Those are my ancestors - his wife Mary Williams at the time of his death was his second wife. The first wife and mother of Joshua & Jane is unknown.

Even Jemima Merrell/Merrill received help, but not a pardon from the government. She got to keep the land which otherwise would have been forfeited. I got a copy of the proclamation from the North Carolina Archives. Lolene

John Wilcox is probably John Wilcoxson Jr. An unsourced quote from John Wilcoxson Sr. went, "I am old. I have lived here more than twenty years, raised all my children, have a large and good plantation with several houses, and I do not want to lose it and do not want to move. If I aid the colonies and the war is won by them I will be in good shape. If the crown wins, I have enough sons and sons-in-law that were loyal to the king to protect me. Heads I win and tails I win."

Thanks for posting this information. I found a name on the Skippack list whose supposed descendant, Isaac, (no proof) came to Rowan. Thomas Wiseman, spelled exactly, is listed there as arriving in 1706. It is the best information I have found Other searchers have said he came on a variety of ships for which no records were found. A great site! Lolene

Susie, It appears we have something in common. Both our ancestors were hung together that day. My was Capt. Ben MERRILL. I was born in Winston-Salem, at one time I worked for Piedmont Airlines, but now I'm retired living in FL. I'm also researching the SMITH family in connection with my MERRILLS.

I thought I copied this from the Sons of Dewitt Colony website in 2002, but now I can't be sure -- just in case, their website is www.tamu.edu/ccbn/dewitt/mckstmerreg1.htm. Otherwise, I'd guess that the Colonial Records of North Carolina have these letters, for the complete cite. I think the John Wilcox is Boone-related, but whether Sr or Jr I cannot say. What happened to Abraham Creason and John Wilcox? They were declared outlaws but were not listed among the pardoned, and were not executed.

Here it is, in case some missed it from earlier in the week: In 1768, Governor Tryon, reacting to the outcome of a trial of Regulators that he felt was a mockery of justice, issued a proclomation of general pardon to all the Regulators of that Spring except 12, whom he considered as the Principal Leaders.

My great great great grandfather was a Captain Messer who was a Regulator. He was hung by Gov. Tryon. The men were all from NC who wrote a list of regulations to give to the Gov. because his hinchman Edmund Fanning was creating and collecting his own taxes and collections etc without giving the farmers time to pay (and other grievances). Google the Regulators and the Battle of Alamance (1771) for an interesting insight into how the farmers of the east coast of NC almost started the Revolutionary War. My Grandfather's f amily refused to sign alliegence to England and left Alamance County and hid out in Haywood County. The son of Captain Messer served in the Revolutionary War.

Twelve regulators had been captured in May of 1771 at Almanace, and all were given an opportuntiy to be set free by signing an oath of allegience to the King of England and renouncing their actions associated with the Regulator movement. Six of these men signed and were set free. The men in the #88 thru #93 spot on this list refused, and were hanged for treason without benefit of trial. #88 - Benjamin Merrill (Merrell), of the Jersey Settlement near Salisbury, Rowan County #89 - James Pugh, lived in Orange or Guilford County Much has been written on these two men. #90 - Messer This is Captain Robert Messer. Messer was scheduled to be hanged a few days prior to the June 19th date, but his hanging was delayed a few days after the intercession of his son Christian Messer. Messer has descendants living in North Carolina today, some near Haywood, NC. #91 - Matter This is Robert Matear. Reportedly, this Robert Matear (Mateer, Mater) had not participated with the North Carolina Regulators in any of the acts for which they were being punished. Supposedly, he hadn't even joined the Regulator movement at all, but rather, was caught up in the whole affair in 1771, as he had been asked to carry a letter from Governor Tryon back to Alexander Martin in Salisbury from New Bern. Matear had been in New Bern because he had transported a load of fruit to market there and since he was returning to Rowan County, he was asked to carry a letter regarding the Regulator "troubles" to Martin. Matear opened the letter and instead of delivering it to Martin, delivered it to a friend in Rowan County who was sympathetic to the Regulators. Word of this action got it, sealing Matear's fate when . . . On May 16, 1791, while Tryon and a militia force that had been mustered upon Tryon's command to go after the Regulators were in Orange County, Matear was detained there along with Robert Thompson. Matear was hanged with the rest, as no trial was ever held for him to plead his case that wasn't even an active member of the Regulators. #92 - Unknown Regulator #93 - Unknown Regulator Does anyone know of any solid work that has been done to attempt to determine the identity of the Six Regulators who signed the oath and were set free or who the identity of the other two who were hanged are? I have a complete list of the 12 men who Tryon had earlier ( in 1768 ), excluded from the list of the Regulators that he pardoned after arrests had been made in that year if anyone is interested in it. - Steve HEW4010@aol.com wrote: _http://users.bestweb.net/~rg/execution/NO%20CAROLINA.htm_ (http://users.bestweb.net/~rg/execution/NO%20CAROLINA.htm) This kind of relates to Betty Pace's post **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

I found this at the NC State Archives in Raleigh and wonder if anyone knows anymore about it. THE COLONIAL RECORDS OF NORTH CAROLINA, by William L. Saunders, Secretary of State, 1899, Vol. VIII, 1769-1771: In a letter to the Council at New Bern, NC, entered on 31 Dec 1770, a group of men pledged their loyalty to King George III, and expressed alarm at what the "Regulators" did at Hillsborough. The name John Hagan appears with the list of signatures. It is not known where these men were from in NC, but the name Adlai Osburn also appears. Pat Hagan Frunzi Fallsington, PA
