137. Etheldred Jesse(?) Abraham Stephenson (Jesse⁸⁹, Arthur⁶³, Abraham³⁶, Arthur Sr.¹⁷, Abraham Sr.³, (William) John Jr.², John Sr.¹) was born in 1834 and died in Feb 1863 in Northampton County, North Carolina at age 29.

General Notes: The following information was provided by Alan C. Stephenson, from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, March 25, 2010:

Notes for Etheldred Jesse (?) Abraham Stephenson:

Names:

Etheldred obviously disliked his first name and preferred to be called by his third name Abraham. Accordingly, he often appears in the public records as Abraham or Abram. His brother Lorenzo also seems to have preferred his second name Joseph and often appears in the public records as Joseph or Joseph L.

My father Abram Clements also detested his first name and was called Clements.

Militia Records:

During the Civil War, Etheldred served in the North Carolina Militia. The militia was intended to be used as a force to prevent local insurrection, the greatest threat of which would have been a slave revolt. However, the state militia, unlike the units that fought with the Confederate Army, was not a very effective force due to poor training and discipline as well as a lack of arms and munitions. See North Carolina Confederate Militia Officers Roster. As Contained in the Adjutant-General’s Officers Roster, Stephen E. Bradley, Jr. ed. (1992) (“Militia Officers Roster”), page vi.

As of September 6, 1861, Etheldred was listed as a second lieutenant in the 36th Regiment, the state militia unit from Northampton County. See Militia Officers Roster, page 94.

Estate Records:

Etheldred and his brother Lorenzo owned the real property they had inherited from their father as tenants-in-common at the time of Etheldred’s death, and Lorenzo died a year or so after Etheldred. Accordingly, their estate records should be read together to understand the nature of their assets. See Estate Records under Notes for Lorenzo.

No doubt the complications caused by their joint ownership of property, combined with the disruptions following the end of the Civil War not long after they died, resulted in the settlement of Etheldred’s estate dragging on into the 1890s.

1. Etheldred was killed in a hunting accident in early 1863, according to my father.

2. Etheldred died intestate, and Henry W. Maddry, the family lawyer, served as administrator of his estate. See bond of Henry Maddry dated September 7, 1863. Mr. Maddry died before the estate was settled, and James L. Lassiter was appointed administrator. See bond of James Lassiter [undated].

3. Etheldred’s widow Mary and Lorenzo (referred to as Joseph L.) petition the Superior Court in the 1863 Fall Term for a partition of part of the land owned by Etheldred and Lorenzo as tenants-in-common. The petition names Etheldred’s infant son Joseph as a party. The land consisted of 700 acres adjoining James Vincent and Wade Garris. Daniel A. Barnes is the attorney for Mary and Lorenzo. The court appoints James H. Vinson, William Boone, James B. Barnes, John B. Sherrod and John Hoggard as commissioners to divide the land into two equal shares to be allotted to Lorenzo and Etheldred’s son Joseph. [It is quite possible that this John Hoggard was the father of Fannie Hoggard, who would later become the first wife of Etheldred’s son Joseph.]

In November 1863, the commissioners reported on their division of the land. Lot No. 1 was drawn by the estate and consisted of 365 acres adjoining a marsh, the Meherrin River and the yellow gut. Lot No. 2 was drawn by Lorenzo and consisted of 348 acres adjoining Bullwork marsh, the yellow gut and the Meherrin River. The report contains a plat showing the landmarks and the “sturgeon hole” on the Meherrin River.

4. In December 1863, Mary petitioned the court to allot a year’s support for her and her family. On December 11, 1863, the court appointed William Boone and James H. Vinson, Justice of the Peace, James B. Barnes, James A. Atkinson and John Hoggard as commissioners to view the “crop, stock and provisions left by the late Abram J. Stephenson” and to allot one year’s support to Mary and her family.

5. An inventory of the estate dated December 15, 1863, shows that the estate included (a) slaves; man Jack, man Mark, girl Lucy, girl Hannah, girl Francis, woman Jenna, boy Phelin, woman Mason, girl Ledea, Miles and Mariah, (b) notes for debts owed to Etheldred from various parties, (b) a government receipt for 600 pounds of fodder issue to Etheldred and Lorenzo, and (c) 5 beds and furniture, 1 bureau, 1 china press [?], 1 dressing table, lot crockery ware, 1 gun, 1 cradle, 1 spinning wheel, lot kitchen furniture, 1 buggy and harness, 4 horses and mules, 4 head of cattle, lot of peas, 23 or 28 hogs, 5 sheep, 8 stacks of fodder, 2 raw hides, lot of farming utensils and about 50 bushels of corn.

An account of estate sales dated the same date shows the sale of, among other things, (a) various farm implements and tools, (b) vegetables and livestock, (c) household goods and furniture, much of which was purchased by the widow Mary but some items of which were purchased by Starkey Woodard [see Notes for Abraham (d. 1854)], Howell Francis (the second husband of Etheldred’s mother Rhoda), John Hoggard and John M. Deberry, and (d) a shot gun purchased by Joseph Stephenson (presumably Lorenzo and not Etheldred’s son Joseph). The most interesting thinbg about the sales is the price paid for various items. The prices show both the inflation that had occurred in Conbfederate currency and the shortages of food that the residents of the county were obviously suffering at this point in the Civil War. For example, Carter Chitty bought a bed and furniture for $120 and Howell Francis purchased one for $126. Joseph [Lorenzo] paid $150 for the shot gun. But the highest prices were obtained for vegetables and livestock: 7 goats [?] in pen no. 2 for $636, 1 cow and calf for $116, 1 bay mule for $500, 1 bay colt for $285, and 1 sorrel colt for $401. The total proceeds of this one sale amounted to almost $7,000, a nominally high amount, but as later records would show, of little real economic value.

6. An inventory of the estate dated February 27, 1869, demonstrates the effects of the end of the Civil War. It shows past due notes held by the estate from various people totaling $2,101.75. Most of them are followed by the notation “doubtful”, including a note from Carter Chitty for $155.50 (probably for items he purchased at the December 1863 estate sale) and one from Augusts H. Stephenson for the same amount.

7. A law suit commenced in 1869 by the estate against three persons owing money to the estate, Joseph Sykes, James Edwards and Samuel Warren, shows the further negative effect of Reconstruction laws on the estate’s assets. The complaint states that defendants owed the estate $401.21. The defendants answered the complaint by alleging that the debt was for the purchase of 8 barrels of corn “sold at Confederate prices” and that the debt should be settled as provided by a law passed by the General Assembly in 1866. This law obviously provided for a reduction in the amount of debts required to be repaid because on November 14, 1870, the estate obtained a judgment against the defendants for only $55.40, a small percentage of the face amount owed.

8. On 1869, Noah Odom was appointed guardian ad litem for Joseph, the minor son of Etheldred. In the petition for the appointment of a guardian, the estate stated that Joseph lived with him mother Mary Stephenson. See petition dated June 20, 1869.

9. In te 1869 Spring Term of the Northampton County court, James Lassiter, as administrator, petitioned the court for the sale of part of the land held by the estate. The petition requested permission to sell the land to pay a portion of the debts of the estate amounting to about $2,500 and administrator charges of about $100. The petition stated, however, that the value of the personal assets held by the estate is only about $500 and that the land to be sold also has a value of about $500. The land was the 365 acres allotted to the estate in 1863 in the division of land between the estate and Lorenzo [see item 3 above], and adjoined Wade Garris, James Vinson and others. Pursuant to court order the land was sold on October 2, 1869, at public action in Jackson, the county seat. The land was sold in two tracts. The “Piney Woods tract” was purchased by Rhoda Sherrod, Etheldred’s mother who had remarried for a second time, for $351. The “River tract” was purchased by Uriah Vaughan for $545. The court ordered that the proceeds be applied to the debts and charges of the estate.

10. By 1873, the Etheldred’s widow Mary had married John Parker (see petition to the 1873 Fall Term of the Superior Court and the 1870 Federal Census which shows Joseph living with John and Mary Parker), and Rhoda Sherrod, Etheldred’s mother, had been appointed guardian of his son Joseph (see summons dated April 16, 1873).

11. An accounting of costs of administration of the estate shows that by 1873 such costs amounted to $1,423.71.

12. The last sad document found in the estate records is dated October 5, 1891. By this point, Etheldred’s son Joseph (referred to as J. B. Stephenson), now a grown man, had been appointed administrator of the estate. The document is the application and bond of Joseph for appointment as administrator of the estate and states that the value of the estate is $20.

1863 Map

In 1863, the Confederate Corps of Engineers prepared a map of Hertford and part of Northampton and Bertie Counties, surveyed by Charles E. Cassell, Civil Assistant Engineer, under the direction of A. H. Campbell, Captain of Engineers and Chief Topological Department N. D. Va., bearing date of April 1863 (“1863 Confederate Map”). The original copy of the 1863 Confederate Map is at the Virginia Historical Society, and was presented to the Historical Society by Mrs. J. F. Minis, the daughter of General J. Gilmer, Chief Engineer, Confederate Corps of Engineers. The map includes the northeastern part of Northampton County where the lands of the Stephenson family were located. It shows many familiar geographic landmarks, including the Meherrin River, Kirby Creek, Corduroy Swamp, Martin’s Crossroads (where Conway is now located), Robert’s Chapel (near present Pendleton), Cross Locks (just north of present Severn), Providence Chapel and Vaughan’s Mill.

The map also shows the residences of landowners, including a number of Stephensons , denoted on the map as “Stevens”. B. Stevens appears just north of the road through Martins Crossroads and south of Corduroy Swamp and was probably Benjamin Stephenson. Several other Stevens appear near Corduroy Swamp, Kirby Creek and on both sides of the road leading north from Roberts Chapel to Cross Locks. The residence of A Stevens is just north of the road that runs from Cross Locks southeast toward Vaughan’s Mill on Kirby Creek near the Meherrin River. This property is about ½ mile from Providence Chapel, which is at the end of a road that intersects with the road to Vaughan’s Mill. A. Stevens is located approximately where Jesse Stephenson’s “house tract” was located and which was allotted to his widow Rhoda. The road that ends at the road to Vaughan’s Mill was probably the “road to Providence Meeting House” and the road to Vaughan’s Mill was probably the “road to Murfreesboro” that appear on the platg that was included in Rhoda’s allotment of land. See item 5 under Estate Records in Notes for Jesse. Just south of the A. Stevens residence is P. Francis. At the time, Rhoda was married to Howell Francis. The A. Stevens probably refers to Etheldred J. Abraham.

Check the ages of her children. The orginal birthdates given were 1892 and 1894. This would have made Lavinia more than 50 years old when she gave birth. It's likely to be a typing error with the dafes being 1872 and 1874.

Other:
Note: Unable to locate on 1900 Census for northampton County. The fact that they swold thier land probablly means they discontinued farming and moved away. many families moved to Portsmouth and Norfold around 1900. Might want to check 1900 census in Virginia.

Lavinia married Ira Burgess Davis on 29 Sep 1869 in Northampton County, NC. Ira was born in 1848 and died after 1897. {FSID: LH1N-96B}

182. Samuel Charles Stephenson (Jenkins¹¹⁵, Benjamin Thomas⁶⁶, Abraham³⁶, Arthur Sr.¹⁷, Abraham Sr.³, (William) John Jr.², John Sr.¹) was born on 14 Feb 1848 in Northampton County, North Carolina, USA, died on 14 Mar 1898 in Woodruff County, Arkansas, USA at age 50, and was buried in Stephenson Cemetery near Revels, Arkansas, USA. {FSID: L852-FHS, FGID: 44198007}

General Notes: Died of pneumonia according to family tree prepared by Libby Jean Harvey and Marsha Lynn Rich of Crosbyton, Texas in March of 1967.

He died in 1898 and from what I can find out there was a malaria epidemic in the area for several years near the turn of the century with lots of people dying. I think it is likely that he died of malaria or swamp fever as some called it.

Birthday conflicts:
April 3, 1848
April 3, 1844
February 4, 1844
The 1850 census indicates he was two years old, making his birth year 1848. Given the ages of the other children in the cesnus, I think it's likely that the census date is correct.
His toombstone says February 14, 1844.

Marriage: Woodruff County, Arkansas - Register book, Page 25 - Samuel Stephenson 18, to Mrs. Margaret Garrett 27 at home of Laura Revel. By R. F. Holdford on 19 June 1870.

I found the place where Samuel and Margaret are buried (July 2004). It's located now on a Wildlife Refuge 1.9 miles south of Revels. Not too far from the duck hunting club. The one acre cemetery was donated to Woodruff County in 1898 by Margaret, his wife. The cemetery is located in a bamboo thicket. It was difficult to get to, and the tombstone was in good condition. The bamboo was removed in June of 2007 by the Wildlife Refuge. According to the dates on the tombstone he was born on February 14, 1844 and died on March 14, 1898.

I suspected there were many people buried in the Stephenson Cemetery. Actually I have a family Bible indicating other children born to Samuel and Margaret that did not live to adulthood. They are probably buried in the Stephenson Family Cemetery on the Wildlife Refuge. My father's brother, Benjamin (Benny)Thomas Stephenson is also buried there according to my grandmother (her son).

The following information was provided by Ed Barnes via Jeannie Stephenson Stinson.
Ed Barnes has an Edgar E. Stephenson listed as a child, as well as an Edna Stephenson, both born the same year (1876). In my old Family Bible, there is a Fannie Lien Ada Stephenson (born 1874) and an Edna Earl Stephenson (born 1876), listed as children. I'm not sure which is correct but at this point I'm going with the Family Bible notes--they are very legible.

Looking at the marriage certificate, it indicates the father of Eliza Stephenson is Kitchen Stephenson. I'm wondering if Jenkins had already died, and Lucy Tabita Britton Stephenson remaried a man by the name of Kitchen Stephenson. I know that with the death of one individual it was not unusual for the wife to remarry a retative of her husband's. This is just a theory of mine----Jenk Stephenson
