I have a copy of the 1820 Tax Lists Franklin County NC with Louisburg 1818 and 1821. I will gladly do lookups from this book. People on the Franklin County mailing list have helped me and I want to return the favors. Julie

I copied a page from the book, Franklin Co NC 1815 Tax List compiled by R. Richardson, listing ROBERT PARSLEY, and failed to copy the information telling what the columns were. Could someone please tell me what the ten columns on the tax list are? In column 4 he has the number 1 and in column 5 the number 3. thanks for help. Julie

Murphy's mills, on Haw-River in this county, a pair of machines for carding wool into rolls. The machines are new, and the cards of a superior quality. It is necessary that wool brought to these machines should be free from burs and other hard substances, as they injure the cards. It should also be washed clean of dirt, and one pound of clean grease should be added to every ten or twelve pounds of wool. A sufficiency of tow or linen sheets (not woolen) should be brought to put the rolls in. Merino[?] wool can be carded, if those who have it will prepare it in the following manner. Take rain or river water, boil it, to which add at equal quantity of cold urine: stir the wool in this until the grease is extracted from the body of the wool and rises to the top, then take it out, rinse it in clear water, dry it, and it is ready for carding. The same preparation will do for the next and succeeding parcels. If the above directions cannot be attended to (which is best), wash the wool well in a strong soap suds. Work cannot be well done unless these directions are observed. The advertise of a never failing stream will enable me to accommodate all who may favour me with their custom. Customers from a distance shall meet with dispatch, and every exertion will be used to have the work well done and expeditiously. Samuel S.

Since I got such great response from the first one, I transcribed another. These and more can (or will) be found at my website, eventually scanned in entirety: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~freshnup/markmurph/ Again, please feel free to share these with others, especially those on the Orange Co. NC list or otherwise. Good thief story for Granville Co. also. I have borrowed three microfilm rolls of this newspaper, 1820-1834, 1833- 1842 and 1878-1879. Mostly researching Murph(e)y family, but will add interesting stories as I see them. Also, will try to add anything slave-related for our African American brothers and sisters. I know that genealogy is REALLY hard to work on! ******* [Excerpts from the "Hillsborough Recorder", 5 July 1820] [Hillsborough, Orange County, North Carolina] [transcribed by Mark Murphy, 7 May 2001] Vol.1, No. 22, Wednesday, July 5, 1820 ----- Notice All persons related to James S. Smith or indebted to James S. Smith, are requested to settle those accounts, as he can give no further indulgence. J.S. Smith, Hillsborough, June 26[?] ----- All persons indebted to the law firm of James Jefferson, either by note or otherwise, are requested to come forward and make payment, as no indulgence can be given. Either of the subscribers are authorized to grant discharges. Josiah Turner and James S. Smith, Surviving partners, Hillsborough, June 20. ----- Notice is hereby given, That at the last M. yesterday of Court of Pleas and Quarter sessions, held for the county of Orange, letters of administration on the personal estate of William Bond, late of Tennessee, deceased, was granted to the subscriber; all persons endebted to said estate, are requested to make payment and those having claims against the same, are hereby notified to present themselves at the time prescribed by law, otherwise [?] will be pleaded at the end of [?] David Yarbrough Hillsborough, June 12, 1820 ---- Dissolution The copartnership of Wm. Huntington & Co. was this day dissolved by mutual consent. All persons indebted to said concern are requested to call on either of the subscribers as early as possible, and close their respective accounts; as they are resolved to have their accounts closed by bonds or otherwise. Wm Huntinton, John Van Hook, jr. Hillsborough, June 6th 1820. The business will be continued by Wm Huntinton, who has on hand a handsome assortment of Watches, Jewelry, Silver Ware &c. which he will sell very low for cash, or on a credit to those whose punctuality can be relied on. Watches & c. repaired at the shortest notice, and warranted. Wm. Huntington. ----- Taken up and committed to Jail. A Negro man, who calls himself John, and says that he was purchased by a Mr. Turner, a negro trader, sometime in April last from Thomas Spam in Gloucester county, Virginia, that he ran away from the said Turner about three or four weeks ago. The said negro John appears to be about twenty-eight or thirty years old, stout body, five feet five and a half inches high. The owner is requested to come forward, prove his property pay charges, and take him away. James Clancy, Jailor. Hillborough, June 10. ----- Post Office. The subscriber takes this method of informing the public generally, that there will be no more credit given at the post office for postage account after the last day of this month. All those that are indebted for postage will call and settle the amount on the first of July next, as no longer indulgence can or will be given. Those who wish to keep an account can do so by making deposits in advance. Richard L. Cook, P.M. June 16th, 1820 ----- To the Benevolent and Humane. John Dziekansky, a young man from Rosenburg, in the kingdom of Prussia, and a cloth maker by trade, left Amsterdam in August, 1818, on board a vessel bound to North America. His brother, Joseph Dziekansky, now living in Rosenburg, not having received the smallest information of either his arrival, or where he might have settled himself, is extremely anxious to be apprized whether his brother John is yet alive, and in what part of the United States he might be sojourning. He begs, therefore, the aid of the citizens of the United States , should any have a knowledge of said John Dziekansky, or should this advertisement come to the immediate hearing of the person himself, to inform, without delay, the subscriber, living in the city fo Washington, where he will hear particulars much to his satisfaction. Any information respecting the above named person will be thankfully received, and a lasting obligation conferred on a much distressed brother. Frederick Cana. Printers throughout the United States will please lend a devouting[?] hand to the above advertisement by giving a few insertions in their papers. F.C. Washington City, June 6. ----- Accident- A Congaree Boat, loaded chiefly with stone lime, caught fire on the night of the 15th inst. in Dewee's Inlet, in consequence fo the salt water reaching the lime. Before the fire could be subdued, it had approached two kegs of gunpowder on board and blew up the boat. A Negro Woman and Child were blown into the water, and before assistance could be rendered, the latter was drowned. Property in the amount of three thousand dollars, belonging to the Board of Public Works, was destroyed, together with other freight. Ch. So. Pat. 19th ult. ----- Savannah, June 17, 1820. A few days since a negro fellow, named George, was tried by the Judges of the Inferior Court for this county, and found guilty of attempting a rape on a white girl and was sentenced to be hanged on the 28th instant. ----- >From a passenger in the schooner Mary Ann, arrived at Charleston from Havanna, we learn that on the 12th inst. all the American citizens confined in the Moro Castle, who had been captured on board Patriot vessels, were set at liberty by the government. The number was 28. ----- Mrs. Wilson, wife of the Editor of the Western Herald of Steubenville, Ohio, was a few weeks since delivered of three living children, two boys and one girl, who are all likely to do well !!!! ----- The journal published by the Rev. Daniel Coker, says the Baltimore Chronicle, gives a very favorable specimen of the future civilization of the African race. A settlement, under the benevolent auspices of the Colonization Society, has already taken place, and the most cheering anticipations are formed of the result. Works of so much magnitude cannot be expected to be accomplished in a day. Ethiopia, we do believe, is destined, hereafter, "to stretch forth her hands," but, the beam of Christian light will be gradual and progressive. ----- Arms of the State of Maine The legislature of our robust eastern sister Maine, are busily engaged organizing the new government and proceed with great harmony and unanimity.... ----- The Eastern papers inform us, that the SEA SERPENT has again made his appearance. This mighty monster of the deep set alike at defiance the Yankee fishermen and their harpoons, and appears determined to convince scepticism itself, that he is the monarch of the deep. The adventurous captain Rich may yet have an opportunity to redeem his character; and should he make another cruize in quest of His Snakeship, we hope he will return with a richer prize that a Horse Mackerel! ----- Married, On Thursday last, by David Allison, esq. Mr. William Ringstaff to Miss Martha Hill, daughter of Eli Hill, all of this county. ------ Robbery. On my way home from Petersburg home, on the night of the 27th June last, my wagon box was broken open, in the county of Granville, seven miles below Goshen, and a large red morocco pocket book taken out had in it eighteen dollars in money, on ten dollar note and two of four; also two notes of hand, one on Isaac Mitchell (near Petersburg) for two hundred and thirty dollars, given about the last of October or first of September, 1819, and one on Peyton Wood, of Granville, for six dollars, with a credit on it for four dollars; Mitchell's note had two credits, one for twenty-seven dollars, the other one for one hundred dollars. There was also taken at the same time, a razor case, razors, box and brush; the razors were small, and both had white handles. I do hereby forewarn all persons from trading for said notes, or the said Peyton Wood or Isaac Mitchell from paying them to any person except myself, as I have never traded or assigned the same away to any person. It is hoped that all good people will keep a look out, and any information will be thankfully received. Wm. D. Ray Orange county, July 1. ----- List of Letters Remaining at the Post Office in Hillsborough, N.C. July 1, 1820. [long list omitted] .....A.D. Murphy, Jr...... ----- A Taylor wanted. A Person of the above profession, well acquainted with his business, might do well at this place. Heretofore a very good business has been done here, but at present no business of the kind is carried on in less than ten mile from this place. Leasburg, 20th June, 1820. [end of excerpts]

Please pass this on to whomever you feel would like it.--Mark [Excerpts from the "Hillsborough Recorder", April 5, 1820] [Hillsborough, Orange County, North Carolina] [transcribed by Mark Murphy, 7 May 2001] Vol.1, No. 9, Wednesday, April 5, 1820 ------- Notice: The attention of the public is requested in the following statement. On the evening of Saturday the 19th instant, the house of the subscriber, on Swift Creek, was entered during her absence, by John Bryan, and a free mulattoe girl named Dicey Moore, the daughter of Lydia Moore, was forcibly taken and carried away in a chair by the said Bryan. It is believed that he has a forged bill of sale for the girl, purporting to have been executed by her mother, and it is feared that he has carried the girl to the south, with the intention of selling her. Dicey Moore has lived with the subscriber ever since she was fifteen months old, and the fact of her freedom can be proved beyond the possibility of a doubt. She is now about seventeen years old, five feet high, with a yellowish complexion, black bushy hair, and wears rings in her ears. Bryan is about six feet high has blue eyes, is a little round shouldered, and has a long nose. The editors of southern papers are requested to give the foregoing as insertions in their respective papers, as possibly it may save from a state of slavery this girl, who has unquestionable right to her freedom. Catherine Free, Swift Creek, Craven County, February 25, 1820. -------- Paris, February 17 When Louvel was interrogated on Monday, by the minister of the interior, why, if he did not fear death, had he fled after assassinating the prince--he replied cooly-- In order that he might be able to kill another. ----- The London Statesman asserts, that Louis XVIII, will not send any troops to the frontiers of Spain. ---- Married, In Wayne county, on the 14th ult. Mr. Bartholemew Crab, in the 66th year of his age, to Miss Susan Candy, aged 16. On the 8th March, at the seat of col. J.T. Avery, Mr. John Murphey, to Miss Margaret S. Avery, all of Burke county. ----- Died, In Franklin county, on the 20th ult. Mrs. Sally Harrison, consort of Wm. Harrison, Esq. merchant, after a long and tedious affliction of nearly 6 months. She has left an afflicted and disconsolate husband, and five children to morn over the loss sustained by death of an affectionate wife and truly indulgent mother. ---- Houses and Lots in Hillsborough for sale, adjoining the widow Childs, and others. I will give a great bargain on them, as I have no use for them. The situation is elegant, and would answer well for a tavern. They are twelve acre lots. Also a strong young Negro fellow, a good farmer, and can work at, the carpenter's business. Also a new waggon and geers; never used. To prevent trouble, the house where I live will not be sold. Barnabas O'Farril, April 3. ----- 30 Dollars Reward. Ran away from Johnston county, NC. on the 2d instant, Kimbre Vinson and Larkin Vinson, aged about twenty-two and fourteen years. They carried off with them five Negroes, viz. Jack, aged about forty-two, a woman aged about twenty-six, and three children, boys, the eldest about five years of age. Jack is about five feet eleven inches high; the woman is over the common size, and far advanced in pregnancy. They carried off with them a old chair, both shafts broken, and a small poor bay mare, with a blaze face. It is supposed they are aiming for Georgia or Alabama. Thirty dollars will be given by us for securing the Negroes so that we get them again, and all reasonable charges paid. Samuel G. Smith, Ray Helms Should the above described Negroes be caught or heard of, we wish information to be given to the post master at Smithfield, N.C. March 25, 1820. [end of extract]
