William Batchelor Denmark, Sr.

• home.comcast.net... ;

William DENMARK [Parents] was born 1705/1708 in Hyde Co., North Carolina, Or Virginia. He died before Jun 1758 in Woodstock Town, Hyde Co., North Carolina. William married Mourning Mittom MOYE on 1730 in English Province, North Carolina Or Virginia.

It is believed that William Denmark was either born in New England or immigrated there from England around 1700. Some think that he was a son of John Denmark who was born in England in 1679. There are also those who say that his mother's maiden name was Susannah Batchelor since a Susannah Denmark, on June 7, 1748, appeared in the Hyde County court to register a mark for her cattle. Her maiden name was Batchelor, the middle name given to William Denmarks's son. William Denmark lived in Woodstock Town, Hyde County, North Carolina where he ran a blacksmith shop from 1734 to 1750.

William and his family lived at Denmark's Point in Hyde County, an area that now lies under the waters of the Pungo (once Machapungo) River. The names are known of only three of William and Mourning Denmark's children, William Batchelor, Abegail and Sarah Margaret. He died sometime before June 1758 because in deed records of that month his son, William Batchelor Denmark, is referred to as an "orphan".

A freeman by the name of William Denmark is found in 1729 in Bath Town, North Carolina witnessing a land sale. We do not know his year of birth, no record has been found. William must have been 21 or he could not have legally witnessed the sale of property under the laws of the Province of North Carolina, therefore we have given him the estimated birth date of 1706. He was an educated man as he could write his own name, even abbreviated "William" for "Wm". He became a town's blacksmith. When his son William Batchelor was born he was the blacksmith in the town of Woodstock, located in Hyde County, North Carolina (now known as Beaufort County). William died sometime between 1751-1758. His son, William Batchelor Denmark, was declared an orphan in 1758.

William Denmark, was commonly referred to as the blacksmith.
