Re: JOHN DUPREE

csnakard — 2013-04-30 20:28:01Z

Don:

Is this the John buried in the Dupree family cemetery in Lee County, Alabama? I believe his wife was Sarah and he was the father of John Nelson Dupree (b. about 1830 in Georgia, possibly Houston County), who married Mary Eleanor Lockhart, but would appreciate any additional info you might have. I've got a lot of info on John Nelson's descendents and would be happy to share if that's your line.

Obit look-ups

ontheroadagain_52389 — 2013-04-05 04:50:04Z

I am really hoping there is someone who monitors this board that can do a couple obit look-ups for me.

Need obits for:
(1)Margie E. Baldwin, death January 2, 2005.
(2)Kenneth Rudolph Baldwin, death April 24, 1990

They are entered on Find A Grave in Harnett Memorial Park Cemetery, Lillington, Harnett Co, North Carolina.

These are the parents of my 1st cousins husband. He was not raised around his parents to any extent and has little knowledge of them. I am trying to help him find further info on a family he knew little about growing up. Obits (especially) and further info greatly appreciated!!

Re: Benoy

pamelahilary — 2013-03-05 23:44:43Z

Hi Alan,

I'm quite sure you've found your roots.

But for the public record, your grand-dad Harlan was the son of Wilbur Emmanuel, in turn the son of Emmanuel who was son of Thomas Benoy and Jane Hix/Hicks of England.

Thomas 1833-1900 was from Werrington, Devon and Jane 1831-1916 was born in Cornwall.

The name Benoy was badly written & therefore mistranscribed on a number of U.S. censuses on Ancestry.com.

As for Thomas & Jane's family, I've managed to find most of them on the censuses and made the corrections for Benoy desc. to find them easily.

cheers,
pamela

Need death notice or record for May 1996 in Erwin, NC

Leslie85223 — 2013-02-22 04:01:52Z

Looking for death record or notice for Frances (Vollmer) Gwartney who died in Erwin on 5/17/1996. Her date of birth was 1/22/1922. Have no idea where she was born or who her parents were. Found her residence listed in Lillington, NC the year previous to her death.

I believe she may have been placed in an institution, but I'm not certain.

Would greatly appreciate any help with this.

Re: Name of watercourse near border with Johnston County

gapier66 — 2012-08-19 19:12:08Z

Hello Emily,

Having a hard time finding anything listed or labeled as such. Even USGS does not give alot of the branch names.

If you are able to scan and attach the deed, I will see if I can get a better reading on that word. Or Book and Page number.

Lots of times a deed will list a prior conveyance by book and page. If you can track it back to an earlier transfer )(or later), lots of times you can get a better listing of the names and details.

Name of watercourse near border with Johnston County

eallynm — 2012-08-18 23:22:50Z

Some of the deeds for the sale and purchase of land by members of the Moore family refer to a "Branch" that is apparently west of "Black" Mingo, the river or swamp that divides Johnston and Harnett Counties.

It is difficult to make out the name of the Branch. Is it Bolo, Bala, Bald, Bold, Bota, or something else? If you are familiar with this watercourse, does it have a new name now? Can you tell me where it is located with reference to current roads and other landmarks?

RossSmith53 — 2012-05-01 05:12:00Z

John H Morris was born in 1818 in NC according to a census report but I do not know which county in NC he was born. He married Jane Coggin or Coggins in the early 1840's in Chatham co NC. they also lived in Moore co NC next to Chatham co NC. I am searching for a direct male descendant of John H Morris through one of his sons for a DNA test. He had son Daniel born about 1846,Henry born about 1847,John born 1852-1856 and Matthew Franklin born about 1858. I know Matthew Franklin or Franklin Matthew Morris (my ancestor) went to Harnett co NC. If I can find a direct male descendant of one of his sons listed I will furnish any and all information about the MOrris family and the results of the DNA test which should show which Morris line John H Morris was from. It is a very simple test. If a male with the last name Morris descends from one of the sons of John H Morris please contact me at rsmith6670@msn.com If someone has possibly a cousin that is a direct male descendant please let me know. Thanks, Ross

Re: Genealogy Verification of Simeon T. Benton - YOB: 1803

I have no doubt that Simeon T. Benton (1808-1879) is the father of Hampton Benton (1837-1902). Simeon T. was married to Sarah Courtney........ etc.

Does this answer you question, Steve? lol!

Re: Hoke and Harnett Counties

McNeillMcLean — 2012-02-25 03:20:37Z

Mayvbe the one born in 1801 is the one I am talking about. I saw the map. The three prongs that I was talking about is Stewart's Creek TWP or Bunnlevel, NC. HWY 401 runs through an Indian burial ground.

Re: Hoke and Harnett Counties

geneputer — 2012-02-25 02:56:37Z

My Torquil was born 1801. I know of another Torquil born 1795, who ended up in Dent County, Mo. Can you identify which?

On a different note, I found the other Stewarts Creek. I have attached a map.

Re: Hoke and Harnett Counties

McNeillMcLean — 2012-02-23 17:58:50Z

Torquil was born around the 1800s, who is a descendant of Neill McNeill.

Re: Hoke and Harnett Counties

geneputer — 2012-02-23 17:41:00Z

Which Torquil, I know of 4, 1 did not come here he was earlier.

I suspect they are all related since that is such an odd name, but you just never know.

And of course most probably they are all related to the Torquil who was "Keeper of Castle Swain" in the 1300/1400 time.

Re: Hoke and Harnett Counties

McNeillMcLean — 2012-02-23 17:30:11Z

Yes the Stewart's Creek in Harntt County. I never heard of Stewart's Creek in Cumberland County, NC unless your thinking about Cedar Creek or Grays Creek. Ther are a lot of areas in Nc that have the name Creek in them. There is a township called Stewart's Creek also. The town of Bunnlevel is in it. and Torquil is a desendant of that "Black" Neill McNeill.

Re: Hoke and Harnett Counties

geneputer — 2012-02-23 17:23:25Z

Didn't know about the Indian Settlement. I've considered the Buie's Creek before but not enough info to go on and have been too busy to pursue. Are you referring to stewart's creek that branches off of ULR? or another? I've run into at least two and they are not the same as I think the other was noted as south of Fayeteville or something like that, it escapes me at the moment.

I'll have to cut this short for now, I have to go out.
Been nice chatting and I'll be thinking about your suggestions. If you think of anything else I'd be glad to hear it. I'm also trying to figure out how to get a list printed of my McLeans (18) some are from Harnett according to a quick perusal..

More later, geneputer

Re: Hoke and Harnett Counties

McNeillMcLean — 2012-02-23 17:15:53Z

I know there was a "Black" Neill McNeill was from Jura, Scotland in the 1700s. He is suppose to be the first McNeill in the NC and this is true. He had a brother named "Bluff" Hector McNeill. Their parents were Margaret Johnson and Laughlin McNeill. The parents never left Scotland. There was a creek named Hector's Creek and there should be a township after it. The three prong branch might be either Buies' Creek, NC or Stewart's Creek. There was an Indian sttlement in Stewart's Creek near the prong area.

Re: Hoke and Harnett Counties

McNeillMcLean — 2012-02-23 17:15:32Z

Re: Hoke and Harnett Counties

geneputer — 2012-02-23 17:03:27Z

Oh, well their dad Hector owned property in Harnett and I've not been able to solve his parentage, so was just wondering.

It does look like their property was close to the line so makes it hard. Broadway and Swann's Station seem to be their area and over to Jonesboro.

You don't happen to know any creek/stream that was referred to as the 3 prong branch? or the McNair house?

Re: Hoke and Harnett Counties

geneputer — 2012-02-23 16:58:24Z

Oh, but there are maps that show Moore looking like a pie wedge, you know, flat sided. And Vass is very close to the county line.

But maybe it is just the difference in map making. Either way it still doesn't help me figure where my ants were. :-O

You related to the Surveyor Neill and bro Torquil bunch?

Here's one map (if it lets me paste it)
guess not i'll have to attach

Re: Hoke and Harnett Counties

McNeillMcLean — 2012-02-23 16:57:11Z

No I'm realted to the Raven Rock McNeills and other McNeills in Harnett County, NC. Also The McKoys and McKays.

Re: Hoke and Harnett Counties

McNeillMcLean — 2012-02-23 16:49:03Z

Moore County has looked like that since the 1700s when it was formed. That appendage that sticks out should be the Vass area in Moore County, NC.

Re: Hoke and Harnett Counties

geneputer — 2012-02-23 16:27:14Z

Ahh, that might explain why Moore has that appendage sticking out there and in earlier maps not.

I always wondered why they ran the lines like they did.

Thanks for that tidbit. So most likely that occured when Hoke was set off? Don't have my maps at hand to check.

geneputer — 2012-02-23 16:19:24Z

My 4th gr grandfather, in his will, refers to property on the three prong branch.
