Christine,

"Some say they are from New Bern, some say Craven Co., and than this
marriage in Duplin Co., NC."

I knew I had seen it somewhere!
I went back to a letter Dee Thompson wrote 3-22-2000 and found this statment
regarding whether the area that became Duplin County could have at one time
been called Craven:
"when I do a lookup for you, I backtrack through the formation history of
each county: i.e: a request for information on your Blanton in Duplin
would go back from Duplin to New Hanover, to Craven, to Archdale, to Bath,
to the territory south of the Albemarle River, and yet it could still be
the exact same land."

Thanks to Peggee Nelson and Dee Thompson for supplying the URL for the
marvelous site:

I think that has to be the world's fastest lesson in US History!

Another site for maps of the settlement of NC can be found at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~nccatawb/countyfm.htm

I needed the info about Duplin because I had seen a statement about the
Carroll family having come to Sampson County from Craven County in the
1730s. I searched Craven County, when indeed I believe they settled right
there in Sampson County in the 1730s!
