Notes par Fereby Bird Trotman

[4-1-08.FTW] Between 1769 tax list and the next countywide extant Dobbs County tax list in 1780, there are several lists of many of the men in Dobbs County but very little information of a more specific and genealogically significant character. There are full lists of seven of the ten Dobbs militia companies that marched under the command of Governor Tryon to make war upon the Regulars, an expedition which ended in the Battle of Alamance in 1771. There are lists of ten Dobbs militia companies that marched to battle the Tories at the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge in February 1776. These name every man showing rank, function, days served, in what company, and how much pay, and some other occasional happenings. Also, commissioned officers are shown for Dobbs Minute Men Units and at least one Company of Continentals from Dobbs. Some of these companies are shown by name for other expeditions early in the Revolution. There is a list of freeholders of Dobbs who voted for members of the General Assembly in March 1779 (before Wayne County was formed from Western Dobbs in December, 1779. The 1780 tax list covers all of Dobbs that was left after Wayne was formed. It is not a poll tax list but a list of freeholders resident in Dobbs showing the valuation of their taxable estates. I believe there is not a single instance of a kinship relation being shown on this list between any two or more persons. Virtually the same list is found in the form of a tax assessment list to be paid in commodities during the year 1780. Thomas BIRD and Robert BIRD are listed among soldiers drafted from Captain Kennedy's Company of Dobbs County Militia July 20, 1777, to be sent out of the State on expeditions under Continental command. Benjamin BYRD and Jesse BYRD also had some Continental service. Benjamin also served in the War of the Regulation. Nathan BYRD was a drummer in Captain Jesse Cobb's company of Minutemen of Dobbs County in the Minutemen Battalion from the New Bern District participating in expeditions against Tory insurgents and the threat of British invasion in 1776 and thereafter. Nathaniel BYRD is at the same time serving in Captain Joseph Green's Company of Dobbs Militia on the expedition to the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge in February-March 1776. * Note that after the old Richard BYRD, Senior, became deceased, the one hitherto called Richard BYRD, Junior began to be called Richard BYRD, Senior. However the third Richard, grandson of the first, seems not to have taken up the Junior. In the same volume at p. 237 is a deed from Benjamin BYRD to John BYRD made Aug. 9, 1802, ...a tract or plantation in Lenior County on north side of Jumping Run containing by estimate 100 acres more or less...beginning at a red oak in Thomas BYRD's line...refers to Huckleberry Pond...refers to a part of a patent granted to Sammuel Thomas and says this particular land is part of two patents, one granted to Richard BYRD, the other to John Moseley. There are Mosely family deeds which tie in with these BYRD deeds and have also been saved. Witnesses Sam BYRD and Simon Herring. Page 239 is a quit claim deed from Fereby BYRD widow of Thomas BYRD. This one is made 5 Jan. 1815 who for consideration of $118 quit claims her right, title and interest in fifty nine acres of land, being one third part of my dower in the lands of my dead husband, Thomas BYRD to be laid off on the South or lower East of said land joining the lands of Jesse BYRD, deceased by a line South 70 east from said Herrings line to Falling Creek ...for and during the term of my natural life. Witness Sam BYRD and Wm. Croom. Page 255 of same source has a deed made 28 Feb 1804 between Richard BYRD and John BYRD of Lenoir Co to Rachel (BYRD - widow) Bryan for $2,000 sold a piece of land in Lenoir County on Falling Creek and Jumping Run being part of four surveys: ONE granted to Samuel Thomas; ONE to Richard BYRD, Senr.; ONE to Richard BYRD, Junr.; and ONE to John Aldridge (These are all identifiable I the State Landgrant records - CRH) beginning at a pine MILLER BYRDS corner on a small branch and runs with his line South 45° east 44 poles to a post oak his his corner, then with his other line North 88° east 198 poles to a maple at the run of Jumping Run Branch, thence down the same so far as will make 235 poles on a straight averse to a stake JESSE BYRD's corner, then with his line South 68° West 79 poles to THOMAS BYRD's line, then with his other line north 20° West 100 poles to a post oak his corner, thence South 70° West 160 poles, then north 20° West 132 poles to the mouth of the branch MILLER BYRD's Line, then up the various courses of the Branch, being MILLER BYRD's line to the beginning, containing 380 acres INCLUDING THE PLANTATION WHERE THE SAID RICHARD BYRD AND JOHN BYRD NOW LIVES, THE GRAVEYARD EXCEPTED. Page 251 of same Lenoir Colonial Records Vol. has a deed from MILLER BYRD TO WILLIAM HERRING, both of Lenoir County, Made 8 Nov. 1816...for $1,772 sells Herring 202 acres on North side of Neuse River and the lower side of Falling Creek, being part of TWO surveys: one granted to Samuel Thomas dated 1745 ONE granted to RICHARD BYRD, SENIOR date 1767. ....Samuel Mewborne's line mentioned...also Jumping Run and Falling Creek.

The deed records of present Johnston County are in good condition back to March 1759 and were burned at Lenoir Courthouse for all prior dates. BYRD Deeds from 1790 to 1818 have been reviewed successfully. *The above BRIGHT BYRD is ancestor of Mrs. Tera BYRD Averett, 100 North Ouida Street, Enterprise, Ala. 36330. From 1760 to 1776, the Provincial government required that certain information with respect to Wills probated and Administrations granted be sent by the Clerk of County Court to the Treasurer and many of these list showing the testator or intestate, the executors or administrators, the securities and their bonds and the date letters issued or the Court Term when probated are shown. The lists for Dobbs County from 1763 through 1774 have been examined and no testate or intestate of the name BYRD was found on any of them. Also there is nothing in the Grantee Index or other records found prior to 1792 to suggest the death of an adult male in the BYRD family within Johnston, 1746-1759 or Dobbs 1759-1792- who left an estate in land or in other property of consequence. The case papers of the Superior Court for the New Bern Districts and the Minutes Books of that Court have been gleaned for information on the BYRD family and these also show no death of a male BYRD as stated above for the period 1746 to 1792 when Nathan BYRD died. Consequently, this researcher can affirm with confidence that Richard BYRD, Sr. who was born about 1711 in Chowan County died in Lenoir in 1796 or 97, that his son Richard BYRD, Junior, born about 1752 in Johnston County (now Lenoir) died in 1818 in Johnston County (now Johnston) and that the latter had at the date he wrote his will in 1807 a young son named BRIGHT BYRD who was still of school age but who survived and became a prominent planter in Johnston County. ((John BYRD, b CA 1655 m(1) Mary and m(2) Rebecca Peterson He died in 1716. His youngest son, Richard, was born in or near 1711 and reached his majority in or about the year 1732, at which time he received a deed of sale from John BYRD and William BYRD. Richard married twice. The name of his first wife has not been found. But his son, Richard, Jr. was born of a second wife, Mary O'Dyrs (or Odyer), daughter of Dennis Odyer. Richard, Sr. was deceased by 1797. Richard, Jr. died in 1818. The wills of John BYRD (BIRD) and of Richard BYRD, Jr. are shown below. We are concerned with the two sons of Richard BYRD, Jr. who came to Dale County, Alabama, in the 1820s from North Carolina, namesly, Bright BYRD and Redding BYRD.

The deed records of present Johnston County are in good condition back to March 1759 and were burned at Lenoir Courthouse for all prior dates. BYRD Deeds from 1790 to 1818 have been reviewed successfully. *The above BRIGHT BYRD is ancestor of Mrs. Tera BYRD Averett, 100 North Ouida Street, Enterprise, Ala. 36330. From 1760 to 1776, the Provincial government required that certain information with respect to Wills probated and Administrations granted be sent by the Clerk of County Court to the Treasurer and many of these list showing the testator or intestate, the executors or administrators, the securities and their bonds and the date letters issued or the Court Term when probated are shown. The lists for Dobbs County from 1763 through 1774 have been examined and no testate or intestate of the name BYRD was found on any of them. Also there is nothing in the Grantee Index or other records found prior to 1792 to suggest the death of an adult male in the BYRD family within Johnston, 1746-1759 or Dobbs 1759-1792- who left an estate in land or in other property of consequence. The case papers of the Superior Court for the New Bern Districts and the Minutes Books of that Court have been gleaned for information on the BYRD family and these also show no death of a male BYRD as stated above for the period 1746 to 1792 when Nathan BYRD died. Consequently, this researcher can affirm with confidence that Richard BYRD, Sr. who was born about 1711 in Chowan County died in Lenoir in 1796 or 97, that his son Richard BYRD, Junior, born about 1752 in Johnston County (now Lenoir) died in 1818 in Johnston County (now Johnston) and that the latter had at the date he wrote his will in 1807 a young son named BRIGHT BYRD who was still of school age but who survived and became a prominent planter in Johnston County. ((John BYRD, b CA 1655 m(1) Mary and m(2) Rebecca Peterson He died in 1716. His youngest son, Richard, was born in or near 1711 and reached his majority in or about the year 1732, at which time he received a deed of sale from John BYRD and William BYRD. Richard married twice. The name of his first wife has not been found. But his son, Richard, Jr. was born of a second wife, Mary O'Dyrs (or Odyer), daughter of Dennis Odyer. Richard, Sr. was deceased by 1797. Richard, Jr. died in 1818. The wills of John BYRD (BIRD) and of Richard BYRD, Jr. are shown below. We are concerned with the two sons of Richard BYRD, Jr. who came to Dale County, Alabama, in the 1820s from North Carolina, namesly, Bright BYRD and Redding BYRD. A chapter of genealogy has been devoted to each - TBA))
