John Bittick and Lydia Willis of Stokes Co, NC
John Bittick md Lydia Willis on 26 Sep 1799 in Stokes Co, NC. Caleb Story was the bondsman.
John and Lydia are listed on the 1800 Stokes Co, NC census -John is 26-44 yrs of age, c1756-74 and
Lydia is 16-26 yrs of age, c1775-84.
In 1802 John purchased land in Stokes Co, NC. What happened to this land?
I can't locate anything on John and Lydia after 1802. I think they may have moved west to TN - IL - MO - AR but I can't confirm this.
Lydia Willis is probably the dau of Jarvis Willis. James Willis and Henry Willis both show up on the 1800 census and are likely brothers to Lydia.
In 1820, Jarvis Willis is in Franklin Co, TN. Did John and Lydia also move to Franklin Co, TN? In 1850 Jarvis is in Lawrence Co, AL, age 100!
This is not the John who shows up in Burke Co, NC. And, he is not a descendant of John Bittick/Biddix who md Hannah Blount/Blunt. So, who is he?
All of you Bittick researchers - please check and see if you have anything on a Bittick family from Stokes Co, NC.
