Can someone on the list give me information on Isaac Rich (died 1787) and his wife Margaret of Rowan/Davie Co., NC? Isaac's will named his wife Margaret and three children John, Ann, and Sarah. Isaac is buried in the Eaton's Church Cemetery in present-day Davie Co., NC. This is what I need: 1) Isaac and especially Margaret's approximate birth date 2) Margaret's death date, place of death, and place of burial 3) Margaret's second marriage if she had one after Isaac died 4) Any deed transactions, estate settlement records, or Power of Attorney records filed in Rowan Co. when Margaret died Isaac and Margaret's daughter Sarah and her husband John Bowlby Palmer came to Franklin Co., TN in the early 1820s. John B. Palmer's tombstone is one of the two oldest tombstones in the Walnut Grove Methodist Church Cemetery in Franklin Co., TN. John B. Palmer had come to Franklin County with his daughter Margaret Palmer Weddington and her husband Eli Bradshaw Weddington, who were married in Rowan Co., NC on May 16, 1815. Eli B. Weddington purchased land not far from the Walnut Grove Methodist Church Cemetery in 1822 in FCT. None of these people were listed in the 1820 Franklin Co., TN census. These are the inscriptions on the two oldest tombstones (placed next to each other) in the Walnut Grove Methodist Church Cemetery and the wording on these two stones is unique to them only (no others around them have this style wording): John B. Palmer who departed this life Oct 1825 Aged 54 years [born 1771] In memory of Margaret Pennington who departed this life May 1825 Aged 69 years [born 1756] John Bowlby Palmer made his will June 30, 1825 in Franklin Co., TN. In it he named his wife Sarah and three daughters Margaret Weddington, Eliza Palmer, and Hannah Weddington, his grandson John P. Weddington, and his granddaughter Sarah R. Weddington. Hopefully, someone on the RowanRoots-list will be able to help me find who Margaret Pennington Was. Thank you. Joy Q. Gallagher Winchester, Franklin Co., TN

Hi all, This is my first time posting to this list. I would appreciate hearing from anyone researching McPETERS and McDOWELL. Specifically, I have the Jonathan McPeters line in Morgan County TN, born 1801 in NC, son of Joseph McPETERS and Unknown RUSS. Joseph was the son of Charles McPETERS and Mary McDOWELL, born 1856 in NC. I will be happy to exchange the information I have and would love to hear yours! Thank you, Georgeanne

They lived in Iowa probaby until about 1890 and then appear on the 1910 census for Spencer NC on Godhin or Yodkin St. between Fifth and Sixth St. (married 38 years at the time.) They apparently had 8 children but only 3 were alive in 1910. On the 1920 census, Duncan STEWART is 70 years old and living with his son Andrew STEWART b. in Iowa in 1885 and Andrew's wife Fannie (Duncan's wife must have died between 1910 and 1920) living on Gredell St. in Spencer NC. In 1938 on the death of my grandfather, Duncan STEWART was included in the obituary as if he was still alive, making him 88 years old. However this is far from conclusive information. On the 1920 census, I found another offspring of Duncan, Bessie (Stewart) ALLWELL, b.1879 in Iowa married to Harris ALLWELL on Gredell St. in Spencer NC The men of the family all worked for the railway co. Southern Railroad ? in Spencer, probably from the time the shops opened there, as machinists. I even saw a book on Rowan Co. with a picture of workers, not identified, and a chap in the front row sitting looked very much like my grandfather and could easily be my great uncle. Are their directories available for that area of NC that indicate workers, address, occupation? I have seen these for other areas but have not been able to identify if North Carolina has such directories. Are the newspaper obituaries for the area archived in any way, indexed in any way? I wish to get death certificates for Duncan, his wife Francis and his son Andrew. Could you advise me how to proceed? I have downloaded the form for more recent deaths from the vital statistics site, but I understand the earlier ones are archived and I have to send for them separately with a fee of $8 for each search. I have my request all ready to go, but I am so unclear as to the death dates of these 3 target people that it may be beyond the scope of workers in the records office to pin down. I hope to visit Spencer at some point and find the grave sites for the 3 target people. Our family has been putting markers on unmarked graves for the older family members, as a project. We hope to confirm that the 3 people Duncan, wife Francis and son Andrew are suitably identified. My grandfather Andrew was an inventor as well and we have a working model 1 foot high of a steam engine prototype he developed in about 1890. He came from Scotland to Spencer in about 1910 to find work and ending up staying in North America as well. The model engine may be of some interest to the museum of the Spencer area. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Gloria Beek nee Stewart St. Petersburg FL --part1_ca.ca7514cb.25ad5be6_boundary--

I am searching for info on the following: Phillip Sechrist born 1790 in Rowan county NC married Mary Sullivan 6-10-1815 in Rowan county NC. Information on Mary is that she was born in 1797 in NC. In looking at the census for 1790 in Rowan county I find a Jacob Secrist and a Frederick Secrist. Does anyone have any info on either of these men as I am trying to determine the parents of Phillip. Thanks in advance Debbie Debra Carter tara37@comsys.net

Is anyone researching the BILES line, esp as associated with PARKER? I show Elizbeth Parker, daur of Richard Parker and first wife Mary HARRIS as having married Daniel BILES before 1830. (reference to daur Elizabeth BILES per Richard Parker's undrecorded will of 1830). However, I've heard from a Biles research who cites the book, "Biles-Byles Family: How Green Was Our Valley", by Bryan Biles, published 1969, in which the author asserts a Col Jesiah (poss. Josiah) Parker as father of Daniel Biles' wife, Elizabeth Parker. Apparently, Bryan Biles shows Daniel Biles' marriage to Elizbeth as 16 May 1814. He shows Daniel marrying (2nd) 4 Sept 1865, place not stated, to Christina E. (Shaver) Kirk. Is anyone familiar with this research? Does anyone else show the marriage of Elizabeth PARKER and Daniel BILES? If so, do you show the parents of Elizabeth PARKER? Is anyone familiar with a Col. Jesiah/Josiah Parker? Who was he? He does not seem to be associated with the Richard Parker line...at least not that I'm aware. Thanks, Sandy teylu@home.com >
