Cabarrus Co, NC - Robinson File/Foil

PATreePeeper — 2009-03-23 16:05:58Z

Hello! Does anyone know where Robinson File might fit into the File/Foil ancestral lines of North Carolina?

I'm stuck at Robinson Foil, abt 1820 to Aug 2, 1862 (died of disease in the Civil War). He was married to an Ellen or Eleanor (possibly Fink?), and sired at least 3 children (Martha, John, Caleb). Martha married Anthony Graeber Bost, and is the ancestor who inspired this search.

Any more info about Martha's family and ancestors would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Yes, it's all familiar, literally . . . . My mother was commonly known as Nina. My father was born on October 15th 1900 in New Romney I think, his father (my grandfather) was a boot maker and at some point had a shop in Bexhill on Sea. As a child I visited Doris often, her adopted son Jeremy and her adopted daughter Zena. I remember Jessie and / or Elsie visiting us from Canada, her husband was Lionel?

I'm living and working in East Anglia, my brother, Matthew G File lives in Lewes and we have semi regular contact with my fathers daughters from his first marriage. They are, Miriam, Eunice and Stephanie (deceased).

Burnettjackie — 2005-06-12 00:08:00Z

Hello

I have some info on the File family from Elham but I don't know if it is the same line of the family that you are looking for. There were a lot of Files in the village around 1900.

My great grandfather had a sister called Mildred Longhurst and she married Leo John File in 1898. He was a grocers assistant (I believe in his fathers shop). They had a daughter Edith born 1900 and they lived at 2 Vicarage Lane (1901 census). Frederick file lived next door.

Please let me know if this means anything to you.

They moved to Montgomery county IL around 1843.

I see lots of Files in Rowan and Cabarrus County NC but I can't see where Geo/George fits in with this group. Can anyone help out??

Thanks Ryan, I believe my gt granfdfather Charles married to Elizabeth Mary Bourne is the one you are searching for. Charles was born around 1821 and died in 1875. We visited Elham church and found his grave.
He had Charles 1857, Emma 1859 John 1862, Edward 1864( my grandfather) Mary 1866,Sophia 1870, George 1872, William 1874, Frederick 1875, Adelaide 1877 and Jessie 1879. Quite a busy chap!
Charles had a farm at Ottinge of 700 acres employing 20 men.
In 1891 he had a servant EmmaOliver born in 1869 in Stouting Kent She had a daughter Kate born in 1896. I believe you wanted to know about her.
I have information about some of Charles children. I wonder if one of them was Kate's father?
Do let me know if I can help. Mary (nee File)

Re: File family in Kent,England
