Interested in Phelps, Spruill, Hassell
My grandmother was born in Washington County in 1914. She was an only child, and her mother died within a couple of weeks of her birth. She was raised by her maternal grandparents, and her father remarried and had another family.
My grandmother's name was Arminta "T" Phelps. Her mother was Arminta Madre Lamb, and her father's name was Andrew Jackson Phelps (I think). Please let me know if you have any information that would link her to her relatives. I will post a follow-up with her further information soon (I know there are Spruills and Hassells as well in the line, but all that info is on my other computer, and I can't access it right now). Thank you, and God bless!!
I'm related through the Lamb line and can tell you the following:
Arminta Madre Lamb, b. 10/22/1888 Scuppernong, Washington County, NC (or poss. born Feb. 1893?), d. November 6, 1915, Skinnersville, NC, m. 12/21, 1913 to Andrew Jackson Phelps. I have Arminta's parents as Thaddeus Lamb and Hester Hassell. Her siblings were Thadeus Richard Lamb, Milton Augustus Lamm, and Wedell Marie Lamb. I have information on each of these as well - just let me know if you need it. I have Thaddeus's parents as Abner Lamb and Hester Spruill. I have Hester Hassell's parents as William Hassell and Melisa Spruill. I am not a professional genealogist. I just glean info from online sources and sometimes other individual's family trees. Hope this helps.
