In every small town there is a woman who is attractive and is not satisfied with being with just one man. Lena enjoyed the attention of other men and like the attention they gave to her. At town dances she would rub up against there legs and tease them, giving her the nickname "leaping Lena". As she would leap from guy to guy. Lena left Harry for another man and at first he thought she would return but, she never did. Harry her husband was very distraught over this and finally took his own life by hanging himself. The family blamed her and at the same time was very upset that Harry would commit suicide over her. Harry was buried in the Cushman family plot and not with the Damon's after Lena was pushed at the last minute to be accountable for her actions that caused this tragedy. They never had any kids. Lena and Harry are buried together in the Damon cemetery.

"As early as 1776, William had purchased land on the Sappony Swamp in Nash Co., NC. On 7 Dec 1778 William III entered 1000 acres of land bordering his brother, John Whiddon [sic], and his father, William Whiddon, Sr. On 14 Oct 1779, his father sold him 100 acres of land on the northwest side of Sappony Swamp for 100 lbs, and on the 10th of November of that year, he received 690 acres from the state of North Carolina, located on the north side of Sappony Creek. This grant was a result of his participation in the Revolutionary War.

We know that after his death, his wife, Mary, was granted land in Tattnall Co., GA as a result of his service during the Revolutionary War. It may be that he is the William "Whiten" of Wilmington District, NC who received a pay voucher for his services. His brother Lott, who also served during the revolution, was living in the Halifax District of NC. Later both were in Edgecombe and Nash Co., NC.

In 1780 William purchased 360 acres in the fork of Sappony Creek, from William Worrell, for 1600 lbs. The fact that he had 1600 lbs. to spend, and that the "Jr." was not affixed to his name, would seem to indicate that his father had passed away. By the time taxes are noted in 1782, William had 1770 acres of land, 2 negroes ages 50 to 60, 2 negroes ages 16 to 40, 3 horses and mules, 20 cattle, and his property is valued at 450 lbs. Considering what he paid for the land originally, it must have devalued considerably; or in the transcriptions of amounts paid for land, someone must have missed a figure. From that point on there are numerous land transactions involving William and his wife, Mary.

William and his brother, Lott, helped keep the road in repair from the Court House to the Tarr River, at or near Edward Clinche's Mill, in 1778; and William served as an assessor in 1779, for which he received 35 lbs. for his years work. Many times he acted as a juror, and also as a patroller of the district under Capt. Hatton. He was appointed Constable in place of Brinkley Gandy during the April Court of 1782, and in January of 1783 was appointed Constable in place of Simon Smith.

In July of 1782 he served as Assessor in Capt. Davenport's District, for which the court agreed to pay each of those serving in that capacity 35 lbs. The pay had diminished considerably, as during the January term of Court, 1782, William was allowed 4000 lbs. for his service as an assessor.

About 1788, William and his brother Noah, sold their land in Nash County, and relocated in Darlington District, South Carolina. William's nephews, Maxwell and James, sons of his brother Lott, also took part in the migration. Land was purchased primarily along the Sparrow Swamp, near the Lynch River, and they became neighbors to the Barwicks.

They remained in Darlington until about 1815, at which time the family moved to Georgia, settling in the Tift County portion of old Irwin County where he farmed until his death in the winter of 1818. Eventually this part of the county was included in Emanuel County. His estate was appraised on 13 Feb 1819 by his son, Eli Whiddon."*

Issac enlisted in the Union Army when he was 13 on September 5, 1861. He lied about his age and told the army he was 18. Before enlisting in the Army he was already working in the coal mines of central Penna. See his brothers notes{Douglas} for more civil war information. He was in Company G, 81st Regiment of the Penna. Infantry volunteers. Both Issac and Douglas names are on the Penna. monument at Gettysburg. He was taken as a prisoner of was on August 24,1864. at Reams Station, Virginia. He was wounded in the thigh at the battle of Sharpsburg Va. on Sept. 17,1862. He re-enlisted Sept. 3, 1863. He was sent to Salisbury N.C. February 13 1865 and admitted to the hospital for diarrhea. He was then taken from there to Richmond, Va. on February. 23, 1865. His records show he was a laborer and age 21 at that time, however he was really only 17. On March 10, 1865 he was released from Coves Wharf and then reported to Camp Parole,Md. He was admitted to the hospital in Division #1 at Annapolis Md. on March 11, 1865 and then sent on to Baltimore Md. There he reported to Wests Building Hospital until March 31st, 1865. He was sent home to do recruiting but there was no record of that and he was actually listed as returned to duty on June 6, 1882.

James was much older than Runette when they got married. She was only 13 when they got married. She was one of the younger children and this was a marriage of convenience for the family. She left him after only one year and returned home (possibly). We never found out about this marriage until she was in her 90's and found out about it from her brother Ernest. Ernest originally thought that Runette had gone to North Adams on her own or with some of her family looking for work in the mills. But James' draft registration card was completed in North Adams in 1918 and lists his closest relative as "Runette Williams". So she probably went to North Adams with James.

The address on the WWI Draft Registration Card for James Talbert Williams is 123 Beaver Street. This is the same address listed for John Clarence Holt on his WWI Draft Registration Card. More evidence that Runette did indeed marry James Talbert Williams.

Williams, James Talbert (I682)
