THE HERITAGE OF WAYNE COUNTY, 1982 About 1835-1840 a group of planters purchased land from various members of the Everitt family near the present day Genoa Crosswoods. This area was high, sandy and said at the time to be more healthy than low lining areas about the Neuse River and its tributaries. A village was developed there and named for the Everitt family, who's ancestor, Joseph Everitt had been one of the richest to live in Wayne County. It was called Everittsville. Joseph Everitt was married to Ann McKinne, a daughter of General Richard McKinne and granddaughter of Colonel William McKinne; this he was tired into the socio-economic ruling clique that controlled Wayne County.
