Jesse Rountree who settled in Pitt County was my ancestor. Our shared ancestors are Francis Rowntree and Sarah Coleman – your 7-great grandparents and my 9-great grandparents.

Their son William Rountree and Sallie Forbes are my 4-great grandparents. Their daughter Mary “Polly” Rountree and Caleb Cannon II are my 3-great grandparents.Trish Worthington Cobb
