Samuel B. Jones - Shiloh, Camden

kmcpherson — 30 Jun 2008 3:13:15 GMT

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.

Seeking information on any and all Gilden / Gilding families in Camden County prior to 1850.

Lost Colony Project

RobertaEstes13 — 6 Aug 2007 5:31:34 GMT

Is your family part of the Roanoke Lost Colony? It could be! My name is Roberta Estes and I’m the Director for DNA Research for the Lost Colony Center for Science and Research. (www.lost-colony.com) Our goal is to discover the fate of the Roanoke Lost Colonists.

For those of you who don’t know about the mystery of the Lost Colony, here’s a primer. In 1587, Sir Walter Raleigh financed a venture in which 116 men, women and children were planning to establish the first permanent colony in the New World. Their goal was to raise tobacco and other supplies that colonists were unable to obtain in England, and to search for precious minerals, like gold.

In the fall of 1587, the colonists finally arrived on Roanoke Island in present day North Carolina, after a very difficult journey in which their food supplies were ruined. They sent John White, whom they had elected governor, back to England to obtain food and supplies and expected his return in the spring of 1588. However, the Spanish attached England and England, having no Navy, impressed all of her fishing vessels and private merchant ships into Naval service. Finally, in 1590, three years after leaving the colonists which included his daughter, son-in-law and infant granddaughter, he returned to Roanoke Island to find it deserted, but not destroyed. It appeared as if the colonists had simply moved. A single word, a clue, Croatan, was carved on a tree. The Croatan were the friendly Indians living nearby. Before John’s departure, he had instructed the colonists to carve crosses if they had to leave in distress. There were no crosses.

John White would spend the rest of his life searching for the Lost Colonists. Many hints and clues indicate that at least some of the Colonists survived and were assimilated into the native tribes. The question is, did they, and if so, who are they today?

In 1993, the original site of the Croatan village was located. Subsequent archaeological and genealogical research suggests that the colonists did survive, and that when the land was granted to settlers, it was granted to some of those survivors who were by that time considered to be Indians. With recent advances in DNA for genealogy, we finally have, today, the ability to solve the mystery. We have created a plan that combines history, genealogy and DNA to solve the mystery. However, we can’t do this alone. We need the help of the families who have been identified as “families of interest”, being either roster members of the Lost Colony of those who obtained land grants on the original Croatan village site. Many of those names are the same.

In order to educate people and work closely with people who are interested, we are sponsoring the Lost Colony Symposium for DNA and Recent Research Sept. 7-9, 2007 at the Lost Colony Center in Williamston, NC. The symposium will be held between the Center and the Holiday Inn, as noted on the flyer at http://www.lost-colony.com/DNAsymflyer.html.

Given that your surname is one of those on our “Names of Interest” list, I hope that people on the list will join with us in our research. I am hoping from this mailing, aside from encouraging people to attend the Symposium, to achieve the following:

1. To identify a primary research person or persons for your particular surname who would serve as a contact/coordinator for future postings, requests and research.
2. To identify a family archival website(s) if one exists.
3. To identify if there are any families of that surname that are from NC (or early coastal SC or VA), have oral histories of Indian or "mixed" heritage, are involved with any of the tri-racial isolate groups (Melungeons, Red Bones, etc.) and/or have any oral history of the Lost Colonies.
4. To determine if the family group is involved already with DNA testing, and if so, who coordinates that effort.
5. To determine if there is any research occurring or that has occurred for your surname in Great Britain, and if not, if anyone is interested in pursuing that avenue.

To become involved with the Lost Colony project, or to support the project, please attend our Symposium. Our project plan will be announced at the Symposium, and we have a long list of wonderfully educational speakers. Bring your pedigree charts and your genealogy as the right people will be present to help you with your testing plan.

If you can’t attend the conference, you can still join the project. Information will be posted shortly about how to do that on the Lost Colony website. We are in the process of setting us a private newsgroup for project members only which will also be available after the symposium.

Here are some important links. Check the website or the blog for the full list of colonists and don’t miss our flyer about the symposium Sept. 7-9 in Williamston, NC.

Our blog is at http://www.the-lost-colony.blogspot.com/. You can read about the project and ask questions of those involved.

Our website is at www.lost-colony.com and lots of info is there as well.

Cyrus Wiley Grandy & Ann Lamb Dozier

ret_talbot — 13 Jun 2007 4:33:58 GMT

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,

Adelia Pendleton Lamb/ maybe Burgess

gangi70 — 9 Jan 2006 6:25:27 GMT

Adelia Pendleton married Henry Clay Lamb 1903, Pasquotank Co., he was s/o Miles Dauge Lamb & Matilda Marietta Grandy. Adelia & Henry are on the 1900 and 1910 Camden Co Census, but then on the
1920 neither are there, BUT there is a Adelia Burgess
married to Arthur K Burgess on both the 1920 and 1930 Camden Co Census.
Also the death index shows Adelia P Burgess died
2 May 1936 Camden, B abt 1863, which would be
correct for Adelia Pendleton Lamb, if she did marry
Burgess after Henry died apparently prior to 1920.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

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?

Isaac Murden - early 1800's

Bob — 29 Mar 2006 2:12:53 GMT

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.

starsandbarsVIII — 10 Oct 2002 2:16:04 GMT

JOHN FORBES DEED 23 APRIL 1719

John 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, John, 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".

***********************************

"...in consideration of the love and good affection I bear towards my loveing sons viz James Forbes, jun, Bailey Forbes, Thomas Forbes and Edward Forbes having given...one hundred acres of land to each son, that is for the first three sons & to the youngest 132, as I shall now mention. I give to my son James 100 acres of land on which he is now situated, called by the name of Beaver Dam Neck, & to my son Bailey 100 acres of land, called Great Neck and Little Neck , & to my son Thomas 100 acres of land called Poplar Neck & to my son Edward I give the Manor Plantation with 132 Acres thereunto belonging after his father and mother decease, & also I give unto my son Bailey a young blk heifer & her furture increase when he is situated on his land; but he must bear the loss in the mean time...
30 March 1719 signed James I Forbus.

SIMPSON, Robert L.? or John? - Photo

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.

Thomas Forbes b. about 1862

Bob — 13 Jul 2005 3:28:11 GMT

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.

John Gregory, 1793-1878

Karl MacEachron — 12 Aug 2005 4:52:40 GMT

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.

Luke Lamb 1734-1822

SLamb0508cancel — 20 Jan 2003 2:20:25 GMT

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

The last mention I can find of it is in 1823.

Caleb Staples Forbes

jeneldridge1 — 30 Nov 2004 3:09:12 GMT

I'm looking for the parents of my 2nd Great Grandfather, Caleb Staples Forbes.

His Obit states that he is the son of the late John and Ann Staples Forbes but that is all I know about them.

In trying to piece together his childhood this is all I found:

The 1870 United States Federal Census, Court House, Camden, North Carolina lists a Caleb FORBES, Age 6. Caleb is living in the home of William Dozier, Farmer age 45 and Caroline, Keeping House age 22. Also listed on this same page but in another home is an Ann Forbes, Domestic age 30 (perhaps Caleb's mother?) Althought occupdation lists domestic, she was the Head of Household. Also listed is Mary Forbes age 2.

1880 Court House, Camden, North Carolina Census lists Caleb FORBES, Age 16, Occupation: Farm Laborer.
Caleb is living in the home of his Mother's cousin, Jesse D. Dozier. His mother Ann, widowed, is also in the home. Jessie's aunt Sallie Dozier also is in the home.

If anyone knows of a John Forbes who Married Ann Staples please contact me. Any single bit of information would be greatly appreciated. They would have been married about 1860 - 1864. Their exact ages are unknown but it seems Ann would have been born about 1840.

Any information on the parentsof William Dozier Sr and the last name of his wife Nancy would be greatly appreciated.

William was a farmer and lifelong resident of Shiloh Twp, Camden County, NC. He was born in 1805 and was married to Nancy UNKNOWN born abt 1810

They had 4 children: Elizabeth Abt 1840, William Jr Abt 1846, Thomas Abt 1848 & Julia Abt 1862

Nancy dies sometime after Julia's birth - I think rather soon - William did not remarry.

Julia is my great great grandmother. Any little thing would help, even just general information on the Dozier line.
