Generation Three


6 . ANN 3 ORMOND ( William2 , William1 ) was born in Greene County, North Carolina, on 14 October 1764 (Ibid.) (Will of
William Ormond.). She married John Harper, son of Alexander Harper and Margaret Kilpatrick, in Greene County, North Carolina, on
28 February 1784 (James Ormond Copy Book.). Ann died on 6 April 1832 at age 67 (John James Ormond Family Bible, Dobbs
County Bible Records, by William L. Murphy.).
According to the will of William Ormond, Ann's brother, she and John Harper had nine children so four are missing.

JOHN HARPER was born circa 1760. John died on 7 November 1827 (James Ormond Copy Book.). Something is not right. I think
this line is correct, but a family group sheet has this John Harper married to Sidney Ann Margaret Ormond daughter of William (son of
Thomas and Margaret).
I have his ca birth as where he was named in the courtsuit as probably the 3rd son.
John was a son of Alexander Harper. In John's will, which I have not seen, there is mention of a slave coming to him from the estate of
William Harper deceased but gave no clue as to his relationship.
John was on the 1816 Greene Co Tax List - in Capt Pope's District - 360 acres - $1020 - 8 black poles - no white indicating he was
over age. There was a Francis just below him who could have been his son Francis but that Francis also had no white poles. There was
also a John Jr probably a son of John Sr. It appears most of the men in Capt Hooker's District were descendants of Alexander I.

MARGARET (PEGGY) GRIMSLEY was born in Dobbs County, North Carolina, on 20 January 1771 (Ibid.). Margaret died on 13
November 1844 in Greene County, North Carolina, at age 73 (Ibid.). The Thomas Ormond Prayer Book gives Peggy's mother as
Nanney not Ida.
The Elias Franklin Albritton Bibles gives her name as Ann. I am inclined to think Ida is incorrect.
The 10 known children of Thomas 3 Ormond and Margaret (Peggy) Grimsley all born in Greene County, North Carolina, were as
follows:
  + 19. i. WILLIAM 4 ORMOND, born 18 October 1799; married Mary (Ormond); married Cordelia (Dilly)
        Coward; married Esther Dixon; married Margaret Roxbury.
  20. ii. JOHN ORMOND was born on 26 April 1801 (Ibid.). John died on 20 September 1824 at age 23 (Will
        of Thomas Ormond, Written 9 August 1820, recorded 15 September 1833 .) (John Jones and Betsy
        Ormond Edwards Family Bible.).

         It is not clear which John has the death date in the Thomas Ormond Prayer Book.

         OBIT OF CORNELIA MARY ORMOND
        Copy of the original found in the papers of Frederick Lee Edwards.
        In Memoriam
        Cornelia Mary ORMOND was born in Greene County, N.C. August 21, 1847; and died at the home of
        her niece, Mrs. H. L. WILKERSON, near Willow Springs, Wake County, November 8, 1928.
        At the age of 14 she joined Ormond's Chapel Methodist Church and was a consistent member until her
        death. For the past ten years her membership has been with Fuquay Springs Methodist Church.
        On May 17, 1866, she was married to J. H. C. TAYLOR. Though she had no children of her own she
        was a foster mother to two-orphaned children-Addie M. EDWARDS
        (Mrs. H. L. WILKERSON) and Willie T. ORMOND of Norfolk, Va.
        Mrs. TAYLOR was a faithful and loving wife and mother, devoted to the best interests of her family
        and community. She was always present at her church service when it was possible to be there. For the
        past two years sickness has kept her away. Her patience and cheerfulness during her long illness was
        noticed by all who visited her and it was a benediction to be with her.
        She was the founder of Union Chapel Sunday School, near Hookerton, and acted as
        superintendent for several years. She also served as president of the Hookerton Woman's
        Missionary Society. Since Mrs. TAYLOR has been a member of the Fuquay Springs Woman's
        Missionary Society she has been an example in faithfulness to her obligations as a member. Not being
        able to attend she would often write a letter of a beautifully worded prayer to be read at the meetings
        and we realized that she was with us in spirit.
        We shall miss these testimonies of her abiding love and of her faithfulness to the Great
        Commission of our Saviour to "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."
        We extend to her loved ones our deep love and sympathy and commend them to Christ the
        Comforter.

James was called Col. James in the Raleigh Register and was a member of the State Legislature.
The only known child of Susannah 4 Ormond and James Harper was:
  148. i. SUSANNAH JAMES 5 HARPER, born 8 December 1833 in Greene County, North Carolina; married
        William Thomas Dixon. (see # 60.).

39 . PENINAH 4 ORMOND ( Watkins3 , William2 , William1 ) was born in Greene County, North Carolina, on 23 April 1812 (Will of
Watkins Ormond, written 1 September 1827, probated November Term 1829 .) (William and Watkins Ormond Family Bible.). She
married James Hall before 1844 (William L. Murphy, Greene County, NC Estate Records - 1839 - 1845 .).
I do not see them on the 1850 Census.

The only known child of Peninah 4 Ormond and James Hall was:
  149. i. JAMES W. 5 HALL.
        Note from Brenda Stocks who posted this letter from the Collection of Pattie McKay Dunn.
        Since all the papers were Ormond, I suspect this was addressed to Thomas C.Ormond son of Watkins
        Ormond and Betsy Edwards Ormond. In the letter J.W. Hall also speaks about Uncle John (Thomas
        Ormond's brother?) and sends his best to Aunt Margaret(Thomas Ormond's wife was named
        Margaret). He asked for prayers for himself and Sam. (his brother?) I
        checked the rosters for the 6th Alabama Reg. whch was from Henry Co., Ala. In Co. A there was a
        James W. Hall and a Samuel J. Hall.
         In Co. M there were four Hall brothers: John W. (died 1862 in Richmond), Samuel A. ( died 1862 at
        Sharpsburg), Lewis M. (died of Typhoid at Richmond in 1862) and Abram who survived the war.
        These four from Co. M were sons of William
        Hall and Caroline "Callie" Nelson "b. Georgia or NC". I don't know which J.W. the letter is from, but I
        would lean toward the two from Co. A....it seems like if he had 3 brothers, he would ask for prayers for

        all four of them, not just himself and Sam. Anyway, I don't know how to identify the letter for the post
        except to say it was written by J.W. Hall of Henry
        County, Ala. to his Uncle Thomas (probably Ormond) of Greene Co., NC. Any way, here is the letter.
        Let me know what you think I should do.
        The letter is in the possession of Pattie McKay Dunn of Rocky Mount.
         Manassas Junction, Va.
         July 7th, 1861
        _
        Dear Uncle Thomas,
         I have been thinking for several days I would write to you but for the want of an opportunity could
        not do it. Therefore I hope you will excuse me for not writing sooner. I have been expecting to get
        some letters for the last 8 or 10 days from North Carolina but have now got hopes I will in a few days
        as I have written some there that I am more than anxious to hear from.I
        wrote to Uncle John sometime since and to my Spicy, also at Carolina Seminary. I want you to ask him
        if you should get this if they reached their destination (Carolina Seminary). I make this request of you
        because the mails are so irregular and when you write to me please let me know. I wrote to him about
        them but received only one or two letters from him since I have
        been in the army, and I think I got both of them before I wrote my Spicy. I am growing very impatient.
        Am fearful that I shall not hear from her soon. The War is interfering with my arrangements in that
        particular very much. Uncle John I suppose will tell you who my Spicy is, but I will have to keep you
        in suspense for the present. We have been in service about two months,
        the time has passed away rapidly with me, but just to look ahead and think that I have ten months to
        spend in Wars yet seems to me like a long time. I have not enjoyed myself so well since I have been in
        service as I did when I was in the Old North State, and do not expect to see so much pleasure any more
        until I take another trip to see you all. Can not tell when that will
        be. If the War should close soon it will not be a great while. First if I should be spared and I hope I
        will live to see the present troubles which are abroad in our land come to an end, I intend to settle
        myself have my Spicy's name changed to Hall if I can and hope that the remainder of my days will be
        the happiest part of my life. I fear that I have tired you with so much foolishness so I will branch off on
        something else.I have no news at all but what you have heard before this. The Battles which were
        fought near Manassas on the 18th and 21st of July our Regiment was not in either of them. The last
        battle that was fought was said to be the longest that was fought in America. There are so many reports
        about the number killed and
        wounded on both sides, It is a hard matter to find out anything definite about it.Taking everything in
        consideration I like soldiering very well, although it is anything but a decent occupation. We are faring
        very well at this time. Some two weeks ago we had to take shelter in the forest
        _________________(can't read this line)________________
        and crackers during the time. Sam and I are both well have been well all the time except for colds. We
        are now in Camps about 4 miles from Manassas. This section of country is very mountainous and I
        suppose from every appearance it must be healthy. We have as good water to drink as the Southern
        Confederacy can produce. I want you to let me know where Peel is
        and all about him when you write. Please answer this immediately as you have no idea how much
        pleasure it affords me to receive a letter from the Old North State. Our company numbers about one
        hundred at the present. Fifteen young men have joined us in the last two weeks. They came from
        Henry County Ala. Do hope and trust the War will close soon. Dear Uncle hope you will not forget to
        pray for the soldiers. I would ask you especially to send up your petitions for Sam and myself. Tell
        Cousin W.T. Dixon I will write to him soon. Give my best love to all and especially Aunt Margaret.
        Goodbye for the
        present.
         I remain your affect. nephew,
         J. W. Hall
        P.S. Please excuse all mistakes as I had to write in great haste. Direct your letter to Manassas Junction

January 1875 in Greene County, North Carolina, at age 52 (Ibid.). His body was interred in Greene County, North Carolina, in
Ormond Cemetery.
There may have been a daughter Margaret A. There is no year of birth in the Bible and it may have been the mother's entry.

MARGARET ANN EDWARDS was born in Greene County, North Carolina, on 17 December 1825 (John Jones and Betsy

age 65 (Ibid.). His body was interred in Greene County, North Carolina, in Ormond Cemetery.
The birth record in the William/Watkins Ormond Bible has a different birth date than the John James Ormond Bible and given he
was not in his father's will, he must have been born after his father died. The John James Ormond gives his birthdate as 1826 but I am
going with the older Bible and later date.

Holy Bible , (Holbrook and Fessenden's Sterotype Edition, Brattleborough, Vermont 1825); Mrs. Frances (Francis) Millett, Deep Run,
Lenoir County, North Carolina,, (1993).). Rebecca died circa 1863. Egbert Rouse Rouse feels that Rebecca Phillips was the first wife
of John and I agree. We base this theory on the following data:
1. Will of William Phillip who calls James E. Harper my cousin
2. Stephen C. Phillips gave James E. Harper land for love and affection
3. Rebecca was listed with JEF on the 1860 census but Sidney was listed in 1870. Argent Phillips died in Greene Co and probably
lived with JEF and Rebecca who was her sister.
The two known children of John Elizabeth Fitzhugh 5 Harper and Rebecca Hart Phillips were as follows:
  175. i. JAMES E. 6 HARPER was born circa 1862.
         William Phillips in his Will remembered several cousins including my grandmother and James E.
        Harper son of JEF. William Phillips's uncle, Stephen C. Phillips, gave a farm to James E. Harper for
        love and affection. I have been trying to figure out for years how James E. Harper was a cousin.
        Egbert Rouse sent the information that he thought Rebecca was the daughter of William and Elizabeth
        D. Carr Phillips and the scant evidence agrees with this.

88 . ADELAIDE SARAH 5 ALBRITTON ( Margaret4Ormond , Thomas3 , William2 , William1 ) was born in Greene County, North
Carolina, on 13 August 1841 (Levi Alexander Mewborn - William Pugh Family Bible, in possession of Thomas Richard Mewborn, Jr.
and the Family Sheets in possession of Martha Mewborn Marble.). She married Levi Alexander Mewborn, son of Lemuel Hardy
Mewborn Sr. and Louisa Kilpatrick, in Hookerton, Greene County, North Carolina, on 6 August 1861 (Ibid.). Adelaide died on 16
May 1907 in Kinston, Lenoir County, North Carolina, at age 65 (Ibid.).

LEVI ALEXANDER MEWBORN was born in Greene County, North Carolina, on 23 October 1829 (Ibid.) (Lemuel Hardy
Mewborn Family Bible, in possession of Unknown, Last in possession of Mary Louise Mewborn and her brother Thomas Warren
Mewborn of Grifton, NC in 1977 when they showed it to Ima Mewborn of Farmville, NC. Ima copied the Bible at that time.). He
married Mary Elizabeth Kilpatrick, daughter of Bryan Kilpatrick and Elizabeth Burney, in Pitt County, North Carolina, on 4 May 1856
(Levi Alexander Mewborn - William Pugh Family Bible.) ( The American Advocate, abstracted in the NCGJ, February 87 by
Katherine K. Walls , 29 May 1856 - MARRIED - In Pitt County, on the 1st instant, Mr. Levi Mewborn of this county to Miss Elizabeth
Kilpatrick, daughter of the late Bryan Kilpatrick.). Levi died on 17 August 1903 in Kinston, Lenoir County, North Carolina, at age 73
(Levi Alexander Mewborn - William Pugh Family Bible.). His body was interred on 18 August 1903 in Kinston, Lenoir County,
North Carolina, in Maplewood Cemetery (Lenoir County, NC Cemetery Records, abstracted by Martha Mewborn Marble, Heritage
Place, LCC, Kinston, Lenoir County, North Carolina.). Levi was born on a Friday. According to a letter written by Joshua Mewborn in
1969, this Levi was called "Big Levi" by members of the family and his uncle was called "Rich Levi". A great grandson, Sam
Mewborn, said Levi and Adelaide lived on the Albritton farm near Hookerton in Greene County until her father's death at which time
the land was divided. They then moved to Stoneyton Creek in Lenoir County. At the same time some of the Kilpatricks, Graingers,
and Canadys who were neighbors in Greene County became neighbors in Lenoir County. It is not known why they all moved at the
same time and to the same place. Levi and Adelaide later moved to Kinston and lived at 207 Peyton Ave.
Levi served as a 2nd Jr. Lt. in Capt. Rountree's Company, Clark's Special Battn. where he appears on a Receipt Roll for pay from Jan
21 Feb 19 1862. Records at the U.S. Archives show he served the following dates: 1 July - 23 Sept 1862; Jan and Feb 1863; July and
Aug 1863; May and June 1863; and Sept Dec 1863. In May and June he was detailed to carry off horses. In Nov and Dec of 1863 he
was detailed to the Orange County Courthouse in Virginia. He was admitted to the General C.S.A. Hospital in Charlottesville, Va on
25 Dec 1863 and returned to duty on 30 Dec. His admissions card said he was admitted for Iwf. Fev. Quo. He appeared on a receipt
roll 2 Nov 1864 for clothing. He was promoted to Corporal 23 July 1864. During the rest of the Civil War he served with Capt.
Stephen B. Evans' Company of the Partisan Rangers, N.C. Volunteers also known as Co. B 5th N.C. Calvery. Information from
another Muster Roll reveals he was 6'1" and was born in Lenoir County and was aged 33 on 1 July 1867. According to some of the
records in the Archives, Levi was in two places at once.
One story has come down the family regarding this couple during the Civil War. It seems Levi was home on leave when Union
Soldiers arrived at his home and requested to come in. Levi had hidden in the attic and Adelaide met them at the door with a gun.
When they demanded to go into the house she threatened to shoot them. They must have believed her as they left without causing any
problems.
Levy attended St. Mary's Episcopal Church but Adelaide grew up in the Hookerton Christian Church and elected to remain with this
denomination after her marriage attending Gordon Street Christian Church. This was not the last time a Mewborn man in this branch
of the family attended St. Mary's and married a wife who was a member of the Disciples of Christ Church who refused to attend the
Episcopal Church.
Levi must have had some talent for furniture making as a couch has come down this family that was made by Levi. Having courted on
this couch, I can state that it is not very comfortable.
This compiler has a quilt Adelaide made probably in her later years as it is in perfect condition. The cousins, Connie and Peggy
Mewborn, gave it to me. Peggy Mewborn Briley has several old and used quilts Adelaide made given to her by LuLang Mewborn
MacKenzie.
From information in the JOHN TULL PAPERS - in the possession of Capt. Lee Edwards of Kinston, N.C. 1. Levi A. Mewborn owed
John Tull in 1862 - $10.80 for 1200 bricks and $2.00 for repairing a wagon 2. Levi A. Mewborn owed John Tull in 1866 - $23.06
for lumber 3. Levi A. Mewborn signed a promisory note to John Tull 1 Nov 1867 for $300
Both died at their home on Peyton Ave. and Levi was buried with Masonic honors. He was a member of St. John's Lodge having
become a member in 1852. A walking cane with the Masonic Emblem, a gift from his brother-in-law Alpheus Albritton, is in the
possession of his great grandaughter, Martha Mewborn Marble.
Levi and Adelaide had four sons and one daughter. Until recently, it was thought they only had three sons and indeed an old tin type

had the sons incorrectly identified for years.
OBIT: Kinston Free Press - MR. LEVI MEWBORN DEAD - Mr. L. A. Mewborn, Sr. died at his home on east Payton avenue this
morning at 4 o'clock. He has been ill for some time with a complication of diseases and his age militated against his recovery. Mr.
Mewborn was born in this county, near Institute, 74 years ago and has lived in the county since, for a long time past in Kinston. He was
a representative citizen and was generally loved for his genial good nature and was familiarly known as "Uncle Levy" by a wide circle
of intimate friends. For the past six months his health has been such that he was compelled to stay closely at his home. He was one of
the oldest members of St. John's Lodge, No. 4 A.F. & A. M. having become a member of the lodge in 1852 and will be buried with
Masonic honors tomorrow. Mr. Mewborn leaves a widow and three sons, Messrs. Will E., T. W., and Mark Mewborn and a host of
relatives in this city and county. The funeral will be conducted from his late residence at 207 east Peyton avenue tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock by Rev. J. H. Griffith, Jr. rector of St. Mary's Episcopal church, of which Mr. Mewborn was a member, assisted by Rev.
Edward Wooten, of Wilmington, chaplain of Mr. Mewborn's company in the Civil War.
Quite a large crowd attended the funeral of Mr. L. A. Mewborn this morning. The last rites were conducted by Rev. Edward Wooten,
of Wilmington. The Masonic ceremony was very impressively conducted by the members of St. John's Lodge, No.4.
NOTE: Egbert Rouse thought it was most interesting that the chaplain of his Civil War Company assisted at the funeral. I agree, but
have to admit, this tidbit had always flown over my head.
OBIT: Kinston Free Press - DEATH OF MRS. LEVI MEWBORN - Mrs. Adalaide Sarah Mewborn, relict of the late Levi Alexander
Mewborn, and mother of our townsmen, Wm. E., Thomas W., and Mark Mewborn passed at her home on Peyton avenue after a short
and painful illness of malarial fever and gastritis. Mrs. Mewborn was born in Greene county sixty-six years ago and was the daughter
of James and Margaret Albritton long time residents of Greene County. When but 20 years of age, August 6th 1861, she plighted her
troth to Mr. Levi Mewborn just as he had enlisted his services in the cause of the southland, and for forty odd years was not only the
true wife and helpmate, but a loving mother and constant companion to her children who cannot but rise up and call her blessed. Her
devotion to her boys as she so sweetly called them, was something beautiful, while in turn they ministered to her every want with that
consideration and love which only the true man can bestow. Mrs. Joshua T. Aldridge of this city is the only surviving sister. Mrs.
Mewborn was a consistent member of the Christian church. The funeral service was held this afternoon at 3 o'clock from her late
residence, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. P. B. Hall, and the remains interred in Maplewood cemetery.

From Annie
My direct ancestor was Wm. McCoy and Betsy Ormond's daughter Cordelia C. McCoy (b. 1827), who married Redden Richardson of
Craven Co. 1844, and moved to Alabama after his death at end of Civil War. She lived in Mobile, AL,
with her wealthy brother Franklin Jackson McCoy (b. 1831, married twice, many children, lots of squabbles over inheritances). Their

sister "Bessie" (Elizabeth, age 15 in 1850 Craven Co. census) married (unknown) and "moved
to Texas."
I have my line (Cordelia) and her brother's line (Franklin J.) but have absolutely nothing on Bessie or her descendants.
CHILD NOTES: Cordelia C. McCOY
Birth(9,10,1): "Cordilla McCoy" born 19th March 1827, per Alex. Spivey's notebook. Probably in Greene or Craven Co., NC, where
Wm and family were living at the time.
Death(9,10):
Burial(10):
General: The "C." in Cordelia's name could have been for "Coward" (named for her grandmother Cordelia Coward) although none of
Cordelia C. McCoy's records have anything but the initial. Her grandchildren in the 1960s said they thought her
middle name was "Clara," and she did name a daughter "Clara Geraldine." But Mattie Dominick, born 1887, never knew her
grandmother Cordelia McCoy, who died 1884. Mattie's mother Clara Geraldine Richardson died in 1912.
According to Annie, the information on Cordelia was from Mattie Dominick Crenshaw family bible and her stories.

        DAIL
        David E. DAIL, was born in Greene Co., N.C.; July 12, 1878, and died near Hookerton, N.C. August
        6, 1910; aged 32 years and 24 days. Brother DAIL professed faith in Christ when young and
        connected himself with the church at Ormond's Chapel, and lived a consistent member to the day of his
        death. He was sick almost a year. Rheumatism was the dominant trouble, and during his suffering with
        this disease, the appendix of the colon became involved, and he had to undergo an operation which so
        exhausted his strength as to continue the decline of his health until death.
        I visited Brother DAIL several times during his sickness, prayed and talked with him about his
        spiritual state and always found him perfectly resigned to the will of God. A short time before he died
        he told his faithful wife that he would soon be at rest, and it would be better than this world could give.
        He seemed to be so humble and so patient under his affliction that it made me feel, while at prayer in
        his room, that I was in the presence of the holy angels.
        He leaves a wife and three little children, a father and mother, four brothers and three sisters to mourn
        their loss.
        May the Lord bless and comfort.
