Gray Family of Onslow

mgtraynor — 2013-03-25 21:34:18Z

Nathan Gray c.1765-1825 (wife Nancy) b.probably Dobbs Co. Lived in Dobbs, Duplin, Lenoir and died in Onslow. Appears to be son of Ludwick/Lodowick Gray who moved to Dobbs(or New Hanover) in the 1750's from Pasquotank. Ludwick/Lodwick
Gray was a grandson of Griffin or Griffith Gray who settled in Albemarle in the 1660's and died there in 1680's. Gabriel Gray b 1788 d 1856 was the eldest son of Nathan and Nancy. Another son was Joseph Clark Gray b. c1805 (may have married a daughter of Hosea Williams, Mary who married Phillip Aman, Lucretia who married Jesse Cooper. Other children unidentified. I am interested in exchanging information with anyone researching this Gray family.

Check out the website http://marinebasehomes.smugmug.com. It has pictures and documents from Camp Lejeune's takeover of the land. The Coston cemetery was in tract F-10. Go to Records>Area F>F-10 Coston Cemetery to see descriptions of all the markers as well as blueprints of the cemetery. Then go to Highlights/Information/Background Galleries>Family Cemeteries and look at image 34 for a letter about where they were moving the graves to.

Randall Family in Onslow County

mmboston1 — 2013-03-03 01:33:51Z

Looking for any info on the ancestors/decendants of a Rebecca Randal(l), 1740-1790. She married a John Boston, who was a Major in the Revolutionary War. Probably lived in the Richlands area after she was married as that is where he owned property. She had a son named James who was born on Dec. 14, 1767 in NC. Rebecca's father may have been either William or Alexander. Any info would be appreciated.

Re: Onslow Co. 1790 Shepherds / Shepards etc. Make Connection ???

pshepard50 — 2013-02-25 02:19:19Z

Frazel (Frazelle)

frazelleking — 2013-02-14 19:34:00Z

In 1871 in Onslow County, North Carolina, my great grandfather, Jerome B. Frazel (Frazelle) married Margaret Byan(t)-four years after his first wife died. I have been looking and looking for years for a picture of Margaret. I have one of Jerome and one of his first wife, but nothing of my great grandmother Margaret. If anyone has anything they could share with me I would be most greatful.

Re: Robert Benjamin Greer

BESHENOUR — 2013-02-01 03:28:05Z

If his birth date was 7 Feb. 1899 on the WW II draft registration form, why wouldn't he have appeared on the WW I draft card registration? WW I was from 1917-1919 right?

I found a Robert Benjamin Greer or Robert B. Greer in USN but it does not tell where he was from or when he entered USN.

Robert Benjamin Greer

BESHENOUR — 2013-01-29 11:50:09Z

Robert Benjamin Greer, born in Onslow County, NC on Feb. 7, 1899..married to an Ella Ward from Wilmington and they were living in Wilmington when 1940 census was taken. If any one is working on Greer Families of Onslow county, please contact me. Ella is deceased and the one living relative is 92 yrs. old and no help remembering when Robert disappeared from their lives.

Re: Moses Cox Family

mmboston1 — 2013-01-19 06:53:20Z

If you do a public tree search on ancestry.com, you will find alot of trees and most that have Charles Cox and Rebecca, his spouse will list at least 1 if not more Moses.
Good luck.

John Boston who married a Cox daughter

mmboston1 — 2013-01-19 06:43:01Z

Looking through the will of Charles Cox of Onslow County(1771), it was mentioned that John Boston, a son-in-law was given the unborn child of the female slave, Peg. Further info leads us to believe that the Cox daughter was already deceased at the time of the will. We are looking for the name of that daughter and wonder if it could be Rebecca, named after her mother, Charles Cox's wife. We have info that says John Boston married a Rebecca Randal about 1760.
Could Randal be a middle name, not last? Anyone who may be able to help, please contact us.

Hello Jane,
Can you tell us more about Richard Thomas Gibson and where he lived throughout his life? Who did he marry? Names of his children? Did other members of Thomas Gibson's family migrate to Tennessee, as well?
Thanks,

Boston Family of Onslow County

mmboston1 — 2012-12-29 15:55:03Z

My husband's family has been traced back to John Boston, who was either born in VA or NC in 1737. He married Rebecca Randal who was born in 1740 in Onslow County. They married about 1760. We know that John Boston was Major in the Onslow Militia and supposedly fought in the battle of of the Guilford Courthouse, along with 3 brothers, one may have been Matthew. We were told that 2 of them died on the battlefield but neither were John or Matthew.

Any info on Boston's in the area in the late 1600's through the 1700's would be appreciated.

Amos Barnett family

Charles Lee, 1790 Census

1_davidrlee — 2012-12-10 15:05:11Z

I'm looking for any information on Charles Lee who is listed in the 1790 census of Onslow County. There is also a Charles Lee who married Sabra Butler on 5 April 1791 and I'm trying to connect the two records as well as find out anything else about them and their offspring. It is likely that they moved to Edgecombe and/or Johnston County later in the 1790's.

Guardian Accounts, Book E (1794-1860) p. 1457
A list of expenditures of minor heirs of JAMES EVANS, deceased, lists MARY EVANS's account with John A. SANDERS and brothers, Wm. P. Ferrand's account, Solomon E. Grant for schooling.
Jessee KING, guardian to minor heirs of JAMES EVANS, deceased, 1837; namely, Mary Wantlan and Edward Evans. [this is transcribed incorrectly. the minor heirs are: Mary, Watson, and Edward]

Sally Evans married Jessee King 17 Feb 1830. He lived near her grandfather, John Evans, who was 60-70 , 1830 Census. When she married Jessee King her little sister, Mary Elizabeth Evans, also came to live with them as proven by the second female enumerated in the house of Jessee Evans in 1830. 2 Females 10-15 years old.

Sally Evans King died after 1842 the year of the last know child born to she and Jessee. and before the 1850 census. could Sarah have died in childbirth with the birth of John, her last child?
Mary was still living with Jessee and Sally at the time of Sally's death and Mary naturally would have stayed to help care for her neices and nephew.
Mary's children were born 1846,1849, 1855, Julia A. M. Evans, and John Evans and Nan Evans. Jesse King was taking care of Mary and her children until Mary died.

Family Folk Lore said that Julia was 3 years old when her mother died [@ 1858-59]. This is not possible. It is possible that her sister, Nan, was 3 years old when their mother died.[ Nan was born 1855/56.]
That makes Julia 11 or 12 years old and John 8 or 9 Years old when their mother, Mary EVANS, died.
Jessee King had his own children to rear so he found homes for Mary's illegitimate children.

Absolom Brown was already married{ in1856} when Julia came to live with him about 1858/59.
John Brown was not married when Nan came to live with him. so the story of the little girl climbing into a lap has to be Nan and not our Julia.
I don't know where John EVANS went. Possible he went with either of these gentlmen. Family tales tell us John Evans died young and is buried near Wilmington. Absolom Brown and John Brown are brothers.

the question still remains: WHO is the daddy?
Family folk lore has it that he is an Indian.
Do all of them have the same dad?

Re: Daniel Edward and Susan Hudson

Yardley1082 — 2012-10-22 20:32:59Z

I was told they moved to SC and the first children were born in SC. I think Horry, SC. They moved back to Onslow County,NC and shortly Daniel Edward died. He does not appear on 1850 Onslow co, nc Census with Susan and children. Daniel Edward HUDSON and Susan PIERCE HUDSON are my ggggrand parents. I was told Susan is buried in the Barber Cemetery. I believe they had 8 children.
[?F,?F,John, Jimmy, Edward, "Sue" Susan, Bryant William, Sealy.
their 2nd son "Jimmy" Daniel James HUDSON married Julia Ann EVANS(my gg grand parents). they had 9 children.
Their 3rd is James "Frank" Franklin HUDSON who married "Indie" Indiana FLOYD.(my great grand parents) Their daughter is my grandmother.
Julia Ann EVANS had sibblings. HEr Little sister is Nan EVANS ROYSTER; and a little brother named John. John died young. Absolom B. BROWN and his wife Sarah Elizabeth HOLT raised Julia. "Nan" was about 3 years old when her mother died.
Family tales tell us that Nan climbed into the lap of whoever raised her and asked if she could go home with him. They packed her things in a Red hankerchef. Their mom's name is Mary Elizabeth Evans. Her mother was not married to her father from what I was told by my grandmother. Any info on this family is appreciated.

I’m not related to any member of this family.

1940 is the last available census at this time.

NC Vital Records -
NC started collecting/recording birth/death records in 1914.

FL Vital Records -
The law requiring the registration of births and deaths in Florida passed in 1917; however, it was many years after that before we had consistent registration. While we have some birth records dating back to 1865, they are sparse.

In 1787 Eliner ADAMS were given a gift (??) in Onslow Co., N.C., viz: Reuben Adams and Starling Adams. Anyone have any further information on this family? Was Eliner's husband Ezekiel? What happened to these 2 children? Any help appreciated.

Re: Daniel McDaniel

janetmirovining — 2012-09-19 19:20:36Z

Hi Jo Ann,
I know this says Janet she is my cousin in Daytona and we share Ancestry. Daniel McDaniel was my GGGGgrandfather and the Edward Archibald McDaniel you mention is indeed Daniel and his first wife's son. I also see a question from my cousin Al McDonald on this link and he says Daniel probably died about 1848. The Stump Sound, Onslow, NC 1850 Census does show Holland Guthrie McDaniel age 50 and her son from a previous marriage William J. Guthrie and Issac McDaniel brother to Edward. I did send away for a copy of their marriage license and will send you a copy if you want, also have Edward and Rose's. Do you know the full name of Hollands first husband and her maiden name?
Edward and Rose (Barber) moved their family from NC to Florida in early 1850s and first show in the 1860 Port Orange, Volusia County, Census were he build a large hotel on the 69 acres he got in a federal land grant and the descendents of Edward still live in the Port Orange area. If you want to see a little bit more of them you can log onto my blog at http://portorangeted.blogspot.com/
I live in Atlanta but will retire next year and move back to Port Orange. I do a lot with the local P. O. Historical Society. I would love to know more about Holland Guthrie and any info on Daniels first wife, some think her name was Mary but I do not know. If interested I can send a pdf of Edwards section that show how they lived in Fl and influenced the area. To confuse the matter he changed the surname McDaniel to McDonald in the 1880s. Several versions of why but I researched the Volusia files and no official name change just mentioned in a 1884 deed.
I did contact Ora Smith with the Onslow Co., Historical But she thinks we are part of another Daniel McDaniel in NC. I will be glad to help in any way I can. I do most of the family history for the Johnson's and McDonald's and quite a few others.

Daniel McDaniel, Onslow County, NC

janetmirovining — 2012-09-14 19:19:03Z

Looking for any info on Daniel McDaniel, he is my GGGGrandfather.

A cousin told me: Daniel McDaniel first appears in the census of 1810 as a single man between the age of 15 and 26 (if I am reading the census right. census at that time were confusing). At the same time in Onslow County, there was a woman (head of household) named Mary McDaniel that had two sons between 1 and 10, one son between 11 and 15, and two sons between 15 and 26. Mary does not appear in later census.

Daniels son Edward Archibald gave his father’s birthplace as NC and Daniel was the only McDaniel living in Onslow County for the whole period 1820-1840. He also had a son Issac McDaniel. It looks like he and his first wife had 4 children, 2 boys and 2 girls, it is believed his first wife's name was Mary? His second wife was Holland Guthrie and per their marriage license they were married in Onslow, NC August 5, 1839. I did find a Daniel McDaniel living in Onslow, County, NC in the 1830 and 1840 Census. 1830 Census shows 7 people living the home and 1840 Census shows 6 people living in home. 1 male 50-59 Daniel, 1 male 5-9, 1 male 15-19 (Edward probably), 1 female 30-39 wife, 2 females 10-14.

Daniel must have died before the 1850 Census it only shows his 2nd wife Holland age 50, Issac McDaniel age 9 and William J. Guthrie age 19 a son from her previous marriage.
Trying to find any info on his first marriage, dates, names, names of their children, when he died and where he is buried. Anything. I have lots of info to share.
I know this says Janet Vining she is my cousin and we share Ancestry. I'm Ted Johnson and live in Atlanta. You can reach me here or thru my blog, http://portorangeted.blogspot.com/

many thanks for any help

J. B. Powell was my father-in-law and he is buried in Jacksonville, N. C. beside his wife Lila. He is survived by one brother William Powell of Beaumont Mississippi whom I visited last week with my lovely daughter, Robin Powell.

J. B. and Lila had two sons, the oldest being John Baxter Powell and the younger being William Powell. John lives in Durham, N. C. and Billy lives in Cary, N. C. with his wife Helen.

Original Browns of Onslow?

JenShepard7 — 2012-09-02 14:56:07Z

I've read that one of the first white settlers to Onslow County was a William Brown around 1706. Is there any record of what happened to him?

Re: Absalom & Sarah Elizabeth Brown

JenShepard7 — 2012-09-02 14:47:56Z

I realize this post was a few years ago. Was Absalom born in 1845, son of Needham and Nancy? I am descended from the Needham and Nancy line.

My next door neighbor in Sneads Ferry, Valima Davis Lewis, was a descendant of Cornelius Breece, thru his daughter Dorie who married James Chadwick Davis. There was also a Cornelius Breece cemetery, down at Fulcher's Landing, I think, that got destroyed to build a road. I do not have the names from it but I think they may be in one of the Cemetery Records of Onslow County that Michael Whaley compiled for New Hanover Co Library. The phone number I was given to check on the availability of these books is 910-798-6305. They have them at the Onslow County LIbrary on Doris St in Jacksonville & most likely at the Main Library in Wilmington.

My son in law's ancestor is William Thomas Hall twin of Edward Hall. We are also trying to get information on their mother Nancy but no luck and also their father. I know he would love to have pictures if you have them of the Hall family.
Edward Jackson Hall's death certificate names his father as Jack Hall and nothing for his mother,Shirley

Re: Photos of Onslow County, NC Families

randysundown1 — 2012-07-31 03:02:46Z

Hi, I am related to Nancy who is the wife of Cornelius Breece . Prior to her marriage she was living in the household of Edward and Mary Hobbs, listed as Nancy Hall 27 years, in the 1850 Onslow County census. She is shown there with two 4 year old boys who we believe were her twins.They were most likely born out of wedlock. One of them, Edward Jackson Hall, was my G grandfather.By the time the 1860 census rolls around she has left the boys and married to Cornelius Breece who I believe I am correct in saying, has lost his first wife and mother of his older children including the William you refer to.As far as his presence in the Martin household, I believe he was just working in order to live since his mother had died and his dad had remarried. I do not have any of the Breece family photos ,only those of my Hall side of this family. Hope this hlps a little , Steve

Hi,
I don't know if we have connected before now, but I am interested in knowing if there was any connection between William? Breece and the Martins with whom he was living in 1860. I notice that (if I am not mistaken) he was listed as white and the Martins as mulattoes, and he may have died during the Civil War. Am I correct? I am writing this from memory right now, and may be incorrect on the first name of the young Breece fellow. One researcher told me that she thought that Susan Martin's parents were probably Cornelius and wife? Breece who lived a few doors away. What do you know about these families and why was the young white fellow living with a mulatto family? I would like to have any pictures of the Breece family to help me make any decisions and I would share pictures of some of the Martins if you are interested. Thank you so much, Rebecca Hein (Rebecca.Hein@sbcglobal.net

I am trying to find any address information I can on my father, Harry W Howard, who died in Dec 1953. He was living with his wife, Bessie, in Richlands at the time and had lived there approx 3 years, having moved from Wilmington, NC. I do have a copy of the Death Certificate and the only address on that is General Delivery, Richlands.

Hello,

Contact Kim Crouley at the Jacksonville, North Carolina Main Branch Library (Genealogy and research department). She maintains a great deal of local information. You can google the library and get her telephone number.

Also, you could try the New Hanover County library (Local History department). Google that too. Ask for Beverly Tetterton, I think she still works there.

Another avenue that you may look into is searching for "quarriteen (spelling) homes" This is were sick people were secluded, sometimes for years. There were numerous of these homes throughout Onslow County.
