Mayfield Families of Granville, Franklin and Warren
Counties -- an Analysis of the NC State and Federal Census Reports for the years
1786-1860
By Phil Norfleet
Most of the early Mayfield immigrants to South
Carolina (SC) in the years immediately before and after the Revolution came to
SC from either Granville or Bute Counties in North Carolina (NC). During
the Revolutionary War, in 1779, Bute County (named after the Earl of Bute in
England) was abolished and split into two parts; the northern portion became
Warren County and the southern portion became Franklin County. At that
time all of the Mayfield families of Bute County were living in the northern
part and thus became residents of Warren County.
To properly understand the origin of many of the
early Mayfield families of SC, it is first necessary to understand their
relationship to the Mayfields of early Granville and Warren Counties NC.
To form a basis for such an understanding, I have prepared tables summarizing
the Mayfield family information contained in the NC State and Federal census
reports for the period 1786 through 1860. Where possible, for each Mayfield
household, I have annotated the tables with my tentative identification as to
how the family fits into the overall Mayfield genealogical scheme.
North Carolina State Census for 1784-1787
In 1784, the North Carolina Legislature ordered
that a state census be conducted of all residents of the state both black
and white, free and slave. Unfortunately, most of the NC counties were
slow to implement this legislation. It was not until 1786 that this census
was conducted for Granville and Warren Counties. Unfortunately, the
returns for Franklin County contained only numbers and no names, hence the data
for Franklin are of no genealogical use.

I'm not sure of the identity of this person.
This "Obey" Mayfield may be the same person as the "Abe" Mayfield shown in
the 1790 federal census. "Obey" could be the census taker's phonetic
version of "Abe" or "A. B." Mayfield. |

This is undoubtedly the same Valentine
Mayfield who died testate in Granville County in 1791. This census is
the best data source as to the size of his family, i.e., a wife, 4 sons and
3 daughters, just a few years prior to his death. |
| 3. Warren |
Abraham Mayfield |

12 |
This Abraham Mayfield is undoubtedly the same
man who died testate in Warren County in 1809. The John and Thomas
Mayfield, cited in separate households below, are probably Abraham's eldest
sons. Thus, at this time, Abraham's family consists of his second
wife, Mary (Polly nee White); at least 3 sons and at
least 3 daughters. His will names his wife Mary; sons John, Thomas and
Edmond; and daughters (all now married) Mary Jackson, Catherine Dye, Agnes
White and Nancy Helton. In all, 3 sons and 4 daughters. Thus by 1786,
at least one of his daughters was already married and living in another
household and his sons, John and Thomas, also had their own households. |

John Mayfield |

This John Mayfield (1749-1824) is genealogically well
documented. In about 1810, he emigrated to Franklin County GA.
Unfortunately, in 1824, on a visit to Granville County NC with his second
wife, he took ill and died. In all, John had 2 wives, 6 sons and
3 daughters. |

Thomas Mayfield |

This Thomas Mayfield is the son of Abraham
Mayfield (d. 1809). In later years, he would become very wealthy and
owned many slaves. Thomas died testate in Warren County in 1832. |
| 6. Warren |
Joseph Mayfield |
1 |

1 |
Due to his apparent age and wealth, Joseph is
probably a brother of Abraham Mayfield (d. 1809) and not a son. Thus he
would probably be the son of the elder Abraham Mayfield, who died testate in
Granville County in 1778. Joseph either died or emigrated prior to the 1790
Federal Census for NC. |
North Carolina Federal Census for 1790
The first United States Federal Census was
conducted in 1790. The "census day" for the 1790 enumeration was the first
Monday in August 1790 or 2 August 1790. This means that the information given to the census taker
was to be correct as of that day. Unfortunately the detailed census for
Granville County has been lost. Accordingly, the information presented in
the published records for that county, a simple list of names, is based on
Granville County tax records for that year. We do have the data for Warren
County and this information is shown in the following table:

This Thomas Mayfield (d. 1832) is
the son of Abraham Mayfield (d. 1809). The census data implies that
Thomas had 1 son
and 4 daughters still living in his household in 1790.. Since he owns 23 slaves, Thomas
must have been a relatively wealthy man for his time. |
| 2. Warren |
Abraham Mayfield |

0 |
1 |
22 |
This Abraham (d. 1809) is the
father of at least three sons: (Thomas, John and Edmond) and 4 daughters.
Since only Abraham and his wife Mary are listed, it appears that all of his
children were then living in their own households.
Abraham owns 22 slaves indicating that he was a fairly wealthy man. |
| 3. Warren |
John Mayfield |

The entry for this this John Mayfield (1749-1824)
indicates that he then had 6 sons and 3 daughters. John is genealogically well
documented and the names of all of his 9 children are known from Bible
records. In about 1810, he emigrated to Franklin County GA. However, in
1824, on a visit to Granville County NC with his second wife, he took ill
and died. |
| 4. Warren |
Edmond Mayfield |

The census report states that this man's name
is "Edw'd" but it almost certainly refers to Edmond Mayfield (d. 1831), son
of Abraham (d. 1809). |
| 5. Granville |
Valentine Mayfield |
|
|
|
|
The names listed for Granville
County were taken from tax records and no family information is available.
This Valentine Mayfield is undoubtedly the man who died testate in Granville
County in 1791. |
| 6. Granville |
"Abe" Mayfield |
|
|
|
|
The names listed for Granville
County were taken from tax records and no family information is available.
This "Abe" Mayfield may be the same person as the "Obey" Mayfield shown in
the 1786 state census. "Obey" could be the 1786 census taker's
phonetic version of "Abe" or "A. B." Mayfield. |
North Carolina Federal Census for 1800
The second United States Federal Census was
conducted in 1800. The official "Census Day" was 4 August 1800. This
means that the information given to the census taker was to be correct as of
that day. Fortunately the detailed census information for Granville,
Franklin and Warren Counties are all extant. The 1800 census information for the
Mayfields are shown in the following tables:

This Valentine (b. 1774) is the son of

him is marked in error. In 1810 he would only have been about 36 years old.
The female in age group 26-45 is Valentine's wife Elizabeth (b. 1780).
The white female over age 45 is probably Valentine's widowed mother,
Winifred Mayfield. The younger male shown with Valentine in the
1800 census (Daniel Mayfield) is no longer in the household. |

when John died in 1818 he left a widow (Sally) and seven children - 3 sons

have died before 1818 -- perhaps in the War of 1812. |

attempts by the census takers to transcribe a phonetic version of "Abe" or
"A. B." Mayfield. "Abe" Mayfield is probably the father of the younger
Valentine Mayfield cited below. This is the last census entry for "Abe"
Mayfield and he probably died shortly after deeding property to "his son

Valentine (b. 1774) is the son
of Valentine Mayfield Sr. (d. 1791). The white female in the 40-50 age
group is probably his wife, Elizabeth (nee Davis) Mayfield (b. 1780), The
white female in the 30-40 age group is probably an unmarried sister of
Valentine's, Polly Mayfield (b. 1790). Note that Valentine's widowed
mother, Winifred Mayfield, is no longer shown in the household; she probably
died in the 1820-1830 timeframe. |
