Thus far I have been unable to locate a record of that marriage. I KNOW it was in North Carolina,- but that is covering a lot of territory!! Ha! Mary Stonestreet was born in Maryland- probably Pr. Georges Co. I DO NOT HAVE THE DATE OF HER BIRTH. Her father and mother were married in Pr. Geo. Co. in 1778. The afore-mentioned Mary, was the third child ,of the seven children mentided in her father's will,- which might indicate that she was born ca.1783/4. Her father was in Rowan County and Iredell County, N.C. from 1793- on into the new century- judging from the deeds I have from both counties. Mary Stonestreet met and married Isaacs in North Carolina,- and it seems logical that it was in one of thos? counties where they were married. Since neither Court House has the record, I was wondering if you knew of some OLD church records which might give me that much needed date? Butler Edelen was bapt. in the istablished Church in Md., but as Methodist at the time of his death in 1826 in Oldham Co., Ky., for he left a bequest to his Meth. Church| esa Mary died in 1812, though I have nothing but the old Bible re- cord to prove it. She died in y.C.. My G.Grandfather Abraham tsaace was two yrs. old at the time. When he was about 3 or 4 yrs. old, he could remember his father taking him on horseback to Oldham Co. Ky. to live with his Stonestreet grandparents. By the way, Butler idelen Stonestreet married Sarah Norton. I feel almost sure that the sameeren ,o. 1770, whose son Dr. Nichola», rot her Norton lived in Iredell Co. o my Sarah ‘Norton Stonestreet. Il have no positive information on that, as yet. There were other Stonestreet families in N.C., but 1 cangot re establish any relationship. Sincerely yours, Disa.

In the same community were | plenty of Ellises. Etheldred could have been a neighbor, but family tradition says he was from Virgin- | ja and a member of the conference. There are probably | more Ellises on those early con- ference rolls than any ether name, some from Virginia and some from the Yadkin valley, but Etheldred’s nate is not arnong them. An older Retiben Ellis, said to be Carolina- born; was one of the inner circle around Asbury. He died in 1796. School Mentioned | Btheldred Ellis and Elizabeth McKnight were married in 1795; | it was after 1800 that Nicholas | Norton and Sarah McKnight were married, Marriage bonds for both were in Rowan.

The road made a_ direct line from there to the Jacob Lents ford on Third Creek and dead jended into the “Old Mountain Road” at Chalmers Lackeys. If the direction of this road were H|continued it would go into Elk e |Shoals Creek. The Lentz family _ |used to walk this road to Elmer |Alexanders’ to get their mail.

Failing to get a free macre of land at the original site i 'a depot or station and he refused. Theacre was donated at the pre- sen site of Stony Point, probably ‘by Azor Sloan, and it was called |Sloans Station. Sloan had a store \there and much of the land was lowned by a Watt family. Stony Tinorthwest of its present location | originally. It ‘showed on a map '16 years before Sloans Station | was born, and according to the 'deed, it is 50 years, or more, old- jer than Sloans Station. ° I would be hard to change the name of a community known as \Stony Point for approximately 75 | years: therefore, as more people moved in near the |“station”, it Segained its old name lof the Stony Point community, ider area should show corners next to a church if one existed in that jarea. The deed for the land with I Stony Point written on it was jlater purchased by Jacob Lentz in #| 1862, during the Civil War, be- fore he was conscripted. The -ori- ginal owner was Robert Mordak | (Murdock) by land grant dated |Aug. 9,1789. | It later became the property of dock. The big field and old. home site is now owned by Walter \Myers and lays some distance back of his house. It was called the “old Murdock” field, being one of the largest fields in the community). In addition to the Murdock family, other early settlers were ia Mr. Joseph Olephant, and Mr. Sydney Norman Nicholag Sylves- ter Norton, known as Nicholas Norton. Nicholas was one of the early preachers and baptised many a baby in the community, including Grover and Robb Lentz. He was an ancestor of Hub Nor- ton. Mr. Joseph Olephant probably learned the water mill business at hi, fathers’ mill over near the Catawba River, which was shown on the map of 1777. He came up Third Creek and established a mill at what is now called the Lentz ford, or old Jagob Lentz place. At his death, the farm was divided int, at least three lots. HOne lot went to Mathew Oclphant : yand it had been sold twice by }January 28, 1854.

The mill burned soon after Stony Point moved to its present lota- tion or about 1895. é In March of 1897, all the mem- bers of the Lentz family were at j|home for the first time in 18 ‘years. Most of the boys had b2en jin the West. Charles Lentz and | his Brother Frank, seeing the ‘need to replace the burned mill, set up a stream operated saw mill and ¢otton gin in Stony |Point.

The steam traction engine soon made it easier to take the mil! to the dogs than haul the logs to the mill, This made the cotton gin only. seasonal business, They sold their entire venture to Mun Miller a- EAS ae the boiler §6r 50 cents a day. The ford crossing Third Creek ‘at the Lentz place is quite rockey, jas ig the hill to the west of the ‘creek.

April 18, 1889, (2 years afer Sloans Station open- ed) Andrew Davis and wife Mary Davis sold to Jacob Lentz forty acres of land adjoining Wm. J. Beckum, N. C. Beckum and J. 0. Lackey.

LOUISVILLE, KY. 40219 December,17, 197] Mr. T.f#.owann Rt. # 1, Box 196 Statesville, N.C. 28677 Dear Mr. Swann: Just thought I would drop you a few lines to let you know we have not forgotte: you and family. Hoping this finds you both in the best of health, this leave all of us doing very well, and working every day. We have had a very mild fall this year, with no real cold spells as yet. Of nights and weekends I have been doing quite a lot of research on I[rede]} and Rowan Counties, that is, on many, many families, part of whom were in both Counties. In order to make my records as clearly as possible, J] have reached the point where I am in serious need of a number of Maps, which would cover most of both Counties. The Maps you sent me,(that I made Photo-copies of) are very fine, but I need to cover more ground now. ‘Can you tell me where to write, where I may be able to purchase these sectiona) Maps ? I would certainly like to buy some copies of them, if at all possible. One of the families I am having some trouble with, is that of the SUMMERS. I am trying to get this family completed as much as I can, and of course it includes many other families, also. It seems that there were more than two.or three of the (01d) William Sumers, because I find so many different names of wives for them. I believe the "Old William Summers,"(father of John who md. Ann Clagett) was only a start of the old Summers who came to N.C., and settled prior to 1800. I find one Benjamin Summers, who had brothers, Paul and George, and al] three of them were in Iredell] County in early days (Prior to 180\)) It looks like they all must have had a son, William. Until I get further proof, I can hardly believe John and Ann Summers’ son, - Charles was the one that married SOPHIA BELL, and went to Tennessee. Do you know about the Charles Summers who married Sophia Bel] ? And whose daughter she was ? By, I hope I have not bored you too much with these questions, but. I would like very mech to hear from you again, Mr. Swann. Wishing for you both A HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON: Gloyd € oe Cae ed nal te-,.
