Friday, Quinn, Ratchford, and Robinson are the four family names from which I come. They are all well known names in Lincoln and Gaston Counties in the Piedmont region of NC.

If you are interested in these families, here are two good sources for beginning research:

RATCHFORDS, I RECKON by Wilma Ratchford Craig

Our Kin: Being a History of the Hoffman, Rhyne, Costner, Rudisill, by Laban Miles Hoffman

Both of these books are available at the Gaston County History Museum in Dallas, NC.

I also have a fine unpublished manuscript history of the Robinson family of Gaston County, written by Rev. Carroll Robinson.

If you are interested in discussing Gaston County Families, please contact me.

Also look at the VIRTUAL CEMETARY on genealogy.com. I uploaded several tombstone pictures there for Friday and Ratchford families.
