Brown Creek, Nancy's dower from D. Allen Isaac Sullivant
was born around 1770 according to census records and the
testimony found in Gardner High's Revolutionary War pension
records. In his testimony dated 1838, Isaac certified that
he was present when Gardner High and Rachel Gibbs went to
the church to get married in Brunswick Co., Virginia at the
start of the Revolutionary War.
The first official record of Isaac in Halifax County is
found in the book Halifax County North Carolina Court
Minutes: Volume II:1796-1797 , Abstracted by Stephen E.
Bradley, Jr. in Para. 837, pg. 71, May Court 1797, where
Isaac was the administrator of the estate of James Merritt
with Robert Brantley and Thomas Gayner as securitys.
Isaac was married to Euridice Merritt, daughter of Richard
and Sarah Merritt of Halifax County. From the census data
available on his children, he was probably married around
1790 although there have been no marriage records found.
Isaac is first mentioned as a brother-in-law in a will left
by Ephriam Merritt in Halifax County in 1801. From the deed
evidence in both Halifax and Anson Counties, North
Carolina, Isaac appears to have moved from Halifax Co. to
Anson Co. in the period between 1807 and 1817 . In an 1817
Halifax Deed, he is listed as a resident of Anson County.
He is also listed in the Anson County 1810 census.
