My name is Tina Vaughn Payne and I have a lot of ancestors from Cumberland County. I have found several in the Gee Family Cemetery and 
my Great Great Great Grandmother at Big Rockfish Presbyterian Church. Her name is Rosa Belle BAIN wife of Stephen Walton VAUGHN. Rosa 
and her mother Martha E. and sister Tysha lived in the Seventy First District in 1880. I found information that her father Peter BAIN 
dob abt 1814 lived in Capt. Culbreaths District. That is all the information I can find on this family. Can you give me any information 
on any of this. What is Capt. Culbreaths District? I can't find anything after the census report from June of 1880 and Peter the father 
was not listed on this census at all. Thanks so much Tina V Payne or Tina, Fayetteville, NC 28303

his parents, DOD, and when married. Also need information on Dempsey Charles GRIFFIN, who also married Mary McCORQUODALE

I am trying, with no luck so far, to find information on these two families. My great-grandparents were William L. MANNING 
and Lillian JOHNSON. 
 
William L. MANNING was born 16 Sep 1859 in Cedar Creek, North Carolina. His parents were Emma POOLE of Sumter, SC and William MANNING 
of NC. She was from Wilmington, North Carolina. She was born 27 May  1865. Her father's name was Thos JOHNSON as recorded on her death 
certificate. 

They were married June 8, 1887 at 1st Baptist Church in Fayetteville, NC. They had eight children born in NC:

Annie V. b. May 1888 m. a Jackson
Leeroy (LeRoy) G. b. Oct 4, 1889 m. Florence Mitchell Kelley
William L. b. July 4, 1892 (my grandfather) m. Phoebe Rebecca Roberts, Mollie Lictman 
Lillian B. b. Oct. 1893 m. Charles Fulweiler, John Weist

Sometime between 1906 and 1910 they came to CA. I have the 1900 Census for NC and found them living in Guiford Co., Highpoint Township. 
In 1910, they are in San Francisco, CA.

Any suggestions would be so very welcomed and appreciated. Thank you, Jennifer(Manning)Lacey

Is there anyway to determine the location of what appears to be 200 acres, owned by Archibald BAKER listed in the 
1804 Tax List of Cumberland County?  Also, we are trying to determine the location of his burial/grave. Thanks for any 
help you may be able to offer.Judy Baker

Bryant GRIFFIN married Mary McCORQUODALE 7/21/1821 in Cumberland County.  After his death, Dempsey Charles GRIFFIN 
married Mary McCorquodale and they moved to Georgia.  I  believe Bryant and Dempsey GRIFFIN are brothers.  I would like 
as much information as possible on the parents and family as you might have.  I believe the father may be Hardy GRIFFIN, 
as Dempsey GRIFFIN posted bail using Hardy Griffin's property as collateral, then skipped out on the bail.
Thank you for your help. Patricia S. Ramirez

I research the McNEILLs of the Argyll Colony through original records. A Cumberland County deed dated 1803, wherein 
James McNEILL sold to John McKAY land about nine miles above Rockfish Creek on the east side of Cape Fear River, excluded 
a half-acre cemetery that was very likely a McNEILL cemetery. This land was one-half of a 1740 grant to one of the colonists, 
Hector McNEILL on Carver's Creek (not Bluff Hector) and was sold by his son-in-law, James McNEILL. This Hector may have been 
buried in the cemetery in the 1770's. If anyone knows of this cemetery, or knows a surveyor who has stumbled upon it, please 
contact me. Thank you! Steve Edgerton

Walter WEST b. 1903 m. Moodie Beulah HATCHER b abt 1900.  Not sure if Moodie is a nickname or part of her real name. I did not find any

Howell Hatcher and Mary A Evans??, Lillious Hatcher's parents and family.  Thanks very much.  Alice West-Ferguson

Based upon ages and places of residence in Scotland and North Carolina, I have inferred that Ezekiel SMITH (b. ca 1717 in Scotland) 
is the son of John SMITH (b. ca 1700 in Scotland), the immigrant who settled on the bank of the Cape Fear River.  Can anyone confirm the father/son 
relationship?  Dixie R. Smith

I am trying to contact Ann Rossini re: her Aug. 23, 1997 query regarding Malcom SMITH, b. 1718 in Scotland, d. 1778 in

Catherine BOLTON was born ca 1887 and married William Carson BUTLER who was born and raised in Cumberland County. He died before 
their second child was born in 1909. She lived with her in laws for a while and then left the two kids with her father in law and 
sister-in-law in Cumberland. She moved to the "city" and supposedly lived until 100 yrs old.  I don't know her exact birth or death 
dates and am looking for her ancestors to fill in a huge gap in my family tree. Any information is greatly appreciated. Mary Beth

Who was the John BAXTER  who had a lot in Fayetteville, Cumberland Co, NC in 1815 and earlier?  Who was his wife and children.  
When did he die?  

Looking in  Cumberland County based on this reference, William HAWKINS married Helen A BAXTER on 5 May 1831 in Cumberland Co.  Some 
say she and her brother, Plummer BAXTER were the children of John BAXTER and Martha ACREE.  Helen Baxter HAWKINS died in May 1840 
in Morgan Co, AL.  She and William HAWKINS had four sons, who were left orphans by/before 1850.  The sons were Benjamin William 
HAWKINS (1832),  Orlando HAWKIN (b 1834), Jeremiah (b 1836)  HAWKINS all born in North Carolina, youngest son, James McDaniel HAWKINS 
was born in 1840 in Morgan Co, AL. Virginia H. Regan

I am seeking information on my grandmother Eva R. DAWSON family.  She was born around 1912, her Mother's Name was Elise McKETHAN 
and Father W.M. DAWSON   I am also looking for any information on my Great, Great Great  Grandparents  Virgil McKETHAN who was born 
around 1840?.  His Wife was Susan (Beddie) McKETHAN. I believe they were living in Flea Hills Township, Cumberland County, N. C around 
1880.  Any information would be most helpful. Yolanda Banner Hartsfield

Myrtle, I am working on the AVERA family of Johnston and Cumberland Counties.  Some researchers believe that Thomas AVERA listed on 
this 1804 Tax List in Capt. McAlesters District is the son of Thomas AVERA, Jr., of Johnston County (I call this one Thomas III).  My 
suspicion is this is not the case.  I believe he is probably an unidentified son of Alexander AVERA [died 1808], founder of Averasboro.  
Can you tell me the additional information for this Thomas AVERA?  Did he pay a white poll tax?  If so, then he is definitely not the same 
man as Thomas III.  Thank you for posting this information.  It has been a lot of help to me. Teresa Evans

Does anyone have information on  the parents of James KENNEDY and his wife Nancy KING? They were married in Cumberland

Searching for any information on "Piper Daniel" PATTERSON who, according to Adm. Alex M. PATTERSON in 
his "Highland Scots Pattersons of North Carolina and Related Families", lived just inside Richmond County 
from Cumberland County. I want to know the names of "Piper Daniel" PATTERSON's wife and children and any 
other pertinent info on him. Thank you! Steve Edgerton 

Do you have any information about the Mims Cemetery in Fayetteville. I visited the site last week 
and found the gravesite of my great-great uncle, Winfield Pickett, who died in 1864 while serving 
as a private in the home troops of the CSA.  From the listing on the website, there is only one older 
grave in the cemetery, a Lillie Cook Caulder, who died in 1821.  The next graves recorded are in the 
late 1910's.

I think that the land in 1864 may have belonged to my great great grandfather Jonathan J. Prickett, 
although he recorded the purchase of the land in the names of the children, including Winfield.  Next to 
Winfield's grave is a series of unmarked field stones.  I'm beginning to believe that these stones may be 
the rest of my family. Any information you may have is appreciated.  Sid Pickett Greensboro, North Carolina.

My name is Teresa Blackmon from Lancaster, S. C.  I have been very interested in the family history of myself 
and of my husband for years.  I am constantly on Ancestry.com. and other sites for new finds.  Tonight, one of my 
finds was the location of the gravesite for my husband's greatgrandmother.  Her name is Mary J. BALKCUM.  I also 
have a copy of her death certificate which gives the cemetary as Holt Morgan. I looked up the cemetary listings 
and found Mary's name there.  Do you know of anyone who is willing to take a picture of Mary's tombstone and send 
it to me online? I would be very appreciative.  Please email me if you have the time.  Thanks, Teresa

Dear Myrtle,
    My daughter and I just returned from the Scottish Heritage weekend at St. Andrews College in Laurinburg, NC. 
We were hoping to find out any information about our ancestor, Calvin GRAHAM's parents. We seem to have hit a 
"dead end". Could you help us in any way? Retrieved your name off of the Graham Plantation Cemetery site online.
    My grandmother was Mittie Gertrude GRAHAM BENNETT from Fayetteville, NC. Her father was James Hall GRAHAM, and 
her grandfather was Calvin GRAHAM, who was a son of George GRAHAM. Any help would greatly be appreciated.                                                 With warmest regards, Michele Stearns

The death certificate dated 27 Feb 1915 of my ancestor, John M. BEAN (J. M. BEAN), says he was buried in 
Butler Cemetery, Flea Hill Township, Cumberland County, N.C.  His wife, Narcissa Jane BEAN, had preceded him in 
death by just 5 days, having died 22 Feb 1915.

I see a couple of Butler Cemeteries on the cemeteries page but neither one is in Flea Hill Township from what I 
can tell and neither one has a John BEAN listed as having been buried there. Do you know where this cemetery may 
be? Thanks for your help, Patricia Gregg

I am searching for information on Mary Arletha WOODARD whose father's last name was JOHNSON. Mary was born 1936; 
died 1995 in Fayetteville, Cumberland, North Carolina. Leslie Dawkins

My husband may be related to the BOONE family that you posted.  His name is James Edward BOONE b.1952), his father was 
Wilbur James BOONE (b. 1920), his father was Wilbur Chesnutt BOONE (b. 1877), his father (I think) was James Washington BOON(e?) 
b. 1844, his father was John(?) Achen (Angus?) BOONE b. 1812, his father was Stephen BOONE Jr. b. 1869, his father was Stephen 
BOON Sr b. 1730.  I am really not too sure about all of this (notice some of my dates don't make sense!), but was wondering if 
you had any information that could help me.  Thanks so much!Kathy Bower

Seeking information, obituary if available on Woodrow Wilson WILLIAMS who married Inez LUCK in Dillon County, SC Sept 14, 1940.
Woodrow list his age as 22, being born abt 1918. Last address for him 6429 Dove St. Norfolk, Va. found on Inez's death certificate. 
No further information is on W.W. Williams. It is rumored his parents lived in Fayetteville, NC. whoever they are. Seeking kinfolks 
of Woodrow Wilson Williams in the Cumberland County area. Woodrow W. Williams lived in Dillon County, SC on the land owned by Luther 
Hunt during the 1940's. It has not been determined when he left during the 1940's.

This information was on his wife, Inez death certificate: She died May 26, 1966 in Cape Fear Valley Hospital and is buried at Cross 
Creek Cemetery, Fayetteville, NC. The bottom of the death certificate is missing where the funeral home information would be listed.
Would like her obituary if one is available in the Fayetteville Observer. Thank you. Helen L. Wiggins  Dillon County, SC

My grandfather was Jarvis Estelle DAVIS. He died January 31, 1919. His death certificate says he died in Hoke 
County, NC and was buried February 1, 1919 at "Galatia".  I believe this is the Galatia Presbyterian Church Cemetery.  
The Galatia Church Cemetery posting on the Cumberland County Web site shows a George Addison DAVIS buried here. His 
death certificate states that he was buried at the Glatia Presbyterian Church. I am almost certain this is Jarvis' brother.
 
Are there any records that you are aware of that the church has that would include people that may not have a legible, 
or maybe no headstone.
 
I am thinking of visiting the Rockfish area soon to look for some of my ancesters. Thanks for any help you can give me.
 
If you know of any Davis' that have done research on their family it might also be helpful. Jarvis' father was 
Andrew Jackson Davis and his mother was Flora Ann McKETHAN.  They would have died shortly after 1900. There were 
two Andrew Jackson Davis born in the 1824 - 1830 time frame in Cumberland County.
