Brittain, James, Jr. was in Burke Co, NC before 1778.Use of Shirley Brittain Cawyer's book should be used with caution after her William Brittain.She has done a fine job up to that point but then records are very difficult to decipher.I have correspondeed with her a few times over the years and sent her confirmation a few years ago (after the publication of her book) that James Brittain, Jr. was indeed in Burke CountyI am a descendant of Marcus de Layfayette Brittain, b. 1778, m. Barbara Mull.Some have him as a son of James Brittain, Jr. but I have not been able to prove it yet.I will cite one reference that leads me to believe that is the correct course for me to follow up on:
From Burke Co, NC Land Records, 1779-1780 & Important Misc. Records, 1777-1800, Vol II (didn't make a note who the author of this was);##260, p. 87, John Hardon, 200 acres George Killeon (Killian?) line on east side of Hunting Creek, including a Cabbiin (sic) and improvement made by JAMES BRITTAIN joining Hardons line for complement.Entered 20 Feb. 1778.Warrant Ordered.
Hunting Creek flows north into the Catawba River in Burke County.I have lived in NC all my life.I grew up in Burke County but left around 1961.My dad said the Brittains owned all of Yellow Mountain at one time (Hunting Creek area).Trying to find maps of Burke is difficult and records are scarce for that county.Remember to follow the county formations and check all the counties.I have just become interested in genealogy again after a big move and being away from it for 4 or 5 years.That is the only record I have handy right now.I am just beginning to try to better organize my notes.
How do you know Nancy Brittain was the dtr of James Brittain, Jr. and from which wife?I understand he had two wives.
