        I am researching my mother's family which appears to have started in the late 1700's to early 1800's in Granville County, North Carolina as best we can determine. Her maiden name was Cawthon.

Who can I contact that may be willling to search the county records to see if there is any mention of a gentleman named Christopher C. Cawthon? His middle name may have been Christian.

        I am interested in John Miner (Minor) who supposedly was born in Granville County about 1760. He married Mary Kaleer who was born about 1765. They had several children including Joseph B. Miner who was born in Granville County in 1798. I believe John moved his family towards Kosciusko County, Indiana a little after 1800. I have found in the N.C. records that John had sworn allegiance to N.C. at Granville County on May 30, 1778. I do not know where John was from or who his parents were. He must not have been born there, as I was told, because he had to swear allegiance to N.C.

        My name is Letha Parrish, I am a decendant of Valentine Parrish b. 1760 d. 1840, and Betsy Parrish, daughter of David Parrish and Judith Holland.

        My name is Connie Sneed. I am doing research on the Sneed/Snead family tree. I am hoping you will have some information on my family. The following information is what I have. My ggrandfather was Lawson Sneed born around 1848. He married A Frances (Fannie) Green. They married in 1883 in Texas. Lawson had a older brother his name was Anderson Sneed Jr. He was born in 1826-1827 in GA. They were listed together on a Florida census when Lawson was 13. (1860 census) We also were told Anderson Sr. was born around 1780-1827. We are not sure where. Anderson Sneed Sr was said to have married a Hetta Sanders. We were also told they were related to a Robert Whitehurst Sneed. We have yet to make that connection. Was also told they originated from around North Carolina. The link could be through the Hawkins and Fogleman families. We know Anderson Sneed married Elizabeth Howard Aug 24 1843. They had 3 children. 1. Hetty 1845 2. Susan 1848 3. William 1849. We found later that an Anderson Sneed married a Harriet Kemp on Jan 20 1861. They had one son named Walter E. Sneed. Born around 1868 in Florida. Harriets parents were Elias and Mary Kemp. Any info would be appreciated. Thank You, Connie Sneed cfsneed@yahoo.com

        Can someone tell me what a document titled "Report of years support 1872" means? It was done the same time as an inventory for Joseph McDonald Satterwhite was done just after his death in Granville Co. The document lists his belongings but goes on to say that the commissioners are appointed to lay off her (the widow's) years of support. And it leaves a deficit of $187. What kind of document is this and why was it done. Minor children were left. Does it have to do with their number of years before attaining adulthood? Judie Satterwhite Balacke
