Hi folks,
While 90% of those subscribed to CATAWBA-WEST live in excess of 100 miles
from Catawba County, there are about 50 or so that live closer than 50
miles. Since I am giving a talk on Internet genealogy, I thought it would
be interesting to see how many non-members of the CCGS would attend if the
only notice of the meeting they received was from the mail list. This post
may explain my motives to those who have written wondering why the
announcement was made to folks across the country. Several folks
I have learned a very important lesson. I referred to a page in
"German Speaking People West of the Catawba". I made an error when I
did not give the page number as 111. This page deals with Adam
Cloninger's family and shows that Adams Oldest Daughter married John
Seitz.
I gave no thought that someone might refer to the information on
the SEITZ FAMILY on page 379.
I find the information about the Deitz family very interesting
in that the land for this family of George is in the general area w

For purposes of clarification, the George Seitz who married Susannah Peterson
IS the same individual as George Adam Seitz. This George Adam Seitz was the
son of Johann Adam Seitz, more commonly referred to in records as Adam Sides.

William,
A couple suggestions and Guesses.
Originally the Warlicks settled the area north west of the town
of Lincolnton. This was the Daniels Church area and also the Reepsville
area. The Warlicks had large land holdings in this vicinity.
When using the census records you can usually find an attached
map showing where the areas are located. I have had cause to work
extensively with census records.
Let me know if can be of further assistance.

I have been trying to locate the graves of ALFRED MARTIN and CATHARINE
BUMGARNER, as well as ALEXANDER BUMGARNER and EMMA ANDREWS without success.
However, I believe I know where they are buried.
As far as I can determine they lived their entire lives in the area just
east of Maiden. A DANIEL CAMPBELL signed the marriage bond with ALFRED, so
the Martins and Campbells knew each other. The Bumgarners and the Martins
knew each other too since they lived in this same area (1850 Census).
