It. OLD FAMILIES OF ROWAN, CONTINUED. Another family of Old Rowan was THE PEARSON FAMILY, j Richmond Pearson, the founder of this family, was a native of Dinwiddiei county, Virginia, ami came to North Carolina at nineteen years of age, and settled in the forKs oi tne xadkin, tucn iiowan, now Davie county. At the breaking out of the Revolutionary war, RichmoBd Pearson, was a Lieutenunt in Capt. Bryan s company and settled tfie political allinity of his company by whipping his captain lira fist light, as related in a previous page. Capt. Pearson was present wheirCornwallis crossed Cow an's Ford on the Catawba, in 1781 and wit nessed the fall' of the bravd'Gen. William Davidsonlle was a merchant audi a plan ter," an iLat an early day succeeded pn navi gating the Yadkin River. lie is said to have established a combined. land and wa ter route, as follows : . From his mills on the South Fork, by boat down the Yadkin -to the Narrows; thence by land below the Grassy Islands; then again by the river to Sneedsbjro, which was then rival !of Che raw. ' Perhaps when; the Yadkin isjopened as far as Bean's Shoals, or Wilkcsboro, for light draught steamers, according; to the plan now undertaken, it will le found that comiuunication may le praicable1 to the sea by water, and thus reduce the freights "how exacted for heavy articles on the Rail Road. '"; I iiieimanl Pearson was twice nvarried. His first wife was a Missilluj'dco, 'and she tmre liim three sons and a' drf tighter name ly: Gen. Jesse A. Pearsonillon. ;.Joseph Pearson, Richmond Pearson and Elizaleth. Bv Ids 'second marriage RichniOud Pear son had six children: -Sarah, Eliza, Charles, Richmond Mumford, Giles N. and JohnHWlls ca,lc1 in whit h uc was interested, rose Stokes Pearson. Most ot thosex-hildreu oc rupied rominentand responsible positions in their day. Jesse'A. Pearson, reprfesbnted Rowan county in the Legislature tivi times. In 18J4, he was Colonel of a Regiment that marched against the Creek Indians under Gen. Joseph Graham, He was first married to a daughter of Gen. John bteele. and at- terwards to a Mrs. Wilson, whose daughter by a feirmer husband was tire first wife of Archibald Carter, Esq., of Div'.c. Hon. Joseph Pearson, was h lawyer, rep resented the borough of Salisbury! in the House of Commons, and was a member of Congress frem 1809 to 1815. ! Richmond Pearson, though never in pub lic life, was an active enterprising man. He is celebrated for having passed over the falls of the Yadkin ia a bout, with tyo com panion". No one else is known to have at-' tempted this hazardous enterprise. -m m mm 1 a . mt But the most distinguished ot tne ,iarauy was Richmond M. Pearson. He wai. born in 1803, prepared for college by John Mu shat, at Statesville, and graduated iat the University "Of North Carolina in 1823. He studied law under Judge Henderson, and was licensed to praticc iii 182& Frorh 1829 to 832 he represented Rowan eountyjin the House of Commons. In 1836, he was elected Judge of the Superief Cohrt and in 1848 he was transferred to the Supreme Court of North Carolina. In 1836 he became i Chief Justice, with William .II. Battle and jE. G. Reade as AHSociate Justices. In 1870, un der the Shoffner Bill, Gov. Holden ordered George W. Kirk,jvith a considerable! lody of troops, to march into Alamance, Orange and Caswell counties. Many arrests were made; anions: others, those of Josiah Turner a id John Kerr, afterwards Judge Kerr. When applied to for a Vft of Habeas Cor pus for some of theseriorprisoncdTeitizens, Judge Pearson promptly granted fjlut de clined to attach Kftfe iforjlisnbcytng it, de claring that the "Ju'dlcifry- &as exhausted." Though the decision httm sst'rely- rtpbn the prisoners, it is difficult to sec ihow a J udge could enforce the writ, :u iti the Governor iu command of the troops of -the State, and hostile to the rights Of the citizen. - Iu Jan uary, 1878, Chief Justice Pearson died on his way to Raleigh to hold the January term of the Supreme Court. Moore iu his History says of him, that "His strong native ability, profound learning and long judicial career have made him immortal in legal cir cles.1' It is probable that he was the rr foundestrjurist ever born inllowan cbunty. For a number of years, Judge Pearsjrm re sided at Richmond Hill near Rockforjd, in Surry county. There he conducted a law school, and students from, all parts of the State flocked to his school for instruction. Giles N. Pearson, a younger brother of Chief Justice Pearson, was also a lawyer-by profession, and resided in Mocksville He married a daughter of Anderson Ellis, Sr., of Davidson county, ft sister of Gov.lEllis. He died in 1847, ieaving a wife and .five children, severaVof them still surviving. GOV. JOHN W. ELLIS,' " was native of Davidson county, tlieniRow an, and was born 23rd November, 18201 The family of the Ellises, for several generationsj lived in the tamed jersey settlement, on tne . IT JL ! . .1 ? 1 eastern banks of the Yadkin, and several oTi them iaecumulated fortunes. Anderson El lis, Sr., gave to his children the advantages of a good education, and most of them be came prominent and useful citizens. ! John Willis, was early sent to a classical school, taught by Robert Allison, JIsqM at Bcttie's Frd. After spending a season at Randolph Macon College, in Virginia, he went to th!

Rut his health failed him and he resorted to the Red Sulphur Springs in Virginia to restore his strength. But the flame of life flicker ed only a moment longer, and he died on the 7th of July, 1861, only a few weeks af ter the battle of Big Bethel, when General (then Colonel) D. H. Hill, met and defeated Gen. B E. Butler. Thus it xra thnt i.u brave spirit departed from earth, just as the storm of "war began to burst over the devo ted South. - His remains sleen in nnipt in Oak Grove Cemetery, in Salisburvwhere a shaft of polished marble marks his resting Governor Ellis first married Mary, only auugnter ot lior.

' THE CALDWELL FAMILY. In the eastern part of Iredell county, then xvwn.-iu, iucr uybu a nunureu years ago a substantial citizen bv the name of Andrew Caldwell. He was of that sturdy, Scotch Irish stock that peopled so much of this region ot. country, lie married Ruth the second daughter of the Hon. Wm. Sharpe. He was a leuling man in his county and of ten represented his fellow citizens in the Legislature. lie had a number of children, among tnem tnrcc sons widely known, viz: Hon. David F. Caldwell, Hon. Joseph P. Caldwell, of Iredell, and Dr. Elam Caldwell. of Lincolnton. But we are more particularly interested in II on. D. F. Caldwell, so Icjujj a cujzen or uowan county. DAVID FHANKLIX CALLWELL was born in 1792, and pursued his literary course at Chapel Hill. He studied law with the Hon. Archibald Hendersou, of Salisbury, and entered public life as a member of the Housenjf Commons from Iredell, in 1816, where he served several years. After a time lie removed to Salisbury, and in 1829, '30 and '31, represented Rowan in the Senate of North Carolina. He was speaker of the Senate in 1829. After this he pursued his profession as a lawyer with eminent success tor number of years. In 1844 he was pro moted to the position of Judge of the , Su perior Courts of North Carolina. Judge Caldwell was astern, but impartial judge, and presided with great dignity, keeping the witnesses, jurors and lawyers in good order. Many anecdotes are told of his eccentricities, all leaning to the side of sim plicity, kindness, order and decency. A law yer, then quite young, was sick during the Couit in Washington, and was visited very kindly by Judge Caldwell. At a Court the next week, the young lawyer, still quite teeble, managed to attend, and when a case to speak. "Sit down, sir," said the Judge, in his sternest tones. The lawyer sat down, as if thunderstruck. In a moment, however, he rose again to speak, and was told to sit down, in still more terrible tones. Again he sat down, not knowing what it all meant. Then the Judge said, "you are not able to stand up, and I will hear you from your scat." The lawyer was amazed at the un expected turn of affairs, and knowing that he would not be allowed to stand, addressed the Judge from his-scat. Upon a certain occasion, it is related, a young lawyer took his seat inside the bar dressed in peculiarly dandyish style. The Judge surveyed him from head to foot, and muttered to Ir'mself, "Hair parted in the middle" "Mustache" "RurHed shirt" "Striped vest" "Straps" "Punips." Then in thundering tones, "Get out of the bar !" -Some older lawyer arose and informed the Judge that the yourig man was a lawyer and had a right to a scat in the bar. "I beg pardon," said the Judge, "but I did not think that any lawyer had so little sense as to dress in that way." Upon another occasion, the Judge asked a lawyer for a chew of tobacco. The lawyer handed him his piece of plug, bitten all around. The Judge turned it round and round in his hand, and remarked aloud, "Why den't you cut off your tobacco, like a gentleman, and not gnaw it off in that in decent way I Judge Caldwell had a high respect for honest labor. One day while passing the premises of a minister, he saw him with his coat off, spading up his trarden. Lifting his hat in the old time fashion of courtesy, he said: "Saint Paul used to labor with his own hands, and I am glad to see one minis-, ter who is not ashamed to follow his exam ple." His second wife lies buried under the Lec ture Room of the Presbyterian Church in Salisbury. For many years Judge Caldwell 'was in the habit of lifting his hat reverent ly, every time he passed the corner. In 1858, being then 68 years of age, he felt it his duty to resign his scat on the judicial bench, unwilling to continue until he would become unfit fur his duties. He died in 1867, at the age of 77,and his remains, unmarked by anionument, are lying beside the resting place of his first wife, near the monument of the Hon. Archibald Henderson. Judge Caldwell was twice married. He first married Fanny, the daughter of Wm. Lee Alexander, Esq., and neice of Hon. Arch ibald Henderson. Their children -were, William Lee, Archibald Henderson, Eliza beth Ruth who married Col. Charles Fish er Richard Alexander Caldwell, Esq., Dr. Julius Andrew Caldwell, and Fanny McCoy, married to Peter Hairstiw. Esq. After the death cf his first wife, hi- married Mrs. Re becca M. Troy, vee Nesbit. the widow of the late Matthew Troy, Esq., and the half sister of the late Maxwell Chambers. Esq. Her remains are interred beneath the Presbyte rian Lecture Room, near to Mr. Chambers grave. She was an earnest christian woman, of a meek and qniet spirit. During her widowhood, she and her half brother, Max well Chambers, lived east of town, where Capt. John Beard now lives. Afterwards1, they purchased and lived in the residence where Mrs. Dr. Joseph W. Hall now live?. the same time, Mrs. Troy, the mnther-of Matthew Troy, and her daughter, Catherine Troy, lived in the housa where R. J. Holmes now resides, on Innes Street. 1 THE CHAMBERS AKD TBOT FAMILIES. We have already defied -into some' ac count of one or two members of these fami lies but a fuller account may be interesting. 1.1 ?r North Carolina, where he was graduated in 1841 His leiral nHNnnH nn.l- r.. a vuiW hi pansoury, and br geuce and talent During the Revolutionary war Maxwell I Chambers, the elder, resided' in Salisbury. He lived on the -placef where Mr. S." H. ! Yiley's residence now stands.. Lord-Cofn-wallis made his headquarters in this house, 1781. Maxwell Chambers was the Treasurer of the Committee of Safety for Rowan, in l mo o, and was a true patriot, tboush he once fell under the censure ot the Committee for raisins: the nrico of powder, and it was ordered that he be advertised as an enemy of his country. "After the-war he lived at O ? It'll - " ' . opnug run, aoQut two nines cast ot Salis bury, where he raised a large family. He was married to the daughter" of George Magouae, who had married Hester Long, the widow of John'Longy.and mother of Alex. Long, Esq. Maxwell Chambers had nine sons, named William.. Max well who was gradnated at Chapel Uill in 1809 Hen ry, Joseph,:Samuel. Edward. Thorn aa. Ot ho. and John Henry became a lawyer, and Maxwell a physician, the others were fann ers, lhey all died early in life, souy; of them unmarried, and it Is not known that any of their descendants are now living in this country. The late WmjXIiambers was a son of Edward Chambers, but left nio children. John Chambers, married Pant hea Troy, sister of Matthew Troy, Esq., and of me laie airs, juaxweii v,nanibers. MAXWELL enjLUBERS, . the younger, was a distant relative of the family already mentioned,.and was the son of Joseph and Mary Chambers, of Salisbury. Beneath the Lecture Robni of the Presby terian Church in Salisbury,1 there are ten graves, nin of theci cwered-with marble slabs, and one marked 1J fheadstone. As there i historical mptter; loscribejl pa those slabs,' and the general pubjiq ueyer sec these inscriptions, I will give'the epitaphs in sub stance. Commencing next' t the w all we find the first monument and the oldest, with this inscription : ; . . j 1. William Nesbit, died Nor. 22. 1799, aged C4 years. j 2. Adelade Fulton, daughter of John and Mary Fulton, died at two weeks of age. , 3. Mary Fulton, died Jan. 5, 1808, aged, 45 years. j (a) She was first married to Joseph Cham bers, by whom she had one son, Maxwell Chambers. " (b) She was next married to Wm. Nesbit, and had two children, David M. and Rebec ca M. Nesbit. (c) She was again married to John Ful ton and had one child, Adelade Fulton. 4. David M. Ncsbitson of Wm. and Mary Nesbit, died Oct. 19, 1811, aged 25 years. 5. Henry M. Troy, sori , of Matthew and Rebecca M. Troy, died July 8th, 1824, aged 11 years, 11 months and lo days. 6. Laura Troy, daughter of Matthew and Retecca M. Troy, died Nov. 16th, 1828, aged 18 years, 1 month, 1 day. 1 7. Rebecca M. Caldwell, second wife of Hon. D. F. Caldwell, died Nov. ,28th, 1855, in the 05th year of her age. 8. Panthca Jane Daviess, daughter of Robert and Anne Daviess, of Mercer county, Ky., died May 20th, 1835 aged 10 years. 9. Catherine B. Chambers consort of Max well Chambers, and daughter of Matthew and Jane Troy, died Nov; 27, 1852, aged 67 years, 7 months and 3 dayv 10. Maxwell Chambers, .died Feb: 7th, 1855, aged 75 years, 1 month and 14 days. From the above figures we gather that Maxwell Chambers was the son of Joseph and Mary Chambers, and !w9 liorn on 23rd of January, 17S0. Tradition states that he was born in the house jiow the residence of Thomas J. Meroney, on Main ' street. His early education was probably secured in Salisbury, and he entered into business here with his,. uncle,. a Mrv Campbell, fromivhit b we infer that his mother's; inaiden name was Campbell. After conducting business iiere for awhile, Mr. Campbell 4ml MrrClianibers went to Charleston and set tip in mercantile business there. Here Mr. Cliambcrs laid t lie foundation of his fortune,; and after awhile heYefnrned to Salisbury and lived with his widowed half sister, Mrs. Rebecca M. Troy. After a time he married Miss Catherine B. Troy, the daughter of Matthew Troy, the elder, and sister of Matthew Troy the young er.. It is said that an attachment had long existed between this couple, but Mr. Cham bers had thought himself too poor to marry in his younger days. But' when he had amassed a considerable fortune of perhaps one or two hundred thousand dollars, and she being the owner of about $30,000, they considered themselves in proper circum stances to marry, though both were some what advanced in life. They settled at the Nesbit place, on Innes street; now the home of R. J. Holmes, and here they ended their days. Mr. Chambers never entered into reg ular business again, but became a general trader, and attended to the management of his large estate. He was eminently success ful in accumulating property" and at his death had amassed a tortuiieof nearly a half million of dollars. . He made arrangements for the' removal and liberation of all his tlaves at his death, and these plans we e faithfully carried out by his executors, and between thirty and forty slaves were sent to the northwest, and started .in lite in the r new home. Besides legacies to many of his kindred and friends, and to the church of his choice, he left a residuary .legacy to DavidsonColIcgc,wbich would have amount ed to $250,000, if the College had obtained all he intended fur it. Bnt owing to the limitations of its Charter, the College could not receive the whole amount, and a consid erable sum went to his heirs that were next of kin. The inscription on the marble slab that covers his remains, is probably as lair a de lincatiou of character as; was fever put upon a monument, and it 49-liere given: "In his business he-xwacssd the clearest foresiuht and the profoundest judgment. In all his transactions fte iaa exact and just. ; - vi . , In social life, dignifiedJ but confiding. tender and kind. In his plans, wise, prudent and successful. In his bcstowinents uisuaad Was not only lilcral, but often munificent. In the close of his life be set his house in order, willed his soul to God, and the great er part of his estate to the cause of cduca tion, th rough the church of his choice." Mr. Chambers was not promiscuously lib eral, but only to the objects he considered worthy, and in his own way. L pon a cer tain occasion a poor man had his house burnt down, and the next day some inend took around a subscription paper for his 'benefit. The paper was somewhat ostentatiously pre sented to Mr. Chambers, bi t he utterly rcj fused to subsorile. He was of course severe ly criticized for his illibemlity ; but while the critics were handing his penuriousness around, Mr. Chambers quietly ordered one of his servants to get ready a cart, and he and his good wife filled it withflwur, meal, lard, bacon, bed clothing and other things to the value Jof nearly $50, perhaps equal iu value to the gifts of all the others combined, and the poor man found himself richer than he had been before the fire. :i Mr. Chambers, never mixed business and charity together. He would give and take the last cent due in a trade, en he chose tand who give, he gave liberally. His good wife, familiarly known as "Aunt Kitty,! was the soul of kindness. She was an earnest and devout christian, and full of faith and good koi ks. To her pastor, living on a salary rather small, and with a large family, and many 'visitors, 'she made weekly, and sometimes daily dona tions, amounting' in the year to some hun- dreds of dollars. ' For some years before her death, she was blind, but still patient sub missive, aud charitable. Her portrait, with that of her husband, hangs in the parlor of tnejuansem ba lis bury, as perpetual; mem orials of their benefactions. ! i COURT CALENDAR For Fall - Term of RoWnn - Superior Court, 1 880--C1-vil Cuwes Before HLs Hon or Judge JLm Jm MeCojr.
