The Hon. John Stokes. lived in Rowan county now Davie, near Richmond Hill. the residence of Richmond Pearson. He was a colonel in tho Revolutionary Amir and lost his right hand in the affair of Bu fbrd'a defeat in the Waxliaws. He had a silver cup, or "fist" made, which he wore. nna in nis speeches at the bar. he would sometimes bring down this silver fist with a ringing sound. He married Elizabeth, the daughter of Richmond Pearson, and half-sister of the late ehief Justice Pearson. He had a son named Richmond Pearson Stokes, who was also a. lawyer. Col. Stokes was at one time United States District Judge. He died in 1801. GOV. MOJiTFORD 8TOKK8, was for a long period a resident of Rowan county. He was born about 17G0, and was in the Revolutionary Army, and was taken prisoner near Norfolk in 1770, and confined for several months in a prison ship. For a number of years he was Clerk of Rowan Superior court, and Clerk of the State Sen ate. He was elected by the General Assem bly to the United States Senate, but declined to serve. In 1816 he was again elected Sen ator of the United States, and served till 1823. In 1831 he was appointed by Gen Jackson, Indian Agent in Arkansas. He re moved to that State and died there in 1842. The historian of North Carolina, Col. Mwore, says of him, that, "few men were so popular as -he, and his wit and humor were unce wing in their flow." Gov. Stokes re moved from Salisbury about 1812, and set tled in Wilkesboro. He was. first married t Mary, the daughter of Col. Henry Irwin, who fell at the battle of Germantown. By her he had one daughter, named Adelaide, who became the wife of Henry Chambers of Rowan. Also a son named Montford S. Stokes, who was major ot the North Caro lina Regiment in the war with Mexico. At the opening of the late war between the States, Montford S. Stokes, was colonel of the First North Carolina State Troops. Col. Stokes was killed at Etlyson's Mill, near Richmond, June 26th. 1802. k s His second wife was Rachel Montgomery, the daughter of Hugh Montgomery of Salis bury. By her he had several children: Hugh M. Stokes, David. Stokes, Thomas Jef ferson Stokes, and several daughters. The Waiiof 1812-'14. In tracing the history of Rowan county, it wilnot be expected that we shall enter into a detail of the great public affaire of the United States. And yet we must g!ance at them in order to account for events that took place in this county. The Bnrbary States on the North Coast of Africa, for awhile obstructed the Commerce of the United States in the Metliterrohwitt Sea, and this led to a war with Trioli in 180:1 in which Commodore Preble, Leut. Stephen Decatur, and Commodore Uarron took a conspicuous part, and brought the Bashaw to make a treaty of peace, which was con cluded in 1805. But this matter Was scarce ly settled, when a greater dirticiuty arose. England and France were then! at war, and the United States became involved in regard to her commerce. By "orders! in council," the .English government declarcl all vessels conveying produce from the United States to Europe legal prizes. Aain, in 1806, England declared several European ports in a state of blockade. Napoleon by his "Ber lin Decree," and "Milan Decree" forbade the introduction of English good. into any part of Europe, and confiscated the cargoes of all such vessels as should submit to be search ed by tlis English. But England was in aaed of sailors, and as many oL-them were supposed U) be employed on American ships, she insisted upon searching the ships of the United States. Jn vain dial America protest. TIwj "Queen of the Seas" held our power in contempt, and continued to search ll Amer ican vessels by force. As tlie only course left, the Congress of the Uuited States pass ed the "Embargo Act," by which all united States tradin" vessels were prohibited froni leaying their ports. This Act Operated, not onlv to the disadvantage of England, but was disastrous to the shipping interests of this countrv. All foreign commerce was de stroyed, and the people were left to their own resources. Conee and lea, shkp, uroau cloths, ribbons, and all such commodities. became as rare as they were in the late Con ThJ ant murHiuring, especially in New England, where most of the shiooinir was owned. In the mean time President Jefferson went out of orthie, and James Madison was inaugu rted in 1809. Soon after iiatjison s inau guration the British Minister at Washington gave assurances that England's "Orders in Council" would be revoked. Upon this Mr. Madison issued a Proclamation, April, 9, 180U, that the Non-intercourse Act would be suspended after the 10th of the following Jane. This Proclamation produced gr;at joy throughout the whoh country, and the wave ot gladness toilea over tne u n 1 ana reached the ouiet town of Salisbury. The citizens of Rowan had a general parade Salisbury, followed by an illumination at nirit. Cant. John Beard had an immense frame work, something like old-time warp inir bars, erected in front of his! liousc, 'with candles blazing on every part of the struc- turc. At the loot 01 it was a raoie niie i with decanters and bottles containing choice liquors, and all his friends were invited to drink to the general joy, ,Mr. Edward Chamliers, son of the elder Maxwell Cham bers, made a speech to the ladies, in which he assured them that now the Embargo was raised, they would hare less work to do, inasmuch as they could purchase goods from Europe. But all this joy was prema tnre. The good news h d hardly reached the most distant parts ol ibe country 1cfore President Madison was assured that the Rrifiah Minister had exceeded his instruc tions, and .that the "orders in council," would not be revoked. And so the Presi dent at once issued another proclamation countermanding the first, And so matters went on, English ships searching American wherever fouud. with now and then a naval battle. In the meantime two remarkable natural phenomena occurred that filled the minds of many 01 our people wnn ipreuaumjj icar. The first of these was tfie'appearance of the celebrated Comet of 181 1. Thj Comet was - ,r. ll the most remarKaoie in Bpiera'uie tht hare been seen in the present eentnry.- While its nucleus was only 428 miles n di ameter, tt had a tail 133 millions of milts in earth like a iprpentf it would have wrgpped b n'th. ana hail it nccn eouea arouau iur around it more than 5000 times. This comet has a period of 3383 v ears, and bad not vis ited our heavens since B. C.1572w : Then it may have heralded the birth of Moses, and Amram, and Jocbebed my have gazed at it in wonder, and the cruel Pharaoh may have beheld it with terror, from tlie banks of the Nile. Be this as it mayt: many of the'peo--plc of Rowan county -vrere very much fright ened at its terrible appearance, and regard ed it as the harbinger of evil.' It a"tteared in June, 1811, and, continued to blaze In t he J western sky until November. It is related that late one afternoon in 'November, a ter rible explosion jwas heard, like a peal iof thunder. Bat tie sky was clear and serene. After tni the comet was seen-no more. Of conrw -there was no connection letween the.e j plosion, and tlie disappearance of the eoihct; but thj. common people n at n rally connected thcmt6gether. Oa the 11th 61 December another remark able event occurred. At two o'clock in the morning an earthquake occurred, that shook the house-, toppled bricks from the chim neys, and caused hanging furniture to sway backward and forward like a pendulum, ana tne water would splash out of vessels that stood on the floor. Tlie neriwd of agi tation lasted from November until April, lois. sometimes mere woum two or three shocks in a day, and then only one every two or three weeks. Some of t he peo ple would feel as if sea-sick, and all of them bad awful apprehensions of tome dreadful catastrophe liu pending. , Meanwhile public , affairs were drifting towards a declaration of war. The ultima tum of the British government was referred m Congress- to the Committee of Foreign rviuuona, or wmcn joiOT1 u. uaihoun was chairman.- This Committee reported in fa vor of a declaration of war.. The bill to this end, was adopted by Congress, and received the signature of President Madisoii, in June, 1812. . The plan of the war, on the part of tne united btates, was to seize the British Provinces in Canada. This was looked upon as an easy method of bringing England to terms, while little was expected from the infant navy. As it turned out the navy ot the United States made a brilliant record of heroism, while disaster after disaster characterized the land forooa. But to return to Rowan countv. we learn that the military spirit prevaded the whole community in 1812 and 'HI. Great volun teer meetings were held, and comixjnies and regiments paraded in the streets ot Salis bury. Patriotic speeches were made, and volunteers stepped into the ranks of the re cruiting olKcers. ! Barracks were erected on the eastern side of Crane Creek, on the plan tat ion owned by the late Samuel Reeves, and the barracks were under the command of Col. James Welborn of Wilkei countv. Most of the companies were sheltered in cabins erected for the purpose, but it is re membered that Cant. Cloud s company from btokes county preferred to live in tents. Capt. Jerry Cloud was the lather ot the Hon. J. aI. Cloud, and died near Isorlolk, in the encampment with his company,from the. ravages of disease superinduced by measles. . ' . ' . Besides Col Welborn, irt command, the officers were: Capt. Ward, Lieutenant Dear in;, and Pavmaster Glenn, I suppo&e the proper. title for the Barracks would be, "Camp of Instruction." Recruits of volun teers, and enlisted men came here from all western Isorth Carolina, from South Caro lina and from Georgia. Here they were drilled, embodied, "and sent eff to the army on the borders of Canada.' Some of them went to Sackett's Harlnjr. Thev m'arclicd to Portsmouth in iVirginir and went from thence in transports as near to lake Champ- lam as they couhl go by water. Tlie camp remained in active operation until late in lold. hen news ot a victory bv Commo dore Perrv, or CiipL.JKie Hulk-: or the de fence ot fort Metgs by thegallant Harrison, or any other encouraging news.'. came, the event was duly celebrated at the Barracks, or by a feast 01 dance in so:ne of the par'o fie town. There may have be-n thanks giving services 111 some ot the churches m the country, but Sulisbury had no church, and no minister 111 those davs While the war was raging on the northern frontier, the Creek Indians in Georgia and Alabama took up arms against the white settlers. The celebrated Tecumseh made a visit to the Southern Indians in the spring ot 1812, and excited them to resistance. 1 he white inhabitants on the Alabama luver in Auirust, 18l:$, hnving taken refuge in Fort Mimmns,m the Tensaw settlement, were at tacked hv the Indians, under their chief Billy We -ithcrford, and out of the 300 men women and children there assembled only seventeen escaped. This was August COth, 1813. In this massacre. Dr. Spruce Macoy Osborne, son ot Cou Adlai Osborne. then a surgeon ill the army was killed. This unnrovoked massacre aroused the whole countrv. and an armv of 3,600 men was rays ed.chienv in Tennessee, and placed under the command of General Andrew Jsjckion In the mean timet lie militia from the, Sal is bury Congressional District were ordered to rendezvous In Salisbury, on the first day of January, 1814, hi order to raise a regiment to march against the Creek Indians. It rain ed and snowed all that dsy, but notwith standing the weather, the militia flocked in and were sheltered for the night in the houses of the Salisbury people. On the next day they: were transferred to the birracks, and thi wo. k of enlistment went 011. nomei volunteered, others were 'detached," until a regiment was formed which was placed under the command of Cob Jesse A. Pearson. Gen. Joacph Graham was his superior piiicer in command of the expedition. J o this regiment the ladies o Salisbury, headed bv Mrs. Moses A. Locke presented a handsome flag of bine silk bordered with fringes audita sels of gold In the centre, it lore the .emblem of the United otates, tlie eaglejiajnted bv VV avnr Evans, the'son-in-Iaw of Tliirna Krider. Up on it also was painted a.nvoromposed bv Mrs. Eocke, as tollows rlrt not rue rmje of irar obliterate hmor and humanity toicards the female of on r tillage ff.: r This flag was presented to the regiment bv Mr. John Lewi Beard son of Capt. John Beard in bt'half of the ladies, at the old race track. The Rowan company in this regiment was com nianded by Capt. Jacob Krider of Salisbury James Gillespie was a lieutenant, and John Faust. Ensigr. Many hearts were sad in Rowan countv yrncn this regiment marchet out of Salisbury towards Alabama. But aside from the fatigues and dangers of the march, they were never in peril. While they were on their way to join Gen. Jackson, that intrepid chief had m -t and annihilated the ureeK warriors at louopexM, m hib urv Shoe Bend of the Tallapoosa River. Thi was MarclLSHj?, 1814. Ater this victory the submission M the Indians was tinuplete. and our troops ihjad nothliig to do but to turn around and;march home again. Very few incidents of this expedition have been handed down. Tradition, however, relates Capt. Krider's method of,retUicing a refrac tory and disorderly soldier into good lc havior. He had such a soldier n his ctmi pany and he usei ali the plans he could think of for this soldier's, reformation. At last, while encamped on the banks of one of the Georgia or Alabama rivers, a new idea struck the captain. He had a forked stake driven down, near the Iwnk of the river, and procuring a long pole, he tictUhe refractory soldier to one end of it by his. hands and feet, somethinz after the st vie of a dip net. and balancing the, pole on the stke he camunl him to be let down into the' water. As this was aUHit 3Jay in a warm latitude. if firsfr scemea to amuse the soldier, and hs angled at the experiment. But. his open mouth .caused him. to ship too much water, and as the process of dippiag went on inex orably and seemed about to be endless, lie was at last subjugsted, confessed his errors. and promised to give bo faore trowUe.; He kept his promise. The names of Capt. Kri dcr's company are on file in a printed volume' in the Clerk s office in Salisbury' :V 4 I In the mea time the war was drawing to a close, and a treaty of peace was agreed ot-on at Ghent, Dec 24th, 1814, ratified by the Prince Regent of England, the 28tb'of the same month, and bv tne United" States the 17th of Feb.! 1815. - Thffi ratification of the treaty was celebrated iq, Salisbury on the 4th of March, 1815, by processions, speeches and by a monster ball. The people danced all night, and at sunrise the next morning, Mr. Hugh Horah rang the Court House bell ss s signal for breaking up. At the close of tne war, every thing settled down into the peaceful routine of life. But the flame of patriotism burned brightly in the hearts of tlie people. Having made sac rifices to maintain their rights as a free peo ple, tbey endeavored to keep themselves re minded of the value of their heritage. Hence they celebrated two national festivals annu ally. One of these was the 22nd of February, the birth day of Washington. The death of this eminent man occurred on the 14th of December, 1729, "and lor a quarter of a century, afterwards there were many still living who had seen the "Father of his Country." His distinguished services were not forgotten, and the people loved to do honor to his memory. It is a pity that the lapse of nearly a century has so far displac ed his image from the memory of our peo ple, that they have forgotten even to notice the dav. The other anniversary was the Fourth of July, upon this occasion the Declaration of Independence was read, patriotic speeches were made, toasts were drunk, and as a mat ter of coorse.the ceremonies wound np with a ball, at some spacious hall or public par lor. From these scenes we will turn to some of another character,, in our next chapter. -The catalogne of the Bingham School for the ear I860 is before ns.
