Craven County, NC - Charles Stewart v. Thomas H. Davis, 1819 - Addendum

                            ~~~~~~~~~~

The defendant is Thomas H. Daves (Thomas Haynes Daves) who was the Sheriff 
of Craven Co., NC. He is one of my Haynes ancestors. He was the son of Mary 
Haynes & her 3rd husband John Daves. His brother was John Pugh Daves whose 
daughter, Mary McKinlay Daves, married 2nd Governor Ellis. His sister had 
been Sally Eaton Daves Jones, whose daughter Mary McKinlay Pugh Daves had 
been adopted by Eaton Pugh, half brother of the same Mary Haynes. (Mary was 
the daughter of Andrew Haynes & Anne Eaton; while Eaton Pugh was the son of 
Anne Eaton Haynes & 2nd husband John Pugh)

There are many record abstracts about that have transcribed Davis rather 
than Daves - including the NC Wills, where the will of Eaton Pugh 
incorrectly shows bequests to John P. Davis and Thomas H. Davis.

The same spelling applies to the following record:

State-Wide, NC - Act to Collect Tax Arrears, 1817

to collect the arrears of taxes due him for the years eighteen hundred
