-----Original Message----- From: B L Wiggins <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, 30 Nov 2008 1:12 pm Subject: [NCROWAN] Index C-D -- Campbell? Thanks, Jan, for all your hard work. I know you are getting bombarded with requests. If you have time, I would like to know about the Campbells in the book. I am helping my adopted daughter research her birth family. We have documented back to Michael C. Campbell who was born about 1769 in Rowan Co, NC. Michael and son John were in the 1840 Lafayette County, MO, census. They do not seem to be in Missouri for the 1830 census, so they may have emigrated during that time. Thanks again, Betty (aka Kelly's Mom) CAMPBELL 167 Another branch of the Brandon family settled on the north side of Fourth Creek. Here James Brandon, in 1760 and 1762, ob tamed grants from Granville and deed from Patrick Campbell for one thousand five hundred and ninety-two acres of land. 187-188 >From the above figures we gather that Maxwell Chambers was the son of Joseph and Mary Chambers, and was born on the twenty-third of January, 1780. Tradition states that he was born in the house now the residence of Thomas J. Meroney, on Main Street. His early education was probably secured in Salisbury, and he 188 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY entered into business here with his uncle, a Mr. Campbell, from which we infer that his mother’s maiden name was Campbell. After conducting busines s here for awhile, Mr. Campbell and Mr. Chambers went to Charleston and set up in mercantile business there. 240 The first Methodist church in Salisbury was organized in November, 1831, with thirteen members, four of whom are still living (1880), viz.: Miss Adelaide Clary (now Mrs. Rowzee), of Salisbury; John C. Palmer, now of Raleigh; and James Glover and wife, now of Davidson County. One name of the others is lost. The rest were Mrs. John C. Palmer, Mrs. Mary Hardy, Miss Margaret Shaver, Mrs. Slater, Mrs. Samuel Fraley, Alexander Biles, Mrs. Eunice Cowan, and Miss Sarah Bailey. This church was in the Virginia Conference. Charles P. Moorman was the first preacher in charge. The first Quarterly Conference was appointed to he held in the courthouse, in November, 1832, but the Presbyterian brethren kindly offered the use of their church, which was gratefully accepted, and so the first Methodist Conference ever convened in Salisbury was held in the Presbyterian church, presided over by that singular man, “the stern, the inflexible, the devoted, the self-poised, the brave, the witty, the fearless Methodist preacher, Moses Brock,” who was at that time presiding elder of the district. At that Quarterly Conference, money was raised, and a comfortable wooden church was completed early in the following year (1833). With the exception of one year, the church was a part of the Salisbury circuit, until 1845. In 1834 it was made a station, and served by Rev. R. O. Burton. It then went back to the circuit. D uring this time (between 1833 and 1845), it had for pastors Revs. Messrs. T. McDonald, Tinnen, Yarrell, and others. Rev. Thomas S.

WISEMAN Page 119 >From Cowan=’s Ford=, the British pressed on and soon met Colonel Webster’s division, which had crossed at Beatties’s Ford, at Torrence’s Tavern; which Lord Cornwallis in his general orders styles “Crossroads to Salisbury,” and Tarleton in his map designates as “Tarrant’s.”This place is about two miles above Davidson College, and within a quarter-mile from where “Center Depot,” on the Atlantic Tennessee, and Ohio Railroad, now stands. They burned the house of Mr. Torrence, of John Brevard, General Davidson’s father-in-law, and set fire to Moses Winslow’s house; but the fire was extinguished by order of Lord Cornwallis. At Torrence’s Tavern, Colonel Tarleton with his light horse found about three hundred American militia, with a motley company of refugees in their wagons, from South Carolina and elsewhere, fleeing for safety. Tarleton made an onslaught upon these, killed a few of the militia, less than ten, and scattered the refugees. He sustained a loss of seven men and twenty horses in this action. This was about two o’clock in the afternoon. From Cornwallis’ order book we learn that the British army encamped at Torrence’s that night, and began its march in pursuit of Greene at half-past five o’clock on the morning of the second of February. From Tarleton’s map we learn that the route of the army was almost directly eastward for some fifteen or twenty miles, to a point which is called “Grimes,” southeast of Salisbury. This was probably Graham’s plantation, on the west side of Grant’s Creek, near “Wiseman’s Mill.” 169 John Brandon, the son of William Brandon, of Thyatira, married Mary, the daughter of Major John Dunn, of Salisbury. This couple died childless. Their residence was on the west side of Cathey’s Creek, a mile from Thyatira Church. The place was known of late years as the residence of Dr. Samuel Kerr, and still later as the home of our fellow-citizen, James S. McCubbins, Esq. The other son of William Brandon, known as Col. James Brandon, married Esther Horah, sister of Hugh Horah, and aunt of the late William H. Horah. He resided near Thyatira Church in his early married life. After the Revolutionary War he was “entry-taker,” and lost nearly all his property by the depreciation of continental money in his hands. In his latter days he lived in what is now Franklin Township, where William R. Fraley now resides. Col. James Brandon died about 1820, and left a number of children. 1. Among these was a son named William Brandon, who was a merchant in Salisbury, and kept his store about the place now occupied by Enniss’ drug store. He never married, and died young, about the same time that his father died. 2. Priscilla Brandon married William Gibson, and their children were Dr. Edmund R. Gibson, late of Concord, James Brandon Gibson, now an elder of Thyatira, George Gibson, who moved to Tennessee, now dead, and Mrs. Margaret G. Smith, now living with James G. Gibson. 3. Margaret, who never married, died about 1828. 4. Clarissa Harlowe, who married Thomas Kincaid. These were the parents of Mrs. Mary Ann Bruner, Mrs. Jane E. Fraley, and William Mortimer Kincaid, Esq. 5. Sophia Gardner, who never married, and died in 1846. 6. Mary, who married William Hampton of Rowan. Their children were Nancy Reed, the wife of Hon. Philo White; Margaret Gardner, wife of Montfort S. McKenzie, Esq.; Mary Ann, wife of John C. Palmer, of Raleigh; and James, who died young. 7. Elizabeth, who married Francis Gibson. Their children were Clarissa, the ‘wife of Benjamin Julian, of Salisbury; Esther, the wife of Jesse P. Wiseman, Esq.; and Emmeline, the wife of Rufus Morrison. 293 COMPANY K (ROWAN RIFLE GUARDS) ENTERED SERVICE APRIL 19, 1861.

Margaret Gray, Did you know that Jonas Leatherman and Kalin/? Leatherman went to Lincoln Co TN in time to appear on the 1820 census of Lincoln Co TN? Censuses for Lincoln Co TN are on one. The Leatherman's and my direct line, William White left Rowan [portion that became Stokes Co NC] about the same time headed for Lin. Co TN. They appear in land deeds together.

The number of communicants in the county is 224; of which there are at St. Luke’s, 118; at Christ Church, 72; and at St. Andrew’s, 34. The whole number of Episcopal Church people is about seven hundred. The largest confirmation class under Mr. Davis-May 16, 1840-numbered nine, including John B. Lord, Mrs. Ann Lord, Misses Julia Beard, Christian Howard, and others. Some of the names in the other classes are William Chambers, Charles Wheeler, William Locke, William Murphy, Marcus Beard, Samuel R Harrison, Eliza Miller, Jane Wheeler, Ellen Woolworth, Ellen Howard, Rose Howard, M ary S. Henderson, and Augusta M. Locke. Mr. Parker’s largest class numbered 12 March 28, 1858-including John Willis Ellis, Louisa M. Shober, Julia Ann Blackmer, Alice Jones, Sarah H. Mitchel, Ann Macay, and Ellen Sumner. Some of the names in the other classes are Mary Murphy, Julia Long, Helen B. Bryce, Sophie Pearson, Mary McRorie, Laura Henderson, Jane A. Howard, Luke Blackmer, Nathaniel Boyden, James Murphy. Mr. Haughton’s largest class numbered eleven-January 29, 1860-including Archibald Henderson, John M. Coffin, Fanny Miller, H. C. Jones, Jr., Frances C. Fisher. Some of the names in the other classes are Mary Locke, J. M. Jones, Elizabeth Vanderford, Henrietta Hall, Annie McB. Fisher, Alice L. Pearson. Mr. Tillinghast’s largest class-November 21, 1869-numbered eight, including Laura C. Murphy, John R. Ide, Julia Ide. Some of the names in the other classes are Robert Murphy, Jr., Charlotte C. Mock, Anna May Shober, Lewis Hanes, Mary E. Murphy, Leonora Beard, May F. Henderson. Mr. Murdock’s largest class-October 6, 1873-numbered thirty-four, including Francis E. Shober, Jr., William C. Blackmer, William Howard, A. J. Mock, and Fanny Kelly. Some of the names in the other classes are Walter H. Holt, Charles F. Baker, Peter A. Frercks, Belle Boyden, Joseph O. White, Annie Rowzee, Caroline McNeely, Penelope Bailey, Clarence W. Murphy, Annie Cuthrell, George A. Kluttz, and Lillian Warner. Some of the most influential and distinguished names which have adorned the annals of Rowan County have been communicants or 0A273 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY adherents of the Episcopal Church. I have already spoken of the ante-Revolutionary period. Between that period and the year 1823, when Bishop Ravencroft made his first visitation to Salisbury, the following may be confidently claimed as friendly to Episcopacy, to wit: Maxwell Chambers, Matthew Tray, Anthony and John Newnan, Thomas Frohock, Lewis Beard, Spruce Macay, Alfred Macay, Matthew and Francis Locke, Joseph and Jesse A. Pearson, John L. and Archibald Henderson, John Steele, William C. Love, and many others. Since the year 1823, many of the most distinguished citizens of the State have either been communicants of St. Luke’s Church or members of its congregation. John W. Ellis was a member of the General Assembly, a Judge of the Superior Court, and Governor of the State. Richmond M. Pearson became Chief Justice of the State; and Nathaniel Boyden became a member of Congress and an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. James Martin, Jr., Romulus M. Saunders, and David F. Caldwell were Judges of the Superior Courts. Mr. Saunders was also Attorney General of the State, and Minister Plenipotentiary to Spain. John Beard, Jr., Thomas G. Polk, Charles F. Fisher, John A. Lillington, John B. Lord, A. H. Caldwell, Stephen L. Ferrand, John L. Henderson, Richard H. Alexander, William Chambers, H. C. Jones, have been members of the General Assembly, in one House or the other; and many of them have occupied other important public stations. Archibald Henderson was a member of the Council of State under Governors Reid and Ellis. I have not included in the above list any persons now living. A large majority of the persons named were communicants. 338, 339 FORTY-NINTH REGIMENT COMPANY C Officers P. B. Chambers, Capt.; pr. to Major; resigned. Henry A.

MONTFORD STOKES was for a long period a resident of Rowan County. He was born about 1760, and was in the Revolutionary army, and was taken prisoner near Norfolk in 1776, and confined for several months in a prison ship. For a number of years he was Clerk of Rowan Superior Court, and Clerk of the State Senate. He was elected by the General Assembly to the United States Senate, but declined to serve. In 1816 he was again elected Senator of the United States, and served until 1823. In 1831 he was appointed by General Jackson, Indian Agent in Arkansas. He removed to that State, and died there in 1842. The historian of North Carolina, Colonel Moore, says of him, that “Few men were so popular as he, and his wit and humor were unceasing in their flow.” Governor Stokes removed from Salisbury about 1812, and settled in Wilkesboro. He was first married to Mary, the daughter of Col. Henry Irwin, who fell at the battle of Germantown. By her he had one daughter, named Adelaide, who became the wife of Henry Cha mbers, of Rowan. Also a son named Montford S. Stokes, who was a Major of the North Carolina Regiment in the War with Mexico. At the opening of the late War between the States, Montford S. Stokes was Colonel of the First North Carolina State Troops. Colonel Stokes was killed at Ellyson’s Mill, near Richmond, June 26, 1862. 199, CHAPTER XXIV THE WAR OF 1812-14 In tracing the history of Rowan County, it will not be expected that we shall enter into a detail of the great public affairs of the United States. And yet we must glance at them in order to account for events that took place in this county. The Barbary States, on the north coast of Africa, for a while obstructed the commerce of the United States in the Mediterranean Sea, and this led to a war with Tripoli, in 1803, in which Commodore Preble, Lieut. Stephen Decatur, and Commodore Barron took a conspicuous part, and brought the Bashaw to make a treaty of peace, which was concluded in 1805. But this matter was scarcely settled when a greater difficulty arose. England and France were then at war, and the United States became involved in regard to her commerce. By “Orders in Council,” the English government declared all vessels conveying produce from the United States to Europe legal prizes. Again, in 1806, England declared several European ports in a state of blockade. Napoleon, by his “Berlin Decree” and “Milan Decree,” forbade the introduction of English goods into any part of Europe, and conf iscated the cargoes of all such vessels as should submit to be searched by the English. But England was in need of sailors, and as many of them were supposed to be employed on American ships she insisted upon searching the ships of the United States. In vain did America protest The “Queen of the Seas” held our power in contempt, and continued to search all American vessels by force. As the only course left, the Congress of the United States passed the “Embargo Act,” by which all United States trading vessels were prohibited from leaving their ports. This Act operated not only to the disadvantage of England, but was disastrous to the shipping interests of this country. All foreign commerce was destroyed, and the people were left to their own resources. Coffee and tea, silks, broadcloths, ribbons, and all such commodities, became as rare as they were in the late Confederate States. This caused distress and murmuring, especially in New England, where most of the shipping was owned. In the meantime, President Jefferson went out of office, and James Madison was inaugurated in 1809. Soon after Madison’s inauguration the British Minister at Washington gave assurance that England’s “Orders in Council” would he revoked. Upon this Mr. Madison issued a Proclamation-April 19, 1809-that the non199 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY intercourse Act would be suspended after the tenth of the following June. This Proclamation produced great joy throughout the whole country, and the wave of gladness rolled over the land and reached the quiet town of Salisbury. The citizens of Rowan had a general parade in Salisbury, followed by an illumination at night. Capt. John Beard had an immense framework, something like old-time warping bars, erected in front of his house, with candles blazing on every part of the structure. At the foot of it was a table filled with decanters and bottles containing choice liquors, and all his friends were invited to drink to the general joy. Mr. Edward Chambers, son of the elder Maxwell Chambers, made a speech to the ladies, in which he assured them that now the embargo was raised they would have less work to do, inasmuch as they could purchase goods from Europe. But all this joy was premature. The good news had hardly reached the most distant parts of the country before President Madison was assured that the British Minister had exceeded his instructions, and that the “Orders in Council” would not be revoked. And so the President at once issued another Proclamation countermanding the first. And so matters went on, English ships searching American vessels wherever found, with now and then a naval battle. 245, A great many of the old families were undoubtedly members of the Church of England. Nearly all the English people and their descendants naturally belonged to that Church. So did the Welsh. More than half of the Protestants of Ireland have always owed allegiance to the same religious faith. I think it probable that the following-named persons, living i n this county before the Revolution, were Church of England people: John Frohock, William Giles, Matthew Locke, Maxwell Chambers, James Macay, John Dunn, William Temple Coles, Benjamin Boothe Boote, James Carter, Hugh Forster, William Churton, Richard Viggers, William Steele, Thomas Frohock, Matthew Troy, James Kerr, Daniel Little, Alexander Martin, Francis Locke, James Dobbin, Alexander Dobbin, Arichibald Craige, David Craige, James Brandon, John Nesbit, Anthony Newnan, James Smith, and Richmond Pearson. The Howard family were also here then, and were members of the English Church. 260, The new building of Christ Church was consecrated by Bishop Ravenscroft, July 17, 1827, in the presence of a large concourse of people, the customary deed having been executed on the day previous. The Bishop was assisted in the services by the Revs. Thomas Wright, R. S. Miller, and William M. Green. The latter is now the venerable and beloved Bishop of Mississippi. This church was situated about twelve miles west of Salisbury, near the Statesville Road --about one mile below the point where Third Creek station on the Western North Carolina Railroad is now located. In his report of this consecration, to the Fayetteville Convention, 1828, the Bishop speaks of the congregation of Christ Church as a “large body of worshipers, the second in number of communicants in the Diocese.” On the fifteenth day of September, 1827, Moses A. Locke, Charles Fisher, and John Beard, Jr., as executors of Lewis Beard, executed and delivered to John McC lelland, James Martin, Stephen L. Ferrand, Thomas Chambers, Edward Yarboro, and Edward Cress, vestry of the Episcopal congregation of St. Luke’s Church, a deed in fee for Lot No. 11-one hundred and forty-four square poles—in the town of Salisbury-now the east corner of Church and Council Streets. 266-267, In 1838, the communicants at St. Luke’s were eighteen; at Christ Church, seventy-eight. One of the largest families connected with St. Luke’s Church had removed to the West during the previous year. Mr. Davis reported “the condition of the church in Salisbury as not encouraging.” “Christ Church was gradually gaining strength.” The delegates to the convention of 1839 from St. Luke’s, were John B. Lord, William Locke, and Charles K. Wheeler-the two former attended. Mr. Davis reported twenty-one communicants at St. Luke’s, and for Christ Church, ninety-one. Confirmations at the latter twenty-one (July 14 and 15, 1838). “There has been a much larger and more interested attendance upon divine ordinances than heretofore. An increased interest in the church then certainly is accompanied with an increased degree of attention to the Word of God. The people of St. Luke’s, entirely of their own accord, have almost doubled the pastor’s salary, and have in every respect exhibited towards him a kind and affectionate regard.” “The children of Christ Church are well acquainted with the Church catechism.” “At Mills’ Settlement, Iredell20County, communicants, eighteen. The cause of the Church is on the advance in this part of the country.” The twenty-fourth convention of the Diocese met in St. Luke’s Church, Salisbury, Wednesday, May 13, 1840. St. Andrew’s 267 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY Church, Rowan County, was admitted into union with the convention. Vestrymen were Philip Rice, Jacob Correll, Samuel Turner, Joseph Turner, and John Watson. Delegates to convention, Joseph Owens, William Heathman, Samuel Turner, and John Watson. From St. Luke’s, A. Henderson, John B. Lord, Charles A. Beard, William Chambers. From Christ Church, J. E. Dobbin, William Chunn, Thomas Barber, Joseph Alexander. Among the names of many other lay delegates I find the following: Dr. John Beckwith, Raleigh; Thomas S. Ashe, Wadesboro. Convention sermon was preached by Rev. G. W. Freeman, D.D.

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. 186, Judge Caldwell was twice married. He first married Fanny, the daughter of William Lee Alexander, Esq., and niece of Hon. Archibald Henderson. Their children w ere, William Lee, Archibald Henderson, Elizabeth Ruth, who married Col. Charles Fisher; Richard Alexander Caldwell, Esq., Dr. Julius Andrew Caldwell, and Fanny McCoy, married to Peter Hairston, Esq. After the death of his first wife, he married Mrs. Rebecca M. Troy, née Nesbit, the widow of the late Matthew Troy, Esq., and the half-sister of the late Maxwell Chambers, Esq. Her remains are interred beneath the Presbyterian lecture-room, near to Mr. Chambers’ grave. She was an earnest Christian woman, of a meek and quiet spirit. During her widowhood, she and her half-brother, Maxwell Chambers, lived east of town, where Capt. John Beard now lives. Afterwards, they purchased and lived in the residence where Mrs. Dr. Joseph W. Hall now lives. At the same time, Mrs. Troy, the mother of Matthew Troy, and her daughter, Catherine Troy, lived in the house where R. J. Holmes now resides, on Innes Street. 187, THE CHAMBERS AND TROY FAMILIES We have already drifted into some account of one or two members of these families, but a fuller account may be interesting. During the Revolutionary War, Maxwell Chambers, the elder, resided in Salisbury. He lived on the place where Mr. S. H. Wiley’s residence now stands. Lord Cornwallis made his headquarters in this house, in 1781. Maxwell Chambers was the treasurer of the Committee of Safety for Rowan, in 1775-76, and was a true patriot, though he once fell under the censure of the Committee for raising the price of powder, and it was ordered that he be advert ised as an enemy of his country. After the war he lived at Spring Hill, about two miles east of Salisbury, where he raised a large family. He was married to the daughter of George Magoune, who had married Hester Long, the widow of John Long, and mother of Alexander Long, Esq. Maxwell Chambers had nine sons, named William, Maxwell-who was graduated at Chapel Hill in 1809, Henry, Joseph, Samuel, Edward, Thomas, Otho, and John. Henry became a lawyer, and Maxwell a physician; the others were farmers. They all died early in life, some of them unmarried, and it is not known that any of their descendants are now living in this county. The late William Chambers was a son of Edward Chambers, but left no children. John Chambers married Panthea Troy, sister of Matthew Troy, Esq., and of the late Mrs. Maxwell Chambers. 187 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY MAXWELL CHAMBERS the younger, was a distant relative of the family already mentioned, and was the son of Joseph and Mary Chambers, of Salisbury. Beneath the lecture-room of the Presbyterian Church in Salisbury, there are ten graves, nine of them covered with marble slabs, and one marked by a headstone. As there is historical matter inscribed on those slabs, and as the general public never see these inscriptions, I will give the epitaphs in substance. Commencing next to the wall, we find the first monument and the oldest, with this inscription: 1. William Nesbit, died November 22, 1799, aged sixty-four years. 2. Adelaide Fulton, daughter of John and Mary Fulton, died=2 0at two weeks of age. 3. Mary Fulton, died January 5, 1806, aged forty-five years. (a) She was first married to Joseph Chambers, by whom she had one son, Maxwell Chambers. (b) She was next married to William Nesbit, and had two children, David M. and Rebecca M. Nesbit. (c) She was again married, to John Fulton, and had one child, Adelaide Fulton. 4. David M. Nesbit, son of William and Mary Nesbit, died October 19, 1811, aged twenty-five years. 5. Henry M. Troy, son of Matthew and Rebecca M. Troy, died July 8, 1824, aged eleven years, eleven months, and fifteen days. 6. Laura Troy, daughter of Matthew and Rebecca M. Troy, died November 16, 1828, aged eighteen years, one month, one day. 7. Rebecca M. Caldwell, second wife of Hon. D. F. Caldwell, died November 28, 1855, in the sixty-fifth year of her age. 8. Panthea Jane Daviess, daughter of Robert and Anne Daviess, of Mercer County, Ky., died May 20, 1835, aged sixteen years. 9. Catherine B. Chambers, consort of Maxwell Chambers, and daughter of Matthew and Jane Troy, died November 27, 1852, aged sixty-seven years, seven months, and three days. 10.Maxwell Chambers, died February 7, 1855, aged seventy-five years, one month, and fourteen days. >From the above figures we gather that Maxwell Chambers was the son of Joseph and Mary Chambers, and was born on the twenty-third of January, 1780. Tradition states that he was born in the house now the residence of Thomas J. Meroney, on Main Street. His early education was probably secured in Salisbury, and he 188 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY entered into business here with his uncle, a Mr. Campbell, from which we infer that his mother’s maiden name was Campbell. After conducting business here for awhile, Mr. Campbell and Mr. Chambers went to Charleston and set up in mercantile business there. Here Mr. Chambers laid the foundation of his fortune, and after awhile he returned to Salisbury and lived with his widowed half-sister, Mrs. Rebecca M. Troy. After a time he married Miss Catherine B. Troy, the daughter of Matthew Troy the elder, and sister of Matthew Troy the younger. It is said that an attachment had long existed between this couple, but Mr. Chambers had thought himself too poor to marry in his younger days. But when he had amassed a considerable fortune, of perhaps one or two hundred thousand dollars, and she being the owner of about thirty thousand dollars, they considered themselves in proper circumstances to marry, though both were somewhat advanced in life. They settled at the Nesbit place, on Innes Street, now the home of R. J. Holmes, and here they ended their days. Mr. Chambers never entered into regular business again, but became a general trader, and attended to the management of his large estate. He was eminently successful in accumulating property, and at his death had amassed a fortune of nearly a half-million dollars. He made arrangements for the removal and liberation of all his slaves at his death, and these plans were faithfully carried out by his executors, and between thirty and fo rty slaves were sent to the Northwest, and started in life in their new home. Besides legacies to many of his kindred and friends, and to the church of his choice, he left a residuary legacy to Davidson College, which would have amounted to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars if the College had obtained all he intended for it. But owing to the limitations of its Charter, the College could not receive the whole amount, and a considerable sum went to his heirs that were next of kin. The inscription on the marble slab that covers his remains is probably as fair a delineation of character as was ever put upon a monument, and it is here given: “In his business he possessed the clearest foresight and the profoundest judgment. “In all his transactions he was exact and just. “In social life, dignified, but confiding, tender, and kind. “In his plans, wise, prudent, and successful. “In his bestowments his hand was not only liberal but often munificent. 189 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY ”In the close of his life he set his house in order, willed his soul to God, and the greater part of his estate to the cause of education, through the church of his choice.” Mr. Chambers was not promiscuously liberal, but only to the objects he considered worthy, and in his own way. Upon a certain occasion a poor man had his house burned down, and the next day some friend took around a subscription paper for his benefit. The paper was somewhat ostentatiously presented to20Mr. Chambers, but he utterly refused to subscribe. He was of course severely criticized for his illiberality; but while the critics were handing his penuriousness around, Mr. Chambers quietly ordered one of his servants to get ready a cart, and he and his good wife filled it with flour, meal, lard, bacon, bed-clothing, and other things to the value of nearly fifty dollars, perhaps equal in value to the gifts of all the others combined, and the poor man found himself richer than he had been before the fire. Mr. Chambers never mixed business and charity together. He would give and take the last cent due in a trade, and when be chose to give, he gave liberally. His good wife, familiarly known as “Aunt Kitty,” was the soul of kindness. She was an earnest and devout Christian, and full of faith and good works. To her pastor, living on a salary rather small, and with a large family, and many visitors, she made weekly, and sometimes daily donations, amounting in the year to some hundreds of dollars. For some years before her death she was blind, but still patient, submissive, and charitable. Her portrait, with that of her husband, bangs in the parlor of the manse in Salisbury, as perpetual memorials of their benefactions. Rowan County has been the home of a number of other distinguished men, of whom but little mention can be made without swelling these Memoirs beyond the limits assigned.

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 the father 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 Ha ll. 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. 149-152, 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 Main Street, a few doors east of the Public Square, and nearly opposite the entrance 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, and 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. As the reader has incidentally learned the names of a few of the citizens of Salisbury one hundred years ago, it will probably be of some interest, especially to those of antiquarian tastes, to have a list of the principal householders of our city in those early days. Fortunately the mayor of the city, Capt. John A. Ramsay, has succeeded in securing a number of the old records of the “Borough 150 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY of Salisbury,” 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 sustained the loss. Another ordinance forbade the keeping of any hay, 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, Samuel 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 Pl aying”-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. According to the above list there were fifty householders in Salisbury in 1793. It has been usual to estimate an average of five inhabitants to each family. This would make a population of two hundred and fifty. But besides these white families, there were a few families of free negroes as well as the household servants in the various wealthier families. There were also a number of ordinaries, or village inns, in the borough, with their attendants and boarders. From these sources we may suppose there might be counted probably one hundred and fifty or two hundred more, making a total population of four hundred, or four hundred and fifty, in Salisbury at the close of the last century. About the close of the Revolutionary War, in 1782, the records of the Inferior Court show the following licensed ordinary keepers in Salisbury, viz.: David Woodson, Valentine Beard, Archibald Kerr, Gasper Kinder, William Brandon, and Joseph Hughes. In those days the Inferior Courts fixed the tavern rates. The following are the rates of 1782: For a half-pint of rum is. 4d; do. of whiskey 8d; do. of brandy is.;=2 0one quart of beer 8d; for breakfast is.; for dinner is. 6d; for supper is.; for a quart of corn 2d; for hay or blades per day for a horse is.; for lodging per night 6d. A shilling was 121/2 cents. According to these rates, a dinner, supper, breakfast, and lodging, not including any spirits or horse feed, would amount to the sum of fifty cents. And, speaking of money, we notice that the commissioners begin, about 1799, to speak about dollars and fourths of a dollar, instead of pounds, shillings, and pence, indicating the substitution of the Federal currency for the sterling. About this time an ordinance was adopted disallowing sheep to run at large in Salisbury between eight in the evening and sunrise in the morning. The same year an “order” is directed to be published in The Mercury, thus indicating that a paper of that name was published in town. The location and the size of a market-house engaged the attention of the commissioners for several years. At different times it was ordered to be built on three different sides of the courthouse. In 1803 it was ordered to be erected on Corban Street southwest of the courthouse, between the courthouse and the next cross street; to be thirty-two feet wide, and to be set on eight or more brick pillars. In 1805 the commissioners resolved to issue forty-two pounds and ten shillings (£42/10) in bills of credit, and employed Francis Coupee to print the bills. In 1806 they required every dog to be registered, and allowing every family to k eep 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 William C. Love. 9. William H. Brandon, captain; Benjamin Pearson, Michael Swink, Francis Marshall, Joshua Gay, Abraham Earnhart, John Giles. 10.Daniel Cress, cap tain; 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. These were the able-bodied men of Salisbury in 1811-sixty-nine years ago. 153-154 CHAPTER XXI FAMILIES LIVING ON THE YADKIN RIVER ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO Amid the ever-shifting scenes of domestic and social life, it is extremely difficult to get a picture of any one neighborhood. During the period of current life, events are regarded as of so little importance, and they are so numerous and crowded, that nobody takes the time and trouble to make a record of passing events. But when a generation or two has gone by, and children or grandchildren would love to know the history of their ancestors, only fragments remain. Now and then a curious chronicler arises, and by searching into records in family Bibles, old wills and deeds, and by the aid of some survivor of past generations stranded on the shores of time, succeeds in sketching an outline of the old days. But the picture can never be complete, and seldom absolutely accurate. With such aids as these, the author of these pages proposes to give a running sketch of the people who lived in a part of Rowan County at the close of the last century. About six miles northeast of Salisbury, where Grant’s Creek pours its yellow waters into the Yadkin, there was a large farm and spacious dwelling, owned by Alexander Long, Esq. Somewhere about 1756, there appeared in Rowan County a man who is designated in a deed, dated October 7, 1757, as John Long, gentleman. He purchased a tract of land-six hundred and twenty acres-on the ridge between Grant’s Creek and Crane Creek, adjoining the township land. In 1758 he received a title from the Earl of Granville for six hundred and eight acres on the “Draughts of Grant’s Creek.” Also six hundred and forty acres on Crane Creek, adjoining his own. Also six hundred and four acres on Second Creek; besides some town lots in Salisbury-altogether between twenty-five hundred and three thousand acres of land. According to records on minutes of the Inferior Court for 1756, p. 400, John Long had some transactions with William and Joseph Long, of Lancaster County, Pa.-perhaps brothers, or other relatives of his. According to deeds and letters of administration, his wife’s name was Hester. These were the parents of Alexander Long, Esq., of Yadkin. In the year 1760, the Cherokee Indians were on the warpath, and Col. Hugh Waddell was stationed with a regiment of infantry, at the new village of Salisbury, for the protection of the western settlements. Tradition says 154 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY that John Long was killed by the Indians in an expedition against a settlement of them in Turkey Cove, on the North Fork of the Catawba River, not far from Pleasant Gardens. 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. The Court records of April, 1763, p. 461, have this entry: “William Long vs. George Magoune et uxor., administrator of John Long.” Alexander Long, probably the only child of John Long, was born January 16, 1758, and became heir to the vast area of fertile lands entered and purchased by his father. When he became of age he added to this large estate. In 1783 he purchased a tract on both sides of the road from Salisbury to Trading Ford, and in 1784, he entered six hundred and sixty-five acres on the north side of the Yadkin River. He first married a sister of Gov. Montford Stokes, by whom he had one daughter, named Elizabeth, who became the wife of Alexander Frohock, Esq., who was the sheriff of Rowan County. He was married a second time to Miss Elizabeth Chapman, a lady from Virginia, October 12, 1786. Besides his extensive landed estate, Alexander Long was the owner of a hundred or more slaves, and had a valuable ferry over the Yadkin at the mouth of Grant’s Creek, besides valuable fisheries on the river. In those days the Yadkin abounded with shad, and immense quantities were caught in Mr. Long’s fisheries. He had a large family of sons and daughters-John, Alexander, William, Richard, James, Nancy, Maria, Rebecca, Harriet, and Carolina.

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 committee were 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 twen ty-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. This conduct, as early as September, 1774, showed that the idea of resistance was growing up rapidly in the minds of the patriots of Rowan. This committee fixed the price of powder, and examined carefully into the political sentiments of the people. If they were not satisfied with a man’s conduct, they did not hesitate to declare him an enemy to liberty, and to put him under suitable restraint. They also, in after days, took control of Court matters, allowing some to enter suits against others, and forbidding some. No doubt many of their acts were arbitrary in a high degree, and sometimes an infringement of the liberty they proposed to protect. But when the storm of war was about to break upon the country, the committee acted vigorously, awaking zeal, suppressing dis affection, embodying militia companies, providing ammunition, and doing all they could to support the cause of freedom. Nor did they confine themselves to deliberation, but they took the field. General Rutherford, Colonel Locke, Gen. William Davidson, and others, won for themselves honorable names in many a march and skirmish, and many a hard-fought battle. 115, “Resolved, That this Committee present their cordial thanks to the said young ladies for so spirited a performance, look upon their resolutions to be sensible and polite; that they merit the honor, and are worthy the imitation of every young lady in America.” What a pity that we have not a copy of these spirited resolutions, and the names of the fair signers! They were probably similar to those entered into by the Mecklenburg and Rowan ladies four years later, including perhaps a resolution in behalf of simplicity in dress, abstinence from luxuries, and sympathy with the cause of independence, not yet declared at Philadelphia. And then the names! Who were they? Daughters of the Brandons, Lockes, Youngs, Chamberses, Gillespies, Osbornes, Davidsons, Winslows, Simontons, Brevards, Sharpes, no doubt; but the dainty signatures to the “spirited performance” are lost, and the fair signers that signed them have moldered away. For is it not one hundred and four years since all this was done? A further illustration of matronly zeal and self-denial in behalf of the cause of liberty will be recited in its proper place. 134, Upon entering t he 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, leaning 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 Lutheran” 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.

Miss Christine Beard, a granddaughter of John Lewis Beard, and of John Dunn, Esq.-now eighty years of age, with a remarkably retentive memory-has furnished personal recollections of the Town of Salisbury, covering seventy years. She has also treasured up the stories heard in her youth from the lips of her ancestors, running back to the first settlement of the County. Messrs. J. M. Horah and H. N. Woodson, the Clerk and the Register, kindly gave access to the old records in the Courthouse, dating back to 1753. John S. Henderson, Esq., Rev. S. Rothrock, Rev. H. T. Hudson, D. D., Rev. J. J. Renn, Rev. J. B. Boone, Rev. J. Ingle, Rufus Barringer, Esq., Dr. D. B. Wood, M. L. McCorkle, Esq., Mrs. N. Boyden, and others, have either prepared papers in full, or furnished documents and manuscript statements that have been of special service. Mrs. P. B. Chambers furnished the diary of her grandfather, Waightsti ll Avery, Esq. Col. W. L. Saunders, Secretary of State, and Col. J. McLeod Turner, Keeper of the State Capitol, very kindly furnished, free of charge, a copy of the Roll of Honor of the Rowan County soldiers in the Confederate Army. 45, ...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 st ood, 59-60, THE COMMON It was customary for the towns in England to have a “Common” or open tract of public land in their immediate vicinity, where the cattle might graze at will, where the children might play, and the gatherings of the citizens be held on extraordinary occasions. In accordance with this custom, the Act of the Assembly specifies a “Common” in connection with the town of Salisbury. Its precise locality has been difficult to determine, but the Act appears to describe it as lying “on each side of the Western Great Road leading through the frontiers of this Province.” If this “Western Great Road” was Beattie’s Ford Road of modern days, crossing Grant’s Creek at the bridge near the head of McCay’s pond, the said road ran through the westward of town, leaving Corbin Street with “Temple” or Fisher Street, running diagonally through the square occupied by the late Dr. Jos. W. Hall, and back of the residence of the late Judge Caldwell-now the residence of M. L. Holmes. The “Common” on each side of this road would include the square now occupied by the grounds of the Presbyterian manse, and the spring that was anciently on it, as well as the spring at the head of the stream starting behind Paul Heilig’s residence, and running through the grounds of the “National Cemetery.” Persons still living remember when these grounds were unoccupied and covered with small 60 HISTORY OF ROWAN20COUNTY oaks and chinquapin bushes. 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. 60-61, Continued from above: The Act provides that all inhabitants of Salisbury shall have free access to all natural springs and fountains, whether on private lots or on the Common, and that it was lawful for anyone to “cut and fell,” and app ropriate to his own use, any tree or trees standing on the Town Common.” That was before the exquisite poem, beginning “Woodman, Spare That Tree,” was composed, and the early inhabitants were more anxious to enjoy their liberties, and to have an open grazing place for their cattle, than to have a shady park for public resort. It is worthy of notice that a strict “hog law” prevailed in the sylvan shades of the ancient borough of Salisbury. Cows were indeed a privileged class, and might roam at will over the streets and Common, but it was enacted that “no inhabitants of said town shall, on any pretense whatsoever, keep any hog or hogs, shoat or pigs, running at large within the corporate limits of said town, under a penalty of twenty shillings,” while anyone had the right to “shoot, kill, or destroy” the offending pig at sight. As a protection against fire, every householder was required to keep a ladder, and two good leather buckets. Fast riding and fast driving incurred a penalty of five shillings for each offense. It further appears that the pio61 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY neer settlers were provided with a market-house for the mutual benefit of the buyer and seller. Taking them all in all, the municipal regulations of 1770 were good and wholesome, and in some particulars might still stand as models. The gentlemen who were authorized, as Town Commissioners, to put these regulations into execution were prominent citizens, selected for their standing and their fitness for the 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 c redence. That Committee of Safety actually resolved that good old Maxwell Chambers, their Treasurer, be publicly advertised 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.

They traveled with their household goods and the women and children in wagons, the men and boys walking and driving their cattle and hogs before them. They came side by side with their Scotch-Irish neighbors, sometimes settling in the same community with them, and at other times occupying alternate belts or sections of country. Thus we can trace a German stream through Guilford, Davidson, Rowan, and Cabarrus Counties, and just by its side a stream of Scotch-Irish. But as years passed away these streams, like the currents of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, have mingled into one, resulting in a mixed race of German-Scotch-Irish, perpetuating the virtues and perhaps also the weaknesses of all the races.
