Volume 60 Feb 2008 North Carolina in 1822 FFRU Volume 60 - Page 1 [left intentionally blank - back of cover - do not print] FFRU Volume 60 - Page 1 Cover Image: North Carolina in 1822. When the last North Carolina county was formed in 1911, this brought the total number of counties to 100. Obviously, in a state the size of North Carolina, many of these counties are quite small. In 1822, only about half of these 100 counties existed. So, the implications of this are that you must make sure that the county existed for the timeframe in question, and if it didn’t or if it was newly-formed, you might want to look into the history of the county to determine what county or counties it may have been formed from. While you’re doing this, you might want to check how close your ancestors lived to the county lines. This should not be a new concept to researchers - it is just a normal part of research. I live in North Carolina. Since moving here, I have been surprised to learn a number of interesting facts about this state. As everyone in the US learned in grade school history classes, North Carolina was a holdout in joining the Union and ratifying the Constitution. They would not sign the Constitution until the Bill of Rights was added to it. What I hadn’t learned was why. During the time of the Regulators and such, prior to and during the Revolutionary War, each and every right that is listed in the Bill of Rights was violated in what was then Orange County, North Carolina. I always thought it was bizarre and very specific to mention the housing of troops in the Bill of Rights, but the reason is that this exact thing happened right here under the oppression of the colonial governor. North Carolinians wanted to be sure that this didn’t happen in their newly-formed country. The United States and the world in general is a very different place than it might have otherwise been because of the Bill of Rights, and North Carolina is in large measure to thank for it. A number of important Revolutionary War battles were fought here, including Cowpens and Guilford Courthouse. Franklins were involved in both of these battles. The state capital is now in Raleigh, but it wasn’t always. In fact, Raleigh became the capital in 1792 which seems like it was early in the history of the state, but was 130 years after the first colonists settled there. 1 The capital had previously been in Edenton and Hillsborough. The largest Confederate surrender was negotiated here, about 12 miles from my home. After Sherman’s sweep through the south, he headed north again. On 26 Apr 1865, Confederate General Joseph Johnston ne- gotiated the surrender of the armies 2 of Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida, to Union General William T. Sher- man. This took place at a little farmhouse called “Bennitt Place” just outside of what is now Durham. http://www.nchistoricsites.org/bennett/ 1. Naturally, Native Americans should have a different view of when North Carolina history began. - Ed. 2. 89,270 troops . FFRU Volume 60 - Page 2 Letter from the Editor Continuing the Census Series, this issue is devoted to North Carolina. As many of you know, I have called North Carolina my home for the past 26 years. They’ve been good years. All of my children were born here. Speaking of whom, we’ve added a new granddaughter to our family. However, because our family only has daughters, we won’t be adding any Franklins... This volume has taken a long, long time to produce. This is not because I have special access to records here (which I do), but rather because a lot of records are now available on the internet, and as you can see, in addition to the basic transcription work, I’ve written well over 300 footnotes. These add a tremendous amount of information to the census. I have not developed all of the implications of these footnotes as fully as they can be. There are dozens of FFRU articles that already cover these lineages, and there are dozens more articles that can and should be written using this information. In fact, one of the articles in the next volume does indeed document a North Carolina Franklin family. This is the official state toast: Here’s to the land of the long leaf pine, The summer land where the sun doth shine, Where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great, Here’s to “Down Home,” the Old North State!

Where the meaning is not compromised by adhering to the spelling, punctuation or grammar, no change has been made. Corrections or additional notes have been inserted within brackets or footnotes. Blanks appearing in the transcripts reflect blanks in the original. A bracketed question mark indicates that the word or words preceding it represent(s) a guess by me. The word 'illegible' or 'indecipherable' appearing in brackets indicates that at the time I made the transcription, I was unable to decipher the word or phrase in question.

I use speech recognition software to make all my transcriptions. Such software misinterprets my southern accent with unfortunate regularity and my poor proofreading skills fail to catch all misinterpretations.

    Governors’ Papers 1 Alexander Martin GOVERNOR ALEXANDER MARTIN (First Administration), 1781-1785, n.d. Arrangement: By record series, then chronological Reprocessed by: James Mark Valsame Date: September 3, 2009 Alexander Martin (1738 – November 2, 1807), merchant, lawyer, legislator, governor, and senator, was born at Lebanon, Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, NJ, the oldest son of Hugh and Jane Hunter Martin. Hugh Martin was born near Inniskilling, County Tyrone, Ireland, about 1700; Jane Hunter Martin was born in County Antrim, Ireland, about 1720. The two families migrated within a few years of each other in the late 1720s, landing at New Castle, DE, but settling soon afterwards in New Jersey, where Hugh and Jane first met and were married. Little is known of Alexander Martin’s childhood except for a comment of his brother that he did not speak a word until four. His father became a moderately prosperous farmer, served as a justice of the peace, and for a period conducted an English school. Alexander attended Francis Alison’s academy at New London, Connecticut, and then Newark College, which, while he was a student, was moved, under the direction of President Aaron Burr, to Princeton, N.J. Martin received A.B. (September 29,1756) and A.M. (1759) degrees from Princeton. After graduation he moved to Cumberland, Virginia, where, for just over a year, he served as a tutor to the son of N. Davies and conducted a school. He returned briefly to New Jersey, apparently on family business, before making a permanent move south to seek his fortune. Martin settled in Salisbury, NC, about 1760, and became a merchant.

    The 1821 Insurrectionary Scare in Eastern North Carolina. (Under the Direction of James E

    ABSTRACT KAISER, JOHN JAMES. “Masters Determined to be Masters”: The 1821 Insurrectionary Scare in Eastern North Carolina. (Under the direction of James E. Crisp.) This thesis seeks to explain how the militia and patrols worked together in a flexible system designed to suppress both real and potential slave unrest. As the summer of 1821 neared its end, depredations committed by runaway slaves caused widespread alarm throughout Eastern North Carolina. Their depredations resulted in an insurrectionary scare that grew to include eight counties in Eastern North Carolina. Although documentation is sparse, there remains a trail of communications between militia officers and Governor Jesse Franklin detailing the scare from its inception. In addition, numerous militia officers wrote the Governor and General Assembly to justify their actions during and after the scare. These letters and petitions provide the story of the 1821 insurrectionary scare. Furthermore, this thesis will place the insurrectionary scare within the context of circumstances prevalent in Eastern North Carolina in 1821. These circumstances included an outbreak of yellow fever, extreme weather, harsh political bickering (both local and national), and a large (and increasing) slave population combined with White flight to the South and West. This thesis begins with the discussion of an unfortunate occurrence on Street’s Bridge that left several militiamen and citizens wounded. Their presence on the bridge was part of a system designed to ensure the subjugation of the local slave population. However, in a highly ironic twist of fate, these two groups of men (citizen and militia) encountered one another on Street’s Bridge. The exchange of fire that resulted caused several casualties on both sides.

It consists of a blue union containing in the center thereof a white star with the letter N in gilt on the left and the letter C in gilt on the right of the star. The fly of the flag consists of two equally proportional bars, the upper bar red and the lower bar white. The length of these bars is equal to the perpendicular length of the union, and the total length of the flag is one-third more than its width. Above the star in the center of the union is a gilt scroll in semi-circular form, containing in black the inscription: "May 20, 1775," and below the star is a similar scroll containing the inscription: "April 12, 1776." This first date was placed on the flag to mark the signing of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. The second date marks the day on which the Halifax Convention empowered the North Carolina members of the Continental Congress to concur with the delegates of the other colo- nies in declaring independence.

    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.
