KING -
Hoping for help. In the 1895 Pine Creek School Dist for Carroll county I find Silas M. King 9 and Lias L King (7 I believe) living with John C and Louisa King Grandparents. They are also living with them on the 1900 Carroll county Census. Silas and Lias were both born in Indiana, as per census records. Hoping that someone can tell me what happened to these two and who their parents were. I have not been able to find them on the 1920 nor 1930 census records. Thanks for any help Pat

BOWMAN, GOLDEN, GOLDING -
I need help with some puzzling facts about my paternal grandmother Nancy R Golding who married Thomas J Bowman in 1903. The first record I have found for Nancy R, is in the 1900 census for Surry Co, NC. In the Dobson district, in household #98 Elizabeth Golding 35 was listed as a widow. She lived with four young individuals listed as her children, Sanders 23, Richard 21, Nancy 13, and Dona 11. Other documents indicate that the girls were born in VA, and that the young men's full names are Reuben Saunders Golding and Richard Houston Golding Searching previous VA censuses, I found in the 1880 census for Carroll Co, VA Fancy Gap district, household #324 a Reuben Golden 60, and wife Nancy 47. Their children are Nicholas F. 20, Elizabeth 18, James 16, Arizana 15, John H. 12, Martha F. 8, Reuben S. 6, Richard H. 5. I think that these last two could be the young men who were listed as sons of Elizabeth in 1900, but this possibility raises a lot of questions that I cannot answer.
For example, could Elizabeth be a second wife of Reuben?
Mainly though, I want the answer to the question, who are parents of Nancy R. and Dona A Golden/ing? I will appreciate and info or leads, Byron

BOWMAN, JONES, WOODS -
I am looking for any information on William and Jane Jones. Est born, 1800-1830. They lived in Carroll Co before moving to Patrick Co. They had several children. I believe they were Wm's stepchildren, but they end up using his last name for life. One daughter was named Hulda Ann Jones. On her marriage certificate she is listed as Hulda Ann Woods. I believe this is her mothers maiden name. On her death certificate it states she was born in Carroll County. I know everyone always says this, but her mother may have been an Indian. The reason I mentioned this is she is listed in the Cherokee records. This will make finding her hard. At one point the children were listed as Bowman. With all these names you'd think I could find something on these people!!!!

PUCKETT, SUTPHIN, TOLBERT -
Hi, I am trying to find out about the family of my great- grandparents,Elisha Banner Puckett and Nettie B. Tolbert Puckett. Have had some good connections with Elisha, but am confused about some of the info I have found about Nettie. I know they were both in Carroll County; have seen the census info,but am confused as to who Nettie's parents, grandparents were. I think her line goes back to the Sutphins, not sure which daughter in each generation is mother, grandmother, etc. Doesn't seem to be much info on her. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,
