5. Henry Plott (October 10, 1770 to November 1, 1837*) married Lydia Osborne (October 19, 1776 to November 16, 1857) on November 7, 1796. “Lives in Haywood” County, North Carolina. *On August 21, 1837, Henry gives power of attorney to his brother, Elias Plott, pertaining to their parents estate settlement; “my truly beloved Brother Elias Plott of the County of Iredell and the State aforesaid my lawfull attorney for me . . . due and owing me from the Estate of George Plott my dec'd Father.” *Henry Plott completed his Last Will and Testament, “I do hereby appoint my Trust friend William Welch my sole Executor of this my last will and testament hereby revoking all former wills and testaments by me made in witness my hand & sell this 15th day of October in the year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred & Thirty Seven (1837).” The codicil of his will is dated October 17, 1837. North Carolina, Probate Records, 1735-1970 Haywood Wills, Inventories, 1829-1846.*The first date of the Estate Settlement of Henry’s property was on November 6, 1837. *Henry Plott died between October 17, 1837 to November 6, 1837. The modern tombstone at his grave has an inscription error on the year. It should be 1837. Again, I make no disparaging remarks to those family members, who placed the marker with the year error. I commend the placement of the grave marker.The Estate Settlement documents can be found in North Carolina, Haywood County, Estates 1809-1942, Henry Plott, 1837, C.R.049.508.59.Henry Plott is the first Plott to move to Haywood County, North Carolina, southern Appalachian Mountain Range. Henry Plott is recorded on the 1800 Cabarrus County - Salisbury District, U. S. Second Census, page 704. On January 29, 1800, George Plott by means of a deed granted Henry Plott property for the sum of ninety pounds, Cabarrus County, North Carolina Deed Book 4, Page 20. The recorders copy discloses that George signed the deed as “George Plott” with a seal confirming that he signed the original document. Henry and Lydia's children were: Osborne, George, Jonathan, David, Enos, Amos, Henry Jr., John, Margaret Peggy married Ezekiel Brown, Martha Caroline married Hugh Brown and Celinda married Elias Brendle. After the 1800 Census and prior to the 1810 U.S. Census, Henry and Lydia move to Haywood County. Henry Plott is recorded on the 1810 Haywood County, U. S. Census, page 71. Haywood County was formed in 1808 from the western part of Buncombe County. A search of Haywood County deeds reveals Henry’s first land purchase from John Welch, Deed book A, Page 66, “this 12th day of March A.D. 1810.”, “sum of three hundred Dollars”, “whereon the said Plott now lives on a fork of Richland Called dicks Creek”, “Containing by estimation one hundred acres”. Please note that the deed reveals that Henry Plott was already living on the property on March 12, 1810. I pause here to make note that Henry’s name is NOT ‘Henry Isaac’. I don’t know who; however, someone started composing his name as Henry Isaac from 1928 to 1965 and it has gotten published into books (“The Annals of Haywood County”) and put online. This is wrong, wrong, wrong! Henry had a brother named Isaac, who is listed below. I quote from Henry’s Last Will and Testament, “In the Name of God Amen. I Henry Plott of the county of Haywood in the State of North Carolina being very sick in body but of sound mind, memory, . . . “ Like I mentioned above with George, I now mention for Henry, thank goodness Henry refers to himself with a ‘Sound mind, memory’. The man can remember his own name. Plus, on Henry’s Last Will and Testament, his signature includes a seal with no “X” mark, which means that he signed his name, “Henry Plott”. Henry Plott’s Last Will is recorded, North Carolina, Probate Records, 1735-1970, Haywood Wills, Inventories, 1829-1846, Image 6 through 8. Again, I comment that it is an insult not to refer to Henry as his parents named him, as he himself directed and as his siblings addressed him, Henry Plott.
