| 1052 | An Azariah Scott appears in Caswell Co. in the 1850 census at page 202 taken Sept. 7, 1850. Mary Scott (90) from Granville NC is living in the household. Mary Scott is likely the mother of Azariah Scott. The remaining household members include John A. Scott (3), Martha F. Scott (5), William L. Scott (6), and Sallie A Scott (1). 1850 Caswell Co., North Carolina Census, Roll M432_623, p. 202. Caswell Co. Will Book S., p. 89. January Court 1859. Inventory of estate of Azariah Scott taken by John Manly on Oct. 20, 1858. John Manly may be the brother-in-law of Deborah Page and husband of Deborah’s sister Lucy. Caswell Co. Will Book S, p. 91. January Court 1859. Property sold of estate of Azariah Scott by John Manly on Nov. 12 1858. Caswell Co. Will Book S, pg. 387. April Court 1861. John Manley adm in acct with estate of Azariah Scott, paid. Saml. P. Hill, atty, Gunn & Bowe, G. J. Farish for note, et al. Note written on side of page reads: Recd of George W. Manley $60 in full amt due children of Az. Scott. 7 April 1879. John Scott was bondsman on Azariah Scott marriage bond. Paul Haralson was a witness. John Scott was also bondsman on the marriage bond for Bartlett Scott and Bashaba Roberts. Paul Haralson was a witness on the marriage bond of William Scott and Polly Puckett and Bartlett Scott was bondsman.. A William Allen Scott b 12 Oct 1797 in NC and married to America Bennett had a son named Azariah Scott born in Caswell Co. Maybe William Allen and my Azariah are brothers. Azariah Scott died in 1858. In the last census prior to his death, there were 4 children in his household: William L. (6), Martha F. (5), John A. (3) and Sallie A. (1). In the 1860 census a 16 year old W.L. Scott and 6 year old A.W. Scott are living in the household of John Manly, who was the administrator and brother in law of Azariah Scott. An Azariah Scott is listed in the John Manly household in the 1870 census. W. L. Scott appears to be the son of Azariah who is recorded in the 1850 census. A. W. Scott appears to be another son of Azariah who was born after the 1850 census. A 14 year old M. Scott (Martha F) is listed in the household of Hannah Kennon. It is not known what relationship, if any, existed between Hannah Kennon and the Scott family. However, both families lived in the Hogan Creek area of Caswell Co. It seems likely that Deborah Page predeceased her husband, since she does not appear in the 1860 census, and the children of Azariah and Deborah are living with other families. | Scott, Azariah (I907)

| 1053 | An inventory and appraisement of the estate of Mumford Bennett was made on 28 July 1836 and recorded on 5 September 1836. Jackson County, Georgia, Court of Ordinary, Inventories & Appraisments, Annual Returns & Vouchers, Sales Bills, 1830-1842, p. 470 An administrator was appointed for the estate of a Mumford Bennett on 5 Apr 1858. Jackson County, Georgia, Temporary Administrators Guardians Bonds, 1844-1897., p. 194 (image 132 of 321). This may be a son or grandson of Mumford Bennet. | Bennett, Mumford (I693)

| 1056 | Ancestry database 'Tennessee Marriages, 1851-1900' shows a marriage of David Crow to M. E. Wilcox on 2 Apr 1873 in Carter Co., TN. Lucy Powell Crow was born on 24 Jan 1874. The death certificate of Lucy Crow names her father as Daniel Crow. It is possible that this is the marriage of her parents and her death certificate is in error. In the 1880 census of Carter Co. TN, Lucy Crow is living in the household of her grandfather, David Wilcox. Martha Wilcox has remarried toFrank Banner and is living in a separate household. | Crow, Lucy Powell (I5592)
|
| 1057 | Andrew appears in the 1850 and 1860 census in the household of George and Prudence Dill. He is absent from the 1870 census. His absence from the list of heirs in George Dill's estate suggests that Andrew died without successors before this estate was probated. | Dill, Andrew (I5617)

| 1065 | Archelus R. Flowers appears in the 1930 census of Spartanburg Co., SC which indicates his age to be 51 and shows that he was 21 when first married. His wife, Sallie, is 25 and was 20 years old when first married. This record proves that Archelus was married twice and he was either divorced or his first wife had passed away. The children from his first marriage were not in his household in 1930. The death index for the Spartanburg Herald Journal, available electronically at the website of the Spartanburg County Library, shows an obituary for A. R. Flowers, age 50, husband of Sally Flowers on 1 Jan 1935, page 2. | Flowers, Archelus R. (I5781)

| 1074 | Axie or Axy is an unusual name even in the time period in which she lived. Although I have no records of her real name, I believe It is a nickname for the biblical name, Achsah, daughter of Caleb. Achsah Dill was apperently named after her aunt, Achsah Loftis, who married Ignatius Few and is buried in the Few Family Cemetery in Greenville Co., SC. Axie is named in the probate records of George Dill as Mrs. Axy Staton and Mrs. Richard Staton. Partial excerpt. 'Mrs. Axy Staton, sworn said Mr. Westmorland never gave her any money, nor she never asked him for any, she asked him if there was any more coming to her and he toldher that there was.'

| 1077 | Bacon's Declaration 1. For having, upon specious pretenses of public works, raised great unjust taxes upon the commonalty for the advancement of private favorites and other sinister ends, but no visible effects in any measure adequate; for not having, during this long time of his government, in any measure advanced this hopeful colony either by fortifications, towns, or trade. 2. For having abused and rendered contemptible the magistrates of justice by advancing to places of judicature scandalous and ignorant favorites. 3. For having wronged his Majesty’s prerogative and interest by assuming monopoly of the beaver trade and for having in it unjust gain betrayed and sold his Majesty’s country and the lives of his loyal subjects to the barbarous heathen. 4. For having protected, favored, and emboldened the Indians against his Majesty’s loyal subjects, never contriving, requiring, or appointing any due or proper means of satisfaction for their many invasions, robberies, and murders committed upon us. 5. For having, when the army of English was just upon the track of those Indians, who now in all places burn, spoil, murder and when we might with ease have destroyed them who then were in open hostility, for then having expressly countermanded and sent back our army by passing his word for the peaceable demeanor of the said Indians, who immediately prosecuted their evil intentions, committing horrid murders and robberies in all places, being protected by the said engagement and word past of him the said Sir William Berkeley, having ruined and laid desolate a great part of his Majesty’s country, and have now drawn themselves into such obscure and remote places and are by their success so emboldened and confirmed by their confederacy so strengthened that the cries of blood are in all places, and the terror and consternation of the people so great, are now become not only difficult but a very formidable enemy who might at first with ease have been destroyed. 6. And lately, when, upon the loud outcries of blood, the assembly had, with all care, raised and framed an army for the preventing of further mischief and safeguard of this his Majesty’s colony. 7. For having, with only the privacy of some few favorites without acquainting the people, only by the alteration of a figure, forged a commission, by we know not what hand, not only without but even against the consent of the people, for the raising and effecting civil war and destruction, which being happily and without bloodshed prevented; for having the second time attempted the same, thereby calling down our forces from the defense of the frontiers and most weakly exposed places. 8. For the prevention of civil mischief and ruin amongst ourselves while the barbarous enemy in all places did invade, murder, and spoil us, his Majesty’s most faithful subjects. Of this and the aforesaid articles we accuse Sir William Berkeley as guilty of each and every one of the same, and as one who has traitorously attempted, violated, and injured his Majesty’s interest here by a loss of a great part of this his colony and many of his faithful loyal subjects by him betrayed and in a barbarous and shameful manner exposed to the incursions and murder of the heathen. And we do further declare these the ensuing persons in this list to have been his wicked and pernicious councilors, confederates, aiders, and assisters against the commonalty in these our civil commotions. Sir Henry Chichley William Claiburne Junior Lieut. Coll. Christopher Wormeley Thomas Hawkins William Sherwood Phillip Ludwell John Page Clerke Robert Beverley John Cluffe Clerke Richard Lee John West Thomas Ballard Hubert Farrell William Cole Thomas Reade Richard Whitacre Matthew Kempe Nicholas Spencer Joseph Bridger John West, Hubert Farrell, Thomas Reade, Math. Kempe And we do further demand that the said Sir William Berkeley with all the persons in this list be forthwith delivered up or surrender themselves within four days after the notice hereof, or otherwise we declare as follows. That in whatsoever place, house, or ship, any of the said persons shall reside, be hid, or protected, we declare the owners, masters, or inhabitants of the said places to be confederates and traitors to the people and the estates of them is also of all the aforesaid persons to be confiscated. And this we, the commons of Virginia, do declare, desiring a firm union amongst ourselves that we may jointly and with one accord defend ourselves against the common enemy. And let not the faults of the guilty be the reproach of the innocent, or the faults or crimes of the oppressors divide and separate us who have suffered by their oppressions. These are, therefore, in his Majesty’s name, to command you forthwith to seize the persons above mentioned as traitors to the King and country and them to bring to Middle Plantation and there to secure them until further order, and, in case of opposition, if you want any further assistance you are forthwith to demand it in the name of the people in all the counties of Virginia.

| 1078 | Bailey Martin appears in the records in Rockingham Co., NC before 1800. He lived near Hogan's Creek and Little Troublesome Creek in the southeastern part of the county. He appears in the Rockingham County census in 1800 and 1810. He moved to Christian Co., KY around 1811 or 1812. In January 1811, he sold land to Isabel Young. Rockingham Co. Deed Book O, p. 23. Bailey Martin purchased 250 acres of land on the West Fork of the Red River in Christian County. The property included a mill. Bailey Martin died early in life in Christian Co., KY in October or November 1813. Christian County Will Book B, pp. 100-101. His wife Elizabeth is listed in the census in Christian County in 1820. Some researchers appear to confuse Bailey Martin with William B. Martin. On 3 Nov 1812, William B. Martin and his wife Patience sold 200 acres of land on the waters of the West Fork of the Red River in Christian County, Kentucky to William L. Wilson. Christian County, Kentucky, Deed Book D, p. 53-54. This land is in the same general area where Bailey Martin lived. The deed refers to William B. Martin as a resident of Logan County, Kentucky. William B. Martin apparently died in Logan County about 1815. Logan County, Kentucky, Order Book 6, p. 115. In the May term of 1815, Patience Martin was ordered by the court in Logan County to produce the will of William B. Martin. Id. In June, Patience Martin appeared in court and stated that she did not have the will. Logan County, Kentucky, Order Book 6, p. 125. In September, the will is finally presented and proven by the oath of a witness from Halifax Co., North Carolina. Logan County, Kentucky, Order Book 6, p. 141. | Martin, Bailey (I8512)

| 1083 | Benjamin and James Bennett first appear in the Pittsylvania County tax list in 1773 with their tithes charged to Wililam Bennett. This indicates that James and Benjamin were still minors at this time. James and Benjamin are first listed on their own in 1776. If this indicates that they had reached the age of majority, then we can estimate their birth year as 1755. | Bennett, Benjamin (I8910)
|
| 1084 | Benjamin and James Bennett first appear in the Pittsylvania County tax list in 1773 with their tithes charged to William Bennett. This indicates that James and Benjamin were still minors at this time. James and Benjamin are first listed on their own in 1776. If this indicates that they had reached the age of majority, then we can estimate their birth year as 1755. Since James & Benjamin first appear as minors the same year, and both are first listed individually on the same year, it is possible that James and Benjamin were twins. In the late 1770s and early 1780s, there was a large migration of families from Pittsylvania County to Montgomery County, Virginia. Among those moving were William Bennett, his sons Thomas, James and Benjamin, and Elijah Bennett, son of Thomas. William Bennett, Thomas Bennett, James Bennett, and Benjamin Bennett all appear on the 1782 personal property tax list of Montgomery County. Each one of these men is absent from the 1782 tax list of Pittsylvania County. Benjamin Bennett is listed adjacent to Meredith Smith on this tax list. In a 1780 Pittsylvania County deed, Thomas Bennett of Montgomery County, Virginia sold his interest in 100 acres of land to William Mitchell. (DB 6:70-71) This deed links the Montgomery County Bennetts to Pittsylvania County. Pittsylvania County researchers will recognize many other names on the Montgomery County tax list. Thomas Bennett, James Bennett, and Elijah Bennett were in the Montgomery County Militia from 1782-1784 in the company of Captain William Bobbett. The majority of persons in this company were from Pittsylvania County. Benjamin Bennett also appears in the militia list in the company of Captain Samders between 1782 & 1784. Thomas, Elijah, and James Bennett all return to Pittsylvania County by 1785. William and Benjamin did not. It is likely that William died in Montgomery County. A person by the name of Benjamin Bennett appears around this time in the records of Surry County, North Carolina. Stokes County was formed from Surry County in 1789. In 1784, Benjamin Bennett recorded a land entry for 100 acres of land in Surry County. Entry No. 2132. A survey was performed in 1787 and a land grant issued on 18 May 1789. Benjamin Bennett appears in the 1786 tax list of Surry County, NC in the same district as Meredith Smith and Elias Smith. The oral tradition of the descendants of Benjamin Bennett is that Benjamin was married to a sister of Meredith Smith and that they came to Stokes County from the Clinch Valley area of Virginia. An entry in a Moravian diary on 4 May 1783 records that Richard Bennett, son of Benjamin Bennett, was baptised and that the family had recently come from Virginia. (Adelaide L. Fries., M. A. , Editor, Bethania Diary, 1783, Records of the Moravians in North Carolina, Volume IV, 1780-1783, p. 1867 ) The 1775 tithe list of Pittsylvania County, Virginia shows Elias Smith with sons Meredith and John living in the same area as the Bennetts. Elias Smith is on the 1784 tax list of Stokes County, North Carolina. Elias, Meredith and John are all on the 1785 tax list along with Benjamin Bennett. The 1786 census of North Carolina shows Elias, Meredith, and John Smith and Benjamin Bennett. Elias Smith, Meredith Smith, John Smith and Benjamin Bennett all appear in the 1790 census of Stokes County, North Carolina. These records show that Benjamin Bennett of Stokes County, North Carolina migrated from Pittsylvania County, Virginia to Montgomery County, Virginia, and then to Stokes County, North Carolina with the family of Meredith Smith. Benjamin Bennett is named as an adjoining landowner in the land grant to William Sizemore dated 4 Oct 1808 for 50 acres on waters of Town Fork.. Land Grant No. 891. Benjamin Bennett is named as an adjoining landowner in the land grant to William Sizemore dated 4 Oct 1808 for 100 acres on Briery Fork of Town Fork..

| 1086 | Benjamin Bennett was born in 1801 according to census records. Of the four sons of Benjamin Bennett (b. 1755), the only one married at the time of Benjamin's birth was William Bennett. In the 1800 census, William Bennett is listed with female of the same age category, who is presumably his wife. Therefore, it is likely that William Bennett was married by 1800 and is the father of Benjamin. | Family F2815

| 1087 | Benjamin Bennett was born in 1801 and is tentatively identified here as the son of William Bennett. Benjamin Bennett's grandfather Benjamin had four sons: William, Thomas, Benjamin and Meredith. William and Thomas are the only two sons that were old enough to have a child in 1801. Thomas did not marry until 1803. By elimination, William is the most likely father of Benjamin. | Bennett, Benjamin (I9375)

| 1090 | Bennett Jackson Bennett is listed as Benjamin Jackson in the 1880 census in Buts Co., GA. It appears that the children by his second wife are listed first, followed by the children by his second wife. The entry for the last child appearing after the page break is Margaret Bennett. The names and ages of the children by his second wife are Sarah J (30), John (24) and Margaret Bennett (28). The names as ages closely match the wife children of Benjamin Jackson Bennett given in the 1870 census. Therefore, it is concluded that the entry for Benjamin Jackson is in fact Benjamin Jackson Bennett. | Bennett, Benjamin Jackson (I9404)
