From a Former Citizen of Guilford
The Patriot is in receipt of a most
interesting letter from Mr. Andrew
Nicholson, aJveoerable citizen, of New
Castle, Henry county, Ind., who waa
born and reared within a few miles of
this city, on the Battle Ground road:
He asks what has become of old Mar
tinsville and says be. has picked up
bayonets left by the British in the bat-
tla of Qniirord . uourc nouse. ex
tracts from hia letter follow :
Mb. -v Editor : You arean entire
stranger to me and so am I to yon, but
wa will not be strangers long. X was
born and partly reared in your -county
and state. My father, John Nicholson,
owned a farm on the road leading from
Martinsville to the cross roads; I guess
Van call it Greensboro now. I have
seen load after load of the old .build
ings pass our house; I forgot whether
they movtd the old court house or not,
but they moved the old log jail. They
had got It up and the doors locked, but
not chinked and daubed : - had one
prisoner In it.
"Our farm lay on the east side of the
road, one and a half miles from Mar
tinsville. (I have to guess at courses
and distances.) It had a spring on It
and a little branch. Our neighbors
were Aaron Berry, a' hatter; Pratt
Jessup, who wore buckskin breeches;
the Albrights, and Johnny Gibson, who
made peach and apple brandy In sum
mer and whiskey in winter. He set
up a liquor shop in 4he new town
His son was bar-tender. Once he eaid
to his son, 'Johnny, my man, did yon
charge that half pint?' Yes, father, I
did.' 'Well charge it again before yon
forget it.' A young married couple
I think they came from Virginia-
started up a tailor shop; something we
needed. They stood very fair. After
they had lived with us for some time
we were startled one morning by the
report that strangers had arrested our
tailor as a slave and sold him, I think,
it was to Wilkes Peonies. After Mm
Peoples died the heirs sold the slave
but he was so white the purchaser had
a hard bargain. Finally the latter tied
him on his back In the sunshine,
changed his color, and sold him the
best he could. '
"My father and mother were Metho
dists. Our preacher preached from
Sunday morning until Saturday night.
One of our neighbors wanted to go
with the preacher to his next point
sent his son out to the road to
He grew impatient and ' went
out and asked his Son if anybody had
passed. He said no, but a nice bay
mare With a long tail had passed with
a pair of legs strung across her. (The
preacher was badly hump backed.)
His name was Mulr. I recollect how
it was spelled.
One of my school teachers was Wil-
Ham Lister. He agreed, to teach read
ing, writing and arithmetic as far as
the single rule of three.
I will be ninety-four years old next
Thanksgiving. Have been in Sunday
school eighty-four years and still go
every Sunday I am able. Was marked
present every Sunday in the year a
short time ago. Written , with mine
own band. Andrew Nicholson."
Marshals for the State Fair.
