Birth*

John may have been born at England in __/__/1730. Assuming John and his wife were 20 when they were married and their first child was born in 1753, they most likely were born in 1733 or earlier..³

He was the son of James Braxton 1st and Wife of James Braxton 1st.

Marriage*

He married Mary Braxton c __/__/1753. John sold land to his son James on April 21, 1775 who must have been at least 21 years old, which leads us to the conclusion that John and Mary were probably married in 1754 or earlier.

.³

Death*

John died c __/__/1799.¹

Psgr List*

A John Blackstone was listed on a passenger list for the “Tryal” that left London, England either December 1749 or January 1750 and arrived at York River, York County, Virginia, in 03/__/1750. This is one possibility regarding John's linage. Another, is he was the son of James Blackston a relationship not yet proven. If we assume John did arrive from England in 1750, like many early settlers, he was guilty of some kind of petty crime and in lieu of time in prison, John was sentenced to servitude in America. Serious crimes such as murder, rape, treason, etc. were not commuted to transportation. The usual time of transportation was 7 years unless otherwise noted and those transported could not get married until their servitude was completed. Therefore, this John may not have married until 1757, so his eldest child would not have been 21 until 1778. I know from old English Sailing Records and Manifests that another John Blackston departed from London, after being sentenced in Middlesex, England, in either December 1749 or January 1750, arrived in America in March 1750. Unfortunately, the port of destination was not recorded. However, from a review of other records it appears the port of arrival was either Maryland or York River, Virginia. Most likely, it was York River. Today the town of York River is known as Yorktown and is located at the mouth of the York River near Williamsburg, Virginia. The following is a summary of his passage information as recorded in "The King's Passengers to Maryland and Virginia, 1718-1776," by Peter Wilson Coldham:
          Ship: “Tryal”
          Name: Blackstone, John
          Port of Origin: Middlesex, London
          Port of Arrival: Maryland or Virginia
          Dated Departed: December 1749 or January 1750
          Date Arrived: March 1750
          Reasons for Transportation: Convict, sentenced to transport.

     Another John Blackstone also sailed on the “Honor” from London, England setting sail on May 1720 and arriving January 1721 in York River (Yorktown). Arrival was confirmed. He was a convict sentenced to transport. It appears that this John was too old to have been the John Blackstone who settled in Pitt County, North Carolina around 1769. Yet another John Blackstone sailed on the “Tryal” from London, England setting sail on April 1750 and arriving June 1750 in Maryland. Arrival was confirmed. He was a convict sentenced to transport. From a review of census and deed records, it appears that this John remained in Maryland. At this point in time, it is impossible to determine whether any of these John Blackstons were in fact the John Blackston that settled in Pitt County, North Carolina around 1769.

     The practice of transporting convicts, who would otherwise have been executed, dates back to at least 1597. By 1660, transportation was an accepted form of punishment following a royal pardon. An Act of 1718 established transportation to English colonies in America as the standard sentence for many less serious offences. One of the most common crimes for which people were transported was theft. Transportation to America ceased in 1775. Transportation was for a period of years, usually seven or fourteen years and occasionally even life. After conviction, felons remained in prison until their transportation. Convicts to be transported were handed over to agents who could dispose of their services to local landowners. Shipmasters certified receipt of the convicts and obtained landing certificates on arrival in America from the governor or chief customs house officer. These landing certificates were returned to the courts as evidence that the sentence had been carried out. By 1718, most convicts were taken to Maryland or Virginia and this continued until 1775. The cost of transportation was borne by the state. Contractors were appointed to provide ships and transportees' services were sold on arrival. The contractor gave a bond to guarantee that transportation would take place and that the convict would not return until the end of his or her sentence.

Deed*

John bought property at Horse Pen Branch, Pitt County, North Carolina, on 03/20/1775.⁹

Deed*

John received a 200 acres Land Grant from the State of North Carolina at Swift Creek, Pitt County, North Carolina, on 05/04/1778. As recorded in this Land Grant, a survey was completed on September 21, 1778, and the land was described as 200 acres being on the "South Side of the West Prong of Swifts Creek" beginning at the corner of James Braxton's property and adjacent to Samuel Cannon's land. The Grant was witnessed by Tho. Braxton and Paul Scale. The Land Grant is recorded at the Pitt County Courthouse in Greenville, North Carolina in Deed Book No. 29, page 253 as Grant Number 3 issued on July 1, 1779. Again, since family members often witnessed the deeds for relatives, Tho and John were most likely closely related.

.¹⁰

Deed*

John bought property at Pitt County, North Carolina, on 10/21/1782. As recorded in this Land Grant, John Braxton paid 50 Shillings for this 250 acres tract of land described as being "...on the South side of The Tarr River and West Prong of Swifts Creek...to a gum in the reedy branch..." The Grant was witnessed by James Braxton and James Braxton Jr. The land was adjoining John Simpson and William Joiner's land. The Land Grant is recorded at the Pitt County Courthouse in Greenville, North Carolina in Deed Book G, page 183. James may have been John's father and the grandfather of James Braxton Jr.

.¹¹

Deed*

John sold property at Swift Creek, Pitt County, North Carolina, on 04/17/1787. James Handcock paid him 50 pounds for this tract of land. It was described as containing 100 acres, more or less, and being on the "West Side of the West Prong of Swift Creek" and being a part of a 200 acres land grant John received on May 5, 1778. Dennis Cannon and Solomon Sutton were witnesses to this deed. This deed is recorded at the Pitt County Courthouse in Greenville, North Carolina in Deed Book M, Page 18-19.

.¹²

Census 1790*

John was listed as the head of a family on the 1790 Federal Population Census at Pitt County, North Carolina. John's last name was spelled Blackston. The following entry was made of his household: Free White Males 16 years of age or older, 4; Free White Males less 16 years of age, 0; Free White Females, 3; all other persons, 0; Slaves, 0. From this record we know that he most likely had at least three sons 16 years of age or older and two daughters. From deed records we know that he had at least one other son, James, who was born ca 1750 and who now had his own home. His entry is recorded on page 458 of the 1790 Pitt County North Carolina Federal Population Census.

A detail review of the 1790 census shows that Thomas Blackston lived beside of John and on the other side of Thomas lived James Blackston. Most likely, the three of them were related. Their entries in the Census follow:

Thomas Blackston Junior: Free White Males 16 years of age or older, 1; Free White Males less 16 years of age, 5; Free White Females, 4; all other persons, 0; Slaves, 0.

James Blackston Junior, perhaps the son of John Braxton: Free White Males 16 years of age or older, 2; Free White Males less 16 years of age, 5; Free White Females, 4; all other persons, 0; Slaves, 0.

On the same page of the census there are two other Braxton families recorded some twenty-four households away and their entries follow.

Thomas Braxton: Free White Males 16 years of age or older, 1; Free White Males less 16 years of age, 1; Free White Females, 4; all other persons, 0; Slaves, 0.

William Braxton, perhaps the son of John Braxton: Free White Males 16 years of age or older, 1; Free White Males less 16 years of age, 1; Free White Females, 7; all other persons, 0; Slaves, 0.

Deed*

John and his son James Braxton sold property at Pitt County, North Carolina, on 03/08/1793. James Ringgold paid John and James Braxton 75 pounds for this tract of land. It was described as containing 50 acres, more or less, and being on the "Horse Pin Branch". This would appear to be part of John Braxton's 1773 land grant for 180 acres. This deed was witnessed by John Fulford and Hardee Handcock. This deed is recorded at the Pitt County Courthouse in Greenville, North Carolina in Deed Book M, Page 691.

.¹³

Deed*

John sold property at Swift Creek, Pitt County, North Carolina, on 12/20/1795. Caleb Tripp Senior paid John and his wife Mary Braxton 45 pounds 10 Shillings for these 100 acres located on a branch of the West Prong of Swift Creek and bounded by Reedy Branch and Gum Swamp. In this deed, Mary was identified as "Mary Braxton the wife of John Braxton Sen". This deed was witnessed by Shadrock Moore, John Fulford, and Wm. Whitfield. This deed is recorded at the Pitt County Courthouse in Greenville, North Carolina in Deed Book N, Page 456-457. This record offers further proof that John's wife was named Mary. Another interesting aspect of this deed is that Caleb Tripp Senior was the Grandfather of Cennetta Tripp who in 1877 married John's great grandson Warren Braxton.

.¹⁴

Deed*

John sold property at Swift Creek, Pitt County, North Carolina, on 07/25/1796. John Braxton sold 100 acres, more or less, for 50 pounds to Levi Braxton. In this deed, the land is described as lying on the "South Side of the West Prong of Swift Creek". This is part of a 200 acres land grant John Braxton received on May 4, 1778 and the land at that time was described as being "on South Side of the West Prong of Swift Creek". This deed was witnessed by Hardee Handcock and John Braxton. The deed is recorded at the Pitt County Courthouse in Greenville, North Carolina in Deed Book N, Page 360-361. It is believed that Levi Braxton was a son of John Braxton 1^st.

.¹⁵

Deed*

John sold property at Horse Pen Branch, Pitt County, North Carolina, on 09/07/1796. John Braxton sold 100 acres, more or less, for 50 pounds to William Braxton. In this deed, the land is described as lying on the "North Side of Horse Pen Branch" and being a part of a 180 acres land grant John Braxton received on May 24, 1773 and the land at that time was described as being on the "Horsepen Branch".

The land at that time was described as being "on South Side of the West Prong of Swift Creek". The deed is recorded at the Pitt County Courthouse in Greenville, North Carolina in Deed Book N, Page 359. It is believed that Jepse Braxton was a son of John Braxton 1^st.

.¹⁷

Bankruptcy*

He was listed on a deed as a insolvent.¹⁸

Deed*

John sold property at Swift Creek, Pitt County, North Carolina, on 11/01/1806. After John's death, this tract of land, containing 60 acres more or less, was sold to Charles Jenkins at public auction for 10 pounds. One unusual aspect of this transaction is Charles Jenkins was the person who had petitioned the court to sale John's land in order to repay a 24 pound 6 shillings loan Charles had made to John. The deed is recorded at the Pitt County Courthouse in Greenville, North Carolina Deed Book AA, Page 26-27. Deed was witnessed by Sampson and Samuel Powell.

.¹⁹

Biography*

In the 1790 Census, John's name is recorded as John Brackston Sr. In a review of deeds from the late 1700s and early 1800s, his name was most often spelled John Braxton. He may have come to America in 1750 from England. A John Blackston arrived in York River, Yorktown, Virginia from Middlesex, England in 1750. It might also be possible that John was the son of James Blackston an early landowner in Pitt County, which was formed from Beaufort County on January 1, 1761. In the following year, the earliest record of the Braxton Family appears in the List of Taxables, Pitt County, North Carolina. In 1762, a James Blackston is listed as a landowner. In the 1763 List of Taxables, Pitt County, a James Blaxton appears. Most likely, these two James were the same individual.

Biography*

John and his sister, Lovie Louvenia Braxton, married brothers and sisters; Jack McLawhorn and Sarah Marena McLawhorn. According to Harvey Everett, his wife Selma, daughter of John and Sarah, told him that in the early 1900s John owned the sawmill once owned by his father Christopher Columbus Braxton. It was set-up about 50 feet off what is now known as Jolly road near the second street intersection on the land where the Ayden Elementary school is located today. He utilized this sawmill to cut the lumber he used to build his family home know today as the "Old Home Place."

     This story demonstrates it was a small world back in the early 1900's in the Winterville and Ayden area. John Robert Pilgreen told his daughter, Edna, that during prohibition, he bought moonshine from John and Sarah Braxton who were the grand parents of her future husband, Heber Guy Braxton. When he went to their home, John and Sarah's youngest sons, Leon and Harvey, would dive down in the pile of hay in the barn until one of them found a pint of moonshine. Edna's father, John, would pay Sarah for it and then be on his way. It would appear that tobacco and cotton were not the only cash crops that John and Sarah had.

     During an October 27, 2001 interview with Kenny and Guy Braxton, Harvey Everett told a very similar story. He said John, his father-in-law, had a vine that grew up and pretty much covered the right end of his front porch. The drive coming up to his home was relatively straight and about a 1/4 mile long. He could sit behind the vine without being seen and watch for people coming down the drive to his house. He kept moonshine in the space above the front porch and he could slide a section back to get at the moonshine. When he saw someone coming down the drive, he would close this section of the ceiling. To quote Harvey, "John was a retailer." He did not own a still. As Harvey tells it, for many years, Joe McLawhorn was the Pitt County Sheriff. He often stopped by and had a drink with John. It was not unusual for him to spend half the day drinking and talking with John and typically, he bought a pint before he left. According to Harvey, like many of his contemporaries, John dipped snuff.

     John was a very successful farmer and entrepreneur. He owned approximately 160 acres of land that he and his family farmed. According to both Harvey Everett, John's son-in-law, and Heber Guy Braxton, John's grandson, during the 1920s John had a carbolic electrical system installed in the "Old Home Place." On more than one occasion, he lent money to others. In one such instance, he lent Jasper N Moore $500 for a year. From the pictorial record that exists, he and his wife had family portraits made every few years. He had life insurance and a Will when he died.
