Searching for the ancestors of a Joseph HARE (b Sept,1749 near Fayetteville,
NC; d Sept, 1853~yes, 104 years old~Giles Co., VA) who was supposedly born,
and grew up in, the present-day area of Fayetteville in Cumberland Co.
NC. His ancestors were French Hugenots who came to America circa 1710 via
Barbados, landing first near Charleston, SC and then migrating on up to
the Cross Creek (Fayetteville), NC area in approximately the 1730's. Surely
"somebody" residing in the Cumberland/Sampson/Bladen County area
is descended from one of his 10 siblings and can provide some information
on this surname. Ancestral information from anyone having Hair/Hare ancestry
in this county (names, dates/places of birth, etc.) would be very much
appreciated.

I am seeking information on the parents, and other preceeding generations,
of Samuel Jenkins TAYLOR who was born in Robeson County on March 18, 1823.
His parents are only listed as S. and A. TAYLOR. I find a Samuel TAYLOR
on the 1820 Fayetteville Town Census as a white male 45 years and older.
There was another male in the household who was in the 26-45 age group
and a female in the 16-26 age group. This may be two generations in the
household. Any information is appreciated.

I am trying to begin tracing geneaology on Oliver EVANS. My grandmother
was Henrietta Oliver EVANS, b. 11-100-1892, d. 10-6-1976. She is buried
in a Presybterian Church Cemetery in Fayetteville. Her mother was Julia
NEWBY, father, Oliver EVANS. Henrietta married John Schlater KENT, who
also lived in Fayetteville. I think he is buried in Fayetteville, too,
although my records show he was born 11-11-1882 in Virginia. I know he
died before 1955 and he had a wholesale business during the depression
and lost it.
