 CADWALLADER JONES 
 
 1899 
 
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 papers 
 at the time of his death : 
 
 "Columbia, S. C, December i, 1899. 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 
 
 \ 
 
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, Mrs. 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 honorary 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 'Mt. Gallant,' the home of Col. Jones' great- 
 grand-father. Gen. Allen Jones, in eastern North Caro- 
 lina ; one from the gardens 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 than 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 18 12, 
 
 VI 
 
and his grand-father in the Revohition. * * * The 
 greater part of his life in South Carohna 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 
 
 We ought to keep before us the memory of our fathers. 
 To this end it seems proper that I, the oldest hving 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 with 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, two 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, 181 1, 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 for 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 Wales 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, member 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

 Robert or Robin Jones

between him and the King that he should have about one- 
 half of the State of North 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 Crown 
 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 i, 
 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 
 
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., lo August, 1781, Benjamin Wil- 
 liams, Governor 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 the 
 first respectability, and numbering now one of the largest 
 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

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 liberty and their heroism to 
 maintain it. 
 
 Robert Cobb, son of Isaac, m. 9th February, 1712, 
 "Rebecca, daughter of William Pinkithman (Virginia His- 
 torical Magazine). 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, daughter of Daniel Allen, rector of the Episcopal 
 Church and had two daughters, Sarah, who m. Robin 
 Jones above mentioned, and Martha, who m. Dudley 
 Richardson. Elizabeth survived Robert Cobb and m. 
 Samuel Weldon, of Henrico County, Va. His son Sam- 
 uel Weld on was delegate to the Convention of 1776, and 
 his son Daniel was Commissioner to run the boundary 
 line of North Carolina. The town of Weldon was 
 named for this family. 
 
 Little is known of Robert Cobb or William Pinkithman. 
 Bishop Meade mentions them as vestrymen of old Benton 
 Church, in the early part of the last century. The law 
 required in colonial times that "the most able and discrete 
 persons" should be chosen vestrymen. The entry of the 
 marriage of Robert Cobb, 9th February, 171 2, appears in 
 his father's Bible printed in 1696. The name Isaac Cobb 
 is" written in it 1703. 
 
 Robert or Robin Jones and wife, Sarah Cobb, had two 
 sons, Allen and Willie, and one daughter, Martha. While 
 studying law in London, Robin had become known to 
 Lord Granville, who owned large possessions in the colo- 
 nies. He now sent his sons, Allen and Willie, to Eton 
 College to be educated, and they were put under the 
 charge of Lord Granville. These two brothers became 
 planters, owning large estates on the Roanoke. 
 
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 liveci he would make them proud of it. Thus, 
 John Paul became Paul Jones — it was his fancy. He 
 named his ship the Bon Homme 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 oldest 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-

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, Perron 
 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 
 
brother Willie in 1780. On the 21st July, 1788, a con- 
 vention composed of the ablest men of the State met at 
 Hillsboro to consider the Federal Constitution. 
 
 On the third day of the session, President Samuel 
 Johnstone, then Governor, laid before the convention an 
 official copy of the Constitution. Willie Jones at once 
 moved that the question on the Constitution be taken 
 without debate and be put immediately, saying he had 
 read the document and had made up his mind and was 
 prepared to vote, and he supposed every other gentleman 
 had done the same. Iredell, Davie and Samuel John- 
 stone opposed the motion with great force. He was 
 finally induced to withdraw the motion, and a protracted 
 debate followed, but "the learning of Iredell, the elo- 
 quence of Davie and intellectual power of Johnstone" was 
 of no avail. The Constitution, under the leadership of 
 Willie Jones — illustrious tribune of the people — was 
 rejected by a vote of 184 to 84. He was ably supported 
 by Gen. McDowell, Judge Spencer and Rev. David Cald- 
 well. By the action of the convention the State remained 
 out of the Union until November, 1789, when the Con- 
 stitution was adopted at Fayetteville. 
 
 In 1787, Willie Jones was elected delegate to the con- 
 vention at Philadelphia, which formed the Constitution of 
 the United 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 1 2th 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.

State records 1776-90, pp. XII., XIV., show that 
 the convention in the fall of 1776 sent a brigade to South 
 Carolina, under command of Gen. Allen Jones. They 
 were embodied September 10, 1776, and were to go out of 
 service September 10, 1777. This brigade was for de- 
 fense of Charleston, then threatened with another attack. 
 On reaching Camden, it was found that the design had 
 been abandoned, so the brigade returned home after three 
 months' service. His brigade was in the battle of Guil- 
 ford commanded by Gen. Thomas Eaton, Gen. Jones 
 being unable to be present from sickness.

 His first wife was Anna Bland, daughter of Theo- 
 doric Bland and wife, Frances Boiling, a descendant 
 of Pocahontas. 
 
 THE HAYNES FAMILY 
 
 This was an old English family of distinction. The 
 first ancestor known to us was Thomas Haynes, born early 
 in the 17th century, died 19th May, 1718. His son 
 Thomas Haynes, Jr., born in London, 1686, in. 26. Febru- 
 ary, 1708, Martha Jones, daughter of Herbert and Eliza- 
 beth Jones. They were of the Parish of St. Dunstan, 
 Stepney, in the church yard of which the family are 
 buried. In the aisles of Stepney Church St. Dunstans, 
 are stone tablets in memory of the Haynes, much worn 
 
 9 
 
and defaced by time. 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 Botetort, Va., from them the family here are de- 
 scended. 
 
 Thomas Haynes, Jr., and wife Martha, of Roanoke, 
 had issue ten children : 
 
 I. Herbert, b. 1709. 
 
 II. Anthony, b. 171 1, ;//. Jane Eaton; they had one son, 
 
 Baton, delegate from Northampton County to Con- 
 gress, 1776. 
 V. Andrew, b. 1718, m. Anne Eaton, 1745, sister of Jane 
 and Gen. Thomas Eaton, and of Mary Eaton, second 
 wife of Robin Jones. This Andrew Haynes and 
 wife Anne had issue : 
 
 1. Anthony. 
 
 2. Thomas, b. 1749, m. Frances Stith, daughter 
 of William and Katherine Stith. 
 
 3. Mary, m. Maj. John Daves of the Continental 
 Army ; &. 1751. Their son John Pugh Daves, b. 
 1789, m. Elizabeth B. Graham, of New Bern, 
 1830, and were the parents of Maj. Graham 
 Daves, of New Bern, N. C. 
 
 VIII. Mary, b. 1725, m. Gen. Allen Jones, as above men- 
 tioned. 
 
 Gen. Thomas Eaton m. 2d, Mary, daughter of Gen. 
 Allen Jones, b. March 30, 1766, and had issue Mary Allen, 
 who m. her cousin Eaton Pugh, son of Rev. John Pugh 
 and wife Anne Eaton Haynes, her 2d husband. These 
 Eatons were children of William Eaton and wife Mary 
 Rives, of Granville, N. C. 
 
 Jane Eaton, wife of Anthony Haynes, survived her hus- 
 band and married Col. Nathaniel Edwards, of Brunswick 
 County, Va., Burgess from that county and Deputy Sec- 
 
 10 
 
retary of the Colony 1770. Their daughter, Rebecca Ed- 
 wards, married Gen. Allen Jones, 3d September, 1768, his 
 2d wife. They had one child, Rebecca Edwards, who m. 
 Lunsford Long. 
 
 THE EDWARDS FAMILY 
 
 John Edwards, of Brunswick County, Va., died 1713. 
 From his will it appears he had sons, John, William, Na- 
 thaniel and Benjamin; daughters, Mary and Sarah, to 
 whom he left his estate with legacies to his cousins, 
 Thomas, William and John Edwards. 
 
 Col. Nathaniel Edzvards died 1771, leaving his widow 
 Jane and sons, Isaac and William; daughters, Mrs. Mary 
 Ridley, Mrs. Elizabeth Willis, Mrs. Rebecca Jones and 
 Anne and Sarah Edzvards. He gave legacies to his wife's 
 children by her ist husband, Anthony Haynes — all of 
 which appears from his will, proven 22d July, 1771. 
 
 Hon. Weldon N. Edwards, M. 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 Edzvards 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. 1 196). 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 m. Mary Cornell, daughter of 
 Samuel Cornell, member of Tryon's Council and a Royal- 
 ist. Cornell moved to New York, where he left many 
 descendants, among them the LeRoys, Clarksons and 
 Bayards of that State. Isaac Edwards and wife Mary 
 
 11 
 
had two daughters, Susan, who in. Wm. Wallace, and Re- 
 becca, who Jii. David A. Ogden, of New York. Their 
 daughter Sarah m. Charles R. Codman, of Massachusetts. 
 Suky Cornell, daughter of Samuel Cornell, in. a LeRoy ; 
 their daughter was 2d wife of Daniel Webster. In 
 McRee's Life of Iredell it is said: "Sir Alex. Duckinfield 
 in a letter to Judge Iredell says, 'How is Miss Suky Cor- 
 nell? I saw Mrs. Gilchrist (Martha Jones) in Liverpool, 
 who told me that her brother Willie Jones had paid his 
 addresses to her, but her father had said he never would 
 consent to his daughter's marriage with any person who 
 would risque a fortune on a horse race ; upon which he 
 very properly and spiritedly declined any further solicita- 
 tion, saying, as it was his favorite amusement, he would 
 not be under any engagement to release it before mar- 
 riage, but if it had afterwards happened that his wife 
 should wish it as a favor, he would submit to anything for 
 her satisfaction.' " 
 
 Willie Jones m. 1776, Mary Mumford, daughter of 
 Joseph Mumford, of Virginia, and wife Priscilla Hill. 
 This Joseph was son of Robert Mumford and wife Anne, 
 daughter of Richard Bland. A tradition in the family is, 
 that the name was Montford and the blood that of the 
 Earl of Leicester. Priscilla Hill was daughter of Col. 
 Ben Hill, of Bertie, h. 1697, Burgess for Bertie, 1737; he 
 was distinguished as a leader in the contest between Al- 
 bemarle and Bath Counties. Col. Hill had three daugh- 
 ters : 
 
 1. Sarah, ni. Alex. McCullock. 
 
 2. Priscilla, in. Joseph Munton. 
 
 3. Mary, ni. Hon. John Campbell. Elizabeth, sister of 
 Mrs. Willie Jones, in. John Baptista Ashe, h. 1748, son 
 of Gov. Samuel Ashe.

 John W. Eppes was a distinguished member of Con- 
 gress from the Buckingham District. 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. 
 
 Col. Nicholas 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 
 "Ouanky," near that old borough, had more than a State 
 reputation ; it was headquarters in military affairs. When 
 Gen. Washington visited the Carolinas, he and his stafif 
 stopped with Col. Long for several days. He came to 
 North Carolina about 1750 from eastern Virginia; was 
 probably a son of Gabriel Long. He m. ist, Mary Rey- 
 nolds, of Virginia. They had two children; ist, Gabriel, 
 who was great-grand-father of Dr. Geo. G. Thomas, of 
 Wilmington ; 2d, Anne, who m. Wm. Martin, of Halifax. 
 They had, among other children, Susan, who m. Kemp 
 Plummer, of Warren County, member of Assembly 1794, 
 Senator 1815. Their daughter, Lucy, m. Wm. H. Battle, 
 Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of North Caro- 
 lina. His son, Kemp Plummer Battle, was formerly 
 President of University of North Carolina. 
 
 IVilliam Martin, the 2d, in. Betsey Macon, daughter of 
 the Hon. Nathaniel Macon, and had three sons, William, 
 Nat. and Robert. 
 
 Hon. Nat. Macon m. Hannah Plummer, sister of Kemp 
 Plummer. 
 
 Col. Nicholas Long m. 2d., Mary McKinnie, 24 August, 
 1761, daughter of John McKinnie. It appears from a 
 deed, dated 175 1, that he liad four children, Barnaby, 
 Mary, Patience and Martha (North Carolina Records, 
 vol. IV.) 
 
 There were two Barnaby McKinnies, one a member of 
 General Assembly of North Carolina from Edgecombe, 
 1735, living in Halifax, then a part of the county. There 
 
 14 
 
was confided to Mrs. Long a girl named Sarah Richmond, 
 daughter of Wm. Richmond, brother-in-law of Sir Pey- 
 ton Skipwith. What claim he had on Col. Long or his 
 wife we do not know. Richmond was an Englishman ; he 
 and his wife died in eastern Virginia. This Sarah Rich- 
 mond 111. Gabriel Long, son of Col. Nicholas Long. 
 
 Mrs. Ellet, in her "Women of the Revolution," says: 
 "The tone of public opinion in Halifax and its neighbor- 
 hood was affected in no slight degree by three women, 
 who were rendered prominent by the positions of their 
 husbands, and by their own talents and example. These 
 women were Mrs. Willie Jones, Mrs. Allen Jones, and 
 Mrs. Nicholas Long. Their husbands were men of culti- 
 vated minds and wealth, and high consideration, having 
 great influence in public councils, and being zealously de- 
 voted to the achievement of independence. The import- 
 ance of the principles for which they contended was vin- 
 dicated not less imperiously by the conversation and 
 patriotic zeal of their wives, than by their own efforts in 
 more striking appeals. Col. Nicholas Long was com- 
 missary general of all the forces raised in North Carolina, 
 and superintended the preparation in work shops (erected 
 on his own premises) of implements of war and clothing 
 for the soldiers. His wife was a most efficient co-opera- 
 tor in this business. She possessed great energy and 
 firmness, with mental power of no common order. Her 
 praises were the theme of conversation among the old 
 officers of the army as long as any were left who had 
 known her. She died at about 80 years of age, leaving 
 numerous offspring. Her maiden name was McKinnie." 
 
 "Mrs. Allen Jones was Miss Bdivards, sister of Isaac 
 Edwards, the English Secretary of Gov. Tryon. She had 
 the reputation of being the most accomplished woman of 
 her day, and was remarkable for the elegance and taste 
 shown in all her domestic arrangements. She died shortly 
 
 15 
 
after the Revolution, leaving an only daughter, Rebecca 
 Edwards, who m. Lunsford Long, son of Nicholas Long." 
 She was known as the Indian Queen, on account of her 
 great beauty ; was particularly remarkable for the beauty 
 of her foot and high instep. There is a punch-bowl in the 
 museum at Washington's headquarters at Morristown, N. 
 J., in a prominent place with this card on it : "A punch- 
 bowl owned by Gen. George Washington. It was given 
 by him to Mrs. Allen Jones of North Carolina. It was 
 highly prized by him and preserved in the family for four 
 generations — it was cracked when hiding it from Tarle- 
 ton's men." There are also at the same headquarters two 
 vases, marked: "Presented to his friend, Maj. Cadwalla- 
 der Jones, by Gen. Lafayette." 
 
 When the army of Cornwallis passed through Halifax 
 to Virginia his officers quartered for some days in the 
 town. Col. Tarlton was at "The Grove ;" he had been 
 wounded in the hand at Cowpens by a sabre cut by Col. 
 William Washington. Speaking of Col. Washington, 
 Tarlton said he was an illiterate, ignorant fellow, hardly 
 able to write his name. "Ah, Colonel," said Mrs. Jones, 
 "you ought to know better, for you bear upon your person 
 proof that he knows very well how to make his mark." 
 On another occasion, to her sister, Mrs. Ashe, at whose 
 house Leslie was quartered, Tarlton indulged in the same 
 sarcasm, saying he would be happy to see Col. Washing- 
 ton, for he had understood he was diminutive and un- 
 gainly in person. To which Mrs. Ashe replied : "If you 
 had looked behind you. Col. Tarlton, at the battle of Cow- 
 pens you would have enjoyed that pleasure." Tarlton in- 
 voluntarily, under the excitement of the thrust, put his 
 hand on his sword. At the moment Col. Leslie came in, 
 observing Tarlton's excitement, asked the cause, which 
 being explained, he said : "Say what you please, Mrs. 
 Ashe, Col. Tarlton knows better than to insult a lady in 
 
 16 
 
tny presence." Of Mrs. Long there is a story that she 
 went to Tarlton, and demanded, m no uncertain way, the 
 return of her riding horse, taken by an officer of his staff. 
 She so impressed the old, rough soldier that he had the 
 horse returned and protection granted her and her hus- 
 band. She survived her husband many years ; they are 
 buried at "Quanky." 
 
 I. Nicholas Long, a gallant soldier in the Revolution, was 
 in the battles of Camden, Cowpens, and Yorktown. 
 He and Maj. Hogg had the celebrated race after 
 Tarlton with Col. Wm. Washington. It is related of 
 him that two British cavalrymen pursued him. He 
 wheeled and sought safety in flight ; they opened fire 
 and in their hot pursuit separated. Observing this 
 he suddenly turned and dispatched both with his 
 sabre in detail. He married Rebecca Hill in 1788 
 and moved to Georgia, 
 n. Mary Long, m. Bassett Stith, of Virginia, 8th Janu- 
 ary, 1790. McKee, in his Life of Judge Iredell, 
 says: "Thomas Iredell visited Halifax July, 1790. A 
 letter from him gives a characteristic account of the 
 gay and opulent borough. The 'divine Miss Polly 
 Long' had just been married to Bassett Stith, a Vir- 
 ginia beau. The nuptials were celebrated by twenty- 
 two consecutive dinner parties in as many different 
 houses; the dinners being regularly succeeded by 
 dances, and all terminated by a grand ball. Miss 
 Wallace, an heiress, Miss Hooper and Miss Lucas 
 were the belles of the occasion." They had seven 
 children : 
 
 1. Maria Stith, m. Joseph I. Daniel, Associate Jus- 
 tice Supreme Court. 
 
 2. Martha, m. Hon. John Reeves Jones Daniel, At- 
 torney General and M. C. 1841 to 185 1. He

 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 ist 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 descent. 
 They are of very ancient lineage, tracing the family back 
 to Fulbert, A. D. 1075. Petrius, the son of Fulbert, as- 
 sumed as a surname (which at this time, 11 53, 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. He was an 
 officer in Cromwell's army and was married to Madaline 
 
 20 
 
Jasker. They settled in Somerset County, Md., 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. When 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, 
 1769. He was 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 Mecklenburg 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. 
 Win. Polk, of Raleigh, N. C, was born in Mecklenburg, 
 9th July, 1758. He entered the service at the age of 16, 
 and was appointed Major of the 9th Regiment North 
 Carolina Continental Battalion, November, 1776, when 18 
 years of age. At one time he followed the fortunes of 
 Marion and Sumter, and was aide to Caswell at Camden. 
 He was distinguished for gallantry throughout the war. 
 At 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 1 791. Was 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 ist, Griselda, daughter of Thomas Gil- 
 christ and wife, Martha Jones. They had two sons, Gen. 
 Thomas Gilchrist Polk and Dr. William Jtmius Polk. 
 Gen. Thomas G. Polk m. Mary Trotter, of Salisbury, and 
 had among other children Jane, who m. Dr. Bochell, and 
 Mary, who m. Hon. George Davis, United States Senator. 
 Gen. Polk frequently represented Mecklenburg County 
 in the Senate. 
 
 Dr. William J. Polk, born at Charlotte, N. C, ist June, 
 1793, m. 1st June, 1818, his cousin, Mary R. A. Long, b. 
 loth March 1797, daughter of Lunsford Long and wife, 
 Rebecca Edwards Jones.

 mon Hawkins, and had issue :

 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! Why, 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 Erskin Polk, brother of Col. Thomas Polk. He 
 left no issue. 
 
 Dr. William J. Polk and wife, Mary R. A. Long, had 
 issue : 
 
 I. Griselda Gilchrist, b. at "Mt. Gallant," 8 March, 
 1819. 
 
 H. Allen J., b. 5 March, 1824. 
 
 HI. Thomas G., b. 5 December, 1825. 
 
 IV. Mary Jones, b. 28 November, 1830. 
 
 V. Lucius Eugene, b. 10 July, 1833. 
 
 VI. Cadivallader Jones, b. 10 October, 1839. 
 VIT. Rufits, b. 30 July, 1843. 
 
 These five brothers all served with distinction in the 
 Confederate Army. When General Buel passed through 
 Columbia, Tenn., he offered protection to Mrs. Polk, their 
 mother, but with spirit and bravery she declined it, saying, 
 "My sons are in the Confederate Army, I cannot accept 
 Federal protection." This gallant mother was well rep- 
 resented in the army as follows by her sons : 
 
 II. Allen Jones, aide to Bishop Polk. 
 
 23 
 
III. Thomas G., aide to General Tappans. 
 
 V. Lucius Eugene ; he entered the service as a private, 
 rose to be a Brigadier General, one of the youngest in the 
 service. He commanded a division of Cleburn's Corps at 
 Chickamauga. The honors of victory at this battle were 
 very much due to his gallantry and military genius. At 
 Ringold Gap he repulsed with great slaughter the heroes 
 of Lookout Mountain. At Kenesaw Mountain his leg 
 was broken, being the last of many wounds received. 
 Maj. Gen. Pat. Cleburn, in his report of Chickamauga, 
 says: "I have already called attention to the gallant con- 
 duct of General h. E. Polk, but it is due to him and the 
 country which wishes to appreciate its faithful servants to 
 say, that to the intrepidity and stern determination of pur- 
 pose of himself and men I was principally indebted for 
 the success of the charge on Sunday, which drove the 
 enemy from their breastworks and gave us the victory." 
 
 VL Cadwallader Jones rose to be Colonel. He was 
 with Jackson the first year of the war, was afterwards in 
 the Western Army. He was in many battles and always 
 gallant. At Prairie Grove he was shot, and left for dead 
 on the field. 
 
 Vn. Rufus, the youngest brother, was in the Western 
 Army and rose to be Captain.

 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, ist April, 1635, returned to 
 London, 1644, to negotiate for Narraganset. He was 
 associated with Roger Williams at Salem, and embraced 
 with him extreme Puritan views. It appears from the 
 "Massachusetts Records" that he was fined 100 marks for 
 speaking contemptuously of the magistrates, and was 
 again fined £20 and forbidden the jurisdiction on pain of 
 fine and imprisonment. Roger Williams 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 171 1 petitioned Gov. Spots wood for protection against 
 the Indians. 
 
 He was murdered by the Tuscaroras 1713, leaving a 
 son, Farnifold, who died 1759, leaving three sons, James, 
 John and Joseph. Among the sons of James was James 
 
 28 
 
Green, Jr., who was Clerk of the Colonial Congress for 
 several years; he ///. 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 1788. 
 
 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, James IV., who m. 
 Martha Cobb, daughter of Gen. Allen Jones, and had 
 issue, one son, Maj. Allot J. Green. This James W. 
 Green, a Continental officer in the North Carolina line ; 
 was Surgeon's Mate, 16 June, 1778, promoted Sur- 
 geon, December, 1779; was with Continentals at Charles- 
 ton, 1780, and made prisoner at the surrender of 
 that city, 12 August, 1780; was exchanged 14 June, 1781. 
 6th February, 1782, he was Surgeon of the ist North 
 Carolina Continentals, and in the "Washington 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 
 Magazine," May, 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." 
 
 Maj. 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 great poet, and of Gil Bias 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 Maj. 
 Cadwallader Jones and wife Mary Pride, of Virginia. 
 This intermarriage united the tw^o 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,

 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 ofif instantly. "You 
 see," said Mrs. Sitgreaves, "we have them well trained." 
 "Yes," said Davie, "and if he had said, 'Mrs. Sitgreaves, 
 it is time to retire, you zvould have marched, also.' " 
 
 Ancestrai. Line of the CadwaIvLader 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 
 I ith 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 Cadzvallader ; 
 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 1698. This Jones, who was engaged in trade with 
 the West India Islands, was constantly on the sea, and 
 died in one of his voyages, unmarried. He had a brother, 
 Robert Jones. They were sons of John ap Thomas, of 
 Wales. Gen. John Cadwallader married a daughter of 
 Edward Jones, of Wales, who was a connection of John 
 ap Thomas." 
 
 We do not know what connection this Cadwallader 
 Jones was to our family, but believe it to be intimate, and 
 that he was the first owner of my old sword, hereafter to 
 be mentioned. We trace this line of the family to Richard 
 Jones, who lived in the latter part of the 17th century; 
 beyond him the ancestral line can only be traced by their 
 arms. The armorial bearings of this family are the 
 same as those of Jones or Johns, of Gothkenan, County 
 of Denby, Wales (Burke's Heraldry). "Per bend sinis- 
 ter ermine ermines, a lion rampant within a bordure 
 engrailed, or. Crest., a lion's head erased, per pale, ar. and 
 sa." 
 
 This coat of arms ages ago was quartered on that of one 
 of the Welsh kings, and was the arms of his mother. 
 They are engraved upon the hilt of a sword now in my 
 possession, which descended to my grand-father, Maj. 
 Cadwallader Jones, from his Welsh ancestors ; the hilt 
 has no crest — they were not used, I am informed, until 
 the time of Edward III. The devices on the hilt, to wit : 
 
 35 
 
the helmet, the halberd, garter, javelin and battle-axe, 
 show its antiquity. It is marked C. J., denoting the first 
 owner. 
 
 We turn now to known ancestors, and trace the direct 
 pedigree of this line to Richard Jones. He was of Welsh 
 extraction, in. Lady Jefifries, of the manor of Ley, and 
 settled in Devonshire, England ; had been a merchant of 
 London. They had five sons, Cadiuallader, William, 
 Richard, Abram, and Frederick. 
 
 The four first came to Virginia at an early period of the 
 settlement of that colony, leaving Frederick, the young-, 
 est, with his parents in England. Cadwallader, the eld- 
 est, and, as such, heir to the Lordship and manor, sold 
 his inheritance to Sir Robert Knights, Alderman of Lon- 
 don, by deed dated Rappahanock City, 1681 (Virginia 
 Historical Magazine). He was Lieutenant-Colonel of 
 Stafford's Militia, 1680; Governor of New Province, in 
 the Bahamas, 1689-92. He left one son, Frederick. 
 While Governor in the Bahamas, grave charges were 
 made against him, and he was recalled, 1692. Nicholas 
 Trott was appointed in his place. He remained Governor 
 until 1697. Similar charges were made against him, 
 causing his removal ; he was a man of great legal ability, 
 was Attorney General of South Carolina 1698, and Chief 
 Justice 1712. 
 
 Abram Jones, who died prior to 1689 (Henrico 
 papers), was the next ancestor. He had, among other 
 children, Thomas, Maj. Peter, and Abram. This Abram, 
 the next ancestor, had Capt. Peter Jones, who m. his 
 cousin Mary, daughter of Maj. Peter Jones and wife, 
 Mary Wood, daughter of Gen. Abram Wood (Henrico 
 papers). Deed 1697, from Peter Jones, son of Abram 
 Jones ; also power of attorney from Mary, wife of Peter 
 Jones. Issue :

 3. Nancy, m. Thomas Brodnax, of Virginia. 
 
 4. Sarah, m. Wm. E. Brodnax, of Virginia. 
 
 5. Martha, m. Augustine Claiborne. They had 
 one son, Cadzvallader, who moved to Tennessee, 
 and died 1796. 
 
 Before proceeding with the pedigree, we will say a 
 word of the men just mentioned. Gen. Abram Wood 
 was an important man in his day; he represented Appa- 
 matuche County, as it was then called, i644-'45-'46 and 
 '56, and was one of the State Council, 1637. Wood 
 Church, near Petersburg, was named for him and is older 
 than old Blandford. 
 
 In the I7tli century, about 1675, Maj. Peter Jones was 
 appointed Captain of a company organized for defence 
 against the Indians ; he was stationed at Fort Henry, on 
 the land on which Petersburg now stands, which was then 
 owned by Gen. Abram Wood. It appears that the city 
 was named for this Maj. Peter Jones ; he died 1728. The 
 city was founded by Capt. Peter Jones and his cousins, 
 Abram and Thomas Jones, son^, respectively, of Maj. 
 Peter and Thomas Jones. The three founders of the 
 city were all grand-sons of Gen. Wood. This Thomas 
 Jones m. Margaret, daughter of Gen. Wood ; in 1663 she 
 m. Thomas Cocke, of Malvern Hill. ' 
 
 Col. William Byrd gives a spirited account of his 
 famous journey to the "Land of Eden" in 1733. He 
 says: "The company met for breakfast at Maj. Mum- 
 ford's ; it consisted of seventeen men — of these, three 
 
 37 
 
were Indians, and three negroes — twenty horses and two 
 dogs. Among the men, he says, were Maj. Mumford, 
 Maj. Mayo, Capt. Peter Jones and Robert BolHng, all 
 well-known citizens and able foresters. After the Major 
 had cleared his pipes, he made a shift to truss up his 
 baggage about 9 o'clock. Near the same hour, my old 
 friend and fellow-traveler, Peter Jones, came to us com- 
 pletely accoutred. Then we fortified ourselves with a 
 beefsteak, kissed our landlady for good luck, and mounted, 
 about 10 o'clock. Tom Short had promised to attend us, 
 but had married a wife and could not come. We crossed 
 Thatcher's Run. Grantly Run, Stony Creek, and in twenty 
 miles reached Sappony Chapel, where Mr. Bannister 
 joined us. Thus agreeably reinforced, we proceeded ten 
 miles further to Maj. Embrey's, on the south side of Not- 
 toway. The Major was ill of a purging and vomiting, 
 attended with fever, which had brought him low, but I 
 prescribed him a gallon or two of chicken broth, which 
 washed him as clean as a gun and quenched his fever. 
 Here Maj. Mayo met us well equipped for a march into 
 the woods, bringing a surveyor's tent that would have 
 sheltered a small troop. Young Tom Jones came and 
 made his excuse, but old Tom Jones, by the privilege of 
 his age, neither came nor sent. * * * When we got 
 home we laid the foundation of two large cities, one at 
 Shocco, to be called Richmond, the other at the point of 
 Appomattox I^un, to be called Petersburg. Thus we did 
 not build castles only, but also cities in the air." 
 
 These, it is said, are the first Hnes ever published in the 
 matter of founding those two cities. The idea was first 
 conceived by this party. The actual founding of the city 
 was done by the Peter Jones and Wood families, who 
 owned the land and were its first inhabitants.

 joined the United States Army at Halifax ; was appointed 
 First Lieutenant Third Regiment, 3d May, 1808, Pasture

 place, in York County, S. C, and a valuable plantation on

 large number of negroes. 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-

 Halcott Pride, called Hocky, of Sussex County, Va., m. 
 Mary Briggs. They had three children. Lucy m. 
 Dr. Alex. Glass Stancher; Mary, m. Maj. Cadwallader 
 Jones. Halcott Briggs died single. He was wealthy, 
 owning large bodies of land in Virginia, and in Halifax 
 and Northampton, N. C, among others, the Mush 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 1,000 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."

 Dr. T. T. Robertson, late of Winnsboro, S. C, was the 
 youngest of three brothers. He was in the Florida War. 
 His brothers, William Woodward and B. Hawley Robert- 
 son, were in the famous Palmetto Regiment, which went 
 to Mexico. William is recorded as among those that fell. 
 Hawley is living ; he went out as Third Sergeant, and was 
 promoted to Sergeant Major. Their father, William 
 
 57 
 
Robertson, was in the War of 1812; was son of Capt. 
 William Robertson, called Capt. Squire Willie, because 
 he was a Magistrate in colonial times, and Captain in the 
 War of the Revolution. He was son of John Robertson, 
 who 111. the widow Woodward ; her son was Thomas 
 Woodward, the "Regulator," and great-grand-father of

 Dr. T. T. Robertson was an eminent physician in Fair- 
 field County, and a man universally beloved. He studied 
 the profession of medicine in Paris and, returning home, 
 built up an eminently successful and extensive practice. 
 He was one of the leading members of the State Medical 
 Society and was elected President on its reorganization 
 after the war. During the war he volunteered his profes- 
 sional services to the Confederacy and went to the hos- 
 pitals in Richmond, but was obliged to return home on 
 account of failing health. Through his eminent virtues, 
 unimpeachable integrity, kindly sympathy and rare social 
 qualities, he endeared himself to a large circle of friends.

 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 North 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

 who m. Lieut. McNeely, of the United States Navy. His 
 son Willie, 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 and Charles, merchants, respectively, of 
 Bristol and Dublin. Charles ///. 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, who m. Margaret 
 McCulloh, I August, 1750, and had issue: James, b. 5 
 October, 175 1 ; Charles, Francis, Arthur, and Thomas, b. 
 1 761. 
 
 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 Myrton — 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 Myrton to his eld- 
 est son, Sir Godfrey, who assumed the surname McCullo. 
 The estate was held in this name until 1524, when Sir 
 Alexander McCullo died without issue male and was suc- 
 ceeded by his son-in-law, Henry McCulloh, who m. his 
 daughter Margaret. The charter was renewed by 
 James I. again by Queen Mary, and held by Simeon, 
 William and Alexander McCulloh until 1643, when he 
 died, and was succeeded by his son William, of Brandel- 
 ston, who left two sons, James, 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.

 Jmnes Iredell, Associate Justice of the first Supreme 
 Court of the United 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 
 1774-75- These discussions were in pamphlets and pri- 
 vate letters, being precluded by his ofifice of Collector of 
 the Port of Roanoke, from public effort. William 
 Hooper says : "Whilst 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 country, 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 bold — 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 1779, at the age 
 of 28. He m. Hannah Johnstone, 18 July, 1773, youngest 
 daughter of John Johnstone and wife, Helen Scrymgoeur, 
 daughter of Alex. Scrymgoeur and wife, Jane Duncan, 
 of Scotland. 
 
 Johfi Johnstone, brother of the Governor, Gabriel, emi- 
 grated to America from Dundee, Scotland, 1736, and 
 was appointed Surveyor General of the province. He 
 resided in Onslow, owning large possessions in that 
 county. He was ordained minister of the Church of 
 
 63 
 
England, and on Sundays would read the services to his 
 family and neighbors. He often represented his county 
 in the Provincial and State Assemblies. He was wealthy, 
 a capitalist, and it is said governed many in the Assembly 
 by lending them money. In bad weather he had every 
 kind of work carried on in his house. Tailors, shoe- 
 makers, saddlers — all plied their trades. In 1776 he was 
 a member of Caswell's Council. He in. before leaving 
 Scotland, Helen, daughter of Alexander Scrymgoeur and 
 Jane Duncan, of Scotland. This Scrymgoeur was a 
 lineal descendant of Sir Alexander Scrymgoeur, of the 
 army of King Robert de Bruce.

 2. Helen; both died single. 
 
 3. James, b. at Edenton, N. C, 2 November, 1788. 
 He was a man of great talent; by many thought the 
 
 equal of his father. He was member of the House of 
 Commons 1816, Speaker 1817-18, Judge 1819, Governor 
 1827, and United States Senator 1828, succeeding Macon. 
 This office he resigned 1831 and returned to the bar. He 
 died 1855. The old Judge died 1799. 
 
 Governor James Iredell m. Frances Johnstone Tred- 
 well, daughter of Samuel Tredwell and wife, Helen

 THE JOHNSTONE FAMILY 
 
 The Johnstones 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 ofiice 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. Mary, 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

 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,

 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, 1780-82; dele- 
 gate to the Continental Congress at Philadelphia ; 
 Judge, 1800, and the first United States Senator 
 elected from North Carolina, 1789. He was a 
 wealthy planter, and, after a busy life and for the 
 purpose of repose, he resigned his office of Judge in 
 1803, and retired to his residence, "Hayes," near 
 Edenton, where he died, 1816. He m. Frances 
 Cathcart, and left four children :

 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-

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 Wood 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, Mrs. Iredell ; when the Governor 
 died in 1853, he immediately sent her a cheque for 
 $50,000. This was all lost by an investment which failed 
 during the war.
