Carolyn,
My great great grandmother of Guilford County, NC was Mary Barbary Soots (have seen other spellings, Suits,etc).She married William Fogleman in May of 1839.She was the daughter of Tobias Suits.
We believe that William was the son of Peter Fogleman Jr.We do not have death dates on William or Barbara but their approximate birth dates are 1817-1820.
William's family including sons and daughters moved eastward to Orange/now known as "Durham" County about 1880 and worked as millers for the wealthy Cameron-Bennehan planters at Stagville, Fairntosh in Durham County.Some of the family stayed on in this area and became farmers and two of William's sons went back westward to Guilford County and Alamance County.
We have been researching this for the past year.Would like to correspond with you about our Suits/Soots ancestors.
