Sandhills’ Families: Early Reminiscences of the Fort Bragg Area Cumberland, Harnett, Hoke, Moore, Richmond, and Scotland Counties, North Carolina by Lorraine V. Aragon February, 2000 Cultural Resources Program Environmental and Natural Resources Division Public Works Business Center Fort Bragg, North Carolina Cover painting by Martin Pate, Newnan, Georgia. XVIII Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg, North Carolina Dedication and Acknowledgments This research project is dedicated to the kind Sandhills people who gave their time and cooperation to facilitate its accomplishment. It also is dedicated to their kin and ancestors: to all the remarkable individuals who ever lived or worked on the vast, beautiful, and difficult lands purchased by the United States Army to become Fort Bragg. The implementation of this oral history project would have never occurred without the support of Dr. Lucy A. Whalley of the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratories, and Wayne C.J. Boyko, Beverly A. Boyko, and William H. Kern of the Fort Bragg Cultural Resources Program. Excellent project assistance was provided by Beverly A. Boyko, W. Stacy Culpepper, and William H. Kern at Fort Bragg, and by Mark Cooke, Larry Clifton Skinner, and Elizabeth Eguez Grant at East Carolina University. I am further grateful to Charles L. Heath, Joseph M. Herbert, and Jeffrey D. Irwin of the Fort Bragg Cultural Resources Program for their input on logistical and historical data. Lorraine V. Aragon, Ph.D. East Carolina University i Abstract This project contributes to historical documentation of Fort Bragg lands through archival research and oral history interviews with descendants of early settlers of the area prior to its purchase by the United States Government. Approximately two hundred individuals of African, European, and Native American descent were contacted for information about their family ties to Fort Bragg lands. Of this total, twenty-four individuals were available and considered good potential sources of information about varied regions of the reservation or about families with diverse social histories. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and tape-recorded for detailed analysis. Interviewees were questioned about their genealogy, familial subsistence patterns, recollections about former building structures, aspects of social history, knowledge about cemeteries, and present ties to the Fort Bragg lands. A Transcription Summary was made of each taped interview to facilitate comparative analysis and aid future historical research. The interview Transcription Summaries and final report, which includes Brief Summaries of each interview, aim to assist future historical archaeology investigations of reservation lands as well as to contribute new data and perspectives to the general, multiethnic history of the Sandhills region. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS CAMP MACKALL & FORT BRAGG Historic Roads and Points of Interest ............. 1 INTRODUCTION AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND .......................................... 2 Introduction............................................................................................................................................2 Historic Physical Sites of Archaeological Concern................................................................................4 Native American Prehistory and Regional Group Disruptions ..............................................................5 Initial Settlement of the Fort Bragg Area by Highland Scots...............................................................10 Long Street, Sandy Grove, and Other Fort Bragg Churches ................................................................12 Pioneer Subsistence Patterns in the Sandhills ......................................................................................15 Pine Trees as Wealth: The Naval Stores Industry................................................................................17 African Americans: Enslaved and Free People of Color......................................................................19 Revolutionary War (1776-1783) in the Fort Bragg Area .....................................................................24 Antebellum Period (1783-1860) in the Fort Bragg Area......................................................................25 “War Between the States” (1861-1865) in the Fort Bragg Area ..........................................................26 Reconstruction and Subsequent Changes in the Fort Bragg Area ........................................................27 The Fort Bragg Purchase .....................................................................................................................28 RESEARCH METHODS ............................................................................................ 29 THE INTERVIEWS .................................................................................................... 31 General Overview ................................................................................................................................31 Brief Summaries of Individual Interviewees........................................................................................32 1.

    Where Have All the Indians Gone? Native American Eastern Seaboard Dispersal, Genealogy and DNA in Relation to Sir Walter Raleigh’S Lost Colony of Roanoke

    Where Have All the Indians Gone? Native American Eastern Seaboard Dispersal, Genealogy and DNA in Relation to Sir Walter Raleigh’s Lost Colony of Roanoke. Roberta Estes Copyright 2009, all rights reserved, submitted for publication [email protected] or [email protected] Abstract Within genealogy circles, family stories of Native American1 heritage exist in many families whose American ancestry is rooted in Colonial America and traverses Appalachia. The task of finding these ancestors either genealogically or using genetic genealogy is challenging. With the advent of DNA testing, surname and other special interest projects2, tools now exist to facilitate grouping participants in a way that allows one to view populations in historical fashions. This paper references and uses data from several of these public projects, but particularly the Melungeon, Lumbee, Waccamaw, North Carolina Roots and Lost Colony projects3. The Lumbee have long claimed descent from the Lost Colony via their oral history4. The Lumbee DNA Project shows significantly less Native American ancestry than would be expected with 96% European or African Y chromosomal DNA. The Melungeons, long held to be mixed European, African and Native show only one ancestral family with Native DNA5. Clearly more testing would be advantageous in all of these projects. This phenomenon is not limited to these groups, and has been reported by other researchers such as Bolnick (et al, 2006) where she reports finding in 16 Native American populations with northeast or southeast roots that 47% of the families who believe themselves to be full blooded or no less than 75% Native with no paternal European admixture find themselves carrying European or African y-line DNA.

    Glasgow, Sport and the Great War Glasgow’s Sporting Heritage 1914- 1918 Glasgow and the Great War Between 1914 and 1918, a relatively large number of Scots enlisted in the First World War – around 688,000. That war eventually claimed the lives of around 145,000 of them. Scotland's losses were, per capita, among the highest of any combatant nation, and the war's effects on the nation were profound and long-lasting. When war was declared on 4th August 1914, there was an immediate call for people to enlist in the armed forced and join the war effort. Glasgow’s men and women, just like many from the They came from every walk of big cities in Britain, responded with life – the shipyards, the factories, patriotic enthusiasm. the professional classes and of course from those who played and spectated in sports.

Image credit: Glasgow Herald Recruiting for War Great Britain declared war on Germany on the 4th August 1914. Cricket, Rugby, International football competitions and English football stopped almost immediately after the outbreak of the first World War. However the football league in Scotland continued with the 1914-1915 season. Most footballers were professionals and were tied to clubs through one-year contracts. Players could only join the armed forces if the clubs agreed to release them from their contracts. Above: Army recruitment handbill for the 7th Scottish Rifles (Cameronians).

    Register of Baptisms Sept 1838 to Mar 1848

    This index to the Register of Baptisms for St Nicholas parish in Aberdeen from September 1838 to March 1848 contains details of around 5,000 people. The information contained in this index shows the date of baptism, the name and occupation (where noted) of the father, the name of the mother, and name and sex of the child where it may not be immediately obvious. Further information in the Register includes the names of witnesses. The names have been transcribed as written, so some may not conform to modern spellings. A quirk of binding means that the book begins at page 55, with page 1 coming after page 352. This means there are two different pages numbered between 55 and 268, with different entries. In this index, please note the page number of the index as well as the page number of the entry - if the entry you are interested in is after page number 51, the entry will be in the second part of the volume.

Petherick Research Report No. 3 Research Laboratories of Anthropology The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill October, 1985 FINAL REPORT FIRST PHASE INVESTIGATIONS OF LATE ABORIGINAL SETTLEMENT SYSTEMS IN THE ENO, HAW, AND DAN RIVER DRAINAGES, NORTH CAROLINA by Daniel L. Simpkins with a contribution by Gary L. Petherick Roy S. Dickens, Jr. Principal Investigator Research Laboratories of Anthropology University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill October, 1985 Report prepared under a Survey and Planning Grant from the United States Department of the Interior and administered by the North Carolina Division of Archives and History. ABSTRACT Archaeological survey, analysis of curated collections, collector interviews, and ethnohistoric research in the Eno, Haw, and Dan River valleys of North Carolina have been conducted to provide data on and hypotheses about aboriginal intersite settlement system change under the influence of European intrusion and expansion. Data on settlement patterns for the Late Prehistoric period (1300-1525 A.D.) have been compiled and are compared with settlement patterns for succeeding intervals, extending as late in time as the archaeological and historic records allow. A total of 297 previously recorded and newly discovered sites having possible Late Prehistoric and Contact period aboriginal components is examined in terms of five functional types and six chronological periods. Sherds totaling 5,771 from 110 sites are grouped by surface treatment and are compared with a regional database of 25 assemblages from 17 sites.

Kerr Reservoir in southern Virginia and obtaining considerable ceramic and other artifactual remains from a number of sites in the area, I started to examine this material preparatory to writing a report of my results when a question arose regarding the origin of the pottery and the ethnic group to which it was attributed. The solu- tion of this question was not in the field of archeology, directly, but rather in the field of ethnology and linguistics. The recovered pottery assemblage was not recognized as that usually attributed to Siouan-speaking peoples, and since they were listed as the probable occupants of this section of Virginia it neces- sitated a perusal of the hterature dealing with this group—especially the Occaneechi, Saponi, and Tutelo—from the earliest incursions by whites up to the present day in order to see whether the solution could be found.

    Scottish Victoria Cross Awards Corporal William Anderson, VC, 2Nd Battalion, Yorkshire Regiment, Was Born at Dallas, Elgin on 28

    Scottish Victoria Cross Awards Corporal William Anderson, VC, 2nd Battalion, Yorkshire Regiment, was born at Dallas, Elgin on 28 December 1882. He was the second son of Alexander Anderson, a Labourer, and Isabella (Bella) Anderson, of 79 North Road, Forres, where he was educated at Forres Academy. His siblings were James, Margaret and Alexander. After working as a Conductor at Glasgow Tramways Depot, he moved to London then enlisted in the 2nd Battalion, Yorkshire Regiment on 20 September 1905, serving in India, Egypt and South Africa. His brother, James, served in the same regiment. He was discharged to the Reserve in 1912 and worked at Elder Hospital, Govan, saving money so that he and his fiancee could emigrate to South Africa. However, before they could leave war broke out and he was called up as a reservist. He was mobilised and sent to his old battalion in 1914, where he was known as 'Jock'. Now a Corporal, on 5 October 1914, he embarked for Flanders with the four Companies of the 2nd Battalion. Two weeks later they were taking part in the First Battle of Ypres and involved in some of the fiercest fighting. The regiment was being supplied with 96,000 rounds of ammunition each night. By the end of this engagement Corporal Anderson was in charge of a bombing unit. The aim of a bombing unit was to gain access to an enemy trench, from which they would throw grenades round a corner, immediately following up the explosion with an attack with bayoneting, Captain Rollo and Corporal Anderson bludgeoning, shooting, bombing or taking resting at Fleurbaix in 1914.
