Greg, glad to know you are in this group. I just joined. I'm Carol Carawan
Horne - granddaughter of George Wallace. We've met.
This weekend we (Rex and I) were in Greensboro for our regional assembly and
Wilma was there. It was wonderful to see her.
Sorry, I don't know any information regarding Delilah White.
Have you visited the Carawan cemetery in Lowland? I'll be glad to show it
to you. But bring plenty of mosquito repellent!
Choicest regards to you.
Carol

Subject: My Carawan Line (Greg Williams)
Hi Folks,
Here's my Carawan line which was discovered some years ago with the help
of Goose Creek Islanders who "knew" the story. My grandmother was born
out-of-wedlock on Goose Creek Island in 1898 and there is neither a
record of her birth nor a record of the identity of her father.
Thankfully, Goose Creek Island genealogists were able to confirm her
paternal line.
Gen. 1: Gregory W. Williams (born 31 March 1953 at Bossier Parish,
Louisiana).
Gen 2: Cary T. Wiliams (born 25 December 1924 at Elizabeth City, NC)
Married Hilda Ann Austin (born 8 Dec. 1929 at Manteo, NC) on 11 Sept.
1947 at Elizabeth City, NC.
Gen 3: Vesta Holton (born 28 April 1898 at Goose Creek Island, NC,
and died 4 Jan 1987 at Elizabeth City, NC) married Wilson Dozier
Williams III (born 4 Oct. 1895 at Elizabeth City, NC, and died 25 Nov
1969 at Elizabeth City, NC) on 23 Dec 1916 at Elizabeth City, NC.
Gen 4: George Wallace Carawan (born 3 Aug 1874 at Lowland, NC, and died
12 April 1944 at Fentress, VA). The mother of Vesta Holton was Laura
Dean Lewis (born 23 May 1875 at Lowland and died 3 Feb 1945 at Elizabeth
City, NC). She was the widow of J. Waldon Holton. George Wallace Carawan
and Laura Dean Lewis never married.
Gen 5: George Marcus Carawan (born 6 Oct. 1830 in Hyde Co. and died
11 Sept. 1917 at Lowland) married Marietta Alcock (born 21 April 1851 in
Tyrrell Co. and died 28 Feb 1908 at Lowland) on 9 July 1870 in Beaufort
Co.
Gen 6+ See the line of Wiliam D. Carawan.
Can anyone help me with the lineage of Delilah White who married
Benjamin Carawan? Thanks, Greg
