Question:

Looking fort information on My grandfather and grandmother Edgar Britt and Frances Cooper Britt from ComoNnjhj

Looking for information on my Grandfather Edgar Britt and his wife Frances Cooper Britt they were from Como NC then migrated to Franklin Va my grand mother was from the Merhin India Tribe the year I believe was the early 1900's please help thanks.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I see them 1930 census at Franklin in Southampton County on Bance St, yes born NC as was their eldest son at home, Alfancie born about 1900. The younger ones Marian 17, Edith 15, Peter D 11, and Doretha 10 were born there in VA. There are 4 little Britt grandchildren with them also. Edger born about 1880, she 2 years younger.

This looks to be them. Maybe.

There is also a Ben COOPER born about 1870 NC in that township, off chance it's her brother. I did not find him 1880. Any chance Frances was a COWPER? If so, she's in Manneys Neck 1880.

By now your family history should be about completed without having to have looked even once at a census image or searched any historical resource. It's much easier to exploit others' good natures, time and efforts.
