MCLAMB, STEWART posted by Amy Ausbun on Saturday, January 24, 1998

I am working on the MCLAMB'S. My great grandmother was Bessie Lavinia MCLAMB (b. 1889) of Newton Grove, NC. Her father was Sir William MCLAMB (b. 1862), and boy is he a hard one to find. Whenever I ask for record copies or whatever I have to say that his first name really was Sir. It's an amateur genealogist's nightmare:-). Anyway, I have been told that Sir Will's parents were Nathan MCLAMB and Betty Ann STEWART. I am having a terrible time of tracking this line down. Do you have any pointers? Anyone working on this same line? Any help is appreciated and I will share all the info. that I do have.

All I know of her childhood is that she possibly grew up in the White Oak area which would either be Sampson County or possibly Bladen or Cumberland depending on the dividing line for the county at that time. My grandmother Minnie Mae Edge WILLIAMS was born3/3/1907 and was married to John Dewitt WILLIAMS of Autryville, North Carolina. John DEWITT Williams was born 3/14/1894 and died 11/20/1975. He was the son of Rosa Leigh Lane Sessoms WILLIAMS born 9/25/1870 and Evander WILLIAMS born 12/5/1864 and died 5/16/1923.Also, if anyone out there knows anything of Rosa Leigh Lane SESSOMS Williams parents I would appreciate it. The information I have is that her fathers name was possibly Willie or William LANE and that he was possibly a Dr. who came to the United States from either Holland or Germany. One of the things I have been fortunated enough to inherit is the trunk he brought with him when he came to the United States I would really appreciate any information anyone could provide me with. Thank you very much.

GOFF, MATTHIS posted by Phyllis Borden on Saturday, January 24, 1998

Searching for information on the children of Rice MATTHIS (b. abt. 1745-d. 1797) and Civility GOFF. It is believed that their names were John, Edmund and James, however I have found no documented evidence to prove their link to these parents. The 1790 Census lists Rice as head of household with three sons and three daughters. Sampson County Court Records show that Civility filed for adminstration of estate after Rice's death in 1797, but no children where named. The NC State Archives, Sampson County and Duplin Counties have no records of the administration of estate, so apparently it did not survive time. Any help will be appreciated.

CURLEE, KEEN posted by Sam Price on Saturday, January 24, 1998

I am looking for any information you might provide concerning the ancestors of John KEEN or Elizabeth CURLEE. John KEEN was apparently a revolutionary soldier, his widow Elizabeth Curlee KEEN moved to Laurens County, Georgia in the early 1800's. She drew land in the Cherokee Land Lottery of 1838 as the widow of a revolutionary soldier. I understand that John Keen's will, written by him December 7, 1803 is on record in Sampson County. His family may have been from Wayne county for there are some references to Goldsboro in family records. John KEEN and Elizabeth CURLEE had five children: John Jr., William, Young, Nancy Jane and Mary (Polly).
