Individual Details

The middle name Francis is only found so far in LDS records, I do not know its source or if correct.

(from the memoirs of Pauline Craig Hughes)
"My great grandfather, Jesse Barfield, - a son of the emigrant - lived in Samson County, N.C., and there my grandfather, Lewis Barfield, was raised. .... Jesse married Sarah Castelo, daughter of Thomas Castelo, an Irishman. To Jesse and Sarah Barfield were born nine children, seven of which reached maturity - Frederic, Stephen, Charity, Solomon, Lewis, John and Thomas."

In 1766 Jesse bought from his brother Henry the land that his father Richard had willed Henry in 1755 (Sampson Co. Book 1, 206). This was land that Richard had conveyed to him from Edward Outlaw in 1752. Henry had already moved to South Carolina.

The Duplin County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions Minutes for 1784 thru 1787 shows that on Wednesday, April 18, 1787, the Court exhibited an addtional inventory of the estate of Jesse Barfield and appointed a committee to settle the accounts of Jesse Barfield and report to the next court. The court also ordered Frederick Barfield, the administrator of the estate of Jesse Barfield, to sell the perishable part of the Estate and report to the court.
July 17, 1787: One account current with the Estate of Jesse Barfield, Deceased, was exhibited by Frederick Barfield, Administrator; the Court concurred and ordered it filed. This appears to be the probating and settling of Jesse Barfield's estate by his son, Frederick.
