Notes for Philip Hinson and Mary

Philip Hinson and Mary were plausibly the parents of Kizannah Hinson, the wife of Micajah Pickett, based on the 1777 will of Philip Hinson in Camden District, South Carolina. Kizannah/Rosanna Pickett was named as one of his daughters. The notes below summarize what we know, along with several uncertainties about this family. Philip's name sometimes appears as Phillip and several variations of his last name appear as Hinson, Henson, and Hanson. Several documents naming Philip Hinson were recorded in the Pee Dee River basin in Bladen and Anson Counties of North Carolina, including St Marks and St David parish, South Carolina. The border between North and South Carolina changed during this time and records are found in both states.

Notes for Philip Hinson of Bladen/Anson County, North Carolina. The location of two of Philip's tracts in the Pee Dee and Cape Fear River watersheds are shown on maps. A tract described in a 1735 deed was at the junction of Rockfish Creek with the NorthWest River (now the Cape Fear River) near Fayetteville, South Carolina. A tract described in a 1741 deed was at the junction of the Rocky River with the Pee Dee River near Ansonville, South Carolina. These two tracts were about 90 miles apart. Other nearby landholders included Jasper King, Benjamin Dumas, John Hicks, John Westfield, John Goodwin, John Williams, John Clark.

1735 Phillip Hanson was granted 320 acres (one-half square mile) in Bladen District North Carolina "on ye E side of NW River about six miles above Rockfish Creek and joyns the upper side of Mich Blockers land beginning at an oak … ", joining Michael Blocker and the river. Dated February 20. [1] [2] "The following persons proved their rights … Philip Hinson 640 Bladen". [3] 1770 Map showing Rocky River and Rockfish Creek: [4] 1775 Map showing Rocky River and Rockfish Creek: [5]

Two land holdings of Philip Hinson. [6]
1735 Rockfish River joins the NorthWest River
from the west (south of Crosscreek red dot on right).
1741 Rocky River joins the Yadkin River
from the west (left third of map).

1741 Jasper King was granted 400 acres in Bladen County on the S.W. side of Pee Dee river opposite to Rockey Creek, joining the sd. river and John Westfield (see 1749-1750). Dated May 22. [7] [8]

1741 Phillip Henson was granted 640 acres (one square mile) in Bladen County on the north-east side of Pee Dee River joining John Hix and the river. Dated May 22. [9] [10] [11] Phillip Hinson, planter of Anson County, North Carolina, sold 590 acres in Bladen County, North Carolina on the Northeast side of the PeeDee River, beginning at a hickory on the lower corner of John Hix's land, then east 110 chains to a pine; south 80 chains to another pine; west 50 chains to a red oak; then along the river to first station; part of the 640 acres granted on May 22, 1741 to said Hinson. Sold to Claudius Pegues, planter of Craven County. [12] Other land records suggest that this land was on the Pee Dee River, at the mouth of Rocky River. The remaining 50 acres was sold to Benjamin Dumas in 1749, but records after 1749 suggest that Philip Hinson might still own land at this location. "Downstream from the Lake Tillery, the waters of the Pee Dee flow south, with Rocky River joining on its western shore. This important spot was once considered the official beginning of the Pee Dee, and the portion of the river upstream was the Yadkin. Colson's Ferry, located across the Pee Dee River at the mouth of the Rocky River, was an important crossing of the Pee Dee during the Revolutionary War." [13]

1748 John Hicks of Anson County, planter, sold to Henry Somerlin of Johnson, planter, … 200 A on NE side of Great Pee Dee … Philip Hensons line … plantation where John Goodin formerly dwelt … granted to John Hicks, 1743. Wit: Edmund Irby, Wm. Forbes. Dated February 27. [15] [16]

1748 A deed recorded "John Clark of Anson County, to Benjamin Dumas of Louisa County, Virginia for £100 Proc. money … 500 acres on N side of Great Pee Dee … corner of Solomon Hews … corner of Phillip Hensons … granted 4 Oct 1748 … including an island … John Clark (seal), Witnesses: Joseph White, Samuel French, John Coleman, David Provender." Dated October 29. [17] [18] A discussion of this deed is quoted here [19]:

I have puzzled about the relationship of land speculator John Clark of Bladen Co., NC and "our" Clark family of VA. John Clark first acquired land near Buffalo Island on the Great Pee Dee on 2 FEB 1743/44. Over the next 12 years, John Clark would receive 41 separate land warrants in Bladen and Anson Co. NC. He would sell his Buffalo Island property to Benjamin Dumas Sr. of Hanover Co., VA in 1748, near the beginning of a sizable Quaker migration from Hanover and Louisa Cos., VA to the border areas of North and South Carolina. (No border in those days!) Most of Francis and Cordelia Clark's children were part of this migration as was the extended family of Andrew Moorman Sr., youngest son of Thomas and Elizabeth Simpson Moorman.

1749 Phillip Hinson, planter of Anson County, North Carolina, sold to Benjamin Deumer [Dumas], of Louisa County, Virginia, 50 acres on the north side of the Great PeeDee River, part of a 600 a tract granted to sd. Hinson, for 20 pounds of proc. money (the southeast part of said tract). Witnessed by John Dennen, William, Bedingfield, and Henry Bedingfield. Dated December 20. [20] [21] [22] [23] A quit rent record indicates that on December 20, Phillip Hinson sold 50 acres to Benjamin Dumas. The original grant to Phillip Hinson was 600 acres. [24]

1749 Philip Hinson purchased land from Benjamin Deumer on the Pee Dee River. [index reports Deed 1-4, however pages 1-122 are missing from Book 1 at FamilySearch] [25]

1749 John Hornback sold land to Charles Moorman and Benjamin Moorman, all of Anson County, North Carolina. The tract was on the S[outh] side of the Great Pee Dee … mouth of Walkers gut … Rockey River … Dated December 4. [26] Charles Mooreman has been named by several researchers as the grandfather of Mourning Mooreman, spouse of Benjamin Hinson (son of Philip Hinson), so this deed might provide a link to Benjamin, whom we show as a son of this Philip.

1749-1750 Jasper King sold to John Williams, 400 acres in Anson (formerly Bladen) County, North carolina on SW side Pee Dee, Rockey Creek, on March 25, 1749. Land in Anson County, North Carolina originally sold to John Williams by Jasper King was described as opposite that of Phillip Henson. Dated October 23, 1750. [27] [28] [29]

1751 Land belonging to John Clark in Bladen County, North Carolina on the N side of the Great Pee Dee River, was described as near that of Philip Henson. [30] [31] [32] [33]

1756 Philip Henson witnessed a deed: James Coward of Anson County, North Carolina to Archibald Graham of same, (lease s5, release L50) … 108 A, part of 3312 A on N side Pee Dee River, granted 27 Sept 1756 … James Coward (seal), Wit: Ambrose Stille, Elisha Parker (P), Philip Henson. [34] [35]

1757 Philip Henson of Anson County, Province of North Carolina, and Jacob Lipham were witnesses to a deed of land sale on head of Beaver and Naked Creek in Craven County, South Carolina. [Note: There is a Beaverdam Creek and Naked Creek in present-day Marlborough Co. about eight miles East of Philip’s plantation on the Pee Dee River] [36]

1758 Benjamin Dumas 140 Acres, On the NE of Pee Dee River, joins Philip Hensons. Dated July 1. [37]

1762 Thomas Underwood was granted 300 acres in Anson County on the S.W. side of P. D. River, joining Bambers line, Townsend Robinson, Philip Hendon [perhaps Henson], Thomas Jones, and Beanbers line. Dated April 24. [38]

1763 Philip Henson (both Jr. and Sr.) were taxed in Anson County, North Carolina. Bartlett, Banjamin, and Isum [perhaps sons of Philip and Mary] were also taxed. [39] [40] [41] [42] [43]

1764 Phillip Hinson, planter of Anson County, North Carolina, sold 590 acres in Bladen County, North Carolina on the Northeast side of the Pee Dee River, beginning at a hickory on the lower corner of John Hix's land, then east 110 chains to a pine; south 80 chains to another pine; west 50 chains to a red oak; then along the river to first station; part of the 640 acres granted 22 May 1741 to said Hinson. Sold to Claudius Pegues, planter of Craven County, for 862.10.0 pounds of South Carolina currency. [44](See 1741 and 1767 entries)

1764-65 The land deeds during this period suggest that Philip Hinson moved from a plantation on the Pee Dee River to one on the Wateree River.

1765 Phillip Henson purchased land from Joseph Cate, both of Craven County, South Carolina. The tract of 400 acres 250 acres (perhaps two parts on the two sides of the river?) was on the south side and north side of the Wateree River by land of Thos Hall. The deed was dated March 22 and was witnessed by Micaijah Pickett, Isaac Arledge, and Thomas Jones. [45]

1765 Phillip Henson purchased land from William Kirkland, both of Craven County, South Carolina. The tract of 250 acres was on the Wateree River. The land had been purchased by William Kirkland from Joseph Cate, but the deed had been misplaced. The deed was dated April 25 and was witnessed by Mary Moore, Christian McKain, and Bartlett Henson. [46] Note that a survey, dated September 28, 1766, shows land in Craven County, South Carolina granted to Ambrose Mills bounding on Wateree River, Patrick McCommicks, Frances Laton, Pickett, and Richard Kirkland. [47]

1767 Phillip Henson received a quit claim from William Kirkland of Craven County, South Carolina on April 25. Philip Hanson paid 10 shillings to William Kirkland. William Kirkland had purchased the land from Joseph Cate in 1755. Witnessed by Bartlett Hanson, Christain McKaime and Mary Moor. Sworn to John Gaston, justice of peace, on July 14, 1768. [48]

1767 The estate of Claudius Pegues was settled and the land of Philip Henson was described as being in Bladen County, North Carolina, which became Anson County, North Carolina, and then became Craven County, South Carolina. Dated February 11. [49](See 1741 and 1764 entries) [Map] North-South Carolina boundaries [50].

1767 "Craven Co., SC, on NE side Pee Dee River: beginning at a red oak on river bank at Hinson's lower corner, running S 50° E 160 poles down the river to a mulberry tree on the river bank; then E 40 poles to a pine; then N 160 poles to Hinson's lower line … whereas Benjamin Dumas died intestate & his oldest son David, inherited the 2 tracts of 50 a. & 140 a.; now he sells them to Pegues" Witnesses: Francis Smith, Benjamin Dumas. Dated March 14. [51]

c 1768 Daughter Kizannah Hinson married Micajah Pickett Jr. We have assumed this based on several clues:

Kizannah Pickett was named as a daughter in the 1777 will of Philip Hinson of St David's parish in the Cheraw District of South Carolina.

Micajah Pickett was married to Kizannah based on numerous documents regarding the estate of Micajah Pickett.

Micajah Pickett lived next to the plantation of Philip Hinson where Obadiah Hinson lived in 1790, which was surveyed for Philip in 1770 and platted for son Obediah Hinson in 1786. [52] [53]

1765 Phillip Henson purchased land from Joseph Cate on the south side and north side of the Wateree River by land of Thos Hall. The deed was dated March 22 and was witnessed by Micaijah Pickett, Isaac Arledge, and Thomas Jones. [54]

1766 A survey for Ambrose Mills listed Pucket as an adjacent landowner. [55] Philip Hinson was a nearby landowner.

1767 A deed dated October 26 may be relevant. (I have misplaced the citation)

1784 Charles Pickett, perhaps a relative of Micajah, purchased items at the estate sale of Philip Hinson. [56] [57] [58]

1786 Nathan Sanders bought 100 acres on Wateree Creek, granted to Ambrose Mills, sold to son William Mills, sold to Micajah Pickett (Dec 9-10 1784). Witnessed by Henry Sanders and William Tidwell. [59]

1810 Micajah Pickett purchased two tracts of land on Panther Creek from Ambrose Mills on November 22. [60]

Robert Wolfe has DNA matches with several descendants of Philip Hinson and wife Mary. Several of these descendants also match other descendants of Micajah Pickett and wife Kisanna.

1770 A survey of land between Wateree and Dutchmans Creeks, Craven County, South Carolina, made for Philip Hinson on January 22, 1770, was cited in a plat to Abediah Hinson [perhaps a son of Philip and Mary], dated February 6, 1786. Land of Micajah Puket was adjacent. [61] [62]

1770 Philip Hinson to Claudius Pegues. Lease and Release. [63]

1772 Philip Henson stated that the 640 acres of land granted to him in Bladen County, Province of North Carolina on 22 May 1741 was now in Craven County, Province of South Carolina [Note: This was perhaps due to the survey of 1764 that established a border running east-west running above present-day Lancaster, Chesterfield and Marlboro counties. Craven was one of the original five counties comprising the Province of South Carolina. Craven was the section roughly between the Santee and Pee Dee Rivers. We seek documentation for this event.]

1772 Philip Hinson memorial for 640 acres on Pee Dee River, Bladen County, North Carolina. Also named John Hines and Governor Johnson. Dated May 20. [64] [65]

1772 Benjamin Dumas memorial for 140 acres on Pee Dee River. Also named Philip Hinson and Arthur Dobb. Dated May 20. [66]

1774 Memorial for nine tracts in North Carolina for Thomas Wade named Philip Henson, William Boggan, John Clark, John Crawford, and others. [68]

c1776 Philip Henson was a soldier in the South Carolina 5th Regiment during the Revolutionary War. [69]

1777 Phillip Hinson, of Saint David's Parish, South Carolina, dated his will on January 21. It was recorded on November 20, 1785. [Photocopy, Philip Hinson will, page 1.] [Photocopy, Philip Hinson will, page 2.] [70] [71] [72] [73] [74] [75] [76] [77] The will named Mary (Wife), Benjamin (Son), Bartlett (Son), John (Son), Isham (Son), Obidiah (Son), Charles Hinson (Son), Rosanna Pickett (Daughter), William Hinson (Grandson), John Hinson (Executor), Benjamin Hinson (Executor). The will named enslaved persons Harry, Judith, Patience, Delila, Charity, and Jemmy. [78]

In the Name of God Amen. I, Phillip Hinson of Saint Davids Parish in the Province of South Carolina being of perfect Sense and Memory thanks be unto almightly God for the same but calling to mind the certainty of death and uncertainty of this transitory Life and knowing it is appointed for all once to die do make and Ordain this my last Will and Testament in manner and form following that is to say, Principally and first of all I recommend my Soul into the Hands of Almighty God that gave it trusting thro' the merits of my blessed redeemer - to meet with a joyful resurrection and as to my body I recommend to the Earth to be decently Buried at the discretion of my Executors herein after named. and as touching such worldly Estate wherewith it hath pleased Almighty God to bless me with this Life I give, devise and Bequeathe in manner and form following - Imprimis I Give and Bequeathe unto my Beloved Wife Mary my Manor Plantation two Negroes Viz.

Sign'd, Sealed, Publish'd and declared by the Testator to be his last Will and Testament In presence of us Thomas Dickson, Stephen Tomkins, Francis Tomkins. Phillip (his mark) Hinson (Seal).

The spelling of the daughter named in Philip's will, married to Pickett, is ambiguous: [Photocopy, Name of daughter in the will (not the original) of Phillip Hinson.]. Other documents in the same handwriting naming James Kelley [79] and the words River and Robert in the will of William McCorkle [80], suggest that the first letter of the name in the will is "R", not "K". Her name was also reported as Rosanna in a typed transcription [Photocopy, page 1, Philip Hinson will typed transcription.] [Photocopy, page 2, Philip Hinson will typed transcription.], and as Kenianna [81]

1778 Philip Hinson on petit jurors list as living between Broad and Catawba Rivers. [Note: In 1778 this area would have been Camden District, Province of South Carolina, which was later divided into York, Chester, Lancaster, Fairfield, Richland, Claremont, and Clarendon counties. Camden had Cheraws and Georgetown districts to its east, Ninety-Six and Orangeburg districts to its west and Charleston District to its south. [82]

1779 John Henson, perhaps a son, and Benjamin Dumas (see 1758 deed), among many others, signed a petition to divide Anson county into two parts at the Pee Dee River [to form Montgomery County]. [83] [84]

1784 Philip Hinson Senior, of Camden District, South Carolina, gave to his grand daughter Mary Hinson, daughter of Bartlet Hinson of said district and State, for love, good will and affection, one Negro girl named Sarah "now being in my possession." Dated September 23, 1784. Wits: John Yarbrough and Henry Sanders. Proved by Henry Sanders October 11, 1784 before John Winn, Esq., J.P. Recorded September 17, 1792. [85] [86]

1784 "Memorandum of the Goods & Chattels of the Estate of Philip Hinson, Dec'd 1 Negro fellow. 1 Negro Wench. Total evaluation, £178.10.6" Dated December 18. [90]

1784 "Account Sales of the Estate of Philip Hinson, Dec'd … Purchasers: John Hinson, Obadiah Hinson, Bartlett Hinson, Thomas Gavin, James Hollis, Isaac Gibson, Abraham Gibson, Charles Graham, Nathan Sanders, Henry Sanders, Charles Picket, John Lewis. Total receipts, £248.2.3" Dated December 20. [91]

1785 A claim was filed in South Carolina for the Revolutionary Service of Philip Hinson. Philip’s claim was part of Return No. 55 that was sent from the S.C. Auditor General to the Legislative Council on 23 May 1785. Four or five other Hensons filed claims for Revolutionary War service. Two claims were sent out under Obediah Henson and were included in Return No. 3 sent out 10 Dec. 1783, and No. 55 sent out 11 Oct. 1784. William and Jesse Hinson's claims were included in Return No. 93 sent out 31 Dec. 1785. Archibald Henson's claim was included with Return No. 40 sent out 7 Apr. 1785. [92] [93]

1786 Nathan Sanders bought 100 acres on Wateree Creek, granted to Ambrose Mills, sold to son William Mills, sold to Micajah Pickett (Dec 9-10 1784). Witnessed by Henry Sanders and William Tidwell. [94]

1787 Aaron Roberts sold land to Mary Henson, both of Camden District, for 10 shillings. The tract of 150 acres, on Taylors Creek branch of the Wateree River, was granted on June 5, 1786. Witnessed and proved by Isaac Gibson and Henry Sanders. Dated August 13. Mary was perhaps living on the land when it was to be transferred. The land had been inherited by Aron Roberts and was being transferred to Mary, perhaps. This occurred soon after Philip Hinson died, so perhaps the land was transferred to Mary, widow of Philip, or perhaps to Mary, daughter of Bartlett. [95] [96]

1790 Obadiah Henson, Bartlett Hinson, Robert Hinson, John King, John Watts, Micajah Pickett, Charles Pickett, Nathan Sanders, Charles Johnson, and James Hollis, all of whom were named or implied in the estate proceedings for Philip Hinson, were named on three successive census pages for Fairfield County, South Carolina, suggesting that they lived close to each other. [97] We would like help identifying their household locations more accurately.

1790 Mary Henson lived in Fairfield County, South Carolina. [98] [99]

1792 Mary Henson, of Fairfield County, sold land to John Henson [perhaps a son of Philip and Mary]. The tract was part of a 150 acre tract in Camden District on Taylors Creek that had been originally granted to Aron Roberts, who transferred it to Mary Henson. Mary sold 100 acres adjacent to lands of Henry Sanders and Isaac Grimes. The deed was dated December 8. [100]

Research Notes:

We are researching Philip Hinson and wife Mary who were the parents of Kizannah Hinson, wife of Micajah Pickett. We suspect that they lived in the border area between North and South Carolina and appear in North Carolina deed records as early as 1735 in the PeeDee/CapeFear/Wateree River basins, as summarized in their notes, above.

Documents for Philip Hinson of the Broad River basin, spouse of Mary Sanders [101], which are cited in our notes for them, suggest that he was a different man named Philip Hinson who lived in Mecklenburg/Tryon/Rutherford counties of North Carolina. Both men plausibly had sons named Bartlet. Both apparently had a spouse named Mary. We seek further evidence to distinguish and clarify the identities of these families.

1794 Mary Hinson was granted 100 acres of land on Henson's Creek, Rutherford County on July 9. She was assignee of Felix Walker and Mashack Hall. [102] [103]

c 1809 Mary Henson died in Greenville County, South Carolina. We seek evidence about her relationship to one of the Philip Hinson men in our notes. Philip Hinson, spouse of Mary Sanders was still alive at this time, so it is more likely that this Mary was the wife of this Philip, who died in 1785. Mary might have moved to Greenville to live with her daughter Kizannah Pickett.

1806 The verbal will of Mary Henson dec'd was returned to the office in Greenville County, South Carolina. [104]

1777 Philip Henson enlisted in the 5th Regiment on August 18. [105]

The relationship of Philip Hinson Jr to this family, if any, is unknown. See the tax listing, above, of 1763.

The inventory of the estate of Philip Henson Jr (perhaps a son) was recorded. Two dates have been reported:

1760 In January, the inventory of the estate of Phillip Henson Jr was made by Penelope Henson. [106]

1763-64 Philip Henson, junior, deceased. Inventory of estate January 1764, Anson County, Province of North Carolina submitted by Penelope Henson.

1809 The executors of the estate of Mary Henson deceased made a yearly return of the receipts & expenditure of said estate up to the 20th February 1809. [107] [108]

Maps and geography:

The Pee Dee River, Wateree River, and Broad River all have sources in North Carolina, which flow into South Carolina. Counties of North Carolina along the border with South Carolina were formed successively from East to West.
Formation of Craven, Bladen, Anson, Mecklenburg, Tryon, Rutherford counties, North Carolina [109]:

1712 Craven County, North Carolina was formed along the southern border with South Carolina.
1712 New Hanover County was formed from the southern part of Craven County, along the border with South Carolina.
1734 Bladen County, North Carolina was formed from the western part of New Hanover County.
1750 Anson county, including the main sources of the Pee Dee River, was formed from the western part of Bladen.
1762 Mecklenburg county, including the sources of the Broad River, was formed from the western part of Anson, leaving sources of the Pee Dee River basin in Anson County.
1768 Tryon county, including the Green River and other sources of the Broad River, was formed from the western part of Mecklenburg. Sources of the Wateree River formed the boundary between Tryon and Mecklenburg counties. The sources of the Pee Dee River remained in Anson and Bladen Counties.
1779 Rutherford and Lincoln counties were formed from the western and eastern parts of Tryon county, which was dissolved.
1783 The western part of Rutherford county was made into Indian land.
1791 Buncombe county was formed from the western part of Rutherford county,

1775 A map showed the counties and rivers near the border of North and South Carolina. [110]

Current watershed boundaries of North and South Carolina [111]:

North Carolina [Map, North Carolina river watersheds.]
South Carolina [Map, South Carolina river basins (Freshwater Fishes by Rohde Arndt Foltz Quattro).]

Craven County was one of the original three counties of South Carolina. It is shown at the mouth of the Santee River on a map dated 1682. [112] [113] Craven County is shown upstream from the confluence of the Wateree and Congaree (Broad) Rivers to form the Santee River on a map dated 1780. [114]

South Carolina areas were often described by parish boundaries. [115]

St Marks parish, South Carolina, was on the Santee River, downstream from the confluences with the Broad and Wateree Rivers. [116] [117] [118]

St David's parish and Cheraw District, South Carolina are on the western side of the PeeDee River near the North Carolina border. [119] Philip Hinson wrote his 1777 will in this Pee Dee River area.

There are other records for men named Philip Hinson that are perhaps for a different (neither of the above) Philip Hinson. We seek clarification about which Philip Hinson these records refer to.

1635 Immigration: sailed in April from London, England to Barbadoes. Philip Hinson was named as being transported by William Chapline during the colonization of Maryland. Chapline died 1669. [130] [131]

1798 John, son of Philip Hinson, was born on June 3 and was baptized on August 1 at St. Peter's parish, New Kent, Virginia. [132]

180? Elizabeth, daughter of Philip Henson, was baptized on December 25 at St. Peter's parish, New Kent, Virginia. [133]

1877 "The scalping of Mrs. Henson - Last week we stated that an Indian axe had been brought into our office which had been found near the place where Mrs. Henson was scalped in olden times. This statement has called forth many inquiries and for the information of all we will state: Mrs. Henson, wife of Philip Henson, was killed by Indians near the Warrior Ford on Upper Creek, and the axe spoken of was plowed up by Mr. Bartlett Sisk, while subsoiling. Not only this axe, but arrows have from time to time been plowed up at the same place. Mrs. Henson was at the spring washing thread, so the tradition goes, when the Indians came upon her. Mr. Henson was in the field at work at the time and, hearing the screams of his wife, ran to her assistance, but found her scalped when he reached her. He, with some of the neighbors, pursued the Indians some distance into the mountains, capturing and killing one or two of the redskins Burke Blade" [147].

To Do: See "The Old Hinson Story", Olde Mecklenburg Quarterly, Vol. 7, No. 2, 1989.

The family of Daniel Henson, reportedly born in 1705 in Elland, Yorkshire, England and died after 1750 in Amelia County, Virginia, shares several names with this Hinson family (Bartlett, Philip, William) We seek documentation about this family.
