Hello Group!!
I was wondering if anyone could tell me the History of Hewey Creek in Mecklenburg County? It flows under I-85 just north of Bracey, Virginia.
The reason I ask is my brick wall: John Henry Hewey Sr. John H Hewey Sr was born about 1827 in Virginia according to the 1850 Granville Co., NC Census. He married Margaret Daniel (daughter of Martin Daniel Jr and Avarilla Yancey) in December of 1849. By 1850, they are living in Granville Co., NC. This is the only time I find John H Hewey Sr in any Census records. I am only able to find his wife Margaret Hewey in the 1880 Census as widowed. I have no idea where they were in 1860 or 1870. The death certificate of their son, John Henry Hewey Jr (changed spelling to Heuay) states his Father was born in Pennsylvania.
Any help anyone can provide would be amazing. Thanks in advance!!
