I'm trying to locate information on my Great Grandfather who's name is Ripley Doyle (Doyal by some records). He died when my Dad was 13 and he was only 31. His parents were Mulattos and it stops there. Can you help?

I'm researching Doyle, Meachum, Silver, Evans, Smith, Lawrence. These families are from the Scotland Neck, NC area or/and Halifax county. Some in Enfield, or Brinkelyville.
