JONES / MCDONALD
I am looking for information about my Grandmother, Maude Jones Gibson, DOB 07-22-1902. She was born in Raeford, N. C. I am told her parents, James Reed Jones and Sarah Catherine McDonald, were buried in the Sandy Grove Methodist Church Cemetery. I can only find a listing for Sandy Grove Presbyterian Church so I am not sure if that is correct. I do believe that they were of the Methodist faith. Can you tell me if there is a Sandy Grove Methodist Church Cemetery and if possible, provide an address so that I can contact them. Thank you, Michael Gibson Jacksonville, Florida Posted December 26th, 1999
GOODMAN / BROWN
I am seeking information on the Goodman and Brown families.

The Bible page was in the possession of my g-gmother Sarah Catherine Brown, daughter of J. A. Brown and Ann Goodman, who married Luther Hayes Everett. Any help appreciated.

McFALL
My name is Carolyn McFALL, and I am researching my family history. I have pulled a paper off the internet which states as follows: "An early battle of the American War of Independence took place at McFall's Mill [on Raft Swamp] in Hoke County, North Carolina. Near this site was the Raft Swamp Church, now known as Antioch Presbyterian Church where McFalls hold their annual reunion."
This paper was dated February 14th, 1963. I wondered if you would know whether there is still a McFall reunion at the church, as this could prove to hold some very valuable resources for me. Or if you could possibly put me in touch with someone at the church who could give me some information about the McFall families there? Thanks very much in advance. Carolyn McFall Posted September 2, 1999

I know that my father, grandfather, and grandmother are buried there with others of my branch of the Walters family, but I don't know the name of the grounds. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Tony Walters Posted August 3, 1999

McLEOD
Because of my great grandfather McLeod's interest in geneology and history in general he contributed columns to the Hoke County Journal regarding the history of the area. I have some of them that I found in an old scrap book. The ones I have are so interesting that it has led me to speculate about there being many more than the ones that he somehow procured for the scrapbook. Does the Hoke County Journal exist? If not, is there a successor newpaper? Is there a newspaper morgue that would include old newspapers from the 19th century by any other names.
Because Hoke County didn't exist when my McLeod family lived there I assume some of what I need, maybe all of what I need, would be in Fayetteville in a library perhaps or in a newspaper morgue. Any direction you can provide on this front would be very welcome indeed.
