocopies of any and all documentation for all four D. A. R. applications stating that she was Jean CRAIG. 2. Try to make contact the D. A. R. chapters where those ladies' applications were processed to see if the local D. A. R. chapter might possibly have something in their chapter libraries to help provide clarity to this situation. Please shoot me down, if you have come across anything, or might know of anyone who has provided a single shred of evidence contributing to the possibility that she was Jean HOUSTON, other than the assertion of the Joe HART Genealogical Collection, and the previously mentioned occurrences of Huston or Houston as a middle name. Still keeping my fingers crossed that someone, a far better family researcher than I, might have discovered something far more substantive than the case that I've laid out above. If I were fortunate enough to know as much about WATSON and HOUSTON families, as I know about CRAIG family, perhaps there could be an even better case built for Jean being Jean CRAIG, or Jean HOUSTON, but for now, my money is on James WATSON's wife being Jean CRAIG, sister to the other siblings in "Our CRAIG Family!" Will go to the corner of the room and hide should any of you be able to shoot down every single point that I've laid out above! <G> TTYL Craig "Always looking for Cousins!"

Hello: I have had many postings on many lists for above referenced information. Some have been irritated, Some have been interested, some had never heard of it, and many have offerred me much good information. Many have asked me to post what I find out.This posting is in response to those requests that I post My info. The U S Congress, in May of 1790, proclaimed the territory formerly claimed by North Carolina, That area which is today known as all of Tennessee, Northern Ga, Northern Alabama, and all of Mississippi, as THE TERRITORY OF US SOUTH OF THE RIVER OHIO. aka SOUTHWEST TERRITORY. The Rangers were formed in 1790, and served until 1796, when Tennessee became a state. At that time, the remainder became the TERRITORY of MISSISSIPPI The Rangers were apparently an organization which patrolled, and generally made themselves "useful". Apparently simular to a State Militia. This is all that I have found out at this time. I have received many helpful hints, and suggestions. For these I am very grateful. I am still looking for definite information on George NUTTERFIELD, who enlisted in Lt Walkers company of Rangers in 1792. I have received information from a lady who has a book on the Rangers, and does show George listed. I will keep you updated. Dick CarterDick Carter rcar37@prodigy.net

Hi List, Does anyone have Michael Murr in their lines? MICHAEL MURR b. 1740 in Germany, poss. son of Hans Jerg Murr who came to PA in 1750 from Rotterdam, Holland, d. 1785-90 in Rowan CO. NC. He married SUSANNAH KINDER in the 1760s in Rowan CO. NO. Thanks, Nancy Helvey

I have two deed entries for a Joshua Sikes that read: (1) Deed Bk 6, page 175, 20 Oct 1778, Edward Brown gave 3 acres on the east side of great Coheary to the Baptist Church. Joshua Sikes' name appears at the bottom. This is in Sampson Co. deed but I'm told it's a part of Rowan Co. now. (2) Deed Bk 8, page 264, 22 Mar 1788, William Murphrey gave 2 acres on the west side of Revels Marsh to Joshua Sikes, Sr., Trustee of the Marsh Branch Meeting House. Are either of these two churches still in existence? If they are, does anyone have addresses where I could write and have the church records searched for Joshua's family? Any help would be greatly appreciated. K.C. Thacker

Hmmm, Dick, I'm pretty sure Ranger Walker is down in Texas.... ;-);-) (sorry, just couldn't resist that one. <Grin>) I'm honestly don't know aobut the Davidson Co Rangers of the Lieut Walkers Rangers.

Does anyone know who or what The Davidson County Rangers were. Does anyone know who and what Lieut Walkers Rangers were. Both are shown as for The territory South of The Ohio, so Iassume they were a band of Peace keepers or Indian Fighters due the time period. I am seeking information on a George NUTTERFIELD who signed on as a private in 1792. Where were they formed? Where did they recruit. I do know that George settled in Shelby Co, Ky as early as 1790. I am seeking any information. George is shown on FTM records as Revolutionary War 1780-1789, but, the only record I have, so far is with the 2 above units. I asume that the Davidson County referred is Davidson County Tn, as I dont know of another at that time. Or, it could have been the home of Lt Walker. I have tried Ky archives and Nashville archives, But, my experience is very Limited on records like these, so I probably didnt do it right.I have been seeking info on George for about 30 years, so, naturally, I would be thrilled and appreciative for any info.George is also shown as George NUTTERFEE/NUTTER, on various records, and married Nancy Stepp McWilliams June 1804 in Shelby Co Ky.
