The following records were transcribed verbatim by Debbie Loefgren from the handwritten journal of Horatio S. Creekmur.  The following e-mail was received from Debbie on Nov. 22, 2005.

I agree with you that it looks like Bible entries, but what I have are 4 yellowed pages of  paper that have been torn out or were loose to begin with.  They are pretty small, about 4"x5".  My grandmother gave them to me but I was not as interested then as I am now and didn't ask her any questions about them...and now of course my grandmother is no longer alive.  Her father was Wilson Preston Creekmur.  Wilson and his brother, Samuel, ran off and joined the 4th Carolina Cavalry during the Civil War...Wilson was only 14.  He was captured shortly afterwards and spent the entire war in a prison camp, being discharged at the age of 18.  I didn't know anything about his life until he moved to Currituck Co. and married my great grandmother, Adelaide Williams (his 2nd wife).  Addie was a school teacher in Moyock and from what I was told, Wilson donated land for the school and also helped bring a doctor to Moyock, giving the doctor a house. ( I think his name was Dr. Mann).   I wish I knew more about Addie.  Her father was from Snow Hill and was named Daniel but I don't know her mother's name at all and I haven't been able to find a Daniel Williams that matches up with Adelaide.

*Bryan Davis followed up with this e-mail after seeing this record go online:

This information was found on www.familysearch.org in IGI and Family Group Records:  Sarah Turton (daughter of Archibald/Abner Turton and Sarah Ferabee) married William Hutchings.  They had children Joseph Ferabee Hutchings (b 28 Jun 1821), George Hutchings (b abt 1823), Thomas Hutchings (b abt 1825), Elizabeth Hutchings (b abt 1827), and Sarah Jane Hutchings (b 1829). All children were born in Currituck, NC.  William Hutchings died in 1828. Sarah Turton Hutchings then married Creekmur in 1834, hence the “H” in her last name that was hard to read.
