Date of Action

Section 8-Additio nal Documentation

This additional documentation provides corrected information in regards to documentation in the
National Register nomination, Section 8, pages 1 and 2 for White Rock Plantation, Halifax County,
North Carolina. The nomination inaccurately named the wife of Joseph John Williams as Elizabeth
(Betsy) Norfleet Hunter. Her correct maiden name is Elizabeth Norfleet Hunter Williams, as she was the
daughter of Elisha Williams and Sarah Josey. This omission of her maiden last name is likely attributed
to the fact she married Joseph John Williams and the researcher must have assumed Williams was her
married last name and not her maiden name.
This new information was submitted by Larry Feldhaus of Hendersonville, Tennessee, a descendant of
Elisha Williams, from original family bible records on file in the Index of Bible Records from the
Warren County NC Clerks Office in Warrenton, North Carolina, which clearly indicates Mrs. Williams'
maiden last name. The specific sources are the Williams-Polk-Davis Bible, printed in 1832, and the
Williams & Polk Family Bible, brought in by Mrs. John Mitchell in 1975, no published date.
