To be at war is difficult
enough for a nation, Jtut to
fight within your own country
, adds a greater sadness to
war.
Duplin County experienc
, ed a great deal of destruction
during the Revolutionary and
Civil Wars. Along with the
destruction of property many
lives were lost. One of the
early encounters with enemy
, troops in Duplin came during
1781 when Major James H.
Craig and Captain Gordon
met the volunteer colonial
? militia at Rockftsh Bridge.
The colonial militia was led
by Colonel James Kenan.
The colonialists were so tre
mendously outnumbered at
Rockfish that Col. Kenan led
the troop of about 400 men in
a retreat, accounts from the
September 1, 1950 issue of

major James ri. uraig
issued an order and declared
all colonialists who failed to
enlist under the British
banner would be killed and
their property taken. The
order was issued in July of
1781 and colonialists had
until August 1 to enlist with
the crown's army. Craig
issued the order from his
headquarters in Wilmington
and he set up a "bull-pen"
for his captives near the
town. An outpost was also
established by Craig at
Rutherford's Mill in Pender
County.
When time expired on
Craig's decree, he began a
march to New Bern and
arrived in Duplin at Rockfish
Creek August 2. Colonel
James Kenan and Major
Griffen were waiting for
Craig, but soon after the
battle began a British
r cavalry attached the patriots
from the rear. The cavalry
m was led by Captain Gordon
* and included about 60 horse
men and two companies of
a artillery. Reports varied on
'casualties for the patriots;

Reaching the settlement of
Grove in Duplin County,
Craig decided to camp. The
home of Colonel Thomas
Routledge was used by Craig
as headquarters during the
several days his army
camped in Duplin. During
Craig's stay, his troops
burned the homes of patriot
leaders, destroyed crops and
stole livestock and pro
visions. Among the homes
burned by the British troops
were those of Captain Gil
lespie and Lieutenant
Houston. And, the Tories
were even reported to have
stolen the rings from Mrs.
William McGowen's hands
and forced her to tell news of
the patriot troops.
Craig was considered one
of the best of the Britist
officers. After the Revolu
tionary War ended, Craig
was honored by his country
with an appointment as
Governor-General' of the
British Dominion of Canada.
