Angus Black, in Cumberland Co., NC, January 11, 1811, was the daughter of

We are searching for information about the lineage of John HUMPHREY, born 1834 in Ash Pole, m first 
Mary MCLEOD (no children) and, second, Martha Frances HAYES,. Children were James Jasper (Jim), 
John Aaron (John), William Foster (Foster), Charlie, Rowland, and some daughters who did not live 
very long. We believe that his father was also named John Humphrey. Family tradition states that 
the first HUMPHREY of our family to come to America was Big Jim, who came from Scotland. John had 
told my grandfather, Foster Humphrey, that he had brothers who fought in the West in the Civil War 
who never returned home. He believed that they were alive. After the death of John, Fannie and 
children lived for some time in Cumberland County. Vivian Humphrey

Does anyone have any information regarding a letter written c.1848 to McALPIN relatives in Cumberland 
County, North Carolina from a Nancy McALPIN PARKER of Perry County, Mississippi?

According to information from Mrs. Doris McALPIN RUSSELL's book, "McALPIN(e) Genealogies 1730-1990," 
published 1990, a Mrs. Vera Estelle TAYLOR SMITH (a McALPIN descendant) of STEDMAN, N.C. states that 
her family has in their possession a letter written in 1848 by Nancy McALPIN PARKER, who was living 
in Perry Co., Mississippi, to the McALPIN relatives back in N.C.

I'm trying to find a copy of this letter. I've contacted Mrs. Doris McALPIN RUSSELL, but she never 
saw the letter. She just relayed information obtained from Mrs. SMITH. 

A Member of the SMITH family of Stedman, recently told me that Mrs. Vera Estelle TAYLOR SMITH is 
currently a resident at a nursing home in Fayetteville, NC. Any help that you can offer will be 
greatly appreciated. Thank you. Art McAlpin 1234 Airport Road, Magee, MS 39111

I am searching for the parents or any information relating to Sarah WEEKS whose marriage bond 
in Cumberland County to Kitchin THOMAS is dated  15  Nov 1847. Beulah Reid. 

Looking for others researching the BEARDs.  Have bible records indication Daniel Beard born in 
Scotland abt. 1732 and arrived in Cumberland Co. about 1780 with his wife and brother John. 

I have researched this line and in my best effort, pulled together the many records for the family 
and determined that Daniel had sibs named John, Catherine, Neal (or Neil), William and James.  
Their father was Neill Beard, who was in originally what was know as Bladen, now Cumberland Co., 
in 1746 as he bought land from Rev. Stephen Hollingsworth. 

I've looked into the possibility Neill Beard came over earlier to somewhere up north, PA or DE, 
or even VA; there are Beards there, but no Neill.  There is another Beard line in NC, Rowan Co., 
but I believe these Beards were from Germany.  It was proposed Neill was born in Scotland, but 
like many others, went to Ireland before leaving for America.  It was also thought he may have 
been Quaker converted to the Baptist faith as Rev. Stephen Hollingsworth's mission was to do that.  
My next step is to go to Cobb County Genealogy Room AGAIN here in Marietta, GA and see if he's 
mentioned on any passenger list on any ship I haven't already looked at.  I've been to Raleigh 
but looks like I might be going back...  

I have seriously been RE-searching the last couple of months, continuing my search of 15 years.  
Even though the bible records indicate Daniel immigrated to North Carolina, I've not found Neil 
and John together listed on any passenger list I've see as of yet; there has been a John, but no Neill.  

I'm going to list my line and if you are also interested, please contact me.  I have records I 
hope to be putting on the Cumberland Co. page soon.

I live in Paris, Texas most of the time, but have been in Fayetteville, NC for the past two months while 
my husband was employed here.  We'll be leaving next week, but hope to return in the not too distant future.  
 
I have found my great-grandparents, Col. Archibald Stewart McNEILL, b. 1805, d. 1876, and Mary Virginia 
Herndon Covington McNEILL, in Summerville Cemetery.  
 
My ggg grandparents would be Grissella Stewart and Neil McNEILL (son of Archibald and Jennie Bahn Smith 
McNeill).   I do not know the burial site of Grissella and Neil, but several books have said that Archibald 
and Jennie Bahn SMITH McNEILL are buried in a McNeill cemetery near the McCormick Home.  I have been unable 
to locate this site.  Can you help?  
 
My grandfather, Archibald Stewart McNEILL, b. April 21, 1860, d. April 21, 1950 (buried in Evergreen 
Cemetery, Orange, Texas) came to Texas(from his home at McNeill's Ferry) in 1880.  He married Mary Ann 
Golding and they had Addie McNeill MacFarlane, Herndon Lawrence McNeill, Archiebald Stewart McNeill, 
M.D., Edgar Bruce McNeill (my father), and Helen Mildred McNeill Dodson.  Perhaps these names could be 
added to the geneaological file.  I am a TOTAL NOVICE at this, but at age 65, am eagerly embracing it.  
 
Thank you for your time.  Will hope to hear from you shortly.  
Sincerely, Catherine LeDerer P.O. Box 6278, Paris, Texas 75461

Researching John and Matilda (CROSS)  ADAMS who married in Cumberland County, July 14, 1824.  Later they 
settled in Coffee County, Tennessee.  They appear on the 1850 census in that county.  John was born in 1800 
in NC and Matilda was born in 1805. We are descended from their daughter, Sarah Jane, who came 
west to Oregon by 1851. Please respond if you have any information at all regarding John and Matilda.
