Grantham Homestead in Grantham, North Carolina

Grantham Homestead in Grantham, North Carolina
  
The pink hue is from the way the sun was hitting the roof through the trees.

“This is a picture of the Grantham Farmhouse that I took about 2012, when the Littletons, the last Grantham descendant family to own the homestead, still lived there.  It brought back many fond memories of the Thanksgiving holidays when we would travel from Pennsylvania to the Goldsboro / Grantham  area to spend time with our relatives. Nothing but fond memories from late 1960’s to early 1970’s spending time with Great Aunt Dessie Grantham who lived at the farmhouse, my grandmother Sudie Grantham Jones, Uncle Ralph Grantham, Aunt Edna Francis Gossard, and of course my cousins Linda West and Vicky Gossard.” by Daniel (Dan) Grantham Jones.
 
This home, where Gideon and Bettie lived in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s was built by Hiram Grantham, an ancestor of Gideon as discussed in the following article.
 
[The below is an excerpt from History of Wayne County, by Ruth Grantham Parker]
 
One of Solomon’s sons was Hiram Grantham.  He was born Jan 9^th 1817 and married Abby Penelope Bizzel born Jan 21, 1823, the daughter of Jessie Bizzel and Abigail Jinette. 

Hiram and Abby were married 1839.  They had 9 children, Sarah, David, Marshall P, Hettie, Amariah, Silas, Jessie, William and Gideon, Hiram was a member of Masonic Lodge 125 from 1852 to 1872.

Hiram operated a country store at the crossroads in Grantham, known thru the years as Grantham Store.  He built a fine home for the times across the road from the store which
still stands today.  It was been recently purchased by David and Ann Littleton.  David is great great grandson of Hiram.  The home still retains much of it original beauty. [More of this except is on the history post]

History of the Grantham Family in Grantham. North Carolina
 
[The below is an excerpt from History of Wayne County, by Ruth Grantham Parker]
 
One of Solomon’s sons was Hiram Grantham.  He was born Jan 9^th 1817 and married Abby Penelope Bizzel born Jan 21, 1823, the daughter of Jessie Bizzel and Abigail Jinette.

Hiram and Abby were married 1839.  They had 9 children, Sarah, David, Marshall P, Hettie, Amariah, Silas, Jessie, William and Gideon, Hiram was a member of Masonic Lodge 125 from 1852 to 1872.

Hiram operated a country store at the crossroads in Grantham, known thru the years as Grantham Store. He built a fine home for the times across the road from the store which still stands today.  It was been recently purchased by David and Ann Littleton.  David is great-great grandson of Hiram.  The home still retains much of it original beauty.

The stage coach from Fayetteville to Goldsboro stopped at Hiram’s store to feed and water the horses, and he also served meals to the passengers.  Hiram was tax collector, ran the farm, a liquor still (which was legal) and a turpentine still.  The upper story of the store was used as a lodge and the Methodist church.  The store served as the post office.
 
Although the old store was burned down and replaced there remains even today a store at the crossroads still run by descendants of Solomon.

Hiram died without a will and estate was divided by 3 men appointed by the court, DH Bridges, Richard Manly and W.H. Hood.  His sons and daughters were given farms, and custom of the day his wife Abby got “One Years Provision”: 12 head of fat pigs, 50 barrels of corn, 500LBs of lint cotton, 2500lbs of fodder for a total value of $300.

Abby lived at the family house until she died. Hiram died June 18 1877 and Abby died May 18 1898.  Both are buried on the family farm now owned by David Littleton.

Gideon Grantham, the youngest son of Hiram, married Elizabeth [Bettie] Virginia Hudson.  He was the register of deeds from 1916 until his death in 1925.  His daughter Dessie than filled that position until December 1932. Dessie also taught school at Falling Creek Academy.  Gideon gave land at the crossroads at Grantham for the school which up until that time was Falling Creek Academy, but was renamed Grantham School in his honor for the donation.  The new school opened in 1924.  It was of brick construction and remained in service until 1978 when it was replaced by a new building. 

Gideon had 10 children, 4 of whom died in infancy.  His only living son was a medical doctor and practiced in Oakland Ca, where his wife Marion and 3 children still live.  Gideon’s girls were named Dessie, Gertie, Sudie, Alice and Edna Bryner.

This photo was taken at our 1981 reunion which took place at the Turkey Community Building in Turkey, North Carolina. This was the first year that Family of Bettie appeared in a photo at the Reunion. Our Coleman Jarred (Jart) & Mary Jane Warrick Family Reunion at that time, and until about 2010, was commonly called the Jart Hudson Family Reunion. During his lifetime, even on legal documents such as death certificates, Coleman Jarred was usually referred to simply as Jart Hudson.

A football player in high school and college, he remained an active person who enjoyed playing tennis, racquetball, and golf, as well as games like cribbage, dominoes, and shuffleboard. He was a devoted Red Sox fan. He appreciated good food, red wine, and the company of friends. He enjoyed reading, travel, movies, theater, and all kinds of music from Opera to Country. He loved to discuss issues, to be active in his community, and more than anything, to spend time with and to support his family. Though thoroughly unpretentious, he was a remarkable individual who wanted his life to make a difference. And so it did. His caring, his great sense of humor, and his wisdom endeared him to his students, friends, and family, and made time with him meaningful and unforgettable.

He is survived by his wife of 25 years Edna Quinn of Portland, ; his first wife Sue Erskine of Salisbury, Md.; three children, Peter and his wife Kim of South Bristol, ME, Jeff and his wife Kathy of Salisbury, Md., and Jennifer of Lambertville, N.J.; six grandchildren, Chauncey, Carly, and Caleb of South Bristol, Joshua and Jacob of Salisbury, and Thomas of Lambertville; a sister, Judy and her husband Gordon, of Clermont, Fla.; and many cousins, nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his mother and father and two sisters, Patricia and Mary.

The family would like to thank his cousin Barbara Peters, VNA Home Health & Hospice, and Hospice of Southern Maine and the Gosnell Memorial Hospice Home for their care during his most difficult days. Special thanks also to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Gibson Pavilion at Maine Medical Center, and Maine Center for Cancer Medicine.

Memorial services will be held on Monday, August 8 at 11 a.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, 612 Main St., in Westbrook and Saturday, Sept. 10 at 1l a.m. at Wicomico Presbyterian Church, in Salisbury, Md. To sign Tom's guestbook, friends are invited to visit www.funeralalternatives.net. (Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram on June 26,

B. J. Quinn - Celebration of Life (1)

BJ was a hoot! – Vicky Dessie Littleton Parker


I really miss her. We’d watch Jeopardy together a lot and she was my true and loyal Redskins Buddy (even when they were the worst team in the league, lol)!  - Barbara Ann Orange Brand


 I’m in northern VA, very close to DC, and she’d come over often.  – Barbara Ann Orange Brand


Mama would delay dinner to watch Jeopardy. We'd say, "Alex can I wait for dinner for Double Jeopardy?" [Alex Trebek, was the host of Jeopardy, a television game show] - Rusden (Russ) Yet Quinn


Love and miss Aunt B.J.!!!! - Melanie Rae Quinn Stockdale


Hi there!
We are missing BJ lots over here in Ireland and she would have adored to hang out with her great grandson Leo Jay who turned 2 last July. -  Fiona Clare (nee Heffernan) Quinn
 

The memorial service for BJ was just beautiful.  Toots (Edna) gave a wonderful tribute to her.  Jerry Kornegay shared special memories of her also. BJ was such a special person, and she loved her family and family history.  Vickie Parker was so sweet to video for us. Our thanks also go out to Reverend Weeks and his wife (new owners of Grantham House) for hosting us. They were especially thoughtful and kind in letting us tour the house once again. It is a wonderful house!! - Kathy Elizabeth Hood Thornton

Comments about Her Granparents by Barbara Ann Orange Brand

Leon and Alice [grandparents of Barbara] both lived with us [after their children had left the nest] --- Mom got divorced when I was around two years old [1956], so Alice took care of me and my brother John when my mother went to work.  I always thought of Alice as my second mother.  And Leon....always sitting in a chair perfectly doing the New York Times crossword puzzle (he was a brilliant man) and expertly playing his guitar and singing in his incredible voice.....Mom said he played on the radio in NC. - Barbara Ann Orange Brand
