McDANIEL / EDGE / SUGGS
I am trying to locate information on John McDANIEL and his wife Sealy or (Cecilia/Celia)Edge McDANIEL. He was born (according to tombstone) in l817. He married Sealy EDGE. She was the daughter of Elias Edge and Mary (Polly) SUGGS. She, according to her death certificate was born in Bladen County, NC, in l828, but I found the Edge Family Genealogy and it states that she was born in 1831. That genealogy only gives information on the male family members. I am trying to find names, dates, of parents and sibblings of John and also marriage date for John and Cecilia (Sealy). They were my ggrandparents. Thank you for any suggestions where I might check for this information. John and Sealy moved from NC in early 1870's to Florida.

PORTER
Searching for information on my PORTER line. I specifically am trying to find out about Allen (Alan) PORTER. I know he was married in Cumberland county 1836/1837. I know he still lived there in 1850. He had a son, William D. PORTER who moved to Horry County, SC in the early 1850's. And I have been successful in the line going on down from there. But the brick wall is Allen PORTER. He just "appears" in Cumberland county in that marriage record of 1836(7) but I do not know from where he came, or if he was actually born in Cumberland county, nor have I found a record of death for him. I figure his birthdate abt. 1796.....anyone else searching this line? Stormy Posted May 20, 2000
