Looking for information about the Philip BROOKS family of the Rockingham area spanning from 1745- 1800. He may have been 
one of the Highland immigrants. I would really like to get in touch with someone doing reasearch in this area. Please email 
if this sounds appealing to a local researcher. Thank You, Tracy Brooks

I can't find any record of either Mourning Alice Mcauley or Annie J McAULEY.  I know from family records that Mouring was born 
Mouring Alice BRUTON 23 March 1858 and died 23 June 1887 in Onville, NC no mention of where she is buried. Annie was born 1871(?) 
in NC but when she died or is buried there is no record or mention in any family papers.  I know she was born Annie J WHITE, her 
parents were Calvin WHITE and Nancy POOLE.  She had a daughter, Grace in 1901 and Kenneth is listed as a widower in the 1910 census.  
PS Mourning Alice or Mouring Alice(?)  I think her middle name was Alice.  She has very fine handwriting but I finally made out that 
the middle name is Alice.  The first name is spelled both ways my grandfather spelled Mourning but she spelled her name Mouring. I have 
looked very place I can think of, do you have any suggestion where I might look? Cheryl McLarty

My name is Ted Moore from Colorado, the past 12 years I have been ibn the process of collecting information on my family tree, 
I ran across the the Will of Henry LEDBETTER, from this Will ( 1769-1852 ) I see where he had business dealing with Edmond DeBERRY 
and one of the slaves Henry had was a woman name Dilcy, would your record have any way to track this slave woman? 
Thanks in Advance. Ted Moore 

Estate Settlement Record of James WATKINS,  Court of Pleas & Quarter Sessions Richmond Co., NC, Oct Term 1833:  Petition of 
Alfred DOCKERY against James WATKINS' widow and minor children. 

The minor children listed are  Israel, Nancy, Suzy, Aggy, Polly and Jane WATKINS.   Wilie WATKINS, Richmond WATKINS and 
July WATKINS "have arrived at full and lawful age."
 
What was the maiden name of the widow of James WATKINS and did she remarry? What happened to the  children?
 
I am especially interested in the dau, July WATKINS.  Her name is seen as July and X (her mark)Julia WATKINS (Seal) on the 
25 Oct 1830 Richmond Co., NC deed between Alfred DOCKERY and Wylie WATKINS & July WATKINS.
 
Benjamin GAY b. abt 1809 NC and wife, Julia, b abt 1811 NC, are found on the 1850c Fayette Co., TN . This is the area of 
Marshall Co., MS that became part of Fayette Co., TN. due to a border dispute.
 
Isreal WATKINS, 36 NC married to Elizabeth 43, NC is listed in the Northern Division, Marshall Co., MS 1850c.
Is this Isreal WATKINS the son  of James and Jane WATKINS and could Julia GAY be his sister, July WATKINS? 
 
My research on  Benjamin GAY b 1809 NC and wife, Julia  has taken  me to Richmond Co., NC and the possibility of this 
Benjamin GAY of Fayette Co., TN /Marshall Co., MS  being the son of John GAY & Nancy INGRAM. Julia GAY is also the right 
age to be the dau July of James and Jane WATKINS. 
 
Any help with the WATKINS/GAY family is appreciated, Dolores Dodge

My George PERKINS was born Feb. 24, 1782 ( possibly born in GA, but not sure) married Elizabeth WYNN.  She was born 
about 1792/93 in either GA or NC/SC.  According to Elizabeth, they were married at Rockingham on the Pee Dee, Dec. 13, 1809.  
Our best research suggests her parents were Obediah WYNN and Amy Leona 'Oney' Bolton who were in Wilkes Co., in the 1790s and 
early 1800s. Oney died about 1798 and Obediah remarried and then died in 1801, he has 4 kids from Oney and one from Lucy R. 
Terry, and a guardians were assigned to the various kids as the father must have had money.   There are Perkins in Richmond 
County in 1800 and 1810.  My George is enumerated between Jacob and John so I am looking for a possible family connection.  
George was drafted into W. of 1812 in Dickson Co, TN in Sept. 1814, he served in the 2nd Regt out of TN under Captain James 
Craig,(who later moved to Dallas Co, AL).  Where he lived after the War and before 1830 is sketchy, but his known kids born 
1818 and 1824 both state born in AL.  In 1830 he was found in 1830 census in Dallas Co, AL.  It seems some of the Boltons 
from Richmond can be found in Dallas too.  He then moves to Sumter Co, AL around 1832, gets land grants in 1837 ( also Wilcox 
Co), some of the daughters marry there, then in 1840 in Mobile, from 1840-1853 he was living in Mobile, but for a stint he 
is in Union Parish, LA, he is enumerated in both places in 1850.  He was granted a bounty land grant in Union, but died in 
Mobile.  His wife files for her own bounty grant starting in 1856 while living in Crockett, HoustonCo, TX, its granted in 
LA also about 1860, her paper trail ends in 1859 when we suspect she dies.  
 
My big brick wall is George and in what PERKINS family he belongs. I am hoping his marriage in Richmond is a big clue.  He 
had 2 known sons, John W. who married Tabitha Red/Redd, and William (not sure of spouse), daughters Nancy b. 1818, in AL 
married Harvey Hayman in Sumter, A in 1835 and Rebecca b. 1824 married Joel Lewis Turner in Mobile, AL 1841. There were 
either 5 or 6 daughters total, so daughters Keziah (Kizzie) , Elizabeth(Betsey), Rachael (possible marriage to Larkin 
Slate?) and Mary (Polly), might have married a George M. Mc???? cant be traced.  John and Nancys families move on to Texas,
Rebecca remains in Mobile until 1866 when she moves to Minnesota. I descend from Rebecca and a cousin descends from Nancy, 
so both those lines are well documented.  
 
I have more to share with anyone related to either family.  Looking to connect with those who know these lines.

I am searching for the grave of the Civil War renegade Bill OWENS.  I am related through Joseph and Daniel OWENS, and I 
think Bill OWENS was part of this family.  When my mother and aunts were children they would visit Owens,  relatives in 
Richmond, Anson, Moore and Montgomery counties.  I was told by my 89yo Aunt that they drove by the "outlaw" grave on the 
way to visit relatives in Ellerbe.  She said the grave marker had a picture of the man on it.  This grave was out in the 
country at that time.  Do you know anything about a grave of this description in Richmond County?  A grave with a picture 
of the man on it?
Do you know anything about the grave that my Aunt visited as a child?  Thank you for any information you can provide.
Sincerely, Debbie Powell

Myrtle,
My husband's grandfather  was buried in Sugar Loaf Cemetery in 1928.  We have it on his death cert. and oral tradition 
from his grandmother. He is not listed and probably does not have a marker since they were so poor.  His name is 
Jessie B RICHARDSON, b 2/27/1903   d 12-19-1928. He was so young and died of lobar pneumonia----and drinking did 
not help his health!

We have driven up the Cagle Cemetery Road and seen what we think is the hill this cemetery is on but the Hunt Club 
has a chain across the road and cabins built below the hill the cemetery is on.  Do you know who we can ask about 
getting in there and looking for his grave with a probe and maybe putting up some type of 'period correct' marker 
for him??

Jim's grandmother said they took his body up the hill the cemetery  on a wagon and had a terrible time getting it 
up there, as it was winter and the ground was so wet and cold.

Please advise us on who can give us permission to go up the hill and search for this cemetery. There have been some 
burials for kids [RICHARDSON] in the last few years so someone still knows about this small private spot.

Thank you for your time and interest! Jim & Cookie Richardson, Burlington, NC

I know my father's father William Richard BARBER and his wife Lena Mae AMMONS BARBER and my grandfather's father 
Benjamin BARBER, wife Mary, and I see Barbers back to the start of the County but I can not connect them.

I know my great grandfather Benjamin came to East Rockingham with his children after his wife (Mary) died. She was 
a BRYANT before they married and they are both buried in Moore County @ Harris' Crossroads in the Harris family cemetery. 
I wanted to know about that connection and found that Will HARRIS' wife was also a BRYANT and a sister to my G-grandmother 
Mary. I also found out that Benjamin's mother name was Isabella and she was listed in the Moore county census. I think 
that they tie into the other Benjamin Barber that I see listed in the 1840 Richmond County Census and I would like to know 
how?  Regards,  Richard B. Barber, Jr. 

Dear Mrs. Bridges,
    The information at your Richmond County website is wonderful!  However, I am facing some contradictions and am hoping 
you can help.  In one area, you have information about the McNair family   http://www.ncgenweb.us/richmond/neilmcnair.html
and in another place information about the Gibson family  http://www.ncgenweb.us/richmond/nelsongib.html
Both families make claim to Warner Chance.  Now I know... there were a LOT of Warner Chance men, but both sites also use 
the 1853 will of Warner Chance to make connections to his descendents.
    The McNair family claims that Warner married Ann Eliza McNair (no refrence as to how they know this marriage took place) 
and list Elijah Chance (who marries Harriet) as their son.  Likewise, the Gibson family claims that Warner married 
Sarah "Salley" Gibson, but they do not list Warner as Elijah's father.  I can find the documentation for this wedding. 
I can see in the will all sorts of names including a jumble of children and their spouses as well as grandchildren.  
However, so far I can't figure out which tree is correct.  
    I am looking for the parents of Elijah Chance, born around 1811 in Richmond with a will in 1885.  His wife is Harriett Gibson.  
Can you help me untangle all of the Warner Chance men to decipher this mystery? Cally Rakita

These three sons of Stephen Pate and Mary Covington GIBSON elude me.  I have thought several times I had the correct John Gibson 
pinned down only to find he belongs to another family.  He was born c1831...anyone know which JOHN GIBSON was the son of Nathaniel and 
Honor Pate GIBSON?  If so, please share with me.  I cannot find him past the 19 year old still living with his father in 1860.  
    Likewise the George GIBSON b 1868 who is a younger son...and I have Jesse GIBSON in 1900 census with Mary and sons Samuel and Willie 
and his parents Mary and Stephen GIBSON.  After which I can't find Jesse either!  Did they all move west, or what happened to these three?  
Thank you for your kindness.  Zelia Cline 

I am trying to find the ship passenger list for William Morrison(b.1771 in Scotland--d 1818 Telfair Co., Ga.?).
He arrived in America in 1788. He was a farmer in Richmond Co., N.C. In 1812, he had a wife (Mary Elizabeth Cooper (b. abt 1783 England) 
and 6 children. (I have confirmed the six sons known and satisified with the info. I found in the "Directory of Scots in the Carolinas", 
1680-1830 by Dobson.)
 
I am hoping to find out 
1.  The passenger list and which ship he and Mary arrived in America believed to be in 1788.
2.  What port they left Scotland and what port they arrived to in America ???
3.  If he was involved in the Telfair Co., Ga. militia after 1812. He is reported to have died on March 18,1818 at the "Battle of 
Breakfast Branch" (now part of Wilcox County, Ga.) ? 
 
As to William ROBERTSON (b. about 1765 Scotland--d. 1790 unk.) He had a son, Thomas Marmaduke ROBERTSON (b. abt 1784 in Charleston, S.C.) 
The ROBERTSONS's and MORRISON's families inner married and moved as a "group" from N.C. and/or S.C. to Telfair Co., Ga. to Lowndes Co. Ga. 
and then to Marion Co., Fl. 

I am hoping to find out 
1. Names of ship William R. arrived on, date of arrival, etc.

Looking for Descendants of James (d 1899) & Nancy Hughes (d 1882) of Richmond County, North Carolina
Filed in Cemeteries, North Carolina on Jan.01, 2011 

Descendants of two people buried in Richmond County [NC] in the late 1800s 
are being sought so the landowner can relocate their graves.

Riley Paving is soliciting relatives of the occupants of two graves about a quarter mile up Glider Road to the west of Camp Mackall 
near the Moore County line. They now lie about 2,000 feet from U.S. 1. 

The name on one headstone is James S. Hughes, born on June 23, 1813 and died Dec. 11, 1899, and the other is Nancy A. Hughes, 
born Jan. 24, 1831 and died Aug. 8, 1882. Richmond County Historical Society Genealogy Committee member May McCallum said records 
show the two were husband and wife.

North Carolina General Statute provides for "any person, firm, or corporation who owns land on which an abandoned cemetery 
is located after first securing the consent of the governing body of the municipality or county in which the abandoned cemetery is located."

The law stipulates 30 days written notice must be given for a next of kin or descendant to come forward, and if no one does the 
body must be "reinterred in a suitable cemetery."

The entity moving the graves has to bear the cost of it, and is responsible to pay up to $200 in restitution to the next of kin.
Anyone related to the James S. or Nancy A. Hughes is encouraged to contact Laurie at Riley Paving at (910) 947-5376. The company 
is headquartered in Carthage.

Need specific directions to this cemetery.  Think it was a home cemetery.  Sent FAG photographer to get family 
tombstone pictures, and he couldn't find the cemetery.  Is this cemetery on "Oak Ridge Rd" out of Hamlet marked 
in any way?  What exactly is the name of it, S?  stands for what? GPS couldn't find it...need more specifics. 

I don't know where it is or if more are buried there....the only two I know are John Wesley GIBSON is the third son of 
Stephen Pate GIBSON and Mary COVINGTON.  His wife Lucy is the fifth child of the Rev Noah GIBSON and his wife Nancy Jane 
BARRINGTON.  and sister of Stephen T GIBSON also buried there.  Their father is the Stephen T GIBSON buried in the S. GIBSON 
cemetery with his wife Lucy Ann HODGES.  This last Stephen T was the son of John GIBSON and his wife Nancy Anna PEARCE and 
a brother of Nathanial who married Honor Pate.  [I saw in an old Richmond history that the earliest Stephen T Gibson fell 
from his barn roof or some such and was killed...members of his family lived in the same home place long after he was gone].
      William Lawrence and wife Effie are here, he was son of Rev Noah ....almost everyone listed here can be identified as 
this Noah's children or grandchildren.  The Barrington's are his wife's folks. Since we don't know where this one is or the 
S. Gibson cemetery either....could they be the same one?    Stephen and Orilla GIBSON are at the S Gibson one along with 
their son George.  on his death certificate it says he was buried in "home cemetery". Just browsing...and trying to 
make sense of all these Gibson cemeteries? Thank you, Zelia Cline

I think my g-g-g-parents were Thomas and Nancy HASTY.  They were probably born in Richmond County around 1800.  
They married around 1820 and divorced in 1850.  I am interested in their parents.  Matthew Hasty had a son the right 
age in the census of 1820 but that is all I have so far. Clifford Lovin

Trying to verify birth date of twins, Ada MORRISON NUTTALL & Ida CAMERON.
Ida never married and is buried with her parents in Eastside Cem. Rockingham, NC. (Dan M. MORRISON & Martha Jane CAMERON  MORRISON)
Ada was married to Ernest B. NUTTALL, who is also buried with the above: but cannot find the burial site for Ada. There conflicts on 
their birthdates in public records that range from 1871 to 1874. If any present day descendants of this family can help it will be 
greatly appreciated.  I am distantly related thru Martha Jane CAMERON MORRISON.   John M. Maxwell

Dear Myrtle: Trying to find family of Donohos (sp) in early 1800s Richmond/Anson Co., NC. I have John Calhoun Donohue

Can anyone help??  Thanks,Peggy Greer

I'd like to locate a Zack TAYLOR... or any Taylor who had daughters named Rachel and Mary. He would have been 
born ca. 1800 for Rachel was born ca. 1826, and Mary born 1840. Would like to hear from anyone searching the TAYLOR  
family line who lived around the border of Gibson (Richmond Co), NC and the Brightsville area of Marlboro Co., SC. 
These border families are hard to nail down.   Scotland County wasn't formed until 1899. So, that area was still 
Richmond Co., NC.  Thanks, Joanne Harley

Hi Myrtle, I just found your email address online.  I discovered online this evening my great-grandmother, 
Mary Alice Terry Haywood, is buried in Terry Cemetery on McNeill Road in Rockingham.  I wondered whether 
you could provide specific information about the location of the cemetery? I appreciate any information 
you can share. P. Allen Gray, Jr.

Ms. Bridges,  I have enjoyed browsing your website.  I have hit a brickwall with my geneology and have 
become discouraged.  I hope that you can help me. 
 
My PRATT ancestors are suppose to have lived in the area of the Pee Dee RIver (possibly Anson or Richmond County) 
and owned much property.   I have heard there is an area called Morvin and Sneedsboro. My Great Grandmother did 
not return when she was ask to come at the time of her fathers death (It is believed that her Father did not approve 
of her marriage).  This relative's name was Sam PRATT or William Samuel PRATT.
 
My Great Grandmother was Louise Jane Pratt aka Liza Jane PRATT, DOB January 8, 1850 and born in Cuthbert Georgia.  
Her Father was William Pratt and Willie WILLIAMS (white/female).  This info. was taken from Louise Jane Pratt's 
death certificate.
 
Louise Jane PRATT married W. Gabe SMITH around 1864-1890. This couple lived and died in Alabama.  I have all the 
census records etc.It is believed that W. G. SMITH came from the Mississippi area.  I would like very much to be 
able to locate a marriage record for this couple.
 
I would like to locate a death record or cemetary record of Sam Pratt (William Samuel Pratt) or a marriage record 
for Louise Jane Pratt Smith. ANYTHING ON THESE PRATT's WOULD BE GREAT....
 
Can you help me?  Looking forward to hearing from you. Faye Parker Daphne, AL

Searching for any information on "Piper Daniel" PATTERSON who, according to Adm. Alex M. PATTERSON

and any other pertinent info on him. Thank you! Steve Edgerton

Myrtle, my ancestor is Peter BENNETT, probably born around 1760.  He married John JENKINS daughter, Elizabeth and their 
son (John) Jenkins BENNETT (~1800) probably married Laura ALMOND.  They had 3 sons Wm, Daniel, and Jenkins and 2 daughters.  
William went to Marlboro Co, S.C. and Daniel and Jenkins went to Merriweather Co., Ga.  Both fought in the Civil War with 
Daniel's wife ending up on Bennett's Place in Durham, N.C. with James Bennett (relationship, if any, unknown)  and Jenkins 
(having married Nancy ALMOND) moved to Randolph Co. Ala.  Their daughter Martha was my G-Grandmother.  The problem is Peter.  
He is not the well documented Peter of Richmond County and I cannot find his ancestry.  Do you have any suggestions as to 
where I can look?  Thank you. Dorothea Wilson

Capt Joseph HINES of Richmond County, b. 1798-d.1865 apparently married a WATKINS about 1820. They had a son named
Malachi Watkins HINES who was mentioned in the will of his grandfather Malachi WATKINS in 1831.

In 1837, Capt. Joseph HINES married Sarah Christian GARRETT and they had several children. Malachi Watkins HINES was living 
with his father and step mother although by this time he was about 17 years old. My question is: What was the full name of 
Capt. HINE'S first wife and what happened to her? Neal Cadieu

I am seeking information on a W.I. Ewing, son of John Ewing and Mary. W.I. Ewing is possibly William Isaac Ewing.
W.I. married Mary McLendon on Aug. 2, 1890 at her home in Steele's District, Richmond County. At that time, John Ewing 
was deceased, but his wife, Mary, was living. I have found a John Ewing in the 1850 Richmond County census as a young 
boy, born 1839 and in the household of Isaac and Martha Ewing. I would like to match these family members together and 
find out the complete name of W.I. Ewing and what happened to him and his wife, Mary.  Any information is appreciate. 
Thanks. Lydia Sides

I am researching my grandfather John Hilton Hailey (b 1836, d1906, married to Nannie Lagrone) whose parents 
were George Hailey (b. 1787 d. 1837, married to Elizabeth Burgess).  The Hailey and Lagrone families intermarried 
and moved to Noxubee Co MS and finally to east Texas.  George's father was Silas Hailey, married to Keziah Medlock.
John's  sisters were Martha, Sarah (married to a Cole and to a Wm Locke), Elizabeth (married to a Manning) and Mary 
(married to an Adam Lagrone).  I would be interested and appreciative of hearing from anyone with connections to 
these families in Richmond and Anson counties.  Patricia Selvaggi. 301-942-9424

Is anyone working on the huge GRAHAM family that was in Richmond Co., NC as early as 1756?  They keep 
showing up in my BUNDY records.  There is likely a family connection here.  I'm looking for information on 
a John BUNDY who was in Richmond Co., NC on the 1820 & 1830 census.   His (second?) wife was a lady named 
Susan A. or Sussanah.. and she might well have been a GRAHAM.  The records I have found put this JOHN BUNDY 
dead by 1840 or so.  A  GRAHAM man was the executor of his estate.

anything I would appreciate it. Respectfully, Ben Phillips, Atlantic Beach, FL

I'm looking for several ancestors, but mainly information on a marriage of Dianah Beasley b.1812 d.1886. Her 
father was Daniel Beasley. Or the birth certificate for her son, John E. Snead b. Oct. 30, 1836 d Oct. 1, 1886, 
it should list his father and we can't find out for sure about him. How would I find this info.? They all lived 
in Richmond County along with the Sneads. She supposedly married an Absalom snead in 1839, but already had this son 
James E. Snead when she married him and rumor is he was from her prior husband, maybe a Daniel who was a brother 
of her new husband. He obviously died between the time the will of her daddy Daniel Beasley was made Jan. 29, 1829, 
since at that time he mentions Dianah in his will, although not spelled right, and Daniel Snead is a witness. Absalom 
and Dianah came to Ga. and then Al. I know where James E. Snead is buried and his wife Harriet. He was a civil war 
veteran and he's my grt grt granfather. He's buried in Forney, Al. I'd love to know where Absalom is buried. Also 
like to have proof of who Absalom that married Dianah's father is, so I can go up the line with it.  Thanks. Please 
email or call  Rhonda Morgan Gilreath 256-475-5388
