CHIEF
HISTORY
"-V ,
OF HEVBERH
In The Event of the Bi Centen
niafit Would Be Well to Give
Some Idea of its
. , - History
In the year 1708 six thousand Paeatin-
nea,' who tad been persecuted by their
prmce mainly on account of their ad
herence to Protestantism, and whose
country had been plundered by a French
army which had crossed the- Rhine for
the purpose, fled from the continent and
sought refuge and protection in England
under Qaeen Anne.
Lewis Mitchell had been previously
employed by the Canton of Berne, in
Switzerland, to select a tract of land
in this country to which they might Send
a colony, He directed his researches
mainly to tbe country which now con
stitutes the State of Pennsylvania, and
aa many of the descendants of thope
who originally settled tbe town of New
Berne subsequently removed to that
State, there can be but little doubt that
there may be found among the Ger
mans there some most interesting rel
ics and reminiscences of the earlv set
tlement of this section of the State.
It waa determined to send the Pala
tine refugees to America, as their nec-
cessities compelled them to live in tents
not far distsnt from the city of Lon
don. The Lords Proprietors therefore
agreed with Christopher Emanuel De-
Graff enreid and Mitchell that ten thous
and aqres of land be allotted to them in
a body between the Neuse and Cape
Pear Rivera, and Mitchell and DeGraf-
fenreid agreed to bring over six bund
red and fifty persons," or one hundred
families, for a stipulated sum, and set
tle thorn in the Province of Carolina.
In the month of December 1709 they
arrived and landed at the confluence of
the Neuae and Trent Rivers.
A FAINT REMINISCENCE
There is a reminiscence, but' a faint
one of this memorable event. These
persecuted, but hardy adventurers, are
said to have first put their feet upon
American soil near the spot where the
store of John Briasington lately stood
on Craven street. A small branch ran
through the lots, now the property of
the Merchants Bank of New Bern and
James Riggs, and ente-ed the Trent
river near the spot designated above.
and at it's mouth waa the landing then
used by ' the little colony. Between
this branch and a cypress gut, or pond,
which made up into the land at the foot
of Broad -street, covering the , lots to
the South, rose a bluff of ground which
waa then well known as the famoUB
Council Bluff of the Indians, and to a
citizen of New Bern who feels a juut
pride In the early hiBtory of the town,
the contemplation of the ruin and de
struction by the fire of the magnificent
live oak tree which crowned the sum
mit of this bluff, and beneath whose
umbrageous foliage many a grave and
fearful council was hell by the In liana
must bring with it feelings OfdisconT
aolate sadness. It was in ancient times
tha great landmark of the Colony; this
tree too was planted by the Indians!
and there it stood in . lone and silent
majesty, the great reminiscent link be
tween the past and present age. If it
could have bean permitted to have told
it's tale of by-gone days, howelequent
ry interesting would it have been. Nay;
If U could have been spared, the ravag
es Are, -it would long hav been the
only of living monument of early time,
(This tree was destroyed by firsTln
