Searching for information of "Raft Swamp Daniel" PATTERSON, OR any info on a Daniel PATTERSON who had children named: 
Archibald PATTERSON 
Malcolm PATTERSON (died about 1837 or 38 and from whose estate record this info is derived)
Flora PATTERSON McRAE (wife of Angus McRAE of Cumberland Co., NC)
Sarah PATTERSON MURPHY (wife of James MURPHY of Georgia)
Elizabeth PATTERSON GIBSON (wife of Shockley GIBSON of Georgia who was related to GIBSONS of Richmond Co., NC)
Loveday PATTERSON HARRELL (wife of John S. HARRELL of Mississippi).

The children listed above are stated in the estate papers of Malcolm PATTERSON in Cumberland County to have 
been the children and heirs of the lands of "Raft Swamp Daniel" PATTERSON. These lands are stated to have been 
on Beaverdam in Cumberland County in the far western corner of the county which is now part of Hoke County. It 
is my understanding that the children listed above are not the children known to have been Raft Swamp Daniel's 
children. What is true?

I also have read that "Raft Swamp Daniel" and his wife lived in the eastern part of Richmond County. Did they 
always live there? Thank you for any assistance. Steve Edgerton

I am looking for Jonathan J. and Catherine M. PICKETT.  They were listed in the 1880 Census as 
living in Rockfish Community of Cumberland County with their daughter Susan and granddaughter 
Sarah.  Jonathan was born 2/13/1810 and Catherine was born 1/18/1815. They had nine children: 
1) Isaac Dalton Pickett b)9/10/1833, 
2) Anney Jane Pickett b)12/22/1836 – Anney later married Benjamin F. Sikes and moved to Robeson Cty. 
3) Isaiah Pickett b)9/7/1839 
4) Joseph Pickett b) 9/7/1839 
5) Samuel Hugh Pickett b)6/11/1842 
6) Alexander Rura Pickett b)11/26/1845 
7) Winfield Lucas Pickett b)4/19/1847 d)4/14/1864 
8) Oscar Pickett b) 11/3/1849 I believe Oscar married Flora Jane Wilkes and was later divorced, and 
9) Susan M. Pickett b)9/30/1845 d)5/18/1930 – she is buried in Cross Creek Cemetery in Fayetteville.

I'm especially interested in Oscar who may be my great grandfather.  I understand he was convicted 
of larceny in Robeson County and escaped jail.  Thanks for any help, Sid Pickett

I am hoping someone might have access to a 1982 obituary for an Ora Benson FARLEY, although I do not 
know her married name. ?  She was born 9 Jan 1915 to William and Ester Farley in Raleigh County, WV, and 
died 23 June, 1982 in Spring Lake, Cumberland, NC. Thank you very much, Carole Farley Eklund

I am looking to connect and speak with anyone researching Jacob & Flora FRANKS of Cumberland Counties. 
I am researching my Franks family line & I have been pointed in this direction. Thank you, Michelle Gregg

Looking for connection between Redding Stephens (b. 1826), Mac Guire Stephens (b. 1825), James Stephens (b. 1818), 
Paschal Stephens (b. 1802), Anderson Stephens (b. 1800), James Stephens (1794), Roderick Stephens (b. 1782). All lived 
in Cumberland County (later Harnett Co) sometime during their lives.  Anderson, Paschal, and Mac Guire moved to Wake Co, 
N. C., Redding moved out of the state (I forget where at the moment). Naming patterns suggests there is a close link.  
DNA testing has shown that Mac Guire and Redding are closely related. Roderick had males in his household that were the 
same ages as Redding, Mac Guire, Paschal, and Anderson.  Any tidbit of help would be appreciated. Sylvia Stephens

Have noticed the accounts that state that Allen CAMERON and his wife, Mary STEWART, came from the Isle of Skye.  
In my lifetime I have known elderly members of that family who definitely stated that their grandfather and great 
grandfather came from Auchtermuchty, Fife, Scotland in August 1790.  Huge D. CAMERON who wrote a history of his 
father and his own siblings stated this.  Allen/Allan CAMERON is a common name in Scotland.  Yes, there were 
Allen CAMERON'S on Skye, but not my ancestors.  Hugh D. CAMERON did not write about his grandparents.  However, 
it is possible that the Allan CAMERON and Janet ARCHIBALD who married in 1735 in Inverkeithing, Fife, Scotland 
are his grandparents.  The oldest son of Allen/Allan CAMERON was Archibald CAMERON.  The STEWARTS have a long 
history in Fife.  Would welcome comments.  Thank you.  Marcella Cameron Aldridge

Looking for any information on William Robert COPE who was married to Rebecca Mae CALHOUN on 6/20/1853.

I am searching for information on Jeremiah JOHNSON, b. abt 1793 and d. 1871, and his wife Lucretia WILDER, 
b. abt 1796 and d. 1865.  They were married about 1817 and had several children: Aquilla, John Henry, Mary, 
Priscilla, Thad, Matthew, Lucretia, Rufus, and Sarah.  Both lived and died in Cumberland County and some 
of their descendents are found in the Rockfish area.  Any information on Jeremiah and Lucretia's parents 
would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time. Jonathan Underwood

I am a CARROLL researcher for the past 15 years.  Our CARROLLs came from Sampson County to the Gibson County, TN 
area in 1848.  My earliest ancestor, John W. CARROLL (1789-1867) "appeared&qiot; in NE Sampson County sometime before 1820 
and married Elizabeth Joiner (JOYNER) in the Newton Grove area.  Elizabeth was the daughter of Robert and Lelah JOINER, 
who owned land around Newton Grove.  My findings indicate that John W. and Elizabeth farmed the Joiner land until about 
1848 when they and their children moved to Gibson County, TN. One of John W. Carroll's sons, Charles C. Carroll, married 
Fanny A. MOBLEY, daughter of Ollen MOBLEY of Sampson County, and John W. Carroll's daughter, Eliza, married Hiram W. 
FLEMING, also of Sampson County, I think.
 
I have been unsuccessful in determining who John W. Carroll's parents were.  There were 10 Carroll families in southern 
Sampson County in 1790 but none of my research, including DNA analysis, connects John W. Carroll to any of these families.  
I suspect that he might have come into Sampson from a nearby county and/or might have been adopted or illigitimate.
 
If anyone knows of Carroll family histories that included a John (W.) Carroll or the names Charles C, William James, George W., 
or John R. Carroll, I would like to communicate with them.  These last four were the names of John W.'s sons. Thank you 
very much.  Frank Edwards Fairfield Glade, TN.

In the Cumberland County N.C. Census for 1790 I found five men named REEVES in a close proximity to each other.  
Nathaniel REEVES, John D. REEVES, and Darling REEVES are next door neighbors.  A few  dwellings down I found 
Jesse Reeves and nearby is George Reeves.   

I am thinking George Reeves may be a brother or relative to William Reeves B.ca 1680 who lived in Granville Co. N.C. 
I have studied other REEVES families extensively. My proven ancestor is Thompson REEVES b. 1799 in either S.C. or Ga.    
I would be glad to hear from any one working on these lines.  Thank you.  Tommie Reeves Smith from Texas

We descend from Tapley Johnson (Johnston), Jr. (b. 1794) through his daughter Mary Anne Johnson. 
Mary Anne married William F. Blackwood (b. 1825). The Johnson family is well documented, but we are 
hoping that someone will have more information about William Blackwood. We find William and Mary in 
the 1850 census for Cumberland County, North Division. They are near Goodwin and Willis Johnson and 
Tapley is a few pages away. Any leads you can give us about the history of William F. will be greatly 
appreciated. C. Blackwood
