Hampton Treated
Shamefully At
Gilbert Town
(Written for The ytar by \V. E.
White, Cleveland County Historian.) !
After the tight at Cane Creek and ]
the retreat of McDowell over the |
Mountains. Colonel Ferguson!
thought the War was virtually ended.
So when William Green, rode up!
with a ti’Oo pof cavalry and tender
ed his and their services for the de
fense of the Kings cause, the Brit-'
ish commander thanked them for
their loyalty; but declined their ac
ceptance for the reason that the
country was subdivld-d. and every -!
thing was quiet.
While this state oLal fairs existed.
Jonathan Hampton. . crippled pa
triot. was living in ifie vicinity of
Gilbert Town Young Hampton, a
son of Colonel Andrew- Hampton,
was reported to Colonel Ferguson su>
being one wjjo held the Kings au
thority in great contempt for hr hud
accepted a corom's; ion of justice ol
the peace from the rebel govern
ment in North Carolina and had act
ually performed a marriage cere
mony. This was a higr crime from
a British and Tory viewpoint, and so
a party of some four pi five hundred
soldiers was dispatched under Major
Plummer, and Major Lee to appre
hend Sqtilre Hampton, and possibly
'Jitrnp his father ai the some time
However, Colonel Hampton liar! left1
to joint McDowell s forces before the
British troops arrived but Ills son j
was found at horn > and captured
\v the enemy.
Jpna'han Hampton was shamefully i
treated by a portion of his captors.!
The Tories cursed him soundly for
a ci cl rebel, and Major lee knocked
him down rind Iried to ride on him
hut the .lor.-e jun\red over his body
without loins him any harm. Hamil
ton and his wtie s brother, Jacob
Hyder were made p> wonei and
those vvhv had the former in
"hare. swore they would Want: him
on the spot. To make good theh
threat they- -began to. uncord a bed
to procure a i o”e when .Mrs Hamp
ton ran n Major "h-mrher to get
him to put a stop to ths unjust, pro
■’eedhift- Plummer wa a more hu
mane officer than Major Lee and lie
it once net a stop to the threaten
ed cxecut at).
Koine of the Tories were very much
•lieappointed at not bciui: allowed to
hang Hampton Tin v thirsted for
hi- ' lood, r.i .1 he. la: in his.pres
! n t Ui.i J ergnjon would put ta
death such a unionn::- rebel the
m.oipent no laid c> • ■ on. him. But
this bitter talk did not in any way
influence • he decisions of Major
Plummer That offii ri informed
Hampton if he would give security
for ins appearance Jir next day at
Gilbert t own. he im;h; remain at
home over night. After several Tor
ies had declined to do the captured
patriot this iavor Major Plummer
himself rno.'cusly offered to be his *
ecurlr.y According to promise,
Jonathan Hampton 'vent to Gilbert
Town the next day and presented
himself .<> Colonel Ferguson, who
proceed' I to examine hi. ease While
this wort mas being' done, Major ;
Dunlap • attic In. Th.it oiflcer was
•-( il on :i itches as -t lesult of being
wounded u. Cane Creek, and he,
hlce Mati'v Lee. was f xtremenly bit
ter in his attitude cowards the reb
els, Dun hi.) did his he.** to influence"
Ferguson to have Hampton execut
ed. but ‘.he British commander par
oled the , .at riot captive and allowed
him to ’turn home
Shortly liter this Colonel Fergu
son began the march toward Kings
Mountain, 11’ evidently discovered
that the patriots from over the
mountain^ were going to give him
trouble, so he desired to get closer
to Lord >'cii wall)- wild had Just
come to Charlotte.
Some two weeks hence I expect to
"dve an i • totin', of trie gathering ot
the clans to fight Ferguson.
Polite !><c.
-i country doctor was driving
down a narrow road, on hw way to
visit a .patient',' when he noticed an
old .wotna am the midd'e of the road,
nicking up . ticks. Pulling his horse
up to pit-vent runn'ng over her, he
~aid. ra'Mer sharply: "Women and
donkeys are always ir the way."
"Well, uaid the woman, stepping
to one side, "l m glad you’ve got the
manners to nut yourself last.”
