John,
I've already checked the Bladen deed books and all the early grant and headright books that you didn't list originally.

>From # 10
CONNER, Edward, Brunswick County, 1784
(no Thomas)

>From # 121
Conner, Edward, Cumberland County, 1755

There is nothing in any of the passport books, Virginia books, or Duplin books (this one will be important to you in a second)

>From # 175
CONNER, Edward, born c1757 in Duplin County, North Carolina, died in South Carolina, married (once) c1807 in Brunswick County, North Carolina (formed in 1764 from New Hanover and Bladen) to Sarah Grissit. Ancestor File # 60265 (separate index shows that Mrs. Kathy R. Conner is the submitter of this ancestor file) (third publication indicates Mrs. Conner's address is 608 S Howard Circle, Tarboro, North Carolina 27886.)

Hi Dee,

I was wondering if you could check for Thomas and Edward Conner in the following:

4, 10, 36, 37, 38

I'm trying to backtrack. They were either from New Hanover or Bladen. Just hard to determine what area until I get copies of deeds, etc.

Many thanks for all your help!

John

Dear Dee,

I am interested in any references to Edward and/or Thomas Conner in the following volumes. Edward d. 1760 in Cumberland Co., NC and Thomas in 1783 in Anson County.

12, 13, 18 19, 29, 20, 99, 57, 58, 59

I do hope that I've not asked too much of you. I so appreciate any help you can give me.

Many, many thanks!
