BALDWIN of Pennsylvania to Orange/Chatham Co NC and families they came with. Francis Baldwin and Cicley Coeborn [daughter of Thomas Coeborn] came to Pennsylvania from England. Land was in Chester Co. but the part that later became Delaware. He died in 1702. John Baldwin married Hannah Cloud [daughter of Jeremiah Cloud and Ann Bailey] died 1744 in New Castle Delaware. Left children named in his will: Francis [the only one to stay in Delaware], Hannah, Sarah married John Pyle and went to Chatham Co., Mary married Nicholas Pyle and went to Chatham, Elizabeth married James Hulkin, William, and John who married Margaret York. Besides the ones we already know about--- Lindley, Holiday, Hadley, Pyle and Hollingsworth that showed up in NC, I find Baker, Dixon, Lewis, Howlett, Lindsey, Perry, Strayhorn, Craig, and Clouds in Chatham and Orange that were in Pa/Delaware with the Baldwins. This Baldwin family started out in Burks Co., Pa and are thought to be descended from a Thomas that was the immigrant. John Baldwin was pretty easy to track in NC, but I still can't figure out William's children --except for the obvious William married to Martha Cook. There is a James, Joshua and a Rebecca who married a Craig. Who could be either's children. The old Baldwin Mill on Terrell's Creek has now been restored and placed on the Historical Register. Anyone that can help fill in on this Baldwin line? ==== NCORANGE Mailing List ==== Larry Noah - lrnoah@bigfoot.com - Listowner - NCORANGE mailing list Orange Co, NC USGenWeb site is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncorange

Hi Group: I am researching the Pugh family that lived in the Orange Co. NC area in the mid 1700's. We know that Jessie Pugh (dob 1732)(my ancestor) the son of Thomas Pugh, moved from VA to NC somewhere about 1760 or so, then on to Wilks Co. GA in 1788. Jessie was the brother of the James Pugh, the Regulator that was hanged by the British at Hillsborough, 19 June 1771 with the other Regulator leaders. I need information on some of Thomas Pugh's other children, Enoch, Mary, Thomas Jr. and John. We think that they were all Quakers but can't prove it. I am also interested in the Robert Stewart family that lived in the area in the middle 1700's also. I would appreciate any help from the group.

Hi All, I am still looking for any information about that can link my Edward Netty COOK to John and Sarah COOK, who I believe were his parents. There are two Orange County deeds mentioned in this Cook History Book by Earl Cook. One is dated 19 July 1813, mentions a John Cook leaving land (on Stoney Creek) to his children, Edward, James, John, Archibald, and William and Martha Baldwin and Henry King. The other deed is dated 31 Aug 1816, with the same children's names, looks like they are selling part of the land ( if I am reading it correctly ) to a J.H. Gant, ( it again mentions Stoney Creek of Haw River). I would like to find some other proof that this is my Edward Cook his father John Cook. Does anyone have any suggestions for me, as to where to go from here? Would there perhaps be an Orange Co. newspaper that may have birth announcements or obituaries that may link the two together? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am working with some land grants in early Orange and I note the current topo maps show two Cane Creeks flowing into the Haw River -- one for the east (now Orange) and one from the west (now Alamance). I also find references to "little Cain Creek" in some of the surveys. Cane and Cain are used interchangeably. Can aanyone identify which of those Cane/Cain Creeks was identified in the 1780s/1790s as "little Cain Creek?" Harold A.

Late on autumn evening in the year 1748, three emigrant families from Berks County, Pennsylvania, came upon a small clear spring, deep in the Carolina woods, and being weary from their long day's journey, decided to make camp at this place for the night. Nearby lived an old German, and the sound of the campers' axes as they chopped wood for the campfire, soon attracted the settler to their camp. Great was the old man's surprise when he discovered that the travellers were not only from the north, but that they were his former neighbors--Georg and Ludwig KLAPP, and their borther-in-law, whose name was HUNTER. The following day was the Sabbath, and the KLAPP's and HUNTER's and their host spent it in exchanging stories about the country which they had left behind them and the beautiful, forest land into which god had mysteriously led them. On Monday, Herr HUNTER and his family bade their kinsmen goodbye and headed their wagon westward, but the KLAPP brothers and their families remained behind. A short time later, the KLAPP's bought a tract of land along Beaver Creek, and within a few months after their arrival in the willderness they had erected homes and had settled down to a new life. These two families and the other "Pennsylvania Deutsh" families who were to follow them, built the first Lutheran and Reforemed churches in what is today Guilford and Alamance Counties. Like the Quaker and Presbyterian neighbors, these pioneer Germans had brought their Bibles with them, and since there were no ministers among them, they were obliged to read the Word for themselves, and to worship privately in their homes. As their new settlement grew to considerable size, the two sects became aware of the need for churches. A log building was erected near the present Lowe's Lutheran church and the Old Salisbury (trading path) road, and there the two congregations worshipped together. The village schoolmaster, and occasionally a traveling preacher, read the scriptures to them in German. They sang together the hymns in teh "Geminschaftliche Gesangbuch". In some of the early union churches, Lutheran services where held one Sunday and Reformed services the following Sunday. The Reverend Christian THEUS, pastor of St. John's Reformed Church near Columbia, SC, made several missionary tours into piedmont North Carolina between the years 1745 and 1760, and it is probable that he was the first ordained minister to preach at the old log church in Guilford. However, most of the German congregations in this section were organized by the Reverend Samuel SUTHERS. Reverend SUTHERS began his ministry in North Carolina in June, 1768, and in October, 1771, he moved to the Guilford-Orange community. About this time, sentiments grewing out of the Regulation movement caused a division in the congregation of the original union church, and Reverend SUTHERS led a number of Reformed believer to a schoolhouse near the present site of the Brick Reformed Church in Guilford, where they erected an alter and began to hold services. Among the families who founded this church were the ALBRIGHTS, CLAPPS, FAUSTS, INGOLDS, SCHAEFFERS, and others, and for a number of years the meeting house was known as "Der KLAPP Kirche." Reverend John BITHAHN moved to Guilford County from Pennsylvania about the beginning of the Revolutionary War and succeeded Reverend SUTHERS as pastor of the CLAPP Church. He had a short ministry and died one Sabbath evening after he had delivered a forceful sermon. For the next twelve years the church had no pastor. Reverend Andrew LORETS, a traveling minister of the Reformed faith, visited the congregation at CLAPP's about four times a year. In 1801 Reverend Henry DIEFFENBACH begain a six year ministry with this congregation, following which they were again without a pastor for fourteen years. Jacob CLAPP, an elder of the church, or Johannis SCHERER, the schoolmaster, were usually in the pulpit on the Sabbath and services continued, even without a pastor. In 1812 Captain William ALBRIGHT was sent to the Reformed synod in Pennsylvania to secure a pastor for the curch. Young James RILEY came. The Reverend Mr. RILEY, was an able leader, under whom the congregation greatly increased and the building of a new church was begun. The dilapidated log schoolhouse was replace by a brick structure in 1814 which became known as "the Brick Church." In 1821, the Reverend John RUDY became its pastor, and after four years he was succeeded by the Reverend J.H. CRAWFORD who preached to the "Brick Church" congregation for twelve years. The Reverend G. William WELKER took charge of the congregation in 1841, and remained there for more than forty years. In the cemetery of the Brick Church lie the remains of several of these early churchmen and many of their devout congregations. STONER's (or STEINER's) Reformed Church near Belmont was founded by members of the Brick Church in 1758, and a German missionary, Reverend LEINBACH, was one of the first to preach there. Reverend WEYBURG became its first regular pastor. The church stood on a small peninsula between Alamance and Stinking Quarters Creek. Reverend John RUDY, Reverend LORETS, and other pastors of the CLAPP or Brick church served there, but the church services were finally suspended for lack of a regualr pastor. Two miles northwest of Gibsonville stands Friedens Evangelical Lutheran Church, which was founded as a union Lutheran and Reformed meeting about 1744. The first building there was a rustic structure of roughhewn logs which was called "SCHUMAKER's Church," but in 1771 the congregation was reorganized and a two-story frame building was erected. Several buildings have replaced, but the weathered stone steps of the original church have been used to form a monument that stands today in the old church cemetery. On top of it rests an open Bible, carved from granite. In addition to his minisry at the Brick Church, Reverend SUTHER was pastor at Friedens from from 1758-1771, and several other pastors of the Brick Church later served ehre. The name "Friedens" came from an old German word signifying peace and tranquility. St. Paul's Lutheran Church, two miles below E.M. HOLT School, was formally organized in 1773, and was long known as "GRAVES' Church" because of the family who originally owned the land. It became whollly Lutheran in 1801. St. Mark's Reformed Church, a mile and a quarter south of Elon College, was organized at Friedens soon after the Brick church. About 1857, the Reformed Congregation withdrew and held service under a bush arbor two miles southeast of Gibsonville near BOONE's Station on the old stagecoach route to Salisbury. The members constructed their church building a half mile south of the arbor in 1862. These were the parent Lutheran and Reformed churches from which later congregations of these faiths are descended. There was no English sopken in these churches before 1800, and some traces of the Germanic influence remain in their rites today. Because they spoke a language foreign to their neighbors, it was a long time before the "Pennsylvania Dutch" assumed any part in the government of their county and state, yet they proved themselves industrious, hard-working and devout. The officials at Hillsboro frequently took advantage of them, and such corruption bred the discontent which led to later revolutionary riots. George GOERTNER is noted as one of the earliest civil leaders and counselers in the German Settlements. In the latter part of the eighteenth century the names of Reformed and Llutheran leaders began to appear more and more frequently in the records, and some of them betgan to enter the responsible offices of government.

I am sending this newspaper article to the list for two reasons: First.... to inform those of you who may have ancestors buried in this old cemetery, what has, and continues to be done. Second....to show that there are young folks out there that appreciate "their roots" and care about their community! From an article in the "News and Observer", Raleigh, NC 2 May 1996. p. 1 B. Two Chapel Hill Girl Scouts have led a project to clean and restore the Old Eno Presbyterian Church Cemetery established by the church in 1755 and one of the three oldest in Orange County. Amy Cloud and Erin Saleeby, seniors at Chapel Hill High School, undertook the project as part of the effort to earn the Gold Award, the Girl Scout equivalent of the Eagle Scout Award for boys. In addition to working many hours cutting and clearing brush, volunteers dug up fallen gravestones and re-erected and cleaned them: work continues to open up additional portions of the cemetery. They also raised $1500 for a new gate to the cemetery, which was installed at no charge by Gaines Steer, owner of The Last Unicorn, a Chapel Hill restoration company. The cemetery is on the west bank of Lake Orange near Cedar Grove, and formerly was on the bank of the east branch of the Eno River. It was last restored by a group under the direction of Mary Clair Engstrom and the Historic Hillsborough Commission in 1965, after having fallen to disuse and becoming inaccessible after the church was moved to Cedar Grove in 1893. A road was cut to the cemetery at that time, now called Eno Cemetery Road. The area is now developed and the cemetery is readily accessible. This outstanding effort by these young women is appreciated by all interested in the genealogy and history of Orange County. ************************************************************************* I do not have a list of burials in the Eno Presbyterian Church, but have seen in the past, a record in the Orange County, NC Courthouse. ==== NCORANGE Mailing List ==== Larry Noah - lrnoah@bigfoot.com - Listowner - NCORANGE mailing list Orange Co, NC USGenWeb site is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncorange

Hi Carol, Thanks very much for posting this description of the Battle of Lindley's Mill. My 3rd great grandfather, William Green, born February 6, 1762 in Prince Edward County, Virginia was part of the Militia that attacked Col. Fanning at Lindley's Mill. He mentiones all the people named in the article you posted in his pension application. I had found the basic description of the battle, but this article is much more detailed than what I have. I do have one or two small points to add to the story. According to my ancestor, the Militia was told to go directly from their homes to Lindley's Mill, instead of mustering at a central point before marching to the Mill. These orders from General Butler were what enabled the Militia to arrive before the Tories. Another point is that the Tories captured about 200 citizens from Hillsboro, including the Governor. My William Green tells about going with Col. Robert Meliane (Mebane) of the Regular Troops to Livingston Bridge about 15 miles from Wilmington. I'm sure you have learned that Col. Mebane followed Fanning and the Tories for some time in an effort to free their friends and neighbors, not to mention Governor Burke, but the British sent out troops to help Fanning, and the Militia had to withdraw, apparently at Liningston Bridge. I don't know about you, but I get an enormious feeling of pride when I read what our ancestors did in their own words, so I will quote what my William Green had to say about the Battle of Lindley's Mill in 1832 in his pension application. "Next morning we all marched to the battleground at Lindley's Mill and helped to bury the dead. Depondent counted 31 dead on the ground, besides several other that were at Lindley's Mill and at the widow Laughlin's. Colonel Literal died at the Coller House. We then pursued Fannin and met a party of British on a bridge called Liviston on a creek who were sent out to cover Fannin's rear. We engaged this party of about 300 in number and after an engagement of about one quarter of hour we were compelled to retreat. We were commanded at this place by General Butler who overtook us before we reached Livinston Bridge. I then left Captain Grishom and joined Capt. William Douglass and marched back to Orange. The latter Captain commanded a horse company. We kept headquarters at William Stroud's. We started one night to Deep River and joined Major O'Neal and net Fannin at Cox's on Deep River where he kept his headquarters and engaged with him. We killed 9 men and took 9 prisoners, among whom was one of Fannin's chief Captains Meredith Edwards. We had none killed but had 2 wounded, Lt. Robert Christmas, and ____? Deny. We took our prisoners from there and sent them to Hillsborough jail. We then stopped at Strouds and scowered the neighborhood for about 2 days. Major Griffiths of Halifaxx County joined us with 75 or 80 men in scowering the country. After Major Griffith joined us we took a Tory by the name of John Waterman and Major Griffith hung him on the road that leads from Wilksborough to Fayetteville. Capt. Douglass and his men returned from there to Stroud's. Major Griffith and his men went down the Haw River and hung a Tory Captain by the name of Frank Irvine. And at that time my tour of three month was out, but I still remained with Captain Douglass about 10 or 12 days londer, and then we received the news of the capture of Cornwallis. We were then discharged." My ancestor had first joined the Hillsboro Militia in 1779 and was captured at Charleston, South Carolina, but being part of the Militia he was released. He was again called out for the Battle of Lindley's Mill. He married Kezziah Patton in Hillsboro in her parents home January 9, 1781, and their first child, Thomas S. Green was born there October 24, 1781. The faimily moved to Burke County, NC, named for the Governor he tried to free, in about 1783 where most of his other childrens were born. In about 1815 he again moved west to Haywood County, NC where he died March 2, 1827. On October 5, 1832, my William Green applied for a pension, and it was from that pension application I quoted the above description of the Battle of Lindley's Mill. I hope you enjoyed reading this direct quoted story as much as I enjoyed reading your posting of the details of the battle. I am posting your story to the GREEN list in hopes someone can help me identify the parents of my William Green. Various members of my family has been looking for over 30 years! Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for posting this article.

Its owner, "Old Kirk," was an english hatter, fequentl suspected of aiding the Patriots. On the night of September 13, 1781, a small band of Patriots stopped at KIRK's place en route westward, and asked permission to spend the night. They could, said KIRK, and so they established their camp and placed a sentry at the end of the lane leading to the farm. The night passed quietly and uneventfully. Early next morning, however, the Patriots were aroused by the sound of a shot. Quickly they mounted and rode toward the road and the place where they had left the sentry. Hardly had they discovered the dead body of the sentry when a group of Loyalist rushed from the thicket bordering the road and fired upon them. The battle was soon ended, but several of the Patriots were killed or wounded. LINDLEY's Mill On the same morning a band of six hundred Loyalist soldiers entered the sleeping village of Hillsboro at day light. Thomas BURKE or Orange County had recently been elected Governor by a Whig Assembly, and he was the first man to be taken prisoner by the British. Several other military and civil officals were aroused from their beds and also place under arrest. Colonel David FANNING (no relation to Colonel Edmund FANNING who was involved with the regulators) and Hector MCNEILL then led the men on a wild raid of plundering, takiing everything of value in the town. Colonel Alexander MELBANE of Hawfields watched this action from concealment. It was impossible for him to reach his horse, and so he set out on foot for his home to warn the people. Like the famous Paul REVERE, Colonel MEBANE spread the word, 'The British are coming!" Hawfields was Whig territory, and General John A BUTLER, who lived in this section, quickly raised three hundred of his Patriot militia to greet the British. Next morning the Tories crossed Cane Creek and headed through a hollow which would lead them across Hawfields to Tory country. On the brow of the hill, above the hollow, General BUTLER and his men awaited. As rifle fire broke out ahead of them, the rear-guard of the Loyalists, who were escorting the Governor, halted. Colonel MCNEILL commanded the front ranks to retreat; the whigs held a better position, and advance would mean certain death. One of his men, a scotchman named MCDOUGAL, accused him of cowardice, however, and MCNEILL reversed the order and advanced. He was instantly shot down. Seeing MCNEILL fall, some of the men called out that he was dead. MCDOUGAL cried out that the colonel was only wounded and urged the men forward. Meanwhile the other Loyalist commander, Colonel FANNING, crossed the creek some distance below the battle scene and attacked the Patriots from the read of the hill. This attack took the Patriots by surprise, and General BUTLER ordered a retreat. Major Robert MEBANE, the second in command, immediately countermanded the order, and facing a portion of his men to the rear, he attacked FANNING with such force that the latter was forced to withdraw at once. As the ammunition grew shorter, MEBANE passed along the line, carrying powder in his hat. Finally the battle came to a draw. The Tories, convinced that they could not get through the Whig lines, headed southeast for Wilmington, leaving their dead on the battlefield. Near the end of the battle a Tory marksman shot Major John NALLS of the Patriots, and mistaking three Whigs on horseback some distance away, the Tory rode toward them shouting that he had killed Major NALLS. A Patriot bullet suddenly ended his boast. Another of the Patriot officers, Colonel LUTTERAL, was wounded by the Tories, but he managed to stay in his saddle until his horse reached a farm house a half-mile from the battle scene. As he lay dying in a upstairs room of this home, the brave officer dipped his finger in his own blood and wrote his name across the wall. For many years this grim mark remained there. The battle of LINDLEY's Mill closed the war in North Carolina, and a month later at Yorktown Lord CORNWALLIS surrendered the tatterd remains of a once-proud British Army. >> ==== NCORANGE Mailing List ==== Larry Noah - lrnoah@bigfoot.com - Listowner - NCORANGE mailing list Orange Co, NC USGenWeb site is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncorange

I have both Tories and others who sided with those who wanted American Independence. I also have both Union and Confederate ancestors. ALL FROM NORTH CAROLINA. So you are right, there were southerners who wereonthe Union side in the Civil War. And many of the Tories including at least some who fought at Widow Moore's Bridge later took the oath and at this distance in time there are actually descendants who belong to the DAR and SAR based on their having taken the oath. One historian states that only about one fourth of American colonists actively supported the revolutionaries, while another fourth actively were loyalists, while a full half were indifferent to the whole thing. But from this distance it is obvious that independence was right thing for those thirteen colonies. Likewise, with due respect for my Confederate ancestors, it was a good thing the Union won the Civil War. Had that not been the case we might have long been divided and would never have become the powerful nation that we are today. But the bottom line is that no human being should ever be the property of another human being. -----Original Message----- From: Elizabeth Whitaker <elwhitaker@SHTC.NET> To: NCORANGE-L@rootsweb.com <NCORANGE-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, November 16, 1997 3:05 PM Subject: Re: Tories >At 06:02 PM 11/13/97 -0600, Larry Noah wrote: >[snip] >> There were loyalists in the county.
