When the courts decided the guardianship of an orphan child what happened when he was placed under an uncle or other relative? Did he become a 'ward' like in the movies of Old England and his guardian merely oversee his education and property until he became of age, or did the child actually live with his guardian? If he had a step-mother living would he likely stay in the house with her even though she had no legal rights over his property and would not the house be legally his if he were the eldest?

Some of us are working on the ownership of the land at Richard Caswell Park
in Kinston and need some information so this is not my own family.
Harper Williams was of Duplin Co and according to the 1850 Census had at
least 5 sons including one, Joseph, who went to Lenoir Co. One of the sons,
William H. had a Will in Duplin in 1889 (which I have not seen) that
mentions the children of his dec brother, Joseph, and two sisters, Mrs. H.
C. Faison and her son Dr. W. W. Faison and Mrs. M. E. Lee. I can't fin
I am also related to the Carltons and Carrolls! Would appreciate where I
could get the book "Carlton and Related Families" that you mentioned in your
inquiry. Public libraries if possible or the publisher's address? Any info
would certainly be welcomed. Thanks.........

Listmembers, I have been firmly corrected about previous email in which
I wrote that Sarah/Sally WEST married Peter LEE in Sampson County.
Regrets! Sarah/Sally WEST married George PETERS (or so I am told.)
This question remains: when and where did George PETERS die?
Thanks.

Jackie,
Yes, several of us would like to know where the land of this William
Carroll was located and if this William was related to the ten
CARRELL/CARROLL families present for the first census in 1790.
A William Carroll is the first Carroll I have any record of in
Duplin/Sampson, but apparently he was deceased before 1790.
Specifically I would like to know if this William Carroll could
possibly be the same one who got the Duplin land grant in 1753 on the
