“Howard Shuler PAGE was aboard the submarine, Pompano, with my uncle. The submarine went down during WWII.
Would you check any sources you might have to see if we can find family? I have exhausted any Ancestry contacts that seemed promising.
The USS Bowfin Submarine Museum and Park in Honolulu, Hawaii is establishing a Pompano Family Network. Recent developments may prove to be successful in finding out what happened to that submarine and relatives will be notified if such is the case.
The web site www.OnEternalPatrol.com (WWII boats) you will find a memorial page for Howard Schuler on that site. They need a photo of him.
We know father was Arthur Bernard PAGE living at 221 S. Alston in Durham, N.C. as that was where he was when he was notified that his son was missing and later dead. He can be found on the 1930 and 1940 there.
The US Navy is seeking permission from the Japanese government to do an identifying dive on the wreck they find this summer off the coast of Honshu, Japan which they believe to be the Pompano.
Finding family for these sailors has just hit the top of the list. I hope you can help.

I am trying to find a marriage record for William CHISIM (CHISUM/CHISHOLM?) and Mary “Polly” POND who were married in Orange County sometime between around 1775, or perhaps just a bit later. My mother and I are working on the family genealogy. We have traced William’s son John from North Carolina to southern Illinois. We are particularly interested where the family property might have been located. I grew up on the family story that the “great-great-’s” had come from a plantation. Based on what we know of John, we think that there may have been a substantial piece of property. Any advise you can offer about where to start looking for this information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

“In an unsuccessful attempt of tracking information on the marriage records of RYECROFT and BROGDON in Orange Co. in 1820 (pasted below),
I chanced upon the surname of MASSEY, with researchers Dick Pickett and Charles MASSEY listed.
The MASSEY name one of my wife’s lines to Lancaster County S.C. James Rinaldo MASSEY and wife Charlotte Dixon GREEN.
If either Dick or Charles has this line I wonder if they know the misfortune that befell James & Lottie’s orphaned child Susan ‘Sude’ D. MASSEY who was “”farmed out’ to family in Texas.
If not, and they might want it for their records please have them contact me.
Cordially,

The LONG family were early settlers of New Hope Creek, Chapel Hill in 1642. They are shown on a stone Revolutionary Patriot Monument at New Hope Church as Patriots but I can find no documentation of their service in the Revolutionary war. I am trying to prove George LONG as a patriot to DAR. A family book “”Son of Carolina”" written by Augustus White LONG of Duke University wrote that George LONG fought in the Battle of Alamance which was considered the first battle of the revolutionary war. I really need help as I’ve been researching for a long time and am stuck. I do hope someone in the society is interested in helping me to prove this forgotten American Patriot. Thank you in advance. Hopefully, Suzanne Long O’Rourke”

“Hello,
I was walking my dog a couple weeks ago when I stumbled across an old cemetery in my neighborhood, and I would like to learn more about it.
The cemetery is located across the street from Kingdom Hall Church at 3302 Silver Star Dr. in Durham, 27713.
I found two intact headstones and several metal headstones with glass covers over paper names. There are also a couple of rows of indentions in the ground, which I assume to be other burial sites. Most of the dates I can read are from the 1920s or so.
Any help you can offer would be appreciated. And if you need more information, I can go back there and write down any names and dates I see.
Thank you,
James ”

“I am interested in any information on aThomas MCCLURE who was in Orange County ca 1753-1759. He signed Petition to the King as a Representative of Orange County in 1759. I believe he is my 6th ggrandfather. I noted on your list of surnames that MCCLURE, MCCLUER and MCLURE 1750-1820 is listed as families of interest.
This Thomas received a warrant for land in July 19, 1756 in vicinity of Mebane’s Mill, South Buffalo Creek joining Mebane’s line.
Thomas and Francis MCCLURE were both certified as chain carriers in July 1756. They were both later in Rowan County along with Andrew.
Any info where they came from; other family., etc would be most appreciated.
