My compliments to you for such a good, informative internet site. I found the census data by Fred M. Hintz particularly useful.
I hope you can help me further or direct me to someone who might. I am trying to track my ancestors, but have reached a roadblock that I am haveing a very hard time breaking through.
I am a descendant of John H. WATERS who, with his wife Sarah, farmed and raised a family of 11 in Pike County Alabama beginning in 1837. Mr. Waters' roots were in North Carolina. So were his wife's.
Some sources indicate Mr. WATERS was born somewhere in the state on February 5, 1814. His father, James WATERS, was born in NC in 1787.
I have reasons to believe that the James WATERS listed in the 1820 Onslow County census is the father of John H. WATERS. But I don't have any proof. I believe that the father of James WATERS is the John WATERS listed in the 1790 Duplin County census, but again I have no proof.
I believe the 1814 marriage occurred either in Duplin or Onslow County. His wife's maiden name was Sarah Jane STEPHENS.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
