Greetings to all:

The history and the enthusiasm of the participants is reason enough to want to be a part of this forum. I would certainly love to provide information to others, however, at this point I only have questions.

This is a photo of my grandfather who was born in Warren, County, NC in 1890. <img border="0" src="http://www.saponitown.com/images/greenadcock.jpg" align="right" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="298" height="408">

On my father's side of the family are the following names and locations. They are:

LOCATION.... Warren County, NC
NAMES Adcock, Askew, Macon, Godson(Gibson?)

LOCATIONS.... North Hampton Co., NC
Greensville, & Southampton, VA
NAMES Garris, Turner

All I have to guide me is suspicion, Grandfather's photograph and the mystery of why his family insisted on claiming (on census, death certificates) that their father or mother was born in England. They were not. Does this sound familar to anyone?

Sounds very familiar. My gr-aunt Jane claimed she was born in Ireland. She was born in Allendale, Illinois. My mom said she was quite a sight sitting on her porch in braids, smoking a pipe. Guess she made up the story so she wouldn't have to give up the pipe.

I think I've got Cawauna's grandfather's picture up right. Somebody let me know if it's not showing.
