Mr. Parker's words start here:
The loss of records through acts of war and negligence has rendered
it impossible to fully document
the nine generations after the earliest known member of the family,
old Israel Baxter(c1690-1769)
appeared in Craven County, N.C., by 1743. Old Israel Baxter(c1690-1769)
evidently lived in the western
part of the county which was cut into Johnston County when Johnston
County was formed in 1746,
because his son Theophilus appears as a private on the muster roll
of Capt. Simon Herring's company
of Col. Lewis Henry DeRosset's regiment of foot soldiers of Johnston
County, dated October 5, 1755.
This was at the time of King George's War and the regiment was raised
to curtail activities along the
North Carolina coast. In March of 1743, Old Israel Baxter(c1690-1769)
appeared before the court at New
Bern to answer a charge brought against him by one Robert Fitz-Randolph.
He lost his case when the
jury awarded the Plaintiff L44 and costs. At the next term
of court held in June, he faced a more
serious charge brought in behalf of King George ll against him and
again he lost. He moved to the
adjoining county of Pitt and there made a deed of gift to his children
Stephen, Sarah, David,
Theophilus, and Rebecca in 1763, and the next year he gave most of
the remainder of his personal
property to them. Old Israel Baxter(c1690-1769) eldest son Israel
was not named in either of the deeds,
he having already "quit the nest"some six or more years earlier and
settled on the Peedee river in
present Marlboro County, S.C. Rebecca,( daughter of Old Israel Baxter
1690-1769)the youngest, was not
named in the second deed. After Dobbs County was formed from
Johnston, Theophilus(son of Old
Israel Baxter c1690-1769) acquired over 600 acres of land on
Falling Creek, about ten miles west of
present Kingston, Lenoir County.
