 Sikes (Sykes), Joshua, Private, N.C. Militia - Soldier served at the battle of Moore's Creek Bridge under Capt. John DeVane and Col. Alexander Lillington where he helped throw up the breastworks. At that time he was living in Bladen Co., N.C. In N.C. Army Accounts, Vol. V., Bk 180, he received voucher #457 M for 1/3/6 pounds. In the 1784 special census for Sampson Co., Joshua was taxed for 920 acres and 3 free white polls. He did not appear in the 1790 National Census for Sampson. His son John wasappointed to administer the estates of both his father and mother (Joshua and wife Esther) at the Aug 1808 term of Sampson Court. When John made his report to the Court on 13 Feb1809, he stated that his parents estate amounted to 693/1/8 pounds. Son John, born in 1778, married Roda C.A. Herrington. From early New Hanover County records we learned that Joshua Sikes was a planter on the east side of Black River and sold much land in that area before coming to Sampson Co. In these deeds his wife is referred to as Emery. (One source tells that Joshua married Mourning Brown, daughter of the Rev. Edward Brown and that Joshua was an elder of Great Cohera Baptist Church ( Note:Mourning was the wife of Joshua Sikes, son of the Private Joshua Sikes above).
