    1. OAK GROVE CHURCH
    2. Bill Kittrell
    3. This church in Pitt County, was formally organized October 25, 1834. It is apparent from the minutes that it had been functioning as an unorganized group for some time. Its present building which is near the original site is about five miles south of Robersonville and about 16 miles northeast of Greenville. Some of the first names mentioned were Henry Roberson, George Britton, Nathaniel Keel, Daniel Hill, Josiah Taylor, Thomas Roebuck, John Pereey, Richmond H. Terry, Achron Hill, Nancy Brown, Mary Terry, Judiah Britton, Pollyann Daniel. First officers. Jeremiah Leggett, Pastor, Henry Roberson, Clerk, and George Britton and Nathaniel Keel, Deacons. Looks like I have a handwritten paper signed by those who were the first members. I have copies of minutes from 4th Sunday Oct 1834 to Saturday before the 4th Lord's Day Feb 1876 It is 32 pages.

    1. Survey of the Living???
    2. All: Tim Moore here of Raleigh, NC and descendant of Jacob, Henry, Benjamin, Enoch Moore of Pitt County. Question: Has anyone ever surveyed the living descendants of old Pitt families like the Moores (especially those still residing in Pitt) to see what if any genealogical gold they may be sitting on? i.e., family bibles, deeds, photos, biographies, recollections, etc., etc.?? I ask because (as some of you may recall) my father, then I, ended up with a letter written by one of my ancestors in 12/1864 from Ft. Fisher to 'my' family in Greenville. And we are/were NY/NJ/PA Yanks! LOL THX to travelling dry goods salesman Samuel Benjamin Moore who was last in my direct line to be born in Pitt (to Enoch Moore and Elizabeth Albritton) and who ended up in LI,NY where he married an Emma Stillman who together had my patriarchal grand father Enoch Stillman Moore. Anyway, just wondering. I realize that such a canvassing would be very labor intensive and require mucho resources. I trust that every one is having a wonderful year and summer. Take care. Tim Moore

    1. Re: RE: [NC-PCFR] Civil War trail markers in Pitt County
    2. We are very close to having the easements and money to get the markers in place. We will be needing additional money for the landscaping and maintenance of the sites. We are collecting donations through the Pitt County Historical Society. Any and all donations no matter how big or small are appreciated and tax deductible. Please help by mailing your donations to: Pitt County Historical Society P. O. Box 1554 Greenville, NC 27835 Greene, Edgecombe and Nash counties are also installing markers for Potter's Raid. They have submitted the information and money for their markers but may still be collecting donations to help with site maintenance. If you live in those counties, please help.

    2. Thanks Trish, for making us aware of this fine local effort to recognize a part of Pitt County's history. A more detailed account of Potter's Raid through the area is at the following link: http://web.cortland.edu/woosterk/pot_raid.html When Potter's troops left Greenville late that Sunday afternoon, they rode on what is now NC Hwy 43N through Falkland, then forked right along the river on the Colonial Road past Gov. Carr's plantation, through the village of Old Sparta and on to Tarboro. Several of my ancestors lived on that road between Greenville and Falkland at the time, and oral family tradition claims that the women & children hid in the woods (most of the men were off fighting) while the Yankees ransacked their homes and stole their horses. A few took potshots at the Yankees as they forded Tyson's Creek (near Pillsboro Bridge today) at dusk, but they met little resistance until on their way back to New Bern when the 50th NC Infantry and parts of the 7th NC Cavalry caught up with them at Otters Creek. We believe that my gr-grandfather A.A. Forbes, who was chief bugler of the 7th Cavalry, was among them. Glad to see we aren't forgetting the sacrifices of those times....

    1. RE: [NC-PCFR] Greenwreath Park
    2. Well Roger and all, I guess the proverbial Cat's out the Bag concerning "Greenwreath Park" and whatever other name this notorious party spot may have gone by while it operated, which was for most of the 20th century right on up thru the 1960's I have heard... maybe even a little later in some decrepit fashion or another. I have hazy childhood memories of a sign on the Falkland Hwy by the dirt road to the place that said "JJJ Club," which I was told was a thinly-veiled reference to KKK meetings that were held there at the time(1960's). At that time, we kids were of course told to stay away from the place, and you better believe I did. Racial tension was bad enough every day at school, and my role was much more peace-maker than agitator. The only playmates I had in my childhood were black and I saw no problem with trying to bridge the old and archaic b/w social system by educating ourselves together. I had one heckuva hard time understanding what the trouble was all about... police in riot gear having to patrol our high school halls and fights breaking out every day. The racial problems at high school tainted my perception of the place where I grew up and bothers me to this day. But back to Greenwreath Park... some 5-10 years ago (can't remember exactly but it's been within the last decade), I found my self driving by the place with a little bit of time on my hands, and was suddenly overcome by curiosity to see what it looked like. I knew where to walk to from an aerial photo I'd seen, because the old spring pond was still there and someone told me the clubouse overlooked it. It was built on an unusually steep hillside for Pitt County terrain. The pond was swampy and had mostly filled in. The old clubhouse was crumbling and dangerous even to step inside. Some profane graffiti was on the walls and it appeared to have been last occupied by vagrants. I doubt it is anything more than a pile of rotted wood today. Roger mentioned Nelson "Nep" Hopkins, who was arguably the most famous black man of Pitt County in his day, the mid-1900's. Pitt County Chronicles Vol. I includes a writeup about him. His cooking skills were known far and wide, and besides that he had an engaging personality and love for people that made him likeable to just about everyone who came in contact with him -- who were mostly the "respectable" white establishment. Thru one means or another, ol' Nep accumulated a lot of money, and was never shy to show it as he carried around a big roll of cash. As one might expect, he also had an entourage who served as his protection as long as they got their share. Andrew, I'm sure that my father, who passed in '93, and Uncle Alf Forbes, who passed in the 80's, could have told you a lot about Greenwreath Park except for one pesky problem -they were bound by utmost secrecy. They were both fairly notorious for sewing wild oats in the 1930's of their youth. Pitt County was a relatively prosperous place even during that decade, because its economny was based on the Depression-proof tobacco weed. And its bootleg liquor flowed hard & heavy throughout the Prohibition. No doubt those were mighty heady times for Greenwreath Park!

    3. Hello, Thanks for responding. William parents are William Augustus Cannon (1852-1911) and Sarah E. Sugg (1872- 1940). His sister is Emma Doretha (1894-1975) who married Herman Frank Faulkner (1890-1957). I do not know what happened to the daughters. Only that they were raised in different homes as their mother died young and uncle Bertram could not take care of them. If you have any information I would love to know it.

    3. I have a Betsie Elizabeth Cannon (D. 1966) that married one of my Martins. Perhaps a cousin. Probably not much help. Do not know much about her family.
