LEWIS FOY listed.)

Now, there is an instance where names associated with a particular LEWIS FOY
we recognize as being members of JAMES FOY, SR’s immediate family. Both
ENOCH and MORRIS are the names of two of JAMES FOY, JR’s children.
THOMAS FOY allegedly was the father of JAMES.

Another record discovered in the Jones County, N.C. Deed Book K. Page 157
was a deed wherein LEWIS FOY sold a slave named PETER to ENOCH FOY
for $300.00. This is one of those records we liken to a “slam dunk” in basketball
to prove our point. Look back at the will of JAMES FOY, SR on the third page
of this chapter. Note the name of the slave JAMES gave to his son, LEWIS.
That’s right. It was PETER.

In the Jones County, N.C. Deed Book K, page 176-177 and in Deed Book 4, page
244 there is a record recorded in 1808 reporting the fact that ENOCH FOY sold

to LEWIS FOY 173 acres of land for $700.00.

Another Jones County record found in Deed Book 12, pages 338 & 339 is a deed
dated October 16, 1809 wherein is recorded that ELIZABETH & RHODA
NEWBOLD sold 268 acres of land to LEWIS FOY for $1,000.00. We do not
know who the NEWBOLDs are but the transaction obviously was with the
LEWIS FOY who lived in Jones County, N.C. that had dealings with other direct
members of the JAMES FOY, SR family.

In Deed Book 12, pages 60 & 61 is a record reporting that on April 3, 1811
WILLIAM WATSON sold 160 acres of land to LEWIS FOY. This transaction
was witnessed by HASKIL HATCH and HENRY R. WARD. (WARD is a name

associated with JAMES FOY,SR. He married two ELIZABETH WARDs.) We
will see the name HATCH associated with this LEWIS FOY in the next item.

In Deed Book 12, page 224 is a record reporting that in November of 1811 in
Jones County LEWIS FOY sold a slave named HENRY (about age 8) to HENRY
C. HATCH. This was witnessed by JOHN HOUSTON.

On January 11, 1813 in Jones County LEWIS FOY sold 363 acres of land to
ENOCH FOY. This is found in Deed Book 12, page 329 of Jones County records.
