FORE-WORD

This volume of family history was written by my father, Col. Cadwallader Jones, and left by him in rough manuscript. He compiled it from data, notes, and per­ sonal reminiscences, collected by him during the greater part of his life, especially the last few years, and with untiring patience and wonderful system recorded and classified. I trust that any omissions or incorrect detail of data which may occur in this book will be excused by its readers, as his life was not spared long enough to com­ plete the work as fully as he wished and intended. In the history of his immediate family, he gives a sketch of his own life with the rest, but with his usual modesty made it very short and unpretentious-I add a few extracts from some of the notices of him in the p;tpers at the time of his death :

"Columbia, S. C., December 1, 18g9. Col. Cadwallader Jones died early this morning-full of years and honors he passed away. Although 86 years old, Col. Jones has been always the picture of health, and it was only during the past week or two that his physical powers began to fail and his family and friends to realize that it was but a question of a short time when his brave spirit would re­ turn to the God who gave it." "December 3d. The funeral services of the late Col. Jones were held yesterday afternoon at Trinity Church. The attendance was very large, showing the high esteem

V in which this distinguished gentleman ·was held in Colum­ bia. A striking sight was the long procession of children and kindred that followed the bier of Col. Jones on foot from the home of his daughter, 1Irs. T. C. Robertson, into the church. There were eight sons and daughters, and perhaps twenty grand-children. "The members of Camp Hampton, U. C. V., turned out in a body to attend the services, and the Confederate Camp at Rock Hill, of which he was Commander, sent an hon~rary delegation, bearing a handsome floral offer­ ing from his old comrades. Inside the casket was placed three roses, one which was transplanted in 1780 from the garden at ':\It. Gallant,' the home of Col. Jones' great­ grand-father, Gen. Allen Jones, in eastern North Caro­ lina; one from the garclens of his wife's father! Gov.. Iredell, of Raleigh, N. C., which he has carried around with him since 1840, and another, contributed by a friend, which was grown from a bud that rested on the pulseless heart of John C. Calhoun." "Though in later years, owing to age, Col. Cad. Jones has not been prominently connected with public affairs, yet for more tha:ti a quarter of a century he was foremost in serving the interests of his State. He was always true and enthusiastic in every cause he espoused, entering the many contests which were presented with all the spirit, zeal and earnestness, always so characteristic of his. nature. When the Confederate War broke out, he organ­ ized a company of volunteers at Rock Hill, was elected Captain, and when the 12th Regiment was organized he was made Major; and after the battle of Sharpsburg he became Colonel. He bore with honor throughout the war the old sword worn by his father in the War of 1812,

vi and his grand-father in the Revolution. * * * The greater part of his life in South Carolina was spent at his hospitable home in Rock Hill, where he sought retirement from the excitement of political strife, and preferred the peace and quiet of his home circle and his many friends. He was a slave-owner and a planter on an extensive scale."

The vestry of the "Church of Our Saviour," at Rock Hill, in a memorial to him, says:

"This noble old man and his beloved wife were the first Episcopalians in this section. They were the first to organize the church here, and with zeal and love to work for its upbuilding. * * * We thank our Heavenly Father for the good example of these saints and for the privilege of worshipping with them at the same altar. Col. Jones was a leading citizen, a brave officer in the Confederate War, but above all, he was a Christian gentleman."

A GENEALOGICAL HISTORY

\\·e ought to keep before us the memory of our fathers. To this end it seems proper that I, the oldest living son of the Jones family of Roanoke, Va., should record what I know of them, for the information of those who bear their name or inherit their blood. This I propose briefly to do, making record also of the families \\rith whom they intermarried. As we like to trace the waters of rivers to their source among the hills and mountains, so I hope the descendants of those fam­ ilies may be interested in tracing their lineage to as remote an ancestry as is now permitted. In this effort we can only essay to rival the hunter who brings home a good bag of birds, not hoping to catch all that are in the woods. There were in Virginia at an early period of the settle­ ment of that colony, t\vo Jones families, both of-Welsh extraction and connected in the old country-one known as the Robert Jones, and the other as the Peter or Cad­ wallader Jones family. These, after a long residence in Virginia, were united by the intermarriage of :Maj. Allen Jones Green and Lucy Pride Jones, daughter of Maj. Cadwallader Jones, the 23d October, 1804, and further by the marriage of Frederick L. J. Pride, son of Maj. C. Jones, with Amaryllis Sitgreaves, grand-daughter of Gen. Allen Jones, the 27th June, 1811, and further still by the marriage of Col. Cadwallader Jones to Rebecca E. Long, grand-daughter of Gen. Allen Jones. The name Jones is Welsh, and is derived from John. The Welsh had no surname until compelled by Parlia- ment. Then they took their father's name £or their sur­ name. Thus Robert ap John, or Robert son of John, became Robert John or Johns, and by inserting e for eu­ phony, became Johnes or Jones. RoBERT JoNES.-About the middle of the 17th century, Robert Jones of \Vales came to Virginia as boatswain on a British man-of-war. Falling in love with a Norfolk "damsel," as tradition names her, while the ship lay off Old Point Comfort, he leaped overboard the night previ­ ous to sailing and swam ashore to his betrothed. They soon after married and settled near Norfolk. There were several children the fruits of this marriage, among them Robert Jones, second of the name. He was a planter in Surrey County, and was the father of Robert, called Robin Jones, third of the name, and of John and Nathaniel Jones, and others not remembered. John had two daugh­ ters, Patsey and Elizabeth ; the first married William Daniel, and was the mother of Hon. Jos. I. Daniel, Asso­ ciate Justice of the Supreme Court, and of Hon. J. R. J. Daniel, of North Carolina, member of Congress from Halifax District, and Attorney General of the State. Elizabeth was the mother of William Gray, of Randolph County, Va. Nathaniel Jones lived in Wake County, N. C., and was frequently member of the House and. Senate. His first term in the House was in 1787, and in the Senate in 1801. Kimbro Jones, a descendant of this Nathaniel, was a man of influence in the County of Wake, niember of Assembly 1819, member of the Convention in 1835 which revised the Constitution of the State. Robert, or Robin Jones, third of the name, moved to North Carolina as agent or attorney of John Cartaret; Earl of Granville, one of the eight Lords Proprietors. The rule of these Proprietors was overthrown 1719. The surrender of their charters was in 1727. Lord Granville refused to join in this surrender, whereupon it was agreed 2 1-!. I• HI·. RT ·' I RC I Hf X j I) X 1-: ~

between him and the King that he should have about one­ half of the State of ~·forth Carolina, but was to have no political authority. This agreement was in 1744. Robin Jones was a lawyer of eminent ability; was edu­ cated in England. where he attracted the attention of Granville, was appointed Attorney General for the Crmvn for North Carolina in 1761, as appears in a dispatch from Gov. Dobbs in Rolls office, London. Willie Jones, in a letter to his son, then a youth at college, dated March 1, 1798, says of him: "I not only wish that you should equal your companions and excel myself in all useful know­ ledge, but that you should rival your grand-father, Robert Jones, who was in point of genius a model indeed!" This was never intended to see the light, and was acci­ dentally discovered in an old file of letters, all the more to be appreciated. By his profession and as agent of his Lordship and attorney for the Crown, he rapidly acquired wealth, and became probably the largest landed proprie­ tor on the Roanoke. In the Rolls office there is this dispatch : "April 20, 1766. The Tuskeroras will move from Bertie this week to New York. Mr. Jones, the Attorney General, ad­ vanced £1,200 to aid in bringing waggons and provisions, on the credit of their land." The colonial records of North Carolina show that he was member of Assembly 1754-55, was author of the bill to establish a Supreme and County Court, and was appointed to prepare an address to the Governor on grievances. He moved the address to his :Majesty to give £8,000 to enable the Governor to assist in repelling the French. He died October 2, 1766, as appears from this dispatch, 1767: "Gov. Tryon informs the Board of Trade of the death of Robert Jones on Octo­ ber 2, and that he had appointed Marmaduke Jones, who had long been a resident, of first credit and capacity, about forty years old, educated in England and cousin to Sir 3 Marmaduke Wyvil." He was in every way a remarkable man. It became necessary to amputate his leg on account of white swelling; he postponed the operation until the afternoon, that he might argue a case in the morning. He was a firm believer in the Church of England. He lived unhappily with his second wife, Mary Eaton, and said in his will, that what he gave her in lieu of dower was far more than she deserved. Elizabeth was the only child of this marriage. She m., IO August, 1781, Benjamin Wil­ liams, ~overnor of North Carolina 1799 and 1807. Their son Benjamin married, 19 October, 1821, Mary Chal­ mers, of Moore County, and left a son, Benjamin Wil­ liams, whose widow is now living. Robin Jones married first, Sarah Cobb, in 1737 or '38, and was the founder of the Jones family in the counties of Halifax _and Northampton, on the Roanoke. His de·­ scendants by this wife intermarried with the Haynes, Eatons, Mumfords and Gilchrists, in colonial times, and later on with the Longs, Davies, Greens, Sitgreaves, Polks, Stiths, Daniels, Withers, Eppes,. Brodnax, and the Cadwallader Jones family, all in their day persons of th~ first respectability, and numbering now one of the largesy ....connections in this country. .. Before beginning with this multitude of descendants and kindred, let me recall the memory of our Welsh an­ cestors. It has been said of them that they can look upon the Saxons and Danes and Normans as recent intruders. They are the ancient Britons who escaped the Roman and Saxon conquests, and maintained their freedom, their customs and language until the latter part of the 13th century, when,after a most frantic and desperate struggle, they surrendered to Edward I. The Welsh bards, one of whom was Cadwallan, kept alive the spirit of freedom and independence by rehearsing in song the heroic achievements of their fathers. This influence was so 4 :'-IRS.<.~,,,·. \\'11.l.l.\~IS

EPPF.S great that the King ordered these minstrels to be massa­ cred wherever found. I hope that those who inherit the blood of these ancient Britons may also inherit their spirit of independence, their love of liherty and their heroism to maintain it. Robert Cobb, son of Isaac, 111. 9th February, 1712, Rebecca, daughter of William Pinkithman (Virginia His­ torical 1fagazine). She died in 1715, leaving two daugh­ ters, Elizabeth and Rebecca. Elizabeth married James Shields. In 1718, Robert Cobb m. his second wife, Eliza­ beth,

5 Gen. Allen Jones resided at "Mt. Gallant," in North­ ampton County, at the head of Roanoke Falls. Willie Jones lived at "The Grove," near Halifax. These old mansions, grand in their proportions, were the homes of abounding hospitality. In this connection, I may mention that when John Paul Jones visited Halifax, then a young sailor and stranger, he made the acquaint­ ance of those grand old patriots, Allen and Willie Jones; he was a young man but an old tar, with a bold, frank, sailor bearing that attracted their attention. He became a frequent visitor at their houses, where he was always welcome. He soon grew fond of them, and, as a mark of his esteem and admiration, he adopted their name, saying that if he lived he would make them proud of it. Tims, John Paul became Paul Jones-it was his fancy. He named his ship the Bon H om11ie Richard, in compliment to Franklin; he named himself Jones, in compliment to Allen and Willie Jones, When the first notes of war sounded he obtained letters from these brothers to Joseph Hewes, member of Congress from North Carolina, and through his influence received his first commission in the navy. I am now the 0ldest living descendant of Gen. Allen Jones. I remember my aunt, Mrs. Willie Jones, who survived her husband many years, and when a boy I have heard these facts spoken of in both families. Allen and Willie Jones were trusted leaders in the struggle for independence, and stood at the front, primus inter pares, with Harnet, Harvey, Johnston, Polk, Long, Caswell, Iredell, Nash, Hooper, the Ashes and a host of others not less patriotic, not less determined to meet op­ pression at the threshold and maintain in the colonies the rights of Englishmen. At the several congreses held in North Carolina for the purpose of asserting the rights of the colonies and maintaining them, Allen and Willie Jones were delegates and prominent members. The first con- 6 '.·;,· ·,_.,.~'. '-',: ~-:. ~---·

gress was held at New Bern, 25th August, 1774. Allen Jones was the sole delegate from Northampton; Nicho­ las Long and Willie Jones the only delegates from Hali­ fax. This congress has the distinction of being the first ever held in the States without royal authority, and in defiance of it. North Carolina had no Patrick Henry to "put the ball of Revolution in motion," but it has the proud claim of being the first of the colonies to move in its congress for Independence, and forming alliances, reserving to this colony the sole and exclusive right of forming a Constitution and laws for the "Colony." Allen and Willie Jones were on the committee that reported this bold resolution. At the congress the colony entered upon military organization. Nicholas Long was elected Colo­ nel of a battalion of minute men for the District of Hali­ fax; Allen Jones was chosen Brigadier General for Halifax District, with John Ashe, Vail, Caswell, Per/on and Rutherford for the five other districts. Willie Jones was appointed chairman of the committee of safety for the whole colony, which office was virtually making him Governor, as Gov. Martin had fled the colony. Nicholas Long was appointed Commissary General for all the forces of the colony, and later on was made Deputy Quartermaster for the southern division. As I have said, Allen and Willie Jones were well edu­ cated at Eton, "the nursery of the gentlemen of England." It was said of Willie that he could draw a bill in better language than any other man of his day. They differed in political opinions; Allen was a Federalist, his brother a Democrat, called at that time Republican, The Repub­ licans of to-day assume the name once so illustrious, but hold to the doctrines of Federalists, without the virtues of that respectable old party. In 1779, Allen Jones was sent delegate to the Conti­ nental Congress at Philadelphia; he was succeeded by his 7 brother \Villie in 1780. On the 21st July. 1788, a con­ vention composeUnited States; he declined to serve because he feared that a national government would destroy the independ­ ence of the States; Hugh Williamson was elected in his place. Patrick Henry, it is known, declined to serve in that convention for the same reason. The situation of the South to-day, crushed by the national government, shows the wisdom of their opinions. To the convention of 12th November, 1776, Allen and Willie Jones were delegates, and were both members of the committee which reported the Bill of Rights and Constitution of the State adopted at that congress. 8 (~ i·. :,: , . \ r.

This family were adherents of Charles I.. and sought refuge in Holland in the days of Cromwell, about 1700. Two brothers, Isaac and Thomas, came from Amsterdam to this country and set­ tled in Dotetort, Va., from them the family here are de­ scended. Thomas Haynes, Jr., and wife l\Iartha, of Roanoke, had issue ten children : I. Herbert, b. 1709. II. Anthony, b. 17r r, 111.

TPiE EDWARDS FAMILY

Jolz11 Edwards, of Brunswick County, Va., died 1713. From his will it appears he had sons, John, William, Na­ tha11iel and Benjamin; daughters, Mary and Sarah, to whom he left his estate with legacies to his cousins, Thomas, William and John Edwards. Col. Nathaniel Edwards died 1771, leaving his widow Jane and sons, Isaac and fVilliam; daughters, Mrs. Mary Ridley, Jfrs. Eli::abetlz Willis, Jfrs. Rebecca Jones and Anne and Sarah Edwards. He gave legacies to his wife's children by_her 1st husband, Anthony Haynes-all of which appears from his will, proven 22d July, 177r. Hon. Weldon N. Ed7.mrds, 1\.1. C. from ·warren Dis­ trict, State Senator, delegate to the Convention of 1835, was for a long time a leading Democrat in North Caro­ lina; he was son of Benjamin Edwards. Isaac Edwards was member with Abner Nash for New Bern, of the Provincial Congress in August, 1774, the first Congress that met in defiance of Royal authority. He was elected by the Congress that met April, 1775, but died before the meeting ( Colonial Records of North Carolina, vol. IX., pp. I rg6). He was Secretary to Gov. Tryon and Deputy Auditor of the province during the adminis­ tration of Gov. Martin, but his sympathies were evidently with the Colonies. He ni.

His first wife was daughter of Thomas Jefferson. He and Randolph were candidates for Congress. Randolph was advised to moderate his language at Buckingham Court House; in­ stead thereof he began his speech by saying: "When I 13 way a boy my mother taught me that the fear of God was the beginning of wisdom, since I became a man I have found out that the fear of man is the consummation of folly"-he was more bitter than ever. CJ!. lv.ic/10/as Long, founder of the Long family in Halifax, was in his day one of the most important men on the Roanoke; he was a wealthy planter; his residence "Quanky,'' near that old borough, had more than a State reputation; it was headquarters in military affairs.

HALIFAX It was here that the Declaration of Independence was first read in North Carolina. It reached Halifax on 22d July. The committee of safety appointed rst day of Au­ gust for the formal reading of that paper. At noon Cor­ nelius Harnett, that grand old patriot. ascended the ros­ trum at the Court House door, and amid the roar of cannon and the shouts of the assembled multitude, read the Declaration and proclaimed the Colonies were, and of right ought to be, Free and Independent States.

THE POLK FAMILY

This family of heroes for four generations in North Carolina and Tennessee, are of Scotch-Irish desce·nt. They are of very ancient lineage, tracing the family back to Fulbert, A. D. ro75. Petrius, the son of Fulbert, as­ sumed as a surname ( which at this time, 1153, became in use) instead of a patronymic, the name of his great here­ ditary lands of Pollok. From him was descended Sir Robert Pollok. In the time of James VI. and I. of Eng­ land, he moved to Ulster, Ireland, with a colony of Pro­ testants. His son, Robert Bruce Pollok, emigrated to America, at the time of his father's death. H«;. was an officer in Cromwell's army and was married to Madaline 20 ~sker. They settled in Somerset County, i\1d., in 1686. Their old home still stands, and in it still ticks away the tall clock they brought from Londonderry; there also is an old mahogany liquor case, that contained fifteen square bottles holding two and a half gallons each. They brought from Ireland the old family Bible, containing records of births and deaths. It was stained by the weather from being hid in a tree. Vvrhen it was read, one of the family would stand guard to warn the worshippers of the ap­ proach of Papists. This was after the Restoration. Robert Bruce Pollok is said to have been an Elder in old Rehoboth Church, that claims to be the oldest Presbyte­ rian church in America. His great-grand-son, Thomas Polk, born in Pennsylvania. moved to Mecklenburg, N. C., in 1753, was a member of the Provincial Assembly, 176<). He ,Yas Colonel of the North Carolina Continental troops and rose to be General during the war. It is well known that he was prominent in rousing the people to make the :\lecklenburg Declaration of Independence, and that he read that famous paper from the Court House steps to the assembled multitude. A Scotch soldier is re­ ported to have claimed that "Auld Tam Polk declared independence lang before anybody else." His son, Col. Wm. Polk, of Raleigh, N. C., was born in Mecklenburg, 9th July, 1758. He entered the service at the age of 16, and was appointed 1fajor of the 9th Regiment North Carolina Continental Battalion, N"ovember, 1776, when 18 years of age. At one time he followed the fortunes of :\Iarion and Sumter, and was aide to Caswell at Camden. He was distinguished for gallantry throughout the war. ..-\t Eutaw his horse was killed under him, and at the same time his brother fell. At Brandywine he was shot through the shoulder and at Germantown through the mouth. Here he became known as ''the young officer who caught British bullets in his teeth." In a hand to hand fight 21 with a British cavalryman he is reported to have said: "I parried his thrust, and with a blow of my sabre, split him like a cabbage head." He was appointed General in the United States Army in 1812. This he declined on account of age and infirmities. He represented Mecklenburg from 1789 to 1791. V-./as nominated by Washington, and confirmed by United States Senate, Supervisor of Internal Revenue for North Carolina, which office he held for 17 years. He was one of the commissioners to receive Lafay­ ette for North Carolina, in 1824, and was a member of the Order of the Cincinnati. He died 14 January, 1834. He married 1st, Griselda, daughter of Thomas Gil­ christ and wife, Martha Jones. They had two sons, Gen. Thomas Gilchrist Polk and Dr. William Junius Polk. Gen. Thomas G. Polk m.

Susan, m. Hon. Kenneth Rayner. Leonidas Polk, the Bishop General, graduated at West Point. Just before graduating he studied for the min­ istry ; his father was displeased at this. His old friend, Senator Butler, asked him where his son was stationed. "Stationed! \Vhy, by thunder, sir, he is over there at Alexandria in the Seminary." The same exalted prin­ ciples that caused him to leave West Point for the church, led him, when the war was on, to change the mitre for a sword. He believed the liberties of his country were at stake and that it was his duty to fight. In an artillery duel across the Mississippi a gun burst near the General. One private was thrown at the feet of the Bishop. "Ain't that hell," said the fellow as he rose. "Well," said the Bishop, "it smells like it." President Polk was grand­ son of ~ Polk, brother of Col. Thomas Polk. He 1eft no issue. Dr. William J. Polk and wife, Mary R. A. Long, had issue: I. Griselda Gilchrist, b. at "Mt. Gallant," 8 March, 1819. II. Allen J., b. 5 March, 1824. III.

THE GREEN FAMILY

The first of the family in this country was John Green, son of Peter of Ainsley Hall, England; he came to Provi­ dence, R. I., in the ship James, 1st April, 1635, returned to London, 1644, to negotiate for Narraganset. He was associated with Roger \Villiams at Salem, and embraced with him extreme Puritan views. It appears from the "Massachusetts Records'' _that he was fined 1_00 marks for __ speaking contemptuously of the magistrates, and was again fined £20 and forbidden the jurisdiction on pain of fine and imprisonment. Roger \Villiams emigrated 1630, and was driven from Salem 1635. The next ancestor known of was Farnifold Green, who settled in Craven County, N. C., about 1700. It appears from Virginia State papers that this Farnifold and others in 1711 petitioned Gov. Spotswood for protection against the Indians. He was murdered by the Tuscaroras 1713, leavin~ a son, Farnifold, who died 1759, leaving three sons, James, John and Joseph. Among the sons of James was James 28 Green. fr .. who was Clerk of the Colonial Congress for several years: he 111. 1777, Peggy, daughter of Richard Cogdell. Ernest Green, of Newbern, N. C., Registrar of Deeds, is a great-grand-son of Joseph, son of James Green, the elder, who died Ii88. Farnifold Green, the 3d, a lineal descendant of Farni­ fold the 1st. also lived in Craven County; he m. Holland Applewhite. They had one son, Ja111es lV., who in. Martha Cobb. daughter of Gen. Allen Jones, and had issue, one son, .1/aj. Alim J. Gree11. This James W. Green, a Continental officer in the North Carolina line; was Surgeon ·s l\Iate. r6 June, 1778, promoted Sur­ geon. December, 1779; was with Continentals at Charles­ ton, 1 i8o, and made prisoner at the surrender of that city, 12 .-\ugust, Ij8o; was exchanged 14 June, 1781. 6th February, 1782, he was Surgeon of the 1st North Carolina Continentals, and in the "\,Vashington Corres­ pondence'' is mentioned as one of the officers of the war who continued to the end thereof. This correspondence is in MSS., and may be found in the War Department. The North Carolina officers are mentioned in the "University l\Iagazine," :\lay, 1894. It appears from the will of Farnifold Green, proven March, 1804, that he left his grand-son, Allen J. Green, a large tract of land in Craven County. In the Colonial Records is this record, dated January, 1775: "John Green and John W. Stanly are ap­ pointed by the committee of Craven County to receive subscriptions in corn, peas, pork or money for the relief of Boston.'' 1vlaj. Allen Jones Green, b. 14 February, 1783, was left an orphan by the death of his father, and was raised at "Mt. Gallant'' by his grand-father, Gen. Allen Jones. At the age of 14 he was sent to Norfolk to a training ship to be educated for the navy. As Past Midshipman he 29 cruised in the :Mediterranean with Johnson Blakely, his mess-mate, and was in an engagement with the Dey of Algiers. He was one of the few men I have ever met who could read Shakespeare entertainingly. I shall never forget how his family and friends would enjoy his reading of the g-reat poet, and of Gil Blas and Don Quixotte. He remained in the navy until engaged to be married, when he was informed by his grand-father, Gen. Allen Jones, who had charge of his future bride, '·You must choose between the navy and a wife.'' He was not long in making his choice and married at Halifax Lucy Pride Jones, 23 October, 1804. daughter of l\laj. Cadwallader Jones and wife Mary Pride, of Virginia. This intermarriage united the two Jones families before mentioned. He died at "Rose Hill," his residence near Landsford, 6th February, 1832. Soon thereafter Mrs. Green moved to Columbia, S. C., where she died 6th April, 1864. I have heard she was beautiful in her youth ; let me add that in character she was beautiful in her age. She was born 21st August, 1790. They had children: I.

THE SITGREAVES FAMILY

John Sitgrem•es was appointed Judge of the District Court of North Carolina by Washington. He was Lieu­ tenant-Colonel in the Revolution, was aide to Gov. Cas­ well at Camden, was member of the Continental Con- 33 gress. 1784, and from 1786 to 1789: died 18o2. He m. Martha, widow of James \V. Green and daughter of Gen. Allen Jones. Thev had two children, Aman,•llis, wife of F. L. J. Pride, a~d Col. John Sitgrea·ves, ·b. May 1st, 1799, d. November, 1868: he was a planter in York County. frequently member of Assembly, m. Anna Love, of York County. Issue: 1. John, d. unmarried, 1874. 2. Amelia, 111. Col. C. J. Pride. 3. Frederick, m'. Mattie White. 4. Osceola, 111. Edmonia Broyles. 5. Junius Alexa11der, 111. Beverley Rudd, daughter of Commodore Rudd. He served gallantly as Captain of Calhoun Battery, and lost a leg at Appomattox. Judge Sitgreaves and his brother were distinguished for gallantry. The Judge was said to be very stern in his manners.- On one occasion Gen. Davie and some friends taking tea with him, he said to the children, "It is time for you to be in bed," they marched off instantly. "You see," said Mrs. Sitgreaves, "we have them well trained." "Yes,'' said Davie, "and if he had said, 'l\frs. Sitgreaves, it is time to retire, you would have marched, also.' "

A~CESTRAL LINE OF THE CADWALLADER JONES FAMILY As before said, the name Jones was originally John. Before surnames were adopted in Wales, ap-son of­ was used. Thus: John ap John, or John's John, then Johne's, then Jones. An apt illustration may be found in the ancient family of the Cadwalladers, of Philadelphia, who trace their pedigree to March Wilthian, Lord of Isaleel, about the 11th century. They never bore the name of Cadwallader until it was assumed by Gen. John Cadwallader, emigrat­ ing ancestor of this family, 1698. Thomas ap Hugh, of Wales, had two sons, Cadwalla- 34 der ap Thomas, and John ap Thomas. The first had a son named John, who called himself John Cad·walladcr; John ap ·Thomas named his son Robert; he callled himself Robert Johns, which became Robert Jones. The de­ scendants of these brothers have borne their different names ever since. I am informed by Dr. Charles E. Cad­ wallader, of Philadelphia, that "There was a Cadwallader Jones who was first cousin to my emigrating ancestor, Gen. John Cadwallader, the latter coming to Pennsylva­ nia in r6

The founder of the Eppes family in Virginia was Thomas Eppes; he settled at City Point, 1635. Col. Francis Eppes, 3d of the name, m., 1724, Sarah Hamlin, rdaughter of Robert Hamlin, Burgess for Prince George) County, 1751. This Francis and wife Sarah had issue: I.

This regiment was organized 6th February, 1777, with George Baylor, Colonel; William Washington, Lieu­ tenant-Colonel; Richard Call, Major. He served with this regiment through the war, except when acting as Aide-de-Camp to Gen. Lafayette. He was with Lafay­ ette, ranking as Major, in the memorable campaign of 1781, was with him at Brandywine, and at the surrender of Cornwallis. As a mark of his gallantry, and of the regard which Lafayette had for him, he presented him with a Toledo blade, which was fixed in the hilt of the old sword above 40 ~I .\ J .

He was educated at the famous Marcus George School, \Varrenton, K. C., was a student at the University; left it at the age of 17 and joined the navy; was Midshipman on the Chesapeake when attacked by the Leopard, 18o7. It was Commodore Barron's flagship; had just started for a cruise in the l\Iediterranean; was unprepared for action; was disabled and returned to port. The question was the right to search for British sailors. He quit the navy and joined the United States Army at Halifax; was appointed First Lieutenant Third Regiment, 3d May, 18o8, Pasture Colonel. The regiment reported to Gen. \Vilkinson on the Mississippi, where the regiment was decimated by disease and formed into one company. On the r2th Au­ gust, he was made Adjutant of the regiment under Gen. Wade Hampton, who succeeded Wilkinson. He remained with Hampton until November, 1810, when he resigned to marry. He was a wealthy and successful planter, first on the Roanoke, later on he purchased the "Mt. Gallant" place, in York County, S. C., and a valuable plantation on the Black \Varrior, in Alabama, and was the owner of a large number of rtegroes. From early. training he had a military bearing, the suavitas in modo, fortitu in re, was happily blended in his manner and character. Though fitted for service in the affairs of State, he never sought position, but gave his life to domestic and social virtues. He served on the Board of Internal Improvement during the administrations of Burton, Iredell, and Owens; was President of the Roanoke Navigation Co., and was for a long time Chairman of the Court of Com­ mon Pleas and Quarter Sessions, which, under the old system, had jurisdiction of all matters save capital felo­ nies. Mrs. Jones was distinguished for her pure piety, 43 and in all the relations of wife, mother and friend was most exemplary. A friend, speaking of her old age, said, "Her heart sur'i.'i'i.•ed all other parts of her worn frame, and was warm and living to the last." Issue: I. Allen C., b. at Everets, ith November, 18II. II.

C., among others, the l\1ush Island estate, with as rich bottoms as can be found on the Roan­ oke. He lived in Petersburg, owned what is known as Pride's Old Field, now an important part of the city. He adhered to the English idea-Of giving his lands. to his son; this he did, with all the negroes thereon, except nine given to each of his daughters, with £ I ,ooo to each of them, and lots in the city. He appointed Allen and Willie Jones and Thomas Short his executors in North Carolina, and Howell, Briggs and Timberlake executors in Virginia. In the event of his children all dying before coming of age, he gave all of his estate to William Pride, William Timberlake and Winnie Pride. These were double cousins. There was a John Pride, vestryman of Gambrill Church, Raleigh Parish, 1790, also his cousin. It has always been believed that the Prides are of the family of Col. Pride of Cromwell's army, who drove out the Long 56 Parliament-called Pride's purge. When it was pro­ posed in the House of Commons to confer the title of King upon Cromwell, he consulted friends. The Rev. Calamy said it was illegal and impracticable. "Besides," said Calamy, "it is against the voice of the nation; there will be nine in ten against you." ''But what," said the Protector, "if I should disarm the nine and put a sword in the tenth man's hand, would not that do the business?" Col. Pride said to him : "If you accept the crown, I will shoot you with my own hand." Charles II. wished to marry Cromwell's daughter Fran­ ces; he objected, saying, "The King will never forgive the death of his father; besides, he is so damnably debauched, he canot be trusted."

THE BUTLER FAMILY

Maj. Pierce Butler, the first ancestor in this country, was an Irishman, a descendant of Ormond, the celebrated Jacobin Duke. He came to America as an officer in the British Army; he soon resigned and married Miss Mid­ dleton, a lady of large estate, and settled in South Caro­ lina. After the surrender of Charleston he escaped literally barefooted, and sought shelter in Korth Caro­ lina. His daughter m. Dr. Mease, of Philadelphia; his grand-children by this daughter, his sole representative in succeeding to his fortune, adopted his name. · William Butler m. Miss Perry, sister of Commodore Perry. They had, among other children, Mrs. Carson, of Greenville, Gen. Matthew Calbraith Butler and William Butler. Commodore Perry was named for a bright little boy, Matthew Calbraith, son of the Captain of the vessel on which his father went to Europe. Gen. Butler m. Maria, daughter of Governor Pickens. Her twin-sister, Eliza, m. Capt. J. Stricker Coles. Rebecca m. Judge Bacon. Governor Pickens' 3d wife is Lucy Holcombe, by whom he had Douschka, whom. George Dugas. Gen. Butler has sons, Dr. Frank W. P. Butler, who 111. 60 Lilian Jones: Jfaj. Jf. C. Butler, and a daughter, Marie, whom. Lieut. ::\kNeely, of the United States Navy. His son lVillie, and daughter Elise, died in the first bloom of youth-both were unusually bright and attractive.

THE IREDELL FAMILY

A tradition which followed this family from Great Britain is, that the true name is Ireton, and that they are collateral descendants of Henry Ireton, son-in-law of Cromwell. At the Restoration this change of name was made to escape the clamor and fury of the Royalists. Certain it is that the coat of arms of the Iredells is the same as the Ireton. The first of the family of whom we have record is the Rev. Francis Iredell, of Dublin. He m. Eleanor McCart­ ney, niece of Judge McCartney, of Kings Bona, Ireland, who was first cousin of Sir George McCartney, General of Bengali, 1785, and Ambassador to China, with the dignity of Earl, 1792. She had a sister, Isabella, who died 1765, and two brothers, James am! Charles, merchants, respectively, of Bristol and Dublin. Charles m. a daughter of James McCulloh, of Grogan, and left one daughter, Margaret McCartney. The Rev. Francis Iredell and wife Eleanor, left two sons: Thomas, a wealthy planter in Tarroca, died unmar­ ried: and Francis, merchant of Bristol, whom. Margaret l\kCulloh, I August, 1750, and had issue: fames, b. 5 October, 1751: Charles, Francis, Arthur, and Thomas, b. 1761. This Margaret McCulloh was a lineal descendant of Sir Cullo O'Neil, first Laird of Myrton, Scotland, and a son of the Clane boys, Ireland. In the early part of the 14th century, the Irish took up arms to throw off the 61 British yoke, and called on Robert de Bruce. King of Scotland, to assist. He sent his brother Edward, with 6,000 men. Cullo O'Neil, an Irish patriot, was made Captain of Horse. They drove the English out of Ulster. The English being reinforced surprised Edward de Bruce near Dundolk. Here Edward was slain by Malpers; Capt. Cullo O'Neil, with heroic effort, slew Malpers, re­ covered and brought off the sword of Edward and made a successful retreat to King Robert de Bruce's army, coming on to join his brother. For this distinguished gallantry the King knighted Capt. O'Neil, made him his standard bearer, Secretary of State and gave him the lands of l\iyrton-the rendendo being "a rose for the King to smell at when he came to Myrton." Sir Cullo O'Neil died 1331, leaving his estate of l\Iyrton to his eld­ est son, Sir Godfrey, who assumed the surname McCullo. The estate was held in this name until 1524, when Sir Alexander J1 cCullo died without issue male and was suc­ ceeded by his son-in-law, Henry McCulloh, who m. his daughter Jforgarct. The cllarter was renewecl by James I. again by Queen Mary, and held by Simeon, i-Villiam and Alcxa11der M cCulloh until 1643, when he died, and was succeeded by his son William, of Brandel­ ston, who left two sons, Ja,izes, of Grogan, and Henry, of_ Brandelston. The estate was sold for family debts and heritable bonds before James, of Grogan, came into pos­ session. It thus appears how the name Cullo O'Neil was changed to Cullo and again to McCulloh. Margaret McCulloh, wife of Francis Iredell, was daughter of James McCulloh and wife, Mary Ferguson, grand-daughter of James McCulloh, of Grogan. "The Claneboys in the Iredell family is Clandeboys or Claeboye on Belfast Lough, the seat of Lord Dufferin, late Governor General of India, a lineal descendant of

Hugh O'Neil, ancestor of Clan Hugh Buoy or Claneboys'' ( Sweeney). fames Iredell, Associate Justice of the first Supreme Court of the Cnited States, appointed by Washington, 1790. was born at Lewes, England, 5 October, 1751. His fame rests not merely on his great legal ability, but as well also on the ability and boldness with which he discussed the points in dispute between the colonies and Britain in I7i4-75. These discussions were in pamphlets and pri­ vate letters, being- precluded by his office of Collector of the Port of Roanoke, from public effort. William Hooper says: "\Vhilst I was active in contest, he forged the weapons which were to give success to the cause I supported.'' Of his letter to Hooper, 26 April, 1774, Jo­ seph Seawell Jones, in his Defence of North Carolina, says : "I look upon this letter as not inferior to any event in the history of the coti.ntry, and in the boldness and originality of its views, I say that it is a document without a rival at the period of its date. It takes precedence of the Mecklenburg Declaration, as that does of the National Declaration of Independence''-statesman and jurist, learned and hold-patriot, alongside of both. By the influence of his cousin, Sir George McCartney, he was appointed Deputy Collector of the Port of Roanoke at the age of 17 years; by his own talent he was elected Attorney General of the State in I779., at the age of 28. Hem. Hannah Johnstone, 18 July, 1773, youngest daughter of John Johnstone and wife, Helen Scrymgoeur,

THE JOHNSTONE FAMILY

The J ohnstones are an ancient family, deriving their name from the Barony of Johnstone, in Annandale, Scot­ land. By successive creations from 1420 to 1701, the head of the race attained the dignity of Marquis. The first of this family in America was Gabriel, appointed by the King Governor of North Carolina, 1734; his brother John was appointed Surveyor of the State, 1736. Gabriel Johnstone held his office for nearly twenty years; he died August, 1752. His administration was eminently suc­ cessful; the province peaceful and the people satisfied, rapidly improving in wealth and population. In respect for his memory the County of Johnstone was named for him. He m. Penelope, daughter of Charles Eden, Governor of North Carolina 1720, died in office 1722. Mar1•, only child of Governor Johnstone, m. Col. John Dawson, of Williamsburg, Va., son of Col. Dawson and wife, Mary Stith. She was descended from William Randolph, of Turkey Island, and Mary Isham, of Ber­ muda Hundreds. This Randolph was the founder of the illustrious families of Jefferson, Randolph and Lee. 65 Col. Dawson left one daughter, Penelope Eden, who m. Tristram Louther. They had William , m. Annie Sawyer, and Maria, m. Joseph B. Skinner. They had Tristram Skinner, a gallant officer, who fell at Sharps­ burg, and Penelope, 111. Thomas D. \Varren, of Edenton. Governor Gabriel Johnston and his brother John were from Dundee, Scotland. The Governor dropped the final letter of his name; his brother John retained it. He lived, as before said, in Onslow County; was a wealthy planter, and was ordained minister of the Church of Eng­ land, but was never rector of any church. He m. Helen -Scrymgoeur, of Scotland, and had issue: Samuel, John, Penelope, Jane Duncan, Annie, Isabella, Hannah. I. Samuel Johnstone, Governor of North Carolina, 1787, was a grand character, the equal of any man the State has produced at any period-his name is iden­ tified with the history of the State during his time. Every honor was conferred upon him which the State could bestow-member of the Assembly at New Bern, 1775; Moderator of the Assembly and President of the Provincial Congress, l 780-82; dele­ gate to th~ Continental Congress at Philadelphia; Judge, 1800, and th~ first United States Senator elected from North Carolina, 178g. He was a wealthy planter, and, after a busy life and for the purpose of repose, he resigned his office of Judge in 18o3, and retired to his residence, "Hayes," near Edenton, where he died, 1816. He m. Frances Cathcart, and left four children: 1. Penelope, m. John Swann, 1\1. C. 2. James C.; 3, Fanny, and 4, Helen. These died unmarried. II. John Johnstone, 2d son of the Surveyor General, lived at Sapona, Bertie County. He was also a wealthy planter; a man of culture and literary at- 66 ; '•._III::,..·

VIII. Hannah, m. James Iredell, Judge United States Court. These families-the Johnstones, Iredells, Tredwells, Alstons and Blairs-intermarried and lived for more than a century about the old town of Edenton, in the utmost friendship and mutual esteem. James C. Johnstone, by the death of his sisters, became sole heir of the Johnstone estate. He was a man of culture and proud of his ances­ tors and family; in the year 1863, pending the war, he made his will, disinheriting his natural heirs, and be- 68 -~-, . .

queathed his large property to persons not connected with him by blood or marriage. To his overseer he gave all his Roanoke lands, with everything upon them, including about 500 negroes; to Hallowell he gave his Pasquotank lands, and to Edward \Vood his ancestral home, "Hayes," and bank stock, &c., amounting to about $300,000. To his servant, Aaron, he left $7,500, with the request that he should be set free. There can be but one solution of the causes of his will-he was insane ; a strong mind overthrown by dis­ ease and age ; for he had attained 87 years. I must not omit to recall an evidence of his kind feeling and love for his cousin, l\frs.
