[Phil Senter]
National Archives in Washington, D.C.. This is a official claim made by Rebecca for War Widow's pension rights based on Henry's service in the North Carolina Militia during the American Revolutionary War. The record is in quill pen hand script.
On this twenty-sixth day of July A.D. one thousand eight hundred and fifty three personally appeared before me, a Justice of the Peace, within and for the County of Carroll, State of Tennessee, Rebecca Senter, aged eighty-eight years, who, being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on her oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the Act of Congress passed July 4th, 1836:
That she is the widow of Henry Senter, who was a private in the militia in the State of North Carolina and served in the Revolutionary War. He was drafted and served two terms. The first for three months, and was stationed at Moore's Bridge in the State of North Carolina. He served the second tour three months and was stationed at Fayetteville, to protect that place from the Tories. She further declares that she was married to the said Henry Senter in the year Seventeen hundred and seventy one; that her husband, the aforesaid Henry Senter, died on the 27th day of February 1832, and that she has remained a widow ever since that period, as will be more fully appeared by reference to the proof hereto annexed.
(This was accompanied by a witnessing affirmation signed: Wm. Senter & Jency Ann Senter)

Rebecca X Senter
Mark
The government with no explanation denied the claim. There are two possible reasons:
Henry was in the State Militia instead of the regular Army. And that may have disqualified him. Or the statement was judged to be false. Why? The statement is dated 1853 and says Rebecca was then 88 years old. That means she was born in 1764 or 1765. But then it says she married Henry in 1771. She would have been 6 or 7 years old. Henry, born in 1760, would have been 11 years old. Furthermore the first child was not born until 1786. Did they wait years to have their first child, then have five at one and two year intervals? It is more than likely they were married between 1781-85, after the war was over, so Rebecca was not a war widow.

4. | Drury Senter (1.Rebecca1) was born on 25 Sep 1788 in Fayetteville, Cumberland Co., North Carolina; died on 10 Jan 1853 in Grayson Co., Virginia. Notes:
[Phil Senter]
From official records of the Baptist Church:
Drury was born in Fayetteville, Cumberland County, North Carolina on the 25th day of September, 1788. His parents removed with him to Washington County, Virginia about 1792* and there he married on June 6th 1809. In the year 1814 he became a member of the Primitive Baptist Church at St. Clair's Bottom, Virginia and answered the Call of the Lord. In December, 1815 he was licensed to preach in the same church… He laboured as a public minister until 1823 when he was chosen by the Washington Association as their messenger to Sister Association in North Carolina. In the year 1823 he removed to North Carolina and settled in the county of Ashe where he laboured as a public minister in the Mountain and adjoining Association, and his labours were greatly blessed. About the year 1840 he removed to the county of Grayson where he lived until the time of his death on the 10th day of January, 1853. He died of that sly and deceitful destroyer Dispepsa, which flatters but to kill.
[Betty Carson]
Concerning the obituary of Drury Senter and the "moving to VA 1792". I have the obituary "copied from Minutes of Washington District Baptist Association for the year 1855 by E.J. Sutherland, Clintwood Virginia". He does not say the year he copied it but it is done on an old typewriter. I also have a Genealogy done by Rodney D. Senter about 1972. On page 3 it says "from official records of the Baptist Church: ......His parents removed with him to Washington County, VA (about 1792)........
This appears to be where the 1792 move to VA came from. I don't believe it to be correct as Henry is still on the 1800 census in Cumberland Co.
From Ashe County History, by Fletcher
The Senter Baptist Association was formed at a convention held at Senter Church in Ashe County, named for the renowned Elder Druwry (sp. Var.) Senter, and his equally famous son, Elder Nathaniel Senter. The convention met on October 21st, 1853, and when it had finished its labours there was a new Association - The Senter, named for the two preachers. The Association was made up of four churches from the Three Forks Association (Bear Creek, Beaver Creek, North Fork, and Horse Creek) and five from the mountain Association (Big Helton, Silas Creek, South Fork, Senter and Cranberry). To the Credit of the Senter Association is the first recorded action toward bettering educational facilities in Ashe County. (They had planned to erect a school, but the Civil War forced abandonment of the idea.)
Drury married Mary Jane McClure on 6 Jun 1809 in Abingdon, Washington Co., Virginia. Mary (daughter of Nathaniel McClure and Dorcus Cole) was born between 1791 and 1792 in Washington Co., Virginia; died on 9 Dec 1853 in Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Patrick E. (1867-1917) Ellen Hopson

Enoch Fulton (1871-1928) Francis Ramey
Felix was born in Ashe Co. North Carolina, near the town of Crumpler on Sept 1st 1838. The family moved to Grayson Co. Virginia sometime after the death of his mother Drucilla in 1841. Felix's father "Stephen Henry", remarried again in 1846 to Sarah "Sally" Long Landreth who was from Grayson Co..
The family moved once again to Elkhorn City, Kentucky area about 1858, where Felix's half sister Elvina was born on March 22nd 1858 in Wise Co. Virginia. Felix being 20 years old at the time struck out on his own and continued on over the mountain through Blowing Rock Gap to settle on the Virginia side of the mountains. His homestead can still be seen today with its mortarless stone chimney intact.
During the Civil war Felix and brother's Andrew and Enoch joined the Confederate Army. They enlisted at the Wise Co. Court House. Felix joined on June 3rd 1861. But was wounded at the Battle of Fort Donelson on the Tennessee River on February 15th 1862. Felix rose to the rank of Sergeant in the time he served the Confederate army. His brothers fought to the last battle in the state of Virginia, where the surrender was signed at Appomattox Court House.
After returning home from the war Felix married Elizabeth McFall. Felix was an educated man, and served as County Clerk of Dickenson County, Virginia in 1899. His portrait still hangs in the courthouse at Clintwood, Va. And records in his beautiful, even hand script are extant. He died while in Elkhorn City, Ky. And is buried there near his father. The old "hog" rifle, powderhorn and bullet mold he carried in the War are still in the family, and it is even said one of us still has the rifle mini-ball taken from the wound described below. NOTE****(Mini-Ball slug normally 50 caliber)
