To Be Bald September S3 by The Sdrtvatt and Plan Descendants. We are asked to republish the fol lowing contribution: The Stirewalt and Pleas descen dant! will have a joint assembly at Harris Chapel, two miles north of China Grove, on Friday, Septem ber 22nd. They invite all their friends and connections sad especi ally request all attending to bring well filled baskets. The program will be published la te It ia prdbwble that a native of Salisbury, now residing eteewhere, will be one of the speakers. However, then will be ministers, lawyers and others of the vwo zamiuea wno can and will make addressee tl st day. It ia deeiriona that any one having rec ords concerning these families, that they bring them along. The chief ends of this gathering is to trace the family Jiistories to the earliest set tler. Frederick, Adam and John Stire- walt were the first of the Stirewalt name in the state. Frederick was in tho Revolutionary war and John was the builder of the organ that gave Organ.' church its name. It is not known yet if they were brothers. TTbey settled in lower Lataker township near Ebenezer church and their desoend ants, with few exceptions, are still in this county and upper Cabarrus. Henry Plesg, who married Cather ine Shive in Germany, was the. pro genitor of all of the Pleas name in North Carolina. He settled in lower Rowan. One son, Martin, went to Arkansas and another, Joseph, to In- diana. Another eon, Henry, settled just over the Cabanns line and mar ried Elizabeth Stirewalt. me ehm ren ware Jacob, John, Mary, who mar ried Jacob Shaver; Catherine, who married Henry Fun ; Elizabeth who married Jdhn Barnngor and Henry, who married Sarah Stirewalt. Of the original Henry's daughter 'c nothing is known. A auite a lareo num'ber of these family connections reside in adjoin ing counties, the prmuoters will be grateful for any publicity given this gathering by the prose in those coun ties. It is hoped that a more con- venient location con. be 4ad for fu ture reunions, but ttiie can faardlv be decided until the residence -of all the Stirewalt and.Pless tribes is ascer tained. Among the speakers will be Rev. A. J. Stirewalt, Rev. M. L. Stirewalt, of Lenoir Collage, Hickory; Rov. C. R. Plcs8, of Concord1; Hon. J. W. Pless, Marion. N.
