a#EAGERTONEAGERTONm#SHACKELFORDSHACKELFORDm#WHITEWHITE posted by Jerri S. White on Tuesday, October 6, 1998

Seek ancestors & descendants of Silas WHITE, who lived in Onslow County after 1790. The WHITE family has been traditionally linked with the EAGERTON & SHACKELFORD families in Marion County, SC in the late 1700's and early 1800's. All of these families apparently lived in Onslow County prior to migrating to SC. Will be glad to exchange info. on these lines.

a#KELLUMKELLUMm#NORMANNORMAN posted by Patrick R. Nelson on Friday, October 9, 1998

I just received from a look-up volunteer information that strongly suggests that some of my ancestors spent time in Onslow Co. NC. I've not previously done research in NC (still rather new to genealogy), so I'm hoping that someone can help me.

The information I received was from the 1900 census:

1900 NC: Onslow Co, White Oak 49-84-4-84 WHITE KELLUM, Jack 30 NC (Jul 1870), Ella 28 NC (Jan 1872), Mamie 4 NC (Apr 1896), Effie 2 NC (Mar 1898), Willie L 2/12 NC (Apr 1900)

My gggrandfather was Jack KELLUM, who married LuElla NORMAN. They had 2 children that I am aware of, Nancy Edna Lorella Kellum (my grandmother), b. 1898 and Willy, b. ca. 1900. As far as I know, Ella's parents lived in White County, Arkansas. My grandmother said that she was born in Searcy, AR. However, I can't find them there around 1900 and the story goes that Jack and Willy were killed in a tornado in 1901, after which Ella and Nancy Edna returned to live with her parents in AR.

Is anyone aware of a tornado occuring in that area around 1901? If so, I'm hoping that there might be newspaper accounts listing casualties as well as obituaries. I know nothing about Jack Kellum's family, but now wonder if they might have been from that area. According to the census at least, they were in NC.

Any other help, assistance, advice, etc. would be highly appreciated.
