BRITTON HOOD: FIRST WAYNE SURVEYOR
By: Charles Norwood, Sr.
(From the Book "History of North Carolina")Britton Hood (1767 - 1848) was Wayne County's first Surveyor of
record. Britton, Bold Robin and John C. Hood, sons of Nathaniel B. Hood,
came to Eastern North Carolina from Lynn, Massachusetts, in the early
part of 1790. (Note, (added by Michael Jensen July 1999): This has not
been proven. It is believed now that Nathaniel Hood and Elizabeth Britton
were the parents & they came from Virginia but more proof is still needed.)Britton with Robin went first to New Bern but left his twin brother,
Bold Robin (also a surveyor). After a very short stay. He rode his horse
alone into Waynesborough a few years after it was incorporated. Strapped
to his horse were all his worldly goods - his surveying instruments.Britton Hood settled in the Grantham Community in the western
part of the county, between Big and Little Creek of the Thoroughfare.
Here he built a small log cabin. Later in 1820 he built a larger house
located on a farm to the rear of Mrs. Stella Stevens home on the Old
Grantham Road. This house is still standing but it is long past been (sic)
a home. His eldest son, John Robert, later took over and raised his large
family of 11 children here. John Robert's wife was Dizy Grantham, only
daughter of Solomon Grantham.Britton Hood built a third house just south of present Highway 13
near Grantham School. This was his last home and here he died in 1848.
The house still stands in the center of his 1000-acre plantation that he left
by will to his son Daniel T. Hood. He retained a life estate.For 50 years, no one's name in this county appeared in the county
records more frequently than that of Britton Hood -- as a surveyor, as a
witness, as a grantor and grantee. He was involved in most all transfers
and divisions of land in the county. He surveyed and divided William
Whitfield's vast acreage after his death early in 1800.He surveyed and laid out Old Waynesborough into lots. In his later
years he was surveying for Wilmington & Weldon Railroad and still later
he joined his twin brother in New Bern to start surveying the right-of-way
for the North Carolina railroad know as the Mullet line running from
Goldsboro to Morehead City.Britton Hood received land in Wayne County as Early as 1795. He
purchased, traded and finally deeded away large acreages to his sons only
two days before his death. He owned at one time approximately 3,000
acres of land and 15 slaves. In his will he left "2 acres in the fork of the
road for a Meeting House. This two acres was the site of Falling Creek
Baptist Church which was built in 1848, the year of Britton Hood;s death.He directed that his personal property, including the slaves and "my
surveying instruments," be sold and the proceeds "together with my notes,
after paying my just debts" be divided amoung his children. To his son,
Daniel T., was bequeathed "My still and what belongs to it."A son of John Robert Hood and grandson of Britton Hood was
Edward R. Hood. He moved to Goldsboro from his home near Falling
Creek Baptist Church and became Wayne County Treasurer. At his death
in 1899, his son, George E. Hood, assumed the duties and titles to T
reasurer. In 1901 George Hood was Mayor of Goldsboro and later became
Congressman, representing this district for many years. In 1906 Mrs.
Edith Hood, George Hood's mother, was living at 105.Another son of John Robert Hood was Soloman Pope Hood. He was
the father of Gurney P. Hood and Clarence P. Hood, both founders of the
Hood system Banks in this state. Mr. Gurney P. Hood served as the first
State commissioner of Banks.A daughter of John Robert Hood, Polly Ann, married Moses Britt of
the Grantham Community. A grandson of this couple, W. G. Britt, Jr.,
resides in Goldsboro today.Another son of Britton Hood was Daniel T. who married Temperance
Best. This son inherited the homeplace and 100 acres of land, Britton
retaining a life estate.A son of Daniel T. Hood was Grover Hood, a prominent farmer in the
Grantham Community. He married Emma Rose and they had 11 children,
most of whom live in the community today.

Excerpt from a copy of a
newspaper story that appeared in
"The Goldsboro News Argus"
Thursday, September 6, 1962,
Goldsboro, North Carolina.
John Robert Hood was the son of Britton hood, whose own home
considerably enlarged - is still standing on Highway 13, just across Horse
Swamp from the son's home. The Britton Hood Home, originally
containing two rooms, was removed from across the highway by his son,
Daniel T. Hood,who inherited his father's homeplace, consisting of 1,000
acres. Daniel, who was a noted fox hunter, added a wing to the house. He
was a Baptist preacher and the father of W. Graham Hood of Goldsboro.
Daniel T. Hood and his wife, Temperance Best Hood, had six children,
including Daniel J. Hood retired attorney of Buice Creek, Another son,
William Henry Hood was the Grandfather of County Dog Warden Horace
Hood and the father of Dr. Marshall H. Hood, an eye, ear, and nose
specialist of Portsmouth, Va. William Henry Hood was the first husband
of Sara Jinnette, whose daughter by a second marriage, Mrs. Effie Parker,
is historian of the Daniel T. Hood clan. Billy Hood of Goldsboro is current
president of the clan which meets annually on the second Sunday in
September. The original Britton Hood home was weatherboarded,
suggesting that it was built later later than the log home of his son, John
Robert Sr. -- possibly at the time of his second marriage to Katherine Cox,
by who he had one child, Daniel T. Hood. He had first married a Sullivan.
It is thought likely that Britton Hood built and perhaps lived in the John
Robert Hood home, which could be over 150 years old.
