Hulsey II

1793 in Greenville Dist., SC
Married: 1752 in Goochland, VA
Hannah Witt
Born: 1730 in Halifax, Halifax Co., VA; Died: 1805 in Franklin Co., GA
Origin:
He was born about 1721-1722 to Charles Hulsey and Savannah.
His father died in 1722 or before, willing a 100 ac. tract to John Webb,
apparently for the support of Charles II. His mother inherited a second tract
of 85 acres, both tracts being in Goochland, VA.
Nearing her death, his mother repurchased the Charles Webb tract and deeded a
total of 200 acres to Charles II “for love and affection” in 1729. “Susannah
Hulsey of St James Parish, Goochland co, for love and affection, to her son
Charles Hulsey, land on lower side of upper branch of Beaver Dam Creek, 200
acres with all houses, etc. Wit: John Webb, Joseph Ashlin.”
Early Life:
It is unknown where Charles II spent his minority. During his majority he was
closely associated with the Webb, Witt, Matlock, Estes and Chandler families
over his lifetime. His and John Webb's 200 acre property was cited as being
excluded from a deed uttered on Apr. 20, 1836. (This and following real estate
transactions posted on Ancestry by Stan Coker.) On May 18, 1743 he sold an
undescribed property to Tucker Woodson.
His first child, James Junnius, was born of Hanna Witt in 1754. His marriage to
Hannah Witt, daughter of John Witt, was recorded in the Douglas Register on
Jan. 2, 1756 and his second child, Charles III, was born on July 2, 1756
according to the same Register.
