"Spurgeon Faulk"
The person you refer to as Spurgeon Faulk, as well as many others, your # 2986 (2795) is in reality Stephen E. or Stephen Carrie Faulk.According to census records he is listed as Stephen E. Faulk.His death certificate in Columbus County, NC, is Stephen Carrie Faulk.
I have found no legal document noting a Spurgeon Faulk anywhere.Neither has anyone responded to my challenge to disprove the death certificate and census records.His tombstone is listed Rev. S. E. Faulk.
I have shared this information with other genealogists, but it appears some have difficulty accepting proven research.
I married his greatgranddaughter, Nancy Louise Faulk.
