Hi folks.
The net has been full of TN. this morning. Perhaps this is your answer.
First, Bertie was not an area of large Plantation grants. The average
was 250 to 350 acres. Of course, there were a few in the 1000 + class,
but not many. By the year 1800, these original grants had been divided
'til they were by the third generation, about ten or twelve acres to
each child. They could not survive on this small amount. By then, the
smart Rev. vets were taking advantage of the western "land Script"

Hi. Been reading about the pronunciation and "ou", etc. When you
pronounce Bertie - think of "Birdie" - except say "ber-tee". My
question to all is whether or not you ever hear the recording on the
radio called the "Bertie Chipmunks"? I am in the Norfolk area and it
used to play on the radio here all the time. It was very cute. Just
wondered if it was all over or just in this locality.

Hello to all on the list!
I have been going through the Bertie Co. web sight trying to find info on my
family. There is a lot of hush -hush about the family that came from NC.
They were JOHN and ANN STONE HINDSLEY. They came from NC and adventually
settled in Darke Co. Ohio. Part of the family have the old Hindsley family
bible and are refusing to let anyone read what has been recorded in it. We
have no idea why. But my Mom has some very old tin type photographs of who
we believe were the Hindsl
Hello
I have read where Joseph Oates bought and sold land in Bertie County are
there printed books I can purchase on land transaction in Bertie County.
These transaction would have taken place between 1719 to 1752. His last

that. If there is anyone doing research on these please contact me email me

Baltimore and Johnson's Milkl are two different places - over a mile
apart. Turn down Rhode's Lane beside the Heritage House and go through
the Harrell Farm to the old Rhodes place on the river. That's "Baltimore

goes. It is the first landing upon leaving Windsor going down river on
the left hand side.

Yes, and the "an" part of Chowan is often mispronounced by outsiders. It should
be "Cho" -not "Chow"- and "wan" with the "a " having the "ah" sound.
Speaking of language in isolated parts of the coast, Walt Wolfram and Natalie
Schilling- Estes wrote a very interesting book: Hoi Toide on the Outer Banks. It
can be obtained through The University of North Carolina Press.

Don't we all wish we had many letters of the type posted today in re: the
Belch and related families. I noticed "Grandfather Alex Vallentine." If the
one who posted doesn't already know, look for Alexander Vallintine
(Ballintine) in Bertie Co., NC, early. They came to Bertie from Norfolk Co.,
VA. I'm trying to find out more about George Ballintine who died in Bertie
leaving a will in 1723/4.

Elizabeth Cowand married a Bentley. They were living in Haywood County, Tenn., in
1844. Until now, I did not know the Bentley's first name. Elizabeth was the
daughter of William Cowand (Jr.), the granddaughter of William Cowand and Maybee
Cake, and the great granddaughter of John Cake and Mary Fleetwood. She was raised
in the Ross Church area of Bertie County. She had a brother, named Thomas, who
went to Cass County, IL, in 1835. She had several sisters: Ruth, who married

Hello All,
I'm enjoying the discussion concerning the migration from NC to TN.
My ancestor left NC in 1804 and settled in southwestern Kentucky by 1807
.....along with many others from Hertford/Bertie. Does anyone know the
reasons behind this migration pattern? Was Va selling land in Ky???
Also, Virginia, I tried to print a page off of the 1810 census....and it
came out in a strange diagonal pattern. Something I'm doing...or not doing??
Thanks, Kathy

Well, I will see if I can explain it. If you are a linguist, the vowel
is a front-rounded sound. The phonetics is almost: "ow" but not like
"cow" but more like "bow" or "boat". We use this sound in words like:
out, about, house, etc. And of course, the trunk of the vehicle is the
"boot" o
