CANSLER

CANSLER (or any variation of this name) - Would like to know more of this
line - I'm stuck at John CANSLER, (b. 1780, S.C.) who may have originated
with the CANSELOR/GANTZLER lines from York Co.,PA (early 1700's) to Lincoln,
Catawba, Rutherford, Mecklenburg Counties of NC. I have recently created a 
Cansler Homepage in hopes of reaching other researchers of this name to
hopefully collaborate our efforts on this line!

it is possible that Joel and Nancy have some Alexander County ties.

PLUNK, CARPENTER, SIPES, FULBRIGHT

Looking for descendants of Dr. Peter PLUNK who will was probated
in Oct 1791 in Lincoln Co., NC., probably the present Catawba Co.,
NC.  Much information has been collected about his two sons,
John, b. c1773, and Jacob, b. c1774, and some information has
been collected about his daughter, Mary, b. c1785, who married
Abraham SIPES as his second wife, but nothing has been found
concerning his other daughters, Barbara who married probably
before 1789 to Jacob FULLBRIGHT, Jr., Catherine who married
Nicholas CARPENTER in 1812, Elizabeth, Nancy, Sarah, or Susannah.
One of these later daughters may have married Peter CARPENTER
before 1789.  Interested in corresponding with anyone who may
have descended from any of these children.  Dr. Peter PLUNK's
wife's name was Barbara but her surname has not been found.

Catawba Counties do not show the parents: John and Barbara. Posting this
information for a friend that is willing to share data.  I have his family
group sheet and can supply additional information, if interested. This

grandfather Elijiah Bolick born 1821 and his wife Elizabeth, born 1823
unknown maiden name, who were born in North Carolina and moved to

ALEXANDER

John ALEXANDER was born about 1740, probably in Scotland.  He died
1799 or 1800 at Ball's Creek, which was at that time in Lincoln County.
He married first, Jane THOMSON, and second, Mary MORRISON, who
was a widow.  We do not know what Mary's maiden name was or who was
her first husband.  They took out the bond to marry in Mecklenberg County,
which we believe, was where she was living.  John and his first wife had 4
children, one of whom reached adulthood.  John and his second wife had
8 or 9 children, all of whom lived to adulthood and traveled from NC to
MO after John died.  I would be very interested in communicating with
anyone researching this family.

Miles YOUNT

 I am searching for information on  Miles YOUNT, of Catawba County, NC.
I know that he was born in about 1845, possibly the son of Joseph Yount,
Sr. and Catharine Yount.  He enlisted in 1861 in Co. A, 12th Regiment, NC
Troops at age 26 in 1861.  He was promoted to 1st Lt. and was wounded at
South Mountain, causing paralysis in the arm. He was put in the invalid
corps.
  After the war, he became a bridge builder and  was working on a bridge
in either the Haw or Neuse River and fell in and drowned.  This information
was printed in the book, The Catawba Soldier of the Civil War and was
provided by my great grandfather, Henry Philip Rudisill.  It also stated
the Miles was Henry's brother in law.  Henry did marry Olivia Clementine
Yount, daughter of Franklin and Jemima Yount , but the only brother I can
find for her who fought inthe War was Sydney Leander.
  I would like to figure out how to link Miles in to the family and find
his burial place, if anyone knows anything about him. I also wonder if he
ever married and had children. Thank you in advance.

He had a daughter Susan b 1808 and probably other children.  Family
stories say that he was a drummer in the Rev. War, but I have searched
the NC records and the only ROWE drummer I could find was a Jesse in
Craven Co.  Perhaps he was his father.  I found a marriage for a John

a ferry in now what is Iredell County, called Houston Ferry. He lived on
the Catawba River at Island Creek near Island Ford and received a 200 acre
state land grant, 1783 on this land. It was granted in the name of Robert
Houston, which was scratched out and "Joseph" written in. Is there a
connection to a Robert/William/Joseph Houston?
Any one working on this line will be contacted. Thanks.

MASSEY

The Nicholas Massey family bought land along the East side of the Catawba
river , Rowan Co. (now Iredell), N.C. in 1764.  Nicholas Massey's sons
were Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  His daughters were Sarah (SHERRILL),
Rachel (STOWE), Henrietta (HADDON/HADEN), Lucresa (BRADLEY), Priscilla
(LOWRANCE), Hannah (MCENTIRE/MCINTYRE), Catherine (BARRIER).  Nicholas'
2nd wife was Lucretia __.  I am trying to find the connection between
Ebenezer Massey , born 1778 in NC and Nicholas Massey.  I believe
Ebenezer is Nicholas' son by 2nd wife, Lucretia.  Ebenezer is listed in
tax polls with Nicholas and bought most of Nicholas's land after his
death.  Can anyone help with this connection?   I am also searching
for the maiden name of Ebenezer's wife, Nancy ___.  Isaac Massey's
land grant was along Falling Creek and Abraham's grant connected to
Isaac's.  Jacob Sherrill's land was close to the previous two.  Isaac
Massey disappeared from the family previous to 1809 when Nicholas Massey
died, and did not receive his share of the inheritance. I think Isaac and
his family moved west.  Perhaps there was a rift in the family. The only
clue I have to Isaac's family is the signature of  Nanny (Nancy) CRAGE
plus Isaac's on the bill of sale for the land on Falling Creek in 1807.
I would also like to correspond with anyone researching the
WALLACE/WALLIS family.  My gggrandmother was Margaret Eveline WALLACE
married to Abraham S. Massey (Ebenezer's son).
