Jan, there are a whole bunch of index entries for the Davis surname, and since I have no way of knowing which of these might relate to my Davis family of Rowan County, I'd be grateful if you would be able to copy those entries. Many thanks. Lois Willand (researching Davis & Morrow in Rowan Co.

Thank you so very much! > Johnson,222, Third Creek Church sent out a number of useful ministers, among whom were Abner and Josiah Kilpatrick, sons of Rev. Joseph P. Kilpatrick; William H. Johnson, B. S. Krider, William A. Wood, and R. Z. Johnston. Among the ministers born in Back Creek, were Silas Andrews, J. Scott Barr, John A. Barr, and R. W. Shive of Mississippi. The Presbyterian Churches of Rowan have been served by more than fifty different ministers, and have sent out probably not more than twenty-five or thirty into the work, and not more than a half-dozen of these who have served her churches have been natives of Rowan County. 336, FORTY-SIXTH REGIMENT COMPANY B Private Johnson, William; en. April 13, 1863; a. 28; d. of d. 1863. 340, FORTY-NINTH REGIMENT COMPANY C Private Johnson, William; en. March 19, 1862; a. 21. Johnston, 80, Although the English Parliament repealed the “Stamp Act,” they did not abandon their claim to tax the colonies, but directly asserted it. And so in 1767 another Act, not less an invasion of colonial liberty, was adopted. This was the famous “Bill” imposing a tax on glass, paper, painters’ colors, and tea , imported into the colonies. This Act being resisted was followed by other Acts of unfriendly legislation, such as the suspension of the Legislative Assembly of New York, and closing the port of Boston. In consequence of this, the “General Court” of Massachusetts sent a circular to the other colonies, asking their co-operation in devising some method of obtaining a redress of grievances. This circular was laid before the General Assembly of North Carolina, in November, 1768, by Col. John Harvey, the Speaker of the House, but no decisive steps appear to have been taken. In fact, the Governor kept his watchful eye upon the Assembly and stood ready to prorogue its sessions at the first indication of the spirit of union and independence. Thus it happened that North Carolina was not represented in the first Provincial Congress of the Colonies, nor indeed until the General Congress assembled in Philadelphia, in September, 1774. The way the “Provincial Congress” of North Carolina came into existence at the last was as follows: In 1773, the House of Burgesses of Virginia resolved upon establishing committees of correspondence between the several colonies, and sent forth circulars to the various Provincial Legislatures. The Virginia “Circular,” as well as letters from some of the other Provinces, was laid before the North Carolina Assembly by Speaker Harvey in this same year, and the Assembly seized the opportunity to appoint a committee to watch the proceedings of the English Parliament and to=2 0concert with the other Provinces measures for the general defense. The committee appointed consisted of Speaker Harvey, Richard Caswell, Samuel Johnston, Hewes, Vail, Harnett, Hooper, John Ashe, and Howe. When the Virginia House of Burgesses proposed the holding of another General Congress, after the closing of the port of Boston, Governor Martin intimated that he would repeat Governor Tryons old trick of proroguing the North Carolina Assembly, and thus prevent the Province from being represented in that Congress. 81, In pursuance of the “proclamation” of Harvey, the Assembly of 1774 was supplemented by another body called a “Congress.” Both bodies were composed, generally, of the same members, and Colonel Harvey was chosen “Speaker” of the Assembly, as usual, and “Moderator” of the Congress. The Congress met in Newbern on the twenty-fifth of August, 1774, and was composed of brave and judicious men, quite a number of whom are distinguished in the annals of the State. On the list we find the names of Samuel Spencer of Anson, Robert Howe of Brunswick, Samuel Johnston of Chowan, Richard Caswell of Dobbs, Thomas Person of Granville, Willie Jones of Halifax, John Ashe and William Hooper of New Hanover, John Harvey of Perquimans, and Abner Nash of Newborn. Rowan County was represented in this Congress by William Kennon, Moses Winslow, and Samuel Young. Johnstone,81-82 On the third day of their session, August 27, 1774, the Congress adopted twenty-five resolutions, that embody the principles of independence and resistance to tyranny. These resolutions prudently affirmed a loyal regard for the British constitution, and devotion to the House of Hanover, but at the same time declared that allegiance should secure protection; that no person should be taxed without his own consent, either personal or by representation; that the tax on 82 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY tea was illegal and oppressive; that the closing of the port of Boston, and sending persons to England to be tried for acts committed in the colonies, were unconstitutional; and that it was the duty of our people to cease all trade with the mother country, or any Province that refused to co-operate in measures for the general welfare. They also approved the movement for a General Congress in Philadelphia, in September following, and appointed William Hooper, Joseph Hewes, and Richard Caswell to represent this Province in said General Congress. After authorizing Moderator Harvey, or in case of his death Samuel Johnstone, to call the Congress together, if occasion should require it, the body adjourned. In the Spring of the year 1775, the Provincial Congress met again in Newbern, and Rowan sent as deputies Griffith Rutherford, William Sharpe, and William Kennon. At subsequent meetings of this Congress, at Hillsboro and Halifax, Rowan was represented by Matthew Locke, James Smith, and John Brevard.

The importance of the Trading Ford NC historic site was most recently recognized in Report to Congress on the Historic Preservation of Revolutionary War and War of 1812 Sites in the United States in June 2008.

During the "Race to the Dan River Campaign" in 1781, Greene drew Cornwallis into a trap that would be sprung at Yorktown with Cornwallis' surrender. In Feb 1781, Greene and his men eluded almost certain capture and annihilation by Cornwallis by crossing the Yadkin at the Trading Ford in the night while Cornwallis slept. After the crossing, the river rose , preventing the British from crossing . If not for Greene's Crossing, there would have been no Battle of Guilford Courthouse and probably no surrender at Yorktown.

Now I am curious as to out of all of it who are the African Americans? I am doing research especially for my family. Their names are Crowel, House, and Heilig. Many of them came from the Gold Hill area. The Heiligs I am related to many of them live in or around Heiligtown. The Crowels or Crowells are a part of the House family. There are not many of that family because many of the HOuse were females and they married. Andrew Crowel and his wife Rachael were born in the 1830s; they had children: Eva Crowel born 1863, Martha born in 1866, William Andrew born in 1870, John Crowel born in 1872, and Love Hawes Crowel born in 1874. Martha married John House in 1886 and they had six children. After John died, Martha married a Stokes Ingram in 1913. He later died in 1931 and she in 1942. So I am just putting that out to you as a part of the heritage. Joseph Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
