Hi! My name is Dawn and I am researching my husband's family tree. Your website has some great information...thank you! My husband is a decendent of Robert Bell/Ann Ferguson, then George BELL/Debra ?? and Hezekiah BELL/Martha BAGGETT. I am trying of course to find Ann FERGUSON's birth/death info and Debra's maiden name birth /death info. I do have all of her children from 2 other family tree websites. Do you have any suggestions on where to start? Also, I am trying to find information on Joseph WILLIAMS, Jr who married Perthena BELL daughter of George/Debra Bell. They married in Duplin Co and he apparently died about 1824-1825. There are several Joseph Williams in the 1790 census and I do not have an exact date (one resource stated birth 1796 but Perthena "Theny" was born in 1785 in Sampson Co). Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
