Notes for Charles Hathcock Sr.
CHARLES HATHCOCK SR.2422
Charles Hathcock was the son of Joseph and Elizabeth Hathcock of Brunswick County (later Greensville). Virginia. There is no record of the birth of Charles but he was probably born in the 1730's or 1740's in Brunswick County. Charles lived in Greensville County all his life adjoining the plantation of his father on Split Rock Branch of Fountain Creek in the southern-most part of the county near the North Carolina border. Charles died in 1806 in Greensville County.
Will Book 1 at page 130 of Greensville County indicates that Charles Hathcock was an appraiser for the Estate of Nathaniel Mitchell 5 November 1784 (Returned to Greensville court 23 April 1789) along with Nehemeah Nolley and Thomas Brannson. The Administrator named in the the Will was Littleberry Robinson.
Deed records of Greensville County show that Charles bought land from David Hathcock in January of 1797 (Book 2, Pages 90 or 390). David is believed to have been a son of Charles’ sister Mary, also of GreensvilIe County. Other deed records indicate that Chlarles bought lard from Henry CoIlier in January of 1800 (Book 2. Page 590) and in September of 1803 (Book 3 Page 248). Frances, the wife of Charles, appears on the census records of Greensville County in 1810 through 1820 but she apparently died before March 1821.
About a year before his death, on 15 December 1804, Charles was awarded damages in the amount of twenty-six pounds for a road having been run through his land "from Walton's Mill to Robinson's Old Store."
The Last Will and Testament of Charles Heathcock was written 23 October 1803 in Greensville County, Virginia. It states that he had four adult slaves named Selah, Wiley, Pol, and Jerry and two minor slaves named Allen and Dick. His sons were Charles and Roland. His daughters were Anny, Patsy, Julia, and Lucy. His wife is named as Frances and his executor was Daniel Robinson, a neighbor. Witnesses were Daniel Robinson and Julia Heathcock. Frances died between 1820 and 1821 and her estate was divided among all the children except Roland. Although her estate papers provide little information on family relationships, there is a deed recorded in Greensville County, 3 February 1823 which is revealing. This deed shows that the some of the children of Charles and Francis, namely Charles Jr., Anne, Patsey, and Julia. sold one hundred and ten acres of land to Hannah Hill. The deed describes the land as have being inherited from their uncle Richard Hill and that adjoining land holders were John Robinson and Thomas Vollentine. The deed also makes it clear that Hannah Hill was the sister of Robert and Richard Hill and the sister of Ally Scott, all deceased in 1823. It is also clear that the wife of Charles Hathcock Sr. was Frances Hill, a sister of Hannah Hill.
Frances was the later wife of Charles Heathcock Sr. since the son Roland is not mentioned as inheriting any land from his mother, Francis Hill Heathcock. Marriage records in GreensvilIe County of this period show that a Charles Hathcock had married Lavinia Hicks 13 December 1794, so it is possible that Charles married three or more times.
The other son, Roland, was born about 1790 and appears in the 1850 census of Greensville County at age 60, and died there about 1857 leaving a Will which devised his estate to Charles, the son of his brother Charles. Charles Jr. married Jemima Minerva Ctiom 8 March 1819 in Greensville County, and Roland Hathcock married Temperance Doyle in the same county 8 February 1819. [Note 2] (Book 82) Nothing is known of the daughters or who they married. Some may have moved to Orange County, North Carolina.
At page 261 of the 1820 census of Greensville County, Charles Jr., his brother Roland and their mother Frances all appear along with a Lotty Hathcock, age 10 to 16 years, and Grief Hathcock (female), described as a "free colored person.” This Grief was no doubt the daughter of Andrew Jeffries and widow of Colby Hathcock. Recent research has revealed that several of the Hathcock families had intermarried with the Indians of Greensville County during and well before this period (perhaps prior to 1730) , and it would seem that Colby Hathcock is an example of these intermarriages with Indian or part-Indian families. The Jeffries were one such family. One of the problems in determining which of these families were Indian or part Indian is their race classification in official and legal records. For example, the census record listing Grief Hathcock list her as "a free colored person", whereas it is known that she was part-Indian without African descent. It is now known that "mixed blood" of any type were classified as "free colored persons" or “Mulattoes". Notwithstanding, during this period there were no doubt, marriages between Indians or part Indians and persons of African descent, rarely marriages between Whites and persons of African descent.
No living descendants of the family of Charles and Frances Hathcock are known.
