A day in early Orange County...by Bebe Johns Fox We are fortunate to be able to take a peek into the new Towne at Enoe on a Sunday in 1752, as a traveling salesman, from the well established area of Suffolk, tidewater Virginia, jotted his impressions into his account book. They are delightful to read, now that great strides have been made, but Mr. Saunders no doubt spread the word that Orange was just about uninhabitable. The list of the first eight county justices were listed on page one of the Orange Count Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions. They were , among others, John Patterson, Mark Morgan, John Gray, James Watson, and Marmaduke Kimbrough. John Saunders Account Book “...James Watson (a first Justice) was kind enough to give us some corn for our horses and to put us into the new cut road for Orange Court House (current Hillsboro). In five miles we got to Eno River, “the westernmost branch of the Newse and then had a verry bad road and no water for along way but in riding fifteen miles got to Orange Court House where was Sunday and people assembled and their appearance did not prejudice me much in their favour but I soon understood they were Justices of the Court wch dispatched our fears a little and they soon left us and we had pretty good (illegible). Mr. Kimbro (justice Marmaduke Kimbrough) keeping Ordinary but the houses excessive bad being built of logs and then laid verry verry far from close that our lodging was verry airy and verry light notwithstanding we had never a window. (illegible) wanted to head on to the Pee Dee but horse had lost shoe so we back toward the Eno.” The diary, now safe at the North Carolina Archives, was found in an abandoned doctor's office in Edenton, North Carolina, by a Union soldier, in August of 1863. Also found were two old Revolutionary muskets with two thimbles of powder and twenty two buckshot. by bebe -----Original Message----- From: bebenjohn@aol.com To: ncdogs@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, Feb 4, 2010 10:23 pm Subject: Re: [NCDOGS] February 2010 newsletter now online JAMES WATSON...MORE TO COME I didn't write this...

There is an old record, in pleas and quarter sessions, I think, regarding this. If I sd. Moriah Rd. I shoulfd not have..it's Moriah CHURCH. The Patterson cem. is across from the church on Erwin Rd. the part that is still in Orange Co. but almost into Durham Co. Daddy was at the Methodist Home on Erwin in Durham bef. he died. The Hillsborough powers sent some local fellows out to Patterson's to greet and accompany Gov Tryon and his men into Hillsboro. Justice John Patterson was my grandmother's ancestor as one of his daughter's m. Luke Bynum from whom I descend twice through Bruce's1st wf., Mattie Atwater. I don't know which road wascalled the Oxford Rd. I guess whichever rd. went to the county seat of Granville...on an old map.

What would be the best way to ask if any members have any information on Andrew Griffin who had land on the Flatt River? He was a Regulator and Jesse Benton was a witness for his second marriage to Nancy Rutherford. He lived near a Robert Gray, Thomas Griffin and Patrick Rutherford. He paid taxes in Hillsborough, and served on many juries. His daughter Mary Griffin married a James Watkins. He died in Salisbury, Rowan, NC, in 1800 and left a will. He sold his land to James Watson.

Hi, Ginny & Richard.... In case, you didn't know tonight from 9:30-10pm, UNC-TV is airing a local area documentary called "Bern and New Bern: 300 Years Later." The following link provides lots of info about the program. http://www.unctv.org/bern/index.html Hope it's helpful to all those with ancestors in that city. Maybe producer Rob Holliday would be willing to speak at a D-OGS event. Enjoy, Nerissa P-S: This program is followed by an American Experience show called "Harlem in Montmartre."

Al, I looked at the UNC NC Maps collection and found an "Oxford Road" listed on a 1913 map of Hillsborough. It appears to be the present route of Saint Mary's Road going northeast out of town. Here is the URL of that map: http://dc.lib.unc.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/ncmaps&CISOPTR=492&CISOBOX=1&REC=10 This is a great collection of maps. I suggest that you browse around it. The homepage for their full collection is http://www.lib.unc.edu/maps/ you might try looking at the Trading Path Association website: http://www.tradingpath.org/. They have a "maps" section on the sidebar with some great old maps. -- Richard =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Richard K.

The difficulty is identifying the specific "Hillsboro Oxford" route. In my transcribing of the road and bridge records of both Orange and Granville County, was the use of certain "route" names. The 1808 and 1833 maps show the numerous roads from Hillsboro to Oxford. Numerous being three key routes. The Flat and Little River fords are the key elements in locating the routes - for Orange County and the Tar River for Granville. The actual roads today are similar to the old roads, mainly at the river crossings (bridges). Do you have the 1833 map? Is there a specific location or plantation on this route or river crossing that could help "zero in" to the specific route (which of the three)?

Especially the directorship since it doesn't entail a lot of duties except participation. It makes me worried about the future of D-OGS. I'm just reviewing what we discussed. The speaker we recruited is Frank Depasquale. He is mentioned here on the Preservation Durham website as an award winner in 2000. http://www.preservationdurham.org/awards/bartlett_past.html He's near the bottom of the page. We asked for April because we will be gone in May and June and we want to be there to introduce him. We also discussed having the meeting at Duke Homestead because he needs to set up a slide projector and we will need to get him a screen.

Did you meet on Feb the 3rd, I could find no mention of not meeting. Harriet Harman

Thanks so much!!! He just sent us all an email! Idon't travel anymore but bet my husband would love to to Hillsborough when Earl speaks.. I have some slave info from Orange Co, as well. One is Aunt Nelly Strowd who m. hmmm Tony, last name was Strayhorn. He founded several black churches in Orange. A woman reporter from C.H, ca 40 yrs. ago.....I have the newspaper here somewhere...interviewed Aunt Nelly when she was 100 yrs old! Nelly told that her daddy belonged to my Bryant Strowd and as a 12 or so years of age she PLOWED W MY G G UNCLE, WILSON AKA WILSE STROWD, BEHIND A MULE NAMED DUCK!!! WILSON'S BROTHER, MY G G GRANDFATHER, W.F. STROWD, IS THE VERY MAN WHO WAS GIVEN ALEXANDER ATWATER AS A WEDDING GIFT....HARD TO IMAGINE NOW, ISN'T IT!!, WHO WAS PRETTY YOUNG, MAYBE 12 OR 13, TO GO TO THE CIVIL WAR AS HIS BODY SERVANT. AFTER THE WAR ALEX. WORKED AS A DRAYMAN AT BULL DURHAM TOBACCO CO. IN DURHAM, MARR. AND HAD A NUMBER OF CHILDREN...THE REPORTER SD. THERE S WERE 3 THINGS DECORATING THE WALLS IN ALEX'S LIV. ROOM....A PIC OF JESUS AND THE STARS AND BARS OF THE CONFEDRACY AND SOMETHING ELSE. IN THIS CASE, I THINK HE WAS HAPPY THAT HE DID NOT GO NORTH...WHY??? BECAUSE HE HAD AT LEAST 2 PENSIONS, MAYBE 3, BUTTT DID HAVE ONE FROM THE TOBACCO CO. AND THE STATE OF NC FOR HIS SERVICE!!! OUR FAMILY, NOT ME AS I WASN'T B. UNTIL 1938, AND THE INTERVIEW WAS IN THE 40'S, LOVED NELLY AND ALEX. AND EMELINE, THE LATTER TO WHOM THEY GAVE 30 A. OF THEIR FARM IN CHATHAM CO. I HAVE NELLY'S PIC STANDING WITH OL COUNTRY DOC, BRAXTON AKA BRACK LLOYD IN CARRBORO..BRACK, LIKEMANY IN THE CHAPEL HILL AND CARRBORO AREA WERE CHARACTORS...INC BRACK, AS WELL AS , I BELIEVE, MY OWN G;FATHER, char-AC-tors!!! LOVE IT.

The program will be a grand tour of the new library facility. Come join us for this inside look at all the new things (and some old things) that the new library building has to offer. The old NC Room collection from the old library on Tryon Street has been relocated to the 2nd floor of the new building. Come see where those research materials are now housed. We will be meeting in the main meeting room on the first floor. -- Richard =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Richard K.
