DOPSON/DOBSON-MOORE - have researched Jesse
Dopson/Dobson for the past few years and no further now than
when I began. I ordered his military record but it had only that he
entered Revolution from NC, that he was a prisoner of British for a
time (it doesn't give dates), and that he married Averilla
Moore 1/31/1791 in Wilkes Co., GA. I have clippings of tax
default in the area of Wilkes/Columbia Co., GA, but also learned he
paid them in another county, and that he lived over seventeen years
in one place, but there is also evidence he returned to NC,
Mecklenburg Co., 1809. He must have been much older than Averilla,
and according to one record, Averilla filed for his pension in 1818,
indicating his death was 1817-1818, and she was identified as 'widow
of Jesse Dopson.' I would love to learn his age, his parents
and if there were siblings. I cannot find him in NC, only the
military record lets me know he was there.

BARKER - GALYEAN - Searching for siblings of Leander(1818) and Daniel BARKER(1835), whose parents were Jeremiah BARKER (1790) and Susanna GALYEAN(ca 1793) of Surry Co., NC. According to the 1830 Surry Co., NC census, there were 5 children listed in the home of Jeremiah and Susanna. We only know of the two mentioned above.

RIGGS-TOMKINS-SCOTT - I am putting together a genealogical
record of Samuel RIGGS and his wife Elizabeth TOMKINS.
I know there are descendants still living in Surry Co. and would
appreciate any information on this family. I am a descendant of Zadok
RIGGS and his wife Sarah SCOTT. Zadok was born in
Morristown, New Jersey and Sarah was born in Halifax or Pittsyvania,
Virginia. John SCOTT married Chloe RIGGS, so there is a
double relationship with these two families. They left Surry Co. in
1795 for Lincoln Co., Kentucky and from there to Boone County,
Missouri; the SCOTT family to Illinois. I am also interested
in family photos and will pay a reasonable price for copies.
