Merry Christmas!! Well from what I know Harriet’s parents were William Sharette? and Her mother was Charlotte Long. I have her death certificate all it says is that she is buried at a family cemetery in Little River Rougemont Orange County. It also lists her parents being from Orange County. I can’t find a William Sharette anywhere and also I can’t find Charlotte Long. I was told that the Long’s were also native. One of my relatives has a pic of her I hope to get down there to see it. The relative is a Parker and they live on Lowell road somewhere. Again thank you so much we have hit a brick wall with this portion of my family.

Dreaminghawk,

In southern Person co NC (part of Granville originally) there lives a cluster of mixedbloods. Daye, Bass, Hayes, Parrish, Epps. There is a high concentration within a 10 mile radius of the crossroads community of Moriah.

Being from there I’m sure you know this, but there was a large Indian quarry located 3 or 4 miles west of Moriah at Mt Tirzah. There’s alot of chipped rhyolite all over the big hill there (there used to be anyway). The Trading Path Association has led a few hikes there and talked about the srategic importance it had during the Revolution (you could see enemy troops coming from miles away from the top – I imagine the Indians used it for the same purpose). See http://www.tradingpath.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=52&Itemid=2 and http://www.tradingpath.org/content/view/96/ for a little information about it’s history during the Revolution and the quarry.

I have known of the paleoquarry all my life. I have known Tom Magnison since we collaborated on researching the Cameron mill and cemetery several years ago. I was on the recent first sunday hike to the quarry (september, I think) as Tom’s “expert” on the geology of the site and its importance to the local indian population for at least 13000 years (I personally think its more like 30000 years)

The rhyolite at this site is some of the best tool making material in the NC piedmont. It rivals Morrow Mountain in the south. I have collected cores and chips from the site and also knapped some of the material. This was undoubtedly one of the reasons that this area always has been and still is special for native americans and mixed bloods.

The Humphries listed above were siblings born to Lewis Humphries and George Anna Allen. My great grandpa was Allie, a great man that married Susan Winslow (Mayflower Winslows descent). They had 2 children Stanley and Mary (my Mom). I have quite a bit more on the Humphries, Allen their offspring if interested.
