I am searching the CLARK family of Louisa Co, VA.  Francis Clark and wife Cordelia Lanf(k)ford, among 
their children, had Sarah who married Thomas Moreland or Moreman or MOORMAN.  The Clark family sailed 
from England to Barbados in the 1600s with the Moorman family. The younger members of the family moved 
to NC about 1750, including Sarah and Thomas Moreman, probably with her brothers, Joseph, Francis, 
Christopher, Isaac, and Benjamin, locating on the Pee Dee in Anson Co, NC.  Joseph had farms in Louisa, 
VA and Anson Co NC and had a son, Beverly, whom he willed part of his NC lands. Christopher and wife 
Elizabeth Stone lived, farmed, owned fisheries, boats, and mastered ships; Isaac and Francis with wife 
Christiana Stone returned to VA after a stay.  Christopher had two sons in Anson, Joseph and Francis.  
Sarah and Thomas Moreman are found in Quaker records.  Did Thomas Moreman have a NC will or other 
information. Thomas Gilbert

The web site Richmond County Estate Record of Isaac Armstrong is no longer available, but 
James Armstrong's is available. I am related to many of the people in the estate records. 
I am JAMES ALLRED. JOSEPH ALLRED / ELIZABETH EWING were my Grandparents. ISAAC ALLRED & 
ELIZA JANE BOSTICK were my GGraand Parents. I am also related to ISAAC EWING as GGGGrandparent 
from my family information. I can only assume I am related to JOHN ALLRED & AMELIA ARMSTRONG 
as GGGrandparent. It would seem from the Estate Records that Elizabeth Allred & James Armstrong 
were fist cousins & could not have been legally married.  There are of course other Elizabeth Allred's. 
I don't know how to determine my lineage back past Isaac Allred. Can anyone help me. James Allred (Aldred)

My Mother's name was Mary Margaret PRIDGEN and was graduated from Rockingham High School in 
Richmond County in the early 1930's I believe.  She was married to Thurmon Lee STOGNER of 
Rockingham.  I have been to Rockingham for research but never found anything on the school.  
Are there any records available in the library or elsewhere?  Mother has Alzheimer's and has 
no memory of the correct year and I was just trying to find what I could.  I hope to get back 
to Rockingham for further research at some point and wondered where I might look. Thank you for 
any help. Jane Sogner Thompson

I have copies of Richmond County Apprentice bonds for four LAMPLEY Children 
dated 4, 1798. I need information on  the procedure of granting such bonds, 
specifically would the court be given the authority to grant same if a(the) 
parent(s) were alive? 

Would there be other documents or information other than the bond itself? Was 
there a legal procedure to terminate the apprentice status at the attainment 
of age 21? Any information or reference to written material would be helpful...
Thank you, Bobbie Sue Honour

My name is John Wayne McRAE. My GGGGrandfather Christopher McRAE was a Patriot in the Revolution and 
owned land in Robson County . He bought land in Minturn ,SC, in 1805 ,died in 1813-1815. I recently had 
the pleasure to walk on his land in SC and visit with McRaes who still live on the land. My question is, 
there is a cemetery on NC 130 south of Maxton . It was late in the day and I ran out of film and darkness 
precluded me from writing down the names . There are 67 McRaes in the approximatelly 100 x 200 foot cemetery. 
The gentleman next door to the cemetery says its called the McClain or McLean Cemetery. It sets on west 
side of the road in a right hand curve..Do you have or know someone who has a list of the folks buired 
there. I live in Jacksonville, Florida and work full time. I spend my vacation time looking for cousins. 
Thanks for any help you can give, John McRae
