SCARBOROUGH, MINCHEW/MINSHEW/MINSHREW
Bill McLean 6/14/98
Would like to correspond with anyone who has information on, or is researching the SCARBOROUGH family of Greene Co. I'm interested in the David, Joshua, Martha, and Sidney SCARBOROUGH who appear in the 1800 census of that county. Also appearing in the same census are Isaac MINSHEW, Sr. and Jr. (spelled MINSHREW in the census record), along with several others of the same surname. Isaac MINSHEW/MINCHEW married Elizabeth SCARBOROUGH, the sister of David and Joshua SCARBOROUGH. I'd like very much to find out more about these families and especially would like to know who the father of these SCARBOROUGH's was and if they connect with any of the SCARBOROUGH families of earlier Dobbs and Edgecombe counties.
JONES

Does anyone have information on the family of Reading JONES who lived in Dobbs/Greene County in the early 1800's.
Also, there was a John JONES, Sr. and a John JONES, Jr. living in Dobbs/Greene County in 1800. Does anyone know of the families of these two men. John JONES, Sr. was a Baptist Preacher, I think. Thank you.
WHEELER, WILCOX, CARAWAY, PRICE, WHITLEY, GAY
Evelyn Hendricks 5/26/98
Does any one know anything about this family? William Henry WHEELER was born about 1830. Family tradition is that he was born in Wake Co., N.C. and was orphaned at an early age. He was endentured to Adam WILCOX of Greene Co.,N.C. In 1855 he married Malvina CARAWAY of Greene Co., N.C. She was the daughter of Mathew CARAWAY and his wife Nancy PRICE. Malvina was born in March, 1834 in Greene Co., N.C. William Henry (I believe he was called Henry) died about 1880 to 1885 of pneumonia. He is buried in an unmarked grave in Greene Co. Malvina died in Nov., 1924 or 1925 in Greene Co. She is buried beside her husband. The cemetry is about a mile from Harrel Swamp Free Baptist Church, in a field behind a house. They lived near Walstonburg. Malvina belonged to the Free Will Baptist Church. Before her marriage, Malvina was the superintendant of weaving at the Faircloth plantation near Walstonburg.
Children:
1. Nancy Elizabeth (Nanny)born Oct 1, 1856, married before 1878 to John Henry WHITLEY, died 22 May, 1924 in Greene Co.,N.C.
2. Hulda Virginia (Jenny) born about 1858, married Edward WHITLEY
3. William Henry, Jr., born 12 Dec., 1861 in Walstonburg, Greene Co., N.C., married 29 Dec., 1880 to Matilda Lizer (Ida) GAY, died 17 Nov., 1930 in Walstonburg, Greene Co., N.C.
4. Frank WHEELER married Hattie SAUREY. He lived in Raleigh, Wake Co.,N.C.
5. Johnny WHEELER, died young of TB
6. Charlie WHEELER, died young of TB
7. Ella WHEELER, married Johnny GARRIS, died in 1905 in childbirth. William Henry and Malvina were my great-grandparents, through their son William Henry, Jr. I have not been able to find any additional information on him. I have a picture of him in his Civil War uniform (Confederate) but have not even been able to find him in the CW records. I did find one who might be the right one, but the age is off by about ten years, so am not sure of that.

GAY
Lynn Johnson 4/14/98
Searching for traces of the family of my great-grandfather, John William GAY. John was born in 1861 in Snow Hill, Greene County. His father, William Richard GAY would have been born about 1832, where I can't find. From census records, I know he was in Wilson County in 1860, and I know that he died in Richmond of a belly wound in 1864, when John was three. John returned to Wayne County with his mother.
John stated in 1902 that his grandfather was William GAY. He also told his son that either his father or grandfather ran a "jewelry shop" in Snow Hill and that one of them "killed a deer and the deer killed him". The deer was shot but not killed, and when approached so that whichever could kill him, reared up and gored the hunter in the chest.
Does ANYBODY have this family in their records?
