H. W. HARRINGTON - 1810

State of North Carolina, Richmond County. To the Sheriff of Richmond County, Greeting: You are hereby 
commanded to summon John McCaskel, (new) and John McInnis (big) personally to appear before the Judge 
of our next Superior Court of Law to be held for Richmond County at the Court House in Rockingham on 
the 3rd Monday of September next to give evidence on behalf of Moses Knight in a suit then and there 
depending wherein Rosanna Harrington, Exec. of Henry Wm. Harrington is plaintiff and Moses Knight is 
defendant, and this they shall in no wise omit under the penalty by Law. Witness B. H. Covington, Clerk 
of our said Court at Office the 3rd Monday of March AD 1814 and 38th year of American Independence this 
2nd August 1814. B. H. Covington.

Richmond County Superior Court of Law, this 3rd Monday September 1815. Rosanna Harrington, Executor of 
the last will and testament of Henry Wm. Harrington dec'd, complains of Moses Knight being in custody. 
For that whereas the said Moses Knight on the 1st day of June 1808 at Richmond County aforesaid was 
indebted to the said Henry William Harrington in the sum of one hundred pounds lawful money of North 
Carolina for divers goods, wares and merchandise before that time by the said Henry Wm. Harrington 
bargained sold and delivered to the said Moses Knight at his special instance and request. And also in 
the further sum of one hundred pounds like lawful money for money before that time lent and advances to 
and for money paid, laid out and expended for the said Moses Knight at his special instance and request, 
and also in the further sum of three hundred pounds like lawful money for other money by the said Moses 
Knight before that time had and received to and for the use of said Henry W. Harrington. Being so indebted 
he the said Moses Knight in consideration thereof afterwards to wit, on fifteenth June in the year last 
aforesaid at Richmond County aforesaid undertook and then and there faithfully promised the said Henry 
Wm. Harrington to pay him the said several sums of money when he the said Moses Knight should be thereunto 
afterwards requested. And whereas afterwards, to wit, on the day and year last aforesaid at Richmond County 
aforesaid in consideration that the said Henry Wm. Harrington at the like instance and request of said Moses 
Knight had before that time bargained sold and delivered to the said Moses Knight divers other goods wares 
and merchandises did assume upon himself, and doth fully promise that he the said Moses Knight would pay 
to the said Henry Wm. Harrington so much money as the said last mentioned goods wares and merchandise at 
the time of the said sale and delivery thereof was reasonably worth. When he the said Moses Knight should 
be thereunto afterwards requested, and the said Rosanna Harringon, Executrix as aforesaid, and that the 
last mentioned goods, wares and merchandises were reasonably worth the further sum of five hundred pounds 
like lawful money to wit, at Richmond County aforesaid, whereof the said Moses Knight afterwards had noted.

And whereas also the said Moses Knight afterwards in the lifetime of the said Henry Wm. Harrington to wit, 
on the first day of June, 1808 at Richmond County was indebted to the said Henry Wm. Harrington in the 
further sum of one hundred pounds like lawful money for divers other goods, wares and merchandise by the 
said Henry Wm. Harrington before that time sold and delivered to the said Moses Knight at his like special 
instance and request. Also in the further sum of one hundred pounds like lawful money for money be the said 
Henry Wm. Harrington before this time lent and advanced to and paid, laid out and expended, for the said 
Moses Knight at his like special instance and request, and also in the further sum of three hundred pounds 
like lawful money for other money by the said Moses Knight before that time had received to and for the use 
of said Henry Wm. Harrington. And the said Moses Knight being so indebted and the said several sums of money 
being and remaining wholly due and owing unpaid and unsatisfied, he the said Moses Knight in consideration 
thereof afterwards and after the death of said Henry Wm. Harrington, to wit, on the first day of June in the 
year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ten at Richmond County aforesaid undertook, and then and 
there faithfully promised to said Rosanna Harrington as executrix of Henry Wm. Harrington aforesaid to pay 
her the said sum of money in this amount, when he the said Moses Knight should be thereunto afterwards 
requested. Yet the said Moses Knight not regarding, contriving to deceive and defraud the said Henry William 
Harrington in his lifetime, and the said Rosanna Harrington as executrix aforesaid since the death of said 
Henry Wm. Harrington, in his behalf hath an not yet paid the said several sums of money or other of them 
mentioned in the two first counts or any part thereof to the said Henry William Harrington in his life time 
nor to the said Rosanna Harrington since the death of said Henry Wm. Harrington, nor hath he paid the money 
mentioned on the third and last count to the said Rosanna Harrington as she often requested him so to do, 
but to pay the said several sums of money to the said Rosanna Harrington hath hitherto wholly refused, and 
still doth refuse to the damage of said Rosanna Harrington and therefore she brings this suit. And the 
said Rosanna Harrington brings into Court her letters testamentary of the said Henry Wm. Harrington, 
deceased, whereby it fully appears to the said Court here that the said Rosanna Harrington is executrix of 
the last will and testament of the said Henry Wm. Harrington and hath executor[ship] thereof.

North Carolina, Richmond County. Rosanna Harrington, Executor of General Henry William Harrington vs. 
Moses Knight. Affidavit. Moses Knight maketh oath that Jas. M. Tindal would have been a material witness 
for him in the trial of this cause; that the said Tindal, as this deponent believes, went to the State of 
New York sometime in Nov'r last, and has not yet returned, that this defendant was assured of the materiality 
of his testimony and would have had him subpoenaed in this cause, had he remained in this State. That this 
deponent could, as he believes, with the aid of the testimony of said Tindal, have made a substantial defense 
against a considerable part of the claim of the plaintiff; that he believes injustice has been done him by 
the verdict of the jury.  

The defendant further states, that having the management of a mill, he was informed on the morning of the 
day on which the trial was had, that the water had risen to such a degree as to endanger the said mill 
unless he gave his immediate attention; that he was necessarily detained there such a length of time as 
rendered it impracticable for him to give his attendance at Court until his cause had gone to the jury.

This deponent further states that Wm. Alston, Jun'r. and John McFarland of Georgetown [Georgetown is 
lined through, and above it is written Wengan (? illegible) District South Carolina] are material 
witnesses for him in this cause, that being obliged, Charleston approved an agent in this County with 
instructions to take out commissions and send them to Messers William Murray and John Wilson, Justices 
of the Peace of the said District. That he is informed and believes his agent did procure commissions 
and sent them by a person whom this deponent always considered safe and careful in the management of 
business. That the agent of the plaintiff had motive to attend to the taking of the deposition of said 
witness agreeably to law, as this deponent believes. The deponent further says, that the commissions 
sent by his agent were not received by the justices appointed to take the depositions in due time for 
that purpose. That after being [informed] of this circumstance, he had not time to give 30 days notice 
to take the said depositions, ...but says that with the benefit of the testimony of said witnesses his 
addition to that of James M. Tindal he could disclose facts which would, as he believes, entirely preclude 
a recovery on the part of the plaintiff. This deponent further says that on the first day of this Court 
in a conversation with Joseph Pickett, Esquire agent of the plaintiff, he expressly understood from said 
Pickett that unless Jas. M. Tindal gave his attendance at this Court, he the said Pickett would not urge 
for a trial at this term, but would consent to a continuance, otherwise the deponent would have sworn to 
an affidavit previous to his leaving Court on Monday, or would have adopted law at this necessary to 
continue a continuance. Moses Knight. Sworn to & subscribed in open Court before Jno. Clark, CSC. [no date]

to wit., the plantation and tract of land whereon I now reside, called "Beaus jour" containing five 
hundred acres, more or less, as the same was conveyed by Mrs. Rosa Harrington to me, being part of a 
tract of six hundred and forty acres, granted to Henry William Harrington in the year seventeen hundred 
and eighty. Also, the following slaves, to wit: Jesse, Rachel, Harriet, Caroline, Delilah, Cornelius, 
Johanna, Adame, and Dianna, and Derry, and their future increase; Also the yellow gelding Dick, four cows 
and calves, two young heifers, or steers, which cattle my friend Cynthia may select from my stock. Also 
twenty-five head of stock hogs, all the domestic fowls of every description, I may possess at the time of 
my death; all my household and kitchen furniture of every description, except the bookcase that was my 
father's, and the other articles that have lately been presented to me by my sister Harriet. This bookcase 
and those other articles have not yet been brought home except also my silver plate and my iron safe and 
four trunks necessary to hold my papers. I also give and bequeath to my said friend Cynthia Cole one good 
yoke of oxen, and one good new ox-cart, and one good one-horse waggon and gear; also three plows and plow 
gear complete for two of them; also my rockaway buggy and carry-all, and the harness used respectively 
with each; with a full understanding that no part of the said real or personal property shall ever by 
liable for any of the debts or contracts of the said Cynthia; and on the death of said Cynthia, the said 
land and slaves and their future increase, together with all the other personal property bequeathed in 
this section, shall go to the residue of my estate, and be disposed of as that is herein after disposed 
of in this my last will. The devises made in this eighteenth section of my last will for the benefit of 
my said friend Cynthia, are made with the full intention on my part, and irrevocable condition that William 
K. Cole shall never live on, or occupy any portion of the land devised in this section, or shall have 
possession or control, even for the shortest space of time, of any of the slaves or other personal property 
bequeathed in this section; it being my deliberate intent, and the design of this part of this section, to 
exclude the said William K. Cole from any benefit whatever in any portion of my estate. Now if the said 
Cynthia shall, in disregard of my wishes, and in violation of this condition, permit said William K. Cole 
to live on, or at any time to occupy any portion of said land, or have possession or control even for the 
shortest space of time, of any of the slaves or other personal property devised in this section, she shall 
thereby forfeit all claim to any benefit whatever under this eighteenth section of my last will. And on the 
land, devised in this section to my friend Cynthia Cole, I desire my North Carolina executor to pay the 
annual taxes during her life.
19.	I give and bequeath to my friend Cynthia Cole an annuity of three hundred dollars, to be paid on the 
first day of Jan'y in each year and to continue for and during the full term of her natural life; the 
said annuity to commence on the day of my death.
20.	I give and bequeath to my friend Stephen W. Covington, in trust for the purposes hereinafter mentioned, 
the following described slaves, to wit; Alexander, sometimes called Alexander Hambleton, now my miller, 
his wife Millie, and her children, Ephraim, Granville, Alfred, Laura, Charlotte, Edgar and Rosella, and 
their future increase; the said slaves to be held by the said Stephen W. Covington in trust for the purpose 
of being transported to some portion of the Dominion of Mexico, where they may be free. But if, in 
consideration of the then disturbed state of that country, or if anything in the then existing laws of 
that country to prohibit their settlement there, this cannot be done, then my said friend Stephen W. 
Covington, will endeavor to settle them in the State of Ohio, or one other of the so called free states. 
But, if any law should oppose insurmountable obstacles to the accomplishment of either of those objects, 
then he will cause these slaves to be removed to the Island of St. Domingo.
21.	I give and bequeath to my said friend Stephen W. Covington, in trust to be paid on the arrival of 
these slaves in the country where they are to settle, all doubt being removed of their being permitted 
to remain there, the sum of one thousand dollars to Alexander. I give and bequeath to my said friend 
Stephen W. Covington, in trust the further sum of five hundred dollars, to be applied by him to the 
payment of the expenses attendant on the removal of the said slaves; and if any of the said money shall 
remain after paying all the expenses of their removal, the same to be applied to increase the sum already 
directed to be paid over to Alexander. I also give and bequeath to my said friend, Stephen W. Covington 
as some compensation for the trouble he will have in accomplishing my wishes in this and the preceding 
sections, the sum of five hundred dollars.
22.	If in consequence of death, inability, or refusal to act, by my said friend, Stephen W. Covington, 
or in consequence of other insurmountable obstacles, the object contemplated in the two preceding sections 
cannot be accomplished, then those sections, twenty and twenty-one are to become as absolutely void as if 
they had never been written; and the slaves therein named, and the money therein appropriated shall go 
to the residue of my estate, and be disposed of as the residue is hereinafter disposed of in this my last
will; and, in that case, I feel that I can safely leave this matter to the consideration of my nephew 
Henry W. Harrington.
23.	I give and bequeath to my sister, Harriet H. Strong, my gold watch that was our deceased father's 
and was worn by him more than ninety years since; and also a gold ring that was our mother's wedding 
ring on her marriage with our father in the year 1776.
24.	I give and bequeath to my sister Harriet an annuity of one thousand dollars to commence at my death, 
and continue for and during the full term of her natural life. This I am sure will be better for her, and 
am persuaded will be more agreeable to her than to be encumbered with the management of a large estate.
25.	It is my will, and I hereby direct that the foregoing annuities to my sister Harriet and to my friend 
Cynthia Cole by a charge upon, and be paid out of the residue of my estate, hereafter to be disposed of by 
this my last will and testament.
26.	It is my will, and I hereby direct that Thomas Robinson of Anson County, one of my executors hereinafter 
named, do sell by himself or his lawful attorney convey without warranty, a tract of land of three hundred 
and fifteen acres, situated in Sumner County, Tennessee, the same being a part of two thousand five hundred 
and sixty acres granted by the State of North Carolina to my father Henry William Harrington;  also all 
my interest in the lands situated in Richmond County, North Carolina, commonly called the 'Speculation 
land' or 'Big survey lands', consisting of diverse tracts and parts of tracts, granted to David Allison  
about the year 1795, and that the proceeds of said sales go to and be a part of the residue of my estate 
hereinafter to be devised by this my last will and testament.
27.	I give, devise and bequeath to my nephew Henry William Harrington, of Marlboro district, in the State 
of South Carolina, and to his heirs forever, all the rest and residue of my estate, both personal and real, 
of every description whatsoever, (not herein before devised or bequeathed), including the remainder in all 
the property herein before devised and bequeathed to my friend Cynthia Cole, after the termination of her 
life estate therein, and consisting principally of about sixteen or seventeen thousand acres of land in 
diverse tracts and parts of tracts on the Pee Dee River, Solomon's Creek and Mark's Creek, and on the 
waters of White's Creek, in Richmond County, North Carolina, and on the waters of White's Creek and Marks 
Creek in Marlboro district, South Carolina, besides divers other tracts in Richmond County, North Carolina; 
also the following negro slaves, to wit: Old Phil, and his wife Yellow Sal, Blacksmith Frank, Ben, Luke, 
Zack, Daniel, Young Phil, Irwin, Jacob, Peter, Mark, Harry, Will, Joshua, Tom, Carey, Mike, Moses, Eli, 
Caleb, Joe, Elisha, Gay, little Frank, Lewis, Leander, Enoch, Stephen, Richmond, James, Nelson, Wesley, 
Seth, Levi, Scipio, Little Ben, Simeon, Little Daniel, Robert, George, little Peter, Rufus, Charles, Elias, 
Old Jenny, Old Eve, Black Sal, Grawney, Lucy, Little Lucy, Hannah, Zilphia, Black Mary, Nelly, Jude, 
Yellow Mary, Charlotte, Eliza, Phillis, Isabel and her child, Emeline, Henderson, Tamer, Nancy, Maria, 
Chloe, Lydia, Margaret, Juno, Jane, Celia, Amy, Little Mourning, Eve, Annett, Puson, Louisa, Tempe, 
Betsey, Sabra, Dolly, Matilda, Dinah, Amelia, Little Hannah, together with their increase; and if there 
be any other negro slave or slaves on my plantation belonging to me, not already bequeathed by this my 
will, I give and bequeath such slave or slaves and their increase to my said nephew, Henry William 
Harrington. As the slaves, Charlotte, Yellow Mary, Emeline, Lydia & Jane above bequeathed, have been 
my house servants, tenderly raised, and have always been kind, obedient and attentive to me, in sickness 
and in health insomuch that I feel great solicitude for their comfort and well being when I am gone, I 
commend them to my said nephew, Henry William Harrington, and trust that he will show them all the kindness 
that he may consistently with their position in life, for my sake. And I do especially commend to his favor 
the two girls Emeline & Lydia, whose devoted and ardent attachment to each other render it exceedingly 
desirable that they should be separated only by death.
28.	As soon as it may be convenient after my death, I desire my executors herein after to be named, to 
pay to Mary Lucas, who has been residing at my house for sometime past, the sum of two hundred dollars; 
and for the faithful execution of this my last will and testament, and every part and clause thereof, I 
hereby nominate and appoint my trusty friend Thomas Robinson of Anson County, N.C. my executor as to all 
that portion of my estate in N. Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas. I do nominate and appoint my trusty 
friend Dr. Thomas E. Powe, and my trusty friend Henry McIver Esq., of Chesterfield district South Carolina 
my executors to execute this my last will and testament as to all that part of my estate in the State of 
South Carolina. I also nominate, constitute and appoint my trusty friend Alex'r H. Pegues of the neighborhood 
of Oxford, Mississippi, to collect all the moneys due to me in that State and pay the same over to my 
exec's, Dr. Thomas E. Powe and Henry McIver, Esq. in South Carolina.
In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand and seal this seventh day of December in the year of our 
Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty. H. W. Harrington.  Signed, sealed and declared by Henry William 
Harrington in our presence to be his last will & testament; and in his presence and at his request we 
subscribe the same as witnesses thereto. A. McCaskill, D. Barentine, James McIntosh and James Britt.
