Duplin County, North Carolina Will Book A, p. 209
In the name of God, Amen. The twenty first day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety seven. I Stephen Herring of the County of Duplin in the State of North Carolina, being aged and in a weak and low state of bodily health but of sound and disposing mind and memory, Blessed be God, and considering the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die Do make and ordain this my last will and testament, in manner and form following that is to say. I recommend my soul to God who gave it me and my body to the earth from whence it came to be decently buried at the discretion of my executors hereinafter named. And as to such worldly estate, as God hath been pleased to bless me with in this life, I give and dispose of in manner and form following. First it is my will and desire that all my just debts and funeral charges be duly paid by my executors, for which purpose it is my will that they sell such part of the crop as may be conveniently spared, and if not sufficient to hire out immediately such of the negros as they may think proper for that purpose till sufficient is raised thereby to discharge all said debts. Second it is my will and desire that the plantation whereon I now live and the lands thereto belonging and adjoining be equally divided by a line beginning on the main run of Goshen Swamp and running thence out by the lower corner of the New Run field, and so on a straight line to the back line, so as to divide equally in quantity and my son Stephen Bright Herring to have the lower part joining the Hodges line, to him and his heirs and assigns forever. And that my son Alexander Herring shall have the other part which includes my houses and plantation, to him and his heirs and assigns forever. Reserving nevertheless the whole of my son Alexander's part to the use and benefit of my wife Sarah Herring during her life, and also the privlige of cutting timber on the other part. It is also my will and desire that if either of my said two sons should die without legal issue, that in such case the other brother shall inherit the whole of said land hereby divided between them. Third it is my will and desire that my negro slaves to wit, Caisar, Bet, Agga, and Ned by and remain with my wife Sarah Herring on the plantation, in her service and for her use during her life. It is also my will and desire that all my household furniture of every kind and all my plantation tools of every kind and all the stock of every kind, that is horses, cattle, sheep, hoggs, etc be left with my wife Sarah Herring on the plantation, for her use during her life (except such articles as shall be herein after otherwise disposed of or bequeathed. And after my said wife decease it is my will and desire that my said negro man Ned shall be given to my daughter Aletha Harrell, for the use of her children to them and to their heirs and assigns forever. And it is also my will and desire that the other negro slaves to wit, Ceasar, Bet, and Agga shall not be sold but may chose which of my children each of them will live with during their life and all the household furniture, plantation tools and stock of every kind which shall be found of that which I have hereby left for the use of my said wife during her life, shall immidiately after her cecease be sold by my executors at their discrition and the proceeds of said sale to be equally divided into two equal shares and one of said shares shall be given to my grandson Elisha Herring son of Samuel Herring to him and his heirs forever. And the other share shall be given to the children of my daughter Alithea Harrell to be equally divided amongst them for their use, to them and their heirs forever. Item I give and bequeath to my son Samuel Herring five shillings, Sterling. Item I give and bequeath to my daughter Alathea Harrell five shillings Sterling. Item I give and bequeath to my daugher Catey Croom five shillings Sterling. Item I give and bequeath to the children of my daughter Catey Croom, my negro man Jim to be equally divided amongst them all to them and their heirs and assigns forever. And whereas I heretofore in the lifetime of my daughter Sally Glisson had intended to give her my negro boy Bob which intention in her lifetime was not performed and since her death her husband, Daniel Glisson requested that whatever I intended to give to my said daughter Sally Glisson his wife, that I would now give to her children and not to him. And I have thought it may be now to the interest and advantage of the children of my said daughter Sally Glisson to give them in liew of said Bob two negro girls to them and their heirs forever with all their increase for which purpose it is my will and desire that my son Stephen B.Herring shall purchase for the children of my said daughter Sally Glisson two negro girls one about 14 years old immediately after my decease and one about 8 years old about two years afterwards and to deliver the said two negro girls to Daniel Glisson the father of said children for their use to them and their heirs jointly forever. And I also will and ordain that the said Stephen B. Herring upon the delivery of said two negro girls to the said Daniel Glisson shall take his the said Daniel Glissons receipt and discharge in full for all demands of legacies or portions etc due from my Estate to him unto the children of my said daughter Sally Glisson. And it is further my will and desire that if the said Daniel Glisson should refuse to receive such two negro girls and give such discharge thereon or should sue for said Bob or Squire or any other slave or part of my estate that in such case my son Stephen B. Herring retain the said two negro girls till such suit be determined and in case said Glisson should make any recovery for Bob or Squire, then the said two negro girls shall be the property of the said Stephen B. Herring and his heirs and assigns forever. And whereas heretofore I did give to my grandson Bryan Glisson a young bay mare I now hereby raifie and confirm the same to him with all her increase forever. Item I give and bequeath to my daughter Pearsis Glisson my negro wench Jenny, and the children of the said Jenny as follows to wit, to my grand daughter Sally Glisson I give my negro boy Jack to her and her heirs forever and to my grandson Huey Glisson the first living child that the negro wench may have to him and his heirs forever and to my grand daughter Charity Glisson the second living child that the said Jinny may bring to her and her heirs forever. And to my grand daughter Hella Glisson the third living child the said Jinny may have to her and her heirs forever. And the said Jinny and all the future issue which she may have shall be to my said daughter Pearsis Glisson to her and her heirs and assigns forever. Item I give and bequeath to my son Stephen Bright Herring my two negro boys, Bob and Davey for which he is to purchase the two negro girls for Sally Glissons children, before mentioned in lieu of Bob, which had been intended for my said daughter Sally Glisson in her life time and also my feather bed & furniture to him and his h eirs and assigns forever.

Killed by Lightning- The inhabitants of our town were deeply shocked and pained on Thursday evening last, by the sudden and fearful death by a lightning stroke, of Mr. Daniel Glisson, an estimable young gentleman of our community who had just attained his majority. Mr. Glisson had, we understand, driven into town for his mail on the afternoon in question, and was passing on the street just in front of Mr. H. F. Newbury/Es store, when a bolt struck a tree under which he was passing, killing him instantly. His body was conveyed to the residence of his brother-in-law, Mr. M.cEvans, where the funeral services were held on Friday afternoon by Rev. J.N. Stallings. Mr. Glisson leaves his aged parents and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his untimely end. (note: probably son of Benjamin Bennet Glisson & Mary Glisson of Sampson then Duplin Co. NC.)

HINES, William & wife, Elizabeth
1) Petition of William HINES, of Wayne Co. states he was united in the bonds of matrimony to Elizabeth GRADDY in Jan. 1825. He well hoped to derive happiness and comfort, but soon after their marriage his said wife became very perverse and contrary, refusing to your petitioner the rights and privileges of a
husband. She would often absent herself from his bed and board for several weeks and carried with her the property of your petitioner, which she pretenedt to claim as her own. When at his home, she utterly neglected to attend to the well management of the kitchen household affairs and other duties incident to a married woman. She continued to conduct herself in this manner,a nd in early 1832, left his bed and board and removed herself to the state of Kentucky where she now resides. A few days past he received a letter from the said Elizabeth couched in the most insulting manner by declaring that she would not go back with him if he came there for her and Prays for a divorce. She gave a strong intimation of an intention to marry again. Prays for a divorce.

Petition To Free John Barfield In the Year of 1848 To His Excellency William A. Graham Governor &c

The petition of the undersigned Citizens of the State and

particularly of the Counties of Wayne, Sampson, Duplin, Johnston &

Cumberland respectfully sheweth unto your Excellency that John Barfield

of the County of Wayne is now lying in Jail awaiting execution under

sentence of death for the murder of Alfred Flowers.

Your petitioners shew unto your Excellency that (as they believe)

the homicide of said Flowers occured in a drunken brawl, that the liquor

which caused the intoxication of said Barfield was furnished by said

Flowers who knew the habits of said Barfield and his excessive fondness

for liquor, that Flowers was a man of violent and turbulent disposition

and by his conduct greatly excited and aggravated the said Barfield.

Your petitioners further show unto your Excellency that the

prosecution of said Barfield has cost him his whole estate and that he

has suffered the pains of solitary imprisonment for nearly three years,

they further beg leave to inform your Excellency that the people of the

said Counties are very generally of the opinion that the said Barfield

has suffered sufficiently to atone for his rash & criminal act; that he

is sencerely penitent for his offence and finally that some of the

bereaved relatives of the deceased would be willing that the said

Barfield should be exempted from the ignominious death of the gallows,

provided he leave the State, which he would be willing to do.

For all these reasons pray your Excellency to extend your

clemency to the said Barfield by a pardon on such terms as your

Excellency may think fit to impose.

Ref: Thomas Summerell Sr of coastal NC and his descendants.

Sons were: Edward, Jesse, Jacob Sr, Flowers, and Thomas Jr. Other spellings of surname in the records are Sumrell, Summerlin, Sumrall.

All the sons listed above are referred to in the records with the Summerlin spelling by 1790. I am particularly interested in Jesse Summerell/Summerlin who married Mary Glisson, daughter of Dennis & Mary Glisson. Jesse appears in the the 1760s tax records of

Pitt Co NC. The James Hines text on the family is the source for the marriage between Mary Glisson and Jesse Summerlin. Mary

Summerlin next appears in Duplin County NC records in 1786 and later years. She is listed in the Duplin County Court of Pleas records

as having "three suffering orphans" in her household.

Copy of this bible in possession of Mairlyn Davis, email address moose_205@yahoo.com-
Martha Gleason married Isaac Middleton in Duplin Co. NC.  Bible states she had brother Hugh and brother Brinkley and sister Elizabeth (Betty) that married John Norman.  It states that Martha was born in Scotland and that her mothers maiden name was Dennison.  (note: I am trying to get copy of this bible record.  Martha Gleason obviously should be Martha Glisson.  Facts about the listings in this bible are that Martha married Isaac Middleton and they went to Henry Co. TN by 1834 when Isaac died.  Elizabeth married John Norman who was son of Richard Norman & Martha Middleton.  Elizabeth & John married 1828 in Duplin Co. NC then went to Henry Co. TN by at least 1835.  Brinkley Glisson married 1831 in Henry Co. TN.  There was an H. Gleason in 1860 Census age 41 living alone in Henry Co. TN but No other info on Hugh Glisson.  This could be him.)  I previously was told that Elizabeth was dau of Daniel Glisson & 2nd wife Elizabeth Kornegay but I doubt that with this new information.  I now believe that Martha, Elizabeth, Brinkley and Hugh were siblings but parents unknown.  There are several of right age that I have no info on that could be their father in Duplin Co. NC.  Another possibility is That James Glisson of Martin Co. NC who went to Weakley and Henry Co. TN was their father.  But I do not think this James ever went to Duplin Co. NC.  He was son of Isaac Glisson &  gson of Dennis & Mary Glisson.  This James did leave a will in Henry Co. TN listing some of his children.  A Martha Mcdditen could not read could be Martha Middleton, and listed a Elizabeth Neruecu could not read could be Elizabeth Norman.  Also listed was a  Dennis Glisson, heirs of Nancy F. Lake, Boddy Leesley could not read, James Glisson.  No Brinkley and no Hugh Glisson.  Dennis Glisson & Brinkley Glisson and Martha Middleton lived next to each other in Henry Co. TN and seemed to be connected.  I even originally had Brinkley as son of James.  I will update this as I get new info. I now believe that the above were children of James Glisson. Also other siblings.

Ref: David Edwards (c1764-1839) and Lydia --- of Wayne Co, NC

Submitted by Marty & Carla Grant I (Marty Grant) am a 5^th Great Grandson of David and Lydia (---) Edwards.

David Edwards was born ca 1763/64 per his age of "71" as given on the 1835 Pensioners Census. In an affidavit dated 22 Aug 1832, David Edwards stated he was 69 years old. That would work out to a birth year of either 1762 or 1763. Combine this with the 1835 census, and you get ca 1763 as a likely birth year for him.

I don't know where David Edwards was born, though the first record I have for his parents was 1769 in Dobbs County, now Lenoir County, so he may have been born there, somewhere in the vicinity of present day Kinston (where I currently reside, coincidentally).

David Edwards a proven child of John Edwards, and was named in his father's Will of 1810.

David Edwards was a Revolutionary War Soldier, and a Pensioner. His pension file contains some information about his service. I'll present a summarized version here. He was drafted for 12 months in 1781 or 1782, under Captain Thomas Shute at Kinston, NC, "his place of residence". He stayed at Kinston for a number of days, then marched to Elizabeth (Elizabethtown) in Bladen County, then to Ashpole, then to Peedee, SC. Then he marched to Deep River, NC where they built a Fort. Then they marched to Haw River. Then they marched to Hillsboro, NC. His year of service ended while he was in Hillsboro, and he was discharged. He named several officers he served under: Major Bennett Crafton, His Captain at first was Captain Shute, his Lieut. was named Bilbary, and Ensign David Glisson. Orderly Sergeant was John M--gan (Morgan?). In Elizabeth (Elizabethtown) he was placed under the command of Captain Norris Raiford and continued under him until discharged at Hillsboro, NC. Further, in his pension application, he stated he was 69 years old, and he was impaired by numerous ills of life. He mentioned James McDaniel as a fellow soldier who knew him and could vouch for his service. His pension request was granted. (Revolutionary War Pension File - S6812 David Edwards 1832, National Archives).
