Deed book 6, page 429, shows that she paid 75 pounds proclamation money and quitrents to Kirby Sanders for 246 acres on Crooked Creek. Her Son-in-law, Daniel McKinney, husband of Sarah, had purchased 100 acres on Crooked Creek in October 1777 (Deed book 6, page 309) and this may have influenced her to come to North Carolina. Mary's two sons, Isham and Jesse, witnessed the deed. On April 10, 1798 Mary Weathers sold the Crooked Creek property to Vincent Sanders, 246 acres for 246 dollars. She was, according to the deed living in York County, South Carolina at this time. Her Daughter Sarah was also living in York with her Husband Daniel and six children. Many of the Sussex, Virginia group who had moved to Franklin County, North Carolina migrated together to Mecklenburg, North Carolina and York, South Carolina counties. Mary's deed was again witnessed by Isham and Jesse. Deed book 4, page 72, Franklin County, North Carolina shows Jesse Weathers sold 250 acres for 250 silver dollars to Ruben Rogers of Sussex County, Virginia, 10 Sept 1784. Deed book 6, page 234, Franklin County, North Carolina shows Jesse Weathers sold 214 acres for 150 pds. to John Barrow of Southampton County, Virginia in 1790. Jesses' wife, Milley, is mentioned in the deed, indicating that this may have been the "home place".

    Other Events:

    • Cemetery: Wellmon/ Zion Baptist Church Cemetery, Cleveland County, NC
    • Military Service: Revolutionary War

    Notes:

    Prior to his residence in Rutherford County ( now Cleveland), North Carolina, Willis had served in the Revolutionary War. His pension application id GSA File 57862. In this document Willis states that he entered service from Franklin County, North Carolina on 28 September 1780 as a drafted militia man under the command of Captain Jenkins Devaney in Colonel Heart's regiment later commanded by Colonel Brench under General Jones. He also said that he marched to Waxaw in South Carolina and returned and was discharged at Providence, North Carolina and entered service again as a volunteer in the fall of 1781in Franklin County, North Carolina for a term of twelve months under Captain John McKees who was under General Sumner. He later marched into South Carolina under Captain Hall in General Green's army and was discharged at Bacon Bridge in South Carolina. He stated that he had no record of his age. (Willis was born 29 March 1758 and christened 1 May 1758 with Ben Tomlinson, Edward Smith and Sarah Bradley as Godparents. This record is from Albemarle Parish Register kept by Reverend William Willie of Surry and Suxxex Counties in Virginia.) He adds that he was living in Franklin County when he entered the military; that he lived 11 years in York District, South Carolina and 3 years in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina and has lived in Rutherford County since that time which has been upwards of thirty years. He states that he was acquainted with Colonel Little (probably Lytle), Major Dunahoo, General Green and major Armstrong. He claimed that he had a discharge from Captain Hall but has since lost it. He named Drury Dobbins and John Bennett who could testify as to his character and veracity and their beliefs as to his services in the Revolutionary War. Drury Dobbins and John Bennett did sign a statement saying that they believed Willis to be a soldier in the Revolutionary War. William McKinney swore that he was acquainted with Willis Weathers and knows of his entering the service for twelve months. (William McKinney's mother was Sarah Weathers, sister of Willis Weathers) William McKinney served as a soldier in the Revolution with Willis during Willis' second term and stated that he has good reason to believe that Willis had served the other term as claimed since he had been acquainted with him throughout his life and that he had always been an esteemed and upright and a truthful individual. "Certificate 16795 issued 25 September 1833, Rate Fifty Dollars per annum Commenced 4 March 1831, Act of 7 June 1832 North Carolina Agency". This appears on the GSA records in Washington D.C. His death date is not included, but his grave marker in the Wellmon cemetery, Cleveland County, North Carolina gives the date of 1840. In "The History of Zion Church" by Lyda Poston, the author states that the first plot of land for the church was three acres purchased from Willis Weathers 5 April 1814. This land was located near the old Weathers Mill, later known as the old Lutz Mill. The land was bought for twenty dollars by the Anabaptist Church or Society at Zion. J.D. Weathers (Devaney) and A.G. Weathers (Albert), sons of William and grandsons of Willis, are listed as deacons serving the early period of church history.
