701 Premature McAbee, Linda Ann (I11822)
 
702 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.

703 Prior to WWI Lyle was employed by a railroad company running through North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. He served in the U S Marine Corp 1918-1919. Following his military service he became employed by a construction company whose major job was the designing and building of golf courses. He first worked an apprenticeship on a job in Huntsville, Alabama. In 1921 he was assigned to Shelby N.C. where he was in charge of building shelby's first golf course at Cleveland Springs. There he met Lois Poston and they married two years later. He stayed at Cleveland Springs as golf pro for four years. Later he was golf pro at Spartanburg Country Club in Spartanburg, S.C. While there he converted the sand greens to grass and did some remodeling. There he was known for having the best clay tennis courts in the south. He then moved to Lake Lure, N.C. where he completed a golf course that had been laid out some years earlier. During those three years he designed and built golf courses at Black Mountain and Forest City, N.C. He remained in Forest City as Pro until the begining of WWII when he went into defense work with the North Carolina Shipbuilding Company in Wilmington, N.C. Following WWII he designed and built a golf course at Whiteville, N.C. His last position was as golf pro and manager of the Lake City, Fl. Country Club. There he converted the sand greens to grass and remodeled some of the holes. During that time he took three months and went to Rutherfordton, N.C. and converted their courses from sand to grass greens. Besides being good at designing and building courses he was an excellent golfer and an even better instructor. He played only a little tournament golf because he would become extremely nervous and felt it was not worth it because he did not show his potential in tournament play. Lyle, William Hobert (I1075)

709 Published Union County Death notices announced the death of Martha as "a former resident of Pacolet" who died in Whitney and buried at Brown's Chapel. She had probably moved in with her daughter Ella Phillips.

Hand written notes in the possession of Charlene Allen reference Martha Owens and James and Lola Owens. James and Lola Owens may be the parents of Martha? These notes were taken based on discussions about family that she had had years before. 		Owens, Martha A. (I7100)

717 Rebecca, J.T. Beam's first wife is referred to as having the maiden name Ranyolds, Raynolds, and Raynalds in the 1899 family history. She is said there to have been the niece of "John James Rassaw". This reference is believed by some of the Carolina clan to be to Jean Jacques Rousseau, the Geneva-born political philospher whose writings were an inspiration to the French revolutionaries of the late 18th century. I have no direct evidence of the connection, however the times and dates are in agreement, that is, Rebecca could have been Rousseau's niece. As for her real name, it is tempting to think of it as having been Reynolds, since that is a proper English name and her first name (Rebecca) is acceptable as a British one. In searching Rousseau, I came across the name Raynal, another writer and philosopher of the same period, well known to and known by Rousseau. There is no other French name in the Brittanica anything like Raynalds. Walter Beam, Jr. Raynolds, Rebecca (I5088)

He gave 10 sheep to each of his sons and daughters: RICHARD, ROBERT, VALENTINE, JACOB, JOHN, MARIAH/MARY MURPHY, ANN STRICKLAND and JAMES WILLIAMS. His grandaughter, SUSSANAH BRASWELL received a cow. He left his estate to SARAH, except for 10 shillings to each of his surviving children. He signed a petition in October 1677 to pardon his brother-in-law, WILLIAM WEST in Bacon's Rebellion: "...a rebel absconding who took up arms against the Indians by whom his father had been most barbarously murdered, was taken prisoner and carried aboard ship, from hense to prison was was condemned to death, but made his escape and has not yet been found. We pray for his life and the restitution of his estate to his wife and children." (Boddie, John B., "Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight County, Virginia.").
