KERSEY IKERSIE The surname Kersey is generally accepted as universally
Lumbee. The surnames of Kersey (Coursey) and Braboy are traced by
DeMaree (1993, p. 29) from Chowan County, N.C., to Edgecombe County
to Robeson County, to Cheraw District, South Carolina. The Lumbee name
Kersey appeared in Bladen tax lists of 1760, 1763, 1769, 1773, 1774 and
the 1790 census located south of Drounding Creek, south of Ashpole and on
Bear Swamp. John Kersie patented 100 acres east of Drounding Creek on
Bare [Bear] Swamp "including his cowpen place" 3 May 1760. John Kersy
bought 200 acres from James Johnston 9 Nov. 1773 originally granted to
Benjamin Odom 2 Nov. 1764. This was located in south Robeson and south
of Drounding Creek (Bladen County Deeds, 1738-1779, pp. 444-445). He
owned 150 acres east of Drowning Creek and 3 miles above bear Swamp
near Thomas Starlin at May Term, 1774 (Bladen County Deeds, 1738-1779,
p. 487). Thomas Kersey moved from Edgecombe County to Bladen before
16 Jan. 1765 when he sold land he patented in Edgecombe County 1 March
1743 (Edgecombe County Deed Book C, p. 318). Again, signing with his X
mark, he sold a 120 acre Granville land grant dated 30 April 1750 in
Edgecombe in Bladen 5 Oct. 1774 for 30 pounds (Edgecombe County Deed
Book 2, p. 154). Thomas Kersey, owning one slave, was listed as "mixt
blood" in the 1774 Bladen tax list. He died intestate in Bladen in February,
1778. In a descriptive list of Militia men from Bladen filed by Capt. Robert
Raiford, dated 20 Aug. 1782, we know that James Kersey was 5 ft. 9, age
18, a planter, and dark of complexion with brown hair.

The land joined the land of Thomas Kersey. On Dec. 24, 1748 Thomas Parker purchased 100 acres on the south side of the Meherrin River from Thomas Kersey.

So, the Chief Men of The Nottoway were charging rent to the Kersey/Lowrey. They all ended up in Granville, NC for help to Col Eaton, for a time.

1653
Weyanocks fled North Carolina after conflict with the Tuscaroras and settled on the Nottoway River near Courtland, Virginia. The town was known as Warekeck, other dispersed Weyanocks lived around Assamoosick Swamp.

Several hundred Weanock refugees fleeing fighting farther north during the last Powhatan
War moved to land between Blackwater River and Somerton Creek near the Nottoway
River. Moving into a number of settlements around the modern town of Courtland, they
established their principal village at Warekeck in 1653. Weanock people living in and
around Warekeck were periodically attacked by Nansemonds and Tuscaroras at their new
towns. Unable to defend themselves against these assaults, they appealed to Virginian
authorities for help. Demanding that the Weanocks submit to provincial authority,
Virginians subsequently conducted several reprisal raids on behalf of their clients.
Subsequently attacked by Tuscarora and Nottoway warriors in 1681, most Weanocks making
their peace with their neighbors subsequently moved to Nottoway towns sometime around
1693.
English records indicate that at least 700 Meherrin and Nottow

series were marked by silt and sand temper with a gray to light cream/buff color while
Warekeck sherds were constructed with shell temper and had a dark gray to white gray
color (Binford 1965: 78, 83). Binford turns to pre-historical and contact era data to
suggest that the Weanock group, producers of Warekeck ware, originated from near the
James River where shell was readily available as a tempering material;

settle a 5000 acre tract of land at a site in the Southside known as Warekeck from the House of
Burgesses.14 At that point, they were actually living in what is now North Carolina, in territory
claimed by the Tuscaroras, to whom they also paid tribute

For decades, they were essentially trapped in motion, shuffling between the James and the
Roanoke Rivers, finding everywhere more hostility than friendship. By 1653, they had moved
north, finally settling at Warekeck, where they paid tribute in Roanoke to the Nottoways and in
beaver to the English.16

Weyanoke Indians removed from the Potecasi-Wiccacon area back into Virginia about 1655 and rented land from the Nottoway Indians at a place called "Warekeck" on Nottoway River. While here, the Pochiak Indians killed the Weyanoke king in 1663 and, in 1665, the Weyanoke Indians retaliated by killing the Pochiak king and war captain. Then fleeing "Warekeck", they returned to the Potecasi-Wiccacon area where they lived timorously, making little corn, for fear of the Pochiak and Tuscarora Indians.
