Recorded: October 20,. 1806

1820 Census. Pittsylvania Co VA. Robert Walters, Senr. 1m and 1f over age 45 - no doubt Robert & Seletha. They must have a grown and married child living them because there is also a man and a woman age 26-45 and a boy under age 10 in the household.

1830 Census. Pittsylvania Co VA. Robt Walters Senr. One male age 70-80. No females in household; apparently wife deceased.

ROBERT WALTERS and SELETHA MCBEE were married about 1770 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. SELETHA MCBEE4, daughter of WILLIAM MCBEE and ABIGAIL ?HUBBARD, was born on 10 October 1751 in Halifax County, Virginia. She died before 1830 at the age of 79 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia.24

[Have also seen her name as Selethia and Leithia and "Letty"; surname as Magby.]

Although Seletha appears as a daughter in every family tree - I have not found the absolute proof that she belongs here. She certainly did not leave Virginia and go to Tennessee, but then she was already married. Her age, and ages of her children, would indicate she couldn't have been the daughter of any of William McBee "Jr"'s brothers - she was older. Unfortunately no marriage record has been found for Seletha and Robert Walters - but then they haven't been found for several of her siblings. The source of her exact birthdate as often found, can also not be certified by any known document, but again, it must be close, considering ages of her children. And even if William McBee "Jr" was her father, that would not assure that Abigail was her mother. The given name Seletha, or forms thereof, does get handed down in this line of the family - I have not found the name Abigail used again in Seletha's line, but then I don't have the names of many of the grandchildren.

It is possible that the birth of Seletha and a death as Feb of 1834 came from the writings of Earl Quintrell, said to be at the Tennessee Archives. His wife was a McBee descendant. Seletha did not appear to be in the 1830 census with her husband.

ROBERT WALTERS and SELETHA MCBEE had the following children:

Robert Walters and Seletha McBee. For many years, I carried Robert's name with the middle initial "C"; however, after much research I was never able to prove that his middle initial was "C". Hopefully you might be able to help me here.

Robert Walters was born in Lunenburg County, Virginia, and died February 28, 1834, in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. He married Seletha McBee about 1771 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, daughter of William McBee and Abigail (?) McBee. She was born October 10, 1751, in Halifax County, Virginia, and died in 1834, in Pittsylvania County, Virginia.

Children of Robert Walters and Selethia McBee:

Betsy Walters, married John Slayden, December 16, 1799, in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Her father, Robert Walters, gave permission.

Lavinia Walters, died after 1837; married Samuel Pruitt, Jr., December 26, 1788, Pittsylvania County, Virginia; married John Dodson, December 29, 1806.

Selethia Walters, died after 1837; married Noel Waddill, November 13, 1817. Her father, Robert Walters, gave permission.

Archibald Walters, born about 1768; died after 1835; married Catherine Stamps, October 16, 1798, Pittsylvania Countyu, Virginia; married Elizabeth Richards, after 1798. At the time of Elizabeth's marriage to Archibald Walters, she was the former wife of a man named "Rice".

Jackson Walters, born October 7, 1772, Pittsylvania County, Virginia; married Elizabeth Harrid, about 1793; she died May 16, 1803; married Polly West Herring, August 27, 1803, Pittsylvania County, Virginia; they were married by Rev. John Atkinson; surity was by Thomas Walters and William Herring; she died December 11, 1808; married Tabitha Thomas, March 10, 1849, Warren County, Kentucky.

Robert Wister Walters, born December 7, 1775, Pittsylvania County, Virginia; married Elizabeth Bates Atkinson, January 21, 1813, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Permission to marry was given by Elizabeth Atkinson's father on January 16, 1813. Elizabeth Atkinson's will was written on December 13, 1860.

Laban Walters, born 1779; died after 1850, Williamson County, Tennessee; married Nancy Chaney, August 8, 1803.

Thomas Walters, born about 1785; married Betsy Tanner, December 9, 1805, Pittsylvania County, Virginia

I have corresponded with a lady in Longview, Gregg County, Texas, who is a relative of William H. Walters. I don't know if this is the William Walters of whom you speak, but we have tried, and are trying, to connect this family to my Walters' line; and, to date, we have been unable to do so.

It is known that Archibald was at this time married to Edith "Edy" Slayton; Clement was living in GA so Robert signed for him; then Abraham served as a witness.] Clement is on a tax list in Pittsylvania Co in 1785, next to his brother Robert. He was likely at least age 21, or born by 1764. He usually is placed as one of the younger sons, but I believe this was not so. Clement Walters' uncle Robert Walters and several of his grown sons also moved to Georgia. Robert and family came in the 1790's and settled primarily in Franklin Co. Old maps show Franklin to have been quite large, encompassing part of South Carolina. A note found in a mail group states that some of his Warmack family deeds start out with the phrase "thought to be in Habersham Co but on survey found to be in Franklin" indicating some confusion about county lines. Franklin Co GA Tax list of 1798 includes Clement Walters. Clement Walters of Franklin Co GA was entitled to two draws in the 1805 Lottery, but drew two blanks; he drew land in 1832 in the Cherokee Land Lottery as a Revolutionary Soldier. [Some references state that he was in the War of 1812 - I believe it may have been the Revolution instead. Only an oath was required of Revolutionary soldiers for the 1832 Lottery. They received a draw even if they had been successful drawers previously.] I have checked books on the 1832 Lottery and can find only these: Charles Waters, 2 draws Charles Waters, Sol Late War 1 draw John B.

[Charles was also a son of Elijah; Abraham L., Charles's son.] [Waters and Walters often confused. The possibility exists that there really was a Waters family also living in Habersham. The 1820 census indicates at least four males in the houshold of Clement that could be adults by 1830. John R. and Obediah, could fall into this category. A William Walters was also named along with Obadiah as Executors of Clement's Will. The widow Eleanor is a mystery.] A John R. Walters married Asenith Higgins on 29 Aug of 1823 in Habersham Co GA another marriages found in Habersham records book: Jeremiah Sammons to Lucinda Waters 21 Dec 1828 [she was a daughter of Charles Walters.] HABERSHAM CO GA MARRIAGES 1819-1850; GenealogyLibrary.com Sebastian Walters married Phoebe Sosebee 27 Dec 1832 Andrew Roe married Margaret Waters on 29 Dec 1836 Adolphus M. Strain married Mary Waters on 25 Jul 1839 These last two must be the young daughters from Clement's Will. A Habersham Co mail group had a post concerning a Lucy Waters who married James Colley and lived in Habersham County. Clement's mother was of couse named Lucy.. In 1840 there was a William Waters living in Habersham, no others of similar name. He was still there on p.256b of the 1850 Census: William Waters age 55, born in GA. His family had only initials. N. A. age 45, female, born in SC. The following young men: G. W. age 16, C. V. W. age 11, and D. W. age 8. Since he was named as one of the Executors of Clement's will, I feel sure he was a son, born about 1795. Will dated 30 Aug 1835, Habersham Co, and proved by Benjamin C. Wyly, Obadiah and William Walters, Executors. Wife Rachel. Children Martha, Mary Ann. [Clement definitely had sons - see the 1820 census. Maybe he had already given to the older children and named only the children by Rachel in his will. Or maybe the original will would provide more information.] Here is a full transcript of the will which does show that Clement married twice and had other children. It also represents several spellings of the surname - Clement was illiterate so chances are good he didn't know how to spell his name and many other members of this family became Waters rather than Walters over time. The fact that it is very easy to cross both the L and the T has made the name difficult to interpret in handwritten documents.

Carter DCCO The children of Clement shown here or for the most part unproved and speculative based on some of the records as well as online data. I have no clues as to when the first wife died and Clement Walters remarried so cannot venture a guess beyond the fact that it's likely the two young daughters were Rachel's and very possibly the only children of Rachel when he wrote his will in 1835. He did specify that money be divided among his first wife's children and made no other bequests except to the two youngest daughters.

Notes:

William Walters, brother of John migrated from Tennessee to Alabama to Illinois;
William Walters (son of Thomas Walters, brother of John) was born April 15, 1787 in Jefferson County, TN, and died September 16, 1877 in Fulton County, Farmers Township-close to Lewiston, Ill..
Includes Notes for William Walters:
[Hysel-Matheis Genealogy.GED]
William Walters, in 1822, loaded his wife and two children in a Kub Boat in Alabama, and made his way to Illinois by way of the rivers, and landed in Sangamon Co., where he remained one year, and then removed to Fulton County.We frequently speak of old settlers being well known in the early history of this county, but Mr. Walters was known nearly all over the state and none knew him but to love him.
When he first landed in Illinois, he had one bed(straw), a rifle and .25 cents in money.The first horse he owned he mauled rails to pay for and this horse was killed by over-riding by a negro who took it without the knowledge of Mr. Walters.
Before his death, his property was valued at $10,000.He was a very strong man both mentally and physically and was called jokingly Paul Bunyan.He was born May 1788 in Jefferson Co., Tennessee. He was a soldier in the War of 1812 serving under General Jackson and consequently was a pensioner up to his death, which occurred September 16, 1877. He also fought in the Black Hawk War.I understand that in Lewiston, Ill. the D.A.R. is named after his father Thomas Walters.
William Walters bought the area, now Bernadotte Township, from the Pottawotamie Indians in exchange for an armful of fur pelts.The Indians atfirst were friendly then they put a price upon his head because of the land deal. We have a copy of the painting of William Walters trading with the Indians,(Jack L. Hysel).This picture was in the Lewiston, Il post office for years and nobody seems to know where it went. It is a very famous picture.
They have the following children:
Sarah Reneau Walters b. Dec. 7, 1790
George Walters b. March 9, 1795
Thomas J. b. Oct. 5, 1805-married Elizabeth Barker
John Walters b. April 5, 1808
Daniel Walters b. October 14, 1827
Among the mountains of Tennessee William Walters developed the physical strength and mental courage essential to successful pioneering.Through his veins flowed Scottish-German ancestors and on the maternal side his people were vigorous patriots during the Revolutionary War.His mother not only had carried on the work of the farm during her husband's absence, but she had carried supplies to the soldiers of the Continental Army, often wading through ice-clogged streams up to her waist upon her mission of mercy.William was a man of remarkable physical prowess and all through his life was wont to astonish observers by his feats of daring.It is recorded of him that he could take a two-bushel sack of wheat in his teeth and throw it ten feet and he at one time shot a deer across Spoon Creek, waded the ice-bound stream and swam back again, carrying the deer by the ear with his teeth.He was an unerring shot and there was plenty for him to shoot in those days.He knew much of military tactics, as he had served in the War of 1812 and subsequently was a soldier in the Black Hawk War.There were but twelve voters in what is now Fulton County at the time of his arrival, but there were plenty of Pottawatomie Indians, the majority of whom were peaceable inclined.There were bad Indians to be disciplined also and Mr. Walters use toalwayscarry his gun when he went to feed his stock.When it became known that he had been in the Black Hawk War the Indians of his neighborhood offered a hundred bucksins for his scalp and it is believed that a number of seekers after this prize met death at the hands of the able cracksman.Always on the lookout for danger from Indians or wild beasts, he became remarkably cleer of vision and quick of motion.About 1834 Mr. Walters sold his Bernadote farm for $400.00 and a horse and moved to Farmers Township, where the old soldier and pioneer passed his last days, his life milestones piling up until he reach ninetyyears, his death occurring in 1877.His wife preceded him in 1852.

Mary married Barton Terry, Jr. 4 Feb 1805, Pittsylvania Co., Virginia. Barton (son of Barton Terry and Mrs. Barton, Susannah Terry) was born 1780, Pittsylvania County, Virginia; died 1822, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Family research from a Manuscript titled "Genealogical Records of Richardsons and Waddills of Virginia and Kentucky" written by Mrs. Stacy [Pocahontas Hewell Hutchinson] in 1939 has information passed along from letters written in 1902 by Mrs. Mary Waddill of Woodville, McCracken Co KY. She is said to have been a great aunt of Mrs. Stacy and was 88 years old at the time the letters were written. Mary's father was Charles Waddell of Pittsylvania Co VA, son of a Noel Waddill. She gives a birth date of 28 Jan 1797 for Noel and a birth date for his father Charles as 9 Jan 1775.
