| Comments: | My son is working on supplemental applications for some of his father's ancestors in Gaston-Lincoln Counties,NC.
Here are our problems: We had used "Our Kin" as sources but there are no dates in it for the Births, Deaths and Marriages of the following: Marriage of Caleb Lafayette Hoffman and Mary Lovina Costner (we have the death certificates) All of the above for: Michael Henry Costner and Lavina Rudisill Frederick Hoffman and Lavina Lineberger We have purchased the Record copies of the following and they do not prove the lineage thrugh the children that bring us to Caleb Lafayette and Mary Lovina Costner. Should anyone there who is a member od either DAR or SAR connect to them we would appreciate their help. He has several other supplements to complete that connect to these ancestors and he is anxious to complete them. |

| Comments: | My gg-grandparents Robert (1806) and Ann Neal (1807) resided in Cleveland Co in 1850 and 1860. Ann was alone with her children in 1860. My great grandfather James Washington was their oldest child and was in Cleveland County in 1860 with his wife Ann Elizabeth Berryhill and Lenora their oldest child. I believe Robert died between 1850 and 1860. I would like to learn where he is buried and who his father was. Also what was Ann's maiden name. I would like to share info with others researching this line. My info is all documented and proven. Thanks, Vivian Neal |

Thomas had a Sarah living with him in Blailrsville, GA in 1850 could have been his mother and a sister Ellizabeth. All I have is his marriage record in Rutherford in 1841.

I had an "e" from Bev Barnes in 2001, and found it again in going through my research papers. I don't think I made use at the time of the good information she gave me and would so appreciate hearing from her. She mentioned a Cleveland County Census 1850 that could be purchased. I would love to find out from her if it could be helpful in my Hullender research. I have names and dates and am anxious to know if they are correct and connect. Thank you very much.

| Comments: | Please chack out my website.. www.rivermist.us I am interested in finding out about the "lost treasure" of the Broad. "British/Indian Gold attack." There used to be a sign about it where the Greenway is now located. I am also interested in information about "fish traps" that are at the mouth of one of my creeks (Asheworth, I think). I am doing research on the Broad (Eswau Huppeday.. Line River) and own over a mile of river frontage below Duke Power on the #1 Township side. I plan to keep the area primative but have found numerous artifacts in the area and need some help identifying some of them. (i.e. a mud and rock chimney on my place that no one knows who built it nor why a rock wall is around about 50 acres of my property.)
If you can help me with any of this please contact me at guyhutchins@hotmail.com or call (704)786-8500. Thanks, GUY |

Grandmother, Sarah (SALLY) Jane Whitworth- b. 1833NC (Cleveland County)-died 1927 Ark.- and her husband, Richard Lewis Hicks (b. 124 NC, died 1854 NC) We have old family letters etc . we will be happy to share. Their oldest son, William Crawford, (1850) may have had a son Crawford , and grand daughters Mary and Pearl. But surely had more descendants. Son, John Lawson b. c. 1851 had 13 children but we know little of his descendants, except for grand daughters Laura, Sarah Barbara and third son Francis A. born C. 1854/. We would love to hear family stories from any descendants. Thanks Barbara and Gene curious siblings We are descended from her only daughter, Emily (Emma) Jane Hick Lewis, who moved to Newmexico, then Arkansas. |

| Comments: | Am a big fan of BRGS - just submitted my application for membership. Am searching for whereabouts of mulatto bond-servant Sarah Brooks, believed to be in the area of Lattimore and/or Duncans Creek between 1808 and 1842. Sarah is mother of Winnie Brooks (1809-1883),Nathaniel Brooks (1818-1893) of Duncans Creek and Jerry Brooks (c1810-1886) of Crowders Mountain. Sarah may have worked in the homes of friendly white families such as Housand Harrill, Richard Martin or the Ledfords of the Duncans Creek area. The Ledford family is known to have lent money to help pay for the freedom of Sarah's slave partner (Robert?) who was the father of her children. It is a beautiful story that Rutherford County should know about and be proud of. |

Pattie Lee Alexander married Billy Joe Miley. Her parents were Taylor Thorne Alexander and Cora Lee Crossley. Taylor Thorne Alexander's father was William Pinkney Alexander and his mother was Ethyl ("Ethel) Simmons daughter of Myra Jane Thorne; I'm not quite sure which Thorne brothers Myra Jane married. It's possible she was married to one of the Thorne's who served the Confederacy in Company D, 16th Regiment of NC Troops out of Rutherford County: 1. Thomas J Thorn, 2nd Lt, Commissioned 29 Aug 1862, died of wounds received at Gettysburg July 1863 2. William F Thorn, 2n Lt, promoted from 3rd Sgt 1 May 1861, died 13 Oct 1861 Alum Springs, VA 3. R M Thorne, enlised 25 Feb 1863, Killed 3 May 1863 at Chancellorsville. Any information will be greatly appreciates. |

"Thank you so much for allowing me to delve into your genealogy data. It is very extensive. All though I found quite a few surnames in common,I could not make a link. And the strange thing is my grandmother had red hair and blue eyes. And the other thing was the Cabiness surname.I have been working on my genealogy for about a year and I had just located this name in my group and before I could investigate it,my computer got struck by lightening and blew everything up. So now I just about have to start from scratch. Thanks again Dorthy Caldwell Hillhouse/Conner" |
