Biography

U.S. Southern Colonies Project logo
Zadock Stallings was a North Carolina colonist.
1776 Project
Ens. Zadock Stallings served with North Carolina Militia during the American Revolution.

Zadock Stallings was a Johnston Co. farmer, and a large landholder. He was probably part of the first generation of the Stallings family to be born in Johnston Co, North Carolina. He was the son of James Stallings from Nansemond, Virginia, who migrated to Johnston Co. He fought in the Revoluionary War, in the Johnston County Regiment, along side his, brothers, in-laws, and many of the Stallings closest allied families, such as Smiths, Bryans, Hintons, Averas & Vinsons. Zadock, and his brother Jacob, married Anne Avera & Edith “Edy” Avera, both daughters of Thomas Avera Jr. The Averas were also early settlers of Johnston County.

Census records show that Zadock and Anne Stallings probably had nine or more children. Like his father James Stallings, Zadock’s large plantation was along the Neuse River, near the Wake County border.

War Service

  • Zadock Stallings received pay for service, in the N.C. Militia, during the Revolutionary War. It was from Capt. John Smith, from Newbern District, Johnston County, North Carolina, in the year 1782. This is probably the same Capt. John Smith whom his brother Ezekiel Stallings served under, during his Revolutionary War service in 1780. He was mentioned in his brothers pension application.
  • In February 1781, Zadock Stallings was paid by commissioner John Whitley, for Johnston Co., for “…one poor hogg…”, and it was probably for troops, or war related purposes.
  • In June 1815 Zadock was paid by the City of Raleigh, NC, for supplying whiskey to a Wake County Troop of Cavalry, during The War of 1812. (good man!)

Death & Supreme Court Case

Zadock Stallings died intestate in 1830. His death ignited a N.C. Supreme Court case regarding the passing down of slaves, after dying without a will. Apparently Zadock’s son, Isaac Stallings, was unhappy with the share of slaves he received upon his fathers death.
