LAWS posted by Nyoka Ford-Stewart on Friday, February 4, 2000

Greetings. I am researching my family's roots. The name of my ggf is Compton LAWS. He was born in NC, but family rumor states that the family began in Ireland > Maryland > North Carolina. Compton is a very odd first name, and I have not been able to find it anywhere.

BOES, ROMANY posted by David W. Rafferty on Thursday, March 2, 2000

Looking for any descendants of Frank C. BOES, who died on Apr 10, 1977 in Salisbury at the Health Center, after a long illness. His obit was recently received and lists an unnamed grandson, grand-children and a nephew as survivors. Mr. Boes was originally from Utica, NY and was a great uncle of my wife, Deborah Pfeifer Rafferty. We would like to link up with any relatives still in the area. He was buried at the Episcopal cemetary in Salisbury. All the obit mentioned was Mr. Boes had a daughter named ROMANY that predeceased him, so we would assume that the grandson had the same name. Thanks.

JARMAN, JONES, KING, MORRIS, SMITH, TIMMONS posted by Carol Wilson on Tuesday, March 21, 2000

Ezekiel TIMMONS was said to have come originally from Somerset County. He shows up in land deeds in Sussex Co., DE in the 1760s or so. In 1798, he deeded his properties, Fortitude, Happiness, Pea Hill, Cannon's Lott and Brown's Hog Range to his son Ezekiel with half of Pea Hill and Happiness going to son John. John deeded his property to brother Ezekiel in 1804. Ezekiel married an unknown woman, believed by some to be Nicey MORRIS d/o Robert Morris. He had one son, believed to be Robert Morris Timmons, and a daughter, possibly Twilley Timmons , who are listed but not named in the 1800 Sussex Co. Census. Son John E. was b. 1811 and Ezekiel was b. 1813. John E. married Mary Ellen SMITH d/o George and Rachel JONES SMITH. Rachel was the daughter of Jacob S. and Mary Jones. Ezekiel (b. 1813) married Levinia KING, daughter of Southy and Elizabeth JARMAN King. Sothey was the son of Caldwell King while Elizabeth was the d/o Joshua and Esther Timmons Jarman. Esther was the daughter of Matthias Timmons. Does any one have documentation proving the name of the eldest Ezekiel's wife or who his parents were? They lived near the border of Sussex and Worcester Counties near Lowes Crossroads. Anyone able to help me, please e-mail me directly, since I am unable to get on line much to check the sites currently. Thanking you in advance.
