| Comments: | My ancestry is traceable to Marion Agnes Land Rookes (look her up).
Both myself and my life partner (who recently reconciled with his pastor) decided to align with the Church to form "A Peace Of History." We educate about the post-Slave era, the importance of Abraham Lincoln, etc. We are looking for period clothes. Our seamstress went against our wishes and used modern sewing equipment. Not only that, but my partner's daughter's dress has a red stain in a place I won't mention. We are also accepting period clothes (unsoiled) from the 1858-59 era. |

She, was invited to attend and discuss differences between "period clothing" and costumes. The amount of information that I saw in thier library, impressed me, and stirred my intrest into my own background, Hence, here I am Looking to trace back our bloodlines.
I already have a link from a cousin, that put one of my grandmothers, great-grand-fathers in Lincoln Co., around 1807. Thanks, and I hope to be using and/or communicating with your group. |

| Comments: | To Whom It May Concern,
I am Barry H. Beattie of San Marcos, San Diego County, CA and I was a cousin and good friend of Catherine Lucille Beattie Helms a twin. We spent many years working on genealogy for our Beattie Family Lineage together. The last time I heard anything about her was from one of her daughters that used Catherine's e-mail address to contact me. She informed me that Catherine has had a stroke and is currently in a coma in the hospital. Just recently, Warren Jeffery "Jeff" Johnston, another Cousin of Gaston Co., Gastonia found me on the internet and he indicated that both Catherine and her husband, Arnold, of Charlotte, NC are deceased. I would dearly like to get in contact with some one that can get me in contact with her family because I know that with all her love, effort and research, she never completed a family genealogy journal. I have been doing research along with Catherine for about 20 years and I have put together two journals for my Beattie and Stroup Family Lineage. I am hoping to contact a relative of Catherine's to determined if they are interested in getting a CD of these two journals.

| Comments: | I'm glad to have discovered your most interesting website. I enjoyed reading the comments and inquiries of so many searchers for geneology information about ancestors from the Lincoln-Gaston Counties area. I have been acquiring information about my mother's people, both maternal and paternal sides...and it only leads me to yearn for more. I am the daughter of Kate Cameron Hines Johnson. Mother's parents were William Walter Hines (often referred to as "W.W.") and Elizabeth (Lizzie)Cown (Cowan) Arney. On the Hines side I am descended from the Summerow, as well as Rudisill families. My grandmother, Lizzie Arney, was descended from Christian Arney, Sr., who served in the Revolutionary War, and who lived in Gaston, later Lincoln County. Her mother was Mary Chunn, descended from Chunns of Rowan County, as well as Cowans and Hydes. Of course, I am very interested in information about any of these families. Mother died in April, 2008 at the age of 97, only shy of 98 by a month (May 19, 1910 was her birthdate).
I'll be sending in my application for membership in the Gaston Lincoln Genealogical Society tomorrow! PS My dad was Edgar Lee Johnson of Granite Falls, NC, so Caldwell, Alexander, and Catawba Counties are territories I'm researching, too! |

| Comments: | Thank you for visiting our website and the wonderful comments that make my work worthwhile.
There are a couple of questions I've been working on for years and I thought I'd throw one of them out, maybe some of you will know the answer: James Proctor married Margaret Neely "Peggy" Whitworth. In 1850, James and Margaret were enumerated in Cleveland County, NC. James was a farmer and they lived only two houses away from his mother. By 1860 James and Peggy had added three children to their family and were living in the Craigeville Post Office area of Gaston County, NC. They lived next door to Peggy's brother William and his family. Members of her grandmother's Craft family also lived nearby. From North Carolina Troops, A Roster, by Weymouth C Jordan states (Company G, 34th Regiment of NC Troops): James A Proctor, Private, was born in Rutherford County and resided in Lincoln County where he was by occupation a farmer prior to enlisting in Lincoln County at age 33, on or about 30 September 1861. He was captured at Falling Waters, Maryland, 14 July 1863 and confined at Old Capitol Prison, Washington, DC, then transferred to Point Lookout, Maryland on 8 August 1863. He was transferred to Elmira, New York 16 August 1864, and paroled at Elmira on 9 February 1865, at which time he was transferred to Boulware's Wharf, James River, Virginia, where he was received on or about 21 February 1865 for exchange. He is also represented in the same set of books as having enlisted in Lincoln County in Company E, 34th Regiment, on 11 September 1861, and having discharged 15 July 1862 by reason of asthma and dyspepsia. James' death was apparently under suspicious circumstances. On her pension application in 1901, Peggy states James was "killed" in 1872. However, the in the Lincoln County Coroner's Inquest files located at the Archives in Raleigh, NC, (CR 060.928.1) I found a receipt which states "Lincoln County, To David Boyles, Esq, For attending on the jury Held over the Body of James Proctor Decd His services five dollars $5.00, April 26 1869". Was James Proctor who died in 1869 the same James A Proctor who was married to Peggy? I believe they were one and the same. Our James was not with his family when the 1870 Federal Cenus was enumerated Margaret and her children were living in the North Brook post office section of the Laurel Hill township of Lincoln County, NC. I have heard thru the genealogy grapevine that James may have been killed somewhere near the Kadesh Church (edge of Cleveland and Lincoln County) by a "Washburn fellow". Does anyone know if if this is true? Can anyone point me toward resources to prove or disprove as I have yet to find anything past the coroner's report. Thanks, Judy |

| Comments: | In a book titled "The Annals of Haywood Co." by W.C. Allen (1935) it is written on page 508, "William Clark came to Haywood Co. from Lincoln about 1830..." I believe the reference to "Lincoln" most likely refers to Lincoln Co. I know he was my ggggrandfather and I still live on property settled by one of his sons, W. Levi Clark, my gggrandfather. I would be grateful to know anything about William Clark's ancestry and the origin of his family.
Thanks for an informative and interesting website. |

| Comments: | You have an amazing web site. Hopefully through this site I can learn a little more about my early ancestors and help me clear up a few questions I have about them.
Mt GreatGGG Grandfather was John Glen (1726-1828) of Lincoln County NC, (Born near Londonderry Ireland), who was married to Elizabeth Spratt, second to Jane McLean, and then third to Mary Grissom. I descended from the marriage of John and Jane through their son David who was born in NC in 1780. David married Elizabeth Grissom which I would assume was related to his Step-Mom Mary Grissom. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who could maybe fill me in a little on the North Carolina Glenn’s of this line. I do know that many of John Glen's children move from NC to Tennessee and other points west sometime prior to 1850. Others I am told remained in North and South Carolina. I have very little information on David Glenn other than he moved to Tennesee and died their around 1860. Why did he move to Tennessee?. Then again his Step-Mom may also be his Mother In-Law. I may have answered my own question. I wish I knew more bout him. I’m also a big Civil War buff and am very interested in learning about distant cousins who fought in that war and with who. I was so far able to confirm 2 who were in the famed “Bethel Regiment” , the 11th NC Infantry. If you have any information you can share or have web links that may help me, send to: glenndw@hotmail.com David Glenn Washington State |

| Comments: | My mother and I used to be members of the Gaston/Lincoln Genealogical Society back around 1997 or so. Her name was Catherine Mason Carpenter Beck and she lived her entire life in Gastonia, NC. My father was very ill at this time and we were not able to continue, but we enjoyed the meetings we did come to, and got great information on her grandfather who served in the War Between the States. I am looking for a friend of my mother's who I believe was buried in Hollywood Cemetery in Gastonia. His name is John B. McFalls who was killed I believe on February 5, 1943 in a collison of two bombers near Newberry, SC. His parents were Mr. and Mrs. Fred McFalls. I do not know how to access the cemetery records at Hollywood. If someone can tell me that I would appreciate it very much. Thank you very much, Sincerely, Karen Ringer. |

Rutledge 1809-1883 who married Belinda T. Pinner 1812-1899. Believe her father may have been Winaford Pinner 1782-1846. James Rutledge, son of George Rutledge 1774-1856, who was the son of James Rutledge 1746-1825. They lived in the area of Lincoln Co. that became Gaston Co. and were all burried in Goshen Cemetery. Would appreciate any information that someone may have on this family. The daughter of James and Belinda married Andrew Robinson Henderson in 1850.

Jonas Brown is my ggggrandfather and is 23 years old in 1860 living in the household with his father John Brown and his mother Catherine Brown, along with many other family members andhis one year old son, Jonas. Then I find he joined the 16th regiment from Gaston County. He later is said to have deserted in 1865. Can you please help me find out where there farm was, If he came back to Gaston Co. after the war, if he was hung, inprisoned, defected to the North, or just whatever happened to him. In 1880 the census shows that his father John Brown is now 80 years old and living in Shelby, N.C. His son, Jonas is now 21. Help
