WILLIS A LSTON, Jr. OHN A LSTON, the first of the family known to North Carolina history, was granted a tract of land in 171 1 on Bennett's Creek, near Gates- ville, in Gates County. He was a large land holder in 1724, and was made a justice of the peace by the governor of the province at a time when this office meant a great deal. In 1729 he is referred to as "Colonel" Alston, which indicates that he had served as colonel of the county militia. A s on of John Alston, Joseph John, married as his second wife a daughter of Willis Wilson, of Norfolk County, Virginia. The eldest child of this union was Willis Alston, of Halifax, born in 1750. He was a member of the North Carolina Provincial Congress which met at Halifax in April, 1776, and again of the convention which drew up the first State constitution at the same place in the following November. He was made colonel of the Halifax militia by the convention toward the close of its session. For some cause not stated in the records of the State he was superseded in command in 1778 by Samuel Weldon. Willis A lston, Jr., son of the colonel of the Halifax militia, born in 1770, was the most important member of his race. He entered the House of Commons in the year 1791, when he was only twenty-one years of age. He served in this body again in 1799, and in 1820 and 1821. From 1794 to 1796 he was in the State Senate. But t he important period of his life was from December, 1799, NORTH C AROLINA to M arch, 1815. In the very exciting campaign of 1799 Gen eral William R. Davie, of Halifax, a staunch Federalist, was elected a member of the House of Commons ; he was made gov ernor by the same General Assembly as a Federalist. Willis Alston was chosen the same year a member of the national House of Representatives from the Halifax district, and as a Republican. North Carolina was evenly balanced in 1798 to 1800 between the Federalists and the Republicans. Davie permitted President Adams to appoint him a member of his second commission to France late in 1799. In accepting this mission, Davie put himself out of the first place in the State at a critical time for himself and his party. A year later Thomas Jefferson, the matchless leader of the Republicans, became President of the United States, and Davie returned to North Carolina to find the State in the hands of the new President's followers. Alston was one of these, and Nathaniel Macon, of the neighboring county of Warren, was their chief. Jefferson a sked Macon to interview Davie on his return from Paris and find out if he (Davie) would not probably lend his support to the party in power. Davie was seen in Raleigh ; he was non-committal. However, the liberal-minded President appointed him to an important office of a temporary nature — that of Indian commissioner for the Southwest. Meanwhile, A lston had proven a very acceptable member of Congress, and in 180 1 he had been re-elected. But Davie returned to Halifax on the expiration of his mission to the Indians, and decided soon after, in 1803, to become a candidate for Alston's place. Davie was an unusually strong man — popular because of his brilliant Revolutionary War record, powerful through his wide circle of Federalist friends and family connections, and attractive to the popular mind as the ex-governor and minister to the Court of Napoleon. It was a foregone conclusion that Alston would be defeated. The Republicans became uneasy. President Jeffer son, rather displeased at Davie's refusal to heed his overtures, took a hearty interest in the struggle.

  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.

    Vol. 2 No. 6 _____ ___________________________________ _ __ June 2005 National Historic Landmark Hopsewee Plantation, birthplace of signer of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Lynch, Jr. Hopsewee Plantation on the North Santee River is like a property on the North Santee River from Hopsewee to the Atlantic step into a still spot in history. The beautiful vista of golden river and Intracoastal Waterway, with seven tidal zone rice plantations in the green and gray of moss-hung trees give one pause and time for production. Hopsewee was built by the Lynch family between 1733 contemplation. and 1740. This beautiful site is the first high ground on the North Santee River upstream from its mouth. This site was chosen of all the Lynch property for the family home of Thomas Lynch, Sr. (1726- 1776). Hopsewee overlooks the beautiful North Santee River and its rice fields that were its primary source of income until the Civil War. Thomas Lynch, Sr. married Elizabeth Allston, of Brookgreen Plantation, another prominent Georgetown County family, and they had two daughters Sabina (b. 1747) and Esther (b. 1748) and one son, Thomas Lynch, Jr. (1749-1779). After Elizabeth Allston died (c. 1755), Mr. Lynch married Hannah Motte, and they had a daughter, Elizabeth (b. 1755). The senior Thomas Lynch was a distinguished public servant and one of the most important Santee River planters. As a prominent indigo planter, he was the first President of the Winyah Indigo Society founded in 1755. In 1751 he was the delegate elected Built between 1735-1740 Hopsewee is one of the oldest residences in South Carolina.
