Could someone tell me where to find old grave yards where the WELLS, BONEY. and Teachey families are buried? I know these families go way back in Duplin Co. history. My fourth great-grandfather JESSE GEORGE married BARBARY TEACHEY, the daughter of DANIEL TECHEY and NANCY ANN WELLS. They later were in New Hanover Co. If anyone knows about these families, I would be happy to share with them. I have considerable information on my Georges.

I found a reference in my research that indicated a Joseph GRIFFIN was b. in Duplin Co. N.C. and also said that it was in Columbus. Not sure if this is a town or county. I think that he might be the brother of Levi GRIFFIN who's parents were William GRIFFIN and Nancy JONES.B. were b. in N.C. Levi m. Sarah BARRON in Pike Co.,Al. I would love to establish that my GRIFFIN was from here. I will be glad to share what little I have. Thanks Shirley

a#BLINKLEYBLINKLEYa#BLIZARDBLIZARDa#BLIZZARDBLIZZARDa#CARTERCARTERa#FOSTERFOSTERa#HOBSONHOBSON posted by Synthia Robinson-Pack on Friday, May 10, 2002

I am interested in finding information on the Blizzard (or Blizard families) from Duplin County. I believe that Charles I. Blizzard (married Sarah Foster b. 1845 appro.) is the child of Isaac Blizzard and Mary Jane Hobson (married 30 Dec 1818). I cannot find any birth information; however, I did find Charles in a census and it appears he was the son of Isaac. I have also seen a family line that shows that Isaac's parents were John Blizzard (son of Richard Blizard and Kezzekiah Carter) and Mary "TOlley" Blinkley but they did not document the family line any further so this is all the information that I have. Does anyone have any information on Charles Blizzard or his family? I would appreciate any help you could provide. Thank you.

a#ALDERMANALDERMANa#BARFIELDBARFIELDa#BORDEAUXBORDEAUXm#NEWTONNEWTON posted by Gail Moore on Tuesday, May 21, 2002

Searching for the location in Duplin Co. NC of Daniel Newton who was b. abt. 1811. Who was his Mother? Was she Eleanor Jane Bordeaux or was she Sarah Alderman? Did his Father James perhaps marry twice to both of these women? Why am I coming up with two mothers for this same man? OR were there two men, both same line, perhaps cousins perhaps both with a Father named James both born in 1811 but to different men and women? There has to be an answer out there somewhere. My line of Daniel Newton connects later on in Macon Co., GA with the marriage of Daniel's son, and his executor of his estate.........Daniel Jeptha Newton of the CSA......who met and married Rose Ann Barfield. Thanks for any help with this family. Gail
