Caleb Winfrey (c1800) and Arabella Moody of Surry and Cherokee Co, NC[Commentary] [Children] [Researcher List] [Register Report] [A Note about sources] [How to contact me] [Home] I (Marty Grant) am a 4th Great Grandson of Caleb Winfrey and Arabella Moody. Caleb Winfrey was born ca 1799/1800, in Surry Co, NC, presumably in the Mitchells River area. Caleb (Jr) is a proven son of Caleb Winfrey (Sr) and Nancy Bowles. After the death of Caleb (Sr)'s first wife Nancy Bowles, he deeded property to his children, just before he remarried. On 20 Nov 1809 Caleb Winfrey gave a deed of gift to his "sons" Isaac Winfrey, Thomas Winfrey, Caleb Winfrey and John Winfrey, property in Surry Co, NC. (Surry Co, NC Deed Book M page 319). Caleb (Jr) was apparently home with his father for the 1800 and 1810 census. I didn't find Caleb Winfrey on the 1820 census, nor did he seem to be residing with his father Caleb (though he had just one boy age 16-25 (c1794/1804) with him in 1820, I can't be sure if it was Caleb or one of his brothers). Isaac was probably residing with another family as a laborer. Caleb Winfrey married Arabella Moody ca 1821 in Surry Co, NC. She was a daughter of John Moody and Mary Roberts. Caleb was listed on the 1830 census in Surry Co, NC on the same page with his brother Thomas Winfrey. 1830 census analysis (based on available evidence): (Explanation of this census) 1830 Surry Co, NC pg 143 Caleb Winfrey 0000010000000-2100100000000 Analysis: 1 Male(s) 30-39 (1790-1800) Caleb WINFREY (1799/1800) s/o Caleb & Nancy 1 Female(s) 20-29 (1800-1810) Arabella MOODY Winfrey (1803/04) wife 1 Female(s) 5-9 (1820-1825) Caroline C.

WINFREY (1829) daughter On 31 Jan 1838 a deed was made among several of Caleb Winfrey (Sr)'s heirs, dividing up his Yadkin river land. Lot # 1 went to his son Thomas Winfrey. Lot # 2 to son Caleb Winfrey and Lot # 3 to son Isaac Winfrey. A plat map was attached showing this land. (Surry Co, NC Deed Book X page 49). On 6 Nov 1839 Caleb Winfrey sold property to Lemuel B. Jones. Caleb's son-in-law James Wright was a witness. (Surry Co, NC Deed Book Y page 213). Caleb Winfrey was listed on the 1840 census in Surry Co, NC. There were some extra people with him, but I'm quite sure I know who they were. 1840 census analysis (based on available evidence): (Explanation of this census) 1840 Surry Co, NC pg 112 Caleb Winfrey 1000101000000-1112020000000 Analysis: 1 Male(s) 40-49 (1790-1800) Caleb WINFREY (1799/1800) s/o Caleb & Nancy 1 Male(s) 20-29 (1810-1820) James S.

Jones sold property to Jonathan Jones. (Surry Co, NC Deed Book 1 page 340). Caleb's brother Isaac died in 1838, and his estate was divided up among his siblings on 28 Aug 1840, and Caleb Winfrey was named as one of his heirs. (Surry Co, NC Estate Book 2 page 14). In 1840 or early 1841 Caleb Winfrey and family, and his son-in-law James S. Wright left Surry Co, NC and moved to Cherokee Co, NC where they settled along the Valley River in what is now Valleytown Township in the river valley between Andrews and Topton. Caleb Winfrey and family were listed on the 1850 census in Cherokee Co, NC.

ChildrenCaleb Winfrey and Arabella Moody had five children, all proven by census records, death records and some by circumstantial evidence. Emaline "Emily" Winfrey (1825)
Caroline C. Winfrey was born 13 Dec 1822 in Surry Co, NC (date on her tombstone, and same month and year on 1900 census). Caroline is not a proven daughter of Caleb and Arabella, but the circumstantial evidence seems overwhelming. Family tradition and people who knew her said her maiden name was a Winfrey. The death records for several of her children list her maiden name as "Winfrey". Caroline was apparently with her parents for the 1830 census. Caroline C. Winfrey married James S. Wright ca 1837/38 in Surry Co, NC. James Wright and Caleb Winfrey were associated together in many ways in both Surry Co, NC and Cherokee Co, NC, and owned land jointly in Cherokee Co, NC. James and Caroline named their oldest daughter "Arabella", presumably after Caroline's mother Arabella Moody Winfrey. James S. Wright and wife moved to Cherokee Co, NC at the same time as Caleb Winfrey and family, and they lived by each other along the Valley River. See the James S. Wright page for more information on James and Caroline's family.
Emaline "Emily" Winfrey was born 11 Feb 1823 (per her tombstone) or January 1825 per the 1900 census. This latter date agrees with her ages on the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 census records, as well as 1900. She was born in Surry Co, NC (per the 1860 census record). Emily was apparently home with her parents for the 1830 and 1840 census. She came with her parents from Surry to Cherokee Co, NC ca 1840/41 and about that same time she married William Cruise in Cherokee Co, NC. For the 1850 census, William and Emily were listed two houses from her parents, in Cherokee Co, NC, and next to her sister Elizabeth Winfrey Rogers on one side (between her and her parents), and her sister Caroline Winfrey Wright on the other side.

Her death record lists her as "Lizzie Phillips" and lists her father as "Caleb Winfrey" and mother as "Ira Moody". James M. Phillips died sometime after the 1910 census, but I don't know when. I don't know where either of them are buried.
Elizabeth Winfrey was born ca May 1831 in Surry Co, NC. The 1900 census shows her born May 1835, but at least two other records show her born ca 1831/32, so if "May" is correct, it might be May 1831 or May 1832. 1835 seems unlikely. Her tombstone gives only a birth year of "1831", so that is what I base "May 1831" on. She came with her parents from Surry Co, NC to Cherokee Co, NC ca 1840-1841. She married Barney Rogers ca 1849/50 in Cherokee Co, NC. Barney is a son of James Rogers. Barney and Elizabeth were listed on the 1850 census in Cherokee Co, NC, between her parents and her sister Emily Winfrey Cruise.
