These petitioners therefore pray, the premises considered, that the proprietor will be pleased so far to extend his favour to the inhabitants and owners of lands there, as to erect the same into a town or borough, that they may be authorized to keep markets on such days as may be thought convenient, that they may be impowered to chuse burgesses and inferior officers as shall be found necessary for the encouraging virtue, preserving the king's peace, and the detecting of vice; that they my be enabled to form and enact such ordinances for the regulation of the market and streets, and cleansing and mending the streets and highways within the precincts of the said town or borough, as may prove commodious and advantageous both to the said town and country adjacent; that the precincts may be bounded, and that the proprietor will be pleased of his good favour to grant them such of these, or such other privileges as in his wisdom he shall think and esteem expedient, and these petitioners shall as in duty bound ever pray, &c.

Middletown, New Castle Co., DE
...David Witherspoon, who married the widow of Andrew PETERSON, settled upon the King’s Road at the place now known as Middletown, where, in 1761, he built the old Middletown tavern and kept it until his death, two years later. The following petition to the court of New Castle in 1761 is interesting as coming from the people of the vicinity:
"Whereas there hath not heretofore been any publick Road from the Lower King’s Road to Samuel Vance’s Mill for the Inhabitants residing in the upper part of the above said hundred (St. George’s) and below the said King’s Road, nor from the upper King’s Road to said Mill for such of the Inhabitants who reside that way; But only such by-paths as has from time to time been made use of, which is a very great Inconveniency for such of the inhabitants as do frequent the said Mill to get their own grain ground or to transport their wheat thither for sale."
The petitioner asked for a road "from the lower King’s road which shall pass between the improved lands of William Golden and James Macdonough to the said mill and from thence to the upper Kings road near to the new meeting-house or upper part of David Witherspoon’s plantation." The signers were ******WILLIAM WHITTET******, William PRICE, William Hannoway, Daniel McConnell, F.V.

Whereas WILLIAM WHITEHEAD, of CHRISTINE HUNDRED, in the county
of NEW CASTLE, obtained one certain obligation of Eighty
Pounds, lawful Money of Pennsylvania, bearing date the 28th day
of August, 1755, from me the subscriber, for the payment of
Forty Pounds, like money, on or before the 28th day of August,
in the year of our Lord 1756; now these are to forewarn any
person or persons to take assignment on, or otherwise take, the
said obligation, expecting thereby to receive the conditions
thereof, for as the said obligation was obtained by fraud, and
for no valuable consideration, therefore I hereby give notice
that I will not pay the same.

13. WILLIAM WHITTED HOUSE - NE corner CHURTON and E. Queen Sts. Lot originally purchased by William Whitted, 1780. The portion fronting E. Queen St. is very old; the central hall and southeast parlor retain their deeply beveled paneling and six-paneled doors. The Churton St. side has by contrast a Victorian facade, which once featured a massive portico. The well-house with its cone-shaped roof and finial and the cook-house, joined by the breezeway to the main house, were added after 1900.

Location - Shown in a 1970s diagram to be east off Hwy 86 North, about 3 miles north of the Hwy 86-Bypass 70 intersection in northern Hillsborough [in 1996]. Go up a hill on Hwy 86, past a concrete block store on the right [in 1996 enlarged by a wooden structure but apparently abandoned, with a one-story apartment building off to the rear], and with Jones Grove Baptist Church sitting back off to the left of the highway. 'Charlie Torain's' house [in the 1970s] stood on the right, [whether or not you go as far as Coleman Loop Road (SR #1334) was not shown]; you were to turn right just past his house on an old road and drive east for some undetermined distance. The cemetery was not shown on the chart [which suggests a survey was never made].
214WHITTED, WILLIAM, JR. FAMILY CEMETERY (CA. 1821)
Location - Off St. Mary's Road (SR #1002), at Bluffs of Eno sign, down Dumont Drive, on right hand (west) side of the road a short distance from St. Mary's Road. Wooded area surrounds rock-walled cemetery and there appear to be at least a score of graves outside the crumbling walls on all sides.
Survey - This cemetery was surveyed by Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Engstrom and B. B. Doak on October 18, 1973. A plat is in the cemetery folder.
Comment - See the note under entry 'W----, L'.
Graves, Marked - There were 11 marked graves.
Graves, Unmarked - There were 41 unmarked graves.
Current Status - Cemetery is so badly deteriorated that it is almost beyond survey. Rock walls have fallen. Trees have pushed walls and tombstones out of position. The whole is covered with brambles and rose canes. Developer tossed trees in the area when clearing Bluffs-of-Eno Road. Unless salvage work is done, cemetery probably cannot be surveyed again. 4 rows of graves (36 or more) inside wall; 1 Row visible on west side outside wall; several rows on southern side. Bluffs-of-Eno Road may have destroyed a few graves on eastern side.
215WHITTED FAMILY CEMETERY [WHITTED-GRADY-OBIE CEM.] - BLACK
This cemetery is also known as the Whitted-Grady-Obie Families cemetery.
Location - North of Hwy 70 diagonally opposite from the Hillsborough Motor Lodge. The Whitted Cemetery is in the woodland to the rear of 'The Old Whitted House' and slightly to the eastward.
Survey - This cemetery was surveyed on December 6, 1974.
Graves, Marked - There were 20 graves marked.
Graves, Unmarked - There were 23 unmarked graves.
Current Status - The unfenced cemetery of seven rows is unkempt, although it appears to be cleaned at intervals. There are rough stones and blank funeral markers. Mr. Clyde W. Whitted, Sr. of Hillsborough has supplied the identifications for 10 of these names. The earliest marked grave is that of Baby --ell, R. Obie, d. 1933.

This Benjamin was born about 1775 and married Synthia Woodward. He came from the Anson Co., N. Carolina area. He is the father of Alva Hark Clenney.
My grandfather was the son of Jesse Alexander Clenney 1853-1931. (brother of Alva Hark) His name was Joe Lantie CLenney.

==============
NOTES by the transcriber Alex Thompson:
In his 1796 Orange County will (Will Book C-82), James Hall named wife Mary (nee Clenny), sons Levi and Jehu Hall, and several daughters. Jehu was the younger son and received James' home plantation. The 1816 Property Tax for Orange County showed Jehu Hall with 384 ac. Jordan's Creek. Jehu was born there 05 Sep 1772 and died 27 Nov 1856, per dates on his tombstone at Union Ridge Cemetery. His will is recorded in Alamance County Will Book 1 p. 105, but a microfilm of the applicable page obtained from the Family History Library is illegible.
The mother of all Jehu's children was Ann Graham, daughter of John Graham and Frances Mebane. Jehu and Ann's Orange Co. NC Marriage Bond:
Ann Grimes & Jehu Hall, Bond Date: 08 Apr 1797; Bondsmen: Isaac Hall and Jonathan Clenny, Witness: Abner B Bruce.
Jehu's marriage bond with wife Elizabeth of the above will:
Elizabeth McCleure & Jehu Hall, Bond Date: 13 Mar 1828; Bondsman: Jo Clendenen.
The Family Bible give dates of birth for the eight daughters mentioned in Jehu's will as:
Frances 26 Jan 1800; Nancy 13 Dec 1801; Mary 18 Feb 1804
Sarah 16 Feb 1806; Margaret 08 Dec 1808; Catherine 21 Apr 1811
Edna 15 Aug 1816; Lucinda 07 Jan 1819
In addition, there was one son, William Hall born 02 Mar 1798. William was Jehu's neighbor in the 1850 Census of Alamance County North District, but his widow Harriet (nee Morton) was household head in the 1860 Census.

Transcript of a letter written by John Henry Simpson to his brother William R. Simpson...
Mr. Wm R. Simpson
High Rock
Rockingham Coty. N.C.
July 1, 1841
Memphis, TENN.
Dear Brother,
It is with the greatest pleasure that I take my pen in hand to inform you that I rec your letter some time since & was much gratified to hear from you and to hear the family was all well.I was surprised to hear of so many marriages in so short a time & more particularly to hear of PLEASANT & SANDERS FEAGINS marrying.I would like to know who they married.You also stated that Lawson CASWELL [or Boswell] was married, but did not say whether he returned to N.C. & married or whether he married in Indiana.
I was very much gratified to hear from VINSON GARRET.I have been looking for a letter from him for some time but have rec none.I suppose he is so busy courting the girls that he cannot take time to write.Tell Vince I should very much like to be with him in some of his spreys.Give my respects to GEORGE BARKER & DAVE.Tell CROOK [???] he ought to be here if he wants to see fun-------.I am still living in MEMPHIS & I expect I shall continue here for some time though it is very sickly here at this time the people are dying very fast.I don't consider that a man is safe here, some days there are 4 or five deaths, & there is scarsely a house that there is not some one of the family confined to their beds & in some families nearly all are sick.A good many are leaving for the country though I won't say that I am much alarmed as yet, I felt very serious when I first came here to see so many dying, but it has become so common a thing that I do not think much about it.
There is a disease here that is killing off the people very fast & there has not the first one recovered that has taken with it & they generally die in less than 48 hours after they are taken.The physicians call it the congestive fever & they all say it is equally as dangerous as the cholera or yellow fever, but I believe I shall live untill I die anyhow & in any country, but still I believe N. C. is a much healthier country than this.I wrote a letter to father some 2 or 3 weeks since & in that I stated that I expected to return in the fall & I still expect to return if life lasts, & if all the girls are not married I expect to give some of them an offer&&& but I am thinking that they will all be married before that time if they continue to as they have commenced.
I often think of you all & there is nothing in the world that would afford me more pleasure than to see you all and I expect to see you all this winter, I do not see much satisfaction here but I know that I make more money here than I could in that country, but still I have to spend more here than I would have to spend there.I am getting $8.00 per month & at no expence more than my clothing but that costs a good deal when a man has to buy every thing.I saw Mr. COLINS last week he was well & sends his respects to all the family, he has commenced preaching again, he informed me that the church to which he belonged had rec 5 members &&& when you write to me let me know where to direct a letter to Aunt Mary HUSKINS.Do not fail.Give my love to all the family & & You must excuse bad writing and mistakes as I am in a great hurry && You must write me as soon as you get this and let me know how the times are generally && Give my love to all enquiring friends and except of my best wishes for your welfare and happiness.I add no more but remain yours truly &&
J. H. SIMPSON
[[[other side of letter starts...
My Dear Cousin/
I have nothing of interest to say to you Cousin Henry and myself are living together.You must write me and I will take the greatest pleasure in answering your letter.. you must not let the sickness in this country alarm you it is very sickly here to what it is in N.C. tho cousin and myself will start out in...]]]

Bellevue (c. 1800, c. 1807 kitchen, c. 1870) - Bellevue is a striking example of an Italianate style villa. It first belonged to James Hogg and was known as "the school-house lot." SAMUEL CHINNY bought the land in 1799 and built the eastern portion of the house. The kitchen is one of the finest examples of a detached kitchen in the area and was most likely built by James Phillips who lived in the house from 1807-1847. In 1853 Thomas Blount purchased and enlarged the house, adding two rooms upstairs and downstairs, a central tower and porches.

Yeargin Mill
History of the University of North Carolina (1907)by Kemp Plummer Battle, page 767-768: "We will now cross the ridge to the north, descending into the valley of Bowlin's Creek. Rising to the north we see the Iron Mountain, where excavations show a goodly quantity of valuable ore, but up to this time too far from coal to be merchantable. We pass the University water works and come to a most romantic defile, called Glenburnie. In it was the oldest pre-Revolutionary mill in this section, called Yeargin's. The mud sill may still be seen. Along the stream on the south bank is a lovely path of countless ferns, which I name the Fern Bank walk." Elsewehere in this book he refers to the miller as Benjamin Yeargin, son of Andrew Yeargin, this farm belonging in part to Oregon Tenney in 1907. According to Well Worth A Shindy, the water pumped up from Bolin Creek came along a water line along Church Street in Chapel Hill, which would have put the Yeargin mill near Umstead Park.
The Fern Bank Walk is plainly shown on the 1896/1918 topographical map of Chapel Hill at the mouth of Tanyard Branch, which is at Umstead Park in Chapel Hill (which is where Yeargin's Mill was).
This site apparently sold from Mark Patterson
to Benjamin Yeargin (DB 4, pg 25 & 37) in 1788
to WILLIAM WHITTED and JOHN CRAIG (DB 12, pg 342) in 1805
to James Putney (DB 14, pg 27) in 1810
to Edward Robson (DB 13, pg 514) also in 1810.
The mill was apparently built by Benjamin Yeargin about the year 1790.

(probably before 1790 or about 1790) - William COURTNEY, Sr. may have sold it or the Ayr Mount tract may have been offered for sale to William KIRKLAND by the heirs of COURTNEY.William COURTNEY, Sr. , died intestate and his 821-acre tract was divided into smaller tracts:Tract No. 2 was sold by JOSEPH COURTNEY on Nov. 30, 1799...to William KIRKLAND (DB 8, 297); Tract No. 3 (the present Montrose, was finally acquired by JOHN (JEHU) WHITTED; and Tract No."William KIRKLAND's tract, formerly the property of William Courtney Sr."This seems without any doubt to be the Ayr Mount Tract.No deed from Courtney to Kirkland exists in the Register of Deed's office, Orange County.

WINTON, NC was incorporated in 1766. The bill incorporating the town was introduced in the Assembly by Representative Benjamin WYNN who donated fifty acres as the town common. The town was named for him and was briefly known as Wynntown. The new town was soon made the county seat of government and has remained such ever since.
As the new nation grew prominent New England traders used Winton as their trading point for southern goods. Among them was Elkanah Watson of Massachusetts who lived nearby and conducted his business in Winton. He later returned to New England where he completed the Erie Canal and began the state fair movement in America. Another was Eli FOOTE, grandfather of Harriet Beecher STOWE, who died while on a trading mission to Winton and is buried in the Colonial Cemetery here. The river continues to attract commerce and industry as is evidenced by the location of the Easco Aluminum Company within the Town of Winton and the Nucor Steel Mill nearby.
Winton also played a part in the development of the tobacco industry in North Carolina. Here in 1881 David ANDERSON OWEN, tobacco pioneer who had traveled eastern North Carolina with WASHINGTON DUKE, built and operated Northeastern North Carolina’s only tobacco manufacturing factory. The Owen Tobacco Company produced Winton Smoking Tobacco, Owen Plug Tobacco and other tobacco products. Owen’s grave is in the Old Church Cemetery in Winton.
Fishing has played a major role in the history of Winton. At one time the Chowan River teemed with herring and shad in season. The JORDAN family of Winton carried on large seine fishing operations at Mt. GALLANT on the west side of Winton and at BARFIELDS and Petty Shore on the east. Hauls of 100,000 fish were made twice a day. Today the river remains a favorite place for sports fishing. Bass tournaments and other fishing events are held frequently.
During the Civil war Winton suffered its greatest tragedy. On February 20, 1862 the town was invaded by Union troops and burned to the ground. This was the first burning of a town anywhere during the Civil War occurring nearly two years before Sherman’s march through the South. The Federals approached Winton in three gunboats which had come up the Chowan River. They first bombarded the town. Finding it poorly defended they poured ashore plundering and setting fire to the Courthouse and to all of the county’s colonial records and then to every remaining structure in town except a church and one or two houses identified as belonging to Northern sympathizers. The town was virtually completely destroyed. The savagery and brutality of the uncalled for sacking and burning of Winton evoked protests in the North even in New York City from which the Federal troops came. The result for the invading regiment was denial of medals it had received for earlier action and disgrace for its leader.

Guardian Sneed of Mary Whitted, Orange Co.NC 1832
Posted by: Pamela Boan (ID *****3126) Date: May 03, 2008 at 06:14:17
of 397
thought I would ask if you know anything of this Mary Whitted who is listed in a deed of trust for my Willis Reeves as follows
1832 Orange co Willis Reeves indebted for the bond of $600. to the guardian of Mary Whitted, Jonathan P. Sneed. He makes this indenture of all his property to the said Jonathan Sneed and Stephen Moore to cover this debt.
I am trying to find out who these people are and why Willis would put up so much property of 3 different deeds to cover this bond, land he bought in 1799, 1800 and 1821.
thanks,
Pam

In Reply to: Re: Nancy Whitted m. John Young - Orange CO, NC by Victor Hastingsof 398
I have seen two researchers who list the death of John Young as 1822 or Nov 1822 (Richard Pickett and Kerry Keener). I don't have information on how this was arrived at. I put Nancy Whitted as dying between 1842 and 1845. Levi Whitted Young was b. 27 May 1813 in Hillsborough, Orange, NC. Joseph J. Young was b. 1818 in NC. Levi married Sarah Clancy 17 Mar 1837 in Hillsborough. Levi Young is listed in the 1840 census in Marengo Co, Alabama. A son Thomas Clancy Young was born in 1841. Sarah Clancy Young died 25 Jan 1842 in Demopolis, Marengo, AL. The Feb 1842 Hillsborough Recorder announced the death of Sarah "wife of Levi W. Young, mouned by husband and mother-in-law." Levi married Sarah M. Gaither April 1 1844 in Austin Co., TX. Levi is on the tax list in Bastrop Co., TX in 1846. Jan. 12, 1847 he married Mary E. Duff in Austin County, TX. On 1 Apr 1847 his marriage notice was mentioned in the Hillsborough Recorder. This couple had twins: Hastings (M) and Eno (F) on 29 Sep 1849. Levi died 14 Sept. 1853 in Bastrop County, TX. His is buried in Oliver Cemetery, Bastrop, TX. Please feel free to contact me by e-mail directly as well.

Notes for HENRY WHITTED, ESQ.:
Slavery in Orange County
Slavery was well established in the colony of North Carolina long before Orange County came into being.Slavery was not as important an institution in Orange County as other places.At no time did slaves constitute more than 31 percent of the total population of the county.In 1755 (3 years after its founding) only 8 percent of the families owned slaves.The largest slaveholder at that time, Mark MORGAN, had only 6 slaves.By 1780, however, 3 percent of Orange Co slaveholders had more than 20 slaves.The 1790 census showed 10,055 whites, 2,060 Negro slaves, and 101 other free persons.At that time there were 14 slaveholders who had 10 slaves or more.4 of these 14 lived in Hillsboro.William COOPER was the largest slaveholder in Hillsboro with 22 and Richard BENNEHAN, a planter, was the largest slaveholder in the county with 24.Others who had 10 or more were George ALLEN, John TAYLOR, Matthew McCAULEY, John HOGAN, homas H. PERKINS with 10 each; Walter ALVES with 11; William SHEPPARD and William O'NEAL with 12 each; Hardy MORGAN with 14; Alexander MEBANE with 16; and a person whose name is not known with 20.In 1860 less than half of all landowners in the county had slaves. Over 40 percent of those had only one slave.The following is a direct quote:"Most slaveholders owned a small number of slaves, hence the relationship between master and slave was very close.The master knew his slaves by name, took a personal interest in them individually, and looked upon them almost as members of his family" In 1860 the 3 largest slaveholders were I. N. PATTERSON with 106, Paul CAMERON with 98, and Henry WHITTED with 78.

The Colonial Inn:Its History and Significance by Cathleen Turner, Executive Director The Alliance for Historic HillsboroughFor almost two centuries the Colonial Inn, as the building at 153 W. King St. is affectionately yet mistakenly called, has been central in Hillsborough's social and architectural history. Built during the late Federal period, it began as a hotel to accommodate travelers to the county seat...
...RICHISON NICHOLS purchased the inn from Spencer in 1841.In its earliest form, the inn was of the late Federal/early Greek Revival style, yet quite understated, as was typical in Hillsborough.During the period it was owned by Nichols, he expanded the inn to the west and south and extended the prominent one-story porch across the front and out to the street, incorporating the sidewalk in the public right of way.As architectural historians Catherine Bishir and Michael Southern point out in A Guide to the Historic Architecture of Piedmont NC, this type of public porch was once common in NorthCarolina, but has seemingly disappeared.Nichols was also probably responsible for the rear addition located beyond the lobby door and reconfiguring the interior lobby stair.Nichols sold the inn (Lot 15) in 1856 to the Hillsborough Improvement Company made up of the three Stroud brothers, Alfred, Henry, and Cave...

...Meantime, Captain Berry had continued his career as an architect and builder in his own community. He built the stone jail in Hillsborough and in 1845 completed there the Orange County Courthouse, regarded by many today as his masterpiece. The cornerstone was laid on September 7, 1844, by Captain Berry's own lodge, Eagle Lodge Number 19. The lodge also opened Masonic Hall for a festive dinner "on the temperance principle," served by RICHISON NICHOLS, owner of the Orange Hotel (now the Colonial Inn), and the building proceeded according to plan. In 1846, Lemuel Lynch brought out the clock from its storage place in a warehouse on King Street, ordered new parts, and two new dials for it, installed it, and the people of Orange had their courthouse which, the Recorder triumphantly said, "is not surpassed by any courthouse in the State, and . . . is perhaps not surpassed in the Union." Editor Dennis Heartt noted with particular pride and satisfaction that the architect and builder of the beautiful structure was one of Orange County's own...

Notes for HENRY WHITTED, ESQ.:
Slavery in Orange County
Slavery was well established in the colony of North Carolina long before Orange County came into being.Slavery was not as important an institution in Orange County as other places.At no time did slaves constitute more than 31 percent of the total population of the county.In 1755 (3 years after its founding) only 8 percent of the families owned slaves.The largest slaveholder at that time, Mark MORGAN, had only 6 slaves.By 1780, however, 3 percent of Orange Co slaveholders had more than 20 slaves.The 1790 census showed 10,055 whites, 2,060 Negro slaves, and 101 other free persons.At that time there were 14 slaveholders who had 10 slaves or more.4 of these 14 lived in Hillsboro.William COOPER was the largest slaveholder in Hillsboro with 22 and Richard BENNEHAN, a planter, was the largest slaveholder in the county with 24.Others who had 10 or more were George ALLEN, John TAYLOR, Matthew McCAULEY, John HOGAN, homas H. PERKINS with 10 each; Walter ALVES with 11; William SHEPPARD and William O'NEAL with 12 each; Hardy MORGAN with 14; Alexander MEBANE with 16; and a person whose name is not known with 20.In 1860 less than half of all landowners in the county had slaves. Over 40 percent of those had only one slave.The following is a direct quote:"Most slaveholders owned a small number of slaves, hence the relationship between master and slave was very close.The master knew his slaves by name, took a personal interest in them individually, and looked upon them almost as members of his family" In 1860 the 3 largest slaveholders were I. N. PATTERSON with 106, Paul CAMERON with 98, and Henry WHITTED with 78.

Grant,
I am a descendant of Jesse Thomas Young and Jane Curry Bird and saw your genealogy information including the Birds posted on Ancestry.com.
As you list, Jesse Thomas Young and Jane Curry Bird were married July 14, 1842 in Carroll Co. MS.They had one son, Spencer Young (my great grandfather) b April 15, 1843.Jane Curry Bird died sometime after that. Jesses Young then married Elizabeth Ann Chambers January 2, 1846.The family moved to Drew county Arkansas around 1854.
You note that Jesse Thomas Young's parents are unknown. That information has been unknown to us as well however in recent months another Young researcher has identified from a recently discovered death certificate, that Jesse's parents were James Young and Nancy Wadelton/Wadlington of Newberry Co., SC.It turns out that Nancy Wadlington's brother was the B.G. Wadlington who married Susan Bird so we feel there is a good chance Nancy Wadlington is indeed Jesse's mother.
The missing piece is final confirmation that the Nancy Wadlington did marry James Young and that they had a son Jesse.
There is another possible connection, Nancy Wadlington's brother Spencer married an Elizabeth Chambers, probably to old to be the one who married Jesse in 1946.The point is the Chambers family seems to have been closely associated with both the Youngs and the Birds.
Finally, Hugh R. Young who married Selina Bird eventually settled in central Texas after the death of Selina.He is buried in Williamson Co.less than 50 miles from Killeen, Bell Co. Texas where Spencer Young settled after the Civil War. Unfortunately, I have not yet researched the origins of Hugh Young.
The key of course is definitely proving through documentation that Jesse Thomas Young's mother, Nancy Wadleton/Wadlington is one and the same as Nancy Wadlington of Newberry Co, SC.
My primary question to you is, did you run across references to Young and Chambers surnames in your research on the Birds?Additionally, do you have any hint at the locatioon of the burial of James C. Bird or even more to the point, Jane Curry Bird?James C. Bird's youngest son, Augustus, is buried in the Mission Church cemetery in what is now Montgomery Co., MS.I have been unable to find the burial location of any of the other Birds.
I have a web site at www.daytex.com which summarizes some of the information I have on the Young's and Birds.
Sorry to ramble so.We have a number of loose pieces we are trying to fit together.Any insight you might have will be appreciated.

In Reply to: Whitted History in NC by Antonio Whittedof 397
I have just returned from the Williams-Whitted family reunion in Lumberton/St.Paul/Tolarsville area. My husband's grandmother was a Whitted. We are trying to learn more about her forebears from around that area as well. My husband has some relatives still living in that general area, and in particular has some on Chickenfoot Rd.
One thing that I learned from family researchers is that they descended from slaves formerly held by William N. Whitted b. 1813. At the time, I've been told that he held at least 143 slaves. The plantation was in Bladen County in the area of Highway 87 S, near the Cumberland County line. The plantation was formerly called Prospect Hall, but it does not survive today as it was demolished and the property is now supposedly called Deerfield Farms.
I wish I lived closer to North Carolina so I could take a look in the local churches, libraries and courthouses.
If any of this sounds familiar, please let me know and please feel free to share data.

Notes for GEORGE HERNDON, ESQ.:
Hi Grant,
I am a Herndon researcher trying to connect all descendents of William Herndon and Catherine Digges.I have the George Herndon m. 1866 Martha Aldridge, no children listed.I show his birth as Nov. 25, 1817 d. 1904 no places.Obviously, 1817 and 1812 would be an easy mistake.I also show a previous marriage before 1850 but to another Martha (this could be a mistake also) and three children, John E., William M., and Thomas G.This information comes from "The Herndons of the American Revolution
(Being The Herndon Family of Virginia:Vol. 2 Part 4" by John Goodwin Herndon.Reprints of this book are still available I believe from Dudley Herndon [email protected] found my copies in the State Library Nashville, TN.Hope this helps
If you could bring me up to date on any of these lines I would greatly appreciate adding it to my file.Thanks,John Herndon

82.LEVIAS WALKER6 SHAW (NANCY ELIZABETH5 WALKER, SARAH4 BIRD, MARY3 WHITTED, SARAH2 CLENEAY, WILLIAM1) was born August 17, 1828 in Orange Co., NC, and died March 31, 1873 in Monroeton, Simpsonville Township, Rockingham Co., NC.He married MARY WALL September 15, 1853 in Rockingham Co., NC, daughter of JOHN WALL and EMILY/PERMELIA WHITSETT.She was born February 20, 1835 in Rockingham Co., NC, and died October 02, 1872 in Monroeton, Simpsonville Township, Rockingham Co., NC.
Notes for LEVIAS WALKER SHAW:
There was a John Shaw (black male, 42) ($0 real estate/100 personal) (can't r/w) with wife Adia (28), children: Albert (16), Sinda (12), Jane (8), William (7), George (6), David (4), Isabella (2), all listed in the 1870 census beside Levi and Mary Shaw in Monroeton.This was slave John, inherited by Mary Wall by her grandfather James WHIITSETT in 1852.These former slaves were apparently still living on or beside Levias Shaw's farm.Also in John Shaw's household was Albert WALL, a white male "peddler" with no real estate and $100 in personal estate (though just above him is Isabella Shaw (2) who was listed with $300 in real estate and $150 in personal property -- probably a clerical error.I believe this former slave John Shaw was the fellow who was working in the Shaw & Co. mill.John Shaw died of "uremia" from prostate enlargement on 25aug1918 in Monroe Township, Guilford Co., NC and was buried at Bass Chapel on 27aug1918.Funeral Home was McNeill & Smoot.Informant was Charlie Shaw of Route 7, Brown Summit.Widow Ada died in 1923.
There was also the black family of Ike Shaw who lived beside Nancy Emily SHAW and husband John A. CAMPBELL in Caswell Co. and Ike's son John Shaw lived beside Cora Lee SHAW and husband Willie Lea MILES in Caswell Co.Ike Shaw was obviously a former Shaw slave, whether or not Levias Walker Shaw's slave -- Ike and his family, just as John Shaw of Rockingham Co. (Levi's former slave who may have run the grist mill), seem to have remained very close to their former owners and even gave their children the same given names as Levias Walker Shaw's family (Cora, Albert, etc.).

From an article by Robert W. Carter Jr. in the Rockingham Journal of History:
"...Levi Shaw was a man of many talents, for after his death, the sale of his personal property lists him as the owner of carpenter's tools, cooper's tools, blacksmith's tools, whiskey distillery equipment, and as owner of a half interest in a cane mill and half interest in a saw mill.Tradition relates that the Miller at Shaw's Mill was a black man.
At the end of the fiscal year in June 1870, Shaw's Mill had ground 3,000 bushels of corn into 3,250 bushels of meal valued at $3,500.The mill, with a capital investment of $1,500, operated approximately eight months per year with one employee who received $200 per year.The water wheel generated 16 horsepower.No sawmill was listed in 1870.By 1872 Shaw is listed as owning half interest in a sawmill, so it appears that the sawmill was installed at the grist mill between those dates.John (Jack) A. Roach (1838-1912) purchased Shaw's half interest in the sawmill for $150[[[???]]] in April of 1873 [[[deed recorded in April]]].Roach, a neighbor of Shaw's who lived at Midway (crossroads) before he moved to Reidsville, owned two farms, 'the upper Roach place' where he lived and "the lower Roach place"also known as the 'Beaver Swamp Farm,' on Haw River."
Robert Carter also wrote about Levi Shaw's iron mine:"No mining of iron ore occurred on Levi Shaw's Iron Mine Farm between the 1790's and 1869.In April 1869, Thomas GRAHAM of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, leased several farms on both sides of Haw River, including Levi Shaw's.These leases gave Graham the right to mine iron ore and to pay the leasee at the rate of 50 cents for each miner's ton (2,350 pounds).The iron deposits on the Shaw farm were named "Dannemora Mine."Considerable ore was mined there for a year or two, but by 1871 operations had ceased.In 1871, Dr. J. P. Lesley, state geologist of Pennsylvania, made a report on these deposits for Graham's North Carolina Center Iron Company.The report gave the dimensions of the ore lenses as 125 feet long, 80 feet in incline width and 12 feet thick.Up to this period, all mining in the area had been surface mining.Shortly before or during 1880, two shafts were dug to a considerable depth.Tradition relates that the main shaft was dug to a depth of 70 to 90 feet.At this depth, so much water entered the mine that a steam engine was purchased to pump water from the shaft.The engine was probably employed to wench small ore cars up the incline track to the mouth of the shaft.In 1880 four miners were employed at the mine under the supervision of Peter Graham.Two of the miners were natives of England.One of the workers, a negro named Thacker, lived in the area for over fifty years after the mine closed and related many stories of its operation.The ore was loaded on wagons and hauled across Haw River on "Braswell's Bridge" to BROWN SUMMIT, where it was hauled by rail to Guilford County for smelting in the company forges located one and a half miles north of Friendship near the Tuscarora Mine...
The Shaw heirs continued to own the Iron Mine Farm until 1894 when it was sold at public auction under a decree of the county superior court.At the auction on July 30, 1894, Mrs. Elizabeth CUMMINGS, widow of Michael P. Cummings,purchased the property.Mrs. Cummings rented the farm to various tenants until her death in 1935, when the farm was divided into three tracts.In 1939 Mrs. Cummings' heirs gave S. M. MOORE an option on part of the Iron Mine property, which he purchased on January 1, 1940.His heirs still own the property..."
________________
Indeed the farm was auctioned off in 1894. On the courthouse steps in Wentworth.It did not look like it was a voluntary sale.Mrs Elizabeth CUNNINGHAM (Cummings) was the highest bidder at $1850.It mentioned all the heirs except Pinckney.Deed vol. 97 page 179.Y.H. R. Scott administrator.

Alma's number is 931-761-2769.She lives in the Peeled Chestnut area between Smithville and Sparta in DeKalb County.She is quite deaf but has something on her phone so she can hear quite well.Sometimes I have to repeat something but for the most part she hears quite well.She goes with my husband and me when we are there to different cemeteries and laughed last time we went and told my husband she didn't think I was really checking on my ancestors but really looking for a final resting place I liked.Alma is around 79.She lives at the home place.She took care ofher mother til she died several years ago. Her brother R.V. lives right next door on Billings Rd.Alma lives on Ray Billings (her dad) road.I have known her since I was a child as we lived in Smithville for 4 years.She has an income tax office so evening might be a better time to call her.Tell her Ramona told you to call.She will be happy to help you.She loves to visit about the different relatives.If memory serves me right I think one of the Shaws and wife is buried at the Billings Cemetery on Billings Road.I will check this out when I get home today and let you know.
When we lived in TN we lived out kind of NE of Smithville in the country off the road on past the black settlement (had their own church, school, store, etc).One day my sister and I were down playing at the little spring close to our house.An elderly black lady came down while we were there.She kept her milk, butter, etc in the spring to keep it cool.She asked our names and when we told her Ramona and Rose Billings she looked so pleased and said "Oh, you are some of my kin!"We went back and told Mom and she said that was Bunk Shaw's wife and that he was born to one of the Shaw slaves.This was in about 1946 so he was pretty old by then.Years later we mentioned it to Mom and she said he was quite a bit older than his wife.Would have had to be pretty old to have been born during slavery.Mom said Mr Shaw had quite a lot of money.I noticed on the census on Ancestry.com that when John lived near Sarah Billings that he had a Phelps girl who was domestic help (or something like that).
We live in South Texas at Goliad.We go to TN every year or so.Didn't make it this year as I had a hip replacement in Feb and one in Aug.Hope to go this year again.Billings reunion is the 3rd Sun in Aug.
Will see what I can find on the Shaw family when I get home this afternoon.

>My ancestors as far back as I can learn came from Ireland and settled in

>My Great Grand Father was Named John, and in company with one of his

>North West of Hillsborough before the Revolutionary War and as a soldier
>took part in it on the side of the Colonies, and for Independence, but in
>what division or under what general I have not been able to learn. But his
>son Ashford Walker, Kept his uniform coat that he wore in the service and
>carried it with him when he moved from North Carolina to Haywood County,
>Tennessee, about the year 1830. His daughter Mrs. Wilder who is now living
>assures me that it was well preserved and that she recollects distinctly
>how it was made. It was blue trimed with red and she thinks had some marks
>of being the coat of an officer. I recollect very distinctly up to the year
>1848, that there was a military company kept up in that neighborhood and
>had been for many years before as I was told, and the uniform was a blue
>coat trimed with red straight breated, cut square back from the front, with
>a short square skirt behind. I suppose it was the uniform coat of the
>Company to which my Great Grand Father belonged, as that neighborhood was
>noted for its numerous and patriocit adherents and supporters of
>Independence, the principle of whom were the numerous families of Mebanes,
>who were distinguished for their bravery.

>My Great Grand Father married a Miss Ashford and they had Eleven sons, but

>can not give them in the order in which they were born, but only the number
>of names: William, James, George, Abner, John, Aaron, Philip, Job, Joshua,
>Ashford, and Hugh. Not a one of the number had a double name that I ever
>heard of. They all married and settled within a radious of ten miles and
>all had families and with but one exception, large ones, and so far as I

>country from Ireland shortly after the war of 1776.

>My Father settled in one mile of the old homestead where he lived from1825

>I was born in Orange County, North Carolina, on the4th day of October

>I made a profession of religion and joined the Presbyterian Church at Union
>on the 16th of August 1846 and was publicly baptised by Rev. J.W. Strother
>of Brownsville, who was at that time pastor of that Church.
>
>On the 13th day of December 1854, I married Martha Hannah, daughter of John
>and Mary Williams. I then settled where I now live, two miles North West of
>Brownsville.
>
>In early life I was inclined to believe in the doctrine commonly known as
>Armenianism, but after studying the Bible as best I could I became a
>decided Calvinist. In Church government, I am a Presbyterian believing that
>to be the form of government adopted by the Apostles. I was first a Deacon
>in the Church, but in the year of 1869 I was elected and ordained a Ruling
>Elder in the Church at Brownsville, to which church I moved my membership
>shortly after I settled there.
>
>In early life I had some desire to be a politician and studied the
>teachings of Jefferson and Hamilton, they being the leaders of the two
>great parties that sprang up shortly after the formation of the government.
>I heartily adopted the doctrines of Jefferson and have been a Democrat all
>of my life. I loved the constitution of my country and was in favor of its
>being observed and obeyed according to what was known as a strict
>construction, which I regarded as essential to our prosperity and peace as
>a great confederacy of States, but when in 1860 I saw that nearly all of
>the Northern States had by their Legislatures, nullified the provision for
>the return of fugitive slaves and some of them had made it a felony for a
>man to even claim one within their borders; and further that time of them
>(Ohio and Penn.) had through their Governors refused to surrender on
>requisition of Governor Wishe of Va. some of the accomplices of John Brown
>in his murderous raid into Va. I came to the conclusion that we had better
>withdraw from the government and established one our own, especially as the
>party that approved of Browns raid, was soon to take possession of all
>parts of the government, so I was in favor of secession and voted for it. I
>believed that we would have war, but was confidant we would be able to
>sustain our intependence. I would have enlisted early that I did, but my
>health was such I could not leave home. I was suffering from an enlarged
>liver, which produced a distressing cough. My friends thought I was taking
>consumption, but early in 1864 fearing that the South would soon be
>overpowered, I volunteered and joined the 14th Tennessee Calvary, commanded
>at that time by Col. White.
>
>My family Physician, Dr. Sevier remonstrated with me and said that I would
>be in a hospital soon. He gave me a certificate as to my health, so that I
>I was not able to stand the service, it would enable me to get a discharge,
> but contrary to all expectations my health improved rapidly, so in a few
>months time it was restored so that I have been a healthy man every since.
>Our Regiment was in active service all year. I was in every fight that the
>Regiment was in, and whenever a call was made for men to perform any
>hazardous duty I was always one of the volunteers. On the 24th of September
>1864, I was wounded in the right fore arm at the taking of a fort on the
>Nashville and Decatur R.R. at a place called Sulphur Trestle in North
>Alabama. I was sent to a hospital at Lauderdale Springs, Mississippi. I was
>soon furoughed and came home, but as the leaders of my arm were served, it
>was several months before I was fit for duty, or able to be of any service
>as a soldier and by that time I saw that the South would have to submit, so
>I did not return to the command as it would only have been to be parolled.
>
>I submitted as best I could to the inevitable and have been as true and
>loyal to the government since I was to it before. I never felt that we were
>rebels, believing that we had the right to withdraw from the Federal
>Government when ever it failed to give protection to person of our
>guaranteed rights under the Constitution, this right having been reserved
>by some of the States when the Government was first founded. I was before
>the war a pro slavery man, but am now glad that it is forever abolished and
>at an end.
>
>There being on Chaplin in the Regiment to which I belonged, a man by the
>name of Coressett and myself agreed at the request of the good men of the
>Regiment to hold and conduct prayer meeting service whenever we could,
>which we did until I left when wounded. The men attended the services well
>and were always very attentive. I found it very profitable to my own
>spiritual interests and it also gave me many opportunities to do good that
>I otherwise would not have had. saw so much wickedness in camp that my soul
>was stired within that I seldom let an opportunity to reprove it pass
>uninimproved, and I was always treated with respect when I did so. I formed
>a very strong attachment for my co-laborer brother, Crossett, but have not
>seen him since I left the battlefield.
>
>I saw many things that amused me, even when under fire. I will give one
>instance.When General Forrester met the Federal General Smith at Oxford,
>Miss. the regiment to which I belonged was sent to the front and a line of
>battle was formed and a skirmish line was thrown forward for two or three
>hundred yards. I was one of the number and when the enemy advanced, as they
>soon did the batteries opened fire and as we were between the lines, but
>below them, the shells flew directly over our heads, making a very
>unpleasant sound as they passed. And to add to this the enemies
>sharp-shooters began to fire at us. The man on my left began to complain of
>being very sick. I told him that I was very hungry as I had not had any
>thing to eat for several days but green corn, for I could not eat the
>hard-tack that had been issued as it was badly spoiled. He told me that he
>had some biscuits in his haversack that I was welcome to as he never did
>expect to need them. I watched my chance and slipped over to him, he turned
>his haversack to me and I thrust my right hand in it and found three large,
>good flour biscuit. I at first thought I would be polite and leave him one
>at least, but my appetite over powered my regard for politeness, so I
>brought all three our with my hand, and then hastened back to my post and
>ate them as quickly as possible for fear I might loose them. Starkey, (for
>that was his name,) soon became very sick indeed and wanted to leave, but I
>told him that the moment he left his post or started back across the field
>that the enemies sharpshooters would bring him down. I laughed heartily
>when I thought what his condition would be that night, as it was late in
>the day and I knew he would not be able to get any thing more, at least
>before the next day. But his loss was my gain that time as the enemy soon
>fell back and Starkey was ordered into line, while I was ordered forward as
>one of the pickets for the night and a part of it was spent in skirmishing
>with the enemy and but for the contents of Starkey's haversack, I would
>have been in a bad fix.
>
>A few days after the foregoing incident, General Forrest seeing that he
>could not fight General Smith to advantage as the forces of the later
>greatly out numbered his,as General Smith had 10,000 infantry, 5,000
>Calvary and forty pieces of artilery, while he had only about 4,000
>calvary, took 21,000 picked troops and early in the night passed around
>Smith's right and dashed for Memphis. The regiment to which I belonged was
>taken, but as I was sick was left, but as soon as I was able to ride went
>to the front, as General Chalmers was left with the balance of the army in
>Smith's front to keep him from knowing that Forrest had left. I went to the
>7th Tennessee Cavalry and to a company that was from my own neighborhood,
>commanded by Captain Davis. I found them in line with the enemy immediately
>in front and momentarily expecting an engagement. I was feverish and
>suffering for water. I saw what I took to be a spring about 200 yards in
>front and about half way to where the enemy was. I told Captain Davis that
>I must have water and that I was going to the spring for it. He asked me If
>I did not see the enemy burning a mill just beyond the spring and if I went
>they would be certain to shoot me, but I was so very thirsty I determined
>to risk it, so mounting my horse I rode leisurely but keeping a sharp watch
>on the enemy. When I reached the spring I found it a strong one, running
>from under a little bluff over clear white sand. I dismounted quickly took
>down the gourd that was hanging by and drank until satisfied, then filling
>my canteen remounted my horse and taking the reins well in my hands rode
>slowly back to the lines. The enemy thinking the game was small, or more
>likely not wishing to bring on a skirmish did not fire at me, for which I
>was very thankful. I rode up to Captain Davis and said to him, I have some
>of the coldest and best water I ever drank and offered it to him and he
>drank heartily.

Notes for ALPHONZO CLAY MURRAY:
Mr. Daniel M. WALKER Passes Away. At 2 o'clock Sunday night Mr. Daniel M. Walker passed away at his home here. For several years he had been in declining health from a tubercular trouble and at two different times had spent several months in the Southwest seeking relief, but no permanent improvement came. While his friends knew he was very feeble in health, yet they were shocked when the end came. The funeral was conducted from the Presbyterian church, of which he was a member, at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. At the request of the deceased, Dr. T. M. McConnell, the pastor, was assisted by Dr. E. C. MURRAY, his former pastor, and Dr. W. S. Long, his former teacher. The interment was in Linwood Cemetery where the burial services were conducted by Knights of Pythias of which Mr. Walker was a member. The following members of the order acted as pall-bearers: Messrs. McBride HOLT, H. W. Scott, Jas. S. COOK, J. L. Scott. Jr., Charles P. Harden, Charles A. Scott, A. K. Hardee and J. D. Kernodle. Mr. Walker was a son of the late Robert L. Walker. He was born July 8, 1874, and is survived by his widow and two children, Doake and Lelia, his mother, five brothers and one sister. He was a most highly esteemed citizen and christian gentleman and his friends wherever he was known will regret to hear of his death. (October 18, 1917)

"GILBERT STRAYHORN, a devout Presbyterian, visited the HAWFIELDS area in 1740.The following year he returned, bringing with him the first group of SCOTCH-IRISH settlers.These included members of the CRAIG, KIRKLAND and FREELAND families.These families originally met for worship at a BRUSH ARBOR south of MEBANE, but by 1755 they had constructed a wooden church.Hawfields Presbyterian Church (the present structure of which dates to 1852) thus became the first Presbyterian Church in the county.It was soon followed by CROSS ROADS Presbyterian Church, located in northern Alamance County and organized in 1783.Cross Roads Church is known as the birthplace of the "GREAT AWAKENING," an evangelical movement which swept the South in the early 1800s.Located on a portion of the old MURRAY PLANTATION, the church received national recognition in 1975 because of its association with ALEX HALEY's ROOTS sage."

905-09
In May of 1906, a group of sixty-nine people petitioned Orange Presbytery to authorize the organization of the Walker Avenue Presbyterian Church. A building committee made up of members of First Presbyterian and Westminster Presbyterian met with instructions “to build a church to cost about $2,500 to serve the college community.” A wooden structure was completed in 1906 at a cost of $4,800. The stained glass windows were made by Tiffany. They reflect the theme, “I am the vine, you are the branches.” The newly organized church extended a call to the REVEREND R. MURPHY WILLIAMS, who was installed in September of that year. In 1909, the church was renamed Presbyterian Church of the Covenant. Rev. Williams coined the phrase “A Church That Serves” and urged the congregation to see itself as servants of God within the College Hill neighborhood and the community of Greensboro.

CEMETERY SURVEY
This cemetery survey includes burials prior to 1971. A few after that date have been added, but not all. The transcription was compiled by the Bethel Youth Fellowship in 1971, under the leadership of Jerry S. Nix.
The oldest grave found in this cemetery is that of Tn. C. Smith, who died in 1821 at the age of 13. Many of the markings on the stones can no longer be read. Fifty-three graves are marked only by field stones. The compilation also includes information taken from an early survey (1938) which includes names for which there are no longer stones. Several dates on the survey appear to be in obvious error and are noted. If the dates on the survey do not seem reasonable, the actual tombstone information should be verified by the researcher.
Many thanks to the Rev. Ray Mims, the present pastor at Bethel, for granting permission to reproduce this information on this site.
NOTE: The Bethel Cemetery is divided into four sections. Graves are listed by surname within each section. No "natural" order listing is available at this time.
SECTION ONE
Note: Located behind Education Building to first drive. There are also three unmarked graves in this section.

I called my Aunts, Jo Rice Hutchings, and Reba Donelson Hutchings; Aunt
Reba told me that Pauleen Shaw Hutchings' (I have been spelling her name
wrong, found this out when I looked at the tombstone picture) father's
name was Jim Shaw, that's all she could remember, she said Uncle Willard
and Aunt Pauleen lived in Cassville (White Co.). I have been trying to
find Jim Shaw in the censuses but haven't been successful so far, have
been looking in DeKalb Co., maybe her parents moved to another county
after she married?

Community Stores
More than just retail outlets, community stores once served as social centers, post offices, election places, saloons, and much more. You have probably either heard about or experienced neighbors sitting around the pot-bellied stove, with sawdust or peanut hulls on the floor, and discussing the issues of the day. The store owner often would provide all that a person (usually a farmer) needed that could not be produced from the land, and frequently on credit terms.
Historical Sketch
Here is an excellent description of these North Carolina stores from Piedmont Plantation by Jean Bradley Anderson (1985) at page four:
General stores in the backcountry were not necessarily to be found in towns; they were quite as likely to be located at important crossroads on main-travelled roads. They stocked everything a farmer might want for his farm, house, and family--from tools, hardware, harness, and lumber, to molasses, medicine, cloth goods, and coffins. The customers could pay up their accounts in cash if they had any, but were more likely to pay in raw materials--tobacco, wheat, corn, feathers, tallow, or beeswax--products which the merchant in turn could sell at his store or transport to his factor as payment on account. . . .
With the arrival of the automobile, these stores became the first gasoline filling and general automotive service stations, and some survive today. Unfortunately, many have been abandoned and demolished as road and shopping patterns changed.
The purpose of this section is to list the community stores of Caswell County and to explore their history. A few stores survive and are poignant reminders of the past.
