Arena Adcock (she was called Reny) was the daughter of George Adcock and Elizabeth Meadows Adcock of Granville Co., NC.Elizabeth's mother's brother, Jesse Meadows, was also married to an Adcock.We believe Elizabeth's father to be Elijah Meadows.George died young.Elizabeth was a widow for a long time.George's parents were Edward Connoway Adcock and Tabitha White Adcock.Edward died prior to 1800.His will(estate) wasn't settled until the 1840's when Tabitha died.The children are named at that time, and George was dead by that time.Only two children of George are listed in the will of Edward, but there may have been more. Arena's brother was Littleton Adcock who married Lucretia Kimball and they had many children most who remained in Granville Co.One descendant (currently retired) was Supt. of schools in Granville Co. for a long time and he is the great grandson of Littleton.I have seen a photo of Arena Adcock and William Tippett's five daughters (from a descendant who lives in Charlotte, NC).Edward Adcock's father was "old John" Adcock who came to Granville Co. in 1748 from VA. He descended from Henry,who was the son of Edward Adcock and ElizabethSmith of Essex Co., VA.Edward of Essex was the son of "John of York," who was in York, VA in the 1640's.
