Searching for any information on William PARADISE. Records indicate there was a William in New Hanover 1755-1765. Tennessee history states two brothers came from NC between 1800-1810. One was William and the other I believe to be John. They may have had a couple of sisters.

From the Wilmington Morning Star, Thursday, October 25, 1990 Notice of Disinterment and Removal of Grave or Graves Notice is hereby given, pursuant to N.C.G.S. 65-13, that Robert E. File and Kathryn L. File intend to disinter and remove, on or before November 19, 1990, one or more graves located on their lot described as Lot No. 51, Block 13, Landfall Subdivision I on the plat and survey recorded in Map Book 15, Page 4G, New Hanover County Registry. The lone headstone for the grave(s) reads 'VIRGINIA MOTTE' and bears the date October 25, 1860. All interested persons should contact Wayne A. Bullard, Attorney, at (919)763-4565 or send inquiries to P.O. Box 2178, Wilmington, NC 28402 * * * * * * At the time this article appeared, I called the attorney and the only additional information he had was a date of birth on the marker, 11-2-1859. He also said title searches go back only 60 years as far as any help that would be in locating who had owned the property in 1860. I think the grave has been maintained in a small park on the site. I wonder if anyone could help identify this person. I am researching Mott/Motte, but do not know if this would fit in my line or not. Thanks,
