Notes for JACOB VOILES:
The story of James and John Voiles being twins do notadd up.
About 1755 Jacob Voils and his four sons, William, Thomas, James andJohn
Came to America from Pembrokeshire, Wales (A number of researchers places
Jacob coming from Denbighshire, Wales. There has never been any sources
found from Denbighshire, sources point to Pembrokeshire.)
The family incurredsome unexpected debts on the trip and William was
indentured to the Ship's Captain for four years to pay off the debt. It
has been said that William was very upset with his father for indenturing
him that he did not come back to South Carolina but settled in North
Carolina. William has been found in DAR records and the National Archives
listing him as a soldier in the North Carolina Militia during the
Revolutionary War.
Sometime later William's brothers followed him to Mecklenburg County,
North Carolina. and Cabarrus County. Cabarrus County was formed from
Mecklenburg County in 1792.
By the time of the 1790 census, William and Thomas were in Mecklenburg
County, James was in RowanCounty, North Carolina, John was in South
Carolina.
Thomas Voiles is listed as receiving pay from the State of North Carolina
for services during the Revolutionary War.
