I am trying to find a marriage certificate when William Grancier Embry III & Nancy Duncan were married. The information I have is they were married on December 22, 1785 in NC. I have been told that Nancy was an indian. It was common for an indian woman be given the name of Nancy. Nancy was born about 1760 in Indian Territory, NC. And died unknown, possibly in Butler County, KY.If anyone can help me, I most appreciate it.
Thank you for your time.
God Bless

Dead End – Suggs – Help!
For over 15 years certain members of my family and myself have been looking for information pertaining to my great grandfather, his early life and where he came from. This hasn’t been easy to come across. The farthest we have been able to go back was 1900 in Shelby County Alabama. We have put this off hoping to find something more ourselves, but I think it’s time to ask for assistance, or at least some advice on where to look to get an answer. Below you will find a link to our information.I hope someone here can be of some help, thank you

J.W. (Will) Suggs:
J.W. was known as Will, Willis but death records list him as J.W. No one in the family knows what the J. stands for. As the story goes he was from N.C. His parents apparently died when he was young, he and a brother (George?) and sister (name unknown) were raised by and aunt and uncle who owned a mill.
He worked for the railroad tha ran from Shelby Co. Al. to S.C. Possibly the A&O. He was also a stonemason. He met Matilda in S.C. and they got married in S.C. or Ga. and came to live in Shelby Co. around 1896. They are found on the 1900 census in Shelby Co. and in Morgan Co. on the 1910 census. No record can be found of J.W. prior to 1900.
Which Native American Tribe Resided around Halifax and Palmyra NC in the Early 1800’s?
Over the year I have been told that my great great great grandmother was an American Indian who had married a previous slave. I traced her name which was morning who was born in 1825 somewhere in North Carolina and lived in the Palmyra /Halifax areas in North Carolina. Trying to find out if there were any American Indian tribes living in that area. she was born abt 1825 and I know she lived in these areas around 1845. I can’t find her maiden name only her married name.
