the Right Rev. Henry COMPTON, Lord Bishop of London, was appointed or
presented to the two parishes of North and South Sassafras by Thomas

I always thought that Peggy was the nickname for Margaret, but my Irish
grandfather called my Aunt Nellie "Peggy", so apparently it's a universal

Check this out very carefully before you assume that ocean-going ships came to
Elizabeth City.
It lies inside the Outer Banks and it was very difficult to maneuver through
the few navigable openings. A few may have come in, but I don't think very
many would risk it. [I may be wrong about this, and if I am, I'm sure a

us. I have a little more info. if this info. sounds even close to your
research please let me know and we will compare notes.
Thanks,

I am desperately trying to get any information of a marriage, or what ever,
of a Michael King Byrd nothing known about his marriage or who his wife
would be. He was born in 1756 and probably married 1775 or later.
Hezekiah Byrd, b 1787 /90, married Mariah Monk, b. abt 1795, and probably
were married abt 1815, we have papers that he was in the South Carolina
Militia in 1812 & 1813, but no other information of him in South Carolina.
It is suspected that he was just in the SC Militia and probably from North

Try to find a copy of the these books North Carolina Land Grants in Tennessee 1778-1791 by Goldene F Burgner: Tennessee Land Grants by Sistler (there are two volumes of this book) You may be able to find your Martin in one of them if he received land in TN.
I do not have these books, but you can probably get them on interlibrary loan.

Search for colonial life in north carolina resulted in many very
interesting sites. As it was, Colonial life in western NC was not like
colonial life in eastern NC or the other middle colonies, but quite a bit
more rustic (Daniel Boone et al). You should find a bibliography at some of
these sites.
Have fun(you will need to cut and paste these long urls):

I've taken the summer to read a book I bought about 4 years ago for +ACQ-1.00 at
Big Lots. I would like to share this since the folks researching the Toe
River Valley area may find it useful. Its a beautifully written book
published first in 1935 and again in 1991. It has great photos and lots of
genealogy and history about the people in that area. One thing has stayed
with me that I WILL research until I find an answer. Muriel Earley Sheppard
