DAVIE COUNTY HISTORY ONLINE
At the Website http://www.daviecountync.gov/440/Genealogy-Local-History you will be able to
research more and more Davie County data. On November 6, 2016, I emailed you directions for reading
the newspapers online. I’ll repeat it here in case you misplaced it.
The Davie County Public Library has been working to get digitized newspapers and obituaries
online. The work has not been totally completed, but you’ll be able to find some very helpful material at
the Website above.
NEWSPAPER FILES: If you click on the words “Newspaper Files from Davie County” on this site, you
will be able to read many newspapers from Davie. They are also searchable. At the very top of the page
that lists the years, type in a name that you would like to research. Or, you can choose a date to be able to
browse that newspaper. These are big files, so you’ll need to wait for the page to load.
OBITUARIES: at the Website: http://www.daviecountync.gov/440/Genealogy-Local-History, click on
Obituaries from Davie County. You can also search for a name at the top of the screen. If a year or name
doesn’t appear, it probably means that it hasn’t been uploaded yet. Again, they’re not totally finished
with uploading everything.
FOLD3: Notice also at http://www.daviecountync.gov/440/Genealogy-Local-History, that you can use
Fold3 at your own computer at home if you have a Davie County Public Library card. This Website has
predominantly military records, but also includes other records. The name refers to the way that the US
flag is folded.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
FUTURE DATA ABOUT CHURCHES:
Three volunteers are compiling information about the oldest churches in Davie County, and that will be
uploaded soon. Look for it on this same page listed above.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
BURIAL RECORDS:
http://cemeterycensus.com/nc/davie/index.htm
LAND RECORDS:
How to trace land records online:
www.daviencrod.org; click the acknowledge button; click Scanned Index Books; at left click 1-Grantor
[seller] or 2-Grantee [buyer]; at left, click year range; at left, type in surname after the field Human; at
left, click surname. Look in first column for given names starting with A-H; second column I-O; third
column P-Z. This will give book and page name. Type these numbers in fields at top right.
If you can find the exact location, you’ll want to document that by providing latitude and longitude
numbers. To find L/L, open Google Maps. Double-click with the left mouse button on the location that
you’ve found. The popup box will contain your numbers. Example: Mocksville High School location
was 35.899473, -80.555957. There are 4 different ways to write the L/L location, but this decimal
method is the easiest. In Google Maps you can also search with these numbers to pin point a spot on a
map. You can also use them in a GPS.

WORLD WAR ONE
There is a lot of information and emphasis on the 100th anniversary of this “War to End All
Wars”. Perhaps you’re watching the PBS specials about it. A high school student here in Davie has been
giving seminars about the war. Two of the five sessions are on April 22 and 29 at the Davie County
Public Library at 2 pm. The public is invited to these.
Davie County in World War One by Marie Craig gives biographies of the 670 men and 3 women
who served. See page 9 for information for ordering this book.
Mocksville Graded School in the year 1908 included thirteen boys who later served in WWI.
Front row: 1st boy Kim Sheek, 5th boy Norman Clement, 6th boy Jack Allison, 7th boy Bill LeGrand,
8th boy Lester Martin, 9th boy Philip Stewart, 10th boy Mayo Foster, 12th boy Lonnie Griffin,
13th boy Ranier Brenegar
Second row: 2nd boy Tom Meroney; last boy Jacob Stewart, Jr.
Third row: last boy Brady Foster;
Back row (standing): 14th person Aaron Bowls (tallest boy)

The George Moore and Aquila Beck Families of
Rowan and Davie Counties, North Carolina
Article by Margaret B. Champion
Recently, while identifying the parents of a resident of Madison County, Indiana, it was necessary to
“follow” the ancestors of that family from North Carolina.
Aquila Moore was the son of George and Mary Moore. They, and some of the other children of George
and Mary, first appeared in Madison County, Indiana, about the year 1836. They had traveled there from
Rowan and Davie Counties in North Carolina.
Rowan and Davie Counties, North Carolina
George Moore married Mary Beck in Rowan County on 15 December 1798.1,2 The year previous to the
marriage, George Moore acquired 80 acres on Dutchmans Creek.3 And, the year preceding this, George
Moore and Aquilla Beck together were the witnesses of a deed.4 George Moore and Aquilla Beck both
acquired other lands as well in the same general location on Dutchmans Creek.
One particular land transaction that occurred was that between Aquilla Beck and Editha Beck. (Editha
Beck was most likely the widow of Aquilla’s son, John, and thus his daughter-in-law rather than his
daughter.) According to the deed:5
Aquilla Beck deeded to Editha Beck, daughter, all of his stock, plantation, household and kitchen
furniture, and 190 acres on Dutchmans Creek where Aquilla lived - after Edith’s death the
property was to go to her son John Beck.
As found in Jo White Linn’s compilation, 1815 Rowan County, North Carolina, Tax List, the tax list of
Capt. Pierce’s Company included: 6
Acquilla Beck no white or black polls 175 acres
John Beck (decd) by Jas. Guard 0 white, 1 black poll 45 acres
George More Jr. 1 white, 1 black poll 270 acres
William More 1 white, 0 black polls
George More Sr. by George Moore Jr. no white or black polls 278 acres
John Beck, deceased, could be Aquilla Beck’s son and husband of Editha Beck (in the land transaction
found above).

Carolina in 1812 and 1814, is John Beck, Rowan County 2nd Regiment of the 6th Regiment. 7 (This John
Beck could be the same as listed in tax list above.)

Madison County, Indiana
At some point in the 1840s, Editha Beck migrated to Madison County, Indiana, seemingly with her son
John and his family. John and Editha are listed together in census entries from 1850 through 1880 in
Madison County. The Beck family lived in the same Madison County neighborhood as George Moore:
in 1850, the John Beck household was enumerated one household before George Moore, and in 1860, five
households away from George Moore.
Editha Beck died in 1885 and was buried in Vinson Memorial Park, Summitville, Madison County,
Indiana.20 John (25 February 1815 – 18 October 1901) is buried there as well.21 John’s will mentions his
wife, Mary E.; his son, Henry V.; and his daughter Marth/Marthe E. Wood/Woods and Amanda M.
Herold.22 As John and Mary E. Shelton married in Davie County, North Carolina on 4 July 1846, it is
likely that Amanda was John’s daughter from his first marriage.23
