Members

• John Auborn I have lots of ancestors who came through Virginia and the Carolinas to Tennessee.
• H Baggott - ancestor in Province of North Carolina (1712-1776) Some of my ancestors, without moving, went from being Virginians to North Carolinians once they redrew the lines. Also, writing biographies is a favorite pastime.

• Donnie Blackstone - family in Haywood, Macon, Jackson, NC. Maternal family- Parker in Franklin, Andrews, Transylvania, and Haywood, NC and Tennessee Valley, North Carolina
• Brenda Breland Shaffer - Almost all of my ancestors arrived in Virginia, and |will be working on sources on profiles to validate them and familial relationships.}}

My main interest is original settlers of what is now North Carolina, especially Craven, Duplin and McDowell Counties, and South Carolina, particularly the Ninety-Six District and Greenville areas. My main surnames are Brice, Walker, Anderson, West, Burchfield, Hunter, Murphy, Dobson and Smith.
• Loretta Buckner My entire paternal side appears to date back to the earliest days of North Carolina--currently researching (aka obsessing) Quakers, and adding categories for those in the Cane Creek area. Created database, adding sources which makes it easier for me to quickly identify anyone appearing on the 1790 & 1800 Chatham county census, and have now added Quakers to it.
• Deb McCarter Most of my paternal side were in Virginia and North Carolina pre 1776. I have particular interest in collaborating to document the Burch/Lawrence intermarriage connections.

• C Carpenter - I am currently attempting to provide detailed review of Quaker records along with land records to provide greater clarity of the Jordan families that moved to the Georgia backcountry in 1760-70s. As the creator & editor of the WilsonFamilyTreeAlbumBlog, I have helped fill in detailed documented the Posey & related families to arrival in Virginia (about 1628) and Maryland (by 1640); along with detailed work on Leavens, Crews, Miller, Sing, Webb, Burns, Buffel, Brownlee, Crockford, de Wees, Sowder, Henckel, & Shepard families. Hoping to continue to share information as well as providing clear picture with additional documentation to several family lines.

Across all Duke groups, we have recently begun to request profile protection on the earliest progenitors.
• Michael J Hatfield-My ancestry runs from Pennsylvania to Tennessee either directly, via North Carolina, or via Virginia. Also Delaware to North Carolina to Tennessee and Virginia to Tennessee either directly or via North Carolina. Several are pre-1700 and many direct ancestors & siblings are Revolutionary War veterans.

• Dianne Farquharson my family seems to. have lived among the same group of people for the pasted 300 years. I want to understand the dynamics that influenced marriages and family bonding.
