WILLIAM DAVID UMPHLETT
I must tell any reader of this document that I did not gather all of
the information that it contains. The part relating to the paternal side was
given to me by way of my Uncle (Dr. Thomas Leonard Umphlet), my father's
brother. The information was obtained by his first wife, Margaret or better
known as "Peg". The history of the Walters family was given to me by
Mary Griffin Douglas, one of the daughters of the author, Belle Walters
Griffin. (sister of my paternal grandmother). The other letters, notes,
documents, and etc. were items that I have kept over the years and they
may not mean much to anyone except me, but they do express some
of the thoughts that people had that help formulate my life during the
time that they were alive. The words that they expressed to me during
my younger days did not stop having an affect upon their death.
My intent in this preface is to let the reader know that I plan
to insert my feelings about the individuals that I fondly remember and try
to express what impressions they made on my life.
I sincerely hope that my thoughts will not distract from the
main documentation of this collection of Genealogy of the UMPHLETT
FAMILIES.
I do not have any answer as to why I waited for fifty-nine years
to even think about gathering all of this information and trying to bring it
to some place in time while trying to bring the past and future together.
Even though I have a daughter (Valarie Rose Umphlett Lewis) and a son
(David Shane Umphlett) to understand what the Umphlett name means,
they must understand how, what, when, and how their lives were shaped
by individuals of the past. David is presently single and he knows that he
is the one to carry on the Umphlett name. Both Valarie Rose and David
Shane have the responsibility to know of their heritage and how proud
they can be to say "I am an Umphlett".
(I will put in more personal notes later)
7 August 99--Well, here I sit at the computer trying to collect my
thoughts on where do I begin and wonder if there is an end. I wonder why, at
age sixty-five, is there any purpose in making any remarks about the past?
Why didn't I start at a time when the individuals that I knew were still alive?
Did I accept things as a child thinking that things will continue on forever?
Apparently, I did, or I would have started a lot earlier. I may ramble my way
through this, but I hope that it will make sense to someone besides me.

following message:
Twiford Funeral Home, Attn Funeral Director, ManteoN.C,
I, William David Umphlett, give permission for my Uncle, Dr.
Thomas L. Umphlett, to sign permission for cremation of my Father ,
William Moulton Umphlett....signed by me.
The above relates to me giving permission to Uncle Leonard to
have my father cremated. This is not something that I would have preferred
to do but Daddy Jimmie had always said that he wanted to be cremated.
He said something like this, " I want to beat the Devil to it". I do hope the
Dear Lord gave him an opportunity to mend his ways and kept him with Him.
I did bury him above the same grave site as my mother in Elmwood Cemetary
in Henderson, N.C. I figured they started out together so they should end up
the same way.
WILLIAM MOULTON UMPHLETT/MOULTON TO HIS
FAMILY/"BUD" OR "BROTHER" TO HIS BROTHER/ "JIMMIE" TO HIS
FRIENDS/ DADDY JIMMIE TO ME.
The same reason for calling my father "Daddy Jimmie" is the
same as for calling my mother, "Mother Dot". When we lived with my
maternal grandparents my "Daddy Newman" was still alive and use to
answer when I called for Daddy.
Now, you would have to have known my father to understand
that he was a different kind of man than any you have ever known or will
meet. I am not saying that he was any better or worse than anyone's
father,,,I am just saying that he was different. I was told that when he
was in high school he wrote a love letter to the teacher rather than
taking his regular test like the others. (It never was confirmed that he
passed or failed his French class.) When he was nineteen years old
he ran away with the Barnum and Bailey Circus and was the driver for
Mr. North, the owner of the circus. He told me he had other jobs in the
circus, as a barker, setting up the tents, and any other things that
needed to be done.
I never knew of anything that my father could not do if he
put his mind to it. He was in air conditioning and refrigeration for nearly
fifty years and when he was working with York Co. in Norfork, Va. after
my mother died he came up with an idea of making a compressor
work that had been failing from the manufacturer. He took the
compressor apart and showed the engineer/manufacturer where the
problem was and how to fix it. He received some type of recognition
by the York Co. He taught me a lot of things, hunting, fishing, playing
poker, swimming, driving, how to be a gentleman, how to be a wheeler-
dealer, and how to B.S., how to help others, and how to be a man with
love and compassion, and etc. Daddy Jimmie could turn on the charm
enough to melt the paint off a wall or he could be someone that you
would want on your side at a show down. One time we were at the State
Fair in Raleigh and went under a tent to have a spaghetti dinner. The
tent was pretty full of people and we sat down beside a table with two
drunk men and one drunk woman. The woman proceeded to put their
dirty dishes on our table for some reason and my mother proceeded to
return them to her table. The woman made some remark about
"Someone should smack that woman in the face". Well, one of the
men at her table said, "O.K. Honey, I'll do it". Unfortunately for him we
had just received our plate of spaghetti and Daddy Jimmie let him have
it as he was rising out of his chair to confront my mother. Daddy Jimmie
also took care of the other man too and the woman was taken off by the
police. Daddy was a small man in statue, but he was very capable of
taking care of himself when the need arose.
I only saw my father cry twice..once when mother died and
when his business was set afire in Middleburg where all our possessions
were stored upstairs while our new house was being built. (We were
building a house out at Bear Pond at the time and living with my
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Newman).
I never knew of anyone that my father could not befriend.
He had a natural goodness about him that was very evident and he
would always be your friend unconditionally.
He like his brother was a "man"......just different.

DOROTHY ROSE NEWMAN UMPHLETT (MY MOTHER) BORN
9/12/15, DIED 5/11/51, KNOWN AS DOROTHY TO HER PARENTS,
"SISTER" TO HER SISTER (VASHTI), "DOT" TO HER FRIENDS AND
HUSBAND. "MOTHER DOT" TO ME.She was known to me as "Mother
Dot" because when we lived with my Grandmother Newman and I used to
call for mother both of them would answer, so I broke it down to Mother
Dot and Mother Newman so that they would know who I was speaking to
or about.
Mother Dot only lived to be thirty-six years old for she had
some medical problems that started at a very young age.When she was
in the eleventh grade of high school she had rheumatic fever and it affected
the mitral valve of her heart and she continued to have heart problems all
of her short life. (I was seventeen at the time of her death).
What can any man say about his mother and the influence that
she had on my life and others that she came in contact? I could say a lot,
but I would never finish. I know that she had a tremendous amount of good
friends and I know of no one that could say any disparaging remark about
her. I know of no time that I ever heard her utter a detrimental remark about
anyone.
She was an "Angel" on earth and I have no doubt that she has
the same status where she is now. She was truly loved by everyone that
knew her.
She was a good mother to me and I will always love her. (Some
day I might be able to write about her if I can find enough paper, time, and
can rely on my many memories).
(Just thought of some more remarks, 13 Nov 04) One time she
climbed a ladder and took out twelve squirrels out of a tree hollow and we
put them in a cage and eventually traded them for two skunks, without stink
sacks, with a man at a circus. We had the skunks for over a year, one died,
and we took the other out to the woods and let him go. Another time Daddy
bought her a bicycle even though she had a hard time pedaling and we tied
a rope to her bicycle from mine and his and pulled her between the two of us.
She was also very good with her hands and could knit and crochet
just about anything. She made baby blankets and booties, bed spreads, and
even taught me how to knit. I made a scarf and sent it to someone in the
service and it was received by a man in the navy that sent a note of thanks
to my mother. (I do not know what happened to the note but that was during
WWII).

I had always heard that my Grandmother, Florence Emma
Walters Umphlett, received a crystal pickle dish for being selected as the
prettiest girl in Perquimans County, N.C. I was not exactly sure of the
location of dish, but was told that Mary Griffin Douglass had it in her home.
Barbara and I went to N.C. in April 06 and had an opportunity to
have lunch with Mary. When she arrived at the dinner area she had something
carefully wrapped in tissue and in a bag. It was the pickle dish. Not only did
she have the dish but also a note that had been written by her mother, Sister
Belle Griffin, that was directed to Uncle Thomas Leonard Umphlet.
The body of the letter: (not dated). "When your mother was in her
late teens a big ice cream party was held in Perquimans County at which
time a vote was had to decide who was the prettiest girl in the county. Your
mother was acclaimed the beauty.
This pickle dish was given her at that time.
I pass it on to you and Peg (Uncle Leonard's first wife). When
you no longer use it, you might like to pass it on to another of her loved ones."
Many years ago Uncle Leonard had offered it to Mary and she
accepted only to pass it on to me in April 2006. It is one of the most
cherished items that I have collected over the years to enhance the family
history of the Umphletts.

6 Clarence David (Davis) Newman - 15. Born 19 Feb 1894 in
Henderson, N.C./or In Franklin Co. N.C. Died 15 Oct 1946 in Maria
Parham Hosp. Henderson N.C. Buried in Elmwood Cem. Henderson,
N.C. Occupation Gulf Oil Co. 25 yrs/Owner of Newman & Seaman
Grocery. Religion Congregational Christian.
This man was my maternal grandfather and you will never
meet a more gentle, kind, loving man in your life. He was a Christian
man and I know of no one that was not his friend once that they met
him. He was a deacon in the Congregational Christian Church that his
father help establish and a man that was devoted to his family, friends,
job, and church.
He worked for the Gulf Oil Company in Henderson for
twenty-five years and never missed a day of work. Even though he was
in partnership with Mr. Reinhardt Phillip William Seaman in the Newman
& Seaman Grocery he only worked for a short time in the store after he
retired from the Gulf Oil Co. His father and mother, Willie Austin and
Mary Newman established the grocery store that also housed a barber
shop.
I also referred to him as Daddy Newman to distinguish him
from my father that I called Daddy Jimmie.
He was a good grandfather and we had a lot of good times
together, especially fishing. He also would bring my pony up to Henderson
from Greenville when I would spend some of my summer vacations with
him and Mother Newman.
He and Mr. Seaman helped customers of the store during
the times of the mill strikes in Henderson and provided credit that in a
lot of cases was never repaid, but they both said it was the Christian
thing to do when people had no other place to turn in trying to provide
food for their families. When the strikes were over the people appreciated
their kindness and contined to purchase their groceries at the store. The
thing that helped keep the store operating with some cash flow was
providing groceries to the schools and the National Guard that the
government had called to duty. The times were very rough for a few
years during the strikes and the time of recovery.
He was given a gold pocket watch for his twenty-five
years of service at the Gulf Oil Co. and he also had a ring with three
garnet stones that he wore. When he passed I received the watch
since my mother had died and Vashti received the ring. She gave the
ring to her husband, Bill Hicks, who wore it for awhile. One Sunday he
and I worked out a trade for he wanted the watch and I wanted the ring.
After we traded my grandmother said she always wanted the ring and
asked would I give it to her to wear until she passed. I gave her the ring
and she wore it for 15 years and I received it back after her death. I used
that ring and still wear it today for a wedding band when Barbara and I
repeated our vows after 25 years of marriage. My original band was too
small and also it was stolen when our house was broken into on Pear
Tree Road.
Daddy Newman died at a very early age, 52, of a cerebral
hemorrhage at Maria Parham hospital in Henderson.

His actions and deeds were not proclaimed from the house top.
He pursued his course through life quietly doing food here and there wherever
he could, desiring no credit for his kind deeds to humanity.
As a faithful brother he wore the badge of a Christian in full
realization of ts significance, with pleasure to himself and honor to his
fellow man.
Of his worldly wealth he was equally as liberal as with his
spiritual gifts, materially helping a distressed worthly brother, whenever
the occasion presented itself often times doing hese things at a great
personal sacrifice.
He has passed out the West Gate and gone to the Home
Eternal that house not made with hands. We shall miss him and all the
world that knew him will miss him. But our loss is his gain, for if kind deeds
receive just rewards, as we belive, there will be a place in Heaven reserved
for him.

He married Annie Hester Pardue Newman, 20 Dec 1914 in Henderson, N.C.
7 Annie Hester Pardue Newman - 16. Born 8 Nov 1894 in Kitrell,
North Carolina. Died 15 Jun 1967 in Maria Parham Hospital, Henderson, N.C.
Buried in Elmwood Cem. Henderson, N.C. Occupation Housewife. Religion
Congregational Christian.
This lady was my maternal grandmother and the loving wife of
Clarence. She never did have a job that I know of but I do know that she
took care of their home and was always there for me when I needed care
and attention. We use to live with her for awhile when I was young and
we always enjoyed our visits. Her house and the back yard met the boundry
lines of Henderson High School and I use to run to the fence between
classes and she would hand me a banana sandwich through the fence.
The first car that I had bought on my own was a 1932 "B" model Ford that
I bought for $35.00 and painted with a paint brush, red and black, and paid
$19.00 for new seat covers from Sears. I took Mother Newman, this is what
I called her opposed to calling my Mother, Mother Dot, to distinguish between
the two, on a ride in my "new" car after I fixed it up. We were out on the
Norlina Road out by the fertilizer plant and I was going to pull out on the
main road but could not see around the curve. I asked Mother Newman did
it look clear to pull out. She said, "O.K. Dig out!". That may not sound like
anything unusual about her saying that to any reader of these notes, but it
certainly was a surprise to me to hear her say those words.
When I was in the first grade she use to tell me stories
sometimes before I went to school. She would always start out with....
Once upon a time a little boy did............Well, dumb me never did figure
out the boy she was describing in the story happened to have on the
same clothes that I happened to be wearing that day. Sometimes she
would tell the same story more than one time, but we had many good
times together.
She loved to go up town especially when they put in parking
meters on the main street of Henderson, which was Garnett Street. She
would sit in the car and talk to some of the many friends that she had as
they passed by.
She loved to crochet and she made a lot of bed spreads and
dollies and other items. I still have the last bed spread that she made.

Research: Article about Martha Matthews Umphlett--in Document
Book #1, page 1B.
In the life of all of us there is someone whom we look upon
as a sort of second mother. That person by some quality or habit endears
themselves to us in early childhood, and we go on through life holding them
in reverence in a part of our heart set aside especially for them.
My memory goes back to the time when I was a little boy, to
a certain old lady whose house I visited now and then--and to the sweetest,
best cookies that a hungry boy ever put into his mouth; to mellow ripe, golden
colored little pears that grew on a tree in the yard near the house; to other
good things to eat that seemed always present when I happened by; to a
grand old lady who would put her handkerchief to my nose and tell me to
"blow" if I happened to have a bad cold, as I usually did in cold weather. I
thought she was an old woman then, and that has been 25 to 30 years ago.
Today my heart is saddened. Because yesterday I received a
telephone message that Mrs. Martha Umphlett, one of the finest women I
have ever known, had passed away at seven o"clock that morning--and I
had lost my "second mother."
Although I cannot help but feeling sad because she has been
taken away, I know I shouldn't be because I believe that if a better place is
prepared for those of us who are good after we have finished here Mrs.
Martha Umphlett has certainly gone on to that place. I know, too, that she
was not afraid to die, may have even welcomed death as a relief from the pain
and misery that has been hers since she received severe injuries in a fall a few
years ago--although she continued to be cheerful to those around her and didn't
complain for herself about her afflictions.
There are still people who live their lives to serve others. Mrs.
Umphlett was one of them. She was a hard-working, dutiful wife to the man
she married early in life. She raised a large family of fine and upstanding
children, yet she found ample time to be of service to her neighbors in time
of sickness and misfortune. She was one of those persons who glorified in
being able to do something for her fellowman to make life's path easier.
The bereaved family of Mrs. Umphlett will miss one in whom
they were won't to go for comfort in times of indecision, but they, like me,
will find a solace in the fact that she has gone on to a well-deserved rest
from nearly a century of helping and comforting others.

N.C. Occupation Housewife. Religion Protestant.
This lady I knew as Grandma Walters.
She was a maternal Great Grandmother who I do remember and
some of the times we had together.
I remember that the main room that I played in was as you walk
into the front door and it was the second room on the right. (I was born in
this home, upstairs in the bedroom to the right, the same room in which
Stokes died). Grandma Walters had a big cabinet that contained a lot of
spool and blocks that I use to play with. She also had some children books
that she use to read to me, or helped me read.
The room that we were in most of the time had a window that
you could look out of and see all of the back yard as well as the entrance
to the detached kitchen. From the side window you could see the planted
field and if anyone was in the lane from the barn to the front road.
She taught me how to gather eggs and feed the chickens, as
well as other things that had to be done each day on a farm.
She also gave me a blanket at one time that was made out of
cloth flags of the world. She obtained these flags from packages of cigarettes
that included the small little flags. (I do not think she ever smoked, but she
may have obtained them from friends, Uncle Thad, or someone in the family
that smoked). I do not not know what happened to the blanket, it may still
be in existence, or it may have burned when we had our furniture stored above
Daddy Jimmie' business that burned in Middleburg.
If you see the picture of Grandma Walters and I you may notice that
both of us had big ears that stuck out like doors wide open. She told me that I
should not worry about having such big ears for God wanted us to be able to
hear real well. (I had my ears pinned back while in the service in 1968).
I do not know how many of the stories that she use to tell me had
any moral value or influenced my behavior, but I do know that I enjoyed being
with her.
She use to come and visit us when we lived in Greenville, N.C. and
even though she was old at the time she always went with us wherever we
went. She lived to be ninety-two years old.
She had a quick mind and there was very little that passed her. I
was talking to a girl on the phone one day with just my under pants on and I
had the habit of saying, "Well, look..............". Grandma Walters said, "It's a
good thing that she can't look". (I do not have the slightest idea why this came
to my mind).
I feel that I was very fortunate to have this lady in my life.

Our Heavenly Father in his infinite wisdom saw fit to call from
our midst, one of our Faithful Members:
We, the members of the Womans Missionary Society. of the

Organizations, which was so dear to his heart.
Therefore be it resolved that in the passing of Mr. Newman, the
Society has lost a valuable member, a loyal friend and a good man.
To his dear companion, loved ones and friends, we extend our
heartfelt sympathy, and commend them to our Heavenly Father, who doeth
all things well.

Union Chapel's History
Union Chapel Marks 150th Anniversary
(Quoted from section two of The Daily Dispatch newspaper. Thursday,
April 12, 1979)
Union Chapel Church was organized in 1829 by Jonathan Fuller
and James Hunt, two local preachers who were originally members of Plank
Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church. They withdrew from Plank Chapel
because of a conflict with the pastor over the reading of a religious paper,
"Mutual Rights," published by the Methodist Protestant Church people in
Baltimore, MD., they had subscribed to. Seeking more independence from
the governing body of the church, they, along with William B. Mann, founded
Union Chapel Methodist Protestant Church
The first building was a small log house surrounded by a bush arbor
erected in the oak grove within a few yards of where the present building now stands.
Some of the charter members of the church were George Kittrell; William J. Hunt
and wife; Jonathan Hunt and wife; Benjamin Woodlief and wife, Polly; John
Woodlief and wife, Ann; and Nicholas Woodlief and wife, Lucy.
The Third Session of the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist
Protestant Church met at Union Chapel on Oct. 1, 1829, with W.W. Hill as
president and W.C. Whitaker as secretary. Thirty-eight years later, on Nov. 6,
1867, the Forty-Second Session met at Union Chapel with John L. Michaux as
president and A.C. Harris as secretary. There were 8,198 members of the
Methodist Protestant Conference at that time, served by 51 ministers. The first
Sunday school at the church was organized in 1869 by Dr. C.J.H.W. Hester.
A window in his memory now exists in the church sanctuary. In 1873, an
annual conference was held at Union Chapel, the first and only one in the history
of the church. The preachers and delegates stayed in neighboring homes and
walked back and forth to the sessions. The Fiftieth Session of the Conference
met at Union Chapel on Nov. 1, 1875, with C.F. Harris as president and J.H.
Page as secretary. There were 46 ministers in the conference with 9,090
members.
From 1889 to 1899, Union Chapel was one of four churches on a
circuit valued at $3,800, with a total of 489 members. The other churches
were Rehoboth, Mount Carmel, and Antioch. In 1899, Gillburg Methodist Church
joined the other four on the Granville Circuit. In that year, Union Chapel was
assessed $135 for the minister's salary and paid $142.25. There were 444
members on the circuit in 1900 and 459 in 1902.
In 1894, the present cemetery was put into use. Up to that time
the area immediately behind the present building had been used for this purpose.
Two Methodist ministers are buried at Union Chapel. They are the Rev. James
Hunt, who was admitted to the conference in 1832 and who died in 1848, and
the Rev. James Hugh Gilbreath, who died on March 5, 1902.
The present sanctuary was renovated in 1902 with the removal of
the slave gallery, the installation of stained glass windows, and the plastered
walls covered with a present wood paneling. Henry Finch and Dave Gill were in
charge of this work. In 1922, Gillburg church was removed from the Granville
Circuit, and the following year Antioch church was closed. This left Union
Chapel, Rehoboth and Mount Carmel on the Granville charge.
Union Chapel held a centennial celebration in 1929, observing its
100 years of service to the community, the Methodist church and to the Lord.
In 1948, the Sunday school rooms were added at the back of the
present sanctuary. Two years later, the parsonage adjacent to the church was
built, with Phillip Hunt serving as contractor. The previous parsonage had been
located at Bearpond. The Rev. Herman Winberry was the first occupant of the
new parsonage. The church's first electronic pipe organ was installed in 1950.
A new floor and new pews were placed in the sanctuary in 1956.
Two major events in the life of Union Chapel occurred in 1959.
The educational building was completed that year, with members doing most
of the work. Also, the Granville charge divided and Union Chapel became a
station church. The Rev. Carl Calloway was the first pastor of Union Chapel
in its independent status. The church purchased Rehoboth's interest in the
parsonage and became its sole owner.
In 1960, the porch and vestibule of the church were erected, gifts
of Walter and Ollie Finch. Modernization continued around the church in 1968
as the parsonage was renovated and enlarged, and new carpeting and storm
windows were added to the sanctuary.
Perhaps one of the most significant events in the appearance of
the church was the brick veneering of the sanctuary in 1972-73. Also during
this major renovation, air conditioning for the entire plant was installed and the
breezeway between the main church building and the educational building was
glassed in. In 1978, Kittrell Methodist Church was sold with Union Chapel
receiving $1,000 from that sale. Several former members of the Kittrell church
joined the congregation.
After 150 years of continuous service in the Kittrell community,
Union Chapel Church, first as Methodist Protestant, then as Methodist, and
today as a United Methodist church in the Raleigh District of the North
Carolina Conference, continues to serve.

240 William Hester - 372. Born About 1716 in Hanover County, Virginia.
Died 18 Jul 1774 in Granville Co. N.Car.
Wm. Hester received 200 acres on Christopher's Run in Louisa
County from his brother Robert Hester in 1748. The land was processioned
several times in Fredericksville parish, and he was apparently still living on
this land as late as 1760. There are no subsequent records for him in Louisa
County, nor could any record be found to show sale of the land. However, the
following year, 1761, Wm. Hester appears on the Granville County. N.C. tax
list in the household of his brother-in-law Thomas Whicker, who had moved
from Louisa County to Granville County a few years earlier. On 11 July 1763
Wm.ester, now "of Granville County", signed a mortgage to Henry Eustace
McCulloch of Halifax County, for 300 acres in Granville on the south side of
the "Trading Path". On 10 April 1768 Wm. Hester bought 200 acres from
Jeremiah Anderson, with his brothers-in-law John Whicker and Benjamin
Whicker as witnesses. Although neither deed mentioned watercourses, the
deeds to neighbors place the land in the vicinity of Tabb's Creek. Wm. Hester
appears relatively few times in the records of Granville County, but he is clearly
the same person as the son of Robert Hester. Wm. Hester witnessed a deed
from George Anderson to his brother-in-law Benjamin Whicker in 1769, and
witnessed Benjamin Whicker's sale of the same land in 1772. He and his
brother-in-law John Whicker were named executors in the will of George
Anderson in 1770. He also appears on the tax lists for Granville County during
this time.
NOTE: An article in the Oxford Post, dated July 11, 1985 describes
a Hester reunion. The Hester Home place on Roxboro Road was destroyed by
fire in 1984. Hesters still owned the land in 1985. According to the article, the
property had been in the family since the American Revolution. It said that
Zachariah took over the home place after William, Sr. died. Zachariah had three
wives and nine children, one of whom-Hamilton-continued to live there. Hamilton
had three wives and seven children. His son, Benjamin Frank Hester inherited
the place. Benjamin lived there until he died in 1926.
He married Mary Wicker Hester, 1743 in Hanover Co. Virginia.
241 Mary Wicker Hester - 373. Born 1720 in Chester Co. S.C. Died 7 Jul
1807 in Stokes County, North Carolina.
Wm. Hester's will was dated 18 July 1774 and proved in November.
His brother-in-law John Whicker and John Currin, a neighbor, were witnesses.
He left his entire estate to his wife Mary for her lifetime, then to be divided
equally among "my ten children", Robert, William, Benjamin, Francis, Mary,
Zachariah, Temperance, John, Nancy, and Lucy. Robert Hester was charged to
"live with his mother and act and do for her with the estate as he thinks proper
to do the best that he can during her life". Robert Hester and Mary Hester were
named co-executors. Mary moved to Stokes County with her son-in-law Sowell
Frazer, where she died in early 1808. Her own will was written 7 July 1807 and
proved in March 1808. She left her estate to :"my trusty and faithful son-in-law
Sowell Frazer...he having maintained me these twenty hears without any
compensation. Mary Hester is thought to have been Mary Whicker, a daughter
of Brenjamin Whicker., The Bible mentioned in the separate note gives his wife's
name as "Mary Wicker". Beyond this there is no proof, but there is some
circumstantial evidence. Some of Benjamin Whicker's children's baptisms are
noted in the St. Peter's Parish vestry book, including that of Thomas Whicker
who married Mary Hester, William's sister, and who lived next to the Hesters in
both Louisa County and Granville. Perhaps the most telling point is the presence
of Wm. Hester in Thomas Whicker's household in the 1761 tax list, and in the
large proportion of joint citations in the records for Wm. Hester and either Thomas
Whicker or otheres ssons of Benjamin Whicker. In addition Wm. Hester named a
son Benjamin. Of course, allthis can be explained hby the known relatinship via
the wife of thomas Whicker.
The ten children named in Wm. Hester's will appear to be named in
order of their birth. His son Benjamin left a will in which he made bequests to
his brothers and sisters and their children, and Benjamin Hester's estate
records help identify them.
