MOORE COUNTY PAPERS
(Concluded from page nine)
as some bones were found years
afterwards at or near the place
of their encampment no doubt
could be entertained that he was
put to death.
AT KENNETH'S BLACK 'S
Early on Sabbath morning they
left their camp ground and came
down to David Buchan's where
they found some trace chains
which had been taken from the
Piney Bottom, but not finding him
at home they set fire to the house
and then came on to old Kenneth
Black's. He lived where Laughlin
McKinnon now lives but in the old
field east of the creek. They sur
rounded the premises but he and
his son were lying out in a place
of concealment a quarter of a
mile or more from the house.
Culp and some of his men found
them and took them to the house.
Both doors being open the men
rode into the house until it was
full of horses and the family were
crowded up into the chimney.
Having done so they rode out,
alighted, and commenced splitting
some "light wood" to burn the
house, but concluded that they
would first search it, which they
did. On going up stairs they
found and broke open two large
chests belonging to the families
of Captains Verdy, Nicholson and
McRae who were in the British
Army and who had left their
families under the care of Mr.
Black as their houses were not
far apart. One chest was filled
with China ware, which they
broke, and the other was full of
books, which they strewed over
the . floor having first cut open
their backs and rendered them
useless.
FLORA MACDONALD'S DAUGHTERS
At this time the far-famed
Flora McDonald lived four miles
north of the scene which we have
been describing, upon a plantation
belonging to Mr. Black on Little
River and the one on which his
son Malcom Black, now lives. Mr.
Black's family having had the
small pox two daughters of Flora
came over to see their friends and
his family, but to their utter sur
prise they found the Whigs there,
who took the gold rings from
their fingers and the silk hand
kerchiefs from their necks, then
putting their swords into their
bosoms, split down their silk
dresses and taking them out into
the yard stripped them of all their
outer clothing.
During all these transactions
one man was observed sitting
near Colonel Wade who, as well
as the Colonel, seemed to pay no
attention to what was doing but
looked serious and even melan
choly. Mrs. Black asked him why
he was not gathering up some
thing to take away as well as the
rest to which he replied that he
did not come there to plunder,
for she had nothing he wanted
"But, my son! my son!" was his
abrupt and pathic exclamation, by
which the impression made on her
mind was that he was the father
of that motherless little boy who
was such a favorite of Colonel
Wade and his company and who
had been so cruelly murdered
shortly before in the Piney
Bottom.
A RUSE DE GUERRE
Having collected their plunder
and mounted their horses just
ready to start Mrs. Black said to
them. "Well, vou have a bad com
panion with you." "What is
that?" was the inquiry, and she
replied, "the small pox." Instant
ly they threw down the blankets,
clothing and everything else of
the kind that they had taken and
rode off in great haste. They
took Mr. Black along to pilot
them down to Mr. Ray's, but
after going about half a mile, pro
bably thinking there might be
danger of getting the small pox
from him they told him he might
return home. Some of the men
proposed shooting him down, but
Culp told them to go on while he
stayed behind with Black for his
protection. After going the dis
tance of about a hundred yards
one of them turned round and
fired at Black with his rifle, but
the ball missed him and passed
very near Culp's head, who
ordered them with a loud stern
voice to go on and behave them
selves. They pursued their course
then, and when they got to the
fork in the road some went to
Alexander Graham's and some to
Alexander Black's, the place on
which the Honorable Laughlin
Bethune now lives, at both of
which places a similar course was
pursued and with similar results.
When those who took the road
