(Family History Endnotes)

Regrettably, each of the 1,689individuals included in this report does not have information beyond name,dates, and relationships.  This sectioncontains only the individual and/or family supplemental notes available to theauthor.  So, in a sense it is apotpourri of information rather than a compressive coverage of all people.  Some may call it  a conglomeration, a mishmash, a hodgepodge, or a medley ofinformation.  Regardless of what onecalls it, this division of the family history is valuable in that it provides alot of the facts that substantiate the basis for many of the familyrecords.  Additionally, it providesinteresting reading to the diligent reader who is willing to dig for the facts,tradition, drama, and humor surrounding the Barrett and related families. 

The notes are organized paternallyin alphabetical order of the direct descendants of William Barrett I.  Notes about maternal or family members notpart of the direct Barrett lineage are imbedded along with the associateddirect Barrett descendants.  The formatstarts with the name of the family member in which there is an associatednote(s).  For example any note(s) thatare available for Steven Barrett would follow the caption below:

Steve is the seventh generation fromWilliam Barrett (I), his father, Ralph Barrett is the sixth generation down,etc.  So, it is easy to see whichBarrett line a person is in when we are reading the notes about them.  In virtually all instances, the source ofthe note is given.  Reference should bemade to the Bibliography for more information on the sources.  Finally, cross references to other sectionsof this family history can be accomplished by consulting the Index ofIndividuals at the front of this report.

Folks,

A few years ago when I gave a talk on using slave recordsfor genealogy, a member of the audience recognized a branch of the family thathad moved from AL to TX.  Later she gaveme the following information from the family records of Jewell Westbrook:

Frances E. Fuller, daughter of John B. and Sarah Fuller wasborn in Perry County, Alabama, July 8, 1840; died in Milam County, Texas, Sept.20, 1890; buried in North Elm Cem., Milam County, TX; and was married on Jan.20, 1859 to B.C. Barrett.  In the 1850Census of Gaston Hill, Perry County, Alabama, Perryville Beat, Frances has fivesisters and three brothers all born in Alabama.

From Benjamin Caddell Barrett’s Red Letter Testament andPsalms:

·        Benjamin Caddell Barrett 12-Jan-1834 - 16 June 1920

·        Frances Emma Fuller 08 July 1840 - 20 Sept. 1890  md 20 Jan 1859*

·        Julia Alice Bowlin 13 Feb. 1843 - 9 Feb. 1908  md 18 June 1893

Then there is a list of children ending with

·        DeCass Barrett 12 Mar 1883 - 19 June 1918 and

·        Jewel Barrett 9-May 1909  Daughter of Decass and Donna Barrett

·        (Note: DeCass Barrett md 19 Jan. 1908 to Freedona Otts)

·        Jewel Barrett died 25 Dec. 1927 she was married toAlpin Ray Westbrook

*My reference shows 17 Jan. 1859 from Vol. 2 of EARLYALABAMA MARRIAGES, p72

Much of this repeats information you already have, but thewoman from whom I got it is a direct descendant in this line and a native ofMilam County.

Notes from the 1989 family reunion of the descendants ofDoctor Chalmers Barrett:

Doctor Chalmers Barrett was Samuel’s youngest child.  In1869, he married Margaret H. Stuart whose farther, Samuel D. Stuart, died in1863 from Civil War wounds.  DockBarrett was a farmer and was appointed Constable in 1891 before he died 13,Jan. 1892.  Dock left a widow and sevenchildren and they moved to Hope Mills, NC about 1894 to work in the mill.  The family moved to Massey Hill about 1897to work in the Holt-Morgan Mill. Margaret H. Barrett died 20 Jan. 1918. Children of Dock and Margaret H. Barrett:

Nine of Dock Chalmers Barrett’s grandchildren are living in1889:  Mary Wells and Lucy Barrett(Sam); Virginia Joyce and Dorothy Stratton (Andrew); Chalmus Barrett, MargaretLewis, and Harold Barrett (Frank); Virgil Cashwell and Margaret Cashwell(Lula).  (According to Charles M.Barrett, the Samuel Barrett Bible was in the possession of Margaret Cashwell in1990.  The Bible had been rebound andwas in excellent condition and care. Their family holds regular reunions at the Massey Hill Baptist church, achurch they were responsible for founding. Margaret Cashell lived in Parkton, NC)

ELIZABETH³BARRETT  (WILLIAM², WILLIAM¹)was born April 10, 1807 in Moore County, NC, and died November 27, 1899 inLauderdale County, AL.  She marriedJACOB STUTTS Abt. 1825 in Moore County, NC, son of HENRY STUTTS.  He was born 1808 in Moore County, NC, anddied January 6, 1877 in Lauderdale County, AL.

Notes From Betty Hill Mason and Katherine Shields Melvin:

The Stutts family were neighbors of the Barretts.  Jacob and Elizabeth were living on BigJuniper and McLendon Creeks at the 1850 Moore County, NC Census.  Jacob was a comparatively wealthy man forhis day, with property worth over a thousand dollars.  He was born in 1800.  Hewas called "Drummer Boy Jake" as he had been a drummer boy in the warof 1812.  It is said that every fourthof July, he got out his ancient drum whose beat had set the step for AndrewJackson's troops on their way to New Orleans. (told and passed down by older members of the family). Jacob was thoughtto be the son of Henry Stutts, born 1775, and Lucy Lakey.  Henry was the youngest son of Jacob and ElizabethStutts.

Elizabeth and Jacob moved to Lauderdale County, Alabama in1858, bringing along most of their family and other children followed later.

Jacob "Drummer Boy" Stutts died on January 6, 1877and was buried at North Carolina Cemetery, Green Hill, AL.  His wife, Elizabeth Barrett, lived twentytwo years longer, reaching the age of ninety two.  She, also, is buried at North Carolina Cemetery, Green Hill,AL.  The inscription on her tomb reads," Sleep on dear Mother, and take your rest, God called you home, he thoughtit best."  Elizabeth and Jacob havemany descendants still living in Lauderdale County, but they must have alsoalways remembered North Carolina with fondness, since the Cemetery where theyare all buried carries the name of that State.

Notes on the Children of ELIZABETHBARRETT and JACOB STUTTS:

Church while here.  He died soon after he got back to NorthCarolina.  Somehow, I question his beingBaptist for all the Moore County Stutts were staunch Methodists, and alwayshave been.

·        William B.Stutts, b. 1829, Moore County, NC; d. Bef. 1870; lived near Corinth,Miss.  One of his children isknown:  Lucy, who married anAttaway.  A William Stutts died inArkansas before 1870.  His widow movedback to Mississippi with their three small children.

They came to Killen, Alabama (Lauderdale County)during the Civil War, about 1862 or later.  Her brother, Walter, went back to Carthage,  North Carolina and persuaded them to come. Lucy and the childrencame by train.  The others came in acovered wagon and it took them a month to get to Alabama.  Lucy Frye recounted that during the war shewould give the Masonic sign and the Yankees would leave them alone.  Young William Wesley Stutts fled NorthCarolina at about this same time.  Hewas sent by his family to escape capture by the Federals for having killed aNegro, and fled to his nearest relative, Jacob Stutts, Lucy's father.  He lived with Lucy and John M. Frye afterreaching Alabama.  A descendant writesthat Lucy was an invalid for seven years before her death.  Besides her own children, Lucy and herhusband reared an orphan boy, Clark Oscar Frye.

In an 1998 message from Kevin Barrett to Glenda Biggerstaff,Kevin says:  John had a granddaughterstill living in 1995 (Jeremiah Barrett continued having children until age 70)and she was 101 then (in 1995).  In awritten document she says that John died of cholera while on a raft in New  Orleans, LA in 1830.  I'm not sure what he was doing there, butI'm talking to a few relatives that know more about this story, so maybe I'llfind out soon.  Elizabeth HancockBarrett brought her seven children to Wilson Co., TENN. They arrived in March1831.  Elizabeth rode a horse and carriedbaby Jeremiah in her lap.  The other 6children rode in a wagon pulled by oxen. The ground was frozen during part of their trip, so the oxen's hoovesbegan wearing down and bleeding. Elizabeth tied burlap sacks around the hooves so they could make it therest of the way.  She then taught schoolin Vine, TN and remarried Cosby H. Cox in 1836.  All of this comes from John and Elizabeth's granddaughter. 

Elizabeth Hancock  b. February 12, 1795  Moore County, NC

Notes from Kevin Barrett and Benjamin Lester Carroll:

I believe Elizabeth was the daughter of William and PattyHancock of Moore County, and her grandparents were Samuel Hancock and MildredDawson.  I do know that Elizabeth leftMoore County.  She put her 6 children ina wagon pulled by 2 oxen.  She rode ahorse ahead of them and carried her newborn son, Jeremiah Barrett, in herarms.  They traveled from Randolph/Moorecounty, NC to Wilson Co., TN.  Theyarrived in March 1831.  For some strangereason, they traveled during the winter. The ground was frozen, so the oxen's hooves began to bleed and weardown. Elizabeth tied burlap bags around them so they could make it the rest ofthe trip.  She taught school in Vine,Wilson County, TN, and remarried Cosby H. Cox in 1836.

Notes From Glenda Merriwether Biggerstaff:

According to writings of my g grandmother, Lucy LeeEccleston Sears, Margaret had a daughter in August 1867, the child and motherdied at the same time, and were buried together. (per Sam Richardson, Jr.)

Notes From Miscellaneous Ancient Records of Moore County,NC, p. 332, By Rassie Wicker:

Rev. Noah Richardson, father of William B. Richardson:“William and Thomas Richardson were living on the south side of Deep River asearly as 1747, and are thus the first families known to have lived in MooreCounty.  There is no further record ofThomas, but William apparently came down on McLendon’s Creek and lived on thesoutheast side of the stream, near Bethlehem Church.  David Richardson was drawn several times for jury duty, but wherehe live is not known.  Drury Richardsonlived near the heads of McCollum’s Fork and Buffalo Creek, in the vicinity ofMcConnell.  He is supposedly theancestor of later generations of the family in Moore (Rev. Noah, William,Sr.)  Stephen Richardson lived on theold Salem road, between Buffalo and Bear Creeks.  William Richardson apparently lived in the same area.”

Notes From Glenda Merriwether Biggerstaff:

William Brantley Richardson was well known throughoutMoore Co. He was a Civil War veteran where on March 07, 1862, he was given therank of Colonel, 51st Reg., Moore Co., 13th Brigade Militia. William wasSenator to the State Assembly in 1866 and in 1870 he was the third richest manin the county.  He was a farmer, revenuecollector, and made and sold whiskey. He married Lexie Barbour afterMargaret died in 1867.  There were 6children by the marriage to Lexie in addition to the 7 by the first marriage.

There is some mystery surroundinghis death and Louis Grimm Sr.(His son in law.) Tradition has it that the majority of the land that was owned by Williamwas 'stolen'.  This land is where thePinehurst Hotel is currently standing. The court house burned down shortly after William’s death in 1891.  A group of businessmen, including a judge,had been trying to acquire the Richardson land, William refused to sale.  Shortly after William’s death the courthousewas burned, and the deeds were lost in the fire.  Louis Grimm Sr., had taken the deeds in a satchel to Carthage tore-record them.  He stopped at the localhotel where he was offered and took a drink from an associate of thebusinessmen that killed him.  Thesatchel disappeared.  Shortly afterwardsthe deeds were registered to the businessmen. Elizabeth Richardson Kelly sued. It is said that on the death bed of one of the attorneys for the Kelly'sthat he confessed that he had been in cahoots with the businessmen to acquirethe land and had been paid very well to lose the case.

On Alexander Kellys death bed, hewanted Elizabeth to take the children and move to Texas as he was fearful fortheir lives because of the lawsuit. Which she did.

I suspect that Lexie BarbourRichardson, was also in the goings on as William did not leave a will.  For a man that seemed to have his affairs inorder to not leave a will is questionable. Also, the remaining land which was not acquired by the businessmen wentto Lexie and her children only.  Courtrecords pertaining to the administration of William B. Richardson’s estatefollow:

Sanford Hearld, Friday, May 16, 1975,Sanford, NC 27330, By Bruce Smith:

Parkwood: just a memory; in the early 1800's Parkwoodmanufactured millstones.  In the middle1800's Louis Grimm from Chambersburg, PA came to Carthage to install boilerequipment and an engine at Tyson and Jones Buggy Co.  He came upon the old millstone quarry in Parkwood, told hisemployers Ed and George Taylor and convinced them to form the North CarolinaMillstone Company, which Louis became head. Louis had erected a telephone line from Parkwood to Cameron, approx. 18miles, which in the area was known as the longest telephone line in the world.Burial: Parkwood, Moore, NC.

AfterLouis' death, Lucy Lee Richardson Grimm could not deal with it. She told family and friends that Louis was on a business trip and wouldreturn shortly.  Elizabeth RichardsonKelly, Lucy's sister, had her committed to Dorthea Dix Hospital in Raleigh.

LouisGrimm, Sr. had several grandchildren; two included: Herman b.  February 11, 1902,  Pinehurst, NC and Randolph, b. November 1, 1904.  Herman was the sheriff of MooreCounty in the 1930’s while Randolph played on the 1932 Moore County baseball team  with Ralph Barrett.  See photo.

·        Lillian BrantleyRichardson, b. June 19, 1864, MooreCounty, NC; d. February 22, 1945, Norfolk, VA; m. (1) Norris Palmer Eccleston,Abt. 1879, Moore County, NC; b. July 24, 1842, CT; d. January 16, 1897,Philadelphia, PA; m. (2) Sion Buchanan, Abt. 1889; m. (3) Fred A Husted, Aft. 1900.

Lillie married at a very earlyage; i.e.at fifteen.  She was theyoungest of 6 daughters - three years old when her mother, Margaret AnneBarrett Richardson died during childbirth in 1867.  William, her father, “married off” the daughters as soon as hecould.  Lillie married Norris PalmerEccleston, Sr., a much older man from PA (Hewas 37 when they were married.)  Whathappened after the birth of their last child (James B Eccleston) to Norris is not known. What is known, however, is that by 1900 Lillie had another daughter,Daisy Pauline (Daisy Pauline Buchanan Eccleston), who’s father was SionBuchanan of  Sanford, NC.  Sion furnished a house in Jonesboro, presentday Sanford, and servants for Lillie and the children.  In Sion’s will he left Daisy Pauline aconsiderable amount of money and property. He also left money to Lillie.  Itis said that after Sion’s death, his widow moved in with Lillie until the houseburned down around 1905.  Lillie thenmoved to Norfolk, VA and opened a boarding house which she ran until herdeath.  Mother realls visiting her as alittle girl and    remembers everymorning Lillie would collect the rent in a basket and take it to the bank.

Lucy Lee Eccleston was the third child of Lillie andWilliam Richardson; b. April 19, 1883 in Carthage, NC; and married Doctor FrankSears, July 25, 1900. It is said that Lucy and Doctor Frank Sears were divorced, no one knowsfor sure about this.  Evidence indicatesthat they did not live together for great lengths of time.  She is known to have worked in Norfolk, VAand Doctor Frank  was in Carthage withthe kids farming.  She traveled to CA in1940 with her daughter, Beverly Hortense Sears  Breach, Antonio Lamberti, son in law (husband of DaisyMargaret Sears), Jim, her son and Martha Breach, her granddaughter.  She wrote numerous letters to Daisy SearsLamberti recanting the trip. I remember well, shortly after my parents divorced,my mom and sisters and I went to NC to visit Lucy.  At the time I was not aware of why we went.  It seems that the helicopters of Ft. Braggwere flying over the land and she was shooting at them.  The Army did not appreciate it.

Two of Lucy Lee Eccleston’schildren were Daisy Margaret Sears, b. February 8, 1904 and FrankDouglas Sears, b. October 28, 1905.  Daisy Margaret was truly anindependent woman.  Even though Daisywas born blind in one eye, she worked her way through William and Mary Collegein Virginia..  While attending collegeshe would hitchhike on Friday after classes as far as she could stay wherevershe was on Saturday, then hitchhike back on Sunday.  She attended school with Sue Gallup Morris, wife of Frank DSears.  One summer, Daisy and Sue wentto England, bought bicycles and rode across Europe.  They ended up in Japan, where Daisy was arrested because sherefused to walk behind a man.  In 1994in San Diego, there was a birthday celebration for her 90th year.  Daisy worked as a CPA for many years, andeven after retiring, she worked from home for special clients.  Daisy is also an astrologer, she has devotedmany hours into teaching astrology and philosophy.  She had no children.

I remember visiting Uncle FrankDouglas Sears and Aunt Sue in the California desert.  Uncle Frank smoked a pipe and I loved thesmell of it.  As a child he would domagic by making the fire turn different colors; we were so amazed.  Uncle Frank and Aunt Sue had a dog namedSmiley and we would play with him.  Whenwe visited after returning from Hawaii, it was with sadness that we learnedthat Smiley was no longer with them.  Hehad gone outside during a sand storm and never returned.  Uncle Frank worked with wood.  He made me a toy chest which I stillhave.  Aunt Sue made the design patternand Uncle Frank carved the designs in the chest.  I now use the chest at the foot of my bed.  He also made a table with 4 stools for mysisters and me.  Our names were carvedon each stool and the underside of the table says "To the four Merriwethergirls from Uncle Frank and Aunt Sue." I truly loved being with them. Some of the best times of my childhood where spent at Uncle Franks andAunt Sue’s.  Uncle Frank left home, NC,stating he would never go back to NC, which he did not.

Norris Palmer Eccleston, Jr.b. February 21, 1880 and d. January 20, 1902. When a baby, he was incarriage and went down some steps, causing him to walk with a limp theremainder of his life.  Norris Jr. wasvery close to his sister Lucy.  She wasa second mother to him even though she was younger.  Norris Jr. died before seeing his first niece.  He died while working at the railroad.

PATIENCE¹ was born Abt. 1732, and died Bet. 1796 -1800 in Moore County, NC.  She married WILLIAM BARRETT I.  He birthdate unknown, and died Bef. 1765 inMoore County,NC.

Patience was an early settler of Moore County, whereher  name appears on numerous landtransactions, as shown on a map drawn by R.E. Wicker in 1956.  The map indicates that she may have settledthere in 1765 near Campbell and McLeod's Mill (Also known as Martin’s Milllocated about where Beulah Hill Road crosses Mclendon Creek.)  The 1790 Moore County Census shows aPatience Barrett with 1 male under 16 and 4 females in the household, p44.Patience is estimated to have been born around 1720-30.  If this be true the people in the householdmost likely were here daughters and a male grandchild??? If the male is herchild, Patience would most likely have been born circa 1730 or later.

Notes From Allen Barwick:

Ralph Barrett, born and raised in Pinehurst is the reasonfor this publication.  As happens tomost of us as we grow older, Ralph developed a keen interest in the BarrettFamily History and in the people of Pinehurst in general.  His love for people and his penchant fortelling stories of his early days in Pinehurst has resulted in a lot ofmaterial that needs to be printed, but insufficient space and time will not allowit all here.  One interesting story thatRalph likes to tell relates to a trip he once took to Carthage with his olderbaseball coach and team mate, Randy Grimm.

Ralph as a teenager, with time on his hands, liked to hangaround the Pinehurst Corporation Garage to listen to the tales of the mechanicsand drivers of taxies, trucks and ambulances that were kept there.  Additionally, he would sometimes get a jobto drive a taxi or limo to pick up an important guest or dignitary staying inPinehurst and besides, they gave big tips. As Ralph says, there were two categories of people in Pinehurst; i.e.,those that worked and those that played. While Ralph and his brothers got in plenty of play time, they were ofthe working citizens of Pinehurst. Randolph (Randy) Grimm was an older, more experienced person who hadplayed professional baseball and had seen the world.  His age, experience and know-how resulted in the managers ofPinehurst Corporation entrusting him with the bigger jobs coming out of thegarage establishment.  One such job wasdriving one of the old ambulances that they kept jacked up in the garage sothey could push it off the blocks without having to crank it when an emergencycame.  Of course, a town like Pinehurstin the 1920’s had very little excitement outside of that the guests paid tosee.  Thus, when an emergency camecalling for the ambulance, it was a big deal and honor to drive it and to ridealong if invited.  It took two people todrive the contraption; i.e., one to drive and one to hand crank the siren.  Ralph’s lucky day came when Randy yelled outto Ralph (who he often called “Shuffling Phil” a name recalled from asore-armed pitcher of the Moore County Baseball Team.) “Shuffling Phil you wantto go with me to crank the siren?”  Theyhad a dire emergency in Carthage, some 10 miles away, that required anambulance.  He didn’t have to ask Ralphtwice.  So off they went.  Outside the city limits of Pinehurst, Randytold Shuffling Phil he could let up on the siren since it was about to deafenthem both.  But, he made it clear thatas they went by places or homes of people they knew, especially around thecourthouse circle in Carthage, that he was to crank that noisy machine with allhis might.  Going around the courthousein Carthage making all that noise and with the ambulance going as fast as itwould go was a life changing experience for Ralph - one that he recalls to thisday.  When asked if the patient lived,Ralph sort of mumbled that it was a false alarm or the person they were goingto pick up decided that they didn’t need a lift after all.  But who cared- you took what came your wayregardless when you lived in Pinehurst during the pre-depression days.

Mary Evelyn de Nissoff, Columnist for the Pilot hascaptured some of Ralph’s story in a September 9, 1999 article part of which hasbeen reprinted below:

MORE PINEHURSTNATIVES AROUND THAN EXPECTED

In his column of Aug. 16,Pilot editor Steve Bouser concluded that natives of Pinehurst are alwaysrestless; strange “because there aren’t any natives there.”

In my column the following week,I challenged the statement, asking those fortunate born here to “stand up andbe counted.”

My neighbor, Ralph Barrett, oneof only about a half dozen who phoned me said, “ I’m thankful I’m still here tocall.”  He believes that, at age 85, heand his only surviving brother, Bob, 87, are possibly the oldest survivingmales to have been born in Pinehurst.

Before he and Willa retired toPinehurst about eight years ago after raising their three children Carol, Susanand Steve, Ralph managed the A&P Store in Sanford for 45 years.  Bob worked in the Post Office and was acaddie master at the Pinehurst Country Club for many years.

There is one sister, Betty.  Brother, Myron, who died about a year ago,became a golf pro while working for Donald Ross and went on to Linville andWheeling, W. Va. before retiring. Leonard, who died recently, managed the Pinehurst CC, later, worked forthe state.  Ralph thinks this is “awonderful place.  I can’t believe Pinehursthas been kept so nice as it is now.  Ifyou have people coming in, you have growth to supply their needs.”

In the same article RassieWicker’s daughter,  Eloise WickerKnight, a neighbor of Ralph’s, was quoted: “I count myself lucky, even blessed,to have grown up in this special place when I did.  I don’t imagine there has been another such place in theworld.” 

As mentioned elsewhere, Ralph along with his brotherLeonard, have contributed to the vast knowledge base of the Barrett FamilyHistory.

FIRSTAUTO IN CARTHAGE OWNED BY DR. WILLCOX

SouthernPines Pilot, c. 1920

There are fewindividuals around now who can remember when the first automobile was shippedto Carthage - but it was in 1908 and was owned by Dr. J.W. Willcox, who hadjust returned here after residing in the North for a number of Years.

The car was anold Schact, and was purchased by Dr. Willcox from a firm in Cincinnati. Ohio,for about $800.  It was shipped here byexpress.

Dr. Willcox keptthe car for little more than two years before he sold it to a man by the nameof Kennedy who resided in the Chandler’s Pond community.

The engine ofthat ancient vehicle was located in the rear, and it was necessary to approachit fro behind in order to crank it.  Dr.Willcox once stated that this old “daddy rabbit of Moore County automobiles”gave him good service, he said he had more trouble from those who resented thecontraption than he did with the car itself.

The vehicle wasequipped with big wheels and solid rubber tires.  The first automobile to make its appearance in Carthage arrivedhere in the spring of 1908. 

At that time nolicense plates were necessary (many people today would like that feature).  Imagine - gasoline could be bought then forthe small sum of 8 cents per gallon.

Fuel for Dr.Willcox’s auto had to be ordered from far away.  However, at times he could purchase some at the town drug storefrom Fulton Cole, who generally kept a little on hand for cleaning purposes.

Dr. Willcoxstated that horses and mules were not as terrified of the automobile as weretheir drivers.  He once remarked that“nearly every time I would meet a wagon or buggy, the driver would go sawing onthe lines, and would turn his team out into the woods, not daring to stop untilhe was maybe  100 yards from the road.

“And then, too,many of the citizens bitterly resented the arrival of the automobile in thearea.  I well remember Uncle Ben Cleggbawling me out once for passing his house at what I deemed a very moderategait.  I must not have been going m orethan 15 miles an hour at the time,” he said.

Alex Muse,another Carthage resident at that time, reportedly said that a man who woulddrive one of these new-fangled things ought to be hanged.

Once, inremarking about his automobile - he always loved to talk about that firstvehicle - Dr. Willcox said: “I was out driving one afternoon with Dr. Shieldsand a few miles from Carthage in the vicinity of Bethlehem Church we saw abuggy, occupied by Mrs. Roscoe Barrett and another lady, coming toward us.  As soon as they saw us they leaped from theseat, one going  one way and one goingin an opposite direction.

“We halted thevehicle, and Dr. Shields walked calmly up to the animal drawing the buggy andled it past the car without difficulty.

“He then turnedto the ladies with a courteous bow and said: “Now, ladies, I have gotten themule by, and, if you will permit, I shall be glad to lead you past the car.”

After he sold theSchact, Dr. Willcox owned a pair of old Brush cars, one of which he sold toCicero Sullivan.  These cars, he said,also gave good service.  He said he hadseen Mr. Sullivan load up the Brush with a half-dozen colored sawmill hands andpull every hill between his home and town in “high.”

The Brush autohad a rear axle made of hickory wood (which one owner is said to have proven toa skeptical friend by pulling out his knife and whittling off a good sizedsplinter).

Dr. Willcox saidthe old Brush would take him to Aberdeen in 45 minutes - which at that time,considering the winding unpaved roads, was a pretty good speed for aone-cylinder vehicle.  That old car, Dr.Willcox once remarked, had “the best springs I have ever seen.”

ROSCOECONKLIN⁶ BARRETT, JR  (ROSCOECONKLIN⁵, DAVID SAMUEL⁴, SAMUEL³, WILLIAM²,WILLIAM¹) was born October 8, 1906 in Monroe, NC, and died April 18,1988 in Raleigh, NC.  He married HELENHORTON 1937.  She was born March 8, 1904in Zebulon, NC, and died October 1981 in Raleigh, NC.

Roscoe Conklin Barrett, Jr. was a 1929 graduate of UNC andserved as a Lieutenant in the US Navy during World War II.  He had the distinction of playing as centeron the first organized high school football team in Sampson County, NC.  The Sampson Independent, December 26, 1982gives an account of this first team and parts of this article are presentedbelow:

FOOTBALL, 1922STYLE:  FIRST TEAM CAME FROM INGOLD

By L. D. Trantum

“Saturday, Sept. 30, 1922, was abeautiful fall day in eastern North Carolina. On that afternoon, 60 years ago, four young men from the newly-formedIngold Consolidated High School attended the football game between Wake Forestand the University of North Carolina, played in Goldsboro.  (UNC won that game 62-3.)  They were elected to attend in order to getideas about how to plan and play the game.

. . .   there was a nice level field just behind the school.  Practice started immediately.  A total of 12 sometimes 13 turned out for practiceevery  lunch hour.  About five minutes was devoted to eating thelunch each brought from home, the other 55 minutes were devoted tofootball.  There was no coach and thereis no record of a captain.  . . .  Except for those who saw the game inGoldsboro, no one on the team had ever seen a football game.  . . . The day of the first game arrived butthe uniforms did not.  So in theoveralls used for practice sessions and hand cleated shoes the team from Ingoldtook the field against Warsaw for a practice game of 10 minute quarters.  Warsaw was victorious 66-6.  . . . The second year, Mr. R. C. Barrett,principal of the school, made an effort to help the team by devoting some timeto coaching, and the editor of a Clinton newspaper came to Ingold on severaloccasions to help by coaching the squad in fundamentals.  (Roscoe C. Barrett, Sr., had never playedthe game.). . .  The third game playedbetween Ingold and Warsaw was won by Ingold.”

In cruel irony, R.C. Barrett, Sr. was stricken with a stokethat eventually killed him while he was attending a UNC - University of Georgiafootball game in Athens, GA.

Note From Charles M. Barrett:

Helen Horton, Roscoe Jr.'s wife, was from Zebulon,but after the death of her father, her Mother moved to Durham and lived to anadvanced age.  Her father was owner of acotton mill there.  She had twobrothers, Jim and Norman, both deceased. She was a graduate of Duke U. and taught school all of her adultlife.  They were childless. However,they were great cat and dog lovers. Helen had two large Persian cats, Mike and Ike, which she used to feedfrom her best china.  They had twoCocker Spaniels, the last named Pudgy and Buffie.  She would give the two cats their baths, then wrap them in towelsand place them on the open oven door to dry, with the oven putting out lowheat.

I am pretty sure they were married in 1937, and likely inGraham, since the group photo I sent to you is taken on the steps of Walter andFrances Barrett's home in Graham at the time of Roscoe and Helen's marriage.

SAMUEL³BARRETT  (WILLIAM², WILLIAM¹)was born December 3, 1802 in Moore County, NC, and died July 12, 1890 in MooreCounty, NC.  He married ELIZABETH LEEGRAHAM April 6, 1828 in Moore County, NC, daughter of ROBERT GRAHAM andMARGARET MCLEOD.  She was born March 29,1806 in Moore County, NC, and died November 17, 1879 in Moore County, NC.

Samuel Barrett became one ofthe wealthiest men in Moore Co. owning much land in and around Carthage.  He owned and ran the Carthage Hotel in1860.  Three of his sons served in theCivil War; i.e., Alexander, David Samuel, and William Riley.  Three sons graduated from UNC.  Samuel died 1890.

Notes From Glenda Merriwether Biggerstaff:

Samuel was baptized by Rev. William Henry Harrison LawhonSept. 28, 1870.  After his death, he wasburied at the old home place called the Golden Grove on road # 1264 nearBethlehem Church, Moore County, NC. He filed for fathers, William Barrett II,Rev. War Pension on May 13, 1852 (See William Barrett II notes.)  In the 1852 Moore County Tax List, SamuelBarrett is listed as having the following property: 2 town lots (280 value),805 acres   (1500 value), and 11 blackpoll (black male slaves).

Katharine Shields Melvin was the author of the followingarticle that occurred in the Southern Pines/Moore County Pilot in theearly 1980s.

CARTHAGE IS WITHOUT AHOTEL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN PAST CENTURY

I was in Carthage last week, andseeing the bare walls of the Carthage Hotel still standing, just prior todemolition, I wondered if an article on the history of the town and its hotelsmight be timely.  When the “walls cometumbling down” on this particular Carthage institution, an era will have gone,and for the first time in over a century our county seat will be without ahotel.

I do not claim this to be anoriginal paper: it has been culled from Meade Seawell’s excellent Book: Taleof a Tarheel Town (and from Manley Wade Wellman’s The County of Moore:1847-1947) and also the late Rassie Wicker’s (Miscellaneous Ancientrecords of Moore County).  I amsimply summing and putting into historical perspective what they laboriouslydug out of history and hearsay. 

Samuel Barrett operated thePlanters Hotel, begun in 1850 and completed in 1851.  It stood on the location of the present Seawell building.  For sixty-two years it saw active service.  It faced the town square, and was atwo-story building with an upstairs and downstairs porch, and an outsidestaircase.  Sam Barrett first ran theplace, and then his son: David Barrett, took over.  He was followed by Sandy Campbell, in 1876, and then by Mrs. C.J.Shaw, who renamed the hotel the Carthage Hotel.  About 1890 the property was acquired by Col. A. H. McNeill, andafter his marriage to the widow Worthy, she became the manager and changed thename of the place to the Hamilton House - Hamilton being the middle name ofCol. McNeill.  One of her daughters wasMiss Mary Worthy, later to become the wife of U.L. Spence.  In the year 1908 Mrs. Etta Cook took over asmanager, and served in that capacity until 1913 when the old hotel was removedto a back lot where it served as a storage place until it was sold anddismantled in 1927.  So ends one saga ofhotel life in Carthage!

SOLOMON²BARRETT  (WILLIAM¹) was bornAbt. 1758, and died Bet. 1820 - 1830.

Notes From Glenda Merriwether Biggerstaff:

 1790 MooreCounty, NC Census: (01-01-01-00-00) Head of household- Solomon Barrett 16 or older, one male under 16,1 female - most likely his wife.

1820 Moore County, NC Census: (4-0-0-0-0-1//1-1-0-1-0) Four free white males less than 10, one free white male 45 or older (Head ofhousehold -Solomon Barrett); one free white female less than 10, one free whitefemale 10 to 16; one free white female 25-45. This suggests that Solomon had 6 children (some could have beengrandchildren) - 4 male and 2 female. His age was older than 45 and his wife’s age between 26 and 45. 

Moore County NC Land Records:

·        10 Mar 1786 -- Solomon Barrett enters 50 acres onwaters of McLendons Creek border John McNeills,

·        Mar 20 1788 -- Soloman Barrett enters 15 acres on bothsides of McLendons Creek; includes his own improvement, border PatienceBarrett, McLeod and near Robert Graham; warrant issued ,

·        Nov. 22 1796 -- Thomas Graham enters 100 acres on Sside of McLendons Creek border Robert Graham Sr. and Patience Barrett; includesSoloman Barretts hog pen on Ridge

Melvin indicates that he died between 1820-30.

WILLIAM¹BARRETT I Birth date and place unknown, and died Bef. 1765 in Moore County,NC.  He married PATIENCE Unknown.  She was born Abt. 1732, and died Bet. 1796 -1800 in Moore County, NC.

Notes From Miscellaneous Ancient Records of Moore County,NC, By Rassie Wicker:

According to Rassie Wicker (p 311), William Barrett Isettled on McLendon's creek just below the Martin Mill tract.  He died very early, and his widow, PatienceBarrett,  continued to live at thisplace.  There is very little informationon William Barrett I and all information has been based on estimates orguesses.

WILLIAM²BARRETT II  (WILLIAM¹) wasborn February 1754 in Moore County, NC, and died March 1, 1840 in Moore County,NC.  He married ANNE SOWELL Abt. 1782 inMoore County, NC, daughter of ISAAC SOWELL and MARY QUIMBY.  She was born Abt. 1768 in Cumberland County,NC, and died December 1840 in Moore County, NC.

Summary of Notes:

It is thought that this William was Patience Barrett's sonand the father of William (1793) of Moore County.  William Barrett was one of the original Justices in the firstCourt of Moore County in 1784.  He alsoserved in the North Carolina General Assembly three terms and played animportant role in civic and

governmental affairs during early development of MooreCounty.

Notes From Miscellaneous Ancient Records of Moore County,NC, p 323, By Rassie Wicker:

James Muse, (I) came down from Virginiaand settled on the south side of Deep River, above the mouth of McLendon’sCreek in 1755, upon a tract of land purchased of James Barton.  He died here, his will being dated 30 March,1758.  He lists James, Thomas and Danielas his sons.  James and perhaps all hisbrothers came down on McLendon’s Creek in the vicinity of Carthage.  James, the most active of these, immediatelybegan the entry of many tracts of land on McLendon’s Creek, Killet’s Creek andthat general area, and purchased others. In February, 1776, he joined the “McDonald” army, and was captured atMoore’s Creek.  He eluded captorssomewhere on their trek to Philadelphia, and returned home.  He evidently took the oath, as he remainedin the county afterward.  His wife,Charity, believed by the writer to have been Charity Dickerson, daughter ofRobert Dickerson, who was a near neighbor of the elder James’s family on DeepRiver, was awarded by the Moore Court, the Cross Hill house and lands whichJames, Jr. had sold Dr. Alexander Morrison, and which was confiscated onaccount of Morrison’s part in McDonald’s army. It is the writer’s opinion that she made this place her home during herlatter days.  Jesse Muse, son James, Jr.married a daughter of George Glascock, and seems to be the ancestor of theCarthage branch of the family.  Theexact location of James, Jr.’s. home has eluded a long search by thewriter.  It was probably at or near thepresent crossing of NC Rt. 27 of McLendon’s and Killet’s Creeks.

Joel McLendon  Moore County, NC

Joel McLendon was not a member of the Barrett family, but heplayed an important role in the overall history in that many of his vast landtransactions in the 1700s were with Patience, William, Solomon, and otherBarretts.  Therefore a brief account ofhis history as given by Rassie Wicker follows:

Notes From Miscellaneous Ancient Records of Moore County,NC, pg. 448 ff., By Rassie Wicker:

“These families, in common with several early Moore countysettlers, came over into this region from along the Pee Dee river in what wasthen Anson county, they having appeared there as early as 1740.  They may have been Ulster Scots who had comedown the Yadkin-Pee Dee or the Catawba rivers, from their settlements in whatis now Mecklenburg county, though their Christian and given names suggest thatinstead, they were pure Irish.     Therewas Francis, perhaps the father; Joel, Jacob and Jemima, perhaps the childrenof Francis, and some others, among them Thomas, who settled on Tom’s creek.between Carthage and Bethlehem church; Samuel, Dennis, Isaac and John.,  Jemima soon after, married a Dumas andreturned to Anson, if indeed she had come with the others to Moore.  Francis died in March, 1772, Joel and Jacobbeing named administrators of his estate.    Of them, Joel and Jacob were the more active.  They both made entries on Buck (later, McLendon’s) creek,including its mouth, across the river from Alston house, as early as 1748,being preceded only by the Griffith (Alston plantation)  grants of 1747.  At that time and for a short while thereafter, this stream wascalled Buck creek, but as was customary in such cases, it soon became known forthe first settlers on it - the McLendons. Many additional grants were made to Joel and Jacob, practically alllying on this same stream or its tributaries. In the year 1758, Joel received a grant for two hundred acres, lying onboth sides of the creed, and it was on this tract that h made his home; built agrist - mill and cleaned much land.  From the Cumberland Court Minutes of May, 1763:  “ . . . ordered, that the grist mill whichJoel McLendon has built on McLendon’s creed be a public grist mill, he actingin said mill as the law directs.”   Andat the May, 1764 term, it was :  “ . ..  ordered, that a road be laid out fromSandhill Smith’s (west of Big Oak Church), to Joel Mclendon’s mill onMcLendon’s creek,  thence to the DeepRiver (Old Salem) road about three miles below Dunham’s creek (between UnionChurch and Vass), and that Joel and Jacob McLendon are appointed overseers ofsaid road.”  This road was known then,as it is no, as the Joel Road.   OnOctober 26, 1779, Joel conveyed the northern half (100 acres) to WilliamBarrett.  In this deed he refers tohimself as “of Montogomery county,” indicating that he no longer lived inMoore.   Finally, on November 20, 1787,he conveyed the southern half (100 acres) including the house, barns and millto Robert Graham.  It is pretty certainthat with this sale to Graham, the McLendons cut their ties with Moore county,and returned to old Anson.  Thereafter,Joel appeared on Brown creek, southwest of Wadesboro, in present-day Anson,while Jacob bought and entered land in present-day Stanly county.”
