Comment by Cynthia L. Fregoe on July 17, 2009 at 8:54am: Looking for any info on F. Charles BROCK born 1790 in VA or NC and his wife Elizabeth born 1805 in NC.

Comment by Cynthia L. Fregoe on July 17, 2009 at 8:52am: Looking for any info on Benjamin PARKER died 1847 and wife Sally. They lived in Currituck Co. They had at least one child named Letitia who married Waitman FORBES born before August 1813 when he was named as an orphan in court records of Waitman FORBES. Does anyone know these folks?

Comment by Cynthia L. Fregoe on July 17, 2009 at 8:44am: Looking for any info on James GREEN who died in 1812 in Currituck Co,NC. His wife was Lurana DOUGH (dau of Richard DOUGH and Mary) Their children were Ruth married Norris WALKER and Elijah WICKER,Jasper,and Polly married George MIRES. Also looking for the origins of Richard DOUGH who is said to be the son of Diana ETHERIDGE DOE. Who was her husband? I believe this group was on Roanoke Island. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Comment by Fredric Z. "Rick" Saunders on July 17, 2009 at 8:41am: Hi Cynthia,

Do you know if they were Quakers? I know there were a lot of Quakers in the northeast area of NC. My own BEALS line is descended from John BEALS and wife Mary CLAYTON (Quakers) in the 1600s in PA and went from PA to VA, and then their descendants to the Guilford Co, NC area, which also had a high Quaker concentration.

Comment by Cynthia L. Fregoe on July 17, 2009 at 8:34am: I am looking to break through some brick walls. My ancestor Morris BEALS was born in 1810 in NC and I believe his father was Asa BEALS. They live near each other in the 1830 or 1840 (from memory :-})Census of Tyrell Co,NC. Morris' wife Julia DEVAUL may be the daughter of Samuel DEVAUL and Elizabeth TWIDDY married 11 August 1809 in Tyrell Co,NC. Eventually Morris and Julia moved to Currituck Co (an area now considered part of Dare Co). Samuel DEVAUL was the son of John DEVAUL. I would love to find out where Asa BEALS and John DEVAUL were from and more about their ancestors. Any info on these folks would be greatly appreciated.

Hubby's NC lines are Braly and Carruth.
