old marriage application

TomCheek99 — 2009-11-08 22:34:18Z

hello- i have a copy of a marriage application dated december 1860. this marriage states that one thousand dollars will be paid to the state of north carolina. i do not understand this. the copy states that "W>D Royal hath made application for a license of marriage to celebrate between him and E.J. Groce.of the county aforesaid [yadkin].
the next statement is; "Now in case it shall not appear that there is any lawful cause or impediment to obstruct said marriage, then the above obligation to be void---other wise to remain in full force and virtue".
this document was signed by w.d. royal and wm. Royal.
attested by;J.G. Jr--oilary[cannot read last name here]

Is there any one out there that has a clue to the meaning of this document or know any thing about the people involved? Wiley D Royall and E>J Groce are parents of my grandmother Martha Jane Royal.
Thank you for any help

I am searching for the family of Henryetta Hubboard or Hubbard born in 1830 in North Carolina. I am not sure of the County. Henryetta was in Mississippi in 1850 -1910. She married and had 12 children. One of her daughters is my great grandmother, Fanny. Henryetta is also referred to as Ritter or Retta. She lived in Choctaw and Webster County Mississippi.

I found the following in the book, "German Speaking People West of the Catawba River in North Carolina 1750-1800", written by Lorena Shell Eaker.

Jacob Nicodemus Mosteller b.27 Oct 1813 Lincoln Co., NC d.30 Sept 1879 possibly Randolph Co., AL; married 12 Sept 1837 Lincoln Co., NC to Mary Roden, b.ca 1812, d.ca 1880 AL

The Clark's in NC are the Indian side. Carl Clark is my great grand Father. My mom knows more than I but Hopefully that will help in your search. My Aunt Patricia Hunt is/ was on the board for the lumbee tribe in Robenson county. However in some of our research we have come to learn. the Clark name is On the Cherokee roll's and From the sensus we have they stated they where Cherokee.

Re: Losson/Lawson Baker Born In N. C., 1805

kentuckboy97 — 2009-10-25 14:00:09Z

Hi: I am wondering if you have any information on who Losson/Lawson Baker's parents may have been, and where in North Carolina he was born? Also, I would like any information on his siblings if any.

My mother was a first cousin of his descendants, who were the children of George & Martha (Rice) Baker, of Nodaway County. I recently became acquainted with a gr-grandson of George & Martha and am trying to help him with information on Losson/Lawson Baker.

Any help you could provided would be most appreciated. Thank you! Dennis

RonCollins10 — 2009-10-24 17:35:43Z

Tom

One thing that I might add is that you state you have a marriage application for W.D. Royal and Eliza J. dated dec 1860. I find that they married Dec 7 1866 ??

This would have been after the death of her first husband John Gross!

Re: Stephen Warner

Hi Judy,
I am a Merritt researcher. I have information only on the family of Benjamin Warner 1779-1857 who married Ruth Merritt 1783-1867 and, according to "the letter" had 5 daughters and 2 sons (by 1819, the date of "the letter"). I have the details for 3 daughters (2 b. in 1820's; 1 before 1820) and 1 son born in 1820's and a possible son born prior to 1820. I am searching for any other children...Most of my info on Warner's comes from your info posted on other boards (sometimes by other researchers) and from "the letter". I am going with Benjamin's father as Thomas...some show Stephen...is Thomas correct?
If you want info on Benjamin and Ruth's family and descendants, let me know. I am happy to share.

Dear Keepers of the Boards,

I have found what happened to my family. They resettled to the Watauga Settlement along with other members of the Adkins family. Six young families in all. They got mixed up in the struggles going on there between Dragging Canoes people and new settlers, and many of them were killed in 1790. I am still interested in how my grandma survived the attack that killed her parents, but that's a subject for another posting, so you can take this posting down.

Thanks for helping,

Joyce

KEAHEY

annwarner21 — 2009-10-21 10:45:22Z

Searching for father of George A. Keahey (b.1832 NC, d. 1911, Erath Co., TX). James was his father, probably born in NC around 1787. Probably came to TX with one of his sons - John P. , Elijah John, Archie or George A. James was the son of James (b.1749 possibly Ireland, and died 1823, Wayne Co., MS) James (b. around 1787) was married to Lydia Autrey. Would appreciate hearing from anyone researaching this line.

Re: KEAHEY

berush4fun — 2009-10-21 03:41:32Z

I have a Mary Keahey born 14 May 1787 in Richmond, North Carolina, USA and died 26 Aug 1822 in Wayne Co. MS. I dont have any information on any of her relatives but I would think the chances of her being related to the people you are searching for is certainly high.

Descendants of Benjamin Bennett Graves & Synthia Sellars!

Martin_Graves — 2009-10-03 01:19:00Z

The site is about the descendants of Benjamin Bennett Graves and his wife Synthia Sellars. Benjamin Bennett Graves was born in Montgomery Co., North Carolina in 1831, and Synthia Sellars was born in Chesterfield Co., South Carolina in abt. 1832. Their marriage was short lived, as Benjamin Bennett Graves is thought to have died in service to his southern heritage in abt. 1865, and then Synthia raised her children in Chesterfield Co., South Carolina. These six children, with descendants listed on site, gave rise to the large Graves clan that inhabited central and western Chesterfield County as well as Union and Anson Counties of North Carolina - and beyond

Re: McGinnis' of Lincoln County, NC or Gaston County

margarettreece — 2009-09-02 11:18:14Z

I have been seeing all the messeages posed on the McGinnis message board and I am not certain if any are connected to my McGinnis but I thought I would give you a bit of info on my McGinnis. All I know is that at one time my Grandfather, William Calvin McGinnis was from Gaston County b) 1858 and worked in a cotten mill in Gastonia or Gaston County, NC. He married a lady who was previously married in 1878 named Fannie Gillaspy Ingle/Engle. From her first marriage she had a daughter named Sally. They moved to Union County, Monroe, NC unknown when. Fannie died approxly 1900-1902 of cancer and he remarried Florence Ann Pope in 1902 and became a salesman for the Singer Sewing Machine Company, His parents were, I believe, Alburtus McGinnis and mother Rachel Ramsey.

photos and info needed for NC Coast

boz12157 — 2009-09-05 16:48:59Z

I am working on a project that involves the history and architect of the coast of NC. It begins at the farthest northern point (Knotts Island area) to the most southern point (Sunset Point area). I am including the inner banks which would include east of Hwy 13/17 starting at Corapeake traveling south towards Washington on Hwy 17 towards New Bern, Wilmington, and Shallotte going all the way to Carolina Shores (it’s near Calabash).

I am looking for pictures of old buildings of the past that are no longer with us. For my project I need architectural detailed exterior features as well as interior details. To name a few examples of what I am looking for is: the Lumina at Wrightsville Beach, the Casino and the Tap Room that was in the northern OBX, the old railroad station across from the Masonic Lodge or the old Country Club, Edenton Restaurant (Mrs. Boswell’s it was later called) or Sandy Pt buildings that were in Edenton, , etc. These are just a few in the area I am where I grew up or lived. This is the architectural part of the project.

What's difference about my project is I am looking for people or a person preferably in the foreground of the picture of the long last building. You can include a picture of the building without person(s) too if you want. The person(s) hopefully is someone you know such as a relative or a friend or even a foe living or not with us anymore. If the picture is old enough, I feel sure there will be a lot of the latter. The end project will be more personal for you if it does include family or friends. If there is someone in the photo that “just happened” to get in it that you don’t know, that will be ok, just say so. Who knows; someone else helping with project might recognize this “unknown!

And the last requirement for my project is that you can tell me as much about the person(s) and the building (that is gone now) in the picture. Telling me what you know is the BIG history part of this project.

So start going thru/ your old photo albums, your family/friends’ photo albums and talk with each other. Enjoy your time reminiscing, laughing, crying and being with each other or just your own memories. This Labor Day if you are getting together with family and friends it would be a great time to start. It may be a picture you or someone else took on vacation while in the Coastal area of NC. So for that reason, would you please pass this along to others who could, can or wants to help me that would be wonderful? The more people, buildings, history and architectural details gathered and involved the better and the merrier.

This is a lot to take on, so I want you to know this is a long term project for me. I will be giving you an update throughout the process. I hope to complete this within 3 to 6 or 6 to 12 months. It will depend on how much help and info I receive from you & others.

You can email me the information or any questions you have at boz12157@gmail.com or mail it to Debra B. Phelps, H & A Project Mgr., and PO Box 804, Edenton, NC.

Let me just say in advance, “Thank you” for your help. I look forward to hearing from and working you on one fantastic project that I know we all will enjoy.

Have fun and happy reminiscing,
Debra

Sarah Turmire/Turnmire Simmons

TracySimmons115 — 2009-10-10 17:45:05Z

I'm trying to find my great-great-grandfather's (James Simmons b. 1837 in NC) wife. Here's what I know.
1. They were married between 1860-1865. I know this because James was at home with his parents in the 1860 Census and his first child was born in 1865.
2. I know James Simmons wife died between 1871-1880. I know this because James Simmons last child was born in 1871 and James Simmons and his children were living with his parents in a NC 1880 Census.
3. I also found a marriage record (but can't view all info) for the marriage of James Simmons and Sarah Turnmire in 1862 in NC

I have been searching for slave information on My great great great great great grandfather David Marvell, who's father was Jerry Marvel born in Tenn. in 1834 and married a Maragert Wormly in 1866. But when I get to Marvels in Tenn. I cam up with a white slave owner who owned a lot of slaves and their names are lost to history. Jerry may have had two brothers Henry, Joe or John. Joe may have been Jerry's dad or older brother. Jerry later had a son named Allen with another woman.
If any of this rings a bell or if you want more information please contact me. Check out my family tree. I would love to talk to you either way.

Re: Thad C. Phillips

Joyce1812va1 — 2009-09-08 14:59:56Z

With Thad's dob being so long ago, children were not listed in the much earlier census.
I did a 1820 and 1830 NC census check...
only One Phillips family showed up in 1830/
house of Brick Phillips... Moore, NC.. Brick did have a marking for one sone age 5-10 and another son marked for 10-15

1830 there were four households in Lenoir NC which could be
thad's household.
Markings for son 10-15 in each of these households
PHILLIPS;
John T
Bolling
Peter
Nancy

you may never find the true family of Thad.
have no idea of what happened to the Brick Phillips family in 1830.

the assuring thing is that Phillips was not a well known family in the 1820-1830 NC census.
showing only 1 for 1820 and then 4 ten years later helps to trim the searching.
Still, without concrete records, you may not find such as what you are searching.

Bryant (or Briant) Bradley, born abt 1796 in NC

JBJ1299 — 2009-09-25 15:26:03Z

I am trying to find out who James J. Bradley’s (aka "Jim") father was. I have some evidence that leads me to believe his father's name was Bryant (sometimes spelled Briant) Bradley. He married Elizabeth Sparrow in Pulaski County, GA, 4 Apr 1816. Bryant was born in NC and Elizabeth was born in GA, according to the 1850 Bibb County, GA Census. But I don't have any sources that show who their children were-if James was even his child-a death date for Bryant, or where in NC Bryant was born. What I do know about James Bradley is that he and Mary "Polly" Bray were married 27 Nov 1845 in Georgia, and they lived the rest of their life in Sumter County, GA. He was born Oct 1821 in GA and died Mar 1862. All this information was in my MIL’s “Bradley Family Bible” that was originally Mary Bray’s and then went to Lucinda Melissa Hardin Bradley (she married their son Berry Robert Bradley, Jan 1880). The only source I’ve found on James Bradley, besides the Family Bible, was an 1850 Sumter Co, GA census. I also found land transactions involving Bryant Bradley and James Bradley in Sumter County, GA around 1851, on microfilm at the Lake Blackshear Library in Americus, GA. I have to go to the courthouse to get a copy of those and hopefully they will give me some little detail I can move forward with! Also, James and Mary’s first child was named William Bryant Bradley. I would love to find out if James is Bryant’s and Elizabeth’s son, who their children were, who Bryant’s parents were, or where in NC Bryant came from. I would be so grateful for any information, no matter how small! Thanks for reading my very long post! joshua99@friendlycity.net

Re: Thad C. Phillips

hillgranny — 2009-09-08 15:47:12Z

Thank you so much for your efforts. We had no clue as to even what county in NC he came from, so we had nothing to begin with. Even a dna test of a male cousin didn't show any close relationship to any of the Phillips's who had done theirs also.

Our family was talking about the slaves being accounted for more than the family back before 1860.

We know of no family records surviving their Longview, Ashley County, Arkansas residency during the last half of the 19th century/ early 20th century, and we have no contact with anyone descended from his children other than my own grandfather, David Mathew Phillips. With so many misspellings and transcription errors, it gets frustrating - like one of my grandfather's marriage record being indexed as "S. M.", rather than D. M.

Thank you for your contribution. We appreciate any and every little hint.

Re: Mahalia Sherwood, born 1770 in North Carolina

crabapple54 — 2009-10-07 06:33:11Z

Dear Chief Rolling Thunder Justice,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to my posting. My grandparents died in 1790 in North Carolina (sadly I don't have much family information that would give me the names of other Adkins that might have made it to rolls some years later). I'm thinking they must have been killed because they were 20 & 35 years old respectively, and if they died do to some desease probably their 2 year old daughter Jemima wouldn't have survived. Do you know what was going on in NC in 1790 that might account for their deaths? If there were "retaliations" in villages at that time it might help me pinpoint where in NC they lived. Are there no records besides government lists? I wonder who took Jemima and raised her. I'm hoping their story is not lost.
Thanks again for responding and for any other info you may have.

They had a daughter, Jemima Adkins and possibly a son Thomas Sherwood Adkins. Jemima Adkins married John Delk, their daughter Eda Delk is my gr gr gr grandma. Do you know anything about their lives? I am especially interested in my Cherokee heritage and I believe it is connected to these grandmas.

Yes that is correct, I entered WVA, vs Ohio. However, that being said, the family did come from Virginia around Shepardstown, in the Martinsburg Area, today WVA. My understanding is that Thomas was the fathers name, but has never been verified. The sisters of Stephen, Thomas and Benjamin and Samuel were Magdalena, Jammima, Maratha, Anna (Nancy)married to Jacob Loch/Lough and Jane married to Nicholas Houser or Howser. The mother who married (2). Samuel Fitch, and he was also from that part of Va/WVA.

My understanding is that Stephen did return after the letter was written but disappeared some years later. An article written by W.D. Howser for the Texas Centenniel in 1936, was quite interesting about this family.

I would be interested in what you have to share about Stephen.

Thanks
