Note - This is the last in a series of eight winning essays by Kings Mountain students on "Famous Women of the Revolution." The contest was sponsored by Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter DAR. By LINDA PHANNARETH West School 5th Grade Elizabeth Maxwell was born in 1733 in Pennsylvania, but she lived and died a Tar Heel. Her parents brought their son and daughter down the Old Trading Path to Rowan County in North Carolina. Elizabeth married Robert Gillespie. Event though he just moved to North Carolina, he was already a man of some means. He had bought several lots. On one of them he built a tavern. Robert Gillespie and Elizabeth Maxwell Gillespie's life together was a short one, only three years. He left with Colonel Hugh Waddell to fight the Indians. He was killed and scalped by them. That left Elizabeth a widow with two small children to bring up. She showed her business ability, however, in the administration of Robert Gillespie's will. Another Pennsylvania family was the Steel family, spelled Steele by the next generation. The parents had come from Ireland. They left three older children there, but brought five others to Pennsylvania. Then they moved on to Salisbury. One son remained in Pennsylvania. When he came down to visit his family, he liked North Carolina so much that he resolved to make it his home too. Perhaps William Steel's enthusi- asm for Salisbury was due for the most part to the magnetic personal- ity of the young widow, Elizabeth Maxwell Gillespie. At any rate, they got married in 1763 and be- came business partners as well as marriage partners. William and Elizabeth kept the tavern in Salisbury. Both of them were friendly, energetic and very much interested in the affairs of the Carolina Colony. Here "they caught the vivid impressions of moving events and passions of the hour." It was in this tavern that Daniel Boone, John Dun, and other fa- mous Tar Heels did things. The Steele Tavern was a famous place in those days. William Steele was more than a tavern keeper He was an able and well-liked man who made a place for himself in history. In 1773 William died. This was before the Revolution had completely devel- oped. The death of William Steele left Elizabeth Maxwell Gillespie Steele again a widow with children to bring up. Her first two were just about grown ‘but her son by William was only nine years old. In 1783, John married and be- came a merchant at Cross Creek, now Fayetteville. The years went by and Mrs. Steele continued to carry on at the tavern. In the early mornings, a lonely rider waited news. The news, when it came, was discouraging. Americans were retreating before Cornwallis. The lonely rider was General Nathaniel Greene. His worn out soldiers were retreating. General Greene needed replace- ments. Money and inspiration were the things most needed for victory in his battle. Not knowing which . way to turn, he turned his horse to- wards Salisbury and soon stopped at Steele's Tavern. While he was there, Mrs. Steele overhead him talking and later took out two bags of gold and silver coins, savings of her lifetime. She offered them to him. General Greene took them and used them for his soldiers. With it, he was able to drive Cornwallis away from Carolina. Mrs. Steele died in 1790. She was a Tar Heel who was never for- gotten because of her contribution to General Nathaniel Greene. Ah, Spring! Tally Ho welcomes the arrival of spring and enchanting new merchandise.
