Wandering Through The Piedmont   (A North Carolina Blog) http://piedmontwanderings.blogspot.com/

Posted by Mark Chilton
Monday, January 25, 2010
Pretty much this entire blogpost is extracted from John Scott Davenport's excellent article Early Settlers in the North Carolina Piedmont on Land Sold by Henry McCulloh within Granville's District, 1749-1763 (NCGenSoc Journal, #4, 1978). I also cross-referenced against William D. Bennett's transcripts of Orange Deed Books 1-5. He's transcripted several more deed books, but I haven't made it through them all.

Location of McCulloh's Great Tract 11   (North Carolina)

Tract 11 was a square rotated 45 degrees forming a diamond. It was 12.5 miles on a side, stretching from the old Rowan/Orange County line on the western tip to Swepsonville on the eastern end. Thus Tract 11 included big parts of what are now Alamance and Guilford Counties as well as small parts of Chatham and perhaps Randolph Counties.

H. E. McCulloh's Deed of Surrender to the Granville Estate

When Henry E. McCulloh surrendered to Granville's estate the unsold lands in McCulloh's Great Tract #11, he listed out all of the parties to whom his father Henry McCulloh had sold land in Tract 11. Davenport lists all of these as an interesting record of who all the purchasers in Tract 11 were:

Settlers in Tract 11

76. George Ingle, 258 acres, 17 May, 1763
77. Martin Loy, 251 acres, 17 May, 1763; apparently he built a mill on Rock Creek.
78. Phillip Sellers, 223 acres, 1 May, 1763
79. John Noe, 308 acres, 23 May, 1763; see ODB 2, pg 193; Noe to John Graves; Gt Alamance; 80. Phillip Seller's corner; Potmaker's line; cross Stinking Quarter; HEM to John Noe 1764 ODB 2, pg 576; Stinking Quarter Ck.
81. James Woods, 565 acres, 20 May, 1763
82. Andrew Campbell, 487 acres, 23 May, 1763

Other family surnames of interest on this list that we recognize are Holt, Powell, Loy, Low, Isley, Whitsell etc.

Also listed are Mr Chilton's sources for this list and a brief but helpful explanation of the problems regarding these deeds within the Granville Tract of NC.

==================

The Haw River is a tributary of the Cape Fear River, approximately 110 mi (177 km) long, that is entirely contained in north central North Carolina in the United States. It was first documented as the "Hau River" by John Lawson, an English botanist, in his 1709 book "A New Voyage to Carolina." The river gives its name to a small town that formed on its banks.

Subject:  [BRASWELL] Braswell's Ordinary,Orange Cy
 

Dear Tina,

    "Braswell's Ordinary" was mentioned in   Orange County Court of Common
Please and Quarter Sessions minutes  dated  February, 1764.  In that entry
William Braswell  was given license "to keep a Tavern at his now Dwelling
house..."  In a subsequent entry from the May Court, the road "from
Braswell's Ordinary to James Sellers' " was mentioned.  As you may  know,
 an "ordinary" was a combination hotel and tavern for colonial
travelers.

     The family of Valentine Braswell (c.1688-c.1763) ran  their ordinary in
combination with  a ferryboat operation just downstream from the Deep-Haw
confluence at the head of navigation on Cape Fear.   Orange quarter sessions
records indicate that Richard Braswell was licensed to keep a public ferry
"at his plantation on the North West side of Cape Fear" in June, 1758.  The
Price-Strother 1808 Map proves  that the "Brazel" Ferry stayed  in operation
well into the nineteenth century.

    An English traveler  has left us a colorful description of what it was
like to stay in a "Carolina ordinary":

    "They were mostly log-huts, or a frame weatherboarded; the better sort
consisting of one story and two rooms; the more numerous having no internal
divisions....One corner of the room would be occupied by a 'bunk' containing
the family bed; another by a pine-wood chest, the family clothes press and
larder; a third would be railed off for a bar, containing a rum-keg and a
tumbler.  The rest of the furniture consisted of two chairs and a table, all
in the last stage of palsy....If hunger and fatigue compelled you to remain,
a little Indian corn for your horse, and a blanket on the hearth, with your
saddle for a pillow, to represent a bed, were the most you could
obtain....As to edibles, whether you called for breakfast, dinner, or
supper, the reply was one--eggs and bacon....Ten to one you had to cook the
meal yourself....No sooner were you seated than the house-dog (of the large
wolf  breed) would arrange himself beside you and lift his lank, hungry jaws
expressively to your face.  The young children, never less that a dozen (the
women seeming to bear them in a litter in those regions), at the smell and
sight of the victuals would let up a yell enough to frighten the wolves."

1780 CHATHAM district of ORANGE CO, = THOMAS SELLERS tax list

1 horse, 1 cow, 880 taxable amt 

===============

from CARL SELLARS Carl E Sellars [sellarsshop@frontier.com]

ORANGE AND CHATHAM INTRIGUE

An interesting and informative court case found in the Court of Equity for the Hillsborough District tempts the imagination. The will of John Patterson, Esq., was missing. Mrs. Mary Patterson, formerly the widow Couch, named the following as "confederates" having "artfully contrived" against her and her step grandson. The suit named her step son, Mark Patterson, step daughter Sarah Patterson and husband John Barbee, step daughter Martha Patterson and husband Luke Bynum, Robert Sellars, husband of Sarah Bynum (daughter of Luke Bynum and Martha "Patsy" Patterson), and step grandchildren Page and Milly Patterson, children of John Tapley Patterson, deceased. John Tapley Patterson's son, Mann Patterson, a nineteen year old, therefore "an infant" was named on the side of Mrs. Mary Couch Patterson. Benjamin Yeargan, who was married to John Tapley Patterson's widow, was listed as Mann Patterson's "next friend".

John Patterson wrote, or possibly rewrote, his will on 3 March, 1787, about month before his death on 5 April, 1787, apparently excluding his living children, Mark Patterson, Sarah Patterson Barbee (wife of John Barbee), and Martha Patterson Bynum (wife of Luke Bynum of Chatham County), in favor of his second wife, Mary (widow Couch) Patterson and his grandson, Mann Patterson.

Not to be out done, Mark Patterson and Robert Sellars paid a visit to Hillsborough attorney Jesse Benton, asking that he borrow the will from Mary's lawyer Joseph Taylor. The will then "mysteriously" disappeared. Entries, which cover a period of years in the Orange County Pleas and Quarter Sessions, strongly suggested that Mrs. Patterson bring the will into Court for probate or risk losing the entire estate. This being impossible, several potential witnesses to the "loss" of the will were supoened, again over a number of Quarter Sessions, including Jesse Benton. Lawyer Benton described the scene, loosely translated as -" I borrowed the will from lawyer Taylor as requested, Mark Patterson spent some time reading it, Robert Sellars came in from Chatham, threw his saddle over the hogshead in the corner, sat down on a step and became deeply engrossed in the document, while I was deeply engrossed in converation with Mark Patterson....next thing I knew I was called into Court. That's the last time I saw that will". Robert Sellars was called in twice, first pleading total innocence and later declaring that the last time he saw the will it was in the hands of Tapley Bynum of Chatham County. At some point a fellow came in to testify that he had seen Robert Sellars on his horse, fording the river, on his way back to Chatham County- proving nothing, of course. Needless to say, the will never surfaced and Mrs. Patterson apparently lived out her remaining years status quo. After she died in 1796 John Patterson's children were called into Court and asked to recall what they "remembered" the will said.

That is the entire entry....

Carl, the Robert Sellers that married Sarah Bynum is not the brother of James T/Y Sellers of Chatham County, NC. This Robert Sellers is the son of James T/Y Sellers. James T/Y Sellers does have a brother, Robert Sellers Sr. of Burke County, NC, however.

There was a Jehue Hall listed on the 1810 Orange Co., NC census p. 136
(Hillsborough District)

- 1 - 1 - //6 1 - 1 1 -

He is living about 12 households from John Pendergrass, a brother of Joseph
"Job" Pendergrass who moved to Burke around 1810 and lived near the Halls,
Sellers, Wilkersons, etc. Appears that a group living in that area in Old Orange,
moved to Burke, such as Hall, Pendergrass, Noblitt, Morris, Rayburn, Hogan,
who are found as neighbors in old Burke Co., NC. There are a couple of Wilkerson
families also living in early Orange Co., NC, and I have wondered if their is
some familial relationship.

There was a Jehu Pyle married Rutha Lindley 8 Aug 1786 Orange Co., NC
