Dear Bobbie, The middle name of Wakefield appears about 8 times in my various family lines, most notably in that of my grandfather, Charles Wakefield Pace, Sr., born 1878 in Salisbury, NC. His father was JOHN FLETCHER PACE (b.1844-1901 in Salisbury), and I have never been able to find an explanation for this middle name of Wakefield. I have deduced that there was no family tie to a Wakefield family but perhaps that the Wakefields were influential in Salisbury in the late 1800s. Or else a Civil War friendship since John Fletcher Pace served in the 57th NC Regiment from Salisbury during the Civil War, but I found no Wakefields in that regiment either. He was held captive at Pt. Lookout MD for a period of time and perhaps he knew a Wakefield there that was his friend. My grandfather was his only child and as eldest son the middle name of Wakefield takes on extra significance in his life.

I am so sorry I accidently sent this message to the list. It was certainly not for the entire list. I apologize and will see that this does not happen again. Somehow, my E-mail is getting messed up. Don't know if it is me or what, but I have been getting the same messages, sometimes two or three times. Now I am sending out messages to an individual and it ends up on the list for everyone to read. Oh dear. I apologize again. Nell

Mathias Carpenter was born about 1750-1755 prob in PA. He married Elizabeth Miller in Rowan Cty NC and is found in the Surry Cty 1786 census. They later moved on to Ashe County and lived out their lives. Their daughter, Frances, was b. 1771 and married William Davis. Margaret was b. 1784 and married Jonathan Miller and Jacob was born about 1779. My husband descends from Jacob. I would like to know when Mathis married and who Elizabeth's parents were. I really have only a few dates as years and no actual places for most of these people. Can anyone help? Audrey

Has anyone run into any information as to why a German family from Rowan would have a reason to travel to the Spartanburg SC area (the old 96 district) in the latter 1700's ? Was there a German church there ? A market place ? Some other attraction ? Thanks Don Lail

I am a direct descendant of Joseph CLOUSE and Catherine (Katy) JOHNSON. Their daughter, Jinsey Jane, was my great great great grandmother. According to 1840 NC census, Joseph and Katy may have had one more daughter. She is unaccounted for. Joseph married a second time, and I'm in touch with a descendant of that union. I can send that group sheet on request.

Heinrich or Henry FREY, son of Johann Valentin FREY and Anna Barbara BINKLEY, was probably born about 1751-1752 in Lancaster Co. PA, and probably came to NC around 1765 with his parents, grandfather Hans Peter Frey, and other family members. According to my notes, he died in 1802. His wives were 1) Sarah KLEIN (d. 1776) and 2) Elizabeth MORRIS. So far as I know, he did not have a son named James. He did have a son Henry, who was born in 1792. A Henry Fry married Polly Smith 13 Jun 1804. I can't identify this Henry. He's too old to be the son of Henry/Heinrich above. A Henry Frey appears in the 1784, 1796 and 1798 Rowan County tax lists in the area that later became Davidson County. He is the only Henry Frey or Fry listed in Jo White Linn's compilation of the Rowan County tax records, and there is no James Fry or Frey listed at all. These lists go through 1800, so if James wasn't married yet, he might also not be a landowner subject to tax. >James Fry married Margaret Northern on March 2, 1802, in Rowan Co.

Back Creek was in Asheboro, NC AL of Yadkin Co. NC

Looking for parents of Joshua Repult (1/1/1788 - 12/23/43).... And Ann Marland/Marlin (3/26/1787 - 11/24/1872) .. I believe Ann's father was James Marlin who died 1817. Ann and Joshua married 9/30/1811. Also looking for parents of Hezekiah Gillian/Gillean who married Martha Isabella/Esabella Repult on June 12 1850. Martha is daughter of Joshua and Ann.

Found the following book for sale; Back Creek Friends Cemetery Burial Records, Kirkpatrick. These are Quakers from the Back Creek Monthly Meeting in North Carolina who moved to Indiana in the late 1820s and 1830s, naming their new Meeting the same. Arranged alphabetically. Annotated with information from other sources. (1995), 130pp., softbound. Where is Black Creek? Does anyone have kin from there?

They were married in Davie Co. NC, 7 Mar 1842. The marriage bond was transcribed by Nancy Murphy as Franklin Gaither and Amlia Lovelace. No bondsman, witness etc. is given. They seem to have left Davie County prior to the 1850 census. Elizabeth Harris state coordinator, NCGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncgenweb/

Dear Anna Marie, There is some information on a Nicholaus Miller family in Dr. John Schlenker's article "Henn Mer Der Wendel Muller G'Funne" (Have We Found Wendel Miller?) in the August 1992 issue of the "Rowan County Register". While the dates do not agree with what you have, it may be of interest. Johan Nicholaus Muller was born Feb 6, 1729 in Dorrenbach, Nassau-Saarbrucken, Germany, the son of Johann Michael Muller, born Mar 6, 1696. This Nicholaus was the brother of the Wendel Muller in Rowan County. Nicholaus married Maria Catharine Waldburn in Berks County, PA Apr 9, 1751. Children born there (Lutheran Church Records) weree Michael (1752), Christina (1753), Catherina Elisabetha (1755), Maria Margaretha (1757) and Christian (1759). Nicholaus is last mentioned in Church records there in 1764. A Nicholaus Miller first appears in Rowan County on 1778 tax list together with Wendel Miller, Michael Miller, and other families having roots in Berks County, PA. No evidence is given, though, associating the NC Nicholas Miller with the one in Berks County, PA. It is interesting, though, that Nicholaus Miller purchased land in Rowan County from Wendel Miller on May 4, 1788.

Do you know when his son Christian was born? I have a Christian who married a Veronica and one of their daughters married Mathias Carpenter. The daughter was Elizabeth. Mathias & Elizabeth raised their family in Ashe Co. Sandy

Appreciated the information you sent, however, I'm only more confused. My information says that Nicholaus Miller has 2 sons: Christian (Some of these records you sent match what I have) John (John is listed as only having one child. Susannah--on what you sent) At one time I had a copy of his will but I have misplaced it. John was born May 24, 1771 and moved to Union Co. IL (1816-1818) John married Catherine ????? Maybe Hartlein Catherine was born Sept. 14, 1779 He is listed as having 8 children 1. Susana b: 1801 2. Solomon b: 1802 3. Barbara b. 1803 4. Jacob b. 1805 5.__________ b: 1807 All of these are on the 1818 census 6.__________ b. 1808 7.___________ b: 1810 8. Samuel b: 1811 All would have been born in Rowan Co. N. C. Any more information would be appreciated.
