I have a very large database of my formal and informal research on the PACE family of Western North Carolina. They came to Rutherford/Buncombe/Henderson/Polk in 1804. The land that is now the city of Saluda, NC was once the property of my 3rd Great Grandfather, Cornelius PACE. It is mostly the descendents of Burrell PACE and his wife, Lydia WOODRUFF, and their children. I have several published genealogies and history of the PACE family back through Surry and Edgecombe counties into Jamestown, VA from about 1615. In addition, I can do lookups for the COLE family of Buncombe. I have a copy of the book by Ruth E. JOHNSON of Hendersonville, "Gathering The Clan, John Burnett Cole - Amanda A. Todd Genealogy". My wife and I recently donated a copy of this book to OBCGS. Jonathan A. Pace Marietta, GA (770) 422-6866 |

I am interested in obtaining a copy of a genealogy entitled " Genealogy of 1500 Descendants of Amos, Samuel, Stephen & Zachariah Cabe or McCabe". I understand it was published by Macon Graphics in the mid 1980's but have been unable to find a telephone listing. The writers are Elsie Wheatcroft & Margie Cabe Keener. I am a descendant of Zachariah Cabe & a cousin stated she had a copy. Any information would be most helpful. Sincerely, Michael Thomas PO Box 1815 Goose Creek SC 29445. THOMDAV@aol.com |

I'm searching for a copy (used is fine) of the McEntire/McIntyre family history probably entitled McEntires by Russell McEntire. Apparently it is out of print. I'm uncertain of the title except that it is on the McEntires of Western North Carolina. People have quoted information out of it to me. I'd like to buy a copy from anyone who has one they don't want anymore. I was told that the Genealogical Society in Shelby, NC sold copies but they say it's out of print. Please email.

The National Melungeon Registry WHO ARE THE MELUNGEONS? The Melungeons are most likely the descendants of the late 16th century Portuguese, Spanish and Turks stranded on the Carolina shores when the settlement of Santa Elena, South Carolina was abandoned by the Spanish. They later intermarried with the Powhatan, Pamunkey, Chickahominy and Catawba Indians. After being abandoned in the outlying Spanish forts, they settled in the Appalachians and further intermarried with the Cherokees and much later with the northern European settlers; primarily the Scotch-Irish, becoming part of the American Melting Pot. The word Melungeon is both Portuguese, meaning "white person" and Turkish, meaning "cursed soul." The National Melungeon Registry has been established to collect and preserve Melungeon genealogical and historical information.
