How men Die.
It we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better en
abled to ward off the danger and postpone
the moment when surrender becomes in
evitable. In many instances the inherent
strength of the body suffices to enable it
oppo-e the tendency toward c'eath. Many
however have los' these forces to such an
extent that -there is little or no help. In
other cates a little aid to the weakened
Lungs will maLe all the difference between
sudden death and many years of useful
life. Upon the first symptoms ot a Oough,
Cculd or any troahle of the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and well known rem
dye Boscliee's German Syrup, a careful
trial. It will prove what thousands say of

HISTORY OF LIN
COLN COUNTY
Published by Order of
the Teacher's Insti
tute and Others.
BY A.NIXON, SUlj:itIi TEN
DENT OF P IT III. I V IS
STRITCTION.
By charter bearing date March
24t.li, 1C63, and enlarged in 16G5,
King Charles II. granted to eight
Lords the princely territory extend
ing from Virginia to Florida and
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
They named their country Carolina,
in compliment to their king, from
the Latin word Carolus for Charles.
The names of these lords were Al
bemarle, Ashley, John Berkeley,
William Berkeley, Carteret, ClarenM
don, Colleton and Craven. Except
Sir William Berkeley, who was Gov
ernor of Virginia, none of these ev
er visited their immense grant.
Their possessions did not yield them
much advantage, and on the 25th
of July. 1729, the representatives
of seveu of the Lords conveyed
their interest in this territory to the
Crown, receiving each therefor the
sum of two thousand five hundred
pounds sterling. John, Lord Car
teret afterwards, Earl ot Granville,
as the heir of bis father. Sir George
Carteret, (who died in 1696) refused
to sell his one. eighth interest in the
soil, although he ceded the right of
government. In 1744 he signed a
qnit claim for seven-eighths of the
territory on condition that the
Crown set off to him his one-eighth
interest. This was done and the
territory lying between the parallels
of 30 30' (the Virginia line) and 35
34' North latitude, and from the
Atlantic to the Mississippi river
vas allotted to him in eeveraltv
The southern boundary line ot his
portion ran near the old town ot
Bath, and through the present towns
of Snow Hill and Princeton; it
iormed the southern bonndary of
the counties of Chatham, Bandolpb,
Davidson, Kowan and Iredell, and
the noitnern boundary of Moore,
Montgomery, Stanley, Cabarrus and
Mecklenburg. It was also ouce the
line between Tryon atd Kowan and
afterward between Lincoln and
Burke, as will be demonstrated las
ter: This line crossed the Catawba
river at the Mecklenbuig and Ire
dell corner about one mile above
Beattie's Ford. One of the large
poplars that stands near Sydney J.
Forney's shops about one mile from
Denver is a marked tree on this line.
It passes between three and a half
and four miles north of Lincoiuton,
and ont of the county at the "3
county corner,the corner of Lincoln,
Burke and Cleveland. The rectan
gular shape of Randolph and other
counties within the limits of his do
main is caused by their boundaries
coinciding with or being parallel or
perpendicular to his northern or
Southern lines.
At the time of the transfer of the
province from the Lords Proprietors
to the Crown, it was divided into
counties, precincts and parishes,the
government conforming to that of
the Church of England. The coun
ties were two in number, Albemarle
and Bath, and were divided into
thirteen precincts ; New Hanover,
established in 1728, was a preeinct
of Bath county. It was so called
in honor of the House of Hanover
then on the English throne. Its
eastern limits were the same as to i
day, the great Atlantic Ocean. We
will now follow the changes takiug
place to the west ami note the for
mation of new counties.
Bladen precinct was formed in
1734 from New Hanover precinct
aud called iu honor of Martin Bias
den, one of the Lords Commission
ers of Trade and Plantations. It
was bounded as follows, viz. : "Be
giuniug at the mouth of Livingston's
Creek and bounded by said creek to
the head thereof, and then by a
west line to the bounds of the gov
ernment and that the said precinct
be bounded to the northward by
Black river, &c'' Bladen then com
prebended the whole of the SUte
west ot this line as far as the limits
of North Carolina extended. At
tention is directed to the lact that
in the formation of new counties the
line only cutting off is given, the
western terminus seeming to be the
indefinite one jost ctted,"the bounds
of the govern inent."
At the Assembly held in Newbern
in 1738 an act was passed establish
ing the office of Sheriff in the place
of lb Marshall and his deputies in
the pioviuce and by it the original
counties were abolished aud the
precincts erected into countief.Thia
made the precincts of New Hanover
and Bladen, counties
In the winter of 174344 Lord
Granville's line was rnn from the
coist to the town ot Bath, and in
the spring of 1746 from Bath to
Peter Parker's house ou tbo north
west eide of the Cape Fear river,
now the south east corner of Chat
ham county. The reasons given by
the commissioners for uot continu
ing the line at that time(10th April,
1746) was among others that it was
not. then practicable, the country,
tney said, "being very thinly peo
pled, nor can we be supplied with
corn tor the horses or provisions for
ourselves, and those employed by
uy, there being no inhabitants that
can assist us wedt of the Saxapahaw
river.' 1 This river to-day is known
by simply the last syllable of its
long name, flaw River. When they
stopped running and made the
above report they agreed to meet
the 22nd of the ensuiug September
and continue the line westward to
the Mississippi at which time it is
suppost d the line was lun through
this section. Settlers came in
about this time very rapidly. On
the 28th of June, 1753, President
Rowan wrote that in the year 1746,
tie was in the territory comprising
the counties of Anson, Orange and
Rowan, and that there were then
not above one hundred and fifty
fighting men in all that country,
whereas at the time be wrote there
were at least three thousand, most
ly Irish Protestants and Germans
and their numbers were daily in
creasing. In those days this section of the
country that is now filled with beau
tiful homes and fine farms, dotted
with towns and villages and noisy
witu tne bum ot machinery was a
wilderness inhabited by the wild
and savage Indian. The woods and
prairies abounded in wild animals.
There were herds of light-footed
deer. There were clumpy brown
bears, and fierce wildcats and pan
thers. There were droves ot buffa
loes, aud plenty of beavers building
their dams on the creeks. Wolves
were numerous even at the time of
the Revolutionarv war. We still
have Indian, Beaver Dam and Buf
faio Creek-, Bear Ford, Wolf Gulch,
aud Buffalo Mountain. Buffalo
Shoal, as well as the Catawba.Tuck
asegee, aud many beautifnl Indian
names, memorials of these primeval
days. The early settlers waged a
relentless war on these animals and
set a bounty on many of their scalps.
The records of Tryon Court show
the paying of t4scalp tickets" to have
been the principal item of County
expense. For killing a grown wolf
the price paid was one pound ; a
young wolf ten shillings; a wildcat
five shillings. Take the year 1774
for instance, and there were audited
in favor of various individuals,forty
nine wolf scalp tickets.
As those who penetrated the wes
tern wilds became remote from the
seat of government, a new county
wonld be demanded. The valley of
the Pedee was rapidly settled up
and iu response to a petition settiug
forth that there were from eight
hundred to twelve haudred inhabit
taats on the Pedee and that the
Court House of Bladen was about
one hundred miles from tbe-Bearet
inhabitant, the Legislature in 1749
erected a new county, the boundary
between it and Bladen being the
Little Pedee River to the head of
its maiu branch and thence a line
equi-distant between the Haw and
Great Pedee river, and all wesc of
said line was called Anson county.
Only last week our Register tf
Deeds obtained from the Secretary
of State a copy of a grant for COO
acres of land out here on Indian
Creek, which was entered in 1753,
white this territory was in Anson
and sigueu by Matt. Kowau, who
was president of the Seuate and
acting Governor from the death of
Johustou to the inauguration of
Dobbs.
On the 15th of February, 1751,
Gov. Johnston wrote to the Board
of Trade that inhabitants flocked in
daily, mostly from Pennsylvania and
other parts of America already
overstocked with people, and some
ditectly from Europe. Many thou
Hand people, he said, had come m,
settling mainly in the west so that
they had nearly reached the moun
tains. Oc the 11th December, 1762, u
was enacted that the county of Ant
won should he divided into two
counties by a line begiuning at L.ord
Carteret's line six miles northeast
from Captain Charles Hart's plan
tation ou Buffalo Creek, and to run
from thence io the mouth ot C'ear
Creek which empties itself into
Rocky River and from thence due
.south to the bounds of the province
of South Carolina, and that all that
part of the said county lying to the
westward of said dividing line
should thenceforth be one other dis
tinct county and parish, and called
by the name of Mecklenburg county
.tnd Saint Martin's parish. When
aid off this new county comprised
all the territory between the Gran,
'ille line and the South Carolina
me from Anson county westward.
:'he first deeds registered in Book
No. 7 in the Register of Deeds office
?ere made when the present terri
ory of Lincoln was in Mecklenburg
ounty.
Anson derived its name from
xeorge. Lord Anson, who io early
i fe settled on the Pedee in South
Carolina. On the breaking out of
he Spanish war he re-entered the
i avy and was raised to the peerage
1 or many brilliant services including
' he circumnavigation of the globe
i i search of hostile Spaniards. Io
' 761 he was cnarged with the duty
f bringing to her marriage with
George III., Charlotte of Mecklen
l nrg, and hence carved out of An.
i m is the county ot Mecklenburg
ith the county seat at Charlotte.
In 1764 there came over from En
land a handsome,polished and ge
l ial officer who wore the uniform of
t le Queen's Guards. He succeeded
'.rov. Dobbs, and lett a name that
v ill never be forgotten iu North
Oaroliua. Gov. Tryon was accom
jranied by his wife and her sister.
Miss Esther Wake, whose family
name is still preserved in our midst
us the name of our metropolitan
county. His administration lasted
f om the death of Gov. Dobbs on
tie 28th day of March, 1765, to the
3)th of June, 1771.
In 1768 Mecklenburg county was
divided and the western portion
c illed Tr on in compliment to the
Boyal Governor. It was divided "by
a line beginning at Earl Granville's
liae where it crosses the Catawba
river, and the said river to be the
liae to the South Carolina line,
and that all that part of the connty
1 ing to the westward of the said
dividing line shall be one other dis
tinct county and parish and remain
by the name of Tryon connty and
Stint Thomas Parish." The Cataw
t i river is the present eastward and
and the oldest boundary line of the
present county of Lincoln. In 1776
the settlements bad extended be
yond the present limits ot the State
and the colonists were fighting for
iLdependence.
The name of the royal governor
having become odious, in 1779 it
was blotted from the county of Try
on and its territory divided into
two counties "by a line beginniug
at the south line near Broad River
on the dividing ridge between Buf
falo Creek and Little Broad river,
thence along said ridge to the line
of Burke county and all
that part of the taid county which
lie') on the east of said line shall be
called aud known by the name of
Lincoln county and all that part of
the county which lies on the other
or west side thereof shall be called
by the name of Rutherford county."
Lincolu took its name from Maj.
Geu, Benj. Lincoln, who was at that
time fighting the battles or bis coun
try against the British at Cbarles-
ton, and afterwards, on accoaotof
cis great services, was appointed to
receive the sword of Cornwallis at
Yorktown. Rutherford was so
called In honor of Griffith Rutherford
a Brigadier-general in the Revolu
tionary war. Thus, as might have
beu expected, it is seen that our
forefathers early showed their ap
preciation of those who helped to
yaiu our Independence.
The predecessor ot'iryon, Anhir
Dobbs, wart appointed Royal Gov
ernor in 1754 ; a county named after
hiru was, in 1791, divided into the
counties of Glasgow and Lenoir.
Thus another name offensive for our
association with oppression was
quietly shelved. Glasgow county
wis named for James Glasgow, el
ected Secretary of State for North
Carolina iu 1776. Having been tried
atd found guilty of issuing traadu
Ie.it patents to the Continental soU
dier?, his dishonored name was ex
punged aud Glasgow county was
forgotten in the substitution of that
of Greeue, a memorial of the great
ar d untarnished man and soldier of
tie Revolutionary War, General
y ithaniel Greeue.
The county of Wake came near
s baring the same fate as the others,
b t when the proposition was made
in the Legislature to change its
o; me, it was replied that the county
w is named after a woman who was
a: charming in manner as lovely in
pt rson, and with one consent our
gUlant ancestors declared that the
m me should remain as a memorial,
nr t only of the beauty and attract
ions of Esther Wake, but ot the
g llantry ot our forefathers.
While it would be interesting to
fi low the tide of emigration as it
spread westward and note the con
sequent formation of new couuties,
th ) remainder of our time will be
d : voted to tqe .discus8ion of Lincoln
c mty. First, however, as a por
ti n even of the Lincoln of today,
11 -3 in the former possesatons of
L rd Granville, we will briefly no
tice the establishment of some of
tl i counties above his line. In 1753
Ar son connty was divided by a line
to begin where the Anson line was
to cross Earl Grauvilie's line, and
fnm thence in a direct line Noith
to the Virginia line, thence with
tb j Virginia line westward aud to
tb 5 southernmost line of Enl Gran
ville's land aud erected into a couu
ty and parish by the name of Row.
an county and Saint Luke's Parish.
As established it comprised most of
tbM western part of North Carolina
and most of Tennessee, This was
ca':led for Matthew Rowan, at that
time President of the Senate, and
wto, for a short time after ihe death
of Johnson, was in place of the Gov-,
err or. At April sessions, 1775, ot
the. Court of Pleas and Quarter Ses
sions, Tryon county, this entry in
male, "Ordered by th couit that
Jaiob Ramsanr be appointed over
seer of the road leading from Indi
an Creek by Ramsaur's Mill to Ro
wai county line."
In 1777 Rowau county was "di
vided by a line, beginning at the
Catawba river as the line between
Rowau and Tryon counties thence
up the meadow of said river to the
North end of an Inland kuown as
the Three Cornered Island thence
North &c" and all the territory
west and south of the said line was
erected into a new and distinct
connty by the nam of Burke, in
honor of Thomas Borke, afterwards
Governor of the State. The road
orders after this date refer to Ihe
road from Ratnsaui's Mill to the
Bu:ke county line.
At Hillsboro in 1782 it was en
acted "That a line be rnn as fol
owr, viz. Beginning at the Shar
rol's Ford, leading toward Henry
Wbitners as tar as M a thew Wilson's,
the ice a direct course to Simon
flu es on the waters of Clark's
Creik, thence a direct course to the
Fish Dam Ford ot the South Fork
of tie Catawba river between James
Wilson and David Robinson, and
froti thence a south we6t course to
Ear! Granvill's old line.'' The por
tioD of BuTke south east of (-aid
line was added to Lincoln connty.
In 1784 it was enae'ed "That
the boundary line between the
counties of Barke and Lincoln shall
hen after be as follows, to wit : Be
giauiiog at the Horse-ford on the
Catawba river, running thence to
John Hawnson's Hendry river,
thence to William Oirison's, Jacob
liver, aud thence to the intersec
tion of the counties of Burke, Lin
coln and Rutherford as they now
stand "The bonndary of Lincolu
stood thus until 1841, a period of
fifty seven years and I am able to
exhibit to you a good map of the
old county found among the record
in the clerk's office.
Now to Htimuiarize you will ob
serve that Liuoolu county was form
ed 1779 fro:i Tijon which in ihat
year wat divide l rito Lincoln and
Rutherford; Tryou elected iu 1708
from Mecklenburg; Mecklenbuig in
1762 from Anson ; Anson in 1749
irom Bladeu ; Bladen iu 1731 ironi
New Hanover; aud Ntw iianover
iormed in 1728 was a precinct of
Bath couuty.
As those old counties became
popular they were subdivided until
today they cover a small space on
the map of North Carolin.
It may be of interest to observe
that tie couuties formed fiom the
time Graovill's liue was run until
tte Revolution observed his line.
During this time Granville had his
land offices in operation. But the
wiroftbe Revolution put an end
to his possessions. Not satisfied
w.th the arbitrament ot arms he
instituted suit in the circuit court
of the United Stat?s at Raleigh. It
wont by appeal to the. Supreme
Court at Washington, aud duiing
the present century was dismissed
fo: want of an appeal bond.
It is further ioteristing to uote in
connection with tbe Proprietary
Government the origin ot "North
Carolina". The charter of 1603
grauted to the Lords Proprietors
th) land from the Spanish p sees
siou of Florida to the "Nt tth ,fud
of an island which lyeth iu the
Southern Virgiuia Seas aud witbi j
six aud thirty six degrees Northern
latitude,'' aud from these points
"West in a direct line to the South
of thirty-six degrees ruu South of
Edentou, Hillsboro and Greensboro.
By the second charter iu 1665 their
boundary was extended northward
to thirty -six degrees thirty minutes
the Virgiuia liue For a number of
years when "North Carolina'' was
spoken of only the additional ter.
ritory covertd by the recent char-
ter was referred to tbat covered by
the first being called ''Carolina."
In the couree ot time "North Caro
lina" came to embrace all the tei i i -tory
noith aud east ot the Cape
Fear, the other portion being called
simply "Carolina.'' Finally Caroii
na was divided into the provinces
by legal enactment by a liue begin
ing yet further to the south, the
contentions between North Carolina
aud South Caroliua over its exact
location exteuding eveu dou to the
present.
The first slice taken from Lincoln
was in 1841 to form with a slice
from Rutherford the county of
Cleveland. This divided Lincoln by
a line from the corner of Burke
county 'to the thirteen miiepost ou
the Lucas Ford Road, thence to the
twelve miiepost on the New Post
Road leading from Rutherford to
Lincolnton, thence to the twelve
miiepost leading from Liucolntou
to Quinn's Ferry 7 &c. This line as
receutly run in the opposite direc
tion from the charter, begins at the
Gaston corner and rans North
thirty seven degrees west one bunt
dred and twentyeigbt poles to the
twelve miiepost ou the New Posts
Koad ; thence north twenty degrees
west eight hnndred and fifty two
poles to the thirteen miiepost on
the Lucas Ford Road ; thence north
twenty eeven degrees and thirty
seven minutes west one thousand
five hundred and fifty poles to stone
iu ttie south side of old County-line
road ; this line continued to the
Burke corner cut off and leftbei
tween Lincoln and Cleveland a pon
lion of Rutherford county.
In 1842 it was enacted "Tbat all
that portion ot Rutherford county
lying betweeu tne counties of Lin.
coin and Cleveland be ceded to and
make a part of the county of Cleve-
located reus from the stone on south
