To give an added interest to the House in the Horseshoe it was for a, time the home of Governor Benjamin Williams, one of the most prominent of the men of the revolution that Middle North Carolina holds in mem ory. In 1774, when about 24 years old Benjamin Williams was elected a delegate to the convention which at | Wilmington commenced the revolt j against the mother country. This con vention selected three delegates to at tend the first Continental Congress in Philadelphia. He was in the conven tion in 1775 which provided for a de fensive army for the colony, and he was made a lieutenant of the militia. He was in the Halifax convention in 1776 that formed the bill of rights, and in 1779 he was in the Colonial House of Commons, and the Senate in 1781, 1784, 1786 and 1789. He was | also at other periods in the House of | Commons. He was in the Legislature | when the Federal constitution was! adopted by North Carolina and when i the University was established, and for four years he was head of the institution. In 1793 he was elected to | Congress, and in 1799 he became gov-1 ernor of North Carolina. In 1807 he! was again chosen to the Senate, then ! elected governor again, and then once | more to the Senate. j Buried Near First Home. | Governor Williams had his first j home on the ridge near the cemetery i where he and his wife are buried, then I he came over to the House in the ^ Horseshoe, where he lived until his | death in 1814.
