Frances,

According to my Family Tree Maker software, my wife is a 2nd cousin 3 times removed to Fannie Dills-- not a close relative but in the family nevertheless. I have done quite a bit of work on my wife's Dills family and would love to correspond with you to compare information.

Where your line goes back to John Dills, son of Bartlett and Susan Henson Dills, my wife is descended from John's brother Peter according to my records and from there through another Bartlett, Bartlett J. Dills and his son Richard Allen Dills.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Re: Cullowhee Cemetery

I don't have a copy of the Jackson County cemetery book yet, but expect to get one in the next few months.

If you are able to go to Jackson County, Cullowhee Baptish Church, which is adjacent to the cemetery, is very easy to find. Look for a large brick church with a steeple adjacent to the Western Carolina University campus. (There are signs in the parking lot warning that it's not campus parking.)

The Johns Creek valley, which is off NC107, south of the campus, has at least one Coward cemetery. I found it by accident back in 2006. I was able to talk with some of the Cowards living by the cemetery. (I don't have any Cowards,
but we all had some Queens in the background.)

I haven't been in Jackson county since 2006 but hope to make it back there this coming summer.

DrMom68 — 2009-10-12 11:43:30Z

The Cemeteries of Jackson County, North Carolina, a publication of cemetery surveys accomplished by the Jackson County Genealogical Society, mentioned earlier in this thread is an excellent source. I have a copy and would be glad to look up specific ancestors for you. I have also done further research into relationships of those buried in Cullowhee Cemetery. The family names which you mention are not among those families with large numbers of family members buried there. However, as you probably know because of your query, there are a few gravesites with those names. I will contact you at your e-mail address. Barbara Smith

steinseifer7 — 2009-10-11 19:44:53Z

Thank you for your assistance. I will try to figure out the parents of this child.

Re: Glenville Cemetery

yellowswab — 2009-10-09 17:39:12Z

I found an R. A. Cunningham in the Locust Field Cemetery however, the dates are different. Jun 5, 1929 - Jun 6, 1929
There ar other Cunningham's buried there so probably belongs to them.

Re: Glenville Cemetery/ Cunninham

yellowswab — 2009-10-09 17:34:21Z

I am looking at the Jackson County Cemetery Census Book. It appears to be one grave. The marker has:

Infants Cunningham

C/O Harry, Lucy Cunningham

Re: Glenville Cemetery

CECarroll1945 — 2009-10-09 03:00:58Z

The other infant may be Robert A. Cunningham, born 30 Aug 1933, also a son of Harry. I have not been able to locate any death information on him.

Re: Glenville Cemetery

CECarroll1945 — 2009-10-09 02:50:29Z

Mildred was born and died on 3 Jul 1935, daughter of Harry and Lucy Cunningham. Were the infant graves seperate?

Re: Glenville Cemetery

yellowswab — 2009-10-08 21:49:26Z

I found:
Harry C Cunningham 1900-1979
Lucy R Cunningham 1901-1979
Infants Cunningham (two) no dates
All buried in the Hamburg Church Cemetery all in row 13 below the dividing road.
I found nothing on Mildred Rebecca Cunningham. I take it she never married?

Re: Glenville Cemetery

CECarroll1945 — 2009-10-08 17:00:51Z

I was looking for the grave of Mildred Rebecca Cunningham, died 3 July 1935 and her parents Harry Cunningham and Lucy Robinson.

Re: Glenville Cemetery

yellowswab — 2009-10-08 16:11:08Z

What is the name of the deceased? Most likely the answer is yes, but knowing the name perhaps the person's name can be located.

Solomon Frady & Margaret E. Frizzell

sheronco — 2009-10-08 04:18:40Z

I am looking for the parents of either or both of these individuals who were married 3/22/1845 in Macon Co, NC. They appeared in the 1850 Macon Co census, then in Jackson from 1860-1900. He was born March 1820 in Buncombe Co, NC and she was born September 1822 in Macon County, NC.

Thanks for any help that you can give.

I am trying to identify a cemetery listed on a Jackson County death certificate as Glenville. Would this be the Hamburg cemetery?

Re: SLATTEN

DrMom68 — 2009-09-14 14:45:06Z

Layne, Thank you so much for this inforfmation about Nancy Sauls, b. 1834 in Alabama.
This doesn't appear to be the Nancy Sauls Slatton being discussed in this thread. According to her gravestone in Tuckasegee Baptist Cemetery in Jackson Co., NC, Nancy Sauls Slatton was born in 1811. As we know, gravestones, death certificates, census records don't always match dates exactly. However, 23 years difference seems to be a stretch for Nancy Sauls Slatton, mother of Nancy Slatton Moody and Richard Dyre Tally Slatton. Barbara

There are several other gravesites with the Cowan Surname in the cemetery including 12 of the 17 gravesites listed in the same row as Cicero Cowan.

George Cardin

okiegirlup — 2009-07-26 15:45:55Z

I am looking for information on George Cardin. I know that he and a Martha Unk. had atleast 2 sons together but George and Martha were possibly never married. Their son: Luther Eugene Cardin was born 20 Mar 1916 Sylva, Jackson Co., NC. (per his obituary), and Kimsey Leo Cordin born 8 Jan 1919 Sylva, Jackson Co., NC. or AL. This is all the information I have on this family other than the son's spouses and some of their children. Would appreciate any help I could get with this familly

Re: George Cardin

okiegirlup — 2009-08-21 15:42:51Z

Thank you so much, Joyce! You have been a big help, atleast now I know where to search. Luther and Margie Cardin were my husband's grandparents. Their daughter is my mother-in-law and she didn't know where her father was born or who his father was. She is in a nursing home in Oregon and I am doing the research for her. She is going to be so excited. Thanks again.

Litaker / Laidacker / etc. DNA Project

Edmund1844 — 2009-09-01 01:32:58Z

Seeking DNA test participants. We are trying to establish genealogy links to the Litaker family. This surname is spelled a variety of ways including, but not limited to:

Litaker
Lidaker
Leidaker
Leideker
Leidecker
Laidacker
Laidaker

The 1790 Federal Census shows members of this family were living in Rowan and Mecklenburg Counties but members could have settled anywhere in North Carolina. Research leads us to believe members of this family were in Pennsylvania prior to North Carolina. However, there seems to be a horrible lack of documentation to prove ancestry – thus the DNA project. If the DNA matches, we will know we are on the right track. If it does not match, they we will know to look in other directions.

We hope to find male Litakers (and other similiar spellings) to take the Y-DNA67 test. We are using Family Tree DNA (www.FamilyTreeDNA) for the project.

If you would like more information about this new DNA project, please contact me.

Would you have any idea how Hillman Cicero Cowan died? He would only have been 30.

Hillman Cicero Cowan Jackson County NC

Re: Rachael A. Coward Alexander

gkcarson — 2009-07-11 17:48:00Z

Hi Gary,

I descend from David Carson born c1760 PA and wife Catherine of Buncombe/Haywood (Jackson, Caney Fork) NC through son Samuel Carson who married Nancy Queen. Another son, Matthew Carson born c1792-94 married second wife Elizabeth Betsy Coward in 1828.

Is that your Coward line?

I visited Caney Fork last year trying to find graves for Samuel and Nancy. She died 1880 Caney Fork. He died between 1856-1869 (they are missing in 1860...had moved to TX and moved back to NC c1857).

Re: Ensley Family

gkcarson — 2009-07-11 17:35:32Z

There was a James Endsley/Andrew Endsley family in Haywood NC 1800-1840, part of which became Jackson Co.

This family I think connects to the Endsley family in Guilford/Surry NC.

My Robert Carson line (son David Carson) in those counties connected indirectly with the Endsleys....probably circumstantial.

Re: Judean Ammons

Joshua sr. owned around 300 of land in Macon County. His son Alfred owned about400 acres in same area.

Joshua died in 1852 at age 88.

Alfred died in 1876 at age 66

I have no idea about original land remaining in the family.I would guess that none remains as land records show Alfred selling his land.

The descendents of Jameson Hall still live on original land on Savannah Creek in Jackson County.

Let me know if you have other questions.
