My name is Karen Hunnings, and I too am researching Baldwin Halsey. I came across your name in Rootsweb.com and wanted to touch base with you. Your entry was the first that I have seen that lists his place of death and burial. Where is Rogers Family Cemetery?
My grandfather's grandfather was Baldwin Halsey Hunnings from Tyrrell county, NC. I have placed Baldwin Woods Halsey in Tyrrell County in the early 1800's, from an apprenticeship list for that county. I know that his brother, Joseph, was the town clerk for years there.
Thank you so much for this information---it really helps me put this fellow in a certain geographical area...I show him on the apprenticeship bonds for Tyrrell County, NC in 1810-11, listing his occupation as seaman. I had tried to keep up with his family and records, but could not find anywhere it listed his burial. I figured he might have been buried at sea.

Florence Loomis Bohlayer
There is now only Aunt Loretta left of my grandma's father's siblings.
From Aunt Marilyn:
Hello Cousins,
Mom passed away about 10 PM our time. We are waiting for Hospice to come
make it official. She had been semi-conscious since the weekend and her
passing was peaceful. That was what we had been praying for - for her to
be free of pain and fear. Will update you with more information when we
get the arrangements made.
Love,
Marilyn

Victor and Frances
Marriage certificate dated Aug 7 1929 says Victor 23, Frances 22. He was born Oct 18, 1908, so was really 20. She was born Feb 8, 1911, so was really 18. According to the certificate itself, they had to be 18 to marry. Which they were, so I don't know why they gave wrong ages.

Camden County
Victor Rogers Southerland and Frances Abby Deans married in Camden County, NC, in the town of South Mills.
(from Gary)
Your grandad said his parents went to north carolina to get married because it was easier; probably got married by a justice of the peace. South Mills was the first place in NC they would have come to on highway 17 south, the main road south out of Portsmouth, Va.
