Hi,

 

I'm interested in the surname EXUM. There were some of them in Isle of Wight County, VA, then came down to NC. They were Quakers as far as I've been able to tell.

Thanks

Recently I have been researching my son-in-law's genealogy, and found several Exums in his ancestry.

The earliest was  William Exum II, Born 1663 Isle of Wight County, Virginia-died 17 October 1756 Nottaway Parish, Southampton County, Virginia

William married Patience Purcell  (01 June 1680 Surry County, Virginia -April 1775 Isle of Wight County, Virginia (daughter of Arthur and Sarah Purcell)

These other Exums were found

William Exum (1802-1880 Wayne County, NC) and his wife, Charlotte Jones (1808-1867 Wayne County, NC)

Their eight children were

Matthew

Henry

Louisa Vicey

Hamlet

Margaret Mariah

Muthey

Benjamin

and Julia

I am researching the surname Caudle. I believe my 4th great grandfather, Moses Caudle, 1765-1853, was indentured at the age of 5 to a George Wooten in Bute County. I have found a record. I'm wishing I could find out who his parents are. The Record says Mary, but I need the father's name. Of course any Caudle information is very welcome! 🙂 

 

Thank you!

Debbie Caudle

I'm interested in the surname Joyner, from Pitt County, N. C. Particularly, I'm looking for information about Sarah Lucy Joyner, one of three daughters of Dr. Noah Joyner and his wife Emily Adelaide Williams. Sarah Lucy Joyner was usually known as Lucy Joyner. She was born 1851 and died 1910 in Chocowinity, N. C. She was a teacher and never married. I found a reference that stated she was the author of numerous short novels, poems, and serialized stories that appeared in magazines. I've been unable to find anything that she wrote, however.  From about 1900-1908 she was principal of the parochial school at Zion Episcopal Church, Beaufort County.

Somehow I hadn't been seeing notifications about these, but I've just added surname forums for Rose (@buddy) and Exum (@bellosilvestre, @kella). 

There was already a surname forum for Joyner. 

Y'all feel free to post in those whatever you want about those surnames!

Where is your Brantley? Just to make sure, this forum is focused on families in eastern NC so if the surname is to be added to the forum, let me know what eastern NC counties you are searching Brantleys in.

I'm searching for Savidge or Savage.  Lived in Edgecombe county and Martin County from about 1750 to 1850 and possibly longer.
