a#HENDERSONHENDERSONm#SOLOMONSOLOMON posted by Bruce Henderson on Thursday, December 2, 1999

There was a court case in Onslow county, as: "Law Case Onslow County Jan. 1823 John SOLOMON vs. Hezekiah WILLIAMS John Soloman came from out of State on behalf of himself and others and found out that his father, Jonas Solomon, had long before his death changed his name to Thomas Henderson, and by that name had married or pretended to have married a second wife, while his first wife was still living. Children were born from the second illegal arriage and called themselves heirs of Thomas Henderson." Does anyone have any information on the names of these "heirs" of Thomas Henderson, who probably died about 1820 - 1822? Thanks, Bruce Henderson, Alexandria VA

Hello

I am looking for the descendents of James Whaley, Jr. of Onslow Co. He had an Estate without a Will in 1794. He had 8 children, wife unknown. He had property in Duplin and Onslow. His executors sold 200 acres in Duplin 1794.

1. James Whaley, Jr. +Unknown

2. Mahala Whaley b. Nov. 1, 1783 in Onslow County, NC.
+John Lancaster of England
2. Sarah Whaley b. Abt. 1794
2. Richard Whaley
2. John Whaley
2. Dolly Whaley
2. Nancy Whaley
2. Thursey Whaley
2. Milly Whaley

All of the children were under the age of 21 in 1794 and they were appointed guardians named Lemuel Williams and Jonathan Wilder. The names of the Executors of his Estate were Samuel Whaley, Lemuel Williams and Jonathan Wilder. Lemuel Williams and Jonathan Wilder are the Executors to the Estate in Duplin County of 200 acres. There is a James Whaley on the Duplin 1790 Census. I am thinking that they are the same person. There was a James Whaley of Onslow Co. who sold 200 acres of land in Duplin to Joseph Thigpen of Glasgow in 1793. I am thinking that he is the father of James Whaley, Jr. of Onslow Co.

If you have any connection to this family whether you are a Whaley or married to a Whaley from this family, I would like to hear from you and am willing to share info with you. Thanks in advance. Keith Whaley of Duplin County.

m#RIGGSRIGGSm#SAUNDERSSAUNDERS posted by Jan on Sunday, January 2, 2000

My name's Jan. I'm trying to trace my Grandma Ora Etta RIGGS, born and raised in Onslow County (or so I've been told). Her father's name was John B. (Benjamin?) RIGGS and I believe her mother was Henrietta (nee Willis maybe). Ora Etta married her teacher, Edward SAUNDERS when she was 22. Grandma was born August 25, 1868 so the marriage was probably about 1890. Sure wish I could find evidence of this marriage as well as information about her dad and mother. Family legend says that her dad's farm was incorporated into Camp jejune but I haven't been able to find any evidence of that either.
