CHESTNUTT, DARDEN, DIXON, KEEN, MURPHREY, MURPHY, PARKER posted by Sue Skay Abruscato on Thursday, February 13, 1997

Richard MURPHY/MURPHREY became guardian of Willis, Willie and Mary MURPHREY in 1809 Amite Co., MS, parents unknown. Richard stated in his Rev. war pension application that he was born in 1762 in Pender Co., NC and served under a William Dixon. In the 1790 census for Sampson Co., we find Michael, Richard, Miles, William, Edward and Charles MURPHY/MURPHREY. Michael married Mary PARKER in 1778 Pender, is the suspected son of Capt. John MURPHREY of Greene Co., NC, and Isle of Wight VA. William MURPHY/MURPHREY married Susannah Parker in 1779 (I believe that Miles Murphrey was the bondsman) The names Miles and William continue on down through our line of MURPHREY'S. Families associated with these Sampson Co., MURPHREY'S are CHESTNUTT, DARDEN, KEEN, PARKER. Would be interested in hearing from other researcher's working on these families. Would like to determine parentage of Willis (born August 19, 1792 in NC), Willie and Mary MURPHREY. Mississippi records only show guardianship records, no other mention of parents.

HEWITT, WHITEHURST posted by Shawn Hewitt on Monday, February 24, 1997

Researching the HEWITT families of Pender Co., NC. The earliest families I know of are those of John and Mary HEWITT and Thomas and Elizabeth (WHITEHURST) HEWITT, who were in the county by the 1760s. I suspect that John and Thomas were brothers. Have a substantial amount of information on these families and their descendants, but there are many details that need to be filled in as well. Would like to hear from anyone who has an interest in these families. Known intermarriages include surnames PITTS, WEEKS, WHITEHURST, WATSON, and WILLIAMSON, Descendants of John and Mary include include John, Thomas, and Sarah (m WEEKS); children of son John are believed to be Rigdon, Ellenor, Willett, Desire (m, MITCHELL), and Dempsey.
