About John T. Macon, Sr
John Macon, Sr. (1695-1752) was the sixth child of Gideon Macon Sr. and Martha Woodward Macon. He married Ann Hunt. He is buried at St. Peters parish, New Kent, Virginia. From this couple descend the politician Nathaniel Macon (1758-1837) for whom various towns and counties were named. Among other things, he had no use for the U.S. Constitution. He was a second cousin, six times removed from the present descendants of Lucy Macon David. From John Macon, Sr. also descends Joseph Seawell Jones (1806-1855), who was a politician, historian and author of several books. Another descendant was John T. Macon (1755-1829). As a delegate to the North Carolina state convention he voted in 1789 to reject the U.S.
John was born in New Kent County, Virginia. He was born on his father’s plantation, Mount Prospect. He died on his own 400 acre plantation in Goochland County, Virginia.
John received in 1729, a Royal Patent for 400 acres of land in Goochland County, Virginia.
He married Ann Hunt on Dec 17, 1715. Ann was born in 1686 in Surry County, Va. She was the daughter of Robert Hunt and Mary Minge. She died Feb. 15, 1725, in childbirth having her daughter, Mary. She was 39 years old. I have not found John’s second wife as yet, but he probably remarried, because he was only 41 years old when his wife, Ann died.
John and Ann had the following children.
Gideon Hunt. Born 1720 in Virginia. Died Dec. 20, 1761 in Granville Co. North Carolina. He married Priscilla Jones in 1744 .
Ann Hunt. Born 1717 in Va. I have no information on her.
John Jr. Born 1718 in Va.. He died about 1785 in Randolph County, No. Carol. I do not have a wife for him. However, he had at least 4 children between 1753 and 1758. Gideon Thomas, John III, James, and William. James and William were in the troops from North Carolina in the Continental army. “Accts. Payable to the No. Carol. Troops in the Continental army, 1793, (Vol. 17, pages 184 to 263) #5632, James Macon, amt. of 19 pounds, s5, d8,”do”, #2631, William Macon, amt. of 19 pounds, s5, d8, “do”.” William. Born 1719 in Va. Died in 1796 in Cumberland Co. Virginia. No information on him. I have heard, he may have been another William Hartwell Macon.(?)
Henry. Born 1721 in Va. Died about 1795 in Cumberland County, Va. He married Rebecca Mayo. His second wife was Francis Netherland Carlyle. He was a Vestryman at Southern Parish, Cumberland Co. 1745-1792. He opened “Macon's Tavern” in 1753, in Powhatan Co. Virginia. Now called Macon in Powhatan Co. A portion of the Tavern is still standing and well preserved at the Southwest intersection of Giles Bridge Road, Route 609 and Route 13. The winding staircase is unusual because of it's latticework. The basement has exposed timbers and a extra large fireplace with the chimney block extra large, even for the period when it was built. There is a carved recess where a barrel of Whiskey was stored when it was still a Tavern. Also, this Henry was the son of John, not William, as some people say, because of a family Bible. There have been three wills for this family found that prove that he is the son of John. Please see the essay, “The Two Henrys And The Wife Rebecca Mayo” on this blog. William's son, Henry was born in 1727, and went to South Carolina with his brother Hartwell, they are both on the census there in 1790 as heads of households. (The other Henry.)
Francis. Born in Va. Died in 1785 in Cumberland Co. Va. She married Daniel Pegram.
Mary. Born 1725 in Va. Her mother, Ann Hunt, died giving birth to her. Mary was married in 1750 to Benjamin Pendleton.
