Karen, I have one page from the book that a Mr. Norwood from Bynum, NC sent to me when he miraculously solved all of my problems. Jorial I's parents both died when he was a small child, so finding his parents through the census was impossible. I was corresponding with a Doctor in another state and he suggested I write to Mr. Norwood who lives in the same area Luke Bynum lived. I received a return letter saying that YES he could help me, his great grandparents, the Sipes had raised Jorial after his parents died. Mrs. Sipes was a sister of Amelia (Milly) Farrar and it was in her will that he should be reared by her sister. He sent me copies of their wills , etc. See there list members, don't ever give up, some day you may just "fall into it!" Karen, I would like to have anything that you would care to share about this family.
