(Continued fromrPagg One).
Now, who knows what became of
the rest of the Brantlys? Governor
Aycock’s middle name was Brantly.
Wonder if he is. derived: from, the
Brantly family on one side of the.
house? Who ever heard of the
Warden family ? Is there any, place.
in Pittshoro that. can. he located, as
he home of the gentleman who did
much to give to the first half
**
. , the nineteenth cen.ury one of its
,;reat scholars, ministers, and
oeachers ? The court house records
will probably show the location of
the Brantly lands, if they owned,
any,, also the location;of the Ward*-
en hemie.
Since writing the above, we have
looked up> the Brantly family in
the census reports of 1790, and find
that tire name was- numerous, and
the families with only one excep
tion possessing slaves. If Wm. T.
Brantley’s father was as- poor as
the sketch by his son, reprinted
in Purefoy’s history, indicates, he
would be the son of Wm. Brantley,
as one Wm. Brantley is listed as
having cne son in 1790 and he un
der 16 years of age. Wm. T.
born in 1787, would have been there
n 1790.
Since writing the foregoing, we
have looked up the Brantlys in the
Census report for 1790 and find
chat there were six Brantley famil
lies at that time, two whose heads
were named William, two Johns,
one Mary, and Joseph. All owned
slaves except one of the Williams.
One of the Johns had three boys
and five slaves; Joseph had four
boys and 12 slaves; one of the
Williams had one boy and no slave;
the other John had two boys and
eight slaves; Mary had one boy
ar.d ten slaves; the other William
had three boys and ten slaves.
The first named William was
probably the father of Wm. T., for
l his family was as poor as the
sketch written by Dr. Wm. T.
Brantly’s own son indicated, he
would hardly have been a slave
holder. And it was the slave hold
er, we believe, who was the preach
er, since Purefoy lists him as “of
D. R.”, probably signifying that
the preacher lived on Deep River,
which would have put him tod far
away for the boy Wm. T., if his
son, to be so well known at Piits
bc rough. There is no Blake Brantly
mentioned in the census, and he
was probably one of the boys men-
tioned in the several groups.
The Brantly family, with five
out of six families owning a goodly
number of slaves, was evidently not
among the “poor white trash”
crowd, even if Wm. T.’s father was
too poor to educate his son.'
The census doesn’t show any Wm.
Warden in Chatham in 1790, but
there was such a man in Stokes.He
may have moved to Pittsboro, but
it is more probable the benefactor
of young Brantly had more recently
come from Scotland.
If curiosity killed a cat, how in
curious most cats are.
