Anniversary celebrations underway in Littleton
BY MARY LOU STIMSON
Lake Gaston Gazette (March 13, 2002)
 

Enjoying the recognition of their 125th Anniversary Celebration, residents of Littleton, N.C. and guests from surrounding areas filled the Lion's Club building on Ransom Ave  last Saturday. Cars overflowed the parking and continued down both sides of Ransom Street as guests arrived for the festivities.
            As guests arrived, they over channeled through an area where they could view photos of past dignitaries and important businesses that gave life to Littleton. A guest book was provided for all to sign and ladies were on hand to answer questions. Two, Rachel Ricks and Sue Skinner, were dressed in old-fashioned period attire.
            Wrenn Phillips, resplendent in his costume reminiscent of he time of the signing of the first town charter, performed his town crier duties with distinguished aplomb. Phillips, who has been performing in this capacity since 1979 in various communities, admitted that he has “got this act down good.” And he is right.
            Mayor Mason Hawfield welcomed the guests and recognized celebrities present and thanked all those who made the day possible. Sallie Hawfield, his wife, could be spotted graciously welcoming guests to the celebration she spent so much time and energy preparing for.
            Taking the stage were members ‘Of the Sourwoood Mountain Blue Grass Band, who played some old time blue grass music for the guests.
            Dr.William R. Jones, a Littleton native and Rocky Mount physician, took the podium to relate “What Littleton Means To Me.” He recalled people and occurrences from the time he spent in Littleton and recalled names and places to reminisce about with those present.
•           Special recognition was offered to Becky Leach Dozier, who grew up in Littleton and has published two books, “Looking Back on Littleton,” and “Town
Leaders,” concerning life in Littleton.
            Brady Martin, a Lake Gaston resident with a special place in his heart for the town of Littleton appeared as a vocal soloist, accompanied by Betty Willis on piano.
            With the signing of the charter by Mayor Hawfleld and the placement of articles in the time capsule, there was still time for merriment and conviviality toward the end of the program. The time capsule, which is to be sealed until 2027, was large enough to contain a multitude of items.
            Among those items were a poem by Betty Willis, copies of the town's ordinances, a cook book, a special Cancellation Stamp and local newspapers, one of which was the Lake Gaston Gazette, signed by the editor, Pam Roux and
feature writer Mary Lou Stimson.
            Future events will be announced in The Lake Gaston Gazette as dates draw nearer.

PEGGY A. GIVENS  has graciously allowed us to use this excerpt from her book " JAMES A. STEWART: SOMEWHERE IN TEXAS" @1994, on the early connection between Menzies/Shands.  This book is out of print currently.

 James Minge/Menzies came to America with his nephew Thomas Shands, who is  my earliest Shands' ancestor.  Thomas Shands was born @  1652 and his  father is shown to be an Alexander Shands of Scotland.  In some records,  James Minge/Menzies is said to have come from Wales to America.  Perhaps  he was in Wales serving the King of England is some
capacity.  James  Minge was a major player in Bacon's Rebellion and is said to have written
 the laws following the Rebellion.  James Minge was the secretary/clerk to  the House of Burgesses, earning as much as the Governor of  the Virginia Colony.  In the book RELIQUES OF THE RIVES, it states that Mr. Minge was the Secretary of the Colony of Virginia. James Minge and  Thomas Shands married  sisters, daughters of Robert Harrison and his wife  Elizabeth Comins.

 Now for the excerpt from JAMES A. STEWART: SOMEWHERE IN TEXAS:

    "Dr. Robert Shands and his widow Margart of Shands Hospital, Inc., New Albany, Mississippi, corresponded for a number of years with  Mr. R. E. Shands from 27 Milton St., Maidstone, Kent, England.  On 24 Feb. 1964, he wrote Margaret expressing his grievance at finding that Dr. Robert had died and at such an early age.  This cousin had done much research on the Shand/Shands family of Scotland.  At the time of writing his condolences, 24 Feb. 1964, he had in his possession a book from the Aberdeen Public Library, which was written in 1877 by Rev. George Shand  on the history of the name and the family.

    "All of Rev. George Shand's facts were obtained from ancient manuscripts, public and private records, etc., and from the writing of antiquarians and genealogical specialists.  Rev. Shand
concluded that the  Shand and Shands are one and the same. It was merely a medieval plural
 indiscriminately applied at the period when spelling was a matter of choice and not bound by modern laws.  There are many instances where a Mr. Shand has children who are called Mr. and Mrs. Shands, this being evident in each century up to the nineteenth.  The question of medieval
spelling seems to have been solved by the Kent, England, cousin as such. 'The Thomas Shands, who arrived in the late 1600s with James Minge, his reputed relative, puzzled me at first, but I solved it soon. Minge is the style then of spelling Menzies, which in Scotland is pronounced as Mingies.  The Shands of that time from the mid-fourteenth century (1350s) were very friendly with Menzies family, intermarried with them and were closely related in business.  In 1588 Alexander Shand died in the highly  confidential post of secretary to Gibbert Menzies, Provost
of Aberdeen.  This Alexander's brother, Thomas, is named with Nan Reid whose mother was
 of the Menzies of Durne.  It is from these, the progenitors of all the Shands, that we are descended."

Wyatt Family Research Notes

by Donald M. Ricks

These are unedited excerpts from my personal research notes for November 1996, the information taken mainly from the sources cited. This research included the Wyatt family, of Perquimans County, North Carolina, and Virginia. The notes are for reference only. I found that many families in Perquimans County originated in Charles City, Isle of Wight, Prince George, and Surry Counties, Virginia. If you have any questions, please contact me at:

"Wyatt or Wiatt Families"

The William and Mary Quarterly, Ser. 1, Vol. 10, No. 1 (July 1901), p. 59

An account of the various families of this name was given in Quarterly, III, p. 35, 74; VI., 257. Owing to the loss of county records the statement is not as conclusive as might be wished.... The early Wyatts in Virginia who cannot be duirectly connected are: (p. 61)

(5) Capt. Anthony Wyatt (of whom hereafter) (To be Continued)

"Wyatt Families"

The William and Mary Quarterly, Ser. 1, Vol. 10, No. 4 (July 1903), p. 261:

(5) Anthony Wyatt was a member of the House of Burgesses for Charles City county in 1645, 1653, and 1656. He lived at Chaplin's Choice, near Jordan's Point in that part of Charles City county, now called Prince George. This place in 1619 was the plantation of Capt. Isaac Chaplin, who represented it in the first House of Burgesses. In 1686 Capt. Nicholas Wyatt patented it anew, discribing it as in area 361 acres and lying on James River between Parson's and Bicker's Creeks. He states that by the burning of his father's house and that of the secretary at Jamestown, the original patent to Chaplin's had been lost. In 1676, Nicholas Wyatt, the son was a supporter of Nathaniel Bacon, and a brother-in-law of Capt. William Rookins, of Surry county. (Surry Records.) He married Frances (Rookins?), and in 1680 was one of the justices of the county, with the title of captain. In 1715 he confirmed to Edward Hill, of Charles City county, certain land known by the name of Burleigh and the Old Town, which had been left to his sons Anthony and Nicholas by the will of George Sparrow, of Martin's Brandon, dated Feb. 16, 1675, and which land had been sold by Nicholas Wyatt, Sr., by deed 15 Feb., 1680, for 7,000 pounds of tobacco and 31 £ of lawful money, to Edward Hill, Sr., of Charles City county, Esq., dec'd, the money having been paid, pursuant to said Sparrow's will, to his son Anthony Wyatt, the other son, Nicholas, dying in infancy. The deed was witnessed by William Braine, John Wyatt, and Peter Finney. Capt. Nicholas Wyatt, "aged and weak," made his will in Prince George county, April 14, 1720, and it was recorded December 2, 1720; names Elizabeth Wyatt, daughter of son Anthony Wyatt, deceased, granddaughters Frances Wyatt and Susan Wyatt, grandson John Wyatt, Nicholas Reeks, son of daughter Susannah Reeks, dec'd, legacy to Anthony Wyatt, and son Edward, to whom my plantation and land. There is a deed from John Sykes and frances his wife, of Prince George, for sixty acres in the Old Church Fields, at a place called Martin Brandon, being the lower third of the land on which Anthony Wyatt lived, and which he was siezed in right of his wife Elizabeth, and which afterwards descended to John Wyatt (as heir at law to said Elizabeth), and who dying seized thereof the said land descended to his three daughters, of whom Frances Sykes is one, dated February 10, 1722. On May 10, 1726, Capt. Edward Wyatt, Sr., of Martin Brandon, made his will, naming daughters Elizabeth and Sarah Wyatt, and sons Edward and Francis. In 1728 Edward Wyatt, son of Edward Wyatt, had not yet attained twenty-one. (Deed.) Henry Wyatt, of Prince George, and Mary, his wife, sold a slave to Hon. John Carter, of Charles City county (Note b.) Feb. 3, 1727, which slave was devised to said Mary, by Edward Hill, of Charles City county, deceased. In 1718-19, Michael Talbot, of Prince George, left legacies to Edward, Eliza, and Francis Wyatt, children of Capt. Edward Wyatt and to John Reeks. In 1721, the estate of Anthony Wyatt was credited with the cost of the burying of Hanah Wyatt and John Wyatt. Edward Wyatt. It appears, then, that Capt. Anthony Wyatt (died about 1645) had issue, Capt. Nicholas2 Wyatt (died about 1720), who married Frances ---, and had issue Anthony3, Nicholas, died infant, Edward3, and Susanna3, who married [Benjamin; this is proved by a Goochland Co., Va., deed] Reeks, and had Nicholas.

Anthony3 Wyatt (Nicholas2, Anthony1), married Elizabeth ---, and had issue (1) John4Wyatt, who died before 1721, leaving three daughters, of whom Frances married John Sykes; (2) Elizabeth, (3) Anthony.

Capt. Edward3 Wyatt (Nicholas2, Anthony1), died in 1725, and left issue, (1) Edward2, (2) Frances, (3) Elizabeth, (4) Sarah.

Edward4 Wyatt (Capt. Edward3 Wyatt (Nicholas2, Anthony1) was dead before 1760, when "Edward Wyatt, son of Edward Wyatt, dec'd," was apprenticed to Theodorick Bland, to be instructed as county clerk till twenty-one years of age.

Frances4 Wyatt, son of Capt. Edward3 Wyatt, married Elizabeth, and had Elizabeth, born December 22, 1732; Susanna, born June 15, 1742.

Henry4 Wyatt, who was probably a son of Anthony3 Wyatt (son of Capt. Nicholas2 Wyatt), married Mary ---, and had issue Francis Wyatt, born about 1760, who lived in North Carolina and had three sons, Capt. John Wyatt [Perquimans Co.], a soldier of the war of 1812. Anthony and Douglas Wyatt, was a descendant of this Wyatt family. These brothers removed first to Montgomery county, Ky., and afterwards, about 1816, to Missouri. (See Virginia Magazine of History and Biography.)

Note b.-It might seem that Henry Wyatt did not belong to the Prince George county Wyatts. There is a deed among the Massie papers in the Virginia Historical Society from Henry Wyatt, of Prince George county, for the site of a mill in New Kent county, 13 Jamuary 128. In 1726 there was born to Henry Wyatt, of New Kent, a daughter Mary.

The Minge Family

rearranged by Donald M. Ricks

An article appearing in The William and Mary Quarterly provides considerable information on the James Minge family(Note 1):

[Generation One]

“MINGE.—James1 Ming was a clerk of the General Assembly in 1673, and in 1676 was a friend of Nathaniel Bacon Jr. He resided in Martin Brandon Parish, Charles City county (afterwards Prince George county).

[Generation Two]

In 1693 James2 Minge, probably son of the first named, was clerk of James City county. In 1693 a deed recorded in York county names the following children of Robert Harrison, gent., of York county: “Nicholas, James, Amadea, wife of James Minge, of Charles City county, gent., and Frances, wife of Thomas Shands.”

[Generation Three]

In 1712 deeds were recorded in Surry county from James3 Minge, “eldest son of James Minge, deceased.” This James Minge must have been the third descent. He probably moved to North Carolina, as in 1722 James Minge, of North Carolina, appointed Captain Edward Wyatt, of Prince George county, Virginia, as his attorney in fact. [Hathaway writes that James Minge “of Martin Brandon, Virginia,” married Ruth Laker 16 October 1701. (Note 2) James Minge, of Perquimans Precinct, “Departed this lif on ye 23d of January 1723/4.”(Note 3) On 29 April 1724, his widow, Ruth Laker Minge, sold part of her late husband’s land to John Wiatt (Wyatt) for 100 pounds, land on or near land originally granted to her father, Benjamin Lakers. (Note 4) Evidently, when the deed was recorded in 1712, James3 Minge was living in Perquimans County. It is almost certain that the above John Wiatt (Wyatt) was of the same family as Captain Edward Wyatt. See the Wyatt Family material for further information.

Valentine3 Minge is mentioned in 1716 as son of James Minge, deceased.

[Generation Four]

A deed recorded in Surry county and dated March 18, 1741, from John4 Minge and George Minge to Benjamin Harrison is for land given to them by their father, Valentine3 Minge, who made his will March 18, 1719. John4 Minge lived at Weyanoke, in Charles City county, and his widow, Elizabeth, qualified on his estate in 1746 (Charles City county records).

[Generation Five]

He [John4 Minge] left among other children, it is believed, John5 Minge Jr., who was one of the justices of Charles City county as early as 1737. He [John5] married Rebecca (Jones?), administrator of Thomas Collier, deceased, and had David6 Minge, eldest son.”(Note 5)

William J. Hux, merchant at Essex, was born in Halifax County, N.C., May 19, 1856 and is the son of Ben D. and Anna (Barnes) Hux, natives of the same county. The father had reached the age of seventy-nine when he died in 1885, and his widow still lives in her North Carolina home. The seven children born to them are all living as follows: Francis M., Benjamin F., Thaddeus R., Edward J., Lewis F., William J. and Eliza C.E., all of whom are married and with the exception of William and Lewis, live in North Carolina. William was twenty-one years of age when he came to Missouri and located at Essex in 1877. Mr. Hux is now the owner of two houses and lots in Essex and has a finely selected and extensive stock of general merchandise with which to supply a large trade, which has grown up under his management. He was married on March 2, 1884 to Miss Fanny B. Bradford, and their union has resulted in two children: Anna U. and Edna B. Mrs. Hux is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, while both also belong to the order of the Golden Rule. Mr. Hux has labored hard to be independent - always choosing truthfulness and honest, by which he has made hosts of friends, who say he is good to the needy and never refuses an honest man. He stands second to none in promptness.
