Samuel Bittick was likely a renter not owner of lot #154.
In an 1795 deed between Caleb Story to Valentine Arnet (Arnett), recorded in
Stokes Co, NC, it mentions 95 acres on the Waters of Muddy Creek, adjoining
David Walker, Archibald Campbell and Samuel Bittick. So, this land must have
been part of the Wachovia Tract or very close since the above says the West
line of Wachovia was just west of Muddy Creek.
At the time John Bittick (born between 1755-1774, married Lydia Willis) bought land from Andrew Arnot (Arnett) in 16 Jan
1802 (was this written in Stokes Co?) and witnessed by Jarvis Willis -
but wasn't recorded until Sep 1802 in Caswell Co - all of these folks must
have been living in Stokes Co. And, then in Feb 1802 - Lewis Willis made
an oath in Stokes Co saying he witnessed a power of attorney for Andrew Arnott
(Arnett) to Arch Campbell.
These
families must have been known to each other or perhaps related by marriage.
A note about the Wachovia community (from the Jarvis Family & Other
Relatives web site: http://www.fmoran.com/wach2.html)
Wachovia is the name given to the entire tract bought by the
Moravian
Church
in
North Carolina
about 1752/55. The
village
of
Rural
Hall, in
Forsyth
County
, is almost exactly on the north line of the Wachovia Tract. The South line of
Forsyth
County
follows the old Wachovia line from the East to where it borders
Clemmons
Township
. The West line is just West of Muddy Creek. Walkertown is on the East line.
The Wachovia Tract contained about two thirds of what is now
Forsyth
County
. Bethabara, Bethania,
Salem
, Friedberg, Friedland and Hope settlements, were all inside the Wachovia Tract.
The deeds to the Wachovia Tract are on the books in the county seat of
Rowan
County
.
The Moravians selected their lands in ANSON County, they settled in ROWAN
County, they went through the Revolutionary War in SURRY County, through the War
of 1812 and the Mexican War in STOKES County, through the Civil War in FORSYTH
County, - AND THEY ALWAYS STAYED WHERE THEY STARTED.
(Extracted from a letter dated April 17, 1941 from Miss Adelaide L. Fries
(Archivist) to Mrs. Braun.)
