Am inquiring into the Joseph Franklin MEACHAM line.  He is my Great Grandfather, and, I understand, 
used to be the Chief of Police of Rockingham at one time.  Born 2/14/1868.  Died 1/23/1931.  Was 
supposed to be married to an Ida, but I find this information puzzling...perhaps he married twice, 
or 3 times. Buried in Eastside Cemetery in Rockingham.  Father of Ruby, Mae Ellen, and Charles MEACHAM, 
but there could be more.  Mae Ellen is my grandmother, born in 1895, died 1972.  Buried in Richfield 
Memorial Park. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Deborah Cote Deitz

John UNDERWOOD, a mulatto, was born in Richmond County, NC, on November 18, 1804.  He was a plowboy in 
1812 and later married Louisa Kennihorn on December 1826, in NC.  He moved to Linton Township, Vigo 
County, Pimento, IN, April 30, 1841.  He purchased and farmed 100+ acres of land in Pimento, IN.  
He returned to NC for a visit between 1865-68 and brought his elderly mother back to IN.  I have 
been trying to find the names of both of John's parents.  John's mother is not listed on the IN 
census; therefore, I am uncertain when she died.  She is not listed in the Underwood Cemetery 
records, and no other record of her exists here in IN. John is my great-great grandfather.  Any 
assistance you can give me will be deeply appreciated.  Wynona Batton

Loftin H. HERRING and Minnie Mae HINSON were both living in Rockingham in the 1920's. Minnie

Both have passed away now. Any info greatly appreciated. Wanda Porter

I am interested in determining who my gg grandmother's parents were.  Margaret Catherine HASTY 
was married to William R. LOVIN in Richmond County in 1850.  I think her father was Thomas 
HASTY but am not sure.  I saw that Thomas and Nancy HASTY were divorced in 1849. Can I get 
a copy of that divorce action to see if the children are mentioned? Clifford Lovin

I need help finding where Samuel GIBSON b-abt 1819 and died abt 1893 Richmond Co. NC. and his wife 
Sarah WATSON GIBSON b-abt 1824 and died abt 1897 Richmond Co. NC. are buried. I have been looking 
for them along time with no luck and I feel sure they are somewhere between Rockingham, NC. and Ellerbe, 
NC. They are not listed in the Richmond Co. Cem Transcription project, so they are maybe in some field 
or pasture somewhere. Samuel enlisted 19 Mar 1862 at the age of 43 into Company E. 52nd. Regt. NC Troops. 
( The Richmond Regulators ) Mustered in on 28 Apr 1862 in the Civil War. I would like to put a marker on

I'm looking for information about a Henrietta A. WEBB, b. Jan. 9, 1806 in Richmond County,  
NC, and d. Feb. 1, 1863 in Hardeman County, TN.  She married a Welcome USSERY, b. July 15, 1807 
in Montgomery County, NC, and d. April 22, 1859 in Hardeman Co., TN.  The family was in Tennessee 
before 1840.

I've found much on the USSERYs, but am desperately trying to find info on Henrietta WEBB.  I've 
had no luck at all.  Surely there were other WEBBs in the area at this time.  I have reason to 
believe she was a full-blooded Indian, too.  Can anyone confirm this? Would appreciate any info 
at all. Please e-mail me direct at Brad Campbell York, Alabama. Thank you!

each other.

I am searching for the family of John Henry WALSH of Richmond County, Wolf Pit TS, NC. He was 
b. 9 Jan 1836 in SC and d. 27 Jul 1907 in Rockingham, NC. On the 1900 census, he is listed as 
County Supervisor of Ed. He does not have an estate listed in your book nor is there indication 
that he owned land on the 1900 census, it is blank. He and his family may have lived in the Wolf

I am looking for any information on the family of Moses KNIGHT (1763-1836).  He lived in Wolfpit 
District from at least 1800 until his death.   I have his military pension records, which names his 
surviving children, but have had trouble tracing some of them.
 
I am descended through his daughter Elizabeth, who married Caleb Curtis, and moved to GA.  Elizabeth's 
daughter, Frances married David Britt KNIGHT.  I believe David, also known as Britt KNIGHT was related, 
probably a cousin.  Who was his father?
 
I know this family was close to the BRITT family, and the name Britt is still carried in our family, 
but have never found a marriage connection.Brenda Knight Smith

Seeking information on William H. MURPHY who was listed in the 1870 Census for Stewartsville District 
as a grocer. At the time, he was age 30 and married to Harriet, age 26. He had two children, Hallie and 
Archibald. He is listed many times as a Justice of the Peace in ESTATE RECORDS OF RICHMOND COUNTY, NC 
by Myrtle Bridges. He also inherited property from the estate of Catherine McCORMICK when her brother,
