General Notes: **The following information was taken from Rebecca Leach Ddozier's book, "Twelve Northhampton County, North Carolina Families 1650-1850, published by Gateway Press, INC., Baltimore, MD 2004; page 327-328:

Abraham (John Stephenson(1)), a son of John and Elizabeth Edwards Stephenson, lived in Isle of Wight Co., VA. He married Ann, whose surname is unknown(20). On 6 december 1725 Abraham and Ann, his wife, sold to Thomas Stephenson 100 acres on Seacock Swamp in Isle of Wight Co, VA(21). On 23 november 1730 Abraham appraised the estate of Edward Brown(22). Nine years later he relocated south of the Virginia state border into Bertie Co., NC, where he bought 150 acres on the south side of "Maherring" River adjoining the lands of William Boon, John Bryant, and a Mr. Bennet from Elias Fort on 23 October 1739(23). This land would later fall into Northampton County when it was formed from Bertie in 1741. About a month later, on 4 November 1739, Elias Forst sold Abraham 147 acres on the south side of the "Maherring" River at Island Gutt on Mouth of "Myerry", and the Old County Line(24). Bertie County's county line changed, and next Abraham Stephenson was found living in Northampton County, where he was selling the 150 acres that he bought from Elias Fort in October of 1739(25). Between 1739 and 1761, Abraham was mentioned in several northampton County deeds, bet he did not sell any more of his land until he gave his son Abraham Stephenson, Jr., as a "deed of gift," land on the south side of the "Meheron" River, joining "Miry" Branch and old the county line, on 28 August 1761(26). Abraham gave his son Arthur, as a "deed of gift," three Negroes, George, Sail, and Sedler, on 1 August 1762. Abraham's son Abraham Stephenson, Jr. and Arthur's son Arthur Stephenson, Jr. witnessed this deed.(27). Soon thereafter Abraham disappeared from the Northampton County deed books. No will or estate has been located on this Abraham Stephenson. His only proved children were the two sons to whom he gave land and slaves in 1761 and 1762, Abraham and Arthur Stephenson.

History of Virginia Land Grants

Land grants, or patents, were granted by the Virginia Company, which was granted a chcarter by the Crown to colonize Virginia. The Virginia Company was authorized to grant land patents, and copies were maintained in the records of the Virginia Company in England. One copy of the patent was given to the patentee, to produce in the event of a dispute as to ownership or to provide to the new owner when land was transferred by deed. upon the death of the patentee, the patent passed to his heirs. In 1620, as an additional safeguard, the virginia Company decided to maintain a duplicate of the patent in Virginia, and copies are now maintained in the Virignia Land Office.

In order to encourage immigration and settlement of the colony, the Virginia Company provided that any person who paid his own way to Virginia or paid for the transportation of another person would be entitled to a grant of 50 acres of land for each such person. The person so transported to Virginia was knows as a "headright". See the Introduction to Cavalilers and Pioneers, Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants, 1623 - 1800 (1934) ("Cavalilers and Pioneers"), Vol. I, p. xi. The grant of 145 acres to Abraham Stephenson in 1715 (item 1 under Virginia deeds and Land Grants above) was an example of this type of grant.

The land in Pamunkey Neck and on the south side of the Blackwater River, including the area of Abraham's 1715 patent, was originally allocated by treaty to the Indians in 1677 for their exclusive use. However, leases of land were granted by the Indians to white settlers, and other settlers took possession of part of this land, in violation of the treaty. A committee of the House of Burgesses was formed to study the title disputes that resulted between white settlers and various Indian tribes and, in 1699, isssed a report that white settlers should be granted land in this area and that title to certain land previously occupied by white settlers should be confirmed by land patents. See Report by the Committee for Examing Claims to Land in Pamunkey Neck, and on the South Side of Wlackwater Swamp, and to Consider of the Most Proper Meanes to Settle the Northern & Southern Bounds of Virginia, dated June, 1699, transcribed in Virginia Colonial Records, English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records, Patents (The Learning Company 2001).

History of the Development of Isle of Wight and Southampton Counties

Isle of Wight County was created in 1637 and originally included what is now Southampton County. Southampton County was created in 1749, and the dividing line between Isle of Wight and Southampton Counties is the Blackwater River. The land grant to Abraham and the other land described under Virginia deeds and Land Grants above was located just west of the Black water River in present Southampton County.

Janse "Jenk" Stephenson - (1682) I copied this from the Sophie Fields family tree (Ancestry.com) on September 29, 2016.

But I did hear of my father speak of "Jenk Stephenson" in referring to my great grandfather, Jenkins Stephenson. This Abraham would be my 6th great grandfather.
