Notes on this family:
John Belk (sometimes spelled Bealk) lived in several counties in Virginia prior to arriving in N.C. He lived in Buckingham, Charlotte, Lunenburg and Mecklenburg Counties. There is some indication that the Belk line as an Indian line. The tribe is thought to be Cherokee. For a time, the family lived in Lincoln County, North Carolina. After 1800, at least two of the children, and possibly more, settled in Middle Tennessee in Overton County.
