Hi Jewelle,
I'm Barry Wetherington, ListHost for RootsWeb Lists for Wetheringtonm
Witherington, Carruthers, Dare, Easterling, Fitchett, and others. I remember you
from some time ago, BUT, altho I remember the concept of the Pitt Co Chronicles,
I don't quite remember what they were. Perhaps some of us could use a bit of a
refresher. I do recall that there was an older man who wrote a quite extensive
Gen (cemetery?) set of notes/observations from way back. Is that associated
w/the Chronicles? Sorry, I'm not real sure I have the concept - am I the only
one?
Barry

Subject: [Witherington] Chronicles of Pitt County
| Hello Everyone!!
| First of all, I apologize if some of you get inundated with my post,
as I plan to send it to all the List to which I belong.... so, please, bear with
me and interact ... or delete!! <BigSmile>
|
| For years, my members in our GENPCNCFIR Group have been clambering for
either a copy or reprint of the Chronicles of Pitt County.... and of course,
none were available. All were completely sold out! Now!!! I have great
news!!!
|
| I have it on absolute authority that a reprint/update of the
Chronicles of Pitt County are forthcoming ... just a matter of finding the
funding to-date... and inasmuch as Pitt County is the root of SO many families
that migrated to adjoining counties and outlying states, I feel compel to share
with all of you the excitement and activity that has been generated in our
dynamic Group, GENPCNCFIR, reference this. Our Archives are Open To The Public
so, if interested, check it out:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/genpcncfir/messages
|
| More than likely, updates to existing family material will be
forthcoming, plus additional new family histories documented. If your roots
began in Pitt and you want to be included, begin compiling your information now.
Space may be limited. The Pitt Co Historical Society is in the process now of
finding funding for their project.
|
| As a stimulus to them (Pitt County Historical Society), and.... to get
your name in the pot... it was suggested that I start a List of Potential Buyers
to present to the Society. All interested persons, please send to me PERSONALLY
... jewelle(a)coastalnet.com NOT THROUGH THE LIST... (we don't want to
clutter mailboxes unnecessarily) your full name, address, any constructive
comments, and/or whether or not you have a desire to be included in the new
edition or have constructive suggestions for funding or ... happily... even
willing to make a donation toward the cost (do not send funds to me, only
information). No.. I am NOT a member of the Society nor do I have an ulterior
motive!!! .... only a desire to see this new Chronicle in print again!!
|
| I have been advised that the potential selling price will probably be in the
range of $50.00 to $100.00. Well worth every penny, IMHO... and a
treasure-trove to anyone's personal genealogical library.
|
| Thanks for your participation and I look forward to hearing from you.
You will be updated on results from time to time.
