|
| 2245 | [William2.FTW] REFN: 3431 Three of the four Gilreath brothers, William, Benjamin and Gideon, moved from Wilkes County, North Carolina to Whitley County, Kentucky. Willia m was the first to go, obtaining a grant of 100 acres on Marsh Creek on Nov ember 22, 1813. William died in 1828 leaving his estate to his third wife, Rac hel, two sons and three daughters. | Gilreath, William (I6121)
|
| 2246 | [William2.FTW] REFN: 3432 Johannah Jones Gilreath was one of seven daughters of Benjamin and Johannah Jones. Although she is not named in her father's will, and the ot her six daughters are, his will gives Johannah Gilreath's husband, John, ful l control over Benjamin's land on behalf of his widow, Johannah Jones. John Gilreath was also a legatee under the will. Johannah Gilreath went with John , her children and her widowed mother to settle in Wilkes County, North Carol ina in about 1780. There John Gilreath joined his father and two brothers wh o had migrated to Wilkes in 1778. On February 6, 1806 she signed an appren tice bond for her daughter Sarah Dougherty's son, John. John was bound until he was 21 to Johannah to 'learn the occupation of farmer' (Wilkes Co., NC WB -2, p. 168) A few months later, on May 9, 1806, she took on another apprenti ce, Usley Robert, 'to learn the occupation of spinster' until she was 18 year sof age (op. cit., p. 179). It is likely that Usley Robert is the orphaned child of one of Johannah's daughters, perhaps another Johannah who does no t appear in known records. Under traditional naming practices, John and Joha nnah's first born daughter should also have been named Johannah. Usley Rober t's name may have a connection with the naming of Johannah's daughter Susanna h Jacoway's son as ' William Ussery Jacoway. ' | Jones, Johannah (I6452)
|
| 2247 | [William2.FTW] REFN: 3435 Nancy was probably named for her father's sister, Nancy Gilreath, t o avoid confusion. If she had been named Johannah, under the standard nami ng pattern, there would have been three Johannahs in the same household. O n the 1850 census she was single. | Gilreath, Nancy (I6049)

|
| 2249 | [William2.FTW] REFN: 3507 John Gilreath was the oldest of five sons of William Wesley Gilreat h. His name is first found on the Bute County tax lists in 1771, living ap art from his father but in the same district as Benjamin Jones. No record of his marriage to Johannah Jones has been found but there seems to be general agreement among Gilreath family researchers that this is a fact. After his m arriage to Johannah Jones, it appears that they lived on the farm of her fath er and mother. In his will, made in 1776, Benjamin Jones leaves John Gilreat h in full possession of the farm, for his widow's behalf, and gives him a sha re of his personal estate. There was clearly a close relationship between J ohn Gilreath and Benjamin Jones. Although in 1778, John and his brother, Willi am, refused to sign a loyalty oath in support of North Carolina and against K ing George 3rd, he and two of his brothers were soldiers in the Revolutionary War. Why they refused to sign the oath is a mystery, especially in view of the fact that their father had been active in attending meetings of the Bute County Committee on Safety. That same year, John and his brothers James an d William signed a petition to divide Bute County into what became Warren and Franklin counties. The Carolina legislature approved and,in 1779, the part of Bute County where the Gilreaths lived became Warren County. John Gilreat h is on the 1779 list for the Smith's Creek and Hawtree Creek Tax District wi th property valued at 507 pounds. It is not clear when he migrated west to Wil kes County. The recordsshow that in 1780 he claimed 50 acres in Wilkes adjo ining the land of Thomas Hamrick. However in 1781, he was still on Captain J ohn Colclough's tax list in Warren County for 126 pounds and 8 shillings. Wh ether he was physically present in Warren County at that time is not known. In any case, sometime around 1780 he moved his family Wilkes County, followin g in the footsteps of his father, brothers William and Alexander and three of his brothers-in-law, Thomas, William and James Jones. Johannah's mother, then a widow, went with John and her daughter. By 1782, John is in Captain Nathaniel Gordon's Tax District, listed as owning 100 acres and two cattle. Thomas Jones (Sr.) is also in this district. William Gilreath, Sr. and his other two sons, William, Jr.and Alexander are in Capt. Abraham Demoss' distr ict. The 1787 North Carolina census for Wilkes County, Captain Trible's Distr ict, taken by James Fletcher, lists the John Gilreath household with one male 21-60, 3 males under 21 amd 4 females. He was taxed on 150 acres of land. The 1790 census for the 16th Company of Wilkes County, in which John, William and Alexander Gilreath lived, showed that John Gilreath's household containe d four females one of whom was probably the widow Johannah since John and his wife had only three daughters. John Gilreath was appointed constable in Cap tain Gordon's District in 1793, replacing his brother Alexander, a position h e held until he resigned on May 2, 1797. The 1800 census for John Gilreath's household shows one male less than ten, two less than sixteen,, one over for ty five and, for females, one less than sixteen and one over 45. Apparently, Johannah Jones has either died or moved away. He remained in Wilkes County until his death in 1802. Although John Gilreath received land grants in Wilk es County ranging from 50 to 100 acres during the 1780s, the land his family seemed to have retained after his death was a tract of 106 acres purchased on May 7, 1794 (Wilkes County NC DB B-1, p. 407-408). This land, bought at a c ourt orderedland sale, was located on both sides of Little Cub Creek, probab ly near his father who lived on a fork of the same creek. The deed was prove d on the oath of Hillair Roussau who in 1805 was the Captain of the tax distr ict where Johannnah Gilreath resided. Later, o | Gilreath, John (I5963)

| 2250 | [William2.FTW] REFN: 4039 William Gilreath came to Granville County, North Carolina from Virg inia in about 1750. He is listed as 'William Gilcrees' on a 1754 roster of the local militia of Granville County, a private in Captain Richard Colema n's Company of Colonel William Eaton's regiment. This list of militia member s was, in effect, a census of the male populationof Granville County at that time. In 1760 he received a Granville land grant of 680 acres which was proved in court on February 1, 1761 (Granville Co NC DB-D, p. 169). Thistract was located on a branch of Hawtree Creek adjoining William Young, in the are a where Benjamin Jones Jones' lived. On August 4, 1761,William Gilreath sol d 340 acres of that tract, including land where he lived, to William Smith for thirty pounds (op. cit., P. 330). The deed described the land as located b etween Hawtree and Six Pound Creeks on Robertson's line. It was proved in Gr anville court on August 11, 1761. On March 6, 1780, after he had moved to Wil kes County, he sold the remaining 340 acres to Richard Inge of Dinwiddie Coun ty, Virginia for 1,500 pounds (Note: the price sounds too high). The tract w as described as being on a branch of Hawtree Creek adjoining John Ellis, Adams Williams, John Thompson, Wm. Russell, Wm. Call (Keel?), Henry Fittes and Ephraim Ellis. The deed, signed with a flourish by Gilreath, was witnessed b y Thomas Dance, John Inge, Benj. Perkins, acknowledged by Dance in the May 1 780 session of court and registered on July 17, 1780 (Warren Co. NC DB-7, p. 320). The DAR Centennial Edition of the Patriot Index lists the following Gi lreaths: 1. William Gilreath, Sr. b. 1730 d. ca 1795 .. CS (Civil Service) SC 2. John Gilreath b. 1750-56 d. Dec 1802 .. Soldier NC 3. William Gilreath, Jr. b. 4-28-1753 d. after 1833 .. Capt. NC PNSR(Pensioner) 4. Alexander G ilreath b. 11-15-1755 d 1838 .. Sergeant NC PNSR In February 1778, the Bute County Court ordered Justices of the Peacein each District to administer a loy alty oath, pledging allegiance to the State of North Carolina and against King George 3rd, to qualifypersons to vote in a coming election. Only five per sons in the County refused to take the oath with William and his son John being two ofthe five. In August of 1779, William was ordered by the Court to s how cause why he refused to take the oath. There is no record of his appearance in court but the challenge was moot because by November 1779he had moved to Wilkes County where sons William, Jr. and Alexander were already living. Three of his sons remained behind in Bute County but by 1780 they were also living in Wilkes County. He served in the Revolution as a Captain in Col. B enjamin Cleveland's Regiment. He was wopunded in the leg at the Battle of Ki ng's Mountain. Three sons, Captaion William Gilreath, Jr., Sergeant Alexande r Gilreath and Private John Gilreath, also served during the war. William, J r. and Alexander received pensions. John died before pensions were authorized. William Gilreath, Sr. received these land grants in Wilkes County, North Carolina: 1. On March 3, 1779, he received a grant of 150 acres on the Little Fork of Cub Creek (Land Entry Book Wilkes County NC 1778-1781, compiled by Mrs. W. O. Absher) . 2. Eight months later, he received a second grant of 250 acres in the same area, the south side of the Middle Fork of Little Cub C reek, 'at the ford.' (Ibid., p. 77). This location is about two or three miles southeast of Wilkesboro, NC. After he moved to South Carolina, on Octo ber 22, 1792, William, Sr. sold 200 acres of the land on Little Cub Creek to William, Jr. for 100 pounds. 3. On March 30, 1780 he received a third grant , 400 acres on Crab Fork of the Little River 'at or near the Virginia line', land that is now in Alleghany County, NC (Ibid., p. 100).
