With regard to the Stanley Adams who owned a store at Chicod/Simpson, do you have any information about his ancestors or descendants? I think some of my ancestors were in that area at the time. Thanks! J. D. Adams

A HISTORY OF SIMPSON The following article is a history of the town of Simpson and gathering information about it has been extremely difficult. The author would like to thank Lucille Sumrell for sharing her collection of historical notes which enhance this article. Simpson, formerly called “Chicod,” is a small residential town located about five miles east of Greenville. It was just another farm community until the railroad came through in 1907 and it began to grow into a town. The story of Simpson goes back to Gen. John Simpson (1728-1788), a local Revolutionary War patriot and civic leader, on whose plantation the town would later grow. Before the town began, the area was known as Chicod. A post office was established at Chicod on August 1, 1888, with Louis Nash Edwards as the first postmaster. He served until the mail was dispatched to Greenville in October 1890. In 1896, Charlie G. Barron and W. L. Wootten came down from Clarksville, Virginia, to help the farmers in the Chicod area to grow tobacco. They bought land and had houses which would later become the first houses in the town of Simpson. In 1900 a three-room schoolhouse was built at Chicod known as Oak Grove School. This became the Simpson Graded School by 1911 with Delia Smith as principal and Daisy Tucker as assistant teacher. In 1918 the Simpson School had 70 pupils and had three teachers: Misses Minnie Warner, Rosa Wootten, and Helen Wootten. This school closed in 1932 when it was consolidated with the Grimesland School. In 1907 the Norfolk and Southern Railroad built a rail line from Greenville to Chocowinity which passed through the Chicod community, and it is said that Captain J. J. Laughinghouse named the railroad town Simpson. Before the track had even gotten to Simpson, a fledging village grew up along the railroad right-of-way consisting of a store owned by Stanley Adams, Oak Grove School, a sawmill owned by Lewis Edwards and W. E. Tucker, and a brick-making plant. By March 1907 C. G. Barron and W. L. Wootten had divided part of their land into lots and began selling them off. After the coming of the railroad and the depot was built, the village began having an identity crisis. The railroad station was called Simpson, but the post office continued to be known as Chicod. There were numerous calls for efforts to enact a law to change either the post office or railroad station name, to no avail. The town remained double-named until 1965. In 1910 W. L. Wootten built a general store which had the first telephone in the community. On January 1, 1920, the firm of W. L. Wootten and Co. dissolved and Wootten sold his store to the Tucker Brothers, composed of W. S. Tucker, L. W. Tucker, and J. B. Tucker. The store eventually burned in 1927. By 1911, Simpson had organized its own baseball team and they had a ball park in which they played other local county teams. On April 29, 1915, the Chicod post office was established again in Simpson with Godfrey S. Porter as postmaster. On September 11, 1930, Mrs. Ella B. Pate became the next postmistress. The post office then was in Stanley Adams’ Store. Also in 1915, Noah Carson Moore (1868-1940) moved to Simpson and operated a blacksmith shop there for 25 years. By 1916 the village of Simpson had streets named Central, Center, Simpson, Madison, Jefferson, and Mail (Railroad) Street. That year William E. Tucker donated land to the Salem Methodist Church which was located two miles from Simpson. They built a new church and moved their congregation to Simpson. In August 1921 the railroad depot accidentally burned down and was rebuilt soon after. It again burned down later but was never rebuilt. On August 22, 1923, the town of Simpson was incorporated. The first officers of the new town were Nehemiah H. Beddard as mayor and J. B. Hardee, W. H. Porter, W. J. Edwards, James Wetherington, and J. Lonnie Tucker as commissioners. They later named Floyd Bell as the town policeman and a small brick jail was built. The town’s charter was revoked during the Depression for non-payment of taxes. After the town was chartered, Simpson included such businesses as a garage run by Leroy Gladson and Shorty Gibson. A small café was operated by Dick Tell and a barbershop was operated by Lewis Hudson, Ross Edwards, Bryant Smith, Shade Edison, and Oliver Boyd. William Corbett operated a clothes pressing club which was later operated by Ray and Callie Dixon. A doctors’ office was built consisting of three rooms. The doctors were Dr. Spigel and Dr. Drewy, with Mrs. Ella Edwards as their secretary. In 1924 the Simpson black school was built on land owned by C. G. Barron. The first black school and church were held on the first floor of the Odd Fellows Hall which was built in 1921. This school was torn down in 1991. In March 1927, under the auspices of the Pitt County Agricultural Department, the Simpson Boys’ Agricultural Club was organized with 12 charter members. John Hardee was elected president and Wardell Mills was secretary. Robert Little was made Captain of the Pig Club members and Carey Hardee was Captain of the Poultry squad. In 1936, C. C. Lang and Son Pickle Co. of Baltimore, Md., opened a cucumber-buying station at Simpson with J. Herman Tucker as manager. He was assisted by Karie Lee Buck and Miss Elizabeth Edwards. The cucumbers were graded by electric graders and hauled daily to Washington. N.C., in trucks by J. B. Rouse and Floyd Tucker. The pickling plant at Washington took most of the cucumbers and the others were trucked to C. C. Lang. In the late 1950s Vlasic Foods took over as the new owners and it remains a big business there. In 1961 the Simpson Rural Fire Department was organized and with the efforts of local civic groups, the Simpson Community Development Program won several first-place awards from the Coastal Plains Planning and Development Commission for community improvements. A water corporation was formed in 1967 and operates as the Eastern Pines Water Corporation. The town of Simpson was once again incorporated in 1975, and probably the most memorable event in the recent history of Simpson was the devastating tornado which ripped through the town on March 28, 1984. —Roger Kammerer Greenville Times December 6, 1995

At this early date, I would presume this document is referring to the area where the city of New Bern was founded about a decade later. New Bern is in Craven County, just south of Beaufort, and was the colonial capitol of NC and remained so until the founding of Raleigh as the new state capitol around 1790. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rachael Beale" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 06, 2006 7:50 AM Subject: [NC-PCFR] GEOGRAPHY of 1702-1703 BATH/PAMILCO CO.,NC > Abstracts from "ELIZABETH MOORE'S PAPERS" > File #322.60 > East Carolina University, NC > > 1703-April 6 > Thomas Lepper sells and assigns over unto "WILLIAM > POWELL"; all my rights and title to an entry of land > IN NEUSE RIVER made by me 26-Sept-1702.

A History of Yankee Hall Yankee Hall, also known as Pactolus Landing and Perkins Wharf, was an important early shipping point located at Spier's Landing on the north side of the Tar River, about 10 miles east of Greenville. Spier's Landing, as the area was known first, was named for John Spier who settled at Red Banks and died there in 1761. John Spier and several family members are buried in the old cemetery at Yankee Hall. Another early settler at Spier's Landing was Col. Alexander Stewart (1725-1772). Col. Stewart, a native of Scotland, was a militia officer, a member of Assembly and Clerk of Court in Beaufort County in 1751. He, his daughter Elizabeth Stewart (1759-1760) and his son, James Stewart (1766-1802), a merchant of Greenville, are also buried in the old cemetery at Yankee Hall. The first man I have found associated with Yankee Hall was Samuel Ralston (1778-1829). Ralston, a native of Ireland, appeared in Pitt County by 1808. He went into partnership with Franklin Gorham and had stores at Spier's Landing and in Greenville. In 1811, Ralston dissolved his partnership with Gorham and went into business with Churchill Perkins, operating a store at Spier's Landing under the style, Perkins and Ralston. About this time the name Yankee Hall begins to be used and appears to have been the name of Samuel Ralston's home. According to early descriptions, Yankee Hall was a large 2-story house sitting high off the ground situated in a grove about 200 yards from the wharf. As business grew, Yankee Hall became a thriving little port. In 1816, two ocean-going vessels were built at Yankee Hall. In March 1821, Thomas Telfair advertised that his celebrated Arabian horse, Mark Anthony, would stand at stud at Yankee Hall. Several other horses were brought to Yankee Hall for stud a number of years afterward. By the late 1830s, Pactolus, one mile north of Yankee Hall, had become a place of business and Yankee Hall became the town landing. On Jan. 1, 1842, W. G. B. Hadley and Henry I. Toole opened a store at Yankee Hall. In Dec. 1848, William Grimes advertised his Yankee Hall Store for rent. These businesses appear not to have lasted long. In 1842, John Bugh and Henry I. Toole leased land from Bryan Grimes on the south side of Tar River, on mile below Yankee Hall, and opened a seine fishery known as Yankee Hall fishery. The fishery lasted many years, being owned later by Godfrey Langley, William Grimes and G. A. McGowan in 1896. The Yankee Hall house, which was leased to Churchill Perkins, was finally bought by him at a Sheriff's Sale in 1851, because of debts owned by Ralston family heirs. Perkins lived in the house until his death after 1866. In July 1862, it was reported that the Union gunboat Picket and other artillery launches made a reconnoisance up Tar River and upon getting to Yankee Hall, fired a shell into the house, almost tearing the entire roof off. There were four or five Confederates in the house with their horses tied in front. They scattered in great confusion. The house is remembered to have been the rendezvous point for Confederate pickets and bore the distinct marks of shot and shell that it endured from Yankee encampments in the yard and patrol boats coming up the river. At Churchill Perkins's death, Yankee Hall was left to his son Julian V. Perkins (who continued to live in the house), and his son-in-law Rufus S. Tucker, of Raleigh, NC. Rufus Sylvester Tucker inherited his father's (Ruffin Tucker's) business in Raleigh in 1851, and with his brother, W. H. Tucker, built one of the largest mercantile establishments in the South. Tucker was Director of banks and railroads and was for many years President of the State Asylum. At his death in 1894, Rufus S. Tucker left an estate worth $1,000,000. In Dec. 1869, Rufus S. Tucker and wife sold their half interest in Yankee Hall to Julian V. Perkins. Perkins accumulated large debts and lost the property, which was bought back at a Sheriff's Sale by Rufus S. Tucker in 1884. Tucker then sold the house to William Grimes. The story of Yankee Hall came to an abrupt end one night in April 1890 when it burned to the ground. The house was occupied by Henry Dixon and family, overseer of Yankee Hall Farm; J. J. Laughinghouse was the farm manager at the time. Mr. Dixon's wife had given birth to a child four days before the fire and had to carried out through the rain to a neighboring house, barely escaping with her life. In Dec. 1890, a second fire destroyed the barn at the old farm. The barn was the largest in the county–an immense frame structure 60 x 90 feet. Burned were 6000 bushels of peanuts, 100 barrels of corn and 50 tons of hay. Both fires were of incendiary origin. Since the 1880s, Yankee Hall had been the site of numerous steamboat excursions and picnics. At the turn of the century there was a covered pavilion for dancing and tables with benches provided for the picnics. Today, Yankee Hall still serves as a recreational area for boating and fishing. And like so many old places in Pitt County, lost to the past, it's just another beautiful spot along the Tar River.

This is what we have gathered so far on Miss Laura V. Cox: — she was listed in the 1900 Census in Winterville, NC # 183/183 Cox, John D., head, W, M, b. Jan 1856, age 44, md. 14 yrs., Surveyor —, Addie S., wife, W, F, b. May 1862, age 38, md. 14 yrs, children 1 born, 1 living —, Jama, W, M, b. Mar 1886, age 14, single, Farm labor —, Lura, cousin, W, F, b. Nov. 1872, age 27, single, School Teacher My note: John David and Addie Smith Cox lived on Church Street in Winterville. Their old home is still there. The house was sold to Mellie and Henry Dail and in 1946 my father bought it. I lived there my first five years. From correspondence preserved by the Cox family: — she taught at Winterville High School (or Academy) ca 1907 — she boarded with Mr. & Mrs. J. D. Cox. Note: John David Cox was a surveyor and travelled frequently throughout North Carolina, presumably with his work. — she was working at Oxford Orphanage Oxford, NC Jul 1907 — she received a card in May 1908 addressed to Wake Forest, NC, in care of F. O. Cox. (Is F. O. Cox Fountain Oscar, b. 1876?) (assume she was either visiting or boarding there at the time) — she was at the University of Chicago in 1908 — she received an appointed in 1910 (possibly to be an Episcopal missionary) • cemetery record in Mrs. St. Amand's Vol. 4, p. 87, under Ayden Cemetery: Laura Virginia, dau. of Cannon and Margaret H. Cox born Nov. 29, 1872, died Feb 2, 194_. • cemetery record from J. L. Jackson's Gravestone Transcriptions, Pitt Co., NC, Part 2 http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/nc/pitt/cemeteries/jacksonCems2.txt Laura Virginia Cox, Nov. 29, 1872 - Feb. 2, 1941 Margaret H. Whitford Cox, May 21, 1844 - Nov. 6, 1885 -------------------------- Help received from Judy: [email protected] From the book "The Whitford Family of Eastern North Carolina" compiled by Victor T. Jones, Jr., Janis Cannon, Vera Whitford and other members of the Whitford Family Reunion (2000)... Margaret Whitford was born May 21, 1844. She married Cannon Cox on December 2, 1865 in Craven County. She died on November 6, 1885 in Pitt County at the age of 41. Children: Susan J. Cox born circa 1857 John C. Cox born circa 1860 Albert D. Cox born August 1869 Mary A. C. Cox born circa 1872 Laura Cox born circa 1873 Margaret Cox born circa 1875 Ophelia Cox born circa 1878 Also from same book.... Sun Journal, September 8, 1936 "Whitford Family in Big Reunion at Askin Sunday" "Among the many branches of the family represented relatives from Virginia for the first time. These were Laura V. Cox, her sister, Mrs. Hamilton, and the latter's son and daughter, of Chase City, Va. They were joined by a brother from Winterville, N.C. The newcomers are descendants of the late Lorenzo D. Whitford, who lived some years ago a few miles from New Bern." Judy -------------------------- Help received from Carol: Margaret Whitford was the daughter of Lorenzo K. Whitford, b. 1823, and Cassandra Stephenson. Cannon Cox was the son of Daniel Cox and Mary. Children of Margaret Whitford, second wife, and Cannon Cox were: Albert Dow Cox 1870-20 Jan 1951; Mary Ann Cox 1871-1923, married William Jospeh Mumford d. 1939; Ophelia Beulah, b. 1878, married Heber Hamilton. Laurie Virginia Cox never married. Cannon Cox and his first wife Nancy had a grandson Dock Harvey Cox b. 1900 who married Carrie Lee Hollowary, b. 1901, in 1919. They had a daughter Phyllis Ann Cox born Oct. 24, 1944 who died in 1997. She married a Sawyer, who is still living; several of their children are also living. Cannon Cox and Nancy had Susan J. Cox (1856) who married Samuel Manning and John C. Cox (1860) who married Dillie Ann Garris (b. 1862), married 5 March 1883. Their only child was Dock Harvey Cox, b. 1900. He and his wife had several children. She's related some generations back to Amos Garris. John David Cox was born 1850, died 1930, which you probably knew already. His parents were Josiah Cox and Sarah Ann Tyson. John David Cox and Adelaide Smith had one child, Jamie Saunders Cox. -------------------------------- Now, I wish to find the family relationship of Miss Laura to John David Cox or to his wife Adelaide "Addie" Smith Cox. Laura (Lura) is listed as a cousin in the 1900 census, so I think it would be through the Cox side of the family, although she could be a cousin to Addie through the Smith side of the family. Mrs. St. Amand did not list this Laura V. Cox in the volume of Our Family Genealogy that she revised, which surprises me, but maybe she could not prove the kinship. Thanks for your help. Trish

Roger: I realize that this information was taken from a newspaper article but perhaps in finding it you may have a bit more information re: Yankee Hall. I have been told that Yankee Hall was owned by one of the Grimes family - William Grimes of Raleigh? Do you have any more info - like years it was bought and sold by William (if that is who owned it?)? In a message dated 8/2/2006 12:25:55 AM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: A HISTORY OF PACTOLUS Pactolus is a small village located on the north side of the Tar River about ten miles from Greenville. The history of Pactolus begins with Yankee Hall, also known as Speir’s Landing, Pactolus Landing, and Perkins’ Wharf, located one mile from Pactolus on the river. Yankee Hall was owned by Samuel Ralston, an Irishman, who died in 1829. His business partner, Churchill Perkins, eventually obtained all the land from the river to the public road to Washington, known as the Yankee Hall Farm whereon Pactolus grew. The name Pactolus was supposed to have been given the area by a school teacher named Lincoln about 1790, but it was long after getting its name before it became a village. In 1831, the Jordan Plains Academy, located about two miles north of Pactolus, was chartered with Hugh Telfair, Thomas Jordan, Valentine Jordan, Benjamin F. Eborn, James Little, and Churchill Perkins as trustees. A post office was established at Pactolus on May 30, 1832, with Churchill Perkins as first postmaster. On May 29, 1838, a large circus and art exhibition, traveling in the area, stopped in Pactolus with its menagerie of lions, tigers, camels, hyenas, condors, vultures, monkeys, and an ostrich. Also on August 16, 1838, there was a large public dinner held at Pactolus to celebrate the recent Whig victory. A table 87 yards long served 500 guests. On July 25, 1839, election day in Pactolus, Churchill Perkins, having a dispute with another man who approached him in a threatening manner with a stick, drew his pistol which fired accidentally, the ball striking John Cherry in the neck, killing him in a few minutes, As Yankee Hall Landing began to fade as a place of business, Churchill Perkins built the first store in Pactolus in 1840. Nine years later, in 1849, another academy called the Midway Male and Female Academy was chartered at or near Pactolus. The trustees were Churchill Perkins, Henry I. Toole, William Grimes, Godfrey Langley, Benjamin Daniel, Valentine S. Jordan and David Langley. Henry Irwin Toole, one of Pactolus’s most renowned citizens, was a native of Edgecombe County and lived near Pactolus in his home called “The Cottage.” He represented Pitt County in the Legislature and was a writer of merit. He published the newspaper, Southern Times in Raleigh, N.C. in 1841 and moved to Wilmington, N.C. in October 1849 where he published the newspaper The Aurora until his death December 28, 1850. In 1850, Pactolus consisted of the store of Churchill Perkins, Dr. Joseph R. Reading, and Richard L. Brewer of Virginia as the teacher in the academy. During the Civil War, Pactolus was often the scene of troop movements and afterwards suffered through Reconstruction like the rest of the country. Churchill Perkins (1804-1867) left his Yankee Hall Farm of 2,129 acres to his son Julian V. Perkins, and his son-in-law, Rufus S. Tucker, of Raleigh, N.C. Julian V. Perkins (1835-1884) graduated from St. Timothy’s Hall, an Episcopal classical and commercial school in Catonsville, Maryland, in 1855 and immediately entered business with his father at Pactolus. In 1859, Julian married Lucy F. Alston, daughter of Hon. Thomas N. F. Alston of Warren County, N.C. and later served as postmaster of Pactolus from 1860 to 1866. In 1867, Julian went into business with J. J. Rollins in a large store in Pactolus, hoping to pay off the large debts his father had encumbered. In 1869, R. S. Tucker sold his half interest in the Yankee Hall Farm to Julian who in turn began to build and lease buildings on his Pactolus property. But in the spring of 1882, seeing no hope of ever relinquishing the debts owed, he surrendered up every cent of his property. By the aid of his friends, Julian was able to open a small store in Pactolus which he operated until his death in 1884. In 1884, R. S. Tucker bought back the Pactolus property and advertised it for sale, describing it as having “some 60 buildings, including 4 stores, a water gristmill, and steam sawmill.” R. S. Tucker and his wife eventually sold off lots and the town began to grow. After the Civil War, a number of doctors practiced in Pactolus, including Dr. R. M. Terrell (1867-72), Dr. Taylor (1872), Dr. C. A. Swindell (1875-76), Dr. Smith (1877-78), Dr. Ed Ewell (1881-82), Dr. W. H. Bagwell, and Dr. B. Chears. In 1872, James A. Davenport, a Confederate veteran, opened a store with his brother-in-law, Robert R. Fleming. They merchandised for ten years, dissolving in December 1882. Davenport continued in business for himself, operating a carriage factory and was one of the largest farmers in Eastern Carolina, serving as a director of the Bank of Washington. Robert R. Fleming, also a Confederate veteran, had a large general merchandise and supply business. He ran a large sawmill, cotton gin and gristmill, known as the Pactolus Watermills. He suffered heavily from fire when his sawmill burned in July 1888. He rebuilt it and it burned again nine months later in April 1889. His store also burned in December 1889. In 1892, the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad built a branch railroad to Washington, N.C. which passed through Pactolus. A depot was built about a half mile from town on the north side of Grindle Creek. The East Carolina Land and Improvement Company bought land near the depot and 147 lots were laid out and streets numbered and named. It looked as if there were two towns, separated by the Creek. The depot became an ill-fated edifice in Pactolus. The first one built in 1892 was struck by lightning and burned May 19, 1896. A second depot was built and was found on fire October 8, 1899, after being robbed, burning only the office. New businesses in Pactolus after the railroad came were C. E. Bradley and Co., James H. Gurganus & Little & Satterthwaite (later J. J. and B. B. Satterthwaite Co.). In 1900, R. R. Fleming bought 17 lots from the East Carolina Land and Improvement Company and erected a large steam mill. Also, C. E. Bradley built a large two-story store near the depot, the second story to be used for the town hall. At the turn of the century, Prohibition became a heated issue in Pactolus. The new part of town on the north side of Grindle Creek wanted to be dry, while the old part wanted to remain wet. Steps were taken to separate and the new town of Maupin was chartered March 4, 1905. The charter was eventually revoked on February 25, 1911. In 1902, Pactolus had 6 stores, 3 public gins, 2 sawmills, 1 gristmill, a blacksmith and repair shop. In 1903, James R. Davenport, J. C. Braxton and E. L. Braxton formed a business under Braxton and Davenport, manufacturing and selling fertilizer. —Roger Kammerer Greenville Times December 7, 1988

Does anyone know if there are birth, death, and marriage records for Pitt Co on line? I am looking for information on Minnie Lee Gurganus. She is thought to have been born to a Walter B. Gurganus and Minnie Mitchell. She married Van Killebrew Jenkins of Edgecombe co. He was born 8-9-1906 and died 5-23-1936. Also does Edgecombe Co and Nash Co have web sites? Thanks, Jim Jenkins --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A little more information on her. I did find this cemetery record in Mrs. St. Amand's Vol. 4, p. 87, under Ayden Cemetery: Laura Virginia, dau. of Cannon and Margaret H.

A HISTORY OF PACTOLUS Pactolus is a small village located on the north side of the Tar River about ten miles from Greenville. The history of Pactolus begins with Yankee Hall, also known as Speir’s Landing, Pactolus Landing, and Perkins’ Wharf, located one mile from Pactolus on the river. Yankee Hall was owned by Samuel Ralston, an Irishman, who died in 1829. His business partner, Churchill Perkins, eventually obtained all the land from the river to the public road to Washington, known as the Yankee Hall Farm whereon Pactolus grew. The name Pactolus was supposed to have been given the area by a school teacher named Lincoln about 1790, but it was long after getting its name before it became a village. In 1831, the Jordan Plains Academy, located about two miles north of Pactolus, was chartered with Hugh Telfair, Thomas Jordan, Valentine Jordan, Benjamin F. Eborn, James Little, and Churchill Perkins as trustees. A post office was established at Pactolus on May 30, 1832, with Churchill Perkins as first postmaster. On May 29, 1838, a large circus and art exhibition, traveling in the area, stopped in Pactolus with its menagerie of lions, tigers, camels, hyenas, condors, vultures, monkeys, and an ostrich. Also on August 16, 1838, there was a large public dinner held at Pactolus to celebrate the recent Whig victory. A table 87 yards long served 500 guests. On July 25, 1839, election day in Pactolus, Churchill Perkins, having a dispute with another man who approached him in a threatening manner with a stick, drew his pistol which fired accidentally, the ball striking John Cherry in the neck, killing him in a few minutes, As Yankee Hall Landing began to fade as a place of business, Churchill Perkins built the first store in Pactolus in 1840. Nine years later, in 1849, another academy called the Midway Male and Female Academy was chartered at or near Pactolus. The trustees were Churchill Perkins, Henry I. Toole, William Grimes, Godfrey Langley, Benjamin Daniel, Valentine S. Jordan and David Langley. Henry Irwin Toole, one of Pactolus’s most renowned citizens, was a native of Edgecombe County and lived near Pactolus in his home called “The Cottage.” He represented Pitt County in the Legislature and was a writer of merit. He published the newspaper, Southern Times in Raleigh, N.C. in 1841 and moved to Wilmington, N.C. in October 1849 where he published the newspaper The Aurora until his death December 28, 1850. In 1850, Pactolus consisted of the store of Churchill Perkins, Dr. Joseph R. Reading, and Richard L. Brewer of Virginia as the teacher in the academy. During the Civil War, Pactolus was often the scene of troop movements and afterwards suffered through Reconstruction like the rest of the country. Churchill Perkins (1804-1867) left his Yankee Hall Farm of 2,129 acres to his son Julian V. Perkins, and his son-in-law, Rufus S. Tucker, of Raleigh, N.C. Julian V. Perkins (1835-1884) graduated from St. Timothy’s Hall, an Episcopal classical and commercial school in Catonsville, Maryland, in 1855 and immediately entered business with his father at Pactolus. In 1859, Julian married Lucy F. Alston, daughter of Hon. Thomas N. F. Alston of Warren County, N.C. and later served as postmaster of Pactolus from 1860 to 1866. In 1867, Julian went into business with J. J. Rollins in a large store in Pactolus, hoping to pay off the large debts his father had encumbered. In 1869, R. S. Tucker sold his half interest in the Yankee Hall Farm to Julian who in turn began to build and lease buildings on his Pactolus property. But in the spring of 1882, seeing no hope of ever relinquishing the debts owed, he surrendered up every cent of his property. By the aid of his friends, Julian was able to open a small store in Pactolus which he operated until his death in 1884. In 1884, R. S. Tucker bought back the Pactolus property and advertised it for sale, describing it as having “some 60 buildings, including 4 stores, a water gristmill, and steam sawmill.” R. S. Tucker and his wife eventually sold off lots and the town began to grow. After the Civil War, a number of doctors practiced in Pactolus, including Dr. R. M. Terrell (1867-72), Dr. Taylor (1872), Dr. C. A. Swindell (1875-76), Dr. Smith (1877-78), Dr. Ed Ewell (1881-82), Dr. W. H. Bagwell, and Dr. B. Chears. In 1872, James A. Davenport, a Confederate veteran, opened a store with his brother-in-law, Robert R. Fleming. They merchandised for ten years, dissolving in December 1882. Davenport continued in business for himself, operating a carriage factory and was one of the largest farmers in Eastern Carolina, serving as a director of the Bank of Washington. Robert R. Fleming, also a Confederate veteran, had a large general merchandise and supply business. He ran a large sawmill, cotton gin and gristmill, known as the Pactolus Watermills. He suffered heavily from fire when his sawmill burned in July 1888. He rebuilt it and it burned again nine months later in April 1889. His store also burned in December 1889. In 1892, the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad built a branch railroad to Washington, N.C. which passed through Pactolus. A depot was built about a half mile from town on the north side of Grindle Creek. The East Carolina Land and Improvement Company bought land near the depot and 147 lots were laid out and streets numbered and named. It looked as if there were two towns, separated by the Creek. The depot became an ill-fated edifice in Pactolus. The first one built in 1892 was struck by lightning and burned May 19, 1896. A second depot was built and was found on fire October 8, 1899, after being robbed, burning only the office. New businesses in Pactolus after the railroad came were C. E. Bradley and Co., James H. Gurganus & Little & Satterthwaite (later J. J. and B. B. Satterthwaite Co.). In 1900, R. R. Fleming bought 17 lots from the East Carolina Land and Improvement Company and erected a large steam mill. Also, C. E. Bradley built a large two-story store near the depot, the second story to be used for the town hall. At the turn of the century, Prohibition became a heated issue in Pactolus. The new part of town on the north side of Grindle Creek wanted to be dry, while the old part wanted to remain wet. Steps were taken to separate and the new town of Maupin was chartered March 4, 1905. The charter was eventually revoked on February 25, 1911. In 1902, Pactolus had 6 stores, 3 public gins, 2 sawmills, 1 gristmill, a blacksmith and repair shop. In 1903, James R. Davenport, J. C. Braxton and E. L. Braxton formed a business under Braxton and Davenport, manufacturing and selling fertilizer. —Roger Kammerer Greenville Times December 7, 1988

Thanks, Roger. This still doesn't ring a bell with either my husband or me. I think families from West Carteret and those from East Carteret didn't see a lot of each other in the old days. Their lives centered around the sea more than the land, and they used different waterways to get to the sea. When my husband's grand-uncle, Joseph Arrington, Minister of the Methodist Church in Beaufort, was dying, his father and mother came down from Hyde County by sailboat to see their son before he died. As they came ashore, they heard him singing "The Old Ship of Zion", but he had expired before they got to his home. A picture of his gravestone is in a book about unusual North Carolina epitaphs. The epitaph mentions that he sang that hymn as he was dying. Joseph died September 20, 1881. I recently found a reference to this event on the internet in an old history of the Ann Street Methodist Church in Beaufort. It said that Joseph's step-grandmother from upstate had reached his bedside in time to see him alive. His step-grandmother was from Nash County. Apparently, travel from Nash County to Carteret County was faster by land than from Hyde County to Carteret County by sea. Heaven knows how long it would have taken to travel from Hyde to Carteret by land in those days. Jo Prytherch ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger E.

Jo, "Little Washington" Carteret County was on highway 24 between Swansboro and Morehead City kinda near (as I remember) Bogue Field. When I was young I knew an older lady whose mother was from "Little Hell" Jones County and married a guy from "Little Washington" Carteret County. She said her dad had to go to "Hell" to get his wife.

I mean Beaufort County. My husband is from Carteret County, and I lived there for a few years many years ago, but I never heard of a Little Washington in Carteret County. Do you know what it is near?
