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,
