Subject: [NCROOTS-L] Carolina Cradle by Ramsey Look Up
Date: Mon, 1 Mar 1999 20:59:25 -0500


Hi all,

For the many of you that have sent me look up requests that aren't
familiar with the book: Carolina Cradle by Ramsey. It is mostly of the
settlement of the Northwest Carolina Frontier, 1747-1762. Lots of
info for Rowan County. Obviously most of the info from the book is
based on NC. There are many names that are of Quaker, Presbyterian,
Baptist and other denomination origin. Passenger lists from ships with
origins of sailing's, destinations, and dates are also listed.

There is a list of first settlers in the area between the Yadkin and
the Catawaba that includes names such as Carter, Bryan, Hughes, Davis,
Gamble, Dunn, Forbush, Linville, Gillespie, Holmes, Bell Cathey,
Graham, Kennedy, Brandon (my line), Lock/e (another of my lines),
Davidson, Templeton, Till, Osborne, Carruth, Cathey ( my line as well
as Elizabeth Doles - her mother is a Cathey descendant), Brevard,
Sherrill.

Please be specific with your requests.

Kathy
