He had married Betsey Cotten, daughter of Godwin Cotten, of Mulberry Grove, and resided near there. He was of the same name and nephew of Governor Johnston, of Chowan. He was a man of high culture, but died too young to attain the traditional prominence and usefulness of his family. He left two children, Reverend Samuel J. Johnston, D.D., for years rector of St. Paul's, Edenton, and Sallie Anne, who married James D. Wynns. Esther Cotten, the only other child of Godwin Cotten, married in 1804 James Wright Moore, of Virginia. He was the son of Captain William Edward Moore, and was noted for his manly and noble presence, and his devotion to field sports. He, too, died early, leaving one son, Dr. Godwin C.

| 55 | "But the hatred of the 'usurping Hanovers' had not died out with the less violent times. The following memorable year, Gilbert, second after cousin "Sam Johnston" had succeeded in exhorting the people of his state to be the first to declare independence of a Britain turned tyrant, organized at his own expense a squadron of partisan light horse, and commanded them 'without pay or bounty' throughout the war. He served at first in North Carolina under Folsome and later in South Carolina with Francis Marion, the plans for whose famous corps had been made in his house. He carried the war to the enemy in the traditional way of his moss-trooping ancestors, who bore as their crest a 'flying spur,' won on horseback in saving the life of Bruce. With Gilbert were his sons, Gilbert III and Hugo, acting as troop commanders. The war over and their objects achieved, the Gilberts began to pine for the green lowland country into which their campaign with the Swamp Fox had taken them. Sheltering Brompton was bade farewell. The year 1790 found the infant America on its feet, Gilbert II and Gilbert III settled on 'Hartfell,' and Gilbert IV celebrating his ninth birthday. A home rose at 'Potato Bed Ferry,' looking over the Black into Williamsburg, and became the hub of a twenty-odd thousand acre plantation. Then came the news and cousin George, third and last Marquess of Annandale, Earl of Annandale and Hartfell, Viscount Annand, Baron de Joinville, Lord Johnstone of Lochwood, Lochmaben, Moffatdale and Evansdale, Heretable Constable of the King’s Palace of Lochamben and Steward of Annandale, had died unmarried, and with his death the male line of William, elder brother of John of Stapleton, became extinct. Several writers to the Signet are known to have come to Carolina with the news. Whether the Gilberts seriously considered returning to a Scotland under foreign rule we do not know. Contemporary records show, however, that shortly thereafter new grants were made out to Gilbert Johnston. . . of lands bordering on the Black . . . ." Source information: Johnson, James D. "Town of Andrews Situated On Land of Annandale Scions." The News and Courier. Charleston, SC, 1941. April 1, 2005. http://members.tripod.com/~andrews_sc/history1790.html "Gilbert Johnstone, Jr. was born in 1725 in Armagh, Northern Ireland, near Ballinamitagh, at the home of his mother's grandfather. Gilbert, as was his father and grandfather, a Jacobite and was with his father in 1746 at the Battle of Colluden. He fled with his parents to N.C. in 1746. On June 2, 1750 he married Margaret Warburton in North Carolina. There was grant from Earl Granville dated February 25, 1756 for 500 acres in Chowan Co., N.C. to John Warburton. The deed was issued August 8, 1759 and it bear's Johnstone's signature on the back. Johnstone remained at Brompton, the home of his Uncle Gabriel, until after the deaths of his Uncle Gabriel (1734), Gabriel's wife, Francis, and his parents, Gilbert (1775) and Caroline Johnstone. It is probable that Gilbert Johnstone and then Gilbert, Jr. purchased Brompton from Gabriel Johnstone. Brompton was made of imported brick from England so Gilbert, Jr. took some of these bricks and built a house in South Carolina on the Waccamaw River. His house was located in Prince George Parish in the Georgetown District, Winyaw. (Winyaw is the bay at Georgetown, S.C.) He obtained these lands through George Gould as nominee. (Francis Floyd also received lands in S.C. with George Gould as nominee). After the outbreak of The Revolutionary War, he raised a battalion of light horses, at his own expense, and served in the North Carolina Rangers under Col. Ebenezer Folsome and later served under Brig. Gen. Francis Marion in South Carolina. Some documents exist that refer to Johnstone's war activities. The South Carolina archives contain numerous stub indents to Gilbert Johnstone for provisions furnished including one for an especially valuable bay horse for Marion's use branded 'G.J.' on the mountain shoulder, but none for personal service. 'Mr. Johnstone will be pleased to have as many worms filaments & priming pans as Mr. Huger shall mention, made as quickly as possible, they being immediately wanted. John Rutledge, Sept. 8, 1777.' (John Rutledge was the President and Governor of South Carolina and one of the architects of the U.S. Constitution. 'Major Johnstone-to have such pans as Mr. Donovan may require for prisoners, to be made immediately. John Rutledge, June 1, 1779' Receipt for provisions 'for the use of the Troops commanded by Brig. Gen. Francis Marion, 18th June, 1782, Jas, Moore Commissary certified Fran. Marion, Brig. Gen. Red. 20 bushels peas for light horse battalion, Gilbert Johnstone.' 'State of South Carolina, to John Johnstone Dr. June 5, 1782, 3 beevers valued at 30 pounds Curr. for my Comd. Lt. Ho. Gilbert Johnstone. Certified Francis Marion, B.G.' In 1790, Gilbert Johnstone, Jr. wrote a letter to Susanna Barefield Johnstone, wife of his son Hugo. He wrote the letter from his home in Prince George Parish in S.C. and sent it to them at Whitemarsh in Bladen Co., N.C. He told of his family history and said that Francis Marion, Peter and Hugh Horry and Francis Huger met Ebenezer Folsome and Hugh Giles at his house in Prince George's Parish, Winyaw and that 'all chose Marion bar Folsome.' He also said that the Barefield tories burned his house to the cellar in retribution and that John Rutherford was a tory. (After Gabriel Johnstone died, his wife Francis married John Rutherford.) Johnstone also wrote that in 1780, Hugo took his men, all horsemen, with Marion. Francis Huger and James were often at his house. The first census of 1790 show Gilbert Johnstone, Jr. and his son, Gilbert III living at his Prince George Parish house. Johnstone had land grants in his name in Bladen Co., N.C. in 1779 and in Georgetown District, S.C. 'on the west side of Mitchells Swamp' in 1791. On the death of George Johnstone, the 3rd Marquis of Annandale, at Chiswick on April 27, 1792, Gilbert Johnstone, Jr. became the de facto Johnstone of that Ilk, Earl of Annandale and Hartfell. Having raised arms against the crown in the Jacobite rebellion and in the American War for independence, he was barred by punitive statutes, which remained in effect until 1807, from claiming the chiefship and peerages. Gilbert Johnstone, Jr. died in 1794 and was buried near the Waccamaw River. The exact location of his grave has not been determined. Among his relics are a brace of large bore duelling pistols, made in London with engraved silver butt plates bearing the winged spur crest of Johnstone of that Ilk surrounded by the words 'Gilbert Johnstone Junr. Gent. 1743.'(The will of his Uncle Samuel Johnstone of Onslow, N.C. is sealed in wax with the same crest.) There is an engraved portrait of him in an archer's costume inscribed in his hand, 'Gilbt. Johnstone Junr., Scots Archery Club, Edinburgh, 1745.' There is also a copy of Plutarch's Lives bearing the bookplate of William Johnstone, 1st Marquis of Annandale with an 'e' added in handwriting to the name on the printed bookplate, and the signature 'Gilbt. Johnstone jnr.' He also left gold cufflinks with the initials 'G.J.' For his seal he used the crests of both parents: the winged spur of Johnstone of Johnstone, and an arm in armour charged on the elbow with a spur rowel holding a sword erect over the motto, 'Nunquam Non Paratus, of Johnstone of Armagh and Kilmore.'

Only 1 of the 31 vessels evidently was built in North Carolina, the sloop Thomas & Tryal (twenty tons), constructed in 1738.62 Among the other vessels 1 was built in the West Indies and 3 in Britain; 1 vessel was a French prize. Between 1749 and 1775, 19 of the 117 vessels that transported slaves to North Carolina had been built there. Most of them had been laid down since 1760, by which time schooners as a type of vessel built in North Carolina had begun to outnumber sloops.63 For the 1780s no similar statements can be made because information about the place of construction is not available. Taking into account the volume of the trade and the nature of the water approaches to the ports of North Carolina, most of the vessels were small. Between 1723 and 1746 the majority of the vessels (19 out of 31) were 20 tons or under. The only vessel over 35 tons was the 70-ton brig Tryal of Boston. Between 1749 and 1775 the size of vessels had grown appreciably. Of the 117, only 11 were 20 tons or under; the most common tonnage was 40 to 50 tons, with 38 vessels in that category. Six vessels were 100 tons or more. Finally, between 1784 and 1790, more than half of the vessels (49 of 93) were 50 tons or under. Fourteen of the vessels were 100 tons or more, with the largest vessel carrying slaves to North Carolina being 360 tons. Only the largest vessels ships were British owned; in the main, vessels belonged to owners in the American mainland colonies or in the West Indies. It was unusual for an owner to possess more than one vessel, although, for example, in the third quarter of the eighteenth century Richard Quince owned six vessels, Samuel Cornell, George Blair, and Harold Blackmore owned three each, and Muscoe Livingstone owned two, while in the 1780s John Spicer owned two and James Hankinson and John Barrow jointly owned two. It was more common for masters to own vessels. Of the vessels belonging to North Carolinians, the majority were the property of Wilmington ship-owners. Most of the vessels were trading at a venture, and there were few if any constant traders. Nor were there many merchants regularly involved in the trade, which appears to have been casual rather than systematic. Luke Swain of Charleston is one of the few (being both master and shipowner) who participated more regularly. Most of the New York shippers similarly were involved in only a single voyage. Early in the century, the exceptions were Tunis Vangelder, who engaged in three voyages in 1723-1725, and John Vanpelt, senior and junior, who were involved in twelve voyages between 1725 and 1734."

On the failure of the Battle of Culloden, in which Stapleton was injured, he and his son Gilbert, Jr., were forced to flee for their lives - first to Ireland and then to North Carolina, where Governor Gabriel’s greatest brother was to inveigle the colonists into paying quit-rents. Governor Gabriel Johnstone had built at "Brompton," on the Cape Fear, an imposing mansion which he intended to occupy, as soon as it was complete. He failed to reckon, however, on falling in love with Penelope, the step-daughter of Governor Charles Eden and in her own right a large heiress. By the time Brompton was completed, he found himself permanently settled on his wife’s plantation at Edenton. Thus to Gilbert’s joy at escaping the fate of being drawn-and-quartered along with the gallant Balmerino and others, and at once more seeing his brothers including the youngster Samuel, whose son and namesake was one day to be almost unanimously elected president of the Continental Convention, was added that of finding an estate complete to thoroughbred horses ready for his immediate occupancy: here he died in 1775, leaving a family that fairly filled the spacious halls of Brompton."

During the Revolution he was the trusted adviser of William Hooper, Samuel Johnston, and other Whig leaders. In 1787 the assembly appointed him a commissioner to compile and revise the laws of the state. A part of his collection was printed in 1789, and the whole work, known as "Iredell's Revisal," was published in 1791 (Edenton). He was the leader of the Federalists of North Carolina, and in the convention held at Hillsborough in 1788 he argued without success in favor of the adoption of the Federal constitution. On 10 February, 1790, President Washington appointed him an associate justice of the United States supreme court. In the case of Chishohn's executor against Georgia he delivered a dissenting opinion to the effect that the Federal court could not exercise jurisdiction over a state at the suit of a private citizen. In that of Wilson against Daniels he also dissented, and his view relative to jurisdiction on a writ of error was adopted in subsequent rulings of the court. His addresses to grand juries, explaining and extolling the constitution, were often published at the request of the jurors in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Richmond, Iredell county was named after him in 1788. He left nearly ready for the press at his death a treatise on pleading, which has never been published. See his " Life and Correspondence," by Griffith J. McRee (New York, 1857).--His son, James, senator, born in Eden-ton, North Carolina, 2 November, 1788; died there, 13 April, 1853, was graduated at Princeton in 1806, and studied law. In the war of 181, -'15 he raised a company of volunteers, and, marching with them to Norfolk, tool< part in the defence of Craney island. After the peace he returned to his profession, and was sent to the state house of representatives in 1816. He was speaker in 1817 and 1818, and was returned to the legislature for many years. In March, 1819, he was nominated a judge of the superior court, but resigned two months later. He was elected governor of North Carolina in 1827, and on the resignation of Nathaniel Macon was sent to the United States senate, serving from 23 December, 1828, till 3 March, 1831. He subsequently practised law in Raleigh, and for many years was reporter of the decisions of the supreme court. He was one of three commissioners who were appointed to collect and revise the laws in force in the state. The result of their labors was the revised statutes passed at the session of 1836-'7, and afterward published (Raleigh, 1837). His reports of law-eases in the supreme court fill thirteen volumes, and the reports of eases in equity eight volumes (Raleigh, 1841-'52). He published also a "Treatise on the Law of Executors and Administrators," and a "Digest of all the Reported Cases in the Courts of North Carolina, 1778 to 1845" (Raleigh, 1839-'46)."

He was educated in England and in 1768 became Colonial Comptroller of Customs in Edenton, North Carolina. While serving in that position, Iredell read law and was admitted to practice in 1770. In 1776, he resigned from his position with Customs and joined the independence movement. When North Carolina severed its ties with the British Crown, Iredell served on a commission to redraft the state's laws. In 1778, the Superior Court of North Carolina was created and Iredell was named one of its three Judges. He resigned after a few months because of the rigors of circuit riding and resumed his law practice. He served as Attorney General of North Carolina from 1779 to 1781. Under a new state constitution, Iredell codified the laws of North Carolina. In 1788, he served as floor leader of the Federalists in North Carolina Ratification Convention. On February 8, 1790, President George Washington nominated Iredell to the Supreme Court of the United States. The Senate confirmed the appointment two days later. Iredell served for nine years on the Supreme Court and died on October 20, 1799, at the age of forty-eight." Source information: "Chief Justices."

James Iredell sailed from England to the English colony of North Carolina in 1768 to be a customs officer at the port of Edenton. While serving King George III at the port of Edenton, Iredell studied law under Samuel Johnston, who would become his brother-in-law, mentor, and friend. Iredell became a superior lawyer and the leading essayist in his region in support of American independence. Following the American Revolution, he was the foremost advocate in North Carolina for adoption of the proposed federal Constitution and later served on the Supreme Court after ratification. In Justice James Iredell, Whichard traces the life of this public servant from customs officer to lawyer to eminent statesman and concludes with a description of the man himself: his family, friends, finances, slaves, and religion. This fascinating book includes a picture of Justice Iredell as well as pictures of his wife, associates, home town, and publications. It is the only biography chronicling the achievements of this important figure in North Carolina and American history. 'In this first definitive biography of Iredell, Whichard . . . superbly captures the essence of circuit riding at that time, juxtaposing the almost unbearable hardships of primitive travel to the social amenities and associations with the prominent figures of the day. A model of biographical research and a fitting tribute to an unsung hero.'

File was contributed by: Dayle Noble biba "English-born James Iredell-- a future United States Supreme Court Justice immigrated to North Carolina at the age of seventeen in 1768. As a relative of Henry Eustace McCulloh, collector of Port Roanoke, Iredell was appointed His Majesty’s comptroller of customs at the port, located in the town of Edenton. Iredell began his diary at the age of nineteen, submitting his activities to paper as a great means of producing an [sic] habit of Industry, & Application, which I hope will be of the greatest utility to me in my future Walk of Life Iredell’s diary begins in 1770, the year he read law under Samuel Johnston, the nephew of a former royal governor, and was successfully licensed at Edenton to practice law in the inferior courts of North Carolina. The diary ends in early 1773, shortly before Iredell married Hannah Johnston, one of Samuel Johnston’s sisters. The diary itself is revealing of a high-minded and ambitious young man, his romantic feelings, and his social world—one of the few such accounts existing for North Carolina during this period. It also offers a vivid picture of young Iredell’s network of friends and aquaintances in pre-Revolutionary Edenton, along with his legal study and his thoughts on political ideas and events at home and abroad. Most powerfully, it offers an intimate glimpse of his courtship with Hannah, along with his strong feelings about women and his desire for mutual respect as a basis for marriage. One passage, dated November 16, 1772, is especially revealing: 'Heard in the Course of the Evening many discharges of Guns on acct. of Horniblow’s being married to Nancy Rainbough---Was told she was averse to the Match, & forced to it by her Father & Mother. ---Is it true? can such cruel Parents exist?---& too easy, too compliant Daughter with the desire of your Parents in a point they have no right to command. The married State to Parties whose Minds are in unison with each other, & whose hearts are connected by the fondest Ties of Affections is the most blissful Situation The Mind of Many can conceive. Oh! Hannah, I trust We shall be happy---Our Hearts are disposed to good & Benevolent Actions---Our Wishes formed on no Visionary Basis---& our Affections cemented by the strongest, dearest Ties of the most tender Attachment.---God grant, I may have it in some degree in my powers, by a pleasing, unremitting Attention to make her happy, to succeed in my Endeavors.' In the year following his marriage, Iredell wrote To the Inhabitants of Great Britain” opposing the concept of Parliamentary supremacy over America. This essay helped establish Iredell as the most influential political essayist in pre-Revolutionary North Carolina. Also during 1774, McCulloh negotiated the transfer of the collectorship of the Port of Roanoke to Iredell a post he held until June 1776 when he irrevocably cast his lot with the Patriots. Iredell was in Edenton at the time of the Edenton Tea Party on October 25, 1774, one of the earliest known instances of political activity by American women. Possibly because of Iredell’s official position, Hannah Johnston Iredell refrained from signing resolutions supporting the First North Carolina Provincial Congress, which voted to boycott certain British products. However, the names of Hannah’s sisters and her sisters-in-law were on the list. The London newspapers carried accounts of the event, prompting Iredell’s brother Arthur to write from England the following much quoted letter: 'I see by the newspapers the Edenton ladies have signalized themselves by their protest against tea-drinking. The name of Johnston [the maiden name of Mrs. Iredell] I see among others; are any of my sister’s relations patriotic heroines? Is there a female Congress at Edenton too? I hope not for we Englishmen are afraid of the male Congress, but if the ladies, who have ever since the Amazonian Era, been esteemed the most formidable enemies, if they, I say should attack us, the most fatal consequence is to be dreaded.''

The county was formed out of Rowan County and was named for James Iredell who was appointed as one of the original Justices of the United States Supreme Court on Feb. 10, 1790 by President George Washington. James Iredell was born on Oct. 5, 1750 in Lewis, England and was the son of an English merchant. Iredell served as a North Carolina State Supreme Court Justice 1777-1778 and as attorney general of North Carolina from 1779-1781. He was appointed to the first United States Supreme Court in February of 1790 and served on the court for nine years. Ironically, Iredell never set foot in the county he is named for as he made his home in Edenton, N.C. He was however pleased at having a county named after him. In a letter to his aide John Steele he wrote, “Few things have happened to me with greater surprise and pleasure, I am sure, than the unexpected honor of having a new county, which has been formed out of Rowan, called by my name.” He and his close friend William R. Davie fought for ratification of the Constitution and the founding of the University of North Carolina. Like James Iredell, William R. Davie would later have a county named after him when Davie County was carved out of Rowan County. Iredell and Davie County border each other standing side by side on a map just as their namesakes once stood side by side. Iredell died on Sunday, Oct. 20, 1799 at the age of 48 leaving a wife and family.

It was the home of his friend and fellow U.S. Supreme Court Justice James Iredell, who had been instrumental in the North Carolina ratification of the Constitution. Within a few months, Wilson died there. The little-altered Iredell House, which is in excellent condition, is a large L-shaped structure. It is constructed of frame and is two stories in height. The roof is gabled. Two-story verandas span the front, or south, and rear elevations of the long arm of the ell. Transoms flank the central entrances on both levels, and louvered shutters flank the windows. The building was erected in three stages. The earliest, the present short, or east, arm of the ell, was built in 1759 by John Wilkins. In 1776 Joseph Whedbee enlarged the structure by adding to its west side the two easternmost bays of the present five-bay long arm. In 1810 Iredell's widow extended the arm by three bays to its present size and added the verandas. The original section of the house contains a living room and one other room on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second. The first floor of the 1776 portion consists of the dining room; the second floor, a large bedroom. These two sections are furnished as a historic house museum. The remaining part of the long arm, dating from 1810, serves as the caretaker's quarters. The State owns and administers the residence." Source information: "James Iredell House."

But he gained the esteem of George Washington, who as President appointed him in 1790 to the Supreme Court of the United States."

In 1788, he was a member of the convention that met at Hillsboro to deliberate on the Constitution of the United States, and was the able, but unsuccessful, advocate of its adoption.

| 64 | "James C. Johnston died a bachelor. He was a gentleman of the old school, literary, cultured, and noted for his immense wealth, his lavish generosity and his many eccentricities. He was a warm friend and ardent admirer of Henry Clay. When this great statesman became heavily involved James C. Johnston voluntarily and without the knowledge of his friend paid off Clay's indebtedness, amounting to about forty thousand dollars. He had a great appreciation of real worth wherever found, even in the humblest walks of life. Upon one occasion his overseer so pleased him by industry and diligence that he presented the astonished man with a check for one thousand dollars in addition to his regular pay. Upon the death of Malachi Haughton, his trusted attorney, Mr. Johnston had a handsome shaft erected to his memory in St. Paul's churchyard, bearing these lines: A wit's a feather, and a chief's a rod, An honest man's the noblest work of God. James C. Johnston died May 9th, 1865. Many years previous to his death he had designed his own sarcophagus, two immense blocks of solid white marble of equal size, fitting one upon the other, the exact shape of a coffin being carved out of the center. The metallic coffin with its silent occupant has rested in this safe repository for fifty years, and will doubtless remain intact for centuries to come. During his later life Mr. Johnston became alienated from his family, and by a holographic will bequeathed his vast estate to three chosen friends. His family contested the will on the ground of mental alienation. It is doubtful whether any case ever tried in the courts of North Carolina has presented a greater array of legal talent than did this famous Johnston Will Case. Both the prosecution and the defense were represented by some of the ablest jurists of the State, conspicuous among whom were Zebulon B. Vance, John Pool, William A. Graham, Baxton Bragg, Henry Gilliam and William Moore. It was from the old Johnston burying-ground at Hayes that the remains of Justice Wilson were removed to Philadelphia. And here Gov. Samuel Johnston, James C. Johnston and the Iredells, father and son, lie buried." Source Information: Pool, Betty Freshwater. Literature in the Albermarle.

Displayed here is most of the plantation library's original collection of books, as well as other furnishings and art works provided to the North Carolina collection by John Gilliam Wood, the present owner of Hayes. The library contains nearly 1,800 volumes, with imprints dating from the late 1500s to the 1860s. Originally the property of James Cathcart Johnston, the plantation house and its library were built between 1814 and 1817 and were designed by William Nichols, an English architect who later became state architect of North Carolina. Architecturally, the library itself was ahead of its time in the United States, in large part due to its Neo-Gothic elements, a style not widely used in this country until the late 1830s. An adherent to the Palladian school of architecture, Nichols strove for symmetry and balance in form in his designs. This accounts for the repeated use of the octagon in this room. Nichols' use of angled bookshelves in the library's corners established an eight-sided room. At the library's center sits an eight-sided table that has eight legs that are planed on eight sides. James C. Johnston was one of North Carolina's most prosperous planters. He inherited his extensive holdings from his influential father, Samuel Johnston, a native of Scotland who had immigrated to North Carolina with his family as a small child. Samuel was very well-connected politically. His uncle was Gabriel Johnston, North Carolina's royal governor from 1734 to 1752. Later, Samuel served North Carolina in the General Assembly and as state governor himself from 1787 to 1789. Through Samuel and his great-uncle, James inherited his fine collection of books, which he enlarged considerably over the years. In fact, in the decades prior to the Civil War, the collection at Hayes was among the largest libraries in North Carolina. James never married. Consequently, he made his vast holdings the lifelong focus of his attention, spending most of his time managing and augmenting his father's estate. By the 1860s, James owned many thousands of acres worked by hundreds of slaves. At his death in 1865, he bequeathed Hayes to a trusted business associate, Edward Wood, whose descendant today remains the owner of the plantation house and its related properties."

After the Governor's death it was occupied by his son, James C. Johnston, who bequeathed it to Edward Wood, father of the present owner. Hayes is situated on Edenton Bay about a mile outside the town limits. A beautiful avenue of cedars leads up to this stately and picturesque mansion. Its extensive grounds are ornamented by artistic shrubbery, bowers of roses, stately elms, sycamores and oaks, and the beautiful and fragrant magnolia. The architecture of Hayes is unique. The large central building, with its beautiful Corinthian columns, portico and cupola, is connected by a colonnade with capacious wings extending to the north and south. The large dining room on the left of the broad central hall is finished in black walnut cut from the woods skirting Roanoke River by the Johnston slaves many years previous to the Civil War. The walls of this room are literally lined with handsome portraits of the noted Americans of Johnston's day: Webster, Clay, Gaston, Marshall, Governors Morehead and Graham, and Judges Badger and Nash. The library which occupies the north wing of the mansion is octagonal in design. It contains about five thousand volumes; rare old books in costly bindings, in a perfect state of preservation, and manuscripts of historic interest, including letters and papers of John Paul Jones, once a guest at Hayes, Johnston's Revolutionary correspondence, letters from Jefferson, Adams, Anthony Wayne, John Sevier, Robert Morris and other men of note. A most interesting relic in this collection is a copy of The New Bern Gazette, published in 1775, just after the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. On the walls of the library hang the portraits of Gov. Samuel Johnston, James C. Johnston, Judge Iredell, John Stanley, Gavin Hogg, Judge Ruffin and Thomas Baker, the latter done by Sir Joshua Reynolds.

Samuel Johnston, an Edenton lawyer and a shrewd observer of colonial affairs, described the events of the day: 'Capt. Phipps brought the Gov.r up from Brunswick [located 15 miles south of Wilmington on the Cape Fear River] to Wilmington in his Barge with all the parade peculiar to that kind of Gentry .... That the Ceremony might be attended with the greatest Pomp the Militia of the Neighborhood to the No of abt 2000 as is said appeared under Arms to receive his Excelly' "According to an account of the event published in the Maryland Gazette, the New Hanover militia as well as the mayor, aldermen, and Gentlemen of the town lined the streets leading from the wharf to the governor’s house and saluted Tryon by the Discharge of 17 Pieces of Artillery. Although at first welcomed by the people of Wilmington, Tryon changed their mood when he stressed in his inaugural speech the Necessity of America’s helping her Mother and begged the people to receive the Stamps. The audience responded with a general Hiss which became an ominous cheer when a merchant ship in the harbor, in violation of naval law, unfurled the Irish national flag. According to the account of Samuel Johnston, this act of defiance nigh turned the Coronation Farce into a very Serious Tragedy. When Captain Phipps, the British officer despised by local residents because of his attempt to land stamped papers, ordered his men to seize the Irish flag, a number of townspeople decided to get it back. Johnston’s chronicle of the ensuing events is full of detail and drama: '{Phipps’s capture of the Irish flag] so affronted not only the sailors but the Townsmen and Militiamen that they insulted the Capt. as he went to his Lodgings, hauled up the Boat to the Court house and were about to set fire to her when it was proposed by some of the more moderate to spare the boat for the Captain’s Releasing the Colours which was agreed to on Condition it was done within 15 Minutes, this was complied with. They then manned the Boat as if on the Water and dragged her round the Town till they came under the Window of Capt. Phipps’ Lodgings where they made a stand to insult him, The Gov.r who was in the house harangued the mob from one of the Windows in such a State as exasperated them as much agst. him as they had been agst. the Capt. they then Launched the Boat into the water and collected themselves Round an Ox and 6 or 7 Barrells of punch which had been given by his Excelly. they immediately broke in the heads of the Barrels of Punch and let run into the street, put the head of the Ox in the Pillory and gave the Carcass to the Negroes. This was what the Gov.rs Vanity could by no means brook in so much that when the Corporation of Wilmington offered to address him in order to exculpate themselves he refused to see their Recorder or hear their Address and it’s said he’d determined to leave that place and settle at New Bern. Capt. Phipps went down to bring up his ship [from Brunswick] in order to blow the Town to pieces and when my informer came from Wilmington had got as far as the Flats [at Old Town Creek] where he was taking out his Ballast..' "Captain Phipps never carried out his threat to fire on the town, nor did any official in London, so far as is known, ever learn about the ill-starred inauguration of the governor. Tryon cryptically wrote the British ministry on December 26 that North Carolinians had been as assiduous in obstructing the reception of the Stamps as any of the Inhabitants. But he withheld any details of their rebellious activities. The governor may have hoped to avoid discrediting his government by deliberately failing to mention the lawless behavior of the colony. Yet, if Tryon lost face in Wilmington on December 20, he retaliated in a way that truly harmed the town. Residents hoped that the town would be chosen as the site for the proposed new capital, but after his stormy inauguration there, Tryon and the assembly apparently decided to establish the colonial capital at New Bern. The explosive incident at Wilmington on December 20 offered striking proof that in certain circumstances even the governor of North Carolina, the colony’s chief police officer, would do nothing to preserve order. The New Hanover militia, ordinarily an arm of the law, had insulted a captain of the royal navy and made a mockery of the governor’s inaugural celebration, accomplishing all without any obvious fear of reprisal. On the following day, according to Samuel Johnston’s missive of January 9, 1766, the corporation of Wilmington did attempt to extend an official apology to the governor, but apparently no persons were arrested, no townspeople were punished."

Among the first of these is Samuel Johnston; born 1733, died 1816. He was a native of Dundee, Scotland, the son of John Johnston and Helen Serymsour. His father in 1736, followed Gabriel Johnston, who was his brother, and who was in 1834 the governor of the province of North Carolina, and after whom Johnstone County is called. He died July 17th, 1752. He was a Scotchman by birth, a man of liberal views, and a physician by profession. He married Penelope, the only child of Governor Eden, and his grandson, William Johnstone Dawson, distinguished for his acquirements and talents, in 1793 represented the Edenton district in congress, and with Willie Jones, Joseph McDowell, Thomas Blount and James Martin, was on the committee in 1791 to fix a permanent place for the seat of government. He died in 1798; an event universally regretted. John, his brother, was appointed surveyor-general of the province, and settled in Onslow County, whilst the subject of this sketch was yet an infant. His advantages of education were the best the country afforded. He studied law in Edenton, under Thomas Barker, and resided at Hays, near Edenton. When only nineteen he was appointed one of the clerks of the superior court for the district, and afterwards deputy naval officer for the port. Although holding this position, he was the ardent and unflinching advocate of the rights of the people. In 1773, he was appointed with Caswell, Harnett and Hooper a committee of correspondence with the other colonies on the subject of the conduct of England towards the colonies. In a dispatch from Governor Martin to the Earl of Dartmouth, of September 1st, 1774, he thus speaks of the influence and the character of Mr. Johnston: 'I have known the general assembly to sacrifice everything to a faction. Four of them, namely Currituck, Perquimons, Pasquotank and Chowan, send each five members; Tyrell, Bertie and Martin send eight, besides one for Edenton. These are always led by a man or two. They are now absolutely under the guidance of a Mr. Johnstone, who is deputy naval officer, and was one of the clerks of the superior courts while they existed in the province, who, under the prejudices of a New England education, is by no means a friend of the government, having taken a foremost part in all the late opposition, joined with the Southern interest, which at present supports a Mr. Ashe. Your lordship will not be surprised to hear that the people of this province have followed the example of the rest of the continent in caballing and forming resolutions against the measures of the Government.' * Colonial Documents, Rolls Office, p. 184. As was to be expected, Governor Martin suspended Mr. Johnston from office, which drew from him the following dignified letter, now on file in the Rolls Office in London: EDENTON, November 16th, 1775. 'SIR: I have this day had the honor of receiving your excellency's letter, signifying that you had been pleased to suspend me from acting as deputy to Mr. Turner, in the Naval office, with the reasons for such removal, and it gives me pleasure that I do not find neglect of the duties of my office in the catalogue of my crimes; at the same time I hold myself obliged to you for the polite manner in which you are pleased to express yourself of my private character. You will pardon me for saying that I had reason to complain of the invidious point of view in which you place my public transactions, when you state that 'the late meeting of the inhabitants of this province at Hillsboro, was a body of my own creation.' Your excellency cannot be ignorant that I was a mere instrument on this occasion, under the direction of the people; a people among whom I have long resided, who have on all occasions placed the greatest confidence in me, and to whom I am bound by gratitude (that powerful and inviolate tie in every honest mind,) to render any service they can demand of me, in defense of what they esteem their rights, at the risk of my life and property. You will further, sir, be pleased to understand, that I never considered myself in that honorable light in which you place me--'one of the King's servants,' being entirely unknown to those who have the disposal of the King's favors. I never enjoyed, nor had I right to expect, any office under His Majesty. The office I held, and for some years exercised under the deputation of Mr. Turner, was an honest purchase for which I paid punctually an annual sum, and which I shall continue to pay until the expiration of the term for which I would have held it, agreeably to our contract. Permit me, sir, to add that had all the King's servants in this province been as well informed as to the disposition of the inhabitants, as they might have been, or taken the same pains to promote peace, good order, and obedience to the laws, that I flatter myself I have done, the source of your excellency's unceasing lamentations had never existed; or had it existed, it would have been in so small a degree that e'er this it would have been nearly exhausted. But, sir, a recapitulation of past errors, which it is now too late to correct, would be painful to me, and might appear impertinent to you; I shall therefore decline the ungracious task, and by and with all due respect, subscribe myself, Your excellency's most obedient, humble servant, SAMUEL JOHNSTONE.' "He was a member from Chowan in 1775, to the provincial congress of the state, and succeeded, on the death of John Harvey, as moderator or president. He was present at Halifax at the formation of the constitution in November, 1776, and although not a member, afforded all the aid of his experience and ability to develope the conservative features of that instrument. To many of the principles adopted, he was opposed, fearing the departure from the forms long established and practiced was too great to be useful. In 1780 to 1782, he was a member of the Continental Congress.* While a member of the Continental Congress he was elected to the high honor of president of that body; but he was compelled to forego this distinction because of the condition of his finances. This compelled his return to North Carolina, and he had thus to forego what was then the highest civil function in America--Journal of Continental Congress. In 1787, he was elected governor of the state. He was an ardent and enthusiastic admirer of the constitution of the United States, and presided at the convention. held July 21st, 1788, to consider that instrument, but it was rejected by that body. In 1779, he and Benjamin Hawkins were elected the first senators from North Carolina in the Congress of the United States: here they served till 1793. In February, 1800, he was appointed one of the judges of the superior courts of law and equity, which he resigned in November, 1803 He died in 1816. Governor Johnston was mentally and physically "every inch a man." His intellect was of the highest order, cultivated by learning and experience. His person was imposing, of a large and powerful frame, erect and stately in his carriage, and of iron will. He joined the graces of the scholar with the wisdom of the statesman.* He was a devoted advocate of masonry, and was in 1788, grand master of the order in the state.* * 'In the lodge room at Edenton,' says Mr. Banks in the Observer, there is a remarkable chair of heavy mahogany, carved with all the emblems of masonry, with the words, "virtute et silento." This chair is the one which General Washington occupied at Williamsburg. Va., and was deposited here during the revolutionary war for safety. It is a venerable relic, and possesses the reverence and regard of all masons.' He married Frances Cathcart, and had issue, among them James C. Johnston, who lived near Edenton, and died during the war between the states, about 1864, one of the wealthiest men of the state. He was so decidedly opposed to secession that he disinherited all his relatives, because they identified themselves with this war, and left his property, amounting to many millions, to his personal friends. At the outbreak of the war he freed his slaves. He was a great admirer of Henry Clay, whose debts, to a large amount, Mr. Johnston discharged without Mr. Clay's knowledge; nor was Mr. Clay ever able to ascertain who was his benefactor. His will was contested by his legal heirs, on the ground of his being non compos mentis. Source Information: Wheeler, John H.

His choice of a mate was Elizabeth Green, of one of the first settled families of Prince Frederick, and descended from the ancient Greenes of Boketon, in Northamptonshire. Her father was Captain Richard G. Green, son of the youthful Captain Richard Green who was at one time with Sergeant McDonald in harboring no love for the unfortunate Major Gainey, as the following incident relates. 'Major Gainey, with another Tory visited Green’s mother’s house one night when Richard and James happened to be on furlough. They decamped at once with the boys in hot pursuit. This Major Gainey was the same man who carried the bayonet in his back into Georgetown. Being asked how it felt, he replied that it gave a great pain but it was not half so bad as when Mr. Green’s rifle ball knocked nearly all his teeth down his throat!' Richard Green was a grandson of John Green, original owner of "Mansfield" plantation, near Georgetown, known as the home of the distinguished Parker and Man families. Joseph Benjamin Johnstone changed the spelling of his name to "Johnson" a few years prior to the War Between the States, because of the frequent confusion with the family of Archibald Johnstone of nearby "Annandale" plantation. Not spoiling the 100 per cent Confederate record of Georgetown, Joseph Benjamin himself, until his death in 1861 and his four sons all donned the gray immediately after the firing on Fort Sumter. The eldest son, Richard Green, was a member of the Hampton Legion. Gilbert joined Company E, Tenth regiment, South Carolina Volunteers; John was in Company L, Seventh regiment, South Carolina Volunteers; and Jasper, too young to be sent to the front, served as a prison guard at Camp Marion.

| 70 | "The peculiar history of the American Johnstones of Annandale begins properly with Captain the Hon. John Johnstone, second son of James, Earl of Annandale and Hartfell and Lady Henrietta Douglas and brother of William first Marquess of Annandale. Raised in the home of his uncle, the Duke of Hamilton, John’s ardent support of the fated Stuart cause (which monarchs, besides being related to had ennobled his forebears) led his descendants into many strange adventures. John was married to Elizabeth, daughter of Gabriel Belchier in 1698 and went to France with the deposed James II, serving "with distinction" under Louis XIV. The Battle of Boyne found him still further out of grace with the existing government, but the influence of his brother, who had espoused the cause of William and Mary, saved his life. Shortly afterward he was enabled to return to the ancestral Scottish border estates of Annandale. Here, for a while, he and his sons resided at "Stapleton," an ancient fortress-tower overlooking a branch of the Annan." Source information: Johnson, James D.

"The Royal Scots have the distinction of being not only the oldest of the Scottish regiments but the oldest regiment in the British Army. In 1633 Sir John Hepburn offered to raise a regiment for service with the French in the Thirty Years' War against Austria and Spain. He absorbed what remained of some Scottish companies which had been in the French service since 1590 and some officers and men from other French-Scottish units such as the Scottish Guard and the Scottish Men-at-Arms. In March, 1633, King Charles I granted a warrant authorising men to be raised for the regiment in Scotland and that date is generally taken as the beginning of the regiment as a British regiment. Hepburn's claim of precedence for the regiment over all others in the French service caused some bad feeling and as a hit at mercenaries, one of the senior French regiments nicknamed it "Pontius Pilate's Bodyguard." Sir John Hepburn was only 38 when he was killed at the siege of Saverne in 1636. In 1684 the title of 'The Royal Regiment of Foot' was conferred on it. The regiment gained its first battle honour in 1680 at Tangier and later was heavily engaged at the battles of Steenkirk and Landen and the siege of Namur, during King William's War of 1689-1697. From 1701 to 1713 it took part under Marlborough in the War of the Spanish Succession and in 1745 it was in the first line of attack on the bloody field of Fontenoy." Source Information: "The Royal Scots Lineage Page." http://www.btinternet.com/~james.mckay/royal1st.htm "From Whig histories one would gain the impression that the national army supported William. But there was widespread dissatisfaction throughout the country. William feared a national uprising led by English army units. Of 40,000 in the British army, 10,000 were dismissed and 10,000 sent to man towns in Ireland. A further 10,000 were ordered to Holland. This left 10,000 English troops to face an occupation force of 19,000. There was army unrest and a regiment at Ipswich refused to embark, under a Dutch general, for Holland. Seizing cannon they marched to join pro-James forces in Scotland. It was politically embarrassing for the Dutch to attack British troops on English soil, but William couldn't rely on the loyalty of any English troops he might send against them. So 4,000 Dutch cavalry under General Ginkal were sent. They surrounded them at Sleaford in Lincolnshire. Being outnumbered, the British had to surrender and were quickly sent to Holland. William warned his commander in Holland that the 10,000 British troops were unreliable. They were constantly toasting 'King James'. The Ipswich event led to the 1689 Mutiny Act ordering the death penalty for mutiny or desertion. All fighting against James' supporters from 1689 till 1691 was, apart from Mackay, under the command of foreign generals. These were Soims, Ginkal, Schomberg, Wilhelm and Ruvigny. The occupation of Ulster in 1689 was organised principally by Bentinck, Schomberg and Solms. Not one English minister or commander played a significant part in this major operation. Of Schomberg's eight aides, one only could speak English. It was Dutch, Danish and Huguenot troops supported by modern powerful Dutch artillery that won the battle of the Boyne. The Dutch could not risking ordering English or Scottish troops to fire on James' army, so kept them in the rear. In modern language, Britain had become a military satellite of Holland."

Apr 1, 2005. http://www.church-in-history.org/pages/booklets/king-james(n)-4.htm Born in Dresden, Saxony, Frederick Augustus was the son of John George III and Princess Anne Sophie of Denmark. In 1694, upon the death of his elder brother John George IV, he became Elector of Saxony as Frederick Augustus I. Following the death of the Polish king John III Sobieski, Augustus converted to Catholicism and was elected king of Poland in 1697 with the help and support of Russia and Austria. He also had financial support from a successful Jewish banker, Berend Lehmann. The legality of the election was questioned by some Poles. About Frederick August (Augustus ll), Elector fo Saxony, King of Poland: "An ambitious ruler, Augustus hoped to make the Polish throne hereditary within his family, and to use his resources as Elector of Saxony to impose some order on the chaotic Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. However, he was soon distracted from his internal reform projects by the possibility of external conquest. He formed an alliance with Frederick IV of Denmark and Peter I of Russia to despoil the young king Charles XII of Sweden of his possessions. Poland's reward was to be the Swedish territory of Livonia. Charles proved to be an able military commander, however, quickly forcing the Danes out of the war and then temporarily driving back the Russians at Narva, allowing him to focus on the struggle with Augustus. Charles defeated Augustus at Riga on June 17, 1701, forcing the Polish-Saxon army to withdraw from Livonia, and followed this up by an invasion of Poland, seizing Warsaw on May 14, 1702, defeating the Polish-Saxon army again at Kliszow, and seizing Cracow. Another Augustan army was defeated at Pultusk in the spring of the next year, and Charles besieged and captured Thorn. By this time, Augustus was certainly ready for peace, but Charles felt that he would be more secure if he could establish a more pliable candidate on the Polish throne. The Swedes installed Stanislas Leszczyn'ski in 1704, and Charles invaded Saxony itself in 1706, forcing Augustus to give up the Polish throne to Stanislas by the Treaty of Altranstadt. After the Swedish defeat in the Battle of Poltava, he returned to the throne under Russian auspices in 1709. For the remainder of his reign, he was more or less dependent on Russia (and, to a lesser extent, Austria) to maintain his position as King, although it was an uneasy relationship. Augustus died in 1733. Although he was unsuccessful in his attempt to make the Polish kingdom hereditary, his eldest son, Frederick Augustus II of Saxony, followed him as King of Poland as Augustus III, although he had to be installed by a Russian army in the War of the Polish Succession. Augustus II was called Augustus the Strong for his bearlike strength and also for his numerous offspring. It is sometimes written that he sired 365 children. Although this figure would be extremely difficult to verify, Augustus II did father a very large number of illegitimate children, the most famous of whom was Maurice de Saxe (his son by Aurora von Königsmarck), the brilliant French military commander. He successfully set out to discover the secret of the "White Gold", as the porcelain he produced in Dresden and Meissen was called. He also gathered many of the best architects and painters from all over Europe in Dresden, and his rule marks the beginning of Dresden's development as a leading centre of technology and art. Augustus's body was buried in Poland --all but his heart, which is in Dresden castle." Source information: "Augustus II of Poland." Wikopedia.org.
