Indian Troubles in NC #northcarolinapioneerscom #ncgenealogy

Indian Troubles

Meherrin RiverDuring 1679 Lewis Williams owned a plantation on the Meherrin River at Lawnes Creek Parish. In 1707 the estate of Lewis Williams involving the home had Indian problems which made it impossible for his family to inhabit the plantation. Three years later, boundary disputes were mentioned concerning the plantation of his son, William Williams. A 1701 deed in Isle of Wight County, Virginia shows that 500 acres of land was sold to Lewis Williams on the Chowanoke River, it being part of a patent granted by William Berkeley to Thomas Woodward Sr. and Thomas Woodward Jr. The date of the patent was September 23, 1663.
