151-152, In 1806 they required every dog to be registered, and allowing every family to keep one 152 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY dog free of tax laid a tax of one dollar on each surplus dog. Provided a dog should become mischievous, the magistrate of police was to issue a warrant against him, and the constable was to kill him. None of these laws, however, were to apply to dog* “commonly called foists or lap dogs.” In 1811 the following citizens were divided into classes for the purpose of patrolling the town: 1. Samuel S. Savage, captain; Peter Brown, John Murphy, Ezra Allemong, James Huie, John Trisebre, Jacob Smothers, and William Hinly. 2. George Miller, captain; John Utzman, John Wood, John Smith, John Bruner, Christian Tarr, and Horace B. Satterwhite. 3. Moses A. Locke, captain; John Fans, Henry Under, Abner Caldwell, William Moore, George Rufty, and Henry Poole. 4. Jacob Under, captain; Joseph Chambers, Peter Bettz, Edwin J. Osborne, Hugh Horah, Archibald Ruffin, and Samuel Lemly. 5. John Smith (hatter), captain; Lewis Utzman, George Utzman, Robert Blackwell, Epps Holland, Benjamin Tores, and Peter Crider. 6. Henry Sleighter, captain; Jacob Utzman, Daniel Jacobs, Abraham Brown, Andrew Kerr, Epps Robinson, William Horah. 7. Robert Torrence, captain; Alexander Graham, Micahel Brown, Horace B. Prewit, George Goodman, James Wilson, Robert Wood. 8. William Hampton, captain; John Albright, Willie Yarboro, Jacob Stirewalt, John L. Henderson, John Fulton, and Wil liam C. Love. 9. William H. Brandon, captain; Benjamin Pearson, Michael Swink, Francis Marshall, Joshua Gay, Abraham Earnhart, John Giles. 10.Daniel Cress, captain; Abraham Jacobs, Peter Coddle, George Bettz, William Dickson, David Nesbit, Stephen L. Ferrand. 11.Thomas L. Cowan, captain; Joseph Weant, James Gillespie, William Pinkston, Francis Coupee, William Rowe, and William Davenport. 12.Francis Todd, captain; Thomas Reeves, Jeremiah Brown, Henry Ollendorf, Henry Allemong, George Vogler, and Charles Biles. 154, The records of the Inferior Court of 1760, p. 293, have this entry: Upon motion of Mr. Dunn, ordered that Hester Long, relict of John Long deceased, have administration of the estate of her late husband, John Long [and that] Martin Pipher, John Howard, and Thomas Parker be bound in six hundred pounds (L600). She took the oath of admiaistratrix.” Tradition states that Hester Long afterwards married George Magoune, by whom she was the mother of a daughter who became the wife of Maxwell Chambers. 168, The other daughter of Matthew Brandon, named Elvira, became the wife of the Rev. James Davidson Hall, then pastor of Thyatira Church, and left no children. Not far from Thyatira Church, many years ago, there lived two brothers named John Brandon and James Brandon. They were the sons of William Brandon, who settled there as early as 1752. Win. Brandon’s first wife was a Cathey, the mother of John and James. After her death he married a Widow Troy , of Salisbury, and moved to Kentucky. From William Brandon and his second wife there descended in the second generation a family of Davises. Two ladies of this name, granddaughters of William Brandon, lived for a while in Salisbury with Miss Catherine Troy, afterwards Mrs. Maxwell Chambers. One of these young ladies married George Gibson, and moved to Tennessee. The other died in Salisbury, after a short residence here.

128-129, Upon entering the town Lord Cornwallis took up his headquarters at the house of Maxwell Chambers, a prominent and wealthy Whig, a merchant of Salisbury, a former member of the Rowan Committee of Safety, and its treasurer. After the war, Maxwell Chambers moved to Spring Hill, about three miles east of Salisbury. His eldest son was named Edward Chambers, who was the next owner of “Spring Hill.” The lath William Chambers, whose monument stands near the wall in the Lutheran graveyard, was the son and heir of Edward Chambers. During the Revolution, Maxwell Chambers lived on the west corner of Church and Bank Streets—the corner now occupied by the stately and substantial mansion of S. H. Wiley, Esq. The house of Mr. Chambers used by the British Commander remained standing until about ten years ago, and its old-fashioned and quaint appearance is familiar to everyone whose recollection can run back ten or twelve years. It is surprising that none was found to show Mr. Lossing, in 1749, this relic of the Revolution. During these two days of occupation the British buried some soldiers on the spot known as the “English-Graveyard,” and from this circumstance it is said to have derived its name. But it was a burying-place before that time. Near the center of it, lean129 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY ing against a tree, there is an ancient headstone of some dark material, that says that Capt. Daniel Little, who died in 1775, lies buried there. It is more probable that it was called the “English’? in distinction from the “Luthera n” or “German” graveyard, on the eastern side of town. Colonel Tarleton stopped at John Louis Beard’s, in the eastern part of town, the north corner of Main and Franklin Streets. Mr. Beard, being a well-known Whig, was absent in the army at the time, and so the entertaining devolved upon Mrs. Beard. But Colonel Tarleton, it seems, was perfectly able to take care of himself, and made himself quite at home. When he wanted milk he ordered old Dick-the negro servant-to fetch the cows and milk them. Mrs. Beard had a cross child at the time, whose crying was a great annoyance to the dashing colonel. Upon one occasion his anger overleaped the bounds of gentlemanly courtesy, and he ordered the child to be choked to stop its crying. Mrs. Beard was very much afraid of him, and we may well suppose that she did all she could to please him. 134, Michael Brown was married several times, and the following is a list of his children so far as known. In the absence of complete records we depend to a large extent upon the memory of one who knew personally most of the individuals named. It is not positively certain that the sons of Michael Braun are mentioned in the order of seniority. They were named John, Peter, Moses, James, and Jeremiah. 1. John, the eldest, for some reason or other, was called “Continental John,” probably because he served in the Continental army during the Revolution. He was the20father of the late Mrs. Jacob Myers of Salisbury. 2. Peter married Miss Susanna Bruner, a daughter of Mr. George Brurter, who lived at the place which is the present residence of Dr. Albert Powe, now known as the “Powe Place,” formerly called the “Bruner Place.” This couple were blessed with a number of children. Their daughter Elizabeth married Thos. L. Cowan of Salisbury, and was the mother of the late Mrs. Charlotte Jenkins and Mrs. Mary Hall. Mary, another daughter, married Barny Bowers. Susan married a Mr. Thompson, of Randolph. Margaret married Joseph Chambers, of Iredell County, and was the mother of Major P. B. Chambers, now of Statesville. Sally married Dr. Satterwhite. 148-149, As General Washington approached Salisbury, on the Concord Road, some half-mile from town, and at a point near where Mr. Samuel Harrison now lives, he was met by a company of boys of Salisbury. Each of these boys had a bucktail in his hat-a symbol of independence, and their appearance was quite neat and attractive. The President expressed himself much pleased by the boys’ turnout, saying that it was “the nicest thing he had seen.” The illustrious visitor was of course the guest of the town, and lodging was provided for him at Capt. Edward Yarboro’s residence. 149 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY This house is still standing, on East Ma in Street, a few doors east of the Public Square, and nearly opposite the entran ce of Meroney’s Hall. The house is now marked by a set of semi-circular stone steps. Many have supposed that Washington stood on those steps and addressed the people. It is almost a pity that this is not the truth, but the fact is that those stone steps were placed there since 1830, by Sam Jones, who kept a hotel there. But the President did occupy that house for a night, and he did stand on steps where those semi-lunar steps now stand. And as he stood there the people from all the country around stood packed and crowded in the street, gazing with reverence and admiration at the soldier and patriot who was “first in the hearts of his countrymen.” And as the people gazed the President stood bareheaded, while the afternoon sun illumined his hoary locks. And this was what he said: “My friends, you see before you nothing but an old, gray-headed man.” Lifting his hand, with his handkerchief he shielded his head from the rays of the sun, in silence. That night there was a grand ball given to the President at Hughes’ Hotel, attended by the prominent gentlemen and ladies of Salisbury and vicinity-Maxwell Chambers and his wife, Spruce Macay, Esq., Adlai Osborne, Esq., Capt. John Beard, Edward Chambers, Joseph Chambers, Lewis Beard, Hugh Horah, Edward Yarboro, Miss Mary Faust, Mrs. Kelly (née Frohock), Mrs. Lewis Beard, Mrs. Giles, Mrs. Torrence,20and many others whose names are no longer preserved in a vanishing tradition. There is still in the county a relic of this ball-a brown satin dress, worn by Mrs. Lewis Beard-the daughter of John Dunn, Esq. It is in the possession of Mrs. Mary Locke, granddaughter of Col. Moses A. Locke, and great-granddaughter of the lady who wore it. How far the “Father of His Country” participated in the amusements and festivities of the occasion, tradition saith not. It was probably a mere occasion for a reception on his part, and we may well imagine that the “old, gray-headed man,” as he claimed to be, husbanded his strength by retiring early, and thus securing the rest needful to fit him for his next day’s journey to Salem. Captain Beard and his Company of “Rowan Light Horse” escorted the Presidential party as far as Salem. 150-151 the earliest dating back as far as 1787. On the twelfth of March of that year, Messrs. Maxwell Chambers, Michael Troy, John Steele, and John Blake were duly qualified as town commissioners, and Matthew Troy as Justice of police. James McEwen was elected clerk, and Thomas Anderson, constable. The records are quite fragmentary, those of several years being lost. In 1793, the commissioners adopted several ordinances. One ordinance forbade the citizens to allow their hogs or goats to run at large in the streets, and any person was allowed to kill any hog or goat so found, and the owner sustained20the loss. Another ordinance forbade the keeping of any h ay, oats, straw, or fodder in dwelling-houses. Another ordinance required each house-holder to keep on hand, for use at fires, a number of leather water buckets, holding not less than two gallons each. And in this connection we have the first list of householders of Salisbury, graded according to the number of buckets they were supposed to be justly required to furnish. As the Chinese mandarin is graded by the number of buttons, and the Turkish pasha by the number of “tails” he wore on his cap, so the Salisbury citizen was graded by the buckets he was required to keep on hand. Richmond Pearson was expected to keep four, and Dr. Anthony Newnan three. The following were rated at two each, viz.: Richard Trotter, Joseph Hughes, Conrad Brem, Tobias Forrie, Michael Troy, Andrew Betz, John Patton, Lewis Beard, Henry Giles, Edward Yarboro, David Cowan, Albert Torrence, Charles Hunt, William Alexander, Maxwell Chambers, M. Stokes, John Steele, William Nesbit, Peter Fults, and Michael Brown. The following householders were let off with one bucket each, viz.: Henry Barrett. Robert Gay, Matthew Doniven, Richard Dickson, Daniel Cress, George Lowman, John Mull, Hugh Horah, George Houver, Charles Wood, Fed. Allemong, David Miller, Mr. Stork, George Moore, John Beard, Mrs. Beard (widow), Leonard Crosser, Martin Basinger, Peter Faust, John Blake, Henry Young, John Whith, George Kinder, Jacob Utzman, Barna Cryder, William Hampton,=2 0Samuel Dayton, and Charles Shrote. It seems that at a subsequent meeting of the commissioners, Mr. Pearson at his own request was reduced to the grade of two buckets, and Dr. Newnan, Peter Fults, and Evan Alexander to the grade of one bucket. These commissioners enacted stringent laws against “Bullet Playing”-whatever that was -horse racing, and retailing liquors on the streets. The taxes for 1793 were four shillings (5Oc.) on every, hundred pounds ($250.00) value of town property, and four shillings (50c.) on every white poll that did not hold one hundred pounds (£lOO) value of town 151 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY property. It was certainly not much of a privilege to be a poor man in Salisbury, in those days.

Cash, 302 FIFTH REGIMENT INFANTRY COMPANY K Private Cash, A. G.; en. August 8, 1862. Chambers,45-46 At the June term of 1753, the Court proceeded to select a place for the erection of a courthouse, pillory, stocks, and gaol. The action of the Court is substantially as follows: “The courthouse, gaol, and stocks shall be located where the ‘Irish Settlement’ forks, one fork leading to John Brandon’s, Esq., and the other fork along the old wagon road over Grant’s Creek, called Sill’s Path, and near the most convenient spring.” John Brandon, as stated before, lived six miles south of Salisbury, on the Concord Road, and “Sill’s Path” was probably the Beattie’s Ford Road, crossing Sill’s Creek about seventeen miles west of Salisbury. The most “convenient spring” is thought to be a spring in the garden of the late Dr. Alexander Long, where Jacob Franck’s ordinary and still-house were afterwards established, the lot afterwards owned by Matthew Troy, the father-in-law of the late Maxwell Chambers. The exact site of the courthouse was the center of our present Public Square, at the intersection of Corbin and Innes Streets, where the great town well now is. Tradition says that this spot-originally considerably higher than it now is-was a famous “deer-stand,” where the rifleman stood, 46 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNT Y and with unerring aim brought down the fleet-footed doe or an tlered stag, as he fled before the music-making pack of hounds. 60 In a plan of the town made about sixty years ago, now lying before the writer, these lots are marked as belonging to Troy, Chambers, Caldwell, Thomas Dixon, H. C. Jones, Dr. Polk, John Beard, Louis Beard, Lauman, Brown, Woodson, etc. These lots, originally constituting the Common, had probably been recently sold, perhaps as a financial enterprise to relieve the town of some unfortunate debt, or to carry out some promising scheme of internal improvement that was destined never to see light. It is a matter of profound astonishment that town corporations will part with grounds that would make desirable parks or breathing places, for a mere trifle, and condemn the citizens to live in a long, unbroken line of houses, unrelieved by shade, when they might so easily retain a Common or Park, where the inhabitants might resort at will in summer weather, and refresh themselves by breathing the pure air that comes whispering through the rustling leaves of the trees. It is really more difficult, in some of our larger towns, to escape from the dust and glare of the streets and painted houses into a pleasant and shady retreat, than it is in the great cities where the land is worth hundreds of dollars per square yard. 61, The gentlemen who were authorized, as Town Commissioners, to put these regulations into exec ution were prominent citizens, selected for their standing and their fitness for t he high trust, and were generally the owners of a large real estate in the town. The list is as follows: William Steel, John Dunn, Maxwell Chambers, John Louis Beard; Thomas Frohock, Wm. Temple Coles, Matthew Troy, Peter Rep, James Kerr, Alexander Martin, and Daniel Little. These Commissioners were appointed by the General Assembly, and in ease of a vacancy, the place was to be supplied by appointment of the Justices of the Rowan Inferior Court. Holding their offices for a term of years, or during life, these Commissioners would be able to mature and carry out extended schemes of improvement, without having before their eyes the constant fear of being left out the next year if they should chance to offend any of the people by the conscientious and faithful discharge of unpopular duties. This was the conservatism of monarchy, and doubtless it had its evils as well as the fickleness and instability of popular democracy. Perhaps the best results would be secured by a policy lying between these two extremes. 103-104, The events at the opening of the war are to he accounted for, first on the principle that old men, especially lawyers, are slow and cautious in exchanging their allegiance. None knows so well as they what are the results that follow in the wake of revolution. They are in the habit of looking at results and consequences. A second cause is found in the characteristic violence and intolerance of such times of excitement and struggle. Reports fly rapidly and gain ready credence. That Committee of Safety actually resolved that good old Maxwell Chambers, their Treasurer, be publicly advertised 104 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY as an enemy to the common cause of liberty, for raising the price of his goods above that of the year past. Furthermore Dunn and Boote were men of great influence, and the easiest way to dispose of them was to send them away without a hearing. No doubt, if granted a hearing, they would have cleared themselves of all acts or purposes of hostility to American liberty. But this the Committee did not know. Colonel Kennon, being the leader in this affair, seems to have removed from Salisbury to Georgia, at or about the time that Dunn and Boote returned. So far as known to the writer he lived an honored and useful life in the State of his adoption. One of his descendants was in Salisbury a few years ago, but he knew little of his ancestor. 106, This Committee of Safety began its sessions, according to these Minutes, on the eighth of August, 1774, seventeen days before the assembling of the first North Carolina Provincial Congress. This committee was probably chosen at the time appointed for electing. members to the General Assembly of the Province, or it may have come into existence before that time in obedience to the wishes of the people. The members of the committee20were chosen from all parts of this grand old county, and numbered twenty-five. The following is a list of their names: James M, McCay, Andrew Neal, George Cathey, Alexander Bobbins, Francis McCorkle, Matthew Icke, Maxwell Chambers, Henry Harmon, Abraham Denton, William Davidson, Samuel Young, John Brevard, William Kennon, George Henry Barringer, Robert Bell, John Bickerstaff, John Cowden, John Lewis Beard, John Nesbit, Charles McDowell, Robert Blackburn, Christopher Beekman, William Sharpe, John Johnson, and Morgan Bryan. 109, Having affirmed their political creed, the Committee adjourned until the twenty-second of September, 1774. At the next meeting, William Kennon appears as chairman and Adlai Osborne as clerk. Their first business was to read and approve the resolves of the Provincial Congress that had met in the interval, and take steps towards carrying them out. Maxwell Chambers was appointed treasurer of the committee, and an order issued that each militia company in the county pay twenty pounds (£2O), proclamation money, into his hands. As there were nine companies of militia in the county, this would aggregate the sum of one hundred and eighty pounds (£180), or between four and five hundred dollars. This money was to be used by the committee at discretion, for the purchase of powder, flints, and other military munitions.

McCaule, 118 Plunging into the stream, nearly five hundred yards wide, and waist deep, the British soon reached the Mecklenburg shore, where they were received by General Davidson and his three hundred militia with a galling fire. The guide having deserted the British at the first shot of the sentinel, they missed the ford, and came out a considerable distance above the place where General Davidson was stationed. Davidson at once led his men to that part of the bank which faced the British. But by the time of his arrival, the light infantry had reached the shore, and quickly forming, they soon dispersed the handful of patriots. General Davidson was the last to leave the ground, and as he was mounting his horse to make his escape, he received a mortal wound. Dr. Caruthers states that General Davidson was killed by a shot fired by Frederick Hager, a German Tory, who piloted the British across the river, but this statement does not agree with the generally accredited story, that the pilot deserted at the sentinel’s first fire. He was killed in Dr. Samuel E. McCorkle’s great coat, which he had borrowed the day before. The Rev. Thomas H. McCaule, another Presbyterian minister, with Col. William Polk accompanied General Davidson to the river that morning. McCullo chs, 34 But the Scotch-Irish were probably the most numerous and the leading people of the settlement. The old records of the Court here show the names of many of these old families, some of them now extinct, such as the Nesbits, Allisons, Brandons, Luckeys, Lockes, McCullochs, Grahams. Cowans, McKenzies, Barrs, Andrews, Osbornes, Sharpes, Boones, McLauchlins, Halls, with many others whose names are as familiar as household words. McCulloh, 161, HON. SPRUCE MACAY As early in the year 1762 we have accounts of the Macay family in Rowan County. In that year James Macay obtained from Henry 161 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY McCulloh a grant of four hundred and thirty acres of land on Swearing Creek, near the Jersey Meeting-house. This was part of a vast body of land, amounting to one hundred thousand acres, which George II, in 1745, granted to Henry McCulloh, Esq., of Turnham Green, County of Middlesex, England. These lands are described as situated in the Province of North Carolina, lying on the “Yadkin or Pee Dee River or branches thereof,” and called Tract No. 9. This tract lay in Earl Granville’s division of land, but the Earl and his agents recognized McCulloh’s title, and the fact is recited at large in many old grants. On this tract James Macay settled and reared his family. 166 CHAPTER XXIII OLD FAMILIES OF ROWAN While the territory now comprehended in Rowan County was a part of Anson County, or further back still, while it was a part of Bladen County, there were settlers in this region. It was in 1745 that Henry McCulloh obtained his grant of one hundred thousand acres of land on the Yadkin and its tributaries. This was probably about the beginning of the settlement. The deeds and grants between this date and 1753, if recorded, would be registered in these counties. Hence it is not always possible to determine the date of the settlement of a family by the date of its oldest deed, since the oldest deeds may have been registered elsewhere.

Author: JanRobison Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.rowan/12357.1.1.4.3/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Nussmann, 224 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY CHAPTER XXVIII LUTHERANISM IN ROWAN The Lutheran Church in Rowan County is composed chiefly, but not exclusively, of the descendants of those German settlers who began to occupy the county about 1745. Fortunately for the history of this people, the Rev. Dr. Bernheim, in his book, entitled "History of the German Settlers and of the Lutheran Church in the Carolinas," has gathered up and preserved the traditions and documents that tell the story of their settlement and religious life. The author of these pages had intended that this chapter should be written by a minister or layman of the Lutheran Church, but succeeded only in securing a very brief but most interesting Sketch of Organ Church, by the Rev. Samuel Rothrock. For the general account he is indebted to Dr. Bernheim's interesting volume, which has been freely used in composing this chapter. St. John's Lutheran Church in Salisbury is entitled to the distinction of being the oldest Lutheran congregation organized in the Province of North Carolina. In the year 1768, John Lewis Beard, a wealthy citizen of Salisbury, and a member of the Lutheran Church, was bereaved by the death of a daughter, and her body was interred in a lot of ground owned by her father. To prevent her remains from being disturbed by the march of civilization, Mr. Beard executed a deed for the lot, containing one hundred and forty-four square poles, to a body of trustees of the Evangelical Lutheran congregation, of the township of Salisbury, allowing ministers of the High Church of England to occupy it when not used by the Lutherans. Upon this lot, now known as the Lutheran graveyard, or Salisbury Cemetery, the congregation soon after erected a log church, or block-house. All this was in preparation for some minister whom they expected in time to obtain. Five years later, in 1773, the Rev. Adolph Nussmann, a ripe and thorough scholar, and devoted and self-sacrificing Christian, was induced to come from Germany to Rowan County. After laboring in Salisbury and Organ Church for a short time, Mr. Nussmann removed from Salisbury and took charge of Buffalo Creek Church St. John's-in Mecklenburg, now Cabarrus. At the same time that Mr. Nussmann came from Germany, Mr. Gottfried Ahrend came over as schoolmaster. As ministers were much needed, and Mr. Ahrend was qualified, he was ordained to the work of the ministry 225 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY in 1775. As he preached at Organ Church-then called Zion's Church-from 1775 to 1785, it is probable that part of his time was devoted to the Salisbury Church. In 1785, Mr. Ahrend removed from Rowan to Lincoln County. For twelve years these two Lutheran ministers, with the Rev. Mr. Beuthahn, a German Reformed minister, labored among the German population of Rowan, Cabarrus, Lincoln, Catawba, Iredell, Davidson, Guilford, and other counties. At this time the Rev. Mr. Harris, and after him the Rev. Samuel E. McCorkle, was preaching to the Presbyterians at Thyatira, Rev. James Hall in Iredell, and Rev. David Caldwell in Guilford. These seven were breaking the bread of life to the thousands of people in this vast region. Soon after the arrival of Messrs. Nussmann and Ahrend, the Revolutionary War opened, and for nearly eight years all correspondence with the Fatherland was cut off, and the congregations and ministers of Rowan were left to their own resources. No ministers, no books, no material aid or sympathy came to cheer them. Besides this, Mr. Nussmann was persecuted by the Tories, and forced to seek safety by hiding himself in a secure retreat, not far from his residence on Dutch Buffalo. At the close of the war, Mr. Nussmann reopened correspondence with friends in Germany, and in 1787 the Lutheran Church in North Carolina was put into connection with the parent church. A supply of books was obtained from Helmstadt, in the Duchy of Brunswick, and a call for several ministers to labor in North Carolina was preferred by Pastor Nussmann to Dr. Velthusen. In 1787, the Rev. Christian Eberhard Bernhardt, a native of Stuttgard, was sent to Rowan. His first charge was on Abbott's Creek, Davidson County, where he labored for a year. He afterwards labored for several years in Stokes, Forsyth, and Guilford Counties, and in 1800 removed to South Carolina. The year 1788 was signalized by the arrival in Rowan of one who may be called the apostle of the Lutheran Church in Rowan. This was the Rev. Carl August Gottlieb Storch. He was sent out by the Helmstadt Missionary Society, and was a native of Helmstadt, and educated at the University of that city. Upon his arrival he took charge of the Salisbury, Pine, and Organ Churches. The Pine Church Called Union-he soon resigned, and next year an to preach in the "Irish Settlement," once a month, for which he was promised thirteen or fourteen pounds, about thirty-five dollars. His salary for the two churches of Salisbury and Organ was eighty pounds (£80), paper money, equal to two hundred dollars. The lees for funerals and marriage ceremonies averaged one dollar each, 226 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY and may have amounted to fifty dollars annually, the whole amounting to nearly three hundred dollars. With the simple habits of those early days, and the cheapness of the necessaries of life, this salary of three hundred dollars was more liberal than the average minister's salary of these days. Besides having charge of these churches, Mr. Storch had charge of a small German school in Salisbury, and gave instructions in Hebrew to some pupils in the Salisbury Academy. Whether he realized any income from the schools is not known. Not long after this he married Miss Christine Beard, daughter of John Lewis Beard, and lived in the house on the corner of Main and Franklin Streets. After this he removed to what is now known as the Chilson place, one and a half miles east of Salisbury. A few years afterward he gave up the Salisbury Church, and moved ten miles south of Salisbury, on the New Concord Road, convenient to his three churches, Organ, Savitz's, and Dutch Buffalo. Here he spent the remainder of his life. On the twenty-seventh of March, 1831, Dr. Storch died, aged nearly sixty-seven years. His dust reposes in the graveyard of the Organ Church, where a suitable stone marks the spot and commemorates his life and labors. He was a ripe scholar, familiar with the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin languages, and it is said that he could converse fluently in five or six different tongues. Abundant in labor, crowned with honors, and rich in the affection of his people, he departed full of faith and hope in the Redeemer. His long service of more than forty years, including the critical period of his people's transition from the use of the German to the use of the English language, did much to preserve Lutheranism from decay and extinction in Rowan County. It is because of his labors, doubtless, that the Lutherans are, at the present day, equal in numbers to all other denominations together in this county. But to return. A few months after Mr. Storch's arrival, in 1788, Rev. Arnold Roschen, a native of Bremen, was sent to North Carolina by the Helmstadt Mission Society, and upon his arrival began his labors on Abbott's Creek, now in Davidson County. We may mention in passing that, in 1791, the present massive stone church was erected for the Organ congregation, and an organ of excellent quality was built by Mr. Steigerwalt, one of the members of the church. As this organ was the first and only instrument of the kind in the county it gave the name to the church, which it retains to this day. In 1794, the Lutheran pastors, Nussmann, Ahrend, Roschen, Bernhardt, and Storch, ordained to the work of the ministry Robert Johnson Miller, obliging him to obey the "Rules, ordinances, and 227 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY customs of the Christian Society called the Protestant Episcopal Church in America." This was a singular proceeding, but the request was made by Mr. Miller, and a congregation in Lincoln County which desired his services, and it is said was counseled by the Presbyterians. Mr. Miller afterwards sought and obtained Episcopal ordination at the hands of Bishop Ravenscroft. The number of Lutheran ministers in North Carolina was reduced by the death of Mr. Nussmann in 1794, the removal of Mr. Bernhardt to South Carolina in 1800, and the return of Roschen to Germany the same year. Dr. Storch was however reinforced by the Rev. Adam N. Marcand, who became pastor of St. John's Church, Cabarrus, in 179'T. He however remained but two years. In 1801, the Rev. Philip Henkel, from Virginia, took charge of the Guilford pastorate. Thus far the church seems to have depended upon foreign supplies for the pulpit. But a change was taking place that looked toward a home supply. On the second day of May, 1803, the Rev. Messrs. Gottfried Ahrend, Robert J. Miller, C. A. G. Storch, and Paul Henkel, with a number of elders and deacons, met in Salisbury, and formed the North Carolina Synod of the Lutheran Church. From this time the work went on more systematically. From the annual report of the Rev. Paul Henkel, in 1806, we learn the state of the church in North Carolina at that date. In Orange and Guilford Counties there were three Lutheran churches and one "joint" church-that is Lutheran and German Reformed-served by Philip Henkel. In Rowan, east of the Yadkin, there were three "joint," and one Lutheran churches, served by Rev. Paul Henkel, afterwards by Ludwig Markert. In the vicinity of Salisbury three strong Lutheran churches enjoyed the ministry of the Rev. C. A. G. Storch for nearly twenty years. This report represents that about twenty years previous to that time there had been a tolerably strong German congregation in Salisbury, but as the German people and their language were changed into the English, the German worship soon became extinct. The three strong churches mentioned in the report, were doubtless the Pine Church-now Union, the Organ Church, and Savitz's now Lutheran Chapel once called the Irish Settlement. The report goes on to state that near Buffalo Creek, Cabarrus, there is one of the strongest Lutheran churches, served by the Rev. Mr. Storch. About eighteen miles west of Salisbury-I suppose near the present Troutman's depot there was another Lutheran church. Also in Lincoln County there were eight or nine German congregations, mostly "joint," served 228 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY by the Rev. Mr. Ahrend. There were churches also in Wilkes, Stokes, and other counties. In 1805 the Synod ordained Philip Henkel to the full work of the ministry, and licensed John Michael Rueckert and Ludwig Markert. At a meeting of the Synod, October 22, 1810, held at Organ Church, there were present ten ministers and a number of lay delegates. This Synod ordained Gottlieb Schober as a Lutheran minister. Mr. Schober continued to be a member of the Moravian Church to the end of his days, while at the same time he was a Lutheran minister and pastor of several Lutheran churches. These excusable irregularities, such as the ordination of Miller and Schober, give evidence of a fraternal feeling between the different churches of that day, and became necessary because of the great scarcity of laborers in the whitening harvests on all sides. At this same Synod of 1810, Jacob Scherer and Godfrey Drehr were licensed, and the limited license of Cathechists Rueckert and Jacob Greison were renewed. Twenty-three churches were reported, of which three were in Rowan. In 1811, the North Carolina Synod, endued with the true spirit of missions, sent out several exploring missionaries to learn the condition of the Lutheran congregations in South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Ohio. The Rev. Messrs. Miller, Franklow, and Scherer were the missionaries, and they traveled and preached the gospel in distant regions. In 1813, David Henkel, J. J. Schmucker, and Daniel Moser were licensed to preach the gospel. In the year 1814, it is estimated that there were twenty-one ministers in the Synod of North Carolina, including those laboring in South Carolina; and eighty-five in the whole United States. The remainder of the history of the Lutheran Church, so far as these sketches propose to give it, will be found in a brief and interesting account of the Organ Church, prepared by its present pastor, the Rev. Samuel Rothrock, to which will be added a sketch of St. John's Church, Salisbury, since its reorganization, and a general statement as to the ministers, churches, and number of communicants as they now exist. ORGAN EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH The first organization of a congregation at this place dates back more than a century. The original members were Germans, few in number, but devotedly attached to the church of their choice. The services, and records in the church-book, were all in the German language. From the German church-book which is well preserved, we gather the principal items in relation to the history of this con 229 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY gregation. The following is a translation from the records of the church-book, and in the translation the German orthography of names is preserved, and the present English orthography thrown in parentheses. TRANSLATION In the year A.D. 1774, the following members of our congregation commenced to build the so-called Organ Church, viz.: Georg Ludwig Siffert (George Lewis Sifford), Wendel Miller, Peter Edelmann (Eddleman), Johannes Steigerwalt (John Stirewait), Philip Gruss (Philip Cruse), Peter Steigerwalt (Stirewalt), Michael Guthmann (Goodman), Christoph Bless (Christopher Pleas), Leonhard Siffert (Sifford), Jacob Klein (Cline), Anton J. Kuhn (Anthony J. Koon), Georg Heinrich Berger (George Henry Barger), Christoph Guthmann (Christopher Goodman) Johannes Rintelmann (John Rendleman), Johannes Eckel (John Eagle), Bastian Lenz (Bostian Lentz), Jacob Benz (Bentz), George Eckel (George Eagle), Franz Oberkirsch (Francis Overcash), Johannes Jose (John Josey), Heinrich Wenzel (Henry). A majority of the aforementioned members united in the year 1772, and resolved to solicit for themselves a preacher and schoolteacher from the Hanoverian Consistory in Germany. For in their time, North Carolina, together with all the other now free American States, were under the King of England, who was likewise Elector of Hanover. Christoph Rintelmann (Christopher Rendleman) and Christoph Layrle (Christopher Lyerly), were sent to London as deputies from the congregation, from which place they journeyed to Hanover, and through Gotten, the counselor of the Consistory, obtained a preacher and school-teacher, viz.: as preacher, Adolph Nussmann; and for school-teacher, Gottfried Ahrend. Both arrived safely in America in the year 1773. At this time there was but one common church for Reformed and Lutherans equally, the so-called Hickeri (Hickory) Church. One year the new pastor preached in this church, but some disharmony arose, and a majority of the Lutherans resolved to build for themselves an own church, and thus organized Organ Church. But before this church was built, Nussman left the congregation and devoted himself to Buffalo Creek. Whereupon, the congregation, which before had one church and one schoolteacher, but now no preacher, procured the aforementioned Gottfried Ahrend to be ordained to the office of preacher in the year 1775. He served the congregation until 1785, when he devoted himself to Catawba River, residing in Lincoln County until the close of his life. For two years Nussmann served the congregation again, but 230 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY he left the church for the second time. From 1787 to 1788, the congregation had no preacher. Gottfried Ahrend came once in a while. In 1788, at the desire and petition of Nussmann, a preacher, viz.: Charles Augustus Gottlieb Storch, was sent from Germany, who, according to Nussmann's assignment, was to go to Stinking Quarter, in Orange County. Various circumstances transpired that he did not wish to go to Stinking Quarter, but resolved to take charge of the congregation at Organ Church and the one in the town of Salisbury. He entered his services in the former on the twenty-sixth day of October, 1787, i.e., the twenty-third Sunday after Trinity; and in the town the second Sunday of November, i.e., the twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity in the same year. The congregation at Organ Church promised their preacher a yearly salary of forty pounds (£4O), North Carolina currency. The number of those who subscribed to the salary, as well as to the new church regulations, amounted to seventy-eight persons. The new church regulations referred to above, very concise and wholesome in their nature, were introduced and adopted on the first day of January, 1789, are upon record in the church-book, but are not here translated. The following ministers have been the successive pastors of Organ Church: Rev. Adolphus Nussmann from 1773, to 1774, one year; Godfrey Ahrend, 1775 to 1785, ten years; Adolphus Nussmann, 1785 to 1787, two years. The church was now vacant for one year, and was visited occasionally by Rev. Gottfried Ahrend. Rev. Charles A. G. Storch, from 1788 to 1823, thirty-five years; Daniel Scherer, 1823 to 1829, six years; Jacob Kaempfer, 1829 to 1832, three years; Henry Graber, 1832 to 1843, eleven years; Samuel Rothrock, 1844 to 1866, twenty-two years; W. H. Cone, from January 1, 1866, to May, 1866, four months; William Artz, May 1, 1866,___; Samuel Rothrock, from July 1, 1868, to January 1, 1869, six months; Revs. S. Scherer and W. H. Cone, from January 1, 1869, to January 1, 1870, one year; W. H. Cone, January 1, 1870, to May 1, 1873, three years and four months; W. R. Ketchie, from June, 1873, to January, 1874, seven months; P. A. Strobel, from January 1, 1874, to October 1, 1875, one year and eight months; Samuel Rothrock, from January 1, 1876, and still pastor, December, 1880.
