Sir Walter Scott describes this "hold clerk of Copmanhurst" as a "large strong built man in a sack cloth gown and hood, girt with a rope of rushes " He had a round, bullet head, and his close shaven crown was edged with thick, stiff, curly black hair. His countenance was bluff and jovial eyebrows black and bushy, forehead well turned, cheeks round and ruddy, beard long, curly and black, form brawny a pugnacious, clerica1 Falstaff.

Seeks Family History. I am a granddaughter of Jacob D. Julian, whose grandfather, Isaac Julian, came to Wayne county, In dians, in 1809 from Randolph coun ty, North Carolina. Isaac Julian and brother, Rene, and Bisters, Mtry Odell, Rebecca Frezier, Catharine Long and Abigail Trogdon, were all born at Wincnester, Va., and with their father and mrher, Julian and Barbara White Jul.an, moved to Randolph county shortly after Brad dork's defeat in 1755. Iaac Ju lian had brothers Peter, George, Rene and John, who with their fam ilies moved to R tndolph county with him. Mary Julian was the oldest of Issric's children, and she was about fifteen years of age when her father moved to North Carolina. Ibis shows that all of the children mnst have married after their re moval to North Carolina. Istac nurried Sarah Long, daughter of Tobias Long, and gianddaughter of Edward Long, who came to ttu country with William Penn's flet. Records do not show wbo were tbe wives of either Tobias or Eiward Long. In the Federal census of North Carolina taken in 1790, 1 find no mention of Tobias Long. Iu one place there is a r cord of one Edward Long, but he could not have been tbe father of Tobias, for he would suiely have been dead long before 1790. I shou'd not omit saying that the father of Isaac Julian was Rene Sr. Julian, who fought in the batt.li of tbe Boy ne in 1690, and started shortly afterwards for this country, stopping en route at the B'rmudis, where he m irried Marzarat Bullock. Just when he arrived on the sbor s of North Carolina is not kr own, but it wis not long afterwards. Juei where he settled in North 0 volina the family does not know, but he did not rem tin long, for he lost two children, and considering tbe cli mate unhealthy, he moved nor'h ward. After Briddook'j defea', bis children with their families moved bck to North Carolina into Ran dolph county. ' - I have gone so much into parfcicu lars because I am desirous or insti tuting a search fur further data,and it seemed to me that perhaps you were one who could put this letter into tbe hands of rome descend tut of the family who still lives in Kai dolph o untv, or, if there is a Nort-i Carolina Elstoric! Assooia'ion, nsfc them to publish what I have writ ten. I desire to b put in o two!) with any or all of the colUvral heirs. So much for tbe Julians. Now to tbe Ho .vers, ily gre:-grand-uiotber Julian was Rebecca Hoover, daughter of Andrew Hoover, who albO lived ia Randolph oouuty, xni who?e name appears in the Fednrvl census of North U-irnlina in 1790 His fatter, als Andrew, liuil broth era Jonas and Chr stian, but they a'l spelled their name "Huber." Tbe family ctme frrm Germany and settled on Pipe creek, Maryland, from thence going to Randolph county. The wif of Andrew L noir was Margaret Fonts, whom be married in Pennsylvania; the wife of Andrew, junior, was Elizibetb Wazmire, daughter of Rudolph Wkimire, wbo was one of the body guard of Frederick the Great, of Prussia, and fought in the battle of Dettengen in 1743, and who came to this country f com rianover,Germany. Andrew Hoover, junior, was born ia 17JI on Pipe Creek, Md. He re moved to Uaio from Randolph county in 1802, and thence to Wayne oounty, Indiana, in 1808. i desire .o be put inw uouuft witn tha oollat. rulQwver heirs wh i ranajad ia Jforth Uarulma or any of the da 'cendanta of.
