Transcriber's Notes:
Tyrrell County marriage bonds show the marriage of Samuel C. Patrick to Flora McCallister on 26 Jan 1825, Jos. White security; also Samuel C. Patrick to Mary Tarkinton on 28 Apr 1835, Richd. Davenport security; also Samuel C. Patrick to Ann Tarkinton on 7 Sep 1837, Thomson Liverman security. Since the third marriage listed is after the death of this Samuel C. Patrick, it must be a son or nephew of this Samuel C. Patrick.
The 1831 estate papers of William Liverman establish that Samuel C. Patrick was his son in law and married to his deceased daughter, Louisa Liverman. Frederick F. Patrick and William John Patrick are heirs at law of their mother, Louisa Patrick. They inherit negro man Jacob, boy George and woman Nell from William Liverman. Negros Jacob and George appear in the division of the negros of Samuel C. Patrick above. Franklin Patrick is age 23 and William J. Patrick is age 22 in the 1850 census, so Samuel C. Patrick must have married Louisa Liverman around 1826 or 1827 and had no children by Flora McCallister who probably died in childbirth.
The 1821 will of John A. Patrick, proved in 1837, shows that Frederick Patrick and Samuel C. Patrick were his sons. The division of his negros in 1838 shows Radey (?) and child Ephraim, George & Grace going to Samuel C. Patrick's heirs. These negros also appear in the division of the negros of Samuel C. Patrick above.
The land divided between Frederick Patrick and the heirs of Samuel C. Patrick above was left to them in the will of John A. Patrick after the death of Polly White and was the plantation whereon John A. Patrick lived.
Tyrrell County marriage bonds show the marriage of William Clayton to Phebe Patrick on 29 Mar 1828, Eby Phelps security. Phebe Patrick is cited as a daughter of John A. Patrick in his will. William Clayton and wife Phebe inherited slaves from John A. Patrick. It appears that William & Phebe Clayton are parents of Sarah, John & Samuel Clayton and Phebe Clayton is the daughter of John A. Patrick.
Tyrrell County marriage bonds show the marriage of John A. Patrick Jr. to Jane Allcock on 26 Jan 1825, Jos. White security. There is an estate for a John Patrick in 1835 that was administered by Samuel C. Patrick. It appears that John A. Patrick Jr. is the father of Louisa & Mariah Patrick. The 1830 census shows a John Patrick 20 - 30, 1 male under 5, 1 female 15 - 20, 1 female 30 - 40 and 2 females under 5. Another John A. Patrick is also shown but older, the father.
The 1844 petition for division of land above is probably the division of the plantation in the will of John A. Patrick that was devised to his son, John A. Patrick Jr., who died before his father. His father's will was written in 1821 and proved in 1837. It appears that the land is being divided amongst the heirs of John A. Patrick Sr. The 1838 division of the slaves of John A. Patrick Sr. shows his surviving heirs as Frederick Patrick, Benjamin Jackson & wife Mariah, Samuel C. Patrick's heirs, William Clayton & wife Phebe and the heirs of John A. Patrick. The heirs in the 1844 petition generally align with this except Benjamin Jackson & wife Mariah are missing and Frederick Patrick has two shares. Could Frederick Patrick have bought the Jackson's share of the land?
