area now embraced in Greene County became famous In North Carolina history long before there. was any Greene ^Crofarfr. $#&r ‘fee Resent towm_ of ifKffwr Wffl Was located the capital "fort of the Tus carora Indians, and there was laid possibly the only siege of an Indian fort in all the long history off "In dian wars in America. I am writing fr^na but I believe i am correct in saying that the battle with the Tuscaroras was the immediate cause of the location of the prominent Moore family of Wilming ton in North Carolina. For to fchfe hlfc ‘Of ?the 'fffiMern Carolinians came Col. James Moorfe of South fCafo lina> though the Colonies were ka\ yet undivided. Col. Moore’s South Carolinians, aided by .a lVrge In dian auxiliary force and the soldiers £r$n '£fie iafie marle section, after a hard battle received the un slain remnant of the besieged Indians in surrender and made such terms as finally resulted in the de Jfefttfre of at i&st a part of the cruel and treacher ifeb tffBfe to tfie tefetft iJat'es area of New York, rifeife *01# huffed Wffh 4&feir Hnsmen of the Five mmi . ... ..

North CarcWna Wstdry. that greatest of all the Indian battles in the State not only cleared the eastern part of the State df the drdad 'Tascafe/rhs tmt is accountable for whatever of service bias beeh achieved by the Moores in the State. ike Tuscaroras were led by Chief Hancock, a kaTf' breed Indian. The battle occurred in 1712, or 222 year^ ago. At that time there was pfobably not k white settler between Dunn and Wilmington. headers of tW State’s Voice have noticed mole hr liss ’frequent mention of the Granville line separating liord Granville’s eighth of the Catolfnas from the; seYeii-eigfcts sold by the other Lords 'Proprietors to the King. And here on the main street of Snow Hill one may notice a granite marker stating that the street tvas part of that Granville line. If ofle thinks of Carolina of whitih Granville retained an eighth as only North Carolina he would see from the line that it appears that he got a might big eighth. But the eight proprietors owned all the Carolinas, and Gran ville eighth was an eighth of both North and South Carolina as we know them today, the division taking place in 1729, 17 years after the battle with the Tus caroras. The Granville district stretched across the State, giving Lord Granville the magnificent northern area of North Carolina. The line extended probably hear what is now the Wake and Harnett line west ward, dividing Chatham and Moore counties, and marking the northern limit of the Scotch Highlander settlements of the middle of the eighteenth century, and swept oh westward, leaving Guilford, Forsythe, and the score of other upper N. C. counties m the Granville domain. That marker at Snow Hill was erected under the auspices of the Alerander McAllister Chapter of the D. A. R., of which Mrs. W. B. Mur phy is regent. Quoting from Mrs. Murphy. » And here. I can do no better than to quofe a part of an article upon Greene county history written by Mrs. Murphy and published in a d. A. R. issue of the New Bemian of October 12, 1927. Greene Formerly a Part of Dobbs. Mrs. Murphy wrote: “The lineage of Greene County, North Carolina, runneth thus: Johnston County was /formed from Craven in 1746 and named in honor of Gabriel Johnston, who was Royal Gov ernor at that time: in 1758 the General Assembly complimented Royal Governor Arthur Dobbs by lo cating the capital at Tower Hill and creating a new county from Johnston embracing the Seat of govern ment which was called Dobbs in his honor. “The area of Dobbs County at time of creation in cluded the present counties of Greene, Lenoir and Wayne. Wayne was separated from Dobbs and be gun Its existence fn 1777. The year 1791 marked the A vision of Dobbs County into Lenoir and Glasgow and in 1799 'Glasgow became Greene, , named for that peerless leader of the Atherican forces at the battle of Gnifforfl Courthouse, who next to the immortal Washington was the greatest general In the seVeh years’ war for American independence. Snow Hitt became the county seat and has confirmed So feVer Since. ... ‘^Greene County is full 'of historic interest.

Greene One of State’s Smallest Counties. “Greene County is comprised Uf an afea 6f 250 miles, an acreffge'of 161280 ftetes'of Which there aTe voider cultivation afiproxiinatefr acfr&s. The county, tenth smallest fn North Carolina, has fa •popu lation of about 16,500, ana tl& tfCarty yawe of her crops is "between five aha Wl ndnion dollars, There ■ are no large towns in the county but five of the finest small towns on earth. ;Snow Hill, the county seat, said to be the smallest town in the United States with paved streets, water works and electric lights,—HotfkOrton, Wjaistonburg, Mabry arid JasOn. There are three strong" batiks in the cOunty—at Snow Hill, Hookerton and Walstonburg.” - Till the advent of automobiles and good roads, Greene was almost utterly isolated, as it was without railroads. Snow Hill, nearly 150 years old, is one of the smallest county seats in the State, but what*it lacks in number of -people it largely makes up in the high quality of i{§ citizenship.
