Luke B ynum was living in the Haw River area by about1744, in current Chatham County,thus several years before there was even an Orange County. Though he is not a documented son of William Bynum Sr. of Edgecombe County, there is a
preponderan ce of evidence which shows that he was a younger son of William and Mary (Fort) Bynum. There were no land transactions for Luke in Edgecombe County but his presumed brother, William Bynum Jr., is proven by deed to have been a son of
Wil liam Bynum, Sr. William Jr. lived near Luke in current Chatham County, and Luke named sons William and James, no doubt for his father and grandfather. His own name, Luke, appears to have originated in his Luke Mizzell line. We find Luke's
Granville Grant (NC Archives) of 700 acres on New Hope Creek in old Orange C ounty, dated 23 June, 1761.
It is interesting that Jim Strowd and his sist er Louise (Strowd) Moore live beside the Haw, only a hard pitched stone's throw from Luke's land grant of almost 250 years past. Luke was their 4th great grandfather.
Luke's brother, William Bynum Jr., left Chatham and removed to the Pendleton District of South Carolina. His wife was named Mary, and his children appear to have been Isaac, Jesse, John, Benjamin and Rebecca. James Bynum, also thought to have
been a brother of William Jr. and Luke, purchased Orang e County (now Chatham) land from William Jr. in 1761. In about 1771 James was noted as being a "Regulator"-a historically interesting period of time in old Orange County. He is not
recorded in the area after 1774. His wife was named Reb ecca and they had at least one child, Elizabeth.
Mary (Bynum) Bell, wife of Joseph Bell (1722-1792), was a sister to William Jr., James, and our Luke Bynum. The Bell's seem to have had a son James who lived in Chatham prior to his removal to Wilkes County, Georgia. The children of Joseph
and Mary (Bynum) Be ll were James, Nathaniel, Newell, Rosanna and Mary. Joseph Bell died in Carteret County, in 1792. Miss Fannie Pearl Fulcher, an Ocracoke native, has told us that the yellow wildflowers growing along the byways of the Outer
Banks are cal led "Jobells", named for Joseph Bell who sprinkled the first seeds many years ago. Into which generation this Joseph Bell falls is unknown to your compiler.
We are able to gain some insight into the family of Luke Bynum from his gr eat grandson, Alvis J. Bynum, of Pittsboro, Chatham County. Alvis served throughout the Civil War, later married a daughter of Aaron Gaston Headen and M
ar y Edwards Rives (of William Alston descent) Alvis was a son of Turner Bynam and a grandson of Mark Bynum, Jr. His handwritten paper is entitled-
"Histor y of the Bynum and Ward Family as Related to me by my uncle Mark Bynum (III), July 14, 1893".
"My great grandfather was named Luke. He immigrated to t his county about 1750 from Pennsylvania or Virginia (correction by BJF/Bynum'sto Edgecombe County, NC, from Virginia). He settled on the Haw River on which is now known the William
Snipes Place. Near the old graveyard he built a reside nce. He was of English and Irish descent; in religion he was a Methodist. He had a barn that was used by the Methodists to hold quarterly meetings in. Indians were inhabitants then of
the section. They were peacable and lived by hunting turkey and deer. He (Luke) had two brothers who immigrated with him. One wentto Stokes County and one to Edgecombe. (The Edgecombe reference no doubt relates to Luke's place of origin in
North Carolina). Luke Bynum was a strong Whig; his company (?militia) was mustered at Fearrington
