'', • •''r. gid' _ Dear Mrs Eidson, Thank you for your letter of 6th April. I am replying to your old address in Kenwood Street; I hope that is correct. I have had a quick look at the McCULLOHs you mention and find that a Henry McCULLOH married Penelope EUSTACE at St.George's Chapel, Mayfair on 9thAugust 1749. In the light of the information you give about his children I think there is no doubt that this is the marriage of the Henry you mention. In view of its being in 1749 I would expect his date of birth to be later than 1708. However, we shall see. Before I do anything more wouldyou please: (a) Let me know the date of the letter of condolence you mention. I assume this was written in America. As you describe it it looks to me to be.most likely to be in respect of the death of James, Henry's son; Henry being Henry Eustace, Miss -Penelope his sister and Mrs McCULLOH Henry senior's However, this is a bit of speculation at this time. Is a photo -copy obtainitble? If so could you let me see one? (b) Please give details of your mother's descent from the James McCULLOH of Rowan County, especially noting the places and dates of the events you have ascertained. Do you not know where and when James died? Nor his age then? (c) Advise me where Grogan is. Is it in Ireland? If so where abouts? I am assuming Henry senior's Will was proved in London(PCC) and / will Davie County Public library Mocksville, CYC FORSYTH GYNECOLOGIC ASSOCIATES. P. A. 2909 MAPLEWOOD AVENUE WINSTON-SALEM.

I waited to respond until I went to the State Archives again to see if I could get I went this&st �aturd ' any additional information to report to you.. V�� - but failed to find anything significant. Most of the films were letters to the Loyalist Commissioners and to and from people in America whom- he tried to enlist on his behalf. After reading those for half a day, I could hardly keep from feeling great sympathy for him. He wrote repeatedly, len th detailed letters furnishing proof -only to be asked to do it again or to send more documentation. The last film I was looking at, which I did not finish, was a list of his personal property. I had hoped it would name a,home or -plantation, but it listed various tracts in. Duplin County, amounting to nearly 19,000 acres. He did say that his father had 800,000 acres and he had 150,000 acres and 18,000 pounds in personal property (consisting of bonds, mortgages) and his father was due nearly 2400 pounds in back salary. His income was between 1,500 and 1,800 pounds a year from the property. The film had a list of his proof of losses and it gave a list of people who had been deeded land. That, was the source of the mortgages and bonds. Anyway, I would like to look at it again and see if I can find any other McCullohs in that area who had deeds -,a James for instance. I am going to start this week checking counties Duplin was formed from I think older Henry and Henry Eustace were educated, accomplished, rich, personable, socially acceptable men. I do think they had a reluctance to marry, evidently thinking most young ladies weren't quite suitable or acceptable mates. I do think Henry Eustace could have left something to, his son George, even a token gift. He disapproved of George s marriage. (I think in 1799 in Rowan) and he had never met the girl. It seems they me thought nobody was good enough for 'them. If our dates are correct, old Henry must have lived with Miss Eustace eleven or more years before they married and traveled back and forth between two continents. Don't do any more research there until I come up with more clues. I believe with you that the answer is in Duplin County. The man at the Archives who told me about their British -records in the first place suggested that I look in Sampson County. He was not there Saturday and I surely wanted to talk to him. .I looked in Sampson records in wills, settlements of estates but didn't find anything. Sampson was formed in 1784 from Duplin but Duplin was formed in 1750 from New Hanover. Thank you for your Christmas card, even more welcome hearing how busy;: you have been with two weddings, etc. I appreciate all your work and help and shall keep you posted of any progress or findings.

Fenton 83 Hersham Road Walton -On -Thames Surrey KT12 5NU England Dear Mr. Fenton, Please excuse my not answering your letter of February 21 sooner. In the future I promise to be prompt. My step -daughter died suddenly of a heart attack the first of Marcl and I put aside my genealogical records and work for a period. She was far too young to die of a heart attack and I was quite upset about the whole thing. I am happy that you are going to undertake finding my ancestors. My initial check for $75.00 is enclosed. I will enclose what I know about Nathaniel Houlton. Family tradition has always been that we came from England but on my own I have not been able t:, come up with a clue as to where. For ages I worked on thd.assumption that he came from the Wiltshire Houltons (Holtons). Their families had a lot of Nathaniels and a lot of Johns but I couldn't get them to fit,.hence no attempt at documentation. I read Mr. Boucher's history of the Houltons carried in the Wiltshire Notes and Queries which a•friend obtained for me from our National Archives, but I couldn't get them to match. I was so excited when I found christening at All Hallows - Thi Great on Bread Street. The dates seemed to fit. Alas, when I read further they turned out to be the Houltons in Wiltshire-. (A Houlton in Wiltshire left money to that church and when I checked the dates of birth on their pedigree sheet, they were the same - so I was back where I started from. At Nathaniel Houlton's marriage to Martha Miller Jordan, John Houlton attended - though he was not a Quaker. I believe he was Nathaniel's brother. Three Houltons lived in Chester County, Pennsylvania at one time but I don't think the other - Francis Holton - was a brother. I shall look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, I August 2, 1802 GEORGE McCULLOH, Salisbury to HENRY E. McCULLOH, Lincolns Inn Fields, London Is aware that he has greatly offended his father by his marriage and other actions, and prays forgiveness. He now has a daughter just entering her 3rd year who would be, could Henry E. McCulloh see her, a powerful advocate for pardon. July 289 1799 GEORGE McCULLOH, Norfolk, Virginia to HENRY • E.

Henry McCulloch proposes a settlement of two Tracts of Land ; Feb. 17351/6 "I intend to settle a person on the Head of the N.E.Branch of the Cape Fear River." " Tract on the N.L. Head I intend to fix the said Gentleman's brother." " One Tract of 70,000 acres on the N.E. Branch of the Cape Fear," - " One Tract of 609000 acres towards the N.W.,at or near a place commonly knoim as Hayfields " -- " will engage to settle 300 Protestants at that Place ". There were few exceptions to the policy of issueing fairly small grants and these were not issued by the provincial Land Office,but by the Crovrn's specific orders. In 1737,the King,advising with the Council,issued an order to the provin- cial Office and the Surveyor - general to the effect that two patents pe granted to Henry McCulloch, a London Ii;erchant. He had been appointed Commissio. for in - specting and controlling the Royal revenues and Grants of land in the Carolinaso These Grants were made for speculative purposes. In 1745 Gov. Johnston,acting on orders from the Crovrn,issued at least 40 patents,of 12,500 acres each,to associates of other London merchants,also a number of grants of equal size to Henry McCulloch and his associates. Gov. Johnston arrived in Oct.1734,and in Nov. took �he oath of office. ( Gabriel Johnston was the 2nd son of John Johnston of Dumpriesshire,Scot. "of Stapleton" - his brother Gilbert had two sons,James,Col. under Rutherford in the Rev. , and William, who married the dau. of Peter Forney ;died I845 } ( Scotland's Mark, p.27 ) Gabriel Johnston married Gov.

Dated 16 :1,ay9175I;Proved,4 April,1753• Johnston had been serving the Crown for 15 years under his Royal Commission. According to Henry McCulloch's memorial to the Board of Trade in 1751,he himself had been supporting Gabriel Johnston from 1726 to 17341to the amount of 2900 pounds Sterling;having paid the fees involved in Johnston's Royal Commission as Gov.under the Great Seal and at his own expense freighted a ship to carry the Gov. & his Retinue to north Carolina,bought plate and furniture for his house & given him a credit of 250 pounds Sterling. N,C.C.R, In 1745,in a survey ,it was discovered that 45,000 acres of the 1,200,000 acres grants to l:icCulloch ,viere in Lord Granvilles' Grant. At the same time many Virginians of substance acquired holdings in ittwith the result that in 1746 Granville Co. Was formed to meet thfair needs, with Orange follow ing in 1752. In 1746 Henry McCulloch acted as Special London Agent for the northern Counties w"en Johnston and the Assembly were in the struggle as to the number of deputies. At the same time Arthur DobbsySurveyor General of Ireland,was one of a group w .ho drew up charges against Johnston, but no steps were taken for his removal before his death in 175Z/3 . In 1747pDobbs was occupied with the laying out of patents for 400,000 acres that he and Selwyn had purchased,and instructed Capt. Rowan to locate it so that none should fall in Lord Granvilles District. Dobb' s Com. as Gov. sealed Feb. 1753 (of No (;. ) According to Sabine, Henry I, McCulloch,holding the office of Secretary,Surveyor,Inspector and Comtroller of Revenue and Commissioner of Crown Lands,with the patent for 1,200,000 acres of land held for the purpose of bringing in settlers from Ireland, and though a man of fortune became greatly embarrassed by his efforts.

(Williamson ) Henry Eustace,son of Henry J�IcCulloch,educated to law in Londonaabout member761 emigrated to North Carolina. At first agent for his father,he became of the Council,Collector of Customs for the Port of Roanoke,and Representative of the Colony in England. As the only surviving son,heobtained all the property in N.C. by conveyance.(Sabine ) In 1764 the Whigs dismissed him as Colonial Agent.In 17791his estates were confiscated.In 1784 he applied fqr annulment of the Act,without success. Distinguish&d Whigs advocated his cause ,only to lessen their own influence. James Iredell was his cousin,whom Henry had brought to N.C.,and rendered him much valuable service. 11tho6reduced in fortune,his annual income of 1200 guineas,after the adjustment of his claims with the British Gov't.,since he lived retired,was a competence. He died at his country seat near London. It is possible his unpopularity stemmed partly foom the Stamp Tax; "About 1763iafter the Pontiac uprising,when the Colonial Assemblies had objected to a Plan of Union and any apportionment of expense,for rasing some than artaofamp tax. maintenance fund,ministers could think of no more equitable tai:A Crown Officer in N.C.11 r. hfcCulloch,was good enough to assure IJlro Jenki.son,one of the Secretaries of the Treasury, back up his assertion with statistical ex hints that a stamp tax would yeild 60,000 lbs. ,and twice that if extended to the West Indies*" (Becker,Eve of Revolution) 4- 8034 Lemoran Ave. Pico 'Rivera, CA. 90 660 April 4, 1982 Dear Alice, I was so glad to hear froiu you. Your news is very interesting, and I've been looking through my records to see if there is any information I might have regarding Penelope Barfield, I can only give you the information I have on the Barfields, which isn't much. Ivlost of the information I have carne from records of abstracts of wills in North Carolina that have been published by geneological societies. I don't have a record of a Penelope Barfield, but there were many Barfields (also spelled Ba.refield, Bearfield, etc.) listed in the 1790 Census. You mentioned in your first letter that you had found a record of a letter of condolence to Henry McCulloh on the death of his son James, and a mention of a sister named Penelope. I don't suppose it was she, because she was probably in England. I agree with you that it is possible that Jaraes was possibly married and a son could have been born after his father's death. It would .be about right, since Catharine McCulloh was born in 17751 which would have made her father about 25 years old. '.There is another mystery. According to a book published by Willia'M A. Shaw on iilcCulloh' s "l7iiscellaneous Representations Relative to our Concerns in America'_' : "There is a record of a letter in the Colonial Records from Governor Dobbs written Oct. 28, 1755, in which he says 'Yester- day Henry McCulloh, Esq,, secretary of this province dyed (sic.)` and a month later Richard Speight was appointed his successor in office, Furthur , according to Shaw, the Court and City Register shows Henry McCulloh as secretary and Clerk of the Crown in 1757, 1758, and 1760; the years 1759 and 1761 are blank and in 1762 Thomas Falkner appears as secretary-, having- been avingbeen appointed by the kind; April 14, 1761, to succeed Henry MicCulloh, deceased. (See Colonial Records V.440, 445, 807; vi. 625, 620; XI. 1261 127, 143.) But there is abundant evidence in the Colonial Records to show that Henry ivicCulloh, the promoter of iirimigration, was living long after 1761, and we know from McRee' s ' Iredell' that he did not die until 1778, therefore we must conclude that he was xhot the sar.�e as the secretary of that name who died Oct. 27, 1755." Do you have a clue as towhatthat means? Could there have been anoti-ier sorb or relative named Henry, besides Henry Eustace ? Pu�l�c Ubraf flavie°unt vit1�, ISG docks Page 2 The same names appear so frequently in family records that it riakes it extremely difficult to sort out who is who, doesn't it? Dave you checked the ships lists of McCulloh' s first immigrants froi}l Ireland ? According to one record, the first families were sent out in 1736. I would imagine IvIcCulloh families would have been among the first. There are records here of poor Protestants from Ireland coming in at Charles Town, S.C., but the ones I saw were around 1765 and later. The fai:-lily record I have of the Barfields only goes back to Lewis's father, Jessie o and his wife, Sarah Castalo . In ray search to find out where they came from to Alabairla, I found that Jesse Barfield, who married Sarah Castillo, was listed in the DAR ratriot Index as performing a public service. Frederick, Lewis's older brother, and Richard Barfield were also listed. All were froin North Carolina. Later, in checking Census Records, Lewis and Catharine were listed as being born in North Carolina. in checking abstracts of wills, I found Jesse was the son of Richard Barfield, son of Richard Barfield, who was probably the son of Thomas Barfeild, who was brought to I-fansemond Coot -Vast by Philip Taylor in lam, The Virginia Historical Magazine has a record of the quit -rent rolls of N ansemand Coot Virginia, for 1704 that shows Thomas Baref ei ld with 100 acres, Richard Barefield with 900 acres, and John Barefield with 300 acres. (There was a John Barfield who came in 1653.) There is a lot of information on the Barfields in the Bertie County Deeds. Evidently they owned quite a bit of land, and they are shown. as buying and selling in several deeds. The only other item I have that might have a bearing on the informa- tion you sent is a record I found of a Duplin Co. Tax List for 1806. It shows Lewis Barfield - Lands - 950 Whites - 1 Blacks - 4 There is also a Lewis Barfield, Sr., and Lewis Barfield, Jr, that was also mentioned in the 1OU00 Census that I do not know how they fit in. They are probably cousins. I shall try to go to tlie library again soon, and I will see if I can find anything on the McCullohs. Please keep me posted, and I shall be glad to help pay for any information you get. Sincerely, Davie County Public hbrarg, klooksvfty NG 4V 8034 Lemoran Ave. Pico Rivera, CA. 90660 September 24, 1989 Dear Alice, I'm sorry I have taken so long answering your letter. Since I returned from Washington, I had an emergency attack of a strangulated hernia. Fortunately, it eased off and I didn't have to have an operation under emergency conditions, but the doctor was very insistent that I have the operation very soon, so on Tuesday, September 12, I entered the hospital for the hernia repair. It was very painful for about a week, but I have recovered very nicely. The doctor released me on Thursday with only the restraint of not lifting anything very heavy for about three more weeks_. I really feel very good, but I still feel a little pain if I sneeze or cough, so I will follow the doctor's advice and not overdo. While we were in Washington, my sister, Norma, and I went to the genea- logy and local history department of the Library of Congress. We found a complete set of the Colonial and State Records of North Carolina, and in looking up records concerning James McCulloh, we found some very interesting information. In Volume V. pages 615, 616, and 617, there is an entry titled "McCulloh and the McCulloh Grants" with the notation "From MSS Records in the Office of Secretary of State." Starting on Page 615, there is a letter from King George II, acknowled- ging that he had appointed Henry McCulloh to be the Commissioner for supervising, inspecting, and controlling the revenues and grants of land in South and North Carolina with a salary of 600 pounds per annum and 200 pounds per annum for clerks and incidents payable out of the quit rents due the king. Henry had petitioned the King for his back salary from 1739 to 1748 and proposed to release and waive all further demands if they would pay him 6200 pounds. The King says in the letter they are pleased to accept his offer, and he directs George Saxby, the a Receiver General of Revenues in South Carolina, to pay this 6200 pounds to Henry McCulloh as he has the funds and as Henry requests it. 0 Directly under this letter is a letter from Henry to George Saxby, dated v� 7 December,1754, directing him to pay to Henry McCulloch, Secretary of North Carolina, 973 pounds Sterling for the use of James McCulloh, Esq., and in full discharge of all debts due to his late Father deceased. Y Since Henry McCulloh had a son James who died in 1750, the natural oj assumption would be that this James McCulloh is the son of the James N who died in 1750. Then in Volume V, Pages 771 and ?72, there is a turning over of some land grants that had been held in trust for Henry McCulloh by Dr. William ' Houston. This was in February, 1746/47. One of the witnesses was James McCulloh. Does this mean that James was with his father in N.C. durzn 'th'that—time he was Commissioner for the king? Could he have been a "clerk" for his father? Could that be the "debts due his late Father, dee d?" If so, then Henry's son James must have been old enough to be a witness ,—to a legal document. v � To me, it seems proof that our James was a grandson of old Henry. What do you think? I know you told me that the son James who died in 1750 was only 9 years old, but I wonder if the genealogist who checked that made a mistake. Perhaps the tombstone was very worn and he misread it. Perhaps it should have read 19. Another interesting thing about the 973 pounds is that it is going through old Henry's nephew, Henry McCulloch, Secretary of the Province of N.C. I wonder what the significance of that is? Could Henry or some of his family be caring for the young James? Or was he just a go-between old Henry and whoever was caring for him? There is also the possibility that it was a legal matter --that Henry wanted a record of the 973 pounds being paid to the estate of the deceased James. The more we dig the more questions we have: I am sending you copies of Pages 616, 617, 771, and 772. Unfortunately Norma forgot to make a copy of page 61,, but the last of King George's letter is on 616. You sent me a typed copy of old Henry's will several years ago, and you asked me not to mention it to anyone because you were having trouble with some cousins who were "picking your brain." I had already told my brothers and sisters and one second cousin about it, but I asked them not to broadcast it. I think they have not spread it around. But I must tell you, the Mormon Library has the Wills of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, and my sister, Norma found the will and copied it. So it is readily available to those who do research there. Norma also found Elizabeth Green's will in that microfilm, but there was no reference to any McCullohs. She died in July, 1779 right after old Henry died, and she left her estate to her sister and two or three nephews. Norma looked for the Articles of Agreement, thinking they might be filed with the will, but there were no other documents with it. Please let me know what you think of this. Love, P.S. I'm also sending a note I made of the Margaret McCulloch who married George Miller. It shows when she was born. I think she was the daughter of Henry McCulloch, Secretary of the Province.

Eidson, 1135, Kenwood Street, Winston-Salem, N.C. 27103 U.S.A. Dear Mrs Eidson, Many thanks for your letters of 11th May, 2nd June, 5th June and for that sending some further MS and typed notes which came on 15th instant. Also for the cheque for '75.00 and for all the various papers and copy documents sent with your letters. I have seen,and called for a photo -copy of, the Will of Henry McCULLOH who died in 17?9 and as soon as I get it I will send it on to you. Fortunately the original is readily legible whereas the Register Copy, which is the normal version available from the PRO in Chancery Lane,is in a script which you would probably be unable to read and would need a transcriptign. I have studied the papers you sent me and also done a little re- search. Before enlarging on anpof this I think I should say that it is evident that we have a considerable problem in identity on our hands. It does not appear that your James McCULLOH could be Henry McCULLOH's (d.1779) son - evidence from the mamorial inscription at St. Nicholas, Chiswick (where it is true Henry was buried (he is in the Burials Register, as is a Penelope; probably his wife,but not explicitly so described) - says that James died 9th July 17..9, aged 9. Should think the year was 17+9, which would match with the letter of condolence of 1750; which, incidentally, must have been sent to Henry in England. May I put some questions? (a) It is evident that many of these McCULLO(C)Hs have an Irish background. Were they Roman Catholics - then or later? . . . . / ( b ) I)ayia County Public Wdil M%u svilte, NC . 4b. — —•m —3— unlikely that / he would have completed his legal training tz:fz and been called to the Bar before he was 21. The Society of the Inner Tample, to whom I wrote say that they have no record of him there. I will try other lines of enquiry about this. As it appears that the letter of condolence of July 1750 must have been sent to Henry in England can we find out to what address it was directed - the Colonial Records do not say? I'm afraid there is rather a lot in all this and I shall be most interestdd to hear whether you can help. I should particularly like to see photo -copies of the Wills mentioned if such can be obtained and are not too bulky. I will write again when I have the copy of Henty's Will of 17?9. With all best wishes, Yours sincerely, V • ``1 w�� Davie County Fubiiu- L.4-.1 AI MooksvHle, NC w 2 - (b) Who is the author, what is the date and who is th epublisher of theIREDELL 'Life and Corresppndence' of which you sent me a photo -copy extract?

(d) Re Alexander McCULLOCH - •�/ �,r lvh �6wJ�►� (1) What4do you know about his brothers and sisters? (2) What is the evidence for his father's being called 'Henry' and being a 'Scotsman'?

L/(e) Can I see a copy of theWill of Henry McCULLOCH who was the Secretary of the Province and who died in 1755• Will said to be proved Nov. 1755• /(f) Can I see a copy of the Will of James Mc CULLOH who died in 1816 and also of his widow - Elizabeth - who died in 1841? (g) Do you know anything about the connections of the 'James McCULLOH of Tennessee' referred to inHarriet's letter? (h) There is some confusion about the William McCULLOCHs referred to in the IREDELL memoires (p.5, penultimate para.) This says: (i) "William had issue James (now of Gdmdey, near Dundalk in Ireland....... * who is yet a bachelor" and (ii) "William, a merchant of Lublin, who is mw a widower. By his wife (whose name was COLEMAN) he had three children - 2 daughters and a son - Henry, (late Secretary of this Province), two of whose daughters are now living there." No mention of James in this instance: these two Williams different people? In view of the refeeence to Henry being called the second William's son it looks important to try to establish exactly who is involved. This might well call for some research in Ireland. Can you throw any light on the position? Incidentally, we have another oddity. Henry Eustace McCULLOH whom, one would think (as I did originally) was the son of Henry McCULLOH and Penelope EUSTACE, must have been born quite some time before their marriage in 1749, otherwise he would have been only about 11 years of age when he is said to have been managing his father's affairs in N.C. in 1761: Apart from the fact that I would think it unlikely that .... / he W.

Dear Mrs Eidson, Many thanks for your letters of 11th May, 2nd June, 5th June and for that sending some further MS and typed notes which came on 15th instant. Also for the cheque for.#75.00 and for all the various papers and copy documents sent with your letters. I have seen,and called for a photo -copy of, the Will of Henry McCULLOH who died in 4779 and as soon as I get it I will send it on to you. Fortunately the original is readily legible whereas the Register Copy, which is the normal version available from the -PRO in Chancery Lane,is in'a script which you would probably be unable to read and would need a transcriptign. I have studied the papers you sent me and also done a little re- search. Before enlarging on anpof this I think I should say that it is evident that we have a considerable problem in identity on our 9 hands. It does not appear -that your James McCULLOH could be Henry McCULLOH's (d.1779) son - evidence from the mamorial inscription a ti at St. Nicholas, Chiswick (where it is true Henry was buried (he is in the Burials Register, as is a Penelope; probably his wife,but not explicit3cy so described) - says that James died 9th July 17.9, aged 9. .� Should think the year was 17.9, which would match with the letter of condolence of 1?50; which, incidentally, must have been sent to Henry ® in England. aMay I'put some questions? (a) It is evident that many of these McCULLO(C)Hs have an Irish background. Were'they Roman Catholics - then or later? q � s 1 J � v Q Davis Counter Public Library o � Mooksvflle, NC v s V — 2 — (b) Who is the author, what is the date and who is th epublisher of the-IREDELL 'Life and Corresppndence' of which you sent me a photo -copy extract? (c) Do you know anything about the parentage of the William D. McCULLOH Harriet's brother? In view of the reference to Alfred think this could be important to us. (d) Re Alexander McCULLOCH - .,/ ' (1) WhaVdo you know about his brothers ani.sisters? ^ � gi Gwteovlot . (2) What is the evidence for his father's being called 'Henry' a P. and being a 'Scotsman'? (3) Can you let me have a copy of his Will proved in Nov. 1798? +/(e) Can I see a copy of theWill of Henry McCULLOCH who was the Secretary of the Province and who died in 1755. Will said to be proved Nov. 1755• ,/(f) Can I see a copy of the Will of James Mc CULLOH who died in 1816 and also of his widow - Elizabeth - who died in 1841? (g) Do you know anything about the connections of the 'James McCULLOH of Tennessee' referred to inHarriet's letter? (h) There is some confusion about the William McCULLOCHs referred to in the IREDELL memoires (p.5, penultimate para.) This says: (i) "William had issue James (mow of Camdey, near Dundalk in Ireland....... who is yet a bachel©r" And (ii) "William, a merchant of Dablin, who isrow a widower. By his wife (whose name was COLEMAN) he had three children - 2 daughters and a son - Henry, (late Secretary of this Province), two of whose daughters are now living there." No mention of James in this instance; these two Williams different people? In view of the ref'esence to Henry being called the second William's son it looks important to try to establish exactly who is involved. This might well call for some research in Ireland. Can you throw any light on the position? Incidentally, we have another oddity. Henry Eustace McCULLOH whom, one would think (as I did originally) was the son of Henry McCULLOH and Penelope EUSTACE, must have been born quite some time before their marriage in 1749, otherwise he would have been only about 11 years of age when he is said to have been managing his father's affairs in N.C. in 1761: Apart from the fact that I would think it unlikely that .... / he Davin County Public Ubraq Mooksville, NC _3_ unlikely that / he would have completed his legal training Jaztz and been called to the Bar before he was 21. The Society of the Inner Tample, to whom I wrote, say that they have no record of him there. I will try other lines of enquiry about this. As it appears that the letter of condolence of July 1754 must have been sent to Henry in England can we find out to what address it was directed - the Colonial Records do not say? I'm afraid there is rather a lot in all this and I shall be most interestdd to hear whether you can help. I should particularly like to see photo -copies of the Wills mentioned if such can be obtained and are not too bulky. I will write again when I have the copy of Henty's Will of 1779.

C-°unty Public Libraq MooWme, NG RAZZIGH Y COMMERCIAL PRINTING COMPANY PRINTERS AND BINDERS COLONEL JAMES MARTIN* Iie it was who proposed the unme "Raleigh" for our Capital City. (Twin City Daily) Col. James Martin, of Winston, ,yesterday showed the Sentinel an old copy of the Salisbury Watchman, of the date Nov. 8th, 1834. It contained an orbituary of his uncle, the distinguished Col. James lfartin, one of the founders of the city of Raleigh. It will be remembered that a good deal of adverse criticism has of late been. bestowed upon the Raleigh aldermen for chang- ing the name of the street in the capital city named for Col. Martin. The obituary was written by Col. Hamilton C. Jones, father of Col. H. C. Jones, of Charlotte, and at the time editor of the Watchman. ' The following is an interesting extract from the obituary: 0 �. "He (Col. Martin) was several times a member of the Gen- eral Assembly and perhaps a member of the Electoral College of the State, and was in the commission that located the present seat of government. As a small matter of interest to the State of North Carolina, it may not be amiss to mention that he first ` Qe proposed the name `Raleigh' as suitable for our Capital City. He bore several other minor civil offices in the course of his long life, all of which he discharged with faithfulness." d Col. Martin died on the 30th of October, 1834.

Fuson' WncrsMs Probably no man did more toward the early development of North Carolina, to receive as little attention by historians of the State, as did Henry McCullough, of London. Mention of his untiring efforts in different phases of Colonial activity in the Province of North Carolina is frequent through the colonial records, especially in Volumes 4 and 5. The deeds of this enterprising man might be so extended as to cover volumes. The origin of McCullough was, as his name implies, Scottish. The McCulloughe from whom Henry McCullough sprang were an old family, their line running back to 1316, at which time the founder of the McCullough tree or clan performed many brave deeds on the field of battle, and was knighted, made Standard Bearer and Secretary of State by his king. The long centuries which had elapsed between the lives of the founder and the subject of this sketch had caused the House of McCullough to change its fortune. The broad acres of the first Laird of Myrton had, through the ages, hecon=e infested with debt until the end of the Seventeenth Century, when the family, no longer able to maintain its title and landed estate, scattered into Ireland and England to seek anew their for- tunes. It was in the Scottish Colony of Ireland that Henry Mc- Cullough aCullough was born. Little is known of his youth. The first official notice we have of him is in London, where he had be- come prominent as an enterprising and influential merchant. His letters to his nephew in Ireland, which have been pre- served, disclose him to have been a man of the world, of busi- ness and society. We find him enjoying the society of the Lords of Trade and the confidence of the King. HxNEY MCCDLLoueR AND His IRISH SETTLEMENT 33 The condition of Ireland, the inhuman treatment by the ' English Government of the Scotch -Irish people, whose blood he shared, caused him concern. Descendants of the Scotch Col- onists, who in the Seventeenth Century had been encouraged to settle in the northern part of Ireland, were now receiving the same treatment as the Catholic Irish themselves were sub- mitting to. By virtue of the Navigation Aeta, they were do - Hied the right to export cattle into England. In order that the English woolen trade might be protected from Irish compe- tition, the English Parliament forbade the exportation of wool- ens from Ireland. Irish ships, forced to fly the English Flag, were yet treated as foreign sbjps. All Ireland was under the a hand of the High Church Regime and the Presbyterians, who comprised the Scotch element of that mal -treated island, were actually fined by officers of the English Government for being married by Presbyterian Ministers. The historical records of that time show that freedom of thought or worship was con- sidered a crime and that Presbyterian schoolmasters were often imprisoned The discontent of the Scotch -Irish, who had been accustomed to freedom in every way, was too great to s bear. Change had to come! If not of Government, then cer- tainly of residence and country. i McCullough's mind was receptive and active. He took in the situation and condition of the times. Here was a auffer- f ing people --hie friends and connections—all clamoring for new conditions, a new country and environment. Not only was their political freedom utterly destroyed, but also the economic -_ and religious freedom.was greatly handicapped. f • It was natural that Henry McCullough, an Ulsterite him- self, who had made good in influential circles in London, should feel an interest in, and a solicitude for his oppressed kinsman in Ulster, Ireland. But what could be dont The new land j of America with its absolute freedom, virgin forest and fertile Soil loomed large. If the old Regime, under which the Prot- estant Scotch-Iriah suffered, could not be altered, then emigra- tion to America should be the. order of the day. N. C. B.—a DdV laf, t� Not 'NOoksvl)ie, 40 14 34 THE NORTH CAROLINA BOOKLET First, lands in America had to be obtained and a good title secured, the cost of transportation arranged for, and numerous Other important steps, attendant upon emigration, taken. In order to secure the necessary grant of land in America for the Colony, our enterprising McCullough got into oommunica- tion with Mr. Dobbs and some other gentlemen of distinction in Ireland, and with the concerted effort of those men and Gabriel Johnston, Governor of North Carolina at the time and the kinsman of McCullough; and William Houston, a peti- tion was sent to ging George II, praying a grant of land in the Province of North Carolina. At this early day, America was still a vast wilderness, only here and there dotted with small scattered settlements. The petition mentioned was complied with by a grant for over 70,000 acres of land. This grant was on condition that the grantees were to pay all the cost of surveying the land. No quit -rents were to be charged for ten years. At the end of this period, McCullough and his associates were to receive two hundred acres for each immigrant settled by them on the tract granted. Such portions of the land not settled by them on the tract granted by this time were to revert to the Crown. Seeing on what easy terms the virgin soil of the Province could be secured for settlement, McCullough added to his associates two fellow merchants, Huey.and Crymble, and a few months VL later arrangements were made with the King's Board of Trade whereby a grant was obtained for ten more tracts of land, each tract to contain 100,000 acres, not to be a greater distance apart than ten miles, and to be settled upon in the aggregate by six thousand Protestant Colonists within ten years time. The tracts secured were located on the head waters of the Neuse, Pee Dee, North East, North West and Cape Fear rivers. This grant covered a large part of the sand hills and Piedmont Section of the State. Part of it lay in what was later known as Lord Granville's grant. 2 H$NRY MOCULLOUGH AND HIB IFUH SBTTLBMBNT 35 With this princely area on his hands to be settled within ten years, Henry McCullough and his associates became active _ in securing colonisation. In order that personal attention u= might be given to this colonial enterprise, McCullough set out 'to we first-hand the lay and condition of the land secured • in ti his name. Doubtless he was struck with the potentialities of the country in general, for we find him stating in communica- "`� tions, which have been preserved, to friends in Ulster and Eng. land that the climate on the Cape Fear was as good as that of England; that living was incredibly cheap, and that in such a country fortunes could be easily made. Upon friends in Ire- land he urged immediate emigration because homesteads taken up now would soon be doubled in value, as this was al- ready lready found to be true in the Iower Cape Fear section where ,[0' Iish colonists had ahead settled. , - fig . ' Each white person taping out a homestead on the McCul- `-bngh grant was to be given a hundred acres. If such settlers- � brie any y negroes with them they were to receive fifty ,, � aures extra because of each one. This invitation to enjoy the land of freedom and opportunity o warmly heldNIoutto his fellow countrymen, pent up and op- '►ressed in Ireland, was eagerly accepted by four hundred of them who were desirous of taking the first opportunity to get awry frora-the relWous and economic restrictions under which -they, labored. Delay occurred in securing necessary money. for aver .� sage sea, for agricultural implements and other necesst- #tea incident to 'pioneer life. Means were secured, however, ,through the agency of McCullough, whereby emigration might "` begin and in the year 1736 the first shipload arrived in Amer- "� their way McCullough they ;: y to the McCnllou tract as best ,-_'could by the use of barge or improvised wagon. Being true Presbyterians, these Scotch -Irish Colonists brought their religion with them and soon established the churches of Goshen and Grove, which are the oldest Presbyte- rian Churches in the State. The absolute freedom of their new 36 Tns NouTB CAaoLINA BooxL&r lives made them thankful to Clod and, like unto the Israelites }( of old, when a place of prosperity and happiness was assigned to them, they named their primitive, but happy, settlement I1 the Land of "Goshen" and a stream which runs through the locality of this ancient settlement still bears that name. As to the life of the colonists in these early days, no better description could possibly be given than that in the words of Mcgelway, in his "Scotch Settlements." . "The pioneers came in wagons in which they slept until they could build a �;.i;i house on land of their own selection. The house was built of hewn loge, the interstices stopped with clay, the roof covered with riven boards. One room, one door, and one window closed with a wooden shutter, was the characteristic style of architecture. The furniture of the house consisted of bade, a few stools, it table on which were set pewter dippers and plates, and wooden trenches. A few plow irons and harrow teeth a hoe and mattox, an ase and a broadaxe, wedges, mauls and chisels would be the inventory of the tools on the farm. Cat- tle, sheep and geese, horses and hogs were raised with profit, and from the wool of the sheep the beet clothes of the family were spun. From the geese feathers were plucked for Pillows and feather beds." At this early time, no more cotton was raised than could be 1 seeded, woven and spun by hand, and, as this was a matter of tedium, around each fireside in the winter it was a custom ttl ON for the inmates to do a certain portion of this work. It was itiii not until a later date, with the aid of slaves, that forests were felled and large plantations of cotton grown. There were few Indians to be found at this time in this per - tion of the State and there is no record of hostility springing out between them and our Scotch -Irish Colonists. The ooun- try alternated with woods and swamps, which had among their inhabitants deer, bears, panthers, pole cats, opossums, raccoons, and other wild animal life common to American out-of-door i l j life. This wild animal life is indicated in the names of creeks H$NBY MCCvLLOvaH AND $Ig IZWH SETTLWIMNT 87 and swamps extant today.
