peter hood

showard175 — 2013-03-21 16:25:27Z

Cheryl Hood-Davis, I saw your post for Peter Hood (3 Jan.2000), would like very much to connect with you. I'm also looking for Peter, for we think he was brother to my Great-grandfather Thomas A. Hood. There were three Hoods in Davie in the 1850's, Peter, Thomas and William, and they had to be related.

Please e-mail me at: showard@yadtel.net

William Carter Brown family

ElizHarris — 2013-03-06 01:24:04Z

I would like to contact descendants of William Carter Brown (1828-1862), who moved from Caswell Co. NC to Davie Co. I would be willing to sponsor a Y-DNA-37 test at Family Tree DNA for a male-line descendant, and would like to confer with any descendants, male or female.

Re: Cemetery look up

PatsyVA — 2013-03-03 16:51:59Z

Thank you. I found a DAR record citing burial in Davie County, NC with no proof provided. I believe that record to be wrong, but I cannot find anything in Carroll County, KY that shows a burial. REV Coker went there from Eaton's Baptist and founded a church. He had married Jincy while at Eaton's and all indications are that his widowed mother-in-law moved to KY with the Coker family.

E. H. ( Edwin Henry) Morris

stanleyh41 — 2013-02-23 14:57:20Z

Looking for any information on E. H. Morris. I am on a committee planning the centennial of the town of Newland in Avery County. When the town was incorporated in 1913 one of the aldermen first appointed was E. H. Morris. I can find no information on him in Avery County except for his name on some deeds from 1912 which list him as being from Davie County. The 1910, 1920, and 1930 census for Davie County list a E. H. Morris that I think was the alderman in Newland. Any help would be appreciated

Re: William Tacket

shelbyhand58 — 2013-01-15 03:49:07Z

Are you sure about the date of death for this William Tackett, b 1809? My gr-grandfather, Alexander C. Tackett, b abt 1815-1820, NC, had a supposed brother William Tackett, b 1809, NC who left NC with his family and lived in MO in later census records.

Re: William Tackett

shelbyhand58 — 2013-01-15 03:46:14Z

There is a William Tackett, b 1809, in KY census, also that I do not believe is the same William Tackett. "My" William Tackett was born in NC and migrated from there after 1860, eventually ending up in MO. I believe the William Tackett, b 1809, KY, is son of William "Preacher Billy" Tackett, b NC. I believe that there were two William Tacketts, b 1809, but could be wrong. Will check some more.

Re: Thomas Parker 1840 Davie County North Carolina Census

BQuinton3623 — 2012-11-01 13:35:05Z

CLARIFICATION: Martha Coulter was not EVER a Parker. Martha Ann Parker on the 1850 census as the daughter of John C.Parker and Mary Ann is one and the same as Hester Myrick on the 1860 census listed just below John C. and Polly Ann Parker. She is also the same as the Harriett Myrick listed in the same household as her brother David H. Parker on the 1870 San Saba census. Why she took her cousin's name when she married Myrick only she knows. The true Hester Ann Parker daughter of Thomas G. and Charlotte Perkins Parker married a Campbell.

Re: William Tackett

shelbyhand58 — 2012-10-16 23:51:56Z

Hi: William Tackett, b abt 1809, NC was married to Sarah (Sally) Hall and moved with his children from NC to MO, etc. I do have some census records for this family. I believe William was brother of Alexander C., Lewis and Samuel Tackett, all b NC, but do not know name of their father.

Re: William Tackett

shelbyhand58 — 2012-10-16 23:48:25Z

Hi. I believe the William Tackett you referred to may be the brother of my gr-grandfather, Alexander C. Tackett, b abt 1820, NC. I am trying to determine parentage of Alexander C. Tackett. In your info about William Tackett, do you have anything indicating father's name? Thank you.

Joppa Cemetary

dobro3 — 2012-09-15 17:58:02Z

Some of the headstones in Joppa Cemetary are missing or illegible. There should be an old inventory of the people who are interred there, perhaps by the DAR or WPA. Are you aware of such an inventory?

Re: Drew Smith, died 1844

DavidGammon — 2012-09-13 12:32:48Z

Thank you for this. From the date of the marriage (1842) and three children by 1845, I am now wondering if Mary Ann was the mother of all three children! I know she contested the will.

Drew Smith's roots go back to Halifax County, NC.

Thanks again.

Re: Drew Smith, died 1844

ElizHarris — 2012-09-13 12:11:10Z

Drew Smith married Mary Ann Jacobs, 20 Oct 1842, Rowan Co. marriage bond date. From Jo White Linn's abstracts of Davie county wills, his will was dated 3 Jan 1845 and probated in February 1845, Davie Co. will book 1:65. It names his wife Mary and Uncle Daniel Warner. His estate was divided on 10 Aug 1847, Davie deed 2:598, for widow Mary Ann Smith with her dower 16.5 acres. The commissioners are named, but not his children.

Following the deed records further down might tell you what happened to the family.

Drew Smith, died 1844

Seeking more info on Drew Smith, who died testate in Davie County in 1844. He had a wife Mary Ann _____ and three underage children: Mary Ann Smith, Margaret Smith, and Sarah Smith. He was originally from Rowan County, and it is possible this family moved back there.

ellis family

showard175 — 2012-07-09 19:07:01Z

I'm looking for someone who has done reseach on the Ellis family of Davie and Surry counties. Issac W. Ellis bs. 1807 in Rowan and died in 1880 in Davie, m. to Temperance Smith, his father Issac Ellis, mother Elizabeth Railsback. Also any Ellis in Surry Co, N. C. who lived around New Hope, Dobson between 1820 and 1840.

Does anyone have the apprentice bonds of Surry of the period? Would be most grateful for any help lyou might provide.

Cemetery look up

PatsyVA — 2012-07-07 19:46:44Z

I read in Frank Furches's book on the family that Susannah Horn Furches went to KY after Tobias Furches died with Rev Isaac Coker and her daughter Jincy Furches Coker. That would have placed Susannah as dying in Carroll County, KY between 1836, when they left NC and 1840, when Isaac lists no elderly female on his KY census.
However, I see on line that there is a burial mentioned for Susannah Horn Furches in 1839 in Davie County. If anyone knows of the location of her burial and the information from a stone, please let me know. If I know where the stones are, I would make an attempt to come from GA and photograph them. Prior to this I thought Tobias Furches died in NC and Susannah in KY.

Re: Etchison Family

PatsyVA — 2012-04-16 00:59:39Z

I am descendant of Buly and John. They are buried at Smith Grove Cemetery in Davie County. She is daughter of William Atchison who moved from Norfolk, VA to NC and died there by his will of 1827. I am told that William's father wrote his will in longhand in Norfolk where he is buried and may have been an attorney. Beulah married John Williams in 1818 in Rowan County and had no less than 8 children. I have children for 6 of these. My ancestor from Buly and John Williams is Martha Williams Sheek. She married Daniel Sain Sheek and named a child Buly and one John. Daniel and Martha are listed in my DAR line. The person I would like to learn about is the child of Daniel Sain Sheek's first marriage who seems to have disappeared. I find his wife buried with her family in GA. The five surviving sons of Martha Williams and Daniel S. Sheek include my great grandfather and are well documented.

LITTLE SENTINELS

- During the Civil War Mr. A.M. Garwood, who lives near Fork Church, was shot in the hip in a skirmish near Hampton, Va. This was in 1864 and Mr. Garwood has walked with a cane since that day, and has carried that bullet in his hip. Wednesday Dr. J.K. Pepper removed the bullet after it had been imbedded in Mr. Garwood's flesh for nearly 48 years. ---Mocksville Herald

Jacob Keller family Cemetery

claykeller_1 — 2011-10-03 03:46:14Z

Does anyone have an idea where the Jacob Keller family cemetery is located.
The Jacob Keller farm was located just West of current day Mocksville. Bear creek bordered the east side of the Keller farm. I have a theory that the family cemetery could be located around current day Mocksville lake or Martins Lake, as those appear to be located at the northen end of where the Keller farm was.

It would be pretty small, around 1/4 an acre. It was supposedly the last piece of land that the Keller's did not sell from the land according the research I have seen. Just looking for any clues.

I am looking for info on Rectors in Davie County. My husbands ggrandfather was William Peter Rector, born in Davie county. As a boy he left and went to Fountain County Indiana, and after marrying he settled in Iowa. I am trying to find out his father and mother. Thru unconfirmed hints I have as his parents George Rector and Mary Polly Riddle, but was hoping for some type on confirmation. Does anyone know, or can you direct me in my search.
