They jointly conveyed it to Othneil Trawick.</div> <div> "Athneil Trawick, 2 Jan 1796, conveyed one and a half acres of this land unto the Congregation of Mitchells Creek" "for the use of a preaching house." (v C2 ashpole church for copy of conveyance).</div> <div>    On 13 Feb 1796, James Cade (C202), q.v., conveyed to "Othneal Traywick," for 20 pounds specie, 220 acres in Robeson Co., N. C., on both sides of Mitchells Swamp.</div> <div> Other conveyances to or from Othneil Trawick and his sons may be recorded in Robeson Co., N. C., and Marion Co., S, C.</div> <div> On his death bed, 2 Jan 1801, he made an oral, or nuncupative will which was taken down by the witnesses. It is recorded in Robeson Co., N. C., Record of Wills 1, 1787-1847, page 111, copy of which follows.</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>WILL OF OTHNEIL TRAWICK</B></div> <div> Thursday 22nd of January 1801 being at the House of Orthneel Traeweek No Carolina Robeson County the said Traeweek appearing to us to be about to depart this life called upon us to hear him tell what his will was respecting what property God had blessed him with in this life.</div> <div> He wanted his wife and her children to have all the land belonging to the plantation which he lived on excepting that tract where the (blank space) was; Goodman and George to have all the land in the So, State (South Carolina) that was on the other side Little Peedee called the Ferry; Henry to have the meeting house place; and the land on this side of Little Peedee including his Pausten [pasture?] was to be holden equally by all family; all the rest of his loose land his son William should have-and respecting the debt he owed Gibson he had money nearly sufficient in the house to pay the first payment and the debts that was due him them two boys namely</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>2204</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>6660a MARTHA (BETHEA) TRAWICK</B></div> <bR> <div> Goodman and George must have to pay for the land-and the rest of his property he wanted equally divided by the Barns' and Betheas and to have nothing sold.-Sion alford (m CA-20ab)-mary (her x mark) curry.</div> <div> CONVEYANCES OF HIS WIDOW AND CHILDREN</div> <div> "The land on this (north) side of Little Peedee including his pausten was to be holden equally by all family."   This was 640 acres of land in South Carolina near his Robeson Co., N, C., lands and is described in conveyances from his heirs as on the north side of Little Pee Dee River on the south side of Hays' Swamp conveyed to Othneil Trawick and by him in his will, recorded in Robeson Co., N. C., to his heirs. His heirs evidently divided it among themselves. Parts of it were conveyed to Hector McNeill (m 10a), q.v., p. 859, by Martha Trawick (6660a) and Luntsford Trawick (6660a4), 15 Apr 1807, for $47.50; 94 acres adjacent to the portions of two minor heirs; another part by Luntsford Trawick of Robeson Co., N, C., 20 Jan 1810, for $47.00; 94-½ acres and another part by Arthur Pitman (m 6660aa) and Samuel Bracey (m 6660ab), 15 Sep 1816, for $95.00; 95 acres received "from said (Othneil) Trawick by will and regular conveyance to his daughters, Seneth Traweck (6660aa), wives of Arthur Pitman and Samuel Bracy" all of whom signed the conveyance which was witnessed by William "Traweck." (For further reference to these conveyances v 10a, S. C. Deeds, p. 850).</div> <div> In Account of Estate of Thomas Harllee (1), q.v., p, 424, is an item: 28 Apr 1829 "To Amt  pd (O. Trawick for shoes for Wm. $7.00." This was not Othneil Trawick (m 6660a) who had then been dead 28 years; probably he was the latter's son by his first wife and the same "Othnael" Trawick who hired a negro, 11 Feb 1845, from estate of John Braddy (m 660c).</div> <div> 6660b CHARITY BETHEA (m - - - LEE?)</div> <div> "Charity Bethea daughter of William Bethea and Sary his wife was born December the 2 1772." (Bible of her brother Jesse Bethea (66604), q.v.) Her parents then resided near present Little Rock, S. C.</div> <div> She is believed to have been the Charity Lee whose letter from Columbia, Marion County, Miss., Dec. 14, 1839, to Mr. David S. Harllee (102) (q.v., p. 487-copy of letter) is subscribed "Your aunt."</div> <div> Charity Bethea was sister of Philip Bethea whose widow became the step-mother of David S. Harllee. He probably addressed her as "aunt" and she accordingly so subscribed herself in her letter to him.</div> <div> Her parents resided in South Carolina within about a mile of where David S. Harllee's father resided. She undoubtedly knew him there.</div> <div> It has been stated herein (p, 487) that she was probably his wife's aunt, but it now appears more probable that she subscribed herself as his aunt because she was sister-in-law of his step-mother.</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>2205</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>(from KINSFOLKS, by Wm C.
