THE HISTORY of PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY VIRGINIA
CHAPTER V A PART OF HALIFAX COUNTY, 1752-1767
page 5859 The domain that later was to be Pittsylvania now lay within the bounds of the great new county of Halifax, and the courthouse, after several changes, was located in the eastern part of the county. As generally happens, the place of holding court drew settlers and tradesmen, and in 1759 100 acres belonging to James Roberts, the younger, and adjoining the courthouse were laid off into a town and named Peytons-burg. The trustees appointed for the town were James Roberts, Theop-helus Lacy, Robert Wade, Jr., and Nathaniel Terry. With the establishment of the courthouse and a duly constituted town in this (Pittsylvania) section, the inhabitants ceased to be so isolated and remote from the world of affairs. For the monthly court drew lawyers and men of property from other sections, bringing a touch of the outside world; while the ubiquitous trader was present at any gathering of people. The military organization of the county was effected at the courthouse, with its attendant musters to the music of fife and drum. All this added interest and color to the life of the inhabitants. [p.58] The justices of the peace appointed for the new county were William Byrd, William Wynne, Peter Fontaine, Jr., William Irby, James Terry, Nathaniel Terry, Robert Hampton, Andrew Wade, and Sherwood Walton. In the following year Thomas Dillard Thomas Calloway, Samuel Harris,Benjamin Clement,Peter Wilson and Robert Pusey were recommended to the Governor as fit and able persons to be added to the Commission of Peace, all of whom lived in that part of the county that later became Pittsylvania. Of these first gentlemen justices of [p.59] Halifax, William Byrd and Peter Fontaine, Jr., were of Charles City County; William Irby, William Wynne, and Sherwood Walton were of southside Virginia; Nathaniel and James Terry and Benjamin Clement from King William County; Samuel Harris from Hanover County; Robert Hampton, Andrew Wade, Robert Pusey, Peter Wilson and Thomas Calloway were probably from Pennsylvania.
