Looking for information on my father's side. My father was Don Judson Ladd his father was James Preston Ladd his father was Miles Ladd an his father was Payton Ladd all from Wilkes county NC. Can't find any information on Payton after 1859 federal census age 29 at that time. He was married to Fanny also in the household Joseph Ladd age 84 I believe this to be Payton's father but can't find anything on either one before the census. I do know Payton is miles father have death certificate on miles. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning!

 
I am researching my Sheffield line. I know that James Douglass and Jame Sheffield were in Wilkes County and also moved to Carter Co TN.
These two were on land deeds in both counties in the late 1790's.

SHEFFIELD

Thanks!

Subject: Wilkes County-Surnames: Laws/Lipps/Church/Craft/ and incedental to those Blackburn/Triplett


I am interested in information on William Laws, b. 3 May 1822 in Tennessee; married Celia (Selah) Lipps 19 Oct 1849 in Wilkes County NC; according to US Census reports in 1850 he lived in Watauga, Watauga, NC; 1860 Tennessee; 1870 Pine Swamp, Ashe, NC; 1880 Lewis Forks, Wilkes, NC; 1900 Idaho.

William & Celia had four children, all born in NC:
Martha M. 13 Dec 1850
Mary Jane 30 Apr 1852 (married Calvin Coles Blackburn)
Clarissa M 6 Jul 1854 (married William Triplett)
William Pennington 14 May 1864 (my great-grandfather) in Lewis Fork, Wilkes, NC

I'm also interested in info on the line of Celia Lipps (or Lips or Lippe) born 14 Nov 1829 to John Lipps and Martha Church - (all of them born in Wilkes NC) and died between 1880 and 1900 probably in North Carolina or Idaho.

Martha was the daughter of Elija Church and Charity Caft.

William & Celia's marriage is listed in the North Carolina Marriage Collection, 1741-2004, but no image is available online at this time.

I have not been able to track the Laws line beyond William. According to a pedigree chart created by Maude Laws (Wm P's daughter), Wm's father was L. Laws, grandfather Laws, great grandfather Lawes (English). John Lipps (1790-1874) was of Swiss ancestry and married "Johnte" (typing is blurry so not positive that's the correct spelling) who died at age 102.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fox Surname: Fifth and fourth Great Grandfather - Francis Fox Sr., and Francis Fox Jr.
 

Seeking any information on Francis Fox Sr, born circa 1750, married unknown, and had a son, Francis Fox Jr born circa 1785. Francis Fox Sr. wife passed sometime after 1810 and he remarried Catherine Harper in 1818 Wilkes County. There were three children, Jesse, born circa 1814, Jackson, born circa 1816, and Elizabeth, born circa 1819. These 3 children were probably Catherine's children when they were married. Francis Fox Jr. married Bridget (last name unknown born circa 1785)  probably around 1800. Son William Moses Fox , my 3 times great grandfather, born 1801 to 1804,  and Lindsay, Matilda, and Linville. Francis Fox Sr served in the Revolutionary War for 3 years, enlisting at Duplin County. Francis Fox Jr. served in the War of 1812. Census records move forward with both Fox great grandfathers from 1800 in Wilkes County. Any information regarding the Heritage of Francis Fox Sr. and any Fox surname in the Wilkes County area  would be greatly appreciated and grateful.

Thank you
Mark

Surname:

 WALLS, WEATHERMAN

I am researching my Weatherman- Walls line and am in need of specific information on a Jacob Walls b. 1759 in Culpepper County, Va and moved to North Carolina to Wilkes County about 1773.  During the Revolutionary War he was first a Wilkes Volunteer and then served on the Continental Line. 

 He married a woman named “Ann” (would love to know her last name).  They had one son, Joseph, in 1772.  He lived  in Wilkes County until his death (which I believe was in 1852, but I would like to confirm that).
