ROLLINS
russanddot@cooke.net,
Russell Rollins, 7 Jul 1998
Elias Rollins was born in NC, possibly in Randolph Co. His Wife was
Delila ( I think Barcroft) who was born in TN in 1816. They had a son
born in 1836 and a daughter born in 1838 both in TN, Elias was born
in 1813. They came to TX in 1839. A family that came with them was
Daniel Barcroft and a single person Thomas Roberson. It is just a
guess but one of them was probably Delila's Brother. Looking forward
to hearing from you. Russell

Is there a book available on Moore Family of Randolph Co. NC or a
local person that knows most of the family connections that live in
Randolph Co.? I have a connection between the Whitmel family and the
Moores. I have a great aunt that married in the Moore family and
cannot find. I have listed several of the families that I have found
that had family names listed in the on-line data from Family Tree
maker. I have several generations missing and thought I would work
from current back. I have several listings of Moores in Randolph Co.
Most of the data on-line says private and does not list parents and
dates, so it's hard to trace back. A few of the listings I have:
James H Moore - granndparents, parents and children
Jim & Patsy Moore - grandparents, parents, parents and
children
Harvey Moore - grandparents, parents and children

I would be most grateful for any help you might give me in finding a
connection to my great-grandfather Charles Branson Grimes, Sr. I
recently found a note my grandmother had written some years ago in a
notebook:
1892 Clyde Grimes
William Grimes married Nov.14 1886
married Nov. 14 1896 Rosa
I do not know what connection this is, but I suspect that they might
be cousins of C. B. Sr. as the dates are somewhere near the date of
his marriage to my great-grandmother, Sarah Mariah Reese. They were
married in Hillsboro or Ramseur. I would really appreciate any help.
I would like to know of any connections, especially his parents.

Looking for the mother of Roxanne Emeline Scott, daughter of William
Brantley Scott. Roxanne married James Ruffin Latham and had twelve
children. William Brantley is the son of Brantley Scott and Elizabeth
Brady. William Brantley married a Polly Voncannon and had several
children. I have been told that he married a Martha J. King also but
the dates I have found so far would have her be eleven years old at
Roxanne's birth. This can't be right. Roxanne was born 12/23/1862 and
died 12/3/1935. She is listed in the 1970 census for Randolph County

COX
fred.cox@erols.com,
Fred Cox, 26 Apr 1998
I am researching the Caleb Cox family. Caleb married Nancy Seals in
Rowan Co., NC 28 May 1787 and was found on the 1790 census of
Randolph. He remained in Randolph Co. until about 1819 when he
removed to Bibb Co., AL. He appears to have not been related to the
quaker Coxes of Randolph Co. but was perhaps a brother of Richard Cox
who appeared and disappeared about the same time as Caleb. Caleb was
found on a 1785 petition asking that the Randolph County county seat
me moved to a more central location so perhaps Nancy was from Rowan
County. Any information appreciated.

What is known of the parents of William and Thomas
Kearns/Kerns/Keerans? When did this family come to America and from
where did they come? The earliest date I have is for William Kearns
and it is from a huge tombstone in Denton NC (a notation reads "Siloh

Willim's wife was Mary King.
I know nothing regarding place of birth for either and nothing re
their parents. This tombstone includes reference to a large number of
chilldren/spouses as well as reference to the father aand grandfather
of one John Kearns and a family named Ivey.

I have had a difficult time finding any Addison family members in
Randolph County. A Madison and Hancock Co., Indiana, history book
states that a forefather of mine, JOHN ADDISON, was born in Preble
Co., Ohio, on 20 Jan. 1820. He is the son of JOHN and SARAH ADDISON,
formerly of Randolph County, N.C. Since their son was born after they
left Randolph I expect that they lived their younger lives, possibly
since birth, in Randolph County. I have no birth dates or any info
except that they were from there. If you have any info on the ADDISON
family or any ideas please forward them to me. I would appreciate any
assistance. Kindly, John Lang, Ohio lang.83@osu.edu

William Bailey, Elijah Bailey (my ancestor), Ezekiel Bailey, Jesse F.
Bailey, John E. Bailey, Bethany Morgan. In 1832 the Baileys, Steeds,
Skeens, and Hearns moved to New Hope Georgia. There was a lot of

KIDD / POWERS
JPK2932@aol.com,
John P. Kidd, 27 Feb 1998
My gggg grandfather was MOSES KIDD. Starting in 1798, he owned
considerable property in both Chatham and Randolph counties, just
above the Moore County line. MOSES KIDD married CARY POWERS about
1795, in Chatham County. CARY POWERS was the daughter of JOHN and
SUSANNAH POWERS of Chatham County. JOHN POWERS also owned property in
Chatham and Randolph counties, starting as early as 1779. MOSES and
CARY KIDD moved to Moore County about 1834. MOSES KIDD died in Moore
County in 1843, and was buried in the KIDD-POWERS FAMILY CEMETERY in
Northern Moore County. Very little is known about MOSES KIDD before
he married CARY POWERS and bought a tract of land in 1798 in Chatham
County from his father-in-law, JOHN POWERS. I have often wondered if
MOSES KIDD or his parents had any connection to the many Quaker
families who moved to Chatham, Guilford and Randolph counties from
Pennsylvania between 1740 and 1775. Do you possibly have any
information on these early Quaker immigrants to Randolph County?
Names or residence locations within the County would be most helpful.
Maybe I could match something to my family. Many thanks. John P. Kidd

Am trying to learn about Williams line beginning with Gurney L.

Williams, Central Falls, Randolph County, NC. Gurney L. Williams was
born c1893. His father Adam Williams was involved in the founding of
the Methodist Church in Central Falls and may have been a merchant,
according to oral reports. I believe Adam married a Hall (Cammie?).
Gurney was a long time employee of the N.C. highway department - I
think he was planning retirement when he died. Beyond these oral
reports there seem to be no family records. DeVere Williams

Anna Cornellia ELLIOTT (mrd. John HOLBERT), John Welsh ELLIOTT,
Alexander Przyborowski ELLIOTT (never married), Fannie Susan ELLIOTT
(mrd. Thomas SEAGLE). Alexander had a tannery shop on Kingston Lake
in Conway, SC. He was a carpenter by trade, He built houses in
Conway, SC, some are still there. He moved to Hendersonville, NC,
where he died in 1894.
My Elliot line lived in Randolph County and Henderson County, NC, and
Conway SC, but I'm not sure where they were from originally.
If anyone has connections to this family, I would love to hear from
you. I am looking for information on anyone deseased or living. I am
in the process of compling a family history book and would like
family histories, photos, and stories (past and current) from living
relatives, no matter how distant kin.

I am looking for any information on Omah-Emma TUCKER (b. 1844),
married William TROGDEN, and lived in Randolph County. She may have
had Lumbee Indian roots. Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

I am looking for information on three Davenport brothers who lived in
Randolph County in the mid1700's. They were John, Thomas and
Augustine. I believe they were sons of William Davenport. John and
Thomas later moved to South Carolina. I am trying to find a list of
their children. Thank you...RoyWDav@aol.com
