Nathan Deaton was born b 1766 at North Carolina.1 He was the son of Captain William Deaton. Nathan Deaton married Sarah Knight?2 Nathan Deaton died c 1832.3
When Jason Deyton prepared his monograph on his family in the late 1960s, he had the use of extensive notes from Mr. W. G. Slagle, his first cousin. Their correspondence on the subject had begun at least as early as 1949 and Slagle had contacted many family members. "According to W. G. Slagle, deceased, a first cousin of mine, Nathan Deyton (Deaton) was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Knight of Wake County, N.C. and the following family resulted: Thomas b. 1800, John 1803, William 1805, Elijah 1807, Rebecca 1809, Nancy 1811, Sina 1812 or 1813, and Basil Lee June 21 1814. The last named was my grandfather."4
I will now quote Jason Deyton at length. Jason Basil Deyton (1894 - 1971), native of Mitchell County, wrote his UNC Master's Thesis, A History of the Toe River Valley to 1865, in 1931. He spent his career in public schools, living for a time in Chatham County, where he was able to obtain materials on his early family history. His knowledge of the history of this time and place certainly shows in his writing.
"Nathan Deaton, Heir Apparent
"According to the Census of 1790, Nathan Deaton was then living in Burke County. Born in Wake, he probably came with the family to Chatham County when around 10 or 12 years of age. The first reference to him in the public records is dated November 13, 1786. This was the occasion of his selling a boundary of land containing 300 acres, the same land lying on Cedar Creek in the southeast corner of Chatham County, with a further description that is identical with that for the 300 acre tract granted to William Deaton which was later sold by Sheriff Griffith under the provisions of the confiscation acts. Other references to him are dated June 29, 1787 in connection with the sale of two 200-acre tracts, the combined descriptions of which coincide exactly with that granted to William Deaton, and which was also sold at auction by Sheriff Griffith. In these transactions he disposed of the entire estate of William Deaton, deceased, as follows:
"To John Powers, 300 acres, Consideration 10 lbs.
"To William Needham, 200 acres, Consideration 80 lbs.
"To James Deaton, 200 acres, Consideration 50 lbs.
"The deed conveying the 200 acres to James Deaton was signed also by Margaret Deaton.
"There is no record in the office of the Registrar of Deeds of Chatham County showing that Nathan and Margaret ever owned these lands. However, the purchasers must have had knowledge of the means by which they had acquired the property, and were fully satisfied that title from them would be valid. The problem here is to determine the method by which Nathan and Margaret had acquired the lands, whether by purchase or by inheritance. It seems necessary, therefore, to consider certain practices which developed or prevailed with respect to confiscated property.
"In the first place, families of deceased or absent Tories, were often taken advantage of by unscrupulous individuals who filed grossly exaggerated or false claims against the husband's property. In such suite/[s/] judgement would issue without contest since the defendant could not be present to contest the claim. Alexander Morrison in nearby Moore County, after losing his plantations at Cross Hill and Richland Creek complained that 'only these in the county who will swear a debt, whether true or false, will get any property arrested and sold, as was my case when my property was sold for a debt that never existed.'
"While such injustices could not be prevented so long as the confiscation acts remained in effect, their enforcement became increasingly unpopular. Failing to secure their repeal, men of good will attended the sales of confiscated property, discouraged the submission of bids and, acting as agents for the families affected, purchased the 'arrested' property for them, sometimes at a nominal cost. It should be noted that William's property had brought perhaps less than one third of actual value, which suggests that Nicholas Nall and John Powers were acting as agents for Nathan and Margaret when they purchased the property. If this were the case, other heirs, if there were any, would have lost any claim they may have had on the property.
"Court proceedings in Chatham county were conducted in a manner similar to those followed in surrounding counties.
"As a rule, a commission was appointed to take possession of the confiscated estates in the county, and the families of deceased Tories were allowed enough of the husband's property for their maintenance, if not for humanitarian reasons, certainly to prevent them from becoming a public charge. For example, the widow of the deceased William McLoud of Moore county was allowed for her maintenance '200 acres of land, 16 head of cattle and the small household furniture she now has in her possession'. In another case, the court ordered that the whole of the estate which James Muse died seized of be restored to Charity Muse and children, the same being no more that sufficient for their support.' [sic -- unmatched quote mark] It is known that John Ramsey, John Nall and Nial Scurlock served on the commission in Chatham County, but the record of their activities has not been found.
"It should be noted, too, that the General Assembly enacted into law in 1783, the 'Act of Pardon and Oblivion' which extended pardon, if not oblivion, to most Tories. It seems likely that William was entitled to pardon under the provisions of this act. If so, the 1782 sale would have been invalid, and the property would have reverted to his heirs.
"The fact that Nathan and Margaret in some manner had come into possession of William's entire estate of 700 acres, no more, no less; that they sold it to three different people who did not question their right to sell it; that there was no instrument of record showing that Nathan and Margaret had acquired the estate by purchase; that according to the prevailing practice in surrounding counties, widows and children of deceased Tories in Chatham County would also have been allowed enough of the husband's property for maintenance; that William Deaton was probably entitled to pardon under the provisions of the 'Act of Pardon and Oblivion' enacted tn 1783; that John Powers was willing to pay Nathan 30 pounds to get him to sign over to him his interest in the 300 acre tract which he seemingly had acquired in fee by virtue of the sale on May 10, 1782; these facts considered singly or in combination, tend to identify Nathan and Margaret as William's heirs, William as his son and Margaret as his widow or daughter."5
Mr. Deyton was apparently unaware that Margaret signed that deed as wife of Nathan Deaton.
"This indenture made the Twenty-Nineth day of June on the year of Our Lord Christ, one Thousand seven hundred and eighty-seven between Nathan Deaton of Chatham County of State of North Carolina of the one part and James Deaton of the Same County and State of the other part that for and in consideraton of Fifty pounds specie to him the Said Nathan Deaton in hand paid before the sealing and delivery of these presents ... all that tract or parcel of land lying in Chatham County in the State aforesaid containing two hundred acres more or less and bounded as follows. Beginning at the stake or some tree that may be marked hereafter on Cedar Creek where the old original line crossed the said creek thence beginning west to a Hickory a corner tree thence turning and running So two Hundred and fifty-three poles to a post oak, thence turning along the said creek with the courses thereof to the first station or beginning and also the reversion and reversions remainder and remainders, rents and services thereof and also all estate rights, title interest claim and comand whatsoever of him said Nathan Deaton ..... unto the said James Deaton .... in witness whereof the Said Nathan Deaton and Margret his wife hath hath hereunto set their hands of[sic] seals the day of the year above written" Witnesses were John Powers (by mark X) and Windsor Pearce. Nathan Deaton (by mark N) and Margret Deaton (by mark X) signed. The deed was proved by Oath of John Powers in Chatham County Court, Feb. Term 1788.6
Nathan Deaton appeared on the census of 1790 at Burke County, North Carolina, as follows: He was living in the 10th company of Burke County, N. C., listed immediately after the families of Thomas Night and Thomas Night, Jr. "Neathn" had 1 male over 16 and two females in his family.7
Nathan Deaton appeared on the census of 1800 at Buncombe County, North Carolina, as follows: 2 males under 10, 1 male 26-44 and 1 female 26-44.8

Nathan Deaton appeared on the census of 1820 at Buncombe County, North Carolina, as follows: 1 male under 10, 1 male 16-18, 1 male 16-25, 1 male 45 and over, 1 female under 10, 2 females 10-15, 1 female 26-44 (7 people, total),just preceding Elijah Deaton with Eldridge Deaton a few lines later.10

In the 3rd Regiment of Buncombe County, along with John, Elisha, Tho., John, and Eldridge Deaton and preceding the families of Wm. Deaton and Dobson Deaton, is listed that of Nathan Deaton with 1 male 10-14, 1 male 20-30, and 1 male 60-70 as well as 1 female 15-20 and 1 female 60-70.13
The will of Nathan Deyton was probated in Jan 1833 by the oath of Stephen Morgan. Eldridge Deyton and Thomas Deyton were executors. The inventory of Nathan's estate was taken in April, 1833.14
"28 Jun 1834 .. Eldridge Dayton & Thomas Dayton executors of Nathan Deyton dec'd .. of Yancey Co.. to John Edwards of Yancey Co.. $50.50 .. So. side of Main Toe River adj Thos.

Captain William Deaton

| Last Edited | 8 Jun 2017 |
One source summarizes the facts of William Deaton's life this way:
"WILLIAM DEATON was born about 1736 in Henrico County, Virginia and died September 13, 1781 at the Battle of Cane Creek in Chatham County, North Carolina. William married SARAH JACKSON, the daughter of Matthew Jackson and Anne Dunavant. Sarah Jackson was the older sister of Obedience Jackson, who married James Deaton, Sr.
"William served under Col. David Fanning, in the "Loyal Militia of Randolph and Chatham Counties" as a Captain of Chatham County. William participated in the Battle of Betli's Bridge on Drowning Creek and was later killed at Cane Creek (Battle of Lindley's Mill) in an ambush by General Butler.
"Children of William Deaton and Sarah Jackson were:
"1.) JAMES DEATON -- born about 1759 in Wake County, N. C. May have died an infant.
"2.) NATHAN DEATON-- born 1760 in Wake County, N. C[.] and died in 1834 in Yanc[e]y County, N. C. Married Sarah Knight, daughter of John Knight.
"3.) 'DAUGHTER DEATON' -- born about 1746 and died as an infant.
"4.) MATTHEW DEATON -- born February 14, 1768 in Cumberland County, N.C. and died before Nov. 7, 1822 in Moore County, N. C. Matthew married Margaret in 1783.
"5.) JOHN D. DEATON, SR. -- born 1769 in Wake County, N. C. and died in 1848 in Breathitt County, Kentucky. John D., Sr. married Isabella Brantley in Lancaster County, South Carolina.
"6.) LEVI DEATON, SR. -- born in 1774 in Moore County, N. C. and died in 1842 in Moore County. Married Mary Catherine Vasser about 1795.
"7.) ELDRIDGE Deyton -- (Deaton) -- born 1775 and died about 1840. Eldridge married Sophia D. Dobson in 1795. Change in name.
"8.) WILLIAM EBBY DEATON, SR. -- Born 1776 in N. C. and died Oct. 5, 1844 in Hall County, Ga. womanola@AOL.com
"9.) BURRELL DEATON -- born 1777 in Chatham County, N. C. and died March 15, 1854 in Moore County. Married Patricia Melton in 1800.
"10.) MOLLY DEATON -- born 1778 in Chatham County, N.C.
"11.) MARGARET DEATON -- born 1779 in Chatham County, N.C. and died in Yanc[e]y County, N.C."
12.) ELIJAH DEATON -- born December 1781 in Chatham County, N.C. (3 months after the death of his father) and died March 30, 1855 in Oconee County, S. C. Married S. Elizabeth Dossett."1
This web site is now gone but several others deal with Deaton ancestry2. The challenge of providing documentation for these statements remains. It has been a general assumption of Deaton researchers that this family came to North Carolina from Virginia, where earlier men of the name are found, but I know of no documentation linking Capt. William to that family, to any of these children except Nathan, nor any proof of his age. A family website by Charlotte Smithdeal links all this and more into "Descendants of Thomas Deaton", b. about 1475 in England.3
In 1778, William Deaton entered two tracts of land, totalling 700 acres, in Chatham County and presumably settled his family there. However, by the spring of 1781, the activity of two opposing armies in the Carolinas (General Cornwallis for the British and General Greene for the Colonists) had created great turmoil among his neighbors and divided the people of this region among themselves. "As might be expected, the divisions among the people led to tragic consequences. They resulted in a civil war which was waged most cruelly and with enduring bitterness." Many of the men in Deaton's area were Highland Scot and were loyal to Britain.
On 15 June 1781, Tories assembled at Cox's Mill, six or seven miles from Deaton's house, urged David Fanning to seek a commission and to lead them. On 5 July that commission was granted at Wilmington; on 12 July Fanning returned to Cox's Mill; on 15 July, he assumed command and appointed his captains, one of whom was William Deaton. On 18 July, Fanning lead his men in a raid on Pittsboro; on 5 Aug he captured Col. Phil Alston at the "House in the Horseshoe"; on 12 Sept., Gov. Burke was captured in a raid on Hillsboro and, on 13 September Fanning was seriously wounded and William Deaton was killed in the battle of Cane Creek or Lindley's Mill.4
Mike Deaton collected several additional details in a post on genforum:
"Hi E, Mike Deaton here from Cave Spring, GA
"I have a William Ebby Deaton Sr in my database but very little informaton but I do have some notes from an unidentified author about his dad, William Deaton/Sarah Jackson. Here they are:
William was sued by his brother John for debts owed to John and "for the poor of Raleigh's Parish." The suit, which was dismissed for "reasons of the Court", perhaps was generated partly by friction between John, who supported the fledgling feelings of American independence and William, who clearly backed the British Crown.
"Captain William Deaton also fought at Lindley's Mill, 26 miles from Hillsborough, North Carolina. William Deaton was a local Chatham Co., N.C. land owner, holding property on Bear Creek, southwest of Chapel Hill. The Deatons were old time English colonists, having been in America since the 1640's. The inhabitants of North Carolina were more partial to the English King than any other colony. Part of Williams's land was confiscated after the war.
"September 13, 1781. Colonel McNeil was ambushed at Cane Creek (Lindley's[ ]Mill) by General Butler. Fanning secured his prisoners at Spring Friends Meetinghouse, then flanked the Whigs and forced Gen. Butler's militia to retreat. Fanning was severely wounded in the left arm. The battle lasted 4 hurs[hours] and was one of the largest of the war in North Carolina. 250 men were killed, captured, or wounded of the forces engages[sic].
"One family report says that Capt. William was a "giant devoted to the Church of England." Another report says he was a "pegleg cobbler". Another says he died gloriously in battle. And another report says Capt. William was a Tory captured at Cane Creek and executed by "Whitehorse Harry" Lee's Cavalry. It would seem that the "pegleg" report is a fabrication.
"From Rob Thornton... 98-03-23.
On the 5th of July, 1781, David Fanning, Esq., was appointed to be Colonel of the Loyal Militia of Randolph and Chatham Counties. This appointment, signed by J.H.Craigg, Major, Commanding the Kings Troops and Given at Wilmington, authorized Fanning to grant commissions as necessary for his different companies.
"On the 1st of September, 1781, William Deaton was one of several men commissioned as Captains for the companies of Chatham County. A copy of the oath was included in Fanning's narrative:
By: David Fanning Esq., Colonel of the Loyal Militia of North Carolina
"To: William Deaton5
"Greetings----------
"Having received sufficient testimony of your loyalty and zeal for his Majesties Service, and relying on your courage and good conduct, I do hereby appoint you to be Captain of a Company in the District of Chatham County. You are therefore diligently and carefully to discharge the duty of such, obeying all orders and directions which you may receive from time to time from any superior officers in his Majesties service and all others, the inferior officers of his Majesties subjects of that and every other company are directed and requested to obey you as Captain of said Company.

"This information was taken from 'A Journal of Col. David Fanning's Transactions During the Late War in America, from the year 1775 - - - commencing 1st of May until the Peace' This writing is a first hand account of certain activities and has been researched along with other writings of the time which corroborate these accounts.
"William Deaton is only mentioned this one time and it relates that he was killed in battle at the Battle of Lindley's Mill.
"Deaton participated in the Battle of Betli's Bridge6 on Drowning Creek. This was the 1st of September 1781, and was a serious Whig defeat and a stunning victory for the Loyalist. This battle is actually recorded as the Battle of McPhaul's Mill and lead directly to the raid on Hillsborough. On the 12th of September, 1781, Fannings's Regiment conducted the raid on Hillsborough. This is considered Fanning's most daring exploit. In this raid, two other regiments joined in and assisted in killing 15 rebels, wounding another 20, and capturing more than 200, including Governor Burke. On the 13th of September, 1781, Fanning marched on to Lindleys Mill to attack General Butler and his party of Rebels. The attack on Lindleys Mill was a devastating 4 hour battle that continued until Butler and his Rebels retreated. Fannings lost 27 men killed, including Captain William Deaton, 60 men wounded so badly they couldn't be moved (presumably they too also died), and another 30 slightly wounded.
"This battle was fought by the 950 men in Fanning's[sic] Regiment and the unknown number of men in the two regiments that had joined Fanning.
Respectfully submitted, Your most humble servant, Rob (Thornton), Private, Colonel David Fanning's North Carolina Loyalist Militia re enactor. [So, a modern person.]

"Confiscation of William's Estate
"Captain William had come to Chatham County by 1778, for in that year he entered two tracts of land, one containing 400 acres and the other 300, the two adjoining and lying on Cedar Creek in the southwest corner of the county. Though he had possession of these lands, the grants were not issued until 1782, some six months after his death. Alexander Martin, who served as governor of the state from 1782 to 1784, signed the grants.
"Immediately following the registration of the grants in the office of the register of deeds at Pittsboro one William Searey, a large land owner in Randolph County, filed a damage claim against the estate of the said 'William Deaton, deceased, having attached himself to the enemy of the state and of the United States, and his estate thereby being forfeited.' Since the confiscation acts of 1777 and 1779, were resorted to as a means of collection, it appears the damages, whatever their nature, had resulted from a raid or raids into Randolph County during the previous year. Under these laws, a Tory was not only a criminal who should answer for his own acts; he was also liable for any damage that might be inflicted by his military group. In the trial which was held at Asheboro, Randolph County, Searcy won a judgement against the estate in the amount of 81 pounds and 5 shillings, and the lands were ordered to be sold to satisfy the judgement.
"Since the lands lay in Chatham County, the Court's order was transferred to Pittsboro for execution. The sale was conducted at public auction by Sheriff Roger Griffith on May 10, 1782. The 400-acre tract was auctioned first and was awarded to Nicholas Hall who had submitted a bid of 41 pounds and 5 shillings. Since this bid did not bring enough to satisfy the judgement, Griffith then sold the 300 acre tract to John Powers who had made the highest bid of 12 pounds and 1 shilling."8
In Chatham Co. Estates Record, 1 box showed Sarah Deaton, 1782, but contained no further information, only a scrap of paper.9
The task of creating a list of children of William Deaton is complicated by the fact that there were no census records at the time and the fact that there was no normal distribution of his estate. The 1790 census of North Carolina lists only four Deaton families -- James of Chatham County, Joseph of Montgomery County, Mathew of Mecklenburg County and "Neathn" of the tenth company of Burke County.10
"Did you notice that James Deaton in Chatham had no adult women in his household, but 5 boys under 16 years of age? I wonder if he were an older son, or brother of William, who was rearing William's children after he was killed in 1781? I would imagine with so few Deatons in N. C. at that time that they were all related in some way. I really lean more toward these four men being brothers of Capt. Wm., despite the fact that I list my Joseph as a possible son of him.11 "
"WILLIAM DEATON was born about 1736 in Henrico County, Virginia and died September 13, 1781 at the Battle of Cane Creek in Chatham County, North Carolina. William married SARAH JACKSON, the daughter of Matthew Jackson and Anne Dunavant. Sarah Jackson was the older sister of Obedience Jackson, who married James Deaton, Sr.

The attraction of finding a connection to Frances Deighton, a "Gateway Ancestor", is significant and all steps along the way must be examined carefully. However, I do feel that Holman has done a very good job of providing the evidence on her ancestry and that these records and conclusions would, by now, have been examined by many people. I have found no published dissents. Problems may still lie in the generations immediately following Frances.
Holman provides this abstract of the will of Frances Williams: "I Frances Williams (widdo Relict of Richard Williams Deceased) of Taunton being of great Age ... Make this my last Will & Testament ... I give my worldly Estate to my son Parmiter to son Nathl Williams his widdow & to son Joseph Williams widdow & to son Benjamin Williams widdow to Each of them twelve pence All the Rest of my Estate ...

John Deighton married Jane Bassett on 12 Apr 1605 at St. Nicholas Church, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, England.2,3 John Deighton died on 16 May 1640.4 He was buried on 19 May 1640 at St. Nicholas, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, England.5
Miss Holman presents much significant information on the Deightons of Gloucester, England, with the hope of identifying the father of John Deighton but was not succesful in that regard.6
John Deighton of the "Cittee of Glociser" wrote his will on 30 Jan 1640 and he gave 5 shillings to "John Deighton my eldest Sonne", ".... Lugge my eldest daughter the sume of five shillings", "my daughter Frances Williams the sume of five shillings", "my daughter Katherin Hagburne the sum of five shillings", and "unto Thomas Deighton my Youngest sonne the sume of five shillings". After that he gave his daughter Damaris Deighton many pieces of land that he either owned or leased and also, finally, "All the rest and residue of my goods cattles and chattles and psonall estate I doe hereby devise and bequeathe unto my said dauther Damaris Deighton and I doe hereby nominate constitute ordaine and appoint my said daughter Damaris to be Executrix of this my last Will and testament."7
John and Jane are recorded in an inscription from St. Nicholas church, Gloucester."Here lie interred the bodies of John Deighton, of this city, gent., and Jane, his wife, daughter to Edward Bassett, of Uley, by whom he had issue, three sons and four daughters. He spent all his time in the study of chirurgery, and attained to great knowledge therein. He died 16 May, 16[40], and she the 23 April, 1631."8
This inscription had been transcribed earler by Ralph Bigland and published in 1819.9,10
" A number of instalments of the Historical, Monumental, and Genealogical Collections relative to the County of Gloucester were published between 1786 and 1794 (completing two volumes, dated 1791 and 1794), and further instalments appeared sporadically through the 19th century. However, the project remained unfinished until a definitive edition was published in four volumes by the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society between 1989 and 1995."11
Holman quotes a long article on the Deightons of Gloucester, of which I have obtained the following from the original.
"John Deighton, of St Nicholas, Gloucester, chirurgeon, sheriff of the city 1620 and 1624, had 3 sons: John born in 1605, who died in infancy; another of the same name born in 1607, and Thomas; and five daughters: Jane, * Frances, Katherine,* Mary and Damaris, so that the inscription in St Nicholas church, copied by Bigland, is not quite accurate. A letter is extant in the Harleian MSS. which John Deighton wrote about 1636 to the editors of Foxes' Acts and Monuments to correct an error of Foxe's, respecting the martyrdom of Horne at Newent. In it he says he knew Foxe who died in 1587. This letter has been published by Nicholls (Camden Society). ... footnote: "*Jane married John Lugg, who came of a very numerous and influential civic family in Gloucester. Katherine married Samuel Hagbourne at St. Nicholas Church, 26 Dec., 1633. The three sisters, Jane, Frances, and Katherine, with their respective spouses, sailed for New England, 1636-7, where descendants of the two first named live at the present."12,13
