Relatives in Edenton (Grandfather: house, live, cemetery)

[MikeWills]

I am trying to find out about my families relatives from Edenton. Specifically, from the Yeopim area. My Great Grandmother and her brothers and sister and my Grandfather are buried at Caanan Temple AME Church cemetery. If anyone knows anything about the Wills, Brown, Bembury families, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried the Edenton Historical Society? I'd start there. If they don't have anything, I bet they'd do some research for you. They live for that stuff!

Hey Mike. My fiance is a Wills as well. His family is from Edenton and a lot of them still live there. We have family reunions there once a year. Reply back if you are still looking for information on them.

Hi Knoturavgchick,

That would be great. I am still looking for information. First, congrats on your upcoming nuptuals .

My e-mail address is mackenterprises@optonline.net. I have a lot of infomation but I could always use more. I'm especially interested in finding some old pictures of them if it's possible. And I would be interested in a family reunion. I know that my Aunt June and my father's cousin Cordelia used to have them back in the late 80's.

You can also leave me a message on my cell phone at 347-683-7610. Thanks for responding.

Mike Wills
