Free black (former slaves of Jonathan Arledge, I presume) living in household in between Ulissus and Butler in 1870 census:

HENRY ARLEDGE (23) b. SC

MERRIL ARLEDGE (26) b. SC

ALBERT ARLEDGE (20) b. NC

PHILIS ARLEDGE (16) b. NC

Some reports list one of his children as Mathison ARLEDGE, but this seems to be from the will of Isaac Arledge (foster father of Harriett) who lists "Greenberry Mathison" as one of Jonathan and Harriett's children. Existing evidence does not support that there was a separate child named Mathison.

Jonathan's Will was recorded in Polk County, written on 19 Aug 1875 and proved 15 Sept 1875, providing for his land, at his wife's death, to be divided between sons Isaac and John. He named son Green Berry as executor. WB 1/26 (in NC Archives now)

Involved in extended lawsuit with the Littleton Pittillo estate. See http://www.geocities.com/heartland/prairie/8208/Pittillo.html for legal records.
