1900 St. Johns twsp farmer He's the Thomas Britton on the Hertford Co 1860 census
#625 and listed as NT in 1870 and 1880
Child of Nathan Thomas Britton and wife
Janie W Harrell:
Dear Sally, It has been a while since I wrote to you to
correct the Nathan Thomas Britton family but I have been a little "under the
weather". You asked for more information and I am going to try. Jesse
Britton (Nathan Thomas's grandfather was a revolutionary war veteran and he
was born and married in The Isle of Wight county in Virginia He married
Susanna there and some of their children were born there. His son, Nathan
was born there before they moved to North Hampton in North Carolina. Nathan
Thomas (Nathan's son) was the only one who moved to Hertford County in St,
Johns.(as far as I know) Nathan Thomas married Sarah Elizabeth Baker. (Henry
David Baker's daughter) at the Baker home(Which is still in good
shape--owned by a person who let my daughter go in and look around. She was
very impressed. There is a cemetary behind the house but it is so grown over
that the only grave we could find was Thomas Baker's. He died at the age of
32 and left a wife and 3 daughters. A daughter, Tucie died young. Tommie
married Walter Futrell. Daughter, Fannie married Miles Sumner and Ada
married my great Uncle Hunter Joyner. She was 23 and he was 56. They had 3
children, Willy, Ima and Robert. (my mother's cousins) When Uncle Hunter
died Ada married his cousin, Seth Joyner and they had one child, Wilmer. Now
I'll get to the real reason for this letter. (Henry D.Baker's Family) I had
the 1850 census but I seemed to have misplaced it so I'll have to use my
memory to try to get the order of the Baker children right. I think that you
have one of the original copies of B.B. Winborne's "History of Hertford
County". I have a copy too but my daughter had to go to Pennsylvania to get
it. This is a quote from The Winborne book. "Henry was a brother of John
Baker and they were sons of William Baker of Buckland Plantation--nephews of
General Lawrence Baker (The war between the states) They lived in Winton.
The Baker's of the lower part of Hertford county are decendants of these
men." I am not sure if that means they are my husband's ancestors or not but
we do live in the lower part of of the county. Henry David Baker (born
1806)married Jane Newsome (born 1812) They had 9 children.No-1 Henry David
Jr. who married a widow (Sally Ann Hayes Chambley) who had 4 children by her
first husband. Two of her daughters married her husband's brothers. His
brother Thomas married Laura Chambley. ( I mentioned their children earlier)
Sally and No-1 Henry D. Jr. had 4 sons that all died young. No. 2--Sarah
Elizabeth and Nathan Thomas Britton had 12 children. ( Sarah Elizebeth Baker
Britton was born in 1835. Nathan Thomas was born in 1830) They were married
at her father's home by the Rev. William Patrick Britton in 1852. No-3
Martha Ann Baker married Marmaduke Harrell. No-4 Hosea married Florence
Jernigan. No-5 Richard married Ella hayes. No-6 John never married. No-7
James married Betty Chambley. No-8 Thomas married Laura Chambley. No- 9
Robert married Roberta (Birdie) Newsome. I don't have a record of all the
Grandchildren of Henry and Jane Newsome Baker but I do have N.T. and Sarah
Elizabeth Britton's children. They are as follows--- No-1 Sarah J. (died
young) No-2 William Patrick married Lucy Earley.(No children) No-3 Thomas H.
married Martha E.B.Harrell. Children- No-4 Richard Burkette married Sarah Blow, Children: Pearla and
others(Don't Know) No-5 James Ellis married Mary Lodge. They had 11 children
and I can't name them all but these are the ones I knew--James, Cecil,
George, Ruth, Laura, Mary, William, Robert. (not in order) and 3 more that I
don't know. No-6 Henrietta married John Harrell (Several children) No- 7
Debbie married James Harrell (several children)No-8 Christiana married John
Henry Liverman. They had one child but Christiana died in childbirth. No-9
Maggie was John H. Liverman's 3rd wife. They had 11 children. No-10 Martha
married John H. Liverman(his 2nd wife--she and her child died when she tried
to give birth. No-11 Charlie Nathan married Lily Thomas Teaster--children:
Grady Charlie, Marvin Thomas, Emma Dunning, Raleigh Earl, Sybil Annie, Verna
Marie, Nancy, Thomas Jefferson and Gertrude Lillie. No-12 John Turner. (All
of the Harrell's mentioned here were children of Marmaduke and Martha Baker
Harrell and when Sarah E. Baker Britton died, Nathan Thomas married their
oldest child, Janie and had one more child, Bernice who married Irvan
Sumner. they had 3 daughters---Edith, Jessie and Juanita. My husband was
Thomas J.(Bud) I have been a widow for 20 years and we have 5 children. 4
grandsons and 3 greatgrandsons. I can send all their names later if I
haven't already done so. Mary H. Britton

The Britton family I descend from is Charlie Nathan and Lillie
Britton----They were my paternal great-grandparents-----Grandma Lillie was a
Teaster----and My paternal grandfather (John Lawrence Sumner, Jr.) had a
sister named Ethel who married grandma Lillie's brother, if my memory serves
me correctly-----so that is how the Teaster line ties in with the Sumners and
the Brittons.....My mother's people were the Hortons, from round this same
general area, also.....My maternal grandparents were Archie Horton and Ima Lee
Horton----Grandmother Horton was a Barham before she married-----I know there
are some Godwins and Hoggards in there also----My great-grandmother Horton was
a Hoggard before she married, and my great-grandmother Barham (Susie), was a
Godwin-----I can't remember much past that, tho my mother can----I know one of
my Horton Great-Grandfathers was at Gettysburg, and was sent home with a mule
and a parcel of land waiting for him in NC after his fighting duty----and also
it seems a couple of greats on the Sumner-Britton-Teaster side were at
Appomatox when the War ended.....Both sides of the family had some great
influence in the communities of Union and St John in the days gone by, in
things such as the starting of Union Baptist Church, and St John Baptist
Church....

Hi,
You have no idea how surprised I was to find your site as I was researching my
grandmother, Lula Pruden Hoggard. I had no success so decided to type in
Uncle Archie to see if I could find info on him that might lead to Grandmom.
I haven't seen any of them in years. I think of Uncle Archie each
time I go in my back yard during the summer because I have a grape vine.
He had a big vine in his front yard in Murfreesboro. I would sit under it and
read when we would visit them. I remember that and the bird that Aunt
Ima Lee had that she covered with a blanket at night. I remember
Cliff singing Old Man River. Also remember Aunt Ima Lee being an
excellent cook.
My father was the baby boy of Joe and Lula. His name was Pat. He
passed away about four years ago. If I remember correctly, Uncle Archie
was the oldest boy. We visited them a few times after they moved to
Richmond, but I didn't see them much after that because I was pretty much
grown by that time. I did see Carol Lee and Cliff a few times. I
haven't seen Ellen in many, many years. I remember listening to her play
the piano when we would visit them in NC.
I wonder about all of them at times. I am sure many have passed away by
now. I know Uncle Archie died many years ago but got to be very old. I
would love to know where they all are, even if they are no longer with us.
That huge family is down now to Aunt Nancy and Aunt Lucille. Aunt
Lucille turned 93 in July. I saw both of them right before her birthday.
They are amazing. Both are still very sharp and could answer questions you
might have. I am going to talk with them soon about Grandmom since I was
unable to find out when and where she was born and when she and Granddad got
married.
I am so pleased to have found you. Please let me know what is going on
with your family. I miss them!

his parents This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!! Nathan Britton was the son of Jesse Britton 1751 - 1841 and wife
Susanna of Northampton Co. Children of Nathan Britton and wife Sally: e-mail from Mary Britton 31/July/2011
I would like to correct some of the Britton family. Jesse
Britton was born in Isle Of Wight in Virginia. He married Susanna? and some
of their children were born there. Jesse was born in 1751 and he was a
vetern of the Revolutionary war. (records in the archives in Raleigh, N.C.)
He moved with his family to North Hampton County in North Carolina. His son,
Nathan married Sarah Davis they had several children there but the only one
who moved to Hertford County was his son, Nathan Thomas who did not live in
Union--he lived in St John's and married Sarah Elizabeth Baker who was the
daughter of Henry David and Jane Newsome Baker. He inherited land from Henry
Baker and lived and died in St. John's. They had twelve children by Sarah
Elizabeth. After Sarah died in 1898, he married Janie Harrell and had one
more child. My father-in-law was the eleventh child. (Charlie Nathan) He
married Lily Teaster and they had ten children. My husband, Thomas Jefferson
(Bud) was next to the youngest. We have always lived in St. John's and we
bought the Charlie Britton family farm between St. John's and Menola. Nathan
Thomas and Elizabeth were charter members of the St. John's church which was
built in 1883. All of their Children were members there until they married.
I have a lot of information, including all the children of each generation.
It's late so I'll try to send that at another time. Mary Hill Britton P.S.
It was interesting to know that you had an Evans family in your line because
my Grandmother was an Evans. (A Peter Evans who came to this country in 1835
at the age of 16. One of my ancesters became a Morman and moved to Utah and
he has decendants all over the United States.

This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!
To Sally, The Baker house is up a lane, between Fraziers
Crossroads and St. Johns. On the map that I have (1860) it is between the
Darden Plantation and the Mitchell Plantation. (My great uncle Hunter Joyner
bought the Mitchell Plantation and married one of Henry Baker's
grandchildren. She was part of my Father-in- law's family. Some of his
family married into my mother's family. Thankfully, my husband and I were
not related. MHB P.S. My dad was born in Harrellsville and my my Mom was
born in Murfreesboro but they both had family in the same place. ( my family
are all beautiful. My idea of Course) MHB
Henry David Baker appears to be the son of Simon Baker and his wife Mary. Children of Henry David Baker and wife Jane Newsome: Henry David Baker (born 1806)married Jane Newsome (born 1812) They had 9 children.No-1 Henry David Jr. who married a widow (Sally Ann Hayes Chambley) who had 4 children by her first husband.
