"...Achilles married Sarah Meklchor born about 1794, the daughter of John Melchor and Elizabeth Herlocker of Cabarrus County, NC. Achilles and his family were in Montgomery County when the 1830 and 1840 census were taken and they were enumerated in Stanly County in 1850. When Stanly County was formed from part of Montgomery County in 1841 all residents of the newly formed county were required to list their properties for taxation. In this 1841 Tax Listing Achilles Almond claimed 960 acres on Long Creek valued at $1,450. His first known land purchase was in 1817 when he paid $350 for 250 acres from Joel Rowland on the east side of Big Bear Creek. By 1855 when Achilles made his last land purchase he had accumulated 1,322 acres on Big Bear and Little Bear Creeks in western Stanly County.
In 1847 Achilles began distributing his property to his sons when he gave 100 acres on Little Bear Creek to his oldest son, Edmund. In 1856 he sold 321 acres to his son, Melchor, and 279 acres to his son, Martin. At Achilles' death in 1857 it appears his widow, Sarah, owned 650 acres.
Achilles Almond died 22 Dec 1857. Edmund his oldest son, was appointed administrator of the estate on 9 Feb 1858 with bond of $4,000.
Achilles did not claim ownership of a slave in the 1850 census but other public documents show his ownership of slaves. His father gave him a "negro man Lot" when his will was written in 1839. In 1853 Sarah Almond bought a negro woman from the estate of Nathan and Winny Almond for $139.95. At the February 1858 session of County Pleas and Quarter Sessions Edmund Almond, the administrator of Achilles' estate, asked permission from the Court "to sell negro boy named Pete for the payment of debts and distributions". At Achilles' first estate sale on 10 March 1858 Sarah Almond bought 1 negro man for $406, presumably "Pete". When the 1860 census was taken Sarah Almond claimed ownership of 1 slave. In the 1870 Stanly County census 58 year old Peter Almond, a free black male, was head of his household with a 30 year old black female, Mattie, and 12 year old Monroe Motley in his house. Further information about this former slave can be found at the NC Archives in Raleigh where there is an estate record fo "Peter Almond, Colored, 1881". Achilles' grandson, Eli R. Herrin, was the administrator of Peter Almond's estate. No heirs were named in this record but Peter Almond owned 50 acres known as the Molly Rowland place. One wonders if Peter Almond received this 50 acres when he was freed from slavery because Achilles' original land purchase was from Joel Rowland.
As administrator of Achilles' estate Edmund Almond gave a report of the settlement of his father's estate at the May 1860 Session of the County Pleas and Quarter Session. The heirs were eligible to receive $1,901.25 1/2. However, at the Fall 1869 Session of Superior Court the heirs went to court over the sale of some of their father's properties. At issue was the disposal of the property bid off to Daniel Almond, a son of Achilles and Sarah, who was killed in the Civil War. It was determined by the Court that Danie's widow was entitled to dower in this land. Per Lee Almond...."
