NC Civil War Pension Application of Sarah Elizabeth [Page] Huneycutt

On 1 July 1902, Sarah Elizabeth [Page] Huneycutt, age 68, of  Wadesboro, NC applied for a Widow pension for the service of her husband during the Civil War.

Her husband, James W. Huneycutt, had recently passed away on 19 November 1896. During the War, he had served in Company “C”, 42 NC Infantry.

There is an error on page 1 of this application where it states that James served in the 42 and strike-through was made and South Carolina written in; the 42th was a NC Regiment and James served with this NC Regiment. [https://www.fold3.com/image/271/49881976]



She stated the following:
She married before 1861 [actual marriage date was 20 May 1855]
Her husband died about Nov 1896 [died 19 Nov  1896]
She received a pension in South Carolina in June 1901 - She moved to North Carolina in October 1901- and has since that date and is now a resident of North Carolina.

John Dry was her witness to statements made within her NC Widow’s Application for a Pension.
John Dry was the son of Charles Andrew Dry and his wife Leah Tucker. John Dry and Sarah’s husband, James W. Huneycutt, were cousins.





James W. Huneycutt  and his wife Sarah Elizabeth [Page] Huneycutt are my paternal 2nd Great Grandparents.

Bro. Valentine Brock Passes Away

Valentine “Vol” Brock

b. abt 1821, Alabama

d. 22 February 1881

Son of James L. Brock and Elizabeth Purvis

bu. Brock Cemetery, Walthall County, MS

Bro. Brock was born in Alabama about A. D. 1825, and moved with his parents to Pike County, Miss, in A. D. 1828, in which county he lived until his death. Bro. Brock was married to Miss Barthana Ginn in 1845. He united with the Silver Creek Church in August 1869. He withdrew his membership in 1873 to go into the constitution of Bogue Chito Church, of which he remained an honored member until his death, Feb. 22, A.D. 1881. Bro. Brock was a man of sorrow and acquainted with grief, having had two sons killed; and but a little while before he was called the Lord very suddenly called his companion, which added greatly to the old man's sorrow. But the Lord did not leave him long in loneliness. Although his trials were so great and his sorrow so deep, his faith was firm and unwavering. It may truly be said of him, that he has come through great tribulation and has washed his robe and made it white in the blood of the lamb. Bro. Brock has gone where no sorrow can come; his troubles are all over; his soul at rest with that Saviour he loved.
Dearest brother, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But 'tis God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled,
Then in heaven with joy to greet the,
Where no farewell tear is shed.


Valentine and Bethany have a beautiful tombstone and portrait on their FindAGrave memorial.


Valentine Brock is my 2 cousin 4 times removed.

It’s Family Time~Mark and Catherine Hancock Rivers

Irena Catherine Hancock was born in Jan 1822 in Chesterfield, Chesterfield County, South Carolina. Her parents are unknown.

Irena Catherine Hancock and Mark S. Rivers were married in Feb 1840 in Chesterfield, Chesterfield, South Carolina.

Mark S. Rivers, son of Mark Rivers and Annie Parker, was born about 1808 in Chesterfield, Chesterfield, South Carolina.

They had no children. Shortly after their marriage in February 1840, they decided to move to Mississippi joining Mark’s Sister Amelia ‘Milly’ Rivers and her husband Moses Holifield who had also recently moved to from Chesterfield.

Then sometime in the 1850’s Mark and Millie’s brother Luke Rivers moved his wife and family to Jones County, Mississippi.

1860 CENSUS: Ellisville, Jones County, Mississippi, 17 Oct 1860, Roll M653_584; Image: 127; Family History Library Film: 803584; Page 705, Line 7, Dwelling #303, Family #303; Luke RIVERS, age 45, Farmer, born in SC (1815); Saline RIVERS, age 32, born in SC (1828); Sarah C. RIVERS, age 15, born in SC (1845); John RIVERS; age 13, born in SC (1847).



Trouble be-seized the family and on 1 January 1859, Mark Rivers filed a complaint in Open Court for a divorce accusing Catherine Rivers, his wife, of adultery.

The State of Mississippi
Jones County
Pleas before the Honorable William M. Hancock Judge of the 8th Judicial Circuit Court
District of said State while presiding in Chancery.
Be it remembered that a regular term of the Chancery Court was begun and held in and for said County at the courthouse thereof in the Town of Ellisville on the 3rd Monday of April  A.D. 1859 it being the time and place designated by law for holding said court.  Present the Honorable Wm M. Hancock Judge and Chancellor of the County E. M. Duvall Sheriff of said county.  D. M. Shows clerk of said Court.
Mark Rivers
vs.     Divorce
Catherine Rivers
Be it remembered that the plaintiff in the above stated case did on the first day of January A.D. 1859 file his bill of complaint in the clerks office of said court which is in the words and figures following to wit…

The divorce was granted on 19 April 1959. Yet, Mark and Catherine continued to live together as husband and wife.

1860 CENSUS: Ellisville, Jones County, Mississippi; Roll: M653_584;  Image: 127;  Family History Library Film: 803584, 17 Oct 1860, Page 705, Line 11; Dwelling 304, Family 304; Mark RIVERS, age 52, Farmer, born in SC (1808); Arena C. RIVERS, age 46, born in SC (1814); J. H. DRIMAN, age 17, born in MS (1843).


On 5 January 1868, Mark Rivers petitioned the court to have 3 destitute Holifiled children apprentice to him for care. These Holifield children were the grandchildren of Mark’s sister Milly and her husband Moses Holifield.

This day came Mr. Rivers who is a resident of said County and brought with him Milly Holifield Ranson Holifield aged twelve years Ransom Holifield aged ten years and Miles Holifield aged eight years and makes known to the County, that they orphans and destitute of the necessary means of support and makes application to the Court to have the, apprenticed to him until they respectively attain full age of twenty one years and the said Rivers consenting to taker the said Milly, Ransom, & Miles Holifield…

Even though Mark had divorced Catherine back in 1859 he became very benevolent in 1878. I believe that Mark knew he was dying because on 22 Mar 1878, he made a Deed of Gift to Catherine Rivers for 198 acres of land in Choctaw County, Alabama. (DB “N”, pages 381-382).

I believe Mark Rivers died sometime before 8 September 1879. On 8 Sep 1879, Irena Catherine Hancock and George S. Fagan were married in Choctaw County, Alabama.

George S. Fagan, son of Patsy Fagan, was born about 1807 in SC. George died before 1900. Catherine lived a few more years and is believed to have passed away before 1903.

George S. Fagan and Irena Catherine Hancock reared the following child:
i. Amanda J. Fagan was born about 1860.

George S. Fagan and Irena Catherine Hancock Rivers are beleived to be the biological parents of Amanda J. Fagan.

Mark S. Rivers is my 4th Great Grand Uncle.

Sometime near 11 January 1866, one of the children, Frederick III,  passed away leaving 6 remaining children.

On 28 April 1869, five of the remaining six children, William, Sarah, Lewis, Eliza and Calvin sold their interest in their parents estate lands (162 + acres) to their brother David T. Rivers for $500.00 dollars. [Chesterfield County, SC; Deed Book 4, pages 497 and 498].  

Another Chesterfield Land Deed (DB 4, pages 263 to 265] shows that the six children sold 69 acres to B. F. White for three hundred and sixty seven dollars ($367.00).

Finding the Correct Name of the Wife of Lewis Boatwright, Jr.

In 1927, Harry Alexander Davis published an unsourced book of the David/Davis family entitled “The Davis family (Davies and David) in Wales and America : genealogy of Morgan David of Pennsylvania.”

The book has been widely used by Davis researchers within the United States. The book is not without errors and as stated before none of the information within the book has been sourced. One of those errors will be addressed in this web post.

On pages 54 and 55 of the book, Mr. Davis shows that the 7th child of Thomas Davis and Nancy Rivers was a daughter name Margaret Elizabeth who married Lewis Boatwright.



Elizabeth did marry Lewis Boatwright, Jr. but in several deeds related to his estate, she maintains that her name is Elizabeth Rebecca NOT  Margaret Elizabeth as stated in the Davis book. See Chesterfield County Land Deeds, DB 1, page 46-47 and DB 3, page 301-302.

One child of Margaret and Lewis is not mentioned in the Davis book. That child was Louisa Ann who married Duncan Teal. Dates for individuals do not match census records; there is a known death date for Lewis but no known death date exists for Elizabeth Rebecca Davis Boatwright.
