a#CAVENAUGHCAVENAUGHm#WOODWOOD posted by Lynn Taylor on Wednesday, July 1, 1998

I would like to update you on my findings so far. I've found some information on my grandfathers family. His dad was Alonza Lee CAVENAUGH, He and my grandfather Ralph Shackelford CAVENAUGH were married to sisters in 1925. My Great grandfather married Bessie WOOD and My Grandfather married Bonnie Adell WOOD. I've located some of Bessie's family but not Adell's. It seems that their parents died (Adell's and Bessie's) and they were raised by different families. Bessie's children said they remember their mother saying she thinks a family in Sneads Ferry raised Adell. This is where I am at this point. Thanks for your help, its a wonderful thing you are doing.

As you can see I trying a broad pattern to my shot gun. I am looking for the family of James H. BURNETT b. 31 Jan 1814 in Ga. and died 28 Jan 1897 in Live Oak, Suwannee, Fl. He married Margaret Louise WILSON b. 24 may 1819 in Effigham county Ga to Jeremiah WILSON and Elizabeth LUCAS. she died 06 Jun 1895 in Live Oak, Suwannee, FL. James H. BURNETT lived in Brooks county GA when it was cut from Thomas county. He served on the survey crew to establish the county boundaries and as auctioneer for lots in Quitman. I believe he grew up in Irwin county GA and his family was one of the group that migrated from Onslow county NC. As an adult he lived near the family of Daniel and Hannah GRONTO BURNETT who moved to Ga from Onlsow NC. James H. witnessed deeds of the children of Daniel and Hannah and moved with two of their children to Madison county FL in 1840 before returning in 1848 to Thomas county GA. Does anyone tie into this family? Please e-mail me.

a#CLOUGHCLOUGH posted by Virginia Clough Haire on Saturday, August 1, 1998

Any information on William CLOUGH listed on the 1790 census of Onslow County, NC., prob married before 1800. My ancestor William CLOUGH, b. abt. 1765, d. abt. 1820 was first in Tyrrell County in 180l. We have no previous records and are hoping he is the same as the 1790 Onslow census entry. He may have been a surveyor, farmer, or seaman. Appreciate any help.

a#EDENSEDENSa#GARNERGARNERa#HALLSHALLSm#MEADOWSMEADOWSm#PINNERPINNERm#SMITHSMITH posted by Velma Davis on Saturday, August 1, 1998

I have been searching for information on my grandfather William Anderson GARNER for as long as I can remember. He was in FL. by the 1910 census. He was borne in NC. All the information I have been able to find ties him to Onslow. I found a marriage certificate for a W. A. GARNER and Amanda EDENS in Onslow in 1906. It says his father was a Daniel PINNER and mother was Mary. I know his mothers name was Mary. Don't know what happen to his father. Also the census of FL. said she had six children and only one living which was William. I did find a Mary Garner married a Daniel Pinner. Also the only other Daniel Pinner I found was married to a Sarah and had been for several years in the census. I think there is a connection with the SMITH familles, because I think Mary was a Smith. Also some of the other children married MEADOWS and HALLS. I would like to be able to prove this line very much. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Velma Davis.

a#FOSTERFOSTER posted by Paula Turner on Saturday, August 15, 1998

I am looking for any information available on Elison FOSTER b 1813. Have reason to believe that William FOSTER who appears on the 1790 census in Onslow County might be his father. Elison left the state before 1830 because he appears on the 1830 census in Missouri and he was married in Cape Girardeau MO in 1835. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

m#MATTHEWSMATTHEWS posted by John Worth on Saturday, August 15, 1998

Looking for information about: John MATTHEWS, Rev. Soldier (Corporal, 1776-1780); died intestate in Wilmington District before 1783 leaving bounty land, etc. to heir Luke Matthews (maybe identical with my ancestor Luke MATTHEWS of Martin Co., NC). I'm searching for any estate records regarding the John MATTHEWS estate, and I found deed records in Onslow Co. showing a John MATTHEWS there in the late 1770s, so I suspect he may have lived and died in Onslow. Seeking any proof regarding where the administrator/heir of estate lived (i.e. Luke). Thanks so much for any direction or guidance you might be able to help out with, and thanks in advance for your time. Sincerely,

ETHERIDGE. Has anybody ever seen reference to a place called "Etheridgeville" in Onslow County? I have copies of a number of letters, from the 1850's, written by members of an Onslow County ETHERIDGE family who were originally from Currituck Co. The letters are dated from Etheridgeville, N.C. Was this a real place or was it just their own way of saying "home"?
