THE HISTORY
of PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY VIRGINIA CHAPTER IV
A PART
OF LUNENBURG COUNTY, 1745-1752
In 1749 JOHN BOYD was given
leave to keep a ferry on Dan River; and here
in 1781 was enacted one of
the leading events of the Revolutionary War,
when General Greene and his
army escaped across the river from
Cornwallace's pursuing hosts.
....
Charles Carter and Dame Maria
Byrd, executors of the will of Colonel
William Byrd, deceased, began
in 1746 to sell his lands north and south
of Dan River, which were a
part of the Order of Council for 105,000
acres granted to Col. Byrd
in 1735. This great tract of land was called
"The Havila," and the records
of the sales fill many pages of the deed
books of Lunenburg and Halifax
Counties. Among the first purchasers were
Alexander Irvine, Hugh Lawson,
William Douglas, William Fuqua, Gideon
Smith,David Evans, JOHN BOYD,
Hugh Moore and the Echols'.
....
In 1746 James and Ralph HUNT
of Hanover, bought land in Lunchburg and
there James Hunt reared his
large family, leaving seven sons, viz.:
Charles, Nathaniel, James,
Elijah, Gilbert, John and David Hunt.
David Hunt settled in Pittsylvania
on Straightstone Creek where he built
his home after the style of
an English cottage. He married Nancy
Richardson, and died in 1826,
leaving a daughter who married GEORGE
BOYD.
