Philip is NOT listed with the family on the 1880 census. His will was not proved until 1893...not sure why

the wait. By then Martha had remarried. James also, had vanished by 1880.

Yes, both marriages of Phillip Benjamin Carrawan are recorded in this register. Philip B. Carawan

applied for license to marry Anmariah Carrowan on 13 Sept 1855. They were married by Seth B. Harris,

JP on Sept 16, 1855. The Sept 16 could possibly be a 13. Philip Benjamin Carrowon applied for license

to marry Marthy Gines (sic) on Jan 20, 1860. Philip Benjamin Carrowan and Martha Giles were married

on 31 Jan 1860 by Reuben Benson, JP.

According to Billy Gene Carawan, supposedly buried behind the house where Billy and Mary O'Neal

Spencer lived in Rose Bay. The gravesite has long since been plowed over by Alva and David O'Neal.

Philip married¹ (1) Ann Mariah CARAWAN daughter of (William?) Benjamin CARAWAN and Delilah WHITE on 13 Sep 1855. Ann was born about 1837. She died before 1860.

It is unknown whether the Ann Mariah Carawan who married Philip Benjamin Carawan is the same as

the Ann Mariah who was the d/o Benjamin Carawan and Delilah White. However, nothing is known of

the d/o Benjamin and Delilah besides a rough birthdate, and not much is known of the first wife of Philip

except that she died young. I am operation on the assumption that they are indeed the same person, not

because of the evidence, but for the lack thereof. There was a good deal of cross-county travel between

these two parts of the state, and while I am far from certain of this, it does seem entirely reasonable.

Philip and Ann had the following children:

2 M i. James CARAWAN was born² about 1855 in North Carolina. He died³ after 1870.

Philip married⁴ (2) Martha GILES daughter of William W. GILES and Sally BERRY on 31 Jan 1860. Martha was born⁵ about 1840. She died on 6 Sep 1897.

email from Kitty Humphries 8/30/03:

This might be of interest. I just found this short notice that could be Martha Giles Carawan Bell. In the

book Marriages and Deaths from Washington, NC Newpapers Vol. 3 The Washington Progress 1887-

1906 compiled by Esther and Jim Chauncey, edited and indexed by Sybble Smithwick and John H.

OdenIII and published by Beaufort Co. Gen. Soc in 2002. Abstracted from microfilm at archives.

On p. 92. of the above book --- Wed. Sept 15, 1897, p. 3, col.. 4, Died; From Lake Forest; The funeral

services of Mrs. Martha Bell, who died on the 6th inst., was conducted by Rev. W. R. Carawan.

NOTE: I am taking the above as truth for the moment and entering a death date for Martha. This obit

will have to be checked further though.

There is a Martha Bell on the 1890 tax list who owns 51 Acres in Rose Bay, Swan Quarter twp. No age

given, listed as white. Value: 275 Stock: 4 Total: 2.51.

Philip and Martha had the following children:

3 F ii. Sophia CARAWAN was born⁶ about 1861. She died⁷ before 1890.

Elizabeth Andrew states Sophia died before 1890. She was for sure dead before 1897,

as she is not referenced in P.B. Carawan's estate records of that year, but Lorenzo

Williams is.

Sophia married Lorenzo W. "Rensey" WILLIAMS son of Samuel L. WILLIAMS and Mordissa SAWYER on 2 Nov 1882. Lorenzo was born on 29 Oct 1859. He died on 24 Dec 1936 in Hyde Co. NC. He was buried in Mt.

Olive Church Cemetery, US 264, Currituck twp, Hyde Co. NC.

Killed by being struck by a car driven by Charlie Armstrong. Named after his father's

uncle, Lorenzo Dow Williams.

Mr. Rendsey WILLIAMS was accidentally killed on December 24, 1936, when he was

struck by an automobile driven by Mr. Charlie ARMSTRONG. Mr. Williams was 77

years old and very feeble and it was thought that he started across the road and

couldn't stop and ran into the car. He was born on October 27, 1859. Services were

conducted by Rev. R.L. HARRIS. Burial took place at Mt. Olive Church. There survives

him, one son, Sam WILLIAMS of Swan Quarter; one daughter, Mrs. Jennings

SPENCER of Swan Quarter; one brother, Mr. Lonnie WILLIAMS; two sisters: Mrs.

Mattie Cohoon of Kilkeney and Mrs. Elisha SEWELLS, all of Swan Quarter. [IMO

states Lorenzo W. "Rensey" WILLIAMS was born October 29, 1859 and died

December 24, 1936. He was the son of Samuel L. WILLIAMS and Mordicia SAWYER.

He was married first to Sophia CARAWAN and second to Mittie SMITZ.]

______________________

from Hyde Co. Messenger, Sep 1933:

On the morning of July 17, 1933, friends and relatives of Captain Billy SPENCER were greatly shocked

by his sudden death. He was found dead in bed. He was in good health seemingly but God saw fit to call

him at this unexpected moment. Captain Billy, as he was known throughout his community and county,

was born and reared in Hyde and spent most of his life at Rose Bay where his home was at the time of

his death. For a number of years he operated a freight boat from Rose Bay to Washington, N.C. The

latter part of his life he spent at home engaged in the mercantile business, farming and logging. The

funeral service was conducted from his home by the Methodist pastor, Rev. W.G. LOWE, assisted by

Rev. Roe HARRIS. He was buried in the BRIDGMAN graveyard. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Annie

SPENCER; one daughter and five sons: Mrs. Lillian SHEPPARD, Macon SPENCER and Walter

SPENCER, all of Swan Quarter, Billy SPENCER of Scranton, John SPENCER and Charlie SPENCER of

Rocky Mount. His death is also mourned by six sisters, two brothers and three grandchildren.

of Rocky Mount NC (1934).
