INTRODUCTIONAND FOREWORD
This is the first reunion as such of the descendants of JohnHenry and Sarah May Barwick. For somethis reunion will be a trek back into the past to revisit a time when life wasboth happy and sad, simple but also complex, slow moving while yet an era sofast in transition that it only seems like yesterday that Mama and Granddaddywere celebrating their Golden wedding anniversary (around 1941). Some can still see Mama sitting on the“veranda” in the corner where there was always a breeze blowing and it wasnever too hot; where in her gentle way she would redirect the mischievous waysof her children and grandchildren without a harsh word; where she would fretover Mr. John's ways and shortcomings without his ever knowing it; and whereshe would silently grieve his death that preceded her's by fifteen years -which at times seemed like an eternity to her in her longing to be with him inhis final resting place. Others, have come to the reunion to remember the timesof special joy when all the family came together to celebrate Christmas,birthdays, anniversaries, and even final farewells. Many still remember their Golden Wedding Anniversary where MissMay and John were at the pinnacle of their life. That picture of Joe Debnam and Becky Keel in the swing on thefront porch has always stuck in many of our memories; the times when John Mooretook charge and installed running water and moved the out house inside -something for which we would all be eternally thankful. There were too manyhappy times to count, and there were also an ample number of sad times. We can still remember Mama tell about hersister Cassie that died in the front room of this old house after having herarm cut off in the cotton gin that was out front - how grandpa Coward camerunning in the house with the child in his arms and blood all over his whiteshirt and how she died from lack of medical attention. Mama was ten at the time(1879); can you imagine the impression this must have left in her heart. Then there was the trying time when Mr. Johnhad a paralyzing stroke while he was in his early fifties, just after he andSam had formed a partnership to revive the Coward Farm from bankruptcy. I'msure this was a test of Mama's faith to see her husband struck down in hisprime. Of course, we all know that hisdetermination and the use of home remedies for several years resulted in hisgreat recovery. His residual paralysiswas only a minor hindrance to him till his death in 1948. For those of us that can remember, we havean obligation to pass the legacy on to our posterity in our own ways.
One reason many have come today is to see where it allstarted and to meet strangers that we have heard about, but never met. For some it will be the establishment offirst-time and hopefully lasting family ties and for the rest it will be onemore opportunity to reminisce and have fun with those that have not seen eachother for years.
In keeping with the hope and spirit of kindling renewed andlasting ties, a brief history and genealogy of the Barwick and Coward familiesis presented in this document. The author encourages you to read carefully andoffer corrections, criticisms, new births, marriages, and deaths in order thatperiodic updates can be made to the family histroy data base and this report.
Most of our ancestors came from one of North Carolina's"lost" counties, Dobbs County. Not only does the county no longer exist, most of the records pertainingto the county and its people have been destroyed in several disastrouscourthouse fires. These fires were agreat tragedy to the area because these records which dated from as early as1730 pertained to the present counties of Greene, Wayne, Lenoir and Jones witha great number of records concerning land and people in Pitt, Wilson, Cravenand Johnston Counties. Thus, those ofus doing research into the history and genealogy of this area are faced with agreat vacuum which unless one discovers some of these records in some lostcourthouse file or musty attic trunk, we have to do a lot of inferential workbased usually on secondary sources to establish solid relationships between ourfamily lines.
During my research for the Barwick Family of Dobbs County, Ialso accumulated data on the family ofSarah May Coward Barwick, my father's (Samuel Coward Barwick) mother. My visits to theNorth Carolina Department of Archives and History have uncovered a number of sources of information on the Cowardfamilies. Most of these books or publicationstrace the migration of the Coward(t) families into the South and states west ofNorth Carolina with a good number of these families having their origins fromthe Dobbs County Cowards of the early to mid 1700's. Joseph A. Cowart [1972],Eleazer P. Scarborough [1984], Kyser Cowart Ptomey [1984], Dr. Samuel Omar Barwick [1906], Robert D.Barwick [1993] and Gladys Barwick Weeks [1988] [1] represent published sourcesof Coward and/or Barwick genealogies. The sources of much of the data came from unpublished reports, files,etc. include: Mrs. Anne Coward Salter, Martha Scarborough Brooks, and JesseVaughan - all listed in the Bibliography. In developing my own lines, I have relied heavily on these publicationsin filling the gaps caused by the courthouse fires.
I am indebted to many relatives and friends for help and theNorth Carolina Department of Archives and History for providing data, recordsand other documents essential to the development of this document.
OURENGLISH ROOTS AND COLONIAL ANCESTORS
The Barwicks and Cowards have strong ancestorial ties toEngland. In Figure 1 the earlygenerations are displayed for the direct family lines to John Henry Barwick andSarah May Coward. A brief discussion ofour English and Colonial roots follows.

Barwicks
The following account comes from Robert D.Barwick's 1993 manuscript of the Barwick's of Florida and the SoutheasternU.S. Figure 1 shows the line of nineBarwick generations from John Barwick I (1696-1712) to John Henry Barwick. Robert's account follows:
"The first mention of any person namedBarwick other than John occurs in Maryland records in the very early eighteenthcentury. Rebecca, believed to be John'sdaughter, married Thomas Olridge in Maryland in 1702. Of even more interest is a witness on a power of attorney ofWilliam Coursey in Talbot County in 1701. A man named Edward "Bonwicke" is reported to have witnessedthe document. William Coursey was thebrother of Henry Coursey, the man to whom John was a servant from 1664 until1671. It is likely that Edward Bonwickewas Edward Barwick and that a transcriber misread the script and mistook on"ar" for "on"--an easy mistake in old handwriting.
John Barwick I died in 1712. His son John II is known to have engaged inland transactions after his death. JohnBarwick II sold 157 acres of Normanton in 1717. The land in this case was a portion of the property on the WyeRiver purchased by John I and William Hatfield in 1679. Later records show John,Edward, and William as related. Byexamination of recorded events in Maryland several writers have concluded thatJohn Barwick I had at least four children, John II, William, Edward, andRebecca. Rebecca probably married andgave up the Barwick name thus making the task of tracing her activities verydifficult.
John Barwick II married a woman named Sarahand remained in Maryland. Little isknown of his life except that he continued to engage in land transactionsindicating that he was likely a "planter". His will dated in April, 1736 in Talbot County, left his propertyto his wife, Sarah, and his sons, James and John. The will was recorded in June of the same year indicating thatJohn died between April and June, 1736. James received the bulk of the estate and was said to be the youngestson. John was left a paltry and likelysarcastic one shilling. Evidently JohnIII had not stood well in his father's eyes.
John Barwick III remained in Talbot Countyand died there in 1755 or 1756. hemarried Rebecca Oldfield, the daughter of Harry Oldfield and Sarah BarberOldfield. An inventory, identifying hiswife as Rebecca Barnett (by then remarried) was conducted on 20 February 1756. A final distribution of the estate was madelater in 1756. The latter documentidentifies John's children as William, Mary, Rebecca, Ann, and John. William, here, is William Barwick Sr.. whomigrated to North Carolina and became our ancestor."
William Sr., Joshua (John), Isaac, CravenTull and John Henry Barwick are all discussed in a latter section.
RETURN TO TABLE OF CONTENTS
Cowards
The Coward families in America are of English ancestry. Thename is spelled three different ways by different branches of the family:Cowhered, Coward, and Cowart. Ptomey [1984] [1984] indicates in the Preface of hisbook, that: " . . . the Coward name appears in early English records andis thought by many a derivative of the name Cowherd, which designated theoccupation of the family. The will ofone William Coward, Sergeant-at-Law, of the city of Wells, in the county ofSomersett, England, dated March 5, 1704, is recorded in the Records Office,Taunton (Somersett) England. Williamwas survived by his widow Lady Mohun and sons William and James. Record books at the Local History Library inTaunton Castle, Taunton, England, contain much information about numerousCoward Families in the sixteenth century and earlier who were wealthy and heldEnglish Titles."
Eleazer P. Scarborough [1984] and Joe A. Cowart [1972] both establish 1600 Englandties. The line shown in Figure 1 fromRobert Cowart (171) to William Coward II (3250) comes from Joe A. Cowart. (The number in theparenthesis is the "reference identification number" or RIN numberuse frequently throughout this report.) Scarborough's account differs only slightly from Joe A. Cowart's.
As Kathi Cowart [no date] indicates: " . . . theresearch of Joe A. Cowart reveals that over 95% of allthe present Cowherd-Coward-Cowart families now in the Southern United Statesoriginate from three - apparently unrelated - men:
1. James (2607) of Rappahannock County,Virginia, through his son William III (2503). This is the oldest, largest and most widespread Coward familylines in the U.S. which is located primarily in eastern N.C., all of S.C.,Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas.
2. James of Rutherford County, N. C. - thesecond main southern family line commences before 1785 in Rutherford County, N.C. and spreads in southwestern N. C. (Buncombe, Haywood, Jackson and Claycounties) and over into northwestern Georgia (Murray, Gilmer, Pickens,Cherokee, Rabun, Towns, and Milton (now Fulton) counties).
3. John Coward, Revolutionary soldier, whowas born in New Jersey but settled in Jefferson County Georgia after theRevolutionary War.
The several Northern U.S. lines originate with RichardCoward in Talbot County, Md. , and James Coward of Dorchester County, Md., andwith Hugh Coward of Monmouth County, N.J. of which county John Coward ofJefferson County, Georgia, is a descendant. The northern lines, and the Rutherford County, N.C., southern line, tendto retain the original name Coward while the other southern lines generallychanged to Cowart soon after the Revolutionary War. The Virginia and Kentucky lines of 1. James used the older form of the same name -Cowherd."
Was the first James mentioned above the first to come to North Carolina? Using an unknown source provided to me byAnne Coward Salter [1993-94], of Marshallburg, North Carolina, who received this from her cousin, I haveformed a slightly different conclusion as to whom the line of Eastern NorthCarolina or Dobbs County Cowards emminate. My argument follows.
Even though the date and authorship of thissource isn’t known, it appears to be a later version of the Joe Cowart work publishedin 1972, perhaps done by his daughter,Kathi Cowart. I have added RIN numbers to each name to help keep theindividuals with the same first name from being confused. The account with my commentary follows:
"Robert Cowart (171) of WinterbourneGunner, lived in Yorkshire and had one son named John.
John Coward (3242) was in Yorkshire in1540. He married Catherine Leigh ofWells. It is thought that this is whenthe Coward family went to Wells, England.
Thomas Coward (3245) is the son of JohnCoward (3242) of Wells. He married MaryWatkins.
William Coward I (3247) is son of Thomasborn 1601 who died in Wells. Williammarried Catherine___.
William Coward II (3250) was called Sir William of Lincoln'sInn. He was born in 1634 and died April8, 1705. He married Bridget daughter ofSir Thomas Hall of Bradford in Wiltshire. Sir William (3250) represented Wells in the English Parliment. He was a merchant and had interest inAmerica. Bridget Coward died March 22,1662 and Sir William II (3250) married as his second wife Phillipa, daughter ofAuther Anneslsey, Earl of Anglesey. William Coward III (2503) was a child by his first wife, other childrenif any not known."
Joe Cowart's 1972 study indicates thatWilliam III (2503) was the son of James (2607) (b aft 1662) and MaryCollidge. E. P. Scarborough agrees, butindicates that William II's (3250) first wife was Bridgett Hall (d. 1662) andthey had several children prior to her death, one being William III (b. bfr1662). The estimated years of birth of James (2607) and William III (2503) weretoo close together for James to be the father of William III. Thus I assume[2]that this James (2607) and William III (1503) were step brothers-contrary tothe Cowart and Scarborough accounts.
Cowart and Scarborough further indicate thatWilliam III (2503),"son of James (2607)", had two sons- John (b. c.1690) (2497) and James (b. c. 1700 - d.c. 1742)(2505). Since James (2607) wasborn after 1662 it’s hard to perceive that he was the father of William III(2503) who was the father of John (2497). Therefore, it is assumed that WilliamIII (2503), John's (2497) father, was not the son of James (2607), but rather,his step brother.
The account of our unknown author continues:
"William Coward III, born --- died 1792(I assume this to be 1729). William wasa Colonel in the British Army and also was a member of Parliament representingthe city of Wells. William III had 2children (known) one John Coward (2497) whose wife was Elizabeth and one namedJames (2505).
John Coward (2497), born --- died 1737 leftwill leaving his property to 4 children and his wife Elizabeth. Children were John (2500), William IV(2517), Edward I (2462) and Benjamin (2501).
James Coward (2505), born -- died 1780-90,his wife unknown, had one child, John Coward who moved to Williamsburg Districtof South Carolina. John Coward's willis in the Archieves Building at the University of South Carolina."
This author goes on to indicate -- " .. . that John Coward (2497) came to America with his father, William III(2503). William III was granted a largetract of land in the Albermarle Sound area of North Carolina, but which in thelatter 1600's was considered a part of the Colony of Virginia. The property became a part of Chowan County,NC then in 1722 in Bertie County,NC, when it was formed out ofChowan. The large plantation there wasoperated by Sir William III (2503) until his death April 5, 1705. John (2497) was about seven years old whenthe family emigrated from England . . . "
"John Coward's (2497) will written in1733, was filed for probate in Chowan County March 28, 1737, and was probatedAugust term of court, 1737. Hebequeathed his plantation to " . . . my sons William (2517) and John(2500)" subject to his wife's use for her lifetime; and gave the remainderof the estate to his wife Elizabeth, son Edward I (2462) and the child his wifewas then pregnant with, which child after birth was named Benjamin . . . "
Cowart, Scarborough, and Ptomey generallyagree that from John (2497) came most of the Cowards of Eastern North Carolina,South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. The Cowards of Dobbs County issued fromEdward I (2462), Edward II (2461), Edward III (2085), Samuel H. Coward (46),and Albert G. Coward (19).

BARWICK/COWARD PEDIGREE
Genealogies would be incomplete without pedigreecharts. Webster's Dictionary givessynonyms such as progeny, brood, family, lineage, breed, etc. for the word"pedigree". True"blue-blood" pedigrees trace family lines to very important people,and it’s generally a source of much pride for such families. The Barwick/Coward pedigree has its veryimportant people; too many to call to attention here other than the subjects ofthis report; i.e., John Henry Barwick and Sarah May Coward.
The pedigree chart to follow starts with the children ofJohn and Sarah and lists all known parents that are in the direct familyline. There are a total of 14generations identified from these children to the oldest ancestor, RobertCowart. The number scheme beside eachancestor is part of the nomenclature used in such charts; e.g. starting withJohn as 2, his father, Craven Tull, is 4; Craven's father is 8 and so on. The number following the person's name isthe reference identification number used in the genealogy data base and has noparticular signifance other than providing an unique identifier for eachperson. Other information includesbirth and death dates, dates of marriage, places of birth and death whereavailable. This chart contains a wealth of information and should be studiedvery carefully.

THE BARWICKS AND COWARDS OF DOBBS COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
The intent of this section is to give basicinformation pertaining to the Barwick and Coward lines that migrated to DobbsCounty in the late 1600's and early 1700's. For example, the first Barwick thought to have come to Dobbs County wasWilliam Sr., while the first Coward to locate here was William Coward III. An account of each of these ancestors isgiven up through and including John H. Barwick and Sarah M. Coward. In reading this section, the reader willfind it useful to refer to Figure 1 and the pedigree chart in the priorchapter.
The section following this one gives someinteresting history of the locality where the Barwick-Cowards located; i.e.Contentnea Neck Township of Lenoir (Dobbs) County, North Carolina and theGrifton, Bethel, and Tick Bite areas.
RETURN TO TABLE OF CONTENTS
William Barwick Sr.(1730-1790) & Joshua (John) Barwick (b. 1753 - After 1800)
Informationfor William Barwick Sr., JoshuaBarwick. and his immediate descendants comes primarily from Lenoir CountyHeritage Foundation Publication [c. 1977, p145]. The remaining descendants come from a combination of sourcesincluding The Tull/Barwick Family Bible (currently in the possession of Allen JBarwick), and various decenial Census(1790 through 1880).
Interestingquotations from page 145 of the Heritage Foundation publication on LenoirCounty gives information fundamental to the establishment of William BarwickSr. as probably the first Barwick in Lenoir County in the mid to late 1700's. These quotations by Gladys B. Weeks [1988]follow:
"WilliamBarwick came from Caroline County, Maryland and took up a patent of land for168 acres on the north side of the Neuse River and the west side of FallingCreek and lying on the said Creek in Dobbs County, N.C.
Inthe Old Grantee Index found in the N.C. Archives in Raleigh, William Barwickbought from William Aylor land on Falling Creek in 1769. This land had been patented to William Aylorin 1768, (An earlier deed in The NorthCarolina Archives, not referenced here, but copy in the possession of Allen J.Barwick, indicates that William Barwick purchased 90 acres of land from JohnCotton in 1766. A transcript of thisdeed follows on another page.)
Inthe 1769 Tax List for Dobbs County, N.C., we find William Barwick and sonJoshua; and in 1776, William Barwickdeeded land to William Barwick Jr. and to John Barwick of Dobbs County N.C.
In the1782 Tax List for Dobbs County we find William Barwick Sr. , Joshua Barwick andMenoah Barwick. William Barwick Sr.does not appear in the 1800 Census for Lenoir County, but Joshua and Menoah arelisted as living in the County at that time.[3]
CaptainKennedy's Company of Militia of Dobbs County lists William Barwick Jr., JoshuaBarwick, William Barwick and John Barwick (Joshua?). The 1790 Census for Dobbs County does not list William BarwickSr., but does show a John Barwick and a Margaret Barwick.
Joshua,son of William Barwick, died in Lenoir County after 1800. He was shown in the 1800 Census with six infamily. He was born in Maryland about1753 and came to Dobbs County, North Carolina with his father in 1768.
Itis not known whom Joshua married, but according to the Tull-Barwick Bible,Joshua had among other children, Isaac Barwick born about 1789 and JoshuaBarwick Jr. born about 1787.
JoshuaJr. son of Joshua (John) Barwick, wasborn 1787 in Lenoir County and died 17 April 1855. He married, about 1810 or 1811, Sarah Winifred Sutton, born about1787 and died 11 July 1871 in Lenoir County .”

IsaacBarwick (32) (1789-1854)
Isaac Barwick, the second male son in thefamily of Joshua (John) Barwick (b. 1753) was born in 1789, a few years afterthe Revolutionary War was over. His older brother, Joshua Barwick Jr. (b.1787), was the ancestor of many of the Barwicks of Wayne and Duplin Counties,and his genealogy has been compiled by Gladys Barwick Weeks [1988]of Goldsboroin her 1988 Genealogical History of the Family Of Barwick. Isaac 's firstwife was Sally Sarah Tull (b. 1789). There were ten children - the youngest being Craven Tull Barwick (b.1833). After Sarah's death in 1845 hemarried Louisa Baker (b. 1825). Therewere at least three children by this second marriage; i.e. William Manoah (b.1846), Sally A. (b. 1848), and Julia (b. 1850).
According to the 1810 Census of LenoirCounty, Isaac Barwick lived in the vicinity of Charles Tull, his father inlaw. His wife, Sally, was the eighth ofeleven children born to Charles and Sarah Hardy Tull. Charles Tull's will, dated May 11, 1837, lists Isaac Barwick asexecutor indicating a "favored son" relationship between Charles andIsaac. The Charles Tull home was"between the Neuse River and Briary Branch", near what is now thevicinity of Lenoir Memorial Hospital in Kinston. Apparently, Isaac was still living in the same area in the 1830’sand 1840's since the Census for these two decades show some of his neighbors as J. Kilpatrick, W. Lovick, R. Moore,Parrot, Walter Dunn, J. Rouse, M. Lofton, and C. Tull. By 1850, however, Isaac must have moved tothe Edwards Bridge area since the 1850 Census shows him living in theContentnea Neck Township where some of his neighbors included: Lewis Kilpatrick,Eliza Jones, Wilson Tilghman[4],Elijah Pittman, Edmond Brooks[5]and Samuel Coward (who lived in Tick Bite).
Isaac died in 1854 at the age of 65 leavinghis wife Lousia and 4 children living in the household. Lousia Baker Barwick later married WilliamDupree sometime before 1860 since the 1860 Census shows her living in theKinston Township with bonded children Menoah Barwick (age 14) Sarah A. Barwick(age 12), Julia Barwick (age 8) and Malvina Barwick (age 5). (See the Isaac Barwick Descendancy Chart)
CravenTull Barwick (10) (1833-1885)
The Tull-Barwick Bible shows that CravenTull Barwick was born July 7, 1833 and died November 12, 1885. He was the 10th child of Isaac and SallyBarwick and the father of John Henry Barwick (b. 1869). Craven Tull marriedtwice; his first wife was Ann Tilghman who was born in 1840 and died May 30, 1864. As we will see later, Craven Tull was a prisoner of war in the federalprison camp at Point Lookout, Maryland from October, 1863 till February,1865. Thus, we see that his first wifedied while he was still captured. Weknow not the circumstances of her death, but can only imagine the heartbreakinvolved during this tragic time in their lives.
Craven Tull Barwick married his second wife,Nancy Ann Brooks (1843-1919), in 1868. She was the daughter of Edmon Brooks (b. 1812) and Mary A. Pittman (b.1816) (the daughter of Elijah Vail Pittman). An interesting aside is that Craven Tull Barwick and Edward Jones Brooks(b. 1843) were in Point Lookout at the same time and returned home about thesame time. In 1869, Edward J. Brooks married Martha (Patty) Brooks his thirdcousin (kissing cousins), Nancy Ann Brook's younger sister. Both Craven Tulland Edward J. Brooks had neighboring farms in the Edwards Bridge Community ofContentnea Neck Township. Eugene ClydeBrooks (1871-1948) was the second child born to Edward and Martha Brooks, andwas the first cousin of John Henry Barwick. Eugene Clyde Brooks was the President of North Carolina State Collegefrom 1923 to 1934.
Craven Tull's death in 1885 at age 52 was somewhatpremature, and one can only speculate as to whether his 2-year stay in PointLookout shortened his life. In June of1885 he issued his will and later made a codicil to it in October, 1885 toallow Nancy to sell the Barney Phillips land if needed to cover his debts. This will and codicil was probated November26, 1885 and accompanies this report. He was buried on the old Barwick Farm in the Edwards Bridge community nowowned by Mr. Luther Pittman - a descendant of E. J. Pittman.
Another interesting account of an importanttime span in Craven Tull Barwick's lifeis the Civil War Diary that follows his last will and testament.

JohnHenry Barwick (1) (1869-1948)
The 1906 Industrial Edition of the KinstonFree Press describes John as: “One of the leading citizens of the county is J.H. Barwick, of Contentnea Neck. He wasborn in that township one mile south of his present home, October 9, 1869.(This was in the vicinity of the current Craven Brooks and Luther Pittmanfarms.) His parents were Craven TullBarwick and Nancy Ann, daughter of Edward[7]and Mary Brooks. Mr. Barwick's father [8]wasa Master Mason and was Worshipful Master of Bethel lodge at the time of hisdeath in 1885.
John Henry Barwick attended Bethel Academyand was preparing to go to college at the time of his father's death. Circumstances then compelled a change ofplans. He went to farming and has beena farmer all his life with the exception of one year, which he spent in thesawmill business. He now owns 617 acresof land with 250 cleared and under cultivation. He has an excellent range forhogs and raises abut 150 or 200 for market each year.
Mr. Barwick has always been a staunchDemocrat, and received a large vote for Register of Deeds at the last primary.(He was elected Register of Deeds for Lenoir County in 1907, the approximatetime the Barwick family moved to Kinston.) He is a Mason, a member of the Christian Church, and a member of thetownship school committee, of which he is secretary. He is enthusiastic in his support of schools, considering themessential to the healthy material and social development of any community.
Mr. Barwick's brothers are Joseph R., amerchant of Ayden, and Allen J., superintendent of schools of Albany, Ga. His sisters are Mrs. Fred (Mary Ada) Brooks,of Kinston, Mrs. Susan (Susan Winifred) Griffin of Goldsboro, Miss Jennie(Jennie Brooks Harper) a teacher in the public schools, Miss Nancy (NancyLouise), stenographer and typewriter for Einstein Bros. Kinston, and MissMaggie (Magnolia Willis), who attends the State Normal and Industrial atGreensboro. Mr. Barwick married MissMay, daughter of A.G. and Nancy Stanley Coward. The children are Ruth, Mary Ethel, Sam, Rodney, Rachel, and SusanWinifred (and Eugene Tull born 7 September 1906).”
John Barwick wasa proud and determined man. He was veryenterprising as illustrated by his diverse farming and business practices. He farmed a variety of crops on the Tick Bitefarm including tobacco, corn, cotton, and truck crops such as watermelons,strawberries, etc. John Davis,granddaddy’s protégé and confidant, summarized all of these traits in hisinterview with me in 1988: “Mr. Barwicktook me in when I was just a boy (around 1919 when John Davis was about 10years old) and offered to give me work any time I needed it. He taught me to farm just about any crop youcan imagine as well as how to butcher and cut beef. We butchered billy goat and sold it for prime cuts of beef duringthe depression days. Most of the folkswere glad to get it and couldn’t tell the difference.” Minnie Bell Davis, John Davis’ wife, tells adifferent story, however: “I let thecat out of the bag one Sunday at church when cousin Bessie said that she hadsome of the best beef stew she had ever had that John and Mr. Barwick had soldher yesterday. When I told her it wasbilly goat, she nearly threw up.”
In addition to truck farming and selling“prime cuts of beef”, Granddady wasalso an innovative “medicine-man.” Mr.J. D. Hood, a Kinston pharmacists, patented a medication used to fightstrep-type infections, acne, etc. The primary ingredient for this salve camefrom the altar tree, commonly found in the low ground areas of eastern NorthCarolina. Granddaddy, Sam, my father,and John Davis were the only people that knew the recipe for cooking andextracting alter tea from the leaves and tags that grew on these trees, andthey had a contract with Mr. Hood to provide him with the essental element ofhis patented medicine. This arrangementwas passed down from father to son until father, son and Mr. Hood all passedaway. Often, Sam would mix up a brew for family consumption without goingthrough Mr. Hood to get it. Alter teawas second only to cod-liver oil as one of the worst remedies I have ever hadto suffer through. I don’t know whichwas worse, the affliction or the alter tea cure. But, who was I to challenge years of wisdom and success in thehome remedy business!
John Henry’ determination allowed him toovercome the series of strokes he had that started in 1928. While the strokes ultimately resulted inpartial paralysis, his persistent self rehabilitation and home remedies kepthim from being completely bed-ridden. John Davis relayed the following humorous account to me: “Mr. Barwick was a very proud and determinedman that was dead set on getting over his strokes by his own will power andpersistence. One of his routines was tobe buried up to his chin in the warm sand in front of the house in the pecanorchard near the mail box. Each day Iwould dig the hole and help him get in it and then cover him up to stay therein the cool of the day. One day I wentdown to the low grounds to cut some wood and forgot Mr. John. Well, when I came back, Mr. Barwick was asred as a beet and fit to be tied. Itwasn’t too long afterwards that he wasable to get around quite well without my help.”
Rachel Keel[9]also tells an interesting account of John Henry’s pride. “When your uncle Gene (Eugene Tull Barwick,born 1906) finally graduated from N.C. State College in the early 1930’s, thePresident of the College, Dr. Eugene Clyde Brooks, (Granddaddy’s cousin andnext door neighbor during their childhood days), wrote John expressing as howhe should be very proud of his son (even though it did take 5-6 years for himto graduate) for accomplishing this great milestone in his career, and remindedhim that they expected him to be present on graduation day. Well, Father found time to go to Gene’s graduation. But, to all of our horrors, Father came backas mad as a wet stetting hen! Beingthat he was on a first-name basis with Dr. Brooks and, after all, it was hisson that was graduating, he automatically assumed that this was his goldenopportunity to sit on the stage on this grand occasion. Of course, Father had to sit in the audience with the rest of the parents, thus,the reason for his great consternation.”
John died August 14, 1948. The announcement in the Kinston Daily FreePress Page 1, August 16, 1948 and burial announcement in the "SectionalNews" section of the Kinston Daily Free Press, p10 August 18, 1948 follow:

WilliamCoward III (2503) (1670 - 1728)
Analyses of several sources indicate thatWilliam Coward III lived in Chowan Precinct which later became Bertie County,N.C. He was a land owner, bought andsold land, served on juries, and witnessed numerous documents. The evidence indicates he was prominent in the community. The inventory of his estate included cooperstools, (a cooper was one who made or repaired wooden casks or tubs). William III had a trade and in addition wasprobably a farmer. He died in 1728leaving no will. We do not have an authentic list of the children of Williamand Mary Coward. But, we do know thathe had a son named John (2497) and one named James(2505). He could have had a daughter named Marthaalso. (See Ptomey [1984], p. 11, andScarborough [1984] for numerous references to deed transfers, wills, etc.)

JohnCoward (2497) (c. 1693-1737)
The will of John Coward, dated March 28,1737, is listed in the Will Book, NCDepartment of Archives and History, Raleigh, NC. The will names his wifeElizabeth, three sons, William IV (2517), John (2500), and Edward (2462), andone unborn child (Benjamin (2501)). According to Ptomey, p. 6, 13,
"The will proved in the Augustterm of the Bertie Court, 1737, named Joseph Wimberly executor of the estate.(photocopy of the will sent to Ptomey by Margaret Cowart, Huntsville,Alabama). On the date of this will,March 28, 1737, John also executed a deed for 250 acres of land to JosephWimberly. Deed Book E. p. 160, Register of Deeds, Bertie County."
See Ptomey [1984] (p. 3-6) for extensivelist of other land transactions, etc. related to John Coward (2497).
There is some confusion as to whether John'swife was Elizabeth Griffin or Elizabeth Wimberly. Documentation in favor of Griffin includes:
Will of Martin Griffin, dated June3, 1718, probated October 3, 1718. Sons Edward, John, and William, son Martin,daughters Sarah and Elizabeth: wife Elizabeth, executrix. Hathaway, The NC Register, Vol. II. No. 1. p. 46.
Arguments in favor of Wimberly:
On March 22, 1750/51, JosephWimberly and Elizabeth Coward witnessed a deed in Bertie County which confirmsthe long association of Elizabeth Coward and John Wimberly. DeedBook C, p. 374. Register of Deeds, Bertie County (Ptomey, p. 14)

EdwardCoward I (2462) (1719-1780)
Edward Coward I (2462) is important to this research because he wasa patriarch for most of Eastern North Carolina Cowards and many of the otherlines in the Southern United States. Both Kyser Ptomey and Joe A. Coward(t) have done considerableresearch to establish the Edward I lines. Ptomey and Joe Cowart are descendants of Ezekiel (2669), one of nine ofEdward's I children, and have both established Edward's relation to William III(2503) as grandson, to John (2497) as father, andbrother to William IV (2517), John (2500) and Benjamin (2501). Some of Ptomey's extensive notes arerepeated here to help further document and establish his ties with easternNorth Carolina and Dobbs County and his relationship to so many Cowardlines. The Ptomey notes follow:
"The will of John Coward, datedMarch 28, 1737, names his wife Elizabeth, three sons, William, John, andEdward, and one unborn child (Benjamin) and was proved in the August term ofthe Bertie Court, 1737." (p. 13)
From other data and John Coward's will in1737, Ptomey concludes that Edward I was born c. 1719. Additionally, he feels that the deed, JamesRoberts to Edward Coward, 1754 (property in Johnston County became Dobbs Countyin 1758) implies that James Roberts may have been the father-in-law of EdwardI. (p. 37, 39)
". . . nine sons of Edward I;i.e. Edward II, Ezekiel, James, Needham, Zachariah, Nathaniel, Ephraim, Lewis,and Cullen. . . From the 1790 U.S. Census of NC and 1790 U.S. Census of SC, Ifound Edward I had five sons married: Edward II, James, Needham, Ezekiel, andLewis and total of thirty three [grand] children." (p. 44)
"On April 2, 1764, EdwardCoward I was given authority for a patent of 200 acres of land in Dobbs Countya little below the Great Meadow on Polecat Branch in Dobbs County, NC. Edward Coward, Jr., was a chainbearer. The record does not state whether or notEdward I perfected this patent, but it does establish Edward's residency inDobbs County in 1764. Dobbs County was discontinued in 1791 and became part ofGlasgow County, and in 1799 was divided and changed to Greene and LenoirCounty." (p. 38)
"Edward I lived in Dobbs Countyand is on the 1780 Tax list. The 1780 Dobbs County Tax list shows EdwardCoward, Sr. (Edward I) with valuationof $507. He was not on the 1790 USCensus, and I think he died in Dobbs County between 1780 and 1790. I found noevidence that he moved to SC with his sons and the other Cowards." (p. 42)
Joe A. Cowart found the 1769 Dobbs County Tax list to be ofvalue as follows:
"The 1769 Tax list of DobbsCounty NC has 7 lines in 2 groupings relating to Cowards. The first grouping of 4 lines shows (1)Nathaniel, (2) 'Edward I and son Needham', (3) 'James and son Edward CowardJun', (4) Ezekiel. The second groupingshows (5) William V and his Negro Hercules, (6) Elisha and (7) John. . . "(p. 6)
Joe uses the Tax list to confirm othersources that Edward I was the father of Nathaniel, Needham, and James. The statement “James and son Edward CowardJun” is not mentioned by Cowart. Hegoes on further to give additional information from the Dobbs Grantee IndexBooks:
"When the courthouse in DobbsCounty opened in January 1777, after being closed since May 1775 because of theRevolutionary War, Edward I and wife recorded three deeds of distribution, one(Grantee Index Book C Page 58- Deed Book 9, Page 47) was to Ezekiel, the second(Grantee Index Book C page 58 - Deed Book 9, page 41) was to Edward Jr., andthe third (Grantee Index Book C page 58 - Deed Book 9, page 48) was toNeedham."

EdwardCoward II (2461) (Before 1742- after 1820)
Ptomey lists the following transactionsconcerning Edward Coward II (2461):
"The 1780 Dobbs County Taxlist, District No. 6 - Greene County - North of Great Contentnea Creek fromHookerton, Maury vicinity and west to near Snow Hill shows Edward, Sr. The total valuation of his property waslisted as $507. A second Edward Coward, assumed to be Edward Coward II, Edward,Sr. I's son is shown to have holdings worth 902. . . . Edward Coward, Jr. was granted land grantnumber 2469 on the north side of Contentnea Creek, August 26, 1766." (p.42)
"On April 2, 1764 Edward I wasgiven authority for a patent of 200 acres a little below the Great Meadow onPolecat Branch in Dobbs County." Edward, Jr. II was a chainbearer. This is currently in Greene County. (p. 38)
"On September 26, 1766 EdwardII was issued patent for 200 acres of land on the north side of ContentneaCreek below the place of James Coward in Craven County. This land was probably on the Dobbs Countyline. James Coward and Nathaniel Cowardwere chainbearers. This is Edward IIwho would have been about 24 in 1766. James and Nathaniel were his brothers." (p. 39)
"On July 21, 1774 Edward Cowardwas issued patent for 150 acres of land in Dobbs County on the north side ofGreat Contentnea between James and Edward Coward's line. Needham and James Coward were chainbearers.This probably is Edward II." (p. 39)
"Edward II is on the 1790Census of Dobbs County In his household- two males over 16 years (himself and one son), two males under 16 years old,and four females (his wife and three daughters)." (p. 42)
"Edward II does not show up inthe 1810 Census, but does in 1820 in Greene County. He is shown as Edward Coward, Sr., over 45 years old, wife over45 years, and one daughter of at least 16 but under 26 years. (Edward II would have been around 78.) On the same Census there is Edward, Jr., ageat least 26 but under 45 years old. Itappears from this that after the death of Edward I, Edward, Jr. II becameEdward, Sr, and the Edward, Jr. (Edward III) on this Census was grandson ofEdward I." (p. 44)
"On January 2, 1780, NeedhamCoward was issued patent for 50 acres of land in Dobbs County, NC on the southside of Great Contentnea Creek, joining William Miller, Edward Coward's andJohn Brinkley's line. Chainbearers wereEdward Coward and James Coward." (p. 40)
"On November 1, 1792, EdwardCoward was issued patent for 550 acres of land on the north side of ContentneaCreek, joining James Coward, William McCoy, and his own lines near the CravenCounty line in Glasgow County. Chainbearers, Cullen Coward (Edward II's son) and Timothy Pirse."(p. 40) (I assume this is Edward II, b.1742).
"On March 11, 1795, John Coward(2932), Esquire, was issued50 acres by patent on the south side of Great Contentnea Creek joining ConnersBasse's and his own lines. Chainbearers, Wills Granger, Shadrack Coward (John'sson). This John was son of William CowardV (and brother to Frederick and Elisha).

EdwardCoward III (2085) (1785-1863)
The 1820 Census of Greene County has anEdward, Jr., age at least 26 but under 45 years old. It appears from thisCensus that after the death of Edward I, Edward, Jr., II became Edward, Sr. andthe Edward, Jr., on this Census was grandson of Edward I. Edward III was 35 in the 1820 Census.
The 1850 Census of Greene County indicatesthat Edward III's neighbors were Richard Phillips (22nd house), Barny Phillips(31st house), William McKay (27th house), William Chase (50th house), CharlesEdwards (58th house).
In 1860 Edward lived in Greene County in theOlds District, dwelling 45, p. 674 of the Census. He was listed as a farmer with real property worth $4000 andpersonal property worth $12,000. Hisage was 74 in 1860 (b. in 1785).
Also in the 1860 Census, William Coward, age29, lived next door to Edward in dwelling no. 416. His wife, age 20, was Carolinet, b. January 15, 1840 and diedJanuary 3, 1862.
Allen J. Barwick has in his possession an abstract ofa deed that was transferred from Edward III to Samuel H. Coward as a warrantydeed of gift on December 15, 1839. The deed did not mention that Edward had awife. (However, her tombstone indicatesshe died in 1854.) Edward III's deathdate of 1863 is based on the death date on Edward's tombstone in the Cowardgraveyard in Greene County.

Neighbors to Samuel Coward, according to the1850 Census were: Isaac Chestnut, Warren Bell, S. Chestnut, P.Phillips, D. Moore, W. Ormand and G. Moor. Others living in the household atTick Bite in 1850 were: Lucretia, his wife, and children Eugenia (13), Nancy(7) and Albert G. (3).
Samuel Coward lived in the neck formed bythe Contentnea Creek and the Neuse River in Lenoir County currently called TickBite. The house, of colonial vintage,still stands on the banks of the Contentnea Creek in a bend in the creekcommonly called "Yellow Bank." This area was the community for several families during the middle1800's including the Cowards, Pittmans, Patricks and Stanlys. The Coward-Pittman cemetery is in this areaon the Barwick land near the old location of Coward Bridge that was burnedduring the Civil war.

Eugenia was the oldest child of Samuel andLucretia Coward. The 1850 LenoirCounty, N.C. Census reports Eugenia (age 13) as living in the Contentnea NeckTownship. The 1860 Census also indicatedthat Eugenia (age 22) lived in the Kinston Township with her husband, John Stanly(age 30), and four bonded adolescent children; i.e., Albert Coward (age 11),Nannie Coward (age 16), Nancy Wright Stanly ( age 12), and William F.

In addition, Wright Stanly, John Stanly’sfather, died in 1856 (his mother’s death date is unknown). These deaths resulted in John and Eugeniataking in their own brothers and sisters - who later married each other.
Eugenia first married John B. Stanly around1858. She later married Moses Spivey 11July, 1880, after John died 6 April, 1879. She died 30 May, 1902 at the age of 64. Both John and Eugenia are buried in the Coward cemetery in Tick Bite,N.C.

I am indebted to Martha Scarborough Brooks (170) and Jesse Lee Vaughan (2531) for providing some of the informationon Nancy Elizabeth Coward's descendants. Nancy had two children before she died in1870 at the age of 26 - Hattie Nannie Stanly (497) and William Franklin Stanly(495). It is believed that she lived inthe Tick Bite vicinity near her brother Albert and her sister Eugenia. She inherited a portion of the 1200 acresleft by her father, Samuel H. Coward, to her and the other two children when hedied in 1851. It is interesting to notethat when the 1860 Lenoir County Census was taken, Albert Coward (age 11),Nannie Coward (age 16), William F. Stanly (age 16), and Nancy W. Stanly (11)all lived in the household of John B. (age 29) and Eugenia Stanly (age 23)(Eugenia Coward) in the Contentnea Neck Township - most likely Tick Bite. Also,it is equally interesting to realize that the Stanly's and Coward's brothersand sisters married each other.
Martha Scarborough Brooks' mother was HattieStanly, Nannie and W. F. Stanly's oldest child, and Jesse Lee Vaughan's great grandfather,William Franklin Stanly was their youngest child.

AlbertG. Coward (19) (1848-1928)
Albert,the father of Sarah May Coward, most likely was born in Tick Bite in the oldcolonial home that still stands at “Yellow-Bank” on the Contentnea Creek. Hewas three years old when his father died in 1851. According to the 1860 Census, at age 13 he was staying in thehousehold of John B. Stanly, Eugenia Coward’s husband, along with his sisterNancy (Nannie) age 16, William F. Stanly age 16 (who later married Nannie), andNancy W. Stanly age 11 (who also became Albert’s wife in 1866). Albert was guardian over 14 slaves and Nanniewas guardian over one slave. Albert married Nancy Wright Stanly on December 23,1866 just after the Civil War ended. There is no record of his serving in the War Between the States. After their marriage, Albert moved out ofthe low grounds of Tick Bite to higher ground - the site of the currentBarwick-Coward home at Route 2 Grifton. Tradition has it that he built this house around 1870 just after SarahMay Coward was born. Moses Spivey wholater married Eugenia Coward after her husband, John B. Stanly, died was a longtime friend of Albert and probably assisted Albert in building this house. Albert moved to Grifton after the 1910Census to run a store on the bank of the Contentnea Creek near the old Griftonbridge. John Barwick bought Albert’s farm around 1919. The remainder of the original Edward CowardTick Bite estate was owned by the heirs of Albert’s sisters - Eugenia Coward(spouse - John B. Stanly) and Nannie Coward ( Hattie Stanly and husband Ben F.Scarborough andWilliam Franklin Stanly Jr.)
Asindicated elsewhere, Albert Coward was an engertic business man and an activechurch member. (See the Kinston FreePress clippings later in this report.) He died in 1928 and his death announcement in the October 8, 1928Kinston Daily Free Press follows:

Sarah May Coward (2)(1869-1963)
SarahMay Coward (1869-1963) was the second child of eleven children born to AlbertG. Coward and his wife, Nancy Wright Stanly. She was born probably in a log cabin in the vicinity of the Coward homethat was built around 1870 by her father-the current Barwick-Coward house. She lived in this house till she marriedJohn Henry on December 23, 1891. They moved from the Edwards Bridge Barwickfarm area to Kinston in 1907; moved to Grifton around 1914 where they lived inthe Cobb Hotel; and finally moved back to the old Coward home around 1919. She died in this old place when she was 94years old. So, of her 94 years, shelived 66 in the same house - a placeshe loved dearly. One of her favoritesongs in her later years was "This Old House." She openly admitted that she was referringto her aging and frail body, but she probably was including the place that alsomeant so much to her.

SETTLEMENT IN LENOIR COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
DobbsCounty, North Carolina
Inthe first decade of the eighteenth century, John Lawson, the English Surveyor -General, traveled through the province of Carolina. In his account of this exploration, published in 1709, he describedthe eastern area inhabited by the belligerent Tuscarora Indians as consistingof vast swamps and marshes, dense forests of loblolly pine trees, and lazytributaries of the Neuse River. Betweenthe time of publication of Lawson's travel account and the outbreak of theAmerican Revolution, the area underwent a significant change. During this period North Carolina became aseparate province and passed from the control of the Lords Proprietors to theEnglish Crown. The populationincreased, settlements gradually moved up the eastern rivers, and the Indianmenace was removed. The scatteredvillages and broad cultivated acres presented a picture radically differentfrom Lawson's description.
TheBarwick and Coward families participated in this transformation of the colonyof North Carolina. Members of these twofamilies had settled in the state as early as 1700. The Cowards settled or moved to Dobbs or Greene county receiving land grants north of the Contentnea Creek and in theContentnea Neck area of Lenoir (Dobbs) County. The Barwicks settled along the Neuse just west of Kinston in the MosleyHall township in the mid 1750's. Someof the details of these settlements are presented elsewhere in this document.

Contentnea NeckTownship In 1906
Accordingto the1906 Industrial Issue of Kinston Free Press, “. . . ContentneaNeck township comprises that portion of Lenoir county which forms a neckbetween Contentnea Creek and Neuse river. It is a fertile portion of the county, and is rather closelysettled. Contentnea Neck is said tohave been the last home of the Tuscarora Indians, before their emigration toOswego county, New York, prior to the Revolutionary war. The remains of one of their old forts may beseen on the John H. Barwick plantation. (now owned by Luther Pittman).
Grifton, one of the progressive townsrepresented in this publication lies partly in Contentnea Neck township; andGrainger's station on the A.C. L., six miles from Kinston, is also in thistownship . . .
The township has five white churches and onecolored, Rev. S.W. Sumerell is the minister at the Bethel Disciple Church (JohnBarwick's family church), which enrolls about 125 members. The superintendent of the Sunday School isJohn Jones. Rev. B.W. Nash is pastor ofthe Bethel Baptist Church, which has a membership of about 25. (This churchbuilding has been moved and is now used as a barn back of the William Hillhome.) The Methodist Church at Sharonhas about 125 members. It is on theGrifton circuit, which is served by Rev. L.S. Ethredge. The Free Will Baptist Church at Sharon hasabout 75 members; and a Sunday School is maintained in connection with theChurch. Rev. L.S. Ethridge is pastor ofEdwards Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church. There is an attendance of 75 members, and Mr. W.F. Harper (Jennie BrooksBarwick's husband) is superintendent of the Sunday School.
There are six white and two colored schoolsin the township. Children from twodistricts of the township attend the Grifton Graded school, which town liespartly in Contentnea Neck. The schoolat Bethel is taught by Miss Dwilla Heath, and has an average of 25 pupils. The school at Barwick's school house has twoteachers-Misses Jennie Barwick and Annie Rhodes.

The result is that Dr. Dawson, the onlyresident physician, finds it necessary -- so it is said- to cultivate a farm inorder to relieve himself of "that tired feeling," and to replenishhis depleted exchequer, since his most arduous professional duties in Griftonseem to consist in making it easy for the stork to alight.
Everybody in thetown takes a pride in the Grifton Graded school. The school has an enrollment of 125 pupils. The teachers are W.F. Amick, principal;Misses Olivia Cox, Mary Edwards, and Ruth R. Matthews. The Board of Trustees comprises J.L. Keen,Jr. and R.E. Pittman, of Lenoir county, and Dr. W.W. Dawson, J.Z. Brooks, andC.J. Tucker, of Pitt County.
The people of thetown support two churches. These are aDisciple church with an enrollment of about 200, and the Methodist Episcopalchurch, with about the same membership. The pastor of the Disciple church is Rev. R.H. Jones, and the Sundayschool superintendent is W. J. Allen. The Methodist pastor is Rev. L.S.Ethridge, and the Sunday-Scool superintendent is Albert G. Coward. The Sunday school is a large one, and isdoing excellent work.
Grifton is a townof pretty cottage homes and nice business houses, principally of brick. It is situated on Contentnea Creek, and haswater navigation at nearly all seasons of the year.
The A.C.L. railroadstation does a business of at least$1,500 a month. It ships on an average4,000 bales of cotton, 50,000 pounds of tobacco, and 2,000 barrels of Irish Potatoesin the course of a year, besidesvarious other lines of freight. C.E.Gardner is the genial and courteous agent.
One of thepromising enterprises of the town is the Grifton Manufacturing company, formaking and repairing buggies, wagons and various kinds of farm implements. At present the establishment employees tenmen, on an average. Dr. W.W. Dawson ispresident of the Company, and J.R. Harvey secretary and treasurer; S.W. Spock,L.J. Chapman, L.O. Cox and A.L. Jackson are other members of the board of directors. Another manufacturing plant that does aflourishing business is the lumber mill of Keene and Kittrell.
The town has overtwo dozen business houses, including two millinery establishments, two meatmarkets, two barber shops, six general merchandise and farm supply stores, twolivery stables and a drug store.
The mayor of thetown is R.F. Jenkins, and the Board of Aldermen includes C.E. Gardner, I.E.Jenkins, and W.H. McCotter. The townMarshal is D.G. Beddard. The Masonshave a nicely fitted up lodge in Grifton., The present officers: W.W. Dawson, W.M.; J.L. Keene, Jr., S. W.: C.H.Gaskins, J.W.; C.J. Tucker, S.D.; R.F.Jenkins, J.D.; S.K. Jackson, Tyler; H.E. Rice, Secretary; G.T. Gardner,Treasurer.
Grifton wasoriginally known as Bell's Ferry, from the fact that Warren Bell conducted aferry at his chair factory there on Contentnea Creek. This was more than fifty years ago, and Bell was the only manthere. Later-early in the '80's- thetown was incorporated and Dr. S.B. Wood was the first mayor. The town was then called Grifton, after aMr. Griffin, who was the first merchant and the biggest propery holder of thetown.
Contentnea Creek,flows through the town of Grifton. During the high water season this is navigable up to the Grifton dockand up to a point seven miles from town at all seasons of the year. This is a big saving to the merchants andfarmers generally on all farm supplies such as fertilizers, etc. Captain Tillman makes two trips a week withhis passenger and freight boat between New Berne and Grifton. The town is coming to the front rapidly, andthere is a general tone of posperity about the place that appeals at once tothe casual observer.”

Bethel Academy
BethelAcademy, (the building in front of Bethel Christian Church) just one mile fromGrainger's station, was one of the first institutions of learning in theState. It was established by E. J.Brooks, A.G. Coward, W.H. Rountree, M. Spivey, J.L. Ives, R.M. Abbott, BenjaminPhillips and C.T. Barwick. J.D. Murphy a graduate of the University of NorthCarolina, was the first teacher.
JohnBarwick was educated for the most part at Bethel Academy. The academy was located in the heart of Bethel community about amile and half from the Barwick farm and about a mile from the Albert Cowardfarm at Tick Bite. The buildingcontained two stories: the upper storywas a Masonic hall; and lower floor, a large room with "high homemadedesks." The academy stood in agrove of large oak trees near the Disciple and Primitive Baptist churches, ablacksmith shop and a country store. For nearly ten years after the establishment of the school Bethel wasthe most cultured community in Contentnea Neck. (State Archives).

EdwardsBridge Community
Shortly after the beginning of the CivilWar, Craven Tull Barwick joined a cavalry outfit in the Confederate Army. He served throughout the war and wascaptured by the enemy and was placed in a federal prisioner of war camp atPoint Lookout, Maryland from October 1863 until February 1865. With the collapse of the Confederacy, CravenTull started a bleak trek back to North Carolina and probably to tend hisfather, Isaac’s, farm. (Isaac died in1863 while Craven was away in the war.) While in prison, he must have know Edward J. Brooks who was also atPoint Lookout. They were both releasedabout the same time and they both ultimately returned to Lenoir County to livein the Edwards Bridge Community. Their farms were located near the place wherethe English Surveyor-General, John Lawson, had crossed Contentnea Creek in therural community of Bethel in Contentnea Neck Township about a mile from thepresent town of Grifton. ContentneaNeck township is in that north eastern corner of Lenoir County between theNeuse River and Contentnea Creek bordering Pitt and Greene counties. John H. Barwick was born on this farm. His childhood companions included hisbrothers and sisters, numerous relatives in the area, and the children of suchneighboring families as the Brooks and Pittmans.

CowardBridge History
Building the Bridge
Coward'sBridge, currently know to very few people from the Grifton community was builtin 1849 at what was then referred to as Coward's Landing. This bridge, a few miles from the mouth ofthe Contentnea Creek, must have served as the major crossing of the ContentneaCreek from Lenoir County to Pitt County between Jolley's Old Field and EdwardsBridge. Warren Bell later established a ferry across theContentnea in the area know as the "Bottom" about where Alf [10] Coward's home was, or near the cemeterywhere Alf is buried. Warren apparentlyhad a ferry crossing the creek near the Coward Bridge. He filed a petition in 1857 complaining ofencroachment of the completed bridge on his property (see Document 4). Thesettlement of this complaint is not known. He obviously moved further up the creek to the present community ofGrifton to reestablish his ferry business.
TheCoward Bridge was destroyed during the Civil War to impede the movement of Yankee troops thateventually occupied the area sometime after 1863. The submerged timber pilings from the old bridge used to bevisible during low water. Sam Barwick pointed them out to me one day while fishingfrom the Coward Landing site in the 1950's. Breast work protected the bridge and some of it is still evident on thesouth side of the creek. Records of the Civil war indicate that there was anencampment at this site during 1862.(See the next section.) The bridge was builtplanned by a joint committee described in the transcripts of the documents tofollow.

Account[11] ofCivil War Activity at Coward's Bridge
“The origin of this battalion was a companyof Heavy Artillery raised for the defence of New Bern. After its fall, this company and threeothers (Mayo's, Leecraft's and Herring's) in like predicament, were organizedinto a temporary battalion under Captain John N. Whitford 17 March, 1862. He soon raised a permanent battalion andGeneral Pettigrew 17 March, 1863, complimented the men and especially their commanderas "a gallant and efficient officer.". In May, 1863, he was at Coward's Bridge with 400 men. The battalion was commanded by him as Major,and did efficient and daring service in scouting and in driving back predatoryexpeditions of the enemy. In wasreported that on 25 November, 1863, the federals captured 52 men (killing some)and 100 horse and arms, etc., but we do not know how true this was. It wasreported else where a loss of twenty men captured at Haddock's Mills, nearGreenville. In 1863 the battalion wasrecruited to six companies, of which Major Whitford became Lieutenant-Colonel,and was at Kinston December, 1863 with 627 present. On 18 January, 1864, it was raised to a full regiment, the Sixty -seventh, of which he was made Colonel and whose history has already been toldin Vol. 3 of this Work.”

CowardFarm Bell in Tick Bite
Albert Coward, the great grandfather ofAllen J. Barwick, inherited the tracts of land in theTick Bite areas. He relocated thehomestead from the banks of the Contentnea Creek, near Cowards landing, to thecurrent site that is about one mile west. This old homestead is still owned by Coward heirs, Gene, John, Allen and JimmyBarwick. An integral part of the homeplace was the old church bell in the back yard. This bell came out of the Grifton Methodist Church around theearly part of the century and was returned to the third church building thatwas razed in 1972 to make room for the fourth and current church building.
The following letter, addressed to theMinister of Grifton Methodist church on the day that a memorial window wasdedicated to Sam and Glen Barwick for their service to this Church, gives anaccount of the church bell that should be of interest. The letter follows:

Reverend SamuelW. Loy
GriftonUnited Methodist Church
Grifton,NC 28530
Dear Rev.Loy:
I wanted to take thisopportunity to express my appreciation for being invited to the dedication ofthe Narthex Memorial Window on October 10, 1993. My parents, Sam and Glen Barwick were devoted members of yourChurch and I am sure they are pleased with the honor you all have bestowed uponthem along with their friends. Ourvisitation allowed us the opportunity to renew old acquaintances and see peoplewe haven't seen in 30 or more years.
I was also delighted to see thatyou have located and returned the bell to the Church. Your request for someone to offer the history of the bell was toomuch for me to resist, although there are others that are probably moreknowledgeable than I on this subject. So, the following is my account, based on my knowledge and somespeculation of the bell's long history. If I am mistaken in any of my statements, I stand to be corrected, andwould like to know what the truth is in the cases where I am wrong. So, here goes:
According to the history of theGrifton United Methodist Church, written by Dorothy G. Reeves, whosegrandmother was Johnnie Cassie Coward Gardner and great, grandfather was AlbertGalletin Coward, the bell was given by Moses Spivey when the first Church wasbuilt around 1885. At that time, A. G. Coward, father of Annie L. CowardPatrick, Sarah May Coward Barwick, Eugenia Albert Coward Pittman, Bessie NannieCoward Patrick, Johnnie Cassie Coward Gardner, Addie Caroline Coward McCotter,Rachael Oliva Coward Taylor, and Jessie Vernon Coward Cox was in his latethirties. Moses Spivey, approximately 35 when the Church was built, was thesecond husband of Eugenia Coward, A. G. Coward's sister. There is evidence that Albert Coward andMoses Spivey were close friends, but my records are incomplete as to whereMoses lived. He helped build the firstchurch, and tradition has it that he helped Albert build the house that all thegirls were raised in, the old John Barwick place near Tick Bite. John Barwick,my grandfather, bought the farm from Albert in 1919 and begin farming it withhis son Sam Coward Barwick, my father, that same year. You may also be interested in knowing thatthe current site for the sanctuary was sold to the Church by my father.
The bell was removed from theoriginal Church and placed on a platform behind the old Coward-Barwick home andwas used as time-piece for all the farm hands and surrounding neighbors. Thedate the bell was moved to the farm was either in 1900 or 1918 - the times whenthe original and the second Churches were demolished. I think it probablyhappened in 1900 while Albert Coward still owned the Coward place. Mygrandmother, "Miss May Coward Barwick," would ring the bell the startof each day, at lunch (dinner) and at the close of each working day. The bell's resonance could be heard forseveral miles around (all way to Grifton on a clear day) and was used by theneighbors as a time piece to set their watches by. It was rung during emergencies, fires and at the end of WWII onVJ day (and probably at the end of WWI). As a youngster, I had the privilege to ring the bell, usually at lunchand after lunch. The bell's sound wasmusic to our ears when it was time to quit during a hot day in the middle ofthe tobacco patch, but early in the morning or the wake up call after lunch waspure drudgery. Sam Coward Barwickreturned the bell to the Church in the late '50s where it was placed in thesteeple till the building was demolished to make room for the currentstructure. Its journey from there tothis date, I am not aware of, but I delight in its return home.
There are many people that knewthe bell. Some or most of thedescendants of Edward Coward listed on the accompanying table knew about the bell,and the ones that are living probably share my interest in seeing that the bellremain with the church. It would begreat if it could be put back to use where its familiar ring could once againbe heard throughout the Grifton community. Except now, its ring would be the wake up call for Christ rather thanthe wake up call for labor. (Of course, my dad thought that the work of laborand the work of Christ were one and the same as most good Protestants stillbelieve.)
I have given all this detail on namesto also show the importance of the founding families in the early developmentof the Grifton Methodist Church. In addition to the Coward descendants, thePittman and Patrick families and their descendants make up a large number ofthe original families of this Church. Interestingly enough, they were all related in some way either by kin ormarriage. Allen Patrick, one of theframers of the Church, was married first to Annie L. Coward and later to BessieNannie Coward, both daughters of A. G. Coward. Similarly, Robert Elijah Pittman was married to Eugenia Albert Coward.Robert's father was Francis Marion Pittman, founder of the Church and JohnHenry Barwick's first cousin, once removed. Miss Appie Spivey, the stepdaughter of Moses and Eugenia Coward Spivey,was the niece of Albert Coward. Thecurrent day families of Barwick, Gardner, Cobb, Cox, Haynes, Reeves and Harrisare related by kin or marriage to the Coward and/or Pittman families. I am alsoincluding a C. T. Barwick, Edward Coward and Joel Patrick, and E.V. Pittmandescendancy lists so that you can see the family ties.
I hope this is helpful to you and the members of Grifton UnitedMethodist Church in establishing the bell's history and seeing the family tieswithin this great Church. Please sharethis with your congregation as you see fit. If I can be of help in interpreting all of this please let me know.
Love,
Allen Joseph Barwick

ALPHABETICAL LISTING OFBARWICK - COWARD DESCENDANTS (Same Document as Contemporaries and Piers)
POSTSCRIPT: "HAVE A REUNION AND THEYWILL COME"
Notin my wildest dreams would I have thought that about 100 family and friendswould show up on a hot and humid June day just before the 4th of July weekendfor a reunion of the John Henry and Sarah May Barwick family at the Tick BiteFarm. Despite the fact that we hadlarge shady oak trees, bar-b-que pork and chicken (and a little beer stashedaway under the hibiscus shrub) and an open house invitation to visit inside theold home place, I didn't think that we would attract more than 30-40 die-hardfamily members. But in loyalty and lovefor John Henry and Sarah May and their children, we followed through with ourplans and provided for a reunion, and they did indeed come! Furthermore, we have made plans to have morereunions, every two years.
In addition to John and Mary, there were seven children whoare responsible for our coming to this reunion. The picture shown below, taken around 1907 when the Barwicks hadjust moved to Kinston, NC, (they later moved to the farm in 1919.) is the onlyknow photo showing all of the Barwick children together. (The young man in the front row with barefeet was a neighborhood friend of Rachel or Winnie judging from his age.) The Barwick clan, starting with the first row,left are: Winnie (5), neighborhood friend, Rachel (7), Eugene (1) in thecenter; and back row, left: Rodney (9), Mary Ethel (13), Ruth (15) and Sam(11).

Descendants Of John DAVIS (c. 1909-1995)
Anybody that has ever stayed at the Barwick farm knows thatJohn and Minnie Bell Davis were fully fledged members of the John Henry andSarah May family. While not blood kinthey were in every sense true spiritual brothers and sisters. They certainly shared a kindred spirit withall of us that remember and had the privilege and honor to work and be raisedby them. This family was also invitedto the reunion and they all came, and we hope that they will continue to cometo all future reunions.
