GiGi,
I am sorry I am just getting back to you. But I was reading over some information under Free Persons of Color. I saw you have Grice and Hobbs.

My ggg grandmother was Susan Hobbs. Her daughter gg grandma, Eliza. Jane Hobbs married gg grandpa, Dublin Mclamb and they resided in Halls Township, Sampson County, NC.

Also Dublin and Eliza. Jane Mclamb, oldest daughter, Lular Mclamb married John Grice and they resided in Onslow County, Jacksonville, NC.

Does these names ring a bell with you?
Just curious.

Alice
