Jean, I have been researching my Pierce/Pearce line for 12 years, and still can't find the parents of my John Pierce, born 1770-1772 in North Carolina. I would love to go over your Pierce data to see if there is any possible conection or disprove your line from my research. There were many Pierce/Pearce families in North Carolina in the 1700-1800's. Would you please send me your Family Tree Maker Pierce line by e-mail too? I can unzip the file if you zip it. My e-mail is: B-SAVED2@cinci.rr.com Thanks so much, Brenda (Pierce) Adamson

Hello. I too am trying to find information on Viana Sivills my great great (married name Forester)from the S. Norfolk / Currituck NC area. Viana was married to a Forester and had a daughter named Maggie (my great grandmother). I have too hit a dead end and only in speaking with an older relative (Hoggard) found out that Maggie's maiden name was Sivills or some variation.

Any information you have would be appreciated.

Hi - I have an Isaac M Forbes(b 1823) married o Henrieta Smithson. Henrietta was the daughter of Caleb Smithson and Sarah Gregory. Gets complicated because Sarah was second wife. First wife of Caleb was Henrietta "Polly" Forbes. Their only child was William K Smithson.

Not knowing what data you have so far, I'll just throw some stuff out there. I can be contacted at chrele4@yahoo.com if I can be of any further assistance.

Mary Leary, daughter of John T Leary and Lizzie Burgess of Old Trap, Camden, NC Mary was born on 22 Jan 1901 and died 27 Jan 1957. She was married to George Harris Forbes Sr.

1910 census, Shiloh, Camden County NC

Stephen F Forbes 31
Polly Forbes 27
Simmon Forbes 9
Lassell Forbes 6
Silas Forbes 4
George Forbes 1 1/12

1920 census, Shiloh, Camden County shows differnt spellings which is typical of transcriptions.

Stephen Fosbes 41
Pollie D Fosbes 37

Lascell Fosbes 16
Lilas Fosbes 13
George Fosbes 10
Wilson Fosbes 8

Re: Camden County Whaley's

jeancopple — 2009-04-07 02:14:30Z

I'd like to contact you Keith...mail bounced Here's the message I tried to send. Please e-mail me if you can or anyone else might chime in?

Hello Keith,
I'm working with a lady who has Whaley ancestry. I believe her ancestor is Nancy Whaley who married Mark/Mack Brite/Bright. Have you been able to gather enough information about this family to know if their was a Rev. War Veteran on either the Whaley or Williams side? I don't find a likely candidate in the NSDAR files, but think there is a good chance someone served. Also do you know if the lineages back from Charles Culpepper Whaley and Lydia Williams have been proved? Do you know of factual records on Nathaniel or James Whaley or Joshua Williams that might help this lady prove her lineage? She's not computer literate and is not able to travel at this point so if you have something that might help, her, we'd appreciate any help.
Thank you so much for your time.

PS...I appreciate that you explained the Whaley 1850 & 1860 census findings online... I had found Nancy with the family in 1850 but anyone who only read Ancestry.com posting for the family wouldn't include her with the family..it must have been based soley on the 1860 census. J

The couple were from Camden/Currituck Cos. and moved to Ogle Co, IL. Info shows that they had 8 children.

Alice (?Clason, Garrett or Kight) Forbes, 1664-1732 wife of James

rrjh1 — 2009-03-08 18:44:01Z

Hi Jean,

Thanks for posting the info on the Clason name. Yes as we have previously discussed the opinion that James' wife Alice surname was Clason is with out support.
- -
I have a copy of Nora Miller Turman C.G. 24 Jan 1985 report to Willard Forbes. In this report she states,
"There is no way to prove that Alice Clason was the wife of James Forbes and no way to disprove it. Therefore, you are at liberty to clam her so far as I can see."
- -
When Willard and I met we discussed the various potential options for Alice and her back ground. After discussing the options and the documentation facts Willard agreed that there were other possibilities. There was not sufficient info to support the conclusion that Clason was Alice's maiden name.
- -
See Alice's memorial which spells out 3 potential surname explanations at:

The 1850 census showed her name as Belinda
The 1860 census showed it as Malinda

So 2 out of 3 are Belinda

Jacob and Belinda appear to have had 8 children. There is more info on descendants of their children.

Cornelius Sawyer was bc 1852 and married Mary Sawyer bc 1853 on 6 Jan 1876 at the Courthouse township in Camden County. Cornelius' parents were Cornelius & Dilsy Sawyer/ Mary's parents were Lemuel & Peggy Sawyer.
Cornelius Sawyer (the elder) married Dilsey Sawyer 1 Jan 1850, but parents (nor ages) were requested on the marriage bonds at that time.

Samuel B. Jones - Shiloh, Camden

kmcpherson — 2008-06-30 03:13:15Z

I am researching Samuel B. Jones, born ca 1828 in Camden Co. I think he was the son of Stephen and Francis Jones, who are listed in the 1850 census. Samuel married Eliza Ann Berry ca 1860, and had children Willis (m. 1.Lizzie and 2.Lillie Hart), Mary (aka Mollie, m. John Burgess), Elizabeth (Bettie), and William (m. Pearl Evans).

Would like to find death dates and burial places for Samuel and Eliza, plus confirmation of Samuel's parents. I know his mother's name was Francis, as she was living with him in 1880.

I have not heard anything about the book but the Family Research Society has two books on Camden Co. Cemeteries. You can find them here: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ncfrsnnc/
There are two volumes and I see that one is available on CD.

Re: Camden County Cemetery Book

JeanOSchroeder — 2008-06-10 23:40:01Z

Thanks for your suggestion. I looked at those books when I visited the FRS last month. I did not see a third volume. They are a little pricy, two volumes for $90, when you consider you can buy one book on Currituck Co. that covers all cemeteries in the county for $20. I would have bought them if the price had been more reasonable.

Re: Evan FORBES b. abt 1796

JeanOSchroeder — 2009-02-11 20:37:35Z

I have the book you referenced on CD: "Pasquotank County, NC Record of Deeds, 1700-1751". I looked up this deed and he indicates his wife is still living but he does not give her name, first or last. I did a search of the entire CD and there is no mention of a Clason.

The item you referenced on the Camden web site is that person's opinion and does not give a source or any supporting documentation for her name. Alice Clason may well be James Forbes' wife but I would like to see the source. Also, the source that he/they came from Accomack Co.

SIVILLS: Earlier this year(2008) I found I have a paternal Great Grandmother Catherine E. SIVILLS. She was born 1844 and died 1886. Her parents were: Jesse & Martha SIVILLS. She married Joseph H. RODGERS in Currituck County May 6, 1869. They had 6 children that I know of. Joseph & Catherine lived in Princess Anne Co., VA. There seems to be a good deal of activity on SIVILLS and wonder if anyone has anything about Catherine E. Also, in my maternal line, I have a 2nd Great Grandfather, William W. CURLING of Norfolk County, VA. He married a Margaret ROACH in 1835. Any info on any of these folks would be happily received. Will gladly exchange.

I just found http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nccamden/camden.htm
The Welcome to Camden County website DEEDS tab has this prefix for JAMES FORBES and notes the following:

"DEED 23 APRIL 1719: Submitted by: Bob Stokley

James Forbes and his wife, Alice (Clason) Forbes were the first Forbes to settle in what is now Camden County. He migrated there from Accomac County on Virginia's Eastern Shore in 1701. In October, 1715 he received a grant of 532 acres "on ye N. East side of the Pasquotank River, joining a Beaver Dam Swamp". On April 23, 1719, he divided his property among his four sons, James, Jr., Bailey, Thomas and Edward. It actually reads more like a will than a deed. The following deed abstract is from Gwen Bjorkman's "Pasquotank County, NC Record of Deeds, 1700-1751"."

I will contact Willard for his documentation and post. Do you know "Mr. Willard"? He has stopped his "Forbes" August reunions because of his age but he's still sharp as a tack.

Re: Cyrus Wiley Grandy & Ann Lamb Dozier

Check the Dauge spelling in Currituck Co. I believe she is the daughter of Joseph Dauge (b. 2 Dec 1772 - d. 18 Jan 1837) and Lydia Grandy.

I believe this line can be traced back to James Dauge b. ca. 1660 in France and Mary Bonney. A good source of information for this line is http://community-2.webtv.net/hferebee/dauge/

Re: Cyrus Wiley Grandy & Ann Lamb Dozier

JeanOSchroeder — 2007-06-14 15:48:05Z

Ret,

Check out the site I gave you in my previous email. The person who compiled the data disagrees with some of the other commonly used information about the Dauge family, for instance that their name was D'Auge. The information provided at that site seems to be well documented and researched. I recommend it to anyone researching James Dauge, the immigrant.

Other than the census, the only other source that I am aware of that sometimes gives occupations are Deed Books. They frequently state a person's occupation. The only published Deed Book for Currituck Co. that I am aware of is: "By A Line Of Marked Trees", compiled by John Anderson Brayton.

Good luck with your book.

I certainly agree with you that the Sawyer's are muddled. Mine are mainly in Tyrrell and Currituck Counties but they appear to connect to Pasquotank Co.

I have Edmund M. Sawyer b. 10 Oct 1825 in South Mills, NC and d. Jan 1913 in Camden Co., NC. He married Adelia Brown (b. ca. 1825)about 1847. They had eight known children: Margaret; Nancy; Martha Ann "Mattie"; Grandy D.; Edmond L.; Spence; Mary "Polly"; Narcissus. He married second Josephine Cordelia Wilkins (b. 28 Aug 1850) on 13 Nov 1884. They had two known children: Emerson Cleveland and Wilderson J.

Edmond M. was the son of William Sawyer (b. between 1776 - 1783) in South Mills, Camden Co., NC and d. after 1860. He was married to Ruth Crookum. They had six known children.

This is not a direct line of mine. This is just information I have picked up through collateral lines.

Hope it helps.

Hi Allum,
Back in the 70's & 80's I lived in South Mills and went to school with a lot of Spence children.
The Spence and McCoy's families are still there in South Mills, and have been there for many many generations.

I will do some checking and see who the oldest living Spence is that is still in South Mills and maybe you can connect with them.

Re: Cyrus Wiley Grandy & Ann Lamb Dozier

ret_talbot — 2007-06-14 17:11:10Z

Thank you again. I have been on the site you suggested for the past couple hours. It appears well-researched as you suggest. I am a little stumped by the notation that Joseph Dauge (1772-1837) "married Angelica dau. of Grandy Etheridge (1782-1810)." I'm guessing this was a first marriage, as Ann Lamb Dozier is not born until 1814. Also I am very curious as to when the name switched from Dauge to Dozzier (and why). Cheers, Ret

Re: Miles Grandy

ret_talbot — 2007-07-28 17:25:49Z

I want to post an update based on some recent research (thanks to Judy!). The following refers to C.W. Grandy, Jr., the grandson of Miles:

"Cyrus Wiley Grandy, Jr., was born on a plantation in Camden County, North Carolina, and when he was four years old the family moved to Norfolk. He was the son of Cyrus Wiley Grandy, descendant of Charles Grandy who patented land on Tanners Creek, Virginia (in the present city limits of Norfolk) in 1671, and of Anne Lamb Dozier, descendant of Jacque Du Gue (or d'Auge) emigrant from France (Civ. 1700) to the Provence of Albemarle in Carolina." Source: Robert Colgate, the immigrant: a genealogy of the New York Colgates and some associated lines. Truman Abbe. New Haven, Conn.: Tuttle, Morehouse & Taylor, 1941.

In Nell--there is a "Charles Grundy (Gundry)" listed on a Tanner's Creek. "366 acs., Low. Norf. Co., on N. side of Danl. Tanner's Cr., 4 Oct. 1671. p. 380. Adj. Col. Mason. Hugh Purdy & Mich. Lawrence. Trans. of 8 pers: Wm. Chichester, his wife, 4 children; jno. Reese. Tho. Leonard."

I have posted the information on Dozier elsewhere on the boards, but my information traces Ann Lamb Dozier back to James Dauge of Princess Anne County, Virginia.

Miles Grandy

ret_talbot — 2007-07-04 01:26:05Z

I am looking for any information on a Miles Grandy. All I know is that he had at least 1 son in 1808.

Re: Cyrus Wiley Grandy & Ann Lamb Dozier

Indeed, I believe you are correct, and I have the Doziers traced back to France (D'Auge). For my manuscript, I am most interested in the women of this family, and I am now hunting for any good information on Joseph Dozier/Dauge's wife, Millicent Munden b. c1742. Are there any good sources of information on a person's trade or profession in Currituck County at the time? Thanks for your help.

Cyrus Wiley Grandy & Ann Lamb Dozier

ret_talbot — 2007-06-13 16:33:58Z

I am working on a manuscript for a biography of Frances Cooke Grandy (1887-1968) of Norfolk, Virgina (died in Los Angeles). She was the wife of Admisral William F. Halsey jr., and I have traced her family back to Camden through C.W. Grandy or Cyrus W. Grandy or Wiley Grandy b. 1809 in Camden, North Carolina. Cyrus was married to Ann Lamb Dozier also born in Camden (1814). They had five children before moving from North Carolina to Norfolk, Virginia where Cyrus W. Grandy was a merchant. The children according to the 1860 census are: Chas R, Annette, C.W., Albert, and Pat (?).

Any information you might be able to share regarding the Grandy or Dozier family in Camden would be much appreciated, and I'd be happy to keep you updated on my research.

Cheers,

There was one family there prior to that year but seems like they left the area without a trace before the 1850 census. My GG-grandmother was Sarah Gilden, married Nathan Morrisette around 1854 or so in Currituck County. There was a Sarah Gilding, living with a Griggs family in Coinjock listed on the 1850 census. I believe them to be one and the same but all we have is their name.

Re: McPherson

jshake_1 — 2008-01-27 19:09:01Z

I am a descendant of the same Joseph McPherson (Macpherson) born in 1775. A handwritten brief bio of his son Cornelius Gregory Macpherson mentions that this Joseph married Mary Taylor, daughter of John Taylor ('a noted farmer of Roanoke'). The bio was written by Cornelius's son Ernest about 1903 or so. I also have a handwritten list of Joseph and Mary's 12 children with birthdates and places. (The first child's name was Charity.) Joseph moved from Camden Co. sometime between 1802 and 1806, staying for several years in Halifax Co before moving to Williamson Co, TN.

The same handwritten bio mentions that Cornelius' father Joseph had three brothers - James, Cornelius, and Jonathan. It further mentions that Joseph's father was named Joseph, who had three brothers named John, Joshua, and Dempsey. They supposedly came over together from Scotland.

Since Camden County was formed in 1777 from Pasquotank, could they have actually been in the same location?

Negative film, some cards much too faint or dark to read, some cards blurred or faded, particularly the service unit and the dates of application.

Many of these were for service in later years, although one or two were for service ca 1866.

Re: Spruell/Spruill William S. or Bailey

Sunsider — 2007-08-22 19:06:19Z

Hi Suzanne,
I wanted to question you concerning the info you had in your PAF file concerning Bailey Spruell being married to Lucy Lamb. I see in the will of Luke Lamb, that you helped to post on Camden USgenweb site, left items to his granddaughter Lucy Spruel/Sprules, who was guardianed by Bailey Spruell. Do you have information that Lucy's mother was Lucy Lamb. I suppose it is possible that my Bailey Spruell was married to a Lamb as well as Sarah Sawyer (who I also cannot find information on). Bailey's son William Spruell was born circa 1819-1820 in Camden county, and was the son of Bailey and Sarah Sawyer. Do you have any information on the granddaughter Lucy Lamb. I understand that Bailey Spruell died before May of 1825 (according to proved date of Thomas Lamb's (Jr.?), so I am trying to find out who may have gotten guardianship of Lucy Spruel at that time. Thanks for your help. cheryl

Re: Dorris Gregory, Jr., b. 1803 m. 1829 Eliz. Gregory, b. 1812 - Camden

inablinc — 2007-09-03 02:55:01Z

I am James K Gregory III (b 1976). My father is JKG Jr (b 1941), my grandfather was JKG Sr (b 1917). His father was James Edward Jr (b 1889), and his father was James Edward, who was born in 1861 when Dorice Gregory (CoB 6th VA Infantry - born 1829) was on sick furrow from the war.

Dorice's father was the Dorris (or Dorras) you seek, born 1803-ish and moved to PA County from Camden abt 1850 with several of his siblings and children. According to the census, Elizabeth was with him. I believe I know his burial place, however I've yet to find it. To my knowledge, he was moved over 100 years after his burial from the old Widgeon farm to the new Eastern Shore Chapel, along with a Walter Padon, who was his grandson, as his daughter Margaret married a Padon, who was either James or Walter.

Who I'm looking for is his son Dorice (6th VA).I've found his wife, behind the Lynhaven UMC on Little Neck Rd, but Dorice isn't there. He was taken POW at Chancellorsville, but according to the census, lived past 1880. If you have any idea how to find him, I'd be much appreciative. JEG Jr went to Richmond in the 40s, and took his records with him.

Many of us are behind the Lynnhaven church, and many of us are in Elmwood. Please get in touch with me - inablinc@cox.net My name is Jim, and I am hoping to meet you!

Re:Isaac Gallop/Abel Gallop

Hello There.
My name is Carolyn Johnson. I am researching my Grear-grandmother Sarah Jane Gallop. According to the 1860 census Abels son Isaac was 18 in 1860. Did you have this info? Do you have any info on Abel Gallop? Are there diaries? Any info you have would be appreciated.

Re: Gallops of Camden

houseofharmonee1 — 2007-09-26 19:52:05Z

I am a decendent of Charles and Henretta Gallop. They were both slaves. I believe my greatgrandmother was a decendent of Abel Gallop. All of their children were named after Abel and Janes children. My greatgrandmothers name was
sarah Jane Gallop. She lived a very long life-104 years. I was told of stories of playing with her sister who had long blonde hair like corn silk.

I was wondering if there are any records remaining after the war listing the slaves or perhaps a diary. Hope to hear from someone soon.

Thanks

I'm looking for information on Aaron Spence. Father of Edward Aaron (Born 1907), Enoch, Charlie, Cylde, Felix, Pearl, Blanche, Buna?. Also looking on information on Aaron's wife Cora McCoy. They all lived in Pasquotank or Southmills county. Most of my family (Spence) are from Pasquotank county. I'm trying to trace my family tree as far back as possible.

I did find a white Enoch Spence that owned slaves that may have possibly been my family but i'm not sure.

I'm also looking for information on Caleb Banks (B. 1835) and Henrietta Banks (B. 1837). They are my Great-Great-Great Grand parents. Their daughter (Harriet or Henrietta Banks B; 1869) married William Lowry B.1869. Their daughter Bessie Lowry (B.1911) is my Great-Great Grand mother.

Also, Harriet was listed as mulatto and family stories state that one of my 4th great grandmother was Indian.

Any info would help.

Re: Adelia Pendleton Lamb/ maybe Burgess

2006-10-18 23:14:55Z

Correction: I have the wrong date for Adelia's marriage to Mr. Lamb. The 1903 date would be about right. Grandmother said she was about 40 when she married, which would have been 1893, not 1873. If you have a court record of 1903, I'd say that was accurate. Grandmother was only going by her recollection.

Re: Adelia Pendleton Lamb/ maybe Burgess

2006-10-18 23:03:59Z

Hi,
Adelia Pendleton is my great grandmother. At the age of 15, her only child was Helen Pendelton, was born out of wedlock October 10, 1878. Adelia was born in March 6,1863 and died in 1936. Her mother was Harriet Mitchell Pendleton and John Pendleton. The father of the child, Helen, was named Gerry Waters, Jr. Adelia married for the first time at age 40 a Lamb at Belcross which would have been around 1873. Years later, she married Helen's widowed father-in-law, Arthur Kight Burgess. That was on Oct 10, 1912. I hope this is helpful.

I was with Gloria when she documented this cemetery. It was very hard to find. You have to enter a locked gate. If you live in the area and would like to go there I can get permission from the landowner to take you there. Feel free to email me if you are interested. The best time to go would be in the winter months.

Re: Dempsey & Elizabeth Casey

2006-05-10 23:19:16Z

1793 Camden deed of Demcy and Elizabeth Crafts Casey to Thos. Etheridge. Land originally owned by Joseph Smithson.
Demcy Casey from 1805-1814 was the moderator and preacher of the Upper North West Baptist Church.
1790 Pasquotank Co. Will of one John Casse mentions sons Dempsey, William and Arthur.
Arthur's 1795 Will leaves the land of Sary Smithson( Sarah I believe was the daughter of Joseph Smithson) to brother Dempsey. I believe this is the same Dempsey Casey.
1759 rec.1760 deed John Marchant to John Casse Pasquotank now Camden
1755 John Casey adm. to Elizabeth Upton estate.
1753 Court Hannah Kelly vs. John Casey (illigitimate child)
Believe these John Casey records are all of a land owner in Camden Co. NC . Would like any information on early Camden deed/Wills anything from 1750-1790 Pasquotank/Camden area with a Casey refs.

Re: Richardson, Stephen m. abt 1657; son Stephen m. abt 1699 to Mary Trueblood - Old Pasquotank Region

2006-05-10 22:46:17Z

Two deed refs. to a Stephen Richardson in Pasquotank Co. Record of Deeds 1700-1751 by Gwen Bjorkman. First one dated 1717. It reads as if Stephen was granted a Patent on 381 acres on the SW side of Pasquotank River dated Jan. 14th 1713/14 pg. 69 of this book. Stephen is selling 40 acres of this tract to Jeremiah Everton.
The deed is signed Stephen Richardson and Mary Richardson. Would assume this is Mary Trueblood Richardson
Pg. 127 A deed of Jeremiah Murden states that Stephen Richardson is a border neighbor along with Thos. Cartwright Jr. This deed is dated 1724.
This info tells you Stephen's wife's name and where he was at from 1717-1724.

This is a Pasquotank Co. Record but believe the land was the portion of Pasquotank that was to become Camden.

Re: Parthenia Spence

Hello. My grandmother was a Spence. I have her family bible that dates back to 1830. From that info, I have traced the Spence family back to approximately 1744 in England. I found that James Spence b. 1797 was married to Susannah Callahan, that his father was Malachi Spence and mother was Courtney Ann HUBBARD. I would like to learn more about Parthenia Spence. The information I have is that James and Susannah had 16 kids. The closest name I have to Parthenia is Parmelia, but it looks like she died an infant. If you can give me some insight, I would appreciate . I'm very new at genealogy, so I'm quite sure you know more than I. Hope this helps.

Re: Millard Sawyer

2006-04-10 21:13:38Z

Correction*** I've verified that Millard Sawyer is the father of Alfred Sawyer . All I need now is something that would help me prove that Miller Sawyer of the 32nd NC Infantry (Lenior Braves) is actually Millard Sawyer . That would help me to prove that I did in fact have an ancestor who fought in the Civil War. I really believe that they are one in the same , I've seen many mispellings of names during my searching. Anyone with either any information or info on where I can search for this proof would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks !

Re: Miles Sawyer, Ira Sawyer and Eunice Sawyer

Millard Sawyer

2006-04-10 00:34:37Z

Can anyone help ! I'm trying to establish link between Alfred Sawyer and Millard Sawyer . I've seen the headstones of both- MIllard married a Cornelia Wilroy in 1862 - Alfred was born in 1863. I'm pretty sure that Alfred is their son but cant prove it. The confederate soldier directory also shows a Miller Sawyer ( it was also spelled MIller in the marriage records). The death record of Millard says he was born 3/13/42 , died 11/25/1923.If I,m reading the death record correctly he was born in Currituck. Any help would be greatly appeciated

Isaac Murden - early 1800's

2006-03-29 02:12:53Z

Looking for the parents of Isaac Murden who lived in Camden County during the early 1800's. There are several deed transactions between Isaac and family members from 1811 to 1828. Mentioned is son Robert and his children James and Schylar and daughter Margaret who married Mark Cartwright. I believe this is the same Isaac who was the son of Robert Murden. Robert's father, Jeremiah, died about 1790 in Pasquotank County. Jeremiah's wife, Anne, married Zephiniah Burges after his death. In her will she mentions Robert's wife Polly and children Isaac, Jeremiah, and Nancey. I believe this is the Isaac in question but would appreciate if someone could confirm. Any help will be appreciated.

Samson Forbes 1767-1840

2006-03-29 01:58:01Z

Looking for the names of all of Samson Forbe's children. Samson was married to Sarah Upton. I have his sons Bailey, Tilmon, and Jesse. There are deed transactions in 1833 and 1801 between Samson and his daughters Harriett and Betsey respectively. Since I have found no other Samson Forbes in Camden County during this period, I would assume that all of these are the children of the same Samson. Can anyone confirm or refute?

I'm pretty sure I have the correct Charlotte. One thing to remember is Ambrose Walston was married to other women than Harriett Perkins. He was also married to Wilkie Dunton from Currituck County. I'm at work and dont have my documentation but will follow up.

Re: Ambrose Walston & Harriett Perkins Family

2006-01-13 02:47:21Z

Suzanne

Part of your information is incorrect. One of Ambrose Walston's children, Charlotte Walson, was my ggg grandmother. I have a photo of her as well. She was born in 1818 and died in March of 1903 and is buried in the churchyard of Shiloh Baptist Church in Shiloh, NC.

She did not marry Lemuel Forehand. In fact, she was married to Issac Davis, Wilson Godfrey, and Thomas Forbes as well as Anthony Forehand. Anthony Forehand was born in 1804 and died in 1855. Charlotte "Lottie" Walston married Anthony on AUgust 1, 1848 and lived in Camden County, NC. They parented 3 boys, Lemuel and Abner (Twins) and Durant Forehand.

I would be happy to provide any information you like.

Thanks for the info Roy. I've visited your web site, but hadn't seen all of this. Have you or anyone you know done a tree separating out all these branches or put the data into Family Tree Maker?

Have you seen any information on which branch and when name was changed from Creech to Creach?

Do you know anyone who has pursued this line before, except for Juanita (I'm in contact with her)?

When it says no more data, does it mean the researcher hasn't pursued or has pursued and hasn't found anything?

What I am looking for is someone born between about 1770 and 1790.

SIMPSON, Robert L.? or John? - Photo

2005-10-18 05:58:33Z

This is a photo of my g-grandfather. His daughter, Mattie B. SIMPSON (born Oct 29, 1898) married Richard Lewis WARD, Sr in Tyrrell Co. Mattie has him written in her bible as being Robert L. SIMPSON. On her death certificate he is John SIMPSON. Since Mattie's name is SIMPSON, Robert/John must have married her mother Susan (aka Sudie, Suddie, Sadie) WEST most likely in Camden. I have no marriage date. Mattie and her parents were born in Camden County, NC.

I would like to know what happened to him, his dates and who his parents are? Years ago my father said family told him he worked on the ferry in Currituck but just disappeared.

The 2 extra pictures are of his wife Susan (aka Suddie, Sadie)

I will share all my data, pictures and documents.

Bob,

I do not show Wilson Duncan having a Sister named Elizabeth but then again, I'm also not showing that he has any siblings. Let's see if we are talking about the same Wilson Duncan. I have Wilson Duncan born July 14, 1810. He married Nancy Gibson. I have their children as:
David Duncan b. 1838
Polly Duncan b. 1841
Ithram Gibson Duncan b.1843
Nancy Duncan b.1847 (gap noted between 1843 and 1847)
John Gibson Duncan b. 1852
Wilson Gibson Duncan b.1854
Are we talking about the same Wilson Duncan?
If we are, I have his parents as David Duncan and Chloe Coates.
Additionally, John Needham Duncan and Amelia Forbes are my grandparents. I have information about them if you want it and even photos to share.

Re: Thomas Forbes b. about 1862

2005-10-02 03:01:01Z

I have since found out that the mother of Thomas Duncan Forbes b. July 1861 was Elizabeth Duncan. His father was Thomas Ross Forbes. Do you show Wilson Duncan having a sister by that name? If Wilson had a sister Elizabeth, this would have made Thomas D. Forbes his nephew. Any idea who Wilson Duncan's father might have been?
Who was your grandfather Duncan and what Forbes did he marry? I have a John N. Duncan who married Amelia Forbes, daughter of Enoch Dozier Forbes and Julia Ann Dozier, in 1904. Might this be the same Duncan who was your grandfather?? Enoch Dozier Forbes was my 3great unle.

Bob,
Not sure I can help but all of this does look familiar. I have a Wilson Duncan(b. 1810) married to Nancy Gibson. Is this the same Wilson Duncan? I do not have Nathan as one of their children so that's why I'm asking but Wilson and Nathan are living next to one anotherin the 1870 Census. My grandfather was a Duncan who married a Forbes but not in the time frame you are interested in. However, I don't doubt there is a connection between the Forbes family and the Duncan family.

John Gregory, 1793-1878

2005-08-12 16:52:40Z

John Gregory, 1793-1878, was my great, great, great grandfather. The following are pieces of information that I have on him and may be of help.

History of Addison Co., VT:
John Gregory, a native of North Carolina, and a soldier of the War of 1812, came to this town in 1814, settling on the farm now owned by James Gregory. When a boy he ran away from his father's home in North Carolina.

Vermont records from 1871-1909:
John died 85 years, 0 months, 13 days on 19 Oct 1878 of Paralysis in Ferrisburgh. No parents info listed. It listed birthplace as ?? Camden Co NC??

Obit states John was from Camden Co., NC.

John was a sailor not a soldier and he enlisted in NYC - from an article written about him, he ran away to sea when he was young. Est date of birth: Oct. 6, 1793.

Since there are no church records in NC prior to 1820, if anyone knows of any source (newspaper, family records or other) that will help me identify John's family, I would be very grateful.

Thank you.

Re: TUL/TULL/TULLE SAWYER Camden Co. NC info please...

I believe that my gggrandmother, Mary Matilda Sawyer, lived in Tull's Creek, which is located in Currituck County, NC. I note that the Sawyers seem to have originated in Camden Co, and I think Currituck Co. may even have been a part of Camden Co at one time. In any event, am I right when I guess that Tull Sawyer has some relationship to Tull's Creek where my Sawyers lived?

Re: Luke Lamb 1734-1822

2005-08-07 16:09:54Z

My gggrandmother was Mary Matilda Sawyer, daughter of David Temple Sawyer and Mary Matilda Lamb (1808-1903). MMLamb was daughter of Gideon Lamb (son of Luke Lamb and Mary Gray) and Mary Dozier Lamb (daughter of William Lamb and Lovey Dozier). Luke Lamb and William Lamb were descended from Thomas Lamb and Sarah Beckwith of Massacheusetts/Connecticut.
Your email is very exciting to me. My Lambs and Sawyers were, to my knowledge, in Currituck County. My dad used to go visit Sawyer relatives in Tulls Creek in Currituck Co. David Temple Sawyer has always been a stonewall for me.

Forbes Chart

rrjh1 — 2006-09-06 19:27:18Z

Alice,

I believe we've communicated before. I was rereviewing the Forbes postings in the Camden Co site and saw your old messange and a reference to an old Forbes chart.

I have such a Forbes chart. On the left side where you refer to Jacob Forbes it has 2 marriages.

1 to Abigail Standly (no ch)
2 to Nancy WALSTON (3 girls/3boys)

the 6 children are:

Sarah b. 1815 m. John Kight, b. 1802
Melinda b. 1819 m. Jacob Forbes b 1817 s/o Evan gs/o Isaac
Matilda b. 1819 m. Wilson Jones
Thomas b. 1807 m. Luraney Ross, b. 1807
Etheridge b. 1810 m1. Meddier Cox m2. Margaret Gregory
Frederick b. 1814-17, d. 1840, m. Vasti Leary, b. 1820-28

The info on the children is noted, "France Forbes records"
I have 2 Frances Forbes in my file but they both died in the mid 1800s so I doubt this is from either of them.

I look foreward to reviewing things with you.

Re: Miles Sawyer, Ira Sawyer and Eunice Sawyer

julieufl — 2006-07-19 02:01:18Z

I am also researching this family line. I believe that Ann Newbern is Miles Sawyer's second wife, different than the "Dian" listed in the 1850 census. In 1850 Ann Newbern (married name) is living with husband Perry Newbern and children William and Martha. According to Currituck marriage records, Miles Sawyer and Ann Newbern were married in 1856. In the 1860 census Ann is living with Miles, and also living with them is William and Martha Newbern from Ann's first marriage. I believe Ira, Lucinda, and Mary were from Miles' first marriage.

I have received some info on my Dempsey Casey research that has me looking for a Malachi Forbes in Camden Co. in 1789.
on 26 May 1789, Dempsey Casey received 323 acres from MALICHI or MALACHI Forbes. It is a NC Patent, recorded in Camden Co, NC, Book 74, page 331.

Would like to know more about Malachi Forbes. One of your posts says he was b. 1786. That would make him 4 years old in Camden 1800 census, so his this census for his father by the same name?
Thank you,

Re: Zail Sawyer

ARRJDJ — 2006-04-02 03:00:19Z

There is a deed May 6, 1773 Dempsey Sawyer to Joseph Jones , 100 acres. Do not have the DBK information. Sorry.
Border neighbors then were Ammon Grandy's corner binding east to a line formerly Richards, thence Sotherly to a line formerly Edw. WILLIAMS.
States the land was granted to James McDaniel and by his assigned to Thomas Sawyer and by Thos. Sawyer & Robt. Spence conveyed to Caleb Sawyer who died and fell to his son John Sayer and by him conveyed by gift deed to Dempsey Sawyer who now sold to Joseph Jones.
Thought this might be the same land / location. I have the no. 68 written beside my notes so this might be in the Pasquotank Co. Deed Book by Gwin Bjorkman.

They were married May 6th 1869 by T. L. Williams. The book lists the parents of Joseph Rodgers as Jacob and Penelope Rodgers and the parents of Catharine Sivills as Jessee and Martha Sivills.

Do you have a will or the estate papers for Eli Gallop. I only had two children listed for him and wife Harriett Spruill: Henry and Eli Woodley, II. No doubt there were probably others beside those two and your Daniel.

Re: Joshua Gallop

JeanOSchroeder — 2007-02-23 18:14:41Z

What time frame are you talking about in Tyrrell Co.

There were just too few people in these counties for them not to have been related. I don't believe in coincidences like that . . that two seperate lines of Gallops just happened to end up in the same area. I believe we (all researchers) have just not gone back far enough or found enough evidence to connect them.

Re: Ambrose Walston & Harriett Perkins Family

JeanOSchroeder — 2006-01-15 18:26:33Z

Let me start by saying this is not my direct line. . . White is a direct line.

In the Currituck Co. Cemetery Book, page 300, is information copied from an Old Almanac now at the Univ. of NC at Chapel Hill. It states "Luke Walston the son of Thomas Walston and Director Walston was bornd the 9 day of January, 1815."

Re: Ambrose Walston & Harriett Perkins Family

JeanOSchroeder — 2006-01-17 01:55:54Z

No, I am sorry, there is nothing to indicate where he was buried.

This transcript of the handwritten entries in "The Old Almanac" lists many births - mostly White family. Some of the births go back to the late 1600's. There are many births of "Negro's" listed as well.

Re: Ambrose Walston & Harriett Perkins Family

JeanOSchroeder — 2006-01-19 22:31:19Z

Surprisingly enough, there are no Forehand graves listed in the Cemetery Book. There are probably a dozen or so Dough listings. If you give me a specific name(s), I will be glad to look them up for you.

marielaine — 2005-11-29 14:02:49Z

Hi--I was intrigued by your message that you had info to share. My family descends from Joseph Abbott thru William Riley Abbott. Looking for info on them, however, my first husband was a Harris & I'm looking for info on his family for my son. His grandparents were Sophie Morgan and Christopher Hilliard Harris of Morgan's Corner, which I believe is in Camden County. There was an old Morgan homestead. Is this the family you are talking about? Is the homestead still in existence? My ggggrandfather, William Riley Abbott built a home there which can be viewed on the Camden County website.--Thanks, Elaine

William Riley Abbott

marielaine — 2005-11-29 14:02:49Z

Dear Vicki--
You are my cousin! I believe we are 2nd cousins. I have been posting notices just about everywhere on the net with the hope of finding someone who can answer the question you asked. William Riley Abbott's father was Joseph Abbott, a cabinetmaker who later became a farmer, I believe. His wife was Margaret or Martha Kelly. I have some material that says he arrived from London in the 1750's.

My line is descended from William Riley's son William Henry who was married to Emily Jane Spencer, dau of Joseph Anthony Spencer and Emily Dozier Gordon. My grandfather, John Frank Abbott was one of their sons, My father was John Frank Abbott, Jr.

An interesting note is that John Kelly Abbott was raised in his uncle William Riley Abbott's home. He attended Randolph-Macon College and worked as a surveyor. He was a Confederate soldier in the Civil War. He was also elected to the NC legislature five times and served in both houses.

If you haven't already, try to obtain a copy of "Three Hundred Years Along the Pasquotank".

Do you have any information to share? I would love to hear about it.

Kindest regards,

Elaine Strople

It has been some time since you made this post. Could you tell me if you have more information on your Burgess line?
I have found in the Camden and Pasquotank Will abstracts a John Burgess who died in 1763 with sons Dempsey, William and John. These men I believe are the three found throughout the deeds in Camden Co.
My interest is in another Burgess abstract , a 1764 Will of Elizabeth Burgess, who married Thos. Sawyer then a John Burgess. She mentions four das and the one named Jemima Cafee/ CASEY as the Archive copy says. Have you ever come a cross any information in regards to this line of Burgess?

Re: Creech Family in Old Albemarle, now Part of Camden Co, NC

LSpaight — 2005-10-23 23:12:07Z

I'm trying to trace my family Creach (probably Creech). Here's what I have on the earliest ancestor:

James Enoch Creach born in Norfolk or Norfolk County on 20 Oct 1805. Don't know parents' names. He ran away from home when he was 12 or 13 and went to Tennessee. There he lived with the Allen family till he grew up. He married Mary Allison, born in Wilkes Co. NC and he and several families moved west to
Camden County, MO. Families that moved from
Tennessee/Kentucky/NC include Green (Wilkes Co.),
Storie (Wilkes Co.), Allison (Wilkes Co.), Eidson, Russell. We don't see any Allens in the early migration records into Camden Co MO, nor any other Creach/Creech.

Do you have any records that show a James Enoch Creech born
in old Norfolk County (included Camden County) in 1805?

I know there's a Solomon and Mary Creech on the Norfolk, VA tax roll in 1799.

I could not really get to the stones. I plan to go up there soon and try to clean the area up. A local told me that the area of land it sits on might be for sale to a realty company, so I have to find someone there who can let me know for sure. Where did you get that booklet about the cemeteries. If it is small can you send me a copy?? If so heres my address . .

Re: Spence Cemetery

I have been there twice, it is in real bad shape, it needs some serious trimming or briars and trees. I plan to be up there the 1st weekend in October, and may try to do some clean up. I heard from some locals that there may be a plan to build a new housing development in the same area. Hopefully the cemetery won't be destroyed. It is a small one, only about 5 stones. But it is history nonetheless.

Re: Spence Cemetery

I have tried to several times. The area that the cemetery is in is so overrun with trees, I have a few pictures but they are not very good because most of what you see is briar and tree. If anyone is in the Camden Area around the 4th of October let me know and we can make a trip to the cemetery and try to clean it out.

Re: Camden Churches CA 1795

marthaann_1 — 2006-07-28 23:08:50Z

In the southern part of the county Shiloh Babtist Church was started in the 1720s but I don't know what early records they might have.
In the northern end of the county there was a chapel of the Church of England before 1733. In 1792 the Methodist and Episcopalians got a joint lease for the property and were to rebuild the church. The episcopalians dissapeared but McBride Methodist Church is still active in the same spot. The present building is at least the 4th on the site and was built in 1882. Unfortunatly, the earliest records that have survived are from 1858. They are just class roll books.

Re: James PEARCE, R.I. in 1765 > N.C. abt 1793

John Pearce who married Mary Hughes was a brother of my grandfather. They had 6 children. Henry, Mattie, James, Ada, Annie, and Samuel Wesley. Ada is the only one still living and she is 97 or 98. Ada and Annie both married Sawyers. Their husbands were brothers from Currituck Co. Ada was married to Orion (called Jack) and Annie was married to Earl.
Our family has almost always spelled our name Pearce. There were several Pearce/Pierce families that apperently were not relaited in New England in the early 1600s

Going East from Elizabeth City North Carolina on hwy 158 turn right on Club House Road by the Camden Shell Gas Station. The Sawyer Plantation was .5 of a mile up this road on the left.The below information was taken from J. F. Pugh's writings.

(.5 miles Look carefully for an abondoned road near the edge of the thicket called Sawyers - and nearby, once stood "Richmond", the home of a wealthy planter, Enoch Swayer, brother to Congressman Lemuel Sawyer. It was in this house that President James Monroe is said to have been entertained when he made a Southern tour.)

Re: Caleb Staples Forbes

2005-07-23 20:57:01Z

I have John R. Forbes, b. 1832, son of Thomas S. Forbes and Luraney Ross, who married Sarah A. Staples. I don't have the date of the marriage.I think this may be the one you are looking for. If so, I would appreciate what you have in this line to go with what I have.

Thomas Forbes b. about 1862

2005-07-13 15:28:11Z

Looking for information on Thomas Forbes who was born 1861-62. I would like to find his mother and father's names so as to be able to connect him to the rest of the Forbes family. Unfortunately census records are not much help in that Thomas's parents were apparently dead by 1870 as he was living in the household of Nathan and Susan Duncan. Nathan was the son of Wilson Duncan. It is believed that Thomas was related to Wilson Duncan as he referred to Thomas in his will as his "neffew". Therefore it would be safe to say that Thomas's mother's maiden name was Duncan. Does anyone know of a Forbes who married a Duncan in the mid 1800s? By 1880 Thomas is still single and living in the Wilson Duncan household. The 1890 census also poses a problem as Thomas's first marriage probably would probably have shown up in that census. In the 1900 census he is a widow with sons Thomas age 10 and Ambrose age 15.
Any help with this individual will be greatly appreciated.

ROBINSON

2005-03-13 22:29:11Z

Hi, I'm trying to find my Grandfather ROBINSON and his ancestors. The only information I have on him is limited. His name was Charles Olan ROBINSON. According to the information that I have on my father's birth certificate (for Charles Olan ROBINSON, Jr.), Charles Olan ROBINSON was born about 1903, somewhere in North Carolina. He was living in Roane County, TN, at least by 1925, when he met and married my Grandmother, Bonnie Pauline DEVANEY.

I'm afraid that I do not know his exact date of birth or death, nor his parents' names, nor whether he had any siblings. However, Charles Olan is a rather unusual combination. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Re: William Dozier Sr Born 1805 Shiloh, Camden County NC

2005-01-20 02:54:19Z

Hi Linda,

I have in my notes that Mary DOZIER, daughter of Dempsey DOZIER & Polly WALSTON married Tilmon Forbes and had the following Children:

Josephine (1845-1936)
Enoch Dozier (1848-1923)
Sarah Jane. Born in 1852 in Camden County, NC.26
Chloe Etta. Born in 1859 in Camden County, NC.26
Elizabeth. Born in Camden County, NC.

Looks like I'm related to myself again... Enoch D Forbes' Mother Mary Dozier & William Dozier were siblings. I guess Enoch D. FORBES and Julia Ann DOZIER are 1st cousins 1 time removed.

It just keeps getting more and more sorted - no wonder my family is insane.

Re: William Dozier Sr Born 1805 Shiloh, Camden County NC

2005-01-20 02:25:37Z

Hi Linda,

Thanks so much for your help! I do have a copy of that picture, I took a copy from your collection on the Camden Website. I met a woman online (actually I think it was Linda Wilson). She mentioned that she had a copy of that photo from Helen Carole and on the back she had written “Julia Ann Dozier Forbes & son. Julia md. Enoch D. Forbes. Child is Alfonso Forbes. Alfonso – kicked in head by a mule before teens. Died in early 40’s. Never mentally competent. Only known pic of either one. Julia died of consumption (TB). Copied from tintype pic from Helen Carole Forbes DeBerry. Pic passes from Bailey to Helen Carole. Julia and Enoch lived in Riddle, Camden Co, NC. Julia was an illegitimate child and had the surname of her Grandpa Dozier.”

Also - you sent me a picture of Enoch D Forbes this past summer. Thanks again!

Have you tried searching Currituck Co, NC? There were many Doziers there and also in Princess Anne Co VA. I think some of the families moved in that direction. I have a Wilson Hewitt of Camden that I am searching for, his family also moved in the direction of Currituck, Moyock NC. Some of them also went to Pasquotank Co, Elizabeth City, NC.

I know there were Duncans in Southeast Va.

Hi Linda,
Bettie's parents were Enoch Dozier Forbes & Julia Ann Dozier. My Aunt Pat took me there and showed me the cement marker that covers their graves last year.

The William Dozier I am looking for is Julia's grandfather on her Mother's side. Her father (possibly a Duncan) is unknown as far as I can tell. Scandal in my family? Unheard of! Julia's mother Elizabeth never married or left her father's home. I believe Julia was raised as William's daughter (as least that is how it is listed in the 1870 census)
My email is jen_eldridge@msn.com. Shoot me anything you have on Bettie (or anyone)

Would appreciate information on members' travels to the Jarvisburg/Powells Point area of Currituck Co., and to the North Banks (now Duck) vicinity of what is now Dare Co. The members travelled around the sounds in a large boat called the Ark. Sometimes they were gone from their families for quite a period of time while they enjoyed their singing and brotherhood. Their activities began in the 1890's and probably lasted around twenty years.

Granville Woodfrow Sawyer (went by Thomas Woodrow Sawyer)

2004-08-25 17:29:20Z

Found Alice Craig Sawyer Davis, child of Granville Woodrow Sawyer's second marriage. Now...

Searching for daughter (might be named Barbara?) of first marriage of Granville Woodrow Sawyer (born 1914 in Roper, NC) who went by the name of Thomas Woodrow Sawyer, to (Mildred?) in Washington, DC. I just found Granville's family from his second marriage to a woman in Louisiana. Granville apparently had a falling out with his first wife's family (and then his family of origin) and disappeared for awhile to Houston, TX. He must have kept in contact w/his first family, though, because a daughter from his second family recalls the girl visiting her family in Louisiana when the girl was approx. five years old (?). She says this happened prior to 1947.

This Louisiana Sawyer says she thinks Granville and his first wife divorced when the girl was approx. 18 months old (?) and that Granville's first wife remarried to a Senator. At the time of his first marriage (during the Depression), Granville worked as a bellhop at a hotel in Washington, DC. He later worked as a building contractor. Much later, he had a successful seafood restaurant in New Orleans. If anyone knows of this child or wife from his first marriage, please contact me at jtjjohnson@juno.com. It'd be nice to reunite this girl (now woman) with her many half-siblings and introduce her to her Sawyer cousins.

John Gregory/b. NC ca 1793/d. VT 10/19/1878

2004-02-18 16:17:00Z

My great, great, great grandfather, John Gregory,
was born 1793 in NC and died in Ferrisburg, VT on
Oct 19, 1878. According to a newspaper article,
John Gregory was from Camden County, NC. Family
stories and two pub'd articles tell us that John
left home at a very early age (possibly at age 10);
if so, my theory is that either one or both of his
parents died and he was unhappy with the changes.
If you can give me any information on John's NC
roots, I would be most appreciative.

Raymond Scarbrough

2004-02-18 11:31:15Z

I´m searching for a "Raymond Scarbrough from Knoxville, Tennessee" (don´t know if it´s the right spelling but that´s my only information!). He was a soldier in WW2 and stayed in Stuttgart, Germany (or nearby) up to 1948/49. Then returned to USA, but he came back for some time. At that time he knew Paula Kurz from Stuttgart-Hallschlag, Germany.

I will be very happy about any information!

Camden, Dennis,Family connection Amherst VA Garrard KY

2003-12-23 14:24:12Z

Hello
I am researching the Dennis family that lived in
Amherst county VA from 1780 to abt. 1797 and a possible Camden family relationship. Elisha Dennis born abt. 1760 married Elizabeth Hudson in Amherst in 1780. They migrated to Garrard county Kentucky from
Amherst in the late 1790's along with the Hudson,Lewis,Steele and a number of other families from the Amherst area. In Elisha's will dated 1824 he left the bulk of his Estate to his son Beverly Dennis and his "daughter"
Sibby (Camden) Dennis. I believe that Sibby was actually
Elisha's daughter in law and Beverly's wife. I think Sibby was born in the 1790's. I can't see how Sibby would have the Camden middle name without there being a family connection. I've seen Sibby's name written in several different ways Siba,Sibba,Shibola,Sibolth and Libby. Sibby would be my gr gr gr grandmother. I have seen were there was a William Camden that was killed by robbers in Garrard county Kentucky in 1805. Can anyone help me connect Sibby with the Camden family of Amherst VA. or Garrard county Ky.?
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dennis

Re: Dempsey

Tom,

Dempsey must have been a popular name for that area. I have a William Dempsey HARRISON. I was wondering were that name "Dempsey" came from. So far there are no others in my line with that name. It is a unique name that sticks in your mind for some reason. I have a ton of family from Bladen and Columbus Counties. What are your surnames from that county? I also saw some pictures of a "Dempsey" on the Camden Co., NC web site on rootsweb. I forgot what his last name was though. It may have been "FORBES" or "WILLIAMS" ? You can e-mail me directly if you'd like.

I have Nancy Jane NEEDHAM b. March 20, 1872 in Old Trape, Camden Co., NC and she m. 1.)Ambrose STAPLES Dec. 25, 1890. I have their children as :
Abner Needham Staples b. Oct. 12, 1891
Annie b.September 1892 d.
Ambrose b.1894 d. 1919

Nancy Jane married Wilson Kight LEARY April 29, 1899. They had several children as well. Nancy d.Feb. 13, 1939 in Old Trap.

So, if this is the same Sim FROBES, he would probably have been born abt. 1890? Because this Annie was b. 1892, but I do not have a death date. It gets hard because people would name their children after family and then you see several people with the same name in the same county, and some born around the same time. I wish I had more information on Sim. I will keep my eye out though.

FROM "Colonial Court Records, Land Papers-Wills 1665-1746", State Archives, Division of Archives and History, Raleigh: #7 Pasquotank Precinct Rights proved Oct Court held 20 Oct 1701- James Forbus(Forbes) proved 11 rights: Himself, Alice his wife, John Forbus, James Forbus jr., Eliz Forbus, Tho. Forbus, Bayley Forbus, Edward Forbus, Lewis Knight, Hester, Knight, Maria Knight and assigned in Court to ISAAC GUILFORD. (Isaac also sponsored other families in 1702. What his interests were, I have no idea.)

This Isaac Guildford was born in England (no date) apparently was dead by 1741. Sources indicate he had children Abigail [who m. the aforementioned Thomas Forbus(Forbes)], John and Joseph. I have no other information on John. Joseph is named as a prominent citizen in the early 1700s by Jesse F. Pugh in his book "Three Hundred Years Along the Pasquotank".I have no other information on Joseph. One of them (or both) possibly had a son named Issac who was born about 1740.

Does this help any?

There was an Issac Guilford in Pasquotank County as early as the late 1600s.

Michele

Haven't been on this query board in ages...was browsing and found your query to me. Sorry that I did not answer sooner.

Several of us believe that Sidney might well be a sister or maybe an aunt to our Sammons sisters.Though this family weaves and bobs all over the place so we aren't sure of anything until we uncover documentation.

We believe the children are:
Unknown Female Sammons
Sidney Sammons
Willis Washington Sammons
Charlotte Sammons
Mary Jane Sammons
Unknown Male Sammons
Willoughby C Sammons

We think that the parents are David Sammons and Mary Elizabeth (Polly) Chamberlain and the grandparents are Willoughby Sammons and Nancy Hall( Nancy is a big question mark). We have seen the last name spelled Sammons/Sammon/Simons/Simmons but this will be the first Simmonds. David Sammons disappeared and we think Willoughby took in or lived close to Mary Elizabeth (Polly) and children. At this time we don't know what happened to Nancy Hall. Pretty sure Nancy Hall was atleast the first wife of our Willoughby, being she was the daughter of a David Hall and Willoughby named his son David .Don't know were Polly Sawyer fits in,unless she was second wife to our Willoughby and mother of Sidney and therefore Sidney is our Sammons girls aunt instead of sister. If you have any facts or corrections to our theories please let me know.

Re: Miles Sawyer, Ira Sawyer and Eunice Sawyer

2003-01-30 14:02:42Z

Eunice J. Sawyer was born August 31, 1899.
Eunice, Annie, Lillie, Mamie, Lula, Alice, Sadie and Edward were children born to Ira Sawyer and Sarah Jane Wright. Eunice recorded that her parents moved to Hickory just accross the state line. Ira's parents were Miles Sawyer and Annie Capps from Camden County. I found them on the 1920 cencus when he was 66 and she was 60.
In the 1930 cencus it list Miles Sawyer with wife Rebecca. He is 79 and she is 44. It states that she married for the first time at age 35, so I am assuming she married in 1921.
It also states that Miles got married for the first time when he was 21, so hopefully that means he married Annie around 1872 or so. But this is all I have been able to come up with so far. I would appreciate any and all help...Thank you, Donna Rose of Camden County

Suzanne,
Here is the abstract:

Abstracts of Camen County Wills, Compiled by Dorothy Owens Dec. 1987

"Lamb, Isaac Bk. C, P.47 Mar.20 1824 May 1825
Wife Polly, Sons Isaac L. and Luke G. Lamb, land joining Malachi Sawyer. Land where Abner Sawyer now lives. Son Henry N. Lamb. Grandson Isaac N. Lamb son of Luke G. Lamb. Allen S. Lamb, brother Thomas Lamb dec'd. Dau. Cynthia L. Hall, dau. Lucretia Sawyer, dau. Polly G. Lamb, dau. Eliza H. Lamb, grandson Isaac L. Hall son of Cynthia, son Allen S. Lamb, dau Nancy. Wife Polly Lamb. exec. son Isaac N. Lamb & Alfred M. Gatlin exec."

There are still many members of the Lamb family in and around Camden, and many I'm sure share your interest in genealogy. Hopefully, someone may know where the bible is or at least have the information you're looking for.

Suzanne,
In the book "Abstracts Of Camden County Wills" Compiled by Dorothy Owens and Published by The Camden County Historical Society, It shows two dates of the will. Dec 28, 1820 and May 1822. I assume the 2nd date is the date of probate!

I don't have answers to the questions you raised, other than to say that you must research those collateral families to answer them. But, I was wondering if you could tell me the source for the will of Luke Lamb. What will book and page number? Thanks.

Old estate records such as the one you are seeking are at the State Archives in Raleigh. I have looked up similar files. I am going to be there on Nov. 12 and will look up the file you want if I have the time. The local courthouse does not have these.

Re: Look up

Let me know prior to my going to Raleigh on the 12th if the other person you referred to gets the information for you so I won't duplicate efforts. These estate records vary all over the place as to what might be in the folder. Sometimes it is just a single page; others contain a wealth of information. Hope yours is the latter.

Re: Cemetery

There are two books of Camden Co. cemeteries done by a member of the Family Research Society of NE North Carolina. Vol. 1 covers cemeteries of the lower half of the county (Hwy 158 south through Old Trap). Vol 11 covers cemteries north of Hwy 158 to the Virginia state line. Check out www.geocities.com/frsnnc2 for Society's web pages as both books are available for purchase.

I have both books if you desire a lookup.

Check out the Society website I mentioned as there may be some leads or you might locate someone else researching the same family.

Re: Maggie Toxey and Sanderlin graveyard?

Camden County Cemeteries Volume I by Gloria Twiddy Wesner lists a Sanderlin family cemetery on Pond Road (State Road 1114) North Side .2 miles east of Eason Cemetery, out in field, but I didn't find the names you were looking for in the book.
The graves listed for Sanderlin cemetery are ?Ike Berry(damaged stone) Born Oct 09 189? age 3 years; James G. Sanderlin died Dec 26 1919 age 85 years; and Martha Sanderlin (wife of James) born Mar 2 1839 died Jan 3 1892
There is a Sarah J. Toxey (1866-1896) buried in the Wesley Methodist Church Cemetery in the book. She's buried with other Toxey's - Lassell and Polly but no relationships were gleaned from the stones.
Hope that helps some.

Addie Forehand Book

I have heard of a book written many years ago by an Addie Forehand. Does anyone know where I might obtain a copy of it? Or would it be possible for someone to copy it for me? I would be glad to pay for book or photocopying, if that is permissible.

Re: Addie Forehand Book

JHolder2929 — 2004-08-27 00:12:34Z

I really don't know what the book is about or who Addie was. We visited an empty church near Cornelius' homeplace in Sept. 2002. I left a message (it was during the week). A lady wrote me in response to my message that she had a book by Addie Forehand and would make me a copy of it, or send me information about it, but never did. I am away from home now, and don't have the information with me, but I believe Addie had given her the book, so doubt if it was Lemuel's daughter, if you are referring to the Lemuel that was born several generations ago. Sorry to be so unclear, but will be back home in a few days and can refer to my notes.

Luke Lamb 1734-1822

SLamb0508cancel — 2003-01-20 14:20:25Z

I have a few puzzles concerning my gggggrandfather Luke Lamb, son of Thomas Lamb & Sarah Beckwith. His will is dated 28 December 1822 (which is now posted on the Camden County, NC website), but yet all of the dates I have
seen for his death are 2 May 1822, so how could that be??
His will is dated twice and the same date is shown both times
as 28 December 1822. Does anybody know where he is buried and if so, is there a marker with any dates on it??
In his will he gives items to several grandchildren, and I have
not been able to place them with the correct parents:
Tully Dozier, is he the son of Lydia Lamb Grandy & Joseph Dozier, or Sarah "Sally" Lamb & Abner Dozier or even
Phoebe Lamb & John Dozier?? He also gives items to William and Gideon Lamb, sons of Gideon Lamb, are they the
sons of his deceased son Gideon Lamb & Mary Dozier, or are they maybe the sons of his deceased brother Gideon Lamb.
Any information anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Suzanne Lamb

Is there anything in the Will Book about Isaac Lamb 1765-1825?
I have a typed copy of his will, but it is not very good and would like to have a complete copy.
Also is there anything about his Bible, again I have a typed copy that is not complete. It was done by a Lamb cousin back in 1921, and I have not been able to locate a member of the family that did have the Bible to date. I think there maybe
a copy at the archives in Raleigh, that is #1 on my list when I
visit this Spring, if I can't locate a good copy before hand.
Thanks again

Warren,
My great grandmother, Millicent F. White, married John Pierce/Pearce of Camden in 1856. They had one son Charles Willis Pierce. John must have died by 1860 as Millicent is back with her parents and remarried William Gaston Perry in 1866. Millicent is buried in the Pierce family cemetery in South Mills.
Is this your family and if so do you have any more info on Millicent?

Thanks for your note. Would you believe - there are still a Pearce folk in Camden County right now and I have had lots of interaction with Martha.

As I commented, 4 of Jame's children moved to Tennessee and Arkansas some time in the early 1830s. I don't know exactly when.

Some of their other children stayed there and their decendents relate to Martha.

We haven't been able to get a death date on James, but I do have a copy of the distribution of the estate of his wife in early 1836.

Do you have any data on them prior to 1830??

James PEARCE, R.I. in 1765 > N.C. abt 1793

pearceww — 2004-12-18 03:30:51Z

I’m related to JAMES PEARCE son of SAMUEL PEARCE and BETTY SIMMONS. He was born in Little Compton or Warren, Rhode Island in 1765. James’ siblings were Phepe, Priscilla, Jeremiah, Joseph, Samuel, Mary, Abigail, and John. This lineage was in R.I. in the early 1600.

James Pearce moved to South Mills, Camden County, N.C. in the early 1790s and married SARAH McBRIDE. I think they had at least these children: Poly b 1796, John b. 1800 - d. 1875, Ira b 1805 - d 1876, Samuel b. 1812 - d 1876, Jeremiah Simmons b. 1817 - d. 1869, and Elisha.

Some of the R.I. sources indicate that James’ brother John lived with him in N.C. for 2 years A John Pearce married POLLY MCBRIDE in N.C. He apparently moved back to Warren R.I. around 1794 when she died.

John, Samuel, Jeremiah and Poly moved from South Mills to Tennessee and Mississippi around 1830. Samuel, my GGGrand father, stayed in Mifflin, Henderson county. John lived in northern Mississippi for several years then moved to Arkansas. Jeremiah lived in Dyre county, Tennessee for several years. John and Jeremiah were in Independence county Arkansas around 1850.

One of Samuel’s sons (Jeremiah Dillon Pearce - my G-Grand Father) moved to Lonoke, Arkansas around 1868 where my Grand Father, Hubert Edward Pearce was born.

I have extensive data on the R.I. Pearce family as well as John, Samuel and Jeremiah in a Family Tree Maker file that I can share.

My problem is that I don’t have any documentation relating any of James’ death date or burial location. Does anyone have any data on, his or Sally’s death date or any data on the Poly or Sarah McBride?

My James was in South Mills, Camden County, N.C. starting around 1790 and married SARAH McBRIDE. They had at least these six children: Poly b 1796, John b. 1800 - d. 1875, Ira b 1805 - d 1876, Samuel b. 1812 - d 1876, Jeremiah Simmons b. 1817 - d. 1869, and Elisha.

John, Samuel, Jeremiah and Poly moved from South Mills to Henderson County Tennessee around 1830. Samuel, my GGGrand father, stayed in Mifflin, Henderson county.

I have extensive data on the R.I. Pearce family as well as John, Samuel and Jeremiah in a Family Tree Maker file. I have a R.I. data source indicating that James moved to from R.I. to N.C.

My weakest link is finding proof that the James born in R.I. is the James who lived in N.C. Does anyone have any data supporting or not-supporting that connection?

He married Sarah McBRIDE and had at least 6 children in South Mills - Poly Pearce ( b c. 1796, d ?), John Pearce (b. 1800 - d. 1875), Ira (b 1805, d 1876), Samuel Pearce (b. 1812 - d 1876), Elisha M. Pearce (b ?, d ?), and Jeremiah Simmons Pearce (b. 1817 - d. 1869).

Around 1830, John, Jeremiah, Samuel and Poly moved to western Tennessee. For a while, John lived in northern Mississippi. Some time prior to 1859, John Pearce and Jeremiah Simmons Pearce moved to Independence Co, Arkansas and lived in the Pleasant Planes/Oil Trough/Batesville areas.

I have not been able to find any documentation on any of James’ children. This data is based on family “folklore” and some old letters.

Does anyone have any source documents listing these children? I’ve got lots of good data on James’ lineage that I will be glad to share.

I believe that the Edward Faircloth (Faircliff, etc.) mentioned above may be a son of Isaac Faircloth who was possibly a Revolutionary War veteran. Edward may have had a daughter Rosanna who married the Nathan Tuttle listed. They may have been my ancestors. Can anyone help?

Looking for father and mother of William Riley Abbott who was born in 1813 and died in 1881. Lived in Camden County. William Riley was married to Clarinda Ferebee and they built the Antebellum Home in Camden which is listed in the National Register of Historical Places. William Riley was my great-great-great grandfather.
I would appreciate any assistance.

Thank you, Vicki Baxter

Abbott. He was married to Margaret Kelly in 1860. Her father was Joseph Kelly and her mother was Elizabeth Burgess who died in 1839. Would you have any info. on the Kelly and Abbott's.

Thanks,

Riley Dozier

Lee:

I don;t know if we have a connection but my third great-
grandfather, William Riley Abbott, who resided in Camden County, North Carolina, raised a boy by the name of Riley Dozier.In 1980,I received a letter from a woman who resided in Camden County. She indicated that William Riley raised the boy because he was actually the father. William Riley was married to his second wife, Martha, at the time. I do know that William Riley resided on a plantation and had slaves. I have a feeling that something was going on that was kept quiet at the time. Maybe we can find out....
The 1860 census shows Riley Dozier at 5 years old living in the William Riley household. The 1870 census shows him at
15, still living in the household and working there as a farm labor.The 1880 census shows him to be 25 and still residing in the Abbott household. Also indicated that his occupation was that as a U.S. gunner.
William Riley died in 1881 and I have no other information on Riley Dozier.

Hope to hear from you. Vicki Baxter

Lee:

Sorry, that my Riley Dozier appears to be no connection with yours. It is interesting that the name is the same.
I am sorry to say that I do not have a copy of the whole census. I copied only information off on my family name when in the Camden County library.

I reside in Iowa but my parents live in Virginia and North
Carolina so I fly back a couple of times a year. Will not be returning until first of August but will be doing some research. If you have anything you would like me to look up, let me know....... I enjoy the "search and the find".

McPherson Family

I'm trying to find where Hugh Thomas McPherson came from. He appears in Columbus County in 1833, apparently born between 1807- 1812. Does anyone have a Hugh in their lines?
