I am a descendent of Dr. James Thicken through his son James IV and grandson Travis Hill Thigpen!
My Uncle Marvin Nichols and his family tended land there and his parents and younger siblings lived in the house. There was also two other houses across the street from the house that my uncle and his brother lived in.. I worked on the farm with my uncle and his relatives several summers. The house was an awesome place and I it breaks my heart it was torn down. We would eat lunch there everyday during our lunch hour. My uncle's mother was an awesome cook. Thankful to find history and connections to Penny Hill. My mom lives not to far from Penny Hill. Many memories in the that area of Pitt Co for me.
I am a descendant if Dr James Thigpen. I am interested in this structure as well as linking with other family. I also have Petteway in the family. Stacey, would love to chat with you!Pam
My grandmother told of hassle thigpen steeling land from my illiterate aunt and that when she died the land became haunted. Just curious.My grandmother was Thigpen
Travel Hwy 33 when I visit my parents in Halifax County. Noticed last time traveling, that the house that stood beside the Doctor's office had been torn down and it's place Solar Panels. Always assumed that that is where the Doctor lived but not sure. Really hate that the house was torn down. Seems no one respects history, especially in Pitt County. A lot of historical buildings have been leveled for the sake of progress.
I am a desendent of Dr James Thigpen by his son Travis Hill Thigpen,

I have noticed that several have committed that they are descended from Dr. James Thigpen through Travis Hill Thigpen. I am also. I just accidentally found this while looking for information for a vacation later this year 2023 or next year. Is there a Facebook page or any group?
