etblount@gmail.com(Liz Blount)We are wondering if the Louisa TAFT who married Miles BLOUNT 18 March 1866, and who was born 17 March 1846, could be the Louisa TAFF found in the 1850 Tyrrell Co. Census, dau. of George W. TAFF (b. abt 1819) and Affa M. ?, b. abt 1828. Our great grandmother Louisa Taft BLOUNT lived in St. George, SC. She has many, many great grandchildren, mainly in SC. Does anyone know more about the TAFF/TAFT family around those dates? This is the only Louisa from NC that I can find who might be our ancestor. Miles BLOUNT was from Lee's Mills/Plymouth. He served in the Confederate Army and Navy. I've been looking for Louisa for ages. Thanks for your help!
whitney.tine@gmail.com(Whitney Tine)Hello! I am Whitney Midgett Tine and my great-great grandfather was John I TAFT. I am not sure, however, that he was actually a TAFT. I have seen some census records that list a person (that I am 99% sure is him) as John ALEXANDER. John ALEXANDER lived in homes with George TAFT (as John ALEXANDER) in 1850(2), Henry ALEXANDER (as John ALEXANDER) in 1860(12), with Valentine SAWYER (as John TAFT) in 1870(22) and as John TAFT in 1880(32) when he was married to Missouri MANN. A few family trees on Ancestry show him as the child of Henry ALEXANDER and Nancy TRAVIS. My family tree has more than one ALEXANDER branch :) so I cannot rule out a father for him from my DNA test.

dtarkington@sbcglobal.net(Dale Tarkington)I have been trying for years to find information about where John and Prudence TARKINGTON came from in England. The information I have suggests that they came here with their three sons, William, John and Samuel in 1668 but I am trying to find information on where in England they are from.
clydethomasjr@gmail.com(Clyde Thomas)It appears that everyone takes for granted that they descend from 1650 John and Martha, however, 1620 John and Prudence had a son named William (1654.) Perhaps some of us are descended from him. Also, Ms. Tyler Wooley has a John (no one else acknowledges) born 1688 to John and Martha. For these reasons, I keep researching all TARKINTONS, TARKENTONS and TARKINGTONS. In the 1850 Tyrrell Co. Census, there is a Affie TARKINTON and children living with Jesse ARMSTRONG. Also, it appears Affie TARKINTON was the Affie ARMSTRONG who married William TARKINTON on June 1827. Does anyone have the parentage of William and Affie?

clydethomasjr@gmail.com (Clyde M. Thomas)Trying to locate Morgan John THOMAS' relatives and ancestors. Morgan married Fanny HOSKINS in Tyrrell Co. in 1834. In 1790 Census there is an Elizabeth THOMAS as head of family. In 1820 Census there are two (2) John THOMAS' as heads of families. In 1823 land belonging to John THOMAS was sold at Sheriff's Auction. In 1830 Census (Washington Co.) there is a John THOMAS as head of family. In 1880 Census there is a family (Mulattos) named Aaron THOMAS born 1822, Caroline THOMAS born 1825, Martha THOMAS born 1870 and Aaron THOMAS born 1872. I would assume that this family worked on a farm for someone named THOMAS and there would be some land records. I have all of the info. on the THOMAS family from 1840 and later. What I don't have is history earlier than 1834. Are these people related?
