Casstevens, Frances. Through Some Very Lonely Looking Wood: The Story of a Yadkin County Family's Journey Through Tennessee, NCGS Journal, Raleigh, NC: North Carolina Genealogical Society, May 1990.

Editor's Introduction: During the first half of the nineteenth century, thousands of North Carolinians migrated to new territories west or south.  Their experiences on the road were generally unrecorded, unlik those of the Harding family which were related in a rare family record.  In an article which offers a vivid sense of the challenges and rewards of migration, a Harding descendant illustrates how a researcher may evaluate a document, how a family record can be used, and how such a record can be frustrating as well as informative. Mrs. Casstevens expresses particular gratitude to the Southern Historical Collection at the University of North Carolina Library in Chapel Hill. 

As a child, I often heard the story of how my grandfather, Dr. Thomas R. Harding, had fallen out of the back of the wagon as it crossed a stream and then moved up a steep hill on the Harding family's way to the West . . . 

. . . Only recently did I learn that a diary existed which had been kept on that journey by my grandfather's sister, Keziah Ann.  . . .

Allen, James, comp. Joshua Perry of Granville, Bute & Warren Counties, North Carolina, Rocky Mount, NC, Allen, 1999.

The purpose of this research is to provide historical and genealogical information about Joshua Perry, who came to North Carolina from (probably) Virginia in the 1740s. The data presented herein as accurate as I could make it, but I realize that there are errors and omissions. Therefore, I urge extreme caution when using and citing this report. 

This report is constructed as a research tool, and a beginning point for others conducting genealogical research. . . . It has been said by authorities in the field that genealogical compilations such as this one should never be cited without verifying that original sources are correct. I agree completely with this philosophy. Whenever possible, primary documents rather than secondary sources should be consulted. 

My research and that of others has failed to find a single primary source that

Allison, K.J. A History of the County of York, East Riding, Vol. II, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1974.

Map of the Wapentake of Dickering includes towns/parishes Lowthorpe, 

In 1086 the East Riding was the only part of Yorkshire which was divided into hundreds. The transformation of hundreds into wapentakes had already been completed in the other two ridings and was in various stages of completion in the rest of the Danelaw. The change took place in the East Riding during the next 80 years and by the 1160s the 18 Domesday hundreds had been formed into 6 wapentakes. Dickering wapentake, first mentioned in 1166, was broadly coextensive with the three Domesday hundreds of Hunthou, Turbar and Burton.

Burton hundred took its name from its principal township of Burton Agnes. It contained in 1086 the remainder of the townships, mostly in the centre and west, which make up Dickering wapentake. These were Binnington, Boythorpe, Burton Agnes, Butterwick, Carnaby, Caythorpe, Ganton, Gransmoor, Haisthorpe, Harpham, Kilham, Langtoft, Lowthorpe, Octon, Potter Brompton, Rudston, Ruston Parva, Swaythorpe, Thornholme, Thorpe, Thwing and Willerby, together with 'Fornetorp' later depopulated. 

The hundreds of Hunthou, Turbar, and Burton were probably grouped around the large manors of Bridlington, Hunmanby and Burton Agnes respectively. . . . Burton Agnes had 3 berewicks and soke in 5 townships in Burton. 

The wapentake remained in the hands of the Crown until at least the mid 17th century. In 1552 and 1567 the office of wapentake bailiff, traceable from c. 1220 was granted for life to successive holders, the second of whom was rewarded out of the issues of this and other wapentakes.

Cascine Plantation

This is the Perry family's starter home built in 1750.  It is absolutely as small as it looks. It is Georgian in style and is a story and a "jump." with two rooms upstairs.  

Temperance (Perry) Parrish

Temperance Perry was born in 1789 in Franklin County, North Carolina.  Her father was Jeremiah "Redhead" Perry. He was called that because he was a redhead and to help distinguish from all the other Jeremiah Perrys living in Franklin County.  Franklin County is just north east of Raleigh, NC.  

The 1790 Franklin County, NC census lists the following Perrys:

James, Burwell, Jeremiah, Jeremiah, John Sr., Joshua, William, Joshua, Ephraim, Drury, Jeremiah, John, Ephraim 

Jeremiah - 2-1-7-5 2 males under 16, 1 male over 16, 7 females and 5 slaves
Jeremiah - 1-1-1-3 1 male under 16, 1 male over 16, 1 female and 3 slaves - not Redhead
Jeremiah - 1-1-3-3 1 male under 16, 1 male over 16, 3 females and 3 slaves

Parrish / Perry

Edward Parrish b. 1753 - 1762 NC, d. 25 Jan. 1843 Putnam Co. IN, md. ca. 1788/89 Susan ? Family seems to have lived around Warren County, NC. They moved with their family to Rowan Co. NC before leaving for Indiana.

Their son Ezekiel Parrish b. ca. 1786 in Rowan Co. NC, d. 1829 Putnam Co. IN, md. Temperance Perry in NC. Temperance is found living with her son Ezekiel in Illinois. Temperance is said to have been the daughter of Jeremiah "Redhead" Perry, but I cannot find proof of this. This is the Perry family that lived at Cascine near Louisberg in Franklin Co. NC.
