Chwe’n Linda,
Eh-heh(yes) I post there also,I am one of the moderators. It does look like we are kin. I was just tracing my Shepherd lines,and have gotten back to 1818 in Louisa Co. Va. Do you have Shepherds? My Shepherd(ggrandfather) married Sarah Brown from Isle of Wight/Southampton Counties Va. We need to get together,do you ever come to NC?

Mike,
The Grays were from Newsums in Southampton. They come into my lines in the early 1700’s. The Webb’s come into my lines in the late 1800’s in Edgecombe County. The Webb’s married into several of my lines in fact. By the way my Gray cousin has Barnes in his lines too! And I was in NC last month but it was not a happy time it was a death in my family, my uncle. 🙁 The father of my cousins whose mother is a Wynn. I have thought about coming home this summer, maybe.

Chwe’n Linda,
I live outside of Pembroke NC on Iroquois Territory – land set aside by one of the Tuscarora Bands here,all dirt roads,nice,peaceful. Maybe we can get together if you come up.

Nope no Shepherds here well not yet. I am still interested in knowing when the Tuscarora entered the Wynn family and the Barnes. I know the Wynns were in NC in the 1600’s. With all of this and knowing what I was told when I was a child I am sure I am Nottoway and Tuscarora. MY grandfather was a very bitter man, Mike. He acted as though he had lost so much and had such a deep sorrow in him you could see it in his eyes. He had such pride it was unbelievable at times. I am beginning to understand him more now. He drank I guess to wash that sorrow away. I wish he was still living so I could talk to him again and learn more from him but when I was younger he seemed so mean I ran from him . My grandmother was the complete opposite…….

Mike,
About the Woodards I have Delanah Woodard marrying Issac Amason in Edgecombe County her father was Elisha Woodard Sr. of Isle Of Wight, Va. He was born in 1734. Could this be your Woodards also?
We also have a real puzzle in my grandmothers line. We have aRebecca born around 1808 with no other information on her just a dead end. She married Thomas Etheridge and serious family history of native lines comes from this marriage. From Thomas’s family history it appears he was native too. I also have Robbins in this branch of my tree. My Moores married Sessoms, Robbins, Etheridges and all of these families are said to have native bloodlines. I know my Etheridges (several of them) headed south some stopped in Robeson County others went on into Alabama and texas. When they got to Alabama they started marrying intot he Creeks down here. My greatgrandmother Nancy Moore married a white man named Andrew Pridgen. My grandmother then married a Rogers. Their daughters have maried Bakers, Lynchs, Williams, Wooten, Tant, Brown and Davenport. I am a Davenport. MY father was Completely English and totally white what can I say..can’t deny it.no way no how. Other than my Tant uncle the others are mixed blood men. My uncle who was a Lynch was from Halifax County (Saponi). The only ones I know sure were white in my lines are Andrew Pridgen and my father. The others were definitely not or either their lines are so suspect it is hard to say. BTW do you have any Taylors? Guess I need tor esearch my Taylor line some more. Mike when they came to the Edgecombe area they clustered together. I started seeing many folks heading south in my families in 1700 and 1800’s. In fact most did but we stayed who knows why. Have you ever heard of any Ruffins? Did I tell you the Dunns are family friends…I’m surprised we didn’t marry into them too LOL
By the way the Daniel family were witnessing deeds with my Woodards too. So it’s apparent they all knew each other! I have found people who had one of the same bloodlines as me never have I found someone with three( for me Mike this is way cool) Hey my Webb cousin said he asked you about groups or something? Never know what that boy is doing LOL he’s 28 and gun-ho.
Linda
Chwe’n Linda,
I have a Elisha Woodard in my line from Isle of Wight Co. VA.
I also believe that I have seen Taylor before,I’ll have to check again.

Mike,
Will now that is probably 4 Wynn, Sessoms, Barnes, Woodard. Two of them are from my grandmother and 2 from my grandfather and well ALL of them are my mother! I told my sister about Delanah Woodard and she goes well that’s what all the stories about her come from. For some reason Delanah has been a topic of discussion among our Amason line. Hey do you think you can help me figure out my Rogers? As i said before my great grandparents were Alexander Rogers and Sue Amason. They probably connect to your Rogers too.
Linda
Do you know anything of a Fiveash Barnes? This is a sibling to my Patience Barnes….The name caught my eye.
Chwe’n Linda,
I don’t know of any Bryant,Braswell,Dew,Pope and Powell surnames in my family. Fiveash is a surname that at one time was among the Robeson County Tuscarora, Demsey Fiveash,he and others migrated from the Northeastern NC area. Fiveash Barnes could be in my Barnes line. His mother was Patience Barnes? Who was his father? I will have to check this out.
