FOREWARD
I am grateful to many persons for furnishing material for the compilation of this manuscript. Our family played some small part, at one time, in the pioneering of this country in which we live, for however humble and simple the lives of our ancestors may have been, their story is in itself, a contribution to our knowledge of the past.
Each man is an architect of his own life and must rise or fall on his individual merits. While an honest name is of priceless value, it does not alone provide the elements of success.
Within these pages may be found part of the history of the COMPTON family in America. The compilation of this work has required labor, time, and patient research. If there is no other reason for writing our history and preserving our records, the simple fact that ours is among the oldest families in the South, would be sufficient.
I sometimes wonder, of course, if my children or the COMPTON descendants will cherish my records, but whether they do or not, they will have this data to pass on to future generations. The years of collecting this material has stimulated my mind and brought joy to my heart.

COMPTON
The earliest known record of Aquilla Compton, progenitor of our family is found in "Calendar of Maryland State Papers" (The Black Books #1--page 227) as follows:
Prince George County--Petition of several inhabitants above the Monocacy River to the Governor, thus: "The subscribers have greatly suffered by the loss or want of a proper person for the office of Justice. We recommend Captain Griffith, William Taneyhill, and Jacob Duckett as candidates for the office."
The signers included Aquilla Compton (M), James Comton and John Comton (M).
Found in “Archives of Maryland,” (Volume 42 – page 428)--record of the Assembly proceedings Sept. 21 – October 29, 1742, thus:
Be it enacted by the Right Honourable, the Lord Proprietary, by and with the advice and consent of his Lordship’s Governor and the Upper and Lower Houses of Assembly and the Authority of the same, that from and after the twenty-second day of November next ensuing, all that part of Prince George’s Parish, beginning at the Great Senecar Run Mouth and running by and with the said Run to the head thereof, from thence with a due East line to the head of one of the draughts of Patuxent River and so binding all round as the Upper Part of said County is bounded, shall be, and is this act, separated, constituted, erected and made into a Parish, to be called by the name of ALL SAINTS PARISH, divided as aforesaid from PRINCE GEORGE’S PARISH in the said county and shall be, and is hereby adjudged, deemed and taken to be a separate and distinct Parish; giving to the freeholders thereof (at a certain day to be appointed by them) full ample power to elect and make choice of the number of six select Vestry-men and two Church Wardens and also to build and found a Church therein; and shall have, hold and enjoy all privileges and advantages whatsoever, that are held and enjoyed by any other Parish within this Province; any law, statute, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.
Again we find mention of Aquilla Compton in the Calendar of Maryland State Papers (The Black Books #1--page 141) thus:
1760/1761 "Sundry inhabitants of the Parish of ALL SAINTS, Frederick County. To the Governor Horatio Sharpe and the Upper and Lower Houses of Assembly:
Petition for three new levies to build two chapels, one below the Monocacy River; three previous levies raised enough to repair the church at Frederick Town; since the two chapels cannot be repaired, they will need 120,000 pounds of tobacco in three payment, 1761, 1762, and 1763 for rebuilding." The signatures included William Norris and Aquilla Compton, along with 45 other signers.
Note: This Parish of All Saints was in Frederick County due to that, county being taken from Prince George County in 1748.
Apparently, Aquilla Compton married Elizabeth Sierra Norris about 1760 in Frederick County, Maryland. There is some question as to the parentage of Elizabeth Sierra Norris since a genealogy written by Harry Alexander Davis in 1941 and found in the rare book section of the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., is a 1500 page typewritten and bound manuscript covering the NORRIS family. ln this manuscript it states William Norris was born 1713 in Charles County, Maryland and was the issue of Daniel Cuthbert and Mary (Jenkins) Norris. He migrated to Prince George County, Maryland and there married about 1740 to Elizabeth, the widow of William Sierra, who had two children at the time and that these children assumed the name of Norris. However, this has not been proven.
In the will of William Norris, written 1 February 1746 in Prince George County and probated 27 January 1748 in Frederick County, William mentions the two children.
Will Book 26, Folio 32-3 Frederick County, Maryland, as follows:
In the name of God, Amen: I, William Norris, schoolmaster of the Parish of All Saints in Prince George County in the Province of Maryland, being weak of body, but sound and perfect mind and memory and understanding, I make and ordain, this my last will and testament in the manner and form following:
Imprimis, that all my debts and funeral charges be paid and discharged.
Item--all the rest of my estate, goods and chattels, lands and all and every real and personal estate I give and bequeath unto my loving wife, Elizabeth Norris, during her continuance in widowhood, but if she marry, then to enjoy, but one-third part thereof and to deliver up two-thirds to my children, William Sierra Norris and Elizabeth Sierra Norris, so soon as they shall arrive to the age of twenty-one years or the day of marriage, to be theirs and the lawful heirs of their bodies forever.
Item--my will and desire is that if either of my children die without issue the other to have the deceased part of the estate and if they should both die without issue and before my said wife, then she is to have the whole estate to dispose thereof, at her discretion.
Item—my desire is that if my children or one of them survive their mother he or she or they shall enjoy the whole of my estate.
Item--my desire is that my son is to be kept in school till he comes to age and the girl till she has a good and sufficient education.
Item--my desire is my son have all my books, except one of my prayer books which I give to my daughter, and desire she may have the WHOLE DUTY OF MAN* and the GOVERNMENT OF THE TONGUE AND DRELINCOURT ON DEATH to be bought and give her, as soon as she shall be able to make use of them, which books I desire to be got and laid by or the money to purchase them before any division is made of my estate.
Item--I desire my body to be buried near the folly* in a tract of land called SIERRAS LOVE, at the discretion of my wife, Elizabeth, who is to be full and sole executrix of this, my last will and testament and I do hereby, revoke, disannull and make void all former wills made by me. In witness whereof, I set my hand and seal this first day of January in the year of our Lord, 1746/7.

*THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN, by Richard G. Alstree was a religious book and most families of this period owned a copy.
*According to an unabridged dictionary, the word, "folly" is a small pavilion-like structure, built for pleasure, hence the name.
On the back of the above will was written:
January 27, 1748—William Littlefield and Abraham Neighbors said they saw the said William Norris sign the within will. Sworn before John Darnale, Deputy Commissioner of Frederick County, Maryland.
The above William Norris was granted a patent in 1744 for a tract of land known as "SIERRAS LOVE” located in Prince George County, Maryland. Original survey, and deed to same, as follows:

*CHARLES was one of many titles used by Lord Baltimore in his land grants. It means “Absolute Lord and Proprietary of the Province of Maryland and Avalon Lord baron of Baltimore.”
The above one hundred acres intersected the line of a tract known as Ralpho or Ralfo, which William Norris purchased, from George Scott in 1743. However, the deed to same was not recorded until later. We find in "Rent rolls of Prince George County"--page 155, the following: Ralphoe was surveyed 10 July 1702 for Ralph Bassill for 316 acres lying in above county on the branches of Patuxent called Snowden River. Beginning at the first tree of the land laid out for Ruth Clark called the "Happy Lot".
In T.H.S. Boyd’s "History of Montgomery County, Maryland, we find that Ralfo was granted George Scott in 1740 and included a portion of Horace Walter's land and others. Montgomery County was originally a part of Frederick County and Frederick County was taken from Prince George County in 1748. From descriptions in these deeds, it is evident that the Norris and Compton families lived in what is now Montgomery County, Maryland.

We find the Minutes of the Lynches Creek Primitive Baptist Church in Caswell County, North Carolina, in which the Compton family were charter members, on file at the Primitive Baptist Library in Elon College, North Carolina. Minute Book #1:
|Caswell County, North Carolina 13 July 1799 |
|The Brethren George Roberts, Thomas Voss, Barsilla Graves, William Brown and Richard Martin, a Presbytery to attend on Lynches |
|Creek, to try to form a constitution of members of several churches they attended and hopefully perform the work. The names of the |
|members of the said constitution as follows: |
|John Larders |Betty Herndon |
|David Herndon |Elizabeth Compton |
|George Brown |Elizabeth Washborn |

|Norris Compton |Mary Knight |
|William Joplin |Henrietta Marsh |
|Samuel Smith |Rachel Pendergast |
|James Byrd |Sally Hopper |
| |Sally Ashford |
| |Leania Compton |

|The above members professing to believe in free salvation by Jesus Christ alone, likewise in the Doctrine of the Gospel, namely: |
|Original sin, in effectual calling or the operation of the Spirit on the mind, to the conversion of the soul, in justification by |
|the imputed righteousness of Christ, in sanctification by the Spirit and Grace of God, in holiness of life, in the perseverance of |
|the Saints to eternal life, in the resurrection of the body from the dead, in a General Judgement and in future rewards and |
|punishments, also in believers baptismal by immersion and in the Lord’s Supper, that none but believers have a right to either of |
|them. That the Scriptures, the Old and New Testaments are the word of God and is the only rule of faith and practice and ought to |
|be carefully observed and attended to and Gospel discipline kept up and that all rulers of families should go to worship night and |
|morning in their homes and attend the public worship of God and especially at Conference meetings. |
The above writing is taken from the record of the constitution of the Lynches Creek Baptist Church formed 9 July 1799. In January 1816, an arm of 15 members was extended to meet at Harmony Meeting House, which was constituted as a church 15 September 1819. Some of the ministers who have served and preached here are: Elders John Landers, Willis Wells, R. Henslee, A. Compton, Ephriam Hawkins, F. L. Oakley and many more. Elder W. J. Berry also served here, but is currently in charge of the Baptist Library in Elon College, North Carolina.

The old Aquilla Compton home still stands in Caswell County, North Carolina. It is in very poor repair, and clap board covers the log portion of the house. A nearby burying ground on the farm, apparently holds the remains of the Compton family, with most graves marked by fieldstones, with the letter "C" hand-cut in the stones.

A9 - Linney or Malinda Compton, daughter of Aquilla, Sr. and Elizabeth Compton, was born 23 July 1780 Orange County, North Carolina. She was one of the original members of the Lynches Creek Primitive Baptist Church in Caswell County when it was organized in 1799. She is mentioned in the minutes of that church in October 1820.
She married John Ward, Jr. 15 March 1809 Orange County, with Sutton Ward as bondsman and J. Taylor, clerk, as a witness. We find notation made in the church minutes in June 1827, thus: "John Ward and wife Linna and daughter, Casander joined by letter. In list of members made in 1856 it states Linea Ward is dead.
Deed Book 20--page 80 Orange County (Deed of Trust):
This indenture made 29 March 1820 between Thomas Compton of CasweIl County and John Ward, Jr. and his wife Lency Ward of Orange County: -- that John Ward, Jr. for $83 due on notes with interest, which he owes Thomas Slade, merchant of Caswell County has this day sold for $1.00 to Thomas Compton -- our part of the land belonging to the estate of Aquilla Compton, deceased, which we suppose to be 40 or 41 acres when divided.
Witnesses: Signed: John Ward
Jno. Campbell Linna Ward

Thomas Slade
In a letter dated 26 September 1880, Apple Grove, Morgan County, Alabama, Monroe Compton wrote a friend, Lauater Wear, and states that his aunt was named Linna. She married John Ward and went to Tennessee before he could remember seeing her. We have no evidence this is true, as we find her death listed among members of the Lynches Creek Church in 1856 in North Carolina. Only known child: B52-Casander.
A10 - John Compton, son of Aquilla, Sr. and Elisabeth Compton, was born 14 December 1782 Orange County, North Carolina. Since he was not married until he was 42 years of age, we feel he remained at home with his mother until her death in 1820.
John married Jeany "Jane" Faddis, daughter of Andrew Faddis, 14 March 1824 in Orange County, with John Compton as bondsman and J. Taylor as witness. This bondsman, John Compton, was probably a nephew. Jeany Faddis was born 7 July 1800 in North Carolina.
John and Jane Compton are found in the 1850 U.S. Census of Alamance County, North Carolina. It is believed they lived in Orange County at the time, and the census taker over-stepped the line, as Alamance was taken from Orange in 1848. Thus:

John Compton died 1862 in Orange County -- (reference -- Compton Family Bible, held by Lottie Compton McDowell). His place of burial has not been located in North Carolina.
After the death of John, and the loss of her son, Albert, in the Confederate Army during the War Between the States, Jane removed to Orange County, Indiana to join her two sons who had migrated earlier to Indiana. She brought her two daughters, Elizabeth Jane and Malinda, arriving there in 1865. She brought a great deal of Confederate money, which proved to be worthless. Jane Compton died 29 January 1875 in Orange County. She is buried in an unmarked grave in Union Chapel Cemetery near Orleans, Indiana.
Children of John and Jane Faddis Compton: B53-Elizabeth Jane; B54-James Franklin; B55-Albert A.; B56-William; B56-Malinda Jane.
A11 - Solomon Compton, son of Aquilla, Sr. and Elizabeth Compton, was born 8 February 1785 Orange County, North Carolina. He married Hannah Ward 30 January 1811 Orange County, with Alfred Compton as bondsman. She was born about 1795 in North Carolina. Solomon was received as a member of Lynches Creek Baptist Church in October 1802 and Hanna was received as a member of the same church the third Saturday in October 1813, and baptized the following Sunday. Item found in the minutes of the church, "Solomon Compton informs the church 3 September 1814, that he had been drinking too freely, but gave satisfaction."
Solomon served in the war of 1812 in Captain James Graham's Company of the Infantry, 5th Regiment of the North Carolina Militia, from 28 November 1814 to 10 February 1815, when he died serving near Norfolk, Virginia. He was paid eight dollars per day.
Sale of Solomon's estate was made 9 December 1815 with letters of administration issued to Levy Compton, as follows:
Letter of administration of estate of Solomon Compton:
Know all men by these presents, that we Levi Compton and Thomas Compton are held and firmly bound unto Thomas Clancy, esquire, the chairman of the county of Orange and state of North Carolina for the time being, in the just and full sum of one-hundred pounds for the true payment of which we bind ourselves this 27th day of February 1818.
The condition of the above obligation is such that, the above Levi Compton, Administrator of all goods and chattels of Solomon Compton, deceased, do make a true and perfect inventory of all goods and chattels of the said deceased, which may come into his hands and possession of the said Levi Compton, and further do make a true and just account of his administration and shall deliver or pay to such person or persons as the same shall become due.

An inquiry from the North Carolina Archives reports the printed Muster Roll of the Soldiers of 1812 from North Carolina included Erasmus, Alfred and Jeremiah, who served in the Second Regiment of the Orange County Militia detached to serve under Generals Stokes, Slade and Pearson.
Tamson's claim #36656 was rejected because ''Jeremiah’s name was not on the rolls of the United States. She asked for a rehearing 10 November 1883 and stated she was now 88 years old. She asked that her mail be directed to Pigeon Forge, Sevier County, Tennessee. Again, in another letter she asked that her mail be sent to W. V. Compton, Gatlinburg, Sevier County, Tennessee, stating he was a son of hers with whom she now lived.

My children at home are small and living without a woman in the home, with a parcel of children is hard. James lives 30 or 35 miles below Knoxville on Bull's Run. Mary lives at Strawberry Plains, six miles from me. Susan lives in sight of me."
Mangum married Nancy Boles 27 November 1870 in Knox County. We find Mangum in the 1880 Soundex, Volume 18, Sheet 15, line 5 in Knox County, Tennessee, thus:

He married Elizabeth Johnson Flack, daughter of James E. and Mary "Polly" Compton Flack, 24 November 1850 in Greenville County, South Carolina. She was born 15 August 1829 probably in North Carolina.
Monroe left South Carolina, with his wife and an infant daughter in 1852. After six weeks of travel, with their belongings in a covered wagon drawn by oxen, and camping by the wayside at night, they arrived in North Alabama. For some time, probably one crop season, they resided in Marshall County, about three miles south of Union Grove. After that season, they removed to Morgan County, near Apple Grove, near the head of Cotaco Valley. Apple Grove at that time was a community center, having a postoffice, grist mill, a general store, blacksmith shop, and a licensed distillery. Monroe was employed in the distillery. He then moved northeast of Apple Grove about two and one-half miles, and homesteaded land of 160 acres on the point of Brindley Mountain.
The family attended the Old Liberty Church, which was a Church of Christ, situated at the foot of Watson Mountain. Monroe had become affiliated with the Baptist Church in his youth, but later became a staunch and devout member of the Church of Christ.
During the War Between the States, Monroe was detailed to the Nitre and Mining Bureau #8 and 9 under William Gabbot. He was assigned to the Hughes Cave to make saltpeter. This was near his home in Morgan County. He was discharged April 1865. In January 1910, he applied for a pension (Application #22245 CPA).
An interesting letter written by Monroe Compton to Lauater Wear 26 September 1880:
Dear friend or cousin:
I received a letter from you September 21st, claiming me as your cousin. If I have any connections of your name, I do not know them. I guess you are mistaken in the man, although you may be of kin to me. My knowledge of my connections on my father's side is very limited, never having seen any of them, that I can remember. My father came from Person County, North Carolina. Left there in 1852, and I have been living here ever since. I’ll give you some of my fore-parents names, as far as I know.
My father’s name was Norris Compton. He had five brothers and one sister that I know of, namely, Levi, Rosey (Eramus) John, Thomas and William. My aunt was named Linna and she married John Ward and went to Tennessee before I can recollect seeing any of them. My grandfather Compton was Aquilla and my grandmother was a Norris before she married.
My father had three wives, his first was a Marsh and second and third were Watsons and I am one of the last set of children. My mother’s name was Elizabeth Watson, so I have give you their lineage far enough for you to know whether we are related or not. I have six brothers and nine sisters and have not seen any of them since 1852. They all live back in the old country. Wishing you all happiness and success.
