County Of Warren Once Part of Bute That Name Discontinued When When Stamp Act Aroused Ire of Early Americans Raleigh, February 7 ? The County Of Warren that was pre viously known an Bute has had one of the most spectacular experiences as a county and a community of any in th* State, according to Fred A. Olds, head of the State Historical j Commission. who personally compiled the history of Warren County. "This county was erected In 1779 when the General Assembly did away with Dute County, which had been named during the Provisional Days, in honor of the Earl of Bute, who had become very odious to the Patriots because erf his pressure of the Htamp Act. The Assembly split Bute and made of it Frankiyn and Warren, the latter being the northern end of It. The name was given in honor of General Joseph Warren of Massachusetts, who died In the Battle of Bunker Hill. "The Assembly named as commis sioners to divide Bute equally Into Frankiyn and Warren, Julius Ni chols, William Duke, John Fallnn, John Norwood, and Matthew Thom as. It was ordered that the first county court of Warren should be held at^the court hquse of Bute on the second Monday to February. 177t, but the justices were author-! Ised to meet afterwards at' any con venient place until the court house should be built, as nearly ss possible In the center of the county, j bat where there wss good drinking water. The commissioners were empowered to buy one hundred j seres of land for the court hou*? sad Jail and to *c?? with proper. workmen to erect the building. "The county was active in the Revolutionary War. Bute, which was Its mother county, had no tories within its borders. General Jethro Sumner, of Bute Old Court j H&tlfe, in Warren was prominent in the war. He was in Warren in August 1779, pushing the work of j filling the ranks of the Continental troops, to march to th<* defense of South Carolina. In 1780 the sick soldiers o( Halifax were remov ed to Col. Hawkins place In Warren, by the Board erf War for North Car olina. The board found Warren was raising much provisions and supplies for the army, William i Christmas, commissioner, having this business in hand. Col. John son commanding the county militia. A specific grain tax (that is, it was paid in grain), was levied and a warehouse or granary built to con tain the grain. In 1781 General Sumner was again busy in the ccrunty and was offered the com mand of the militia of the State in case Governor Caswell became ill. That year Commissioner Christmas impressed tobacco, to be shipped abroad in order to pay for arms and other warlike necessities. "Horsesi were Impressed In the county by r, on oral Nathaniel Greene In August 1781, and Kussell's Race Paths. Major ?>Tillam Hunt had 'charge of this duty. The magis trates of Warren issued the impress ment warrants. The county was made the place of rendezvous a( Colonel Benjamin William's regi * ment, the officers' commissioners i being glveri by Governor Burke. In January 1782. Oovernor Alexander Martin wrote Oeneral Sumner, ' warmly congratulating him, the head of North Carolina Arms otj the 'Utaw* (by this was meant the Battle of Eutaw Springs, Soruth j Carolina, September 8, 1781.) Many troops were at Warren Court House when this letter waa written. These were State troops from the district of Halifax. - i The Assembly made an order .tbat I ? ? ; James ' Biggleston, the privato sec | retary of the last Koyal Governor, j Josiah Martin, who had refused to deliver the coinmisioners of the state Martin's private property, after the Governor had fled in June ! 1773, from the "Palace" at New jUerni1, ami who- had for four yenps beeu in close jail and then confined to certain limits including a farm he had hired, be given leave to re side fn Warren until otherwise di rected by lawful authority. "In 1786 the Assembly chartered Warrenton Academy, and among the trustees named in the act were Rev. Henry Patillo, General William R. Davie. ^Benjamin Hawkins, Nathan iel Macon, Philemon Hawkins, Ed ward Jones, Thomas Person, Tho mas Eaton. William Green, James Gloster Brelion, Nicholas Long, and Willie Jones. The act directed that money be raised by a lottery to, the . jiXteut of 5,0.00 and that the* chief-; prize should be 200 pounds. "Then census of 17 86, taken by the State," gave Warren 8.295 in habitants. "In 1825 General Lafayette, the beloved commander of the French . troops in the United States during] j the Revolutionary War, visited j | Warrenton. The county has furnished three ; governors for this State, James ! Turner, William Hawkins, and Wil liam Miller. It has furnished j many members of the council of State, and quite a number of other | State officials. "The first State senator was j : Faulcon and the first representa-j ? tives were John Macon and Joseph i ' Hawkins. \ ' Sampson County Made From Duplin Named For Colonel John Sampson of Revolutionary Army Fame Raleigh, February 7. ? The his tory of Sampson County is marked I by the trial of men charged with | fraud in connection with the ac j counts of the Commissioners of I Revolutionary Army records, accord | iui? to the compilation made by ? Colonel Fred A. Olds, of the State ! Historical Commission. "By reason of the largeness of i Duplin County," Colonel Olds j quotes the General Assembly of 1 178 4 as saying, the county was di vided and its western part made the County of Duplin. "The act does not so state," I writes the historian, "but the I county was so named in honor of ! Colonel John Sampson of the Reve lutionary Army and a member of { the council of Governor Alexander 1 Martin In 1783-85. "The place chosen for the county seat was named Clinton in honor of Richard Clinton of the county, and ' the first court house audi jail were built in 1785 on land' given by a natural son of Colonel John Sampson for whom, the county was named "The Assembly December 29, 1785 granted a charter for a town to be named Lisbon on the lands ol Jesse Peaccrck near the confluence ol two streams, Coharie and Six Runs, area 100 acres. "In December of 17S6 the General Assembly held a noted trial of men who had forged accounts and vou chers and put these in the office ot the Commissioners of Revolutionary Army accounts. Witnesses were cited to appear against * these swindlers and forgers. Two of the witneses were Thomas Jordon and David Dodd. both of Camden. That year Governor Caswell told Judge Ashe to go to Sampson and try "sundry and atrocious offen ders, particularly in the business of stealin' horses." "A state census was taken in 1786 by order of the Assembly. It gave Sampson a total population of 4,268 persons. In 1789 part of New Hanover was, on petition of its inhabitants, added to Sampson. In 1790 the county was put in the Congressional district called the Cape Fear. The United States census gave the county a popula tion of 5000. There -were but few slaves in the county. Richard Clinton, being the largest owner, he having 33. "The first court house built in 1785 was removed in 1853 and the second built, . on Its present site, which is ""embraced in the Sampson gift.
