Lucinda WEATHERS was my great-grandmother. She was born about 1834 in Wake Co. Her parents were William WEATHERS and Elizabeth Ann KING. William was born in Wake Co in 1801 and died in Wake Co in or about 1860. My information on his parents is uncertain. I believed at one time his father was James WEATHERS, but I have found no corroboration. I also was told that William's grandfather was another William WEATHERS, born 26 March 1750 in Surry Co, Virginia, who married Elizabeth (last name unknown) in Elizabeth City Co, now the city of Hampton, about 1770. William died in Wake Co, NC, in 1784. I have reliable information on this William's parents and grandparents. Any information that tends to clarify this family and fill in my gaps would be greatly appreciated, and I'll happily share the information I have.

I have tracked my Redding family from Surry/Sussex County, Virginia to Halifax County, NC, to Wake County, NC in the 18th century. The Weathers and King families was connected with them in Virginia, and the King family in Wake County, NC. This may be helpful to Tom Aiken in researching the Weathers family (and associated King family). Sam Redding Surry (later Sussex after 1753) County, Virginia Timothy Redding, Senior. A Timothy Redding was imported in 1692 by Solomon Crooke to Bristol Parish, Charles City County (Prince George County after 1703), Virginia, along with Elis. Clarke, sued Captain Thomas Busby in 1693, and settled on Joseph Swamp along the county line between Prince George and Surry (later Sussex) Counties, where he was in land records by 1701. In 1701 he was located near John King, John Dobey, Cotschurch branch, Richard Gourd, between Joseph's Swamp and Jones Hole. Mary Redding born January 15, 1753, was christened in Albemarle Parish, Surry County, Virginia on February 18. Father: John Redding, Mother: Sarah. Godparents were William Weathers, Mary Weathers, and Amy Bailey [or Bagby]. William Weathers (whose wife was Mary Rives) witnessed a Sussex County land transfer in 1754 to Henry Mitchell, who is associated with Arthur Redding. John Redding, then, was possibly a son of Arthur Redding. November 17, 1750: Francis Redding was godparent to Joel King, born this date, son of John and Mary King, with David Woodrun (elsewhere Woodroffe) and Frances Williams as other godparents. In this transcription of the Albemarle Vestry record, Boddie has the children of John and Mary King as: Moses (1/21/1742); Amy (2/14/1746), James (2/14/1746), and Joel (11/17/1750). Godparents of other children included: William King, Richard King, Jr., Anne King, Nathaniel Hood, Thomas Battle, Mary Rodgers, and Anne Evans. A family record of the King family shows Joel King born in Surry, Virginia, November 17, 1750, died 1822 in Talbot, Georgia, son of John and Mary Powell King, Revolutionary War veteran, received bounty land in Georgia, married Mary Adkins in 1775 in Georgia. Wake County, North Carolina On April 17, 1787, the estate of Drury King was sold in Wake County, and Francis Redding was named the administrator. Accounts were settled over the next 10 years, and purchases were made by Francis Redding, Francis Redding, Jr., James Redding, Henry Temple, Francis King, and Wright Hilliard. April 22, 1787: Francis Redding was the bondsman for the marriage of Wrightman Hillard/Hilliard to Elizabeth Brown a few days after the estate sale of Drury King. ________________________________ From: ncwake-bounces@rootsweb.com on behalf of Rootsnva@aol.com Sent: Thu 11/29/2007 4:10 PM To: NCWAKE@rootsweb.com Subject: [NCWAKE] WEATHERS family Lucinda WEATHERS was my great-grandmother.

Sam, If you have seen the estate sale in Wake Co. of John King in 1801 which Needham, John & Jeptha Freeman attended, the Freemans are sons of my ancestor John Freeman, d. 1800 Wake Co.. Son Needham named a son Redding/Redden/Reddin Freeman. I can find no marriage between the families and figure Needham must have just thought a lot of the Redding family to give a son that name. Any ideas? John also had a Francis Freeman & a Clary Freeman, which are also King names.
