Morgan, Bonnie Lee (I7541)

163

Born In Maryland in 1763, moved with his mother to Virginia when a young boy; From there he migrated south with his parents at the end of the revolution. He stopped in that portion of Rutherford County that is now Cleveland and hired himself to a farmer. His parents moved on to Alabama. He served three months as a private in Capt. Elias Langhorn's company in Col Lock's Regiment. He was a guard at Salsbury. He died in 1857 at his home in Cleveland County. He resided about one mile west of Fallston and owned some 1600 acres of land between Fallston and Beam's Mill.

From the notes of P. Cleveland Gardner:
The name Wellmon has been spelled several different ways, to-wit: Wilburn, Welburn, Wellons and Wellman. However the family settling in Lincoln and Cleveland Counties of this state have always spelled their name "Wellmon". The given name William has always been a fovorite name in the Wellmon family, and in every generation of the Wellmon family we find the name William.
WILLIAM WELLMON THE FIRST: Written records now in the possession of Catharine (Cary) Wellmon Williams, who resides on the Shelby-Morganton Road at Beams Mill, and who is the only living child of William Wellmon, the first, show that William Wellmon the first was born March 12th, 1763, and died September 5th, 1857. Family records says that he was born in the State of Maryland, and that his Mother's name was Katty Wellmon. While he was a young boy his mother married George Riley in Maryland and moved to Virginia, where they resided until young William Wellmon was probably 16 years old. The entire family then continued their march Southward, young Wellmon stopping and hiring to a farmer in Lincoln County, now Cleveland County, and his mother and step father going on to the State of Alabama. It is said that young Wellmon and his mother corresponded with each other for many years, or until the death of his mother.
WORKED AS HIRED HAND: It is said that William Wellmon the first on coming to North Carolina hired to a farmer who resided about one-half mile South of the present site of Waco (formally known as Ramsey's crossing). The name of the farmer is unknown. However, the exact location is pointed out at this date as being the farm later owned by Laws Botts, and later occupied by Morgan Poole.
FIRST MARRIAGE: How long this young Wellmon worked as a hired hand prior to his marriage is not known, nor is the date of his marriage known. It is very possible that immediately after his marriage with miss Moss that he either rented or purchased a farm upon which he settled and remained the remainder of his long life. This farm lies on the West side of the Shelby-Morganton Road, About one-half miles Southwest of the present site of Fallston, formally Rutherford County, now Cleveland County. It is said that he was a shrewd trader, also that he was a man of fine judgement, and was a hard worker. And by the use of these he accumulated considerable property and became one of the leading citizens of his time. He owned some 1600 acres of fine farm land, which includes the present site of the town of Fallston, and extending and lying between Fallston and Beams Mill and Double Shoals. He also owned a number of Negro slaves some who were Jack Wellmon. He and two wives and a number of his children and relatives, were buried in the family grave yard on the Wellmon old homestead and in sight of the home.

By the summer of 1865 he left Mincy and their infant daughter in the middle of the night and ran off with a woman named Margaret White. Hamby and Margaret first went to TN for a few years and finally settled in KY where they raised a family and lived for the rest of their lives. It is the understanding of his NC family and branches of the KY family (who still live in the area today) that Hamby never divorced Mincy and never officially married Margaret. After Hamby left Mincie, she and her daughter moved in with her parents where they lived in 1870. Her great grandchildren called her "Granddaddy". P. Hamby Philbeck and Mary Artimincy Dycus had the following child:
i. Eliza Ellen Philbeck was born 24 January 1865. Married Lawson Seaborn Jenkins.

P. Hamby Philbeck and Margaret White had the following children:

Charles's father James Love [or his brother?] was issued land grant # 291 in 1803 which was surveyed from a warrant for 320 acres "joining George Garman, Charles Alexander, Archibald White, Jonathan Osborn, and Christopher Osborne." These being the sons of the Christopher Osborne who died in 1789, it is important to note that they lived next to our known Love family. Of further interest, Phereby Osborne's sister Sarah married Henry, the son of John Plott. They moved to Buncombe County where Henry acquired his father's pack of hunting dogs brought over from Germany. Today a most valued breed of hound and a mountain range in western NC bare the name Plott.

Charles Love next appears in the 1800 census of Rutherford County NC where he is enumerated on page 126 as: 3m/10-, 1m26-45, 1f10-16, 1f16-26, 1f45+ This census record supports the possibility that Charles married Phereby sometime during the 1790's. Settling in a portion of Rutherford County that would later become part of Cleveland County NC, Charles Love's first known land purchase occurred in 1800. The definitions for his land acquisitions are as follows:

Deed 10/11-531, Rutherford NC) transaction date ________ recorded _________. William Magness sold to Charles Love 100 acres on the waters of Hickory Creek. Granted originally to Perry Green Magness, the land adjoined that of Josiah "Coventon." The witnesses were John Roberts and Jas. G. Beaty. Deed (22/23-88, Rutherford NC) transaction date: 28 Aug 1804. Pleasant Earles to Charles Love. Being four acres on the east side of Hickory Creek below the mill. The witnesses were John Wilson and Nathan Earles.

Deed (24-272, Rutherford NC) transaction date: 1 Jan 1807. Bennet Earles, Joshua Earles, Pleasant Earles, Nathan Earles, Labon Ledbetter, Elizabeth Earles, and Abel Harden to Charles Love, being 100 acres granted to William Earles and adjoining the lands of John Waterson. The witnesses were John Carruth and Zachariah Smith.

Dated 6 Mar 1818 in Rutherford County, Josiah Coventon (Covington) wrote his last will and testament. The eighth part of his will reads: "I leave to Charles Love My nabor two acres of land running up my spring branch from his sawmill to my land just be low my spring." Charles Love was named to be co-executor in this will that was probated in 1818. Note that Josiah Covington moved earlier from Stokes County NC where Charles Love likely once lived.

In the 1830's, Charles Love began selling off his lands. In the summer of 1832, Charles gave two hundred acres to the heirs of his deceased son John Love. In early winter of that same year, Charles gave land to his sons James and Osborne Love. The deeds area as follows:

Deed (37-142, Rutherford NC) transaction date: 27 Feb 1829. Charles Love to Samuel Green., for ten dollars being a tract of 2 3/4 acres joining Roberts and Green land on the south side of Shooly branch. Also another _ acre tract on the same branch. The transaction was witnessed by Perry G. Roberts. Jobbry Saunders, and T. F. Burchett. Deed (42-490, Rutherford NC) transaction date: 1 Jun 1832, recorded 9 Dec 1836. Charles Love to the children and "Bodily heirs of John Love." In consideration for natural love and affection, Charles Love gave 200 acres on the waters of Hickory Creek in Lincoln County. Adjoining lands belonging to "Watson" and Osborne Love, the tract includes "Improvements where said John Love lives." The witnesses were M. R. Alexander and Alexander Beaty.

Deed (38-610, Rutherford NC) transaction date; 13 May 1832. Charles Love for "natural affection for his son James." Being _____ hundred acres adjoining Samuel Green's land on _______ creek at "the mouth of the branch at the mill pond." The deed was witnessed by M. R. Alexander, Alexander Beaty, and __ Alexander.

Deed (38-611, Rutherford NC) transaction date; __________, recorded 3 Dec, 1832. Charles Love for "natural affection for his son Osborn." Being one hundred acres joining Ledbetter lands on the _____ Creek with improvements made by said Osborne Love. The witnesses were M. R. Alexander, Alexander Beaty, and ___ Alexander.

Charles Love died in the 1830's leaving a sizable estate that is found in the loose records of Cleveland County NC. Several of the children raised petitions against the estate. As appears in a spring 1861 petition of Thomas Wilson Sr. and wife Elizabeth, the estate and heirs of Charles Love are defined as follows:

" ...that Charles Love of Rutherford now Cleveland County died sometime in the year 183_ intestate leaving him surviving his widow Fereby Love and the following named children ...That is Elizabeth your Petitioner wife of petitioner Thos Wilson Senr., Charity Hendrick wife of Wm. Hendrick who is now a widow, Nancy wife of Wm. Poston, John Love, James Love, Oborne Love, Sarah wife of Levi Miller and Charles Love to where his real estate descended..."

Also accompanying and in support of the petition, Thomas Wilson produced a copy of the survey for Fereby Love's dower allotment. Being 74 acres including the mansion house, the 27 Sep 1839 allotment survey had been requested by "James Love, agent for Fereby Love." Thomas Wilson purchased most of the land and wanted it all for use in building a school, industry and for use as water supply for the town of Shelby. Fereby Love moved to Georgia with her son John Love. In the 1850 Gordon County census, she is listed as 81 years of age. Apparently, upon leaving North Carolina with her son John, Fereby sold the rights to her dower. The 1861 petition indicates that Fereby died sometime in the 1850's.
