Individual Details
Lewis B. Barfield Sr.
(Bef 1734 - Bef 1814)
The parentage of this Lewis is still undetermined, I place him here as a probable scenario. He appears from the following deeds to be a contemporary of Anthony Jones, who married Mary Barfield (daughter of Richard II) in 1759. If he is also a son of Richard II, he would be Anthony Jones' brother-in-law. The earliest deed I have found for him dates 1755 in which he buys from Solomon Barfield land which he later sells in 1760 to Anthony Jones. The latter deed was witnessed by Jesse Barfield. A male could witness deeds as young as 14, but had to be 21 to buy or sell land. This calculates Lewis's birth to 1734 or earlier. Another researcher had this note: "In 1755, Solomon Barfield sold Lewis Barfield 130 acres of land for 11 pounds. Barfield researcher John Martin Oates says these two are brothers. Solomon is in the Duplin 1754 Will of Richard Barfield and Lewis is not. It is not uncommon for some one to be left out of a Will when they may have been giving their share of goods in other ways or times."
Most of the following deeds mention Burncoat Swamp which is in the Albertson Quadrangle. The map I have of this area (researched and drawn by Thomas M. Byrd) shows only one Barfield - Lewis. He has four land grants dated 1769, 1779,1791 & 1801. Neighboring land owners to Lewis by Burncoat Swamp on the map include William & Frederick Graddy, William Kornege, George Smith, James & John Williams, Robert Beverly, Lewis Barnes, Jacob Lawken, Loftis Worley, Wm Hubbard, Robert Walker, Frederick Smith and others.
NW from Albertson in Williams and Mt. Olive Quadrangles are found land grants to Jesse, Stephen, Solomon and Frederick Barfields. In Warsaw Quadrangle are two small grants to a Lewis Barfield dated 1804 & 1808, but as they are imbedded in William Taylor's grants, I assume they belong to the Lewis Barfield who m. Catherine McCulloh the only heir to William Taylor.
