LLEN / DAVIS

Jane Goodwin July 25, 2007

Seeking any information on Frederick ALLEN in Hyde and Beaufort Co. First appearance 1810 Hyde Co. census showing 1 male (16-26) and 1 female (16-26). Frederick would have been twenty-three years old as he was born 17 Dec. 1787 on the east coast of Ireland. On the 1820 Beaufort Co. census Frederick is shown with wife, one daughter, 10-16 (Elizabeth / Betsy) and four sons under ten: Randall, Martin, John Henry and William Spencer. In 1824 another son, Seth was born. Some say his wife was Clarissa DAVIS but this is undocumented. The wife had died by 1834 and Frederick and children were in Williamson Co. IL by 1840. Frederick's parents were John ALLEN and Mary DAVIS. Family records say "the Davis's, Everetts, Carters and Allen's whose families were more or less intermarried came to the U.S. from Ireland and settled on Pungo River, Beaufort Co., NC". Somehow, the PAUL surname is connected to the Davis' in Hyde and Beaufort Cos. also. I believe William DAVIS (will probated 1803) and Elizabeth DAVIS (will Feb. 1814) were the grandparents of Frederick. In the will of John DAVIS 2nd of Beaufort Co. he mentions a daughter Clarecy /Clarrisa ALLEN. Does anyone know who she married?? Any info on any of these families will be so appreciated.

AURORA (town of)

Rae Jean June 13, 2008

I am interested in developing a history of the stores or business interests that were at one time a part of the landscape on the "ole Main Street" of Aurora. My interests are in both the names of stores / businesses and the names of their owners. My plan is to place this information online so that we can all walk down memory lane. Please contact me if you have information you wish to share. You have an advantage if you now live in the area of Aurora. Please talk with your friends, relatives and neighbors to find out what they remember about "going to town." Aurora will forever have a special place in my heart.

Sandra Ross November 7, 2006

I am researching William Samuel BAILEY who married Cornelia Ann (Annie) LILLY/LILLEY. 1800 to present. William Samuel BAILEY 's father was Isaac BAILEY. Cornelia Ann (Annie) LILLY/LILLEY's parents were James LILLY/LILLEY and Martha WOODWARD.

BAILEY, died when age one, Mary Myrtle BAILEY, Eugene Mayo BAILEY, and William Herman BAILEY. William Samuel BAILEY and Cornelia Ann (Annie) LILLY/LILLEY were married on 21 Dec. 1876 Long Acre, Beaufort County NC. Any help would be most appreciated.

BARROW / CULLUM

William Freeman May 9, 2006

I am helping a friend research her family, and one of her ancestors is John BARROW from the Beaufort/Hyde Co. area. He was born about 1789 and died in Monroe Co., Iowa in 1876, buried in Trussell Cemetery (no headstone), where he is incorrectly listed as a Civil War veteran. His family said (in a 1906 book on northern Idaho) that he was a veteran of the War of 1812. One of his sons ended up in Clearwater Co., Idaho, after living in Holt Co, NE, in the mid-1880s. He was in Ohio (don't know where) and married in the 1830s, moving to Tazewell Co., IL, in the late 1830s. His wife, who according to the family was Sarah CULLUM, died about 1845, and a few years later he moved his family to Iowa. I am trying to pin down his line of descent, plus information on his time in NC. By his age, I wonder if there was an earlier wife in NC and other children; when he moved to Ohio; and whether there were other stops before Ohio. William H. Freeman, Buies Creek, NC.

I'm interested in any knowledge of the two "BOSTONS" listed on the 1790 Heads of Household, Newburn District, Hyde Co. Census pg.139. They are listed under the "All Other Free Persons" column.

I'm also requesting info on Israel and Thomas PIERCE (Machapunga / Mattamuskeet Indian ??). They're listed in Tyrrell Co., Edenton District in 1790 "Free Colored", but it's believed they were from Hyde Co. Any info on any of the above would be greatly appreciated.
