Looking for any information on the COOPER family of Hyde and Martin Counties. Also seeking information about parents and family of Rebecca SMITH (b. 1861) and Sally ROSE, wives of Sylvanus COOPER (c.1853/5 -1920). I believe that Sally's father was Samuel ROSE (b. abt. 1832).

COOPER / ROSE / SMITH
Ruffin R. Cooper August 29, 1998
Researching my ggf Edward COOPER and our family that moved from Martin County to Hyde County between 1860 and 1870. Samuel ROSE was the father of Rebecca ROSE the second wife of my gf Sylvanus COOPER. The 1860 Census shows Samuel ROSE, age 28, living with his wife Amanda (SMITH), age 27, and two sons; William A., age 8 and Edward, age 5 in Swan Quarter, Hyde County. Also shown in the 1860 Census is Lucretia SMITH, age 56. It is reasonable to assume that Lucretia SMITH is the mother of Amanda. There are a number of Lucretia SMITH's listed in Census records in the 1800's The 1910 Census for my gf Sylvanus COOPER, now in Fairfield Twp. Hyde County, again shows Samuel ROSE, now age 78, living with Sylvanus and his wife Rebecca (ROSE), three children and a nephew Carroll. Samuel ROSE is listed in this Census as, "Father-in-Law". Any assistance in researching these family lines would be most appreciated. I would be happy to share information.
COOPER / SAWYER
Ruffin R. Cooper August 29, 1998
The Hyde County Cemeteries book lists the parents of my ggf Sylvanus COOPER as "Freddie" COOPER and Carolyn SAWYER. I have good reason to believe that my ggf's given name is really Edward not "Freddie". I have found an 1850 Census record for Isaac SAWYER, age 54, living in Currituck District, Hyde County. There is no wife listed for Isaac. The following persons are listed as living with him; Caroline, age 19; Zachariah, age 19; Hezakiah, age 13; Hardy, age 12; Albert, age 2; and Welthy A. age 15. My ggf, Sylvanus COOPER was born in April 1855. This Caroline SAWYER (age 19 in 1850) would have been age 24 when my ggf was born. The close proximity (I guess) of where they lived and the ages make it possible that this Carolyn SAWYER is my ggm, and Isaac is her father. I would really appreciate any assistance in following up this possibility. I would be more than happy to share information.

CORBIN
John Collins April 6, 2008
I am seeking information about these Justices [listed below] and, in particular, about William CORBIN. The reason I am also expressing interest in the other Justices is that knowing who they were or where they lived may help in identifying William Corbin, to whom I have so far found no other reference in NC.
There are going to be celebrations in Edenton this September for the 250th anniversary of the Cupola House, built for Francis Corbin, land agent for Earl Granville. I thought it would be a good idea to try and find out who Francis Corbin was (in his earlier life).
Francis Corbin's heir was Edmund Corbin of New Hanover County, probably son of Dr. John Corbin and his wife Ann Moore, eldest child of Col. Maurice Moore, wealthiest landowner in New Hanover county, who laid out and established the town of Brunswick in 1725.
Ann Moore's mother was a sister of Edward Moseley's first wife (who died in 1712), and Francis Corbin was appointed land agent for Earl Granville following the death in 1749 of Edward Moseley, one of the first pair of agents appointed.At a Council held at the Council Chamber in Edenton the 23d day of March 1734 [1735]:
His Excellency the Governour by and with the advice and consent of his Majesty's Council doth order that a Commission pass the Seal of this province constituting and appointing Robt TURNER, Dr Patrick MAULE, Lemon ALDERSON, Sesith PILKINGTON, John CALDON, Charles ODEON, Thomas TYSON, Abraham PRITCHARD, Thomas SMITH, William CORBIN, Samuel SINCLAIR, and William BARROW Justices of the peace for the precinct of Beaufort and Hyde to sit and hold Court on the second Tuesday in the months of June, September Dec. and March yearly.

First, thanks for maintaining the Hyde County website. I especially appreciate the sections on African American history. My mother was born in Hyde County.

Her parents had died and she moved in with an aunt and uncle in Belhaven. Roxana's parents were Golet COVILL and Annie FULFORD. I would appreciate any tips on how to continue my search for COVEL (COVILL) and FULFORD families after 1920?

CREDLE
Ray Credle December 8, 1998
Seeking information of the black CREDLE'S who could have possibly been slaves, that were owned by the CREDLE'S of Hyde county. My father (Thomas Franklin CREDLE, Jr. (Sept. 23, 1897 - Apr. 4, 1954) lists Hyde County as his place of birth on his death certificate.

CREDLE / WILLIAMS / DUNBAR
Ray Credle December 17, 1998
The response to my initial query (CREDLE Family Research) has been tremendous. More than I expected, considering it was posted only a week ago. So let me be a little more specific based on input received so far:
(1) It is apparent that my roots can be traced to Ocracoke Island, NC. where they were slaves at some point, and some were offspring's from other than black blood, possibly native American or Caucasian. The features are evident in hair texture of my father and light complexed mother.
(2) The earliest records that show direct relationships were found in Census's taken in Swans Quarters, Hyde County NC. These record contain my Father, Grandfather, Grandmother, Aunt and Uncles. (Thanks to all who contributed to that data)
(3) The final resting place for my father (Thomas CREDLE) and Mother (Amanda WILLIAMS CREDLE) is Bayboro, Pamlico County NC.
(4) The Children and any subsequent offspring's of Thomas and Amanda Credle are recorded in the family bible that I maintain.
WHAT IS NEEDED:
(1) Any records or information that can substantiate the existence of the black CREDLE family belonging to households in eastern NC and VA area.
(2) Lessons learned from previous families or researcher who have successfully tracked family roots around our country and possibly other counties.
(3) A quick lesson on the treatment of mulatto's and freed men/women of color, which by some documentation indicated existed before 1863, before President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation which freed the slaves. Finally, I am open to any suggestion, that will assist my research effort.
CREDLE
Sharon Gable June 3, 1999
I'm looking for the mother of Mary Ann Veale CREDLE (Jan 04 1862 – May 09 1948). Her father was Tilson G. CREDLE of Hyde County (born 1838, date of death unknown) and his wife Ellen. In the Spring 1996 issue of High Tides, Ellen Williams listed Ellen as Ellen Selina McWILLIAMS. The death certificate for Mary Ann Veale CREDLE lists Ellen as Ellen SLADE. It appears based on Hyde Remembers (page 48) that she was McWILLIAMS rather than a SLADE. I'm looking for confirmation of that assumption. Does any one have a death record of W. V. CREDLE (Mary’s brother), Daniel S. CREDLE (Mary’s brother), Ellen S. CREDLE (Mary’s sister), Lemon BELL (Mary’s half sister) or David Zacheus BELL (Mary’s half brother) that would confirm either McWILLIAMS or SLADE? I'd appreciate anything someone may have on this so I can change the assumption to a fact. Thanks.

High Tides, Spring 1996, Volumn 1, page 14: Ellen S. CREDLE is shown as sister to Mary V. CREDLE. It may be coincidence but my great-grandmother was a Mary V. CREDLE of Hyde County and her daughter was Ellen Slade CREDLE whose birth date was 27 May 1876. Mary V. CREDLE's father was also a Tilson CREDLE. I need some help to clear this up. Thanks.

CUTRELL / SWINDELL / BLAKE
Anne Holland April 27,1999
I need information on the ancestors of Charles CUTRELL (1813 - ?) and his wife Mehatable SWINDELL (1824 - ? ). They lived mostly in the Swan Quarter area and were married circa 1838. Their daughter, Jacqueline CUTRELL (1852-1930) married James Mathias BLAKE, Sr. (1828-1907). I did find a will of Joseph SWINDELL that listed a daughter, Mehatabel, but I'm not sure if that is the correct one. Thanks.

My father (deceased) is James Aubrey CUTHRELL, his brothers were Norfleet CUTHRELL and Keith CUTHRELL, and a sister Thelma CUTHRELL. His father was Joseph Henry CUTHRELL and mother was Laura Lee BALLANCE. Trying to find out how long this family and the original family were in Hyde County.
CUTRELL / BRINN / SADLER
Albert July 30, 2011
I am looking at the Hyde Co., NC Death Index for CUTHRELL/CUTRELL. I see a Sarah E. CUTRELL's death. Nellie BRINN and Jeptha SADLER are listed as her parents. I have reason to believe that these two are in my family tree. They may be the parents of Mary F. SADLER that married James F. SAWYER in 1876. I can't find anything else about Nellie BRINN and Jeptha SADLER. If anyone knows any more or where I can get more information, please email me at al33@juno.com. Thanks! Albert
