Comments: I found the 1790 Census Substitute (Tax List) for Granville County transcribed on the following website:
http://files.usgwarchives.org/nc/granville/census/1790grn.tx

I am researching my Hopkins ancestors and the only two Hopkins I find on this page is George in the Oxford District and Ann in the Tabb's Creek District.
A Hopkins forum on Rootsweb.Ancestry.com mentions a Richard as well as a Benjamin Hopkins that were listed in the 1786 Nap Reed's district:
http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ahopkins/nc-repor.htm

I assume this is the Knap of Leebe (or Leeds) District from the aforementioned transcribed website. There are no Hopkins listed in this district. Could there have been an error or omission in transcription?
If anyone has access to the 1786 Granville County tax list could you please look up Hopkins in the Knap (Nap) of Leed (Reed) District? Does anyone know the correct name of the district?

Thanks for your help.

I am seeking information about the parents of James B. Jackson. He was also known as J.B. Jackson. He was a schoolteacher and later a Baptist minister. His obituary said he was born in Granville Co., North Carolina in 1820. I have census records that show him in Wake Co., N.C. in 1850 and 1860. His family left North Carolina and moved to Missouri in 1867. He was married to Helen Knight. I just can't find out who his parents were. I would appreciate any information you might have about him. Thanks.

I show that my gg grandfather, Rial or Ryal Cates was a resident and possibly born in Granville Co NC - I also showed on a census search that he joined the Civil War 1-Mar 1862 and was an overseer. I believe he married a Nancy Lynch in Orange NC - my ggrandfather was supposedly born in Granville Co in 1866 - James Robert Cates - later moved to Texas. If the info I have is correct - Rial and Nancy both died in 1867 or 1868 therefore I am not sure what would have happened to JR - any help would be appreciated. Rhonda

I'm looking for a Granville Co. deed for Nahum Sanders (1740-1795).

Nahum Sanders is first found in Granville Co., NC as witness to a land transaction when James & Margaret Cash sold Joseph Miller 200 acres of land (Deed Book H, pg. 54).

Nahum is listed in the 1769 Granville Co., Tar River District tax roll with 1 white male and 7 blacks. He is also listed on the 1771 Granville Co., tax roll.

On March 1, 1770 he witnessed the will of Milhas Miars.

He took the State Oath on May 22, 1778 in the Tar River District.

There doesn't seem to be a land grant for Nahum, so, now I am looking for a deed.

Nahum's name is frequently misspelled and I have found "Nahum" spelled Nahom, Naum, Naaman, and Nathan. And Sanders is misspelled Saunders and Landers.

Nahum is our "brick wall" and any suggestions and/or information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! Mary Lu

Comments:
William Ferrill was born in 1725 to John Ferrill and

He had four sons: Byrd, Benjamin, Bryant T (1769), and Archelous b1772)Ferrill. All sons, except for Bryant were born in NC. Bryant and Archelous were born in newly formed Bute County.
All relocated to Screven County GA around 1790.
I am interested to know whether this extended family lived in Franklin County OR in Warren County portion of Bute County (which existed 1765-1779). The bulk of records for Bute County are, I am told, are to stored in NC Archives & History Department in Raleigh, which I plan to visit in September.
Ferrill has at times been spelled Ferrell. The "Oath of Allegiance" shows the surname both ways.

Does anyone have information on a church probably called Grassy Creek Presbyterian Church about 1800 in the Granville area? Some of the congregation formed another church, Spring Grove/Oak Hill. The Geneva Presbyterian Church records, in the same area, would prove helpful also, I feel. I have obtained some information from the Historical Society at Montreat, but only on Oak Creek.

Thank you for any assistance.

I am searching for the marriage information of Nancy Hayes to Joseph Royal. Family legend tells that they married in Granville, NC July 23, 1808. Nancy is thought be have been born in NC about 1786. I have read that Granville was not incorporated until 1810. Could someone point me in the direction I might find records previous to this?

Known children of Joseph and Nancy Hayes Royal were: John Edward, born February 13, 1808, North Carolina;
Peter, born 1810, North Carolina; and
James, born 1819, North Carolina. It is believed there was also a son named William (possibly with middle initial A.)

I would be grateful to anyone that could help me find a source or links for these names
1. Marriage record (Joseph Royal & Nancy Hayes)
2. Birth records for any of the children.

Thanks to everyone that reads this request of a novice to NC searches. eroyal

I am looking for two ancestors named William Washington. The first Wm. Washington was born in 1721 in Virginia and migrated to Granville, N.C. but died in Hancock Co., Ga. He was married to Tabatha Reeves in Virginia and her death was in Granville, N.C. in 1777.

His son, also William Washington was born in Granville in 1750 and was married to Elizabeth Alexander. His brother was Ephraim Washington and you do have a document that he signed after the revolutionary war. Is it possible to get a copy of that document?

Do you have records that go back that far? Thanks for your help.

The request list the cemetery as NEW Cemetery. I live in Roxboro,NC. and I have made one trip to find the cemetery. I asked several people about it, no one seems to know where it is. Could you help? Is there a cemetery named this and if not how can I find where he is buried. Thank you. Vic
