Chapter XXXI; In the year of our Lord, 1835 some notft ble events occurred In the hMjory of the county. I The village of 3Iurfrcesboro had greatly extended its limits3 j and many worthy men had been added' ltd the cata logue of its citizens. The Rer. Daniel Soathall, who was the brothej'j-ihMaw of Gov. Branch dwelt in the housepaowoccu' pied by Mr. Spencer; His son!; John W. fckmthall in1 the bric&- building! 'itlow owned by Mr. E. C. WorrelK Across! the street was James Morgan Opposite j hived John Wheeler. . Dr. 0Dwyer had jtwo profes sional' competitors in Drs. Birlaad and Lawrence O'Brigan. Patrlck ferown and t&e two brothers, William and Ijoseph! G. Rhea, were still prominent merchants. One hotel was kept by Williara Uorbctt, the other, known as Indian) Queen, by Moses Clements, late an officar m the Vir- ginia corps led by the distinguls hed Gvn. Winficld Scott in the battle of! Chippewa and Lundy'aLane, William ft Murfxec Thomas naa removed - to Tennessee ana Manney was alone-in his glory as a lawyer, Capt. Ben. Wynns had given! tip the sea and settled down to his fireside nd matri mony. Col , J ames BrlckoU, tbjeUast of his name in Hertford i county, and pr. Isaac Pipkin, who that year married! the widow of Gen. Joseph F, Dickerson, limst com plete this list of ancient worthies who have all passed from the land of the Rvlng, J On Feb. '25th the village was hrown into a fever of excitemen over thejj.jfact that Gilbert Motier Marquis deLaf ayjejtte was in Suffolk on his way to visit the; town. He was no ordinary guest. A half- century before he had left his young wife and the splendors of court life in ParM and had K" shed his blood in behalf of thej jiitruggliug colonies. He had been a great aijid blame less actor since that time in the French Revolution. He had landed in jSTew York Aug. 15th of the previous year He had uncovered his frrey hairs at the tomb of his dead friend at.Mt. Vermon. Hq had been with the retired sage at Monticello, and as , guest of the nation, was visiting each of the States. j A town meeting was called,1 in which Dr. Barland presided and Willian Rhea was secretary. A committee existing of Col. Brickell, Dr. P.Bryan, Lewis M. Cow pcr -and' John W. Sou t hall were b proceed at once to Sumerton, to meet Gen. Lafay ette, to tender him a public dinner, and to invite and escort him to Murfreesboro. William Rhea, Dr. Borland,. James Morgan J. G. Rhea and Dr. O'Dwyer j were con stituted the committee of arrangements as tc the reception. jj Feb, 20th, 1825 damned dismally enough. All through the previous night the rain had fallen in incessant showers. Tee 'steaming moisture rose in a dense fog. Mong after the darkness of nighty had set irfj Gen La fa) ette aod his suite arrived. ilr. Monney in a speech of welcome greeted f he distin guished visitor, who very gracioud replied.. He must have grown, weary of ns ovation, ioir so-many, had to be introdeced and shake liandj.- it was eleven o'clock before they sat down to supper;' i,Largo crowds assem bled ilie next day. At ten-b'clopl on-Monday he started for. Northampton Court. There he- was . greeted by Chief Justice Taylor. He met and embraced his- old comrade Ool.: William Polk. f jThus he continuous !6je Ameri passed from tate to state In one! round of reverent greeting from can people. On Sept. 7th after! Congress had presented him with two hundred thous and- dollars- and', twenty-three thousand he sailed acres of publio land hi' Florida, home in, the new frigate,. Brandy wine. Witk rare delicacy: the Govertii&ient had named, her in honor of- the fu at battle in which1 he-participated' in America.- and in which engagement ho was severe'y woun ded; ( ty: , '. . . Ealy iniMrch the f ashionab iV e people of Kastera. North Carolina were greatly ex cited by the approaching nuptials of Mr. f Govah, member of Congress from South Carolina who was to wed the Ifair Mary Hugh Jones,- a great belle and-'lieiresa in Northampton. Onth eTeningjc;Mach 8th,-Mrs Collins,- the wifeof jCapt; Jo 6iah. Collins,- of Edentony !witner two- daughters arrived with a coach and four on her way1 to the wedding. On the next dayjhe.bridegroora, accompanied by Gov. McDuff ie of South Carolina and j Mr. Ar cher also a prominent i"eprejBentitiv4 from Virginia, reached Alurfreesbbro rBi wed dings were still in VogUe, and Hertford had recently witnessed the marriage of Capt. John Jones, of Virginia to Esther Cotton, the widow, of the late James VVY Moore. Gapt. Jones wa the cousin of Willie and Gerr. Alien Jone?, and was an officer in the Virginia Continental Line during the Rev olution. He lived at a noblcf country seat near LawrercevilUr in Brunswick county, and bad much of the courtliness of his N. C. kinsman. Mrs, Jones' sister, the widow Johnston; had some years before! j married her j cousin Cornelius M core J of Rich Square. ',.-. U"- Oxs June 5th the Rev. Daniel Soutnall preached the funeral sermon of j Gen Tom. Wynns. This distinguished public servant had been for ehcht years, living in retire ment at Bar fields. His wife had preceled him to the grave and he was burietf by her side. Henry Slauney, her brother: was then owner of the old family homestead, where their remains were deposited. A great, sensation in the political world followed the election by the House of Rep resentatives of John Quincy Adams to the Presidency of the United Slates. Gen An drew Jachson had received a plurality of the electoral vote, but wes defeated bv the accession" of Mr. Clayand his friends to the successful candidate. It aroused much iDdignation. John Randolph of; Roanoke with his accustomed bitterness denounced the election as a coalition betwean the Black Leg and the Puritan. The Wronged and indignant Kentuckian held him respon sible and a duel was the consequence. Henry Clay was no doubt conscientious in his policy, but it iesulted in his estrange ment from the Democratic party, he had so nobly led for years past in the Hopsc of Representatives. He alone of thbse con nected, sustained himself before the con stituents. Every other Southern j member of Congress, who supportod Mri Adams was remanded to private life. 1 Hertford county returned James Cope land to the Senate and John Vann and Isaac Carter to the House in the General Assembly of that year (18&5). j Barlett Yancy again presided in the upper House and John Stantly in the other. Daring this session and a poition of the next the able member of Craven continued in this exalted position. He was then j stricken with paralysis anJ disabled from all'future usefulness. The taint of bloodshed on the human soul ii a fearful penalty to gratified revenge. When the first Gov. Spaight was yet warm in his grave, in a letter to Gov. Williams, John "Stantly had been pro phetiCi when he said, he should not cease to deplore the fatal consequences of that duel, i e was forgiven and greatly hon ored, but neyer forgot his dead victim. Several new men destined to prominence and usefulness had appeared recently in public life. Another Richard- Dobbs Spaight was a member from Craven ; and hacl inherited many of the shining equalities in the character of his famous father. The sagacious and successful John I Motley Morehead of Guilford, initiated movements that were to bring him fame and fortune. A rugged and massive intelligence was ob servable in young Alfred Dockery of Rich mond Modesty of demeanor j and great perspicuity of statement, marked5 William H. Battle, then member for Franklin, A fluent elocution and evidences of legal abil ity were seen in John Lancaster Bailey commoner for Pasquotank. But; greater and uglier than any of these was the learn ed, eloquent and versatile David L. Swain the self-made and glorious son of Bun combe. Long life, unceasing service and immortal fame were to be the guerdons of this young and unfriended mountaineer. CbAptrXXXII. ; The administration of John Quincy Adams was the signal for the return of much of the party strife, which had . characterized the rule of the second President , of the United States. Mr. Adams had been elec ted as a Republican, but the opposition to his administration wan composed exclusive ly of the gjeat leaders of that party . All of the Federalists were his supporters. In North Carolina they . did not assume this unpopular name;. ; but . political' divisions consisted of Jackson and anti-Jackson men. Parties-were not yet known4 as Whigs and Democrats; but mature Adarns 1 men, as a general . rule, hi" ai few years ill became member of the Whig party.- I t Hi In 1835 Lemuel Sawyer, who had been beaten two years before by Alfred M. Gat ing of Gates, once more became ! the rep resentative of the Edenton Congressional district. Gatling in turn was defeated and remanded to private life. CoK Sawyer was something of a genius and sometmie$ wrote dramas that were objectionable on the score of morality. Had John Ikimis and' other wits of the Restoration beenf alive, they mightlhave accused him' of reproducing their smut as well as sttaling tneijr thunder. He, was a sprightly and versatile. man; and to occasional hippoehondriar added an inordinary-love oiWashingtbneityif, When two ycax later; he was? def sated 1 by Wil- uam is. onepneraj ne never returned to North- Carolina,- but remained until' his death in the federal capital:- ' . In 1827 Henry Longr who; ocfeasionallj resided at Hill' Ferry! in Manney 's -Keck, returned tor his residence in- ilurf reestibro. He was much? ' respected' for ' the smothi ness of temper; and many virtues' as a man; He was eccentric as a lawyer,; but a favor Ite with, the members 1 of the;; bar. ;Many stories oi his- absence of mind are? still ' re membered. He married the only5 daugh ter of the late popular And pjolished Harry llil. Ih Manneys iCeck! likewise dwelt -Robert Pi ichoiaon' the originator of the excellent and ancient academy at Buckhorn. He opened this school as early as J.820, and for rpany yars conducted its 1 exercises' event alter he had become wealthy by marriage.! He jvas succeeded by a man named Dun bar, who presided over its fortunes until the advent of Mr. Warner. The building used for school iurpes in Jiicholison's time was Dot located immediately at Buckhorn, chapel, but was in the same neighborhood. Manney's Neck was at that date peopled by. some cultivated and many worthy men. Day Ridley after distinguished service in tneevoiuiion, nau Deen long id nis cjravt, but his virtues had abundant, continuation in the person of his son, Timothy Ridley. He was a most amiable and excellent man, and was the chairman of the Gounty court and was justly reverenced lor the kindness and benignity of his life. His nearest neigh bors were Richard G. Cowper, then sheriff of the county, John Waddell, Capt. Jethro Darden, and Tifhlman D- Vann- Jacob Hare, James Worrell, Elisha Brett and Walter Myrick dwelt nearer the Virginia line. I Winton had lost Levin Duers and Garri- i son Smith out John A. Anderson had mar ried the daughter cf the former, and was a resident of the village. He" was like Willie Jones in his aversion to office-holdiDg. No man in America felt a deeper interest in political movements, but he was never a candidate for popular favors. He succeed, ed Timothy Ridley as chairman of the county court and was a member of one or more of the governor's councils but his wealth and influence were invariably given m elections to his frieuds. Lewis M. Cow per became the clerk of the County Court as far back as 1821. lie was then a youDg man. For a half century he retained that position. In his prime he wa? unsurpassed in clerical abilities and unvarying kindness of manner. His cheerfulness and coutesy were never for a moment was laid asi !e, and through a long life he was ever a fa vorite with our eole, Near Winton dwelt Col. Pleasant Jordan. Six miles from him lived James Riddick. Farther east was "William Slaughter, Miles II. Jernigan and Abram Thomas. These were all active and useful citizens near the court House. Iu Mill Neck, Col. Starkey Sharpe, his nephews Starkey J. Harrell and John Winboine were leading men. The vil lage of Harrel'sville commemorates the name of Abner HarreP, who in addittioa to his agricultural interest, added large and successful mercantile operations lie was one of the founders and the -tain support of the Bethel Methodist Episcopal church, through many years. liis large charities, his unbroken kindness and unsuspected honesty were alike honorable to him and beneficial to the community in which he lived. He was a small man physically, but his uncommon cnerg made him a public benefactor through the greater poition of a century. Watson Lewis and Capt Spen cer Daniel were also prominent residents of this region. M In 1820 Eiisha Hunter Sharpe defeated James Copeland for 3 the Senate. Mr. Sharpe was the eldest son of-Jacob; Sharpe, whos father married Polly Moore, the sis ter of James Moore of St. John's, i Hunter Sharpe was largely indebted to his uncle for much of his pobition, for no man 111 our histoiy has been more highly respected for his many virtues than the first Col. Starkey Shaipe. He was rich but unbend ing in his integrity. He was never married and his nephews were in consequence, the recipients of large bounties at his hanus. The most intellectual of these was Starkey Sharpe Harrell, who'was noted for; his po litical knowledge and unbroken adhc-ieDce to the Democratic paity. He was the brother of Mis. Gordon, of Murfreesboro, who was the grandmother of William ft. n; Smith, at present the leading lawyer of North CareJina, and was also the i grand father of Thomas "R. Jernigan, late our Senator, who has inherited many of his ex. cejlencics of character; 1 ' i Gen. Montgomery and Leonard ! Martin were the same year chosen menbero of the house of (Common. Mr. Martin had recent ly jbecome a citizen, of the county. He had previously resided" in Pasquotank and had frequently represented that constituency in the Legislature, This was his onlyl&eivice to! Hertford county and be died in a short while thereafter at his residence ia' Win ton:- The Legislature elected James Iredell, of Chowan, governor. Bartlett Yancey for the' last time presided as speaker of the Senate. Thomas Settle of Rockingham, wasr chosen Speaker of the Houss. Richard M; Pearson, of Rowan hen first made his appearance in the political world. A great jurist was foreshadowed in the small, eagle-eyed young lawyer, and near him sat a fitj compeer, in David Franklin Caldwell,. the stern and beetle-browed member for Iredell. William D. Mosely oi Lenoir and SainuelT. Sawyer of Chowan - were; soon to become distinguished, but none of these compared in eloquence to' the fiery and erratic Hugh McQueen of Chatham, j Alas? for the Consuming fire of a genius which perishes in the redundancy of its own.
