ARENDAL/ARENDELL/ARRENDELL
I am seeking information concerning the Arendel/Arendell/Arrendellfamily of North Carolina. Descendants of this family migrated from Franklin and Wake Counties, NC, to Carter and Johnson Counties, Tennessee between 1790 and 1800. I understand that there was an Arendell Family History published in Carteret County, NC. Is this publication still available. Where can I get a copy? Mike DeLoach

BALL
I am searching for any information on Daniel Ball (b. 1728 in Carteret CO). His parents were James and Catherine Ball- both of Fairfax Co, VA. James' father was John Ball, son of Richard Ball whom several sources point as being the son of Col. William Ball of Barkham, Berkshire. Thanks for any info. Randy Hall

BARRINGTON
Interested in tracing pre-Revolutionary Barringtons in NC.  In particular, an Isaac Barrington who enlisted in the Continental Line during Revolution in Carteret.  His daughter, but probably sister or cousin, married Isaac Edmondson and moved to Edgefield Dist., Sc, and finally to Georgia.  Thanks.  Charles S. Miller

BARRONTON, BARRINEAU
Could Isaac Barronton be the Isaac Barrineau I am looking for?  I have typed document that in 1746 Elizabeth Barrono (sp?) requested appraisers for her late husband Isaac's Estate.  In 1747 Court, John Isler exibited inventory of Isaac Barrono's Estate.  In Sep 1749, Mrs
Wilks is mentioned as administrator of the Estate.  In Feb 1753, Arthur Barrons (sp?), orphan, made choice of John Curruthers as his Guardian.  This indicates he was now 14 years old or older and his mother is now dead.  In Feb 1753, Isaac Barrineau, orphan, made choice of Lemuel Hatch as his Guardian.  This indicates that Isaac (Jr.) is now 14 years old or older and that his mother is now dead.  In May 1756, Author Barrins petetioned for his part of his father's Estate.  A hand written data note states data found on p.64, item 42 in Cateret County.  Also a handwritten note states that in Letters of Demization and Acts of
Naturalization for alien on England and Ireland, 1701-1800, that on June 24, 1703, a Benjamine and Mustavo Barroneau are listed.  I have data that supports that Isaac and Author Barrineau moved to Onslow County and then to Williamsburg County sometime betwee 1790 and 1800.  Could the Private Isaac Barronton really be Isaac Barrineau, Jr.?  Any help on the Barrineau Clan will be appreciated.  Barry Barrineau

BELL

father may have been a Daniel Bell.  His descendants continued to live in Carteret in Moorehead twp up to the 1920's.  Some moved into Craven County. PACKOUT@aol.com

BELL
Searching for ancestors of Francis C. Bell, apparently born in Onslow County
ca 1818, died ca 1858?     He may be a descendant of Eden Bell, born in Carteret County.  Eden Bell is of the line:
George Bell d. 1722 Carteret County

Eden Bell d. 1820
Archibald Bell d. 1840/1850 Onslow County

BELL
I am looking for any and all information I can gather about the family of Abner Bell. As far as I can tell, he was married to a Francis W., b. abt. 1811, loc unknown. Abner shows up on the 1830 NC census in Carteret County. In 1840, he and his family are in Lowndes County, MS, where they remain until showing up in Oktibbiheh County, MS in 1860. In 1870, he and his family are in Ellis County, Texas.  I strongly feel that Abner's parents and other family are from Carteret County. Up to now, I can't find definite proof. There are 3 Abner Bells on the 1830 census. Who are the other two? For that matter, which one is "my"
Abner Bell? I have examined a number of marriage records regarding Abner Bell and none of them look like "my" Abner Bell. Are there other Abner Bells involved? Here is Abner's family as I now know it:
Abner Bell m. Francis W. ??, date and loc unknown
children:
Cordelia G. , born abt 1830 in NC
Elizabeth M. D., born abt 1832 in NC
Cassan W., born abt 1834 in NC
Mary F., born abt 1836 in MS
Kettrell Shepard, born abt 1837 in MS
William R., born abt 1843 in MS
Abner S. Jr, born abt 1845 in MS
Cora W., born abt 1849 in MS
Preston Brooks, born abt 1853 in MS
As you can see, Abner and his family moved to MS sometime in the mid 1830's.  Does this family look familiar to you? Do you have any information (regardless of how trivial) that might point  me in the right direction?  With all the Bells in Carteret County, I'm almost sure that my Abner ties in somewhere. Thanks!  Walter Fuller

BENTHALL, JOHHN, REUBEN

BOGUE
I'm wondering if anyone in recent time has ever figured out how the name "Bogue" became associated with so many things in your county.  The earliest I have been able to find it was on John Lawson's map of 1704 or 1709 ( can't remember off the top of my head).  He usually names things for whoever lived nearby, and I never saw a record of a Bogue around Bogue Inlet (the first geographic location with the name) at that time.  The earliest Bogue I've found any record of was Thomas Bogue who was given land for his service in the Revolutionary War.  Kathie Bogue

BRYANT

       wife Gertrude Reinhardt (b. 1894/ Hickory, NC)
Amy Ferdinand

BUCK, YATES
I am interested in the Buck and Yates families of Carteret County, which is where I am from. I know that in the late 1800s a Maggie Yates married a William Buck. They moved to Peletier. There is a large, abandoned Buck family cemetary in the Croatan National Forest near present-day Peletier. Bucks were in that area since the Civil War because there are Buck gravestones dating to that era. By the way, Maggie Yates was not a Yates by birth; rumor has it she was some sort of servant girl who came by ship to Beaufort and was taken in by the Yates family. She was probably not Caucasian. Any information on her possible origin would be most welcome. Ann Meadows

CANADY/CANADAY/KANEDY/KENNEDY, etc
I am directly descended from an Edward Canady who lived and died in Carteret Co. NC  in the mid to late 1700's.  He lived near Little Deep Creek outside of Newport, and he died in 1799 or 1800.  He was my  4th great-grandfather.  I have much information about him and all of his descendants.  I can't determine who his father was, or whether he was related to Cornelius, Enoch, Thomas, Richard, Gideon, Elijah, and several other Canad(a)ys who all lived in Craven, Beaufort, and Carteret Co. during that time.   I also have a lot of info on Cornelius Canaday and his descendants.  It is certainly conceivable that Thomas, Edward, Cornelius, and/or some of the others were brothers.  So far, no one working on this, to my knowledge, has been able to get any of these Canadys back to the next earlier generation.  Speculation is that they came from "Virginia."  Finally, I have considerable info on a James Canady line, who was born in the Carteret/Duplin/Onslow/New Hanover County area of NC in 1808.  Maurice F. Canady, Jr.

CANADAY

GILLIKIN
I am trying to find information on my maternal great grandfather James Wilson Gillikin. He was born in 1859 in the area of Marshalburg or Straits.

Any information or ideas on where to begin would be helpful. Ruth Ann Geer-Lloyd

(NY was too crowded so they  settled in NC.)  Was Michael in Spain because he refused to fight against the Colonies?     Did he know the Post family possibly in Scotand?  David also rec'd a land grant in Shelby Co. because of his military service.  Several of his descendants still live on the land.  Many thanks!  Edna McGalliard

Looking for any information on Will/William Harris, his mother Margaret Harris, and his sister Matilda Harris Swindel. We found the in the 1870 cenus in New Bern. The brother and mother were living next door to Matilda and her husband Isaac Swindel. Isaac and Matilda are my great grandparents.He was listed as a mariner in 1870. They were living in Beaufort County in 1860, and he was then listed as a sailor.  We found a marriage in Beaufort County in 1881 where Matilda married a Jame Woolard. No record found after this marriage. She was listed as a widow.  Isaac may have been lost at sea sometime between 1870 and 1880. He was suppose to be the master of his own ship.  My questions are: 1. How can we find out for sure if he, Isaac, indeed died at sea.  2. are there any records of Matilda's father dying in Carteret County.  3. Did her mother and brother stay in Carteret County after Matilda returned to Beaufort County?  4.

MACE
I may have an ancestor who came into NC in either Halifax, Carteret or Beaufort County in the 1700's.  His name was John MACE.  How might I go about getting more Huguenot information with surnames?  I have checked Cyndi's List and its Links.  I found a listing of two ships that sailed from VA to NC in early 1700's and they carried Huguenots.  But
John Mace was not listed as passenger on either.  A written family history says that John Mace was a Huguenot.  He had at least one son, Jacob Mace, a wife, and perhaps other family members.  The family, all but Jacob, were killed in an Indian attack.  Jacob Mace was adopted by a family named Cunningham and they removed to Hardy Co., VA  - now WVa. Thank you for your thoughts on this query.  Susan Noel

MASTERS/LOCKHART
Seeking descendants of Charles W. Masters of Morehead City. Charles was born in NY State about 1868 to Henry and Charity Masters. At some point in time he moved to Morehead City, so that in 1915 when the rest of the family moved to NC, he was established there. I know that Charles had a daughter, Jenny I think, who married a Lockhart and had about 12 children of her own. Jenny was still living in the 1960's, but I never knew of her. There were probably more children than Jenny....possibly sons who carried on the Masters surname. I would like to hear from all descendants. Butch Butler, Mt.

PINER, WADE, SMITH, WHITTINGTON
I am looking for information on Whittington Piner b1813.  He married Rhoda(y) Wade in 1835,  Elizabeth Smith (bca1834) in 1849 and Phoebe (Fiby) Ann Smith (bca1831) in 1872.  In the 1880 census, he is listed with Fiby Ann Smith as wife and Alonzo (age 7, b1873) as grandson.  We have copies of the marriage bonds, so we know the women are correctly given as wives.  Alonzo , according to his marriage license of 1899, lists him as son of Whittington Piner and Fibie PIner.  His marriage was to Sabra Wade b1875.  So he was evidently a son rather than a grandson of Whittington.  Whittington's first wife, Rhoda(y) bca1822, was sister to Sabra Wade bca1811, and Drucilla Wade bca1809. They were married to brothers Josephus Piner, Jr. bca1804, and Elijah Piner bca1806, who were sons of Josephus Piner, Sr. bca1784.  I can find no leads on Whittington.  Is he possibly kin to Josephus, Jr.  and Elijah?  There was a James and a Thomas Piner in Carteret County in 1779 and a John Piner in 1884, all from the Newport River area.  In the census of 1790, in the Straits area, a Caleb Piner has two males over 16 and three females.  Any leads on Whittington would be appreciated.  A footnote to add to the confusion...on Alonzo's death certificate (1955), his parents are listed as Whitfield Piner and Phyllis Proctor.  The information was supplied by his daughter, Lyda Piner (deceased) of Morehead City.   Help!!!  Susie Piner

PINER
I am seeking information on any Piners in Carteret Co., NC. Records show a Nancy Piner born 1792 and a Sarah Piner born 1802. As I have been unsuccessfully seeking birth records and parentage for a Stephen Piner born 1800/01 supposedly in VA and these two women were born around the time of his birth, I thought there might be a connection. I would appreciate any information at all. Stephen has been elusive and apparently "untrackable" so far. Thank you.  Revae Leppanen

SINGELTARY, EASTON, GIBBS
John Singeltary was my thrice-great grandfather. He was a sea captain for at least part of the time he was in Carteret County. We know he was there during the Revolutionary War. We have record of his being in the militia. Also Jean Bruyerre Kell's book, Carteret County in the Revolution, mentions his being captured aboard a British vessel and ransomed by John Easton (1782 or 83). He married Alice Easton, John's daughter. After May,1792, when he mortgaged his property (Singletary/Ward house on Front Street) to Nathaniel Gibbs, he seems to have disappeared. Incidentally, Alice moved to Washington, NC, married Nathaniel Gibbs, and is buried in St. Peter's Churchyard there. We do not know where Capt. John Singeltary came to Beaufort from, nor do we know what happened to him after May, 1792. We also do not know for sure who Alice Easton's mother was, although we have found the name Esther in the record of a will. Any help will be appreciated. Marion Mitchell

WEEKS, O'STEEN
Phoebe O'Steen Weeks, born 1785 in Carteret Co. She was the illegitimate daughter of John O'Steenand his wife Ada (Weeks) O'Steen. She was taken and raised by Theophilus Weeks (founder of Swansboro) and his wife Ann (O'Steen) Weeks. Her grave marker lists her name as Phoebe O'Steen Weeks, which leads me to believe she was adopted by Theophilus and Ann Weeks. Is there anyone who knows if she was adopted, or is there someone in Carteret Co that could check records of adoption for me. I would assume that she was taken in by Theophilus and Ann in her infancy. I would greatly appreciate any help from anyone. Judy Roberts
