HARRIS / JOHNSON
Judy Brickhouse August 29, 2000
I am desperately looking for a link of some kind to help me find out who Nancy HARRIS' mother and father were. Nancy HARRIS was born c. 1851 and died 1915. She married Albin JOHNSON and had 3 children: Zorada, Cordella, and Thomas. That is all I know for sure about her. Zorada was my husband's Grandmother and he remembers her telling him that he was so dark complected because of her Indian blood. Is there Indian blood in the HARRIS line? We run into a lot of people who have heard the same rumor but no one can help in giving us a starting point. If you can help us at all it would be much appreciated!! I forgot to mention that Nancy HARRIS' daughter, Zorada, married William A. BRICKHOUSE in Hyde Co. July 23, 1905. Is it a coincidence that their son was named Thomas or was he named for a father or brother? The daughter Cordella married a CUTHRELL and remained in Hyde Co.

HARRIS
Manja (Harris) Zeigenbein June 17, 2002
I am trying to locate my great-grandfather and family. His name is William Riley HARRIS, b. abt. 1864 I have TN as his birthplace, not 100% sure. Also birth date could be conflicting--could be 1855, TN. Could be somewhere else! I don't have anything on siblings only his children. I am researching my HARRIS family to try and find as well as get past my great-grandfather. Although we have him born and dying in TN, I've also heard it said that he traveled a lot and could have been a horse-trader. Could possibly have been in N.C. this is what I'm trying to find out. Appears he was born in the mid 1800's. Since the name is common on this site I have to wonder if there could be a connection. If anyone knows please email. My grandfather, James Riley HARRIS was the son of my William Riley HARRIS. Thanks!
HARRIS
Earline Barnes January 19, 2004
I am researching my African American family history. I am trying to find my great-great- grandfather Jack HARRIS. I have been told by my great uncle that Jack HARRIS was a former slave and was freed. My great uncle has related to me that a Mr. GIBBS had given him a copy of manumission papers on Jack HARRIS years ago, but he cannot find them now. I live in Florida, and I am new to genealogy research, and do not know how to go about getting a copy of manumission papers. Any assistance you could give would be greatly appreciated. I believe Jack HARRIS is listed in the 1880 census as married with six children, the youngest child listed I believe is my great-grandfather Edwin HARRIS. I have also found a listing in the 1890 Hyde County Tax List. The interesting fact here is there is no listing of how much property was owned by Jack HARRIS or any other "colored" person on this list. I have been told he owned several hundred acres. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated!
HARRIS / SPENCER / MORRIS
Earline Barnes January 19, 2004
I am researching my African American family history. I am trying to find information on my great-grandmother. Her maiden name was Robena SPENCER. She appeared in the 1900 Hyde County Census at age 16 with no parents. Her death certificate is dated Feb. 17, 1925. Her parents were listed as Sam SPENCER & Allie MORRIS, but I can find no trace of them. She married Edward HARRIS sometime between 1900-1902. They are listed in the 1910 Hyde County Census. If you can find any information on any of the above listed names it would be greatly appreciated!
HARRIS / REDDICK / VASS
Earline V. Barnes October 19, 2006
I am trying to find any information available on the African American HARRIS, VASS and Reddick families.
Samuel Allen HARRIS was the son of John “Jack” HARRIS of Fairfield, and Lake Landing in Hyde Co. Samuel moved to Pantego, probably some time in 1910 with his wife Elizabeth (SPENCER) HARRIS and children, Samuel; George; Otis; Naomi; Ruth; Adelaide; Ina Mae; and Lovie; Rufus; Christina; and Hettie HARRIS.
Hannah and Harrison VASS were the step children of John “Jack” HARRIS. Their mother was the second wife of Jack HARRIS, Mariah VASS. Harrison also moved to Pantego where he married Mattie REDDICK and had a son Willie L. VASS. I have confirmation from my mother that the Reddick families are our cousins, because they visited my grandmother Clida Bell HARRIS-ALLEN when she moved to Norfolk, VA and Mt. Vernon, NY. I am trying to establish if they were related prior to the marriage of Harrison VASS and Mattie REDDICK. Anyone have any information on any of these families it would be greatly appreciated. I am willing to share any information I have with anyone who needs it.
HARRIS
Ron Pulley June 25. 2008
I am trying to get beyond a dead end in my family research. It concerns the HARRIS family. My great, great grandfather, THOMAS C. HARRIS, was born about 1825 and I am not sure of the location. He died in White County Tennessee. One of his sons, Alvie M. HARRIS, married ANNELIZA KNOWLES, the daughter of CASON KNOWLES and STACY HUTCHINGS. The KNOWLES, HARRISES, AND SWINDELLS all lived near each other in White County and from some information I have, I believe these same families lived together in Hyde county and possibly moved to Tennessee together. I would like to know when these families moved to Tennessee and if my Harris family was a part of this move This may give me a clue as to the father of my Thomas. Thanks very much.

HEATH
Dawne Sutherland May 28, 2003
Researching the teaching history of John Winfred (sometimes referred to as J.W.) HEATH. I am the great-granddaughter of Mr. HEATH.

After that time he was in Raleigh with the Raleigh School of Commerce. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

HENDERSON / SELBY
Robert Henderson April 20, 2001
On a recent trip to Currituck and Hyde court houses I found my gr grandfather, Jones S. HENDERSON's death certificate and marriage bonds. He was married three times, (1) Ann McKINNY in 1859 (2) Nancy E. CUTRELL (my gr grandmother) in 1865 and (3) Ellen BISHOP in 1884. On his death certificate his mothers maiden name was listed as "SELBY" and on a 1884 marriage bond he lists his father as Tho. S. HENDERSON and his mother as Britty HENDERSON. In the Hyde Co., NC Wills and Accounts Will Book # 5 (May Term 1830 - May Term 1837) Part 4 Tho. S. HENDERSON is listed as having a wife named "Eliza". Does anyone know if there is a connection between the names Britty and Eliza? Also would like any information on the SELBY family in Hyde county. Thanks!
HENDERSON
Robert Henderson July 6, 2002
I am researching the HENDERSON's of Hyde county and came across the 1715 Beaufort/Hyde corn list. In this list and the 1717 land list I found a Thos. HENDERSON who had a patent on 300 acres on the west side of the Pamlico River. I am trying to pin down this location. On the map there doesn't seem to be a west side of the river, only north and south banks. Does anyone have any ideas on where this location is? My earliest HENDERSON is Thomas HENDERSON (1784) who owned land on the Pungo River in western Hyde county.
HENRYS / HENRIES

Janie Cravens February 4, 2005
I am looking for information on Joseph HENRY, born in 1772 in Hyde Co., NC and died in 1858 in Crawford Co., IL. He married Dorcas (__?__) in NC or TN. His father may have been Samual HENRY who fought in the Revolutionary War with the Hyde County Malitia.
HILL
Diedre Parris April 24, 2001
I am searching for the ancestry of a man called Bershaba HILL, who I believe was born in Hyde County in the late 1700's--early 1800's. Bershaba would have been my ggggg-grandfather. He married Sarah. He moved from Hyde in the early 1800's and bought land in Haywood Co. NC. He is listed in the 1820 Haywood Census records along with a Greenberry and James HILL. In 1830, he is listed along with Greenberry, Henry, Rebecca, and a Richard HILL. Barshaba, Greenberry and Henry are listed in the Hyde estate records (1823, 1838, 1814 respectfully), which leads me to believe that they inherited land there when a close relative died. Now, I have no proof that the 3 men listed in Hyde's estate records are the same ones that ended up in Haywood Co, but Greenberry and Barshaba are not common names, and it's an awfully big coincidence that they disappear from Hyde and reappear in Haywood at approximately the same time.
Barshaba called his daughter Narcissus (my gggg-grandmother). Narcissus is also an uncommon name, but I did find a reference in Hyde documents to a Narcissus ROUSE (who married a Richard DAWSON). Two of her sisters married HILLS. Sarah ROUSE m. Thomas HILLand Susan ROUSE m. Henry HILL. This Henry may be the same one who ended up in Haywood with Bershaba and Greenberry. Perhaps one of the sisters carried Narcissus' name to their children. Do any of these people sound familiar to anyone in Hyde? Any help would be so appreciated.
HILL
Nancy Hamilton - October 24, 2003
I think that Rev. Isham H. HILL d. 1880 of Currituck District is very possibly a brother to my ggg grandmother, Puah (HILL) HAMILTON. Would be interested in any information that lists his siblings or his parents Rev. Micajah and Sarah HILL. Would be interested to contact any descendents to compare genealogical nformation. Thanks!
HODGES / HOWARD
Teresa Howard Harrell August 30, 2000
I am trying to locate the descendants of Martha Eleanor (HOWARD) HODGES and Wm. Jospeh HODGES. She was my great-aunt. Her brother Benjamin L. HOWARD was my great-grandfather. My family did not know of her existance or that of her sisters and brothers until this very week. If you know where they are, any of them, please let me know, as we are trying so hard to find everyone. We are going to plan a reunion, so that at last the HOWARD side of Daniel and Jerusha HOWARD will be back together. Thank you.
Benjamin HOWARD married Emma SLADE. He died Nov. 11, 1929 in Philadelplhia. My great-grandmother, Emma, died in 1972 and was 91 or 92 years of age.
Their children were:
Viola born Apr. 1, 1902 deceased
Henry Clay , my grandfather, born Oct. 26, 1909; died of pancreactic cancer, March, 1971
Orville Creely, born May 17, 1914, died Aug. 1971 of pancreactic cancer
Vivian, born Nov. 22, 1904, died Aug. 1971 of pancreactic cancer
Kathleen, born Dec. 1, 1907 deceased
Benjamin Lee born May 1, 1912, died Aug. 1996, born in Roper
George, born Oct. 1917, must have died as an infant
Evelyn, born Aug. 1919, must have died as an infant
Warren, born May 22, 1921, still living, in Roanoke Rapids
My cousin, Barbara Lee (HOWARD) ROBERTS, has the HOWARD/SWINDELL bible. In that bible it lists Jerusha's parents as being Bartholomew SWINDELL and Sarah MEEKINS. We do know that in 1870 Bartholomew was living with Jerusha and Daniel, and it is these two who are buried at the Daniel C. SWINDELL cemetery in Hyde County. I would like to know if the "C" stands for Cornelius. If so, my set of HOWARD's desend from Wm. HOWARD of Ocracoke Island. Daniel's father was Martin HOWARD.
HODGES
Haven M. Hodges May 22, 2003
My HODGES family came from Hyde Co. I have been stumped with subject of James HODGES. His wife was Mary who died 1831 in Hyde Co. James HODGES and Mary had 4 children. One son, Josiah HODGES who died 1839, & his wife Elizabeth (?); they had a son William M. HODGES b. 1816 d. 1900. They also had 3 daughters ??? Does anyone have any info on this family? Or where James HODGES came from? He first shows up in the 1790 Hyde Co. Census and was the only HODGES in that census. I know nothing about Mary his wife, or Elizabeth, Josiah's wife. I have most of the HODGES family from William M. HODGES to the present and many other families that I am related to by marriage.

I am looking for my grandmother's (Ina HOLLOWAY) mother and father and their parents. Ina had three children: my mother Emma, Carrie and Mildred. I know where my mother is (passed away) and my aunt Carrie, who is 94, doesn't remember anything. I don't know what happened to Mildred. They lived in Swan Quarter. I would like to know who my mother's father was, which would be my grandfather. I think that my grandmother married C. FRANKLIN, but I am not sure. I was in Swan Quarter in 1956, and met Ranson GREEN and his family and they said I was their cousin. I also met Freddie FRANKLIN and he said he was C. FRANKLIN's son and my cousin. My grandmother passed away in 1958 but I don't know when or were she was laid to rest. I am also looking for my gg-grandfather, Anson LUCAS, who lived in Lake Landing, NC around the year 1880 and before. I am the daughter of Anson LUCAS, the second. My father was named after is grandfather, I think. I would appreciate any information on these two families. Thanks.

HOWARD (Swindell / Bishop / Hodges / Williams / Beck)
Teresa Howard Harrell April 12, 2001
Daniel HOWARD was born in 1830 his wife was Jerusha SWINDELL born in 1836. She died in 1886. Their children were Laura HOWARD, born in 1856. She married Charles BISHOP. Martha Eleanor HOWARD married Wm. Joseph HODGES. Selestia HOWARD WAS born in 1860. Twins Eliza and Louisa were born in 1857, Ellen was born in 1877. The boys were George, born in 1867, Benjamin L. born in 1862 - died in 1929 in PA , and Bennett, born in 1869. Martha was born in 1857 - died in Oct. 1941. The twins appear on the 1860 census, it has them as 3. Beside Louisa's name it has 3/12. I don't know if that means they were 3 months old or not. But Martha is not on the 1860 census, my guess is because she was born July 27, 1857.
Ambrose HOWARD, born in Oct. 1828 - died Aug. 28, 1903. His wife was Patsy WILLIAMS. I have Wm. Thomas HOWARD born Oct. 1883 - died Apr. 15, 1970. He married Sallie BECK.

Dan Sniffin January 11, 1998
Seeking family of Christian C. HUDSON, b. ca. 1802, probably in Hyde Co., NC, d. aft. 1879 in Monroe Twp, Wayne Co, IA. She married Thomas K. SHEPHERD, b. Sept. 4, 1808 in KY and d. Aug. 22, 1871 in Monroe Twp, Wayne Co, IA. Their married date and location are; circa 1830, prob. White Co., TN.

I have a lot of the descendants of this family but nothing going further back than Christian HUDSON.

My grandfather, Thomas POPPERWILL, born 1885 in Hyde, was their grandson and raised me in Little Washington. He told me that Elijah "grabbed the first woman he found" after being rescued on Hatteras and that she was an Indian. So far I have nothing further back than Eliza HUDSON. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I would be happy to share any info I have. Thanks.

I am looking for ANYONE that may know the exact location of the tombstones of Elijah Pickett Hudson and his daughter, Letha Mae Hudson. The tombstones were in Mt. Olive Church of Christ Cemetery in Ponzer, Hyde County, NC [see a photo of the church here] but have since sunk below ground because of flooding in that area. I've had new tombstones made for Elijah and Letha and wish to put them in the correct spot. In Memory of: An Index to Hyde County Cemeteries was published in 1973 and there was a marker for Elijah at that time, however, Letha was listed as an unmarked grave. If anyone reading this has photos of tombstones from this cemetery that might show where Elijah and Letha were originally buried in this cemetery or if you have any information about the vicinity of their last resting place, would you please contact me?

I am looking for information regarding my grandparents: Gertrude (Sawyer) HYDE and Nick HYDE. My grandfather was orphaned and took the name of HYDE from his adoptive parents. He was part Native American, was born in 1899 somewhere near Scranton and died in 1981, but was buried in Durham. My grandmother died in 1992 and was also buried in Durham. I remember spending summers in Hyde County with aunts, uncles, and relatives but I have no ties with them since my grandparents died. Any help would be appreciated.
