 vidales@worldnet.att.net (Carol L. Vidales)Soloman SAMPLE is a curiousity to say the least. Married at least twice, and apparently widowed quickly both times, he nonetheless fathered some 8 plus children by at least 5 other different women: Irena NEAL, Nancy SAWYER, Martha SWAIN, Milly ROUGHTON and Margaret BARNES. He seems to have had some standing in the community, and appears to have taken an active role in parenting the children he fathered. Indeed, one such child petitioned the court to have his surname changed to SAMPLE, stating that his father had been good to him. As best I can tell, in the 1860 census, Soloman has at least 6 of his illegitimate children (possibly 7) in his household. It would be interesting to know more about him and his story!!! Any information on the Swain children would be especially welcome.
dmphelps3860@gmail.com(Dennis Phelps)I'm looking for information on "Munroe", or "Mero", or "Nero", or "Murray" SANDERLIN,(or Sandlin, Sanderling), born abt 1827, died before 1901. I believe all 4 names are for the same individual. Family lore states that he was from East Lake, Dare County, and is buried there in a marked grave. His wife was Elizabeth TWIFORD, born April 1829, died before 1901. I think that he is somehow related to Trimmigan SANDERLIN, but don't know how. At least 2 of his sons moved to Bertie County, probably after the Civil War. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

pjt.thom@gmail.com(Peggy Thomas)Would like to correspond with anyone currently doing research in either Tyrrell, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Currituck, or Camden Counties on early NC SAWYER families. I can prove Thomas SAWYER d. 1720 (my circumstantial evidence indicates he m. Mary JENNINGS, daughter of John JENNINGS and Dorothy [MNU] RELFE) lived Pasquotank - son Richard (m. Ann) - son Thomas (m. Keziah) who moved to Tyrrell ca 1777 - his sons: Ephriam, Griffin, and Joab and then through two lines - Ephriam through his son Josiah to Barbarann and Joab through his son Lemuel (Uncle Lamb) who married Barbarann and moved with others of the Joab line to Illinois and finally to Texas forward to me. Would specifically like to discuss controversy over early Pasquotank Co John SAWYER who died 1713 with wife listed as Joan/Jean [by the way, this wife's maiden name is NOT PROVEN, speculation only because a READING witnessed John's will. The same REDDING appears to have witnessed John JENNINGS 1713 will so more likely READING/REDDING was a neighbor to both, not Jean's father] in his will and his supposed relationship to Thomas SAWYER who d 1720. Have proven John SAWYER and his wife Mary (note that John came as indenture [probably his passage paid for much earlier by Ed BELSON who used a John SAWYER headright in his land grant 1679 VA](Mary came over as a servant) were in Carteret Court, Albemarle (later NC) in 1680 proving their headrights (3 rights). Many families in court that day settled with John SAWYER and family on the SW side of Pasquotank River so this is definitely the right John Sawyer. So the mother of John Sawyer's children probably NOT Jean but rather a Mary. Likely all the families moved to Pasquotank about 1680 but land not officially granted until late 1690s. John swears in court 1695 as a witness in SANDERLIN murder case that he is about 32 years old so he is born ca 1662-1663. This would make him about 17-18 in 1680 when he proves his rights in court. So unlikely this John would have children old enough to be the Thomas who died 1720 with grown children...daughter Dancy/Nancy called Dancy/Nancy McDANNELL (believe due to land deed of Dec 1713) that she was married to Henry McDANIEL, either son or brother of James McDANIEL. It appears that for Dancy/Nancy to be at least 18 and married by Dec 1713 she would have to be born ca 1695 and therefore for her father to be at least 18 by 1695, Thomas would have to be born by ca 1677. That would make the John born ca 1663 only 14 years old. So either John SAWYER d 1713 isn't the John who was born ca 1663 OR John Sawyer d. 1713 likely isn't Thomas SAWYER d. 1720 or the John who was born ca 1663 was John Jr, son of John d 1713. But if this is John Jr, then John Sr would have to be born ca 1643 and this would make John Sr 70 years old when he and John Jr and others are fined in summer of 1713 for not going to the Indian Wars. I think a 70 year old man is not going to be going to be asked to go to War. In addition John doesn't list any children in his headright request in court in 1680 although the other families that had children, do list them. So likely this John in court in 1680 is the John that settled on the SW side of Pasquotank River and born ca 1663 and he didn't have any children in 1680. So once more it appears that John Sr b ca 1663, Thomas had to have been born by 1676 (assigned land by John JENNINGS 1696) so Thomas too old to be son of John d1713. However, having said all that, there is no record I've found of John, Robert, Thomas, or Solomon (the four sons listed in the will of John SAWYER 1713) until 1694-96 when granted land. So where did they come from....? And Thomas SAWYER granted land in 1696 by John JENNINGS who also lived on SW side of Pasquotank River and relatively close to John SAWYER. There are also the mystery SAWYER men - Henry and William who also show up on Pasquotank records about the same time as John, Robert, and Thomas - ca 1694-1696. And finally, 22 Apr 1719 Sollo. SAWYER of the prect. Of Pasquotank plantr. For and in consideration of the sum of 13 pounds paid by John SAWYER of the afrsd Prect., sold a parcel of land by estimation 100 acres situated in Pasquotank Prect. On Thos. SAWYERS, John SAWYERS and Robert SAWYERS beginning on a branch on Thomas….Signed Sollo. His S mark SAWYER, Mary her M mark SAWYER (This is almost certainly Solomon Sawyer, son of John Sawyer d 1713. This appears to be the 100 acres left to Solomon Sawyer in his father, John's will. So the adjoining men could be his brothers who each inherited land from their father, John. I haven't found a copy of this deed at this time so don't know location of the land. And as a last point, John d. 1713 had a small amount of land (gave each son appx 100 acres). Thomas d. 1720 had lots of land, both assigned and granted and purchased (land records, grants, and his will - example, note that he gave a couple of his unmarried daughters about 850 acres to divide in addition to what he gave his sons and other daughters. So unless he got his wealth from the land given to him by John JENNINGS, why was John d. 1713 so poor and his supposed son Thomas d. 1720 so well off? Thomas' son Caleb educated and instrumental in getting Pasquotank divided into two counties, SW of River-Pasquotank, NE of River(where Thomas SAWYER lived)- Camden. As you can see, the story is convoluted and the only thing I'm certain of is that John and Thomas and likely Henry and William were related. How is the question. Would very much like to hear other opinions, facts, etc. Very unlikely they were all brothers. No record of them anywhere in VA or Albemarle before this time.

I am wanting info on his children & who his parents were. I haven't been able to find him anywhere...I'm beginning to wonder if I may have his first name wrong. Please Help.
cpschumann@home.com(Pam)On the 1900 Census J. Warren and Matilda Swain are listed with 7 children. They had 9 and 8 are living. I'm trying to find out the names of the other 2. I have a possibility on one of them. On the census, the oldest son listed is James W. Swain. I found 2 marriages with J. Warren & Matilda Swain as parents. My problem is that I'm not sure which one is James W. The names on the marriage license's are (1) J. Walter Swain, (2) Wallis Swain. So, if I can find out which one of these two is James W. then the other one would be one of my missing children. Then that would leave me to find out the name of the child that was deceased by the 1900 census. Hope you can help. Thanks.

cpschumann@cox.net(Pam Schumann)Looking over John SWAIN's (parents John & Mary (CHESSON) SWAIN) Will dated 8 Feb 1765 it mentions a couple of grand daughters Kezia & Jemime LONG. As two of his daughter's (Jemima & Esther) married LONG men, who are their parents? Also, who was John married to and can you tell me who his daughters Priscilla & Hannah married and who his son John married? I am assuming that his son Samuel is deceased since he wasn't mentioned in the will. Do you know his death date? Any additional info that you could provide on all of the above would be appreciated. Thanks!

edswain@eastern.wvnet.edu(Eddie Swain)Looking for information about the parents of my great-grandfather Edgar Lafayette SWAIN of Pasquotank County (b. 1866; d. c1928; m. Winnie WHITE of Pasquotank Co.). Edgar and Winnie's Marriage License dated July 1892 says that Edgar's parents are J--- Swain (living) and Nancy Swain (dead). Edgar was 26 y.o. on the Marriage License in 1892. I always thought the J--- was John, but it might be Jehu. An A. W. Swain witnessed the wedding. By 1906, this A. W. was married to a Martha and living in Norfolk, VA. Winnie's parents were Joshua and Elizabeth WHITE of Pasquotank County if that helps anyone make a link. There is a John and Nancy (BARNES) SWAIN in the 1860 Tyrrell Co. Census, but I am not certain if they are the right John and Nancy since Edgar wasn't born until 1866, and there is no trace of John and Nancy in Tyrrell County in 1870. The only Edgar Swain in the 1870 Tyrrell Co. Census is too old (9 y.o.) and is living with a Davenport Family. Doubt that this Edgar is the same as my g-grandfather, but it could be . . . Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Susan went by the name of SUTTON, death certificate does not give mothers name, but lists father as David BRUCE, according to son Stephen. Believe Susan was raised by Nancy, another daughter of Steven and Priscilla, who married Joshua SUTTON, and settled in OmphGhent Township, Madison Co., IL. Susan "Sutton" m. Hiram DAVIS, OmphGhent Twsp., but lived and died in Dorchester, Macoupin Co., IL. Hiram DAVIS, was first married to Eliza, "Elizabeth" TARKINGTON, of NC, who died in 1865 and he later married Susan.
