Kenansvllle. -- At a point where the State highway crosses the old" Wilmington road, a short distance -from Rockfish bridge on. the Du plin side, stands a State highway historical -marker designating the site of the battle of Rockfish in 1781. 'v....-v,:,r.;, This battle was fought at a time When everything -' looked very gloomy : for the American cause. Already, during that year. Lord Cornwallis had passed through the section on his march from Wilming ton to Yorktown. The British forces had moved Into this State from South Carolina. .Major James H. Craig had taken possession of Wil mington, then a small town of about one thousand people, in the early .part of the year. Near the town he set up what was called a "bull pen" for his captives and it is said that some were very harshly treated, including Thomas Burke, the Gov ernor of the State, About the same time he established an outpost at Rutherford's mill in what is now Pender County. He was very active in enlisting the natives, called Tor ies, and carried on. a campaign of cruelty, plunder and destruction. In July he declared that all who failed to enlist under the British banner by the first day of August would be destroyed and their prop erty taken. His numbers, supplies, arms and ammunition could 'not be successfully resisted. The result was general destruction throughout the section. In the meantime Colonel James Kenan of Duplin, an able and ex perienced leader in the American cause, gathered all of his forces at Rockfish bridge, near the present town of Wallace. There he com menced preparation to prevent, If possible, any further invasion of eastern Carolina. He was joined by Major Griffen with about ISO men who were sent to his aid by order of FIRST IN HISTORY Governor Names Negro To High Place; 'State Board 01 Education Governor Kerr Scott last week ap pointed a Negr6 college president to the. State Board of Education, and the . legislature quickly ap proved. The Governor, who has stated he plans to give Negroes greater representation on the state boards and commissions, appointed Dr. H. L. Trigg, president of St. Augustine college, as a member at large of the board. He will be tWe' first Negro member. Kvory one wants to help. The easiest way is to buy your ticket to the Duplin Stiiry' General Caswell, making a total oi bout 400 men. Immediately fol lowing Major Craig's last day of grace for all men to join the Brit ish colors, he set out on a tour of subjugation and destruction, and his plans were very successful. He reached Rockfish "bridge on the second day of August, 1781, and promptly opened , the artillery pn Colonel Kenan's breastworks. At the same time Kenan's men were completely surprised to find them selves attacked in the rear by Cap tain Gordon, an experienced Brit ish cavalryman, with about 80 fast horsemen and two companies of artillery. In such a situation Ke nan's officers and -men acted, with becoming bravery but there was no hope for holding tacit the in vaders. Without an immediate es cape,., certain . destruction , woull have been the result for the Ameri can soldiers. Only a small number of them were, wounded; captured and made prisoners, and only two or three of the number were lulled. Reports vary as to the number. CoL William Dickson,-then Clerk of the County' Court, reported that he narrowly escaped from being captured. ' Captain Thomas James received special mention from Col onel Kenan for bravery in action. Major. Craig proceeded on his march and spent several days in Duplin. In the Grove, settlement (Kenansvllle) he selected the home of Colonel Thomas RouUedge for his headquarters and during his stay the .men were engaged in burning homes of patriot leaders, destroying crops, stealing live stock and provisions, etc. ' Captain Gor don, who led the horsemen at Rock fish was killed on themarch i New Bern. 'r Major Craig was considered one of the best of the British officers. Sometime after the war he was honored' by his country with an ap pointmont as Governor-General of the British Dominion of Canada. ' ' : Colonel Kenan was a very able and . conspicious military leader, Soon after the close of the war he was appointed Brigadier-General for the Wilmington district of State militia, and from that time he is referred to in the public records as General Kenan. He was Sheriff when only 22 years of age, Legis lator, member of , State Constitu tional Conventions, ' Councilor of State and a trustee of . the Stato University. His tomb is on a plan tation near Baltic. station and near' me ; Liupun-sampson county une . After' the war, son of General Kenan married a daughter of Cap tain; James.'
