LUCY HENDERSON HORTON Franklin, Tennessee October Nineteen Hundred Twenty-two TO OUR EARLIEST AMERICAN ANCESTORS FOREWORD Hearing the call of posterity demanding of us a right to know something of their origin, and convinced, too, that in duty to those who have gone before, we should bind togetheri the golden links of the past, I have gathered what I could of family history. This means much labor; but if this backward glance should inspire one person to noble endeavor, I am amply repaid. An effort has been made to give authority for every assertion. If error is found, I trust someone with broader and clearer vision than mine will rectify the wrong. I have a great many old family papers, business papers and letters, which came to me through my grandfather, Captain John Hughes (1776-1860). Captain John Hughes administered on the estate of his lather, Colonel Archelaus Hughes of the Revolution. Some of these papers date back to colonial times. They throw light on many things. Then history often corroborates what was written many years ago by members of the family. 1 began to gather data for this work in 1897, when making research to establish my eligibility to mem­ bt-rship in National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution. When becoming a member of Colonial Dames of America, in 1904, I went deeper into the study. We regret exceedingly that the genealogy is incomplete. We wish to acknowledge our indebtedness, for aid given, to Mrs. Ryland Tod­ hunter, of Lexington, Missouri; to Mrs. Susan Letitia Rice Clotworthy, of Hillman, Georgia; to Miss Mary Louise Dalton, for paper written by her grandfather, Dr. Robert Hunter Dalton, who was born in Rocking• ham County, North Carolina, and died in Tacoma, Washington; to Miss Josephine Robertson, Statesville, North Carolina; and to the Honorable John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee, etc. In lifting the veil from the past we see that our Hughes branch is of Welsh origin; the Martin branch of Irish descent; the Henderson immi­ grant ancestors came from Scotland; all of these are descendants of the ancient Britons (see page 15, Abbotsford by Washington Irving). The Daltons came from Yorkshire, England; while in the veins of the writer flows the blood of one ancestor of Dutch descent. It may seem to some that I have1 made a vainglory effort to trace our origin back to European nobility, but "I do not think that lords are small things anywhere. Lords are made by kings for great deeds or great virtues." "Then they are lords of their own making. Kings only seal the patent nature has bestowed." "In looking back through records of noble houses we shall find a sum of deeds and qualities suited to and honored by succeeding ages, which, tried by the standard of the times of men, show that hereditary nobility is not merely· an honor won by a worthy father for unworthy children, but a bond to great endeavors, signed by a noble ancestor on behalf of all his descendants." LUCY HENDERSON HORTON. HUGHES Coat of Arms Argent (silver), an eagle displayant, with two heads sable (black). Crest, an eagle's head erased sable (black) holding in the beak a staff raguly gules (red) enflamed proper. Motto: "Fynno Duw Deifydd." This old Welsh motto signifies in English: "Let what God wills, be." Orlando, Leander and William Hughes came from Wales to Vir­ ginia about 1700. The public records of Powhatan and Goochland counties, Virginia, which we quote later on, bear us out in this asser­ tion. Mrs. Harriett D. Pitman, who did much research work among the archives of Great Britain, has written a book entitled "Americans of Gentle Birth and Their Ancestors." On page 81, Vol. 11, of this work she says that the Hughes family of Virginia descend from Roderic the Great. Bulwer, in "Harold", the last of the Saxon kings, carries us somewhat into a knowledge of the ancient Britons, ,;,ho, after the Saxon invasion, settled largely in Wales. Many valuable footnotes given from English chronicles are found in "Harold." Roderic the Great, perhaps the most famous of the ancient Britains of w~om we have knowledge, governed all \Vales. Possibly twenty sub-kings knelt 'l.t his throne (see pages 352, 355.) Roderic the Great "came of a race of heroes, whose line transcended by ages all the other royal• ties of the North." (Bulwer). The Welsh are among the proudest people on earth. Even the humblest Welshman loves to trace his lineage. It has become a proverb, "His genealogy is as long as that of a Welshman." Mrs. Pitman says, "About 1700 there appeared in Virginia three brothers, Orlando, Leander and William Hughes, from Wales. Orlando and Leander had land grants in Powhatan and Goochland counties, near Richmond. She speaks of Colonel Archelaus Hughes of the Revolution "who married Mary Dalton of the old Virginia

    Governors’ Papers Alfred M. Scales Page One GOVERNOR ALFRED M. SCALES, n.d., 1885-1889 Arrangement: By record series, then chronological Reprocessed by: James Mark Valsame Date: July 12, 2004 Alfred Moore Scales (November 26, 1827-February 9, 1892), lawyer, legislator, congressman, soldier, governor, and banker, was born in Reidsville, Rockingham County. His parents were Robert H. Scales and Jane W. Bethel Scales. His grandfather Nathaniel Scales was a longtime representative to the North Carolina House of Commons from Rockingham County. Scales attended the Caldwell Institute, a preparatory school for boys in Greensboro. In 1845 he entered the University of North Carolina, where he studied law but never completed work for a degree. The university awarded him an honorary LL.D in 1889. After leaving school Scales read law under Judge William H. Battle, and was admitted to the bar in 1852. In the same year he was solicitor for Rockingham County. After serving in the House of Commons in 1852 and 1856-57, Scales, a Democrat, was elected to the Thirty-fifth Congress (March 4, 1857- March 3, 1859). Following this term in office, Scales represented North Carolina as a presidential elector on the Democratic ticket of John C. Breckinridge and Joseph Lane. With the secession of North Carolina from the Union on May 20, 1861, Scales volunteered for Confederate military service. Enlisting as a private in Company H (the Rockingham Guards), Thirteenth Regiment of the North Carolina State Troops on April 30, 1861, he was elected captain of the company on the same date. On October 12, 1861 he was promoted to colonel of the Thirteenth Regiment, succeeding fellow North Carolinian William Dorsey Pender of Edgecombe County.

  • Did You Know? North Carolina
    Did You Know? North Carolina Discover the history, geography, and government of North Carolina. The Land and Its People The state is divided into three distinct topographical regions: the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont Plateau, and the Appalachian Mountains. The Coastal Plain affords opportunities for farming, fishing, recreation, and manufacturing. The leading crops of this area are bright-leaf tobacco, peanuts, soybeans, and sweet potatoes. Large forested areas, mostly pine, support pulp manufacturing and other forest-related industries. Commercial and sport fishing are done extensively on the coast, and thousands of tourists visit the state’s many beaches. The mainland coast is protected by a slender chain of islands known as the Outer Banks. The Appalachian Mountains—including Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in eastern America (6,684 feet)—add to the variety that is apparent in the state’s topography. More than 200 mountains rise 5,000 feet or more. In this area, widely acclaimed for its beauty, tourism is an outstanding business. The valleys and some of the hillsides serve as small farms and apple orchards; and here and there are business enterprises, ranging from small craft shops to large paper and textile manufacturing plants. The Piedmont Plateau, though dotted with many small rolling farms, is primarily a manufacturing area in which the chief industries are furniture, tobacco, and textiles. Here are located North Carolina’s five largest cities. In the southeastern section of the Piedmont—known as the Sandhills, where peaches grow in abundance—is a winter resort area known also for its nationally famous golf courses and stables.

  • Past Governors and Constitutional Officers of Tennessee
    Past Governors Tennessee Blue Book Past Governors and Constitutional Officers of Tennessee Past Governors William Blount 1790-1795, Democratic-Republican (territorial governor) Born in North Carolina in 1749, Blount served in the Continental Congress 1782-1783 and 1786-1787. In 1790 President Washington appointed him governor of the newly formed Territory South of the River Ohio, formerly part of North Carolina. While governor, Blount was also Indian affairs superintendent and negotiated, among others, the Treaty of the Holston with the Cherokees. His new government faced formidable problems, intensified by conflicts created by European/ Indian contact. In 1795 Blount called a constitutional convention to organize the state, and Tennessee entered the Union the next year. Blount represented the new state in the U.S. Senate, and after expul- sion from that body on a conspiracy charge, served in the state Senate. He died in 1800. John Sevier 1796-1801; 1803-1809, Democratic-Republican Born in Virginia in 1745, Sevier as a young man was a successful merchant. Coming to a new settlement on the Holston River in 1773, he was one of the first white settlers of Tennessee. He was elected governor State of Tennessee of the state of Franklin at the end of the Revolutionary War and as such became the first governor in what would be Tennessee. When statehood was attained in 1796, Sevier was elected its first governor. He served six terms totaling 12 years. While governor, he negotiated with the Indian tribes to secure additional lands for the new state and opened new roads into the area to encourage settlement.

HORTON PAPERS 1927-1933 GP 41 Processed by: Margaret Sawyer Archival Technical Services Completed: 1967 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION This collection represents the archival materials created during the administration of Tennessee Governor Henry H. Horton, 1927-1933. The collection consists of 33 boxes of materials such as correspondence, financial materials, applications, pardons, and other materials. There are no restrictions on the materials and copies of items may be made for individual and scholarly use. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Henry Hollis Horton, the son of a Baptist minister, was born in Alabama in 1866. after graduation from Winchester college in 1888, he taught school for six years, and was admitted to the bar in 1894. He served in the state House and later in the Senate, where he was elected speaker. It was from this office that he became governor when Austin Peay died. Successfully elected in his own right in 1929, his involvement with the lea- Caldwell banks in the depression years cost him his credibility and he came close to being found guilty of fraud. He abolished the state land tax, created an aeronautics division in state government, and developed a secondary road system. Horton did not seek re-election and died in 1934. *Tennessee Blue Book, 2001-2004, page 499. CONTAINER LIST Microfilm Reel #1 Box 1 1. Correspondence-Governor Henry H.
