Creech
Family History" gathered over the years and put
together by my uncle, James M. Creech. The
researcher must understand that his original
document was not on a word processor and was
scanned to get this version. There are some
mistakes with dates, etc. resulting from this;
but still should be helpful with
researchers. Ken
Creech.
This little history does not presume to be
exhaustive nor complete in fact no history is ever complete. It
simply attempts to shed a little light on a subject that will be
of interest to only our family. The CREECH family is quiet an old
one and dates back to 1204 AD in Scotland. The line most concerned
with here though is Benjamin Creech, Sr. and his kin for he was
the one that moved from Virginia to North Carolina married settled
on a farm reared his family whose sons and grandsons became our
ancestral grandparents. It was the unfinished family legend of
Benjamin and his kin and his migration to old Johnston County N.C.
that led to this research and writing. With each generation since
Benjamin the details become fewer and fewer the old cemeteries
become smaller and smaller and overgrown with trees briars and
bushes. The family names are still the same but the little stories
important only to our family which makes the history of any family
lost a little at a time. The time has come for someone to record
what is known to this point so that the CREECH descendants will
know a little about their ancestral lines. Other ancestral lines
in the same generation as Benjamin Creech Sr. are probably just as
interesting but a constant thread through the generations from a
log bin with a stick chimney in old Johnston County N.C. to the
brick house with the modern conveniences of present day Greene
County N.C. has witnessed the Life and death from Benjamin Creech
Sr. to William Franklin Creech and led to the interest in their
lives. This history is written primarily for the
cousins and all the children and ....grandchildren children of
William Vicey and Maggie ("Papa Creech Mama Vicey and Mama
Creech"). It is hoped that with each descendant's personal story
added to the end this little book will serve as a family history
for many generations to come.
The members of the Creech family in general
have always been an industrious people and as a rule are generous
kind and mainly a sensible people. The average stature of the
Creech male is a height of five feet 5 inches to five feet 10
inches; Not many exceed six feet and in weight they are medium in
size; mostly from 150 to 190 pounds. Of course there are
exceptions as to height and weight. The Creech female is mostly
also on the medium size and height; not many are large and fat;
but have a tentative to be on the slim or frail side. The Creech
features are nearly all the same and are noted as having deep set
blue eyes; light brown hair; light to fair complexion; do not gray
fast but has thin hair; a few are ball but not pronounced as such.
Members of the Creech family were bitter against slavery and in
all of my research in the twenty years I have found where 1 Creech
in Duplin County North Carolina had one slave. Also in all of my
research I have found three black families bearing the name
Creech; one in Lenoir County N.C.; one in the state of South
Carolina; and one in the state of Louisiana. Why did the Creech
family have no slaves? It was not because they could not afford
them. Why Sion Sr. of Texas and Louisiana had over 200000 acres of
land (Sion sold a slave in La. according to documents see later
this book); Richard Creech of Barnwell South Carolina had a
several thousand acre plantation; Joshua Creech Sr. of Johnston
County North Carolina owned hundreds of acres; John Jonathan and
Elijah Creech in Harlan County Ky. and Lee County Virginia had
great amounts of land; Ezekiel and Benjamin Creech Jr. over in old
Dobbs County North Carolina had so many land transactions that one
may think them real estate dealers. Joshua and Ezekiel Creech
along with Simon Creech in Duplin were large landowners. So it
could not have been the wealth or land. It is with certainty that
the Creech family did not own slaves because they at one time were
slaves themselves. Having lived in Scotland (a few in England)
were under the Britons and that is why they me to America; to
escape slavery & persecution If you will note in this family
history of the Creech family you will find as many of them as any
other family that I have ever me across serving for the use; the
independence of their country. Whether it was the Revolutionary
War the Civil War or the World Wars; the Creech family served
their country well. Also you note that a great many bore Biblical
names. Benjamin Creech Sr. had 9 children and named 8 of them
biblical names and one a family name. He raised 6 sons to manhood
and all served in the Revolution. Genealogy or getting a record of your family
tree is a matter of tracing yourself back to your roots. "Fate
makes relatives but choice makes friends." YOUR NAME - You got it
from your father it was all he had to give so it's yours to use
and cherish for as long as you may live. If you lose the watch he
gave you it could always be replaced but a black mark on your name
son n never be erased. It was clean the day you took it and a
worthy name to bear when he got it from his father. There was no
dishonor then - so make sure you guard it wisely after all is said
and done you'll be glad the name is spotless when you give it to
your son." Every family ought to be blessed with someone
who keeps names and relationships recorded. Some people may think
it silly foolish stupid or just a waste of time to keep up with
their family lineage. They need only to read from our Holy Bible
Chronicles I. Here we see some of the oldest genealogy of time.
Here we see Noah's family lineage back to Adam and on down to King
David who went into the presence of the Lord and took his place
there and said "What am I Lord God and what is my family that thou
hast brought me thus far." It was so with the family of Israel and
Judah. The Chronicler believed that it was important to keep a
record of who was who. He recorded genealogies and traced certain
vocational bloodlines to remind us that history is a personal
affair. God's acts in history are set in personal terms real
people with names. God wants us to keep up with our family trees
and know who we are and whence we me. The families of any history is like a coral
reef it is not compiled by any one person but by many numerous
individuals over the generations who have contributed information
and data from time to time about their respective lines. I often
heard the laughter and jokes from my friends and kinsmen when I
often paused to read alone the simple messages on the tombs in the
silent city of the dead. Here we find plenty of unmarked graves
that at one time someone or loved one knew who was buried here but
not any more. It seems so sad to know that as much as this person
was loved at one time that they should or could be forgotten and
not knowing who is buried in these silent graves. Gravestones are
not made for the dead but for the living and the generations to
come. Can we of a civilization that is supposed to be educated
forget so easy the ones we love? Even the savage Indian of the New
World had more re and compassion than this. As I have worked on
this family history I have traveled the great highways and the
unfrequented traveled roads of the backcountry districts. I have
seen well kept cemeteries; cemeteries that have trees grown into
large saw logs; cemeteries with the tombstones piles in a small
section of the cemetery in the center getting smaller each year as
the farmer needs that extra little land; cemeteries that have been
plowed over and the stones used as ornaments of some type;
cemeteries used as pig-pens and cow lots or bull-dozed away. I
have seen life in every phase and viewed these members of our
Creech family in many walks of life. This history has led me into
many counties of North Carolina as well as many other states.
These typical records in arrangement and phraseology expressing in
most cases the simple faith of the Creech Family a people natured
in the religious ideals and patriotism that n come only to the
Scotch-Irish and English fore bearers. The Creech family played a large part in the
settlement of what now are Greene Lenoir Wayne Duplin Johnston
Columbus Robeson and New Hanover counties of North Carolina and
other states of South Carolina Georgia Alabama Louisiana Texas
Virginia Tennessee Kentucky and others. They me mostly from
southern Virginia and the motherland to a vast wildness where the
Indians were still in their wigwams and had their campfires. They
carved a living out of this great wildness and fought for a use
they believed to be right; that all man should be free and
independent. Some of the Creech family had large plantations and
large acreage while others had small homesteads but each played
his or her part well. They were from all occupations and
professions but they mostly loved the soil and were
farmers. The men and women of this great Creech family
me to America when it was so young left home ties far behind in
order to make a new home for themselves and their children and
grandchildren. They braved dangers, endured hardships, suffered
the worst privations and lived under the most primitive
conditions. Picture the humble daily life and habit of these
ancestors and pioneers who first settled in old Johnston New
Hanover Duplin and the Virginia counties; also the ones who went
to the rugged mountains of Lee County Va. and Harlan County
Ky. In bins of rough-hewn timber they lived loved
and worshipped the God of their father. He met the kindly speech
the gentle love and affection of parents and the quiet thoughtful
children lending helping hands to se the burdens of their elders.
Like setting forth to discover and uncover a River of Doubt I the
author began a score of years ago to assemble the endless task to
compile this Creech family history. The task has been a long one
and wearisome but the thought was uppermost in our most humble way
to produce that will add to this land of ours giving to our fellow
citizens and kinsmen a look that we hope will aid them in tracing
their ancestors. It is with particular mingled emotion and
memories that I now contemplate my endeavors to serve my Creech
family in this undertaking. It is an honor and a privilege to be a
meek descendant of this great family and to share in their ideals
and undertakings. I say this with pride; so 1st it be known that
this great family heritage shall not be forgotten. James Milton Creech - author -
1972-1980 Origin From The Origin of English Place Names - By P.
H. Reaney Publishers - Routledge and Kegan Paul London.
England "The Celtic Element" - Certain of the most
familiar English place-names were well known on the continent long
before the first Saxon invaders set foot on these shores and must
therefore be pre-English in origin. "British Names of Hills and Woods" - Many
surviving names of British origin were originally names of natural
features of rivers hills and forests which had already been
adopted by the Anglo-Saxons and were afterwards given to the
villages which grew up in the neighborhood. Only exceptionally and
in the parts settled later were they inhabited by Britons. Among
the most common British or Primitive Welsh elements found in such
names are: "late Brit 'crugo -'hill mound barrow" in CREECH
(Dorsetshire Somerset) CRICH (Derbyshire) CROOK (Devonshire
Dorsetshire) CRUTCH (Worcestershire) in compounds with British
elements as EVERCREECH (Somerset) 'Yewt' PENKRIDGE (Staffordshire)
Romano-British Pennocrucium "hill summit" and with Old English
elements in Christon (Somerset) CRUCHESTON 1197 CRUCHFIELD
(Berkshire) CREWKERNE (Somerset) "hill-house" and in the
tautologil CHURCHILL (Somerset) (Worcestershire) and CRICHEL
(Dorsetshire) with the addition of Old English hyll. "Bilingual Britons and Monoglot Saxons" -
During the Roman occupation the British population was nowhere
completely exterminated though it survived more fully in some
areas than in others. Brittonic was still spoken in Somerset and
Dorset at the end of the seventh century for "CREECH BARROW HILL
(Dorsetshire). The hill from which CREECH ST. MICHAEL took its
name is described in a charter of 682 as "the hill which is called
in the British language CRUCTAN but among us (i.e. the Saxons)
CRYCBEORH. From "The Surnames of Scotland" - By
Black "CREECH" - From CREICH in Fifeshire (a
place-hill) where a family of this name rented land several
generations. "The parish of CREICH in the northern part of
Fifeshire contains the remains of an ancient castle but there is
no trace of any family bearing the name occupying the lands"

620) appears in 1403 as councilor of the Cearl of Atholl (CSR I
page 180). Master Richard CRETCHE of Scotland who had a safe
conduct into England in 1423 (Bain IV 935) is probably Richard de
CREICH who was rector of the church of Croile (Crail) in the
diocese of St. Andrew in 1429 (RMS II page 137) Andrew CREICH is
recorded in Dunfermline in 1585. John CREYCH was a merchant in
Leith 1544 (Rollok page 36) Issobella CREICH and Janeta CREICH
were heirs portioners of Robert CREICH avus in a house in the
burgh of Newburgh and regality of Lundoris in 1611. William CREECH
(1745-1815) published the first Edinburgh edition of the "Poems of
Burns". All these lived between 1204 and 1815. The name is also
spelled CRAICH and CRAIGH. Know Your Name - By J.C. Downing - The News
& Observer May 8, 1966 This is a place name in both England and
Scotland and is from the old British CRUC or Old Welsh CRUG
meaning "hill". There are hamlets in Dorset and Somersetshire
England by this name that were spelled CRIZ and CRIC in the
Doomsday Book of 1086. There is a parish in Derbyshire by the same
name. Whether the following Englishmen once lived at
either of these places or on a Hill will probably never be known:
John Ate (at) CRECHE of Sussex Robert CRECHE of Suffolk. Peter De
(of) CRYCE of Somersetshire and Robert De CRICHE of Nottingham all
lived in 1326. Jane CREECH, died 1665, is buried in St. James
Churchyard in London. From the "Dictionary of English and Welsh

it was found that they were of Fifeshire and owed their allegiance
to and gained protection by the MAC-DUFFS: thus many wore the
MacDuff tartan. "The MacDuffs were an important clan as early
as the 12th century and claim descent from the Celtic Earl of
Fife. According to tradition the first Earl was the MacDuff who
helped to overthrow MacBeth and put Malcolm Canmore on the throne
of Scotland. In return the MacDuff chiefs were given the right to
enthrone the King of Scots at his coronation to lead Scotland's
army and to seek sanctuary at the Cross of MacDuff near
Newburgh." Thomas CREECH (Krech) born 1659 died 1700. He
was born at Blandford, Dorsetshire England and committed suicide
in June 1700. He was an English writer, translator of Lucretuis
(1682) and other classical authors. William CREECH was born 1745 at Newbattle
Midlothian Scotland on April 21st. He died at Edinburgh on Jan. 14
1815 and was a Scottish essayist and letter writer publisher of
Burns Educated, Edinburgh University. He went into business with a
Scottish printer, Alexander Kincaid, becoming after Kincaid's
retirement in 1773, the head of the firm, which is noted as the
first publisher of the works of Beattie, Blair, Cullen, and
Gregory, Dugald, Stewart MacKenzie and of Burns with whom he later
quarreled. Creech was lord provost of Edinburg from Oct. 1811 to
Oct. 1813 and a fellow of the Royal Society and the Antiquarian
Society. He is Absence of William CREECH, Publisher in 1787. His
essays, contributed under his pseudonym to the Edinburg Courant,
were published from 1791 to 1815 as Fugitive Pieces. Members of the Creech family were in England
and Scotland as early as 1197 and 1204 respectively. In searching
for the CREECH CLAN in Scotland it was found that they were of
Fifeshire and owed their allegiance to and gained protection by
the MACDUFFS - thus many wore the MacDuff tartan.(see other
pages) Richard Creech the emigrant was the first of
the name to come America. He left the Highlands of Scotland and
sailed the Atlantic aboard the ship "Journeyman" with Captain
William Carter in the year 1622. He arrived in the spring of 1623
with his wife and son Henry son Nicholas and baby girl. The
Richard Creech family settled in the "Maine" which was at the time
located in James City County Virginia. James City County is
located north of Surry and Isle of Wight Counties in Virginia. On
Feb. 16th 1623 Richard Crouch (Creech) was shown on the list of
the living in the "Maine" in Virginia. Richard Creech married a
lady by the name of Beale; her first name could have been Frances
as son Henry named his only daughter this name which was very
common in that day for a son to name a daughter after his mother
and more so due to the circumstances. Richard's wife was the
daughter of Robert Beale Sr. and wife Mary Belt the granddaughter
of Daniel Belt and wife Elizabeth Bell (the daughter of Robert
Bell). The will of Robert Bell was written Jan. 16, 1656 and
proved Feb. 16, 1656. Bell was a citizen and skinner of London he
was buried in Parish Church of St. John Baptist in London near his
wife. As to the number of children Richard and Frances had is not
known; as the story goes Richard Creech his wife and all his
family except two sons Henry and Nicholas were killed by the
Indians in one of their massacre raids 1630 along the James River.
A good number of these early settlers were killed by the Indians
and I guess Richard Creech and wife were no exceptions. The
brother of Frances Beale Creech John Beale Sr. raised the two sons
who were away from the house as the Indians struck down the
family. As to Nicholas Creech not much is known about him. He was
born about 1619 and was shown in Lower Norfolk County Virginia in
the year 1640 age 21 years; so it is presumed he died at an early
age in that county. Later Of Henry Creech. Captain Henry Creech Sr. was born about 1621
in the Highlands of Scotland; he died in old Albemarle County
North Carolina about the year 1709 at the age of 88 years old. The
title Captain was given him as he was the Captain of a ship
"Nancy" which sailed the Albemarle Sound and other points along
the American coast. He came to America with his father and family
in the year 1622 aboard the ship "Journeyman" with Captain William
Carter as Captam. The family settled in "The Maine" in Va. where
the Indians killed the family in the year 1630 while they were on
one of their raids along the James River. Henry and Nicholas
Creech escaped the massacre as they were away from the house at
the time working in the fields. These two brothers were raised by
the brother of their mother John Beale Sr. Henry Creech married
about the year 1653. Joyce Paine born 1633 and died about 1712 was
the daughter of Benjamin Paine of Lower Norfolk County Va. Henry
bought 200 acres of land in Lower Norfolk County, Va. on April 20
1682 - escheated from John Lownes deceased. One must remember that
up until 1663 old Albemarle County, N.C. was called Lower Norfolk
County Va. which extended as far down as the location of New Bern.
N.C. Henry Creech had settled on the northeast side of the
Pasquotank River in old Albemarle County, N.C. on Areanoos Creek.
Here he received a land grant of 490 acres of land on March 30,
1704 which was adjoining the lands of the Yawpins Indians
Reservation of 10240 acres located on North River which the
Indians received Oct. 2, 1704. North River is on the north side of
Albemarle Sound opposite from Durant's Neck on the south side.
Durant's Neck was the home of the famous George Durant who played
an important part in the infant colony of Carolina. Henry Creech,
Sr. was a Justice of Peace in the new colony from 1691 to 1698 and
signed several documents bearing these dates. He wrote his will
August 16, 1709 with his wife Joyce the Exec. To receive land
grants or patents a person had to prove his rights with a warrant
issued. In the year 1694 Henry Creech wife Joyce Benjamin Paine
father-in-law Thomas Harrison (brother-in-law) and his wife
Elizabeth and daughter Elizabeth Harrison proved their rights in
Albemarle County, N.C. Henry Creech and wife Joyce had issue of:
Henry Jr. Frances Thomas Sr. William and Richard Creech. (Of
Richard Creech later). First to America Richard Creech was the first of the name to
come to America. He left the Highlands of Scotland and arrived in
Virginia before 1623. He was brought to America by Captain William
Carter and settled in the "Maine" which was at the time located in
James City County Virginia. James City County is north of Surry
and Isle of Wight Counties in Virginia. On Feb. 16, 1623 Richard
Crouch (Creech) was shown on the list of the living in Virginia In
the "Maine" Richard Creech married a lady by the name of Beale the
daughter of Robert Beale Sr. and wife Mary Belt the daughter of
Daniel Belt and wife Elizabeth Bell who was the daughter of Robert
Bell. The will of Robert Bell was written Jan. 16, 1656 and proved
Feb.16, 1656; Bell was a citizen and skinner of London. He was
buried in parish church of St. John Baptist London near his wife.
As to how many children Richard Creech had we do not know but we
do know that there were two sons. The story goes that Richard
Creech and wife had three children. These children were born just
before coming to America. It seems that Richard Creech his wife
and one child a daughter were killed by Indians. The two young
sons were away from the house at the time that their family was
destroyed. It is a good guess that this story is true due to the
fact that we see no more data on this Richard Creech anywhere. A
good number of these early settlers were killed by the Indians and
I guess Richard Creech and wife were no exceptions. The brother of
Richard Creech's wife John Beale Sr. raised the two sons of his
sister's and Richard Creech. These two sons were Henry Creech and
Nicholas Creech. September 25,1749 - The ship "Speedwell" -

1709) Captain Henry Creech Sr. was born 1621 in the
Highlands of Scotland. He died in old Albemarle County North
Carolina about the year 1709 at the age of 88 years old. The
Captain was given him as he was that Captain of a ship "Nancy" and
the Nancy sailed the Albemarle Sound and other points along the
American coast It is not known if she sailed the Atlantic. Henry
Creech came to America with his father and family (mother,
brother) in the year 1622 aboard the ship "Journeyman" the Captain
was William Carter. His father Richard Creech his mother and small
sister were killed by the Indians in one of their massacres on the
settlements of the "Maine" in Virginia in 1630. His Uncle John
Beale Sr. the brother of his mother raised him along with his
brother Nicholas Creech. He married about the year 1653 Joyce
Paine born 1633 died 1712 the daughter of Benjamin Paine of Lower
Norfolk County Virginia. He bought 200 acres of land in Lower
Norfolk County Va. on April 20 1642- escheated from John Lownes
deceased. Henry Creech never left old Lower County Va. One must
remember that at this time Lower Norfolk Co. Virginia was the very
same territory that was to become Albemarle County, N.C. Lower
Norfolk County Virginia extended down as far as New Bern N.C. He
had settled on the northeast side of Pasquotank River in what was
to become Albemarle County N.C. on Areanoos Creek. Here he
received a land grant of 490 acres of Land on March 30, 1704 and
this grant was adjoining the lands of the Yawpins Indian
Reservation of 10,240 acres located on North River which was given
to the Indians Oct. 2, 1704. North River is on the north side of
Albemarle Sound opposite from Durant's Neck on the south side.
Durant's Neck was the home of the famous George Durant who played
an important part in the infant colony of Carolina. Henry Creech
Sr. was a Justice of Peace in the new colony from 1691 to 1698 and
signed several documents bearing these dates. He wrote his will
August 16 1709 and Joyce his wife was the Executrix. His will was
never probated or the record was destroyed. To receive land grants
or patents a person had to get a warrant issued and have their
rights proved. In the year 1694 Henry Creech, Joyce his wife
Benjamin Pain Thomas Harrison Elizabeth his wife and Elizabeth
Harrison their daughter proved their rights in Albemarle County

Certificate from the Minister of Gravesend of their comformitie to
the Orders and discipline of the Church of England. Richard Creech Sr. the son of Henry Creech Sr.
and Joyce Paine Creech was born in Lower Norfolk County Virginia
in the year 1662. Richard married about the year 1691 to Tamer
Eliza Davis and settled in Nansemond County, Virginia where the
Rent Rolls in 1701 showed he had 200 acres of land in that county.
Nansemond county was created from upper Norfolk County Virginia in
the year 1637 and is just across the North Carolina-Virginia state
line from Currituck County N.C. which was formed from Albemarle
County N. C. in the year 1691 where Richard's father Henry Creech
Sr. lived. Tamer Eliza Davis the wife of Richard was the daughter
of Samuel Davis Sr. and wife Eliza Benton. Samuel Davis Sr. came
to America August 20, 1662 with Captain Samuel Matthews and 59
others. Samuel Davis Sr. returned to England and came back to
America on October 13, 1662 with his wife Eliza, son Samuel Davis
Jr., infant daughter Tamer Eliza Davis, daughter Alice Davis, who
married later a Mr. Billet. Daughter Sarah Davis who later married
a Mr. Ward and a son John Davis. Also on this return trip to
America the father-in-law of Samuel Davis Sr. John Benton with
wife Joann children John Benton Jr. Isabel Benton Alice Benton and
Abigail Benton came with him. Samuel Davis Sr. settled 15 miles up
the Southward side of the Rappahannock River with 400 acres of
land. He received another 950 acres in patent on the north side of
Carolina River September 25, 1663 and in the Pasquotank Precinct
95 acres on Herring Creek Swamp January 1694. The will of Samuel
Davis Sr. was petition by his son Samuel Davis Jr. March 11, 1718.
Richard Creech Sr. died 1715 in Nansemond County Virginia without
a will and his wife Tamer Eliza Davis Creech died April 3, 1719
after her husband. Tamer Creech was one of the witnesses to her
father-in-law's will, Henry Creech in 1709. Richard and Tamer
Creech had six children in order of: Charles, Samuel Davis, Joyce,
Richard Jr., Elizabeth and William Creech. (Of Richard Creech
later) Richard Creech Jr., the son of Richard Creech
Sr. and wife Tamer Eliza Davis was born about 1703 Nansemond
County, Virginia. He died before 1782 in Norfolk County, Virginia
where he left his will no date given. Richard married about 1723
Mary Etheridge the daughter of Levy Etheridge and granddaughter of
Adam Etheridge and wife Elizabeth. The will of Elizabeth Etheridge
- dated January 23, 1764 (her husband was Adam Etheridge who died
in Norfolk County Virginia) mentions her granddaughter Mary
Creech, grandson Thomas Bayshaw, son Levy Etheridge. Elizabeth had
property on the north side of Tanner's Creek. The widow Mary
Creech was shown on the state enumeration's of Norfolk County
Virginia 1782-1785 with 3 whites and with 1 dwelling; she was also
shown on the 1790 Federal Census for Norfolk County. It seems that
she must have been some younger than her husband Richard or lived
to be an old woman in her late 80's. Not much is known about
Richard Creech Jr. or his land transactions maybe he had very
little as the issue of Richard and Mary migrated to other parts of
the country except son Henry; for this was the period of time that
there was a heavy migration to the south and west with a few
moving north. The issue of Richard and Mary were: Benjamin Sr.,
John Sr., Henry Richard 3rd, Mary Nancy and Elizabeth Creech. -

1770-1790) Benjamin Creech Sr. was born about 1724 in
Nansemond County, Virginia. the son of Richard Creech Jr. and Mary
Etheridge. He married 1745 Mary Lewis born 28 Jan. 1724 the
daughter of Thomas Lewis and Rebecca (Becky) Thomas the daughter
of Samuel Thomas. Benjamin Sr. came to present day Lenoir County
North Carolina in the year 1746. It is assumed that he came
directly from Nansemond County Va. to old Johnston County N.C. He
received several land grants in old Dobbs and Johnston Counties
which later became present day Greene and Lenoir counties (see
below) Most of this land was located on Wheat Swamp and Rainbow
Run. The old home house of Benjamin Creech Sr. was located near
the Greene-Lenoir County line on Rainbow Run off high way 91
between Snow Hill and Kinston. The house was made of logs with a
stick and mud chimney and had dirt floors which had white sand on
them that had been hauled from the Contentnea Creek banks. This
house was handed down to Benjamin's son Ezekiel, then to his son
John Creech, thence to his son Starkey Creech thence to his son
Joesph John Creech. This house was standing until the year 1899
(My father, William Franklin Creech was born in this house) and
the old Creech cemetery was near by, where he is buried without a
marker. He died between 1770 and 1790. . He left all six sons a
farm and most sold out and moved to other sections of the state
and nation. Benjamin Creech, Sr. did much for the Independence of
America as he had five sons to serve in the American Revolution
and one other son to be killed by the Tories at the beginning or
just before the war started. Benjamin Creech, Sr. had seven sons
and two daughters. One son died an infant. Dobbs County N.C. - Benjamin Creech -

page 117 Benjamin Creech Sr. was born about 1724 in
Nansemond County Virginia the son of Richard Creech Jr. and wife
Mary Etheridge. In the years 1735-1756 the heavy migration to the
Coastal Plain region of North Carolina accounted for the very
rapid growth there. extending from 50 to 200 miles inland. Moving
into the area the heavy migration from the areas of Isle of Wight,
Surry, Nansemond and other counties of Virginia included the
Scotch-Irish, Germans Welsh, English, French and others which run
into the thousands. How did they come? - with horses oxen, wagons
and cattle, walking, they made their trek into what was to become
Greene, Lenoir and Wayne counties of North Carolina. Benjamin
Creech Sr. and his brother Richard Creech was no exception for
they had joined a wagon train to the south just how many families
or who they were is not known; but actual they were headed for the
region around the Lower Cape Fear Valley where many friends,
neighbors and family had already settled. The time of year was
winter; the snow and cold rainy weather had made them bear east
instead of taking the famous "The Philadelphia Wagon Road" which
began at Schuylkill River Ferry opposite Philadelphia and ending
near Salisbury, North Carolina. As they passed the territory of
old Johnston County, North Carolina (later to become old Dobbs
Co.) Benjamin a young man of about 22 years old and here he fell
in love with a young lady by the name of Mary Lewis born January
28, 1724 and married her in the year 1746 in the spring. It was a
very short courtship, it seems that Benjamin could not talk Mary
into leaving with him to continue on to the Lower Cape Fear region
but instead she persuaded Benjamin to stay near her family.
Brother Richard continued on to New Hanover County, North Carolina
where he stayed until after the American Revolution then moved on
to present day Barnwell Co, South Carolina. Mary Lewis was the
daughter of Thomas Lewis and Rebecca (Becky) Thomas (daughter of
Samuel Thomas). After the marriage of Benjamin and Mary Thomas,
Lewis gave them a parcel of land 200 acres in 1747; here on this
land Benjamin and Mary built a log house with a stick chimney,
dirt floors which had sand on them that had been hauled from the
Great Contentnea Creek banks. Here in this houses Benjamin and
Mary had 9 children of which 8 reached man or womanhood. This
house was handed down to their son Ezekiel then to his son John
thence to his son Starkey thence to his son Joseph John Creech,
who was killed in the Civil War, fighting for the Confederacy.
This house stood until the year 1899 (my father William Franklin
Creech was born in this house) The old Creech cemetery is nearby
this home house of Benjamin Creech - So it is presumed that
Benjamin Creech Sr. came directly from Nansemond County, Virginia
to what was to become old Dobbs County North Carolina (now Lenoir
and Greene counties) where he built a land empire on Rainbow Run
and Wheat Swamp. Here he received land grants in 1770, 1768, and
1771; and another, no date given, probably earlier than the
others. He died before 1780 as he was not shown on that years tax
list and is buried near the old home site without a marker along
with his wife, son John, son Lewis and daughter Mary Nancy Creech.
These graves had markers until about the year 1932 when an old man
asked the owner to clean up the cemetery (was during the great
depression period) so he could make some money to get his family
something to eat. The owner agreed to let him clean up the
cemetery, but to his surprise when checked, found that the old man
had removed all markers and had thrown them in a wash on Rainbow
Run. (This story was told to me by Mr. Willie Sugg, who later
owned the farm and stated he had seen the markers). Benjamin Sr.
and Mary Lewis Creech did much for their country and its
independence, as they had five sons to Serve in the American
Revolution and one other son to be killed by the Tories at the
beginning or just before the war started. They left each son a
farm in old Dobbs County, N.C, but son Richard sold out and went
to Cumberland County , N.C.; Mary never married; Simon sold out
and moved to Duplin Co, N.C; Benjamin Jr. stayed in Lenoir;
Rebecca no data; Joshua went to present day Johnston Co.; N.C.;
Ezekiel stayed in Lenoir Co.; John Sr. stayed but died about 1783-
his widow and sons went to Lee Co. Va. & Harlan Co, Ky.; son
Lewis died young; Ezekiel Creech Sr.(See

Census of Sampson Co, N.C. with four sons and two daus. and a
wife. He sold his farm that his father left him to Major Croom,
shown on old Johnston Co. Index Deeds Book 13, page 196. He served

Creech. He was shown on the 1769 and 1780 tax list from Dobbs
County; also on the 1790 and 1820 federal census of Dobbs and
Lenoir Counties. One strange thing about the descendants of
Benjamin Creech, Jr. was that nearly all of them left Lenoir
County for other parts of the state and country. By 1850 very few
were left in the county of Lenoir. Benjamin Creech Jr. was paid
for war services in 1776 from N.C. Benjamin Creech Jr. is buried

as guardian for William Creech. He m. Sally Herring, dau. of
Benjamin Herring of Duplin Co. N.C. (a deed bears this

(named in will & shown on the 1800 Census) Note: There has been a lot of Creech family
history, that states that Joshua Creech Sr. had a son by the name
of Noah Creech. He was not shown on Joshua's will or there is no
record of any deed anywhere that Joshua Sr. gave Noah Creech any
property whatso- ever. The onlv Creech connection was that Noah
Sr. was a nephew of the Joshua Sr. and his brother Benjamin III
married a dau. of Joshua Sr. Also Noah Jr. married Elizabeth
Creech a dau. of Stephen Creech. We see some deeds that bear out
these facts. There were enough connections that Noah Creech Sr.
moved from Lenoir County, N.C. to Johnston County about the year
1826. Joshua Creech Sr.
