GRANDMA PEG LEG
SHE WAS CALLED GRANDMA PEG LEG, BECAUSE ONE OF HER LEG WAS SHORTER THAN THE OTHER. HER HUSBAND WOULD WHITTLE HER A LEG WHEN THAT ONE WORE DOWN. WHEN THE INDIANS WERE FIGHTING AGAINST THE WHITE PEOPLE,GRANDMA PEG LEG WOULD TAKE HER CHILDREN TO THE RIVER AND HIDE UNDER ROCKS TILL THE INDIANS WOULD PASS. GRANDMA PEG LEG AND HER CHILDREN, ALSO SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS WAS GATHERED UP BY THE ARMY AND TAKEN TO ST.AUGUSTINE TO THE FORT THERE FOR SAFETY. AT THAT TIME GERONIMO, THE INDIAN CHIEF WAS HELD CAPTURE. THE INDIANS HAD A DIFFICULT TIME ADAPTING TO THE FLORIDA CLIMATE TILL THEY WERE LOSING WEIGHT. GRANDMA PEG LEG TOOK CARE OF GERONIMO. WHEN IT WAS SAFE TO RETURN, THEY CAME BACK TO NASSAU COUNTY. FAMILY SAID SHE LIVE A LONG LIFE RAISING HER CHILDREN BECAUSE HER HUSBAND WAS KILLED AT A BARN RISING. A FIGHT BROKE OUT AND HE RAN TO GET HER AND WAS SLASHED ACROSS THE STOMACH WHERE LATER HE DIED OF THE KNIFE WOUND AT A YOUNG AGE. HE WAS VERY PROTECTIVE OVER HER. AFTER THE DEATH OF HER HUSBAND, HER SON-IN-LAW JOHN CARROLL TOOK OVER WHITTLING HER A NEW PEG LEG. GRANDMA PEG LEG MAY NOT HAD LIVE LONGER THAN WHAT THE DATES SHOW ON HER HEADSTONE. SOME SAY 120 YRS OLD.BUT NOT SURE. CENSUS DATES SHOW DIFFERENT (THEY ARE POSSIBLY RIGHT) THAN HER HEADSTONE. THIS WHAT FAMILY MEMBERS HAS TOLD THROUGH THE YEARS.... KAREN MATHIS HUDSON

Notes
General:
James Davis, born November 3, 1719, was the second son of Thomas Davis (b. Aug. 8, 1693, son of John and Susannah Wyatt (?) Davis, of Stafford), and his wife, Sarah Fielding (b. May 12, 1695, daughter of Edward and Hannah Fielding, of Northumberland county). Since the publication of my Fielding and Davis notes in the Virginia Magazine, Vols. XI. and XII., I have gathered a great deal more data from county, parish, and family records, and other sources, so will include herewith a connected sketch of the Fieldings. In my former notes I omitted one entire generation, and made some incorrect deductions.
James Davis owned a plantation of six hundred acres of land on "Plentiful Run," Spotsylvania county, which he called "Broadfield." In 1740 he built a story and a half brick house with dormer windows and great inside chimneys. (See illustration.) This house was burned in October, 1789, mentioned in a letter written shortly afterward to Thomas Davis by his sister, Polly, but a quaint old pen and ink drawing made in 1788 by James Davis' son, Thomas, who removed to Kentucky in that year, is yet in existence. Among the family traditions is one that the Davis children received most of their education from a tutor kept by a neighbor of the Davis's \emdash a Captain

Winslow. Thomas, the younger son of James and Mary Davis, taught school after he settled in Kentucky, and his advertisement in the Kentucky Gazette of May 31, 1788, states that he was qualified to teach "Reading, writing and Arithmetic in its various branches, bookkeeping, surveying and Navigation, geography or the use of the globes, etc." Another tradition is that, several years before his death James Davis while riding through the forest in a storm was struck on the head by a limb of a tree, knocked from his horse and dragged for some distance. When found he was paralyzed, and though he later partially recovered the use of his limbs, the accident is said to have hastened his death. He made his will February 16, 1765, probated October 1, 1765, and left to wife the home place and a hundred and thirty acres of land, and all furnishings and stock (she had received three negroes from her father) ; son James 200 acres and the home place after the death of wife; son Benjamin the remainder of his land; son John forty shil-
lings as he had given him a hundred acres of land previously; daughter Elizabeth a bed and furniture and a cow and calf; the rest of his personalty and five negroes amounting to £203 to be shared equally by his four younger children when they came of age \emdash Mary, William, Charles and Thomas.
October 17, 1770, John Davis, of Mecklenburg county, sold to brothers James and Benjamin Davis, of Spotsylvania, his share, by reversion, of four hundred acres of land on Plentiful Run "whereof their father James Davis dec'd died seized & possessed of"; which share was expectant in the death of his mother, Mary Davis, who held a life estate therein.

206. John Fielding, born January 1, 1740, removed to
Mecklenburg in 1766.
