Jul. 2012---I searched www.ncgenweb.us/greene/vitals/news-marr-deaths.htm and found the following:
Carolina Federal Republican Newspaper; New Bern, NC (CFRep) Mar. 5, 1814)
"Married. Greene Co. on the 24th Ultimate, Robert WITHERINGTON of Lenoir Co. to Miss Lovey OLDS."
My assumption: 24th Ultimate would have been Feb 24, 1814 since 24th of Mar had not happened yet.
After a little doubt, and a lot of hope I immediately went to ancestry.com and looked for family trees who might have listed Lovey Olds and found several. Some have 5 generations back on her line. There are several family stories and documents which all tie in to our Lovey. Lovey mentioned her children and grandchildren's name in her will and these families are found in Greene Co, NC also. In fact, there is a town there now, named "Olds". Her daughter Martha and husband, Amos Joyner are found there in Olds in 1860 and in Snow Hill just a few miles away in 1880, both in Greene County.

Sometimes these ancestors tap me on the shoulder and tell me to look in a new website for their information. Lately, I have been using http://www.ancestry.com/ almost every day in my research. There is a fee to use that site, however, it is well worth it if you plan to do much researching. They have census records, military records, birth, death and marriage records and much more. I have put my family tree on their site as well as others so we can coordinate our family lines. Another good site is http://www.familysearch.org/. This site will be changing their name soon to familytree.org. For a list of almost all websites that pertain to family history research, see: http://www.cyndislist.com/.
