I am researching many families in the Polk County, NC area. My primary interest is in the ARLEDGE family and associated families; I'm writing a book on this family's history (see my ARLEDGE Family History web site). I'm trying to document all descendants of any Arledges. My line is Amos, Jonathan (m. Harriett), Greenberry (m. Sarah HOLBERT), John Pinckney (m. Elizabeth RUCKER), John Aden (m. Laura WALDROP), John Thomas (m. Lura NASH)....I'm also working on the ancestors and descendants of John and Sarah Steel HOLBERT/HALBERT (and their son Benjamin HOLBERT m. Charity STOVER, dau. of Jacob STOVER). I'm tracing my WALDROP line back through Joseph T., Robert, and several generations of Jeckonias's to Luke WALDROP of Virginia. Mystery ancestor Samuel M.S. HUNTER (m. Sophia Jane WEAVER). I'm descended from Peter RUCKER of VA through Wm, Mordecai, William Martin and Wm. Henry.

Also related to the MORRIS, GRAY, DICKEY and McCLUNG families: trying to find the origins of Tryon Resolves signer and Rev. soldier John MORRIS (d. 1780); son Thomas and his son Churchwell. Ancestor William HANNON survived Indian Massare on Pacolet River in 1776, m. Phoebe DICKERSON. Ancestor GEORGE WILLIAMS (d. 1869) m. Abigail BRADEN (d/o Robert); I descend from both Pulaski BRADEN WILLIAMS (first Sheriff of Polk County) and Mahulda HANNON WILLIAMS (m. Francis A. WEAVER).

There's more, but I'll stop here. *Please* contact me if you have information on any of these family names! Thanks--s--

Am also working on the line of Robert Baden and George Williams. These are two of my wife's lines. She descends from Adeline Williams who married Jessee Rhodes.

Can we swap info?

Thanks,

Tom Atkinson

Hoping you have a Laura B. Williams, b. 1871 and Nancy Williams b. 1875 and others of family. Laura m. James Kincaid and Nancy m. Stovall. Both were orphans in 1880 Sharp Co, Ark and living with McHalffey family (wife in family, Martha Kincaid McHalffey was James Kincaid's sister). They all ended up in Craighead Co, Ark. Laura's parents on one census states b. TN on a later one states Nova Scotia (error?)
Any help appreciated.

I have been reading some old message boards and have found several references to Churchwell Morris. This is my Great Grandfather and I would love to exchange info on him. I am trying to find his father, as I have 2 or 3 different names! If any one can help, I would really appreciate it.
