I have a few more places I am curious about.

Anyone ever hear of Goosen or Gosen Swamp? I’ll get more details tonight. Thanks, Bob

I need to stand corrected, it is Goshen Swamp near Duplin Co. N.C.. This was owned by the Herring family with about 216 acres deeded to Thomas Parrish for the marriage to Elizabeth Herring.

There is a Bertie county formed in 1722, in North Carolina.

And I imagine that it is Isle of Wight in Virginia. Which still exists today.

It’s Isle of Wight County. Lots of people from there moved to Bertie County, including many of my ancestors.
