Mary Wood & William Mebane of Mason Hall, Orange Co, NC had:
married 27 Jan 1824 Mary E Collins Howe 1805 - 29 Oct 1855 age 50
From Moore's History of NC Vol II, p16- Concerning the Legislature of 1829 "Among the new members of this year was Dr. Alexander Wood Mebane of Bertie. He was reared in Orange, but had married his cousin Mary Howe of the Hermitage on Chowan River and dwelt at that noble homestead.

He was a man of large endowments. A devotion to the Democratic policy did
not interfere with large and successful financial schemes. He was one of the leading
fishermen in the broad waters of the Albemarle country. This business had received an
enormous impetus since 1815. At that time, two Northern men had introduced a long seine,
worked by windlasses and horse power, at Lawrence's Point on the Chowan, six miles below
Colerain, and soon others were put in, two thousand yards in length, requiring six horses
and fifty men and women in their handling. Prior to this time the spring catch had always
been effected by means of short float nets and weirs."

the constitution of the United States.
He was a member of the Legislature from Orange Co from 1783 to 1793 and in the
latter year was elected a member of the United States [3rd] Congress and

STANFORD, Richard, representative, was born in Dorchester county, near Vienna,
Md., March 2, 1767; son of Richard Stanford, and a descendant of Richard
Stanford, who sailed in the ship Primrose from Gravesend, London, England, to
Virginia, July 27, 1635. He removed from Maryland to North Carolina about 1793
and established an academy at Hawfields, Orange county, among his pupils being
Thomas H. Benton, afterwards U.S. senator. He also conducted a farm at Hawfields
and was married to Jeannette, daughter
of Gen. Alexander Mebane, representative in the 3d congress (1792–95). She
died in three years, and he married, secondly, Mary, daughter of Gen. Stephen

serving from May 15, 1797, to April 9, 1816, and was the first representative in
congress to be called "The Father of the House." He was chairman of
the committee on revisal and unfinished business during the 13th congress, and
upon the assembling of the 14th congress was chosen chairman of the committee on
rules and orders of the house. . . . Representative Stanford died at Washington,
D.C., during the 14th session of congress, and was buried in the Congressional
