I am looking for Parents, Uncles, Aunts, etc: for my GGF: Albert S Kennedy--Bn: 19 Dec, 1830 in Duplin Cy, NC.....Died: 12 Nov 1897 in Walton Cy, Fl. Several people have John Joshua Kennedy and Elizabeth Wilder as his parents, but I can't confirm these facts. Also I believe a Luther S. Kennedy is related to Albert.
I have a Civil War Bible that belonged to Albert S. Kennedy and it's written in the pages "LS Kennedy, 61inf. Clingmonds Brigade"
Any info would be greatly appreciated
Sincerely
Sam Kennedy in Oklahoma

Hi my name is Norma McAdams and I was raise in North Carolina and am trying to do research on my family. I have a great Aunt, Lula Stewart Taylor that married Nathaniel Meazak Jurney in 1916 in Carteret County. Mr. Jurney (Journey) died in Mt. Olive on November 19, 1931. I am looking for suggestions on how to discover more about my Aunt. I found his dead (Nathaniel Jurney) certificate on Ancestry.com and thought of asking Random Acts of Genealogical to find more but they do not cover Wayne Co., in North Carolina.
Thanks Norma B. McAdams

I am looking for information on Benjamin Ward born around 1795 possibly in
Greene County NC. The 1850 Census lists him living in Wayne County with
Wife Nancy. Any information on where Benjamin or wife Nancy Hinson came
from would be great.
Thanks,
Bill

I am trying to find family history of the Wilsons, one Simeon Wilson, who
was born in Wayne and I am assuming that is Wayne Cnty, NC, in the year
1800. He is the son of Jonathon and Mary Rutha Green of Surry, NC. I am
just wondering if you have any info pertaining to this family in Wayne Cnty.
Simeon married a Nancy Williford of east Tenn. And moved through the Gap to
Straight Creek in Harlan Cnty, Ky. There are a bunch of Colletts that live
around here and they said that they came from around Wilson, NC. Asher,
Brock, Caldwell, Sizemore are some other common family names where we live
in Ky.

Hello. My ancestors were Parkers who, having come down from Isle of Wight, settled into what is today Hertford, Northampton, and Bertie. For 6 years I've been studying them, their neighbors (according to land deeds), and the families joined by marriage to them.
I'm finding the same identical full names in the 1788 Wayne Co. census index and also in deeds I've come across.
Can you tell me if there was in fact a connection between these two counties during the late 1700s and into the early 1800s? Was it land grants? Did these people migrate back and forth? Was it a Quakerism connection? I would be thrilled to read any historical information you know of, that possibly connects these two counties.
