Craver / Graber - Foy - Fishel - Robinson - McAteerUpdated April 17, 2010

I am researching several families, all of which ended up in and around the Piedmont area of North Carolina.
My CRAVER family of NC has its roots in the GRABER/GREBER/GRAEBER families of PA.The name Craver was translated in my family from the German Graber in the late 1700s.I am specifically interested in Andreas Graber (B. abt. 1700, D. abt. 1760) in PA, whose son, Philip Craver (1745-1820) migrated with his family to Rowan County, NC.Many of Philip's descendants still live in this area, now Davidson County, NC.Others moved to IN, IL, GA and TX.
My FOY family is traced back to John Foy, B. 1804 in NC.John was probably the son of Andrew Foy and Hannah Amos.Andrew was living in Montgomery County, PA in 1790.By 1800 he was listed in Stokes County, NC, and later in Rockingham County, NC.In the 1830 census, John Foy and a much younger Andrew Foy appear in the Rockingham County census.They lived near each other so it is possible that they were both sons of the the elder Andrew Foy.Other possible children of the elder Andrew Foy are Richard Henry Foy, Pleasant Nichols Foy, Samuel Foy, James Madison Foy, Elizabeth Foy, and Hester Foy.Andrew Foy's birth date is estimated based on the 1810 and 1820 Rockingham County census records.His death date is estimated because he does not show up in the 1830 census.An older female, perhaps Andrew's widow, Hannah Amos Foy, is listed in the 1830 census record with a much younger Andrew Foy, probably the son.
My ROBINSON family lived in Kershaw, Chesterfield and Lancaster counties in SC during the late 1700s and early 1800s.William Robinson had at least 10 children, including my ancestor, Littleton Robinson (B. abt. 1801).Most of this information was researched in the 1980s and 1990s by me and my mother, Margruette Robinson Craver.
My FISHEL family originated in Germany and immigrated to York County, PA, in 1742.My ancestor, Johann Adam Fishel, moved to the Friedberg community of Forsyth and Davidson counties, NC, about 1779.Most of the information on the NC Fishels was researched by my mother, Margruette Robinson "Pete" Craver, who died in 2003.I transcribed her information into my database after her death.
My McATEER family originated in Ireland.Most of the information I have on this family is descendants of Alexander Smith McAteer, B. 1809 in SC, who married Jane M. Porter, B. 1810 in SC.The information on this family is listed as a gedcom tree below.
You will find various reports on the Craver/Graber, Foy, Robinson, and Fishel families at the bottom of this page.
