George Plott and Rebekah (Land) Plott
George Plott (c. 1799 to c. 1870 to prior to December 26, 1871) married Rebekah Land (c. 1804 to between 1850 through 1860) on February 8, 1821 in Haywood County, North Carolina.
George’s parents were Henry Plott and Lydia Osborn. On the 1800 Census, Henry was recorded in Cabarrus County, NC. On the 1810 Census, Henry was recorded in Haywood County, NC. Ergo, George, being born circa 1799, was more than likely born in Cabarrus County and moved to Haywood County as a young boy with his parents. Using information from the 1870 Census and information from John Bryson’s Last Will and Testament (Thanks to Jason Edwards for information), the date range for George’s death was c. 1870 to prior to December 26, 1871.
Rebekah’s father was Isaac Land. Currently, the name of her mother is unknown. On February 10, 1798, Isaac Land purchased property at west fork of Richland Creek called Dicks Creek from Joseph Dobson. (Thanks to Bill Plott for a copy of the deed.) Ergo, if Rebekah was born circa 1804, she was born in Buncombe County, NC. Rebekah confirms that she was born in North Carolina on the 1850 Census. Haywood County was formed in 1808 from the western part of Buncombe County. Her name is more than likely spelled Rebekah; however, Rebecca is more commonly used.
George and Rebekah had twelve children. The children born in North Carolina were: Matilda, Amos, Lydia, Joseph B., Elizabeth Ann (Betty), Easter Adaline, Salinda, George Henry, and Jonathan. The children born in Georgia were: Isaac L., John and Zachary T. George and Rebekah also fostered John L. Haynes, who was to have been a nephew of Rebekah’s.
In 1821, Rebekah’s father, Isaac Land died without leaving a Last Will and Testament; ergo, his children had to settle his estate. During the settlement of Isaac Land’s estate, George purchased items at the estate sale and, subsequently, purchased Isaac Land’s real estate.
On April 15th, 1822, George attended the estate sale for Isaac Land, his deceased father-in-law, which was held in Haywood County, NC. George bought several items, including: two hoes, one plow and two clevers, gears, bell and bridle, two bisons, table, ox, lythe, coffee pot, and more. Others that purchased items at the sale included: Henry Plott (George’s father), Job Thomas (George’s brother-in-law), Hosea Land (George’s brother-in-law), Osborn Plott (George's son), and John Morrison (George’s brother-in-law).
On October 1, 1823, the living heirs of the deceased Isaac Land deeded their real estate inheritance interest at “ . . . next fork of Richland Creek called Dicks Creek . . . “ to George Plott, being Rebekah Land’s husband. The grantee signers were: John Bryson (Ann Land’s husband), Job Thomas, Esther Thomas (maiden name Land), John Morrison, and Ruth Morrison (maiden name Land). Haywood County, 1808-1930, Real Estate, Quit Claim Deed Book C, Page 193.
George moved his family to the Young Harris area sometime during the time period after the birth of their son Jonathan, who was born on December 31, 1839 in North Carolina through the enumeration date of the 1840 Census, which was June 1, 1840. Information collected by Jason Edwards, George Plott’s property was as follows, “He owned half each of land lots 206, 207, 229 (80 acres of each), and all of 228 (160 acres). All in the 17th District and 1st Section. 400 acres in all. That is as of 1849 tax list. Of that, a small part of 206 and most of 229 is in what is now Towns County, the rest is in Union. It is all down Plottown Rd where it crosses into Union County.” Plottown Road is named after George and Rebekah Plott’s family.
George Plott was first recorded in the Old Union Baptist church books, “Sunday 5th, 1846 … 3. Brother Plott manifested a hurt with Brother Bryson . . .” The hurt that was manifested was not mentioned. Then, in July, 1849, page 24, 1. Church met and after worship opened the door for the reception of members rec’d 11 by letter: George Plott . . . 4. Appointed delegates to the association brother to wit . . . George Plott . . .” Then, on March 26, 1852, page 34, “Called for reference and found that a presbytery had been called for the ordaining Brother George Plott to the office of a deacon and a part of them having met with the church for the purpose and finding him orthodox set him apart to that office . . . “ The first time Rebekah’s name appears is on the 1865 List of Females, number 132, Rebeca Plott.
George and Rebekah are buried in Old Union Cemetery.
