Bartlett Creed is the son of Matthew Creed.(Sr) of Surry Co NC.Yes, there were lots of Bennetts and Matthews. Matthew Creed and his two brothers moved from Orange Co VA (now Greene Co) to Surry Co NC probably during the Revolutionary War period.The Phillips records do seem to indicate that Bartlett Creed had a son named Bennett.Bartlett and most of his family moved to KY, but it seems that his son Bennett stayed in Surry Co.As yet the estate records for Bartlett have not been found, but a recent clue indicates that he may have moved to IN from KY before he died.
I have the following census records for Bartlett:
1790 Surry Co NC
1m 16+
1m 0-16
2f
1800 Surry Co NC
1m 10-16
1m 45+
3f 0-10
1f 10-16
1f 45+
1810
1m 0-10
1m 45+
2f 0-10
3f 10-16
2f 16-26
1820 (p758 Zachary's Dist)
1m 45+
Since we don't have too much else to go on, an analysis of these records seem to indicate that Sarah (Phillips) Creed died before 1810.Bennett, the son of Bartlett, would be the younger son of the two indicated by the census (b c1800-1810) and the later census records which seem to be him indicate that he was born around 1801.It is possible that with is mother dying when he was maybe six or seven, that he was raised by relatives.This may explain why he did not move with his father and other family members to KY.
The other son is a mystery.It seems as though he was born 1787-1790 and is present in the 1790 and 1800 census records.He is not listed in the 1810 census.At this time he would have probably been over 21.
The census records seem to indicate that Bartlett may have had as many as seven daughters.One of them seems to be Nancy Creed who m David Gordon 30 May 1814 Surry Co NC.Another daughter seems to be Tabitha (Telitha??) who m Peter Kimberlin 13 Jul 1820 henry Co KY.
Bennett Creed m Margaret Joiner dau of David Joiner and Catherine Coe.(will of David Joiner)
from the 1850 Surry Co NC census I have these children for Bennett Creed
Sarah b c1832
David b c1835
Mary E b c1838
Nancy P b c1841
Margaret M b c1843
JOhn T b c1846
Bennett S b c1850
This family may have moved to Yadkin Co NC
