These were men,
" who knew their rights, And knowing, dared maintain.""
Of this illustrious body was HENRY IRWIN. These were the" principles he believed in, and when it became necessary he was willing to spend his for- tune and lay down his life for them.
He was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel, on Sept. 9th, 1775, in the same regi- ment in which Jethro Sumner, afterwards so distinguished in the Revolu- tionary war, was Major.
He fell at the battle of Germantown, in Sept., 1777, at the same time that North Carolina lost a son, whose name is dear to her memory, General Francis Nash, brother of Governor Abner Nash, and uncle to Hon. Frederick Nash, now one of our Judges of the Supreme Court, and Captain Jacob Turner, of Bertie.
Though his body now lies in the soil of another State, his name belongs to Edgecombe, and his fame and character are hers. " His noble career will en- courage others to emulate its example, and his heroic death cheer and inspire her sons.
And by his light, Shall every gallant youth with ardor move, To do brave deeds."
Over his remains at Germantown, by the patriotic liberality of J. F. Watson, Esq.,* a marble has been erected bearing this inscription :-
* The thanks of the State and the gratitude of every individual of North Carolina are due to Mr. Watson, author of " Annals of Philadelphia," for his generous and patriotic liberality to the heroic dead.
He still lives at Germantown, enjoying life, and the regard and respect of all who know him. He has a son at Wilson, in this County, to whom the good hand of fellowship should be extended by our citizens for the noble conduct of his excellent sire.

EDGECOMBE COUNTY.
IN HONOR TO THE BRAVE. Hic jacet in pace. Colonel HENRY IRWIN, of North Carolina, Captain TURNER, Adjutant LUCAS and six SOLDIERS, Killed in the Battle of Germantown. ONE CAUSE, ONE GRAVE. J. F. W.
Colonel Irwin left three sons, and several daughters.
Two of his sons died without issue, the third died leaving a son and two grand-daughters.
One of his daughters married in Halifax, and whose son, Thomas Burgess, died without being married.
. Another daughter married Governor Stokes, whose daughter married the late Wm. B. Lewis, of Tennessee, Auditor of the Treasury of the United States. . Her daughter married Mons. Alphonse Pageot, late Envoy from France to United States.
The sister of Colonel Irwin married Lawrence Toole, whose son, grandson, and great-grandson, bore the name of Henry Irwin Toole, all distinguished for ability, influence, and popularity in Edgecombe.
Hon. James W. Clarke married a daughter of H. I. Toole, the first.
The name of WM. HAYWOOD, of. this county, appears among her men of 1776.
We regret that so little has been collected of his birth, services, and death. The records prove that in various offices, both civil and military, he was a true patriot and useful citizen. He was a member of the Committee of Safety for the Halifax district, 1775, a member of our State Congress at Halifax (April, 1776), and also of the State Congress which met at the same place, in Nov., 1776, which formed the Constitution. He was one of the Committee which framed that Instrument. He was elected one of the Counsellors of State ; the first ever elected in our State (Dec., 1776).
He was the uncle of the late John Haywood, so distinguished both in this State and Tennessee, as a writer and a jurist. He was the father of the late John Haywood, Treasurer of the State from 1787 to 1827, after whom Hay- wood County is called ; and of the late Sherwood, and Stephen, and Wil- liam H. Haywood, Sen'r, of Raleigh, who is the father of the Hon. Wm. H. Haywood, Jr., Senator in Congress, from 1843 to 1846.
JONAS JOHNSON, of this county, is a name which deserves our remembrance and respect. He was a member of the House of Commons, in 1777-78. He was appointed in 1776, an officer (Major), by the State Congress. He left all the comforts of home, and the enjoyments of his family, and joined the standard of his country. He was severely wounded at the battle of Stono, fought in 1779, and died on his way home, leaving several children ; one of whom was the maternal grandfather of Hon. Richard Hines, now.of Raleigh.
Hon. THOMAS BLOUNT, of this county, is distinguished in the civil history of the State."
He was a member of Congress from this district, from 1803 to 1809, and from 1811 to 1812, 1821 to 1823.
He married Jacky, daughter of General Jethro Sumner, of revolutionary renown (see Warren, Chapter LXXVI.), and died at Washington City, with- out issue. He was the brother of the late John Gray Blount, of Washington, and of Governor Wm. Blount, of Tennessee, who was Senator in Congress from that State, and who was expelled from the Senate on July 8th, 1797, for exciting the Indians and others to make hostile incursions in the Spanish Territory.
His widow, Mrs. Mary S. Blount (daughter of General Sumner, who had changed her name from Jacky), died about thirty years ago, bequeathing a portion of her large estate to the Episcopal Church at Raleigh.

HISTORY OF NORTH CAROLINA.
Hon. THOMAS H. HALL is a resident and native of Edgecombe, and now enjoys "a green old age " in retirement, possessing the regard of his country and esteem of his friends. He possesses a liberal education, and is a physician by profession. He springs from a good stock.
In 1817, he was elected a member of Congress, and served until 1825, when he was again a candidate, but defeated by Hon. Richard Hines. He was again elected in 1827, and served until 1835.
He was elected to the Senate of the General Assembly in 1836, and voted against the reception by the State of North Carolina, of any part or portion of the surplus revenue from the United States Treasury. His public career was marked with a devotion to popular interests, a rigid adherence to the Con- stitution, and a stringent economy.
Late John Randolph, of Roanoke, was a devoted friend and constant ad- mirer of Dr. Hall.
Hon. RICHARD HINES represented this county in 1824, and this district in Congress, in 1825. He now resides in Raleigh, and is distinguished as a gentleman of great personal worth and liberal feelings.
Hon. JAMES W. CLARK was a native of Bertie County, and educated at Princeton College, where he graduated in 1796. He was a member of the House of Commons, from Bertie County, in 1802 and 1803, and from Edge- combe, in 1811. He was Presidential Elector in 1812, and a member of the Senate in 1812, '13 and '14, and in 1815, was elected to Congress. He served out his term, and declined a re-election. He was Chief Clerk of the Navy De- partment in 1828, when General Branch held the post of Secretary of the Navy, under General Jackson, which post he soon resigned, and died in the sixty-fifth year of his age, esteemed and loved by all who knew him.
He married the daughter of Colonel Henry Irwin Toole, by whom he had several children.
His son, Colonel Henry T. Clark, is the present Senator from this county.
With the County of Edgecombe, in the councils of the State, for more than thirty years, is associated the name of Lours D. WILSON.
Perhaps no son was ever loved by a fond mother with more idolatry than was this distinguished man by the people of this country, and with all the fer- vor of a devoted son was this feeling reciprocated. "They loved him because he first loved them." His youth and the meridian of his days was spent in 1 her service, and he laid down his life in the cause of his country.
GENERAL LOUIS DICKEN WILSON was born in this county, on the 12th of May, 1789. His education was as good as the state of the country afforded, but he was taught in the great school of human nature, to which books are mere accessories and aids. He was placed at the age of eighteen in a counting-house, in Washington, and there he acquired that practical know- ledge of men, habits of industry, and financial ability, that tended to render him, if not a brilliant, a useful representative of the people.
In 1815, he was first elected a member of the House of Commons ; and from that period to 1846, he was, with but little intermission, a member of one or the other branches of the Legislature.
In 1835, he was a delegate to the Convention to amend the Constitution. In 1842, he was chosen Speaker of the Senate. His name was frequently on the Electoral ticket as Elector of the State, for President and Vice-President. In 1836, as one of the Electors, he voted for M. Van Buren as President, and R. M. Johnson as Vice-President.
The venerable Nathaniel Macon was President of this college. This was Mr. Macon's last public act.
His whole career, embracing a long period of more than thirty years, ex- hibits a uniform and consistent course. In early youth he had taken his po- sition with prudence and examination. The experience of age only tended to strengthen the predilections of his youth. He was a firm, consistent, and. unwavering Democrat. Without any pretensions to brilliancy of eloquence, he sustained his positions with a clearness of argument and strength of rea- soning that elicited the respect, if he failed to convince his opponents.
145
EDGECOMBE COUNTY.
But, if his career as a public man was consistent, successful, and brilliant, this was exceeded by the cause and manner in which he retired from the halls of legislation, never to return.
At this period, our Republic, through its constitutional organs, had de- clared that "war existed with Mexico." American blood had been, shed, and American rights invaded by an arrogant and cruel nation. This called for reparation. The President makes a call on the Governor, and the Gover- nor on the people, for men. Parties were divided, and some delay existed in responding to this call.
Who is that delicate man, with his head frosted with the snows of nearly sixty winters, raising his voice and calling upon the people of Edgecombe to show themselves worthy of their country ? It is Louis D. Wilson. His voice sounds no longer feeble, but is as the sound of a trumpet. The sons of Edgecombe rally around him, and at the head of a company he is the first to offer his services to the Governor. His example is electrical ; the Regi- ment is raised, and the honor of the State preserved. His noble and patriotic conduct touched every heart. He had fought in the civil fields of 1815 for the liberty of his country ; he is now to fight in actual battle for her cause.
On the 31st December, 1846, the journals inform us, that Mr. Wilson asked leave of absence from the Senate. It is granted. Those who witnessed this scene never can forget it. "The aged Senator rises, and, with that ease of manner so peculiar and natural to him, bids them farewell. The Senators in a body rise, and he is gone-never to return !
- 1. The following resolution, reported by the Committee raised upon the sub- ject, speak the record of this interesting occasion .* .
Mr. FRANCIS (Senator from Haywood, Macon, and Cherokee), from the com- mittee raised on the subject, reported the following preamble and resolution :-
" Whereas, the Senate has been informed that one of its members is about to leave the halls of legislation, in North Carolina, to assume the more ardu- ous and perilous duties of the camp and the battle-field, as commander of the volunteer companies from the County of Edgecombe ; and whereas, no differ- ence of opinion as to the commencement of the existing war between the United States and the Republic of Mexico should induce members of this body to withhold an expression of the opinion they entertain as to the self-sacrificing and patriotic conduct of the Senator referred to.
"Be it therefore unanimously resolved by the Senate of North Carolina, now in session, that, in separating from their fellow-member, the Honorable Louis D. Wilson, Senator from Edgecombe, with whom many members of this body have been associated for years in the Senate Chamber, they cannot withhold the expression of their high sense of his able, dignified, and patriotic services as a member of the Senate, and further, to express the conviction that in the more arduous and hazardous duties of the battle-field he will be no less distin- guished for patriotism, courage, and never-failing devotion to the cause of his country.'
On which Mr. Gilmer, of Guilford, called for the yeas and nays, and the resolution passed unanimously.
He marches to Mexico with the North Carolina Regiment, in the humble rank of a subaltern. The President of the United States, without his know- ledge or consent, but by recommendation of the Senators of the State, who differed with General Wilson in politics, appointed him to the command of the 12th Regiment of Infantry in the Army of the United States.
While anxiously and constantly superintending a forward movement of this regiment from Vera Cruz to the Capital, he is seized with the fever of the country, and on the 12th of August, 1847, his generous spirit took its flight to another world.
His munificent legacy "to the poor of Edgecombe" will remain to all time as an evidence of his affection for her people. Nature had made him child- less, that the people of Edgecombe might call him father !
His remains have been brought from Mexico to Tarborough, where a monu- ment marks the hallowed spot. His remains most appropriately rest in
Journal of 1846, (page 132.)

HISTORY OF NORTH CAROLINA.
Edgecombe; but his memory and his name will find a cenotaph in the heart of every North Carolinian.
ELISHA BATTLE was born in Nansemond County, Va., 9th January, 1723. In the year 1743 he moved to Tar River, in this county. In 1771 he was elected a member of the Assembly, and served many years.
He was a member of the State Congress that met at Halifax in November, 1776, which body formed our State Constitution ; 'a firm and decided patriot. He was distinguished for his patriotism and piety, and was an exemplary and consistent member of the Baptist church. He died on the 6th of March, 1799, in the 76th year of his age, leaving several children .*
Hon. WILLIAM H. BATTLE, one of the Judges of our Superior Court, is a native of Edgecombe County.
ยท Judge Battle was born in 1802. He was graduated at Chapel Hill in 1820. He read law with Judge Henderson, and was licensed in 1824.
He entered public life in 1833, and was re-elected in 1834, as a member of the House of Commons from Franklin County.
He was appointed one of the Commissioners under act of 1834, to revise the statute law of the State, with Frederick Nash and James Iredell.
He was appointed Judge of the Superior Court in 1840, and in 1848 he was appointed by the Governor and Council, Judge of the Supreme Court, which, not being confirmed by the Legislature, he resigned in 1848. In 1849 he was elected a Judge of the Superior Court, which appointment. he now holds.
He married in June, 1825, Lucy, daughter of Kemp Plummer, Esq., by whom he has an interesting family. Patient, polite, and laborious, his labors are alike creditable to himself and acceptable to the State. Judge Battle now resides at Chapel Hill, at the university of which he is one of the Pro- fessors (of law).

FORSYTHE COUNTY.
FORSYTHE COUNTY was formed in 1848, from Stokes County.
Forsythe County derives its name from Col. BENJAMIN FORSYTHE, of Stokes County, who resided in Germantown. In 1807, he represented Stokes County in the House of Commons.
In the war of 1812 he was appointed a Captain of a Rifle Company, and marched to Canada, where, in a skirmish in 1814, he was killed. For his biography, see chapter lxxi., Stokes County.

HISTORY OF NORTH CAROLINA.
It is located in the north-western part of the State, and is bounded on the north by Stokes County, east by Guilford County, south by Davidson County, and west by Yadkin County.
Its capital is Winston, and is distant from Raleigh one hundred and ten miles. This village preserves the name of JOSEPH WINSTON, who rendered important military services in the Revolution, and civil services since.
Its population is 9,663 whites ; 1,353 slaves ; 152 free negroes ; 10,666 re- resentative population.
If the history of North Carolina, as has been stated by an eminent writer, is yet to be written, the Legislature, in later days, by recording the names of her sons on her new counties and towns, has endeavored to perpetuate the memory of those who have done her service in the field and Senate, and whose history, when examined and written, is the best record of the State.
The name of Benjamin Forsythe is worthy of being preserved by the State, for his life was offered up on the altar of his country.
The name of JOSEPH WINSTON is one worthy of notice. He was a native of Stokes. He was the early and devoted friend of liberty. In 1775 and 1776, he represented Stokes in the meetings of the patriots of that day. .
He was, in 1777, appointed by Governor Caswell, Commissioner to treat with the Cherokee Indians, and associated with Col. Waightstill Avery, Wil- liam Sharpe, and Robert Lanier, made the treaty of the Long Island of Holston, by which the Indians ceded all their lands lying in the States of Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia.
He was one of those gallant spirits who led the brave mountaineers on the heights of King's Mountain on the 7th of October, 1780, and drove the British and Tories from their position, a position which their officer, Colonel Fergu- son, impiously had declared, "that God Almighty could not drive them from." He was a Major in this battle, and with Colonel McDowell and Se- vier, commanded the right wing in that fierce and bloody affair.
For the particulars of which the reader is referred to Chapter X. (Burke County), biography of General Charles McDowell, and (Chapter XX. Cleave- land County) biography of Governor Isaac Shelby.
In 1791, he was the first Senator'elected from the (then) recently erected county of Stokes, which he occasionally served in the Legislature as late as 1812. He was a member of Congress in 1793 to 1795, and in 1803 to 1807.
He lived near Germantown, and died in 1814, leaving a large family. He was remarkable for his devoted patriotism, and regard for popular rights, and more for these qualities, than for either literary acquirements or intellectual power.
The County of Forsythe has no separate member from Stokes until after the next session of the General Assembly.

FRANKLIN COUNTY.
CHAPTER XXX.
FRANKLIN COUNTY.
FRANKLIN COUNTY was founded in 1779. The General Assembly in that year obliterated the name of Bute, and divided its territory into the counties of Franklin and Warren. It derives its name from Benjamin Franklin, the Philosopher and Sage, who rendered such signal services to his country in the Revolution in a civil capa- city. He was born Jan. 1706, in Boston, and died in Philadelphia, April, 1790, where he lies buried.
It is located near the centre of the State, joining Wake County, in which is the seat of Government. Bounded on the north by Warren, east by Nash, south by Johnson, and west by Wake Counties.
Its capital is Lewisburg, and is distant 36 miles east of Raleigh.
Its early history is connected with Warren, from which old Bute was formed (see Warren, Chapter LXXVI).
" There were no Tories in Bute," was regarded as a fixed fact; the whole country as one man, was for Independence and liberty.
Population of Franklin, 5,685 whites; 5,507 slaves; 521 free negroes ; 9,510 representative population.
Products, 451,909 lbs. tobacco ; 437,277 bushels corn ; 577,993 bushels oats ; 14,456 bushels wheat; 538,320 lbs. cotton; 8,968 lbs. wool.
