  • Notes 
    • Jesse is a DAR certified Revolutionary patriot (Vol. 9, p. 115, Folio 4, Revolutionary Services, North Carolina State Archives) "for hauling supplies, housing the militia and supplying meat for the Army." That "he was too old to serve in the Army," as has been said, is not necessarily true. For various reasons, many who were not too old did not go; but if he had been born before 1725 he would have been too old. I would guess he was well into his eighties in January 1815 and that he died before his son Isaac went to South Carolina in 1816.
      Elisha was twenty-seven and his first child was on the way when Jesse gave him land on Panther Creek for "love, good will and natural affection." I believe this tended to be a family pattern, possibly started by John of Chowan. When a young person showed signs of being ready, the parents tried to get him established. There are many such deeds on record- -notably among the Joseph Pipkin family of Wayne Co.
      15 January 1806 Jesse Pipkin sold to Stewart Pipkin a slave boy. Jesse was listed as "being of ... unreadable .. ." but some think "Lincoln County, North Carolina." Recorded Smith County, Tennessee, Will Bk. 5, pg. 1 72 - (1805-1809) Witnessed: Joel Hines and Lewis Pipkin.
      The last transaction of Jesse Pipkin was the grant he made to Arthur Branch 23 January 1815. Clarissa Branch was born that year, daughter of Arthur Branch and Sarah Keathley, born 1797. Sarah was the daughter of Mark and Elizabeth Pipkin Keathley. By the old rule of thumb, Elizabeth would have been born about 1776 and could have been one of the females in the 1790 census of Jesse. Nearby was a Samuel Tanner. In 1785 Tanner had sold to Jesse adjacent to Isaac Hines and the land that Jesse granted Archelaus in 1803 had once been Tanner land. In 1788 Isaac Hines "for love and affection" granted to Lewis Hines "a hundred acres in New Hanover County" a note on the abstract that I have says "now Duplin County." I don't know what this means. Duplin was formed 1750. But I don't think Lewis was as far away as New Hanover sounds.
      Jesse sold land to Margaret Pipkin/Benton (John Pipkin III 1677-1745 1/2 Sister who married Frances Benton.)

      Jesse Pipkin of Panther Creek, Lenoir County, NC
      There is no proof that this Jesse is the son of John Pipkin who left a will in Chowan County, NC in 1745. However, John Pipkin had a son Jesse Pipkin who received a slave girl Dorothy as noted in the estate. He did not receive any land that is recorded.
      This Jesse Pipkin was born at the latest by 1737-40 as he purchased land in Johnston County, NC from Joseph Benton during this period as recorded in Book 5, pg 634 of Johnston County Deeds (1758-61). He probably was older than this, for it appears that the younger sons were provided l and in John's will. Index data only, no specifics on deed.
      The deed from Joseph Benton is the first record that has been located for Jesse Pipkin being in the Johnston County area. Johnston County included what was later, Wayne, Dobbs, Lenoir & Greene until 1758.
      Jesse Pipkin received a land grant for 300 acres on Panther Creek on 13 Oct 1765. The original of this grant must be lost for it is not included in the list of land grants for Dobbs County. Jesse referenced this grant in the Wayne County Deed, Bk 7, pg 114, on 13 Feb 1801 when he deeded land to his son Elisha.
      Jesse Pipkin received a land grant for 100 acres on the east side of Buck Swamp in Duplin County, NC on 27 Apr 1767.
      Jesse Pipkin sold land to Margaret Benton as recorded on Dobbs County Deed Bk 9, pg 304 (1771-73). Index data only, no specifics.
      Jesse Pipkin bought 100 acres of land in Sampson County, NC on Wolf Branch from John Roberts, Sampson Deed Book 3, pg 377-1772. Sampson County was not formed from Duplin until 1784 and I am not real sure that is this Jesse, but is possible.
      Jesse Pipkin from Isaac Hines, Dobbs Deed Bk 10, pg 285 (1773-75)
      Jesse Pipkin from Isaac Hines, Dobbs Deed Bk 10, pg 301 (1773-75)
      Jesse Pipkin from ___ Benton, Dobbs Deed Bk 12, pg 487 (1779-84)
      Jesse Pipkin received a land grant for 150 acres on the north side of Panther Creek in Dobbs County, NC along Jonathan Benton's line on 10 Nov 1 779. Grant Book 29, p 345 of Dobbs County.
      Jesse Pipkin received 150 acres in a land grant on east side of Buck Marsh in Duplin County, NC on 21 Sep 1785. Duplin Deed Bk B, pg 90.
      26 Nov 1785, Jesse Pipkin bought 60 acres from Samuel Tanner, land joined Isaac Hines, Jesse Pipkin & Richard Robert. Wit by Daniel Hines, & Elizabeth Davis. Duplin Co Deed Bk 1A, pg 319.
      1790 Census of Dobbs County, Newbern District shows Jesse Pipkin, 1 male over 16, 4 males under 16, 3 white females, 6 slaves
      Jesse Pipkin bought 100 acres on the side of the Neuse River and south side of Cox's branch, Needham Whitfield corner, Lewis Hines corner, Jesse Pipkin line, from Bibby Bush, 24 Apr 1790. Wayne Co Deed Bk 5, pg 77.
      1790 Census has next door to Jesse, John Pipkin, 1 male over 16, 2 males under 16, 1 female, 1 slave - he is of unknown relation to Jesse, possibly an older son, but there is no record of his owning any land; he witnessed the deed of 27 Jan 1794 when Lewis Pipkin sold his land on Buck Swamp, adjoining Daniel Hines to Jonathan Keithely, same day Jesse sold his; Lewis had moved to New Hanover County, NC and was there as late as 20 Jun 1797 when he served on the jury there. I do not have the 1800 census of New Hanover County so do not know if he is there or not. I do not know if John & Lewis are sons of Jesse but sort of suspect they are.
      Jesse Pipkin sold Jonathan Keithley, 250 acres of land on 27 Jan 1794. 100 acres was patent of 27 Apr 1767; and 150 acres was patent of 21 Sep 1784 on Buck Swamp. Duplin Co Deed Bk 3A, pg 141.
      1800 Census of Lenoir County, NC - Jesse Pipkin, 1 male over 45; 2 males 16/26 & 1 male 0/16; 1 female over 45. (Probably Elisha & Archealaus 1 6/26 & Isaac under 16)
      Jesse Pipkin to Elisha Pipkin, 13 Feb 1801, 350 acres for good will and affection: 150 acres on N side of Panther Creek of 27 Oct 1779 grant; 100 acres part of Biby Bush grant & purchased from him; 100 acres west side of Panther branch part of Jesse 13 Oct 1765 grant. Wayne

      Jesse Pipkin sold Elisha Pipkin two slaves, William & Henry on 13 Feb 1808; wit: Archelaus Pipkin & D. Albertson. Wayne Co Deed Bk 9, pg 46 & 55.
      15 Jan 1806, Jesse Pipkin sold Stewart Pipkin a slave boy. Jesse was listed as being of ___ but some think Lincoln (was it Lenoir) County, NC as it was witnessed by Joel Hines & Lewis Pipkin; This is recorded in Smith County, TN, Will Book 5, pg 172 (1805-1809).
      Stewart or Steward as he is usually called was born 1784 of unknown parentage but named his 4th son Jesse; his 2nd son was John. Lewis of Smith County was born about 1764 if he was father of Jesse of Hardeman County who was born 1785.
      1810 Census of Lenoir County, NC - had Jesse Pipkin over 45 and 1 male 2 6/45 (1765/1784) which would have been Archelaus; no females, so his wife Fereba had died. Isaac Pipkin and his family are enumerated next to his father. Isaac sold his 185 acres to Archelaus on 23 Nov 1811 and is said to have gone to Marlboro, SC after his father died.
