Micajah Haworth is my 6th great grandfather. He was born 18 Nov 1743 Hopewell City, Virginia. His parents were Stephanus Haworth and Rachel Beeson. About 1763 Micajah and his brother George moved south from Opekon River, Virginia to North Carolina nearby a stream called Wright's Creek near Rich Fork and Abbot's Creek. They stop for the night at John McCurry's place. Micajah stayed and worked for John McCurry. His brother George moved on to outside of of Rowan Co. North Carolina.
Micajah married Mary McCurry in 1763 in North Carolina. She was the daughter of John McCurry. Looking at the Quaker record below, it seems that the McCurry's were not Quakers at the time that Micajah and Mary were married.
Here is another Quaker record of Micajah Haworth marriage, stating it was with someone what wasn't a part of their society. 30 Jun 1764 at New Garden Monthly Meeting in Guildford North Carolina
30 Mar 1771 it looks like Micajah presented papers condemning his misconduct on going out in marriage.
Accord to the family bible Micajah and Mary had at least 2 children:
John Haworth (1765-1814) * My 5th great grandfather.
Mary Haworth Wright (1787-1860)
Micajah ran a small mill, off of one of the streams that flow through his land.
