2- Ltr dtd 1963 from Jennie N. Weeks “I am almost afraid to give you the information that I have on Jesse AYCOCK but we do think we have found the father and grandfather. I am still working on this and there will have to be a connecting record showing that Jessie came from Warren Co. N.C. At any rate there is a Jessie listed there who signed deeds with his father John and his grandfather Richard. When his grandfather died he left a Will giving his grandson Jessie all of his personal estate. This means that he was given the slave and other moveable property while his sons were given his real estate. If Jessie was in Wayne Co. by this time, this is the arrangement that he would probably make in order to remember him. Please don’t build your hopes too high on this but they are definitely in the right time and place to be related to Jessie. One of Jessie’s sons went back into Warren Co. to live. That doesn’t mean a thing. Two of his sons went to Georgia to live. This Richard of Warren and his brothers came from Viriginia as near as we can tell.” Both John & William had land in Wayne Co. in close proximity. From the information in Jennie Week’s ltr “There is a Jessie listed who signs deed with his father John and Grandfather Richard, therefore it looks most probable that Jessie’s father was John.” We have no record listing William as Jessie’s father. (note by Pam Werner)
3. According to Mrs. W.B. Brende’s Bile, San Antonio, TX and B.T. Aycock Bible, Jesse’s first wife was Elizabeth. A FGR shows Elizabeth Wilkinson as Jesse’s first wife.
4. Pam Werner found a Jesse who witnesses John Aycock’s land in Warren Co. 15 May 1789. There is a Richard mentioned in 1789 with a John in Warren Co., N.C.
5. Information from Gerry Hill says Jesse Aycock was born in Prince Georges Co., Virginia. Death date based on will Goldsboro, Wayne County, North Carolina (Research):

Message:Shirley, I’ll give you all that I have on Jesse, Charity and their known children…..Jesse was born in 1747 in Wayne Co. NC and died on Nov. 7, 1822 and he married Charity Piety Bardin in 1771 (I may have given this to you already). Jesse was a successful farmer. Was also in the Revolutionary War. In 1779 he was an owner of 2,353 acres of land in the Great Swamp Township. Jesse and Charity’s known children were: Jesse (Jr.), Benjamin, Ephraim born ca. 1783, Timothy born in 1786, Elais, James (my husband’s direct ancestor and was born in 1744 and died in 1836, Simon born in 1780 and died 11-29-1843 in Wayne Co. and the last one was Solomon. Jesse married a second time to a Patience Newsom and they had one known child named Ann who was born ca. 1789. James and Simon were the Executors of Jesse’s estate which was dated 1823. James, Simon, Timothy Ann all remained in North Carolina and Elias, Jesse, Benjamin, Solomon Ephraim moved to Georgia.
I’ll type for you some info. I got from a family member re: Aycock’s, and it reads: The earliest record we have of the Aycock name in the Colonies is 1664, when Thomas Aycock was brought to this country by John Cogan. In 1678 Thomas Aycock was sued by Thomas Simons in the Charles City County, Virginia, courts for scandalous gossip about his wife. The jury awarded Mr. Simmons 30 pounds of tobacco, but Mr. Simmons had to pay his 3 witnesses 200 pounds of tobacco for three days attendance in court. There are scattered records of the Aycock name from 1720 through 1742 in Virginia and NC. Beginning in 1745, we have records of William Aycock in Northampton and Orange Counties in NC. In 1748 at the time of the Spanish Alarm at Brunswick, John, Thomas, Simon, Charles and William Aycock aare all listed in the John Shearrard Company of North Carolina Militia. The Aycock families who were in the colonies during the Revolution prospered over the next years in spite of the difficulties of the pioneer life. The Aycock families were primarily farming families with large plantations until the Civil War–at least the descendants of James, Richard Jesse. Some of the descendants of Richard, who died in Warren county, NC, in 1789, appear to have been blacksmiths.. Some of the families moved to Miss., Alabama, Louisiana Texas. During the Civil War over 200 Aycock boys men fought for the Confederacy. Shirley, I sure hope this info. helps you.
