Doris, I don't have any Leggett ancestors that I am aware of. I research the Helms surname. If you have not seen the Will of Sampson Doster - 1852 from Union County it can be found at the following URL on RootsWeb: ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/nc/union/wills/sampso03.txt This will talks about the children of "my daughter Polly Helms" and goes on to name six children. It also does not name which Helms male Polly married, but it does list her as being deceased.

Since we're on the subjects of the Belk family, mind if I share some misc. items I have about them? These are newspaper abstracts. If you see where I typed "...", that means there was more in the actual article, but that I condensed it here to save space. I DON'T HAVE THE ACTUAL NEWSPAPERS OR COPIES OF THEM, but abstracted these tidbits from the newspapers on microfilm at the Union County library in Monroe (has the Monroe Enquirer) or at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library in Charlotte (has the NC Argus). I think the Wadesboro library also has the Argus on microfilm. Hope this can help someone!

Here's a tidbit I found in my misc. papers. It has no indication as to where it came from, and I wasn't the one to make the original photocopy, but it's part of a typewritten page about Revolutionary War veterans: "BRITTON BELK, who was killed during the war, took his son to Charlotte for the adoption of The Declaration of Independence. This boy, JAMES BELK, told in Charlotte in 1875, when introduced to Governor Vance, what had taken place 100 years before. He was then 110 years old." ----- Original Message ----- From: DJ Peirce To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2000 8:34 PM Subject: RE: [NCUNION] Re: NCUNION-D Digest V00 #23 Well this James P.

Louise, Thank you for the article. I had heard the story, but not in such rich detail. I'm sure I must be spinning my wheels, as I'm looking so hard for that elusive proof and the complete list of the names of the 22 children of James P. Belk, son of Brittain. Seems rather than find the children, I keep getting new names of wives....? Thank you again, it was good.

Noting that a number of Union County folk are interested in Belks, I would like to contribute a story I wrote some time ago for my local history column called "Nearby History" that is printed weekly by the York (SC) supplement to the Charlotte Observer: THE DROWNING OF A. W. N. BELK by Louise Pettus More than 80 years after the event, William Henry Belk could still recall his father and several black men hitching the horses to wagons loaded with household goods. Belk was only 2 years and 8 months. He was left behind with his brothers-one 4 years old and a baby of 7 months-and his mother, Sarah Walkup Belk. In 1950 LeGette Blythe set down William Henry's memory of that day in this fashion: "My father had heard that old Sherman was heading our way on his march towards Charlotte. He had what in those days they called weak lungs, and hadn't been strong enough to join the Confederate Army. "He figured that if the Yankees came along by our place and caught him at home, they'd probably hang him and take all the horses and anything else they wanted, and burn down the house. . . ." For Abel Nelson Washington Belk the decision to leave his home on the south side of Twelve Mile Creek in Lancaster County proved to be fatal. The Yankees didn't come that far north but turned to the east when they left the town of Lancaster. Abel Belk had headed for his father's place on Gills Creek some 6 or 7 miles east of Lancaster where his father owned a small gold mine. William Henry Belk said that the Yankees "caught a fellow down that way who figured he'd save his own hide and get in their good graces by turning up my grandfather, old man Tom Belk. This scoundrel told them that my grandfather had barrels of gold hid out at his mine and he said that if they caught him they could make him tell where the gold was." It was later revealed that the troops found Abel Belk instead of his father and when they tried to force Abel to tell where the non-existant barrels of gold were hidden, Belk could only say that he did not know. He was taken to the creek and his head pushed under the water time and again in an attempt to make him talk. Abel Belk's, already sick with fever, collapsed and drowned. On March 8, 1865 Herron Belk, brother of the drowned man, wrote Sarah Belk, the widow, that "there was a certain person buried about one and half miles below here, in Graham's field, who I suppose is Abel." One of the blacks who had accompanied Abel was able to identify Abel's dead mule near the creek. Herron Belk asked Sarah Belk to bring horses (the Union forces had taken every horse in the community) and a wagon to his house so that they could move the body to Shiloh Church. After seeing her husband buried, Sarah Belk returned home to raise three little boys. A college graduate she would be able to give her sons the rudiments of an education. It would be far more difficult to operate a farm at a profit in the hard postwar years. With Alexander, Ely, Ben, Amanda and Moriah, now free, she labored and finally paid off the mortgage on the farm in 1872. In 1873 Sarah Belk married John Simpson, a man she had hired as an overseer. The family moved to Monroe, N. C. It was in Monroe that William Henry Belk, at the age of 14, went to work for Benjamin Dawson Heath in a drygoods store. He proved to be indispensable to Heath who frequently left Belk in charge while he pursued other business interests (one of his businesses was the Bank of Charlotte which evolved into the present NCNB banking chain). When he was 26, William Henry Belk opened the first store of what would become Belk Brothers, a large chain of department stores now known simply as Belk.

Hi, Thanks for writing. I have Samuel Belk m.Elizabeth Plyler abt 1830; Samuel's sister Nancy Belk m. Felton (or Phelton) D. Plyler abt 1835; and Jane Bibby m.Emanuel Plyler abt 1825-30. These were all in NC...Mecklenburg Co, before Union Co.was formed, I believe. The Bibby family lived in Lancaster Co,SC, but seemed to spend a lot of time in NC...perhaps because of relatives there. The Belks lived in Union Co (first Anson, then Mecklenburg). Does any of this sound familiar?

My Great Uncle's name was George Belk W. (not sure what the W was for) King. I have never been able to find out where the "Belk" connection happens. George's father was Benjamin Franklin King ( aka Frank--buried in Monroe) son of James G. (also buried in Monroe) son of Harmon D buried in Union County. Dawn in AZ

No. I am working on the Helms family - just happened to see the name Leggett. Gerald Helms

I am working on the Jacob, Henry, Evin, Pelez, Plyler family. Is this the same one you sre working on?

Hi to all Union Co Researchers, Are there any BELK or LEGGETT researchers among you? I'm looking for anything at all on the Leggetts/Liggetts, and I would be happy to share what I have on the Belk family and the Leggett family. I hope to fill some gaps. I'm also looking for anyone working on FLYNN/FLINN, PLYLER, POERE, COCHRAN, MELTON lines.

Gerald, Thank you for your reply. >I found John B. Underwood as the son of William M. Underwood >and Elizabeth (Betsy) Bickett. >From what source from which you found the name Bickett for Elizabeth? >Bickett is the only clue I see - could it be John Bickett Underwood.? I suppose anything is possible. Do you have any source for it? What I really need is something concrete. >You might find a clue on Elizabeth's or John's death certificate. As stated in your tag line, NC did not keep birth and death certificates until October of 1913 and since both William and Elizabeth died before 1900, this is not an option. >Descendants of William M. Underwood > 1 William M. Underwood 1827 - >.. +Elizabeth (Betsy) Bickett 1821 - 1888 >........ 2 Terza Jane (Tressie) Underwood I have Terza born 1860, and Jane born 1858, as two seperate individuals, according to 1860 and 1870 census records. >........ 2 John B. Underwood 1850 - 1924 >............ +Mary Jane (Mollie) Bickett 1850 - 1919 John B. Underwood married Mary Jane Helms (per marriage license.) Mary Jane Helms was the daughter of Uriah and Matilda Helms, per marriage license. We discussed them several years ago. >........ 2 Sarah S. Underwood 1853 - 1861 >........ 2 Mark S. Underwood 1853 - 1861 Did this come from Clara Laney's book "Union County Cemeteries 1710--1914"? If so, I belive it may be an error. I found no grave for Sarah S., but I did find one for Martin S., giving the dates listed for Sarah. I find it difficult to believe that two children born on the same day also died on the same day. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you again soon. Regards, Jo Ann Surratt

Gerald, Thanks for that great St. Patrick's Day Toast. I live in Charleston and we have quite a celebration here........parade, green beer, etc. Joy
