Biography

Variations for the spelling of the surname include: DesLoges, DeLoach, Deloach, DeLoatch William was born in about 1702. He probably was born in that part of old Surry County, Virginia., which in 1720 became a part of Brunswick County and in 1781 became a part of the present Greensville County, Virginia. He was the second son of William Deloach and Eleanor Collins.

Willilam Jr. moved to Northampton County, North Carolina prior to Feb 22nd of 1727. --

In about 1725 Willliam married Judith Wall daughter of Richard and Lucy Wall. Richard's will (dated 29 February 1752 and proved in August 1755) of record in Northampton County, N.C., names his daughter Judith DeLoach. -- (Grimes - North Carolina Wills, 1690-1760, page 390; North Carolina Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. 1, page 516.)

William and Judith first settled on a 100-acre tract of land -- (lying on Fountains Creek and Meherrin River in the then Brunswick County and immediately above the Virginia-North Carolina boundary line) -- which evidently was given to him by his father.

On 22 February 1727, after moving from Virginia into North Carolina, William sold this land to Benjamin Boykin, and Judith renounced her dower rights. -- (Brunswick County, Va., Deed Book 1, page 406.)

On 6 June 1731 William DeLoach, Jr., was granted 350 acres of land situated on the south side of Meherrin River, in that part of old Bertie County, North Carolina which in 1741 was formed into Northampton County. --(North Carolina State/Colonial Records, Vol. 4, page 624.) -- Hereafter mentioned as William DeLoach.

In 1739 William DeLoach and Richard Wall (William's father-in-law or brother-in-law) were appointed jurors for Bertie-Edgecombe Coun- ties. On 5 February 1740 William DeLoach appeared on the list of jurors for those counties. -- (North Carolina State/Colonial Records, Vol. 4, page 524.)

Willliam also lived in Edgecomb and Bertie Counties in North Carolina. He had grants of land there for 900 acres.

He was a member of the Baptist Church and was said to be a surveyor.

By his father's will he was given two negroes, with the statement: -- "I have already given my foresaid son William DeLoach lands and negroes in times past equal in value or surmounting the value of which I have herein bequeathed to any one of my other children and in fore time delivered to him". The lands given to him were the forementioned 100 acres in Brunswick County, Virginia, and the 800 acres of land in Edgecombe County, North Carolina.

William owned lands on the upper Pee Dee River in South Carolina as early as 1736.

In 1744-5 William moved to the Welsh Tract on the Pee Dee River in South Carolina. In a petition (read and approved on 8 February 1745) presented to the Council of Colonial South Carolina he prayed for a grant of 350 acres of land in right of seven persons (evidently himself, his wife, and five slaves, -- 50 acres of land being allowed for each person) included in his family. For the 350 acres he had previously paid to the possessor œ 100 currency for his good will, although the possessor then had neither a warrant nor a grant for the land.

The petitioner also stated his desire to erect a grist mill for serving the people of the Welsh Tract.

The following described actions resulted from this petition. (a) On 22 January 1747 William received a grant for 200 acres on the Pee Dee River and situated in the present Chesterfield County, S.C., at a point between the towns of Society Hill and Cheraw.

This was his home plantation until 20 March 1754, when he sold it and moved to land on the"South Prong" of Lynches Creek in the present Kershaw County, South Carolina -- (Plat Books, Vol. 4, page 338; Grant Books, Vol. 4, 1752-1774, Class 1, page 116; Council Journals of Colonial South Carolina; H.T. Cook - Rambles In The Pee Dee Basin of South Carolina, page 64; Deed Book PP, pages 269-271, at Charleston, S.C., and microfilm of same in the State Archives at Columbia, S.C.) (b) On 13 September 1746 a plat for 150 acres on the Pee Dee River and situated in the present Marlboro County, S.C., was certified for William. He either allowed his warrant for the land to lapse or sold it to another person and no grant was given to him. -- (Plat Books, Vol. 4, page 339; Council Jour- nals of Colonial South Carolina.)

On 23 March 1748 a survey of 50 acres of land in the present Chester- field County, S.C., was certified for William, which land apparently was due him in right of a child who came with him to South Carolina and died there during 1745 or early 1746. Since no grant was given to William, he probably sold his warrant for the land to Robert Williams for whom the plat was certified on 5 May 1752. -- (Plat Books, Vol. 5, page 169; Council Journals of Colonial South Carolina.)

After coming to South Carolina William and Judith DeLoach became members of the Welsh Neck Baptist Church located at James' Neck, on the Pee Dee River, in the present Marlboro County. At about 1754 a group of members moved westward from this church towards Lynches Creek, where on 1 September 1755 they organized the first Baptist church on that creek. William and Judith went with that group and were constituent members of the said church, which was located on the east side of the main stream of the creek in the present Chesterfield County.

In Leah Townsend's South Carolina Baptists, 1670-1805, pages 95 and 96 it is said that WIlliam De Loach and his wife Judith were constituent members of the Baptist Church on Lynches Creek in the Welsh Tract.

William secured a grant of 200 acres in Craven District, South Carolina in 1746 and between that year and 1756 he had obtained additional land grants for 350 more acres.

The father of William made his will in 1747 and William Jr. was named in the will.

The will of William DeLoach of Brunswick County, Va., dated 25 March 1745 and proved on 3 March 1747, is recorded in Brunswick County Will Book 2, page 140. By this will he disposed of his estate in the following manner. To his wife Eleanor he gave 500 acres of land (the planta- tion whereon I now live together with the lands thereunto belonging) for the term of her natural life, two female negroes to be at her own disposing, and a negro boy during the term of her natural life. To his son Francis he gave the 500 acres of land and the negro boy which were given first to Eleanor during the term of her natural life, 400 acres of land on the south side of Wild Catt Swamp in Northampton (formerly Bertie) County, N.C., and four negroes. To his daughter Martha (wife of Harmon Hill) two negroes and a chest with key thereto. To his daughter Anne (wife of William Hill) three negroes, two cows, and two calves. To his granddaughter Cela Hill (daughter of William and Anne Hill) one cow and calf. To his son William two negroes.

-- In times past he had "already given William lands and negroes equal in value or surmounting the value of" what in his will was bequeathed to any one of his other children.

William was named in the will of his mother in 1748.

The will of Eleanor DeLoach, widow, of Brunswick County, Va., dated 30 September 1748 and proved on 26 September 1750, is recorded in Brunswick County Will Book 2 (1739-1785), pages 185 and 186. By this will she disposed of her personal property in the following manner. To her son Francis a negro wench, and all other part of the estate not otherwise mentioned. To her grandson Thomas DeLoach (son of Francis) a negro girl child. To her granddaughter Eleanor Hill (daughter of Harmon Hill) fifteen shillings current money to buy her a ring. To her daughter Anne Hill (wife of William Hill) a riding horse and side saddle, a trunk with lock and key and a large bottle in the trunk, and all wearing apparel. To her granddaughters Celia Philips and Anne Hill (daughters of William and Anne Hill) a negro girl child, but to Anne only if Celia should die without an heir. To her son William, Jr., twenty shillings current money. To her granddaughter Eleanor DeLoach (daughter of William, Jr.) fifteen shillings current money to buy her a ring.
