Papers Exclusive Property of William Madison Randall Library at UNCW Transcriptions Done by Rebecca L Papers exclusive property of William Madison Randall Library at UNCW Transcriptions done by Rebecca L. Zimmer Edward Hall Armstrong son of Thomas J. Armstrong, owner of plantation in Rocky Point, NC student at University of North Carolina enlisted in Co. G, 3rd Regiment NC troops engaged at: Sharpsburg Seven Days Gettysburg Spotsylvania Court House (where he was mortally wounded) FOLDER 1 ITEM 1 Receipt of sale of slave named John for Eight hundred fourty dollars 1859 from J.L. Moore witnessed by George Morrow and William L. Moore FOLDER 2 ITEM 2 (school paper of EHA) “The Classification of Mental Phenomenon” Phenomenon is a term usually applied to things visible in nature, which have not been fully explained, and therefore require attention. Hence “Mental Phenomenon” refers to whatever is found to exist in the mind which demands the attention of the Philosopher. The powers of the mind are divided by Reid into the Understanding and will under which he includes, the contemplative powers, such as , judgement, reason, memory, perception, conception, sensation and taste; and the Will, which comprehends the active powers, as the passions, emotions, affections and all those powers which cause the mind to act. This division is objectionable on the ground that the distinction is not clear. Some of the powers as memory, judgement, perception +c are active and must be exercised in almost evry act of the Will, and the powers of the Will must also play some part in evry act of understanding and according to Reid’s own acknowledgement “The two powers concur in every operation of the mind.” There is another division of the powers into Intellect, Sensibility and Will, adopted by Hamilton, which seems to be the one usually preferred by most Philosophers. In this division Intellect comprehends the powers of perception, memory, judgement, reason, conception, and all the powers termed by Reid contemplative, except sensation, and moral faculties, which are assigned to Sensibility. The powers included under Intellect and Will are active, those under Sensibility are passive. The term faculty in its general acceptation is synonomous with power, but there is another meaning given by Hamilton which limits faculty to the powers which are natural and active, in distinction from those which are natural and passive, and called capacities. Operations are the name given to the various modes of thinking, of which the mind is capable, they are actual and distinguishable from faculties which are potential. States are according to some the modes or modification of the mind and are both active and passive. The objection to the definition above is that states are strictly passive. The Faculties as they are powers of the mind do not seem to be distinct from it, but they are as we will see by comparing them distinct from each other for instance memory and judgement, are both faculties but are yet very different. It is plain as we will see by observing that all the powers, concur in each operation, because we can think of no power that is exercised seperate from all the others, as an example, in sensation, the is an exercise of perception, in conception of sensation. Consciousness is a general faculty which is, in its restricted sense, the knowledge, which the mind has of itself, and its operations, but in its more extended sense it includes what it knows by means of the other faculties. It gives us a Knowledge of our Personal Identity; but it is not, as some say Personal Identity itself. 1861 FOLDER 3 ITEM 3 Chapel Hill Apr 16 th 61 Dear Pa We have been in a fever of excitement here, since we learned that Fort Sumpter had been attacked. Evry new arrival brings further news and when the mail arrives evry one is striving to be first in the Office. We have heard with considerable pleasure that Fort Sumpter has at last been captured, with no loss whatever to the Southern army. This is truly a glorious result for the first Battle and I do truly hope that victory may perch on the same banners in evry succeeding strugle. To day I read Lincoln’s Proclamation, he calls for troops from all the states that have not yet gone out of the Union. We must fight; there is nothing else left us, but to decide on which side we will fight; North Carolina must now go out of the Union. We learned by this evenings mail that some of the Wilmington companies had gone to take Fort Caswell and that others were constructing batteries at Federal Point which commands New Inlet and all this by order of the Gov. Report said that The Orange Light Infantry were ordered to go down and take the Arsenal but it is contradicted. I understand that the Arsenal has been taken already. Taking all these things into consideration, I think my college course is neccessarily near an end, especially as Lincoln has ordered out 75:000 troops from all the states. Latin + Greek will be of very little benefit in war and I think that it is unbecoming me as a citizen of New Hanover to remain at college while the other young men are at the Forts and exposing thereselves on Federal Point, to the hardships of military life I feel that it is my duty to give up college and come home, go to Federal Point and form a company and prepare myself for the worst. If the war should soon close, I can easily enter my class again next session, and go through and get my diploma but if it should not; what I should learn from now until I am called away will be of no benefit to me. The excitement is so intense that I am unable to study. Write soon and notice particularly what I said as regards leaving college. Your Son E.H. Armstrong FOLDER 4 ITEM 4 Chapel Hill Apr 18 th 1861 Dear Pa Having been awaiting anxiously a letter from you for some days and not receiving one I have at last determined to write again. The Excitement here is intense. The mails are anxiously looked for and evry one seems excited at the news constantly coming in. We heard the other day as I told you in my last that the Wilmington Companies were all on duty. Since that we have heard that all the Forts in the State are occupied. News came to day that the Southern Confederacy had furnished Guns and 20:000lbs of powder for Fort Caswell and Federal Point, and that a demand for 2000 men had been made by the Wilmingtonians or Gov. Ellis. Is it possible that New Hanover has to ask for men? What are the country people doing? Ought we to be here while men are going from other parts of the state to defend our home? I think not. I see by to day’s paper that Gov Ellis and also the Kentucky Gov. refuse to aid Lincoln and have informed him that he can get no troops in either of these states. Gov Hicks of Maryland has proved traitor to the South and informed Lincoln that he will furnish his quota of troops. Gen. Scott has resigned his commission and offered his services to the state of Virginia. Virginia has seceded. What will N.C. do now? The Orange Light Infantry (of this place) will be ordered off tomorrow or next day to Fort Macon. The Orange Guards of Hillsboro are ordered to the Arsenal. There was a Secession Flag raised to day at Hillsboro. The ladies of the place raised it and Miss Anita Nash made a speach on the occasion. Hurrah for the daughters of N.C. Would that the men were as zealous as they. Please write and tell me all the news. If my services are needed (and I suppose they are as they have not men enough to occupy all the posts) do not hesitate one moment to call me home but write immediately and I shall be ready to perform any duty assigned me. You are too old to go and our family ought at least to have one representative in the army. A diploma even if I could stay long enough to get one (though I have no idea that I can) would not be acceptable if I knew I had neglected my duty to my country to get it ... Every Southerner ought to be drilling daily and on military duty in order to prepare himself for Lincoln and his hordes. my services? No never I must yeild to the call of duty and proceed some to the scene of carnage. There was a talk to day of calling for volunteers at the flag raising to go to Reaswell or the Point if that call had been made I should now have been packing up my clothes +c (to leave here 11 o’clock to night) instead of writing to you at the present time. If much more war news comes you need not be surprised to see me at home at any moment. I would wish your permission but if I should not have time to get it: you can not blame me. I think I am old enough to take upon myself any responsibility. I shall soon be of age. I ought to be able to know my duty now as I will be then, nevertheless I wish to consult you, and if I were forty years of age instead of twenty I should do the same. “Honor your parents” is one commandment of the ten which I do not remember ever to have broken.

  • Maddeson Generations
    Maddeson Lines - First Generation -------------------------------------------------- 1. Isaac Maddeson. Born in 1590 in London, England (historically Scotland). Isaac died in West Sherlow, Virginia, in 1624; he was 34. A descendant of Edward I of England. Encyclopedia of Virginia biography, under the editorial supervision of Lyon Tyler. (edited by Lyon Gardiner Tyler) Isaac Maddeson, came to Virginia in 1608, only a year after the founding of Jamestown, and was employed in exploring the country and probably in making maps, etc. He went to England in 1620 and while there, on July 10, 1621, the Virginia Company, in recognition of his services in the colony, presented him with two shares in the company. He seems to have returned to Virginia shortly, for immediately after the massacre of 1622, we find him actively employed against the Indians and becoming one of the best known soldiers of the colony. About the first of July, 1622, the governor sent Capt. Isaac Maddeson with thirty odd men to the Patomac, where it was thought corn could be purchased from the friendly Indians and a possible alliance with them be formed against the hostile tribes. Maddeson conducted the affair very badly, and, notwithstanding orders to the contrary was soon at odds with the well-disposed savages. He was led into this by tales of a conspiracy on the part of the Indians, which though quite unfounded, moved him into an indefensible treachery against them whereby he captured the chief and his son and killed many of their unfortunate tribesmen. The captives were finally ransomed for a quantity of corn.

  • William Preston and the Revolutionary Settlement
    Journal of Backcountry Studies EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the third and last installment of the author’s 1990 University of Maryland dissertation, directed by Professor Emory Evans, to be republished in JBS. Dr. Osborn is President of Pacific Union College. William Preston and the Revolutionary Settlement BY RICHARD OSBORN Patriot (1775-1778) Revolutions ultimately conclude with a large scale resolution in the major political, social, and economic issues raised by the upheaval. During the final two years of the American Revolution, William Preston struggled to anticipate and participate in the emerging American regime. For Preston, the American Revolution involved two challenges--Indians and Loyalists. The outcome of his struggles with both groups would help determine the results of the Revolution in Virginia. If Preston could keep the various Indian tribes subdued with minimal help from the rest of Virginia, then more Virginians would be free to join the American armies fighting the English. But if he was unsuccessful, Virginia would have to divert resources and manpower away from the broader colonial effort to its own protection. The other challenge represented an internal one. A large number of Loyalist neighbors continually tested Preston's abilities to forge a unified government on the frontier which could, in turn, challenge the Indians effectivel y and the British, if they brought the war to Virginia. In these struggles, he even had to prove he was a Patriot. Preston clearly placed his allegiance with the revolutionary movement when he joined with other freeholders from Fincastle County on January 20, 1775 to organize their local county committee in response to requests by the Continental Congress that such committees be established.
