Haven't been on the computer much since Gretchen Died. Can't seem to get my thoughts together.

The Stokes-Rockingham Counties Geneakogy Assotion have two swap meets a year and it is very well attended. People come fom all surrounding counties and bring their research and we have three copiers and they stay busy.

My next door neighbor was a Winfred (Winnie) Allred. Her two sons with the Allred surname were George and Douglas. Thee were three daughters that went by different lasst names.

I knew all of them but at the present time cannot get my thoughts togetner. At the time I was born they were living in the Town of Mayodan, Rockingham County, North Carolina. Will try to find my file about what little I have on them. I knew all of them personally even though I was younger than any of them. There is still one of George's daughters still living in this area. Now George had a son named Charles Jefferson Allred that died about five years ago.

To anyone doing research back in time. Particularly in counties of any state that are near the state boundaries. The state lines may have changed over time. Also, one state may have counties that have same names as a neighboring State. I do not know the exact year but, the state line between Virginia and West Virginia changed. So a person born in a VA location back could now find those records in WV. My husband and I have property and family on the Summers County/Mercer County line. Therefore do alot of research in the area. Unfortunately I do not live in the State. Always check your time lines and state lines. The person may not ever have moved from the house of his/her birth but "address change occurred" which will effect your census lookups. Genealogy-a never ending puzzle B.J.

His Fathers headstone indicates he died 1913, I'm gues! sing February 1913, as this was the time of the trouble during the Coal strikes. It is rumoured that Mr Allred was an Orphan from Georgia, possibly South West Georgia and that Allred may not have been his real name. It is also rumoured that he died amidst some sort of violence, and that he was shot by the Sheriff, who would have been Shields SF Harman in those days,but these things are just that: rumours Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Do you have anything else about Wanda's grandparents (Barbara and Cephus Lawrence) since you are her cousin? I would love to get more information on the family of David Cline as that is a dead-end too. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I know very little of the man. I had a lead on a Willie Vince Wilson born 1871. (Note the names Willie and Vince) His parents were John Wilson and Elizabeth. At the time of the 1880 census he had 5 siblings Sarah (11), Freeman (7), Rhonda M. (5), Thomas( 2) and Jennie (1) but I have no confirmation that this is the same person that was Floyd Vince and Willie Sue's father. My Grandfather Floyd (Vince) was 2 when George married Alice. By all accounts George adopted him and his sister Willie Sue. I'm not sure if the adoption was of the legal nature or not. In the 1900 census Floyd and Willie Sue are listed as son and daughter not step. Two other children are listed Lillie M. and Willis E. Willis was killed in a train accident which Floyd was witness to and felt responsible for, they were 14 and 17 respectively.
