Dear Cousin:

We appreciate the information sent to us on March 15, 1974.
It was a surprise to learn that a Benjamin Churchill also lived in
New Bern. We were unable to determine who his father was since there
were a number of pages not included in those you sent. Do you happen
to know which line he is from?

On page 354,a son of Samuel Churchill numbered number five also
came to North Carolina. Charles Churchill married Matilda Johnson in
1828 in Iredale County, North Carolina, and you will note that he was
a nephew of Charles, Jr. of New Bern.

We had hoped that having a list of children of Captain Cherles
and Lidia Belden would give us the clue needed to tie in our William
Churchill of Duplin County. Since it did not, we need now to check
the children of the beothers of Captain Charles. With the discovery
of others coming to North Carolina, there is a good chance that a first
cousin of Charles, Jr. may have come to North Caroline and is, perhaps,
the William Churchill of Duplin County.

Is there anyone that you know that would xerox additional pages for
us? If you know of no one, we will inquire of the Library of Congress
to determine if the staff will reproduce specified pages.

Since we know that William of Duplin was over 45 on the 1800
Duplin census, it was felt that since his age and Charles, Jr's wa
about the same that they might be brothers. Now, it appears he might
have been a first cousin instead.

Thank you for your cooperation in our search.

Yours truly,

L. Allen Churchill
