My name is Rita Faye Hall (maiden name). I am the Great Great Great Grandaugher of 
Gregory (Greg) Hall born in 1803 (approx).

I am pretty sure his grandfather was William Hall 1741-1825 who founded the community 
of Hallsville in Duplin county. 

What I cannot seem to find his William Hall's son (Gregory's father).
Does anyone have that info? Please contact me. If I can find this I will have a 10 
Generation Tree including my own grandchildren !!!

Evans, b. 1819 in Duplin Co.

Have not been able to connect Hosea L. Evans with any Evans family in Duplin Co.

My family lived in Duplin County in the 1800s.  In 1869 my 2nd great-grandparents 
were arrested on charges of adultery and fornication in Duplin County and sent to 
jail in Wilmington.  Within a couple of days they were married. Their names were 
Warren Malpass and Rachel Taylor.  I can trace Warren back, but can not find Rachel 
anywhere before that arrest in 1869.  In 1879Warren and his brother killed a man 
named John Holland near the Duplin/Lenoir county line.  The Malpass brothers fled 
the area and changed their name to Hardison.  I find them in South Carolina using 
the name Hardison in the 1880 census.

I really want to find Rachel.

I am looking for the burial place of my ancestor, James Grimsley (1772-1834). He 
lived in the Blizzards Crossroads area of Duplin County.  I have visited all the 
known cemeteries in that area without success.  One of his daughters, Sary (Sarah) 
married a Brock.  Another daughter, Margaret, married Stephen F. Duncan on 27 Aug 
1833 in Duplin County.  
If you happen on any info that would help me in my search I would appreciate 
hearing from you.
