Deed
for 20 acres - dated 1813 - from William Lewis___ “In consideration of the
natural love
and
affection which I, William Lewis, have and do bare to my said, son Urbain
Lewis—
a
certain tract or parcel of land situated, lying and being in the County of Wayne
and part
in
Duplin County”—Joins Mason Sunbies, Brooks Swamp, his own land, and on
Sleepy
Creek
- Signature witnessed by Ezekial Slocumb and Ulle Lewis, and proved before
the
May Court 1813.
______________________________________________________________________________
This
is to certify that I, L. Polk Denmark, personally remember the many visits to
our home
by
my grandmother Patience Lewis Denmark, that all my life I have know that her
sister
Bethania
Lewis married Henderson Martin of Mount Olive, North Carolina, and that when
my
father, James William Denmark returned from the Civil War in 1855, at the age of
18, he
left the farm near Dudley, North Carolina, and lived for a year with “Uncle
Henderson and
Aunt Theny Martin,” so he could attend the school there with the Martin
children.
In
the January 1911, issue of the Wake Forest Student (Benefactor’ Number,) page
373, in
his autobiography he tells about this move toward gaining his education.
I
furthermore certify that I personally abstracted the records of Wayne County
Will Book R.
9
- Page 460, and Deed Book 10, Page 44, from the records in the State Department
of
Archives and History, Raleigh, North Carolina.
L.
Polk Denmark
