Brigadier General Ambrose Burnside, a friend and business associate of McClellan's, was selected to command the operation. General Burnside set out to secure a fleet capable of carrying 15,000 men. Seventy-five vessels were obtained, which Burnside referred to as a "motley fleet." It included barges outfitted with steam engines and propellers, ferry boats, passenger steamers, and tug boats. The assortment of vessels assembled for departure at Fort Monroe, Virginia. The fleet "set out" in early January, 1862, with Burnside commanding from the little tug boat named "Picket," the smallest vessel in the entire fleet. The violent storms in mid-January cost him several of his ships and men. Burnside didn't have Doppler radar and doubtfully understood a "nor'easter," which hit near Hatteras Island. By early February, the amphibious Army had successfully taken Hatteras Island and Roanoke Island. After their capture, Burnside sent out units to invade several towns and villages near North Carolina's northeast coast. This invasion became known by historians as "The Burnside Expeditions." In early March, General Burnside moved further inland to capture New Bern. The Confederates had regrouped and established their eastern-most defensive position at New Bern. Confederate General L. O'B. Branch had approximately 4,000 troops in his command. Expecting an assault by river, Branch had most of his big guns mounted toward the Neuse River. Burnside, expecting this, landed downstream and assaulted New Bern by land. The outnumbered Confederates were soon forced to withdraw and to set up defenses at Kinston. Burnside, in turn, ordered special services of "Thanksgiving" on March 16, 1862, for the victory just gained. In July, 1862, General Burnside was called back to Virginia, along with 7,000 troops to support General McClellan at Fredericksburg. General John G. Foster was left in command of the Union forces at New Bern. In the meantime, General James G. Martin had assumed the command of the Confederate brigade at Kinston. He too, along with approximately 2,000 troops, was called to Virginia by General Robert E. Lee, Commander of Confederate troops. General Nathan Evans assumed command at Kinston of the remaining 2,014 troops. Union General Foster continued "expeditions" into eastern North Carolina villages during the summer and fall of 1862. He began planning his most ambitious inland assault in the late fall. His goals were to capture Kinston, destroy the gunboat being built at Whitehall, and to burn the Wilmington-Weldon railroad bridge at Goldsboro, a vital supply link for General Lee.

Hello Group.... This is Number 5 ... the last article in this series.... still trying to obtain Article One for you. Kinston FreePress http://www.kinston.com/ Union takes Kinston; many captured, wounded December 14, 2004 Lonnie Blizzard Special to The Free Press Editor's note: Lonnie Blizzard, former president of Lenoir Community College and a member of the Historical Preservation Group's Battle Commission, presents Part 5 in a five-part series focused on the first battle of Kinston during the Civil War. The battle for Kinston continued on Dec. 14,, 1862. Some junior officers' reports separate the two days as Dec. 13th, the Battle of Southwest Creek, which is often confused with later actions along Southwest Creek, and the Dec. 14th Battle of Kinston. Preferably, it was a two-day Battle of Kinston. From Gen. John G. Foster's report: Sunday, the 14th instant, I advanced the column, and when about 1 mile from Kinston encountered the enemy in strong force. They were posted in strong position in the wood, taking advantage of the ground, which formed a natural breastwork. Their position was secured on their right by a deep swamp and their left was partially protected by the river. Much detail follows in Foster's official report about how he maneuvered his forces to advance upon the Confederate's final line of defense. He continues: Which, with the advanced already made (slowly, but surely) of the entire line, forced the enemy to retreat precipitately for the bridge over the Neuse, which they crossed, firing the bridge, which had been prepared for that purpose. Several regiments were so close, however, that about 400 prisoners were taken from the enemy. A line was formed to the river and the fire extinguished before great damage was done. Gen. Nathan Evans' final line of defense, referred to in Foster's report, ran from the Neuse River near APAC-Barrus Construction Company and formed an arc behind King's Restaurant, across U.S. 258 near Measley Road, and tied in to a deep swamp near the Comfort Inn. Only about 800 feet of the earthworks are still standing just east of U.S. 258. Evans' 2,000 troops lay in wait for the attack to begin. From his official report: On the morning of the 14th (Sunday), being informed by Colonel Radcliffe that the enemy was approaching his position, I directed him to open fire while I would attack his left. I ordered an immediate advance, and soon became engaged with my whole line with the enemy in heavy force - supposed to be about 20,000. The action lasted three hours, when ascertaining his greatly superior force, I retired with my command across the Neuse Bridge, when the enemy pursued with heavy fire, stormed the bridge, and drove me back to the town of Kinston, capturing about 400, including no (number of) sick prisoners. Evans' right flank was commanded by Col. Peter Mallet. The bridge across the Neuse was known as the Jones' Bridge and was just downstream from the present bridge. There was also action along the Neuse River. Three navy gunboats and five steamboats were sent upstream to assist Foster's land forces. Confederate Col. S.D. Pool had a battalion of heavy artillery well entrenched below Kinston on the north side of the river. A combination of obstructions, low water and Pool's guns kept the fleet from reaching Kinston, however. Evans withdrew his troops from Kinston and proceeded toward Whitehall and Goldsboro on the north side of the river. General Foster and his troops spent the night of Dec. 14 in Kinston before recrossing the bridge and burning it. They proceeded toward Whitehall and Goldsboro on December 15th on the south side of the river. Foster's inland expedition resulted in 90 Union soldiers killed, 478 wounded, and nine missing. On the Confederate side, 71 were killed, 268 wounded, and over 400 captured. Typically, many of the wounded died within a few days after the battles. No lasting results were accomplished; Kinston was vacated without major damage, the gunboat at Whitehall survived, and the railroad bridge at Goldsboro was quickly repaired. Foster and all the Union troops returned to New Bern by Dec. 21, 1862. © 2004 by Freedom ENC Communications. All rights reserved.

Hello Group... More of the same.... interesting bits of our Southern History! Enjoy! Jewelle Kinston FreePress 13 Dec 04 http://www.kinston.com/ Union, Confederates clash at Kinston December 13, 2004 Lonnie Blizzard Special to The Free Press Editor's note: Lonnie Blizzard, former president of Lenoir Community College and a member of the Historical Preservation Group's Battle Commission, presents Part 4 in a five-part series focused on the first battle of Kinston during the Civil War. On the morning of Dec. 13, 1862, Union Gen. John G. Foster's troops encountered Confederates along the Wilmington Road near Woodington. Foster ordered his units into battlefield formations about three quarters of a mile from the creek. The following is taken from General Foster's official report: "On Saturday, the 13th - We reached Southwest Creek, the bridge over which was destroyed, and the enemy posted on the opposite bank, some 400 strong, with three pieces of artillery. The creek was not fordable, and ran at the foot of a deep ravine, making a very bad position for us. I ordered a battery in as good a position as could be obtained, and under their fire the Ninth New Jersey, which had the advance, pushed gallantly across the creek by swimming, by fragments of the bridge and by a mill-dam, and formed on the opposite bank. At the same time the Eighty-fifth Pennsylvania, of General Wessells' brigade, forced a passage by the felling of trees and fording about half a mile below bridge, and engaged the enemy's left, who thereupon retired and deserted his breastworks." The destroyed bridge referred to in Foster's report was just upstream from the present bridge. About 4,000 feet of the earthworks on the north side of the creek are still well defined. About 600 feet were destroyed by a bulldozer in 2002. The mill dam is still in place, with the millhouse pilings clearly visible. It is about one-fourth mile upstream from the bridge. The following is taken from Confederate Gen. Nathan Evan's official report: "On Saturday, the 13th instant, the enemy approached Kinston in considerable force and attacked the line of our forces under the immediate command of Col. James D. Radcliffe, North Carolina Troops, who had taken position on the west side of Southwest Creek. At 10 o'clock, I arrived on the ground and assumed command, and ordered Colonel Radcliffe to take command of the left wing at the crossing of the upper Trent Road. The enemy then was attacked at Hines' Mill while he attempted to cross the creek. After a sharp engagement of an hour, I fell back toward the Neuse River, keeping line of battle and arresting his approach about 2 miles from Kinston Bridge. He then attacked in considerable force, but retired after an engagement of ten hours. I rested on my arms that night in this position, the enemy ceasing fire after nightfall." Hines' Mill referred to in Evan's report was sold to Waller Brothers about 1900 and became known as the Waller Mill. It is estimated that 2,000 Union troops crossed Southwest Creek on Dec. 13. The remaining 10,000 made camp for the night on the south side of the creek. One Massachusetts soldier wrote that they spent the night in a pleasant grove around a little church called Woodington; actually it was the Woodington Meeting House built in 1829. It was used for community meetings and by several denominations for periodic church services. It has been moved from its original site and is now being used as a storage building on the Rigsbee Farm in the Woodington community. © 2004 by Freedom ENC Communications. All rights reserved.

Hello Group, Here is Part 3. Enjoy!! Kinston FreePress 12 Dec 04 http://www.kinston.com/ Union troops remain Kinston-bound December 12, 2004 Lonnie Blizzard Special to the Free Press Editor's note: Lonnie Blizzard, former president of Lenoir Community College and a member of the Historical Preservation Group's Battle Commission, presents Part 3 in a five-part series focused on the first battle of Kinston during the Civil War. After a cold night's rest, Union Gen. John G. Foster ordered his men to continue the advance inland. They marched about 10 more miles along Trent Road to an intersection near Sasser's Mill. The right fork led directly to Kinston, according to Foster's report. Actually, it intersected with Dover Road at Wyse Forks, which to the left, led directly to Kinston (U.S. 70). Foster sent three cavalry companies up this road "to make a demonstration." His objective was to fool the Confederates dug in along Southwest Creek into thinking it was a direct attack. Foster and the main column of troops took the left fork, the upper Trent Road, for about four more miles before making camp. This today is along Middle Road in Jones County. Foster and his men camped near Shady Grove Church. Meanwhile, the three companies that proceeded toward Kinston on lower Trent Road (Wyse Forks Road) encountered two Confederate scouts. After being captured, they revealed that Confederate infantrymen were at the Becton Farm near Wyse Forks. Union troops dismantled and "sneaked up" on the Becton farmhouse and killed 13 Confederates, captured 11, and burned the house. By this time, it was dark. The three Union companies had difficulty in rejoining the main column. Foster had ordered no campfires that night. He was so near the Confederate line that he was afraid the fires would reveal his position. It was about 10 p.m. before the three companies could rejoin the main force. Foster used a similar maneuver the next day by sending a small contingent of Union troops "to feint an attack along the upper Trent Road" (N.C. 58). Once again, they determined that Confederates were dug in well along Southwest Creek (near Patterson's Chapel). After probing the enemy's position to determine its strength, Union forces withdrew "at a crossroads" (near Southwood School) before returning to the main column. Foster's march on Dec. 13 continued west parallel to Vine Swamp. This route today is Lightwood Knot Road. Again, his idea was to fool the Confederates into thinking he was coming to Kinston on one of the lower roads crossing Southwest Creek. However, he decided that the old Wilmington Road (today U.S. 258) would be the best route to make his attack. He surmised that the Confederates would be less prepared for an attack here than they would be at one of the three lower crossings, which would have lead more directly to Kinston from New Bern. Upon reaching a crossroads (Sandy Foundation), Foster turned his column northeast along the Wilmington Road. It wasn't long before advancing cavalry scouts reported back to Foster that they had been fired upon by Confederates who were dug in on the north side of Southwest Creek.

Hello Group... The beginning article of the below Civil War series was not uploaded to the paper's website but I am trying to obtain a copy for you. Meanwhile, I'm posting the others for your perusal and enjoyment. Jewelle Kinston FreePress http://www.kinston.com/ Union troops begin march to Kinston December 11, 2004 Lonnie Blizzard Special to The Free Press Editor's note: Lonnie Blizzard. Former president of Lenoir Community College and a member of the Historical Preservation Group's Battle Commission, presents Part 2 in a five-part series focused on the first battle of Kinston during the Civil War. By late fall 1862, Gen. John G. Foster, commander of Union Force at New Bern, had built the strength of his forces to about 18,000. He was ready to move further inland and try to cut off supply routes to the Confederate troops in Virginia. One hundred and forty years ago today, Dec. 11, 1862, a "splendid winter morning," Foster ordered the expedition to proceed. His forces for the march numbered about 12,000 strong, including 10,000 infantry, 300 pioneers (black troops), 40 pieces of artillery, and 640 cavalry, plus more than 200 supply wagons. The third New York cavalry was dispatched as scouts on the advance and on the side of the march. They were to act as provost guards to protect homes and probe the Confederate defenses. Foster took Trent Road west from New Bern. The Confederates obstructed his way by "falling trees, burning bridges, and setting up pickets." Foster was not pleased because he only advanced 14 miles on the first day. The column of troops was 4 ??les long. Trent Road out of New Bern today is Trent Boulevard. It intersects U.S. 17 and roughly follows it to Ten-Mile Fork. There, Trent Road follows Ten-Mile Fork Road across N.C. 41 where it changes its name to Wyse Forks Road. About four miles west of Ten-Mile Fork, Foster ordered his troops to make camp. During the night, some of the infantry advanced through the swamps to within three miles of Trenton. They engaged a company of Confederate troops and battled for a short time. A number of Confederates were killed or wounded, including the company captain. Four Union soldiers were taken prisoner by the Confederates, and two were wounded. The night was cold, especially for the troops trying to get their rest in bed rolls and sleeping out in the open. In fact, the water in their containers froze during the night. They were awakened the next morning to the sound of drum beats. Roaring fires were built from rail fencing. It warmed the men and thawed their water. After a hearty breakfast of hardtack and coffee, Foster ordered the march to continue. Meanwhile, the pioneers, working with the engineers, had pushed forward during the night, clearing trees the Confederates had cut across the road and rebuilding wooden bridges that had been burned. Trent Road in 1862 forked near Sasser's Mill. The road "leading directly to Kinston" was called lower Trent Road. It intersected with Dover Road at Wyse Forks. The upper Trent Road today is Middle Road and intersects N.C. 58 at Leslie White's store. Both roads cross Southwest Creek, which was the Confederates' outer line of defense for Kinston. Two other roads also led into Kinston: the Neuse Road and the Wilmington Road (today U.S. 258). © 2004 by Freedom ENC Communications. All rights reserved.

Hello Group.... The below article will be of interest to many of you. Mark your calendars to visit Kinston on your next trip to N.C..... (invitation to all of our Locals and surrounding communities also :) while here, remember that one of the best genealogy resources .. next to the Archives... is located at Heritage Place, Lenoir Community College. Read on: Kinston Free Press http://www.kinston.com/ Memorial site and Civil War battlefield dedicated December 12, 2004 LaToya Mack staff writer Sam King said he and his brother, Wil, spent time as young boys playing on the grounds where the first battle of Kinston was fought, pretending to be soldiers in that battle. On Saturday, that battlefield was dedicated in Wil King's honor. History buffs and other interested parties gathered Saturday to celebrate the dedication of the First Battle of Kinston Battlefield and Wil King Memorial. Wil King died in 2003. He devoted much of his time to preserving Lenoir County's Civil War history. "He understood well what the past could mean to our future," said Jane Phillips, president of the Historical Preservation Group. "He felt strongly about people learning the true story about the Civil War - both the good and the bad." Completing the site took 18 months of planning. "We hope that we can preserve that part of the history and educate people about what happened here," said Lonnie Blizzard, chairman of the Lenoir County Battlefields Commission. The battlefield, at Meadowbrook and Harriet drives behind King's Restaurant, was where the first Union soldiers crossed Kinston. Former Lenoir County Commissioner Oscar Herring said it is important to celebrate Lenoir County's Civil War history. "This is an exciting day in Lenoir County," Herring said. "We must preserve our history because if we don't, it will be lost to future generations." The dedication honored all the men who fought in the Civil War - Confederate, Union, black and white. Kinston Mayor Johnnie Mosley encouraged the groups involved in preserving the battlefields to remember all groups in their efforts. "We have a diverse population," Mosley said. "We should be participating as a unit. Â. We must find a way to have all of us participating in the history we are preserving." Dale Theetge, commander of the N.Y. Sons of Union Veterans, said the men who fought in the war had a lot in common despite their differences. Dedicating the site is an important way to honor those who fought. "We need to remember that there were men who fought and died here and honor that memory," Theetge said. "As long as we do that, they will not have died in vain." Confederate representative Bob Tolar said visiting battle sites and honoring the memory of those who fought is not honoring war. "Other countries had civil wars. Â. What sets America apart is, when (the war) was over, it was over," Tolar said. "That's what makes America a great country. Â. America didn't just happen; it was people like our ancestors - North, South, black and white."

I do not know the parents of John Grimes but everything I have found indicates that William McKinne (1728-bef.Apr.1793) was married to John's daughter. Some speculation is that her name is Mary, nothing proven. They had daughters Mary, Nancy and Amy.

Does anyone know who this John Grimes might have been the son or brother of ? Was John Grimes dau. married to Wm McKinne who was a close friend to Gov. Richard Caswell? Thanks for any updates . http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/nc/wayne/historic/bicet003.tx On the second Monday in July, 1782, the court sat again at John Herring's plantation. Among other business, William McKinne, Sr. was appointed commissioner to collect the Specific Provision Tax as provided by an act of the General Assembly. McKinne was a wealthy planter, member of the vestry of Christ Church Parish in Craven County, delegate to the Provicial Congresses of 1775 & 1776, member of the colonial Assembly, militia colonel during the Revolution, close friend & political supporter of Gov. Richard Caswell & one of the committee appointed by the Assembly to lay off the new county of Wayne in 1779. He was married to a daughter of John Grimes of Dobbs County & had extensive plantations in what became Wayne county. His prestige was no doubt needed to collect the special tax from citizens already overtaxed & fighting against such measures.
