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
