Warters/Waters of Greene, Craven & Wayne Counties  

I am researching the Tobias Sr. Warters line. My great grandmother was # 11, Ellen Olivia Warters. Although raised in the Air Force, we did get back to North Carolina to visit. My aunt Rose Lee Heath took me out to pick tobacco with her. It was not a fun job and I hated the bugs.

I cannot get any further back that Tobias Sr.. Any help is appreciated. I am also looking for a link between the Lenoir WATERS/WARTERS and mine. Patty Day - paday.geo@yahoo.com
