Hi. I live in NC & am having difficulty finding information on the Derieux or Derrieux family that lived in Monroe County from about 1790 to at least 1850's. My ggggrandmother, Mariah Agness Derieux, married Joshua Hall 11/27/1831 in Monroe County. They lived there the rest of their lives. Mariah (also seen sometimes as Marie Davis Hall) was a lifelong member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South of Union (?)...does that church still exist? I cannot find anything on Joshua or Mariah's parents or siblings. Their children were George W., Lewis Caperton m. Nancy Ellen Fisher, Samuel Robert m. Serena A. Mitchell, Augustus C., Charles Matthew m. Sarah Bostic, Mary, John Allen, William Maston m. Delilah Taylor and Mary Agnes Murdock, Fannie Catherine m. Abel Alexander Taylor, Sidney, James Oliver m. Harriet Harvey and Mary Etta Comer, & Jane C. Lewis is my gggrandfather; Lewis' son Thomas Alexander Hall (m. Sallie Ann Taylor, d/o James N. Bowyer & Mary Catherine Taylor) is my ggrandfather. Their homeplaces were on the Knobs outside Union. I have a marriage bond for Henry Thomas Jefferson Derieux who married Sarah Taylor in Monroe County 12/15/1817 (she died shortly after & he went to TN) signed by Henry Derieux & John Hull. There was a William H. Derieux who was a tailor in Union around 1830; he married Elleanor Morgan, d/o Benjamin Morgan and Anne Ellis. Their son, William P.H. Derieux (also a tailor), married Virginia Green Pegram, d/o John W. & Fannie Pegram approx. 10/26/1856. I have also seen references to Lewis Derrieux, Civil War soldier, and Frank Derieux in Morten's, "History of Monroe County." If anyone can provide any additional information on Derieux/Derrieux or Joshua & Mariah Hall's parents/siblings, I would be grateful. This has become a true brick wall! Thanks, Drema
