My ancestors name is William Croker.. He was born around 1822 in NC and resided in Orange and later Randolph County in NC. He and his family are listed as mulatto until the Randolph Co census where they are listed as white. I am looking for any information on this family.
Thank you! *

It’s very, very rare for any descendant to have that smoking gun. With some of the other names you mention, there’s corroboration from other researchers, but no direct hit. That’s all most of us will ever find, and most of us will be happy with that. What you have is very special. I’m glad to see it belong to someone who will know what to do with it.
Linda, can you elaborate on the Love family connections? Searching the name Love on the forum is difficult as it brings up all posts with love as well.
The Parrish name has come up for me in DNA but not genealogy – and I suspect is the same name as Parris/Paris that Thunder Hawk mentions here.
I believe I may have some of the same MD/DE connections TechTeach and Linda mention. My names from MD in the 1700s are Passmore, Busel, Wheatley, Warden, Harvey, Howard, Sharples, and Bayley (married into Pontius)
Hannah Love is a big name. I just left a support ticket asking how we can use operators to narrow down a search. None that I’m familiar with seem to be working. Maybe there’s an add-on we can get.
So is it just Hannah Love that is traceable to a tribal Saponi family or are there other Love family members as well?
FYI I am able to use Boolean operators to search but it is not case-sensitive. So I can search ‘Hannah and love’ and get all threads with both words. But I can’t search ‘Love’ versus ‘love’. I’ll just have to filter through the results one by one.
I’ve got someone helping me on the support thread at vBulletin. Did I give you those logins? Feel free to jump in.
Marc,
To my knowledge, I do not have those surnames in MD. I do have Potter though. That line allegedly goes to a felon who chose emigration over incarceration in England. He fought in the Revolution by lying about his age. He marries a Horner. You will find his great-granddaughter’s imaga, my great-grandmother, here on the forum, Mary Lovina Potter. She looks native and is described as someone had hazel eyes and coal black hair that was never cut and worn in braids. Not in the picture I have though :). I have recently been in conversation with someone who is a neighbor and friend of a current Potter in Croton, OH, where they lived before moving to IA (Mary Lovina was born in Emeline, IA.). He looked at her picture and said, “Yes, she is a Potter.” He said that you could identify a Potter by their black hair and hazel eyes. He told me about and gave me information on a Potter killed during the Trail of Tears.
He has invited me, and I plan to do this sometime, to visit Croton, formerly Crowtown. He says the Potter home still stands. The basement has rifle holes built into the stone walls.
