posted by ann sorocki on Wednesday, December 6, 2000: I work in the Craven County Library. A patron is asking for the name of a sheriff who was murdered in the era of the Civil War. There were actually two who were murdered; one was Nethercutt; the other name is not known. If you know this information, would you please also let me know the circumstances under which this occurred. Thanks. Ann Sorocki

, SPIVEY, STUTTS posted by elaine f on Saturday, February 24, 2001: I am looking for information on a cemetary that I am told is close to the county lines of Jones and Craven. A newly found distant cousin has information that my gt(x5) grandfather(his gt(x4) was buried in a cemetary in Dover on the county lines of Jones and Craven Co. I have no clue where Dover is located and a search tonight only turned up Dover, DE and info on the race track there. I also received other info that he was buried in Shamburger Cemetary near Dover Baptist Church under a cedar tree. This would have been after 1820 or 1830 depending which report I use. All of us have hit a stump with this person. The name is John SPIVEY m. to Sussanna STUTTS. Do you have any information of such a cemetary? Any information would be greatly appreciated by all of us. Thank you. _________________________________________________________________
