| Comments: | I was wondering if you have any information on David Jenkins of Cleveland County and if you can confirm his service during the Civil War. I believe he along with his Brother John S. Jenkins served in Company D, of the 26th Regiment North Carolina State Troops. I believe they were both born in Lincoln County but lived in Cleveland County and their Father and Mother were David Jenkins and Elizabeth Hawkins/ Hogans. David was born either on Dec. 14, 1825 or June 12, 1831 in Lincoln County, North Carolina, was Married in Cleveland County, North Carolina on Oct. 11, 1852 to Sarah Long and Died in Cleveland County on Dec. 11, 1914. He is Buried in El Bethel Cemetary Kings Mountain, North Carolina.

| Comments: | I am looking for any information on my mama's family. I am trying to find out about more than just names and dates though the names and dates are minimal on this line. Any suggestions or help are greatly appreciated.
I know this: Mama's name is Penny Sondra Martin and her parents were Iris Louise Moore and William Hosea Martin. Grandmama's mother was Cecil Dolly Trent and her father was Asia Irvin Moore. She was the daughter of William J. Trent and Julia L. Webber (I have a picture of her). Julia was the daughter of Joseph G. Webber and Mahala Webber. Asia Moore was the son of John O'Neil Moore and Sarah Kisiah Bridges. On Grandaddy's side I have him as the son of Thomas P. Martin and Dovie Hudley Scoggin. Thomas P was the son of Shufford Martin and Malessia Edgerton and Dovie was the daughter of Nathan Scoggin and Mary R. Washburn. Nathan was the son of Lewis M. Scoggin and Sarah Smith and Mary was the daughter of Benjamin Washburn and Mary Dobson. |

| Comments: | My interest in genealogy has been rekindled, due to all the information on the internet!
I knew that Margaret Dickson Covington, my g-grandmother's grandmother, was born in NC in 1830 - her tombstone says so. I knew her family moved to Cherokee County, AL about 1845, where she met and married Lewis H. Covington of SC, then moved to Lauderdale County, MS, where she is buried. There was an Andrew and Jane Dickson who lived close to her in the 1850 census, of age to be her parents. My g-grandmother told my mother that her mother was a Covington, her mother was a Dickson, and her mother was a Lee. I found Andrew Dickson in Lincoln County, NC in 1830, but no Lees were around. I found proof that Andrew and Jane were her parents from what looks like family Bible information. To make a long story short, I found on the internet that Jane Dickson's maiden name was Wray, which sounds something like Lee, so I guess that's where the trouble was. She was the daughter of James Wray, and her mother was a Linton and apparently the daughter of a Samuel Linton. I have a 4-generation picture of Margaret Dickson Covington (born in present day Cleveland County) and her daugher Amanda (my ancestor) her granddaugher Lillie (my g-grandmother's sister) and Lillie's daugher. This picture was taken about 1900 - it hangs on a wall with other ancestor pictures in my house - the period clothes are wonderful! If there are any members of the Broad River Genealogical Society who are interested in the Wrays, Dicksons, or Lintons, I'd like to correspond with them. I'll also probably want to join. |

I was born in Catawba County and live today in Rowan County, NC. The Catawba County Historical Association published my books, "Tombstone Inscriptions of the Old St. Paul's Church Cemetery" and "Hayfields & Ploughshares: A History of the Blackburn Family of Catawba County, NC." I maintain family scrapbook albums on about six major family lines with concentration on obituaries. I also preserve many other obit notices from newspapers published in Hickory, Mooresville, Salisbury, and Statesville, NC. I enjoyed visiting the BRGS web site. Keep up the great work. |

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: | I believe I am a descendant of John Jones who died May 1821 and is buried at Sandy Run Cemetery in Cleveland County. I need to confirm that his son Allen born June 1791 is the same Allen Jones that died in Lawrence County, TN May 1866. Our Allen first appeared in north Alabama and southern middle Tennessee in 1819 and was a Baptist preacher.
I need a NC person to help me with research or existing info. I am attempting to contact your member, James F. Jones, because of his interest in Jones and Pettypoole. |

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.

| 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.

| Comments: | Hello everyone.
On this the eve of a brand new year, we wish you peace in 2003. I personally want to thank each & everyone one who has been kind enough to browse this site & sign the guestbook. It was my privilege to create this site and it's upkeep is a pleasure. I would, however, ask that you help me out a little. Found a mistake? Please let me know as this site is very large & it's very hard to dot every i and cross each t. Have a photograph, story or report to share? Let me know, the Rootsweb rules don't allow GEDCOMS on this site, but we can publish your information in other formats, and everyone loves pictures. Thank you again for your support and, Enjoy the trek, Judy |
