Albritton, Adam | man 16+ | 1790 census
     b. 1769, Son of Peter and Susannah

     b. 1748, Son of James and Ami, his wife Eunice, and his three eldest sons, Jonothan, Samuel, and Richard, born '84, '87, and '90.   Don't know who the other female is - an unknown daughter or a servant, perhaps.
Albritton, James | 3 men 16+; 2 boys 0-16; female; 8 slaves | 1790 census
     James b. ~ 1754 son of Thomas and Margaret, wife Lidia Travis.  No children known, so two boys unaccounted.  2 other men could be James' brothers; he had four, aged 30 to 40.   These 3 James could easily be mixed up.
Albritton, James | man 16+; boy 0-16; 4 females; 4 slaves | 1790 census
     James b. 1761 son of Peter and Susannah, wife's name unknown.   Son, James C., age ~5.   3 females unaccounted - unknown daughters, perhaps?

     James, b.1735, married Mary Arnette.
Albritton, Peter | 4 men 16+; boy 0-16; female; 4 slaves | 1790 census
     Peter b. 1741, son of James & Eliz., wife Susannah __, and their sons Peter, ~14, son, Joel, ~17, and Jonothan ~19.  Peter and Susannah had no daughters.    Sons William, ~ 30, and James, ~29, have their own households in the census.  Son Samuel, ~31, is not in the census.  There should be 2 boys younger than 16, Peter ~14 and Luke, ~12.  The fourth man is unexplained.   Perhaps Peter was counted as being 16.
Albritton, William | man 16+; boy 0-16; 3 females | 1790 census
       William b. 1760 son of Peter & Susannah.    Wife Elizabeth, dau. Cloey.  One boy & one female not accounted for, presumably other children.

Albritton, Peter | only 16+ male | 1 | 1763 tax list

       Son of James and Elizabeth, age ~34; his six sons none over 16.    Don't know why he was not taxed in 1763; perhaps he left Pitt.

Asbell family
Asbel, Joseph | 2 men 16+; 2 boys 0-16; 2 females | 1790 census

Re: Joseph Asbell, 1790, Pitt, NC   Posted by: Bill Harvey  February 28, 2001
 This Joseph Asbel(l) is the one my grand-aunt has identified as the father  of Aaron Asbell b. 1800 in NC. (my gr-grandfather) Her family history is  very skimpy on Asbell ancestry beyond Aaron but she does state that  Joseph Asbell took the oath of Allegiance to the Colonial Cause at  Kingston, Lenoir Co., NC, on 3 May 1778.
    She notes that Joseph was found on the 1790 Pitt Co., NC census as  was a William Bonner who later conveyed land and moved to Granville  Co., NC with his brother Thomas Bonner.
    She also states that William Bonner later received 4 land grants in  Hickman Co., KY and moved there abt 1828 with his family and was accompanied by Aaron Asbell, son of Joseph. Aaron Asbell married Elizabeth Bonner (dau. of William) in Hickman Co., KY in 1830.

Sandy Hodges,
     Elisha and John Asbill were the sons of
        Aaron & Nancy Ann (Belcher) Asbill

   Aaron & Nancy Ann had 8 children:
     1) Susannah Asbill b 1774 prob Bertie Co, NC
         m Nathaniel Burton
     2) Nancy Asbill b 1778 prob Bertie Co, NC
         m Josiah Todd
     3) Penelope Asbill b 1780 Bertie Co, NC
         m 3 times--Loveless, Williamson & Toney
     4) John Asbill b 3 Nov 1781, Bertie Co, NC
         m  1807, Abigail Frederick in Edgefield, SC
         3 children;  1) Elizabeth Asbill m Theophilus
           Pierce; 2) Bryant Asbell 1/m Sarah Denson              (no
children); 2/m Sophia Asbill (10 children)            3/m Sarah Andrews
(4 children);  3)  John               Asbill, Jr--know little about him
    5)  Lewis Asbill ca 1782 Bertie Co, NC; m Mary
         Satcher - 11 children - among them Sophia              who was
2nd wife of Bryant Asbell above
   6) Elizabeth J. Asbill b 27 Oct 1783, Bertie
       m E. W. Browning
   7) Elisha Asbill b ca 1785, Bertie Co, NC
       1/m ca 1903,  Celia  ? near Edgefield SC
        Elisha & Celia had 5 children: Alfred, Elinder,
        Anson,  Mary, John W,
      2/m 17 Apr 1828, Phebe Harris
        Elisha & Phebe had 3 children: Martha,                    Andrew
W., and Julia Ann
    8) Jarvis Asbill b ca 1794, Bertie Co, NC
        m Frances DeSaussure 8 children

Aaron & Nancy Ann moved from Bertie Co, NC, and arrived in Edgefield Co,
SC, Christmas Day 1799.

Brothers John and Elisha moved to Twiggs Co, GA, after their father
Aaron died in 1814.  Elisha & Celia moved there in 1816, and John &
Abigain followed the next year.  There are several sources that can be
found in the Washington Memorial Library in Macon, GA, including a copy
of Elisha's will.

    My wife, Hilda Jernigan Grimwood, descends from brothers John and
Lewis Asbill (Bryant m 1st cousin Sophia).  We have put together 2
editions of  "Asbell Connections."   The first edition is in the Macon
Library. The revised edition is not.  The latter contains many revisions
to the Elisha Herring family, as his son Anson has many descendants,
among them members of the Leatherman family that responded to your
posting. Anson & Rhoda (Tucker) Asbill's 4 child was Nancy A. Asbill -
1/m Marshall Leatherman; 2/m James Galloway.

Believe this may provide the identity of John and Elisha Asbill of
Twiggs County, GA.  I don't know why children of John and Elisha started
spelling the name "Asbell," but some did in both cases.

I rather enjoyed the exercise

Best regards,     Jim  Grimwood

 Beaman Gleanings
     William Beaman witnessed deeds in Pitt County circa October 1763 for Joseph Jolley senior (Book B, page 418) and in November 1773 for Robert Hodges (Book L, page 36).  He was on the 1762 list of taxables for Pitt County, reported one white poll and no blacks (Journal of North Carolina Genealogy, #56, Vol. XIV, #4, Winter 1968, page 2212).  He was still in Pitt County in 1786, on the tax list in Captain Robert Hodges' District (page 2), one adult male age 16-60 and one female over 60 years (Register, State Census of North Carolina, page 137).  William Bumam (sic) was enumerated in the 1786 state census in Duplin County in Captain Bowden's District (page 3), with eleven free white individuals in his household.  His name which looks like Bumam on the original tax list, has been transcribed as Beeman.  Whether William was related to the other three Beaman men in the county is a matter of conjecture.  (Where did he go later; incl as one of 3 bros).

Branton, William | man 16+; boy 0-16; 2 females | 1790 census

Notes for LEVI BRANTON:
1773, 13 Dec:  Levi & Eli  were debtors of Col John Mcgee who died this date, Orange Co, NC (Ref: NCGSJ of 1975)

1775:  Uriah was only living child of Levi, there being another son by the name of John who died without issue , age 14 or 15.  (Journal of NC Genealogy, Fall 1966 from NC Rev Military papers, Folder 325).

1775-1783:  The Continental Army of NC consisted of 10 Regiments,  1 Battery of Artillery and 3 companies of Cavalry.  Alone & unaided the Reg won the brilliant victory of Moore's Creek, Ramseur Mill & Kings Mountain.  They fought against the Regulars who lost the battles of Camden & Guilford Courthouse.  They crushed the Scovillite Tories SC & in Jul 1776 the Over hill Indians in Tenn in which 2400 Militia was involved.  They also shared in the battles of Stono, Briar Creek, Cow pens & the defense and surrender of Charles town.  The NC Colonists rendered service at Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, at the capture of Stony Point, at Hobkinks Hill, Eutaw, at both sieges of Charlestown & Savannah.  They also formed a part of the Garrison at West Point.

1779, Jun 2:   Levi enlisted for 18 months as a private in Col Abraham Shepard's 10th Regiment, Bradley's Company, Continental Line raised & belonging to NC (NC Colonial records 1783-1882).  Paid 57 pounds, 2 shillings, 2 pence for service through 2 Dec 1780. (Ref: NC Rev Army accounts Secretary of State, Treasures & Comptrollers papers, V1, V2, part II, pg 286)
