• Notes

  Nancy Dew is tentatively identifed as the daughter of John Dew who died in Edgecombe Co. by 1812. Another John Dew lived in Halifax Co but is being ruled out based on his will. It seems unlikely that John Dew of Halifax is the father of Nancy. The name of Nancy’s parents are not known. She is possibly related to Elizabeth (Pare) Dew, who is named in her father’s will. Bethel Pare’s will also names Mary Harrison, wife of Jesse Harrison, and Winney Harrison, wife of Elisha Harrison. Jesse Harrison and Elisha Harrison are believed to be brothers of Gideon Harrison. Nancy Dew married Henry Harrsion in Halifax Co., NC on 8 Jan. 1821. John Pare was the bondsman. Nancy presumably died before 1850, when Henry appears in the census with his second wife Eliza. For future research, it is noted that James Dew and Allen Dew appear in the 1820 Halifax Co. census. JOHN DEW Petition (Sept., 1814) for a division of land, statinq the decd.
