RAY, HOPLIN, MOBLEY, WINSTON, JOPLIN/CHOPLIN - Query by Charles Engelberger, e.g. RAY/HOPLIN. David Ray married Edith (Edy) JOPLIN (CHOPLIN), daughter of James JOPLIN and Lydia MOBLEY. Edy's eldest brother, Mordecai JOPLIN was killed in the war of 1812, in Norfolk, VA, Dec 1814. I am searching for the names of Mordecai's children.

JACKSON, WALKER - I am searching for any information on JOHN WARREN JACKSON, who married Lydia Walker, and is found in Bute Co records as a buyer at an estate sale of Peter Walker in 1778. He is found in Franklin Co deed books in 1780 and 1783 as a witness in deeds of William Stuart, John Lenard, and others. He then moved into Ga to Wilkes Co and later dies in Warren Co GA. Who were his children? Did he have siblings? Was he born in Maryland? Did he have a son named Warren?

DAUGHERTY, GAY - I am interested in discovering additional information re the DAUGHERTY family of Franklin County. Joseph DAUGHERTY was named guardian of Kinchen and Eaton GAY in 1791. Joseph DAUGHTERY was the brother of these orphans mother, Mary DAUGHERTY GAY, widow of Isham GAY of Edgecombe County. Joseph and Mary DAUGHTERY's father was Samuel DAUGHERTY of Franklin County (and referred to in some documents as "recently of Isle of Wight, Virginia). I believe that Mary Daugherty GAY may have remarried a brother (or cousin) of Isham GAY...one Richard GAY of Edgecombe County. Both Joseph DAUGHERTY and Mary DAUGHERTY GAY appear in Franklin County records and in Edgecombe County records. Can you help me shed a little light on this family's history?

JONES - I'm looking for information concerning William Atkin (possibly Adkin) Jones, who was a tobacco farmer/ landowner in or near Franklin County, NC, possibly on the outskirts of Louisburg. He had 13 children by his first wife who died. I have no information on this first wife and am interested in any leads regarding her. His second wife was Myrtle Stallings, possibly from a nearby area named Stallings Crossing, who bore him three children, Louis, Casey (Casey may have been a nickname, real name may have been William Atkin Jr., and Joseph Bentley. Myrtle Jones died around 1973 in Louisburg. The subject William Atkin Jones died around 1932, horse. He was decended from two brothers who came from Wales. He donated some land he owned in Louisburg for the construction of a church there. Family legend is that this particular Jones family, is the family that John Paul stayed with, and then took the name Jones from to become John Paul Jones, father of the US Navy. I don't know whether there is any truth to that or not, but would also appreciate any information anyone may have on that subject. Any information or leads appreciated. Thanks.
