SILVER SERVICE OWNED BY MRS MAGGIE WHITE PALMER
Warrenton Native And Silver
Service Featured In Newspaper
A Warrenton native and a
silver tea service connected
with the Civil War were
subjects of a recent feature
article in the Marlboro County
Herald of Bennettsville, S. C.
The tea service, given to
Mrs. John Key of Scotland by
the Confederate Commission
following the Civil War, is now
in the possession of Mrs. H.
W. Palmer of Bennettsville, S.
C. Mrs. Palmer, the former
Miss Maggie White, daughter
of the late Hugh White of
Warrenton and the grand
daughter of John White, who
headed the commission, is now
96 years old, still alert and
still able to write a legible
hand.
Mrs. White, in a recent let
ter, said that she Is the
namesake of Maggie White
Key, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John Key?and named by
her grandfather. It was
from the grandson of Maggie
White Key CMrs. M. W. Hutch
ison) that she received the
silver service. She said that
from early childhood she has
kept up a correspondence with
the Scotch kin which has con
tinued until the present time.
She added that her family
has many relatives in
Scotland.
An historical marker on
South Main Street in Warren
ton relates that John White
lived a short distance from
that point. His home was what
is now the resident of Mr.
and Mrs. H. R. Geddie.
The story of John White and
the commission is sketched
in Mrs. Montgomery's "Old
l'lmes in warrenton." it ryuds
as follows:
"In the early 60's - the time
of the Civil War - North Car
olina was at a loss as to how
to provide ships, food, and
clothing for the North Caro
lina troops. ZebulonB. Vance,
the Governor, appointed John
White of Warrenton, to go to
England and do this service.
He was a man well equipped
for such responsibility. He
was a Scotsman, having come
to America as a young man
with an older brother. He ac
cepted the honored position
and went to Edinburgh, taking
his family; there they re
mained for the duration of the

war. Because of the nature of
this mission, John White was
severely criticized until the
truth was known.
"Mr. John Key of Edin
burgh, brother-in-law of John
White?ami?a- pruminont ship
builder, assisted him unstint
ingly in procuring several
ships. The largest was named
Advance, compliinontary to
KAUfc ?}
Gov. Vance and his wile, Adel
aide. These ships ran the
blockade successfully until
black smoke from inferior
coal betrayed them. The side
board from the Advance is
in the Governor's Mansion in
Raleigh.
"After the war was over,
North Carolina wished to re
munerate Mr. Key for his
services but he refused to ac
cept anything. However, a
handsome silver service was
presented to Mrs. Key with the
following inscription:
"Presented Tog ether With
A Co/fee And Tea Service
To Mrs. John Key By John
White, T. M. Crosion And
J. J. Hughes Of
North Carolina As A Mark
Of Their Esteem For The
Disinterested And
Valuable Services
Rendered To The State
By Her Husband. 1863."
Mrs. Palmer is the name
sake of Maggie White Key,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
Key, and was named by her
grandfather. It was from the
grandson of Maggie White Key
(Mrs. M. W. Hutchison) that
Mrs. Palmer received the sil

hood she has kept up a cor
respondence with her Scotch
kin, which has continued un
til the present time. Mrs.
